L. Kirby, the East Side Druggist, Shot His Son J. L. Kirby Through the Head 1 QUARRELLED mi DAY Both Had Been Drinking, Scuffled mid the Father ay s He Shot in Sell Defense. A tragedy which startled and shocked tho whole town, ended tho life of a young buBinoss man, locked tho brokon-hoartod father in jail and prostrated his family, occurred Tues day on tho oast side of tho square R. L. Ktrby, senior member of tho drug llrm of Klrby tc Son, shot and Instantly killed J. L. Klrby, tho junior partnor. Tho shooting occurred at tho roar end of tho storo about 0:30, tho father standing in tho roar room and tho son out on tho sldowalk. Tho doad man was removed to Culbert son's undertaking parlor and tho raurdoror was secured at his homo and locked up in tho county jail. All tho parties concerned In tho ter rible alTair aro comparative strangers here. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Klrby camo here a fow weeks ago from Eldo rado, Kansas, whore ho ran a drug storo. Thoy aro quiet, respectable people aged Jabout sixty yoars, and have won friends rapidly. Thoy had two boys Lesllo and Ralph, tho former about twenty-six yoars old, and tho younger about twenty-four. Both aro married and Lesllo, his wjfo and little girl lived with his paronts In tho house on north Jefferson avonuo Jorraorly owned by Mrs. Randolph. When tho family camo here, Mr. Klrby rented tho lower room of the now Dr. Garllnghouse building at tho cornor of JolTerson and East streets and put In a ilno lino of drugs and jewelry. Tho Jinn naino was Kirby fc Sons. Tho principals in tho affair being noarly total strangors, tho shooting occurring In tho prosenco of only ono witness, tho youngor son, and tho un expectedness of tho wholo thing have given rlso to couutloss versions. As noar as can bo learned tho shooting was unintentional. Young Kirby has auusedhls futhor trouble for years and largo sums of monoy have been Bpont in tho hopo of kcoplng him Btraight and out of trouble Ho was addicted to tho use of drugs and is known to havo been sullon and abusive toward members of his own family. Tuesday evening tho young man wont to tho storo, kicked things about in tho roar room, quarroled with his father and refused to go home to sup per, although it was thon after 0 o'clock. Ono report says ho holped hlrasolf to tho alcohol, another that he took money from tho drawer. Just boforo tho shooting ho stopped out on tho walk south of tho building and was sweeping tho pavement. A man who claims to havo be on standing within sixty foot of him says ho heard a shot and saw young Klrby staggor and fall. None of tho Klrbys would discuss tho affair, but from some source tho story startod that tho boy and bis father had scufiled lnsldo tho roar room, that tho boy tried to re enter, ho and his father jerking tho scrcon door back and forth. Then tho shot rang out, coming from inside tho building, and tho young man foil on tho walk, tho bullot having passed through his temples. Tho youngor brother ran out, placed, a pillow under his head, but ho died a fow moments later, Tho body was takon to an un dertaking parlor. Tho father had disappeared when the pollco arrived. W. J. Conloy was early on tho sceno with Elmer Ed wards. Thoy found tho young man dying and bosido his outstretched hand on tho walk lay a razor, closed. Sheriff Hobart soon appearod and with a constable wont to tho Kirby homo whore tho father was found. Ho had gono straight homo, informed his wjfo in a dnzod sort of way that "Loss s doad, I shot him," and went up stairs to his room. Mrs. Klrby is an Invalid, sick abod, and sho gave a scream when told tho nows. Her daughter-in-law, who had rotired up stairs, thinking sho was (111, hastily dretsod and ran down stairs. Sho was informed of tho death of hor Iiub band. Mr. Klrby also Informed her of the Bhootlng. "Less Is doad. I shot him. 1 didn't mean to, but ho startod at me with a razor and I pointed tho gun at him to Boaro him away. When tho offlcorB arrived thoy start od up stairs but were mot by Mr. Klrby, coming