Words and PhraGes THAT Are Used
Not Always Correctly.

New York SUM-
Within the last three or four years two
verbs. one OF English and the other OF
American origin. have entered toe French
and German languages. They are TO
boycott and ITO lynch" and their forms
in French are "boycotter'' and "iyncher,"
and in German "boycottieveD" and
'-lynchen." Aside from these two In
stances, the introduction OF English words
into German everyday speech Is az rare
as the use OF French words, or Gcrman-
i5ed-Freneh words IL common. In France,
on the contrary. the last decade has Wit
messed a perfect avalanche OF words from
across the channel. This Is parity due TO
the fact that English is at present the
polite language for Frenchmcn who mako

true OF bicycling. These words are not

would fail to recognize them with the
Gallo accent-but they answer the pur-
pose.

Buffalo and "widwest" have various
occult meanings; c'est un buffalo or c'est

There Is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be overlooked.
The sleep of human being IL we ara
not too busy to attend 10 the matter,
always evokes a certain feeling OF awe.
Go into a room where n person is sleep
ing. and IL is difficult to resist the sense
that one is in the presence of the GEN.
trail mystery OF existence. People who
remember how constantly they see old
Jones asleep in the club library Will
smile at this: but look quietly and aloha
at even old Jones. and the sense OF inys-
terry will soon develop. 1t Is no good TO
say that sleep IS only moving" because
IL looks like death. The person who Is
breathing so loudly as to take away all
thought of death causes the sense Of awe
quite as easily as the silent sleeper, who
hardly seems to breathe.
We see death seldom, but were II more
familiar we doubt II a corpse would in
spire so much awe as the unconscious
and sleeping figure-a smiling, irrespoasi-
bic doll Of flesh and blood, but a doll to
whom In a second may be recalled
proud, active, controlling consciousness
which will ride his bodily and his mental
horse with hand OF iron. which will force
that body 10 endure toll and misery, and
will make that mind. now wandering In
paths OF fantastic folly, grappIe with
some great problem. or throw all its force
into the ruling, the saving. or the de-
struction OF mankind. The corpse is only
so much bone. muscle and tissue. The
sleeping body is the house which a quick
and eager master has only left for an
hour or so. Let any one who thinks sleep
Is no mystery, try to observe In himself
the process by which sleep comes, and
TO notice how and when and under what
conditions he loses consciousness. he
will. OF course. utterly fail to put his
finger on the moment of sleep coming.
but in striving to get as close as he can
TO the phenomena OF sleep, he will renlize
how great is the mystery which he Is
trying to fathom.

KINNEY LOSES A HOTEL.
A Tax Title Enterprise That Failed to
Pan cut.

A month or so ago Geo. Kinney, the
merchant, bought the old Lincoln
Avenue hotel building on East Lin.
coin avenue and announced that he
would move 1t to the vacant lots
north Of his grocery store and rsstau'
rant. About thes same time he secured
a tax title to lots 10, 20, q and p 10
block 96, being the lots formerly Occu
pied by the Arnold livery barn on
South Washington avenue near the
union depot. About ten days ago he
put house mUvers 10 work at moving
the hotel building, good, two story
structure, up town. Instead OF NOV
ing the building to the lots north Of
his grocery store, 1t was taken to the
lots on South Washington avenue,
with the intention OF starting a cheap
eating house TO run in opposition to
]. NJ. Purcell's eating house. Purcell
saw what was going on before the
building was placed on the lots and be
began looking up the title to the lots,
the result being that he agreed to buy
them Of Wm. Arnold, the owner.
Kinney was warned by Purcell not
to place the building on the lots, as be
intended to buy them. Kinney
ignored the warning and the building
was placed on the lots and the jack
screws removed from under il,
The negotiations between Arnold
and Purcell for the transfer OF the
lots continued, and a warranty deed
conveying the lots to Nancy j. Purcell
and others was drawn and signed
Wednesday, aud record fled Friday.
Before filing the deed, Purcell called
on Kinney Friday and made tender
Of the full amount Of the taxes with
interest, and demanded the surrender
OF the tax deed, the tine for redeem
ing the lots not having expired.
Kinney refused to surrender the deed,
and a suit will be brought 10 district
court by Purcell to have it set aside.
Purcell. without question, has the
best end Of the deal, and Kinney will
lose his lots ana hotel building.

