Strange as it may SEEM it is possible
for any person with an average pair
of lungs to blow through a brick
wall two feet in diameter. This eX-
perment has recently been made by
a prominent refrigerator company in
this country. to show that the ordi-
nary brick wall is easily penetrated
by wind. A full account is given of
this experiment and of the method
of performing the feat at small cost

A daring attempt was made here last
night to hold up the Southbound train
on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail-

miles south of here.
A short time before the train was due
the robbers, about eight in number,

compelled him to signal the train to
stop. He did so. The engineer in
charge of the locomotive was RagIand,
an old and trusted employe, who had
been held up several times before. He
proceeded to obey the signal, but when
his engine was within 100 yards of the
signal he noticed several men standing
near the tracks and at once suspected
their purpose. Opening the throttle.

YELLOW FEVER SUSPECT s
Twelve Cases in One Block in New
Orleans Being Watched.

New Orleans, Sept. 10.-The board of
health today specially announces that
there are II suspicious cases in one
block down town. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the cases would not have
been deemed suspicious, but two weeks
ago a refugee from Ocean Springs died
in that vicinity and since that time the
fever has spread there. None of the
patients have died, nor are any seri-
ously i'll. The board of experts have
been studying the cases several days,
but they have not been able to reach
a definite conclusion, and it was finally
decided to report the cases as suspi-
cious, in accordance with the boards
pledge to keep the public fully in its
confidence.
The board of health has placed guards
about the square and ordered a sanitary
inspection for five squares around.
These twelve cases are on one square
in a row of six small houses. In one
of these young lady from Ocean
Springs who was visiting family here

w. c. t. U. ON LYNCHING.
Miss Willard Thinks the Matter is
Becoming a Calamity

Chicago, Sept. 10-Miss Frances Will
lard, representing not only her personal
interest and opinion but that of the
society of which she is at the head, has
sent a communication to the anti-lynch-
ing convention in which she says:
Il see by the Associated Press dis
patches that you propose calling a con-
vention to consider the crime of lynch
ing, which, after a lull that gave US
hope, seems to be again becoming ram
pant This is a movement on your
part that will be most helpful in put
ting down what no patriot can fail to
regard as a calamity.
This subject will come up again at
the BIENNIAL meeting of the Worlds
w. G. T. u, in Toronto, and the Ma
tional w. G. T. u, in Buffalo, in Oc-
tober next and you will find that we
shall stand staunchly by the lover of
good order and even-handed justice to
all races.
Il am proud to say that our resolu-
tions on this subject have been carried
without dissent and you will remember
that almost without exception the
southern states as well as the northern
are represented by their chosen dele
gates in our convention. I rejoice that
the sin and folly of lynching is con-
Stantly more apparent to our people
and that the president of the United
States and the governor of states both
north and south have declared in their
official capacity that this crime must

corted from place to place by the famous
Larned band
This evening the members of the West
minister Presbyterian church will tender
a reception to the new pastor and his
family at the church, corner of Huntoon
and College avenue. Rev. A NJ Rey-
nolds was called to the pastorate a few
weeks ago. Members of other congrega-
tions in the city have been invited to the
reception.
People should bear in mind that the
Karnival knights bali on Carnival night
of the Fall Festival will be a most proper
place for any lady to attend. The invita-
tien list is under the supervision of
committee of which W. w. Webb is
chairman, and no one will be allowed at
the ball who would in any way cast a
shadow on the occasion. Some untfink-
ing persons started the report that the
ball to be place where ladies would
not want to attend, but this is absolutely
false.
Wednesday night the cinderella Cafe
kept open until after 1 o'clock to
serve the wooden mill dance party. Two
of the ladies who took part in the cafe
were returning to their homes in a
buggy and had stopped on West Sixth
street in front of one of the ladies' resi-
dences and were bidding each other
goodbye. A policeman suddenly darted
from out of the darkness and 'held up
the ladies. 1t was Patrolman Whitaker.
He was going to arrest them for being
out SO late when explanations were made.

