HEED GETS CHEERS. Mention of the Maine States man's Xame, Receives the Loudest Applause of the Occasion. It was a magniticent demonstration that was given to Gov. Win. McKinley of Ohio, in Topeka coday. Topeka never fails to welcome lay great citizen of the United States who visits her, and the ovation to Major McKinley was one of the biggest and warmest ones. Fully twelve thousand people were gathered around the speaker's stand in Statehouae square while the governor was speaking. The train bearing- Governor William McK.nley of Quia, drew into the Santa Fe depot from Kansas City thia morning two aul one-half minutes ahead of time. The train consisted of the engine, a baggage car and a special car, and made the run in less than two hours. The attendance at the depot to meet the distinguished guost was not great. Everybody had gone to the state houge square. At the Depot. There were probably three hundred people around tho platform which in cludes railroad men and haekmen. The crowd showed considerable enthusiasm when Governor McKinley appeared. It had no trouble in identifying him, for the Ohio presidential possibility looks just like his picture. A stocky little man with a tail hat, wall groomed form, clear eyes and general appearance of a well bred gentleman, is he. Some think his ap pearance is priestly, and there is a slight suggestion of "Father McKinley" in his smooth, benign countenance. There was no delay at the depot, for his short stay in Topeka would not per mit it. lie was hurried into an open carriage by Chairman Leland and Sec retary Bristow, of the State Central com mit, ee, and George T. Anthony took tho Beat beside him. Other less notable guests occupied eight other hacks, there for the occasion. Col. J. W. F. Hughes and his sun flower were there to head the procession of the mounted Mission Township Re publican Flambeau club, 80 strong, who escorted the guest to the capitol grounds. Col. Hughes was never more in his ele ment. His uniform today was white and it fit his military form like a glove. The comment was all ad iration. His horse was a milk-white steed and was a beau tiful creature. The colonel wore a sun flower about eight inches in diameter. The Irlve to I lie State House. The procession moved rapidly and the Governor responded to every outburst of applause with a tip and even a wave of his hat and an agreeable smile. At Lin coln school the 5.50 school-children were lined up along the sidewalk. They waved their ban Is and those who had Hags waved them. Governor .McKinley responded to this greeting by fumbling in three pockets and finally pulling out a large handkerchief that had never been used, and waving it towards the pupils ami teacher. It pleased them greatly. Along Fifth straetthe jam of carriages was such as to make a nervous person fearful of some catastrophe, but fortu nately there ti none. Kansas avenue presented almost a normal appearance in number of people, but a few of the more enterprising storeB had flags hung out. Arrival at tli State House. It was exactly :3J o'clock when Bat tery B, over in the southeast corner of the state house square caused every man, woman and child in the great crowd as sembled around the state capitol to jump, by firing the first gun of the salute in honor of the governor of Ohio. The regulation salute f seventeen guns was tired, the last gun being tired just before the distinguished visitor arrived. The uniformed members of the Topeka Republican flamteau club were lined up in two lines, forming an open drive way to and from the speaker's stand, through the crow 1. and the guards had a big con tract on their hands to keep the people back when the procession at the head of Governor McKinley 'a carriage appeared on Harrison street The procession moved quickly and the bicycle Irigade passed through the lines of guards, dismounting and pushing their wheels before tbetn, as they reached the speaker's stai d. Then came Battery rt'ilerym n carrying their swords and flags. Entering the Grounds. ..vC,L J- W" R llQKke, chief marshal of the day came ne it, mounted on "Whits Crow," the spotlaaa Arabian stallion, ac companied by the Mission township Republi flambeau club, the special guard of h or of Governor McKinley. They all rode quickly past the stand to make room for the open carriage drawn by four horses and bringing the speaker of the occasion. When the carriage stopped Chairman Leland stepped out and was quickly fol lowed by Governor McKinley, wearing an overcoat closely buttoned around him. As he reached the ground he lifted his silk hat to a crowd of old soldiers and made a bow as he passed up the steps to his seat on the platform. In the great crowd of fully 12,000 peo ple every eye was turned on Ohio's gov ernor as ho was escorted to the seat of honor, and he several times lifted his hat in response to the cheering. Governor McKinley, who was followed on to the stand by the Republican recep tion committee and the other speakers of the day, spoke to the newspaper men on the platform and smiled wh a pleased i y vr 1 v. t f !:.V7 GSVESSfCK WILLIAS: and satisfied smile as he looked over the immense throng that banked up on th stato house steps and swarmed around the stand for a distance of a hundred yards. Imoiistration of tlae Audience. James A. Troutman, the Itepublican candidate for lieutenant governor, who was chosen master of ceremonies for the occasion, came upon the stand with Ma jor E. N. Morrill, Webster Davis, mayor of Kansas City, Mo., J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City, Kan., P. P. Campbell, Judge S. R. Peters of Newton and a score of other prominent Republicans. No time was lot and James A. Trout man stepped to the front of the stand and announced that Governor McKinley would be introduced by Chairman JLe land. The distinguished speaker arose, took off his hat, removed his overcoat, but toned his black Prince Albert closely around him and stepped to the front of the stand and Chairman .Leland an nounced his name. There were cheers and the mass of people burst into a sea of waving handkerchiefs and hats. Governor McKinley must have had cold hands, for he kept them pushed down in his trousers pockets and only removed them once or twice during his thirty minutes speech. The greatest enthusiasm was mani fested when, in referring to the Maine election, the goveruor mentioned the name of Tom Reed. Kansas peoplo ad mire Reed and they let Ohio's goveruor know it, for they cheered with a ven geance, hats were waved, handkerchiefs swung in air and lungs made tired by the shouts for the man from Maine. Once during his speech Mnjur McKin ley stopped and turning to Chairman Leland asked, "How much time have IV The reply was "Five minutes." The crowd shouted "Go on, go on." Shaking; Hands. When the great speech of the occasion was ended Governor McKinley hastened into his great coat, and while the mana gers of his trip tried to hurry him to his carriage he shook hands with everybody within reach. Mr. S. L. Seabrook had gained a place on the platform and Gov ernor McKinley, who is an old acquaint ance greeted him warmly. As he left the platform he bid goodbye to Mayor Webster Davis of Kansas City and J. K. Cubbison. The roadway to the carriage, a distance of about fifty feet, wa.' guarded by flam beau men aiid the soldiers of Battery B. There were cries of, "Come this way," "Let us see you, Governor," and in his effort to be accommodating-, Major Mc Kinley got several feet away from Chair man Leland, shaking all tha, hands he could and it required a great effort for him to again get started iu the direction of his carriage. With his hat in one hand and the other lifted to the crowd, Goveruor McKinley was finally seated iu his carriage wtth Major Morrill, Cy Leland, Secretary Bristow and George T. Anthony and started for tha depot amid the cheering of the crowd. GOT. H'KISLET'S SPEECH. He Talks Straight Protection Ioctr!ne to the linixieiise Ihrocg. "Mi Fellow-Citizess: I wish I might be ablo to reach this vast assem blage of the people of Kansas. I thank you in the name of the Republican party for this splendid graetiu e which you have given to me t juay. W have for the past two years been underg-oing some experience. They have been the longest years since the war. We have been very much sobered in the school of adversity, and wa have learoid lessons in political economy and in statecraft which we might never have acquired. "The school we have been attending has been one of real education. The tu ition has been free, but the ultimate cost has been very great It has been a com pulsory education. Nobody in this coun try was excluded from its benefits, and everybody has suffered as the result of it. The truth is that the present Democratic administration and the pres ent congress have brought blight to everything but the Republican party. Everything has suffered but Republican principles, and they are dearer to the American people today than they have been since the war. Applause. And the people are drawing closer to them than they have ever done before. "Now, what is the matter with the country for I have but a moment or two to speak what is the matter with the country today? We have the same civ ilization, we have the same land, we have the same people, the same manu- HcZHTLEY, OP OHIO. facturing plants, the same great army of intelligent workingmen and the same money we had in 1892. The trouble with us is there has been a change of manage ment in the government of the United States. For nineteen months the Democratic president and tha Demo cratic congress have been running the government, during which time little else has been running. Every Industry Suffered. "Every industry of this country has suffered since the November election day of 1892, and you men of Kansas know it, aud we men of Ohio know it. Every department cf human industry has been checked. Labor has been little employed, and when employed, at greatly reduced wages. The prices for the products of the farm have gone steadily down; and although they promised you in 1S92 they would give you a dollar a bushel for your wheat if you would vote the Demo cratic ticket, they now say they meant two bushels for a dollar. Applause- "Charity, my fellow-citizens, the ap peals of charity were never so great as they are today. There has been no wasting in the wealth of wages, prop erty, aud investments in the last eighteen months. This country has lost more in its investments and property and wagea than the entire cost of the civil war, and the trouble is that nobody has any con fidence iu the present management of the national administration; nobody has been able to tell what they could do. "They have been nineteen months trying to revise the tariff, and during that time the people have revised their opinions, and are burning with, im patience to pass judgment on their work. "The people of this country never wanted to vote so badly in all their his tory as they want to vote this year. Crie3 of "You bet!" They are ready to vote now; the day of discussion has passed. You have reached your con clusions in the severe school of experi ence and you know you don't want what you have. Why, even the blindest par tisans have had their eyes opened, and Democrats everywhere are coming into the Republican fold. Coming; Into the i old. "They are coming into the Republican fold because they believe more in their country than they do in their party. Ap plause. They believe that tne prosper ity of the country is above any party and greater than any party, and they j ropose tnis year to stand by the policy that gives them prosperity aud gives to the work ingman wages. Why, they say they have reduced the tariff. So they have. They have put on the free list forty-one millions or dollars worth of imported product, and eighteen millions of that is wool. The wool of the farmers of the United States is put on the free list and exposed to ruiuous competi tion from the wool growing countries be ond the sea. Why, a pound of wool in 162 would buy seven pounds of sugar; a pound of wool now will not buy three pounds of sugar. But they say they have reduced duties, and so they have. But what does it mean to reduce duties? What is the effect of reducing duties? Why, the ef lec; ot reducing duties is to increase importations, and the effect of increasing importations is to diminish production at home. "You cannot import your goods from abroad aud still make them at home, and if you don't make them at home, you doa't employ labor at home, and if you don't employ labor at home, you don't pay wages at home; and if you don't pay wages at home, you have taken from the great farming portion of the country, one of the great elements of consumption of their products. What We Seed In Kansas. ""What you want here in Kansas is consumers. If you are farmers you want customers, you don't want competitors; and wouldn't you a great deal rather have your customers, your consumers, in the United States than to have them in some other nation of the world. Wouldn't you sooner have them near by and close tc you than far distant beyond the seas, 3,000 miles away? What gives you the consumer at home? The great work shops of the United States give you the consumer at home. That is where you sell the products of your farm, and tha best customers you have ever had in ail your history have been the workingmen of the United States employed in shops that have been fostered and protected by American protective tanlts. Cheers. 