Enforce the Death Penalty.
I'll. N. GARLAND,
Western Passenger Agent.

Ii Is pretty authentic conclusion to
Jump at that vast majority of the peo-
pie of this state are in favor of enforc-
ing the death penalty for murder. The
farce now III vogue as death penalty
law Is equivalent only to a life sentence
IN the penltentiary with a hope hung
out that the governor sooner or later
VIII pardon and send the criminal out
10 prey upon the community again.
The law as it now stands in MANY par-
tlculars induces instead of lessons the
crime OF murder. The criminal classes
are distinct race of bipeds. You can
not reach them through ordinary chan
nels. Ordinarily and usually they are
vicious and bad; bad in the very worst
acceptatlOn of that term. There is.
really no moral, conscientious founda-
tlOn IN the criminal classes to build on.
Ihey love evil rather than good. Be
ing from the reStrainment of an active
conscience they contemplate murder
and robbery as coolly and considerately
as ordinary mOrtals reflect on every day
business transactions.
This being the character of the GRIM
1nal classes how are you going to re-
strain them save through an appeal to
their fears? They are constitutional
and professed outlaws, amenable to no.
body or nothing, ever preying on society
and the people have but one remedy in
the matter and that is to make Justice.
sure and swift, follow directly in the
wake Oh crime. Photograph the GAL
lows on the brain of the murderer 40
the certain and never deviating result
OF his crime, and nine times out of ten
the murderer's hand will be STAYED.
therefore we say let the next legis-
lature restore the death penalty and let
our judges enforce it and crime in our
state of capital character will be re-
duced 75 per cent. good citizens will
be prevented from committing criminal
otfense by resorting to lynch law to
carry out the justice that should be
lodged with the cOurts.-GarneH Jour

Lightning Creates Sad Havoc In Chicago
Powder House.
CHICAGO, August, 29.-At 9:15 O'Clock this
morning in the midst of a thunder storm
the powder magazine belonging to Latin &
Rand Powder company was struck by light
ming. An explosion followed, which de-
stroyed property valued at $4,000, besides
killing one person almost instantly and IA
tally injuring four and inficting painful
injuries on nearly twenty-five others.
Just preceding the explosion long cleo
trio flame seemed to burst from a cloud di-
rectly over Latin d Rands magazine, and
In an instant the air was filled with flying
missiles, masses of brick and clay, and
sheets of tin. Large stones and pieces of
timber performed indescribable gyrations
hundreds of feet in the air, some falling
back close to the points from which they
started, while others shot off into space with
frightful velocity, only conforming to the
laws of gravity after long flight. Stones
weighing from ten to fifty pounds were
thrown into fields two miles from the scene
Trees were stripped, fences by the mile were
laid low, telegraph wires we're snapped, and
the prairie bore seams as of thousand
steam plOws. Not building within a mile
of the explosion escaped damage.
The cottage of John Guhl, with its sur
rounding outhouses, was laid low, and in a
moment parts of the exploded warehouse
began falling OF the cottage. The family
consisted of himself, his wife and Carrie
Ahernworth, IA years of age. The latter
was instantly killed while Guhl and his wife
we're dragged from the ruins frightfully
mangled. Their horses, COW and swine
were all killed by the conclusion and the
bodies blown full of dirt, sand and powder
The ruins of Guhl's house Immediately took
fire, and the smouldering fragments burned
out during the day.
The body of Carrie Ahernworth presented
cInlyn III IIo1f g.
torn away, the eyes were almost blown from
their sockets and there was gaping hole in
her forehead large enough to receive mans
fist. GuhPs left arm was torn from the
shoulder. The body was removed to the
home of her uncle, August Ahernworth, on
California avenue.
The dead and fatally injured are:
Miss Carrie Ahernworth, instantly killed.
Peter Kenn, farmer, ribs broken and
fearfully burned.
John Gum, teamster for the Oriental Pow
der company, ribs fractured, right leg
broken in two plac6 f internal wounds.
Mrs. Guhl, skull crushed.
Mrs. Lizzie Divine, right leg crushed to a
Jelly, breast transtixed by strip of glass.
The shock caved in two magazines Of the
Oriental powder company, and also those
belonging to the Warren Powder company,
the Hazard, the Dupont company and the
FOrcite dynamite storehouse. The Latin
IL Rand company was the only one which
| exploded. Where it stood is now an i'm
mense excavation, nearly fifty feet in
depth.

