rhe strain OF Teacbtnr.

Professor thinner, the famous fe-
male brain specialist, declares that in
every eIghty-five female patients in the
lunatic asylums OF Germany, Russia,
Austria and Switzerland there is one
schooiteachcr. In Prussia there is one
teacher to every $50 women of the pop
ulation. 1t seems to follow, therefore,
that mental disorders among teachers
are four times as numerous there as
they ought to be. The case is still
worse with those young women who
are preparing to become teachers,
Among them the cases of insanity are
ten times more numerous than they
ought to be, Professor thinner says:
''If telephone girls or salesgirls show
signs of mental disturbance, 1t is not to
be wondered at, for their occupations
are hardly those a woman can call suit
able to her sex, but in teaching, which
Is usually considered suitable en-
ployment for women, when the results
are so disastrous there is every reason
for serious consideration"

Chinese Justice.

The China Times relates an extraor.
binary case of Chinese Justice"
A Mr.. Jon was betrothed to Miss
Han and paid his money to the wo-
mans parents. Then he called on the
parents to have the contract fulfilled
and was told that the promised one
was the bride OF another.
Having paid his money he considered
he was entitled to the girl and went
to her husbands house TO carry her
of, but she was not at home. He then
laid his case before the magistrate.
The girl was arrested and sentenced
to be "kua-ed," the magistrate arguing.
"If you are SO wicked at twenty years
OF age. at the age of eighty you win
be menace to the Celestial empire"
The process OF kua-ing is very similar
to the ling-chlh, or slicing to death
punishment.

WHY women warrx.

II woman In to protect herself from
the ravages of worry and so retain her
youth for longer period, she must
come into more frequent contact with
other people, as her husband does, and
read good books; she must relieve the
monotony of her duties and the limiting
influence OF confinement within four
walls by taking outdoor exercise "a
walk every day or a spin on a bicycle;
in short, she must exercise the body
and mind in a healthful manner, and
she will find the bloom of youth and
health remain with her for years after
it has faded in other women OF the
same age. 1.-The ordinary woman"
says celebrated physician, '1eads such
a monotonous existence that her mind
has no occupation but worry. What
she needs Is to come out of herself
much more than she docs. She must
have intercourse with more people and
take more exercise. This can be done
without neglecting the home, and every
right minded man Will do his best to
secure for his mother or his sister or
his wife these aids to the retention Of
Southfulness of body and mind"

three persons in a German family
named Longhans were seriously hurt.
The storm struck the town about

semi-circular in shape 1t did not take
everything in its path but went by

roll like a barrel. The funnel did not
come straight down. but rolled along on
the ground on its side. which accounts
for its taking a semi-circular path.
The first building struck was the home
of Mrs. Melluse, which was moved off

blown down on the heads of the family.

formation. I hope to learn fully later
in the day
Mr.. Benedict left Topeka about a
month ago to make his permanent resi-
dence in Los Angeles where he expect
ed to continue in the real estate buai-
ness. He had not. however, opened an
office. Previous to leaving Topeka he
had disposed of his business and all his
property excepting his home and one or
two other houses. Mr.. Benedict Is
worth about $4,000 and carried heavy
accident insurance.
E. W. Benedict is As years of age and
until a month ago was rest
dent of Topeka, being engaged in the
real estate business. Mr. Benedict had
lived here 13 or IA years becoming well
known as one of the most active hust-
lers of the town. He was active
in securing pavements and country
road improvements. Although engaged
in the real estate business Mr.. Benedict
was a lawyer by profession.
He was born at Prairie City, Ill. and
secured his education in the public
and Illinois Wesleyan universities. After
his graduation he entered a law Office
and kept up the study of law, being
admitted to the bar in 1886. After that
he moved to Kansas, opening an office
at Larned where he remained until
coming to Topeka. The Benedict family
besides himself, consists Of his wife and
five small children. Their home IN
Topeka was at the corner of Thirteenth
and Buchanan streets on one of the
prettiest locations in the west part OF
town.
1t is not known whether the auto-
mobile which Mr.. Benedict was driving
at the time of his accident was his own
or a rented vehicle. T. =. Dewey. su-
preme court reDorter. who occupies Mr..
Benedict's residence, received a letter
from Mr. Benedict only two or three
days ago in which Mr.. Benedict COM
piained because his automobile had not
vet reached Los Angeles. It had been
shipped from Topeka by freight and Mr.
Benedict thought it was too slow in
reaching Los Angeles From this ii is
thought that POSSIBLY the car he was
driving at the time of the accident was
a rented one with which he was un~
familiar.