'There are two ways of keeping for eign products out of this country, and from competing with ours, and preserve this market for ourselves, and 1 contend this market is ours. It belongs to the people of this country, and so long as we have a ballot we are going to pre serve it to the people of this country. Applause. "I said there were two ways of pre serving the American market t the Amer ican people. One way is to make the tariffs high enough to check the impor tation of foreign competing products. That is the Republican way. The other way is to reduce the wag-e3 of labor so lo'v that noboby anywhere else can pro duce any cheaper than we can. This is the Democratic way. Applause. Keep Out Foreign ProducU. "Now, I don't know what you think about it, but 1 would a thousand times rather make it hard for the foreign pro duct to come into the United States than to make it harder for the American citi zen to live in the United States. Ap plause. And, my fellow-citizens, you cannot preserve this market and main tain the wages that are paid to American labor unless you have a protective tariff upon the products that come in here that are made by cheaper labor on the other side. And if you do not put the difference between the American wage and the foreign wage on the for eign product by way of a tarifl, then the workingmen of the United States have got to bear that difference themselves. That is the philosophy of this protective tarifl system. And if we don't take care of ourselves, who will take care of us? Whose country is this, anyhow? Ap plause. i "There is not a schedule, there is not a paragraph, there is not a rate of duty in the tariff law of lSiJl that brings any benefit to the American people, pro ducer or consumer, not one. The only benefit it brings is to our commercial rivals, and the only people who rejoice today over that bill are the men who owe no allegiance to the government of the United States and no loyalty to the ling of our country. Wilson Honored ly the Uritish. "Why, when Mr. Wilson, the author of this tariff law, was baaquetted the other nirht in the city of Loudon, the gentle man who introduced him said that his name was us well known in England aa ia was ia the United States, and they honor him as much in England as they do in the United States. Voices, 'More.' "Then vote that way if that's the way you feel about it! Applause. "Well, the spokesman at that banquet said that Mr. WiUo.i may not have fully realized all of his aspirations concerning his bill, yet he wanted to assure him that his bill had stimulated industries in Eng land, that it had opened the mills in Wales and Yorkshire and had started the wheels of industry in the great textile factories of that cquntry. So Iills Opened Up. "You haven't heard of any mills being opened up iu the United States by the law of 1894. You have not heard of any textile factories being started by that law this year in tlie United States. Why, that law, my fellow citizens, does not light a single new tire in this country, it does not employ a single new working man in this country; i does not stimulate a single American interest, not one. The ouly people it helped was the sugar trust aud the whisky trust and the people today are suffering from that very law and will continue to suffer. It cannot be otherwise, and we might just as well make up our minds that capital will not invest in enterprises unless there is a reasonable belief that there will be a profit in it. "Capital will not work without profit any more than labor will work without wages. You cannot get any man to in vest his money in a manufacturing en terprise unless he has a reasonable cer tainty that he is going to make some money out of that investment. And that is mr trouble to day. The men who have the money have no confidence in the present nation al administration; they don't know what is going to happen. Uncertainty hangs over them, and uncertainty breeds dis trust and distrust paralyzes the arm of labor. The Money Question. "It is not the money that is troubling us today, I say to the people of Kansas. Every dollar we have is good; gold, silver, greenbacks, treasury notes, silver certificates, gold certificates; every one of them is good. Our trouble i3 to put that money into circulation. We must find somebody who wants to buy what we have to sell; we must find somebody who wants what we have, and who has the wherewith to buy it. The banks never were so tilled with money as they are today. Money was never so much unem ployed as it is today. It is there awaiting investment, the only way you can fetch that money out is to put busi ness upon a sure and profitable basis. "When you do that, then the money will come flowing out. If we had twice as much money as we have today we could not get it any easier under the present conditions. We must have some thing that somebody else wants and that somebody else must be able to pay for it. That is our trouble today. It ia the ab ence of prosperous industry in the United States. No man is going to put his money into one end of a factory if he does not believe he will get some profit when he takes the product out of the other end. "But, my fellow-citizens, no party in this country can stand in the way of our prosperity long. Our resources are too splendid; the enterprise, energy and genius of our people are too great A party may retard, it may check, it may temporarily stop the prosperity of the country, as it has done and now is doinjc, but the party that stands in the way of the prosperity of the country will be got out of the way by the votes of the American people. Applause. A. I'arty of Destruction. "The party that destroys the prosperi ty of this country will itself be destroyed and that is the work in which we are en gaged here today; and every time the people get an opportunity they will help and are helping in the destruction of the Democratic party the party that stands in the way of our material prosperity. Loud cheering. "Every state in this union that has spoken since the year 1892 has reversed its opinion and has sooken in favor of the Republican party. We started in Massachusetts in 1893; that state elected a Democratic governor in 1892, and in 1893 the voice of 1892 was reversed and 35,000 majority was given to Governor Greenhalge, the Republican candidate for governor in that great state. Then we went to Iowa. Iowa had had a Dem ocratic governor and Democratic domi nancy, and it is remarkable how quick they got tired, Populist or Democrat, and that Democratic majority in Iowa was trausformed into a Republican majority for Governor Jackson of more than 3(5,000. The Buckeyes In Kansas. Then, my countrymen, we came to Ohio loud cheerj and the people of Kansas are just like the peo people of Ohio. Cheers. Many of them came from that great Buckeye state. I have met them at every turn since 1 came in thi:s generous commonwealth of Kan sas. Ohio in 1892 had given a plurality of 1020, and in 1893 she gave a Republi can plurality of 81,000, and it will bo larger this year than it was last. Cheer- "1 see my friends my time is drawing to a close, but what I want to say what I want to impress upon )rou is that every time the people of this country have had an opportunity since the elec tion in 1892 to vote in any of the northern, eastern or great north western states they have spoken without exception in favor of the Republican party, aud only recently ia the state of Maine they got a majority, the like of which we never had before, and sent back to Washington Thomas B. Reed, the great Republican leader of that state, (great and extended cheers), and what I want you to do here in Kansas is to help elect a Republican house of representa tives. I remember your old delegation when it was solidly Republican. I re member the men who served ten or a dozen years or more with me in that national house, and well I remember how they stood faithfully for the interests of their party and the interests of the peo ple of the entire country. Send a Solid Delegation. "Send a solid delegation back this year. Ohio is going to put six Republi cans in tho place of six Democrats at the election this fall. D; your part and the national house will be Republican, and the opportunity for mischief by the Democratic party will be stopped on the fourth day of March next They say they are going to cut deeper. They say they are going to reduce duties still lower. They say they are going .ft ill further to degrade American citizenship, and the only way to stop it is to take the reins of government out of their hands. "Let us commence to do it by electing a Republican house of representatives and then when your election is over I want to have the glad tidings sent rue that Major Morrill, my oldT"cplleague, your candidate for governor, has been elected by an old time Kansas Republi can majority." THE HIDE TO TOPEKA. A Great Crowd Greet Governor McKin ley at Lawrence. Mr. L. S. Crum of the Republican ex ecutive committee, came up from Kansas City on the McKinley special. Mr. Crum says he did not see much of Major McKinley on the trip for he was assigned to the duty of keeping the other politi cians in the baggage car away from the governor. The train made its first stop after leaving Kansas City at Argentine, where Major McKinley spoke for five minutes to a large crowd of railroad men who were assembled at the depot. At Lawrence the train was met at the depot by between 6.000 and 7,000 people who cheered to the echo. Gov. McKin ley spoke for ten minutes at Lawrence under the covered depot platform and the cheering was the most enthusiastic which has greeted Gov. McKinley on his trip. In his Lawrence speech, with apparent reference to Populism, Gov. McKinley said: "We might as well understand now that one or the other of th Repub lican and Democratic parties is going to conduct the policy of thia government, aud it is for you to determine which one of those parties will conduct the policy of the government in such a manner as to best subserve the interests of the peo ple of the United States." A GOOD I'lKCK OF WORK. The Taking of McKinley's Sneecli for 45, OOO State Journal Headers. In order to present Governor McKin ley's speech promptly and accurately for our readers, the State Journal made use of the services of four expert sten ographers and typewriters, namely: li. II.