STOCK AND FARM NOTES

An excellent crop of German millet
was raised in Phillips county this year.
The broom corn crop in Mcpherson
county this year will be worth consider
able money.
The broom corn crop in Wilson county
is fair, and the prospect for good price
is hattering.
Quite a large acreage OF Kentucky
blue grass is being put in in Butler
county this year.
Sod corn in Stevens county is re
ported as promising yield of thirty to
fifty bushels per acre.
Kiowa county will raise an enormous
corn crop this year, larger, so the papers
claim, than that of any new county.
Mcpherson Freeman: The chintz bug
is doing considerable damage to late
corn In the southern part of the county.
Lindsborg Mcpherson county News:
Most of our farmers are busy making
hay, during this pleasant weather. The
late rains have made the hay crop for
this year much better than it has been
for several years previous.
Syracuse Hamilton County Journal:
Farmers are jubilant over the fattering
prospect for corn crop. They say it is
as good as ever grew on first sod, and is
far enough advanced to be out of danger
from drouth. The only lamentable feat
ure is that larger acreage was not
planted.
Jake Admire, Of the Usage City Free
Press, who writes about steers and farm
ing, remarked last week: Farmers who
pay more than seven cents for cutting
corn fourteen hills square, or nine cents
for sixteen hills square, will find, if they
figure, that there is no money in it for
them this year.
Lakin Advocate: One of our most
successful farmers brought us a bunch
of millet the other day, that measured
four feet and ten inches. He could Just
as well have had eight or ten acres of a
fine crop, but unfortunately for him he
lacked confidence enough in the country
to put in the seed.
A leading stock breeder of Morris
county has recently added to his herd
five head of thoroughbred Jersey COWS,
one Jersey bull and one heifer. Three
of the of the COWS have high record as
butter producers, the first having yield
ed lib, the second 15tb and Co.'s, and
the third Alb and 4ozs. of butter in
seven days.
Clay Center Dispatch: This state
ment may sound strangely to our east
ern readers but it is true. Out of the
$4,000 acres of growing corn in this
country not one acre will be topped"
and not over 500 acres will be ''cut up"
and shocked" for fodder. Corn fodder
is practically unknown in the great corn
growing regions of Kansas.

Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
When the rich mineral district of Vul-
ture, Arizona, was developed large min
ing camps were established, thronged
with enterprising prospectors, and all
went well save the supply of nail mat
ter, which came to hand only once a
week. Petition after petition was for
warded to Washington urging the neces-
sity OF increasing the mail supply, but
the department was deaf to all entreaties,
and made no reply whatever to the re-
peated demands. Everybody was in
indignant despair, when Prof George A.
Treadwell, noted mining engineer, I'M
dertook the apparently impossible task
OF securing a daily mail
The professor went to work deliber-
ately to prepare a supply of tin and
wooden boxes, and at each outgoing mail
forwarded to the postmaster general the
finest obtainable samples of Arizona pro-
ducts OF horned toads, lizards, cent?
pedes, scorpions and tarantulas, finally
winding up with an extraordinary speci-
men OF the rattlesnake species. Each of
these was accompanied by a long and
graphic description, from the scientific
standpoint Of its origin, genus, habits,
etc., and to each letter was added a post
script: Il shall keep up the supply as
long as Arizona furnishes anything novel
or strange, or until our mail facilities are
properly increased"
The officials of the department were at
trst pleased by the packages of natural
curiosities, and did not catch on to the
drift OF the thing until the twenty-sev-
enth specimen, fine rattlesnake, came
safely to hand. Then a new light broke
In upon the postoffice people, and thew
became immensely tired of the horned
toads and ''sich." The professor was
duly visited by letter of thanks for
his contributions to science, and the sug-
gestion politely made that the postmas,
ter general would take it as a favor If he
would cease renting any more speci-
mems. A postscript, however, was added
by the corresponding clerk. which read
about as follows: "For Gods sake, don't
send any more of this sort of stuff and
you can have anything in the depart
ment you want" Mail service was in
creased to daily, and no more insect or
reptile consignments were received

California; Red wood


Philadelphia Leader.
Forest fires make very little Roadway,
it is ascertained, among the sequoias
and redwood trees, as the bark of these
contains no resin. An accidental con-
flagration kindled in these woods, it is
said, is more likely to injure the green
sprouts only than to take hold OF the
great trunks. For use the redwood is
durable, although, it is soft and coarse
grained, except in the southern part Of
the California sequoia forest belt, where
it grows hard and fiinty, perhaps be-
cause there is less rain and fog in that
quarter. San Francisco believes that
the extensive use Of this beautiful wood
in her buildings accounts for her free
dom from great fires, as there is little
difficulty in putting ont the flames
among redwood timbers in buildings.
The fierce devastation in the pine lum.
Der district OF the Lake Superior region
gives interest to these details. But the
sequoia planter plants for very remote
future, unfortunately, as the redwood
growth is as slow as it is sure.

ORIGIN nf slantinc Roofs.

