Vi V -v w V 10 CENTS A WEEK. LAW MAKERS MEET. TheKansas Legislature for 1895 in Session. Xo Warlike Scenes Attend This Gathering ot Statesmen. AX ECHO OF THE WAR Heard in the Senate Met. When It Republicans Object to Ben Rich lor Reading Clerk. RUT HE GOES IN For the Populists Stand By Him To a Man. Scenes at the Opening- of House. Hie It Takes a Recess and the Senate Adjourns. The session of the Kansas legislature for 1S95 began promptly at noon today. When the doors of the Republican house caucus opened, the great crowd3 that had been bumping up against the doors of representative hall like break era since early morning, came in in a flood. Blossoming noses were as plenty as if it had been the New York legisla ture, but for the good name of Kansas It is well it can be said it was for external rather than internal reasons. Bunches of women were seated on each side of the speaker's desk, some of whom had remained through the Re publican caucus. Senator McTaggart was taking care of his constitueccy and early seated a young lady in the gallery back of the speaker's desk. The chatter of the page?, comparing the figures of the votes they had received at last night's caucus and telling of what smooth men their papas were to get them all in, made a continual buzz at the clerk's desk. The doors of the public gallery were no sooner opened than they were filled with men who were so evenly divided between the races that it looked like a black and white checker-board, Ihis- was the first time the Republi cans had given the Populists a chance to get into the hall, so persistently had they held caucus, and now they wandered in like sheep in a strange pasture. Mr. iolxlell lintel's. Mr. Lobdell of Lane, the Republican caucus nominee for speaker, came in about twenty minutes before the hour of assembling and was busy receiving the congratulations of outside friends. (itto G. Eckstein, the member from Sedgwick who was elected at a special election to succeed Major Lawrence, was called for at the speaker's desk which served to bring to notice one of the strik ing looking men of the house. He is a broad shouldered, large bodied, straight man, with a very red smooth tace, set off by a pair of gold spectacles which ae wears all the time. Mr. Eckstein speaks with great vigor and his voice has that tone like the sub dued sound of a buzz saw which leaves the impression there is force behind itto carry it through. Anxious and gracious young ladies, who would like to be enrolling clerks, or anything else that miarht be set out on the pie counter, thronged the aisles, but tonholing members and casting pleading looks into their faces. Mr. Benedict, of Wilson county, who was in the lead, in the race for speaker in its early stage, moved nervously about the hall smotting a cigar. Mr. Benedict has been in the house before and doesn't feel at all ill at ease. He has gnzzley gray whiskers, trimmed with no refer ence to any particular pattern, and is "long and lank and lean as is the ribbed sea sand." Secretary Bristow came in a few min utes before 11 o'clock and gave the as sembling members his approving smile. Governor Lewelling, S. II. Snider and Chairman Richardson held a little recep tion at the left of the speaker' desk. The governor appeared just as happy as it he were not going back to his egg cases and butter firkins, but perhaps he was thinking with glee of the long message every Republican member would have to listen to. Justice Horton With His Rible. Chief Justice Horton was present ready to administer the oaths and Secretary of State Osborn was present with the rolls. J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City, who heard the loud shrill whistle of the Lob dell train in time to get off the track, waa moving about with a smile in one eye and no tear in the other.buttonholing members in regard to organization. J. K. Cubbiaon wa9 nominated for tem porary speaker. In this case also there was no other candidate, the Populists evi dently having determined to present none, voting for the Republican candi date, or refraining from voting, as the case may be. The roll call showed 108 votes for Mr. Cubbison, who was escorted to the chair by Lambert of Lvon, Hack buseh of Leavenworth and Meredith of Reno, and took the oath of office. He was introduced by Speaker Lobdell as the "Young man eloquent of Kansas." Mr. Cubbison thanked the house in a few words. To expediate matters Mr. Brown of Crawford moved that the rules be sus pended and Mr. Brown waa elected chief clerk of the house by acclamation. Lou Sears of Shawnee for assistant chief clerk. Tom Jackson of Harvev for journal clerk, Charles S. Mar in of sa line for reading clerk, A. C Jordon of SIGHT EDITION; IKA, KANSAS, TUESDAY Rice county for sergeant-at-arms, Robt. T. Moore of Butler county for door keep er; the other Republican caucus nomi nees were elected in the same manner and were sworn in. Mr. Seaton of Atchison moved that a committee of three be appointed to wait upon the governor and inform him that the house was organized and was ready to receive any communication he might have to make. Seaton of Atchison' Newman of Clay, a PopulUt, Warner of Cherokee, were appointed. C. A. Cox, of C'hanute, was an object of attention and interest to many, be cause he had beaten ex-Speaker Duns more, the Bald Hornet of the Neosho. He is a man somewhat above the me dium height, with a generous girth, and wears a black cinstache and chin whisk ers. At just 5 minutes past 12 Secretary of State Osborn rapped several times with the gavel and the house became still. Rev. J. M. Sullivan, who didn't get to pray for the house aa a regular thing, tnen uttered the opening prayer, lie made his prayer so short that some of the members must have been sorry they didn't vote for him. Secretary Osborn laid the roll of the house before it, and the members-as their names were called in the order of dis tricts, went to the right of the speaker's desk. and lavinsr their hands on the Bible twelve the largest could be accommodated in blocks ot number that took the oath from Chief Justice Horton and kissed the book. Each member received a copy of the oath and signed it at a small desk on the left. The ladies of the gallery back of the speaker, watched every bit of the per formance of oath taking and when the members kissed the Bibie, they thought it waa too funny for anything, as a per ceptible giggle ran through the rows of seats. When the Sixty-seventh district (Sedg wick) was called, Secretary Osboru an nounced that while there was no doubt as to the result of the election of Mr. Eck stein, who was chosen at a special elec tion, it was done in uu irregular way by special consent and his name wouid be passed, allowing the house to settle the legality of the proceeding. swearing on the Bible got too slow be fore all the members were got through with it and that feature was dropped for awhile and resumed at intermittent in tervals until Frank Murphy of Stevens county, the last man ou the list, was called. J. It. Remington Temporary Speaker. When all had been sworn in Mr. Bene dict of Wilson nominated J. B. Reming ton of Miami county for temporary speaker. He was elected by acclama tion and conducted to the chair by Moore of Saline and Goorlno of Bourbon. C. II. Tucker was made temporary secretary by acclamation. J. V. Heekmau of Cowley moved that Otto G. Eckstein be declared the duly elected representative from the Sixty seventh district. It was carried without a dissenting voice. Mr. EGkstein was then sworn in, Lou Sears though not a member of the house was elected assistant to the temporary secretary. On motion of Mr. P. A. Rohrbaugh the house proceeded to the election of per manent officers. Miller of Moiris nominated Charles E. Lobdell. There being no other candi date, the roll was called and .Mr. Lobdell received 113. others not voting. -Wes-srs. Benedict of Wilson, Seaton of Atchison and Sutton of Russell, were appointed a committee to escort liim to the chair. Mr. Lobdell had a brand new Prince Al bert coat, and when introduced made a speech which fitted the occasiou as his coat did him. Speaker Lobdeirs Speech. Mr. Lobdell said: "For this honor I return my sincere thanks and gratitude. To my political associates, I am grateful; of the testimonial of the genllemeu of the opposition, I am deeply sensible. It is a matter of gratification that this as sembly has met under such differeut conditions as contrasted with those of the last. To my duties of speaker, I conse crate my best efforts." The following resolution was effered by Hopkins of Finney and adopted: Resolved, by the house of representa tives of the legislature of the state of Kansas on this 8th day of January, 1895; that we hereby exteWl the congratula tions of our sister state of Missouri and bid it Godspeed in the redemption of the grand state of Missouri from the rule of Bourbouism. By consent it was added to the motion of Mr. Seaton that the chief clerk in form the senate that the "house had or ganized and appointed a committee to wait on the governor. Caucus Nominees Chosen. For chief enrolliug clerk, Mrs. L. C. Hughes of Wyandotte; for docket clerk, C. F. Hostetter of Cloud; for postmis- l tress. Mrs. E. IL Munsev of Shawnee: for chaplain. P. T. Rhodes of Shawnee; 'for assistant postmaster, G. C An j gle of Bourbon; for document I clerk, W. T. Patton; for assistant document clerk, Miss Lulu Fauble of Wyandotte, the caucus nominees. were nominated and elected by suspension of the rules and ffworn in. The following pages selected by the Republican caucus were also elected in the same way: Roy II. Fo3ter, O. A. Clark, Boyd Lambert, WTillard Funk, George Sutter waite, Clarence Sheafor, Elmer Howard and Robert E. Stuart. On motion of Mr. Seaton of Atchison the rules governing the last house were declared to govern the proceedings until others should be adopted by the new house. Mr. Butler of Bourbon moved that the house take a recess until 3 o'clock. The speaker declared tnatthe ayes had it and the house adjourned. IX THE SEXATF, Republicans Assemble Joyously Although They Are In the Minority. In the senate there is not that exuber ance aud buoyancy of spirit that charac terizes the house. All the gladness and smiles appear to be monopolized by the members of the minority. The Populist majority is courteous and considerate, but beneath the surface can be seen the resignation and sadness of those whose days are numbered. The senate chamber looks elegant force of men has been at work since the middle of October polishing the copper, brass and marble finishings. All the woodwork in sight is lately varnished, i and the floor appears to have beeu swept with a tooth-brush. If there is any dust or other unclean thing in the senate chamber it would take a microscope to find it. Senator Solon O. Thacher of Lawrence, and thirty-eight other solons, were in their places when the senate convened at what some delight in calling "high noon." It is probably so-called because at that hour the sun is high, but we must have it. There has been neither resig nation nor death to change the personnel of the senate from what it was two years ago. Considerable regret was expressed at the absence of John M. Price, Repub lican, of Atchison. Mr. Price is ill with an ailment which is both painful and dangerous. There are fears tuat he may never recover. If the worst comes Atch ison will have no senator until late in the session, as Mr. Price's successor would have to be selected at a special election, which requires at least thirty days. The Senate Sets Out. Promptly at "high noon' aforesaid, Lieutenant Governor Percy Daniels rapped three times, and the machinery of the upper house was set in motion. Mr. Daniels hesitated several moments, and began: "Senators of Kansas It is a source of great satisfaction to me to find the same members assembled that responded to the roll call two years ago. I trust you come to work for those who sent you. The people of Kansas expect legislation. In your efforts and labors I trust you will take the part of statesmen and not partisans. Legislative quibbling over great measures and consumption of time for partisan reasons is a form of political corruption, and should be avoided. "I want to see the Populist majoritv and the Republican minority work to gether for wholesome measures. The one of these two sides which does the most to advance the best measures of the other will receive the greater commenda tion. Rev. D. Biddeson, chaplain of the sen ate two years ago, offered a prayer in which he invoked wisdom and divine guidance. Resolution No. 1 was introduced by Senator Dennison, which provided for a committee of live on rules. The resolution was adopted, but the ap pointment of the committee was defer red. Senator L. P. King of Cowley county wan elected president pro tern. The Re publicans nominated Senator Thacher of Douglas, but the vote stood: King 2!Jj Thacher 15. Senator Landis of Barber county of fered a resolution prepared at yesterday's caucus,which provided for all the officers, subordinates and clerks of the senate, as fallows: Do Not Want Ben Rich. Senator Milton Brown of Golden City opposed the resolution making Ben, (J. Rich reading clerk of the senate. He amended by asking to insert the name of' j'A. A. Dunbar, a Cowlev county Populist editor, in the place of Rich. Mr. Brown said the Republicans would except Dun bar with much better gracte than Rich, although they would accept the latter if necessary. The motion to stride but the name of Ben Rich created the first hot discussion of the session. Senator Parker said, "I understand that it was stated in caucus la3t night that -Ben R.ch must be provided for.' If this is the case, I suppose we Republicans can make a place lor him. Senator Dennison replied, "I do not re member seeing you at our caucus; and what you 'understand' regarding it is not proper evidence. I will say I was there and Mr. Rich was discussed only with regard to his fitness." Senator i'hacher said the Populist ma jority had the power and right to select its own officers and if Mr. Rich is satis factory to them he was sure he was to him. For this expression Mr. Thacher was applauded. Senator Wilcoxson said: "I learned long ago that when I had to take a dose of Medicine it was best to take it all at once with good grace. Rich is satisfac tory to me." Senator Milt Brown replied: "I see that I and Mr. VVilcoxson don't belong to the same school of medicine. Vv hen a dose is stuck under my nose I don't have to take it and say it's good. I am told by some member of the other side that the Populist senators will refuse to vote to confirm any of Governor-elect Morrill's appointees. For this reason I am op posed to Rich. Senator Leedy: "Don't cross that bridge before you come to it, Milt." Mr. Brown: "I am not, but I am at the edge of it. I am a Quaker by descent and love peace instead of war when it is pos. sible to have it" Mr. Dennison: "I came up here with molasses in one hand and vinegar in the other, and they can have either one they want." Rich is Triumphant. The resolution to strike out Ben C. Rich's name was lost by the vote of 29 against and 8 for. Senator Sterne voted for Rich in the interest of harmony. The list of officers provided by the suc cessful resolution is as follows: W. L. Brown, secretary; James L. Root, assistant secretary; Ben C Rich, reading clerk; N. N. Boyd, sergeant-at-arms; Solon Gray, assistant sergeat-at-arms; Ed Marshall, second assistant sergeant- '-h3n. at-arms; xtev. j. u. uotKin, lain; V. II. Biddison, docket clerk; Bertha Morris, assistant docket clerk; A. D. Gilpin, journal clerk; Meta .Murphy, Edith Coles and Frank Petit, assistant journal clerks; A. C. Baker, document clerk; R. J.

