One OF the German Emperor's Boats


One boast the German Is never weary
OF making In regard to his government
as compared with that OF the United
States, namely, that the officials Of the
fatherland are distinguished, IL not for
enterprise, at least for honesty. In the
main this Is true. but there are excep-
lions. The late Chancellor Bismarck
had no sooner got his imperial machin-
cry In running order twenty-five years
ago than he introduced as part OF his
government one OF the most odlous fea-
lures OF Russia. namely. the secret polit-
teal police. He set aside large sums OF
money with which to pay informers,
spies and a class OF wretches, unknown
in America, called agents provocateurs.
The business OF these last gentlemen
was to organize disturbances among So
cialists. In order that the government
might have an excuse for making ar
rests OF such as the great prime minis-
ter was pleased TO call "enemies Of the
empire" or such as we would call enc
mics to the Bismarckian policy.

wheat. Mr.. Freeman declares that
there is no cause for such apprehen-
sion. He Travelled over the greater
portion of Palestine, Oxford, Avon,
and Valverde townships Thursday
and took particular notice of the
effects of the strong wind the day be-
fore.
He declares that sol far as he was able
determine the wind had no distress
sing effects upon the wheat whatever.
In some spots the wheat was SEEM
ingly damaged little, but upon close
inspection it was found to be in a
healthy condition. Wherever he ex-
amined the wheat he found the roots
firm and deeply imbedded in the soil.
The late sOWn wheat had obtained
root sufficient to protect it from the
winds and this no doubt accounts for
its fine condition after the blow of
Wednesday. The wheat that had
been SOwn early could stand several
such winds as the one the other day.
Most of it is up high enough to hide
rabbit, and it thoroughly protected
itself and the soil from the wind.
Mr.. Freeman thinks the crop OF '97
will be a record breaker, and he bases
hi, convictions upon the excellent
condition of the soil and the chronology
iCal theory of the state agricultural
bureau.

Pleasant Valley Coal Co. of Salt Lake
City, was held up near Castle Gate,
Utah, last Wednesday morning and
robbed of 81, 800 in cash.
Mr.. Carpenter left Salt Lake early
Wednesday morning for the mines of
the coal company, carrying money
with which to pay of the cOmpany'S
employees. When he reached Castle
Gate and was going over to the COM
pany's office, he was met by two
mounted men, heavily armed, who
held him up, relieved him of his cash,
and then rode off in the direction of
Helper. The men cut the telegraph
wires TO prevent a call for asSistan :e.
Within half an hour a posse made up
from Price and Helper, started in
pursuit of the robbers. The coal CON-
pany has offered reward of $1,000
for the capture of the robbers and
$1,000 for the return of the money.

Looking for Dead-Beats.

D. L. Burkett, a prominent grocer
OF Marion, KaS., was in the ci ty lasu
Thursday morning on the track
OF two men who beat him out of a
good sized bill of groceries last Satur.
day. .....
The men represented to him that
they were in need of groceries and
wanted an order filled for good sum,
saying that they would settle for
them when their checks arrived,
They were laborers and had been
working at Marion. The order was
filed and the men took the groceries
away. Instead of settling for the
goods when their checks arrived they
pulled out for the south. 1t was sur.
missed that their destination was in
Oklahoma, where they were to work
on the extension Of the Hutchinson
& Southern road between MedfOrd
and Dennison, Tex, when work TO-
ward that point begins.
Mr.. Burkett traced the men to thi,
county, but lost track of them. 1t il

day at the same time, but Burket
failed to run across them. The mel
travelled in spring wagon drawn b.

in the city some little time and wer,
on the street with their outfit. Tha
night they pulled out, going west
Burkett finally learned that they ha
been in the city and he traced then
out of town on the road running pas

were going to Argonia, and next morn
ing Burkett boarded the west boun
passenger in the hopes OF meetinl
them at that place. Nothing furthe
has been learned of them.

A huge GumbO Kiln.

