Old Glory.

The United States flag was III years
old June IA. If any national colors are
entitled to the designation cold Glory"
those adopted by Uncle Sam III years
ago certainly are. The flag of the United
States is older than the majority of the
flags of European nations flying to-day.
The flag of Great Britain was adopted
in 1901, or twenty-four years after that
of the United States. The flag of Spain
was adopted in 1875, while the tri-color
of France, also the red, white and blue,
took form in 1894. The flag of Portugal
was adopted in 1910, that of Italy in 1S4S,
and that of the German empire in 1871,
80 that the starry banner of the United
States may be called the "Old" flag.
The Stars and Stri pes also have been
through more battles and have waved
over more victories. both on the seas and
the land, than any other flag flying in
any part of the world to-day. Its near
est competitor is the flag of Great
Britain, but since 1900 British victories
on land and sea have been inconsidera-
BILE as compared with those of the Unit
ed States. More lives have been given
up and more limbs sacrificed in the de-
Tense of the Stars and Stripes than for
any European flag. Over million men
have died in order that that pretty bunt-
army of 25,OOO,OOO unenlisted men
stands ready to-day to see that no dis
honor befalls Old Glory.
The flag of the United States undoubt-
eddy was suggested by the national flag
of Netherlands, which at that time con-
sisted of three horizontal stripes SYM
bolic of the rise of the Dutch republic.
Netherlands was often referred to by the
founders of the United States as model
for our present form of government, and
it was frequently quoted in the debates
in the Constitutional convention. On
June IA, 1777, the American congress re-
solved that the flag OF the thirteen states
should be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white, and that the Union be a
blue field with thirteen white stars ar
ranged in circle indicating 'a new con-
stellatiOn" among the nations OF the
earth, the idea of the flag being that
each star and each stripe should repre-
sent one of the thirteen original states.
In 1874, on the admission of Kentucky
and Vermont into the Union, the flag
was made with fifteen stars and fifteen
stripes, but on July 4, 1918, it was
changed so that there should be the or
iginal thirteen stripes, while new star
was to be added for each state.
The stars and stripes, in the course of
1T years, has been carried into all quar-
tiers OF the globe and into all navigable
corners of the ocean. 1t has foated from
some of the highest mountain peaks in
the world, and has been carried down
into the lowest caves and coal pits. 1t
waves to-day over more Municipalities
than any other flag on earth. Then let
the eagle scream and the small boy
shout! Hurrah for the Stars and
Stripes IN. Y. Sun.

From the Hays City Sentinel.

On Saturday afternoon hail storm OF
unusual severity swept over Northern
and central Ellis county. 1t was very
damaging to growing crops, many fields
of wheat and corn being cut to pieces
The principal damage lies in Buckeye
township, where also the most promis-
ing crops could be found. Many farmers
put their loss at from one-half to total
A whirlwind struck the places of Hiram
Joy and Howard Baker. joys stone
residence was unroofed, and Mrs. Joy
received some serious bruises from fall
ing debris. She remained unconscious
for some time, but is now out of danger.
At Bakers, the house, barn, granary,
sheds, ETC., were moved from their foun-
dations, all the way from few to hun
dred feet. 1t is reported that several
houses near Fairport were blown down
or damaged, but we have received no
particulars. Within the week three
heavy rains have thoroughly soaked the
ground.
From now until further notice it will
be known as philips opera house" "
We have always felt that Georgie's hon
esty and sobriety coupled with his

The President of France Assassin
ated.

LYONS, France, June 25.-President
Carnot, of France, was stabbed through
the left side by Cesard Giovanni Santo,
young Swiss anarchist, last night
while ON his way to attend fete at the
theater, and three hours later was dead.
The knife of the murderer had pierced
through the upper liver and from the
first there. was no hope of his recovery.
The wresched assassin was terribly
beaten by the infuriated people who wit
messed the terrible crime, but was saved
for the guillotine by gendarmes and SOL
diers.
The international silk exhibition in
this city was opened yesterday, and
President Carnot and most of the minis
tiers were honored guests. The distin-
guished party spent some time ut the ex-
hibition and were then rendered ban
quent at the chamber of commerce. A
gala performance had been arranged at
the principal theater for the evening,
and the president and his party started
for the structure at 9:25 o'clock, the
presidents party in front. The streets
were lined with enthusiastic people who
cheered repeatedly for their popular
chief magistrate. All seemed perfectly
bright and only one Of all the hosts on
streets was aware of any cloud to mar
the happiness of the people OF France.
The presidents carriage, which was
in the lead, had been driven slowly
down the Rue de Ia Republique when,
just as he was waving his right hand
and saluting with his hat in his left, a
man pushed his way through the cheer
ing masses and leaped upon the step.
A long knife was in his hand. A mos
ment it flashed in the electric light
beams as it was raised aloft. Then be-
fore even one cry of warming could be
uttered, it descended with terrible force.
The president fell back on the seat of
the carriage while one hand pressed his
left side.
NJ. Rivaud, project of Lyons, whose
guest President Carnot was, leaped up
like a flash and struck the cowardly as
sassin blow full in the face, hurting him
from the step just as he was preparing to
raise the bloody poinard for u second
blow.
The tragedy occupied but an instant,
but that instant plunged all France into
mourning.