A resolution was introduced providing for the purchase of three typewriters for use in the senate. Senator Parker said, without a smile: "I rise to inquire whether the gentleman desires gentlemen or lady typewriters?" There was considerable discussion over this measure. Senator McTaggart wanted them rented instead of purchased. Senator Brown thought every member was able to write and those who can't are un able to "play on them," auj-how. Senator Jumper siid he could use a threshing machine to good advantage, but couldn't manipulate a type-writing machine. It was finally explained that the instru ments were wanted for use in the com mittee rooms, and the resolution was adopted unanimouslv. At 1:25 Chief Clerk Frank L. Brown of the house appeared with a message from the house. He announced that the house was organized by the election of Mr. Lobdell, speaker, a6d was ready for busi ness or to receive any message from the 3nate. The officers of the senate provided for above, from secretary to page, were sworn in at 1:30. On motion it was decided that the hours for convening the senate should be 10 o'clock a. m. and 2 p. m. The secretary was authorized to noti fy the house of representatives that the senate was organized and ready for busi ness. Lieutenant Governor Daniels appoint ed 'a committee composed of Senators King, Riley and Scott to wait on the governor and inform him that the beuate was ready to receie his message. The senate then adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. KEPUliLICAN CAUCUS. More Officers Were Nominated By the Morning Session. When the second Republican house caucus was called to order at 11 o'clock this morning Mr. Simons of Sumner made the report from the committee oa the selection of seats. It was that seats be drawn by allot raentV the sergeant at arms placing the names of the counties iu the form of bal lot in a hat and having them drawn therefrom, the choices being in the order of the drawing. Mr. Campbell of Stafford, the leader of the Populists, asked that the Populists be allowed to sit together. Hopkins of Finney wanted to know what was going to be done with the great Democratic party. After considerable discussion the re port of the committee was adopted with the understanding that the request of the Populists be granted. W. G. Patton was unanimously elected document clerk. M iss Lou Fauhle of ,Wyandotte,who was rioiiiiuated for assistant document clerk, was unanimously nominated. Mr. Hopkins of Fiuuey, moved that the caucus adjourn. Wrhile the motion to adjourn was in obeyatice. Mr. Veale of Shawnee, presented a resolution that the chief clerk be allowed to appoint a private clerk and page. The motion waa voted down with loud noes and Shawnee was again sat down on. The motion to adjourn the caucus was then put and carried. jIAJOK HOOD'S Kt'SINESS CAPACITY. How He Visited New York This Week A Remarkably uick Trip. The wonderful capacity of Major Hood for business has just been pointedly shown by his return from New York city this, Tuesday morning, notwith standing the fact that he was here iu Topeka Thursday evening. Although a candidate for the high office of Uuited States senator, he found it imperative to go to JNew lorn city on business matters in which others were largely interested. While most candidates for office under the circumstances would have stayed right on- the ground, Major Hood determ ined to perform his business duty and slip away just before the legislature con vened and be back quickly. The legis lature had not been called to order when he was again at his headquarters iu this city this morning-. He left Topeka Thursday night, ar ranged by wire for all his appointments in New York City, reached the metropolis- Saturday evenintr, finished his business Saturday nisrht. started for home Sunday morniuff and arrived here at half past ten today, bright and active, after a trip of 3,000 miles in a little more than four days. This was Senator Plumb's characteris tic way of doing business and it is Major Hood's. OBJECTED TO SWEARING. Sli Members of the Ueijislature Wouldn't Lay Their Hands On the Bible. When the opening exercises of the house were in progress today and the members were being sworn ia a dozen at a time, six sturdy members, most of them Quakers refused to take the regu lar oatu of office. They told Chief Jus tice Horton they did not want to swear. After the other members had all been sworn in the six objectors were stood up in a row and instead of putting their right hand on the Bible and swearing: to I support the constitution ot the Lnited States and the state of Kansas, eta, "so help me God," they simply "affirmed" that they would do their duty to the best of their ability and honestly before the law. A member of the Topeka bar who was present and witnessed the proceedings said: "Years ago when Judge Horton was United States district attorney, Hib Case used to say that he hated to go into court with him because Horton looked so much like a preacher he could make a jury believe everything he said. Now the truth of Hib's saying was never more evident than today. Horton looked just like a bishop administering the sacra ment as he stood up there swearing in those members." THE GOVERNOR'S BUTTER DEAL, Governor X.ewelling Disposes of 60O Pounds in a Kansas Avenue Restaurant.

To this the governor replied: "If I can sell you any quantity you may have it for 2a ceuta" "Weil," said Steward Hayes, if'your butter is all rigut, and i suppose it is, and as you offer it a cent under the market price, I will take 6j0 pounds.

Major Hudson Confident ot His Strength. A Republican caucus to nominate a state printer has been called for Wednesday evening. Everthing points to tne easy nomination of Major J. K. Hudson, the editor of the leading Republican newspaper of the state, from a partisan standpoint. Major Hudson himself ia very con fident and puts his sure strength at 70 votes, while only 54 are necessary to secure the caucus nomination. Some of the major's enemies have tried to make capital against him bv re ferring to his private business affairs. Attacks of that nature are not likely to have any weight against him. GO A'. JTiNTIRE GOES IX. lie Talks About Irrigation and Coining: of Silver. Denvek, Jan. 8. Gov. Waite went out of office and Gov. Mclntire came .in at noon today. After ex-Gov. Waite had spoken a few words of farewell to his associates and of greeting to his successor, Gov. Mcln tire read his inaugural address. He recommends the use of the inter nal improvement storage reservoirs for irrigation purposes. Legislation is sug gested to require coal companies to pay wages in cash instead of scrip, to stop the sale of real estate on trust deeds without foreclosure, proceedings;. to prevent injustice to debtors under the attachment laws. A general law suggested to permit cities of the first grade to hold representative or constitu tional conventions for framing their charters to be submitted to -the people for confirmation-. or rejection. The gov ernor calls attention to the fact that the present laws are inadequate to suppress gambling in the smaller towns and sug gests legislation with that end in view. On the subject of railways, the gover nor said: "If it be the fact which can be ascertained by investigation that unjust indiscrimination is wilfully practiceu by railway corporations subject to the legis lative comrol of this state, then legisla tion should be enacted to prevent it, and such legislation should be wise, just and effective." The governor pronounced equal suf frage a success. In conclusion, he said: "Wedo not ex pect legislation favorable to silver, be cause it is the money of the constitution, nor because we expect sympathy, or charity from any source, nor because we as producers are- interested in en hancing its value, but because its restoration is absolutely decreed by a natural law of commerce that cannot be disobeyed with the punishment follow ing. The punishment is being inflicted now and will be to me more and more grievous until endurance must cease and bliudness and prejudice, design and sel fishness must all yield to the crushing force of natural laws. This country must submit first because its population aud the consequent great er need of commercial expansion will make the friction of cloeeed ex- i chanees more and more intense. The more acute the trouble the more active the effort to find out the causa The trouble is that exchanges cannot be free ly made, because the final medium is in sufficient in quantity. When this ia known and appreciated by a majority of the people of the United States the only remedy there is, or can be, will be applied, and silver will be restored at a ration of 16 to 1, or per haps 15J to 1, that is, the ratio which their relative quantities in store indicate to be the correct one. With

silver restored and her o her resources developed Colorado people would have an enviable lot. BY LAMP LIGHT. StooDlne Up of the State House Gas Main Hinders the Messages. Somebody stuffed up the gas main at the state house Sunday night, and the governor had to write hia message by lamplight. An investigation revealed a piece of waste in the main. The state house is lighted by the Ex celsior company, and they are very mad about it, and make the somewhat amus ing charge that one of the electric light companies did the trick through jealousy.

NOT SENT TO JAIL. But Kept at the Office as Prisoner Until Direct Orders Come From Judge Woods. Chicago, Jan. 8. Eugene V. Debs, president of the Americau Railway un ion and seven members of the executive committee who were found guilty of contempt by Judge Wooda of the United State court, this morning were currend- ered to the custody of Marshal Arnold and locked up at 10 o'clock in the mar shal's private office. The counsel for the prisoners decided this morning not to contest the case a in further betore the circuit court, but will on Saturday of this week ask the United States supreme court at Washington for a writ of habeas corpus. On this applica tion whether it is granted or not, they will have the right to take an appeal, and on this appeal may secure the liber ation of the prisoners on bail pending a hearing." Acting under the direction of Clerk Burlham, Mr. Pickard, his assistant, is sued orders of committment on which Marshal Arnold, if he feels so disposed, may send the prisoner to jail. The marshal says, however, that he will take no further proceedings until he has direct orders from Judge Woods, to whom he will apply for instructions this afternooni The cumulative sentence imposed on Debs was one year and on the other de- fend-anta six months. THE WORST IS OVER. The Rain. Has Ceased an-i the Ohio River Is Falline. Pittsburg, Jan. 8. At 9 o'clock this morning the stage of the water in the Mouongahela was 25 feet 9 inches and stationary. The river is falling above and it is thought that the highest stage has been reacned. The damage done by the flood has not been nearly as severe as was. expecteil. All the iron mills along tli banks of the Allegheny and the- lonogahebi are un der water and closed, down until the flood recedes. ADJOURN TODAY. The Swine Breeders' Convention Closes Its Seiul-Aniiual Session Today. Thft npmi.annnnl mfttincr rif th Kansas Swine Breeders' association will close its session at the Throop this afternoon. lue session uas ueen an interesting one and about fifty members of the as sociation from different parts of the state -have been in attendance. t tha m ii (it i ii r. tlila mnpninff 1 ri intar. esting paper was read by T. A. Hubbard of Rome, Sumner county, on "General Management of the Herd." Mr. Hub bard is a member of the state board of agriculture. He behaved in feeding milk first, then grass and ground oats. Feed but little corn, says Mr. Hubbard. There should be clean quarters for the swine, warm compartments for winter and plenty of air for summer. Be kind to the boar. Don't mistreat and strike him. Don't misreDresent stock to customers. Aa a preventative for hog cholera Mr. Hub bard uses concentrated lye one-half pound to a barrel of slop fed three times a day. R. S. Cook of Wichita, who captured the blue ribbons at the World's fair hog show, thought that air slacked lime, charcoal and salt were good things to feed. He also read a paper on "Is it advis able to Feed the Best Animals for the Show Ring." He thought it was not and the discussion agreed with him. W. A. Atteberry gave the "History of tne t;nester vvnite. A committee consisting of R. S. Cook, T. A. Hubbard and J. W. Babbitt of Hia watha, was then appointed to attend to the scoring and are at work this after noon. There will be no election of officers at this meeting. Craze Fop Old Masters. Any one who, a few years ago, would have foretold the return in our day of tho traditional American craze for spurious ''old masters" would have been laughed to scorn. It might indeed have been sup posed that the hard lesson that was taught; some rich New Yorkers when, after a few years' proud possession, they sent to auc tion or otherwise tried to "realize on" their "Titians," "Da Vincis," "Correg gioa".,and 'Murillos," would not so soma have been forgotten. But one generation is not apt to learn from the follies of an other, even if the other be only so recent ns the generation immediately preceding it. Everybody knows everything about pic tures today or thinks he does. Bo we find that some of our wistt "art patrons" are Just as much the dupes of the keen witted dealers as their fathers and their grandfathers were before them. The chief difference is that now, reflecting tho fash ions of London and Paris, the rage is for "early English" and old Dutch and Flem ish masters, while formerly it was for the Italian anu Spanish schools. Art Ama teur. Science. "Father," said little Danny Grosan, "why dooze they have the clectriu light wires covered wit' rubber?" "Oi am soorprised at your ignorance." said Mr. Grogan in answer.

