Assemble for Their State Con vention at Saratoga. Have a Dispute With Unitarians Over the Hall. ALL WAST WHITNEY. Tammany Espeeiallj Desires That He be Nominated. Judgre Guvnor Who Convicted McJvane is Second Choice. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept 24. Fine weather greeted the Democratic dele gates and boomers this morning'. The politicians have been arriving in small batches ever since Saturday, but the ma jority are rot yet on the ground. The principal work of the leaders who are here has been to confer w ith the leaders of the Unitarian national gathering- and attempting to come to an amicable ar rangement in regard to the use of the convention hn.ll. Mhe Unitarians claim the hall belongs to them by priority of engagement and Lii-utenaut Governor Sheehan and Mayor Gilroy, while acknowledging that fact, are trying to get them to withdraw to their own hall for Tuesday and Wednes day. The Unitarian people finally com promised. 'I hey will give up the hall tomorrow from 12 noon until 0 o'clock in the evening. On Wednesday at 11 o'clock the Demo crats will convene at the old Casino, where Gov. Flower was nominated, and finish wha; business remains. The re fusal of th Unitarians to accept the of fer of a church made them, will cause grat confusion. The newspaper and press associations will sutler much by this, as there are no wires at thi Casino. In some quarters today it is held that Judge Gayuor's boom for governor is not in good frt apo as it was up to last night, one leader saying: "The name of Judge Giyuor is not upon and will not be upon the propost-d slate and the Cook, Thatcner and LuckwooJ delegates will be allowed to go iuto the convention and present their candidates' names, so as to I reak up the vote on the first ballot. Then the slate candidates will be nomi nated by acclamation. The judge's fr;ends however, express confidence that he will be nominated. It is already pretty well settled that the convention will be a two days affair, juul the wcrk will not be rushed through as it was by the Republicans. Another rertaou for extending the session, al though it is not openly avowed, is the expected arrival of ex-Scre-tary William Whitney at New York on Wednesday, as he sailed from Liverpool in the Majestic lat Wednes d v. The desire to nave Whitney's name at the head of the ticket is uuiversal and ut.inistuliab'a. lie has never boon a member of Tam m.iuy hall, lut Tammany is us anxious for his nomination for governor as any other element m the party, as that would strengthen tin' changes for electing a Dem ocratic mayor of New York city. It U very iloiibiliil however, whether he can In; induced t i accept the nomination, as he hen manifested very littie political ambition since the death of his wife last year. if Mr. Whitney is not made the candi iii;e for governor it is almost certain that thir, honor will go to Julge William G. Gayuor of Brooklyn, who tried and sec ieiic.nl McKane and the other election i I'.enders last year. It is thought he w ill make a very formidable candidate, es pecially at he is an elFectiveand popular orator, and would thoroughly canvass the state in person. There are a number of other names suggested, and booms and boomlets are plentiful. Over 1,0(10 Tammany Braves. New York, Sent. 24. Over 1,000 Tam many braves assembled at the Grand Central depot this morning where sev eral traiut-of drawing room cars were in readiness to convey them to Saratoga. The brave, were resplendent in their war paint, b,lt looked peaceful and happy. The delegates and alternates numbered less than 20O, but with their friends, who accompanied them, five t.mes the number of tigers will repre sent Tanmany at the Democratic con vention.

Tbi Week's I"u(fill:-tie Tournament at ew Orleans. New Orleans, Sept 24. The Olympic club has organized another great tourna ment for this week, and the fcport is to begin tonight with the Plimmer-Murphy fight. Plimmcr is the faatherweight who defeated Spider Kelly when he first came here from England. lie defeated Joe McGrath, the Irish champion, and his most famous battle was with George Di-.on, whom he practically bested in four rounds. Johnny Murphy, private boxing instructor at Harvard, has met Dixon, Cal 3IcL'arthy aad others aa well known and demonstrated that he had ependii fighting capacity. Tomorrow Stanton Abbott and Jack Everhardt meet at 183 pounds. Abbott is English champion in his class, and Everhnrdt has stood up against excellent men here. He defeated Abbott two months ago, but the claim was set up that the American had repeatedly fouled the Englishman. Hut the great battle of the tournament is that of the niidileweights, Fitzsim mons and Creedon. Tiie record of Bob Fitzsimrnons ia well known. In this country he litis never met defeat, and such men as Hall, Maher, Dempsey and others aa well known, have gone down before him. Creedon has conquered Hall, Coatello and Alex Creggaine. An excellent authority gives this as the difference between the two men. The lanky Australian has several pro nounced advantages over his more stocky, sturdy countryman. For instance, his exact height ia f ull 5 feet 11)4 inches in fact near 5 feet lljj inches while Creedon measures 5 feet 3j inches, a difference of three inches in favor of Fitzsimmons. As to reach the Creedon men concede slightly the best of it to Fitzsimmons, but he will not have much advantage. In weight there will be no advantage on either side. If any it will be Creedon's favor. Creedon is a wonder on his feet and with his hands he ia every bit as strong as Fitzsimmons, if not stronger. II A II ON ESS VS. UNIONS. Baroness 15urdett- uutts Has Trouble With 1'ainters Over Her Stables. London, Sept. 21. The correspond ence between Baroness Burdett-Coutts and the secretary of the London painters trade society has bean published and is attracting great attention and comment. The secretary wrote that a complaint had been lodged against the baroness for allowing ht-r stablemen at Brooktield to paint the stables instead of employing union painters to do the work. The baroness, in a spirited reply, after pointing out that Urocklield it. the prop erty of her husband, denounces the "monstrous"' and intolerable oppression which the union claims to have the right to prjijtice and which would deprive every wurkingman of the right to work out his own advancement by his own energy and robs him of the birthright of personal liberty. The newspapers generally denounce the action cf the union and point out the services of the baroness to the working people and shows sue has tpent many years of her life and a large part of her great fortune in their interests.

Ieil Close's Story that He lias Xot Paid for Them Iterated. James A. Troutman the Bepublican candidate for lieutenant governor, haa written a letter to Charles F. Scott of the Iola Register, in reply to an attack made on him in a speech at Iola last week by Fred J. Close. Close said ia hia upeech that Mr. Trout man had recently built a line residence in Potwin Place and when finished failed to pay the men who built it, putting them off from day to day until it was to late for them to file a lein on the proper ty thus compelling them to lose their money. Mr. Troutman has already spoken in Iola and will not be there again during the campaign, but he has written a letter ia answer to the charge of Colonel Close in which he says: "The one reply necessary to be made to Mr. Close's charge is that I never built a house in Potwin. In 1SS0 I bought a house already built, in which I lived un til December, 181H, when I sold it, I afterwards rented the house in which I now live, and continued to pay rent until February. 1S94, when I bought that property. That is all the property I have ever owned in Potwin except a vacant lot. Several years ago my sister and myself built two houses in North Topeka, and as soon as they were built the contract price was paid to the carpenter, and never waa any question raised by him or any of his laborers. "The statement made by Mr. Close haa not a Bhadow of foundation. I called at the office to see him this morning, but he ia out of the city. I have written him stating that if he can give me any sub stantial fact upon which this charge is founded, I will withdraw from the Re publican ticket. I don't owe a solitary bill in the town that I know of, except some large amounts that are amply se curetlaud I take some pride in the fact that among business men in this city my credit ia exceptionally good."