While several thousand were near enough to the stand to hear Governor McKinley, very many more thousands will read it in the State Jodbsal.

The resident general has go tin to Tamutave. He has ben instruct d to take measures to protect the colonists isi the event of war. London, Oct. 3. All the afternoon pa pers gravely discuss the husty nuiiiniuii ing of a cabinet council and it ia gener ally accepted as beiog connected with some serious difficulty with France. The Globe says: "Today's news of this blockade of the inland of Jluilaxc.ir sets at rest all doubts ns to the inimediato business of tomorrow's cabinet couiicil-. The ministers have decided upon a resolute course of action and ti public will await with anxiety tho news of their decision. Wo want no panic, nor war fevers, but we need V.m assurance that our interests will b prop erly safe-guarded and our allies protect ed. 'The French will find that we shall have a word to say about the Madagascar question before it is settled, ami Lord Roeebery may rely upon the Unionists to support him, loyally and heartily, in the interests of the empire." The Globe further expresses tU belief that the hurried calling of the cabinet council is due to disputes with France, adding: "We believe that there m iu ground for public alarm, or nupieiou, but we cannot surrendnr any part of England s rights or Bhirk any part of her duties. Our Btraino d re lations with France are not a mutter of .t day'a growth nor connected entirely vi! h Madagascar. We have points of con tact with the French throughout tho world, and each is possible ot having fos tered irritation which easily become! striftf. It is certain that the tatne v. in which we have allowed onrselve-t to be outwitted iu the far ;ist durinu the last year and the manner in whit a w e have stood by while France partitione 1 our heritage in Siani, has done much to persuado the more Ignorant or hot headed Frenchman that Kngland is not so very terrible after all." The Liberal organ, the Westminster Gazette, handles the subject very tender ly, and is evidently ai.xious nut to exeile public opinion, and thereby embarrii.-s the government. On the othtr hand the Conservative mouthpieces discuss the milter more fearlessly and warn France against en croaching upon British right,. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "A crWn which necessitates the convening of a cabinet council, must be very sudden h the ministers were disposed on their hol idays. It is quite possible Imwovcr th nt propositions have been made to serin t he various differences. Rut whilo t recognize the incident admits of favora ble interpretation, it is idle to ignore the fact that it is quite possible thai tho cab inet has been summoned to discuss a new and unexpected cause of friction with France." The Pall Mall Gazette then refers to the article printed today in the 1'oliti juo Coloniale of Paris, which relleets i views of the minister of the colonic., Delcasse, and which gives exclusive of the questions of Egypt and Madagascar, a list of eleven outstanding dilhculties between France and England, connect 1 with frontier and similar disputes in various African colonies. The Politique Coloniale, however, says that many of these have practically been settled aud that none of them would justify a rupture unless ono country was bent upon picking a quarrel with tins other, which the paper ad ii is not tho case. The Pall Mall Gazette in Bpite of this says the article iu Politique Coloniale unfriendly "to the verge of di-eonr!'- -v." adding '-and if it reflects the spirit in which the French ministers intend to discuss the difliculties with England, wo may prepare for troublesome times. We do not wish to quarrel with France, but on the other hand we are indisposed to permit treHpassing upon our unques tioned rights. The bullying spirit which tells Frenchmen that thoy have only to be brag and bluff enough to force Eng land to surrender may easily lead to that belief. The Pall Mall Gazette then con tinues: "The Daily Chronicle siya that war between France and England nr.i-f. be regarded a inconceivable luadnnsn. France must bo told courteously but lirmly that we have not the slightest de sire to attack or to provoke her, but that if attacked we shall defend ourselv es to the last extremity." The above quotations from tha leading afternoon papers of this city give a fair idea of the drift of public; opinion and the gravity of the crisis which Lm caused the calling of a cabinet council for tomorrow. hie l-Anis vn; Tli Matin Smy Tltrre Can Jl No J'u-1 i Pretext for oiifticl.

STATU JOITR!TAL, WEDNESDAY EVMNTK'G, OCTOBER 3, 1891. T0R11 BYHYCLOHE X Destructive Tornado Tisits Little Hook, Arkansas. The Streets Are Made Impassable Ly tLe Buins, MANY PEOPLE KILLED. State Penitentiary and Insane Asylum Billy Damaged. Little Hock, Ark., Oct. 3. A terri ble tornado struck thia city at 7:30 o'clock last evening and almost de vastated the business portion of the city. Several people are known to have been killed and injured, while it Is feared scores more have met the same horrible fate. The main portion of the business center, bounded on the south by Third street, on the north by River Front, on the west by Center street and on the east by Com mercial street, is practically in ruins and the amount of damage ia incal culable. The total loss will probably approximate $500,000. The tornado was accompanied by a terriSc storm and the stocks of floods in those busi ness houses which were unroofed, though not otherwise wrecked, are destroyed by water. The storm struck the state peniten tiary which stands on a hill in the western part of the city, with fear ful force, destrojiag' the dining' room, tearing down the stable and shops, unroohng the main cell building, and demolishing1 the warden's ofiice. Sev eral convicts were seriously injured, one of whom died an hour afterward. Down town, the lightning' struck the Martin block, comer of Spring- and Second streets, totally wrecking' the third floor. A man by the name of Eaton was fatally injured there. The Tilles building, corner of Center and Markhim streetp, was unroofed and a part of the fourth floor of Gleason's hotel wai blown away. At Main and Kecond streets the tops of several ad jacent building's lie piled up in an in describable heap. The worst damage, however, was done to property on Markham and Commercial streets. .Nearly every building1 in that district is unroofed and many are totally wrecked. The large three-story buildidg at Mark ham and Cumberland occupied by the 15. H. McCarthy Co. is a total wreck, as is also the tvo-story building on the opposite comer occupied by Max Lilians as a saloon. The third story of the old Deminj house was blown oil and the be eral stores tinder it were flooded by water and debris. The streets were filled with tin roofs, electric wires and other wreckage and it will be several days before the exteut of the damage can be ac curately known. The large cotton warehouse situated at Second and Scott, owned by J. H. Bacum, was wrecked. It fell on the Western Union telegraph office next door and wrecked it, thus cutting" off all tele graphic communication with outside points. The city is in the densest darkness and the streets are a verit able portable stream of mud. Rescu ing' parties are busy searching1 for the wounded but a list cf the casualties is unobtainable. Among those known to have be4n seriously and probably fatally injured are C P. Monroe, member of Arkan sas legislature, and Baton Sam Smith, a prominent cotton buyer, is also bad ly wounded. Others are known to have been mora or less injured, but names are not obtainable. All kinds pf ru nors are afloat; one to the effect that the it-sane asylum, in which some 00 patients are con fined, has blown down and many pa tients injured, bit the asylum is sit uated a mile from the city and the rumor cannot be confirmed. A num ber of escaped lunatics have been captured near the Union depot and tbaa fact gives color to the rumor. HOWGATE IN NEBRASKA. XX 8pas Kitten. f Hi Tim a Beatrice and Truiiitd Business There. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 3. The Bee prints a lengthy story in the nature of a sequel to fie arrest of Captain Henry llowg-ato, the embezzler of government func.s, now under arrest in New York. The story details how Eowgate spent much of his time as a fugitive in Kebriska, at the home of a prominent Beatrice attorney, who also acted as hi agent in investing part of his stolen money. The at torney Involved denies the story. The funds are said to have been put in Florida lands. There is con siderable evidenja to corroborate the Btory that liowgate made the Beatrice cttorne hi trustee for the Florida lands. In 1SS0 Hon. N. K, Griggs, at one time United States consul at Chemitz, stated to a mutual friend that How,fate nad visited the attorney at Beatrice several times during the period he was a fugitive from justice. Mr. Griggs is a resident of Beatrice. He statod too, that upon the occasion o cue of the visits made by Howpateto Beatrice the attorney iu question was given a trust deed for 40,000 acres of choice lands in Florida. The feature cf the case attracting attention in Xf bi-aska is the extent of How gate's investments through the Beatrice lawyer, the circum stances under which the deal was made and whether or not any of the funds passing through that attorney's hands niay be recovered by federal authority.

Another train robbery on the Rock I&land sys tem was yesterday frustrated by the capture of two of the principal mem bers of the pang, Lee Friizell and Fred Jones. They wera apprehended by Sheriff Carson and Detective Flynn of Chicago, at noon, and lodged in the county jaiL. Four of their compan ions escaped, but their capture is an ticipated at any time.

In this letter Lieutenant Peary writes that while he did not fuilv realize his plans the last year, he has still another year before him, in which he is confident he will wiu.

Next July He Will Dispose of the Whole Pugilist Army. BosTOsr. Oct. 3. The following ulti matum was given out last night by William A. Brady, manager for Cham pion James J. Corbett: To Whom it May Concern. The Olympic club of New Orleans claims the right to declare Robert Fitzsimmons champion of the world if I do not meet him. They have no right to do this, but rather than give the queer lot of sports who are praying for my defeat the satis faction of seeing me declared ex-champion by default, I want to put myself on record as follows: I have fooled this crowd twice before, and I am going- to take pleasure in doing it again. I do not propose that a foreigner shall take my title from me by default, a title which I honestly won by fightingr men in my class. Since 1 started on my career as a boxer I have never refused to meet a heavy-weight, and I have always tried to follow a straight course. Tha eagerness of Mr. Fitzsimmons to fight me becomes apparent to all who study the facts. The Olympic club needs an attraction for Mardi Gras week, next February, and they figure if they arrange the contest between Mr. Fitzsimmons and myself it would draw a grfeat deal of money. I would rather fight in Xew Orleans than in any other place on earth, but I question the right of the Olympic club to take the prejudiced stand which they have assumed in favor of Fitzsimmons. The newspapers are aiding these people in placing me in a false position, and they did the same thing when Peter Jackson, champion of Australia, drew out his money and sneaked out of the country like a cur. I am anxious to retire from pugilism, but the gang of rwsr sports who are hoping I ma oe beaten fdiall never have the satis faction of saying that I showed tho "white feather." They say Fitz simmons' money talks and that I am not the right kind of a champion because I refuse to break legitimate contracts and fight every "Torn, Dick and Harry"' at the drop of the hat. Now let those men who are seeking notoriety at my expense get together all the fighters in the world which have $10,000 with wager that I can not defeat them, no weight or color barred. I will deposit $10,000 with David Blanchard of Boston as an evidence of good faith, aid I will de vote any one week after July 1 next to fighting one of them each night during that week. I mean this, and this will be the last time I will train fwr a pugilistic contest. Now, you would-be champions, Robert Fitzsim mons, Peter Jackson, Ed Smith cr Peter Maher. here is your chance. I will take Fitzsimmons Monday, and after him first come first served. I will fight for the club offering the largest purse. I bar no one; this goes for all. PRINCE KUXG, AN ABLE MAN He Is Accounted (Ins of the Most Adroit statesmen In China. Washington, Oct. 3. Prince Kung, who has been recalled to imperial favor in China and placed at the head of the privy council, is baid by diplomats who have known him personally to be one of the ablest and most adroit statesman in the Chinese empire. He has behind him a long record of distinguished service, be ginning in 1650 and running till April, 18S4, when he fell into disgrace. He was the founder of the privy council, has a broad knowledge of foreign affairs, having himself acted as minister of state for thirty years, and to his courage and energy in remaining at Peking in 1331 when the British occupied the place and the imperial family fled was due the very existence of the reicning dynasty- In April, 1834, the empress dis missed him from office in disgrace, in her decree asserting, that, probably on account of broken health, he had become careless and had neglected his duties. lie has since recovered, and, while he is now in the sixties, he is said to be a vigorous, alert man. During his retirement from office he has always opposed Li Hung Chang, the viceroy, and his restoration is taken here to mean the ascendancy of his party over Li Hung Chang and it is also believed he stands committed to a vigorous war policy and will en deavor to force the fighting with the Japanese instead of following the Fabian policy of Li Hung Chang, who must gdve place to Kung in the direction of affairs. So far as known here Prince Kung had but one son, a youth of evil habits, who died in a fit of dissi pation many years ago. Should he have a second son, it la not believed here that he would endeavor to place him on the throne and displace the reigning emperor, as the empress would scarcely put him in a position where he could destroy her own son, unless she felt confident of his loy alty. Every household should be prepared for emergencies, for how often, "like a thief in the night" croup or whooping cough may come npon a dear child without warning and ia a few hours place it sweet life In balance by a Blonder thread.