STATE JOURNAti, TUESDAY EVE tfl XG, JANUARY 8, 1S95. EIIDORSraRLISLE House Democratic Caucus Stands By His. Currency Bill By a Tote of Eighty-one to Fifty-nine. IT CAN SOT PASS Unless It Wins More Votes in the House. Washington, Jan. 8. By a vote "of 81 to 59 the Democratic house caucus voted yesterday to indorse the Car lisle substitute currency bill now before the house. Speaker Crisp took the lead in presenting the resolution and vigorously urged the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring1 in a rule to-day to close the debate. Efforts to amend Mr. Crisp's resolu tion were voted down, one of the ad verse votes showing' only thirteen members of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire the green backs. The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprehension by friends of the bill notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of in dorsement. The 81 votes which the measure commanded in caucus is far short of the number necessary to pass it in the house. It is the belief, how ever, that many of the -59 votes re corded against the resolution will be changed now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige or the caucus amend me nt. But there were several promi nent leaders who asserted at the close of the caucus that the vote showd conclusively that the bill could not pass. MISSOURI SOLONS.

Mr, Tatum, of St. Louis, moved a resolu tion that a national salute be fired at the capitol at noon, in honor of Jack son's victory at New Orleans, January 8, 1815. The resolution wus adopted. Mr. Bigbee, of Schuyler, introduced a resolution to take up matters per taining1 to a pending1 contest for a seat in the house from Macon county. Thomas A. Still, Republican, con testant; Singleton L. Kasy, Demo crat, contestee. The resolution pre vailed. Upon motion of J. G. YVein hold, of Perry, a resolution that 5,000 copies of the report of the state superintendent of schools be printed was adopted. Mr. 1 Jenkins of Boone submitted, from the curators of the state uni versity at Columbia an invitation to the members of the house to visit that institute in a body. Mr. Jenkins moved, and- Mr. Moore of Mississippi seconded, that the invitation be ac cepted. Mr. Tubbs of Osage made a hot fight against accepting1 the invita tion, and it was declined. Mr. Stickney introduced a bill to regulate salaries of county officials in counties of 45,000 inhabitants and less than 100,000. Mr. Stickney also in troduced a bill to provide for the es tablishment of a reform school for boys in Southwest Missouri At the opening of the senate, Sena tor "Walker introduced a resolution providing for the printing of 250 copies of the rules of the senate, and of the joint rules of the house and senate, which was postponed until the commiteee on joint rules reports. Upon motion for such a committee on joint rules, Senators Drumm, Lyman and McClentic were appointed. At this instant Senator Baskett in troduced the invitation of the cura tors of Columbia, inviting the senate in a body to visit the university. He wanted the invitation accepted. Sen ators Bledsoe, Kennish, Mott and others opposed it. The university at Columbia, as in previous years, gives promise of being a rich subject for wrang-les and discord, and the consid eration of the invitation was post poned. Senator Lancaster submitted a joint and concurrent resolution handed him by a St. Louis woman, that children of 4 years of age be al lowed to attend the kindergarten. He thought 6 years, the present law, too late and i years too early. Thereafter, in rapid succession, twenty-three bills were introduced. Fully a third of them looked to a re duction of criminal costs. A real cyclone of popularity is being enjoyed by Dr. Price's Baking Powder a nong good cooks.

Tbr Thousand TForkinsmea Ask the Government for Aid. St. Johns, N. F., Jan. 8. Yesterday morning a crowd of about 3,000 work ingmen who were thrown out of em ployment "by the -financial collapse, gathered before the legislative cham bers. Later they formed into line and paraded the principal streets. At the head of the procession was borne a white flag bearing the word?: "Work or bread." The movement created consterna tion. At first the police prepared to disperse the crowd, but as their ac tions were peaceful nothing further in this direction was done. After hooting the government the proces sion went to the dry dock where is berthed the British warship Tourma line, which was sent here to preserve order, a committee of the unemployed boarded the ship and represented to Captain. Poore how they and their families were starving. They de clared they were willing to work, but if no work was available they insisted that the government should feed them. They threatened to take the necessaries from the stores. Captain Poore intimated that such attempts would be repressed with a stern hand, his orders being to pre serve the peace and to allow no inter ference with private property. He. however, expressed his willingness to help the workinginen as far as he conld. He promised to write to the government, representing their case, and urging that help be extended, them. He said he would have an answer to-day to his letter and would communicate it to them. With this assurance the delegation withdrew. BARRETT SCOTT MYSTERY. Remains of the Mixsins Treasurer Not Found in a Well. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 8. Attorney General Churchill and Governor Hol comb held two consultations yester day regarding the Barrett Scott mys-, tery. At the first interview it was decided that the attorney general should start for O'Neil at once to be on the ground and take personal charge of the investigation now being made into the famous case. Later it it was agreed that Mr. Churchill should wait until to-day. If no new developments are noted within that time, the state's lawyer will start for Holt county, where he will undertake the preliminary examination of the men now held for conspiracy in the Scott case. The search at O'Neill resulted in the discovery that the old well sup posed to contain Scott's body was empty. Those who think the well was Scott's tomb declare that during the night the lynchers removed the corpse. They anticipated this and urged the sheriff to put a guard there, but he did not think it was necessary. The latest move of the defendants in deciding to waive the examination is not relished by the prosecution, as it is feared before the case can be brought to trial in the district court some of the evidence that is now at band may disappear.

Ave. RICKS' ANSWER. The Ohio Judge Gives Out a Statement Regarding the Charges of Ritchie Against Him. WAS NOT HIS ACT. Ricks Says He Merely Concurred in Judge Lurton's Opinion. Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 8. Judge Augustus J. Ricks arrived from Cleve land last night to sit on the court of appeals. To a reporter he made the following statement: "Some four or five years ago the McMullers brought suit in the United States circuit court at Cleveland upon a judgment which they recov ered in Canada against S. J. Ritchie of Akron, Ohio, for some $M00,000. The record showed personal service on Ritchie in Canada. When sued upon the judgment in the United States court he claimed the right to plead defenses which he should have made in the original suit in Canada. "The case was tried before United States Circuit Judge Jackson, now- of the United States supreme court, and Judge Ricks. The latter wrote the opinion of the court, which was con curred in by Judge Jackson, and in that opinion the court held that the Canada judgment had the same force and effect as the judgment of a court of one of the states of the union, and judgment was given in favor of the McMullers upon the Canada judgment with interest. A writ of error was made from the judgment to the su preme court of the United States, where it is still pending. The court has had it under advisement for years. "In due time the McMullers filed a creditors' bill upon th?ir judgment so obtained, as above stated and made Judge Stevenson Burke, ex-Senator Henry B. Payne, A. P. Mcintosh of Cleveland, and the Cornell estate of Akron, all parties defendant, seeking to reach assets and credits in their hands to be applied to the satisfaction of their judgment. This, case in due time was heard upon its merits by United States Circuit Judge Horace II. Lurtou and Judge Ricks. Judge Lurton took all the papers in the case to his home in Nashville, an' 'after months of careful consideration wrote a very exhaustive opinion deciding the case upon nearly every point against Ritchie. This opinion was concurred in by Judge Ricks, so that in both de cisions rendered in the cases Judge Ricks was fully sustained so far as ha participated in the cases by Judges Jackson and Lurton. If he made any interlocutory or orders and they were complained of they were fully re viewed and covered by Judge Lurton's final opinion on the merits of the case. 'These are the fabts as they will appear from an examination of the records of the courts and further than this Judge Ricks declined to make any statement, deeming the other matters too trivial for notice." Judge Taft read the above and from a knowledge of the case, con curred therein. FIGHT WILL TAKE PLACE. Match Between Corbett and Fitzsim moni to Occcar In September. Atlanta., Ga., Jan. 8. Champion Jim Corbett arrived here yesterday afternoon. When asked if he thought that the fight with Fitzsimmons, which he has signed articles for, would ever take place, said: "Of course it will. The -match has been made, money is up, and the fight must and will come off. I think that it will come off in Jacksonville in September next. There is no law in Florida to prevent it. Governor Mitchell used every means in his power to stop my fight with Mitchell and was unsuccessful. Besides the people of Florida, and Jacksonville especially, are anxious for the fight to take place in that city on. account of the immense nioney which those men will, who go to see it, spend."

The son ran out the back door and was brought down as he was crossing the road, which passed the house. When the murderers left the room to kill her son Mrs. Doll extinguished the lights and concealed herself in the brush near the building. The Mexicans searched an hour for her and were scared off by an approaching wagon. Mrs. Doll walked several miles to the nearest neighbor and gave the alarm.

Lord Charlea Beresford Is an adept art a good many things besides writing articles on the naval union of America and Great Britain. A captain in the royal navy as well as a my lord, he has the reputation of being as willing to fight with a London cabby as any ordinary man would be to challenge an equal to a duel. Neither is be afraid of bobbies, as the London guard ians of the peace are called. One of the popular stories about him runs something like this: He and the Duke of Forterlield were standing on a street corner in Lon don one day when Lord Charles was par ticularly struck with the strutting of a very important bobby across the way. Calling a seedy looking individual, he said, "I'll give you half a crown if you will go over and knock that bobby's bat off." The fellow went across the street and knocked off the hat in a most artistic and inspired manner and then rejoined the two- gentlemen on the pavement. The Irate officer, picking up his cbapeau, crossed close behind him. "Who are your demanded he of the duke. "I am the Duke of Porterfield, and you will find me at (giving his number). "And you?" demanded he of the next one. "Lord Charles Beresford, captain in the queen's navy, and my address is "And you?" said the bobby, grimly turning to the grand executive of the scheme.

