THE WOMEN WEEP When They Hear the News of Their Amendment. Tearful Scenes in Their Favorite .Resorts. SOME 1)0 .NOT WEEP. They Scf land Say Things '"That Hurt, There is a Bitter Internal Warfare IN LOCAL, CIRCLES Which Injures the Cause More Than Anvthinir Else. How the Women Are Talking About the Defeat. The defeat of suffrage in Kansas has spread a veil of burrow over rnauy a once happy tome in the state. There were women working- f jr the amendment with their whole souls, making it their religion almost, believing in its success as they believe in Leaven, founding their whole future exigence on the sweet privilege of being represt Died at the polls and now that defeat has eouie after all their work and all their prayers the grief of a be reaved mother is almost mild compared with theirs. In Topeka the sorrow is perhaps the keenest. Tope 4 a was the center of the movement in tho state and the women who most hoped for it aud on whom it most depended are hera. On Wednesday morning when the re Turns were coming iu with the most dis couraging regularity the Populist women were assembled with the men at the headquarters cn K.ghth street waiting for and reading them with heavy hearts, it became reasonably certain, soon, that suffrage was defeated, and then it was the puifrogist could no longer conceal the fact that she was a woman, and a woman ly one. The scene was one of genuine mourn ing. Three of the women at least could no longer restrain the tears, and they al lowed them to Xlow unchecked and un abashed, while their sisters that were not busy with some moist drops of their own, did their bet to comfort them with caressing wordi. and soft pats upon the cheek. One of the women who has never wavered in her beiief that the sullrage amendment would carry, was almost heartbroken. Wheu she became convinced that hope deferred was the greater agony, she gave up her hope and hr dignity and dropping upon tne door in despair, moaned aioud. fitting there in Turkish fashion if not iu Turkish trowsers cho allowed her grief to saw he back and forth ami with her handkerchief to her eyes sobbed and groaned quite i.u libly She was not alone. Another disheart ened worker b nt over her and added to her tears her own. The wife of one ol the stale candidate was there aetd whether she cried for ih defeat of her husband or for that of biwfrage will not be known. J hit she cried and heartily. It is de clared by those who claim to know that another one of the women who has spent her summer in ttie Work hid an all day attack of grief and tears at home. All week tne women have been visit ing around among themselves and sit ting si.ently together with their dead. Hut there i.re other women arnocg them who have beed too maltos!d tears an 1 have I een manly enough to look about theta for somebody to "lay it onto." They have been busy ever since the election irj ing to land a cause. Some of them blamed the men and the poor creatures w 10 are unfortunate enough to le entrusted with the affairs of the state have had to bear a great deal of abuse without knowing it. Terrille, indeed, have been the threats against the hated traitors of the other sex. will never vote for a man again as long as I live," said one old lady. If all the women have said about the men lately is true." sail Dr. Harding, who had bsei listening, "1 am truly thankful that I am not married to one." The Republican men ia particular ere receiving a good deal of abuse at the ban Is of the Populist women. "Ttte paupers are all Re publicans"' said one, "and they voted the Ht-puhlican tie.tet after we had fed I j u ml sunimsr. She evidently re ..'v"i .J5 1 A. It U. store that waa (staru I Alliance after the strike la-t 'I could gladly let a Re public i ,'vn to death on my doorstep. The usixt time a tramp comes to my door 1 am going to Mali him if he is a Republi can. He will say 'yes' of course and then I will tell liim'that so am I, but that as we can g-ei his vote for nothing he can go and eat off the Populists." The wildes: scene of the week at which all the ill feeling that has existed to a considerable extent all through the campaign between the Populist and the Republican wurtwo of Kansas Equal Suf frage association name to the surface in great molten qimotitis, volcano like, was at, a meetiug Thursday afternoon.' Here it was that the quarrels of the campaign broke out ia alarming profu sion. Two weeks before when the women adjourned their regular meeting they adjourned to meet "when we are citi zens," but they couldn't wait so they met Thursday. They were ad there including Mrs. Digc-g l)r. Harding, Mrs. Case. Mrs. Potts, Mrs! Lutz, Mr. .Lyon, Miss Bray, Mrs. War dall and others. The meeting ran smoothly enough until something was said about the car rid.3 tt Republican women had given on the same evening Miss Yates was to speak. It was about this lime that Dr. Harding's pent-up wrath broke loose, and she branded Laura