A Pipe Dream.

For many moons, we watched and
wated-ayc, yes, for many iortnights.
We waited patiently sometimes, and
sometimes. possibly, we were irritatcd
We were waiting for the cause from
which were to spring the results, not
that we cared ior the cause, for we didn t.,
but we were sorely impatient watching
for the realization OF the bright pros
Dects which the cause was to bring fort1.
We filed our pipe of patience and breath
cd the smoke deep into our lungs. we
waited and waited and watched. At
last. we wearicd of waiting; our eyclids,
heavy from long watching, dropped; we
bowed before the throne of Morpheus,
goddess of slumber. Our pipe dropped
from our lips and the small remaining
spark of hope lay, a crumbled mass OF
ashes at our feet. We dreamed, and' III
our dream we seemed waiting for some
thing we knew would never come. what
could il be? We knew. not, and yet we
seemed to know. We waited and wait
ed; we inquired of some one how soon 1t
would come. Twenty minutes, came
the response; then we knew it was a
train. Minutes lapsed into hours, and
it came not Then our heart gave a
bound as our ears canght the faint hint
of n whistle. Nearer and nearerit came,
and then whistlcd one long, hideous,
blood curdling scrcech. We awakened
with start, to find ourself doing in the
office chair, and the whistle we had heard
was the voice of the ice man. We picked
up our pipe, lit it anew, and wrote the
following =,
"The passenger train promised on the

past seven years didn't come Sunday, as

handed her sheet of note paper, On which was
written the autograph of King Alexander
Nothing was said as to the person from whom
the writing came; no questions were asked and
no information was given.
Mrs. Brchell did not open the paper, but
held it folded in her hand. She had hardly
grasped it when she exclaimed: "This belongs
to royalty"
Then, becoming very excited she fell from
her seat, only being saved from striking the
floor by her neighbor, who cought hei. She
exclaimed in great agitation, "Terrible! Ter
rible!'
Then she collected herself and said
cit is bloody scene look on. There is
murder being done. l see the interior of pal
ace: There are king and queen. They are
together alone. Then men and soldiers burst
into the room anG attack them
"They kill the king. He is dead, and the
queen, OH how she cries for mercy and begs
for her life! But fear for her. l cannot SEE
whether she escapes or not. The king is killed.
Oh, it is terrible.
Only the Servian gentleman and myself knew
that the sheet of paper borethe king of Servia's
signature. AS Tor the clairvoyant, l doubt very
much whether she knows where Seria is or that
such a monarch as Alexander existed
After the seance was over the Seavian repaired
to the home of Mr. Mijatovitch, the Servian
minister, and related to him the prophecy of the
coming assassination of King Alexander, which
had been so wildly and dramatically given.
The next day the minister visited Mr.. Stead
for confirmation of the startling prediction.
He was so impressed with the facts that he sent
an urgent private dispatch to the king warning
to be prepared for an attack, especially to have
himself guarded in his palace, as it was there
the psychic had seen him murdered. "The
warning" continued Mr.. Stead, 'was in vain,
the king and queen were assassinated III their
palace, as the clairvoyant had torseen three
month before.''

George Thomas PardOned.

George Thomas, who was sent to the
penitentiary for killing Gertrude Baird,
has been pardoned bv Governor Bailey,
and he is now at Hutchinson.
The Topeka papers roast Bailey to a
crisp for pardoning Thomas. They say
it was dirty political trick; that the
pardon was secret affair, and that
Thomas was at liberty days before it
became generally known. United States
Senator Burton, himself moral leper
and an all-around renegade, acted in
Thomas behalf, and wrote to Governor
Bailey to the effect that Thomas pun
ishment was much greater than his OF
Tense, in other words, that twelve years
in the penitentiary is too great a pun
ishment for debauching girl and ther
giving her drugs that caused her death.
Governor Bailey has not added to his
list of friends by this act Decent people
have no use for such conduct.

"a CALL TO ARMS"

7. A. Edgerton has issued an unofficial call
for conference, at Denver, July 27th, of all
reformers, in order to unite all elements that
are opposed to Republlcanism and Cleveland
Democracy. Mr.. Edgerton claims to be some
thing of Socialist, but he does not like the
plans advocated by the ''crank" Socialists who
are working 10 secure Socialism in our day.
Mr.. Edgerton is conscientious reformer,
and has done much effective work, with tongue
and pen, to bring about changes in conditions
that would benefit the masses, but he makes
mistake when lie so severely criticizes the ear
nest efforts OF the Socialists.
We believe, with Mr.. Edgerton, that there
must be union OF all of the forces opposed to
capitalism before any lasting good can be &C.
compished, but we fail to see any true way out
of our dilemma except through Sociallsm-oy
which the government will be placed into the
hands of the people.

