It is said that Marion will take a greater boom in the next two years than it ever had in the same length of rime in the past. We hope the "wise heads" are not "off their bases." It is quite evident that such will be the case. New additions are being added, and all together the city is in a very prosperous condition.

The nose is so prominent aud import- ant a feature that people of either sex who happen to have inherited a style liich does not harmonize with the otii- rwise ciassie Iwauty of their count- will be happy to learn that itcau i be altered In shape to as to assume al- most any d. sired expreion.

The re- troii-e. coiuiuoniy called pug, noe may ersuaded to take an squiline cast. the Human may be reduced to the Gre- ian, the crooked made straight, the flat nose raised and elongated, the diminu- ve noi-e enlarged, the nos- narrowed, tiie snub pointed, and the tdebian given a patriciaa look. Ihee triiiisformations are effected by a little machine of French design, which tm- made its inventor fortune and con-1 rred tiie boon of seif-coinplauency up'in thousands who were dissati-fied with the s-vle. or lack of style, of their respective i.a-al ornaments.

The instrument is recommended by a Philadelphia surgeon, who describes it as a small shell in two parts, hinged together. It is made of iron, japauned or enameled. It is iu shape inside that of a perfectly moulded in according to the type of the feat-tiri of the wearer. To apply the in-tru-iu lit, the nose is first bathed in arm wnler. at bedtime, and thoroughly heated and softened.

Then it ia well greased wiih olive oil. glycerine, vaseline, or oily substance. Finally the nose improver is fixed on and the sides clasped together, aud the wearer keeps it on ail taking care in the morning to wash in eold water only. It is a rather painful process at first, but after the first two or thne applications of the iui- i n.ver is no more trouble. In attout a uioirh the nose begins to take its new shape, and at the end of from eight to ten weeks the alteration is said to be p.

(ieueral WoUeley's army of relief ap- ii -ars to I'e in such need of relief itself, i that Graham is to start from Suakiiu, on the Bed Sea, at the eariiest day. and push across the desert in hot haste to Berber, on the Nile, and from there up the river to Gubat, where oisc.ev m-tin force is now entrei-i-liing and hoarding its supply of provisions lor man and beast. General Graham is to have 11 ,500 men, so thai when he reaches the tiie uui'ed it iree will be strong enough to chase EI Mahdi all over the Soudan. General Graham, it will be rcuieud'ered, gained several decided victories over the Arabs n-'ar Suakim last summer, and wished to then push across to Berber and go up to Khartoum, but was suddenly recalled with his troops, aud the Nile route chos-eu by Gen. Wolseley was followed, who evidently intended to win for himself the credit of rescuing Gen.

Gordon. Had it not been for Wolselcy's Irish vanity, lien. Graham would doubtless have reached Khartoum months ago and Gen. Gordon's life would have been saved. Now Graham must take the route he was prohibited from taking just after he he had demoralized Usmau Digna's forces by successive defeats.

The route is said to be without ater for about miles, under a thermometer averaging OTer joO in the shade all day, and camel; noli tl. tn ins must be procured before the expedition can start. Half-way generalship on the part of El Mahdi would cut off Gen. Wolselcy's supplies so as to possibly starve him out before the Suakim expedition can reach him. '1 he Arabs, however, have so far exhibited no geueralship whatever, not even enough to interfere with telegraphic communications between Gubat and Cairo.

That Gen. Wolseley could fight his way down -v'le returi1 Cairo wil1' greatly decimated force, we have uodoubt, nJ his present force is altogether inadequate to conquering the Soudan is equally eertain. An assault upon the A' position near ildemnett was to taken place on Sunday and proba- h'-v resulted in anotner siaugnter ot tne faithful, whose marksmanship seems to be poorer than that of the Chinese. Adopting the Suakim-Berhcr route now, uftr having rejected it while Gordon eould have been saved, is of course a bitter pill for Gen. Wolseley and the Briiish war office, but the former under-: stands better than he did the difficulties of the Nile valley, and has no desire to wait, as Gordou had to, a year for rein-' forcemeuts.

