pi 10 CENTS A WEEK, WOBDSJFJK A Remarkable Indorsement Given Gen. Kelly By General Manager St. John of the Rock Island. Says He is Honest and Thor oughly in Earnest. BUT STILL. NO CARS. If Transportation is Not Fur nished By Morning:, Kelly's Command Will Move Eastward on Foot. Df.3 Moines, Iowa, April 21. General Manager St John of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway who passed through this city last night from Council Bluffs talked differently from some other railway men about the "commonweal" army, its purposes and the menace it is to the country. In fact he does not think the people have anything to fear from tne army in passing through the country. "It is made up of sober, intelligent, determined men," he said. "They are nine-tenths of them American born. They are respectable, honest and remarkably well organized. There are no bums among them. The statements that have been sent out about their being tramps and all that sort of thing are utterly untrue. Their leader is a man of brains and character and great determination, and he is a religi ous man, too. He is a perfect gentleman and thoroughly honest "He will never permit any outrages to be done by any of his men if there should be auy inclination in that direction, which there certainly ia not now. He will not permit any tramp or disreputa ble person to enlist in his army, and he will remove the first one he can find. He Las absolute control over his men, which he could never have over a body of tramps, or disreputables. "He 6aid to me that hia men would never go back under any circumstances. They are going to Washington in some way, of that I am sure. 'We may be wrpng,' Kelly said to me, 'but we are de termined to go to Washington and pre sent a living petition to congress; one that cannot be thrown into a waste-paper basket. We think we are right and nothing can stop us. "What they can accomplish, I do. not see, but they are bound to make a pro found impression. There will be 100,000 people in Washington by the tenth day of May on this mission. And what can we do about it. Nothing, but treat them kindly and let them go. The more op position they meet the stronger they be come. The laboring classes all over the country are in sympathy with them. If they have a few more days of such treat ment as they have had the past few days, I tremble to think what may hap pen. You can not tell what a man will do when he is hungry and hunted down." "Did you see the men?" was asked. "Yes, I stopped at Weston at the re quest of Geo. Kelly and saw the men there. They are of the better class and I wouldn't be one bit afraid to take them to Chicago or any other city, for they will do no one any harm. They are mostly educated men, mechanics and a number of railroad men. They have left families in California and they are hoping many of them to get back east where they came from and find something to do to get their families back. They will never return to the west, for there is nothing for them to re turn to. They have been starving there. They are desperate men. desperately in earnest. "This thing is gathering like a whirl wind. It is vtry similar to the French revolution. It is a terrible thing, and it made me sad to find that there were 1,600 respectable, well meaning men re duced to such desperate straits in this country. We expect these things in the old countries, but it is no part of the pro gramme of a republic. It makes ua feel that there is something wrong with the government." THE SITUATION AT OMAHA. Mayor Bemlt Issues Proclamation to the People of Omaha. Omaha, April 21. At noon Mayor Be mia issued the following proclamation: To the Citizens of Omaha: Notice has been served on me as chief executive of the city of Omaha, by the officials of the Chicago, Rock Island fc Pacific railroad and the Burlington fc Missouri River railroad, that their com panies will hold the city liable for all damage don to their property by moba and lawless citizens. Now, therefore, I, George P. Bemia. mayor of the city of Omaha, hereby caution all persons within the boundaries of the city to desist from interfering with the roadways, rolling stock or other property of said corporations, and in all respects t observe the lawa and main tain good order. I furthermore urge and recommend that all parties in sympathy with the in dustrial army now detained near Coun cil Bluffs, contribute to their relief and in securing horses, wagons and subsist ence to enable them to continue their march across Iowa independent of rail road and corporate charity. All con tributions made through the mayor's offiee will ba forwarded to Gen. Kelly aa rapidly as they can be conveyed. Signed Gkobqk P. Bemis, M ayor. Kelly Sialces More Friends. General Kelly is commended on every side for his honesty and upri ght ne3s in refusing the train proffered him by the vast mob that captured it last night The train stolen at Council Bluffs by the engineers and firemen of the Union Pacific was a Union Pacific engine vtiih Union Pacific cars, ou the Rock NIG1IT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL Island track. Kelly declined it because he had not broken any law and did not intend to start in hers. His course has won him more friends than ever. A largely attended meeting was held in Knights of Labor hall at 11 o'clock and speeches were made by many labor leaders. All seemed to be at sea aa to the best course to pursue, but every speaker denounced the railroads in most vigor ous language. As to Using: AVaoni. A special to the Bee from Kelly'a camp at 10:o0 a. m. says: Threatening weather has caused General Kelly to de lay hia march back to Council Bluffs. He is waiting to hear the result of ef forts of General Manager St. John and W. II. M. Pusey to secure a train for the army over the Rock Island. He ia also favorably impressed with the suggestion of Mr. Edward Rosewater that he secure teams and make the trip overland to Washington, and he ia already receiving encouraging responses from the farming classes to hia appeal for assistance for this purpose. Kelly expresses the hope that hia friends in Omaha and Council Bluffs will strictly observe the law even though they are laboring under great excite ment The army has only enough pro visions to last for another meal and then if relief does not come they will be com pelled to go back to the Bluffs. Repgrts from all towns near here are to the effect that the people have con tributed plenty of supplies but have no means of getting the stuff to the army. Kelly thinka he will not accept the prop osition for transportation to Kansas City by water except aa a last resort, aa it will not land him any nearer to hia desired destination. AVI 11 Go East on Foot. Kelly's army had a court-martial trial this morning. The court was composed of all the captains of the army and CoL Baker A. -Madison, a private in company H, was tried for violating rules of the in dustrial army by furnishing and using liquor in the camp, and he ia alleged to have been spying on the men in the interest of the railwaya. These charges were proven and he waa found guilty by the court and was ordered dishonorably discharged and publicly drummed out of town. At 12 o'clock Gen. Kelly declared that if transportation was not secured for his army between now and morning he would begin moving on foot eastward through the state. PKEPAKIXG I OK COXEVITES. Coxsy's Men Will lie Allowed to Enter the Capitol. Washington, April 21. The authori ties of the capitol building have perfect ed arrangements for maintaining order about the halls of congress during the coming week. The officials are proceeding on the idea that the Coxey men have the same right as others to visit the capitol. There are fourteen entrances to the capitol, some of them beiag through obscure pas sages. These minor entrances will be closed for the time being. By this arrange ment, the capitol police force can be bet ter disposed and concentrated. Admission to the galleries will be re stricted to the comfortable seating capa city. When the seats are filled, the doors will be closed. Xo restrictions will bs placed on the coming and going of per sona, but they will be expected to keep the passages open and to "move on"' so aa to avoid jams. The closing of the house restaurant is a part of the general plan that has been adopted. MAYOR HARRISON ON' COXEIISM. Do Not Brine Masses of People to Topeka To the Citizens of Topeka: It ia greatly to be deplored that so many people are out of employment and in need of assistance. This condition seems to be general and exists ail over the country and has a tendency to create a spirit of unrest and a disposition .to try and better their condition by going to some other place. v Unemployed people can be much better cared for at their homes than when con gregated in masses which must necessar ily result in great hardships aud suffer ing to many of those who leave their homes and congregate among strangers. It ia hoped that no attempt will be made to incite the congregating of unemployed people in our city. Much hardship and great suffering has resulted from such gatherings in other places and to many the army of the commonweal becomes a common woe. I appeal to our citizens to give all the em ployment they can to those who are out of work and to render every assistance in their power to all those who are in need so as to enable them to remain at their homes and to quiet any feeling of unrest and avoid the gathering of unemployed masses where they cannot be made com fortable or supplied with necessary shel ter and food. Should any of these traveling masses of pilgrims from other places gather in our city, which we earnestly hope may not occur. I trust that our people will treat them kindly and aid them in a speedy departure towards their destina nation. T. W. Harrison, Mayor. COXEY'S COMMON WEAL. it Is Still at Uagsratowa and Is On Ex hibition. uagerstown, Md., April 21. The ad vance column of the Commonweal army remains in camp here. Browe ia bent upon making hia usual speech in the public square and that he may have an opportunity of doing so the march may not be resumed for several days.

Under WherifT's Hammer. ester, April 21. The sale of the American Waterworks company under mortgage foreclosure, took place at the county court house today. The dumber Oat. CoLCMBrs, O., April 21. According to President -McBride's figures, 132,000 miners stopped work today. A MONSTER STRIKE The One Inaugurated hy the Coal Miners Today, Will Be the Greatest in Coun- try's History. SYMPATHY WITH MEX. Mines Producing- One Hundred Million Tons Stopped. Six Thousand Pittsburg Miners Start the Movement. Pittsburg, Pa., April 21. The great coal strike, so far aa thia district is con cerned at least, 'appears to be a success. At noon today the six thousand men in the river district and the 6,500 in the rail road district laid down their picks, and receiving their wages, quietly left the mines. Dispatches from the Clearfield district report that the 13,00 men also struck and mines are generally closed. In the Phillipsburg region, east of the mountains, all the mines are idle. There the suspension is Clearfield will enforce idleness upon 4,000 men on the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railroad. In the Connellsville region the men are still at work, but the. leaders expect to have almost the entire region of 18, 000 men out on Monday. The strike promises to be the greatest" in the history of the country. It will in volve, if aa great aa anticipated, nearly 150,000 men, and will stop work ia mines that, produce upwards of 100 million tons of coal last year in the twelve states and territories. These miners received $53, S09.627 in wages in 1890, according to the eleventh census of the United States. In tnat year 139,886 mines produced 79,8S9, 108 tons of coal valued at $09,350,069. Should the strike be effective to the fullest extent anticipated the effect upon tue business of the country would be in calculably injured, as the strike will en force the suspension of many trades de pendent upon the coal industry, and may seriously affect the operation of the rail roads in the states where the miners will go out Many of the operators in this district declare that it is impossible to pay the wafres asked and say they are satisfied to permit the mines to remain idle, but thia does not represent the sentiment of all' the operators, many of whom ac knowledge that the wages demanded could be paid if all would keep faith and not seek to take an advantage. ST. LOUIS NOT AFFECTED. Operators There Have Contracts With Their Men For Several Month Ye!. 8t. Locis, April 21. According to men interested in coal mines in what is known as the St Louis district, this city will be but little affected by the national strike which has been ordered by President Mc Bride of the National Mine Works asso ciation. General Manager Simpson of the Con solidated Coal company, which brings tho largest supply of coal into St Louis of any concern, stated this morning that he anticipated no trouble. 'The difficulty is all outside of the St Louis districts," he said. "We have con tracts with our miners which have to run some months and both sides are satis fied. The matter is hardly of interest to St. Louis at all." General Manager Williams of the Car terville Coal company said hia men were perfectly satisfied. "We cut ten per cent some time ago," he said, "because he had to and they have not objected. The leaders have told me they would not go out Of course there is the danger that some other mines may close up aud the men from them force us to do the same, but our men will not will ingly stop work. "It will be impossible to tell anything about how much strike this will be until Monday morning when the whistles blow for work. "Just at present you can't tell anything about it, even the men don't know, but the chances are St Louis will not be af fected." WANT Sntllv Kit Si TO WIX. Operators at Columbns Are in Sympathy With the Men. Columbus, O., April 21. Reports today at national headquarters of the miners union, are to the effect that in the block coal fields of Indiana, where the men have a contract that they will work two dayaaweek until May lst,when they will join in the suspension. Maryland, where nothing waa expected, has joined in the suspension. On the New and Kanawha rivers there is every indication of a general suspension. It is an open secret in Columbus that the operators of this region are in sym pathy with the suspension and hope the miners will win. The operators here de sire to pay the scale proposed by the miners, but are prevented by certain operators in the Pittsburg district who have been paying lower wages. Seven hundred men are out at Xew Straitsville. These miners are among the most conservative and intelligent in tho country. A special "from Trimble to the Dis patch says all of the miners in the Sun day Creek valley are out There are about 1,500 of them. SUFFERING MAY RESULT. Miners in Jackson County Have No Snr- plus on Which to Draw. Jackson, O., April 21. All the mines of Jackson county shut down at 11 a. m. today, and 4,000 men have joined the great strike. The minera have worked so little in the last year that many of them have no surplus and must suffer if the strike continues Any length of time. A small number want to break away from the United Mine Workers' union and wish to organize a local union for the county. The majority will not hear to thia, however, and will stick with, the mine workers. The operators are not fearful about the result They have a large amount of coa! on hand and think that the strike will be broken before they need more. MINERS Jt IT XN ILLINOIS. Some Are Indisposed to Strike and Others Are Too Poor. St. Louis, April 21. Advices from the coal mining districts of southern Illinois are of a decidedly quiet nature. The men in the mines at Collinsville, Nil wood, Carlinville and Minonk are still at work. At Minonk lack of work by reason of re cent fires in the mines has made the min ers too poor to strike. At St. Johns the miners struck at noon, but only about 200 men are concerned. From Belleville, the center of the largest local district of mines, it ia learn ed, that the miners in that vicinity will remain at work. They have no wish to strike, and besides are too poorly organ ized to do so. SIX THOUSAND STRIKE. All tho Men in Cnmhria County, Pennsyl vania, Oo Out. Altoosa, Pa., April 21. All the coal mines in Black county that have been actively operated, are located at Ben nington and in the vicinity of Knitting Point. They employ 500 men.

