I.ahOri.

The re-entry of Labor into the Dreyfus
trial at Rennes is marked by such an re-
invigoration of the defense that 1t is no
longer marvel that the desperate agency
of assassination was employed to remove
him from the scene. His questions have
already turned the tide No longer are the
generals permitted to dec!aim against the
prisoner and to avow their love of France,
in lieu of giving testimony. Their philippcs
are punctuated by sharp queries, their eXag-
gerations reduced to plain terms. their
assertions are knocked down to the merest
gossip The silencing of General MERCER
by single adroit question reveals the
power of the man who came so near to
death a result of his devotion to the
cause of justice. Labori has evidently
studied the Dreyfus affair and it's many
qualifications so closely. that he is in touch
with every phase and detail. This is of
itself a gigantic task. 1t involves inquiry
into personal scandals and official disputes,
into the causes underlying the rise and
fall of ministries, into the most important
foreign relations of the republic. Indeed,
a comprehensive study of the Dreyfus case
is equivalent to a thorough course in con-
temporaneous French history. Laboris
mastery over the subject was revealed when
he defended lola, and he has supplemented
the knowledge of the affair which he then
gained by later researches until he is be-
yond doubt the ablest defender whom the
prisoner could summon. This specific
knowledge of the case is coupled with an
unusual power of examination, so that the
advocate is a terror to the prosecutors
The confusion into which he has already
thrown them. so soon after his return
wounded, to the court room, indicates how
reasonable were their fears of him at the
outset. This fact bears suggestively upon
the attempt upon his life. No ordinary IA
matte inspired by religious factional zeal
70 attempt murder, would be likely to
measure Labori's force with such accu-
as the victim, rather than Dreyfus him.
self or Picquart. The acumen which
picked out Labor for the bullet represented
a close acquaintance with the case and
with the weak places in the prosecution
which Labor was certain to penetrate with
his searching questions. There are big
issues and prominent personages at stake
in this trial. Dreyfus is the center, but
the real participants are more important
individuals than this Hebrew captain of ar
tillery Every question Labor asks that
makes a witness vince is a challenge to
the prosecution. 1t is a bid for the dan
gers which have once come so near to COM
passing his death. He is brave and COM
manding figure, and he Is entitled to the
sympathy and encouragement of the world
in his heroic and now desperate fight for
the truth.

dent Mckinley that If the present policy
OF expansion is persisted in the republican
party VIII lose the German vote in 1900
This country is not disposed to listen to the
advice of Germans, IriShmen, Englishmen,
Spanlards, Italians or people of whatsoever
race. We may be presuming, we Ameri-
cans, but we think we know what self
government IS and how to apply it.
If the German americans choose to raise
such an issue as this to challenge the
American in his own home on a question
of loyalty to America, or loyalty to Ger
many and German ideals, we believe Amer
lea is ready for the ISSUE and we believe
the German will for the first time in his
life find out how many Americans there
are in this country.
We do not know of anything that would
cause a greater rally to President McK!n-
ley and his policy than such threats as
these that we have been discussing On
such an issue the democrats. by the tens
of thousands, would quietly vote to sustain
the American President. The love of coun-
try in America Is deep and strong Touch

Oh, patient weather man, you hear
OF mans complaint so much
That it may be a task severe
Your calloused heart to touch.
Yet, if you be not hard as flint,
You will consent to heed
A small, disinterested hint
In humid hours of need.
Like the astrologer of old,
You fill our minds with awe.
We think the universe controlled
AS you lay down the law.
And when we see the seethipg sun
Which sets the skies ahame,
We feel for all the damage done
You somehow are to blame.
AT even-tide the placid moon
Makes glad the tranquil hour.
It's better than the orb of noon,
Though less in candle-power.
Then pray consider this advice
Till summer days are fled
Why don't you put the sun on ice
And use the moon instead?

The two weeks and a half

ord that is very gratifying to
us. 1t was a question if Furs
would create a demand here
with the thermometer around
the boiling mark. The oppor-
tunity to offer big values at
very low prices tempted us to
take the risk. We're glad we

Col. Picquart bids fair to become one of
the historical figures of the century. He
was faithful found to the ideals of truth
and honor where all around was faithless-
ness. He did not admire Dreyfus. In fact
he knew him but slightly and never liked
him. He made his discoveries in the line
of his duty and simply did what an honest
man would do, uninspired by any personal
interest in the victim. Col. Picquart has
suffered much for righteousness sake, as
for righteousness he labored. His reward
will be sufficient for him if it is only his
own conviction of duty done. Picquart is
the only man who has thus far appea red
on the witness stand in this trial who an
swers to what Americans and Englishmen
mean by the phrase Officer and gentle
man"

PARTNERSHIP cow.
Causes Trouble Between Father and
Son.