Washinoton, Sept. 24. There are now pending hi the iulerior department quite ;i number of cases where some ollicers haviug beeu serving as Indian agents whose applications are on lile asking to be relieved from their present positions. There are any number of men who are ready and anxious to take their places. It is probable that upon the return of Secretary Smith quite a number of cases will be prepared aud sent to the presi dent, naming civilians as successors of several army ollicers. There are however, many applications u; li;e by army ollicers who ask to be appointed to Indian agents. It is probable that soma of these may be selected. The Indian authorities are satisfied that the Indian service, taken as a whole, is neither improved nor injured by the appointment of army officers as Indian atrents. In some instances the work has been performed better by army ollicers and in others not as well, it de pending upon the character of the man and not upon his military or civil life. It is believed that the impres sion has gained ground in ollicial circles that upon the whole the experiment of making army ollicers In dian agents has not proved a success, and both the interior and war depart ments would prefer to have other ar rangements and ttiat the Indians them selves would bo fully as well satisfied with civilians. "The Indians are no longer warlike," said an orTicerof the interior department, "and we can control them by civil as well as by military agents. To some ollicers the duty of Indian agent is extremely distasteful, while others are anxious to serve in that capacity. It is often found that the former class are etlicient while the latter are the kind of men we dou't want. Good business men, who are clear-headed and have discretion will make good Indian agents. Plenty of such men can be found outside of the army." An army officer discussing the subject of officers -as Indian agents, says there are many officers who are very much op posed to details as Indian agents because they do not have the opportunity to keep themselves in complete military training and ready for examinations for promo tions when ordered. There are others, he says who have become disappointed in the service and are eager to accept po sitions which separate them from the active army life. It is quite probable that most cf the vacancies occurring by the retirement of army officers as Indian agents will be filled by the appointment of civilians. Japanese Parliament Convoked.

The Agent Declines to Talk of His Mission. Queen's Claim is for Aid Given Provisional Government. San Francisco, Sept. 24. It is stated on what appears to be good authority that the errand of H. A. Widdeman of Hono lulu to this country ia for the purpose of commencing damage 6uita against the United States on behalf of the ex-queen of Hawaii. The amount of the damages asked for is said to be $200,000 and the friends of the ex-queen declare that thia govern ment has been instrumental in mulcting her to fully that amount. Her claim is that the provisional government could never have been established had it not been for the unwarranted action of a re cognized agent of the United States, the captain of the war ship Boston, which action was subsequently formally disavowed by the president. Wrhatever Mr. Widdeman's errand is, his departure from Honolulu was kept a profound se cret until almost the moment of sailing, when he suddenly appeared on the docic and secured passage. Within a few days he will go on to Washington, where he does not deny he has business of impor tance to transact. Mr. Widdeman declined to be Interview ed concerning his mission to Washing ton and when asked whether he was go ing to institute a damage suit on behalf of the ex-queen, his answer was that he had been accused of that before. His fellow passengers from the island declare that Mr. Widdeman's errand is as staled and that he has instructions to go about the matter very quietly and gain as little newspaper notoriety as may be. IIARGR E A YES 1) IS MISS E D. And AVe Shall Now Have Republican Sidewalks by -Mr. iroesch. Mayor Harrison today relieved Rich ard Hargreaves, sidewalk and sewer in spector, and appointed Samuel F. Groesch, commaudijr of Lincoln post, in his place. Hargreaves is the man who was the cause o the recent difiVrences between the mayor and the council. He was ap pointed a little over a month ago, and the mayor did not. present his name to the couuc.l for confirmation, holding that as the appointment was temporary, confirmation was not necessary. Hargreaves is said to bo a Populist and Councilman Griggs of the Filth ward prepared a resolution demanding his removal and the appointment of a Republican in his place. The resolution was signed by all the members of the council except Holman and he was out of the city. The resolution was read at the council meeting by the city clerk and placed upon the record. At the next meeting the mayor pre sented his veto of tne resolution aud stated that he would be governed only by the personal fitness of the man and refused to remove him. In explaining the removal of Har greaves today, the mayor said that when he appointed Hargreaves it was the un derstanding that he was only to berve a month and he then desired to go into business for himself. "The resolution," he said, "had noth ing whatever, to do with my actions in the matter. The man I have appointed to take his place is a brick mason ly trade and there can be no objection to him on the score of incompetency and he is also an old soldier. I shall present his name to the council for confirmation if the members desire it." Councilman Griggs who made the fight on Hargreaves waa very much sur prised when told of his removal. "I9 it possible," said he, "well 1 am absolutely at a loss to understand the mayor. His action is very strange. 1 do not know whether Groesch is competent or not.but I guess there is no doubt that he is a Republican." The office pays 'M a month and will only last until the sidewalks under the Ritchie contract are completed which will be in about a month. SIGNED WITH NEW YORK. The t'ntire lioston Ije-ajciie Team Goes to the National Association. Boston, Sept. 24. A special to a morn ing paper from Louisville, Ivy., says: A report is current here to the eUect that the entire Boston league team has signed with the New York National association for next year. The players had left for Cincinnati when the report was received, but Man ager Selee, who remained here, said so far as he waa concerned, he had verbally agreed to remain with the Bostons next year. Mr. Selee intimated that the Boston players were dissatisfied with the man agement, and the team would have woe the pennant had it not been for the dis satisfaction of the players, and that this same dissatisfaction would cause whole sale desertion. Tlie Story Denied. Cincinnati, Sept. 24. Manager Selee and all the other members of the Boston base ball club who have been asked about the story that their club had joined the New York National association for next season, unite in denying its truth. They cannot even account for its origin. Independent Kwertlmh Club The Independent Swedish club meets tonight at 314 Kansas avenue, and will be addressed by D. C. Tillotson and Geo. W. Yeale.

PAGE LEAVES. An Insurance Accent Who W Smart Kuouh to lieat 11 in Company ttnd c1. Thomas Taylor Page, a young man who was until ten or twelve days ago an agent in Topeka for the Metropolitan Life Iniurance company of New York city, under W. G. Bateman, the manager of the com pany here, seem to have had a surpris ing faculty for working the folks he waa working for. The company now needs him a greaJ deal more than it ever did before. Thomas, like the other agents, was al lowed his commission on applications in advance, and as it was several times tha amount of the first premium, he man aged to make of it a very profitable busi ness to himself. Like most people of his nature Thomas had a very winning way. It was not a hard matter for him to get his acquaint ances chance ones, sometimes to make an application for a policy, if he would pay the bill, with the further under standing, of course, that thuy need not thus let pay another premium and could the matter drop. Thomas worked his scheme as long as his friends held out. Here some men would have stopped discouraged, but not tio with Thomas. He immediately went into the manufacturing of names to sign to applications. It is not known at this time just how limitless his inventive powers were but it is known at Mr. Batemau's oilice that there are on hand there u great number of names that seem to havo no tlesn and blood behind thorn. A little more than a week ago Thomn concluded he needed a re-it. There was something suspicious about tha:, Mr. Bateman thought, and Lh institute d an investigation with the result that he w.-ts able to tell the above story to a Jul una I. reporter tins morning. "1 worked the case very qu 'fly," Mr. Bateman, "and last Sunday I in. young man located at Phil! ipr dnirg. sas, even to the room in w nich b sleeping.

CaptHinviish came to yio Tuesday morning and said that he was going to telegraph Phillipsburg to letthomaii tro, as tiiey had no authority to hold him. 1 had not heard from the company yet, but the telegram was sent and Page was liberated. 1 heard from my company that forenoon and went before County Attorney Watford to nwcir out a warrant for Page's Hrrest.

"It looks very much to me as though there is a petty jealousy existing between the county and city of!ic;a!a and they will not work together. Of course Page is gone now and we don't know where Iih is. The warrant is still in the hands of the sherilf, however, and with his a-os-tance 1 will catch the fellow at nil hazards and make an e itam pie of him."

