Prom the St. Louis Globe Democrat
Some say ''Ec-umenical." Bishop
Hurst, the promoter of the proposed
American university and one of the
scholars of Methodism. thinks that is
right. But the Rev. Dr. Corey. pastor
of the great Metropolitan church OF
Washington. is emphatic in the belief
that "Ee-cumenical'' is better. He has
written to the editor of a great diction-
airy and has that authority for his pro-
nunciaticn. Several of the broad dialect
brethren, like the Rev. Ralph Aber-
crombie of Shrewsbury, England, call it
ZEE coo-mee- nical."

The supply of water in the Mississippi
river is running short. The St. Joe
News suggests that here is a chance for
the rain makers 10 achieve such fame as
should satisfy the most ambitious OF
them. There is a bit OF method in the
suggestion. You see it IS like this: II
the wasting supply in the Mississippi can
be replenished by that process they can
employ It to put water in the channel OF
the Missouri. and thus reduce the lob
lolly to q navigabl= consistency.

ALoRical Conclusion.


Williamson. the condemned murderer
who is to be hanged at Sedalia, has con-
fessed religion and been baptized. Conf
dence in such conversions was shaken by
the action of Louis BullIng, the ST.
Joseph murderer, who before his escape
from the Andrew county jail, is said to
have united with the church and made
his peace with his maker. But after his
escape he went straightway to Chicago,
where he hired out as bartender, and
when the officers discovered him he was
loaded with weapons which he used
viciously. To make gallows repentance
effective the penitent must be hanged.

RESTORE HONOR TO KANSAS
From the El Dorado Republlcan.

From the Ell Dorado Republican
For quarter of a century Kansas has
been noted for its manhood, for its pluck
| aud industry, and money came to Us in
| golden floods. Our word, as the word
| of industry always is, was as good as our
! bond. We were known as a state OF
honor and integrity, of push and vim,
and today, after this whirlwind of de-
spair has shaken US, it has left us no rep
utation save an unworthy one. We are
represented as crying for government
aid, wailing for fat money, shrieklng in
the agonies Of emasculated impotence,
for power not within US to come to our
aid; bowling like the blood drinker Of
the Paris commune for the state TO take
us up and carry US. idle and listless. into
the shimmering mirage island which the
false light of socialism shows us Just
ahead. Manhood in the state has gone
below par, the sturdy Drawn which
brought Kansas through hard
ways to the stars has changed and weak
ened to the fiabby Incidence which cries
for a sub-treasury and immense govern
ment pawn shop, 10 take US through a
years bad crops And il Is the duty of
every Republican, every Democrat, and
so far as that Is concerned, Alliance man,
to refute by word and vote this impata-
ton ON the states fair name. We must
do it at once We must announce the
prophecy of hope, sing the song Of inde-
pendence and declare again that We are
men, honest, industrious, brave, fearless
and ready to battle with every foe The
danger Of another Alliance victory Is
gone; but we must now and IN no uncer-
tain tones renOunce forever the doctrine
which last fall We as state proclaimed

her honored place among the stars. but

A Plain Truth Plainly Told.

From the Emporia Republican.
"Can you explain" chuckled an Ali
ance man yesterday, ''how it happens
that Republicans and Democrats ara be-
coming so thick?" A the beginning of
the war men who differed widely as to
governmental policy came together and
fought side by side when the country's
life was threatened. So patriotic citizens
are now laying aside their political
prejudices and joining hands to resist as
saults upon the states reputation and
credit. After all Kansas patriotism is
stronger than Kansas partisanship, when
when it comes to an actual test.

Governor-Senator Hill of New York is
evidently strong believer in the doc
trine and policy of reciprocity. He
wants to be the Democratic nominee for
president; he is aware that to get it he
must have strong pull from the south;
he also knows that Georgia is the most
reliable and strongest Democratic state,
of the Atlantic group if not of the entire
section. With these conditions and cal
culations in view he makes a second
junket to the Goober state metropolis
and ladies out liberal supply of soft
taffy in return for their expected support
to his presidential aspirations. But it
will not avail him, for despite all his
maneuvering and all the influence of the
Atlantic Constitution in his behalf, the
the Georgia Democrats are for Cleve-
land, and don't miss many opportunities
to so express themselves. AS far the

