A COAT OF WHITEWASH Applied to Superintendent Httchcoclc by tbe State Board of Charities. The state board of charities (excepting Mra. Lease) today announced their deci sion in the examination of Superinten dent Hitchcock of the state reform school. K Whereasj a complaint was upon the 13th day of April, 18J4, filed with Gov. L D. Lewelling ugains iSuperintendent Hitchcock of the reform school, and was by the governor referred to our board for investigation. Said complaint was duly verified and signed by D. T. Jones aud E. W. J ustus. The board on the 23d of April pro ceeded to examine into the charges after due notice to all parties interested. The complainants were represented by their attorney Noah Allen aud Superintendent Hitchcock by his attorney, John Madden of Emporia and Senator .11. B. Kelley of Lawrence. The examination continued until May 4th and a fair and full investigation was had. After hearing all the evidence on each side and arguments of counsel, the board do find as follows, to-wit: That that the charges of inattention to his duties, misconduct and inelficiency against Supt E. C. Hitchcock of the State Reform school, are not sustained by the evidence. M. A.- Householder, Chairman. N. M. Hisshaw, Secretary. W. S. Wait, Treasurer. Walter N. Allen. State Board of Charities. Noah Allen closed his argument at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the board met after supper aud decided to retain Hitchcock as superintendent Noah Alien was seen by a Journal re porter. "What do you think of the decision. Mr. Alien?" he asked. "Well, it is no more than I expected," replied Mr. Allen, "but they will hear from me again in the matter. 1 intend to pour hot shot into them all along the line." His plans as yet are not made public. It is understood that he will deuiaud an iuyestigatioubxth governor, though nut. expecting to get one. In regard to this he said: "I hardly think it would do any good, for, from the fact of the governor's not. paying any attention to a letter I sent him asking that the superintendent be re lieved from office pending the investiga tion, and not even dignifying it with so much as an answer, J do not think I could get fair treatment." Mrs. Lease says that she declined to vote because she had not heard the evi dence. The board however, attempted to use her name which she says she ex pressly forbid. IT ISN'T SO. According to Mr. Ally' Statement He Gets No Mourjr From Uucle S-i Hi. Mr. J. W. Ady in regard to the published statement that he has been drawing the salary of a United States senator while his contest case is pendiug in the senate says: "There is no rule or statute entitling the contestant for a seat' in the United States senate to a salary of $5,000, or any other amount. Such a contestant is not even entitled to the privileges of the floor of the senate. Neither has there been any allowance of $2,000 or an other amount to me for prosecuting this case. 1 have thus far paid every dollar of ex pense connected with the s imo out of my own pocket It is, I believe, the cus tom of the senate when contests are closed to make an allowance sufficient to cover expeuses of contest which were deemed of sufficient importance to re ceive the recognition of the senate." A leading Republican politician who resides in the Second district a;id who is interested in the Moore-Funston case was the authority foi the statements in the article published on this subject TO BECOME DIPLOMATS.

THIS YEAR'S WORLD'S FAIR The Antwerp Exhibition Opened today by King Leopold. Antwerp, May 5. King Leopold, ac companied by the queen of Belgium, the princess of the Royal family the coun tess of Flanders, prince Von Ilohenzol lern, the cabinet minister and a host of prominent persons, opened the world's exhibition here today, with appropriate ceremonies. There were over 33,000 people present Banks Rain S337.()oO in Gold. New Yohk, May 5. The banks now hold $S2,S0S, 150 in excess of the re quirements of the 25 per cent rule.

BreckinridfjeAppearsBefore His Constituents. Thousands Throng to Lexington to See Him. MAKES HIS DEFENSE- Recounts Particulars of His Legislative Work. Attempts to Excuse His Hypo; crisy and Secret Sin. Lexington, Ky., May 5. The recep tion to be tendered to Colonel W. C. P Breckinridge at the opera house today, is the one absorbing topic of conversa tion. Several hundred friends of tte congressman from other parts of the dis trict arrived on the early trains tnis morning, and the town presents an ap pearance of unusual bustle. The event to night, which has been arranged by some of his personal and political friends, will partake largely of the nature of a public reception, but "his address in reply will be virtually the opening of his campaigu for re-election to congress, and will deal almost entirely with the political issues of the district If he makes any allusion whatever to the recent trial it will be ti take the ground that his per sonal shortcomings should not be charged against his public record or against the years of indefatigable service he has rendered both to his district and to the country at large from his seat" in congress. It is thought by Col. Breckinridge's friends that before his personal campaign is far advanced the opposition to his reuomina-. tion by members of his own party will give way before his magnetism, aud the charm of his oratory. Lexington is crowded with the parti sans of Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge who have gathered from all over the Ashland district to give the opening of his can vass for renomiuation a greater spectac-. ular send off at his own home. The meeting is at the opera house at 2 o'clock and preparations have been made to seat 2,00 J. Many of those who will attend are opposed to the renomina tiou of the late defendant at Washington but it is expected there will not be any hostile demonstration. llrsckinridffj's Addret. Colonel Breckinridge's speech was maiuly devoted to a review ot his career in congress, beginning with the first elec tion of Cleveland, and he pointed -out that no man in the Democratic party had taken more advanced ground ou the tariff question or done more to unify the party on economic measures. He replied to the claims of his oppo nents that he is a flowery orator, but not a practical statesman, by reciting with great particularity his labor on commit tees and ou the floor of congress. The concluding portion of his speech was devoted to the scandal and the oppo sition to hi3- nomination on mora! grounds. He denounced and defied those who are assailing him in the news papers and says he will vindicate himself to his devoted friends and confound those who seek to betray his usefulness. This personal address differed from other published utterances since the trial iu one important feature. Responding to the charge of hypocrisy in taking a leading part in religious and moral movements, whilg living a double life, -he says he was all this time making atouement for a secret sin which he dared not coufes3 and doing everything in his power to keep others from follow ing in his footsteps. AFTER THECollPANIES. Superintendent Snider Make Some Seri ous Charge Against Life Insurance Com panies. Superintendent of Insurance Snider has completed recommendations to the state legislature for changes in insurance laws. lie is very severe in his denuncia tion of the old line life insurance com panies and will recommend the enactment of strict regulations for agents and offi cers of the companies. He says that the publication of annual statements is often made which in no sense are similar to the reports fiied in this or the other state departments and this is apparently done purposely to mis lead the people. He says complaints of misrepresenta tion have been general and will ask the legislature to take action to prevent mis statements by the companies. A BANK TAX DECISION The Supremo Court Acts on the Cloud County Case. The supreme court today reversed the decision of the Cloud county district court in. granting an injunction against the collection of bank taxes. The Citi zens national bank of Concordia secured an injunction against the collection of taxes by the county clerk on the j ground that the indebtedness of the 1 UHUa OfcAVlA.v UCUULCU 1 1 UHt lilt? value of the stock and only the differ ence be subject to taxation. The court holds that all money of whatever char acter, corporate stocks and moneyed capital of every description are 'subject to taxation without deduction for in debtedness. There was another case of the same character from Concordia and another from Garnett. National Coal Sliners' Convention. Columbus, O., May 5. John McBride, president of the United Mine Workers of America, today issued a call to the or ganization, and those affiliated with it, to send one delegate to each 5l0 members to a national convention to be held in Cleveland, O., at 10 a. in., .Monday, May 14, preparatory to meeting in joint ses sion with the coal operators from all states the following day. Good work done by the Peerless, MR. HARRISON'S LIQUOR. Students at Stanford University Object to Paying for Wine He Drank. .San Francisco. May 5. Ex-President Harrison left trouble behind him at the Stanford university. The student body is full of woe. The professors are dis turbed. The servants are under sus picion. All this was not caused by the ex president's lectures on international and constitutional law, but the liquor which he drank and did not drink while quar tered at the college. But it was not so much the drinking which General Harrison did at Palo Alto, as that which he hoped to do but did not, which brought woe into Encina halL Whea the ex-president came to the university loudly heralded and warm ly welcomed he was assigned to quarter in Encina halL Encina hall is a sort of boarding house, with rules and regulations and a guar antee fund made up of an assessment of if 1 levied upon each boarder. The guaran tee fund is for the purpose of providing for the payment of furniture broken by any of the boarders. One of the strictest rules governing Encina hall is that un der no circumstances shall liquors or cigars be taken into the building, and the students were at once informed that they would be justified in throwing out t of the window auy one breaking it. .But ex-President Harrison, not being a prohibitionist, broke the rule and, be ing a large person, politically consid ered, was not thrown out of the window. It is said that Mrs. Stanford herself sent him some rare wines aud choice liquors. He also provided himself liberally with other wines and liquors and also some choice cigars by the ordinary means of bargain and sale. But somewhere iu Encina hall there is at least one person not a respector of the liquid rights of ex-presidents, who are also professors of constitutional law. Some one stole part of Gen. Harrison's liquor and a portion of his cigars. Now an effort is being made to force the stu dents of Encina hall to pay for that sto len tipple which was valued at $35 and therein lies all the trouble. That ex-President Harrison should not suffer in purse he was reimbursed and the students of Encina hall were taxed to make good the amount. But the students did not suffer and they have not learned how subline a thing it is to Buffer and be strong," so they kicked. The money was to be taken from that guarantee which they had de posited to insure the repairs of furniture, whisky not being furniture unless in in ternational law. They could not see just the connection of "their fund a;id the liquor brought against the law of the hall. They are loud In their protest the college paper has taken up the fight and peace is afar off.. THE PLASTERING FELL. A Panio at the Woman Suffrage Meeting Lhi N ijjlit. Kansas City, May 5. At the equal -waffrage rally last evening, just as Rev. "Miss Anna Shaw was closing her address, a section of plastering- about 20 feet square, near the rear of the room, fell with a great rasping, creaking noise that caused a number of shrieks. There were a score or more of the people bruised, but none of them seriously. As the plastering broke loose someone shouted: "The roof is falling!" and an other one cried "Fire!" Everyone was on their feet in an instant aud the audience was for a moment panic stricken and a rush for the door began. Miss Shaw was equal to the occasion. Above the din was heard her rich, pow erful voice commanding the people to sit down; that no one was in danger ana no one hurt. It had a quieting effect, and as the audience turned once more toward the platform Mrs. Laura M. Johns, state president, stepped to the front and in a few words calmed the excitement.