The injured are reported as thirty nine in number, us follows: Mrs. Robert Steven.son, "Mrs. Carl Earrick, may die; Carl Rarrick, Der rick's boy. and three other children, in the same family; George Reaver's infant child and adopted boy, Horace Scheneck. will probably die; Mrs. Myron Scheneck and child; Mrs. Ceorg-e llolman and lour children; Mrs. Claus Eden, cannot live: Will iam i Ferguson, wife and child; Mrs. Peter Peterson, skull fractured: Mrs. Swan Peterson, both arms and both legs broken; 1'. T. Ferguson and family, all slightly injured: Tom Tweed, severely hurt; Alexander Tweed's wife and five children; Mrs. Rockwell, badly hurt: J. Eden, very badly hurt; Mrs. F. Meyers. Thomas Britton, a farmer near Wes ley, is reported missing and presumed to be killed. Professor A. J. Rilly of the Northern Iowa normal school, came in from Garner and reports thirteen dead in Ellington townshiu uortu of Garner; twelve near Manly, Ellington town ship, and sixteen north of Rritt. Cof fins for the dead are piled up at every station, and t-c.-nes of tin: wildest grief are being enacted. The storm, as witnessed from this place, was one of indescribable grandeur. A funnel shaped cloud of ink3' blackness swept along to the northeast, illuminated by almost continuous n ishes of light ning and roars of thunder that were deep and continuous. The opera hou-sd was packed with pec -pie to wit ness a popular play and a panic was almost occasioned by the wan ing ele ments. Robert Stevenson, liviug about four miles north of Whitteraore, was the rirst victim. His grove looked as though it had been mowed down with a scythe. Calvin barrack's house, on the Henry Durant place, was made into kindling wood in an instant and all of the fourteen occu pants but two children were injured. Mrs. Barrack was hurt in the. back by timber flying and her spine so injured that her body and lower limbs were paralvzed. A 6-year-old bov named Charles Lee was hit on the hea l and will die. The house of Fred Pompe was com pletely demolished, but his wife and five children came out. of the wreck unhurt. The force of the wind was such that barbed wir.i was stripped from the posts At George Roman's the roof of his liouse went, leaving the walls standing-, and the whole family was carried up from between the walls and blown awar about thirty rods, one of the children being killed. G. W. Ferg-us' family was carried some distance through the air, and all but one landed in the hedge. The buby went a little farther and was found seated on a piece of the roof. The wife of Swan Peterson had her sku'l cut open in two piaces and parts of her head were literally packed with sand, plaster, hair and grass. Par ticulars are coming in ail the time, which indicate that half the terrors of the toi'nado have not been told. The scene of desolation was visited all day by great crowds, all available conveyances being chartered. The destruction of property will not be less than glOO.000. Most of the farm ers were well-to-do with snug bank accounts, but numbers of the victims, who were rectors, lost everything, and some of them losing their fami lies. The permanently crippled will make a long and sorrowful list. The wires are down most of the time and news is hard to got or sand. Cyclone Safferer Destiiate. EiETtOY, Minn., Sept. 24. The cy clone sufferers are in a very destitute condition. The loss will exceed JflOO.000. Thirty families pre entirely destitute and many business men hare lost their all. Money is badly needed.

A dispatch from Berlin to the Times Bays a member of the Chinese leg-ation, in an interview, said China cannot dare to abandon Corea, even if the war should last thirty years. Besides, he added, the Coreans are still hostile to the Jap anese, as is proven by their refusal to concede the Japanese demand that they cut off their long- hair as a sign of submission. The Japanese, he further said, have done everything to wound the feel ings of the Chinese. Directly the Chinese minister had left Tokio at the outbreak of active hostilities, the Japanese destroved the Chinese lega tion and Buddhist temple, besides setting fire to and destroying Chinese clubhouses and residences and mur dering helpless Chinese in the streets. Count Aoki, the Japanese minister to Germany, was also interviewed. He scouted "the idea of any cessation of hostilities. He llatly denied that the. Chinese had been murdered or their property destroyed in Tokio. On the other hand, he said, the Chinese had insulted the Japanese minister at Tien Tsin, and had massacred fifty harmless Japanese laborers who were working in the camphor fields in Corea. It was also untrue, he de clared, that the Japanese had de manded that the Coreans cut their hair. The king and the people of Corea have been friendly with the Japanese sincj the battle near Asan. In conclusion, the count said the Japanese leaders would perhaps have a hard task to invade China, but they were determined to persevere. A irhanghai dispatch &tates the Chinese government has refused the request of Prince Ching, president of Tiling Li Ya men, that he be given command in Corea. Prince Ching H a strong advocate of conceding Japan's demands It is supposed he only wanted to idvestigate personally the condition of the Chinese forces in tho field. SEW lOIUi DEMOCRATS. Gaynor, Thacher. Cook and Senator Hill Mentioned for Governor. SAiiATOOA. N. Y. Sept. 24. A situ ation more strange than any that has yet confronted the Democratic party, and the like of which has never be'en seen by any of the assembled party leaders, is presented here within twenty-four hours of the time set for the nomination of a candidate for the office of governor of the state of New York. No selection of a candidate has yet been made, and while one name has been prominently men tioned here, no one person can be said to have anything like a mortgage on the nomination. So far there are four candidates mentioned for governor: Judge Gay nor, of Brooklyn; John Boyd Thacher, of Albany; Frederick F. Cook of Rochester, and Senator David B. Hill. Daniel S. Lock wood, of Buffalo, was mentioned, but it is said by those who know that he is practically out of the race, and that Mr. Sheehan's support, which may dominate Erie, will be thrown towards Cook. Every effort will be made, however, to induce Cootc to accept the second place upon the ticket in case either Judge Oaynor or Senator Hill is the nominee. Had Many Aliases. Ci.intov, Mo., Sept. 24. William J. Burns of the United States secret service and Deputy United States Marshal Harry A. Adams of Kansas City arrested here a man who gives the name of J. B. McCullah, aged about 30 years, alias William M. Butler, alias W. L. Strong, alias E. Iv. Wright, at 2 o'clock 3-esterday after noon.

An insurrection has broken out at Changshan, in the Shan Tung province, sufficiently for midable to beat back the detachment of troops sent from Wei Ilaie to quell the disturbance. Fears are expressed in the north of China that the supply of rice will be insufficient, not only for the people at large, but even for the demands of the army and navy. Most Hereafter Beckon -With Japaa. London, Sept. 24. The Times pub lishes a leading article in which it says Japan has already effected enough to convince intelligent -men the world over that henceforth they must reckon with a new power in the far East. Ping Yang and Yalu have opened the eyes of all but the will fully indifferent or blind that a new state has taken her rank in the hier archy of nations, and that her voice can no longer be ignored ia their councils.

Three men are supposed to have perished in the elevator. Charles Anderson, a man named Brown and one named Murray were seen at an upper window of the elevator, and it is thought they were all burned. The losses as near as can be ascer- j tained at this time are as follows: North Pacific Elevator company, fc."j0U,000; Portland General Electric eompany, machinery, ."0,000; coel bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal company, 840,000; Oregon Railway and Navigation company on doc";, freight cars and steamer Wiilametre Chief, $2o0,00'J; merchandise in docks, S200, 000. The insurance carried will reach more' than S500,OO0. DECREASE IN EARNINGS. For the Eight Months Ending: August 31 tlie Losses Were Eaormoai, Chicago, Sept. 24.

Tkera ia till pending in the war department unsettled over 90,000 acres of land granted to rail roads aad wagon roads many yer ago. In the past ten years about 10,0uO,000 of acres have been passed to ptteDt to the companies claiming-them. Commissioner Lainoreaux believes that all grants where there can ba no question as to the right of the company to the land should be passed to patent at as early a dte as possible. The records show that during the fiscal year ending June 30, not uiucii more than half a milliou acres were patented in railroad grants, while in previous years the amounts have been larger, reaching 3,000,000 acres in 1691 aud 2,000,0'X in 1S'J2 and nearly 2.000.00J in 1893. With the mineral land difficulty settled and the proposition for the survey of railroad lands as fast as the companies desire, there is a possibility of larte in creases in the amounts passed to patent iu the next few years.

