Pope Joan without a Lag to stand On
From the London Daily News.


In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted. there
is still widespread popular belief that
there existed in the middle ages a female
pope. Pope Joan, as she is called, has
even given her name to a game Of cards,
which is mentioned in Sheridan's School
for Scandal.
The tradition with regard to the female
pope has been traced back to the eleventh
century, but she is said 10 have lived
much earlier, her pOntiicate having
taken place in the ninth century. and hav-
ing lasted for more than two years The
name she is alleged TO have assumed
is John VII. At the last meeting
of the Academy Of Inscriptions
in Paris. NJ. Muntz dealt another blow a {
story which Gibbon. who cannot be sus-
pected Of Catholic preiudices, considered
had been "annihilated" by two protest
ant critics, Blondel and Bayle
NJ Mpnt characterizes the legend as u
vulgar fable invented in the middle ages
Never. he declares, after a careful study
of the question, has woman worn the
tiara. and, moreover, there was no inter
regnum at the period when the pre-
tended John VII governed the church.

THE SACRIFICE.
The procession winds slowly down the
glen toward the tomb of Sheikh Adj,
where the lights CLEAN brightly in the
distance. In rear of the party now a
.'tshavish" leads one of the sacred white
kline from the drove dedicated to the sun
flowers twisted IN its horns and attended
by the whole multitude of Yezidis in or
DERBY array AS the procession moves
along the women of the "Faikraya'' chant

ment of the ''kawals' - flutes and tam
bourines Arrived ut the Saints rest
ting-place, halt is made in the court
ward surrounding the main building, the
heifer is bound and killed, not by cutting
its throat in ordinary eastern fashion, but
by opening the chest and inserting a
hand, which grasps the palpitating heart
of the victim, squeezes the blood out, and
then tears it from the body, to cast it in
front of the peacock angel. Toe carcass
is then hewn in pieces and distributed
among the YeZdi worshipers, who return
to their respective encampments.
Priest and fakir, chief and neophyte,
enter the tenements allotted to them
near Sheikh Adds tomb. One by one the
lights on the hillside and under the trees
are extinguished, and the sanctuary of
devil-worshipers is given over TO dark
ness and silence.

Farmers are complaining that the
early sown wheat which IS now COM

One of Mr. Lieble's little boys mel
with very painful accident Saturday.
He accidently got underneath the feet

will make him a cripple for some weeks

to town where DIR. Campbell dressed
the wound.
While men are bowling in mad fury
in cities, begging work with maniacal
parades and riots and senseless threats,
the broad farms about, in the west and
northwest, are suffering for laborers.
There is work and food and plenty of
rest at night. The pity of people
should not be wasted on any man,
educated or ignorant, who, in time of
want, is too elegant OF too lazy 10 do
even manual labor. We cannot make
world, but We can gracefully accept
it as it comes to US.
Mr.. Jordan has returned from his
trip to Ohio and in conversation with
him we learn that be is still better
satisfied with Kansas and Barton
county than ever. He says the people
in Ohio are worse off than they are
here, because they have no new crop
and their supply of old grain has been
consumed. The best and only good
crop of corn that be saw on his trip
was in eastern Kansas. It's the same
old story, of every Kausan who re-
turns from a trip. They always see
something worse than they have at
home.

After the Wrong Man.

Last week one day a man bought a
horse and saddle at Hoisington, and
after paying for bis purchase in hard
cash, started north. After he had
been gone out of town a while D. j.
Lewis and VIM. Bannester thought he
answered TIE description of a train
rubber for whom a reward of $500
was offered. They started after and
overlook him a few miles from town,
and called on him to give himself up.
He asked for their authority and pa
pers, and when he found they had
none. refused to be stopped and whip
ping up his horse started off, with the
two men in hot pursuit. They fred
quite a number of shots at him, and
be returned the compliment He was
finally persuaded TO give up; was
brought to Hoisington and examined
before Justice Kniseley, who turned
him loose as not answering the de-
scriptinn of the train robber. He
then flied complaint against his cap
tors, chaging them with assault with
intent to kill. Lewis and Bannester
gave bonds for their appearance for
examination IN this city on the 18th
instant.

Shot by Mistake.

Sunday night a shooting occurred
at Ellinwood that will doubtless result
in the death of an innocent young
man. 1t appears that some young
fellows from Great Bend were in one
of the Ellinwood joints, and got into
row over a game of cards One young
fellow drew a gun, but he finally got
out of the room and started towards
the depot. The city marshal, Fred
Schroeder, was notified, and started
in search of the two men, or boys,
who created the trouble. Seeing two
men running TOWARDS a train which
was pulling into the station, he called
on them to halt As they kept on
running he drew his gun and fired,
the shot striking one of the two and
and bringing him down. The other
threw up his hands and gave himself
up. It then developed that neither
of these two were the men who the
marshal was after, that the one shot,
named Ruffner, was young fellow
from Denver, and with his companion
was running to catch the train. The
shot entered bis back, and is said to
have lodged in his lungs. Schroeder
was brought to Great Bend by the
sheriff, and is under $1,000 bonds to
appear for preliminary examination
next Monday, the 9th.

The effort made by some bigoted,

dice against some of the candidates Oh
the democratic ticket because those
candidate happen to be of Catholic
parentage, is un American, unmanly
and uncalled for. Besides, it is going
to do just the opposite from weakening
our candidates, for the reason that
nine out of ten of the voters in Barton
county are opposed to mixing politics
with religion in any manner
