The closing speech was made by Mr..
Bird, of Topeka, who said: Il judge
that it will be unwise for us to advocate
the increase of taxes. The people are
now paying all taxes they can afford to
pay. All property now can be assessed
at its full value. There are means by
which we can raise revenue aside from
laying a burden on men who own little
home There are many men. drawing
large salaries, who pay low taxes. Men
with fine homes pay low taxes. This
rotten condition lies at the door OF some
public officer. IN Leavenworth, a prop
erty which cost $270000, with 8 franchise
bonded for $500, 600, and which has an in
come of 81 900 a year, is taxed $54 1000
year.
."When I was city attorney of Topeka
7 instructed the city assessor to assess
every franchise at the same rate as other
property.
do not increase the burden Of tax
ton on the already overburdened. It
leads TO discord and anarchy. Let US do
what we can to lessen the burden of
those already bearing more than their
share. You all come here with a plain
tive appeal for more money. You haze
right to levy an occupation tax on
every corporation doing business in your
cities.

PROTECTING The BRIDGE
WOrkmen Remove Debris Near the
Maple Street Structure.

Yesterday a force of men began clear
ing away a mass of odds and ends which
had been dumped near the Maple street
bridge and so narrowing the channel as
to be regarded as a menace TO the bridge.
The city has ordered that this accuInu-
lation be removed. People who have
studied the raging Arkansas for years
and know its whiTnsicalities are certain
that the whole city VIII yet pay the PEN
atty for the constant narrowing of the
channel, through the contraction of the
banks and the increase of islands. Some
day there will be a June rise which will
take Main street far away out - the

Secretary Root VIII Recommend to Con-
gress to Purchase Equipments for an
Army Of 100000 Men.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Secretary
Root is firm believer in the wis
dom of the old adage, SIN time OF
peace prepare for war;" and in his
report to congress will recommend
the purchase of military equipment
sufficient to supply an army of $780,
0OG. men. He. will also again recon-
mend legislation providing Tor gen.
eral staff. Secretary Root made such
a recommendation last year, but con-
gress failed to act upon it.
Another important recommendation
will relate to the organization of a
national military reserve. This mat
ter will be taken up by the house
militia committee, of which Repre-
sentative Dick is chairman, and it is
believed law will be enacted carry
ing out Secretary Roots recon-
mendations. 1t is his idea to have
the military organizations Of the va
rious states well trained and equipped
with modern Krag-Jorgensen rifles

SOUGHT RBvsscB IN ARSON.
4 Dissppeistsd Lever Fires THE paildisss
Of the Parsnis It the Girl who He'd
Rejected Him.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 2O.-Sheriff
Dreger yesterday lodged Adolph
Kaidelboch in Jail here for having
set fire to the barns and warehouses
on half a dozen farms near Loretto,
IN this county. The prisoner de-
clares disappointment In love crazed
him. Successive rejection of his WOO
ing by young women of his neigh
borhood preyed on his mind. He be-
came convinced that their parents
were in league to rob him Of pros
pect of happiness. So, he explains,
he sought revenge in fire. The farm
houses Of Charles Piper and Jacob
Spurzer, whose daughters had most
recently rejected Kaidelboch, were
first fired. Then the torch was APP
piled to the barns of Leonard Miller
and Charles Thomas. At the latter
farm Kaidelboch was captured.
Meanwhile word had been sent
along the Rockford road that Kaidel-
boch had become crazy and was try
ing to burn up Hennepln county.
Hundreds Of farmers stood guard
over their homes all last night with
shotguns, Sheriff Winterholter con-
cealing the fact Of Kailedboch's ar
rest for fear Of violence until relieved
of his prisoner by Sheriff Dreger.

A. CATASTROPHE AvERTED
People In the First Christian Church Iolo
to Leave ~ the Floor Were Settling
with Their Weight

Omaha, Neb., Oct. @.-A serious
catastrophe was narrowly averted ft
the First Christian church yesterday,
when the 500 people who gathered
to hear Rev. Allen Wilson, OF Irving
ton, Ind, barely escaped being
thrown into the basement, Is feet
below, by the giving way OF rotten
timbers in the floor. The vast audi
ence passed out quietly, however,
upon being notified Of their peril
and all escaped unhurt. Rev. Harry
G. Hill, pastor of the church, quietly
notified the audience that the floors
were unsafe and requested the peo-
pie to retire as quietly as possible,
and asking that the ladies be permit
ted to first get out Of the building.
Those in the audience did not know
Of their real peril until they were
all out Of the building, when it was
learned that the floor had settled
five inches and that the gallery was
in tottering condition. The church.,
which was an old building, was rem
dered useless and probably will have
IN he rebuilt.

