fore which Andy Taylor was tried
were not credited with great brain
power, indeed, it is said by one who
claims to be an ethnologist that the
twelve men did not possess sufficient
brains for one ordinary man. 1t is

guilt was so clear that little mental
effort was required by the jury.

The Standard Oil Company's
tanks at Jersey City, NJ, were
struck by lightning on Thursday
morning, destroying, it is supposed
100000 barrels of oil, including
100000 barrels of refined oil. Imme-
diately following the flash of light
ming a huge sheet of flame shot VI
high into the air with a frightfu
roar. Other explosions followed il
rapid succession, like peals of thun-
der. 1t was useless to try and stem
the flames, but every effort was made
to circumscribe them. This was
partially successful, but at nine
clock tank No. Z exploded witt
great violence, placing many men ii
jeopardy. Most of the firemen who
happened to be near the tank es-
capped, but six unfortunately lost
their lives. The bay at once became
a sheet of flaming oil, and frag-
ments of iron tanks were hurled a
distance of half mile. The loss is
estimated at between one and two
million dollars.

Indeed, any other course would be
suicidal-7-or fratricidal, let us say. By
such mutual concessions the prOhibi-
tionists yield no vital or essential
point, and the Observation-Disclosures
grant nothing that for the good Of the
the party and the state they should
not expect to grant, or else again COM
NIT the utter folly ofplaying into the
hands of the Democrats. This con-
summation we do not expect to see
entirely realized in the county cleo
tions this fall. The issue will be
again forced to q greater or less extent,
and the old differences will have their
weight. But at the bugle call Of 'S4

Kansas Republicans fully reunited
