A TRUSTED EMPLoYE.
A Kansas City Confidential Clerk Robs His
Employer OF SEQ. 600 and slxIps.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May %. One more
trusted employe has joined the legion
OF fugitive defaulters and outraged the
confidence reposed in him by stealing
thousands Of dollars Of his employers
money. This time it is Elzo Allen, late
confidential clerk for the Austin Com
pany, an English investment corporation
with Offices in the Security building at
Sixth and Wyandotto streets, and the
amount is s90,O 900. Although the em-
bezzlement was perpetrated on Monday,
May II. it was not until the following
Thursday, May IS, that the discovery was
made. SO that Allen had three entire
days in which to put wholesome dis
tance between himself and pursuit. The
steal was most carefully and deliber-
ately planned and was executed with
eonsummate finish Tho only thing
that causes wenderment aside from the
skillfulness of the robbery itself was
that Allen did not take $40 600 instead
Of $50, 900, for he could have obtained
the larger sum just as easily as the
smaller. by considerable maneuvering
he succeeded in having the money
placed on deposit subject to his check.
The rest was easy II is said he went
away with a woman. His wife and
child are destitute. He came from
Kansas three years ago.

LAREDO, Tex, May e7.-During 4
heavy thunder shower strong gust Of
wind struck the power house of the
electric motor street car line, causing
the brick walls OF the building, which
was 15O feet long by so feet wide, "a
collapse, and the whole structure fell
with a crash. There were four men in
the building at the time, three OF
whom, one negro and two Mexicans,
were killed under the heavy truss roof.
The engineer in charge, Dick Wilmot,
when he saw the building tcgin to go
over, shut of the steam and saved his
life by lying down close to the engine.
The engine, boilers and dynamos were
found TO be uninjured when the debris
was cleared away.

SpOoner few days ago: what was the

Some charge it to his having given

powered q person or persons to manu-
facture beer, and resolves to put stop
to the traffic in beer, it cannot seize the
brewery without some compensation in
equity. If that is not law it is very good
Justice. Judge Brewer, when elected
Judge in Kansas, where he knew the
majority was tiercely Prohibition. had the

Is power which percelveS the nobility

Brewer has found that 1t is always safe

do you think, senator, that temper
ance is a local question, as Gen. Han
cock said about the taritf?''
You mean, l suppose, that Kansas is
prohibition from particular feelings and
interests prevailing there, and that
Wisconsin is not prohibition because of
of opposite elements of population and

THAT KIND OF A TONIC.

Those who have always lived in the
eXhllaratlng atmosphere of this North
western latitude have had little expert
mental acquaintance with quinine, the
great malarial tonic. Those who served
i'll the armies. or were much in the
South and Southwest, in the ear
lier periods, know its use. Its
was no small part of the expense
of living. 1t is related that in certain
districts of Illinois, where the new
corners had to be acclimated with fever
and ague, quinine was administered to
entire families every morning regularly,
and Instances are recalled where ladies
became so accustomed to it that they
continued to eat it by the spoonful as
one would sugar. In view ofsthe sup
posed epidemic, good many are now
making the acquaintance of the stand
ard tonic in this section. 1t is called
in notice specially by the fact
that tile parties who handle it in
this country have been heard before the
tariff committee of the house in an ap-
peal for the restoration of the duty on
it. Possibly some sympathy for them
in their efforts should be excited. A
quarter of a century ago there was such
generous protection that the few houses
that monopolized the drug were able to
exact s. an ounce for it. This was bet
ter for them than a gold mine or oil
well. Splendid fortunes were made, of
course at the expense of the poor I'M
fortunateS who used it. When the duty
was taken Off ten years ago, quinine
was still s. an ounce, but the price has
continued to fall till it is hardly more
than 30 cents an ounce. There have
been some Improvements in the methods
of extracticg the article from the bark
and cuItivatiug it, but the repeal of the
duty was fatal to the combination that
controlled it. It was then insisted that
an American industry was at stake.
Competition with the foreign manufact-
urerS would be ruinouS to those in this
country. and when they were driven
out the foreign manufacturers would
put up the prices. The stock argu-
mentS in favor of protection were all
worked in, and the results have totally
disproved their assertions. The Ameri-
can manufacturers have done increased
business, but with smaller profits. 1t is
not insisted they are not doing we'll. but
an opportunity is afforded to make
more by protection. Why should they
not make it bring larger dividends to
their trusts? The case is illustrative.
| 1t indicates the sort of influences that
are opp osing tariff reform.

THE NEW EXPLOSIVE.