down. Ho gave him Helfup and was taken to tho jail, nearohod and locked up. As tho party left tho houso tho daughtor-ln-law, so recontly made a widow, seemed to volco tho fooling of tho family in tho hoart-brokon expression: "Poor JatUorl Poorfathorl" ,Jjg uifci&i4lU sL Tho RixusTEit doos not fool compe tent to sit in judgmont In this caso. Conflicting storlos aro circulating and tho truth is doubtloss known only to tho family. Thoro Is no milder man nered, moro genteel looking man In town than tho older Klrby. That ho should dollboratoly shoot to death his first-born son doos not scorn roasona blo, and ho was undoubtedly most Blncero In what ho told tho officers that ho wished ho had allowed tho boy to cut him to plccos with tho razor boforo ho pointed a gun at him. In soveral mattors It Is known that tho sons and fathor seemed to bo on the most affoctlonato and doforcntlal terms, Tho old man dropped a hint that tho .boy's actions had worried him for yoars and that ho had recent ly been driven almost wild. Tho fatal affair seems to bo tho tragic ending of a family troublo which has oxlstcd for yoars, unpro modltatcd, but nono tho less shocking and heartbreaking. County Attorney Goshorn stated next morning that no coroner'sl in quiry into tho shooting will bo hold, thoro boing no doubt ordisputo as to tho perpetrator. Tho older Kirby complained this morning of being Jslck at his stomach and thoolllcers bellovothatbo attempt ed to mako away with himself last night. In splto of tho ovident (terrible strain under which ho was laboring when ho was taken to tho jail ho , soon foil asleop. It is believed ho look a doso of somodrug in tho hopo of end ing his lifo, and cither took too littlo or too much. It is said ho told ono of tho doctors that ho would mako away with himself If ho got a chance. Tho doctors I who looked after tho corpse stato that tho bullet resulted In almost instant death. It ientercd tho loft tomplo, passing clear through his head. Tho boy's body was covered with tho littlo marks which indicated tho habitual uso of a hypodermic necdlo with which ho injected cocaino into hlmsolf. A needle was also found in his pockot. Noxt morning it was stated that tho dead man always carried his razor in his vest pocket and that possibly it foil to tho walk when ho dropped down. A young man who formerly went to school with Lesllo Kirby stated today that if over a son gavo his father troublo the. dead youth had given his father trouble. Soveral people havo been found by tho prosecuting attor ney who wero near tho drug storo at tho time of tho shooting. Baxter D. McClain has been retained by tho de- fonso as attornoy. Mrs. Klrby who has been ill is standing up under tho blow with cour ageous fortitudo, but Mrs. Lesllo Kirby is completely prostrated. Tho remains of tho dead man will bo taken to tho old homo at Tonganoxlo tomor row morning for burial. VIEWS OP ELDORADO PAPERS. As tho RnaiSTER stated In roportlng tho terriblo shooting affair In which Lesllo Kirby came to his doatb at tho hand of his fathor, Iola peoplo know too littlo about tho past history of tho family troubles to bo ablo to judge Intolligontly as to tho responsibility for tho tragic ending. As tho com ments of tho Eldorado papers, whero tho family lived before coming here, are significant, extracts from both aro given here. Tho Eldorado Republican says: "The Klrbys camo to Eldorado sov eral years ago, tho old gentleman buying tho cornor drug storo and two rosldenco properties. Tho father con ducted hlmsolf, whilo hero, liko a gon tleman. Tho boys wore inclined to bo tough, at times, boing periodical drinkers; and kept the fathor in a torment of holl much of tho time. Ralph ran a jewelry shop hero and it is said had reformed and was getting along all right. Both young mon wore married, Loslio was roported to havo been mixed up in a shooting scrape in Loavonworth boforo coming hero." The Eldorado Times says: "There is no sympathy manifested or oxprossed in El Dorado for tho dead man. Whilo hero ho was glvon to