EDITORS News We are told those
opposed to voting bonds for educational
purposes, that the county is two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars in debt,
and that the city is in arrears about one
third as much. This statement is COM
paratively true, but it is also fact that
not one dollar of this debt was incurred
for our city schools. It is also fact
which these haters of debt should be in
terested in more than they apparently are
that we have lot of securities belonging
to the county, that are practically worth
less paying neither interest nor dividends
that to suit the schemes of
Wall street have now a fictitious
value and can be sold fast enough to
liquidate nearly one-half of our county
Indebtedness. Be consistent, gentlemen:
sell this stock, pay off your debts, and
cease this senseless cry against pros

scrip OF stock of an unlimited trust
and confidence company known as the

in which TT. Scott is located has about
the same number of people as the En-

1000 school children. FIT. Scott enrolls
1170 in its schools, while Emporia does
not reach 900. This shows that the en-
rollment in this place is not what it
should be, yet for all, it is far beyond
the capacity OF the present rooms. We
see by a comparative report of seventeen

Throwing Ills Family to the Wolves

Sefpreservation is said to be the first law
of nature, yet there are circumstances in
which this law should be infringed, and the
safety of others take precedence of the long
ing to preserve ones life from the danger
which threatens it. No one, for instance,
can read, without q feeling of indignation, the
subjoined incident related by Russian con-
temporary. A peasant, residing near Moscow
was travelling through deserted part of the
country in conveyance containing himself,
his wife and four children, when the party
was pursued by flock of bowling, famsh-
ing wolves. The peasant urged the horse
along at full speed, but in spite of all the
wolves gained every minute on the travellers.
A horrible death seemed imminent, when the
father devised plan for personally escaping
from the danger. He took his youngest
child in his arms and deliberately threw it to
the pursuers. This averted the danger for n
brief time but soon after the wolves were
again following the carriage in search of fresh
prey. Successfully the other three children
were thrown to them and devoured, which
enabled the man and his wife to reach a
neighboring village in safety. The poor
mother, who had in vain implored her hus-
band not to sacrifice in this barbarous fash
ion the lives other little ones, denounced the
unnatural parent to the authorities. The
case has Just been heard and the father ac-
quilted, on the theory that he had the right
to sacrifice his children since his own life
was at stake. The law of his country may
absolve him, but every parent will condemn
him