Of next week. Those 10 charge OF the
work anticipate no trouble whatever
in fnging ready signers. The recent
storm delayed the work several days,
or the petitions would have been filled
this week and presented TO the mayor.
Mayor Brown Is becoming eager to
call the election, and feels confident
that the proposition will carry by an
Overwhelming majority.
"There are few knockers In the
city Of course" said Mayer Brown 10
reply to a reporters question as to
whether the proposition was meeting
with any opposition. "But they ale
few in number and not hard to poiEt
out. People VINO are in favor OF
progress and want to see the city
grow and advance, are in favor Of the
bonds. The proposition will carry at
the polls"
John T. Stewart, chairman OF the
committee appointed by the Com
mercial club to negotiate with east
ern capitalists for the sale Of the
bonds, has received several letters
which justify the prediction that tle
city will have no trouble disposiug Of
the bonds. The capitalists suggest
that the rate Of interest be placed at
5 per cent instead Of 4 per cent, but
their suggestions will not be complied
with. 1t Is only natural that the
money lenders should try to receive as
much interest for their money as
possible, but the city will pay only 4
per cent at the outside. The belief is
confidently expressed that the bonds
can be fOated without difficulty at
less than 4 per cent interest. No one
anticipates that the bonds will not
find ready takers when the PROPOSE
tion to issue them carries. The
letters received by Mr.. Stewart and
thecommittee show that Wellington's
credit is rated higher than Arkansas
City and many other Kansas tewns
having a larger population than Wei
lingtOn.

CAUGHT THE THIEVES
The Gang That Stole Joe Semers'
Wheat Are In the Tolls.
NUMBER 81,

Sheriff Heskett, assisted by Deputy
Sheriff E. A. Kranlch OF Oxford, Sun.
day arrested three men at Oxford,
On the charge OF stealing Joe Somers
wheat week or so ago. The mems
names are James and Newt Mayo, and
William Patterson. They bear bad
regulations, and are believed TO be
members OF an organized gang OF
thieves who have been operating in
the southeastern part Of the county
all fall.
The men were arrested In an old
shanty on the river bank. They had
been camping out on the river, but
the storm drove them to safer shelter.
When tue officers arrived at the build.
ing, which is located in the under.
brush and very difficult Of access,
they found eight or ten persons, we'll
armed. The crowd OF men did not
give the officers cordial greeting,
and it looked for awhile as If there
would be trouble, but no physical re.
sistance was offered. The three pris.
oners were brought to Wellington
yesterday evening and lodged In jail.
Their preliminary trials have not been
arranged for.
The officers are firm in their belief
THAT the Mayo boys and Patterson are
members Of an organized gang OF
wheat thieves, The Mayo boys are
both under q years OF age; Patterson
Is about 26 years old. The infOrma-
tion upon which they were arrested
for wheat stealing was furnished by
Joe SOmers. When Somers' wheat
was stolen recently, the thieves were
tracked TO Winfield, where they sold
the wheat tn Baden's mills. The otfl.
GERS had been on their trail for some
time.

Sheriff Godfrey Of Grant county,
Oklahoma, who has charge OF Mrs.
Lulu Johnson, accused Of numbering
her husband, was 10 Topeka Fri
day trying to find c. L. Umsher, her
son, who was supposed to be at work
in the Santa Fe shops in Topeka.
Umsher could not be found. Mrs.
Johnson has been In Jail at Pond Creek
about six months. She got away
once, but was captured after travelling
a hundred miles. Mrs. johnson is "a
years Of age, but has always been SO
attractive personally that she never
had any trouble fhding husbands.
Since Mrs. JOhnsOn's arrest, she has
written history Of her life, 10 which
she makes the statement that Parks,
who was her second husband, was her
illegitlmate father. She fell In love
with him at first sight, according TO
her history, but their relationship was
not discovered until long afterward.
Mrs. Shirley, wife of the man with
whom Mrs. johnson left AtchisOn,
disappeared shortly after she went to
Topeka to protest against the actions
Of her husband and Mrs. Johnson in
1895, and it is believed that Mrs. John
son had something to do with her
disappearance. The trial OF Mrs,
JohnsOn will begin next week, and il
will attract great attention 10 OKLA
