PUBLICATION NOTICE In The Court of Common PleaS of Wy- mandotte County Kansas. Mac Whitsett ..... Plaintiff vs. The can shooters union should take up collection to get a lamp as the head farters is dark. A. J. Dosier is building up a spendid business at his barber shop 417 minnosta avenue, A Royal Scientist. The Prince of Monaco, who was prevented by a motor cycle accident from delivering his lecture at the Royal Institution of London, is perhaps the first of living oceanographers. When the British Association last met in Edinburgh the royal scientist drew large audiences to hear his accounts of his experiments upon the routes followed by the waters of oceans themselves, as distinguished from the voyagers upon them. The gambler at Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve science. Rev. Francis D. McShane, one of the Dominican fathers connected with the St. Mary's church in New Haven, has just completed arrangements with the officials of Yale university by which he is to become a member of the senior academy class for 1904. He will begin his studies with the seniors next fall for the degree of bachelor of arts. This is the first instance of a Catholic priest with a parish appointment entering Yale for a degree or for study of any kind. (reluctant Negro North and South Clark Howell the editor of The Atlanta Constitution calls the attention of the American people to the fact that the Negro has a better chance in the South than he has in the North, and this statement is in harmony with the declaration of Lawyer Durham, a Negro member the Philadelphia bar who is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and at once a minister at San Domingo, both the editor and lawyer agree as to the reason for their belief, It ites in the fact, that the Negro Artisan in the North has no chance to work at his chosen occupation for the reason that white men will not work beside him as a bricklayer carpenter, mason smith nor will the all powerful unions admit him to membership. In the south the conditions are different. There all sorts or manual labor are regarded as mental aid the white man who engage in them have no social standing. It naturally follows therefore that the greater part of the work fallsup as the Negroes. In slavery times they were taught trades and many of them became skilled in various crafts, which they were encouraged to follow. The graduates of the industrial schools find no difficulty, therefore in securing gainful employment in the south and industrious and skillful labor in that section is encouraged and valued at its true worth Negroes thus equipped does not come forth for the reason they could not find work here and also because they are well off at home. The northern cities and manufacturing communities get from the south mainly inefficient and vicious members of the Negro race: those whose conduct makes them suspected and watched at home or whose laziness and stiffness makes it undesirable for them to remain longer in the community where they have been brought up. In view of these facts any scheme of emigration with government assistance, such as is proposed by some of the Negro leaders, would be harmful both to the country and to the Negro. Experience in the West Indies shows that the Negro does not successfully govern himself, and the results in Liberia are not on the whole encouraging. To deport to Africa the industrious blacks of the south would be a serious loss to that section, and send away the enficient and the vicious would be a great wrong to the country where they might be sent. What is better than emigration is the encouragement and appreciation of the industries and skillful of the race here at home and the providing of work houses for the lazy and with such restraint as would keep them allways powerless to molest society till they are reformed or dead.

I refer to the line in an article headed 'A Naval Battle,' in which I am referred to as the 'late W. S. Gilbert.'