Denver, April 21. The indications are that there will be little or no striking by coal miners of Colorado.

ARTZJBSUP. He Wants to Head the Topeka Commonweal. His Plans of a Highly Revolu tionary Nature. IF C0XEYITES FAIL Artz Wants His Organization to Seize State Capitols, And Take Charge of the State Governments. Ex-Adjutant General IL IL A'rtz, of the Kansas National Guard, la the talked of leader of the Kansas division of the Army of the Commonweal, which will be or ganized at the court house tonight General Artz has signified hia willing ness to become a leader in the move ment, and will be one of the speakers at the meeting to be held at the court house tonight To a State Journal reporter thia afternoon General Artz said: "I consider this Coxey movement to be a crisia in our country. I think that each state should have an army that would be or ganized so that if Coxey'a army at Wash ington should meet with resist ance, these state armies could rush to the state capitals and take charge of the government" In speaking of the army to be organized tonight, he said: "I shall be there. I think it will be organized without a doubt Sec retary Osborn's 'Loyal Sons of America' is a movement of thia kind, in my esti mation. Aa far aa I can learn, thia Coxey movement ia wholly non-partisan, and it should be, too." At the meeting of the Populist League last night the members talked about the Coxey movement, and most of the Pop ulists present were loud in their ap plause of the movement. Noah Allen, W. II. Bennington and others talked, and it was their idea that the Topeka division of the Commonweal Army shall be organized aa a home guard and shall not join in the march on Washington unless they should be needed. G. C. Clemens saya the meeting called for tonight was originated as a joke, but the joke is all out of it now and tonight's meeting will be in earnest When last night's meeting adjourned all present gave three cheers for Coxey and the meeting at tho court house. The sentiment of the meeting was ex pressed in the following resolutions which were adopted: Resolved, That we congratulate" the working men of Omaha and Council Bluffs on their poiueer movement to prove to the American plutocracy and official toola that working men, though they seem sometimes to sleep are not dead, but when disturbed too much are likely to prove to be very much alive. It legina to look as if the people may run the railroads before the government gets an opportunity to own them. At all events the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs seem to be running the railroad officiala at a lively rate. The spectacle of 6,000 working men rising suddenly like the clansmen of Rhoderick Dim has startled the arrogaut oppressors of the people as nothing else could have startled them, and it is good for the health of these protected American snobs that they should be considerably startled. We cordially endorse the Omaha army. Omaha seema to be a good place for great movements of the people to get well born. Resolved, That as citizens of Kansas interested in the welfare of the common people, we are proud of the conduct of Hon. T. J. Hudson in defending the rights of poor men possessing only their birthright as American citizens to enter the capitol of their country as lawyers, manufacturers and wealthy robbers and of the action of Mrs. Annie L. Digga in providing for the entertainment of the liberated American sovereigns, when re leased from his high mightiness, the police judge of Washington. A resolution was also passed express ing sympathy for Congressman Jerry Simpson in his present sickness. MORE WHEAT THAN USUAL. Reports From Six Principal Wheat Sta tions Are Good. Toledo.

Attorney General Maloney has rendered an opinion that there is no law on the statutes of Illinois authorizing the authorities of the cities and towns to submit the quest'on of license; that, it is done presumably to feel public pulse in the matter, but if the voters vote for or against license, it has no binding force in law upon the au thorities, and they may grant or re fuse license according to their views.

SAVAGE TALK. Senator Hawley Denounces Al len's Coxey Speech. It Would Be Applauded Gang of Anarchists. By a ARE NOT THE PEOPLE. CommonwealersDon'tRepresent the Public He Said. WgHmGTOX, C, April 20. When the senate-was called to order yester day Mr. Sherman from the committee on foreign relations reported a bill for the correction of an error in the Behring sea bill recently passed. By the substitution of the word "exclu sive" for "inclusive" the intention of the- act he said, had been entirely changed. The bill was passed. The resolution introduced recently by Senator Allen, calling on the sec retary of the treasury for the amount of appropriations made and expended for the improvements of rivers and harbors from March 3, 18S7, to date was passed. The Peffer resolution for the ap pointment of a reception committee for Coxey's army of the commonweal, to be known in senate parlance as"the committee on communications," came up for a few minutes before 1 o'clock, but in those few minutes it received some very rough handling. Senator Hawley, who dealt the blows, said he Would have preferred to have some member of the dominant party in the senate take the floor, for certainly the speech of Senator Allen of Ne braska ought not be allowed to go forth to the country as representing1 in any degree the views of the sen ate. He criticized Senator Allen for his reference to the commonweal army as "the people," and also for his allusions to the district militia under command of General Ordway. He ventured to say that General Ord way had given more study to the question than had the senator from Nebraska and that not one step would be taken by him except at the com mand of the civil power. These men who were coming' here did not rep resent the general views of the Ameri can people; they were not coming with the intention of prostrating themselves at the feet of congress but to im press them oy their presence. In conclusion, Mr. Hawley said there "were many other things in Allen's speech which should be refuted, but he did not propose to do it. "I am sorry to say," he continued, "but I feel"bound to say it, that the Speech of the senator from Nebraska was such as would be received with ap plause from a gang of Anarchists, and it would not reruire a microscope to discover in it the microbes and bacilli of Anarchism." Senator Allen was about to reply to Senator Hawley, but the hour of 1 o'clock having arrived the resolution went over without action, and the tariff bill being laid before the senate Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire spoke against the bill. In the course of his speech a running controversy came up between Mr. Gray of Dela ware and Mr. Aldrichof Rhode Island, the latter asserting and the former denying that in the recent elections tha people had expressed their repro bation of the kind of tariff reform now before congress. Senator Gallinger was followed by Senator McMillin of Michigan. Senator Dolph followed in a speech against the bill. At 5 o'clock Senator Dolph suspended his speech and will conclude to-day. The senate at 5:20 p. m. went into executive session and at 5:55 ad journed. KO BCSINESS IN THE ROUSE. Outside of an Incident the Proceedings Were Very Uninteresting:. Washington, April 21. In the house yesterday there was a passage at arms, figuratively speaking, between Representatives Burrows and Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler was taunted with talking four columns of Congressional Record in precisely one minute, and retorted that the protest came with bad grace from one whose hands "were red with parliamentary murder." Mr. Barrows recalled a previous ex ample of Mr. Wheeler's a speech that occupied five minutes in the delivery having taken up fourteen columns of the Record. A motion was made to refer the subject to the committee on printing, but Mr. Wheeler cried quits by asking leave to withdraw his re marks. Outside this episode the proceedings were very uninteresting. Practically ho business was transacted. Under the rules, it being Friday, the day was devoted to the business of the private calendar. WOES OF THE UNEMPLOYED. Representative Davis of Kansas Has t Panacea for Their Ills. Washington,' April 21. Representa tive Davis, Populist of Kansas has in troduced in the house a long bill re citing the woes of the unemployed, and directing the secretary of war to immediately enlist 500.000 men in an industrial volunteer army, to serve for the period of one year after enlistment.

That Oklahoma Outlaw Battle Did Coma Off According- to Latest Reports, Gcthrte, Ok., April 21. The report received of a battle between the Ial ton gang- and deputy marshals near Ingalls, fifty-five miles from this city, is confirmed. The fight occurred at the house of Bruce MUler, one of the outlaws. The officers surrounded the bouse, all of them armed with .Win chester, just before daylight. The Dalton bandits were Inside. No shots were fired until one of the desperadoes came out, jnst about daylight, to feed the horses. He was 'held up and told to take a look around the grounds and then return to the house, tell the bandits to come out one at a time, unarmed, and surrender, or hostilities would be commenced. After looking over the field, and finding in shooting distance of the house twenty men well armed, the outlaw returned to his companions. Fully a half hour's consultation, was had by the bandits before a stir was made by eithfer party, and then the officer in command of the party or dered his men to begin firing. The house is a simple weather boarded structure, and not plastered, and the shots from the marshals' Win chesters quickly perforated the sides of the building. The bandits returned the fire on the officers through the windows and crevicesof the house. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Miller had been wounded, left the house and crawled to where one of the marshals was lo cated behind a tree. She had received a flesh wound and begged that she might be permitted to ride to Ingalls for a doctor to attend to herself and also her baby and hired man, who were both wounded. She was permitted to saddle a house and leave. She would not state how many outlaws were killed, but ad mitted that Bill Dalton and Bill Doo lan had been seriously wounded. The fight was kept up all day dur ing Wednesday. Volley aftervolley was fired Into the house by the officers, and the con stant crack of the bandits' Winchesters told of their determination to hold out and refuse to surrender. Shortly af ter nightfall, during a lull in the fir ing, the. bandits made a break from the house and fled, pursued by the deputies. They went in the direction of the Creek Indian country. The messenger who brought this news did not learn whether or not Dalton and Doolan had been killed, but were told that three fatally wounded bandits were left in Miller's house after their companions had broken through the line of officers. He states that two of the officers' posse were killed and three wounded. STATE OF TRADE. Strikes a&d Labor Disturbances Having; an Effect on Business. New York, April 21. Brad street's Review of Trade says: "With the ex ception of the prospect for still further extension of strikes and other labor disturbances, no plainly retarding in fluence is manifesting itself. So far as learned, there are about twenty-three additional strikes, in volving 23,000 people. This brings tbe total number of those now on a strike, or idle because of strikes, up to B0.000. The week also furnishes eleven sh,ut-downs of important in dustrial establishments, more than offset by resumptions of thirty-two others, which furnish employment to 5,000 operatives, although seven im portant establishments announce re ductions in wages. The widely hearlde d announcement that 200,000 coal miners will strike to day has occasioned uneasiness among manufacturers at many central West ern and Eastern cities, owing to the prospective scarcity of fuel. Cities along the line of the Great Northern railroad, which road is now at a stand still because of the strike of employes, are finding their reduced volumes of business still further curtailed, and at Chicago labor troubles seriously affect the building trades. Clearing House Returns. New York, April 21. The following statement, compiled by Bradstreet's gives the total clearings at the cities mentioned for the past week with in crease or decrease, as compared with the corresponding week of last year.

