JOES OF 1EWELLII1G. ilhey Lead a Strong Fight V.f Against Him, In a Conference of Populist Leaders HELD AT EMPORIA. Eesolution JoKeepOfliceHolders OtS-jConventions m-ji: Adopted But it Is Afterwards Iieseinded. Osage Miners to Protest Against Lewjlling. Governor Lewelling's administration did not receive much consolation out of the first meeting of party leaders of the campaign which was held at Emporia yesterday afternoon and last night. The Emporia meeting was called by Chairman BreidentUal of the state cen tral committee, and by the chairman of the congressional committee ol the fourth district. In addition to the members of the cen tral committee, many prominent Popu lists of the district were present, and it is Chairman Breidenthal's plan to hold similar meeting's in each district. At the afternoon conference it was de cided to hold the congressional conven tion within ten days following the state convention, which has not yet been called. The calling of the convention was left with a sub-committee. P. F. Yearout, secretary of the con gressional committee, led the fight against the administration, by making a strong speech against officeholders being admitted to seats in conventions, in viola tion of the ordinance of the Omaha plat form. All the middle of the road Populists favored standiug by the Omaha ordi nance, but the lusionists objected. The resolution was finally adopted. At the night meeting, none but the faithful were admitted and even some members of the congressional ccmmittee were not regarded as .sufficiently in touch to remain in the meeting. Joon after the evening meeting was cafled to order, Chairman Breidenthal objected to the presence of Ed Corning, one of the members of the cental com mittee from Shawnee connty. Breiden thal said Corning was a son of Cyrus Corning, editor of "the Topeka New Era and the is ewEra was not orthodox enough to be in the party conferences. IV. II. Bennington and J. Y. Robbins, the other members of the committee from Shawnee, objected to Corning be ing excluded from the conference, but Chairman Breidenthal was boss, and Corning was tired out. In this conference there was a big row over the endorsement of the administra tion, which was led by W. H. Benning ton and Harrison Kelley. Bennington said the party was managed by a corrupt lot of schem ing politicians and he declared- that cone but Democrats and fusion sympathizers, had been given positions under the administration in Shawnee county. He recited the story of the appointment of Commissioner of Elections Frank Herald, and told how the seventeen members of the local com mittee had visited the governor and pro tested against the appointment of Her ald. Herald was present and resented Ben nington's speech, but did not succeed in closing his mouth. It is said the night conference refused to stand by the resolution adopted at the day meeting excluding office holders from conventions. The Osage and Shawnee county dele gates were united in their fight on the administration and the Populist miners of Osage county will issue a manifesto in the lew days protesting against the renomination of Lewelling or any mem ber of the present state administration. The feeling among the members of the congressional committee was largely in favor of the nomination of S. M. Seott as their candidate for congress, to make the fight against the re-election of Con gressman Curtis. II ILL A TRAITOR. Sis I'tttranccf Kxclia the Indignation and Derialon of lallforala Demucratt.

London, April 17. The action of Mr. Scott Hall against the Earl of Abingdon, the former asking the court to cancel the contract for the purchase by the plaintiff of Citmner Place, was continued today. Mr. Hall's contention is that the earl's agent represented to him that Cumner Place was the house in which Amy Rob- sart died, and that the ghosts of Amy Robsart, Varney and Anthony Foster often appeared there. Visitors, it is claimed, came from all parts of the world, and especially from America, to see the place. Mr. Scott Hall added that he afterwards discovered that Cumner Place was not the house in which Amy Robsart was killed, and that the original Cumner Place was in ruins and situated some distance away from the place.

Vice President How ard, of the union, said today he would see what the company proposed doing before permitting the men here and at Minneapolis to go Out. Howard says he is now advised of every move of the company and a strike here would interfere with this knowledge. The union insists that the company is trying to secure help in Chicago, but this is not admitted by the officials. Chief Arthur arrived today and will probably confer with President Hill.

This Morning:, Bound Straight For the Na tional CapitaL TO GATHER HECKUITS. The Army Expected to Soon Number Thousands. Gen. Kelly Disappointed in Not Getting- a Train. Cumberland, Md.,April 17. The army .of the Commonweal was astir by day light preparing for its barge trip to Wil liamaport. ''Tooting John" White, the bugler, shrieked the reveille from the grand stand at the edge of the ball park camp just as the sun was topping the rugged mountains on the east of the river. The men rolled out of bed sweeping down their apology for a tent and swiftly bundling it with bedding into the wagons, J there was scant time for a perfunctory washing before the line of march was formed and the army plunged down into the deep canon through which the pike runs into Cumberland. The mists and shadows still hung about the tow"ering rock walls 500 feet above and through the cold still air, the marchers sent echo ing the strains of "The battle hymn of the Republic." Through the Town. Solemnity was changed to laughter as the army made its way through the town swapping rude jests with the crowd on the sidewalks, where all the prominent citizens of the town had turned out to bid them godspeed. Both Carl Browne and Coxey made short farewell addresses from the canal bank before they started down stream, thanking the people for the kindness that had been shown the array and promising to march back ver better roads than Cumberland had ever seen, all of which was to be the result of the bond issue bills the commonweal is going to have passed by congress. W hen the Potomac burst into view there was something about the nam? of this grand stream that thrilled every man in the command, from the specta cled commander, who was sitting lan guidly in his carriage, to .the veriest scullion of the cook's tent. Even Browne could not suppress his feelings. With a yell which, was quickly taken up by every man in the command, the lieuten ant swung his old sombrero like a cow boy in high jinks. On the Grand Potomac. The Potomac has seen an army or two during its interesting career, but it it doubtful if its sloping banks and foam flicked pools ever beheld such a column of human beings as they did today. Ap parently appreciating its helplessness like the country through which the cru saders have passed, but hospitable withal, its swirling eddies and rambling cata ract seemed to sing an invitation to the marchers to wash themselves. But they didn't. They marched along with all the alluvial accretions that are possible to be acquired in a three weeks' tramp from Ohio to Maryland, wholly unmindful of the noble and almost pleading river and resolutely pushing forward toward the big white capitol dome which towers above the stream farther to the east ward. There is now every reason to believe that Commander Coxey's army will as sume serious proportions soon after it leaves Cumberland. Eighty men who havci been camped here for over a week waiting for the column to appear, will fall into the ranks, and the police de partment has information that 300 com mon wealers are in camp at Hancock and 1,000 more at Oldtown. To Mobilize at Frederick. "The desperate efforts being made by the commands in the west to reach the capital by May 1, indicate that there is a mysterious and significant scheme on foot to mobilize somewhere near Fred erick. THE SPOKANE BRANCH. It Now Numbers Fifty Recruits and They Will Start Soon. Spokane, Wash., April 17. The Spo kane branch of the Coxey army now numbers 250 recruits. Barracks have been made out of an old church build ing. It is said that the men will stay in the camp here until the Puget Sound regiment arrives and proceeds with them. THE TRAIN NOT FORTHCOMING. Kelly's Industrial Old Not Get a LI ft from the Rock Island. Omaha, April 17. Kelly's occidental army of industrials is still encamped on the Old Chautauqua grounds five miles east of Council Bluff. Instead of find ing a train of box cars ready to convey the soldiers on their way east they found that they had been tricked for the sole purpose of getting them to break camp and leave Council Bluffs. The officers of the army are bitter over what they call the bad faith shown by the officials of Council Bluffs and Potta watomie county. General Kelly says that while he was not actually promised that a train would be provided for his sol diers, still he was led to suppose that the Rock Island company had made-such a promise. The night was spent quietly in camp. Provisions are running low and several of the army officers came to Omaha this morning to try to secure the donation of more supplies. Violence Reported In Nebraak. The only violence that has so far oc curred as the result of the presence of Kelly's army, is reported from Crowell. on the Elk Horn road. Ten recruits from the Black Hills, on the way to join John Kelly's command, were found riding in an empty box car. The train crew attempted to throw o2 the men, when a vicious fight was precipi tated. Conductor Brown engaged one of the men and used him up badly-, when he picked up a glass insulator and hurled it at the conductor, striking him in the forehead and fracturing his skull. The brakeman was also badly handled. W'estpoint authorities captured the men. The fight having occurred in Dodge county, Sheriff Milliken was telegraphed for and tok the prisoners to Fremont. LEADING WOMEN IN IT. Sirs. Russell Sage and Mian Helen Gould Espouse Woman Suffrage. New York, April 17. That there is an earnest desire on the part of the fash ionable world to learn the true inward ness of the woman suffrage question was made apparent yesterday. Three meetings were held in the homes of women who are well known in social cir cles and whose names carry the weight of influence. A' rs. Russell Sage and Mrs. George Place were the hostesses. Mrs. Sage's friends listened to the arguments of .Airs. Wrm. A. Montgomery of Rochester, and Mrs. Blatch, a daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stauton, who in spite of having ar rived only in the morning on the steam New York, kindly volunteered to take the place of her mother, who was unable to flu her promise to speak, as she was detained on her journey -from the west "by the recent storms. There were more than two hundred guests present. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gage have signed the petition in faver of the proposed con stitutional amendment designed to grant to woman the right of suffrage. Miss Helen Gould also has put her signature to the petition that is being circulated in Tarrytown, and her presence yesterday at Mrs. Sage's was solely for the purpose of adding her influence to the movement in New York City. STREET RAILWAY STRIKE It Seemt Imminent at Milwaukee on the Electric Liaei. Jilwackke, April 17. The street railway employes of the city who are preparing to resist the cut in wages on the first of May scored a point this morn ing when a committee from the men" waited on the management of the elec tric lines and compelled them to desist from hiring and breaking in new motor men and conductors, under the threat of an immediate strike. The men at the same time notified the railway people that they would not ac cept a cut to 173- cents per hour, which they had been notified would take effect May 1. The present indications are that a big strike will be inaugurated on the first of May unless the railway management re cedes from the present determination to cut wages at that time. At a meeting of the men last night at which 350 attended a motion to resist the cutby a strike was unanimously carried. The leaders of the trade and labor or ganizations are taking a hand in 'the affairs of the car men. and will assist them should they be forced to go out. WAITE'S BOARD IN.

