Sentenced for Arson.

1t will be remembered by the readers of
the LIGHT that several weeks ago, eX-
officer Schumacher arrested girl named
Martha Sovinski, and lodged her in the
city prison on the change of arson. She
had some trouble with her brOtherin-
law, because he would not permit ner to
walk the streets at night with a man
named Maurer. She then locked herself
in her room, and thoroughly Saturating
the carpet with kerosene, set fire to it,
with the determination to burn the house
and herself. She was taken to the Thirty
Seventh district court Saturday after
noon TO answer to the charge, and her
plea was guilty. She was in consequence,
given two years in the penitentiary.
Martha is beautifuI young girl, aged
seventeen years, and would have made
quite light in social circles, had it not
been for her determination to be her own
master. She has repeatedly since her
arrest, asserted that she will ruin her
brOther-in law when she is freed, and
claims now that he has been the cause of
making her a wretch for life. The I'M
fortunate girl may have history back of
this trouble, which, if related, would
throw an entirely new light on the sub
iart

His Match.


The burglar stepped lightly into
the room.
He moved forward in the dark,
with pistol in one hand and a
bottle of chlOrOfOrm in theOther. He
was desperate and ready for any
thinf.
Especially any thing good to eat
Suddenly his foot struck some
thing and the next second an indie
Unable body hurled itself upon
him. With a muffled shrek of
fear he dropped his weapons and
grappled with the monster. He
fought and tore; he struck savage
Up at in the dense darkness but all
to no purpose.
He was only a child in the aw-
full grasp of a giant. Only for a
moment the unequal battle ragged;
then he sank upon the floor, con-
quered.
They found him the next morn
ming, cold and stiff, but too
late. And as the head of the house
disentangled the wires of his wife's

tunate burglars neck, he said, soft

KEEN DETECTIVE WORK
Of Captain Tom Hughes Lodges a
German Crook Behind the Bars.

Captain T. ]. Hughes arrested Ger
man boy, aged about IS years, and COM
mitted him to prison on the charge of be-
ing suspicious character. He gave his
name as Arthur Gerhardt.
One night last week a large jewelry
store in Austin was entered and large
amount Of valuable goods was stolen,
among other things, being several costly
gold watches. The matter was placed in
the hands OF the authorities in that city,
and it was thought by them, after an in
veStigatiOn had been made that Gerhardt
was the one who had committed the rob-
berry. He was looked for but could not
be located. A telegram was sent imme-
dlately to San Antonio ordering the arrest
OF this boy, giving his name and descrip.
ton.
Saturday evening about o'clock Cap
tain Hughes noticed strange young
man enter pawn shop on Com
merce street. He followed him in
the store room. Gerhardt pulled from
his pocket two watches and asked for a
loan on them, one being a fine watch. He
could not receive the amount asked for
and left the store. He walked down the
street and entered another place, when he
again displayed the watches. The detec-
tive waited until he transacted his bust
ness, and when he stepped to the door he
was "nabbed." When taken to the chief
detectives office, he claimed that he was
from Germany and came to this country
but five weeks ago. A letter was found
on his person addressed to Miss Jennie
Miller, in New Orleans, which had not
been mailed. He said it was letter writ
ten by his brother and placed in his care
to mail. When opened it was signed by
| lady and dated at Austin. This then led
the detective to believe he had the right
man and he locked him up.
Word was at once sent to Chief Lucy at
Austin, relating all of the circumstances
connected with the arrest, and wire
was sent back as follows: Hold priS-
oner, will send detective on night train"
The officer did not arrive last night, but
came this morning, and found Gerhardt
to be the right man. Captain Hughes
turned over the prisoner, after the ident-
cation, and he will be taken to Austin on
the evening train, where a charge OF bur-
glary and theft will be preferred against
him

