TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. 1 t?'- i i 7 A' 7 1 1 i ft A TALE OF HORROR Told By Teachers and Employes at the Reform School. Boys Beaten and Maltreated by Supt. Hitchcock. CASES AKE CITED. Boys Lashed With Eawhides on the Naked Skin. Others Are Starved and Confined in Dungeons. Hitchcock Described as Brutal and Ignorant. There is more trouble at the Reform school, and trouble of a serious nature at that. If half the present charges are true the superintendent of that institu tion is a brutal man indeed, and has no business in the position which he occu pies. About 4 o'clock yesterday E. W. Jus tice, a teacher at the institution, came to the state house, saying that he could en dure the situation at the Reform school no longer. Three weeks ago E. W. Justice ten dered his resignation, refusing longer to serve under Hitchcock. The state board of charities requested him to stay until the conduct of that institution might be investigated. Since then Justice says Hitchcock has made his life miserable. Yesterday the superintendent issued an 1 order summarily removing Justice, and appointed the shoemaker, whose name is Clark, in his place. Justice came at once to the city and called upon Governor Lewelling, Attorney General Little and other state officers. He made charges of a very serious nature against Superin tendent Hitchcock, which the board of charities will be asked to consider. Hoys Lashed on Their Rare ISsckif. About four weeks ago, it is charged, Hitchcock heard a little disturbance in the bath room, where four boys ranging from ten to lifteen years of age were bathing. He pounced down on the boys and wjih a raw hide whipped them un mercifully ou thir bare bodies. Justice, who was just outside the room, had heard no disturbance. Large welts were raised on the backs of the boys by the chastise ment. A short time afterwards another boy under Justice waa whipped in the same manner. Another instance of extreme cruelty is that charged in the case of Ym. Moon ey. The boy was working in the sewer on Friday, several weeks ago. Friday afternoon Mooney went into the tunnel and hid in the hope of escape. He stayed there Friday night and all day Saturday and was discovered and cap tured Saturday evening by Ed. Post, one of the teachers. He took Mooney to a room and was about to give him some food, as the boy had eaten nothing pince Friday noon. Hitchcock appeared on the scene about this time and said angrily "not a bite of food shall he have," and ordered him locked in the dungeon, a close, miserable room about 6x12 feet. Next morning ho was given food, but nothing more until Sunday evening. He was kept in the dungeon about a week before he was considered sufficiently punished for his infraction. Decibel ngr the Board. David Den if. an is another boy who was sent to the dungeon after being whipped by the superintendent. When the board of charities visited the institution, one of the teachers said, "Hitchcock had Den man taken from the dungeon, dressed and put among the boys in his. class. After they were gone he was returned to the place of confinement and kept there for several days." A short time ago the superintendent went to Cherokee county on a few days visit, and while he was absent Mrs. Hitchcock was in charge. She summoned the women of the institution and gave them some orders. Mrs. W. "VV. Wiley, the wife of one of the teachers, took ex ceptions to Mrs. Hitchcock's manner and resigned her position of housekeeper in one of the cottages. When the superin tendent returned he gave Mrs. Wiley a better petition. The men who are press ing the charges say that this was done to court Wiley's favor, in view of the pend ing investigation. Depends Wholly on Force. A teacher in the institution Raid? "Hitchcock doesn't use anything but force and ne is urnorant and inhuman. Ha never attempts to develop the better na ture of the boys. He interferes with the teachers, aud will countermand orders they make the day after they are made." If the state board of charities refuses to remove Hitchcock an investigation will be demanded of the governor at once. The charges have been formulated, and Noah;" Allen will appear before the board of charities today or tomorrow and demand the removal of Superinten dent E. C. Hitchcock. D. T. Jones, an officer on the Topeka police force, Was discharged by Hitch cock some time ago. Jones was the en gineer and his wife the laundress. Jones said Hitchcock was ignorant and cruel, and he will be a party to the charges presented. Wt Cialveston Harbor Poshed. Demvkr, April 13. The chamber of commerce has adopted resolutions urging Colorado's representatives in congress to use their influence to have the work in Galveston harbor pushed to completion, "so that the products of the 6tates west of the Mississippi river may be shipped to the markets of the world." Lon" Wiggin and Hattie Wigein, his wife, charged with burglarizing a house east of town and carrying awav house hold articles valued at 08, were bound over by Justice Furry today in the sum f 45500 each, which they furnished. JIISS POLLAl.. DAY. Attorney Wilson Asked to "Plead for the Dear Younc Girls." Washington, April 13 Judge Jere M. Wilson was complimented today by the presence of a large audience of his cul leages and of members of congress to hear his reply to the attacks of CoL Phil Thompson upon his client and the elo quent appeals of Major Ben Butter worth. A startling thing had been urged on the defendant's behalf, he said, viz: That this case in all its revelations should not have been brought. "Mr. Butterworth ha3 said that we are to blame for spreading pollution through this country. If what this defendant has confessed on the stand be true, it is pos sible that such things are to be redress ed. Is it possible that in the sunlight of bur civilization there is no redress? You can not tie a mill-stone around his neck and sink him in the sea for the fishes to feed upon; you can not shut him in a cage and double lock it to keep him from poilutiug the women of the country; you can not do that, but you can secure the redress that the laws of the laud have provided. "I suppose my friend Butterworth would say that if the third count in this indictment be true, he would banish the woman and send the man to congress. I stand here for higher womanhood. I stand here to demand the same standard from woman and man. I stand against such sentiments as this defendant has uttered, that such baseuess injures the man, but destroys the woman. Would the jury say that this defendant was to be admittedto their parlors and the outer gates locked and barred against the womanT" Here Mr. Wilson produced a sheet of letter paper and said that he could im agine the mothers of the land sitting up writing such letters as the imaginary one he would read. Of course it was sim ply imaginary, he said, but every one could see the feminine hand-writing as the judge held it up, and everyone knew that it was one letter from the corres pondence he has received during the triaL It was in part as follows: 'Plead for the dear young girls. I cannot but feel how urgent it is for every one to watch and pray for them constantly. I was left in the w-orld young to care for myself and 1 can re member how men have tried to rob me of all that was worth living for. I have lived a pure life, because I early took the Lord for my guide, and if I had not come close to Him the way would have been very hard." WHERE THE LAW IS "WEAK it Doesn't Seem to Protect People on Soldiers Home Grounds. Judge J. A. Riner, in the federal court today, made an important ruling. It was in the case of John Bozcniau and Henry Harkins, from the National Soldiers' home at Leavenworth,-who are charged respectively with assault with intent to kill", and assault and battery. They were indicted by the grand jury in their first return made to the court, and they en gaged J. J. Hitt to defend them. Mr. Hitt took a demurrer to the indictment on the ground that there is no law cov ering assaults on government grounds where the state has ceded jurisdiction, as is the case at the Leavenworth home. Judge Riner sustained the demurrer and quashed the indictment, holding that there was no provision in the feder al court for cases of assault, the law pro viding that in such cases the laws of the state shall be operative. The judge held that the ceding of jurisdiction, as was the case at the soldiers' home, left a very de fective law, as the result of which an as sault on the grounds of the soldiers' home or similar places can not be punished in either the state or federal courts. aEM0CRATI0EDIT0RS.

Republicans Hoot Them for Sot lifting Abls to Get a Quorum. Washington, April 13. The struggle over the adoption of the new rule to se cure a voting quorum was resumed when the house met today. The Repub licans made a preliminary stand against the approval of the journal. As soon as it had been read Mr. Boutelle jumped to his feet and objected and when Mr. Dockery moved its approval, the Repub licans sat silent in their seats. The prospec. of a quorum today was hopeless, and as it had been agreed to call a Democratic caucus to consider the rules, Mr. Dockery moved an adjourn ment and at 1 o'clock the house adjourn ed. The announcement of the caucus read from the clerk's desk was greeted with loud Republican cheers and jeers. 0 Emperor William in Vienna. Vienna, April 13. Emperor William arrived here today and was welcomed at the southern railroad station by Emperor Francis Joseph, ten arch dukes, the heads of the civil and military depart ments, the municipal authorities and by the German embassy and its staff. F. J. Rieger, a young German living near Tecumseh, has left suddenly for parts urnown to avoid being lynched by his neighbors.

