Mo-Kinney, of Hutchinson, grand medical director of the A. O. TJ. W. of Kansas, is dead.

The place is worth $3,000 a year and E. E. Murphy of this city has the appointing of his successor. From Wichita: The September term of the federal court has adjourned until January 5, Judge Foster being too ill to sit longer. Clyde Mattox, under indictment for murder at Oklahoma, cannot be found and his bond of $5,000 was declared forfeited.

From Emporia: The residence of Judge E. W. Cunningham was entered and the judge who had been aroused from his bed by the noise made by the robber entering a window, found the intruder on the stairway, who jumped to his feet shouting out, "Shoot him," as if addressing a companion. The judge, however, who is a veteran, replied by raising his hand and saying "No, but I will shoot you." With one leap the burglar struck the bottom of the stairs and fled through the window by which he had entered, and the judge, who had no weapon at hand, fled the other way, shouting to his wife, "Bring me my gun." Parsons special: Milton Bradley, living east of this city, is dead; which brings to light a strange and peculiar incident. About three years ago last April he mysteriously disappeared from his home in ElDorado, Kan.

Being a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow every effort was made to find him, but to no avail, and no trace was obtained of his whereabouts until a telegram was forwarded to his wife at ElDorado, from here, notifying her of his death. He was formerly treasurer of Butler county, and at the time of his disappearance his business and family affairs were in the best of condition. Bradley was 60 years old and carried his secret to the grave. Wichita special: Keports from nearly every town and village throughout this section are full of complaints about the depredations being wrought by boomers bound for the strip. Horses have been stolen by scores, cattle killed and parts taken away, hogs taken, grain bins despoiled and hen roosts ransacked.

There were ten horses stolen here during one night, three of which had buggies attached, from in front of onC church. The sheriff, during the day received over forty postal cards describing horses stolen from different parts south and west of here. The city council tried to hold a meeting but it developed that eight out of the twelve oouncilmen had left for the Cherokee strip. The Wellington Mail has this, which might pass for a razzle-dazzle: One of the most remarkable phenomena which has ever come toonr notice was the spontaneous combustion of two dead cedar trees in Ab Frantz's yard, occurring just about a week apart almost to the minute. Last spring he planted two cedar trees in his front yard and they both died.

A week ago last Sunday about 3 o'clock in the afternoon one of the trees caught fire and burned up, and as there was no one near the tree at the time, it can be attributed to no other cause than the direct rays of the sun. Last Sunday at just about the same time of day, the other caught fire in the same manner and was burned up. God has not had much to do with she revival that winds up with a church entertainment Thb world loses nothing when a bad man dies, no matter how much money be was worth. It is poor policy to hire a man to watch a bank who believes that stealing chickens Is right Thb best places in- Heaven are for those who are willing to have a bard time on earth for Christ The dismal man generally looks as though he would like to put an iron roof over the sky if he could. We are washed in tbe blood of Christ only when we believe that every drop of it was shed for us The world is full of men who intend to become benefactors by and by.

The devil don't care bow much noise a man makes in church if be cap make him mean and stingy with his money. There are men so small that when they give a quarter for the heathen they think God ought to give them a big wheat crop. The Trump of Fame.

The dignity of the trumpet Is proved by its association with certain famous personiflcat'ona Thus, one never sees Fame, Honor, or Victory without a trumpet For that matter, a great many mortals are never seen without an accompaniment of the same kind, which tbey blow with might and main in order to catch the attention of their fellows. Tbe trumpet in this sense is almost indispensable; the bigger your trumpet, the louder your fanfare, the greater will be your success. Politicians, priests, authors, actors, professors, agitators, philanthropists, all blowing their loudest in order to blow themselves into popularity or place or pelf or power! There are men and women wijh wares to sell their consciences, their -pens, their talents who, by persistent trumpeting, get them disposed of at their own price. The wares may be sadly damaged, but the loud advertisement confuses and overcomes tbe buyer. Other vendors, with better stuff to sell, fret never a bid because they cannot handle their trumpets or are too scrupulous to make use of them.

Sometimes, it is true, the staple is of such excellent quality that the people crowd round to buy it even without "a flourish of trumpets." All the Year Round. ST. LOUIS IN A BLAZE OF GLORY.

Paris, the most magnificent city on either continent, has for ages held the proud title of "the premier carnival city of the world," However, during the last ten or twelve years an American rival of no mean pretensions has contested for that high honor, and today St, Louis holds what Paris so reluctantly relinquished, the title of the "carnival city of the two continents."

This is a busy place and will be so for several days. It is not only a good crop of good broom corn but' they are paying good wages for haying it gathered and taken care of.

