Now they are after him again. The
green bug" has been disturbing the
dreams Of Kahsas wheat farmers, and
they have besr hustling for remedies.
Secretary fWiison, desiring to help the
farmers Of Kansas out. wrote letter
to Secretary C5burn and asked him to
have it printed in as many of the Kan
sas papersfas1lne could. Secretary CO.
burn read the letter. and then IavishIy
and with ,maIiee Prepense carried out
Secretary Wilson's orders. Every paper
in the Stale got that letter and then
some. Secretary Wilson advised farm
ers to plant turkey red wheat. He said
that in 1897 he'made some experiments
and found that turkey red spread out
and withstood the ravages Of bugs bet
ter than 9aag other variety. :.
q Just as soon as. the farmers got onto
the latest edict from Secretary Wilson
they began to guy him again. He had
begun TO experiment in turkey red
wheat in 1897. when as a matter of
fact Kansas had been using it for a
matter OF 20 years before 1897, almost
exclusively,
For the Federal Agricultural Depart
ment to be held up as 10 years behind
the times grated on Mr.. Wilson's nerves
In fact, it was the straw that broke the
camers back. Secretary Wilson can no
longer endure the grilling of Coburn of
Kansas. So his agents in the West have
been told to watch Coburn for errors
Down in bleeding Kansas the crowd is

Strength of CrocodiIe's Jaws. D.
(From the Chicago Daily News.)

Sir Samuel Baker in his book on wild
beasts says that the power of the jaws
of the crocodile is terrific.
Once he had the metal of a large
hook the thickness of ordinary teIe-
graph wire completely bent together. the
barbed point being pressed tightly
against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the crocodile's jaws when
seizing live duck which he had used as
a bait. the hook being fastened beneath
the wing On another occasion he found
fish weighing 20 pounds bitten clean
thru as if divided by a knife This again
was the work of the swapping jaws OF
crocodile.
Frenchman, Paul Bert. once made
experiments on the strength of croco-
dile's jaws by means of a dynamome-
ter. He found that crocodile weigh
ing 120 pounds exerted force of sos
pounds in closing his jaws. The lion
has an enormous jaw power. An Afri-
can traveller once pushed the butt end
of his gun into a lions mouth, and the
pressure of the jaws cracked it as the
1t had been struck by a steam ham,
mer.

MAYOR sCHMITZ TO THE PENITEN-
TIARY.

| The most hopeful sign from San
Francisco for a long time is that when
Judge Dunno sentenced Mayor Schmitz
to five years hard labor in the San
Quentin Penitentiary the crowded court
room broke into loud and uncomfortable
applause.
Applause and other outbursts in a
court Of justice are unseemly. and the
Judge very properly ordered the room
to be cleared.
If ever such manifestations are justi-
fable it was upon that occasion. They
expressed the peoples joy that the long,
dreary night Of misrule was ending and
the dawn breaking of day of law,
order and prosperity for the great city.
For six years now San Francisco has
been at the mercy Of what Gen. Fun
ston properly termed an "unwhipped
mob.'
Mayor Whelan, the last Democratic
Mayor. incurred the resentment of the
vicious element which forms too large
a proportion of San Francisco's popula-
ton by enforcing laws and repressing
disorder with heavy but just hand.
Then precious villains like Abe Ruef
and Eugene E. Schmitz came to the
front by playing artful lodges as
friends of the workingman," friends
to labor" enemies to capitalism" and
similar cheap demagoguery. They or
ganized monstrous tyranny of theft,
plunder and brutal bludgeoning of re-
spectacle men. 1t was something hide
Gus. Not even the money sent by the
charitable all over the world to help
the victims of the earthquake was safe
from their souiless greed. They stole
the money sent to put bread into the
mouths of the starving women and chill
dren. All this in the name of friend
ship to labor and the poor man.
Their reign of terror was so complete
that when the proceedings began the
courts could not get the Sheriff and his
deputies to execute the writs. Extraor-
dinary officers-Eiisors-h to be ap-
pointed.
Now all this eliminates in the arch
scoundrel in all this villainy spending
the next five years in the penitentiary
as common felon.
Having jury to bring in such a
righteous verdict. Judge to pronounce
a deserved sentence. and an audience to
enthusiastically applaud it shows San
Francisco is all right at heart

GAS PLANT OWNER SHOT
BY ENEMY At
GLOBE
Trouble Over Mine Causes H.
S. BuCkner to Kill
David James.
SLAYER MADE QUICK
ESCAPE ON HORSE

Globe, Oct. 22.-David James
one of the owners of the Globe Elec-
trio Light and Gas company, was
shot, and probably fatally wounded
last night by II. S. Buckner. Buckner,
who apparently had been waiting for
his victim, rode up on a horse as
James was coming from the gas
plant, and with a revolver at close
range shot James just below the
heart. Buckner escaped but officers
are on his trail. 1t is understood
that the reason for the shooting was
trouble over mining claims.
James Expected Trouble.
James had told several of his
friends during the past few days that
he expected trouble with Buckner,
but rather believed 1t would be Of n
legal nature, as Buckner claimed that
James had Jumped" his mining
not jumped the claims but that he
took them up after Buckner had
failed to work them properly and
they belonged to anyone.
Buckner has been watching devel-
opments of the prospects i'm question
and II is believed that the showing
made in the ore taken from the
mines caused him to reach such a
pitch of fury that he determined to
shoot James.
That he deliberately planned the
affair was shown by the manner in
which he waited until the owner of
the electric plant made his usual
evening inspection of the plant. and
started down a dark street toward
his home. Then Buckner rode up to
him, and parties in that vicinity
claim. shot him down without a
word
