t ft IJ 1 10 CENTS A WEEK. KTGIIT EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1894. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. DIED Oil JHE GRASS. A Destitute Man Shoots Himself Through the Heart, On the Grounds ot the United .States CapitoL Had Only One Cent in His Pocket. WAS HE A WEALER? ile Couldn't Walk On the Grass, But Wasn't Denied the Poor Privilege of Djinjr There. Washington, Mar 29. A sensation has been caused among congressmen and capital employes here by the discov ery made by a gardener who goes about the grounds every morning, finding the lifeless body of axnan under a tree near the grotto, in the northwestern part of the capitol grounds. The corpse was cold, but its lack of rigidity showed that death had come but a few hours previously. A nearly new 32-caliber revolver, with one exploded and four loaded chambers, was lying upon the grass about live feet behind the body, which was prone upon its face, with the right hand tightly clenched. It was plainly a case of suicide. At hrst he thought the man was drunk, and ap proaching him, shook his arm and told him to get up. A closer examination horrified him with the discovery that he had beeu addressing a corpse. The po lice authorities were notified, and the dead man was removed to the morgue at the bixth precinct police station. Shot Through the Heart. There it was discovered that death re sulted from a pistol shot in the left breast, the ball entering about one aud a half inches below the nipple and a little to. the right. Coroner Woodward, who subsequently examined the body, stated that the ball had entered the heart and that death resulted instantaneously. The dead man was 5 feet 6 inches tall, and appeared to have been about twenty-tive yei.rs of age, and about 140 pounds in weight liis face was smoothly shaven atid full, and marked with pimples. The half-shut eyelids disclosed hazel eyes, and a thick suit of short sandy hair cov ered the well formed head. His hands indicated that they had known labor. It is thought he was a 'weaier, but he has not been identified. The suicide was clad in a blue serge sack coat, double-breasted black vest, bluish grey troura, with slight black lilies, and a pink outing shirt. His un derwear was of gauze, and his feet were clad in a pair of long black stockings, of a cheap texture, and apparently designed for women. Around his neck was clasped a neat black tie. His hat was a comparatively new brown derby, size 7. The outer clothing was well worn, and in the coat a right ample tear had seem ingly been but recently and unskillfully repaired. The dead man also wore a pair of almost new rubber boots, which reached nearly to his waist. His trou sers were drawn down over them and around his waist was a new yellow leather belt. Around his arms was a pair of metal clamps used by bicycle riders. lu his pocket was found one cent, a bunch of thirteen keys, a glove buttoner and a shoe hook. JNot a card, Jotter nor any other scrap of paper was found upon the body. The news of the tragedy caused quite a sensation at the capitol, for it was felt that the suicide or murder, whichever it may be, indicates the absolutely unpro tected condition of the capitol grounds. Snnsror MandtrBon Appalled. Senator Manderson, a member of the committee on rules of the senate, was considerably astounded when a reporter told him of the discovery of the dead body on the capitol grounds. "The idea that such a thing could hap pen practically without discovery," he said, "and under the very dome of the capitol is somewhat appalling. There is no doubt in the world that the present police force on duty at the capitol is much too small. There are twenty-four men, divided into three reliefs of eight men each, working eight hours. At night there can be only two men spared from the building for the patrol of the entire park. "I had a conversation only this morn ing with Senator Blackburn, chairman of the committee, in reference to this very matter, and he agreed with me that something should be done at once to re lieve this condition of things. We. are of the opinion that the appropriations committee of the senate will consent to an increase of the force to thirty-six men, which will give more men for night service in the grounds. TAKE THEM MY THE THROAT. Senator Peffer Sax Some Man Mut Be CitTeried That Way. Washington, D. C, May 29. Senator Peffer has been making an address to the Fitzgerald or Boston Legion of the Commonweal, at its headquarters in Mount Pisgah (negro) chapeL Mr. Mor risau I. Swift introduced the Kanaan, who said there had been a number of things in the way of the consideration of the various bills he had introduced for the benefit of the laboring men of the country. The tariff measure he said ia in the way; the churches are in the way, the newspapers are against it, and the money power with its headquarters in Wall street is in the way. Wall street ia the eat of all the deviltry today where they gamble aud speculate in the blood and sweat pt their fellow men. The senator said the opposition must be converted. "Some men," he said, "you must 'sit down with anl convert their reasons; others must be reached by warming their hearts, while there are others still you must take by the throat and Intimidate." He then spoke of the attitude of the Populists, and prophesied that they would control legislation by the time of the incoming of the next century. BUS OFF THE BESEBVE. Tin Bcsa.tt Commonweal Arm; Can't Fraternize With Sanders. Leavenworth, May 29. Bennett's commonweal from Seneca, who joined the Sanders Coxeyitea yesterday have been driven off the reservation by United States cavalry. As soon as Colonel Townsend was sat isfied of the presence of Bennett's men he gave them a few hours to leave the reserve, and unless complied with forci ble removal would be made. Three troops of cavalry were at once ordered to be in readiness to move at a moment's notice, and when during the afternoon Bennett's wealers were still found on the reserve the cavalry moved on their camp and marched them a half mile south to the city limits at the head of Fourth street, where a kindly old lady gave them permission to camp on her two va cant lots an offer which was promptly GEN." KELLY, Commander of accepted. The troops returned to the post without leaving the government reservation. KELLY'S PLANS. He Says He Will Not Malce Them Pub lic at Present. St. Louis, May 29. General Kelly is enoamped at the upper edge of" St. Louis, and his encampment is being visneo. Dy inouaanas ot ot. iouis people. A crowd of reporters met the "general" as soon as he landed. "Well, we have arrived," he remarked, extending his sunburt hand, "and I am glad of it. St. Louis is one of the points 1 have longed to reach since I started on my journey across the continent. "The object of this industrial move ment, of which I claim to be the father, I can hardly make plain just at this time, although I will give you an idea. When we reach Washington I shall not force my self upon the town, like Coxey, but will bide my time and wait an opportunity. When I get permission to invade the limits of Washington I shall proceed as near the capitol as possible and ascend in a baloon tendered me by the Baldwin Bros., old friends of mine. From this balloon I shall address the surging mass of humanity, which I -am sure will be as sembled. I will show to our national congress the condition of the unem ployed of this grand country, and will paint the picture from the army with me. "I will endeavor to make it plain that we are not beggars, but honest men out of employment, who come to make an appeal for work. I shall ask for no par ticular appropriation, but will beg and pray our representatives in congress to devise some means to give employment to the worthy to make an appropriation to carry on some line of work that will be beneficial to the government as well as to us." "Should congress give no heed to your appeals, then what?" "Oh, but I do not expect to be unsuc cessful I am reasonably sure that I shall succeed, but if I find that our visit is of no avail there will be nothing else for us to do but to disband and find a home wherever we can. Of course, I have not told you my entire plan upon arrival in Washington, nor shall I. Like a professional card-player, I shall not play my last trump until I am forced to. "I do not wish to be misunderstood, however, as I do not desire to create the impression that we contemplate any vio lence. Far from that; but what I do mean is that I do not care to give out all my thunder to the press aud have all my intentions and plans stolen before I reach the seat of government. I want some thing new and original to work on when I arrive there. I believe this is all I care to say at this time, as I am tired and worn out and want to take a rest" THE COXEYITES AT WASHINGTON. Fltzf.rsld's Band Has No Tronhle Get ting; Into the Capitol. Washington, May 29. The Boston contingent of the commonweal "army," about sixty in number, visited the capi tol yesterday afternoon. The leaders, Messrs. Adams, Morrison I. Swift and Fitzgerald, secured an audience with Senator Peffer, who invited tho entire outfit into the marble room, where he held an impromptu reception, shaking hands with each weaier as he passed by. He sent for Senators Kyle and Allen, who entered the room and joined Sir. Peffer in talking to the delega tion. Senators Palmer and Call also came into the room and were intro duced all around. Fitzgerald presented the petition on behalf of good roads and employment of the idle to Senator Peffer, and made a brief argument to him in its favor. Swift engaged the attention of Senator Allen, while Adams, Fitzgerald's second lieutenant, talked to Mr, Kyle. After the conferences were concluded, there was a general hand-shaking all around, the senators conversing with a number of the men individually. The men presented a very creditable aDpearance. All of them had shoes shined, and they seemed to be deter mined to put their best foot forward. Out at the camp of the Commonweal of Christ, near Highlands, everything remains as monotonously dull as usual. There were some additions to the com missary yesterday, which served to allay the growing discontent of the men, and their spokesmen reiterated the intention of the army to hold together until Coxey and his marshals are released from jail and renew the vigorous agitation of the movement in favor of the non-interest-bearing bonds and good roads. There were six recruits received from the Galvin army yesterday and some charitable person donated 135 pounds of coffee. BRECKINRIDGE LAUGHS. He Will Mot Slake a Personal Campaign Against Owens. Louisville, May 29.: A special to the the California Coxey Contingent- Times from Lexington says: Congress man Breckinridge will not express an" opinion about Judge Bradley's ruling of yesterday. He says that he will carry the matter to the supreme court and test it there. CoL Breckinridge will not make a personal campaign and laughs at Owens attack on him. He says it is a sign of defeat to get mad. He seems satisfied with the present condition of affairs. Mr. Breckinridge has not perfected his plans for the future yet, but will stump the district thoroughly. He leaves for Washington tomorrow. COLORED TRAMPS. Another Santa Fe Employe Shot by a Vagrant at Guthrie. Guthrie, Ok., May 29. Early today Policemen Lester and Tipton heard a noise in a Santa Fe freight car standing in the yards, and Lester attempted to enter the car but was shot through the head by a negro in the car who then jumped to the ground and started to run.

Several other negroes found in the vicin ity have been jailed. Officer Lester can not live and there is talk of lynching. THE Y SLIPPED AWAY. The County Commissioners Are in Cleve land, Ohio, Looking After Stone. It is a dead secret, but the Jouksal always gives the news, and the latest news is that the county commissioners are in Cteveland, Ohio, today looking at stone to be used in the construction of the new court house. Commissioners Knight, Campbell and Williams and ex-Commissioner Samuel Kerr, left Topeka last Friday ostensibly going to Ohio on private business, but they are the guests of the owners of some big stone quarries at Cleveland and may purchase stone for the courthouse before they return.

Leavenworth, Kan., May 29. The 425 miners employed at the Home and Kansas Texas shaft quit work today, and a prolonged strike seems inevitable.

A Snggestion for Arbitration by Gov ernors of Six States. Springfield, 111., May 29. The fol lowing telegram was received at 11 o'clock last night: ""Pittsburg. Pa., May 28. To the Governor of Illinois: It has been suggested by heavy coal consumers, as well as miners and operators, that a board of concilia tion, and arbitration, composed of the governors of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, should be constituted to take measures to adjust the present coal strike. As these six states produce four fifths of the bituminous coal of the country, it is held that their executives could act with great propriety. The Pittsburg' people solicit your views on the subject, and whether you would bo willing to act in this capacity. Answer by Tuesday. The Post." The telegram was forwarded to the governor at Chicago. TO GO TO CRIPPLE CREEK. Gov. Watte Will Visit the Scene of the Alining Trouble. Denver, May 29. Governor Waite has determined to go to Cripple Creek to night to investigate the situation. He will visit the miners 6tronghold, talk with the strikers and ascertain for him self to what extent they are interfering with the rights of the mine owners. This decision was reached after a visit today from Rev. E. E. Carrington, of Colorado Springs, a member of the peace committee which has been seekintr to bring about arbitration, who implored the. governor to order out the militia. All hope of reaching a settlement by ar bitration has disappeared, he said, and a terrible conflict could be averted only by the presence of the troops. It is learned that the strikers at Crip ple Creek are under command of J. J. Johnson, who has taken a course of mil itary instruction at West Point and three or four German military officers. One German officer is said to have planned the fort on Bull mountain, which is so well located. GETTING A.N' ARMY. Sheriff Bowen Hires Them and Buys a Gatling Gun. Denver, May 29.

