Crowd Vere Disappointed. "There-wan a crowd of people surround ing the district court in expectation of the trial of Brownti and Jones, and it was disappointed attho postponement of their cases until next Friday. The crowd like wiso was disappointed at its failure to gain admittance to the court room to view the proceedings, only those persons who could give some good reasons for their presence being admitted. Amoug the earliest arrivals at the court were Coxey, Browne and Jonea. They were soon joined by. four Populist members of congress, Lafe Pence of Colorado, Win. Baker, Haider E. Boen, W. II. Kem and Adjutant General Tars ney, who offered their services as coun- set. Marshal Carl his spectacular Browne was attired in buckskin suit, and the in consultation until party engaged Judge Miller ascended the bench, when Browne and Jones walked behind the railing into the prisoners' enclosure, accompanied by Air. toxey. Several minor cases were first disposed of. Duriug these proceedings the group of sympathizers was augmented by the airiv.il of Chairman Taubeneck and Sec retary Turner, of the central committee of the People's party, aud Dr. T. A. Bland, a Washington third party man. A Ir. Moloney Is Prosecutor. Attorney General Maloney, a smooth faced blonde-haired young man, ap peared as prosecutor of the Cox eyites, and announced: "I hava been informed that a man named Jacob S. Coxay is in court, aud after ad investigation last night I have thought myself warranted in filing an iu formation against him. I have made out a warraut but if he is willing to sub mit, I do not care to have it served upon him." This was a surprise, and Coxey spoke up, "I'm here and ready." Then he stepped forward to the bar and attorney Samuel Ilytnan said: "First we ask whether all of the informations have been filed that the government in tends to make out.1' "That is not the question" replied the judge. Then the information charging Jacob S. Coxey with unlawfully displaying a banner or device whs read and he re plied: "Not guilty. The accused elected to be tried bv jurv and the case was set for Friday morning. When the question of bail came up one of the lawyers for the accused said: "It i a moral certainty that these gentlemen would remain here for ten years for trial." ,"We want legal certainty" replied Judge Miller, and he fixed the amount of bond in each case at $500. Didn't Core If TH.r Were Beaten. Representative Tom Johnson of Ohio created a sensation of short duration in the home shortly after it assem bled by introducing a resolution calling for a congressional investi gation of the beating of citi zens by the police during the Coxey demonstration at the capitol yesterday. He urged it as a Question of privilege, declaring that the offense occurred on .the capitol grouDds and purported to be in defense of members of congress. Speaker Cisp ruled that the resolu tion did not present a question of per gonal privilege and ruled it out of order. Mr. Johnson asked unanimous consent to immediately consider the resolution, but there was a chorus of objections, and the resolution was thus summarily killed. Marillo Ricker, a female attorney of this city, came forward to offer bail for General Coxey, bat Assistant District Attorney Maloney reminded her of a jnroviaion of. law which forbids attorneys from signing bail bonds. Subsequently Frank Hume, a wholesale grocer, signed the bond for Coxey and Jonea. WHAT COXEY WOII.I) HAVE SAID. Wanted to Remind long res of tb Prom ised Return of Prosperity. Washington, May 2. Coxey has taken some pains to give, out for publication a copy of the speech he would have deliv ered but for the, interference of the police. In this speech he takes the ground the capitol is the property of the people, and a -fitting place to mourn over their dead liberties. Upon these steps carpet had been spread for royalty and the lobbyists of trusts and corporations had passed un challenged on their way to committee rooms. The people were there today to remind congress of its promise of return ing prosperity when the Sherman act should be repealed, to petition for legis lation that would give employment to every man willing to work and bring universal prosperity. He protested against the unnecessary act of usurpation and tyranny in deny ing the right of petition and assembly. The document was signed, 'J. S. Coxey, Commander of the Commonweal of Christ." SENTIMENT IN COLORADO. Resolutions Adopted by the Unemployed of Denver At 0:ter riuces. Denver, May 2. At a mass meeting of unemployed held in Lincoln park the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has been reported that some of the leaders of the great educa tional reform movement are now under arrest for asserting the right of the op pressed masses; therefore Resolved, That a telegram be sent to-Washington demanding their imme diate release.

Aspen, Colo., May 2. The citizens' mass meeting at the opera house was a monster demonstration, showing that the people of Aspen believe f ully in the con stitutional right of citizens to petition congress. Funds will be contributed and sent to Congressman Bell, to be turned over by him to Gen. Coxey for the pur pose of maintaing the peace army. Cripple Cheek, Colo., May 2. The local brigade of the commonweal army has held its tirst drill. Three companies were formed aud a full set of officers elected for each company. Geu. San ders saj-s the brigade .will march out of camp 200 strong at 9 o'clock tomorrow better equipped for the long journey to Washington than any similar brigade that has been formed west of the Missis sippi. GEN. MILKS ON COXEYISM. Citizens Hwvs a Hitflit to Petition, Itut Shouldn't Orjuiiiza In "Armies" Chicago, May 2. Gen. Miles in an in terview says that as far as he knows, no orders have been issued by the war de partment or the army, regarding the commonwealers, who are marching to Washington from different points of the country. 'It is unfortunate," said he, "that these men, whatever may be their condition or their sufferings, have adopted the name of army.' There is only one army in this country. "All American citizens have the right to petition congress, but it is unfortu nate that they have adopted the plan of organizing meu into companies, giving some of them titles to which they have no right, and organizing pseudo courts to try offenders. All this savors of a menace towards congress, and tends to create prejudices against their cause in congress aud among the people in gen eral." KELLT CALLS COXEY A FOOL. Says He Onjhl to ltiv Wwlled for the Other Industrials. Des Moines, la.. May 1. Geu. Kelly was incensed last night when he read the reports of Coxey's arrest. 'That man must be a fool," he said. "It was foolish for him to attempt such a move without waiting for us. lie should have known he would be unsuccessful without the support of the west. If he had waited for us it would have- been different. I do not anticipate any such trouble when we get tiiere. We will have no difficulty in going into Wash ington." KELLY'S NINE PLAYS BALL The General Blames tike Commonwealers for Ysteitlty's Trouble. Des Moines, May 2. Kelly's indus trial army made no visible progress toward the national capitol today, in dulging instead in the national game. Kelly's Industrial nine made its first ap pearance on the diamond crossing bats with the Des Moines Stars. Iwenty five cents admission was charged and a good Sized crowd attended. Kelly stripped off his coat and shoulder straps and played first base, lie coached, his men and pounded the elusive curves of the Des Moines pitcher in a very sat isfactory manner. The general showed himself a very fair player aud shouted and sprinted with all the energy of a-jpro-fessional. The gate receipts were turned over to the industrials. Kelly was still indignant today over Coxey's clash with the Washington au thorities, and placed ail the blame with the commonwealers. He said Carl Browne was an ass; declared that Coxey showed no generalship, aud declared that the industrial army would have no sruch trouble-when it arrived in Wash ington. The offer of the Great Western railroad to carry the men to Vanwert for $2 per head was withdrawn today and the action has further incensed the labor organizations. They claim that the refusal is another evidence that the railroads have com bined against Kelly, and are forcing the minor lines to follow their example. General Master V orkmam Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, said mysterious ly today, that he was in possession of highly important information, but ab solutely refused to reveal its nature, and it was rumored that he had received encouragement from President Debs of the American Railway Union and that the latter would be in Des Moines soon. A secret coaference of labor leaders j was held in Trades Assembly hall at which it was confidently stated mat Kelly would secure transportation. THE "MOTHER OF THE ARMY.' Mrs. Bsndsll Has m New Title i the Randall Brigade. Chicago, May 2. Randall's army of unemployed marched today from Grand Crossing to Hammond, Ind. More re cruits than deserters were reported, and the ranks contained 500 men when the march began. A company of war veter ans numbering ten men was made up and placed at the head of the column. Orders were issued by Randall to receive no more recruits un less they brought with them one day's rations. The police escorted the army t the city limits at the Indiana state line. Mrs. Randall joined her husband and was introduced as the mother of the army. She announced that she would act as advance agent and left for Hobart, Indiana. BIG NEWSPAPER CHANGE. Receivers for San Fraselieo "Call' nl "Bolletin" Asked For. San Francisco, May 2. An action was begun in the superior court today j that will probably result in radical changes in the management of two of San Francisco's leading daily news-l papers.

Simon ton, in the ownersuip oi the daily Morning Call aud the daily Evening Bulletin, tiled a petition praying for the appointment of a receiver for the Call and Bulletin properties. He asks that the receiver so appointed be ordered to sell the Call property and ten days subsequently to sell the Bulletin at pub lic auction or at private sale to the high est bidder for cash. Mr. Fitch asks lor a final accounting between all the par ties in interest. It is said that strained relations be tween Mr. Fitch and A. R. Carothers, who represents the Pickering interests, is" the cause of Mr. Fitch's application for a receiver. FORT WAYNE TURNED OVER Democrats Lose One of Their Strongholds til Indiana. Indianapolis, May 2. In a large ma jority of the Indiana towns where elec tions were held, the result show decided Republican victories, though in one or two instances, the Democrats were suc cessful in reversing the city government.

Plymouth elected the entire Republi can ticket for the first time in 2o years. Jeifersouville went Republican, the first time in its history. SHALL IT BE STERNE.

