President Whittle Id , of the Western
.Baseball league , committed suicide at
Kansas City , Mo. , Monday. lie might
have accomplished the same result by
umpiring a game of ball at St. Joe , as
they always mob the umpire.
Many of ihe bills passed by the sen

senators by the diroct vote of the people
and the senators who oppose this plan
are the ones who vote "aye" on all the
shady transactions of that body.
Two Kansas City men have been

And now it is announced that the St ,

After giving th subject much thought
the attorney general has decided that
he don't know whether or not the
United States is violating the neutral
ity laws in allowing England to buy
munitions of war and maintain recruit

has evidently been prepared to suit the
attitude of the administration.
The Blair Pilot claims that the re

If this be true it would appear that
their probationary period has not been

another opportunity for studying plans

The Cody Cow Hoy , in a long editor
ial of the 20th of March , takes much
the sameposition as the Recorder on
the matter of the lease law , believing
that the proper solution of the range
question is the homestead law. Editor
Heath , who is himself a cattle man ,
pertinently remarks "All know that
under our present law this vast tract
of country is opened and free to all
cattle men : not a cent of rental to tiay.
Then why shoufd a few cattle men em
brace the desire to have a law passed
whereby the } may pny a rental to tb >
government two ccnte per acre for th"
use of this same land which theyre
now using free of chHrge ? Evidently
they want to exclude someone who is
enjoying the iim privileges ; or , in
otLer words squeeze someone out of"

The testimony introducedbefore the

butt in the sand and the muzzle to his
left breast and touched the trigger
with a whip and the entire charge of
shot entered the body just to theJeft
of the heart , causing instant death.
The deceased has been a resident of
this locality for about fifteen years
and was at one time employed at the
Elkborn coal sheds at this place. He
had no relatives but a brother who
is still in England , from which coun
try the deceased came when young.
He was about 45 years old and leaves
considerable property , the result of
years of hard toil and economv. The
