Sanders' Industrial Army is Captured, And Brousrht Into Topeka at 1:15 Today. A Great Crowd is at the Depot TO SEE THEM COME. The Commonwealers Number About 400- And They Are in the Best of Spirits. THEY SING SONGS, Hang: Grover Cleveland on Top of Pikes Peak Is One of Them All Wear Red Iiadjres. The Men May Be Taken to Leavenworth. Scott City, Kan., May 11. General J. S. Saunders and" his army of com monwealers are in the hands of the law. The outfit surrenderea to United States Marshal S. F. ieely in the rail road yards in Scott City, which is 409 miles west of Kansas City, at 7 o'clock last evening-. No resistance was offer ed. The army will be taken to Topeka for trial for obstructing- United States mails. The men are g-ood natured, and the government officials do not expect further trouble. When Marshal Neely's train reached llealy, seventeen miles east of Scott City, a dispatch was handed Superin tendent Clark informing him that the commonwealers had pulled into Scott City, and upon learning that the track was torn up started back toward the Colorado line. An order was at once issued to have. the track at Scott City relaid, and General Attorney Wag-g-ener instructed his local attorney to institute proceedings in Scott county for the arrest of General Saunders" and his army for bringing stolen pro perty info the tate and have th sheriff and a posse at the depot, to meet the special trainL' The special ha'd' bee-n delayed at two or three places, but from llealy to Scott City it ran with the throttle of the locomo tive wide open. The special train arrived at Scott City at 5 o'clock and found a gang of men busily en staged in repairing the track. It took about forty minutes to complete the! work, but before the train was ready to pull out General Saunders' train was seen approaching in the distance. It had gone back to Modoc to allow the west-bound mail train to pass. Marshal Neely sta tioned his deputies about the special train, and he and General Attorney Waggener walked westward to the switch to meet the commonwealers. The stolen train stopped- at the switch and General Saunders alighted from the engine and walked rapidly toward the depot, accompanied by half a dozen of his men. lie was in tercepted by Marshal Xeely and Mr. Waggener. who stated to him their mission. Mr. Waggener, having- been sworn in as a deputy, read the writ to the general, who asked for thirty minutes to confer with his officers. The request was granted and botb sides withdrew to their respective trains. At the expiration of thirty minutes General Saunders appeared at the door of Superintendent Clark's special car, where Mr. Waggener was in waiting. The party had just finished supper, but the table was still stand ing and General Saunders was invited to eat. Ho accepted the invitation and proceeded to do justice to a square meal. After supper General Saunders and Mr. Waggener held a conference, and the leader of the commonwealers decided to turn the stolen train over to the Missouri Pacific railroad com pany and surrender the army to the authority of the government on a charge of obf-tructing the mails. The people of Scott City made up a purse and bought the commonwealers u cow for. their snpp?r. The animal was slaughtered and divided among the seven companies. The meat was broiled over camp fires and eaten with corTee and corn bread, which the local, committees donated. The stolen train vas divested of its commonweal decorations and side-tracked. The commonwealers were permitted to keep the large American flag which adorned the stolen locomotive. The principal officers of the army are General Saunders, Adjutant Gen eral Connelly and Colonel Murphy. General Saunders is a ungle man, 39 years old. He was born in Green county, Missouri. The army is fairly well drilled and disciplined. None of the men were armed but all carried clubs. In the meantime the commonwealers had gone into camp on some vacant lots near the stock yards. Mr. Wag gener, Marshal Neely and General Saunders visited the different com panies and the men were formally placed under arrest by the marshal, who made a speech informing- them that they would have to accompany their leader to Topeka. General Saunders assured each company that it was all right- The men cheered their commander to the echo. Armngetnents were then made to escort the ai.uy to Topjka, Thixo coachea were taken from the regular cast-bound passenper train and at tached to the Wag-g-ener special, which had two eitn coaches. These afford ed accommodation for the entire army, which numbered 451, actual count. tjeneral Kannders Talks. In a conversation General Saunders said: "We have not obstructed the mails, and I am very sure that the en tire, army will, be discharg-ed. We have made it a point to keep out of the way of mail trains, and when we arrived at Scott City and found a mail train heading1 toward us, Ave went back to Modoc to keep from obstruct ing it. We are law-abiding- citizens, and I can show when the hearing- comes up on the replevin action that we hart permission Pueblo. I to take an engine from Our men are laborers. lhere is not a professional tramp in the army. We submit to the mandate of the federal court because it is our duty as citizens to do so. I want to incidentally re 'mark that I offered Superintendent Clark S1.00O to haul the army from Pueblo to Kansas City, but he did not reply to my communication. But that is all right. We will reach Wash ington by June 2, aud assist in the demand for legislation in the interest of the common people." ABKIVAL OF THE TRAIX. An Immense Crow. I of Topeka People Meet Ilie Commonwealers. When the people of Topeka learned that Capt. Sanders .commonweal army was to be landed in Topeka today, the interest in the Cripple Creek miners was doubled. News reached the city this morning that the train in charge of B. P. Waggener, of the Missouri Pacific road, would arrive at 1:15 p. m. at the depot here, and was prompt ly bulletined on the fcTATK Journal's bulletin board. It rapidly spread over the city and an immense crowd of people gathered at the Missouri Pacific depot. All classes of people were represented in the throng. Gen. Artz came sailing down on his bicycle. G. C. Clemens was there. Chas. K. llolliday and Joseph G. Waters were among the spectators. Buggies and bicycles brought scores. When the train steamed iu tho crowd moved en masse down the yards to the passenger coaches which seemed to be boiling over with humanity. The commonwealers were hanging out of the car windows in bunches of three, cheering and waving hats aud handkerchiefs, some of the latter as black as the ground. They were dusty but in spite of their long ride appeared to be in the best of spirits. There was some delay before the car doors were un locked and the Topeka people gathered just outside the cars. "We haven't had anything- to eat Bince 4 o'clock this morning," said one of the men. "We'll get plenty to eat when we get to Washington," said another. "Three cheers for Coxey and Sanders," cried a man in one of the cars, aud they were given with a, long whoop at the end. A minute later another carload started up with, a parody i John Brown's Body, in which the refrain was "Hang Grover Cleveland on Top of Pikes Peak." This was greeted with cheers by the crowd on the outside. Ilie Men in Gray Spirit. They chaffed and talked with the men. all of whom seemed to be just-ordinary workingmeu. Tere were only one or i two who looked like bums. Most of them are young men under thirty-five years and all of them are in the best of spirits, laughing aud talking. On each man's breast was a red silk badge bearing the words "Cripple Creek Legion Coxey In dustrial Army." Some of the men asked for a 'chew of tobacco," which was handed up to them and received with thanks. In one of the cars was J. M. Wiley of Topeka, who was one of the deputies. Somebody in the crowd veiled out, "Hello, Wiley, where did they grinned and said, get your" Wiley Oh, they got me out west. The crowd of people rapidly increased in size. Hundreds of people came pour ing into the yards from every street. The viaduct under which the rear of the train stood was black with people. The only flags in sight were the two green flags on the engine. The commonweal has a number of American flags with them and banners bearing the following devices: I GIVE CS THE FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAOE OF SILVER. ON TO WASHINGTON. PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARD I MEN, BUT DKATU I I TO ISTEHKST BEARING BONDS. They W Hut Tobacco. About the first thing the industrialists vould ask for when tiiey stopped was tobacco. They wanted to see a morning paper. "We want to see what we've been doing." The men said they had not been ted since their capture and that they were pretty hungry. "We've a ban quet wailing for you at the state house grounds," callad an enthusiastic sympa thizer, and a cheer went up from the in dustrialists within hearing. "Say, pard, is this Topeka?" asked a crusader with a face as brown as leather, to the one in the next seat. "1 reckon it is." "Is this whar Governor What's-his-name lives?" "It must be." "Then I reckon they won't keep us here long." v The men are a jolly set and there is no ill-nature among them, although hunger is not commonly conducive to good cheer. There is a banjo in one of the cars and the idle time since the start seems to have been consumed in com posing verses to well known songs ex pressive of their contempt for Giover Cleveland and his administration. The banjo song artist amused the crowd wUh a selection one verse of which runs as follows: One or the Soari. Oh, we're going to Buzzard's Bay, Oh we're i:omg lo Buzzard's Bay; If Cleveland is there "We'll kick him in the air. Oh, UogKOU lueo rniy times" The reader will readily see that the last line doesn't rhyme, but this doesn't spoil the effect. A storm of applause from the assem bled spectators greeted this somewhat unique bit of comedy and there were calls for more and a dozen verses were improvised seemingly on the spar of the moment. One would start the song and as one line wu repeated over and over again the rest easily caught on. At one time another car load joined in singing a series of sentiments derisive of Cleveland. Of course their lines were repeated several times, to the tune of "We'll hang Jeff Davis," as was also the first line of the other part, which began, "Oh, we're all boys from Colorado," and ended, "Our Good Old Mountain Home." One funny fellow with a waxed mus- tacne stood up in one car and announced i iiatt iviuucr is now waning m iud uiu- ing car,'- and the- orders for "quail on toast" and "a little beefsteak with a couple of eggs" were numerous. Fun prevailed and the men generally regard the matter of the arrest as a huge joke on "Graver's brave men." "One man could have arrested us as easily as a thousand, though there were only thirty-seven," said a good looking young recruit. "We made no resistance." A TALK WITH GEX. SANDKKS. lie Says They're Going to Washington, as n Xjivlufr rrotsst. General- John Sherman Sanders and his Cripple Creek industrial army aa prisoners of war, who arrived in Topeka this afternoon, are contented and happy in their present imprisonment. A State Jouksal reporter talked with General Sanders in General Attorney Waggener's special car immediately on the arrival of the train. General Sanders is a good looking young man, dressed in a good suit of I clothes aud a pair of corduroy leggings, j but he had not shaved for a day or two, I and his shirt was not fresh from the laundry. He apologized for his dirty shirt and t,aid: "This shirt is n little j soiled, but this railroadiug is dirty busi I ness aad is hardly wnat it is sometimes j cracked up to be," and the "general" i smiled. I "Continuing he said: "My full name is j John Sherman Sanders. Not the SUer-' man who marched lo the sea or the John j Sherman of single gold standard fame, j but John Strtnau Sanders, who believes j in silver aud a double standard." j "What are your present plans?" "We started for Washington and we are going there I can tell you. VVp ap preciate the kindness of the government i iu assisting us- on our journey thus far. They have been very kind lo us," and he looked at Balie Waggener with a twinkle in his eye. VVe left Cripple Creek a week ago Tuesday with seven companies, aud left Pueblo Monday night with eight com panies, having enlisted an additional company there. "W'-e have had remarkably pleasant trip considering everything. The most diffi cult obstruction we had to pass was at Chiviiifrton and that was a bad one. They had put a big engine square across the track aivd a big freigiit car was planted on each side of it, but we got around all right, lhe last obstruction we went around in just thirty minutes and built a long stretch of track. "Whitt the men are most interested in just nciw is getting something to eat. They had a light breakfast of eggs aud meat at Hoisiugton at 3:30 o'clock this morning. Last night at supper we had fresh beef. A cow was run into camp and in not to exceed thirty minutes it minutes it had been butchered, cooked and eaten. Our meu appreciate a good thing." In regard to the regulations of the armv General Sanders said: "First of all we have discipline; our regulations pro vide for the enforcement of our orders. We do not allow firearms in camp aud you will not find a guu of any kind among the men. Drunkenness is strictly forbidden and we have since leaving Cripple Creek had two trials by court martial and have drummed two men out of camp for violating orders." General Sanders says his home is at Spokane, Wash., although he has been at Crippie Creek for several years. He has been a miuer all his life and has during the last thirteen years worked all over the west in various mining camps. He says that the report sent out that his men are mostly Mexi cans is false; that there are but two Mexicans in tho army and they were both born in the United States. The. general has been riding in Balie Waggener's private car all the way from Scott City and shortly after the train was side tracked here, Mr. Waggener invited him out to dinner while the yard master was instructed not to move the car while they were at dinner. Balie Waggener, the Missouri Pacific official, who is responsible for the men being arrested and brought to Topeka, said: "I am going to Atchison at 4:4J. 1 don't know what is to be done with these men, they are in charge of the United States marshal and he is looking after them." TO CAMP AT STATE HOUSE. Gov. Lwellinjr Gives Perm tsslon for Com monwealers to Camp on Capitol Groan. 