Took the Revolver for Costs.
The story of Nevada justice of the
peace who impanneled a jury tried a
man for murder, and, on return of a
verdict of guilty, sentenced him TO be
hanged, has been eclipsed.
James Wells, contractor who is en-
gagged in an irrigation scheme near FL
lensburgh, arrived in the city the other
evening, and said the little city is all
excitement over series of events that
occurred there, one of which was the
trial of dead man on charge of car
rying a concealed weapon. Thus the
story runs:
A circus company carrying on as side
show attraction a giant African over
seven feet high and of proportionate
weight had been showing IN the town

one OF the biggest cards in the show
next to the elephants, but, like those
animals. If appears he was also clnmsy,

The Equitable Record says: ''Iife in
surance in this country has had its rise
almost entirely within the last thirty
years. In 1861 the entire amount in
force in all the companies was, in round
numbers $500, OG0, coo. Now we have
gained the mile-post of $4,000, 600. 600. 3"
The growth of this business has been
most phenomenal, but that of the old
line companies has not been so great
during the past ten or twelve years rs
previously, on account of the springing
up of number of fraternal aid societies
The amount of insurance carried by
these societies is not so great in the
aggregate as the old line companies
represent, but they probably carry a
larger number of persons,

Mysterious Jerry.

From the Leavenworth Times.
So long as there was chance of its
passage Jerry Simpson acted very mys-
teriously concerning the Cherokee strip
bill and it was openly charged thas he
was opposing it in order TO keep his
constituents at home until after cleo
ton. Now that congress is about to adj
lourn, and it is too late to secure its
passage, the willy Jerry is masking a
great show of favoring the bill and max
ing harsh charges against those who
oppose it. Jerry has very poor opin-
ion of the intelligence of the voters of
the Seventh district.

THE KANSAS FARMER.

A man who owns a farm anywhere
within the golden belt of Kansas, unin-
numbered, is the man, in these times of
depressed securities, watered stocks and
close competition in trade and in manu-
features, to be envied Whatever the
prices or whichever party may be in
power, such land owner is the most in
dependent, and the most secure from
troubles, whether of financial or politi-
cal character. Prices for products are
low, but the prices on everything a
farmer has to buy are correspondingly
low. In three years out of the last ten
in this belt there has been partial fail
ures of crops only. y farm in this Sec
ton industriously cultivated means a
large surplus of grain, and increasing
herds of valuable live stock; means
abundance, independence and comfort.
Such farmer and owner will have money
not only to expend in Improvements, but
money to bank and to spend; will have
money to add TO his possessions and
money to carry his less proVident
neighbor's mortgage.

THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.

Many people do not seem to under
stand even yet how the cut in wages and
strike at Homestead came about. 1t was
this way. 1t grew out of a fall in the
price of steel billets from $2S to $22 per
ton, whereupon the proprietors wanted
to reduce wages in proportion. but the
expert men who were getting from
$40. &c per day of eight hours down to
So SO, struck. The average wages paid
to the expert men in these works were
S7.76 per day as against $3.50 per day
paid in England for exactly the same
work.
The Capital in reviewing this question
at length truthfully says:
The wages paid under the Amalga-
mated scale in the protected steel in
dustry are an earnest of the final
triumph of labor III the struggle for ideal
rights. If the fact that so a day aud
an eight hour day at that, is paid for
physical labor III an iron mill in the
United States is not vindication OF the
theory and practice of protection, then
there is nothing but fooiishness in the
proverb that tree is known 10y lis
fruits. Twenty years ago, when the
free trade press Was ridiculing the pro-
fessions of protectioniSts that steel rails
could be made in this country with
proper protection, you could not have
induced the struggling wage-earner to
believe that within that brief period
'heaters" would receive S9.SS, rollers
SITS and upwards, ''converters" $50,
"ladle men, 1915, and blast furnace
keepers" So. % for eight hours work.
And those wages have been paid during
the lass year in spite of d reduction in
price of steel rails from S140 a ton
twenty years ago to So a ton today.

THE EAGLE SPREADS IT'S WINGS

THE EAGLE SPREADS IT'S WINES
From the Arkansas City Border Bulletin
Border Bulletin likes the Wichita EAGLE
for two important reasons. First 1t Is a
fearless exponent of Republican principles
and second, because it contains valuable
matter from all parts of the state, thus
giving its readers an elegant opportunity
to keep pace with their neighhors in all
sections. In fact, the EAGLE is verti-
able encyclopedia. Expressions from
leading Republicans furnish food for
thought, and many bright ideas are
cleaned from its well filled columns.
There is nothing little in the EAGLE
notwithstanding its editor was promi
nent candidate for governor who happened
to be unfortunate in the race, he is out
spoken for the choice of the people,
Farmer Smith, and not only carries that
geptleman's name in the state ticket, but
is doing hard fighting for his success.
Murdoch spreads the wings and his EAGLE
does the rest.
