VOL 13, NO.48 EGROES, BARRIERS TO THEIR OWN PROGRESS. Their Own Greatest Stumbling Blocks in Tueir Pathway Towersd the Top. Ad Unnervished Truth. We are now near three weeks in the new year and new century, few doubtless have stopped to think now under the true reasons why greater grids are not made along all lines of progressiveness by the negroes. Our progress in the 19th century is considered by all, wonderful—but could it not have been quite different if the negro had in possession those qualities that other successful races possess. Hear we are to-day, stress of near 10,000,000, the most contemptible, envious, self-despising under the sun, so narrow, so small in our conception of one another that it is certainly remarkable that we have any record for advancement placed to our credit at all. The white man need not weary hims if about the "Negro Problem" until the negro has solvid it himself, because he and he alone can solve it, in a way too that will settle it for all time to come. Well does our contemporary, the Colorado Statesman, say that: The Negro is too apathetic and too nervous. He praises only Negroes who use in spite of him. He does not help his own to rise. Not until the white man stamps a Negro as a genius does the Negro recognize him as such, and then he gives him only his idle praise. We neither make or properly appreciate our own great men, and until we do, we must brag cautiously of race progress. The difficulty begins in our own doorstep, as the proverb teaches. The most urgent man in the community is the one whom we most oppose and distrust. The newspaper publisher, who digs and worries and sacrifices for our good, we consider a mere subscription beggar. The physician, the lawyer, the financier, we command to perform wonders before he may expect our encouraging support. We do not give adequate encouragement to race enterprises, to business speculations, to race journalism, race literature, race art, or race effort or genius of any kind. Upon the contrary, we must expect to chase, under-rate, and repudiate the best efforts that are made for us, until, perchance, they succeed in spite of us, and then we set the subjects up as shining race examples, to whose glory we have scarcely contributed iota. We may not claim that the Negro is unable to support and build up his own. There is scarcely a city or county in the Uniied States with a population over twenty thousand, where the Negro is not virtually supporting one or more white grocers, merchants, butchers, shoe dealers, milliers, doctors, lawyers, real estate speculators, dairymen, fuel dealers and white men in every other branch of trade and industry. We have the trade and create the demand, but burden our own best interests with a cruel prejudice against our own. This is a condition for the Twentieth century Negro to study. No other race of people represented in the genius real population owns such a despiseable and self-sacrificing trait. Without its removal we have no rightful claim upon the genius and success developed by the individual. FREEMEN FOR THE SLAVE COAST From the Saturday Evening Post. A new century's promise comes for Africa. For the slave coast a party of four young colored men recently started, and they will reach their destination and begin their work practically with the opening of the new century. They have not gone as missionaries; they have not gone as the organizers of some Utopian form of government; they have not gone as hunters or explorers. With ten bushels of cotton seed, with a cotton gin and with a variety of agricultural implements, they have gone as twentieth century advance agents of a new African prosperity. The scheme is not heralded as being one for the advantage of the colored race, although any one can see what great possibilities is in it along that line. It is merely announced without any undue display of confidence, that the venue is being made in order to open a new field for cotton growing. LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT! We are not in favor of the negro wreaking vengeance in an outlawy fashion, but we must say that for bearances ceases to be a virtue always. It would not be a very bad idea for the negroes right here to look a little out. General Geral recommended preparing for war in time of peace. Let's not be caught napping for we have some of the very same class of white people right here that was in the Leavenworth burning. THE d Best V IS NOT ONLY D EIR DEFE Best Weekl NOT ONLY DISGRACED DEFEATED Yet His Brilliance Shiness Forth What of the Future? Judge I. F. Bradley, our distinguished townsman, has returned from Topeka wiher he had gone to cast his vote as one of the recent elected Presidential Electors. The sanguine hopes of all of the negroes throughout the State were not realized, for he was defeated by A. W. Smith, another one of the Electors, for messenger to Washington, D. C., nevertheless he comes back to us the same Judge Bradley with malice toward none and a good will for all. Judge Bradley, as we have often repeated, stands as one of the recognized foremost race leaders in the State, and an old party wheel horse with unquestioned reliability. We have been looking over the field of out and out race men (believing that the faithfulness of negroes to the party should at some time be rewarded by other than appointed positions.) we hurl unauthorized broadcast to the winds the name of Judge I. F. Bradley for an elective position in our state. We believe that there still remains men of backbone, manhood and principle enough to accord the negro two years from now, at least, a representation on the State ticket. Now is our time, let the race come together united and laboring for this end and two years hence we will be in fit shape to ask and receive that which is but just to us as a race. The immense popularity of Judge Bradley throughout the State speaks volumes for the culmination of our efforts. We may be premature in our talk, but we conscientiously believe that he is a fit man to be brought forward at the proper time. Let us hear from the race throughout the state. Let's wake up—this is the 20th century, its time to get out of the ruts. WHAT THE CITIZEN WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

There are at this writing three avowed candidates for mayor and more to be heard from and a host of candidates for other minor offices. There seems to be a great deal of friction among the colored people as to whom they shall support for political preferment. All along the line, the old bugaboo of teacher domination is being used with some degree or detriment to their own intent by some of the would be politicians of the race, the result is almost certain to practically eliminate the Negro as a factor in city and county politics of this city and county.

