o'clock this morning fire was discovered
in the big Keller Touring mill. in this

dust, occurred, and the immense structure
was blown to fragments.

Waterloo, was instantly killed. and sew

The explosion wrecked nearly every bust
ness house i'm the village. Many persons
we're badly hurt by flying bricks and fall
ing timbers The damage to the mill
alone will reach 81 600 000. and other prop
ertv is damaged over $4,000. The shock
ives felt i'm the adjoining villages Of Clyde,
Butler. Gillespie and Hillsboro. In many
of these places the conclusion was so
great that plate-glass windows were bro
ken.
When the fire started the citizens were
awakened by the ringing Of the fire bells
and before many Of them could dress they
were stunned by the shock Of the explo-
sion and the next moment found the
walls Of their homes falling upon them.
II is not known how the fire originated.

VS.. CONSERVA-
TISM.

Certain reform papers, which are
reform only in name, are ringing the
changes on conservatism, and advis-
ing the people to be patient, to be
mild, to not be aggressive, and a
great many more just as senseless
and pointless platitudes. Such re-
formers are not reformcrs, and they
stand in the way of real reform.
Conservatism has stood in the way
OF all advance movements, nor while
the sun shines will there be one tri-
umph working on that line. Con-
servatism disarms every one who
uses it. The enemy does not as
sault the positions of the reformers
with measures in the least conserva-

HELP ME. CASSIUS.

Hudson and his gang of cotem-

spectacle to honest men. With a
flourish of editorial trumpets he an
nounced to the world that the Pop
ulists Of Kansas had been corrupted
by the K Kansas City gamblers that
the gamblers had furnished money to
purchase favorable legislation. At
the same time, Joseph gave the wait
ing ones to understand that he, the
immaculate, was prepared a tale to
unfold that would cause the world to
stand awe stricken that there was
a wonderful mountain of corruption,
and that he sat upon the top thereof,
prepared to make a revelation. He
was summoned to appear and en-
tighten the world. He appeared,
and-what a tale Just to the de-
gree that the committee punctured
the wind-bag did he shrink and sink
His mountain commenced diminish
ing in proportions and sinking out
of sight, and by the time the com
mittee were through with him his
mountain had dissolved into vor-
tex, and he had sunken out Of sight;
and now he is crying out in agony:
"Help me, Cassius, or | sink"
If there is lower depth of infa-
my to which the Capital can sink,

tive. He is aggressive, and eter-
nally so, and stops not to use utterly
damnable measures to succeed. He
has his army Of paid tools every
where that an inroad can be- made in
to the grounds of the reformers, and
his claquers, under the guse of re-
form, will be crying ''Conserva-
tism - The cry can be heard in
stump speeches, in social conversa-
tion, curb. stone debates and else
where, and while these things are In
progress, the enemy is assaulting all
along the line, and in the end, we
wake up to find that conservatism
has lost us the battle, and aggres.
sion has given it to our enemy.
Be aggressive I! Strike with the
spirit to overcome all opposition.

THE WOMAN QUESTION.

In last weeks Union Signal ap
pears quite a lengthy editorial cor
respondeDce from Frances e. Will
lard, who is is yet in England. 1t
is very interesting letter, but we
will only give the closing paragraph:
And yet-and yet-some good
folk in America, and especially in
England, say that woman's ballot is
"side issue" They will yet learn
that it is the main line, and leads to
victory.
We believe Miss Willard has
struck the keynote. We believe
that the reforms for which we are
striving will never be fully realized
until woman has a hand in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of govern
ment. This is not only true in rela-
tion to moral questions, but financial
ard economic matters as well. We
of the "sterner sex" have made
great strides ahead in matters of re-
form, but we have scarcely begun
to realize our desires. We need
help, and we are obliged to call on
the gentler sex for assistance, which
they are ready and anxious to give
as soon as we break the shackles
that bind them.
No right-thinking person can re-
fuse to place woman on an equality
with man.
No reasonable person will deny
that woman's ballot is necessary to
correct existing evils.
No really good man, we believe,
will vote against the enfranchise-
nent of his wife, his mother and |
lis sister.
Let us all stand up for the better
lalf of humanity.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-03-30

A FEW days ago, the papers that
are opposed to woman suffrage were
saying, "Why, the women do not
want to vote. Don't you see they
are not registering ?" But, 10 and
behold ! the women arose in a body
and marched forth to register; and
now those papers are singing diff
ferent song. Yes, the women want
to vote, and, what is more, they
going to vote.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

All of the violators of the prohib-
itory law who were arrested at ft.
Scott few days ago were soon re-
leased although there is nothing in
the law to warrant such proceed
ure A travelling liquor man told a
citizen Of Garnett, a few days ago,
that the violators of the law were
liberated through the threats OF
Eugene Ware and other prominent
men of Ft. Scott against the assist
ant attorney general who caused the
arrest of the jointists.
Notwithstanding this failure to
punish the violators of law, the pro-
hlbitionists of that city are orgahiz-
ing law-and-order league, and are
preparing to wage a vigorous war
fare against the criminals.
And right here we want to say
something. 1t is this: The Gov
ernor and other state officials must
stand by the law and see that it is
enforced. They have sworn to do
so, and they must not violate their
oath of office.
No namby- -pamby
Work
Will do.
For at least four years, the capi-
tol has been cursed with a gang of
liars, perjurers, thieves, boodlers
and anarchists, and we, the people.
have put in their places what we
considered set of clean, honorable,
patriotic, loyal, law-abiding men,
and we don't t'want to be mistaken.
Indeed, those men cannot afford to
prove to the people of Kansas that
mistake was made in electing them
to the Offices which they now fill, !

So, We are to have an extra ses-
sion Of congress in Septenber-os-
tensibly to monkey with the tariff,
but really for the purpose of giving
silver black eye. If "straws" are
an indication, four more years of
Grover Cleveland will knock some
sense into the heads of wavcring
Democrats in the South and in the
Wests Those silver Democrats are
sure to learn that faith placed in the
present administration is misplaced

for, should the people make such a
mistake, the whole batch of state
officials might as well order their
political coffins. We are making no
charges nor threats, but simply
sounding a note of warning. The
people have thrown off the partisan
yoke. Principle is what they are
after. They will stand by principle,
but not by party that refuses to
stand by principle. A large major
ity of the people Of Kansas want
the prohibitory law enforced, and it
will not do to go contrary to their
wishes.
