Bad Runaway.

: This morning as w. o. Curry and
Sidney Best were starting to the coun-
try north east of town. on some bust
ness. they accidently found James
Doyle, lying by the road side, opposite
East lake, apparently badly hurt.
When questioned as to how he came to
be lying there, he said, that about
O'Clock last night he started home
from town, after selling load of pro-
duce. In crossing the M. K. s. 7.
track something about the wagon
broke, and scared the horses, causing
them to rum away. Opposite McCar-
tvs place Mr.. Doyle was thrown
from the wagon, and knocked
senseless. When he became conscious,
he called for help till he was hOarse
but no one came. He lay there all
night suffering terribly with his back
which was injured.
About daylight some boys came
along and MIR. Doyle asked them tC
call some one to his assistance, but
they went away without doing so
Shortly after o'clock Messrs. Curry
and Best found the injured man and
took him to his farm northeast OF
town. The team had not been founC
at the last accounts. MIR. Doyle's in
juries though not fatal, are quite pain
full, and may lay him up for some time

In looking for a man~to down the big
fellow, Kilrain was chosen. He was
known to be a champion of rare physi-
cal powers, of much science in fsti-
cuffs, of wide experience, considerable
intelligence and great GOODNESS in the
ring.
Yet when both men showed
up in the ring yesterday, a
glance at them showed how the
fight must end. Kilrain whose
skin was pallid, wore pinched and
scared look, while the big fellow,
when he threw of his mantle, showed
a skin pinkish in color and appeared
| jaunty and confident as though 1.-THE
fight was only six penny affair of no
consequence.
From the beginning the fight was
one sided. KiIrain ran or fell just as
Mitchell did, to avoid the terrible
smashers aimed at him. His hackers
say he was whipped in the third round
but his pluck and defensive tactics
kept him in the ring until the seven

sewerage QeestiOn Discussed.

At called meeting of the council
last evening several of our most enter
priZing citizens were present, anxious
to know the result of Mr.. Burns obser-
vations, in regard TO the kind W.
erage best suited to Emporia. The
plan suggested by Mr.. Bum, and the
one most favorably received by the
citizens, was as follows: A main
would be run from the river up to
Fourth avenue, at a point between Ex-
change and Union street; thence along
said avenue to point between State
and Neosho street, total distance of
about two and oDe-half or three-quarter
miles, at an actual cost of
about $4,000. The cost of
laterals connecting with this
main would be built from taxes levied
on the abutting property, and only
built as it was required or as the res
idents desired. The mayor and coun-
Gil were somewhat conservative in their
views, showing that they are anxious
to have the wish of the people carried
out in regard to the question Of sew
GRACE.
The business men present discussed
the matter freely, and were almost in
variably in favor of good system of
sewerage being contracted for. No
direct action was taken in the matter,
but il is still under consideration.

A Kansas Congressman Talks AbOut
The CherOkee StrIn.


Congressman Perkins held the follow
ing language to Washington reporter
the other day. concerning the situa-
ton in the Cherokee Strip. and what is
proposed to be done about it. He said:
81 am by no means pleased with the
outlook in this regard. being satisfied
that Chief Mayes and his colleagues
are wholly under the influence of the
cattle syndicates. My idea is that he
will not convene the Cherokee council
until just before the assembling Of con-
gress. If congress shall be convened in
extra session in October then the Cher
okee council will be convened few
days previously, but not in time to ar
rive at any conclusion so that the COM
mission may report intelligently. The
same play win be adopted whether
congress is convened in October or No
vember, or does not meet until the reg
ular time in December. This ma
neuver is simply a cheap deYice or
trick on the part of the cattle syndi-
Gates and Chief Mayes TO refute the
possible charge that they conspired to
prevent the assembling of the Cherokee
council. The scheme of the opponents
Of the proposed negotiations for the
session of the strip is deeply laid. One
Of the arguments used by Chief
Mayes is that inasmuch as the
cattle syndicate openly offers 81

"Fine? 1 don't think so,' said the

the idea of putting up a woman, any
woman, on such an occasion. 1t is a
part of the general craze or fad now so
prevalent in many places. Women do
very well indoors, as readers, recita-

only men of strong voice can success

IT is said that the Persian minister,
Hadji Hassan Ghooly Kahn has recon-
sidered his determination to leave the
country because of the filings Of the
American press at his august master,
the Shah. That is very sensible in
GhOoly. He must know by this time
that American newspapers have way
of their own of criticising public Off
Gals, whether at home or abroad, that
is not found elsewhere. Their char
ter for it rests in the fundamental law
of the land. Doubtless Colonel Ghooly
or his master would hang every I'M
feeling editor who spoke lightly Of the
Shah, if caught it Persia. But as
things are managed differently over
here, the best that can be done is to
laugh at it and hit back.