1ft. At 10:30 thi3 morning Governor Lew elliag received the following telegram: Ox the Road at Allen, May 11, 1894. Hon. L. D. Jewelling: Will arrive at Topeka at 1 p. m. with General Sanders' army of four hundred industrials. Will you permit them to go into camp at the state house yards? XX MT. AGGENEn. 7 Permission Given. The executive council was called to gether and after a conference the fol lowing telegram was sent: Topeka, Kansas, May 11, '94. B. F. Waggener: Permission is given for Sanders' army to camp at the capitol grounds. L. D. Lewelling, R.. S. Osbors, .Governor. Secretary Executive Council. MAI GO TO LEAVENI) ORTlt. Marshal Keely Aiki Attorney General Olney for Advice. Marshal Neely and Commissioner Wagener this morning sent a lengthy telegram to Attorney General Olney at Washington giving a detailed statement of the industrial army case and recom mending that they should be taken to the military reservation at Ft Leaven worth, because there is not sufficient jail capacity at Topeka, and at the reservation the men pan be better fed and kept under more strict surveillance. They urged permission to take the prisoners to Leav enworth' on the ground of "necessity and discipline.'.' No reply had been received to this telegram up to 3 o'clock, but both the marshal and Waggener expect a favor able reply from Attorney General Olney by supper-time. Attorney Bailey Wag gener will return to Atchison at 4:30. A SCENE AX THE CARS. Frank Herald Offers Uas Card mntl Ser- viost lo Sautters. When the commonweal train stopped in Topeka today Sanders was standing on the platform of Balie Waggener's private car alongside of United States Marshal Neely. G. C- Clemens, Frank Herald, Sanitary Sergeant Hudson. ex-Adjutant General Artz, Captain Hunter and the Home Guards ail crowded about the platform and inquired which was General Sand ers. A newspaper man pointed out the officer, but United States Marshal Neely whlsperefl to Sanders: "I don't want those fellows up here, and you had bet ter gd-back'in the car forawhile." San ders said "all right" and started back. When General Sanders was back in Waggener's car talking to a State Journal reporter the local sympathizers crowded around the window and Frank Herald handed in his card saying: "Gen eral Sanders you have lots of friends here and we are all at your service. There is plenty of legal help here." General Sauders thanked them and said he was not afraid but what he would fiud fenough friends. He said he was satisfied the charges against them of ob structing the United States mail would not stick. "We are not guilty," he said, "of any of the charges filed against us." Pl'EBLO FUBLIC OPINION. The Imparling; Paper There Speaks Editor ially of the industrial. The Pueblo Chieftain of May 10 says editorially: "Well, the Cripple Creek contigent of the Coxey army has come andgoue with out any marked effect upon Pueblo or her people. While here the men be haved themselves as well as any body of similar size composed of people gathered in a like manner could be expected to do, except iu the matter of the seizure of the railroad train which carried them east. While the army was the guest of the city its members were boarded, as it was proper tuey should be, at the public j expense, every taxpayer thus being ouwgou to pay nis snare, outrioutions from private individuals, save in the way of talk, which an old saw says "butters no parsuips," were few and far between. The board furnished by the city was not of an epicurean variety but it was whole some aud there was enough of it to sup port life. "Of course -while there is a wide differ ence of opinion among our people regard ing this movement all must lament the cxistauce of conditions which serve to "r-ring about such gatherings and force a portion of the workingmen of the coun try tolay aside their pride and self respect and become objects of public charity. Such a condition of affairs was never be fore known in the United States, and all g-ood citizens will unite in the hope that it may never exist again. "Whether the march of the army of the unemployed upon Washington will pro duce, any effect upon Congress or upon the welfare of those for whose benefit the movement was ostensibly inaugura ted remains to be seen. Time alone will tell. Pueblo bids the parting guests god -speeds" K1IWARD WILDER'S VIEWS. Says Topeka Ho Enough Unemployed of Her Own to Care lor. The Santa Fe officials are resting se cure in their belief that General Sanders and his Cripple Creek commonwealers have too much good sense to attempt to go out of Topeka on their road, which is in the hands of receivers of the United States court. General Manager J. J. Frey, who is now in New Mexico, said a few days ago when the industrials were at Pueblo, that he was prepared for them if they should attempt to travel out of Colorado over the Santa Fe. The officials at the general office building are consequently not borrowing any trouble over the prospects. Mr. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Santa Fe,who is also one of the managers of the Associated Charities when seen by a Statk Journal reporter said: "It strikes me that these people are in great luck in getting transportation in a pas senger train from Scott City to Topeka free of charge and have provision made for their meals. They must be enjoying this free ride. I don't understand what will be done with the men when they are brought here although they will no doubt be tried on the charge of bringing stolen property into the state and for ob structing United States mails. "I am not in sympathy with this move ment, it seems to me they are doing more injury to the cause of labor every day than can be estimated." "Will the Associated Charities take any action towards feeding these men or will the society take some action towards preventing them from being stopped here?" asked the reporter. "We will net give them a meal nor furnish one dollar towards their enter tainment. I think I know Rev. B. L. Smith, president of the society, well enough for that. As to what will be done towards seeing that they are not unloaded on the city and Shawnee county I cannot tell." "It would be an injustice to our own unemployed and would be putting a premium on this kind of business for us to feed them. If this county was in a position to furnish them some class of work which our own men could not do, such as building roads or bridges, it might do to give them work at say fiftYj cents a day, just enough to keep them alive, but it would be wrong to pay them the same wages our own men receive. I am sure 1 don't know what will be done with them should they be unloaded here." WHAT KIND OF MEN THEY ARE. Honest. Hard-Working- Fellowi One a Doctor, Another m School Teacher. F. L. Vandegrift. correspondent of the Kansas .City Star, who waa on the com- monweal train, says that one can not go among Sanders' commonwealers without being- impressed with the intelligence of the. men. Sanders himself is a Missou rian by birth, but came from San Fran cisco recently to Cripple Creek. He is an electrician by trade, and is -a well informed man. Among the men is a school teacher, another one is a doctor, there are two paper hangers, a book keeper and half a dozen store clerks. The majority of the men are honest, hardworking mechanics and miners.who have lost their situations in Colorado through hard times. STATE MO USE DIHAPPOINIEU Became the Commonwealers Were Not Immediately Marched to the Square.. About noon G. C. Clemens, Frank Her- I aid and- others were in conference with the governor aud other state officers in j relation to the arrival of the Coxey ites. The question was discussed from a polit- ical standpoint. i Attorney General Little waa asked j what he thought of the detention of the j men: "I don't know what the charge is j upon which the men are held, and I would rather not give an opinion. They 1 may be held for interfering with, the j mails, but I do not understand how they i can be held on any other charge by the United States authorities." j All the clerks in the state house gath- j ered on the steps and awaited the ar- i j rival of the men. One of them wonder- ed what they would be fed upon and waa j told that the Populist office holders ware j expected to furnish food. All were dis- i appointed when the report was circulated j that the men might not be taken out of i the cars and that they might be carried over to Leavenworth. j SANDEKS IS PHOTOGRAPHED. Comes to the Rear of the Car and Speeches Are Called For. At 2 o'clock this afternoon' General Sanders came out on the back platform of Waggener's private car and a photo grapher took his picture. A large crowd, gathered, and soon cries of "Speech!" "Speech!" were given. General Sanders bowed and said: "I would like to speak to you, but I am under arrest and in charge of the United States marshal, and am afraid I would not have the right to." An old man in the crowd yelled, "God bless you." There was some cheering. JUDGE FOSTER ON THE AFFAIR. Says There's No Case Against the Mn in the Federal Court. Federal Judge C. G. Foster was seen this noon at his home, 1035 Harrison street,, by a Journal reporter. Judge Foster does not read the morning paper aDd did not know the "wealera" had been captured. "This is a very serious state of affairs," the judge observed. "If these are all honest men out of employment it indi cates a very grave wrong somewhere. But if these men who are stealing- traitis are not willing to work they should be dealt with by a very strong hand. "The stealing of a train and bringing stolen property into the state, these offenses alone, 'do' not constitute any cause of. action in a federal court. It belongs to the state courts. In order to have the case come within the jurisdic tion of the federal courts the men must have interfered with the United States mails or violated the interstate commerce law or some other act of congres. I don't know whether the case will come before me or not. 1 hope not in my present condition. They must first be given a preliminary hearing by United States Commissioner Wagener as in any other criminal case. If they are bound over to my court they must give bond for their appearance or go to jail. It is possible that the case may come before me on application of the men for writs of habeas corpus to secure their release." CLEM ENS' SERVICES OFFERED. He Will Take the Case of the Co mm on wealers if Nesd Be. G. C. Clemens, "champion of the op pressed" and general solicitor -of those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, today told a Journal reporter that he was willing to volunteer his profes sional services free of charge to the Coxeyites who may be prosecuted on any criminal charge. "I am willing to take their case," he said, "because ther e is no ground upon which they cai be triei' in a federal court. They have not delayed one par cel of mail. If any mail has been ob structed the railroad company are-the ones who have done it, aud they are the once who ought to go to jaiL But of course they won't be prosecuted jails were not built for railroad men. "Kansas is a sovereign state and the federal government has no authority on earth to interfere in this matter," THE CHARGE AGAINST BANDERS Will Be Given Their Hearing Before U. 8. Commissioner Wagoner. United States Commissioner E. A. Wagener is the one before whom J. S. Sanders and his 500 followers will be given their preliminary heating. Gen eral Manager II. G. Clark of the Mis souri Pacfic is the complaining witness against the accused men, and the war rant waa issued by E. A Wagener. A copy of it is as follows: "iL G. Clark of lawful age, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that J. S. Sanders, John Doe, Richard Roe and five hundred othera whose true and full names are unknown, did on or. about the 10th day of May, 1894, at the county of Scott, state of Kansas, in the district aforesaid, unlawfully, knowingly and willfully obstruct and retard the Missouri Pacific Railroad company, a corporation and common carrier, then and there as such engaged in carrying United States mail through tne state of Kansas under its contract with the United States government.