All men are being accepted for the ser vice who have guns. H. IS. Guertner, a prominant Populist, was driven out of the camp today and was warn ed that he would be killed if he returned. It is supposed the miners sus pected he was in league with the mine owners. A gatling gun has been ordered to be sent from Chicago as quickly as possible, to be used by the deputies against the miners. Desperate at Brazil. Brazil, Ind., May 29.

Bo vard, receiver of the Loomis Coal com pany, to open the mines at Bevier and to begin operating them. He instructed the receiver to- employ any miners that he could secure if the old men refused to work. He said that he wanted the mines to be in operation at this time, when there was such a good profit in the business and that he pro posed to have them in operation. A. II. ELLIS HERE. Bat He Is Shy of Newspaper Men and Won't Talk. Judge A. IL Ellis, of Beloit, who was last week nominated for congress by the Republican convention at Phillipsburg is in Topeka today. Judge Ellis is a big man from the ground up to his big black broad brimmed hat He wears a light gray suit of clothes, a pair of long red chin whiskers and a heavy sorrel moustache. Judge Ellis does not belong to the Old Crowd, for he has never before been suc cessful in breaking into-the Republican distributing crib, and unless he gets more votes than Harry Pestana got two years ago, his nomination won't do him much good. When seen by a State Journal re porter this morning Judge Ellis said he did not want to be interviewed. He would not admit that he was afraid of newspaper men, but excused himself on the ground that it is too early to com mence his campaign, although he began working for the nomination several months ago. Judge Ellis is not sure what the Sixth district Populists are going to do and he admits that he is in some degree inter ested in their actions. He denies the story told by S. M. Scott of how he got the nomination although other Sixth dis trict Republicans who were in the con vention say that Scott's story is true. SCORED FARWELL.

Light Battery B of Topeka will go into camp this evening in the state house grounds and be ready for. service in the Decoration day exercises tomorrow. BEST OF ITS KIND. The Dor and Pony Show" a Mest K markable .Entertainment, Inhere are lots of people in Topeka who enjoy- seeing trained animals auc from the number of persons at the'd. and pony show last evening it would ;ij pear that Prof. Gentry's aggregation is a drawing attraction. Nor were the peo ple disappointed, for the dogs and ponies seemed only too glad to show off their intelligence. The show is undoubtedly the best of its kind ever seen here. The tent is on Quincy street, between Sixth and Seventh. Prof. Gentry's ani mals show that their master possesses more than ordinary powers iu training animals. The big monkey makes lots of fun for the youngsters by his antics. He is also an excellent rider and can stick on the back of either dog or pony in a way that would be hard to imitate by a human being. The ponies seemed t5 enjoy the music of the band and pranced around very prettily. One feature of the entertain ment which was of special note, was tne high jumping of the big prey hounds. Prof. Gentry has some record breakers in these dogs. There was amusement for all, from the youngest child present to the old gray haired man. The per formance will be repeated tonight and tomorrow. STAGE GLINTS. Elsie Adair will star next season in "The American Girl." Maud Durbin will support Otis Skin kin on his starring tour. R. Henry Strange, "The Black Booth," will appear as Shylock at the Standard theater in Philadelphia on May 28. Grace Golden will summer at New Harmony, Ind. She has had offers for next season, but has not accepted any of them yet. William F. Hoey, W. D. Mann and W. P. Brown sailed for Europe recently. Scalchi and Nordica were passengers by the same steamer. A one night stand manager applied for a date for Seabrooke in "Tesatico" and expressed the hope that the new piece was "full of troiieal songs." "A Gaiety Girl," the burlesque from the Prince of Wales' theater, London, will begin an engagement at Daly's thea ter, New York, in September. Addie Cora Reed, the light opera prima donna, was married recently to Basa Henderson, a prominent St. Louis man, formerly manager of the Lindell hotel. Belle Chamberlin, the contralto, now on a vacation at her home at Grand Rap ids, has been engaged to play leading in genue parts in support of Inez Mecukser. The partnership of Robert Hilliard and Paul Arthur has been terminated. Mr. Hilliard talks of starring alone in "The Sleepwalker" next season. Mr, Arthur goes into burlesque. Jack Sanford says, "Neil Burgess plans for the future in stage effects will be sufficient to nominate him the most ingenious man of his age in all that per tains to stage realism." Keep Trying. The storekeeper who expects to do much business in 1894 must practice the lesson taught in the following story: "Two frogs found themselves in a pail of milk and they could not jump out. One of them was for giving up and said to the other, 'Good by; I sink, I die.' Said his mate, 'Brace up, you duffer! Keep a jumpin' and see what turns up.' So they kept jumping up and down all night and by morning had so churned ttie milk that it turned to butter, and they jumped off the better to the ground." Applied to business the fable means this: if you want the business of 1894 to exceed that of 1893, "keep a jumoin'." Don't cry, "I sink, I die! The merchant who tori; tinues looking for bad times will not suD vive to see good times. The man who keeps a jumpin' will see good times first. Carry a level head, buy standard goods and keep a good clean stock, an attrac tive store and advertise with bright, at tractive daily ads. Exchange. Topeka Commandery. A special conclave of Topeka Com mandery will be held this evening at 7:30 Hharp, when the orders will tie con ferred upon two postulants. All sojourn ers are cordially invited to attend this conclave. T. P. Kodokkh, Recorder Charley Spendlove, who was arrested yesterday together with Charles Stin rnati and Clarence McDowell, charged with stealing an electric bell irom Mrs. Short, at Tenth aud Quincy streets, 'was discharged today. Stiurnan and McDow ell fully exonerated Spendlove in Judge Chesney's court this afternoon, pleaded guilty and were sent to the Reform school. The State Journal's Want and Mis cellaneous columns reach each working day in the week more than twice as many Topeka people as can be reached through any other paper. This is a fact.

STATE JOTTRXAT TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 29. 1894 TALKED Oil LUMBER. Oregon and Maine. Senators Con tend for a Duty on Lumber For Hours, "But They Never Split the Wood." MR. WALSH SPEAKS. He Declares Himself On the Tariff and Silver. Washhtgtox, May 29. The senate spent eight hours yesterday discuss ing1 the question of free lumber. Not a rote was taken. The tariff bill places lumber in the rough on the free list. The debate wu npon Mr. Hale's proposition to transfer lumber to the dutiable list at the rates fixed in the McKinley law. Senators Frye and Hale of Maine and Perkins of Cal ifornia, Mitchell and Dolph of Oregon, whose states are most particularly ef fected in the lumber industry, occu pied the major portion of the time in the support of Mr. Hale's amendment, a Mr. Walsh, the new senator from Georgia, delivered a carefully pre paredVspeech on the general subject of the tariff. Referring to an asser tion by Mr. Hoar in a recent speech that the South was endeavoring to ruin the industries of New England, he dwelt upon Georgia's extraordina ry resources in raw products and man ufacturing facilities and submitted tabulated statements from the comp--troller general of Georgia, showing the increase in taxable values for the past fifteen years, showing a net in crease of 81iO.949.291. "The senators from the South," he said, "are asking this body to simply carry out the pledges made to the people by the Democratic party to re form the tariff, and. in connection with the tariff reform bill, they cham pion an amendment to It, which pro vides for a tax upon incomes. The South favors the income tax, not from sectional or partisan motives, but be cause it is equitable and right. It is believed to be right, not only in the South, but by the people in every sec tion. "The Wilson bill, as amended in the senate, is a compromise. It will be so construed and accepted by the great majority of the American people who elected President Cleveland and t placed the Democratic party In power." In reference to the silver question he said: "While it is desirable to secure the remonetization of silver by international agreement, still, if the opportunity offered, I would vote for free coinage, with or without in ternational agreement, believing the immense resources and productive energies of this country would enable our government to sustain it on a parity with gold, and compel recogni tion for it from the enlightened gov ernments of Europe." He also favored the repeal of the tax on state bank circulation. At 5:45 the senate went into execu tive session and shortly afterward adjourned. POWERS OF FEDKHAL COURTS. Controversy Over Stats Soversijrnty ill House Judiciary Committee. Wasuixgtox, May 39. Something of a controversy over the state sover eignty question has been stirred up in the house judiciary committee over a bill introduced by Representative De Armond of Missouri, to define the du ties of federal courts regarding con tempts, which provides that state, county or city officers shall not be pun ished for refusal to collect taxes or assessments under the judgments ren dered by federal courts against states, counties or cities where the levying of such taxes shall be contrary to the laws of the state as construed by its highest courts. The bill has been favorably reported om the committee by the Demo crats, and Representative Wolverton of Pennsylvania, in the report giving the views of the majority, explains that it is intended to prevent a fed eral court from overriding the laws of a state by compelling a state officer to violate tbem. In many of the states it is explained there is a limit to the indebtedness which may be contracted or collected without the consent of the people, therefore judg ments beyond a certain amount could not be secured through stute courts and the federal courts are sometimes resorted to. The minority report is drawn bv Representative Ray of New York and j signed by Messrs. Ray, Powers, Stone, I Updegraff and Childs. The report j characterizes the measure as objec tionable, vicious and unpatriotic, one that strikes a blow at good govern ment and would deprive the judicial department of the power to enforce its decree and nullify the purpose for which it was established. It is characterized as an effort to revive state sovereignty. The introduction of the bill is the outgrowth of the imprisonment of the St. Clair county judges by United States Judge Philips. A suggestion for such a measure was contained in a lengthy letter which Governor Stone of Missouri, wrote regarding the imprisonment of the St. Clair county judges. Governor Stone took the position that Judge Philips ex ceeded his rightful authority in im prisoning the judges. He thought that the authority of the United States courts should not go contrary to that of the state courts; that the United States courts should not have the right to enforce a viola tion of. the laws of a state. Judge Philips replied in a lengthy letter, and the controversy created much in terest at the time. Mhtr Knocks Ont Godfrey. .Boston, May 29.

