Kansas Republican LEAGUE Address.

TOPEKA, Sept. S.-The committee ap
pointed at the recent meeting of the Repub-
licsn League clubs of Kansas, to draft an
address to refute the alleged SANDERS
against the state by advocates of the Peo-
pies party, gave their report to the public
to-day. 1t is carefully prepared state
ment Of the progress made by the state
and 1t is optimistic in the extreme. The
members of the committee declare that the
crime of being state of borrowers, they
will attempt neither to paltiate nor deny.n
From the platform OF the Republican
league this sentence is quoted Our
debts stand for our investments aud not
our losses. They represent our enterprise
and not rsmisfortune; our property. not
our poverty. They will be paid to the last
penny in the legal currency of the country.
not coin clipped, not dollar depre-
ciated."
Reference to the enormous crops raised
in Kansas this year and the estimate is
made that Sl04, 600, 600. will represent the
net result of the years. WORK "Some of
this profit" says the report, will be added
to our permanent capital, but most of it
will be employed in liquidating indebted
ness. Kansas is marvellous in its history,
matchless in its resources and magnificent
IN its achievements, and the party that
maligns the state and dishonors itself Is al
ready struck with the blight of death.n

Important Interstate Commerce Decision

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept S.-Judge Ney, of
the state district court to-day filed an i'm
portant decision in the case Of the Iowa
railway commission against the Chicago,
Milwaukee s. st. Paul railway company.
Tengler s. Schwaegler had shipped to them
some time ago several carloads of fuel oil
from Lima, Ohio. The cars came from
Chicago, over the Chicago, St. Paul & Kan
sas City, and as the yards of the consignees
could only be reached by the Milwaukee
road, the latter had to switch the cars in
about three miles. The Milwaukee COM
pany charged from Sl3 to SIS per car for
this switching, the charge being greatly in
excess OF the joint switching rates fixed by
the state railroad commission. On com
plant of the consignees the commission
ordered the company to switch the cars at
the rate fixed. The company refused and
the case went into court. Judge Ney holds
that the contract between Tengler 81
Schwaegler and the oil company at Lima,
Ohio, is an interstate commerce contract,
and that the board of railroad commission
ers of Iowa has no jurisdiction to remedy
grievances arising hereunder. Plaintiffs
petition was dismissed. The case will now
go to the supreme court on appeal.

A PAIR OF WRETCH8S
A Father and Son Sent to Prison
for Twenty Years
FOR OUTRAGING A LITTLE GIRL
She Was Step Daughter-Nin Persons at the
Point Of Death From Poison-killed
While Playing Cards.

MEEKER, Colo, Sept. s. Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. - But for the
prompt action of the authorities, Meeker
would tonight have been the scene of a
lynching. For the past eight months an
old man close to fifty, and his son aged
twenty six years, named respectively j..
Bloodworth and William Bloodworth,
have been in the habit of constantly
assauIting nine-year-old child, the step
daughter and sister of both, for the gratifi-
cation of their inhuman desires The child
is weak and very small, and the testimony
brought before the grand jury was most
revolving, showing that she had been fear
fully treated. A true bill was at once
found and the two culprits arrested
When faced with the charge, they
at once pleaded guilty, while
the younger one begged piteously for
mercy at the hands of the court After
reading the Indictment to them the Judge
told them that men who had confessed to
being guilty of such crimes were entitled
to no mercy at his hands. He said that
although the law only allowed him to SEN
tence them to Imprisonment, the only meet
punishment for such crimes was that of
death, and that they had to thank the law
abiding citizens for not having
awarded meet punishment before this
He then sentenced them both 10 the peni-
Tertiary for twenty years. While the
court was at dinner the prisoners were
taken out the back way from the court
house and placed in a conveyance, which
circled the town and at once started for
the railroad fifty miles distant on their
way to Canon City.