He will probably be able to give bond, but tho men will not. "They will t.o given their preliminary hearing next Monday or Tuesday," Mr. Wageaer says.

May 11. Hon. William Owens, Col. Breckinridge's opponent, ir to speak in Lexington some day next week, not yet decided upon. The women of this country have conceived the idea of emphasizing their protests against Breckinridge' can didacy by personally joining in making this meeting a big ovation for Owen. The eight boxes at the opera house are to be filled witth represen tative women of the Blue Grass region, who have heretofore taken no public in terest in politics, and the body of the house will have large delegations of women. It is possible the action of tho women may result in turning the meet ing1 into a popular protest against Breck inridge's candidacy rather than straight out Owens meeting. The women are so thoroughly aroused that they are withdrawing patronage from merchants favorable to Col. Breck inridge and in tieveral instances old fam ily physicians have been dismissed !e caose of their sympathy' for the Ashland district congressman. The bitterness is growing every day.

STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY E7EXIN"G. MAT.ll, 1894 LIKE JESSEJAMES. .Missouri Bank Robbed In-Broad Daylight, By Seven Men Armed With Winchesters. FOUR CITIZENS SHOT. The Bobbers Got Four Thousand Dollars. Noei,, Ma, May 11. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon seven men armed with Winchesters and revolvers rode into Southwest City, Mo., and robbed the bank, petting1 all the money the bank contained, between $3,000 and $4,000. They evidently came from the Territory and were experts, as they did the job in a very business like manner. Two of them were sta tioned on the outside and three en tered the bank with a sack and two others guarded the horses. About 100 shots were fired by the robbers and four of the best citizens were badly wounded. J. C. Seabourn and O. L. Seabourn were both shot through the groin; Mart Pembree, leg broken by a bullet; S. F. Melton, United States marshal, received a fiesh wound in the leg. The robbers were about ten minutes going1 through the bank, afterward mounted their horses and started for the na tion at full speed. As they were leaving the outskirts some one fired several shots at them, killing a horse and wounding a rob ber, but it is not known how badly he was hurt. He immediately secured another horse from a farmer who was passing1 and followed his pals. No resistance was offered by the citizens. The wounded men were shot while standing on the sidewalk. A posse was made up and have started in pursuit. But the robbers have a good start and will likely get away. Tbe First Paragraph of the Schedule Reached Patton 8 worn In. Washixgto.v, May 11.

He had no intention, he said, of complet ing the speech he beran on April 30. At 4 o'clock he completed the section of his speech the public printer desired to print, and after the ab sentees had been brought back to the chamber by a' call of the senate, Mr. Dolph got the floor. At 5:10 o'clock the house resolu tions on the death of Representative Brattan of Maryland were presented. Appropriate resolutions offered by Mr. Gibson were adopted by the sen ate.

It is now the purpose of Senator Harris to introduce the motion during the morning hour to-day.

The Democrats are united and have a working majority, and as soon as that fa; is made plain the Republicans will not delay action merely for the sake of delay. In fact, it will not do. The peo ple are getting very impatient and are tak ing unusual notice of every act that looks like delay." Judfe Holman'j Views. "But is it not true that there is always a great popular clamor about this time of year for congress to hurry up, and is not the president usually most unpopular at about this time in his administration?" ''Oh, yes; that is the common experi ence, though there aro really unusual and very urgent reasons for tlie impatience of tho people just now. Of all the presidents in my time Air. Lincoln waa the most un popular in the early part- of hia adminis tration, although General Grant had two bad spells, as we say in Indiana. There waa something very curious about that. He suffered the usual storm of criticism while the offices were being given out, then got over it, was re-elected and reached his worst stage of unpopularity in his sec ond term." 'At what time in Lincoln's administra tion do you think he was most unpopu lar?" "About the time Secretary Cameron went out of the cabinet all the evils seem ed to come at once unsuccessful war, heavy taxation, disappointed office seekers and blundering all around. There was a time, it seemed to me, when the war Dem ocrats were the only unwavering support ers Mr. Lincoln had. A great deal of that was due t Secretary Chase, whom we re garded as the brainy man of tho cabinet, and who was a real and practical civil service reformer. He maintained that un der the peculiar circumstances every loyal and efficient Democrat in office should be retained. You can imagine what a storm that raised at a time when the present civil service system was scarcely thought of and a new party had just come in, with thousands of men hungry for the spoils. Many things occurred which have never got into history, and one little episode in Secretary Cameron's career is worth relat ing even now. He appointed a newspaper man as a sort of general agent at Xew York and intrusted him with, if I re member rightly, about $280,000. The man was honest enough, I suppose, but had no business ability, made all sorts of queer and useless purchases, mixed up tho gov ernment money with his own and drew on it at random for the expenses of his pa per. Tho natural result was a considerable loss to the government at a time whtAi we needed every dollar. An Interesting; Episode. ''Well, there was a committee appointed by the house, consisting of Mr. Dawes, Mr. Washburn, Mr. Cox, myself and some others, and wo reported a strong resolution condemning the secretary. When Mr. Cameron entered tho senate, he made it the business of his life to get that resolu tion expunged, and h had what might be called his regular agent in a member of the house. Year after year that member worked at it till there were, I believe, but three or four of us left who had anything to do with it, and we finally consented to the expunging resolution. The old man came in from the senate and shook hands with several whom he had not epoken to for years, and when he came to Mr. Cox and me lie broke down and cried I will not say cried like a child, but the tears flowed freely. He was very much affected, and, as I said in advocating the expunging resolution, I think his action had been merely a mistake caused by tho general hurly burly of the -times. After Mr. Cam eron left the cabinet Mr. Lincoln began to gain, slowly at first and afterward more rapidly, until he became the idol of the people. How far public opinion will react in the case of Mr. Cleveland it i3 of coxirse impossible to say, but it is certain that a president is at his worst in the second year of his administration, and the chances are always 10 to 1 that the party in power will lose heavily at the middle term elec tion. To this general loss must this year be added the losses caused by tho hard times, and so, as -1 have been urging for some time, it is highly important for us to get away from here early, and I am now satisfied we shall do so. "An 111 Wind," Etc. Coxey has done one good thing for Wash ington anyhow, though he did not intend it. When he pitched his camp in south Washington, many of tho elite rode down to take a look at it and came back holding their noses. It is jocularly asserted that some of the ladies on their return had their carriages sprinkled with cologne and their clothing disinfected. The general exclamation was, ''Great heavens, do hu man beings actually live in that neighbor hood all summer?" And when it was an swered that they did there was a loud cry for improved sewerage anda general clean ing up. When Coxey's men had got about half the garbage removed from the lot and the rest well stirred up, there carao an av erage rain, and after It the sun came out os hot as on an ordinary June day in the latitude of New York. Several men swore they could smell the camp from the south windows of the capitol, and one of the col ored citizens of the vicinity gave this em phatic testimony: 'W'en de wedder does dat enray down roun hyar. dey am' no lib bin fit fo' man er beeses. De sun jess cook up all de dirt an crupshun, an no man er 'oman midder ain' nebber eperunced whut er bad smell is till dey smells roun 'bout hyar In sect time like dat. Dese hyar white fellers is goin ter have wun mon strous hard time ob hit w'en de sun shine agia, an yer better mock whut I tells yer." Of course the health officials had to move pretty lively, and all kinds of organiza tions here be .ran to send warnings to their fellows elsewhere to stop every movement in this direction. It is now confidently predicted that no more armies of alleged industrials will reach here. The working men and railroad men are particularly em phatic on that point. MEETING AT COURT HOUSE To Be Held For the Purpose of liaising There will be a meeting at the court house tonight to consider the problem of the unemployed. This was agreed on at a meeting at the state house this morn ing. The Coxeyites have been given permission by the governor to camp on the state house grounds. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs was to have ad dressed a meeting this' morning on the "Coxey Movement," but before she began a telegram was received by Gov ernor Lewelling from Bailey Waggener, counsel for the Missouri Pacific road, saying that he was en route on a train containing 412 industrials from Colorado, who would reach Topeka about 1:3 J, and asking permission to camp on the state house grounds. Mrs. Diggs and others, including the governor, Secretary Osborn and Supt. Gaines, assembled in the governor's office in conference. Mrs. Diggs was chosen chairman and Mrs. Grace G. Potts secretary. Among others who were present were Mrs. Dr. McLallin. wife of the editor of the Advocate, and Mrs. Otis, wife of the ex-congressman. It was suggested that the governor re ply to the dispatch and say that the Coxeyite3 were welcome to Topeka, but must keep off the grass. This was said in fun, but it was feared that the des patch would be misunderstood; so the governor simply replied by saying that they could camp on the grounds. The following call for a meeting was then drafted: "A meeting of citizens of Topeka, re gardless of politics, will be held tonight at the court house to consider of the unemployed who are on their way to the national capital. Ten of these calls were then quickly circulated over the city and promptly re ceived many signatures of men of all politics. WHAT THE HOME GUARD WILL DO. Will Join the Police in Suppressing; Any Lawlessness. Elmer S. Hunter, the captain of the "Home Guard" of sympathizers with the commonweal movement, was seen this morning on the roof of Jasper Earnest's house on Quincy street, where the young militiaman waa engaged in his occupa tion of a tinner. Hunter said: "I will quit work at noon and muster as many of the members of the home guard as I can get together, aud meet the prisoners at the depot. I can soon size them up by the looks of the gang whether they are honest men or not. If they appear to be such, we will see that the men do not suffer for anything to eat." "But supposing," said the reporter,' "that the prisoners should not be as nice as you expect, and should try to plunder the town. What would the home guard do then?" "We would do what the name implies." We will protect the homes and join the police and the sheriff iu suppressing any lawlessness or disorder. "It seems to me these men are not all miners as the dispatches would 'indi-; cate. There must be a large number of experienced railroad men with them. A miner couldn't run an engine and not blow it up, and nobody but men ex perienced in such matters could build around the wrecks and take engines out of the ditches." Goin; E ist in Squads. Portland, Ore., May 11. Portland's Coxey army which a week ago contained 600 men, has dwindled away and today it numbers less, than forty. They are scattered along the Union Pacific in small squads between this city and Utah riding on freight trains whenever the opportunity is afforded. iTphci I Fever Breaks Oar. Washington, May 11. Typhoid has developed among Coxey's men and the entire camp is in a state of alarm and of great agitation. The army is dwind ling, owing to desertions, and discontent is increasing. ANOTHER TICKET. The fifth Ward Central Committee Makes a Statement. The bloody Fifth ward will have a free for all at the primary tomorrow. It seems that some of the men in the ward were over anxious to go to the conven tion, and without even suggesting to the central committee that they desired a caucus, started out to get a packed cau cus, when the people who wanted to see fair play turned out and snowed them under; being indifferent who went to the county convention, provided that they were instructed for governor. The cen tral committee published a call and the" following names were presented for dele gates and alternates and are entitled to equal consideration and will be voted for tomorrow: DELEGATES.