Laundry, 112 West ELECTION TANGLE. I he Coarta Will Prebablv Be Called Cpo to Cnravel lb Jackso?tvii.i,e, Fla., Ocb. 3. Th state and county election held in this city yesterday resulted in a tangle which it will probably take the court3 to straight -n out. The fig-ret was be tween two factions of the Democratic party and bids fair to be a close one. In the early morning, in cansequnce of fraud having- been tb.'-eat-ened by the faction itoiding the appointing power of inspectors, deputy sheriffs walked iito each polling place and signified their in tention of remaining. The inspectors all over the city thereupon c'.&sed the voting booths awaiting instructions from the leaders. A compromise was affected in several of the outlying wards in a short time and voting was resumed, but in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards, the three most pop ulous wards in the city, not a vote was ca-st, owing to a failure to agree upon any arrangement and in conse quence of this tangle, out of a qual ified vote only a. small proportion was polled. All day the state troops were held under arms at their quarters, but were not needed, as no blood shed was due to the political struggle. The main issues of the factional fight were a railroad commission and the alleged attempt of a railroad corpora tion to capture the next legislature, and nowhere has the bitterness grown to such intensity as in this county. Throughout the state, Liodon, for supreme court justice, has met with practically no opposition. The Pop ulists cast a very imall vote for their ticket. FRED CLOSE'S TAX. He Explains His Failure to List His J"er touul .Property. Colonel Fred Close, who was out of the city when this paper published the story about evading making a statement of hid personal property for taxation, today said that he did tell the Topeka township assessor that all his personal property id listed iu Doniphan county, because he has always lived there and has never claimed his residence anywhere else. He was surprised at the letter from the county clerk of Doniphan county saying his personal property statement for 1894 had not been tiled in that county. Colonel Close ays that last spring he wrote to Mr. Briggs, the township asses sor at his old home in Doniphan couDty, telling him to make up his personal property statement from last year's list, and it would be all right. II.; aid he would write to Assessor Brigr; today for an explanation of why his statement has not been tiled with th county clerk. He Bays he will not pay any personal property tax in Shawnee county.

ABOUT THE WEASEL. A Graceful Little Creature, rail of ness, Shnwdoeu and Cruelty. The weasel is one of the prettiest and most graceful creatures that can bo imagined. It lives ia all cool countries and makes its home in hollow trees, ia etone heaps or in any convenient hole where it can find shelter. It ia no larger than a good sized rat, but has longer legs. It has a long, lithe, elender body, long neck and dainty lit tle head, with email, smooth. sJeek hair of a brown color on its back and white below. It has long whiskers on its nose and a very short taiL Its weapons are its strong claws and sharp teeth, which it knows how to use so well that many larger animals live in constant terror of it. The weasel itself has very few ene mies. Even the powerful birds of prey, which are ever ou tho alert for rabbits and other small game, rarely swoop down on the weasel, for, although they can easily carry it away in their strong talons, it often proves very troub3ej;ua booty. A hunter once noticed a hawk, high in the air, which was flapping its wings violently and apparently in great trouble. Suddenly it darted and fell to the earth almost at the hunter's feet, where it lay gasping and dying, while a tiny weasel sprang from the heap. of feathers and scampered away to hide it self in the stone wall near by. On examining the bird the hunter found that its throat was torn to pioces by the weasel's sharp teeth. Tho little crea ture, although unable to escape from the powerful grip of the hawk, had twisted itself until it could reach the hawk's throat, when it easily inflicted a deadly wound. Tho defenseless hares and rabbits are bitterly persecuted by the weasel, which springs upon them, and with wonderful instinct knows exactly where to fasten its sharp teeth. The unfortunate hare may scamper away as fast as it can, but its enemy clings to its neck, and the poor little animal must soon fall, faint and dying, from loss of blood. Rats and mice, squirrels, moles, frogs and birds of all kinds are liuntfd by the weasel, and it may often be soon twist ing itself in and out of Ftone heaps or walls in the vicinity of I .ivards, where it watches for chickens, d ves and other domestic fowls. If taken very young, weasels may be tamed, and a whole army of cats will not free a hcase so quickly of rats and mice as will one little weasel. Pussy must sit patiently by the rat's hole and wait until the mischievous beast ven tures forth, but where a rat can go the weasel can follow. Weasels and ferrets are often kept on board of ships and are petted by the sailors, for a ship with a weasel as passenger is free from rats. There are many pretty stories told of tame weasels and of the affection they manifest toward those who care for them. A lady who received a present of a very small and very young weasel fed it with milk, which it drank from her hand. The little creature became so attached to its mistress that whenever she called it it would instantly appear from whatever corner in which it was curled up and would climb all over her like a squirrel. It never bit her and would play with her cat and dog, often riding around on their backs, but it never injured them. Its curiosity af forded its mistress much amusement. If she opened a box or trunk, Master Weasel would raie himself on his hind legs and make an effort to peep inside. This little creature is much hunted by man, and large numbers are caught in traps, it being a general impression that tbey do more harm than g'xxl, but although a weasel may now and then carry oS a chicken from the farmyard it does much more good by freeing barns and cornfields of mico and other small destructive animals. Troy Pres. Heart of a Seventeenth Century Hero. The Gazette da Lausanne announces that in the church at Aubonne the tomb which, according to the Latin inscrip tion on the memorial stone, contains the heart of the famous French naval com mander, Abraham du Quesne, was form ally opened in the presence of the au thorities, and a small silver box was found in a cavity hollowed out of the rock. The box was opened and found to contain a human heart incased in lead. A record of the discovery was drawn up by a notary, and the box was then re placed, pending its removal to Dieppe, the municipality of which town had expressed a desire to have the relic, Da Quesne having been born at the Norman seaport in 1610. The commander, who died in 1688, was the hero of the de fense of Bordeaux against the English and Spaniards in 1600. He also won a brilliant victory over the famous Dutch admiral, De Ruyter, in 167G. Although known to history as Admiral du Quesne, he never enjoyed the title officially, bis profession of the Protestant faith buy ing prevented his attaining flag rank. Eirch. Rod For IJritish tTnderg-rads. I am glad to have received from aa Oxford man a cordial indorsement of my suggestion for the use of the birch in the university on the persons of un dergraduates given to "ragging" and similar follies. I learn from this corre spondent that corporal punishment was one of the wise institutions founded at Oxford by Alfred the Great the Solo mon of our royal line and I am favor ably impressed by the suggestion which my correspondent goes on to make that the college bursars, having few or no useful functions to perform, should be armed with rods and transformed into college birchers. No doubt some senti mentalists will protest against the birch as a humiliation to the dignity of the university "man." When, however, a man is not a man, but a schoolboy, com mon sense suggests that he should be treated as a schoolboy. London Truth. A VETERAN'S VERDICT. The War is Over.

Passo ks. Oct. 3. Earl the little 4-four old son of J. D. 2-ieil, living twelve milea southwest of this city, almost miracu lously escaped what might have been a horrible death. He had accompanied hia father to the field to drill wheat, and after much per suasion induced his fathettj let him ride on the drill. He occupied a place on the box, while Xeil eat in the seat driving. Alter making a couple of rounds in safe ty, some trash accumulated in front of the drill, and stopping, Neil got down, removed the trash and stepped about ten feet to one side to throw the trash out of the way, when the horses started to run. Neil saw them start and immediately sprang for the lines, but so eudden was the start of the team that he could not catch them, and away they went at full speed with hia little son clinging to the seat. The father called to the little fel low to jump off, but he was so frightened that he clang all the closer to the box. The horses ran until they came to a wire fence, when one jumped the fence, the other refusing to juoip, and they took down the line ol fenee, one on either side, dragging the drill behind and tearing up posts, wire and all, which accumulated in a frightful mass under and in front of the drill. Hie boy hung manfully on until a ditch was reached, when ho was jolted loose from his hold and fell between the seat springs and the driii box, wedging fast. The horses continued to run until the debris had accumulated in front of the drill to such an extent that they could no longer draw it, whan they were compelled to stop. The father came up, fearful of flndinsr his boy mangled and bleeding, but his delight can be imagined in tiadm kirn sound and without even a scratch. SOLDIER'S HOME INVESTIGATION.

