Tribune from Montgomery, Ala, says:
The investigation into the enforced
slavery of negroes in this state yes
terday developed one death from i'll
treatment and the arrest of an agent
who is accused of plotting to sell ne
groes into peonage.
Witnesses before the federal grand
jury testified that death resulted from
the punishment accorded a negro wo-
man who was held in servitude ON one
of the farms. This woman, accused
of being rebellious and because she
would not pile and burn the brush out
by dozen ax-men, she was laid across
log and given 100 lashes. Still
showing a rebellious spirit her hands
were tied and the rope thrown over
the limb of a tree and pulled up so
as to leave 1t barely possible for her
toes to reach the ground. The wo-
man died two days later.
F. M. Pruett, liveryman of Good
water, was arrested charged with con-
spiracy to sell Ed Moody, a negro, to

Topeka Kans., May 29-The floods

train is tied UP somewhere on the Her
rington branch. The wires are nearly
all down. Only the st. Joseph line
to Topeka is working. At Keats a
cloudburst at midnight put the town
under three feet Of water. The Union
Pacific system is in little better condi-
ton. At Calhoun Bluffs, east of To
peka, the tracks are covered. The
water is over the first floors Of the

places between here and Wamego."

 My dear boys," said the kindly old pedagogue, with tears in his eyes, q can never hope to tell you how you have made me feel by this token of your love for me. All I can do IS to thank you for the sacrifices you have made of your little purses for the sake of. my comfort. If you have found me severe at times, I trust you realize that it has always been for your own good. I hope to al ways have your full confidence, as you have ever had mine.''

WOULDN'T TAKE SEAT,

She was neatly but not elaborate iy dressed. In spite of her pretty, fresh face, it was easy to see that she was tired. She evidently had been working all day. She sat wear fly, says. the Kansas City Star, in the only remaining vacant seat on a Fifteenth street car. The occupants of the car were all women except three men, who sat nearly opposite her. They were evidently travelling salesmen, judging from their con- versation, as they told of the differ ent towns that they had made dur ing the week. and of the shattered hearts they had left in the various hotel dining-rooms. At Twelfth and Walnut streets a woman, probably 55 years old, boarded the car. Her features showed years of hard toll. Her hair was gray. She walked to the center of the car, glanced around, and, seeing no vacant seat, reached up and took hold of a strap. The three travelling men did not budge Their conversation suddenly became more earnest. It was only for a mo- ment that she stood there. The girl was on her feet.
 "Please take my seat," she said with smile. The older woman hesi- tated, then yielded. She sat down with a profusion of thanks. In an instant the three men were on their feet. e =.
 Please take my seat" they all said, in chorus, to the pretty girl.
 The young woman drew herself tc her full height, and she was not very tall. One z. whitening glance took them all in.
 'I thank you, but gentlemen Gem phasis on 'gentlemen') who are Sd tired that they could not give this l old lady a seat are certainly too tired for me to disturb
 The men left the car at Fifteenth and Grand. avenue, but, womanlike the girl avoided the seat vacated by them, and did not sit down until an other woman got off, two blocks be. | yOnd.