LOOKED LIKE GOLD. But It Was Only a Lot of Campaicn Badges. New York. May 11 Workmen tear ing down a rear two story building near the northwest corner of 23rd and Fourth avenue, were greatly excited when a shower of what looked like gold eagles fell upon them from among the timbers, work was suspended and there was a general scramble for the treasure. It was soon found, however, that the shining discs were not coins. They were campaign badges of a generation ago. They were tokens worn by Lincoln men and McClellau men in 1864 and em blems of the Grant and the Seymour followers in 1868. Altogether, there were about 50,000 of them. Some of them had tiny likenesses of the nominees in whose honor they were worn and others had devices which would stir the blood of old time politici ans who had long ago forgotten them.

NEWS OFJCAIISAS. i s Sensational Tar and Feathering at Brookville, On Account of an Unwholesome Scandal There. OTHER STATE NEWS. Clever Pension Fraud Discov ered at Leavenworth. SALiNA,May 11., The Republican gives an account of a sensational tar and feath ering that occurred at the little town of Brookville in this county, and has just come to light It says: For some time a scandal has been con necting the name of Harry King and a Mrs. Hall of Brookville. The scandal grew so openthat it caused a separation between the womau and her husband. King and the wonwu became very un popular and the community became greatly stirred up. The woman became frightened and fled, but King tarried. Wednesdays morning at about 7 o'clock a jury of twelve men visited Mr. King. They brought along a bucket of tar aud a pillow full of feathers. King's clothes were taken off by the jury and a coat of tar and feathers applied to his legs. Then the jury spread on a heavy fleece of feathers, and led him down the street and out to the suburbs of the village. One of the jury gave King his trousers while another gave him free advice about his longevity, in that community. The jury then left the young man alone with his fine feathers. The matter has created a decided breeze in the village and it is expected that King will cause some trouble. He is of a pugnacious disposi tion, and, it is believed, will resent the liberties taken with him. AT HOCH'8 HOME. Marlon County Itnpublicans nthnlastlc al 1 y Eadorne ilocli for Governor. Marion, May 11. At the Republican county convention held in this county the foilowiug delegates were elected to the state Republican convention: J. W. Moore, W. T. Heblitzell, J. S. Dean, It T. Beatty, S. F. Sackett, Brown Corby, O. Jolliff, George S. Hague, Frank Day, John Downs, H. M. Thorpe, S. L. Bill ings. The convention adopted the subjoined resolution endorsing Hoch for governor and expressing its views on national is sues: Resolved, That we most earnestly en dorse the candidacy of our fellow citi zen, Hon. E. W. Hoch, for governor of the state of Kansas and we, his neigh bors and friends who have known him longest and best, gladly embrace this op portunity to reccommend him to the Republicans of the state at large as a worthy, consist ent, clean, enthusiastic and able representative of our party. We believe that with him as the standard bearer in the coming campaign, the Republican party would achieve a signal and decisive victory. We therefore direct the dele gation elected today to attend the state Republican convention to support his candidacy in every honorable way. Resolved, That we pledge anew our devotion to National Republican princi ples as enunciated in the Minneapolis platform, and as exemplified by the feally of action as well as profession, led by its exponents our last and our next president Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley. Resolved, That great as are these national issues, we declare, however, that in this state, this year, the para mount issue is the redemption of Kansas from the domination of the socialists in theory and auarchists in practice, who, having first delude an honest following, have trampled upon law, outraged majorities, defied the courts;- filled the offices with incompetent and bad men, mismanaged the state institutions, para lyzed business, and damaged the reputa tion of Kansas morally and materially at home and abroad. To wrest our beloved state from the clutches of a party bad alike in theory and practice, we believe to be the supreme issue. And to this patriotic work we invite the co-operation of every honest man, regardless of past political affiliations. BLOODIUIKSlf SUM AX. Indiana Miyor-Elect Sat on by Secretary Oreliam aui Guv. Mitthewi. Valparaiso, Ind., May 11. Gen. I. C. B. Suman, mayor-elect of Valparaiso, is an avowed enemy of the Coxey move ment. He was one of the Valparaiso committee which went to Hobart Friday and made speeches to Gen. Randall's men, advising them to disband. He has preceded the army to Westville, and also attempted to make a speech there, while the men were in camp, but they refused to listen to him. In a letter to Mayor Scott, of La Porte, where Randall was arrested, he has divided .Randall's army into three classes, dangerous auarchists, socialists, and lazy, shiftless, go easy fel lows, who care for nobody but self. He says the movement will reach its climax in some small, defenseless village, and will breed discontent, disease and blood shed. The members of the baud he scribes as wild visionary Prendergasts. He wired Secretary of State Gresham and asked if the government had not reached some conclusions in this move ment. Following is a copy of the reply sent him: "Gen. Suman, Valparriso, Ind :Federal government no authority- to arrest or oth erwise interfere as you suggest. W. Q. Gresham. Then he wired to Gov. Matthews and asked .for -100 rifles for one disbanded company of the Third regiment, in charge of Col. G. S. Haste. The weapons were not to be unboxed except in case of emergency and were to be returned as soon as Randall's army was out of the country. The governor refused to com ply with Gen. Sumin's request. His answer was as follows: "Cannot comply with your request Can send sufficient force in three hours when emergency requires. Home au thorities must act first. Claude Mat thews."

ONE MAN I1KKU TWO PENSION'S. j How An 0 1 l Colored Man at Laafon I worth Dofr.iuilod tha Ouvxrmnent. i Lkavknwortu, May 11. The postal j authorities in this city uncovered a smooth pension fraud. A middle-aged I colored man was receiving a pension of $'4 a month under tho name of Peter Gillespie, and another pension f $1:2 a month under the alias of John 1L 'Brown. This ho has been doing for the last three years, without attracting suspicion. Yesterday a letter containing, a pension check to Gillespie was delivered to him by a mail carrier at his home. This morning he called at the post office gen eral delivery for a pension letter for J. H. Brown, when a new clerk, who was at the window, would not give it to him without identification. While talking about identification the mail carrier ap peared and told of giving him the Gil lespie pension letter. On being questioned by Postmaster Ritchey he acknowledged getting the two pensions, and said he was in the war twice, once under his old master's name and once under his father's name. He claimed that he was entitled to two pen sions. Two special pension examiners, stationed here, were notified. THE PEN COAL. Contract for Entire Output of tlia Mines i Awarded. Leavenworth, May 11. Bids for the output of the Kansas penitentiary coal mine has been opened by Warden Chase and the contract for the year commenc ing June 1 and ending May 31, 1S9.", was awarded to O. S. Hiatt, who now has it, at $1.60 per ton for lump and grate, 75c for nut, (35c for pea and 5c for slack. This bid was about 10c higher than any other received, and a little more than the present price. By the terms of the contract Hiatt has to take 50,000 bushels j monthly during April, May, June and i July, 75,000 during August, and the en tire output of the mine after state institu tions are supplied during the remainder of the year. Owing to strikes of miners in the neighboring states there is a big demand for coal from Leavenworth, and the penitentiary, along with otheimines Is being run to its fullest capacity. Counterfeiter Convicted. Ft. Scott, May 11. In the case of the United States against Day of Coffeyville, charged with using the United States mails to procure counterfeit money, the jury of the United States court brought in a verdict of guilty. The judge fined the offender $100 aud costs, which will make the total about $195. TO BUILD AT ONCE. Shawnee County Sells the Courthouse Hondt. The state school fund commissioners this afternoon bought the Shawnee county courthouse bonds, $125,000, at par. It is worthy of note that these bonds drawing four per cent interest are the lowest interest bearing bonds ever sold by Kansas. The security is gilt edged of course but it is a source of much pride to all concerned that they have been so well placed. Contractor George Evans, of the firm of F. L. Stephenson Co., said to a re porter this afternoon: "The sale is a credit to the county commissioners and to tho state. We will begin the work of building the new court house at once and will break ground next week. This improvement will give work to 200 men. WORK COMMENCED.

