Organization to See That the Murder
ers OF Pearl Bryan Get Ju.tice.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia dispatch from
Greencastle, lid, says: The headless
body Of Pearl Bryan who was so brut-
ally murdered at Cincinnati, was
brought to Gresncastle Saturday night
and at once deposited in a vault. When
the news Of its arrival spread over the
city. hundreds of people went to the
cemetery Sunday and for several hours
there was a large crowd around the
door Of the vault, gazing at the casket
through the iron gratings of the door.
In the forenoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan.
father and mother Of the murdered
girl, and her sisters and brothers visited
the cemetery and entered the vault.
Mrs. Bryan was so overcome by the sad
spectacle of the headless trunk of her
daughter that she swooned in the
vault and the father was nearly over
come in a similar manner.
Organized For Vengeance.
While the relatives were in the vault,
there was a meeting of the young and
middle-aged men of the city, some dis.
lance away and it was said later that
some 20 or 80 of these pledged them
selves to each other to avenge the girls
death if the murderers We're not hanged
by the law.
The organization formed is said to be
regarded simply as the nucleus of a
larger one which will take the law
into its own hands if Jackson and
Walling escape the extreme penalty in
the Cincinnati courts.
Confessed n frutal Murder.
DULUTH, Feb. l1.-Joe Zoullard and
William Nerrill, two young fellows
who We're arrested a fortnight aga for
the murder of an old Frenchman
named Demars, have confessed that
they shot him while he was at work i'll

which they they secured and hid.

Kansas people are elated, and see the

months hope to arrange my plans
so as to be able to erect a large mill

kafflr Corn For Kansans.

"Wheat and corn may not be grown
after this in Kansas" said Rev. John
D. Woods Of Evanston, yesterday.
"The Kansas farmer will turn his
attention to the raising Of African
kaffir, and on that he will feed his
family and his cattle and through il
he will accumulate wealth and again
enjoy prosperity"
The rainmaker and the visionary
irrigationists have had their day in
Kansas, according to Mr.. Woods, who
has just returned to Evanston after a
three years. sojourn IN the SunAower
state. The Kansas farmer will no
longer pray for rain--the less Of it
the better. The hot winds will no
longer burn the crops, but they will
thrive on it, Neither sand nor alkali
nor grasshopper nor chinch bugs will
again be all powerful factors in the
annual computation, and everybody
will grow kaflir and eat kaffir and buy
and sell kaffir and Kansas will boom
as she never did before.
The dryest spot Of land In the whole
state will grow the biggest crop of
ksfir, and the rich bottom land will
grow kafir, too.
"But what ia kafir~ asked a good
Evanstonian, to whom the portly
Methodist clergyman was dilatlng on
the new source Of wealth.
"Kafir? Why kaffir is cereal Of
Africa which grows in the hottest and
dryest places, 1t will grow almost
anywhere where 1t is holland Kan
sas yields abundantly.
"A few years ago Jerry Simpson
shipped quantity of the seed 10 his
constituents, and they planted it and
fed it to their cattle. Two years ago
we experimental on making flour out
of 1t, with the hope that the product
might be used to advantage in making
bread, but We did not have the best of
success. The mills could not grind it
fine enough, 50 it was not altogether
good to eat. Somehow the old burr
process Of grinding failed, and many
thought our scheme for feeding hun.
CRY Kansas was a failure. The pro-
duct was good for the cattle, and
when the farmer could, raise nothing
else he raised kaffir.

CARVER ON PROHIBITION.