Them Liberty of Citizens, But They Cannot Assemble On the Capitol Steps. BIG CAMPING GROUND. Resolution Askings for Tents In troduced in House. Washington, April 21. The senate committee on rules was in consulta tion yesterday with Chief of Police Moore ahd Serg-eant-at-Arms Bright of the senate, concerning1 the pros pective arrival of Coxey and his fol lowers and other organizations of the same character reported to be on the way to Washington to in fluence legislation. Both of the officials said in reply to questions by members of the committee that they had taken due notice of the approach of these men and had taken all pre-, cautions which the law requires and which they consider the situation de mands to protect the city and the cap itoL Both expressed the opinion that the'poliee force of the city and of the capitol were ample for their purposes, and said they did not apprehend that it would be necessary- to call for un usual assistance. Colonel Bright says: "Mr. Coxey will not be permitted to hold his con templated meeting1' on the capitol steps. That is against the law, and is one of the items in Coxey's program which will not occur as he has an nounced. My policy will be to grant the army all the liberty that ia granted to all other citizens by the law, and to protect them in the en joyment of all proper privileges, but the laws will have to be enforced, and so far as it is given me to enforce them I shall do it." Provisions for the accommodation of the army of the commonweal is con templated in a resolution introduced in the house by Representative Broen (Populist) of Minnesota. The resolu tion instructs the secretary of war to provide within the district of Colum bia a camping ground and tents for all organized bodies of laboring- peo ple who may come within the District, and to see that their rights as citizens are respected and protected during1 their stay. The resolution was re ferred to the committee on military affairs. DECLINED A STOLEN TRAIN. General Kelly and His Army Still En camped at Weston. Omaha, Neb., April 21. General Kelly declined to put his men on board a train stolen at Council Bluffs by the engineers and fireman of the Union Pacific It was a Union Pacific engine with Union Pacific cars on the Rock Island track. Kelly de clined it because he said he had not yet broken any- law and did not intend to start inhere. There was great excitement here all day, and it was intensified at nightfall by the news that a train had been cap tured to relieve Kelly. Crowds thronged the streets and an immense open mass meeting was held. Rumors of the calling out of Federal troops, of state troops, of deaths in Kelly's camp, and of every conceivable na ture kept the crowd on a tension hard to understand But no disorder unusual ensued, and, as if by a miracle, the clash that seemed inevitable was avoided and Kelly "s army slept in camp at Weston, waiting for daybreak to march to Council Bluffs, whence a new start East will be made on foot. Quiet was restored in the three cities by midnight. COXEY LEAVES HI9 MEN. Ho Has Gone to New York for a Foaf Days' Absence. IlAGFRSTOWN.Md., April 21. General Coxey left his army at this town last night for a four day's absence in New York, during which time he will at tend the sale of some of his Kentucky thoroughbreds. Besides this he will try to arrange with the railroads for excursion rates to Washington for the demonstration on May 1. It is from this arrangement that he hopes to get the greater part of his crowd in the city. Should this plan succeed, he and Browne declare that there will be no trouble in getting 50,000 people to the capital besides those on the road. The army had to buy its own fire wood to cook supper on Logan Hill, and as the town authorities refused to allow the army to draw on the hy drants of the city, the camp was with out water until the railroad company gave the use of a plug. Later in the evening- when a severe thunHer storm arose the agent of the Western Mary land railroad gave the tramps the use of an empty warehouse, after they bean had refused shelter in an empty barn near by.

Perhaps the House May Do Some thins: Now. Washington, April 21. Special. It were a wearisome task to set forth and still more to road the varying opinions of prominent congressmen on the radical chango provided for by the rules for count ing a quorum brought forward by Mr. Springer and others. Suffice it to say that the best lawyers of the house generally ap prove of them, while radical Democrats like Mr. Bryan as generally oppose the closure. Judge Culberson, chairman of the judiciary committee, in reply to questions on tho subject, said: "It would be idle for mo to give anopinion now when the su premo court Las done so in the clearest language. Read tho decision in United States versus Ballin, United States Re ports 144, and you have my views. As judge and lawmaker alike, I must take tho law as the highest court has declared it." -A. Supreme Court Decision. Tho fact that buc-Ii a decision has been rendered ia well known, but as its scope is disputed tho public should read the exact language. The caso came up on appeal from tho circuit court of the southern dis trict of New York, the appellees claiming that tho act of 1S90 '-for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens" was not adopted, by a constitutional majority. The court set forth the journal of the day, in cluding these passages: ''Tho speaker laid before the house the bill of tho house (H. R. 954S) providing for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens, coining over from last night as unfinished business, with the previous question and the yeas and nays ordered. "Tho house havin-j proceeded to the con sideration ari the question beirfg put, Shall the bill pass? there appeared yeas, 138; nay3, 0; not voting, 1S9.

"'The speaker thereupon stated that the said members present and refusing to voto 74 in number together with thoso re corded as voting -133 in numlwr showed a total of 212 members present, constitut ing a quorum present to do business, and that the yeas being 128 and the nays none the bill wes passed. Tho court closed its reasoning with these passages: "Is cannot bo that wo can refer to tho journal for the purpose cf impeaching a statute properly authenticated nncl approved and then sup plement and strengthen that impeachment by parol evidence that tho facts stated on the journals aro not true, or that other facts existed which, if stated on the jour nal, would givo force to the impeachment. If it be suggested that the speaker might have made a mistake as to some one or more of these 74 members, or that the clerk may have falsified the journal in en tering therein a record of their presence, it is equally possible that In reference to a roll call and the yeas and nays there should be a like mistake or falsification. Tho pos sibility of such inaccuracy or falsehood only suggests the unreliability of the evi dence raid the danger of appealing to it to overthrew that furnished by the bill en rolled and authenticated by tho signatures of the presiding officers of the two houses and the president of the United States. Tho facts, then, as appearing from tho journal, aro that at the time of the roll call there were present 212 membersf the house, more than a quorum, and that 133 voted in favor of the bill, which was a ma jority of thoso present. The constitution in the same section provides that each house may determine th3 rules of its pro ceedings. It appears that in pursuance of this authority tho house had prior to that day passed this as one of its rules: Tho rulo i3 set forth. It is no objection to the validity of a rulo that a different one has been pre scribed and in force for a length of time. The power to make rules is not one which once exercised is exhausted. It is a con tinuous power, alweys subject to bo exer cised by the house and within the limita tions suggested, absolute and beyond the challenge of any other body or tribunal. Tower of tho Majority. "The constitution provides that 'a ma jority cf each house shall constitute a quo rum to do business. In othei-words, when majority are present, tho house is in a position to do business. Its capacity to transact business is then established, creat ed by tho rocro presence of a majority, and does not depend upon the disposition or assent or action of any single member or fraction of tho majority present. All that the constitution requires 13 the presence of majority, and when that majority aro present the power of the house arises. "But how snail tno presence or a ma jority le determined? ino constitution has prescribed no method of making this determination, and it is therefore within tho competency of tho houso to prescribe any method which shall be reasonably cer tain to ascertain the fact." It is much easier to rail at this reason ing than to answer it, ana it is quite amusing to notice how many Democrats there are who declare .that they havo al ways been in favor of some rule to prevent filibustering and only objected to Tom Reed's arbitrary methods. The great ob ject of Democrats both in caucus and the committee, on rules has been to devise a plan which would make tho closure the act of the houso and not the act of the speaker would, in fact, leave him no dis cretion. This they think they have accom plished and hive secured proper speed in legislation without adopting Tom Reed ism. Should thei r claims prove true Messrs. Hatch, Bland, Cooper and others will soon bo made happy by the passage cf their fa- Vprite bills.

LeaveriworthTurnersWillBuild a Fine Hall. Lawbence, April 21. "Bud" Franklin, the notorious one-armed colored jointist, has received a communication from some people of the town demanding him to leave at once. The communication is signed "Business Men," ancj intimates that the reason of the order is that he is too frisky in the peddling of liquor from his joints. The police have tried again and again to convict him and shut up his places, but as soon as he is arrested some one else steps in and keeps the dives open till he can get back to business. A convic tion in the police court is appealed to the district court and by the time that meets the prosecuting witness is hired to skip out or "things are not just as he thought they were when tho trial took place in the lower court." This makes it next to impossible to catch these fellows, and case after case is lost in the same way. Bud Franklin, with the other jointists, expects to get caught once in a while when there is a scrap in their resorts or when some one brings in information for spite, but they know they can fix things up with the witness in very short order alter a little time. They have their agents who can run the business while they are temporarily detained by the law and thus it is almost impossible to do anything, and when the officers and citizens request men to quit the business they can say, as Bud did when he got his notice, "What are you going to do about it?" and the business still continues.

WHY WOMEN DREAD APRIL Spring Cleaning-Sewing, Sweeping, Plannin and Hurried Meals Exhaust Body and Brains. iSM mm,. !!f- April, windows and doors may now be opened. A note of preparation is ap parent in every household. Spring means to the average woman extraordinary exertion. Garments must be made over for the new season; the long winter's account with dirt and dust must be settled even at the expense of diminished vitalitv and shortened life. With such strain on body and mind thousands of women are sure to overtax their strength. Hosts of too anxious wives and mothers sacrifice health and future usefulness to this fearful moloch of spring cleaning. April is by far the hardest month for the women of the house. The long siege of winter leaves them little strength for such excessive labor, and when the severe strain is over many find they have been living on their nerves and 'are on the road to nervous prostration and weak ness of some vital organ. After great strain on the system, Paine s celery compound, the great modern nerve and blood remedy, best restores vigor and strength to the body. Men and women run down, weak, and nervous feel very soon an increased power for work and enjoyment. All have the true instinct that life, re covery from illness and the maintenance of health come from perfect nutrition. Paine s celerv compound reaches the very origin of nervous weakness as well as diseases of the liver, kidneys and stomach. It brings to the million of nerve cells all over the body the exact food they need to become again healthy vital tissues. Hnuse Painting, Paper Hanging, Hard Wood Finishing A SPECIALTY.

Before I had taken one-half of the bottle I felt as well as ever, and 1 have done my own work ever since with out any trouble." Hers is the experience of thousand! of others.

