A GAME FOR BLOOD! SEE 1T.
which,

which,
We submit to readers this
question: Is it better for the
United States that the steel in
dustry, with all the minor in
dustries depending on it, should
support in comfort a million
human beings, the steel workers,
their wives and children, or that
it should make a dozen human
beings enormously rich-so rich
that they don't know what to
do with their money, or, in fact,
how to give it away?
Is it better for the United
States to have a quarter OF a
million steel workers well paid,
educating their children, feeding
their families properly? or is it
better to have Mr.. Carnegie scat
tering millions, Mr.. Morgan buy
ing fine pictures and yachts and
bric-a-brac, and Mr.. Schwab
drawing 100000 a year?
Such is the issue today between
the striking steel workers and
the steel trust. The battle royal
is on with the republican admin
istration standing behind and
supporting the millionaire trust.
Our sympathy is with the work
ing man everytime and we hope
they will win in this strike

We Loose to Kansas CITY.

In the three games of base ball
played here the first of the week be-
tween the Great Bend "Shamrocks"
and the ~. j. Fosters" of Kansas

one. The scores for the three daya
were as follows:

The first and second games were
nice games, barring some rank decis-
ions and consequent "chewiug of the

for the ''Shamrocks," and Lille pitch.
ed the second game. In the third
game man who was said to be a
crack pitcher for Washburn College,
went into the box for the home team,
bnt was SO ''easy" he was taken out
after the second inning and Jim Nc
Mullin, who has not pitched a game
this year, went in and gave Kansas
City straight goose.eggs. Had
Jim gone into the box at first the
result would beyond doubt have been
reversed.

Too Anxious to Carve.

Too Anxious to Carve.
The following from the Topeka our
nal of the 18th about expresses our
opinion of the growing craze for sur
gical operations:
DR.. Eva Harding says the surgeons
of today are where the dentists were
twenty-five years ago. AT that time
the dentist who could show the biggest
pile of teeth that he had pulled was the
dentist who did the work. Especially
favored was the one who could show to
his victims large glass case filed with
teeth, the bigger the pile the more
swelled UP the dentist. The scientific
dentist of today saves the teeth, and
would scorn 10 advertise his prowess
as tooth-puller.
| AS it was with the dentist it is now
with the surgeons. He who can boast
of the greatest number of operations
for appendicitis or who can display the
greatest number of jars containing the
internal organs of his victims is the
nne who gets the business. Verify, as
I'D. Howe says. next they will be cut
ting out the spots to cure the measles.
The graft worked by the surgeons on
the poor little appendix has brought
them such untold fame that they now
are laying for the other viscera the
latest is an operation for the cure Of
typhoid fever. When this operation
becomes fad then another ''slaugh-
ter house" will be needed in Topeka
and some grateful patient who has had
his belly ache removed" in the latest
and most improved fashion will put up
the cash.
1t is surely kind of the surgeons to
give the symptoms of appendicitis so
that he who runs may read, but for the
benefit of those who may despair pro.
ducing all the symptoms gwen, Doctor
Harding says that any misery below
the waist band, right or left, up or
down, is sufficient indication to the
intelligent surgeon that you have ap.
pendicitis and an operation is absolute.

LOOK LIKE WAVES OF FIRE.

Phosphorescent Condition of Pacific
Ocean Attracts the People.
The remarkable phosphorescent con
dition of the ocean along the coast Of
southern California continues to at

and Terminal island carry thousands
Of people nightly to see the phenome-

The other night the sea was higher
than any evening before since the dis
play began, and the light was conse-
quently greater. AS waves from 10 to
10 feet high broke along the beach they
presented the appearance Of walls of
green tinted fire, and at times the
whole surface for miles seemed ablaze,
making a display that was almost star

A New Type of Hunting Launch.