Gordon who is now Pastor of second Baptist church at Newton Kans, made our office a pleasant call mon- day. At the same time it is clear that no pre-veious metting has been so largely attended as will be the coming Nashville one. Delegates from all parts of the county are taking advantages of the liberal arrangements offered by the Pullman Company and are arrainging for special Pullman coaches. Nashville offers many attractions aside from the splendid program which will be reended and a trip will well pay any one who is interested in the work which the Business League is seeking to do. Delegates should be sure in purchasing tickets to ask for a certificate to intitle him to one third return fare. Mr. R. L. Mayfield, 411 N. Cherry St. Nashville, Teen., is the Secretary of the local committee in charge of the arrangements for the meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held Aug., 19th 20th and 21st. Mr. Mafield is especially anxious that notice be given him of intened presence of delegates that he might properly prepare for them. No city has made more extensive preparations for the League meetings than have been made by the local Nashville committee. like. Whenever a new typewriter girl is employed in one of the departments she names the machine and it is purchased for her. AN ABSENT MINDED ARTIST. Remarkable Act of Aberration Credited to Edward L. Henry. Edward L. Henry, the Academician, is considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an invertebrate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's trouser legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Time of Stopping a Train. At a recent convention of airbrake men an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds took exactly half a mile to bring it to a stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were these: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; sixty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy-five miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet. WORKING FOR UNCLE SAM. Typewriter Girls Have an Easy Time at Washington. From 8 o'clock in the morning until close to 6 in the evening there are 5,000 typewriters grinding out letters for the United States government. During these hours there are, of course, 5,000 typewriter girls busily hammering the machines. Uncle Sam is the largest employer of typists in the country and should be the patron saint of the typewriter girl. The amount of manuscript his workers turn out would make even Clyde Fitch look dizzy. Uncle Sam is the nicest kind of a man for typewriter girls to work for. He pays large salaries and he supplies n's workers with everything they want. If a girl expresses a preference for a certain kind of machine she gets it. She does not have to sit down and try to pound a typewriter she does not Happenings of our city. Services at the Metropolitan church Sunday the pastor Rev, E. A.

To have their clothes washed or or not washed by Negroes seems to be a burning question in some parts of Georgia. If our white friends think that the Negro has learned nothing in the past forty years they are very much mistaken. The ant-belum Negro has gone and will never come back. It is both foolish and absurd to expect. The preliminary hearing of the Rev. Hison who shot his wife in a confectionery store on north 3rd street about two weeks ago, was contended to next Tuesday.

CHICAGO.—(Special.)—Annie Oakley, daughter-in-law of "Buffalo Bill" and a famous rifle shot, is at the Harrison street station under sentence for stealing the trousers of a negro in order to get money with which to buy cocaine. When arrested Saturday on the complaint of Charles Curtis, a negro, she was living at 140 Sherman street. She gave the name of Elizabeth Cody, but it occurred to no one to connect her with Colonel Cody's famous daughter-in-law. Yesterday, however, when brought before Justice Caverly, she admitted her guilt, and begged the court to have pity on her. The striking beauty of the woman whom the crowds at the World's fair admired is now entirely gone. Although she is but 28 years old, she looks 40.

Langley's preparations for sailing his airship were interrupted by a storm, there will probably be little delay in the flight of the machine, and the problem of sailing the air may be solved within a week. During the heavy blow Prof. Langley's house boat was torn from its anchorage and carried along by the wind and a swift floodtide and was Art Cutler, Jake Simson, H. E. Williams, E.

He followed this up with ten shots, hitting one or several persons each time. It seems that he fired alternately from one corner to the other with an occasional shot at the center of the street where the band stand stood. Inside of ten minutes and before the crowd could entirely disperse, he had felled the above number of victims. He chose an alleyway as his firing ground, where there were the fewest people, but the only natural point to cover the crowd with safety to himself. Here he would sally forth from the alley, discharge two loads of buckshot at the crowd and retire to reload. In each instance he used military tactics, dropping on his knees to fire, and beating a hasty retreat afterward. In this way he deceived the people so that his exact whereabouts were unknown. The funeral of Roy C. Davis was held from the Presbyterian church Friday. The body of Billiter, the barber, was shipped to Milan and Bowman's to Oxford.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y.—(Special.) The discussion of mob law and lynchings were continued here Friday by Chief Justice Loree of Delaware. His subject was "The Relation of Law to the Manifestation of the Mob Spirit." He said in part: "Mob law is anarchy pure and simple, anarchy is the rock upon which all ancient republics have ultimately been wrecked, and is to-day one of the most threatening evils of our republics. "Mob law saps the moral fiber of every participant in the lawless act, and puts the most respectable of the mob on the same moral level as the most degraded. The man who violates law in any case, finds it easy to add other violations to the list. He readily finds plausible excuses for his violence, until the time comes when he needs no excuse at all. No self-respecting man can be an active participant in mob violence against law, order and decency and retain his moral integrity. Every triumphant mob emboldens criminals in every community to riot, more readily and for less reason than before. "Mob violence is deadly treason against our government, which grants the largest liberty to the individual, and protection to life, liberty and swept up the Potomac river for more than a mile.