TO OUST ENSJIINGER. -An Attempt to 'Force li i ui Out of the Io lice J till csli i j. An effort is being made by City Attorney TLllotson to secure the dismis sal of Police Judg-i Easiuiiiger by the board of police commissioners. Tiie petition was til id on Saturday and Saturday evening tiie hearing was com menced before Police Commissioners Whiting and Yount. Com uiissiouer Krauts was absent and the hearing was adjourned to this after noon. A decision w:!, prolably not be reached this afternoon. City Attorney Tillotson appears for the city aud Judge Fnsrniuger is his own attoruey. Tne aciion of the city attorney ia the result of the M. K. Lowe scavenger case. Lowe is the man wiio persists in doing scavenger work without an appointment under the new ordinance. Any case against Lowe for violation of tiie ordi nance must corne before the police judge. Lowe has em ioved Police Judge Kasuiinger as his attorney in an injunc tion case brought by the city against him, aud also in a habeas corpus case in the state supreme coart, and the city at torney holds that by consenting to act as Lowe's attorney, be has forfeited his of fice as police j udge. Foilowiug is the petition filed before the police commissioners: To the police coinmissiouer.i of the city of Xoleka "1 desire to call your attention to the fact that II 3u. Joseph Ensminger has abandoned the office of police judge of the city of Topeka by voluntarily accept ing employment as an attorney for one M. E. Lowe, for the purpose of defend ing said .M. E. Lowa for alleged viola tion of the ciiy ordinance cf the city of dopeka. "I respectfully represent to your hon orable body that by acceptance of baid emp'oymeat Judg Eusminger has vol untarily abandoned all right, authority and power to hear any questions arising under this ordinance. The city of To peka is certainly entitled to the services of police judge and claims that by ac cepting employment incompatible with the duties of police judge that Judge EnsDiiuger has thereby abandoned hi3 oiHce. Of the facts herein alleged 1 am prepared to furnish proof. "D. C. TiLt.OTSox. City Attorney." City Attorney T.llotson said to a Journal, reporter: "Lowe has been a most persistent violator of the scavenger ordinance and what can we hope to ac complish when the policj judge is his attorney for the police court is the only placrt whore the ordinance can be en forced Police Jade Easmiuger has told Lowe that he considers the ordi nance invalid and that may account for his persistent violation. I think we are entitled to a new police judge." MEXICO 31 AY BE IlIGGEIt. Salixa, Sept. 24. Last evening at about 8:oJ p. in. fire broke out in the C Eberhart lumber yard, in this city, and destroyed lumber iu the yards to the amount of about $0,000. It spread to the residence of L.

Saturday night two attempts were made to lire the Dily block here, but both were discovered before any damage was done. The fire last evening was evidently set. There is a great deat of excitement over this destruction of pro perty, hardly a Sunday night passes that attempts are not made to lire some build in t; when the townspeople are ail at church.

Sax Fkaxciscj, Sept. 24. General Antonio Ezeta aud his attorneys, Messrs. L-ubeu aud Dequesoda have left surrepti tiously for .uexico. They had bought their tickets secretly the night before. So careful were they in their eixorts to deceive the public that even after they had bought their railway transportation they gave it out to the press tnat they would not leave here for several days. The general, his servant and two New York attorneys quietly left the hotel in a carriage an hour beToro the regular time of departure of the train. They crossed to Oakland pier ahead of regular passenger aud sought the privacy of their sleepers. Those who some days ago obtained an inkling of the subjects of the telegrams flying bstweea here and Mexico say they gathered that the consolidation of all Centra! America with Mexico was being considered. Furthermore that Ezeta'a intention was to raise an army there and proceed at once to oust his enemies. KANSAS 1I031ES AND FARjIS. Census Yig ures Important to the Ieojle of This State. WASHrNGTOX.Sept.2 i Three bulletins have been issued from the census otlice showing land ownership aud debt in the states of Kansas, Arkansas aud Alabama. Tiie figures for Kansas are more in teresting than any others, because it has been pointed out as the state where the debts aud mortgages are more burdensome than all others. The bulletin shows that of the farms in Kansas 31.03 per cent are hired aud 08.07 per cent are owned by per sons cultivating them. Of the farms 05.56 per cent are encumbered by mortgages.

The Itnilerlyintr Strata IM.siiiictfi-atiiig the Top Irell In In liutlcr County. Wichita, Sept. 24. J. R Meade who is an old resident of Kansas and who has made a study of its geological formation gives the explanation of the earth sink ing in Butler and Harvey counties: The recent sinking of the ground in spots in the northwestern part of Butler county and contiguous territory, is easily explained. The northern hail of Butler county is capped over with a statumofsof t magnesia or calcareous limestone, full of cavities and crevices, on which reiis a shallow covering of clay, sand, gravel and surface loam. "As time progressed the disintegrat ing effect of water, aided, perhaps by the aid from decayed vegetation, en larged these crevices until in places where the rock was soft or peculiarly susceptible to these influences large chambers were hollowed out. "In course of time the roof in places would become too weak to sus tain the weight of the overlying earth and loose material, so that after a season of heavy rainfall like the present, when the earth became saturated with water and soft, the roof would drop down 10, 20, or 50 feet, leaving a gaping hole oa the surface."

Leavenworth, Sept. 24. In the dis trict court here Saturday Judge Myers rendered his decision in the Bleakley Taylor contest case, reversing the de cision of the special court of coatost which declared Mr. Taylor, Democrat, to have been elected county treasurer. Judge Myers' ground for reversing the decision of the contest court is that the Kansas Australian ballot law is al- mo3t an exact copy of the lowa Austral ian ballot law. In other words, the court holds that the cross-mark must be placed iu the square at the left of the name of the candidate to be voted for, and if placed in any other place may not be counted as a vote for anybody.

Let no one assume from this circumstance that the solid south is broken. Every southern state will probably be found in liae for 1 the Democratic candidate for j resident in 1SUG as usual. But the Tillmanites i have demolished the old Democratic i bulldozing organization of the state and i have engrafted upon the Chicago plat i form, the declaration of principles j formulated at Ocala. It is fitting that this sort of icoaoclasm should begin in South Carolina. ihere has always been a spirit of indepen leuce and resistance to the existing order of things lurking among th3 people within her borders. During the darkest days of the revolutionary struggle for American independence, wLen the cause through out the country seemed well nigh hope less, the. people of the Palmetto state under the leadership of General Francis Marion were waging a vig orous and aggressive warfare. Un der the administration of President Jackson it was South Carolina that at tempted to nullify the laws of the gen eral government. In secession days it was on the soil of this state that the first armed resistance to the Union was made. !So the supporters of Governor Till man have not only destroyed the old machine but they have captured all the parts and have set up a cew one built on their own model, and they are gciag to run it in their own way. The oil gang haven't enough left to even organize a bolt and the men who have t een ac customed for so many yeirs to carry everything in their own high-handed way are compelled ,to sit on the f ence and watch the procession go by. Their delegates were in the convention but not of it. The new element in control may not prove any better than the old but the change is an omoa favorable to an im proved order of tilings in the fauire. South Carolina may be safely counted on as being all right on the siiver ques tion, although she has been all wrong on a good many others. I2HICE AXD FREE COINAGE. The declaration of Senatur Calvin S. Rrice that the free silver plank adopted by the state convention of his party in Ohio is not binding on him is not so in consistent as it may at first appear to be, w hen it is considered that he is in reality a citizen of the state of New York. His viewa on the silver qu-'S'.iou me very popular with a largo class of New Yorkers, particularly those along Wall street in the metropolis. Senator lirice says when we say "free silver' wo may mean a variety of things. That may be his interpretation of the term but it is not the meauiug which ia conveyed to the people by the exj region. When the Democrats of Ohio speak of "free silver" they, and the masses of all partiea throughout the country, unler Btand it to mean the remouetizalion of silver, and that when anyone pos sesses silver bullion in any amount, which is the product cf American mines, he can take it to the government mint and receive for each 412 grains thereof a coined silver dollar containing 374' graios of pure silver, the difference which equals the alloy, going to the government. This is so plain a proposition that even Sena tor Brice need not err therein. The senator need not be unduly alarm ed about any "apprehension on the part of the people" if "two-thirds of th bouse and senate were elected on silver plat forms," provided the silver piatforms are those which have been adopted by every political party this year, covering a con siderable number of states. He and the other people who agree with him are destined to ljarn the meaning of "free silver" at no distant day and the lesson will be p"a'iD. His repudiation of his own party platform will not serve to stem the tide that has set in all over the coun try. He is likely to be tryiug to ex- cnange sugar trut stocss tor stocks in silver mines before the expiration of his present term of o:Bce.

