A UNIQUE hold-up was executed in Ktosaa a few days ago. Forty Ruah county farmers stopped a fast express train on the Missouri Pacific in an effort to engage harvest hands. They went through the train and accoeted every male passenger, ffladay to all who would go to work. Several Harvard students accepted their offer. Harvest hands an in great de mand in Kanaas and in some sections the situation la growing desperate. The Deadly Toy Pistol Muat Go. | For several days prior to the Fourth The Inquirer aod other newspapers published articles warning the public j against the U6e of the deadly toy pistol aa a means of increasing the clamor of j the celebration then impending. Store j keeperswere informed that it was against the law for them to sell these highly dangerous weapons or explosives of any kind to minors, and they were reminded that if they did so they would subject themselves to the penalty which the law prescribes. Parents were urged to forbid their children from incurring the risk which the handling of a toy pistol involves, and an effort was made to imprees them with the importance of taking care that their orders were obeyed. In, fact ev erything that was possible was done to prevent what subsequently happened. Either people did not read, or they de liberately disregarded, the warnings ad dressed to them, for the ravages of the toy pistol were more extensive than ever, and scarcely a day passes without adding the name of some fresh victim to the melancholy list Tetanus, or lockjaw, as it is populat ly called, which wounds inflicted by the toy pistol are in spite of every precau tion apt to occasion, is one of the most dreadful of all the diseases to which hu manity is subject, and it is absolutely incurable. Death invariablj follows the indescribable tortures by which its course is attended. It is a common idea that the end comes through the inabili ty of the sufferer to take food conse quent upon the locking of the jaws, but this is an error The malady is one which primarily affects the nervous system. It causes the most frightful spasms, which occur with increasing rapidity until dissolution ensues. There Is no more agonizing death. Every one will agree that the moet stringent measures should be taken to save any human being from such a fate, and the best thing to do to that end is to enforce the law which forbids the ■ale of the toy pistol to persons nnder age. Store-keepers who sell toy pistols to children should be held to a strict acconnt. It will be the duty of the District Attorney to institute criminal proceedings in the cases in which the Coroner shall direct his attention. That may bear hard upon the individual, but it is the only way to protect the com munity from a great and growing evil. —lnquirer. Liberty and License. The appellate division of the N. Y. Supreme Court has just decided, by a vote of three to two, a question which haa been vigorously debated since the Northern Securities decision. Broadly it is whether a combination of men have the right to do as they please with their own property. The particular case was that of the book trust, compris ing 95 per cent of tbe publishers of the' country, which had sought to compel a department store to adhere to the re tail price list fixed by the trust by re fusing to sell to it otherwise. The store asserted its right to buy the books at the regular wholesale prices and to sell them for what it pleased. The court decided against the trust upon the ground that to uphold its position wonld be to countenance a monopoly in restraint of trade, thus recognizing the righto of the public as being as vitally involved aajthose of either the publishers or the sellers. The argument in favor of individual liberty, so frequently put forward by tbe promoters of tbe railroad merger and the combinations, seems to mistake license for liberty. It would be well to remember tbe old-faabioned distinction that true liberty does not infringe upon the rights of others.—Dispatch. EMERSON said "Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come np with a man'a limitations it is all over with him. Has he talentaT Has he enterprise? Has he knowledge? It boots not Infinitely alluring and at" tractive was be to you yesterday, a great hope, a sea to swim in; now you have found it a pond, and yon care not if you see It again." Jaws Unlocked by Antitoxin. A rare operation was performed on Willie Graham, a 5-year-old boy suffer ing from lockjaw, the result of a Fourth of July accident, at the hospital in Ml Vernon N. Y, last Monday, Dr Weiss opened the boy's skull and in jected anti-toxin into his brain to kill the tetanus germs. The operation was witnessed by a half dozen prominent physicians. Dr. Weiss says he has strong nope for the boy's recovery. Young Graham was shot in the palm of the band with a blank cartridge from a toy pistol. He developed the aymptona of lockjaw on Friday. His neck became stiff and he went into con vulsions. Then his jaws became lock ed. The family sent for Dr. Weiss and he advised the operation as the only resort to save the child's life. Young Graham's skull was trepanned and the antitoxin which is manufac tured from the blood of horses, admin istered. Soon the little fellow's cheeks began to redden, bis jaws relaxed and he fell into a heavy sleep. CHUKCH NOTES. Six members were added to the Grace Lutheran church, last Sunday. Bey.

