and neighbors. for the purpose of
bringing from afar superfiuous recital
of his virtues and mental endowments.
You who, within the sacred precints of
his home, knew the warmth of his love,
you, who daily found cheer and de-
fight in the sunlight of his steady, con-
slant friendship, and you, his immedi-
ate fellow citizens, who have been sur
red to admiration and attachment Dy
his unselfish and effective labor in be-
half of those with whom his lot was
cast, need no words of mine to arouse
in your minds the sentiments which
befit this comm mOratVe occasion.
Even though all were silent the beau
tiful monument here erected would
itself eloquently signify the love and
friendship and admiration which are
today revived by the recollection of an
affectionate, dutiful and useful life.
''But I am not here without mis-
sion would fain interpret this
monuments message to me, as it re-
calls my close companionship and CO.
operation, in the discharge of the
highest public duty. with the man we
honor I am here to give evidence con-
cerning the things he revealed to me
in the light of that companlonship and
cooperation. This is but to testify to
his lofty civic righteousness, his sim
pie and sure standards of public
morality, his stern inSistence on Official
honesty, his sturdy adherence to opln-

others of every result of their efforts
and his passi iOnate desire to serve the
best interests of his fellow countrynen.
He Stood for the Right.
'I am not required, for the sake Of
exaggerated tribute, to insist that in
the mere possession OF these virtues
our friend was distinguished above all
others. But it must be said that he
stood out from amidst a vast congre-
cation of others who believed and
knew the right, because IN defense OF
the right as he believed and knew it.
he was willing to fight and suffer, not
: only in a small arena of private and
social existence, but in the fercer,
deadIier amphitheater of public life.
He believed that the same care and
good faith exacted by a trust under
taken for an individual were due to
the people from those who assumed
oficial responsibilities; and he be-
lieved that waste in public expenditure
was sin. These beliefs were not in
his mind mere comfortable senti-
rnents mildly stimulating to self
Righteousness, but were active in
centives to battle. The noxious at
uaosuhere of governm entail extrava-
gance could not blind his eyes; nor
could the ridicule Of those who had

UNJUST FREIGHT RATE.
How Topeka Is Disseminated Against
in Coal Shipments.

Here is an illustration of the deep and
subtle science which underlies the MAX
ing of freight rates.
To ship a carload of coal from the
Usage and Burlingame coal district to
Topeka, a distance OF q miles. costs so
cents a ton or about S15. To ship it on
from TODeka to Atchison or Missouri
river points, distant an additional 50
miles, costs but cents a ton more
However if you should find that you
could not sell that carload of coal and
desire to rebill it back to Topeka from
the Missouri river points it would cost
IS cents a ton. Seventy-five cents a ton
is also charged for shipping a load of
coal from Topeka to Lecompton.

such an event it might be a hard mat
ter to fill the vacancies on the pro-
gramme. as but few public men care
to be a second choice if they know it.

His Trick That Puzzled an Occiden-

Sonae OF the tricks Of the Hindu wiz

to aH occidental master of magic who
was speaking Of his oriental rivals.
This is what he says he saw Hindu
wizard do in club in Lucknow:
..He took a board and placed it on
four glass goblets, thus eleyating it
froT2 the floor. A youngSter sitting on
the board was requested to place his
hanfis together, palms up. Then the
juggler took glass of water and pour
ed it into the outstretched hands of the
boy In the meantime the boy had been
meSmeriZed, and his attention was fix
ed on a point indicated by the magi-
clan. Gradually the water turned green
III color and then developed into jelly
which Increased in density until it be-
came as solid as q stone. Out of the
center Of this appeared the head of a
snake, which gradually developed I'M

peared a kissing reptile. / was amazed,
can assure you, but the trick was not
yet completed. Hitting the reptile upon
the head with his wand, the juggler
ok it up carefully and placed it back
in the glass. AS we looked it became
transformed into jelly. which in turn
melted into a greenish colored water
Clearer and clearer became the fluid
until 1t was of it's original color, and
then the juggler placed it to his lips
and drank the entire contents This
was the most wonderful trick I ever
saw performed, and it is as mysterious
