sUNFLowER CROP
More Important Than Seat In the
Senate.

Topeka. Kan. Aug. When
Foster Dwight Coburn declined APP
pointment as United States senator
from Kansas two stories we're told in
explanation of his surprising mod
esty. Both, his friends say. were in
correct.
The real reason, according to the
same authorities, for Mr.. Coburn's
refusal to accept place in the upper
house of the national legislature was
his unwillingness to desert sun
flower crop in which he is far more
deeply interested than in lawmaking
or Washington politics. Mr.. Coburn
Is secretary of the Kansas state
board of agriculture. He has an idea
that the sunflower is useful, that the
seeds should be marketable. and
that 1t is up to- him to ascertain to
what use they can be put. He has
been conducting number of expert
ments for some time, and could not
afford to have them interrupted by
trip to Washington.

The first drop of the trap was au.

still hush fell on the vast crowd OF
spectators just before the trap was
sprung

Immediately everything was stilled,
There was a swish and the dull thud
OF the trap rebounding against the
scaffold floor. The body seemed to
strike the ground and the convul-
sIons OF the negro plainly showed
that death was not instantaneous,
The negro was dropped again and
again until the fifth drop sufiiced
The crowd then left. leaving the
body to the authorities.

MUST CATCH TRAIN
So Woman Takes Possession OF chi
cago Trolley Car.

Chicago. Aug. 1.--Pas. en~ers on a
southbound Halstead street car were
panic stricken when woman pushed
the motorman from the front platform
and ran the car at high rate Of speed
for nearly a mile. No stops were made
for passengers to get on or of, and the
car collided with coal wagons and 9TH
er vehicle along the route.
The woman who caused the terror
and excitement was Mrs. J. II. Chides-
ter of Evergreen Park. fourteen miles
southwest of Chicago. She wanted to
catch a Grand Trunk train at the Hal
stead and Forty-ninth street station
and for that reason took possession Of
the car. The conductor. assisted by
several mon passengers, overpowered
her after she had run the car sis
blocks and took her to the Halstead
street police station, Forty-seventh and
Halstead streets. She convinced the
police that she was not insane. and
was released.

"What bone would you pull &c
treat headache?" asked a layman.
Any bone that may be out OF its cor
rect position in the neck or back. 50
as to bring its pressure upon the
nerves which express the pain sense
that Is, IL the headache happens
to be due to bony slip; but of course
II may not be at all. That is one
frequent cause, but there are many
others which are apt to be operative.
A muscular contraction in the back,
In the neck, or over the head, may
likewise cause headache Indiges-
ton, eye-strain, mental fatigue. a
sluggish liver, constipation. kidney
disease. and many other things are
frequent causes OF headache. Hence
the cure of headache geographically
is the cure of Its cause or causes. To
find the remedy these causes, having
as they usually do an anatomical
basis, requires special and thorough
training, and that is why osteopathy
exists as an Independent school of
medicine. Its practitioners are spec
Ialists. They cure headaches, as they
do other diseases not by pulling" a
bone, unless a bone needs pulling"
but by finding the cause of each
special headache and giving that
cause whatever treatment is needed
to cure II. So in a dozen different
headaches none might be treated
alike geographically. and yet ten or
eleven of the dozen would likely be
cured.
Osteopathy is probably doing more
for suffering humanity than any re-
cent discovery. and I should like for
you to investigate its merits. |
should be pleased to see all who may
be interested in osteopathy at any
time from a. m. to 12 and 2 to
p N.
Osteopathy is the sane, rational
treatment of illness and disorders.

ton to see that its orders for the cut

st. Petersburg Spends Millions
In Free Soup.
Twenty Thousand Are Fed Daily and
Ten Thousand More Are
Not Employed.
TERRIBLE CONDITION FACED.

