GERMAN PROFESSORS SCARCE.
University of Vienna Unable to Find
Worthy Men.
German professors are supposed to
be as plentiful as strawberries in June
but the University of Vienna seems
to be unable to find men worthy of
occupying some of its chairs, especi-
ally in the medical faculty. The late
Prof. Nothnagel's place has been of-
fered to Prof. Kraus, who, however,
prefers to remain in Berlin, and no
medical instructor now in Austria
seems to be considered big enough
for the place. The chair of hygiene
was vacated two years ago by the de-
parture of Prof. Gruber to Munich. It
has not been possible to secure as his
successor one of the only four men
considered sufficiently eminent—Gru-
ber, Rubner, Flugge and Hueppe—
wherefore the professorship will prob-
ably be offered to a younger man who
has yet to make his reputation.
Club of Deaf Women.
A club has been formed by rteaf
women of Berlin. A hundred mem-
bers meet weekly in Wilhelm Strasse,
where they drink tea as they converse
in the sign language or with the aid
of ear trumpets.
Good News for All.
Bradford, Tenn., Oct. 23d.—(Spe-
cial.)—Scientific research shows Kid-
ney Trouble to be the father of so
many diseases that news of a discov-
ery of a sure cure for it cannot fail
to be welcomed all over the country.
And according to Mr. J. A. Davis of
this place just such a cure is found in
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Davis says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed for them. They have done me
more good than anything 1 have ever
taken. I had Kidney Trouble very
bad and after taking « few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills I am completely
cured. I cannot praise them too
much."
Kidney Complaint develops into
Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes,
Rheumatism and other painful and
fatal diseases. The safeguard is to
cure your kidneys with Dodd's Kidney
Pills when they show the flrst symp-
tom of disease.

IN KANSAS' NAME
GOVERNOR HOCH HAS GIVEN A
RAILROAD ITS ONLY CHANCE
TO GET CASE IN COURT
SUIT TO REGOVER INDIAN TERRITORY LAND
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Is
Making One More Effort to Secure
a Tract of Land Under an Old
Grant
TOPEKA: It has developed tha1: i 0f Kansas in the suit in question.
Governor Hoch sometime ago granted can see n0 possible harm in it to the
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail- state. We do not have to pay any
way company the right to use the of the expenses of the suit; we profit
don. and that in appointing Madden
the management of the company had
in mind this land case.
The Indians, of coyrse. will resist
tho suit. They claim that the grant
would only have applied had the gov-
ernment bought their lands and
opened up the country as it did other
reservations. But the government
did not purchase their lands or open
up their country in the old form.
The title of the land is still in their
names, and the Indians contend that
the government has no legal authority
to give away lands which never be-
longed to it.
"I have consented to permit the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway
company to use the name of tho stat'
1
name of the state of Kansas in a suit
to recover a large tract of land in the
Indian Territory, under an old land
grant.
Many years ago congress made a
land grant to Ihe first railroad that
would build a line through Indian
Territory, and Kansas was named as
the trustee. The company which was
first to construct a road was to receive
the land, after the Indian tribal rights
had been extinguished. It included
every alternate section of land for ten
miles on each side of the road. The
Katy," which built its line first, at-
tempted to get hold of the land somo
time ago through suits in the federal
court in the territory, but was defeat-
ed. Now it can get into court only
by using the name of the state of
in no way by the outcome, and the
whole affair is to be managed entirely
by the railway company,
"My understanding is that the state
was made Ihe trustee for a large
amount of land which was to be
turned over to the Missouri. Kansas
& Texas company under certain con-
ditions. The railroad company says
that these conditions have been ful-
filled. and it wants to get. the land.
The land is all in the Indian Territory.
I know that the case was up before
Governor Bailey, but my understand-
ing is that it was presented to him
toward the close of his term of office
and he did not care to act upon It for
that reason. He referred the matter
to Attorney General Coleman, and Mr.
Coleman gave him an opinion to the
the ordinary wan lo take place.
