Ghastly Trophies.

Hanging beneath the mantel in the pri-
vate Office in Magistrate Jerlnon's court
are ten pistols which have been the weap-
ons used in various murders for years back.
The pistols are of all makes, and range
from q single barrel woman's pistol to a
British bulldog. The most prominent
among them is a big funnel shaped weap-
on, containing seven barrels, which has a
history of killing five men. This was car
ried by a old city watchman before consoli-
dation. Magistrate Jermon Is proud of his
collection, which Is a present from the dis

A Settler of 1855 Proposes a Design for
TOpeka's Banner.
CEDAR POINT, Kan, Aug. 26, 1895.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
Though not a resident of Topeka, l
was there as early as April, 1855, and
resident of the town and vicinity for sew
eral years and have been a citizen of the
state from April -. 1855, to the present
time, and would like to join in the past
time of suggesting designs for your Guys
flag.
L would suggest that the regulation
blue and white stripes constitute two
thirds OF the length, that the field consti-
tuting the one-third next to the staff be
composed of a green prairie landscape
representing the site of the city in its
primitive condition in 1854 This field
surrounded by blue border in which is
set silver stars representing the numb
of states in the union. In one corner in
SIDE the border a representation of the
sod cabin built and occupied by the foun-
ders of the city, Holiday, Chase, GILES,
| Dickev and the others, which was the
| first human habitation on the origi-
nal site 1854 In another corner
/ at the corner of Fifth and Kansas avenue
which was the first permanent frame
| building built on the site and in which
! was printed the Kansas Freeman, the
first paper printed in Topeka 1S55). In
another corner the first stone building,
which was built by Loring Farnsworth,
and known as Constitution hall and in
| the fourth corner the fort with flagstaff
erected at the center of the crossing OF
/ Kansas avenue and Fifth street as a de
Tense against border ruffians 1S56) In
the center and occupying a liberal share
of the field the state house completed.
This design would represent the history
of Topeka from her earliest days and
and also the patriotism, valor and devo-
ton to country of her citizens.

PECK'S KIND HEART.
An Anecdote Illustrating the Great
Lawyers Disposition.
QUICK TO ANGER AND TO RELENT.

Hew He saved an TmDertinent Car
riage Driver from DascharGe-SOme-
thing About EaorOwetz.
Some good stories are told illustrating
the temperament and disposition of
signed his position as general solicitor to
the Santa Fe receivers. One of them is
as follows and is told by one of hia in
innate friends.
"Mr. Peck has had the most tryingspo-
sition imaginable. If he had been gov
ernor of Kansas he could not have had
his patience more often strained. So 1t
is not surprising that he should grow
somewhat irrita BILE and quick tempered
SIN spite of that fact Mr.. Peck is
man of generous impulses, and though
he may be quick to anger he is always
forgiving and ready to forget a real or
fancied injury, He never fails to notice
a slight or an instance when his en-
ployes tail to render him the service
which he thinks they should.
E'Not long ago in Chicago. the hack
man came to take Mr.. Peck to the train.
The man was employed by one of the
big transportation companies to which
Mr. Peck paid $50 to $75 every month

soundlY and told him that he would
have him discharged and calling his
stenographer he dictated letter to the
manager of the company requesting
that the negligent driver be discharged
"By the time Mr.. Peck boarded the
train his temper had somewhat cooled
and he fell to rejecting. Now, said
he, pay that company a large sum
every month and they will probably dis
charge the driver as requested. He is
a poor fellow and perhaps has family
to support. I wish l had not dictated
that letter, and calling his stenographer
he dictated a telegram to the agent,
with whom the letter had been left for
| delivery, requesting him not to deliver it.
/ Fearing that the telegram might go
amiss, at the next station he sent anoth-
| er telegram, this time to the manager of
the transportation line, asking him to
pay no attention to any letter he might
receive from him requesting the dis
! charge of driver. He was relieved whe
a station or two farther on be received a
telegram from the agent saying that the
letter had not yet been sent"

IT WAS AN EMERGENCY.
And the Policeman Was Allowed to Ride
a Bicycle on the Walk.