He the It is Said That He Has Gone Ahead To Arrange For Provisions for His Followers. GO THROUGH KANSAS. Kelly'sCommonweal to Stop One Day in Denver, Then to Come East Over Union Pacific the TOPEKA TO SEE THEM. Will Go Through This City Monday or Tuesday. Addison, Pa., April. 13. The men in the army of the commonweal were early astir and joyously basked in the sun that for the second time in a week' arose clear and warm. The members of the army had a cozy nook in which to sleep, being Augustine's commodious barn. While a number dropped to sleep on the lirst floor the majority preferred the upper berth in the hay mow and enjoyed a comfortable sleep. Breakfast waa served at 7:30 o'cloctc, an hour earlier than has been the custom, by reason of a proposed earlier start of the caravan. The tramp today was through the high est portion of the Allegheny. This is the point where snow falls in July. While Gen. Coxey has very suddenly and quietly disappeared, it is not thought he has abandoned his cause. It is an nounced that his leaving was for the pur pose of looking after supplies, although Marshal Browne, in a general order, an nounces that they are already sufficient to feed the men to the Potomac. It is no secret that there has been a decided clash of authority .between Coxey, Browne and Smith, who is termed the "Un known." The latter thoroughly detest each other and it is not infrequent that they have a wordy passage at arms along the line of march. Browne's Daily Address. Lieutenant Browne today issued the following "general order." "Comrades: You have not only won the respect of every admirer of the heroic' but you have demonstrated in still more forcible manner the fact that you are not the lazy and vicious class that some of the newspapers brand you. On the con trary, you have proved pourself worthy of the proudest name on the roll of nations. "When I asked you if you if you felt like going out in the blinding snowstorm up the steep slope of the mountains, not knowing where you were to camp any more than myself, I confess I expected to see you falter. But every one of you responded except poor Frank Miller, commune C, group 16, a Pittsburg mill hand. He was too sick to go through, and was taken to a hospital. That the wind is sometimes tempered to the shorn lamb is exemplified in our unfortunate camp. "You need fear nothing more severe than you have experienced, on the rest of the journey, and when you reach the other side of the mountains your names will be emblazoned on the scroll of fame, As Henry V said to his men after the battle of Agincourt, you names will be as familiar as household words." Mary landers Oreatly Alarmed. Baltimore, April 13. A special to the Sun from Frederick, Md, says: The people of Frederick are becoming very much exercised over the statement made by lion. Jere Jackson of Chicago, who passed through Frederick for Washing ton a day or two ago. Jackson said the Coxey army of which he claimed to be the advance guard, would pass through Frederick the 22nd or 23 of this month. Many persons speaking upon the sub ject say the governor of Maryland ought to prevent this influx of undesirable men to the state. If the Coxeyites ever reach Washington, Maryland will not only suffer by the passage through of it of the army, but will be the disbanding place of men from all sections of the country. The probability of the army invading Maryland is made more certain by the non-action of the governors of other states, who seem to act wisely in not only speeding the army through their states, but in giving them all the recruits possible. ROYAL WELCOME AT CHEYEXSE. Bakers Work All Night Baking: Bread for Gen. Kelly's Army. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 13. The In dustrial army under Gen. Kelly break fasted to-day at Red Buttes, the first sta tion east of Laramie. Cheyenne will supply the next meal. All the bakers in town have been working all night bak ing bread and 1,500 loaves and three beeves will be given the army when it reaches here. The general desire of the army is to be taken to Denver, and while the route after leaving here has not been definite ly decided upon, it is probable that Den ver will be the objective point. Dispatches from Union Pacific officers who are on the industrial special train state that the men are orderly. The army will reach here at 3 o'clock today. COMING THROUGH KANSAS. Kelly's Army Determines to Come Through this State Going: East. Laramie, Wyo., April 13. Kelly'a army has decided to go to Denver, stop one day and then go to Kansas City, where they expect help from the Popu lists. They will reach Denver oa Saturday morning-. A CALL FOR TROOPS. They Are Wanted at Dunbar, Fa., to Corn the Coke Strikers. IIa:r:ri8:btjh.g, Pa., April 13. A call has been received at the executive depart ment from Dunbar, in the Coke regions, for troops. The situation in the southern end of the region is said to be -critical, while in the southern district the works are grad ually in operation. A dispatch from Pittsburg says that Chairman Frick and Secretary Lovejoy, of the Frick coke company, have re ceived no information that would indi cate the necessity for calling on the troops. .The Pittsburg dispatch says: A message received at the executive department late last night from L. W. R. Wister ifc Co., of Dunbar owners of the Dunbar furnace, stating that the situation justi fies the governor in calling out the troops. The firm complains that their men are willing to work, but that they are intimi dated and obstructed by the strikers. Governor Pattlson is in Pittsburg to day. -There is nothing at the adjutant general's office to indicate that the troops will be called out. Private Secretary Tate intimates that the executive will not call out the state guard unless the sheriff of Fayette county notified him that he has exhausted his' power to pre serve peace, and asks the assistance of the military. ALL EXCITEMENT. Steeples and Towers Black With People Armed With Spy Glasses. Usiontown, Pa., April 1& The south ern section of the coke fields has been the headquarters of the strikers today, and between 400 and 500 armed men have been marching through the regions sur rounding the towns since daylight. The excitement has been at hijhwater mark and the towers and steeples have been black with people who. with glasses are watching the actions of the mob. ERIE'S AiiMY. It Arrives at Vandalia Where the City Supplies It. Vandalia, Ills., April 13. The first California regiment of the United States industrial army, numbering about 400 men, under the command of Gen. Frye, arrived in Vandalia this afternoon. The army presents a desti tute appearance. By an act of the city council, provis ions sufficient for the meals will be pro vided for them. UKY MAY SLIP THROUGH Although He Seem Eqally Guilty With the Other Men. .The three men who are charged with burglarizing a Rock Island freight car last Friday night and stealing twenty dozen overalls, were given their preliminary hearing before Justice Chesney this morning, and they were bound over to the district court in the sum of $500 each. The men who are bound over are Charles Anderson, Sam Levy and James Herrington. The evidence against the accused men was complete,. Officers Owen, Blumenstock, Capron Arterbridge and Hicks told of the arrest of the men and the discovery of the gbeda The foreman of the Rock Island freight depot at Kansas City, was on hand with papers to show that the consignment in question was sent by freight to Schilling Bros', at Herington, last Friday afternoon; and the freight agentat Herington said that when an inventory of the car was made it was short one case of dry goods. After consultation with their attorneys, Joe Ensminger and W. E. Dom, the men decided that anything they might say would be of no avail, so they waived the testimony for the de fense. J. C. Ury of Topeka, who is the fourth man involved in the robbery, is being examined this afternoon. The original charge against him, that of larceny, was withdrawn and another complaint which charges him with receiving stolen good3, has been filed in its place. A STRIKE ORDERED On the Great Northern Koad by the American Hallway Union. Minneapolis, Minn., April 13. A spe cial to the Journal from Spokane Falls, Wash., says: A general order has been received here to all members of the American Railway union employed on the Great Northern to stop work today at noon. The order says: "Do not go to work until the restoration "of wages paid in August, 1893," and is signed by J. Hogaa and Roy Goodwin, committee. Aoout 150- men are affected here. It is be lieved they will obey and trouble is anti cipated. Both employes and officials of the road In the Twin City deny that any strike has been ordered, or that there will be one. They know of no order to strike, nor of any disagreement between the company and its employes. Ordered West or Minola.N. D. St. Paul, April 13. One of the local officers of the American railway men's union says that a strike has been ordered on the present Great Northern railway west of Minola, N. D., unless the com pany agreed to the men's terms by 1 o'clock to-day. The eastern division is not yet organized for a strike. He be lieves the company will temporize and thereby prevent an immediate strike. HOT AGAINST HILL. Democratic National Committeemen Do Not Lilte His speech. Washington, April 13. The Examiner has sent telegraphic requests to the chairman of the Democratic national committee of the various representative states requesting expressions of opinion on the attitude of Senator Hill, of New York, toward the Democratic party. The representatives show an almost unanimous sentiment in opposition to Senator Hill's course. Some of them as Bert that he is no longer a Democrat, and advise him to join the Republican party, whose policy of protection he so unad visedly upholds. A minority of the answers attempt to laud or excuse Sena tor Hill, while a few decline to express an opinion. Uen. Sloeum Minkins Fast. Brooklyn, N. Y., April 13. Gen. H. W. Slocum is weaker today. He had a sinking spell last night. AHOTHERJICTOBY. Judge Dundy Orders Former Wagres Restored To Union Pacific Employes at All Points. SOME SHARP WORDS. Says Judge Caldwell Misstated the Facts, And Took Malicious Pleasure in Restricting Him. Omaha, Neb., April IS. Judge Dundy has ordered the wages of the Union Pa cific employes restored to the old rate. This applies to all the employes of the Union Pacific, whose salaries were cut last September. The order directs the receivers to restore the old wage sche dule, "so far as it relates to the men rep resented by the petitioners and others similarly situated; and in cases where the men receive less than $60 per month the increased pay shall commence on the first day of March last and in all cases where the men receive $60 per month or over the increased pay shall commence on the first of the present month." The opinion rendered in connection with the order is a very extensive one, covering the entire history of the wage troubles on the Union Pacific road and the hearing before Judge CaldwelL Judge Dundy declares that Judge Cald well in his famous order misstated facts and took' malicious pleasure in passing strictures on him. Affects 6,000 Men. The decision affects nearly 6,000 men in the employ of the company. During the course of his opinion, J udge Dundy said: "A week or so ago, the trainmen in the employ of the Union Pacific had a hearing before Judge Caldwell where the wage question was under considera tion. That case in all essentials particu lars was the same as this one. A written opinion was filed in the case. "Some facts are stated in the opinion one or two important facts are omitted entirely. I propose to give a history of the case and the reasons that lead to, making of the order that has been so ex tensively criticised and denouueed. This I do here and now because it is the only opportunity I have had for stating the reasons on which action was based. Much of the opinion has been devoted to the occupation and business qualifi-, cations of the receivers who happened to be appointed without consulta tion with the senior circuit judge "Much of it is devoted to the alleged' character of the injunction allowed, and which was under consideration by the court and much of it is devoted to that part of the order which authorized the receivers to put the wage schedule in force on the first day of March 1894. The author of that opinion seems to have ta ken great if not malicious pleasure in passing his strictures on what had been done in connection with the matter then under consideration No One Questions the Right. "No one probably questions the right to do so, but many, very many, have questioned the good taste and decency of the manner in which the hearing was had and the opinion prepared. "The reasons for revoking my order are not made to us. It cannot be con tended that- the portion of the order in question was contrary to law or justice or reason, and that it was revoked for such reasons. The only reason thought to exist for its revocation is that source from which it emanated. Hereafter if any of these poor men have a grievance they want heard in court, it may be some what expensive for them to travel eight or ten hundred miles fprn here to hunt up the Source of power' the 'fountain head of justice,' before whom an appli cation might be made for leave to file a petition asking to have the wrong re dressed, which right was fully accorded to all such by order in question, until it was revoked." TO FOLLOW IT UP. State House Official Well Pleased With Their "Republican Scandal Unearthed." In regard to the irregularities of the last Republican administration of the state school fund commission, which is printed on another page. State Superin tendent Gaines said this afternoon: "This affair will not be allowed to go unnoticed although Coun ty Attorney Safford refuses to prosecute. Governor Lewelling will au thorize the attorney general to prosecute and all the interested parties will be ar rested and if they get out of the scrape by pleading statute of limitations all right. We don't know whether the lim itation act applies or noC Ex-Attorney General John N. Ives, who was a member of the state school fund commissioners for two years just prior to the present administration, and who is familiar with the transactions, said: "Mr. McGinley obtained those warrants in a regular way as he was the authorized agent through whom the school "fund commission pur chased bonds from the various Counties and school districts. In several instances I do not know whether those cited today are the ones I knew about or not, but on several occasions Mr. McGinley made use of the funds entrusted to hia care, but he made everything good when it was demanded. While his transactions were irregular, I do not think a criminal charge against him would hold. "Wr. Winans was very much worked about the affair and he did hia utmost to straighten affairs out as soon as it was discovered." carriage licenses have been issued by the probate court to William M. Miller and Mary A. Seybold of Richland and to Fritz Higart and Hattie Zeiger of St. Marys. Shirts mended by the Pesrlesa. DAVID FIELD DEAD. The Distinguished Jurist Passed Away at New Vorlt Today.

t STATE JOXJRKAT,. FRIDAY EVENING, APR3X. 13, 1891. GOLD EMS TO GO. Spring Shipments Start Out With $2,000,000. Officials Think It Will Continue Some Time. KO ALARM IS FELT. A Second Bond Issue is Not Contemplated. Washington', April 13. The secre tary of the treasury yesterday re ceived notice that about 82,000,000 in gold coin would be required for ex port next Saturday, about half of which would be drawn from the treas ury and an equal amount from the New York banks. It is the opinion of treasury officials that this shipment is the beginning of the, usual spring" ex portation and that they are likely to continue for some time. This fact, However, is not regarded as a cause for alarm. The net gold in the treasury at the close of business yesterday was $105,963,539. Last year at this time the gold exportations were abnormally heavy, reaching 819,143,904 during April and 816,914,317 in May. In June they had dropped to S2.711.22C and in July to S174.212. The financial and business conditions in Europe, as well as in the United States, have materially changed for the better this year, and in consequence the prediction is con fidently made that the exportations will reach only a fraction of what they were one year ago. The distrust that then everywhere prevailed has disappeared to a great extent, and the money market, both at home and abroad, is much easier. The first serious loss to our gold supply occurred early in the present month when about 700,000 ia gold was paid out in San Francisco, prin cipally on account of pensions. Since that time there has been a gradual recovery, so that our net loss, since the recent sale of bonds had restored' the Sioo.000,000 gold reserve, is only about 300.000. Treasury officials btate in positive terms that a second bond issue is not in contemplation indeed it is believed to be extremely doubtful whether an issue of any con siderable size could now be placed upon the same terms as the recent issue. As is well known it was with extreme difficulty Mr. Carlisle succeeded in arousing the New York bankers to the importance of making the last issue a success, and it is believed he would scarcely under take a similar task except in event of a great emergency With authority to issue short time, low rate bonds, the difficulty, in a measure, it is be lieved, would be obviated, but po such authority is expected from this -congress, and. therefore, the expor tations will necessarily have to be" drawn from the goll reserve. On January 31, last, this reserve had reached 870.000,000. and it is believed it will again be suffered to reach this point, and ev?n a lower one. before another bond issue will be attempted. 8 EN ATE PROCEEDINGS. Senator PefTcr's Third Installment an Ilia Tarlfr Speech. Wasuinqtojt, April 13. Both sides of the chamber showed a very good attendance when the senate met yes terday. During the transaction of the routine morning business, Senator Kyle of South Dakota, introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitu tional amendment relative to mar riage and divorces, which was re ferred to the committee on judiciary. At 1 'o'clock Mr. PeiTer was recog nizedand delivered the third install ment of his speech on the tariff bill. He announced his purpose of offering at the proper time a substitute for the pending bill based on the principle of taxing the articles used by the rich while exempting those articles of prime necessity used by the poor, whether manufactured abroad or not. He would relieve the poor of all taxa tion and put the tax on articles used by the rich, so the burden of tariff taxation would rest chiefly on those who were best able to bear it. He defended the Coxey army and outlined his plan for the amelioration of the con dit ion of the people. Re ferring to the approaching army, he exclaimed: "We are coming. Father Abraham, although the van guard is snowbound, I understand." Laugh ter. He referred to the entrance into Washington last Saturday night of a band of forty men who were im mediately arrested without commit ting any offense. "They had as much right to come here as the president of the New York Central railway company or any other citizen." As congress was not bound down by such restrictions, he continued, he would insist on congress passing a bill obliging the president to furnish em ployment for all men and women of the country. It would not be in the way of building good roads, but he would set them to building a straight double track railroad from the Atlan tic to the Pacific and another from the great lakes to the g"ulf- Then the dark clouds would roll away and be dissipated in the morning mist. "I am now pleading with you manu facturers," he said, earnestly (turning to the Republican side), .to be fair with us. If you demand protection against goods which come mtocoro pe tition with yours, give us those pro tective duties which we ask for." Senator Galiinger inquired whether he (Mr. Peffer) believed that manu factures could continue on a free trade basis. I am not looking after the manu facturing interests." declared Mr. Peffer. "I am looking after the men of the West and South. Kansas can stand free trade better than the peo ple you represent," He went on to argue for a duty on wool and for free sugar, when Mr. Galiinger assured him that the people of -New England were with him on those two questions, and he thought they were with him on all reasonable demands. ''And wh'en we ask anything- which you do not want to give, you call us unreasonable?" replied Mr. Peffer. At 5 o'clock Mr. Peffer had not fin ished, and according to the agreement the tariff bill was laid aside, and the urgent deficiency bill was again taken up. An amendment to the clause for paying special assessments to United States attorneys, changing the amount from 830,000 -to S4O.340, of which S10, 340 should be available for deficiencies for the years 1S93 and 1S93 was agreed to. At 6 o'clock the senate adjourned without further action on the bilL OPPOSED TO FOBECLOSCBE. jc. Commissioner of Railroads Hampton on the Pacific Railway Cases. Washisgtos April 13. General Wade Hampton,' the commissioner of railroads, has submitted to the "house committee having supervision of the matter sundry memoranda on the i various pending bills for a settlement of the debt of the Pacific railroads to the United States. From this memoranda, it appears that the commissioner is opposed to the fore closure of the lien on the roads and the management thereof by congress, as proposed by one bill, but is favora bly disposed to the maintenance of the sinking fund and the payment into it of a larger proportion of net earnings. lie says that on the maturity of the debts of these roads three forms of settlement with the committees will be presented, from which a choice must be made, viz: Foreclosure; second, maintain the sinking fund and require that a larger percentage of net earnings be paid into it. and, third, refund the debt. To Count a Quorum. AVashisgtov, April 13. Representa tive Pendleton, Democrat of Texas has introduced in the house a pro posed amendment to the rules, pro viding for a count of those members, present and not voting when a roll call had developed the absence of a voting quorum.