Wrathrr Indication. Washington, April 21. Forecast till 8 p. m. Sunday: For Kansas Fair weather; warmer; fresh southerly winds, TiVHF.r the railroad receivers strike, then there will be cause for alarm in deed. Governor Jackson of Iowa doesn't know exactly whether he is glad he is governor or not. Representative Wheeler appears to be one of those men whose very looks speak volumes. According to reports United States marshals are always "scouring the coun try" down in Oklahoma for outlaws, but the only result seems to be scrub oaks. The country has been crying help to congress for nearly a year and it will be a pleasing variation to hear its frantic call when Kelly and Coxey swoop down on Washington. As soon as Governor Waite's new fire and police board was installed, 1,000 ap plications for places were tiled in writing by hungry Populists and 2,000 more by personal request. All along the line of march the peo ple have been feeding Coxey's men on pie. It remains to be seen whether Cleveland will be as good when they get to Washington. The thousand men who went to Wash ington to protest against the passage of the Wilson bill by the senate made a mistake if they didn't take something along with which to "sugar" the sena tors. It is to be hoped that the flow of in dustrialists to .he east won't have the effect of driving the inhabitants there west. Send us Oklahoma Sams, but keep your Ward .McAllisters when the tide tarns. Mrs. Lease is probably violently jeal ous of just two of her fellowmen "Gener al" Kelly who has stirred up a bigger f us than she ever could, and Carl Browne who can say such things as "argua-eyed demons." The unemployed at present are hav ing bo much fun with free rides, provis ions furnished and ovations that the men on the Great Northern seemingly would rather be numbered among them than have good jobs. The lone bridge superintendent who kindly told three thousand determined men at Omaha yesterday that they might cross the river for nothing is said to have done a graceful thing. Perhaps there is a hint in this for congress. Tubes million dollars in gold were shipped "out of the country yesterday and it all went from the sub-treasury. Secretary Carlisle is already smiling at the thought of soon getting to issue some more prettily engraved bonds. That 250,000 coal miners should delib erately quit work in times like these, be tokens either dense ignorance or wide spread foolishness. The man of good sense will hold very jealously to what he has. A strike cannot but aggravate ex isting misery. Michael Kibble a Pittsburg man, who has been earning a tolerable living for his wife and child, deserted them to join the commonweal. -His wife and child were found in a starving condition, but he gets his three meals a day. This is a different phase of the "commonweal of Christ." We, the people of Topeka, pay the po lice force of this city out of our own pock ets to protect the city from crime and dis order. That is the entire business of the Topeka Metropolitan police. That is what they draw their salaries for. Yet for two days this week nearly the entire police force wa3 busy looking for two de serters from the United States army. They were not paying attention to the business for which we hire them, but to Uncle Sam's business, in the hope of get ting the $60 which is paid fcr the return of a deserter. Now, if a business man paid a salary to an employe to attend to his business for him, and he attended to somebody else's business instead, the employe would be speedily fired. The same rale should apply to tha police. THEY DON'T CARE WHO. "All the financial men and institutions in the east who have ever loaned any money or expect to loan any money in Kansas are singing in chorus: The nomi nation of Major Morrill for governor is all the security we want. Elect Major Morrill and you can have our money." This is what certain Kansas Republi cans would have the people believe. It is all foolishness. The eastern people do not care what good man is' governor of Kansas, as long as he represents the party that does not repudiate its debts. Who knows who the governor of Vermont is? Who is the governor of Maine, or of New Hampshire or of Connecticut or of Dela ware? Nobody knows, and nobody cares as long as they- are honest men, repre senting an honest people. Mr. Samuel T. Howe is a financial man, and he knows what he is talking about when he says: "The eastern people don't care a snap whether the next governor is Mr. Morrill, Mr. Hoch, Mr. Martin or Mr. Heizer. They prefer to have Republicans in power, and the larger the majority the better. Therefore 1 prefer Mr. Hoch be cause I think his majority would be sev eral thousand larger than any other can didate we might name." The sensible people of Kansas as well as of the east want to see a Republican governor elected in Kansas this fall and like Mr. Howe, they want the man nomi nated who can get the most votes. That man is without a doubt, E. W. Hoch. Nominate Ed Hoch on his anti-spoils platform and Kansas people will not be afraid of their' own administration, and our credit in the east will be all right once more. THE LOW HATE. The conference called by the board of railroad commissioners to consider exist ing freight rates, accomplished nothing, and -it is doubtful if the meeting to be had on May 16 will be more successful. The railroads deny the right of the commis sioners to issue an order applying to gen eral freight rates, and there is no doubt that such an order would be resisted. Senator Leedy took the position that the power of the board was unlimited so far as freight rates are concerned, and that it is not a question as to whether the roads are making money or not; but whether the rates are disproportionate to the prices of farm products. From his standpoint the roads might be compelled to carry freight at a rate which would in cur an actual loss. Quite different were the grounds taken by ex-Governor Rob inson. He held that the rate which more especially applied, was that on wheat, and that the western wheat grow er was crowded out of business because the rate was not consistent with the price of wheat. He said that it was to the in terest of the roads to make a low rate on wheat even if a higher rate must be charged on other articles, to prevent a depopulation of the western part of Kan sas. The representatives of the roads seemed willing to meet ex-Governor Robinson's proposition, and make an agreement on some such basis. While there is every evidence that the whole affair is a put up piece of political buncombe, Governor Robinson's prop osition made in good faith is worthy of serious consideration. HIS FATAL MISTAKE. No wonder that the Rev. Mr. Frauk Vrooman had to resign his pastorate at Worcester, Mass. That a man who had breathed the raw western breeze of Kan sas should have the temerity iu a place hallowed perhaps by the presence of Adamses, Quincys and Otises to set up a standard of aesthetics is something that even the most unthinking hind must condemn. How indeed could one, ac customed only to hear the coarse whoop of the red man and the dismal wail oi prowling coyote, be expected to ap preciate the delicate humor of lovers sitting on a tarred fence and having to walk away from each other backwards? Or, who but those who had teen reared amidst the culture and refinement of Massachusetts, with its dear Boston, could properly understand the graceful play of wit in the discomfiture of a would be Breckinridge? No, Mr. Vroo man's presumption was inexcusable. He should have reflected that good taste can only come through a long process of witch burning, egg throwing, and hag gling over bargains. Culture you know is something, which only those having it clearly comprehend. It is that indefi nable aptness of feeling that causes its possessor to burst forth with a ringing, respectable laugh at the spectacle of a wife chastising her unfaithful husband and freezes into stiff indignation if the word leg is pronounced. One may feel sorry for Mr. Vrooman, but one can not justify him. That was an interesting dispatch that came from Washington on Thursday say ing that half the members of the house had disappeared from the hall of repre sentatives in the middle of the afternoon, and that they had gone to attend the opening baseball game of the season. It was interesting because it reveals to the country at large what has been so often said, that congress seeks its own pleas ure and amusement while the country suffers. In all parts of the land thousands of ragged unemployed men are march ing toward Washington to present a living petition for legislation that shall remove the existing industrial depression. These armies of men are but the visible presentment of a feeling that exists among all classes that congress should act and act at once. The whole country is waiting anxiously for congress to give its entire time and attention to the busi ness and industrial situation and con gress goes to a baseball game, Pat the rascals out! Isn't it rather unkind in the coal min ers to strike in the dead of winter? -LAWYER AND CLIENT. Gossip About Counselor Carlisle and Miss Madeline Pollard. THE QUALITY FOR A GOOD WITNESS. Keep Col and Tell the Troth BIta mt family History. Special Correspondence. Washington, April 19. Calderon Carlisle, Esq., whose management of the plaintiff's case of Pollard versus Breckinridge has made his name prom inent, is the only surviving son ot the onco famous James Mandeville Carlisle, linguist -and lawyer, who won such rep utation in the Sickles case and the two Gardiner trials. It has frequently been matter of sad reflection that no other kind of fame is so evanescent as that of the eloquent lawyer unless ft be that of the brilliant humorist or actor, and it is probable that not one reader in fifty can remember tha circumstances of the Gar diner trials. He was a dentist in Mexi co previous to our war with tnat country, and when the claims commission sat he presented elaborate proofs of great loss es and received his money. A little lat er Jefferson Davis became secretary of war, and hajpening to glance over the papers saw allegations as to a certain mine in Mexico in which Gardiner claimed a big interest. Colonel Davis, as he then was, had camped upon that very spot and knew that the description of the locality was wrong, and that there was no mine there. To make a long sto ry short, Gardiner was convicted, sen tenced to a long imprisonment, and im mediately after being returned to jail swallowed poison he had concealed in expectation of such an outcome and died in a few minutes. Sickles case is of course familiar to everybody. The elder Carlisle was noted for his command of the French, Spanish and other languages and was for many year3 legal adviser cf the Spanish and Spanish-American le gations, to which position his son has succeeded. A Man of Parts. This fact gave rise to the statement recently published that the family is of Spanish extraction. It is really of pure Scotch and English blood, but American for several generations. The present CALDERON CARLISLE. bearer of the name was born in this city in 1S52, was graduated in 1S71 and soon after entered on the practice of law hero. He also is a linguist, speaking and writing the French, Spanish and Italian languages, has made a specialty of in ternational law and been adviser to sev eral legations, but it is in connection with the Pollard case that he is just now most interesting. To say that he speaks with enthusiasm of his client would be putting it mildly. That she is a truly remarkable witness is freely admitted by the lawyers on both sides, and none speaks with more enthusiasm of her abil ities in that lino than does Major But terworth, who frankly confesses that she was too much fcr him. Mr. Carlisle of course takes a somewhat different view, insisting that it was not her talent,, but her truthfulness, which made her so strong a .witness. "There is, says he, "no- mystery or great art in this thing of being a good witness. All one has to do is to keep cool and tell the exact truth. A truthful witness sometimes makes a very bad showing by reason of nervous excitement, but where there is none of that the witness willing to tell she truth, as Miss Pollard was, has no trouble at all-' In regard to the painful Question as to who has done the most lying Mr. Carlisle is of course reticent, but other lawyers are far more commu nicative, and one who has followed the trial closely says: Awful Perjury. "It has a very unpleasant resemblance to the Beecher casa in the fact that, take what view of it one may, there has been most frightful perjury. Either Colonel Breckinridge or Madeline Pollard has sworn to lies. "The plain truth is, and I have often seen it illustrated in such cases, that there is one subject on which men do Dot consider themselves bound by the ordinary rules of veracity, and men who would not even tell a lie without an i oath for millions in money will perjure I themselves without hesitation on this I subject. Their morality was well sum med up in that British nobleman'9 re mark on the Prince of Wales in a simi--lar case, 'Ha perjured himself like a gentleman.'" Raking Cp Family History. Another curious result of the trial, has been the raking up of many half for gotten family histories, and one fact is well worth noting. The record of the Breckinridge family, from the landing of that exiled Covenanter who founded it in America down to the present time, has been searched with extraordinary diligence and contrasted with that of other noted families, especially Alex ander Hamilton's, and it is stated by all the searchers that this is positively the first case of its kind which has stain- d the family escutcheon. The Breckin ridges have been great lawyers, preach ers and orators, Unionists and Confed erates. One was vice president, senator fjttd general, another wrote the original 'raft of the famous resolutions of 1987, md another was ejected from the house of representatives on thd ground that his claim to a seat was tainted with fraud and murder, but not one in all their five generations of prominent men has been charged with a gross offense like this. Another question which interests the lawyers greatly is. Where did the money come from to support the plaintiff's case? The first impression was that fees were arranged for contingent upon the success of the suit, but this was indig nantly denied, as such an arrangement is not only considered very tmlawyer like, but is condemned at common law and by the statutes of several states as champerty. The next theory was that the political rivals of the defendant in Kentucky had put up the money, and some went so far as to name the man who had started the fund with expecta tion of being Colonel Breckinridge's suc cessor, but in disproof of this it was stated that the entire amount had been given by a wealthy lady in the interest of justice alone. The Social Purity league of New York and other like or ganizations were in turn accused, but the friends of Colonel Breckinridge have settled down to the belief that "a lot of Yankees put up the money to break down and disgrace a southerner," and this conclusion is in such harmony with southern thought that it will probably be accepted as final unless the actual truth be revealed Sketch of Phil Thompson. Another interesting character is Colo nel Phil Thompson, who made a speech for the defendant which the journalists speak of as a 'sophornorical splurge. It must be admitted that the colonel for got that oratory is subject to climatio laws the same as any other product of the human mind. A speech which would thrill Indiana and set Kentucky on fire would be laughed at in-Boston, and one of those measured New England ad dresses, like that which Senator Lodge recently delivered on the tariff, for in stance, would freeze a southwestern au dience that is, if any of them staid to hear it through, which is quite un likely. Colonel Thompson is 49 years old, a native of Harrodsburg, Ky., the eon of a very eminent man of the same name and the scion of a family eminent for three generations,, but the victim of some terrible misfortunes and involved in such bloody tragedies as to recall to the thoughtful mind those Greek myths of the -fated house of Atreus and the furies, who pursued all those inheriting the dreadful guilt of the banquet of Thyestes. When Colonel Thompson en tered congress, he was put at the tail end of the committee to arrange for the census of 1880, but soon made himself the leading member" Hon. S. S. Cox, chairman of the com mittee, paid him as high a compliment as ever was received by a new member, declaring that he had by far the great est natural aptitude for arranging fig ures of any man in either house. "It Was only necessary," said Mr. Cox, "to lay before him the main points of what was needed and the difficulties in the case, and the next day he appeared with a plan at once so simple and effective that it was quickly accepted by the com mittee. He was then counted a very young member, but Mr. Cox relied on him as the working man of the commit tee, and the plan for taking the tenth census was almost entirely his work. Of Judge Andrew Coyle Bradley, who pre sided in the case, it is only necessary to say thrt he was born in this city in 1844. His father, Charles, was also born here, and his grandfather, Abraham, came here from Philadelphia with the government, being assistant postmaster general, which place he held till An drew Jackson became president and turned him out. Judge Bradley was one of President Harrison's first appointees in March, 1889. Famous Men of th Bar. Circulating among the resident law yers who talk about this case, I am sur prised at the number of men once fa mous in various parts of the country who have abandoned politics and set tled down to a very quiet life here as office lawyers. Here, for instance, is William Pitfc Kellogg, who did so much to make history in Louisiana in the 20 years following the war and has had a remarkably diversified career all through. He was born in Vermont, grew rip in Illinois, went to Nebraska as chief justice of the territory and thence into the army and then to New Orleans and is now 62 years old, in prime physical condition and worth a cool million. Here, too, is the sometime famous J. Hale Sypher. There are nearly or quite 600 nomi nal lawyers listed here, but the great majority of them are patent lawyers, claim agents or quiet lobbyists, while very many simply hold the title of law yer as a gentlemanly addition to their social status, but live on their property. Ring Down the Curtain. The curtain has been rung down upon the legal drama, and the .Washington public is discussing the position of the star actors. It is agreed on all sides that the lawyers have done brilliantly except that it is thought to have been a great mistake in the defense to allpw the case to come to trial at alL As Breckinridge has no property on which the judgment could have been realized, it would, many congressmen think, have been better to let the case go by default. At any rate, he could not have done worse than he has. Hi3 friends, however, insist that his case, morally and politically, is not nearly so bad as it seems. His one Ein confessed, they say, all the rest of the allegations against him will be disbe lieved by his people. The reaction will come, and he may be happy yet. The future of the (alleged) fair plaintiff is matter of endless conjecture and many positive statements, ranging from a con tract to go on the operatie stage at $500 per week down through all grades of starring and lecturing to a life position with the Social Purity league as a mis sionary in the reclamation of fallen wo men. One thing, at any rate, is absolute ly certain if her future prove as luridly picturesque as her past has been, her biography will be a "lulu. J. EL Beadle. NEW GOODS. NEW STORE.