But the People of Arizona Tlx in If It Will Xgt Take the Bloodthirsty Old Savage Lods to Find tb.e Warpath il He It Once Taru.id Loose. Geronimo and his Chiricahuas are tc be free again, and Arizona is displeased thereat. The frontiersmen say the old Indian is as bloodthirsty as ever, and that if he and his once get loose in the White mountains many a life will be lost before they are corralled again. But General Howard says that an Indian 68 years old, as Geronimo is, is of no ac count for ay purpose of activity, and that this particular Indian is much more afraid of the frontier folks than they are of him. Old Geronimo's latest opin ion of the whites was thns expressed in a recent conversation with Lieutenant Guy Howard, son of the general: "At first I thought that you white men, who have put railroads and tele graph wires around the world, could get n8 onr farms in a few days, but now 1 know it will take time. But I believe that we will get them; that you will taks ns from this place, where wo are dying, and will put u.s where wo can wo-k and earn a living for ourselves and our children.

This was said at Mount Vernon bar racks, Alabama, where tho Chiricahna captives hava been for tho last sis years living in indolence and with abundance of good things, but never ceasing to pine for their native mountains. Monnt Vernon barracks are, according to lovers of the picturesque, the most beautiful army post in the country, situated about six miles north of Mobile and in a para dise of oak, magnolia and other subtrop ical trees and shrubs. The climate is in every way unlike that of Arizona, and the Indians suffered accordingly, so it was once decided to remove them to the Fort Bill reservation, in Indian Terri tory, but that was promptly vetoed when the border men pointed ont the obvious fact that they could easily es cape thence and make their way back to Arizona. It is hard to believe that the Apaches, bloodthirsty and untamable, are first cousins to tho progressive and rather pleasant Navajoes, but both are from tho same great offshoot of the Athabas can race. The Navajocs combined with a remnant of the old and semicivilized Mexican Indians and have maintained an art and civilization of their own, while tho Apaches took to the moun tains and grew more savage every year. Fifty years ago the department estiraat c d that in Mexico and the United States they could muster 30,000 warriors. This was an exaggeration, but still they were very powerful. When General Crook went at them 20 years ago, they did not have to exceed 1, 5o0 warriors, yc-t that fcmall number had pretty near ly depopulated Arizona. In 1872 tho hostiies of that territory were ia three great bands, the greatest under the famous Cochise. General Howard, with a single aid, penetrated to Lis mountain fastness and made a treaty which Cochise kept honorably till his death. Geroirirao broke away, and a long and rather romantic war followed. In 18875 General Crook captured the whole I and, numbering 600, and located them cu a reservation, but Geronimo and Neches broko away again, murdered 134 whites and escaped into Mexico.

A young man at Wichita is lying at the point of death from cigarette smoking. He has a iiasrer stain that is the envy of every cigarette smoker in town. Six wagons, forty head of horsns and eattlb and several families from Phillips county passed through Stockton the other day bound for Louisiana.

Dr. Tarpaddle is tho alias of a man who was in the Manhattan police court for beating his wife. Released on hie own recognizance he concluded to skee daddle. At a horse sale at Ogden recently the animals only brought from $7 to $30 piece. The force of the expression "A horse on you" becomes more apparent every day. Florence Bulletin: Out in western Kan sas several horses are enclosed in a pas ture, gnawing the fence posts for a reg ular diet, and oa the gate a sign reads "Take One." Satnn's Roost is the name of a place near Paradise, Riley couuty, so it would appear that that all day long fall "from morn till dewy eve" didn't cover much space after all.

STATE JOURNAL. MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1S94. STOHIES ABOUT TO XV S. Tha Story of Tommy Niman and His Mother, LYIIS QJ COTS SIDE BI SIDE At Chrlit Hoipittl-ACBlfonthePlUt or a Santa 1- e Train. Little Tommy Niman i3 not yet two years old but he hs suffered enough to make the look in bis big blue eyea and on his thin drawa lip bear the mark of twenty. Tommy was a happy healthy country boy less than two months ago playing around the doer yard of hi mother s house while hia father worked among the shriveling stalks of corn; his yellow hair combed a vry fc.t le warm breath of a Kansas summer, 1 ughiug and toddling after the little euU Idas aud scampering before the hissing geese to escape the dangers that the little city boy has never known. He was plump inl joyous then. Ills body was well and strong, but now little Tommy lius a cripple in Christ hospital. Tommy was pitying about the corn crib oue day. He had climed into the door way, which -was high for him, and thought it would be fun to jump out again. The jump was fatal to his future. He fell aud aLruck his hip upon a rock. The doctor came aud said the bone was fractured. So h treated it for that. Two or three weeks went by, wearily, painfully for Tomuy, and there was no improvement. His parents were poor so the county physician was called. It was now thirty three days since the accident. The little boy was ten years older since those thirty-three days oegan. He was taken to Christ houpual and an attempt was made to replace the hip joint but it was a failure. The cnte hail beeu ailowed to run too long, and the bone would not btay while bandages could be placed. But tiie operation was better tried and lost than never tried at all, aud Tommy was compelled to staffer anew. That was three long weeks of agony ago and Tommy is a very li tle better. The pain occasioned by the operation is a little less now and he does not suffer all the time. In the cot next Tommy's lies Tommy's mother, t he was ready almost to go to bed herself when she brought Tommy there. La--t Suuday there were strange faces in Tommy's ward and before even ing Tommy was a brother. There is crying in the room to help keep Tommy awake now. The now baby has been named Guy Erwiu Niuian, a composite name, the Guy in honor of the night nurse and the Erwin a part of Matron .McKibben's name. There is another interesting baby case at the hospitai. A little colored child of four moutiis was brought there by its mother recently to b 3 treated for a hair-lip. The operation took place Saturday, and the little patient llii upon its mother's hip, a wondering, troubled look in its coal black eyes. It Butlers no great pain exceptiug when it tries sometimes to wreath its e'itehel and plastered lip into a sm;lf, and thero is a pulling that quickly changes thi Hearing merriment to a tear that trickles slowly down the plump, black cheei and bids another iollow. A few wee ts will end all that. however. the boys sent them up the gallery stairs and told him to wait on the first larding for the elevator. Five miautes eJpaed and the ushers had forgotttn him w hen ho came down. "What's the matter with yer elevator, anyhow!" he askei. "I've bea ringing ten minutes." One of the ushers lent him back to try It again and followed hiui. He had been trying to ring one of the buttonlike ornaments ia the woodwork. MONTGOMERY'S RAIN MAKING. A CALF ON TIIE PILOT.

As the east bound Santa Fe passenger train was tearing along on its way to Kansas City yesterd ly afternoon it struck a herd of c.-tttla just after it had passed Eudora. All of then escaped uninjured except one little clf that was not yet old enough to have been forgotteu by its mother. It was not throwu from the track crushed and dead. That would have been more merciful. It was simply picked up by the p lot or ''cow catcher'' and carried along for more than half a mile before the tra n was stopped to re move it. Of course the stopping of the train in the couutry attracted the attantion of the passengers and many of them got off and walked forward to see what the trouble Bii When the calf was l;ftrd from the pilot it was discovered thut one of its legs was broken short oiT and the bone was pro truding from the skin.