COXEY'S ARMY SUFFERING. The Commonwealers in Hard Straits on Account of the Snow. Addisox, Pa., April 13. The tramp from Chalk Hill to this place was one of great suffering for the common weal. While the storm had' abated some the deep snow made walking hard, and rests were made frequently. There were many mountaineers here to view the commonwealers, and there is an ugly look abroad. Mountain dew has been flowing like water and the men are in the proper state for conflict. The mountaineers are excited over the army and would crush it out if possible. Several clashes have been averted but trouble is expected. The only licensed sa loon in the p'aCfr is opposite the camp, and the liquor is being dispensed with a lavish hand. The next camp will be General Grant and will be at Grant ville. Suit Against Ingalls. Atchisox, Kan., April 13. Suit was filed in the district court yesterday against E. M. Manley, Davis Auld, John J. Ingalls and E. C. Armsby for the recovery of S3, 200, which invites a long line of sensational litigat'on. The suit comes out of the failure of the Kansas Trust and Banking com pany a year ago in which the grossest fraud has lately been discovered. Other suits of a similar nature will be filed at once. The allegations of the petition are -highly sensational. A Populist Protest. Abilexe, Kan., April 13. The Dick inson county Farmers' alliance adopt ed special resolutions on Judge Fos ter's retirement. They say: "We consider that he ought to have saved enough to maintain his family," and "in i view of the number of unem ployed and homeless, the government ought to economize." The Kansas delegation is urged to try and defeat the bill retiring Foster on a pension of 83,500 on this account. Deplorable Traced? ear Gntbrie. Guthrie, Ok., April 13. News has reached here of a deplorable tragedy at McMillan. Edgar Wright and John Miller, aged respectively 15 and 13, quarreled while going to church, and the Mdler boy plunged a pocket knife into young Wright's back, from the effeets of which he died. Young Miller has been placed in jail upon the charge of murder in the first degree. Willie Wilde Married Again. London; April 13. "Willie" Wilde, formerly the husband of Mrs. Frank Leslie, was married a few days ago to Miss Sophia Lees by special license in this city. The bride is the granddaugh ter of Mr. Thomas Oide Lses of Ale rr ion, near JLablLi. PLEADED HARD.

a Butterworth Made a Strong Plea for His Client One of the Greatest Speeches Ever Made. NO GUILELESS GIRL Had Brought the Suit He Said. Washixgtojt, April 13. The de fense of Colonel Breckenridge, which General Butterworth made yesterday, is considered even by his opponents to have been one of the greatest speeches ever .made in a Washington court. It was effective as a masterpiece of oratory, and was made so largely by the winning personality of the speaker. Mr. Butterworth was per suasive, dramatic, friendly, con ciliatory and artful. For nearly nine hours Mr. Butterworth carried the speaking part in the great case. He conjured by the name of mother, the fireside and American woman hood most effectively, making it appear that all of these forces were enlisted on the side of his client. Through all the speaking the white1 haired member of congress 'from Ken tucky sat facing the jury, much of the time with his face shaded by his hand, occasionally nodding assent to the points scored by the speaker. The slender plaintiff heard none of the de nunciations of herself, and her at torneys have sat smiling throughout the onset of the opposition. Judge Jere Wilson will consume the greater part of to-day and to-morrow with his argument for the plaintiff. Mr. Butterworth told the jury that the inherent probabilities arising from the course of human nature were to be considered more deeply than the statements of witnesses. The question was not whether Will iam C. P. Breckinridge had violated any ordinance, human or divine, had been guilty of terpitude, conduct which Drings upon him condemnation, but whether these two parties had agreed that he was to become her hus band, she his wife- To awaken horror before the public there had been a tale that Colonel Breckinridge had led astray a guiless little girl and had led her down the path of nine years of immorality to a marriage contract ruthlessly violated. The jury was not to determine whether there had been any such guileless little girl; whether she had not been a mature and knowing woman. He denied the woman came to court to redress a great wrong. No wrong could be re dressed in that way. Nor had she wanted the balm of money, for she had said there was none. Her motive did not rise to the quality of revenge, nor even of hatred, but sent abroad to every home a leaven she knew to be vile, the influence of which was measureless. "For what motive does the desperate woman walk on any stage? She de liberately turned from everything that man or woman could desire and proclaimed her share. This is a vesti bule of a wider state upon which she desired to enter. Is it the right of any individual to corrupt public morals by the excuse of seeking reparation for wrong. What is there of reparation for wrong but to go home to their mother's fireside to him who alone can grant reparation for wrong?" Her early life was not what it should have been, he continued, but was what her letters showed her to be. It would be said, Butterworth, you are defending sin. but no; he had a little family of his own. one son who had to fight the battle of life against fearful odds. No, he was defending the standard of womanhood; the vir tue of city and of country girls. No man could say that ruination was possible under the circumstances which had been portra'ed here. He protested against such a standard being raised for virtue. As for his client, no one knew through what mire that man had been dragged, and such was the penalty of sin. He did not want the jury carried away by the whisper floating in the air that a verdict for the defendant would be a ratification of his sin. He asked them also not to commend a woman who bad borne herself as this plaintiff had; not to elevate her for the degradation of him. Such a verdict would mean that virtue was but as a cloak to be thrown off or put on. American womanhood should be vindicated by the standard to which wives and mothers must be held. MISSOURI GRAND ARMY. New Officers Elected at the Lebanon Encampment Installed. Lebanon, Mo., April 13. The Mis souri State G- A.

The grand jury, which adjourned yesterday after a ten days' session, recommended the adoption of the whipping post as sug gested by Judge Ryland in his. instruc tions to the jury, as a punishment for minor offenses. The jury also recom mended the submission of a 'proposi tion to the voters of the ounty to build a $35,000 jail, j A: $1,000,000 FIRE. The Plant of the American Glucose Company Burned. BtTFFAXO, N; Y., April 13. The plant of the American glucose com pany burned last night. The loss will be about $1,000,000. The insur ance is $585,000. The works of the company consisted of an eleven-story brick building used for the- manufac ture of glucose and starch, an eight story brick building used as a power house and as a place for making the cattle-feeding product, an eight story brick building- used as a refinery and an eight-story store-house. The fire was discovered in the dynamo room of the main building shortly af ter 7 o'clock by the engineer. He gave the alarm, and he and his fire man rushed out. In ten minutes the whole eleven stories were on fire and flames were bursting through the windows and darting from the roof. There were perhaps 125 men at work. It will not be known until a census of the employes is taken whether one man or fifty men were cremated. It is known that some of- the men es caped by the fire escapes and some -of those on the lower stories jumped into the canal. A great many of the men at work on the upper floors were ig norant Poles and Germans. In fifteen minutes the entire main building was a mass of flames. In twenty minutes the walls began to fall. They fell at frequent intervals until, inside of forty-five minutes, there was but one corner standing. The main building was connected with the power and feed house by an elevated bridge over Scott street. The flames crept across and ignited the feed house. Meanwhile the city fish market just across the street .caught fire. Five firemen, were sent inside to fight the flames, and a number of streams was turned on the roof. The building was a long, low brick structure, and the firemen made a good fight to save it, but a portion of a blazing wall fell on it and started the roof to burning. The fireman in side did not know of this, and no one told them. The consequences were that in a few minutes the roof fell and buried five firemen. Three of them escaped with no other injuries than a few bvuir-es, but John Weber and Lieutenant Louis Schrader of the same company were not so fortunate. Weber was taken out unconscious. His face is badly burned, some of hia rib? are broken and he has also internal in juries. He may not recover. Lieuten ant Schrader had his back and legs hurt. Both were taken to the hos pital. The feed house was completely de stroyed, the walls all having fallen by 10 o'clock. The refinery and store house went next, and by 1 o'clock there was nothing left of the mam moth establishment but a few totter ing walls. M'M ASTER'S MIND WRECKED. The Oklahoma Editor Attempts Suicide Not Expected to Recover. Oklahoma CiTy, Ok., April 13." The fight of the territorial courts on Frank McMaster culminated yesterday in the dethronement of McMaster's reason and an attempt at snicide. The fight had reached the point where McMas ter must either beg the mercy of the court or go to jail for six months and pay $500 fine for contempt of court. He is 60 years old and broken in health"! The merciless action of the court so worked upon him that his reason was temporarily deranged. While in this condition Judge Scott sent him an abject apology to sign. He read the paper and then left the room a few moments. When he returned he signed it and remarked that it was his death warrant. He then informed those present that he had taken poison and would be beyond the reaeh of the court in a few minutes. Physicians were called and the stomach pump was freely used, resulting in at least prolonging his life. The probabilities are that he will never leave his house alive. An Old Missouri Indian Claim. Washington, April 13. The com mittee on war claims of the house has agreed, in accordance with the recommendations of Secretary Hoke Smith, to report a bill authorizing the payment to Representative Heard of Missouri, $10,000 for services rendered to the old settlers of Western Chero kee Indians in their claim against the United States.