REED VJHDICATED. After Reviling "the Czar" for Two Years, Democrats Are Forced to Adopt His Plan TO COUNT A QUORUM. The Rule Was Adopted by a Vote of 212-47. The Republicans All Voted For It. Washington, April 17. There was a large attendance on both Bides and in the gallery when the house met today in anticipation of the fight, over the new quorum counting rule. Mr. Catchings, from the committee on rules, secured recognition before the journal was read, and after withdrawing the rule reported last Thursday, present ed the report agreed upon just before the house convened, as follows: "Amend rule 15, by inserting between clauses 1 and 2 the following as clause 2 and change the number of clause 2 to clause 3: 'Upon every roll call and before the beginning thereof, the speaker shall, name two members, one from each side of the pending question if practicable, who shall take their places at the clerk's desk to tell the names of at least enough members who are in the hall ofthe house during the roll call, who do not respond when added to those responding to rnke a quorum. "'If a quorum does not respond on the roll call, then the names of those so not ed as present shall be reported to the speaker, who shall cause the list to be called from the clerk's desk and recorded in the journal and in determining the presence of a quorum to do business, those who voted, those who answered present and those re ported present, shall be considered. Members noted may when their names are called, record their "votes notwith standing the provision of clause 1 of this rule.' "Amend clause 1 of rule 8, by adding this to the following words: 'And on a roll call should he not vote, he shall answer present,' so as to read: 'Every member shall be present within the hall of the house during its sittings, unless excused, or necessarily prevented and shall vote on each question put unless he has a direct personal or pecuniary interest in the event of such question and on a roll call shall he not vote, he shall answer pres ent.'" Catchings suggested an hour and a half as a limit for the debate, but Wells of Wisconsin, a Democratic opponent of the rule, objected strenuously to such brief debate. Bynum (Dem., Ind.) proposed two hours on a side, and Milliken (Dem., Tenn.) opposed rushing new rules through with undue haste. The Republican minority of the rules committee, Reed and Burrows, did' not put in but watched every point vigi lantly. Finally Catchings agreed to two hour's debate on a side with a vote at 4 o'clock. Burrows Offer a Substitute. Burrows, on behalf of himself and Reed, offered as a substitute the quorum counting rule of the Fifty-first congress, as follows: "On the demand of a member, or at the suggestion of the speaker, the names of members sufficient to make a quorum in the hall of the house who do not vote, shall be noted by the clerk and recorded in the journal and reported to the speaker with the names of the members voting and be counted and announced in determining the pres ence of a quorum to do business." The speaker then submitted the re quest for unanimous consent to close de bate at 4 o'clock. To the great surprise, Wells objected. This ended the attempt at a peaceful agreement. Later. The quorum counting rule has been adopted by the house by a vote of 212 to 47, the Republicans voting for it. INDIANAPOLIS SENSATION. Wm. B. Copeland Shoots Wm. H. Birunlg Serioualy, but Not Fatally.

MEDICAL FRAUDS. Or. Dykes to Arrett the Manager Of tlie Chicago Dlapenaary. The war against quackery which Sec retary H. A. Dykes of the state board of health, has been waging vigorously, strikes near home by the announcement today that the "Chicago Dispensary com pany" which has its chief office in To peka, at 727 Quincy street, with lock box 178; and has branch offices in a dozen Kansas towns, has been placed under the ban of the state board of health, and Dr. L. G. Remaley, who ap pears to be at the head of the concern, will be arrested as soon as he can Le caught. The "Chicago Dispensary" (which has no office in Chicago), has been doing a big business in Kansas. The first com plaint received by Secretary Dykes was from Seneca, from E. A. Bullard, the health officer of Nemaha county. Dr. Dykes investigated the matter and says he became convinced that the institution is a quack concern of the most danger ous stamp. He called at the office on Quincy street and found it in charge only of Mrs. Mabel Remaley, the wife of the so-called doctor. When she ascer tained Dr. Dykes' indentity she begged piteously that she should not be arrested and said if she was released she would turn state's evi dence and convict her husbaud, who she admitted to Dr. Dykes, was a quack and a fraud. Dr. Dykes agreed to this and Mrs. Remaley gave the secretary a complete description of the workings of the company, a large amount of its printed advertisements and circulars, in addition to the promise to testify against him. When asked whether Remaley wa her lawful hasband or not, she said: "Sir, do you mean to insult me';" but said her husbaud had partially taken up with an other woman named Ida Blade. Mrs. Remaley said to Dr. Dykes that her husbaud was a dangerous man and will kill her if he finds out that she has told the truth about him. Dr. Dykes guaranteed her protection. She also gave Mr. Dykes a letter written at enecii in which he writes: "I want to make all the money I can in this territory before they chase us out. I made $85 today and $350 this week." The "Chicago" health restorers have advertised freely all over the state, both in newspapers and by circulars. One of their most used circulars is the large col ored dodger which guarantees the fol lowing cures: "We positively cure catarrh in 4 to 10 weeks, bad colds in 48 hours, coughs ia 2 to 5 days, headache in 3 to 10 minutes, neuralgia fa 10 to 30 minutes, toothache in 3 to 5 minutes, bronchitis in 3 to six days." All of which is "guaranteed." PASSED FIRST READINU. BUI to Aboliah Veto Power of I-o rdn lining Fuihed. London, April 17.

HONORING YAHCE. f Stately Services Performed by the Senate Yesterday, Over the Bemains of the Late 1 i Senator. DECKED IN FLOWERS. TheFldrat Tributes Profuse and Beautiful. WASHiysTOic, April 17. When the senate reconvened at 3:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, after the recess taken out of respect to the late Sen ator Vance, the chamber presented a metamorphosed appearance. The chairs of the senate had been crowded more closely together and additional seating capacity was obtained by bringing in a large number of light folding chairs and placing them in every possible space. Large uphol stered armchairs were placed in the semi-circular space facing the vice president's desk, those of the family of the deceased stateman and invited guests being on his left, and for the president and other officials on the right. On the clerk's desk was a massive floral piece, representing a tall column, composed of the dark, copper colored leaves of a North Caro lina plant, while at the foot of the shaft was the emblem of peace, the palm branch, and twined around it a wreath of La France roses. This was the tribute from the-deceased state men's colleagues in the senate. At 3:30 the casket was borne from the marble room by nine capitol po licemen in uniform and laid before the vice president's rostrum. The lid was hidden by a mass of flowers, chiefly white roses tied with broad purple ribbon. When the active pallbearers had deposited their burden, a number of pines were brought in and grouped about the form of the dead benator. Everywhere was the pine, seeming to bring the pungent fragrance of the North Carolina mountains into the chamber. A few minutes later the family of Senator Vance entered and soon after committees of the senate and house appointed to attend the funeral entered. Then came the honorary pallbearers who were seated at the side of the casket facing the andience. "The speaker and members of the house of representatives," announced the usher and Speaker Crisp was es corted down the main aisle and took a seat beside the vice president, while' the members of the house ranged themselves in the space in the rear of the hall. Then followed the chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court, who were shown to their seats. -"The president of the United States and his cabinet," was announced by the usher, and the assembly arose and remained standing until the presi dent, accompanied by all the members of the cabinet except Secretary La mont, passed down the main aisle and were seated. Sir Julian Panncefote, the British ambassador, was escorted to a seat next to the cabinet officers. Other distinguished guests who were present but not announced were liishop Keane, rector of the Catholic university, who came in quietly and took a seat at the extreme right of the vice president's dais, and the com mittee of the District of Columbia So ciety of the Sons of the American Revolution, General J. C. Breckin ridge, General A. W. Greely, General George 11. Shields and Captain C. D. Cowl e 3, who occupied seats in the re served gallery. At 4 o'clock, the invited guests being all present. Rev. Dr. Moses D. Iioge, of Richmond, Va. offered prayer and then delivered the sermon. The funeral escort left the capitol by the eastern door from the senate chamber. The casket was carried down the long flight of stone steps between the lines of senators and representatives, who acted as hon orary pallbearers. The funeral party was driven to the Pennsylvania depot accompanied by a delegation of North Carolinans on foot. The re mains were taken to Asheville, N. C, where the interment is to take place, on a special train over the Richmond Danville road, which left Washing ton last night.. Resides the commit tees of the two houses, it carried the family of the late senator,, represent atives of .the ofhee of sergeant-at-arma and secretary of the senate and a committee of citizens from North Car olina.

The Far Will Fly, Owentoji, Ky., April 17. The news of the verdict in the Pollard-Breckinridge case created no particular sur prise here, and especially among the voters. The feeling regarding Breckinridge is about the same as before the verdict- If any thing his friends appear more active, as they assert that the result of the trial will cut no figure in this erd of the district. Breckinridge telegraphed to some of his friends yesterday that he was in the race to win, and to communicate the same to his friends in this county.

