Mr. Feather was a candidate for office in Seward county. He was too light and took an serial trip up Salt creek. Charles Holder, of the western part of the state, was married hist week. He is a blacksmith and his new wife says he is her iron-holder.

The best political article in the Blue Mound Searchlight last week was a big ad, the head lines reading "Factories all started, mills wide open." This item from the Sterling Bulletin "lays it all over" the faithful old hen. "a two and a half pound sweet potato was laid on our table last week by James Zerbe." Burglars broke into nearly every store in Greeley last week. That they were old hands at the business was conclusively proven by the fact that they passed the Graphic office by. Burns, out in Marion county, wants a drug store, and as the home paper carries eight columns and a half of advertisements we conclude there is a good opening for a pill mixer. George K.

We know aU'about the law against shooting quail, but in Ilolton they arrested some fellows for soooting craps, last week, and put them in jail, too.

By and by the great plain people will have no privileges at all. They have conundrum parties at Louisburg. We would like, them to tell us what's going to happen to the Louisburg young man who comes over here and "sets up" with one of our girls, and the next day goes home and buys oysters for his solid girl at home.

Atchison, Marion and Lane counties threaten to secede from the rest of the state, because they gave republican majorities. If the democrats get any of Governor Leedy's pie you may rest assured it will be of the dried apple variety. The populists will get all of the cream. President Cleveland has laid down the gun and taken up the ax. The political heads of public officers who have been active in the late campaign are in danger.

Topeka Mail and Breeze To show what advertising will do for a man, it is said that Cy Leland is worth and has never left his ad out of the Troy Chief for a "single week for twenty The sinking of the battle ship "Texas" In a calm harbor only shows how unscrupulous contractors will swindle the government.

They should be punished as quickly as the man steals a horse. The Ottawa Times devotes several lines of valuable space, to inform its readers that a citizen has a bad cold.

At a meeting of the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association at Topeka last week, the ladies decided to go to work in earnest and capture Kansas.

We know of a couple of fellows in this town who are anxious to be captured. Plain Frank Jones started from Lane last week on a bicycle bound for Mexico. The remarkable thing about Jones is that he does not claim to represent a metropolitan newspaper nor does he claim to be going on a 10,000 wager. His name deserves a place in history. Osawatomie may not be able to prove relationship with the new president or governor, but we've got a little milliners' trimmer whose 'sister used to take Will White (the man who wrote "What's the matter with by the ears and kiss him goodby, years before he got married and great and by the way, this will explain to Mr.

Topeka Mail and Breeze The fight on the present Santa Fe managpment, which was begun at Oskaloosa a week ago, has been transferred to the United States district court, before Judge Foster, and will not be heard for some time. It is generally understood that this suit was brought by the crowd who got left on the reorganization a year ago. It is the "outs" against the "ins" and may prove to be a lively fight. A Kansas editor may be excused for giving vent to his feelings regarding Kansas but no doggoned outsider has any business kicking at the state and calling its citizens cracked-brained-idiots, and the fellows in Kansas City and New York who ore saying mean things about Kansas are going to get into trouble if they persist in it.

You Fred Vandergift, and you Will Taylor, and you, Frank Montgomery double dare you across the state line any day. A foot ball player was killed while playing the game at Lawrence last week. If football was a professional game, there would probably be a law against it and there should bo anyway.

The first report of the chief fire warden of Minnesota, an officer appointed under an act passed last year, has been published, and contains many statements of interest. As part of the precautionary measures adopted, about 18,000 placards, warning against kindling fires in forest or prairie, were distributed. Twenty-seven fires in forest regions, including those in brush land and marshes, are reported. They burned over an aggregate area of 8,265 acres, and did damage to he amount of $3,125. The wet weather of last year greatly reduced the losses.

In the prairie region of the western side of the state, dry, windy conditions were conducive to the spreading of fire, during the period from August to November, and 105 field and prairie fires occurred; burning over about 73,000 acres, and causing a damage of $34,277. In the same territory 'a 1894 about 400,000 acres were burned over. The local wardens controlled and extinguished many fires. The state warden has consulted manufacturers of locomotives in the United States and England with reference to the best spark arrester. It is learned that no such device is wholly efficient, as fine sparks are always likely to escape.