Sloaue, to erect a new maternity hospital to connect with the present one and to form a part of it, the whole to be known as the bloane Mater nity hospital. It is estimated that it will ros Mr. Sloane $200,01)0 to carry out his i 1 Men tion. Mrs. Sioaue, who is a sister uf the Vanderbilts. named, agrees to furnish funds for the maintenance of this new hospital, after it is erected, equipped and furnished by her husband. The Vanderbilts specify that their gift is to be used in extending the main medi cal college building and also for enlarg ing the Yanderbilt clinic. The College of Physicians and Surgeons was merged with Columbian callege in 1891. Before that it was nominally its medical de partment. Cornelius Vanderbilt is a trustee of the College of Physicians and Eirgeons as well as of Columbia college. IRRIGATION IN THE EAST. Mr. Willard Thinks New l'orfc Will Have to Come to Jt. Desver, Jan. 8. Samuel D. Willard, a wealthy farmer of Geneva, X. Y., is in the city, returning home from California. He lias been making an extended inves tigation of irrigating systems and of ag ricultural and horticultural methods and has arrived at some decided conclusions. "I believe the time will come when New York will have to adopt the meth ods of water storage used in the west in order to furnish sufficient water to raise crops," said he, "the destruction of the forests will bring about a condition of things in the eastern states so near akin to that in the western states, we shall be glad to study the methods of western farmers and fruitgrowers. I have been making a study of the big systems in California and also of the gen eral subject of agriculture and horticul ture and I expect to put what 1 have learnsd to considerable use in my own neighborhood." Mr. Willard is a candidate for the office of commissioner of agriculture in the state of 2sew York under the new admin istration. LILLIAN RUSSELL'S ENVY. She Objects to Anybody Having Encore But Herself. Xew Yosk, Jan. 8. Rialto gossips find something to talk about in the re cent actions of Lillian Russell. Lillian is a stock subject of comment, to be sure, but there is always something new to say of her. Tha latest is that Miss Rus sell is intensely jealous of the popularity of little Annie Myers, who appears in 'ihe Grand Duchess" in a duet with Hubert Wilke. In Boston Miss Myers was repeatedly encored, but it appears that the leader of the Russell orchestra shook his head and at first declined to perceive that the little ladv had made a hit. Finally, the audience grew obstreper ous and Mr. Wilke and Miss Myers tripped out and forced the weilder of the baton to keep up with the procession. Subsequently it transpired, according to the Rialto version of the story, that Us Russell had issued instructions to the conductor not to recognize au encore in the case of any member of the company save herself, or unless she held ths cen ter of the stage the moment before. KANSAS MAN PARDONED. Gov. Waite Extends Executive Clemency to Charles Keagy. Denver, Jan. 8. Gov. Waite has grant ed a pardon to Charles Keagy. Four years airo Keagy, a teamster in Kansas, found a box containing 10,000. He claims he loaned the money to Alvin K. Fullam of Colorado Springs and took notes in re turn. The notes were afterwards pro nounced a forgery and Keagy arrested and convicted for uttering them and sentenced to prison for twelve years. Evidence came up which led the prison authorities to believe the man innocent. Western hospitality 13 proverbial and the food served is cooked with Dr. Price's Baking Powder. BOSTON SCANDALIZED. An HeireRS Arrested in Company With Her Colored Coachman. New York, Jan. 8. The World prints the following from Boston: Miss Isabella F. Bigelow, who possesses in her own right over f 77,000, today accompanied her colored coachman, Charles H. Har ris, to the Brookline police court, where he was charged with improper relations with her. He was held in 2,000 bail. Miss Bigelow is about 23 years old, and belongs to one of the; leading families in Worcester. She was finely educated and at IS entered society and for years was a leading favorite. On the death of her father, who was a millionaire, she came into her fortune of over $75,0i0, and went immediately to her home, taking with her Harris. She was induced to leave Brookline some time ago, after the birth of a quadroon child. She has just returned and the ar rest was mtde iu order to get her to leave town again. Topeka Orphans' Home. A meeting of the Topeka Orphans' Home association will be held at the To peka Orphans' home Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 2 p. m. E. Hattie Joses, Rec. Sec. TO TAKE MAKTIN'S HOM.E. A Writ to Foreclose a Mortgage on Sena tor Martin's Homestead filed. A suit was filed this morning in the United States circuit court to foreclose a mortgage on the homestead of senator John Martin, which is located on the southwest corner of .Eighth and Harrison streets. There are nine lots in the homestead and it is known as one of the finest residence properties in the city. The mortgage is for only $6,000 and the property is worth about four times that amount and the forecloseure case will probably be settled before it comes to trial. It is known among Senator Martin's friends that he has been rather hard pressed financially for some time, and he at one time allowed his homestead to be sold for taxes. A prominent Topeka Democrat said today: "There is no doubt that Senator Martin has spent a great deal more money than he has taken in during his term as senator?" THE DOMINION'S A. P. At The Organization Cuts a Wide Swath in the Canadian Elections. Toronto, Jan. 8 Interest in the mu nicipal elections held throughout the province of Ontario yesterday was prin cipally local. The Protestant Protective association, an organization similar to the A. P. A. in American politics is very strong iu some parts of the province and had several candidate in the field who were elected. In other districts the P. P. A. casts its strength with the candidate whom they think most favorable to their views. As between a conservative and liberal nominee the former generally secured the P. P. A. vote. In Toro.ito there was a split in the P. P. A., and as a result Major Kennedy, who was the P. P. A. candidate last year, when he had a majority of 4,500 votes, was returned over ex-Mayor Fleming today by only 24 votes. In Hamilton, A. Wadsworth, the P. P. A. candidate, was elected mayor.

The Next Republican National Convention May Be Held There. New York, Jan. 8. A movement is on foot to have the next Republican national convention held in New York city. This is in the interest of an eastern cand'date for the presidency, and the fact that Joseph H. Manley of Maine is interested in the project would seem to argue that Tom Reed is the man whose chances are to be promoted by holding the conven tion in the metropolis. General Harrison's declaration that he is not an avowed candidate for second term in the White House seems to have been well re ceived in the higher councils of his party, and by several of the national committeemen he is no longer counted as a factor in the race. The nomination is said to lie, at this distance, between Reed and AlcKinley, and the Ohioan s friends in the national committeee are probablv in the minority. At all events. it is so stated by a member of that com mittee, who is identified with the Reed movement. Almost, if not quite, a majoritv of the members of the national Republican committee are said to be committed to holding the convention at the Madison Square garden, in tnis city. Keed s friends are delighted with the scheme, and believe that it will materially aid the portly ex-speaker in his canvass. POULTRY RAISERS. A Very Creditablo Show by the State Association.

Mr. Harry Overholt will not be assist ant state treasurer after all, aituough his appointment was so announced by State Treasurer Otis L. Atherton several weeks ago. M r. Atherton has reconsidered his plans and Mr. George Seward, who hn9 been the assistant state treasurer during the last two years and who was a clerk in the office under the last Republican administration, is to keep his present position, which pays a salary of $l,7u0 a year, and is the best assistant job in the state house. Treasurer Atherton did not want to talk about the matter, but when pressed for the truth about the affair he said to a Statk Journal reporter: "By a mutual agreement between the help in my office, Mr. George Seward is to stay as assistant treasurer, temporarily, and Harry Over holt is to have a place in the office as bond clerk. Mr. Ferguson, who was to have been bond clerk,,, is to be my private secretary and stenog rapher, but in i ad you this is only to be temporary." The position of bond clerk pays $1,200 a year and the treasurer is allowed $50 a month for his stenographer. HILLMON CASE POSTPONED. It Will Be Taken I'p To-Morrow at IO a. m.

That is the Day Fixed for Action on Currency Bill. The Proposed Change in the Leavenworth Prison STRONGLY. OPPOSED By Mr. Broderick of the First Kansas District. The Pooling Bill Considered By the Senate. Washington, Jan. 8. The committee on rules of the bouse met today with a view of carrying out the instructions of the Democratic caucus to frame a rule closing the currency debate. A general understanding was reached that ;he rule3 should fix the final vote for Friday next.' The resolution fixing Friday as the day for the vote, after some debate, was adopted 156 to 125. The debate on the currency bill being resumed, Mr. Beltzuoover (Dem. Pa.) gave notice of amendment. M embers flocked around Mr. Sibley (Dem. Pa.) when he began a character istic address against the bill. He was applauded when he said: "If ever a rebuke was needed to one who has attempted to tram ple down the prerogatives of the people it is needed for him who has at tempted to usurp this entire government to himself. The time has come when there should be something more than brains, belly and brass to this govern ment "Four days after the repeal of the Sherman act, members had told him that they had been promised revenue collec torships if they would vote for repeal." "Every man is the guardian of his own conscience," declared Mr. Sibley. "Already the padlocks have been on my lips too long and I intend to throw them off." "When were the padlocks put on your lips?" interjected Mr. Outhwaite (Dem., -Ohio). Ihere was great confusion and excite meut following the question. "I have not thrown them off before," contiuued Mr. Sibley, "because I hoped to see the administration redeem its prom ises, and I did not wish to utter a rebuke when there was hope of honest perform ance." Mr. Outhwaite had pushed forward and again uttered the question: "Who put the padlock on your lips?" Mr. Mbley hesitated for a moment and then with increased earnestness said: "Let me tell the gentleman that I am talking today with men who believe in going to hell in a hand cart instead of to Heaven supported by truth. Let me tell him also that I am not addressing men who be lieve more in a bob-tail flush than in a contrite heart." A shout of applause and laughter greeted the statement. MILTON RELEASED. He and His Wife Didn't Seem to Know Anything Abont the Murder. Sam Milton, who was arrested with his wife at the order of Chief of Police Lindsey Saturday for complicity in the murder of Mrs. Matson, was released to day at Lindsey's order from the county jail. "He was held more under surveillance than under arrest," said Chief Lindsey today. "We have done all we know how to get something out of him in regard to the murder but he either doesn't knew anything or else he is capable of keep ing it mighty close. I don't think he will leave town, though." Approved by the best cooks in the old world and the new, Dr. Price's Baking powder. NOTHING WILL BE DONE, So Says Senator Vest, in Speaking of the Action by the Senate. Washington, Jan. 8. Senator Vest, when asked about the story published in some of the morning papers that a compromise bill had been agreed upon in the senate, said: "It ii all rot. 1 suppose you mean the stuff about a financial measure to be offered in the senate by certain Democratic senators. J here is noth ing in it r urthermore, m my opinion there is no possibility of passing ?.ny financial bill in the senate. We have no rules and five senators can prevent action on any bill during this session. Ihe only hope for prompt and ethcient action was in the .Democrat ic party, and we failed at the outset of the session. Instead of changing the sen ate rules so as to provide for stopping de bate and then resolutely taking up the financial question and the tariff bills from the house, the Democratic caucus of the senate deliberately refused to do 1 anything of the kind. "As matters now are in the senate nothing vjill be done except by unani mous consent. If the yeas and nays could be called on taking off the differ ential duties of one-tenth and one-eighth on sugar, the majority would be for the removal." WARMER AND FAIR. Mr. Jennings Makes Another Pleasant Ouess on the Weather. If Mr. Jennings doesn't miss his guess again it will be warmer tomorrow and fair. The temperature this morning was one degree above zero in Topeka. At Oma ha it was six below aud at bt. Paul 12 be low. A high barometer is moving across the country to the southeast and is central at Omaha today. A cold wave is central across Kansas and Iowa. There has been no snow today and it is generally very fair. Yesterday there was snow in Colorado and a very heavy rain nearly three inches in Arkansas. The temperature according to Mr. Jen nings, tais afternoon is 17 degress above zero. A thermometer on the street reg isters 8, but the sun is shining on that one. Rock Island Playing Cards.