Wfien Coxey's Army Gets to Washinsrton, How Can It Be Properly Dis posed Of? OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT. Plenty of Laws Dealins With the Situation. WASHisroTOsr, April 17. Washington authorities, civil and military, are be ginning to take an active interest in the arrival of Coxey's army. As the conmonweal approaches, and the sto ries of detachments from various cities begin to be authenticated, the outlook for a rather troublesome problem for the district authorities to solve be comes brighter. The question is: What will become of the Coxeyites after they disband? The individual members of the arnfy will be without means to get out of the city, and Gen eral Coxey himself has disclaimed all intention of leading away the men he brings in. It begins to look as though the men might encamp in the Dis trict, and practically say to the au thorities: "Here we are; and what do you propose to do with us?" The District commissioners had pre pared yesterday a list of the statutes under which Coxey and his men could be arrested and dealt with. There is no lack of law laws against vagrancy, against bringing paupers into the District, against assembling on the capitol grounds or procession without a permit are in force. Commissioner Ross, the president of the bord, said the authorities do not think they will have trouble in deal ing with the Coxey army, and that he considered the invasion chiefly dan gerous because of the precedent it would establish. If disgruntled fac tions were to form the habit of marching upon the capitol in force to voice their demands, he thought it would be disturbing to legislation and decidedly uncomfortable for the resi dents of the city. There are 450 men on the local police force, but of course only a fraction of this body would be available to handle the Coxeyites, and the probabilities are that it would be necessary to call upon the militia for assistance. There are 1,600 troops so well drilled that they could be massed in marching order on two hours' no tice from General Albert Ordway, their commander. Kelly's Army Walk Out of Council Bluffs. OMAHA, Neb., April 17. Smooth shaven and sunburned, but with bright eyes and firm steps,' General Kelly's troops marched out of Council Bluffs at 3 o'clock. At the head of the pro ession rode the general on a spirited sorrel horse, loaned him for the occasion by a sympathizing citi zen. Along the street the general was given an ovation, and several times was stopped by citizens who de manded a speech and the privilege of shaking his hand. By his side rode Sheriff Bazen, who went more as a pilot than a peace officer. Behind, with regular platoon formation, blan kets rolled and bundles carried knap sack fashion, trudged the army, with step as firm as the muddy road would permit. The general expressed a wish to cross the eastern boundary of Iowa at as near due east of Council Bluffs as possible. This made Davenport the point of crossing the Mississippi river and elected the Rock Island as the route to be followed. Progress of the Commonweal. Cumberland, Md., April 17. Con trary to general expectations the army of the commonweal did not leave here yesterday. Tne experience of mountain climbing in Pennsylva nia which nearly disintegrated the army, deterred the leaders from at tempting the hard climb over the steep ridge of Sidell mountains be tween here and Hancock. Coxeyvhas been making a determined effort all day to secure canal boats to take the army by water to Williamsport, thus giving the men and horses another three days rest. The people of Cum berland have become greatly recon ciled to the commonweal army and instead of meeting them with a vig ilance committee on the edge of town as was threatened, have given them the use of the baseball park and the city has contributed freely food and money for their support. More California Recruit. San Francisco, April 17. The city authorities are arranging to send 500 unemployed to Chicago via Mojave for $2,000.

Wells-Fargo Co.'s iron box was broken open and the contents taken. It contained about $2,000 in silver. Two horsemen coming along at the time were ordered to stop and turn their backs upon the scene, but they overheard the robber tell the driver he would count what he had got when he had more time. Passengers and mail pouches were unmolestd. Deputy Sheriff Dream and a posse of eight men started out immediately in pursuit of the robber. BRECKINRIDGE'S APPEAL. The Colonel and His Counsel Preparing to Move ror a New Trial. Washington, April 17. Representa tive Breckinridge and his counsel were engaged yesterday in preparing their formal motion for a new trial, which will be presented to Judge Bradley to-day. This motion is a mere formality in the way of an ap peal to the district court of appeals, for no one entertains the slightest idea that Judge Bradloy will overrule the jury and grant the motion. The motion will be based upon the usual grounds that the verdict was contrary to law and to the evidence, and that the damages were excessive. Chicago Citizens Protest. Chicago, April 17. A delegation of prominent West side citizens called on Mayor Hopkins yesterday to protest against the opening of the Garfield race track. They informed the mayor that the track had previously been conducted in a disgraceful and law less manner and -that its influence was extremely harmful to the city. Mr. Hopkins refused to say what action he would take, but remarked in a general way that he is not op posed to tracks. The delegation de parted crestfallen, and it is generally believed that racing will be resumed at the track. Morrill Captures Atchison County. Atchison. Kan.. April 17.

Dcn't bs dacenred by Substitutes! Prepared by Scott Bowse. N. V. All DruffgUU. TJIE CAPTAIN CONVICTED. Tb Commaniler of the Tramps Gets a Ton Days Sentence. A one-legged beggar with crutches, whose face is well known on Kansas av enue, was arraigned in police court this morning, on the charge of disturbing the peace. He says his name ia J. Thomp son. He is a confirmed member of his profession, and is in one sense the cap tain of the "gang." It is not always easy for an ordinary man to make a success of begging, for men are apt to be prejudiced against a etrong robust constitution; but when the begger has but one leg or ia otherwise crippled, the case ia different. So it happened that Thompson was a great success. When he had accumu lated a sufficient amount, a convention y was held, and the crippled man would turn over enough to the general treasury to buy a half gallon of alcohol. Then a general good time was enjoyed until the "white horse" was exhausted. Then Thompson was again sent out. lie would also slip around and hand tobacco and other material in to his pals who were serving sentences on the rock pile. The police say that Thompson has been plying his trade on Kansas avenue for about a month. He has frequently been ordered to leave town, and has promised to do so. He has been ins.ulting to those who refused to give him money. tie asked to be given another chance to leave town, and said he was not able to work for the city. The judge made his fine $10 neverthe less. SHAFFER WILL CASE. Prabite Jadga tlllot Listens to the Arguments Today. Arguments were completed today in the contest case of the will of the late Howard S. Shaffer, in the probate court, ilr. ShalTer committeed suicide about two months ago, at 423 Lincoln street, by Bhootiug himself through the heart. Air. Shaffer was. a man in more than moderate circumstances and left an es tate on which 25,000 is a low valuation. In his will Mr. Shaffer bequeated all his property to his wife, except $5 each to his daughter, Mrs. Olive Spencer, of Athol, Kansas, and her two children. An unpleasantness existed between Mr. Shaner and his daughter which led to his practically ignoring her in his will. The nature of thia unpleasantness was "hot brought out very clearly in the testimony, and" ia kindly hid under a mantle of charity. It is lira. Spencer who is contesting the will. She alleges that her father was not in' his right mind, or at least sufficiently so to attend to business transactions at the time the will was drawn. Mrs. Shaffer contests this point aud says there was not a moment during hia last illness when he was not able to attend intelligently to his business affairs. The arguments were made for the con testant by W. II. Bishop of Salina and D. A. Mulvane of Topeka. Mrs. Shaffer's side of the case was arg-ned by J. B. Larimer and W. M. Forbes. The evi dence in the case was concluded last month. Probate Judge Elliot":, after the arguments, took the case under advise ment. It is stated authoritatively that which ever way Judge Elliott decides the case, it will be appealed to the district court. 11 ooil and Only Hood's. Are you weak and weary, overworked and tired?

