Man Found With His Head Mashed

Arkansas Pass depot where the circus held
forth last night. and where it was said a
man lay dead, Upon reaching the spot,
the officer found young Mexican about
% years old laid out, in an unconscious

in most fearful condition.
The injured man was Immediately
transferred to the city hospital where DR..
Oldham attended to the wounds. 1t is
very doubtful if the man will ever re-
cover.
The mother and sister of the young
were sent for and are now attending to
him. The cause of the terrible deed is not
known, though robbery is thought to have
been motive as the wounds upon the
mans head have undoubtedly been made
by some soft blunt weapon.

THE Topeka Capital publishes the
following singular facts in regard to
the congressional elections of the past,
which the LIGHT commends to the
consideration of the democrats who
are wild with exultatlon:
"The Capital is well aware that the
chances are against US. To secure .
bare majority would be splendid
and rarely exampled endorsement Of
the administration. The even.num-
bered congresses have from time inn
memorial been an anti-administration
| color. A brief history of this singu-
larly uniform fact will be of interest
today.
In 1920 Monroe, a strict construc.
Zionist, and strict construction Sew
enteenth congress were elected. Two
years later a loose construction con-
gress was elected. In 1924 John Quin-
cy Adams, a WING, was chosen
president. The Goth congress, elected
two years later, was hostile to him.
In 1928 Jackson was elected, and
the 22d congress elected two years
later had q majority for his party
of single vote. The oath congress,
however, chosen two years after his
reelection, was for once In q way a
clear endorsement of the administre
ton. In 1886 Van Buren, was elected,
and the 26th congress two years later
showed an anti-ad ADMINISTRATION ma
jority, though the result was long
contested and the critical seats were
filled against the verdict of the pee
pie. In 1910 Harrison was elected,
and the 2Sth congress two years later
was Rgaln8 him. In 1874 Polk
was elected and had the same expe.
rience, an experience common to every
succeeding president up to the time OF
Lincoln. The 3Sth congress, elected
two years after the first election of
Lincoln. was republican, as was the
10th congress two years following his
second election. The 42d congress,
chosen two years after the first cleo
ton of Grant, was also republican,
but the 44th was democratic, as were
the 46th and ..48th. The 50th follow
ing two years after Cleveland's cleo
ton was democratic. q
1t thus appears that the reaction
against the party carrying the presi-
Dental election has been substan-
tally uniform, ruling in eleven out of
seventeen cases. In the six cases
wherein 1t did not rule the result in
three was due to the war feeling and
in two others was due to the popular
ity of Andrew Jackson.