KANSAS RAILROADS. "The Santa Fe general freight office," said an officer of the road, "is conducted on tbe civil servioe rule as far as possible. We have men with us now getting from $75 a month up, who only a few years ago started in as office boys at io a montn.

xne roaa naas that it pays to adopt this plan, for it gives men something to look forward to. It is only where the clerk has not qualified to fill a higher position that sny deviation from this rule is made." The rush for the Cherokee strip was so great that It was with difficulty that the railroads furnished transportation for ad who wanted to goto tbe promised land. Tbe Atchison train which reached Topeka at eleven o'clock at night over ths Santa Fe cams loaded to the plat forms, and then only about one-half of the passengers bound for the strip wars brought out of Atchison. As soon as tbe train was unloaded of its human freight tt wss started back to Atchison and brought in another load of boomers before morning Am Exciting Ride oa a tajre Coach hi Kan sas' Early Days. The following graphic description of an attack upon a stage coach, by Indians, in the days before Kansas was as well settled as she is now, will give the reader a fair idea of the ex- siting experience of travelers In that region.

"Did you see that?" A stage coach which has been push ing along the overland trail in West ern Kansas is suddenly pulled up by tbe driver, who rises in his seat, points to the broken ground on the right and ahead, and turns to tbe two outside passengers to repeat: "Did ye see that? Thars Injuns ambushed in the dry ravine ahead!" Two passengers on top five inside seven In all but two of them are women wives of army officers. Five men with guns and pistols, Tbe driver won't count unless a bullet brings down one of his horses. "Beady Inside, thar?" he asks. "Tell tbem wimen-folks to crouch down on tbe floor and keep quiet. Throw open them doors and fasten 'em back.

One of you better cum up yere. Now, then, thar' may be ten or fifteen, or thar may be fifty or sixty of tjje varmints. They've got their ponies, in course. They'll make tbe rush jest whar the road bends to'rds the river. They'll cum whoopln' and yellin' like lunatics broke loose, but don't let the noise rattle ye.

I'm goin' to put my horses on the dead run and keep 'em going at that, and I expect the rest of ye to do the shootin'. Everybody all ready? Then here goes!" Two women crouching on the floor of the coach praying to God five pale-faced men with teeth hard set gripping their rifles and determined to make a good tight of It With a shake of the lines the driver breaks the four horses into a run, and then braces his feet and looks straight ahead. The spirited animals will be terror stricken at tbe first yell and run away. He must keep the coach in tbe road or a wipe-out is certain, Yes, the Indians are there half a hundred of them. They have been in ambush for an hour.

This is the first stage to the West for three dais: it will be the last for a fortnight It is another Indian outbreak and Cus ter's men will ride over the1 Smoky Hill section to find mutilated corpses at every relay-house for 100 miles. The bend in the road is reached, and of a sudden fifty ponies rush out of the dry ravines, which spread out there like the fingers of a human band, and flity Indian warriors whoop, shriek, and yell at the top of their voices. They fire their rifles and discharge their arrows as they charge, but it is a wild usllade. "Steady, now!" calls the driver, but keeping his eyes on his flying horses. "My little trick has knocked 'em out They'll bev' to swing in be hind us, and you fellers want to take it cool and not waste yer lead.

Geewhew, but ain't them horses cut- tin' out the pace?" The Indians fire at the men on the roof they urge their ponies to over take the swaying, bounding, flying coach tbey yell like devils let loose. Crack! crack! crack! go their rifles. A pony falls a warrior throws up bis bands and tumbles to tbe earth the driver gets a firmer grip on the lines and mutters: "Splendid! splendid! Couldn't ask 'em to do better! If them fellers in side has got sand we'll pull through The warriors were gaining. With a sudden rush the mob parted to take the stage right and left and to get at tbe horses. Then from the open door rifles and revolvers cracked from the women crouched on the floor with faces buried in their hands came shrieks and walls of despair.

"It's a straight run now, and the Lord help us!" whispered the driver, as be shifted all the lines to his left hand rod drew his revolver and opened tire. "Take that, ye painted devil! Down ye go, ye spotted cay use! That's the last errer you'll ever shute, my yellin' buck! Revolvers is the tning, Doys aown witn yer rines ana use tbem barkers!" "Oh, God! have pity on us!" prayed the women between their sobs, but tbe white-faced men firing through the open doors over their heads beard them not Thud! splash! whlzzl came ouuet ana arrow, xnere was the jingle of breaking glass splint ers flew about drops of blood fell upon tbe upturned faces and burned like Are. All at once pandemonium ceased and silence reigned. Tbe In dians had abandoned the attack. On that three-mile stretch lay a dozen dead and wounded bucks more than that- number of dead and wounded ponies.

"Whoa! my beauties!" called tbe driver, as be laid aside bis pistol and separated tbe lines. "This ere fout is over, and ye needn't throw any more shoes off. Easy, now whoa! How is it with you fellers back thar?" As the frightened horses began to slacken their pace be cast a swift glance over bis shoulder. The three men were lying down on the roof. Half a mile further on he brought tbe horses to a halt and called to those inside A man with blood on his face and hands stepped out and asked: "Are they gone?" "Yes licked 'em In a fa'r fout Anybody hurt down thar?" "Women all rlgbt men all wounded.

