GIVE US A REST

There are several papers in the state.
notably the Topeka Commonwealth.
the Wichita Eagle and the Troy Chief,
that refer 10 our law makers as a
STOOL legislature, simply because they
amended the prohibitory law so as to
bear down more heavily upon the sa-
looms and make il less difficult of en-
forcement.- Russell Record.
Ii is not surprising that "fool legis-
lation" should meet with appreciation
from fools. AS for the rest of the
criticism, we have only TO observe,
and everybody here knows it, that the
EAGLE made the fight on the prohibit
ton platform, with ST. Johns cry OF
"the home against the saloon" nailed
to its masthead. and it was no half
hearted fight either, but honest and
earnest, and what was The result: We
got most beautifully left. That was
not last year nor last month, but yes
terday. IL the fool editor above don't
know what that means he'd better
turn his attention TO something else
than editing newspaper. And the
defeat did not come because our party
was in the minority, but because of
the insincerity, the selfishness and
conspiracies of men high in authority
in the prohibition counsels of Wichita.
The editor Of the Russell Record

in a weak solution of drug store

The JUDGE AND PRISONER.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In certain county not FAR from
Wichita. a district judge in passing
sentence upon young man charged
with burglary. said:
Il have known your parents from
childhood. and your father was a ninety
educated man. a good Christian, had
a great MANY friends. influential and
yerv wealthy. Your mother was a
noble woman. a devoted mother and
led a pious life. Ioar sisters and
brothers were very prominent IN So
ciety. were widely and popularity
known. New, sir, have You Anything
TO saw before this court why sentence
should not be pronounced upon you:
The Young mans eyes sparkied with
iov. evidently thinking the judge
would pass light sentence on him,
said nothing.
Il will give you, sir, fifteen years ST
hard labor in the Kansas peniien-
tiarv." remarked the judge with 3
cunning look.
The young man laughed heartily
and very loud, attracting the attention
of everybody.
what are you laughing about,
remarked the judge somewhat sur
prised.
.Your Honor, | was laughing to
think that you did not know my
Grandmother or you would have given
me lifetime sentence" replied the

"A BELIEF IN GOD "
To 70 the Editor of the Eagle.

To to the Editor of the Eagle.
When | wrote the article entitled
"A Belief in God" it was in no spirit
of controversy, as distinctly stated,
nor was INV attitude toward Chris
tianity in anywise hostile. Your cor
respondent, 'Namyl," must have read
it quite carelessly, which | take to be
the reason he has misrepresented me.
and quoted inaccurately. If ''Namyl'
will re-read nv article, he will find
that did not say we want ''less Chris
tianity.' | said, at is not more
Christianity, but more humanity that
is needed" Humanity is not only a
'':eading feature" it is the very foun-
dation, the sure basis of Christianity.
Charity, in its broadest, best sense, Is
one of the leading features, and the
Golden Rule" the governing principle
of humanity. speak of the charity
that 'thinketh no evil, and is ready
TO accord 10 every man all credit due
him, independent of his belief or dis
belief. "Namyl" mentions the amounts
given for missionary or educational
purposes every year. | am well aware
of the fact that vast sums are raised
for missions and schools, and | am also
certain that the sums would be vastly
diminished, were they minus the con-
tributions of all those who make no
profession of Christianity. | think it
but right and fair TO acknowledge the
good we find outside the gates, in
stead of melting out wholesale condem-
nation of those who differ radically
from us. Namll asks how many
schools or charitable institutions have
been established or maintained by
liberalists: That there are a great
many institutions Of learning under
the auspices of iiberalists is a matter
concerning which | have no doubts.
Having no proper statistics at hand,
will not undertake 10 tell how many.
The University Of California is a
prominent broad school. The institu-
ton is self-supporting and uncompro-
misingly secular. Ii has over sixty
professors and teachers, among whom
the is ID. ID. holdings quasi-honorary
position in the law school. II is well
known that Stephen GiTard founded
and endowed a college. Non-sectar-
ianism is a step toward liberalism, and
| might mention over twenty schools
of that character, without stopping 10
refer TO statistics. 1t is noticeable
fact. that very many of our philan-
thropists and benefactors lave been
men who evinccd little interest in re-
ligien, as set forth by creeds and dog
mas. Nav it not be they are among
those of whom the poet SAYS: They
do Gods will and know it not.
Whether they acknowledge the Faith
erhood of God or not they recognize
the "Bre2herhood of Man.
Now, Namyl and may not agree
exactly on some points but when he
saws: What we want is TO lift the
standard of Christianity up" | can
truly say, chats just my sentiment.

