Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-01-26
From The Greeley News.


The Kansas senator, j. j. ingalls,,
gives us again one of lis characteris-
tic speeches III the senate, and goes
back and quotes ancient history fire.
quemtly aud with ready tongue;
speaks Of Solomon and his wisdom,
and Burke's speech in the Eouserof
Lords, in favor OF strong govern
ment ; takes our present system of ii.
nance back to Caesars time, and speaks
of Nero tiddling while Rome was
burning. What were Nero's follow
ers doing while the fiddling was 60
ing on? Then again, he speaks ofthe
millionaires as the "froth on the beer.'
This brings Americas greatest 60
statesman, Senator John Sherman, to
his feet, asking a correction. "Specu-
lators speculators!! instead of mil
lionaires." And ingalls, uses the word
spectators instead of millionaires.
These spectators intest the halls Of
congress, as the pirates did the high
seas, but were driven from the seas,
inlets and bays, and have taken up
their quarters in Washington, ID. o.,
and are preying on the business and
commerce of this country, both inter-
ior and export with other nations, un-
til the uprising Of the labOring macs
es, on November 4, 1890, which will
long be remembered by Americas
great Demo Republican statesmen
and moneyocracy of the whole world.
Then again, we have had improve
ments i'm everything except finance,
and it is only passed from the old
Babylonian system to the present Jew
ish system, with Babylonish head
quarters at London, England, the mod
ern Babylon. We read in the Book OF
books Christ's Sermon on the Mount.
and 90 to hear it expounded, and frc-
quently hear OH the streets, and else
where, that our present money system
is "the best the world ever had"
These two extremes are certainly ia
tiguing i'm the extreme, to say the
least. Our business arrangements
must be made to meet, but how are
we, as a NATION, or a people, going to
make our busines and spiritual mat
ters meet in these two extremes? is
the question for us all. Suppose the
farmers were to farm with the same
implements-the wooden plow, tramp
ing out the grain with oxen, and 9TH
er usages of that primitive day-what
would not be said against such primi-
tive methods? And yet, we have the
same old Babylonish money system
which builds up country of rich
people and a country of slaves. Who
can say any thing against the Bellamy
system? There are no rich and there
are no poor-certainly a very happy
condition for any people to be in.

The food that man eats forms and
maintains his temporal body. So,
also, the literature he reads forms,
largely, his mind. Therefore, we
can tell the man who reads nothing
but the old party papers when we
hear him talk, as readily as the man
who eats nothing but onions-by
the smell of his breath. Whew!

oNE-HALF FIRST STORY PLAN.

The building should be heated by indi-
rect radiation if by steam. This consists
of passing current of fresh air from the
outside over coil of steam pipes or radi-
ators, and bringing the warm air into the
rooms by means of metal ducts and regis
ters. The warm air is more effectively dis
tributed if brought into the room at some
distance above the floor or near the CELL
ing The ventilating ducts for carrying off
the foul air may be connected with the
rooms by means of registers placed in the
floor, or in the side walls near the floor.
The water closets must be located so as
to ventilate into a separate fiue, and should
never communicate directly with the
wards, main passages or corridors The
sewerage from a hospital should never be
allowed to pass into an open ditch or sewer,
or be allowed to enter the drainage system
of the district. In the first story plan of
the hospital here shown the general wait
ing room, living room, linen closets and
wardrobes are located in the middle of the
building, with servant sleeping rooms and
bathroom in tEfe second story, with the
kitchen in the front. On each side of this
section of the building are arranged the
wings of the hospital proper, one for males
and the other for females. Wards contain
ing each eight beds are located next the
middle part or administration building.

An Abused Language.

1t is curious to note what vulgarisms
creep into the American language, even
the language spoken by well educated,
not to say cultured, people. Just at pres
ent the ear is narrowed by phrase, or
rather word, much used by our bellies
who assist afternoon hostesses at that
function called "tea." "My DEAR"
says one girl to another, "Tm invited to
pour for Mrs. Commonwealth next
Wednesday," "Oh, are you? Well,
she asked me to turn, but I had another
engagement. Heavens and earth,
thought, what is the meaning of "pour"
and "turn? It was some time before
the verbs and their implied noun made
a connection in my brain, and then the
desire to stand these young women in a
corner was so intense retired to avoid a
demonstration.
The century has indeed grown old and
lazy where the tongue finds SO small a
word as ''tea" difficult of utterance. To
pour tea is about as simple phrase as
can be spoken, and to drop the final
word tea is to render it intolerably vul-
gar. The custom at large afternoon re-
ceptions here of having two good look
ing girls perform this service, generally
imposed on servants in well appointed
houses in London, is thoroughly Amer
ioan, and SO, too, is the abominable fault
which has grown out of it.-Boston

How Great steelyards Suit Ended.

