w. H. Corbin, cashier of the 1st National Bank of Stafford Springs, has quite recently spent some two weeks in central Kansas, look ing after loans for himself and others, and has consented to give his observations for the profting of others through The Press
 But few people in the east have any idea of the situation of affairs in the west. Loans have been made in the most reckless manner imaginable, and especially so in and around the cities so called, where additions" were projected, lots sold at fabulous prices, and houses built that are not needed at all. At the present time from one-fourth to half of these houses are unoccupied. In 1886 and 1887 money poured in from the east and everybody went wild in speculations Farm CTS were induced by loan agents to borrow money which they did not need, and they in turn bought more land and building lots in town, mortgaging their homes in order to speculate.
 To-day how changed MT. Corbin did moi hear the sound of hammer in Kansas, and saw no signs of building. Houses, stores and buildings stand left half completed, with nc prospect of further progress at present. No' a dollar in money is being taken to Kansas
 to-day to be invested, unless it is by some
 shrewd man who knows values and who Ii
 buying property at enormously low prices, o
 buying foreclosed mortgages at very lov
 prices. The attempted legislation on the par
 of the Farmers Alliance house of representa-
 tives in Kansas will be the cause of millions o } dollars being sent back east which would other
 wise remain in Kansas. Fortunately the senat of Kansas prevented very much of the unwls
 legislation which was proposed. This is Kan
 sas to-day. But Kansas has futurA. Iher
 are hosts of honest men to-day in Kansas wh cannot pay their interest, but if the east vii be patient and wait tn will pay later on There has been large amount of indiscrim nate foreclosures brought up to the presen time, but the courts are full and in man counties foreclosure suit cannot be con , pleted under two or three years, and Nil
 Corbin is of the opinion that foreclosing
 not the best course unless made absolutel necessary.
 It will do man good to see the fields ( wheat now growing in Kansas. In fact thel has been so much ground put into wheat tn year that corn lands are in great deman and many farmers will put in sod corn tn spring, which, if it does not mature, they wi

N. Y. Times The butchering of the acquitted Italian murderers in New Or leans shows how thin and fragile is the wall so laboriously built up between civ ilized methods and those of primitive bar barism. When no forms of law are pro- vided for the punishment of crime the peo- pie of community are apt to attend to the business of infiicting penalties without forms of law. When laws have been es- tablished and have failed of their purpose, there is often an uncomfortable impulse to revert to the primitive plan. There was evidently prevailing conviction in New Orleans that justice had failed in this case
 It was believed that the murderers of Hen nessey had been found, and that their crime was proved upon them but through corruption or fear the jury failed to con- vict There was but one result to be look ed for in the case of f~those e-1whp were ac. quilted, for they could not be tried agaln on the same charge. They must be allow ed to go free, to the great comfort and en
 couragement of the oonfraternity of Sici1- ian assassins That was a result which the populace refused to tolerate, and the parish prison was broken open and the criminals slain. It is method that is 'to be deplored as lawless and unciviliZed but law and civilization failed at the trial, and the community promptly resorted to it's own rude but terribly effective method of inspiring wholesome dread in those who had boldly made trade of murder.

A MOST terrible story comes from New Dr. leans of the killing of seven men in the city prison by 8 mob of lynchers For years the city has been cursed by an organization of the Italian Mafia, not unlike the highbinders of Chinese colonies in America. This vil- lainous band did it's work chiefly in impost of tribute upon Italians and murder of recreant members or those Italians rebellious to it's de- crees. Finally when Chief of Police Hennes- sey sought to trace out crime committed by them he was shot dead in the street, seven- teen bullets from different quarters striking his body as he was ascending his own door steps at midnight. Numerous arrests of sus- pected Italians were made, and when brought to trial jury acquitted them, to the disgust of community which freely attributed the result to bribery or intimidation. The pris- oners were sent to jail to await trial on anoth- CT charge. An organization was formed, and hundreds of armed men broke into ths jail The miserable prisoners were chased through galleries and staircases until finally cornered into the court yard, where eleven Of the nine- teen indicted murderers were killed, nine be- ing shot down and two taken out and hanged.
 The occurrence is disgracsful in showing that the methods of law are inadequate to meet the undoubted guilt of at least seven of these men. The situation was horrible-to turn these members of a cut-throat band loose, to wreak their vengeance upon con- munity that seemed to have no power to re- strain or punish them. We can understand while we cannot justify the impulse that moved citizens of high standing to meet crime with crime, to mete to band of open avowed assassins the terrible methods of their owr introduction.
 The Italians of the country are stirred ovel the event, most of them crying ''vendetta," /" few seeming glad that the Mafa is put down The Italian government protests, because three of the killed prisoners were citizens o Italy. Secretary Blaine has answered, de ploring the crime, and calling upon the gov ernor of Louisiana to investigate.
 JOHN J. JENNINGS of Bristol is mentioned for the U. s. district attorneyship for tn Connecticut district, Hon. Geo. H. P. Nc Lean of Simsbury being the other prominent ly named candidate. Either selection woul' be good one. As 8 native of Holland count Mr. Jennings success will be especial hoped for by many friends in this vicinit who knew him in boyhood and in early man hood, and who yet know him as lawye of ability, and we'll fitted for the position t which he aspires. To natural ability he unite untiring zeal, love of his profession an industrious habits that will count in any fiel of law practice in which he may work.

The length of the criminal calendar
depends somewhat the grand jury's

OF the cases against eX-Patrolman Blake.
the trial Of Adams, the Would-be bank
robber, who is thought to be insane: the
Stuart perjury cases, the charge against
Charles Mckinney for seduction. all are
matters which wall lead to animated
trials. J. NJ. Mayheld. who was ar
rested at the expiration OF his sentence
at Saltwater, is likely to have trial on
a second Indictment for assault with in

1t is probable that the grand Jury will
consider certain sensational charges
against 4 well known photographer
which have been aired in the columns
of several papers. and if an Indictment
IS found which leads to a trial. sala-

Anton Grethen's EuIogy the Only
Form of Funeral Service.
Yesterday the old friends and neigh
bors OF the late John q. Gluck paid their
last respects to all that was mortal of
him. The funeral services, If such they
may be called were at the residence,
1903 Hennepin avenue, and there were
no religious services. Mr.. Gluek was
not favOrably disposed toward the eX-
Founders of creeds and dogmaticaI re-
liglon while in the flesh. His family
dld not deem it right to force
such attentions upon him after
death. The only occurrence approaching
funeral services was the pronunciation
OF a eulOgy on the deceased by Anton
Grethen Sr. BIZ. Gfethen had been the
lifelong friend of the dead man. His
words carried more weight with the
friends and more consolation to the sor-
rowing family than would the best
rounded periods of popular minister
OF tue gospel. His commentator of
the character and attributes of his de-
parted friend was sincere. The floral
offerings were beWildering in their
number and beauty. Seldom have more
ana nandsOmer tributes been laid on the
last resting place of the dead. The in
terment was at Lakewood and was car
RED out wholly without pomp or cere-
mOny. a large number of friends fol-
lowed the body to its last. long home.

on the sofa. and. carefully tying the box
in which the diamonds had been re-

be locked in the safe. This
morning he called for the box, and,
upon opening it, was dumfounded
to find it empty. A few moments later
he was almost beside himself with de-

the jewels in his hand. He had found
them lying on the floor near the sofa
on which Patten had laid them.