Sam Wood was a prominent figure in Kansas he was a member of the Kansas legislature. It was the custom then as now for the railroads to send a pass to each member of the legislature, good during the session. There was some ad verse criticism on the action of the mem bers who accepted these favors as there is now of the judiciary. Col. Wood held a Santa Fe annual so he did not need his legislative pass, but the other members of the house did not know that It was in the early days of the session when Col. Wood rose in his place and said: "Mr. Speaker, I wish to say that I am the recipient of a pass from the Santa Fe railroad. In order to set an example before this house, which should b immediately followed by the other members, I now send my pass to the speaker's stand." The pasa which he did not need was sent up but the annual slumbered peace fully in his pocket It is not recorded that the other members followed Col. Wood's example. Good uuri duns by the Peerless.

It is eatert lining even if It isn't instructive. Chicago sseins to be getting' a better adminiatrat'on of affairs than Topeka; Chicago citizen Lava been roused; To peka'a appear to be resting. Confidence ia an excellent thing, but there is always toi much of it in politics; the man who ia ccciident that all ia ri'ht in hi party hasn't real good sense. Tub Democrat declare that Populism is dead and the Populists are sure that Democracy is doal, but neither one makes such remarks of the Republicans. If the police force in this town are not going to abate the indecent nuisances, we suppose there is a way to abate them through the county officials. It ia time to begin moving ii this direction. Evii communications corrupt good manners; they alsj turn the cake into aough. Now if the Populist leaders hadn't fooled with Peter W. Kline they would have been ho much better off. A great many people seem to think Mr. Hill can carry New York, but ilr. Hill himself, haviag delayed hia aaawer to the convention committee so long-, it appears he is ia j;rave doubt himself. John P. Altccelb for president in 1893 as suggested by tha New York Populists is quite as good at Bon Tillman for pres ident as suggested by Ban Tillman him self. Either oue would make a good presidential candidate for the Populist prty. Neither appears to fear the Al mighty or Satan. A man !g not always to be blamed for abandoning the cause of the working people, for how irany, many times have the working people abandoned their leaders; leaving them to be cast into jail or to sink beneath the abuse of the enemies of working people. A labor leader is always treading on quicksand. Eldorado Tin.es (Rep.): Republi cans will soon ro.urn to national power but they will nevtr re-enact the McKin ley tariff. And i? should not be done.

Why not have laws to protect 1 the mentally weak from the Invasion of the mentally strongr Abuene Kenctor. People are not educated up to that kind of Christianity yet. Preaohar.J, teachers and statesmen congratulate the world on i having paiied the age whea the physi cally strong knocked down the weak and took away from thern the result of their labor; but we hear vary little of the wickedneaa of the strong and (scheming intellect which in some instances roba thousands of men of the results of their labor. The robbery is just as vil lainous eb if it had been done by muscle instead of brains; for no man has a right to take from another the result cf hiB toil Bckantox Gazette (Rep.): The State Joubnal and the Republican congres sional committee don't seem to agree on the matter of a joint debate between S. M. Scott and Cha9. Curtis, Populist and Republican candidate for congress respectively. By all means let ua have the debate, as both of the candidates are i willing, and we wouldn't object to have it here in Scranton, if no other placo can be decided on. From all that we can learn they are pretty evenly matched, so far aa intellectual attainments are con cerned, and the debate would no doubt be interesting. Mh. A B. Whiting is really held to be more responsible fur the evils in the present police administration than any other member of the board, ilr. Whit ing has always being regarded as be longing to the prohibition and moral ele ment of the community. He has been always allied with the people who were in favor of the enforcement of laws against vice. What it ia that has apparently changed him it is impossible to explain. As a member of the police board he cer tainly can not condone the evils now flourishing in thia city, and thera is no doubt that he has knowledge of them. What ails Mr. Whiting? Qhesemo Republican: The announce ment regarding the Curris-Bcott debate, seema to have been misleading, since as yet no debate has been arranged. We hope and believe, however, that before the campaign is out the debates will be given not that we have any particular ill feeling towards Scott, but just simply in the interest of science. We wonder just what kind of a talk Scott can make in defense of Populism exempliiied by our representatives iu Washington. KA AS 1 'A li A Gli AIIIS.

The supreme lodge of Knights of Pyth ias adopted a new system of transfer of membership. The now rule provides that by paying dues for 30 days a Knight mar retain his membership In his old lodge unless admitted to another within that time. The bond of the supreme master of the exchequer was fixed at ?50,000. The committee on mileage reported tha total cost of the supreme lodge session at $21,722.60. The total mileage of all the representatives was 272,552, which, at 5 cents a mile, footed up to J 13,627.60. The per diem of the representatives amounted to $11,095. At the annual meeting of the Illinois brigade Brigadier General J. II. Barkley wtis unanimously re-elected to that rank. The supremo lodao decided that persons engaged in the liquor traffic as saloon keep ers or bartenders shall not hereafter be ad mitted to the order. The new code of rules makes the su preme lodge and the uniform rank inde pendent of each other, so it is not certain that they will meet at the same place here after. The value of the property owned by the uniform rank today aggregates very near ly $1,300,000. During the past two years the net increase lias been 72,025 members. UNITED WORKMEN.

Popnllsts and Republicans Combining Against the Iemocratic O i:t re li y. Washington, Oct '6. Much interest is manifested at the Republican and Demo cratic headquarters in the Populist move ment in certain parts of the union, par ticularly in the south. Mr. Dunning, the editor of the Na tional Watchman, the organ of the Pop ulists, is one of tho frequent visitors at Republican headquarters, which ia re .irded as signiUcant considering that moat of the hopeful Populi3t alliances of the year are with the Republicans and uim at the overthrow of the Democrats, who, the Populists claim, are worse than ihe Republicans iu that they have con stantly played the traitor to their own platform. Dunning ia very bittor againet the southern Democratic method of counting votes. "Everybody knows," he asserts, "that if the white votes aione had been counted we would have elected our governor in Virginia last year. It was in the black belt that Ferral found liii majority, just as it was the black belt in Alabama that was made to show heavy Democratic majorities. With a fair election in the south we would control the congressional delega tions in every state down to Florida. We want a fair election in North Carolina, and especially in Virginia, and if we can get it by combining with the Republicans we will do it. We don't fuse iu the sense .1 accepting each other's principles, but we want to rout a common enemy. "Whether we will do it or not," said Mr. Dunning, with a doubtful shake of the head, "is atiother question. Still, our causa is gaining ground and wo will win some of these day." "Is it true that the author of 'If Christ Came to Congress,' is to be a Populist candidate for congress in Alabama"r"was asked. "Yea. He has already baeu nominat ed. His name is M. W. Howard, and he lives in the district now represented by Colonel Denson. He is a man of gigan tic stature, being 6 feet Jjig inches high. The Populists have a clear majority of 5,000 in that district, and we ought to cur ry it." "Mr. Taubeneck, the chairman of our committee, has published a letter show ing that Denson, in order to have our support, received $.000 from us to light the election of Oates. Instead of doing this, he supported Oates and we have marked him for defeat. We have the letters to prove our statements in this matter." It is certainly not particularly credita ble that such a man should receive hon ors from any source, as the book refer red to is by far the trashiest of the several so-called stories that have been written of Washington life. It is indecent, untrue, odious in every way and has not even the merit of a pas sably good literary style. Both congressional committees are re ceiving compliments for including in their campaign literature the speech of Pigott, of Connecticut, showing that the Populists of the two houses of the cur rent congess have introduced biils call ing for appropriations aggregatin if 3-V 0liU,00O,0uO. Chairmrn Buahneil of the First Nebraska district, ordered 10,000 of Pigott's speeches yesterday, and they were placed in franked envelopes, sealed and mailed in 1 hour and 14 minute:. As a matter of simple fairness, how ever, Mr. Pigott should have stated that Congressman Livingston, a Georgia Democrat, introduced bills exiling for aggregated appropriations of $4s,000, 000, and that the great Democrat from Illinois, Senator Palmer, introduced bills calling for an expenditure of 45,u00,- OjO. Of course nearly all of these bills, no matter who presented them, were intro duced by request and their parentage was not assumed by either Populist or Democrat in Congress. The amount of matter sent outree by the use of a congressman's frank, im printed with a rubber stamp, strongly suggests the necessity of some reform of the franking privilege. At the yery least th member should be compelled n ft jtr n inn Successors to WIGGIN, CROSBY CO. to writo his autograph with hia own hand. Hundreds of tons of frank matter are sent out in the mails every year, and the people are taxed to pay the railroads for the transportation. By the u of fac simile autograph stamps, the scope of the abuse is vastly increased, and really amounts to a gigantic swindle of the pub lic. The Populists have carefully avoided any attack upon this pernicious invention of the old parties, and they themselves are eager to take advantage of it in the interests of a cheap dissemination of their literature.

