KLINGES SMITHS boots arc in Phoebe
When we state this We state i: positively
on the assurance of J. r. Megarigle that
such is the fact; it took one wagon to
haul these boots from the Muddy. When
Cross, the Deputy U. S. Marshal, passed
through the Muddy country with Smith
in his charge, he left those boots in
charge of Mr.. Megarigle to be deposited
in the archives of Lincoln county, and
yesterday he wished to present them to
the local of the RECORD, thinking he was
the keeper of the archives, but after try
ing one on and finding it covered our
body to the neck we declined the trust,
so that now house will have to be
built i'll which to place them. Who will
take the contract?

THERE ARE number of people IN
the United States who arrogate to
themselves the name of Christian,
the principal part of whose religion
consists in prescribing what other
people shall think. For many
years they have been agitating a
movement to have God recognized
in the Constitution of the United
States. They forget that the object
of our government is to afford civil
protection and religious liberty to
its citizens. and that the insertion
of the name of God in the funda-
mental law could no more benefit
the cause of religion than a series
of resolutions adopted at a country
school denounclng Pontlus
plate for unseemly haste, could
alter the great events which follow
ed his weak minded compliance
with demands of the mob of bigots
who cried, Let him be crucitied. .
The men who clamor for this
amendment. are no less bigots than
they who demanded the death OF
Jesus Christ, because he taught a
moral and religious belief some
what different from that which they
had practiced. We are led to these
views by some remarks we over
heard as we were journeying from
Carson, day or two since, coupled
with the hope that the Legislature
would pass such resolutions as
would favor an amendment Of this
character.

VIZ LATELY made mention OF a
hanging, and so praised the lntiu-
ence upon the spectators that one
reader of the TIMES, at least, IN
ferred that we made light of it and
were not its warm admirers. as an
appendage to our Christianity. We
regret exceedingly to have " hurt
the feelings " of any one deeply at
tached to this means of grace, and
hasten to say that we will do our
best to accept the next invitation
we get to hanging, and feel happy
all the time, remembering that our
brother thinks it a Christian duty.
Bah! 1t is horrible! And not one
who reads these lines has a heart
which does not tell him so. Not
too bad for a murderer, but too bad
for society, which cannot help max
ing half martyr of the wretch who
in this way goes to his death. Well,
we don't expect to see it abolished
right away, and don't care to dis
cuss it further, so our readers can
cling to hanging unmolested.

every hillside with pick and shovel,
and woe to the man who had not
run his lines correctly or not done
the required amount of work to hold
his claim. In some instances Uni

NdISoll, Jan. ~ Az wi
caucus of the Republican Senators
this evening the rules of the last ses-
sion were adopted with the exception
of rule twenty, which takes the APP
pointment of standing committees
from the hands of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Denver, and empowers the
Senate to elect. Fourteep Republl-
can Senators were present. 1t is
hardly possible that an organization
will be effected on Monday. The
members of the Assembly will eau
Gus tomorrow and Sergeant-a Arms
and probably Speaker will be nom
mated; Helm, of Ormsby, Clerk OF
the Supreme Court will probably be
nominated. Efforts are being made
to caucus for United States Senator
tomorrow evening, which will fail.
A quorum of both houses is already
present.
A caucus will be held tomorrow
evening on organization.
Stevenson, of Storey, Narian OF
Humboldt, and Lockwood, OF Orms-
by are the only candidates for Presi-
dent Pro tenn.
Many are opposed to caucusing on
organization as all attaches of both
houses are elective.

DEATH BEHIND THE SCENES.
Hr. J. J. Prior, one of Lottas Leading Ac-
tors, Expires While the Play is Going

On.
The facts in relation TO the sad event we
are speaking OF, as obtained from a reliable
source, are as follows:
Mr.. j. j. Prior, an Englishman by birth,
about tifty-tive years Of age, and all his life
an actor, had been in rather poor health
Tor some four or five years, but for the last
few weeks had been much worse. Miss
Lotta and other members OF the troupe had
tried to prevail on him to give up his ell
gagement, but being naturally ambitious,
and having family dependent ON his earn
ings for support, declined to do so, until
death terminated his engagement and rung
down the curtain Of his life forever.
He had appeared Friday night in the
play OF Zap, though really unable TO do SO,
and came TO the theater Saturday after
noon in carriage, intending TO appear at
the matinee, but was unable 10 do SO. In
the evening he was cast as Grandfather
Trent, in the play Of Little Nell, but was
unable TO go on the stage. Shortly after
the performance began, and while lying in
a bed in one Of the dressing rooms under
the stage, he must have been suddenly
seized with sense of suffocation, for in at
tempting TO rise he fell or rolled off the bed.
and giving one stitled groan was dead in
moment His fellow actors, hearing the
noise, rushed into the room TO find him I'M
able to speak, and just able to give but one
feeble sign of recognition, when he closed
his eyes forever. Physicians We're sent for,
and DIR. Forbes, who was in the house. saw
the man almost Immediately, and pro-
nounced life wholly extinct, and that,
doubtless, disease of the heart had been
the cause of death.
Now followed a strange, weird scene.
The play still went on before the scenes,
while behind was acting in real life. As
one after another OF the actors was called
to the front and returned breathless and
asking, is he really dead?" when fully
assured of the truth, the unbidden tear
would rise, and the over-burdened breast
give forth sigh of regret The frivolity
of Dick Swiveller ceased, the Marchioness
looked even more wretched, and Sampson
Brass stood awed in the presence of death.
One and all, in their queer garbs, they
stood around the couch Of their dead com
panion, real actors in the great drama of
life. White before the scenes Little Nell
and her Grandfather Trent entered death |
from the mimic stage, behind the scenes the
grandfather entered upon that real death |
from which there is no awakening
Such is life. To the world We present a
seeming happiness and freedom from care,
while down in our hearts, behind the scenes, |
We often stand around the remains of blast |
ed hopes and fondest ambitions.
Before the theatre closed that night, the |
Coroner had called and examined the case, |
the undertaken had done his work; the |
dead actor was coffined, and that night |
started on the train for his late residence |
i'm New York City, where wife and chill
dren awaited his coming.-Ioledo Blade.