Tiie pctitw tiers vi-dcntly fear that Mr. C'h -veiai .1 i i -posed to regard gold as tiie soli- 1m-i. of an honest legal-ten. Icr currency. The action of the bouse at Topeka, in refusing to liter Normal school r- gi nts in their own defense, is not to fiscubed to political prejudice, becau-e the board happets to be democratic, whiie tiie legislature is republican.

Whatsoever its reason may be, the house is above such partisanship as would induce it to injure one of the leading eduea.iona! lnstitu- tions of the state, in order to bring about a change in the political complexion of the board of regents. The British cabinet is not inclined to accept military assistance from its colonics, probably because it is not desirous of developing their miliary i-pirit beyond the limit of dependence uixm the borne government. New Souih Wales makes the rather alarming offer of landing two batteries of field arti'l ry and a battalion of infantry at Suakhri (within thirty reinforce the Briiish troops who are to proceed from the Led Sea to Berber. I'SITEK states senator-elect Stakfohu, of California, is said to be a strong believer in spiritualism, and a San Francisco dispatch says that Mrs. Stanford aud Mrs.

Senator Kello; returned to the capital yesterday.

His bill to give the State Normal school the remainding twelve sections of ti salt lamis was a tie in the senate twenty for, to twenty against, and wa3 therefore lost. The senator, thereupon, change 1 his vote to no, so as to move a reconsi ieratiou. which he did. and. in this sinpe the bill is still before the senate and may yet I be passed.

To withhold these lew sec- tions from the Normal is hardly credit- able, to those members who are supposed to take a broad view of questions affect- ing the best interests of suite. But human nature, at best, is selfish and short sighted. Mb. Francis K. Fast, secretary of i the Central American Syndicate com- pany, and who has traveled extensively through Central America, says the ruins of works erected thereby the I ncas whose i dynasties had expired prior to the arrival of Corter, show wonderful architectural skill.

Tuk very stringent precautions adopted to prevent another dynamite explosion in the house of parliament show the depth of apprehension which the late explosion there tins cause l.

Ttte speaker of the house alone will have the right of granting tickets of admission to visitors and be win only issoe ncaets to members for their friends, after having received a week's notice, so that in the meantime the antecedents of the proposed visitor can be inquired into. Turnstiles will be erected at the entrances to the galleries and lobbies, and experienced detectives wiil be posted at each turnstile to caref ully scrutinize strangers as they pass. The reporters are so hampered by restrictions applied to that they appeal to their respective papers to refuse to publish parliamentary proceedings until the objectionable regulations are modified. The Austrian legislature was recently brought to terms in the same way, though dynamite was not the pcial question there. ri i i I i I i ,1 i- v.

DBS1 TCTION MADE EASY. Dynamite be bought as rea'lily as gi-upowder i the eastern market or mining distri- s. It is used by thousands of meu every day in the excavation of tunnels, in mining, in quarrying and "ions other useful industries. The iji trket price i 36 to 73 cents per pound. I usual color is that of sawdust with a -ht yellow tinge.

Giant powder, ni-i tr glycerine and other explosives in common me. are but different prepara-! ti as of dynamite. It5 explosive strength i graiied i the proportion sawdust tn which it is usually mixed to ensure safe handling. The highest priced ellJipowder coaili exploded in a room wnh but little damage, when a pound of dynamite would shatter an ordioaiy tnrilding. Its explosive force is mostly so that the way to destroy ti i(1 parliament with it.would beJ i.e the explosion in the attic rather tll in ltie otllar.

A much more explosive than dynamite is of mercury, which costs one per pound, looks like a fine white jeri ami on such slight that it is a very dangerous gutetanee to baodle. A pound of the of mercury would wreck aDy building in which it was ex- i-ded. The ex-e and comparative with which dvnamite can be Manufactured, and the variety of chemicals from which it can be made, aud iu ii dispensibiiity for milling and similar purposes, will eusure its manufacture and extensive use under any circumstances, and it will be about impossible to keep it out of the hands of those ho sire to use it for unlawful purposes. Nevertheless, all practicable safeguards should be thrown around the use of so destructive a compound, aud it should tot tie sold without any care as to who obtains it or wh it use is made of it. TiiE Okouako, West Virginia, case of burying a young lady alive while she was under the influence of morphia, last wi ck, ought to silence some people who pioiess to believe such cases never hap-P n.