Some of the Great Ones of Earth Among: Them. The International Bimetallic Congress Meets in London. MR.BALFOUIl'S SPEECH A Return to Silver is Absolutely Necessary. Governor of the Bank of France in Sympathy. Liddertlale, the World Famous Financier Endorses. London, May 2. The international bimetallic conference under the auspices of-the bimetallic league, waa called to order in the Egyptian hall of the Man sion House today, the lord mayor, Lord Evans presiding. The proceedings opened with an ad dress by the lord mayor after which Prof. Shield Nicholson read a paper on "the fall in the general level of prices in relation to the appreciation of gold and the divergence in relative value of g-old and silver." During the afternoon the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the Conserative leader in the house of commons, made an ad dress, which was followed by a paper by Leonard Courteuay, M. P., on "The practicability of maintaining a ratio be tween gold and silver under an interna tional bemetallic agreement." This was followed by a discussion. A banquet will be given this evening to the English and foreign members of the conference. There were about 400 delegates pres ent at the opening session today, among them beintr Brooks Adams of Boston, Mass.; Mr. Vanderberg. president of the Bank of the Netherlands, Amsterdam; Henry Geynuschi of Paris, president of the French bimetallic' league; David Murray, president of the South Austra lian Bimetallic league; Thos. Salt, late president of the bankers' institute; Sir Malcom Frazeriu, general agent in Lon don for Western Australia, the Right Hon. W. Lidderdale, ex-governor of the Bank of England, and a number of prom inent foreign and British financiers, as well as many members of parliament. Object of the League. The object of the bimetallic league is to urge upon the British government the necessary co-operation with the other leading nations for the establishment of the free coinage of gold and silver at fixed ratio. Among the letters of regret was one from Archbishop Walsh of Dublin. The archbishop said that he was personally glad to see the conference discuss the aspect of the case in which Ireland was most deeply concerned, namely the ruinous effects of the present artificially created dearth of money upon hus bandry and its interests. Concerning the currency question generally the archbishop wrote: "I can only say the experiences of years ago will but serve to deepen the conviction of the irresisti ble strength of the cause of international bi-metallism. The practical feature of the recent experimental tampering with the currency of India ought 6urely be sufficient to finally check any further development of the disastrous doctrinaire policy which has bo long held ground in England." 211. Majrnln In Sympathy. The governor of the bank of France, M. Magnin, also sent a letter applauding the aims of the conference and saying: "The silver question imposes itself more every day upon financiers. The whole world requires its solution in its general interest; It is intimately bound up in the commercial aud industrial prosperity of all nations. I am a resolute partisan of the rehabilitation of silver." Prof. Francis A. Walker wrote applaud ing the "gallant, gaining fight for the restoration of silver to its historical place iu'tne currencies of the world, which the bi-metallic league is making." President Andrews of Brown Univer sity, Providence, R. L: "Our cause is making rapid progress and we are certain to succeed." During the discussion which followed the reading of Prof. Nicholson's paper, Dr. Arendt, a member of the Prussian diet, declared that bi-metallism was mak ing progress in Germany and he thought that if an international conference waa had, it would have very different results from the Brussels conterence. Mr. Bslfoot'i Spseeh. The feature of the conference was the speech of Mr. Balfour. He said that many who were suspicious of the double stands, a and bimetallic system now rec ognize in view of the great impending dangers, that the best safeguard is to re habilitate silver as one of the great in struments of the monetary transactions of the world. It was absolutely necessary that the monetary functions of silver should be restored If business wa3 to be carried upon a gold basis. The differences of an international agreement, he insisted, were merely as to the details and if any question should be settled by an interna tional agreement, surely this one should be.

"YOU MAY GO HOME.'? So Says Cot. Lewelllne to Graolaa Cle board Coarleted of Murder. The governor today in response to the recommendation of the state board of pardons, granted a full and uncondi tional pardon to Gracian Cleboard of Rawlins county. Cleboard is a young man and was sen tenced to 50 years in the state peniten tiary in March, 189J, for murder in the second degree. lie was convicted of poisoning his lit tle brother. The boy died after eating apples and it was thought that the poison had been put into the fruit. An investi gation showed that Cleboard had bought strychnine ten months before to poison squirrels but had thrown the bottle away and it was found in a pool of water with a boy's tracks near by just after the child's death. The- evidence presented before the board of pardon? went to show that the boy had takeO the poison himself, either intentionally or by acci dent. The attorney who defended him set up the defense that the boy was not pois oned, but poisou was found by analysis in his stomach and aa no other defense was made, the jury found Cleboard guilty. He has been in the prison hospital at Lansing for nearly two years and but little hopes are entertained of his re covery. No protest to granting the par don was filed. The pardon was secured by J. W. Morphy of the secretary of state's office. Jacob Buckuer has also been pardoned. He was confined in the McFherson jail ou a sentence for beating his wife. The board of pardons came to the conclusion that the case was one of malicious pros ecution. A WEAK DEFENSE. None of the Statements of Witness Againat Hiteheock are fihaken. The defense is introducing testimony at the Hitchcock investigation today, the prosecution having finished up yester day. The first witness called" this morning was Miss Mollie Nolin, who acts as as sistant matron half a day, and teaches the other half. She comes from the same county as Hitchcock. Lawyer Madden asked her: 'What do you know of the superintendent as re gards an ungovernable temper?" "He does not have an ungovernable tem per." "Have you ever noticed any outbursts of temper? "No, sir." "Has he been attentive to the duties incumbent upon him?" "Yes, sir," with an emphatic nod of the head. "Has he treated you well?" "Yes, sir." "Did you ever observe a boy in Justis' family that was made to go doors without a overshirt on?" Noah Allen objected. He aa'ld- Mr. out Mr, Justis' wasn't'on, on trial. Objection overruled. -.--v-.-. "lie went from Saturday afternoon till bunday evening in that condition.. Ilia name was Lock wood." The witness was asked concerning the superintendent's anger. She was not around when Hitchcock would meet the other employes. She said: "The angriest I ever saw him was the night Mr. Jones talked to him." "Did j'ou ever hear the superintendent quarrel with the matron?" (His wife.) "Yes sir." "What did he say about her going home?" "Well, if I tell what they said I want it understood that he was not mad when he said it," said the witness with an un easy glance around at the superintendent and his wife. "Well, what was it he said?" "ihe matron was out of patience and said she wanted to go back home, and the superintendent told her she could go if she wanted to. Then he looked up and said 'Will you go tonight "Do you know of any other time they quarrelled in the dining room?" "I have heard them argue over, differ ent matters," replied the witness. The next witness called was Miss Emma Graham. She is one of the old employes. She seemed to be friendly to Hitchcock. When Noah Allen began to cross-examine her she became angry and would answer the questions shortly. Her du ties in the institution were that of an attendant. She took care of the halls and the dining room. She was in the habit of reporting to both the superin tendent and his wife. She had never seen any boys working out in cold weather without gloves on. Miss Graham said that Hitchcock had treated her very well. Dr. L. A. Ryder was next called. He is the physician for the institution. When asked if he knew of any neg lect on the part of the management in calling him to see sick boys, he replied that he did not. When asked concerning a certain boy in the institution that had a loathsome disease, he said that he had recommend ed that the board release him from the institution, and that the board had done so. He had the bed clothes burned up. He didn't know much that was impor tant fbr either side. BISHOP YIN CENT'S ILLNESS He Is S ix ffe r i n if From a Carbuncle 't Considered Serions. Bishop J. II.

Senator Stockbridsre's Death Thtrd in Five Weeks, That the Senate Has Suffered in Its Hanks. CONGRESS ADJOURNED To Make Preparations for His Funeral. WABBrofGTos; May 2. Never before in its history, it would be safe to say, has the senate lost its members in such rapid succession. Five weeks ago the obsequies of Senator Colquitt of Georgia were held in the senate chamber; three weeks later the la mented Senator Vance of North Caro lina was buried in the mountain side of his beloved state, and to-day for the third time in five weeks, another senator lies dead", and the desk of Sen ator Stockbridge of Michigan is draped in sombre black. The blind chaplain referred to Sen ator Stock bridge's death with his usual tender pathos. Mr. McMillan of Michigan announc ed the death of his colleague in a feelinjr and impressive manner, and offered the usual resolutions, declar ing that the senate had heard with regret of the death of Senator Stock bridge, that a committee of seven sen ators should be appointed by the vice president to act with a committee from the house of representatives to attend the funeral at Kalamazoo, Mich., Instructing the secretary to communi cate these resolutions to the house, and that the senate should immediate ly adjourn. In accordance with the resolution the vice president named Senators McMillan, Washburn, Cullotn, Jones of Arkansas, Gibson and Blancharcl as the committee, and immediately af terward, at 12:08, the senate adjourned until to-day at XI o'clock. BRIETF SESSION OP THE HOUSE. Resolutions Adopted Regarding tbe Death of Senator Stockbridge. Washington, May 2. The session of the house was brief yesterday on ac count of the death of Senator Stock bridge of Michigan. The senate amendment to the bill for the punish ment of crimes in Yellowstone park was agreed to on motion of Mr. Mc Eae, Democrat of Arkansas. Mr. Dingley, Republican, of Maine called up from the joint committee on expenditures in the departments, the bill to improve the methods of ac counting in the treasury department. The bill is designed to reduce expendi tures in the treasury department 180,000. Mr. Dingley explained that the bill was unanimously recom mended by the members of the joint committee and was indorsed by the secretary of the treasury. While Mr. Dingley was ex plaining the provisions of the bill word came to the house that the pa rade of the army of the commonweal of Christ was moving up the hill on the right of the capitol grounds. In a moment the house became almost de serted, the members flocking on the south portico to view the march. At 1:25 the consideration of the bill was interrupted by the arrival from the senate of the resolutions adopted by that body relative to the death of Senator Stockbridge. After they had been read at the clerk's desk, Mr. Burrows, the dean of the Michigan delegation, arose and in a few well chosen words formally an nounced the death of the late sena tor. Appropriate resolutions were moved by Mr. Burrows and adopted, and Messrs. Burrows, Bynum, Mc Creary, Boutelle, Payne of New York, Aitken. Thomas and Richardson were appointed a committee to attend the funeral. As a further mark of respect the house at 1:35 p. m. adjourned. AMENDED THE POOLING BILL. Sanatoral Committee Report Important Changes in It Provisions. Washixgtox, May 2. The sub-committee of the senate committee on inter-6tate commerce, consisting of Senators Gorman, Camden and Cullom, to whom was referred the bill to per mit railroad pooling, yesterday re ported the bill back to the committee with impottant amendments. By one of the proposed amend ments, the portion of the bill author izing the Inter-State Commerce coin mission" -to issue an order requiring that a pooling contract between rail roads, 'which in the opinion of the commission results in unreasonable rates on unjust discrimination, be modified, and giving the commission power to enforce such order, is stricken out, and a substitute sug gested instead of this provision, which provides that such crder shall be made only after investiga tion. Instead of giving the commission authority to proceed to enforce the order direct, the amend ment authorizes an appeal to the cir cuit court of the United States, by either the commission or any person interested. The court is authorized in such cases to grant a temporary in junction, and is required to hear and determine the matter as speedily as possible, giving it priority over other business of the court. An appeal to the United States supreme court is also provided for. A new section is proposed to the interstate commerce act, as follows: "That a common carrier aiTeeted by any recommendation, decision or order of the commission in any proceeding may at any time make application for a rehearing of the same or any mat ter determined therein, and it shall be lawful for the commission in its discretion to grant such rehearing if sufficient reason therefor be made to appear by such carrier. No such ap plication shall excuse any carrier from complying with or obeying any recommendation, decision or order of commission, or operate in any manner to stay or postpone the enforcement jnereof, -without the -special order of the commission. And, it in their judgment, after such re hearing, it shall appear 1 the original recommendation, decision or order are in any respect unjust or unwarranted, the commission may re verse or modify the decision accord ingly. Any order made by the com mission, suspending in any respect its original determination, pending a rehearing, and any recommendation, decision or order after auch rehearing, reversing, changing or modifying its original determination, shall operate to suspend, reverse, change or modify accordingly, any judgment, decree, order or proceedings of the circuit court enforcing the original determin ation, but shall have no other- effect thereon." rXIOIT PACIFIC AFFAIRS. Boas Committee on Railroads Hear Statements of Committee. Wabhutotos, May 2. Yesterday's session of the house committee on Pa cific railroads was given up to hearing statements made on behalf of the re organization committee 'of the Union Pacific railroad, in connection with the consideration of the payment of the debt of that railroad to the United States. Mr. Boissevain of Holland, repre senting the holders of Union Pacific securities in that country, first ad dressed the committee. The inter ests he represented believed that prompt action by congress was neces sary and imperative so that the re organization committee would not have to wait too long before beginning its work. He could not indorse the Eroposition in the attorney general's ill concerning the lien proposed to be given to the government in the re organization scheme, and said he thought the branch lines should be left out of such lien. Mr. Boissevain said he represented between $30,000,- 000 and 840,000,000 of the company's securities. The committee heard statements from a number of members of the re organization committee and counsel, during which the history of the steps taken to bring about the reorganiza tion was frone over. There seemed to exist in their minds the belief that the extending of the government lien over the entire system of the Union Pacilic, as proposed, would prove a serious obstacle to the carrying out of the plan of reorganization. BRECKEXRIDGE TALKS. Be Ts Preparin'g to 3Take the Fight of Bis Life for Re-Klectlon to Congress. Washington, May 2. Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge, the congressman defendant in the Breckinridge-Pollard trial, said yesterday: "I start for Lexington Thursday morning and will open the canvass Saturday afternoon at that place." To a question as to how he regarded the reports of the formidable opposi tion to his renomination, he replied: "I anticipate opposition, of course, but I am willing to trust the people of my district in this matter and will cheerfully abide by their decision. The recent case in Judge Bradley's court has been thoroughly considered by them and it is still pending on final appeal. I do not care to discuss the verdict further at this time." Speaking of the campaign, Colonel Breckinridge said: "I feel confident that I will be nominated and elected. 1 do not care to outline at present my plan of campaign, but my speeches will speak for themselves. It is my purpose, if possible, to still be of use to my district and to my state in a legislative capacity, notwithstanding my mistakes, which I frankly ac knowledge and ask no one to condone. "The American people have always been generous and fair. I -propose to merit a fair and generous treatment at their hands and have -confidence this opportunity will be afforded me by my renomination and re-election to congress." Traders Are Alarmed. St. Louis, Mo., May 2. A decision in the circuit court at Memphis has alarmed traders on 'change here. It is practically to the effect that in all sales made on margins, unless both parties actually intend to receive or deliver the amount of grain itself in volved in the contract, the transaction is gambling pure and simple and the money so lost can riot be recovered. An Old Indian Steal Unearthed. Washington, May 2. Mr. Curtis of Kansas has discovered that bonds val ued at SS67.000, forming part of an In dian trust fund of $3,000,000, were stolen in 1S59, and the government has since continued to pay the interest.

