A Renewed Danger.

Last year people aud press ire

in an earnest attack upon the Louis
lana Lottery as a source of danger TO
public morality and of political cor
ruption wherever it came in contact
with State or city affairs 1t was an
nounced that the Lottery Company
had bowed before the storm of public
opinion, and would not ask re-
newal Of its charter A great moral
victory seemed to have been gained.
But now it appears that the COM
pauy has only retired to renew the
fight from distance. 1t has bought
an island in the Bay of Honduras,
and may almost be said to have
bought the Honduras government
also-so extensive are the concessions
given 1t In reGurn for a million dol
lars in gold and a large percentage
on all tickets sold.
One might at first thought rejoice
IN the removal from our shores of
this great evil, whose annual profits
Of many millions Of dollars have been
drawn, dollar by dollar from almost
every village and city in the United
States; but it is certain that its in
tention is still to subsist on this
country.
international postal laws will per-
NIT it to deluge our mails with sealed
circulars. Even now, despite the
law, lottery advertisements thinly
disguised may be found in half the
theater programs all over the country.
A law making the sending or receiv-
ing Of lottery tlckets-whether by
mail, express or OtherwlSe.--a penal
offense has been proposed, and might
meet the danger That some stricter
legislation than now exists is needed
is beyond question.
To learn what ruin follows in the
track Of a great lottery read the &C
counts Of the Panama Canal scandal
in France; note that the Hawaiian
revolution followed close after a lot

"A Field of Skulls.

II think the ghastliest sight I ever
saw" said Sheriff Barnes, twas dur
ing the late war on the field of NAL
vern Hill was in the battle, and a
more terrible battle l never witnessed.
But that is not the exact time to
which l refer. About year after
the battle was fought my regiment
was ordered out into the neighbor-
hood of the same old field. We went
over the very same ground, and there
in the open field, exposed to the tor
rid sun, were bleaching the bones OF
our comrades who fell in that awful
engagement, 1t was a sight shall
never forget On every side lay a
waste of skulls-slulls of almost
every shape and slze-a modern Col
gotha. We could not identify them,
however, and could only gaze with a
feeling of sorrow on the aggregate
pile Of human heads that had once
been full of life and feeling. After
the deeper emotions excited by the
spectacle had worn away, | thought
of the infinite variety of shapes that
were presented by the heap There
were no two of the same shape or
size, and it was rather a matter of
curious, though melancholy interest
to inspect the different skulls as they
lay crumbring in the sultry atmos-
phere of that August day, 1t was,
after all mournful sight, and one
that was full Of abiding pathos, TO
think that all that was left of the
gallant men that figured in the fight
of that eventful day was a lot Of
skulls that were now beyond recog-
milton, and that would soon be part
of the dust on which we were stand
ing. Such is picture of that awful
sight, and only one of the many hor-
rid scenes in the nOrtraiture of war. I"

STOCK AND FARM.

P. g. Noel, of Topeka, close OBJ
server, says Kansas wheat growers have
lost more money by too much rain after
harvest than by too little rain after
seeding.
Linn item: The largest acreage of
corn ever known in this part Of Wash
ington county is now being planted,
The wheat crop is short, but what is
lacking in that will be made NJ in corn.
Arkansas City Traveller: II water
melons are as successful this year as
they generally are, a train load will be
shipped out by the first of August.
Several farmers shipped car load each
last year.
Topeka Capital: Attorney General
Little, who took trip with the railroad
assessors to the west line of the state,
ST rs there will not be much wheat in
western Kansas. He was on the Union
Pacific, and says that for distance of
1872 miles, coming east from the Color
ado line, he did not see any wheat that
amounted to anything. The assessors
also made trip through the north
western part of the state and Mr.. Lit
tie says there has not been much wheat
planted in that section. He thinks,
from what he learned along the line that
it will be great corn year.
The demand, at the Kansas City,
Kan, stock yards, for stockers and
feeders picked up quickly on declin-
ing market. Fifteen cars were taken
for the country in one day, against sew
en- cars few days before. A number Of
orders are here for young cattle to go
on grass, but prices have been too high.
Even now farmers claim that too much
money is beng paid for feeding and
grazing cattle in comparison with the
butcher market. Choice stockers sold
as high as $415@4.20, and the best
feeders $465@4.75. These figures
suggest belief in a higher market in
the future.
Gypsum Advocate: One of our farm
ers purchased large tract of land near
this city about twelve years ago. He
sold one quarter of it a few days since
and realized nearly four times the
amount he paid for it. All the expense
he put on it was the enclosing of it by a
wire fence. The hay gathered from it
and the pasture it afforded paid the
taxes and the interest on the money in
vested. The land is new yet and three
average crops from it will pay the ex-
pense OF them and the price paid for
the land $4,000.

repair, to get away from the distract

worry Of housekeeping and pot boil
ing, the anxietles Of rent paying, the
Interruptions of so-called social
duties; place, in short, where a man
could put his mind to the biggest
thing that he knew how to do, or
wanted to do, where there would be
no hours to keep or obligations to
meet, and where the society would
be brainy and stimulating. 1 believe

with the fire is told by a member of
Engine 25. He was with a few men,
tiers of that company attempting to
save a screaming young lady who was
hanging from the third story of the
Ames building. At the risk of their
own lives they finally placed her
safely on the ground. Instead of rum
ming as fast as she could for her life
she carefully took hold of her skirts
and lifted them so as not to wet
them, and slowly picked her way
among the debris, and on the oppo-
site sidewalk, where she DISAPPEARED.

THE Savannah was the first steam
ship which ever crossed the ocean.
She was built in 1918 by Colonel
John Stevens, Of New York, and left
the port of New York in May, 1919,
under the command Of Captain Moses
Rogers, bound for st. Petersburg, via
Liverpool. She reached the latter
port on June 20, having used steam
eighteen days out of the twenty-six.
The log-book Of the Savannah, in
which Captain Rogers jotted down
the incidents Of the trip, is yet pre-
served by his descendants. The al
legged steam pioneers, Sirius and
Great Western, were built twenty
years later. The Savannah was lost
off the south coast of Long Island.

AN indianapolis man has eloped
with his mother-in-law. The deserted
wife tells a remarkable story Of the
carvings on of the departed couple.
She says they were most affectionate,
and made no bones of kissing each
other in her presence. 1t seems very
hard for the mother-in-law so to con-
duct herself as to become an unalloyed
blessing. The husband gets into
trouble at home for treating her
affectionately, and if he takes her to
his heart he is in danger Of overriding
the matter.

THE funeral as a social function is
something new, and is being gravely
discussed by women who do not seem
wholly brutal or totally devoid of
sense. The mooted question Is whether
one should attend the obsequies of a
person upon whom in life she had
not called or who had moved in a
different set. A woman who would
consider such problem should by all
odds attend a funeral without delay.
The suggestion that it be her own
seems almost superhuous.

NICKEL is now combined with steel
so as to produce the hardest and best
armor for war vessels. The discov-
cry of the combination, and es-
pecially this use of it with our new
American navy, makes the nickel ore
Of much more Importance than it
once was. Unfortunately nickel does
not seem to be produced in any con-
siderable quantity in the United
States. That used for the armor of
the war-ships now building in Phila-
delphia comes from Canada. An
English syndicate is reported to have
got possession Of the mines in South
ern Oregon. John Bull still looks out
for number one.