I tu aphia 'a is oot the eii to discern tilting from shi of 1 tir.KTia ftLl'l lumtiie Aits. No greater outrage upon individual i iUts wis ever perp trated by a law-nt iking body, ami maintained in a stat-iii" boon, than the psovi-ious id the act lather to special improvements iu ciaes of the second class. All the work ol this character ever done iu this city, and charged up to the abutting property, I.

is simply been robbery of those citi-z- ns who owned the property within the imperfectly defined limits which is di clared by some mythical authority to be subject to the special tax. There lias been none of this work done in this ity, from its organization to the present but what has had connected with it ill- gal proceedings, gigantic steals, extortionate contracts and inferior work. This will probably be the case as long as this outrageous law remains on the statute book. The voters of the city elect iucoinpitcut coiinciimen who don't know the difference, in a legal point of view, between a resolution and an ordi- introduced the latter to amend the former, with a dignified consciousness of possessing a knowledge but little inferior to the highest law-making body in the land. And, for this profound ignorance, the general, as ell as special tax payer, foots the bill in a thousand ways.

Possibly the voters would be a little nioie particular in electing members of the council, and a mayor, too, if one-half of all special improve- taxes were to be paid by the city at large, and the other half by the abrtting property. Then hatever outrage might be inflicted, at least one-half of it would fall on those who are responsible for whatever injustice may be done. Representative Buck is now trving to get a curative act through the legislature to fasten upon the propjrty holders of nearly all Commercial street and Fifth aud Sixth avenues the last outrage in the way of a job of macadamizing, perpetrated upon a large number of our citizens. He is using his position as a representative. without a petition, to legislate in favor of one portion of his constituents to the detriment of the other portion.

In short, having been beaten in the courts, he uses his position as a representative to legislate the opposite parties out of court; nor is this the first time that lawyers, so-called, have sought an el ction to the legislature with a view of securing a change in the statute to meet a case in which they were attorneys. As long as the legislature considers these curative acts, so long will city councils be careless and outrages be perpetrated. Our city affairs have been so mismanaged, general and special taxes are so heavy, that instead of any attempt being made by the nsual meth-j ods of judicious and economic measurcs.it is simply aought.by some leg- extend the corporate lim- what? For no reason but to tax them, that the same mismanagement of city affairs may be continued until it becomes necessary to take in more farms. No one who lives outside the corporate lim- I its wishes to be brought inside, because the burden and annoyances of the city government are so repulsive and oppressive, each one instinctively shrinks back from them as he would from a putrid mass or a great calamity. Those persons living outside have struggled long and hard to remain where they are.

but they must be bi ought in to help the struggling vie- titn of misw.iwrnitwnt tn hoar arilt I 3 -mm porate limits of cities of tbe second class. Let these laws remain as they are. Any attempt to change them should suspicion. In nine cases out of ten, the proposed changes will either cover a fraud or preperate one. TSCTH.

I verUal forty days period of 'm Whiie tiie Catholic ebur ch. and i-xt to it the. Ir r.pi-.-of.i Church, ob-erve Lent wi li it is of 1-1 -years becom ing vi-ry generally attt-iidi to uo-t I'rotestaut denominations, at least, in so far as the cessation of woriuiy amu-e-njents is concerned, the increased ob-er- Scions HT.rl SofliP i I tention to abstinence from meaiS and i The fcishionable world finds a convenient season of rest and recuperation, from an otherwise incessant round of what are to religious ey. 8, unprofitable frivolitiee. That it saves many a constitution from an excessive strai of social pleasures, there is no doubt, and for sanitary reasons alone it is a wise institution.

The Episcopal like tiie Catholic church, feels obligated to observe Lent as a period hich should be devoted to religious services, to some degree at least of fasting and denial cf appetite, and to the consideration of the more serious duties of life. It is the Catholic church, however, which regards Lent as a season of peculiar duty and reverence, and other churches observe it in proportion as they approach the Catholic requirements.These,in so far as fasting is concerned, provide that all days during Lent, with the exception of Sundays, are days of fast and abstinence, but one meal being allowed until after midday aud a small collation in the evening aud a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. Meat may be used once a day, but at tiie principal meal only on Mondays and Thursdays; on Thursdays excepting Holy Thursday, and Saturdays except Saturday in Kmber week aud Holy Saturday. It may be used on Saturdays at the different meals. Fish and eggs are the great substitutes for meat during Lent, aud with eggs at thirty cents per dozen, and of doubtful freshness at that, the majority of people outside of the Catholic church will doubtless continue their customary rations of beefsteak.