Cheset Co, Toledo, O. tgjfSold by Druggists, 75c THE STRIKERS WOII. Great; Northern Strike Settled by Arbitration, After Beins On for Eighteen Days. DEMANDS GRANTED. Employes Gained All the Points Asked. Sr. Pacl, Minn., May 8. After be ing tied up for eighteen days almost completely from end to end, the Great Northern railway system will now re sume work, the great strike being de clared off last night. It is practically a victory for the American railway union and President Debs, although the committee from the commer cial bodies of the two cities were largely responsible for the result. The governor had tried mediation, suggesting arbitra tion, but his action did not meet with success, and two other similar at tempts to bring about arbitration failed, the union leaders claiming that their demands were just and did not admit of arbitration, although they finally said they were willing to have the matter submitted to the citi zens' committee and would be gov erned by their decision. Various conferences were held by the committee with President Hill and with the labor leaders, Mr. Hill was pronounced in favor of arbitration all along and agreed to any system of arbitration if the men would resume work. Finally the committee got them to meet yesterday and the re sult is that the strike has been de clared off and the men will return to work at once. The conference went over all de tails thoroughly, and Mr. Hill made great concessions to the men, the re sult being that the whole difficulty was settled then and there. It was settled really by arbitration, the citi zens' committee being the judges, but the strikers gained all their demands, while the company secured a settle ment by arbitration, as Hill desired. The 4,500 miles of track will be opened for business by over 5,000 employes, and the entire Northwest will be re leased from the freight and passenger blockade that, has oppressed it for over two weeks. OPENED A NEW BRIDGE. The Burlington's New Bellefontaine Structure Opened. St. Lons, Mo., May 2. The new bridges of the Burlington system across the Mississippi at Alton, 111., and across the Missouri at Bellefon taine Bluffs, Mo., were formerly opened yesterday. A train from Missouri having on board Governor W. J. Stone and staff, and one from Illinois having Lieutenant Gov ernor Gill and staff, met at the center of the Alton bridge and there with formal speeches opened the structure to traffic, after which Miss Edith Brenholdt christened the bridge, breaking a bottle of champagne on the heavy steel work. These pro ceedings were followed by a luncheon at Alton, succeeded by other festivi ties. The completion of these two bridges, both double tracked, gives the Hurlington system an independent outlet to St Louis, in connection with terminal facilities, admitting of the handling of 5,000 cars, with room for 500 more. The terminals include 125 miles of track. INDIANA ELECTIONS. Republicans Win in a Majority of th Municipal Contests. Chicago, May 2.

Grand Master Workman Sovereign arrived in Des Moines yesterday with the avowed intention of throwing the influences of the Knights of Labor in' an" effort to secure a train for Kelly's army. "I came to Des Moines for the pur pose of showing my hand in this mat ter," he said. "Kelly shall not walk out of the city and the question must be decided within a very short .time. I shall attempt to secure transporta tion without trouble, but if a train cannot be Be cured for money we have more drastic measures at hand." "What will you do if you are re fused a train?" Mr. Sovereign was asked. "I can only repeat," he replied, "that Kelly shall not walk out. The army shall ride though every road in Iowa be tied up. I do not say that the Knights of Labor could take such action of itself, but with the assis tance of the American Railway Union such a move would be successfuL That organization and our own are very close tog-ether. When I left President Debs in St. Paul his last words were that anything we ordered his people would stand by, and I made a similar proposition. "This thing is simply an issue be tween united railroads and organized labor and if we cannot win here, we might as well i stop fighting. The issue is a square one and we will meet it. We are in sympathy with the Coxey and Kelly movements, as it attracts publie attention and invites discussions of the interests we rep-' resent. I am reliably informed that the majority of Kelly's men are mem bers of labor unions, and we will neither let them starve nor walk out of Des Moines." Meetings were held in the opera house yesterday afternoon and last night, at which General Kelly, Gen eral Weaver, Colonel Speed and others spoke, and the paid admission in creased the army's bank account by about $300.

Nothing Seems to Disturb Their Sublime Confidence, That the Wilson Bill Will Speedily Pass. HARMONY IS CERTAIN. Cleveland Won't Object to In come Tax They Say. Wabhixgtoit, May 2. Special. At the close of March everybody agreed that it was the must wonderful Washing ton had ever experienced, with the largest number of warm, beautiful days. At the close of April there was a still moro em phatic agreement that it was the worst April tho oldest inhabitants could remem ber. Thero certainly is an unusually large percentage of sickness both in and out of congress, and the discontented portion cf the Democrats sometimes say nature is pe culiarly unkind to them, as so large a per centage of their majority is on tho sick list, and were it not for their now quorum counting rule they would be at the mercy of the minority. It is a little singular that nearly all the disabled aro Democrats. A Reception to Nellie Grant Sartoris. Despito the sicknesr., the racket about Coxey's cohorts and all the rest of it, the gayeties of the season seein to go right on, and there are feasting and entertaining, marrying and giving in marriage. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris has received all sorts cf attentions and has found that many of tho friends of her girlhood aro still here. At a reception given in her honor by her eld schoolmate, the wife of Surgeon Ma grader, U. S. N., there were present the chief justice and lady, Mrs. Stanley Mat thews, Mrs. Harlan and many others who were friends of the Grants in the olden times. It is noticed that there are rather more popular entertainments in aid of charities than is usual at this season, but only two or three of them wera arranged with special reference to the wants of Cox ey's army. Sublime Confidence. It is quite a pleasure to talk with tho cheerful Democrat's since the party wings got together, or aro supposed to have got together, on the tariff bill and agreed upon its speedy passage. Senator Voorhecs, who at one time was so despondent as to admit that the debate might be prolonged till September, at once resumed his ancient confidence that it will end in J une, while some southern senators now begin to drop hints about setting a day and taking a llnal vote so early as the 0th of May. Of all tho many schemes-suggested for securing harmony on themcome tax, only two seem to have much backing ono that tho tax shall expire in a limited term of years unless made permanent by a subse quent congress, and the other that it shall expire whenever the surplus revenue equals that brought in by this tax. As both fac tions express the most sublime confidence in tho result of an appeal to the people, there really seems no reason why the tax should not be for a specified term and leave t,he question of its continuance to be decided at a subsequent election. Even the Populists admit a friendliness to this scheme, as it never enters their heads to doubt that if the tax be once established the people will never knowingly consent to its abolition. On tho other hand, quite a number of Democrats nearly all those east of Indi ana, in fact declare that the adoption of an income tax will be only the beginning instead of the end of tho light, for those they reprasent Will fight it continuously so long tis it is the law. Xo secret is made of the fact that Mr. Cleveland would like the bill to come to him without the income feature, but lending Democratic senators have been saying fi-eeiy for several days that tho income clause will remain in the bill, and that all disagreements have been arranged and such harmony insured that the bill will get the vote of 44 Democratic senators. Gold Men In Minority. No sooner were appropriations bills so far along that tho end was in easy view than the fight for preference in the com mittee on coinage, weights and measures assumed a very lively phase. After listen ing some time to Mr. Meyer's appeal for his bill to coin the seigniorage and to the advocates of the other proposed bills the committee jumped the whole lot and de cided to make the fight fairly and square ly on Mr. Bland's bill for free coinage. The astonishing fact was that the Meyer bill was laid over till next December with only two dissenting votes, 13 members be ing present, although the committee had received as? urances which might be called direct and personal that the president would sign it. The Democratic members very flatly declared that they were not in the bondmaking business at this stage of the game, and it must bo confessed that they are only obeying the voice of their constituents, for in their renominating conventions so far held the issue was made squarely in favor of free silver. Examina tion of the makeup of this committee shows that, taking silver Republicans and Democrats together, the gold men are in a painful minority indeed. The friends and enemies of tho Nicara gua bill aro gathering for a fray, and see ing that tho contest is certain to be lively and liable to lxs prolonged the house com merce committee has postponed the hear ings for several days, intending to continue them with as little interruption aa possi ble when once begun. There are appar ently four factions in the fight those who want Senator Morgan's bill made a law exactly rs it was introduced into tho sen ate; those who want government aid ex tended to the canal, but pursuant to a bill entirely different from Senator Morgan's; those who are opposed to any government aid whatever, acd finally a small but ap parently able 6et of advocates who want to begin by negotiations with England, wip ing out tho Clay ton-Bulwer treaty entire ly and starting on a new basis. The Xfw JIciico 111. Delegate Joseph of New Mexico is con siderably discouraged over tho prospects of his bill in the house. It was long delayed because there was no quorum to pass it, but when the new rulo for counting a quo rum came in the opponents of the New Mexico bill made the point that it could not come under that rule, as it is pending under a special order mado last December giving it tho right of way during tho sec ond morning hour. This requires a vote by tellers, and the new quorum counting rule does not apply to such a vote. Of course this and every other possible pre tense Is seized on to delay action upon the bill, while the natural slowness of the sen ate is relied upon to prevent the passage of anv of the new state bills there. I. he del egates from the four territories are consid erably discouraged, land where all were certain that all the bills would go through and the territorial system be ended by this congress there is now little hope of any thing till the Fifty-fourth congress. WHAT THE N. P. COST. A. Point Gained is tbe Northern Pacific Investigation. Chicago, May 2.

