THE DECAY OF KANSAS.
Population Has Probably Fallen
100000 in Two Years.

Population Has Probably Fallen or
100000 in Two Years.
LAWRENCE, Kas.. July 25--No official
figures have yet been received upon which
any estimate of the population of Kansas
can be based. There is feeling every
where, however, that Kansas will not show
as great population as its friends antici-
pated, and those well-informed as to recent
and present conditions in the state calcu-
late that Kansas has lost ct least q couple
of hundred thousand in the past two
years.
The census of 1880 showed population
OF OCT, 096; state census taken in June,
1885, showed q population of 1,26S.362.
There is reason to believe that the present
population will not be far from these fig
ures. 1t is very probable that the popula-
ton of Nebraska will be about the same as
that Of Kansas. but some of the Nebraskans
are claiming 1,500 600.
Any reports that the population of Kan
sas will fall below / 900 900 are as yet I'M
founded, for no official figures upon which
such an estimate can be based have vet
been examined, and the indications are that
Kansas will not have less than 1,250, 900
people returned by the present census.
While there is no official date obtainable
at Washington, straws like the following
speak louder than words: Salina lost from
1885 to 1880 3,007: during the same period
Abilene lost 1866; Concordia, 545; Clay
Center, $3.50; Beloit, $50; Minneapolis,
1888; Washington, sol; Norton, 719.
These towns in 1885 had total population
of So, 132. In 1890 they had total popula-
ton of q, PSI, or loss of TO- $751; If this ratio
holds approximately over half the state it
is easy to be seen that Kansas will not
have as many representatives in the next
congress as was anticipated. This falling
off is considered due to the Oklahoma rush
and the bad crops in Western Kansas.

SISTERS OF GOOD SHEPHERD.
A Home Tor Fallen Women to be Estab.
lfshed.

If4hoQs
About three months ago number of Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherd came here from
81. Paul to make engagements for estab-
fishing branch of their order in this city
and opening home for fallen women and
unfortunate girls. After making preiimin-
airy arrangements they returned to St
Paul.
Yesterday q mother provincial and
seven choir sisters arrived from the home
of the order in ST. Paul to establish the
community here. They will Immediately
commence their work of charity, which, for
the present. must necessarily be limited,
owing to the lack Of Recommendation.
Until permanent building can be pro-
vided the community will occnpy the large
residence adjoining Grace hospital. The
sisters hope that the charitable public win
soon recognize their work and aid them in
erecting suitable building.
The work of the sisters viii be primarily
to lead fallen women, and more particularly
Young girls who have been led astray. int
paths OF rectitude and 20 provide them
with homes where their nohler passions
viii be inspired. They viii also establish
an orphanage and day school.

another 'orIgInal-Package Decision.
AUGUSTA, Me-, May 3O.-The Supreme
Court yesterday announced a decision
in the Burns liquor case, reversing tho
decision of the lower court. which con-
vlcted Burns under the statutes.
Burns, several years ago, opened in Au-
gusta an ''original-package' business,
selling only liquors, however, that were
imported from the provinces or other
countries, claiming that the State had
no right, under the United States Con-
stitution, to interfere with his business.
The case has been carried up step by
step until it is now decided in Burns
favor. The court says in part: The
Iowa case just decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States clearly set
ties the question. We are bound by
that decision to reverse the ruling be-
Low, and to sustain the law as contend
ed for by the respondent. The minor
ity opinion in the Iowa case is elabor-
ate and commends itself to many as
containing the better conclusion. Our
obedience is due to the Judgment which
prevails. Our statute prohibits only
unlawful sales. Its Interpretation must
be constitutional"

SWIFT RETRIBUTION,
Atrocious Murder of Merchant and
Lynching of the Murderer.

Atrocious Murder of Merchant and
Lynching of the Murderer.
LEXINGTON, Mo-, Aug. 3.-An atroeious
murder, the escape of the murderer, his ar
rest, confession of the crime and subse-
quent lynching are the elements of a
double tragedy that was enacted at May
view, ten miles south of here, to-day. Sher-
if Mitchell receive d telegram from May
view stating that H. F. Parker, merchant
of that place, had been murdered. The
sheriff and two deputies started tor the
scene of the crime. Upon their arrival they
went directly to Parker's store, where a
CHASTITY sight met their gaze. In pool OF
blood, behind the counter on the floor,
with the head nearly severed from the
body, lay the body of the dead man. The
M instrument used was plainly a revolver.
The motive for the crime was most likely
money, for the cash drawer was rif1ed, and
an examination of the clothes of Parker,
who was widower and slept in room
back of the store, showed that the pockets
had been turned inside out. Forty dollars
in cash and gold watch was found, which
would suggest that the murderer was fright
ened away before his object was accom-
plished DR.. Mcdonald arrived from Nav
view tonight and stated that negro named
William Walters had been arrested by Con-
stable Thomas Chinn for the murder OF

This decision was reached to-day after an

Mr.. Wilson assured Mr.. Butterworth that
he would get information which would be

AN OLD-TIMER.
Claims for Land in Yellowstone Park

Claims for Land in Yellowstone Park

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Aug. %.
R. Harr of Red Lodge, Mont, has
sent statement to both houses of congress
asking that he be paid for tract of land
in the Yellowstone Park which he claims
to have settled on in 1871 before the park
was set aside for park purposes.
MI. Harr has an interesting story. He
says ne went to the park from Bozeman
and settled seventy miles from any neigh
bors. His home was near the Mammoth
Hot Spring, which he says he discovered
and named. :
He did not know that congress was think
In OF setting aside this great tract for park
until after the act was passed or he would
have protested. The act. he thinks, was
put through in hurry. He believes he
had rights there which the government was
bound to respect and believes he has valid
claim on land which he would now not
sell Tor $50 000. Accordingly he wants con.
gress to do him justice -
