He HAS A LONG CHAT

Incidentally there was the commence

Eureka yesterday, principally there was
Ingalls-the tall, slim, now whiteheaded,
striking, unique John James Ingalls,.
That was why Eureka was decorated
with flags and bunting and merchants
found a sale for their long untouched
red, blue and white cheese cloth.
Crowds of people were assembled in
the streets and at the hotels, while the
frequent appearance of SUNDAY clothes"
attested the fact that large numbers of
country people and residents of neigh
boring towns had come to town to hear
the eloquent ex-senator and the perhaps
be senator from Kansas.
This Is the first time Mr.. ingalls, ever
spoke in Kansas where an admission fee
was charged, and he only did so this
time as a donation. The Southern Kan
sas academy wanted to pay him to come
and deliver a lecture in order to raise
money to pay a debt, but he replied that
he had never spoken in this state for a
remuneration and declined to accept any
thing in this case.
He agreed however, to give his SER

FULL OF ARMED MEN
Every Trust Distillery is Now a

United States Marshals.
A FIGHT Is FEARED.

All Depends on Decision OF
U. s. Supreme Court.
A FIGHT Is FEARED.

CHICAGO, Ill, June IA local paper
says: Every distillery in the United
States controlled by the whisky trust has
been turned into an arsenal
For nearly month past United States
deputy marshals have had their quarters
in the distilleries. They are all heavily
armed and prepared to resist any attack
that may be made. or any attempt to
take possession.
1t is not incendiaries or dynamiters that
the receivers fear. A decision is daily
expected from the supreme court of the
state which may have the effect of pre-
cipitating hostilities. These may take a
civil form or they may be in the nature
of pitched battle with firearms.
The anxiously expected decision is in
the case of the DistilIing and Cat
tie Feeding company VS.. the Peo-
pie, ex. rel, the attorney general.
This is the case where Attorney General
Maloney filed information for a writ OF
quo warranto declaring the company to
be an illegal corporation in effecting a
trust, and existing contrary to the anti
trust laws of the state.
He was sustained by the circuit court.
The decision was appealed by the trust
to the supreme court, and decision, 1t is
expected, will be handed down within a
few days.
The effect of decision sustaining the
action of the attorney general will have
the effect, it is said, of restoring the
original owners of the distilleries the
right and title to the various plants, on
the ground that all sales to the trust
were illegal aud that any such contracts
made with the trust were in violation OF
the antitrust statutes, and therefore
void.
There have been enough individual
moves in the direction of force to alarm
the receivers-and hence the heavily
armed guards of the United States dep
uty marshals in the distilleries.
There are twenty nine bonded distill-
cries in the trust, with more than eighty
plants. Twenty of these are located in
Cook county.
The value is many millions of dollars
and it seems to be the opinion of out
siders as we'll as Of the receivers of the
trust that the original owners will make
a strong fight to get possession should

Disinfection After Scarlet Fever.
Experiments by DIR. William Gibson,
of Campbeltown, Scotland, in disinfect-
ing scarlet fever patients SO as to free
them from contagiOn before the pro-
cess of desquamation is completed,
have resulted successfully, according
to the Philadelphia Ledger. His
method was to give a succession of
three or four comfortably warm baths,
sometimes daily, at other times on
alternate days, using freely carbolic
acid soap, and washing the patienr
thoroughly from top to toe. After
each bath, except the last, the patient
was put back to the bed on which he
had lain with the disease. After the
last bath he was taken into clean
room, dressed with clothes free from
| infection, and then allowed to mingle
with the rest of the family. In most
cases the body was anointed daily
with olive oil mixed with some disin-
| fectant. Patients with such complica-
tions as otitis or liberated or suppurat-
| ing throat, were not subjected to the
process. No complications followed
the cleansing process in any case, but
convalescence seemed to be rather
hastened than retarded.-N. Y. Times

THE LITTLE GIRL
WHOSE POWER OF OBSERVATION WAS
VERY EMBARRASSING.