AROUT IRRIGATION.

The senate committee on reclama-
nation of arid lands talks of starting
this week for st. Paul TO investigate
the question of irrigation in the west.
The scheme contemplates the build
ing of dams in the arid regions, and
the storing of water in great Teser-
voirs for irrigating purposes over a
wide area of territory. This calls to
mind a conversation had lately with a
prominent Kansas gentleman, of wide
travel and close observation in the
west and in Mexico, on the subject of
irrigation. He is familiar with, it and
said that irrigation for farming pur-
poses does not and cannot pay. 1t
costs to much, and calls for two much
labor. For small grain it is impracti-
cable. Only in market gardens in
nurseries or other special lines of
agriculture can it be successfully en-
ployed. The chief gamers from it are
the stock companies who build the
canals and levy water tax on the
farmer.
While it is probably true that it is
Improbable now, conditions may
change in the coming years, and i'm
provements be made in the manner of
supplying water to the agriculturalist
such as will make it remunerative.
AT any rate it is we'll for the govern
ment to inquire into the feasibility of
the idea and gather data such as will
enable the law Ulakeas to give the mat
ter due consideration. An area as
large as dozen western states can be
brought under cultivation and homes
made for untold thousands, if the
scheme can be made practicable.

acre Is wholly out of proportion

The absurdity of this Argument is ap-
parent when the fact is known that no
party other than the government can
treat with the Indian tribes for the
cession Of their lands. The cattlemen
may as well have offered 500 per acre,
for they and Chief Mayes fully knew
that under the law no such negotia-
lions could be perfected. But, never
theless, ignorant Cherokees may not
realize this proposition and listen to
this argument as reason why the gov

THE question of royal grants to
couple of daughters of the Prince of
Wales will soon be sprung on the Brit
ish parliament. Labouchere, Brad
laugh and the radicals generally will
jump on it with both feet, of
course, and squib it numerically, but
the allowance will be made all the
same. The English are still welded
to royalty. The crown is yet a gilt
tering fetch that receives their will
ng homage. Tradition auld lang syne,
the love of ceremony, of
gorgeous display of cOronets,
heralds, coats of arms and
all the frippery and foppery of royalty,
binds the great majority of them in
steadfast loyaltyto the throne. They
love to toadY, and hence cannot get on
without those appurtenances of roy
atty, lords, dukes and earls. Royalty
does nothing, earns nothing
makes nothing, has nothing but what
is gwen to it. 1t is purely ornamental
and has been supported as such in
Great Britain for thousand years and
more, and on far more extravagant
scale than at present. The desire to
have it still, implies of course
the intention to support and main.
tain it with becoming dignity. When
that cannot be done, royalty is at ar
end. There will be some kicking and
haggling, perhaps, but the allowances
will be made. 1t comes rather higl
but royalty must be supported.

THE tariff on coal is 75 cents a
ton, laid to protect the workingman.
Over in Illinois the mine owners pro-
pose to pay the protected miners only
20 cents a ton A simple arithmetical
calculation will show that but for the
tariff on coal, the miners would be
compelled to pay the mine owners 5
cents a ton for the privilege of digging
coal for them. This proves the bene-

Accidens Caused by CarIesness.

Last Thursday while Fred Rima,
Gilchrist's baggage man was loading
some heavy trunks in his wagon at the
NJ. K. & T. depot, he met with a very
painful accident. IN lifting large
trunk to the wagon he stepped on part
of a peach which some careless person
had left lying on the platform, his foot
slipped and he was thrown to the
ground. In the fall his left leg WAS
broken between the knee and ankle.
AS Mr.. Rima is large man, weighing
fully three hundred pounds, it will be
some time before he can be out again.
This careless habit so many people
have of throwing, banana, peach and
orange peel on the sidewalks and
platforms, is the cause of many painful
accidents. which could be easily pre-
vented. If the careless ones were the
ones to suffer it would probably cure
them of the habit, but it always hap.
pens that they are the lucky ones in
such cases.