It has gone down on record throughout the country that the officers in Leavenworth had wore hand in hand with the mob and yet Gov Stanley does not think the burning of a negro is sufficient to warrant him in offering a reward for the fiendist and brutal leaders. He has by his actions as Governor left it possible and the way clear for a repetition of this most heathen act. Well might a Kansas City daliy say—John Brown's body lies a moul dering in the tomb.

EDITORIAL PICKINGS. A DAMNABLE BLOT UPON THE STATE. The burning of Fred Alexander at Leavenworth on Tuesday evening brings forth the strongest condemnation from not only the state, but from the entire world, a state that has always borne a good name and stood as the highest ideal of representative states in the union, guilty of a crime more revolting than any Southern state in the Union Old Pitchfork Ben Tillman, from the turn of recent events, was undoubtedly right when he said that there was no difference in the north and south in the question of a "nigger." Kansas stands to-day with a record for lynching that many southern states has never "urpassed—a record of six lynchings and one burning in one year's time. Old John Brown and the Heroes that are gone, would never own this as their birth place were they among the living. Thin of a mob of three thousand within walking distance of a fort, within the shadow of the State Penitentiary, searcely thirty miles from the Capitol, with the legislature session, with published details of the preparations that were going on to lynch a negro scattered broadcast. Then the following out to a letter the details. The Sheriff as an advance agent for the mob, swore in a number of the members of the mob as deputies and a few newspaper men, secured the negro from the State penitentiary where he was safe, hand-cuffed him, and with the hand-cuffs on, thrust him into a cell which was so rotten that a man's feet was used for a battering ram. After the negro had been secured by the mob, kicked and best until nearly crazy. He was hauled through the principal streets to a place already prepared, and an oil wagon followed. (Before the mob secured Alexander it should be told that the Sheriff took pleasure in all the excitement to disarm every negro who it is said looked like he had a gun) arriving at the place prepared, the negro was chained to an iron post in the sight of many women and children, he was saurated with oil and burned—protesting his innocence to the last. The burning of Alexander in Leavenworth is a most solemn warning to the Negroes. all over the country to get together or stay apart and be exterminated—its the so called bad negross now they burn, but the good Neg oes time is coming if this+burning keeps on. STREET CAR MANNERS One who frequently uses the cars can not help from being forced to notice the want of tidiness which characterize many of our people. Nor is the untidiness the chief and only criticism, for the coarseness of their manners, and the absence in them, of any of the civilizing fruits which obtain among people of decent and respectable habit are conspicuously in evidence. Of course it can be implied that oftimes white people are in some direction, and we grant it. But this is here nor there: We are not justified at all in imitating the vices of white, but there is every reason and advantage should increasingly imitate the virtues of the dominant race. It does not pay to set the rowdy. There is no advantage in putting on exaltation in a street car the worst forms of real genuine "migger life." If others are wanting in the menaces of good breeding the we ought to teach them better by personal example. Especially should we honour womanhood and be ready to show courtesy and respect. Because a fellow pays a ride on the cars he is not all justifies to be a gentleman and with his working skills and peruses of fish or guano roughy person who is decently and respectfully habited for the street. It is noticeable in very many cases that while the poor laboring white men in returning home from work, very modesty and ousurely utune the rear platforms or holds on to the straps, colored men, too often, with anything but pleasing and acceptable persons, with um buckets and shabby working clothes, force themselves in a crowded car in the closest touch with members of the gentle sex. Liberty is not license, and no man is permitted to make a public nut-sanction of himself. If he desires the respect of others he must first respect himself. And no man can really respect himself who declines to act the part of a gentleman in public places including even street cars. ISN'T IT SO. What a blessing it is that this is a free country and, if a person does not want to wear shoes he is at liberty to go bare footed. —Ex The negroes in Kansas have found out that Governor Stanley is not the man of as much backbone as they thought. In his refusal to offer a reward for the capture or information that would lead to the capture and punishment of the ring leaders of the Leav nworth burning, he has not shown the backbone that many southern governors has shown on like occasions—they have been known to offer rewards, knowing that they would never be taken, yet they made an outside show, that was at least commendable. Governor Stanley who, on last Monday was installed on his second term as the Republican Governor of a now disgraced state, has now left many to come to conclusions which, if expressed, would not and many laurels to his crown as the Republican, Christian Governor of one of the greatest states in the Union. We believe, as every negro and law abiding citizen in the state and outside of the state for that matter, does that he should have at least made some kind of a move: after the affair, it he didn't see cause to move faster before the affair. The most damnable feature of the whole affair is that it was known to a certainty that the negro would be lynched, as high as three days before it actually occurred, and, after all, there are possibilities that vengeance was wreaked on the wrong negro. To show how our Governor stands we quote: DETROIT EVENING NEWS — "The strangest feature of the affair is the indignation of Gov. Stanley, who is so put out over the tragedy that he is almost tempted to offer a reward of $500 for the apprehension of the lynchers. For days the jail where Alexander was confined was surrounded by mobs, and the mobs grew in number, but the governor, instead of ordering a company of militia to defend the jail, ordered them to be in readiness for a call. The threat to investigate the conduct of the sheriff is a bit of silly