"l-adles and gentlemen." Golden be-
gan. "Are we human beings, or ani-
mals of low degree?" Hfs very dar-
ing made him eloquent. "As individu-
als, liavo we rights that this body cor-
porate is bound to respect? In enter-
ing Paradise as citizens we have vol-
untarily thrown off the yoke of alle-
giance to every reigning potentate in
the world. We threw off the yoke
because wo thought our bonds too
heavy, the laws too strict, and the
privileges tcu few. In vowing alle-
giance to the king and laws of Paraa-
dlse, we expected more freedom and
more rights—we did not expect to be
made slaves! If I obey tho law, has
any one person the right to punish
mo for nothing. Is the king better
than you or 1? is he supreme, the
owner, body and soul of the subjects
over which he rules? Would I be a
man to stand idly by and allow him.
or any other man, lo strike me and
not strike back? 1 say No!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Louis
Lang, the man yon see in the arena
there covered with blood, incurred
tho enmity of the king—as you know
—by winning the heart and hand of
Pearl Huntington, this woman hero
whom the king wished to be revenged
upon. If there is any law we are
bound to respect it is an honorable
marriage. It was no honorable mar-
riage our king wished with this wom-
an. But Louis Lang, as an honorable
man, saved her from a life of misery
and shame. There is not a married
man among us who would not have
done the same! (Great applause.)
For daring to thwart the king he was
condemned to work a year in the
mines! I claim that not even the
king has the right to condemn an
Innocent man to slavery for revenge.
first shall be tried and'proven guiliy.
There is such a thing as going too
far, and 1 think our king has gone
too far In condemning Lang to deaih
without trial. If our king is a true
man, he will not object to having ills
further actions made known; but if
he wishes to rule as a tyrant, he
plainly shows that he is not a fit per-
son to rule at all! What is the will
of the people?"
The applause that greeted Golden
at the conclusion of his speech was
deafening. If Golden had been al-
lowed to put his proposition instantly
there could have been but. one solu-
tion to the problem. But before the
test was taken, Schiller rose to his
feet, and began his reply to the ar-
raignment.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Schiller Makes a Proposition to Lang.
"Before you vote," said Schiller, ris
lng to his feet, and by a gesture with
his hand commanding silence, "citi-
zens of Paradise, allow me to say a
word. I have allowed Golden to say
his say; now I want mine. Golden
has accused mo of crimes I am not
guilty of. Louis Lang is a convict; I
sentenced him to death, not through
spite but because he struck me—me.

ishment for that crime. I did not de-
tain his wife in my palace, though it
is true that she was found a
home. She came to my palace and
asked the whereabouts of her father
aud I told her he was safe. Because
she did not. see her father, she said,
'1 will not believe it!' Sho doubted
my word, and said. 'I will remain her
until you bring my father to mo!' Ii

mines all day, ho came homo, expect-
ing to find his loving wife waiting for
him. Was sho there? No! Tracing
her to the very palace of the king,
Lang dared to tell (he tyrant to his
face that he was detaining her against
her will. Whalen, whose body you
see lying in the dust before you, has
paid the penalty of less than this with
his life. Convict or no convict, I
would have killed the man, king or
subject who would have dared to lay
his hands upon my wife. (Applause.)
"I maintain that when a man en-
ters this place and takes the oath of
allegiance to our law, that he has
rights that we are bound to respect.
Because we have found it necessary
to be here is no sign that we are
beasts—human brutes! (Applause.)
We are banded together for mutual
benefit, not to embrace slavery!
(Right! Right!) Dr. Huntington, the
doctor who was abducted away from
his home and wife and brought here
against his will, took the oath of
allegiance this morning. He is now
a citizen of Paradise as much as you
or I. He has never done us any harm;
why should he be condemned to serve
the rest of his time in our hospital
without the privileges usually grant-
ed to men of talent and honor? If
he is compelled to remain and work
for us, should we not at least at1 ?mpt
to make it pleasant for him in return?
At least allow him the privilege of
breathing, unfettered, the fresh air
once in a while, and sleeping near to
one he loves. We should not stoop to
revenge. We are not devoid of all
feeling! Schiller, though he be king,
has no right to torture his helpless
victim, and we as men should not al-
low him to do so. There can no good
come from allowing injustice to tram-
ple upon our laws, and 1 ask you, the
people of Paradise, to grant me the
privilege of allowing Dr. Huntington
the privilege of our city the same as
any other free man.
"Louis Lang has paid the penalty
for his crime—if crime it may be
called—in striking the man who would
so far forget himself as to war on
women. Now that again he has
proveD himself a man of nerve and
honor, I would ask you to grant him
comp-ete freedom. It appears that the
king hesitates to pronounce the victor
frc !
While 1 am In the mood of asking
and while the people's minds are so
vividly wrought tip with the scenes
visited by Lang, Golden and Rogers.
Lang saw the struggle between the
guard and his wife, and struck him;
I was about to explain to Lang the
circumstance of his wife being in my
house when the ruffian sprang upon
me and struck me!
