IN this country, when a stranger walks up
20 you with his hand tugging away at the
butt of a revolver, it is considered good
manners to get the drop on him first and
ask questions afterward. Mr.. Finney says
he shall start for home as soon as able and
abandon his idea of killing the colonel.
That is very kind and sweet of him, and
on behalf of the community we return
thanks.
Our Paths DiverEe.
We are sorry to announce the fact that
Colonel Chiffon, who was among the first
dozen subscribers to The Kicker, has stop
ped his paper and is no longer our friend
and well wisher. The colonel is a man
who takes a newspaper for the sole pur-
pose of keeping posted on the murder rec
ord in the United States Neither politics,
poetry, story nor local news is of the
slightest interest to him. There has hardly
been week in all these years in which he
has not complained of us. On occasions
we have published as high as so murders,
but the colonel suspected that we left out
ten or a dozen. In order to satisfy him we
have published the particulars of fictitious
murders, and he has caused US more anxi-
ETY. than any hundred subscribers. Last
week he notified US that unless we could
get up list at least two columns long he
should stop his subscription. We hunted
through 400 exchanges and could only
make out a column and half. He called
yesterday and ordered his paper stopped,
and added that we seemed to be losing our
enterprise and ambition and could hope to
retain his friendship no longer. We are
sorry in a way to see the colonel go, and
yet it is a great relief to us to be rid of the
murder department being run for his spe-
cial benefit. We shall divide up the space
between agriculture and poetry, and have
no doubt the change will be welcomed by
Others. Even though the colonel is no
longer our friend, our exchange list is at
his service, and we will go as far as to
mark all the murders we happen to see
with red lead pencil. He will also find
our demijohn in its usual place, and we
shan't object to lending him our white
shirt occasionally when he is to act as
referee at dog fight. NJ. QUAD.

COUNTERFEIT INDIANS
Proposed by s. H. Downs for
the Fall Festival. 81
Says the Athletic Club Might
Introduce the Feature.
A Proposition for a Tournament on
Observation-Disclosures Features.

Mr.. S. H. Downs, of the Topeka seed
house, has an idea which he will propose
to the Athletic association in regard to
its part in the Fail Festival. He will
suggest that the association take up the
Indian dance feature, and further that
they organize what shall be known as
the Shawnee tribe. In the Festival pa
rades 100 or more members of the Topeka
Athletic association can dress as Shawnee
Indians and have wigwams on floats.
Following these the regular PottawatO-
mic Indians might follow and complete
the novel feature.
In speaking of it to a State Journal re-
porter he said:
THE Topeka Athletic association could
organize the Shawnee tribe. They could
study up the dress and habits of this par
ticular tribe and prepare costumes which
would be a good copy of those worn by the
early Shawnees. It would be a feature
for the young men They could dress up
in the bright coIors, put on lots of paint
and feathers and represent Indians in
great shape. Floats on which were In
dams and wigwams would add to it. I
am in favor of the T. A A. taking hold of
this Pottawatomie Indian dance feature.
The two would work together finely. I
want to see this festival a grander sue
cess than the one last year. 1 will do
all can for it, even if I have to dress up
as an Indian chief myself In New York
city they have an organization which is
known as a tribe which gives Indian
dances for public entertainments. And it
has become famous. Why couldn't such
a thing be gotten up in Topeka? or
course the Pottawatomie Indian dance is
a good thing. 1t would draw large
crowds from all around. But if the T.
A. A. would take up this feature of
Shawnee tribe and work it up, it would
make an appropriate celebration of the
naming of our county, and would perpet-
uate the memory of the Shawnee tribe
It would also increase the interest in the
real Indian dance"

How Expert Pastry Cooks Make
Fresh Strawberry Pie.
One of the most delicious of all pastpJ
is a pie of fresh strawberries. Line 3
deep tin pieplate with the incest pastry
you can prepare. Fill the pastry with
knocked rice and bake it in the oven
When the paste is done remove the ricei
it cam be soaked and used for boiling
or it may be kept on hand to bake IN
pastry. 1t simply serves to prevent tho
form of pastry from rising and getting
out of shape as it would if it were not
filed. Apple jelly is sometimes used
to fill the pie, and when the crust IS
baked its contents are scraped out. IeaV-
ing perhaps a quarter of an inch of Jelly
in the bottom. The apple jelly is some
times given the exact favor Of straw"
berries by mixing strawberry juice in
equal proportions with apple juice
when the Jelly is made. When the crust
is filed with jelly it makes a rather
more elaborate pie, but takes moFe
time.
In either case, as soon as the crust is
baked dredge a little sugar over it and
fill it with perfectly ripe, luscious straw
berries well sweetened. Heap sweet
ened and whipped cream thicl1ly over
it. It may also be covered with mer-
ingue made of the whites of three eggs
beaten to a stiff froth, four tablespoon
fuls of sugar and the juice of half
small lemon. Cover the berries careful
ly with the meringue, which is a nom
conductor of heat, and isolate the pie
plate holding the pie from the oven bot
tom by setting it on thick pine board,
and bake the meringue in this way in q
moderately hot oven for 20 minutes. If
the work of isolation has been properly
done the berries will not be heated, but
the meringue will have risen and will
be well done and only delicate brown.
Remove the pie to a cold plate and lett
become ice cold before serving tn.