subterfuge. Gov. Stanley, having the means at his command to make such a crime impossible, neglected to do his duty, and he must share the blame for the disgrace with the fetua. lynchers" TO THE SHERIFF. ST. Joseph Daily News—"Governor Stanley says that Sheriff Everhardy, of Leavenworth, is either a despicable scoundrel or a despicable coward. He has proved himself both knowing that the mob wanted the negro Alexander out of the Lansing penitentiary, because they were afraid to attack that institution, the sheriff made himself the tool of the mob by demanding the delivery of the prisoner, without awaiting the arrival of the troops the governor was willing to furnish. No one but a scoundrel of the lowest sort would have tried to take the prisoner away from the penitentiary under such circumstances, unless he was prepared to do bidiistry to the full extent of law. The death penalty should be restored, and the first man to be arrested, tried, convicted and hanged as an accessory to the most atrocious murder ever committed in the state of Kansas should be sheriff Everhardy who acted as the mob's agent in taking the prisoner from the penitentiary and then allowed him to be burned at the stake without firing a shot in his defense." It is reasonable to suppose that all kind of lies will be manufactured now by Leavenworth people in defense of their benign crime, yet the world has passed judgment, Fred. Alexander might have been a bad negro—but it is a long established rule that in a case of negro he is always bad. The white press, with but few exceptions, naturally make them the worst criminals on the face of the earth. DWELLING TOGETHER IN UNITY. In the Bermuda Islands there are 10,000 blacks and 5,000 whites, in the Barbados there are 117,000 blacks and 17,000 whites, and in Freetown, Sierra Leone, there are 80,000 blacks and about 5,000 whites, and yet there is no record of any instance where an innocent woman has been criminally assaulted, or a case of mmo violence. Can it be that the American negro, who sus'a'ss such an important and close relationship to his government, is lower and more vicious than the classes referred to? We are certain that it is not true with the better element of our race. Let the country put everybody to work and keep them employed on reasonable wages, and we will have less crime, and products enough to supply the whole American people, with a large surplus to export to our neighborhood countries.—The Metropolies. MADE A MAN OF HIM. Ten years ago, when the late John Sherman was secretary of state, a young man, the son of one of Sherman's schoolmates, wrote to him for assistance. He said that he had fallen so low in life that there was no place for him but the gutter; that existence had become a burden, and that he wanted to die. To-day this same young man is a prosperous merchant in New York City. He told Success that this position is due to the advice given him by John Sherman, in answer to his letter. Success was given permission to publish this letter, which the owner guards more carefully than all his other possessions. Mr. Sherman wrote: "You say that your life has been a failure, and that you are 30 years old, and ready to die. You say that you can not find work and that you see no hope in life. You say that your friends do not care to speak to you now." Let me tell you that you have reached that point in life when a man must see the very best prospects for his future career. You, at 30, stand on the bridge that divides youth and manhood. The one is dying, perhaps, but the other will soon burst, young and hopeful, from the ashes, and you will find in yourself a new being—a man. Do not let your discontent silk this new life, before it is born. Unless you are physically deformed, go to work. Go to work at any honest work, if it only brings you a dollar a day. Then learn to live within that dollar. Pay no more than ten cents for a meal, and twenty cents for a bed, and with the same intensity as you would save your mother's life. Make the most of your appearance. Do not dress gaudily, but cleanly. Abanden liquor as you would abandon a pestilence, for liquor is the curse that wrecks more lives than all the horrors of the world combined. If you are a man of brains, as youretter leads me to believe you are, waituntil you are in a condition to seek yourlevel, and then seek it with courageand tenacity. It may take time toreach it—you will turn from theworking man into the business man, or theprofessional man, with so muchcase that you will marvel at it. But haveone idea, and aim for it. No snup everreached its port by sailing for a dozenother ports at the same time. Be contented, for without contentment there is no love or friendship, and without those blessings life is, indeed, a hopeous case. Learn to love your books, for there is pleasure, instruction and friendship in books. Go to church, for the aunsh help to ease the pains of life. But never be a hypocrite; if you cannot believe in God, believe in your honor. Listen to music, whenever you can, for music cares the mind, and fills the mind with lofty ideals. Cheer up! Never want to die. Why, I am twice your age, and over, and I do not want to die. Get out into the world. Work, eat, sleep, read and talk about the great events of the day, even if you are forced to go among the laborers. Take the first honest work you get, and then be steady, patient, industrious, gentle, loving, strong, honest, courageous and contented. Be all these, and when 30 years more have passed away, just notice how young and beautiful the word is, and how young and happy you are!—donn Suhrman. THE NEW CENTURY. As a race will meet the century prepared to wrestle with its many complex problems. All the old methods of the dying century will not apply to the changed condition of the new. The people of this century must learn that the old negro, dwarfed and hindered by the depressing effects of slavery has died with the old century and that a new negro trained, strengthened and equipped by the fierce contents of the past, raises to take his place. A dead past must no longer fatter him but he must take his place in the march of progress. morally, financially and religiously prepared for the contests which await him. We are able to look into the new century with greater confidence and with greater race pride than was our lot in the beginning of the century for we now have the record of achievements behind us and the promises of greater possibilities a head of us. It is to be earnestly up to th we will fully measure up to the great responsibilities which the new century will thrust upon us.—Ex. American Citizen.