Information received by the board of railroad commissioners! and other state officials as to the condition of the settlers of western Kansas is extremely discouraging. The authorities of several counties report that many farmers are not only without seed wheat or seed grain of any kind, but are without the necessitiefJ or me. or tnree years tney nave naa a failure of crops, and are now without anything to fall back on. This is not the condition of all the people by any means, but there are many of them, and the counties in which they reside are too impoverished to take care of them. A month ago Governor Lewelling appointed Hon.

Walter N. Allen, of Jefferson county, to superintend the work of collecting seed grain for the relief of west-em Kansas. There is a very great demand in every in the western third of the state for this relief, and Mr. Allen did all in his power to interest the people of eastern Kansas in the proposition to help them out, but his labors have met with so little reward that he gave up in despair and gave his resignation to Governor Lewelling. The authorities of Bush county informed the railroad Commissioners that they had secured two car loads of wheat for the settlers of that county.

This is the only encouraging report that has been made by any of the distressed counties. One car was furnished by the farmers in the vicinity of Lorraine, Ellsworth county, and the other by farmers near Bushton, Bice county. There ought to be no delay upon the part of the people of east-era Kansas who this year have abundant crops, in responding to the call from the frontier. Tribulation of Railroads. A Santa Fe man who has just returned states that the road had from seventy-five to one hundred passenger cars loaded Saturday to start when the guns were fired.

They carried any place from 15,000 to 25,000 men during the day. How to avoid accidents on the train was a problem that occupied the attention of passenger agents. All trains were run at a speed of fifteen miles an hour and stops were made every five miles. The railroad men feared that strippers would get reckless and jump from the train while in motion, and thus take great chances for their lives. To prevent this a United States soldier was stationed in each car, the door of which was locked, to keep the impatient boomer from escaping between stops.

General Superintendent Nickerson ordered that none but second-class coaches should be sent to the strip, as there was much danger of the men becoming wild and doing them demage. The passenger department was not the only branch of the road that was puzzled over the opening. The freight department is wondering how it can get all those oars of freight unloaded in the next week or ten days. Every mile of sidetrack in the neighborhood of Arkan sas City is packed full of cars. Fully 1,500 cars of lumber alone awaited the signal Stocks of goods innumerable, household furniture, and all that goes to make entire towns is on the cars waiting to be moved in.

Much of it ia billed to places that as yet have no existence at all and some trouble is ex pected over this class of freight The whole problem is a serious one for the railroads, and railroad men look forward anixously to the outcome. The Bock Island is experiencing the same trouble, and others, too. i It took nine coaches to carry the Kan sas editorial association to Chicago. City ticket agents report that fewer tickets were sold from Topeka to the strip than from any other town of its size in this vicinity. Lieutenant Governor Percy Daniels acted as governor in the absence of Uov- iernor Lewelling, while the latter was away at Chicago.

Daniels and State Auditor Prather were the only state offi cials in the city. The attendance at Washburn college is better than it has been on any other opening of the school year, there being nearly 300 in attendance. This number 'with those who will enter the school later on, will bring the enrollment to a grand total of nearly 400. The board of directors of the penitentiary niet in special session at Lansing to consider the application of the Mid land Brick and Tilo company of Leaven worth, to declare their contract for con vict labor void, as the company said that their business did not warrant them in hiring any men at present, and their contract called for a minimum number of twenty-five and a maximum number of one hundred. The company has not paid the state their July or August ac counts and say that they are unable to do so at present, and that if the board makes them live up to the terms of the contract it will be a great loss to them.

The board decided that they found no reason why the contract should not be lived up to, and if their back account is not paid up in the near future, action will be taken to make tbem settle. O. a Hill, of Hiawatha, who has a considerable reputation In Kansas as the author of a series of school readers, has been sued for $18,000 by the American Book company, the charge being that he is a plagiarist Hill's readers are used in many parts of Kansas, and they are nigniy eommenaea oy educators.

U. I Hutchinson letter: The question of tax-i ing judgments held in this county has been before the county commissioners a great many times, and has been viewed from all possible points. At the last meeting they issued an order that all judgments should be taxed. This procedure has been followed in a number of counties in this state, and a very de cided effect was created, particularly in Hedgwick county. After the order of the commissioners of that connty commanding the taxing of judgments, the dork of the court received hundreds of letters and telegrams from holders of judgments, ordering him to release their judgments.

This was clone rather than pay the taxes on them. The order issued by our commissioners is that the clerk of the court will permit some one to be employed by the county to go through the judgment dockets and make a list of all judgments bow in force, the name of the owner and in ease of assignment the present owner. After this is done all owners will be notified by the county clerk. That they must appear before the commissioners and give testimony as to the value of tbe judgment, or show reason why said judgment should not be taxed. After this ia done the value of the various judgments will be enter tained on the tax rolls.

The probable effect of this move will be the releasing of number of judgments that are now held in the hopes that they may at some time be of value.
