The WHEAT DAMAGE.
Mr.. Smiley Places 1t at From Ten to
Sixty Per Cent.

The report of E ]. Smiley, secretary
of the Kansas Grain Dealers associa-
ton, issued to members of the associa-
tion gives the estimated damage to the
wheat crop at from 10 to 60 per cent
The report is made from information
furnished by over 800 correspondents
The damage to the oats crop, ac-
cording to this report, is from 15 to 80
per cent, and in many counties it is
a complete failure. Green bugs and
dry weather are responsible.
The heaviest damage to the wheat is
reported in the central and southern
parts of the state. In Cowley county it.
is said to be 60 per cent: Barber, so
per cent; Barton. so; Cherokee, so;
Coffee. so; Chautauqua, so per cent
The greatest damage is in Sumner
county. where it is said to be 20 per
cent. The losses in all the other coun-
ties in central and southern Kansas as
reported. are from 10 per cent to 80
per cent In Decatur, Lane and Wash
ington counties no loss is reported
Northern Kansas appears affected only
from 10 to 90 per cent. due principally
to dry weather. The damage in west
ern Kansas is about the same The
worst damage from green bugs ap-
pears to be in central Kansas They
are also invading the northern coun-
ties

HE SAW THEM SHOOT.
Mexican Editor Testifies That Negro
Soldiers Did Brownsville Killing.


Washington, May 22-Pauline S.
Preciado, editor of a Mexican newspa-
per in Brownsville. Tex. and an eye
witness to the shooting of Frank
Natous. the only man killed in the
shooting there last August, was on the
stand before the senate committee on
military affairs. When the shooting
began Preciado was sitting in the
court in the rear of TilIman's saloon.
According to his story. man named
CriXel, who runs "a saloon across the
street from Tillman's- place, rushed in
excitedly and reported that the me
groeS were out"
The doors of Tillman's saloon were
imme mediately closed and barred and
Natous, the bartender, started across
the court to bar the gate, which con-
nected the court with the alley. Pre-
ciado followed, but before he had
emerged from the saloon into the
court he saw five negro soldiers in
Uniform enter the gate. They fired
several shots and Natous threw up his
arms and fell on his back. dead. An
other bullet graZed Preciados hand
and it bled profusely. Still another
bullet passed through Preciado's coat
and vest near the left breast pocket
and broke his glasses, which were in
a case in the pocket.
The men Immediately ran down the
alley, shooting as they went. He swore
positively that the men were negro
soldiers.

result of an attempted criminal assault
last night on Mrs. Laura Moore, white,
widow, about six miles from here, by
FIem Padget, a negro.
Padget and a negro woman were
lynched. and the death or injury of the
others followed the efforts of a posse
to capture Padget. News of the at
tempted assault aroused the citizens,
who Immediately went to the home of
the negro's father. He assured the
crowd that his son was not within the
house and invited the posse to search
for themselves.
AS the posse approached the house
Flem Padget fired on the crowd, kill

ment employed a young man to take

THAT LIGHTING PROPOSITION.

The proposition of the Edison COM
pany to light the city of Topeka at an
unexpectedly low price is being re-
ceived with more or less favor in
many quarters. But this is question
that should not be touched upon
lightly. 1t is a problem that is sur
rounded by an array of figures that
would confuse any ordinary man.
The friends of the proposition should
not overreach themselves. They do
not scruple to attack the entire system
of municipal ownership. They assert
boldly that the Topeka plant has been
a failure from start to finish; they
even quote the false and misleading
statement that the city has paid $93
per lamp for lighting the city; they
say that the city plant is mismanaged
and that it can not be conducted
properly so long as it is operated by
the city.
Prof. r. w. Freeman, who made a
careful study of the Topeka situation,
says that it will cost about $50 per
lamp to light the city, allowing for
interest and depreciation. A book by
Edward w. Bemis, published in 1899.
gave the cost of the street lights in
Topeka as $41.48 per lamp, not allow
ing for interest and depreciation, and
figuring these in with per cent each
for depreciation and interest he places
the cost at $59.7S.
Conditions have changed since then
and with up to date machinery cleo
tricity may be furnished much cheap
er. At that time. however, there was
not a single municipality lighted by
private contract which got its lights
nc ahoa arolx iT1iT a
$40 and the maximum $13S per lamp
in cities about the size of Topeka.
Topeka has an investment of $780,
900 in it's lighting system. 1t has
saved a large share of this by oper-|
ating it's own lights, as when the plant
was built in 1887 the lowest bid for
lighting the streets was $120 per lamp.
But even then can the city afford to
throw away it's lighting system and
place itself at the mercy of a corpora
ton which in ten years. the life of the
proposed contract. will be in a position
to dictate terms?
The city council should take no
rash steps. The city should be able
to do its lighting cheaper than any
which necessarily must
figure interest on its bonds, taxes and
profits to the stockholders in making
its contracts.
The people voted decisively years
ago that the municipality should do
its own street lighting. If the plan
which has since been in use is to be
it should be with the con-
sent of the people. Submit the propo-
sition to the voters and see what they
say about it. If they want to abandon
the lighting of the streets. all right.
But until an expression is received
from them direct the city council
should think well what it is doing.