Is Taken From Jail and Burned at the Stake-- The Body Saturated with Kerosene as the Match is Applied--Accused of Killing Pearl Forbes and Assaulting Other Girls -Governor Talks. At Leavenworth, Kan., a mob composed of several hundred men broke into the county jail about 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and took Koe Alexander, a negro charged with the murder of Pearl Forbes and an assault upon Miss Eva May Roth, from his cell, poured kerosene over his body, chained him to an iron post and burned him. The match which put an end to the miserable creature's life was applied by William G Forbes, the father of the murdered girl. The negro was burned in the sight of 5,000 people, on the spot where the body of Pearl Forbes was found on the night of last election day. The active members of the mob were the young men of Leavenworth, who considered the measure necessary for the future protection of their sisters, wives and sweethearts. Before the quick fire which stilled the negro's heart had died out men but the shriveled hands and ears of the victim away, wrapped them in paper and caried them home as mementoes of the terrible scene. Women and children who were in the great multitude which stood around the stake to which the negro was chained and roasted, a'most fought with each other for fragments of the boards which the fire left unconsumed. After the men comprising the mob had secured the prisoner by battering down the jail doors, they took him to the ravine at Lawrence avenue and Olive streets, where the body of Pearl Forbes was found by her parents. Alexander's own home was not two squares distant from the spot. His mother and sister live there and he lived there until arrested a short time ago. The house stands on an eminence, and Alexander, with the flames sucking his life's breath away, could lift up his eyes from the horror and torture and look upon the roof which sheltered his mother. The mother, from her window, could see her son, wrapped in the shroud of fire, which was gnawing the flesh from his bones. The men who had the work in hand acted quickly. They brought a piece of railroad iron from the Santa Fe tracks, which run near the spot, drove it into the ground and chained the negro to it. Then pine boards were carried from a pile of scrap lumber beside the street and piled around his feet. An oil tank wagon belonging to the Standard Oil company stood at the top of the hill near Lawrence avenue, the driver being down in the crowd. Some one drew a bucket of kerosene from the wagon and came running toward the negro. William G. Forbes, father of the murdered girl, approached Alexander and asked him to confess. Alexander replied: "People, you are killing the wrong man. Some day you'll run up against the right man, the man who killed the girl." Before the words were fairly out of his mouth the man with the kerosene dashed it over the negro's body. Some one struck a match and handed it to Forbes. He applied it to the saturated boards at the negro's feet, a pillar of flame shot upward, and a shout from the people drowned the agonized shriek of the man at the stake. For a moment all was silence, save the hissing and crackling of the flames, and the wind roiled away a great black cloud of smoke, tainted with the smell of kerosene and burning flesh. It appeared to be a preconcerted affair, the burning of Alexander. At no time after he was taken from the jail was a gun, pistol or rope seen, and neither hanging nor shooting was suggested. Two of the most active persons in the work of trying the negro and arranging the wood about his feet were the brothers of the Misses Roth and Forbes. The negro must have died almost instantly, as no sound escaped him after the first terrified cry which mingled with the great triumphant shout of the multitude. The fire burned for three hours. The spectacle was fearful in the extreme, yet as the fire died down more cordwood was applied. It was found when too late, that the prisoner had been suspended too high, so that at 7 o'clock, when he had been roasted for two hours, the head and shoulders Thomas Patterson Elected. Thomas M.