A Man Goes Insana It is Said Bo causa of Povarty, COUPLED WITH MUCH ILL HEALTH. Somethins About a Toprka IIa--wrixlit How .71 r. Jcnninsx Makes tiie father. For two houri yesterday a young man with pale blue eye, eat on the tire plug at the corner of Seventh aud Kansas ave nue, his left arm raised toward the sun imploringly and his almost sightless eyes staring at it, prnying- spasmodically. Finally he dropped to the pavement and after a momeat arose and resumed las former positioa, the blood streaming from a cut in the back of his head and trickling' around the left side of his face till it fell ia little drops from his chin. "Ah, God forgive me," he said slowly in a low tone, 'Mive mercy help me, O Father. Heavenly Father, what shall I do? Is there any hope? Give me one more chance." 8oiUt wondering- passersby drew near and some one s snt for the patrol wagon. It wts dimply the snapping- of another brain under th burden of poverty and ill-health. The young- mm's name is Levi Willey. Five years kjjo he came to Topeka from Vermont. Until the trolley cars began to run he was a car driver an i boarded at lit! west Taath street. Since that time he has worked at odd jobs when he could get them to do and for awhiia kept a street stand on west Sixth near the avenue. For some time past he has been out of work and has been rooming at 107 west Tenth. A reporter called at the house. There they say that Willey has been eick and acting strangely for several days. Last night he went to hia room ''.rir:." the rain, and threw all his i c ue.otaes evsa to the tick and the clothing ha had worn, out into the rain. He also went down stairs, lighted a lamp and left it burning all niht. His roommate says that several times of late lie has found Willey ia the room kneeling at a ch.ur praying, but he had not been able to get him to talk about hia strange actiotia. When the patrol wagon arrived to take him to his room he had to be lifted bod ily to the seat, where he was supported by '.he policemen. He insisted on look ing straight at the sun with his eyea wide open. He was taken to his old boarding place at 11U West Tenth, aud Dr. McCiintock Fent for, who dressed the wound. 'The youug uaa is about thirty years of age and Lai no relative living here. It Is said his pareats were once wealthy, but are now pjnniless. He has never exhibited any sins of insanity till re- ".tly and ha never been of a very re ligious turn of mind. He was poorly dressed. His relatives in Vermont will be noti fied immediately. HOW TUKY KI N THE WEATHER. Particulars of W etiUior Observer .Jen itinyrs 31 usinesa for the .Public If you think it doesn't take machinery and study to katp track of the weather yon are very much mistaken. In tha headquarters of the Kansas de partment of L nele Samuel's weather lureau in the top story and on the roof of the Columbian building Weather Ob server T. B. Jenainga or hU assistant may be found at any hour of the day or night charging the weather up with ita eccen tricities or givicg It credit for its decency as the case may be. When you wander out in the balmy breezes of the apring time, Gentle Annie, with not a cloud on your sky (or as Sir. Jennings would say, 100 per cent of sun ehiae) and you tiptoe back home an hour later with water running into your low ehoes and the Btaia from your carmine stockings on tour feet. Mr. Jennings knows just how many hundredths of in ches of rain it repaired to bring about the change. On the roof are two cans set side by side that look very much as though some body had lt'ft tbe interior part of their ice cream freezera there. One of these is uaod to record the rainfall and the other the snowf In the rain guage U a bran tube that looks like a printer's roller mould, the superficial area of which is just one-tenth of that of the can outside of it. Leading to ths mouth of the interior tube is a f annel-shaped contrivance with the same area a the outside can. The rain falls into this and runs into the tube which ia one-tenth the size. When the rain has ceased Mr. Jennings measures the water in the tube with hia rule, ou which the teeth of tta inch Is magnified, if the expression is permissible, to the siza of an inch. This shown exactly then just how many hundrethi of an inch have fallen. There is also a delightful little ma ehia which wi- h the aid of clock work STATE H V ill ii A Cheviots, Worsteds, Our new cutaway suits are equal to those uJtti t. -tn xxjxm-l.

There are four little cups that revolve as the wind compels them to and tor each live hundred r-volutions of the cups the wind has eo-r. i a mile. Eich rive hundred revolution .s registered in the room below on a little machine that greatly resembles the "Dutch clock" you aeo in the caboose of a freight train. If there are five little scratches in fif teen minutes space, as depicted on the cylinder, that shows Mr. Jennings that the wind is rustling anions the leaves at a rate of twenty miles an hour and he hitches his trolley to his hat before he goes on the roof to see about it. When the still warm days of summer are upon us he knows about it. And when the Arctic regions come down and bring their atmosphere along and plant its feet in the small of your back he knows about that also: and he can come pretty near tailing you whan to begin laying in your fresh supply of coal. There are delicate machines or instru ments for all these things and he keeps a record of all of tueui. He can tell by looking at them at any time just what the mean, minimum and maximum temperatures for the day have been and just what per cent of moisture there is ia the atmosphere. He knows that if the air is about a3 full of moist ure as it can get and not stagger, a sud den lowering of the temperature is likely to produce rain. Aud he has to keep daily records of ail those things, and not only that, but lf must keep the daily records oi ninety eight other stations in the a:ate. Hail is too serious a thing to snub and it must be looked aftar. bleet is coniidered rain and the snowfall is measured by melt-in,"- it and pouring it into tht r&'m gauge. There is a wonderful lot about the weather that, to use a slang expression, the general public isn't onto. A. TOPEKA PLAi'WKIOnT. S. 31. Gardeiiliire Has Written Some Noted -Pieces. It Is not generally known that S. M. Gardenhire, clerk of the district court, besides being a ready and graceful writer, has written at least four plays that are or will be on the Auisrican stage. Probably the most no table of these U the opera "The Knickerbockers" which he copyrighted some two years ago. The music for this opera has been written by Reginald DeKoven and the libretto by Henry B. Smith. This opera was submitted to the Boston Ideals some time ago and is now being re hearsed. The opera is said to be one of real merit. Mr. Gardenhire' "A Social Dilemma" is one of his best pieces. It ia a comedy of humorous plot and interesting dia logue. It i now in the hands of Daniel Frohmn, of New York. Another play, "Dol-.-ri-" ii in the hands of Miss Mar berry and wiil probably be put on the boards in New York this winter. The best known of Mr. Gardenhire's productions, but one which he coosiders rather inferior in a literary way is "Little Nugget," which has beu played every season since 1830. It was written by Mr. Gardenhire and Mr. D:i Mars, the now famous Boston journalist. "Little Nugget" has been on the boards every season since it was sold to Sisson Cawthara in 1830. Mr. Gardauhire sold his interest in the drama outright at a price that barely repaid the work spent on it Du liars, however, held on to his interest iu it and draw a handsome roy alty on it up to six years ago, when he sold out at a fancy figure. "A Social Dilemma" and '-Dolores" are Mr. Gardenhire' latest works, and he says his political duties are uch that he is prevented from doing any literary work at present. MIGHT BKIXtt HERE JIOiT. Clement Would Like 1 1 i ixx to Come Out Here, Also JTieldeii. G. C. Clemen3 says he would like to have Herr Mo Ernna Goldman and Samuel Fielden come to Topeka and make some speeches. "It would -not do for them to come dur ing a political cam paign," said Mr. Clem ens to a Statu Jjcksal reporter, and the original Topeka anarchist raised his eye brows as he spoke. Continuing he said: "They would not stand it, they ,y the campaign must be conservative." "Whom a j you mean by Haey?" asked the reporter. "Oh, the powers that be.

A man who had the appearance of be ing a well-to-do farmer went into a well known grocery store yesterday after noon. "Have you any good cheese?" asked he of the proprietor. "Yes, we have some excellent New York cheese at 17J cent per pound." "Let me see some of it." The man looked at the cheese, smelled it, tasted it and said: "That don't taste jest exactly like New York cheese to mti. I will see what I can do some place else." He went out and in about half an hour he returned. "Say," said he, "I have found that I can't do any better on the cheese. The other stores don't do any better. Give me a nickle's worth." He took a handful of silver from his pocket, found the niokle aud paid for the cheese aud walked away. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. AH hail to McKlo'.ey, the chief of protection.

Miss Coiistaure Speaks Up in a I'uhlic .Meeting: Sys (She'd Like to Vote. Atchison, Kas., October 3. At a suf frage meeting here last night a speaker quoted John J. Ingalls as saying he opposed suffrage because his wife and daughters did not want to vote. The speaker added, that if they had to work and make shirts at sixty cents a dofen like the poor women of New York, they might advise him differently. Mies Constance Ingalls was in the au dieuce and created a sensation by mak ing a reply, saying she had made four dresses during the past eight days and knew how to work. "I would like to vote," she added, "but am not old enough." M'KINLEY AT EMPORIA. rive Thousand People .Meet the Governor at that Point. Emporia, Kansas, October 3. The country folks have apparently teen advised of the coming of McKin ley; for at every little station there have been groups of cheering men. Short stops were made at Scranton, Burlingame and Osage City, where hun dreds of miners and farmers were con gregated to see and hear the author of the McKinley law. At Emporia fully 5,000 men and women in Humboldt park ad joining the railroad tracks set up a shout a3 the special train rolled in and cannon boomed out a deafening salute. The governor spoke for half an hour, then continued his journey westward. Cotton Kelt pirfciorn i-,ifrtea.

Q 'j 1 FLA3IBEAUX TONIGHT. Four Clubs Will Parade Tog-ether Kansas City's Mayor to Speak. The coming of Governor McKinley has been the cause for turning today into a Republican day in Topeka. At the conclusion of Governor McKin ley's address this morning, the greater part of the crowd scattered but the several hundred people who remained at the statehouse square were addressed by J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City, and P. 1'. Campbell of Pittsburg. This afternoon a suffrage meeting is being held at the state house square. The suffrage speakers are Judge A. II. Vance, Albert Griffin, and other local suffrage workers. Tonight there is to be a big demon stration on Kansas avenue, to be followed by a Republican mass meeting at Ham ilton hall. The speakers at tonight's meeting will be Mayor Webster Davis of Kansas City, Mo., and James A Trout man. The street demonstration is likely to attract a large crowd, as preparations have been made for a good display of fireworks by the flambeau clubs. The Topeka Republican Flambeau club, the North Topeka Republican Flambeau club, the Mission Township Mounted Republican Flambeau club and the Scandinavian Republican club have all arranged to participate in the street display. A Rapid Transition. A Cincinnati man describes for a reporter a novel sight he saw recently at a mill devoted to making paper for pine tree pulp. "I was invited to select a tree, which I did, and it was cut down for me in the morning. I watched it during the day undergoing- and at G o'clock that evening the tree was paper. At midnight a portion of it was sufficiently dry to be taken to a printing office, and a few of the next morning's paper were printed on this product. From a tree to a printed newspaper in twenty-four hours ia probably the bast time on record." A I. ate Marriage. The parish register of Greenwich, Eng., records the marriage, 1685, No vember IS, of "John Cooper of this parish, almsman in Queen Elizabeth college, aged 10S, and Margarett Thomas of Charlton, in Kent, aged 80 years, by License of ye Lord Bishop of Rochester, aud leave of ye Govern ors of ye Drapers." It would be difli cult. in all probability, after this lapse of time, to substantiate the age of the bridegroom, but that of tha bride indicates, I think, that Cooper, whether centenarian or no, was, at any rat. a very old man. One won ders "who proposed." Strango I rienrl. Affection between racehorses and cats is rare enough to make it worth while to put on record two instances of it. Lord Godolphin owned a fam ous Barb horse, of which a oat was so fond that it was always to be found near it, or nestling on its back. When the horse died in 1T53, aged 29 years, the cat refused all food, pined away, and died of grief. In the other case the racehorse showed more active fondness, for it would pick up the cat with its mouth without hurting it, and then place it on its back. Tha Tower of Babel. Early English building was done with what would now be called very small stones, and the unwillingness or inability of the workmen to raise and deal with heavy misses is in dicated in a sculptured representa tion of the building of Babel pre served in the Chapter house of Salis bury.

