he MISSED THE FACTS.
An Amusing Experience in the Career Of
Henry Guy Carleton.

An Amusing Experience in the Career Of
Henry Guy Carleton.
Some newspaper men were swap.
ping stories In the New York Press
Club and one Of them, who formerly.
dished up sensation for the Chicago
newspapers, introduced the name of
Henry Guy Carleton. Carleton has
since achieved some fame and money
as playwright, but he used to be a
reporter.
''As reporter" said the racon-
teur, Carleton wasn't much of a
success in those days He could out
shine most of the boys Oh a special,
but when it came to news and facts
Carleton was in the ruck. He was
working on the Tribune with Guy
Magee as the acting city editor.
There had been mysterious death
where foul play was strongly sus-
pected. The Chicago reporters were
hustlerS, but they were unable to I'M
ravel the mystery. A well-known
woman was involved. and the police
did all they could to hamper the work
Of the reporters. AS a consequence
the cOroner's inquest was looked for
ward TO with some anxiety, as likely
to bring out new facts. Carleton was
assigned to report the inquest for the
'Trib'
lit adjourned about o'clock in
the evening and Carleton went over
to the Press Club to write his four
columns He turned in the story at
about midnight and Immediately left
the office. Guy Magee read the copy
once, twice, and three times. No
where was there a suggestion as to
what verdict the jury had given.
Other reporters were sent out to hunt
up Carleton and bring him to the
office. He was found at the club,
and when brought to the office Guy
asked: What was the verdict in that
caSe?'
"'Verdict" exclaimed Carleton.
BLESSED if l know. l didn't wait
for that
1.-THE Office was silent until Guy
could rise to his full height of six
feet one. Then there was blue
streak Of Windy City objurgation.
The verdict had to be borrowed from
the Inter Ocean.

Crashing Swiss Hotel Men.

There are few things moro annoying
to travellers in Switzerland than the OBJ
structions and tolls imposed by grasp
ing landlords. 1t is gratifying, there
70 Q, to know that at the annual dinner
OF the Berne section OF the Swiss Alpine
Club, few days ago, electromagnetic
Won Steigeo complimented the club up-
on its success in liberating the beauties
Of nature in the Overland from the ex-
propriating landlord.
The Landlord" in Switzerland, it need
hardly be said, does not stand for the
landowner; who has there no power as
he has among us, of prohibiting access
to mountains" 1t means the great
speculative hotel keeper, the Gessler Of
the modern Swiss.
The government Of Berne, thanks to
the Alpine Club. has at last interfered
with the rights" OF several of these
private spectators. The "Wirth" who
erected little house in front of the
Handeck falls and demanded an indem-
MITIGATION, not only for meat and drink,
but for the favor of having the peep
door opened, has been ordered to open
the door gratuitously henceforward.
The impropriaor who set up Tyn-
dallite screen OF boards to intercept the
free view Of the Upper Reichenbach
Fall has also been commanded to take
down his shutters.
The concession granted to the owner
Of the Hotel Wetterhorn has also been
withdrawn, and the right of way to the
Upper Griodelwald glacier Is declared
TO be free for all tourists. The cnasSS
for entering the ice grotto, however. as
it is not work OF Nature, is allowed to
continue.-West minster Gazette.

LOudOn's Milk Supply.

In conversation with Prof. Wiley
of the Agricultural Department, 1
learned of pmethod by which the
people of Washington could obtain
pure milk.
1.-The milk supply of London" said
the professor, ''is the best in the
world, and has been so for years.
NEARLY all the milk is handled by
one company, the Aylesbury Dairy
Association.
'The company was formed some
years since by the milkmen them
selves, and the milk from each dairy
is tested every day by one of the best
chemists in the world, who is paid a.
large salary and devotes his entire
time to the work. II the milk does
not come up to certain standard it
Is returned to the dairy whence it
comes
1.-THE result of this 10 that only
good. pure milk can be offered for
sale, and it is the interest of every
mflkman to belong to the association.
Milk comes cheaper to HIM in this
way, and he can afford to sell it at
lower price and still make more
money than he could by doing an in
dependent business. ~ Washington

The Bible in London Schools.