OANVEN YIN FNOllADllIOINs
Judge I. F. Carver is out in let
ter defining his position on prohibl-
ton and constitutional conventions.
He says:
II said it might be with high license
end local option there would be a more
satisfactory control OF the liquor traf-
fic In the larger cities; but I do not
wish TO be understood as in favor Of
a repeal of the prohibitory amend
ment, nor in favor, as yet, Of reaub-
mission Of that question. In my
opinion, the open saloon remains, as
1t always has been, the greatest moral
rnd political evil of the age. I have
no desire to see its return, under legal
sanction, to this state.
"At the same time I cannot shut my
eyes to the fact that there is q grow
ing sentiment in favor of resubmls-
sion, inspired by many in the hope
that thus the disturbing question
may, to some extent at least, be elimi-
mated from our biennial elect ions
For this, I believe the extreme pro-
hibitionists are largely responsible.
Among them has been an element
making constant war upon the repub-
licsn party because the law was not
more effectively enforced, This OPP
position has presented itself with
marked regularity in every state cleo.
ton, and come to the front with much
parade Of superior merit, even when
the republican platform pledged the
party TO the enforcement OF the law.
In my judgment, prohibition along
present lines will sooner or later be
pronounced a failure, unless its
friends give more attention to build
ing up sound public sentiment
against the liquor traffic and the
drink evil, and spend less force in
arrsying the friends Of temperance
against each other on political lines,
"The law can and will wonderfully
enforce and supplement public senh-
ment; but the future success of pro-
hibition rests upon the creation Of
moral principles strong enough to
lead in the reform which the law en-
phasizes, AT present, and for years
there has been nothing better than
spasmodic efforts to awaken the tenn
perance spirit of the people. State
administrations have been severely
denounced for failing to do what the
denouncers had made no serious at
tempt to accomplish in their respec-
tive communities. A nsrrowness of
views has led many to practically op-
pose those who were friends OF tenn
perance and Of temperance reform,
simply because they differed on meth
cd and details. II is not time for us
to understand and realize that the
mere law and politics cannot save
prohibition In Ksnsasf Time to see
that they cannot take the place of a
proper education, and that political
prescription does not strengthen the
prohibition cause7 The sympathetic
gospel OF temperance must precede,
or at least accompany, the threaten
ings of the law, else the latter will
fail. l am still an advocate Of prohl-
bition as t6e,only true solution Of the
liquor question, and hope that it's
triumph may not be postponed by a
mere dependence upon legal coercion.

l believe the new food is going to rev.
olutionIze cooking, Our only draw
back so far has been an inability to
get the flour ground fine enough for
pastry"
j. W. Heigh, who is here from
Wichita, Kan, to assist IN the new
food project, says it is his opinion
that within a few years kaffir will be
grown extensively all through the
west, but especially in western Kan
sas, Indian Territory, Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico. II have seem" be
said, some fine fields Of kafiir in wes-
tern Kansas, where practically moth
ing else would grow, The grain can
be scattered broadcast, and will
spring up like weeds, and nothing
seems to be able to choke it If proper
ly planted 100 bushels may be raised
to the acre, The plant resembles
sorghum in appearance, The stalks
grow from four to eight feet in
height, and the leaves are more plen-
tiful, and are also wider and longer,
than those Of corn. The grain itself
is slightly larger than q mustard
seed, and is round, hard and smooth,
The hull is very thin, and in grinding
there is little chaff., The weight of
the grain per bushel runs about sixty
pounds, the same as wheat, but a
bushel Of kafiir will make 10 per cent
more flour than a bushel OF wheat. In
this respect, and lin the number of
bushels per acre, the kafiir has great
advantage"

taken such an interest in the project,

stitute Of Evanston, and made that
suburb his home for number Of
years. During his absence he has
remained property holder there.

The Mail and Breeze, the official,
and needless to say a republican,
newspaper Of the state, has this to
say of our congressman.elect:
IN. B. Mccormick, who will repre-
sent the sixth district, has resided in
Kansas and in Phillips county TWEEN
ty-two years, a sufficient lenght OF
time to enable HIM to become
thoroughly acquainted with Kansas
and the wishes of Kansas people,
The early years Of his residence in
the state were passed on Phillips
county homestead. The majority OF
the people in northwest Kansas know
what homesteading IS, and that it is
a good schooling for any man. While
on the farm Mr.. Mccormick took up
the study of law. In 1890 he allied
himself with the Populists and was
elected county attorney and was cas-
lily reelected. In 1893 he was the
choice Of the county for district Judge
but the western portion of the district
favored Judge Geiger, and the latter
was nominated. Mccormick is so
years old and has soldier record that
is said to be all right. Mr.. McCor-
mick's district has been represented
for the past six years by William
Baker, also a Popullst"

Live Bats Found Deep In The Earth.

