All the talk about peanut shortages, de-

the whole United States and many of the

planters have had far less rain than they

ENGLISH INFANTRY.
[Conan Doyle in The Cornhill. ]

LCOndn Doyle IN me COFnh1lI.
Our infantry has shown itself to be as
good as ever it was The generals have
WINGED long before the soldiers have
done SO, and whether it was in such ad-
vances as those of Talana Hill and
Elandslaagte, or in such passive accept
ance Of punishment as at Spion Kop or
Modder river, they have shown all their
old qualities of dash and steadiness.
Their spirit was extraordinarily good.
I do not know where in our military his
tory we can match the fact that the
troops who were hurled backward at
Colenso in December, who We're cut to
pieces at Spion Kop in January, who
were driven off Vaalkrantz early in
February, were the same men who went
roaring over the Boer intrenchments in
the last week of that month. Nothing
could demoralize or even dishearten
them. AS to their patient endurance
of pain and of hardship, one could not
be witness of it in the hospitals with
out a higher Sense of the dignity of
human nature. Their marching was
unexpectedly good. With burdens Of
forty pounds, they covered their twenty
miles a day with ease, and on occasion
they rose to greater efforts. The forty
miles done by the guards before B1oem-
fOntein. and the marching of Yule'S re-
firing column, of the Queenslanders and
Canadians who Joined Plumer before the
relief of Mafeking. and of the Shrop-
shires and G. v. is in the attempt to
head off De Wet, were all very fine per-
forrnanceS

The Nerve of a Horse Thief

L
Charles Wilkins, now liz jail at Ed
wardsville, Ill. a confessed horsethief
spent the three days prior to his arrest
IS the guest of John West. a Hveryman
OF that town, who had been looking for
him everywhere but at home.
For downright audacity and 0ut-and-
out nerve" wilkins performance caps
anything ever done ia this section of the
country; there are some who favor set
ting him free, on the ground that it's a
shame TO confine such genius behind
bars
Now that the story has been com
pleted by the culprit, it seems remark
able that he escaped arrest 50 long; but
up to few hours before the confession
every detail seemed surrounded by an
impenetrable fog OF uncertainty.
on October 3 Louis Hess, Of Mitchell,
Madison county, reported that some one
had carried off his best horse. Next
morning the animal was purchased in
COllinsVilIe, by J. A. Owens, to whom
the seller represented himself as a horse
trader A lew hours later Owens learned
that he had bought a stolen horse, and
word was sent in all directions, with
minute descriptions OF the thief
Police Chief Barnsback of Edwards
vile, suspected that the thief was head
ed towards his town. and told John
West, the local liveryman, to keep a
sharp lookout for him West was fur
nished a good description of the fugitive
and promised to keep his eye peeled
A day or so later Wilkins, who had
formerly worked for West blew into
town and put up at the home of his
friend. West entertained him with true
Ldwardsville hospitality and told him
about the man he was looking for.
Wilkins seemed interested and said the
thief must be pretty smooth to escape
capture in such a pOpulous community.
He even went SO far as to offer to help
watch for the culprit, and took notes
from the memorandum that West car
ried in his pocket for reference.
After three days Wilkins babe his
former employer adieu and told him he
was going up to Old Ripley, 4 nearby
village. to visit his folks
The next day Owens, the victim had
business in Edwardsville, and called on
West They talked over the theft. and
Owens gave a complete verbal descrip-
ton of the thief. Then West woke up
and realized that Wilkins was the man
he had been looking for. The next step
was a telegram to the sheriff of Bond
county, and within a few hours word
came back that Wilkins had been ar
rested at Old Ripley.
When the prisoner was brought back
TO F-dwardsvilIe and thrown in Jail West
called on him Wilkins smilingly con
1essed that he was the man wanted and
cOmplimenteG the caller on his astute-
ness. He said, furthermore. that this
was his first experience at horse stealing
and that he did not wonder that the
business had thrived so in recent years
His manner implied that he thought tbs
Madison county officials dead easy"

1t Appears to Have Killed the
Railroad Agitation.
For the First Time In Many
Years They Are Out.
ORATORS sAIDNOTHING
Apparently Forgot All About
These Corporations.
Maximum Rates No Longer the
Paramount Issue.

The election of 1900 in Kansas is at
hand. the campaign closes without
single reference, by either Of the parties
interested, to the subject Of railroad leg
islation, for SO many years the para
mount issue in this state
For quarter of a century the poll
ticians have been promising relief to
those who allege extortion and unfair
treatment by the railroad corporations
This chapter has been written by Repub-
licans and Democrats
IN 1880 there came a new party, the
cardinal principle of which was down
with the corporations and the rail
roads,
Both are stin doing business in the
same old names and in the same old
way.
This party later adopted as a slogan
maximum rates" This was killed by a
legislature controlled by the party advo-
eating it.
Then came a demand for legislation,
in response to which Governor Leedy,
two years ago, after being defeated Tor
reelection. convened the legislature IN
special session The law, secured at an
expense Of SIS, 600 has since been declared
unconstitutional and, in view OF prevl-
Gus agitation, the unanimlty with when
all parties alike have since ignored the
campaign-is something very remark
able.
For the first time in many years the
anti-railroad sentiment has been kept
corked-up and everybody in the cam
paign for the Republicans Democrats,
PopulistS and Silver Republicans, mas
been riding on passes
Some of the fusionists, early in the
campaign, made occasional references to
the subject. but soon after hostilities OPP
ened all along the line the railroads be
came magnaninoUS and the pass list
grew voluminous at once.
Immediately the anti-railroad senti-
Inent disappeared and the advocates of
stringent legislation have been expend-
ing their energies on other paramount
issues.
The managers of the campaign and
the candidates explain that the party
platform is clear on this point, but they
have not discussed the subject All Of
the speakers have occupied themselves
IN wading through the details of sub
jects. in which there was no danger Of
cutting off free transportation privi-
