pants and we'll calculated to bring
dlscredit upon the state. Kansas
people are not fools, lunatics or revo-
lutlonists. They may be temporarily
misled, but they will Lever follow the
lead Of partisan lunatlcs at the state
capital. The talk about revolution"
is the merest buncombe. The tele-
grams and letters about midnight
plots and dark-lantern schemes we're
written for effect. They were sen
sations" manufactured to order. The
stranger reading the average load of
partisan slush sent out daily from To-
peka would naturally conclude that
the present state officers are cut
throats and robbers and that the in
coming administration is made up of
thieves and other Williams of high and
low degree.
Such statements are not only fall
In every particular, but they are vic
iously malignant and uttered without
any real excuse. The only real re-
suit is to iniure the state. Why not
tell the truth? There is a struggle
for supremacy in the lower house.
Such state of affairs often happens
in American states, and there is no
reason why it should be ADVERTISED to
the world that Kansas is upon the
eve of revolution. The sober, second
thought of the people will govern.
The political wire-pullers do not own
or control the people of Kansas. The
men duly elected will be seated.
There will be no conflict of arms; no
force; no bloodshed and no revolu
ton. The law and constitution will
govern. No seats will be stolen; no
voters will be dlsfranchised. The
vote Of the people will be obeyed.
The filing of the contest papers
may give vent to surplus wind, but
will not bring up cyclone. The pa
pers have been laden for the past
three weeks with vile and slanderous
storms sent out from Topeka; tales
of blood and plots most foul, worthy
of Cuban romance. There has been
too much of it. There ought not to
have been any of it. Think of a

Tell the Truth.

Every thoughtful citizen OF Kan
sas, and every well wisher of the state
has been more or less disturbed by
the hot-headed talk INDUCED in at
Topeka by people who, apparently,
make politics business. One would
suppose from reading the kilograms
and correspondence sent out from
Topeka that it was the capital of
some South American or Mexican re-
public One day it is reported tina I
terrible scheme has been unearthed
by which one party is to steal the leg
islature bodily. The next day comes
the story that the opposing party de-
vised a plan to take forcible. posses
sion of the state and that its leaders
declare that blood will flow knee deep
IN the streets before they will allow
their opponents to organize the lower
branch of the Legislature. To read
such dispatches a stranger might
rightfully conclude that the state was
upon the verge of a revolution.
The craze has gone so far that the
man who does not fall into line with
political lunacy of the hour is de-
nounced as an migrate, a trimmer and
a traitor to his party, The whole
thing is disgraceful to the particl-

newspaper coming out some morning
with the " details Of a vile plot" to
steal the legislature and calling on
all the press of its party to take its
word for it and rouse the voters to
sense of their danger. Think of that
paper strutting in borrowed plumage
and saying See how we saved the
state" 1t will be an interesting spec
tacle to look at in the future. Ere
form is never so useless as when it
attempts to use force Reason is be-
ginning to resume It's sway, The
Legislature will be organized peace
fully and then it will be in order to
tell the naturalization Champion.

The annual report of the state
board of railroad commissioners will
be given to the governor in few
days. 1t will show that with the ex-
ception of two small branches Of the
Union Pacific, every dlstinctively
Kansas road shows deficit. The
roads which paid dividends are the
Burlington, Al per cent; the Rock Is
land, 8 per cent; the Memphis, s per
cent ION preferred stock; the Mis-
souri, Pacific, 4 per cent The latter
paid its dividends out of its surplus.
There are in operation in the state
8,874,73 miles of road and 11.49 not
operated. The only recommendation
of Importance in the report will be
the following: ut should be pro-
vided by law that the order of the
railroad commissioners shall be the
the governing law Of the railroad
companies, to be obeyed and respect
ed by them until vacated by q COM
petent judicial tribunal on appeal
To allow suspension of the order Of
the commissioners pending appeal by
the companies is to make farce of
the whole commissioner system"
This recommendation grows out of
the recent injunction granted by
Judge Eaton of Atchison county in
the Syms Grocer Company's case.

did as follows


Searching parties have been out since
Saturday night, trying to secure some trace
of the whereabouts OF Lawyer Herbert w.
Edmunds, who has mYsterously disap-
peared from home. Although the search
has been most diligent and systematic.
hardly anything has been learned of Mr..
Edmunds' movements during the last "a
hours, and his family and friends enter
tain grave fears for his safety.
The missing lawyer was formerly Solici-
tor of the borough of Cape May Point, and
as a result of the legal tangle in the affairs
of that place. was placed in the custody of
Sheriff Nichols for contempt of Court, for
failing to pay over some taxes held by
him. His health since his release has
been very poor, and he was subject to
periods of mental excitement. Saturday
about l O'Clock he became disturbed over
his failure to receive some money due him
for legal services, and without saying any
thing to his wife of his purpose, left the
house, and so far has failed to return. The
last seen of Mr. Edmunds was in the after
noon, when Samuel Baily, who has a
blacksmith shop just over Cape Island
bridge, saw the lawyer walking briskly
toward West Cape May. His brother,
Perry Edmunds. and sympathizing friends
are still prosecuting the search, but they
have slight hopes of finding him alive.

