They skinned the Bishop Alive.


Pope John XII, who succeeded Glenn
ent V in the chair of st. Peter, had only
reigned short time when he was taken
sick with mysterious malady. This
gave him the idea that sorcery was be-
ing resorted to TO bring about his death.
There was but one man he really thought
capable of supernatural dealing, and that
was the bishop of Chahors, the pope's
native place. After John had settled 1t
in his own mind that the bishop was the
whole cause of the trouble, he had him
brought before the college of cardinals.
That body of dignitaries deposed the
bishop from his holy Office and then
turned him over to the secular authori-
ties of Avignon, who tried and punished
him on the charge of being witch.
The day was set for the execution, and
an immense crowd gathered. First they
skinned the unfortunate bishop alive, re-
moving every shred of cuticle from his
writhing body except that around the
ears and eyes, which was burned away
with redhot irons Next he was laid
fat on the ground and horses hitched tc
each leg and arm. These were driven II
opposite directions, tearing the suffering
bleeding mass of humanity into foul
pieces, which were finally collected ant
burned.-St. Louis Republic.

The Cherokee Strip.

A press dispatch from Washington
quotes Secretary Smith as saying: "Be-
tween the 1st and the 10Th Of September
we will open the strip. 1 suppose we
will open it in the good old rough and
tumble way. I've attempted to devise
other ways which promised more peace
and general justice, which would give
the weak something like the chance pos
sessed by the strong, but each propo-
sition as far as we formulated it ran up
against the provisions of the general
homestead law, which controls in the
matter. No, 1 suppose the old d-fashioned
scheme Of every man for himself will
prevail"
Talking with Secretary Smith and
others in the interior department it
would seem that there is plan in con.
temptation of starting q line Of offices
along the Kansas and perhaps the Okla.
homs border Of the strip, and havil <
them open by August Is, or perhaps q
month before the strip itself is opened.
These Offices will be merely affidavit
offices, and here, before he goes upon
the strip at all, each would-be settler
must appear and make oath to his quail.

way into the building. A look into the
interior told a sickening tale Of how
some were taken and others left. Desks
were seen half topping over the brink
of the broken floor, others stood upright
but the chair which stood beside it and
its occupant went down with q crash.
Records and papers were scattered every
where, but as fast as possible they we're
gathered up and saved. Many OF them
were spotted with blood.
That any one should have escaped
with his life seems the work Of miracle.
AS the dead were brought forth they
presented q spectacle that no one seeing
it will ever forget. In many cases the
ssmblsnce to humanity was gone. It
seemed as though the helpers were carry
ing out mere bags of matter smeared all
over with blood, filthy with dirt, dirt
ground into them, blood on their faces.
A wife could not have recognized her
husband in that condition. With such
tenderness as rough and excited men
could summon at such time, they were
laid out upon the stretChers and carried
to the ambulRnces that filed the street
from E to F streets. All the doctors
could do for them was to clear away
some Of the dirt, plaster and filth from
the faces OF the injured men. In many
cases the dirt was ground into eyes,
noses and mouths 30 that withl ut such
attention men might have suffocated.
Many were unconscious, and could not
have helped themselves. With a Clsng
Of the bell the Rmbulsnoes started of
for their hospitals, These were soon
overcrowded. Drug stores were turned
into temporary hospitals. People in the
neighbornood of the accident opened
their doors right gladly, and the dead
and the wounded were hurried in.
When the accident was over, and be-
fore the rescuers could get inside tc
their relief, there were injured men who
were caring for their worse injured
brothers. There were mon who did moi
rush for the street to save their owr
lives. Regardless Of the fact that more
walls might fall and bury them once
more, they staid to succor men who
could not get away by themselves. A
man whose arm was crushed used hiE
other arm to drag man from that place
of death. Men staid to struggle with
beams and rafters that bore down upon
their fellows. They spoke words Of cheer
when their struggles were in vain.
At last accounts the number Of killed
is reported at twenty-four and the
wounded over 100. Many Of these are
beyond hope Of recovery.

