we go to press we learn that W. Fields had very miMeriouslv lei lor parts unknown on Wednesday itfter-iioon lje teok the o'clock train for tort Scott, and from there he wrote a letter to Wm.

The citizens after Inrjulry found tho story to be au April Fool's day boaic, and tho matter was dropped.

It seems, however, that tho Kansas exchanges were not so sharp in finding out tho Joko, and the article was widely published, and reached ihoeyos of W. Bartels, deputy United States collector, of Iola, Kansas, who put in an appearance in tho oty Monday afternoon, to ferret out the supposed violators ot tho federal low. Upon ilouriilng the facts ho determined to John Hogarth Loziar, the Fighting Chaplain, spoke to a lino audience at the opera house Tuesday niflfht and for nearly two hours and a half held their undivided and nger attention. His entertainment was a mixture 'of army reminiscences, stories, songs and recitations "Hash" ho called it-and whilo it appealed particularly to the old soldiers it was equally satisfactory, to judge by the applause, all "other classes. It would be hard to enter into details, even if we had the space, but when it is said that tho audience sat for two hours and a half and listened to a man.

without signs of weariness, it is unnecessary to discuss the details of the entertainment he furnished.

Later developments reveal th fact that he went from Job direct to niotmii'gtod, Indiana, when he met a woman bv the name 'of, Inn. tiie George, from Uarrmlsbnrg, with whom previous iiiTwigemenls had hoen made for an elopement; and 'that from Bloomingtou tho pair tU tnun for the south.

If you want a fine roast, steak or broil, Last Sunday morning a bran new ten-pound boy put in his appearance at the residence of Henry Steyer, and of all the happy men ever seen about our city Henry was the happiest. When Henry first saw the little stranger he raised himself up to his full height and expressed his thoughts in tho following poetical stylo: Welcome, little stranger. Thou hast made two hearts ylad, Thou art onmpar.v for tuy mother Ami a plaything for thy dad. From the depths of our heart Do we welcome our charge: Our jovs to increase And our ploaaurw enlarge. fo much like your old pa.

Its. tm, Vmil ffp brivr anotu-i take legal action against tho perpetrators of the hoax, and V.ns consulted legal talent with that end itt view. Ai Colonel H.C.Whitney proprietor if tho Hotel Cooltclge, was the of tho article, a good deal of fun Is ex pected out of tho matter. The above special from Emporia ap.

peared in the Kansas City Journal of Tuesday and about as untruthful as the "April report of the distillery. Tho facts in the chkc are these. A reporter of the Daily Republican con ceived the idea that it would be a good joke to publish a report that au illicit distillery had been discovered near Emporia, and that a large amount of liquor was supposed to bo secreted on the premises, in order to get a number of persons from the city to go out and in. vestigate the matter. The scheme worked very well so far as was intend, od, but it so happened that the piipjr containing the article tell into the hands of Elwood Sharp, a deputy revenue collector, who at once notified W.

L. Battels hi fact sent him a copy of the article. And as Emporia is in W. L. Barrels territory, he at once proceeded to the scene of the supposed distillery.

As soon as lie arrived at Emporia he ascertained that the report was simply an "April Fool" joke. So far as the local press of the slato beitg slow to "catch on" that is all a hoax, a's the ai ticie was rot copied in a single paper before Mr. Cartels was on the ground to invest -gale the matter, and as for bringing suit or taking any legal action against the writer of the Mr. Bartels has never entertained a thought of the kind. This little joke has fully demonstrated the fact however, that where there is a suspicion of a violation of the revenue Jaws, there you will firm a Democratic federal officer to "sift" the thing to the bottom.

Mr. Bartels says, however, that if he had known the expose of the distillery had been made tlu'ough a Republican paper, that he should have paid no attention to it. It is the houses that advertise that flourish. If you don't believe it look around you. Business men understand this and hence, in live towns, ilia newspaper is considered indispensible and is well sustained.