This story is told of a Scotch preacher who gave his people long, strong ser | mons, and delivered them in a remark : ably deliberate manner. One Sunday ■ be asked a friend who was visiting him to occupy bis pulpit in the morning. I "An' were you satisfied wi' my : preaching?" asked his friend, as they ! walked home from the kirk ; "Weel," said his host, slowly, "it was I a fair discoorse.Will'm, a fair discoorse; ' but it pained me at the last to see the folks looking so fresh and wide awake , I mistrust 'twaana sae long nor sae sound as it should bae been."—Youth's Companion.

He kept a restaurant there and has lately been despondent. Some iron grill work for the elevator of the Butler County National Bank came near squashing ba«gagemaster Garnell of the B. &O. last week. As the train rounded a sharp curve on the branch it toppled over upon and bruised him. At Denver. Col. Monday, the big tent in which the Christain Endeavor convention was being held, wag blown over by a storm. Eight thousand people were in the tent at the time and thongh several were injured, none were seriously hurt. Joseph Cohn. aged 9 years, a son of A. H. Cohn of Elm St. Butler, died at Sharon, last Thursday, from lock-jaw caused by a wound from a toy pistol, which he received while celebrating the 4th at Corry, with some boy friends. He was buried at Pittsburg. The case was a very sad one Joseph was burned by the powder from the cap and came in complaining of it. His mother sent him to a doctor who dressed it and gave directions bow to treat it. He also went to the doctor several times and the hand seemed to be getting along nicely. The bov declared that it gave him no paiti. On Tuesday morn ing Mrs. Cohn started for Sharon to visit another sister. On getting on the train Joseph complained of his back hurting him. On arriving at Sharon he was unable to walk and bad to be carried to the home of bis friends, where medical aid was summoned, and all was done for the little fellow that was possible, but no relief could be given him. The doctors told Mrs. Cohn that the boy had lock jaw and his life could not be saved. He suffered great agony and died after 40 hours illness. Kennedy on Sunday Closing. The Butler Ministerial Association, at its July meeting, framed a petition to Burgess Kennedy, asking that he en force the Sunday closing law, especially toward confectionery and cisar stores and soda fountains on Main street and Mr. Kennedy replied as follows: "Please be consistent Why ask the dispenser of soda water or a toby to re linquish his trade while the Mayor of Greater Butler keeps open house with a fine lot of horses at the service of the public seven days in the week? Why ask the man with big rent on Main street who has hard enough time getting along to cnt down his sales and leave the Standard Steel Car Company alone? Why is supplying means to quench the public thirst not a matter of public good when the Butler street railway lines are ready to take yon to the park to cool? "There are also within the borough limits oil men working more than 12 hours a day who hardly know what Sunday is or when it comes, and yet some oil magnates are called philan thropists. "As Mayor I will enforce the laws in existence, but will not make new ones that will lead the outside world to think I am a fossil or belong to a past genera tion. If action must be taken on the Sunday question and that action the closing of the soda water stores, the Ministerial Association is referred to the District Attorney for aid in the cause." Birthday Surprise. On July 7th the friends and relatives of Mr. Israel Shafler of Franklin twp. gathered at his home—the object beins to celebrate Mr. Shaffer's birthday. Early in the day the company began to arrived with well filled baskets, and greetings of good will and best wishes for our nigbly respected neighbor. Bv twelve o'clock a table was erected/ in tbe shady grounds and a sumptuous 1 dinner was served. Guests were wait *d upon by a willing committee of young folks. After dinner the meeting was cnlled to order by Robert Barron, Esq. and W. B. Cnrrie was appointed chairman i and Verda M. Currie, secretary. After a brief prayer by Rev. Erby of Zion Baptist church, addresses were made by Mr. John Weigle, J. C. Snyder Rev. Erby and W. B. Ctirrie. From these talks it was learned that our neighbor, Mr. Shaffer, is the oldest citizen born and raised in this school district; also since onr "bees" are no longer necessary, these gatherings were highly recommended as a means of bringing farmers into eloper fellowship with each other, and in keeping them them in sympathy with their brother workmen. The crowd was then dismissed to en joy themselves in social intercourse, nntil the western sky reminded the fanners that evening chores awaited them, when all departed thinking a day well spent and wishing Mr. Shaffer many happy retnrns. _ SECRET ARV. Pope Leo's I'oein on Death. When in 1807 the Pope felt the shadow of death beginning to fall npon him. he wrote the following line*, which are considered among bis strong est works: The Westering snn draws near his cloady bed, Leo, and gradual darkness veils thy head: The slnggish life blood in thy withered veins More slowly runs its course —what then remains?
