WAGON WHEELS, SNAKES,
Used to Plague the County Superinten-
dent of Nemeha County.

SENECA, Kas., June 10. - Recently
County Superintendent Strong went
to his office in the court house at
Seneca, and found the whole rear
running gear of q wagon on his ia
BILE. One day last week he stepped into
his den and found two large bullsnakes
gliding along the floor.
The first was TO indicate the wheels in
his head, and the latter was warning as
to the results of alcoholic stimuli ants
used to excess. The entire matter
was the work of the practical joker gang
about the court house.
It is said that Superintendent Strong
never drinks any liquor.

ROBBING BLUE RIVER.
Thousands of Fish Being Taken from the

thousands of Fish Being Taken from the
Kansas Stream Contrary to Law.
WEsTMoRELAND, Kan, June 12.-It is
reported that fish are being taken I'M
lawfully at Winkler's mill dam. Some
have been seining, some have nsed dip
nets and others have been taking them
with gait hooks, which is contrary to law
and should be looked after by the proper
person 1t is a shame the way the fish
have been slaughtered this spring at this
place.
No large fish have been caught but
thousands upon thousands have been
caught and taken away from five to
eight inches long. Men have been seen
carrying home strings of these little fish
of 100 or more and follow it up day after
day, and there are from twenty to fifty
persons fishing there every day.
At this rate, 1t won't be long until the
catfish in the Blue river will have fol-
lowed the buffalo and prairie chickens.

The French are making serious objec-
ton to the quality of American lard
which is shipped over there. saying it is
not fit for dogs. Everything they say
about it is doubtless true, as tons of just
such stuff as they describe are shipped
to this city from the Kansas City packing
houses, and sold to the people.

IT will be difficult for the Kansas tax
payers to see where they are to be bene-
fitted by the expenditure of thousands of
dollars for the investigation of Populist
officials, if no one is punished and the
money which these officials are said to
have squandered is not to be covered.
It was hard enough on the taxpayers to
have their money wasted without paying
as much more for an explanation as to
how it was done.

A Minister'S Strong Words.

The Rev. Irl r. Hicks in Word and
Works in discussing the condition of
the United States Treasury says:
We have asked leading bankers
what they thought of the gold farce
that is being played upon the
United States Treasury - farce
upon the treasury, but Tragedy
upon the toiling millions and
all agree that it is athe biggest
bunko game ever played in the worlds
history" And yet, the power and
united wisdom Of this government is
unable to cope with the little band of
international shylocks, thieves and
scoundrels who are deliberatele play
ing this game-bdh! The day is not
far off when all the secrets of this
damn able business will be laid bare,
and when a long-suffering, outraged
people will take to themselves. short
cuts and quick methods Of reckoning
with their oppressors. When that
day comes, our wise" and "conserva-
tive" legislators will declare that "the
revolutionary element" has brought
about the violence, disruption and
ruin. So be it. The awful disease
calls for "herolc treatment.

A Possible Solution.

Speaking Of the concentration of
wealth in the hands of few, The Bos
ton Herald says: @This liz not IL ma
tional problem: in fact:it is interna-
tonal in its character, and is one of
which men all over the world are EN-.
deavoring to solve. So far as wo can
see, the best way to plac e limits would
be to impose an inheritance tax of
sufficient magnitude to prevent the
perpetuation OF these estates that is
to adopt the Australian, or, better,
the New Zealand method of Il pro
gressive Inheritance tax, which would
fall with such severity upon those
who died possessed of estates worth
$4,000, 900 or 800, 000,0 900 that it would
go far toward eliminating them. It
is true, the tax i'll these Australasian
colonies does not, we believe, exceed
10 per cent. OF the sum total of the es-
tate. but then the colonists have not
had to contend with such enormous
fortunes. The principal that they
hold would justify imposing a tax of
quite 30 per cent. if not more, on
fortune such as that which Mr.. Gould
recently left to his family. This may
be drastic remedy, but it is clearly
one toward which the minds of men
are now turning, as it seems to us.

there is in it possible solution of the

A Fatal Accident.

The Silver State says that William
Case. aged about forty years, met
with a fatal accident Friday afternoon
while engaged in loading cattle for
shipment at the railroad company's
corrals above town. He and num-
Der of others were driving cattle INTO
the cars, when COW got her foot
caught in crack in the chute. Ef.
forts were made to extricate the foot,
but without avail. Finally Case got
Ratchet and stopped down to chop
away Il piece of timber which held
the cows hoof, when the animal gave
lunge forward and one of her horns
entered his right eye, tearing the eye
from its socket and penetrating the
skull. The poor fellow was at once
removed to the Eagle drugstore and
DIR. Hanson dressed the wound and
did all i'll his power to alleviate the
unfortunate mans sutferings. Case
died Saturday morning.

FEARS FOR HER SAFETY,
The Schooner Twilight Long
Overdue From Willapa
Harbor.
Fears Expressed for the Vessels
Safety-Off for Alaska.
Notes.

The schooner Twilight is twenty days
out for this port from Willapa harbor, and
her agents fear that she is lost. The aver
age run from Willapa is eight days, and at
this time of year the Twilight should have
been heard from long ago. Quite fleet of
vessels left in company with the missing
schooner, and all have arrived or have
been accounted for. Not word has been
heard of her since the day she sailed, and
the outlook for her safety is said to be
gloomy one.
The Twilight is an old-timer, and is very
well known on this coast. She is a vessel
of It's tons net, and was built at Port Lud-
low, Wash, in 1874. She is 1875 feet in
length, 30.2 feet beam and 9 feet in depth
of hold.
The steamer Oregon, which has been laid
up in Sausalito for several months, came
over yesterday and docked at the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company's
wharf. She will take the place of the
steamer Columbia, which is to be laid up
for repairs.
The schooner Louis sailed yesterday
morning for Nushigak, and she carried
away ninety-fiye Chinese and seventy
white men for the canneries of the Alaska
Packers Association.
The steamers Hattie Gage and Polar
Bear will come out of Oakland Greek to-
morrow and be towed to this side, where
they will be fitted out for Alaska. During
the fishing season they will act as tenders
for the salmon fleet.
The North Pacific Coast Company has
