ANOTHER MANS VICTIM.
A Miserable, Sick Creature Shipped About
From Place to Place

A Miserable, Sick Creature Shipped About
From Place to Place
The sad case of Mary Hedrick is bout
to be repeated in Topeka.
Pearl Howard. "A seventeen-year-o
girl, who says Clinton, Mo, is her home,
is lying at the city Jail sick and nobody
can be found TO take care Of her. She
was shipped" here from Kansas City
last night and managed to get TO the
police station, where she was given bed
for the night
There is no doubt that the girl is In a
very bad state. She has been suffering
for more than three months with name
less disease and because Of her poverty
has been unable to get medical assist
auce. Her widowed mother lives at
Clinton and Pearl was working in "A hotel
at that place when she Was led astrny.
She has never been very bad girl II ap-
pears, and her wrong doing is Of com
paratively recent origin.
A week or ago the authorities at
Clinton sent her to Kansas City where she
hoped to get into some hospital for treat
ment. but every one TO whom she applied
refused her edmittance aud she finally
applied tothe authorities. Without help
ing her in the least they took the usual
humane course in such matters and sent
her on to Topeka last night
The police gave her temporary shelter
here and say that the city physician and
the county authorities have been notified
take the responsibility of caring for her
Poor Commissioner Hale provided "A
pass for her return to Kansas City today.
and it WAS intended TO send her
back there today, but Mrs. Thorpe,
the matron, has charge Of the case
now ana will endcavor to have the girl
held here until she can receive proper
treatment and is better. In the opinion
Of the police the girl will die in very
few weeks If she is not taken care Of,
and she might be cured in short time
if properly treated. The girl is thorough
" punished for her waywardness and
takes her trouble very much to heart.
She cries a good deal and declares
over and over again to the matron that
if somebody will help her out Of her
present difficulty she will never do
wrong thing again. She is not a well
educated girl but she uses good Ian
guage is polite aud seems to have been
fairly well brought up

FUNSTON oUsTED AT LAST.

The long-pending Moore-Funston
case was at last settled on Wednesday
and settled as everybody supposed it
would be by ousting Funston and
seating Moore. The verdict was a
purely partisan one, of course, and
had no relation to the merits of the
case. We suppose there are
not a dozen men in the
United States who really believe
that Moore was elected. In bringing
the contest Moore relied solely on the
100 Democratic majority in the House
and not at all on the justice of his
cause. His reliance was we'll founded
as only 8 Democrats were brave
enough to vote for justice against
their party. Col. Moore will now get
$4,000 in salary which belongs to an
other man, and the Second District
will be misrepresented by a man
whom it never elected. Mr.. Funston
has made valiant fight. and he will
suffer in no mans good opinion be-
cause he has been made the victim of
partisan rancor and unfairness.

pened to our crowd the first day ex-
cept when we met Mr.. w.
]. Pickell, about eight miles east
of lola. We were all as glad to see
him as if we had been away from
home for years. AT least we thought
so then, but now we would give our
best gun to see even a yellow dog that
lives in lola. The first night out we
camped on the farm of r. e. Gillian
on branch of the Marmaton river, a
very beautiful spot and Mr.. Gillian
furnished US hay for our horses and
milk for our coffee and was very good
to us in many other respects. We
got an early start next morning and
drove to Fit. Scott with only a short
stop at noon to feed our horses. On
the road we met a herd of friendly
cows that kindly furnished us with
milk fer our supper. During our stop
at noon Willis Henderson and the
writer took their rifles and went for a
hunt but did not succeed in getting
any game with the exception of a
small bird or two and a snake eight
feet long and as large around as a
mans wrist. We reached Fit. Scott
along in the evening and camped Just
north OF town by the roadside. We
named the place Camp Desolationu,
as it was all that the name could sug-
gest. We left Camp Desolationn at
$40 Wednesday morning and travel
ed three miles before we got break
fast. About lilo Wednesday morn-
ing We crossed the line into Missouri.
The first thing we saw after crossing
the line was sign that read as fol-
lows: Native wine for Sale here"
then we knew we were in Missouri.
We camped at night ON place known
as Hawkins slough, SO called because
a man of that name had been drown
ed there. Thursday We were on the
road early and drove through Nevada
only stopping few minutes to pur-
chase some supplies. Nevada is a
pretty little place and apparently
quite lively. We camped Thursday
afternoon about . o'clock TO feed our
horses and get dinner, on a branch of
the Usage river about 10 miles west of
Eldorado near Vevay postoffice. This
stream of water is very clear and has
dense woods on either side. We got
our dinner, went in swimming,-took
the horses in too and started about
O'Clock for Eldorado Springs, which
place We reached about $50 in the
evening. We went in camp in the
northern part Of the town on the bank
of a creek.
The country all around our route
from lola to Nevada is exceedingly
beautiful with its thousands of acres
of the best corn the country has had
for years, and wheat, flax and oats,
and other small grain, most of which
has been thresbed. The country is
mostly in cultivation all the way.
But when we left Nevada we struck
the most desolate country of all, until
within three miles of Eldorado. 1t is
just succession of hills and hollows
with the dust from three to four inches