There is an interes ing discussion on
just now in the London Scho Board
upon the instruction that shall be given
in religion and morals. One point has
been decided thus far. The religious
exercises are not to be limited to a
simple reading of the Bible, but the
teachers are to mako such explanation
and comment as they think necessary
without infringing upon any creed or
sect. In other words, the matter is left
almost entirely to the judgment Of the
individual teachers. The next point to
be met is whether the teacher shall
impress upon the pupils the moral dam
gers of wishing to be rich, or leading a
life OF luxury, of intemperanco, and Of
wickedness in it's various forms. Judg-
ing from the discussions which the mat
ter is arousing the members of the
board feel themselves in a kind Of
SebOrnian fog.

Columbus Relics at the Worlds Fair.

Chief among them is the collection
of documents owned by the Spanish
Government, including the autograph
of Columbus, the royal letters patent
from Ferdinand and Isabella to the
great discoverer when he sailed on
his first voyage, all autograph letter
from Queen Isabella, returning q
book which Columbus had loaned her,
and many letters written to his son
Diego in 1904.
A fac-simile of the cross erected by
Columbus after a fight with the In
dams on his second voyage is placed
in the nave OF the altar. On the
steps Of the altar are shown six
roughly hewn blocks of stone which
are all that remain of the first Christ
ian Church OF the Western Henri.
sphere; the site was on The north
shore of the land of San Domingo
overlooking Isabella Bay. The bell
OF this church, presented to COlum.
bus by King Ferdinand, will also be
exhibited together with the bell given
by Pope Alexander H. to the church
in Carthagena, Columbia, in 1916.
At the sides of the altar stand two
anchors used by the great navigator. i
One OF them was lost from the flag
ship Santa Maria at La Navidad, and
was raised by Indians from the
oceans bottom after living there for
three pears. One of the four cannon
OF the Santa Maria is in the collec.
tion. The main part of the altar is
to lie filled with the Vatican relics
loaned by Pope MIL consisting
mainly OF pictures illustrating the
career of Columbus.
The monastery itself will be used
as an art gallery, where will be found
nearly a thousand pictures, including
portraits of Ferdinand and Isabella, !
and of the Lief Erickson, Marco Polo, !
Americas Vespucci, and other dis
coverers. One room will be known
as the Columbus room, and will con-
tain seventy-four pictures of him by
as many artists. Finally there will
be miscellaneous collection of books,
documents, maps, etc, relating to
the discovery Of America.

ate use.
1t is not recorded what the editor
said.
Why They Fail.

Many pupils, as soon as their
fingers have acquired some little Ia
cility, are led astrav by the charms
OF novelty, and run into the error Of
attacking the most difficult compost
tions. Not few who can hardly
play the scales in a decent manner,
and who ought to practice for years
on easy studies and easy and appro-
pirate pieces, have the presumption
to attempt the concertos Of the most
brilliant fantasies.
The natural result Of this over.
haste Is that such players, by omit
ting the requisite preparatory stuGirs,
always continue imperfect. lose mach
time, and are at last unable to exc
cute either difficult or easy pieces in
a creditable manner This is the
cause why, although so many tai
ented young persons devote them
selves to the piano, we are still not
SO over and above rich in good play
ers, and why so many with superior
abilities and often with enormous in
dustry, still remain but mediocre and
indifferent performers.
Many other pupils run into the
error OF attempting to decide on the
merits of a composition before they
are able to play it properly. From
this 1t happens that many excellent
pieces appear contemplate to them,
while the fault lies in their playing
them in a stumbling, incorrect, and
unconnccted manner, often coming
n let fa1
dant harmonies, missing the time,
and making mistakes too many to
mention. Leisure Hours.

The Commissioner Case.