A Story About Goodland and How the Rain Came Iown. Goodland is the birthplace almost of rainmaking and it is also the home of that gay od politician and all around good fellow, A. B. Montgomery. There is nothing slow about Moat., and this story they tell of Lira will prove it. Rainmaking is still an interesting sub ject at Goodland and Montgomery made the startling assertion one day this past summer tnat anybody could mate ram with a little study and when challenged, declared that he could do it within twelve hours. lie was naturally besieged with offers of five to one immediately, but he refused to win any money on so simple a thing and invited some of the most prominent skeptics in town to come down to his oSce that night and see him do it The boys thought of course they had a snap, aud were so persistent in their of fer that Montgomery finally concluded to take a few "plunks" and so put up twenty dollars against a purse of a hun dred. So the story goes, anyway. The male portion of Goodland was all impatience for the time to come, aud during the afternoon Montgomery was more than busy with divers mysterious bottles and boxes and jars and a gusolino stove and some wire taat he carried into hi-i office and arranged in executive bps sion. He was to uiaie it rain by 2 o'clock that night. At least a dozen of the "boys" were at the oilice by b o'clock, and there were a few "cold ones" there to drive away dull care. The weary wi.it began. The gas oline stove was lighted and something was boiling. The watchers got drowsy, but they did not dare to tro to sleep. They were there to see how the thing was going to be done. Finally Mont proposed a "quiet little game" to get rid of the time and it was acceptea. inow it tnere is one tning on earth that Mont, can do with astonishing success it is to hold good cards. The game went on and he was winning with alarming regularity. The crowd would be broke pretty soon and before 2 o'clock arrived Mont, had nearly ail the money in the crowd except the $12 j that the purseholder had and dared not bet, There was something else doing in town that night, though, while all this was going on that the boys didn't know about. The women folks had missed their hubbies and were looking for them. It wasn't long until one of them heard the aoiju Is of revelry by night that es caped by the half open window that Mont, had left that way to let the gas out that was going to make the rain, you know, and they proceeded to give the in mates a ducking. Accordingly they hitched a hose to Mont's pump that was near, and the nozzle was turced to the window. The game Inside proceeded merrily, and just as the clock struck 2, Mont was raking in the last jackpot. Just then there came a sound of rush ing water and through the window came a sudden torrent. The boys put up their umbrellas and rushed out into the night. "Rain, by thunder," shoutei the stake holder, and handed Mont, the -V2T. Montgomery carefully turned out the etove, threw the bottles and boxes into the alley and went home to snore peacefully. THE CORNER STONE LAID. About Three Thousand People Witness t lie Masonic Canmonjr. The ceremony uf laying the corner stone of the new Shawnee county court house attracted a crowd Saturday after noon that filled every desirable point of observation in th vicinity of Fifth and Van Bursa streets. The ceremony was witnessed by no lesi than 8,000 people. The ceremonies were impressive, and no accidents marred the event. The ?psuig address of Chief Justice Hortoa was a masterly one. lie said in conclusion: "This building, now ia the process of erection, will be to us something more than a mere structure of wood, brick, iron and marble. It will represent some thing more than a convenient place for the transaction of publio business and a safe deposit for the public records. When completed, it will be a place where the antagonisms of society will meet, where vice will be shown to be most active, and frailty the most conspicuous where from time to time. human beiugs, coming from all the diver sified pursuits of life, will throng in countless numbers; some to have justice awarded them, some to attempt to inflict its opposite, aud others, an unwilling group, to expiate offenses. But it will represent something more than a build inr suitable for the trial of civil and criminal causes it will represent a senti ment worthy of our serious attention. A court house when completed itands for the majesty of the law. It is a temple of justice. With it are associ atad loyalty to the government and obed ience to law." J. Lee Knight gave a historical sketch of Shawnee couuty, in which a descrip tion of her temples of justice was the principal feature. Tho old court house cost about $75,000. Of the new one Capt. Knight said: "The original con tract price of the building was $127,000. Tho change from limestone to granice, backed up with hard-burned brick in the besement story, has added about $9,000, and the cost of the three extra lots about $9,000 more, making in all a total of a trifle over 145,000. We have no reason to believe that any other changes involv ing extra costs will be found necessary, but that the entire structure, compleied and furnished ready for use, will fall ba low the $150,000 appropriated to pay for it," CD TTTvf lv V WAV A K v.

A story is being told on the street to day that is good even if it should happen to be stretched a little. It is well known in Kansas sporticg circles that bu. Marys has a crack foot racer in the person of a youn man named Lee and St. Marys p eople are al ways ready to back him to the t-xteDt of their last crust. A lot of real shrewd Topeka sports knew this, and they con cluded that there was a chance to gt rich and they would grab it. Accordingly the Icelander, Will Motder, Will Buck, Frank Eong aud, Ed Hossfe.d procured a footracer from Kansas Ciiy and sallied forth Saturday with lightness of heart and heaviness of pockeibook, to destroy at one fell swoop the pride and wealth of St. JIarys. It is said they fixed it with Lee to throw the race for a consideration to be paid out of the profits aud the betting run high. The maia bet was ?2oJ aside and there was t least $300 up in side bets. But Lee didn't throw the race. Along iu the evening of Saturday sev eral Topeka gentlemen drove into town from the west softly humming, "Ono of His Leers ia Lonjrer Than It Ought to Be." It is said the Topeka factioa short on the trip. II erne r. Topeka Coal Co. Keally is reoo The City So llalthy That the Health Doui-tl Hadn't let Once. "I am of the opinion," said Dr. L. II.

'Under the present law the secretary of the board has all the power, the other two members being simply advisory, and it is only when the secretary wishes to consult with them that the other mem bers are necessary. "There has been no epidemic of dip theria," continued Dr. Munu, "as there has been in many other cities, and some of the few cases we have had were probably really not diptheria at all.

There was a handsome gown of heavy rep silk for middle aged lady that struck me as being ve ry handsome. Tho ekirt was full in the back and fitted across the front.

There had been mutual good will and respect, with kindly olnces on both ::ides. The con nection of Poe with Driggs in the eelito rial conduct of Tho Eroadway Journal was tho occasion of p.a exchange of "lews and facts between lirig:,s and Lowell which left Poe'w reparation very much impaired in Lowell's judgment. Poo's admiration for "the author of Tioralinc, :n the other hand., did not survive tho lines in "Tho Fable For Critics," in which his own portrait was not inaptly drawn. After Brigg.s teased to be his coeditor Pee attacked Lowell as a plagiarist, and the latter expressed his resentment at length in a passage to be found iu his published "Letters."

Tho gambling iu:tinct is strong in most ie:;, but it i.-3 seldom that one hears cf a man with sufficient nerve to bet a sum of money on Lis own life. A wager of this kind has leaked out in which two prominent members of a Philadelphia club aro couccrnetl. These two men bavo been close friends for years. Ono is a doctor and the other a lawyer. A year ago tho lawyer, who had previously enjoyed tho best of health, began to complain of feeling run down. He consulted his friend, the eloc tor, who, after a minute, thorough ex amination, tolel him frankly that his lungs were affected, the action of his heart was impaired anel that he wouldn't live a year. Tho lawyer, who is a man of indomitable pluck and will power, was naturally stunned for a moment. After the ilrst shock had passed off his true nature asserteil itself. "I'll bet you $1,000 you are wrong and that I do live over a year, he exclaimed. The doctor was positive that his diagnosis was cor rect anel was forced to accept tho bet. Tho money was placed in a" safe ele-posit vault, anel tiie lawyer went abroael. In six months he returned. The year was up last week, and he won his wager. And, what is more, he says he is open for more bets cf a similar nature. Philadelphia Record. A romolojical Wonder. A queer case of natural cross fertili zation is reported from Anjou, France. A grapevine, wdiich grows in close proximity to a large apple tree of the russet variety, has developed a full bunch of small apples on tho stem which is usually set with grapes. There are 29 of these queer "grape apples" in all, and they aro so thickly set upen the stem that many of them, all, in fact, except thoso growing at the ends, are mashed out of shape, so that they are almost as angular as corn grains. Each of these freaks has its "blossom enel" like true apples, anel in the fine speci mens which have been examined 11 poorly develcped apple seeds were found. The pomologists of Enrope are greatly excited over the publication of the facts relating to this queer case as they ap peared in La Nature, and many who have never attendeel a meeting of the Imperial Pomological society will do so this year in order to bear the. curiosity discussed. Thoso who have ever paid any attention to fruit culture and ffiiow how entirely dissimilar the blossoms of grapevine and apple trees are will nat urally doubt the genuineness of this freak. St. Louis Republic. She Cured Ills Hicconclis. About a week ago an old man named AVetherow was attacked with a violent spell of hiccoughs, which kept up until the doctors despaired of saving his life. Vv'ctherow's mother-in-law had heard of an old fashioned way of curing hic coughs, and she determined to make use of it. Gun in hanel, she manageel to creep without being eletected under the bed in which Wetherow lay, and when slie and the old man were left alone for a moment "she pulled the trigarr. In her agitation she forgot to aim for the floor, in which the load might bury itself in safety, and instead let the dis charge tear a hole through tho mattress on which Wetherow lay. The powder burned the sick man's toes, and iu a K 1 5; l 1

