I'KOlilBlTlONlSTS INVlTtt llOKKW.
Topeka, Kan .. Juno 17. Rev. J. P.
McAfee, president of the State Tem-
perance league, has issued an Invita-
tion to Governor Morrill to be present
at tho great temperance convention at
Topeka on July 4 and make an address.
When the meeting was tirst called an
Invitation was extended to Lieutenant
Governor Troutman to be present while
Governor Morrill was ignored Gover-
nor Morrill was fairly deluged with
letters from ministers of the Gospel,
and other moralists who hasten d to
repudiate a convention called for the
purpose of "roasting" the governor.
Some of the best men of the state took
avtive and open resentment to this ap-
parent slur upon the governor and as-
sorted that if the third party agitators
were not called off they would damage
the cause of prohibition beyond recov-
ery. Those who were In tho move-
ment for the earnest purpose of arous-
ing public sentiment to an enforcement
of the law became alarmed at what
was plainly an attempt to destroy Gov-
ernor Morrill at the sacrifice of prohi-
bition, and they took a hand In the ar-
rangements, or at least brought their
Influence to boar on the management,
with tho good result of altering the pro-
gram until It solicited the co-operation
of the state government instead of
trying to drive it away from sympathy
in the cause.
Rev. McAfee, who appears to have
acted In good faith in the matter, so
far as his connections wont, says it is
not the purpose of the convention to
"roast" anybody, but rather to counsel
together as to how the law may be best
enforced.
The invitation to Governor Morrill
moots with the approval of tho temper-
ance Republicans of Kansas, who will
never be driven from the belief that
he is In harmony with ''very effort to
Improve the morals of Kansas. J1 «■ has
not signified his intention of address-
ing the convention as yet, but it Is al-
together probable that he will. If he
does he will bury in shame the charac-
ter assassins who have been denoune-
ing him as in league with the whisky
sellers.

der sentence of death in the penitenti-
ary. who recently asked Governor Mor-
rill to signhls death warrant, will con-
tinue to labor for the state, the chi"f
executive having refused to comply
with his request. Cook's letter to the
governor was remarkable, lie recited
that tho prison authorities had found
his mind unbalanced, and were forced
to keep him In the Insane ward part of

and attempted to show that he was
crazy when he committed the crime for
which he now suffers. "I am either a
lunatic or a red-handed murderer." ho
said. "If the former I should be placod
in an Insane asylum; and if the latter,
I should be hanged." Governor Mor-
rill gave this rc.ison for not signing
the death warrant: "I will novoi
sign a death warrant for any man un
less the statute Is mandatory. As it
now stands the matter is placed wholly
In the descretlon of the governor. Real
ly, the statute Is a cowardly one, and
I will not have the blood of any man

are more or less damaged. The total

An eye witness of the storm, F. R.
Tucker, a traveling man from Em-
poria, says: "I was on the Incoming
Missouri, Kansas and Texas train due
at Hartford at 6;1!0. Just as the train
was stopping 1 and other passengers
noticed to the southwest a peculiar
shaped white cloud formed nearly like
a balloon, but a little more tapering.
Its peculiar whiteness first attracted
our attention. In a few minutes it
seemed to stretch out its neck to the
ground and turned over. Then clouds
from all directions seemed to cluster
around the top and as the small end
struck the earth, trees, fences, every-
thing it struck, were lifted bodily itno
space. In another second beams, furni-
ture, stoves, bedding and all kinds of
material were seen shooting high into
the air from all directions. Ry this
time the passengers were beginning t.
notice that the funnel-shappod cloud
was coming straight for the car in
which we were and inquiries began as
to what was best to be done. Sudden-
ly a Methodist preacher (1 do not know
his name) solved the question by shout-
ing "Here goes for the prairie," and
rushed to the door followed by every
one in tii.- ear. However, this was not
necessary, for when only about 100
feet from the car the rtorn center
took a sudden turn eastward and
swept past the rear of the train with-
out touching it. Tho storm, after pass:
ing through the town to the east set m*
od to Jump the Neosho river and then
rise and disappear In the air."
Subscriptions wore started this even-
ing for the benefit of the sufferers.

