THE EAnrn rREMnIEp.

Illinois, Indiana, Kent Il C ky,
Missouri, and several other states
were visited last Thursday by an
earthquake shock of considerable
magnitude. Cairo, ILL.,, seems to
have been the "center of attrac-
ton" for this shake up, where
great damage was done to public
and private buildings. From the
Daily Bulletin of that city we
CLEAN the following experience of
Night Sergeant Nichols of the
police force. He says:
"Of6cers Glade, Williamson and
myself were standing inside of the
Office of the police station, when
the building suddenly began to
weave and tremble. Furniture
tottered to and fro, windows rat
tied, and plastering began to fall
around us. Ali of this lasted
probably four or five seconds, but
that seemed an age. Finally
as the vibrations increased in
violence, and believing that the
building could not stand much
longer, / could stand it no longer,
and made dash for the street. l
did not have to urge upon Officers
Williams and Glade the necessity
of following me, and we llreach-
ed the center of the avenue neck
and neck.
"The sensations experienced
when reached the street almost
battles description. The ground
quaked and weaved, and rocked
and shook me till my teeth chat
tered, and almost threw me to the
ground. The earth, as far as my
leyes could reach, rose and fell
like the waves of lake, and
each time seeming to rise higher
than before.
"As watched these waves of
ground, felt myself being shaken
with such violence, and heard the
cracking of buildings around me,
| l felt certain that Cairo was be-
ing engulfed, and that before day
light lake would mark the spot
where Cairo on ce had bee n.
There seemed no possible chance
of escape; seemed rooted to the
spot, and my feelings can't even
be imagined, let alone described.
"Other people may claim that
the earthquake did not frighten
them, if they want to, but | am
frank to admit that | was, and
felt myself helpless before the
awful exhibition of NATURES pow
ler."

1t is now given out that Very
Rev. Father O'Gorman, of Wash
ington, will be the new Catholic
bishop for South Dakota, and
that his conservation will proba-
bly, take place during the present
month. He is of American birth
with Amerisan ideas, and as
Archbishop Ireland had much to
do with the selection he will
doubtless prove very acceptable
to the people of this diocese.

Last Friday morning Ralph Wilcox
tried to encourage the fire he had
built In his fathers stove with a dash
Of kerosene oil. The gas, which gen.
crates very rapidly on a smouldering
fire, exploded In his face, burning him
quite severely. The skin and some OF
the flesh peeled of, but DR.. Stocking
er thinks that by great care they can
prevent Disagreement. Mr.. Wilcox
saws they think his eyes were not in
jured. OF course all accidents Of this
kind-or any accident for that mat
ter-illustrates the necessity of eau
ton at all times, in the most common,
every day routine Of life. But We do
not heed the lesson. We are sorry for
Ralph. He is = bright boy, full OF
business and lots Of help to his par
ents. His enforced confinement will
be worse punishment than his hurt

Moments Work.

From now until the first Of June
Mrs. Luella R. Kraybill Of Winfield,
will devote a portion Of her time to
speaking and organizing Political
Leauges for women. Many women of
Kansas are beginning to realize that
nothing in the affairs Of men, mean
more to humanity than politics, and
that politics should be understood and
controlled by the just and fair mind
ed and not by political spOils hunters.
Political conditions mean as much
to women as men, and hence herein
are their rights and responsibilities
as great as those Of men. Those wish
ing to organize a league should cor
respond with Mrs. Kraybill.