In view, however, of the difficulty in most cases of obtaining the money necessary to the purchase of the steak, it is well to remember that abstinence from expensive food is not only a religious duty, but the highest standard of table etiquette, and therefore it may be observed without any danger of impairing the social status of which good living is supposed to be a distinctive feature. It will He very handy, even if it is not very satisfactory, to live on even codfish as a leading table delicacy during the remainder of this protracted winter season, that it is more than probable that a great many people will observe Leut in that fashion, if in no other. A man named Carr, at Macon, Georgia, who hail been accused but not convicted of brutally murdering a farmer named Evans, was taken fatally ill last week and on his death bed he said he was in a perfect hell, and called all who were in the house into is room to hear his dying confession. On their gathering, as he ojtened his lips to tell his story he suddenly expired, carrying his bur-dein conscience with him to that other world where the secrets of lives are reveaied and every soul n.in-d at the bar of eternal judgment Section five of the ain -i i itory prohibition law which the Kan house has adopted in committee of whole, forbids the manufacture ot any intoxicating liquors in this state, with the following proviso. "But nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the making of wine or cider from grapts or apples grown t)v the person making the same." This provision removes one of the objectionable features of the present law, that the farmer is prohibited from utilizing bis fruit crop for family use.

Educational Meeting at llitlertown. Owing to the tardiness of the teachers in appearing, ihe meeting was not called to order until a very late hour. The president appointed Mr. Winters to act as secretary, and the meeting was then opened by a soug by Misses Priest, Bit-ler, Davis aud Wheleu. Following that came a discussion on "A Course of Study for Country Schools," Mr.

Townd-sen introducing the subject. It was the unanimous opinion of the the teachers that some plan of work must be adopted in our common schools. The next exercise was a class recitation in "Eleuienta-ary Seience," by Prof. Kiser. He showed conclusively the practicability of such instruction iu the country school.

Next was a nice song, showing that the Bitler-town school has some music in it. Then came a class recitation in "Numbers. "by Mr. A. C.

Hummer. He had the whole work in arithmetic outlined on the board. And in the class recitation he demon strated the advantage of going from the concrete to the abstract in teaching numbers. The recitations and discussions were instructive aud interesting. Secretart.

Then Lee aud himself went west to the roundhouse, having heard of the wreck, in order to go out with the wrecking train, but missed it and had to walk. Lee going as far as the junction.

On cross-examiniuion it was learned that Sheppard had solicited Col. Whitley to attempt to induce Wright to make a confession. Sheppard told Wright that if he had any confession to make, to make it to a legal authority. Riley Fuuk was put on the stand to prove that Henderson had not gone home but was the companion of Lee and Bethured when they visited his stable. He was absolutely unable to identify Henderson as the stranger who accompanied them, but after vigorous pressing he came to the conclusion that he believed it was his be3l judgment that Henderson was possibly the man.

George Churchill, the officer who arrested three of the prisoners Had several interviews with Wright, once with Higgins, already mentioned. Said then he slept in the shanty. Afterwards toid me he slept at his mother's, and finally said he didn't know where he slept. He also asked me to be merciful as I could. Wright said he was noi ith Bethurem that night.

Also talked with Bethurem. He said he could prove his whereabouts by Wright, Lee and Henderson. Churchill said that he had been working up the case on his own responsibility until asked to arrest the prisoners. Sheppard, Woodson and a man named Lane, were also engagid in the cuse. This closed the examination for the day.

The Lawyers Still Fight, the Auilience still Laiih a nd the Prisoners Mt Still, Awaiting the lHcllin of the Juilge With Continence. The trial of tiie traiu wreckeis, so calied, was resumed Tuesday with, if it be possible, an increased attendance.

