Your loying brother, CYRUS TAYLOR.
The letter was addressed to Leroy
Taylor tho young man who recently
was member of the Goth Kansas
and was sent home on account Of
physical disability, and is now run
ming a cigar factory in the Simpson
block.
Briefly the story is as follows:
Young Taylor was recently mustered
out from the 23rd Kansas. II de.
veloped in the trial that Taylor had
been deeply in love with Helen
Desley, a young lady who lives in
this county. Monday morning
Taylor left the Foley ranch with a
Winchester rifle and went i'm fine
direction OF the Dealey LONE. VIM.
Foley noticed his absence, and fear
ing that Taylor meant mischief
mounted a horse and made race to
reach the Dealev farm before Taylor.
In this he succeeded and took the
winchester away irom the young
man, and then took him back to the
Foley ranch. Yesterday afternoon
he discovered that Taylor had taken
large dose of morphine, and be then
brought him to Hutchinson to get
medical aid.
Before taking the drug Taylor
wrote four letters which he handed
to Thomas Foley to mail. The letters
were read in court.
The unfortunate youth showed al
inclination to mental uns blindness
and suicide several years ago and de
clared himself tired of life. He was
tried for insanity before jury i'm the
Probate Court of Hutchinson Satur
day but no decision reached and &
new jury was called.

the following graphic account Of the
Twentieth in the battle of the fifth:
The Twentieth Kansas certainly
earned an enviable reputation ae
scrappers OF the first order. Capt.
Clarke, of Company H., was officer of
the day at the outpost and immedi-
ately after the attack on the Nebras-
ka outpost his guard was attacked.
Capt. Clarke quickly rallied the guard
and firing yolley after volley kept
back the insurgents until after the ar
rival of reinforcements which soon ar
rived consisting of the Utah light ar
tillery and eight companies ofthe 10Th
Kansas.
Quickly the line was formed on the
left of the position held by the third
artillery with Companies G.. II. l aud
G. on the firing line. The line opened
fire at 10 minutes Of O'Clock and
heavy volley firing WIS kept up for
more than three hours. At daylight
! firing was resumed and the iusurgent
fire was returned with good effect.
Desultory firing was the order until
at 10 O'Clock Col. Funston gave the
order for an advance. The reserve
companies came up to the firing line
and advancing crossed the Lecho
road, beyond the church, where a

insurgent fire was returned in numer-
Gus volleys.
Following an order to charge the
enemies position the command adj
vanced facing a heavy fire crossing
the open with yell firing as they adj
vanced driving the insurgents from
one clearing to another until the river
was reached. The insurgents did not
stop here but retreated to the out
works near the insurgent guard house.
The Kansans quickly followed with
an impetuous charge through the mar.
row fortified opening across the
bridge.
General MacA rthur's orderly rode
up with orders for Col Funston to
move his command back 900 yards
as he was that distance beyond the
main firing line. Col. Funston pro-
tested against any retreat but the or
der to fall back was given and the re-
treat was made IN the midst of hot

improve the advantage as they might
have done, but fearing some catch

HUMAN WILD BEASTS.

The she wolf that sucked Remus and
ton Of the imperial city upon it's seven
hills, had more humanity in her veins
than the savages of Newman, Georgia,
who have advertised their beastly in
stincts to the world. Undoubtedly, the
colored victim of their f~erocity deserved
death. His double crime of murder and
rape called for the speedy vengeance Of
the law. Had he been hanged or shot to
death by the excited populace, the crime
of the public might have been to some ex-
tent mitigated by the enormity of the
offense that provoked it.
But when nearly 1000 people convert
the execution of a human brute into an
opportunity to display their w evil in
stincts by mutilating their victim, it is
time to call a halt in the name of civiliza-
ton and the law. Not only was this
negro fiend mutilated in a manner, that
would have brought a blush to the har-
dened cheek of a c%annibal, but after this
was done, and the life burned out of him
at the stake, his bones and the fagots that
constituted his funeral pyre were
hungrily sought after as souvenirs Of
that horrible day of vag }
This course of procedure is justified in
the south on the theory that it will alone
place a check upon crime. But does it
Negroes have been lynched and shot and
mutilated and burned at the stake, yet
the crimes for which they suffered are
repeated from time to time. Death is an
appropriate legal remedy, but in adding
to it's horrors no check is placed upon
some other half crazy brute in whose
veins the fires of hell run riot with his
reason and his fears.
Some other means than torture must
be devised to meet conditions in the south.
The scene at Newman will add fuel to the
coming race war in southern states, for
the colored man who respects the law and
lives up to the precepts Of good citizen
ship cannot look upon such exhibitions
of upon even the most fiendish
of his race without feeling called upon to
rebel against them.

