That's Good; Do it Some More.

That's Good; Do II Some More.
From the salina Republican.
| The E. S. A. of Salina, have evidently
declared war on Mr.. Murdoch, of the
Wichita EAGLE. They have custom OF
responding to roll call with apt quota
lions and here is one of the responses at
the last meeting:
Have you heard the Murdoch '!Sea Gulf'
Send forth its wall of woe?
Fearing, trembling, signing, wishing
For the days of long ago,
When the women all kept silent
On the question of reform,
Never asking for ballot;
Never daring men to scOrn-
Though their deeds were dark as midnight
And their hearts were callous worn.
Never holding mock conventions,
That of all thing is the worst.
That's the straw that kills the Camel
Makes the Murdoch Sea GULF burst
Into loud and fearful screeching
Walls of sorrow and of woe
For the women who Kept Silent
In the days of long ago.
Why should seeking for enlightment
On the question of the laws,
Under which we live and labor
Makes the ''Sea Gull" show his clawss
Why? Because he knows the meaning
OF this movement we propose,
Knows i'll knowledge there Is power
And in ignorance are woes.
Ali poor Sea Gull'' keep on screeching,
Till your throat you burst in twain,
Equal Suffrage soon is coming
Then We'll pay you back again.

ASSUMPTION AND AUTHORITY.

In the case of the Kansas Home Insur
ance company VS.. ID. w. Wilder, superin-
tendent OF insurance, Judge Guthrie held
that the superintendent does not exercise
official discretion, but must issue certifi-
Gates upon given state of facts. This
may be sound ruling from a legal stand
point, but the equity of the case, as far as
the interests OF the people are concerned.
is clearly on the superintendent side

John Guthrie is a good Judge. and
upright and honest in his opinions. But
he brought with him to Kansas the In
diana theory that judges can exercise al
most unlimited control over the acts of
executive officers. The courts of Indi-
ana have always maintained this theory.
In about half dozen other states the
courts assume and exercise similar pow
ers over the executive departments. But
in three-fourths or more of the states of
the union the decisions of the courts
sustain the opposite theory, and the su-
preme court of the state of Kansas is in
accord with the large majority of the
states. Judge Guthrie's Indiana educa-
ton and training is responsible for his
numerous decisions affirming his own
authority TO control or review the ac-
tons Of the executive department, but
the supreme court of this state has al
most uniformly reversed him.-Atchison

had no better success in the latter than
they have in the former there would be
little or no change perceptible. On the
other hand, if they SHOULD make such

results as are now promised to the rem
nant who are SO engaged, the only
chance to save the crops would be to just
build roof over the state.

Emporia Republican
Colonel Marsh Murdoch has got into
a muss with the woman suffragists Of
Salina, and the fair creatures are pepper
ing him at lively rate. Their last as
sault is in the form of poem, in which
they call Marsh ''sea-gull' and tell him
to go on screening till he explodes his
neck, or words to that effect. The Sa-
lima ladies doubtless possess an abund-
ance of able-bodied gray matter, but
they make mistake when they choose
verse as weapon with which to fight
Colonel Murdoch. They certainly have
never read his famous ode on II am

poesy the colonel can down any Salina

What Could That Fourth Ore BE?

There is a very nice young lady in
Washington who has a way of Kidding
herself of bores to be commended for
uniqueness at least. She tells the tire
some party story; then a second; if tie
second doesn't start him, the third one is
almost sure to. In case that fails the
fourth never missed its man. She calls
them her "Undertaker Series" They are

The second runs as follows: A New
England gentleman went to Florida in
the last stages Of consumption, fingered
a few months and passed away. bis be-
reaved widow telegraphed home: John

PRETENDED CHRIST eAMROOZLING
NEGROES.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. July 9.-Bell, the
Ohio crank, who has been posing as Christ
among the negroes on the rice plantations
ON the banks of the Savannah river, and
who was tried for lunacy week or 50 ago
and liberated although adjudged a
lunatic, is raising cain among the
negroes. His followers fall down
on thsir hands and knees when
ever he approaches and their numbers are
increasing every day. They say they are
preparing for the march to Canaan, where
their Christ is to lead them next month.
He has told them that he has sent for
carload of angels wings for his followers
and expects the cargo every day. 1t is
difficult to believe, but it is, the
truth that the negroes are f1ocking to him
from all directions, leaving their homes,
crops and ali their belongins to follow him
to the promised land. Farmers are IN
able to get help and in some instances
plantations are said to have been aband-
oned. Bell tells them that there is no
need to work, as he is going TO lead them
to the promised land. There is talk Of
lynching him.

THIEVES WORSTED.
A Tough Killed While Burglariging a
House at 0lathe

OLATHE, Kan, July 9.-Early this morn
ing two Kansas City burglars, John
Chambers and John Chesser. entered the
house of Ed Hyatt, farmer living ten
miles north of here, through the window
of the sleeping room Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hyatt The noise aroused Mr.. Hyatt and
drawing his revolver he fired three shots
in quick succession at the burglars. Chess
er fed through the window, but Cham
bers sprang to the bed and attempted to
wrest the revolver from Mr.. Hyatt's hand.
A struggle ensued and the two men tum-
bled about the floor until they finally burst
through the kitchen door. Chambers by this
time had gained possession of the weapon
and pointed it at the PROSTATE Hyatt,
when his wife, who had arisen during the
struggle. felled the burglar to the ground
by a blow on the head with walking
stick. Lights were then procured and it
was found that three shots fired by Hyatt
had taken effect in the body of the pros
trate burglar, one in the arm, one in the
leg and one in the stomach. From the lat
ter wound the burglar died this evening.
