Seller or Alleged Prorano book In Hebrew.
whom He Prosecuted, Discharged.
Following closely on the decision that his be-
ing called a notorious blackmailer by DR.. Mon
taguc r. Leverson injured his reputation to the
extent Of only six cents, Anthony Comstock
received yesterday another setback. This time
the decision against him was rendered in Spe-
cial Sessions Court. when the Judges decided
that a book in Hebrew sold by Meyer Chinskey,
n book dealer of 10 Ludlow street, was not Inn
moral or profane.
The book complained of was "Massa Tolo,"
according to Comstock. This means Tho
Story of the Crucitied One," and Comstock said
that it was n sacrilegious work. published by
the Hebrews to counteract the PROSECUTING work
of the Hebrew Missionary Society. Comstock
declared that the book was not only vulgar and
obscene. but that it reflected directly on Christ.
Chinskey's defence was that the title OF the
book was not "Massa Tolo." but was "Massa
Solo," This title. being interpreted. means The
Story OF the Hanged Ono 1t was commended by
hundreds of years before the birth Of Christ, and
that it was founded on the Talniud and was de-
signed to teach morals and cleanliness to the
young. Each side put in a translation which
differed widely from the other.
Yesterday the Judges decided in Chinskey's
favor and discharged him from custody.

A CHANGE OF

When Silas Ryan. the proprietor and
and manager Of Ryans ranch, set his
employees at work. fencing in a large
body Of the best Government land in
Southern Kansas, he stirred up good
sized hornets nest. and brought the
Insects buzzlng angrily about his head.
He had no shadow OF right to the land.
and naturally the settlers and home
seekers resented his cool appropria-
ton Of 1t to his own use. There were
men who wanted it for homes, and
who were entitled to it under the laws,
and these men looked upon Ryan's
conduct as a base infringement on
their rights and We're not sparing in
their denunciation of him and his or
der
Near Ryan's ranch there was little
town known as Prairie City. 1t was
an insignificant place, with less than
200 population, but 1t gave promise Of
great things in the future. Its inhab-
itants. and the settlers on the prairie
about 1t, believed that in time Prairie
City would become one of the leading
towns OF Kansas. Unfortunately, how
ever. the hopes Of those people were
never to be realized. A railroad was
soon after built through that part Of
the country and it missed Prairie City
by just two miles. The result was
new town OH the railroad and the
death Of the old one. Prairie City
went the way OF hundreds OF other
Kansas towns. Its population took up
their possessions. including their hous-
es, and moved across the prairie to the
railroad.
In Prairie City's halcyon days. how
ever. 1t boasted Of newspaper, the
Prairie City Eagle. 1t was not much
OF paper. being small and poorly
printed. but 1t was quite as good as its
patronage justified. Its subscription
list was extremely limited. and its ad-
vertising business was dwarfed to one
column Of display matter and a few
lines Of pay locals.
The Eagle, as a matter Of course,
stood by the town people and the set
tiers. and when Ryan set his men to
fencing in the public lands for grazing
purposes, 1t came out with strong ed

1t went on, ITO protect themselves
