they have failed so far to give out a
truthful account of the game in their
home town. A write upof the game

of the scores made in the first half,
but fails to mention the touchdowns
Renyille made in the second and
leaves the reader to infer that no
scores were made. In another line
Mr.. Wallace is praised for his refer
eeing and yet he allowed the touch
downs Renville made in the last
half, and called the score Is to in
Renville's favor. The writeup also
alleges that the game was not played
out, but called off. AS matter Of
fact there was but minute left to
play after Renville made her third
touchdown and. the referee called
the time up. The Redwood team is

During the last TWO years the Brit
ish navy has hreu stren2theHcd by
the addition of Il new type of gun
which Will undoubtedly 90 long way
toward insuriH& the supremacy of
Great Britain over the seas for many
years to come. say the London Tit
bits. This gun is known as the
| tweive-inch steel aHG wire Gun and is
not only the best weapon which tlc
royal navy has ever had, but is far
superior to any sult possessed by amy
foreign power.
Although it weighs only fifty tons.
the new gun will bc the heaviest in
the service, seeing that it is taking the
place of the 11O, lo0 and eiehty-ton
guns. OF which no more are to be
made. What the new weapon lacks
| in weight. however, it makes up in
power, being capable of throwing
shells distance of no less than
| twenty miles. No accuracy of aim
could of course, be obtained OF main
tanned at this long distance, the effect
i've range being 10000 yards, CT be-
tween nine and ten miles.
Altogether the gun is forty-one feet
in length and has the amazing muzzle
velocity of 1857 feet per second, the
projectile weighing $50 pounds. Each
| man n-of-war will carry four of these
formidable weapons and when the
nsSy is supplied they will be issued to
| the forts on the sea fronts. A remark
abe 80 rC~cri'ir% t'.s:s gun is that
Tic hreech 1cCch"rism is of very
simple design, easily taken to pieces
and put together again and can be
| worked by one man.
What is undoubtedly the biggest
and heaviest gun in tae world has
lately been built by Uncle Sam at the
United States arsenal, Watervliet,
N. Y. It's range is claimed to be one
mile more than the tWelve-ineh stee!
| and wire gun with which the British
| navy is being supplied but it is nearly
| three times the weight Altogether
| the new American gun weights l34
tons, is nearly fifty feet long and fires
projectile weighing no less than
2,370 pounds.
Machinery to the value of 100000
had to be specially built in order to
make this gigantic weapon, the actual
making of which has taken about four
years. In spite of its enormo is bulk
and weight, however. the gun is as
easily handled as the lightest field
piece The breech lock weighs one
ton, but it is so contrived that child
could operate the machinery which
opens it and swings it clear. In fact,
every part of the gun is built as ac-
curately as the works of watch.
In addition to the fact that this gun
| is said to possess the longest range of
any weapon in the world it is claimed
that shot fired from it into the air
would reach an elevation of nearly
six miles, The greatest height reach
ed by Krupp shell in its flight was
little over four miles The muZzle
velocity of the American gun is 1900
feet per second and the projectile,
backed by SIC pounds of smokeless
powder, will penetrate nearly forty
three inches of steel at the muzZle.
AS matter of fact, nothing in the
line of defensive armor has yet been
invented that would stop one of the
guns projecties at distance of five
miles.

The Method OF ClariCe

Clarce was in a futter when she re-
eeivea an invitation to the Perrines'
dinner dance. says the Chicago News.
The Perrines We're young. rich and
we'll bred and then entertained sump-

she said, looking hopefully at her,
mother.
Mrs Hull threaded a needle calmly
and then said: "If you had not spent
most of your allowance on that Per
sian cat you might have had a new
one
Clarce saw that there was no hope
in that quarter, so she turned her
attention to her grandmother. Didn't
you like new clothes awfully we'll

asked.
Grandma's backbone became a little
more rigid than common as she ans

How Long VIII They Server

When the city officers were elected
here last spring it was a question
whether they were to assume their
dignities for one year or for two be-
cause it was not known how the bi.
ennial election law would. affect then
Now that the statute book is out the
whole matter is more of a mix-up
than it was. The legislature last
winter passed two acts on the subject
and they are in the new session laws
on opposite pages, 267 and 26s. One
law provides for the election of cer-
tain officers in cities of the third class
and says they shall be elected every
year thereafter; the other provides
for the biennial election of officers in
cities of the third class. Both were
passed by the same legislature; both
were signed by the same governor.
The two year law was approved on
March I, and the one year law on
March 3. The two year law was pub
lished in the state paper and the one
year law became effective on publica-
tion in the statute book. Here is
something for the lawyers. The pub
lie may pay its money and take its
choice.

AN ESCAPED CONVICT.
Prisoner In Jail for Attempted As
sault Is Anxious to Return
Whence He Came.

