Think It Over.
See here, Mr.. Voter, listen a min
ute.
The end of the campaign Is nearly
here. You are to decide in a few
days what candidates and what prin-
ciples of government you favor. The
voters Of Kansas have no cause or ex-
cuse to plead ignorance Of either
sides policies, men or records. Be-
fore them are parties which have had
a trial, which have been in command
Of the affairs of state, which have,
presumably, done their best toward
governing Kansas. You can take a
survey Of their records and make up
your mind as to their respective
claims upon you-for II Is your duty
to support one Of them and vote for
the candidates on one ticket or the
other.
Now which shall IL beP
Think it oyeI. Think ii over.
Two years Of Populism have made
the state Of Kansas a byword and
snecr among the people every
where; have lowered our credit, in
jured the value Of our homes and
property, given us incompetent, dis
honest officials, brought about dis
graceful exhibitions Of boodling from
governor down, given us lotteries
running at full blast and paying the
state officers for protection, made our
state institutions scenes Of quarrels,
petty pilierings and inhuman treat
mcnt of inmates, squandcred public
money, cntrenchcd nepotism as
cardinal virtue, raised our taxes, low
cred railroad and Pullman taxes--all
these and hundreds OF other damag-
ing effects from which the state Is
today suffering.
Do you want it continued and made
a hundred times worscp
DO you want the vicious principles
of the Populist party leading directly
toward Coxcyism, tramp armies,
paupersm and disregard Of tho rights
of property made permanent features
Of Kansas political IilcP
Do you want to endorse the over
throw Of the courts, the support Of
socialism, the advent Of reputation
and the destruction Of personal ambl-
ton and individual exertionp
In short, do you want to write
yourself down as follower Of the
crazy notions Of John Davis, G. c.
Clemens, Frank Doster and other
demagogues which they dish out in
such inane profusion in order to drag
themselves and all their relatives into
ollicep They don't believe them.
They are not honest in them. II they
are honest, they are not sane men.
Take your choice Of the propositions.
No sane man believes those theories
II he is posted IN the ordinary know-
edge of the world.
The time to act Is next Tuesday
In making the marks on the ballot
you write down your personal belief
in one principle or another, one set
Of men or another,
Do yon want to sign certificate of
good behavior, buslnesslikc methods
and sensible principles for the Popu-
list candidates and their PLATFORM
Think II over.

sides had taken part, Senator White of

Attempt to Blow Up n Bridge Over the
Railroad.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 21.-An attempt
was made last night to blow up the Cherry
street bridge over the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The instrument used was a bomb
made of gas pipe, sections of which were
found imbedded in the superstructure of
the bridge. twenty-five feet from the point
of the explosion. The bridge is not badly
damaged, although the conclusion smashed
windows and broke open doors of neigh
boring houses, and tore down telephone
and electric light wires
Many people in the vicinity at first
thought il was an earthquake and rushed
from their homes panic-stricken, but on
reconecting that it was election night con-
cluded that some one had fired off a can
non in celebration of the republican vic
tory.
There is great excitement over the affair
ii is only month since huge dynamite
bomb was found under the foundation of
a big four-story brick building adjoining
the police station. The fuse had been light
ed. but was defective and failed to explode
the bomb.
The bridge is a wooden structure and
Ii is believed that the intention of the mis-
creant was to wreck the western express
which was due a few minutes after the ex-
plOsion occurred. There is no clue to the
perpetrators.

THE DEATH RATE,
Falling OF In the Number as Com
pared With the Previous Week.

Falling on In the Number as COM
pared with the Previous Week.
THE sudden rise in the death rate of
week before last was followed by an
equally decided and favorable improvement
last week in the mortality Of the city,"
says the weekly report of Health Officer
Hammett. "As between the two weeks
there was falling off Of 40 in the number
of deaths The decline in the death rate
was I.3, which represents an annual saving
of over 1000 in the number of deaths.
During the same period of last year the
mortality was l26. as against ~ last week
The improvement seems to be general
as to the range Of diseases But two
deaths from catarrhal influenza were re-
ported, and the acute lung diseases de-
clined nearly 40 per cent. Diphtheria and
typhoid fever followed in similar ratio
there having been but two fatal cases of
the former and one of the latter The
dangerous contagious zymotic malades are
calling for comparatively less attention
from the medical profession. While there
are sporadic cases of whooping cough
measles and scarlatina, their presence is
felt mostly in the anxiety and inconven-
ience of sickness in the family home.
The general health of the city appears to
be unusually good considering the season of
the year, and the conditions give ground
for hope that there may be a continuance
thereof and that this remarkably warm
weather may not be followed hereafter by
serious results.
The report shows: Number of deaths, 90;
white, ~; colored, As. Death rate per LOCO
per annum: White, 11.2; colored, 2I.I.

INSURANCE RATES RAISED.
Chicago Underwriters Claim That
They Have Lost Money.

CHICAGO. Feb. 21.-The Chicago Fire
Underwriters Association at last nights
meeting decided upon a sweeping advance
of twenty-five per cent in rates on mer-
camille risks. Heretofore the prevailing rate
was one per cent. Approximately $50 600,
600 worth Of property is affected, chiefly in
the downtown districts
The increased rates apply to stock and
buildings in the territory bounded by Mich
igan street on the north, Halsted on the
west and 18th on the south. Outside this
territory the buildings are exempted, but
the stocks must stand the increase.
Inc reason given for the action is the
continued losses by the companies doing
business in Chicago. The underwriters
claim no money was made last year, and
that this year the losses so far will equal
the gross receipts. The total annual prem
iums taken in by the Chicago companies
average A,500O00. II is estimated that the
premiums on the risks affected by the pres
ent increase amount to l,50O,0OO. Conse-
quently. the insurance companies will put
into their Golfers an extra $4,000 b. their
action. which will be divided up among 80
companies.

Ciaret Punch mt a Climb Fair.

A case involving the sale of claret punch
at club fair held in Bethel Hall several
weeks ago was set for trial in the Police
Court today. William Martin and Freder-
lex Booker were the defendants. They
were represented by Lawyer Campbell Car
rington, who thought that the case ought
not TO be tried, and questioned the strength
of the punch. Mr.. Pugh, for the prosecu-
ton, said the chemist had made an analy-
sis of the punch and he was ready to give
the court the result.
And he added, in jocular manner, 81
can put Mr.. Mullowney on the stand as an
expert to prove that the punch is intox-
icating."
"Oh, no." said Mr.. Darlington. Il can
prove that Mr. Mullowney never drinks
punch as weak as claret"
The case was finally continued indefinitely
and the defendants personal bonds were
taken.

CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT.
Encouraging Reports From Through
out the West.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The Farmers Re-
view today says Of winter wheat: Wheat
in Illinois is quite generally under a blan-
ket of snow. The prospects of the crop
are reported good, and the recent snow
will do much to lessen the danger of any
disaster. Little or none of the wheat has
yet been winter-killed
In Indiana the conditions are much the
same in Illinois
Ohio sends encouraging reports. On some
of the fiat land freezing and thawlng has
been going on, this area being however,
small
Snow covers the crop in Michigan, and
the condition is good, though in some coun-
ties the crop has made little growth
In Kentucky wheat has generally stood
the winter well.
Wheat in Missouri is in good condition
and will be improved much by the recent
heavy snow.
In Kansas the ground has been rather
dry. but is now covered with snow, which
will help the crop.
The reports from Nebraska Indicate a
condition somewhat less favorable than
Kansas.
The crop condiaons in Iowa are various
In Wisconsin the winter wheat is in fair
condition. Most of the wheat Is now pro-
tected by snow.
