A BASH ACT.
The young bride of Jack Parker, of
a sensitive and hysterical nature, At
tempted saioide at the Mountain House
last nigbt at 9 o'oloek, by taking almost
au ounce of carbolic aoid. The husband
gave the alarm, Frank Natter and
Waldon Rhea responding at onoe, Dr,
Sonse arriving fifteen minutes later and
Dr Swinburne ooming shortly after
wards. Antidotes were administered
and a stomaob pomp used. At 12 o'olook
the dootors pronounced the case hope
less. Dr. House remained with the
patient until about 1 o'clock, when
vomiting commenced, which he pro
nounced a favorable symptom, and at
once ordered hot water applications,
which restored her to ooosoioasness.
As we go to press she shows indications
of re oovery.
The ease is particularly a sad one,
from the faot that the yonng girl is
merely an innocent child, and is deserv
ing of the protection and council of ao
elder. Should she reooner it is to be
hoped that a real or imaginary wrong
will never prompt a repetion of this
rash act;

What the Democratic Leadors Say A boat the
Contest.
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 25. Democratic
lenders now assert that One be I will not
contest before tbe legislature if be is not
given a certificate of eleotion by tbe
board wbioh ' oonvenes bere Saturday.
Taylor's managers are dubious on this
point as the statement that be would
contest baa not been denied by Gnebel
himself. Yesterday was tbe last day
under which the contests oonid be filed
against tbe republican members-elect to
the legislature, and the faot that abont
ten oontesta were filed against mimbers
seven against the house and three
against tbe senate ia regarded bb an
indication tbat the democrats are doing
this as a precaution try measure to seenre
a safe majority io both bouses in event
that a contest is determined on. Several
thousand people will be here at the
meeting of the eleotion oommittee.
Governor Bradley still maintains a guard
at tbe state arsenal and it is said tbe
war department was never so fully
equipped with ebonting material. Tbe
prospects for trouble) seem to be grow-
iog as tbe day for the Bnal settlement
approaches.
Egotistical Bat Nut Trathrnl.
"Oh, I don't have to advertise in the
city ; everybody in tbe oity knows me
and where I am located, aud if they want
anything in my linn they will oome and
see me." This was the answer I got tbe
other day from a merchant upon asking
him why be did not advertise.
It is egotistioal, to say tbe least, for a
merobant to make an assertion like this.
Even if he were bo well known, tbe pop
ulation in most towns is so obangeable
that tbere is always new oomera. These
people oome bere to live and Ibeir trade
is just aa desirable as those wbo have
lived bere all tbeir lives. But tbe mer
obant wbo makes this assertion will
sooner or later realize tbat even if every
one in town did know bim he will aoon
be forgotten in this day and age if be
sits in bis store and waits for trade. Tbe
successful business man of today is tbe
merobant who bids for bis austonr.ers
the man wbo goes after them with at
tractive and caret ally worded ads in tbe
looal papers. We have examples all
around ns of tbe merobsot who does not
advertise and tba merchant who does
and it is not bard to tell at a glance
which is tbe most successful.
To be a successful merchant more is
necessary tban to know everybody in
town. You must get after everybody
and keep your name and business before
them. Tbe only means of doing this,
aod tbe most successful, is to advirtise.

HUNDREDS OF MKN.
They Are Employed by Kock Island to Kill
In Kansas River.
The II x k Island railroad is filling In
the Kxnsas river at the looation of the
Rock Island bridge preparatory to tak
ing nut the south span. When com
pleted, tbe work will have added about
25 acres of land to that already owned
by the company in this city.
For the' pust two weeks a hundred
teams and several hundred men have
been at work throwing np a dyke, be
ginning at a point several hundred feet
out in tbe river, the lower or east end
of which would oonnect io a straight
line witb the nortb end of tbe south span
of tbe bridge. By means of this dyke
tbe water will be kept out of the stretch
between tbe dyke and tbe south bunk,
and sff'trd opportunity, should the river
rise, for the men to continue tbe filling
np process.
Work is being pushed ahead on this
dike with all possible haste, in tbe hope
of finishing it wbile good weather lasts
and the river continues low. As soon as
tbe dyke is completed a temporary track
part of w hich is already built, will be
Ibid along its entire length and tbe dirt
will Iben be hauled in tiainload lots
and the filling up accomplished in a
short spaoe of time.
Many improvements are contemplated
as a result of filling io the river. Tbe
first of these will be the taking out of tbe
south spaa of the bridge aod theetraight
eniog out somewhat of the main track,
which at present makes a very sharp
enrve in Its connection witb tbe "Y."
On either side of tbe msin track will
be laid numerous sidetracks, trnnsfering
the Kock Inland yards from North
Topeka. The roundhouse, which is at
present at Nortb Topeka, will be moved
to the south side and placed at some
convenient plaoe in the new yards.
In connection with the contemplated
improvements the old rumor that as
sooo as the sidetraoks are laid and the
roundhouse is built, tbe road will move
the western ihojs from Llorton to Topeka
and locate them along the Kansas river,
either on the Dew land or just above It
to the west, where it also owns man
acres, is revived. In case tbe shops are
cot moved from llorton to Topeka, there
is good reasons to believe that the Koob
Island may erect additional shops here
With the new land which will be ao-
qnired by tbe filling io of a part of tbe
river, tbe company's possessions beie
will amount to about 100 acres.