Sheriff WOOdcock returned Friday
evening from a chase after Leon Bea-
gle who is arrested on a charge Of
stealing. When Sheriff WoOdcOck
started, Beagle was at Greeley, Kan,
but hearing that the officers were
after him, he started for the east
followed by the sheriff who tracked
him for over week and finally capt
ured him at Butler, Mo. The sheriff
landed his man in Jail here that even
ing. Beagle is thought to be one of
the gang who has been carrying on the
wholesale thieving in the south part
of this county. He denies any knOwl-

dictate guilt. Beagle's hearing has

The Hutchinson News has the follow
ing to say of Hon. W. ]. Lingenfelter:
when Lingenfelter was elected to
the senate he made the race against
the father of n. L. Hallowell. the
present assistant superintendent of
the RefOrmatOry. Hallowell was a
Republican and prohibitionist, and
Lingenfelter was an anti-prohibition
Democrat. He was the only Democrat
in the senate and served with Dick
Blue, Billy Buchan, John n. Ritter
and other noted Kansans who were in
that senate. Mr.. Lingenfelter used
to get lonesome watching the gentle
men on the "Other side of the hall"
but the respectable minority" of
which he was the one and only, always
found in him staunch advocate.
One day when the chairman of the
Republican caucus announced that
there would be caucus Of Republi-

News is slightly mistaken. The race
that Lingenfelter made against Hal

He was elected to the Senate in 1886,

Gordon last night delivered his lecture
upon 1.-THE Last Days Of the Con

COmander-in-Chief Walker, Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, james

Of the prominent veterans Of the

occupied the stage during the entire
evening, and appiauded freely. The

An Experiment Worth Trying

Topeka Nail.
An important new enterprise has
been started in Shawnee county,
under the name Of the Western Ex-
porting and Importing company. 1t
is limited corporation, chartered
under the laws Of Kansas, with a cap.
ital stock Of 100000, in 10000 shares
Of $40 each, George c. Lockwood Of
Topeka is president, Riley Ayers Of
Silver Lake township, vice.president;
]. W, Wise of Tecumseh township,
treasurer;J. P. Helmes OF Silver Lake,
township secretary; W. S. Price of Te-
eumseh, general solicitor and inspect
ing agent, and H. A. W. Corfsld, re-
Gently Of the land department of the
Santa Fe road, the European agent Of
the company. The headquarters and
main warehouse and Office of the com.
pany will be at Topeka, in the Office
block. The object Of the company is
to bring the farmer and producer Of
the west into closer communion with
the customers Of the world, thereby
avoiding, as far as possible, the profits
Of the middlemen.
The projectors of this movement are
oil well known and thoroughly reli-
able citizens Of Shawnee county, and
they propose to see what can be done
toward saving some Of the margin be-
tween the price received by the pro
ducer and that paid by the consumer.
The company will deal In the pro-
ducts of the farm, of the Touring
mills and other manufactures OF
breadstuffS, Of the canning factories
and in preserved meats, walnut,
oak and other timbers. A GER
tain agreed per cent, based upon the
latest cabled prices from England,
will be paid the producer for his pro-
ducts and the balance as soon as returns
are had from Europe. 1t is expected
by the company that the charges for
handling and selling will be about 81
to 5 per cent, and it is believed that
this will earn handsome dividends on
the shares and pay all expenses. How
1t will operate in competition with
established importers and exporters
dealing in the same class of goods re.
mains to be seen.

Whether it be an increase in ratri-

be difficult to decide, but the fact re-
mains that memorial day drew a
larger crowd to Miller last Thursday
than any of its predecessors, and the
afternoon was proftably commemo-
rated to the fallen heroes.
The procession to the cemetery
was the largest OF its kind ever
known in the county's history, there
being about sixty old veterans in
line, and enough sons OF veterans to
make the number close to one
hundred, who were led by the band
and followed by a long line OF car
riages.

A stay Of proceedings is announced
in the distinguishing sensation. The
affair has created a great deal of
talk, and as usual the further the
story travels from home the bigger
if gets, some papers going so far as
to include a whole church in it, with
the town divided into warning fac
tiOns. Such talk of course is non
sense. The matter is deplorable from
any standpoint, and the people OF
the community deeply regret the fall
of individuals heretofore held in es.
TEEN. But we must hope that this
drama in LIES tempestuous sea will
be a warning to Others, as well in
other localities as in this. One of the
great misfortunes of life in such cases
is the suffering they bring to those
connected by close ties, and who have
a community sympathyin this hour
of unusual affection.
