KANSAS COMNENT
THE NArIvE KANsAN.

LIE NATIVE h<A4NC%1AN.
Nowhere on the face of the gloDe
does the native jump from optimism
to pessimism and back again as ire
quently as on the prairies OF Kansas.
Ihis human barometer has been
known to run the full length OF the
gauge and back again a half dozen
times in one day. This July morn the
FARMER gets up and watches the sun
climb out of its bed of red robes and
mount the brassy stairway that leads
to the MONDAY zenith. The burning
rays beat down and penetrate his very
gizzard. The corn begins to curl and
the pitch oozeS from the sides of the
granary. The weary dog crawls under
the porch and breathes hard and fast.
while the hogs and the cattle and the
horses gasp for breath to sustain
them. Gaunt and fantastic figures OF
failure" dance before his eyes and
the hydra-headed mortgage crawls
out of the back doorway and begins to
swallow his acres by the dozen. Then
comes the rain, and what dffference
In the morning. The corn drinks It's
fill and stretches away in waving bill
lows or green, the cattle Craze con-
tentedly on thes hill sides, the gentle
breezes watt sweet songs of hope ana
plenty to his glad ears, and he hitches
up and comes to town and tells the
merchant that Kansas is the best
country on the face of the globe. He
feels it and means it. In three days
the sun has boiled all the optimism
Jul VI AAAd SJSlSIl anu 1AC again Sues
down to the spring of pessimism and
quaffs a few bowlsfuI. On again, off
again. Such are the ways of the ma
tive Kansan.-Osborne Farmer.

Parties looking over the books of
permits filed with the probate judge
showing the sales of liquor by drug
gists on sworn statements, have some
times found that. prominent workers
in the temperance cause, and famous
members of business, theatrical and
political life have had great and per-
sistent need for beer for the tooth
ache. Now comes the county attor-
ney of Shawnee and begins prosecu-
lions against men who have signed
other names than their own and de-
clares that he will convict them of
forgery and put them in the peniten- |
tfary. Heretofore the joint keeper |
and the druggist have had all the |
trouble; it will be a refreshing and |
effective change to crack the man
who boozes a few.-Anthony Republi- |
can.

Much Money Required to Re-
pair Damage Done by the
Gulf Storm Last Fall.
LITTLE VIXEN GROUNDED
FAMOUS FIGHTER WHICH TOOK
PART IN BATTLE OF SANTIAGO,
is HIGH ON THE BEACH AT
PENSACOLA.
Publishers IressI

Washington. Jan. 9.-Army and
navy authorities have been hard at
work repairing damages 70 ships and
forts, caused by the gulf storm last
fall. They have completed practically
all the estimates necessary as basis
for appropriations for this purpose.
The army probably sustained the
greatest monetary damage, and Quar-
termaster General Humphrey asks
congress for 1894 900 for the recon
struction of Fort Morgan, on Mobile
bay, and Fort Barrancas, at Pensa-
cola He also requests an appropria-
ton of $4,000 10 repair barracks and
quarters at Fort St. Philip, at the
mouth of the Mississippi river In
anticipation of these estimates being
included in one of the deficiency ap.
preparation bills, the quartermaster
department sent experts TO fortihca-
tions needing repair to make requlsi-
ton for necessary materials
Though not so large in pecuniary
sense. the naval losses included sew
eral vessels that were engaged in the
Spanish war. The Gloucester, when,
under Wainwright's command, had
such brilliant history at Santiago
and in Porto Rico. lies far on the
beach at Pensacola. Naval construct
ors secured the use of big dredge
and have almost completed channel
to bring the ship down to deep water.
Several times the engineers had to
abandoI6 PIE line of operations be-
cause the dredge ran into old walls,
docks and other structures of a past
era that were not known to be under
ground. 1t is estimated that 100000
will repair the damage to the ship
She will be launched in the spring
and turned over to the naval militia
as a drill ship.
The Machias is completely under
water. and wreckers trying to raise
her have had hard time. Several
times the ship dropped to the bottom,
after having been partly raised DIV
ers are plugging up holes in her bot
tom and reports are that the Machias
will soon be afioat. when it will be
possible to more closely estimate the
amount required to put her into
shape for active service.
The Isla la Luzon, through col
lisions with several craft blown away
from their moorings during the storm
at Pensacola, was scratched and
@ente,l about the hull, but 1t is found
that she sustained no substantial
damage.
The little Vixen, one of the ships in
the famous battle of Santiago, like the
Gloucester, lies high on the beach at
Pensacola, but the inspectors report
that she is in good shape, having been
thoroughly repaired before the hur-
ricane, and can be floated at an ex-
pense of $4,000 or $4,000. The
PRINCIPAL damage is lost rudder post.
