SUCCESSION Is FATAL
Burton Line Has Had Series
of Disasters
jim LANE STARTED 1T
Ten Senators in Lane and Only
Five in Pomeroy Line

Topeka, March Ex-senator Burton be-
longs to the fatal Lane succession. says
the Capital. Every senator who has
served in that line has met with political
disaster. When Kansas was admitted to
statehood James H. Lane was elected
as one of the United States senators and
S. c. Pomeroy as the other. To the
politicians senatorial terms are known
as the Lane succession or the Pomeroy
succession. Ten senator's have served
in the Lane succession, counting Burton.
If he loses his job, the eleventh one will
be named Only five senators have
served in the Pomeroy succession.
AS stated Lane was elected in 81 for
a short term of four years. He was re-
elected in 1865 and 1866 he killed himself
at Leavenworth
Edmond c. Ross was appointed by Gov
ernor Crawford to fill the vacancy and
was elected by the legislature to fill the
unexpired term. He voted not to i'm
peach President Andrew Johnson. This
was the unpopular side in Kansas and
Ross went into political Oblivion. Later
on he left the state disheartened and
now is setting type in a little print shop
in Albuquerque, n. NJ.
In 1871 Alexander Caldwell of Leaven-
worth was elected to succeed Ross. He
held the office two years and resigned
to escape expulsion for having bought his
election.
Judge Robert Crozier was named by
Governor Osborne TO fill the vacancy, but
he had no political standing in a few
months. and could not be elected.
Ex-Governor James NJ. Harvey was
elected to succeed Crozier in 1874 for
Caldwelrs unexpired term. He failed Of
reelection. P. B. Plumb beat him in
1877 Plumb had better luck and was re-
elected twice, in SO and SO. He died in
December, 1891, and Bishop w. Perkins
was appointed by Governor Humphrey
to fill the vacancy till the legislat ure met
in 1893 That legislature was fusion and
John Martin of Topeka was elected for
Plumb's unexpired term, which ended in
1895.
The legislature of 1895 was again Re-
publican and Lucien Baker was elected
to succeed Martin, defeating ]. r. Burton
after an exciting contest
Baker didn't make success, and with
drew as a candidate for reelection in
1901, when Burton was elected.
OF the ten senators in this line five are
still living-Ross Caldwell. Martin. Ba-
ker and Burton.

TIM AND TRUE.

From our esteemed county CON
temporary, the excellent Fremont
Enterprise, we copy the following:
"Farmers T beginning to realize
that the killing of birds endangers
that they should. 1t is a subject
which cannot be too deeply impress
ed upon the reckless and thought
less who r~uth!essIy and u~nnecessar-
lily kill birds of every description. II
is narrowing down to a point where
the farmers must decide whether
birds shall he protected and encOur-
aged or both the grain and cotton
crops be endangered. 1t is a ques-
ton for the people to settle, and they
alone can do it. They can demand
the enactment of protective laws and
then they "a see that such laws are
observed and enforced. The destruc-
ton by the Hessian fly is continual
1y being complained Of all over the
land by those who suffer from insect
depredatiOns. And in the same
category is the boil weeviI which is
becoming a menace to the South's
great staple, and which must be
stopped or the South will be ruined.
The solution is more birds, and they
do not have to be imported and
planted. All they need is protec-
ton from the heartless and lawless
gunner, and then they will multi
ply in sufficient numbers to keep
down all the insect pests that are be-
coming a serious question with farm
ers, gardeners and fruit gaowers, for
the insects in some form prey on all
things that grow. More birds means
more and better food crops, and the
country may as well admit the fact
and act upon it.

ON TO SEVEN SPRINGS.
VOTE FOR THE BONDS AND
FOR PROGRESS.
Do Not Repeat a Mistake Which
Has Cost GoldsborO Thousands
of Dollars.

The Individual, town, State Or
nation that fails to take advantage
of an opportunity when presented is
lost.
Goldsboro has long mourned its
error in failing to secure the "Short
CUT from Wilson to Fayetteville.
Surely the people will not repeat the
mistake by failing to C the rail
road to Seven Springs. One such OBJ
ject lesson should be sufficient.
Other towns are anxious for this
road and a failure to carry the cleo
ton for bonds would not only injure
our town to the extent of losing the
road and the increased business
which it would bring, but put Colds
boro down in the column of towns
which are opposed to progress.
The tobacco and cotton markets
here are not as large as they should
be, and if the trade of the sec
ton through which the road will
run is turned in another direction
our business will be less than it is.
Before deciding to cast your vote
against the bonds perhaps you had
better consider some of these sug-
g%estions.