Trades Union Cnngrass

NEWCASTLE, England, Sept. S.-Tnough
the Trades Union congress really opened
yesterday the real business of the meeting
did not begin until to-day. President
Thomas Burt this morning in his opening
address con graduated the congress upon
being the largest body Of representatives
of trades unions TO meet in any part of
the world. Burt also said he was glad to
see that the women's unions were so
largely represented at the congress as
women needed more organizing than men.
The president expressed the opinion that
whenever women did the same work in
quantity and quality as men they ought TO
ask the same pay as men ana the latter
ought TO support them in their demands.
Long applause. Continuing, Burt pre-
d;cted that as trades unions grow
stronger strikes would diminish in
number and Importance. A strike,
he said, was always an ugly
weapon with which to enforce claims. A
strike, in the speakers opinion, was like a
boomerang, which, If not skilfully thrown,
comes back and wounds the thrower. Still.
Burt admitted strikes were necessary when
the blindness and deafness of mammon
obliged workmen TO stop the wheels. Re-
ferrlng to arbitration as a means of set
Ting disputes between employer and en-
II
fords a chance of arranging a settlement.
1t is criminal to strike.'' Applause.
Touching upon the subject of state legis-
lation in regard TO workingmen, their man
ner of employment and their hours of labor,
Burt declared that this was a subject on
which u great dividing line was drrwn be-
tween workingmen, some advocating the
functions of the state ought to be limited to
enforcing existing laws, and others desiring
such action upon the part of the state as
would lead to fundamental change in the
entire industrial system. Burt believed
self-help the best solution for existing social
problems, and declared that in his opinion
the advocacy of the suggestion that the
state should be producer and employer of
labor would lead to disaster if applied In
conclusion, Burt reminded the delegates
that the important problem for workmen
was to discover some means which would
bring about better distribution of wealth
and so raise themselves in humanity, in
greater material well being, and nobility
of character, Long and enthusiastic ap-
plause.
After considerable discussion, the con-
gress, by a large majority, approved the
resolution faVoring an international eight
hour law.

Times from Belleville, Kan, says: Nine

A BOY AND A HALF.
A Remarkable Case of a Para.
site Growth.
The Hindoo TaloO's Double Body-It Is De.
yeloped Down to the Waist-Physlcisns
Think 1t Could be Removed

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-There was gath
ering of physicians and reporters at the
Metropolitan hotel to-day to see the mon
strosity called Laloo., the double bodied
boy Laloo is a full blooded Hindoo, and
as brown as berry. He has g singularly
handsome face. mass of shiny black curls,
the cutest of mustaches and sparkling eyes.
Viewed from behind he is as straight as an
arrow. Laloo is more than one bow: he is
boy and half. In the language of the
scientific medical men he is an extraordin-
airy example of parasitic growth Growing
out of Laloo's well developed chest is an
other boy, which hangs in front Of him un-
til its feet nearly touch the floor. The
other boy has no head, but has two arms,
part of a body, and from the waist down is
in every respect like fully developed bow.
except that is feet are somewhat twisted
out of SHAPE and it's legs are limp and
shrivelled from not receiving natural exer-
else. Neither the arms nor legs possess
the power to move, though Laloo can placs
the arms of his half brother about his
as he pleases without injury TO
himself Laloo, however, is sensitive
to any pain that is inflicted on the other
boy. Laloo has to do all the eating and
breathing for both. The half-boy has
stomach and something inside of it, but it
has no lungs and no ribs. 1t has to absorb
food and breath from Laloo. The physi-
clans were very much surprised to lind
pulse freely beating in the 'sit,n but thew
were not able to determine whether or not
it possessed an independent heart. Laloo
said his constant companion did not cause
him the slightest inconvenience, and he
demonstrated his agility by clasping it in
his arms and running about the room, leap
ing over furniture and kicking his heels as
his dead. This, the physicians explained.
the boy could do because the parasite at
tached to him is connected with his alb
normally developed breast bone and causes
him no more bother than does big stomach
on fat man. They expressed the opinion,
however. the parasite ought to be chopped
away from Laloo, and they felt certain a
skilled surgeon could perform the opera
ton in five minutes without injury TO La
loo: Laloo is eighteen years old. was born
in India and speaks the English language
very well. He has two brothers and sis
ter. They are not in any way deformed.

Balmaceda. 1t is now reported that he has
taken refuge in some one of the foreign le-
cations or else has concealed himself in a
monastery. If he has been fortunate
enough to gain admission to a legation. he
will, in all likelihood, be protected from the
wrath of his triumphant enemies. If, on
the contrary, he sought refuge in monas-
terry, he is in imminent danger of being
captured. The junta will undoubtedly
cause the monasteries to be searched for
him, if they put any faith in the report. 1t
seems hardly possible. however, he should
seek an asylum with the clerical party as it
has been recognized fact ever since the
outbreak Of the war in Chill that the
