Success to the Solomon Sentinel. JIkciikn. Union Owing to multiplicity of other cares our Skntinkl reports have failed for some time. However, we are neither dead nor yet asleep. Only very busy.

The hurry of harvest Is pretty well over. A splendid crop of wheat and rye bus been reaped, or headed, rather. And (lie outs fust following suit.

Several of our girls attend. The night of the 14th win marked by one of the heaviest storms known in this part of the country a regular "war of elements." It commenced near miduight, aud for several hours It raged with almost unprecedented fury. The wind was not so violent as at former times, but It changed with au alarming rapidity, almost seeming to blow from all quarters at once and for a steady downpour of rain, coutluual roar of thunder, and flashof lightning, we never remembec seeing it surpassed and rarely equalled. The damage from tlie overflow of water ia great. A great number of bridge! are wrecked, and well- curbs, watering-troughs, plauks, pails, line the batiks of every ravins.

I've bad Just one Flirtation, and already It is done. The gentleman was Mr. Harry May; We happened to arrive the self-same day. We got acquainted, had a quiet talk. And, In the evening, took a pleasant walk; He came as an advance guard, so to speak.

I never tried so hard make a mash. And great was my success. He won't get over it for years, I guess. And I was In the height of ecstacy To think how angry Mrs. May would be.

To-night she cnuie, and I was all prepared To show her she was hated. Somewhat scared At what might happen though I was, I own. I let him meet her, at the stage, alone.

A very heavy rain storm occurred here Friday night, accompauied by the most brilliant lightning and heavy thunder we have ever neeii or heard. The thunder was so loud, aud ix-al afr ter peal accompanied each other ho rupidly, that one could almost imagine that he was in Egypt, mid present at the late bombardment of Alexandria by the British fleet. Upon inquiry next, morning we find that sovcral building- in this vicinity, and one in the city were struck. Mr. F.

Carter's house on Third street was struck. shattering thechimuey and tearing oil" a lew shingles. ir. Mattesion's house, a few miles north of Solomon, was struck, and two of the family were knocked down and narrowly escaped death, Mr. George Matteson having the hair burnt from his head.

Mr. Nicholas Samuels' house, just northwest of Solomon, was struck, tearing the chimneys off, and doing other damages to the building, also killiug ten hogs and two steers. We hear of several farmers losing cattle, horses, and The rainfall waa the heaviest that ever occurred here in so short a time; the Buckeye creek overrun its banks, carrying away several small biidges; the valley railroad was washed away in several places, detaining the trains for several hours.

Mr. Stevens was a native of Ohio, was 31i years old, of a jovial disposition, and well though of by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, but no children. Funeral service were held Sunday, at the residence of his brother, the Rev. Mr.

Ed. Stevens was but a few feet away, aud was knocked senseless for a few moments, and as soon as he recovered, about half crazy, made a frantic outcry for help, and attempted to drag his brother home. The outcry being heard, Mr. W. A.

Pontious and Mr. Snyder, also Master Hopkins, hurried to the scene, aud assisted to carry the remains to Mr. Ed. Stevens' house, where people from all parts of the city flocked, ourselves included, hardly believing it possible that George had been killed, for but a few minutes before we were joking with hi in on the street. Doctor Lewi Was in Immediate attendance, ami tried hard to bring Mr.

Stevens to life by inflating his lungs, Mr. T. J. Ed-worthy and others assisting with their breath; but it waa no use. Mr.

Stevens was struck ou the head, and a deep purple red spot was visible 011 the neck, where it had been broken at the third joint. The deceased was a hard worker, and has 200 acres of corn under cultivation, as fine and clear of weeds as auy iu the State. He was universally liked, aud his sad and Instant death, while in robust health, and with such bright prospects, has cast a gloom over our whole community, and many are the expressions of sympathy and sorrow for his esteemed wite.

The prohibition wave has struck Minnesota, and promises to exert an important influence in the politics of that State, or at least in the choice of a legislature. The temperance advocates demand the privilege of voting on an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, and threaten to vote against any candidate for the legislature who dots not pledge himself to favor such amendment.

Minister Lowell, was asked by a fair newspaper correspondent In London reeently to help her to visit Queen Victoria's private apartments at Windsor. His reply was, would not write such things to please people. I would starve first. No, I will not get you a ticket to the Queen's private apartments. It is difficult at best, but I don't believe in such things.

