METEORS AS CROPS.
THEY ARH LIFTING MORTGAGES
 OUT IN KANSAS.
Were Found by . woman--Since then They Have Been Highly Prlxed by Farmers as q Source
 of Profit.

Probably no State in the United States has had the strange incidents
 resulting from the fall of meteors as
 has Kansas, and probably no man in Kansas Is as familiar with the uncon- ventional incidents connected with their fall as Dr. F. H Snow. professor of organic evolution, systematic entom- ology and meteorology of the State University, says a Lawrence, Kan, let- ter to The New York Herald.
 Farm mortgages have been lifted, homes built and money saved for old age on the profits of the meteorite trade in the Sunfiower State. It has | really been a. trade, and at times the centers of the meteorite fields have been the scenes of business activities, because there Is a big demand in
 Eastern and European markets for the
 celestial bodies that have struck the | Kansas plains.
 | The phenomena of these terrestial | substances were practically unknown | to the average Kansan until 1890. when a sort of meteoric panic sprang up in Kiowa county and farmers that had { their last eighty acres mortgage-bound were in some instances saved from fi- | nancial destruction by the find of me- teorites on their land.
 It was in April 1890. that Dr. Snow first found any traces of the heavenly bodies. The news that came to him | was indirect. but he immediately sent | an agent to kiowa county. Upon the agents report that all meteorites had been sold. Dr. Snow took the next | train. When he arrived at Greensburg, he found that New York representa- | tives had been trying to buy all the l meteorites and that his agent had missed valuable sales by a fraction of an hour.
 | Dr. Snow found A. B. Kimberly, who
 had obtained possession of most of the met teorites which had been found in
 that section. At first Kimberly re- fused to consider Dr. Shows soiicita-
 tlons. but finally led the scientists around the end of a haystack, and af-
 ter some digging and scratching re- vealed a small meteorite which was
 immediately bought by Prof. Snow. | Mir. Kimberly had already sold more
 than 2.000 pounds of this new kind of
 fortune-maker. and it took little per suading by Dr. Snow to obtain Kim
 berlys services for further search
 Kimberly said he knew where there
 was another large meteorite. but a lawyer owned 1t and it probably would
 be hard to buy. Kimberly went to the lawyer, who had been using the me- | teorite as a yard ornament ten years Kimberly induced the lawyer to seell
 it for $3, and within an hour sold 1t | to pr. Snow for $150. This was a harvest for Kimberly and saved his l farm when every foot of 1t was mort
 gagged and foreclosure seemed cer- | tain.

The Isle Of Pines.

The break of the Isle Of Pines for
independence and annexation to the
United States may produce complica-
tions between the United States and
Cuba. There is already pending in the
senate treaty whereby this country is
to. cede the island to Cuba, taking in
return coaling and naval stations. Be-
fore this treaty is consummated, few
hundred Americans on the island over
ride international arrangements and
boldly annex themselves to the United
States without our consent.
The relations between this country
and. Cuba are already sufficiently
Strained Y Without adding any further
cause of querulous complaint on the
part of Cuba. If we permit the annex
alton. We suffer in the estimation of
the Cubans, and if we do not, we dis
appoint the hopes of a large number of
Americans on the island who know what
they want, and that is not Cuban rule
The American capitalists, who. have
practically taken possession of the Isle
of Pines, have powerful friends in the
senate. There are said to be twenty
| two senators pledged to oppose the ratl
fcation of the treaty. Thirty senators
rare enough to block it. The failure OF
the treaty would add fuel to the grow
ing anti-American feeling in Cuba. The
question is quite likely to assume {
more serious aspect than the action Of
few Americans annexing the. United
States would seem to warrant.

North Dakota $ Capitol, Delay.

