TO CHECK PRAIRIE FIRES.
Extreme Western Counties Organize
to Protect the Range.

Grainfield, June S.-There has been
organized in Cove county, the business
men of Grainfield taking the initiatory
steps, the anti-prairie fire association
of western Kansas. The purposes for
which it is started is to detect and
convict any and all persons who may
set, start and permit any prairie fires
to burn over the country contrary to
the laws of the state, and the organi-
cation pledge its best efforts and inf1u-
ence to the upbuilding of a healthy
public sentiment faVOra BILE to this work
so important to the future of this sec
ton of state in which the people have
chosen their home.
The thoughtless, reckless, not to say
criminal habit of some persons is de-
nOunced, such persons being named.
that they must refrain from setting out
and letting fires get beyond their con-
troll.
Col s. S. Reynolds. of Grainfield, who
has been a frontiersman for nearly 80
years in Nebraska and Kansas, is one
of the foremost men in the organiza-
ton. He is a firm believer that hot
winds originate in the immediate local
ity where the prairie fires have been
the most widespread. When the cat
tie men had control of Cove and other
western Kansas counties, hot winds
were rare if ever known in the opinion
of Col. Reynolds, but since immigra-
ton has settled on the prairieS and the
homesteader has burned them off, hot
winds and drouth have been more fire.

Years Decorated the Grave of
Another's Infant

Philadelphia, June s-For twelve years
Mrs. Mary McNabb, who lives at 4s14
Greenway street, West Philadelphia, has
kept fresh flowers over a grave in St.
AIMS cemetery, where she believed her
baby daughter Clara lay buried. Early
this morning she discovered her daugh-
ter, grown almost to a woman, and living
in Kensington with a man and woman
whom the girl looked upon as her father
and mother.
Fourteen years ago Mrs. McNabb. who
was then the widow of one Brown. found
herself unable to support her two chill
dren, Maggie and Clara and she put them
both in St Nincent's home. In 1887. when
Mrs. Brown became Mrs. McNabb she
went to the home to claim her children,
and was given possession of Maggie, but
dead.
Now she has found Clara living as the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew
Stringer of 31O9 Weymouth street Ken
sington- Mrs. Stringer admits that she
took the child from st. Vincent's home
and adopted her some time in 1887. Mrs
McNabb has sued for possession of the
child.

LESSON FROM THE TRUSTS.

IFrom the New York JournaI1
On June 1 all but one-tenth of the
mills in the window glass trust shut
down indefinitely. On June 30 the re-
mainder of the mills will close. This
throws out of work II. 900 skilled work
men.
Here is good example of the opera
tons of trusts There is now no COM
petition in the making of window
glass. If the members of this combine
were individual manufacturers they
could not afford to let their good work
men go, because they could not get
them back But now the temptation
to restrict production and advance
prices is too great to be resisted, and
the workmen are sacrificed.
These 1900 discharged employees can
not turn at once to other fields of labor,
even if places were waiting for them.
Thev are skilled in the business of
making window glass, but the greed of
a trust prevents them from earning a
living.
These worlxmen and their families
must suffer that larger dividends NAV
be paid on the watered stock of the
window glass trust