TO OPERATE LINES OF RUST The Sapreiho Court Daeides Xeed Not Be l4ue. That Xt The supreme court today handed down a decision denying a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel the Dodge City, Montezuma fc Trinidad railway com pany to replace its track and operate its road. The road is twenty-six miles long, extending from Dodge City to Montezu ma. It ha3 never paid expenses, and the road has been partially torn up and the road abandoned. The Rock Island for a time operated the road, but finding it would not pay operating expenses they abandoned it. The promoter of the road, A. T. Soule, expended over $200,000 in building the road, but it was never operated under the original management. Soule wasted piles of money iu western Kansas. Try In r to Beat Xelly lily. Winnipeg.

MOVED TO DISMISS CASE But the Judge Overruled the Motion. Progress of the Cither. Coxey Detachments. Washington. D. C. May 6. There was a falling off in the attendance of con gressmen in the trial of commonweal leaders, which was resumed in Judge Miller's police court today. Representa tive Sibley, of Pennsylvania, had a seat within the bar. After Officer Law, of the police force, had told him Browne and Coxey ran across the grass of the shrubbery and were arrested,-James II. Forsythe, a clerk in the district sur veyor's office, tried to point, out upon a map of the city where the capitol grounds lie, but the attorneys for the de fense made objection that it was not competent. After considerable argument he was permitted to state what, upon hearsay, he thought were the boundaries of the ground. Judge Miller recalled Officer Law and asked him several questions. Representative Pence arose and cre ated something of a sensation by declar ing that it was evident the court was en deavoring to help the prosecuting officers out of a hole from which they had shown absolute incapacity to lift themselves. "Can you show any impropriety iu the questions?' asked the judge. "I can object that the questions are absolutely improper and misleading," responded ?iir. Pence. Judge Miller responded with consider able show of warmth that it was his privilege aud sworn duty to elicit all the facts in the matter. Mr. Pence asked some questions of the officer, and it was shown that although he was recorded as the complainant in the case, he had not entered any com plaint, lie could not tell how it hap pened that charges of disorderly conduct and assault had been entered against Browne and afterwards withdrawn. The officer denied that Browne had been clubbed, arid when he was asked whether Browne had not beeu roughly used, the judge said that was not iu the ca-je. .v.-. Several members of the police force testified to the events preceding the ar rest of the three defendants, aud the prosecution having closed, Congressman Pence moved to have the case dismissed on the ground of insufficient evidence. Judge Miller overruled the motion, and to give the lawyers for the defense an opportunity to consult, he adjourned the court until Monday. WHAT X1IE COXtVlTES COST. 3Iovement In Northwest Co- tit the Gor ernment $1,000 a liny. Washington, May 5. The Coxey movement in the northwest is already putting the government to heavy ex pense. The treasury department has submitted to the house an estimate of a prospective deficiency of $50,00',) for fees and expenses of United Staler marshals. In asking the treasury department to submit the deficiency appropriation asked to congresa, Attorney General Olney says: "At present an extraordinary kind of expenses arises from bodies of restless men in various sections of the country seizing upon property in the custody of the United States courts. Authorized expenses are already going on in Washington at the rate of $1,00J per day; an indefinite amount of expen ses has been incurred and is growing in Montana and other expenses may be ex pected for which provisions should be made. "It is better to have an appropriation ready to meet these current expenses than to make appropriation for the amount after the expeuses have been in curred, because, with money on hand, the marshals can secure more- readily the services of faithful posses for the protection of property; assistance in such cases might be of little value, if those employed to assist were not assured of speedy payment. 'You are notified of the probably ne cessity of this appropriation, that action may be taken by congresa in due time. COHHONWEALEKS KEf'UE WOUK. Coxey favored Performing- the Labor but itrowne Objected. Washington, May 5 An enterprising real estate man here has offered to set the Coxeyites at work. He has a tract of land about three and a -half miles dis tant from the city, which he desires to have cleared of under brush and made ready for sub-division. It is a pretty spot and much healthier than tbe sewer mouth camp now occu pied by the Coxeyitea. The owner, Dr. G. P. Gehring, offered to let the army camp on that tract and to pay them $50 J if they would clear the ground. The "proPsition struck Coxey favor ably, but Browne was unwilling to move the camp so far from the city and the of fer was rejected. Coxsyltes Hoard a Train. St. Cloud, Minn., May 5. Forty Cox eyites boarded Conductor Stufevant's freight at Barnesville today and re .mained there regardless of the efforts of the crew to dislodge them. The train came east with the contingent aboard as far as Fergus Falls, where Stutevant is holding his train awaiting orders. "Symantha at the World's Fair" next Friday evening at the First M.

Sprint trade is finished, and orders for fall delivery, with few exceptions, are not meeting' expecta tions. Jobbers in leading- lines at all the larger cities report sales almost without exception as of a hand-to-mouth description. The extension of the coal and coke strike, accompan ied by riots at Cleveland and Mesaba, has emphasized the depres sion. The industrial situation, there fore, has not improved. Strikes of iron ore miners, among- building trades, with an extension of the coal miners' stride, and the almost total cessation .of operations in the coke regions, have swelied the total num ber of idle industrial workers to fully 213,000. Shut-downs of industrial concerns dependent on coke or soft coal for fuel, are increasing, notwith standing an attempt of coal operatives to get together to arrange a basis of settlement. "The prices of I ndian corn.oats, cot ton, coffee and refined 6ugar are low er, and wool, and soma varieties of woolens and cotton goods, heavy, with a marked tendency of quotations to weaken. Wheat scored its fifth or sixth lowest price on record during the crop year, 6QXc, at New York. "The uuet encouraging sign is the marked decrease in liabilities of firms failing, which were only SI, 448, Hi for the last week of April, and for four weeks, $3,7s3,T03, of which $3,732,220 were of manufacturers and $4,044,387 of trading concerns. The amount of liabilities at the South were S3, y 19,419, against 93,111.032 in Eastern and $-',692,257 in Western states. The failures this week have been 233 in the United States, against 216 last year, and 35 in Canada, against 27 last year." Clearing House Returns. JTkw York, May 5.

Gratz, Austria, May 5. The party of eight tourists who were imprisoned by a sudden rise of water while ex ploring a s talactite cavern at Souraich, near this city, on Saturday last, have not yet been rescued, and all hope of saving the imprisoned people has nearly been abandoned. The renewed floods have prevented the rescuers from approaching the spot where the tourists are supposed to be. A diver 'made daring attempts to reach the people, and on each occasion was pulled out in a senseless condition. 1 To Ljnch a United States Marshal. IhTLcrTH, Minn., May 5. Marshal Free tried to supresa a disturbance among some striking miners at Mount Iron last evening, when Mat Matson threatened him with a revolver.

