TNHrATANTTY.

One of the most revolving cases of
cruelty that has been brought to the
attention Of the public recently is that
which has been disclosed in the Riggin
family at Fort Scott, in which the
stepmother of a 6-year-old boy is held
for murder for beating and starving
the child to death.
That such a thing could happen in
an enlightened and civilized community
is almost beyond belief. 1t is beyond
comprehension that any human being
in this so-called Christian land, least of
all a woman, could be so brutal as to
so cruelty mistreat an innocent child.
1t makes ones blood boil to think
of it!
The child. according to the testi-
mOny in the preliminary hearing of
the woman. was compelled to stand by
when he, with his little sister. was
starving, and see the other members of
the family eat. He actually had to
pick refuse out of a slop barrel to al
lay his hunger, and that at the tender
age of six years.
Nor was this all: He was beaten
and abused daily until his screams ter
rorized the neighborhood. And not
long ago a child of the stepmother's s.
I directed by the woman. beat the little
boy with a broomstick. That was the
last. His starved body could no long
( er stand such treatment, and his soul
went out from it. The little sister
/ only three years old. was rescued from
/ the alleged home where she had been
subjected to similar mistreatment and
was taken to hospital
The world has certainly been hard
to these two innocent little ones
While other children were happy they
were starved and one was beaten tC
death. Such inhumanity assured,
merits the severest punishment. The
thought that such a thing could pos

the failure Of that Allegheny bank in

In the Kansas instance, not only is
the s547, 600 of state funds loaned, not to
a number Of politicians. but to a single
individual, and in addition to that the
same individual was loaned about ST..
0,000 Of the money belonging to other
depositOrs And this loan of state
funds was not made to a number of
politicians who might make good" or
