THE UPR1s ING IN INDIA.

Tt is becoming more apparent, as ad-
ditional information reaches the world,
that the troubles which led to the re-
cent outbreak in Calcutta are deep seat
ed and widespread. The attempt of the
Indian government officials and the
government at London to pass the matter
over lightly, will scarcely deceive any
body.
The seeds of revolution were sown in
India when the minis were closed to sill
yer. They are just beginning to Eprout
and unless prompt and effectual meas
ures are adopted to uproot them there
is certain to be a harvest before long,
which will give Great Britain all she
wants to handle.
That England has some appreciation
of the situation is evidenced by the fact
that the reopening of the minis has re
ceived a large amount of consideration
recently.
1t is the history of the world that
when the money supply of a people is
curtai1ed TO a large extent, poverty, mis-
cry and suffering follow. These evils
are enhanced in proportion to the densi-
ty of population. In a thickly poPUlat-
ed country like India, with resources
so greatly disproportionate to the peo-
pies requirements. II does not take 50
long to drive the people to desperation
as it would in the western hemisphere.
That there is a crisis at hand in the
affairs of India there is little room for
doubt. Whether England will attempt
to settle it by force of arms or by rem
dering justice to the people of her east
ern empire remains to be seen.
If wrongs be righted promptly and
her currency system be re-esta blished
as it was the spectre of revolution may
be laid. If she refuse OF neglect to do
this and choose rather to use force then
she may have need of all her resources
before long.
A people impelled to revolution by OPP
preston and long series of wrongs is
not so easily overcome, as England
found to her cost a little more than a
hundred years ago. Spain is learning
the same lesson now.

CHER MAMMA~WAS DEAD"
This Was All Even the Elder of Two
Tiny Travellers for Weir City
Knew.

ST. Louis, July Anna Fulton, a
blue eyed girl of years, and her brother,
Claude, two years her junior, were a
couple of travellers who attracted atten-
ton at the union depot last evening. They
had come from Seattle, Wash, and were
going to Weir City, Kan.
They arrived without transportation,
money, baggage or provisions. If they
had any when they started they had lost
it. They had none when they were put
on the Burlington and Missouri River
train at Billings, Mont, and were carried
through to Kansas City by the conductors
from humane reasons and in response to
urgent requests of the passengers.
A man named Sebeer OF Spokane. found
them on the Northern Pacific train and
said they had transportation. He cared
for them until they got to Lincoln, Neb.,
where he put them in care of N. P. Lun-
deem of York, Neb., inspector of the Ma
tional Guard of Nebraska, who came
through to Kansas City. Their food was
purchased for them by kind-hearted pass
engers. They were fed at the depot last
evening and given transportation to Weir
City by the Memphis line and started to
their destination. They were well dressed
and both We're bright looking and pretty.

the little girl that a lady told her her
mamma was dead.

An application has been made for the
pardon of Timothy Hurley of Wyandotte
county, who is in the penitentiary. He
stole a gold watch from Adolph Carlson.
The petition says he was a model man I'M
til he had typhoid fever. After that he
took to drinking and neglected his family,
ending by turning highway robber.
Being an excellent and successful high
way robber, it is too bad that he should
be shut up in prison when he might be
out robbing people and making hon
est living. All people who have gold
watches are quite grief stricken that Tim
othy is still behind the bars while they
are rolling in gold watches.
1t is generally conceded that all persons
who have typhoid fever and afterward
take to drink and highway robbery should
be privileged persons. The idea of shut
ting them up for little thing like that!
You wouldn't mind it at all if a man
stopped you on a dark corner at night
and took your gold watch away from you,
if the man had had typhoid fever and
taken to drink. You would say it was all
right, wouldn't you; of course you would.
What want, what we need and must
have is more people who have had ty-
phoid fever and taken to drink and high
way robbery Perhaps that's one reason
why there is wave of prosperity. Let
us look to the board of pardons

THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY.
Sad Story and a True One From
Kansas Paper.


Last fall Mr.. Anthony Afford and his
little daughter. Thena, Their about years
old and living on a farm in Big Creek
township, in this county, were in Cha
mute.
The little girl saw one of the large
faxen haired dolls that were on exhibit
ton in the store windows and of course
she took a great fancy to it. She hadn'
the money to buy it, so she kept her
longing for the handsome doll to herself
but she saved up every penny she could
get during the winter months.
Two weeks ago she was taken very sick
and continued to grow worse in spite of
all that loving hands and fond hearts
could do for her.
A few hours before death came, which
was Wednesday, she called her father to
the bedside and said to him:
Papa, you know when we were in Cha
mute last fall there were some big, pretty
ever so much, a doll with blue eyes and
curly hair. Oh, it was SO handsome!
have saved my money all winter and I've
got 70 cents. Now, papa, won't you put
cents more to it and give me that pretty
doll? 1 want it put in my arms when I'm
in my coffin. Won't you, papa?"
The poor, broken hearted father and
mother could say nothing, but their tears
rained down over little Thena.
In her arms as she is laid away in the
valley where the birds will come to sing
above her little grave, reposes the idol OF
the heart broken parents and the haxen'
haired and blue-eyed doll.

