The latest book ami the most interest

one containing pro badly twenty Kansas
stories. Everyone of them true 10 sun

deals with speculation and a grasshopper
visitation, contains the following episode
which is fair indication of the vivid
character of the book:

A Close Gail.

From the Caldwell Journal
Wednesday morning while the Rock
Island passenger was standing at Birds
Point, being blocked by snow, small
boy came 10 them bearing the intelii-
gence that his father was about to perish
in the snow. a party of six train men
at once followed the boy to point about
half mile from the track, where they
found an old man fastened under a
wagon and almost dead from exposure.
The old man and boy had been on 4
hunting expedition, and were returning
home, when their horses started to run,
overturning the wagon, and firmly pin
ming him tc the ground. The boy could
NOT lift the wagon from him and be was
compelled to remain a witness to his
fathers suffering as he lay in the snow
with a heavy wagon holding him down.
He had remained in this position for
forty-eIght hours when the train
men, led by the boy, found
and released him. The old gem
tleman was carried to the train
and under the influence of stimulants
soon revived. The mans name is hunt
er and he is over so years old and has
spent the greater portion of his life on
the plains huntsEg and trapping. The
endurance displayed by so old man is
something wonderful, and as it was it
came near being his last hLet. Mr..
Hunter and family are old and respecta-
bic citizens of Caldwell, living in the
north part OF town.

REPUBbICANS DID IT.

Sol Miller seems inclined to diShelieve
the dec aration that the Republicans of
Kansas defeated the Republican ticket,
which in turn inclines us 10 = surprise.
The state Republican ticke+, as also the
Republican county tickets in many in
stances, were defeated by Republicans
who nevertheless voted for Harrison:
and, so defeated despite the fact that
thousands of stalwart Democrats voted
the Republican ticket straight save As to
the electors. The Republican state ticket
would have been carried by from ten to
twenty thousand votes, even with the
election of the Weaver electors. had all
the Republicans who voted for Harrison
voted the balance of the Republican
ticket. The reason for this course upon
the part of several thousand old time
Rapublican voters was dissatisfaction
with the old-oh. well, what the sense
in chawing over 4 thing that everybody
ought to know.

A Religions Absurdity.

From the LeayenwOrth Time
Professor Smith is found guilty OF
heresy at Cincinnati. That Is, he is
found guilty of believing something
contrary 10 The belief OF the church 10
which he belongs. So far. all right,
The way the Times looks at it, Profes-
scr Smith has right 70 believe what he
believes. and the rest of the church has
the right to believe something else and
decide that Professor Smith is not ortlso-
dox. But the ma joritv of the commit
tee recommend that Professor Smith
be rebuked fer his heresy; and this
seems an absurdity. How Will re-
buking him make him believe
something different? II he holds
to belief that Is contrary TO the
creed of the church we can see how the
church might desire to rid itself of him
and II would have a right TO do so, but
to rebuke his heresy as a crime savors
too much of the bigotIy of the old time
wnen men and women were burned at
the stake for believing something that
the majority of the church did not be
lieVe.

The German premier's prediction of IA
stupendous continental war in the near
future failed of the purpose for which it
was no doubt made, that is, to induce
the legislative department to make the
necessary appropriation with which to
increase the numbers and efficiency of
the empires military service. If the
government should go to the country on
this vote Of lack of confidence for the
endorsement, the wise thing for the peo-
pie OF that country TO do would be TO
sustain the reichstag. That would come
a great deal nearer preventing war than
TO comply with the governments de-
mands would. The greatest menace to
the peace of Europe is the immense
standing armies and war equipment
maintained by the leading powers.

Here is little bluff thrown out by the
Vinita, |. T., Chieftain: 1T now begins
to look as though the strip agreement
would not be ratified in its entirety,
which would without doubt be the best
thing that could happen the Cherokee
nation In that event the Cherokees
should at once take possession of that
country and aliot it among themselves.
This was the course the Chieftain adyo-
Gated before the agreement was made,
and it still thinks it feasible" The
Chleftain may be sincere in its declara-
ton, but it is clearly laboring under a
mIsapprehension. What it says is prob
ably meant to prompt congress TO act on
the treaty without delay, which itshould
do without extraneous prompting from
any SOURCE.