ROAST 25 MONKS.
Bamboos Thrust Through the Men
Then Placed Over a Slow Fire.

Vancouver, B. c.. June 8.-Further
interviews with the officers of the
steamer Hupeh, now in port, Illicit the
fact that twenty-five Catholic monks
were roasted by the rebels in the Phil
ippine islands and not by Spanish
troops, as previously reported.
The information was furnished by a
prominent resident of Ilo-Ilo, in the
group of islands, and zorro borated by
a foreign consul. In consequence Of
cruelties practiced by the Spanish
troops on the rebels or those suspected
of being in sympathy with the rebel
cause, the rebels in revenge perpetrat-
ed acts of cruelty on the hapless monks
who came in their clutches.
The customary mode of roasting
sucking pigs in the island is by thrust
ing bamboo through the pig and then
fastening it to an iron and roasting it
over a slow fire. This was done to
the monks, the bamboo being thrust
through them while they were alive.
Previous to the voyage to this port
the Hupeh made a trip from Hong
Kong to uo-Ilo and it was just previous
to this voyage that the acts reported
occurred near Manila.

An Editors Mistake.
We went over to Lone Jack on business
the other day and arrived there just as
doctor was binding up the hurts received
by the editor of The Recorder in little
affair with fellow tOwnsman. There is
man in Lcue Jack who calls himself Terri
Bile Bill'' White, and he strenuOusly insists
that everybody give him his full name. He
will not take n letter from the postOf1ice
unless that Terrible is written in a bold
hand on the envelope, and this fact was
well known to The Recorder man. In the
hurry of going to press, however, he wrote
q short item in which MIR. White was men
toned as 7. Bill White. Two hours later
Terrible White walked in on him and de-
ming the editor around the Office until the
fame of life burned low in his lamp. No
arrests followed. In fact, the sympathies
of the people were with the man with the
handle to his name. Whenever a critter in
Giveadam Gulch gets the idea that he is
terrible, - ''blood red, - ''sure DEATH or
lawful, we never fail to give him his full
title. 1t pleases him and does no one else
any damage, and when his subscription
runs out he not only promptly renews, but
generally induces Slaughter House Tom or

out of its holster he had a bullet in his
shoulder and a second through his hand,
and was laid out. We were interviewing
him yesterday, and he had not yet recOv-
cred from his surprise, although his
wounds were doing nicely. He had plan
pop the colonel. He had Travelled dis
out a hundred times. To bump up against
his victim and be knocked out in breath
was a feature he hadn't provided for and
it will be three or four days yet before his
brain is clear on that subject Colonel Joe

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
American Works Association in Dem
yer Discuss Waterworks.


Denver, June S.-The seventeenth an
nuaI convention of the American Works
assOciat ton, assembled today, about $50 del
egates from the principal cities in more
than twenty states being in attendance
Welcoming addresses were delivered by
Governor Adams, Mayor McMurray and
others, to which President F. A W. Davis
of Indianapolis, responded. Many sub
jects, most of them technical in nature
will be discussed during the sessions
which will continue until Thursday even-
ing. Municipal ownership of waterworks
has occupied prominent place in infor-
NAL preliminary discussion among the
delegates, but it is not likely to come in
the convention.
The delegates from cities which own
their own plants seem to be believers in
this part of the doctrine of municipal re-
form, while delegates who represent pri-
vate ownership have plenty of argument
to adduce why a private firm can conduct
a system more cheaply than a munich
pality.
Ownership of waterworks,' said Presi-
dent Davis, lis by no means the most
important question before the public at
the present time. The important ques-
ton is how to obtain a pure and whole
some public supply. This subject is being
agitated by the Oldest and richest cities
of the land"
