Last week we told you about the
action of the postmaster at Chanute
attempting to stop one of our subScr!-
berS. This week we call your atten-
tion to the postmaster at Beloi.
About the same time that We wrote
to Chanute we received notice from
the postmaster at Beloit that E. L.
Strawn had refused the Advocate.
Investigation showed that Mr.. Strawn
was paid nearly year in advance. and
as in the case at Chanute we wrote at
once to Mr.. Strawn tC ascertain if he
had told the postmaster if he had re-
fused the paper. The blue" card
was inclOSed in an envelope with our
letter and mailed. The next day the
letter came back marked refused"
1t bore the pOStmark at Beloit recaiy-
edI7 a. m. and returned p. m. This
aroused our suspicion more than ever
that something was 'rotten in Den
mark. " and, determined more than
ever to locate the trouble. In all oar
business career we never had letter
bearing a 2-cent stamp refused. We
determined'now to deliver the letter
to Mr.. Strawn if we had to make
trip to Beloit for that purpose, but
this was not necessary. We found a
friend to whom we incioSed the ref
used letter and another to the friend
and put them both in plain enve-
lope, mailed it and awaited results
Here is the reply: "Beloit, Kan,
Jan. 81, 1902.-Editor Advocate
Topeka, Kan.-Dear Sir: Yours OF
he 18th inst. at hand AMI will say in
reply that 1 have been intimately
acquainted with e. L. Strawn for
thirty years and that 1 know he has
excellent reputation for truth and
veracity. met him Monday, January
20, and handed him your letter with
out any explanation. He looked at the
address and remarked: This is adj
dressed to me- 1 told him to open it
He did so, first reading the blue
card then turned to me and said:
That it is all wrong. He says he has
repeatedly called at Office and asked
for his Advocate and was told there
was none for him. Last SATURDAY.
he asked again for the Advocate and
received his first one since subscribing
He tells me he never refused to re-
ceive said letter, that this was the
first time he had ever heard of the
matter. He was very much disap-
pointed on account of not receiving
the Advocate. Yours with respect.
w. G. Cochran" The reader can
draw his own conclusion. We simply
suggest that our subscribers keep on
the watch for any irregularity of the
Advocate and it may be- we will be
able to land some Of these pinheaded
postmasters in the penitentiary or
make it cost them their job at least.

By the way, Bro. Royce, what has
become of that banquet" with which
you were going to celebrate Judge

Hamilton'S induction into office? If
it didn't die, "a fornin' " hadn't

When the republican party of Kan
sas gives the place OF honor at their
banquet to a gold democrat who boasts
that he still believes as Cleveland,
German, Hill. and Croker. ct. al, it
seems as if it would stop them from
trying to CLAIM that the populistS are
about to be swallowed by the Bryan
democracy. Everybody knows the
Bryan democracy is infinitely more
respectable than the gold-bug-trust
contingent to which the republicans
surrendered.

what Wireless Te.egsaDhv IS.

In order to follow lntenigently the
advance OF wireless telegraphy from
the beginning, some rough idea must
be had of the modern physicist views
regarding the nature of electrical
phenomena. To this end all space
must be regarded as permeated by a
something termed the luminiferouS
ether. Not only does this ethen per-
meate the spaces between the heaven
ly bodies and our atmosphere (Which
conception offers little difficulty to the
lay mind), but 1t also permeates all
solids Further its nature is such
that the movement even of solids is
not in the least restrained by such
permeation, the closest analogy being
that of sieve, representing the solid,
being moved about in walter repre-
Senting the ether.
The ether is the seat not only Of all
electrical phenomena, but also of all
the phenomena of light and heat. All
of these. apparently SO distinct, ,are
but the result of vibrating waves On
the ether, the. apparent difference be-
ing due only to difference in length
of the waves and the rapidity with
which they occur, just as one musical
note differs from another in the same
particulars, only that the sound waves
are air waves and not ether.
Now with the usual Geographic
methods the cure Mt, as it is termed,
is sent or directed through space by
means of metallic conductor. Actu-
ally nothing passes through the wire,
as is implied by the use of the word
''current, what actually takes pla ce
is the transmission of energy along
the path of the wire by means of vi
brationS in the neighboring ether.
That is, the metal of the wire acts
merely as guide for the eth er waves
to the distinction desired:
In wireless telegraphy, ethe vibra
tions are also set up at the transmit
ting station, but these, having no con-
Quoting guide radiate in all directions
through space and a small percentage
of them arrives at the receiving stat
ion, and by means of suitable appara-
tus are made appreciate by the senses
or recorded.-The Great Round World

