AIRSHIP AND A TRAIN.

Spencer as his airship was rushing
head on toward an approaching ex-
press train near Preston, England the
other day.
stop your airship," yelled the engi-
neer.
Mr.. Spencer proved that his airship
is dirigible by lodging the express
train, ramming a tree, and ending his
26-mile voyage in fits branches. He
was uninjured.
Spencer, who recently made a sue,
cessful trip over London, rose to-day
from Blackpool, but, finding the north
west breeze too strong to make head
way against it, he proceeded in a
southwesterly direction and landed in
the open country.
There was a good breeze when he
assembled. When he was 900 feet high
he made several evolutions against
the wind and finally sailed off in the
same direction the wind was blowing.
When he was descending he found
he was over a railroad, with his trail
ing rope dangling among the tele-
graph lines along the line. His dia-
logue with the engineer followed.

THE BATTLE OF rAKU.
German Ofacer Writes n Book and
Tells How Anxious the Americans
Were to Get Into the Fight.

The advance sheets of Josef Her
rings book, 1.-THE Battle of Taku," of
which engagement he was an eyewit-
ness, says, discussing American nom
participation:
"The Monocacy, called by the Chi
nese the jinriksha of the sea, because
it was sidewheeler, was anchored off
the railway depot at Tong Ku before
the bombardment. The last train from
Tientsin brought hundreds of fugi-
tives, many of whom were taken on
board the Monocacy, it having received
orders from Washington not to take
part in the fighting.
This displeased the American Off
GERS. When mingling with the officers
of other nations on the wharf on the
Pei-Ho the Americans expressed dis
satisfaction. The foreign officers gen.
orally sympathized with the feelings
of the Americans, who did not want to
see the fight without taking hand in
it. Capt. White did not share in this
public discussion of the United States
action, which was confined to the
juniors.
During the bombardment the Mon
ocacy was struck by two shells from
the forts. Capt. White would like to
have gone into action then, but could
not do so because his vessel was
crowded with noncombatants."

SAYS THEY ARE LAZY
indian Agent Severely Arraigns
Educated Young Red Men.
Declares the Governments Efforts to Anne
iiorate Their Intellectual Condition Il
30 Per Cent Waste-AH Have
Mania for Gambling.

Washington, Nov. LA severe ar
raignment of the Indians on the Pom
ca, Otoe and Oakland reservation in
Oklahoma is made by Agent Erwin,
in charge of the reservation, in his
annual report to the commissioner of
Indian affairs. The report says:
Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduated from non
reservation schools, as well as those
who have attended for a number of
years, do any work at all. 1t can be
set down as perfectly safe rule that
as class the young educated In
dams are the most worthless ones in
the whole tribe. Nearly all of the
work done by the tribe is performed
by the middle-aged, able-bedied ones,
who cannot write or speak English.
The educated Indian coming from
the schools usually gives the excuse
that he has nothing with which to
work, neither money, implements nor
1 notice that they manage to live on
their annuities and lease money and
buy horses, buggies, etc., on credit
and borrow money from the banks
with but little prospect of ever being
able to pay their debts. Any able
bodied man or woman is able to OBJ
tain work at fair wages. Many of the
people are addicted to drink and both
men and women are inveterate gam
blers. They have practically nothing
to do. Their days are spent in almost
utter idleness and vice and debauch-
cry are rampant. The degradation
of these people will continue and in
crease until they are made to work
and live by the result of their Ia
bors."

The Cause. of Insanity.

The superintendent of the state
insane asylums at Topeka and Osa-
watomie have compiled a statement
showing the causes of insanity in
patients admitted to those institu-
tons during the past two years. 1t
shows that the most of the patients
went insane on account of sickness
or heredity. However, several went
crazy from other causes. For in
stance, 80 patients, one of whom is a
woman, went insane on account of
the excessive use of alcoholHin pro-
hlbition Kansas at that. Four young
men were driven to the madhouse by
cigarettes. Mourning over departed
loved ones caused ten women and
one man to go insane. Disappoint-
ment in love sent three men and
four women to the asylums. Thirteen
patients, three of whom are. women,
lost their minds on account of f.
nancial troubles. Morphine stole the
reason from six men and five women
Isolation or lonesomenesS caused ten
men and two women to go insane
These were cases from western
Kansas. Religion drove % men and
Is women crazy. Only one patient
lost his mind over politics. Fright
caused one woman to lose her mind
and worry drove seven men and four
women to the asylums.

C. o. D. LIQUOR coNTRABAND.
An Important Decision Made by the Iowa
Supreme Court In Regard to Original
Packages by Express.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
c. o. d. liquor sales by express COM
panies. In both instances the express
companies had liquors which they
were transferring to purchasers in
exchange for c. o. d. payments. Seiz-
ures were made and the cases tried
in the district court, where the ex-
press company won. Both cases were
appealed and both are now reversed.
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from handling
liquor c. o. D. and makes such goods
contraband and liable to seizure if
found in the possession of the COM
panies. The court holds that the priv
ilege of original packages or Of the
freedom of interstate commerce does
not apply to business of this char
acter.

More Land for Asylums.

''The state should buy additional
land for all of its state institutions
while property is comparatively
cheap" said Henry J. Allen, chair
man of the state board of charities.
''It has been a great mistake to de-
lay the matter this long. Two of
the nine institutions, the Olathe and
Kansas City institutions, are really
schools, and need no farms, but the
seven others do. ut present the
seven institutions, with q combined
population of 1854, only have 1909
acres of land"

prominent citizen of Wabaunsee coun-

600. In his will he bequeathed nearly
all the property to his sons Michael,
Martin and Thomas, and cut his three
daughters and another son off with =
pittance. The four children thus de-
prived of their share Of the estate
employed counsel, and filed suit to
break the will. They alleged that
their father was insane when he
wrote the will and that he was I'M
duly influenced to write the will as he
did. The trial of the case began on

Meets with Approval.

The movement to take the higher
educational institutions of the state
out of politics by having fixed sums
set aside by constitutional enactment
meets the approval of the politicians
generally. These institutions now de-
pend upon biennial appropriations
from the legislature, and this always
requires great, deal of wire pulling,
scheming, lobbying and political con-
niving around the legislature. The
plan proposed is for the legislature
to submit a constitutional amend
ment to the people two years hence
fixing certain tax levy for the sup
port Of the state educational institu-
tions. This will remove the institu-
lions from politics and will enable
the schools to become more efficient.

In regard to new department in

promising features introduced into
the school during the biennium is
the department of domestic econo-
my, organized by Miss Gertrude Co.
burn, and conducted by Miss Mather.
1t promises to be the most useful
industry taught. Thirty-two girls,
divided into four classes, are now en-
gagged in this, and their enthusiasm
and zeal in the work are very graft
flying to the board. Good cooks are
scarce and always in demand at good
wages"