THE WAY IT IS DONE. How Hixinx With Fruit Aclrtu ill. Tests Food Be To re it is Kvea Taken Into tue Sloath. Natural foods are as a rule insoluble. They must be dissolved before they can be absorbed. Digestion is the dissolving of food in our mouth, stomach and intestines. It is done by special ferments prepared by special organs. A great deal of energy is used up in digestion. Well people can spare tho energy, sick people cannot. Peoplo who have not sufficient energy suffer from in digestion. It is plain that Paskola, which is an artificially digested food, will save a sick person a good deal of energy. Artificial digestion is the dissolving of food outside tue body by the same fer ments that dissolve it inside tho body. Paskola ia a fattening food made of grain and fruit that has been digested in this way. It also aids in the digestion of other food. Sick people need all their energy to get welL They should take Paskola. Thin people spend their energy in business or other cares and worry.- Paskola will make them fat without giving their digestive organs any work. Paskola is an ideal natural fattening food.

Weather Indications. Washisqtojc, May 2. Forecast till 8 p.m. Thursday: For Kansas Gener ally fair, but conditions favorable for local storms this evening; cooler; south' erly, shifting: to westerly, winds. Cleveland spoke from the east por tico of the capitol, why not Coxey? The Washington police did just what everyone expected them to do blunder. The "Goddess of Peace" didn't seem to have much influence outside of her own votaries. Carl Browns simply confused terms instead of reincarnated he doubtless meant incarcerated. The London police hare great success in putting bombs in water after some one else has found them. Congress said it would treat Coxey's men as it would any other people so we may know now what it thinks of all of us. Ax Atchison county editor has named his paper the New Leaf, in the hope, probably, that he will soon be able to turn it over to some one else. The rabble that assembled at Wash ington to see Coxey'a march seems to have been more worthy the title of ho boes than the ragged army itself. Senator Stockbridge's death came at an opportune time for congress. It en abled it to follow, its inclination to ad journ and relieved it of the responsibility. London anarchists got a little taste of their own kind of medicine when their meeting was broken up by a mob of 'peo ple who didn't like what their speakers said. Anarchists strongly disapprove of violence in other people. It would be unfair to blame congress with the ignorance and indiscretion of the commissioners of the District of Col umbia or the blundering brutishness of Washington policemen. They have sins to answer for but not those. If Coxey had assembled his band on the capitol grounds and addressed them the authorities would have been justified by the law in arresting him and his lieu tenants, but as it was, their acticn was un called for, unlawful and transcendantly stupid. Experts have discovered that the air in the house of representatives ia not pure. Something of the kind has been noticeable for some time, but the public has been thinking that perhaps it was too many Breckinridges there. The letter purporting to be written by Mrs. Lease and saying she had been reconciled to Governor Lewelling is al together too kind and gentle and concilia tory In tone to be genuine. A dragoness cannot coo like the dove no matter how hard it try. Coxey's men were instructed by their leaders to break ranks at the steps of the capitol and there is every reason to be lieve they would have done so, but of course the police had to bear out, with their colossal stupidity, all the wild re ports that sensationalists had spread. Secretary o State Osjborn says the flames will shoot Up into the air when the returns begin to come in from the next election. It was fair to presume that the Populists would feel' their defeat keenly but no one thought they would get mad enough to burn everything up. It would be foolish t j suppose that the incident of yesterday at Washington will result In anything serious or terrible; but it is true that what might otherwise have been regarded as a passing whim sy and laughed at, has gained dignified sympathy on account of the dense ignor ance of those having directly to deal with it. One thousand citizens of Oklahoma City had the assurance to protest in mass meeting against the action of Judge Scott In sending editors to jail for con tempt. Judge Scott, of course to be con sistent, must put these people in jail for such outrageous disrespect to the court The number is large bet the people must be taught that the courts are running this country and that all irreverence will be punished. iVT0r COXE T BUT HIS "IDEA." Wherever you go, whether in the of fice, street or shop, you hear sympathy expressed for Coxey and his aims. Why is this? Is it because any sane man en dorses Coxey'a absurd plans for good roads and non-interest bearing bonds? Does anyone expect to see Coxey's fool ish demands granted, or does any sensi ble person desire to see them granted? The answer is, no. Then what is it that accounts for the moral support given Coxeyism by thousands of people In Kan sas and millions of them in the United Btates? Isn't it because the people are tired of the stupidity, the incompetency end the puerility of congress? The peo ple know there is something rotten in Denmark and although they are not agreed as to what it is, they know that it is there and that whatever it is it is very rotten." Coxey's march on Washington Is a visible protest against the laziness, the do-nothingness, the luxurious disso luteness of the eating, drinking and forever talking crowd of incapables that fill the halls of congress. We can not all go to Washington and protest, but when other men band them selves together to go there, even though they are but the "unemployed" and "hoboes," we can not fail to say to them, godspeed, and if you can stir our dally ing law makers into action, by all means do it. In the west this feeling is particularly strong because the majority of the peo ple in the west believe that the hard times have been directly brought on through bad legislation by congress. Every demand made by the eastern moneyed lobbyist has been obeyed; even their slightest wish granted; while the western farmer, the merchant and the mechanic has had no attention paid to his desires. Coxey gives voice to a thou sand forms of discontent. The discon tented do not endorse Coxey particularly, but they are ready to cheer when any body, no matter who,, throws a brick at congress. Is IT possible that we are becoming a nation of cranks? The daily record of bomb throwers, pistol flourishers, money' demanders and "peculiar" people gener afty almost argues that we are. And if we are, what is to be the limit, and where is the cause? Is the native American brain so weak that these things are it.J offspring? It is hardly apparent. No Jones or Smith or Brown ever do these insane things. It is always a Most, a Prendergast or a Guiteau, foreign names, all. Would it not be a good idea to re construct our rather lax immigration laws and stop the breeding of these minds diseased? It certainly would. While his mind is on reforms would it not be a good idea for some councilman to secure the passage of an ordinance in Topeka whereby it would be unlawful for any dog or dogs of whatever age, sex or previous condition of servitude, to bark or howl between the hours' of nine o'clock p. m. and 5 o'clock a. m., whether accompanied by its parents or not? It seems that there Is a crying need for an ordinance of this kind. Every citizen who has bad occasion to read, write or sleep between the hours above named has felt its importance. Let us have an expression. Nothing is of more importance to the west, possibly, than that the science of rain-producing be perfected as rapidly as possible. Nearly every year we are threatened with a drouth and nearly every second year it comes in some lo calities and poverty follows. There is no joke about a crop failure in the west, and if science can arrest the cause we are Sure of abundance every year. Kan sas brains have discovered the means, but South Dakota is the first to act on it as a government. Three counties there have levied a tax of one mill to be de voted o experiments. Tki oare announcement that Mrs. Lease will bury the hatchet and support Governor Lewelling in the coming gu bernatorial campaign will doubtless create a panic. In case the letter un earthed by Mr. A. G. Stacy is authenti cated what have the Republicans left to hope for? For the past year they have been viewing with alarm the possibility that she might "help" them. Lewelling will be renominated and the news that Mrs. Lease will support him will surely put to rest many an anxious fear in a Repub lican bosom. Secretary of State Osborne is a good deal like the balance wheel of an un wound watch, it only takes a little jostle to make it vibrate violently and the flut ter doesn't last long. TAYLOR FOR CONGRESS. He Will Ban Independently If Be Isn't Given a Berth. The cenate will, on Thursday, take up the matter of the con Urination of C. H. J. Taylor as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Senator Martin is reported assaying that if Taylor is not confirmed the place will go to some Kansas man, and named as likely candidates Sidney J. Cook of Herington, John A. Eaton, H. G. Toler and Thomas Fitch of Wichita. Taylor has lately written a letter to a friend ia Kansas City, Kan.,in which he Intimates that he would like to be a can didate for congress in the Second district in case he is not confirmed on Thursday. In this letter he said: "There is no office within their gift of sufficient size for a Wyandotte tlegro politician. If I am rejected, it is likely I will run as an in dependent candidate for congress to represent the Second congressional dis trict of Kansas. I certainly will not accept a smaller place than recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Funston, I understand, wishes very much to have me make the race for congress. He is at the bottom of the opposition here to me." Subscribe for the Daily bTATaJ ouksal. iv Hit ii mi itjj w SUCCESSORS TO WIGGIN, CROSBY Sc CO.

