FOURTH BALLOT.
When the Band Played.

One of the most peculiar requests
ever made to town council,
says a Topeka, Kansas, dispatch
to the St. Louis Republic, will be
presented in the form of a petition
by the citizens of Paola on Tuesday
evening. The people ask that the
council pass an ordinance prohibit
ing the brass band from playing a
certain piece of music, one part of
which is in very high key. The
reason for this strange. request is
based on the accidents which hap
pened in that city recently. An
aeronaut gave balloon ascension.
The balloon rose to a distance of sew
eral hundred feet, the band played
the tune and when it struck the high
key the man fell and was killed.
On Christmas evening the band was
engaged to furnish the music for a
Christmas entertainment in one of
the churches. One part of the pro-
gramme provided for Santa Claus
to come into the church through
the skylight in the roof. He was
holding on rope, and when twenty
feet from the floor the band struck
the high key. Santa Claus fell, and
will die from his injuries.

Monotony Is Fatal.

The other day there was a brief
telegraphic dispatch in the paper
telling of the suicide of young
servant girl in Iowa, who killed
herself because she was Tired and
had no pretty clothes" 1t was a
tragedy in three lines, which told
of the dull round of duties, unre-
lieved by cheerful companionship
or gayety, aud of one with a heart
which SO hungered for the beauty
and refinement Of existence that
she had not the courage to live
without them.
1t may be said chat this was the
rash deed Of an iii-balanced and
morbid girl, but the truth remains
that women are especially suscep-
tible mentally and physically to
the depressing effects Of monotony.
They pine and die under It's blight
ing effects as under some deadly
upas tree. 1t is a well-known fact
that the majority of women in the
insane asylums are the wives and
daughters of farmers. For them
the monotonous round of life has
no pleasant holidays, few new faces
or thoughts, works its most disas-
trous results.
Many mother of a family, who
is worn out ordering meals and
sending the children to school or
with the servants complaints who
has done the same thing at the
same hours of the day for years
and years, until she feels, like the
hapless servant maid, that she
could commit suicide because she
is tired and has no pretty dresses,
needs only a break in the monotony
of her life. A little trip among new
faces and scenes would send her
back with new youth. A night at
a gay play, with bunch of violets
to tuck in her bosom and good
supper afterward, might save
spell of nervous prostration, yet
her family never think of any such
little treat, and she goes on from
day to day, being killed by the dull
monotony of her life.
The business and professional
woman, the society woman, who is
perhaps the hardest worked woman
in the world keep their health anu
youth long after their placid sisters
in the country have sunk into in
validism or premature old age.

The wool growers threaten if they
are not given the protection that
they want Oh wool that they will
vote for free coinage. Judge Will
liam Lawrence, president of the
National Wool Growers associa-
ton, told the Ways and Means COM
mittee during a hearing on the
wool schedule last week that the
election of Mr.. Mckinley had been
accomplished by the votes of the
wool growers in half a dozen
doubtful states who would have
voted for Bryan and free silver had
they not considered protection on
wool more important than free
silver. If this protection was no,
given there would be free silver
congress two years hence and four
years hence free silver presiden,
and congress.

In the house Tuesday q form:

In the house Tuesday a formal
protest was offered against the &C.
ton taken in unseating Mulliner
and Caps. 1t was signed by II
silver republicans and 2 democrats.
1t says in part:
"We most earnestly urge that the
minority report of said com mittee
is without evidence to support it,
and is unfounded in fact, as vel!
as being contrary and squarely in
the face of the express provisions
of the statutes governing the con-
duct of electors, as the same have
been construed by the Supreme
court, and we further urge that the
action of the majority of this body
in rejecting the report of the com
mittee and adopting the minority
report to unseat duly elected and
qualified members, and seat in their
places persons whose qualification
and election are wholly unknown,
was and is illegal, high handed and
revolutionary, overriding, as it
does, the law and the decisions of
our courts, arbitrarily disfranchis-
ing large group of electors, estab
fishing most dangerous precedent
of majority tyranny and lawless-
ness, and IN taking such action
without even an inspection of the
ballots or election returns, not only
trampling upon formal law, hui
shocking all sense of justice, right
and common decency."
The closing paragraph of the
protest is as follows; We do most
solemnly protest against the action
Of this house, taken on Jan. IL.
1897, in adopting said mainority
report and thus expelling from this
house Joseph S. Mulliner and Luther
Nj. Caps, elected thereto by the
will of the people. and seating in
their stead Burdice j. Briggs and
Sample H. Orr, who have shown
no right or claim to said seats.

There is no death penalty in Bel
GUM, but few criminals would
choose the punishment substituted
for i.-that is, if they had a choice.
The condemned man is placed in a
dungeon SO constructed that from
the moment he enters he will never
hear the sound of human voices nor
see human being. His food is
passed in through sliding panel in
the door of his cell. Not one pris-
oner has ever been known to survive
this punishment more than three
years. The authorities have striven
in vain to prolong their lives by
varying their food as much as posi-
bic, but those who are moderately
or lightly nourished gradually waste
away, while those who are fed gen.
erously go mad and die raving
maniacs.

Accounts of atrocities perpetrated
by the Spaniards on defenseless
Cubans are daily being reported.
The last act of brutality recorded
was committed on a Cuban planta-
ton which had been taken posses
sion of by Spanish troops, and all
those who did not make their es-
cape, among whom were several
women and children, were put into
sugar hogsheads which were set on
fire and the victims burned to death.
