The Best Kansas News.
Valuable for Present Use.

Secretary F. D. Coburn, of the Kan
sas board of agriculture, says he can
still supply applicants with copies of
the boards quarterly report for Sep
TENDER, 1894, which is a 210-page book
devoted to the subject of wheat as
food for farm animals. 1t is thor
ough discussion of the whole question
from both the experiment station
and farmers standpoint, and consti
tutes a fund of wonderfully timely
information just now, nowhere else
80 fully available. The value of wheat
as a substitute for other grains in a
maintenance or fattening ration for
either cattle, horses, sheep or swine,
or for milk-making, is pressing ques-
ton upon which many stockmen are
needing light, and this report gives it.
Some other of Mr.. Coburn's reports
of this series yet obtainable to linn
tied extent are those devoted to "The
Modern Sheep" Forage and Fod-
ders," ''Dairying in Kansas" "Pork
Production" alfalfa, Irrigation and
Subsoiling," and 1.-THE Horse Useful"

First Negro Soldiers.

1t always has been claimed that the
first negro soldiery to see actual serv-
ice in the civil war was organized in
South Carolina. But this is now dis
puted by j. H. Stearns, of Mound City,
who was an officer in colored battal-
ion recruited by Jim Lane in Kansas
in 1862. These negro soldiers were
mostly recruited in Linn county. In
September of 1862 they were sent to-
ward Butler, Mo-, to rid the country
of some bushwhackers.

south of the camp firing a revolver.
He fired several shots at Sheriff John

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

Such expectation as the people may
have Of new work to be performed by
Congress during the short session are
likely to be disappointed. Each of
the two houses has a great deal of
work on its hands, left over from the
last session, and the country will be
lucky if that is finished in the right
way before the time comes for the
inevitable adjournment on March Ait
In the first place, there are no less
than eleven important appropriation
bills which must be attended to or
else some of the great departments
operations for lack of funds unless
an extra session of the new Congress
is called to provide them. These are
the urgent deficiency, the general de-
ficiency, the army. the naval, the leg
islative, executive and judicial, the
pension, the postal, the Notifications,
the District of Columbia, the agricul-
tural and the sundry civil measures.
How long these measures will Occu-
py the time of Congress it is impoSsi-
bic to forecast. Some Of them will
pass promptly without debate, but
others will provoke opposition and
there will be a long discussion on
them In addition to those bills each
house has work of its own to attend
TO will m foEo
the omnibus statehood bill passed by
the House at the last session, and will
also have to act upon the Cuban reci-
prOcity bill now before it or else de-
wise a new one. Furthermore the Sen
ate may have a good deal Of its time
occupied by treaties with Columbia
and with Cuba, which are now being
negotiated by Secretary Hay.
The House has beforeit the ship
subsidy bill and the for the establish
ment of a Department of Commerce
both of which passed the Senate at
the last session. There further re
mains to be settled the anti-anarchy
bill, which is now in conference. II
is not likely, however, that the las
named bill will occupy much time il
either house. as it's passage is virtual
ly assured. Finally, some measure TO,
definitely measuring PHILIPPINE curren
cy and tariffs is urgently needed ant
will doubtless be presented early il
the session. 1t will be seen that Con
gres has work in plenty waiting fo
it, and is not going to have mucl
time to give to new issues.-Call

A MOST REMARKABLE CASE

In New York city last Sunday man
named Spinner fired pistol at his
physician, DIR. Samuel Landsman, says
the Henderson Cleaner, and as a con-
sequence is now confined in prison. In
strict execution of the law it is posi-
bic Spinner deserves to be punished
but under the evidence a Western jury
would prefer joining mob to hang the
doctor rather than signing verdict TO
punish khe other. An effort is being
made to have Spinner pardoned and
countless parents will easily find it IN
their hearts to pity the poor distracted
father and to hope that as no bodily harm
has been done the doctor the law viii
not be harshly applied.
The followingsis the story of Spin
ner's offending as told by the New
York papers:
.Spinner's baby boz, eighteen months
old was suffering from meningitis,
bronchial pneumonia and commissions.
DIR. Landsman set a wash boiler on a
gas stove, and when the water was hot
placed the baby in it-placed 1t so that
the child's BODY, pressing on the bottom
of the boiler and was burned.
In its agony, Spinner says, the baby
screamed and held up its little arms
imploringly TO ITS father.
But the father thought the doctor
knew best and let the baby burn.
Not until after the childs death was
it known what had happened Other
doctors testsfied that the burns had not
killed the child. SO a coroners jury
exonerated DIR. Landsman. and suit
for damages went against the father.
Nevertheless the child was burned,
and the memory of the baby's uplifted
imploring arms maddened the father.
III the memory of such as that is not
ample to embitter fathers life in the
name of Heaven, what could be neces-
sary? With a sensitive, nervous or
ganization there is enough to unhinge
the mind and set the wounded father
frantically wild. Take it that the cor
oder's jury did right IN turning DIR.
Landsman loose, generating him from
any responsibility for the child's death
assume that the court did right in
Withholding the damages, still the fact
remains that the child was burned and
that Its suffering must have been tor.
turous while in that fatal bath tub over
a blazing gas stove.
The mother of the dead baby went to
the doctor and ON Bonded knees begged
that he show clemency to her husband
in Jail and daz3. the doctor, it is
said was at firsCfurious and implacabl,
but finally yielded to the fearful en-
treaties OF the mother and wife. Or
the other side Spinner promised t
forget if possible those little implorinf
arms and that agonized baby face anc
do no more shooting.
That may be. but If the heart tori
father ever meets face to face tina
heartless doctor there will be NOR
trouble, provided there is in his maxi
up any of the spirit that moves mel
further west than New York

STEAM BOAT BURNED.
STEAMER CITY Of PITTSBURG
WITH 80 PASSENGERS ON
BOARD BURNED SUN
DAY.
90 OF THE LIST ARE MISSING

D
The greatest steam boat disaster
know on the Ohio river for many years
took place Sunday morning at Turner'S
Landing twenty miles the other side of
Cairo and thirty miles below Paducah.
The City OF Pittsburgh, a Cincinnati
and vicksburg packet, was on her way
down the rivep and was near Turner's
Landing Sunday morning between four
and five O'Clock she was discovered ON
fire. 1t caught among some hay and
cotton and had gotten under such head
way that it was impossible to put it out.
1t was just before day when all were
asleep
As soon as the pilot discovered the
fire and the rapid Roadway it was max
ing he turned the boat around and ran
1T ashore on the Kentucky side.
BY this time the passengers were
getting out of their cabins and become
frantic with fear, but the excitement
was running so high that the officers as
well as the people did not know that
the boat was ashore and they all ran on
the side next to the river where they
jumped into the water and tioated
down under the big wheel that was
running at high rate of speed and
were killed and drowned and floated
down the river.
There were about $50 passengers
aboard and so far only 80 have been
found which leaves about 60 that must
have persisted in the fire and water
Those who We're saved only escaped
in their night clothes and lost every
thing they had. The boat was total
loss and burned TO the waters edge. Ii
was one of the finest boats on the Ohio
river.