WILD BIRD.

A most extraordinary instance of the
tameness of birds in UNEMPLOYED forests
is related by a writer in the National
Geographic magazine, describing a tour
of exploration to the headWaterS of the
Saskatchewan.
AS our horses were winding through a
deep forest, a bird appeared which re-
sembled a pine bullfinch, fitting from tree
to tree and following us closely. Some
later it gave the most rem;, rkable
seen. Having ollowed US for about two
miles, it waited in a tree during the bus
tie and confusion of making camp, but in
the afternoon, when all was quiet and
some of our men We're asleep, the bird be-
came exceedingly familiar, walking on
the ground near us and finally perching
on our extended hands. 1t was soon evil
dent that the object Of our visitor was to
eaten mosquitoes, which were lowering
IN sWarms around our heads. 1t pecked
at a ring on my hand. at our needles, and
IN fact any metal article, but the climax
was reached when by accident the bird
saw It's own image in a small booking
glass which lay on the ground. Then,
with extended wings and open bill, it ut
tered cries of rage and pecked madly at
the glass in which al. enemy appeared.
Among the %solitudes of mountain forests,
squirrels, finches and whiskyjacks often
show unusual confidence in man, but this
particular instance is remarkable, be-
cause the bird would alight on our per-
sons even after it had been ~momentarily
though gently detained several times as
a prisoner in my hand.

ALWAYS KEEP COOL.

Tit-Bits: John Morrison, a successful
commercial traveller, has spent a great
par # his career in hotels, and one of
his tle ,ries has been that the mind can
be s. trained that a hotel fire ought not
to distract the reasoning faculties when
persence Of mind is needed. He i'm
pressed this theory strongly upon Mrs.
Morrison by ~instructing her how to act
if they were ever in a hotel that was on
fire.
He and his wife were aroused from
their slumbers one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their rooms
was on fire, and there was great con-
fusion and tumult among the guests.
Now is the time to put into practice
what 1 have always preached to you,
my DEAR said the gentleman. Don't
get excited. Put on all your in~dispensa-
BILE apparel and take your time. Don't
lose your head. Just watch me-"
He Gained Mrs. Morrison's anxiety,
handed her the articles necessary to her
toilet, put on his collar and cuffs, took
his watch from under his pillow and
placed it in his pocket, put on his hat and
walked with Mrs. Morrison out of the
burning building into the street.
Now, my DEAR" he said, when they
were safe, don't you see what a grand
thing it is to keep cool and act with a
deliberate purpose in an emergency like
this. Here % are dressed, and over
yonder are several women in complete
deshabille.''
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband.
'You are right, John" she said. ut is

erately, but If I had been you l would
have stayed in the room long enough to

LITTLE KOREA.

An evidence Of Uncle Sans ability to
meet the worlds every need is The fact
that he supplies several governments
with postal stamps. 1t has recently be-
come known that the Korean stamps are
printed in this country. The United
States consular reports describes them as
of four denominations n all alike eX-
cept in color and value. In the center is
the national emblem. an ancient Chinese
phallic DEVICE: at the corners of the CEN
terpiece are four characters, signifying
the spirits that, Atlas like, uphold the
earth, while in each corner of the stamp is
a plum blossom, the royal flower of the
present Ye dynasty, which has held the
throne more than five hundred years.
Each stamp bears inscriptions in three
languages-Chinese, Korean an Eng
lish. At the top are ancient Chinese char
acters and at the bottom their Korean
equivalents. On the right are Korean
characters and on the left Chinese, giving
the denominations, while just below the
center is their English translation.

the leaders of both wings of the Montana
democracy are in it clear up to their
chins!
The pot cannot call the kettle black.
The leaders of the Clark wing M the
leaders of the anti-Clark wing are in the

a democracy, when it comes to the
question of carrying elections or controll-

trust.
Hereafter. the Montana democrat who
echoes the cry of William Jennings
Bryan against trusts will be so effectual-
ly smashed that he will not make a po-
litical grease spot upon the pages of Mon
tana history. 1t was quite natural for
leading democratic newspapers to delude
the people with the antitrust cry, in or
der to defect their attention from what
was going on: but hereafter not a chirrup
will be warbled from the time-serving
machinery of the democratic press.
Had the Clark men. on the one hand, or
the anti-Clark men. on the other hand,