STATE JOURNAL., SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL, 21, 1S94. 5 Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. 4 HAKES A FINE RECORD. Chief Wilmarth's Report of Fires for tiie Past Year. LOSSES ARE COMPARATIVELY SMALL 4-lties the le or Topelta Can Compare With It Intereatlns Facte and Klenrts. Chief G. O. Wilmarth of the fire de partment of Topeka, completed today hia annual report for the fiscal year, which will be presented at the next council meeting-. The report shows 129 fires during the year, and the property involved was val ued at $AW,(j&2 and the insurance on it was f 2oU,540. Out of this the loss was only $31,717.37, and $26,444. 6) of insur ance losses was paid un this. The year bef jre there were 135 firea with only $23,8it loss, a difference of $3.1)00. Chief Wilmarth accounts for thU by the fact that there were two fires in electric light plants this year. Of the 12a fires, 20 of thm were in cendiary and 18 are of uuknown origin; 10 were caused by soot falling- on the roof, 8 by children playing with matches, by 6tovepipes being too near woodwork, 16 Ly gasoline stoves, 9 by oil stoves or lamps, 6 by defective flues, bonfires 3, false alarms 3, hot ashes 3, outside city 4, and 21 of miscellaneous origin. The chief has a table of fire losses for the past thirteen years. During all that time there nave been 1161 fires in build ings valued at $7,282,422, and insured for $3,S25,870. This is an average yearly loss of $44,765; but omitting the three serious fires in February, 18S9, the aver age loss is reduced to $29,219. The de partment covers an area of nine square miles. The expense of the fire department for the year was $26,786.69, of which $22,166.90 was for payroll of employes, $3,230.84 for general expenses and 1, 3S8.95 in improvements. The latter item includes a new hose wagon and three fire alarm boxes, and two horses. The receipts of the department were $299.86, of which $133.50 was for build ing permits, and the remainder is from sales of condemned supplies. The fire department consists of 29 ro bust and trained men, who have passed examinations and met with a high stand ard of physical and moral fitness for ser vice. I The casualties for the year consisted i of one woman who was burned from gas- oline, seven firemen were hurt and seven j horses were burned to death. Each one of the four fire stations is covered by insurance, on No. 1, $2,000; No. 2. $6,0U0; No. 8, $1,500; No. 4, $4,000. During the year the department has consumed 45 145-2000 tons of hay, 1,750 bushels of oats and 3,456 bushels of coal. There is at present 5,000 feet of hose in use, all of it in good condition, but a part of it will have to be replaced in a little time. One of the most important branches of the department is the fire alarm service. This consists of 29 miles of wire, 655 poles, 44 boxes and a large amount of electrical apparatus, all in perfect con dition. The water service consists of 31S hy drants, one of which was added during the year. It is at the corner of Fillmore and Sixteenth streets. There are thirty seven miles of mains. The source and pressure has been satisfactory. Chief Wilmarth renews his previous recom mendations for mains in important lo calities where there is no fire protection, and asks for one more main to North Topeka above the present main, for ob vious reasons. Of the horses in the service three are old ones, used only as "extras." The oldest is "Granger,' 27 years old; "Rol ls." 21, and "Little Dick" is 12.

PAST YEAR'S BUILDING As Shown in Bulldlug- Terinl!s Granted by Fire Chief Wllmirlh. One of the most valuable features of the annual report of the tire department and one which is an index to the public improvements which are going on in the city, ia that pertaining to building per mits. During the twelve months which end ed April 1st, there were 229 permits is 'sued. Of these 205 were for frame build ings and twenty-two for buildings to be constructed of brick or stone. The build ings are classified: Shops and factories 5, business houses 24, churches 5, school 1, residences 112, and miscellaneous 81. The estimated cost of the improvements indicated is $loo,810. The receipts Irom building permits were $138.50. There were 1,248 build ings inspected during the year, when nre hazards were rectified. TRAMPS ON A TRAIN Slake Hot Work For Braktnua Santa Fe. of tue Three tramps securely perched on top of the Santa Fe westbound passenger train fought and for a time successfully held at bay two bakemen a few miles south of Topeka yesterday. The train was No. 1, the California express which left the Santa Fe depot at 3:4a. The tramps got on the "olind'' when it stopped at the Missouri Pacific Junction. lhe "brakie saw the tramps get on and tried to beat therj off, but the tramps filled their pockets with coal from the tender and showered such a volley at him that he retreated and got another brakeman to help him. They failed their pockets with coal and climbed to the top of the car where the tramps had perched. The missiles fell thick and last until the tramps ran out of ammunition. Then the only thin2 left for them to do was retreat. This they did by climbing down between the cars and jumping off the train. They all took dangerous tumbles but were unhurt. It takes a great deal deal of rough usage to hurt a tramp, and in climbing up aud down, over and around trains, the hoboes are about as adroit as monkeys. fltngline Bro'. lils Show.

The five candidates for the Republican nomination for congress in the Second district, having succeeded in working up a fight which is about as bitter aa politi cal fights generally get The congressional convention ia to be held at Ottawa, Thursdav, May 17, and a successor to Farmer E. H. Funston will be nominated. Of course Farmer Funston wants to succeed himself, but aa he narrowly es caped defeat two years ago both in the convention and at the polls, he will have more difficulty this time in getting hia name placed on the ticket than he has yet experienced. ii is understood tnat r unston will go into the convention with 24 votes while it will take 64 votes to nominate. He will have his own county Allen with 9 votes and Bourbon with 15 votes. Anderson, Miami and Linn, will be un instructed, representing 32 vote3. Douglas county will be instructed for Vt. C. Howard and he will get the 17 votes of that delegation on the first bal lot, although it is understood that most of the Douglas county delegation will be favorable to the nomination of J. W. Parker of Olathe, in case their h6me man can not get the plum. Franklin county with 12 votes will be instructed lor u. A Smart, but if nomi nating lightning does not strike their home candidate on the first few ballots, the delegation is likely to divide, with a majority going to Billy Buchan of Wy- anootte county. Johnson county will send her 11 dele gates instructed for State Senator J. W. rarKer or ijiatae, wno is considered one of the strongest men in his district. If the Douglas county delegation goes to him on the second ballot ho will have 28 votes outside of what he is likely to get irom the tnree umnstructed delegations. The largest single delegation in the convention will be from Wyandotte county, which will be there with thirty solid votes tor Jsiiy Smith. The present indications are that the fight will narrow down to a three-cor nered affair, with ihe delegates favoring a new deal voting for rarker, while .Fun ston will have his cld guard standing by mm, and Jiucoan picking up the enemies of Funston who understand and favor the old methods. The nomiuee of this convention will no doubt have to nVht for supremacy at the polls with H. L. Moore of Lawrence, who is still contesting the seat occupied by Farmer Funston, who was elected over him two yeara ago by a bare plurality of ecs votes. S. M. SCOTT AND FUSION. "There Won't Be Fusion" Only Will Be Fusion. There "Do you think any one can defeat Curtis r" asked the Journal reporter of S. M. Scott, who is going to be a Popu list candidate for congress in thia dis trict. "Yes, I most certainly do. We can beat Curtis with any g-ood man and we have plenty of them. There is Otis of thia place, Dr. Wharton, who is an active candidate for the nomination, Judge Foote of the state board of pardons, Levi Dumbold, John Madden, Senator Leedy and otners. "We will center the opposition to Cur tis on the tariff and money questions. I believe in protection, but not of the Mc- Kinley style. By protection I mean laws compelling tne wealthy of the nation to pay their portion of the expense of the government; laws regulating the finan cial interest or toe country in the inter est of the whole people instead of plac ing thi3 constitutional prerogative in the hands of a few men, subject to their peculiar views. I believe in laws com pelling the issue of all money by the general government and regulating the rates oi interest it necessary. "If the handling of money was not the most pro ti table of all other lines of busi ness we would not find two hundred mil lions piled up in JNew xork banks wait ing for bond issues." Mr. Scott said that the issue to be pressed against the McKinley bill was that it enabled England to buy our cot ton, manufacture it and then send it to some of the tropical countries and ex change it for coffee, spice, or something of the kind which is free of duty here. and then send it to this country, thua avoiding me larin. "What about fusion?" "Oh, there won't be fusion. The oppo sition will simply be united against the Republican party." That ia to say. there won't be fusion, only there'll be fusion.

