THE INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION.


The nineteenth century has witnessed
more momentous changes in the organ
lzation of industry than have taken
place in the 5000 years of previously
recorded history of mankind. The in
ventions of labor-saving machinery OPP
Grated by steam and electricity, have
completely revolutionized production
and displaced handicraft from it's
sphere of individual competition. One
by one all the trades which for cen
turtles had offered an incentive to me
chanical skill and ingenuity have been
forced to give way to the machine. And
the man operating the machine has
become more and more a mere automa-
ton.
The forces that brought about this
revolution in the mechanical arts have
also called into existence the concen-
tration of capital essential for carrying
on production under the new condi-
lions. The corporate form of capitals
tic enterprise has gradually supplanted
individual effort. just as the automatic
machine has supplanted the mechanic.
These tendencies toward Capitalization
and combination have become irresist-
fble and manifest themselves in every
branch of industry and commerce.
The department store is the natural
outgrowth Of modern demands and con-
dttions as much as is the skyscraper
office building, the rapid transit street
railways and the modern beef butcher
tng and meat-packing house. Industrial
evolution is no respecter of persons or
places With resistless force it brushes
the weak and builds up the strong; re-
Juvenates and invigorates enterprises
adapted to the new conditions and pros
trates and paralyzes the misfits that
stand in the way of progress.
The trend of the times is in the direc-
ton of condensed production and en-
larged consumption. The machine-made
goods crowd out the handmade goods
because they are cheaper and the
cheaper they are the more people will
use them. thus increasing the demand
and compelling the enlargement of the
factories and mills. There is an old
aGage that revolutions never go back
wards For the same reason the tide of
industrial evolution cannot be stemmed
All that can be done and all that should
be done as to check it's aggressive force
wherever it becomes detrimental to
any class and wherever 1t is used for
the enrichment of the few and the i'm
poVerlshnent of the many.

a YOUNG FIEND.
16-Year-old Boy at Harper Confesses
to Assaulting and Numbering
His Cousin

Harper. June 27.-John Kornstadt, a
part of Harper county, has confessed
to having murdered his cousin, Nora,
the 10 year old daughter of Tony
Kornstadt. He first assaulted her and
then threw her into an abandoned well,
where she was found last Wednesday.
She was alive when found, but died
an hour later, without recovering con-
seriousness.
Her cousin was suspected and. the
feeling became so strong that lynching
was talked of. Sheriff Gillespie took
charge of the boy Sunday night and
brought him to Harper fer safe keep
ing. A searching examination Mon
day morning by County Attorney Nc
Colloch brought out the confession. He
was taken to Wichita last night for
fear of mob violence

SOUTH KANSAS HARVEST.
Wheat Yield Much Better Than Was
Expected.

Independence. June 27.-Wheat har-
vest has been completed in southern
Kansas, and never in the history of the
country did the farmers have better
week to harvest their wheat. The wheat
turned out much better than was ex-
pected a few weeks ago, and many
fields that the farmers intended to pillow
under have produced considerable
wheat.
The yield this year will be up to the
average While it was not as heavy
on the ground as it is some years, the
heads were filled better. Most of the
wheat will be threshed out of the shock
because SO much of it has been injured
in the past years, while in the stack, by
the driving rains. The oats harvest has
commenced, and will be under full head
way all over this section in a day or
two. The oats crop will be the largest
for several years. Corn has generally
been laid by, and is higher than mans
head in many fields. The rains have
done it a world of good, and it promises
a big WELD

Some people, who have consciences,

It has been decided by the friends of
an Atchison boy who has returned from
college that the only thing he seems to

An Atchison man is carefully watch

groom is unwilling. 1t is the time
when a man is always Out-arSued: at
his own wedding. The affair couldn't
go without him, but he doesn't like
to quarrel with the angel who is about
to marry him, so he consents, and
makes the long trip in the church look
ing like a man approaching the scat
fold. Indeed, we have often wondered
that accounts of weddings don't say
that the groom was resigned, and ate
a fried egg for breakfast with good ap-
petite, and asked his jailer to forgive
him for the trouble he had caused, and
meet him in heaven. If a woman must
have a pa;ade, can't it be arranged to
have q dummy from a clothing store
rolled up the aisle beside her, and the
moose put an its neck? No one would
notice that it was not the groom.
