[D.HOWfL LECTURES
Entertains an Audience Of 1900
Topeka Citizens.
PAID THE FREIGHT HIMSELF
Takes Atchison's Best Musicians with
Him and Gives . star Engage
mest for the organ Fund.

Ed Howe, editor OF the Atchison
Globe, the originator Of 1.-THE Don't
Worry Club" the man responsible for
the philosophy and wit in Globe
Sights the one who planned the
famous Atchison Corn Carnivals, the
author OF THE Story OF a Country
Town" and other looks, has earned
fame In another line. He is the only
lecturer extant who pays for the chance
to speak from the platform to the
plain, common people.
Ed Howe went to Topeka to lecture
at the Auditorium for the benefit of
the Topeka pipe organ fund. He would
take nothing for his services, not a
penny, and further than that. he took
with him Atchison's best concert must
clans and brought them on a special
train. Howe paid for the train and
everything Incidental to the trip, in
Guiding the admissions Of his party OF
1875, and he gave the plain. common
peOple u utlliT e~HtcTtdlHIDcHI lOI 81
cents, and the plain common people
whom Howe likes and writes about
and talks about, greeted him over
200 strong.
Ed Howe's lecture scheme has as.
sumed almost the proportion of an
old time Howe famous railroad
shows" which travelled the country
some years ago. That Howe was nj
relation to this Howe and his enter
tainment couldn't have been as good
as this one nor his train much larger
for Lecturer Howe brought nine SOLO
lists with him and 1875 Atchison people.
And Hoew paid the freight.
Ed Howe's lecture entertainment is
like a three story club house sand
witch; II is in three substantial layers
with the most delectable parts in be-
tween. Howe furnished the real meaty
morsels OF the entertainment.

e%loquently of the influence OF women

graced by the presence OF ONE Con-
tinuing, he said.
IL am an optimist. am one Of
those fellows who believe that the
world Is growing better rapidly every
day, and the reason why I know it is
growing better is that the influence Of
women in politics is felt more and
more in public affairs. l believe the
day is coming, not in the remote flu
ture, but coming hastily, when the best
manhood and the best womanhood q
am afraid this Is not the thing for a
politician to say IL he wants to be pop

I only want a chance to tell the TRUTH
i believe, as l was saying, the time
will come very soon when the best
manhood and the best womanhood Of
this land will stand together In the po-
litical affairs of this republic, as they
now stand together equally in the con-
troll Of that ideal republic, the Amer

Is only one pottery In the gas belt,
and that is located at Coffeyville. There
Is no particular reason why a pottery

finest potters' clay in the world is
found In Missouri and the railroad IA

any other town In the gas belt. The

AN INDIGNANT JUDGE

dennis Use of Martial Law.
Judge Theron Stevens adjourned the
May term Of court. at Telluride, Colo,
as that county, San Miguel. is under
martial law. No action was taken on
the application to make permanent the
injunction granted by the court at
Ouray restraining the Citizens ALI
ance and mine owners from interfer-
ing with the return of the deported
miners to their homes in Telluride,
In announcing his decision Judge
Stevens referred to the fact that when
he zane into town he was forced to
walk through files Of soldiers, who had
been stationed at the depot with or
ders to arrest deported union men who,
IL was falsely reported, were return'
ing with the Judge.
1.-The demonstration at the depot
upon the arrival Of the train" said
Judge Stevens, could only have been
planned and executed for the purpose
of showing the contempt Of the mill
tary and a certain percent of this COM
munity for the civil authority OF the
state and the civil authority OF this
district. had always been led to sup
pose, from such research as had been
able to make. that in a republic like
ours the people were supreme, that tho
people had expressed their will in a
constitution which was enacted for the
government Of ell authorities in this
state.
THAT constitution provides that the
military shall always be in strict SUBJ
ordination to the civil authorities. 1t
is doubtless construed differently, how
ever, by the executive who has de-
clared this county to be in a state of
instruction and has declared martial
law within its limits. Such being the
case. it would simply be a farce to
attempt to enforce civil law in this
county"

BANK ROBBERS AT CARROLL
Citizens OF Carroll, Neb.. Get MP In tho
Nigh and Chase Robbers.

At l o'clock at night the town OF
Carroll. Neb., was thrown into excite
ment by an attempt to Rob the First
National bank. At that hour the resi-
dents Of the upper floor Of the Merrill
building in which the bank Is located
we're awakened by a loud noise and
heard the sound Of blows, which
caused the house to vibrate. These
sounds were followed by an explosion,
and this by fire from a revolver. BY
the fash Of the gun the people saw
men standing as guards for the rob-
bers around the house.
There was one revolver in the build
ing and this was fred at M Of the
men until the shells were exhausted.
but apparently without effect, as he
returned the fire and continued TO
shoot until the residents Of the house
were without ammunition.
While this fusillade was in progress
the cashier of the bank was called up
by telephone and notified Of the
trouble. He responded by bringing q
number of armed men, but by the time
they arrived the robbers had driven
away in a wagon which stood in the
middle OF the street during the fight
and in which they are supposed to
have come to town.
After the arrival Of the cashier II
was seen that the men had come de-
termined to take the funds Of the bank.
They had first tried to gain entrance
to the vault through solid masonry
with pick and hammer. Finding this
impossible, they had broken the com.
bination lock OF the vault and placed
a charge OF dynamite, which completed
the destruction of the lock.
The inside safe they had failed Il
penetrate. and the money of the banl
is intact, although papers in the vault
had been ransacked. There is no clue
at this time to the robbers.

Beyond what we can bear, He never

In sweet fulfllment OF the little tasks

And let's the common things Of life