Johns ani Mrs. Thurston as double-dyed traitors to the cause, working in a few remarks about our old friends, wr. Iauariot and Mr. Ar nold, as she went aiong. This called for a rply from Miss Bray, who is Mrs. J. W. Thurston's sister, and who was glad the subject had come up. "While Mrs. Thur3ton was president of the Republican league, she had nothing to do with the car ride, after the commit tee to carry it out had been appointed. It was not discovered until within four days of the time appointed that it was dated for the same evening as the Yates meeting. It waa then' too late for a change. The invitations had been issued and the tickets gold' "It was not right,"' continued the now thoroughly angered doctor, "for Laura Johns after she had been made presi dent of our non-partisan sti:Traga organ ization to stray away a:id organize a woman's Republican league and take the best women we had in our organiza tion to build np her new one. tne has simply betrayed the cause of suilrage and 1 would love a Benedict Arnold as compared to her. Mrs. Thurston is jut as bad. She has been .Mrs. Johns' staunchest helper in it, and they have as sociated with such women as Mrs. W oods of the Women's Republican league in this city who I beliove put iu some of her tim before election peddl.ng a petition among the men to gtt them to vote against the amendment. Mrs. Johns has deserted us and left ail the work of the campaign iu the hands of Mrs. Thurston who is the chair man of the campaign committee. I understand that .Mrs. Thurston is glad that the amendment has been defeated. I am not surprised.'' During all this speech '.ittle Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Lyon and Mrs. Cane sa: in hor ror. "Oh please dear don't," sail Mrs. Lyon. "This might get kit print," "I don't care'" said Dr. Harding, "I haven't said anything I'm ashamed of." "Be careful what you are saying," ad mouished Mrs. Case. Mrs. Diggs was speechless. Mrs. Potts was an able second to Dr. Harding. Mrs. Lutz who is on the Johns side of the unpleasantness, did not object to saying a few things at the request of a reporter. "If a disagreement exists in the society at all," she said, "it exists simply aud only in the mind of Dr. Harding, who at one time desired to be president of the Kausas Equal Suffrage association but uufortunately I regret to say only nine of the lifty-one votes of toe state con vention were at ail anxious to make her so. Mrs. Johns and .Mrs. 'lhursdon have done the very best all through the cam paign that they possibly could and the very best anyone could do. What Dr. Harding says does not amount to much except that she is the local president of the organization and as such her opinion must have some weight. Personally, it is of no value. Dr. Harding is a yearner after notoriety, and thatts all you can say about it." Mrs. Wardall i3 much interested in the disagreement, but declares she will not believe Laura Johns capable of such ac tion. At the instance of the Dr. Harding faction and several of the less turbulent of the spirits of the association an at tempt will be made at the next state meeting to introduce a resolution to for bid any ollicer of the Non-partisan Suf frage association to take an active part in party work. There will probably be a big tight over this. The next rock on which the associa tion will split is the subject of the place at which the next yearly meeting will bo held. It is proposed by tho Mr. Johns faction to hold the meeting at Minneap olis, Kan., and as they have the balance of power in the executives committee, it seems likely the meeting will be there. To this tiie Dr. Harding side is very much opposed for several 1 easons. It is charged tnat as Mrs. Johns desiras to be re-elected president ahe wants the meeting to be held in her own badiwicn. where she has power and where ner To peka enemies cannot upset her plans. The association has been invited to To peka where it is thought Mrs. Johns could be easily defeated. The Topeka women, who are opposed to her. de clare that they will get to Minneapolis someway and carry out the.r aim. It is also said that if the meetiug is held at Minneapolis the state wili never hear of it and taerelore believe suffrage dead, whereas if it is held iu Topeka the state papers will print a re port of the meeting aud everybody will know all about it. A hard tigtit will be made to have the meeting located at To peka. The following resolution thanking the election ollicial for their iiudiess iu til lowing the women to be present and check up the result of the vote on Uie amendment was about t:io oniy thing the women have agreed on s.nce the election: "Resolved, That wo extend our hearty thanks to the com missioner of elections and to the election boar Is at the various precincts, for their uniform courtesy and gentlemanly kindness to the committees who kept the tally sheets, aud to tue kind friends who assisted us."

