Attorney General Little aaid he would "writs a piece," aad would not say any thing fur publication excent what he puts in writing-. Fred Close, however, was prepared for Kline's letter and produced the" copy of au alHdavit mad by Kline and tiled with the state enat legislative investi gation committee la: t spring in which he swore to an entirely different statement from that published ia Kline's recent let ter. Kline did not make affidavit as to the truthfulness of the statements made in his letter, and for that reason the letter is not regarded as reliable as the affida vit made and tiled with tiie senate inves tigating commute. Unfortunately, Mr. Close can only pro luce a copy of the a;!idavit The original is yet come to light. Kline's affidavit which it ia claimed vindicates Governor Lewelling, Fred Close and Attorney General Little reads as follows: State or Missoiri, Co V.N TV of Jackin. J bS Peter W. Kline, being duly sworn, says that he is the same person'who has been so frequently mentioned in con nection with the aubjsct matter now be ing investigated by a comaiittee ap pointed by the Kansas state senate; that in truth and in fact he, the said Kline, did not during the last session of the legislature of the State of Kansas enter into any agreement with Governor L.

WHAT THE HOARD DID. Monthly Session of Board of Education Held I.HRt Evening. It was chiefly small details that occu pied the time of the board of education last night. The rain was falling in tor rents outside, and the wind whistled in and through the Smead system ventilat ing shafts, but the members in their board room had a good time discussing things of interest. It took the board nearly an hour to de cide whether or not to pay a bill of $12 for cuspidors for the new high school. They are nice ones, iron, lined with por celain, and would be an ornament to any bar-room. One of the janitors told Clerk Farnsworth that a dozn cuspidors were needed in the halls. Mr. Farnsworth thought the janitor ought to know, and ordered twelve of the best one-j be could find. The idea of having cuspidors in the school was a shock to Mr. Shaw, chairman of the finance committee, and he refused to O. K. the b.ll. This riled Mr. Farnsworth, who said he had ordered them because he was tjld they were needed, but he supposed they would be I taken back. I "1 never saw cuspidors in a school be j fore, or in a church,': said Mr. fahaw. "They are not necessarily for tobacco," suggested Mr. Priddy. "Most everybody has a bad cold now." I "Lots of times I would have given a good deal if I had a cuspidor iu my pul i pit," replied Rev. Mr. Thomas. "When I am u p stairs people generally make the ventilating shafts answer all practical purposes." naid Mr. Beck. It was agreed Anally to pay for the I cuspidors, when it was explained that tuey were not meant for tobacco. There were nine cases reported to the 1 board by Superintendent Davidson, I wherein pupils living outside the city limits claimed to be too poor to pay the j 2 a month tuition charged those who I are non-residents, and asked to have it remitted, borne of the cases were ap parently worthy, and the petitiouers were working to pay their own way through school, but such petitions have become so frequent lately tiiat the board decided the only way to do was to make an iron clad rule to reject all of them and live up to it. Each of the nine petitions wfs de nied. The case of O. P. UpdegraS's little boy was referred to the president of the board. Mr. UpdegrafT pays $1,200 taxes in Topeka, but now votes in Menoken precinct and 13 said to have moved his home outside the city. President Welch named the following committees for the ensuing year: Finance Jesse bhaw, J. II. bqu.res and Wui. MacFarren. Buildings and grounds T. A. Beck, W. II. Wilson and S. C. Miller. Teachers aud salaries J. V. Priddy, Dr. Westerlield and Jese Shaw. High school J. B. Thomas, Dr. West erlield aud T. A. Beck. Laws and regulations S. C. Miller, Wis. MacFarren and J. W. Priddy. Text books a:id coarse of instruction J. II. Squires, W. IL Wilson aad J. li Thomas. It was suggested that the city schools close tomorrow in order to give the pu pils an opportunity of seeing Governor McKinley. After considerable debate it was decided not to close the schools. The bids on apparatus for the new laboratory were noX opened, but will be at the next meeting. The board ordered paid a bill of $102.93 at Keliaui's for stationery, pencils", pens, etc. Insurance was renewed on a number of the city schools. The treasurer's report' showed $21, 270 in the general fund, and $5,603 in the high school fund. AT THE TH HATERS. Frohman's Sto:k Cmpny Closes Its Kil- K men t i t tier JK 111 use menu. "Lady Windermere's Fan"'was repeated at the Grand opera house last night. Gauged by the measure that should be used iu the estimation of a draraa of its pretention "Lady Windermere's Fan"' was a disappointment. The story it tells is a splendid one, so far as dramatic in terest is considered and the dialogue is for the most part bright, even if it does souad as though it might have been clipped from the philosophy columns of Kansas newspapers. The moral tone of the piece, however, is far from that a respectable child should be taken to absorb. It may be true to the life i: depicts but that life is not otie that should be held up before a public as a sample of the morals expected of society people. While Frohmau's stock companies that cater to New York audiences are uc knowledged .to be good it must also be acknowledged that he has some on the road that are very little more than medi ocre. There was only one real artist in the cast last night and that was Miss Oliver in the role of Lady Windermere's lost mother, the adventuress. There was a small audience out last night on account of the rain. Aside from the money consideration the piece seems to have been written to air some of Mr. Wilde's eccentricities as a critic and to gain for him a possible reputation as a philosopher. The piece will be given in Lawrence tonight. Tue If ennesy-Le-Royl company will tie at the Grand Friday night iu "By "its Outwitted," and on Saturday night in "Squabbles."