Whatever may be thought of the nerve of the Colorado industrial army it will be admitted that it had its back-up. Congressman O'Neill probably thought that as he was taking the place of Mr. Joy the proper thing to do was to get jolly. It seems a pity there are so many men hunting work in the country when they might come to Topeka and work on the woolen mill. From the number of fires in Topeka last night it would appear that Secretary of Stte Osborn was not waiting for the fall election. "General" Sanders may not have been a warrior bold very long but he learned very quickly that the better part of valor is discretion. Senator Mills made a long speech denouncing the senate amendments to the Wilson bill, and then like a good Democrat said: "I'll vote for it." If the woman suffragists are going to demand their right to play base ball they will have to give up their fondness for yellow if they expect success. A young man died in Lawrence with swelling in the legs. This is considered a peculiar case there, as the swelling of the other extremitv is quite a common affliction. Congressman O'Neill of Missouri got drunk and struck an inoffensive man on the head when his back was turned, but then that was all right as long as he kept off the grass. If the Coxey movement is the result of paternalism, as Senator Gordon of Georgia says, what does he think would be the result if Coxey's ideas which are the extreme of paternalism were adopted? Jcdok Bashork of Pratt who denies that he sent an editor to jail for contempt because he criticised his decisions is wiser in his day and generation than some men who occupy higher positions on the bench. The completion of a monument to Mary Washington sixty-four years after the idea was first broached leaves room to hope that sometime in the twentieth century New York may build one to General Grant The more changes the senate makes in the tariff bill the more Congressman Wilson's health improves. Perhaps after all he wouldn't be sorry if they would change the name too and relieve him of all responsibility. An original editorial writer says that Kelly's army was launched on the "rag ing Mississippi at Des Moines." There seems to be an embryo Napoleon in this country, who will make over its map for it, as Bonaparte did for Europe, As an exemplifler of the Fabian pol icy of delay Governor Lewelling is un excelled, lie was bound the train stealers shouldn't interfere with his gubernatorial boom if he had to keep the wires hot asking questions. The poor Indian is apparently keep ing abreast of the civilized white man, In spite of all the ignominy heaped upon him. The report comes that the national ireasury of the Chickasaw nation is empty, and the schools will have to sus pend for want of funds. In its search for presidential timber the Democratic party should not neglect to investigate this fertile field. That broad culture and spirit of liber ality so characteristic of Boston and its environs have constrained the authori ties of Harvard college to refuse the use of any of the college rooms to the Stu dents' Republican club. The Republi can students, who of course cannot know everything like the Harvard faculty, are mad at this. Perhaps they don't deserve to bo burned like the Salem witches, but the heresy of being Republicans will no doabt receive some suitable punishment, POPULIST POLITICS. The state campaign has actively com menced, so far as the Populists are con cerned. Not a day passes but that the mails are filled with tracts and documents to renew the failing faith of the Popu llstic converts. A part of Labor Com missioner Todd's report will be used to prove to the farmers that farming doesn't pay and that the fault lies in vicious leg- An extract has been culled from Secretarv 'Coburn's last quarterly agricultural report, the address of Hon. Daniel W. Needham of Boston, on the farming industry, which takes a dark view of the farmer's lot These will be sent out in addition to the many pamph lets issued under direction of the state central committee. The renomination of Governor Lew elling now seems to be a foregone con clusion and the state officers argue that this will carry with it the entire old ticket with possibly one or two excep tions. One of the exceptions is Secre tary of State Osborn. The prevailing sentiment is that it will not be policy to encumber the ticket with his name Os born talks too much and the state ad ministration is very much afraid of his pyrotechhical ebullitions. It was hoped he would go into the race for congress in the Sixth district but it la quietly hinted that he has aban doned that idea and the crowd is figur ing how he can best be let down grace fully. A prominent candidate against Osborn is J. W. Amos of Smith Center who is now county superintendent of public instruction. Amos is a very popular man in his own county and stands a good chance of being nominated. Another man who will probably be sacrificed for the good of the party is Lieutenant Governor Percy F. Daniels. Some time ago a scheme was hatched to turn him down. The plan was to ap pease the Democrats by placing the name of Charles Robinson on the ticket for second place. To this end, the gossip is, he was invited by Governor Lewelling to appear on behalf of the petitioners in the freight rale case before the railroad commissioners. Robinson was not radi cal enough and talked altogether too peaceably to make an im pression on the Populist voters. There is also talk that he could not poll the entire Democratic vote on account of his long service in po litical life. The plan of making Robinson lieuten ant governor went further. It was or iginally intended as a move to gratify both the ambition of Lewelling and Rob inson. Gov. Lewelling would like to be John Martin's successor in the United States senate while it has long been ex Governor Robinson's fondest hope to again sit in the executive chair. So it was planned that if the state ticket and the legislature be elected, Lewelling is to be elected United States senator re signing the office of governor. This would make Robinson his successor and governor of Kansas. Of course this is Populist gossip and is given for what it is worth. A COXEYITE CONQUEST. From the St. Louis Republic There have been two Coxey armies in Washington. One struggled across the mountains, camped on the outskirts of the capital, made a farcical parade along Pennsylva nia avenue, and went back to camp to wait while its leaders were tried for tramping on the grass. That army will not succeed in increas ing the taxation of the people to provide easy jobs for a clasi of individuals. Much better has the other army fared. It has kept off the grass, but has train- tied the shape out of the tariff bilL It could employ senators and congressmen, could extend its long arm into the finance committee's work, could threaten with the votes of immigrant labor it controls, could set champagne to flowing like wat er, and could use the machinery of tho lobby every hour in the day. One kind of paternalism is playing out because it has not pull enough to succeed. The other kind has scored an important preliminary success, because it had pull enough to own a whole politi cal party and to seduce several senators from the Democratic side. For every million, the tariff gives to the government it gives at least four to private interests. The amendments aro capable of producing $100,000,000 easily for the Coxey army who forced them on the committee. Every dollar is taken from the earnings of the masses. Many of the dollars go to trusts, which already make profits by the million. The agri cultural South and West get next to co compensation for this sacrifice. Coxeyism fails when it goes afoot, and succeeds when it rides in Pullmans. Baknet Sheridan, the Democratic ed itor of the Paola Spirit, says it is the duty of the Democrats of Kansas to hold the balance of power in the next legislature and elect a United States senator. He says: "We are for lion. John Martin for United States senator and firmly believe that the only way or plan by which he can be re-elected is for the Democrats to elect enough straight Democrats to the house to hold the balance of power in the legislature next winter. If Populists get a majority they will kick him over board for one of their own party and if Republicans have a majority they will do the same. But let there be enough Dem ocrats to turn the scale and thev can dictate the election. We are for sending Democrat to the United States senate for six years whether by Populist or Re publican votes." Creates health, creates strength, cre ates vigor: De Witt's Sarsapariila.

The murderers are arrested here" and a lynch ing will probably occur soon. Meeks and his family lived at Milan and were coming here yesterday to visit relatives. They were waylaid.

New York, May tL Elephant Tip was unquestionably a great sinner in his day, but he is being greatly sinned against in his taking off. Park Commis sioners Clausen, Strauss and Bell, accom panied by Superintendent Smith and Secretary Burn, arrived at Central Park at 6 o'clock in company with Drs. Hun tington, Allen and Spitska. At 6:ot they gave Tip a carrot, in a cavity of which were two ounces of cyanide of po tassium. The elephant swallowed it and then ejected it. Afterwards he was given an apple with a similar dose, which he swallowed. Another dose and a piece of bread charged charged with cynide of potassium he refused to touch. At 7:02 Old Tip began to vomit, and continued retching for half an hour. His legs were beginning to wobble a little, but the only poison he had really swallowed so far was that contained in an apple. The commissioners are evidently weary of the job, and the doctors are in despair of ending the elephant's career by the means adopted. I ndeed, Dr. Spitska had advised against the resort to cynide of potassium, and expressed doubt of its result. DENOUNCED THE A. P. A. RATE WAR GROW S BITTER.

In my judgment, brejthern, it is our duty to fight this un-American organ and its professed principles with every weapon, with which American freemen should fight the battle of right and justice as against the accursed spirit of bigotry and intolerance, which should find no place under free institutions, but which unfortunately runs riot through our country at the present time."

