OLD REBEL YELL.
General Marmaduke, c. s. a, Tries
to Revive Dead Issues.

St. Louis, Nov. 27.-General Vincent
Marmaduke of Sweet Springs, Mo, who
was recently appointed by the eX-Con-
federate veterans of Missouri as chair
man of a committee to write an authen-
tic history of the part Missouri and
Missourians took in the civil war, has
issued a remarkable address.
It was addressed to the ex-COnfeder-
ates of Missouri. and said in part:
The honor and the glory of this
great struggle was with the south, and
southerners sought in justice to them
selves and their dead comrades to pre-
north and northern soldiers are in
Weighing against all manifestations Of
sectional feeling, they are erecting
monuments to their, successful leaders
and telling the story very much to
their credit and to our detriment.
The north had more than four sold
ierS to one in the south. It's armies
were reinforced and assisted by six
hundred ships of war, manned by $4,000
sailors. 1t had unlimited credit, which
meant an unlimited supply of money.
1t had factories to manufacture eve
rything needed to arm and equip-tO
supply and maintain its armies and
fleets. 1t had railways running in eve
ry direction for the transportation of
troops. It had intercourse with the
whole world and could draw recruits
for it's army and navy from the whole
advantages, or had them only to linn
tied extent, but notwithstanding all it's
advantages it took the north four years
to crush the south and then it did it by
a grinding process and without having
gained d single decisive victory

AIR SHIP THAT GOES.
Tecumseh Man Makes a Success
full Experiment Today.

The attention of man crossing
Eighth street on Kansas avenue about
1 o'clock today was attracted by an
object in the air, apparently about two
miles due east. It resembled a rectan-
gular box with a center projection and
was moving slowly toward the south.
The man stopped in the middle of the
street to gaze at the object, and two
men standing on the edge of the side
walk saw him and followed his ex-
ample.
Other passersby noticed the men and
stopped, and people left the stores and
offices near the corner, and took po-
sition in the middle of the street. Soon
large group of people were watching
the object from Kansas avenue.
What do you suppose it is?' asked
one man of another.
zone of those government kites, may
be" responded the other.
Bet it's an eagle" sung out a small
boy.
Looks like a small sized flying ma
chine" said a Santa Fe office clerk.
- 'rhaps it's that young Tecumseh
feller's air ship" said an elderly be-
whiskered individual with his trousers
tucked inside of his boots.
Perhaps the old man was from Te-
cumseh and knew, for he struck the
identity of the strange object at the
model built by Charles Haas, the
young Tecumseh farmer, and it was
on its first trial trip in the air. The
ship is II feet long, and like the first
one built by the young farmer, was
built after the model of a huge bird.
He brought it in from Tecumseh this
morning and put it up from a hill east
of town. A weight was attached to it
by means of a rope, and the ship soar
ed through the air until it's builder got
ready to take it down. It demOnStrat-
ed that the young farmer has solved

Haas will continue experimenting
with his model and expects to make
a trip into the air himself by means
of the ship at an early date.

he, you all know that we have nothing
to do with the question of enforcing
the prohibitory law. 1t is not for US to
say whether it is good law or a bad
law. All I can say to these officers is,
look to your oaths, gentlemen
Councilman Warner said that in cit
les where the joints are licensed that
the sidewalks are poorer, the cities are
in. worse shape financially and he saw
nothing that encouraged emulation on
the part of the Topeka council He
said that even from a financial stand
point he did not believe it would be
good policy for it would cost more to
collect the license than was received.
Councilman Nettels agreed with
Councilman Warner. He did not be-
1ieve in licensing crime.
Councilman Stephenson said that
there might be something in what
Chief Steele had said about attaching
the sanitary department to the police.
Police Commissioner Henderson had
a comparative statement showing that
the present administration of the police
affairs was being carried on with a
net saving of about $500 month to the
city. During the nine months they had
been in charge the net cost to the city
nine months of the Morrill, administra-
tion the cost was S14,2 The expenses
have been as great during this admin
istration but much more has been col
lected in fines.
The city council pondered over the
showing made by Chief Steele with ref
erence to the distribution of policemen
and thought that they could not ex-
pect that more than one man could be
spared. All their theories about cut
ting off a dozen men had vanished.
Councilman Morgan thought that it
was not necessary to keep a man at the
Rock Island depot. He thought the
company should do that as the Santa
Fe does.
While there was no action taken it is
hardly probable that an ordinance to
license the joints will be passed 1t
may be introduced but if it is it will be
defeated.
The council is still studying retrench-
ment but they are looking in other di-
rections to retrench.

SHERIFF'S BLOOD
Or More Food Demanded by
Prisoners in Indiana Jail.

Princeton, Ind, Nov. 27.-Nineteen
prisoners confined in the Gibson coun-
ty jail declared themselves in open re-
volt against Sheriff Murphy today.
For several days ugly threats have
been made by the prisoners, and the
sheriff has been warned. This morning
the men declared that they would have
more food or kill the sheriff. A posse
of deputies was placed outside the Jail
while Sheriff Murphy entered alone.
AS soon as he closed the door all the
prisoners, headed by John Boyer, a no
tOriOus criminal rushed upon him and
were about to carry out their threats,
when the posse rescued the sheriff. A
fierce fight then occurred between Bo-
ger and Murphy, and Boyer was beat
en- almost into insensibility and then
thrown into a cell. When the prison
ers saw their leader worsted they We're
suppressed without further trouble.
Boyer says he will kill Murphy.

THEATER RIOT.
Boston Lyric Co. Has Serious
Trouble at HenderSOn'S
Play house.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The audience at
the Great Northern Theater last night
narrowly missed being entertained by
a riot of stage hands, actors and act
resses, instead of the Bohemian Grip
which was the opera billed for the per-
formance The trouble was caused by
a strike of stage hands and electric
ians.
After delay of half an hour the
curtain rose with all the members of
the Boston Lyric Stock company in
opera costume, grouped about the
stage surrounding their manager. w.
A. Thompson, who appeared with top
coat, hat and stick. The striking en-
ployes gathered about the theater door
apparently ready for trouble.
Mr. Thompson in n bitter speech de-
nounced Manager David Henderson of
the Great Northern Theater, declaring
that he had treated the company most
shamefully," and announced that the
play could not go on. He called for
the strikers to come on the stage, and
they yelled back that the police had
been called in and would arrest them if
they made such a move. The audience
began to rush for the doors, fearing
serious trouble. but the opera cOmpa-
ny quieted fears by singing Aud

three for Manager Thompson
Mr.. Henderson, in an interview af-
ter the occurrence, declared that the
difficulty resulted from his cancella-
tion of the stock cOmpanys engage
ment. He charged the company with
incOmpetency and asserted that Mr..
Thompson had secured the engagement
by false representa- tiOns. He said that
the strike was the result of an attempt
of Mr.. Thompson to stir up trouble in
an effort to secure control of the thea

emphatically denied by the opera peO-
pie, who declared that financial diff
