THOSE DREADFUL MACHINES

A dark, deep conspiracy is discovered.
Things were not going quite right over
in Atchison county to suit our esteem
ing contemporary. the Topeka Capital,
now representing the anti-Bailey in
terests. One of our neighbours sleuth
reporters was put to work and this
morning in black headlines it is an
nounced that 1.-The Atchison machine
men have set up a job"
You ask what is this terrible dis
covery that the Capital machine has
made? Well, here it is in it's own
words. "A report comes from Atchison
that the Republican county convention
there will name the delegation to the
First district congressional conven-
ton"
The paper quotes IAN Atchfson man."
name not given, as saying: "Mr. Cur
it's friends are organized for any fight
the machine puts up, and if the COM
mittee undertakes to name the dele
cation, the fur will fly fast and furi-
GUS" A battle of machines.
Well this is funny! OF course, the in
ference from the above is that noses
have been counted and that the commit
tee will not name delegates friendly to
Congressman Curtis, who accordingly
seems to have some opposition over in
Atchison county. If Chairman Capper
of the congressional committee and
chauffeur of the Shawnee autimobile,
felt sure that the delegates named by
the Atchison committee would be friend
" to Congressman Curtis, no objection
would be made, for how could there be?
Shawnee county set the precedent and
the Shawnee county committee did ex-
actly this thing and the Shawnee coun-
ty machine named through the commit
tee the delegates which are to go to the
Holton convention in March.
No objection apparently was made in
Topeka. The people are accustomed to
being run by the Capital-Mulvane ma
chine in this county and they seem tc
like it, and then most of the Republi-
cans of Topeka appeared to be fo1
/ Charley Curtis; so nothing was said
although it has been the usual Gus
tom to hold conventions, let the mass
es have a voice, and go through the
form of naming Curtis delegates to al
/ congressional conventions. For some
reason this year a convention was not
considered advisable by the machine.
The Shawnee county central commit
tee naming delegates to the Holtor
convention. why shouldn't the Atchiser
county central committee do the same
thing for its favorite son, Andy White:
He is a reputable and highly esteemed
citizen of that county who has cradit-
ably represented his people in the legis-
lature. Why should the fur fly fasi
and furious" in Atchison over an in
cident which never raised a hair on the
cats back in Topeka?
There is no use trying to discover
whether it is a Topeka bull, or ar
Atchison bull. which is now charging
around in the china shop. and may
break some congressional crockery. Oh
whether it is merely a contest of bulls
and one is getting gored and doing

OF HEARTS.
Custom of Their Separate Burial Is
Not Uncommon,

Tit-Bits: The separate burial of
hearts is not such a singular occur
renee as many readers may be apt to
suppose. History supplies us with nu-
merous instances.
When Richard the Lionhearted was
mortally wounded in the attack on the
castle of Chaluz he expressed a wish
that his body should be buried at the
feet of his father at F~ontevraud, in
token of his sorrow for the trouble
and anxiety which he had formerly
caused him. But he bequeathed his
heart to the inhabitants Of Rouen as
an acknowledgment of the faithfulneSS
of his Norman subjects. The some
what singular gift was gratefully ac-
eepted, and was honored with a beau
tiful shrine in the cathedral. This
was destroyed in 1888, but about a
century later the heart of the famous
crusader was found inclosed in a lead
en- casket under the pavement of the
cathedral. 1t was replaced, but some
time later was again taken up and de-
posted In the Museum Of Antiquities,
from which it was in turn removed to
a more appropriate resting place in
the choir of the cathedral, where it
now remains.
On the death of John Ballot, father
of hat Ballot who opposed Bruce's
claim to the throne of Scotland, his
widow ordered his heart to be re-
moved and placed in an ivory cask ct.
Although she survived her husband
twenty years, 1t is said that she never
sat down to a meal without having
the casket beside her. In accordance
with her dying request the heart was
placed on her dead bosom previous to
interment In her own abbey, which was
situated on the banks Of the NTH.
When the great Napoleon died in ST.
Helena his heart was removed in order
that it might be placed in a separate
case. The doctor who removed it set
1T under a glass case in his bedroom.
During the night he was startled by
the sound of breaking glass, and he
just managed to prevent a large rat
from carrying off the heart to it's hole.
The heart was Immediately placed in
an urn and secured in the coffin beside
the body.
There would appear to be some
doubt as to what became of Byron'S
heart after his death. According to one
count, 1T was lost in a marsh in
Greece under the following circum-
stances: AS is we'll known, the poet
took a deep interest in the efforts
which the Greeks We're then making
to secure their freedom. His services
were highly appreciated by these peo-
pie, and when he died his relatives,
who had resolved to convey his body
to England for burial, We're requested
to leave his heart in Greece.
The wish was complied with, and the
precious relic was placed in a silver
casket. Missolonghi was besieged, and
when the Greeks saw the impossibility
of warding off the attack, a small par
~ made a desperate sally, carrying off
the heart with them. They were sue
cessful in cutting their way through the
Turkish army, but were soon compelled
to conceal themselves in a marsh,
where the heart, which they had tried
so hard to save, was lost.

Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
