Charles q. Moore in Limbo.

On Wednesday of last week a
young man named Chas. I'll.
Moore was arrested at Hoising-
ton, charged with grand larceny
He waived examination before a
justice of the peace, and now lies
in jail in default of $500 bond
to appear before the district
court.
Moore had been working for
Henry G. Cook, northwest OF
town. The day before Christmas
the Cook family went away, and
on their return the only thing OF
Moore they could find was a few
of his old clothes. Moore was
missing, and more was missing.
For Instance: An oyercoat, a
suit of mems clothes, a $5 bill
and some loose change, and two
rare coins valued at SO each. 1t
was supposed that Moore would
break for the Mo. p. railroad
and try to make his get away.
Upon the sheriff going to Hois-
ington a few hours after the loss
was discovered, Moore was
found, with the missing clothes
on him, but minus the money.
Good capture.

of the many items, that go to

OUR old friend Henry Block, of
the Syracuse Journal, having
recently had the pleasure of par
taking of a fine meal at the
Harvey eating house in his city,
will doubtless be telling his wife,
for the next six months, how to
cook. Henry, better stay at
home and eat common grub, and
keep out of trouble.
The attention of our read ers
is called especially to the article
elsewhere in this paper on
bright Prospects For Farmers"
The statements made by Mr..
Bookwalter are carried out by
the experience and knowledge of
our own people here, and all
should be encouraged by the
bright outlook that NATURAL
not political-conditions have
brought about.
THERE are probably more old
people i'll in Great Bend and sim
mediate vacinity than there
have been for many a day. The
town and community is of the
age now that many OF the earlier
settlers, who came here in the
prime of life, and underwent the
hardships incident to the settle
ment of a new country. now be-
gin to feel the wearing effects of
the early day struggles. May
the new year bring allhealth and
vigor and a renewed interest in
life is the wish of the DEMOCRAT
publishers.
SENATOR MORGAN, of Ala
bama, in a recent interview, says
the power of the American PEG
pie is greater than corporation
wealth. That it is slow in arous
ing, but once awakened, nc
wrong can stand before it. FL,
says changes come quickly, ane
that it is possible that the exist
ing order of things will be up
turned before the presidential
election of 1904. We believe
unless congress handles the trust
question vigorously, his posi-
bility will become a certainty.
The demand of the pops fol
ssmore money" is not a "patch.
i'm to the howl of the gold bugs
now and for some time going up
for the same thing. The only
difference is: the Pops demanded
good sound money, based on the
whole wealth of the country and
every dollar as good as any
other dollar, while the gold bugs
want wildcat money. But they
are bowling like a pack of wolves
just the same.
COUNTY ATTORNEY SEAMAN, OF
Wabaunsee county, who has
caused such a commotion in
liquor circles, is one of our old
time friends. We regret very
much the step he has taken in
this matter for the reason, that
he is conscientious in his dealings
and, having been cussed and
discussed for the past two years
by the dry element of his county,
for not taking any action, he is
now getting the same kind of
treatment, from the same class
of people, because he took the
matter in hand, as he did.
Doubtless an endless and ex-
pensive chain of litigation would
have suited the drys a little
better, but Seaman is too good
and sensible man too start
anything like that.

ADMIRAL COOK RETIRES
AN OLD SEAMAN WITH WIDE EXPERIENCE
LEAVES THE SERVICE
Born In Northampton, Mass, But Calls
Annapolis His Home Entered
The Naval Academy
In 1860.

Rear-Admiral Francis A. Cook. who
commanded the Brooklyn, Admiral W.
5. Schleys flagship, at Santiago, was re-
tired on Saturday after forty years service
on his own application.
Admiral Cook is an Annapolitan from
choice. Tie calls Annapolis his home and
has suite of apartments at Mrs. M. k.
Casters, on Hanover street. opposite the
Naval Academy wall. He is an old sea-
man Of wide experience and master OF
the theory and practice OF navigation.
Rear-AdmiraI Cook was born in North
ampton, Mass, in IS43. was graduated
from the high school OF his native town,
and was preparing for.College at Dudley
Institute when, September 20, 1900. he
received an appointment 10 the Naval
Academy. He left the school. then at
Newport. r. 4, with the class Of '65. and
was assigned to duty on the Seminole,
then engaged in blockading Texas.
Captain Cook began service as ensign
under Farragut, who commanded the
Gulf Squadron. Soon after he was or
dered to the gunboat Tennessee, and
thence to the Lackawanna, on which he
remained till after the fall OF Mobile.
After Lees surrender he proceeded to
the Brooklyn navy yard with his vessel,
which was then ordered out OF commits
sion. After a months furlough he was
ordered to the Vanderbilt.
The Vanderbilt, with the Monadnock,
under the command OF Commander John
Rodgers, made voyage around Cape
Horn, across the Pacific and return to
San Francisco. This was notable as the
first long voyage of an ironclad After
this voyage he was promoted to master
and transferred to the Saranac, of the
North Pacific Squadron. On February
/, 1867, he became lieutenant, and a
lieutenant-commander in March, 1868.
In the same year he was detached
from the Pacific Squadron and ordered
to duty at the Naval Academy as in
structor in mathematics. In 1870 he was
transferred to the Pacific Squadron, where
he served as navigator on the Saranac,
Pensacola and Richmond. Four years
later he was ordered to the receiving
ship Sabine at Portsmouth. from which,
after two years service, he was assigned
to duty as executive officer on the Plym-
outh, and made cruise up the MlSsiss-
ippi River as far as Vicksburg.
In 1879 the Plymouth went out of
commission, and he returned to the Ma
val Academy as head of the department
of seamanship. In 1883 he was APP
pointed inspector of the eleventh light
house district, with headquarters at De-
troit Three years later he was placed in
command of the sloop Ranger and as
signed to special service on the lower
coast of California. In 1889 he became
inspector Of ordnance at the Boston navy
yard, and in 1893 was transferred to the
Navy Department in Washington as an
assistant to chief of Bureau of Navigation.
There he remained, attaining the rank
of captain in 1896, until he assumed
command of the Brooklyn. He COM
manded this vessel while it was part of
the Flying Squadron under Commodore
Schley, and afterwards when it was at.
tached to Rear-Admiral Simpsons fleet.

To Prevent Running. "

Considerable trouble has been caused
by the running of the "pleles by the
upper classmen at the Naval Academy,
who have been deprived OF their usual
summer leave on account of deficiency
in one or more studies.
Commander Badger summoned num-
Der of these midshipmen to his office
yesterday and gave them talk on the
subject. The result of this talk is not
known.
The notice of the authorities was at /.
tracted by the large number of fourth
classmen reporting to the sick quarters
in the mornings, complaining Of stiff
legs, &c, and there were several cases
in which midshipmen were compelled to
remain in the hospital for several days.
Some radical measures will probably be
taken to prevent this practice.

Aftermath of The Launching.

The crui er Maryland stuck on the
ways as she was being launched at New

to friction melting the tallow with which
the ways were fabricated. General Super.
intendent Post says the vessel can be cas-.
lily pulled off by tugs and that there is lit
tie possibility of injury to the big steel
hull. After the launching a brilliant
luncheon was given at Old Point, at
which the speakers were Governor Smith,
Governor Montague, Senator Thos. S.
Martin. Gen. Felix Agnus, Assistant
Secretary Darling and State Senator
Robinson. Governor Smith, in his speech,
declared that the United States should
