RISKS OF CORRUPTION.
Recent Revelations Show That Bood.
lars Are Pretty Sure to Be Caught.

philadelphia Ledger: The sensational
chanter added to tho story of the Mis-
souri, legislative corruption by the con-
fession of ex-State Senator Buschs con-
tains some impressive morals. Here was
a man who had had a successful career
as a lawmaker, adding to his salary ex-
tras amounting to about $4,000 In hve
wears. In business he has always been
considered above ~reproach, and his hon.
estv as a member of the legislature was
not generally doubted. The investiga-
lions prosecuted by the circuit attorney,
Mr.. Folk, have apparently come close
home to the guilty bribetaker, ana, with
undoubted sorrow for his misdeeds, he
has relieved his conscience, and, incl
dentally, secured some prospect of i'm
munity, by making a clean breast OF his
mart in the wholesale Missouri corrup-
ton.
No broad generalization would be sat
isfed from this particular case, beyond
the conclusion that bribetaking Is poor
policy for a man with a good business.

sensitive conscience. But in connection

to be mixed up In lobby methods. If the
murder be the safest of crimes, legislative
boodling is one Of the most dangerous.
There are so many implicated; future
complications are so possible and exigen-
'cies so uncertain. In Missouri the work
of the corruptionists during the last five
wears has been pretty fully revealed;
much has come to light regarding legls-
lative crimes perpetrated as far back as
1889. Under the indefatigable efforts Of
one man, the whole system has crumbled
to pieces, the boodlers betraying each 9TH
err without the slightest display Of the
i"honor" commonly attributed to the
baser type of criminals; the gang is scat

Some members of 1t are In exile and some
In Jail. Political careers progressing TO-

What has happened In Missouri may

chair and yawned. do be brief"

grumbled the young man sullenly.

not at ALL"
~"There-there, I was only trying
to hurryS you up q Bit" said the
other, seeing that he could gain
nothing by his irritation.

And who Is he3" and Ellison
drew his chair nearer, and the bored
looked disappeared from his face.
His real name they don't know,
but he goes by the nickname Of VIII

Yes, he's q escaped convict, for
he vas IN for 20 years, and on'y es-

others. 'Mong them vas a man he'd

That was how the story the fellow

walked up and down the room a few
PAGES, finally returning and standing

most successful developments of the nine

CHAPTER XII.
N FOES.

It was strange that a bit of paper
q scrap Of torn e~nvelope-could have
such a tonic effect on an elderly mans
spirits, but Job Hendricks seemed high
ly elated over the discovery he had
made In the Fllisons' house.
While the sudden fitting of Ellison
was a surprise to him, he believed he
should have no trouble in finding him,
for he would have to appear when the
murder case came up for trial.
When he assured himself that the
young girl had been taken away that
morning by her father, he felt that for
the present he had no business further
in the town. What settled the question
of his going was when he entered his
room at the inn and found his bag had
been broken and its meager contents
scattered about. 1t appeared as If the
searcher, in a rage, had tossed the
things recklessly around because III
could not find what he wanted.
Job accepted the incident with good
humor.

said to himself. with that in Ellison's
possession he might bite his thumb at

The most important articles of his
belongings he thrust in his bullying
pockets. and the rest he restored to the

Four Inches Of Rain Falls in One Night

Kansas City, June 1.-Nearly four
inches of rain fell In portions Of Kan

bank-full streams, rendering the flood
In that state most serious. Today IT is

enormous damage and to cause the
most serious food perhaps in the his
tory of the state. Bridges are washed
out, railway tracks submerged and
thousands Of acres Of bottom lands
covered. Hundreds OF telegraph poles
are down and Geographic communica-

Hearing OF the efficacy Of the Roent-

the upper lip, a lady In Hanover; aged
80, applied TO DIR. Karl Bruno Schur-
mayer, a properly qualified doctor and
Roentgen ray specialist, for treatment.
He operated twice, but instead OF re-
moving the superfuous hairs the oper-
alton resulted in h skin OF the face
becoming red and the lips swollen. The
lady thereupon brought an action
against the doctor and was awarded
$50 damages. against which he appealed
but the decision has just been upheld.