Congressmen Hate to Give Up the Money Taken from Salaries for Bein Absent. NEW THING FOR THEM. Reductions are Small but They Don't Like It. Washington, May 5. Congressional salaries for the month of April be came due yesterday, so members had their first experience with the new procedure of "docking" for ab senteeism. Up to Thursday night 213 members had filed their certificates showing the number of days, if any, they "had been absent. Yesterday about fifty more certificates were put in. leaving about 100 unaccounted for. In the certificates thus far received six days is the greatest number of absent days admitted by any member. The "dockage" for this, at 813-C9 and 8 mills per day, is $82.19. The great majority of the members certify that they have not been absent at all, and the most of those who certify absence limit the period to one or two days. At this rate the total eductions will be small. The congressmen are showing much uneasiness in making out the certifi cates, as there is nothing beyond their word of honor to show "how many days they have been absent. They feel reluctant to surrender a part of their salary and yet are bound in honor to report the days for which deduction should be made. Some of the certificates were written over on both sides, with apologies and excuses for absence, members hoping" in that way to secure their full pay and yet admit absence. The serjeant-at-arms notes only the specific statements of absence and does not attempt to pass judicially upon the long and labored excuses. The only excuse recognized by law is sickness. Representative W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania submitted to the house a minority report on the question sub mitted by the judiciary committee as to the docking of salaries of members for absenteeism. The majority re port upheld the old law, under which deductions for absenteeism are now being made. But Mr. Stone's report, concurred in by Representatives Childs of Illinois and Updegraff of Iowa, re views the laws bearing on congres sional salaries and concludes that sec tion 40, under which deductions are made, has been repealed by implica tion. THE COJJPKOMISB TARIFF BILL. Democrats Assert and Republicans Deny That It Will Pass. Washington, May 5. Notwith standing the truce agreed upon be tween the Democratic and Republican senators, whereby it was arranged that hostilities on the tariff should cease until next Tuesday, there has j not been a day when there was bolder j talk and stronger protestations on the respective sides of the chamber than yesterday. While the Republi can senators have allowed the Demo crats to infer that when the amend ments are publicly announced and the assurrance of a vote sufticieat to pass the bill is given, they will yield to the majority, they assert privately that they know the neces sary votes can not be obtained and declare the Democrats in the setoate are gradually approaching more seri ous trouble than they have yet en countered; and, in making this state ment they assert Senators Murphy and Smith are as doubtful as is Sena tor Hill in the support of the bill, as it is to be amended. It is asserted Senator Smith only cast his vote for the Gorman resolution in the Demo cratic caucus upon the assurance the resolution was not binding. The Democrats express the great est confidence in the success of the bill. Senator Faulkner said that the bill would become a law before June 15, and that congress would adjourn by July 4. Other Democratic senators declared the tariff bill would pass the senate before June 1. More than one asserted that both Senators Murphy and Smith had given assurance of support. It is noticeable, however, that some of the Democratic senators are canvassing the probabilities of securing the populist vote in the sen ate, and they say Senators Allen and Kyle will vote for the bill, so they can lose Hill, Murphy and Smith if neces sary and9 till have the requisite forty three votes. THE SUGAR BODXTT. Representative Dockery IstrodncM a Resolution Repealing It. Washington, May 5. It has been considered probable that In the course of this session of the house there might be an attempt made to attach to one of the appropriations an amend ment providing for the repeal of the sugar bounty clause of the MeKinley act There has been hesitation about the matter among the Democratic members, as it might be taken as an indication they had some doubts about passing the tariff bill in the senate. Yesterday, however, Mr. Dockery, Democrat of Missouri, introduced the following resolution, which was re ferred to the committee on jules: That so much of the act entitled "an act to rcluce revenue, eqaalze duties and lor other purpose- aporoved October 1. 1 as pro vides for and authorizes the Issue of licenses to produce sutrar and for the payment of a bounty to the producers of u:r from beets, sorghum or cane .-rowiai in the United States, or from maple stp produced within the United States be and the same Is hereby repealed to take effect July 1. ltM, and thereafter it shall be unlawful to issue any license to produce lunar or to pay any bounty for the production of sugar of any kind, under the said act. Rlvr and Harbor BUL Washington, May 5. The house yesterday devoted the day to the con sideration of the river- and harbor bill. In the evening private pension bills were considered, house then ad journed till Monday. The Daily Stats J oubnaI. prints all the newa ORDERED TO MONTANA. The Fifteenth Reiment at Fort Sheri dan. Sadly Demoralised. Chicago1, May 5. Information was received here to-day from Wash ington that the Fifteenth regi ment, U. S. A., would be transferred from Fort Sheridan to Fort Russell, Wyo., and the Seventh regiment, now at Fort Russell, would take the place of the Fifteenth at Fort Sheridan, the transfer to take place July X. The discipline at Fort Sheridan has been criticised and made the sub ject of more than one off cial investiga tion. The shooting of Captain Hedberg by Lieutenant Maney last fall has brought matters to a climax. M'NAMARA REPUDIATED. A. P. A. Supreme Council Officers Dex Clare the Ei-Priest 2fot One of Them. Des Moines, Iowa, May 5. To-day'a meeting of the A. P. A. was largely consumed in the discussion of the president's address and a declaration of principles. Ex-Priest McNamara, who caused a riot in Kansas City, spoke here last night. The officials of the A. P. A. announced that he was not in the city by their invitation and that he did not speak for them in any. sense; that he was merely a man lecturing for the money which people were willing to pay for such speeches. The council to-morrow may take some action in regard to this ex-priest's lectures, as it does not want the order held responsible for their statements. The Texas Treasury Empty. Avstin, Texas, May 5. The treas ury of Texas is to-day without a dol lar, a condition that has not existed for twenty years. Before the end of the year there will be a deficit of several hundred thousand and it is doubtful if the state will be able to meet the interest on the bonds. amounting to $4,000,000.

Fulton, Ark., has been inundated by the Red river. Italy has the greatest proportion of criminals. They number 5,140 to the million of population. Mrs. Margery Mclntyre, aged 75, was burned to death in the Glen house, Rochester. N. Y. In Litchfield, 111., all the miners, about 100 in number, employed by the Litchfield mining and mercantile com pany, have gone out on a strike. Hugh McCormick, aged 75 years, and his grandson, 2 years old, were struck and instantly killed by a rail way train near Brownville, N. Y. Coal men in Pittsburg believes that the conference called for May 15, at Cleveland, to settle the great coal strike, will prove a failure. In Peru, I1L, the City Electric rail way has been compelled to shut down. Owing to the miners' strike there is no coal and not a car is moving. Senator McPherson, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, has favorably reported from that com mit te the amendment to the naval appropriation bill authorizing the construction of twelve new torpedo boats. A silver nugget weighing 3,300 pounds has been hoisted out of the Smuggler mine in Aspen, Col. There is a large amount of such rich ore in sight in this mine, but the owners are taking out but little on accouni of the low price of silver. In San Francisco, Cal., two hostlers engaged in a fight of extraordinary brutality at a race track. They were Mat Green and Charles Paul. Green caught one of Paul's fingers in his mouth and bit it off. Then Paul re turned the compliment by biting off the man's nose. In Devil's Lake, N. D-, citizens and rai lroad men gathered and showed their bitter feeling against United States Marshal Cronin for his action during the Great Northern strike by first hanging and then burning him in effisy. Between 200 and 300 men were present. The supposed infernal machine which was found Thursday night close to the government powder magazine in Hyde park, London, turns out to be another hoax. xne machine was nothing more than a meat tin, con taining a clock case, and filled with soot. Sheriff Norman arrested Fred Me Kinley, twenty-five miles from Chey enne Wells, Col., for the alleged mur der of Henry Corley last Monday near Sharon Springs, Kan. Corley and MeKinley were brothers-in-law, and the murder was the result of a family quarrel. The murderer attempted to conceal the body in a ravine. Me Kinley was taken back to Kansas.

I soou discovered on mjr left leg Just above tlie knee a small brown spot about as big a a three cent piece, which puffed up but did not hurt me or feel sore.

The Amusing Mistake of a Re publican Congressman. Washington; May 5. SpeciaL When the comet scare was on a few years ago, a great astronomer -was many times appealed to by those anxious about the re sult in case the wanderer should strike the earth. His reply was that, the material of the comet bjeing very many times thinner than common air, the effect of a collision would be about the same upon the earth as if a spoonful of jelly should be hurled against Pike's peak. That is about the effect which the arrival of Coxey's army has had upon social matters in Washing ton, though some think it has tended to increase the normal gayety of the season. Their first Sunday in the District and on its border was unusually fine, all the bicy clers were out, and tho demand for livery rigs was peculiarly active. A largo section of the cabinet and invited guests set tho example of gayety, and it has been &ctivo ly followed all tho week. Secretaries Gresh am and Carlisle, Postmaster General Bis scll, Private Secretary Thurber, Hon. Don M. Dickinson and a few others sailed for Fort Mo;ipj9 just as the avant couriers of the industrials crossed the border of tho District and enjoyed themselves aa hilari ously down theri for two or threo days as if there was no such thing as the "army." General Schofield bad scarcely sent off di rections to the department commanders in the northwest to sustain the United States marshals when necessary when many war department officials took a brief holiday, and M.iy day came in with all this region in its gayest mood. Events In Society. Society began the month with at least tho usual vivacity and has more than maintained it. Tho first event of impor tance was the Blaine-Boale wedding, which lias been so often described in advance, and which took place at the oft described Blaine residence on Lafayette square. This was followed by the highly fashionable enter tainment on Tuesday evening at the Wit tingham institute on Chestnut avenue, Takomo park, and this on We dnesday even ing by a number of lectures and entertain ments in aid of various charities. Chief Engineer Webster, Unitod States navy, gave an illustrated lecture on Samoa at St. John's parish hall for the benefit of the Children's Country home. Another great entertainment in the same line that is to say, for charity's sake was that given at Albaugh's Opera Houso un der the patronage of Mrs. John G. Carlisle. The minuet was danced in tho good old colonial style, and all the favorite old songs were sung in tho attractive old way. Of things comparatively modern that is, not more than 40 years old were the songs '-Old Kentucky Home" and "Do, Hear the Gentle Lark" by Miss Rogers of Tennessee. All this time, owing to the beautiful weather, tho cavalry drill at Fort Myer and other open air shows, if one may call them such, around tho city were un usually well attended. The week's enter tainments for charity concluded with the rendition of '"Pinafore" and "Pirates of Penzance" by amateurs at the Academy of Music for the benefit of the Xational Homeopathic hospital. Take it all in all, if tho Coxeyites should leave any sick and wounded with us, they will be well pro vided for. Not Badly Frightened. While all these volunteer and nonprofes sional entertainments were in progress theater managers showed very plainly that they were not arranging for bad business, for the combination of first class plays at the various theaters was very unusual in deed for the season. If our people are scared over the Coxey business, they havo taken a queer way of showing it. The real trouble seems to havo come a long way from Washington, and the comments thereon of representative men hero show no particular change of opinion. Many, of course, express sympathy with the unemployed poor, and a few think gov ernment with propriety could order some kind of public work done to give tempo rary relief, but men of all parties agree that the industrials who have seized trains should le promptly dealt with and by United States troops. Even tho extremely mild resolutions introduced by Senator Al len arc generally disapproved on the ground that at a tinio like this congress should say nothing which tho most heated imagina tion could construe into an approval of such a scheme as Coxey's. Tlie Wilson Bill. Whether by the continued prodding of their constituents or by the rapid advance of hot weather, members of both houses seem stimulated to an unusual degree of activity in putting forward the public business, and prophecies multiply that all will bo reaely for adjournment quite early in June. The minority in the senate have continued to assert, with great vehemenco and as if it were a matter for shame and apology, that the majority members havo been arranging a compromise, and the lat ter havo continued to deny it with some thing like indignation; but, after all, it is only a matter of construing language. No member of the majority has denied for sev eral weeks that the differences in the domi nant party wero to be reconciled so that all could voto for tho bill, and motit of them have been tolerably free to give their opin ion as to the terms of the agreement. As it is a matter of well known history that no tariff bill ever did pass the senate that was not the result of a compromise, one is at a loss to know why the suggestion should be met with such indignation in this case. It is no news at this lat day, but it is pimply a certainty that the Wilson bill will be amended and re-amended until it is in shape to get the vote of every mem ber of the majority with possibly one ex ception. A Slip of the TonRtie. In view of the storm created by the state ment that a southern congressman once asked in a speech, "Where was I at?" it is hardly safe to report a sentence uttered in conversation by a Republican representa tive who is prominent cnongh to be spoken of as a candidate for president. Soeakinjr I of a fellow statesman, he said, "The differ ence between he and I is," etc." The jour-v nalist to whom he said it was almost pros trated, and the speaker's colleague, who was also one of the party, enjoined the strictest secrecy as soon as the talker's back was turned. It does seem queer that a rep resentative of a state noted for its high standard of education should use such an expression as ''between he and 1," but like the expression "Where was I at?" and many others heard from congressmen it. merely shows how defects of early training will constantly prove themselves among statesmen as well as other people.