A regular soldier armed with a Krag-Jorgensen rifle guards the houseboat property, than other governments in the history of mankind. "The effect of mob rule may be summarized as follows: It brutalizes the individual man; is destroys free government; it increases crime. "What is the remedy? What is the cure for mobs? Most emphatically we say the remedy is not in hasty and feverish action of courts of justice against the criminal whose offense is the exciting cause. "One cure for mob law unquestionably is the fearless defense of the accused by his keeper. "The demsd is for sheriffs who will shoot to kill in defense of their jails and for governors who dare to maintain law at any cost. Outside of violence, the remedy, in my judgment, is that the people shall be taught in season and out of season that our safety as a people lies in implicit obedience to the law." BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

PEOPLE CAUCHT LIKE RATS IN A TRAP Heroic Attempts to Enter the Smoke- Filled Cavity—Ten Dead Women Brought to the Surface at Ona Time—Work of Rescue Was Very Slow. PARIS. — (Special.) — Eighty-four bodies have been recovered from the wreck on the Metropolitan Electric railway here and the death list probably will exceed 100. Soldiers and firemen are working on the wreckage in the tunnel in the hope of rescuing any victims who may be alive. As the space in which work can be carried on is narrow, only a few men can work at a time and these must be relieved often, as the smoke and heat overcome them in a short time. Although the accident was at 8 o'clock Monday night, the officials and firemen were unable until Tuesday morning to descend into the tunnel owing to the blinding clouds of smoke from the burning train. Frequent attempts were made by heroic volunteers whom it was necessary to rescue half suffocated. They were carried away to the hospitals. At 3:10 o'clock Sergeant Ahrens, wearing a respirator, succeeded in making the descent. He remained seven minutes, and brought the first information that bodies were strewn all about the tunnel. Then he collapsed and was taken to the hospital. Twenty minutes later firemen forced their way through the tunnel station at Meniliment, and returned soon afterward with seven bodies—two men, two young boys and three women. These persons had been asphyxiated, as their positions showed they had been groping through the smoke that filled the tunnel, seeking a way to escape. Long lines of ambulances were brought into requisition, and the bodies were carried to the morgue and the nearby military barracks. After daylight the crowds at the entrance of the tunnel increased to enormous proportions, obliging the police to form a solid cordon through which were admitted only those seeking to identify their relatives. The failure of many men, women and children to return home Monday gave many persons the first news of the catastrophe. Fathers and mothers came hurrying to the mouths of the tunnel to try to find the absent ones. At the second descent the firemen found many bodies massed near the ticket office of the station, where many had been overcome while seeking tickets. They had been surprised by the columns of smoke, and had sought to run back up the stone stairway leading to the street. A struggle had ensued, and some escaped, but the others had been trampled on. One woman had fled into the ticket office, where her body was found. The ticket seller, a woman, escaped. Several versions of the disaster are given. It is believed that the train which caused the accident reached the neighborhood of the cemetery of Pere la Chalse, where the electrical motor failed to act properly. The train then waited at the station of Les Charonnes until the arrival of the second train, which pulled the crippled train forward, making a total of sixteen coaches. After proceeding about 200 yards toward Menilmontant station the damaged dynamo set fire to the engine of the first train. The fire burned fiercely. Simultaneously the electric lights upon the trains went out, leaving the passengers in darkness. The terror-striken passengers got out and tried to grope their way back. The powerful electric current which continued in the rails is believed to have stunned or killed many. Several passengers managed to reach Les Charonnes station, but most of them were overcome by the heat and smoke. A terrible panic occurred among those behind and the horror of the situation was increased by a third train crashing into the fiery mass and adding another crowd of panic-stricken passengers to those seeking an outlet. The cars continued to burn until twenty were consumed. The escape of most of the trainmen was due to their superior knowledge of the subterranean passage.

