group of buildings. He told the his
tory of every rod OF ground along the
Kaw to Topeka. He dilated eloquent
ly, and at length, upon the coal mines
in Usage county, and he pointed with
pride to the varied of his
state. Every prospect was pleasing to
Colonel Hucks, as he rode home that
beautiful day, and his wife was more
radiantly happy than she had been for
many years.
AS the train pulled into the little
town Of Willow Greek that afternoon,
the colonel craned his head at the car
window to catch the first glimpse of the
big, red s%tandpipe, and of the big stone
schoolhouse on the hill. When the
whistle blew for the station, the colonel
said:
"What is it that fool Riley Teller says
about 'Grigsby's Station, where we
used to be SO happy and so pore?'"
AS the colonel and his wife passed
out of the town into the quiet country,
where the shadows were growing long
and black, and where the gentle blue
haze was hanging over the distant hills
that undulated the horizon, a silence
fell upon the two hearts. Each mind
sped back over a life time to the even
ing when they had turned out of the
main road in which they were travel.
ing. A dog barking in the meadow
behind the hedge did not startle them
from their reveries. The restless cat
tie wandering down the hillside toward
the bars, made a natural complement
to the picture which they loved.
cit is almost sunset, father" said
the wife. as she put her hand on her
husbands arm.
Her touch and the voice in which she
had spoken frightened some cord at his
throat. The colonel could only repeat,
as he avoided her gaze:
eyes, almost sunset, mother; almost
sunset"
1t has been a long day, William,
but you have been good to me. Has
it been a happy day for you father?"
The colonel turned his head away.
He was afraid to trust himself to
speech. He clucked to the horses and
drove down the lane. AS they came
into the yard, the colonel put an arm
about his wife and pressed his cheek
against her face. Then he said
drolly:
NOW, lOOKle at tnat dOg, come
tearin' up here like he lever saw white
folks b fore"
And so Colonel William Hucks
brought his wife back 10 Kansas.
Here their youth is woven into the
very soil they love; here every tree
around their home has its sacred his
tory; here every sky above them re-
calls some day of trial and hope.
Here in the cleaning tonight stands
an old man, bent and grizzled. His
eyes are dimmed with tears, which he
would not acknowledge for the world,
and he is dreaming strange dreams,
while he listens to a little cracked
voice in the kitchen half humming
and half singing:

An Example Of Impure Air.

A large jar or stone pot smaller at the
top than the bottom, or covered so as to
leave only a small opening, may have a
rubber tube dropped into it, through
which the experimenter may expel his
breath for some seconds. After continu-
ing this for a short time, a lighted taper
may be carefully lowered into the Jar.
The flame will begin to waver and die
down, and will shortly expire, finding
not sufficient vitality in the air to sup
port it. When one compares the size of
the stone pot with that Of the ordinary
room, and realizes that exhaled breath
Is insufficient to support the flame of a
candle, it is not difficult to understand
why children and delicate people pine
away and die Oh account of impure at

HISTORY OF TROUBLE.
Fight Conferred Around ]. c. Root
Founder of the Order.

Fight Conferred Around J. c. Root,
Founder of the Order.
The great fight, prolonged for so long,
to remove the headquarters Of the Modern
Woodmen of America from Fulton, ILL.,,
to other points, has very intimate bear
ing on Omaha, since that city is now the
home of one j. G. Root, who established
that order and started the long fight by
making an effort to have the records of
the organization removed to Omaha.
1t was in 1870 that the Modern Wood
men Of America was organized under the
laws of Illinois. The charter expressly
stipulated that the headquarters should
be located in the State of Illinois. As
Fulton was the home of Root, he selected
that place as the headquarters of the or
ganizatiOn.
1t was in 1890, eleven years later, that
the idea of change entered Roots head.
Omaha was on the boom and he selected
that place as the future home of his COM
pany, when ne suddenly discovered that
the people Of Fulton proposed to have u
word to say about the matter. When Root
attempted to remove the records from the
town he was interrupted by an injunc-
ton.
The case was determined in favor of
Fulton. Root appealed and the Supreme
Court confirmed the decision. This fight
had provoked much bitterness in the or
ganization and there were many who were
not satisfied to have Root at the head Of
the order, which was essentially an Hi
nois institution and which he was anX-
ious to remove to some other State.
Then n personal fight was started on
Root to GUST him as sovereign commando !:
or supreme head Of the Modern WOodmen.
The matter went through all the Sta .e
courts and Root was finally defeated.
He Mt once went to Omaha and startec
q rival order known as the Woodmen of
the World. In the past year he has hg.
some trouble with the Omaha contingent
of this order, and some of the members
seeded and formed a new order claiming
that Root had pecpetuated himself as SOW
ereign commander and was degenerating
it into one-man affair.
The fight to keep the headquarters a:
Fulton was not reopened until two year
ago, When, during the Milwaukee conven-
ton, the city of Rock Island, ILL.,, offered
to furnish the order a permanent building
Mt that place if the headquarters were
brought there. 1t was accepted and the
records ordered removed.