In as much aa we are to have Ben Rich, with us again, he ought to be placed under bonds to keep the peace. Henry Clews, thinks all the country needs is a law permitting bonds to be sold at 3 per cent. All roads out of the wilderness lead to bonds according to the view of the eastern financier. Congressman Brodkiuck is reported as saying that he never saw as ignorant a set of men aa the present national house of reprentatives. The country is ready to endorse Mr. Broderick'a position As an illustration of the evils of the fee system, Wyandotte county has just paid a bill of costs amounting to $7,977.60 for one murder trial. The claim in the case amounted to over $12,000, but the auditor cut it down. The Atchison Champion says: "The inside history of the legislative commit tee and enrolling clerk business in Kan sas for the past fifteen years would ere n' t a sensation by the side of which the Breckinridge-Pollard scandal would pa'o into insignificance." In the Democratic house caucus yes terday, eighty-nine votes were the mot the administration currency bill coul d command. The Democratic party doesn't seem to want it; it ia certain the people at large do not want it; so it appears that nobody wants it unless it be a few bank ers and Mr. Carlisle. The Coxey demonstration of last year waa thrown into insignificance in New Fonndland yesterday when 3,000 idle workmen paraded the streets of St John's demanding work or bread. As ia always true this is all the result of a bad system of finance. The financiers tried to make one dollar in money support four dollars in promises to pay. Globe Democrat: Newfoundland's an garanteed bank notes circulating: among the people are now but so much waste paper, and in order to meet current ex penses the authorities are issuing promis sory notes, which the stores take in trade at 20 per cent discount The postofSce cannot issue money orders, and general business throughout the island ia carried oa by the primitive system of barter. Workingmen are paid in provisions, and are glad to find employment on these terms. Such a public calamity ought to be a warning to Secietary Carlisle, but he is still for state banks and a currency without the present absolute government guarantee. It appears that Rev. T. De Witt Tal mage, since the burning of the taber nacle, ha decided to bus; himself in the matter of saving bodies as well as souls, and in furtherance of this idea has been soliciting aid for the people of western Kansas. This is the first intimation that we, who live here, have had that the peo ple in the western part of the state needed assistance that they could not procure at home. Mr. Taimaga could perhaps find all the work of that kind he may desire much nearer home. The im pression has gained a foothold here in the west that there is a large number of people in New York city who fall far short of having enough to eat K AH HAS PARAGRAPHS.

A Strong Endorsement of Major Hood's Qualifications. THE WELSH PEOPLE OF KANSAS Pronounced in Their Opinion That Major Hood ia the night San for (Senator. The Welsh people of the state include many of the foremost business men and farmers in Kansas. They take the live liest interest in the practical conduct of the government They realize the deplorable condition in which this country's finances and bus iness affairs have been placed and believe the election of such men as Major Hood to the senate is most important for a new prosperity. The following letter has been issued to the Welsh people generally and is signed by representative men of Emporia and Lyon county, who mean just what they say: The undersigned, representing one of the largest Welsh communities in Kan sas, having known Major Hood for many years, desire, briefly, to impress you not only with his many excellept qualifica tions as a man, a neighbor and a citizen, but also his ability and especial qualifi cations for the position of United States senator, to which place, by the urgent solicitation of his friends in various parts of the state he has consented to become a candidate. We respectfully invite your co-operation in his election, because we believe he is the best equipped man for the duties of the position that has yet been men tioned. No one will doubt or question his ability or integrity, and all who know him will concede that he is especially fitted by. education and years of experience in business and financial circles, to render important service to thj state and country in the proper adjustment and settlement of those questions having for their object the greater prosperity of the people. We believe no man could be chosen United States senator from Kansas who would make a more efficient and successful senator, or who could do the state more good than Major Hood. lie is a clean and successful financier, a man of fine address, possessing superior qualifications for the work to be done. The country is in a deplorable condi tion financially, with a deficit of about $80,000,000 annually. Laws will have to be enacted providing for a sound but liberal financial system and for adjust ing the revenues to meet the necessary expenditures. We have no man in the state better fitted to aid in the settlement of these questions than Major Hood. Aside from the country at large, no man would do' the state more good through the various departments of the government than Major Hood. No man would be more efficient in ob taining recognition for a fair proportion of our citizens in the government service than Major Hood. Believing that in every way the inter ests of nation and the state would be best promoted by his election, we re spectfully ask that you join with his fel low citizens in Emporia and other parts of the state in securing the election of Major Calvin Hood for United States senator: L.

Where Money Could Be Spent to Advan tage, Says Secretary Adams. In the biennial report of the State His torical society, t-ecretary F. G. Adams makes a request for more room. He states some of the many needs of the so ciety in the closing paragraphs, which read as follows: "At our present rate of increase, all the room of two floors of one of the wings of the capitol building will be required to answer the needs ol our society within the next five years. A conference with the state architect on this sub ject has led to the opinion that in view of existing plans for the completion and occupancy of the capitol building, and in view of assign ment of room already made and contem plated, provision for the historical society can best be made in the east wing, the two main floors being given for that ob ject The rosms on those floors, as now understood, will be mainly, or wholly, va cated by the departments now occupying them by their removal into other portions of the building. "Our society has calls for present legis lative action to supply its urgent needs as follows: Provision for permanent rooms in the completed capitol building, additional temporary room, increased funds for the purchase of books, addi tional appropriation for clerk hire, and provision for present printing needs. Our clerical workers always industri ous, skillful and faithful have never been adequately paid. Some of them should have increased salaries. And there is an imperative demand for an ad ditional clerk.

Washington, Jan. 8. There is one consideration which has not so far been taken into account which may influence the Republican and Populist senators to come together in the organization of the next senate, and that is the effect that such a combination, or the failure to make it, the opportunity being presented, would have upon the two parties in the southern states. The Populists claim that in addition to Senators Peffer, Allen, Kyle and Stew art, the avowed Populists now Bitting in the senate, Senator Jones of Nevada, will certainly act with them a3 will Senators Irby and Tillman of South Carolina, and Mr." Butler of North Carolina, giving them a representation of eight senators after .March 4. A great many Republican senators dis parage the idea of any reorganization, and many who are not averse to it con tend that an agreement between the Re publicans and Democrats is more nat ural than a combination of Republicans and Populists.

Chicago representa tives of the two biggest plate glass com panies in the United States have received notice that the price had been advanced 20 per cent, the figures going back to those fixed October 27, but which were subsequently cut on account of a dis agreement at a meeting held by the companies' representatives at Cleveland, December 20. The reinstatement of the price seems to indicate that the plate glass companies have come to an agreement and presages the purchase by the Pittsburg Plate Glass company of all the other plants in the United States and the formation of a plate glass monopoly. In fact some of the Chicago jobbers were willing to say that they "thought the purchase was al ready made. Rock Island Playing Cards. No. 601 Kans.

THE COLOKEL'S EXPERIENCED EYE Detected the Heunr and Heded It 1T Other Sew of the lay. Col. George W. Veale should be given the credit for the first work along the line of genuine "reform" in this legisla ture. It was in the Republican house caucui last night that Mr. John G. Johnson of Garnett, offered a resolution giving Frank L. Brown, his fellow townsman, who was at the afternoon session elected chief clerk, full power to appoint such assistants as he saw fit, as might be ap proved by the committee on house em ployes. CoL Veale was not to be caught nap ping. He had been there before and knew that such a resolution would en able the chief clerk to put any number of people on the pay roll whether they were actually needed by the house or not. After a half dozen members had talked on the resolution, Col. Veale called at tention to what the resolution really meant, and moved to lay it on the table, and on the table it went. The caucus had already elected most of the necessary assistants, and it then proceeded to elect a docket clerk, PROF. SNOW SATS BE LIBERAL. Money That Would Sot Come Amiss to the State University. In the ninth biennial report of the re gents and officers of the State university, Chancellor Snow makes a plea to the legislature for liberal appropriations for the leading state institution of learning. In concluding his report, he gives a Bummary of the needs of the university, in which bt says: "The university is hard pressed from lack of funds for current expenses in every department, and from lack of at least six new buildings. "To provide for current expenses, two methods are available: Either by increas ing the present 75,uOO per annum to $luO,000 per annum, which would make a comfortable provision for about five years, or by an annual tax on the grand assessment roll of the state sufficient to supply not only the present requirements, but also the future requirements, as the product of such tax would increase with the increase of the state valuation. The state valuation and the university would presumably in crease with approximate equality, and it would not be necessary to apply to the legislature for more liberal appropria tions from time to time to meet the cur rent expenses! An annual university tax of three-tenths of a mill would now bring in the desired 100,000. This would in volve an outlay of only 30 cents by each property owner with a taxable assess ment of $1,(W0. The Nebraska State University has an annual tax levy of three-eights of a milL Surely Kansas will be as liberal to her university as her sister on the north. "The buildings needed by the univer sity for immediate use are, a chemistry building, engineering shops, museum building for Prof. Dyche's collection, astronomical observatory, fine arts and woman's dormitory. In the eight years during which the state of Kansas has erected but one building for her univer sity, the state of Minnesota has erected seventeen buildings for her university. Let Kansas make an approximately equal provision for her highest educa tional institution. Kingman, J. W. Richards of Pottawato mie, Hostetter of Cloud were nominated. The first ballot resulted: Gillette 81; Hostetter. 36; Richards 20; second ballot; Gillette, 3J; Hostetter, 48; Richards 20. Mr. Hostetter was declared elected. Mr. Se.iton of Atchison offered a reso lution providing for the nomination of a temporary speaker, and for assembling at 11:45 to prevent the occurrence of such a contingency as happened two years ago, when the secretary of state refused to deliver the roll of the house because It had no presiding officer. The resolu tion was adopted, and J. B. Remington was nominated by acclamation. By resolution offered by Mr. Cubbison a caucus on state printer was called for Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. For chaplain, J. M. Sullivan of Doug las, John Underwood of Riley, H. D. Fisher'of .Pottawatomie, John A. Bright of Shawnee, Elisha Clark of Dickinson, J. W. Bailey, and P. T. Rhodes were named. McCown Hunt of Leavenworth said he had aim st pledged himself not to men tion the house of '93, but he took great pleasure in nominating his friend John Seaton of Atchison. This caused a hearty laugh from the members who knew Mr. Seaton, who said with good humor that he would accept the nomi nation. Rev. P. T. Rhodes was elected on the third ballot by 57 votes, to 24 for Sulli van, 5 for Bright and 2 for Bailey. For postmaster, F. R. French of Kear ney county, B. II. Bunn of Rush county, Mrs. E. II.