IMPROVING ON NATURE.

For many years the scientific gard ener has been gathering apples from pear trees, and picking cherries and damsons off the same branches. and, though the quest of the black tulip has so far been in vain, the blue rose, we are told. has at last arrived at Kew Gardens. Years ago horticulturiStS were interested in the announcement that a nurSeryman at ESSy. in SlavO- mia, had secured a wild rose from Ser via which was said to give blooms of a deep violet blue, and that after two years of cultivation the rose retained it's color. But there is still an uncer- tainty whether the blue tint was nat ural or produced by chemical means. in the same way as another horticul- turist is known to have produced a black rose. Most people will be con- tent, no doubt. with the red. red rose that sweetly blooms in June.' and mo- body will very much deplore the failure of the efforts to produce roses of black, or blue or green or any other unnatural color.
 More pardonable. perhaps. is the hobby of the man who would grow universal fruit tree. Even this. of course. is contrary to all the laws of nature, and ought by natural law to be abolished. But there is a farmer in HerefordShire who insists, it is said on gathering-not grapes from missiles, but pears and plums and apples from cherry trees. Many years ago the en- | terprising farmer grafted these alien
 fruits on to his cherry tree, and by careful cultivation the four branches
 have been brought to full fruition.

FOUR PERSONS AsPHYxIATEp.
Deadly Gas Gets in Its Work In New
York House.

New York, April 16.-Four persons
were found dead Tuesday in the living
apartments of Esther Kohen, a widow
living on Third avenue. They had
been killed by inhaling the fumes Of
Illuminating gas, and so far the police
have, given no opinion as to whether
or not the deaths were the result OF
accident The names of the dead:
Esther Kohen, aged so; Henry Kohsn,
her son. aged %; Lena Kohen. her
daughter. aged IL; Edith Flow. a
friend of the Kohens, aged 16.
The tragedy evidently came Monday
night, for the Kohens and their visitor
had not been seen all day. Henry was
in the bicycle business and did not
come to the store during the day. Last
evening his partner went to the house
and was told by the occupant Of an
other apartment that an odor of gas
had been noticed all afternoon. He
broke in the door and Henry was
found dead lying on a lounge in the
parlor, while the other three were in
bed In another room. All the win
dows, fanlight and entrance doors had
been tightly closed. Two unlighted
gas jets were turned on in the parlor,
where Henry lay.

Joseph Miller Gets Life Sentence.

Detroit, Mich. April 14.-Joseph NJ
Miller. the confessed murderer of Car
RE M. Jennett, is now serving a life
sentence in Jackson prison for his
crime. In less than ~ hours after
the commission of the crime, Miller
was arrested, tried, convicted, SEN
fenced and lodged in the prison where
he must pass his remaining years.
This forms a record never before
equalled or even approached in this
history Of Michigan criminal trials.
Saturday morning Miller was ar
raigned in the recorders court, when
his attorney asked that he be exam
ined as to his sanity. Three alienists
OF the highest rank in the medical pro-
fession OF Detroit examined him, and
on the opening of court in the after
noon testified that he was sane.
Without much further ceremony the
man was sentenced for life to Jackson
and was taken there on the evening
train.