MATTER OF FIGURES. Nothing to Do But Grin and Bear It. WASnrsGTOr, April 17. Special. Hon. Adolph Meyer, one of the represent atives from the city of New Orleans, has introduced a bill which he fondly hopea will accomplish all and mora than the Bland seigniorage bill could have done, 6atisfy the silver men for the present, rec oncile the factions of the Democratic par ty, pass both houses and receive the signa ture of the president. Any man who en ters with confidence r.pon so herculean a task as that is well worth listening to. In a lengthy conversation on the general sub ject Mr. Meyer said: "It is plain to my mind that silver has received it3 final defeat. I am not in favor of free coinage in the present condition and temper of the commercial world. I want the largest practicable use of silver, but gold must be the standard. And all thia talk of free coinage on a new ratio is beside the question. Practically it makes no difference what the ratio is with free coinage established, for there will be fluc tuation just the same, and we should al ternate between the two metals just as we did before, always using the cheaper one. But all thia is old. If we have free coinage at all, I am in favor of the old ratio. Twenty Dollar Bunds Proposed. "The first part of my bill authorizes the secretary to issue $20 bonds at 3 per cent interest, but not because I doubt his legal power to borrow under the resumption act of 1875. The argument against it seems to me very unlavcyerlike, for it is a regu lar statute which has never been repealed or nullified by the courts and has been re peatedly accepted as still in force. Of course it will continue the law until it i3 repealed, and they virtually admit that in seeking to repeal it. However, my bill makes tho power more specific, popularizes the bonds and fixes the rate of interest. It also provides for coining the seigniorage. 'I take no stock in that talk about coin ing a vacuum. The surplus silver is there and paid for, and so we have an unques tionable right to coin it. Thia bill not only does all that tho Bland bill would do, but more, for I am sure the second clause of that bill would operate to contract the currency us much as coining the seignior age would expand it. Down with us there is a great deal of talk, some of it wise and a good deal of it unwise, about the neces sity of more money, so much 'per capita' and all that sort of thing. Now, I think this is largely mere sentiment, but it is a quito general feeling all over the west and south, and even a sentiment ought to be gratified where it can do no possible harm. ''Another point, and it is really the im portant one, is that this bill will satisfy the president. It is all very well to talk about sticking to principle and passing laws to lit our first ideas, b ut it is the busi ness of practicable men to pass measures that can really become laws. In the com mon affairs of life men very seldom get just what they want, but content them selves with coming as near it as they can. A Change of Views. Mr. Meyer is a short and active man whose features show Israelite blood, and whose manner is all business, but just the same he was an active soldier for th ree years, leaving the University of Virginia at the age of 20 to join the army. The views of the few southern men opposed, to any further coinage of silver are mwch sought for just now, and commenting on tho new proposition Josiah Patterson says: "It is not because 1 am from a commercial city (Memphis), fori think my constitu ents are for silver, but when this question began to press on us I studied it as I never studied a political question before. I lit erally shut myself up for months and stud ied every document on the question, and with every desire to advocate free silver in fact, with a very strong bias in its favor I was compelled to decide against it. "I noted first that every really great and progressive nation had accepted tha gold standard with silver as subsidiary, and that the greater their commerce and the longer their experience with the two rnetaht ehe more were they set in favor of the iiold standard. Surely those nations understand their own interest, and it is not the credit or nations alone. We cannot say that the experience of all Europe must gofor naught, and that the judgment of their best minds on tt is all wrong. I then con sidered the hundred and thirty odd mil lion bales of cotton which the south had produced sinco the war, and that all the surplus of it, with very few and trifling ex ceptions, went to tho nations where gold is the standard, and chiefly to England. I could not consent to subject our people to a disadvantage in the exchange. "Again, thero is much 6aid about tho concentration of wealth and the big for tunes created, and I am satisfied that the foundation of it was laid in those green back times when the money was down to 40 cents on the dollar or less, and I am afraid that would happen again by tho fluctuations in the value of silver. One thing more, the parity can only be restored by a union of tho great commercial na tions, and if we should consent to absorb their surplus silver England and Germany and the rest would never agree to such a union. I am as certain as I can be of any thing that our repeul of the Sherman act and sticking to it have done more to bring Europe toward a favorable mind on bimet allism than had been done in 10 years be fore." Opinion of Lafe Pence. That these men should consider the de feat of silver final is not surprising, but when their argument was presented to Hon. Lafe Pence- a few minutes later it was a surprise to hear him sadly admit the same thing. "So far as I can see, said Mr. Pence, "we are downed, and downed for a long time, I am afraid. 1 have also been obliged to tell our people that after looking for it long and anxiously I cannot see the slightest hope of any revival in ag riculture for six or seven years at the verj, earliest. Why, it is a simple matter of fig ures, painfully plain figures. There is an enormous surplus raised. Our foreign market has been largely cut oil by this and that. Laws we cannot repeal must con tinue to work against us, and really I can see no show until the population grows big enough to take the surplus. In the meantime the farmers will wear one suit where they formerly wore two an d use their old furniture and other stuff, tnd so the market for manufactures will be out down well, $1,500,000,000 a year anyiiow, and legislation cannot help it any that we can get anyhow. The people will -ut the Republican party back in power for a while, but it will make no difference. There is nothing for us but to grin and bear it till we outgrow it. MAKING A GOOD JOB LAST. Working on the Census That Wu Taken ffamrljr Flva Years Ago. Washington, April 17. Census offi cials are confident that a thoroughly sat isfactory adjustment of the work of the N eleventh, census will result from the car rying into effect of the bill which has just passed through congress providing ior the extention of the time for the com pletion of the work until March 4th next superintendent of Census Wright said today: "The census act originally provided for a publication of names of all surviv ing soldiers and widows of deceased sol diers. At my suggestion congress has authorized the trauster of all tne names to the pension office where they will be of very great service. This action will save nearly 35u,0i0 to the government. It will enable the census otnee to com plete almost all of the clerical work by the first of July, as contemplated by the law of last October. There will be then only small portions of these volumes re maining to be completed, so far as the copy ia concerned. The extension of time is for the purpose of allowing the proof reading to be done by those most lamiliar with the census volumes. "Discharges of employes are being rapidly made, but in all cases a week or more notice is given those discharged and they are allowed all the leave uue them by law. "The statements that have appeared that the census reports are beiug doc tored are absurd. The reports are being brought out in all the integrity of Mr. Porter's plans. Wherever matter has been, or will be eliminated, it is, or will be," because it ia in accordance with his approved ideas. .No facts that were collected for the eleventh census have been in auy way supressed, or changed. As the superin tendent originally declared officially that it was to be purely a statistical census, the present administration, so far as still unpublished reports are concerned, is trying to conform to that declaration." UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. Passenger Rates From Peru to tne United States Exorbitantly High. Washington, April 17. United States Consul James Tremski, at Callao, Peru, says there is great discrimination in fa vor of Europe against the United States under the present system there. He quotes the case of a young American who, while on his way from Valparaiso, Chili, to New York by the way of the isthmus, stopped at Callao to express his chagrin for having taken that route. He stated that he could have gone from Valparaiso on the Trans-Andean railway to Buenos Ayres, thence to Eu rope, then from Europe is nearly the same and for exactly three pounds more. That is, for $15 more he could have trav eled over 12,UOO miles on the Atlantic side against 4,(533 on the Pacific side. The consul suggests the establishment by the aid of the United States postoffice department of direct and fast steamer lines from New Orleans and New York to Colon, and also on the weat coast of South America, which would be sure to secure for the United States a large share of trade. PRESIDENT CABLE'S TISIT. The Roclc Island President on Over the Road. Trip President R. R. Cable, of the Rock Island, was in town today, and took din ner at the Chesterfield. He was in his special car and was accompanied by Vice President II. Parker. They are on a grand tour of inspection of the entire line from Chicago to Ft. Worth, and went west at one o'clock. Mr. Cable looks well and says he is en joying good health. He is very well satisfied with his trip so far and finds the Rock Island in good condition. He will be out a week or two before return ing to Chicago. NO FEWER SOLDIERS. Emperor William- Wanted a Redaction liut the Czr Wouldn't Consent. Paris, April 17.j The St. Petersburg correspondent of a -Paris paper says that with the assent of the king of Italy and the emperor of Austria, Emperor William asked the czar to convoke a congress of the powers with a view to a general re duction of their military footing but the czar refused. A TEMPERANCE SUNDAY. Asked for by the state Temperance Union for April 29. The executive committee of the Kan sas State Temperance Union, at its re cent meeting, unanimously resolved that the proper officers of the union issue a call requesting all the ministers in Kan sas to hold temperance meetings in their respective churches on the last Sabbath evening of this month, April 29, 1S94, and that appropriate union services be held Tuesday evening, May 1, 1894, be ing the thirteenth anniversary of the taking effect of the prohibitory law. No law on our statute book has been more conducive to sobriety and good gov ernment, and no one has contributed more to the social, moral and financial welfare of our people. We therefore urge upon all the people of Kansas the duty and importance of the most rigid enforcement of the prohibitory law. The enemies of prohibition are con stantly and earnestly at work creating public sentiment adverse to the enforce ment of the law, and shall we be less active and determined in a good cause than they are in a bad one? It is work that wins, and honest, earnest, consistent work will give us' the victory so much desired. Newspapers please copy. J. B. McAfee, F. O. Popesoe, President. Secretary. Kassas City and.

Safe Blowers Work On the Hutchinson Postoffice, But Are Scared Away Before Securing Any thing. OTHER STATE NEWS. No ,3Iore Danger from River at Leavenworth Hutchinson, April 17. Burglars en tered the postoffice by prying open win dows in the rear of the building, and theki a window leading to the postoffice proper, and proceeded to undertake the taskpf going through-ihe safe. Thejr first tried to drill a hole through one of the doors of the. safe, but coming in contact with a metal which their bit would nek, penetrate, they changed their tactics, drilling through the side of the" safe, which-they seem to have done eas ily, inserting blasting powder and a fuse, which,vhen they touched it off. sprung the doors of the safe so that fingers could be Inserted a if. both the bottom and top of the doors. From marks on the safe it then seems that they tried to pry open the doors with a crowtiar, but failed, and something frighening them, they ran off. The operators are evidently amateurs, for after having gotten the doors so near open, they could with only a little more work properly done, have reached the inside of the safe, where money enough to richly repay them for their trouble awaited them.

It is now practically at a standstill as shown by the gauge. The river benjan subsiding at Omaha yesterday and that would indicate it will not be any higher here -at this time. Workmen have been engaged in strengthening the east approacii to the new bridge wherever such work was thought to be needed. The cross dike breaks the force of the water that pours over the big dike and is doing excellent work. It would stand a further rise of several inches. All trains are running across the river as if" no freshet were on. There is no danger. damages Against santa fe. Clifford Powers of Leavenworth Gets $2,750 for Injuries. Leaveswoeth, April 17. The dam age suit of Clifford Ray Powers against the Santa Fe rrilroad, growing out of -an accident in, a cut north of this city about two -years ago, was tried without a jury before Judge Myers of the district court and $2,750 was awarded the plaintiff. The suit for young Powers, who is a minor, was brought through a friend. Damages in the case were .much less than in the case of others hurt in the ac cident which was tried by a jury, and it is said a new trial will be asked for. A SEATTLE ARMY.

W. Gregory made a mistake in the date of the meeting of the com mission. The date on the circulars was April 23, but some of the commissioners convened here this week thinking Mon day was the date. Many men who were expected to appear before the board were consequently not present. Those who were present today held an informal and general discussion, partici pated in by Messrs. 'II. V. Hinckley, Samuel T. Howe, F. D. Smith, L. Bald win and Judge J. W.

As outlined by the Los Angeles con gress the reports of the state commis sions are intended to show as near as possible the amount of arid aud semi arid land; the amount of land now irri gated and the acreage' believed to be ir rigable; the sources of water supply, developed and possible of development; the co ;t of procuring, storing and deliv ing water on lands.