The State board of equalization, in the hearing granted to the various rail Toads doing business are now con fronted by a statement which has he ver before been urged upon them. The roads, 'without an exception, say that they are not doing business tnough, to pay expenses. They urge upon the board that their rolling stock is not now worth what, it was a year ago, for the reason that they have not kept it in as good repair as usual and basidea that they do not now have use for the nmount of rolling stock which they utilized with profit in years past. Much of.jt has been allowed to go to the "bone yard" and is no longer in Service. Railroads report to the board that they have done all in their power to cut expenses down and yet the record for the year is on the wrong side of the ledger. They have reduced their working forces and have not made repairs which ordinarily they would have made and yet the close of the year finds them without a dollar of net profit. For these and other reasons they have urged upon the board that their assessment should be reduced, not raised. Despite the wretched showing made by the railroads diminished earnings and values it is reported that the board intends to increase their assess ment fully 83,000.000. DENIED ADMISSION. Treaty Violated by Czar's Officials Re garding American Citizens. Washixgtojt, May 9. Resolutions to be submitted by Representative Raynor of Maryland, to the house will recite that the Russian government has denied admission to that country of Rabbi Krauskopf, an eminent Hebrew ecclesiastic of Philadelphia, and that this action by Russia is a breach of the treaty which gives American citi zens the right to enter, sojourn and travel in Russia the same as Russian citizens are admitted to this country. The resolution will direct the state department to make a demand on Russia for the full observance of the treaty and, in case of a refusal, will direct the severance ef all treaty rela tions withTiussia. Mr. Raynor says the case of Dr. Krauskopf presents the first issue on the treaty rights of Americans to en ter Russia. There have been other congressional resolutions concerning Jews but they have related to Russian Jews coming to this country. Mr. Raynor. now presents the question of the treaty right of an American to go to Russia without reference to his re ligion or former nationality. The proposed visit of Dr. Krauskopf was for the purpose of visiting the ninth province within which Russia re stricts the Jews, and to ameliorate their condition. BRECKINRIDGE SETTLE. Crowds of People Listen to Addresses by the Colonel and His Competitor. Owkxtos, Ky., May 29. Colonel W. C: P. Breckinridge and Mr. Evan Set tle, competitive candidates for the Democratic nomination for congress from the Ashland district, spoke here yesterday afternoon in the court house yard. Two thousand people were present, including delegates from Scott, Franklin and Henry counties. The court house was too small for the crowd and thj speaking had to go outside. This is Mr. Settle's own county, and his friends and en thusiasm were all on his side. There were Settle banners carried around the public square, and they were cheered vehemently. Mr. Settle introduced Colonel Breck inridge at 1:30. He was greeted with some cheers. When Mr. Evan Settle arose he was unable for some time to begin speak ing on account of the prolonged ap plause. While he was speaking a large number of women came to the meeting and were quite demonstrative in the applause, which was frequent. KELLY IN ST. LOUIS. Hospitably Received "With His Band of Fllgrlm-t, l.OOO Strong:. St. Louis, Mo.. May 29. Kell-'s army, 1,000 strong, arrived in St. Louis last evening from Alton, 111. The commonwealers fleet came to anchor off Ferry street, near the city .water works and the men went ashore, where they will spend their timel in camp until the march, or rather the sail, to Washington is again taken up. They were welcomed by the local labor unions and a big crowd of people. A good supper, provided by the trades and labor unions of the city, awaited the travelers on their arrival. The Kelley army, during its sojourn in Stl Louis, will have no reason to complain of a lack of food, as the labor unions have made. ample preparations for its accommodation. Railway Sbops Closed in Atchison. Atchison, Kan., May 29. The shops of the Cen?ral Branch railroad, which is controlled by the Missouri Pacific, in this city have baen closed down in definitely. The cause given is a de sire upon the part of the management to reduce expenses, and also on ac count of the scarcity of coal, as the result of the prevailing strikes. Sev eral regular freight trains have been discontinued. Can Not Garnishee 'Frisco's Employes. Springfield, Mo., May 29. Federal Court Judge Caldwell has sent word from St. Louis that courts here must cease taking up garnishee cases against employes of the "Frisco rail way.

Arbitration Was Declined by Cripple Creek Miners, And a Clash May Come at Any Time. THEY TOOK COURAGE. Strikers Given Confidence by Gov. Waite's Sympathy. Cripple Cbekk, CoL, May 29. If trouble breaks out again, and it is im possible to see how it can be avoided, the results bid fair to be far more ter rible than those already witnessed. The armistice declared Sunday was made use of by the sheriffs to in crease their forces. Nearly 400 men have been recruited in Denver and only await the slightest outbreak to be forwarded to Cripple Creek and be sworn in as deputies. The strikers seem to have taken courage from the action of Governor Waite and affect to believe that the militia would aid them in carrying out their purposes. Be this as.it may, the entire district is terrorized, and the strikers, being encouraged by the temporary withdrawal of the depu ties, are becoming bolder and more imperative and intolerant. All day strikers have been search ing for the arms and ammunition in the mining camps, and wherever arms, ammunition or provisions were found they were confiscated and re ceipts given for them. No one about the camp, except strikers, are per mitted to crrry arms, and the strikers, wno reign supreme, have issued the order that every able bodied man found in camp when the real contest comes will be forced to carry arms in their ranks. The result is that many people are moving away from the camps to the city of Cripple Creek and elsewhere. xown and county officials are utter ly unable to do anything in the face of such an overwhelming number of desperate men. Parties of men who are in sympathy with the mine owners have gone to Midland, where they will meet the deputies and conduct them through the best routes to the strongest points about the scene of trouble. A large party of strikers has also gone toward Midland to meet the deputies and re tard their progress as much as possi ble. The country about Bull hill, the strikers' stronghold, for eight miles square, is held and patrolled by the strikers. The following was handed out for publication yesterday by mine own ers: President Slocum of Colorado col lege and some other gentlemen inter ested in a peaceful solution of the dif ficulties between the Cripple Creek miners' union and mine owners, had a meeting in Cripple Creek yesterday. The miners agreed to hold a meet ing and determine whether or not they would appoint a committee to meet a committee of mine owners to arbitrate the differences. After the meeting was held, Calderwood, presi deut of the miners' union, called J. J. Hagerman up on the telephone at 3:30 p. m May 27, and informed him that the miners union had appointed a committee to confer with the mine owners, and wanted 'to know when and where a conference could be hel'i. He was asked where he preferred to have it and he said in Cripple Creek. Mr. Hagerman replied that he pre ferred Divide, to which Calderwood consented. In a conversation which then took place over the telephone between Mr. Hagerman and President Calderwood, the latter insisted that none but union men should be employed, to which Mr. Hagerman replied: "We will never consent to any ar rangement which deprives an Ameri can citizen from earning his living without joining the union." President Calderwood then an swered: "There is no use talking; these are our conditions and it is that or nothing." And so the conference ended. COLONEL UP AGAINST IT. No Appeal In the lirecltinridge-Pollard Case. Washington, May 29. Judge Brad ley overruled the motion made by counsel for W. C P. Breckinridge to file a bill of exceptions by virtue of which the suit of Miss Madeline" Pol lard against him might be carried to a higher court on appeal. This action was taken because of the objection ma le by counsel of Miss Pollard that Mr. Breckinridge had not complied with the law requiring that the bill of exceptions be furnished them within three days before the expiration of the time within which the motion to file had been made. Therefore this will prevent an appeal being taken. The Writ of Prohibition Denied. St. Paul, Minn., May 29. The ap plication for a writ of prohibition against the Maney court-martial now being held at Fort Snelling was taken up in the United States district court before Judge Nelson yesterday. Judge Nelson refused to restrain the court-martial from proceeding with the trial of Lieutenant Maney. The court held that the charge was not murder, as claimed, and that Maney appearing in a specification, not a charge, the point was one of pleading rather than of jurisdiction. Ie Armond Indorsed Butler, Mo., May 29. The largest and most enthusiastic Democratic convention ever held tti Jates county convened here yesterday and nom inated a county ticket.

Clans Spreckels has very positive view about the sondition of Hawaiian affairs, where his sugar plantations are. Q"The provisional government," he laid yesterday, "is bound to goto smash. There has not been a revolu tion in the islands, but there will be Due, and no mistake, before long. The measures by which the queen was overthrown were revolutionary snough, but the whole proceedings were as quiet as a district school elec tion. "There are 14,000 voters on the islands, but the provisional govern ments represents but 3,000 of that number. The natives, as a mass, and s large per centage of the whites, are either openly in favor of the reigning house, or, at all events, opposed to the present government. The natives are not to be despised. They are smart people, many of them highly educat ed, and their representative leaders are men of fine attainments orators, legislators and diplomats of no mean ability. "A revolution under the circum stances is unavoidable. So overwhelm ing and able a majority is not to be kept down by a show of force that a little preparation could so easily, overcome."

Slam's Rice Crop Damaged by floods. Washington, May 29. In a recent report to the department of state, United States Consul Boyd, at Bang kok, says that owing to protracted floods, the rice crop of Siam, just be ing harvested, does not amount' To more than 65 or 70 per cent of a full crop and the quality is 90 per cent. The consul sees a fine opportunity for the introduction of agricultural im plements and machinery suitable for rice culture. Leavenworth Miners Return fo Work. Leavenworth, Kan.. May 29. The prospect of a strike among the Leav enworth miners is fast falling away. The "Home" shaft miners decided yesterday afternoon by a vote of 88 to 26 not to strike, but to remain at work. The Missouri miners have broken camp across the river and the majority left for their homes in Ray county. 'Baseball Results. At Kansas City Kansas City 27, Detroit 4.

Sedalia, Mo., May 29. The Missou ri Pacific shops here were shut down at noon yesterday on an order re ceived from headquarters, ordering a suspension of all work for the re mainder of the month.

This is a fact Saved Her Life Surgical Operations and Best Medical Treatment Failod An Almost Miraculous Cure by Hood's Sarsaparllla. Chicago, Illinois. C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass.: Beginning In February, '92, I was very sick (or two iinoDths. Slowly I got better but wat confined to my bad. A physician said I bad a Pelvic Abscess In My 8lde. After an operation I did not Improve, the ab scess continuing to discharge even more freely than before. In two months time three opera tions were performed and tubes Inserted to carry off the Impurities, but all tn vain. Finally It was decided that my life depended upon another operation and that I must be removed to the hospital. About three weeks previous to this I had noticed an advertisement In the Daily News of a case where Hood's Karaprill baa cured a hoy somewhat similarly anlicted in Trenton, N. J., and I decided to give it a trial. When the time decided upon for me to fro to the hospital arrived I had been taking Hood's ti&r saparllla about two weeks. I Was Cettlng Better and the abscess bad already began to discharge less freely. I felt stronger and had a terrible appetite. Frevious to this I had given up to die. When I had taken the second bottle I was able to sit np and accordingly I was not taken to the hospital and the final operation was deferred. Knur T have taken six bottles and the abscess has entirely healed. I am well and go every where. My friends think it is a miracle to have me restored to them again so healthy and even younger in looks than before my sickness. I Feel Better Than Ever I did in my life and weigh over 130 pounds, the heaviest In my life. I do a big day's work and am gaining in strength every day.