The Conversion of Zaccheas and Its Re lation to tbe History Tbat Is Now He ine Blade In This Country The Weak Are of God. Ebooklyn, Sept. 23. 1891. K ev. Dr. Talmag-e, who is now preparing- to leave Australia for India, on his round-the-world tour, has selected as the subject for to-day's sermon througrh the press: "The Tax Collector's Con version," the text being taken from Luke six 9, "This day is salvation come to this house.' Zaccheus was a politician and a tax-g-atherer. He had an honest calling-, but the opportunity for "stealings" was so larg-e, the temptation was too much for him. The Bible says ha "was a sinner" that is, in the public sense. How man v fine men have been ruined by official position! It is an awful thing- for any man to seek ofrk-e j under g-overnment unless his princi- pies of integrity are deeply fixed. J Many a man, upright in an instniti- cant position, has made shipwreck in j a great one. As far as I can tell, in the city of Jerico this Zaccheus be I longed to what might be called the "King." They had things their own way, successfully avoiding exposure If by no other way, perhaps by hiring somebody to break in and steal the vouchers. Not withstanding his bad reputation, there were streaks of good about him, as there is about almost, every man. Gold is found in quartz, and some times in a very small percentage. Jesus was coming to town. The people turned out en masse to see him. Here he comes the Lord of Glory on foot, dust-covered atid road-weary, limping along the way, carrying the griefs and woes of the wc Id. He looks to be sixty years of age when he is only about thirty. Zaccheus was a short man, and could not see over the people's heads while standing on the ground; so he got up into a sycamore tree that swung its arm clear over the road. Jesus advanced amid the wild excitement of the surging crowd. The most honorable and popular men of the city are looking on, and trying to gain his attention. Jesus, instea'd of regarding them, looks up at the little man in the tree, and says, "Zaccheus, come down. I am going home with you." Everybody was disgusted to think that Christ would go home with so dishonorable a man. I see Christ entering the front door of the house of Zaccheus. The king of heaven and earth sits down; and as he looks around on the place and the family, he pronounces the bene diction of the text: "This day is sal vation come to this house." Zaicheus had mounted the syca more tree out of mere in qv isitiveness. He wanted to see how this stranger looked the color of his eyes, the letinth of his hair, the contour of his fen tares, the height of his stature. "Come down," said Christ. And so, many people, in this day, get up into the tree of curiosity or speculation to see Christ. Taey ask a thousand queer questions about his divinity, about God's sovereign ty. and the eternal decrees. They specu late, and criticize, and hang on to the outside limb of a great sveamore- But they must come down from that if they want to be saved. We can not be saved as philosophers, but as little children. You can not go to heaven by way of Athens, but by way of Bethlehem. Why be perplexed about the way Osin came into the world, when the great ques tion is how we shall get sin driven out of our hearts? How many spend their time in criticism and religious speculation! They take the Rose of Sharon, or the lily of the valley, pull out the anther, scatter the corolla, and say, ''Is that the beautiful flower of religion that you are talking about?" No flower is beautiful after you have torn it all to pieces. Tha path to heaven is bo plain that a fool need not make a mistake about it, and yet men stop and caviL Sup pose that, going toward the Pacific slope, I had resolved that I would top until I could kill all the grizzly bears and the pajnthers on either side of the way. I would never have got to the Pacific coast. When I went out to hunt the grizzly bear, the griz zly bear would have come ont to hunt me. Here is a plain road to heaven. Men say they will not take a step on until they can make game of all the theories that bark and growl at them from the thickets. They forget the fact that as they go out to hunt the theory, the theory comes out to hunt them, and so they perish. We must receive the kingdom of heaven in simplicity. William Pennington was one of the wisest men of this country a governor of his own state, and afterward speaker of the house of representatives. Yet, when God called him to be a Christian, he went in, and sat down among some children who were applying for church membership, and he said to his pas tor, "talk to me as you do to these children, for I know nothing about it." There is no need of bothering ourselves about mysteries when there re so many things that are plain. Dr. Ludlow, my professor in the theo logical seminary, taught me a lesson I have never forgotten. While putting a variety of questions to him that were perplexing he turned uoon me somewhat in stern ness, but more in love, and sa.d, "Mr. Talmag-e, you will have to let God know some things that you don't." We tear our hands on the spines of the cactus instead of feast ing onr eye on its tropical bloom. A great company of people now sit twinging themselves on the sycamore tree of their pride, and I cry to you, "Zaccheus, come down!" Come down out of your pride, out of yonr irqnisi tiyeiiess out of j.our speculation- You j can not ride Into the gate of heaven j with coach and four, postilion ahead j and lackey behind. 'Except y be i come as little children ye can not enter the kingdom of God. God has I chosen the week things of the world i to confound the mighty. Zaccheus, come down! come down!" j I notice that this tax-gatherer ac j companied his surrender to Christ I with the restoration of property that j did not belong to him. He says: "If j I have taken anything by false aceu sation, I restore four-fold. That i if I have taxed any man for S10. 00O when he had only five thousand dol lar's worth of property, and put in my own pocket the tax for the iast five thousand, I will restore to him i four-fold. If I took: from him 10 I i will give him $40. If I took from him I 10 I will give him S1C0. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been sent to Washington during the past few years as "conscience i money." I suppose that money was sent by men who wanted to be Chris tians, but found they could not until they made restitution. There is no need of our trying to come to Christ as long as we keep fraudulently a dollar or a farthing in our possession that belongs to another.. Sippoe you have not money enough to pay your debts, and for the sake of de frauding your creditors you put your property in your wife's name. Yo i might cry until the day of judgment for pardon, but you would not get it without first making restitution. In I times of prosperity it is right, against a rain3r day, to assign property to your wife; but if, in time of perplexity and for the sake of defrauding your credi tor you make such assignment, you become a culpirt before God, and you Tmay as well stop praying until you have made restitution. Or suppose one man loans another money on bond or mortgage, with the under standing that the mortgage can lie quiet for several years, but as soon as the mortgage is given, commences forclosnre the sheriff mounts the auction-block, and the property is struck down to at half price, and the mortgagee buys it in. The mortgagee started to get the property at half nricf, and is a thief and a robber. Until he makes restitution, there is no rnercv for him. Suppose you sell goods by a sample, and then afterward send to your customer an inferior quality of goods. You have committed a fraud and there is no mercy for you until you have made restitution. Sup pose you sell a man a handkerchief for sillt, telling him it is all silk and it is part cotton. No mercy for you until you have made restitution. Sup pose you sell a man a horse, saying he is sound, and he afterward turns out to be spavined and balky. No mercy for you until you have made restitution. The wav being clear, Christ walked into the house of Zaccheus. He be comes a different man: his wife a dif ferent woman; the children are dif ferent. Oh! it makes a great change in any house when Christ comes into it. How many beautiful homes are represented among you! There are pictures on the wall, there is music in the drawing room; and luxuries in the wardrobe; and a full supply in the pantry. Even if you were half asleep, there is one word with which I could wake you, and thrill you through and through, and that word is "home!" There are also houses of suffering represented, in which there are neither pictures nor ward robe, nor adornment only one room, and a plain cot or a bunk in a corner; yet it is the place where your loved ones dwell, and your whole nature tingles with satisfaction when you think of it and call it home. Though the world may scoff at us, and pursue us. and all the day we be tossed about, eventide we sail into the harbor at home. Though there be no rest for us in the busy world, and we go trudging about, bearing burdens that well-night crush us, there is a refuge, and it hath an easy chair in which we may sit, and a lounge where we may lie, and a serenity of peace in which we may repose, and that re fuge is home.