APPEAL FOR DECENCY, The Mayor Calls Attention of the School Board to a Great 1 i 1. AJf OPEN LETTER TO TUE CITT SCHOOL BOARD. Mayor's Offtce, Topeka, Oct 2, 1894. Hon. li. H. Welch. President City Board of Kdiieation. Dear Sjir: I beg to call the attention of the Board of Education specifically to an infamous condition of which they must already have had an intimation if not information. In close proximity to Jackson street school, a house of ill fame has been boldly and defiantly running for months. It is so notorious that almost anyone could point it out to you. It is just across the street with no intervening screen or kindly shadow to p.rotect the innocent pupils from its deadly vapors. The moral atmosphere which surrounds our schools is more important than pure air or pure water. If smallpox was in that building you would insist that the infected persons be instantly removed to some remote pest house or that the prem ises be walled in and strictly quaran tined. Public schools and houses of ill-fame running side by side are an innovation never known before in this city, and the patrons of the public schools demand that either the school or the immoral house be closed at once. Parents repose iu supposed security while they intrust their little oaes in your charge for edu cation, which includes moral protection as well as mental development. This matter should not be ignored, be cause it may be a dirty job. The poison which emauates from such pest houses may be unconsciously oozing into your own homes. Certainly it reaches some homes and indirectly affects every homo in the city. I have been told that the keepers of this disreputable house boldly defy molestation on the ground that one of the police olhciais has special privll ages there and if disturbed ther will ex pese him. I am also told that one of the principal officials of the police insists that such deus of vice are a necessity in our city aud should be fostered and en couraged. Topeka was never before re duced to such depths of degradation. Such libels on the morality aud good name of our citizens wore never ventured before even bv the lowest villain, much less by any oilicial whose duty it was to enforce all laws. I appeal to the board of education, I appeal to the churches, I appeal to all good people to aid in driving all dens of vice from our city. T. W. Harrison, Mayor. XON'E KILLED AT WICHITA. The Tornado Ild fireat Damage But o Lives "Were Lost. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 2. The tornado which tore through the northern part of the city last night fortunately confined itself to damaging property and left hu manity alone. Buildings of all kinds were demolished, twisted out of shape and removed from their foundations, yet their occupants suffered no harm outside of bruises and scratches and not a single fatality accompanied the destruction to prope rty. i rom here the twister lifted and dis appeared to the northwest. From what can be learned from surrounding towns the tornado seems to have confined at tention to Wichita. Whitewater, Furley, Eldorado and Greenwich, all north and east of here, telegraphed that they had heavy rains and some wind but no tornado. Floods at Perry, Ok. Perry, Ok., Oct. 2.