There were signs of unusual commotion about the union depot last .evening. The Lake Shore tracks were kept clear of all cars and local trains on both the eastern and western divisions were detained in. ex pectation of some apparently unusual event. Suddenly there was a roar and a jar and the Vanderbilt special flyer from the west rolled into the station. On board were Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew and President John Newell. The run eastward to Erie, a distance of 95J miles from Cleveiand was made in 95 minutes, including a four minute stop at Ashtabula for water, making the total running time for the 65 miles 91 minutes. From Colliuwood yards an 88-mile run was made in 83 minutes, including another four minute stop. From Collinwood to Saybrook, a dis tance of 42 miles was made in 36 minutes, or a rate of 70 miles an hour. The run from Kingsville to Dock Junction, 33 miles, was made in US minutes, or a rate of 70.77 miles per hour, the fastest time ever made on this division of the road. JAPAN TO HAVE ONE.

JOHN BROWN'S GREEJD. Col. John M. Brown's desire for office seems to be beyond his control. The "put up" meeting at the court house last night was net the success anticipated, although the plan to endorse Col. Brown was carried out. In his speech Col. Brown said he had only last week decided to allow the use of hie name as a candidate for state auditor, but CcL Brown should remember that the voters of Shawnee county re member the efforts of the Republican central committee last fall to keep him in the party at that time. This man who now wants a place on the Republican state ticket, says in all his speeches that he considered his own interests1 before hia party, and in an in terview last fall, said: "John Brown never throws his vote away, and the colored people do not propose to throw their votes away. If my vote does not go to help keep the Repub lican party in power, it will go where it can do the most towards putting the Re publican party out of power. The time has come when the Republican party must do something for the colored man, if it expects to receive his continued support." Now that CoL Brown has formally an nounced his candidacy for state auditor, it would seem that he considered himself "the colored man" who should be cared for. In a card published at the time Cel. Brown attempted to defend his interview by saying: "I did not say anything, but what I had a right to say and what it was my duty to say. I am not a political slave or a political coward, and I am not afraid of the political bosses in my party." Now, if Col. Brown still adheres to his last fall's statement, he must mean that if he is not nominated for state auditor he will bolt the ticket. CoL Brown can not expect the Republicans of Kansas to nominate a man for a state office whose party integrity is no stronger than his and who can not even secure the endorse ment of a "put up" meeting in hia own county without a fight. CATCHING OX. "Equal suffrage," according to Kate Field, "has become fashionable in New York city. She says, "Susan B. Anthony can at last put down her traveling bag and take life comfortably. She has lived to see woman suffrage fashionable in her own state, and in the city of all cities most hopelessly given over to the world, the flesh and the devil, according to the verdict of reformers. What has brought about this extraordinary revolution, 1 do sot know. It may be due to the conver sion of a few social leaders who have opened their eyos to the fact that they pay taxes without representation; it may be that an epidemic of political thought has broken out in Gotham. Perhaps woman suffrage is a microbe, bound to run its course, throughout the length and breadth of the land. God speed it, and arouse American women to the ne cessity of saving their country from dem agogues and foreign anarchists. A New York woman writes to a friend in the west: "'You never saw anything like it. New York women are going mad over suffrage. They drive up to Sherry's and sign petitions, make regular house can vasses, and fairly take away men's breath by the way they go on. Some under stand what they are about; ethers follow leaders and sign their names because they want to be in fashion; between the two that petition of one million will be presented at the May convention, and if we don't get what we want there will be trouble. The following are a few of the names found on the petition for equal suffrage in New York: Rev. Arthur Brooks and wife. Dr. Robt Abbe and wife, Margaret I Chanler, Dr. Wra. Draper and wife, Walter Damrosch, Chaa. II. Eaton, D, D., Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi, V. S. Rains ford, D. D., John Rockefeller and wife, Adele M. Fields, Rabbi Gottheil, William Dean Ilowells, Judge lly. E. Howland, Mrs. Jane Potter Russell, Russell Sage and wife, Mrs. Canduce Wheeler and Airs. Mar Mapes Dodge. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS. When they want to have a very select crowd at Falrview they have a "dollar social. A 40,000 barrel tank ha3 been received at Neodesha in which to store the oil from the various wells. A Parsons paper announces that the social whirl continues. The merry-go-round evidently has nerer left town. The senior class of the state university law school planted a tree on arbor day. They expect it to produce several limbs of the law: Baldwin is getlins: liberal it is now allowed to advertise a theater in that town provided it take place in some other town. Ft. Scott Monitor: There are two or three Kansas papers that it is very dan gerous to quote from, they are so apt to have appropriated without credit. About the only place in the state where the late rain was unwelcome was Emporia, because two rival nines at the normal had to postpone their ball game. Atchison people have been worked up a long time over the inroads the Mis souri ia making on its' western bank. Why should they care it is only a bluff. A church social and a dance occupied one building one night this week at Newton says the Republican; the social being held on the ground floor and the dance in the hall above. It is announced that "dirt will fly" for the Wichita auditorium today. This doesn't seem at all paradoxical to some men who remember that the money they invested in that town took wings. A new way of getting: rid of prairie dogs is being used in Finney county. A ball of cotton saturated with bisulphide of carbon is put into the hole. Even a prairie dog can't stand that and so leave3. Ft Scott is considering the question of closing the crap banks in that place, not of course because they are gambling dens but because there has been cheat ing by the bankers, and of course no gen tleman would do that. Wellington Mail: A man boring a well at Bird City struck six feet of cin ders at a depth of 270 feet That the place had been abandoned was evident, which means the old boy is getting further and further away from Kansas. Atchison Champion: A large white oak tree has been discovered on Sugar creek in the Missouri bottoms by George Henson, which shows marks evidently made by the Indians more than one hun dred years ago. The tree is one of th largest in that vicinity and is several centuries old. PAYING OFF WAR LOANS. Massachusetts Will Pay Oft" the Last of Its War Iebts. Bostojt, April 17. On May 1 the state of Massachusetts will pay off the last of its war loans. The entire loan, known as the bounty loan, and dated May 1, 1864, amounts to $3,402,148, of which l 022,643 is a sterling loan, and the bal ance, $4,879,500," is payable in United States money. It has been the object of the treasurer to buy in these bonds from time to time as they could be had on favorable terms, as the payment at one time of so large an amount ot money, one-half of which has to go to London, might be a disturb ing factor in the money market. In the sinking fund against these bonds the state held December 81, 1893, $2,310,113 cash, $2,972,740 of the bonds themselves and $1.0()0,000 Fithburg rail road bonds, which have since been pur chased out of the fund by the proceeds of a new loan. The fund also contains a large amount of Boston and Albany railroad bonds which do not mature until 1902, and some city and town securities which run beyond the maturity of the bounty loan. With these transactions and certain transfers to other funds, the money need ed to meet the outstanding bonds will bn in hand. PILES OF CASH AT FRISCO. Fifteen Millions in the Banks and no In vestment for It. Sas Francisco, April" 17. There is $15,000,000 lying idle in the San Francis co Commercial banks money for which the bankers can find no use. This i said to be the largest surplus that has been known for many years and it is still growing. The banks do not like it, as they prefer to hold good interest bearing securities instead of gold coin, which does not pay rents for the vault it occupies. This money is offered for loan as low as four per cent on first class securities, but all collateral is scrutinized more closely than was the case a year ago and unless it is gilt edge the money is hardly loaned at any rate.

