WORLD OF TROUBLE
And it Is all Due to the Old Mans
.sMopiu."

An old and fat colored couple and \
boy were in spring wagon, and driving
on First street Sunday, when the old
man gave jerk of the lines and struck
the pony a sharp cut with the whip.
The animal was on the ice in shaded
part of the street. and the sudden attacA
of the old man caused il 10 spring. slip
and fall fiat, breaking the shafts OF the
wagon. The pony, in its struggles 20
get up. upset the vehicle and spilled the
occupants out heels over head. They
were all greatly excited and considerably
bruised. The old man scrambled up and
tried to get the pony on its feet; the boy
jumped up and raised a most piercing
wall. and old "auntie." when she had
regained her feet and adjusted her toy
gerry. proceeded to give her husband the
most spectacular tongue-lashing ever
heard in that quarter. Her casugation
and his interjections ran something Ike
this:

CHURCH PEOPLE WANT HIN IN
At Eureka the Congregationaiists Demand
That a .Joiutlst be Kent In Jail

Word from Eureka is to the effect that
the perennial trouble incident to the sale
OF liquor in Kansas has dubbed over in
that city. 1t appears that prominent
mine host" of that city was convicted of
slipping the frothy beer and fire whisky
over his counter. He was jailed. He is
large man, Weighing over three hun
dred pounds, and although this is a
considerable start for man who is be-
ginning to waste away, still he is vast
ing away, and a part of the community
responding 10 the demands of sympa-
thetic natures have petitioned the coun-
ty commissioners to let him out without
delay. One of the prisoners little boys
has circulated the petition, and his ap-
peal has Won great number of sigma
lures But the churches have taken a
hand and last Sunday every minister
asked the congregation of his church to
vote on whether the man should remain
in jail or be let out. The congregations
almost unanimously voted to let him
STAY In.

in the city yesterday while enroute 10

informed an Eagle reporter that ne had
the misfortune 10 be snow-bound at

fell TO the depth of fourteen inches on
a level, and drifted so badly that travel
and traffic were suspended on the En-
glewood branch OF the Santa Fe road.
There were no reports OF cattle freezing
as the snow was a moist fall and the
temperature was not low. Residents of

Walter Forresters Letter.

FRANKFORT, Dec. Ill the next
Legislature will investigate the sub
iect. they will find that there are many
sane people committed TO the asylums
for the insane. The root OF the evil Is
in the custom of circuit judges in allow
ing doctors To come into court and
swear that the subject of the lunacy in
quest Is In such a condition that he or
she can not be brought into court. Not
very long ago, in Louisville. IA woman
was adjudged lunatic and ordered sent
to Lakeland, doctor swearing that
her condition was such that she could
not be produced in court.
The lady at that very moment was
visiting friends, and the first notice she
had OF the proceedings in court was
when she read OF the case In the court
columns of the next mornings paper.
She at once got lawyer, had the case
re-opened and convinced jury that
she had more sense than her persecu-
tors aud OF course went free. some
DOuS ouRut w haN' pN'h 0'"N W
peni,eutiary for that.
Superintendent Gosiee, OF the Lake
land Asylum, recently told me OF a case
In his institution where "A perfectly
sane young lady was committed on per-
iured testimony The young lady APP
pearcd 10 be sane. but DR.. Goslee kept
her for few weeks. Then her sister
who had Just heard OF her incarcera-
ton, but was not sure If II was her Sis
ter. called TO investigate. IL was her
sister, aud the record showed that she
was adjudgcd insane without the jury :
having seen her, on an affidavit OF some
doctor that she could not be brought
into court on account OF her condition.
IL was further testified by somebody
that she had previously been in an in
sane asylum. The sister promptly de-
nounced this as "a lie and upon invesu.
CATION it was found that the unfortu-
nate young lady had quarreled with her
brother-in-law, who elected her from
his house. She threatened 10 have him
arrested for assault and battery, and he
had her committed as luuatic. That
is the way the law is abused.
II the Legislature will do away with
the devices on the ballot, and fix IL so
that ignorant Negroes and white men,
aud all a. Il. As will be shut from
voting; take the control Of the prisons
and prison con tracts from the incompe-
tent officials; and provide against the
Illegal commitment OF sane people as
lunatics, 1t will have put the State on
the highway To civilization. And In
this connection, let me suggest that IL
be made felony 10 be amember OF any
secret proscrip,ive order. That will
stop the A. T.. A.-knownothing busi-
ness In short order.
/ merely suggest these as specimens
OF what bills the Legislature ought 10
pass. II they want more work, | will
be glad To give them more suggestions.
These are purely voluntary on my part:
have not been asked TO run the bust
ness. but IL l. always pleasant To tell
other people how To attend TO their own
business. WALTER FORESTER.