Lexow Committee Investigates the Clubbing' of Citizens. Lawyer Moss Says it is Encour aged Since Xot Punished. BLUE WITH PERJURY. Impossible to Convict Because of False Swearing. rolicemen Might Brain Citizens Without Fear of Justice. New York, Oct. 2. Clubbing by the police was the main subject of inquiry of the Lexow committee. Something like fifty policemen were present when the proceedings began. They were, said Lawyer Frank Moss, officers who had been convicted by the board of police or clubbing citizens. "Our object," the attorney continued, "is to show them while there have been a hundred convic tions in the past three years for club bing, yonly four dismissals from the force have occurred. Thus we allege that the board encourages clubbing by failing to properly punish it." The policemen, who are all big fellows, looked unhappy and apprehensive and as if they would give a month's salary to be well out of it all. When the commit tee had taken their seats Mr. Goff out lined the day's work as Mr. Moss had done, adding that of the four dismissals for clubbing only one was for clubbing a citizen, the other three being for club bing brother officers. Then Mr. Goff made this astounding statement: "Policemen are exempt from the operation of the law. They commit felonies which would put a civilian in prison and are only punished by a fine. "A citizen may be brained and the bru tal officer will only have to fear probably thirty days' pay; in other ways the po licemen commit crimes without fear that justice will be meted out to theui. We also call your attention to the perjury committed when these policemen are brought to trial. To quote the language of a police commissioner, 'The air at po lice headquarters trial room is blue with perjury.' Lawyer Moss took the stand and was sworn. He testified that he was counsel to the Parkhurst society and a member of the executive committee. He then told of the 2oth street property owners association, which was started in 1835, and listed for several years, to purify the block. He was the counsel to the association and pushed the light. The police were in league with the criminal classes. Alexander S. Williams was in com mand of the Nineteenth precinct in which Twenty-seventh street is contained. The captain sent a ward man around to the indignation meeting of the association to tell them to drop their work or he would club them out of the precinct. Mr. Moss said he replied: "Go tell your captain ho will explode a can of dynamite if he tacklea us." Then the witness told how Williams had been brought to jail in July, 1837, and although the evidence was strong and complete he was acquitted on a tie vote. DAVID SWING DYING.

THE SOCIAL ULCEKS. DR. TALMAOE DENOUNCES THE WICKED DANCES. they Are, II Says, the Avennee of Last svnd Isool&l Euln. and Drttractioa Fol low In Their Walce A Most Remark able Sermon. Brooklyn. Sept 30, 1S94. Rev. Dr. Talmag-e, who is still absent, on his round-the-world tour, has selected as the subject of to-day's sermon, through the press: "The Quick Feet," the text chosen being- Matthew 14 vi: 'When Herod's birthday was kept, the daugh ter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased HeroX" It is the anniversary of Herod's birthday. The palace is lighted. The highways leading- thereto are all abiaze with the pomp of invited g-uests. Lords, captains, merchant princes, the mig-hty men of the land are coming to ming-le in the festivi ties. The table is spread with ail the luxuries that royaL purveyors can g-ather. The g-uests, white robed and anointed and perfumed, come in and sit at the table. Music' The jests evoke roars of laug-hter. Kiddles are propounded. Repartee is indulg-ed. Toasts are drank. The brain is be-fog-ged. The wit rolls on into uproar and blasphemy. They are not satis fied yet. Turn on more lig-ht. Pour out more wine. Music! Sound all the trumpets. Clear the floor for a dance. Bring- in Salome, the beautiful and accomplished princess. The door opens, and in bounds the dancer. Ihe lords are enchanted. Stand back and make room for the brillcant gyra tions These men never saw such poetry of mction." Their souls whirl in the reel and bound with the bounding- feet. Herod forgets crown and tiirone and everything- but the fascinations of Salome. All the mag nificence of his realm is as nothing compared with the splendor that whirls on tiptoe before him. His body sways from tide to side, corresponding- with the motions of the enchantress. His tciul is thrilled with the pulsations of the feet and bewitched with the taking- postures and attitudes more and more amazing-. After a v-hile he sits in enchanted eilenee looking- at the flashing-, leap ing, bounding beauty, and as the dance closes and the tinkling cymbnis cease to clap and the thunders of ap plause that shook the palace bg-in to abate, the enchanted monarch swears to the princely performer: "Whatso ever thou shalt ask of me I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom." Now. there was in the prison at that time a minister of the gospel by the name of John the Baptist, and he had been making a great deal of trouble by preaching some very plain sermons He had denounced the sins of the king and brought down upon him the wrath of the females of the roval household. At the instigation of her mother. Salome takes advantage of the extravagant promise of the king and says, "Bring me the head of John the Baptist on a dinner plate." Hark to the sound of feet outside the door and the clatter of swords. The executioners are returning from their awful errand. Open the door. They enter, and they present the plat ter to Salome. What is on this platter? A new glass of wine to con tinue the uproarious merriment? No. Something redder and costlier the ghastly, bleeding head of John the Baptist, the death glare till in the