pered, the porticos enlarged and re
painted, the gentlemen's parlor car

The Hello system

Last Sunday the change was made
from the automatic to the hello sys-
tenn in our city telephones. Manager
Hardman got everything in readiness
SO the entire change was made in a.
short time, thus reducing the incon-
Venience of his patrons to the mini
mum. The central Office is located
upstairs in the State Bank block south
west toom. James Cole was employed
as 'hello girl" for the first few DAYS
until the instruments were all in good
working order and the central Office
hXed up and furnished so as to be
pleasant and comfortable quarters
Wednesday morning Miss EIba Nipps
was duly installed in the central office
where she now preSideS in full charge.
The change makes the phones ap-
parentiy work much better, the sounds
oeing heard much more distinctly.
The work of putting in the new
phones progresses rapidly There will
oe about 100 phones altogether when
che new ones are all put in place.
MeSSrS Welty and Hartman went
up to Norton Monday to look after
getting franchises for running their
line to Norton via Prairie View, Long
island and Almena. Work will com
mence on the line Immediately and it
will probably be in working order in a
few weeks. This will not only give us
phone connection with all the towns
OF the county, but will connect US
with Norton and other western towns.
as we now have connection with all
towns east. Mr.. Hardman is to be
commended for his enterprise in push
ing this work to rapid completion,

her into marrying him he chose his

LOGAN, KAHN, Feb. 20, 1901.

Two pistol shots and a piercing
scream which rang out IN the night
air last Thursday night about eight
O'Clock caused our citizens to repair
rapidly to the house of G. F. Shurtz
the miller, on the river bank from
whence the sounds proceeded. Arriv
ing there it was found a tragedy hao
been enacted.
Joseph B. Hinton, young man EN-.
ployed at Shurtz Bros. livery barn as
hoStler had shot and dangerously
wounded Miss Maggie Shurtz daugh-
ter, aged about seventeen years.
At that time Hinton was missing.
Medical attention was at once given
the wounded girl, DR.. Norrish having
been called to the case, and she was
tenderly cared for.
Search was at once made for Hinton.
He was not at his fathers house a
mile west of town where inquiry was
made, and his whereabouts was I'M
known. He was not far away how
ever, having shot himself, as will be
seen. He had gone to the house of
Mr. Shurtz on the night in question
with murder in his heart, having left
the Becker Hotel, where he boarded.
early in the evening. He Iurked
around the house some time waiting
for an opportunity to accomplish his
purpose. While doing the evening
work with her little brother he sud-
denly came upon Miss Shurtz and en-
circling her waist with his left arm
said: Your time has come" Placing
his revolver to her breast he diScharg-
ed the weapon, the ball piercing the
body on the left side, and as she
turned to flee he shot her again, the
ball entering the back just below the
shoulder blade on the left side strik-
ing rib and following round about
four inches where it lodged. The sec
ond shot has been located and will be
extracted as soon as the patient is
able to undergo the operation. The
shot in the breast has not as yet been
located. After Hinton had done his
dastardly deed and while parties were
searching for him he went down to-
wards the mill and placing his gun to
the left breast, attempted TO take his
own life. The ball entered just below
the heart and went entirely through
the body ranging downwards, it hay

Fusionists Score a Victory in the Legs

From The State journal, Feb IA.

From The State Journal. Feb IL
On the last page of the printed
house journal today was spread the
following message from his majesty
King Edward VII:
buckingham Palace.
''The private secretary is command
ed to convey the thanks of the king
for the kind expression of loyalty and
sympathy contained in the message
which you have forwarded to his mai
eSty. January 81, 1901. -
In the confused moments before ad-
journing last night Hoag, of Wyan-
dotte, had this acknowledgement Of
Kansas cablegram Of sympathy on
the death Of Queen Victoria read and
spread on the journal.
Weilep. of Cherokee, had it expung-
ed this morning just as soon as his
eye lit on it. That was not for an
hour or more after the session began,
and in the meantime the democrats
and others had been Tuning over the
mere receipt of the message, as it had
been announced in the senate, because
of the word loyalty in it.
The reply was first received by Sem
atOr SimonS under cover. It was
printed on mourning paper, the same
as has been sent all over his majesty's
empire and colonies in answer to the
kind wishes of his humblest subject.
When the motion to expunge was
put, it carried with whoop, although
one still small voice on the south side
of the house acted like an English
man. There was a feeble no from
somewhere over in that direction but
the identity of the voter could not be
learned.
In thus repudiating the message to
the state of Kansas from the king of
England Weilep scored heartily. He
came to the front free born Ameri-
can citizen and reaped all the ap-
pIauSe, while the majority sat silent,
emphasizing the fact that the repub-
lican side of the house lacks leader
ship. They were stricken dumb when
the minority leader broke into the
proceedings.
Mr.. Speaker
NO one knew what was coming, for
Speaker pro tenn. McKeever had al
ready sat down upon Weilup earlier
in the morning in line with the de-
termination Of policy now in force to
override the minority.
''The gentleman from Cherokee, -
McKeever at last said.
81 rise to a question of personal
privilege. :"
state your question of privilege. -
II do not like to disturb the order |
of the house when it is so busy, but [ |
find on the last page of the journal |
that and others are made subjects of |
King Edward VII. Now while the |
legislature of this sovereign state of /
Kansas can and does sympathize with
the new king in his bereavement, it |
can never be loyal to him. LOYALTY |
implies allegiance, as the allegiance of
a subject to sovereign or a colony to |
a mother country. The sovereign |
state Of Kansas owes no such duty to
King Edward VII, SO I move we con-
slider the question as here recorded. "
When this vote had been taken
Weilep continued:
Il move the words loyalty and be
stricken out"
McKeever paused moment before
replying: 1.-THE chair holds that just |

a word cannot thus be stricken out of
the message"
'Den l move dat de whole bizness
be stricken oudt," shouted Weilep.
So it was. The sovereign state of
Kansas asserted its sovereignty, and
the gentleman from Cherokee took his
seat amid echoing applause.

