The Kansas City Journal Which Contra

The failure of the Populist state com
mittee to muster a quorum to consider
the matter of nominating a candidate for
chief justice means that Judge Martin
is to be reelected without opposition.
This is a handsome compliment to
Martin, Editorial in the Kansas City
Journal.
The Kansas City Journal editor should
be called to time. His opinions about
Chief Justice Martin are incompetent
and irrelevant. The Topeka correspond
ent of the Journal doesn't agree with the
editor of the Journal at all. He says
Chief Justice Martin ought to be turn ed
down by the Republicans because he is
too liberal in his opinions. The editor
of the Journal and its Topeka CORE
spondent should get together or its man
aging editor, if there is one, may take a
hand in the matter. As the STATE JOUR-
NAL said the other day the Kansas City
Journal has different policy on every
page and apparently has nobody with
wit or gumption enough TO control the
paper in any direction.

YOST, MEOIUM-CRAzY
Inventor of the Typewriter Daft
on Spiritualism.
Wasted All His Money and Lives
Almost Deserted.
Is POOR AND A WRECK
Departed Spirits Wrote Letters
to Him ON a Typewriter.
Mediums Conspired to Wheedle
Him Out of Money.

NEW YORK, July 6-The Herald says:
Because of his belief iu Spiritualism, and
through the impositions of professional
medium, G. W. N. Yost, the inventor of
the type writer, is living apart from his
family in furnished fiat on West Fifty
fourth street, attended by a friend and
provided with none of the luxuries OF
life which are necessary to man 20
years old.
He has expended time and thousands
of dollars in pursuing the ignis fatuus
which Spiritualists have danced be-
fore his eyes. He acknowledges
physical wreck. Yet he still
believes in the men who imposed on him
and declares that he is certain about the
things he believes he has seen as he
is that there is q heaven.
He was a man of fine intellect, a man
who has had family who is devoted to
him, yet is almost deserted. is scarcely
able to talk, much less continue his once
brilliant career. The man who was the
prime mover in the conspiracy of
mediums, is summering at Onset Bay,
Mass.
The Herald has the following account
in which Yost became interested in spirit
movements:
When visiting the Worlds Fair in
Chicago some acquaintances told Mr..
Tost that they knew of a young girl
named Lizzie Bangs, who was able to Sc
cure the most remarkable statements
from dead worthless by means of an
ancient and very decrepit type writing g
machine. Mr.. Yost visited the medium
and found that pieces of paper were ap-
falr ,1fN he.
machine signed by all the names of his
tory from Moses to Garfield.
1t was immensely interesting because
here was an actual exemplifcation of
his own idea of what spirits could do
with a typewriter in case they felt
so inclined. Miss Bangs lived on
Elizabeth street, Chicago, and MIR. Yost
visited her several times. and presented
her with new type writer which did in
fnitely better work than the old one.
But. Miss Bangs was an independent
medium, and it has never been intimated
that she was responsible for MIR. Yosts
misfortunes. He was however convinced
that type writing could be done in this
way, and he made up his mind that in
order to have constant communication
with the departed, he must have q me-
| dunn of his own.
| He accordingly surrounded himself
with galaxy of young men who were
represented as excellent mediums. From
spiritualistic typewriting to spiritualistic
portrait painting was an easy transition.
Mr.. Yost became interested. in this
branch of occult wonders much as Luther
r. Marsh, the prominent New York at
torney, became interested in the spirit
portraits produced by Ann Odelia Diss-
Debar
He spent thousands of dollars upon
the mediums and quarreled with friends
who protested Mrs. Beach of this city
widow of the founder of the Scientific
American; Melville c. Smith, protector
of the Arcade railway of this city, and
Robert Anderson, a wealthy mine ownel
of Minneapolis, are among the persons
who have purchased pictures from this
syndicate of mediums.

The New Supreme Court Looks Favor
ably on a Joseph Waters Case.
Captain j. G. Waters won an important
railroad damage case which was decided
by the supreme court today.
There has been considerable talk
among Topeka lawyers TO the effect that
luck was against Joe Waters whenever
he struck the supreme court, but his luck
seems to have turned Capt Waters al
ways claimed that the court was s'agin"
him, and had many sympathizers.
The case decided today is that of Mrs.
Margaret Hughes of Usage county
against the A. I. s. s. F. Railway com
pany.
On the morning of March Goth, 1890,
John Hughes and company of friends
got on u Santa Fe passenger train at
Scranton having purchased tickets to
Peterton.
cts he told them to get off at Peterton
and informed them that the train would
not stop at Peterton, but would slow up
for them to jump OFT
Acting under the instructions of the
conductor they jumped off Hughes was
the last to jump and he WAS hurt so
badly that he died within few minutes
Mrs. Hughes sued the company for
damages and in the district court of
Usage county she secured judgment In
the sum of $3.50.
The railroad company appealed the
case to the supreme conrt on the ground
that Hughes was intoxicated. The su-
preme court, however, says the jury was
supposed to have considered that and in
an unanimous decision affirms the de-
cision of the lower court
This is not only a Victory for Joe
Waters but it means a handsome fee for
him.
A Judgment Against the Mo. Pacific.
The supreme court today gave the

ment against the Missouri Pacific Rail
road Co. for $6.2525O for two car loads
of sugar which were burned while on q
Missouri Pacific switch.
The sugar was shipped into Wichita
over the Frisco, and the Missouri Pacific
was doing the switching. for which a rate
of 81 car was charged.
The cars were pushed on the track
near the grocery warehouse after night
and were destroyed by fire before morn
ing.
The supreme court holds that although
the Missouri Pacific was to receive bu
81 for its services, yet it was liable as

The report of the committee on state
school systems was read by the
chairman, Henry Sabin OF Des
Moines, Iowa. The subject con-
sidered was "Ungraded Schools" He
recommended the abolition of the school
district and the substituting of township
or county organization, for the purpose
of better distributing taxation and
the revenues received and of
securing more economical and effective
administration. Better training of cOun-
tv teachers for their work was urged
and county normals suggested