IS THIS POSSI3LE? Are the Advanced Women Agitated Mere ly JBecut Ihey Art Not Beautiful? Six wood cuts of advanced women recently published by a newspaper are calculated to suggest to tbo beholdei several thoughts of a painful nature. Making all allowance for the well Imovvu fhoricr 'A c f the vroodcutiei recalling indeed more finished por traits these she-malts aro homcliei than inartistic sin or unleavened virtue. Fla&hing a dark lantern i)to the cave and subterranean piissagc s of memory, where such objects are packed away especially o' nights after a late dinnei not one face favored by heaven out of the whole pack of advanced women smiles into view. Some there are that in youth may have been prepossessing, but there is no record that at that re mote period they were advanced. Ot the younger recruits there is not one that a man would turn his neck to look at not one, rot one. And we all ki;ow that there are nieii'that will wa'k back ward to stare at any woman decently good iooking. Now, the question naturally arises, Would these same women be advanced if they were possessed of that divine prerogative of their se:: beauty? It they were even round and rosy and pret ty? It is all very well to talk about the commanding strength of heredity and curtailed power of the environment, but just transform an ugly woman into a pretty one, and she will leap from pes simism to optimism like a torrent ot water that has been unnaturally dam med. For men make this wcrld a very pleasant place for pretty women even for thosa who do not take undue liber ties with the decalogue. Idost women with beauty marry young and are quite content to let some one else light the battle of life for them. If they niake a mistake, they quietly divorce the defi cient party in the contract, and, with ripened judgment, marry again. Those who don't many and are forced to earn their own living find the way much easier if they pleaso the eye of man, and naturally they take an optimistic view of life. I am not prepared to deny that they meet many bold, bad men in the finan cial arena, but a keen witted fiirl can manage any m;.n, and such trials are not to be mentioned in the same hour with the dreary, hopeless, nrad footed, backbone wilted tramp of tiie homely woman. The latter will "pet there," of course, if she has brains ami persist ence, but no success can compensate for that bleak and mortifying retrospect. 2so wonder she curses unsympathetic man even from the platform and in the po lemical novel. Fhe would be justified in cursing the whole schemo of creation. Mauy of the prominent advanced have had a decent enough time of it finan cially. Bat jnst as surely as their view point is stunted and warped they are plain, and man has not made tiieir desert blossom like tho reise. The world is all wrong to them, and they would make it right by shouting denunciation of man as he is spoke, not reflecting that shouting ruins the inflections of the voice and distempered thoughts turn the complexion green and life blue. Tha odd part of it is that these wom en when they write their novels invaria bly make their propagandist heroines beautiful. Bewitchingly, seductively, 6tormalIy, regally or circeriily beautiful are these young women of paper who would resolve man into his elements and remake him after a pattern which would immediately bring the human race to an end. These writers paint women that physically represent all they themselves yearn to be, never re flecting that those rretty heads would not harbor their own distorted and in digo views of life five minutes. In the hands of a man author those same hero ines would make the pages hum. But these wood cuts suggest another alarming question. Is beauty on the de cline? For the ranks of the advanced are now many and many thousands strong. The suffrage movement, the temperance movement, the autiman movement, the anti-in-general movement, all of which may be grouped under the general head of womaui; m, are filling space like a mighty flock of crows and hiding the light of the stars. Of course their chil dren if they condescend to have any will be hideous, and the ultimate pros pect is awful, far nothing that the hu man brain can evolve can ever take the place of beauty, whether it be beauty of face, of art or of a mountain under a purple mist. An 1 as these women are as absolutely without the sense of beauty as they are without proportion and hu mor the natural result will be, if they multiply and overrun the earth, that beauty and the perception of it will dis appear. If nature manages to survive, she will be partitioned off into the tract arable and the tract unarable and can change her foliage to cinnamon pink if she lists, while, as for art, it will disappear altogether. The only hope this planet has is that man will respectfulJy but firmly decline to marry the advanced woman, in which case the e-vil will be confined to the present generation. But there are as many feeble souled males in this world as there are distempered females, and the danger lies in their trembling admiration for and final ab sorption by the amazons of this im memorial quarter, in which case let us all thank our several fates that although we may be La at the death we will be spared the contemplation of a misbegot ten posterity.

A cattle dealer arrived in Paris the oth er day, with th? intention of having his portrait painted in oils. He applied to an artist near the Madeleine and in conclud ing the bargain dwelt strongly on his wish that the likeness should be striking and unmistakable. The painter promised that it should be so. "Indeed," he added, "I will appeal to the most disinterested judge possible to your own bulldog. We will show him the picture and see whether he recognizes you." Accordingly when the picture was fin ished it was brought Into the dealer's lodging, placed on the floor, and the dog was called in. He instantly ran up to the portrait and began to lick it, wagasing his tail and showing every signof delight ed affection.

The crowd at Kansas City last nifirht to see the Hindoo story of Prince Rama told in twenty chapter by twenty Hoat3 waa certainly immense. Kansas city may have seen laryer crowds, but a ffood many of the oldest inhabitants here who have been at tending these celebration for years do not remember it. All day yesterday the railroads leading1 into the city from all directions were taxed to their fullest capacity carrying the people in. All night they were taxed to their fullest capacity carrying people out. The Topeka people were numerous there. At least ten train loads of people went into Kansas City from Topeka and surrounding- towns. The main inducement for Topeka peo ple to attend was the fact that Marshall's Military band, of which we are all so proud, had been chosen to lead the pageant. The Union Pacific took iu two long trains from the west yesterday afternoon, the Hock Island followed with two more and the banta Fe had the same number. All this besides an immense throng that had thought to secure peace and seats by taking the morning trains. The interest centered in particular about the Rock Island depot where the band's special car 8tooi Before the train left the band formed in marching position in the rear of the depot and hud its picture taken. It wore its prettiest suits, the white with the plumed helmets. On the train was a perfect crush. Peo ple stood up in all the aisles and ou the, platforms. So far as seats were concern ed there was no respect shown to any body in consideration of their birth or aristocratic position in life. Sex was the only line, and evon it was ralher irregu lar." Before the journey was over, people were glad to sit anywhere and the steps were crowded, the coal boxes were oc cupied, the seat arms were spoken for, and one young man from up the road who, in his light troupers and desper ation, sat down on a freshly blacked stove, was compelled to trade his short coat for a longer one in order to keep up the dignity for which his social class is famed. Assistant Passenger Agent George Baiuter, and Chief Clerk Pier of the road, were amonir the unfortunates who paced the aisles and longed for more cars and more seats. The crowd was wonderfully good hu mored, though. The band's train did not reach the Kansas City Union depot till after 6 o'clock by reason of the delay occasioned by the inability of the terminal facilities to handle the numerous trains, which gave the passengers a good half hour in which admire the beautiful stock yards scenery. There was no one to meet the band and they ate their suppers at the Union depot hotel, after which they were late at the place the parade was destined to form. It was after 9 o'clock before the parade fought its way through the army of peo ple on Main street with Topeka's baud in the lead. At all points along the line the approach of the Kansas band brought out a cheer. There were twenty bands in the procession and nineteen of them were poorer than Topeka's and the mul titude recognized it. Everywhere there was praise for Mar shall's band. It was the biggest and the best, it was the most handsomely dressed and it received the most applause. "That's Marshall's of Topeka," the peo ple said, and there were cheers not from Kansas people alone, by any means. Of course the band played nothing but marches. It was almost impossible to get to the train for the return trip and the depot platform was a seething sea of strug gling people trying to get to their trains alive. There was very little drunkenness and all who could get a place to went to sleep. The band boys came home on the second section of the Rock lifand train and most of them were tired enough to sleep. Two of the band boys wandered into the Pullman and aroused the porter's official dignity. "You fei'ers want to keep outo' heah," he commanded. "Who are you," asked one of the boys, "Jiir. Pullman?" "No, sah; my name's Froy, nah." "Well, Mr. Frey, you seem to be on the wrong- train. Thia is the Rock Island." ROCK ISLAND TIIAINS. A Grand Consolidation of Trains to Take Kli'ect Next .Sunday.

PARKIIURST'S HOT SHOT. Reads an Offer of $1,000 for the Impeach ment of a Police Justice. New York, Oct 3. Dr. Parkhurst attracted a large audience to Amnity hall last night. He spoke under the auspices of the city vigilance league. The doctor was evidently suffering from the effects of the severe strain to which he is subjected, as he did not speak with his accustomed ease. lie hurled some hot shots at the police justices and the police department, however. The audience was informed by Dr. Parkhurst that to witness the examina tion of Mr. Goff, when he fairly had to gimlet the testimony from them, was far better than goiug to a theater for amuse ment. He spoke of the unreliability of the word of the policeman, saying that ex-Commissioner of Police Voorhis put himself on record as asserting that he seldom put any credence in what a policeman testified. The "character of the police court matters touches more closely the future of the municipality he said, "than even the police." Dr. Parkhurst read from a letter he had received from a prominent man in which he offers to any young lawyer in the city a fee of $l,00v) for the successful impeachment of a police justice. This oiler, the writer explained would be binding on his heirs and he hoped some of the representatives of the bar would take it up. N 0RT11 TOPEKA.