It was as g.Mid as a to the crowd, for levity among the lawyers had also increased. The ounv witticisms of gome lKn) pUlillp. for purpose of keeping the crowd iu a roar, consumed a great deal of time for which the state must uav. The testimony of- by was no more satisfactory than on the preceding day. They examined a number of witnesses and the most important facts developed were as follows: i S.

tiou in-day tiiornitir between 8 and 9 o'clock, Bethurem fisked whether there had been a wreck, and wanted full purtii ulars. It wil! be remembered Engineer Yates said Bediureui was one of the first on the ground. Lee also asked particulai 1 ab iut the v. reek and professed to Ik- a detective. John Lane was then called.

John is one of the detectives, so failed, who are working the case up. Notwithstanding his earnest denial it is b. lieved that he is an old detective, for he didn't know much about the case. Wright once said to him that Rickabaugh had given him away, aud at another time "You can do me a great favor by keeping this from theotlicers in town," hut it didn't plainly appear what the "this" was. The railroad lie was then introduced in evidence.

This was one of the most intelligent witnesses the prosecution had Willie Loy then related an interview with Henderson in hich Henderson told substantially tiie sittie story that he afterwards toid to the court. The prosecution rested, and the defense called Seymour Jones of Chase couuty. lie came to Emporia from Strong City with Henderson, about 10 p. m. Went to the Union house.

Left there about 11. Coming down street, met George Williams and weut with him to Baker's, in the southeast part of town, where they stayed for an hour and a half or two hours. Then started for tbe Santa Fe depot. About 2 o'clock, on the other side of the freight depot, they overtook Bethurem, Lee and a stranger. All went to Dick Morgan's, where beer was purchased.

Drank it outside, and stayed around there until the train came. Henderson then left for Strong City. They were that night in no saloon ou Commercial street. Chas. Russell said be went to Fly-mouth on that train, and Henderson wag aboard.

He has a very vivid remembrance of this fact, for II. was going to "lick" him. Jasper Rolling of Strong City said that Henderson was at his livery stable be- fore sunrise on the Sunday morning in question. Oliver Rollins and "Red" MeFarlai.d, made the same statement. John Henderson, one of the defendants wag put on tbe stand and toid the same story of their thereabouts a did Seymour Jones.

He explained tbe language he had used in Cox's saloon gome time after the occurence by saying that be was joking aud that moreover his words had not been correct reported. A few other witnesses were examined, but nothing appearing to be of importance was adduced. rcmtolflc Chances. We understand that the postoHie, Ashler, Chase caunty, has been abandoned and a new oae, named Elco, bag been established at the residence of Hugo ia the soirh-tACsfera part of Lo- uuty, three miles east of Ashler.

For four days of the past week Gilchrist Bros, ran no cabs out of tbe stable on account of the bad road. 11 charged with reckir.g ti west bound freight traiu on the Santa Fe, Sunday, the 5th of October, began Monday morning, in Chas. Fletcher's court, and was continued throughout the day without arriving at a couclusion. Great interest was manifested in the trial by one cf the largest crowds that has ever assembled in the court room, but there was an evident disposition to have exact justice. There was no unseemly bias either for or against the prisoners.

Six lawyers took part in the proceedings, two for the state and four for tbe various defendants. The evidence upon which the state founds its case is merely circumstantial, and as yet is not absolutely convincing. The motive of the crime does plainly appear but tbe state may endeavor to show that the men were in a condition of exhiliration from Cox and Brewer's whisky which made any deviltry possible, and that they attempted a vindication of what they considered tbe wrongs of Joseph Rickabaugh, the employer of two of them, who has had trouble with the railroad company which has in the past few weeks culminated in a law suit. The evidence of Monday stripped of its playful bandinage between tbe lawyers and witnesses aud somewhat of its superfluities, is about as follows Homer Yates, the engineer of the wrecked train, ws the first witness called. He was interrogated fully as to the nature of the accident and described it substantially as it has heretofore appeared in our columns.

A tie had been taken from a pile and thrown on the track. It bad caught in the guard rail of the trestle, aud when the tram caiue along it was thrown off, eleven cars were destroyed and the fireman killed. The first man present after the wreck was a farmer from the neighborhood. Saw Bethurem about the time the wrecking train arrived from Emporia. Noticed him because he had been drinking.

