Mr.. Walker as his son closed the arithmetic, and
came to say goodnight.

copied the bill never had been taught accuracy, and
instead Of copying the hyphen, he changed it to a

The more timid girl shrank second, appalled,
at the suggestion. Then she said bravely:
"You are right It would be worse waiting here "
The aunt strove to dissuade them both at first
from what seemed hazardous undertaking, but
something in their faces checked the words upon
her lips. Both girls kissed her though they were
taking a solemn farewell, and they inquired if she

found themselves at their destination Stretched

A Suicide.

Marion Bcale, a farmer living
about seven miles southeast of

Wednesday morning by his youngest
son. A bullet hole was In the cen

Mr.. Beale and his son have been

died, something over year ago.
No cause can be assigned for the
act. He owned a farm and stock
and owed no one. He has seemed

brooding over something, but DO

He had carefully planned the
whole affair and sent his boy to a

which the deed was committed.
He arose early Wednesday morn

LENNY LYEN WOUNDED.
Burglar Held Up Bank, Lyen
Shoots.

Through the courtesy OF Otto
Alcock we are privileged to make
some extracts from the Daily Herald
Everett, Wash, which gives com
plete account of the hold-up.
1t seems Lenny was at the rear OF
the bank talking to gentleman
when the robber came In and
ordered the assistant cashier to
throw up his hands, which he
promptly did. The robber then
began scraping the cash In sight
into a small grip he carried.
Lenny grabbed his revolver and
slipped out the back way and com
ing around to the front door had
the robber at his mercy. However,
he did not shoot him down as he
might have done but seems to have
grappled with him. During the
struggle the robber used his revolver,
shooting Mr.. Lyen in the point of
the jaw, the bullet knocking out a
tooth and passing thr&ugh his neck.
BY letter from Mrs. Lyen 1t
was also learned that Lenny was
shot again. The robber then broke
away and both Lenny and the
assistant cashier followed, shooting
at HIM till he mounted bicycle
and rode away.
Armed men Immediately gathered
and began a search for the crimi-
nal but up to latest reports he had
not been found.
He only secured few hundred
dollars.
Mr.. Lyen is very badly wounded
but it is thought he will pull
through all right.

SPECIAL SESSION.

Gov. Stubbs seems to be seriously
considering the advisablity of
calling a special session of the
legislature to settle the quarrel that
is on between the national and state
banks about the interest they may
pay on time deposits. This seems
to us to be rather an unnecessary
piece of business. Why rot let the
banks get together and regulate
their own rates.
Just about as we'll call a special
session and regulate rates that
newspapers shall charge for adver-
tislng. This seems simply to be a
little trouble the bankers are having
among themselves. We are of the
opinion that there is not much
danger of the banks paying more
for deposits than they can stand.
That does not seem to be their
theory of business. Anyway not
many banks of Kansas are likely to
bust themselves by paying excessive
interest before the next regular
session of the legislature.
Oar opinion is that money will
be so plentiful in Kansas the coming
year, after this fine crop is fully
natured, that bankers will be aim ost
ready to pay premium to anybody
that will take it off their hands.
The expense of a special session
is considerable and the demand
should be more general before it Is
incurred.

A LITTLE LAY SERMON.

The celebration of the three
hundredth anniversary of the dis
covsry of Lake Champlain and the
two hundred and hftieth anniversary
of the f ,unding OF Norwich, Conn,
are two interesting reminders of the
fact that we, the United States, are
getting along ia years, and yet there
is no land Oh the face of the earth
= that is so splendidly young- Nc
country on the globe is, even four
centuries after its discovery, so
pre-. eminently the land of oppor-
tunity. A country that can cele
brate tercentenaries in comparative
pnofusion and where October II is
made a legal holiday In several
states, canonizing the achievements
of Columbus, might we'll be expected
to be approaching the zenith VI its
possibilities.
To be sure, there are statisticans
who figure that in smother hundred
years there will be nearly billion
and half of people here, and that
there will be one person. to every
sixteea square miles of surface, In
GLIDING all the waste places and
swamp lands. But Notwithstanding
these statistical jeremiads, America
remains today the country Of lumin-
ous goals, the undeveloped colorado
of limitless opportunity. Its materi-
al wealth has been depleted only as
a great store of treasure is lesssned
by the spending of a few pennies.
Its agricultural possibilities have
hardly been limited at. The surface
of the ground has hardly been
scratched. Our history has besn
replets with marvellous stories of
success attained by those whose
beginnings were the humblest and
whose handieaps were the heaviest.
The volume of that Aladdin like
narrative still has many untitled
pages and every day sees a new
chapter written.

"NO VOTES, NO HUSBANDS.

woman suffrage had nailed their
colors to the mast, so to speak. and
were marching under the slogan:
"No votes, no babies; and that
they proposed to lead public senti-
ment toward their goal by means
of this appeal to one of the most
potent sympathes still left to human
nature In an unsentimental time and
generation. But now, in Chicago,
the Political Economy Union has
gone step farther, and announced
Its purpose In the succinct terms,
"No votes, no husbands"
Moreover, they are not going to
be passive in the matter, but have
drafted pledge which is circulated
for signatures. This pledge reads:
"We, the undersigned, believing
as we do, that in the matter of in
telligence women are equally en-
dowed with men, hereby pledge
ourselves not to mary any man
who is not a believer in and an
active worker for the cause of equal
suffrage for men and women"
Miss Mary McEuerney, secretary
of the Bindery Women's Union, is
the leader In the present movement,
and expressed herself with en-
thusiasm to an interviewer of the
Chicago Record Herald. The re-
porter asked if she were really in
earnest:
81 know some one who doesn'l
doubt my being In earnest" She
replied, with twinkle of her eyes
81 told him SO long time ago, too.
This thing didn't originate with
Josephine Casey in New York
Some of US adopted that method
of dealing with men when Miss
Casey was here, but we didn't tell
every one about it.
"Marry a man who didn't believe
in woman suffrage?" continued Miss
McEnerney. "Well, should think
| would not. How do you think
such a man would treat a wife2 Do
you think l would take a vow to
love, honor and obey man like
T that? Not SO you could notice it..
III don't go too much on this
'obeying' business anyway. A man
who is SO narrow and bigoted that
he would not concede his wife had
equal rights with himself doesn't
|, deserve to be honored. You
couldn't honor such a man, at least
could't, and | don't propose to
try"
There is no doubt about where
Miss McEnerney stands in this
matter, and equally no doubt about
her entire simplicity of mind in
choosing what she pitched upon as
an effective line of attack. Atleast,
the Chicago suffragists give the men
fair warning. Their English sisters
enlisted married women under the
similar battle cry of "No votes, no
bables," and thus placed themselves
in the position Of campalgners who
found any weapon good in war. The
Chicago suffraglsts sent their re.
cruiting sergeants out among the
unmarried women and read the oath
10 them before enlistment.
Ga the whole, the men have
nothing to complain of in the
tactics of the Political Equality
Union of Chicago. The women are
straightforward, and have the
courage of their opinions, for it
must be supposed they know just
what they are talking about. Each
man has his chance to reflect upon
those opinions and decide whether
he wants to join the army. A great
many men don't think anything
about the subject, but it is a large
subject and one worth careful study.
The women will do a good work by
bringing it to the mems attention;
it might end in making the men as