A nest of live bats were found 100
feet underground in Snowshoe Gulch,
near Cottage Grove, in Oregon, the
other day. This is considered most
remarkable discovery, and those who
have visited the place and seen the
animals are at loss to account for 1t.
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson
have been developing claim in the
gulch by running tunnel to reach the
vein. The tunnel runs obliquely, and
a few days ego. when depth of $50
feet had been reached, the rock began
to assume different condition. 1t
sounded loose, or hollow, in that par
ticular spot, and the partners knew
that they were nearing what in miners
parlance is called 80 change" -
Their "holes" were nearly loaded
when this discovery was made, but
they continued loading and then went
to the surface and touched off the /
charge. Upon their return they ex-
pected to find a vein uncovered, or at
least rock of different character from
that through which they were rum
ming.
But quite a different matter attract.
ed their attention wher they went
back to the end of the tunnel, and the
circumstance has been the wonder of
the entire country ever since. 1t has
created an immense amount OF discus
sion, scientific and otherwise, but no
certain explanation has yet been sd-
duced.
Instead of finding ore or any partic-
ular change in the rock they found
the tunnel full of bats. The cause of
the peculiar sound that indicated a
change of ground was a small cave,
and into this their last shot broke and
out of which came the bats. How the
bats got into the cave is the problem,
and what sustained them there9 The
point is about 100 feet below the sur
face, and there is apparently no opening
or means of ingress or exit. The bats
when caught and taken out to the day
light appeared to be without eyes and
able to fly but little way; IN fact.
their wings were but meagrely de-
veloped. The first thing that attract
ed the mems attention upon their re-
turn to the tunnel was the peculiar
odor, which. Notwithstanding the
amount of gas from the exploded pow
der, was quite perceptible and dis
agreeable.
The only solution OF the strange oc-
curance that has yet been offered lies
in the fact that the rock is OF meta
morphic and aqueous origion, and,
being in the Cascade Range, is of re"
cent occurrence. The rock is closely
bedded shale, and at the time OF the
geographical disturbance that put it
into its present position the bats had
their nest there and then became In
cased as they were found 1t would
seem, too, that the bats must he of
that nature that becomes dormant and
able to retain life without food. An
effort was made to save some of them
alive, but they rapidly succumbed to
the sunlight and fresh air. San Fran

"Did you bring letter for Capt. Fo,

meshes the yellow t1ash OF many gold
pieces could be seen.
IF any one made 1t worth my while
to do 30 and it wasn't against the law" !"
replied the man, his hungry eyes fas-
tened on the purse, which the Captain
was tossing from hand to hand, that
the fellow might get some idea OF it's
value. g.,
II wish you to give out-that is, to tell
every one that you also brought the
Captain Of the Wanderer a letter from
the Governor. Do you understandp"
as Captain Fox asked the question he
tossed the purse into the mans lap, Tor
he was sitting up in bed.
Il do, sir, replied the man, feeling the
purse, but I'm 'feerd the story being
false IL get me into trouble.
There is no danger Of that. Do this,
and I will give you as much more gold
,,assage to New York on my
ship. sail inside Of forty eight hours.
1t is joke I wish to play on Colonel
Graham, who is now on board the Wan
derer."
LA, sir, I see him at the Governors 8
in New York when I started. He over
took me at Hampstead.
@The same gentleman. Now, will you
do as say?"
why, sir, If 80 be it's only to help
along a bit Of joke, which all fine
gents do like sometimes to play on
each other, OF course I'll do it." -.
Thai his employer might get an idea
OF his eagerness to earn the money,
prospective and in possession, the mes
senger forgot his WEAKNESS, and, spring
ing out OF bed, began to dress.
Warning him to act in all seriousness,
and promising to see him on the NOR
row, Capt. Fox went away, confident
that he had scored another point in the
game he was so daringly playing.
That a man carrying out such hazard
Gus schemes should give y thought to
love, which is generally supposed to be
mans joyous way Of spending delight
full leisure, is not little strange. But
Capt. Fox was not an ordinary man. 1t
may have been his all-suf1cient conf
dence in himself or spirit OF sheer
recklessness that led him, with fixed
purpose in view. directly from the inn
to the residence of Doctor Hedges.
When he first met Lea Hedges he
simply thought that she was a hand
some, dashing' girl, who would serve to
make pleasant the time spent in this
out of-the-way harbor.
But after each meeting with the beau
tiful Lea he became more and more in
fatuated, until now he had to confess
that he was deeply IL love.
In view Of the strange career on
which this man had entered, and OF
which we shall learn more hereafter, 1t
is not little remarkable that he should
ever give thought to marriage. But
love Is the one impulse that proves that
men of the greatest reasoning powers
are, after sll, common flesh and blood,
and which places the intellect in abey-
ance to the emotions.
