A TERRIBLE KICK
From a Vicious Stallion Kills
w. A. Pray of EldOradO.

A gentleman who came up from
Eldorado yesterday gives the particu
lars of the death of Mr.. w. A. Pray
a few days ago of the Pray farm near
Eldorado and who was known to sew
eral residents of this city.
1t seems he and his father-in-law
M. P,mberton and Mr.. Geary, OF
EIdorado, had purchased eight head
of horses from Lexington, Ill. Six OF
them were stations and two filleys.
Mr.. Geary came with the Car OF
horses, and arrived at Nevada early
in the evening. Arrangements had
been made by Mr.. Pray, during the
day. to stable the animals at McRay
Bros stable in Nevada.
On the arrival of the car a tele-
phone MASSAGE called Mr.. Pray and
NJ. Pemberton and James Pemberton
to the stock yards. They solicited w.
d. Mckay to accompany them and
took him with them.
The three large stations were taken
of and Mr.. McRay took one, Mr..
Geary one and Mr.. Pray another.
The two Messrs. Pemberton remained
at the pens with the other ANIMALS
while the large stations were started
for the stable. Mr.. Pray was in the
lead with the large black Norman.
The animal showed considerable life
and Pray was constantly talking to
him on the way up town, and prais-
ing it for its beauty and fine action.
At two different times on the way the
animal took fright and SHE'D.
While in front of the Duck block
Mr.. Pray's horse SHE'D at the waves
of the electric light, reared up and
jumped to one side. The sudden lunge
jerked MIR. Pray off his balance and
towards the horse. The animal made
another lunge, drawing the halter rein
through Pray's hand to the button,
and then jerked him down and dragged
him south to the street railway track,
where he lay on his face. Here the
animal reared up and made three
vicious kicks, the last one striking
Mr.. Pray on the head.
When Mr.. Pray fell, it appeared as
if coat had fallen from the horse,
and bystanders did not know it was
the form of a man, until after the
animal had struck him the fatal blow
with bis ponderous hind foot,
When the horse had freed himself,
he went few steps away, then turned
as If he would again 60 over his
victim, but went to the other horse
in a perfectly docile manner.
Those who went to Pray's assist
ance, found him with his head and
shoulders lying across the street rail-
way track, face downward, and al
most buried in the fresh gravel. He
was scarcely breathing when they
went to him and turned him over.
Then he began to show signs of life
and they carried him into the office of
Hotel Mitchell and thence to the
sample room, where better attention
could be given him. He breathed
harder then, but showed no other
signs of life, and being taken to the
residence of his father-in.lam, in Ne
vada. died Tuesday morning. The
funeral took place yesterday.

An Old Soldier.

Sergeant Green. of Company A,
10Th Infantry, of San Antonio. Tex,
passed through here to-day en- route
to Washington. ID. G. He has with
him Private Marion Mercer, of Com
pany A, consigned to the Soldiers
Home at that point. Mercer in 1862
joined the 18th New York, and
served until the war closed. He has
been in service ever since, and for
nineteen years has been a private IF
the 10th Infantry. His tJtsl term of
service was twenty-six years. FOul
months ago he was stricken with par
alysis, and under advice of the med.
ical adviser for this department was
billed to the Washington Homo.
Mercer is old, white-hairei, bent and
trembling, a mere wreck of man
without a hope, ambition or care
in the world save to die somewhere in
comfort. II is believed that be was orig
inally from New York, but he has been
so long in the army, beaten about
from pillar to post, and serving his
time first at one frontier point then at
another. that all reliable records have
been lost. He bears fair character
among his army associates, and seems
to have been sober, clearly and gener-
ally anxious to please. He furnished
a splendid example of the result of
more than a quarter of a century's
service in the ranks of Uncle Sans
standing force.

THE WHISKY ISSUE IN MISSOURI.

The Jefferson City special to the Kan
sas City Times says that the expressions
of Governor Morehouse in his message
in regard to the temperance question
have provoked good deal of comment.
Remembering that Missouri is a Demo
cratic state and that the retiring governor
is an out-and-out Democrat, there is no
wonder that the Democratic politicians
should be stirred up by such declara-
tons as these:
| firmly believe that the influence of
the dram-shop is demoralizing to the
community in which it is located, and
sh0uld be reduced to the lowest possible
limit
The question of how to prohibit the
sale and limit the use Of Intoxicating
liquors to the smallest possible compass
has received the careful consideration of
former legislatures, and will doubtless
be urged for your consideration during
the present session. No question that
has agitated the public mind in the past
fifty years has received more attention
than this, and the results have been var
ioUS, and, for the most part, unsatlsfac-
tory. As much as it may be desired, no
state has yet solved the question of how
absolute prohibition can be maintained.
That much good has been accomplished
all will admit. and l trust the good work
may go on until the principles Of true
temperance and good morals will prevail
IN every community in our land.