NEW POLITICAL FORCE.
Platform of the Equal Opportunity
League Organized in This City.

The Equal Opportunity league of
America, recently conceived and organ
lied in this city, will be managed by the
following officers:
PreSident-A1bert Griffin.
Vice president-L. A. Stebbins.
Secretary-Hiram c. Root.
Treasurer-Samuel Parr.
w. r. Hazen and Alonzo Wardall,
with the officers, constitute the execu-
tive committee.
The platform upon which the organ
ization stands follows:
'FirSt-We hold that each and every
person, and each and every ma jOrity,
has equal rights, and that, as no person
can rightfully limit nor deprive another
person of natural rights and privileges,
so no majority can destroy nor restrict
the rights nor the powers of any other
ma jOrity.
''Second-While all persons haveequal
rights they do not possess equal wealth,
nor mental nor physical capacities, nor
are they equally conscientious, and,
therefore, they do not enjoy equal op-
portunities. But all just governments
aim to reduce this inequality as much
as natures laws permit, by aiming
those who are disposed to disregard the
rights of others, and we insist that, so
long as the interruptions accumulators
ofwealth they do not produce are pro-
tected by law from the greed and vio-
lence of those that would rob or aSsail
them, governments should be equally
CAREFUL to protect the poorer and less
capable classes from the crafty schemes
ana vicious neCnOuS OF the powerful
monopohsts that systema tical1y plunder
and otherwise OppresS them.
''Third-AS each and every person is
self-evidently entitled to an equal part
of all benefits resulting from the estab-
1ishment of governments, special privi-
legeS cannot be given to some without
taking them from others, and thus di-
minishing their opportunities; there
fore, governments have the right to
confer franchises and special privileges
only Gf a AID when-and because-and
so long as-the public receives its pro-
portionate share of the resulting bene-
fits
''Fourth-The national government
should, in some way, provide as much
real money (and no more) as may be
needed to carry on the business the
people desire to transact, and thus en-
able everyone to secure constant and
profita bic employment. No person, nor
corporation, should be permitted to
make money of any kind, nor any SUBJ
stitute that purports to be, or does the
work of money; and, as the first step
in the direction of monetary reform, we
demand the immediate remonetization
of silver, by the United States, at a
ratio not exceeding 16 to l.
'Fffth-It is the nature of tyranny to
become more and More oppressive un-
til endurance ceases to be a virtue, and
people rise in rebellion. AS Americans
are yet slaves, a revolution is inevita-
BILE in the near future. In order that it
may be consummated entirely through
the ballot-without preceding reign
The Topeka state journal., 1897-09-10

of terror'-we hold that the majority
ought to- quietly but firmly, exercise
it's inherent rights, and, when necessary
ignore all acts and commands of past
majorities that make political progress
impossible.
''Sixth-To the end that the people
may become so thoroughly educated in
the principles at issue between the mo-
nopolists and the producers of wealth
that when the latter secure control of
the government, they will know what
legislation will secure them Justice,
without disregarding the rights of mi
norities, we shall encourage the wide
circulation and careful study of the
best books and periodicals devoted to
economic and social subjects; shall
challenge our opponents to meet US in
Joint debate, and, if they dare not do
so, shall urge all fair minded persons
to listen to the able and candid speak
ers that will expouhd and defend the
cause of majority rule and equal op-
portunities.'
''SeVenth-In union there is strength.
Political reforms can be secured with
out violence only by union of their
advocates at the polls, and, as such
union is the one thing absolutely essenA
tial to success, we agree that, if, at any
time the supposed interests of our par
ty and those of governmental and
economic reform conflict, we will stand
together for our principles, and support
the same candidates-the plausible
pleas of beneficiaries or unjust special
privilege to the contrary notwfthstand-
ing"