CONGRESS IS ACTIVE Bat It is in Preparing for Campaigns at Home. Washington, May 29. Special. Although the date of adjournment is still painfully uncertain and the issues of the campaign not completely made up, the political activity increases rapidly, and at least half the members of the house are devoting as much thought to their districts as to their duties here. At the headquar ters of the respective congressional com mittees the work is active, the books are kept posted to date, and each secretary can tell every night just how many of his party have been, nominated. So far but 10 Democrats and 14 Republicans have been entered in the race for the Fifty-fourth congress, but the conventions will be nu merous in June, and, according to the man agers of both parties, it ia expected that tho percentage of new men and old mem bers so far maintained will continue. Ont For Business. "In Missouri," says Champ Clark, "we are in it early, and wo are in it for stuff. Mr. Cobb of St. Louis, Mr. Burnes of St. Joe and Mr. Fyan of away down south west have declined renomination, and that throws the decision in their districts a lit tle late. I am renominated, as you know. John Heard, of the Seventh has delegates enough to nominate him, and so has Marsh Arnold of the Fourteenth. We have known for some time that Morgan of the Fifteenth had enough to renominate him if they did not bolt, but they have been acting queer ly. Of course Dockery, Hatch, Bland and Tarsney are down for renomination and re-election, but there is no news in that. John J. O'Neill says he will be renomi nated also, but some have doubted it." It appears, according to the statement of oth ers, that Mr. Hall of the Second district had made a brilliant canvass and secured a large majority of the delegates when he went to the state convention and made a fight for a plank indorsing Mr. Cleveland, whereupon nearly one-half of his delegates indignantly flopped. After learning that ho flew about like a suddenly beheaded hen, and what with getting appointments here which he had neglected and other well known processes slowly built up his fences again. A Glance at Indiana. In the state of Indiana, so eay all the Democratic members, there will be some desperately contested districts. In the First Mr. Taylor was renominated on the 24th inst., and at first view it would seem that tho chances were against hira a thou sand or so to one, but he is popular with the labor element, and the Republicans have opened the fight against him with a party schism and a split in their conven tion. In the Second Mr. Bretz will bo re nominated, of course, but in the Third Jason Brown has to give place to ex-Congressman Stockslaeger, who was commis sioner of the land office in Cleveland's first term. Mr. Holman will be renominated by acclamation, and his friends think he will come in with a whoop, but in the next district George William Cooper, who will bo renominated on the 10th of June, will have a hard pull, for the leading manufac turers are against him, and the Populists in that district are, in the local dialect, "powerful uncertain." Mr. Bynum of the capital district will have an equally hard pull for the same reasons. Mr. Brookshire of the Eighth will be re nominated July 25,and further this depo nent saith not. The Populists had 2,828 votes in that district in 1802, and they are, as the local slang puts it, ''both numerous and cantankerous." In the Ninth Dan Waugh, present Republican member, ac cording to the rule of that district of two terms only, retires for some Republican yet to be named. In the Tenth Tom Ham mond will be nominated, and as his plural ity was only 49 a child can see what that means in a year like this. Mr. MoNagny of the Twelfth will bs renominated, and experts of both parties say his chances de pend upon Fort Wayne and Allen county generally, which "has been acting mighty queer of lato." Mr. Conn of the Thir teenth will also be renominated. It is in the Eleventh district that there will bo fun, for Mr. Martin's plurality was only 758, and the Republicans have put up against him the veteran George W. Steele, who haa such n splendid army record. Matters In Other States. At Republican headquarters the records show the following additional nomina tions already made in Indiana: Charles J. Henry in the Seventh, Jesse Overstreet in the Fifth and A. M. Hardy in tho Second. In Illinois there has been but one nomina tion, the present member, G. W. Smith, in tho Twentieth district. In Kansas, ac cording to reports, the local lighting is al ready as lively as it Is elsewhere in the last month of the campaign. In the Third district Chester I. Long, a new man, has been nominated as against the Populist member, T. J. Hudson, and in the Fifth W. A. Calderhead against Populist John Davis. In the Fourth Mr. Curtis has been renominated, and his success is taken as a matterof course. In Pennsylvania Messrs. Dalzell, Stone and Phillips have leen re nominated and Matthow Grlswold put up In the Twenty-sixth district against the present Democratic member, Mr. Sibley. In the First Tennessee W. C. Anderson has been nominated to succeed the present Mr. Taylor, and he will doubtless do so, as the Republican majority is about 5,000. In the Second there has been a great row, and whether a nomination has or has not been mada depends upon the point of view. However, Mr. Houk's majority was over 11,000, and the Republicans there can afford to quarrel. Hard Work and No RUki. Besides the foregoing the Democrats have nominated Walter I. Hayes, present member, in the Second Iowa; Rolla K. Hart, an entirely new man, in the Ninth Kentucky; F. C. Layton, present mem ber, In the Fourth Ohio, end Messrs. J'. K. Weathersford and J. H. Haley in Ore gon, both very new and very ambitious men, though it is not claimed, that they will get much more out of it than the fun of running. The recent renomination of Henry C. Snodgrass in the Third Tennes see completes the Democratic list. It is conceded on each side that the other side is proceeding with great caution, taking no extra risks and renominating the pres ent member wherever their record is good i and their strength not lessened since 1882. The Democrats concede some losses in the south, and that they must capture 65 dis tricts anyhow in the north te be sure of a working majority. They further concede that every district where their plurality In 1893 was less than 1,500 is to be labeled close and doubtful and looked after accord ingly, but they are not yet ready to specify the district in the north on which they have bet to lose.

The Tariff Bill will Probably eo to the President. Washington, May 29 The tariff lead ers do not expect to have another long tariff debate in the house when the bill comes back from the senate. On the contrary the belief is that ten days will be ample to settle all differences between the house and senate. The calculation is that the house will get through with the bill by June 15 or lbth so that the ten days allowed for re conciling differences will permit the bill to go to the president for his signature before June closes.

Captain Artz said to a Journal re porter today that since last night's meet ing at the courthouse, at least no less than thirty applications have been made for admission to his company of Sanders' army. "I have refused all of them, Artz says, "because we intend to take just fifty men out of Topeka and we don t want any more unless we can get an even hundred, lhis is because we want the Topeka men kept separate from the rest and there are OU men eacn in Sanders' companies. If we stay here until Thursday I expect no trouble in leaving Topeka with two companies in stead of only one." Artz stated also that he had received no later advices from General banders than the letter read at the court house last night and printed elsewhere in this issue. CLEAR FROM EUROPE.

Gov. Waitk ought to be ashamed to consent to arbitration before he has bared his broa-it to bullets. Mrs, Artz, so far as reported, seems to be the only person who isn't perfectly willing that Ariz should go. lr religious differences get mixed in with the Cripple Creek affair there will be no use trying to prevent bloodshed. Ix these days of progress heretics are getting to be almost as plentiful as mug wumps. The only people who seem to be mak ing anything out of the miners' strike are the Winchester Repeating Arms com pany. If Mr. Gladstone keeps on regaining his health in the way the bulletins sent out indicate, he will be a young man again in a very short time. Mr. Lkase wept when talked to of his wife's illness and said he would go to her but he couldn't leave the children. The mother instinct is ever strong. Quite a snow has fallen in southern France and northern Spain but as long as the frost keeps out of Xew York the imported wine crop will be uninjured. Is whatever light the action of the Presbyterian general assembly In regard to Prof. Smith may be viewed its action on temperance is undeniably orthodox. The senate bribery committee is in teresting itself not so much in finding out what the influence of the sugar trust was as how on earth it was ever found out. The house has repealed the law dock ing the salary of members for absence. They couldn't see the justice of a law that only allowed them pay for what they did. The trouble between Lillian Russell and Perugini seems to have arisen be cause the latter wanted to act like her husband instead of keeping his proper place as lacquey. When East Atchison people go to bed nowadays they have no assurance that they will not be tossing on the bosom of the Missouri somewhere near Kansas City in the morning. The first sentence ia the first editorial in Webb McXall'a paper, the Lebanon Criterion, says: "The convention at Phil lipsburg done its work well." That's more than can be said of Webb's school teacher. The Washington Star has the follow ing in black headlines: "Man-beast of Kentucky. Hideous thing lives in a cave near Harrodsburg." One would take it from this that Breckinridge was still creating excitement down there. Senator Jones thinks the final vote on the tariff bill will be reached in the senate by June 15. When he thinks the bouse will get through with those four hundred amendments when the bill comes back he probably didn't care to say. W. E. Brat is a new candidate for the Populist nomination as secretary of state. His name ought to commend him strong ly to every good Populist, though even on that recommendation he would have hard work to fill the place of the present incumbent. In Illinois, Pennsylvania and Colorado miners are rioting and shooting and dep uties have had to be called out, while in Kansas they are all at work or going to work. It might be well to deny the former states representation until they become civilized. William E. Brat of Emporia ia the latest announced Populist candidate for secretary of state, llr. Bray was a Re publican four years ago and was deputy register of deeds of Lyon county. He was the Populist candidate for county clerk last fail but was defeated. XOT EVEX MEXTIOXED. In the' Nashville American, one of the largest and best papers published in the south, have 'been printed for several days from two to three pages descriptive of the meeting of the National Confer ence of charities. The meeting is a big one and one of the most important of the year. The American has published tho speeches and essays of the delegates, many of them in full, and others in syn opsis. Nearly every state in the Union is represented. But nowhere is Kan3a9 mentioned. She has evidently taken a back seat. Accustomed as our people are to occupying a conspicuous place in pub lie assemblages of this character, Kansas seenu in this instance to have been crowded into the background. Is this because Governor Lewelling appointed a lot of nobodies and nonentities, of whieh he has a large collection always at hand to choose from, to "go to Nash ville? It Isn't the least of things for Kansas people to complain of that their linancial standing has been hurt by the accession of the Popu lists to power. It is because the state has been insulted Intellectually as well. While the Populists have a few brainy people among them, who are not a wet blanket in auy assemblage of bright peo ple, there are a host of them occupying places of prominence who are like quacking ducks among swans; particular ly when sent to a convention to represent Kansas. The fact that Kansas is not putting her beat foot forward when mat ter of culture, taste and education are in question, is what is mortifying to the best people of our state. Wre have a col lection of delegates at Nashville just now who don't dare open their mouths among their intellectual superiors, or If they do, no heed is paid to them. IXDEPEX1) EXT ACTIO X. The Atlanta Constitution says in regard to the free coinage of silver: What stands in the way of independent action by the United States? What is to prevent this couutry from opening its mints to the coinage of silver on the same terms with gold? We are told by those whose ignorance has been played upon by the "phrase "sound money" (which is pure cant and hypocrisy when applied to money that is constantly increasing in value) thit the moment our mints are open to silver our stock of gold will dis appear and that instead of having a bi metallic standard we shall have the sin gle silver standard, which will place our currency upon a level with that of Mex ico. Now, it is difficult to deal with an as sumption. When men with whom you are discussing a question deliberately abandon arguments and facts and logic, and rest their whole case on an assump tion, you cannot meet them with argu ments. It is an assumption that the law of supply and demand will suddenly be come inoperative. There is no reason given for it, but it is assumed that the de mand of sixty-five million people for sil ver when that metal is made a money metal will have no effect on its value. It is assumed that 412 1-2 grains of standard silver will be worth 48 or 49 cents in our own markets at the same moment that it could be exchanged for a legal tender dollar at the mints. It is assumed that 412 1-2 grains of silver will be worth about 50 cents in England and continen tal Europe at the same moment that it can be sent to this country and exchang ed for a dollar's worth of cotton, wheat, petroleum, or any other commodity which this country sends abroad. Irrigation in the west is a necessity, and should be made a fact in more local ties than it is. It is well known that an immense quantity of land that would otherwise be most valuable as a produc ing region has long been and is still bar ren because of its lack of sufficient moisture to insure the growth of vegeta tion. The discovery of rainmaking and its subsequent advancement and use will no do much to remedy the evil, but it is too uncertain and too far removed to de pend on. Irrigation is the only sure way to make the arid lands of the west fertile and wealth producing. There are two objects in the irrigation idea, the laet of which does not appear at first on the surface. If congress could be in duced to make an appropriation for the irrigation of western lands an enormous number of now idle men could be given work. Congress should drop the $100, 000,000 appropriation now intended for the Nicaragua canal and use it to make the barren lands of the west tillable and yielding. Couid anything be more prof itable to all concerned than this? Let Us have irrigation and let ui have it as soon as possible. The Marion county convention endors ed and instructed delegates to the Popu list congressional convention, to be held at Emporia Jane 20, to vote for the nomi nation of Judge C. E. Foote. Judge Foote has frequently been mentioned as a candidate for the nomination, but he has denied that he would go before the convention. Now that his home County has instructed for him, it is as good as certain that he will make a fight for the nomination in the convention. It has been generally understood that it was his failure to get the Republican nomination for congress In this district that finally induced J udge Foote to become a Popu list; at any rate his sudden change of opinion la open to the suspicion. With a prize fight and a Christian Endeavor- convention in town the same day, Topeka is getting quite metropoli tan.

