Writing of the other side of the eight
hour system, for which such a demand
is now going up, Il working Man." i'm
the Globe Democrat, says: Don't YOU
know that this eight-hour business. of
which 50 much is now being said, UNI
derlies a great commercial principle?
One peculiar thing about 1t is, that the
educated communists and socialists op-
pose it on the ground that if adopted
in America, ana not adopted i'm Europe.
the ultimate result will lie a great re-
duction in the working mems wages i'm
America. 1t does not take a political
economist to figure out the correctness
of this proposition. Men working for
ten or twelve hours in Europe will GER
tainly produce more products than men
working for eight hours in America.
The result of this will be that America
cannot compete with Europe in any,
thing on which days work figures as
material factor

Nothing whatever has been done
about the Fourth of July celebration
at this place, though everyone, when
approached on the subject, will say that
of course the celebration must be held.
But it takes time and money to make
Il success of such an affair, and some
one must take the lead. New Kiowa
has indicated willingness TO celebrate
here if Medicine Lodge will join in their
second anniversary celebration a few
weeks later. That is fair. There is a
good band at Sun City that could be Sc
cured, no doubt, and so that city would
come here. Lake City wants to have a
grand three-nights opening of its fine
new hall on the 3lst inst, and June 1st.
and 2d, and besides we all celebrated at
Lake City last year. Sowe can certainly
count on Lake City. Sharon likes this
place anyway, and of course would come
over. And so would every other town
in the county: Then we suggest that
Mayor Ingraham call public meeting
for next week and feel the public pulse
ON this subject.

KiOwa Herald: The grazing grounds
for holding the shipping cattle have
been secured from Major Lamont. Point
your herds for Kiowa and every accom-
mediation for shipping cattle will be
found. Good grazing grounds, good
water, good yards, straight line to
Kansas City, st. Louis and Chicago,
and good town in which to pur-
chase all kinds of camp supplies. )"
Or better still, drive your cattle to
Medicine Lodge, where is to be found
unlimited grazing grounds south of the
Medicine river, an abundance of pure
water and plenty of stock yard room.
And, what is better, there is no possible
danger of getting your cattle mixed up
with through cattle if you drive to
Medicine Lodge.

a very foolish proceeding was that of
the person or persons at Iazelton who
wrote anonymous letters to Rev. Bosely
commanding him to leave the county
because he had seen fit to file an infer
nation against druggist of that place,
and other ways give expression to his
prohibition principles. Such commune
cations only emanate from towards, as
all clandestine attacks do. In this free
country a citizen has a right to his
opinions; he is entitled to protection
from mobs and assassins, and the
courts offer ample satisfaction to per-
sons whose characters are assailed.
There is no excuse for sympathizers of
the liquor element making threats, and
they are only weakening their cause
when they resort to anonymous letters
to intimidate citizens who are exercis-
ing their rights. Mr.. Bosley may have
been Ofiicious in the Pool case: but if
he was, pnblic sentiment will condemn
him.

THE STORM At KANSAS CITY
n fearful and fatal storm visited Kan
sas City at 1890 o'clock Tuesday morn

er buildings in the city. and TO the rail
road bridge over the Missouri river
The storm approached from the south
west, black clouds suddenly envelOpine
the city in darkness, followed in few
moments by torrents of rain and VIC
lent wind. The streets and alleys were
Hooded, Easements and first floors in
undated, and rivers of water poured
down the steep grades Of the city. 81
severe and sudden was the storm that
hundreds OF persons and teams were
unable To gain shelter, and were caught
and injured by flying timbers and fall
ing walls, chimneys and telegraph poles.
The greatest damage occurred at the
Lathrop school building, on Eighth and
May streets. where ten pupils were in
stantly killed and twice that number
badly injured. At the county court
house, on Second and Main streets, the
roof and most Of the third and fourth
story walls were blown IN, the deputy
sheriff, Henry Daugherty, was killed
outright, and Ell. and VIM. Hedges ia
tally injured. They were in the Office

all factory near by, half dozen girls
were killed, and number Of Others

the hurricane.
The storm lasted about three-fourthS
Of an hour. AMI was more destructive of
human life, in proportion to the amount
of property destroyed, than any storm
which las ever visited this portion OF
the country. Thirty lives are known
TO he lost, and great number were
seriously wounded, and the probability
is that the mortality list will be con.
siderably increased. Thousands OF
people, from all the neighboring towns
visited the scene of destruction the
next day, and in some places the street.
were SO crowded that it was almost i'm
passible.
Violent storms of wind and rain have
also visited Illinois and Indiana during
this week, ana several small towns il

and majority of the inmates vote the

lowed to vote at all. The republican
politicians of the town are wrathy over
this and the election officers of the

Importance Of Accident insurance

Mr.. Will S. Fugate, a resident of
Lawrence, purchased of r. X. Tabor.
agent for the Travellers Insurance
company, on February 9th, an acct
dent insurance ticket, paying therefor
% cents. On arrival at Baldwin STA
ton, on the Southern Kansas railway,
an hour later he slipped and fell from
the platform, sustaining injuries from
the effects of which he was confined to
the house about nine weeks. Yester-
day he received from the insurance
company. through their general agent,
Mr.. G. w. Cook, the sum of Sl39. % as
indemnity for loss of time. The i'm
pOrtance of accident insurance should
not be overlooked, especially when
travelling. Tickets are on sale at all
the principal railroad ticket offices at
the rate of % cents day, insuring to
the holder or those dependent upon him
5000 i'll case of death by accident, or
S15 per week in case of injury.

mended in his annual report, be granted
the entries suspended by his order OF
April 3, 1855, can all be investigated
and disposed of i'm about year and a
half. A large portion of these entries,
he says, are fraudulent. lie also says
that the general suspension order had
the effect of materially checking fraud
in land entries. lie thinks that the
hasty issuing OF patents increases the
chances OF fraud. lie renews his rec
concentrations for the repeal Of the

1t was reported to Coy. Martin this
week that 400 head of Texas cattle had
been shipped to Chase county. This
being in direct violation of law, at this
season of the year, the governor direct
ed the state veterinarian and live stock
sanitary commissioners to go and ex-
anime into the matter. Three years
ago Barber county suffered a big loss
Oh account OF Texas cattle being driven
in, and it would be decidedly unhealthy

In these days of guSh and demagogue-
~ il is refreshing to learn of even one
statesman who is not afraid to say no.
In congress. last Saturday, bill was
up appropriating 500 TO one Haldiman,
''who, when twelve years of age, desired
TO jOin an Ohio regiment, but was re-
fused, but who purchased a uniform
and served in that regiment year,
acting rs bn2ler, and performing scout
duty" according TO the report made by
friends of the bill. Mr.. Bragg, of Wis
cOnsin, who was soldier during the
entire war, opposed the bill, and ridi-
culed the idea of boy too young to be
mustered in, fulfilling scout duty. The
great patriotism which had been dis
played by the boy seemed to have OoZed
away, and he had become a beggar,
asking money from the government.
One of the most glorious memories of
the war was the noble women who be-
came nurses in order 90 alleviate the
suiferings of the soldier; but now these
women were found coming to the war
claims office, begging that their gratu-
itouS services should be coined into
dollars and cents. That knocked all the
sentiment out of the thing. lie wanted
some of the rich memories Of the war
preserved, and did not want them all
brought down to the level of dollars
and cents. Good for Mr.. Bragg: and
now, if he only had the proper backing,
he would, no doubt, be found opposing
extravagant and unnecessary pensions
to the rich widows of presidents, gen
erals, and such.