On this point of advertising the Chicago Inter-Ocean speaks some Avords.f wisdatn. It says, "Business men in the thriving young cities of the west do not overestimate theben-cfits of judicious advertising. Every good advertiser in a town is more or less a benefactor of the whole people. It is not an unl'requent occurence for business men to come to the Inter-Ocean exchange room or send for exchanges, for the sole purpose of studying the life and enterprise of the various marts of trade, which they judge by the advertising columns of the local press. It is just such entbrprisiiigand business men who have built up Chicago and they will benefit a community wherever they are fou nd.

What we mean by ud icious advertising, is not to blow or bluster, but facts, which save buyers both time and money. In these days a city without advertisers is dead and will stay dead no matter what its wealth and resources may be." In reply to numerous inquiries we will say that the new liquor law takes effect March 30th. But persons who are selling under unexpired permits, can sell under them uutil they expire, provided they do not run longer than the first of May. No old permits are good after that date. But all persons selling under old permits after March 30th, must comply with the new law in every other respect.

Under the new law the druggist must administer the oath to the applicant and deliver the liquor in full view of the front door. If there are no loungers about tho front door, to see the operation, tha druggist must send a boy around town with a bell, to collect a crowd, and the applicant must wait until the congregation is assembled. The next legislature will amend the law so as to require that the cermony be opened with singing and prayer. Troy Chief. Some of the members of the Mikado company which appeared at the opera bouse Monday night engaged in a general row after the performance, and the result was the arrest of one or two of the parties.

The case was brought before Judge Walters in the "still small hours of the night," but a compromise was affected and all parties went on their way rejoicing. We did not learn just what the trouble and alleged "fraud" was at tho bottom of theaffai''.

From half a dozen papers. Kansas is a slice of the jucicst sido of the earth. A few years ago it was a wilderness To-day it is the garden cf the world, redolent with the fragrance of tho orchard and vintage' teeming with the homos of thrifty with the vim and vigor of progress aud mellow with the bloom of almost perpetual harvest.

Last year Kansas sent to the east.from her overflowing storehouses a golden stream of grain; filled hundreds of their empty trains with the choicest of her herds and standing on the threshold of this year's bounty, she sends greeting and welcome to half a million of their sous who would try their fortunes on her unbroken praries. What Kansas will be fifty years hence is beyond the comprehension of people now living. Chicago Journal. Now is a good time to remove that ugly pile of lubbish which has been accumulating in your back yard nil winter; also a good time to remove tho pile of ashes, old fruit cans, discarded shoes beer bottles, fish heads, dead cats and so forth, that you have deposited in the alley at the rear of your lot. The alley will look better if you will take these away, and the air will also smell sweeter and your family will not be troubled so much with diptheria and typhoid fever, and the undertaker, with a screw driver in his pocket, will not have an occasion to visit your house so often.

You may think we are trying to fool you, but we emphasize the fact that cleanliness is a real good thing, and you need not to be ashamed to shake hands with it. Kellar Swearingen has started an Independent paper at the little town of Gridley, in Coffey county. For the past three or four years Keller has been a resident of Missouri, and upon return ing too his old home, he finds a prohibi tion law in full force, and the first thing lie does is to examine some of the fea tures of the new Muray bill, which he sums up in his first issue as follows: Under the new Murray law, to be a Kansas druggist and dispenso intoxicating liqucs, a man must bo frea born, of lawful age and of sound mind, at least Ave feet and seven Inches in. beighth, weigh 150 pounds, bo able to wolk six miles an hour, be a good waltzer, a church member and a prohibitionist, and neither smoke, chew or drink: and furthermore, must be solid with at least twenty-five fomalej in the county in which he wishes to do business. The Democrat is far "below par" this week, but this is only because we had to spend so much time moving our office.

Most country papers miss anis-sue when they move. But the Democrat will always attempt to visit its patrons once every week, although it may not always contain all the local news.