What Became of Putting a Pan
full of Dirt Under the
Stove.
The MiSfOrtuneS of q Cherokee,

THURSDAY, NAY 20, 1915.
A CHRISTOPHER STORY.

A gentleman who has Just returned from
Cherokee county, Kansas, is full with re-
markable "reminiscences Of the grasshoppers
infesting that vicinity. He will stand
around for an hour, relating the hair
breadth escapes Of the people whom the
hoppers have completely oyerrun, and who
are leaving their homes and fleeing from the
fearful scourge The traveller is inclined to
think that many OF the crimes attributed
to the james boys are 10 be traced TO the
more hardened and dissolute grasshoppers,
many of whom, he saws, are arming with
shot-guns and organizing a sort OF home
guard or offensive and defensive purposes.
One of his credible stories is to the effect
that, a few weeks ago, a woman dug up a
painful Of dirt in which to plant some flow
er seed. She put the pan under the stove,
and went out to see neighcor. Upon her
return, after an hours absence, she found
seven thousand bushels of grasshoppers
generated by the heat, literally eating her
out of house and home. They first attack
ed the green-shades on the windows, and
then a green-painted dust-pan. A green
Irish servant girl, asleep in one OF the
IoDAns, Was tilt HeAt NIctlIl, anu mol Il Nec-
tige of her was left. The stove and stove
pipe followed, and then the house was torn
down so they could get at the
chimney. Boards, joists, beams, plas-
tering, clothing, nails, hinges,
door-knobs, plates, tin-ware, everything, in
fact, the house contained, was eaten up, and
when she arrived within a mile of the
place, she saw two of the largest hoppers
sitting vp on end, and playing mumble-peg
with the carving-knife, for which should
have the cellar
The way the matter leaked out was on
a suit brought against the insurance COM
pany, which refused to pay the policy, on
the ground that the building was not de-
stroyed by fire F; but the court rendered a
verdict for the plaintiff, as she had proven
that the grasshoppers were generated by the
fire in the stove.

An Infamous Scoundrel on his Travels.

The Burlington Patriot has an account of
the operations Of c. n. Rice, a school
teacher, who succeeded in running two Young
girls who were attending his school. These
girls are named respectively Mary F.
Pankey, aged l6 years, who gave birth to
a child on the 10Th of February last, and
Clarinda A. Pankey, aged IA years, who is
in family way, and near confinement.
They are both motherless girls, and their
aged father is blind Before this sorrowful
event these Young girls bore an unsullied
reputation in the neighborhood, and were
esteemed and respected by all who knew
them. Mr.. Rice was thrown a great deal
into their company, and instead of acting
as their guardian and protector, he chose
TO seduce them, and succeeded in accom-
Plishing his infamous designs under PROM
Use of marriage. The girls were removed
TO Morgan county, Illinois, by their broken
hearted father, some time ago, where they
have resided until lately.
On the afternoon of the 9th ult., mat
tiers suddenly came to head at the Kew
West school house. Some ten or a dozen
OF the people of that neighborhood had col
lected at the school house to attend the dis
tribution of some aid received from the
east Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Perkins we're
among the number. Rice accused Perkins
of attempting to take advantage of him,
when Perkins promptly denied it; Rice
threatened TO whip Perkins and struck at
him. Perkins being unarmed, and know
ing Rice crrried loaded weapons, refused
to get into difficulty with him. Rice fin
ally drew his revolver, and before any one
could interfere fired at Perkins, who was
distant from him about ten PAGES. The ball
passed Just over Perkins head and lodged
in the building. Parties interfered and
took Rice away, when the crowd dispersed.
A writ was issued by II. Romary. Justice
OF the peace, for Rioe's arrest on charge of
assault with intent to kill, and the warrant
was placed in the hands of c. NJ. Peck for
service. but from some cause of DELAY, Mr..
Peck missed finding him. 1t seems that as
soon as the difficulty was over at the school
house, Rice proceeded to Mr.. Brottis, who
quietly married him TO Miss Buck, proba-
bly, to save Rice further exposure. and
the newly married couple fled in the dark
ness for parts unknown.
