A Horrible Thing.
Lamar Missourian.

Lamar Missourian.
A boy. afflicted with fits. died at
the poor farm, four miles south of
town. some time Saturday night Iu
an old cabin practically unattended
by any save a fellow pauper or two,
one Of whom was an idiot. the unfor-
tunate lad died, and early Monday
morning. as We learn, the lower por-
tion OF his face and part of cheek
were found to be eaten away by rats.
Had the mutilation occurred after
death. this chapter would be suffi
ciently dark and forbidding; but, hor.
rible to relate the sombrs shadows
are but intensified by the conjecture
amounting almost to belief on the
part of some, that the poor boy was
living, when the rats got at his face.
We are told that, on Monday after
noon, when DR.. Stone viewed the
corpse, there were signs of blood
around the edges of the bites, which
fact but adds strength to the latter
theory. The farm is kept by = Mr..
Clark, whose csrdrct in this matter
should be rigidly investigated

A Woman Mayors Troubles.

Wichita, Oct. 9.-The austere rule
OF Mrs. Jennie Paxton, mayor of Kio.
wa has at last led to An open rupture.
Yesterday a petition signed by al
most the entire business community
was presented to her, asking her to
retire from Office.
kiowa, an old cattle town, has al
ways been known as liberal, and
much of its business has resulted
from the patronage of COW men.
Mrs. Pa1ton's race for the mayoralty
last spring, though made for the
avowed purpose Of closing the ga
looms, was regarded as such q huge
joke that little attention was paid to
her, and she slipped in by few
votes. Ever since her election she
has kept up warfare On the joints,
and early this week she deputized a
special squad of police to close them
and keep them closed The business
men then got together, told the
ioiutists to keep open aud hired an
attorney to defend them. 1t soon
developed that there Is no city erdi
dance under which Mrs. Paxton has
power to close the joints SO every
thing is wide open again.
Mrs. Paxton is III Il quandarv.
The W. C. I. [. Of the city urge her
to retain her Office. bat other lnflu-
ences are pulling in the opposite di-
recsion, and it is hard to foretell the
outcome

TO STOP PENSION GRABBING.
IN Organization of Soldiers tor That
Purpose in Washington.

Washington, D. c., October s.
The society Of Loyal Volunteers has
been organized in Washington. 1t
is not the intention Of the organiza-
ton to conflict with any other. The
founders are Grand Army men who
believe that the time has come for
c',rc..i.d action against the dishon
urab,c I. n,,,r of the pension busi-
ness. The movement, as set fol th
i'll the purposes of the organization
'rs n,ely patriotic and philanthro-
pic, aud is opposed to one Of the
best orgauiz-d, we'll managed and
wealthy syndicates Of money makers
in the country-the pension attor-
neys.
One of the objects Of the society
is to destroy the pension attorneys
business. If the people do not now
rally to the support of this effort of
the old soldiers to relieve their hon
or from the lnercenary stain that is
being put on them by the sophistries
and Industries of the pension attor-
nsys they should hereafter pay,
without murmur demand for
more and larger pensions that may
be made.
impairment of earning capacity
is declared to be the only just basis
for pensions. 1t is further set forth
that the weakness of every com
pany, regiment, battalion aud divis-
ion was in the shirks, towards and
vice-destroyed men who incumbered
its muster rolls, devoured ite sub.
Stance and crowded honest but dis
abled men out of the hospitals. Such
men do not hesitate to-day to live
on the generous gratitude of the poor
through payments made on the pen
sions obtained by fraud or at the ex-
pense of honor. Men of the same
type are to day the leeches and evil
doers of society"
We demand, says the founders,
''that the pension legislation of the
past of the future shall be revised