eye, the locks dabbled with the gore, the features still distressed with the last agony. This woman, who had whirled so gracefully in the dance, bend's over the awful burden without a shudder. She gloats over the biood, and with as much indifference as a waiting maid might take a tray of empty glassware out of the room after an entertainment, Salome carries the dis severed head of John the Baptist, while all the banqueters shout with laughter and think it a good joke that in so easy and quick a way they have got rid of an earnest and outspoken minister of the Gos,pel. Well, there is no harm in a birthday festival. All the kings from Pharaoh's time had celebrated such occasions, and why not Herod? No harm in kindling the lights. No harm in bpreading the banquet. No harm in arousing music. But from the riot and wassail that closed the scene of that day every pure nature revolts. I am not at this time to discuss the old quet-tion is dancing right or wrong? but lam to discuss the question, does dancing take too much place and oc cupy too much time in modern society? and in my remarks I hope to carry with me the earnest conviction of all thoughtful persons, and I believe I wilL You will all admit, whatever you think of that6tyle of amusement and exercise, that from many circles it has crowded out all intelligent con versation. You will also admit that it has made the condition of those who do not dance, either because they do not know how, or because they have not the health to endure it, or because through conscientious scruples they decline the exercise, very uncomfort able. You will also admit, all of you, that it Las passed in many cases from an amusement to a dissipation, and you are easily able to understand the bewilderment of the educated China man who, standing in the brilliant circle where there was dancing going on four or five hours, and the guests seemed exhausted, turned to the pro prietor of the house and said, "Why don't you allow your servants to do tuia for you?" You are also willing to admit what ever be your idea in regard to the amusement I am speaking of, and whatever b your idea of the old fashioned square dance and of many of the processional romps in which i can see no evil, the round dance. is ad ministrative of evil and ought to be driven out of ail respectable circles. I am by natural temperament and re ligious theory opposed to the position taken by all those who are I-orriSed at playfulness on the part of the "young, and who think that all ques tions -are decided questions of de cency and morals by the position of the feet, while an the other hand, I can see nothing but ruin, temporal ani eternal, for those who go into the dis sipations of social life, dissipations which have already despoiled thou sands of young men and women of all that is noble in character and useful in life. Dancining is the graceful motion of the body adjusted by art to the sound and measures of musical instrument or of the human voice. Ail nations have danced. The ancients thought that Castor and Pollux taught the art to the Lacedemonians. But whoever started it, all climes have adopted it. In ancient times they had the festal dance, the military dance, the mediatorial dance, the bacchanalian dance, and queens and lords swaved to and fro in the gardens, and the rough backwoodsman with this exer cise awakened the echo of the forest There is something in the sound of lively music to evoke the movement of the hand and foot, whether cultured or uncultured. Passing down the street we unconsciously keep step to the sound of the brass band, while the Christian in church with his foot beats time while his soul rises upon some jrreat harmony. While this is o in civilized lands, the red men of the forest ha ve their seal p dances, their green corn dances, their war dances. In ancient times the exercise was so utterly and completely depraved that the church anathematized it The old Christian fathers expressed themselves most vehemently ngaicse it St Chrv sostom says: "The feet were not given for dancing" but to walk mod estly, not to leap impudently like camels." One of the docrmaa of the ancient church read: A dance is the devil's possession, and he that enter eth into a dance entereth Into his pos session. As many paces as a man makes in dancing, fi manv paces does he make to hell." Elsewhere the old dogmas declared this: 'The woman that sinrreth in the dance Is the prin cess of the devil, and those that an swer are her clerks, and the beholder are his friends, and the music is his bellows and the fiddlers are the min isters of the devil. For as when hogs are strayed, if the horsherrl call one all assemble together, so when the devil calleth one woman to sine in the dance, or to play on some musical instruments, presently all the daneers gn ther tog-ether This indiscriminate and universal denunciation of the ex ercise came from the fae that it was utterly and completely depraved But we are not to discuss the customs of the olden times, but customs now. We are not to take the evidence of the ancient fathers, but our own con science, enlightened bv the word of OocV to be the standard. Oh, brin? no harsh criticism upon the voung T would not drive out from theii soul the hilarities of life. I do not believe that the inhabitants of ancient Wa1e, when thev stepped to the sound of the rustic liarn went down to ruin. I believe Clod intended the young peo ple to laueh and romr and play. I do not believe Cod would have put ex uberance in the soul and exuberance in the body if he had not intended they should in some wise exercise it and demonstrate it. If a mother join hands with her children and cross the floor to the sound of music. I see no harm. If a croup of friends cross and re-cross the room to the sound of piano well played I see no harm. If a eomrany. all of