WAR MEANS BLooDsHED.

"a gentleman at Mcpherson, Kan.
who signs: Philip Wickersham. second
vice president -imperialist league of
Kansas" has sent the following COM
munication to the State Journal:
You newspaper fellows want a
butcher to send to the Philippines. Why
not send WeyIer? Spain has no use for
him now, and backed by the army and
navy Of the United States he could
slaughter to his hearts content, and no
nation would dare call him off in the
name of humanity. Send Weyler, the
butcher
The criticism in the foregoing is evil
IDENTIFY directed at those who believe
that it is no more inhuman to kill a
thousand men in one battle, than it is
to kill 100 q month for a period of ten
months.
War is brutal at best but it appears
that humanity has not yet become suf-
hoiently Christ like to get along with
out it,
War is inaugurated with the under
standing that killing people is one of
the unavoidable attendant circumstan-
ces. There is no greater folly than go
ing to war with gloves on. The news
paper fellows are not advocating the
slaughter of more people, but desire
that what necessary killing there is to
be done, be accomplished as quickly as
possible.
Gen. Sherman proved that he had the
right idea, when he made his famous
march to the sea. He left no induce
ments for the enemy to return and re-
occupy the country. The newspaper
fellows" are DESTROYS of seeing a man
like Sherman command in the Philip
pines.
Weyler was not that kind of man.
He was not even entitled to be called
a butcher" He starved people to
death The Weyler method has no place
In war If the war in the Philippines
is to be a peaceful and bloodless one.
then all the soldiers may. as well come
home. If peace is to be established by
fierce of arms, then the sooner it is done
the better and the less disastrous to
human life.

State Senator Pritchard Wants Popu-
list, Democrats and Silver Re-
publicans to Unite.

Hill City, Aug. 4.-Levi Pritchard, of
Graham county, state senator of the
Thirty-fourth district having been men
toned favorably for congress in the
Sixth district by several journals,
thanks them kindly, and suggests here
after that they will not mention his
name in the future for any Office at the
next general election.
He suggests. however that the nomi-
nation for state senator for the Thirty
fourth district in the next POpulist con-
vention be given to a Democrat, and
the congressional nomination be given
to the Peoples party. He believes that
the silver Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis should have recognition by the
POpulist party in the counties of north
west Kansas at the coming fall cleo
ton, and he says it is the duty of all
reformers to drop all personal prejudice
and use their whole influence to unite
on one common ticket.

THE PRISON BIRD.

TFrom the New York Press
In the Paris Museum of Natural His
tory at present the center of interest
is the only living captive specimen of
what African explorers have called the
prison Bird The popularity of this
feathered beauty is that he is the most
tyrannical and jealous of husbands,
imprisoning his mate throughout her
nesting time. Livingston watched the
birds habits while in Monpour, and in
his subsequent observations referred to
the nest as prison and the female bird
as a slave.
The nest is built in the hollow of
tree through an opening in the bark. As
soon as it is completed the mother bird
enters carefully and fearfulIy, and set
ties down in it. Then papa walls up
the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass
through He keeps faithful guard and
brings food at regular intervals with

enforced retirement. But if the prison
bird is killed, or in any other way pre-
vented from fulfilling his duties, the
mother and her little ones must die of
starvation, for she cannot free herself
from bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts I'M
til the chicks are old enough to fly.

Strange Story OF Tramp and
a Missing Nan.

of Chas. Norton
WHO LEFT HIS HOME
at Lawrence Last February to
Visit a Sister.
Wife and Children Given Some
Queer Information.

Lawrence. Aug. last February
Charles Norton left this city ostensibly
to pay a visit to his daughter who
lived at Linden, Clay county, Missouri.
He has not been heard from since. He
left Lawrence the 3rd day Of the month
intending to visit Kansas City first. He
was about so years old.
Today his wife and five children were
informed, it is said. by a tramp who
came to beg a meal that the husband
and father was frozen to death in Kan
sas City last February. Without giving
further details the tramp disappeared.
Word was at once sent to Kansas
City and a hurried search of the cor
oner's records show that two men were
frozen to death in Kansas City last
winter. One was man about 80 years
old, who was picked up in the railroad
yards at Nineteenth and Wyoming
streets on the night of February 9. His
body was not identified. His dress and
description, however, do not answer
that given of the missing Kansan. The
other was an old resident of Kansas
City, who was frozen to death one Sun
day in the early part of March in
cabin in the West bottoms.
Who the tramp was or where he got
his information remains a mystery.

Elmer Underwood Arrested Under
Charge of Assault Compromised
Matters

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 4-The mar
riage of Elmer Underwood to Rosa
Thompson, 16-year-old girl, was
solemnized yesterday afternoon in the
county Jail.
Underwood was arrested about
week ago on the charge of criminal as
sault. He was locked up in the county
Jail, and was to have been given a pre-
liminary hearing Thursday before
Judge DonOhO. While he had been be-
hind the bars only a short length of
time, he arrived at the conclusion that
a. married man out of jail enjoyed more
liberties than a single man locked up
in q steel cell, and he solicited an i2
terview with his accuser. The ThonS)-
son girl, accompanied by her parents,
called at the jail yesterday morning,
and a wedding was arranged. County
Attorney Enright consented to dismiss
the criminal proceedings begun against
Underwood providing he became the
husband of the girl.
A marriage license was speedily Sc
cured and Judge Donoho, who issued
the warrant for Underwood's arrest,
was employed to perform the wedding
ceremony.

ABOVE PAR.
New Bonds of Mexico at a Premium
In Europe.


Mexico City, Mex, Aug. 4.-The new
5 per cent bonds, converted debt, were
quoted above par at Amsterdam today.
The news created a very favorable feel
ing here, for it had not been anticipated
that the per cents would go quick
ly above par in Europe, although the
old 6 per cents had for long time COM
manded a premium. The silver debt
of this country is now held wholly in
Europe, being distributed in France,
Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy and
Spain, and these bonds having been
purchased at a low price give excellent
interest, and now with the improved
price European investors, VINO are
mostly small capitalists, are well salts
fed with the profit they have made in
addition to the good interest received
on their money.
1t has been impossible at times to
supply the active European demand for
Mexican silver securities, which repre-
sent what is called the internal debt.
Bankers here who have made a study
of the revenue conditions predict that
the customs revenues will next year in
crease fully IS per cent over the hand
some total of the past fiscal year. A
large amount of foreign capital is be-
ing invested in lands and mines, and
activity in taking up claims for gold
and copper properties is noticeable. The
number IS without precedent IN the
mining history of this country. Much
English capital is now coming in, and
it is more judiciously invested than in
former years, as the English have
learned by experience to rely only on
competent expert testimony as to the
value of properties.
Secretary Chamberlain, British min
lister for the colonies, has agreed to
subsidize a railway in British Honduras
to connect with the road through Yucca
tan, where the government is putting
the Indian tribes to work on lands al
loted to their members in severalty. A
project for a standard gauge road from
this city through to British Honduras
is now under discussion in London. It
would be a formidable undertaking, but
it is believed by its projectors that it
would open up a great extent of al
most virgin territory unsurpassed for
fertility within the borders of the re-
public.