A Dead Body Fouud BY a Dog.

Andrew Thomas, colored man. residing at
Rockville, Md, disappeared from that place in
the latter part of March last, and since that
time nothing whatever was heard of him until
few days ago. 1t was supposed for some cause
that he had been murdered, and reward Of
$500 was offered by the Governor for the dis
covery of his body and the apprehension OF the
criminal. On Tuesday last dog belonging to
Mr.. Adam Robinson, living in the vicinity of
Rockville. brought home human finger in his
mouth. Mr.. Robinson at once concluded that
the dog had found Thomas's body, and think
ing that if he fastened the dog up until he got
hungry, he would again return to the corpse
for another meal. He accordingly confined the
animal during tho night, and the next morn
ing on releasing him found his surmise to be
correct The dog went straight to thicket in
the vicinity where the remains of the negro
was discovered. The corpse was eaten almost up,
little more than a skeleton being left. One leg
was torn entirely from the body. 1t is impos-
sible to tell from the mutilated condition
whether murder had been committed or not ;
the only supposed evidence of violence being
the absence of several front teeth from the
upper jaw.

SOLDIERS FRIENDS.
Two Indianians Who Deserve the Gratitude OF
Comrades.


Comrades.
To THE EDITOR: Will you kindly permit an
old soldier from the Hoosier State the use of
sufficient space in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE to
make personal mention of two grand, big
hearted Hoosiers who are cheerfully doing all
they possibly can for the old vets, their widows
and orphans of our Commonwealth 1 speak
of Hon. DanI w. Voorhees,, our Senator, and
of his Private Secretary, Hon. C. T. Faulkner,
State Senator from Ripley County. Iud. Every
morning Mr. f. wends his way from Mr.. Voor-
hees's rooms at the Capitol to the Pension
Office, in the interest Of some claimant who
has appealed to Dir. Voorhees, or himself. This
work to him is a labor of love- for though dur
ing the late unpieasantncss he did not fight,
bleed and die as Colonel" he gave the lives Of
two dearly loved sons-his ALTO the cause.
He also lost brother and two nephews in the
same cause. During the Morgan raid he WAS
"eaten out of house and home" but he never
made claim for one cent. He has helped
hundreds through with their pension claims,
and made not one cent charge, but has spent his
time and money most readily when any soldier
or soldiers widow has asked his help. He has
been sent money by those thankful for his aid,
but that has always been returned. While in
Mr.. Voorhees, Committee Room to-day / was
| shown book kept by him containing the
names of over 1000 claimants whose claims
| they have got through or are still working on,
| and while there the mail was opened and four
| notices received from Gen. Black saying that
| that number of claims had been granted, and
| adding in each case to Mr.. Voorhees,, As you
| brought this case up deem it but right to no.

upon the name Of one claimant well known to
| him, he said: We'll, thank God, Jim has got
portion of his just dues ut last!" AS Mr..

six years, it win net do for an enemy to say

or our old State Senator, honest G. +. Faulkner.

Fatal Fire in BROOKLYN.

The most fatal fire which has visited Brook
Ign, N Y, since the great theater FIRE, in which
over 200 people persisted, occurred on Tuesday
morning of last week. The scene of the dis
aster was large five story building which was
occupied by about 20 small manufacturers en-
ploying in the aggregate about 700 persons, men
and girls. The primary cause of the disaster
was the upsetting of a soap vat, which set the
floor of the room in which it was situated on
fire, but the principal loss of life occasi oned
by the rickety condition of the building, parts
of which collapsed almost as soon as the fire
broke out, hindering the fremen in their work
and cutting off the escape of the unfortunate
inmates. Twenty-seven lives were lost aud
quite a number Of persons more or less burned
and otherwise injured.

Horrible Murder by q Mother.

At Newark, N. j., on the 5th inst. Lucy Gill
christ. wife of John Gilchrist, while insane
from drink, seized her six-menfhs- old baby, and,
placing it on block, chopped its head, neck,
and body with an ak, killing it instantly.
Another of her children gave an alarm, and
some of the neighbors rushed in. but too late to
save the baby. The woman without doubt, is
insane. She says she did the deed because the
spirits told her to. and because she must save
Ireland. When her husband arrived. soon after
the child was killed. it was with great difficulty
that he was restrained from attacking her. The
woman who is about SO years old, has three
remaining children, aged IA, II, and five years.
She was taken into custody.