Quay, regular Republican nominee for United States senator, was elected by the Pennsylvania legislature to fill the vacancy created by the expiration of his term on March 4, 1899. His combined vote in the senate and house was 130, or three more than the number necessary to a choce. Lead Penell Faber 14 Dead. Johann Faber, founder of the Faber lead pencil factory, is dead. were only charred. But the rest of the body was consumed. After Alexander had been dead for half an hour his mother and sisters appeared. As the mother caught sight of the body with the flames playing around it, she uttered a piercing scream, and wailed out to the crowd that her boy was innocent. The two sisters wailed and moaned, but their cries were answered with jeers. At 9 o'clock Coroner Koohler and two police officers went out in the patrol wagon and unbound the chains that held the blackened corpse to the iron rail. The fire had been allowed to die out almost and the body was no longer burning. The body was loaded into the wagon and taken to the morgue and placed in a coffin. It was a horrible sight. White in the court of the jail Alexander confessed to the assault on Miss Roth as well as other girls, it denied having killed Miss Forbes. Fred Alexander was charged by the Leavenworth police with thirteen separate crimes, all of the nature for which negroes have been burned from time to time. Governor Stanley Indignant. Governor Stanley is very indignant at the result of the lynching at Leavenworth. He says it will result in the reservation of the death penalty in Kansas, as it should do. Governor Stanley condemns Sheriff Everhardy, of Leavenworth, in unmeasured terms, and says suitable retribution should be visited upon him. "The sheriff of Leavenworth is either a despicable scoundrel or a despicable coward," said the governor. "There was no reason in the world that the negro should not have been protected to the last. The whole military power of the state would have been devoted to that effort, and the sheriff knew it all the time. I ordered the militia, of Lawrence and Topeka, to be ready and they would have been sent to the scene of this trouble the minute the sheriff would say he needed them. "Instead of that, however, the sheriff was very sure that he could guard the man. Upon receiving repeated assurances from Sheriff Everhardy that he could and would protect the prisoner to the last, I very reluctantly countermanded the order for the troops to go to Leavenworth. "The warden of the penitentiary had no right to keep Alexander there, as he had been convicted of no crime. He could do nothing else than deliver him to the sheriff when that individual insisted that it should be done. But the life of the negro should have been preserved at all hazards, and it is to the lasting shame of the great state of Kansas that such an infamous proceeding should have been allowed to take place, within a few miles of the capital city. It is awful, simply awful. Things like this have happened in the south many times, but they do not seem so horrible there as they do here, where nothing of the 'kind has ever been thought of. When oce currences like this happen right here in our own state, it brings us face to face with the fact that something must be done. "The death penalty must be restored in Kansas and then things of this kind will not happen. I am going to do all I can to restore the death penalty and I think this awful happening will bring the legislators to the same opinion. "I shall offer a reward of $500 for the arrest of any person or persons who participated in the burning. I am sorry I cannot offer a larger sum but the law makes that the limit. I shall order the attorney general to investigate the affair and if he finds that the sheriff did not do his whole duty in the defense of the prisoner to commence a proceeding to oust him from office." APPOINTMENTS RECALLED. Governor Dockery's First Communication to the Missouri Senate. The first communication of Governor Dockery to the Missouri senate was a message requesting the withdrawal of the late appointments made by ex-Governor Stephens.

This latter action was taken upon the express order of the Kansas supreme court. The first under-sea telephone is to be put down between Florida and Cuba for the United States government. PASSES HOUSE. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL CARRIES $60,000,000. $300,000 FOR THE MISSOURI RIVER. The Landowners, However, May Bulk Dykes and Dams—Credit For Obtaining This Concession Belongs to Representative Dougherty of the Third Missouri District. The river and harbor appropriation bill has passed the house. The bill passed practically as it came from the committee. It carries slightly less than $60,000,000, of which $23,000,000 is in direct appropriations. The friends of the Missouri river improvement, although they were unsuccessful in securing what they desired, [persuaded Chairman Burton to offer an amendment to permit owners of property abutting on the Missouri to build dykes and wingdams for protection where such structures do not interfere with the navigation of the stream. The section empowering the president to negotiate with Great Britain for the maintenance of suitable levels on the Great lakes was broadened so as to provide for a joint commission to conduct the negotiations. Mr. Hepburn, speaking of the desirability of protecting the banks of the Missouri, adduced some figures to show that not much more than $1,000,000 of the $7,000,000 appropriated for the Mississippi would be used in dredging the channel of the river. The remainder, he said, would be used for the protection of the banks of the Mississippi. If this were true, he asked, why should not part of the $300,000 appropriation for the Missouri be employed for a similar purpose. Mr. Burton's substitute was adopted and the Henburn amendment lost. To Representative Dougherty, of Missouri, belongs the credit of being the only member who was able to make an impression on the committee on rivers and harbors in the form of an amendment. Mr. Dougherty made a vigorous speech in offering his amendment providing for the co-operation of private land owners with the government in protecting the banks of the Missouri river. This amendment forms the basis of a substitute which was offered by Chairman Burton, of the rivers and harbors committee, accepting this co-operation and placing at the disposal of such private property owners as furnish material for the protection of the river the use of government barges and other conveniences. BODY FOUND IN A TRUNK. Salesman for Jewelry House Killed in Hurricane Way for His Wares. The body of a man with his throat cut from ear to ear and showing other marks of violence was found in a trunk on a pile of skids at the bulkhead of pier 11, East river, New York. It was identified two hours later by a woman as the body of Michael Weissberger, or Weissberg, an east side Hebrew, who was employed by a jewelry firm to sell jewelry on the installment plan. The name of the woman who identified the body and the address at which the victim of the murder had resided, Captain Titus, head of the detective bureau, refused to disclose. Captain Titus declared that the motive for the crime was robbery, and intimated that at least two men were concerned in the murder. STANLEY WILL DO NOTHING. Will Not Issue Orders for Arrest of Leavenworth Mob Leaders. Governor Stanley decided that he would not issue an offer of a reward for the arrest of the perpetrators of the negro burning at Leavenworth. "It would be absolutely no use to issue the offer," said the governor. "If the guilty parties were arrested they would necessarily have to undergo the first trial in Leavenworth county, and on account of the present condition of public sentiment there it would be absolutely useless to attempt to prosecute anybody there for the crime." The governor had decided at first that he would offer the reward, but deliberation on the subject induced him to change his mind. CASHIFR KILLS HIMSELE Bank Wrecker Whose Shortage Is Discovered Takes His Own Life. The State bank of Wathena, Kansas, has been wrecked by the cashier, Jacob F. Harpster Harpster killed himself by blowing out his brains with a revolver. Harpster was 39 years old, and had been the foremost business man of the town for ten years, or about the time he became cashier of the bank. He used the bank's money in dealing in mining stock. Grip Caused Insanity At Wichita, Kan., John Asherft, age 63, is a raving maniac as the result of grip. The unfortunate man was arrested by the sheriff and tried for his sanity. He is now manacled and chained to the bars of his cell in the county jail. The cell he oecipies is the same one from which Mrs. Nation was released. One of his delusions is that he is over 800 years old and worth $7,000,000. He was taken sick with grip about ten days ago and immaculately displayed signs of insanity. Henderson Glyes a Library President Benton, of the Upper Iowa university, has received a gift of $25,000 from Colonel D. B.

