Trans Mississippi Congress.


This congress had it's origin in Kansas n an
act of the legislature of this state. 1t has
grown to be large convention OF business mea
and has had sey raj important sessions. The
uext meeting will be held in this state. The
question as to whether it should have state
recognition is left for your consideration.
Corn Exhibit.
IL Is expected that provision will be made by
Congress- through the Department of Agricul-
ture for an exhibition OF corn AMI co n pro
utts ut the international exhibition TO be hold
in Paris in the year 1909. The people OF other
countries lave but little knowledge OF the
wor tn and uses Of this cereal The object OF
The exhibit Is to widen the market for this
great American product by giving the people OF
foreign countries better knowledge OF its
value. Many OF the corn producing states are
expected to aid this exhibit by appropriation
Kansas Is a great corn producing state, and
should take advantage of this opportunity to
identify itself with this undertaking.
Mine Inspection.
The ONCE OF mine inspector was created in
1888 and all OF the expenses have been paid by
the state There is no greater reason why the
state should pay for this service than there is
that the state should pay for the inspection of
grain or oil. The obligation rests upon the
mine owner to see that his mine is in proper
and safe condition for the miner. and II the
state is compelled to do tn work for him he
should be required to pay for the services he
law looking to the protection OF the coal miner
should be so changed us TO give him the fullest
protection.
Economy.
An opinion prevails throughout the state
that there Is extravaganza In nearly all OF the
state departments. This sentiment should not
be disregarded and In view OF the facts which
have detailed in review Of the condition of
our finances, prudence would suggest that we
should pursue the stfictest economy. During

SCAFFOLD HORROR.

There was an awful scene In tho
Norfolk (Va.) jail yard Friday Afternoon
when John Anderson was hanged.
When the drop fell the rope broke and
Anderson was precipitated upon the
stone pavement below. His head
struck and from cash upon his fore
head the blood streamed. dyeing the
hands Of the marshal's assistants as
they carried him, unconscious, up the
stairs of the scaffold from which he
was shortly launched again, this time
SUCCESSFULLY.
The rope which broke was tested
Friday morning with weight almost
double that OF the condemned man, and
its breaking later is inexplicable. The
superstitious comment upon the fact
that Judge Robert w. Hughes. who sat
upon the bench when Anderson was
tried. was Friday stricken with what
Is feared may prove a serious illness,
and that the father Of the executioner
has just died. 1t Is also reported as
fact that one of the men who assisted
in the test of the rope when the execu-
ton was first contemplated, in August
Hast, was recently stricken with paraly-
sis.
Anderson's crime attracted wide
spread attention, being sea tragedy
of singular atrocity. AS told In the
Blade some months ago, the schooner
Olive Pecker sailed from Boston, laden
with lumber, for a point on the River
Platte, Brazil. When $50 miles of the
coast Of Brazil, Anderson had an alter
cation with the captain. When the
latter retired to the. cabin Anderson
followed and shot the captain dead,
Then he armed himself heavily and
went on deck, where he mounted the
forecastle and terrorized all on board.
The mate, who was aloft, was called
down, and while pleading for his life
was shot four times. Then the crew
were ordered to throw the mate over
board, and on protesting that he was
not dead were assured that he was
dead enough" This done, the crew
was marched below at the point Of a
pistol and ordered to throw the cap
tain's body overheard.
Then Anderson directed that oil be
thrown over the lumber, after which
the ship was set on fire and the crew
took to the boats. Anderson was APP

SUICIDES TRACED TO FOOD.

DR.. Haig, an eminent authority on
opinion that suicides may be traced to
error in diet, the error being the eat
ing of meat, the drinking Of beer and
tea, and the smoking of tobacco. His
facts all fall comfortably into their
places in support of his hypothesis.
Are there not more suicides among
men than among women, and do not
men consume more meat, more beer
and more tobacco than the women?
Again, suicide is more common In Eng
land than in Scotland, not apparently
because the Scotch are a more canny
race, but because the English eat more
meat and drink more beer, while the
Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky
instead of beer, says the Hospital"
After maintaining that suicide was less
common among the Scotch 1t was per-
haps hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience, to go on to say that
suicide increased with civilization. But
the fact was explained on the ground
of more injurious diet, that of civil
ICED man being more productive Of uric
acid and thus Of suicide than that
which prevails where civilization is
less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at
the bottom of all this, and, according
to DR.. Haig, the incidence of suicide
tallies with the daily. annual and life
fluctuations Of uric acid in the blood,
being commonest when uric acid is
most abundant, namely, in the morn
ings, in spring and summer.

pretended at Bahia, Brazil, and sent
north on the United States gunboat
Lancaster. He was tried and convicted
in the United States court at Nor
folk and a stubborn fight was made up
to the supreme court, the conviction
being confirmed.
Anderson's plea for clemency was
based on stories of terrible abuses
heaped upon him by the captain whom
he killed. Having slain his enemy he
was compelled to make himself mas
ter of the ship and the situation. which
he did by shooting the mate and ter
rorizing the crew.

both wore the same fraternity pin.
They had not seen each other in more
than year, consequently questions
and answers were tossed rapidly back
and forth. Gradually the subjects
talked about became more confden-
tial in tone.
