The Saturday Evening Post an
nounces for early publication a
twelve-part serial story of love and
adventure by Morgan Robertson.
Masters of Men is a powerful tale of
the new Navy. The central figures
in the story are a rich orphan, who
has entered the navy as an appren-
tice, and a young ensign, fresh from
the Naval Academy. The author
leads his two heroes through a maze
of adventures by land and sea. This
romance may fairly be called the
best work of the best writer of sea
stories in the country.

ABSOLUTELY Pure

From various parts of the city come
complaints OF spring gardens aud
choice flowers being ruined by chick
ems. Kinsley has chicken ordinance
and it ought TO be rigidly enforced.
There is nothing that adds more to
the attractiveDess of a town. or to
the value of the property therein than
well kept lawns. It should be a mat
ter of civic pride with every one to
grow flowers and plant few shrubs,
even though you rent place, for you
will be more than compensated by
what they add to life. These things
cost money and both muscular and
mental effort. and the city govern
ment ought to compel people who own
chi ckens and dogs to keep them where
they cannot damage things. There
are people In Kinsley today who say
they will make. no effort to grow flow
ers this year because it only means a
row with neighbors over chickens.
We hope the chicken ordinance will
be rigidly enforced. 1t would be a
good thing to extend it to cover the
entire year. as chickens do a great
deal of damage to blue grass in the
late fall and early spring when there
is nothiug else green.

Obituary..

PIBURN-Soon after the curtains of
night were drawn over the face of ma
ture, the evening Thursday, nj arch
2lst, 1901, little Helen Belle Piburn
was rele; ID from her suffering by the
cold embr ace of death. The severe
illness was of but little over a week s
duration, ard was probably caused
by fall, with the complication of
mumps and Ia grippe.
Little Helen was the only daughter
of Jacob A. and Eve NJ. Piburn, who
reside on their farm joining on the
south of Lamont.
Goo only gave this flower to bright
en- and swesten their home as naught
but the innocent child-love can. Oh,
how they twine The cords of love
around our hearts till we can only say
when the robber death inv AIDES the re-
pository of love and causing grief and
pain, in our sympathy for these friends
bereft of this promising little daugh-
ter, we can only say as we look up to
our Heavenly Father. 'sThy will be
done.'
The funeral services we're held at
the home of the parents. with many
friends and relatives present.

There were thirty-five covers laid
for the banquet in the evening and
both the material and intellectual
feasts were thoroughly appreciated.
Mrs. NJ Morgan, who responded to the
toast, ''Our Hatchet," reviewed the
weapons of constructive life from the
primitive stone hatchet down to the
pen-and demonstrated the superior
ity of the pen over all cruder Weapons.
Mrs. Humphrey toasted ''The w Om-
an Without Mission," in one of the
most delightful after dinner speeches
I'VE have ever listened to.
Miss Nellis' response to "Hobbies"
was allegorical, brightly given and
closed with graceful compliment to
the K. w. P. A.
Mrs. Charlotte F. Wilder, whose
latest book, Polly Buttons New
Year." has been placed in the Worth
While series, responded TO "Author-
ship" Her theme was that sentiment
of MahOmet, 1.-THE ink of the scholar
ie more sacred than the blood of the
martyr"
Mrs. Olive I. Royce, to whose untir-
ing work so much of the success of the
K. W. P. A. is due, delighted the COM
pany with most brilliant satire in
response to the toast, "The Man Pri-
meval. -
Mrs. Isabel Worrel Ball in a toast
to 1.-The Power of the Special Corre-
spondent' gave an insight into the
highest phase of newspaper work.
Mrs. Ball herself is woman of whom
the K. w. p. A. is exceedingly proud
inasmuch as she stands al the head
of the profession in this country.
The banquet closed with THE W om-
an Reformer" by Miss Ida Frow,
the genial secretary of the X. w. p.
A, who treated this modern affair
from a broad standpoint.
A movement was started to gather
material for a history of the organi-
cation.

Another Middle.