New York Teller $12,000 Short. J. Prevost Mason, third teller of the Continental bank of New York, is in jail charged with embezzlement. The shortage amounts to $12,000 in all. CONDEMNED BY LEGISLATURE Strong Resolutions Against the Leavenworth Mob's Action. Both houses of the Kansas legislature unanimously adopted the following resolutions regarding the Leavenworth burning and lynching of the negro Fred Alexander: "Whereas, the startling information of a reliable character has reached the legislature and the general public that yesterday in the city of Leavenworth, a colored citizen of our state, charged with a crime, was unlawfully taken from the jail by a mob, out of protection and when in the custody of the legal authorities of Leavenworth county, and without trial or sanction of law, and in violation of every principle of humanity and good citizenship, was lashed to a stake and, in a friendish, inhuman and barbaric manner, burned to death; therefore, be it "Resolved by the senate, the house of repressen atives concurring therein, That we deprecate, deplore and condemn the execution of this man in this summary manner without a fair and impartial trial at the bar of justice; and be it further "Resolved, That we commend the course of Governor W. E. Stanley by having promptly placed at the disposal of the local authorities of Leavenworth county for the protection of this man and the dignity of the state two companies of state militia, which were never called for by the authorities of said county, and "Resolved, Further, that we favor the most rigid investigation of all the facts and circumstances attending this crime, and on behalf of law-abiding citizenship ask and demand that the perpetration of this monstrous proceeding shall be punished to the full extent of the law." MILLIONS IN BLACKMAIL New York Political Bosses Collect from Criminals and Divide A sensation was caused in New York by the publication of a story to the effect that a confession had been made by a wealthy gambler to W. M. K. Olcott, ex-district attorney, regarding the payment of blackmail to politicians who control New York city. His confession shows that the gambling interests pay $3,800,000 annually, and that a sum equally as large is collected from other sources. Three hundred gambling houses pay annually, $1,200,000; 300 pool rooms pay annually, $1,200,000; the policy shops pay annually $400,000; the dis riderly resorts pay annually $1,400,000, and other forms of vice and crime pay annually $1,400,000. The immense sum is divided among fourteen men. These fourteen men compose what is known as the "gambling commission." The blackmail is divided into twenty-eight parts, of which four parts go to one man, a great political leader, the balance going to the remander, according to their political strength. It is said that this man furnished proofs of his allegations and that further proofs will be forthcoming if desired. W. I BRYAN'S PAPER.

They May Be Enumerated on the Fingers of the Hands—Why Were They Great?—Cyrus, the First in the List—His Characteristics. (Special Letter.) Among the names that Time has not effaced from the annals of history but few are followed with the title "The Great." They can be enumerated on the fingers of the hands—Cyrus, Alexander, Charles, Alfred, Louis XIV., Peter and Frederick. Cyrus the Great. Of these great characters Cyrus was the first to appear. He was born about 599 B. C., and was the son of Cambysse, King of Persia, and his mother was Mandane, daughter of Astyages, King of the Medes. This Astyages is known in the Scriptures as Ahasuerus. At this time the Persians were divided into twelve tribes and inhabited only one province of the vast country which has since borne the name of Persia, and they numbered less than 120,000. Through the valor and prudence of Cyrus this small province became the great Persian empire and the Persian population reached the millions, Cyrus was of fine appearance, possessed noble qualities of mind, a gentle disposition, was full of good nature and humanity and had a great desire for learning. He was never afraid of any danger, or discouraged by any hardship or difficulty. He was brought up according to the laws and customs of the Persians, which were excellent in those days in respect to education. The training of children was looked upon as the most important duty and the most essential part of government. Boys were brought up in common and everything was regulated by law for them—the place and length of their exercises, the times of eating, the quality if their meat and drink, and their different kinds of punishment. Modest and Temperate. All through his life he was noted for his modesty and temperate habits. Pride, luxury and magnificence reigned around him whenever he went beyond the confines of the Persian province, but never did they in any way contaminate him. He always followed the simple, frugal life of his youthful days. Wherever he went his modest but noble bearing, his affable manners and his generosity procured him general love and esteem. His desire to be just led him to be looked upon as the great arbiter of all serious disputes. During his career of conquest, although a stern disciplinarian and often appearing cruel and tyrannical, he was usually just and generous to his followers as well as the peoples he vanquished. He sought to make allies rather than enemies of those he conquered, and in this aim he was highly successful. Many provinces surrendered to him without resistance, when their THE TOMB OF CYRUS. rulers learned of generous treatment, and others sought alliance with so just and powerful a king. In most conquerors courage, resolution, intrepidity, a capacity for martial exploits, and such talents as make a noise in the world are usually the only ones found. Combined with these characteristics Cyrus had an inward stock of goodness, compassion and