When the patrol wagon was going
over to North Topeka to the scene of the
killing Monday afternoon, it passed Off
Ger Pinkston at such a speed that he was
unable to catch it. He borrowed bicycle
and follow ed at full speed
When the end of the pavement was
reached on North Jackson street, the Off
Ger found that the roads were too muddy
to ride wheel. He hesitated for mo-
ment and looked at the smooth Brick
walk that led to the scene of the killing.
First he would look at the sidewalk,
then at the officers in the patrol wagon.
Pretty soon Sergeant Donovan waved
him on. and the officer jumped on his
wheel and was soon spinning along at a
breakneck speed on the sidewalk. Peo-
pie looked at him in an amazed way
But he made good time, and was on hand
to take care of the crowd that had COL
lected around the house in which Cru
ger lay dead

AUBURNDALEMAY SECEDE
A Fuss Between POtwin and Its Twin
Sister About Crossings.

Sister About Crossings.
Auburndale people are talking Of en-
ulating the example of Wichita and Sc
ceding. Only it is the municipality of
Potwin, rather than the state, they desire
to withdraw from. The trouble all
arises over the disposal of street and
highway funds.
Auburndale citizens say that the city
funds are all being expended in Pot
win Place proper in displacing good
plank crossings with stone while the
northern portion of Auburndale is left
without crossings.
The principal grievance seems to be
the lack of a plank crossing over The
Drive at the end of Laurel avenue. Citi-
zens say the school children who attend
the brick school house in Potwin and all
who travel to electric cara have to cross
this drive, and it is in a deplorable con-
ton, being near the creek and in low
ground and extremely muddy.
The complaint is made that the coun-
ell refuses to put in a crossing to accom-
modate the Auhurndale people.

Every Joint in His Body Racked
By Rheumatism.
in Constant Pain-A True story
OF Remarkable Cure.

William F. Maier, 19Park Place. Zanes-
vile, Ohio, writes: About year ago I
had TO quit work on account of rheuma-
tism. 1 had the disease in my hips, back
and arms, in fact, in every joint in my
body. The pain was intense, and I suffer
ed the most excruciating agony. My
doctor could not do anything for me, and
I tried every remedy that could be sug-
gested; none of them did me any good,
and finally my joints became stiffeued
and sore. At times | could not move my
right arm, and was in constant pain. l
procured a bottle of Munyon's Rheuma-
tism Cure, and within short while was
completely cured. 1 am free from stiff
ness and pain, and can cheerfully recon-
mend Munyon's Remedy as the best l
have ever known"
Munyon's rheumatism Cure acts al
most instantaneously, curing many OBJ
stinate cases in a few hours. 1t is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism in any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheuma.
tism cured in from one to five days. 1t
never fails to cure sharp, shooting pains
in the arms, legs, side, back or breast, or
soreness of any part of the body in from
one to three hours. It promptly cures
lameness, stiff and swollen joints, and all
pains in the hips and loins, chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, Iumbago or pain in
the back are speedily cured. It seldom
fails to give relief after one or two doses,
and almost invariably cures before one
bottle has beeu used.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy Company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 20
cents a bottle.

Tunnels

The Romans, VINO were great en-
gineers, excayated some remarkable
tunnels for aqueducts, but it has been
reserved to the moderns to use them
in road building. One Of the first
was that under the river Thames, at
London, commenced in 1925, finished
in 1913, and for while one OF the
worlds supposed wonders. 1t has
since been eclipsed by the Severn tun-
rel (also constructed under a river)
which is 4 miles long The most
noted railroad tunnels are: st. Goth
ard, 81 miles; Mount Gents, z miles
and the Hoosac. AZ. The railway
from Bologna to Pistoja, across the
Apprentices Qtaly) has forty-six tun-
nels in distance of sixty-two miles,
equaled only by the Black Forest rail-
way Germany, which has twenty
nine tunnels in fifteen miles, one of
which forms a complete letter 81.
The world now has eighty-six canal
tunnels, length &C miles; nine hun
dred and fifty-seven railway tunnels,
291 miles; eight sub-aqueous tunnels,
69miles; and thirty-seven aqueducts,
so miles. North America has one
hundred and fifteen railroad tunnels,
several of them engineering works of
great skill ahd cost-but though the
Burlington Route has none of them,
its attractions in the way OF equip
ment. speed, safety and scenery are
such that it is the favorite line with
hundreds of thousands of intelligent
