HORSE BLOCKS

Robbed.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
Not long ago a Star writer had
occasion TO be in Western Missouri.
Just north OF Kansas City. about
twelve miles, is the little town Of
Parkville. It is built I'D on the two
sides Of q valley which opens against
the broad Missouri, and the hamlet
might contain perhaps fifty houses.
Among other matters, however. II
shelters a seminary of considerable
local fame, which teaches both bows
and girls the higher branches Of an
education, but with which Just now
We have nothing TO do. The main
street OF the village runs along the
bottom Of the valley at right angles
with the Missouri river.
The Star writer was sitting in front
Of one Of the stores, smoking a very
bad cigar OF local origin, and con-
versing with the merchant who had
sold il It was about 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon and many of the coun-
try people were coming into town.
A country girl of the region came
cantering up on bareback horse
and slid off on what, now that the
Star mans attention was called TO
II, he noticed was a queer sort of
horse block.
II was nothing more nor less than
an old rusty safe OF considerable
size Il had apparently lain there
for years, and when examined dis

one side, clearly the work of expIo-
sives- At this point the attention of
the investigator from the East was
called TO two other safes. similarly
exploded. and also lying on their
sides in the street and doing duty as

How about these safes?' asked
the Star man of the Parkvi1Ie mer-
chant. What story goes with
them? %

The Massachusetts Legislative Committee, sent to the South to investigate the causc of the re
 moval of cotton mills from New England, gives some very inter- estlng tacts in its report, which is at the same time very encouraging to the South. It says that "in 18- g there was an increase of 7S0- GOO in the number of spindles in the whole country, and 68 per cent. of them were in Massaehu- setts. In that year New Bedford and Fall River alone gained more than all the Southern States com bined. During 1893 and 1891 the gain in spindlcS in the Southern Mills was 3S7 ,442, while in Mas sachusetts it was 3l9,737, showing q larger gain m the South. In 18
 92 the South had about 20 per cent. of the total increase. In 18- 93 and 1894 it had about 45 per cent. Massachusetts had about 36 per cent. of the two years in crease in the country. There are now twenty new mills under con struction in the South, requiring 2S5, ,000 spindlcs and S6,000, 900 capital, making a total of Sl03,- 600, ,000 capital and 3,000,000 spin dies. The capital invested in New England alone in 1889 was Sl57, ,590. $50; in 1890 it was S243.
 l53. 249; in 1894 it was $275,000, GOO. Thus, in fourteen years, the South has increased it's capital about 10 per cent. and Now Eng land about 75 per cent, showing that the tendency is towards the South" l" The committees report IS entirely in favor of the South as a cotton goods manufacturing cen ter. Better climate, cheaper coal and more satisfactory labor, and better laws affecting the interests of industrial concerns are to be found in the South than in the New England States.-Gazette.

The conviction of Anderson Gray in Kansas for the murder of Thos. Patton, is a disgrace to the Judiciary of that State, and should Gray be executed his death can
 not be considered in any other light than that of q legal murder. Thos. Mcdonald murdered Patton, and evidence was procured by the
 defense 10 prove that Mcdonald
 was under the hypnotic influence
 of Gray when he committed the
 deed. There was nothing in the euidenee to show that Gray was
 within twenty miles of the scene of the murder when 1t was com mitted. The conviction of Gray for the killing of Patton is one of the most outrageous verdicts ever rendered by an American jury l.. R. Democrat.
 Hypnotism, in its present as pect, is too much like old time witehery to merit legal reeogni. tion. Whatever power may have been in ancient neeromancv 1t is a notable fact that the art, if art it was, disappeared with the legal interdiction. There does not ap- pear to he any valid reason for coming a new word to describe the influence that strong mind has over il weak intellect, or to place extraordinary stress upon q fact that IS we'll known 10 be as old as humanity. Whenever one inan commits a crime or does any evil at the instigation of another, be is hypnotized, but principal and accessory are better and plainer terms 10 express the situation. Whenever cour: of justice lends tredence to the supposition that sane man can be put into such mental condition by another, that he is absolutely Irresponsible for his apparently voluntary deeds, it pats premium upon the power called hypno,ism, that will make it one Of the most formidable tools that was ever wielded by deprav- ei mortals -Gtbg.

Grand Prairie and other parts cl the State, from the exhibit made at chicago is not drop in the bucket, when compared with the good that would accrue from a proper displaying of our natural resources at the Cotton States Exposition. At this exposition We are brought in contact with q thrifty and industrious class who have been inclined to pass through l the Statc into Texas, all because we have never advertised our selves in that section, while Tex as has spent hundreds of thous- ands of dollars during the past twenty years, and as a result we find She people from the South east passing through the State as rapidly as the railroads can carry them, directly into Texas. This condition Of affairs could and should be changed. It will be If VIC act the part of wise men and make the appropriation sought in this bill. We make some effort on our part if we expect to reap golden harvest. It must Hot be said tha; Arkansas is the only Southern State not represented at the greatest exposition ever held in the South. There can be no denial of the fact that we would easily outstrip any of our sister States in many of our natural re. sources. We would go to the ex- position with the full assurance of not only attracting the favorable attention of the people of the South, but hundreds of thousands from other sections of the country as well.
 Immigration is what we most need and must have. Then let us offer every induccment to attract immigrants from the Southeastern States that they may assist the public spirited men of the State to develop our grand but largely un- developed resources.-Gazette.
