Last Monday morning we were sit

an editorial entitled @Moral Suasion, as
it should be applied to the American In

If it had been otherwise this would never

ceedings were then had and done: "Say,

were the editor, but seeing that the afore-
said young man was not very well versed
in the nomenclature Of the print shop, we
answered in the affirmative. ST have a

Here we smiled q child-like and bland
smile, such as we keep in stock for Just
such occasions, and kindly referred him
to our mechanical supervisor, in the other
department, imported for such emergen-
cies, weighing about one hundred and
ninety pounds and measuring three and
a-half feet across thebaek. What trans
pired beyond the inner door will probably
never be recorded fully. 1t sounded
something like an Indian ghost dance,
but more like playing ten pins and a sort
OF dull thud occasionally by, way of
variation. We arrived just in time to see
pair OF number 10 boots on the inside
OF the window apparently attached to and
connected with something on the Outside
OF the building. But it was only for q
moment and then all was still. The
young man had disappeared, and so had
the window. We have never seen them
since, and the "pome" doubtless, vent
down with the general wreck. The moral

AS an experiment we asked twelve OF
our business men this week, "What is the
news?" The answer invariably was, 81
don't know Of anything" And yet we
are expected each week to fill our paper
with news of local nature and if we don't
we are liable to censure. The hardest thing
newspaper men have to encounter in
small country towns is the scarcity of
news items. 1t is much more difficult to
publish readable local paper in small
town than in city and we are constrained
to believe that the man who can furnish
moderately newsy paper in western
Kansas would make bowling success in
metropolis.

A TERRIBLE DEATH.
Mrs. Alsop Thrown Out ofHer Bug
gy and Killed III

Last week we announced the death OF
Mrs. J. e. Alsop but we're not able to give
any Of the particulars. The following We
taken from the Tacoma Globe OF date oil
November 18th:
'Mrs. James E. Alsop, the wife OF the
superintendent of the Lake Park Land,
Railway and Improvement company, was
accidently killed late yesterday afternoon
by being thrown out of her carriage, which
was dragged over an embankment by
her horses, which had run away In the
new addition to Tacoma. Her skull was
crushed, and although she was alive when
picked I'D by her husband she lived only
about an hour. Her body was baought
to this city by Undertaken Hoska and is
at her late home, No. 705 Yakima avenue
Early in the afternoon Mrs. Alsop and
her husband left their home together IN
buggy to visit house on the top OF the
hill, which they had rented few days
ago. On Monday evening last while they
were attending a lecture lamp exploded
at their residence on Yakima avenue, and
although the damage was slight they i'm
medlatly arranged to change their abode
to the new addition. Their visit to the
house yesterday was for the purpose OF
measuring the floors of the several rooms
for carpeting. The house adjoins that oc.
cupied by Mr.. Harvey. They finished
the work about o'clock and started
to return home in the buggy. While
driving down the hill, short distance
from the house in the new addition, the
horse became fractions and disarranged
his harness. Mr.. Alsop restrained the
animal, and bringing him to standstill,
jumped out of the carriage to fix the har-
ness. While so engaged the horse again
became restless, and with a leap sprang
away from Mr.. Alsop and dashed down
the hill at a furious gait. Mrs. Alsop
bravely seized the reins and endeavored
to check the animals mad flight, but
without success. He paid no heed to her
efforts, but ran at breakneck speed for
quite distance. Going down the hill in
front of the runaway was a wagon load
of hay. The runaway horses soon COW
cred the distance between the obstacle in
the road and SHE'D to one side and dash
ed over the embankment, about fifteen
feet high. Mrs. Alsop was hurled from
the buggy and fell with crash against a
small stump, striking on her head. Her
skull was crushed and her scalp badly
torn. She was rendered unconscious,
and was lying as # dead when her hus-
band found her. With the assistance OF
another gentleman the insensible woman
was tenderly carried to house on Thir-
tieth street, between F and G streets.
Medical assistance was hastily summoned
but despite all efforts she passed away
about o'clock. Undertaken Hoska was
sent for and he took charge of the body.
As soon as the 10-year-old daughter Of
the deceased heard of her mothers death
she exclaimed: ."My mamma is in Heav-
en-" Mrs. Alsop was abont 43 years of
age, and was very estimable lady. She
was the mother of two children, one of
whom is young married man. and the
other the little girl whose pathetic remark
brought tears to the eyes of all who
heard her.

"A farmer down at the other corner ol
this township has novel way of watering
his stock during calm. He has invent.
ed suitable nipple" and has taught his
stock how to it. When the wind is toe
light to raise the water, he attaches this
patent mouth piece, and when any one Of
his beasts get thirsty it goes to the vel
and gets its own drink. Such an inven.
ton would be great convenience in any
country where the wind is less constant
than it is in western Kansas. -SclkirJ
