THEY WEAKENED,

The three young Englshmen who were arrested at Chardron, Neb., for violating the city ordinances with their wheels have paid the fines and are free. The cold logic of the ball and chain after two days service on the street gang brought them to time. They have, how ever, lodged a protest with the British consul, which doubtless will be filed in the waste basket.

SPIT THE BULLET OUT. A Negress Shot in the Mouth by a Would
 Be Murderer.

A shooting affray occurred on yes- terday, which resulted in the would-be murderer finding himself in jail and his intended victim more scared than hurt.
 John Underwood, a negro, came to Bes- semer from Blue Creek in search of Mary Pratt, a negress, with whom he had formerly lived and with whom he had quarrelled. The negro and negress met in a saloon, and some words followed. The woman hit the man over the head with a poker, whereupon he drew a pistol and fired at her at short range. The bullet went wide of it's mark. He fired a second time, the bullet striking the womans teeth and lodging in her mouth. She spat the bullet out and turned to run, when the negro attempted to shoot again, but was prevented by Officer Jones, who came in about that time and collared Underwood and took him to the city prison.

A Big Success In One Sense.

An ordinance requiring bicyclists to carry bells and lamps, and not to travel more than six miles an hour within the city limits, was passed a week ago by the city council of Topeka and has caused a lively rumpus. The wheel men object to the ordinance, especially that limiting speed to a brisk walking pace, and the night after its passage ev- cry bioyclist in the city turned out with the loudest bell and the brightest head light he could procure, and procession started round thu town making hide ous din. There were COW bells, sleigh bells, dinner gongs, house bells, trian- gles and trolley gongs, while one man had trolley car headlight, and half 8 dozen carried big stable lanterns. The uproar was tremendous, and the desnon- stration big success, in one sense. The wheelmen claim they are simply obey ing the ordinance, which does not speci- fy the kind of bell or light that shall be carried, but the chief of police threat ems to arrest the wheelmen wholesale for disturbing the peace if they persist in their novel demonstration.

FIVE THINGS.


EDiT"E 'srcA.i.s
Let me SAY I'VE thingz.
!. thank you for Your edi,orisl
notice OF the memorial. by a commit
tee OF the Baptist State convention,
presented on January 18th to the
Gene RAJ Assembly.
In your Indication, however, that
the effort il 10 destroy" the Stat.
schools for higher education. you do
the convention and the committee
great injustice.
Will you not, therefore, publish
the memorial, II possible, in full that
all Of your readers may know our
true posi,lon'
;. The men who are pushing this
question to the front, after careful
study, honestly believe that the
States present policy in education i
great wrong, il obstructive TO the
+ best educational Interests OF the peo-
pie; that II ought 10 he changed, and
that there ought TO be and can be no
satisfactory compromise with it.
3. There is, therefore, to be con
tinued, vigorous, and an aggressive
discussion Of this question before the
people for the next two years. The,
are Of the opinion, as they believed
founded on facts, that the people
, will demand II settlement III 1896
and that no man or set of men cal
then prevent it from being made !
permanent and vital issue in thu
State elections.
= t. They would greatly prefer
settlement now along the lines o
their memorial and petition, and u
, indicated ia Senate bills III and l7-
= but, If this is refused, the friends O
State aid, and not their opponents
must be responsible for the con tin Hs
: ton of this question before the PEI
r pie and the results which may 70
low.
). The only final remedy, for tt
. troubles named in this memorial, i
II by proper amendments, to elimina'
from the constitution the pow'
!, therein conferred on the General A
~ sembly to appropriate money to Il
!, higher, collegiate, and Universe
!" edncOtiOn, and to add amendmen
ee which will prohibit all appropriatio
A. to the higher, collegiate and Cnive
r.. sity education, to sectarlan schOO
and to all institutions not own
and controlled by the State.
t., The committee is in no doubt abo
in the final result. Their appeal is
ed the people. They are ready for
conflict and the results.