A large force Of men are now en-
gagged in eXcaYating a huge gumbO
kiln just west of FerguSOn'S cattle
reservation on Slate creek, which when
completed, will be used TO burn gum
DO for ballaSting the Rock Island
tracks between Riverdale and Cald-
well. The kiln will eventually be half
mile in length, ard nearly 300 feet
10 width and from four to SIX feet in
depth. The force of wOrkmen have
been engaged in the excavations since
Monday.
Yesterday afternoon reporter for
the Journal drove out to the kiln
and learned something of the work
that is going on and how the gumbo
is going to be converted into ballast.
The gang of wOrkmen are under
charge of A. 0. Pringle of Furley,
Kan, and Charlie Welt of this city.
The six or eight-inCh layer of soil is
first taken off and thrown up for an
embankment. A trench four or five
feet wide and as deep is then made,
and a hot fire is started in the bottom
of the trench. Upon this fire is
thrown a fOur-irch layer of Stacked
coal. After the slack gets to burning
properly eightinChes of the exCavated
gumbO will be thrown upon it. In
the course of several weeks the fire
will burn through the first layer of
gumbo and another layer will be put
on until the ditch is filled.
Then another ditch will be dug
parallel to the first, and then another,
until the entire strip of land lying be.
tween the Rock Island and Santa Fe
tracks is converted into one huge
smOuldering gumbO kiln. When the
gumbO is burned sufficiently to make
1t non porous it will be taken out and
spread upon the railroad as ballast.
The burned gumbo is great deal like
cement. When it is spread upon the
ground and rained upon it hal denS
and packs closely: forming an excel
lent ballast.
A temporary track has been laid for
the purpose Of hauling material, etc,
to the kiln. Thousands of tons OF
slack coal will be used, and a large
force of wOrkmen will be employed
continually throughout the summer
They expect to have the kiln com
pleted within month or so, but the
fires will begin as soon as the first
half mile ditch is ready. The closer
they smother the fire with gumbo
the hotter thekiln will get. Nothin.
but thin evaporation from the sur
face Ct the soil will indicate the in
tense heat that is necessary to burr
the gumbo.-JOurnal, Friday.

son is simply advertising himself by
combating Thomas Reed. But in
this advertising dodge Jerry Simpson
is battling, in spite Of himself, for a
reform that a majority Of the people
of this government will endorse.
The speakers powers, not necessa-
rily Reeds powers, but the powers Of
that Office, have OutgrOwn in every
particular what was originally in
tended. The speaker is an absolute
car. Without his help member Of
congress amounts to no more than a
page. Without his nod no bill can
pass the house His power is equal to
that of the president, II not greater,
on all legislation. A two-thirdS vote
may pass bill over the presidents
veto. No vote can overcome the
speakers diSapproval.
No member of congress can secure
recognition from the speaker for the
motion for fnal passage until he has
pre-arranged his motion with the
speaker; until the speaker has read
the bill entirely through; is acquainted
with all its provisions and can see no
harm in it. If, however, he believes
the measure unsafe, he may, and does,
refuse to approve it or recognize the
member who desires to pass il.
This rule makes the member of
congress mere puppet. They do
not resist this and change the rules
because under the present system
legislation is slow and safe. Still,
the autOcrdtic rule Of the speaker is
wrong. His power has been extended
beyond all decent limit, and il should
either be curtailed or all other
members Of the house except the
the speaker called home on a va
cation.

Simpson Sustained.

Philadelphia Item, April 14th.
Mr.. Simpson is perfectly right, and
all true lovers of political freedom
may do well to encourage him in his
present stand in behalf OF nOn.depend-
ence.
As readers know, the Item votes
for the Dlngley bill; therefore, no
argument is brought up here regard
ing that measure, The point Is: the
house is now idle; nothing on its hands
for remedying the needless and Grim
inal state OF our finances. Therefore,
it is proper time for members Of the
house, so disposed. to legislate more
money for the people.
Recognizing that advantageous re-
suit to ourselves is virtually a recOgni-
tiOn-in this same protection policy
of everything else in the shape OF
financial legislation TO this same end;
hence, it in no sense antagOnizes the
Dingley bill for members Of the House
to agitate and remedy this painful
need for more money, especially
throughout the south and west,
where people to-day cannot borrow
upon their estates at any price.
Keeping the public deprived Of money
when they have the property to
secure it, is contrary to Republican
protection; contrary to the underlying
principles of the Dingley bill.
Therefore, Mr.. Jerry Simpson
proves himself a better and more
thOrough-going advocate of Re-
publican principles than does Speaker
Reed.