Also saw a man with a big white hat who iiad also been drinking. Billy Iliggins, Santa Fe detective, made au accurate ex imiuatioii of the tracks a'oout file tie pile Monday morning. Found four different tracks. Two led towards Mi s. Weaver's orch ird and lo a gaie anu a watermelon paten just east, nave examined shoes of Wright and Bethurem.

The track would fit their shoes. Saw apples and quinces lyiug near taken irom tne orenara. Also watermelon rinds. Afterwards talked with Harry Wright. He said he had been working at Rickabaugh's.

Left town night of wreck after midnight and slept in a snanty in tne grape paten witn ttenry Rickabaugh. 1 also talked with Bethnr- em. He said he had been at Cox's place until just before the eastern passenger came in. Went up to the depot with Lee Henderson and a stranger. After train went out he and Lee went down towards junction.

Twice afterwards saW Be-thureiu and each time he said he thought he (oul'lgive, information which would lead to the arrest of the guilty parties. Hugh Brown At lime of wreck was foreman of seerjon running live miles east of junction, passed the place before at six o'clock and saw no obstruction. No loose ties were lying arouud. Some gates betweeu Rickabaugh's land and the railroad, had been broken open although I had nailed them shut two or three times before the accident. Had nailed a notice on the gates warning him not to break them open.

W. S. Brewer saw the defendants the night before the wreck at a billiard hall. About 11 o'clock Bethurem and Lee went away. Henderson had left before.

Later, Wright and Bethurem came back and went to the poker rooms where they remained until 1 o'clock. Afterwards Henderson aud Hetlnirem were at our place of business and Henderson said something about bis having wret ked the traiu. Henderson was not drunk or eveu excited with liquor. I afterwards told R. B.

Sheppard, who worked up the case, about it. Smii'iel White was next txamirsed. He I live ni No 3 Exchange street, aud a a teamster. I was iu Cox Brevet's biiliard ball some six days afb i he wreck. I saw Henderson there.

He wis a little full, liny were talking about the wreck and Henderson said he had wrecked the train and would do it again on his way home that night. Mrs. Weaver, who owned the quinces stolen, was then examined, but objections cut her evidence short. Wm. Cox.

At tbe time of the wreck, in connection with Brewer was running a billiard hall, whiskey saloon and poker establishment on South Commercial street. His evidence agreed substantially with Brewer's, as to the time defendants left the poker room the night of the wreck, and further, as he was coming up Commercirl, about 2 a. he met Wright and Bethurem at Dr. Armour's building on the railroad. Just north of there, be met Henderson going towards them.

Spoke to W. and but not to Henderson. Henderson stopped with them. He corroberated the story of Brewer and White as to Henderson's admission later of tbe crime. He first communicated the statement to R.

B. Slieppard, snd made an arrangement by which be (Cox) was to share in the proceeds if conviction resulted. But, unfortunately, they locked him up in in jail for seliing whisky, and he could not keep his part of the contract. Isaac Newell Had a conversation with Bethurem about the wreck just after the attempt was made to wreck the passen ger west of town. Speaking of the at tempt, Bethurem said, "If 1 was in the first one, I wasn't in one, was Ike?" and Ike said, "No, for you were at work by 6 oclock." W.

G. Hackett, brakeman Thinks he saw Wright going east on a box car some three months ago. Wright said be was going to Topeka to give the train wreckers away. Thought be was lying, and fired him. I.

Newell, Jr. Am positive Henderson did not leave on the early train for Cottonwood Falls the morning of the wreck, for I saw him at Funk's livery stable about 9 o'clock. Lee and Bethurem were with him. Riley Funk was present at the time. I'pon cross-examination Newell said that Wm.

Cox was an uncle to him. Ira Wooason In conversation wiib Wright, he (Wriglr) said that he had slept the of the accident in a grape patch. Wright didn't hear anything of (lie wreck. Heard them talking about it next morning at breakfast at Rickabaugh's, but that he did not go near it until evening. Wright had told him and Churchill these things.

Woodson said he was engaged iu working the case up. R. B. Sheppard. Have been engaged ever since the wreck in looking this case up.

Want the reward and am prosecuting witness. Wright told me once that on the night of the wreck be slept in the grape arbor.