"Even then, under the circum-
stances, I would not. have exacted the
penalty from Lang but I was dared
to do it by Golden and Rogers, who.
no doubt, saw a chance to dare me
to do what my conscience forbid me.
It is but a put-up scheme to ruin me.
I am willing to obey the people; my
actions have always been above board,
and if they want me to abdicate, l!
for one, am ready to do so!" That
was all he said. He felt that he had
made out a very plausible tale—if for
no other reason than of the power he
held.
"Now I wish to say a word!" said
Rogers. "Our king has accused mo of
inciting him to do a wrong. A poor
excuse for a man in the exalted posi-
tion of our king! But every word that
ho has uttered is a lie! And his ac-
tions, this base subterfuge, shows him
to be but a coward! A scoundrel born
and bred!" Schiller's face was livid,
iwice or thrice he essayed to arise,
but only to fall back in his chair,
trembling with excitement (or fear).
"I saw I^ng strike the king. I would
have done the same under the same
circumstances. What made I.ang a
convict here in the first place? I will
tell you. Schiller wanted to put Gold-
en out of the way and Louis Lang
nipped the plot in tho bud: that's the
reason—and our great king now wants
I revenge on Lang!" Rogers hit the
! bull's-eye.
"I agree with Rogers there!" ex-
claimed a voice, and Sam Pearson
stood up. "I have been a tool of
Schiller's long enough. I was present
when he made the offer to Revolver
Rob to kill Golden. I like fair play,
and I will not stand by and see him
condemn an honest man !o death,
who has not harmed anyone, just for
the pleasure of revenge. I think the
king has gone far enough!''
The suddenness of lie uprising of
the people stunned Schiller. He was
helpless in the net he had woven for
others.
"I do not wish to bring my rase
before the people.'' said Golden, who
really did not want to be tendered the
crown at this time for fear of the
after-climax, and who also saw
macy. "1 (an take care of myself If.
only you give mo a fair chance. I do
not, however, want to see injustice!
done to anyone, it is lino ;o quit
this revenge business and grant Lang-
and Huntington the freedom of our:
city. I think the people good enough
to rule, and Rogers and I, as tho ma-
jority of the Council of Three, think
these people punished enough. What
do_Ihe people think?"
"'Life to Lang!" was Ihe cry.
"Make Golden king!" was another
shout. Aud the turmoil was deafen-
ing.
"Wo accept your pardon of Lang."
said Golden, "but I do not wish to bo
king. Neither Rogers nor I hold any
grudge against Schiller—all we want,
is to see justice done! Curb his maj-
esty a little; make his office one of
mayor; see If he is not worthy of
trust, and make a man of him. If
that don't work then make Rogers
kin r—there's a man for you!"
"So be il!" was the cry. "We wl.I
give him another chance!"
The people having expressed them-
selves, the meeting broke up. Golden
and Rogers were overwhelmed .villi
praise for their action in befriending
Ihe helpless (?), and Lang was as-
sisted homo on the shoulders of a
crowd of enthusiasts who were car-
ried away with the you.'h's marvelous
exhibition of skill in dunlin;.';. Schiller
was scarcely noticed when he took
himself from the amphitheater—a
beaten man. However ho v.-as not ono
to give up easily.
For a brief spell our party had a rest
from labor and worry. Golden, ac th i
request of Lang, was able to send a
letter written by the doctor to Mrs.
Huntington, notifying that, lady of
the safety of her husband and child.
Wilson was the only person who
was not made more comfortable than
before by ' the exposure of Schillcr.
Rogers would have pardoned him—or
had him pardoned—but Louis and Wil-
son both felt that it was better that
he remain in the mines as before. Wil-
son's place was an easy one, and his
privileges about as many as if not
confined at all. The two detectives
were in hopes that, he could be made
of assistance in gathering the con-
victs together and in furnishing ma-
terial with which the miners could
blow up the mines in making their
escape.
Dr. Huntington, when he was made
aware that his letter had been sent to
his wife, was at ease, comparatively,
and looked upon his detention as a
matter of no great, importance. He
gained the respect of the citizens by
his kindness and care in sickness and
was looked upon as a valuable acqui-
sition to the city. Dr. Huntington had
great hopes of ultimately being made
tree, of being allowed to return to
his wife. Somehow or other Pearl's
welfare did not seem to trouble him
much. There was something about
I.ang that forced the doctor to trust
our hero implicitly. As Schiller had
been somewhat restricted in power,
no fear was entertained from that
source.
