Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-01-18

Is it to be wondered at that the whole coun-
try is growing brutal. This is one OF the con-
sequences OF war: when the war spirit has tax
en- possession of people, they have got to burn
OF destroy something. If we were only over IN
the Philippines we would burn their homes.
AS we are not why we just burn the colored
men here. God will speak in such thunder
tones, one of these days that He will be heard
unless these atrocities stop.

AND now comes man by the name OF But
Ter, representative from Wyandotte county,
with bill, asking for the annullment of the
municipal suffrage law of Kansas. His reason
given, being that getting voters to the polls
has grown to be such expensive business, and
that the woman vote only multiplies the eX-
pense and that women vote strictly along
party lines Just like the men and therefore they
shouldn't be allowed to vote Now isn't that
logical? Let us see how it is in his own coun-
ty. Here is statement signed by Sophie J.
Boyce and Mrs. A. w. Wilson, president and
secretary of the w. c. T. U, owe, the moth
ers of the coming citizens of this state claim
the right to be heard in the affairs OF this city.
We therefore plead that this bill be given the
defeat it deserves Tue officers OF the cur
rent Events Club-Mrs. L. L. Toothaker, pres
ident; Mrs. A. x. Wilson, secretary, and Mary
E. Stone, treasurer, make athdavit tnat the
club was instrume Etal in registering 1900 wo-
men at the city election of IS93-that 1000 OF
them voted, and that not one OF them RODE IN
hack, or otherwise put the candidates or COM
mittees to dollar of expense. Now II 1t costs
so much to get the men to vote, suppose you
keep them at home and let the women do tile
voting. AS the good brother says they vote
alike anyway. Anderson county women have
never cost the men anything to get them to
vote, and Anderson countys representatives
will be found voting for the women

WHY THE BOILER BURSTS.
Scientific Explanation of Some PhenOm,
ena of the Kitchen.

When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking there is no cause for alarm.
There is a prevailing impression that
the cracking is produced by steam and
that there is, therefore, an increased
pressure on the boiler at such times.
But this is an error. If the boiler is
in good condition, with the water
turned on as usual, so that the boiler
is kept filled, the only pressure that it
is subjected to is the same as that in
the water pipes, from which, of
course, there is not the slightest danger.
And this is true, no matter how hot
the water in the boiler may be. The
reason is very simple. AS long as the
boiler is kept full of water there is
no room for steam. If you open the
hot water cock the W alter pours out
and steam rises from it. because it then
has chance to escape into the air.
In other words, rapid evaporation
takes place. But as the hot water
pours out water from the pipes rushes
in to take its place, and thus the
boiler is kept full. The cracking noise
referred to is heard when the water is
unusually hot, and is nothing but
the expansion of the boiler under the
influence of that heat. It is in no de-
gree an indication of danger, unless,
indeed, the boiler is worn out or de-
fectlve, which is a matter entirely
outside of what we are now consider
ing. When kitchen boiler explodes
1t Is generally because a fire has been
klndled in the range while the boile r
was empty. 1t happens sometimes
when people come back to town after
spending the summer aWay The fire
heats the boiler, of course, and when
the water is turned on it is converted

enough to build a fire before opening
the cocks connecting the boiler with
the water pipes. Chicago Chronicle.

HOME OF THE BEAVER.
1t Will Again be Reinstated in Itasca
Park Region.

Minneapolis Journal:
Thanks to the efforts of Ex-Governor
Lind the beaver which is now we'll
nigh extinct in Minnesota, may vet be
saved. In driving through the pro-
posed state park at Itasca during his
| term of office, the governor was i'm
pressed with the evidences encountered
on every side of the wonderful extent
to which the beavers had once carried
on their dam building industry in that
locality. The number of trees gnawed
| through by beavers years ago indicate
| that they must have been very numer-
GUS at one time.
Soon after this trip the governor
| wrote letter to Thomas W. Gibson,
secretary for parks of Canada, asking
if it would be possible again to popu-
| late the st. Croix district by import
ing beavers. Mr.. Gibson has recently
replied that it would be a compare
lively easy task, with proper protec-
ton, to bring back the beaver, (which
multiply very rapidly. Mr. Gibson
recently reported that he had already
captured one beaver, and if desired
would shortly send several pairs to
Minnesota for purposes of propagation.
The only expense would be the cost
OF transportation and the travelling ex-
penses of keeper. Governor Lind in
reply said that he would take the
matter up with his successor, Cover
nor s. R. Van SAINT, who, he had no
doubt, would readily enter into the
spirit of the movement. He also ven
tured the belief that the state would
gladly pay the incidental expen Sc.
In letter to Governor Van SAINT
Mr.. Lind expresses the hope that the
former may feel justified in carrying
out the undertaking.
81 can conceive of no small invest
ment of public funds, he writes,
that is likely to contribute more to
the development of the park and to
the instruction and amusement of the
people than by mourning the expense
Of securing these beavers. am sure
Professor Bower will cooperate with
you. He will meet the Canadian ranger
and assist in receiving and placing
these beaver in the proper locality.
Governor Van SAINT will undoubtedly !
act on the suggestion.