gentleness toward the unhappy; an air of moderation and reserve even in prosperity and victory; an insinuating and persuasive behavior, the art of gaining people's hearts and attaching them to him more by affection than interest; a constant and unalterable care to always have justice on his side and to imprint such a character of justice and equity upon all his conduct as his very enemies were forced to revere. In the exercise of clemency he seemed able to distinguish those who offended through imprudence rather than malice and always left room for their repentance by giving them an opportunity to return to their duty. The Fall of Babylon. Before he was 30 Cyrus was at the head of the Persian troops, and from that time until he ascended the throne of Persia he was engaged in many wars of conquest, all of which proved successful and added wealth, glory, strength and territory to the empire which he was founding and over which he was to rule. His greatest military achievement was in capturing the rich, populous and strongly fortified city of Babylon. Two hundred years before Cyrus was born the prophet Isaiah foreteld the fall of Babylon and even named its conqueror, Cyrus. With a great army of Medes and Persians Cyrus laid siege to the city, but its strong wall resisted the most furious and persistent assaults. For two years the contest continued. Then Cyrus resorted to one of the greatest feats of strategy recorded in the history of warfare. The Euphrates river flowed through the city. Cyrus determined to turn the course of the stream and through the bed of the channel rush his troops under the walls and into the city. When the artificial channel had been cut, he waited until a night when he knew the Babylonians would be engaged in a general feast. Then he diverted the stream, his selected soldiers rushed into the doomed city through the drained channel, killed the unsuspecting guards and opened the massive gates to allow the entire Persian forces to enter. The Babylonians resisted desperately but were overpowered and the city became tributary to the Persian empire. Its King, Be'shazzar, was killed early in the conflict. The handwriting on the wall had been portentous. Death of Cyrus. Cyrus reigned until 529 B. C., when he died. Historians differ as to his manner of death, but according to Xenophon, the Greek historian he died a natural death, surrounded by his family and loved and esteemed by all his subjects. Up to the fatal sickness he enjoyed vigorous health, due to his temperate life. Another version of his death is that he was killed while engaged in a battle with the Massagetae, a nation in the north of Asia, the soldiers of whom were led by their Queen, Tomyris. She caused the head of Cyrus to be cut off and plunged into a leather bag filled with human blood, saying, "Though I am alive and have conquered you, yet you have undone me by taking my son. I will however, satiate you with blood." This speech shows the estimate of the character of the conqueror, whose work is the same in all ages—the shedding of human blood. The Inscription on His Tomb. The tomb of Cyrus was at Pasargadae, near Persepolis. Here, 200 years later, Alexander came, the next character in history to be immortalized with the title, "The Great." He ordered the tomb to be opened, expecting to find great treasures; but a rotten shield, two Scythian bows and a Persian cimeter were the only riches. Within the sepulchre was this inscription: "O man, whoever thou art and whenceover thou comest, I am Cyrus, the founder of the Persian empire; envy me not the little earth that covers my body." Thus it will be seen that this great man, wise, moderate, courageous, magnanimous, noble and daring, feared, as men now fear, the envy of the world and begged to be left alone with the small piece of earth occupied by his remains. Surely, death has no respect for greatness. ENGAGEMENT RINGS Actress Used One from Finger *et* an Egyptian Mummy. In choosing engagement rings for their fiancees lovers at times discard the conventional jeweled circlet in favor of the bizarre, fantastic and even grewsome. Not long since, says Tit-Bits, out of a portion of a horseshoe that he had found, a young man had a ring made, which he gave to the lady of his choice on the day of their betrothal. The remainder of the horseshoe was utilized in the manufacture of a brooch and earrings. Another iron ring, which a short while since was accepted by a young girl as a token of her lover's constancy, was a section cut from the barrel of a pistol which many years back had played an unenviable part in a family tragedy. The seion of a wealthy family, whose fortunes owed their existence to extensive tobacco plantations, had a ring made out of the fragrant wine, hardened by some process to the consistency of metal, with which to encircle the finger of his imamorata. A single diamond gave relief to the amulet's soubure hue. Opals, formerly considered so ill-omened, are now not infrequently employed in the setting of engagement rings. One gentleman, a native of Manchester, went, indeed, to an almost extreme length in his probation of superstition, the ring which he gave to the lady he has now married being a hoop of thirteen opais, the former possessor of each of which had met with some serious misfortune. The engagement ring chosen by a well known actress had once decked the finger of an Egyptian mummy. Disdaining the everyday gewgaw with its vulgar glint of gems, she set her fancy upon this strangely discolored stone, which had nothing to recommend it but its unconventionality and age. ABOUT GRAY HAIR. No Longer Regarded with Horror by Aging Persons. Gray hair is no longer regarded with horror, even by persons who have reached the age that entitles them to it. Such people were always more apt to be worried over the change than persons prematurely gray, who might be expected to mourn the