Senate Bribery Committee to Proceed Aeklfllt Edward and Shriver for A'an Urapt, Washington, May 29. Senator Gray, chairman of the select committee to in vestigate the alleged operations of the sugar trust in connection with the" tariff legislation, today submitted a partial re port of the proceedings of that commit tee bearing upon the refusal of the newspaper correspondents, Edwards, Shriver and Walker to answer1 questions propounded by members of the com mittee. Edwards said: "That I suppose, I shall have to decline to answer; I do it with the utmost respect to the committee and the senate. The information was given to me under obligations of the highest confidence by the one who entailed that obligation so that I do not feel at liberty to reveal his name." The witness requested time ia which to consult counsel, which request was granted. The following day, on the 25th of May, Edwards reappeared before the committee, oceompanied by his counsel, when the committee through their chair man, repeated the question. Whereupon the witness by his counsel .filed his ob jections to answering the question. Hill Submitted to Brokers. The several objections were overruled. The report then gives the various ques tions asked of Mr. Edwards and which he declined to answer. They include the question about Mr. Carlisle also re garding the informant as to the meet ing of senators in a Washington hotel with representatives of the sugar trust Also the statement that the sugar schedule was in the hands of Moore and Schley, brokers, before being re ported to the senate and also as to the statement that the Sunday before the tariff bill was reported, there had been a delegation of sugar trust representatives at the capitol who dictated the sugar schedule. To each of these questions Edwards said the same person gave him the information and declined to give his name. The report next cites the examination of John S. Shriver, another Washington correspondent, who on being shown a copy of a dispatch to his paper on the 19th inst, relating to the particulars of an alleged conference on a night while the tariff bill was in committee at the Arlington, between certain senators and members of the sugar trust, which had been overheard by a wire manufac turer occupying an adjoining room, ad mitted having sent the dispatch to the paper, but refused to give the name of his informant. Didn't Improve His Chance. The committee dwelt upon one para graph from Mr. Shriver's. article, read ing as follows: "There are a number of senators who will be glad if this investigation should fail, simply because then they could charge the correspondents with circu lating scandalous reports and have another chance to denounce' the press upon the senate floor. But if the news paper men are given a chance to tell all they know, some interesting develop ments will be made." The recommendation of the committee is as follows: In the opinion of the com mittee each question put to each of said witnesses was a proper question and pertinent to the question under inquiry before the committee and was necessary to make the examination ordered and that each of said witnesses is in con tempt of the senate and ought to be dealt with for "a is misconduct. The law provides a fine of sot more than $1,000, nor less than $500, and im prisonment in a common jail of not more than one year nor less than a nonth. Senator Gray has prepared and sub mitted to the vice president a warrant directing the district attorney to proceed against the witnesses Edwards and Shriver under the act of 1885. SENATE DISCUSSES THE REPORT. 11111 Says It Isn't Privileged and Appeals From the Chair's Decision. Washington, May 29. At the conclus ion of the reading of the report of the investigating committee discussion was renewed as to whether or not It was a privileged one. Mr. .Hill said that the matter of speculation in sugar stock would involve only a question of pro priety. Senator Lodge said this was a question of parliamentary law. The report of the contumacy of a witness was a ques tion of highest privilege. The only thing before the senate was for the chair to decide whether the matter was a priv ileged report. Vice President Stevenson ruled that it was u privileged report. The effect of the decision would be to shut off debate upon the report. Mr. Hill appealed from the decision of the chair and asked to be heard. He made a vigorous speeoh against the de cision. The holding by the vice president that the presentation of the report was privil eged, means that the report will be cer tified to the district attorney for pro ceedings against Edwards and Schriver.

The health committee of the city coun cil, which is composed of Councilmen Ettlinger, Stevens, Pattlson and Griggs, met last night to consider Mr. Bradford's license ordinance, which Was rejected at the last council meeting.

The committee will probably meet again to consider the ordinance before the meeting next Mon day night. Jerry Nlmpaon Steadily Improving;. Washington, May 29.

Americans Visit the Pope. Rome, May 29. The Pope today re ceived the Right Rev. James Schwebach, D. D. bishop of La Crosse, Wis., and the Right Rev. Thomas Daniel Bevan, D. D., bishop of Springfield, Mass. A BEAUTEFUL CEREMONY. I Ninety Person Confirmed at the Church of tftue Assumption. Last evening1 the Church of the As sumption was the scene of a very beauti ful and impressive service. There were 90 persons confirmed. This service only takes place every two years and is one of the most solemn of the ceremonies of the Catholic ehurch. Of the 90 confirmed there were those ranging in age from 12 to 63 years, and the ladies wore white robes, veils and wreaths of flowers. The gentlemen wore plain black units. Miss Mary Horner made the responses for the ladies, and William Hanley for the gentlemen. The Right Reverend Bishop Burke conducted the confirmation service and was assisted by the Very Reverend Fathers F. M. Hayden, M. Cavanaugh, Thomas Moore, Frank Henry and E. AL Cool en. Confirmation can only be administered by a bishop as the bishops are supposed to have received the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost. As the bishop confirmed each one he repeated the following: "I confirm thee with the holy chrism of salvation in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen. The holy chrism is a mixture of olive oil and balsam and is blessed once a year by the right reverand ordinary at each respective diocese on holy Thursday. After confirming each candidate the bishop gave each a stroke on the cheek to remind them that they are to suffer all kinds of insults. Preceding the administration of the sacrament, the bishop explained the meaning of the confirmation. The sermon that was delivered by the Right Reverend Bishop Burke, was one full of interesting and instructive facts. He told the duty of a true Catholic and scored the secret or ders that are striving to injure the Catholics. He evidently referred to the A. P. A. He advised all Catholics to try and live as patriots and good lives as that of Charles' Carleton of Maryland, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence. The altar of the church was a beauti ful sight. There were flowers in profu sion, and a large number of lights and candles. The church was crowded. Seldom is there such a throng as assembled in the auditorium. There were several Protestant clergy men and many other visitors present. The special music was exceptionally fine. BAKER TURNED DOWN. His Own County Instructs A. N. Whit tlngton for Congress. Congressman William Baker, who has been representing the Sixth district in congress by the consent of the Populist voters of that section of the state, has been turned down by the convention held in Lincoln county, his own home, on Saturday. The Lincoln county Populists endorsed A. N. Whittington, and the delegation to the congressional convention to be held at Colby, June 6th, was instructed for htm. The turning down of Baker by his own home county has given Secretary of State Osborn hope that he may yet cut some figure in the Colby convention and go to Washington as a congressman. WALKS IN W ALNUT GROVE. The People There Do Kot Want to Lay Brick: Sidewalks. The streets and walks committee of the city council will hire a wagon and drive over that part of the Fifth ward known as Walnut Grove, next Thursday, to look at some of the sidewalks which Inspector Brussman has condemned, and which unless released will have to be superceded by brick sidewalks. The complaints from that part of the city be tween the fair grounds and Kansas avenue have been prolonged and persis tant and as Councilman Fulton lives in that part of town and is also chairman of the streets and walks committee, the chances are that a part of the condemned walks will be released. The people say that when the Shunganunga overflows Its banks, as it does nearly every spring, it washes mud and debris up on the brick sidewalks that makes them worse than nothing. But Mr. Brussman and Street Commissioner Nay lor say it Is better to have a brick side walk with mud on, than to have a lot of wooden walks that float off every time the place is flooded. He says if the peo ple will buy 1200-pound anchors and put one at each end of the Walk he will re lease them from condemnation. Mr. Naylor Bays that when the sidewalks float off the property owners get one back, but they always complain because their walk was a good one and the one they got back Is a bad walk. The streets and walks committee is composed of J. T. Fulton, chairman, and Messrs. Burgess, Pattison and Stephen son. ABOUT IRRIGATION. Mr. Cobnrn Sees Light Ahead for Settlers in Western Kansas. Secretary Ceburn of the State Depart ment of Agriculture ia back today from a six-days trip to" the southwest. He inspected the principal irrigation plants, including the state station near Garden City, also those at and about Dodge City, and attended the very suc cessful and enthusiastic irrigation con vention at the latter place on Saturday. He maintains that the settlers of west ern Kansas are the pluckiest people on earth, and that through their efforts to discover and utilize the possible and probable water supply that region is likely to be among the most fruitful and profitably productive in the state. So far as successfully Irrigating by means Of the underflow in the immediate Ar kansas valley is concerned Its feasibility seems already thoroughly demonstrated; he says.

ST? ATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 29, 1S!M THREE AT ONE TIME. Kemarkablo Activity of the Chris tian Churcn in Topeka. THREE FINE CHURCH BUILDINGS All or the Christian Denomination (Joins Vp at Ouee-Tbl Breiks the Ilerord on Church Building- in the Weot. t There are three Christian churches be ing built In the city at the present time. This is a most remarkable state of af fairs, for it very rarely happens that there are three churches of the same de nomination in coursd of constructioa at the same time and in the same city. The main Christian church, the "First" church, is being- bnilt on ftie" east side of Topeka avenue, between Sixth and Seventh. The North Topeka Christian church is in course of erection, at the corner of Central avenue and Grant street, and the Third Christian church is at the corner of Brannef and Third streets. The First church will be an imposing structure of Colorado lava stone. The foundation of the main auditorium is in place and the chapel was built some years ago. The entrance will be copied after the handsome arch entrance to the Plymouth Congregational church of Cleveland, Ohio. The front window will be a memorial to the Christian Endeavor societies of the state, and will be especially designed for that purpose. The editlce will cost $25,000, but only about fS,5X) will be expended at the present rate. The church has a membership of 350. The North Topeka church has a mem bership of 15tf. The foundation for the new edifice is now in place and the build ing will be pushed to completion. It will be a frame building and will cost f a.O'Ki. Rev. M. Ingels is the pastor. The Third church will be a stone edi fice and will cost $2,500. There are 425 members in this flourishing church and Rev. F. E. Mallory is the pastor. Rev. 15. L. Smith has done much to start this church boom. J. C. Holland is the architect for the First church, and H. 1L Iladley for the other two churches. HERE'S ECJITAL SUFFRAGE. Mrt. W. I- Munn Hauling- Stan For the e w Christian. hnrrh. The North Topeka Christian church, which is being built at tne corner of Central avenue and Grant street, is being constructed by the donations of work and cash by the members and friends of the congregation. The men are not doing all the work, for the ladies of the church don't pro pose to be outdone and they won't be satisfied with simp'.y the proceeds of an occasional ice cream social. The are do ing just "as much work as the male members. Mrs. W. L. JIude, one of the leading members of the church, is hauling stone from Deer creek for the foundation and walls of the new church. Attired in a calico dress and a gingham sunbonnet she leave every morning for the quar ries. Mr. Mann works for Parkhurst, Davis Co., and is not able to do any work on the church himself, but Mrs. Munn a few day ago made up her mind she could make $3 a day for the church by hauling stone. They have one horse and she borrowed another from a neighbor and fitted up a team and stone wagon and is now hauling as many cords of tone every day as any of the male team sters. The stone has been donated to the church. The hauling is donated and the only expense is for quarrying the stone, for which is paid 8J cents a cord. Sirs. Munn left home bright and early this morning with her team for the Deer creek quarries and will continue in this work until enough stone is on the ground to finish the foundation. FOR THEIR "HEALTH." I-ee Jobi to Start a Drggilort at Ress- vllle. The Roasville News contains the fol lowing: Lee Jones of Topeka, has hired the north store of the Fritz block, and in the early days of July he will put a large drugstore stock into it. Ilia fixtures will be new so as to harmonize with the new store. He is very much pleased with our trim little city. The onlv discour aging thing he discovers is the healthi ness of our citizens, who don't seem to be in need of drugs. Well, this healthi ness he can turn to hia own advantage. Just let him advertise RoBsville as a health resort, at which invalids can shake off all their ailments by breath ing pure air and sipping pure drugs and he will sell lots of medicine, in spite of the good health the permanent resi dents enjoy. After reading the above about Lee. Jones' Interest in the health (and sobrie ty) of the people of Rossville, it is in or der for everybody to indulge in a broad smile. NEW CORPORATIONS.