hard drinking and was a conllrmod usor of cocaino. Ills fathor had sent him to institutions for treatment sev eral times and had endoavored in every way to save his boy from des truction. Tho family lived In Ton- ganxlo before they camo to El Dorado. Ralph Klrby, tho other son, was also addlctod to drink but appreciated his father's kindness and took advantage of an opportunity to throw off tho habit. Ho had quit drinking and was behaving hlrasolf, but Mr. Klrby la borod with Loslio In vain. "Lesllo Klrby was of an antagon. istio naturo and whon angored exhibit' ed tho florcenoss of a wild animal. Ho was very aggrosslvo. On ono occas loo whon thoy wero In business bore, Loslio threatened his fathor'u llfo and attacked him. Ralph was taking his fathor's sldo of tho controversy and pulling out a gun shot at his brothor but tho bullot struck a button and glancod off. "It is said that Lesllo killed a nogro at Tangonxlo boforo coming to El Dorado. "Public opinion In El Dorado seems to bo unanimous, everybody express ing tho bollof that it la hotter that i .. vaf-.A; aA: afj-jftfi dhl i i ' ' t- -r .'! u,fcliCnYu M a Loslio Is doad but that It is rcgrotablo lhat it should bo his fathor who killed bin? Much sympathy is oxprossed for ho old gontlcman who has had a much troubled lifo with so many shadows in his declining yoars." And tho Loavonworth Times, having knowledge of tho parties by reason of boing closo to Tonganoxlo, says: "T. P. Klrby, for 25 years or moro tho loading druggist of Tonganoxlo shot and instantly killed his son Loslio Tuesday night in Iola, Kansas, Tho body of tho dead man will bo brought to Tonganoxlo today for burial. "T P. Klrby was very well known in Leavenworth city and county and was regarded as an upright, rospect ablo man. Tho son was very wild for years and has jdrank hoavlly. Somo four or flvo years ago ho killed a col ored man in Tonganoxlo. His fathor was woll fixed financially aud suc ceeded In saving him from tho penl tontiary. "But tho troublo was moro than tho father could stand. Ho sold out his drug storo in Tonganoxlo and went to Eldorado. A fow weeks ago ho wont to Iola and opened up a lino drug storo under tho llrm name of Klrby fc Sons. "Loavonworth peoplo who know T. P. Kirby and his dead son say thoy cannot bcllovo but that tho killing was douo In self defense. Tho old man did everything in his power for tho boy. Tho lattor, it is said, not only drank hoavlly but used cocaino and othor drugs. County Clerk Nlohaus has beon well acquainted with T. P. Kirby since 1872." Another Good Crop Story Tho RnaiSTnn tukos tho keenost ploasuro in importing the success o Allen county farmers with their crops, uui ii expects to nave to wait somo) t mo .beforo it can equal tho roport made by Abo Townsend, who tills tho soil on tho Noosho river up on Horse shoo Bend. This year Townsend has tomatoes, cabbage, sweotpotatoes and fruit ga lore, tho crops being most luxuriant. He had olgbtecn acres in potatoes, part of which ho saved from high water by dyking tho patch. Ho will mako large profits this year, but .last year, tho drouthy one, whon all seemed a falluro In Kansas, brought him tho greatest profit of any of his tvventy-thrco years' cxporiono. As a samplo of his mothods and re sults, he kopt track of ono two-acro patch. This ho planted to potatoes, laying tho same by in duo season. The potatoes made 54 bushels per acre, una no soiu tnom for 81 a bushel, thus gotting 8108 off that crop When ho laid tho potatoes by ho had planted !)0-day corn botweon tho rows. Tho harvest was 28 bushols per acre. which ho soldthls spring forseed ntian averago;of $1.25 a bushol. Total $70. Whon tho potatoes wero dug ho sowed turnips between tho rows of corn. Ho harvested 270 bushols of turnips from the two acres, soiling tho same at an avorago of 30 conts a bushel, or;$82.80. Tho foddor of tho corn crop ho sold for thlrty-flvo cents a shock, or for $11.20. Tho total profit off tho two acres was $272, or $13(i per. aero. How Is that for a dry year in Allon county, Kansas!