A handsome young woman with a
beautiful little girl OF 4, says the San
Francisco Post, sat in Il crowded Mar
ket street Car yesterday.
You've got on mammals dress
havn't you, Aunt Alice?' remarked
the child.
Aunt Alice flushed and called at
tentiOn to IA balloon man on the cor
ncr.
Yes, the last time mamma wore
that dress down town she bought me
a balloon. Will you buy me one, Aunt
Alice?'
Yes, II you'll be good
oh, III be good DO you like NAM
mas hat? 1t makes you look pretty,
Aunt Alice
There. be good girl. See that
woman out there with a little girl
There was silence and Aunt Alice
breathed "a sigh Of relief. Then the
child enQuired.
Did mamma say you could wear her
pin, Aunt Alice ,? She wouldn't let
me wear it, cause she was afraid l
would lose it..
YES, of course. Do be quiet, Mel
lie,"
"Will you buy me balloon, then ?"
"Yes."
"And can carry it?'
YES"
"All right, then take mammals
parasOl. l don't want to carry it any
longer, cause couldn't carry it and a
balloon too. Haven't you got any
best dress of your own, Aunt Alice ?"
Aunt Alice yanked the little girl
out of the car by the arm, and the
chances are that she got no balloon.

FATHERS MUST BE CAREFUL
THERE.

Among the Indians of British
Guiana usage bids the father 90 to
bed when a child is born, and allows
the mother to return ut once to her
household duties. James ROdway's
recently published book on that coun-
try explains the custom by surersti.
tion which attaches the spirit Of the
child to the body OF the father. The
author says:
"Thc father must not hunt, shoot,
or fell trees for some time, because
there is an invisible connection be-
tween himself and babe, whose spirit
accompanies him In all his wander
ings, and might be shot, chopped or
otherwise injured unwittingly. He
therefore retires to his hammock,
sometimes holding the little one, and
receives the congratulations of his
friends, as well az the advice of the
elder members OF the community. II
he has occasion to travel, he must not
go very far, as the child and spirit
might get tired, and in passing a
creek, must first lay across it little
bridge or bend a leaf into the shape Of
canoe for his companion"

THE MOSSBACK.

We clip from the Kansas City Star
the following pen picture Of the moss'
back:
"Thc voice of the mossback is for
obstruction first last afid all tile
time. The richer he becomes the
louder he howls about the poverty Of
the town and its inability to better
its condition.. With him the time
never comes when conditions are pro-
pitious for going ahead. He always
raises the racket about condition
being too hard, or the people too poor,
or the taxes too high. The more mon;
ey he gets the more he wants, and the
more reluctant he Is to pay any Of 1t
out. His voice and his vote are against
progress in all its forms. He kicks
on paving the streets, he would pre-
fer to see the city dirty to having il
cleaned; he is rabId In his opposition
to parks which he regards In the light
OF a wicked extravaganza. In short,
he is bitterly hostile to any movement
which Is likely to cost him cent;
however much it might benefit him
self, his neighbors and the general
public. He is human sponge, he ab-
serbs everything and gives out nothi
ing, he feeds upon the community
which he tries to starve; he kicks
like a steer on taxes for public inn
prOvement, but gloats over his share
of the increment which is sure to te;
suit from undertakings which benefit
the general public.

CREDIT TOO CHEAP.

The Bolton Times pens the follow.
ing thought which should be carefully
read by those who do not pay their
debts promptly. Perhaps In this
they will find the cause.
''Some people who buy on credit
think that a person who Is able to sell
on time is able to loose It. All they
ask is can we get 1t and never ask
themselves, can we pay for it? This
perhaps, has much to do with the
present condition Of affairs as all
other agencies combined. Credit is
too cheap, and the day is not far dis:
tant when only the pure IN heart will
be extended time on their purchases. "