David Haire a W.il-io-Do Stookmaa Boa Over Last StigUU David Haire a wealthy stockman, whose home is at Woodbine, Dickinson county, was struck by a freight train last night and killed instantly, at the little station of Valencia, nine miles west of Topeka on the Rock Island. Mr. Haire was on his way to Kansas City with two car loads of hogs. He was riding in the caboose. When the freight train stopped at Valencia to wait for a west bound freight to pass, Mr. Haire borrowed a lantern from one of the train crew and started towards the center of the train to look at his hogs. He was walking on the side traek along which the west freight was coming at fully 25 miles an hour. Why Mr. Haire should fail to hear the roar of the approaching train, or fail to Bee the glaring head light, nobody knows, for he was a man usually careful and his Bight and hearing were not defective. When the engine struck the unfortunate man he was hurled high into the air and fell sev eral feet from the north side of the track. He died shortly after the trainmen learn ed of the accident and rushed to his as sistance. His death-wound consisted of a great fracture of the skull back of his right ear. Both the left arm and left leg were oroKen, ana the right shoulder was dislocated. The body of Mr. Haire was brought to lopeka on the passenger train which arrived at 5:30 and was taken to Knight's undertaking rooms. H is wife at Wood bine was notified, and M. L. Potter of North Topeka, who is 'an old friend of the family, is in communication with his friends. The remains will probably be taken to Woodbine for burial tomorrow. Mr. Haire was a man 47 or 43 years of age. lie owns a section or valuable bot tom land at Woodbine, where he raisee hogB and cattle on a large scale. He also owns land just outside of Abilene. His estate is estimated at $20,000. Mr. Haire is a regular attendant at the Methodist church at his home. Mr. Haire leaves a wife and three chil dren. As a business man Mr. Haire was shrewd to eccentricity. He would ship a carload or more or cattle to Kansas City .and if the market didn't suit him he would stay at a good hotel and wait until the market came around more to his sat isfaction. No inquest was deemed necessary over the remains, in view of the nature of the accident. No blame is attached to any of the trainmen. The engineer and fire man say they rang the bell and blew the whistle desperately, but to no avail. STRUCxIbY LIGHTNING. The Barn of J) E. Pratt of Waksrota Destroy ed Vt-.tertlay.

The case in which Ernest Dann and Cameron Miller are the defendants and Ida Peterson is the complaining witness, came up before Justice Furry this morn ing at 0 o'clock, and was given another long continuance of about two weeks. Judge Furry granted the continuance on the representation of Deputy County Attorney Urmy that Miss Peterson is un able to appear in court. Mr. Urmy and also the lawyers for the defense, Messrs. Bain, Larimer and Bird, wanted the case continued thirty days, but the young men had already prepared their continuance bonds with a different understanding, and the judge said it could be continued again next time.

STATE JOHRNAIi, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAT 2, 1S94, 5 ARTZ IN THE RANKS. Tho General is Just an Ordinary Private Now. FIRST DRILL OF THE HOME GUARD. Arts Says Thtt Adjottnt enrl Darit Im Oppoe ti Sew Mili tary Movement. Ex-Adjutant General Xrtz is not an of ficer of the "Coxey Home guards." He stood:. in the ranks at the meeting last night and responded to the commands like any good private. He found an op portunity to give his successor at the statehouse a vigorous slap. Capt Hun ter attempted to explain why battery B had refused the use of its hall to the "Guards." He said that the battery was non-political and as this movement had omewhat of a political cast, it was deemed advisable not to allow the use of the battery halL General Artz said: "I think that the battery is a political organization. The majority of the members are opposed to us and we may live long enough to find It out. When there was a political vic tory last year, they took their guns and used them in the ratification and would pay no attention to me and if I had had iny way the battery would have been dis banded then. More than this I believe that the head over and above the battery is opposed to us. i believe that the ad jutant general of the state is opposed to us and will do all he can against us, so we will have to look out in that quarter." In the main,the little crowd that lined up last night for drill in the Populist league rooms, was made up of intelligent look ing men. Many had never had any mili tary drill while others were old soldiers. The orders "right dress" or "right farce" were responded to by all kinds of fan tastic movements but before the adjourn ment the orders were executed with some degree of military precision. Captain E. S. Hunter gave the com mands. For some reason General Artz was dissatisfied and stepped out of the ranks and assumed command, giving the orders in stentorian military voice. After showing the men how the thing should be done he again took his place in the ranks. G. C. Clemens was present but he con tented himself by walking about and contemplating the movements of the 'Guard" not a word escaped him. The first lieutenant, Sx B. Cope, said that he felt very much like he did in 1S6L "I am in favor of organizing se cretely," he said, "like we did then. The biggest coward in the United States now is G rover Cleveland, and he has a master in London and a deputy in Wall street. I think that the time has come for action and that onr differences will be settled at the point of the bayonet." The company adjourned to meet to morrow evening at the Populist league rooms where they will form and march to the court house to attend an indigna tion meeting to protest against the action takeo against the Coxey band at the cap itoL Lieutenant Elder was detailed to secure a flag for the guard for that occa sion.

Cope, boy; Corporal A. Crugar, painter. Second ward, Sergeant G. T. Burgess, mechanic. Third ward, Sergeant A. H. Barnes, painter; Corporal H. W. John Bon, printer. Fourth ward, Sergeant T. M.

Sheriff Burdge and his deputies are watching the various railroad freight yards for cars belonging to the Southern Pacific railway company. When the officer find any cars belong ing to this company they will be attached in the interest of a claim against that road by Sells Rentfrows circus. A suit has been riled in the circuit court in which Sells Rentfrow ask for $2,030 damages against the Southern Pacific for the loss of three cars loaded with wagons and other circus equipments in a wreck on the night of November 25, 1893, between Colmesneil and Houston, Texas. By the terms of the contract the rail road agreed to deliver the cars and pro perty of the circus to the M. K. T. railroad at Houston, but the three cars Bmashed in the wreck were not delivered and the $2,000 abked is the payment for these cars. DOING SOME PATCHING.

All the children of Potwin, and the children's parents turned out last even ing and attended the entertainment given by the children at the school house for the benefit of the school library fund. Potwin now has a good school library, which has been provided by a special tax levy of about $50 a year, being raised' for that purpose. The proceeds of last evening's entertainment will be added to this fund, and new books will be purchased. Two hundred and fifty-eight paid ad missions were collected at the door, which adds $25.80 to the library fund. The two upper rooms' of the school building had been thrown into one for the occasion and a stage was erected at the east end of the two rooms, where the programme of sixteen numbers was given. There are 225 scholars in the Potwin schools and each scholar had a place on the programme, which was arranged and conducted under the management of Principal Miss Elia Nagle and the three teachers, Misses Eva L. Rankin, Kittie Hukel and Mattie Dugan. The first number on the programme was a May song by the school, which was followed by a concert recitation by the girls of the fifth and sixth grades. Then came a concert recitation by the pupils of the Third and Fourth grades and an expression drill by the little peo ple of the primary department. Ethel Lane sang a solo and Torrence Ewart gave a declamation entitled "Liberty and Union." The scholars of the Third and Fourth grades gave a number on the programme which was entitled "Old Fashioned Games." The boys of the Fifth and Sixth grades gave a concert recitation and "The Song of the Dandelion" was very prettily sung by the primary scholars. Edith Gregory gave "The Clown Babv Recitation"and The "Colloquy of Nations'" was presented by the girls of the Seventh and Eighth grades. The athletio part of the programme was given by the boys of the seventh and eighth grades who went through a drill with dumb bells. The Gypsies' festival was followed by a violin solo by Libby Gregory and then came what most of the audience conceded was the best thing on the en tire programme. It was a recitation en titled "Do They Miss Me" by little Bes sie Tincher, aged five. The entertainment closed with "The Fairies' March" by the scholars of the third and fourth grades. COXEY REBUKES DAVIS. The Kansas Congressman Saabs the Ma sl Hon Commonweal Leader. Gen. Coxey has repudiated Congress man John Davis of Kansas, according to a Washington dispatch. On Monday Coxey sent one of his lieu tenants to the house with a resolution which, he asked Davis to present The resolution granted Coxey leave to make a speech from the steps on the east side of the capitor on Tuesday. Davis examined the matter very closely and sent back word that he had better send the resolution to the member who had the honor of representing the district in which Massiilon, O., is located, which is the home of Coxey. Davis insisted that Coxey should deal in this matter with his member of the house. When the reply made by Davis was carried to Coxey he became very angry, and declared that the Kansas Populists in congress were being unduly influenced by the capitol surroundings. He announced that this fact had been shown when one of their "number would not press a resolution of this sort. THE RALLY NOT A BIG ONE. Unexpected. Lack of Attendance at the Temperance Mali fleeting. The thirteenth anniversary of the be ginning of the enforcement of the Kan sas prohibitory law was celebrated last evening at the First Congregational church. The meeting was arranged by a com mittee of the W. C. T. U. and the State Temperance union. The attendance at the meeting was a disappointment to those who expected to see the old fashioned temperance rally as the church was hardly more than one third filled. Rev. J. B. McAfee officiated as chair man and called the meeting to order. After a praj-er had been made by Rev. Mr. Dill, Chairman McAfee introduced the speaker of the evening Rev. Eli IL Brumbaugh of Atchison. Rev. Mr. Brumbaugh is a temperance worker and has lately been "agitating" at Atchison and is trying to close the sa loons of that town. He said he came to Kansas from a high license town of about 60,000 popu lation which, had 140 saloons, and there is more liquor sold in twelve months in that one town than there is in the same length of time in the entire state of Kansas. Continuing he eaid: "I have traveled all over this land from the east to the west, from the north to the south, and I am compelled to say that I have nev er seeu a city with such a splendid condi tion of morals and purity of social life as that existing in Tope k a." The meeting closed after a collection had been taken. COXEYITES TO PROTEST. Toptka Symphatizers to Bold an Indis nalloa M.vting Tomorrow Night. The Coxeyites will hold an indignation meeting at the court house Thursday night. They intend to take action on the action of the police toward Coxey at Washington.

