A HUSBANDS SACRIFICE.
Homer II. Baldwin Will Give HIS Skin T.
Save His Wife's Life.


New YoRK, Feb. 24.-Homer R. Bald
win, whose wife was frightfully injured
in the New York Central Railroad COLI
sion at Hastings on Christmas Eve, is
about to undergo a painful operation
that his wife may be relieved from the
agony she suffers,
Before the accident Mrs. Baldwin was
a youthful and handsome woman, but
now she lies in the Getty House at
Yonkers crippled and frightfully dishg-
ured. Her left arm has been amputa ted
Just above the wrist; the bones OF the
right hand protrude through the flesh;
both ears are gone and her head, from
the eyes to the base of the skull, is raw
and blistered. Her right hand Will have
to be amputated, and it is probable that
another operation will have TO be per
formed on her left arm.
Mrs Baldwin, by miracle, saved her
sight, but an operation will have to be
performed to restore her eyellds TO
| proper condition. On her head the hair
for a space Of several inches in circum-
ference has been burned away, and the
skull, scorched and chalky in appear
ance is laid bare to the sight.
The upper layer of bone is dead and
will have to be scraped away, and on thu
inner layer a new integument will b.
grated,
The skin for this purpose will be takei
from Mr.. Baldwin's arms. Dr. Schopen
who has attended Mrs. Baldwin since tn
accident, will perform the operation.
The only nervousness that Mr.. Baldwin
feels about the operation is that his wifi
will not survive If she does it will b
due to his bravery and love.

SPRING FLOOD,

The situation along the Ohio and lower
Mississippi rivers i'll relation to the inn
pending food grows more alarming hour
~. The real danger is to the country be-
tween Cairo and New Orleans. Between
Memphis and Helena, on the Arkansas
side of the river, is the weakest portion
of the levee system. 1t has been raining
almost necessarily for three or four davs
throughout west Tennessee, North Miss
issiypi, Arkansas and along the Ohio
river, with little prospect, at last reports,
of better weather. At Helena the water
has passed the danger line.
The Ohio is rising at Evansville, Louis
vile, Cincinnati and Pittsburg. and
along the entire river there are rains.
Being now bank full, with the St.
Francis basin mighty reservoir. ex-
tending over east Arkansas, rise of an
other foot would do incalculable damage

Orleans, on which cotton and corn are
growing, and which a rise covering the
ground for only few days would ruin.

Hast Lost Nothing
From the Topeka Lance.

The tribute TO Colonel Murdoch by the Re-
publcans of Sedgwick county, in almost de-
Inanding that he reconsider his expressed de-
termination 10 withdraw his candidacy, and
allow them 10 present his name TO the Rcpub-
ican nominating convention for governor, was
one of the most hattering that could be paid
man. And under the circumstances enc would
have to be a little more than mortal to resist
the complimentary appeal. In withdrawing
his name from before the people, three weeks
ago Colonel Murdoch was honest and sincere
in again consenting TO become the candidate
of his people, under tine circumstances, he
loses nothing of the many mertOrious traits
that have served to make him one of the lead
ing citizens Of the state and one of the best
men Kansas could select for her chief execu-
tive. There was unconscious geDeralship in
the withdrawal and re-eutry OF Colonel Muir

cumstances that occasionally contribute to
the success of generals in the field, and turn
seeming rout into victory.

ABOUT CANVASSERS.

In Justice to the individual followers
of much maligned vocation, the inter
esting facts just set forth by an eastern
correspondent deserve notice. The cor
respondent rightly affirms that so far
from being an act of ignominy book
canvassing is a thing to glory in, proud
and famed profession.
Napoleon Bonaparte. when a poor
lieutenant, once took the agency for
a work entitled 81 Historic de la Revo-
luton" There is in the Louvre today
an exhibit of the emperor's canvasslng
outfit, with plethoric roll of subscri-
bers' names attached. Moreover, George
Washington was book-agent, selling
over two hundred copies of a work
known as "BydeIrs American Savage.
And the great galaxy of canvassers of
subscription books includes also Mark
Twain, Longfellow, Jay Gould, Daniel
Webster, General Grant, r. b. Hayes,
and Prince Bismarck. James q. Blaine
once solicited subscriptions for life of
Henry Clay.

The Typical Man.

From the Neodesha Register.
The Murdoch boom has again burst forth
and is sweeping the prairies like a Kansas
wind, gathering intensely as it grows. The
citizens of Wichita and Sedgwick, after having
punctured it, met in mass meeting and in
stead of sewing up the rent manufactured a
bran new boom out the best material fully
warranted to stand the pressure OF 100000
pounds to the inch and the way it is moving
over the state is only equalled by the way in
which other booms which Wichita has started
have reached their destined ends. The fact of
it is that Murdoch stands better show today
for the nomination at Topeka than any other
candidate. Why should he not? Clean,
upright, straightforward, independent, ADLER
manly, moral, honest, energetic, aggressive,
conservative, he is an old Kansan and a typical
man. He belongs to no crowd, clique" or
ring" How are YOU Governor Murdoch?