The chamber of commerce of Fort

pose of discussing the situation and for

pedient to hurry up the opening of the

knowledges the receipt Of a personal let
ter from the secretary, i'll which the
hope is expressed that Wichita's board Of

tary Hunton closes his letter with the
following words:
This meeting will be the most impor-
tant yet held on this subject, not only in
in the large number of cities represented
and the material in their delegations, but
in its probable effect on legislation by
the present congress. Wichita, as a
large supply point for this region, is di-
rectly interested in this movement, and
we are anxious that it should have a
strong delegation present. Your board
of trade has been invited to send repre-
sentatlves and we would esteem it highly
if you would editorially second our eff
forts to secure a delegation commensur-
ate i'll size with the interest Wichita
should feel in the question and the bene-
fits TO be derived from its solution. We

OKLAHOMA AND ITS PROSPECTS.

To the Editor Of the EAGLE
Allow lamb who has had such ex-
perience in The Oklahoma business that
he now feels fairly shorn, a few words.
The fact is that the Springer bill, while
eminently fair in all its provisions, will
not be formulated into a law by the
congress now in session. And for two
pass the house, the senate will not have
sufficient time to act upon it between
that time and the close of the session
Second, if by chance it should get
through the senate, his supreme majesty
Grover Cleveland, will not approve it.
Mr.. Cleveland's knowledge OF the United
States outside of New York and perhaps
New Jersey, is very limited, or, to say
the least, an unknown quantity. Beside,
he is pig headed Heretofore he has OPP
status of affairs in the territory, and
having taken a position on that line once
a double set of patent jack screws would
not move him from it.
Neither Will ''Pawnee Bill" with his
aurora-tinted soap locks open the prom
ised land. He may attempt to play a
small pattern of a modern Moses, but if
he does he will not even the climb the
heights Of modern Pisgah.
The first session of the Fiftv-frst con-
gress will settle the Oklahoma question,
and III manner satisfactory to all-In-
dian and white man. The idea has at
last obtained among some political lead
ers of our own state that the so-called
Cherokee nation does not own the entire
Indian Territory and that it has same
rights and no more than the other So
called civilized tribes. For years and
years the Cherokees, controlled by their
half and quarter breeds, descendants of
white tramps from the neither of Scot
land, the boys of Ireland and the fad
der land" have insisted and made il APP
pear to the outside world that they were
the only persons to be taken into consid-
Grafton when matters relating to the ter
ritory came up. The Creeks, Choctaws
and Seminoles are now beginning to as
sert their rights, having wearied Of sub
uniting to the dictation of the half,
quarter and eighth breed Cherokees. 1t
will, therefore, readily bel seen that in
discussion or action ON the Oklahoma
problem, other influence than those fo5-
tered by the Cherokee nation will pre-
vail. ". B. HUTCHINSON.

4 GREAT SCANDAL.

Kansas has had no political scandal for
years. but the Democratic papers came
out Sunday morning in a charge that
Governor Martin administration of the
state penitentiary is not only crooked
but awful corrupt Governor Martin
lately pardoned a convict by the name
of Thurston who was sent TO the peni-
tertiary for trying to kill Col. D. f.
Anthony. The expose, as we understand
it, comes through this man. It is
charged that Warden Smith and the
directors and Keller of Leavenworth and
other friends of Governor Martin have
been running the contract and supply
business at the penitentiary in their own
interest. especially in the matter of coal
mined and sold by the state and in the
supplying of lumber. The Kansas CITY
Times roars and snorts with double
loaded. scare-headed articles over the
matter, all of which is not particularly
startling. 1t is said further that Senator
Billy Buchan ''smelt mice" and forced
the combination TO ''come down" with
handsome sum of hush money. DR..
krohn. the editor OF the Governors paper,
is also. mixed up to the extent that he
handled some of the margins or slush.
It is charged that an enormous sum
total was pocketed by the parties to the
conspiracy or deal.
The whole matter is a very important
one in that some of the parties charged
admit things that win render an in
vesrigation necessary. We can only
hope, for the sake of the Republican
party and the state OF Kansas. that such
investigation viii show that there was
no wrprr or attempted wrong.

English Election Methods.

In England the election laws compel
successful candidates IN applying for
certificates Of election a sworn statement
of all money expended in the canvass,
itemized and with vouchers. The En-
glish law names certain maximum ex-
penditure as legitimate and specifies the
purpose, as room rent, postage, clerk
hire. etc., for which it is legitimate
The different methods of bribery and in
f1uenclng votes by the use of money are
prescribed and prohibited, and the candi-
date who by himself or his az ent vio-
lates the prohibitions loses his seat and
incurs disqualification for stated period.
The New York Evening Post estimates
that the expenses for an English parlia-
mentary election were reduced under
this law from So, 100000 to $4,000 00
As shown by the sworn returns of the
candidates and their agents, the amount
expended is below the maximum allowed
by law.
