LOST ARMS IN ACCIDENT.
OtegO Man Can Use Artificial Arm
for Writing.

Otego, Kan, Feb. 17.-Three years
ago Earl Cole of this place lost both
arms in a corn shelter accident. Both
were taken off near the shoulder. but
enough was left for the attachment of
an artificial arm. Cole can feed him
self and can write a fairly good hand
with the new arm.
At the time of the accident Cole was
engaged to a local girl, and notwith-
standing the outlook they were mar
ried shortly after Cole recovered. For
a time after losing his arms Cole was
as helpless as a baby, and his wife
was forced to care for him and as
sumo all responsibility of the house
hold.
The county commissioners voted
Cole a pension of $50 a month and he
has drawn this money from the
county since he was injured. A move
ment is now on foot to give him a
clerical position in some county office,
as he can use his new arm efficiently
enough to hold a clerkship.

tried the experiment of raising onions,

being claimed that Rocks county was
too far west and too dry for anything
of the sort. But he stayed with it

southeast, and the distance was esti-
mated at 1850 miles.
Professor Hester said the seat of
the disturbance probably was IN the
northern region of South America,
which would make it in the Panama

The house bill to allow women to
vote at all elections and for all officers
but presidential electors was taken up
and discussed AS Mr.. Stephens said
it was opposed by the lawyers and
supported by the theologians.
Messrs. Rice of Bourbon. Douglas,
Showalter and Brown of Harvey,
Reeder and other Republicans believe
the bill to be unconstitutional
Brown of Harvey said, however,
that he would vote for the bill be-
cause he believed that eff the Kansas
ladies knew that the legislature want
ed them to vote it would settle the
question with them-they would never
want to vote
Several members favored an amend
ment to the constitution covering this
subject. Several voted mo- fearing
that if the bill passed it would invali-
date the results of the next election.
Mr.. Nicely was instructed by his wife
and daughter to vote against the bill.
He followed his instructions. The bill
received 60 votes, which is not con-
stitutional majority, so the chairman
announced that it had not passed.
There is a prospect for reconsideration
as the bill had been recommended for
passage in a committee of the whole.

Here's a Better Way for
the Giving of Blood
To Save Ones Country

Those people who fear for the back
bone Of American manhood if war is
abolished and say that if we do not
raise our boy TO be soldier" he will be
a mollycoddle, are like the spinster in
the story. She became hystericaP over the
thought that If she had married and had
child, she might some time have made
the hideous mistake Of putting the baby
in the oven in place Of the little pig.
Unfortunately war is not likely to be
abolished until men and women have
evolved from the ideas of barbarism into
those of humanity, and until the choice
at least, of whether or not there shall be
war and whether or not they will do the
fighting. is theirs.
A different kind Of couEge which has
for its object the SAVING, not taking.
Of life, is being shown in New York at
the present time by scores Of men from
all walks of life, who are feeling the tug
at their heart strings Of the hideous fate
which has overtaken the little children Of
that city.
These men are not necessarily fathers,
and they are often earning their daily
bread in the humber ranks Of life. but
they are voluntarily going To the hospi.
tails. laying themselves down on a sur.
gson's table and allowing their blood 70
be drawn from their arms in the hope
that the serum made therefrom may
prove q cure for the suffering babies.
This is not matter of life and deatl
TO the men. II is not extreme suffering
but IL requires courage and bespeaks q
love Of humanity deserving of praise.
There will be no roll Of honor, a,
stripes or iron crosses of decoration; M
one win ever know their names, but thss
are ~ truly giving their blood TO save
their country as are those on the battle
6slds of Europe.
