AN ANCIENT RELIC.
Glass vessel of Great Antiquity and
Beautiful Workmanship DiscoV-
cred Near an English Abbey

London, July 27.-The Express
prints a story of the discovery near
Glastonbury Abbey of a glass vessel
of beautiful workmanship and appar-
emily of great antiquity which one'
at least, of the discoveries believes
is the Holy Grail of the Arthurian
legend. The Holy Grail is the cup
from which Christ is reputed to have
drunk at the last supper and accord
ing to ancient British tradition 1t
was brought to England by Joseph
of Arimathea after the crucifixion.
The vessel is of blush green glass
of some kind, cunningly inlaid with
silver leaf. A number of eminent
persons, including some peers with
ecclesiastical interests, Ambassador
Reid. Professor William Crookes and
the Rev. R. ]. Campbell have exam
ined it. It is now in the possession
of Prof. Crookes, who has under
taken to solve its history.

FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE.
Remarkable Incident Taat Disturbed
SoIemnity Of Funeral.

Instead of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial of the
dead, Q great excitement and fear at
tended the burial the other day of
Michael Serene, prominent merchant
of Westport, when by the collapsing
of a grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave, the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened it's descent by tumbling on
it. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and in a few seconds five per-
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed.-N. Y. Press.

PROSECUTIONS PERSECUTION

When the big sugar refinery was to
be built at Garden City, the Santa Fe
road, which, by the way, made Garden
City, Clipped in" with some money to
help build it. If the new industry was
to be success, which 1t will not be,
then the Santa Fe would be the bene-
ficiary, for every ton of beets hauled
in and every sack of sugar hauled out
would pay freight to the Santa Fe
road.
The Santa Fe has spent hundreds
and hundreds Of thousands of dollars
in the southwest in aiding enterprises
and building towns. No one ever be-
fore questioned the right of the road
to help build town that would bring
it business when built. The road had
as much right to do that as citizen
has to contribute money to build a
church, or to erect factory. But the
new school of reformers smelled rat.
They went after the Santa Fe, and got
an indictment against the road for
giving rebates. The jury construed
the donation as rebate" The pos
sible fines against the road for this
horrible crime will amount to $780,
000
In other words, the Santa Fe must
not hereafter give aid or comfort or
encouragement or cash to any enter
prise that will build up the country
through which it goes, nor help in any
way the citizens of a town to develop
proposition for the Santa Fe to help
erect the sugar refinery. The Gazette
does not believe it was good business,
because it does not believe the beet
sugar industry will prove a success.
Bat that is neither here nor there.
The Santa Fe and the Garden City
people take their chances on that and
they know more about it than the Ga
Zette does. If the industry is a sue
cess, 1t will not only inure to the behe-
fit of the people of the upper Arkansas
valley in Kansas, but to the whole
country In general, and to the Santa
Fe railroad in particular. The gov.
eminent itself has been giving bonus
to the sugar growers all these years, a
part of the time in cash to the pro-
ducers, and part of the time in a
tariff on their products. The action of
the government in indicting the rail-
road for doing exactly what the gov.
eminent itself has done for years and
is doing now is so inconsistent as to
be absurd.
And if this is to be the policy pur-
sued and if this is the theory of the
government in regard to the law pro-
hibiting rebates, where will the Santa
Fe and every other pioneer road land?
From Topeka to Coolige and from
Newton to Arkansas City and Kiowa,
there is not town in Kansas that
has not been given assistance by the
Santa Fe road. 1t has done something,
sometimes more and sometimes less,
for each and every one of them, but
there is not one that has not been
helped In local enterprises by the
Santa Fe. If this policy of the gov
eminent Is to be carried out, there is
not enough stock of the Santa Fe to
pay the fines that can be assessed
against it unless the statute of limita-
tons has run against the crimes
and misdemeanors.-Law KS.

FIEND|sH GRIMES
Berlin the Scene of a Series of Cold
Blooded Attacks by a
"Jack-the-Ripp en-"
MURDERS LITTLE CHILDREN
Three Little Girls Stabbed by the
Monster in few Minutes-A
Suspect Under Arrest Barely
Escaped Lynching.