The visitors began to arrive on
Saturday, and on Saturday even
ing, when the brigadier general of
the Uniform Rank arrived, the flag
of the division was hoisted to the
mast head at Castle hall, and has
flOated there ever since. Brigadier
General X. NJ. Van Zandt. on his
arrival, was met at the train by
Sir Knight l.. w. Hagy, and by
Colonies Garland, of Waco; Bon
ner, of Tyler, and Hart, of
Fort Worth members of his staff
who had proceeded him here and
whose arrival had been chronicled
by the LIGHT.
1t was expected that Major-Gen-
eral Carnahan, in whose honor the
| camp has been named, would ar
rive yesterday evening, but has
learned that he will not get here
until Thursday as he would proba-
bly, be unavoidably detained.
Most of the Knights We're expect
ed to come with the escort
committee on the Arkansas
Pass special excursion train
to arrive this evening, but there
| are so many of them to come, and
from so many directions, that they
will not be confined to any particu-
lar train and great many of them
have already arrived as an advance
guard, while each train coming in
for the next fOrty-eight hours is
expected to bring large numbers
and at least 1000 knights are eX-
pected.
Reporters for the LIGHT visited
Camp Carnahan at the Fair
grounds last evening and today
and there found all activity and
preparation for the reception of the
visitors.
The camp had been inspected by
the Brigadier and staff and they
had pronounced satisfaction with
the arrangements.
The various privileges had been
let as follows: Bar to Peter Jonas,
Jr., restaurant to John SchOepel,
wciner wurst to Joe GenSler. The
| restaurant is to charge the Knights
holding tickets but - cents per
meal and those not holding tickets
| 81 cents.
The Houston division, which
will arrive this evening, will mess
to itself and bring its own chief de
cuisine, and will live high, as it has
a number of the left-handed fishing
club along, who will act as purvey-
OrS and fOragerS.
Committees will meet every in
coming train and escort the arriv-
ing visitors to the camp grounds.
The city headquarters will be at
the Menger hotel, but they will be
welcomed everywhere in the city,
and will find the latch-string of

LIMPRICHT.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-13

to help our brothers in the awakening
struggle for reform and broader liberty
we must first study and understand the
issues which menace and control that
liberty or check reform by heaping upon
it burdens too heavy TO be borne.
Granted that the full and free emsnci-
patton OF all intelligent human beings,
regardless of sex, is the corner stone Of
all great strides upward. l would place
foremost smo1g the socalled leading
issues Of the day which We must care
fully study
THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
Upon it all others must hinge, to q
greater or less extent, truth which re-
cent experiences have sent fOrcibly home
to Us all. Give no place or thought to the
theories Of political demagogues or lead
ers, until you have mastered the problem
in natures text book and CLEANED from
the history of the past all that its lessons
can teach, and are able to clearly read
the handwriting traced in human suffer
ing by the index finger Of time.
First Of all, what is money? Is it merely
the representative or receipt Of labor, or
is it, as politicians tell US, medium Of
exchange which possesses intrinsic
value? IL the first then why Is not a
piece OF paper or linen, marked with the
government stamp, as desirable Rs some
precious metal which is cumbersome to
handle and which requires such immense
waste Of labor and expense to dig from
the earth and convert into coin. II
lsL or is wealth, or money, then why not
say to Europe and Wall street, "You will
have to take the receipt for that labor
stamped on paper or cloth as the masses
Of the American people do to-day or go
without" If on the other hand money
must have intrinsic value, then what is
intrinsic value? Politicians and politi-
cal scientists have tried over and over
again to tell us, but somehow We women
could never quite understand. Men
looked wise and seemed to grasp it all
and we were told we could not compre-
hend because we were women. But /
have discovered secret, my dear sisters,
which must be whispered softly. "Be-
cause we were women" has been an old
trick OF some men from time immemorisl
for avoiding gracefully something that
they themselves did not understand, az
in this instance. I have searched dill
gently but have been unable to find one
man who could tell just what intrinsic
value wRs-simply because there was no
such thlng-fusncislly speaking at least.
Neither diamonds, gold, silver or iron
have any value save that created by sup
ply and demand. We are told that gold
has been made money because Of its in
trinsic value, but We knOU better. We
know that gold has been made money
because of its scarcity and cost Of pro-
duction, therecy making it easier for the
rick and powerful to control it's volume
and through it the great human masses
whose bresd and shelter depend on the
daily labor of their hands. II gold had
intrinsic value that value would be con-
slant, or nearly so, but in reality it has
fluctusted like the Kansas winds. From
1889 to 1909 it fell in value 46 per cent,
in the next forty years it rose 145 per

The beginning and end ofthe
Horse Blanket question is 5A.
That mark has the same signif-
canoe on a horse blanket that the
seal of the government has on
gold certificate-it's an absolute
guarantee of value. 5A Horse
Blankets are made with a special
view to strength, durability, and
comfort for the horse. Once you
get a 6IA Blanket you will not
need another for many years; per-
haps not for a life time-your
horse will last longer, too. Ask
the dealer for a 5lA and be sure
the trade mark is in plain sight.

