BATTLE CRY OF KANSAS.

Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
Let's secede. Let's tear loose from
the plutocracy and arrogance and
brains and respectability of the cor
rupt and unsympathetic east. Let's
gather to ourselves here in Kansas all
our jewels:and founce out Of the SIS
terhood of states. Let's take our duh
rags and quit civilization and annex
ourselves to barbarism. Let's abol-
ish interest, make property a felon,
punish work with a sentence of en-
forced silence, make thinking penal
offence, enact brains into buttermilk,
paint over sad astra per aspera" with
blue mud, and in its place inscribe in
letters Of soothing goose grease,
.'sVive la Lease; hurrah for hi"
What's the use Of being bound up
with communities that are chained to
superstitions about what they call
honestly Weof Kansas want to pull
verize the money power; we want to
pay our mortgages in silver, tin,
sheet-iron, pot-metal, asbestos, papiel
mache wampum. The pent up Utica
and Schenectady and other plutocrat,
ic centers contract our powers. With
these communities constantly treadine
on the ruf1es Of her garments, Kansa.
is handicap ped.
Therefore, let US secede. What

The snow storms seem to be rath-1
er fayorite subject for correspondents.
I shall therefore not say more in re-
gard to snow storms, but tell some
thing about the Literary Entertain
ment" given by the students of Con-
cordia college, from which entertain
ment we have just returned. The
entertainment in general was good
and interesting, though we believe
that certain parts of the program
should have been omitted, consider
ing the fact that the entertainment
was given by one Of Moorhead's s lead
ing schools. The piano solos and the
singing were we'll delivered, and es-
pecially the singing by the quartette
won the applause Of the public. The
recitation by Mr.. Simonson, ''The
Steam-chair," was rendered in a
plausible manner, showing considera-
bile talent and little or no affectation
on the part of the reciter. The farce,
"a Suit of Libel" was simply sue
cess. Especially did the gentlemen
playing the parts of sheriff and Judge
distinguish themselves. The read
ings of some pieces were, as stated
before, Of a too light and humoristic
character for an entertainment of this
kind. They were all except the sketch
of Gen. Hales uniting the occasion.
But the public, we believe, left we'll
satisfied with the evenings entertain
ment. --,>. i.
One issue Of the SHEAF speaks SO
much Of wedding bells that one might
infer Warren people believe marriages
are unusual outside Of Marshall coun-
ty. But SO is not the case, for here
the other day a couple were married,
at which occasion their friends, as a
token Of their appreciation Of the act,
presented them with wedding gifts to
the amount of about $3, 900. Anything
like that in Marshall county? II
would pay any young man Or old man
to marry at that rate Of percentage. L

Christmas and everything else be-
longing to the old year are now things
of the past, and a good deal of the
new year has also passed out of. our
hands into eternity since my last con-
tribution was found in our newsy and
highly interesting SHEAr. All our
actions of year '96 are now simply rec
objections, but if we wish, we may
profit in the future by these very ex-
periences, for, as one of my friends
always used to say, yesterday is the
teacher of tomorrow ..s..
The blizzard of New Years, al
though SO fierce and terrible, is also
thing of the past, it's remembrance
only made sadder by the fact that
three respected citizens of. Clay coun-
ty perished in that binding snow
storm. The blizzard of yesterday,
though perhaps as windy as the last
one, is not connected with any such
tragedy. Beginning at about 9 o'clock
a. m. with wind blowing at the rate
ofabout forty miles an hour, it lasted
until about s O'Clock p. M, when it
gradually quieted down to a perfect
calm. No trains were blockaded or
delayed as far as we know now; only.

FOREIGN.

Dispatches say that England and Italy
have refused to consent to the perpetual
ton of the sultan's reign in Crete, ex-
cept as merely nominal suzarain, and
that Christian prince will reign over
the island, Greece thus accomplishing
the prime object of her occupation of
the island-the emancipation of the
Christians from Moslem oppression.
Mr.. Gladstone, notwithstanding his
great age, has joined the ranks of the
London bicyclists.
The leaders of the insurgent forces on
the island of Crete have unanimously
declared that only two issues are pos
sible-the annexation of the island of
Crete to Greece or fighting until death
ends the struggle for the union.
Greek soldiers drove the Turks from
the town of Malaxa, on the island of
Crete, and blew up the fort, and efforts
of European war ships to drive the in
surgents from their position failed.
1t was announced that the British adj
miral in Cretan waters has been noti-
fed not to send any war ships of Great
Britain to take part in the proposed
blockade of the ports of Greece. 4>

PASSING MUTILATED COIN.
New Law Makes it a Criminal Ofense
and Provides Penalties.

and Provides Penalties.
Washington, March 27.-Letters by
the bushel have been pouring in on the
treasury department asking for infor-
nation concerning the new law in relar
ton to the passing of mutilated coin,
although those seeking the information
might, in a. majority of cases, have Sc
cured it from the United States district
attorneys or secret service officers of
their respective localities. In brief 1t
may be explained that the law is in the
main an extension of that against coun-
terfeiting. 1t provides that the pass
ing of mutilated or defaced coins, or
the mutilation and DETACHMENT Of coin
for any purpose shall be held to be
criminal offense, punishable by impris-
onment for a period of one to five years
and fine Of $500 to $4,000. Under this
law the practice of presenting ladies
with coins of gold or silver, with the
initials of the donor engraved thereon,
to be worn as bangles, is a criminal of
Tense. The law also drives out of bust
ness a number of people who have made
a good living by purchasing mutilated
coins at reduction from their face
value and plugging up the holes so skill
fully that the original mutilation could
not be discovered. Even this kind of
tampering with the money of the gov
eminent will be regarded as an offense
under the statute.

