of slavery. Not only in the United
States, but in Europe also. did be

Great Britain especially Mr. May
lectured upon slavery to large au-
diences. After his removal to 5yra-

active and prominent in promoting
the anti-slavery reform. Hundreds
of men, women and children, fleeing
from bondage and bound for Canada,
came to linn for protection and help,

Miss Winnie Davis came North
some four years ago to visit DR..
Thomas Emory, in this city. At
one of the receptions given in her
houor she was introduced to MIR.
Alfred Wilkinson. 1t will be re-
membered that Miss Winnie re-
ceived very cool reception in one
or two houses here, and this treat

her and Mr.. Wilkinson in very close
relation. He resented the GOODNESS
shown her and CALAMITY champion
ed her cause. The friendship thus
engendered between them blossom

A FIGHT WITH A BURGLAR.
John kracski Awakened by the
CiutcI, OF IA Mans Fingers on His
ELr0Ut

The house Of John Yelonek, SlS
Mount Vernon Street, Camden, into
which burglars broke on Saturday
night, taking clothing valued at $40,
was again entered Sunday night.
The thief forced open a window
iii the lear of the house, and enter
ed the bedroom of John Kraeski,
Pole, who boards at the house, and
whose clothing was stolen the night
previous. Stacy the young son of
Mr.. Yelonek, roomed with Kraeski.
kraeski awoke soon after retiring,
and saw in the dim light that some
one was beside the bed. When he
stirred he felt a mans fingers clutch
ing his throat, and the man de-
manded his money. Kraeski strug-
gled with the thief. and the noise
awoke the child, who screamed lusti-
ly for his mother Mrs. Yelonek
hastened into the room, where she
saw her boarder and the stranger in
a fierce combat.
The frightened woman screamed
for help, which caused the thief to
loosen his grasp on Kraeski's throat.
He Immediately went to the window
and in attempting to escape found
it closed. He broke the glass with
his fist and shot the bolt. at this
time Kraeski recovered himself suf
ficiently to attack the thief with the
hope of capturing him. The thief
defended himself with a huge knife.
In the struggle Kraeski's hands were
badly cut. With it he succeeded in
keeping Kraeski's at arms length
until he was able to force open the
shutters and escape by way of the
shed roof.
The burglars who visited the place
on Saturday night cut out the lat.
tioe work in the front gate and Sc
cured an entrance. They left be-
hind two knives and hatchet. Yes
terday morning one of the knives
was found sticking in the closet
door in the sitting-room.
Yelonek was absent 10th nights,
being on night duty at the American
Nickle Works, where he is employ-
ed.
Little Stacy Yelonek says he re-
cognized the burglar and named
Pole WHO boarded at the house four
or five months ago. -Four months
ago the house was entered and a
watch and $40 taken.

DEATH OF ARTHUR w. TRIPP.
Artie as he was always called, was
the eldest son of W. j. Tripp, and
nephew of ex-Sheriir Tripp, he de-
parted this life on April 21st, at the
age of eighteen years and six months.
He WAS the favorite of all who knew
him, as was shown by the great
number who attended the funeral.
He was model young man, having
formed good habits when very young.
He never said harsh word of no
person, but would always have q
kind word for any one he met. He
attended the graded school at Can.
tom the past year. Sometime in
the early part OF the term he was
taken sick with typhoid fever, but
had so far recovered as to be able to
attend school again about the first
of the present month. He came
home on visit expecting to return
in few days, but this was not to
be, as he was taken very sick the
same week and continued to get
worse until death ended his suffer-
ings. The funeral services were
held at his home at the request of
his mother and they were ably con.
Quoted by the Rev. Gordonier of
Canton. The services were very
impressive and one long to be re-
membered. The choir composed of
d. d. Davidson and wife (the latter
as organisnt,) III. X. Williams and
wife and Mrs. H. Il. Andrus, rem
dered some very choice selections
from Memorial offerings. The pal!
bearers were composed of me.abers
of the Lodge of Patrons of Tenn
perance of which deceased was a
member. A beautiful cross of flow
ers was presented by Mrs. Newman
and very fine basket of flowers and
most handsome lilly by Mrs. DR..
Brooks of Canton, also a cross of
wild flowers by Mrs. II. T. Andrus.
The burial took place at the West
Hill cemetery. FRIEND.

The tariff bill was reported to the
House last week. At the last min
ute hides were put upon the free
ist. Sugar is also put upon the
free list, and bounty of two cents
per pound provided for the next fifo
cen years for the producers of su-
gar in this country. 1t is estimated
that the bill will make q reduction
of about S70,000,000 per annum in
the receipts of the Government. The
report Of the majority of the Ways
and Means committee which accom-
panied the bill says: ''lt was the
aim of the committee to fix the du~
ties upon that class of manufactured
goods and farm products which can
be supplied at home so as to dis
courage the use of like foreign
goods and products, and secure to
our own people and our own pro-
ducers the home market, believing
that competition among ourselves
will secure reasonable prices to con-
sumers in the future, as it has invar-
iably done in the past. xxx The
bill is framed in the interest of the
people Of the United States. 1t is
for the better defence of American
homes and American industries" !"
There were two minority reports,
one by MIR. McKenna against the
sugar clause, and one by Mr.. Car
Isle representing the Democrats
against the whole bill.

KANSAS LEGISLATIVE APPORTONMENT
FOR 1891.


The WyandOtte constitution Of 1850
apportolned the Legislature Of Kansas 80
that there were twenty-five senator's and
sevOnty-Ave representatives. Since the
state has been apportioned into legisla-
tive districts senatorial and representa-
tive--in the sessions Of 1902, 1868, 1871,
1876, 1881 and 1886, and hence, as appOr-
tionments are due each Eve years, there
must be one made In the sessions Of 1891,
and, aa the constitution OF the state as IL
now is provides for a number Of senators
not TO exceed forty and representatives
at the limit Of 125, with each organised
county having a representative, IL may
not be very difficult to settle upon an ap-
portionment.
AS the population Of the state is 1893
4S5 by the national census Of 1890, this
amount divided by 40 would give 85,587
as the average population OF senatorial
district. And as there are LOG counties
IN the state, and as each county is en-
titled 10 representative, it 10 evident
that 100 representatives would simply
represent territory, while nineteen repre-
sentatives would be distributed among
the most populouz counties. The follow

Patiently, labOrously, earnestly are
they searching for the potent defect in

which has reduced 100000 agricultural

many thousands Of the 100000 Of farm
ers homeless, while Che vast majority Of

rent for the use OF their own homes.
They are wondering and inquiring
what has caused the evolution Of $1,000
millionalres and millions Of paupers in

period Of thirty years. They want TO dis
cover the unequal conditions and Oppor-
tunlties that accumulate all the wealth
In the large cities, while farm lands and
farm produce, labor and all material
wealth has steadily declined in price.
And they think they have discovered
one Of the principal, II not the principal
and most potent cause. Briefly stated, il
is the privileges accorded to the money
power by the financial legislation Of the
past thirty years. The delegation by
the people TO corporations Of the peoples
