Accidents at the Tann.ry.


On Saturday morning an accident or
rather two similar accidents, happened at
the Ebensburg tannery that might have
proved fatal, but luckily both terminated
| without serious injury
Two little girls of Mr. John Schott, were
playing on the second floor of the building
through which perpendicular shaft runs,
which revolveS al the rate of 90 revolu-
tions per minute. The shaft was covered
with grease and oil and when a gust of
wind blew the dress of Mamie the eldest.
who is about ten years old, against the
shaft, it stuck and in an instant she was
drawn up tightly against the shaft and
went whtrling around. The other child
was too young to give the alarm and there
was no person working on that floor. A
dog that had been with the children set up
Such furious barking that it alarmed Mr..
Allen, who was outside, and he haStened

On reaching the scene of the accident
he was unable to Go anything but had TO

him stop the engine. Bv this time the girl
had been on the shaft eight or nine min

hundred times. She was unconscious
when taken off but SoOn recovered. She is
badly bruised about the feet and legs but
no bones are broken and she is rapidly re-

scene of the accident when a gust of wind
blew her dress against the shaft and IN an
instant she was going through a similar
experience. She too escaped serious in

The shaft had been running for the past
ten years without any suspicion that dan

A STATE FAIR.

A proposition is pending in the legisla-
lure looking 10 an appropriation OF the
peoples money for the support of an an
nual state fair. The scheme is said TO
be of Topeka For several years, back
ed by the state board of agriculture and
assisted by the railways, attempts were
made to make the state fair at Topeka
pay out. They were fat failures as eX-
hibitions, in attendance and financially.
Under the present policy Of the state
the only fair which the people of the
northeast section of the state will either
patroniZe or attend is Kansas City,
Missouri, fair. A fair at Kansas City
will catch all the fair going people of
eastern Kansas as far west as Sallna
and EmpOria and as far south as Fort
Scott, will catch more of these people,
In fact, than any fair would held at To-
peka. Topeka is not a fair town. Peo-
pie do not 90 TO fairs to see pumpkins
and drink luke-warm water. Agricul-
tural expositions, so-called, have had
their day, and are, in refined French,
'pas-say." Any appropriation which the
legislature may make of the peoples
money for a fair a. Topeka will be just
so much money dumped into Topeka
pockets and into those of some ring.
The tendency Of the times seems to be
for carnivals, crickets, rackets and the
like, for friSking and frOlicing, rather
than for the stale information TO be
gained in a pumpkin show. There is
nothing left, in the line of a drawing
attraction, in the way of agricultural
and livestock fairs except the 'hosS-
trot" Take away the races and the
opportunity to bet on them and there
remains no use for either gate-keeperS
Or treasurers. County fairs no longer
pay directly and prove remuneratiye 10
the towns where they are held and to
the lucky owners of the fastest horses.
The premiums offered do not offset the
gate money required It's the gatemoney
demanded to pay for the horse races
which deter farmers from taking any
interest in fairs The average farmer
cannot afford TO pay gate money for
several days for his entire family. and
an agricultural fair without any farm
er in it is a contradiction. The legis-
lature would do well to keep its fingers
out OF the treasury so far as making
any appropriations for state fairs.

THE SELECTION OF GAGE.

The selection of Lyman J. Gage for
the United States treasury portfolio no
doubt proved a surprise. Mr.. Gage is
great banker. possibly a great finan-
cier but not politician. He has had
no experience in public life and can not
therefore be a statesman in the ordln-
Bry sense. The secretary of the treas
ury is for the average administration
of more importance than the secretary
Of state. More depends upon his aol-
ity, his experience in public affairs ana
his wisdom, either in time of peace or
war. Cleveland's administration incl
Ilentally afforded opportunities for his
secretary of state TO become a promln-
snt factor in the Venezuelan cOntroyer-
sy and the pending arbitration treaty
growing out of it. The Cuban difficult
ty may afford President Mckinley'S
secretary of state like or greater op-
oortunity for distinction. But the sec
retary of the treasury must deal with
the most far reaching problems which
touch every internal interest of the
country. The duties of a bank presl-
dent are necessarily very limited, those
Of the secretary of the treasury of the
widest possible scope. Craftsmanship
Of the most practical character is de
manded of him who stands at the head
not of the country's finances simply,
but who must control the monetary af-
fairs of the nation and conserve Its
EAST commercial interests as well.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1897-01-30

poses for which. they say, they paid
one million dollars. The business is
evidently a paying one. If without
robbing the Kansas farmers they have
made a million in addition to their
present plant and acreage, the business
beats minting. Their profits on a bushel
of corn and a bundle of hay would
make the eyes of the average farmer
bulge. AS for threatened moving, we
can't see why the Kansas City papers
should object to that horn Of the diem
ma as it would add just so much to the
taxable valuations of Missouri. The
stock yards trust has sent delegation
to Topeka 10 invite the Pop committees
of the house and senate down to inves-
tigate That settles it in all probabili-
ty. The Kansas City papers in this
connection enlighten waiting public
with the announcement that the commit
tees were entertained with great salts
faction. At what cost is not stated, but
the poor shipper viii learn later on.
With corn selling at Is cents per bushel
the stock yards crowd charge the Kan
sas shipper S1.00, and with hay selling
everywhere in this region at from 81
to So per ton the stock yards charge $50.
Still, however, of course, it would be, as
the Kansas City papers say, a great
outrage for the legislature of this state
to legally choke off such highway rob-
berry.

FAR REACHING BILL.

Numerous legislative notions have ma
terialized into measures introduced into
the legislature by Pops with brains of
socialistic trend. Fairchild of King
man may yet become the acknowledged
prophet of paternalsm. At any rate he
is the author of one of the most unique
bills ever headed by an enacting clause.
The bill creates or evolves far-reach-
ing and sweeping insurance scheme and
involves much else. 1t does not seem
impractical. An insurance tax will be
levied upon all improvements, the pay
ment Of which will be optional with the
owner of the property. If he desires to
take advantage of paying the tax, his
buildings will become insured by the
state and in case of loss will receive
from the state the full amount at which
the property destroyed is assessed. The
state administration is the general man.
ager of this Insurance company and the
state treasurer becomes its treasurer.
The various county treasurerS collect
the insurance tax and certify to the
claim in case Of loss. Mr.. Fairchilds
thinks the operation Of the bill would
tend to raise the assessed valuation of
such property in Kansas and because Of
this would become a great benefit to
the state in other ways.