The Strapping- Toons; Man From Ypsilanti iiad frot Forgotten Him. A strapping young man, with a cold look In hia eye and a brand new clothes wringer resting on bis knee, sat m the waiting room of the Third Street depot waiting for his train. In Razing about his eyes rested on a certain man, and he gave a sudden start. He rose to his feet and started again. Then he deposited his clothes wringer on the set tee and walked over to a flashily dressed man about 40 years old whom any one would have spotted as a fakir and asked: "Don't you travel around with tooth pow der?" "No, sir!" was the sharp reply. "Wasn't you In Ypsilanti last fall?" "No, sirl" "Yes, you was, and I'll bet on it. You are the same durned feller, and I know it! "Sir! What does this mean?" demanded the other. "It means that I was in Ypsilanti last fall ana bought a box of your tooth powder. You changed a $5 bill, and darn my hide if you didn't hornswaggle me out of $1!" "Sir!" "2o use, old fellow! I knowed ye the micit 1 sot eyes on ye. Same big diamond pin same necktie same nose humped up in the middle like a circus camel! I want that dollar!" "This is outrageous! I'll call a police man" shouted the fakir. "Call and be durned to ye, but I'll lick ye first! You either come down with that dol lar, or I'll wallop ye till ye can't holler!" "Look here," replied the other in much milder tones, "you are mistaken. It was my co u Bin who was in Ypsilanti. He is dead now." "Then I'll take it out of you!" "He is dead, as I remarked, and rathei than have any blot resting on his fair es cutcheon I will pay you the dollar." "That's all right. I don't know nuthin about 'scutcheons, but I've got to have that dollar or pull hair. I've bin lookin for your humpbacked nose all over the face of the earth, and I've laid awake nights thinkin how I'd made ye holler like an. Injun if I got my paws on ye." He was given a dollar, and the fakir dis appeared at once, and the young man ex plained to those about him: 'I'm almost sorry be gave up so soon. I just achin clean down to my toes to lick him all over a 40 acre lot." Detroit Free Pre. Try Phillips mineral water It is con sidered the finest water for the stomach. i W. Eighth avenue. Try it.

About fifty Fourth ward Republicans met last night at the courthouse to nomi nate delegates to the state convention. The meeting was called to order by Arthur Capper, and Otis Hungate was elected chairman and J. E. Stewart, sec retary. The chairman stated that the meeting had been first called for Sat urday evening, but .was adjourned to Tuesday and then to last night. A delegation was selected by the Republicans who met at the court house on Monday evening and last night's caucus was opposed to the delegation with one exception. Capt. A. M. Fuller, who was the leading spirit in the cau cus, said that at the Monday night meet ing men had gotten themselves appoint ed on a committee to select delegates and then had appointed themselves. The chairman on motion of C. L. Van derpool selected the following commit tee to select the delegates: A. M. Fuller, C. L. VanderpooL L. T. Gage, Arthur Capper and S. P. Hawkins. They were out about an hour and dnring that time J. G. Wood made an address on Republi canism. The committee reported the following names: DELEGATES. ALTERNATES. A. W. Knowles, A. J. Hungate, Chas.

Klrat Ward Caucus. There was a large meeting of Repub licans of the First ward at the .North Topeka fire station last evening in re sponse to a call for a caucus of all Re publicans who favor the sending of an uninstructed delegation being sent to the county and state conventions. In the absence of the committeeman the meeting was called to order by Cap tain A. A. Rowley and F. L. Cooper was elected chairman of the caucus U. H. Fowler was chosen as secretary. After the call was read P. A. McPher on moved that the eaucua proceed to elect ten delegates and ten alternates to the county convention and that they be elected one at a time. This motion suit ed the crowd who were opposed to fixing and the caucus proceeded to elect the delegates. The first two delegates were nomina ted and elected by acclamation and then it was decided that the voting should be done by ballot. Two names were nominated at a time and the one receiving the largest number of votes was declared elected. After the ten delegates were chosen the alternates were selected by acclamation. The caucus adopted a resolution de claring that the delegates go into the convention uninstructed. There were between fifty and sixty Republicans at the meeting who voted for the election of the delegates. The following were the delegates and alternates elected: DELEGATES. ALTERNATES Henry Lodge, Sam Dolman, Geo. C Stoker, Charles Zarker, Will Lacey, Dr. A C. Davis, John Bradley, W. H. Moody, F. L. Cooper, J. W. Swartz, IL II. Lucus, T. II. Anderson, A A Rowley, 8. B.

The first ticket announced was nomin ated by a Morrill caucus Monday night. Last night's caucus of all the Republi cans of the ward nominated an unin structed delegation and today Deputy Sheriff Tom Wilkerson who lives in the First ward ha3 had a ticket printed on his own responsibility which he and his party of ward workers will endeavor to have elected tomorrow.

Womafrl Rood Influence A Hint Bos Women Public Spirited Brook lynites. Sharp Hetty Green Mrs. Danlap Bop bins She Vw Ambitious. Mrsl. Henry Ward Beecher does not believe in the ballot for woman, as tbs following interview with a writer for a New York daily clearly demonstrates: "There is a great interest in woman suffrage just now," Mrs. Beecher said to the reporter. "And you are nctf in favor of the movement, Mrs. Beecher?" she was asked. "No, indeed," was the reply. "I think women havo all they can do with out taking an interest in public affairs. I would be willing to give up half my rights to men instead of taking any of theirs. "If yon .grant the Bnffrage, there is nothing to prevent all sorts of women from going to the polls, and it might cause many evils. If they could arrange it so that only respectable, sensible women should vote, it might bo differ ent. "Do you think woman suffrage will come eventually?" "I hope I shan't live to see it," said Mrs. Beecher, with energy. "They say, suggested the reporter, quoting a time honored argument, "that the poor woman who is striving to support and educate her children in the face of the obstacle of a drunken husband will at least be able to protect herself from personal abuse if she has the ballot. "I don't think she will. It is nonsense to believe a vote would stop it. A man when he is intoxicated fears neither God, man nor the devil, as the old wom an said," replied Mrs. Beecher. "You believe in the protest that is being made against the constitutional amendment ihen?" "Yes, certainly. My name was the first one on the list. The polls are no place for women. Woman's place is at home. I used to tell Mr. Beecher that if women should ever be allowed to vote I would go to the polls with him and then ask him how I should vote. "I think a woman's work is harder in many ways than a man's. She has more duties to perform in making her home and children happy. That is work a man cannot do. "I believe in a thorough equality be tween men and women. They can go hand in hand together. My husband and I used to talk over all these things. I always knew what his views were, but as for going into it and voting I would not h"ve done it at all. I think it takes a great deal from a woman's niodesty going into public life, and modesty is her greatest charm. "There is riot one public woman who does her duty at home not one in 500. Woman's Good Influence. Take the great cities of the country that are so badly mismanaged, and you find organizations of women b:nded to gether 'not to do harm to the city or to put forth temptations that degrade and drag down its inhabitants, but to se cure clean streets and to do the best good they coil- Take New York, Chica go, Philadelphia and other cities, and you find women banded together for that purpose. I believe that it is much better for us to bo interested in good sewerage, good water supply, good air and good moral surroundings than to be interested in foreign missions, which are not of quite as close interest to ns as the conditions which surround our own homes. As to the suffrage taking up women's time and putting upon us responsibilities, I believe that it will be much easier for women of a city to go to the polls on election day and vote for the men who will see that these things aro brought into the life of the city to make for it good health than for them to take the extra work of nursing children suffering from diphtheria and scarlet fever. It i3 much easier to vote for a good condition of the town than to take caro of' the bad condition. We have here a lady who was elected to the school board of Quincy, Mass. She went to work at a certain school. She asked the privilege of doing so, simply because the children who attended that school were so unhealthy and so many of them died. The disease seemed to be of the worst character. The discoveries that she made in the building were enough to shock any good housekeeper. She went to work, cleaned the house from top to bottom and found in the cel lar a sunken tub, into which had been dripping water from leaks until the en tire tub had rotted away and the stench had permeated the whole building. The children were dying by the score. She went to work and did the general house cleaning of that school. And I submit to you she was much, better adapted to it than any man in the city of Quincy, and the work was certainly not an add ed burden to the city of Quincy, but a great relief. Anna Shaw in Woman's Tribune. A Hint For Women. Women do love to chronicle women's triumph. I know the above statement will be challenged; perhaps it will evoke the laugh of scorn. Nevertheless it is true, and happily, increasingly true, in these days when women en bloc are en gaged in the immense undertaking of convincing the men that their time hon ored superiority is a mere matter of moonshine moldy moonshine at that. We Jwve often marveled that women did not "go in" for photography to a larger degree. Not the amateurish kodak business, but regular professional pho tography. As posers I am sure they would soon relieve ns of the dentist chair suggestions so often conveyed by a picture. And if a brunette sitter would be so insane as to appear in a sky blue drees the photographer, viewing her with a woman's eye for the eternal fit ness of things, would simply send her mm 1 IMmm JM JUS mMMkmfk J NEW SPRING COATS.