WONDERFUL PHYCHIE EXPERIENCE.
The Assassination of King Alexander ForetOId

Following is an article written by B @. Flower,
editor of the Arena The experience, as given
by Mr.. Flower, was related by William T.
Stead, the noted London editor. We give it as
a curiosity. Doubtless some of our readers ac-
cept it as the truth, while others will merely
consider it as flight ot fancy, dream or
nightmare. At any rate there is material for
thought in the article. Read it; believe or dis
believe, as you will:
No living man has done more during the past
decade to interest orthodox Christians in psy-
chial investigation than Mr.. VIM. 7. Stead, the
famous editor. His own remarkable experience
in automatic writing and he wonderful tests he
has received from time to time that demonstrat
ed the possibility OF spirits under certain cir
cumstances communicating with those still in
the physical form have led tens of thousands of
thoughtful Christian men and women to inves-
tieate psychic phenomena, with the result that
interest in the problem about which Spiritual
lists.
One of the most striking and best authenti-
Gated prophecies of coming event that has
been recently recently recorded is just now the
talk of the day in London. 1t occurred in the
rooms of Mr.. Stead on the night of the goth of
March last There were ten or twelve persons
present; the medium Mrs. Burchell, an
unlettered Yorkshire woman, who, however,
possesses remarkable psychic, and she read
ENTHUSIASTICALLY to the establishment of those
assembled, who were unacquainted mediunstic
powers At length the remarkable prophecy
was made, which l gave in Mr.. Stead's own
words as cabled to the New York American and
published on June II.
At last, Servian gentleman present, whose
nationality was unknown to the clairvoyant,

food sufferers should be relieved?"
We do not believe, with the Topeka Herald,
that Governor Bailey has received more than
mis- share of criticism. He cannot possibly be
criticized or condemned too severely. But the
legislature is equally guilty, and majority of
the members deserve to be branded as towards.
What right had they to allow the Governor to
dictate to theml Is the governor of state
bigger than the legislature? Does the governor
make the laws or appropriate the moneys nee
essary to properly conduct the affairs OF the
state?
Senator Cubbison, of Kansas City, Kas., and
Senator Henley, of Lawrence, were certainly
expected to work for the relief of the people OF
their respective communities (they were among
the worst suferers), but these two senators,
like the arrant towards they have proved them
selves to be, refused to lift finger or utter
word in behalf of those who have suffered so
much. And the excuse they give is that they
had, previous to the assembling of the legisia-
ture, made pledge to Governor Bailey to OPP
pose relief measure Bailey says they made
no pledges to him, but Cubbison comes back,
aud saws he was coerced. Such men should be
laid away OH the shelf, politically-not only
CuIbison and Henley, but every legislator who
voted against relief measure.
This cowardly act has made Kansas the
laughing stock OF the whole country. We
Dragged of our great prosperity. We have
pointed with pride to OUT great crops, our fine
horses and cattle, our great oil and gas fields,
our coal mines our beautiful homes, our banks
whose vaults were bursting with money. But,
when flood comes and sweeps away the homes
and personal belongings of few thousands OF
our people, we-no; our egslatois-refuse to
contribute of our great wealth to help our
stricken brethren.
But, it wasn't the peoples fault-not bit of
if. If relief measure had been submitted to
the people, it would have carried with whoop.
The people of of Kansas are generous. They
never fail to go down into their pockets to aid
the needy and distressed. They wouldn't have
cared if the legislature had appropriated mil
lion dollars to help the flood sufferers. They'd
have paid it, and never made kick.
But there's one thing the Legislature didn't
fail to dot didn't fail to appropriate twelve
thousand dollars to pay the members for going
to Topeka and-doing nothing! For shame!
1. seems 10 us there's good lesson in all
this. 1t ought to set the people to thinking.
1t should show them some of the beauties of
Socialism, under which nobody would suffer
long, so far as property losses are concerned,
for under that system, the injury of one is the
concern of all, and when one brother falls, all
the others are ready, with outstretched hands,
to help him up again.
We just throw this out as hint. Think 1t
ovel and enlarge upon as much as you please.