AN OPEN LETTER
To the Members Of the WOman'S Pro
grsszive Political League.

eF's Wife, paper on Economic Co
operation" as a WOmsn's Progressive
Political League political economist, l
am at loss to know what course to fol-
low. Political economy is one thing and
practical economic co operation with
our sister lssgues and with our brothers
in the Populist party to-day and now is,
in reality, quite different thing.
In all our higher institutions Of learn
ing we are taught that in political, as
in all other sciences, nature must be the
teacher and guide; that sll her benef-
Charles, all her resources must be util"
lied in the broadest and fullest sense for
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der; that liberty means equal rights and
privileges to ell and that co operation is
the strength OF states and nations. Then
both teacher Rrd taught turn to the
polls with ballot which elects to office
a man whose svowsd policy 10 in def
Rnce OF nature; whose only conception OF
liberty is the gratifying and glorifying
Of his own person, the total disfrancbiSe-
ment Of one-hslf of the human race and
the power to manipulate two thirds Of
the other half; man who transforms
co operation into corporation and then
seeks to shape laws and public policies
that shall benefit the powerful few, re-
gardless Of the wants, or justice to the
many, who through poverty, or other
unfaVorsble conditions, are rendered
powerless.
Nature, common sense and political
science sgain teach us that wherever any
article OF consumption may be produced in
the best condition with the least labor
and expense, there it should bs produced
for the ben .ft Of all states and nations
alike, political administration steps in
with q tariff club And says that Kansas
must produce sugar and coffses ss we'll
as corn and wheat;ostrichp lumes as we'll
as Christmas turkeys, and merino sheep
as we'll as cslfsklna; or pay fine which
must needs be raised to enlarge the
pockets of few manufacturers, import
ers and custom house officials.
Again the same three sources OF inspi-
ration--nature, common sense and pOIG-
tIcaI scienee--tell US that labor and labor
alone produces wealth, that money which
we term wealth is only the representa-
ton or medium Of exchange for labor;
yet existing conditions are such that
labor receives only mere pittsDce OF
the wealth which it produces, that pit
tance being paid in "greenbscks" which
are good enough for the lRborer but not
good enough for England and our mil
lionRires who must have metal made
valuable because OF its scarcity and cost
Of production, thereby lesseIing the
amount which may be in circulation and
increasing the power and influence of
his own golden eagles. have some
times wondered if diamonds would not
be- demanded next for currency. They
fiIl all the requirements claimed by poll
ticians and their greater scarcity renders
them still more valuable than gold.
IL man, equipped with what he be
lieves to be full

and himself the government, will make
such application Of his theories and OF
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-13

IL seems we'll nlBu Us SuScOlVo w
theorize on the character and inhsbi-
tants of the moon as for women to talk
of cooperation in political affairs. Like
Prometheus, chained to the rocks OF fate,
we may moan and groRn and long for
freedom with which we might accom-.
plisb much, the while we helplessly en-
dure as the vultures devour our homes
and rob the nation of it's manhood and
liberty. Once loose these chains, my
brother, and you shall not find US lack
irg in gratitude and ability to aid you
in the great struggle for human pro-
gress and liberty. Man represents the
structure Of both home and nation and
woman it's soul, and the reason why our
nation is so grand and glorious in it's ex
terror, but soulless, Is because woman
and home have been shut outrot it.
But despite oil her hindrsnces, bound
in political slavery, bitter prejudice and
social and financial dependence, woman
hes, in every emergency, come to the
rescue; been a tower Of strength to her
fsltering brothers and then gone back to
her humble and secluded life unherslded
and unrewardsd, silently to endure
while her home has been shipwrecked,
her sons and daughters offered sscri-
fee for sin and injustice against which
her soul cried out in shame and anguish.
WOMAN HAS NO HISTORIAN
for man has made history, but when /
look through the unwritten pages which
God has not forgotten and see the hosts
Of silent enduring lives which God re-
members, my soul cries out how long,
oh Lord, how long, until thou wilt lift
the chains of sex and condition and
woman may claim for herself, her home
and her loved ones, the same represen-
tRtion and protection which has been
accorded only to mans dignity and
dollars.
If woman can accomplish what she has
in her dependence, what could she not
accomplish il given the equal liberty
with man to exercise ell her God given
powers and with that the hope of re-
ward. Women are mortal and not
ethereal beings, and down deep in every
true womsn's heart comes a JOY and
glRdnebs from making q place for herself
in the world; in receiving for her own
merit the honor and respect of her fell
lows, more than merely receiving the
courtesy given as q reflection from the
goodness and greatness of some man
whose dependent she may be.
But to-day there is greater impetus
given to the woman Of Kansas than ever
before and / am assured that they will
respond with correspOndingly increased
activity. The hope Of reward is new
sensation in. our long struggle and plead
ings for political liberty and il with the
redoubled energy we bring to bear the
fortitude and economy practiced in the
management Of the material wants OF our
households, we shall indeed accomplish
much, the coming year, toward the sue
cess Of any party or measure to which
we may devote ourselves. While we as
members Of the Woman's Progressive
Political League are in hearty sympathy
with the leading measures Of the Popu.
