PROPOSES WHIPPING POST.
1 lie = 8 Legislat.re Earnestly Seek
inS to Have Petty FAieves Pa.
isAed with the Lash.

Representative Hams, Of Saline, No.,
has an aversion to small thieves, and in
order to punish them properly he
would testa blish q whipping post. He
would give them not more than 80
strokes on the bare back with raw
hide. For fear that the county officers
might try to escape inflicting the pun-
'shment, he would compel the con-
stable to WELD the quirt.
The bill reads as follows: $50
Every person who shall steal, take
and carry away any money or personal
property or effect of another under
the value of $50, not being the subject
OF grand larceny without regard to
value. shall be deemed guilty of petit
larceny, and, on conviction, shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding one year or
by fine not exceeding $500, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment, or by be-
ing whipped on the bare back with a
rawhlde by not less than ten nor more
than 80 lashes, in the discretion of the
court, justice. or jury trying the cause,
and it is hereby made the duty of the
constable of the township where the
conviction is had to do the whipping
imposed as punishment under the pro-
visions of this act.''
am in earnest about this bill, -
said Mr.. Hams. Though we have the
greatest proportion of good people in
the state, I must confess that there
are some thieves in Saline who should
be taught that there is something be-
sides three good meals day ahead OF
them when they are convicted Of rob
bing hen roosts and the like"

began to beat it. I called to her to
stop and she jeered at me. Then l
climbed over the fence and grabbed
her. l pulled the carpet off the line
and then, holding it down with my
feet. tried to get the stick away from
her. But she hit me in the face with
it. Then I dropped the carpet and
went at her and can tell you that l
gave her good drubbing. Then she
had me arrested. Ny case comes up

The doctor was pale with emotion.
Here was client, not patient. Like
flash he remembered that the let

How was this woman to know what
particular hours the lawyer kept
However, the case might help pay the
rent. So, with an effort, he informed
the woman that the assault was per-
fectly justifiable and that her case
would be attended to at once. The re-
tanning fee would be $40, with SIS addi-
tional after the trial. The money was
paid at once and the client departed.
Tolbert hurried away to find his
legal colleague and inform him of their
unexpected good fortune. Arriving at
Martins rooms, he related all with
breathless haste.
Thoughtfully the advocate listened
and then said:
She has no defense at all. She will
be fined and it will serve her right"
But" explained the medical side
OF the firm, "she is our client, and 1
have promised to defend her. She
has paid a retaining fee and-and we
need the money"

tin, "a good doctor is usually a poor
lawyer. I tell you there is no defense

have anything to do with it, and Il YOU
insist on such nonsense you can 90 and
defend her yourself. Any one can
practice before police magistrate"
Tolbert was stunned for moment,
How could Martin refuse this source

rent overdue?

WARDS OFF THE LIGHTNING
Newly Invented Clothing Warranted
to Protect the Wearer from
Electric Strokes. i

Thanks to the researches Of Rus
sian savant, man may now, ike

to be certain protection against q

least interfere with the movements.
OF the wearer. The garment is made
of fine gauze, of brass threads, and
consists of shirt and trousers that
reach below the feet. The sleeves
end in gloves that are provided with
buttons for fastening. A hood COW
ers the head, buttoning on the body
part of the safety garment, says q

When the wearer of this garment
approaches too near to the current
of an electric machine instead of

other across his intervening BODY
without shocking him, the discharge
going through the metallic covering.
The inventor of the lightning pro-
tector donned his gauze garment and
placed himself under a conductor
that had a tension of $4,000 volts.
With his hands, his elbows, his arms
and his head he attracted brilliant
sparks, but was not the leas, In

shot out from the machine. Al the
termination of the experiments Il
was found that the gauze garment
had not been damaged by the spark
with the exception Of small ho1es
at the points Of contact that did not
impair the protecting action Of the
invention.

ART TREASURES NEED ROOM
MT. fierpont MorEan's London House
Too Small to Accommodate
His Purchaser

According to the London Daily Ex-
press, the artistic treasures which !.
Pierpont Morgan is keeping in London
because OF the high tariff are increas-
ing so rapidly that his house at Princes
Gate cannot accommodate them. II
is no uncommon thing to see Gains
borough or Romney propped against
the staircase because there is no room
for it on the walls. Over one of the
mantelpieces hangs the famous ssDuch-
ess of Devonshire," most beautifully
lit up by electricity. A gray marble
ormolu console table cost its purchaser
$4,000. Three rose Du Barry vases
were brought by Mr.. Morgan at the
Coventry sale for omething like $50
600. New York could hold an exhibi-
ton of the miniatures which Mr.. Nor
gan has purchased and artistically ar
ranged in cabinet. Most of these are.
the work of Cosway and other great
miniature painters and have cost SIS 900
each.

VIII Reject mari Miniatures.

~ informed Of the affairs of the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art that the
museum trustees have practically de-
termined to decline the bequest made
to the museum by the late Peter
Mari of his famous collection of min
iatures. The reason governing the
trustees in reaching this decision, it
is said. is their feeling that Mr.. Mari's
miniatures make up what is more
particularly society gallery OF New
York beauties than q collection Of
works Of art snch as the museum i
sstablished to house. !,

BONDED ABsTRAcTERs.

Sherman County Abstract Company Only
Duly Authorized Abstracters.
The Sherman County Abstract com
Pany, by its manager, G. L. Calvert, fled
its bond with the American Surety com
Pany Of New York as sureties, with the
county clerk on August 4, as required
under the Few law regulating the bust
ness Of Rbstracting which took effect on
June 1, 1903. This law provides that It
shall be unlawful for any person, firm OF
corporation to engage in the business OF
abstracting or make abstracts Of title to
real estate in any Of the counties Of the
state Of Kansas without first having ex-
ecuted and filed with the county clerk Of
the county in which said person, firm or
corporation intends to engage in the
business Of abstracting bond executed
by some surety company authorized to
transact business in the state or a bond
signed by three or more good and sufi-
cisnt sureties-to be approved by the
board Of county commissioners Of said
county-in the penal sum Of five thous-
and dollars teOtOOO).
The Sherman County Abstract com
pany having complied with the above
provisions by having filed its bond ex-
ecuted by the American Surety company,
au thorized to transact business in this
state, and no other person, firm or cor
poration having filed a bond, or other
wise complied with said law, it will
readily be seen that the Sherman Coun-
ty Abstract company are the Orly legally
qualified parties in Sherman county who
are authorized to make abstracts.
Section 80 Of the statutes Of 1901 pro-
vides that the officers Of the various res
pective county Offices shall refuse the
use Of the records to abstracters who are
not bonded, and violation Of the abstract
law constitutes a misdemeanor and is
punishable by fine.
