INTO SUNDAY SCHOOL.
A Young Drunkard Nearly
Breaks Up Walnut Grove
School.

Paul Shirk staggered into the Wal
nut Grove NJ. E. church yesterday aft
ernoon during the Sunday school serv-
ice, cursing and using profane Ian
guage. The children We're greatly
frightened on his arrival and panic
was narrowly averted. Young Sh1rk,
who is 10 years OF age, started 1Or the
primary room.
Geo. NJ Hammel, the tailor, who il
superintendent of the Sunday school.
ran to the door of the primary room
Hammel stood in the doorway and said
to the drunken man: Paul, you can't
come in here in the condition you are
in. Get on out of the church, now.
Get out Mr.. Hammel then began
pushing him toward the door. The lat
ter gave utterance to more profanity,
and when near the door of the church
wheeled about suddenly and struck Mr..
Hammel Squarely on the forehead with
his fist The blow was vicious one
and was a complete surprise to the
Sunday school superintendent, VINO dld
not strike back, however. Shirk then
went away from the church and friends
of his hurried him away to barn to
conceal him. The police were notified
Shirk in a haymow and took MIN to
the police station. When searched the
Young man had several stones in his
pockets. When locked behind the bars
he yelled: ''I'il get that blankety
blank yet. I don't care if I do go to
the penitentiary for it. I'm blankety
bull-headed when take notion, and
I'll lay for that fellow some time and
get him. That's what I'll do"
This morning in police court Mr..
Hammel and Police Matron Thorpe told
what the young man had done. Judge
Atchison fined him $25 and afterward
said: He ought to have been fined
more"
Young Shirk has been arrested sew
eral times for being drunk and on each
occasion he has interrupted meetings
at the Walnut Grove NJ. E. church. His
parents are respected people.
Mr.. Hammel, in speaking of it, said
today: Il had no idea he would strike
me He hit me a terrible blow just
above the eyes and I had to put on
medicine last night to reduce the swell
ing Last Sunday night and the Sun
day before Paul Shirk came to the
church drunk and we had to make
complaint to the police. He always
goes to the church when he gets drunk.
After he hit me yesterday 1 called to
one of the big boys to go and telephone
for the patrol wagon, but he was afraid
to do il. We have done everything we
could to help Paul Shirk, but he won't
do right. His father and mother are
nice people, and it is shame for boy
TO act that way"

INJUNCTION An OUTRAGE.
Ex- Governor Altgeld's Opinion of
Judge Jackson's Ruling.

Chicago,Aug. 9.-'What do you think
of Judge Jacksons injunction against
Eugene V. Debs in West Virginia." ex-
Gov. John P. Altgeld was asked to-
day.
Its an Internal outraged" exclaim-
ed the ex-governor. "Fhe trainers of all
constitutions and the trainers of all
free or republican governments have
regarded certain rights pertaining to
the individual as the most sacred
known to man and have always named
them in advance of the rights of
property.
Freedom of thought, freedom of
speech, freedom of action, so long as
not interfering with the rights of 9TH
ers; the right to peaceably assemble
and discuss their grievances in an or
derby manner, freedom of the highway
these and kindred matters have been
regarded as lying at the basis of our
civilization. Any infringement of these
rights has been considered as one of
the greatest crimes that could be COM
mitted
guaranteed by the constitution, yet
within the last Is years we have on a
number of occasions seen them brushed
aside with a mere wave of the hand.
We have seen the rights of property
not only placed above the rights of the
Individual, but We have seen the most
sacred rights of the individual made
subject to the whim, caprice or dicta-
ton of interruptions men handling
concentrated capital We have re-
peatedly seen the courts of justice made
side door conveniences for corporations
to use clubs with which to pound
their employees into submission.
THE corporations have made it their
business whenever possible to put men
on the bench whom they can control.
When a judge uses his power to tram
pie upon the rights of individuals in or
der that he may assist the agent of a
great corporation, he strikes a blow at
republican Institutions He forcibly
destroys the foundations of liberty.
1T was proper for Judge Jackson to
protect the property of the Cleveland
and New York Gas and Coal company,
owned by Carnegie. Rockefeller and
others, but when he made his court a
convenience for these men he went too
far, and when he held that the laboring
people had no right to march in the
highway, even if they behaved them
selves, and had no right to assemble
and peaceably DISCUSS their grievances
he committed one of the greatest
crimes that can be committed against
free institutions.
Had he murdered 100 men he might
ultimately have been executed. The
law would have been indicated and
the world would have gone on. But this
act is far reaching in its consequences,
and if it is not rebuked by an indig-
nant people, other creatures of corpora
lions will follow the precedent, and
it will not be long until our own insti-
tutions must undergo complete
change.

THE COMING OF LORNA
LORNA Will be the Hottest
Thing That Ever Happened
In the Hot Time in the Old
Town.
An Oriental Dream of Magnificence
to Surround the Mysterious
Royal Visitor.

LORNA. the mysterious Kween of the
Karnival, will come to Topeka this year
on a train from the east early in the
evening of Carnival night. She will be
heavily yelled and will be whirled away
in a closed carriage and will not be
seen again until the procession moves
along Kansas avenue, when she Will be
revealed in her peerless beauty mount
ed on her golden throne, floating on
pillows of red fire, smiling benignantly
on her loyal Sir Knights. She will be
robed in sheen of gold and Will wear
ropes of diamonds about her neck val
ued at 800, 000-mOre or less. Her arms
will be encircled by a score or more of
tiara that the Maharajah of Swat
couldn't reproduce, and, as last year,
her golden hair will be hanging down
her back" She will have host of
sa able slaves to fan her with immense
peacock feather fans. There will be
several captive African kings (from
TenneSSeetown), with large klondike
gold rings in their noses, bearing silver
slaves to keep the populace at a re-
Spectful distance. These guards will
wear no other clothing but scarlet
satin trunks slashed with purple velvet
and brass anklets. No Oriental spec
tacle in all it's barbaric splendor will
equal Lorina's royal progress.
That is the way to do 1T, and 5000
Topeka young men are wanted to help.
The young men should not let any
other display beat the -'get-up' of their
presiding queen. While the burlesque
living pictures which will form the
main part of the procession do not re-
quire a great amount of money spent
on them, the float that bears LORNA
ought to be "out of sight" 1t ought
TO dim the luster of every other display
during the festival The guards and
retinue surrounding it should number
at least a hundred.
LORNA and her surroundings should
be got up to make a sensa ton.

will remember

STRUCK A GRAVEYARD.
Graders Exhume 10 Skeletons in Ne
braska.

company at work near here exhumed
10 skeletons. All the bodies were in a
good state of preservation, and all were
evidently buried with their clothes on
and without collins. Five were fe-
males. The bodies had probably been
in the ground Is or 20 years, but no
resident of the locality can recall any
burying ground being located here, nor
does rumOr relate of anything in the
past that will account for the presence
of the skeletons. The bodies were COW
cred with only a few feet of earth and
were placed together in a large trench.
Apparently the skeletons are those OF
white people.
