that if he visited the infected house
that day he would not be permitted to
enter any other house in town that
night. He was compelled to stay in
Bushong that night, as there was no

He told them that there could be no
danger in mis- going anywhere, for he
would disinfeet himself thoroughly
after visiting the patient. But they
wouldn't listen to him. He had their
ultimatum and must govern himself
accordingly. Seeing how intense the
feeling was, and how panic-stricken

To the Woman Of Yanaas.


Mrs Laura M. Johns, president K.
E. S. A. has written a circular to the
women voters of Kansas, apprising
| them of their duties in the spring
municipal elections. She says:
Our municipal elections viii be held
this year in cities of the first and Sec
ond class on april End; in cities of the
| third class ON April 1St, and those
dates seem long way off now, but
they'll be here doubtless before we are
fully ready for them. Many of the
failures of women to elect candidate
| of their choice or to. carry certain
measures in the two municipal cleo
tions in which women have partici-
pated. were the inevitable consequence
of beginning late with the preparatory
| work. 1t is time now to begin to
make plans for the coming election and
to devise means for putting those plans
| into execution.
She cautions her sister women to
exercise care and judgement in the Sc
lection of candidates and tellsthem that
something more than good morals are
necessary to qualify man for Office.
He must have force, execution, ability
and practical business knowledge, as
well. She does not favor a woman IS
ticket as opposed to a mans ticket in
in city elections. and advises the
women and men voters to combine in
the cause of right and juseice.

TOSSED THE BABY ON KNIVES.
An Alabama Mother Tormented and
Her House Burned Before Her Eyes.

A special from Lafayette Ind, records a
crime in Tallapoosa county that has rarely been
surpassed in its horrible details. 1t seems that
while Mr.. Albert Smith and his three eldes.
children had gone some miles to church five
colored men approached the house and asked
Mrs. Smith to give them something to eat. On
being refused they went into the house and,
learning that there was no one at home but
Mrs. Smith and her little babe, forced her into
the yard and began ransacking the house.
After appropriatng all that they could find in
the way of money and valuables they set fire to
the house and added horrors to the terrible
scene by forcing the distracted woman to wit
ness the most brutal Of fiendish deeds, which
was the tossing of her little baby in the air and
letting it fall back almost on the point Of sharp
knives which they held under it. The brutes
finally needed the frantic womans entreaties
and went away, leaving her with nothing to
greet the return of her horrOr-stricken husband
and children but her half-dead babe and
smouldering heap of Goals where was, only a
few hours before, their home. People for
miles around have been searching the country
for the villains and at last accounts three of
the men had been captured.

Bismarck's Private Secretary.

From London Letter to the Birmingham Post
Prince Bismarck's private secretary Herr
Won Rottenberg) has just left London after a
stay of weeks duration. His visit was a
mournful one, being occasioned by the death
of his young and beautiful wife. The bereave-
ment was so sudden and unexpected that Herr
Won Rottenberg, summoned from Friedrichsruh
where he was staying with Bismarck, was COM
PEELED to leave at a moments notice. The loss
Of this highly gifted lady will be sew erely felt
at Berlin. AS an English woman she was much
looked up to by the members Of the English
society of the capital. Much dissidence and
many Misunderstanding have been avoided by
her timely interference. She was considered
among the most intellectual and accomplisi ned
women IN the society surrounding the chan
cellor.
Herr Won Rottenberg, who is sometimes in
trOduced by Bismarck to foreign diplomatists
as his right hand, while he facetiously adds
that he keeps his right arm for himself, owes
the high position he enjoys entirely to his own
genius and the keen perception of the prince,
by whom it was discovered. Count Herbert
had been a college chum Of Herr Won Rotten
berg and had maintained friendly cor
respondence in after life. One day Prince
Bismarck, on finding on his sons desk bro
chure entitled IAN Ideal State" put it in his
pocket curious to see the subject of Count
Herbert's studies. The chancellor was delighted
on perusing the work and inquired with much
interest concerning the author. On learning
that he was engaged in commercial pursuits
much against his wishes, his taste being wholly
devoted to science and literature, the prince
Immediately exclaimed: Then let him come
to US. The author of that brochure is just the
man wanted in our chancelerie; just the man
/ should like to consult; the man to give valu-
able advice in state difficulties. Write to him
at once" This was done. Young Rottenberg
eagerly accepted the offer and deserted his
uncle's counting house with delight, although
warned by his friends that the post would be a
hard one

One Of the strangest Of stories touching tie

In so far as the creation of man goes the
