The prompt conviction of Prendergast,
the murderer of Mayor Harrison. and
the penalty of death prescribed, will do
much to discourage the homicidal tend
ency OF cranks. The man who can de-
liberately plan murder, execute it, and
plan an escape on the plea OF insanity, is
as dangerous as a rattlesnake and should
be removed as quickly. Even if Prender-
CAST is insane, 1t is form of. insanity which
would quickly yield to sense of fear
His execution will be warning to other
cranks who seek notorlty through MUIR
der. The execution of Guiteau checked
this brood of murderers. The execution
OF the sentence pronounced on Prender-
CAST is demanded both as a punishment
of his crime and as warning to others
who are seized with passion to kill if
their own worthless lives are not put in
jeopardy.

A VANISHED PEOPLE
HOW lid They Transport Mammoth
Rocks to Build a Mysterious Cavern?

On the shores of Brittany there is a
mysterious relic of forgotten ages
which escapes the notice of most trav-
elcrS. says the M}ii0R
Far out in the Morbihau Sea-across
which legend tells us Arthur sailed
with his knights in pursuit of the lra-
gCE-rises Il little island. 1t can be
reached in a boat from the coast only
in calm sea. \ Breton shepherd mas
a solitary hut upon it and fee is t few
sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse the traveller finds himself
at the foot of hill, in The face of
winch has been cNcavated great tun-
mel or cave, iloored. walled, and rooted
by huge flat rocks.
Some arch9ologiSts say that this
cavern was the work of The wor,hiDcrs
OF the serpent cod or Hoa-a race that
has passed into oblivion.
The unlcarued traveller knows only
that the mysterious cavern antudates
all history; that the rocks of which it
Is built came from the mainland, a
distance OF more than 100 miles in
land. No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation OF The
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would
require vast labor and skin to bring
these enormous blocks of stone and
place them so securely as to defy the
wear and friction OF ages.
How were they brought here by
men who had, perhaps, few mcchan-
ical appliances nothing but the
strength OF their bodies and their iaith
IN strange god?
The race who built the tempe are
dust Even their names ages az per-
ished from the earth. Their rr,J zion
IS vanished. These stones are the
monuments Of their indomitabl, reso-
luton. That dclcs the flight OF years.

How a Bank Run Was Stopped.

This is good story how q smart
New York drummer stopped run on
little western bank. The CONNER
cial traveller arrived in the town lust
when the excitement over the bank
was at its height. There was really no
cause for the run; the bank was per-
fecty solvent, but the presdent-a
good friend of the New Yorker-real-
lzed that, if the senseless withdrawal
OF the funds was not straightway
stopped, 1t would be but question of
few hours before the bank would be
forced to suspend payment. Imme-
date action was necessary, and the
drummer proved to be the man of the
hour. His offer of assistance was
eagerly accepted by the president and
he was given all due liberty. OFF
went the drummer and in few min
utes he returned with the town asses
sor, who Immediately fell in with his
plan. The assessor was stationed with
paper and pencil at the paving telIer's
window. The next depositor in the
long, anxious line noticed that op-
posite his name the amount of his
withdrawal was put. what are Won
doing| inquired the surprised depos-
itor. "Oh, nothing" replied the as
SCISSOR; Il am only correcting some
mistakes in my personal tax list.
see you were only assessed at having
$1,000 cash, while YOU have just with
drawn over $4,000" OF course the
whole line of depositors heard the
colloquy at the teller's window. In
minute a man dropped out of his place
and left the bank. Then another went
out. Then they began to slip out by
twos and threes and in few minutes
there was no line left. The bank was
saved.

ADVERSELY has its uses, ani-let

ADVERSELY has its uses, ani-let politi-
clans say what they will,-ady ersity is a
child of the past, not future events cast
ing their shadows before" The evil
times of the last year were the inevitable
result of our own actions, but it seems
we are not inclined to heed the lesson SO
far as recognizing the cause is concerned
And still some good will come from
our distress, though it will be temporary
as only the local causes which are off
shoots from the parent stem of protec.
ton, will receive merited attention. Not
so much business will be done as hereto
fore without capital. The credit system
will not be so extended and wild specu-
lation will slumber for awhile. Times
may be hard while matters, locally. are
adjusting themselves to conditions, But
what growth We shall have will be of
hardy fiber.
The farm will receive more attention
than 1t has for years. Agriculture was
not tainted by protection and has, in con-
sequence, been built on a secure founda-
ton. Wool which tasted the sweets of
protection feels the general depression
and protectionlsts are appealing to farm
ers TO guard the interests of wool. as the
most cherished thing produced. If wool
had worked out its own salvation as
other agricultural products have: had 1t
not hung on the skirts of protection, ii
would not now be pleading for special
iavors.
Those who fought for a revenue tariff
always insisted that agriculture was the
backbone of this country and that It
should not be Disseminated against,
When the trial came their position was
amply sustained by the facts. Agricul-
tural interests stood as firm as q roch
and their real strength was revealed bv
the tottering weakness of the pampered
concerns 10y which they were surrounded
There Is not a city In Wisconsin which
feels the pressure of hard times less than
Manltowoc does. 1t did not grow as
rapidly as other places, bit it grew in
natures fsshion and III harmony with lie
agricultural environments. Agricultu-
raj interests exercised reflex action IN
other Industries and a greater volnme q.
business for the PAM. year of 1898 in
every line, Is to be credited o Manitovoc
than Tor the year 1922. This is not con-
lecture but matter of statistics gather
cd with some care.

ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
Bodies of Dead Strikers Found In the
Woods Near Uniontown.


UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 5.-At 10 o'clock
today the bodies OF eight murdered
Hungarians were found in the woods
near Dawson, by some boys who
were going across the fields 10
school. The men were found lying
in different sections of the woods and
all had bullet holes through their
bodies and were more or less beaten up.
1t is supposed they were shot yesterday
afternoon by deputies during an at
tack on the Bradford Works and
crawled out into the woods to die. In the
conflict at these works there were volleys
OF shot fired, and 100 were killed outright
during the attack.
The bodies found have been identified
as those of members OF the mob. They
are still lying in the woods and the
authorities refuse to care for them.
The hill farm mines were overrun by a
horde of strikers today and the workmen
were driven from the grounds, despite the
fact that deputies were on guard.
The works are now closed. All the
roads leading TO the Moore wood and Alice
mines are guarded by deputies and the
strikers cannot reach them except byway of
Mount Pleasant road on which the famous
battle OF 1891 was fought and in which
seven strikers were killed. The mob is
marching to Mount Pleasant.
