Governor Bailey has finally named
a state accountant, and now the fell
lows who have been sticking the knife
into him are wondering what may be
coming their way. 1t has been sug-
gested that an examination of the
records of the state treasurer's Office
might show just how much the graft
of depositing state funds in private
banks for the exclusive benefit of the
state treasurer has been worth during
Kelly's incumbency. That this graft
puts many thousands of dollars into
the pockets of the treasurer that
should 90 the state is not to be doubt
ed. Under the circumstances it is not
to be wondered at that the treasurer
was opposed to the proposed law
which would allow this money to re-
main in the several counties until
needed by the state. 1t seems to be
the present theory of governmental a at
governments are constituted for the
benefit of the fellows who hold the
offices and not for the protection Of
the interests of the people.

Obituary..

Again the sombre angel of death
has visited the town of Lewis and has
left the shadow and gloom of his mis-
sion like dark pail hanging over
the village. This time the ranks OF
the local lodge, the church. and that
most sacred precinct home-have
been invaded and have suffered
irreparable loss in the death of Mrs.
Sarah J. Sutherland. Only few
days previous the spirit of a new
born daughter had preceded its faith
full mother into the spirit world.
The services of this noble woman,
as told by the tributes paid to her by
the various institutions with which
she was identified, were broad and
sympathetic in their nature. In lodge
connection she was n helpful Rehekah
In reform matters she was an enthusi-
astic w. G. II. U. worker. She was
faithful and energetic in the Ladies'
Aid Society. But above all, and as
a browning favor, she priced her MEM
bership in the church, and for her
there surely awaits a crown of ever
lasting life and happiness.
Briefly spoken, Mrs. Sutherland
biography was thai of the noble, self
sacrificing mother and friend, who
counted loving service to her home
and neighbors her supreme happiness.
The more loving and kind such hearts
the more they are missed upon their
departure. That is why Borrowing
friends assembled from far and near
to pay tribute to her memory and all
business was suspended in the neigh
| borhood. Mrs. Sutherland was the
daughter of John Corl, born in Ere
mont, Sandusky county, Ohio, No
| vember "a, 1868. At the age of Ii she
became resident of Kansas, and in
the year 1891 married James Suther-
land, at Topeka, Kans.
Mrs. Sutherland and her highly es-
teemed and Borrowing husband have
resided in the town of Lewis for about
one year, during which they, together
with their talented and amlable fam
lily, consisting of one son and a
daughter, have endeared themselves
to the general community.
The deceased leaves two sorrowing
and affectionate sisters, one residing
at Topeka and the other in Ohio.
| The funeral service was conducted
by her pastor, the Rev. William T..
Cummins, of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Lewis, on Wednesday fore
noon, May %. The interment cere-
monies were held under the auspices
of the Lewis Rebekah lodge at the
Lewis cemetery. A FRIEND.

The republicans of Kansas evident
ly believe that the name of Roosevelt
is one to conjure with and that any
sort of legislative and state candi-
dates can be elected if only tackled on
to the same ticket with that of the
president. But what is to be expected
of party that will stand for Tom
Kelly and that stood loyalty to Bur-
toms back until he was convicted in
United States court and is now
openly making arrangements for a
successor to the senator whose only
recommendation is that he has not as
yet been convicted in any court al
though it is believed on all hands
that the senator was his stool pigeon.
A democratic administration might be
no better than the republican has
been but it is worth trying for. 1t
certainly could be no worse.

Colonel Bryan says, "Trusts are to
be the paramount issue" A good
idea. Farmers have discovered that
the steel trust has added to the price
of every pillow; that the wire trust has
put the price so high that they can
hardly afford to fence their fields;
that the lumber trust has increased by
fifty per cent the cost of the barns
they build; that the Irvine trust is TAX
ing robber toll from their wheat crop:
that the labor trust has made help a
rare and ruinous delicacy, and so on
through all the articles they have to
buy. But then didn't Mr.. Roosevelt
in speech at the New York Wool
Exchange in October, 1896, say, ''Mr
Bryan and his adherents have ap-
pealed to the basest set in the land,
the farmers?''

Request Removals of Entertainments.

The st. Francis leyee board met
in annual session at Memphis on the
10th inst, President Killough pre-
siding. Resolutions were passed
requesting railroads crossing the
Mississippi at Memphis to remove
all embankments between levees and
the river on the Arkansas side be-
cause of the interference of the en-
bankment to levees during food
time Should the railroads fail to
comply with this request, the board
will seek relief through legislation.
A resolution was also adopted re-
questing the next Arkansas general
assembly to re-enact the bill passed
at the last session authorizing an adj
ditional issue of 100000 of bonds.
The above act did not become eff
fectiye because it was not presented
to the governor for his signature
within the prescribed limit after its
passage.

Money in Ginseng.

station a department for the propa-
CATION and growing of medicinal
plants that are indigenous to this
state, especially ginseng and golden
seal. In his annual address Presi-

well pay for the trial, and if the
state can demonstrate that the Gull

success then many Of the poor hills

Child Brutality Assaulted.

The 12-year-old daughter of T.
n. Ross, of Kearney, Jefferson coun-
ty, was the victim of one of the most
brutal and deliberately planned as
saults ever committed In this state.
With younger sister the victim
was playing near lake short dis
lance from her home, and while on
their way to the house the children
were met by negro named Robert
Davis. As the negro started in the
same direction, speaking kindly to
the children, they did not become
frightened until a point where a
dense unterbrush grows alongside
the road was reached. Here Davis
grabbed the Oldest girl and took her
into thicket, where he most brutal
ly maltreated her. The younger child
ran home and gave the alarm, but
Mr.. Ross reached the place too late,
and found his child unconscious.
She was taken home and given at
tention. The news Of the crime
aroused the neighborhood and with
in few hours the guilty party was
in custody and the children identi-
fed him. To keep the people from
wreaking vengeance on him, the off
GERS secreted Davis in an old build
ing until the arrival of a train, and
started with him to the depot. Mr..
Ross, father of the negro's victim,
was on the outlook and recognized
Davis, who was handcuffed to an
other negro, the object being to con-
yey the idea to the people that both
were under arrest and that there
was still some doubt as to the guilty
party. Ross drew a revolver and be-
gan firing at Davis, who was struck
twice and one bullet hit Constable
Carr in the leg. Davis was not Sc
riously wounded and after reaching
Pine Bluff with the officers made
confession. Davis stated that he
was fishing in company with his
wife; that he sent her home when
he saw the children, and when they
started home he met up with them
and led them to believe he meant no
harm until he reached a favorable
spot to carry out his fendish desire
