A story comes from Cascade that three men, Bart-ley and Thomas Murphy and their nephew, James, who owns a farm four miles from town, were visited by two men wearing masks last week, who bound the three with wire and then proceeded to torture Bartley by burning his feet with a candle to induoe him to give up his money. This he could not do, as their money was not in the house. The would-be robbers remained in the house all day, searching every nook and corner, but only secured $6. The old man was badly injured, the soles of his feet being burned to a crisp. Bartley was alone when the robbers came, and the others were seized and bound as they returned from ohuroh.

The same men suffered a like experience a year ago, probably from the same parties. The Murphys are bachelors. The sheriff of Jones county is looking for the guilty parties. And we look forward with hope to the day when gold shall be relegated to the- arts of the country and the human family possess, free of tribute to bankers, a governmental full legal measure of value' made of paper, that will expand side, by side with the growth of wealth and popu lation. Then and only then, will the people realize the full benefit of civilization and the world be made a gat den of delights for ankind.

We call attention to the publio school system and the postal service as exemplifications of a beneficent state socialism, which our people would only relinquish with their lives. And we demand that the oarrying of messages written with pen and ink be amplified to embraoe messages written by electricity, and that the train of oars which carries our letters be owned by the government to carry those who wrote the letters. No other reforms will avail much if corporations are permitted to say how much they shall take from the producers and how much they will leave them.

A few days later they usually found themselves in some low lodging house without a dollar. Often they were ill or weak from exposure and privations, and suffered relapses beoause of their dissipations. When this fact became known to Miss Gould she hired the Salvation army headquarters, plaoed a sum of money in the hands of the person in charge, bought 250 spring cots and bedding, provided oooks, waiters and other necessaries for a hotel, and placed agents on all the trains running into the city from Montauk Point and the railway stations to notify every soldier who arrived in town that a good bed and wholesome food were waiting for him at 121 East Fifteenth street without expense. This hospitality was aooepted by hundreds-Some of them remained there for a week or more, seeing the sights of the city.

A Rich Discovery Alleged to Have Been Blade at Malvern and a Grand liueh Ts Now On. Canal Dover, Ootober 22. Excitement following the discovery of gold at Malvern, north of here, and the extensive plans made for mining it, continues unabated, and to-day the little town is crowded with strangers. This hamlet of scarcely 500 souls has been transformed within the past few days into a veritable Western boom town, and a cosmopolitan air has been added by the strange mix Winnipeg, Ootober 20. Of an timated yield of from to bushels of wheat, it is now calculated that only about 8,000,000 will be threshed, and the balance, standing in stacks and shocks, is threatened with total destruction.

The outlook is exceedingly gloomy. Farmers almost despair of saving the balanoe of these crops. The barley and oats crops are all out in the fields, as well as wheat. It has been raining more or less steadily for the past three weeks and incessantly for several dayp. If a heavy frost or snow should come now the whole outstanding crop would be rendered unfit for even hog food.

EDITOR RICE WILL RETURN TO FORT SCOTT AND AGAIN MAKE IT HIS HOME. Mr. Price Had Resided la Atchison since 1838 ffai a Prominent Todge Man and Politician. Atohison, Ootobar 25. John M.

Price died last week. He was 69 years of age, and had resided in Atohison since 1858. He was not only one of the mcst prominent lodge men in the west, bat until a few years ago he was a politician of note. He served three terms as a member of the state senate from Atohison county and one term in the house, and in 1873 he was before the anti-Pomeroy caucus as a candidate for United States senator. It was this caucus that nominated John J.

Ingalls. It is said that Prioe might have been the successful candidate hid it not been for the fact that he was a large lasd owner in Atohison. Leavenworth, fearing he might discriminate in favor of Atohison, turned its influence ogainet him. He was also a prominent candidate for governor when Thomas Osborn was nominated. Mr.

Price was an attorney, and while a member of the state senate in 1868, codified the laws of Kansas while serving as chairman of a legislative committee appointed for that purpose. He was a very thorough mao, and performed the work in an excellent manner. John M. Prioa laid more briok and mortar than any other Atchison man, and a dozen blocks and other buildings bear his nam, Abstracts of half the lots in Atohison bear his name. He was the father of four children, all of whom are living and was present at the time of his death.

The general's eyesight is failing him and his retirement is due to this faot. For half a century to the very day on whioh he wrote his valedictory for the Sedalia Capital, he has been in the newspaper business, and, although 70 years of age, he has lost none of his youthful vigor and forceful expression that has made him a faotor in all publio affairs in every oommunity where he has applied his pen or occupied the rostrum.

In order to maintain the liberties of the people we must preserve thtir homes, and we therefore demand laws in the several states exempting the homes of the people from taxation absolutely in a sum not less than $2,000, and a personal property exemption of not less than 300 to eaoh head of a family. To make up for this reduotion of taxation we favor an income, inheritance and other like taxes.