OTHER STATE NEWS. The Smallpox at Atchison is Spreading:. Pittsburg, May 5. There is still hope that the proposed coal miners' 6trike may be settled before any overt steps are ta ken. 31 any miners do not favor striking-, but they take no active part in op position to it, while the Agitators are urg ing their cause with much zeal. Litera ture of the following kind is being dis tributed freely by the advocates of a striker FELLOW-MINERS i Strike for Your Rights.

Yes, strike, -not here and there, but all over this broad land. From the At lantic to the Pacific, every miner should oa the first day of May drop his pick and shovel and be determined to risk no more his life at starvation wages. We are slowly driven to the wall by reduction in our wages, aud local strikes have proven worse than useless against the eucroachments of our tyrannical em ployers. Central Pennsylvania is threatened with another reduction of 10 per cent; West Virginia is fighting against reduc tions by local strikes; Ohio has accepted a reduction of 2'J cents per ton, and now Indiana, Illinois and other com petitive .fields, although price3 are down low enough, will be asked to accept further reduction on account of this cowardly move of united Ohio. We are going down, and no one knows Where this cut-throat competition to secure markets will stop unless we rise in our might and put an end to this unjust cap italistic system based upon fraud, rob bery ana brute force. Our condition is worse than that of the black slave. Our employers have not even as much consideration for us as they have for their horses and mules. They are fed whether they work or not. When we work we only get at best a miserable living; when we have no work we soon have to beg or steal. Thousands of us are starving and our wives and children are crying for bread. Shall'' we silently submit and starve like cowards? In the name of those so dear to us, we say no! a thousand times no! Let us be men. Let us act at once and strike for better conditions. Ohl if we only knew our power and how to use it properly! We, the dirty miners, who are looked upon as an in ferior and worthless class, can stop the wheels of industry. A general strike of miners means the closing up of factories and the stopping of traffic by rail or by water. We would be masters of the sit uation and could dictate terms to our employers. The theory that some people were born. to work and suffer while others were born to lead a life of idleness and luxury has been exploded. None are born with special rights and privileges: Why then follow the old conservative rut and willingly give up the wealth that we produce so the few may revel in luxury? It's time that we should put a stop to this, bare-faced robbery, and plainly tell the idler that if he wants to eat he must also work. This present competitive system is rotten and must be destroyed. In the cities thousands of people are freezing for want of coal, and the miners are starving for want of work. Are not these shameful conditions? Can we imagine anything worse? Tne capitalistic class has proven a failure in conducting the industries of this country for the benefit of the people. Only scoundrels aud rogues can succeed today. Our jails are crowded with honest people, compared with the rich thieves and murderers that are running the country. We have been robbed and fooled long enough. Let us no longer be cowards. Our only salvation is a general strike for conditions that will enable us to live like human beings. We have a right to enjoy the fruits of our labor, to enjoy some of the good things, some of the luxuries that ought to be at the reach of every worker in this age of electricity and continual wonders. Let us then be prepared to enter this struggle on the 1st of May with a de termination to win and put an end to this infernal system of monopoly, op pression aud wage-slavery. We have nothing to lose but our chains, but we have a world to gain. TOPtKA SELECTED. Kansas Medical Association Will Hold It N.xt Jtleeting: Here. Atchison, May 5.

WE BREAD THE WORLD And We Shall Ba Able to Do It as Usual, Secretary Coburn of the state board of agriculture, today issues hi crop report which makes a handsome showing for Kansas. He says: Every day since the report on crop conditions of one month ago .has been a day of notable improvement agricultur ally in every Kansas county. All parts of the state have been visited by gentle rains (many portions from three t six or more times) which while sufficient to put the soil iu the best possible state for working were not at any time so heavy nor long-continued as to deiay work. As a whole the month has- not been a warm one and although tke growth of vegetation has not been of a steady, healthy character it was not nearly so rapid as would have resulted from a con tinuously higher temperature. It has been a period of steady plowing and planting, under weather and soil condi tions as favorable as. the farmers of any region need ever hope for, and May 1894 opens upon them with unusually bright promise of bountiful crops. This does not imply that in numerous counties much of the winter wheat sown will not, because of an unfavorable fall and winter, give but a poor return, and iu not a few instances none in all; but it is a fact not to be overlooked that the ground where such wheat has fallen has been at once available in the best possi ble tilth for the uses of corn or other desired crops to which it is rapidly be ing planted. Winter Wheat. Rains and favoring weather have caused a development most gratifying; fields that In many counties a month ago were regarded as worthless, now indicate a partial crop from a scattering stand of healthy plants; great areas previously promising, but supposed to have been much if not fataily injured by the freez ing weather following March 20, appear as practically unharmed, .Mud this, with that not suspected of any such damage, is now variously described by corre spondents as "good," "fine," "very good," "better than average," "looks well gen erally," "condition 150 per cent," "pros pect for a big crop, extra good," "better than for several years," "splendid," su perior," "all right," and "best in twenty five years.'" The counties from which the most highly favorable reports come are Allen, Anderson, Atchisou, Bourbon, Brown, Chase, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Coffey, Crawford, Dickinson, Doniphan, Doug las, Elk, Ellsworth, Franklin, Geary, Jackson, Jefferson, Jewell. .ilcPherson, Johnson, Labette, Leavenworth, Linn, Lincoln, Lyon, Marion, Miami, Mitchell, Montgomery, Morris, Nemaha, Osge Osborne, Ottawa. Pottawatomie, Riley, Saline. Sedgwick, Wabaunsee, Washing ton, Wilson, Woodson and Wyandotte, while Clark, Greeley. Hamilton, Ness, .Morton and W ichita report their former poor prospects vastly improved. These statements, applicable as they are to portions of the state producing great quantities of wheat, do not obscure the fact that in other portions tho crop at best can amount comparatively to but little, the plants yet alive being so scat tering as to constantly suggest tho ques tion as to whether the ground might not wisely be replanted to other crops. Reports of correspondents quite unan imously agree that the freeze in March did but a fraction of the injury reared at the time, and that practically all of dam age of failure sustained has been due to poor germination from dryness of the soil iu the fall and the consequent later blowing of it from the plant-roots, caus ing them to perish. The indications aro that the hard wheats have withstood the adverse conditions much the best Chinch bugs are reported in various loqalities, but in scarcely a siugle in stance as doing any damage whatever. No mention is made of any other in sects. Corn. The uniformly favorable weather and soil throughout the entire corn belt of the state during nearly or quite all of April have afforded a season well nigh unprecedented for the planting and ger mination of corn. An unusually large proportion of it is already in the ground; in the southern counties many fields are receiving their first cultivation and show a most satisfactory stand. In the central and northern counties the situation is equally encouraging, although work and growth are somewhat less advanced The acreage planted will undoubtedly be very large, and augmented too by much ground upon which winter wheat has' failed and where oats and spring wheat have been seriously harmed by March cold. Reports indicate that in Kansas the lister ha3 become the corn- plantiDg machine of the day and has, at least for the time being, in a great meas ure superseded all others. Spring: Wl&eat. The area sown to spring wheat as re ported by correspondents is less than that of last year by about one-fourth. Dry weather at the time of seeding prevented early germination; the cold period lata in March retarded growth aud reduced its vitality. Counties having the largest acreage report the prospect not more than fair. Bye. The conditions pertaining to winter wheat have been and are closely appli cable to rye. In some localities tho prospect is good while in others but mod erate. Oats. The acreage of last year was 1,753,107; reports point to a decrease from thi. of about 15 per cent and a condition which is 65 per cent of a good average. Not a little of the ground sown to oats will yet be planted with corn or other crops. Grase. Pasturage in all portions of the state is rapidly coming forward and already sus tains the live stock. Tame varieties of grasses are much the most advanced. Fruit. Late varieties of apples as a whole are perhaps as promising of a good crop as in the most favorable of previous sea eons; the injury supposed to have been wrought by cold in March proving but slight except as to the early sorts. The same description applies to late and early cherries. Peaches, as noted a month ago were destroyed by cold. 3IR71tALEWrxS. He Is the Legal City Assessor Says the Supreme Court. Geo. D. Hale is now the legal assessor of the city, of Topeka. The state su preme court today made an order oust ing Oscar Bischoff from that position. An argument was made that Mr. Bis choff's acts if he made the assessment would be void. The court holds that all his acta as city assessor are logal until he turns the office over to his successor. Mr. Bischoff was sippointed by Mayor Cofran under the impression that he was to serve two years. When Mayor Har rison was elected he appointed Mr. Halo and held that the Bischolf's tenure of office was one year instead of two. Mr. Bischoff refused to turn over the books and suit was brought in the supremo court to oust him. While the order of the court gives tho office to Mr. Hale the assessment has been made and Mr. Bischolf lias fctreure I the emoluments for the year iu question.