When the legislature adjourned the
members hied themselves back to their
constituents and filled their ears and
the columns of their personal organs
full of gush. They told the dear peo-
pie how they were the whole thing and
had redeemed the state. This all
sounded nice to the men who told it
and for a short time they we're able to
make their admirers believe that per-
haps they really had forgotten them
selves long enough TO do something
for the people.
AS the days pass by and first one
law and then another is scrutinized
it becomes apparent that these heralds
of their own greatness were no more
infallible than those who have pre-
ceeded them, and the admiring con
stituent begins to look coolly on his
aforetime idol and ask, How did this
happen? A hunted look gradually
replaces the complacent smile which
had previously been very much in ev-
idence, and these victims of their own
Greatness take to the back street and :.
when possible, deny that they ever sat
in the legislature.
These fellows were SO busy playing
politics that they did things in some
cases without knowing it.
Among others they passed a law to
which almost every member of each
house was opposed. They did not ev-
en- know they passed it (so they say. J
This bill provides that all voters in
townships must register. The town
said board has charge of this matter.
The board must be In session thirty
days prior to any election. Records
must be provided and kept.
This bill was demanded by Sumner
and Montgomery counties and when
passed was supposed to apply to these
counties only.
Now comes the assistant attorney
general aud says that as the bill
passed it applies to the entire state
except first and second class cities.
The people of the state did not want
this law, did not demand it. The
members did not want it. yet the peo-
pie: have got it by the votes of their
representatives. If the populists had
made such break as this they would
the expenses incurred under this law
to the quarter of million which was
appropriated in excess of the appro-
priatiOns of any previous Legislature
and it will make bill of costs suf-
ficient to make even an attorney take
to the back streets
These republican legisl lators have
so insistently told the people of their
ability and economy that some were
beginning to believe it, but as the
facts come to light and the true in
wardness of their actions is made
known to the people We think they will
begin to appreciate the fact that their
interests were better projected by the
populists.
IL is expected that the Supreme
Court will declare that the law shall
be interpreted as it was intended and
not as it was passed

Kansas woman's Press Association

The Kansas WOman's Press Club
held it's annual meeting in Topeka
last week. A large number of bright
women were present althO many were
absent because of illness, and two
were kept away by business.
Mrs. Laura Johns address on the
Newspaper Woman and the Public
Schools" ought to be read by every
parent. 1t certainly caused au awak-
ening among the members of The Press
club TO The dangers of allowing poll
tics or sectarianism to prevail In mat
terS connected with our educational
system.
There were two numbers of sym
postum ON 1.-The New Conscience Civ
en-. Mrs. Peters being unable to be
present. The paper ON ''Ihe Ethical
Conscience, by Mrs. e. B. Hoffman,
showed great deal OF thought and
research, and the ideal of twentieth
century ethics was upon high plane,
placing much responsibility on the
awakened soul. Mrs. John p. F'ritts
gave u practical demonstr alton of
what might be acc mplished by n
highly developed CLUB conscience. |"
Her theory is that the organized con-
science of a club composed of devel-
Noped individuals is a powerful force
for good in any direction in which 1t
ie exerted.
There were to be four short talks by
yonng iauIes who are engaged IN
ewspaper work. Miss Mabel Diggs
was very i'll, but her mother, the State
Librarian, gave an Interesting talk ON
the tendency of the new literature to-
ward the spirit of fraternity and real
brotherhood. Also ca the line of COM
munlon with nature. eXemplitied in
Elizabeth and ner German Garden,
and other bOoks which have a large
circul alton, aud will help in bringing

gave an exceedingly numerous sketch
OF The Newspaper Poet, /" Miss Edith
Brewer drew an entertaining picture
of ssThe Neighborhood Reporter" !"
and nearly every one recognized her
by the deiineation-

The Lamar register., 1901-08-07

is now demanding q special session
of the legislature to pass the reve-

mitting that its former passage was
not legal. The former revenue law
Of tho state is sufficient for all nec-
essary purposes and it would be far
better to resort to it and let the late
and unlamented corpse rest in peace.
There never was any excuse for the
30 called revenue law, and there is
less now when the general prosperi
ty of the state is raising revenue
without either taxes or inquisition.
However, il Senator Patterson says
it must be done the fusion govern

Revenue Law demonstrations

Judge N. Writer Dixon, Monday
in the district court at Pueblo, de-
clared the revenue law passed by the
Thirteenth general assembly uncon-
stitutional, and granted the prayer
Of the railroad corporations Of the
state for writ of mandamus com.
pelling the old state board of equal.
ization to perform its duties.
The decision is considered one Of
the most able ever handed down by
court in Colorado. The law is now
"up to" the supreme court Of the
state, and in the event this court sus-
tains Judge Dixon's decision, it is
the concensus of opinion that an
extra session Of the legislature will
be called.
The decision is voluminous doc
ument, covering in detail every point
Of the case and clearly defining its
position before the public, explain
the defects in the famous law, and
giving the reasons why it is not con-
stitutional.
After Judge Dixon had concluded
delivering the opinion, Attorney Nor
rison, representing the respondents,
asked 30 days time in which to pre-
pare bill Of exceptions, which was
granted by the court.
The court room was crowed at 10
o'clock, the hour announced for the
decision to be handed down, the ma
jority Of those present being lawyers.
Mr.. Morrison and Assistant Attorney
General Caesar A. Roberts were
present as representatives Of the re-
pondents, and H. A. Dubbs, Of Pu-
eblo, and Willard Teller represented