Political Opinions Held, by the Re publican Candidate FOB CONGRESS IN THE FIFTH. lie Is a Hish Protective Tariff Kim, A rat I- Free Silver Coinage and Thinks the Cexer Movement Will Increase Tasraata. V. A Calderhead of Marysville, Re publican candidate for congress in the Fifth district, is perhaps the least known of prominent Kansas politicians. He has been county attorney of Marshall county. He ia a tall man of military bearing with iron gray hair and mustiffche and brown eyes of the kind sometimes characterized as "gentle." He speaks slowly and deliberately and gives one the impression that there is a considera ble latent force in his makeup. Promi nently displayed is the G. A R button on his lapel. "I think," said Mr. Calderhead to a re porter, "that there is no general opposi tion among the Populists to the renomi nation of Davis. There will also be a Democratic candidate in the field. It is too early to talk about my prospects of election but Burton left the district in excellent condition and if hard work will win I shall be elected." "What are the prospects of woman suffrage in your district;-" "I think there will be no issue made of woman suffrage. It is a sentiment among our people that the party plat forms should not be loaded down with side issues and I do not expect a plank of that kind in the state platform." "What will be the issue in your fight?" "The tariff and the money question will form the principal themes. The protective tariff is a Republican meas ure and will be insisted upon as against the adverse tariff legislation of other na tions. "It has always been the Intention of the Republican party to maintain the parity of the two metals gold and sil ver upon a ratio that will not depreci ate the value of either." "To what do you attribute the de pressed financial condition?" asked the reporter. "In the first place the Democratic party coming into power upon a platform that declared that all protective tariff laws were unconstitutional, led business men to expect that the protective tariff law would be entirely repealed at the earliest opportunity and business men generally began to prepare themselves to meet that condition ty limiting their manufactories and contracts for sales of their products; and merchants generally began to limit their purchases. New enterprises wait to see what the new condition would be and they are still waiting. "I don't know how much to say about the uncertainty that arose from the disproportionate increase of the silver coinage but undoubtedly many business men were afraid of it and limited their investments and enter prises until they could ascertain what was going to be done with the silver coinage. The suspension of the new en terprises and closing of others and the general cessation of business threw large numbers of men out of employment in the country and destroyed their purchas ing power, destroying the home market for most of our agricultural products, and in turn the discontent that arises amongst the vast army of the unem ployed. The discontent amongst those whose wages are reduced altogether makes capital very timorous and the money of the country is also taking a rest from business." Mr. Calderhead said the Coxey move ment "is folly and will result in an in crease of the army of vagrants." WAR AS A REMEDY. A Topeka Cltiaen Who Suggests Killing Off the Population to Make Good Times. To the Editor of the State Journal. Sir: It is evident that something must be done and that soon, to relieve the in dustrial condition of mankind. There is not only a vast number of unemployed people in the world, but there is also a vast amount of unemployed capital as welL The man of means who can find a remunerative investment for his capital knows no more where to look than the one who is seeking employment. The field is already occupied and competition is so great that failure is almost certain. The "on to Washington" movement of the moneyed interests had but fairly started when the "on to Washington" movement of the unemployed set in. That congress will find the relief asked by these potent factions of civilization is beyond our expectation. As the subject is the all absorbing one, we hear various reliefs suggested by thinking men. Two or three Topeka citizens of prominence have suggested "war." If civilization cannot adjust itself to the present con ditions by other methods than destruc tion of life, then it is the duty of con gress to stir up a row with some foreign country that half of our people may offer up their lives on the altar of patriotism and thus furnish relief to those remain ing. I read in the dispatches a few days ago that our flag had been trailed in the dust by some Canadians. Here is the opportunity, and congress should take advantage of it. Thousands of men may be had by the asking of them and mil lions of capital stands ready for invest ment in bonds to carry on the war. A bloody contest could, be waged in a month's time, and after the skies have cleared from the smoke of cannon and the dead laid to rest, work would be had on every side; strikes and failures would cease and peace and pros perity reign. Chaos Vanquishkix P. S. While writing the above the thought occurred to me that wars have their drawbacks, and are not always as destructive as we might wish. It takes on the average 500 shots to kill one man say the statisticians; thus the employment of capital and labor would not be equal; and again only the patriotic enlist, and a war coming so soon after the rebellion (which furnished such an object lesson in money making by those who stayed at home) enlisting might not be as at tractive as speculation. Hence I would suggest another means of destruction which I believe would be sure and more humane. Infect a large number of our people with smallpox, yellow fever and cholera, (as Chancellor Snow does the chinch bugs) and send them broadcast; remove all quarantine restrictions and prohibit the practice of medicine say for a period of one year.

The Concession to Ex-Consul Waller May Mtan Much to Americana Beaonreea of the Island Queer C us turns of ths Na tives. The discovery of a new rubber tree in Madagascar a year or so ago haa proved, a big bonanza for the natives anal worked a commercial revolution in the island. Small traders whose most avaricious dreams formerly did not ex tend beyond the possession of a few hundred piasters as the result of 1 5 or 20 years of hard work have suddenly achieved comparative riches, and the price of raw rubber has been quintupled by the keen competition of purchasers. If the reported concession to John L. "Waller, ex-United States consul at Ta matave, be confirmed, it is likely to make a great change in our trade rela tions with the Malagasian kingdom and may lead to some interesting diplomatic complications with France. The French have for several years ex ercised a sort of protectorate over the country and are very jealous of other foreigners gaining any influence in its concerns. This jealousy is particularly marked in the case of Americans, for our consul is the only foreign representative who takes his exequatur directly from the queen's government, thus acloiowl- RAKAVALONl, QUEEN OF BtADAGASCAR. edging her as the ruler of the island. The other consuls take their exequaturs from the French representatives, though the island does not belong to France, and the French are quite powerless in its domestic affairs. Thuy have consid erable influence, however, in determin ing the foreign policy of the country and maintain there a resident general with a military suit, though the Mada gascar government refuses to recognize their right to do so. Madagascar is now nominally ruled by the native queen, Ranavalona III, a woman of 83 years, who succeeded to the throne in 1883 and the same year married her prime minister. The gov ernment is an absolute monarchy, in which the prime minister usually man ages the sovereign and makes puppets of his subordinate ministers. The prime minister, who rejoices in the simple and euphonious name of Rainilaiarivony, is not of royal blood. He is a shrewd old fellow, more than 60 years of age and very much alive. He rose to power by assassinating his predecessor during the reign of the pre vious queen. It has always been the rule that the prime minister should bo the husband of the queen. The former queen was married to the predecessor of the present prime minister. Another curious custom of the island is the compulsory duty imposed by the queen on all the foreign members of her court to render service once a month at her table. All these gentlemen carry rice and chicken to her majesty. They have the further pleasure of crawling on their knees before her once a month in the throneroom. On this occasion the queen sits on a throne and wears a solid gold crown which weighs 4 pounds. Few people realize the vast area of Madagascar. It is the largest island in the world, counting Australia among the continents. Its greatest length is 400 miles, with an average width of 250 miles, and the population is variously estimated at from 1,000,000 to 1,250, 000. The general name of the inhabit ants is Malagasy, but they are divided into at least 45 tribes. It is a popular idea that the Malagasy are negroes. As a matter of fact, they are Malays. There are "wide differences between the tribes.. The most numerous are the Sakalavas, whtf constitute about a third of the population and -a"re the most war like and savage of any of the island peo ples. They are averse to civilization. They are not cannibals, but they are naturally lazy and stupid. They have a fine physique and average over 6 feet in height, but they are by far the darkest aborigines from much mixing with the 6lave population. The Hovas, the second largest tribe on the island, comprise less than a fourth of the whole population. They are much smaller than the Sakalavas, averaging only a little above 5 feet. They have straight, regular features and take very kindly to civilization. They are intelligent and quick to learn and have preserved the strong feeling of caste that exists among the natives of India. The Hovas are the ruling tribe, all the kings and queens of Madagascar having been Hovas. The Hovas do not mix largely with the other tribes, and their dark hair is straight, long, fine and abundant, while that of the Saka lavas is kinky, though it cannot be called woolly. The concession granted to Mr. Waller is said to cover 225 square miles of the southern part of the island and to in clude the right to cut other valuable timber as well as the rubber tree. Mr. Waller, it will be remembered, was a prominent colored Republican of Kansas City and was appointed consul at Tama tave, the principal port of Madagascar, by President Harrison.

A ROMANCE OF SOUTH CHICAGO. Or Why Gladys Gertrude Alice Vera Re jected Him. Athwart the dark midautumn sky the moon was riding cold and drear.

On South Chicago'smetal roofs the damp and dismal raindrops fell. The night wind bore upon its wings a specimen of stock- A STALWART FOKM 0S BENDED KNEE. yards' smell. It was a rather siokly night, and yet the only night on file, and grown up men who couldn't laugh were known to go and take a smile. But ah, ah mel Why thus digress? Our tale is one of love and woe, and little boots it if the rain falls on the roofs or floors below. "My darling," cried the lover then, "you promised once that you'd be mine. Why stand aloof and spurn me thus? Oh, you are mine, and I am thine!" She viewed him with a scornful eye. The moon in grandeur rode the while. A pc er struck a slippery place and fell about a If a mile. The smoke from distant chirr rose it hadn't sense enough, to fall silence deep and dense and dark ju and brooded over all. She viewed him a scornful eye. She viewed him with o scornful eyes, and then she cried: "Ava. itl Avoort! Go help thy mother making p.s! On you and me as plighted ones this moon must never, never shine. The man who bets on Anson's Colts can't register as hub of mine!" Exeunt omnes. Chicago Tribune. A Cute Justice. It was the law of the village that all show men, itinerants and organ grinders must get a license before doing business there. One day a fat policeman, who had been on the force about six months without doing anything, concluded it was time he arrested somebody. Soon afterward along came an Italian with a performing bear. "Hev yez got yer license?" asked the po liceman. "No," said the exhibitor of the bear. "Then yer my priz'ners," said the police man, and he triumphantly marched off with them to the village station house, he leading the Italian and the Italian leading the bear. Arraigned before the police justice, the Italian pleaded guilty, and the judge offi ciously gave him a most severe and scorch ing lecture on the enormity of his offense, ending by fining him $10, the full extent of the law. The culprit had a lot of small change in his pocket, but being mostly pennies and nickels it only counted up to $7.50. For a few moments the judge was in a quandary. He didn't want to send the fellow to jail nor yet lose the $10. Presently a bright idea struck him a happy solution of the prob lem and he said: "Here, officer, take this fellow but to.the market place and let him perform with his bear until he makes up the balance, and when he gets it drive him out of town." Buffalo News. No Comparison. When Lawrence Barrett's daughter was married, Stuart Robson sent a check for $5,000 to the bridegroom. Miss Felicia Rob sou, who attended the wedding, conveyed the gift. "Felicia," said her father upon her return, "did you give him the check?" "Ifes, father," answered the dutiful daughter. "What did he say?" asked Robson. "He didn't say anything," replied Miss Felicia, "but he shed tears." "How long did he cry?" "Why, father, I didn't time him. I should say, however, that he wept fully a minute." "Fully a minute!" roared Robson. "Why, I cried an hour after I'd signed it!" Chica go Record. GEMS OF THOUGHT. He is wise who knows when to hold his peace.

In hi.'rf heart love struggled with honesty and was conquered. "Yes," he faltered. "Thank you." There was an instant of terrible anxiety, and then a flood of joy filled him.

"I," said the adapter, "never feel nervous on the first night of my pieces." 'Ah, my boy," Jerrold replied, "you are always certain of success. Your pieces have all been tried before." He was seriously disappointed with a certain book written by one of his friends. This friend heard that Jerrold had expressed his disappoint ment and questioned him, "I hear you said was the worst book I ever wrote." "No, I didn't," came the answer.