Whole City Stirred Over the Murder of Colliander. Chicago, Nov. 10. The Evening Post today says that owing to the lawlessness ol" the police in certain districts of the city during the election, a strong move ment is on foot to secure an investiga tion of the Chicago police force by state authorities. The civic federation and the civil service reform league, backed by the powerful union league and other prominent organizations will, upon the convening of the state legislature, secure the appointment of an investigating board, and its work is expected to rival, for sensational revela tions, that of the Lexow committee of New York. The murder of G113 Colliander. the young Swede who was mur dered by a gang of toughs wliile watching the counting of ballots in the Ninth precinct of the Twenty third ward last Tuesday did more than anything else to bring matters to a focus. Indignation meetings were held in nearly every ward on the north side last night to protest against the election day outrages, and to pledge united action in avenging the death of brave Gus Colliander, who died in de fense ot the ballot At each meeting- resolutions condemning the brutal murders and assaults and the men in office who are responsible for them, were adopted. Fervid speeches demand ing retribution both in the courts and at the polls were made and applauded by Democrats and Republicans alike re gardless of party strife or affiliation. The facts brought to light by the po lice drag net indicate more conclusively than ever that the Market street gang, otherwise known as the "O'Malley gang," had formed a deliberate plot, not only to seize the ballot boxes of several pre cincts by ma'n force, but to kill the judges and clerks if necessary. It is known that. the members of the gang, all of whom have more or less un savory records, held a number of meet ings in the rear of the Market street sa loon and that their plans were only less perfect than those of the Cronin mur derers. The Record (Ind.) today says: "There are indications that meu.of influence and city office holders were in communi cation if not in direct collusion with the gang; that they had promised its members immunity from police inter ference, and that they had paid the liv ery bills for the carriages tiiat were used both before and after the murder of Colliander. If the facts that were hinted at can be proved the case will furnish most sensational developments, aud the names of men high iu office will be dragged into the fatal slot. The Civic Federation has already gone vigorously into the work of jroseeuting the gang. It began to collect its evi dence' yesterday and no effort will be snared to convict thoso who are g-uilty. No warrants will be sworn out, however, until the police have d ne what they can toward tinding the men wanted. T031 HEED SMILES. When a lieporter Remarks That of Course lie Will He speaker. Portland, Me., Nov. 10. Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed remarked that the elec tion seemed to be all one way, and that comment was uuneccessary. He supposed the newspapers would like to have him outline what he wouid do in the next congress, but he would rather not do that, lie smiled when a reporter remarked that of course he would be speaker of the next house. 3IEDILL FOR SENATOR. BRAMBLE BUSH POLITICS. The Chicago Kilitor Titlked of for Illinois' Choice. Chicago, Nov. 10. Joseph Medill's cand.dacy for the United States senate is being seriously considered by many prominent Republicans. .Many of the leaders of Cook county have had a con ference, at which the matter was dis cussed. They do not expect that Mr. Medill will become an avowed candidate to the extent of opening headquarters in some hotel, but it is understood he has signi fied that he would accept the office if given him. Council liltifT on parei I" Mold. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Nov. 10. The Council Bluffs Nonpareil plant was sold today at receiver's sale. E. E. Hart bid the property in to satisfy a mortgage. An organization has been formed to take the plant, composed of E. E. Hart, banker-, J. J. Steadman and J. II. Pur cell. Mr. Hart will be the president of the company; J. J. Steadman, editor, and J. H. Pureeli managing editor and busi ness manager. FIGHT OX RACES. A ew Political Litjht In Chicago Says Collie Sarcastic Tilings. Chicago, Nov. 10. At a big meeting last night of the Sunset club comp'osed of men of Tarious political beliefs H. S. Taylor, late Populist candidate for con gress, who is regarded as a remarkably brilliant speaker, was called on for a speech. The Republicans wondered mightily and the Democrat lookud puz alel when they heard him say: The Tammany tiger of New York is grievously wounded and the Chicago Tammany kitten lies dead in the alley. The People's Party manipulated the but ton, and the scavenger will do the rest. Silence prevailed. The speaker pro ceeded to say: There is no sort of doubt that there has een a landslide one of those queer, capricious stampedes of the human herd usually started by some trivial thiug, as the flutter of a red rag, or the distressed bawling of a calf. You remember the old nurjery rhyme: 'there was a man in our town, A11U. lie WHfc W01141 1011s wi. Uu jumped into a brainiile bush, Aud scratched out both li 1 ees; And when lie saw what he had done, With aa In. 111. tin an 1 iiiaiu Ilw jumped into another Liusn, And scratched them iu again. Well, in 1S2, the portable public jumped into one bramble bush and now the people have jumped back into the other- with what improvement to the public eyesight remains to be deter mined. Neither of the recent landslides was very intelligent. It is true that in 181)2 thinking Democrats urged that lower tariff meant foreign markets and a re vival of business, and thinking Republi cans said that a higher tariff meant a home market and a revival of business, but the great mass of the floating vote that determined that election knew but little of the merits of the discussion on either side. All that determined the direction c; their march aud led theta into the Dsmocratjc camp was the cry, "We want a change." They got it. This year the