Tomorrow is the glorious fourth,
a day set aside by the fathers of
our country to glorify and make
glad over the fact that they we're
wise and strong enough to whip
Great Britain and take this fair
land out from under its control.
The day will long be remembered
by many boys whe lingeringly
hold on to the cannon cracker too
long, for they can look at their
hands and see the missing digits
that will tell them they we're once
in tact, but on 4th of July they
were blown off by too much patri-
otism. We hope none of our little
boys will act foolish and lose a fin
ger in swinging to the Sizing and
sputtering crackers. Our advice
is to let powder alone and spend
your money for ginger cake and
persimmon beer.

A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY
Boys Fall out Over Game of CrOquet.
One Is fatally cut and three are
in Jail to await a Hearing.

Yesterday two boys by the name
of Rice and Rivers, living near the
brick school house on State Line
Avenue some two miles from the
city, had misunderstanding and
showed fight. Rice pulled out
his knife and stabbed the Rivers
boy in the breast. He came into
town and gave himself up aud en-
ployed Attorney Joe Cook to defend
him. The boy that was cut is not
dead, but we learn he is mortally
wounded and is not expected to
recover. The examining trial was
postponed until the condition of the
boy is better known. The Rice boy
is fifteen years old aud the one re-
ceiving the cut is near the same
age.
Since the above we learn from
Justice B. b. Moore, that he has
issued warrants for two other boys
masters Jinks and Tom Owens as
being accessories to the cutting
affray, and they are now in Jail
The boys fell out over a game of

Apia, Samoa, March 10, via Auckland,

the Mataafa people to burn the Malie-
toa village in the island of SaVaii un-
less they sent taxes levied upon them
and a number of soldiers to support
Mataafa the British consul visited Sa-
vail on the British cruiser Porpoise and
the commander of that vessel threaten
ed to shell the villages of Mataafa's fol-
lowers if peace was disturbed.
The British and American consuls
have issued proclamationS denying the
rumors in circulation to the effect that
Mataafa had been recognized and
threatening strong action if the provis-
iOnal government interfered with the
lOyaliStS.
The German consul refused to join
with the British and American repre-
sentatives and issued a proclamation
upholding the provisional government,
and denying that there had been any in
reference by the MalietOa party. He
added to this document an extraordi-
nary paragraph expressing the hope
that the provisional government would
be able to encounter the danger caused
anew to the peace of the country and
the safety of the inhabitants by the
English and American proclamation"
This has put more heart into the rebels
and therefore numbers of armed war;

The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia, Admiral Kautz commanding, has
arrived here, and the admiral has held
extended consultations with the various
consuls, Chief Justice Chambers and
Captain Sturdee. of the Porpoise.
The provisional government has re-
moved the Malietoa prisoners to
stronghold on the mainland, firing vol
leys over their heads during the trans
fer in order to intimidate them.
A friendly feeling is shown by Off
GERS and men of the American and Brit
ish navies here. The American admiral
convened a meeting of the consuls the
chief justice and the captains of the

board the flagship and it is probable
that the result will be the presentation
of an ultimatum. 1t is generally thought

Asylum Steward Gould Not Stand the
Pressure.

When the Republican state board of
charities took charge of the state in
stitutions J. w. Tanner, steward of the
Topeka asylum was inclined to refuse
to give up his place and thought of
giving the board some difficulty by
attempting to hold on under the tenure
of office law The board brought con-
sidera BILE pressure to bear on Tanner
but he was firm, but has at last con-
cluded to give the Republicans the
spoils of victory and has placed his res
ignation in the hands of the president
of the board. Since Mr.. Tanner has had
charge of the work as steward he has
been assisted by r. S. Black of Fort
Scott who really did the work of the
steward. Mr.. Tanner by the Republi-
cans, is charged with incompetency and
one of the members said today: BLACK
has done the work. That's what
Boyle got him the place for. It's not
authorized by law but he is carried on
the payrolls as an attendant but does