THE BOAT The next time Christopher Norwaugh goes out after a swordfish he will take care to have the bottom of his dory covered with sheet iron. He has learned his lesson, as, with a smile, he says himself; and he is glad to be living. At present he is lying on a cot in one of the surgical wards of St. Joseph's hospital, with his left leg as rigid as a capsta bar. Norwaugh is a Danish-America, stocky, blue-eyed and fair-haired. He spent his boyhood on the sea, and naturally enough, when he came to this country seventy years ago, he still looked to the sea for a living. With his family he settled on Block Island. Block Island is noted for its ozonous air and for its fishing. The Block Island amateur is proud to show his brown arms and his string of bluefish, but the Block Island professor shows some pride and pleasure only when he tows in a swordfish. The swordfish season begins early ```markdown ``` in June and lasts a little more than two months. It is short but full of excitement. In eight or ten weeks even the most reckless fisherman has enough of wondering whether the attacked animal will rise through the distant rollers or through the films bottom of the boat. It's only the green fisherman who laughs when you speak of the dangerous swordfish. Mr. Norwaugh was rather sceptical himself until a few days ago. Now he firmly believes that a little imprudence is a dangerous thing. Strong. Trusty. Fearless. At the first of the season Norwaugh joined the crew of the swordfish catboat Lindsey, Capt. Edwin Dodge, Capt. Dodge was mighty pleased to have so strong and trusty a helpmate. The season opened discouragingly, in fact, the Lindsey didn't make her first catch until the Fourth of July. After the Fourth the fish came around regularly; and on the morning of the 9th, some six miles south of Block Island, the Lindsey sighted her sixth fish. Swordfishing is much like whaling, except that the scale is smaller. There is a lookout in the masthead, ready to shout the moment his sharp eyes spot any fish; and there is a man who stands ready to get into the pulpit on the bowsprit and hurl the harpoon; and another member of the crew is prepared to go off in a boat after the harpooned fish. "It's a whopper!" said the man at the masthead. "Keep her headed sou'out-east." Off bounded the catboat on the starboard tack. The captain took up his harpoon and climbed into the pulpit. "Where is he?" "Straight ahead, cap," the lookout replied. "You'll see him in a minute." Within the minute he saw the sword-fish—a rare monster, at least ten feet long from tip of tail to point of sword. But the swornfish also saw the catbott, and throwing up a geyser with his tail he started for the bottom of the sea. He moved just a second too late. He was not more than three feet below the surface when the Lindsey scudded by, and Capt. Dodge hurled his harpoon with the unerring aim of an old hand. Splurge! — down went the fish. Whizz!—off reeled the fifty fathoms of line in the boat occupied by Norwaugh. So the fight began. Ordinarily the blow of the harpoon takes all the pugnacity out of the swordfish, and after a couple of plunges he has no resistance left in him. Then the man in the boat slowly hauls in the line, draws near the fish, and when he is near enough gives the finishing strokes with a long lance. That had always been Norwaugh's experience; and he was rated as one of the best men in the business. "Now tell me how it happened yourself. If you feel strong enough to," said 不 the reporter, sitting by the cot in St. Joseph's hospital. "Of course I feel strong enough," said Norwaugh, with a smile. "I'd get up if they'd let me. Yes, I'll tell you how it happened." He stretched himself by taking hold of the iron bars back of his head. Without doubt, if he had exerted himself he could have bent the bars. His exceptional hairiness betokened his exceptional strength. Which partly accounts for his recovery. "It was a good fair shot that the captain made," he related, "and I went after the fish in a small boat. There were about fifty fathoms of line tied to the harpoon, but not all of the fifty fathoms was reeled out. I should say that when the fish came to the surface for the first time he wasn't much more than two fathoms away. "I began to haul in the line and to draw up on the fish. As a usual thing, the swordfish is easy enough to take care of. I had taken in hundreds of them, and I had never had any serious trouble before. When you draw up on him you cut him in the fins and gills with your long lance, and usually he gives up the fight just then. He may squirm around a bit, and make you look out for his tail, but that's all. "Well, before I could haul up very close to this fellow he began to go round the boat. Round and round he went, just as fast as he could swim. I had hard work to keep myself from being tangled up in the line, and, besides, once he came so near the stern of the boat, where I was standing, that his tall flashed by my head. After that I had an idea that he would give me some trouble." Norwaugh paused to smile. Though powerful, he has a gentle manner and a kind, disarming smile. You'd think that his life was one long, sweet, soft, smooth song. "After going round about a dozen times he plunged down for the second time. Then, before you could say St. Joseph, he came up through the bottom of the boat. Gee!" And just here the fisherman shook his head as he smiled. "The sword entered my left leg just above the knee, in the back of the leg, and went obliquely up through the fleshy part of my thigh. In a second it was drawn out again, and the fish disappeared. "Well, it was very lucky—very lucky, indeed. I had strength enough to make signals of distress and to stuff my cap into the hole in the boat. The blood was just pouring out of the wound. They tell me that the sword of the fish was over three feet long, and that it tore the flesh all off the thigh bone of my left leg. I suppose they know. I know that by the time the catcob came alongside I was fit to faint; and I know that my leg is pretty stiff to-day. "I was very lucky. The sword tore about all the veins and muscles in my ```markdown ``` thigh, but the arteries escaped. How that happened is the miracle. If an artery had been torn, I would probably have bled to death before they could get me back to Block Island. You see, the wicked fish had two chances to kill me, once going in and once coming out. I don't know how I escaped. But you won't find me taking any more chances with a swordfish."—Boston Journal. WISDOM OF SWISS STATESMEN. Proved by the Remarkable History of the Country. Some of the ancient agreements between the little Swiss states were very noteworthy. In 1243 Bern and Fribourg made a covenant which lasted for more than 200 years, by which they agreed that even a war between them should not destroy their agreement, that no war between them should be entered on without a previous attempt at conciliation, and that within fourteen days of the end of any feud all territory conquered and spoils of war must be returned to their owners. Cities which 650 years ago could agree to such terms deserve to live in history! Basle, Schaffhausen and Appenzell a few years later were wise and far-sighted enough to agree "to sit still and seek conciliation" in case of difference between them. Just over 600 years ago the Swiss confederation was founded by the three tiny mountain states, Uri, Schwys and Nidwalden, which, remaining small and unimportant themselves, have, by the force of the idea of union, drawn to themselves from time to time larger states and powerful cities, till to-day the Swiss nation can, in proportion to its size and population, boast of a prouder history and greater benefits to mankind than any other nation in Europe.

