FULL OF BLUNDERS.

The Topeka State Journal informs us that
eight pages have been added to the Natural Com
plete Geography" next text look adopted for
Kansas schools, to make it Kansas edition.
The book is published by the American Book
Company (trust) 1t is full of errors. The
map of the state is incorrect, and there are num-
erous other errors. The population of some OF
the cities is not correctly given, and in enumer-
ating the elective state officers, some are omit
ted. Another error is in teaching the children
that the seven supreme court judges hold
their Offices for six years, lone retiring every
two years." The fact is that two retire every
second and fourth years, and three every sixth
year.
The silver smeiter at Argentine is mentioned
as one of the most extensive of its kind ir the
world, when III fact, it is closed down. But the
big smelters at lola arc barely mentioned. A
paper mill at Salina is referred to, when, as
matter of fact, Salina has had no paper mill for
years, and the one that was there was only in
operation few weeks. The barbed-wire fac
tory at Lawrence is also mentioned, and it has
not been running for years.
Kearney couHty is spoken of as great wheat
county. Scarcely any wheat is raised in that
county.
These are few of the errors contained in
this new geography that has been sent into the
state for our children to study. If the rest of
the book contains as many errors, proportion
ateiy, as the eight pages in the Kansas appendix,
it is certainly valuable text book

WILL GO AFTER THE COAL TRUST.

Chicago American.
NEW YORK, Sept. Io.-J. P. Morgan has re-
fused to interfere and compel settlement of
the coal strike. The operators steadfastly de-
cline 10 listen to the demands of the people.
Before the attorney general in Albany, to-day,
the American will begin proceedings against
the coal trust that will show how vast and deep
a conspiracy exists to keep the public at the
mercy of the great railroads and the coal COM
panies they control.
The petition sets forth facts gathered by the
Am erican that show how conclusively the COM
bination existing between the operators to con
troll the output and regulate the prices OF coal.
1t is shown that more than o2 per cent OF the
entire area of the coal fields is owned by men,
bers of the coal trust.
1t is shown that, in defiance of the law, the
railroads control these coal fields and operate
them by companies which they own.

TOO MUCH MONEY.

Secretary OF the Treasury Shaw says there.
is 100000 900 of gold piled up in the treas
ury, and he doesn't know what to do with it.
He fears 1t will cause panic. Only a short
time ago, Republican papers and speakers told
us that big gold reserve was indicative of
great prosperity. Why doesn't it mean the
same thing now?
However, if this big reserve endangers the
prosperity of the country, wouldn't it be good
idea to loan some of it to the farmers OF the
country? They could use it to good advantage,
aud could afford to pay the same rate of inter
est tie banks are paying.

BOWMAN MAKING A WONDERFUL CANVASS

The Lawrence Jeffersonan Gazette.
When Noah l.. Bowman was nominated for
congress, lot of the Bowersock fellows, includ.
ing the Lawrence Journal and Ottawa Herald,
set ND ha-ha. They pretended to take the
candidacy of any one against our millionaire
miller as joke, and derisivey inquired, "Who
in thunder is Bowman" Well, Bowman went
to work and has been making quiet, but sys-
tematic canvass, and the prospects for his cleo
ton are veay hattering AS matter of fact,
he has Bowersock beaten right now. One of
the politicians who laughed the loudest has
been making tour of the district and reports
that ]. D. has hard row to hoe; that all around,
the fellows are "of the reservation" and that
he was unable to line them up.
Even in this county, Notwithstanding Bower
sock is credited with securing the new post
office building, he is going to be badly cut.
Brady and Brady influence is against him, and
there is no question but that if ]. D. had kept
out of the primaries, Brady would have been
nominated without any possibility of being
counted out in the first ward.
Another thing, and that is this: The average
politician don't work for his health, anu they
are preparing to "bleed the old mani. They
know he is rich, and besides, the impression
prevails that he will not again be candidate for
congress, so this is their last chance, and unless
he puts up literally, they will knife him. So
j. D. is up against the toughest proposition he
ever tackeled.
Our friend Bowersock is up agalns, the zeal
thing. He is beaten for congress, and all his
money won't save him. All over the dis
tric., there is revolt among he Republicans
over poslofice appointments, and IN top OF
this, organized labor, TO man, is against him.
Bowersock has ever been a labor ciushtr, and
now the council of Kansas City, Kas., is up in
arms

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.


Israel v. Cornell Believed to Have Com
mitted Suicide.
Israel V. Cornell, aged so years, was
found dead in the parlor of his resi-
dence, 20T Jefferson street, about 9. 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, by his sister,
with whom he lived He had bullet
hole in hie left breist, and the impress
sion is that the wound which undoubt-
edly caused death was self-inflicted,
although no revolver could be found
when a search was made 10y Jamea L.
Chandler, coroner's undertaken. 1t is
supposed, however,. that Mr.. Cornell
shot himself and hid the pistol before
he died Friends had considered him
OF unsound mind for some time and he
had been carefully watched by relatives.
He was not In the best of health and
that fact is believed 10 be accountable
for his supposed mental affection.
1t is not known at Just what time the
shooting occurred, but it Is believed TO
have taken place about O'Clock, aH a
woman who has a room in the house
abuye the one in which the body was
found heard a peculiar noise about that
time which she afterward thought
might have been pistol shot.

it and was satisfied that life was ex
tinot, az the kody was cold. Mr. Cor
nell had dressed himself. The gar
ments were soorched where the bullet
had entered, showing that the pistol
had besn placed near the body.
Ii was at first feared that thieves
might have entered the house and muir.
dered Mr.. Cornell, AS there was no
trace uf revolver, but an examination
OF the clothing of the deceased revealed
the fact that he had not been robbed
as is watch and some money and other
articles of value we're found in the
pockets. Neither was there anything
to indicate that any person had forcibly
entered the house, as the doors were
locked and there were no suspicious
circumstances.
Deceased was unmarried and lived
with his sister. He was carpenter and
was well known, hut, owing to i'll health
had not done much work for some time.

AFRAID OF TRAMPS.

why Circulation mt Rockford Branch of
Library Fell OG-Institutc Report.
Recent reports of the circulation of
the Wilmington Institute Free Library
have shown a falling off at the Rock
ford branch, although an increase is
generally found in the number of books
borrowed from the institute. The eS-
Ilanation OF til > Gauss of the decrease
at Rockford appears somewhat novel,
hut Is doubtless sufficient. 1t ia that
the women who formerly used the
branch library, which Ia open only at
nights, became timid on account Of fear
of tramps who were rather numerous
last fall. Hence some Of them stopped
going to the library, and hence the de-
crease, 1t IL thought that the crcula-
tion will begin to rise after awhile,
whom the women regain their nerve.
The managers of the Wilmington In
stitute Free Library had their monthly
