Considerable surprise IL expressed
because Governor Hoch has filed .
bill for s4O6 for a Pullman car to
Camden to attend the launching.
Under the law nine people we're 81
lowed to go at state expense and for
them q whole Pullman car was char
tered. Their regular Pullman fare
would have been S136. They paid
sS67.76 railroad fare that is they
would have paid It II most Of them
had not had railway pssses. 1t is
charged by some that the dozen Ma
rion county men and their families
who went dragging along to Camden
for no earthly reason that anybody
could discover except that they want
ed free ride were also occupants OF
the Pullman and that the car was
charged up to the nine people entitled
to 60.
1t is q mighty small thing to find
fault about little matter OF that
kind. Those Marion people wanted
an outing and 1t was nice to give It to
them. Besides the water from the
John Brown spring u had to be car
ried and Of course q Pullman was
necessary FOR that. II seems to us
Kansas 10 getting rather tnsSy about
such matters.

that nobody will read them. This
time they are boiled down to the last
limit Of expression. The result is
that a good many people who never
heard of the congress will read them
and will be surprised at the good
sense and intelligent comprehension
expressed therein.
As an example Of the way in which
1t put things this will serve: 1.-The
fundamental principle Of the Ameri-
can Republic ls that of self-govern-
ment, and no body Of American citi-
zens should be deprived Of that right.
We, therefore, recommend the early
admission Of all Of the remaining ter
ritories as separate states, and the

EPISODE OF A CROOKS DAY.
How Messenger Boy Was BunkOed Out
 of Valuable Bundle. .
(No. 7f<1.,
 AT Montromery, in the state of Alabama st the Close of Business,

McClures Magazine. .s~. ..
 From a large jewelry store across the way presently emerged a diminu- tive messenger boy, carrying a small, square bundle, and turned into Broad way. The man on the bench known to his friends as Supple Jim," rose unob- trusively to his feet The apostle of Hermes stopped to buy a cents worth of mucilaginous candy from the Italian on the corner, and then, whistling loud ly, dawdled upon his way. The man followed, maneuvering for position, while the boy, now in the chewing stage and struggling violently, fingered to inspect q mechanical toy. The supple one accomplished a flank movement, ap- preached, touched him on the shoulder and displayed a silver badge beneath his coat. @..4e:
 Young man, I'm from the central of fee and need your help. About block from here a feller will come runnin' af- ter you and say they've given you the wrong bundle-see? He'll hand you another and tell you to give him the one you've got. He's a crook-'Paddy the Sneak-old game! See?"
 The boy was all attention, his jaws motionless.
 "Yepr' he replied, his eyes glistening delishtedly.
 well, I'll be right behind you And
 
 pretend you fall to 1t an hand him your box. Then I'll make the collar. Are you on?'
 Say, that's easy!" grinned the boy.
 Show us what you're good for, then, and I'll have the inspector send you some passes for the theayter.
 The boy started on in businesslike fashion. As his interlocutor had pre- dicted, hatless Teller" overlook him, t~k planation. The messenger exchanged bundles and then, eyes front. continued up the street until the detective should bounce upon his victim. For some strange reason no such event took place, At the end of the block he cast furtive glance behind him. Both Paddy and the central ofi1ce man had vanished, to dispose in a Bowery pawn shop of the fruits of their short hour of toll, dividing between them $160 as the equivalent of the diamond stud which the box had contained.