against the present law and action was

ried on Wednesday evening. John Nay
lor was best man; Miss Ella Rigg maid of

flower girls. Rev. E. B. Hodge read the

Edward Mcdonald, who for many years
has been connected with Minors lime
kiln, died suddenly at his home on East
Pearl street, Thursday. Mcdonald ate
hearty dinner and seemed as we'll as usual
and in short time was dead. Apoplexy
was undoubtedly the cause of his death.
The deceased was GA years of age.
Three imported stained glass windows
have recently been placed in ST. Mary's
church and are the first of a series which
is to fill the whole church. They are in
memory of the Rev. John Talbot, the first
rector, Rev. DIR. Morton, another of the
old rectors, and Franklin Woolman, who
for 20 years was treasurer of the parish.
St. Mary's Hall sent its pupils home on
Tuesday for their Christmas holidays,
after a most beautiful carol service in the
chapel. The Boys school, known as Bur
lington College. began its vacation on the
same day. The pupils sang thelr"Dulce
Domum" with a hearty good will. and
turned from school life to home with few
regrets. Both schools open again on

Thomas Austin, of Jobstown, drove to
Burlington Wednesday afternoon to at
tend the Tyler Rigg wedding and put his
beast up at Atkinson's hotel. When he
went to start home his horse had an at
tack of collie and he was compelled to re-
turn and call in the services of Veteri-
nary Bunting. All night was put in with
the horse and the animal will recover,
though the case was one of the worst
the doctor has had.
Mrs. Harry Cook died at her residence
on York street, on Tuesday. She had
been Ill for some time with stomach
troubles, and her case has puzzled the
physicians that were called in the case.
She was unable to retain any nourish-
ment whatever. Mrs. Cook was the only
daughter of the late Christopher and Eliz-
abeth Rigg, and sister to both George
and Edward Rigg, of this city. Before
her death Mrs. Cook requested that a
post norton examination of her body be
made. The autopsy was made on Tues
day afternoon about $50 o'clock, and in
stead of disclosing latent or malignant
disease, as many thought, it was found
that hillary calculi was the primary cause
of the trouble. The weight of the gall stones
had pressed against the substance of the
liver and caused an abscess about the size
of an egg. Otherwise her organic con-
struction was perfectly healthy.

Every man pleaded not guilty.
The Jurors in the Potts Hutchinson
case complained that the door near them

Garrison had the interior of the bar

Kimball is a new edition to the home

quite popular.
A violin solo, 'tGipsy Dance" was then
given by Miss Mary Folwell, who always
pleases those fond of instrumental music
and there was some disappointment that
the rules of the evening precluded an en-
core. "Time and Tide" was sung by Rev.
S. Harper Leeper, whose tenor voice has
won him much praise as vocalist. Miss

credit. The performance was thoroughly

to enter the house, although not invited.
Gardner objected and was assaulted by
Cramer. Gardner went before Justice
Trotter and had his assailant arrested.
The next day Cramer went before Trot-

and his wife, charging them with keeping
disorderly house, the pound party being
the basis of the disorder. The accused
were held for their appearance at Court.
The Grand Jury declined to Indict them.
Then Cramer had another warrant

Death Reveals Marriage.
The New York papers of Tuesday col

The New York papers of Tuesday con-
tanned the following announcements;
PATTEN-HARRoD-At Trenton, N. j., April
g. 1898, by the Rev. Mr. Harlowe, Edith Mary
Harrod. of Burlington, N j., to James Nor
rill Patten, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
PATTEN.-At II Clifton place, Brooklyn. n.
Y, on sunday, Path inst, James Merrill Pat
ten, aged q years.
Funeral private.
The first of these announcements was
complete surprise to the relatives and
intimate friends of Miss Harrod. The
young lady is sister of Rev. Mr.. Har-
rod, rector of St. Barnabas Church, Bur-
lington, and she lived with her brother
and mother in that city.
Young Patten has relatives in Burling-
ton and it was during one of his visits
there that he became acquainted with
Miss Harrod. They became engaged, and
the young man was perfectly acceptable
to the young lady's relatives, which lends
an air of mystery to the secrecy of the
wedding.
The minister who married them says
that Patten was in i'll health when the
ceremony took place, with something like
rheumatism, caused by his labors as a
civil engineer, in mines. A brother of the
groom is reported to have said: my
brother died from natural causes. The
publication at the same time of notices of
his marriage and death nearly nine
months after the marriage does not seem
to me to be particularly strange. The
marriage was not announced when it took
place for reasons that were satisfactory to
all concerned. Those reasons are private.
My brother and his wife have not lived
together since they were married"
