Had None to Cut,

The House OF Representatives in
Washington was considering a DILL to
prohibit the docking of horses tails.
Congressman Perkins was speaking IN
favor of the measure when he was in
terrupted by Mr.. Cooper Of Wiscon-
sin, who asked: why does anybody
dock a horses tail?" Mr.. Perkins re-
piled: Chiefly because it looks great
deal better Why do you cut your hail
instead of having it down over your
sholderS?" The humor Of this reply il
any, lies In the fact that Mr.. Cooper
is about as bald as turnip

Passing Of a Fad.

The Chicago board of education has
condemned the vertical system OF
writing. Through its official bulletin
the board says: 1T is an injustice to
the child to impose system of hand
writing upon him and force him to
adhere to it through bis growing years
at the cost of not only suppressing bis
individuality in this acquired mode OF
expression, but also at the sacrifice OF
his time and the mental tluency that
comes with the ease which accompan-
les a mode of expression fitting the
individuals characteristics.

CONVICTs REVOLT.
An Uprising Of Prisoners in the Mis-

An Uprising Of Prisoners in the Mis-
souri, State Penitentiary.
A desperate attempt was made by
about fifty convicts at the Missouri
penitentiary to blow up that institu-
tion early Wednesday morning, killing
all the guards who ipterfered with
them and to turn loose on Jefferson
City some three hundred criminals.
At 10 o'clock Buck Williams, a
guard in charge OF the jail, heard
some one call, hold up your hands"
which was Immediately followed by
shot. Williams grabbed poker
and yelled at a convict, fire away"
Yardmaster Lehugh heard the
shot and sounded a general alarm.
John Brunner assistant yardmaSter
arrived, and breaking window lev
elled his gun at a convict who lodged
into cell after firing another shot.
Several guards with guns appeared
but Brunner was the only one who
had nerve to 60 into the cell building.
Taking an extra gun Williams and
Drummer entered the building and
with Williams proceeded to a cell,
where the convicts had been seen.
They called on the guards, Hold
up your hands," But later brought
their guns into play and the convicts
submitted.
A search of the cell was made and
twenty pounds Of dynamite, besides
bottle Of nitro-glycerine, two reyolV-
ers anda box Of cartridges, were found
and number of skeleton keys. 1t is
not known how the Weapons or ex-
ploSives were obtained.

section in vain seeks to attract such
immigration is thus stated by the
Wilmington (N. C.) Star:
AS long as we lynch in the south
and furthermore draw our guns and
shoot each other to death on the
streets, we are wasting time in estab-
fishing immigration bureaus. People
will be deferred from immigrating to
a State where a big murder record is
made year in and year OUT
The Charleston News and Courier
says of this that that is the plain
truth plainly spoken. Only the des-
perately adventurous and most unde.
sirable would seek residence in a COM
munity or State where citizens abil-
ity to draw pistol and shoot first is
his greatest security Such talk
from southern newspapers is very en-
encouraging. No situation, however
bad, is hopeless where the truth finds
outSpoken and fearless utterance.
Whoreupon Mr.. Howard comments
as follows:
There are knifng, cutting, shoot
ing and crimes of all sorts so per cent.
more in New England than in the
SOUTH"
I wish to add that Mr.. E. J. Wat
son, the State commissioner, has in
formed me that it is his purpose to
communicate with MI. Howard with
the view OF ascertaining how be can
advance the cause Of immigration to
the south in New England.
It is such men as Mr.. Mattheson
and Mr.. Howard and such railroads as
the Southern that advance in a prac-
tical way the main purposes OF the
bureau of immigration. Let them be
encouraged and sustained for the
public good. JNo. P. THOMAS.
