Man Who Needs Shutting Up Perma-
nently and Medical Aid

In police court today, a tall thin man
with staring, light blue eyes and an
emaciated face, was brought before
His clothes were poor and his hair
was disheveled. 1t was Chas.. Charles
burg, a shoemaker. Chief Steele said:
'Charlesburg, you are charged with
being drunk; are you guiIty?''
The latter looked first at the chief,
then at Judge Atchison, and casting his
eyes downward, he said in low tone:
Il am guilty.
Judge" began Chief Steele, .''I have
notion to have this man sent to the
insane asylum. I consider him insane.
His wife told me a few days ago that
they didn't have bite of food in the
house. For the past year he has been
drunk and been arrested two or three
times month. consider that his mind
is gone, and the next time this happens
I will have him tried before the probate
judge"
Charlesburg stood staring at the
chief.

100, 600 men FOR CUBA
To Leave the United States and
Land on the Island July 4.

Minneapolis, Feb. A Journal spec
ial from Aberdeen, S. D., says; Jim
Patterson of the Boston block. Mime
apoIis. which is well known throughout
the northwest has been in Aberdeen on
a peculiar mission He is working
quietly but persistently upon a scheme
TO take 900 men to Cuba and land
them there on the Fourth of July. He
says he is backed by a syndicate Of
Americans who have large land inter-
ests in the islands and claims these
Americans are anxious to cut up their
large holdings and dispose of small
farms. He says there will be enough
steamers at New Orleans on July 3 to
carry the 900 excursionists to Ha-
vana and other ports on the island,
where they intend to land.
The company guarantees protection
from Spanish interference from New
Orleans to Cuba and when the men ar
rive they will be such a formidable body
that Spain will not dare to interfere in
the peaceful pursuits the immigrants
intend to follow. If an attempt should
be made to interfere the men will be in
structed to arm themselves and pro-
tect their rights.
The company's agent claims that a
vast amount Of money has been lost by
American property owners over there
because the Spaniards would not allow
them to work their plantations. They
intend to place a man on every few
acres and if he stands up for his rights
and works the property, he will become
the absolute owner of his plantation in
& few years. The company guarantees
to furnish the settlers with machinery
and arm them if it becomes necessary
through Spanish intervention. Mr..
Patterson says he has been very sue
cessful in securing men from the two
DakOtaS, Montana and Minnesota and
the gigantic excursion is already an as
Sured success.
Mr.. Patterson says he will leave for
eastern points Sunday night to prose-
cute his Iabors in securing volunteers
for the big land seekers excursion on
Independence day.

The City Federation.

The City Federation of clubs held
their third regular meeting at Unity
church, Wednesday afternoon. Mrs.
J. K. Hudson. the president of the To-
peka Federation, presided in her usual
charming manner.
The meeting was opened by vocal
solo by Mr.. Won Dahlen, accompanied
by Mr.. Lewis, which was enthusiastical-
Iy received.
Mrs. ]. c. McClintock, president of
the Kansas State Federation, then read
an interesting paper on the work of the
State Federation. She gave a brief but
comprehensive outline of the history
and growth of the club movement in
Kansas The Kansas Federation she
says is the outgrOwth of the old Social
Science club of Kansas and western
Missouri. She closed her paper by ex-
tending an invitation to the City Fed
Grafton to join the State Federation

dience with a violin solo; he was given
nearly encore to which he kindly re-
Sponded.
Mrs.Laura z. Scammon, the ex-presi-
dent of the Social Science club and the
newly elected president of the Missouri
state Federation, then read a bright
out more plainly the benefit to be de-
rived from club federation.
She began by relating a little parable
or four travellers; one a Greek, an Arab,
TURK and a Persian. They decided to
spend their money for one article of re-
freshment. A dispute then arose for
each one insisted on having q certain
article, naming it in their own lang
uage however. A fifth traveller happen
ed along who understood all four of the
languages; accordingly he took their
money and procured for them basket
of grapes, which was exactly what each
one had desired.
This, Mrs. Scammon says is the case
with our club work; we need an inter-
prefer. We will then find that our
thoughts all trend in the same direc-
ton and we are all striving to attain
the same end.
There is one thing I wish our club
work could teach US, and that is, to
spend money. I know that some of you
are gasping and thinking that it would
be wiser to learn to save it. do not
mean to spend more money, but to
spend 1t for the greatest good.
For instance, if for one year, the club
women or, say, Kansas City or Tope-
ka, should resolve not to spend a cent
upon the purely ornamental in dress,
at the end of the year they might have
saved enough to dedicate a perfectly
appointed club house and in the mean
time could have furnished books for
every school house in the two states
At the end of Mrs. ScammOn's paper,
there was much discussion as to the
advisability of joining the State FEEDER
alton. The vote was unanimous in IA
vor of joining.