GRACE DODGE'S STORY ABOUT THE HELPED AND THE HELPERS. To Honor Mrs. Harrison Widening: tlie Sphere The Ulaine Household Mrs. Cleveland's Shawl Women Domestics. Mew York Women -A Itankcr Hill Defeat. Addressing a company of persons in terested in philanthropic effort the other day in Buffalo, Miss Grace Dodge, spoke of a principle that is coming more and more into these discussions the need for the helped and the helpers to under stand each other. "I do not wonder, said Miss Dodge, "that the working women often resent the interference of tho persons who come among them, and while yet holding themselves aloof express a desire to help them. These persons never seem to consider that they may gain good as well as do good in these cases. They think that all the help comes from them, and they resent the idea that they might be in any way benefited by contact with the working women as well as tho work ing women by contact with them. Yet until the spirit of mutual helpfulness is engendered there can be no true sympa thy between them. "I once read a f tinny account of a so ciety which the women of the back al ley formed to relieve the distress of tho women of the avenue, which serves as an illustration of this point. The wom en of the back alley came together and decided to help the poor society women who lived on the avenue. It was called the Needle's Eye society, on account of the Scriptural allusion to the camel and the needle's eye. They planned to visit them in their homes and talk with them and do all in their power to make them happier than they were. So one timid little back alley woman started out one morning and rang the bell of a largo mansion on the avenne. She afckod for the mistress and was shown in. The lady of the house appeared, and tho little woman began to ask the regulation questions: 'How many children have you? 'Is your husband living?' 'What does he do?' Then she went on: 'You women of the avenue must be very un happy. You never have your children with you as we do, as you must turn them over to your servants, and, then, do you not find the care of so many servants very trying? Your social duties, too, must be a great strain on you, aud we want to help you. We want to show you how to li-e more as we do, so that you may bo happier. But the mistress of the mansion thought only that the little woman was crr.zy and ordered a servant to remove her. Just then the good bishop camo in, and he sympa thized with tho mistress of the mansion who had received a visit from a crazy woman, aud yet five minutes later he was advising the mistress to go down and visit the women of the back alley and to give them advice and help. To Honor Mrs. Harrison. Only once has the American woman been so honored by the government as to have her portrait handed down to pos terity on official issues in the case of Martha Washington, whoso head adorns the 1 bilL Cut there is a movement on foot among the national officers of the Society of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution to try to secure public recognition of their first president gen eral, the late Mrs. Caroline Scott Harri sonwife of ex-President Benjamin Har rison, by placing her portrait upon a new postage stamp. The idea originated in the fertile brain of a "Daughter, "who straightway talk ed the matter over with her patriotic colleagues, with the outcome that the proposition was laid before the board of management of the national society. These ladies in turn weighed the pros and cons and decided that it would be an appropriate way to respect the memory of a woman eminent for her patriotism. The national board then put the idea in correct form and presented the subject to ex-President Harrison and his family in order to first gain their assent to the proposition before taking any further steps. The ex-president is now considering the matter, and should he return a favorable answer the "Daughters," through the national board, will proceed to lay the subject before the postoffice department, as the postmaster geiferal would be the official to take the decisive step. The inception of the whole idea prob ably came through the masterpiece in portraiture of Mrs. Harrison, painted by Daniel Huntington, president of tho National Academy of Design, which por trait waa unveiled by the "Daughters" at their continental congress lately held in Washington. The picture now hangs in the executive mansion. There is still pending in the United States congress a bill for enlarging the White House by a plan originated by Mrs. Harrison. New York Kerald. Widening the Sphere. Women are now taking the place of men in many departments of business. They are taking the places of their fa thers and brothers as ticket agents. They are supplanting men as stenographers, typewriters and private secretaries, and th3 tendency in nearly all the big retail establishments is to reduce the staff of male clerks to the smallest possible num ber and to Lire women instead. Even in newspaper offices women are crowding the men out in some depart ments of work. In art they are making rapid strides to the front. Of the five prizes awarded to painters of pictures at the present exhibition at the National Academy of Design three have been taken by women, a remarkable achieve ment when it is recalled that over 4Q0 paintings are on exhibition. The active movement now in progress to secure from the constitutional convention, which is to meet iu May, an amendment to the constitution guaranteeing to wo men political equality with men is also a subject of much discussion just.now.

The Blaine Household. Mrs. Blaine is working steadily upon the life of her husband. The family have been living very quietly in the fa mous old red house on Lafayette square during the winter, and all of them have been doing literary work. Mrs. Blaine is to do more than to collect the material for Gail Hamilton to write. Mrs. Blaine is a literary woman herself, and the two women will collaborate.

They never make any dis play in this direction, but thousands of dollars' worth of flowers have been sent to them. Washington Letter in Boston Advertiser. Mrs. Cleveland's Dainty Shawl. Itrs. Cleveland gave a special recep tion, in Washington recently to Mme. Pogosky, manager of the New York branch of the Russian cottage industries. A handsome Orenburg shawl was pre sented to Mrs. Cleveland. These shawls are made of goat's down, a preparation of the wool of a special goat, once brought from Tibet, but now domesti cated in Russia. The preparation of the wool is all done by women. It is spun into a very fine thread, and this thread is knitted on kneedles to form a large shawl. A Rus sian lady spent one year in knitting such a shawl as the one presented to Mrs. Cleveland, which is so fine that it will go through a wedding ring. Mme. Pogosky explained the presen tation by giving a short account of what noble Russian women were doing for the Russian peasant women and children, and that Mme. Dourivev wished Mrs. Cleveland to awaken American sympa thy by wearing this shawl knitted for her especially. The Russian government has devoted some money to the support of the Rus sian cottage industries, as it recognizes the imuortance of opening in America a j market for the work of the Russian peas ant women and children. Washington Letter. Women Domestics. Statistics show that of the 1,836,288 women engaged in paid occupations in 1870 nearly one-half were domestic serv ants. By the census of 1880, when the number of working women in the United States had increased to 2,647,157, only one-third were found in domestic serv ice. It is not yet known what proportion of the present number of working wom en are employed as household servants, as the figures of the last census are not yet to be had. The reasons for this de crease in the number of household serv ants is supposed to be due to the shorter working hours, the companionship, the Sunday holiday and the greater freedom outside of working hours that are to be had in other employments. The greater remuneration given to the average girl in a factory or a retail store cannot be an element in her pref erence, as statistics show the average wages per week for this class of labor to be $5. 68, with an average outlay of $5.50. Though the income of the house hold servant is smaller, her outlay is also very small. Her station in life will probably leave her with more money at the end of the year than can be accumu lated by the average schoolteacher. New York Post. Xew York Women The New York correspondent of the Boston Transcript mentions the suffrage campaign in that state and says, speak ing of the petition to bo presented to the constitutional convention: "The sig nificance of the petition lies, however, chiefly in the support that it is finding in some measure among women who are not habitually 'advanced, who are in no wise excited over 'woman' and whose indifference to an extension of suffrage has been the familiar argument of its opponents. Meetings in behalf of the petition have been quietly held of late in houses in the prosperous avenues up town, to the surprise of some of the men who have learned of them. Women have attended them who help to make what ever of cultivated society New York con tains. Some of the offending males who scoff at the agitators respect these wom en, and their interest and support of the present petition has done more, as it seems to me, for the cause than a hun dred meetings. In this sympathy ad vance toward a wider suffrage in New York seems most evident. LOCAL MENTION. Advance car No. 1 of Ringling Bros, circus, is Topeka today.

A patient by the name of Klay, at the state insane asylum, was taken ill with measles Thursday, but was removed to the North Topeka insane asylum, where he will be kept till he recovers. It is thought that owing to his quick removal the disease will not spread. A SUIT AGAINST STEELE. The Police Sergeant Prosecuted on a C lilt in for Damages. The case of Mary Marshall against Sergeant Henry Steele and John Dagg for damages for searching her home is on trial in the district court today. Mary Marshall is a colored woman who was arrested last fall for robbing a drum mer in front of tlie Ihroop hotel. The girl asked the drummer for five cents with which to ride home, as there were holes in her shoes and the ground was damp. The drummer took out his purse and it is charged that the Marshall woman grabbed it and ran.' The police searched her and her house without find ing the money. She was arrested, but the drummer refused to prosecute her. It was then that the Marshall woman brought suit for damages. STEELE WASN'T DRUNK. The Attempt to Prove That llo Was Has Seen Abandoaed, The attempt to prove the charge of drunkenness against Sergeant Steele of the police force has been abandoned. Steele was suspended pending an in vestigation of the charges and the trial of the parties making the complaint in police court this morning was really the trial of Steele. Police Commissioners Krauss and Youut were in the court room and listened to the testimony. The case occupied all forenoou and is now being argued. There is conflicting evidence concerning the condition of the men arrested but there is little doubt but that Steele will be reinstated as a result of the trial. How's Thin!

The latest news from the battle between the Dalton gang and the posse of deputy United States marshals is not as bad as the first. A messenger named Case arrived today from the vicinity of the Twin mountains and reports a light, but the fatalities were not so numerous as at tirst reported. It seems that Bruce Miller has been harboring the Daltons of late, and that the Daltons spent Sunday night at Mil ler's. The posse of deputies surrounded the house Monday morning. Bruce Mil ler, his brother, his wife and daugh ter and a hired man wero there, but the Daltons had left only twenty minutes before. James Duon's place was next visited by the marshal's pos3e, and there the gang was found. A battle took place Wednesday night, and the marbhals think Bill Dalton and Bill Doolan were both killed, but the darkness prevented them from learning this to a certainty The marshals are certain that some of the band were killed and a number wounded. The Evening Times here has informa tion that both Bill Dalton and Bill Doolau were killed and borne off by their com rades, but this cannot be verified to night. The latest reports say that Heck Thomas of this city, one of the bravest men in the territory, was also killed. SENATE WIND ENGINES. A Proposition for tliA Ettinination of Hors From That Itody. Washington, April 21. The proposi tion submitted by Senator Gray of Dela ware for changing the rules of th sen ate" providing that no senator shall read a speech or read exclusively from books or papers, is intended more especially to cut otf speeches which are supposed to be made for the express purpose of kill ing time. This matter was under discussion dur ing the extra session when the silver de bate was on, the question being whether a senator could have a document read at the clerk's desk. In the course of the 'debate Senator Teller said that the reading of speeches was a practice that had grown up of late years and was not contemplated when the senate rules allowing entire freedom of debate were first inaugurated. The object in preventing the reading of speeches in this way is that while a senator may be content to read for hours without a single senator listening and not more than two or three in the cham ber he would probably not be disposed to talk to the same kind of an audience and it is further believed there would be very much less speech making.

Through Mrs. Dr. Ashmore, of North Topeka, Mr. Howe .learned that the pin had been seen in the possession of Andrew V alker, a colored man. Mr. Howe in company with a police man, called on Walker last night and re covered the lost valuable. The calored man said-he found it near the corner of Eighth and Topeka avenue, but did not know whose it was, as he does not take a newspaper. He had been offered 15 for the pin by a jeweler,' but did 'not sell it. because he thought it was worth $25. Mr. Howe says the pin is worth not less than $500. Cholera.Aesln. Vienna, April 21.

