A Bostonian, Mr John McAdams,

A Bostonian, Mr. John McAdams, has perfected an arrangement which, he asserts, will bring any vessel, however large and fast, steaming, to dead stop in from one to ten feet, and will hold her steady as a rock, with fuil steam on. The invention he terms a ship brake" and attach ed to this eontrivance is self act ing appliance which, during dark nights or thick or foggy weather, will render impossible, in his opin- ion, any collision with floating bodies, such as boats, ships, icebergs or with submerged bodies in the shape of mudbanks, shoals, rocks and piers, The device consists of pair of iron shutters or ''fins" hinged one on each of the stern post of a vessel and shutting close to it's side from the stern post forward. The "fins" are kept tightly closed by a simple apparatus on deck, which is connect. ed with the pilot house, and when ''let go" the stays connected with the fins" allow them to open iat right angles with the ship, bringing it to standstill and holding fast IS if anchored.

ssAid for Kansas 20

On the first page of this paper APP
pears an article taken from the indie.
pendence Tribune. A few weeks age
we noticed AL appeal made through
the Chicago Inter Ocean by Mr..
Daniel VOtaw, of Montgomery county.
Having for years exchanged with the
papers Of that county, and knowing 1t
to be one of the best and most popu-
lous counties in southern Kansas, we
wrote to the editor Of the Inter Ocean
and protested against the idea that aid
was needed in this portion of the state.
We did not then believe that an organ
ization begging for aid through the
east existed jn Montgomery county.
BY circulars received, from Mr.. NOtaw
we presume, We are now led to believe
that he is endorsed by large and re-
spectacle element of that county.
Hence we will recall the statement
that "he must be myth or worse"
Having said this we now protest
against Mr.. Votaw or Montgomery
, county longer begging for aid ip the
eastern states. For years Kansas has
had the name of beggar coupeled with
its name. And it has been caused by
lust such proceedings as that now be-
ing carried Oh by Mr.. Votaw. We do
not believe the necessity exists and we
doubt not that all needed aid can be
given here at home. Other counties
have had this "refugee" element but
we have not noticed that they have
gone to the eastern states with their
begging appeals.
We have never noticed that the
Montgomery county papers have
touched upon this subject before. If
such destitution has existed it is
strange that no public mention has
been made of it. We do not question
the honesty of those at the head of the
concern, but they do show lamenta-
BILE lack of state pride. If Moutgom-
cry county or the people of that county
want aid to sustain the destitute or
refugees" call on Kansas and let Illi-
nois alone.
This aid business is disgrace to the
state and should be stopped. Kansas
is amply able to feed her own poor and
can do it. Keep the begging appeals
at home and do not disgrace the whole
state any longer.

lence we again take up our pen that we
may add our mite as it will be Oul
last from Rock Greek. We hope that
some one more competent will take
our place and though we leave these
good people whom we have lived
among so pleasantly for the past four
teen months we still hope to hear
from them occasionally.

making garden. That lettuce you had
better take in and don't transplant

Mrs. Nettie Eng lish has music
class in lola during the spring and
summer.
Mr.. Rudolph Wenzel has his farm

that want to go fishing next summer
come by the house and the boss will

enterprising German and we predict
for him prosperous future.