Col. Sim" Baston, now a reputed

amusing story of the only direct COM

ed States government. In 1890, he
says, while on my uppers in Louisi-

my troubles, and in -four or five weeks

the fourth assistant clerk of the acting
superintendent of the bureau of kicks

ed that all the enumerators had been
paid, intimating, courteously, that ]

Gently called for extended commea-
from the local press 1t has now be-
come the habit of Parisians to drink a
glass or two of milk at the period be-
fore dinner known as the "aper1tif'
hour. The change that has gradually
been wrought in substituting milk for
absinthe is said to be owing to the in
crease in open air exercise among
F~renehmen, which produces a craving
for milk rather than for liquor" Most
of the cafes, particularly those on the

sealed bottles of milk. and in some

that the subject OF milk a~dulteration Is

health authorities of Paris, and DR.. H
De Rothschild has recommended that
special inspectors be employed to ex-

that the danger Of tuberculosis infec-

OLD HOUSE.

yhe house OF Walter Baker e. Co..
whose manufactures OF cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
as household words, was estab-
Iished one hundred and twenty-one
years ago (1780) on the Neponset river
in the old town of Dorchester, a suburb
of Boston. From the little wooden
mill, "by the rude bridge that arched
the food" where the enterprise was
first started, there has grown up the
largest industrial establishment OF the
kind in the world. 1t might be said
that. while other manufacturers come
and go, Walter Baker & Co., go on for
ever.
What is the secret of their great suc-
cess? It IL a very simple one They
have won and held the confidence OF
the great and constantly Increasing
Lody Of by always main
tanning the highest standard in the
quality Of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles OF good quality can be put
upon the market. They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel justified
in denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed of on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles
The best grocers refuse to handle such
goods, not alone for the reason that,
in the long run, 1t doesn't pay to do 1t,
but because their sense of fair dealing
will not permit them to aid in the sale
Of goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made by
the Walter Baker Company bears the

filling plug, or, in cases where a num-
Der of fans are used in n
building. the supply may be
obtained from a central reservoir.
To set the fan in motion
the valve underneath the reservoir is
opened when the liquid will pass down
through the pipes, v%aporizing by
absorbing heat from the atmosphere.
The products of the vaporization will
rise through the return coil to the top
of the reservoir, where the pressure is
utilized to force the liquid continuous
ly into the discharge pipe, in addition
to driving the fan. This latter result is
accomplished by allowing the COM
pressed vapor to pass downward
through the central tube to a small
turbine Just above the fan blades,
where its force is expended against the
wings. AS the vapor is of a very low
temperature it is desirable to utilize it
after it leaves the turbine for cooling
the room, and this is accomplished by
extending the outlet pipes into the
arms carrying the fan blades, where
the air is discharged in advance of the
blades, being driven about by the fan
and mixed with the warmer air Of the
room.

Ct. .1o.eph.s Cathedral.

One of the show places in Buffalo is
ST. ,Joseph's cathedral. Not long ago
a priest was telling it in Gath that
%cathedrals were built only on the coast,
and otherwise sensible persons were
believing him. He would say that St
Joseph's is on the coast of Lake Erie.
When Archbishop Hughes was laying
the corner stone of this imposing pile
the owner of the adjoining building,
a private residence of red brick, was
chunking missiles of various kinds at
him from the roof. The brave pre-
late merely crossed himself and trow-
eled on, lodging like a sea target in
a gale. st. Joseph's contains, among
numerous historic relics, the great
organ which was exhibited at the
Centennial, where millions breathed in
it's throbbing chords. Its carlton of
forty-three bells is the third largest in
the world. The chime was manufac-
tured in Munich and shown at the
Paris exposition. where it took first
prize. The cathedral was opened in

over to the public, and for many years
retained its old name Of Pocahontas

called Amity Academy. A few pre-

envy, because of the fact that for sew
.eral years the official name Of the
town was Hickory Grove. but ma
j~orities ruled in those days, and the
majority, among whom were the foun-
ders of the school, gave it the name
by which 1t was known most widely
and longest-Pocahontas Academy. 1t
will be observed that all insisted that
the school should be called an acade-
my. Pocahontas is now but a small
place with a few hundred inhabitants,
and it was much smaller in the early
SOS. Pocahontas is in Bond, one OF
the original five counties of Illinois,
and on the Nandalia railroad, about
forty miles from st. Louis.

Foreign Bonds as InJeSfmenfSs
The recent action OF American CAPT
talists in taking $50. 200, 900 of the new
British war bonds gives timely interest
to the article by Prof. Woolsey. in the
May Forum, in which he discusses the
risks in all kinds Of foreign bonds. He
points out the radical differences be-
tween government bonds and private
loans. A government bond has no
collateral behind it-no property on
which the creditor may levy in case
of default. The security Of such a
loan depends upon the credit and the
good faith of the state hat be !.
Nor can the bondholder procee1 =
gle-handed against his debtor by ju-
dicial methods. His only redress is
through the diplomatic interference of
his government. If he be a small and
uninfuential holder he may have to
wait long before he can set the gov
ernmental machinery to work.
AS a matter of fact, all government
bonds Of all countries are purchased
out of pure Notwithstanding else
The bonds sold in this country go t.
British residents here anxious to re
lieve the country TO which they owe
allegiance. In other words, the bondl
were taken by branches of British
banks doing business in the United
States.