MANY WITHDRAWALS.
Railway Companies Draw Out of tho
Traffic Association.

Railway Companies Draw Out of tho
Traffic Association.
Chicago, March 26.-Several with
drawals from railroad traffic associa-
lions came to the headquarters in this
city Thursday, or were made known at
the general Offices of the companies.
The Chicago & Northwestern's lawyers
advised severance of official ties with
other roads, and the notice to this effect
was received at the offices of the West
ern Freight association. The Missouri
Pacific, Kansas City, Fort Scott & Men,
phis, and the St. Louis e. San Francisco
also sent notices of withdrawal.
Chicago, March 27.-Friday legal rep
in conference called to discuss the
supreme courts decision against
the Trans-Missouri Freight asso-
citation, declares that the deci-
sion outlawed such associations
as the Western Freight association, and
the result of the conference will be that
such roads as have not already with
drawn from the organization will forth
with send notice to that effect.
ne CHlcdSo, ROCK lSldnQ O racine
and the Sioux City 81 Northern, the lat
ter road running between Minneapolis
and O'Neill, Neb., sent notices of with
drawal Friday from all traffic associa-
tions. The Western Freight associa-
ton has practically ceased to exist,
many employees have already been dis
charged for lack of work to do, and
those of high grade are seeking posi-
tons elsewhere. Most of the Off
Gals have contracts which run to 1898,
including Commissioner Midgley, who
is now in the Holy Land on a sick leave
of absence.
Milwaukee, March 27.-It was said
on change Friday that the first of the
expected breaks in through freight
rates as result of the peculiar position
in which all railroads find themselves
without the binding influences of asso-
Citations has come. It was currently
reported that one of the all-rail lines
had given certain Milwaukee shippers
an 1S-cent rate, all rail, to New York on
malt, which would be a cut of two cents
per 100 pounds, and the same rate as the
differential across the lake.

A BATTLE IN CRETE.

Cretans Capture Malaxa Ambassa-
doris Say Turkish Rule Must End.
Canea, March 26.-The artillery of the
insurgents surrounding the town of
Malaxa, having rendered that place un-
tenable to the Turkish troops compris-
ing the Malaxa garrison, the latter be-
gan a retreat to Suda bay Wednesday
evening. They were pursued by the in
surgents, who kept up heavy fire
upon the Turks, inflicting heavy loss
upon them in killed and wounded, I'M
til the Turkish war ships opened fire
upon the insurgents, causing them to
retire to the interior. But for the time
ly assistance of the war ships the Turks
would have been well-nigh annihilated.
The attempt to revictual the garrison
at Malaxa, which was made at night,
was as disastrous to the Turks as was
the effort they made during the day.
The detachment of troops carrying
supply of provisions was met by a
strong force of insurgents and COM
PEELED to retreat with considerable
loss.
The firing in the vicinity of Malaxa
continued throughout Thursday. 1t
was especially desperate at three
o'clock in the afternoon in the village
of Tsicalaria, where the insurgents set
fire to a number of Turkish houses. The
insurgents are now occupying Malaxa.
The European war ships shelled them
Thursday afternoon, the fire lasting ten
minutes. The insurgents, however,
held their ground close to the ruins of
the block house, from which they
Grove the Turkish garrison, and did not
seem to greatly mind the bombardment.
Canea, March Eft is ascertained
that in the fighting which took place
between the Turkish garrison and the
insurgents at Malaxa, the Turks lost 60
men and the insurgents 200.
Constantinople, March Eft is as
serted here, on what is regarded as
reliable authority, that in consequence
of the refusal of Lord Salisbury to join
in a blockade of Greek ports Germany
has given notice to the powers of her in
tention to withdraw from the concert.
1t is understood that Turkey sent her
uuC hd1 ouuCllCS Ou
the advice of Germany.
London, March ETA dispatch to the
Daily News from Rome says that the
powers have decided not to consult
Greece on the details of autonomy for
Crete. Instructions have been sent to
the admirals giving them full power to
extend the blockade to Greek ports if
they deem it necessary.
Constantinople, March 27.-The am
bassadors of the powers have held a
meeting to consider dispatch from
the foreign admirals in Cretan waters
stating that it is daily becoming more
evident that continuance of Turkish
authority in Crete is impossible and
recommending that European gov
ernor general be appointed and that the
Turkish troops be withdrawn.

the queens Jubilee.

New York, March pr. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:
Rarely have markets sustained such
surprise as they have received of late
with so little loss. Foreign conditions and
London alarms, the collapse Of the iron
ore combination, the destructive floods in
the Mississippi valley and the decision of
the supreme court against railway asso-
Citations have been used to the utmost,
but not even in railroad stocks has the
result been important. With confidence
that better times and larger business are
coming men are less disposed every day
to throw away good investments, and
the very fact that prices of products are
now low is regarded as a guarantee against
much further decline. In all industries.
also, the number of mills and shops and
hands at work gradually increases.
Failures for the week have been POI in
the United States, against 259 last year,
and so in Canada, against 80 last year."

Princeton, N. j., March 24.-The tea
given in honor of ex-President and Mrs.

tons held in Princeton in some
time. The faculty of the university
was fully represented, as well as the
leading families in town. The attend
ance was very large, nearly 300 per-
sons enjoying the hospitality of DR.. Pat

tunity to welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve-
land to Princeton.

winner of the grand handicap which
was decided at Elkwood Park Thursday
morning. Marshall made clean score

money is $500. This is insignificant,
however, compared to the honor of win
ming the greatest shooting match in the
history of the sport.

the people living in towns adjacent to
