BY A MOB OF BOYS.
A Chicago Man and His Family Held
Prisoners IL Hours.

Chicago, Oct. 3-Isaac Schlesinger,
his wife n two children were held
prisoners IA hours at their home in West
Taylor street by a crowd Of 200 boys.
During most of this time the family
were compelled to go without food. as
their larder was empty. Fearing that
an attack would be made upon them.
S~chlesinger barricaded the doors OF his
home and waited for night to fall. be-
lieving that then the enraged crowd
would dispense. 1t was not until III
o'clock at night that the family could
get Out n inform the police.
The trouble started when Schlesinger
was chased by a crowd OF youngsters
neal his home. While running n of
the boys fell and hurt himself. Limping
on one leg inc crying pitifully the boy
aroused the sympathy Of his companions
and they vowed summary vengeance
against Schlesinger. The man was
chased into his house and an attempt
was made to enter IL. but Schlesinger
locked the door. A number OF the boys
went into the side streets and called for
help. The crowd was augmented to 500
and they surrounded the home OF Schle-
singer. Threats were made by h
crowd on the outside and they de-
manded that Schlesinger come out.
Brickbats and other missiles were held
in the hands of the Infatuated boys. DC
~casionally n would throw a stone
through Schlesinger's windows, but this
damage TO his home did not bring him
out.
After waiting 10 hours a number OF
the boys suggested that they break into
the house and drag S~chlesinger into the
street. A number of them tried to kick
in the front door and Sc~hlesinger barri-
caded II. The mob OF youngsters hung
on with determination, but hunger,
which had already begun to pinch the
imprisoned family, finally drove the be-
siegers away n Schlesinger hurried to
a police station. Officers mounted guard
over the prisoners, but the boys failed to
return.

to squeeze the shorts. The traders were
quick to take advantage of the changed

large line was followed by vigorous bid

developed as the day progressed to
strengthen the market.

Spain's Doom.

Spain has no fleet on the seas ex.
cept few old tubs in the vicinity Of
Egypt known as the Cadiz fleet. They
are unseaworthy and valueless for
fighting. Her army in Cuba must
surrender; nothing is to be gained by
longer resistance. The Philippine
Islands must surrender soon; there
can be no relief from home forces.
The United States with its splendid
vessels stands guard over Havana,
Manila and Santiago and will take
them all in few days. Anybody
but nation totally blind and utter
ly unconscious of the actual trend Of
affairs would sue for peace at once.
Spain is too contrary and bigoted to
do it yet but she will come to time
never fear. The cost will simply be
the greater. 1t has lost the Ladrones;
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
will fall and upon them all will be
established stable government that
will aid the cause of civilization and
freedom. Spain's doom is at hand.

Those Remarkable Platforms.

The Pop platform Of Kansas is the
funniest thing on earth, save and
except the Democratic platform.
Taken together they are so ridiculous
that 1t does not seem possible any
man, or one in bis right mind, would
either endorse them or vote for men
who would endorse them. The DEM
ocrstic platform denounces the admin
istration for issuing bonds In time OF
war, ignoring the fact that It's own
party issued them in time OF peace.
It makes the senseless and ridiculous
charge that the Republicans are issu-
ing the bonds to cover up the defc-
iency caused by the Dingley law and
not in good faith to pay warexpenses'
This is almost as bad as the copper
heads talked during the civil war.
The Democrats Of Kansas, who have
had some degree Of respect given to
them in the past, will, II they con-
tinue in this strain, deserve the con-
tempt OF every patriotic citizen OF the
country. The one thing that is most
absurd about the Pop platform is the
demand that all public utilities be
owned by the State. What does the
platform mean by a public utility
The journal will wager ten dollar
bill that no two Of the men who got
up the Pop platform will give the
same definition for the term. A saw
mill is a "public utility'just as much
as a railroad. A dry goods store' a
grocery store, a blacksmith shop a
telephone line, creamery an omnl-
bus, a millinery store, laundry a
steamship line, each and all are pub
lie utilities" to say nothing OF the
thousands OF other industries that are
essential to our modern civilization.
Does the Pop party believe the State
or the government should own them
alp That is what it says. The fus'
ing Of such materials as the Demo-
cratic and Populist platforms are
made Of is likely to cause SO much
Kissing and sputtering that when the
fusing is done there will be nothing
left Of the two but q big fizz.- Law:
renee Journal.
Abilene weekly reflector., 1898-07-07