It consists of a case, or sheath, holding a number of nickel hooks; or bands, like those used for the corners of card-board boxes. They are put in position with a pair of forceps and can be adjusted at the rate of 25 a minute. Their rounded points do not penetrate the lower layer of the skin, but only the epidermis and therefore the pain caused by them is very slight. They have the additional advantage of being very easily disinfected.—Stray Stories. Coiffures a Century Age. These were the styles in 1803. Joke That Caused Death. A young man, riding on a street car in the Boulevard Haussmann, Paris, noticed a friend passing along in a cab a few feet beneath him. As the cab came alongside the car his friend yawned, and the young man, for a joke, tossed down a good-sized walnut, which fell squarely into his friends throat. Immediately the latter's body writhed in pain, his face grew purple and his hands wildly clutched the air. He was choking to death, the nut having lodged far down his throat. Cab and car were stopped, and the nearest doctor summoned. But it was too late, and the victim died in a few minutes. The perpetrator of the grim "joke" has been asked to hold himself at the disposal of justice. Deer Pastures With Cows Lorenzo A. Manning has a large pasture in Templeton, Mass., in which he has a number of cattle. A few days ago he sent John A. Braithwaite up to get one of the cows, telling him how many were in the pasture. Mr. Braithwaite began to count the cows, but count as often as he might, there was one more than the specified number. He went up nearer and discovered that the extra cow was a large deer, which stood around with the cattle while he caught the cow, without the slightest symptoms of fear. Drinks No Water. John L. Rosso, of New Brunswick, U. J., has not had a drink of water since 1862. For the past forty years he has drank nothing but whiskey, wine and beer, always in moderation. Mr. Rosso is now 78 years old, is strong and robust, and says that he has never been ill a day in his life. He has forgotten the taste of water. Relic of Pioneer Days. There is on exhibition in a Haverhill, Mass., window a hatchet which it is said was used by the Indians in the famous massacre at Dover, N. H., during the early days, when twelve white people were murdered.