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-One Of the
queerest lawsuits in the history of jur-
isprudence came before the court OF
common pleas this week. The suit is
brought by Patrick J. Whellen against
his son, Patrick. Jr., for injuries in
ficted by a COW which they owned
Jointly. BY a previous agreement be
tween the two parties the forepart or
the COW was owned by the son, while
the rear part was the property of his
father. One day when the old man was
milking the COW turned about and toss
ed him up with her horns. he was
picked up unconscious and had to lie
in bed three weeks. Now he wants S1v'-
When they divided the property it
was found that there were p head, and
after each man had taken 10 there was
still one left, and best in the herd. It
was finally decided that each was to
own One-half of the COW If 1t was Kill
ed the son was to have the forepart as
his and his father was to have the rear
Every day the son went to the farm or
his father and watered and fed the cow
The old man always MIXED it. As soon
as old man Whellen recovered sufn-
GENTLY from being hooked by the cow
he went to see his son.
Il hope you are better now" said the
son enthusiastically. ''and for the well
fare of US both 1 think the COW should
be sold"
"SoId!' roared Mr.. WhelIen. 1T shall
not be soldr
s'WeIl. Just as you say, father. But
remember if you do sell the COW own
the fore half of it."
1T is well 1 know you do. According
to the agreement you own the fore part
of the COW. The rear is mine. You fed
it. MIXED it. While milking I was in
jured by the part of the COW owned by
you, and which you are responsible for,
said the old man.
The two parted in anger, the father
threatened to sue. but tine son took it
as a joke. In due time the papers We're

DANGEROUS NEGRO.
Fights the officers and Has a Lively
Time Generally.

John Vaughn, the negro who went
crazy in South Topeka as told in the
State Journal Tuesday, was taken out
to BedweI's asylum for temporary con
hnement today, but he made things
lively before he went.
He first started trouble in the pro-
bate court room Immediately after his
hearing for insanity yesterday after
noon. The only trouble he had caused
during the hearing was to pick up a
paper weight and make a motion to
throw it among the spectators, but af-
ter that he subsidized and appeared so
docile that he officers thought he would
officers started to take him to the coun-
ty jail Sheriff Cook thought it best to
get a tight grip on his arm.
There were Is or 20 cOIOred people, who
had been summoned as witnesses or
who came as spectators, back near the
door. Vaughn is large, powerful
negro, and when he saw the others he
gave a wild yell and started for them.
Policeman Bundy and Deputy Sheriff
Stewart threw themselves on to him,
in addition to Sheriff Cook, but he car
ried all three of them with him
And there was scattering in hot
haste" as the poet says. Two fat col
Ored women fell over one another in
their haste to get through the door, and
another went under a table.
He'll git u.s. nell git us!" shrieked
one old woman as she madly plunged
through the frightened mass of colored
humanity.
-AAN@--
control and led him to the county jail,
but they had another tussle with him
before they escaped from his clutches
The crazy man made a lunge for the
sheriff's watch, got hold of it, pulled the
ring and stem out, and started to throw
1t across the cell, but Sheriff Cook for
tunately caught it just as it was leaV-
ing the maniac's hand. Then he got
the sheriff's arm across a bar of the
cell and tried to break it at the wrist.
Deputy Sheriff Stewart got hold of the
other side of the maniac and attracted
his attention. He let go of Sheriff Cook
and struck the deputy a blow that he
would have gone the whole length of
the cell had he not had a good grip
on the prisoners clothing. When Stew
art came to rights again he said to the
sheriff:
you got hit, didn't you?"
NO" said the sheriff, but 1 should
think you did,
They finally got loose from the crazy
man long enough to get out and get
the cell door shut Vaughn made
things lively for the rest of the prison
ers most of the night. Today he was
heavily manacled and taken out to
BedwelPs asylum in a hack. On the
way out he struck at Deputy Stewart
and made several attempts to jump
through a window of the hack. He will
be kept at BedWelPs until he can be
taken to OSaWatOmie.