BUNKOED BY THE BABIES.
When Yale Students are Presented
With Bills They Flash Grim
inal Statute in the Faces
of Merchants.

New Haven, Conn. July 1.-THE mer-
chants of the city who have been giving
credit to the freshmen of Yale are in
sore straits This week the bills flowed
in and the youngsters were taken aback
Suddenly a discovery was made, and now
the merchants are CONFRONTED with this
law, which many had forgotten:
Section 1852. Any person who shall
give credit to a minor student of any
college or university of this state, with
out written consent of his parents or
guardian, or of authorized officer of
such institution, shall be fined not less
than 500 nor more than $780,"
When creditors appeared with bills the
students read them this extract from the
statutes and laughed. The merchants
have made up their minds that it is
cheaper to let the youngsters off than to
face this penalty, but they say there will
be a frosty time for the babies who want
credit next term.

DOES FARMING PAY?
Inquiries Made by the State Labor
Bureau of Nebraska Show That
it Does Not

Lincoln, July IAN interesting expert
ment has been undertaken by the bureau
of labor of the state to discover if farm
ing pays in Nebraska and if not why not
and what legislation the farmers think
would improve their condition. Labor
Commissioner Kent has received 100 an
swers to questions sent out, which are:
Does farming pay?" and What legisla-
ton do you think necessary to relieve the
farmer?' Three blanks were sent to each
county in the state.
The tabulation of the commissioner
ing does not pay, twenty-one say it does,
four that it pays as well as anything else
and the others cannot say whether it
pays or not. Several of those who an
swered yes qualify by saying that ex-
elusive grain farming does not pay, but
carrying a side line of stock is profitable.
AS to what legislation they consider most
calculated to benefit the farmer, the an
swers are many and various. A number
are of the opinion that the enforcement of
antitrust laws designed to do away with
the holding up of prices of what the
farmer uses, would be very beneficial. The
restoration of bimetallism and the coin
age of silver at 16 to 1 is considered by
the majority to be one of the things
necessary; about 5 per cent are of the
opinion that lower freight rates are an
absolute necessity and that legislation on
these lines must be pushed. About 40 per
cent favor government ownership or con-
troll of railroads one thing needed. The
remainder want income tax and a duty
on all farm products.

REFERENDUM PARTY.
The Middle of the Readers Formally
Cut Loose From the Populist
Organization.

Nashville. July YESTERDAY after
Moons session of the Populist confer
ence was devoted to the discussion of
an address to the people, which was
adopted. The address is lengthy and
scores both Republican and Democratic
parties, declares against fusion, says
free silver will not bring relief until
trusts, combines and rings are abolish
ed, re-affirms the platform of the party,
especially as to the initiative and refer
endum, and calls upon all to join in the
contest it is waging.
A plan for re-organizing and building
up the party was adopted, the chief
points of which are:
The election by the conference of a
national organization committee to be
composed of three members from each
state here represented, said members TO
be selected by the several state delega-
tons. In states not represented at this
conference, the national organization
committee here created may at their
discretion, provide for proper represen-
tatiOn the committee. The election
by this conference of a chairman of the
national organization committee whose
duty it will be to push the work of or
gan1zation on strictly POpulist lines and
in the interest of Populist principles and
Populist candidates, to preside over all
meetings of the national organization
committee and to perform all other du-
ties incumbent upon such officer. The
cutive committee of five members whom
the chairman may nominate from the
members of the national organization
committee, whose duties shall consist in
assisting in the work of organization
and education and who S, IL cooperate
with the chairman in his efforts to pre-
serve and extend the organization of the
party. The election of a national sec
rotary and of a national treasurer.
The organization committee shall pro-
vide and apply for the re-arran gemen
of the committee here constituted by the
| initiative and referendum and we re-
commend that the first national conven-
ton of the Peoples Party shall adopt
/ the same as a governing law of the par
| ty in it's entire organization. The ma
tional organization of the Peoples Par
! ty chosen by this conference shall have
full power and authority to call a ma
tional convention of the party or to
submit any question to the voters of the
party on the referendum plan, whenever
they may determine that the best inter-
ests of the party require the same.
The organization committee in ac-
cordance with the terms of the plan was
appointed. Milton Park, Dallas, Texas {;
{ was selected chairman; w. S. Morgan,
! Arkansas, secretary; DR.. Grove, Ala
| bama treasurer; The following exc
! cutive committee was appointed: A. A.