Weather Indication. Washington, May 5 For Kansas Partly cloudy; cooler Sunday; south to west winds.- Ir these splendid rains continue, they will simply ruin Joe Bristow's irrigation congressional boom. The courts must be In need of reform very badly indeed if congress can sea that things are wrong. While many sections of the country are fearing strikes what Des Moines just now most desires is a walk out. The New England aggregation of coinmonwealers is said to be so cultured that it subsists entirely on Greek roots. The reason Kelly is so mad at Coxey is probably because hU men have to live on bread and meat while Coxey'a got pie. There is danger that if Coxey'a army remains in Washington long it will be come aa no accouut and doless as con gress. Texas has now reached the height of Democratic excellence; it hasn't a dol lar in the treasury aud will soon have to borrow money. '1 he name of Attorney Malowney who is prosecuting Browne, Coxey and Jones sounds a good deal as if he might be I rum New York. A large comet came close enough to the eanh to get a glimpe of Democratic times and now it is going away at the rate of 5,UU0 miles a day. If Senator Allen is to do any talking in the Coxey trial there will be no doubt about the commonweal leader remaining in Washington all summer. Perhaps the congressional commit tee's criticism of Judge Jenkins' "gross abuse of power" was not prompted so much by patriotism as jealousy. Schwab the anarchist whom Gov. Alt geld pardoned is making more inflamma tory speeches than ever before. The only good anarchists it seems are dead ones. The fact that Senatcr Dawes had the courage to celebrate hi golden wedding the other day would be sufficient proof, If none other existed, that he lived east of the Mississippi. The Massachusetts commonwealers ay they won't mix with Coxey'a follow ers. They claim to be very cultured and are so fastidious that they won't accept beans without Browning. Democratic office holders above all others should not be overbearing toward the lndustralists for it will be but a short time till they themselves will all belong to the army of the unemployed. The government doesn't sell bonds to pay running expenses. Oh, no. It merely sells bonds to get gold, then sells the gold for export and uses the proceeds to pay expenses. A great scheme, surely. Oct of the thirty-four cities largest in the country Topeka is one of only two which show an increase this week in bank clearings. Our increase is 22.7 per cent. Hastings, Nebraska, increased 7.9. The senate has put off consideration of the tariff bill until Tuesday. The coun try will feel much relieved at this, for it was so afraid the senate with ita mad im petuosity would act with rashness and haste. The Northern Pacifio investigating committee has revealed that a United States judge has almost absolute power. If Cleveland could only get himself ap pointed to the bench he wonld have a splendid field for the exercise of his pe culiar talents. Mrs. Lease accusing G. C Clemens of engaging ia inflammatory talk imply for notoriety looks a good deal like the pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Clem ens receives no compensation for his speeches, while Mrs. Lease manufac tures blood and thunder for a compensa tion. There can be no doubt of Mr. Clemens' sincerity, while the disinter estedness of Mrs. Lease's devotion to calamity's cause is at least open to bus-p'claa. 8ECTI0HTAL LI2TES. Sectional lines have always been a curse to any political party which ad hered strictly to the geographical loca tion of the several candidates ia making np its state ticket. Kansas ia no longer la the solid Republican column and having become one of the doubtful states it will be well for the delegates to the coming state convention to carefully consider this question before the nomt i nations are made. I When the Republican party of Kansas had an 82,000 majority it became the fashion to divide the candidates for state offices as evenly as possible among the several congressional districts often with little regard to the fitness and qualifica tions of the men nominated. If the Republicans of Kansas expect to win this year thev must nominate men who are qualified and whose per sonal characters are irreproachable, no matter if two or three of the candidates thus selected do happen to come from the same congressional district. The Republican who refuses to vote the ticket simply because his district did not seemingly get its share of the nomi nations is not a very good Republican, but if good men are nominated on the Republican ticket this year they will be elected without a doubt as the people are tired of a reform administration which has not reformed and the eyes of the voters of the state are open to the fact that the affairs of the state are safe in the hands of competent and loyal Repub licans. G. H. J. Taylor, Kansas City's colored politician, is bound to have something. If the senate refuses to make him regis ter of deeds of tho District of Columbia he will come back to Kan sas and run for congress. The colored man and civilization have become great friends in the past few years and the ebony voter hustles in aa persistent in his demands for pie as his self exalted white brother. If C H. J. Taylor expects the Democrats to do anything for him because he is a colored man and they love him. he had better take a reef in his expecta tions. He voted the Democratic ticket and induced a few more deluded colored men into doing the same thing but the party has no further vuse for him. Be fore Taylor gets anything at the hands of the Democrats, he will be where there is a larger Democratic majority than there is here. Mrs. Ella Patton, of Atchison, who is a woman who believes a woman's place is home, writes a half column let ter to the Troy Chief in an endeavor to prove that the women of Kansas do not vant suffrage. Mrs. Patton declares that the girls of today are becoming too mannish and independent anyway, and that equal suffrage would be but an other step towards the abolition of the marriage tie. She says that Miss An thony, Miss Willard and Anna Shaw might have been happier and more use ful if the husband and child had come into their lives. There ia no immediate danger that marriage will be overthrown by suffrage.

That is just what a great many people are doing. They know something is wrong and yet cannot tell what is the matter. Did you ever think what a large pro portion of the American people is sick, or at least, if not exactly sick, not well? Something is the matter all the time. How many people of your personal ac quaintance are constantly complaining of being "so tired," having "such a head ache," of "not feeling juat right," and a thousand and one other things, until it almost seems as if the world had become one huge hospital filled with incurables. What ia the cause of all this? Certainly it is not a natural condition, but, on the contrary, is one that should cause much anxiety and alarm. The American people are proverbially in a hurry work in a hurry and sleep in a hurry, overworking and overstraining nature, and then wondering why it is they do not feel well and strong. One of the results of the American way of "rushing" things is the impairment of the digestive organs. Indigestion is a terriable common ailment among all classes of people. Thousands of men and women cannot assimilate their food, and through lack of nourishment they lose flesh, becoming thin, pale and weak. It was formerly the custom to prescribe cod liver oil and other -nauseating prep arations for this condition, but doctors are now admitting that it is unreasonable to expect the stomach to digest these sickening remedies when it cannot stand the most delicate foods. Strong medica ted wines nnd bitters have also failed, because they only inflame the coating of the stomach, and make matters worse. Drugs and medicines have been proved to be equally useless. The only way to cure indigestion and restore the stomach to a healthy condi tion is to give nourishment without the aid of the digestive organs, so as to give the stomach a rest. This is a common sense prinojple, and it has given rise to one of the greatest discoveries of modern times namely, Paskola, the pre digested food. Paskola is unlike any preparation that has ever been introduced. It is not a drug or a medicine, but a pure starchy food, artificially digested. As soon as it is swallowed it is absorbed by the system, giving instant nourishment without any digestive process in the stomach. In this way it gives tone and strength to every part of the system and enables other food, to be perfectly digested. Wherever Pas kala is taken, the symptoms of dyspepsia speedily diasapear, the whole body feels its reviving influence, and emanciated people find themselves becoming plump and strong. The testimony of pale, thin people who have taken Paskola shows that it can add two pounds a week to the weight of people who have lost flesh through lack of nutrition. One great point in favor of Paskola is that it is ex tremely pleasant to the taste and agree able to the most sensitive stomach. Even children like to take it, and that is why it agrees with them and does them so much good. Read this frank and truthful letter from a minister of the Gospel: Worth Centre, N. Y., April 14th, 1894. The Pre-Dige8ted Food. (Jo., SO Reade St., New York. Gentlemen: In reply to yeurs of April 12th, 1894, I can truly say it is a pleasure to give to the world a testimonial in re gard to Paskola. for it has done wonders for myself and wife. We have taken $4. 50 worth, less than the price of one visit from our physician, yet it has done for us what no doctor's prescription or patent medicines have ever done. For 25 years I have suffered untold miseries by a disordered stomach. For years I have had to abstain from meats, but after one day's use of Paskola have eaten meat or any other food my appetite craved with no ill results. In regard to my wife, I hardly know how to write. It certainly appears like a miracle. Months passed with her with no appetite and so reduced in flesh and vitality was she that we were looking for nothing ehort of a speedy death. But Providence, in the shape of a little pam phlet tucked under the string of a pack age brought from a neighboring town, and by me tossed upon the table with the remark, "Here, wife, is something to cure your ills and give you an appetite." She read it and said to me, "1 have faith to believe that if I had that Paskola it would help me." The next mail carried an order for a bottle. The second day brought the bot tle, and she took the first dose. That was four weeks ago. Teday she can eat a hearty meal and of anything she craves, something she had not done for months. I regret we did not .weigh ourselves before we began to take Paskola; but the truth is I had no great faith in it, so many things had failed. But you have our lasting gratitude. You can make such use of this testi monial as you wish. I do not send it to obtain a supply free, but because I have the good of my fellow men at heart. I have induced a few people already to give Paskola a trial. When they shall have given it a trial, I will obtain their testimonials for you. Hoping under God this endorsement may benefit some, we remain Yours truly, Ret. A. F. Beebe and Wife. Paskola may be obtained of any repu table druggist. A pamphlet on food and digestion will be mailed free on applica tion to The Pre-Digested Food Co., SO Reade at, New York.