Hurglar.
Now York, Juno 17.—Tho latest story
from Bridgeport, Conn , has to do with
a burglar, a lion, and a lady in her
nightdress. I<ast winter Frank C. Cal
lahan of No. 107 John street got a lion
cub and gave it to his wife for a pet
She raised it by hand and it grew up as
a member of the family. At niKht it
slept on a rug in the sitting-room. L#ast
night a burglar broke into the Calla-
han house. He walked confidently in-
to the room in which Claude, tho lion,
was probablv dreaming of something
nice to eat. Tho family heard Claude
roar and snarl and there was a ^yoll of
terror from a human throat. Follow-
ing this, two animate objects did cart-
wheels, accompanied by the noise, but
on a larger scale than supi r^ • n
when two cats that have been debating
paying quantities. That faot is not
clear. Several amateur tests have been
made a« follows: A test at Cloud Chief
brought out $500 a ton. A test at K1
Iteno (from sand) brought out $1,200 a
ton. A test at Ocarche revealed a U>ace
of gold.
Those tests are the work of amateurs
and amateur tests are not reliable be-
ing prejudiced in favor of finding what-
ever is sought fir In almost every in-
stance.
One piece of quarts and some sand has
been sent to Denver, Colorado. When
that is assayed and -the result heard
from the gold excitement in Oklahoma
will either die out completely or Jump
to a fever that Oklahoma has never
known before. So far the people have
been hard-headed about the gold discov
cry. The newspapers of Oklahoma
which at first were skeptical themselves
now find the people skeptical. The
Guthrie Loader takes a half column to
assure Its readers that tho gold story
is not a murky fabrication.
When an official test Is announced and
gold is declared to be possible in paying
quantities the rush for Washita county
will tie something prodigious. As it Is
hundreds of people are rushing In there
at present.
The Cloud Chief Sentinel which is pub
llshed near the gold fields came out this
week with headlines of gold. It gives
tho following description of the gold
excitement. Its story of a Colorado
mining syndicate swooping down on
the country is taken to be tho throb of
an over-excited imagination. Other-
wise ita acount is reliable. Here it is:

Denver, Col., June 17 Little faith Is
put in the Oklahoma gold disco ver lee in
this city. The Republican has this to
say of tihe matter: "It ks not surpris-
ing that the oklahoma gold boom has
conic to an end. It would have been
very strange if gold In paying quanti-
ties had been found In that territory,
for it is far removed from any part of
the country where profitable gold discov
cries have been made. Doubtless gold
can bo found In many tin ts of tho Uni-
ted States east of the Rocky mountains
but with tho exception of the discover-
ies In Georgia and thut part of the south
which is contiguous to those discoveries
there has been nothing found tint
would pay to work The geological for-
mation does not justify the belief that
large deposits of gold ever will be found
In the central or northeastern parts of
the Union."

HEREDITARY NEEDLES.
A roHslhllity That It May at Noim
Tlnio Affect Life Innarunce.
Needles have never been supposed to
bo hereditary, but a recent case report*
cd by a physician of eminence offer*
undoubted evidence to tho contrary. A
lady accidentally ran a needle into hei
foot thirty years ngo, and it lay ap-
parently dormant in her system for bq
many years that its existenco was al-
most forgotten. In 1878 she was mar-
ried, and a year after tho birth of hei
infant daughter, tho needle made Its
appearanco In tho infant's shoulder.
Thero could he no doubt it was tha
original nocdlo by which tho mother
had been attacked in 1860, for it wax
of a peculiar and now obsolete pattern,
and tho mother distinctly remembered
that needles of that pattern wero In U3i
at the tlmo of her attack. Thero can
bo no doubt that the infant inherited
the needlo from her mother and thai
henceforth physicians will expect to
find a natural tendency to needles in
tho tissues. As it is asserted that poo-
plo have died from needles, although
there are very few such cases on record,
the insurance companies will doubtless
add to tho questions which they pul
to candidates for Insurance: "Did youi
father or mother over swallow needles,
and, if so, how many, and of what kind
—sewing, darning, or carpet?"
