FAILED AS USUAL.

None of the Newspapers furnished by
the fast mail gave their readers any in
tImation, on Wednesday morning, Of
the terrible tornado which swept over
the city Of Fort Smith Tuesday night,
and which left such death and desola-
ton in its train. The Eagles special
gave, succinctIy, the facts as the Asso-
ciated Press later confirmed. 1t is a
difficult matter to print morning pa
per the evening before and have 1t
either newsy or reliable, and the man
who patronizes such a publication viii
find himself a day behind in his Infor-
nation on most of the real important
events Of the world. The Fort Smith
storm, in which there was such fear
ful loss of life and destruction of prop
erty, occurred before midnight, not one
word about which could be found in the
Kansas City morning papers, which
proves lust what the Eagle has declar-
ed true all along, and that is, no i'm
portant event, accident or catastrophe
occurring after either early evening or
late at night can ever be found in the
editions of the fast mali newspapers
They are, so far as news outside Of

ter, a pretence and a fake.

A Washington correspondent fntlmates
that President Mckinley has not had an
altogether pleasant time Of it attending

TOO MUCH WHISKY.

The reading public have not forgotten
the horrible Guldensuppe murder case,
in New York. its bloody details Of cut
ting UP the victim and disposing Of
limb here, another member there, and
the final conviction and confession.
Martin Thorn, the author of this red
page in the criminal calendar, more
horrible than that for which Durrant
swung, Will probably get a new trial
Not that his guilt is questioned, but on
a legal technicality. His lawyer alleges
and swears that he stands ready to
prove that the jury which adjudged his
client guilty and fixed his punishment
at death were under the influence Of in
toxicants during the hearing Of testi-
mony and when debating the penalty
to be fixed. Mr.. Howe bases his allega-
tions upon bill rendered by the sheriff
in which the following items appear:
Liquor, $239.95; cigars, $1S620; billiards,
S5425. There were twelve jurors and
they were in session nine days. By sim
pie division is obtained s2.25 each day
that each juror poured down his throat
in liquor or beverage that cheers and
inebriates. If any of the jurors were
teetotalers the per capita daily con-
sumption should prove greater. Pre-
Stunning that the sheriff purchased the
liquor in bottles and that it was moth
ing but whisky that was drunk, this
would make about two quarts Of fire
water that the thirsty men sitting in
Judgment, put down. The man who is
seeking an argument can now debate
the question with himself: Resolved,
That two quarts of whisky drank in
one day is insufficient in quantity to
produce intoxication," or Resolved,
That no man can drink 1925 worth of
liquor at regular market price and re-
main sober"

1T COSTS TO DIE

1t costs to die these times, as the
palaces and turnouts of undertakers at
test. It is not the act of ceasing to live,
nor the services of the physician, but
the subsequent bills of the undertaken
which paralyzes the bulk of the estate
left by the deceased. The solemn look
ard black vesture of the man who
manages the hearse line are not all for
nothing. The more you leave behind
you the greater the cost of your final
cost to the mourning relatives, who
J possess the whereWithal TO pay, will be
found in the fact that they must make
up for those who cannot pay or other