It is of prime importance that all such devices should be kept in good condition. The warden says that the 7,000 Chippewa Indians who are scattered throughout Minnesota forests, are more careful about extinguishing their forest fires than white people. The greater number of fires are caused by locomotive sparks, but the careless farmer, burning over fields before plowing, and thrashing machines are also a great source of danger. It is the business of the wardens to prevent as well as to extinguish fires. The dissemination of forestry sentiment is regarded as an excellent method of helping on tho work.

In the fjsrest region of Minnesota tie government still holds over 6,000,000 acres of public land. These are continually visited by home seekers, timber "cruisers" and hunters. The warden remarks that "when people become educated as to the true economic value of forests and to a comprehension of the danger and damage from forest fires, every man and boy who requents the woods will be a voluntary v'atchman to guard against suh fires," About 12,000 workmen are employed in the logging industry of Minnesota. It is estimated that the total amount Oi1 white pine standing is 14.424,000,000 feet, and of red or Norway pine, 75,000 feet In 23 counties there are acres of natural forest, and in the whole state there are 11,890,000 acres of natural forest, not including mere brush and swamp land. The annual cut of pine for each of the past three years is estimated at 1,500,000 feet.

The consumption of mercantile hard wood lumber in Minnesota is estimated at 100,000,000 annually. The report points out the economic and hygienic importance of perpetuating the forests. Indianapolis News. WILL NOT SUBMITTO DICTATION Privileges of the Bank of France Which Are Jealously Guarded. Hie subject of renewing the privileges of the Bank of France will shortly come up for discussion in the chamber, after having been in abeyance since 1S92, when the senate approved a bill for the purpose.

The bill lias not since been modified and the provisions ineluded in it will, it is thought, be adopted without material alteration. One of them, which was to empower the bank to increase its note issue from 3,500,000,000 francs to 4,000,000,000, was passed as far back as 1893. The charter expires on. December 31, 1S97, and the proposal is to extend it for a period of 20 years from that date in consideration of the bank making certain concessions to the state-. Among these concessions is one by which the bank is to forego all future interest on the government debt, francs, and not to demand repayment of the capital so long as the charter is in force.

The bank is to undertake the service of the national debt and. transact other business for the treasury, both at the head office and branches, free of charge, and make an annual payment to the latter of franes during the first year bf the currency of the new charter and 000 francs per annum subsequently. It is to open several new branches and make advances to agricultural cooperative societies. It is not improbable that an effort will be made to convert the bank into a state institution, but such a project does not command support either in financial or ministerial circles, and is not in tho least degree likely to meet with success.

England's Kulers. Kings have governed England for 09S years, queens for 120, and protectors for 11 years. The average reign of the kings has been 23'2 years, of the queens 30 years, the average reign of all the sovereigns being between 23 and 24 years. The average reign of the kings of the Angevin dynasty 30 years-is greater than that of any other reigning family, although the average reign 01 the house of Brunswick very nearly approaches it. The average of the Yorkist kings eight years is the least of all.

Four sovereigns of England have been of the Norman dynasty, and reigned 83 years; eight were Angevins, or I'lantagenels, and reigned 245 years; three were of the house of Lancaster, and reigned C2 years; three of that of York, and reigned 21 years; five were Tudors, and reigned 99 years, and there have been six sovereigns of the house of Brunswick, which has existed now for 181 years.

Nearly a Score of Distinct Races Mar lie Found in the Nation.

Hungary is the basin of the Danube and its tributaries, "bounded in a semicircle by the Carpathian mountains. No other country of equal extent possesses the same physical unity. With very few exceptions, all rivers of Hungary flow, directly or indirectly, into the Danube, and in prehistoric times Hungary was, indeed, an immense lake, which, by crumbling masses from the Carpathians, has in the course of untold centuries been leveled up to a vast plain. This physical self-contented-iiess of the country designated it, as it were, for a proud and self-contented nation. Legion was the number of tribes and peoples pouring into Hungary through the passes of the north or the plains of the south from the time of Alexander of Macedon to that of Alfred of England.

