The Conspiracy Failed.

Once upon u time there lived in
Leavenworth the late Len T. Smith,
whom all old timers remember, and
General Powell Clayton. Smith was
in New York one day when he was APP
preached by a chap who Said he had
on the string rich friend from Cuba,
who was anxious to start 4 big faro
game and wanted him to deal for
him. He proposed to Smith that he
would take up the offer-Smith should
tackle the game and he would cooper
Rte with Smith, so that together they
could rob the Cuban of $4,000.
Smith sent up stairs for Clayton and
told him what the gambler had pro-
posed. All three started out to see the
Cuban, and they found him surround
ed-by everything refreshing that mon
ey could buy. Smith and Clayton ate
and drank and drove and went to the
theater and had all sorts of fun at the
Cuban's expense for three or four
days, all the time having under con-
sideration the proposed conspiracy.
Finally, when they were through
with their business In New York, they
thanked the gamblers for their hos
pitality and suggested that they look
for suckers elsewhere than from
among frontiersmen from Kansas. 1t
was estimated that the gamblers spent
at least $1,000 entertaining their in
tended victims.-Kansas City Journal.

He ran to an adjacent house and bor-
rowed a lamp, with which he returned

Indiana Coal Operator Tired of Guards
Who Sympathize with Strikers.
Evansville, Ind, Aug. 4.-In an in
terview Captain John Ingle says that
he does not believe the coal miners
strike will end before fall, if then, and
he asserts that the operators propose
to run their mines, even If it takes the
entire militia company to do so. THE
reason 1 ordered the deputy sheriffs
away from my mine,' said he, was be-
cause they are in sympathy with the
strikers and are doing me no good.
They permit small boys to gather at
the mines, and my men are melted to
violence The officers have been with
Mr.. Dilcher all through this thing, and
i do not propose to have union smypa-
thizers guarding my mine"
The general opinion is that the back
bone of the strike is broken, and that
the operators will continue to run their
mines with non-union men until the
union diggers are willing to accept a
compromise The situation at the
Blackburn mines in Pike county is Sc
rious- S. w Little. of this city, who
owns the mines, has appealed to Sher-
III Ridgeway, of Pike county, for pro-
lection. He is determined to operate
his mine with non-unionists, and the
union men persist in saying that this
will not be permitted The two men
who were assaulted at the mine are
out of danger, although still under
treatment in a hospital at Petersburg.

the Ingle coal mine, is Disguised with
the situation here and .gill invest in

ANYTHING which refreshes the
memory of the conditions out of
which our laws were developed,
or of the lives and character of
the founders of legal institutions
is both becoming and desirable,
and it is singular that rude sug-
gestions should be made in states
where court dresses are begin
ming to be adopted that they are
badges of old aristOcratic insti-
tutions and undemOcratic. De-
mocracy is not necessarily con-
tempt for order, regularity and
decorum in society, or for those
occupying positions therein, nor
yet for high ideals i'll law, litera-
ture or government. \ jealousy
of having positions honored and
respected and which would level
every distinction into the slough
of vulgarity does not represent
true democracy. Such a sentl-
ment as that would declare on
the authority of the declaration
"that all men are created equal
that all were equal in ability, IN

cations, and in respect of every.
thing else.