premature loss of the characteristic of youth. Now people need give this sign of advancing years no thought, for it has been decreed that gray hair is the fashion. Ada Rehan was the first woman in public life, it is said, to allow her hair to turn gray without making the slightest attempt to conceal what is commonly regarded in a stage career that the end has come, or is at all events past. Other actresses have since accustomed the public to the idea of gray-headed heroines. Miss Rehan, of course, always wore a wig on the stage, but Eleanora Duse plays Camille without the least attempt to conceal the fact that her hair has grown so gray as to give her scenes with Armand a slightly maternal suggestion. Signora Duse has carried naturalness on the stage further than any other actress ever did, but its last point must be her refusal to act such a role with a wig, and her course in presenting the rather curious spectacle of a young lover driven to such impassioned love-making by a very obviously gray-haired woman. Such cases have undoubtedly happened, but they are exceptional, so Signora Duse is probably entitled to more credit as the creator of a new fashion than as an observer of theatrical proprieties. Americans Keeping the Lead American railway keeping the Lead. British railway manufacturers are indignant at the manner in which they have lost the contracts for rebuilding the south African railways. It seems that America has ousted the British contractors. Major Gironard, an American, who has absolute charge of the reconstruction and direction of the Transvaal railways, is responsible for this, seeing that he has invited American firms only to submit estimates, ets, for the work. It was American firms also who supplied most of the material for the Soudan railway, which was also under the direction of Major Gironard, and built the Atbara bridge. Wealthblest Americans Per Capita. The claim is made for South Dakota that it has for the third consecutive year produced more wealth per capita than any other state in the Union, the total for this year being $106,500,000. Of this sum $27,000,000 comes from live stock $18,000,000 from corn, $15,000,000 from wheat and $12,000,000 from m'-ne- cels. Lord Curzon, thanking the Lord Provost of Glasgow for the £55,000 contributed by the citizens of Glasgow to the Indian Famine Fund, writes that the sum exceeded all others, excluding the Lord Mayor of London's Fund. American Agriculturalist's New Edition Professor W. G. Johnson, state ontologist, located at the Maryland Agricultural College, has resigned to become editor of the American Agriculturist. London's Chief Magistrate The city of London invests its chief magistrate with the most extraordinary powers and prerogatives. He is not only chief criminal and civil judge of the city, but likewise generalissimo of the city militia and admiral of the port of London. But before entering upon his twelve months' term of office it compels him to sign a bond of $1,000,000 for the safekeeping of the jewish forming part of his insignia of office. Gypsy's Influence Over Queen. The king of Spain has not yet been able to show either his taste or his pluck in riding, for his mother is so nervous about it that she did not even like to see him getting too bold on his wooden horse. The hour of the riding lesson on the real thing is always one of anxiety for the regent. They say that this fear comes from a prediction which was once made to her by a gypsy. Few Divorces in Canada: Statistics are said to show that in the past thirty-two years only 271 divorces have been granted in Canada. It is not easy to sever the conjugal tie across the border. Parliament passes on most divorce cases and petitioners do not care to face the solemn proceedings. LIEUT. MABEL C. HUNT. Ogden, Utah, Jan. 12, 1901.—(Special.)—The Pacific Coast Division of the Salvation Army, whose noble work in the interests of fallen humanity has done so much for this western country, has its headquarters in this city. One of the brightest and most enthusiastic workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice Hunt. Everyone knows how these devoted people parade the streets day on night, exposing themselves to all kinds of weather, that no opportunity may be lost of rescuing some poor unfortunate from sin and suffering. In some cases, their recklessness in thus exposing themselves has been commented upon as almost suicidal. Their answer to such criticisms invariably is their unfailing faith in the Divine injunction to "do right and fear not." Lieut. Hunt explains one of the means she employs to keep her "Soldiers" in good health, as follows: "I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of great value in cases of Kidney and Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted from severe colds. Several of our lads and lassies have been repeatedly exposed to cold weather and rain, and have spoken for hours out of doors, often with wet feet and chilled to the marrow. As a consequence of this exposure, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheumatism and Kidney Disorders often enuse. In such cases I always advise Dodd's Kidney Pills, for I have noticed better results, quicker relief, and more lasting benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases than from all other medicines I know of combined. They cleanse the blood, regulate the system and destroy disease." A medicine which can do what Lieut. Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney Pills do is surely worth the attention of all who suffer with any form of Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism, or Blood Disorders. Success comes from not making the same mistake twice. Trees grow out of doors and doors are made out of trees. Cold Agony Pain intensified by cold is unbearable. Neuralgia in winter must seek St. Jacobs Oil for the surest relief and promptest cure.