All in Montana Graveyard Died "With "Their Roots, On." Near Billings, Mont., is an old-time cemetery which contains but fifty-two bodies, yet the cemetery is a remarkable one, in that every person buried there died with "his boots on." The graveyard is an old one, and the memory of it almost passed from the memory of the rising generation. It is one of the pioneer institutions of the state, and to the minds of the old-timers brings many recollections. There is not a headstone in the cemetery; if there were any they were wood and have gone the way of all the world. It is doubtful even whether any of the bodies buried there were encased in coffins Montana was a territory when this cemetery was started; the originator of the place was a gambler known throughout the West as "One-Arm Bill," who conducted several games in the little town that at the time occupied the site near here. "One-Arm Bill" is believed to have been the originator of the expression "private graveyard," and it is certain that he did his best to increase the population of his. Of the fifty-two men buried the old-timers claim that more than half were slain by Bill, who was noted as a dead shot. The rest of the occupants of the little city of the dead were men who were killed in brawls and by accidents—men who died literally with their boots on. The existence of this old burial ground had almost been forgotten until yesterday, when human bones TO THE CEMETERY Going There With His Boots On. were unearthied by a man who was putting in the foundation for a house he intended building. A pioneer was in the office when the coroner made an examination of the relics, and he explained how all the bodies came to be buried there. KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON. Artillery Used to Crush Minute Enemies of Mankind Artillery charged with grapshot has been employed to destroy great fortresses which the termites, or warrior ants, have made in many tropical countries. In South Africa the termites work enormous hayoc. They live in a republic of their own, and some of them have wings. The workmen, the soldiers and the queen, however, have none. The workmen construct their buildings, the soldiers defend the colony and keep order, and the females, or queens, are cared for by all the others. These become in point of fact, mere egg laying machines which have to remain tied to one spot. Their nesting homes are often twenty feet high and pyramidial in shape. Cattle climb upon them without crushing them. A dozen men can find shelter in some of their chambers and native hunters often lie in wait inside of them when out after wild animals. The ants construct galleries which are as wide as the bore of a large cannon and which runs three or four feet underground. The nests are said to be five hundred times as high as the ant's body, and it has been estimated that if we built our houses on the same scale they would be four times as high as the pyramids of Egypt.

With the A WOMAN WASHING A FLOOR view there has been recently developed the scrubbing brush shown in the which has not only the advantage covering a great deal of floor up as it moves along, but the action its bristles on the floor is increase as a rotary motion is imparted to as well as the back and forth motion. This feature is said to decrease labor of scrubbing by half. And advantage is that it does its work without the necessity of bring operator onto his or her hands in knees. The scrubbing brush has two handles, one of which is held in one of the operator's hands. The handles are pivoted to a post on top of the brush head, and by means of a pionh arrangement carried on upper part of the brush head brush is given a rotary motion as handles are moved toward and at from each other. At the same time the brush is given the usual forward and backward motion. This device has been invented by a resident the Far Northwest, and has been tried on some of the office building of Tacoma and Vancouver, and it said, performs its functions with e Cable. This shows a section of the Anglo-Belgian cable. Frenchman in Hard Position. A Frenchman named Lilier is an awkward position. The Paris and cities have forbidden him to live that city, while the military and ties have ordered him to remain Paris. He was arrested, the day, on a charge of theft and tenced to one month's imprisonment. If that sentence is served on Paris gaol the civil court may find imprison him for residing in the city. If he is sent to a country prison military will prosecute him. Good Stock to Own.
