KANSAS has made another record.
not content with plastering the walls
of her state buildings with cancelled
mortgages; not content with doubling
her bank deposits since 1896; Kansas
now has but one inmate in the State
poor farm. Dining-halls and bedrooms
that a few years ago were crowded with
the idle, with the hungry, and with
the poorly clad, now echo and reecho
the solitary tramp of their one sole in
mate, who is without kith or kin, and
who is too old and feeble to work. But
one sad relic remains in the Kansas
poorhouse, to remind the taxpayers of
the days when its free soup, free bed
and free clothes were donated to those
who were compelled to idleness under
a Democratic Administration, and un-
der its policy of destruction to all
American industries, both of farm and
factory.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
SAD ACCIDENT NEAR N0RDNESS.
The One-year-old Child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Strand Dies From Burns
Inflicted BY the Flames.

Last Saturday afternoon a sad fate
befell the youngest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Strand who live near Nord-
ness, in which it received such severe
burns that it died shortly afterwards.
The little one was playing in the sum-
mer kitchen, and while her mother
was out ON an errand to one of the
neighbors the child's clothing in some
way caught afire, (although 1T is re-
ported that there was hardly any fire
left in the stove), and were nearly
burned off before the grief stricken
mother could come to its aid. DIR.
Hoag of Decorah was Immediately
telephoned for, but all attempts to save
its life were in vain and death came
after two hours of terrible suffering.
The sympathy of the whole commun-
ity is with the parents in their sorrow.
The funeral took place Monday, Rev.
Koren officiating.

The Latest Swindle.

Here is the latest swindle to catch
the farmer with, and it has the merit
of being perfectly legal. Land specula-
tor comes along and offers farmers big
price for part of his farm. The farmer
accepts and $50 is paid down to bind
the bargain, the papers to be made out
at the end of two or three weeks. Be
fore the time is up along comes specu-
lator No. 2 and wants to buy the whole
farm at big price. Farmer bites and
writes No. offering him, say $400 to
let him of. Nc. I ,eluctantly consents
to this. No. 2 never shows up, and,ths
farmer Is out $3.50. .-Ex.

HAUGEN RENOMINATED
AT YESTERDAYS CONVENTION
Secures the Unanimous N0minatioE
as Candidate for Congress From the
Fourth District.

The convention at New Hampton
yesterday afternoon as was expected
was harm onious affair with but one
purpose, which was carried out
speedily.
Hon. j. III. Trewin, of Allamakee,
was made chairman, and accepted in
felicitous speech. The secretaries were
l.. III. Henry, of Floyd, and Geo. H.
Otis, of Clayton. The following from
the Winneshiek delegation served on
the respective committees:
Credentials-E. c. Walker
Permanent Organization--G. G. Oy-
loe.
ResolutiOns-N. Willett.
Congressional Committee = O.A.Ten
old.
The committee on credentials re-
ported delegations present from each
county and the temporary organization
was made permanent.
Then some excellent extemporaneous
speeches were called out from Col.
Sweeney, Usage, James +. Blythe,
Mason City and B. w. Newberry,
Strawberry Point. The committee on
resolutions then reported, after which
Cerro Gordo county placed in nomi-
nation the name of Hon. u. N
Haugen, of Northwood county, to sue
ceed himself in congress, and meved to
make it unanimous. Worth county
seconded the motion, and 1T was
carried with enthusiasm. A committee
consisting of w. E. Dodge, Floyd, r.
w. Newberry, Clayton, and DIR. Beck
er, Fayette, escorted Mr.. Haugen to
the convention hall, who expressed his
thanks in an appropriate speech, after
which the convention adjourned.
We noticed the following present at

Fourth Of IulY Accident.

A hand badly MANNED, with two
fingers gone, and other injuries will re-
mind Roy H. Tracy of the recent
Fourth of July as long as he shall live.
During the afternoon he was engaged
with others in firing giant crackers,
when one exploded in his right hand,
tearing the flesh from the fingers, dis
jointing the thumb and infiicting flesh
wounds on his chest and face. He was
taken to DR.. Stevens Office, his wounds
dressed, which included the amputa-
ton of the first two fingers ofthe hand.
1t is very serious injury, but at this
writing it is doing nicely, and the
chances are that he will be able to use
the hand to good advantage. Two
bystanders, A. G. Seavy and Harry
Riley, received flesh wounds, which,
while painful, were not dangerous.

MANGLED BY THE CARS.
FORMER DECORAHIAN is KILLED.
Henry ArnesOn is Found Dead on the
Railroad Track East Of
Calmar.

Last Friday morning at about 7:45
o'clock, as the section crew went to
their work east of Calmar, they were
horritied to find fragments of human
body scattered along the track in diff
feient places. The man was badly
mangled and.could not be recognized
at this time. They sent word to town
and the switch crew and engine went
out after the remains, and Coroner
Jewell was sent for. When he arrived
jury was empaneled, consisting OF o..
p. Ode, Joseph Koch and A. G. Olson,
with A. McRobert as clerk. The ex-
animation developed that he had been
struck by an east bound train, and
that those who discovered him first
found hat and then an empty
whiskey bottle, then further on an
arm and other parts of the body, the
head being found last of all. The jury
found that an unknown man was ac-
cidentally killed by the cars.
Tue remains have since been identi-
fed as Henry Arneson, who formerly
conducted a restaurant in the Anon
Severson building on Water street,
Decorah. 1t is not known how the ac-
cident happened, whether he was
riding on the train or walking on the
track and was struck by the train.
The remains were brought to Decorah
and prepared for burial by undertaken
Golz, and on Sunday were taken to
Highland township, where his par
ents reside, for burial.

CAN it be said, in this day and age,
that in an intelligent, high-minded
community like this, newspaper dare
not assert its honest convictions on a
matter of public interest? Is the truth
to be suppressed under threats? Has
it reached a point where newspaper
is to suffer for advocating the elevation
Of the morals of the community? In
the enlightenment of which we boast
for this dawn of the Goth century there
is but one element that could be con-
ceived of as despicable enough to lead
men to such course. The sooner that
element Is wiped out of existence the
better for all the world, and We still
insist on being counted with the men
and women who are striving to wipe it
outs-Ex.