MAGIC IN InE. zuNi TRIBE
During Series of Weird Incantations Priest Apparently Lifts Jug of
 Water with Feather.

"The most startling feat ever saw, ; said a guest at the Diller to the Seattls Post-Intelligencer, twas performed b1 the priests of the Zuni tribe in Arizona or, as they were called, The Ancient of Creation They seat themselves il. circle on the clay floor, around jal that will hold perhaps gallon, an an cient and sacred earthen vessel which is filled with water. The chief priest carries in his hand two ordinary eagle feathers, which are tied together at the quill ends so that they make a fork. Behind the circle of the priests are other members of the tribe and the musicians with their drums and gourds, who join in the chants with emotion. The in cantations continue for several hours and when the participants and spectators are brought up to proper pitch of ex- citement the priest dips the feather tips into the water lifts the jar with then and holds it suspended for a minute or two at height level with his face or breast. Then he lowers it slowly to the ground. This feat is repeated several times during the performance. Appar- ently there is nothing in the hand of the priest but the feathers and they appear to be inserted into the mouth of the jar only two or three inches Of course, there Is some trick aboE4 it, but I was never able to discover it.

CALLS MILKY WAY SHADOW
Australian Astronomer Advances New Theory as to Nebulae-Will Ex-
 pound Idea in Paper.

A novel theory as to the milky way has been evolved by s. l.. Adams, an amateur astronomer, of Sydney, N. S. w., says the London Mail. This lu- minous phenomenon, it appears, is really a shadow. '"The milky way" says MT. Adams, Ifs constantly being seen at many different angles, and in many parts of the sky, but it always preserves the same luminous front arising from the telescopic stars in it's bach ground. Now, as this background is constantly changing, and the luminous effect is only seen whenever the foreground hap pens to be the milky way, it is evident that 1t is not the telescopic stars them selves which produce the effect, but something projected on the foreground of the sky. That something is the earth shadow. The supposed nebulae," cor tinues MT. Adams, 'are all skadows, al this explains their contempt for th laws of gravitation and their refusal t. conform to the globular shape assumed by celestial objects generally. They are spots of shadow representing noun tains or mountain ranges on the earth MT. Adams anticipates that his discovery will be received with smiles of incredul- ity, but he expressed his belief that his view will one day be accepted as cor rect. He is to read a paper on the sub ject before the branch of the British Astronomical association.

FLED TO MOUNTAINS
Desperadoes of Montgomery,
 w. Va., Terrorize Town.
GOVERNOR WHITE ASKED FOR TROOPS
Killing of Sheriff and Prominent Citizen by Edward Jackson Caus- ed First Trouble-Riss Gang In
 Mountain Stronghold,

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 12.- AS tue result of the kuling of Con- stabie Walter Jackson in montgomery by Policeman Elliott on Wednesday last and tue subsequent capture of the town by the four brothers of Jackson, at the head of about forty of their friends, reign of terror exists there. The mayor, being helpless, appealed to Sheriff Daniels yesterday. When Sher- if Daniels and John Rolf were killed by Ed Jackson yesterday, while at tempting their arrest, Governor White was asked to send troops.
 The governor replied he would hold troops in readiness, but advised form ing large posse. If the posse should meet with serious resistance, troops will be sent to their relief. The Jackson followers escaped to mountain strong holds with which they are familiar.
 Ernest and Bob Jackson have since been arrested and brought to this city by Deputy Sheriff Davis and others and placed in jail. A posse, headed by Marshal Ash of Thurmond, is securing the mountains near Montgomery. Two bloodhounds were placed on the trail, and it is believed the band has been To- cated. The officials in Montgomery fear further trouble, as sentiment against the slayer of Daniels is strong. Before the murder of Daniels the sentf- ment was with the JacksonS against Policeman Elliott. Elliott is in the custody of Chief Hundley at the Ruff ner hotel here.
 A dispatch says at a late hour last night all efforts to capture Edward Jackson, who shot and killed Sheriff Daniels and John Rolf, prominent citi- zen of Montgomery, has proved futile. Forces have been searching for Jack son all day and are still securing the surrounding country for him. The ex- citement following the double shooting has somewhat subsided, but the friends of Sheriff Daniels still threaten to lynch Jackson if he is captured.