IIcmv (lip IMfllrultlta nml lUmuHnn- tnitcd uf Hume lUitilt'N Have llccti Overrumc Iiy I'nirlnvcrii, Ab the iron track is bound to forco its wuy Into most corners of the world, It is nut surprising that Home Hues of railway exist which uru strik ing evidence of a Hiugtilurly bold con ception carried out in the face of obstacles which seemed almost In surmountable, says tho London (llobe. Sometimes the route of tho future line lies across a desert; then tho grout law of the "compensation of nature" seems to mnkc itself felt, for to bnluuco tho saving of time nnd money duo to the fact that long tun nels will not have to be cut through hills or mountains the engineers ure confronted by the total absence! of three essential elements of construc tion, namely, wood, iron nnd water, which have to bi transported along tho ncwjy-luid line as It stretches its slow length across tho desert. Itus hIh's Trans-Caspian railway, now known as tho Cent nil Asian railway, was built under these conditions; thousands of logs of timber were needed, nnd the region traversed can not boast of a singlo tree for more than 700 miles. This timber wns re quired for building tho long bridge, two miles in length, over tho river Amu-Darya. This bridge was always tho weak point In that highly-Impor tant railway, and it haH been replaeed recently by a htonc bridge, lletvveen Merv nnd Charjul tho line hud to be carried over shifting sands CI feet deep. When the work is being car ried out in such regions the trains become a littlo tovui on whccN. They aro composed of two-storied wngons which contnin grocers' stores nnd forges. As the Trims-Siberian rnilvvay grew in length it was resolved by the authorities that the workmen should havo their own "church cnr." A wngon was fitted up accordingly ns a church, with n littlo peal of hells in tho alcove abovo tho entrance. Tho romance of mountain railways by no means ends with their con struction, nnd traveling upon rail ways at a very high altitude Is not a thing to bo desired. The 1'eruvlnn lino running from Cnllao to Oroya hni a twofold claim to distinction; it is built, at probably the greatest altitude of an existing railway, name ly, 15,'JOC feet abovo sea level, nnd it affords travelers certainly the most unpleasant "experience do voy age." that can be Imagined. As tho result of traveling nt such an alti tude, the passengers begin by feel ing great oppression, accompanied by pains in tho head and limbs; these nre quickly followed by bleed ing from the nose and mouth, nnd then by momentary blindness. It Is gratifying to know that thero is a certain variety in the effects pro duced upon passengers nt this point. Tims, while some persons are scled with giddiness1, others entertain strange hallucinations nnd others faint away; tho last class become so weak that any unduo exertion on their part often proves fatal. Hut this is not nil that ono has to under go on the Cnllao & Oroya line. In One course the skin becomes irritn blo and sores break out, whilo tho lips swell nnd then crnclc. On ono of theso trans-Andes rail ways tho passengers havo to enter the train in a most peculiar nnd probably unique manner. The line referred to is that in the port of Mollcndo, in Peru. Tho line starts from tho quayside, aud the traveler can pass from the boat into the trnin. Unfortunately tho boat can not be brought completely alongside tho quay. Disdaining the usual gang way, l'cruvlnn Ingenuity hit upon a very novel idea. Two largo uprights, with n strong crossbar, were erected on the quay, nnd from tho crossbar hangs an ordinary trnpec. Tho pas senger wishing to land has to seize tho bar of this trapeze; a few, sail ors surround him, nnd, when he gives tho word, they unlto In hurling him into space over tho ship's side. One such "send-off" is qulto enough, for with ono swing the traveler conies to land in the outstretched arms of the railway porters. It Is only right to add that both the sailors and the porters evince an amount of energy, delight nnd dexterity qulto equal to tho nervousness of their victims. Civilized lllrtli-Hnte. Turning to the births, which num bered 027,002 in 1000, tho most prom inent fact that meets us is the contin ued decline in the rate. This is more significant when taken in connection with the increase in the masrloge rate, Tho fact "gives furiously t'o think." We nre in the hnblt of speaking of the French ns a decadent people who have censed to increase and multiply. But tho truth is that a declining birth rate Is not peculiar to France. It is with us, also, and with the Germans in n less degree. In some parts of Kng land the birth-rate now perilously ap proximates the death-rate. Taking tho country ns a whole we have still a sub stantial difference; but if tho present tendencies continue to operate that difference will not bo obvious long. It would seem that the moro advanced the civilization tho greater tho disposi tion to sterility, and ono of the, most potent factors in the South African probelm is the remarkable fecundity of tlio Boers nscomparedwlth our own race.

