A Manhattan, Kansas, bank made an
offer to the national treasury of S15,O
in gold to help out the depleted reserve,
and the Abilene Reflector calls the
action grandstand play. So it might
have been, but it was certainly more
commendable than any action or nom
action that might be calculated to
further embarrass the treasury. We
are all equally interested in the credit of
the government. The west does not
want any more bonds issued by the gov
eminent for any purpose, if it can be
avoided without detriment to the coun-
try, and the offer of gold in exchange
for paper is an act in proof of the faith
1t is worthy of note that almost all of
such offers have gone from the west.

A reporter for local paper attended a
meeting of suffrage women in Newton,
Monday, to take some notes for publca-
ton. His presence was displeasing 10 the
women and they threw out the hint SO
strong that il he didn't get out at once
they would rally as one woman and put
him out. The intruder went, aud didn't
stand on the order.
The ''peace conference" of Topeka
women at their recent meeting in that
place proclaimed that the emoralizing
example furnished to their children by the
actions of the legislators demands coun-
ter influence. 1t is said that even the boys
at Topeka got out into the barn and es-
a mock house of representatives.
They enact the stormy scenes of the Popu-
list house as they understand them, and
bruise each others faces. tear each others
clothes, and smash the doors of the barn.
The Topeka ladies say that no circus has
ever visited :rhe town which has been so
generally initiated by the boys as the last
Kansas legislature.

Sad Fate of One of the Worlds Creates
Inventive Geniuses.
There lived in Normandy, where he
was born, in 1915, a man named Solo
mon Caus. He was an engineer and
architect, and had held several impor
tant positions He wrote great many
scientific works and papers, of which,
however, no one took much notice dur
ing his life, and finally was seized with
an idea which made his friends ano
relatives fear that he was mad. After
Fostering the king and the cardinal al
Paris, he was ordered to be taken to
Bicetre-the mad house-and there shu,
up This was done. They had just one
way with mad people in those days
They shut them in iron cages and fed
them through the bars like wild beasts
They did this to Solomon Caus For a
long time he stood behind those bars
all day and called to those who would
listen, and to them repeated the story
he had told the cardinal He became
the jest of the place. Some of them
even gave him writing materials, and
then, amid the misery of his surround
ings, he wrote down his ideas and
amused his jailers SO much the more
However, it could not be long before
such a life, such surroundings, would
shatter any brain. In time Solomon
Caus was as mad rs everyone believed
him.

On solitude white faced as death.
The winged winds are folded under,
A spectral vapor's heavy breath.
Elusory the shapes and shadows.

From wooded field and sloping meadow,
CLEAN in the fog enshrouded light.
Light that is thick with wierd. tender.
Uncertain wraiths of midnight mist,
Whose luminous ensilvered splendor,
Nelts into faintest amethyst.
The trees lift white fingers appealing,
Unto the pallid sky above,
That glooms like some gray ghost uufeeling
And chill as kindness that hath no love.
And two whose faces -heholden,
Are paler than the SHOWS own white,
Walk silent, phantom like enfolden,
liz vague diaphanous twilight.
The words they spake unshapen. soundless.
To each by occult power crossed.
Thought answered thought and in the bound.

THAT NON-PARTISAN RACKET.
Can it be possible that any level-head-
ed Republican will permit himself to be
misied by the "non-partisan" hypocrisy
of the Demo-Pop fusion managers IN this
city? A careful inquiry shows that every
Populist,in the town is for Ben Aldrich
for MAYOR as is every Democrat who
supported Lewelling and Jerry Simpson,
.xcent a few staunch fellows who as
business men appreciate how much Kan
sas is being injured by the Calling gun
performances of last winter. Every
tool of Lewellng and of his Pop-Fusion IS
at work making solid their own side
and trying to pull the wool over
the ewes of Republicans by the
whine of sob, Ben is good fellow. be-
sides we don't want any partisan ad-
miaisration." Ben Aldrich is incorrIg-
ible in his partisanship and always was.
II would be hardly possible to name 4
stronger or more partizan ticket than
that ticket which he heads. Lewelling
has the police force of this city now,
and if in addition by the aid of his city
marshal, his police commission, his
state coal oil inspector and his right
hand man. A[ollie Lease, he can elect
the Demo-Pop ticket, we will have
non-partisan city government with
vengance. Ben Aldrich, Rufe Cone and
George Dixon are beautiful speci-
mems of non partisans. The election OF
that ticket, while it would be saying to
the world that Wichita endorses the
patling gun and revolutionary policy of
Lewelling, would not leave the Republi-
can majority single voice in the con-
troll of the affairs of their city. For bare
faced political impudence this "non-
partisan" trick was never equaled.
No, tits partisan fight and one of
fhe most serious character. Individual
claims are as nothing compared to the
principles and interests at stake. The
man who says that the election of the
Deno-Pop ticket, headed by the Pop
Fusionist, Ben AIdrich, wouldn't be an
endorsement of Lewelling and all that
his party of Anarchists attempted at
Topeka this last winter is either
q political fool or political liar. The
election of that Demo-Pop ticket would
not only|be heralded all over the state
by the Pc ulist organs as an acquieSence
to Lewelling and his methods, but it
would 60 into the Associated Press dis
patches of the world that dwellings

tempted revolution of last winter at

and effected unfavorably the value of
every security in the state and the price

THE RING OF CHEOPS.
A Relic of the Builder OF the Pyrarni
Which Bears His Name.

A Relic of the Builder Of the Pyramid
Which Bears His Name.
The most curious and remarkab Die
relic OF antiquity in the world, the Holy
Coat and the Iron Crown not excepted,
now lies among the treasures of the
Abbott collection, which is temporarily
deposited in the museum of the New
York historical society. This unique
memento of the distant past is nothing
less than the signet ring once worn by
Cheops, the builder of the largest of the
great Egyptian pyramids.
The finding of this ring was the
browning effort of the great DIR. Alb
bolts life of research among the musty
tombs of the cradle of the human race
AS noted above, Cheops was the build
er of the pyramid which bears his name.
and. as though it were his intention to
make the structure bear witness TO his
greatness down through all the ages,
the very stones and bricks of which 1t
is composed are stamped with his name.
Cheops lived nearly twenty-five hun
dred years ago, his pyramid being
relic of the days when the great ma
tions of antiquity were in their youth,
yet we, of the last decade of the nine
teenth century, can have the supreme
satisfaction of gazing upon the very
ring he wore so proudly -pon his royal
finger.
The hieroglyphics are very minute
yet very accurately and beautifully ex-
ecuted, the ring, itself being of finest
gold and weighing nearly an ounce.
The oval signet bears the name Cheops,
which is in hieroglyphics in perfect ac
cord with the stamps on the bricks of
the inside walls of the great pyramid
This remarka BILE relic was found in a
tomb at Ghizeh. -Philadelphia Press