TO THE LADIE3 OF TOPEKA House cleaning simplified by using Fosiick's Har mola, a new method of cleaning ail kinds of high grade carpets and rugs without removing them i rum the Hours. Noue of the ooutusion and annoyauoes of tiie old methods. This is Something new and practical, both thorough and givuig satisfaction wherever used. Harmoia Is a pureiy vegetable preparation that removes everything foreign to the carpet. Old and badly soiled carpets made to look nearly as good as new. Uarinola is what is known as Mexican soap root. Lt grows in all semi-tropical countries, and has been used for ages by tue natives for domestic purposes in piace of soap, lt removes in a quiek and thorough manner every tiling that is foreign to the fabric on which it is used. It is destructive to most kinds of insect life and is a sure preventive oi moths. In isj3 Lyon's Magnetic 1- lea Powder was put on the market in sau Francesco, aua soon be came famous in ridding houses where it was used of rleas. The Alia California, a paper pub lished in san Francisco, raised a question of its uiilieaithf uuiess, and Dr. Kazipaiy, a Hunga rian chemist of note, made a tuorough investi gation of it and published in the rtau Franeisco Bulletin that Harinola. from which the Lyons' Magnetic Flea Powder was mad was one of tiie best disinfectants he knew of at that time and perfectly heaithiul. Aline article of toiiet soap has been manufactured for some time at Wichita. Kansas, fruin Harmoia. or Mexican Soap Root, and there are factories in other parts of tho country manufacturing a specially prepared soap for cleansing ail kinds of woolen fabrics. The Increased demand for Harmoia has nearly exhausted the root in its natural wild state, and now it is being cultivated largely in Arizona and Old Mexico. Harinola Is one of the principal ingredients in my preparation for carpet cleaning. 1 used it forty years while in California, for washing my clothes and for toilet purposes, and have used it for a number of years in different forms to remove grease and other soiled spots from clothing. Harmoia is the name I have given to my new method of carpet cleaning. As to its merits I would refer by permission to well known residents in different parts of Topeka that 1 have done work for.

Architect and Superintendent, 1004 KANSAS AVEJfCK. The State Journal's Want and Mis cellaneous columns reach each working day in the week more than twice as many Topeka people aa can be reached through any other paper. This la a fact. O it baa become a subject of gossip." Lieutenant Lyons wai thinking- uneasily, as be stood and faced his handsome re flection in the mirror. He knotted bis tie carefully, while knitting his brows, and frowning- as if his reflections wera any thing but pleasant. "Hang it all!" he thought, "it's time I was brought to my senses. Evil tongues work good sometimes. I've carried this liking for the wife of a brother officer far enough. The freedom we enjoy here, has proved a snare, in my case. And yet, con found their evil thoughts, in spite of her fondness for gaiety, she's devoted to her husband and child, and I'd cut off my hand sooner than syllable a word of my feelings to her. I'll get out of this to-morrow, and send in my resignation. I'll take up with that business offer in San Francisco. I don't belong here. I wish I had made up my mind a month ago." He found no difficulty in getting leave of absence for a few days. He recalled the overheard gossip, sensi tively, as he went about his prepara tions. Lieutenant Palmer had gone on leave of absence to visit his aged father in New Hampshire. Lyons, always on intimate visiting terms at Mrs. Palmer's apartments, went there more than ever, during Palmer's ab sence. Flossie was much attached to him. She was rather weakly, and was the object of her mother's tender est solicitude. Every day, Lyons was to be seen, in the handsomest turnout he afforded himself, with Mrs. Palmer and Flossie, out for an airing. Of course, comment was to be expected, at the fort, but Lyons was quite un prepared for the malicious remarks that met his ear accidentally. He knew he was no favorite, that the officers called him foppish, because he had the means to indulge tastes and j fancies that they were forced to sup- j press, and that he was considered a flirt among the ladies, but all this was trifling, compared with hearing his came linked with that of his friend's wife, in a dishonorable fashion. He decided to slip away without good-bye, without even sending a note. Too many notes had passed the last, few weeks. He knew now that every movement was watched, that prying servants had become suspicious and the consciousness of his own sen timents, which must be carefully re pressed, made him more keenly sensi tive. He would write a frank, open letter ffom New York, and offer his excuses. But his conscientiously laid scheme was to be frustrated. He took his seat in the car, at the last moment. When the train glided out of the dim depot, into the broad -sunlight, there across the aisle, three seats before him, sat Mrs. Palmer and Flossie. Had the Fates conspired to head him off? Mrs. Palmer was bending over Flossie, anxiously. The next moment her eyes met his, with a bright glad look of recognition. He crossed to her side, in a moment. "You on the train?" she said, as she crowded up the boxes and wraps cm the seat opposite her, to make room for him. I sent you a note, and expected you over. The doctor or dered Flossie away this very day, and I made no delay. She has been droop ing dreadfully, with the heat. I have to take the train from New York to Equity, N. J. I don't want to alarm her father, and spoil his vacation if I can avoid it." "I am going to New York also, in HIS MINI) WAS IX A. WHIRL. something of a hurry," he explained. Had she heard the gossip? Her un embarrassed manner and clear glance did not betray such knowledge. How sweet and true and womanly she looked, as she bent over Flossie anx iously. She had lost two darlings, and Flossie looked dangerously flushed and feverish. Lyons, watch ing them, eursed the idle gossip of the fort, felt resentfully certain that Palmer did not half appreciate his wife, called himself an idiot, and ended by sharing the mother's anxiety over his little favorite. "Won't you take me in your arms?" Flossie asked, anil at his ready com pliance she laid her head against his breast contentedly. He meant to see them aboard the train for Equity, and then leave them, but Flossie seemed worse, and clung to him so piteously, because, as she said: "Mamma's arms were not strong enough to hold her," that he felt that he must accompany them to their destination. Lieutenant Palmer opening the next morning's paper, was electrified by the startling headlines and the sen sational article, that chronicled the elopement of Lieutenant Lyons and Mrs. Palmer! It came upon him' like a thunder clap. He -winced tinder the minute circumstantial details, the references to his own domestic; life, the opinion that he and his wife did not "pull to gether" very well, the conjectures re garding his absence, since he had gone off two weeks ago, and left Lieutenant Lyons in possession of the field. Such spicy breakfast salad loses its flavor for the parties who are served up for publie delectation. To Palmer, it was maddening. He could not reason. His mind was in a whirl. Falsification never occurred to him, yet how could the thing be possible? Her last letter, written in her usual vein, was but two days old. He had a deep reticent nature, while his wife was social, and demon strative. He had unbounded faith in her, and had granted her large free dom in her male companionship, with a fearlessness, that seemed to chal lenge his social world to think ill of her. Had he made a mistake? Had he seemed to sometimes neglect her? Had she so far forgotten the dignity of wifehood and motherhood, aa to be come infatuated with Lyons, who was so much more social and attractive than himself? He took the 11 o'clock train for home. Along the route he fancied he was regarded curiously. He was tho centre of a widening ripple, which was fast embracing the whole land in its circle. In answer to his rather haughty questioning, he got information from the servants, that Mrs. Palmer had gone away with Flossie very sudden ly. Their shrugs and significant glances, humiliated him. He forbore sensitively to question, except to make sure at the depot that the pair had taken the train for New York to gether. He followed them there. He haunted the hotels and the Cen tral depot. He wondered if he should not kill Lyons. He thought of Flossie growing up to blush for her mother. and was glad for the two lying under the daisies. By a curious Chance he succeeded in tracing them to the train for Equity He found it a slow place, behind the times, and that the party he was in search of, were at Mrs. Hickson's four miles from the station- He hired a team and driver. Under cover of a stretch of Woodland near the house, he paid the man, dismissed him, and walked up to the low-roofed, rambling, roomy country-h&use, with doors and windows wide open. I He stepped over the low, worn front i threshold, into a broad hall. A tableau met his eyes through an open door on the right. Lieutenant Lyons sat by the open window, with Flossie in his arms. The mother stood waving a fan gently before the child's flushed face, and ominously brilliant eyes, her glance full of grave and fearful solicitude. Another woman, and a man with the air of a doctor, stood near. Palmer had no time to analyze the situation. His wife caught sight of him, and flew to greet him, with a kiss. "Did yU get my second tele gram?" she questioned. "O, Fred,' and she burst into tears upon his shoulder, "I I am afraid Flossie is going like the others. I delayed day after day to take her away, in spite of the doctor's warning. Feeling rather unreal and shadowy. Lieutenant Palmer shook hands with his brother officer, who transferred Flossie to his arms. With their hearts throbbing as one, the three watched the little life flut tering on the borders of the shadow land. At the end of twenty-four hours she was given back to their arms. In the intervals, it came out, how the doctor had recommended Equity, and also the chance meeting on the 'train. "Wouldn't I like to sue the entire press of America for defamation of character!" exclaimed Lyons wrath fully, when Palmer showed him the staring headlines. "Give gossips no chance hereafter to say you neglect your wife," Lyons dared to say, as the two men stood eye to eye fearlessly, "your wife is most true and womanly, but she is fasci nating, and men are susceptible, and the world is uncharitable." A frank, meaning glance, which Palmer understood, accompanied the words. "I am proud to call you my friend," he said, as he offered his hand. Leaving Mrs. Palmer with Flossie, the two officers went back to the fort together in a few days. The scandal mongers were at their wits ends, for a solution of the matter, but the in terested parties held, their peace. The press found a new sensation in denying the elopement. Newly born domestic peace reigns in the Palmer household. The hus band has not forgotten his lesson. Lyons is living down his infatuation amid new surroundings. The Philosophy of It Pa and ma were sitting quietly near the fireplace. Pa was reading a paper and ma was knitting. Presently ma looked up over her glasses. "Pa," she said, "I believe our Henry is in love." "What makes yon think so?" "Well, he ain't etnothin' for a week past, to speak of." Pa laid his paper down in his lap, folded his hands over it and gazed into the fire reflectively. "It's kinder queer 'bout bein In love," he said, slowly. "When people is eourtin' they never seem to keer for victuals, but just as soon as they git married victuals is about the only thing they'll hustle for seven days in the week-" ClllYORYJU' ,ta r FOR CLOTHES. VMS PROOTM QAM BUt COW OUTA A LORD'S LOUD SIIItlEK For the Preservation of Privilege Lord Randolph Churchill's Tirade. London, April 21. Lord Kandolph Churchill, once the pet and rising hope of the Conservative party, whose speeches even after he had wrecked his chances of the highest political distinction, were al ways listened to with the deepest atten tion, was the principal in a regrettable spectacle in the house today in the cours a of the debate on the ducal annuity. During the speeches of Messrs. La bouchere and Storey, Lord Randolph made numerous irrelevant and incoherent interruptions which were greeted with shouts of derinive laughter from all parts of the house. I lis own speech was a savage and vehement attack upon the Radicals in general and upon Henry Labouchere in particular. The speech of Lord Randolph called forth a running fire of laughter from the Radical benches. He looked ill, was decidedly excited, and he appeared to forget his misrepre sentation of previous speeches. On the other hand, he strewed his own with such phrases as "revolting sentiments" and "vomiting Radical trash." During f'aia remarkable speech Lord Randolph Churchill accused the Radicals of wanting to make the Duke of KJin burg a crossing sweeper, whereupon Charles A. Conybeare (Radical) cried out: "His mother has plenty of money." FEDERAL COURT ENDED. Judge Ttlner Leaven for Chayen at 1 :55 Today.