Two Penobscot county farmers had
bought an old fashioned pair of steel
yards, each paying part of the cost, and
both used them for weighing their
produce for market. After time dis
pute arose and both claimed to own
them. The matter was carried into
court. A trial was held before jury,
and the jury disagreed. Then the case,
on some technicality, was sent to the
law court, and was again sent back for
trial. The costs up to this point had
reached about $500, about hundred
times the original cost of the steelyards.
When it came up again Judge Peters
was the presiding justice. He told the
counsel that, if continued, the costs
would be increased to such an extent
that one or the other of the parties
would lose his farm in order to pay, and
advised them to enter it neither party"
and divide the cost as it was. After a
consultation the parties said that they
were willing to do that, and it looked as
though the case would be settled.
All at once one of the contestants went
over to his counsel in the court room
and asked: "But who is going to get the
steelyards? I'll be hanged if he shall
have them" The other contestant made
the same declaration. Then the counsel
rose and said the case was just where it
was before any talk of settlement had
been made. They were willing to stop
litigation and divide the cost, but "what
could be done with the steelyards?"
'Tll fix that" said Judge Peters. ''Let
the sheriff of the county take the steel.
yards at night and go down and throw
them into the middle of the river, let
ting nobody know the exact spot, so they
never can be recovered by any one."
The contestants agreed to that PROPOSE
ton, each paid his proportionate part of
the cost, and the case was dropped

In the shops of the C. H. and d. R.R

bell that has history. 1t was attached
to a locomotive presided over by a strong.

objects of pride and alteration were first

One day at Hamilton he stood in the cab
of the engine, bell rope in hand, ready
to move the lever and stnE the tram.
when he saw bridal party approaching.
He glanced at the bride; it was the
girl he loved. His heart stopped beat
ing, he gave a groan, and dropped
dead. As he fell with the bell rope in
his hand he gave the bell loud ring
that cracked it from top to bottom, and
it was found afterward that he had died
literally of broken heart. The bell in
the shops at Hamilton is still called ''the
bell of the broken heart. st. Louis Re

PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF HOSPITAL.

VIEW OE hOcfIIAL.
In all cases the site and arrangement
should be such as TO provide for the extern
sion Of hospital accommodations in the
event of an epidemic AS the population
Ia country districts is small and widely
distributed, the proportion of the beds to
the number of inhabitants should be about
one in 500. A town of 10000 inhabitants
would require about twenty beds. The
hospital should contain two wards, each
with eight beds, with at least three rooms,
each with a single bed, for the reception of
doubtful cases. These could undergo iso-
lation and inspection until their true nat
ure was determined
In addition there should be building
containing room for the visiting physi-
clan, sitting room and bedroom for the
matron and sleeping apartments for the
nurses and cook, kitchen and dining room,
etc. This building is sometimes connected
with the main hospital building by means of
a covered passage, but in the case of con-
tagious and infectious diseases it should be
entirely detached from the hospital build
ing. The cubic space required for each
patient should not be less than 1900 feet,
with floor space Of at least 100 square
feet The windows in the wards should be
on opposite sides, opening to the air both
at the top and bottom.

These wards are thoroughly ventilated
by large shaft built of masonry To-
Gated in the center of the rooms; the foul
air is drawn off through registers placed
in the floor directly under each bed. At
the extreme ends of the building are the
isolating rooms, baths and toilet rooms, as
shown, each ventilated by separate flues.
These wings are arranged with an outside
entrance, so that they may, when desired,
be cut off from the wards.
This building is of brick, and would be
suitable for city, but the same principle
could be employed in erecting less expen-
sive structure. For example, the main
building could be constructed entirely of
wood, one story in height. and the extra
toilet and isolation rooms in the second
story omitted, in which case the building
could be erected for about $4,000.

all such girls are more or less hysterical,

LIMA, o., June 3.-The little town of
Scott, northwest of this city, was the
scene of a horrible murder last night.
Emerson Moneysmith,a restauranter of
the town, went home from the senatorial
convention, held at Van Vert, drunk
and assaulted his wife with clud. The
helpless woman was knocked down
and rendered insensible and terrible
cash cut on her head. The neighbors
heard the noise and rushed into the
house, administered to her needs and
finally brought her to her senses. In
the meantime Moneysmith had dis
appeared, but after the neighbors had
gone he returned with a revolver
and, aimed the weapon at the unpro-
tected woman, fred a bullet into her
boby, killing her instantly. Money
smith made no effort to escape and was
arrested soon afterward and placed in
the Paulding county jail for safe-keep-
ing. The murdered woman was the
daughter of j. s. Wise, a stationary
engineer of this city, and was highly
respected young woman. They have
two children, both of whom witnessed

Indications of an Intention to Take Two
Hundred to Briceville Mines.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 30.-The Tennessee
Coal and Mining company have selected
200 able-b iod men out of the convicts
at the main prison with pronounced in
tention of taking them to the Briceville
mines, how soon and by what process
nobody seems to know. The prison au-
thorities have no instructions in the mat
ter, and the prison inspectors have said
that no convicts must go back into Coal
Creek valley until the stockades are re-
built. Hence the muster is mystery.
1t is generally understood that the
miners have already announced their
intention to reject any proposition from
the lessee that offers to bring a single
convict into Anderson county, and that
they will not allow the re-erection of
the destroyed prisons.
1t is also reported that the lessees say
that they will not prosecute the leaders
of the mob that destroyed their property
for fear that they will again become
angry and visit similar judgment upon
Inman and Tracy City.
This time the warden has been care
full that no long g-term men get outside of
the walls Those selected to return to
the mines are a hardy set, and their re-
cent rest enabled them to fatten like
winter meat The BOARD of prison in
spectors met Friday afternoon to con-
slider the propriety of moving all the
convicts back to Coal Creek, Briceville
and Oliver Springs. Nothing definite
was arrived at, however.
