Weber family was tortured with the
thought of their son among strangers
suffering from wounds and in want for
the necessities of life. The city officials
have been troubled with inquiries every
week from letters of this kind, and they
were interested, for the good name of the
city, in suppressing it.
Had Hunt gone to the chiefs office
as requested and told his story, he would
have been given the opportunity to clear
himself of guilt before being brought to

crime by his assault upon the officer and
by his asking for the letter addressed to
Andrew Thomas. He will be arrested
and prosecuted upon this charge"
According to Mr. Meyer, who boards at
the house where Hunt has been employed,
the young man has a genius for letter
writing 1t is stated that he wrote let
tiers purporting to come from young ladies
asking young men for money and, in fact,
making all kinds of extravagant and Pc
culiar requests. He was always writing

CANNOT TAX JUDGMENTS
Supreme Court RuIes Law Unconsti
tutiOnaE

Last spring Treasurer Lloyd advertised
and sold large number of judgments on
which the taxes had not been paid. This
was done in accordance with the law of
1897, making judgments taxable, as other
personal property. Now thelaw has been
declared unconstitutional, and all the
work of that sale may have to be gone
over again and made right. The decision
declaring the law unconstitutional was
handed down by the supreme court at
Topeka the other day, and is one of the
most important decisions promulgated
within a year. It is said the chief justice
and the two associates were unanimous
in the decision.

Grain Trade of the Present.
The compilers of the information con-
tained In the Monthly Summary of Com
merce and Finance, for January. have
made 1t plain that the internal grain trade
OF the United States, as II exists at pres
ent. Is of comparatively recent develop
ment. In early times both the foreign
and Internal grain trade of this country
were of small proportions and of compare
tive insigniflcance. From the earliest Pc
Rod traces are found of an occasional
movement of the cereals or of -four from
the American colonies, but such commerce
was of little importance. During the
eighteenth century small surplus of
grain was shipped. the exports consisting
of wheat and -four from the northern and
OF Indian corn from the southern states,
The principal markets being found in
Spain. Portugal and the West Indies. The
export of large quantities of grain to
Great Britain is of comparatively recent
development, and as late as 1s04 the ship
ments from the United States to that
country amounted to less than $60, 900. Dur
Ing this early period the chief articles
or export among cereal products was
wheat flour, OF which only s4s,0 900 was
exported from 1920 to 1929. During the
same period the export of Indian cornmeal
amounted to less than 81 100. co., OF Indian
corn to 81. 10000 and of wheat to but $780,
900. The comparative insignihcatce of this
Sexportation of the cereal products may be
more clearly seen when compared with the
exports of cotton during the same period
If S240,0O00O0. or over four times the total
exports of cereals and cereal products
The popularity of this foreign COM
merce in grain, as also In the internn,
commerce OF the same commodity, was the
preponderance in the transportation Of
the finished rather than the raw product
The more portable and more valuable COM
modify, flour, was exported to a far larger
degree than was wheat. and Indian corn
was also shipped in large quantities
The authors of this monthly summary
say that 1.-THE comparative insignificance Of
the grain traffic, both domestic and for
eign. must be attributed chiefly to the
imperfect means of transportation exist
ing at that period. Settlements which at
first closely Rugged the Atlantic shore had
steadily mounted the Hudson and other
rivers as far as they we're navigable, but
the absence OF any efficient means of
transportation by land prevented rapid
development of the inland country. hail
roads had not then been invented, canals
were but slowly developing and transpor-
taton by the highways was expensive IN
the extreme"

CAPTURE OF CHARLES i.
The Kings UnavniIing Flight to ca
risbrooke Castle.