Voting Booths and Australian BaIIot Law,

Voting Booths and Australian Ballot Law,
Sent to look up a manufacturer Of
ballot boxes, the ADVOCATE man was
directed TO the Hamilton Printing Co., OF
Topeka, also stats printers. He found
Mr.. Hamilton full Of information and
willing to exhibit the booths. "Yes,"
replied Mr.. Hamilton to an inquiry, "they
are selling rapidly. Every voting pre-
Cinct in the state must have one or more
booths, And the township trustress are
now sending us their orders daily. We
can I'LL sll orders il they are sent early
enough, but it requires time to get the
booths made and delivered whore they
are to be used. Kansas City, Kansas,
after q careful examination of several
other booths, ordered $50 from us. We
are now getting out those needed in
Marshall county, and Marysville. In fact
we are sending them everywhere, and
wherever coming in competition with
other booths, ours have been selected.
"Just say to ADVOCATE readers and the
township and county officials that we
are prepared to furnish booths and bal
lot boxes and such stationery supplies
as are required under the new election
law, and that our stationery supplies
have all been prepared under the d.
rection 0f the attorney general, and have
been approved by him and by the score
tary OF state, so that they can be relied
on as being absolutely correct.
ave have for some time been trying to
devise plan by which the booths can
be supplied satisfactorily to the pur-
chaser and to us. It Is the opinion Of
the attorney general that each city and
township must buy its own booths, and
there are 30 many Of them that it win be
impossible to visit each one separately,
and show samples and quote prices.
There will be all kinds Of booths offered
for sale, at all sorts Of prices, and it
would be folly to expect each township
and city to make an order without know
ing something about what they were to
get. Also, should we, or any other
house, sell any considerable number OF
these booths, it will take 60 days to
make and deliver them; 90 that iS is
important that orders come In at an
early date
1--WE have thought that perhaps the
township trustees Of each township in
the county might get together, and pro-
vide the money for buying these goods
and deposit it in some bank at the county
seat, and designate one Of their number
or some county officer to buy for all the
townships in the county. In this way
you would get competition and secure the
lowest cash price, and the purchaser
would know what he is going to get.
We will gladly send an agent to each
county seat, with samples and prices to
select from, il this plan is adopted.
"The point we want to make is, that
epery V0ter is interested in seeing that
his township gets the best goods it can
for the money, and that it is TO each
voters interest to see that there is some
plan arranged as soon as possible to do
this business.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Awful Disaster in Washington by

dent Lincoln received his death wound
at the hand OF an assassin, was the scene
of a most fatal disaster on Friday, June
.. The Ford theatre building, occupied
by the medical and pension department
of the surgeon generals office, collapsed
and fell without moments warning to
the hundreds of government employees
who we're working therein.
The building stood on Tenth street,
northwest, between E and F streets
and not far from Pennsylvania svenus,
It had been condemned three times,
the first years ago, some claim as many
as fifteen or twenty, but had been re-
paired, propped up and renovated from
year to year. When 1t was condemned
by Col Rogers, of the war department,
in 1880, the government promptly moved
out its medical museum, there stored and
exhibited, but the caution then dis
played extended only to the exhibits,
and the building had since been kept
crowded with clerks despite successive
cOndemnations.
There were Ats persons, mostly gov
ernment clerks employed in the building,
and nearly all of these we're at work
when the building fell.
An excavation for an electric light
plant was being made in the cellar Of
the structure-R three-story affair
and, according to the best information
obtainsble, the workmen this morning
had dug beneath the foundation sup
ports in the front of the building, weak
ening them to such an extent that the
walls gave way before they could be
lacked. This explanation Of the cause
OF the accident is the only one advanced,
but it seems somewhat strange in view
Of the fact that the top floor gave way
first.
Men who were in the building say the
crash came without warning. Those on
the top floor were suddenly precipitated
to the floor below and the weight of fall
ing timber and furniture carried the
second and first floors down.
Fortunately only the forward half Of
the floors gave way. The outer ends Of
the floors and the rear part Of the struc:
tuPe remained intact and the walls did
not fall.
Within an hour the news was kDown
all over Washington, and hundreds Of
anxious relatives and friends swarmed
to the vicinity Of the old theater. A gen.
ersl fire alarm was turned in a few min
utes after the crash and then all the
smbulances in the city were summoned,
In less than an hour about twenty five
people had been taken out, and every
few minutes thereafter some still form
would be borne on a stretcher from the
building.
Both military and naval authorities
took prompt action. General Schofeld
ordered two troops of cavalry from Fort
Meyer just across the river, and two
companies Of infantry from the arsenal
to the scene Of the disaster. The secre-
tsry of the navy ordered out all the naval
medical officers and also opened the
naval hospital to receive the injured.
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
The unfortunate occupants Of the
building were all men. All during the
long hours while the workmen were
