TOPEKA. Kan, April %
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
\ Kansas scientist has evolved plan
by which approaching cyclones can be
bombarded and many lives and thou
sands of dollars worth of property saved
from destruction. The scientist is DR..
c. r. Carpenter of Leavenworth, who
has given this subject a great deal of
study during the past five years.
DR.. Carpenter 9ays that the great MIS-
sissippi and Missouri valleys compose
the cyclone center of the continent. His
theory is to have every city that is large
enough to have fire department also
have "a cyclone station where men could
be trained 10 watch for coming twister
and then DESTROY it before II could reach
the city, by exploding it with torpedoes,
In an interview with the doctor as tc
! the modus operandi of tackhng a Kansas
cyclone, corraling and destroying It's
forces. he said: Il would have station
sufficiently high to permit the watchmer
to see one when it is coming. Let the

Secretary Morton is credited with
originating the harbor day idea, but
whether that is true or not he holds TO it
and seems inclined to make it a feature
in his administration of the agricul-
tural department of the government.
His latest suggestion is to the railroads
of he country, that they plant a row of
trees CT hedge on each side of their track.
This Is not 4 new application of the tree
planting idea, though it is entirely prac-
iicablc and worthy of adoption by all
tie roads OF the country. Some have
done so 10 considerable extent. One
in particular has carried il 10 an extent
10 attract the attention OF ali who travel
It's mail line-the Illinois Central has not
only planted trees along each side OF lis
right OF way but at almost every station
il has lis depot grounds nicely parked.
Such enterprise would entail bat com
paratively tritling expense 10 the roads
and il would nor only be profitable TO the
roads but would add much 10 the pleas
urableness of railroad travel.

Forty thousand peaceable Jews have
been ordered bv the car TO break up
their homes and leave Rostev. If they
use fraudulent passports TO reach our
shores they will be seized, extradited
under the new treaty and sent as slaves
TO the mines of Siberia until death re-
leases them from bondage. This is no
fancy picture, and there are many
people in this country who regard
that the ratification of the treaty by the
present administration which makes
such conditions possible, the browning
shame of the American nation.

NO REASON ZOE ALARM

Half in justification OF the attempts OF
Wall street 10 press the United States
treasury into its service by the issue of
bonds, the New York Press declares
there is no reason for alarm at the pres
ent financial situation, in which declara-
ton, however meant, the Press Is cor
rect. The United States has more gold
than England, the greatest commercial
nation of Europe. 1t has more gold
than any other nation III the world ex-
cept France. With $40, 600, 900 worth
of Tie yellow metal in the country, &C
cording TO treasury estimates, 1t is alb
surd to assert that the exports of gold
now going on threaten the national
prosperity. The wealth of the United
States was never SO great as II IS today.
The credit OF tie American republic,
thanks to Republican craftsmanship and
patriotism, is the best credit in existence.
The United States is the only country
that ever sold its 2 per cent bonds at
par. The resources at the command of
the United States government are prac-
tica!lv unlimited. There is no reason
why any American citizens should be
disturbed by the clamor of anarchists.

horrible tragedy occurred at Dripping
Springs, tlree miles east Of Crab Or
chard, this afternoon, in which Rodney
Singleton Was killed and D. G. Slaugh-
ter. proprietor Of Greenbrler Springs,
was fatally shot, and VIII Stamper seri-
ouslv wounded. There was dance at
Dripping Springs and Slaughter was
prompting the dance, when Stsmper,
who was drunk, tried to create dis
turbance. Slaughter ordered him from
the hall, when two OF his friends,
the Lackey brothers, interfered
in his behalf A general fight
ensued In which Stamper was struck on
the head with pistol and elected. he
returned I'm about an hour, accompanied
by Rodney Singleton, and proceeded to
clean out the place. Without saying a
word they drew their weapons and
opened fire on Slaughter and the
Lacbey brothers, who were fixed for
them, and a fight ensued. Slaughter
emptied his revolver, striking Single
ton in the abdomen, and while the lat
ter was in the throes Of death spraug

VIENNA ANARCHISTS CAPTURED.

Lots of Documents, Fire Arms and Bombs
Ready for Loading Found In Cellar.
VIENNA, September 24.-The Anar-
chists Of this city lately, or to fix the
time exactly, since the visit OF Herren
Bebel and Enges to this city about a
week ago, have undertaken an active
campaign in Vienna. The Anarchist
movement seems to have been under
taken in the most systematic manner.
The police have repeatedly found In the
streets early in the morning, numbers
Of violent pamphlets strewn about for
the workmen to pick up as they went 10
their daily tasks. In addition
the police have found violently worded
placards pasted against the walls IN
prominent places, addressed to work
men and soldiers, and calling upon
them to rise and assert themselves. The
police learned that secret meetings OF
Anarchists were held In a Sleben Brun-
ner strasse, in which two cabinetmakers
named Franz Hespel and Stephen
Hanael presided. The police waited
until the house referred TO was well
filed with Anarchists and then they
surrounded II with policemen, broke In
the doors and arrested the Anarchists,
who made desperate resistance. When
the police had handCutfed and marched
them to the police depot, the de-
tectives searched the building
and found printing press
piles OF paper, large supply OF type
and heads of Anarchist pamphlets
ready for distribution. But this was
only a mild portion Of the seizure made
by the police OF Se6en Drummer
Strasse. In the cellar the police found
cases filled with revolvers and large
chest full of bombs, untitled but ready
for loading, and with all the necessary
explosive charges close to hand. This
last discovery has caused tremendous
sensation here, and 1t Is intensified by
the fact that 1t is known that the An
archist rendezvous just raided is only one
OF a number OF such places known TO
exist In this city.
Besides the Anarchists arrested at
Seben Drummer Strasse, the police
have taken into custody eleven mem
bers OF the independent group OF Social.
lists. The majority OF the men arrested
boast OF the fact that they are disciples
OF Herr Most, now Of New York; they
appear also TO be connected with the
English branch Of Anarchists OF
Europe.
It's believed that great AID wide
spread conspiracy against the city OF
vienna has been nipped in the bud,
and it is understood that II the police
had not raided the house to-day, that
Sunday possibly would have witnessed
a terrible Anarchist outbreak.