W. Bum for the Northern Pacific. Dis
trict Attorney Haupt appeared for the
government and at once opened the
argument against the petition presented
on Friday by the attorneys for the Sc
curities and railway companies. Under
the provisions of the act for expediting
such matters all the judges should sit
and he thought the action not one
which could properly-eVen in part-be
set aside. The government had sought
to prevent the violation of law and that
was what the decree enjoined- The de-
PENDANTS were, he maintained, asking
the court to nullify the decree. to per
nit a violation of law. The decree was
in accordance with public policy and
really enjoined an nuisance He cited
cases to sustain his contention that such
a suspension was not permissible ex-
cept in a case where the damages could
be estimated IN dollars and cents,
whereas this was purely a request to
permit a violation Of a statute. The
fact of losses to stockholders was he
admitted unfortunate, but since the
corporation was violating law there was
nothing for the court to do but to see
to the enforcement Of the law The Pc
tition was in reality request to sus-
pend a statute and not to suspend
decree
Judge Young. for the Northern Sc
curities contended that the fact of an
appeal to a higher court was of itself a
form of suspension Of the decree and
of the dividends would not in any way
affect the general terms Of the decree.
This suspension of z. small part of the
decree would not be a violation of the
law to prevent a restraint of trade. The
injunction being obeyed, would be just
as effective whether the dividend pay
ing be permitted or not He maintain
ed that the dividend injunction was
practically ancillary and did not come
under the main injunction, which re-
ferred to the running of the railroads
No harm could result if the Northern
Securities was permitted to distribute
the dividends instead of having the
money accumulate in the banks of New
York. He insisted the money would
reach the same people ultimately and
that TO give them now would benefit
them and harm no one else.
c. ". Bum, general counsel for the
/ Northern Pacific railway, maintained
( that the petition was not for a suspen-
I sion of q decree against a violation of
I law but that this was clearly a case in
equity under the provisions Of common
law. He considered the request perfect
/ " fair and Just but that the action in
opposing it was unfair.
Mr. Haupt repeated his contentious as
to the violation of the statutes, arguing
against the points presented by Judge
Young and Mr.. Bum. Judge Sanborn
then announced that his decision would
! be announced at noon.

BAD man Gone.
Outlaw Mckinney Resisted Ar
rest and Was Killed.
He Had a Number of Murders
Charged to Him.

Bakersfield, Cal, April 2o.-James Nc

was also killed and Constable Packard
was fatally shot

rounded Mckinney shortly before II
o'clock in a house in the center of town.
Will Tibbets and Packard approached
Mckinney in the house and ordered
him to surrender. Mckinney answered
by shooting Win Tibbets was shot
through the stomach and died shortly
after; Packard was shot through the
neck and shoulders and dangerously
wounded Burt Tibbets, a brother of
the dead deputy sheriff, then shot Nc
Kinney through the mouth and neck.
killing him.
Mckinney had been in Bakersfield
two days and was harbored by friends
in Chinese joss house. The house was
a regular fort. In the place with Nc
Kinney was HUI Hulse, a desperate.
Mckinney had sawed-off shotgun in
his hand, while Hulse used a pistol.
Hulse would not obey the order to come
out of the barricaded house and the
fire department was ordered to the
scene. Hulse gave up. He was taken to
the county Jail
Another accompliee of Mckinney was
known to be in the house where the
battle . took Is place PIT -1e would s 9ot
surrender ike hGlse AT 1850 b. IA. the
building was set on IRE and in Is min
utes the man was smoked out and ta-
ken to jail.
Mckinney was accused of having
committed several murders. He was
native of California, and was first sent
to the penitentiary from Tulare county
for assault to murder, and after his
release went to Randsburg, Cal, where
he figured in some further shooting
trouble. He escaped trial, coming to
Bakersfield soon afterWard, where, in
the latter part of 1900, he shot and kill
ed Tom Sears, a gam bier. the result of
a. dispute over a game of cards No
one saw the fight, and Mckinney was
acquitted.
Last July in Poterville he killed Billy
Lynn and wounded Constable John
Willis and another man IL a drunken
row. He made a sensational escape
from capture, and for several months
wandered practically unmolested around
the country. A few weeks ago Sheriff
Collins located him a HeEmOSillO Mex
leo. and an application for his extradi-
ton was made. The Mexican authori-
ties however had released him before
the arrival of the papers, and he dis
appeared again for parts unknown.
Nothing more was heard of him until
April 5. when news came from King
man. A T. that Mckinney had mur-
dered Charles Blakely, known as the
cowboy pianist" and Roy Winchester,
a young miner. Nothing definite is
known of the cause of the murder. but
it is thought that Mckinney took the
men for officers and lay in wait for
them on the trail
After the shooting the murderer
went to a ranch and compelled the
rancher to shoe two horses for him,
and then rode away.
Posses started in pursuit of McKin-
ney, but he eluded them and succeeded
in reaching Bakersfield. where his two
brothers live.

who was indicted by the Cole county
grand jury, is here now arranging his
bond. which Judge HAZEL has fixed at
Sc, ,000 Senator Matthews has nothing
to say except that he asks the public to
withhold criticism until he has his day
in court when he says his innocence
will be established beyond a doubt

against Daniel J. Kelley. the lobbyist
of the Baking Powder trust. There are
three separate indictments against
Kelley so that in seven returned there
are four others to be indicted.
The New York lawyer. who attends
to KeIley's interests, said his client
