Stricken In Church

Mrs. F. L. Caples of Galena,
Kansas, was stricken unconsci-
GUS by nervous prostration while
preparing to play the closing
hymn at the services of the Cen
trial Christian church Sunday
night, September z.
The Reverend L. L. Combs,
the pastor, was concluding his
sermon, and Mrs. Caples started
to rise from her chair back Of
the pulpit to play the closing
hymn when she collapsed and
fell to the floor unconscious be-
fore the congregation. Immedi-
atel the church was in an uproar.
Services were stopped and the
congregation gathered about the
PROSTATE organist. AT first it
was thought that the seizure was
merely fainting spell, but on
the failure of all the remedies
usually applied in such cases to
restore consciousness more Sc
rious results were feared.
Several physicians among the
congregation made a more care
full Investigation and pronounced
the case one Of nervous prostra-
ton, together with a slight at
tack of heart failure.
Mrs. Caples was formerly Miss
Sallie Searcy and is an alumna
and former music teacher Of

She was married to F. S. Caples
who used to be in the drug bust
ness in Lexington.
In a letter received here a few
days ago she was reported slight

Chase After Corn Thieves.

For some time the farmers liy-

been missing corn from their

They were loath to believe that a

the depredations continued, sus-

who came out from Kansas City
a few days ago and bought a place
in the community. His name was
Albert Medcoff and aside from
being a farmer he followed car

Judge walIace's Failure.

When those who supported
Judge w. H. Wallace because of
the self satisfaction that comes
of sneakinq for law enforcement
or law observance take council
with themselves, they may ind,
by a simple process of analysis,
a vast difference between what
Judge w Wallace mas been endieav.
oring so assiduously to enforce
and genuine law. A statute is
merely so much ink and paper in
its genesis and it remains such,
no matter what effort is made
at enforcement, unless it is made
virile by popular approval.
Under the impelling force of
the Puritapism exerted 50 pow
erfully a century and less ago,
laws crept into the statute books
of nearly all States prohibiting
the doing Of things perfectly
moral in themselves. The mum
erically stonger and more ag1
gressive class undertook to level
temperamental distinctions and
impose upon the weaker or more
indifferent their pronounced
ideas of Sabbath observance. So
long as the laws accorded with
the popular will there was al
most a voluntary observance.
When the small and Indifferent
class became dominant, the laws
remained laws only because they
had not been formally repealed.
1t is the conventional and APP.
parently convincing argument
of the superficial "law-obser.
vance advocates that the law is
there to be enforced and that
failure in this respect 0egets
contempt for all Legislative en-
actmentS and rules of conduct
If enforcement of the law is not
wanted, then repeal, not viola
ton, is the remedy, runs the ar.
gument. 1t is here that Puri.
tism enlists politics on its side.
Threats of vote-opposition are
sounded if the laws are changed

Blazing The Way.

Jefferson City Tribune, Au-
gust 2s.)
The..Democratic national plat
form adopted at Kansas City in
1900, contained the following dec
laration:
Corporations should be pro-
tected in ali their rights and
their legitimate interests should
be respected, but any attempt
by corporations to interfere with
the public affairs of the people,
or to control the sovereignty
which creates them, should be
forbidden under such penalties
as will make such attempts i'm
possible" The author of this
declaration was William j. Stone,
Missouri's representative on the
com nittee on resolutions, which
drafted this platform. The fact
shows Stone as nsnal in the role
of the pioneer. He was the first
to raise his voice in the House Of
Representatives against the use
of the writs of Federal courts to
c@rce counties into paying fraud
ulent bond issues. He was the
first governor to put into effect a
rigid policy Of law enforcement
in st. Louis, the law establishing
an excise commissioner having
been passed in his administra.
tion. He was the first governor
Of Missouri to demand legislation
regulating the organized lobby.
He was the first governor to de-
mand a fellow-servant law. He
was the only governor in states
where the railroad strike of 1894
was raging to refuse to use the
militia, yet who enforced public
order and maintained peace with

Republican alliance with the in
surance companies and other
creatures of Wall street. He wa,
the first to advocate imprison
ment penalties for lawless rail
road magnates. And now, by thu
above, we prove that Stone pre-
coded Roosevelt four years and
more in condemning corporation
activities in politics, Moreover
by the aid of William J. Bryan
he succeeded in committing tn
Democracy of the nation to a pol
icy for which Roosevelt nov
claims credit. We comment
these facts to the consideration
of those who want to refus

No proofs more striking have

will not believe it illegal to keep

on Sunday, no matter what the

Judge Wallace is not to be sub
to adverse criticism for
his endeavors. His interpreta-
ton of the law is merely too liter
al in view of the concrete condi-
tons. His practical efforts have
lent emphasis to his failure. The
unfortunate thing is that the
lawmakers stand in too great
fear of the Puritanical enthu-
siasts to permit the repeal of
statutory measures obviously
obnoxious to a vast majority of
the people. --St. Louis Republic.

one occasion the wire chief in southern city received news of the burning of depot in a town 15 miles away only 30 minutes before train time, and it was inn perative that the new wire and instru- ments be rushed to the spot The first dray that could be found was pressed into service, loaded with men and mate rial, and the race through the streets to the depot, mile away, began.
 Never was there such a look of aston ishment as the face of that boney old white horse wore while his negro driver stood up and dashed him on his way, and the linemen prayed that the rattle-trap wagon might hold together until the sta tion could be reached. To spectators along the sctreets the outfit must have seemed like the ghost of Holmes "One EIoss Shay" But they caught the train
 Speaking of the personal side of teleg- raphy immediately brings one around to the operator-the indispensable element of the service. The man at the key, and the key itself, have not yet been super seded by machines to any great extent
 Step by step the operator has followed the changes and improvements in the telegraph. In the days of Morse mes sages were received printed in the dots and dashes on a moving strip of tape and transcribed by the operators. This was before the introduction Of typewriters, and the men prided themselves on their beautiful handwriting. Eventually somc operators found that they could read the clicks of the printing register as easily as they could the tape; thus the present uni versal system of sound reading came into use. being greatly aided through the in vention by a Kentuckan of the loudly clicking sounder.
 This invention paved the way for re- ceiving messages directly from the wire on the operators typewriter
 While the responsibility of the com merciaI telegrapher, so far as life and property may go, may not be so great as that of his railway brother his position is by no means free from opportunity to cause much distress or financial loss through an error. Yet the number of mistakes made is not so great might be imagined and the number of messages lost in transit is too insignificant for mo- tice. The trained operator has almost the proverbial sixth sense for detecting bulls in a message, and will send it back through several relay offices. If necessary, in order to have 1t corrected.
 In some of the great relay offices the so-called "tell-tale" machines are con- nected with the more important circuits, and they literally tell the tale' on a moving tape of every letter going over such circuits. If complaint is received of the erroneous transmission of telegram. this tape is brought out and the respon- sibility for the mistake clearly and inds- putably fixed on the operator at fault.