STA.TE JOTTRNAJm FRIDAY EVENING. APR IX. 13. 1894. i r 3 CAN'TPAYUNCLE SAM Time "Has Come for Railroads to Settle, But They Can't Pay What They Owe. IT WILL LOSE ALL. Senator Callom Thinks Govern ment is Out. Washington, April 13. Special. In tho course of a long and very interest ing conversation on the development of railroads in this country and their present relation to the government, Senator Cul lom pointed out the numerous difficulties In tne way of any of the proposed schemes and gave it aa his opinion that it is now almost If not quite impossible for the wis est body of men to arrange any system that will satisfy the people and adapt itself to the rapid changes in trade and trans portation. "The proposition to sell our claims on the Pacific railroads, said he, "is at present without backing that is, bo far a3 I know, no authorized body has proposed to buy them. And if the govern ment should try to sell, by what rule could they be valued? The subject is not before our committee, but as near as I can make out from the statements published the managers claim that the roads are making nothing, and what is property worth which earns nothing? However, the roads might Bell for a great deal more than their pres ent value and no doubt would. The fact is, those roads were built under peculiar and exceptional circumstances. It was a time of high prices and lavish expendi tures, of general carelessness and waste fulness. There were land grants and sub sidies, all that heart could wish, and in pay for them a big mortgage on the fu ture. Pay day has come, and nobody is able to pay. A Hundred Tears Extension. "It looks to me as if we should just lose our claim outright, as the propositions to put the rood in commission or the like are of a nature that congress will not yet consent to. The fact is, the country is not yet ready for any comprehensive plan. Our constitution and general system of government were not got up to deal with such things, and lawmakers honestly con fess that it will take a long time to devise a practicable scheme. Other questions are pressing on this generation, and it looks us if this railroad question would have to be left to a new set. "As to the measures now before the Pa cific railroad committee, I think it likely that in the end the companies will get all the time they want. Possibly that plan of giving them a hundred years to pay in, with no interest at all for the first 10 years, will be adopted, and you know what that means. In 10 years everything will be changed, and the roads would take their chances on what they can do after that. It sixnply amounts to postponing the thing 10 years, and at the end of that time a new Bet will be here with a great deal more ex perience and, it is to be hoped, more wis dom. I am only a minority member of the interstate commerce committee now, and you can see by looking at the bills be fore our committee that everything is in an experimental condition." Tlie Pooling: Clause. Examination fully confirms this state ment. Of the 13 bills before the commit tee the one which has made the most prog ress is the Gorman bill to repeal outright the pooling clause of the interstate com merce act, as nearly all outsiders who have been heard by the committee have made their attacks on that. Others are the Wil son bill, to abolish ticket scalping and make ticket agents more responsible; the McMillan bill, to allow pooling when the contract therefor is approved by the inter state commerce commission; the Lodge bill, providing for dollar shares in rail roads; the Cameron bill, to give the Frank lin institute $25. 0O0 to experiment with; the Cockrell bill, offering $100,000 re ward to any one who will invent a flying machine, and others of an equally enter taining nature. The advocates of statehood for the four territories are bringing to bear some new forces, among them an argument that it would make a glorious record for this con gress to end the territorial system, which has always been an anomaly in our sys tem. It began really with the famous or dinance of 1787, but that was largely su perseded by the constitution, and after a variety of experiments the territorial sys tem reached its final form n 1850. On the 9th of September that year President Fill more signed the organic acta creating Utah, New Mexico and so forth, which was the end of that long session and the excit ing struggle over slavery in the newly ac quired territory. The system has remained practically unchanged ever since, the or ganic act creating each new territory be ing almost a literal copy of those of 1850, and now the territorians think it would bo a great honor for this congress to wind up the 44 year system. Changes In Party Alignment. It is an odd fact that in the six months of its active life the Fifty-third congress has had five material changes of party alignment. Now that O'Neill and Eng lish have secured the seats lately occupied by Joy and Hilborn, Republicans, and Mr. Islar has come in as the successor of Mr. Brawley of South Carolina, the Dem ocrats in tho house have reached their high est number 218. Twelve members aro now counted as Populists, so there are but 124 Republicans. This gives 82 Dem ocratic majority over all, and on questions where the Populists vote with them they leave the Republicans in the lurch by 106. As 19 Republicans are avowed free silver men, it would seem that Mr. Bland was quite within bounds in his confident proph ecy that his seigniorage bill could be pass ed over thy veto, only it did not turn out eo. Of the two vacancies it is certain that Mr. Blanehard"s successor from Louisiana will be a Democrat, but Ohio Republicans are betting that the Dayton district will send a Republican to succeed the late Mr. Hout, which would leave the majority un changed. Mr. Hatch says that his antiop tion bill is in exactly the right shape, that the features which made it obnoxious to bo many in the Fifty-first and Fifty-second congresses have been eliminated, that the longer it is discussed the more supporters it will have, and that he is confident it will pass the house by a two-thirds major ity. The opposition declare, however, that he must have a quorum of his own to pass It. The Shawnee Building- and Loan asso ciation will issue a new series of shares this month. The books are now open at tbe office of the secretary, room 16, Col umbian, building. JUDGE CALDWELL DID IT. Stood l"p for Santa Fa Employes Aalnat Wheeler 11. Peckbam. St. Lotis, April 13. A Globe-Democrat special from Washington says: Judge Caldwell, about whose rulings in the Santa Fe cases the country is man ifesting so much interest, defeated Wheeler H. Peckbam for the United States supreme bench a few weeks ago. The authority for this sweeping state ment comes from the senators who re versed their previous intentions and voted against Peckham. These senators are Republicans. They made the major ity by which the nomination was re jected. At the time the Peckham case was about to come before the senate the Globe-Democrat published a letter which Peckham had sent to Judge CaldwelL as ioliows: New York, December 26, 1893. To Hon. Henry C. Caldwell, Little Rock, Ark.: Union Trust company repudiates and will not accept conditions of your order appointing receivers. No one has authority to take or enter order with such conditions. (Signed) Whe eler H. Peckham. When the Atchison railway system went under a receivership Mr. Peckham was, as he still is, counsel- for the Union Trust company of New York, which re presented the bondholders of the rail road. These bondholders, it is alleged, desired to repudiate the wages of the laborers and the accounts of creditors who had recently furnished supplies. Judge Caldwell, before whom the appli cation was made, insisted that laborers' wages and debts incurred for supplies should be paid in full by the receivers, and caused such conditions to be attach ed to the order. But Mr. Peckham thought he knew more than the court did, and was very indignant because of these conditions. Judge Caldwell made reply to Peck ham, but it was not sent by mail. It was a plain statement of the situation which had prompted the Peckham letter. The judge intrusted it to a personal friend a western man of national repute. This man came to Washington and laid the information before certain Republican senators, who, up to that time, had taken but little interest in the case and were inclined to help confirm Peckham. They saw at once the unfitness of Peckham and his strong bias toward corporations. They decided to vote against him. Judge Caldwell's immediate agency in the re jection has not been told until now. HALL AND FITZSIMM0XS. A rig lk t Between Them Without Gloves Not Improbable. Chicago, April 13. Pugilist Jim Hall is recuperating at the West Baden min-' eral spriugs. The Australian has read Fitzsimmons' latest challenge and ex presses a desire to again meet the man who defeated him at New Orleans. "I will meet him with or with out gloves at any time or place and fight for a stake within reason. As I am my own backer, it will be im possible tor me to hght for $20,000 or anything like that amount. Let him be reasonable and he will be accommodated. "Fitzsimmons, it strikes me, is coins' out of his road, or out of his mind, I don't know which. I will return to Chi cago by May 11, and will be ready at tnat time to match with him for any rea sonable stake." COAL PRODUCTION. Valuation of the Output Lat Year in tbe v. s. $305,000,000.

GEORGE MORGAN IS BETTER The Man With the Hlccoagha Has a fighting Chance for J.ile. George Morgan, the young man whose critical condition from hiccoughs wa3 re ported yesterday, is better today. County Physician MeCiintock has labored with him industriously and says now the man has good fighting chances for recovery. The hiccoughs have not disappeared except for brief intervals, but they seem less labored and cause the victim less suffering than yes terday. Dr. MeCiintock says the man's condition is due largely to hysteria caused by worrying. A Slow Taslc Lieutenant Schwatka, in describing some of the trees near Sowora, says that the iron wood looks very much like a fine variety of the mesquite, the wood of which is a beau tiful, bright cherry red. Its name is deriv ed from its hardness and is well deserved. It uses up an ax to fell each tree, and as the quality of different trees is always the same and that of different axes is not, even this ratio of one ax to one tree has to be changed occasionally and always in favor of the tree. It is said that a tramp who had wandered into that part of the country, with the usual appetite of his class, applied for something to eat. In reply he was told that if he would get out a certain number of rails for a fence the proprietor would give him a week's board. It was, as he thought, about a day's work that had been assigned him, andbrightand early the next morning he sallied out with his ax on his shoulder. Unfortunately the most tempting tree he met was an iron wood, and very late in the evening he re turned with the ax helve on his arm. "How many rails did you split today?" asked his employer. I didn't split any, but I hewed out one," was the reply, and then the tramp resigned bii oosition. Yonth's Companion. Democratic Caucus Today. Washington, April 13.

At the meeting of the eastern Kansas Medical society in Topeka last night. Dr. Emory Lanphear, of Kansas City, Mo., read a paper entitled: "After Treat ment of Abdomenal Section." He said after a surgical operation on the abdo-. men, morphine was not the proper thing to uTse to deaden the pain. He recom mended applying three wide adhesive bands about the body and covering the wound. He also said that he did not al low anyone else except the nurse, to see the patient till after four days. Dr. J. E. Minney said: "It is not a good thing to keep them away till after the fourth day, for sometimes the under taker gets to see them before that. Dr. J. F. Binnie, of Kansas City, did not believe in the theory of starvation as advocated by some. The day after the operation he would administer some chicken broth. Dr. M. B. Ward said he didn't believe in putting those adhesive bands around the body. They would be very painful and cause blisters. Dr. B. D. Eastman read a paper on, "For What Are We Indebted to Dr. Brown-Sequard?" The two most impor tant experiments were discussed. They were, the "dual mind," and the "elixir." It seemed to be the sentiment of the society that Brown -Sequard had greatly aided the medical profession. "There was a sympasium led by Dr. J. E. Minney on the subject, "Immunity." He said: "There is no absolute immunity from disease." He gave a very short talk, but the dis cussion was participated in by many physicians. These officers for the ensuing year were elected unanimously: Doctors R. E. McVey, president; Geo. M. Gray of Kansas City, Kan., vice president; G. A. Wall, secretary, and Ida C. Barnes, treasurer. The committee also announced that the next meeting of the society will be held at Leavenworth the second Thurs day of July. The following is a list of the physi cians present at the meeting: C. S.