STATE JOTTnNAlV SATTTRITAT EVENING, MAT" THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT; Pert, Pretty Delia Fox Was Celery Compound "All Run Down Paine's Made Her Well. There was never a remedy so highly recommended as Paine's celery com pound. There was nevsr a remedy ia such universal demand. Because It makes people well! Every one among the thousands who have seen petite Delia Fox recognizes in her one of the established favorites on the comic opera stage of America. She is one of the best singers now on the boards. She has a sense of pathos as well as a keen appreciation of humor, and as for deft and nimble dancing there is no star who can excel her. Pert, chipper, vivacious, the very soul of motion, yet with every nerve and mus cle under perfect control. Best of all, she is unique. Everything that she does has the Delia Fox "tang." The life story of this celebrated artist and coming star is full of interest. It shows, too, how much common sense and pure grit can accomplish when com bined with real ability. She has worked her way up in her profession Btep by step with indomitable determination and a perseverance that nothing could discourage. "With Con reid, with llopper, and other managers be has won so many successes in so many cities mat no artist in comic opera country, it," she ia better known throughout tbe "But I have had to work for said to a reporter in New York the other day. "You needn't think that an actress life is spent upon a bed of roses. I love the stage dearly, and am very far from wish ing to find fault, but indeed the life is more trying than people suppose. "You see we go through life with a rush. I have no time for anything. Singing every night and rehearsing every day, with whatever time there may be left over spent in railroad cars that is my yearly routine. Of course the result of this sort of thing is a severe strain upon the nervous system. The elTort to identify one's eelf with the character upon the stage is very trj-ing. "I have frequently found myself, after a particularly successful engagement, so nervous that eating and sleeping seemed luxuries with which I had parted com pany forever, and I wondered if fame or fortune achieved at such a price were not too dearly purchased after alL Last summer I was particularly run down. The least thing affrighted me, and I shrank from study with loathing. "I was then in Washington, and the wife of a U. 3. senator recommended to me a cure which 6he said had enabled her husband to bear up during the strain of the tierce debates in congress while the force bill was pending. I took it at her solicitation, and was rejoiced to find an almost immediate improvement. .My spirit picked up, and at the end of two weeks the same old exuberant health with which nature blessed me had returned.

Innumerable testimonials as to its wonderful value as a spring medicine have been voluntarily 6ent to Burling ton, Vt., where it is prepared. Paine's celery compound is the most remarkable remedy for the blood and nerves of the 19th century. It has been recognized and is today employed by the foremost physicians for curing kidney and liver troubles and all diseases due to nervous disorder, faulty nutrition and impoverished blood, producing results that seem little short of miraculous. Paine's celery compound in the spring builds up the system, purifies the blood, regulates the nerves. The weak and worn-out soon find their frames invig orated, their, spirits raised, and their strength renewed. It makes people well! As a spring medicine it ia as superior to all the ordinary remedies as strength is better than weakness. Win Htke Addresses) at Hamilton Hall A Ureat Wee It Promised. The first equal suffrage mass meeting of the big state rally in Topeka, will be held at Hamilton hall next Wednesday evening. The hall will be decorated with flags and the bright yellow colors of the equal suffrage association. There will be an abundance of music The Morgan sisters, the Wyatt sisters and the Alhambra mandolin club will take part. The speakers will be enter tained at the homes of the members of the equal suffrage association. These meetings will be open to the oubllc and it is the wish of the association that the hall be filled, not only by those in sym pathy with woman suffrage, but by those opposed to it. Dr. Eva Hardine. president of the To peka Equal Suffrage association, said to a reporter: "Say in the Journal that these will be non-partisan meetings and we want everybody, regardless of party, to coma" Mrs. L. O. Case, who is orominent in suffrage work, said: "I think it will be the largest suffrage meeting ever held in xansas." The ladies held a meeting at Music hall to make preparations for next week. it was proposed to advertise the meet ings on the electric cars, but it was after ward voted down, as Ringling Bros, are going to advertise on the cars at that time, and some of the ladies didn't like the idea of putting their advertisement along side of a circus advertisment. It was decided to use posters. It doesn't seem to have occurred to the ladies that the best place to advertise their meetings is in the newspapers. A full page "poster" in the Statk Jour nal would go into 5,300 families in To peka and would be read by 15,000 people at lease If that doesn't beat sticking up posters on bill boards, what does? A committee was appointed to decor ate the hall appropriately for the meet ing. A motion was adopted requesting every member of the association to wear the badge representing equal suffrage the yellow ribbon, and also asking all others in sympathy with the cause to wear it. The time worn subject whether the as sociation should be non-partisan was brought up again for discussion. One member said that she thought every lady should belong to some party. This started quite a spirited discussion. It was suggested that after the women got the right to vote, that they could then choose a party, but that until then, it was best to be non-partisan. The question of the selection of members for the committees to visit the different political county conventions provoked a warm discussion. Some thought that only Republican ladies should visit Re publican conventions, Populists, Popu list conventions, Democrats, Democratic conventions. The majority however; thought women best fitted and who would have the moat influence should be selected. The committee appointed to solicit funds to defray the expenses of the mass meeting at Hamilton hall has, as yet, not been very successful. The hall rent will be $40 and the other expenses will be about $19. This money is to be so licited from the citizens. The ladies wish to call especial atten tion to request that all attend wear the badge of the association. I hev say they would be pleased to have the men wear the yellow ribbon also.

Sir: In your paper of Thursday oc curs this paragraph: "A few years a?o a fight was made by this society oa Ir. Roby and on Munk, Mulvane i Munis, because they advertised, and this society compelled them to quit." 1 don't know what fight may have been made on Slnl vane, Munk Mulvane, but 1 do know that no fight was ever made on me. I have had my business card in most of the Topeka papers most of the time for fifteen years, and a portion of that time in other papers in various part if the state. I have paid the newspapers a snug little sum in that time for aoiuiot ing the public with the fact that 1 am a doctor, and doing business at the capital of Kansas. I do not ask'any of my competitors' permission to advertise, nor their advice about the form or extent of my adver tising. Every doctor and other busiut-ns man is in duty bound to help support the newspapers in his community, and I hope I have done my full tsharo of it. In return the newspapers have ail treated me very kindly and generously, a fa t which I fully appreciate. And their bill collector is always a welcome guest at my office, albeit I sometimes have to say to him "come again." Henry W. liouv. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS, citizen is of hid THE PROGRAMME.