The United States army officers who
have been going about Europe looking
into military matters do not report
themselves much impressed with the
value of the smokeless powder that has
excited so much comment. It is found
to be in the experimental stages, and
showing obstacles that will need to be
obviated before it can be practical
success. Even then, If its. use is gen.
eral, the relative advantages of armies
will not be affected. This is not to be
regretted, in view of the reported dis
covery of emmensite. That is the
name given the wonderful explosive
credited to DR.. EMMENs in Pennsy!va-
MIA. This will restore the lost prestige
in having notable invention credited
to other countries, and work remarkable
results in several directions. This new
powder gets away with dynamite
by several hundred per cent, and
has none of the dangers of any
other explosive i'll handling. In
fact, it never makes trouble not
on the programme. 1t is lighter
than gunpowder, but that is a flea on
an elephant in comparison. 1t makes
no smoke TO speak of in gun, no noise,
and doesn't kick. 1t is easy to under
stand about the smoke, but how an ex-
plosion of gases should be without audi
bic impressions upon the atmosphere
or cause no recoil to gun is not appar-
ent under the theories of physics and
natural laws that have been taught.
Possibly the invention is, like the for
eign powders and the Keely motor, still
in the experimental stage. but the i'm
possible is getting pretty easy to accom-
nliSh in these times

One of the usually most accurate
journals of Iowa speaks of John P.
HALE, of Maine," as the man ROBERT
TooMBs, of Georgia, credited with the
authorship of the badly worn boast that
TOOMBs would call the roll Of his slaves

HALE was one of the most conspicuous
public men of the country in the slavery
and war period, and yet he is now con-
fused with one of the present Maine
senators. He was a New Hampshire
man. elected to congress as Democrat,
but broke with his party on the Tex as
question, and won repute by a protracted
and exciting popular debate on that
question with FRANKLIN PIERCE, after
wards president. HALE was the candi-
date Of the Free Sellers for president at
the same election. He was an original
Republican, and in the senate till his
death in 1873. As the years and public
men slip way, it is notable how soon
they pass from the mind, even Of those
who lived in the same periods.

TO FIND WATER.

There have been many claims Of par
ties to having ability to locate Under
ground water by means OF diyining rods
or switches, but there has little conf
dence been given it. At least, there has
been no scientific attempt to establish
system. This seems now being done by
a foreign inventor, who has devised a
sensitive and delicate machine that is
claimed to be infallible. He is said to
have located 600 wells in Russia with
out single failure. He is now in New
York, and made successful tests of indi-
eating location and volume of aque-
ducts. Ii his device is as reliable as in
sisted. it would be exceedingly valuable
in sinking artesian wells. At Moor
head, in this state, for instance, an at
tempt has been abandoned after going
down 100 feet, mostly in rock, at great
expense. But a few miles dista mt
water for the desired flow is found
within 100 to 800 feet of the surface. 1t
is said that with little. practice any
one can operate the machine. There is
no patent on it.

that the two great evils that faced that
country were the slave trade carried on
by the cruel Arabs and the wretched
rum sent by the Christian nations. To-
gether they were likely to exterminate
the natives. Last year England sent
10000 tons of stuff that would kill a
white man at forty rods" and other
countries sent articles no better. The
Africans take to it like ducks to water,
and whole communities become de-
moniac under its influence. The slave
hunters protest that it is killing off the
people so as to be very damaging to
their traffic. The spectacle is sug-
gestive one-of the Christians selling
the heather vile rum, and the devout
Mahometans, who are not allowed to
drink liquors, shocked at the rum
part and indignant at the attempts to
interfere with their slave traffic. Re-
formers work on different lines.

TWO REFORMS.

There are inducements for enterpris-

the free state of Congo on the coast of
Africa. 1t is a wonderfully productive
region, and in climate that is not
adapted to whites. Africa appears to
have been designed for colored people,
and comparatively little of it is likely
to be over occupied by white races. An
infusion of better blood and a higher
civilization than the native are needed.

a POLITICAL CHURCH.

The statements made recently by Gov.
THOMAS, of Utah, do not afford much
ground of hope that the development of
the Gentle element in Utah will con-
tribute greatly to the solution of the
Mormon problem. The GentiIes are
much less than One-third of the aggre-
gate, and control but one of the TIVE MY
four counties, and but twenty-six out of
37S voting districts. The M0rmons are
holding their own in numbers, and
there is no indication that internal dis
sensions will cut any figure. The
church is the political power. The vot-
ers are as subservient to it as if they be-
lieved that their escape from hell fire
depended upon their loyalty. The
priesthood might as we'll do all the vot-
ing. All the officials are required to
pay percentage Of their salary to the
church. The county officers pay 10
per cent, or about s150.000 in the
aggregate. This is used as a
political fund wherever fences are
to be repaired or new ones built.
This shows its political organization.
The leaders are shrewd and crafty, and,
whatever pretenses they put forth to
subserve immediate purposes, they
cherish the most intense hatred to the
government. Gov. THOMAS thinks no
effective work can be done to break
their absolute sway without taking
away political control. He would have
all the prominent county and city posi-
tons filled by federal appointments.
This would evidently give the GentiIes a
material advantage and reduce the
prestige andOpportunities of the church
as political corporation. The warfare
upon polygamy is net working out any
great results, as far as can be noted, In
dividing and demoralizing the church.
1t has absolute control of all the politi-
cal and educational agencies,