And now we are glad that a woman has carried off The Her ald's prize for the best photograph. Miss Emily V. Clarkson of Potsdam, N. Y., captured it over 1,000 competitive pho tographs, and doubtless will regard il as a sure indication that she is ready tc enter that field as a breadwinner. It is hard to tell why this one prettj industry has been left so long to th men, in an age when women are aggress ive invaders and have shoved the men off bookkeepers' stools, out of telegraph offices and a variety of other places where the poor ladies are doing much harder and more disagreeable work that taking pictures. Jeannette H. Wal worth in New York Mail and Express. Public Spirited Brooklynites. The ladies of the Women's Health Protective association of Brooklyn are certainly indefatigable. I am a busy man myself for the money there is in it, but when I see the energy these la dies exhibit for nothing at all except a pure love of humanity I understand the surprising value of unselfish effort. Within four short weeks they have aroused tho ferry companies into scrub bing out the boats every other day, hav worried the corporation council into de fining tho law which forbids the erec tion of stables in residential districts, have stirred up the park commissioner by instructing him how to spend his an nual appropriation and have badgered the mayor into ordering the police com missioner to strictly enforce the law for bidding the throwing of paper into ash receptacles in public places.' During this period, moreover, nearly 200 mem bers have joined the association, and each ono is pledged to enlist at least three more. Brooklyn is taking on in consequence a look of rare smartness and neatness, and the influence of the work is permeating thousands of house holds. When tho time comes that the streets shall be properly paved, there will have been sufficient public spirit aroused to keep them reasonably clean. For practical, sensible, unremitting work and a lofty civic spirit this Wom en's Health Protective association is en titled to a medal of the first class. New York Press. Sharp Hetty Green. He is a sharp business man who can get the better of Mrs. Hetty Green, the wealthy financier. When the business depression was weighing most heavily upon the country, a rich New Yorker, who wanted a large sum of ready money, wished to place a mortgage on one of the mo3t valuable pieces of real estate in New York city. His .brokers', set forth to negotiate the loan, but cash was extremely scarce, even when thi nnest security was offered for it. Amonf others whom the brokers saw in regaro to the loan was a certain banker who knows Mrs. Green. He was unable to make the loan and could think of nc one who could." Meeting Mrs. Green the next day, however, he said to her: "Oh, why didn't I think of you yes terday? Mr. Z 's brokers were in to see mo to borrow a million. "On what?" asked Mrs. Green, and the banker explained the security, the terms, etc. "You can go and see the broker now," ho said. "You will be welcome. A million isn't easy to raise in thes days, and there is a pretty commission in it for them if they can get the money from you. They'll be glad to see you. But the brokers did not see Mrs. Green. She had no intention of letting that commission go astray. She saw Mr. Z herself, gave him the loan at her rate of interest and took the com mission also for getting the loan. New York Tribune. Sirs. Dnnlap Hopkins. Mrs. Dnnlap Hopkins, through whose efforts was established two years ago the New York School of Applied Design For Women in West Twenty-third street, is much interested in founding a simi lar school in London. When her health broke down last winter and she was 1 obliged to go to England for a rest, she was sent for by Princess Christian to enlighten her on the workings of tho school. By her invitation- Mrs. Hopkins spoke on the school at the Imperial in stitute and at the Mansion House, and after the lat.ter meeting, at which there were present the lord mayor, the com mon council and great manufacturers and dealers, she received with the prin cess and the lord mayor. Among the list of patronesses of the new scheme are Queen Victoria, the Prince and Princess of Wales and others, including three Americans. Mrs. Hopkins has also been asked by the minister of education in France to assist in establishing a similar school there. Boston Woman's Jour naL A Lost Fee. Dr. Jones' wife was awakened by a noise In her room the other night, and when she sat up in bed she saw the doctor standing over the armchair in the room. He had a towel tied around one of the legs of the chair, and with a hand saw he was cutting it in half. Mrs. Jones exclaimed: "Henry, what in the name of common sense are yoa doing?" "H-s-s-h," replied the doctor, "you'll wake the patient. You hold the chloroform to his nose while I take his leg off. I'm about half through the bone now." Then Mrs. Jones got out of bed and shook him and pinched him until he woke. Then he exclaimed: "How's the patient?" Mrs. Jones merely said, "Come to bed, you idiot, and stop hacking up the furni ture." 'Gracious, Maria," said the doctor as he collected his scattered senses, "do you know I thought I was in the hospital sawing off a leg that had a compoundracturef There's a $T0 fee gone." And Jones went to bed feeling as if he was an injured man at having lost that money.--Boston Courier. Poultry of the Past.

If we were asked the reason why "Viavi" performs such wonderful cures, we would be honest, and say, "We don't know." Ask a scientist why an apple invariably falls down ward, and he would 6ay it was v due to the law of Gravitation. That is aboipall he could tell you. It is no more natural for bodies to gravitate toward the center of the earth tbu it is for "Viavi" to cure thti dis eases peculiar to women.

She is gone down into the country, Val, to 1 il4 spend a monttu A little rustic cousin of hers is about to be married. and she wants the benefit of Blanche's fine trousseau and the taste about the wedding1." "Ah, poor Blanche I I pity her, im mured in a country house in Decem ber! What will she do, unless she finds some men to flirt .with.?" laughed Valentine Monroe, throwing1 his hand some length lazily on the cushions of a divan in his mother's luxurious boudoir. "There's no one to flirt with at Hazelmere. It's a very quiet neigh borhood, and I don't believe the girl that's g-oing to g-et married would ever have found a husband, only that a young- man just- happened to live in the house nephew to her g-uardians, I believe and they fell in love. Noth ing1 but propinquity, you see, Val, that makes so many -matches. Heigho! I wish it had been as successful in your case with Blanche." "Dear mother, don't bring1 np that old grievance again." "But, Val, let me urge dear Blanche's claim just once more. Poor g-irl, ever since she came to live with us, five years ago,. when her parents died, she has worshipped you, Val, and it is cruel that you don't take pity on her tender heart." "One doesn't like to have a g"irl throw herself at one's head, mother. Blanche might have waited till I asked her to love me." "But, Val. you ought to be grateful to her for loving- you, really. Any other man would go on his knees to thank her, and you know it. She is the belle of her set, beautiful and rich; and, as she says, she can bring- any man to her feet but you." "And wants me just out of perver sity, eh?" laughed handsome Val, and the big- diamond on his white hand sent out a blinding-flash of light as he tried to smother a yawn. "No, she loves you fondly and devo tedly, my son, and she is just the girl for you, too a very queen of beauty. Come, I will tell you her secret, poor girl. It was for your sake she has buried herself in the country." "I don't comprehend." "I'll explain, Val. Well, only the night before she left she told me in tears, that she was maddened by your indifference, and was going away to test your love. She thought you might miss her, and find out you loved her, by your sorrow at her absence." "Did she think I could not enjoy my dear mother's society alone?" he queried, affectionately. "Don't begin to flatter me, dear, thinking- to turn off the subject! Oh, Val, why won't you marry Blanche? She surely has reason to complain if you don't, for you have flirted with her ever since she came here." "Beg- pardon, it is Blanche who has flirted with me. Mother, you know that girl has flirted from her cradlel" "She only does it to make you jeal ous, VaL" "No, -it's her nature. And she cares no more for the sufferings of her vic tims, than little boys do for the but- "TAKE TOCTt BttfG, PERKY G B AKDISOW. terflies whose wings they pull off. She can be very cruel when she wilL" "But not to you, dear, because she loves you so much. And she is so fond of me, too, and is just my choice for a daughter-in-law. Oh, Val, do (five me your promise to marry Blanche!" im plored the handsome, worldly mother, who coveted the queenly heiress for her son's bride. Handsome Val raised his careless, laughing- face to her, and for once it was grave and earnest,' even sad. "Mother, you've been telling- me se crets, tell you one. I cannot marry Blanche, because I love an other girl! "Val!" she almost shrieked, in her surprise and dismay. "I love another girl," ha repeated, hoarsely. "No, it isn't any one you know. I met her last summer at the sea-side.. She was a guest of some friends of mine. Oh, mother, how lovely she was! not a queenly blonde, like Blanche, but rather petite, with a mass of curly dark hair, a pale, mignon face, with the sweetest red mouth, a dimple in her chin, and such eyes! pure, forget-me-not-blue, hidings under thick, curly lashes, black svs jet. She was a thousand times pret tier than Blanche, to my notion. "Oh. heavens! and you are engag-ed to her! It will break my poor Blanche's heart!" "I am not engaged to any one, mother, fox my little beauty was ea- gng-ed before 1 ere tnet her. told me so when I asked her to be mne. But, before heaven, I .believe she liked me well, and if she had only not worn that other fellow's ring1 confound himj I might have won her for my own." "Ah, I am very glad she is married to another man. There's a chanoe for Blanche yet," cried Mrs. Monroe, with a sigii of relief. "But she isn't married yet, mother, for I made her swear solemnly to send me wedding-cards when it came oEE. For, as long- as she is single, there's some hope, you know. And I swear that I'll marry no one until my little beauty is lost to me forever." "And then then would you have Blanche?" eagerly. "As well her as another, since I should have no heart for any but my lost love," gloomily. The weeks slipped away, and one morning-, when the mail came in, his mother cried, eagerly: "Wedding- cards for you, VaL Per haps it is that girl!" and she could not keep the joy out of her voice and eyes. He tore the cards from the envelope, with nervous fingers. "Great Heaven! the cruel blow has fallen!" and he staggered to hia seat, his hand before his eyes. "Why, what is this?" she cried, examining- his cards. "Val, it is the girl at Hazelmere, Blanche's cousin, pretty little Bessie Gray!" "That is her' name," he sighed, heavily. "Oh, Val, remember your promise! If this g-irl married her betrothed, you would marry Blanche!" "Yes," he answered, with the acquiescence of despair. "I am so glad, so gladl Val, shall you go to the wedding?" "Yes, I will see her lost to me for ever! Then, I will bring- Blanch back as my betrothed!" he answered, with the recklessness of a torturing despair for his blighted love-dream. He arrived at the pretty Southern homestead in the morning of the day set for the wedding. A blundering servant took his card when he asked for Blanche, and sent hiin into the conservatory. -'She's in there, cutting- flowers for the bride's bouquet." Some one was helping- his cousio, and he paused at the sound of voices, and peeped through a thicket of blossoming pink azalias. Blanche's companion was a young1, fine-looking man. He cried out, in a passionate voice: "Blanche, this is cruel work for us both!. Oh, if these flowers were only for you, my darling!" "Hush! you must not say such things to me you, who will be married to Bessie Gray to-night!" "Not if you forbid it, Blanche, fot my fate lies in your hands. Ah, poor little Bessie, I loved her dearly till you came, but the gianoea of your eyes drove me mad, and my love turned from her to you. Do not up braid me, dearest, for surely I have read your heart aright, in your tender blue eyes, and you love me as well as I do you. This marriage would make ns both very unhappy. Oh, Blanche, let us fly together before this fatal bond is riveted that sunders us for ever. We can be married quietly in Washington, and go abroad "Stop," she cried, in clear, ringinr tones. "You insult me, Perry Grandi son! Why, I have never dreamed of loving- you! I only amused myself with your vanity, because- you hap pened to be the only man about! I shall never marry any one but my handsome cousin, Valentine Monroe! As for you, sir, you must keep your troth with Bessie!" "I will, for I despise you now that I know you were only flirting with me, and but he turned with a start, for the outer door of the conservatory opened, and a petite flsjure entered, the dark curly head held high, the mignon face very pale, the tiny white hand holding1 out a pretty pearl rin. "Take your ring1, Perry Grandison, and may God forgive you for your fal sity," cried Bessy, her voice thakinf with stifled tears. "Oh heavens, Bessie! you have heard alL But forgive me, I. pray you dear est, for I was caught by a siren's wiles. I only fancied I loved her.and, at the discovery of her falsity, my heart turned back to you with a warmer love." "And I despise you!" she replied, scornfully. "There will be no wed ding1 to-night." "Ah, Bessie, don't say that rashly, cried a yearning voice, and Valentine Monrof stepped from his concealment and took her hand. "I, too, have heard all, and I rejoice in this craven's falsity, since It gives me another chance! Oh, Bessie, when I courted you, by the sea, last summer, you al most owned that, but f6r a prior en gagement, you might have liked me. Can't you love me now? can't I take Grandison'a place to-night?'he prayed earnestly. "Ye-es, for I know I shall love you better than I ever could have loved Perry Grandison," she murmured, blushingly, and let him slip his ring on her little hand. And Val really married sweet Bes sie that night, but Perry and Blanche did not stay for the wedding. They departed in haste repenting their treachery and hating- each other -'Perry to seek forgetfulness abroad, and Blanche to weep her heart out in a vain aespair. An Aged Fishhook.