Up to forty years men work for themselves; after that, for their chil dren. Now, what do you propose to leave them. Nothing but dollars! Alas! what an inheritance! It is more likely to be a curse than a blessing. Your own common sense and observa tion tell you that money, without the divine blessing, is a curse. You must soon leave your children. Your shoulders are not so strong as they were, and you know that they wiil soon have to carry their own burdens. Your eyesight is not so clear at once; they will soon have to pick out their own way. Your arm is not so mighty as once; they will soon have to tight their own battles. Oh! let it not be told on judgment day that you let your family start without the only safeguard the religion of Christ. Give yourself no rest until your children are the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. Your son does just as you do. He tries to walk like you, and to talk like you. The daughter imitates the mother. Alas! if father and mother miss heaven the children wilL Oh! let Jesus come into your house. Do not bolt the hall door, or the parlor door, or the kitchen door, or the bedroom door against him. Above all, do not bolt your heart. Build your altar to-night. Take the family bible lying on the parlor-table. Call together tvs many of your family as may be awake. Bead a chapter, and then, if you can think of nothing else besides the Lord's Prayer, say that. That will do. Heaven will have begun in your house. You can put your head on your pillow feeling that, whether you wake up in this world or the next, all is welL In that great ponderous Book of f.he Judgment, where is recorded all tdie important events of the earth, you will read at last the statement that this was the day when salvation came into your house. Oh, Zaccheus, come down! Come down! Jesus is passiitf by. RED MEN. Proposed Orphanac to Be Erected ft Austell, Oa. Short Talk.

BACK AKD FORTH HE GOZS, first One Crowd Uets Him. Tlien tlxe Othtr-Scws of the IHstrict 'urt. John II. McWilliams, the jointist who gained considerable notoriety by making aflidavits to the effect taat he bribed Chief of Police Lindsey and Captain Gish for protection, was transferred from tha county jail into the hands of the police at tho city prison. this morning by order of Judge Ilazen. When the police arrested McWilliams he sought release by a habeas corpus throuirh his attorneys, R. ii. Welch and A. II. Vance. Tha temporary writ was granted, but the points of law involved in the case and the advisability of a perma nent writ of habeas corpus have been under advisement until this morning, when Judge Ilazen decided the case against McWilliams. Judge Hazen ruled that the custody of McWiiliatus by the police did not conflict with the Btate's case against him, inasmuch as he could be taken out of th9 city prison at any time for trial iu the district court. When McWilliams was out of the county jail on bond the police had a perfect right to arrest him on another count if they had a case against him. Sergeant Henry Steele heard of the ruling shortly after it was made, and so eager was he to get the prisoner that he went to the jail in haste and got him and took him to the police headquarters. For since the habeas corpus case was in stituted McWilliams' bondsmen have gone back on him, and he was again con tiued iu the county jail in default of boud. McWilliam3 is now "in the hands of the enemy" at the city prison; in the custody of those whose alleged "pantata" he betrayed. No doubt he will find his existence there far short of a bed of roses. The case against him there will come up for trial as soon as the witnesses who have been lost track of by the long delay can be brought together. Detective Jacobs I5a k. County Attorney Safford and Chairman Bradford of the crusade committee are greatly relieved by the timely arrival of Detective F. W. Jacobs from Oklahoma. Ilia return practically assures, they think, convictions in a majority of the liquor cases brought this summer. Jacobs has been having considerable trouble down in Enid and Guthrie, lie went there with the expectation of catch iuir a Rock Island train robber. Hi informer, G. W. Jackson, went back oa him and 8ome of the 'Enid gang" laid for him and used him roughly, beating him over the head with a revolver and knocking out two teeth. Jacobs showed the two teeth to a reporter, and also the place where they used to be. Jacobs was handicapped by having uo commis sion as an officer iu Oklahoma, his being good only in Kansas. He was arrested and put in jail for carrying concealed weapons, but fin ally raised money enough to pay his line. When he got out he carried a big Winchester ritie which couldn't be con sidered as a "concealed" weapon. Before returning he had the satisfac r if H ij, i tf flr DtemDer Sr Sr 27 28.

Today is a general motion day for both civil and criminal business. Judge ilazen announced that next Saturday lie would call the entire civil docket anil he wanted all tho lawyers to be there. The court overruled a motion for a j new trial in the case of Con Ryan, charged with burglary. A. II. Case ma ie tho motion on statutory grounds and Judge Ilazen decided that Ryan had been given a fair trial. The case may be ap pealed to the supreme caurt.

Later he discovered that Ryan j was not there and he had to be sent for. j Judge llazeu said he "took back" what I he aaid before, and went over the ground I again. lie then sentenced Kyan to eighteen months in tho penitentiary. J. G. Waters will make a motion for a new trial in Sid Pickeus' case. It is the general supposition that Pickens will get a much heavier sentence than Ryan, poisibly five or six years.

The mismanagement of the btate in sane asylum under the present super intendent, Dr. J. II. McCasey has buen made the subject of au investigation by Lincoln post, G. A. R. Lincoln post became interested through charges which reached it that an old soldier, James H. Cook who was taken to thu asylum about live years ago, was being ili treated. Mother Bickerdyke of Russell, the famous army nurse was guardian of Mr. Cook and she too,U demanding a thorough investigation of the treatment of her charge who last week died in the asylum. The particular charge which led to Lincoln post's investigation was that an easy chair on wheels, which had been purchased from Mr Cook's money in or der that the old man might have some comfort iu his old age, had been appro priated bji the asylum management, for the use of" W. S. Wait, treasurer of the state board of charities, who has been staying at the asylum since last March. The committee appoiuted by Lincoln post to make this investigation, wascom posrd of John Carter, George Burdge and Dr. Wru. L. Schenck. This committee visited tho asylum last Monday, accompanied by Post Com mander Sam Grosch. By questioning Dr. McCasey and his assistants, and a special attendant who had been employed especially to take care of Mr. Cook, the unfortunate old soldier, the committee learned that the easy chair had been taken away from him on three different occasions, to wheel Mr. Wait around the asylum. The attendant who had charge of Mr. Cook said the chair was returned twice, but the third tme he had to go around the building and hunt it up. Dr. McCasey told the committee that the chair was only used twice to haul a lame doctor, who is an old soldier, to the office to sign old soldier papers. Mr. Cook, the unfortunate old soldier, received a pension of $72 a month, and from this amount a special attendant was hired to take care of him. The charges made to Lincoln post were that Treasurer Wait saw Mr. Cook's chair and pounced upon it for his own use. The committee learned that he used the chair, and Editor J. L. Brady of the Lawrence World says that if the charges are not true, he would like to have Mr. Wait sue him for libel. Tha investigation of Lincoln post was none too soon. The committee visited the asylum last Monday, and Wednesday about noun Air. Cook died. At the direc tion of Mother Bickerdyke his body was turned over to Lincoln post, and it was Lur.ed in the soldiers' plot in Topeka Dress Goods. Another lot of those 39c Novelties are waiting for you.