The arrest of Carl Browne and Jacob Coxey in Washington, continues to be the prevailing topio of conversation at the statehouse. Railroad Commissioner W. D. Vincent said: "The arrest of Coxey by the police of ficers of Washington and the indiscrimi nate clubbing of people over the head was not only a mistake, but it was brutal. It is not claimed they were armed with anything more dangerous than tin cups and canteens, and the reports all agree that they were all peaceable and well behaved. Their method of appealing to congress is an innovation but it is no crime. "I do not look upon the movement aa the most effective way of accomplishing results. The right of petition, whether presented in this manner or in the regu lation form should not be denied. The Coxey form of petition has some advan tages over the old styles it cannot be so easily ignored. I have but little faith in petitions. "The unwarranted attack upon the Coxey men will not only 'embitter them, but excite the sympathy of a greater number of people. If they had not been interrupted, they would have done no harm, and in my opinion soon dispersed of their own accord. This brutal treat ment will only tend to increase their numbers and make them desperate." Railroad Commissioner Maxson eaid: "I think it is a serious mistake. I do not think that the men were violating any law. I will reserve judgment until I hear further." Superintendent of Insurance Snider: "It is what I exdebted and I am not sur prised at the action of the police. The fellows there in congress will soon find out that the people are in earnest, how ever." Attorney General Little: "I do not know what to think. It ia pretty hard to make a prediction about the result. I think it was a serious mistake for the men were surely violating no law. The effect will be that it will intensify the feeling among the men." HEW CORPORATIONS. Charters Secured for Corporations for 'Various Purpoaes.

Brown, while awaiting the execution of a death sentence in that prison on the charge of being a Union spy in 1863.

STATE JOUENAL, WEDNESDAY EVEXIN"G, MAY 2. 1894. THE DAISY PATTERN. TJaaful for- a. Groat Variety Household. Nooeesariea. of Hw to Utilise the Ihouud sad Os Scraps mt Maalln, Ctiaasteelotlx stad Othm Ooxla YTMeai Ax Too Ortaa Throwm An;. Effective spreads, pillow shams, scarf ends, pincushion covers and articles of a similar nature, can be made from email pieees of unbleached muslin or cheesecloth, which usually find their way to the family rag-bag. A glance at the accompanying? Illustration will give a general idea of the result achieved. If muslin is used, it should sot be too firm and heavy. A sheer quality will make prettier daisies. Cut from paper a pattern in the shape of a circle, five inches in diameter, using", perhaps, a plain saucer as a guide. Then cut a number of circles from the cloth, turn thi edge of each, and with needle and strong thread gather this outer edge, flatten down the ball thus formed, and secure the gathering1 in the center. To do this take a needle ful of colored floss and make a cluster of stitches crossing1 this center gather ing, to simulate stamens, and the sin gle daisy is completed. When a suffi cient number have been -made, fasten the edges together by sewing upon the wrong side for a distance of about half an inch. The spaces which are thus left between the daises are .to be filled in with unbleached linen thread with the spider stitch which will be famil iar to anyone who has done lace work of any sort. If the stitch is worked from the under side or back of the dai sies, a better opportunity for securing the thread will be given. First catch the threads at the end of one of the places where two daisies are fastened to- CORXKB OF FOLOW 811 AM. ether, draw across to the opposite fastening and catch through, twist the thread back around the first thread to the middle of the space; then catch to the joining of the daisies at one side, twist back to the center and catch across to the remaining1 joining. Con tinue in this manner, catching be tween each thread already described, and twisting back to the center; from the last or eighth space run the thread over and under around the threads where they cross about eight times, or until a sufficiently large center has been formed. Fasten the thread un derneath and twist it out to the start ing point over the thread which has liere, of necessity, been left single. "When these spider stitches have been completed, the body of the article is finished. An appropriate edge may be made of lace, or a plain border may be added by a fold of muslin caught to the edges of the daisies, and a half spider stitch added in the spaces. This will have much the same effect as a hem with drawn work, and while sim ple and inexpensive is, at the same time, a desirable and tasteful finish. The lining should be of the same shade s the floss with which the daisy cen ters are worked. Plain unfigured Eng lish calico makes a good foundation, or if something nicer in .quality, is de sired, use sateen. American Agricul turist. Het for Toon g Children. Concerning the frequency with which meat may properly be given to chil dren, says Dr. Flint, and regarding the time ot day best' suited to its adminis tration opinions d Liter widely. The writer believes, on the basis of his own experience, that children under five years do best with xmly one meat meal per diem, this being best given in the morning1 or at noon. After five years, both the breakfast and the mid day meal may include some meat. An ideal dietetic schedule, however, for most children, would embrace eggs at breakfast, meat at noon, and bread and milk at night, appropriate cereals being supplied with the eggs and meat. All meats for children should be care fully cut into little pieces, and children old enough to. cut their. own meat should be cautioned to make the pieces aa small as possible. Tho Salcctiaa of Colors. Extreme care should be taken in the selection of coloa-s, as many that ap pear warm and lovely in the daytime are quite the reverse by lamp or g"as light. Kspecially is this true of many purples, that are hideous browns under the glare of the gas. Likewise, some pinks become yellow, some blues green. The same rule holds good for evening wear. Many colors are lovely by day, but become dull in gas or lamp light. If yon are purchasing- material, for an evening1 gown, it is well to make the selection in a part of the 6hop arti ficially lighted. Pretty Idlest at a. Dinner., Recently, at a large dinner, the hos tess bit upon a charming plan for introducing-, at the same time, variety of color effect and also all the pleasures of a little party in tete-a-tete, with the g-ayety of a larger company. There were ten small tables, each adorned with a, differently colored flower, while -the same tint was carried out in the idlshea, the candle shades and the little 8 V&&&i7f r )k'&. km) AST if NEWEST DESICNS IN UNDERWEAR.

How a Young Girl's Heart Was Well KI jh Broken. It was afternoon. There was a. slight haze overhead, .tid thef'scurrying cloud3 in the western sky bore their warning of th coming shower to the passersby on the ave nue, who hurried swiftly along, some wit I. their overcoats turned upand others, mor. free and easy, with the hurried air of tlx metropolitan pedestriin. It was not pleasant afternoon in any sense of the wor; and yet to Mildred Twilling, as she pac. rapidly up and down the drawing room o her father's princely mansion on the av nue, it was the gladdest, gayest nfternoci in the whole year, for wu- he not coming? As she stopped to think of what th' meant to her, her heart gave a great throL of joy. Yes, he was coming at last her tall, broad shouldered lover, who had said goodby to her on that terrible night two years ago and had left her to roam in for eign lands, and now now be was coming. She held his letter in her hands, and even as she stood thus, with all the easer joy of anticipation in her beautiful face, a tall and sunburned stranger, with thedistinguished air of one who has traveled much, alighted from a carriage that but a moment before had rolled up to the door, walked slowly up the steps and rang the bell. It needed but a glance to see that Edward Cashmere was not the same impassioned lover that had torn himself away two years before. His face was anxious, perturbed and showed no trace of. the great joy that should have been his. He hesitated a mo ment in the hall, and then, summoning all his resolution, threw open the drawing room door and stood face to face with the woman who had clung to him so passionate ly at parting and whom he had promised, even as he kissed her farewell, to be faith ful to. And now what was he to bring her? Nothing but a record,of broken prom ises, the charred ashes of a dead love. -Eiward," she said, looking up into his face with a searching gaze, as if she would read his very soul, "'have you nothing to say to me? After two long years of wait ing, do you come back to me now only to tell me ah, have I guessed the secret? that your heart is another's?" With a quick gesture of despair he hur ried from her, and burying his face in his hands muttered hoarsely: "Alas! have you so soon learned the truth? Yes.indeed.it is but too true," he went on. "One day while I was traveling through an unfre quented portion of Italy I met by chance a beautiful girl from Plainfield. For nearly a day after that we were thrown almost constantly together. It is the same old story, Mildred, of" "And is she your wife?" she demanded, the color gradually fading away from her face and leaving it quite ghastly in its pal lor. "She is," be replied brokenly. "We wera married -in Paris last month.- But, Mildred, dear," he cried passionately, "do not grieve so. Can it be possible that you still love me so? Oh, tell me that this is not true!" With a piercing cry the young girl threw herself prostrate on the sofa. '"Oh, why did you not tell me this before?" she moan ed. "No, Edward, it is not that I loved you so much, but now I fear that it is too late." "Too late?"' he repeated mechanically. "Why, what can you mean?" 'I mean this," she cried hysterically. "Knowing that you were coming back and believing ypu to be true to me, this morn ing, fool that I was, I sent back four ele gant engagement rings." Tom Masson iu Life. Trepidation. There was about her a poise that cornea only from litigation. She was not born yesterday obviously. "George," he faltered and her rich, mellow voice awakened a responsive thrill in the heart which was pumping blood into the arm about her waist 'Tm afraid to marry you." He was only human. "Why, my darling?" he demanded in sistently. She shaded. -er magnificent eyes with her curved lashes, as she had been taught to do years previous at the boarding school. "Because, George," she murmured, you are the thirteenth, and I am super stitious." Bui in time he convinced her there was really nothing to fear. Detroit Tribune.

