TIE PASSING OF THE OLD SOLDIER

Senator Burton's last appoint

from all important federal posi-
tions in Kansas. Colonel Crum,
late United States marshal, is
succeeded by Mr.. Mackey, select

yressional district demands for

us declaring that men who
wed the country in it's hour

lacked by ability and character
for the positions. A Republican
Legislature passed a law to this
same effect, but it has notorious
ly been dead letter. The old
soldier has grown tiresome to
the ambitious young statesmen.
His voice is counted upon for
the Republican ticket because it
is reasoned there is no place else
for him to go. II he should re-
main at home in the coming
election the Republican party in
Kansas would be defeated by
more than 10000 votes. 1t is
not unnatural that these old SOL
diers should grow somewhat
sensitive over the bumbuggery
of convention resolutions, or
that they should become weary
over the Misrepresentation of
politicians whose interest in
them extends only to their votes.

growing old to be sure. Most
Of them have passed the age OF

DEATHS HARVEST.
At Peaceful Rest.


At Peaceful Rest.
At 9:2O on the evening of July
26th, 1902, the soul of William
Waters Morgan took fight from
earthly clay; and if a consistent
open christian life insures the
souls eternal happiness, that
soul is now with the blessed.
W. W. Morgan came to Barton
county with his family in the
early days, and for many years
conducted a farm northwest of
town. Of late years he has been
in the poultry and produce busi-
ness in Great Bend, and although
sorely afflicted for many months
he still managed to get down
town and look after his business
until up to couple of weeks
past.
Deceased was aged IS years,
Z months and 1 day. His last
moments were peaceful and ap-
parently devoid of pain or
travail.
He leaves a wife and three
children. Lee Morgan of near
Heizer, Mrs. Chas Miller of Great
Bend, and Mrs. Blackler of Cali
fornia. A sister, Mrs. Haigh,
the only survivor of thirteen
children, is also a resident of
Great Bend.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the Congregational church
at 2:3O p. N. Monday the 2Sth,
and the remains inferred in the
Great Bend cemetery.
Mrs. Josiah Spencer Dead.
After a number of years of
helpless lingering upon a sick
bed, Mrs. Ann Spencer, died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Geo. Strobel, Tuesday July 29th,
1902, at S:45 a. M, aged 20
years and 20 days.
Deceased has been a resident
of this city for over 20 years.
For d number of years past she
has been almost utterly helpless;
from dropsical trouble, requiring
constant attention day and
night. She has been cared for
mostly by her daughters, Mrs.
Strobel, and Mrs. Lizzie Spencer,
the devoted husband, Josiah
Spencer. Her son, Albert Spencer,
has also given much of his atten-
tion to the afflicted mother.
Funeral services were held at
the residence, north of the M. E.
church, at $50 Wednesday the
3Oth, and interment made in the
Great Bend cemetery.
The bereaved husband, the
faithful daughter and son, have
the deep sympathy of this entire
community. All who knew Moth
er Spencer liked her. The greif
of her sincere friends will be
somwhat palliated by remember
ance of the fact that her life of
good motherhood has earned for
her peaceful rest after long
suffering.

STUDENTS RIOT IN RUSSIA.
Ten Thousand of Them Keep st. Peters
burq Police Busy.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-A students
riot here today, in which over ten thous'
and participated, kept small army Of
police and cavalry busy throughout the
day. Probably 100 arrests were made, but
the repressive measures were not so strict
as on the corresponding Sunday of 1901
While many persons were injured, no
fatalities were reported.
The students placarded the city last
night, announcing that they intended to
hold a grievance meeting, and the authorl-
ties, taking the hint, made extensive pre-
variations. The whole police reserve was
called out, and the entire military force
was held ready for mobilization, cavalry
patrols supplementing the mounted police.
Additional squadrons of cavalry, light
batteries of artillery and detachments Of
infantry were packed in the side streets.
The crowds increased in the main thor
oughfares until noon, when the cavalry
officer in command of a squad i'll front Of
the Hotel DEurope begged the crowd
there to dsperse and go home. The
demonstrators refused, and the troops be-
gan slowly clearing the streets.
At u 80 p. m, the students attempted
to organize a procession in front of the
hotel mentioned, singing revolutionary
songs. and shouting Free Russia" Down
with the autocracyW The police and
cavalry then charged, but only used their
cossack whips and the fiat of their sabres.
Many persons were hurt; but only few
we're seriously injured.
The fighting continued during the re-
mainder Of the afternoon, breaking out in
fresh places continually.
One of the most severe fights of the day
was concluded only few minutes before
the Czarina, in an open sleigh, passed the
SPOT where it occurred Carriages of the
