Correspondents. Wo have never seen wore pleasant weather for the time of the The Jamestown New Era docs not how up at this olllce. Wha t's up, M.

There is a presumption, that the populists of Kansas will have a Lease Ferkiu's seat in the United States Senate The Jewell County News has.

It will coutinue to advocate reform. The ex-union soldiersof the people's are organizing of the "Hoys in Blue of America." The organization is said to be non-partisan. But no doubt it will soon he called a populist machine just as the G. A. is called a republican machine.

Many an eye was directed toward the starry firmament last Sunday iight anxiously looking for the approaching comet, it is said that some of the young scientists of our city went so far as to engage type writers to assist them in taking and record! ug observations till very late aour. A bright little girl said a few days, ago, "We are all prohibitionists at our house, but we do not do any harm or good J' When asked to explain thi state of things, she said. 'Mother is a prohibitionist and cannot vote for father is a-prohibitionist and wont vote for it; so it don't do. anybody any good or. anybody ry harm." That little girl, was a philosopher.

Farmer's Wile. When John Burners went back to Indiana just before the last election aged mother took him to task for ioming back: there crowing for Weaver, saying that even her roosters knew better and were crowing for Cleveland just as they did in 1884.. John says her roosters were hatched and kept in Indiana and of course didn't know any better; but if they had come to Kansas and seen what he had seen they would have gone back, (lowing for Weaver like her sou did. The democratic party will lack a good- deal of having full control of the national government during the next four years commencing the 4th of next March. That party will not.

have control of the Senate. The admission of Arizona and New Mexico, would perhaps give, the democrats four more Senators with, the casting vote of the would enable them to. control the Senate "a eonsumation -devoutly wished for" by the democratic pariy. rmt not at all likely to. happen even if there is an extra of.

3 was also tied up in the barn and fed com meal and fodder and prairie hay. Lot No, 4, was likewise tied up in the barn, and fed a mixture of corn meal, oil uveal, bran, and shorts and fodder and hay. For six months commencing Nov ember 30th all the feed both grain and foddei was weighed to each steer and a record kept, All the steers wore weighed every Monday. The price of the corn fed was 47 cents per hundred; corn meal, 45; shorts, 54; bran, 40; oil meal, tame hay, praiiie hay, 17J; fodder, 122l. At the end of six rcnnths lot No.

1 had gained .1,330 pounds and was sold for $4. 10 per hundred at a loss on the lot of 837.21. Lot No. 2 gained 1,33.0 pounds, and was sold for $4.10 per hundred at a loss of $17,48. Lot No.

3 gained 1,300 pounds and was sold for Si. 10 per hundred at a hiss on the lot of $17.97. Lot No. 4 gained 2,130 pounds and was sold at $1.20 per hundred at a loss on the lot of $26.34, In this account neither the expense of feeding nor the profit derived from the hogs following the steers were taken into consideration, Now when experts in feeding and handling, cattle expend $790 for cattle and. $54.9.84 more in getting them ready for the market and then lose $98 besides the work of feeding them is it any wonder so many farmers run behind when they attempt to feed cattle.

T. Elbert Wheeler, a coal merchant living at 728 South Eighth street, A r-mourdaie, Kansas, a man prominent in church and secret society circles, died at I o'clock Saturday morning under most remarkable circumstances. Scientists are much mystified thereby. Wheeler's death caaiy close upon almost incessant prayers that he might die. His daughter, Ora, aged two years, died about three weeks ago.

lie had been in a melan choly mood since the death his daughter and prayed to die everyday He was much attached to his daugl; ter and told his wife ha wanted to go to her. Mr. Wheeler was 28 years old. lie had been married almost throe years. The union resulted in two children being born.

Ora. who died three weeks ago. was the eider. A baby live weeks old is the other. Wheeler was at his office during tin-usual houTi! yesterday and appeared as well as common.

lie fore retiring he read a chapter from the Bible and kneeling at the bedsid'1, praying again, a desire, to be with hisihtledaughtor. At lo'clock Mrs. Wheeler was awakened by her bns- band, who was irrnaninir t.rvimr to raisH his bod. She thought (be was suffering from. nightmare and besan slia kirns him in him iShe.

They ought Le iwiiamed lob ask- ing for i-hv jMi office j. coming to see, hear, compare and size up the teachers who are instructing their children, who are costing them so much money that is making their taxes so high. The teachers and their work as well as the politicians and their work, as well as the preachers and their work, have to stand the test ot the people's criticisms.

While it is evident that the teachers of Jewell county and their work will compare favorably with the teachers of any other county and their work, with the politicians and their work, with the preachers and their work, with the members of any other profession and their work, ftill there is as much room for improvement the teachers as there is in the politicians or the preachers. We are proud of our teachers, proud of our schools, proud of our school system, but still wo know there are a great many school boys throughout the country who are more expert with the revolver than with the pen oftener knocking out the eye of a jack rabbit than dotting the correcUy. There are some who can extract the juice from two or three plugs of navy quicker and easier than they can extract the square or cube root of as many figures. There are some who better know the exact track where the rabbits run and the spot where the quails nest than. they know the course pursued by Columbus or where the coal, lead, zinct silver and gold mines are located.

There are some who co. ne nearer swearing a blue streak than conjugating the verb. There are others who. know more about dime novels and old Sleuth, the detective, than they know about English literature and Abraham Lin coln. Then there are still others who can come nearer imitating the yell of the Modocs and the war whoop of the Cheyennes than they can of imitating the oratory of Talmage or Bob Ingersoll.

There are too many school girls who are more at home in the ball room than in the school room, who know more about the fashion department or Demorest's Magazine or the Delineator than the departments the government, who are more coa-. versa the tea table gossip, fads of society and the latest novel than with the current events or recent dis-covei ies ot science, who are more in toresied in the coming young man than the corning Congress, and who would be much butler prepared, to discuss the proposition that "blondes shoulu wear pink roses and brunettes red roses" than to discuss the propo-. sition that "Uryant was more to the world than was Lowell." Now whether the fault is ill the parents, teachers, schools, or school system the desideratum is that the teachers diseovei and make use of adequate means of reaching thess boys and girls and refining and purifying their intellects assisting them to rbe to higher and higher objects. When this is done there will come forth from our schools more vigorous girls and boy abetter qual'fled to appreciate and accomplish all that is truly great, and to bring forth fruits of universal usefulness. iv Gould is not-did as reported but was ver sick November 30..