shot his wife Thursday night. Next

In charge of the officers. The woman
may possibly recover. Last April Daily
sent letter to Mayor Swift of Chicago
saying he wanted a woman Of mature
years as wife. The Mayor gave the mis-
sive to the newspapers as a literary curl
osity. As a result Daily received nearly
500 answers from women who wanted a
home. Out of the list Daily selected Mrs.
Hattie Newton, Chicago widow. Three
months ago they were married. Daily
was 20 years old, his bride 40. Their life
was unhappy. Daily became very jealous
when his wife returned to Chicago for
long visit. They quarreled bitterly and
finally separated. Daily gave his wife
three days to return to her allegiance as
his wife. She refused. He forced his
way into her bed chamber, and, pressing
his army musket against her heart, fired.
The woman seized the muzzle and push
ed it aside, but the charge penetrated her
right side. She staggered from the house
and fell bleeding OH the doorstep OF Luz
man tensions house, where she was
found. Daily was arrested, and before
taking the train he was allowed to enter
a saloon and drink several glasses OF
beer. At the bar he fell backward in
spasms. He had managed to slip strych-
nine into the beer unperceived and was
dead I'm few minutes

Mincrs-The Present Situation.
The week has seen no change In the
coal miners strike. The men who are
out still maintain their resoIute stand, and
declare That they will not go back until
their just demands are acceded to. The
women Of the Turtle Greek valley Of
Pennsylvania have Joined hands with the
, strikers. Their attention has been call
ed TO the fact that the injunction which
prevents the strikers from yenturing upon
the property OF the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal Company applies to men
only and that nothing in IL is said about
women. They have been urged to 60
where the men are unable to and add their
entreaties and prayers to those OF the
strikers in their efforts to have the men
who are yet at work lay down their tools.
The women will enter heart and soul into
the work and do all in their power to coax
the men out.
bomb was thrown into the camp of
the striking miners at Sandy Creek when
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company refused to pay the wages due its
men. A bitter fight will be made in the
courts by the United Mine Workers to
gain the money for the strikers. The
New York and Cleveland company has
individual contracts with all its men that
are binding and tight. One OF the pro-
visions is that in case the men quit work
voluntarily, against the wish of the COM
pany. they sacrifice all wages yet unpaid
in the hands of the company. This Dis
trict President Dolan of the Mine Work
crs, who will make the fight in the courts
for the men, considers grossly illegal and
will make n test Of the legality of the con-
tracts with the men rs early as possible.
lie says the company violated them in
two instances and that they have thereby
dissolved all binding obligations on the
men. The amount due the Sandy Creek
miners is their wages for the first two
weeks in July.
The miners are acting in peaceable
and orderly manner and although several
mass meetings have been held during thu
week no violence OF any kind has been
threatened.

A most desperate and bloody attempt to
escape from State prison In Charlestown,
Mass., took place in the rotunds Of the
institution Tuesday morning. Az re-
suit Herbert A. Willis, a prisoner serv-
ing life sentence for murder. and his
brother Everett Willis. nged Is, lie at the
point OF death. Officer Il. 8. Darling, IL
years old, who for Sorty-one years has
been ON the State prison force, is also at

and severe bruises, and his recovery 10
doubtful. Four other officers OF the State
prison, II, III. Witham, J. III. Townsend,
r. Il. Benjamin and j. l.. Abbott, are
suffering from various slight wounds. The
shooting was the result Of desperate at
tempt of Herbert A. Willis to escape from
prison, aided by his brother, who had been
admitted to visit him. The two despera-
does sought to hew the way to freedom
for the convict by shooting down every
man who could in any manner bar their
way. Only the GOODNESS of the prison
officers prevented the State prison from
becoming the scene of general massacre.
Herbert Willis was sent up Feb 13 last
to serve Il life sentence. He had been
convicted of murder in the second degree
at Taunton. He had terrorized the COM
munity in Plymouth County for months
before that time, riding around at night
on a bicycle and holding up defenseless
people wherever he met them. He finally
wound up his career by committing MUIR
der, his victim being Fred Strange. BIZ
