FRESH MEAT OF ALL KINDS

Went to Lawrence to G. A. r. Camp
fire Which Was q Magic LANTERN
Show.
There seems to be joke on the Mo-
doc club, though the club denies it; as
any rightly constituted club would.
Recently Mr.. Holman of the club re-
ceived an invitation to go to Lawrence to
attend G. A. r. entertainment and sing.
Their expenses would be paid, the letter
said, and further asked that the club
give it's lowest G. A. r. rate for that sort
of an entertainment.
MIR. Holman and the rest of the "boys"
saw a good time ahead with the old sold
iers and said they would be there, quot
ing rate very much less than the club
charges for other kind of entertain
ments.
They were to be there yesterday to sing
afternoon and evening, so thirty of the
members quit business early to catch the
afternoon trains to Lawrence

"But human greed is not yet dead;
consciously or unconsciously, we are to-
day taking part in that century old
conflict between human greed that
would enslave the race, and liberty that
would emancipate it. Eternal vigil
ance now as in the days of colonial
struggle, is the price of liberty. That
human greed that seated on the Brit
ish throne watched the peoples strug-
gies on foreign shore and sought to
levy taxes as soon as there was anything
to tax; that human greed sought to en-
slave their fellow man because God had
given him a dusky cheek; that hid its
gold in the hour of a nations danger,
that it might speculate in the blood of
those who were periodically shot; that
human greed still lives. 1t may never
come again with branding iron or lash or
auction block on which to sell slaves to
the highest bidder. But it is in the form
the subtle and concentrated wealth
which seeks TO make the Golden Rule
subservient to the golden calf. 1t is here
in the form of federated cliques and mo-
nopolies, that taking possession of ma
lures gifts ana bounties, rob men of their
God given heritage. Greater forces for
evil and social calamity than history ever
knew are mastering their forces in
HEAVIER born conflict against world old
wrong"

From 1t.
IT WAS THE FIRST

WICHITA, Jan 10.-The lecture "Christ
or Cesar" delivered by Mrs. Mary E
Lease at the Auditorium was the first
this gifted Wichita woman ever delivered
in this city. The building, which holds
$500. was packed, the audience being
largely the best people in the city.
Mrs. Lease was introduced by Rev. Dr.
Winters, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. The proceeds of the lecture
were devoted to local charity.
The speaker was at her best and fully
met the heightened expectations of the
great audience, that earnestly appIauded
the gifted orator, whose fame has crossed
the ocean.
She Was dressed simply,yet eleg antly, in
jet trimmed black crepon, wearing a
bunch of scarlet carnations and smilax
The following were some of Mrs.
Leases most striking remarks:
''It must be borne in upon all whose
grasp is strong enough to feel the throb-
bing pulse of the times, that we stand at
the beginning of one of those periods
which mark another step of progress, in
the history of the race. We stand at the
beginning of a period of reformation
and readjuslment. The problems that
confront US are incomparably vast and
difficult, because through apathy, ignor-
ance. and prejudice men refuse to
displace 'Ehat is for what
might be- This is the history
of the race. Every truth, every
new development comes into its APP
pointed place only through friction and
opposition. Every upward step in til g
progress of the race has been over
thorny path. Each new advancement is

AN UGLY WOUND.
Mathew Tighe Fell go Feet in Els Sleep

When the coal beavers, who were to

morning, they found man lying in a
heap OF coal dust on the floor beneath a

wound In his head, and although PARTIAL
iy unconscious groaning loudly and ap-
parently in great pain.
The coal beavers at once telephoned
to the police station and the patrol wag-
on hurried down to the wharf. The
man, who turned out to be Matthew
T1ghe, who formerly resided in this city,
was taken to the station where the city
physician, DR.. Pudor, was called to at
tend him. 1t is supposed that Tighe, who
was badly Intoxicated last night, went
into the coal shed for shelter and in
some manner climbed up the staging
and went to sleep. Some time during
the night Tighe must have rolled off the
staging and fallen to the floor beneath.
distance of nearly 20 feet. 1t Is q
wonder that the mans neck was not
broken by the fall, and it probably
would have been had his fall not been
broken by striking on beam some dis
tanoe below the staging.
When his head struck the beam DIR.
Pudor thinks that o nail or spike
caught into the flesh just below the right
ear and tore a semi-circular cash aoros
his face, through the middle of his fore
head and across his head. The entire
flap of the wound from ths middle of the
head around to the right ear hung over
below the mans ohm, exposing the
skull. The circumference Of the wound
was over IA inches.
1t was one Of the most ugly wounds a
physician ever had to face. Tho entire
wound was filed with coal dust and DR..
Pudor removed over handful of this
material from 1t when be came to repair
the injury.
Tighe was carried TO the Greeley hos
pital and there the wound was dressed.
After an hours work Dr.. Pudor finally
put the scalp back into it's place and
took 81 stitches in the cash. The d octor
says the fellow has about an even chan ca
for his life. He has no relatives in this
