Baby and Cat Rescued.

Kansas City, June "a babe and
cat in a baby buggy, borne on the
bosom Of the mighty Missouri, was
the strange sight that greeted a large
crowd of sightseers Tuesday after
noon at Wayne City, north Of lnde-
pendence. When the weight of the
child would threaten to capsize the
buggy, the cat, impelled by the in.
stinct OF self-preservation, would
climb to the upper end OF the buggy
and thus keepit balanced. Theque
little craft and its burden were safe
lylan ded at Wayne City and will be
held for Identification. There is
nothing to Indicate from what part
of the flooded district they came, or
how many miles they had drl!ted
thus.

A POLICEMAN PUT HER OFF.
Court Of Appeals Afirms a Judgment
Against a Railway.

X. @. Star. 9th.
The Kansas City court OF appeals
yesterday affirmed the jugdment oi
the circuit court Of this county, which
gave Eugene l.. Randall a verdict OF
81, 900 against the Chicago, Rock
Island & Parific Railway Company.
This Judgment was because of an
assault made upon Matte E. Randall,
vile OF Eugene.
Mrs Randall was a passenger on a
Rock Island train. She was riding
from Denver to Kansas City on a
ticket SHE hal bought from a broker
in Denver. She Travelled 500 miles on
this ticket to Bolleville. Kas., and
there another conductor took cnarge
OF the train and refused to hoLor her
ticket because the time limit had ex.
pired. He demanded that she pay
fare. She refused and at Topeka the
conductor called In a negro policeman
who dragged her from the car. The
court OF appeals says in affirming
the Judgment:
There was not the slightest excuse
for callingin the policeman, and when
called in there was nothing to justify
his dragging her backward out Of
the car and down the steps, intlicting
serious injuries upon her. 1t was an
act OF unnecessary violence and an
outrage without excuse.

aire Off the Naire Islands,
Near MarseiIIes.
At Least 100 Drowned.

Marseilles, June 7-More than 100

longing to the Fraissenet Steamship
company Of Marseilles. The Liban
sank and seventy. seven passengers
and seventeen OF the crew were saved,
while the remainder perished.
The collision was witnessed from
the pilot boat Blechamp, which was
about two miles distant. The
Blechamp Immediately repaired to
the spot to render assistance. The
force OF the collision had cut a great
hole lin the Liban's side andit already
was taking water rapidly. The cap
tain saw that the only chance was to
run the steam aground, and the
Liban was headed full speed for the
shore but within seventeen minutes
after the collision and while still in
deep water. the fore part of the steam
or plunged beneath the waves and a
few minutes later it had disappeared.
Officers of the steamer Balkan de-
scribe the scene just before the Liban
disappeared as terrible one. AS
the vessel was sinking it was inclined
to such an angle that her masts
struck the water, causing an eddy,
which made the work OF rescue most
difficult. A mass of human beings
was clinging to the laundering vessel
and uttering despairing cries after it
went down. At the same time the
boilers exploded, intensifying the
horrors. For q few moments the
victims were sesn struggling in the
water, then the waves closed over
them and all was silent. OF about
200 passengers who we're aboard the
Liban, it is feared that hall were
drowned.

POOR WHITES IN THE SOUTH.

of Southern history The story is not
long to tell For four years he fought
''the campaign as he sometimes calls
it, with IA valor never eXcelled in the
annals of war; and led by the nobleSt
body of gentlemen soldiers that ever
differed an army; fought himself to
a FRAGILE for the maintenance of his
own degradation and against his own
best interests. Such is the power of
intellect and education; it's thoughts
become the thought of all.
Ruin compelled the wealthy planter
to throw thousands of acres upon the
market at almost nominal prices. Hen

tween 1868 and 1873 there were 81, S24
Small farms sliced from the great plan
tations in Georgia, and that in the
three years previous to 1870 there were
10000 farms of less than 100 acres Gre
ated in Mississippi. Reasoning from
these figures, we may estimate that
the same tendencies must have ere
ated between 1865 and 1875 throughout
the entire South at least 100000 small
farms, mitch the greatest portion of
which went into the hands of white
men of small means. In 1850, when
manufactures were insignificant, there
We're 100 farms to every 1000 white
inhabitants of South Carolina; where
as in 1900, when upward of 100000
of her population We're dependent on
manufactures. there We're 125 farms
to every 1000 white inhabitants. The
average size of the farms of white
farmers throughout the South has
fallen from over $50 acres in 1860 to
17215 acres in 1900 Thus the poor
white man of the South is being re-
stored to his original heritage of small

Republican

Mr.. McKinleys majority i'm the electoral
college was only 137, and change OF sixty
nine votes would have defeated him. 1t will
be seen that there are enough negro voters
In the six states to have changed the re-
suit of the election. In every one of these
states except Ohio and New Jersey the
number of negroes is more than half the
majority; in Ohio it is very nearly one-half;
in New Jersey the majority would only
have to be cut down one-half. or 14,000,
to make the negroes more than one-half:
and If two-thirds of the negroes voted they
would have been more than one-half the
Republican majority in the States of Della
ware, Indiana, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, and nearly one-half in Kansas.
If these proportionate figures continue to
increase, the negroes may come to hold the
balance OF power, and in certain emerg-

States under it's control and the cans must
all come through that concern. Whether
or not the prices are high the Gamers must
pay them. Canneries are preparing to go
into the business this spring and summer
with greater avidity than ever. There is
hardly an exchange that has not some item
about contracts for tomatoes, beans, peas,
corn and asparagus made by canneries. One
of the great picking houses of the United
States has made Ii point to go into the
producing districts and make contracts
with farmers to grow a given number of
peas, beans and cucumbers for it's factories
alone. Upon the contracts being signed for
these the pickle men will erect a factory
and take the truck direct from these farm
ers.
The canning industry is competing very
largely with the commission merchants.
Truckers and growers all over the country
are beginning to realize that canneries offer
a positive price for produce, and many OF
them prefer to sell In this way rather than
TO take chances on consigning their produce
to some of the markets.
The cannerfes can never monopolize the
vegetable business because Ii Is too extern
sive, and the demands of the city markets
are such that the prices are better than
canneries can afford. The art of canning
Is growing apace with other improvements.
The consuming public is learning that GER
tain brands of vegetables put up by certain
has given the business its impetus. Toma-
toes can be bought In cans now almost as
good as fresh stock, and for cooking pur-
poses they are just as good. This alone
makes the sale of fresh tomatoes in the
markets during the winter time slow, and
the prices have ranged for poor California
and Florida tomatoes very low all the sea-
son. Later in the spring when the taste for
fresh tomatoes Is whetted the price Will be
better and consumption larger.