This is a fact FAIR STAR GAZERS. San TVancisco Society Girls Flirting- With the Constellations. Astronomy is the latest fad of San 7ranoisco society girls with scientific endencies. The success of Miss Dorothea Klumpke, the California girl who got tho de gree of doctor of mathematics from the Sor boirne in Paris, seems to have ,i .i '''Hf-l- emulative facul ties, and they are going in for as tronomy with an enthusiasm that could not be de- ROSE O'HALLORAN. veloped anywhere else than beneath their own sunny skies. They have the advant age, too, of being able to receive instruc tion from a woman who has gained con siderable reputation as an astronomer -and gained it in spite of obstacles that would have seemed insurmountable to any less courageous spirit. This is Miss Rose O'Halloran, the only woman member of the Astronom ical Society of the Pacific, an honor which was accorded her on the nomina tion of Professor Holden of the great Lick observatory. Miss O'Halloran de votes her life to the scientific study of the stars, doing a great deal of original work and gaining a livelihood by in structing ambitious young women in the rudiments of her favorite science. She has a small 4 inch Brashear re fracting telescope to assist her observa tions, and her observatory is an ordinary room with two windows, one of which has a northern view, and the other an eastern exposure. When Miss O'Hallo ran desires to extend her horizon she moves her telescope out upon the roof of the back kitchen, where she has an unobstructed sweep in three directions. With no better conveniences than these Miss O'Halloran's zeal has accom plished some excellent results. On every favorable day during the past three years she has made observations of the spots on the sun, and she was among the ear liest, if not the very first, to discover the great spot group of January and February, 1892. At night Miss O'Hal loran looks after variable etars in the constellation of the Scorpion, about which she expects" to publish a book some day, though she says it will take years to collect the necessary data. She has already published several notable articles in magazines and scientific jour nals, thereby considerably augmenting her 6lender income. Miss O'Halloran is an Irish woman of gentle birth and received an early ed ucation befitting the daughter of a coun try gentleman without any idea that she would ever have to earn a living. She always felt an especial interest in astronomy and naturally consulted her taste when, after her father's death, she found it necessary to teach for a liveli hood. A. Hard lime.

I iiittle Jennie Creek of this county has been regarded as a heroine ever since she made a danger signal of her little red petticoat last fall and thereby prevented a trainload of passengers bound for the World's fair from plunging into a chasm left by the burning of a railroad bridge. Now that her bravery has been recog nized in f aroff France by the Society of Humanity, which is to present her with a medal as a tribute to her merit, she has become the pride of the county. Jennie Creek is only 10, but bright as she is pretty. She lives with Samuel Personett, her adopted father, at Mill- grove, a small station on the Panhandle railroad five miles east of Hartford City. One day last September the railroad bridge crossing the stream which runs through Mr. Personett's farm caught fire and was destroyed. Little Jennie was the only one at homo at the time and the only one who saw the fire. The west bound passenger train was due, and the girl knew that if it was not stopped a terrible catastrophe would result. So she ran to tho railroad track, and when she reached it sho heard tho roar of the approaching train. Thoroughly fright ened at the threatened danger to the pas sengers, tho little girl yet had tho pres ence of mind to snatch off her red flan nel petticoat and run up the track wav ing the garment aloft, as she had seen brakemen do with their flags. The engineer saw her and at once re versed his engine. The train rushed by Jennie, but stopped within 100 feet of the edge of the stream. The passengers swarmed out of the cars to find how narrow their escape had been, and when they found that they owed their deliverance to the timid lit tle girl, who yet clung to her little petti coat, they almost overpowered her with caresses. They made up a handsome purse for her on the spot, and the Pan handle company a few days later pre sented her with tickets which enabled her and the Personett family to visit the World's fair free of expense. Most of the passengers on the train were bound for Chicago, and it is sup posed that among them were some Frenchmen connected with the Society of Humanity in Paris. .She has been apprised of the society's intention to present her with a medal, and she regards the honor with all the modesty that could be expected of a child of her years. Hartford City (Ind. Letter. No Dirty Hands. When the pupils in the primary room of- the Ogden school assemble, in a pretty little song they say good morning to each other and their teacher. Then another song is sung: Raise your hands if they are clean, By your teacher to be seen. Sparkle, sparkle, clean and pure. Dirty hands we can't endure. And 50 pairs of little hands are held out for inspection. If all are not clean and pure Oh, who comes to our little school They must learn to keep the rule; Wash their face and hands with care. And that's just what the little ones who have been thoughtless go straight way and do. Then Sparkle, sparkle, clean and pure. Dirty hands we can't endure. Chicago Inter Ocean. Frojrressive Drawing;. ''Progressive drawing" is a good game. Each child has a pencil. The leader has a big sheet of foolscap paper. He starts off by drawing a straight line about 2 inches long in the middle of this sheet. The second player draws another line 2 inches long, joining it to the first line at one or other of the two ends. The third player then adds a line of equal length and joins it to the other at any angle to suit himself in the manner that he considers the most funny. By the time four or five lines have been added some ono sees that a queer looking figure is being made, and then the lines are placed at every conceivable angle, each trying to add to the fun. Wonderful creatures are thus created. New York Press. I'm II u ng-ry. There's my Aunt Louie, She never links Only of roses and Panties mid pinks. "A-lioldin 'em up And paintin 'cm line.

By a copy of the Madagascar News, published at Antananarivo, Madagascar, and mailed to the State Journal from Marseilles, it is learned that John L. Waller is going1 to go into business for himself in that far-off land. The item says: "His excellency the prime minis ter and commander-in-chief of Madagas car has just granted to the Hon. John L. Waller, ex-United States consal for Mad agascar, a concession measuring in area fifteen miles square, in the district of Fort Dauphin on the south-east coast and which is conceded to. be one' of the richest rubber districts in the island. "The discovery of rubber in this dis trict is of recent date; the article is of excellent quality and is found in large quantities throughout the district. "The district also contains very valu able timbers such as ebony, mahogany, rosewood, teak, etc., and is admirably adapted te the cultivation of tea, coffee, vanilla, sugar, etc "Mr. Waller informs U3 that he will stop the destruction of the rubber trees and vines by the natives so far as his concession is concerned and preserve the product by having the milk extracted in a scientific manner. "He will also enter largely into the cultivation of rubber upon his concession. "This intention of Mr. Waller's Is a step in the right direction and will add immensely to the value of the con cession; wluch is by far the largest and most important surface concession ever granted in Madagascar and we congrat ulate Mr. Waller upon his success." SIMPS0X AGAIN TERY LOW. The Chances for the Kansas Congress man Against Recovery. Washington, May 2. A threatening change for the worse occurred last night in the condition of Congressman Jerry Simpson of Kansas. He passed a trou bled night and this morning, now almost reducen to a skeleton, he was again in a critical condition. Mr. Baker of Kansas, who saw him for a few minutes, said: "I don't see how he can live. I would not be surprised to hear of his death at any moment. Ilia kidneys do not discharge their functions and appear to be sloughing away. No man can have any conception of the pain he suffered every fifteen or twenty min utes when the paroxysms of torture seem irregularly to come on. I do not think he can possibly get well."