Gepides and Goths, Herules and Alans, Huns and Moravians, Servians and Ruthenians, and very many more land-seeking tribes, essayed to court the love of the inclyta Hungaria. The Magyars alone, a Finnish Ugrian tribe, probably from central Asia, entering by the pass of Yereczke, in the northeastCarpathians, 3,000 years ago, have been able towed themselves in good and lasting marriage to the country abounding in the treasures of a fertile soil, a varied surface and a benign climate. They alone founded a true nationality and a genuine state. The peoples inhabiting Hungary before the arrival of the Magyars were not so much conquered as relegated by them. They were, and always remained, what the stately law term of the Hungarian tripartitum (code of law) called them regnicoloe, dwellers, not citizens proper.

As physically, so nationally, Hungary has always been a unit, not a union. Not every aggregate of people speaking the same language is a nation. True, from what we are pleased to call the ethnographic point of view, Hungary offers indeed a most picturesque spectacle of endless varieties of speech, costume, customs and folk-lore. There are towns in Hungary, and small towns, too, where from seven to ten idems are constantly being used. On the Galician frontier there is in a lovely valley the old town of Eperjes.

The number of its nhabitants does not exceed 12,000. To this day the good people of Eperjes are in the habit of talking or being talked to in six different languages and several dialects. An ordinary household will include a Slovak man servant.aHungarian coachman, a German cook and a Polish chambermaid. What is still more remarkable, each layer of society will tenaciously cling to its own language for centuries. A mile or two from Eperjes there are the famous salt mines of Saros.

The Low Frisians, who were called there as settlers by the Hungarian kings over 500 "years ago, still preserve their old Germanic dsalect intact to the present day. The same phenomenon of polygot communities may be found in very many other towns of Hungary. Nineteenth Century. DOGS TRAIN ONE ANOTHER. Learn Faster Under the Tutelage, of Their Own Species Than by Man's Aid.

We all know how few and far between the good clogs are, whether good, bad or indifferent trainers have had them in hand. Not one out of a hundred is so well trained that he has sense of his own. It may be possible that we may be training our hunting dogs wrong. Those dogs that I trained perfectly had no sense of their own, and those that I half trained -had more sense, were better bird finders, but each of them had some canine idiosyncrasy that brought him down below the level of the desirable dog. The truth of the matter is that training deadens the dog's mind.

It becomes automatic, and when a novel dilemma arises it has no reasoning faculties with which to meet the emergency. I am half inclined to believe that the vay to train a clog is to let him learn from his superiors that is, from the best dogs possible. This is a slower process, but it excludes any sort of human interference. So far as my experience and observation have gone, it takes at least two years for an old dog to train or teach a young one. He learns in this manner to point, back, retrieve and range, and no other dog can range like the self-taught or dog-taught ranger.

He goes like the wind and hunts for birds every minute, with an eye single to find them. To have a man teach a dog is like having a phonograph teach a child. The best dogs for hunting purposes are those which are thinkers. Up in the Adirondack mountains pups are taught to run deer by turning them loose with an old hound. An old hunter likes to show the youngsters how to handle a gun accurately and carefully.

The old hound delights in an opportunity to show the young ones how to find and follow a cold, warm or hot trail. There are dog-taught hounds in the Adirondacks that will follow a trail ns well as any in the world. Forest and Stream. Female missionaries in Uganda. A missionary at Uganda, Africa, re ferring to the omen recently sent out to that post by the Church Missionary society, says: "Their arrival caused great joy to the natives, especially to the women, and no small amount of comment.

The waists of the English ladies attracted great attention. The natives instantly gave the ladies the name of The king asked various cool questions how old they were, etc. and they told him. He then said, noticing their ample sleeves, that they must put nil their food up their sleeves, as it evidently did not go inside." Chicago Inter Ocean.