Supposed Case of Smallpox at Wichita. Emporia, April 13. Fritz Mooler, who is well known in this city, and B. T. Smith, a young man from North Topeka, who has been attending the normal, were arrested and tried in Justice Fletcher's court for cruelty to animals. They both pleaded guilty and were fined, in the case of Smith, $25 and half the costs of suit and twenty-five days in jail, and in the case of Moliler, $50 and half the coats. The young men hired one of Worster Wilhite's best teams on Wednesday morning to drive to Madison. Dr. Selim Worster, who was returning from a trip in the south saw and recognized the team near Eureka. As soon as he ar aived here a man was sent in search of tne team, which was found at Madison the next morning, almost driven to death. The horses were brought to Emporia, since which one has died and the other is probably ruined. The boys' mothers put up $200 in cash, as a bond for thir release, and will try to settle the matter by paying costs and giving $200 for the team. TEARING! UP A STREET. Emporia Parties Who Own Part of Kan sas Avenue in Emporit. Emporia, April 13. George Randolph a citizen and his family, claim that Kan sas avenue has never been properly made a street and that it is their private property from Commercial to Halberg's corner. They offered to sell this land to the city for $1,000. The Randolph title was pronounced good by the district court and when the case was appealed to the supreme court it went against the city by default, the city making no effort to contest. George Randolph has begun tearing up the old sewer culvert and tunnel across Kansas avenue. The mayor has, however, agreed with Randolph that if he would stop the work of destruction the matter would be laid before the coun cil next Monday night and immediate action asked. LOVERS DIE TOGETHER. A Wichita Couple Many miles Apart Ex- plre at the Same Time. AVichita, April 18. Myrtle Deamwent away from home, last summer to see the fair and to spend the winter with her sis ter in Chicago. Only last week she was well and happy. Yesterday her body was brought home, and today it will be buried. She Was in her twenty-third year, very intelligent, and as beautiful as vivacious. Having plighted her love to Jack Wheeler she was looking forward to life, filled. witH anticipations of pleasure and happiness. A letter received from Chicago on Monday said that she had taken a little cold, which was followed by a-telegram telling of her serious ill ness of pneumonia, and in a few hours another announcing her death. Her suitor and betrothed, who had been sick at his home in Orange, N. J., but who did not know of her sickness ex pired the same night in a few hours afterwards. WHEAT IN CENTRAL KANSAS. It Could Look Better, but the People are Popef ul. McPherson, April 13. The condition of wheat in McPherson county is repre sentative of the entire central part of the state. tThe Daily Republican says of it: "That the prospects for the wheat crop are not as encouraging as they were a month ago must be admitted. The dry windy weather of the past two weeks has been more or less hurtful. It i3 true, however, there has seldom been an April in Kansas that wheat has not been expos ed to these same dangers and more or less of it plowed up. The greatest inju ry has been done by the wind blowing the loose soil on the growing wheat. A yellow color is not a certain sign that wheat is ruined or will not make a fair crop, .provided we have favorable weath er. Million? of wheat would be saved in Kansas by a good general rain at this time." HAS WICHITA SMALL POX? A Man Suffering: with Disease Much Re sembling? .the Dread Plsene. Wichita, April 13. There is much suppressed excitement manifest in the .board of health circles here. An alleged case of small pox was reported to the board and the members held a meeting at(Div'St. John's office.

Chapman and he is a freight handler for one of the railroads in the city. The physician who has been attending him right along up to date, declares that the man has this dreaded disease. MAY PLAY PROFESSIONALS. Couneil of tho State University Recon siders Its Action About Baieball. Lawbescb, April 13. The conncil of the state university have reconsidered their decision with regard to the recent baseball announcement. They decided that the baseball team should be allowed to play professional teams on the home grounds, but should not play away from home. This decision is considered an odd one and is interpreted as meaning that the members of the faculty are unable to go abroad to see the baseball games and want to get a share of all the fun going. OCCUPATION TAX WAR. Abilene "la the Throes" s.nd a Blg Law Suit On. Abilkxe, Kan., April 13.

A special dispatch to the Boston Jour nal from Worcester, Mass., says: Rev. Frank B. Vrooman, who has been pastor of Salem Street Congregational church since May 1, 1892, read his resig nation this morning. In his letter he said: "In tendering my resignation for your action this morning, I have not seen fit to offer a detail of my reasons. They are too painful and they are obvious. A recital of the facts which led to them would be unworthy that spirit of magnanimity in which I desire to meet you, and in which your committee has met me. My associations with you have been too intimate during these two years for me to do other than all in my power at any cost to further the interest of a church in which I have spent two of the least profitable and most painful years of my life." Rev. Mr. Vrooman succeeded Rev. Isaac J. Lansing, now pastor of Park church of Boston, at Salem Street church. The above dispatch fails to explain what the trouble ia about, and it ia doubt ful if the mystery will be explained for some days yet.

Thi9 ia notwithstand ing what agricultural boards and farm journals may state. It couldn't have been the expense of Mr. J. B. Watkins candidacy for senator last year that made his company go into the hands of a receiver, could it? There doesn't seem to be any danger that the Uuion Pacific receivers are going to resign. Times are too hard for them to join the ranks of the unemployed. Even Gov. Lewelling's butter and egg business will dwindle away if he allows Todd to send out official state ments that "farming doesn't pay in Kan sas." The Populists are as flighty about set ting the date for their state convention as a girl is about her wedding day. They are not exactly sure what the Democrats are going to do. Five of the Anderson county delega tion to the second district congressional convection are reported to be for Fun Bton. Mr. Funston can lift up his forty horse-power voice in rejoicing. C. II. J. Taylor's name is not likely to be withdrawn merely because he is persona non grata to the people of At lanta. It is the people of Washington that will have to put up with him. Ft. Scott people were going to give the tableau of "Christ Before Pilate" but the women couldn't name any man to take the part of Christ, that the men didn't wink one eye and look at each other and laugh. Senator Peffer was allowed to de liver the third installment of his tariff speech yesterday.- It does very well to Ull in with while Dan Voorhees is snor ing or some of the other members are nodding in their chairs. Thb railroads heaped coals of fire on the head of Gov. West of Utah. They were willing to haul the unfortunate unemployed eastward without pay, had not West interfered. It isn't crankery that ails West; it's simply meanness. Reno county is likely to send J. N. High to the next legislature. Mr. High was speaker pro tern of the house in 18S9. He is a Republican and said to be a ready debater. Mr. High is an Ohio man. The Lawrence Gazette ia authority for the statement that Abbas, the yoang Khedive of Egypt, is coding to this country and will visit Ed Little at Abi lene. There is no truth in the harem skarum story that he ia going to bring his family with him. "All this talk of fixers in the interest of any candidate should be frowned down" says a Republican paper at Mc Pherson. No, it is not the "talk" that should be frowned down; it's the fixers. Is it good sense to sit still and let the fixers go on fixing or to expose them? Frank Flenniken, formerly Senator Plumb's private secretary says he is watching things closely, and this Is a Republican year. Frank wanted to be secretary of state two years ago. He was watching things closely, then, too and he concluded that it was neither a Republican year nor a Flanniken year; and it wasn't Chester I. Lono has been down ad dressing the Republican central commit tee of McPherson county. He said the contest is going to rest on endorsing the national and state administration; this is true so far as it goes, but ia thia state It also rests on putting in not only better men than are now in power, but better men than those who ran the last Repub lican administration. Don't forget that The people of thia state don't want any more Higginsea, Simpsons or Buchans any more than they' want more Lewel lings, Artzes or Todds. It Topeka did not have to support nth a large police force, the asphalt streets might be repaired. It is very likely that with half the number of po licemen just as many trampa and drunks would be arrested. The question is would the people prefer fewer police and better streets or riot The chances are that a popular vote would reduce the police force. But our modern system of municipal government succeeds pretty well In preventing the people from put ting their wishes into action. One of these days when we have plebiscites and initiatives and referendums and eo forth, all the stupid obstacles in the way of the people doing what they want to do, will be removed. In the meantime we must be saddled with just as big a police force as the law allows. Really the most serious slander sent out of this state in the pa3t three years is the statement made by Labor Commis sioner Todd that farming doesn't pay in Kansas. This statement over the signature of "Labor Commissioner" does immense harm back east where the people do not know that the official is prejudiced by his politics. Besides, the statement isn't true. Some kinds of farming may not pay, but there are too many instances all around us where it has paid to make such sweeping assertions. One can over look the petty squabbles and fisticuffs into which Todd has become involved, but the state ought not to be compelled to endure the promulgation of such reports about her resources from official sources. Gov. Lewelling appointed Todd and re tains him in office. In that measure he is responsible. The women all over the country are interested, in the Kansas campaign for woman suffrage. Money is being raised by the Lucy Stone memorial fund for campaign purposes. The rather lengthy title of this fund is: "The Lucy Stone Birthday. Memorial Fund for the Kansas campaign." The object is that every woman interested in woman suffrage shall put a cent a day into the fund un til August 13th, which is Lucy Stoae's birthday. For this purpose boxes are furnished, bearing on one side a picture of Lucy Stone; their cost is 5 cents each. It is part of the plan, of course, to have them all opened on Lucy Stone's birth day, at a memorial meeting of the woman suffrage association in each locality, the fund thus collected to be sent to the treasurer of the National American woman suffrage association, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Warren, Ohio, by check, indicating to Mrs. Upton that the remit tance is for the Lucy Stone memorial fund for Kansas. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS. An old clock tinker at Wichita has at last wound up in the city jail. Some of Ft Scott's society buds have adopted bloomers for bicycle riding. The angling road case that Reno county Is having so much trouble about, ought to lead to the river. The bad acting at the Arkansas City opera bouse, is confined chiefly to a number of young men in the audience. At last accounts the Salina burglars were making for Abilene with their Btolen goods where there is a "fence" factory. Evangelist Kelly at Leavenworth is holding so many full houses, that "the talent" are beginning to eye him with suspicion. Three crayon portraits have been lost on the streets of Independence, adding much thereby to the picturesque appear ance of the place. The marriage of Miss Derge to an Atchison young man, has been solemn ized. This sounds considerably like "a sorrow's crown of sorrows." The name of the night policeman at Ottawa ia Pfyfe. A man might be knocked down several times by footpads before he could call his name. "Girard was as dark last night as a little country village," says the World commenting on the going out of the electric lights. What does Chicago think of that?