It's wheels were picked out with yellow, and this scheme of the color extended to the coachman and the two lackeys, who held on at the back by leathern straps. Within the eoach and facing1 the horses sat two judges of the erovrn court and Nisi Prias, both in scarlet, with full wig's and little round patches of blaek plaster, like ventilators, on top;' facing- their lordships sat Sir Felix Felix-Williams, the sheriff, in a lightish uniform of the yeomanry with a great shako nodding- on his knees and a chaplain bolt uprig-ht by his side. Behind trooped a rabble of loafers and small boys, who shouted, "Who bleeds bran?" till the lackeys' calves itched with indignation. I was standing- in the archway of the Fackhorse inn, among the maids and stable boys gathered to see the pageant pass on its way to hear the Assize sermon. At the moment when the trumpets rang out, a very old woman, in a blue camlet cloak, came hobbling out of a grocer's shop &ome twenty yards up the pavement, and tottered down ahead of the procession as fast as her decrepit legs would move. There was no occasion for hurrying to avoid the crowd, but she went by the Packhorse doorway as if swift horsemen were after her, clutching the camlet cloak across her bosom, glancing over her shoulder and working her lips inaud ibly. I could not help remarking the position of her right arm. She held it bent exactly as though she held an Infant to her old breast, and shielded it while she ran. I A few paces beyond the inn door she halted on the edge of the curb, flung another look up the street, and darted across the roadway. There stood a little shop a watchmaker's just opposite, and next to the shop a small ope with one dingy window over it. She vanished up the passage, at the entrance of which I was still staring idly, when, half a minute later, a skinny trembling hand ap peared at the window and drew down the blind. "Who is that old woman?" I asked, touching Caleb, the head hostler, on the shoulder. "What woman?" She in the blue cloak, d'ee mean? an old, ancient, wisht-lookin' body?" 1 "Yes." "A timmersome woman, like?" "That's it." "Cordely Pinsent, widow of old Key Pinsent, that was tailor to all the grandees in the county so far back as I can mind. I can just mind Key Pin sent a great, red, rory-cumtory chap, with a high stock and a wig like King George 'my royal patron' he called 'en. havin by some means got leave to hoist the king's arms over his door. Such mighty portly manners, too. Oh, very spacious, I assure 'ee! Simme I can see the old Trojan now, with his white weskit bulgin' out across his doorway like a shopfront hung wi' jewels. Gout killed 'en. I went to his buryin'; such a stretch of experi ence does a young- man get by the time he reaches my age. God bless your heart alive, I can mind when they were hung for forgery!" "Who were hung?" 'People," he answered, vaguely, "and young Willie Pinsent." ."This woman's son?" "Aye, her son her ewe-lamb of a child. 'Tis very seldom brought up "Yoxrsa chap, 1 abkest tote. ag-en her now, poor soul! She's s4 very old that folks forglts about it. Do 'ee see her curtain yonder, over the ope?" "I saw her pull it down." "Ah, you would if you was lookin' that way. I've a-seed her do t a score o times. Well, when the gout reached Key Pinsent's stomach, and he went off like the snuff of a candle at the age of forty-two, she was left unpro vided, with a son of thirteen to main tain, or go 'pou the parish. She was a Menhennick, tho', from t'other side o' the duchy a very proud family and didn't mean to dip the knee to no body, and all the less because she'd demeaned herseP to start with, by wedding a tailor. But Key Pinsent, by all allowance, was handsome as biases, and well informed np to a point that be read Shakespeare for the mere pleasure ot- "Well, she sold up the stock ia trade aa' hired a couple o n?oa3 tho self still, 99 same rooms yon see and then she ate less n a mouse an took to needle work, plain an' fancy, for a lot o the gentry's wives round the neig-hbor-hood befriended her, though they had to be sly an' hide that they meant it for a favor, or she'd ha snapped their heads off. An all the while she was teachin her boy and tellin' 'en what ever happened, to remember he was a g-entleman. an lovia en' with all the strength of a desolate woman, "This Willie Pinsent was a comely boy, too; handsome as old Key,' an' quick at his books. He'd a bold, masterful way, bein proud as ever his mother was, an well knowin there wasn't his match in Tregarrick for headwork. Such a beautiful hand he wrote! When he was barely turn ed sixteen they, gave 'en a place in Gregory's bank -Wilkins an Gregory it was in those aged times. He still lived home wi' his mother, rentin a room extra out of his earmn's and turnin' one of the bedrooms into a parlor. That's the very room you're lookin' afc. And when any father in Tregarrick had a bone to pick with his sons he'd advise 'em to take ex ample by' young Pinsent, 'so clever and good, too, there was no tellin what he mightn't come to in time. "Well-a-Well, to cut it short, the lad was too clever. It came out, after, that he'd took to bettin his em ployers m6ney ag-eil the rich men up at the Royal exchange. An' the up-, shot was that one evenin' while be was drinkin'-tea with his mother in his lovin, light-hearted way, in walks a brace o constables an says, 'Will iam Pinsent, ybttng chap, I arrest thee upon a charge o counterfeitin old Gregory's hand wrrtin Which is a hang in' matter!." "An' now, sir,' comes .the cur'ous part o' the tale; for, if you'll believe me, this poor woman wouldn't listen to it wouldn't hear a word o't. What! my son Willie,' she flames, hot as Lucifer. 'My son- Willie, a forger; my boy that I have nussed an' reared up, an' studied, marktn all' his pretty takin' ways, since he learned to crawl! Gentlemen,' she says, standin' up an' facin' 'era down, vvhat mother knows her son, if not I I give you my word it's all a mistake. "Ay, an' she would have it no other. While her son was havin' his trial in jail, she walked the streets with her head high, scornin the folk as passed." 'But her greatest freak was seen when the Assizes came. Sir, she wouldn even go to the trial. She disdained it. An' when that mornin the judges had driven by her window, same as they drove to-day, what d'ee think she did? "She began to lay the cloth up in the parlor yonder, an' there set out the rarest meal, ready for her boy. There was meats,, roasted chickens, an' a tongue, an' a great ham. There was cheese cakes that she made after a little secret of her own, an' a bowl of junket, an inch deep in cream, that bein' his pet dish, an' all kinds o' knick-knacks, wi grapes an' peaches an' apricots, an' decanters o' wine, white an' red. Ay, sir, there was even crackers for mother an' son to pull to gether, with scraps o' poetry inside. An flowers the table was bloomin' with flowers. For weeks she'd been a plannin it, an' all the forenoon she moved about that table, givin' it a touch here an' a touch there, an' tak in' a step back to see how beauti f ul it looked. An' then, as the day wore on, she pulled a chair over by the window, an' sat down an' waited. "In those days a capital trial was kept up till late into the night, if need were. By an by she called up her lit tle servin' gal that was then, (she's a gran'mother now), an' sent her down to the courthouse to learn how far the trial had got, an run back with the news. 'Down runs Selina Mary, an back with word: 'They're a-Summih up, says she. "Then Mrs. Pinsent went an' lit eight candles. Four she set 'poo, the table an' four 'pon the mantel shelf. You could see the blaze out in the street, an' the room lit np, wi' the flowers, an fruit, an' shinin' glasses. "So the poor woman sat a while longer an' then she calls: 'Selina Mary, run down agen, an' as he comes out, tell 'en to hurry. They must be finished by now.' "The maid was gone twenty min utes this time. The evenin was hot an' the window open; an now all the town that wasn't listenin' to the trial was gathered in front, gazin curously at the woman inside. She was titi vatin' the table for the fiftieth time, an' touchin' up the flowers that had drooped a bit i' the bowls. "But after twenty minutes Selina Mary came runnin' np the street, an fetched her breath at the front door, and went up stairs slowly and 'pon tip-toe. Her face at the parlor door was white as paper; an' while she stood there the voices of the crowd outside began to take all one tone, and beat into the room like the sound o' waves 'pon a beach. 'Oh, missis,' she begina. 'Have they finished? "The poor eheald was only able to nod. 'Then, where's Willie? Why isn't he here? 'Oh. missis, they're going to hang 'en! "Mrs Pinsent moved across the room and gave her a little push out into the street. Not a word did she say, but shut the door 'pon her, very gentlelike. Then she went back and pulled the blind down, slowly. The crowd outside watched her do t. Her manner was quite- ord'nary. They stood there for a minute or sj, an be hind the blind the eight candles" went out, one by one. 13y the time the judges passed homeward 'twas all sark, only the blind s ho win white by the street lamp opposite.

STATE JOTJRXAT,. TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 29. 1894. THEY LINGER WITH US. General Arts and His Company of Fifty-one Wealera HOT YET ABLE TO RAISE FDHDS To Carry Them Out f Town They Hold a Sfeetiaa; at the Conrthoiiae JL Letter from eander Bead. Captain II- H. Artz and his company of of commonweal followers, which now numbers fifty-one men, did not start for Leavenworth today. They will go some time this week; it may be tomorrow and may be not until the day after that This delay ia due to a letter received last night by Mr. Artz from "General" J. 8. Bandera. The letter reads: Captain Artz. Dear Sir: Remain in Topeka tomor row and I will wire you tomorrow eve we won't get away from here before Wednesday; eo I will let you know in time to join us. I am going to Kansas City tonight, will return in the morning. Get all ready; tents, blankets and camp outfit and I will let you know in time. They won't let you and your men camp on the reserve: therefore don t come un til I let you know. Yours truly, Oks. J. S. Sanders. There was a Coxey meeting at the court house last night for the purpose of raising money to get the lopeica contin gent to Leavenworth. General Artz said he wanted it explic itly understood that if he couldn t raise money enough to ride on the Santa Fe he would march hia men there under the etars and stripes. It was not a moneyed crowd that filled the court house, and while the remarks of Mr. Clemens which he described as a "begging sermon" were the kind that could not have failed to get a big col lection from a richer audience he secured onlv lC.t7. lie accounted for this small amount on the theory that there was only 16.67 in the house. Then other tactics were resorted to. Sanitary Sergeant Hudson agreed to raise 210 before 3 o'clock today. A number of others made similar offers for less amounts and in this way the entire amount was pledged. The jocular way Mr. Clemens raised the money way a model for all except church purposes. "Is there anybody else here who will raise a dollar before 3 o'clock twnorrowi" ne aanea. "I will give a dollar. I haven't got it now but I think I can raise it before daylight, and there are no policemen west of Kansas ave nue. If you don't have to give your own dollar so much the better. We don't care how you get it. Borrow it and for get to pay it back. Go steal some old iron from the railroad and sell it. In a Christian Endeavor convention once I Baw a lot of young people give their watches and rings to send a missionary not to Washington, but way off to Africa, and here we can't get enough to send Artz and his men to Leavenworth." Clemens' talk made the audience laugh prodig iously, ihere was some talk of putting up a labor candidate for congress in this district. General Artz wanted this, and Mr. Clemens emphasized what Artz said, and remarked that he would be glad to help elect a blacksmith to congress on Chicago trades-union platform. The following resolution was offered by H. W. Johnson and adopted. "Whereas, There seems to be an un derstanding on the part of railroads to keep back all Coxeyites from Washing ton; therefore be it "Resolved, That it is the sense of this mass meeting assembled that we appeal to ail unions, federated trades and all others in full sympathy with this mighty movement for human rights, to raise suf ficient money to purchase one or more steamboats, though small they may be, to enable all Coxeyites to reach Wash ington, and after their mission is accom plished return to their home sin time to vote in November for true representa tives of their interests." In response to a telegram from the headquarters of the National Coxey Home guards, asking that a brigadier general be appointed, A. A. Avery Biiggested G. C. Clemens for that office and he was elected by a chorus of "ayes"' that even he could hear. So llerr Clemens has finally accepted an office after all his protestations that he wouldn't Two representatives of the Loi Angeles, Cal., commonweal army who appear to have fallen by the wayside appeared at last night's meeting and expressed a wish to join Artz's company. They were received into full fellowship. FOB THE LEGISLATURE. Tt CommlttM of the City IMstrlot ta Issue a Call. The Republican central committee of the Thirty-sixth legislative district, which Is known as the city district, will hold a meeting tomorrow night at the law office of Frank 1L Foster in the Columbian building. It is understood that the committee will, at this meeting, issue a call for nominating primaries to nominate a can didate for the legislature to succeed W. B. Swan, who will not be a candidate for re-election. An effort is being made to induce the committee to call a delegate convention to nominate a candidate, but there is no doubt but that it is the wish of the voters of the district that the legislative candi date be chosen by the Australian system, on the same day the county primaries are held. The extra expense would be very light, as the same judges and clerks could serva and the only expense would be for printing the tickets and providing extra ballot boxes. The three candidates for this nomina tion are It B. Welch, Geo. AY. Veale and II I). McKeever. Dr. D. C. Jones who still retains his political residence in Topeka is chair man of the district central committee. The other members of the committee are Silas Rain, W. A. Bird, N. D. McGinley, F. IL Foster, Rufus Knott, A. K. Rodgers, George Gerbrick and W. II. Fisher. Charlie Good get it? steak. Where did you Billie Yes, the best in town. At VY hitney's. Charlie Where is that?