Good old P. P. Elder, one Of the
Populist saints, has this to say Of a
plank in his party's platforms: 1.-THE
ownership of stock yards by the State
as expressed in our platform is the
most wild and impracticable PROPOSE
tion ever adopted by any convention
Of any party. When this question Of
building, owning and operating such
vast property is fairly considered in
all its impossibilities IT may be pro-
nounced one Of the widest schemes
imaginable. We are quite unwilling
to yield our own conviction for party
harmony. Such unsound and i'm.
plactible questions will some time 90
where the subtreasury scheme went"

National Bankruptcy Law.

Congress has passed a national bank
ruptcy bill which it is believed by the
businessmen Of the country will be
very beneficial. 1t provides that any
person except wage Garner or farmer
may be adjudged bankrupt upon de-
fault or trial. This may be brought
about tor the following causes:
Having conveyed, transferred, con-
cealed or removed any property with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud
creditors; having transferred, while
insolvent, any property to one or
more creditors with intent to prefer
such creditors over other creditors;
having suffered or permitted, while
insolvent, any creditor to obtain a
preference through legal proceedings,
aud not having at least five days be-
fore sale or final disposition Of any
property affected by such preference,
vacated or discharged such preference;
having made general assignment
for the benefit OF his creditors.
The law also provides for voluntary
bankruptcy by admitting in writing
inability to pay debts and expressing
willingness to be adjudged bank
rupt. .....
The law does not 90 into effect for
voluntary bankruptcy for one month,
and for involuntary bankruptcy for
four months, and, Of course, it has no
effect on proceedings commenced un'
der state laws.

or Tne Otner wnetner weDorroweu our
design from the French, adding the
stars as embems of celestial recti-
tude, or whether the American flag
was taken as a whole from the coat
OF arms Of the Washington family,
with the color scheme adopted from
Frances standard.
Away back in 1906 the "De Wessin9-
tons" in England claimed as their
coat of arms red shield with an ar
gent bar bearing "three cnquefoilles
Of ye first" In 1900 again, the
"Weshiyngtons" come out with the
same design slightly altered, and de-
scribed as three mulets gules in
fasse sable"
George Washington's great-great-
grandfather brought over to America
in 1857 the latest fashion in the family
coat of arms--an argent held with
two barrs; and in chief, three mullet
gules."
Washington was too much of re-
publican to permit the direct use Of
any heraldic design of his own in the
national colors, and he never said
anything that could be construed az a
desire on his part to perpetuate his
name in that way. But from the fact
that he drew the design for the Betsy
Ross flag himself and from the close
approximation Of the design to his
family arms, it is not improbable that
he adapted one to the other from
purely disinterested motives.
The American flag has passed
through more vicissitudes than the
flag Of any other nation. 1t has un-
dergone six almost radical changes
from the day of its creation, irrespec-
tive Of the frequent additions of stars
on the admission Of new states. For
every change In the national colors
there has neen war-wth Great
Britain in 1776. France in 1898, Tripoli
in 1903. Great Britain in 1872, Algiers
In 1916. Mexico in 1916 and the civil
war.
1t is significant of Washngtonis
greatness-the man who really de-
signed the American fag-that when
Washington died, 1899, Napoleon
Bonaparte ordered the standards Of
the French army to be shrouded In
crepe for ten days and in England
feet of 60 men-of-war lowered their
flags to half-mast.
The present war with Spain makes
the seventh actual war with foreign
country in which the American flag
has been flown, and 1t has never seen
defeat.