HOW THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS ARE SELECTED. A Committee of Fifteen Met In Philadel phia Recently to Choose the Coarse For 1896 Points In Sunday School History. Work of the Woodruffs Abroad. If Robert Raikes, the humble English printer whose Sunday schools, started in Gloucester 100 and more years ago. were the first to attract general atten tion, could have been privileged to be in Philadelphia the other day when the committee to select the. international lessons for 1896 was in session there, his amazement doubtless would have passed his powers of expression. The committee numbered 15, all men of the highest standing among the world's Sunday school workers and their deliberations had to do with the direction of the study of the Bible by fully 20,000,000 persons. Not less sur- REV. A. E. DCNNTNO." MR. B. F. JACOBS. REV. J. H. VETCEST. prising to Mr. Raikes perhaps than the magnitude of the work and the charac ter of the men engaged upon it would have been the fact that none came near er to being an Englishman than the two Canadian members Rev. Dr. John Potts of the Victoria university, at To ronto, and Hon. S. H. Blake, a Dominion lawyer and that all the others, a bak er's dozen in number, were citizens of the republic founded by the "American rebels," whose fight for independence began four years before 1780, the date of the first Raikes schools, came to be known, four years later, when it was successfully concluded, as the world's greatest revolution. But though the committee is so strongly American its work before it can be finally adopted and given to the world must be revised by a committee of Englishmen, which will meet in London a few months hence. It is not likely, however, that this London committee will recommend any serious changes. An even dozen members of the com mittee were present, there being only three absentees. These were Mr. Blake, one of the Canadian members already mentioned; Rev. Dr. M. D. Hoge, a Richmond Presbyterian, and Dr. W. G-. Cunnyngham, a clergyman of the Meth odist Episcopal church, located at Nash ville. Those in attendance were BisHop J. H. Vincent of the M. E. church,' founder of the Chautauqua summer schools, chairman; Rev. Dr. Warren Randolph, Baptist, of Newport, R. L, secretary; Dr. John Hall of New York; Dr. Potts of Canada; B. F. Jacobs, the Chicago business man in whose prac tical brain the idea of uniformity in Sunday school lessons first took definite form; Dr. A. E. Dunning of Boston; Professor J. I. D. Hinds of Lebanon, Tenn.; Rev. Dr. J. Stahr of Lancaster, Pa. President John A. Broad us of the Baptist Theological seminary at Louis ville, Rev. Dr. B. B. Tyler of New York, Rev. H. Lewis Baugher of Gettysburg, Pa., and Dr. D. Berger of Dayton, O. A number of persons not members of the committee were present. These in cluded Professor F. K. Sanders of Yale, representing the Institute of Sacred Lit erature, who was in favor of the addi tion of lines of study which would "prove worthy of the efforts of the most advanced theological students," the rep resentatives of two or three associations that publish lesson leaves and several ladies who desired the substitution of lessons of a more elementary nature for primary classes. It will be seen that widely differing views were presented by different persons, and it may be add ed that no two of the visitors agreed, eo that the committee must have had a rather embarrassing task if anyatternpt was made to please everybody. It was Btated at the close of the meeting by Mr. Jacobs that it had been decided that the lessons for the first half of the year should be taken from the gospel of St. Luke and those for the last half from the Old Testament. The English etfmmit- REV. D. BERGER. REV. J. POTTS. REV. W. O. CCNVNGHAM. tee that will revise the work of the American one is made up of Rev. Dr. J. M. Gibson, Mr. W. M. Grosser, Rev. Dr. C- H". Kelly, Professor Carr. Rev. Dr. 3. Green, Mr. Edward Towns and Mr. Charles Waters. It is not generally known probably even among active Sunday school work ers that of the 22,732,224 teachers and scholars in the Sunday schools of the world 11,113,557 or almost half are in the United States, and that more than half of the remainder are found among other English speaking peoples, yet such is the fact. In truth, the Sunday school is practically an institution of the Anglo Saxon race, though there are Sunday schools in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Den mark, Holland, Germany and in the missionary countries of Asia and Africa and the isles of the sea. But Bulgaria, j7 tfyS Ronmania, Greece, Macedonia, Monte negro, Turkey and Russia are almost without Sunday schools. There seems to be little doubt in the minds of any that the unification of the lessons has been of immense benefit to the movement for extending the useful ness of the Sunday school. The interna tional lesson series was adopted in 1872 at the Indianapolis convention for the United States, the Canadian Sunday schools came in three years later, and in 1889 the plan was universally adopted. Though Dr. (now Bishop) Vincent is the man to whom the idea first seemed feasi ble and Dr. Eggleston showed its prac ticability, it was Mr. Jacobs who pushed it to adoption, and he is, therefore, and quite naturally, very popular among men who are at the top among Sunday school workers. This was shown by his election at the world's Sunday school convention held in St. Louis last year to the high office of president, an honor which Mr. Jacobs, who is as modest as be is efficient, accepted with manifest re luctance. It seems a little singular that America, a wilderness peopled only by wild beasts and pagan savages for cen turies after all Europe had been Chris tianized, should lead so tremendously, so far as the Sunday school, unquestion ably the strongest auxiliary to the church, is concerned. In fact, although there were Sunday schools on the conti nent before that year, it was not till 1858 that any definite move to extend and systematize them was entered upon, and it was Albert Woodruff, ah Amer ican and a native of Massachusetts, who inaugurated the movement. It was in Paris that he began. He was taking a holiday trip through Europe and was much cast down by the desecration of the Lord's day in the gay French capi tal. On pondering upon the matter he became convinced that the first day of the week could best be redeemed to Christian uses in Europe by the estab lishment of Sunday schools. Mr. Woodruff's first move was to se cure a supply of American Sunday school music. Then he enlisted the sym pathy of a number of pastors and lay men, and in half a year six Sunday schools had been successfully organized on the American plan. A committee for the formation of similar schools through out France was got together, and Rev. H. Paumier was made its chairman. Rev. J. T. Cook was the first Sunday school missionary in Europe, the field of bis labors taking in Switzerland and southern France. Mr. Woodruff became so greatly im pressed by the success of the movement in France that in I860 he determined to give up his business and devote his for tune and the remainder of his life to the work. By 1862 he 'was again on the other side of the Atlantic, where his unbound- REV. M. D. HOGE. REV. JOHN HALL. PROF. 3. A. BROADUS. ed enthusiasm soon made itself felt. Hi3 wife, who shared his views, shared his activity as well. They began their labors at Naples. It was then, even more than now, in Europe a most unusual thing for a woman to engage in such public reli gious exercises as the conduct of a Sun day school. Mrs. Woodruff soon over came the objections made to her taking part in the exercises in Naples, but at Munich it was not so easy to do away with old world prejudices. At Heidelberg, however, a banker named Brockelmann joined his fortune and his efforts to those of the Woodruffs and for a quarter of a century expended largely of his time and his money in the establishment of Sunday schools through out Germany. For two or three years he went about the country in the capaci ty of an interpreter for Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff. At Berlin Pastor Prochnow, the court preacher; Dr.Hoffmann; Haupt, the organist, and Marx, the singer, in dorsed the movement, and of course their co-operation lent great strength thereto. American Sunday school music had never been heard in Germany until introduced by the Woodruffs, and it mef with great opposition, more than once being characterized by Teutonic Chris tians, who seemed to think religion should be made as lugubrious as possi ble, as only fit to be heard in beer halls. In 1877 the work that had been started by Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff bore fruit in the establishment of the Foreign Sunday School association. Under its auspices many thousands of. publications have been issued in about a score of languages and dialects. These publications include periodicals for children printed in Span ish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Jap anese. A most important part of the work of the association has been the formation of schools among soldiers and their fam ilies. These schools are scattered over a large part of Europe and are to be found even in such remote parts of the globe as India and Madagascar, so far has the work of the association extended. It is not claimed, of course, that thi3 society is the sole agency that has been instrumental in the rooting and grounding of the Sunday school idea in the old world. Its mem bers recognize and wbrk in perfect har mony with the continental committee of the London Sunday School union and other missionary societies, but that the association is among the most potent of factors in foreign Sunday school work there can be no doubt.

This story is going to end in a mystery. I know this because, like a true artist, I thought it all out before putting pen to pa per. It was the evening of Arabella's birthday.

Bright thoughts are worth bright dollars. But to our tale. Quoth Alphonso: "Darling?" Quoth Arabella: "Yes, darlirg." "Isn't this your birthday, darling?" "Yea, dearest." "Well, pet,I propose to give oo a kiss for every year of your age." "Oh, darliDgl" They embrace rapturously. He kisses her seven times, then chortles: "These don't count, for you haven't told me your age yet. How old is my darling?" "Ob, darling!" "How old is my ickle tootsy wootsy?" Here began a great struggle in Arabella's mind. She had reached that age when she wish ed to bethought several years younger. That is likewise the fege when an unwed ded maiden most keenly appreciates kisses. She did not want to tell him her real age. She wanted all the kisses she could get. Here, gentle reader, is1 the mystery fore told exclusively in our first line. Did she claim all the kisses to which she was entitled or not? Truth. What make3 a' house a home?

STATE JOTTRNAL,, FRIDAY EVENTJSTG. APRIIi 13, 1S94. SUNFLOWER GENIUSES Gather at Washburn College for a Literary Festival." THE SEYESTH ANNUAL MEETING Or tbe Kansas Academy r tnsng and Llterlmre-Mtorie, Muale and Poetry. "What's goia' oq out to Washburn,' aid the conductor as the car became more crowded at. each stop. "Language and Literature," said the colonel. "Do you know what them big word means?" "Guess it's talk, ain't it," answered the street car man. And with certain allow ance for grammatical construction the man was about right. II. G. Larimer of Topeka called to or der the eleventh annual meeting of the Kan9a3 Academy of Language and Lit uruture at 8:30 last night in Washburn college chapel. Misses Stich, Pierce and Bishop rend ered a vocal trio "When I am Gone. The young ladies were visibly nervous, but it interfered in no way with their singing, which was prettily done. After Dr. Mc Vicar Lad invoked the divine blessing on the world in general and the Kansas Academy of Language and Lit urature in particular, Miss Helen Ruth lag-alls gave a short analysis of Chopin's ballad, Op. 47. It represented, she said, friends meeting after a long separation, not quite sure of each other, but seeding perfect friendship. There is complete sympathy, then long struggles, hnaliy victory and happiness like the sparkling laughter of children. Miss Ingalls played the piece with fine execution and interpretation while the audience let their imagination loose to try to see the meaning. Some little folks on the front seat had heard what was said about the children and became a little uneasy when they thought it their place to come in, but finally were persuaded that the effect was to be only psychological. Miss logalls said bal-lahde and Chopon which affected her hearers not a lit tle. L. D. Whittemore of Washbarn col lege, was introduced and delivered the president's annual address, his subject being "Interpreters and Prophets." .Ear ly in the address Mr. Whittemore threw out in a careless off-hand way a heavy Latin quotation which so took the audi ence by surprise, the speaker being a small man, that it was thereafter very docile and easily swayed. Mr. Whittetnore proposed to show first why this ought to be an age of great lit erary production and second why it isn't. It ought because life is more intensified and knowledge has accumulated. It wasn't because there is a great army of writers, and individuals not armies create. "Besides," he said, "the charact er of the age is receptive not creative." "The reason there are no great poets," said Mr. Whittemore, "is much the same as that given by Life for the fact that so many have only written one good poem 'they take all the rest of their life to talk about it."- I Washburn College Glee Club sang "I Know a Maiden." Four boys sitting on the back seat tried to get up an encore but seemed to be out of touch with the rest of the gathering. "The Kevolt of a Native,"a stery, by Mrs. A. D. Gray, was well read and well written but a little long in reaching the inciting moment. Lillie Maria, an old slave "auntie," is the heroine. Abram Seaton and Judge Penfield own neigh boring plantations. A bitter enmity ha3 existed between their families for years. Lillie Maria whose mother worked for tae Seatons is now in the employ of Judge Penfield and wishes the men to be friends. The judge is to give a big dinner party. Lillie Maria gets hold of an extra invitation and sends it to the Sea tons. Seaton comes and is so glad that Penfield has eaded a quarrel that ha never desired to perpetuate. Penfield is awestruck but dare not tell of the mis take, so a reconciliation takes place and all goes merry as a marriage bell. Lillie Maria has heard the whole conversation through the keyhole and is overjoyed eaying, "it do appear dat Providence work in a mysterious way." The only things to mar the general ef fect of the story, were that the tables groaned.aud Judge Penfield was three score years old and had a tine head of hair without a single gray one. Miss Florence L. Snow, of Neosho Falls, entertained her hearers. She read in a clear voice, with an animated manner, that caused every one to give her the closest attention. Her poem, "The Lamp of Gold," was composed of seven com plete sonnets of the Shaksperean struc ture. It had for its text the story of the golden candlestick lost in the liber, as expressed in the extract from the Mar ble Faun: "I fancy you are mistaken." said Hilda smiling, "There was a mean ing and a purpose in each of its seven branches, and such a candlestick cannot be lost forever." The rythm of the sonnets wa3 smooth and the author succeeded particularly well in Imparting the spirit of her work to those who listened. The couplet which closed the last son net was: And whoo rightly heareth shall behold 1 tie light that burns in the lamp of gold.' "Gone to Be a Mormonite" was sung by the Washburn Glee Club led by a young man who accented every word with a shake of his head, and the exer cises closed. The members of the association were reminded of the annual dues of one dol lar that the treasurer was willing to re ceive, and a short business meeting was held at the close of the programme. The Old Moldtera' Plat. The improvement of the soldiers' plat in the Topeka cemetery is nearly com pleted. The twenty-foot spaces between the former rows, allowed for a pathway, are being graded and sodded and will add more than twice the original space for burying purposes. The improvement will cost about $200 and when com pleted will make the most beautiful plat in the cemetery. Everyone is asked to contribute to this plan to help defray its expense. A. Verdict for Karr. The district coart jury In the cock fight case returned a verdict for William Karr, in which Vincent Kaczynski was ordered to pay Karr $25 his half of the stakes and interest to the amount of 53 cents. Harry Lodge says the cock fight did not take place iu his barn. It was In an adjoining barn. Ctood work done by the Peerless, SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Items or IoUrcit A bout Topeka feopla and Vlitor in Town. A wedding, the details of which were indicative of simple and refined taste, oc curred Wednesday evening in the home of Mr. and Mrs. S..K. Cross, their eldest daughter, Mary Lillian, being joined in matrimony with Mr. Charles Ross Kitchell. The archway between the parlors was framed on either side with palms, and here the bridal couple were met by Rev. Dr. Blakesley just as the hands of the clock pointed to half past eight. No sound was audible, save that of the clergyman's voice, as he repeated the impressive words of the ring service, and after receiving his blessing the relatives and friends extended the heartiest con gratulations. The sun never shone on a fairer bride, and she wore an exquisite empire gown of white Japan habitai silk, with yoke of brussels net, high collar and pinget ruche. Rutfies of net overlaid with duchess lace fell over the puffed sleeves, and a puff of brusseU net outlined the bottom of the skirt. She wore no gloves and carried a single, long stemmed white rose. A pink topaz necklace was twisted about the coils of her dark hair, and no other jewels were visible. She was attended by her sister, Miss Nellie Cross, as maid of honor, who wore a gowa of bebe blue china silk, the round neck edged with a deep bertha of cream lace. Short puffed sleeves were met by white suede gloves and her slippers were of white suede. She car ried a bunch of pink roses. The rooms were softly lighted and smilax twined about the chandeliers; bowls of pink and yellow roses were in the first parlor and in tbe other were big clusters of white roses. Each guest received a souvenir box of wedding cake and the bridal pair left for their new home amid a shower of rice. The bride has li ved in Topeka since childhood, although the last few years have been spent in the study of music at Chicago, she is a highly accomplished young woman and popular in society cir cles. Tho groom has been an employe of the Santa Fe Company for several years. Air. ana Jirs. JvitcheU will be at home at 409 Fillmore street. Miss Knowlm Entertains. M iss Bertha Knowles entertained a dozen friends very pleasantly Wednes day evening. Tiddle-de-winks and oth er games made fun for the g-uests and Mrs. J. P. Wahle sang-. Miss May Gor don played and Mr. John Sargent sang. Her guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Wahle, Misses Lizzie and May Davis. Rhoda Knowles, Lena Spauldinff. May Gordon and Messrs. Lewis Roby, Frank Peacock, John Sargent, James Hezlett. Fred Mason and R. L. Thomas. McMillan-Agard. The marriage of Miss Elsie Ae-ard. eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. Agard and Mr. .Miles H. McMillan, occurred yes terday afternoon at the home of the bride s parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. Aeard. 2001 Clay street. The ceremony was performed at 3 o'clock by the groom's father. Rev. J. McMillan of Concordia, the trio standing in the Day window -which was banked high with blooming plants. Miss Anna Campbell played Men delssohn's wedding march, and while congratulations were being offered, soft music was a fitting accompaniment for the pleasant words. 1 he bride wore a gown of cream white crepe de chine with sleeves and vest of Japanese brocade. The neck was fin ished with a crush collar of the brocade and ruffles of chiffon, fell over the shoulders. The skirt was slightly draped and around the bottom were folds of crepe and brocade. She carried nineteen La France roses tied with long loops and ends of white satin ribbon. The cosey home was brightened with bowls of roses and carnations and the piano was draped with ivy. Boxes of wedding cake were distributed among the guests and Miss Lena Free man drew the one containing the ring, a plain circlet set with a cluster of moon stones. The bride is a bright young lady with winning manners and has been employed in the car accountant's office of 'the Santa Fe. The groom is book-keeper and trav eling manager of the Kansas Newspaper Union.