Popular Science Monthly,
To find the source from which European
nations have derived the art OF building
in stone we must look to the land OF the
Pharoahs. From Egypt the craft passed
to Greece, and from the Greeks 1t was
taken up by the Romans, to be by them
disseminated through the north and west
of Europe in the process Of colonization.
The similarity in regard to the construc-
five parts of the ancient Greek buildings
to some of those found in Egypt of older
date, affords strong confirmation OF the
tradition that the Greeks borrowed the
art from the Egyptians. The Greeks,
however, in adopting it added new fea-
ture, pediment, and the reason for this
addition is easy to find. Egypt is prac-
tically rainless. All the protection from
the climate required in palace or tenn
pie in such a country is shelter from the
sun by day and from the cold by night,
and for this fiat roof, supported by
walls, or pillars with architraves, is quite
sufficient; but, as when in all European
countries, rain has 10 be taken into ac-
count, aslanting roof becomes necessary.
The Greeks, with their eyes for symme-
try, provided for this by forming the
roof with central ridge at an obtuse
angle, from which it sloped down equal
ly on either side. The triangular space
thus formed at the end of the building
above the architrave was occupied by the
pediment, and this part of the facade,
which owed its birth to the exigencies OF
climate, was thenceforth regarded as SO
essential to the artistic completeness of
the work that it was said that if temple
were to be erected in the celestial regions,
where rain would not be possible, the
pediment could not be omitted.

Louisville, Ky, Times.

LOUISVILLE, n.y., Times.
Mr.. John Harrison Jones and Miss
Lulu E. Moody, of Baskerville, Jeffer-
son county, were married yesterday
afternoon by Squire John Mccain.
The young people were an clipping
couple, and the story of their escapade
Is somewhat romantic.
Both are children of we'll to do farm
ers in the north end of the county, but
almost coexistent with their residence in
the ueighborhood it is said that there
has been between Farmer Jones and
Farmer Moody feud not deadly but
bitter to the EXTREMIST hate. The thing
all came about from a quarrel over a
sucking pig, and had lasted a long
time since the moment the porker which
caused all the trouble was ground to
sausage meat. About year ago con-
sternation struck deep into the circles of
both families when an undisguised af-
lection sprang up between Squire Jones'
son, John Harrison, and Moody's daugh-
ter, Lulu Eaching Each pater familias
forthwith forbade his offsprings having
any communication with the other.
Clandestine meetings were frequent,
however, and finally Farmer Jones soft
ened under the supplication of his son.
But Mr.. Moody was obdurate, and the
three heads set about the outwitting of
the old mans vigilance. On Monday
night the whole party met at the Baptist
meeting house, and the good preacher
took for his text Whom God hath joined
let no man put asunder" and the young
people thought so, too. They made
their way from the church while the
parsons monotonous OBSCURE held the
father wrapt IN unconscious sleep.
Horses were in readiness and the
young couple set about their thirteen
mile gallop to the city. They had gained
about quarter Of a mile in the beauti-
full moonlight, when the meeting came to
a sudden close and the angry father and
his friends, mounted on their horses.
were in pursuit. Young Jones was a
good rider and so was the girl, and the
pursuit was sharp for long distance
Some one fired a revolver, but it had
only the effect of making the young peo-
pie rde faster. The horses of both
parties became tagged, and the race was
finally reduced to a walk, but the clippers
kept a safe distance in the lead. When
the town was reached it was past mid
night, but fortunately the city was well
known to Jones, but perfect labyrinth
to the others.
The sweethearts eluded their pursuers,
and registered at the Farmers hotel IN
der assumed names. 1t was found that
the other party had put up at the same
hotel. The lovers remained locked in
their rooms until the others went ont to
continue their search, when they slipped
out, and, procuring a license, NTH the
assistance of guardian, were made man
and wife by jovial Squire Mccain to
whom they related their story.
Jones is q fine looking young man.
and has just passed his majority. The
bride Is a very young lady, but Is typi-
cal Kentucky beauty.

Kansas City livestock Indicator: A
correspondent writes 70 Kansas paper
complaining that the wet weather has
greatly injured his last years corn,
which is lying piled, exposed to the
weather. The editor feels sorry for this
man, and says he is like the iackass be-
tween two loads OF hay. If it rains he
looses last years crop; if it don't rain he
looses this seasons crop. Providence has
been pretty good in looking after the
welfare of the average farmer, but he
can't expect everything, and if a man
let's his corn lay out on the ground near
~ year because he is too close or short
sighted to sell some of it to build crib
TO cover the remainder, he cannot COM
plain if it gets rained on. If a crop is
worth raising it is worth saving, and the
time is past III Kansas when a crop can
be saved in good condition without being
sheltered after it is gathered.