whom are kn own to host and hostess as reputable, cross and recros the room to the sound of musical instru ment I see no harm. I tried for a Ion? while to see harm in it I could not see any harm in it I never shall see any harm in that Our men need to be kept youncr, yountr for many years longer than they are kept young. Never since my boyhood days have I had more sympathy with the innocent hilarities of life than I have now. What thoue-h we have felt heavy burdens! What though we have had to endure hard knocks! Is that any reason whv we should stand in the way of those who. unstunrr of life's misfortunes, are full of exhilaration and glee? God bless the young! They will have to wait rnanv a loneyear be fore they hear me say anvthinir that would depress their ardor or clip their w-insrs or make them bel ieve that life is hard and cold and repulsive. Tt is not I tell them, judging from my own experience, that they will be. treated a great deal better than they deserve. We have no right to grud-j-e the innocent hilarities to the young. As we go on in years let us remem ber that we had our gleeful times; let us be able to say, "We had our good times, let others have their good times." Let us willingly resig-n our pilace to those who are corning after us. I will cheerfully give thern every thing my house, my books, my noii tion in society, my heritage. After twenty, forty, fiftv years we have been drinking out of the cup of this life, do not let us begrudge the pass ing of it that ot ners may take a drink. But while all this is so. we can have no sympathy with sinful indulgences, and I am going to speak in retrard to some of them, though I should tread on the long train of some popular vanities. What are the dissipations of social life to-day, and what are the dissipa tions of the ball room? Ii some cities and in some places reaching all the year round, in other places only ia the summer time and at the water ing places. There are dissipations of social life that are cnttintr a very wide swath with the sickle of death, and hundreds and thousands are going down under these influences, and my subject in application is as wide as Christendom. The whirlpool of social dissipation isdrawintr down some of the brightest craft that ever sa.leJ t the sea thousands and tens of thou sands of the bodies and fonU annu ally consumed in the conlla jration of ribbons. Social dissipation is the abettor of pride, it is the instigator of jealousv, it is the sacrificial altar of health, it i the defiler of the soul, it is the avenue of lust and it is the enrss of every town on both sides of the sea. Social dissipation. It may be hard to dru'v the line and say that thi.-i is rigJit ii the one side aud that it is wrong- ii the other side. It ia not necessary that we do that, for God has put a throne in every man's s ul. and I ap peal to that throne to-day. When a man does wrong he knows he dees wrong, and when he does right he knows he does right, and to that throne which Almighty God lifted io the heart.of every man and woman 1 appeaL As to the physical ruin wrought by the dissipations of social life ther; can be no doubt What may we e pect of people who work all day and darcj all night? After a while they will be thrown on society nervous, ex hausted imbeciles. These people hu indulge in the suppers and the mi.i uigiit revels and then go home in ti.a cold unwrapped of limbs, will ufter a while be found to have been written down in God's eternal records us sui cides, as much suicides as if they Lad taken their life with a pistol, or a knife, or strychnine. How many people have stepped from the ball room into the gravejard! Consumptions and few if t neuralgias are close on their track. Amid many of the glittering scenes of social life, diseases stand right and left and bal ance and chain. The breath of the. Bepulchre floats up through the per fume and the froth of death's lips bubbles up ia tha champagne. I am told that in some of the cities there are parents who have actually given up housekeeping and gone to board ing that they may give their time inimitably to social dissipations. I have known family after family blasted in that way in one of the other cities where I preached. Father ami mother turning their back upon ail quiet culture and all amenities of homo leading forth their entire family in the wrong direction. Annihilated, worte than annihilated for there are some things worse than annihilat ion. I give you the history of more than one family when I say thev went on in the dissipations of social life unt.l the father dropped into a lower styla of dissipation, and after awhile lio; son was tossed out into society a non enity, and after awhile the daughter eloped with a French dancing-master, and after awhile the mother gelt rg on further and further in years, trie, to hide the wrinkles but faiis in in attempt, trying all the arts of lue belle, an 'old liirt, a poor miserni.i.i butterfly without any wings. Oh, how many of you have tloate I far away from God through social .lis ipations. and it is time you turn For I remember that there were tu o vessels ou the sea, and in a storm It was very, very dark, and the two ves sels were going straight for eich other, and the captains knew it not' But after awhile the man ou the look out saw the approac'uin g ship and shouted, "Hard a-larboardl" ami fn in the other vessel the cry went tip, "Hard a-larboard!" arid they turned just enough to glance by and passed in safety to their harbors. Some of you are in the tto-ia of temptation and you art; driving on aud coming toward fearful collisions unless you change your course. Hard a-larboard! Turn ye, turn ye. for "why will ye die, oh. house of Israel?" THE NAMES OF CITIES. The word Minneapolis Is a com pound of an Indian word meaning cur ling water and a Greek word Cleaning city.