The flight of Charles I. from Hampton
Court to the Isle Of Wight, and his arrest
and transfer 10 Windsor Castle. are de-
scribed in the May Century in the seventh
of Mr.. Morley's Cromwell papers.
We now know that Charles fed from
Hampton Court because he had been told
by the Scottish ENJOYS, as well as from
other quarters that his life was in danger.
but without any more fixed designs than
when he had fled from oxford in April of
the previous year. He seems TO have ar
ranged to take the ship from Southampton
Water, but the vessel never came. and he
took refuge in Carisbrook Castle, in the
Isle of Wight November II. 1640.
Charles might possibly even at the
eleventh hour, have made his escape, but
he still nursed the illusion that the army
could not crush the parliament without
him. He had moreover, given his parole.
When reminded that he had given il, not
to the army, but TO the parliament, his
somber pride for once withstood a seph-
ism. At break of the winter day (Decem-
Der g. a body of officers broke into the
chamber. put him into a coach, conducted
him to the coast and then transported him
across the Solent to Hurst Castle, a DESC
late and narrow blockhouse standing at
the edge of a shingly spit on the Hamp-
shire shore. In these dreary quarters lie
remained for a fortnight. The last scene
was now rapidly approaching of the des-
perate drama in which every one of the
ectors-king parliament, army, Cromwell
was engaged in a death struggle with
implacable necessity.
On December Is the council of officers
determined that Charles should be
brought to Windsor, and Fairfax sent
orders accordingly. In the depth of tho
winter night the king in the desolate keep
on the sea-shingle heard the clanking of
the drawbridge, and at daybreak he
learned that the redoubtable Mai Harri-
son had arrived. Charles well knew how
short a space divides the prison of
prince from his grave. He had often re-
volved in his mind sad stories of the
death of kings"-of Henry VI, of Edward
H., murdered at Berkeley, of Richard
II. at Pontefract. of his grandmother at
Fotheringay-and he thought that the
presence OF Harrison must mean that his
own hour had now come for a like mys-
FERROUS doom. Harrison was no man for
these midnight deeds, though he was fer
vid in his belief. and so he told the king
that justice was no respecter of persons
and great and small alike must be sub
mitted to the law. Charles was relieved
to find that he was only going "to ex-
change the worst of his castles for the
best" and after ride of four days ODE
cember 1929 through the New Forest,
Winchester, Farnham. Bagshot, he found
himself once more at the noblest of the
palaces of the English sovereigns. Here
for some three weeks he passed infatu-
ated hours in the cheerful confidence that
the deadlock was as immovable as ever.
that his enemies would find the knot in
extricable, that he was still their master,
and that the blessed day would soon ar
rive when he should fit round their necks

pops AS A BUSINESS BAROMETER.
Remarkable Decrease in Numbers
Since Prosperity Came.


The best business barometer in the coun-
try is the Populist party. When business
is bad time hangs heavy on the hands of
the Pops; their calamity howl is heard at
every crossroads store, and their conven-
TONS local. county and state, are crowded
and dismaly jubiant. When labor is en-
ployed, cash abundant, credit good, when
crops command fair prices and the mort
gage is lifting, the barometer Is high and
the Pops have mighty little use for poll
tics.
Such is the condition in Kansas, the
home of Jerry Simpson. Leedy, Breiden-
thai and most of the leading spirits and
seers of Populism. No longer are the
partys conventions storm centers of pes
simism and invective. Delegates refuse to
attend, and in many districts none is
elected There has not boen a county con-
vention this year in which the representa-
ton has been complete.
In Washington the other day only cor
porars guard was present. Sixteen OF the
twenty-five townships in the county were
unrepresented. and 1t was uphill work to
find men who would promise to so to the
state convention. For the first time prob
ably, since the party was organized no res
olutions were adopted.
The Pottawatomie convention usually
consists of ia delegates. This year only
twenty-three turned up. They were sup
posed to represent eight OF the countys
twenty-three townships. No platform was
adopted.
If you remark at Kansas crossroads
in this year of grace 1900 that prosperity
Is a fiction, even the Populists will turn
their backs on you. The thing Is too pat