bramble bush philoso phers have acted with just as little reason. It is absurd to claim that the Democratic tariff policy has been fairly tried or even inaugurated. It is absurd to suppose that the people intelligently voted for lower tariff in 183, and then, without any intervening experience, voted for hitrher tariff iu 1 8i4. The fact is that the Democrats have had no chance to show the outcome of that policy which was a verv fortunate thing for the country. The Republicans going into office, with Cleveland grasping the veto and tho Populists holding the balance of power iu the senate, will also have no chance and that, too, is a hopeful thing for the country. He went on to picture a condition of things according to which there would continue to be: A government of the peopie gradu ally merging into a government of corporations, the dramshop and the "jail going up and the church and the school going down; the man with the coach enjoying the parks aud the man with the wheelbarrow enduring the al ley; upper society becoming less Ameri can and more British, lower society be coming less of either, and more barbar ian; the feud betweeu the bondholders and the breadwinners mounting steadily from distrust to resentment and from re sentment to rage; the revolt of the bread winners rising like a swelling river; the resistance of the bondholders trying to heighten the dam to contain the flood; violeut strikes increasing on one tiide, and ou the other the shrill voice of "God's whistling messenger of peace" to subdue them: ou both sides a doubling of the worst of human passion anger, made trebly worse by an intermixture of fear. Thus the country will co on, the chasm between the upper and lower classes widening, the conflict getting hotter, un til on some pregnant occasion the policy ot militarism aud suppression will prove insufficient, and then Alacauley's van dals. We know that the Republicans cannot bring back Republican prosper ity, for they cannot restore their own former status. The Republican party was once a greenback party and a free silver party. Corporations were in their babyhood, and the country was com pletely out of debt. Now the Republi can party is pledged 10 a gold standard with all the accompanying evils of falf inir prices and languishing markets. Monopolies, like the huge devil lish, have thruat out their suckers into every corner of production and are drawing away all profit, while the total debt of every kind amounts to two-thirds of the total wealth, making an annual interest greater than the earnings of the people. The Repub lican party cannot steer the sh'i. of state. To preserve itself at ail it must go b Mow and allow the vessel to becoinw erelict and be carried whithersoever the winds and tides may elect. But what will the bramble bush people do? If the situation does not improve, but, on the contrary, gets worse, and ever worse, they will continue to jump. The two last landslides at bottom meant simply unrest, dissatisfaction, sentiments which we think are bound to increase. Will the jumpers continue to shuttle be tweeu the two old piarties, or will they some day soon take a lateral jump and land iu the People's Party. FOUR GONE.

Happy County Prisoners Who Have Been Released 1 rom Jail. Four prisoners were released from the county jail today. William Tyler, the colored counter feiter, who had a sentence of thirty days, had served it out and was released. Harris Trammell, who was in for as sault, was also released.

One More Effort of the State Health Board To Gut Their Fingers on That $3,000 Headed Off Today by Injunction Proceedings. A GREEDY CROWD. Shocking Behavior of the State Board. How The- Laid the Scheme to Get the Money. Injunction proceedings were com menced in the district court this after noon to pirevent Dr. II. A. Dykes, secre tary of the state board of health from getting possession of the celebrated $8,000 balance of the $10,000 cholera fund. At the last meeting of the state execu tive council Dr. Dykes presented his es. timates for the expenses of his board for preventing encroachments of cholera in the state. This estimate called for the expenditure of all of this S,000. The executive council voted to allow the estimates but to the credit of Govern or Lewelling and State Treasurer Riddle they voted against allowing this esti mate, as on a former occasion. When the state executive council has allowed the estimates of the state board of health the law makes it the duty of the state auditor to issue the warrants so that the money can be drawn from tho state treasury. The suit is brought by the State of Kansas on the relation of II. C. Safford, county attorney, against the Kansas State Board of Health, Dr. Stewart, its presi dent, Dr. Dykes, its secretary, the gov ernor, secretary of state, auditor of state, attorney general, treasurer of state aud superintendent of public instruction, as members of the exective council, to re strain them from issuing any warrant for the disbursement of the unexpended portion of the appropriation of if 10.000 to repel any threatened invasion of the state by cholera. The petition recites that the defendants threaten to do so and will do so unless restrained. It also alleges that there is no invasion of the Btate, United States or Western Hemisphere by cholera, and no .threatened invasion, nor has there been at any time since the ap propriation was made. J. G. Waters is associated with County Attorney Safford in the case. Mr. Waters says: "It is understood that of this appro priation $S,000 is yet unexpended. It has been a fund upon which many a vulture glance has been cast, and around which the jackals would like to gather. This is a good suit by Mr. Safford, iu tho interest of good government, aud ia the proverbial ounce of prevention, worth twenty pounds of cure. "In justice to the governor and Mr. Biddle, state treasurer, it should be said that they have opposed and resisted any expenditure of this money from tho start." This case will be argued in the district court next Saturday morning. JOHN A. LOGAN FIGHTS. r. or p. I'liiNcrio.N. Preparation A rr All MaIo lor t t- liame Totliiy. Thenton, N.J., Nov. lu.
