city at their hotel and awaiting the pro-
gress of of events. Short IS DESTROYS of
having Governor Click give him an es-
cort to Dodge In the shape of compa
ny oil militia, and having received the
promise of his protection. has been
waiting for something TO turn up. He
says he dare not go there alone and open
ly, trusting to promises the governor has
received.
Twelve citizens of Dodge City, Messrs

A. Bullard. kev. N. G Collins, T. L.
McCarty, F. j. Dlrand, r. E. Rice and
8. Mullendore, arrived yesterday after
noon ana were in consultation with the
governor for about two hours. They
represented that the authorities were
amply able to keep the peace and settle
differences, and they did not wish him
10 interfere. The governor said he had
information that Sheriff. Hinkle would
preserve the peace, and that until he
asked for aid, he should not interfere.
Col. Hardesty said that Dodge City
was no more excited than Topeka; that
the trouble exists chiefly in the newspa-
pers outsid. That he had friends on
both sides, was an outsider so far as the
row is concernedfand didn't know much
about it
Meeting another member of the COM
mittee. u reporter said he had been in
formed that Sheriff Hinkle was dis
posed TO preserve the peace, and asked
whether he would protect Short.
NO" said the committeeman, "Short
has beeu ordered out of town by the cit
liens and will not be permitted TO re-
turn"
what are the charges against him ?"
asked the reporter.
"DisObeying the ordinances.'
"Why don't you try him in the courts
there and punish him ?"
"Well. he is bad man generally. He
was ordered out OF town a year ago, and
allowed to return on promise of good
behavior. But he is bad man to have
around, and we don't want him there,
aud won't have HIM. Our proceedings
may not be just exactly according to
law, but its custom, and he can't re-
turn"
What will be done if he attempts to
return 90
"He will be ordered to COON. If he doer
all will be we'll If he resists the ordes
and tries to come back there may be
trouble But guess all will be peacea-
bly, settled"
Short said last night that he should
go back; just when he didn't know, nor
how. Ifhe don't have an escort he will
have to go under cover. and can't tell
how long it will take him to get there.
1t he persists in this intention, and car
ries it out there may be trouble yet, but
Gov. Click says he thinks all will be
settled in a few days.

The performances of Mr.. Pulitzer, the
latest owner of the New York World, are
attracting general attention just now.
Among other things, he announces in
his salutatory that he will undertake to
restore harmony among the haIr-pulling
Democracy of New York, and threatens
to ignore both the TIlden and Kelly
crowd. This is great task, and the
gaze of the country will be liked onto
Mr.. Pulitzer for some time to come. In
this connection ex-Congressman Hewitt
takes occasion to remark that he has
been engaged in the same missionary
labor for several years past. and thinks
there are more and meaner factions than
ever. He heartily commends Mr. Pulit-
ger and his enterprise, however. In any
event Mr.. Pulitzer will put new life
into the old World, and will make It q
paying enterprise. His past record gives
assurance of that. He began newspa-
per work twenty years ago, and besides
owning the St Louis Post Dispatch lie
able to pay nearly $400.000 for the
World.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: The Kan
sas City tornado was of the usual order.
1t moved from southwest to northeast ;
it destroyed every building in the path,
whether of wood or stone or brick: the
funnel shaped cloud hoped up and
zigzagged, and ruined here and spared
there, in the marvellous fashion which
no one can account for, or forget after
once observing it; and the path of on
ward progress was comparatively mar
row. Science is baffied; it can not fight
the elements. Causes are to some ex,
tent within its grasp, but to mitigate
damage is beyond its reach. II is moi
so easy in the city as in the country to
escape to one side from the storms
track. Experience has shown, however
that cellars are places of comparative,
il not absolute safety. Get into the
southwest corner close to the wall.

CONSUMPTION,

It is said that $1,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
the other symptoms of throat and lung
affections that lead 10 this disease. You
should arrest it while it is in the germ.
Two or three doses of DR.. Bossnko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. It does not
dry up cough like many preparations
on the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat
and bronchial tubes, removing all the
phlegm and morbid matter that eccu-
mulates in the throat and lungs. Il
allays ali irritation, and renders the
voice clear and distinct. Call for sam

Proceedings have been commenced in
court at Uniontown, Pa, for the disbar-
ment of Dukes, the murderer of Colonel
Mutt. The arraignment is of the Sc
verest and most sweeping character. The
specified charges cover the offenses
about which so much has been said, and
in addition declare that Dukes is grossly
immoral and depraved, unfAithful, un-
truthful, INSCRIPTIONS, vile, cruel,
heartless and shameless; and, finally,
that she has proved himself so lacking
in good moral character. honesty, dis
position and truthfulness as to disqual-
ify him under the rules of this court
and the laws of this Commonwealth for
the practice of the law at this bar" The
testimony will be taken next week, and
the case will receive another overhaul.

Chief Sitting Bull, having arrived at

his desire to be an honest old agricultu-
ralist, and to raise his food out of the

great ability and brilliant evidence OF
research by z. Frank Owen, who en-
Joys the distinction of being the young

Emporia high school. He promised
his address by the declaration that what
Carlyse said of Rosseau was applicable

In applying this epigram the speaker

Democrat: II may be that the people OF
Colorado and Nevada do not care what
other folks think of them, and will not

whole country to select men for senators
who are not pretty sure TO distinguish

LeaYenwortb Times: Dodge City and
Ford county are acquiring very un-
enviable name by the present municipal
trouble. II has been telegraphed from
one end OF the country to the other, and
editoriaIiy commented upon within the
same scope of country, and viewed in
many different lights. The trouble now
has become so complicated that it is
doubtful if any one knows Just what it
is. This is all wrong. Courts of justice
should be strong enough to protect the
people, without a resort to mob law and
violence. Kansas courts are strong
enough to assert their authority. Ifthe
public policy and feeling has been out
ragged at Dodge City, the courts of Ford
county are strong enough 70 settle it.
If any wrong has been committed. the
courts Of Ford county are amply ably to
handle it, and to punish whoever CON-
mltted it. That is where the matter
will have to end. The sooner both
sides learn this and drop their fight,
and let the law take its course, the bet
ter it will be for Dodge City, for Ford
county, and for Kansas.

"Reaeon Lights

was the subject of a beautiful and
thoughtful essay by Jessie May Green,
OF which the following is the central
idea: Everything seeks light and is
drawn toward it. Beacon lights are sig
nails erected as marks to give notice of
danger, 10 guide the mariner to the
haven and to spread the news OF great
events. The beacon lights of the Ro-
mans spread the intelligence of
empire established or fallen; of life
or death, of peace or war. The news OF
the battle OF Bunker Hill was a beacon
light which spread from village to VII
lage until the top-most hills of Virginia
and Georgia blazed with tidings OF cour-
age which could not be caught by the
distant ear. To US, tonight, beacon lights
mean any event in history of the past
or present which shall guide US or lead
US in life. The schools are the great
beacon lights of the civilization of
to-day; good books are the beacon lights
of the nation, and Christ is the great
Beacon Light Of the world. The essay
list thea reviewed the shining beacon
lights OF history including BunYan, Car
lysle and others. and concluded by direct
ing the eyes of all to that Beacon Light
which "shineG in the darkness" and
which Eliminates the world with the
effulgence of righteousness and peace.
She portrayed the influence of those vir-
tues which adorned the lite of the Light
of the World, and showed how the
children of men might become lamps in
the pathway OF life by being kind and
true and rejecting those beatitudes
which were exempli6ed in Christ, the
head and foundation of all light.
