When he dabbled in city politics the

The state military board has disban-
ded the companies of the K. N. G. at
Clyde, Norton and Kansas City, Kan.
These companies at the recent inspec-

it was decided to muster them out for
the good of the service.
New companies will be mustered in
from Wichita and Hutchinson but the
vacancy at Kansas City will be permit

This company was formerly located at

A Chicago sailor boy who was
gunner on the Indiana in the late war
caused his mother a good deal of wor-
ry for a few days after he got home.
He is a good fellow, and has many
friends who fastened around to greet
him as soon as his arrival was made
known. The first few nights after his
return he retired early with the ex-
cuse that he was tired and wanted to
rest. But his mother, while straighten-
ing up his room on the second morning,
discovered with alarm that the bed had
not been slept in. She asked him where
he had been the night before, and as he
said, 'Why, at home, of courSe" she
did not mention her fears, but decided
to keep a watch on his room for fear
that he might be stealing out when the
family slept to meet his old friends and
cronies.
After dinner he kept the family inter
ested with stories of the war, and at
o'clock he yawned and said he guess
ed he'd go below"
His mother bade him good night and
he went to his room. After a few min
utes she followed and found the door
of the room half open, but stretched
from the transom of the door to the
head of the bed was a hammock, and
in it the young hero was snoring as

Four Wounds by One Bullet.

IFrom the N. o. Times-Democrat.1
Private Julian Lane of the Thirteenth
infantry, which participated in the
heavy fighting at Santiago, has been
spending a few days in this city on
sick leave visiting relatives. Lane was
wounded four times in the engagement
of July l and the surprising part of 1t
is that all four wounds were received
at the same time from the same bull
let.
I'VE were driving the Spaniards from
the last trenches on the hilltOpS over
looking the city, he said, in telling the
story, land the nature of the ground
made it impossible to charge in any
thing like formation. So we went at 1T
in rushes by handfuls, taking cover
between times as best we could L had
dropped behind a palm tree in one of
the pauses and was lying on my left
side, with my right leg bent at the
knee and drawn up. 1 was just reach
ing for a cartridge, when along came
a Mauser ball and passed through my
hand, between the thumb and index
finger, without breaking any bones.
Keeping on it made flesh wound on
my right hip, went through my calf
and took off the end of my third toe,
making as clean a hole in the sole OF
my brogan as if it had been drilled
with an auger.
Il felt a sudden shock" continued
Lane, "as if L had received a charge
from an electric battery, but no partic-
ular pain-at least not then In fact,
it took me some time to inventory my
wounds, and l didn't know had lost
a piece of toe until 1 took off my shoe
and found it full of blood. tried to
get up, but the contraction of the mus
cles was too severe and L had to lie
still. One of the boys tied me up with
a bandage from my 'first-aid package
and I crawled under cover and lay
there for eight hours before the doc
tor got a chance to examine me. L
suffered a great deal, but 1 got the
best attention there was to be had
and was treated with the utmost kind
ness. AS you may see by the scar on
NV right hand the Mauser makes a
very small wound and I bled hardly
at all except for the wound on my toe.
One of my comrades was shot clean
through the chest and was out in five
days. The only really ugly wounds
that were made were when the bullet
had hit something else first and came
side-on- In such cases they tore man
all to pices.''

PARENTAGE in DOUBT.
Georgia Witness Says Railroads
Are PrOgenitOrs of the
Trusts.

Washington, June 19.-The Industrial
commission has somewhat changed its
plan for the work of the sub-commis-
sions during the summer months by re-
vOking it's order for the appointment of
special commissions to investigate the
elevator trust and the mining industry
west of the Mississippi river and in
stead authorizing all the regular sub
commissions to sit during July and
August. Under this arrangement the
agricultural commission will take up
the elevator question, going to the
northwestern states for this purpose,
and the mining commission Will go west
for the purpose of looking into the con-
ditiOns affecting mining in that region.
The latter commission will hold its first
meeting in Denver on the 18th of July.
The sub-commission on manufacturers
will make tour of New England dur
ing the summer.
James Barrett, vice president of the
Georgia State Agricultural society,
was the only witness before the COM
mission today. He spoke upon the agri-
cultural conditions in the south, saying
they were worse today than they had
ever been in the history of the country.
He said the cotton interest was eSpec-
tally depressed, prices last year amount
ing to little over four cents a pound.
At this price man could not save
himself if he had wages amounting to
more than SO a month. Planters gen.
orally pay about Sc month for wages,
(
vent loss if they received less than six
cents per pound.
Mr.. Barrett said that nine-tenths OF
the cotton grown was mortgaged be-
fore it matured. Rates of interest and
commission were high and the mer-
chants were gradually coming into pos
session of the land. The banks charge
10 per cent for money for three months
time. He advanced the idea that the
national bank act had done vast dam
age in outlawing real estate as security
for money loaned to these banks and
that all told this act was to the south
the most damaging legislation that had
ever been enacted. The witness said
that nearly all the plantation labor was
done by negroes, and that there was
practically no immigration because of
the cheapness of labor and the social
conditions.
The railroad rates We're such as to
render it impossible to make water
melon growing profita BILE and the same
was true of other garden products.
THE railroads are both the daddy
and the nanny of the trusts" he as
serted.
Mr. Barrett said the census of 1890
had shown that Augusta, where he lives
was the most illiterate place in the
United States and he thought this fact
was due to the presence of too much
politics in the schools.

ALWAYS IN TROUBLE
Wyandotte County In Middle Over
Assessment

Wyandotte county has appealed to the
governor to secure the cooperation of
the attorney general in a, fight over
taxation in that county. The assessors
have been applying two or three rules
to the valuations and it is claimed that
the assessment is inequitable to every
taxpayer.
The citizens are making an effort to
secure an increase in the valuation of
personal property and are talking of
bringing mandamus proceedings.
Judge Holt of the court of common
pleas has already issued an order di-
recting the commissioners to equalize
the corporation property assessment
and the commissioners are likely to
confront another order from the court
with reference to the personal property.
Wyandotte county, has had more
trouble over assessment and taxation
than any town in the state because the
assessors permit thousands of dollars
worth of corporation property to es-
cape taxation annually and the wage