The caucus adjourned until 8 o clock. Immediately after the evening session of the caucus ,was called to order Bob Moor was nominated for doorkeeper by acclamation. For chief enrolling clerk Mrs. C. Brown of Hamilton county, Mrs. L. C. Hughes of Wyandotte and Miss Annie L. bwayze of Leavenworth were nomi nated. The first ballot resulted- Mrs. Brown, 7; Miss Swayze, 29; Mrs. Hughes 49. Mrs. Hughes having a majority was declared elected. A resolution made by Johnson of Anderson to give the chief clerk power to appoint such assistants as he needed, subject to the approval of the house committee on employes was laid upon the table. For docket clerk Omar Gillette of Shawnee and Leavenworth Fail to Provide For Miss Swayze. The friends of Miss Annie L. Swayze of Leavenworth, who was beaten for the position of chief enrolling clerk in the Republican caucus, were anxious that she be not wholly left out At last night's caucus, therefore, after all the offices except the pages and the assistant postmaster had been elect ed, CoL Veale called attention to the fact that no engrossing clerk had been nominated. Shawnee and Leavenworth counties had been working hand in hand for Miss Swayze, and this was the opportunity to provide for her. Mr. Hunt of Leaven worth, therefore nominated her for the place. Everything seemed ready for her to be put in easy, when Mr. Hopkins of Finney, called attention to the fact that this work had always been done in the secretary of state's office and there was no necessity for an engrossing clerk.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, the leading Republican paper of western Pennsyl vania, publishes a letter from Justices. II. Allen of this state and a reply to it that will interest a number of our Kansas readers. The following is the editorial in the Dispatch: "From a member of the Bupreme court of Kansas comes a request for The Dis patch s opinions on the following very large questions: lo tne tuitor ot ine Dispatcft: Dear-Sir: Will you please favor tbe public through your columns with your views on tli following questions: 1. Are tne existing concentrations of vast wealth in the hands of individuals either unjust or detrimental to the public welfare? If you answer ves. wnat remedy uo you propose' How much is annually paid to citizens of foreign countries for interest, dividends, rents and profits on investments in the United States? 111 tUU IULilLU WCSl l I LMUICA UJ ail Increasa or reduction of this annual payment'.' How would you lrintr about the ciiaiiKeyou favor? Very respectfully yours. ti. a. ALLIX. Topeka. Kansas, Jan. 1, 189;". The Dispatch regards the vast major ity of cases of concentration of wealth as founded not only in injustice, but in the nullification of the Democratic prin ciples of law that have been well estab Iiihed in our jurisprudence. The crea tion of fortunes by favoritism in railway rates, by the formation of trusts and pools, by manipulation of great corpora tions on the inside, by stock watering and freeze-outs, is equally injurious to the common people and violative of the fundamental principles of law. We be lieve with Daniel Webster in the Democracy of property as well as the Democracy of political rights, and that the latter cannot long exist with out the former. As to the remedy, that subject might well occupy a volume, but since nineteen-twentieths of these great fortuues are rooted in the nullification of the principles of our laws, it would be a very hopeful experiment to educate the people to the importance of maintaining the law, instead of letting th6m be nulli fied, and before adding to the store of dead letter legislation. As to the question of how much is an nually paid to citizens of foreign coun tries for interest, dividends, etc., on in- J vestments in this country, there is no sta tistical means of obtaining even au ap proximation.

YAWPING MANIACS Make tlie Bedwell Asylum a Sulsance and Injure the Value of Property. The people living in the vicinity of Bedwell'a private asylum in North To peka have started another "war" on that institution. Late yesterday afternoon Geo. Kim merlo, Miss Mary Kimmerle, Mrs. R. Payne and Mr3. E. Colvin appeared he fore the committee of health of the city council and asked that some action be iaken to have the place suppressed. "What can we do?" said Mrs. Colvin, who is a sister of Congressman Curtis. "We have our property there and can not move away and bo we have to put up with this asy lum. Last summer they had a woman there who would shout all night and more than once I have not gone to bed because her cries would keep me awake. The men are turned loose in the yard and they shout to people who are passing1 and annoy everyone in the neighborhood. We have no recourse ex cept from the council and 1 hope that you will take steps to abate this nuis ance." .VI rs. Payne said that she had been driven away from the neighborhood by the asylum and could get no renters for houses on account of it. Mr. Kimmerle said that something had to be done for his wife would no longer stay in the house alone even in day time and that when any of them stepped out side the door they were insulted by the inmates. The committee decided to recommend that an ordinance be passed declaring the place a nuisance and such an ordi nance was presented to the council last night. County Commissioner J. Lee Knight defended the asylum and the attorney asked that action on the ordinance be postponed and this was done. It is very clear, howevea:, from all the evidence jffered, as well as from the general rep utation of the place which is notorious ill over that part of North Topeka, that .he asylum is a nuisance. There is a remedy through the courts for this mat ter, but if the council will proceed against it, it "will probably save the peo ple in that part of the city the cost of lit igation. Besides, when the matter is taken to the courts, there is no telling when it will be settled. People who don't want things settled generally go to court; those who do, keep away.

WOMEN AT ATLANTA. THE SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION WILL CONVENE THERE THIS YEAR. Though the Movement Seems to Have Gained Ground In Certain Quarters, 3io Stars Have Been Added to the Suffrage Has Since the Last Convention. The convention of the National Wo man's Suffrage association to be held in Atlanta from Jan. 31 to Feb. 5 will be not nntinged with sadness. The dele gates will be hanpy indeed in meeting together again and will have some prog ress to report, but their happiness will be somewhat tempered by the fact that much less of progress has been made since the last convention than was ex pected, for no new stars have been add ed to the suffrage flag. The voters of Kansas rejected the equal suffrage prop osition, and the constitutional eonven- STTSAN B. ANTHONY. tion of New York declared against even submitting it to the people. What is worse, it is feared in some quarters that the action in New York was more than merely negative. It was of such a nature as to perhaps delay all possibility of the suffragists winning in the Empire State for yet another term of years. On the other hand, the record of the year just past is not altogether disheart ening. The right to vote was generally exercised for the first time at the last election by the women of Colorado, and, according to the reports, with as much intelligence at least as that displayed by the men. In Illinois also tho women voted for the first time, though only for one state officer, and as intelligently as did their sisters of full suffrage privi leges in Wyoming and Colorado, and wherever they are entitled to a voice in school matters women have turned out in force during the past year at the polls. Mis3 Anthony,-Mrs Stanton, Mrs. Blake and the remainder of the old guard, who will meet at Atlanta this year, will therefore be able to congratulate one an other because some forward steps have been taken. It is doubtful if even Miss Anthony dreamed, when, as a young girl, she stood up, more than 40 years ago, on the floor of the New York State Teach ers' association convention at Rochester and demanded for the women of that gathering the right to take part in its deliberations, that she would live to see women in possession of equal citizen ship anywhere. But there is no doubt that when Wyoming conferred the suf frage on women she looked for a rapid spread- of the same liberal policy throughout the United States. The hope lessness of the case apparent in iler youth had then changed to rose colored prospects of success, though subsequent events have not fully justified her an ticipations, and the great majority of the states are as they were twoscore years ago the men only are citizens and wom en are not yet admitted to voting privi leges. It has been Miss Anthony's chief hope, during the last decade and a half, that she might live to witness the con ferring of the suffrage upon the women of her own state, New York. In 1880 it seemed to her and her coworkers that the hour of their victory was nigh, for they had the promise of a majority of tha votes in the assembly for the suffrage measure then up. But the promises were not fulfilled and after 1880 it was not until 1894 that Miss Anthony again be came hopeful. It did seem to her, how ever, during last spring and the early part of the following summer that there were grounds for believing the end to be in sight, as for the first time in the history of the movement that conserva tive element, the society woman, took up the cause. No one who reads the newspapers will forget the delighted surprise with which the veteran suffragists welcomed the EEV. AKNA HOWARD SHAW, D. D. fashionable sisterhood to their ranks nor how tactfully and often at great violence to their own personal prefer ences these same veterans left the con duct of the campaign in the city of New York and other Empire State towns to the society women. It is undoubtedly true that the suffragists in New York, both the old hands and the raw recruits, confidently expected success in the con stitutional convention in spite of the counter meeting held by some women Who did not waat to vote. The conven tion had onlv to eive the word for the I submission of the matter to the people 4Mb y7ZS VA .V- at the fall elections, and it was believed that President Joseph Choate, the cul tured and brilliant leader of the New York bar, would throw his immense in fluence on the suffrage side of bal ance. But, alas and alack 1 shortlyUfter the opening of the convention Mr. Choate expressed himself as decidedly against woman suffrage, and a substan tial majority of the delegates followed his lead, defeating the proposition, so far as a constitutional amendment is con cerned, for another 20 years. In spite'of the fact that she is yet vigorous in mind and spirit for one of her years, Susan B. Anthony can hardly hope to live to sea another constitutional convention in the state of New York. One of the most interesting of the many bright and clever women to be present at the Atlanta convention is the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, D. D., of Philadelphia. Dr. Shaw is almost exact ly such a woman in real life as was pre figured in fiction by "George Eliot" when she portrayed Dinah, the woman preacher, one of the characters in "Adam Bede. Like Dinah, Dr. Shaw gave up friends and the pleasures of this world for the pulpit, and she has had a very successful career in the clerical profession. She is a woman of wide and deep culture, for when she was gradu ated by the Boston university some years ago she received diplomas not only from the theological department, but also from the departments of law and medicine as well. Two years ago this month she was a guest at the din ner of the "Pilgrim Mothers" in New York and then and there replied to one of the toasts in a manner that captivated her cultivated fellow diners. She is "vice president at large" of the associ ation and a fine specimen of the best type of the younger "new women." Of course Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Ellen Battle Dietrick, Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Mrs. Rachel Forster Avery, Mrs. Josephine K. Heney, and most of the others who have born the brunt of the battle, lo, these many years will also be present, and from Kansas there should be a delegation of very respectable num bers, for it is understood that the wom en there mean to continue the fight with all vigor. Wyoming and Colorado should not be less forward, but it is possible that, having won the battle for them selves, the women of those two states may stay away. It -would bo strange, however, if the convention should meet without Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi of New York, who gives as the reason for being a suf fragist that she "has a logical mind." Dr. Jacobi is past 50, is sometimes spo ken of as more abrupt than suave in her speech and manner, and for many years has been the best known woman physi- MRS. MART PUTNAM JACOBI, M. D. cian in America, eminent as are some of her sisters who have devoted their lives and talents to the healing art. Dur ing the sessions of New York's constitu tional convention last year she labored with great persistence before that body and made one address upon its floor that won general attention, even from her opponents, as a well reasoned argument and one in which misrepresentation and extravagant statements had no place. Although she is an American in the best sense of the term, she is not a native of this country, having been born in Lon don. Her father, however, was George P. Putnam, the American publisher. She came to the United States early in life and when but a young girl entered the Woman's Medical college in Phila delphia. After her graduation there, she studied at the College of Pharmacy in New York, being the first woman gradu ated, and then went to Paris, where she managed to secure admission to the med ical schools of the French capital, after much opposition, and only because she was heartily indorsed by United States Minister Washburn. Her valedictory thesis, delivered upon graduation, in 1871 won great commendation, and for it she received a silver medal while vari ous other honors were showered upon her. Her husband, Dr. Abraham Jacobi, was a German political refugee, settled in New York, where they were married in 1 873. He is now a man of great emi nence in his profession, as is shown by the fact that he was chosen to head the American delegation to the recent inter national medical congress. If the speeches made at the last din ner of the Pilgrim Mothers in New York be an indication of the feeling on the part of the suffragists toward Joseph Choate, that gentleman will probably be bandied without gloves at Atlanta. Nearly every speaker referred to Mr. Choate in a more or less sarcastic or critical manner, and Mrs. Stanton went so far as to recite some disparaging rhymes about him and his action as pres ident of the convention. Naturally among the chief features of the work to be done at the coming convention will be' the laying out of a future programme, and if it is possible to devise any scheme for making the year 1895 and those that follow interesting to Mr. Choate it will no doubt be brought forward and in dorsed.

