Hung by Bible Law

Courts often 90 a long ways to
find laws or precedents fitting case,
aud IN this regard Kansas certainly
holds the record. She once hung
two men upon law found in the
Bible, and there alone, says the Kan.
sas City Journal. These men were
Samuel Scott and Russell binds, and
they were executed in the vicinity of
Mound City by the men belonging
to the command of Colonel Jennison
and Colonel Montgomery, on Nov
ember -, 1860. They had been ac
cused of conveying a fugitive slave
back to his owner in Missouri for
the sake of a reward. A jury was
regularly impaneled and proof of
their guilt was easily secured, but
after celebrating awhile the Jury
demanded to know under what law
they were being prosecuted. Jenni
son and Montgomery put their heads
together and debated the question
for few moments, when Moutgon-
cry advanced to where the iurymen
were sitting and read to them the
sixteenth verse OF the twenty first
chapter of Exodus, as follows: sand
he that stealeth man and selleth
him, or il he be found in his hands,
he shall surely be put to death"
This was sufficient for the jury and
they at once found a verdict of guilty
and sentenced the men to be han ged.
In the State Historical Society is q
document the handwriting of Mont
gomery, purporting to be the record
Of this court, which recites that
Samuel Scott and Russell Kinds
were duly executed, after being
found guilty by jury of their peers.

REEDS TROUBLE NOT ENDED
Jerry Simpson Has a Few
Barbs Left for the Fat Car

Kansas City Times, 7th.
Congressman Jerry Simpson did
not resemble q Nlhilist yesterday
morning as he passed through Kan
sas City, although he had just come
from the capital of the nation, where
he has been burling bombs at the
czar. He will return to Washing
ton next Thursday. To q Times re-
porter who met him at tho depot he
said:
II want to get back soon to look
after Brother Reed. There 10 no
particular Legislation for tho house
to attend to, but feel the question
ton of the speakers autocracy is
one Of importance to tho people. I
regard Tom Reed 40 tho most dam
gsrous man who has appeared in
public life in tho history of tho
country. 1t has come to the pass
that no legislation can be had in
congress without his sanction. The
committee on rules controls the de
liberations of the house, and Speaker
Reed is the committee on rules. The
members are his creatures and they
do his bidding. The house, under
the tyrannical rule, has ceased to be
the popular branch of our national
legislature. 1t is no longer a repre-
sentative body. In my protests
against the speakers autocratic
methods I have endeavored not be
captious about small matters. 1
have struck at him only on what 1
regard as vital points. And I shall
follow up my fight.
When asked about the tariff bill,
Mr.. Simpson said:
"The senate will not complete it
before the middle Of August. The
house will pass it practically as it
comes back, for the republicans are
anxious to have it disposed OF. The
senate will make many reductions,
but you will find that all tho sched
tiles in which the trusts are interest
ed will be satisfactory to them. All
the big items will remain with high
duties attached. Where there are
great corporate interests conflicting
with the people, the senate will take
care that the trusts are not molested.
The Psttigrew amendment, author.
izing the courts to place on the free
l,st all articles controlled by trusts
will be killed. It would be . death
blow to trusts, aud they will not
permit its passage.
I find that in the east they are
beginning to feel what we, q newer
country, where we have no accumu.
lation of grass to draw upon, have
suffered. I heard much calamity
talk in Chicago, and not long ago
when in Philadelphia, I found that
business was depressed and merch-
ants were groaning. Look at John
Wanamaker's recent speech. That
is strong evidence that prosperity
is going backwards, even in the east.
And the silver sentiment is spread.
ing there. Men who thought the
gold standard would bring good
times are finding out their mistake.
In the west the silver men must
hold together. 1t is folly for men
who practically think alike on vital
issues to divide in the face of a COM
mon enemy. I am sure we will carry
the next congressional elections. ii
We could have an election this fall
We would sweep the country"
Mr. Simpson will make speech

cessively passed over by the party, and
then the archean was reached just be
low Pringle. From this place on to
the summit of Harvey the road was
over the schists and GRANTEES of this,
the Oldest formation of which we have
any knowledge. The camp at Sylvan
lake was reached at 6:30, and supper
was Don preparing. The young ladies
of the party were very kind this first
evening, and we're exceedingly helpful
in the first scene of the cooking act,
but when the boys discovered that the
fair amateurs were slicing potatoes in
a pan that had been brought along for
toilet purposes they, (the boys) drew
the line, and from this time to the end
of the trip the cooking was done by
them while the dish washing was given
to the girls. Though some snow had
fallen during the night the party
started for the Peak early Thursday
morning, studying the structure of the
needles on the way. From the sum-
nit of Harvey the observer may look
out over all the geological formations
to the tertiary away to the southeast
in the bad lands of White river. We
doubt if there is another place on the
face of the earth where this a be
done. AS one stands on the grim rocks
of Harvey, and looks out over the
peaceful hills, gulches and valleys, he
can hardly realize that this region was
once the scene of a mighty conflict be
tween the forces of nature. Though
reason may give him some idea of the
cause, as he studies the effect in the
folded and eroded strata, still he has
but a dim conception of the great
changes that have taken place here
since the rocks of the archean age
we're formed. Here one finds the
schists and GRANTEES that have endured
the vicissitudes of life of over q score
of millions of years in length. So old
in fact that one cannot appreciate their
age when expressed in our measure of
time, yet we know not that these arc
the Oldest rocks after all. The entire
trip was made without accident to any
thing except compilations, and as these
are to be had of all druggists there is
no cause for briny tears of regret. Tho
only sad feature of the three days was
the minister of the party to upset all
the theories of mathematics. which he
could have done had she been willing
by making two one. However, the vic
tim may console himself by remember