GUBERNAToR1AL PoLEMIcs.
! Few Excerpts From Many News
paper Editorials of the Past Week.
The Big Southwest.

Correspondence Topeka Capitol.
The very happiest feeling seems to have been
inspired by Colonel Murdock's renewed candi-
dacy for the sovernorship. and anything like
the enthusiasm now to be witnessed here has
seldom been seen in the home of any political
candidate.
1t is conceded by the best posted men in this
section that no man can rob Murdoch of the
eleven big counties surrounding Wichita. viz:
Sedgwick, Butler, Cowley Sumner, Harvey.
Reno, Harvey. Barber, Kingman. Chautauqua
and Elk, which combined will have ITO votes
in the convention, and this is only slice of
the eastern end of the big section which
claims Murdoch as its favorite son. 1t is safe
to say Sedgwick county will give Murdoch
1000 more votes than any other candidate, and
the big Seventh altogether 10000 more than
anyone else,
1t Is claimed that politicians from surround
ing towns that their localities are as enthusi-
astic as Wichita. and that Murdoch is really
stronger today than before his withdrawal.
1t really looks now as though, If there is to be
any fusion at all in this section, it viii be a
coalition of the Republicans, Democrats and
Alliance on Murdoch.

He is Not the Tool of a. Plot,

From the Lawrence Daily World.
1t is gratifying to see a mans home town
stand by him so Loyalty as Wichita is standing
by Murdoch. Usually long residence begets
opposition and enmity, but in this case it has
cemented friendship. Murdoch not only has
done more for Wichita than any man in it,
but he has done as much for the state as any
of them. Murdoch was the Worlds first choice
for governor and is yet. 1t cannot consent to
go back on its first love, There is question
but what Murdoch would make the best gov
ernor of any man that is mentioned and it is
to be hoped that he is in for business. Those
knowing the man would never credit the
statement that he would become party to
any polit cal plot # he knew il but he may
consciously be a tool TO the very men he has
been fighting so effectualy.

"Had Secretary Bayard remained in
office, says the Philadelphia Record,
''the Boring Sea controversy would have
been settled long ago on the very ground
that has been reached at last by Har-
rison's administration. 1t is mere as
sumption that the terms of agreement
that obtain were the same or anything
like those proposed by Bayard, while
abe reasonable presumption is that they
are altogether different But granting
'hat they are, the Records claim is an
idle boast: Bayard had four years in
which to settle the dispute, and the facts
of the case are, it was further
from settlement when he retired than
when he undertook the Job.

The political methods of the Demo-
cratic bosses of Kansas City and St.
Louis are so rank of infamy that two of
the candidates for the party nomination
for governor actually refuse to enter
either place in quest OF support. They
seem to think that the opposition of
those INSCRIPTIONS tricksters will do
them more good than harm with the
honest yeomanry. Probably it would if

The Coming Man.

From the Peabody Graphic.
TO this request Colonel Murdoch has assent
ed with promise that he be spared the neces-
sity of the usual methods of politicians, and
the nomination he rendered him without re-
sorting to political wire pulling.
We thought when the announcement of the
withdrawal of Murdoch was made that the
temper of the people of Wichita and southern
Kansas would not permit such damper to be
put on their enthusiasm and therefore the
Graphic said all the time that the withdrawal
didn't go.
The other candidates are ali looking for a
convenient place to fall in when the drop
comes, for there is no shadow of doubt but
what Murdoch is the coming man.

Russia has more than one string to her
bow in Asia. Disappointed as she is for
the present in securing the friendship of
the Ameer of Afghanistan, she has
turned to Persia and offered to loan the
government of that country enough
money to buy off the English company
which was granted the tobacco monopoly
in the land of Iran. The shah is notori-
ously anti-Enslish; and if he should
accept this offer a serious blow would be
struck at British influence in Persia, and
another step gained in the Russian march

EOr Kansas 8


From the wabsnnsee County Enterprise
Wichita Republicans are trying to pull
Marsh Murdoch back into the gubernatorial
track.
Since Mr.. Murdock's residence in Wichita,
his chief aim has been the upbuilding of that
city, which he held from geographical and
commercial reasons must make city. He is
a firm believer in the destiny of Wichita and
the future prosperity of all parts of Kansas
and in setting forth the wherefore and the
beauties of his country his pen is never idle.
