THE VISCAYA BLOWN up.

The Raging Neosho the Scene OF the First
Naval Engagement on Kansas Waters.
There has been a good deal OF
joking among Kansas newspapers
about what might happen if spanish
gun boats should sneak up some Kan
sas river of dark night
Well, that is no joke ia lola.
At least it is no joke to Cheerful
idiot of fisherman down on the
Neosho who named his pretty new
skiff "Niscaya" Nobody knows
whether he namei it after the big
SPANISH war ship with malics
atorethought ana to show his
sympathy for spain or whether
he adopted the name simply be-
cause he thought it was pretty
And the stick OF dynamite that hap
pened to light in the region of the
little skiffs diaphram didn't stop u
inquire what the owners motive was
in adopting he name. There WASH
enough of it left for post mOrtem,
but nobody seems to doubt that the
explosion was external.
One lone fisherman is lOuesomer
than he was, but he knows more
He knows, for one thing, that the
Neosho is not the Guadalqniver.

Safe Broke Open,

Last Saturday night burglars en-
tered the Touring mill of W. +. Davis
q Co. on the river west of town and
broke open the safe. The men entered
the building by prying open window
and then set deliberately to work to
rob the safe. Holes were drilled
through the safe door around tine lock
and heavy blows were struct on the
lock and then the door came open,
The peculiar thing about the affair is
that the safe has not been locked for
seven or eight years as nothing OF
value Is kept in it, the firm doing all
their business by checking on the
lola banks. The would-be crack
either through ineXperience or absent
surprising 1t locked, worked labor
iously for hours drilling holes and
hammering. When they made al
entrance into the safe they removed
everything and spread it out ,on the
floor and found nothing of value t.
them. During this procedure they
probably kept up running &C
compartment of cussing which wa'
not at all proper by dam site
After taking an invoice OF the safe't
contents, the men left everything OF
the floor and made their exit through
the window. The lock of the safe II
so badly damaged that 1t is useless
but that Is the extent of the loss.

exclaimed the senator, .but my resolu-
ton is for peace. One word from this
administration would bring peace to
this continent and under the provi-
dence of God we believe ii would bring
independence to Cuba"
There was a storm of applause at
this declaration.
THE thumbscrews of the inquisition
would be again brought into use in
Cuba" proceeded Mr.. Mason. These
pincers that tear the flesh from human
bones have contributed to the carnival
of casualty. Three hundred thousand
people have starved. Three hundred
thousand are marching to the grave.
And yet the cry was raised that war
was being sought when the one and
only cry was for peace and an end TO
this atrocity.'
Mr.. Hale interrupted at this point to
say that Mr.. Mason's figures of those
said to be dead and starving were far
exaggerated and out of ali proportion
to the known population of the island
Such statements We're monstrous. de-
clared Mr.. Hale.

He said he would establish his state

man recognized as conservative in his
statement. Mr.. Mason proceeded to
read the statements of correspondents
as to the famine and distress In Cuba
Referring to the duty of the United
States, he said: This government
ought to maintain that the horrible
massacres which are now common in
the island and conducted under the

Mr.. Mason described the recent kill
ing of the Cuban general, Arangueren,
brilliantly, and with much effect the
shocking details of that act. He de-
clared that this was not civilized war
fare. and he held that tho government
of the United States had ample au-
thority to interfere. and to require that
the rules of warfare recognized by civil
ICED nations be respected.

AGAINST THE COMPANY.
The Estate of Mr.. Curtis Will Receive
$1,000 Insurance Money.


Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boise, Idaho, Feb. "a telegram was
received here to-day announcing de-
cision by the circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco in one of the most
celebrated life insurance cases in the
history of the state. Il. j. Curtis. ex-
secretary of state, held a policy for
$4,000 in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
association, but when he died he was
in arrears for two and one-half years
in his assessments. The company re-
fused to pay the policy and the admin
istrator sued on the technical ground
that notice of assessment was not le-
gal. The law of New York requiring
30 days notice was claimed to be vio-
lated because the notice sent the first
of one month for the payment to be
made the first day of the following
month was one day behind, under the
well-known rule of computing in such
cases. Judge Beatty decided against
the insurance company and the court
of appeals affirms it. This finally set
ties the case, and the estate including
interest, will get $500.

Murray's body trembles constantly,
and when he attempts to speak his chin

frequently leaps out of bed and sits

When a watch was handed to Muir