Bow Patrick Walsh Made HU Mai lt as a Printer and Editor. v Senator Patrick Walsh of Georgia, who succeeded by appointment to the seat left vacant by the death of Senator Colquitt, is of Irish birth and about 55 years of age. He ia the principal owner of the Augusta Chronicle and has been editor of that paper for more than a quarter or a cen tury. He was the southern agent of the old New York Associated Press and after that organiza tion collapsed be- c a m e general manager of the Southern Associ ated Press. He has been promi nent in Georgia' politics for manrr SENATOR WALSH. years and has several times been a mem ber of the state legislature and a deVa gate to Democratic national conven tions. From 1884 tor 1888 he serWl as the Georgia member of the Democratic national executive committee. Walsh came to America with hVs par ents when a child. His father seW led in South Carolina, and Patridk le.AJ.-ned to set type in the office of the Charleston Evening News. He worked at tjnte case on various newspapers there for several years as a journeyman and laa' always been loyal to the friendships then formed. After he became the owner- of the Au gusta Chronicle and was wSell to do he one day went over to Charleston, and hunting up all the printe.s with whom he had formerly worked.' at the case he gave them and their fPtTnilies an elab orate dinner at one cf the principal hotels of the city. He chartered a steam boat and took the entire party for an ex cursion down the bay the next day. At the beginning of the war Mr. Walsh served in thjO Confederate army for a short time and then went to Au gusta and secured employment as a printer on The Constitutionalist, where he was soon advanced to an editorial position. While stfil on the staff of The Constitutionalist he edited a weekly pa per called The Pacificator, which at tained an extensive circulation. In 1867 he became editor of The Chronticle and 10 years later bought out the concern, annexed The Constitutionalist and haa since made his paper one of the most in fluential in the southern states. HE FIGHTS THE RAILROADS. The Governor of Texas Has Pronounced Views and a Vigorous Polficy. The publication of the spirited corre spondence between Governor Hogg of Texas and one of the superintendents of the Southern Pacific, road in relation to the transportation across the state of Frye's "industrial army" has once again attracted general attention to the sturdy and determined governor of the Lone Star State. It was not Governor Hogg's first bout with railroad officials, for he was the man who despoiled them of some 700, 000 acres of land of which they had unlawfully taken possession under the exceedingly liberal land grant act that formerly prevailed in Texas and had antagonized them in various other ways, so that it was said at the time of bis last election that he had to fight their combined opposition, strengthened by that of the whisky in terests and the foreign money lenders, who were also opposed to him. Governor Hogg is a man of positive convictions in regard to the laws and of tter' fearlessness in enforcing them. When he was first elected attorney general, he said he would purge Texas uf lawlessness and crime or he would bankrupt the state treasury. One of his knost notable endeavors to redeem that y ledge resulted in the life imprisonment i-tH liVSSrx GOVERNOR HOGO. of a man who had committed no less than 16 murders, and who had boasted that the state was powerless to check his career of crime. His course as attorney general ren dered Mr. Hogg so popular that he was nominated for governor in 1890 and elected by a majority of over 150,000 votes. He was elected for a second term by a plurality of 65,000 votes, but con sidering the forces arrayed against him and. the fact that a very popular inde pendent candidate -was in the field in opposition to him he claimed the elec tion as a complete vindication of hia course. Governor Hogg is a native of Texas and was born near Rusk, in Cherokee county, in 1852. He was left a penniless orphan at the age of 12 and had a hard row to hoe to get an education, working his way up to a lawyer's sheepskin through such varied classes in the school of experience as printer's devil, composi tor, country editor, road overseer and justice of the peace. After serving a term as attorney for Wood county he was elected district attorney of the Seventh district and then attorney general of the state, serving four years in each office. Yet he was not quite 38" years of age when he was first elected governor. JL Tip For Travelers. One pound of cork will support a man cf ordinary size in the water. PAT 7F AUTHORS. Pecuniary &ejrards ot Present Day Story Writers. F.S'jr icial Correspondence,! Boston, April 12. The appointment of a well Xmown author as postmistress of a een all town near here has again aroused "'aquiry regarding the pecuniary rewards, of literature, for, though the lady re if erred to is known to be 'popu lar, 'y.er royalties have not been suffi cient or her to disdain the emoluments of fa.e comparatively humble office for whi c h she made personal application. 3 "nere ia a wide discrepancy between thtj facts and the general public belief of the profits or lack of them attending literary production. Even the reports of f.J.es, of the number of books disposed tj3 buyers over the counters of the shop or book store, at the newsstand or from the hands of the canvassing agent, are made a mass of contradictions, confus ing to the ideas of the ordinary reader. Miss Frenzy rushes into print either through the medium of a paid advertise ment or the kindness -of some editorial friend with the statement that 50, 000 copies of her work, price 25 cents, have already been sold. Mr. Solid calmly calls attention to the item that 18,000 copies of his novel, price $1, have been taken from the publishers, yet the latter has mad the most money, for the prof its on 18,000 $1 books are the same or dinarily as those on 72.000 25 cent paper novels. He has demonstrated also a su perior gTade of literary workmanship, for few people, no matter with what indifference they spend a quarter on "leisure reading, will invest four times that sum in a book, even if universal opinion declares it to be "good. Royalties on books vary from 5 to 15 per cent on the retail price to from 10 to 15 per cent on the wholesale price, al though the general figure is either 10 per Cent on the wholesale or retail price. Thus an author may receive from 5 to 15 cents royalty on a $1 book. The lat ter sum has been paid only to a very few highly successful authors. Ten per cent of the retail price of a book is a Very satisfactory arrangement to the writer. The wholesale price is usually from CO to 75 per cent of the retail price, though some 25 cent books sell for from 10 to 12 cents, especially when a large edition is issued. But the financial and literary stand ing of the publishing house has much to do with all this, and it is quite advisable to accept 5 per cent from one publisher rather than 10, 15 or any other fancy figure from another, because the first named will Bell 5, 10 or 20 times as many books as the last, owing to its su perior facilities for advertising and its energetic methods. Its imprint alone is conceded to be a testimonial of the worth of the book. But there are exceptions to everything, arid it is possible that a comparatively unknown 'house" on Tremont or Wash ington street of this city, Fourteenth or Twenty-third street, New York, or Wabash avenue, Chicago, may be able to do better with a book than Houghton, Mifflin Co. Dillingham is selling many thousands of the books of a man who writes under the pseudonym of Albert Ross, hut many first class pub lishers would not succeed so well now if they cared to handle his productions. A. C Gunter was forced by the rejection of hia first novel on the part of 19 Boston and New York publishers to become his own printer. A representative of one of the largest publishing corporations in America has said that, although his firm has millions invested, it could not have made the success of "Mr. Barnes of New York," for the reason that the author publisher gave his entire time and atten tion to that one book, utilizing every known method and originating new ideas to have the people of the United States know of its existence. It is im possible for a publishing house, however great, to make a specialty of any one publication when issuing from two to a dozen books weekly. All publishers are constantly refusing manuscripts of books that are ultimately great successes and accepting others that are dead failures. They abide by their readers' opinions. They cannot do other wise. Literature ia a trade, or a profes sion, or a business, as yon will. There are no more failures, no more successes in this than in the jewelry trade or gro ceries, for 98 men out of 100 in business fail, but if the writer becomes a success he not only realizes a large sum of mon ey in an inconsiderably short time, but also achieves reputation and praise. No writer in the United States is more extensively advertised, is more widely known than William Dean How ells, but there are dozens of bookmak ers who have realized ten times as much money. J. W. Buel has had sold 800, 000 copies of a book that retails from two to three times the price of any of Howells' works, and this volume is but one of Buel's half dozen volumes. j The largest firms of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago have a "list" of booksellers who guarantee to take from the publishers a certain num ber one, two or five copies each of every work they issue. This list extends in number from 1,000 to 2, 500 copies, and thus the publisher ia protected from loss, as the number sold will cover the actual expense of publication. The book sellers make the guarantee because the books are sold to them at "special" rates, and any "live" purveyor of books can dispose of at least one volume. Literary conditions, however, have changed, and we shall nevermore seo the success of such poets as Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant and Holmes, though Will Carleton and James Whiteomb Riley have a host of admirers. Though there is an occasional exception like the 'John Ward, Preacher, of Mrs. Hum phry Ward, the "Ben-Hur" and "Prince of India' of General Wallace and the" "David Balfour' of Stevenson, sensa tional novelists and the wit and humor of Mark Twain, Bill Nye and M. Quad meet the approbation of the great read ing public at present, and so our Massa chusetts story writer and maker of deli eate verse has become an insignificant government official. Albert F.

See if it U not Opera Festival SELF BEFORE PARTY. John M. Brown Says He Looks Out for Number One. ENDORSED FOR AUDITOR OF STATE By a lleetina; of Celered. Men Called for ThatPnrpose-Brown XswPUeet Pkny Fealty Sixth On the Use CoL John 31. Brown, "King of Shawnee county," as he is called by come of his enemies among the colored men, was last night endorsed for state auditor by a meeting of colored people at the court bouse, which was called for that purpose. Sol U. Watkins, Brown's able lieuten ant, called the meeting to order and Rev. P. W. Barker was mad chairman and W. T. McKnight was elected secretary. George V. Smith, who held a job as janitor at the statehouse under the last Republican administration, addressed the meeting and said he would like to have a discussion as to whether it was advisa ble to endorse a candidate or not without calling a conference of colored men from over the state. W. L Jamison wanted to hear from the committee that called the meeting. George W. Charles was the only mem ber of the committee who was present and he said the members of the commit tee had held a caucus in which they de cided it would be a good thing to en dorse some home talent for state auditor. S. G. Watains said the colored people showed what they could do when they endorsed a candidate for constable, and he urged the endorsement of a caudidate for auditor. He said they should en dorse some man who could put up his campaign expenses if he should be nom inated as the Republicans have no ad ministration to assess for campaign pur poses. Dennis Hope was called for. He said: "It is high time the colored men are looking after something more than jani tor jobs; Ise had one of them all my life and Ise getting tired os it. 1 tind i am Mr. Hope about pay day and Dennis ever afterward. I think we should en dorse some colored man. I was raised in Kaintucky where Breckinridge was, but of course Ise of a different kind of stripe." W. I. Jamison addressed the meeting and said: "I did not know whose name was to be presented here tonight. Each county ought to be allowed to have some thing to say in the endorsement of a candidate for state auditor. It will not be a good thing to endorse anybody un less there can be unity among all the colored people of the state." The plan of the meeting to endorse Brown with a whoop was about to be blocked when Manager "Watkins offered a resolution that it was the sense of the meeting that some colored man should be endorsed for state auditor and that that man should be John M. Brown. W. D. Driver, a colored man who has lately come to Topeka for the purpose of starting a newspaper, said: "1 favor the part of the resolutions which endorse some colored men, but oppose the idea of naming the man for the state of Kan sas whicn has 20,000 black ballots. I am in favor of the negro but against the endorsement of any individual at this time." Rev. Mr. Price said: "I object to the word 'negro,' but this county ought to endorse its man." About this time the Brown men became enthusiastic and cheered loudly. Editor Pope, of the Topeka Call, who was standing back in the court room, said: "I don't understand the resolution before the body." "Then you can't discuss it," promptly responded Chairman Barker. George W. Smith again got the floor and said: "Brown will be met with more opposition at the state convention than any man that could be named here to night," and said Mr. Jones, of Graham county, has some rights which should be considered in the selection of a candi date. Editor Pope again attracted the atten tion of the chairman by declaring that "the 65 million negro voters of Kansas ought to be consulted in this matter, but I am opposed to foreign dictation" (meaning Driver.) Driver was on his feet and shouted back: "I have been a taxpayer in Kan sas for 23 years." Manager Watkins walked across the floor and pointing his linger at Driver said: "This man is not a voter in Shaw nee county," to which Driver replied: "I am going to vote here if any one does." Watkins then made his effort of the evening in Brown's interests, and the Brown backers cheered lustily. He said: "We are not going to have the wool pull ed down over our eyes by these men who are here to darken counsel. There is a plot here tonight to defeat a man for state auditor and get a few janitorships." He urged them to endorse Brown and calledfor a vote. The vote was taken and Brown was de clared endorsed. There were cries for Brown, and ac cording to the arranged programme. Brown was standing in the Lall just out side the door and came marching in with his hat in hand and overcoat on his arm. In his speech of over an hour's length Brown convinced all present of what they had known before that he could talk. He started out by giving his record, telling how he was educated at Oberlin college, Ohio; went from there to Mississippi, where he was elected sheriff, and afterwards came to Kansas, after he had some trouble and lost all his property. He referred to the fight which was being made on him, and declared There is not a county in the state where there is a corporal's guard of colored people where I can't get an indorsement," and in the very next sentence denied that he had ever claimed to carry the colored vote in his pocket. He said: "I had no thought of being a candidate for any office until about a week ago my friends came to me and in sisted that I should allow my name to be used. I had intended to stick to my farm." He denied all the charges that had ever been made against him, especially those that he had been an officeholder all his life, but in explaining he admitted his clerkship in the state auditor's office, his connection with the Freedmen's Aid bureau and his two terms as county clerk In addition to his experience as sheriff in Mississippi. Continuing, he said, If I am nomi nated all right, and if I am not nomi nated I will still be a statesman, though not out of a job.' (He did not say he would still be a Republican.) He said he was proud of his connec tion with the Brazilian movement, but said: "It is not a Brazilian movement; I am in favor of the colored people going to any point south of the line of old Mexico, where they can get cheap lands and can maintain their self respect." In closing he said: "I used to place party first, but I think more of my peo ple now, and now I place God first, my family second, myself third, my race fourth, my country fifth, and my party sixth." When the meeting was ended Mr. Watkins asked the reporters not to men tion that Driver took part in the meeting and said Driver was an ex-convict, that he was sent to the penitentiary from Kingman county and was pardoned out by governor Humphrey the record of which can be found on page 40 of the pardon record in the governor's office. Mr. Driver showed the reporter a letter of recommendation from State Senator McTaggart who said Driver had a good reputation and is a good writer and a good Republican although he "got into trouble in Kingman county through the age of consent law," but was pardoned by Governor Humphrey.