ERBERT Hilton "stood concealed behind a flower ing bush upon ft&SZZ'-fm, tr and watch- Z. -1 rl with anirrv face as Roy Dal las and his sweetheart, Kit tie Minfcurn, stepped gayly into their little craft and rowed away across the water. After they had turned an abrupt angle in the bank, disappearing en tirely from hisr signet,,, he bit ids lip more viciously than ever and spring ing into his own boat, took up the oars as if intending to follow them, but after another moment of reflec tion the oars were allowed to rest a little in their places while his .brow took on a darker, frown and. his face grew rigid with a fierce determina tion.. To know that this woman lie loved preferred R.oy Dallas to himself was maddening enough, but to be obliged to witness their perfect happiness was almost unbearable torture, and un accustomed as he was to disa ppoint ment, even in his slightest wishes, the utter helplessness of his efforts to win the fair girl's love goaded him almost to the fury of desperation. And right here ou the wate a plan to end it suddenly occurred to him: If he could not love her, Roy Dallas should not, and with this malicions conclusion in his mind, he seized the oars again, and with rapid but almost noiseless strokes, glided swiftly after the lovers. Roy Dallas moored his boat at one of the most beautiful islands in the bay an island not half a mile long, but densely wooded with cool, green trees, and noted far and near for its variety of flowers and the pleasing freshness of its mosses. Then help ing Kittle to alight, they started, hand in hand, each with a basket, to gather whatever of nature's treasures pleased them best, and just as their forms disappeared within the shadow of the grove, Herbert Hilton's boat shot suddenly around the curve; then pausing, seemed to scan the situation. There hadjbeen no rains for many days and the flowers were beginning to droop a little, but happy in her lover's presence, Kitty roamed about among the trees, and before they fairly knew it they were in the thick est of the grove, and the afternoon shadows deepened by ihe darkness of the wood, fell about them, and warned them to retrace their steps if they would reach the mainland in time for an early dinner. Roy Dallas reached out playfully to snatch a flower from Kitty's hand, when suddenly his eye caught a vivid glare of something far off among the bushes, something that almost made his blood run cold, for as he gazed a moment with a cautious, anxious stare, a thin, red streak of flame ran rapidly up the trunk of a distant tree, splitting and spreading among the branches until, with an ominous hiss ing, crackling sound, the leaves burst out in a sudden blaze and the wind, now blowing freshly toward the bay, caught it and carried it along with almost lightning-like rapidity. Seizing Kittie by the arm, he said as calmly as possible, "We must hurry, darling see? The woods are all on fire," and Kittie, fearless as himself, took one swift look in the direc tion of the blaze, then dropped the basket of treasures she had plucked and with Roy's hand to guide and aid her, ran fleetly as possible across'the moss and in between the trees and bushes. It was a terrible race, for the fire was gaining at every step and the wind seemed blowing harder and rOVKT BT A PARTT FROM THE MAINLAND. harder and, panting now with fear and weariness, poor Kittie stumbled and nearly fell across some straggling branches. Lifting her bodily in his arms, Roy Dallas rushed onward toward- the shore, the smoke following in great volumes in his wake and even sweep ing by him in clouds as he stumbled along at breakneck speed and when, with the hot breath of the fire beat ing full upon his back, he at last reached the water's edge, he was horrified to find that his boat was gone, and with it, he, for one sicken ing second, firmly believed, his only chance of saving Kittie from a watery if not a fiery death.. Without a moment's hesitation he plunged into the bay, drenching the woman that he Idved to the very ears, but carefully holding her head above water and shielding it from the clouds of smoke and embers as -best he could with his own broad shoulders. Only a short half hour sufficed for the flames to sweep along, leaving a bare, burned tract behind where once .mtl were beds of flowers and mosses, and tlmost exhausted, Roy Dallas crept ashore and laid poor Kittie down on the blackened ground. It had been a fierce experience, but the worst was yet to come, for with the drenching ftnd the fright there was every chance of a serious illness for his loved one, but how was he to get her home from this now barren island without a boat tnd with two good miles of shining water between her and her father's home. The question was a difficult ow, and one that Kitty, with all her woman's ingenuity, was hardly able to answer. At last they sensibly decided that Inaction would not do, and slowly and carefully they made their way along the very edge of the water in an attempt to explore the entire island, to find, if possible, some stranded craft that might be baled and caulked with withered moss sufficient ly to enable them to risk the home ward journey. The fire still raged at one extremity of the island, but at the other the blackened and dismantled trees stood out like skeletons among smoulder ing underbrush and fallen branches. Suddenly Kittie exclaimed with a happy laugh, "See, dearest! There is Herbert Hilton's boat! How strange it should be here without its owner," and the face, at first illuminated with a happy smile, was suddenly shaded by an anxious look of terror. "It is strange," Roy Dallas answered her a little soberly, as the thought flashed through his mind also that Hilton might have been either per petrator or victim of the sudden con flagration, but without hesitation he seized the painter and drawing the boat up closely to the shore lifted Kittie in before even he glanced about to see if any one was near him. While her lover held the boat as steadily as possible, Jvittie made her way carefully to the stern but before she had fairly reached her seat the sound of a blow fell upon her ear, and turning, she was just in time to see her lover fall head-foremost on the ground, when Herbert Hilton cut the dangling rope and springing in pushed the frail craft far out into the water. Kittie shrieked aloud in agony as she saw her lover fall, but the man who held the oars stood threateningly before her and, grasping her wrists firmly in his hands, he muttered fiercely between his teeth, "Be still, Miss Minturn, if you would save your own sweet life! I saw you when you started for this afternoon's excursion and have followed solely to secure re- vcugc lur 111c misery jruu iiavv uiuu(jub upon me. "I loved you once and offered you my heart and hand, which, as you re member, was refused by you with ab solute indifference. j "Now I will have my turn! I will denounce you in the village and swear that the blow I struck your lover was solely to defend your weakening hon or! I will swear he cut his boat adrift i for the purpose of keeping you here all night, and your fair name will be smirched forever, unless" but Kittie had endured enough without waiting for his villainous conditions. With one sharp wrench she tore her hands from his' and threw herself across the boat in a wild attempt to see her lover, and Herbert Hilton, moving quickly to preserve the bal ance of the little craft, stumbled and fell clumsily ahead and in another moment was floundering in the water. Quick as thought Kittie seized the oars ana pulled madly for the shore, and Hilton, recovering from the shock, struck out boldly as possible as he started after her in fierce pursuit. The race was short, but what would be the ending? Kittie turned her head and saw her lover still lying helpless on the sand. He could not defend hfer from this angry man, and she gave a quick, despairing glance in the direc tion of the swimmer. Another minute and he would reach the boat, for Kittie was unskilled at the oars, but even as she felt her strength give way, a great, black ob ject rose upon the water immediately behind the struggling man and, drop ping her oars with a warning shriek, the poor girl fainted at this added hor ror. A moment later the bay was tinged with blood where Herbert Hilton dis appeared beneath the glassy water Wind and tide alone drove Kittie's boat upon the shore and grounded it beside her injured lover, and when, a half hour later, a party from the' mainland, attracted by the smoke and fire, came suddenly upon them from the bay, it required much vigorous skill and action on their part to re store either Roy or Kittie to their reason. A few days later some one rowing by the place discovered Herbert Hil ton's body lying on the beach, and when approached the awful fact was revealed that both his legs had been devoured by a shark, but no one ever j knew the entire circumstance of his i death; for Roy and Kittie, shuddering at his fate, decided he should rest in peace after so fierce a retribution. How Tolstoi FublLhes. Count Tolstoi has repeated his pub lic declaration that he does not give any one the exclusive or even the preferential right of publishing his works and translating from them. "I offer it indiscriminately," he saj's, "to all those publishers who find the pub lication of my works or their transla tion desirable." This statement is called out by the fact that he often receives requests for an exclusive right of publication, and that certain foreign publishers ascribe to them selves this exceptional right and con test it with others.

WHERE THE CASH GOES Mr. Ady Has Quite a Pull for Money ON UNCLE SAM WHICH HE'S WORKING imisently The System or "Contests" Allowed by Coneret Which Bleeds the People. Joseph W. Ady, late United States dis trict attorney and candidate for the United States senate, who is now con testing the seat of Senator John Martin, is not making' the contest entirely for his health. Under the rules in such contest cases the person contesting the seat of a mem ber of congress either in the senate or the house, receives the regular pay of a senator or congressman, as the case may be while his contest case is pending. In addition to drawing his $5,000 sal ary as a contesting United States senator, Mr. Ady is allowed an extra 2,000 out of the pocket of Uucle SaL with which to prosecute his claim to the Beat occu pied by Senator Martin. Mr. Ady, it is also announced, now has brought suit against the government for attorneys fees amounting to something over $700 for services performed while he was United States district attorney, but for which he says he did not receive auy fees. The contest of II. L. Moore, of Law rence, for the seat in the house occupied by Farmer Funston comes under the same rule. The congressional contest committees are in a measure responsible for these contest cases costing bo much money, as they by their inaction allow the contests to go unsettled until about the time con gress is ready to adjourn, thereby giving the men filing the contests the salary of regular members. But who cares? It all comes out of the people's pockets and the people never protest at least not until Mr. Coxey started the fashion. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. CITY VITAL STATISTICS.

BI CHEMICALS AND ELECTRICITY Be Snfceedi in ataklns; Showers Experimenti to Be Mad in the Past Handle. "Yes Bir," said Rainmaker (as he pre fers it, Rain Producer) C. B. Jewell as he settled comfortably back into a big chair at the Rock Island offices; "a large per cent of the public has an entirely erroneous idea of this rain producing business. They expect too much at first and are too ready and glad to laugh if one of our experiments does not come quite up to' their expectation. The sci ence of rain producing is yet in its baby hood. The artificial rainmaking business has given birth to many pretenders who go to a town and agree for, say $800 to bring rain. If there is no rain they are out nothing; if it happens to rain they are $800 better off. Often these men do nothing further than lock np a room and claim their 'work' is being done in that. t"The fact that of thirty -three trials last summer we had but one disappoint ment, and that a very Blight one. should prove that we are not working entirely in the dark. The skeptics say it would have rained anyway but you will notice that it always very kindly rained just at that time we expected it too and at no other. "During this season we shall invade the Panhandle country where none of the so-called rain makers have yet dared to tread. If we are successful there we shall consider our battle as good as won." "How do you produce rain?" asked the reporter. 'Well, that is our secret, In the first place one must have a thorough know ledge of electricity, chemistry and at mospheric conditions that different alti tudes are subject to at different times. Exactly the same process used at an ele vation of 2,500 would not do at 3,000. We use only 24 volts of electricity, but just hpw, I do not care to say. The gases are made inside the car from metals and acids made expressly for us. Through the top of the car are three pipes and through these the gases are released, rising of their own buoyancy. We do not decompose metals as many suppose. .The same process that will produce electricity will produce rain, when the conditions are right, A thor ough knowledge of storm centers, air currents and the changes the atmosphere is here to is certainly necessary. We must work with nature and her laws. 'I believe cyclones will 3'et become otedient to man through these very laws and theories. And why not? If we can get rain before the wind strikes us that settles your cyclone." "How did you happen to stumble on to this thing?" "Well, when I was the Rock Island train dispatcher at Goodland two years ago, Mr. Melbourne came there and be gan his experiments. He pinned his faith to chemistry alone, and was not entirely successful. Being an electri ciau, I concluded I could improve on Air.' Melbourne's idea, and so started to work. As I know nothing about chemistry, I associated with me an excellent chemist, Dr. F. H. Smith of Goodland. I got per mission from the company to go to work, and together he and I have solved the problem. We know now that we have the right thing, and we will soon be de livering rain to order at any part of the country. Dr. Smith, however, is not with me now." SHOPS AND OFFICES.

John Ash has returned to work in the Santa Fe shops, after a protracted lay off on account of illness. Twenty four miles of Fred Close's North South railroad in Texas has been graded, and it is said will soon be ready for the rails. The Santa Fe today sends out a train of fifteen cars of export flour, the pro duct of Topeka mills. The flour i3 con signed to London and will go by rail and lake to New York city. Mrs. Mudge, wife of Superintendent Mudge of the Santa Fe, left today for a trip to Colorado Springs. Rev. F. M. Porch of the Lutheran church will fcddre3s the noon meeting at the Santa Fe shops tomorrow. The Santa Fe has accepted the one fare for the round trip rate to the irriga tion convention at Dodge City Alay 26. There are now in the Santa Fe repair yards about sixty flat cars undergoing re pairs. A car of Sells Rentfrow's circus train broke down at Reading last night and the Santa Fe has sent a man out to fix it up. A party of Santa Fe shop boys started to Silver Lake to fish one day last week. Of course they took some refreshments along, and of course the party with the refreshments got lost from the rest of the boys. Another feature of the story, which is-not true of course, was that the other fellows had the faucet. Hereafter the boys will either keep their articles of re juvenation together or not get lo3t. A new brick platform is being laid at the west side of the Santa Fe passenger depot. John Godfrey has returned to work in the Santa Fe offices, after a month's lay off, because of a felon. Mrs. T. P.

From all reports it seems the union meeting of Santa Fe conductors and trainmen at Newton to discuss the aboli tion of seniority was a very warm one. Forty or forty- hve delegates were pres ent, and several able speeches were made for and against the resolution, but many of those present were compelled to leave before the vote was taken, and only thirty-two responded to the roll call. Of these, eight were for the abolition of the seniority rule on the Santa Fe and twenty-four against it, so the proposed resolution went down. Before the -meeting closed nearly everyone present was won over to seni ority's side, although a few still combat it. This probably ends the fight against seniority on this road. Among those representing Topeka at this meeting were Conductors R. J. Sloat, T. R. Motter, Richard Wilson and Brakeman Sam Lock hart. It Was Named Slay. In the district court yesterday after noon, in fixing the amount of alimony to be allowed in the divorce case of Ophe lia Simpson vs. Robert Simpson, Judge liazen announced that he could not pro ceed with the case because one of the children had never been named. J. G. Waters, one of the attorneys in the case, suggested that as it was May day the child could be called May. Judge Ha zen agreed, and the child was named by the court.