North Dakota will have to wait two
years before work can begin on its
new capitol building. The decision of
the state supreme court is a temporary
knockout for the movement and a vic
tory for the Fargo and Grand Forks
contractors who brought the injunction
suit. 1t was a. fatal step when the capi-
tel commission advertised for bids in
Guiding plans for the work. The con-
tractors declined to go into partner
ship with architects in bidding, and
as a last resort, went into court against
the commission.
The entire law creating the commits
sion and authorizing the expenditure Of
100000 for the work is knocked out
on constitutional grounds. The law
sealled for the renodeling of the capitol
Sbuilding and the erection of - COVER
5nor''s mansion out of the sum, but did
not specify the amounts to be used for
each purpose or limit the time for do
ing the work. The court holds that,
in delegating these questions TO- the
capitol commission, the legislature was
attempting to transfer legislative func-
tions, which it is powerless to do under
the constitution. The contractors have
succeeded 50 we'll in their suit that the
capitol scheme is down and out until
another legislative session.
The new capitol has been opposed by
the "reform wing of the party in
North Dakota, which will also rejoice
over the court IS ruling. The objectors
have claimed that the present capitol
is good enough for some years to come,
and that in time the capitol lands will
be worth more money and better
building can be secured. The capitol
bill was put thru the legislature by the
organization against the protests of the
min ority. The supreme court has proved
an unexpected stumbling block.

Revising Football.

It begins to look as if the game Of
football would have to undergo some
pretty radical REFORM Whethersthe
president is to blame for@2it or not,
there has been growing sentiment, or
at least a much. more frequent express
sion of sentiment, since, he took the
matter. up recently, in favor of elininr
ating what is called the brutality
Of the game. Four Iowa college pres
idents declared the other day in favor
Of football, but were dead set against
the brutality.'' The discussion of
the subject has cleared up the matter
a good deal in the public mind. It is
coming to be understood that the game
as it is now played is not one in which
an eleven of young, slender high school
boys should be matched against big,
heavy university teanl-that when the
game is played it must be played be-
tween equals in strength and weight.
So long as football can draw great
deal larger crowds than any other
game and arouse ten times the inter.
est taken in any other sport, it is like
ly to continue in college athletics. AT
the same time, there is undoubtedly
room for material change which ought
to be made. No matter how much o
AN enthusiast one may be on football
he will have to admit that when il
comes to the point where success
in the game depends entirely or chiefly
upon the physical strength and endur
ance- and weight of the players, the
game is not Of kind which ought t(
be typical of college sport or furnish
the highest satisfaction to intelligent
people, and that in football, as it il
played now by the big colleges, reli
ance is placed largely upon what i
| called ''beef" cannot be denied. 7
would seem to be up to the coache
and trainers as we'll as the players t.
recognize the fact that if the game i
to be retained as the leading featur
of college sport 1t must be modife
and, just as they say of the tariff
that it should be revised by it's friend
football should not be modified b
its enemies.

The State of Lincoln.

Whatever may be the fate Of Arizona
and New Mexico in the consideration Of
statehood for the territories, it seems
to be generally agreed that Oklahoma
and Indian Territory ought to come in
at the next session Of congress as one
state. Oklahoma and Indian Territory
together have nearly million people.
They are we'll advanced in respect of
railroad building, the building Of cities,
Improvement of farms, the development
of mineral resources, the extent and i'm
portance Of the cattle industry and in
other ways. These two territories con-
stitute a very rich and productive Sec
tion of our country. They are entitled
to recognition as state.
1t is true that there are large NUM-
bers of Indians and a good many ne
groes there, but the Indians are for the
most part civilized and educated and
capable of exercising the functions of
the citizen, while the negroes are per-
haps as we'll qualified for citizenship as
those Of any other part Of the country.
To this new state it is proposed to
the martyred president. We have

Sunday Closing in Chicago.

Someone calls the attention OF l. g
jour- to an editorial in the Chlca-
90. Tribune Of the 18th inst. on ''Clos-
ing the Saloons on Sunday The
Tribune saws it has received number
Of letters from persons who wish to
know why it is resisting the demand
upon Mayor Dunno to close the saloons
in Chicago on Sunday. III The Tribune
denies that it is resisting this demand.
It. is perfectly willing that the mayor
shall yield to this demand if he thinks
it wise to do 50, but manifestly The
Tribune is not in sympathy with the
idea of closing the saloons on Sunday,
or rather perhaps with the idea of try
ing to close them, because The Tribune
assumes that Sunday closing would not
be effective in Chicago. It cites pre-
vious experience in the support of that
view, but it appears that Sunday clos
ing in Chicago had It's last trial thirty
years ago. Undoubtedly public sentiment
has made some advance on the saloon
question. in thirty years, but possibly
lot in Chicago. It certainly has in
Minneapolis. The agitation for Sun
day closing has been made several times
during the past twenty years, and once
the attempt was made to carry it out
but without success. Possibly 4 the
same kind Of an attempt would fai

whole question has changed in Mime