A TOPEKA BOY HANGED. Brutal Murder by Charles Wisdom, Col ored, Bringt Him to the Gallows. Another name has been added to the roll of those formerly of Topeka -who have achieved fame or infamy.

IT DAZZLES THE EYE. NEW SPRING DRESS GOODS IN FORTY TWO SHADES; Yet Fashion's Attempts to Adorn lovely Woman Are Like Sounding Brass and TinkJiDgr Cymbal Still They Muat Be In the Hatest Style.. Special Correspondence. New York, April 12. I had thought that human ingenuity could not invent anything new in the way of crepons, but today I rind an entirely new lot of de signs and effects. There are dimpled silk crepons, and how pretty they are one has but to think of the dimples on ba by's cheeks to know. These are soft and have a delicate surface that with every movement breaks into dimples. One watches it in delighted wonder. Nath- gPRTNGt COSTCMES. Ing can be prettier in woven goods. Nothing aside from the dimpled crepon can surpass it except a baby's pink, round cheek. There is another crepon of wool warp and silk woof. This drapes in a maimer to delight the soul of an artist. There are all silk crepons, but I do not think them quite as pretty as those having an admixture of wooL There are all wool and cotton crepons. To see so many styles and colors sets one thinking that nothing else will be wont, but there wi ll be, for there are the soft and pliable wool bareges, semi transparent and witii indented effects. The new lightweight tweeds and cheviots show new weavings, of which the natte and herringbone are favorites. Hoppack is also popular. The fine diag onal cheviot in jet black is one of the most ladylike and genteel gowns one can have. In one house a black diagonal cheviot was made with a plain five gored skirt, with five rolls of moire silk around the bottom. This made a beautiful trim ming. The waist was in the form of a postilion jacket, with moire revers and moire bow, with "point. lace ends shorter than usual, scarcely reaching the waist line. The sleeve3 were balloon puffs, drooping down below the elbows. The milliner'3 rolls and folds in a satin or moire bid fair to be a favorite trimming on all woolen goods. I saw a coat for a young lady, which was part of a suit trimmed in this man ner, which struck me as being very styl ish. The coat was of seal brown cheviot serge, with three rows of satin folds in inordore shade. The underskirt was of seal brown, and the open draped over skirt was oT mordore brown cloth, stitch ed. The sleeves to the jacket were of the cloth. The jacket was very full in tho back, and the front was finished with a ruffle of brown ribbon edged with gold. There are several novelties in summer silks thi3 week. Japanese taffetino is one of them. This comes in 42 different shades in fancy stripes, and they are lovely. Theso aro washable, and one could scarcely imagine a daintier thing for pretty summer gowns. The black japan silks are off exed in a firmer weave, though they are light and most comfort able for ordinary summor gowns. There are some new eCfects in changeable peau de soie. This is the richest silk we have by all odds. The moire antiques surpass themselves, and there was one pattern I noticed where the undershado was a frosty green, with white waves upon it. In gaslight it looks like moonlit waves, with a silvery sheen over the whole al most metallic in its brilliancy. Let us leave tho richness of grand toilets to the mothers and turn to the simplicity of the babies. Nothing is too fine and soft for them. Hand sewing is preferred for the pretty ones. Nainsook and soft linen lawns aro the proper ma terial. Less embroidery is seen on their clothes and more hemstitching and feather stitching. The hems are mado about three inches deep and are hem- 1 M FOU THE BABIES. stitched, sometimes in a fancy, penwork pattern half an inch deep. Bo ,vs of the same washable material are set on for trimming in preference to ribbon. Near ly all the slips are made very plainly, with the chief beauty in the fine and even hand sewing. Wadded wrappers made of cheesecloth, tufted with wool threads, are among the necessaries. These are feather stitched or herringboned all around. They are infinitely more com fortable for a baby than the old blanket they used to wear, which is now a thing of the past. All garments for wee babies are high in the neck and have long sleeves.

About 20 of the leading women of this city interested in church and benev olent work met recently and organized a Woman Suffrage association. Mrs. McLendon, a member of an aristocratic family, was elected president. Their idea is to push the question of woman suffrage so "as to have a good report to make to the national association, which holds its next meeting in this city. Within a month there will bo woman suffrage associations organized in every city in the state. The preachers of this city have taken a decided stand against the movement, which only challenges vhe opposition of the women. Atlanta Dispatch. TFiMnra's Grievances.

The women's movement in Germany is making great progress. The congress called by the lady delegates to the World's fair at Chicago met in Berlin recently, and it is the intention of the ladies to form a union of all the chari table and humane societies in Germany in order that the work of" the societies may be conducted upon a broader plan. A thorough exchange of views between the different societies is proposed, and it seems lilfely that the movement will have a decidedly beneficial effect upon the female mind in Germany. -Berlin Correspondent. One of Earope'a Beantles. Princess Youssoupoff, who has just lied at her home near Paris, was once one of the most beautiful women in Europe. At a very early age she was a widow and refused many offers of mar riage. However, when more than 60 years old she fell in love with a young man named Chauveau and became his wife. Two years ago he died, and the in consolable widow retired to her country home and there passed away. Princess Youssoupoff had an income of $250,000 annually, and her turquoises are said to be the most wonderful in the world. Paris Journal. Wife and Husband. Hitherto it has been the custom to speak of "husband and wife, but it is quite obvious that the tendency of re cent legislation is to invert the phrase. This tendency will doubtless be greatly intensified "in the good time coming" when the women, who constitute a con siderable majority of the population of the United Kingdom, obtain the suffrage and outvote the men, inasmuch as the "one woman one vote" will have a ma jority of 7 per cent over the other sex when "one man one vote" is the uni versal rule.

A Real Nice Fellow. Strawber Do you suppose Clara Penrose cares anything: for me? Singerly Well, she said some prettynice things about you last night when 1 waa there. Strawber Did she? What were they? Singerly (seriously) For one thing, she said you were a fine dancer. It was such a comfort, she faaid, to find a man who really danced well. Strawber I'm sure I'm glad she likes my dancing. I?ve spent enough time afc it. Singerly Then" she said your manners were perfect. It was a pleasure to go any where with you, she said, because she felt so perfectly secure with you and sure of you. Strawber (deligfhted) Gracious! I had no idea she thought so much of me as tha. Did she say anything else? Singerly Oh, yes. She spoke about your conversation. In the light society talk of the day she thinks you have no equal, and then you are so full of tact, and your clothes were always so stylish, so neat, without be ing too extreme. Oh, she gave you a great sendoff, old man. Strawber (beside himself) I should say she did. I must cultivate that girl. Beau tiful, rich, accomplished. What more could a man want in a wife? I have always (complacently) fancied her, but now I think the feeling is even deeper than that. Singerly (warningly) Don't let it get too deep, old man. I didn't tell you all. Strawber Didn't you? What more was there? Singerly She wound up by saying that, in fact, you were just the sort of a fellow that no girl would ever think of marrying. Exchange. Greatly Surprised. Lieutenant Blank of the army is 6 feet 4 inches tall and tips the scale at 250 pounds. He was stationed for many years in Wash ington, attached to a scientific bureau of the government, his writings being well known to the scientific world. Much of his writing was done evenings at home, and he would sometimes carry home necessary reference books and return them to bis office at will. One morning he gathered together several, none of them very small, and putting them under his arm started for his office. In the course of his walk he was brought face to face with a very black little negro, who, with arms akimbo, chin dropped and his shining black eyes filled with wonder, bad planted himself directly in front of Lieutenant Blank. Before the gentleman had time to do more than take in this apparition of dark ness the little "pickaninny" had thrown back his head, so as to be able to gaze up into the lieutenant's face, and in a tone of comical amazement exclaimed: "Gude gracious, mister, is you gwine to school?" Youth's Companion. Ab Unreliable Adage, "Doan' fohgit," said Uncle Eben to some Foggy Bottom boys who were play ing craps, "dat curses laik chickens'll come home ter roos'." "Maybe dey will," said one of the game stars, "but I hab knowledge ob some chick ens dat ain' gwinter come home ter roos', not no moli since night befoh las'." Uncle Eben looked sharply at the speaker, and turning away with a reminiscent smile said: "Da's so, chile. I reck en. Dar am chick ens dat won' git back ter roos' not 'nless dey comes back ez ghos' chickens. An I nebber am hyud ob no henhouse sukersti tion yit." Washington Star.