Ex-Adjutant General Artz, the man who nominated Gov. Lewellinf in the "Wichita convention, rode a Licycie in the SIcKinley escort. "How ia this general; how do you happen to be in the procea sivjuV" asked a Jciiisal reporter. "I believe in honoring a governor who will not Bteal, and no one haa ever ac cused ilcKinley of stealing. He has never catered to the baser-element of so ciety. That is what our governor has done, and he has accepted pre miums from theci besides If thia Pop ulist crowd is elected again they would steal the mountains of Missouri in an other two years. "A steal will be'unearthed and Zercher will then come out in a lot of slush and excuse it, by charging that the Republi cans stole more. Why, the Republicans had thirty years of practice, 'i hese fel lows up here (pointing to tho state house) Buy I ought not to eay anything about it, but I am not thai kind of a man. I be lieve in getting- after a thief wherever you lind him. "I am stronger in the Populist princi ples thaa I ever was, but I cannot en dorse stealing, ro matter who does it. That is why i roce in the McKinley pro cession." IX THE JOd.NSTOWX rLOOD. Governor McKinley and S. H. Hratlford Occupied the Same Car tor Three lays. S. B. Bradford regretted exceedingly that he was unable to see Governor -McKinley today, but he had an engage ment to Epeak in tt afternoon at the Grand Army reuaion at Chetopa. Mr. Bradford's acquaintance with the Ohio Three Leading Scientists Proclaim the Superior Value of Dr. Price's Baking" Powder. Scientists are devoting; closer attention to food products. Recent examinations of baking powders by Prof. Long-, Dr. Haines, and Prof. Prescott, were made to determine which powder was the purest, highest in leavening- strength, most efficient in service, and most economical in cost. They decide that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder excels in all tho essentials of an ideal preparation for household use. They write: "Chicago, March 28th, 1894. We have purchased in the open market cans of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder and also of the other leading brands of baking xowders, and have submitted them to chemical analysis. TV'e find that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar powder, that it has a considerably greater leavening strength than, any of the other baking pavvders we have ever tested.

By some chance they were traveling ia the Bams car together in Western Pennsyl vania in the spring of 1S9 J. Mr. Brad ford had just completed his term as at torney general. The two men were not acquainted with each other. Their train was not far from the town of Joiwftowu when the terrible flood came which drowned thousands of people. The track on both sides of the train for several miles was washed completely away, and the entire party was sidetracked at the little station of Steelsburg for three days. During their unavoidable delay the Ohio statesman and the Kansas statesman be came well acquainted and the latter has most agreeable recollections of the 72 i hour spent sidetracked ia a car with I 1 IT I 1 A ROYAL OREETINO. That Was Stretched on Canvas Acros the State House Front Incidents. Across the south front of the state house, fastened to the stuno pillars di rectly faciug Governor McKinley us he spoke, was a large cloth banner iu col ors: It read: "The Gates of Kansas Swing with the Breeze and the Keys of City and Hamlet Hang on the Outside. Welcome, Tiirice Welcome, Win. Mc Kinley, Ohio's Governor, Protection's Champion." On both sides of the steps were ban ners also. The one on tiie west read: "Bill McKinley, the Defender, and Mc Kinley Bill, the Protector of American Industries and American Watjea for the Nation's Wage Earners." Oa the other side the banner said: "Redeem the Commonwealth in 1S'J4 from the Blight of Populism, and Kansas Will Again Stand Foremost Among the States of the Union and a Prosperous Peopla Wtll Smile at Calamity's Woes." The camera fiend was there and very much in the way. The crowd had a no tion to crush him several times but it would have entailed too many funerals. "Confound him, why don't he hold still," said one exasperated one, as Mr. McKin ley moved back and forth on the plat form. The firing of the cannon produced more consternation than enthusiasm. Every time a gun went off the crowd would jump, and one old lady from the comvinceQ o e country tied a handkerchief around her ears. Mr. McKinley looks exactly like the pictures published of him, but the school children that were assembled in front of the Presbyterian church to salute him, made a comical mistake in allowing his carriage to pass by unnoticed and cheering to an echo the carriage that contained Frank Jarrell and the news paper men. Mr. Jarrell was fully equal to the emergency and bowed with the greatest dignity he could command while the children cheered again. "That man can't talk," said a young woman from out of town after she had vaiuly endeavored for several minutes to catch a few words of Mr. McKinlev's address. "I bet I could talk louder than that." There were .sideshows, too. Johnny Radford, Populist, had captured an au dience of half a dozen on the east side of the crowd and delivered an eloquent if not effective anti-McKinley speech. There were several refreshment stands on the ground but they were uot very well patronized. The crowd's hunger di in t tend in that direction. Returning to the depot the procession came from tho state house at Ninth street and passed down Kansas avenue. Several hundred school children lined the street at IS'inth to greet the distin guished visitor and he bowed and smiled to them pleasantly. He was universally recognized as he passed down the street in the carriage and was kept continually bowing and smiling to his admirers. 1HK GOVERNOR'S IIANIJSHAKK. It is it Peculiar One and Affects People Oildlj-. Governor McKinley'a handshake is something new. When the visitor is presented to the governor he immediately distorts his handsome face with a smile that ia manifestly forced, moves two or three steps toward the caller at a brisk pace, grabs the extended haud, and, quick as a flash, elevates it to about the highth of his chin, where he "jiggles" it a few times aud then gently removes his own soft, velvety hand in a half apologetic manner, as if to say: ''Did I let you squeeze my hand long enough?" The caller is left with his hand in mid air and he doesn't know how it got there. Then if he tries to talk to the Ohioan he will find him ready, willing, anxious to talk, but somehow it occurs to the caller that there is nothing to talk about. The governor stands smiling and bent forward in expectant attitude, but not a;sugges tion ha he yet made on which conversa tion can be hinged, and the visitor feels an oppressive embarrassment creeping over him which tempts him to turn and flee. Other public men seem always ready with some pleasant greeting to put the stranger at perfect ease and establish a feeling of equality, which begets loyalty. McKinley appears eager enough to do this, but he evidently doesn't know how. He looks strong enough and intellectual enough to administer any government on earth, but doesn't know how to asic the peopie for votes after inspiring their con fidence iu his ability and integrity. "This is Mr. Jones, a Republican from Wayback," the introducer would say in presenting a gentleman to Governor Mc Kinley. The governor would bolt forward, grab the horny hand of Jones from Wayback carry it up to the height of his chin, move it deliberately first to the right and then to the left, then up and down two or threa time3 and drop it, leaving Jones wondering what had been done to his hand and aching to say something interesting, but without the sligntest in teresting thing on his mind to say. The governor, seeing the visitor's manifest embarrassment, wouid try to start con versation himself, but he seldom got beyond a pertinent observation regarding the weather, which usually took the form of "Delightful day, isn't it?" and then that ended the talk with that particular caller. Mind you, though, it was not ended by anything Governor McKinley did or said, but undoubtedly by-what he did not do or say. An enthusiastic Irish-American Re publican rushed into the gubernatorial presence recently, determined to impress upon "the next president" how welcome he was to the west. Despite the hand shake the Milesian rallied and with a mighty elfort blurted out thia: meniDer Come in the evening, come in tho morning. Come when you're looked for. or come without warninsr; A cead milie faithe you'll find here before you. And tho oftener we'll see you, the more we'll adore you. Everybody thought that this fine old Irish verse, with a bit of the real Gaelic right in the middle of it, would inspire Governor McKinley to some quick re sponse, but it didn't. Instead, it made him blush. He bit his lips nervously, looked around the room as if he were frightened, and, partly recovering hi3 composure, observed in tones brave and loud: "What delightful weather you are hav ing here!" The governor is as cordial as he can possibly be toward newspaper men, and talks with those who call on him with freedom and without apparent caution. "I wish you would all join our party and go west with us," he said. "I guess wo will have a jolly time, and I like to sea newspaper men enjoy themselves." The governor meant every word of this. His manner and tone showed that he did. THE POPULISTS WERE ItUSV. Bills Distributed Intended to Call Atten tion to Protection' Drawbacks. The Populists had 10.UU0 bills contain ing an extract from the report of the Ohio labor commissioner printed and distributed among the crowd which turned out to hear McKinley at the state house. It was a3 follows: THE BEAUTIES OF m'kinlkyism as EXEMPLIFIED IN OHIO. EXTRACTS FKOM REPORT OF LABOR COMMISSIONER FOR 1859. Number of women employed iu factories in the s.aco of Ohio, 40,'J.jJ. S afji-s iuid raiie from 50 cents to $1 per day; average, 7S cents. Av eraxe of yearly wages, $'i7.yo. In commenting upou the employment of women in these factories the labor commissioner uses the following lan guage: "Public sentiment can only be aroused in opposition to great wrongs by expos ing them. Slavery could never have been abolished had the conscience of the nation not been quickened Dy exposure of the horrible details of slave life; and so the horrors of factory life. Slavery itself Is scarcely more degrading, its hor rors scarcely more revolting, and its ef fects scarcely more damaging to good morals and good government, than 13 fast becoming the result by the displacement of men in the workshops of the country with women. I he woman wage-worker has come, and I fear, come to stav. She has not come as au angel in disguise, bearing blessings; but like a deadly frost in mid- summer, blighting, withering and de She is in nearly all the facto stroying. ries, working at starvation wages, dis placing men. She is not only in the cigar, stogie and tailor shops, but every where that wheels are moving in the workshop or factory. She ia in the glass factories, the planing mills, carriage and iron worka; and wherever she is found she isdoingthe work of a man at one half man's wages." A. D. Fassett, a Republican, was the commissioner who made the above re port. The next session of the Ohio legis lature abolished'the office of labor com missioner, so that all such damning facts may henceforth be covered up. Such is the condition of affairs in McKinley's owu state. VUhlilcy Trust's Xew Order. Peoria, I1L, Oct 3.

Officials of the Japanese legation have received an in teresting budget of news and gossip from the last mail from Japan. The spirit of the people is shown in the war songs sung by the Japanese troops as they push toward Pekin. The eongs were officially compiled by order of Prince Arisugawa. They breathe great bitterness against China and declare that "now is the time to plant the rising sun on the walls of Pekin and to illumi nate its darkness." Each verse of the song begins and ends with "strike and chastise China." The various verses describe the Chinese as arrogant and insolent, with an "army of cowards."