A WOMAN MEMCER OF THE ASTRO NOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC. Packing Away For Summer Chicago's Woman Drairgist A Question of Justice. Jackets -of the Season- Kentucky's En tering Wedge Mrs. Alice F. Palmer. The only woman astronomer of any importance oil the Pacific coast is Miss Rose O'H&lloran. She is also the only woman member of the Astronomical So ciety of the Pacific, having been nomi nated to the honor by Professor Holdcn. From her earliest childhood ehe -was at tracted by astronomy,, and it -was the one study that was always a pleasure and never a task. In appearance Miss O'Halloran is in teresting. She is very small, -with a well shaped head firmly set on small shoulders and held" tip With that inde scribable air that denotes character. Her eyes are gray, with circles about them that tell of watching at night, bnt they are very pleasant, cheerful eyes lor all that. She dresses with the utmost sim plicity. Miss O'Halloran was born in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland. Her father was well to do,"' and his daughter re ceived a good education.: After his death the family wealth rapidly disappeared, and the carefully raised daughter had to think about earning a living. Miss O'Halloran came to America and began teaching, and she naturally chose as tronomy, her favorite subject, as her specialty. She managed to keep up her independent observations in spite of the difficulty of teaching all day and star gazing all night. Her chief difficulty was the lack of a fitting instrument for her work. Sho was at last enabled to obtain her heart's desire. Professor George Davidson became interested in her struggles, and it was by the help of .his wife and himself she finally owned a 4 i,j inch Brashear refractor. The room where Miss O'Halloran and the telescope do their work is an observ atory and classroom combined, for she still finds it necessary to teach. In place of pictures tho observatory is hung with maps and charts of the heavens. Just now she is looking for variable stars. On every clear night she scans the heav ens in the region of Scorpion. Each night she draws a map on which tho positions and magnitude of the stars are indicated. In 1894 she will have com pleted her third set of maps. From these she will determine what stars she sup poses to be variable in Scorpion. On Jan. 19, 1893, she observed and sketched a rapidly developing group of spots near the sun's western limb. The return of the group on the eastern limb was first seen on Feb. 4. This group was identi 'fied with the great February sun spot group, so that Miss O'Halloran was one of the very earliest observers, and pos sibly the earliest, which shows what can be accomplished by industry even with nothing better than a 4 inch tele scope. During years of struggle and study she has added to her income by writing astronomical articles for maga zines. At present Miss O'Halloran is collect ing material for a book. She expects it to take years, but some day all the maps and diagrams she is drawing will be collected and published. San Francisco Chronicle. Packing; Away For Summer. There are few things among the house keeper's duties that are as imperfectly understood and about which so much unnecessary fuss is made as the putting away of winter clothing and furs in order to keep them safely and prevent the ravages of moths. Plans innumer able are devised, and chemicals and drugs without limit are recommended, and all the while the industrious de stroyer goes cn, and when autumn comes little is left but perforations to tell the 6torj(Spf failure. Very little is required in order to insure the success of the packing away, and this little is, in most cases, comprehended by precautions tak en in time and the use of close bags of thick paper. Put away early in the sea son, after a thorough beating and dust ing, furs will, 99 times out of 100, come out in perfect order, but they must be done before the moth season begins, else the precaution avails but little. In case it is necessary to have them about late in the season the danger may be removed by dusting them with very dry salt and allowing them to remain a few hours. Unless the salt becomes damp, it does neither furs nor garments any manner of harm and is one of the most effectual preservatives. Moths do not like salt and will not work in gar ments that are spriiikled with it. "When perfectly dry, it is unlikely to produce any injurious effect whatever. Carpets, rugs, draperies, indeed ev erything of the wool or fur nature, may be safely packed in this way. Last year fine rugs and carpets were put into bags made of ticking. Before rolling them up salt was sprinkled through them and shaken into every portion. The bags were then hung np in a dry attic, and when they were un packed in November they were in the most perfect order. It is unnecessary and wasteful this destruction from moths about which so much is said, when 10 cents' worth of salt is suffi cient to insure the safety of all of the wool materials in an ordinary sized house. New York Ledger. Chicago's Woman Druggist. Mrs. Ida Hall Roby is the pioneer woman druggist of Chicago, and she does a flourishing business. She is a' native of Rochester, but has lived in Chicago for over 20 years. When in 1880 she was thrown upon her own sup port, she applied for a position as drug clerk at a pharmacy near her home. During her four years' apprenticeship there she made the acquaintance and won the esteem of .many physicians in the neighborhood, so that when she started business for herself at the end of that time she had already quite a clien ts lie. At the same time she entered the iii i 1 1 1 1 i sr ,-sr-' ?.-r tt. .aa."-', v v 'Alba sljsmw A PARIS BICYCLE COSTUME. Harper's Bazar. Northwestern university, and by hard work succeeded in building up a busi ness and obtaining a degree at the same time. Her business is now in a flourish ing condition. She has for the past three years furnished the drug supplies of the Home For the Friendless, and for the past year those for the Hahnemann Medical college and hospital. The store itself is shiningly neat and betrays its feminine ownership in numerous ways. Mrs. Roby was the founder of the Women's Pharmaceutical association of Illinois, which exhibited the model drug store at the World's fair last year. She tries in her business to have women for her assistants. Her clerk at present is Miss Viola Griswold, who carried off the medal for scholarship from 65 men in the class of 1892 at Northwestern uni versity. She sleeps in the store to answer night calls and to open it at 6 o'clock in the morning, but these hardships do not dampen her enthusiasm, and she is aa zealous as her employer. Chicago Let ter. A Question of Simple Jnstice. Prior to 25 years ago there were no women's clubs in the country. Today there are no fewer than 500 feminine organizations, representing a member ship of more than 50,000 women, and these have been called into existence and carried on with continuous propriety by my own sex exclusively. These club' concern themselves with the discussioi. I of every important question of the day, and a great number of them give espe cial attention to political study. As women become familiarized with politics from governmental and consti tutional points of view they develop an interest in the ballot and begin" to recognize that in simple justice the pre rogative of a vote should be accorded them. Therefore, in my estimation, the opinion that women should have a vote is spreading widely among the progress ive and intelligent women of the day. Among these I recognize many women who only a few years ago were arrayed in tho strongest opposition to the wom an's suffrage movement. In the ranks of illiterate or ignorant women I do not think the subject has gained any headway, as they do not know anything about it. They are afraid of it, sensitive to the ridicule they may excite in the inferior intelligence of their daily associates. The number of the violent and aggressive agitators of "women's rights" does not seem to aug ment, but the able, earnest, evenly bal anced pioneers of the cause have reason to congratulate themselves upon the steady, upward, intelligent growth of tho ideas they were the first to dissemi nate.

Mr. Harris New of the Journal, disclaims ever having been interviewed on the subject of Gen. Harrison's candidacy.

The author of the reported interview did not hear the conversation, but was told that a conversation on the Bubject had been held, and without even know ing the substance of the conversation wrote the alleged interview.

The pro position to float Kelly's army down the .Misisaippi on ntteen rafts each" bearing ten men is still under consideration. It id feared that Kelly will not be able to float over 800 of his men out of the city when he, goes and that the 50J or more will be turned loose on the city and county. During the past week as many as 100 men brought here by the army either as members or hangera-on, have been jailed on various charges. The citizens' committee disbanded to day and closed its otfice. This committee had been in charge of Gen. Weaver and his fellow spirits. They were unanimous n welcoming the army but have notilied hem they can do nothing more. SEIZED AMERICAN HORSES? Germ-ins Object to Having ''VtiageTm" Palmed OfT on Them. Berlin, May 5. A sensation has been caused in German sporting circles by the seizure of three trotting mares be long to an American named Kneeb3. It appears that Kneebs has been win ning a number of trotting races in this country and that he has won prizes in money to the amount of 2,250 marks with Bethel, one of his mares, by racing her under the name of Nellie Kneebs, and declaring that she had never before won a match. The discovery of this fraud led to the seizure of the three mares owned by kneebs just as they were upon the point of being shipped to Vienna. ONLY MILE TRACKS. Western Turf Coiiiei8 Discounteuanees All but Mile Trucks. St. Louis,May 5. Horsemen who have been campaigning here at the East Side, Madison and South Side tracks are much disturbed over an imperative rule adopt ed by ths Western lurf congress at its recent meeting and which has just been made public. The rule, in effect, discountenances tracks less than a mile in length and bars from the big tracks all horses run after Juue 23 on tracks less than a mile in length. As the three tracks noted are all half tracks and have stabled a total of nearly 2,J00 horses, it is easy to understand the effect of the rule here. FIGHT FOR A CHILD. Mrs. Louies Northrup and Oeorge liiddle Have Trouble About a Tattle GlrL George Biddle is a boy about 18 years old. Mrs. Louise Northrup who lives near the river has charge of his half-sister, a 4-year-old child. Last evening Biddle went to the woman's house and demanded the child. When Mrs. Northrup refused to give her up he grew demonstrative and attempt ed to take the girl by force. A scuffle en sued, duriug which the child was bruised considerably. Mrs. Northrup had Biddle arrested and he was fined $10 in police court this morning. HARRISON WOULD ACCEPT Judge Scott Says lie Wouldn't Engage in a Wild Scramble Though. Port Townsend, Wash., May 5. Judge Scott, brother-in-law'of Gen. Har rison, with whom he recently spent sev eral weeks in California, iivs: "The ex president expressed himself as not being a candidate ou the Republi can ticket in 1896. Mr. Harrison said the Republican nomination was equiva lent to an election, but on account of family afflictions, he was no: anxious to enter the contest for another term, although I believe if the nomination were tendered him he would accept. 'Gen. Harrison does not consider it dignifying or proper for an ex-president to engage in a wild scramble for office." THE DEATH RECORD.