Write about the things you see in the streets, write about anything or everything, but leave upholstery and furniture out." Down in Riley ami Davis counties they are talking up a successor for Senator Burris, who has resigned. Among the gentlemen spoken of in Riley county for the position is Ex-Governor Green. The Senatorial Dis trict could not select an abler man and a more experienced legislator than the Governor. Dickinson has some good Senatorial timber. Burton or Stani' baugh would not be bad.

Geo. Martin might come forward from Da vis county, and undertake to shoulder the Senatorial responsibilites. But this business is none of ours, and we won't speak any further on the sub ject. Salina Journal. Alexander H.

Stephens is well known as a friend of the young, and his name is associated with the education of many a boy struggling for a start in the world. But the extent of his work in this direction is, perhaps, known to few. There are now no less than fourteen young men and women depending on his big heart for their education. For some of these he merely pays the tuition and for othefs all expenses, lo eacn goes a cnecK every month, signed by the nervous hand in the rolling chair. Since he re-entered congress lie lias kept at school about this number of pupils, besides bestow ing with a too liberal hand his means on various other objects.

I suppose Mr. Stevens spends more than his sal ary, and he has only a modest fortune. Atlanta Constitution. We meet many Republicans who say they are disgusted with the talk against political assessments, and de- clare that those who hold the offices should be assessed to support the party that gives them place. We don't believe that; but granting it to be true, and the sentiment of the party, what shall we think of the party that dares not avow it? If the Republicans believe that the civil service should be used to keep them in power why do they not declare themselves to that eflect instead of carefully putting civil service planks that would satisfy even Mr.

Curtis if they were carried out? So long as they continue to denounce partisan use of the spoils in their plat form they have no raason to complain when attention is directed to the fact that their practice gives the lie to their profession. At Newport, R. the liquor fight has taken on a new phase. The alder men resolved some time ago that they would grant no liquor licenses for the present year ana tne new mayor an nounced his determination to enforce the law without fear or favor. His declaration was applauded, but the al dermen were rather inclined to weaken last week, when he sent in a communication stating that the law was being violated, and asking a passage of a resolution appropriating 1,500 to obtain evidence against the sellers of liquor.

However, the city of Solons, after a little backing and filling, came to time, and the appropriation was made. That looks like business. The usual way ia to be lavish with laws and resolutions, and then throw all possible obstacles in the way of securing convictions and cover with abuse all who endeavor to colleet evidence. The Newport way is much better than that, and is worthy of imitation. The action of Leavenworth with her saloon element shows that it is only too true that the saloon-keepers are for St.

John. He has not enforced the law and he never will. Why should he? Every inducement is held out to him not to seek its enforcement by the temperance people. So long as it is not enforced he can stand upon the plea that he must be kept in office until he succeeds. We can't swap horses in the middle of the stream, so the saint will keep in the middle of the stream.

If the law is enforced then all of his thunder is gone and he knows it. He can satisfy the temper ance people by making a great outcry against saloons. But a great outcry won't close a single saloon.

The politicians of Leavenworth have spok en, now let us hear from the people lopeka Commonwealth. The Independent Republican organ ization is credited by the Pennsylvania independent journals with having al ready scored a substantial victory for its cause, by forcing a complete transformation of the Democratic organization from machine stupidity to enlightened and positive progress in the line of reform a victory that assures the absolute triumph of its principles whether it shall elect its ticket or fail iu the race." The Philadelphia Times says: "This is au achievement that be longs to the Independent Republican movement. But for its bold and advanced deliverance for the positive regeneration of our political system, there would be two regulation machine tickets in the field to-day; and between the two the Republican majority of the State would prefer the ills it has rather than fly to machine Democratic ills that it knows not of. But the Independent Republicans turned from the intolerable rule of spoilsmen to assert public integrity and individual manhood as the jewels of municipal, state, and national government and the Democracy was compelled to advance to the front Hue of reform, or suffer merited and hopeless It was the Democratic harvesting of the field fallowed by Republican independence, and whether Stewart or Pattisoh shall be elected Governor, the regeneration of our political system in Pennsylvania will be fully LOCAL.