At the Jacob yard on City Island, N.
Y, a very able type of hunting launch,
designed by G. D. Mower, is being built
for Mr.. Jacobs use about the yard and
sound, says the New York Times. A
cabin eight feet long is set at the fore
head part Of the boat. which will allow
sitting head room of 4 feet 6 inches. A
toilet room is situated in the. forehead
end of the cabin, and berths are situat-
ed on each side, at the end Of which are
two hanging lockers. Aft of the cabin
Is a IA foot cockpit, with seats running
full length on both sides. The engine,
probably of the gasoline explosive
type, will be set well forward near the
center of the boat. The overhanging
bow will protect the boat from pitching
in rough sea- thereby making her an
able dry hunting boat for all kinds of
weather.

IRON AND

New Method of Construction In the
Netherlands.
The Amsterdamsche Fabrtek van &C.
ment Yer Werken has furnished Unit.
ed States Consul Hill, at the Amsterdam
office, with the following description
of a new system Of construction which
is used in the new Postal Savings bank
building Of that city, now approaching
completion. says the Washington Star:
"In the Monier system Of building
an iron framework. looking much like
a ~birdcage, is entirely enveloped in
concrete of Portland cement, which
prevents the iron from getting rusty
and at the same time renders the con-
crete elastic. The iron, or, rather
steel, acts entirely in tension, the con-
crete in pressure. This construction is
at nee strong, freproof and water
proof and entails no outlay for repairs.
Patents have been taken out in vari-
GUS countries, and in Germany a joint
stock company, with a capital Of $780,
600 marks, has been formed. An es-
tablishment Of concrete iron works has
been opened in the province of iceland
| and another In Amsterdam. This COM
pany has made q number Of expert
ments,s resulting in the application Of
the construction, described as an eco
nomic substitute in many cases for T
constructions generally used hereto

b present disastrous visitation Is d.
rectly traceable to the variations in the
output of radiation from our great va
riable star, the sun. But this time the
energies concerned seem to be uncom-
monty fiery and intense in their display
of power, and there is some reason to
think that the activity Of the sun is in
creasing rather than diminishing as
time goes on, so that in the more or
less remote future the consequences Of
its periodical outbursts may be even
more calamitous than at present, but it
is a matter in which we are yet per-
fectly helpless. We cannot govern the
furnace Of the sun nor reach>nQr infu-
ence its stokers. We must face and
endure 1t as we find It, without the pos
Eibility of intervening for our own COM
fort or safety, a fact that will become
o and more a source of impotence

variations and the nature Of their eff
fects upon the earth increases.

THE GERMAN TARIFF.

lean Trade Combination.
London, Aug. 19.-In a dis
patch dealing at considerable
length with the proposed anti
American trade combination, the
Vienna correspondent of The
Times says:
1.-THE most Influential repre-
sentative of the agricultural in
terests of Austria at a recent ses-
sion in the government depart
ment entrusted with the prep
aration Of commercial treaties
unanimously adopted a reso-
luton declaring that they re-
ssrded the projected German
tariff as the first step in the di-
rection of such q combination,
and that one of the most import.
ant tasks of the Austrian govern
merit would be to pave the way
to an understanding with Gers
! many on that subject. A resciu-
ton was adopted, declaring that
the pre- acted German tariff rem.
dered an increase of the duties
proposed by the Austrian agri
icultural interests necessary. This
seems to confirm the anticipation
THAT the powerful influence of thu
German Agrarians will compe
all the continental States tt
adopt high tariffs. Jealousy O
the United States is also notice

Decision Rendered Against Him After
 Sixteen Years Litigation.

Fort Smith, April 20.-In 1885 Madi- son county issued to John Kennon warrants for $7,00O, which drew inter est until 1893 on judgments served by Kennon. The interest amounted to 5000. Kennon claimed interest from 1893 until the present time. In this he was barred by an act of the legislature of 1893, but he refused the tender of s7,000 by the county, the $3,000 interest having been paid, and brought suit in federal court to re- cover his claim. The case was heard by juge Rodgers yesterday and he de- cided that kennon must lose his claim He issued an order for the clerk of Madison county to issue new war rants to Kennon for the s7,0O0, and If he would not accept them to enter them on the books. kennon is in ex- actly the same position that he was sixteen years ago.