Tho gamo is a survival of tbo fittest and so Novada, tho leaders, unfeelingly took tho first two games from Iola, not oven permitting tho games to bo close. Tho first gamo wont as follows: U II K Novada 10321020 2-11 13 2 Iola 00002040 00 8 7 Morgan pltchcdfor Iola and Harvoy caught, Kuran having a soro arm. Tho wretched support given Morgan, thoro wero seven errors behind him, tells tho talo of tho overwhelming do foat. Skldmor, tho Ft. Riloy twlrler recently playing with Humboldt, was tried out by Novada. Ho was pounded freoly all over tho lot but tho fast Holding bohind him hold down tho runs. In tho soventh inning, however, tho Iola buuch began to land safely and sccuro four runs. Novada im mediately put in Red Morton and the scoro getting was over. But for those awful errors tho gamo would havo been a closo a no. Tho result of Sunday's gamo hero was about as expected. Tho visitors got throo runs several times nftcr tho sldo should havo been retired. But for lnoxcusablo, wild, oft-repeated, amateurish errors It would havo been a closo gamo. Tho crowd groaned or guyed ns tho mood moved it, Bruncr, tho uraplro, camo In for a goodly amount of roasting, his decisions giv ing satisfaction to neither side. By innings tho gamo wont thus: II II E Nevada 30400420 0-13 1 1 3 Iola 010000111 4 0 8 Mlllsap pitched afalr'y good game, but was vory wild, having soveral wild pitches and numerous bases on balls. Then ho lot down and lobbed them over, whilo Novada fattened her batting average. Probably tho worst gamo of ball yet witnessed at tho homo grounds was that of Monday . Both teams wero in bad form and made lnoxcusablo er rors. Red Morton tho successful pitcher of Novada got Into a jangle with somo of his mon with tho result that ho struck nlco straight ones over the plate and grinned pleasantly whon tho homo team knocked them all over tho fair grounds. Fast fielding alone prevented tho Iola boys from making a big scoro. Thon Morton was taken out and Torrio put in. Novada began hitting and tho Haul scoro was about as usual. Hero is tho gamo by innings: It. H.

Joplln has been playing good ball of late, winning two out of threo games from Scdalln, so it was not a victory from finding a broken up toam, Holnzo was in tho box for Iola, Mlllsap on first, Hipport on second, McCloar, tho now shortstop se cured by Jlramlo Manning, on short, Schaumyer on third. Hoiuz was a littlo afraid of wlldncss, owing to having not pitched for somo vveoks, so ho stuck to his straight, fast bull, and did not uso his quick drop. But ho didn't need to. Only four safo hits wero secured from his delivery and not an oarned run was mado. Unfor tunatoly Iola had four errors elso It would have been a shut-out gamo. Tho score by Innings was as fol lows: R. II. E. Joplln 180101000-3 4 I lolu 00302 000 X-S 8 4 Bort Dunn pitched for Joplln, tho same Bort who boat Iola boforo and, Fatty Meoks oaught. Meoks got two of Joplln's four safo hits. Those who saw tho game did not recognlzo tho Iola team. GIngor! Tho Hold was full of It all the timo and tho boys played fast, snappy ball. Harvey caught a good gamo bohind the bat and tho now shortstop showed up woll, fielding finely and getting two safo hits, Again Wednesday tho Iola ball toam wont on the uiaraond with glngor in their blood aqd confidence in thoir hearts. It was the second gamo with Joplin, Morgan pitching for Iola nnd Reust, tho crack mow Joplln pitcher, twirling itav tho visitors. Tho fire n ii'iini'ii I I nniii works opened promptly nnd .Topliu scored ono run in tho first, but Iola camo right back by getting two. Thon tho gooso !oggs appeared regularly until tho fourth when Joplin tied tho scoro, Ifor thrco innings both sides wero retired without scoring, but it required somo fast fielding by both teams to accomplish this. Hoinz mado two fino running catches in right field and I McKlbben, tho 'now short-stop pulled down a fust safe hit which was bounding llorcoly closo by second baso on its way out into tho wild open country. Tho grand stand cheered tho lino play. In tho eighth, with two men out and two on basos Mlllsap had tho bad luck to havo a hot ono hit to him which went right between his logs. Two men scored. That was tho ond of tho run getting and Joplln won, 4 to 2. If Jimmy Drlscoll had had his club in tho gamo Iola might easily huvo won. Several times thoro wero two men on baso3 Iwith but ono out and yot nobody got around. Roust is a i left-handed pltchorl and has been doing somo fino execution for Joplln lately.