DILAPIDATED SHIPS. AU That is X-ft or tho Loss Brazilian Insurrection. Copyrighted, 1394, by the Associated Press Bkunos Atbes, April 17. The re mains of the Brazilian rebel fleet com manded by Admiral De Mello, which ar rived off this port last night are the sub ject of extensive exchanges of telegraphic messages between the authorities of this place and the Brazilian government through the Brazilian minister here. The rebel ships are the Republica, Meteora, Iris, Urano and Esperanza. They are in a very dilapidated condition and the rebels on board of them are suf fering from sickness, wounds and lack of proper food supplies. Their temporary wants have been sup plied, with the consent of the Brazilian minister, who has received advices from Rio de Janeiro saying that a general am nesty will be granted to the insurgent rank and file and that the Brazilian gov ernment will pay the quarantine ex penses of the ships if they are sur rendered to the Brazilian minister. Consequently the Argentine govern ment, with the consent of the rebel leaders is now superintending the de livery of the five war vessels to the Bra zilian minister, which will have been ac complished by the time this dispatch reaches the United States. The crews of the rebel ships here are being disem barked at the lazaretto here and will be cared for until further orders are re ceived from Rio de Janeiro. It. is be lieved that when the men and- ships are in a proper condition, they will rejoin the Brazilian vessels under the govern ment officers and return to Rio de Jan eiro. President Peixoto's government has notified the government of Uruguay that the expenses and passage money home of the insurgents who landed in the de partment of Roc ha, Uruguay, will be paid by the Brazilian government, and that they may all with the exception of the leaders, return to Brazil with no fear of being severely punished for the part which they have taken in the rebellion Nothing seems to be known of the ul timate destination of Admiral de Mello and General Saldago, although it is be lieved the former will take the opportu nity of escaping to some foreign country where he can hide himself for the rest of his life. On all sides the utmost contempt is ex pressed for Admiral De Meilo whose de sertion of Admiral Da Gama is looked upon as being a proof of cowardly treach ery which even the admiral's most inti mate supporters condemn. To such an extent does this feeling prevail that it is openly stated that Da Gama proposes to seek put Admiral De Mello and compel him .to meet in mortal combat. Those who should know Ad miral De Mello the best believe that he will take care to avoid any such meeting. If the rebel admiral falls into the hands of President Peixotd, there is little doubt but that he will be promptly tried by court-martial and shot. NO JUNKETING TRIP. The PopnlUt Railroad Assessors Won't Take Any Free Ride This Year. The board of railroad assessors has ad journed until May 22, when they will listen to the tax commissioners in refer ence to lowering of the taxes. It baa been the custom of the railro?i assessors to travel over the roads in the state before the assessment is made. The board has evidently came to the conclusion that it ia hardly consistent with reform ideas and anti-railroad doc trine, to be hauled over the state in a sumptuously fitted private car at the in stigation of the roads, and so this year it is given out that they will remain in their offices and let the roads come to them through their representatives. The board is composed of Lieutenant Governor Daniels, Attorney General Lit tle, Secretary of State Osborn. State Treasurer Biddle and State Auditor Prather. MUST BURY THE WIRES.

The scenes around the Wheeler and Morrell works last night revived memories of the riotous proceedings when the strike r.-ai inaugurated. Mobs of strikers march ed up and down the roads between the two plants and those who went to work yesterday were besieged by hordes of Huns and Slavs. Fires were built and watch kept up all night. The besieged workmen wero frightened almost to death. Many of them offered to surrender and join the strikers, but their wives and families dissuaded them from this action.

Judge J. W. Gregory of Garden City ia the chairman of the irrigation com mission, now in'the city. He is probably the best known and moat earnest of those who are working for national assistance, lie said today on the subject of irrigation: "The most feasible means of securing immediate results is that which is being so extensively employed at the present time in the vicinity of Garden City that is using pumps and windmills. The reason why this means is of so much value, ia that there is a great deal of land under which the water lies but a few feet below the surface and a pumping plant costs so little, that it is within the means of the individual, lie need not wait to organize a company, nor to effect any sort of combination. lie can have his own irrigation works ready in short order and be enjoying its benefits with out delay. It U. true that a man that is the average man can not undertake to irrigate a large tract in this way. The average area which one man should undertake to irrigate by pumping ought not exceed ten acres. But that area, properly handled, will provide a good living for the average family and a substantial margin for the savings ac count. We have families in the vicinity of Garden City making a good living off less than five acres irrigated by pump ing. "On a larger scale, and for future de velopment, ditches using water from the streams, supplemented by storage reser voirs and water obtained from the under flow, both by gravity "fountains" and by extensive pumping works, will irrigate a great deal of our land and make ft very' productive. In northwestern Kansas damming the numerous draws and thus saving the storm waters, will be quite a factor." "What do you think congress will do toward defraying the expenses of irriga tion experiments?" "Very little. So little and in a way so desultory and fragmentary that the bene fit will be minimized. Eastern farmers are bitterly opposed to having the gov ernment do anything at all in this line, and their opposition, coupled with the fact that much money appropriated in the interest, of irrigation has been wasted, will tend to prevent any fruitful action by congress until we of the arid and semi-arid rugions have at least onemem bfer of congress who will stand by irriga tion as Bland does by silver, for exam ple. '1 hen, and not until then, may we look for valuable aid from the govern ment." Wlit Great Bend Alan Says. L. Baldwin of Great Bend, ex-county superintendent of Barton county, is one of the state irrigation commissioners. He is very muci in earnest. He said to a Journal, reporter: "I think irrigation, can be mado a success in western Kan sas because there is an abundance of water beneath the surface that can be raided in various ways. Many methods are suggested. The pumping plan is much talked of by which the water would be pumped into reservoirs and high line canals, canals on the highest divides from which the supply could be drained on to the surrounding land. I consider the gravity method not suffici ently tried. It contemplates making a large excavation down to the underflow where there are streams like the Platte and Arkansas with a fall of so many feet to the mile, and then running ditches from this natural reservoir over the land between dikes and with a fall less than the natural slope of the land. "I don't know what congress will do. It should pass some of the bills pending before it to test, the supply of under ground waters and their distribution. Two bills are before congress. One in troduced by delegate Joseph of Isew Mexico, appropriating $500,000, and one by Senator White of California, for $2, 500,000. They both provide for experi ments and tests." NORTH TOPEKA.

City Clerk McFadden has been adver tiseing for ten days for bids for the con struction of a sewer in district No. 16, which is bounded by Jefferson, Quincy, Tenth and Thirteenth streets. These bids were to have been in by 5 o'clock last evening, and when that hour arriv ed only one bid had been submitted, and while it isn't supposed to be known un til opened whose bid it is, there is no doubt that it belongs to C. J. Rosen. If Mayor Harrison had been, in the city there would have been a council meeting last night to give Mr. Rosen the contract, and thus get rid of the matter that has been a source of annoyance since last fall. The mayor is in Wichita on business and may be away until Friday. Under the circumstances a meeting will not be held until next Monday. The history of sewer It is one of blun ders, delay and litigation. It was omitted from the big sewer 14 for reasons that nobody can explain, except a few who do so in whispers. By an oversight the city engineer neglected to swear to the estimate of the cost of sewer 16, last fall, and after it was about half com pleted one of the property owners suc ceeded in securing an injunction to pre vent the city froui levying a tax to pay for the sewer on this technicality. Ihis put an effectual stop to the operations, and it became necessary to begin at the first again, and advertise for bids. The clerk did this but nobody bid on the work and the clerk has been again advertising, with the result that Mr. Rosen made a bid, probably at his old figure. New es timates were made, and this time duly sworn to. In the meantime Contractor Rosen who had done all the work on the sewer and had material on hand to complete it, had not been paid for hi3 work, and the city had no way of paying for it. Mr. Rosen was liable to get big damage from the city. By giving Mr. Rosen the contract at the old figure the matter is amicably settled, and this seems to be the best way out of the muddle.

The ordinance is largely an ex perimental measure as the city never owned an institution of this sort before, and the ordinance will have to be changed later as the needs of the case demand. It is proposed to make the dump barely self-supporting. The city is not intended to use the dump for money making purposes, but on the contrary make its charges as small as the expense of operating will allow. Col. Durham charged tn cents per barrel for the use of the dump. The city will charge five cents at first, and later make the charge greater or smaller as need be. Mr. Tillotson is preparing the ordi nance under the direction of the Ways and Means committee, to which it was referred by the city council. v ISSl'BANCE MEN PAT. Th.y Are Doing Their Share Towards Relieving the City's Poverty. Several of the councilmen are talking of amending Topeka's license ordinance.