THE MEN'S HATTERS AND FURNISHERS. Y0UI3MS HATS. AT THE CITY HALL. Ickel-ln-tbe-Slot Machines May Come Under the Ban. It is possible that every nickel-in-the- slot machine in Topeka may be banished from the city by order of the city coun cil. The war against the slot machine has been waged successfully in Kansas City,Atchison and other towns making no pretense at being "good" towns, while in Topeka the most cultured and moral city west of Boston allows her youth to drop nickel after nickel in the machines and get an occasional cigar in return. Some of the councilmen are already talking about it Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bradford says there seems to be no doubt that the machines are "games of chance." Councilman Fellows, the president of the council, says that while the machine business may come within the province of the council to destroy, he does not care to do so, personally, unless urged to do it Mr. Fellows thinks a majority of the machines are an "even break" so far as the operators are concerned, and they represent considerable outlay to the pro prietor. One dealer who has three slot-machines in his store, says the machines lose more cigars than they would retail for. He has them simply to "stimulate trade." Topeka has her full share of slot-machines, from the ordinary little musical wheel to poker-machines and race tracks. Ihey are freely patronized and not many young men can be found but who will insist that they are "ahead of the machines." POLICE IMPROVEMENTS, A Floor Is Belafc Kaiaed Other Repairs Contemplated. A. B. Whiting chairman of the board of police sommissioners, made a recent call on City Clerk McFadden, and the two went to the office of Mayor Harrison and held a consultation. The confer ence was regarding some improvements that are imperative for the safety of the city prison, and as the result of the con sultation it was agreed that the repairs should be commenced at once. The most nee'ded mending is the rais ing of the floor to the men's cell-room. The heavy iron Cages in this room have caused one side of the floor to sink five inches, and appearances indicate that it is liable to fall through at any time. The floor will be raised with "jacks" and braces put under the floor on a founda tion that will be prepared for them. Contractor Council will superintend the work. Most of the labor will be done by the prisoners and the city's material will be used, so that the expense of the repairs will be nominal. It is intended to tear down the tower on top of the police headquarters and put a new one there, and also change the interior arrangements so the police court will be held up stairs, but it will be necessary to advertise for bids for this work, as it will cost more than $100.

Southwestern Kan. a Visited By lug Kaiu Latt -Nit lit. Secretary Coburn, of the state board of agriculture, says western Kansas receiv ed a soaking rain last night. A telegiatn from Ness City said: "We had heavy rains last night. The giouud is vs.-t down six inches." The counties of Sedgwick, Harper, Kingman and Cowley all received pcod rains, and the indications are that every county in the southwest was visited by a general soaking rain. The people in ttie west were almost discouraged and wheat was drying up. Wanted Ifim to Talk. There are some disadvantages which at tach themselves to persons who have be come famous. These, however, often have their ludicrous side. It is said that atone time Henry Clay was traveling in the west and stopped over night in a little loct cabin inhabited by an old man and his wife. After breakfast the next morning his old host, who had been iu a flutter of excitement ever since he learned who his distinguished guest was, said he would like to make one slight request be fore the visitor depart ed.

KANSAS VIAVI CO., Topeka, Kas. t at FOE LITTLE FOLKS. A. Vounjf Bicycle Rider. Boston claims the proud distinction of having the youngest bicycle rider in the world. Master Thomas John Shepherd is big name, and he lives with his father in Roslindale, a suburb and annexed part of Boston proper. Thomas is a daisy, and lis ridea the wheel with the pleasure and the knowledge of a veteran. He is but 4 years old now, and he began to ride when ho was but 3. He rode a 29 pound wheel last season and weighed just two pounds more than his machine. This year he will ride a new bicycle built esiecially for him, which will weigh just 9 pounds, and his father i9 'of the opinion that it will not tire the youngster, although he did some long distance work last year that seems sim ply incredible when one considers his years and his size. He is exactly 3 feet 4 inches in height and wears the sweater with the emblem of the Roslindale Bicycle club. His fa ther is an enthusiastic wheelman, and the boy often accompanied him last sea sou on his rides about the country. The longest ride ho ever took was one of 25 miles, at an eight or nine miles an hour pace. There is an interesting incident explaining how tho boy learned to ride. Thomas had a three wheeled velocipede and he was much interested in it and took great pleasure in it. He soon began to covet a safety, and his father took off ono of the rear wheels of his velocipede, and substituted a single wheel. He told his little enthusiastic son that if he learned to ride that wheel he could have a safety. This was an easy job for the little chap, and ho scon mastered 'the mystery of keeping his equilibrium on his new steed. Then came the regular 6afety, which Thomas John Shepherd rides with pleasure and enjoyment. He has a medal which was presented to him by a party of gentlemen whom he met on the road on one of his trips. It is presented to the "youngest known rider in America. A Snow Leopard. Ttecently, and within a few days of each other, two valuable additions have been made to the collection of animals at tho zoological gardens. Both belong to tho feline family, and both are leop ards, but here the similarity ceases. Tho ono is entirely blacli, with short fur and accustomed to the tropical climate of Johoro, in the Malay peninsula, while the other is a snow leopard, with long fur and thick, bushy tail. The latter is a native of the heights of the Himala yas, and that it is a dweller in a cold cli mate is fully evidenced by the length of its fur. The snow leopard is docile and good natured, so that the keeper can en ter his cage with impunity. The black leopard, on the contrary, is ferocious- Although in a wild state, snow leop ards are by no means uncommon in some parts of the Himalayas, and their skins are no unknown trophy to hunters, the newcomer of the zoological gardens is the only representative of the Felis uncia in captivity. His present abode is in the lion house, where he is housed because of the dryness of the atmosphere, which is more essential to his well being than his native cold, for he is a martyr to bronchitis. On the voyage home he be came very friendly with the cook and thereby contracted luxurious habits. With his morning meal he drinks tea and milk, and mutton broth is Lis favor ite food. The ages of the two newcomers are uncertain, but they are believed to be between 18 months and 2 years. Of the two the snow leopard is by far the more valuable from the zoologist's point of view. He represents a totally distinct species, the Felis .uncia, from which is derived "ounce," a name by which he is locally known, and is as different from the ordinary leopard as the Persian is from the ordinary short haired cat. Londffn Graphic. Origin of Boys ISrigrades. The Rev. R. M. Ueming of the New York Baptist Missionary society recent ly delivered, an address on "The Boys Brigade' in the Strong Place Baptist church, Brooklyn. Mr. Demiug is the originator of this brigade and spoke eloquently of its object, growth and power throughout the United States. The idea of a boys' brigade originated in the west and proved very popular in that section of the country. The first company in New York was organized in 1892. Then companies were formed in Brooklyn. "In Brooklyn and New York there are over 3, 500 boys enrolled as members of the brigade. 2Ir. De ruing said: "The movement is not a scheme to provide for the boys a perpetual picnic or free circus, neither does it develop in them a spirit of belligerency. It is em phatically the opposite of all this. Its sole aim is to create in the boys the highest Christian, character possible." Brooklyn Citizen. LATEST THOUSANDS STIiONG. The Coke Strikers Tarn Oat in Bis Force Situation Serious. Uniontown, Pa., April 13 At daylight today the strikers from Wheeler and Morrill, Oliver and the works south of town assembled at Cool Springs, about a half mile east of town. Shortly after daylight they started 600 strong and marched to Lemont No. 1, where the sher iffs and a posse of men are in charge. They did not go near the works, but went to the company's houses and tried to pre-' vent the men going to work. The dep uties made a charge on them with drawn guns and chased them away. The strikers marched to the plants south of town, going to the extreme south end of the region. There delega tions joined them all along the line and when the mob passed east ofhere there were 10.000 men in line. They had banners flying and marching to martial music. Nearly all were armed. They kept on towards Sayer Branch, where they are to begin the raiding of all plants in the section coming from that point north. All the plants were under heavy guard and while the workmen nearly left the yards for fear of trovble, the deputies re mained to protect the protect the prop erty. The strikers showed more deter mination today than at any time since the killing of Paddock. Thomas Flynn, one of the leaders, was arrested in Scottdale, and jailed here to day for complicity in the murder of Pad dock, alike Brabet was also arrested at Youngstown for inciting riot. Consta bles Chick and Collins attempted the ar rest of a Hungarian, but were assaulted by a gang of Hungarian women who rescued the prisoner and drove the officers from the ground. There was not the slightest stir in the northern end of the region today. Many of the men returned to work today. DEACON WHITE SQUEEZED. He Dropped 11,000,009 Bushels of Wheat Through Armour's Advice, New York, April 13. On Wall street it is said that Deacon S. Y. White has been badly squeezed in the recent fall in price of wheat. Those who should know claim that the deacon began buying a few days ago on the advice of P. D. Armour, of Chicago, when May wheat sold at 61 cents. He increased his holdings, so the re port had it, by more than a million bush els, with every half cent advance. At one time he could have sold at a hand some profit, but Mr. Armour had assured him that wheat was worth 90 cents, and should sell at that figure. When the price touched 60 last week, the Deacon is credited with having had 11,000,000 bushels.