A DRY Goods Store Under Their Hall Burned
and They Had TO Escape Over
Adjoining Roofs.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 2O.-A fire start
ed shortly before II o'clock Saturday
night in the Twoor 4 Brooks COM
pany's Boston store, one Of the larg-
est dry goods stores in the heart OF
the business district. For time the
entire business section was threat
ened. Thomas Ward, pipeman,
slipped from the top Of a ladder, fell
80 feet and was killed. At the time
the fire started dance was In prog
ress in a hall on the top floor of the
burning building. Escape to the
street was cut off by the flames and
rs young men and women were lifted
out Of the front windows and helped
over adjoining roofs. Several women
were burned, but none was danger

i'm Y0UNGER'S BODY.
II HAS Been Embalmed, but VIII Probably
he Crematsd, According to Wishes
Of Deceased.


St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.-The dis
position to be made Of jim Younger's
body has not yet been determined.
The body has been embalmed and
will be kept here until Mrs. Eta
Rollins, Of Dallas, Tex, sister of the
Younger brothers, can be heard from.
When alive Younger frequently eS
pressed the wish that his body be
cremated when he died. This plan
will be carried out. The body may
be cremated here or taken to Kan
sas City, Mo-, before cremation.
The parents Of the Youngers and
other deceased members of the fam
lily, including Bob Younger, who died
in the state penitentiary, are buried
in a cemetery near Kansas City.
Ultimately jim Younger's mortal re-
mains will undoubtedly rest in the
family burial lot. 1t is not likely
that Cole Younger will be allowed to
accompany his brothers body away
from here, because Of the law gov
erning his parole. The parole for
bids his leaving the state and the
parole cannot be modified except at
a regular meeting of the board Of
pardons. The board will not meet
again until November 5. A special
meeting can be called on ten days
notice, but it is said the parole can
not be extended to a pardon, If this
course was desired, at a special
meeting.

A MOB'S VENGEANCE,
A Negro Charged with Murder
Comes to an Awful Death.
BOUND and BURNED At The STAKE.


Forest City, Ark. Oct. 2l.-Charles
Young, the negro charged with as
saulting and afterward numbering
Mrs. Ed Lewis, a white woman, was
burned last night by a mob of in
furiated citizens of this county.
Sheriff W. L. Williams used every eff
fort against this extreme measure.
He had telephoned to Judge Hutton,
Of this district, who had promised
to come and give immediate trial for
the negro, and the leaders of the
mob had given the sheriff positive
pledges that they would await the
trial and take no violent measures.
About $3.50 o'clock last night mob
marched to the county Jail and de-
handed the keys. Deputy Sheriff
Murphy undertook to communicate
with Sheriff Williams, whereupon
members Of the mob forcibly took
the cell keys from Murphy and,
breaking into the Jail door with
sledge hammers, dragged the pris-
oner from his cell. Sheriff Williams
had arrived In the meantime, but
his protests were not needed.
The mob took the negro to Q point
about half mile east Of town,
bound him, piled wood around him
and set fire to 1t. The negro begged
piteously for his life, but the mob
turned deaf ears. In q short time
the flames leaped up and he expired
In the presence Of the several hun
dred men composing the mob. After
Young had been put to death the
mob started in quest Of another me-
gro, alleged to have been implicated
in the killing Of Mrs. Lewis. AT mid
night he had not been found.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2o.-Privste John
F. DevIin, Of the United States ma
rine corps, stationed at the League
island navy yard. has been arrested
charged with being accessory after
the fact to the murder OF Chris Sill
insky. Another warrant, it is under
stood, has been issued for the ar
rest Of Corporal Reese Jones, now in
Panama with battalion Of marines
on the cruiser Panther.
Silinsky, who was a member OF the
marine corps at League island, was
shot and killed in the clothing room
of the barracks on August .. After
an investigation continuing ten days
the coroner's jury decided that Sill
insky had committed suicide. Friends
of the dead man declined to accept
the verdict and about q week ago
placed certain information before
the district attorney. City detec-
tives were detailed to investigate the
case and Devlin's arrest followed.
The prisoner was closely ques-
toned, but the authorities decline to
state, whether they secured any in
eliminating evidence against either
Devlin or Jones. 1t is claimed that
at least two non-commissioned ofi-
GERS, five enlisted men and one officer
heard Devlin exclaim Is he rushed
from the clothing room in the bar
racks Immediately after the shoot
ing: "Great God, Jones has shot Sill
insky." Both Jones and Devln were
in the clothing room when silinsky
was shot. Both claimed later that
their backs were turned when the
fatal shot was fred.

4 Paragraph Implying That Secretary

Washington, Oct. 21.-Several news
papers recently have published para
graphs similar to the following:
persons who don't know that
prosperity is here are looking
askance at the action of Secretary
Of the Treasury Shaw in coming to
the relief of Wall street. This is
ridiculous. That's just what good old
Uncle Sam is here for-to help the
deserving. Anybody who is short

next pay day can get it by addressing

more generally known
That the paragraph has been taken
seriously is Illustrated by the num-
Der Of letters that have been re-
ceived by the treasury department.

signer's name being withheld for OBJ
vious reasons:
