THE COIN HUNGER.

About the worst thing that can

of the idea that money is the only
thing that knocka.
1t is a pleasant thing to have
money enough to secure the com

Salted down in the cellar for a win

to spend money, and send it to the
heathea, and Ih.ow it al the birds;
SO there is no use denying that
money has its uses.
But that man is unfortunate who
makes deity of money, and who
kneels at the thEcwa Of the dollar,
and burns incense there, and he
should be pitied rather than CON
demned for his heresy; for, like the
Holy Rollers and Do shobals, he
is at as! snce.e n hi .aita,
and is willing to & naked OF walk
on thorns for it.

a disease, and there should be insti-

LAND FRAUDS.

Washington, an. IS Startling
information OF alleged wholesale
and astounding frauds upon the
public lands has come into the pess
esslon of Secretary Garfield through
special agents in the field. The al
legation is made that approximately
$11o, 900, 900 worth of lands IN
states, principally west of the Miss
lssippi river, have been fraudulently
acquired within the past two years
by corporations and individuals.
With a view of recovering these
la n IDS Secretary Garfield today sent
letters to Chairman Hale and Taw-
ney of the Senate and House ap'
preparation committees, respectively,
asking for an appropriation OF $780,
600 which, if granted, with that
already asked for will give the de-
partment 81, ooo, 900 for that pur-
pose. The specific purpose OF the
appropriation requested is for pre-
wanting depredations upon public
timber, protecting public lands, ex-
amining swamp lands, etc.
1t is stated that there is reason
able prospect of recovering much
of this alleged fraudulently acquired
land if the appropriation is promptly
made.
Secretary Garfield also submits a
statement of H. H. Schwartze, CHIEF
of the fields, view, showing over
80, 900 distinct cases of alleged land
frauds, demanding further invest
| igation. The number of such cases
awaiting investigation by states now
pending is as follows:
Oregon, 1,46a; California and
Nevada, 1,4o9; Washington and
North Idaho, 1895 Montana, 3D.
Cos; Colorado, soar; Arirona, 596i
Wyoming, aI,s6s; Minnesota, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, North and South
Decota, 5,so+; Missouri, Louisana
and Arkansas, 1888; Utah, r,49ai
Oklahoma and Kansas, 1912; New
Mexico, 1,2s5, and Florida, Ala
bama and MissIppi, 1900.
A summary of most ofthe larger
cases affected by charges of fraud
or illegality now pending, are sub
mittsd, but the details of identlh-
cation and names Of parties are
omitted because, it Is stated, thi.
would embarrass further inquiry into
such cases.

A LITTLE LAY SERMON.

church out in Westport, one of the
finest religions edifices in the West,
to cost a quarter of million of
dollars. 1t is Interesting to one who
is fond of analogies to watch the
progress on the building from day
to day as he rides past on the cars,
and to speculate on the analogy
between erecting such a building
and building human character. 1t
is particularly interesting to glance
through half-closed eyes as the cars
whizz by and notice how every day
of good working weather sees the
work just little nearer completion,
even though it be by but a few
stones or timbers. Most. interest
ing Of all is it to watch the pile of
strangely shaped stones that appear
to the casual observer to be of no
possible use or value. Yet they
disappear one by one, each finding
its way into its proper niche, none
utterly useless and each being
absolutely necessary to the com
pleteness of the structure. Indeed
each has cabslistic mark or o
number design ating to the builder
just the particular place for which
it was designed and into which il
will ht. No other stone In all the
huge plies will fit into Just tina,
place, and this is the real slgAif
cance Of the larger analogy between
the erection Of a building at Hunter
avenue aHd Broadway and the gres
plan of this worlds stfairs-aad, fol
all we know, of all worlds affairs

them, like some Of the sweet, re-
firing and faithful human beings
with whom the world abounds,
would gratefully accept the designa-
tion, whether humble or in the eyes
of the multitude, whether corner =
stones and keystones or only modest
blocks away up there near the tree
tops. And by their patient and
uncompla,ning acquiescence they
would teach the great lesson of the
worlds mighty building plan, that
the blazoned pillars and the carved
arches are all tight in their places,
but that they are utterly valueless
without the vast numbers of the
tiny stones and the plebeian brick
hidden away behind the mortar in
the supporting walls. The world
rests upon the shoulders of the
many, the average men, not on the
Atlantes that imagine they bear il
on their backs and must, even in
mythology, call on mortals for help
to bear the load.
Perhaps the greatest lesson Of all
is that nothing is useless in this
world, bat that only the fitted ge'

chips that do not seem TO be Of

THE TOPEKA FIRE.

"" lhuISuay morning OF last
week the Copeland hotel at Topeka
was found to be in flames. 1t was
nearly q o'clock in the morning
when the fire was discovered and
the guests were all in bed. The bell
boys and porters hustled through
the corridors arousing the sleeping
inmates as fast as possible.
The fire seemed 20 start in the
kitchen and spread with amazing
rapidity to the elevator and stairway,
shutting cut all means of escape
except on the few fire escapes and
jumping from the windows. In a
very short time the corridors and
rooms were filled with smoke and
guests who were not perfectly ia
niliar with the interior arrangement
of the building were in a very be-
wildered situation. Many improvis-
ed ropes of bedding and slid down
them to safety, others, on the south
side, threw mattresses to the roof
below and jumped out on shem.
In this way Mrs. Billy Morgan broke
her leg. Farmer Smith and others
ia descending on their ropes of
bedding fell and were seriously hurt,
as were a number of others in vari-
Gus ways.
The sad feature, however, of the
whole affair was the death of Ike
Lambert of Emeria. He was the
only person out of probably near a
hundred who lost his life. He
occupied a rear room on the fourth
floor. While the firemen were get
ting ready to raise a ladder to his
room he was seen at the window but
before the ladder could be raised he
stepped back and was seen no more.
His charred and blackened body
was dug out of the debris in the
basement.
! The hotel was entirely destroyed
fand now remains but the blackened
walls of that once famous hOstlery.
This hotel had become famous
among the Republican politicians
Of Kansas. 1t was within It's walls
that many dark political coAspira-
cies were hatched. 1t was here the
political fortunes of men we're made
aad broken. The Republican
leaders Of the state met here to
consult, to conceive and to plan.
Candidates were named here and
campaigns fought out within these
walls.
We presume the hotel will be re-
built in q more modern style.
Ike Lambert who lost his life in
the fire was one of the leading
criminal lawyers Of the state, just in
the prime of liz He came to Kan
sas when a young man and located
at Emporia. Like many another
ysung lawyer, he had an uphill fight
for many years. but, by shere merit
he triumphed and his days OF
poverty we're over. He was popular
and we'll known. He was a cheer
full benevolent man. full Of good
deeds and kindly thoughts OF others,
and will be missed outside Of his
immediate family circle.