Berlin, July PA series of cold
blooded crimes, singularly resembling
the "Jack-the-R Ripper" murders but for
the fact that instead of women the
victims were little girls, followed one
another with remarkable celebrity Fri
day afternoon almost in the center of
the city and aroused the most intense
excitement and Indignation. Within a
short space of time the assassin sue
cessively enticed three girls, babies,
the oldest only years, into door ways
of houses and stabbed them several
times in the abdomen with sharp in
strument. AS result one of the chill
dren is dead, another is dying and the
third is dangerously wounded.
The first knowledge that the crimes
had been committed came when an &C.
cupant of the house at the corner of
Ryke and Belford streets found the
body of Margaritha Prawitz, aged four,
lying in the doorway bather in blood
the lower part of the body horribly
gashed. This was Immediately report
ed to the police who were about to
proceed to investigating the case when
reports came that Bertha Lanst aged
8 and ELY Knispel, five years old had
been found similarly on the ground but
alive in Prenzalaur Alice and Hen
sersdorfer street, respectively.
Rumors soon spread magnifying the
number of victims and the inhabitants
of the neighborhood became intensely
chill
dren in the street and made them re-
turn indoors in fear that they might
meet a similar fate. Crowds gathered
about the police station, shouting
vengeance against the murderer.
The officials acted quickly in an
endeavor to locate the murderer and
published an offer of a reward of ST.
900 for his capture.
All the available police and detec-
tives were ordered to scour the neigh
borhood. Some parents have reported
that their children had seen a haggard
man about 81 years old, well dressed
and wearing cap, offering candy and
fruit to little girls whom he asked to
accompany him.
A man was arrested shortly after
ward who tailed somewhat with this
indefinite description. Later he was
confronted by the two wounded chill
dren who, however, were too weak to
respond to the questions put to them.
The man was then taken in cab
guarded by police to the police station.
The crowd outside the station, belelv-
ing him to be the murderer attempted
to drag him from the vehicle and
lynch him and he was only saved by
the policemen drawing their swords
and holding the crowd at bay The
people then attempted to storm the
station and the prisoner was removed
to the Central station for security.
Should the two wounded children
not die in the meantime the prisoner
will again be confronted by them.
Friday. night the streets of the city
and suburbs were patrolled by large
numbers of police. The most intense
excitement prevailed and the people
were discussing the question whether
or not the murderer is still at large
and whether the bloody deeds are still
to continue.

Driving Into Nets.

In the old days every southern gen.
tleman had his net for quail. The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth of to-day may never enjoy such
sport. In the proper season the neigh
bors were invited. All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach of dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead Of a
gentle horse. Much skill was required
to drive a covey into the net. AS many
as 80 horsemen would form semi.
circle and slowly, patiently, silently
make the roundup, all driving toward
the common center, yet from one gen.
eral direction only, and that always
against the wind. The net had been
set facing the wind. An impatient
man on a fractions horse might des.
troy the work of half day by flush
ing entire coveys.

NEBRASKA LAW IS VALID
Judge Munger Refused to Grant Ex'
press Companies an Injunction.
He Holds the Act Reducing Express
Rates Observation-Disclosures
Has Decided to Compromise.

Omaha, Neb., July 27.-Judge w. II.
Munger, in the federal court Friday
handed down decision holding that
the Sibley law, passed by the. last legis-
lature providing for reduction of 20
per cent in express rates is constitu-
tional and denying the application of
the express companies for a temper
airy injunction restraining the Nebras-
ka railway commission from enforcing
the law. The court holds that the ex-
press companies have made no show
ing that the commission has done
anything to impair the rights of the
companies, pending an action filed in
the state supreme court and are there
fore not entitled to an order restrain
ing the commission from enforcing the
law. He says the express companies
will have opportunity to make its
showing before the supreme court, but
gives the companies leave to again
apply for such an order should condi-
lions change.
The decision is confirmation of the
refusal of the court to issue the in
junction prayed for last week.