TO SATE THE FLO WEB BEDS Judga Enmlinr Fines a Flower Stealer Ten Dollars. Mrs. Anna Smith is a mulatto woman 19 years old who has allowed her esthetic love and admiration for the beautiful to get the better of her discretion. In oth er words she robbed her neighbor's gar dens of their best flowers and for that offense she was in the Dolice court to day. Not only Mrs. Smith but her husband A. 1. Smith, was charged with petty lar ceny, but as there was no evidence against him he was discharged. Mrs. George Beeton of 1021 Madison street, was the complaining witness, and she told how her garden had been rob bed of six of its biggest plants, and she- recognized those found at Mrs. Smith's as the ones. These flowers were on the judge's desk for evi dence. Officer Foote who took some measurements said the footprints made in the soft dirt at the garden correspond ed exactly with Mrs. tamith s dainty feet For the defense Mrs. Smith had two colored women testify that they saw her buy the flowers of a man. "What kind of a looking man was this?" Buddenlv asked Deputy City At torney Ilungate. "I I don't remember." "Was he white or colored?" "I think' he was white." "Was he fat or thin?" "I ain't sure but I think he was a lit tle, tall man; I mean a big, slim man I mean "Never mind about that, tell ua how he was dressed." "I don't remember." "Did he wear a light or a dark Buit?" "I can't be positive." "Did he wear any at all?' "Oh, yes." "If he had worn a plug hat would you have noticed itr "I would if it had shined so it hurt my eyes. What the eyes see the heart's bound to believe, ain't it?" "We don't care anything about the heart, we want to Know about this mys terious stranger. How long did you look at him?" "Not more'n about three minutes." "What aid you go away for?" "To put on my Bhoes." "VVere you barefooted all this time?" ."Yes." "Didn't your feet get cold?" The colored girl turned up her nose like the saucy thing she was, and the witness was excused. Judge Ensminger in -imposing a $10 fine on Mrs. Smith "handed down" a few remarks on petty larceny in general and this form of theft in particular. He said that the flower beds of Topeka must be protected and he in his official capacity proposed to afford all the protection pos sible. Mrs. Beeton got her flowers back. Tli (Junior Daltons. The only other cases were those of Charley Spendlove, Charley Stenman, (alias Speedy,) Clarence McDowell and Jimmie Bradford, who are 13, 16, 15 and 21 years old rebpectively. These boys were charged with petty larceny and they were fined $5 each, but the police propose to get the boys into the reform school if possible, and to this end their cases will be turned over to the state. The boys appear to have organized them selves into a young Dalton gang for the purpose of stealing any small articles within their reach. ANOTHER POUNDING MATCH Only 200 Put l"p Half Pluaki at Hamil ton Hall. Somehow, although the Topeka dead- games are perfectly wining to do a great deal of talking, they seem to be short somewhere every time it becomes necessary to put up a half plunk toward the advancement of the art As a re sult of this undue timidity there was a very light crowd present at the boxing soiree at Hamilton hall for the benefit of Johnny Van Heest and Jack Lynch last evening. Less than two hundred were there and the entertainment was cut short for reasons obvious. The main feature of the evening the twelve-round bout that Van Heest was billed for with the three local pugs,Brad- Bhaw, Finnie and Tucker had to be cut out by the reason of the failure of the first two named to present themselves for punishment It was nearly 9:30 before the enter tainment opened with a three-round set to between a couple of young colored boys. Jack Lynch was master of cere monies and under his coaching the bout was quite interesting. Two other col ored boys were then trotted out for the same kind of a performance and both drew blood which was heartily appre ciated by the audience. Billy Maxted of Lawrence and "Tue" Wilson of Oklahoma then met in three rounds and did some very clever work. Both are light weights. Two more col ored boys were then let into the ring and amusea tne crowu lor three rounds. Joe Fiederling of Kansas City and George Ridley, middle-weights, then stepped into the ring aud did some very good work for three rounds. Both are good boxers. Loud applause trreeted the champion light-weight of America, Johnny Van lleest, as he stepped into the arena. In the absence of anybody else "Tug" Wil son was again pressed into service and allowed himself to be batted all over the stage by the champion for the amuse ment of the audience. Tug is a good box-er himself, but he stood no show at all with Van Heest, who hit a little harder than was necessary at times. I he next to meet V an Heest was Frank Tucker of Topeka, who Btepped lightly Denina the ropes with a smile that some how got away from him after the first half of the first round. All this was play for Van Heest. and his smile didn't die as he made vicious lunges that just missed, and that would have ruined carts of the. wall if they had landed. Tucker was game, however, and stood the four rounds manfully. This closed the entertainment and everybody went home satisfied. I- or P. Attention.

A special train bearing about eighty eastern physicians passed through To- peKa on the santa .r e at lZ:4o today, bound for the national convention of the American Medical association which meets at San Francisco next week. Ihe train was of Fullman equipment and consisted of a baggage car, a diner and four sleepers. Two more sleepers will be added at Burrton. The train ia making thirty five miles an hour and is ex pected to get through Friday. The con vention win D6 in session a ween or more and on the way back the train will probably stop at different points of in terest along the line in Utah and Col orado, A side trip or two is also in pros pect for the latter state. The doctors be em to be enjoying the trip. THE POOR MISSOURI PACIFIC. Its Trains Grabbed by Wealers and the Company Sued for Objecting. The following is from the Railway Age anu is to me point: A band of several hundred lawless men etole an engine of the Denver Rio Grande road and a number of cars of the Missouri Pacific and went tearing over the latter road several hundred miles, stopping traffic, pulling up track, and causing heavy expense to the com pany in the efforts to stop and capture it, ana was finally arrested in Kansas by a large force of United States marshals and taken to Leavenworth for trial. Whereupon an alleged lawyer, hired to defend the "army" from the conse quences of its outlawry, gravely declared that the warrants under which the men were arrested were worthless, and that every one of the men in custody had good cause for action against the Mis souri Pacific railway for false imprison ment "Unless the railway company comes totime,"8aid thi3 jurist, "I will institute suit against the road for $20,000 damages for every man and break the back of the Missouri Pacific railway company." It was added that .this expounder of law would demand that the railroad company assist the army on its way to Washington, but as the Missouri Pacific has not responded to this call nor even apologized to the "industrials" for stop ping them it must be inferred that the lawyer is proceeding to break the com pany a back; and $520,000 apiece for 416 citizens means 8,320,000. On the other hand there is a little com fort for the Missouri Pacific in the state ment that the United States marshal paid the company $10.75 per head, or $4,472, lor carrying his 41b prisoners from the point of arrest to Topeka. Summing up, the railroad company has been caused loss and expense by the raid, and the government that is, the law-abiding, taxpaying people have had to pay many thousand dollars for the capture, trans portation and maintenance of these out laws, while the latter have had free transportation from Colorado to the Mis-4 souri, and are being boarded in idleness at public expense.

Moody of this place was shot at twice at Lawrence Sunday by a colored tramp that he had put off the train at some time previous. Moody was standing on the rear end of train No. 114 and as it was leaving Law rence the colored man stepped from be hind the coal chutes and fired twice. Neither shot took effect An attempt was made to capture the fellow but he escaped and has not yet been appre hended. Moody has had lots of trouble with young colored toughs that he has been constrained to "fire" various times and them seem to have a scheme on foot to get even. I.angreltl t'a Kansas Work. A.

Northwestern Kansas didn't get any of the rains of last night and the eastern part of the state missed it too. There were good local rains on the eastern divisions of all the Topeka roads, and the Rock Island reports good rains as far west as Dodge City and light rains from Meade to Liberal. The Union Pa cific caught it as far west as Abilene. About the Lejoff Although it was expected by the men themselves, there were no layoffs at the Santa Fe shops last night, not even at the paint shop. The men are much encour aged today in consequence. At this time there are less than twenty men em ployed in the paint shop and the rooms are full of unfinished coaches. The lay off scare at the shops is dying out Decoration Day. As tomorrow is decoration day the Santa Fe shops and repair yards will be shut down all day. The general offices will be closed for the day at noon, and so will the freight house at the depot CBAZY ON COXEYISM. R. C. Houston Sees Coxey Armies "March lag In the Sky." R. C Houston, Rock Island section foreman at Elmont, was this morning in the probate court adjudged insane and will be taken to the asylum as soon as there is room for him in that institution. Houston has been "queer" according to the testimony of his wife for several years and his neighbors say he has acted strange for several months, although it has, only been within the last ten days that he has become violently insane. His insanity developed fully while he was -reading an account of General Coxey's arrest in Washington. It was during the noon hour and he was sitting on the side of his hand car reading a newspaper when he suddenly threw up his hands and exclaimed: "See them coming, General Coxey and his army is marching in the sky." As he did not get any better his friends thought it might do him good to take him to church. They ac cordingly took him to a revival meet ing being conducted at Half Day school house by Rev. II. B. CreeL The meeting was very quiet, but Houston be came excited, and imagined the people la the school house were members of Coxey's army. He said he was called to lead an army in the interest of General Coxey and the government at Washing ton, must be overthrown with much bloodshed. He said it was his duty to kilL the preacher, Rev. Mr. Creel, and take command of the army himself. In the probate court room this morn ing he showed the' jury seven pieces of paper on which he had a lot of lines drawn, and which he said were the plans by which the government is to be ever- thrown. When the examination was concluded he went to the open window, and look ing up into the sky, began shouting "See them coming. There is General Coxey and his army." He has a wife and four children, but this morning he said his wife had died and gone to heaven. GANG OF BOY THJETES Dlscovered by the Police at No. 732 Kan- sas Avenue. The police discovered today that three or four little bootblacks, whose faces are familiar on the streets, have organized for the purpose of committing small thefts. Charley Spendlove was arrested today for petty larceny and he told the police that he was only one of a gang, and named a one-eyed newsboy called "Speedy," and several others as his con federates. Spendlove stole an electric bell and battery from Mrs. Mary J. Short who resides at Tenth and Quincy streets. The boys appear to have fitted up a "roost" in the unoccupied basement at 32 Kansas avenue. The police found a satchel full of plunder there this after noon. The other boys will be arrested.