The man in our Jail charged with
an attempted assault on white girl
living west of town told the sheriff
that he was an escaped convict from
Mississippi. The sheriff communi-
Gated with the warden of the peniten-
tiary of that state and as result a
deputy warden arrived last week with
a requisition for the prisoner, who
had claimed that he was serving a
life sentence. 1t was learned from
the deputy that the man had still five
years to serve in Mississippi, and as
he could be sent up for his known
offense in This state for more than
thirty years, the county attorney and
the sheriff decided to hold him for
trial in this or Pawnee county. The
deputy, failing to get his man. went
to Topeka for an executive warrant
This move was met by protests from
this county and from Pawnee county
and the warrant was refused. The
sentiment in both counties, where this
man is known to have committed
crimes, is very strong against allow
ing him to go back to Mississippi.
The prisoner himself is very anxious
to go.

OFFICIAL FIGURES.
Returns of the Recent Congressional
Election Received by the Sec
retary of State.

Complete returns from the special
election held in the Seventh district
have been received at the secretary OF
states Office from each Of the thirty
six counties which comprise the dis
trict. The returns show that Victor
Murdock's plurality is 1888 and
that he received 19, 984 votes. Clyne,
democrat, comes second with 6, S36;
Babb, populist. with 1908 votes, was
third in the race, and Roessler, So
cialist, last With l,078.
The returns show large increase
in the socialist vote, ROessler, the
socialist candidate this year, receiv-
ing 1,07S votes to GA cast for Bishir
last fall, gaia of 464. Last fall the
total vote cast in this district for
congressional candidates was 53, OBJ;
this year the total vote was 30, sol, a
shortage of 22,536 in. the district.
This year at the special election the
combined vote of Clyne and Babb
was 9,736, or IL, ,5S1 less than the vote
for the democratic candidate last fall
wheh the popuiist and democratic
vote was cast for one candidate. Mr..
Long received 3O,123 votes last fall,
or 10, 439 more than the total vote
cast in the district at the special cleo
tion for Mr.. MurdOck. Or, in other
words, the total vote cast this year
for all candidates was only 37S more
than the total vote cast in the district
for Mr.. Long last fall.
The returns as received by the Sec
retary of state show that Murd ock car
ried every county in the district and
got S.s67 more votes than all the three

Home Merchants VS.. Outsiders.


The Lawrence Gazette has the fol-
lowing to say about the mail order
business.
"Siuce the advent of the rural de-
livery systems great impetus has
been given to the Email order" busi-
ness and the great concerns like
Bareback, Smears & Co. have been
flooding the country with their ad-
vertisemepts. Some time ago through
machinatio an order was secured
through the postal department re-
quiring the rural route carriers to-
give a list of all their patrons to
these companies, and now every
family upon these routes receives all
kinds of advertising matters from all
these big concerns, in which it is
promised you can save great sums of
money upon any article you could be
induced to purchase.
"As result a few people are mis-
led into patronizing these mail order
houses, and we don't suppose any
thing these papers can say will have
any weight with those who want to
''buy a pig in poke" Only ex-
perience will teach them that they are
getting ''bitten." But to the think
ing man or woman the injustice of
this is evident from the fact that we
all must live off of one another. No
man is entirely independent Of every
one.
i ''The local merchant is entitled to
a little consideration. He lives
among US. He pays taxes that help
to support our schools, builds our
bridges and keeps the machinery of
the government in motion. He sup
ports the churches. When we need
q donation for whatever the object,
the first man approached is our local
merchant. If poor mans house
burns, he gives to help rebuild, and
If we are short of cash, the local
merchant credits us until the crop is
made.
1.-The mail order house gives moth
ing. You might build thousand
churches but they would give not a
cent. Your carcass might lie and
rot by the wayside for some one]to
bury you but they would never roll
clOd. In fact, you might starve for
the plainest necessities of life. but
you could not get one cent of credit
from them. You must send the cash
in advance, and then when your stuff
arrives, if it is not as represented,
you can't help yourself. 1t does no
good to kick.
''The local merchant is your neigh
Dor, your friend in need, and a, part
of your FOCAL community. When you
send cent of your money away,
you are stabbing your friend In the
back. You are tearing down your
own community in order to enrich
few goggle-eyed millionaire dudes
who would consider themselves dis
graced to wipe their feet upon such
common people as we all are. They
fish for Suckers and when they
catch oue,9 they "bump his head. I"
If your local merchant, neighbor and
friend sells you an article that is not
as represented he makes it right, or
you have the satisfaction of giving
him '!'eussing." You9 may save a
| little, temporarily, on the cost of
your goods, but in the long run you
are the loser, for you have done an
f! injustice to your neighbor and at the
cost of your own self-respect. We
unjust all live among, by and off one
another We are not independent
and cannot be- We must "hang to-
gether or we will hang separately.