One of the vilest and most unreas-
enable papers published in the state to-
day is the Ottawa Journal, State Printer
Shows paper. Says the Eureka Messen-
ger, democratic OF its editor:
'The editor of the Ottawa Journal
breaches doctrine that destroys hope
and paralyzes individual effort; doc
trine that brushes the spirit and dims
the eye of every person who accepts it.
He is teacher who tells the boys and
girls of the country that they are DOOM
ed to life of unrequited toll; that they
can never hope to do or be anything in
the world by honest, patient effort; that
corrupting and oppressive wealth has
closed all the paths to competence and
honor and that the only thing left for the
great ajority of our people is to oppose
everything that is established and spend
their lives in a calamitOus howl against
existing conditions. The reader of a
paper like the Journal run the risk of q
man who exposes himselfto contagious
and incurable disease, for if the virus of
the Journals doctrines once enters a
PERSONS mental organization, he can
never be entirely sound again. The doc
trines OF the Journal fall like a wither-
ing blight upon all those attributes OF
human nature that make men and wo-
men hopeful, progressive and attractive.
Like the lurking poison of a loathsome
disease they yitiate the currents Of life
and transform bounding, vigorous health
into impotent and offensive corruption.
They embitter the mind, sour the dispo-
position, curdle the milk of human
kindness, stifie ambition and destroy
human character"

Brutal Assault of Two Girls at
DightOn,

At Dighton, Lane county, before day
light this morning, some unknown brute
made his way into room occupied by
Miss Belle Donovan and her younger
sister, and after beating the younger
girl into insensibility he choked the
other into submission and twice ravish-
ed her. The fiend then made his escape
and the girls are able to give little de-
scription of him beyond saying he was
a white man. Both girls are in a pre-
carious condition. The whole county
side is aroused and people are out
searching for the fiend in all directions.
If he is captured he will undoubtedly be
lynched Il Capital 10Th inst.

gram announced, at their recent state
convention, that the subcommittee on
elections had reported to unseat Funston
and seat Moore in the Second Congress

coinage of silver. Moore is banker,
yet he is cheered TO the echo by this par
ty which processes to want more farmers
in high places in the management OF

If one-half of H. n. Gaines utter
ances to Ed. Barber, of the La Cygne
Journal, are half true they show Gaines
to be hypocritical sneak. of the vilest
sort. Evidences are increasing that
Gaines is foul-mouthed, profane black
guard who ought to assigned to place
as prince of devils instead of standing at
the head of the educational interests of
a great state. Barber is backing his
statements concerning Gaines with affi-
davits that seem unanswerable, and the
people ought to know the character OF
the man whom they choose for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.

The ,populists are crying down with
national banks and while they are try
ing to denationalize the banks they are
clamoring to nationalize everything else.
If the banks are not managed in the in
terests of the people, as populists aver,
what assurance have they that the same
federal authority would not mismanage
the railroads, telegraphs, etc.? If one
is not good why would the other be? A
change, blowing of a tin horn seems to
be about all the argument there is in the
nationalizing schemes of the populists.
The wholesale abuse of Kansas Re-
publicans by the woman suffrage leaders
at the Topeka Indignation meeting was,
to say the least. bad politics. The adop-
ton of the suffrage amendment in Kan
sas this fall depends largely upon the
votes of Republicans who expect to vote
for suffrage, but who considered it mex
pedient to put the plank into the party
platform Too much abuse from the
leaders of the movement may have the
affect of souring many of these voters
and lose the amendment many votes.