The Case of Colonel Coit anil Sheriff Cook Reing Investigated. Washington Courthouse. O., Jan. 8. The Fayette county grand jury is now hearing the evidence bearine upon the so calied riot of October 17, 1894, when the troops, called out by fcheriff Jamea F. Cook to protect William Dolby, the negro rapist, killed five citizens and wounded twenty others. The coroner's verdict declared the killing unjustifiable, i and placed the responsibility upon Sheriff Cook and CoL A. B. Coit of j Columbus, commander of the troops. It was the general- belief here that j Cook and Coit would be indicted for murder or manslaughter, but that iui pr?9sion has been somewhat dissipated since the names of the grand jurors were made public. The findings will not be published until Wednesday or Thursday. "Westward the Star of Empire takes i its way." All over the country Dr. Price 8 Baking Powder leads. The End of 3uoks. It has been pointed out by M. Delisle, librarian of the Biblotheque Nationale, that paper is now made of such inferior materials that it will soon rot, and very few of the books now published have the chance of a long life. The books of the present day will all have fallen to pieces before the middle of the next century. The genuine linen rag paper was really calculated to last, and even the oldest books printed on it, if kept with due care, show very little of the effect of time, but the wood pulp paper now largely used,' in the making of which powerful acids have been em ployed, is so flimsy that the very ink corrodes it, and time alone, with the most careful handling, will bring on rapid decay. Perhaps from one point of view this is not altogether an unalloyed misxor tune. Only remnants of present day lit erature will survive for the information of future generations, and great nation al collections, such as that in the Brit ish museum library, formed at great expense and intended to be complete and permanent, will offer to the literary historian of, say, the twenty -first cen tury but a heterogeneous mass of rub bish, physical laws thus consigning to oblivion a literature of which but a tithe is intellectually worthy to survive. The paper maker thus unwittingly assumes tha function of the great lit erary censor of tho age. His criticism is mainly destructive, and it is too se vere. Without the power of selective appreciation he condemns to destruction good and bad alike. All the Year Round. Funerals In Colonial Maryland, Funerals were expensive. The hears ing and inearthing of a person of qual ity in the middle of the eighteenth cen tury was a proceeding commonly char acterized by features eminently sociaL if not convivial. For the obsequies of a gentleman of Baltimore inlSS the "outfit" called for a coffin at 6 16s.; 4 yards of crape at 7 3s. 6d. 23 yards of black tiffany, 4 16s.; 5 yards of broadcloth, G lis. 3d.; 1 yards oil black shalloon, 19s. 3d.; 6 yards of linen, 1 13s.; 3 dozen pairs of men's black silk gloves, 5 8s. a dozen pairs of women's black silk gloves, 3 12s. black silk handkerchiefs, calamanco, mohair and buckram ribbon, besides 47J. pounds of loaf sugar, 14 dozen eggs, 10 dozen nutmegs, 13a pounds of allspice, 20 gallons of white wine, 13 bottles of red wine and 10 gallons of rum. There must be no slacking of good cheer because a gentleman happened to be a little dead. He had known what society expected of him when he was in the quick, and his household knew what he would expect of them on occa sions such as this, when the credit of a fine old family was at stake. When persons of quality did him the honor to escort his "rambling remains" to the family mausoleum, it was proper to provide against possible pangs of thirst that might attend the polite exertion and to lighten the tedium and to cheer the gloom with customary beverage, for would not his tombstone proclaim him a person of quality?

ICSt KANSAS AVZTTS. FALLING STAES. Annie and Z kept up a custom of oar childhood before going to bed of going out on the lawn and ierrace to interrogate tha sky and speak with the distant stars. Wo were about 16 years of age at this time, and I commenced to experience a singular delight in being alone with Annie by my side in the evenings. Sometimes the night wind, playing with her golden hair, would blow it across my face, and I always felt a thrill of pleasure run through me when X felt their silken caress. Then at length I had looked deep down Into my heart and had read there that I loved her. But I was unable to tell her that this was the case. I was held back by a strong, an instinctive, sense of deli cacy, by an involuntary respect. Her big blue eyes revsaleti such naivete and such Innocence that it seemed to me simply sacrilegious to speak to this child of such things, and I therefore kept silent. Eut soon afterward, with what seemed to mo a strange suddenness, the child grew Into a young girl, and the Annie of old, with her long skirts, her golden curls tied up in a knot upon her head and a twinkle of mischief and coquetry in her big blue eyes, was now a young woman. She possessed all the graces, all the charms and all the attractions of her sex, and when in her company I felt like a timid, awkward schoolboy. When we were alone in the evening upon the wide terrace, I held my peace and was afraid to speak for fear of awakening in the still night air that rippling, little, scornful laugh of hers, and it was only to the shooting stars and meteorites that I dared to sigh my love. It was then decid ed that I was to go to Paris to pursue my law studies. It was my last evening at Ormes, and I was going away on the fol lowing day. As usual, we were together upon the lawn. .She had never seemed so beauti ful to me before, so seductive and. also so affectionate, for, affected at the idea of our separation, she had said such nice things to me that, although they were in significant enough in themselves, yet, coming from her, had engraved them selves forever in my heart. Fighting against the trembling of my voice, I said to her: ''Annie, in a year, when my holidays come round again, I shall be at your side once more looking at the stars. You will think of me from time to time?" For answer, she laughed her light, rip pling little laugh, with that touch of scorn in it, and looked up at me with saucy, shining eyes. Than a meteor shot suddenly across the sky above our heads, and I took Annie's hand in mine and said in a serious voice: "It is said, Annie, that when one has a wish to make it should be made while a meteor flashes along the sky. I have just wished something, and I hope that before long it may be fulfilled!" Did she understand? Her little hand trembled ever so little in mine, but there were no signs of emo tion in her eyes or on her lips. It seemed to me perhaps I was mistaken in the un certain light that I saw a sphinxlike smile on her mouth, and I said nothing more to her that night on the subject so close to my heart. I went to Paris and devoted myself to my studies with all the energy of my na ture. My leisure time I spent dreaming in' my little working room. Had I wanted other distractions there were plenty of them, but I had made up my mind to resist all the usual tempta tions of my age, and I should have despised myself had I wasted my thoughts on any thing or anybody else than Annie. I never ceased thinking about my little golden haired girl and awaited with feverish im patience the approaching summer, which was fixed for my return to Ormes. I began to enjoy the pleasure of return in advanca I saw myself walking with Annie again on the soft green terraces, holding her hand in mine and saying to her in the darkness which would conceal my blushes: "Annie, a year ago I registered a wish beneath these stars that you might one day love me as I love you and have loved you all my life. You will wait another year forane, Annie, won't you? And then we will never be separated again." Closing my eyes, I imagined I saw my sweet fiancee drop her head upon my shoul der and allow me to print a chaste kiss upon her white forehead. This was my only pleasure and the only dream that I indulged in during the long hours of my work in Paris. At length this much longed for sum mer had come, and I was going back to Ormes. Annie was there, more charming, more ravishing than over, aud in her eyes I saw gleaming a gayety and happiness that seemed to me a sure sign that she was pleased at my return and had given mo her love. The night came, and in a calm, uncon cerned voice I asked her to come out and look at the stan. Will you come and see if there are any falling stars tonight?" I asked her. She followed me out upon the terrace, and when once again by her side I experi enced a sort of giddiness. Aly heart be gan to beat as if it would break, and nev er before had I felt my love so strong, bo violent, so irresistible. She was everything to me my little friend of childhood, the sweetheart of my early manhood. All my aspirations were toward her, and she was my whole being, my very life. I would have knelt at her feet in the night on the terrace and have kissed with passionate tears the lace of her long drees. I attempted to speak, but in vain. The words died away upon my lips. It was she who first spoke, and in the deep silence of that beautiful summer night I heard her sweet voice say to me: I am so happy now that you have come home again.' I have been waiting for you to tell you myself a very important piece of news namely, that M. Herpin, the wealthy manufacturer, has asked me to marry him, and I assure you I would not have had my engagement ball without your being there!" It was awcrm night, just as in the old en days. Over our heads the falling stars gleamed brightly in the sky for a moment and then died away in the unknown. It seemed to me that they carried away with them in their swift flight into darkness all my love, all my happiness and all my dreams for the future. They also bore away on their wings of flame my faith, my illusions and a considerable portion of my youth. From the French. All In tbe Dark.

Father Rossigno- eossigxoli ijt Sudanese li was captured costume. about the time that Chinese Gordon, then governor gen eral of the equator under the khedive of Egypt, weDi to Khartum alone after the destruction of Hicks' army by the mahdi's force and assumed command of the Egyptian army. Although Gor don saw death staring "him in the face, he concluded to hold Khartum to the bitter end aud did so. After a siege of 317 days, and when an English army was almost at hand, the mahdi's forces carried the city by assault on Jan. 26, 1885, and some 4,000 people, including Gordon himself, were massacred. Father Kossignoli was taken to Om durman by the mahdists and made a slave. After years of drudgery and cruel treatment Major F. R. Wingate of the British army learned of his where abouts and sent Abdulla to assist him to escape from the hostile mahdists. Major "Wingate ia famous for this sort of hu mane work. In 1892 he effected the es cape of three other captives, two nuns and Father Ohrwalder. He is an Arabic scholar and usually has little difficulty in finding a native who for a consid eration will attempt the rescue of a mahdist captive. A different guide must be employed each time, for once he has effected the escape of a prisoner he would forfeit his life if he returned to the Sudan. The fate of several other Europeans who were captured before and after the fall of Khartum has nev er been learned, and they are doubtless still held as slaves by the mahdists. THE OMAHA WOMAN'S CLUB. It Is Ending; the Century In a Blaze of Intellectual Glory. "Touching life with upward impulse" is the motto of the Omaha Woman's club, one of the most wide awake, pro gressive and well attended organiza tions of women in the United States. It was founded in May, 1893, and at the end of a year over 350 bright and brainy Omaha women had become mem bers and were preparing to end the cen tury in a blaze of intellectual glory. There are now 450 members, and as ap plications are constantly pouring in the 500 mark will doubtless be passed be fore the second anniversary of the or ganization is celebrated in May, 1895. The educational work of the club is con ducted by departments, to at least one of which every member must belong. Each department chooses its chairman and has weekly or bimonthly meetings. The general meetings of the club are held every two weeks, and the literary programme of the session is carried out by some department designated for the purpose. The present officers of tha club are the following named: Frances M. Ford, president; Elizabeth J. Lindsey, first vice, president; Jennie E. Keysor, sec- MRS. FRANCES FOED. ond vice president; Adelaide W. Cross, recording secretary; Harriet H. Heller, corresponding Eecretary; Ida Fleming, treasurer. Among th departments covered are history, applied economics, philosophy and science, parliamentary practice, po litical economyand social science, cur rent topics, art, English literature, Ger man literature, psychology, education, music and domestio science. President Ford was formerly a resi dent of Orange, N. J., and is now one of the leaders of culture and intelligence in Omaha. She is also president of tbe Omaha Woman's Christian association and a musician of rare attainments. Among the other prominent women identified with the club are Mrs. J. W. Savage, ex-president of the organization and widow of Judge Savage; Eliza W. Peattie, a novelist and newspaper wom an; Anna L. P. Duryea, wife of Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Duryea; Mary Garard Andrews, a Universalist minister; Free da M. Lankton, a leading Omaha physi cian; Julia M. C. Hooker, a local drug gist; Grace B. Sudeborough, principal of the Teachers' Training school, aud Dr. Augusta J. Chapin, pastor of the First Universalist church. The club is taking a strong interest in the moral and educational affairs of Omaha, and one department is waging- warfare acainst the disorderly houses of the city.

"Finnegan's Ball," which comes to the Grand this evening, is described by peo ple who have seen it as a very good farce comedy. Murray and Mack who put it on are said to be a clever farce comedy team and the company is promised above 1 lie average in tha line. The people with the "Railroad Ticket," that was here last night, spoke highly of "Finnegan's Bull" as a frce comedy and Harry Por ter came before the curtain between the acts to say some kind of it a very un usual occurrence.

