the chair. The following is quoted from
the future records of the session:

Citizens Object to Being Awakened
Too Early in the Morning.

Chicago, Aug Alderman Schlake
has an anti-church bell crusade on his
hands. The bell which hangs in the
tower of All Saints Episcopal church,
North Hermitage and Wilson avenues,
has made itself obnoxious to the neigh
bors and they have turned to Alderman
Schlake for help. The alderman was
in the city hall yesterday with a petit
ton yards long reciting the unholy con-
duct of the bell 1t was signed, the petit
ton related, by residents of the vicinity,
irrespective of creed or religious af-
filiatiOns." The burden of complaint is
that this particular church bell has been
rung almost daily for two months or
more between the hours of and
O'Clock in the morning, $50 that the
peace and quiet of the neighborhOod is
unreasonably broken and the rest and
comfort of residents is violently dis
turbed, more especially of the sick
Alderman Schlake carried his trouble
first to Commissioner Mccain. The
commissioner referred him to Chief
Ripley The chief pOndered long and
thOughtfully and decided he would not
undertake to regulate an Obstreperous
church bell without an opinion from the
corporation counsel. Mr.. Thornton says
there are many legal decisions giving
warrant for suppressing a too indus
triOus church bell as a public nuisance.
Boston was once all torn up over the
Hollis street church. The supreme court
suppressed the bell.

SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN
To Be Opened in Bourbon County
This Month.

Fit. Scott, Aug. An. NJ. Jones, sec
rotary of the Bourbon county socialist
party, in an interview stated that the
party was making a diligent campaign
in this county, and in conclusion said:
THE socialist vote is going to be sur
prise to the natives of Kansas, especi-
ally in this county. Almost every old
time pOpulist in the county is support
ing our ticket. When this is the case
you can set it down that we are going
to poll a good vote. Where these men
lead people know they can safely fol-
low. They know that socialism is the
Outgrowth of all previous political agi-
tatiOn, and they also realize that they
cannot do much for themselves from
this movement, but that they can show
to the coming generation the road to
Peace on earth, good will toward
men,
The campaign committee has distrib-
uted much socialist literature in this
county. G. B. Keinard of New York
city is billed for twenty lectures in the
state and will be in Fort Scott and open
the campaign here August II. He is
employed by the national socialist COM
mittee.

A HUMAN GOHST.
Queer Plan of Frightening a Girl Into
Behavior.

St Louis, Aug. 4-Swinging on the
big front gate in the twilight and later
was a pastime in which Miss Lizzie
Henke of 1016 Malinckrodt street found
great delight.
But she has ceased this time-hOnored
fascination, and therein lies the basis
of a story.
Anton Henke, a staid old German citi-
zen, whose ideas may be somewhat
prudish, is the father of Miss Lizzie;
and Joe Henke, strapping fellow OF
10, is her big brother He is proud OF
his sister, but he cOncurS in the bellef
of Papa Henke that swinging on the
front gate is not exactly the proper
thing for young ladies.
For several weeks the combined
pleading of father and brother fell upon
the fair Lizzie like air, but at last they
hit upon a plan that abruptly term
mated the gate swinging.
Joe decided to impersonate ghost
and brighten his sister away from the
Accordingly, one evening recently
when Miss Lizzie was making the gate
hinges creak merrily under the pressure
of her 10 pounds aVOirdupo1s, Joe APP
peared a short distance in the rear, clad
in the raiment wraiths are supposed to
wear.
He wore a mask of dough over his
face and a white sheet covered his body
from head to foot. A low, cultural
sound caused Miss Lizzie to look
around. ,z
one piercing scream, and she bounded
off of the gate and into the house:
Since then she has not ventured near

Two COffeyville Men Torture a
Small Boy.
Strap Him to the Back of a
Frightened Horse.
ANIMAL RUNS AWAY.
AtchisOn Volunteer Among the
Missing at Santiago.

COneyville, Aug. 4.-Warrants have
been issued from Justice Matthew's
court for the arrest of Ed Barrett and
J. Bales, the men who strapped the boy,
Jesse Blanch, to the horse at the race
track Tuesday, July &c. The horse be-
came frightened and ran away, and
the boy was dragged for considerable
distance before the strap that tied the
boy to the horse was broken. This was
the only thing that saved the boys life.
The complaint to which Bales and
Barrett must answer was sworn out by
the well known attorney, R. P. Kerche-
val, and is as follows: That on or
about July 26 Ed Barrett and J. Bales
did wflfully and purposely torture,
abuse and maItreat one Jesse BIanch
and one other child, by name Bub
Bales, both under the age of Is years,
by then and there tieing them to the
back OF a vicious horse with a surcingle
and by forcing said children to run said
wild and vicious horse while so tied
and strapped on the back of said horse,
contrary to the statutes in such cases
made and provided
Bales and Barrett gave bond for their
appearance Saturday, when their trial
viii be held. The case is a state case
and the maximum penalty is a fine of
$3.50 or II months imprisonment or
both.
The boy Blanch, who was injured, is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected but his condition is much more
serious than thought at first Public
sentiment is loud in its censure of the
dangerous practice of strapping little
boys to horses and the case will be
watched with deep interest.
