a very sad happening took
place at the home Of Mr.. G r.
Earl, on the Saunders 81 Bleser
farm ia Melrose township last
Saturday during the thunder
storm inst before noon The
three children of Mr.. Earl were
out at the pump house when the
structure was struck by light
ming, and James the eldest
child 4 lad about y years Of
age, who had his hand on the
pump handle at the time, was in
stantly killed. The two young
er children, who were standing
1T the door were uninjured.
The sad affair brought grief
to the family and friends, as the
boy was j bright, happy lad,

When it comes to betting aud
fighting and shouting at baseball
games on Sunday, that most
honorable of all games, baseball,
drops from its position at the
head Of national sports and be
comes a thing Of contempt.
Those who love the game should
not desecrate it and disgrace il by
playing it on Sunday. Any com
munity may well feel proud Of a
first class nine, that plays ball
only on week days, but nine
which desecrates the Sabbath
and disgraces the game by play
ing on Sunday can be held in no
high esteem by a lawabiding
community. It becomes an
object Of contempt and can ex-
pect no support from the citi-
zens. -Sisseton Banner.

Full Particulars of the Disaster Near

San Francisco, Feb. "Details of the
loss of the British steamer Glenavon re-

about 20 SO miles from Hong Kong on
December 20 and sank shortly after.
Chief Officer Dixon, Quartermaster
Smith, Second Steward Wilson and two
Chinese fremen persisted Capt Pithie
was on the bridge when the ship struck
and finding that she was rapidly filling
turned toward land with the object of
Bleaching her, but this he was prevented
from doing by the vessel going down
head first about half an hour after she
had struck. In the meantime boats had
been lowered and filled until three only
remained on the vessel. Captain Pithie,
Chief Officer Dixon, Quartermaster
Smith. Second Engineer Boyd and Sec
ond Steward Wilson, when they saw
that the vessel was doomed jumped
overheard. Second Steward Wilson and
Chief Officer Dixon swan for the boats
but the others made straight for the
land, which was about a mile and a
half away and after a terrible struggle
they succeeded in reaching it. Quarter
master Smith, however, SO exhausted
that he died.

body of Chief officer Dixon, who jump

HOOKAND HILLMON CASE
The New Judge to Inherit the
Chestnut of the Ages.

1t is probable that one of the first Of
fetal acts Of Judge w. c. Hook after
he takes his place on the federal bench
as district judge of Kansas will be to
try the Eillmon case-or the remnants
of it. Judge Williams was scheduled to
come to Topeka in January and set the
case for hearing, but he heard of the
cold weather here and decided to post
pone his trip. 1t is not expected that
he will come to Topeka now, and all fed
eral court matters will go over until
Judge Hook takes his seat. He will
then be called upon to fix the date for
the Hillmon case, and unless he hap
pens to be policy holder in one of the
companies and chooses to back out for
that reason, as Judge Riner did, he will
try 1t in the spring.
Judge Foster is having an inventory
made of all federal court papers in his
charge preparatory to turning the office
over to his successor.

A BILL TO STOP POSING"
BY Grafters as sThe Friend of the
People," and Other Fakes.

Just as the house was about to ad-
journ at sos last evening Representa-
tive Fairchild asked unanimous consent
to introduce a bill at that time. The
request was granted, and the following
was the bill:
BE it enacted by the legislature Of the
state of Kansas.
Section IA CRATER is hereby de-
fined to be any person who loafs around
legislative halls, without means of sup
port, seeking employment by persons or
pending before the session of the leg
islature, who associates with other
grafters" and who is induced to in
troduce bills of a prOhibitOry character,
for the purpose of extorting money and
assisting outside "grafters'' in securing
employment from intended victims.
Whenever any member of either house
asserts on the floor of the house that
any bill by him introduced was intro
duced in good faith, and not for the
purpose Of grating" as hereinafter
defined, it shall be conclusive that he is
a CRATER" Any member of either
branch who shall Introduce any bill and
thereafter send associate ''grafters" to
the intended victims advising as to his
movements is hereby declared to be a
CRATER Grating is hereby defined
to be any combination between any
member of either house and others
whereby bills are introduced for the
sole purpose of holding up persons,
firms and corporations and compelling
them to pay large sums of money to
prevent the destruction of their bust
ness and the confiscation of their prop
erty. 1t shall be prima facie evidence of
such combination when it is shown that
any member has introduced such bill
and has caused outside "grafters'' to
offer to suppress such bill for a consid-
Grafton, and if such offer is declined
then for such member thereafter to as
sert that he introduced such bill in good
faith.
Section 2 1t shall be unlawful for any
one to become CRATER or pursue the
business of grating as defined in the
preceding section of this act.
Section 8. Any one convicted of be-
ing a CRATER or following the bust
ness OF" grating shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined
not less than 80 nor more than $500,
and shall be disqualified from holding
any office of profit or trust under the
constitution and laws of this state.
The bill is, of course, a joke, but it is
claimed that it was introduced to keep
members who have introduced hold
up bills, from posing as 1.-The friends
of the people, and making speeches de-
claring that their bills were all prepar-
ed in good faith.

CITY POLITICS.
The Local Situation on the Forth
coming Election.

coming Election.
Local politicians say that the candi-
dacy of C. J. Drew, president of the
council, for mayor is growing daily in
popularity and that unless the condi-
lions change radically during the three
weeks which will ensue before the pri-
mary his victory will be easy.
The friends of the opposing candidate,
are making frantic efforts to divert the
issue from the waterworks question.
They do not discuss the extension of the
franchise of the water company, if they
can avoid it and when they do they say
that the question has been settled. An
intimate friend of Mr.. Drew said today:
THE waterworks question will not be
settled until the city is in possession of
the water plant and is operating it.
This talk about the waterworks not
being an issue is all bosh. If the people
can be caught off their guard the first
thing the people will know the fran
chiSe of the company will be extended
and the city will be helpless for twenty
years MORE
Mr. Drew said today: ct am pleased
with the situation. 1 have every reason
to feel encouraged
In connection with the contest now
going an interesting story is told
about C. L. Vanderpool, an enthusiastic
worker in local politics. He met an old
friend who is also also we'll known in
political circles who asked him how he
stood on the mayor question.
Il am for Brooks Mr.. Vanderpool
replied.
THAT is right" replied his friend. ri
am for Brooks too. The truth of the
matter is that the water company has
not been treated exactly right and
What is that?" said Mr.. Vanderpool,
changing his tone. THAT is the game is
it? 1 am glad that understand it now.
1 want to tell you right here that am
against any man whom I even suspic-
ion of standing in with the water COM
pany.'
Mr.. Vanderpool is now supporting Mr..
Drew.
The friends of the water company are
supporting candidate Brooks.
The situation in the candidacy of
councilmen remains in the main I'M

ward to oppose Councilman Mergan's