MARsHFIELD. Or, Sept. 1S..Agent
Leman just arrived from Gardiner gives
the following additional news regarding
the flight and capture of Albertson and
Chandler. It seems that the fugilives
had been in the neighborhood of Flor
ence, small town on the coast, twenty
miles north of Gardner, and forty miles
north OF this city. They had engaged a
room at the hotel at Florence, where they
stopped several days, and on their de
parture paid the proprietor to retain their
room. They never returned, but secured
supplies and stated in a small boat to
some rendezvous on the Siuslaw, where
it is supposed they were supplied with
provisions at night by a party well
known to the authorities, and who had
gained the confidence of the fugitires,
and was presumably under pay from
thea. THIS party was suspected By
United States Deputy Marshal Chas
Lsmpkins, o; Tacoma, who threatened
tam with the law unless he gave all fhe
in his possession regarding
:he robbers, whereupon he betrayed the
robbers by telling them they were lnse
cure IN their present location and advised
them to fad another ding place on tue
east side of the Umpqua river. He told
them that he would leave boat at
certain point on the west side of the
Umpqua for their use. and at the same
time he had arranged with the off
GERS to meet them on the beach on the
opposite side as they crossed over and
were making landing when captured,
as stated in previous dispatches.

prepared for burial and placed in the
parlor. Mrs. Potter. sister of Mr.. Ban
nehan, put boiler on the stove, con
tanning what she supposed 10 be water,
but which proved to be ten gallons of
kerosene, which had been emptied into
the boiler from leaking can. The oil
soon began to boil and ID ten minutes
exploded, setting the house on fire IN a
dozen places. The flames soon enveloped
the paIlor and set on fire the corpse and
the coffin. the lid of which had been fas
tened. Frank and Philip BannehaD,
sons of the dead woman, rushed through
the flames and tined to secure the body,
but were driven back. John Bannehan,
another son, rushed in from another reom
and gras ping the remains, ran through
sheet of fire. His hands and face were
burned to blister He will die. Mr..

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 49, To-day was the
anniversary of the independence of Chill,
and it was appropriately celebrated on the
Itata. The vessel was profusely decorated
by Captain Mannzen. A salute was
fred from the now notorious brass cannon,
and general holiday was observed by
all the crew. Mannzen refuses to be in
terviewed upon the prospects of speedy
termination of the 'ItdtG litigation.
Captain Tejeda makes frequent trips be-
tween Los Angeles and this city, trying
to bring affairs to speedy termination.
Every delay causes him much cbagrin
Since the junta has had control of affairs
in Chill, the detained captains have had
better communication with their homes
and families. Captain Mannzen still
thinks he cannot possibly get to VAL
paraiso before January next, even if the
Itdta should be release d at once, for she
is badly in need of repairs, which will
cscse the vessel to 60 to San Francisco,
when the plans are to take on cargo of
merchandise to Chill, after which the
vessel is likely to be returned to the
South American Transportation Com
pany, from which she was seized several
months ago. Mannzen is anxious to see
Balmaceda punished for his cruelty.
He was very much excited when news
came that the ex dictator was aboard
the cruiser San Francisco, bound for
California. Had the tryant landed here
he would likely have met with spirited
reception at the hands of the deta1r ed
congressionalists.

A Mysterious Drowning.

NEWTON, L 1 Sept. 21.-MaX Con-
raddi, aged 10, of New York, was ar
raigned to- day before Justice Powers at
this place under peculiar circumstances.
He was brought from Bowery bay station
house, by Sergeant Corrigan, where he
had been locked up all night. Conraddi
entered the station last evening, and,
depositlng bundle of clothing on the
sergeant's desk, said these clothes be
longed TO his friend o. Jaynes, aged 81,
who be said had been drowned off
Bowery bay beach in the afternoon.
Young JayDes boarded at the house of
Mrs. Mary Lldwell, at an address given
by Conraddi. She is an aunt of Con
raddl. Jaynes came firm San Francisco
Cal, some time ago to study law at
Columbia college. He was preparing to
pass the regents examination. Conraddi
on being questi ned by Sergeant Corri
gan, made contradictory statements,
which induced the sergeant to lock him
up. He said Jaynes had accompanied
him 10 Bowery bay yesterday afternoon,
snd that about o'clock they went out
in boat, and, on reaching Riker's island,
they went in bathing. After Jaynes had
been IN the water a short time, he sud-
denly called for help, threw up his hands
and sank. Conraddi said he started to
go to his friends assistance, but Jaynes
before he could reach him.
The clothing which Conraddi had
brought to the station was of fine mate
nal, and with gold watch and chain
attached to the vest. The sergeant
asked Conraddi if Jaynes had any money
with him when they started to the bay.
JonraddI replied that Jaynes always
carried more or less money, and was
that none was found IN the
clothing. On heing closely questioned
contradicted himself in a num-
)er of instances. Justic Powers decided
o hold Conraddi until the body of
[aynes is recovered