Little Mrs. Diggs Saya She's the Fierce One AIOSG TEE WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. Anna Shaw and Annie Dice Talk to the Hie Rally The Topek Part of the Swp" Ended. After making converts without number and making' good speeches too numerous to mentioD, thei equal suffragists con cluded their two days rally with a collec tion ut Hamilton hall last night. The immense audience Wednesday night was repeated last night, and fortu nate were they who got within the door. Mayor Harrison was the first speaker last uiirht. He was followed by Rev. Anna bhaw. She said: "When the ques tion of equal suffrage was before con gress, a Democratic member pointed to the woman's gallery and said, with deep pathos: 'Shall we drag pure, lovely, beautiful women from the pedestal upon which we have placed them, down to our level?' I turned to Miss Anthony and said: 'Susan, did you know men had been worshiping you from a pedestal, all these years?' 'No, but it only goes to show how well men can keep a secret. If men are as bad as they say, and we are as good as they say, then they are not fit to make laws for us angels. Better let us make the laws for a time, and per haps in due process we may get the men up on a pedestal. If we get in congress we won't put our hats in our seats and hang ourselves up in the cloakroom. Jol. Ingersoll says that when women vote, their vote will be controlled by preachers and priests. All right. The ministers represent the best there is in the community, and you men have followed, and are still following worse leaders. "Everything is blamed on the women. I hear it charged that the reason so many young men get'druuk is on account of the brandy their mothers put in mince pies. The only thing i cau't understand is that it should drive the boys straight to the saloon, and the girls who were brought up at the same table, straight to the prayer meeting. "Women have helped the men in all their battles for freedom, and now we ask the men to extend the same help we have never been niggardly in giving. "We have Pilgrim fathers, and fore fathers, and revolutionary fathers, and church fathers, and city fathers. That's what is the matter with the country. It is well euough fathered but not enough mothered. What the nation needs is a little mothering." Mrs. Theresa Jenkins of Wyoming was another speaker, She weighs 19-i pounds, and when she said "I have voted eighteen years and lived through it and I come as an example of what suffrage' has done," there was no little mirth. After a collection and music by the mandolin club the following resolution was pas.-ed unanimously by the men present. The women by a rising vote ex pressed their wish for suffrage. The resolution reads: We, citizens of Shawnee county in mass meeting assembled, are hereby "Resolved, That the political parties of the state be urged to acknowledge in their respective platforms the justice of the pending amendment and the wisdom of its adoption." Mr. Diggs Speech. Mrs. Annie L.. Diggs is no doubt the best kuown woman speaker in Kansas with the possible exception of Mrs. Lease, and is second to that lady only as an orator. Mrs. D.gga made the moat important speech at the meeting yester day, and it was one of those odd, inter esting little speeches such as nobody ex cept Mrs. Diggs can make. People who had never heard her before whispered when she appeared, "Isn't she cute?" She is, and her speech was "just like her." Among other things Mrs. Digg3 said, were: "There is a man in Topeka who says that if the amendment carries the foun dations of society will be shaken and home life will be at an end. We can't feel offended at this statement if a per son is so far behind the times as to make it. It only deserves a laugh and our ridicule." "Any self-respecting woman can go anywhere under the sun unattended, and receive nothing but the most respectful treatment from the man." "It is said that the women can't vote and go to the polls without neglecting their babies and household duties. I notice that we can go to church, or the theater, or a circus, or into society with out anybody, not even the editors howling about the neglected babies. It doesn't take near as long to go to the polls, but the moment we go there the men for the first time in their livos begin to worry about the little ones." "What is the use of going over all these old objections to equal suffrage? They are not arguments, tney are simply objections. There is not one living ar gument today. It is said that we can't go to the polls in safety. I have gone a great many times and I would rather go there than to the post-office on a crowded day. "When I was in Washington I visited the old home of tha father of his coun try at lit Vernon. I saw the negro quarters where the slaves U3ed to gather after their work was over and sang, played their banjos, danced their jigs and ate hoe-cake. They were a happy race then. Later, I visited the Wash ington police court one morning. It seemed to me very much like the old slave auction block. Must of the culprits were colored and many of them were women. The women were ajked questions just as shameful and degrading as any ever asked them when they were offered for sale. I also went through the colored slums where it is not safe for a person to go even in the day time without a star and a blue-coat with you. The grand children of those old slaves were there like hunted ani mals, their hands against every man, plotting mischief and murder. Under these circumstances it seemed to me that the great civil struggle did not accom plish all that was intended. Don't mis understand me. It would have been awful bad that great struggle with its cost of bloodshed and treasure and heart aches been in vain; but as long as this condition prevails the great question of chattel 6lavery is not entire settled." Mrs.. Diggs continued: ."Men and women need each other. They inspire one another.. God made no mistake when he put us on the same planet and put boys and girls in the same family. When a man goes to the far west he becomes semi-civilized. Then he sends for the women foiks and gets civilized again. Both elements are es sential. You men have run the nation a good while and have been only partially successful. The nation has been well fathered, but it hasn't been enough moth ered. You are confronted by conditions you admit baffle you. Better let us help you'out We ask for the franchise riot because it would be nice to vote. We don't care anything about that. Our rea sons are that the country neeeds all the moral and common sense help it can get" "There was a time when this country was not fit to live in, and the atmosphere was not tit to breathe. Finally the mon sters of the deep left the continent and gave way to a more desirable settlement. These reforms have continued up to the present time, and equal suffrage is the next in this line of evolution." Mrs. Diggs created some amusement in describing the difference between her self and Mrs. Johns. "Airs. Johns is the sweet one," she said. "She is the win ning one who does the pleading. I have another plan. I am the fierce one. I scare people." The audience greatly enjoyed being frightened by Little Mrs. Diggs. MRS. LEVSE FOB COXGKEiS. What Mr. Annie ligc Thinks Abont I: SHb Talks About Inijall. Mrs. Annie L. Diggs talked to a Jour nal reporter last evening, and she says she is going to stay in Kansas until women are given the right to vote in all elections. "I believe the amendment will carry. If the parties declare un qualifiedly for the measure we will have a much larger majority than if they do not. As far as the Populists are con cerned I cau say that I have had assur- I ances from many influential Populists 1 .i "'ii i i A mat i:io pianK win ue put in meir plat form, but I know nothing about the Re publicans. "Woman suffrage," remarked Mrs. Diggs, "has been fairly and fully tested in Kansas. For seven years Kansas women have ha .the municipal ballot. The manner in which they have used their political privileges and the effect thereof have utterly demolished the old stock of objections to woman's enfran chisement. Facta have met adverse theories and shown them no quarter. Senator Ingalls croaked dismally in pre suffrage diys. Women, he said, will be jeered and jostled at the polls. Chivalry will perish for want of exercise. Whilom polite gentlemen .will sit doggedly in street cars with a hard, you-womeu-may-stand-now-you-vote expression up on their faces. Neglected babies, forlorn papas with bottles of soothing syrup, cold victuals, buttonlesa trousers, undarned socks, general wreckage of home, universal nightmare and chaos all these direful things did our states ram not then out of a job foresee and solemnly tell "as a result of women's bal loting. Unfulfilled prophecy! Dead theory now, all this stuff. Women voted. The rowdy, riotous voting ploces became fit for civilized, self-respecting men to approach. The "fifty-foot law" forbade the briber and corrupter to crowd the space where women went to vote. Men, especially candidates, arose in street cars with much alacrity, and with an I-wondar-for-whom-she-will-vote expression on their chivalric counten ances begged women to be seated. Women had somehow acquired the habit of loving their babies, of sewing on but tons, of darning socks and habit is strong. The Ingalls prophecies are out of a job. There are still homes in Kan sas, though a few of them are mortgaged; not, however, by reasons of conditions brought on by women's votes. "I believe that the political result will be to strengthen the Populist party. Wo man suffrage being inherently just and in the line of the free play of nature must result in good in the long run and the large make-up. Nature, as under stood up to date, seem3 to have designed women to be closer to the home side of life than men. Women will, therefore, bring home interests more directly into politics a something which seems to have been the fatal lack and the great need of these sad, homeless times." "What do you think of Mrs. Lease be ing a candidate for congress in the Seventh district?" the Journal man asked. Mrs. Diggs eyes opened very wide and her little hands went up in protest "Is it possible that any one thinks seriously of that? I don't want to be interviewed on that subject, for you know I am not a sensationalist Why it is preposterous," said she with emphasis, "but I can't talk about it" HAMMER AND CLUB. Two You Men U(1 Them' on Each Oilier X.nat Evening. J. J. Philipps and W. L. Hewitt, of North Topeka, were in police court this morning on the charge of disturbing the peace. Both are young men and had a quarrel yesterday.
