over the scaled rate to the parties of whom q
higher rate had been collected. This would
operate severely on all lines between Chicago
and the Pacific coast. The net result would
be to increase the cost and therefore to di-
minish the frequency of railroad wars In
this point of view, many railroad officials find
something of good in the provision of the Gull
lom bill. Instead OF declaring war whenever
new line demanded what would seem TO be
an exorbitant share of pool earnings, as in
the case OF the Atchison and Transcontinen-
tai pool, the matter would be referred to ar
oitration and the arbitrator would determine
the relative percentages without cut in the
rates and an exhaustive contest If the roads

A KANSAS KILLER.
H- Ats mpts to Oep0pulate . Whole
Nsighborhood and is Himself
LynOhed.

LARNED, Kansas, Nov. 1O.-Particu-
lars have been received here of the crime
and lynching of Samuel Purple, near the
village Of Marine. The reports say that on
last Friday morning Mrs. Purple arose as
usual and prepared the breakfast. She then
went to awaken her husband, which SO en-.
ragged him as to incite him to the heinous
crime which soon followed.
He sprang violently from his bed, and
seizing his revolver shot his wife through
the body, from which wound she died at
once. The newborn babe was the next one
attacked, with the same result. He next shot
and killed another of his children. His sis
ter-in-law, Miss Lawler, was then selected
and fired at. The ball passed through her
arm and lodged somewhere in the shoulder
As this emptied his revolver he proceeded
to load his shotgun in order to complete the
work. A slight misunderstanding was the
only thing that stopped the deadly proceed
ings. The powder was poured into one bar
rel and, by error, the shot into the other.
With this he endeavored to blow the
head off another child, but as there was not
enough powder in the barrel the child's
face was only severely burned by the ex-
plOsiOn. A heavy blanket was seized and
wound around the suffering child, and this
was securely wrapped with heavy wire, in
the hope that he might accomplish by suffo-
cation what he had failed to do by the use
of the shotgun. The child will recover, al
though fearfully disfgured about the face.
The murderer then mounted horse and
started across the field with the avOwed
purpose of numbering his wife's father and
mother. Before he could accomplish this,
however, the wounded young lady had
made her way to the village and notified
the inhabitants of what had happened, and
they had congregated for resistance.
Seeing that his plan was frustrated, Pur-
pie hastened to Jetmore and surrendered
himself to the authorities, where he was
placed in Jail, surrounded by heavy guard.
Last night a. mob of 100 men went in
quietly to the Jail and demanded the prison.
er, who was delivered up with little cere-
mony. He was then taken back to the
scene of his crime and hanged to tree.
Only one member of the family escaped
serious injury, and that was the murderer's
little boy, who had hid under his bed when
he heard his father coming.

day, it Is our candid belief that there Is a
better and deeper spirituality pervading the
church than ever before in its history; that it
is doing more good work for God and
man than ever before; that there are moro
devoted men and women in its membership
than ever before; that there is more intelli
gence and more intelligent piety than ever
before; that there is broader appreciation of
the principles of Christ than ever before, and
that the church has more influence and power
upon the world than ever before. Believing
this, we have no patience with scolding
preacher, whose impatience and thoughtless-
ness minimize his own work and cripple the
work Of his society, and we have nothing but
hearty contempt for such ribald stuff as

roll ISLANDERS upon the church as sweet morsels
