The Kansas City Timer is most re-

little ambitious town Of st. Paul and
Omaha may have done, Wichita never
made the Pennsylvania car builders any
offer, fattering or otherwise. Wichita

Another view OF 1t.
A Party that don't monkey ~''~
ephemeral Issues.
Huntington Advertiser:

Huntington Advertiser:
The Republican politician in t,nis
State are badly ratified over the
prospect of Prohibition ticket in
the field next year. The Wheeling
Intelligencer and other papers are
laboring to prevent third ticket.
They are trying to convince the
Prohibs that it is against the inter-
est of the Amendment to raise a
separate State ticket. So far as
Democrats are concerned it is mat
ter of Indifference to them whether
the Prohibitionists have ticket of
their own or not. The Democratic
party has never monkeyed with this
movement or made any alliances
with, or promises to its leaders.
1t has kept right along in the even
tenor of it's way advocating the
principles of its great founder,
Thomas Jefferson, continually
growing stronger in the confidence
and affections of the people, and is
not dependent for success upon
ephemeral issues or shifty devices.
If the Prohibitionists are in earn
est and are actuated by principle
and expect to control the legisla-
tion of the country, they must have
their own separate organization
and place their own ticket in the
field.

What Drink Will Do.
"Watch me Shoot That Coom."

Fort SMITH, Ark, April 49,
Thursday afternoon J. G. Hulsey
and T. J. Hunt left this city in a
wagon for their homes in the Choc-
taw nation. They were accompan-
led by small boy, and had laid in a
supply of whisky, of which they
imbibed very freely, and grew bois-
ferrous, swinging their pistols over
their heads and yelling. About
four miles out they frightened a
lot of children by threatening to
shoot them.
When about a mile from town
they were passing house on the
porch of which were two colored
women and a boy about four years
old. One of the men said: "Watch
me shoot that coon," and raising his
pistol he fred at the child. The
ball entered his back, passing en-
tirely through the body. They then
drove about two miles further on
and camped by the roadside, and
here at 2 o'clock they we're found
and arrested by Deputy Marshal
]. B. Lee, who brought them in,
and they are now in Jail.

Tire May Century.

Mr.. George KEENAN, will tell in
the May Century how he came to 60
to Siberia on the Century expedi-
ton. Mr.. KEENAN, had spent some
time in Siberia already in connec-
tion with the overland telegraph
scheme, and in the summer of 1884
he made preliminary excursion
to St. Petersburg and Moscow for
the purpose of collecting materials,
and ascertaining whether or not
obstacles were likely to be thrown
in his way by the Russian Govern
ment. He returned in October,
fully satisfied that his scheme was
a practical one. He therefore sail
ed from New York for London in
May, 1885. He says: "All my pre-
possessions were favorable to the
Russian Government and unfavor-
able to the Russian Revolution
lists" He adds that this partly
explains the friendly attitude to-
ward me which was taken by the
Russian Government, the permits
sion which was given me to in
spect prisons and mines, and the
comparative immunity from arrest,
detention, and imprisonment, which
( enjoyed, even when my move
ments and associations were such
as justly to render me an object of
suspicion to the local Siberian au-
thorlties."

Why Do re Bow to the yokAf


In most Of our cities the majority
of our municipal officers are either
liqeohsellers or else closely affilia-
ted with the liquor power. Ii any
ether single business interest-the
iron business, the railroad business,
the dry goods business-undertook
to control our government we
would rise up and put it down with
heavy hand but the rum-sellers
rule us,smile serenely as they heap
on our shoulders the burdens of
taxations, and the loads Of degra-
dation. For this abject vassalage to
the liquor oligarchy there are two
reasons-the eagerness to get gain
and the madness of partisanship.

 Shortly after 7 o'clock last evening two boys, Fred Abel and Louis Garfield, saw flames darting from the windows of the United States Coach Lamp Co., on Water street. The Lamp Co. is on the second floor, and below is the Yale Safe and Iron Co. They quickly gave notice to No. 7 en- zine house, where the alarm was sounded. The fire first started in the japan room, which is next to the office and in the center of the second floor. The building, which extends some 134 feet back, was almost gut ted, the loss and especial set back to the business being in the lamp room. The damage is estimated at about $3, 900 and is covered by policies in the Springfield Insur- ance Co.,, the Niagara Insurance Go. and the Philadelphia Insurance Go. The company procured their policies from the agencies of John G. North and Cannon & Burton. Dense volumes of smoke were rolling from the win dows and doors when the engines arrived, and it was nearly half hour before the fire department had the fire under control.