FOR PEACE OR WAR? Mrs. Lease Talks on the Coxey Af fair at Washington TO A BIG AUDIENCE LAST EIGHT Which filled Representative Hall in Mpite or the Bain-She Takes Clem ens to Task for Ills fire Breathins Langaose, The large crowd assembled in Repre sentative hall last night came through rain and mud to hear the female Demos thenes of Kansas talk blood and thun der and in this they were disappointed. She was iust as virile (speaking ad visedly), just aa metaphorical as ever, but her flame-tipped tongue laid upon the shoulders of the men the blame of the Coxey movement and she invoked the aid of the women to call the white robed angel of peace once more upon earth. She made a woman suffrage speech and so it may be said that Mrs. Lease took the opportunity to open the campaign for woman suffrage. Captain E. S. Hunter of the home guards called the meeting to order after his guards had marched in with General Artz in the van carrying a large flag. They distributed themselves about the platform. D. I. Furbeck was elected chairman and calls were made for speak ers. It was a noticeable fact-that not a single state officer was present and for some time no one could be found to open the meeting, but General Artz was called upon and responded. He said: "We now send men to con gress to deliver our petitions in person and they are clubbed at the capitol steps and arrested for exercising the rights of American citizens. I defy any one to point out a thing that Coxev has done to provoke arrest Nothing will be done with Coxey. They simply want to crush out this movement of the -common peo ple,"but it can't be done. While the speaker was reading the Btory of a ghastly murder and suicide, caused by starvation, Mrs. Lease entered the hall, and his voice was drowned in a storm of applause, lie held the audience long enough to say that the time had come for the people to speak in tones of thunder, if necessary, against oppression and tyr anny. The chairman introduced Mrs. Lease as "the daughter of Kansas." She showed the effect of a long siege on the platform and was paler than usuaL An Appalling? Spectacle. "The year 1894," she said, "is still in its infancy, but it has already given to us the most appalling spectacle the world has ever known. We are in the midst of a revolution, peaceable as yet, but God knows how long it may remain so. This movement is world wide; everywhere there is discontent and dissatisfaction. Preparations are going on now which will change the entire map of Europe. They are preparing for the greatest war ever known, when, with new and cheap instruments of destruction, the whole country will be desolated and crowns will crumble in the dust. We hear the cry of 0,000,000 people in India, whom the baseness of England has robbed of their legitimate money silver. The cry of distress is going up from all nations and here in this land of plenty we hear the cry of starving mothers and helpless children. "there was a time when to be an American was greater than a king, and now we see an American citizen com pelled to take from the hand of idleness a little corn meal and a soup bone. We see a mighty army of unemployed marching to Washington to ask the people who have robbed them for 25 years for help. The Coxey movement has been compared to that of Peter the Hermit, when he led his forces to rescue the tomb of Christ from the hands of the Saracen.but this is a higher, holier move ment where relief is asked for millions of starving human beings. Peter failed in his mission and the tomb is still in the hands of the enemies the Saracens but with this army there is no such word as fail." She said that the present condition of things was brought about by Republican misrule. UI do not wish to defend Grover Cleveland, however," she continued, "the great smoke extinguisher of the nine teenth century the agent of British gold." The speaker then reached the subject of woman suffrage. She said: "We have never had a government of the people. We have had only a male oligarchy. You have tied woman's hands and now you have the car of progress side-tracked and are calling loudly for help, and God knows you need it. You ask what wo men know about the tariff? Well, they know as much about it as a good many men. They are not all like that woman who said in reply to a question 'What do I know about the taritf Why I know all about it; haven't all my family been down with it.' That is the way it is with the American people they are down with the tariff." Mrs. Lease then said that there was no longer any difference between the Re publican and Democratic parties. "They used to be divided on the whisky ques tion, but they are together on that." She talked about the preparations for war by federal and state authority: "Why even at the good old Methodist college of Baker down here they are training soldiers and educating the boys in arms. If there is a class of people who are a living lie it is these same preachers, who are advocating militia tactics in. our public schools. A'ou are telling the people how to die, but we want you to tell us how to live, and we can die without any trouble. You are praying, 'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,' for 864 days and the other day you go and vote for a living hell on earth. ot Petitions Hut Votes. "I would beg of you men of the indus trial army, to cease petitioning and vote. We don't want any bloodshed, and the man who orders out the militia will be branded for ages to come. If you can't right the wrongs without shedding of blood for God's sake go home and mind the babies, and we women wilL We believe war is unnecessary, and you need not ask us women to give up our loved ones to be food for bullets. I have passed through that once, and I had a father whose bones now lie on some Georgia slope he died in Ander sonville, I had two brothers, and one fell on the elippery slope at Fredericks burg and. the other before Richmond. No sir, you need not ask us women to 8-inctiona war, for we will not do it I believe that the industrial army foretells the mlllenium, when people shall walk in peace and happiness before the law, when want and poverty shall disappear, and when war and desolation shall be unknown: "When the war drum sounds no longer. And the battle nags are furled. In the parliament of men. The Federation of the world." Mr. Clemiai is Taken to Task. Mr. Clemens then made a long speech in which he said that the time had come for war and that the people had sub mitted longenough to tyranny and op pression., A motion was made to adopt the reso lutions and it received a prompt second. The resolutions were adopted without division. After the resolutions had been adopted Mrs. Lease was again called for. She at once denounced Clemens in a manner calculated to quench the fiery spirit of that warlike gentleman. "I don't believe in blood and thunder speeches nor do I believe in blood and thunder men and I want Mr. Clemens to hear that We once had a poli tician John J. Ingalls) in Kansas who always took occasion to talk of war, but when his record was investigated it was found that in all his war experience he only managed to court martial a chicken thief. I wonder if Mr. Clemens' record is like that "If Mr. Clemens would devote half the intellect and talent to supporting the true principles of the People's party that he does to mouthy vaporings on the nec essity of copious bloodshed, he would accomplish much more for humanity and preserve a better reputation for sanity and decency. Oh! this espousal of a no ble cause by men who see in it only an opportunity for notoriety and office. This-movement is right, and we must not make the mistake of turning it over to tritors, cowards and renegades." The meeting then adjourned. G. C. Clemen3 was next called for and he read the' following resolutions: The. Itesolulioua. Resolved, That the clubbing of Coxey and his associates was not for the protec tion of the national capitol nor for the purpose of enforcing a law; it was in tended as a demonstration to the prole taires of America that the plutocratic government is powerful enough and bru tal enough to compel the starving people to starve and die without a vigorous pro test It was American wealth throwing down the gauge of battle to the Ameri can people. The challenge was under stood and it will be answered. Resolved, That our present arrogant masters at Washington and elsewhere would do well to remember that York town came after Bunker Hill, and Appo matox after Harper's Ferry; and that the complete liberation of American work people may follow yet the conflict at the national capitol between the advance army of the unemployed and the star spangled policemen, whose business it is everywhere to keep men from employ ing themselves. The people have been driven from their capitol, but not for ever. They will return and purge the house and senate of the traitors to liber ty who now masquerade as representa tives of the people they club. "For freedom's battle, once begun. Bequeathed by bleeding sire to sou 'lho' buttled oft, is ever won." Resolved, That "the people" have not risen against law but against usurpation. The greatest violations of the law have been committed in the name of the law by the governors of Utah, Iowa and Ohio and by the authorities of the District of Columbia. Railroads have for years been setting the example of seizing rail road property and taking it from its rightful owners. Almost every railroad has been stolen from the people repre senting the industrial armies, and thieves cannot expect sympathy if the owners recover stolen property. And it is our opinion that whether railroad trains should be seized or not depends altogeth er on the question whether they can be retained after seizure and whether the armies have free transportation offered to them 'to Washington. Resolved, That we are not willing to mock men, who, with their wives and children, are starving today, by telling them to vote next November for a con gress next March, to make food possible next century. We insist that the people have a right to demand relief or abdica tion now. The voting can be done much better after relief shall have been ob tained. Resolved, That deplorable as must al ways be a conflict of arms, yet as com pared with the awful misery and carnage of every day life among the poor and the children of the poor in these times, the bloodiest war conceivable would be a white robed angel of peace. To talk peace is pusillanimous when every day, somewhere in this land, workingmen, aye, even workingmen, are trampled be neath the brutal troops of power; when police stations are armories and armories, forts. OUR GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. Mr. Clemens Doesn't Object to a Skilful I--i e. But Hates 3MtiiocrIly. To the Editor of the State journal. Sir: I wish to beg that every intelli gent lady or gentleman who attended the meeting at Representative hall last evening will find a copy of this morn ing's Capital and see how malice, aided by stupidity, builds public sentiment. The Capital's blundering, malicious re port is a sample of the sort of stuff which has created the impression where I am not known that I am a wild-eyed, dangerous, blood-thirsty, peripatetic arsenal; that I expectorate fire, and that to jostle me on the street might lead to a fearful explosion of the dynamite con cealed in my clothes. I find no fault with a liar, if he has skill in his art, but I dislike mediocrity in any profession, and I cannot endure stupidity. The Capital reporter ought to know that it is well known I am deaf, and that I was in blissful ignorance as to Mrs. Lease's remarks; and hence that they did not impair my health to the ex tent he suggests. I cannot learn from any one that Mrs. Lease said anything more than what was legitimate within the amenities of friendly and courteous debate.- But, if the Capital speak true and she used me all up, why, so could a discarded street-car mule. I care noth ing for that What I wish to do now is to call attention to the style of journalism in which the Capital indulges against people who dare have honest convictions. G. C. Clemens. CLEMEN9 A'I) MR?. LEASE, Be Says Mrs. Lean Is as Much an Anar chist as Be Is. "This Woman makes me tired," said G. C. Clemens to a State Journal re- Eorter this morning, in reference to Mrs. ease. Continuing he said: "This thfhg of climbing up on the scaffold and sacri ficing one's self in the interest of a cause, and then when the work is accomplished have some else step in and play for pub lic approval, is not what I like. Mrs. Lease comes in and talks about peace. That is a pretty spectacle, but she is simply working for the ducats there are in it "I have a letter from a friend of mine in Chicago who recently had an inter view with Mrs. Lease, in which she said she was just as much of an anar chist as he is. Then she told him that she did not talk quite as loud as he did for the simple reason that the people of western states were not yet ready for it. But she and I have always been the best of personal friends and it was just be cause Judge Doster and I were friends of hers that we refused to be drawn into her controversy with the governor. "The report of that meeting in this morning's paper is thickheaded,it doesn't tell what she said at all, but she has more reason to kick than any one else. Any person with any knowledge of Kansas affairs knows that what she said about courtmartialing a thief referred to Ingalls and what she said about me was perfect ly fair in a give and take debate." Mr. Clemens explained to the reporter that he -was just 12 years old when the war broke out and that he tried to run off with 110th Ohio volunteers but was ignominiously corralled and sent back home.
