A York County Sensation.

The Woodmcn of the World has a
thriving lodge at Hickory Grove, in
York county, and it is said that new
members when being initiated into
the mysteries Of the order are re-
1ucstcd to climb creased pole, ride
the goat and perform many other
fcats for the amusement Of those
who have already passed through
that ordeal. On the night Of March
-, of this year, Mr.. S. w. Mitchell,
well known citizen Of Yorkville,
was initiated, and those on the out.
side are led to suppose that Mr..
Mitchell was pretty roughly handled,
and that several new features were
introduced for his especial benefit.
Anyway he has entered suit against
the order for $4,000 damages for
injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned by him while being initiated.
Three members of the order,
Mcssrs. j. w. Lccch, S. w. I.ecch
and ID. A. Whisonant, are made par
ties TO the suit, as Mr.. Mitchell cyi-
dcntly considers that they were
primarily responsible for the inju-
ries he received. Mr.. G. w. S.
Hart and Hon. ID. f. Finley have
been employed to represent the
plaintiff and defendants, rcspcc-
lively. 1t is not known as yet when
the cause will be heard, but when it
is it will most likely attract a great
deal of attention.

SOMETHING OF A WHEAT KING.
A Former Clerk Who Bought Kansas Farm,
Land and is a Millionaire.

The wheat rentals of Jonn II.
Stewart, of Sumner county, will
amount to nearly 100000 bushels OF
wheat this year. In his home county
he owns lis quarter sections of land
and about 30 quarter sections in adj
joining counties. He rents the lands
on the basis of half the yield, he
furnishing all the seed and taking
chances of securing crop.
1t is estimated that if all the wheat
due him on rentals this year was
shipped in one consignment it would
require II freight trains Of Is cars
each to take it to market. His rem
tails in wheat last year ncttcd him
$4,000. In addition to owning
about S350,000 worth of land, every
foot of it paid for, he has nearly
$250,O0O worth of bank stock and
100000 invested in farm lands in
Sumner county and Oklahoma.
About IS years ago Mr.. Stewart
began life as a clerk in IN obscure
office in this city at 500 month
He slept in the Office and was eco
nomical in other ways. He began
loaning money in Sumner county
when about 20 years old and has de-
veloped into remarkable tinancicr.
1t is said that his ambition is finally
to own a railroad and he may crafty
it, as he is still very young man,
not more than As. lie carries a
small memorandum book, and it is
said that he can take it out at any
hour Of the day and tell every debtor
exactly what his account is. Indeed,
it is said that accounts of his vast
transactions are always kept in a
book that fits his trousers pockets.
1t is said that he lives on less than
800 month and that outside of
this his largest annual expense is
$500 to the Methodist church, which
his wife and large family of chill
drcn attend. lis is not fond of
travelling, except to go to a Demo
cratic convention, a diversion he is
passionately found Of. lie is a pro-
nounoed temperance man, and, it is
said, believes in the prohibition laws
of Kansas.
The people Of Wellington insist
that his success is due to luck, but it
isn't. He has genius for making
money and nine -tenths of it is hard
work. That luck attends him, how
ever, is certain.
The great Wellington cyclone of
1892 picked him up and absolutely
pasted him TO the gable end of big
barn and kept him stuck to it fol
more than half minute, as if he
were the picture of man instead o.
the real thing. When the tornado
had passed he dropped to the grounc
and landed on his feet without {
scratch.

The Heroic Beers.

Two years have rolled along in
their course, and what thing has
come of it? The bones of forty
thousand Englishmcn, one for every
Boer in the field, lie scattered along
the paths where the herdsmcn drove

Of dollars have been spcntin vain. The
output of the coveted Rand has fallen
from seventy millions to seven mil
lions a year, and the imposing forms
Of Cecil Rhodes and DIR. Jameson
have sunk into darkness. The un-
conquered and unconqucrable Beers
still ride over the dcsolate and wasted
vcldts Of the Transvaal, and "unfor-

in the coffee houses of London from
the very heart of Cape Colony. Who

Quired Into.


Dick Phillips. colored, of this city,
VINO was TO have been hanged at Hampton,
Va, last Friday Tor the murder of Artil-
ieryman New, is now to have a lunacy
commission pass upon his mental condition,
ana he may eventually escape the gallows
He was convicted of the murder of Artfl-
leryman New and was given two trials,
the second resulting In conviction and the
imposition Of the death sentence. Phillips
was represented by counsel, who made n
hard fight to save his life, and the pris-
oners father and brother were active In
their assistance. When the last hope had
apparently disappeared Joseph Phillips
brother of the condemned man, went to
Hampton and gave information about In
sanity in the family. II was because of
this that the mans counsel obtained a
postponement OF the execution. No matter
what conclusion is reached by the lunacy
commission, nothing will be done by the
court at this session
The father of Phillips lives In Phillips
court, IN this city, and he is now nearly
eighty years old. Dick Phillips is about
thirty years old, and he has many friends
IN washington. He was known as an all
round sport, having been connected with
the Market House base bah team several
years ago. He was also something of a
sparrer. A brother, Melville Phillips, was
Killed IN this city about three years ago.
Before leaving here and going to Hampton
fnllllps was in a number OF petty troubles,
but he was not considered DANGEROUS
After the shooting occurred at Hampton
Phillips came here and was arrested by
Policeman Patrick OBrien, now precinct
detective in the third precinct His father,
il Is stated. owns considerable property I'm
TINS city and has spent much money in his
efforts to save his sons life.
