"A bout all years ago a prominent cittaen of t'nlon named Willis Hhilf went one day to North Fowder, a small town in naer county, to bur wheat, stopping' at the hotel, disappeared on the evening of nit arrival, and has never been seen since. Three men, the hotelkeeper named Boiler, ur iibbctts and Uave wisgins, were tried for murdering him,' but were ac quitted for lack of evidence. His body was never found. A Montana man who patted through Union lately aays that a man wta hanged in that state recently and before his death confessed that he was Dr Tlbbetts, and that he killed Skiff and sunk his body In Powder river. He said he did the deed aloue, Behler and Wiggins being Innocent. Not Stemn.

Wo have the same peopo by races, but we are not the tamo in habits ; you have an esnreaslon of free thought which ia not used in this country. our people aay what they think and aa they plcaso on all subjects on the afreets, or anywhere that is proper.

I attribute this reservation to the fact that the people are walled In on the west ; by the ocean and the barbArlsm of As n on the east by the mountain ranges and in teen hundred miles ol tftge-brush and alkalie desert: being thus Isolated for years they have acquired the habit of thinking for themselves and keeping their thoughts to thcmaolvea. No one, to my Knowledge, takes time to talk Col i tics or religion, except there should a a political meeting, and they aro far neiween, or in me cnurunei or religious meetings. There are plenty of churches hurts of every denomination. U the too pl are not good it is not fur want of churches ; but they don't talk religion or pontics on tne streets, as they do In Iowa, hence we know nothing of their liberality or mental capacity on these lints.

Pears! it would make you wonder whea they coive from to see the trees loaded with them, and the most of them at large .a a cream-pitcher. Hut the hand somest of all their fruit is the Royal Ann cherry, as large as an Iowa plum, gold and red color. Well, you would wish your sense of taste, your throat and gas tronomic apparatus, was as long as the Union Pacific railroad that you iniitht taste them all the way. Yen, yea; a handful of these Hoy a I Ann cherries is a whole peach orchard and watermelon alcn all In one. All other kinds of fruit n the same proportion.

There Is no reason why a single child life should be destroyed by dtpiherla If parents only watched the health of their Mule ones and physclans knew thrlt butl nrt."ald Dr Litton II Mongomtn, an Inspector of the Chicago health depart ment, lo a reporter for Ihe Timti, am not afraid lo say," continued the doctor, '(hat sny f hyiclnn who Is familiar with the latest discoveries In medical science can cure any cane cf diphtheria when the patient I not already In a dying condition," This statement Is directly opposite to the popular Idea of the character of the dread dlteate, which it generally supposed to be necetsarlly fatal. The scene, too often witnessed by sympathising neighborhoods, of whole families of little ones striken down In drain by the malignant pestilence, hat emphasised this opinion on the pstt of the public. "There should be no excuse," tald Dr Montgomery, "for the announcment to often teen In I he ne wspapt rt that diphtheria Is epidemic In some town, .and that the schools have been closed In consequence, and that so many dcatha have resulted. Diphtheria can be cured by a 10-year-old child If it knew when to apply Ihe remedy. Diphtheria Is caused mainly by pover ty and concomitants, by unventllated, filthy lodging, scanty clothing, want of sufficient nutrlllous food, and sometimes hercdlisry and predisposing physical con ditions. The disease prevail most between the age ot J and 10 years, atthough I haveeen U In infants and In persons of middle sge. A case will usually run ita course In eight to ten days, but death may occur at any time until Ihe false membrane In Ihe throat has been entirely cast out "The period of Incubation Is generally a few days; possibly the diphtheria poison may remain dormant In the system for several weeks, until called Into acl'.vlty by avotfng circumstances. Its Invasion Is geneially occult and Insidious slight fe ver, drowsiness, .general discomfort, a little languor, loss of appetite, prostration diarrhea, chills, pallor, tickling cough, husky voice, 0 hoarseness often usher In diphtheria. These symptom assist in foi uilng a diagnosis when caiefully studied In conjunction with one another and with surrounding circumstances The disease may suddenly develop, without Ihe slight est warning, by an attack of difficult breathing. And on looking Into the throat we may find a fte membrane cover ing the tonsils and pharynx and ex tended Into the air rassage so at danger ously to obstruct the pisssge of sir Into tie lung and excite spasms of difficult respiration. There ia frequently enlarge -mcnt of the gtsnd ot the neck, and the throat is considerably saellcd. ' "When parents notice any of these eymp. torn the proper thing to do It to summon a physician at ence. Neglect or delay Is almost fatal. No chances should be taken. W hat seems to be only a 'sore throat' may be dlphtliei la Incubation . Of coui te there are several remedies used by physicians, and most of these would be dangerous in the extreme If handled by a layman. There Is chtorste of potash, tincture of Iron, bichloride of mercury ,snd other medicines Mill no one but a physician should deal with. Put there Is a remedy which I ell-nigh a specific for diphtheria at al most any stage of the dlscate and which, as I said, eta be admlalttered with perfect safety by a to-year-old child. This great remedy Is sulphur. If any parent should find his child manifesting the symptons of diphtheria let him get a tmall quantity of powdered tulphur.known generally a flour of sulphur. A little of this can be placed In a quill and blown by the father or mother down Into the child' throat. This should be revetted If nsc- eissry. The sulphur kills the poison get ms of the disease and cause the false membrane to fall off. The sulphur Is per fectly harmlest, and If the child thould not have diphtheria It will not hurt It. Another way to administer the sulphur remedy It to place a small quantity of It in a saucer and set fire ta It. It will not explode. Over the burning sulphur place common glass lamp-chlmncy. Cover this for a moment until the chimney Is fitted with sulphurous add gas gener atcd by the decomposing sulphur, then hold the child's open mouth and nose over the lamp-chimney that it may lahale the sulphurous gss. This I an almost in fallible cure for diphtheria . Of course the child must not be held too long over the gas or It would (suffocate. Let It Inhale the gat a moment and then breatbe the fresh air.

