the penalty for it was death.

Of the lantern I saw one man, crazy

from train.
sOn another train coming from Har-

next day read of a fellow falling from

torn off and both arms broken.
The Consolidated railroad officials do
not believe the stories current and say
they would not allow such acts if it
came to their knowledge, but admit
their trains are besieged ana robbed

The coroner says there has been q

he is suspicious that all may not have

real truth will ever come to light, re-

CLEYELAND BUYS 4 FARM.
The President Abandons the idea of a
European Tour.

New York, Oct. 12.-President C1eve-
land is not going abroad with his fam
lily at the expiration of his term on the
fourth day Of next March, after all. It
was the intention of the president to
make tour Of the world, but for many
reasons he has abandoned his original
idea and will spend next summer in
and about New York.
He has purchased about so acres Of
land at Hampstead, L. l., and in the
early spring q modest little cottage viii
be built there. The land adjoins that
Of ex-Secretary William c. Whitney
Domestic reasons will make it neces-
sary for Mrs. Cleveland to spend the
greater part of next summer in a quiet
manner. and therefore the president
decided to build snug little nest for
his wife and family among the exclus-
ives of Hampstead society Later in
the season the president will put in
some time in the quiet of the
Berkshire hills. BY that time the plans
outlined by w. c. Whitney for the fin
est summer home in America will have
been carried out The 1000 acres Of
land which he purchased and present
ed to his son, Henry Payne Whitney,
and the latter's bride, Gertrude Van
derbilt, on their wedding day, viii have
been thoroughly improved
It is said that when Mr. Whitney
made the purchase of his property in
the Berkshire hills a thousand acres Of
it was bought for the president, and
that later on it is his intention to have
erected there a magnificent summer
home for his family. Already it is
known that for at least a part Of next
summer this fastness of October noun
tain will be the home of President and
Mrs. Cleveland and their children, Mr..
and Mrs. W. C. W hitney and Mr.and Mrs.

REY.H.D. FISHER EXPLAINS
What He Has to Say About Prohibi-
ton and morrill,

To the Editor of The State Journal
Dear Sir: My attention has recent
ly been called to an article in your is
sue of the IL ult., Ga copy Of which I
procured last evening" headed: Roast
ing Rev. II. d. Fisher"
There are just two things in which
am interested in said article and which
/ wish to correct. First, all the Metho-
dist Episcopal church annual confer
ences of Kansas meet, not in the fall
never debut in the spring and al
most without an exception in the month
of March.
Second correction: I am made to say
in the article referred to, Il had hoped
never to live to see the day when Kan
sas would be damned with a governor
like Morrill,"
I have simply to say, that I am not
in the habit Of using such language in
private conversation, much less in
popular assem- blage. I never uttered
such sentence anywhere. Mr.. Bane
and Judge Vance, who are quoted as
speaking in the same vein, and others
know, did not use such words as are
attributed to me
However much men may differ upon
the methods of securing the enforce
ment of the prohibition law in Kansas,
in my judgment, we have today, law
and public sentiment enough to make
effective for the purpose for which the
constitution was amended-the laws
enacted-the decisions of all the
courts obtained and for which officers
are elected by the state in every part of
the state, if the proper officers viii re
spect the viii of the people Of Kansas,
and have due regard to the sOlemnity
and binding force of their oath of Office.
7 believe it to be unamerican for any
state to ignore the national laws and
equally so for county OF city or
township or precinct to ignore state
laws, and demand universal enforce
ment.
The platform upon which the present
state and county officers were elected,
and upon which Republican appointive
officers were appointed, declared we
are in favor of the enforcement of
law this in its broadest sense was
held to be an honest declaration in IA
vor of the enforcement of all law, but
in its first analysis it did mean, if it
meant anything, the honest enforce
ment of the prohibitory law, and this
was declared by the man who wrote
that plank in the platform, the only
law under consideration, as commit
tees of both friends and enemies Of the
prohibitory law were before the com
mittee on platform. Now I hold as a
life long and loyal Republican. that the
popular conscience of the state of Kan
sas is in favor Of the enforcement Of
the prohibitOry law, and we have
right to be consulted, and our votes
valued as highly as those whose 10y
atty rises no higher than the bung hole
in their whisky or beer barrel