STATE JOURNAL. SATURDAY EVEXINO, APHIL, 21. 1894. ONE MORE RECEIVER. Another Topeka Man Who is in tao Fashion. C. T. ITLELLAN MADE EECEIYER Of the Leavenworth, Ttpeka Jfc South western Baad-What III Intentions Are Other Ilailroad Matters. The appointment of C. T. McLellan, division superintendent of the Santa Fe at this place, to the receivership of the abandoned Leavenworth, Topeka South western by Judge Caldwell yesterday, was a surprise to his friends here and to the gentleman himself. lie was first ap prised of it by the dispatches of thia morning. Mr. McLellan was seen by a Statu Journal reporter today and said he had received no official communication from the court and did not know yet just what would be done. It is probable that a mixed train one way each day will be put on from Leavenworth to Meriden to connect with the Santa Fe's trains morning and evening. The road is 47 miles in length, and has cot been in operation since fall. Mr. McLellan has not been over the road for Beveral years, and does not know exactly what will be needed in the way of put ting it in shape. He will make a trip of inspection as soon as he has heard from the court, and will take charge imme diately, with his headquarters here. This will of course insure more direct communication between Topeka and the people of Jefferson and Leavenworth counties, and we will catch considerable business from that quarter that has been going elsewhere. ALL ALOX( THE LINES. Xtailraad Mews Items Interesting: to Rail roader and the Public The Santa Fe has rented thirty freight and passenger engines from the Bald win Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, for a term of thirty months, and the Mis souri Pacific has rented twenty-seven freight engines for the same period. Thia costs the Santa Fe $294,051.71, and the Missouri Pacific $262,053.84, payable in monthly installments. The average rent of a Baldwin locomotive is about $330 a month. O. M. McConnell of the Santa Fe, re turned from Denver today. lie has been before the Colorado board, of rail way assessors, and has secured a reduc tion in the assessed valuation of his road in that state of $tiG0,000. Dr. J. It. Fay of the Santa Fe, who has just returned from Oklahoma, says that there is a fine prospect for a good crop there. Strong City is rejoicing in the well founded belief that the Santa Fe will soon build it a new $6,000 stone depot. South Mound, Neosho county, has pe titioned the state railroad commissioners to compel the M. K. T. to maintain a Btation and telegraph office at that place. It seems now that the Southern Pacific will mix in some iu the rate war between the Western Passenger association and the Union Pacific. It has made a de mand on the association that after to morrow its full second class rates be paid from Ogden west. The Chicago liues reply that if the restoration be in sisted on they will give all their through emigrant business to the Santa Fe. It is believed, however, that the Southern Pa cific will not insist. At a meeting of Missouri Pacific rail way employes at Hiawatha Sunday Judge" Caldwell's name was loudly applauded. The new Burlington bridge across the Missouri river at Leavenworth will be as sessed for taxes by Leavenworth county. According to old government surveys the mile of approach at the east end is on "Leavenworth Island," Kansas. The excursion of the returning ticket agents will reach Topeka on its way east Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock in a sec tion of No. 6. The train will consist of eight Pullman cans and a dining car, and two more dining cars will be added before reaching Chicago. W. J. Black, of the Santa Fe, will return with them. A train of fifteen cars of bananas will leave Kingston, New Mexico, on the 26th bound for eastern and northern points. Harry Weaver, Fred Connors, and Rob and Frank Merrick, of the Santa Fe officers, leave this afternoon for Cedar Grove on a four days' fishing trip. Robert Craig, of Carbondale, superin tendent of the Osage Carbon and Coal Mining Co., visited the Santa Fe offices this morning. SHOPS AND OFFICES. Some 2Jw Note of Personal and General Interest.

Be Partially Deolea That lie Is Going to II il n for Conrreu Here. General James B. Weaver is to be a Kansan according to the latest political story. When General Weaver was in Kansas ten days ago a scheme was fixed among the Populists of the Sixth congiessional district to have General Weaver move to Kansas, become a resident of the Sixth district and become the Populist candi date for congress to succeed Congress man Baker. It is understood that Baker has agreed to decline a renomination providing Weaver will take the nomination. By removing from Iowa to Kansas on the first of May General Weaver can ac quire a residence in the state before the November election and the leaders of the party in the Sixth district believe he can poll 10,0 10 more votes than any man now in the district. General Weaver was seen at his home in Des Moines last night. He objected to being interviewed, but admitted he was considering moving to Kansas, and from what he said it is thought he in tends accepting the offer of the Kansas Populists. A dispatch from Osborne Bays petitions are being signed throughout the Sixth district, asking Weaver to become the Populist congressional leader. SEEKING THE BURLINGTON. Slasa Sleeting' of Citizens Held In North Topeka Lwt Night. Much enthusiasm marked the meeting held at Lukens opera house last night in answer to the call of the Commercial club. The attendance was large and in cluded prominent citizens from all over the city, and a number from surround ing towns. The main points developed by the meeting were: That the L. T. S. W. railroad is not operated, but should be. That the Santa Fe has a road to Leav enworth by way of Wilder, and the Union Pacific has one by way of Lawrence, hence neither have any use for this road, and have not had except to keep out rival lines. That the first thing necessary is to get the road in the way of being sold and then induce the Burlington to buy it. The first part of the work is already acknowledged as Judge Caldwell yester day appointed C. L. McClellan of this city, receiver of the L. T. S. W. rail way on application of the American Loan Trust company of Boston. The re ceiver is a division superintendent of the Santa Fe and his appointment appears like a bluff intended to keep the Bur lington out. It is well understood that during the time this road has been operated by the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific they have studiously avoided making the road pay expenses. Every bit of traffic by this line was so much taken from their other lines, so the only business it got was a little local. In opening the meeting last night. Chairman William Green said: "This is a citizens meeting, though under the auspices of the Commercial club. There is a strong feeling favorable to the ex tension of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy to this city. This meeting is the outgrowth of that sentiment. It has been said that already that some one is getting money out of this movement. I hope it is so. I should be glad to know that the Burlington road is sufficiently interested in this matter to put up money to have it agitated." S, S. Urmy was ca lied upon to recite the proceedings of the previous meeting, which he did. Sam Dolman said he had been in cor respondence with officials of the road, and from the answers received believed they had in contemplation an extension of the road to this city if properly en couraged. D. C. Tillotson followed with an inter esting talk. He said: "All we can do is to show our good will. Railroads that have come here have every reason to be satisfied with Topeka, and Topeka has no reason to complain of her railroads. They are paying their way, and are getting good returns on their investments as far a3 Topeka is concerned." Marshall Gephart of Oskaloosa said that jvhat the people of Jefferson county wanted more than anything else was to have the L. T. S. W. operated, so they could come to the capital of the state by rail without coming through Mis souri. Thomas L. Bain thought that what we want more than anything else is river rates Kaw river not Missouri river. The meeting was addressed in much the same vein by C. P. Bolmar, J. S. Col lins, Simon Greenspan, Mike Heery, Judge Day, Harry Safford and others. On motion of Sam Dolman the follow ing resolution was adopted: To the President, General Manager and Direc tors of the C B. W. Kailroad: Resolved, That any time in the near future that your road desires to extend your line to Topeka that a committee of leading citizens will meet you at Topeka or any other point in the west that you may designate, to consult ways and means by which we can assist in the success of the much desired connection of your road with the. city of Topeka. The following resolution was offered by D. C. Tillotson and adopted: Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the chair to take such steps as may be necessary to secure the opera tion of the Leavenworth, Topeka' and Southwestern. On motion of H. C.Safford and C.P.Bol mar was instructed to correspond with G. E. Manchester and ascertain the feel ing of the Burlington towards the city of Topeka. Chairman Gunn said he would an nounce the committee in a few days, and the meeting adjourned subject to call of the chairman and the committee to be appointed. The funeral of the late C F. Kendall will take place at the parlors of the Copel and hotel, Sunday at 2:30 p. m. The friends of the family are invited to be present. The burial, however, will be private. Peculiar to Itself".

He Receives a Clear, a TrntHfal and a Most Valuable Answer, Which, la of Interest to All. "Is there any remedy for extreme ema ciation? Is there any way by which a thin weak person can be made fleshy and strong?" These interesting questions were re cently addressed to a leading medical journal by a hard-working business man. His health had become greatly run down by reason of over application, long hours and other excesses which tend to reduce the weight. The consequence was he found himself a sufferer from indiges tion, dyspepsia and faulty assimilation, followed later by cattarrh of the bowel3. The food he ate did not give a tenth part of the nourishment it o.ught to have given. His blood became thin, his flesh wasted away, until he was reduced to a mere shadow of his former self. The fact was, he was dying from sheer starvation. The editor of the medical Journal be came interested in this case and gave it earnest attention. The result was that he forwarded 6ome sound advice to the sufferer. He told him something which if it were generally known would save an immense amount of sickness, weakness and suffering. What the editor said was this: "We advise you." he wrote, "to take a pre-digested food; that is a food capable of being absorbed by the system directly it is swallowed, thus imparting nourish ment to the body in spite of the stomach. This will give your stomach a rest and enable it to recuperate. It will .also prevent the accumulation of undigest ed food, which causes the constipation and other disflressing symtoms of which you complain. It will build up your sys tem as nothing else can do. It will in crease your weightgive you new strength and make a well man of you. Now, there is only one food of this kind. It is known as 'Paskola the fiesh-forming food. It is a great scientific preparation something totally different from anything ever be fore introduced. Its effects are remark able. Paskola is now recognized as a perfect substitute for cod liver oil and ail other old fashioned remedies. It is easy and pleasaut to take. It is grateful to to the most delicate stomach. From what we have seen of its effects we are confident that it will not only give you relief but increase your weight in a very short time." The business man followed this advice. Today he is in splendid health. All his old ailments have departed, his former strength has returned, and instead Of weighing 110 pounds he tips the scales at 140. He never wearies of telling about what Paskola has done for him, and his friends repeat the story. This is but one instance of what Pas kola has done for thin, weak, debilitated people. Thousands of others might be mentioned. Certain it is that as a flesh former and remedy for distressing stom ach trouble it is unsurpassed. Loss of flesh is a eign of disease. Half the ail ments of the human race spring from dis orders of the stomach. The way to relieve all symtoms tending to these conditions is to take a perfectly pre-digested food. Pas kola is the only food known to medical science that thoroughly conforms to this high standard. A pamphlet giving full particulars re specting Paskola will be sent cn applica tion to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade St.. N. Y. City. DISPENSARIES CLOSED. Gov. Tillman Acquiesces in the Decision of tile supreme Court Columbia, S. C, April 21. Every dis pensary in the state has received orders to close immediately as the result ot the governor's acquiescence in the supreme court decision. It is the opinion of the attorney general that the decision allows the unrestricted sale of liquor, but a test case will sooa be brought to decide the question. 'lhe general impression is that the governor will call an extra session of the general assembly, pass a new law, and then take it up to the supreme court, which on July 1 will be Tiilmanite in politics by the qualification of Justice F. B. Gary. In that event the court will re verse its decision. Since the Darliqgton episode the whis ky constabulary have been comparative ly inactive. No raids, either of stores or private residences, have been attempted anywhere in the state. L ROAD IN BUILDINGS. Elevated Roads in Chicago to Run Through Second Stories of Knlldlngt. Chicago, April 21. The Northwestern elevated road in this city announces that it will enter the business district by lit erally penetrating the large buildings. It will condemn a strip forty feet wide, arcade fashion, through the second sto ries of the business section. The structure of the road will be sup ported on an independent foundation of pillars and the space over and under the tracks will continue to be utilized as at present for offices, stores and shops.