A RAILROAD CHANGE. ISeoelver Trumbull Secures Control of the ltuad From. Denver to Julesburg;. Denver, Colo., April 13. Receiver Frank Trumbull has secured control of the Gulf road from Denver to Julesburg, and this branch will now be controlled by the Gulf system. The change is important in view of the fact that neither the Gulf line nor the branch is of value without the oper ation of the other, and also that the Union Pacific had contemplated aban doning the branch. This arrangement makes the Gulf road a competitor for direct eastern business. Arrangements have been made for joint stations, switching and repair shops. DR. KEELEY SUED. Chas. F.

At a little dinner party given, in one of the best hotels the host ordered wine for his five guests. Niot caring to pay for too much champagne, he first ordered "white wine." "What kind?" asked the waiter. "The best you've got." "Do you wish to look at the card?" o, J ust give ua the best you've not. About three quarts." The waiter obeyed, and all aereed that it was very good indeed. Late that night the host called for his bill. He had figured, his bill at about $60. It proved to be more than 100. What's this he asked. "There'a some mistake here." They gave him au itemized bill lust to satisfy him. He ran his eye over it UBtil he came to the "white wine" item, aud then he gasped: Three quarts at $14 $43 1 hat must be good," he remarked. "Yes, sir. The best we have."

"It is well worth a trip to the North Carolina coast," said Colonel Keogh, of that state, "to see the operations of one of the big- seines in the waters along" Albemarle or Pimlico sounds. Some of these big- nets are fully two miles long1, and so heavy that they are drawn ashore by steam power. And what enormous takes are fre quently made barrelfuls of herring at a single haull Yet I don't know of but one man who has made much money in the business. The very abundance of the fish makes them cheap, and railroad facilities in that section are limited." "Abundant as the finny tribe is In the North Carolina waters," said Colonel Walter B. Evans, of Florida, who had been listening" to Colonel Keogh, "it is not till you g'et down into my country that you find fish in multitudinous quantities, so to speak. In the Indian river, particularly, they are far too thick for the fisherman, and often embarrass him with their redun dancy. "I shall never forg'et one experi ence I had down there.' It was a dark night and a party of us were on the river in at good-sized sloop after big fish. We had not been long ancliored when the light in our boat began to attract schools of mullet, and into that craft they jumped by the hun dreds. Yes, thousands. Well, we stood it for awhile, till the burden got too heavy, and we felt the boat beginning- to sink. Then hurriedly blowing out the lights and pulling an chor we made for the shore. X am positive if we had let these fish keep on piling into us they would have car ried all hands down to a watery grave. As it was we made a narrow escape.' VACCINATION AND PRAYER. A Little Tot Who Had Foil Faith In a Combination ot tbo Two. Here is a little story, the incident occurring during a' period when the town of Winsted, Conn., had a stnall-pox scare. It happened when things were at the worst, and it occurred in the household of Benjamin Richards. Mr. Richards has a little daughter, and she took it to heart quite forcibly be- cause the churches were all closed, and so she dressed herself In some of her mother's clothes one Sunday morning, and perching herself upon the stairs, proceeded to hold church services. The little tot was choir and soprano and preacher all in one. Af ter calling- upon Mrs. Howe to sing a hymn she personated a well-known vocalist and sang and then she did a little preachins? and then made a prayer. The prayer was short and was as follows: "O, Lord, make the small-pox go away. Don't let the small-pox get my papa or my mamma nor me nor any of us. O, Lord, we ve all been vacci nated and it's working b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-1- 1-y on all of us. Amen." We are pleased to state that the prayer was answered and that the little tot and all of her family came through the ordeal in good order. A WARM SEAT, The Young: I.atly Was Hot, While Every One Wa C00L In a party of strangers being- taken through the Chollar workings, near Virginia, Nevada, was a girl who, when preparations were made to go down the incline, was assigned to the lower seat in the "girAffe." After the giraffe started the girl slipped down at the feet of her companions and found a seat on something, the nature of which she did not stop to investi gate. A short way down the in cline, she remarked that 5 was getting warm. Further on she repeated the observation, and her companions remarked that they had not noticed, it, while the miner who had the party in charge assured her that the incline was supposed to be cooL She continued, to call atten tion to the heat, however,' and at the station she scrambled out of the giraffe, exclaiming: "Whew! but it was hot in there!" The miner was mystified, but casually looking at where she had sat, the light dawned upon him, and he electrified the entire party by dryly remarking: "It's no wonder you were warm; you were sit ting on that gentleman's lantern." Took a Sitting Hen With Her. An Atlanta paper is credited with having originated this story: "An old lady, living in Jackson county, who was possessed of a sitting hen, just hatching at the time, when she had occasion to go to Jefferson on urgent business, and having no one to leave in charge at home, put the pipped eggs and hen in a box of hay and took them along with her on the train. Be fore she reached her destination the eggs all hatched, and she returned home next day with a fine brood, of. young chickens, which may boast of the distinction of having been hatched on a passenger train running at full speed." A Birth and Death Coincidence. John Sobieski, the king of Poland, who immortalized nis name by "deliv ering Vienna from the Turks," was born June 17, lo29, and died on June 17, 1686, being exactly 67 years old. There are two other queer coinci dences in connection with Sobie ski's life: He was elected to the throne on June 17, and there "were terrible tem pests all over Europe on the day of his birth and also On the day of his death. .With m Sing-1 Ballet.' Three rabbits were recently killed with one bullet. The first rabbit, fifty yards away, was shot with a 300 bore Martini rifle through the shoul der; the second, about two yards further, through the neck; and the third, about three yards from the second, through the bead. Two were full-grown, and the third nearly ao THE SASTA TZ E0UT2. TRAINS TO RIDK OV. In effect on and after April 12, 1894. WESTBOUND. I-ave Kansas City. Ariive Tjpeka. Leave Topeka. Trains.

Eugene Sandow, mention of whose passage through Topeka on the Califor nia train was made in last evening's Jour nal, was seen by a Journal reporter in his private car for a few moments as it Btopped at the Santa Fe depot. Mr. Sandow and his party of twelve were on their way from Chicago to San Francisco where they will play an engagement at the midwinter fair. They carry a special baggage car filled with stage apparatus and horses which they use in their exhi- bit ions. As the reporter entered the car Mr. Sandow, dressed in a grey sweater and a slouch hat, was engaged in watching the throng at the depot platform, which would probably have been crowded if there had been any intimation of the presence of so famous a personage. A very pleasant gentleman is this lat ter day Sampson, with hi3 blonde hair and blue eyes and prominent muscles, which stand out plainly visible in spite of his apparel. 41 am glad to see you," he said in very broken English, to the newspaper man, as he smilingly extended his great right hand, which the reporter took doubtful ly, expecting it would crush him, but the grip was barely firm: "I am always glad to see newspaper men; they are my friends, and to them I owe my fame." Ask me any question you like," he added, "I shall be pleased to answer." "To what do you attribute your aston ishing strength. Air. Sandow?" "To a knowledge of physical possibil ities and a studious regard of solid health rules. I was not particularly etrong as a boy, and had no idea of ever being what you people call me, a Sampson, until I was well in my 'teens. My fath er, who was a German peasant, took me to Venice and Rome once and I saw there some 6tatues of Hercules and other wonders of ancient mythology, and I asked my father why there were no men like them today. He replied that such things did not so much occupy the pub lic mind now as formerly. I thought I saw my chance. "Here was an unfilled field, and I made up my mind to try it in the inter est of science. You behold the result," and he arose, marched over to a member of his company and with one hand lifted him easily from the floor for a moment and smilingly placed him in a seat The man must have weighed 170 pounds. "How do you maoage to exercise while travelling?" asked the reporter as he edged away to a respectful distance. "I exercise not half so much as von, probably. After my performance I take m cold shower bath and am rubbed down. spring medicine like Paine's celery com pound; years have shown the wisdom of doing so. April has always been set down as the be6t time to remove impurities from the blood and to regulate the nervous system. The. formula of Paine's celery corn pound was given to the world by Edward E. Phelp's M. D LL D., while he was still active professor in the Dartmouth medical schooL A remarkable nerve food and blood purifier, it is the most valuable contribution to the world's progress that American college influence has sent forth. Its power of restoring lives of countless men and women from feebleness and despair to strength and usefulness is known in every part of the country. It has added years of active, joyous exis tence to thousands of weak, tired-out, ailing women who thought themselves doomed to be invalids for the rest of their days. Paine's celery compound cures thoroughly and finally rheumatism, neu ralgia, dyspepsia, diseases of heart, liver, and kidneys, and-every form of nervous weakness. It cures as nature cu res, by feeding the vital inmost parts of the body, the blood, and nerves.

I have been well treated here and shall stay some months yet. I would like to make America my home." "You never feel a desire to enter the prize ring, do you, Mr. Sandow?" the re porter asked hurriedly as the bell rang. "I am not a brute' replied the strong man smiling. LITTLE BOYS' BONANZA. They Started a "Drive in Gloves" But the Police Ended It. Two little, boys were playing in the alley back of Sharuni's dry goods store at 015 Kansas avenue this week and found an old bag containing several boxes. They asked A. II. Sharum for them and he gave his consent. The boys took the boxes and found that they contained kid gloves, each box containing two dozen pair. The boys at once began selling the gloves for ten cents a pair, or three for twenty-five cents. When the police learned of the great cheap glove sale they arrested the boys and took them before Mr. Sharum. He corroborated their story and they were released, but made to return all the gloves they had left. April Ads.

Under False Pre tenses On Warrants Drawn on the .Permanent School i'nnd in favor of X. O. aieCrinlcy. More crookedness has been discovered in the records of the state school fund commissioners, but the latest discovery date3 back to the last Republican ad ministration. Money was obtained un der false pretenses on warrants drawn on the permanent school fund in favor of N. D. McGiuley. Attorney General Little and State Su perintendent of Instruction IL N. Gaines this forenoon visited the office of County Attorney Safford and asked him to issue a complaint for the arrest of ex-Superintendent of Instruction Geo. W. Winans, ex-Attorney General L. B. Kellogg and ex-Secretary of State Wm. Higgins. Superintendent Gaines and General Little had discovered that during the ad ministration of their predecessors three warrants had been drawn on the state school fund in favor of N. D. McGinley, and were signed by the school fund com missioners, by which McGinley drew $1,650 from the school fund, for which there is no record of value received. The first of these warrants was for $500 and was drawn July 24, 189 J, and on its face was charged up to' School district No. 29 of Crawford county. The third warrant was for $500 and was drawn November 11, 1890, and on its face was charged to School district No. 12 of Logan county. While there was nothing put on record to show what these warrants were for, the records in the state treasurer's office show that on August 5, 1892, George Winans paid into the state school fund $650, and again on December 7th, he paid into the same fund $1,000. This money paid in by Winans was the total amount drawn on the three war rants in favor of N. D. McGinley and saved the state to all loss although County Attorney Safford said when the matter was laid before him this morning that it was clearly a case of obtaining money under false pretenses. McGinley, who was bond clerk in the office of the superintendent of public instruction at that time, had the war rants cashed at the United States Sav ings bank as is shown by the indorse ment on the back of the warrants. County Attorney Safford. called the attention of General and Superintendent Gaines to the fact that the drawing of these warrants was known to the officials at the state house at the time or soon thereafter, and on that account the stat ute of limitations would prevent a crim inal prosecution. Attorney General Little said he was not so sure about the statute of limita tions, but said he would look the mat ter up. LOCAL MENTION. Assistant State Bank Examiner Wat erman is at Ottawa.