Prepotterousos it may sound, it It never, thclct true that some of the most untcru -putout republicans are actually ttrlontly entertaining the Idea of stealing the teat In the senate to hI.Ii.Ii Hon. Calvin 8 Brlce was elected by the legislature of Ohio. As yet this movement Is confined to sound ing republican senators to ascertain If they wlil yote to reject Senator Brlce on the ground that he is not a citizen of Ohio. Thote engdged In this despicable work tuppose that ll it s secret, and if upon a count of nosrt, they find that they can not control though votes to tuccecd In the barefaced thct, It will not be tpenly at tempted. Fortunately the republican ma jority in the senate It a tmall one, and tome of the republican tenatort are hon orable enough and independent enough to do what they believe to be tight, even to the extent of def vine a republican cau cus. It Is these men that will prevent thlt political crime, If it I prevented. It Is not known whsl Mr Harrison thinks, but It Is claimed that Secretary Foster It In favor of it, and that he Is aiding In sounding the senatoit at they arrive here, ll It difficult to believe that the republican! in the senate, much at they would like to add one more vote to their rapidly waning majority, will retort to tuch a method of doing It. Still. one mutt have a very short memory' who who will dare to predict to a cettalnty that It will not be done. But the prediction may be safely made that If It Is done the honest people of this country will see that It Is followed by the speedy punishment of those who are guilty. Partisanship may under certain circumstances be excused, but dl. honesty never. If Senator Brlce has not a clear title to hit teat no member of the tenate hss. Senator Faulkner, who It a conservative and level headed man, hat thlt to tay on Pie presidential outlook! "I think that If the delegation from his own state to the national convention want him nominated Mr Cleveland will be the nominee. But If factional differences In New York shall make It evident that no cltlaen of that state can secure unanimous support, the chances are that Ihe nominee will be sought else where, at It it absolutely necessary that the man nominated shall be able to carry New Y'oi k state." Representative Mills' headquarter for the speakership campaign are already pen, eithough the number ot congress men In town I as yet small, but Increas ing with the arrival of every train. The headquarters of Messrs Crisp, McMillan and Springer will be open this week. A It It jutt four wcekt today to the opening of congress the candidate for tpetker will have to bustle for all they are worth from now on. The sudden death ol the son 01 Representative Crisp cast a momentary gloom over that gentleman' prospects,but the activity of hi friends will prevent his temporary absence from the scene of action resulting la any harm to him. j Among the republican who are In hot chase after tome of the fat official plume toon to be distributed by Mr lltrrUon.lt x-Speaker Keller of unsavory memoty, who It now In Washington lo urge httown claims for something. It Is said that he Isn't over particular as to what office thai) be given him, just so there It a good healthy salary attached to It. Hi chance for an office is not regarded aa very good. The administration already has about all it can carry of this kind. , Mr Blaine Is very much disturbed, to hit frlendt tay, over the newt from Br ill, which he fcara may overturn the reciproc ity agreement with tha country. If the meager newt we have had be true there It mple cause for bis alarm, as it It certain that If the foreign lnfuenctt In Braill halt turn out to be powerful enough to destroy the republic, they will be strong enough to break any arrangement that hat a tendency to divert trtde which Europe hat heretofore controlled, to the United Statea. There It trepidation among the high of icialt of the government tervlce, because of the belief that a shake-up It contemplat ed by Mr Harrison, who thinks It will be beneficial to himself to replace tome of them with better politicians and better Harrison men. McKlnley't friends here are Indignant at the Idea advanced by some ot the Blaine, men, that the Ohio man would be willing to play tecond fiddle to Mr Blaine, or to anyone else. They say that McKlnleya name will be presented to the national convention at a candidate for pretldent. and that he will accept nothing else. Gov. Boiet is much talked of by dein ecratt here, and one hear the prediction on all tide that he will be beard of when the democratic national convention mcett Senator Palmer, of Illinois.
