New Features or Our Modern Life.

LaZiness, with rare intervals of great
activity in war and hunting, is the
sum of the life of all savages. The
impulse created by want and intensified
by n cool climate, acted upon for sew
eral thousand years, brings the heredi-
tary habit of steady activity and indus
try. The early races liked to picture
heaven as place of lasting rest, while
we mOderns feel that heaven must be
state in which we can continue good
work. Each succeeding year makes
industry a larger element in human
life, and eminently so with the higher
races. We are carrying industry to
great lengths, practically doing away
with leisure. The restless European
and the still more restless American
seem to find no limit to the work they
are striving to do a hundred years
ago women who had a pecuniary indie
pendence seemed TO do nothing, but
to-day they write, work, read, take
great interest in public matters, and
lead lives of much activity. Ours is
indeed an industrial age-an age in
which our work, aided by machinery,
enables us to live better, to accomplish
more for ourselves and others than
ever before. BY habit, industrial ac-
tivity may be destined to become the
highest worldly pleasure which hui
mainly can enjoy. The new environ
ment is certainly changing the activi-
ties, let us hope for the better, of the
entire human family. Pullman. sLH)

Some Odd Ideas OF Crime.

Did you ever stop to think of the alb
surdity of this thing we call crime
against society? Some one breaks
into your house, steals your money,
the savings of years, and leaves you
helpless. Or some one gets you to in
dorse his note, leaves you to pay it,
and ruins YOU financially This is
called an offense against society, the
man is dangerous and must be punished
and restrained He is sent to prison
for twenty years-so as to give him
ample time to repent-set to work,
and the proceeds of his labor taken by
society. Where are you? You are
really the one against whom the
offense was committed-you are the
only sufferer. Why, then, not let the
earnings of his labor go to reimburse
you? That seems so simple a rule OF
Justice that the wonder is idiots, let
alone lawgivers, have not seen it long
since. But they haven't, and they
won't as long as we allow men who
live by teaching such stuff to do our
thinking and lawmaking for us. Even
a savage, barbarian. knows better
than this. This crime against society"
is like the old fiction of "a sin against
God" You go to hell for one and to
the penitentiary for the other, when
in fact the only "crime' committed is
against the man who suffers the injury,
and the only sin committed is against
our fellow-man who suffers.-Kdnsds

Tho Best Treatment for Those AFFLICTED
with Criminal Symptoms.
In recent times the idea has become
very prevalent among certain class of
6entimcntalists that crime is not an in
dication of innate dcpravity, but
q symptom of mental and physical
disease, or an inheritance from
somo criminal ancestor, and, there-
fore, the much-abused murderer or rob-
Der is not a bad man, but only an UNI
fortunate one, deserving of pity and
care rather than punishment. A sick
man, they say, ought not to DO impriS-
oned, and ono who is staggering under
q load of homicidal tendencies be-
queathed to him by his grandfather is
not worthy of death, even if he docs oc-
casionally send some of his less unfortu-
nate fellow-beings into the next world.
A man physically and mentally sound is
less likely to commit criminal acts than
one with diseased body or abnormal
mental action, and the history Of the
notorious Jukes family proves beyond
question. that from q single criminal
ancestor may spring long line of de-
scendants, q majority of whom will DO
enemies to the welfare of society. But,
granting that tendency to crime may
be inherited, it must originate somc-
where, and if a mans ancestor may have
been a spontaneous criminal, as it were,
another man Of the present day may
also be laying up, on his own RESPONSE
bility, a heritage of crime for his unborn
descendants. If the abnormal tendon
cics can DO oradicated, and tho criminal
made useful member of society, every
effort should be mado to that end; but,
If crime is a disease, it seems-at least
in its moro serious manifeStations-to
be an incurable one. The percentage of
reformed criminals is discouragingly
small, and that Of those convicted for
subsequent offenses disproportionately
large. The best treatment of such per-
sons Is perplexing question, but the
right of self-preservation is paramount
to every other consideration, and tho
morbid unwholesome sympathy shown
by an increasing class of people toward
those who are so much out of harmony
with their social environment, will only
result in great injury to tho orderly and
law-abiding classes of society, without
causing any decrease of crime or confer
ring any permanent benefit upon tho
criminals thcmselves,-Popular Science

that as soon as he mado the meeting
point for tho two trains he could dozc,
and he tmpaticntly awaited the time.
When the trains were close enough to-
gcther for him to figure meeting point
ne sent an order to the passenger train
10 meet and pass the stock train

LOUISVILLE, April THE sun came
out bright this morning and has been
shining all day. The ruins dried of
rapidly and the work of repairing
the damage by the tornado has
gone forward theoretically. Walls
are going up and roofs are reappearing on
every hand. The work of relief is now
proceeding Systematically. The clearing
of the streets entirely Of wreckage was
begun today. Temporary mechanism has
been constructed by which it is hoped
water from the reservoir can be supplied.
The health officers fear a great increase
in disease as the result of a lack of water
to flush out sewer connections in case
there should be a water famine.
Out of about eighty houses destroyed
by the tornado in Jcffersonville the own
ers of four itths are poor people, whose
little homes were their only possessions.
All the homeless ones have been given
shelter, but the situation over there is
much underestimate and help is needed.
In this blockade between Market, Front,
Mulberry and Fort streets nearly every
home was ruined and most Of the inmates
lost all except the clothing they wore.

acres OF land lying near the business Gen

many years ago, and who died oyer
twenty years ago, and that neither he nor
his heirs have sold or transferred the
property, wherefore she prays a decree of
the court giving her possession of her

Topeka. Kas., April Elections
were held in Kansas today in sixty cities
OF the first, second and third class for
councilmen. and members of school
boards. In nearly all cities the battles
were fought on purely local issues. The
chief interest attaching to the election
was the exercise OF suffrage by women.
At Manhattan, two years ago, they cap
tured all the city Offices and had a ticket
in the field today. The prospects are that
it was elected over three other tickets.
They had control of all the election ma
chlnery, having appointed women Judges
and clerks OF election at all the precincts.
At Leavenworth the women nominated
candidates for the council and
three for the school board on
the republican ticket. Something
over 600 hundred women we're registered,
but only half OF them went to the polls.
The Democrats ran a straight male ticket
and it was elected with the exception of
one councilman. All tie women were de
tested. At Emporia the women were
worked up to the highest pitch of political
excitement over the candidacy of Mrs.
jackson for reelection as 6 member of the
scnool board. The issue was on the propo-
sition of the opposition to Mrs. jackson
to reduce the salaries of school teachers.
Mrs. Jackson's platform was Good sal
aries for good teachers" The returns to-
night indicate her re election. At Topeka
about $50 women We're registered, but
little over half of them voted. They had
20 candidates in the field and were not
directly interested in the election. The
women of Atchison had three candidates
in the field but we're unsuccessful and the
straight Republican ticket was victorious.
The registration Of women throughout the
state in cities of the second and third
classes was generally smaller than usual
owing to the lack of issues
At Salina, Kas., the female suffragists
nominated a woman candidate for the
school board. A colored woman was run
by the anti-susraGists. The suffragists
we're defeated and the colored woman
elected by an overwhelming majority.