The douma is only one of the ma
ny troubles of the car. His empire
Is already suffering from numerous
calamities and Is threatened with
more. says William r.. Curtis. In the
Chicago Record-Herald. He enumer-
ates:
Industrial paralysis: financial de-
preston; uprlslngs OF the peasants:
mutlnies in the army and navy; fam
Inc In Ave provinces. with a popula-
ton OF IL millions OF people on the
verge OF starvation. and thlrty-fve
thousand unemployed workmen In
ST. Petersburg. most OF them armed.
and a corresponding numter 10 other
cities.
Occasionally he makes a conces-
sion but II always comes too late.
Therefore 1t has no effect in quieting
public clamor and he gets no credit
Yesterday he sent to the douma
fair and liberal solution of the land
problem. Six months ago. or even
three months ago. II would have
been welcomed with gratitude. but
now IL Is rejected with contempt
and dlstrust, and the peasantry
throughout the entire empire are
asking their representatives In the
douma when they may begin to pill
lage and destroy the estates of the
mobiles and other rich supporters OF
tho czar.
No army could stop such a move
ment. and the soldiers upon whom
the car relies comes from the very
classes Of the community which they

Of the members OF the Jouma who
has Just returned from Tula Prov
lnce reports that the peasants In
that district have struck for three
times the wages they received last
year. and refuse TO harvest the crops
unless the advance Is paid Such
concession would increase the price
Of grain so TO 100 per cent. through
out the empire. but II the strikers
insist upon Il the advance will have
to be paid or the haryests must be-
abandoned. They are very stubborn.
The peasants have learned a lesson
from the strikes In st. Petersburg
and Moscow last winter. and not
they alone. but all other trades, are
striking even the soldiers.
Thousands Unemployed.
The number OF unemployed In the
city Of St. Petersburg Is estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000. most OF them
operatives In manufactures which
have shut down or are running on
half time.
Some 10000 persons are being fed
daily by the municipal authorities of
st. Petersburg. There are boats ht-
ted IN as soup houses upon the rlv-
ers and canals which intersect the
city. and they move from place TO
place MS circumstances require.
This Is all paid for from the city
treasury. The system was adopted
last winter during the strikes and
more than half a million dollars has
since been expended for the purpose.

Eye Witness Describes Scene.

1 Eyt Nftht-- I6rtftnN-< oGtOf.
Col. Henry Thompson the well
known newspaper man OF Paducah.
went to Mayfeld and compares the
crowd there last night with mobs he
has seen. He said:
"The town was full OF people.
There were thousands thronglng the
streets leading from the depot to the
court. I verify believe Graves county
was in town. Some citizens said II
was the largest gathering ever in May
field.
IL can best describe 1t by relating
my experience. When. the train
steamed up. looked out and saw the
mass OF hnman beings crowded to the
very track. They would not let us of
with the soldiers We walked through
the Pullman and alightod.
There was no time wasted. Th ,
soldiers piled on the train in close
formation. with loaded guns. and some
car rying small arms, and started up
the street double quick. Thoy formed
In front. beside and behind the officers
with the prisoner
"The latter was dragged. for he was
short OF stature and could not Keep
up with the pace. lie showed little
emoiion-ln fact, little appreciation
OF the occasion.
"AlOng the line OF march men. wo-
men and children In the street. on
houses, from windows and even trees
cheered. Occasionally some hot head
cried lynch him. but no concentrated
movement was started.
II doubt II the militia could have
stopped that crowd. The soldiers
were jammed In a little mass in the
middle OF the street. grazing a solid
wall Of humanity that reached to the
buildings on either side, as they
marched. | don't believe the soldiers
could have gotten their guns down to
a position to do any execution last
I night They were wedgad In. T
"They hurried the prisoner to the
court room Everything was ready.
The pre,iminaries we're rushed. He
pleded guilty. Not a witness was ex-
amIned. Then the jury retired.
"whIls the Jury Was out the pris-
oner turned to the Judge and said be
would like to get life sentence. The
Judge replied stern,y that the case was
IN the hands OF the jury.
"The prisoner subsidized. The jury
returned and the verdict was read.
The usual formalities were gone
thror Oh and sentence was passed. The
trip to the gallows was made In Just
as rapid order.
Everything had been made ready
The coffin and grave clothes were I'M
der the scaffold.
1T was fortunate nothing was start
cd II could not be said there was a
mob in Mayfield. The crowd really
was orderly. But the situation was
omlnous. Everybody, even the sold
lors were keyed TO a nervous intensity
that made me shudder to think OF the
latent possibilities in that determined
crowd of people.
"Oncc on the march a flash light
was taken. At the explosion that crowd
broke and careened like a solid piece
of maonry under a charge Of dyna-
mite. A bomb In the crowd could not
have made a more apparent impress
sion.
II presume there we're 500 rigs
hItched around the court house when
we arrived"
