WITH the experience this city

WITH the experience this city, and
the neighboring towns, have had
during the past few years with the
floating population of harvest hands
that come here for one to three
months work through wheat cutting
and threshing, there ought to be no
trouble about handling them properly.
While the most of these trancient men
are honest, hard working fellows, and
men who give no trouble if let alone,
there are always lot of toughs and
fakirs, tinhorn gamblers and dead
beats who seek the locality during
these times to prey upon the unwary.
Especial pains should be taken to
eliminate this gentry as much as
possible, and our peace officers should
be of the best and most alert. Take
in the crooks at the first opportunity;
put them on bread and water diet
with ball and chain ornaments, and
make them understand that the
Kansas wheat belt has rocky roads
for the crook to travel.

Leon Mignottes is known on the
boulevards for his ability to swallow
swords, bayonets, poniards, arrows
and things Of hard substance, carrying
on what he has made his profession
in front Of the cafes, and making 8
fairly good living. He is SO proud .o1
his feats that be often gives private
seances for the benefit of his acquaint
ances; and last night, after dining
with one of his friends, a dealer il
sponges, he took the knives from the
table one after another and passed
them down his throat Then he said
he would cap the performance By
swallowing sponge. which he would
afterward extract from his stomach
with the end Of a knife. The sponge
was brought to him, he dipped it II
wine SO that it would pass down cas-
lily, and then tried to fish it up with
the pointed knife, as he had prom
ised. Unfortunately for him, however
the sponge had swollen to very great
extent, and he was unable to extract
it. After some vain efforts, during
which time the expanding process con
tinued, it was thought advisable tc
proceed to the hospital as quickly az
possible. There the refractory sponge
was with some trouble drawn out