AS hereinbefore stated in this paper,
on the trial of the case of the State VS.
Pierce and Stranathan for unlawfulIy
and fraudulently allowing claims
against the county and issuing war
rants. The jury in their verdict found
the defendants guilty on each of the IL
counts OF the information. The de-
PENDANTS through their attorneys, filed
a motion for new trial, which was
taken up and argued ON Saturday last
in the district court room In the pres
ence of large and interested audience
of tax PAYERS. After the argument pro
and con the court in a logicaland forci-
bic manner reviewed the caSs and over
ruled the motion and requested Mr..
Pierce to stand up. When the court
asked Pierce if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him, Pierce made quite a speech
claiming as reason THAT he did not
know Ii, was doing anything wrong"
and had not Intended to commit a
crime" This question having been
passed on by the jury and the court not
accepting this as a reason sentenced
him To pay fine Of $50 on each of the
ii counts and pay the costs amounting
to S344 %, and be committed 10 the
county Jail until fine and costs were
paid. When Mr.. Stranathan was asked
If he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed OH him, said he
had nothing TO say. lie was therefore
sentenced To pay fine of $50 on each
of the first five counts of the informa-
ton and costs amounting TO S34425
and stand committed TO the county Jail
until paid.
The defendants have taken an appeal
to the supreme court. This means
some time, some delay and some more
costs, If it means anything else. 1t also
means more bonds and more liability
on those already given and We hear it
limited that it means another ugly suit
for the defendants and their official
bOndsmen TO face.

Thoughts on Woman Suffrage,

Just now you are hearing and saying
more about equal rights, or equal suff-
rage, as Kansas, ever progressive, is
soon to decide whether it would be
wise to grant you the privileges &C.
corded to men.
This decision depends largely upon
mans prejudice, largely upon custom of
ages. But much depends upon the
fact that some women are pTejudiced,
one sided. unacquainted with politics
and the great needs of the masses of
people. Of course that is, to a great
extent, untrue, yet there are classes of
women in just that state of ignorance.
Therefore it behoves you, Sisters of
Kansas, to work to prove the falseness
OF such views held by our voters. Think.
study, read upon the great issues of the
day. Seek for truth; see what questions
are right; what principles are just, then
endeavor to prove your points and
views by writing or even by public
meetings. Demonstrate that you are
tor principle, not party, and all will be
we'll.
There are many things, many wrongs
you hope to right, but remember there
are many scheming pol,titions and DO
litleal rings against whom you will be
as naughS, in conventions, etc. First
seek to defeat and break up such
schemers and rings, il you would have
influence for the truth.
So prepare and work well, if you
would succeed in the fight.

Decoration Day.

Decoration day was appropriately OBJ
served in this city yesterday. Up to
noon. business was almost entirely sus-
pended. The day was cool, which ad-
ded greatly to the enjoyment of the
people.
1t about 1920 o'clock the old veterans
formed in front of their hall on Main
street, and marched to the court house,
where Rev. Archer delivered very i'm
presSive and eloquent address to an au-
dience that filled the court room to
its uttermost capacity, while there was
good audience outside in the halls
The music furnished by the choir, con-
sisting of Miss Florence Williams, Miss
Clara Minick, Miss Daisy Moore, Mr.
J. III. Williams, Mr.. Chas. Hutchins,
with Miss Blanch Kercheval as organ
list, was excellent.
After the proceedings at the court
house, the procession formed and
marched to the cemetery, where the
rest of the ceremonies were carried out;
decorating the graves of the heroic
DEAD with MOWERS, by old comrades,
friends and relatives.
Such an occasion brings to the old
soldier, memories of many heroic and
patriotic deeds, and hardships endured
for the love of country and future gen.
eTations; while to us, the rising gener-
alton, 1t only brings to our minds, facts
as learned in history. hut at the Same
time, kindles in our hearts, renewed
love and respect for those brave men,
who endured such hardships and pri-
vatlons, that we might live in and en-
JOY free country, equaled by none
other on the face of the earth, and
causes fire Of patriotism to burn in
our bOSomS.
A few years more, and those old gray
hairs will be seen no more. They will
only stand as imperishable monuments
in history.
