The Topeka Capital
Takes Advantage
of Our COnfd-

Attorney!
oASTARDLY DEED OF A SNEAK.
ING REPORTER.

County Attorney Mitchell went down
to Topeka on Wednesday of last week
and returned Sunday. During bis alb
sence the following appeared in the To-
peka Capital:
County Attorney Mitchell Of Ford
county is IN the city for few days. In
conversation with a Capital reporter
yesterday he said it was impossible to
enforce the prohibitory law In Dodge
City. when was first elected" said
Mr.. Mitchell, 81 opened up on the joints
and pulled them every one. The result
was my stairway was kept hot by men
who came to see me, and they told me
that would not be supported in these
prosecutions. The county was heavily
in debt, and the revenue of $50 month
kept the lights in the streets and sup
piled the city with water. These men
said they had made thorough canvass
of the city, aud they found the men who
favored the license system were nine to
one over the prOhibitionists. L never
touch liquor myself, and would like to
see the law enforced, but in the face OF
such opposition my hands are tied. The
result is that the three joints and two
gambling houses are run openly and are
fined each $50 regularly every month
Last Monday morning we called on
the county attorney and read the inter-
view to him. He said this was the first
time he had seen the article alluded to.
and had not even the Iemotest suspicion
that he had been interviewed until after
his return from Topeka. Though re-
GREETING the interview, he would not
Ii: out of it like Mrs. Lease did hers.
MIR. Mitchell most solemnly as
sured us that he never dreamed of being
interviewed, and says the thing hap
pened in the police court room where
few lawyers, court officials and some
emissaries from Canada were talking
over the effects of the prohibition law.
The Canadian gentlemen were trying
to get the real facts of how the law
worked in Kansas, and it was to them.
in the innocency of his confiding nature,
that our fervid hued friend unbosomed
himself. There were people passing in
and out at the time, and he has no doubt
that the Capital reporter was among
the number and unfolded his ample ears
and imbibed what was said. He is in
clined to this conclusion because he
met an agreeable young man who rep
resented himself as Capital reporter
but says he did not make any statements
to him personally.
The county attorney very courteOusly
gave the GLoBE.REPUBLlCAN scribe
such authority as he had on which be
based the various statements made by
himself and published in the Capital,
including the name Of the prominent
citizen who assured him that careful
canvass of the city had been made, with
the result that the men who were in ia
vor of the license system were found to
be nine to one of the prohibitionists.
We do not feel at liberty to publish
the name of said citizen, but in view OF
this statement having gone abroad to
the outside world, will suggest that ii
would be a good idea to test the matter
at the earliest convenience, by vote Of
the people, just to see what proportion
of oar voters In Dodge City are in favor
of enforcing the law.

An InOfHensive Ghost.

The mystery of the "whistling
tree" of Pittsburgh has been unsealed.
but only by the sacrifice Of the tree.
For years a peculiar murmuring had
been heard in the trunk of a large
maple at what is called the East End.
and the noise troubled superstirious
people, who made the rumor current
that murder had been committed
there. Recently Lawyer Maxwell.
the owner OF the tree, cut it down.
When his AK had reached to deptb

and continued running. The rings
on the tree showed its age to be over
100 years 1t stood on sloping ground
near the bank of swift stream.
There were several decayed, hollow
streaks in the body of the tree. The
water had worked through the roots.

other. thus constituting a steady flow
IL was this water that caused the
noise, and the small.

AN example should be made O.,
some OF the sharks who are conduct
ing swindling employment agencies
and other bunko games designed to
fleece the unemployed in cities. Dur
ing the present depression of business
more than the average number OF
persons are out of work, and they are
correspondingly anxious to secure
employment. 1t is upon this class
that the bogus employment agent,
the bogus portrait enlarger, and the
individual who wishes to hire clerk
"who has some capital" exercise their
wiles. OF all swindlers, the Sc people
are the basest. They take from the
idle mechanic, the unemployed clerk
and the impoverished typewriter
their last dollar, without the inten.
tion or the ability to render any re-
turn. The sandbagger or the high
wayman is a prince compared with
these creatures, who prey upon those
least able to sustain the loss. The
police should take summary action
in regard to these swindlers, and the
men who conduct them should be
started on the road to prison with.
out any delay.

Popular Songs.

One of the strongest productions
arising from modern conditions is the
popular song. Somebody, in a the
alter or concert-hall, nowadays will
sing a song that catches" and the
first thing we know it is on the lips
OF thousands of people and is heard
from one end of the nation to the
other. In the last few years this
musical phenomenon has grown more
and more marked and more and more
remarkable. The singular part of it
all is the fact that, almost without
exception. these songs wholly lack
merit OF either melody or sentiment.
Once in while, as in the case of
"Annie Rooney" the music will be
good, but usually it is simply catchy
jingle with no worth or real beauty
at all. Think of the air of "Mc-
Ginty." Think of this ballad of
''After the Ball" Any man who
would hum the wretched and silly
words Of the thing would naturally
strike the arrangement OF notes by
the writing OF which Mr.. Harrison
has gained a popularity such as no
great poet every knew in the history
OF the world. 1t is an inexplicabIe
phenomenon. If the song touched
any chord of genuine emotion. or
awoke any response Of tender feeling.
we could understand the miracle.
But, 1t is not so. The author catches
the flag end OF some trivial common
place phase Of feeling, aud then raves
over 1t in bad meter and common.
place words, and the nation fairly
howls with delight There must be
good deal of truth in the old Theory
OF the French cynic that the masses
love the commonplace because the ex-
cellent is an insult to their intelIi-
gence. -MinneapOlis Commercial

EPIDEMICs travel westward. Epi-
denies nearly always arise in the
East, where defective sanitary ar.
rangements, over-crowding, and heat
greatly favor the development Of the
germs. There is more trade between
the East and the West than there is
between the East and places still
further East. Hence the chances
are that the infection will be carried
westward. II we mark on map of
Europe the principal high roads Of
commerce and the direction in which
some notable epidemics have travelled,
it will be seen that the coincidence
between the routes is more than &C.
cidental. This also explains how an
epidemic can travel against the pre-

Artemus Wards Famous Joke.

Artemus had a favorite trick that
he loved to indulge in, and out of
which he appeared to get good deal
OF conRenial fun. This was the d =.
bursting Of rigmarole of nonsense in
q solemn and impressive manner, as
though he was saying something of
unusual weight and Importance. 1t
was game of mystifcation in which
ne greatly delighted. At dinner
given him by leading Comstockers at
the international Hotel, Ward played
this trick on Mark Twain, all present
being let into the secret beforehand.
He began an absurd exposition of the
word genius, upon the conclusion of
which the embarrassed Mark was
obliged to acknowledge his inability
to comprehend the speaker.

Tor half a minute he gazed at Mark