The biennial report of the State Deaf and Dumb institution at Olathe, has been presented to the governor. There is a great cry for water at Olathe. The trustees in their report say the water to supply the school must be brought at great cost from the Kaw river, a distance of fourteen miles, or the institution moved to some place where it can have an ample supply of water. Ihe legislature is called on to solve the water problem. In his report Superintendent Stewart says: "There were six pupils in the gradu ating class for the year ending June 30, 1894: Margaret Naughton, Burlington, Coffee county; Edward Hansman, Paola, Miami county; Katharine Meldrum, Aus tin, Neosho county; Bruce Hewitt, Hol ton, Jackson county; Grace Mulligan, Effingham, Atchison county; Anthony Jennings, Fellsburg, Edwards county. "One of the graduates is a shoemaker, two are priuters, one is a dressmaker, and two are housekeepers. The shoe maker made the shoes which he wore commencement day, and should be prouder of that product of his skill than of his commencement essay, for he will find a much better market for shoes than for essays. "The attendance for the last biennial period has been very gratifying. During the year 1892-'93 the enrollment reached 262, the highest number in the history of the institution. The record of attend ance is shown in detail below: Total enrollment from beginning of institu tion to June 30. 1892 CCS New pupils admitted during lS!fci-'E8 40 New pupils admitted during 1S9J-'14 is Total enrolled to June 30, 1894 732 "Total enrollment for the vear ending June 80, 1893: Males, 126: females, 130; total 26. Average attendance, 241. ''Total enrollment for the year ending June 30. 1894: Males, 115; females, 122; j total, 267. Average attendance, 225. "I am grateful that there have been no deaths among our pupils during the two years. In addition to the Sickness com mon to such institutions, we had last spring a siege of measles and mump; probably 60 cases of the former and 20 of the latter, with no serious results. Only one severe accident occurred during the two years. Roland Iluff, a 13-year old boy, started nutting one Saturday after noon in October, 1893, having been dis tinctly refused permission to do so. As a result of his disobedience, he was over taken and terribly bruised and mangled by a Santa Fe train. Through the care and skill of Doctor llanimill and asso ciate physicians, the boy's life was saved; and, while his body will always be dis figured, his mind seems unimpaired, his health good, and he will resume his studies next term. The health of officers, teachers and employes has also been good, no serious illness having befallen any of them. This is a remarkable record, when we recall the fact that near ly 300 people live in the institution dur ing nine months of the year. A daily hospital report has been kept, which may be consulted by any who are interested iu the details of that record. "In our institution, one-third of the time is spent in the trades. We have carpentry, cabinet making, turning, carv ing and scroll sawing; we have printing, harness making, shoemaking and bak ing, and it is proposed to add the trade of barbering. Our boys also get training in gardening, in the care of lawns, plants, and flowers. The girls have tew ing and printing, in addition to painting, drawiug, fancy work, and the usual duties common to home life, such as dishwashing, care of rooms, and a limited amount of washing and ironing. "An industrial kitchen is badly needed where the older girls may learn to do all kinds of cooking. Such training cannot be successfully given in the work kitch en, which prepares food for nearly 3 0 people three times a day, nor in the bak ery, where the instruction is along the line of professional baking. The indus trial kitchen should be independent of both these and should seek to fit our girls for the duties of home life. It need not be an ex pensive affair, and its products could all be used in the institution. Few deaf girls are taught housekeeping at home; lea to twelve years of their early lives are spent here; nothing can be more practical, more essential, to tit them for intelligent womanhood; and I hope the legislature will grant us a small appro priation with which to begin this work. "Additional machinery is badly needed in the cabinet shop, printing office, and shoe shop. This cannot be purchased with the care and maintenance fund, hence we must ask the legislature for money for that purpose. Fifteen hun dred dollars could be expended to excel lent advantage in this way. "The institution farm, 2J miles south east of Olathe, has not been a source of much revenue for several years past, being farmed quite indifferently. The old tenant was dispossessed with some difficulty, and the result is, that this year's returns from the farm will equal, if not excel, those of the past five years. But the farm should be used exclusively for dairy purposes. Superintendent Walker time aud again called the atten tion of the legislature to this fact. We expended nearly $4,000 last year for but ter, milk, eggs, poultry and vegetables, all of which have been produced on this farm at much less cost. Our milk bill alone was nearly $1,400. "During the past year some of the smaller state institutions have bought cows with the money usually expended for milk, furnishing more" and better milk than formerly, without additional cost This we cannot do until provision is made for the care of the stock. There is perhaps no more crying need than this at our institution, and I urge the legisla ture, simply as a business proposition, not to longer ignore it." The following is a summary of the de mands to be made of the legislature for tlie support of the deaf and dumb insti tution as, outlined by Superintendent Stewart: For Support.

Railroad Ticket," Started From Xopeka With That Opera. The audrence that witnessed the re turn trip of "A Railroad Ticket" to the Grand last night, was a large one, but there wasn't $100 more in tha house than there was on the first trip. The performance was generally the same, excepting that it was necessary to change the cast around just a little on account of the abseuce of J. P. Carroll, who plays Clasher. The company played at Denver last week and made the trip from there to Topeka Sunday. After the train had started it was noticed that Carroll was not on board and when the company arrived here a telegram was waiting for Manager Freeman, say ing that Carroll was sick at his hotel ia Denver. It was after 5 o'clock then7 but something had to be done and there was nothing left, but to take one of tho scientific committee and make a Clasher of him. lie was tall and Corroll was short. He wore Carroll's clothes and looked about as awkward in them as he could be. He acted awkwardly, and didn't remember any great quan tity of Clasher's lines. He had Jto be prompted so much and so loud that the audience felt sorry for him, but ho got through pretty well for a man who took a part at five o'clock and went on with one hurried rehearsal. The singing was just as good as ever and between the second and third acts Topeka's Louie Heck played for a violin solo a fantasie by Vieuxtemps. The audience was enraptured and called him back when he played "The Girl I Left Behind Me" with variati6ns. He was aerain recalled and responded with "You'll Remember Me." His part of the programme was a areat success. Jimmie Kelly, the young man who plays Chips, was in Topeka two years ago and left here with an amateur opera company that put on "Eileen," an Irish opera written by a Topeka man named Goolman. "An 'angel' from San Francisco was backing the piece," said Kelly, ''and Louie Heck here was the director. They brought me from Salt Lake City and gave me a little part with not more than twenty-five lines. All the best parts were gobbled up by Topeka amateurs. Dan -McCoy of Topeka sang the baritone. That's all the Topeka people I remem ber. We were out eleven days and went to pieces at Lincoln. The 'angel from 'Frisco was out about $7,000, and I was out of a job and my salary. I would have starved if 1 hadn't run across a job in Omaha, of singing in to phonographs and made f 8J in a couple of weeks. There were only two other professional people with the company, Amy Leslie and some women from Chi cago." Harry Porter, the young man with the versatile face is twenty-six years old and was formerly with Frank Daniels. The rest of the support was good and the audience seemed to like the enter tainment The company goes north and east from here. The maker of a New York baking powder insinuates falsely that it re ceived highest honors at the Chicago fair. Tha honor went to Dr. Price's. Ammonia powders were excluded from competition. IN QUARTERLY SESSION. The County Commissioners Are Allowing Bills and Attending to General ISasinesM. The county commissioners are in ses sion, having convened yesterday in reg ular quarterly session. Their session will in all probability occupy most of the week. '1 he time yesterday was occupied largely with considering the quarterly report of County Auditor Fagan, which is mure important than interesting. It was agreed by the board to allow the trustees of Soldier township to use crushed stone from the couuty quarries for the purpose of macadamizing the Rochester road, north of Topeka, which in wet weather ia one of the worst in the county. The requisitions for. the quarter ly supplies of the superintendent of the poor farm, was allowed, and Stevenson Evans, the court house contractors, were allowed an estimate for work done amounting to $2,90461. Next Monday T. P. Rodgers will be sworn in to suc ceed J. Lee Kniiht as chairman of the board of countv commissioners. Coaghs and Colds Are damaging at this time of year.

And Very Justifiably Does the City Council 13 RELATION TO THE WATERWORKS. Tlie Assessing of the Waterworks in "Topeka Township to Be Investisi ted ihe Petty Squabble Over the Resolution Cenanriag the Mayor Renewed. The council took up the waterworks question last night with a vengeance, and Couucilman Bradford offered the following resolution as told in last even ing's Journal: Whereas, The Topeka Water company is a corporation and has its general of fices in the city of Topeka, also over thirty miies of water mains and other valuable property, and is subject as other corporations are to the laws of the state of Kansas and the ordinances of the city of Topeka;' and, NVhereas, The township assessor of Topeka township returned to the county clerk of Shawnee county the sum of $d0, 00J as the assessed value of all prjperty owned by the said Topeka Water com pany in the said township. The city as sessor of the city of TopeKa returned to tlie county clerk of Shawiiee county the sum of $153,000 as the total valuation of all the property of the said Tope ka Water company in the said township and city. That tlie board of county commissioners of Shawnee county acting as a. board of equalization erroneously and illegally set off to To peka township of said total valuation th8 sum of $15,000. That iu fact that portion of the property of the said water company, situated in the city of Topeka, and now by the action of the board of commissioners assessed at $10,500, was once sold to the present owners of the property for the sum of $50j,000. There fore, be it Resolved, the city attorney be, and he is hereby instructed and directed to make an examination into all of the facts con nected with the said equalization and brin-r such suit, civii or criminal, or both, as shall be necessary to correct the error and give to the city of Topeka its just proportion of the assessment of said com pany. The resolution was adopted without opposition. City Attorney Tillot.son said that the position taken by the water company and concurred in by the county attorney and cuuuly commissioners was that the water mains should be taxed where the pump station is located. "They have overlooked the fact," said he, "that the company has a pump house inside the city limits which is connected with the mains and frequently uaed. Councilman Bradford said that the action of the county commissioners was astonishing in view of the fact that the law expressly states that property shall be taxed where it is situated. Councilman Bradford then introduced a resolution requiring the city engineer to prepare an estimate of fhe probable cost of a water plant sufficient for the demands of the city. This was also adopted. ihe fight between the maor and coun cil over a matter which will occasion a great deal of relief when it is iiually dropped, was commenced last night al most as soon as the mayor's gavel felL Clerk McFadden started to read the minutes of December 8 and Councilman Fellows at once moved that the minutes be amended to include the resolution censuring the mayor passed on that even ng. "That motion is not in order," said Mayor Harrison, firmly.. "This is the old fight and we don't want to go over it again." Councilman Fellows "Then you hold that we can not amend the minutes.1' The Mayor "I hold just what I did before." Councilman Fellows "I would like to hear from the city attorney on that point." The Mayor "It is wholly immaterial what the city attorney may think. He is merely a subordinate officer and I am acquainted with the manual." Ccuncilmau Fellows "I move an ap peal from the decision of the chair." The Mayor "That is not in order." Councilman Fellows "That rul ing is without precedent It is tyrannical." The mayor: "I say there is no use to go over that old ground again. I do not propose to allow the resolution entitled "protest" to go on the records. It does not state the truth. It is an insult to the man who proposed it, to every member of the council who signed it, and to the member who presented it to the coun cil." Councilman Fellows then moved that the further reading of the minutes be made of very finest Cassi meres, Worsteds, Cheviots, Tweeds, that sold from $3 to $5, of which we have but few of a lot, your choice now rrmerie 2r is here to stay.

The veto of the claims of McCabe and Engell for work done after they were discharged by the mayor, was then called up and the same quarrel gone over. Councilman Burgess said that he was in favor of striking out the resolution en titled "protest," and that he did not think he should have signed it t ut he said he was in favor of paying the claims of E11 gell and .McCabe. After a short discussion the considera tion of the matter was postponed. Tlie Twelfth Street PaTiiiff. Probate Judge Elliott appeared before he council to protest against the paving of Twelfth street. He said he uid not think it wise to do any paviug now and that he hoped nothing would be done until spring, at least, lie did hot believe it necessary to go further with the propo sition or to pave the street or pass tlie resolution declaring it necessary to pave the street, for a majority of the property owners would protest and thudefeat the proposition. Councilman Bradford was opposed to the pavement and said that he was satis fied that the council did not have juris diction, as a majority of the property owners who would pay for the pavement had uot signed the petition. The motion to adopt the report of the committee declaring it necessary to pave the stret, was lost by a tie vote, as fol lows: Affirmative Pattison, Stephenson, Burgess, Fellows, Fulton. Negative liulman, Stevens, Ettlinger, Bradford, Griggs. 'lhis kills the proposition to pave Twelfth street for the present. City Treasurer's Report.
