10 CENTS A WEEK. NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KAlSAS, FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 15, 1895. TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. J V I r SOL'S HOT SHOT. Editor Miller of Troy Blue Vitriol Throws Into the Face of Party. His Own PEELS OFF THE SKIN And Applies the Knout to the Quivering Flesh. Spares Neither Friend Nor Foe in His Ire. BEGGARS LANGUAGE. Rotten, Corrupt, Depraved, Worthless Legislature, Is What He Calls Our Kansas "Redeemers." Sol Miller, the veteran editor of the Troy Chief, created something of a sen sation when he-returned his commission aa a member of the state board, of par dona to Governor Morrill with thanks; but he has created a still greater com motion within the ranks of the Repub'li can party by a four column castigation of the late legislature and .the present administration, in this week's edition of his paper. In this four cftlumn editorial he says, under the heading "A Record to Be Ashamed Of:" "The legislature postponed its most creditable act 'until the very laat that was the adjournment. After having con demned the late Democratic congress, ana the Calamity legislature, we cannot say "well done", of -a. body that discounted them both in worthlessness and extrava gance, simply because it was Republican. Therefore, we are compelled to say that the late legislature of Kansas was the most reckless, the most worthless, the most scandalous, of any body that ever sat in Kansas. "We would add the most corrupt, but we have no proof of it except appear ances. How the Republican party can go before the people and ask for contin ued confidence on the record of that leg islature, We cannot imagine. It was thought that defeat and exclusion from power for two years would have been a lesson, and that when they returned to power they would have used extra exer lieus to commend themselves to the peo ple; but instead, they seem to have be come ravenous by their enforced ab sence from the fodder rack and to have gone in to gorge themselves, regardless of all else. Like a Herd of Texas Steers. "The legislature passed a few com mendable laws as what one ever failed to do so: There were also a few able, level headed members of the house who occasionally managed to hold that bodv steady. But as a whole, it was a herd of Texas steers without any conception of the duties of law makers, bent upon run ning things wide open. "Their first stampede was in the selec tion of a Lnited States senator. They had discovered, or heard, or thought they smelled boodle in one of the camps, and .they rushed to that camp with a force that threatened to carry everything be fore them. It was only by meaas of the sharpest kind of strategy that they did not saddle a scandal upon the state, to begin with. "The Republican state platform prom ised the people an honest and economi cal administration of tha state govern ment. "The appropriations (of the legislature) aggregate over three and a quarter mil lions of dollars. And then it is boasted that the tax levy is not increased, but re mains as it was before, when things were prosperous, and crops good. Cowardly Compromise. "The worst feature of the whole busi ness is, that the entire proceedings were characterized by tyrannical disregard of the rights of their political friends, and cowardly compromise with their enemies yes, worse than compromise; it was ab ject surrender. The Calamity majority in the senate got everything it asked for. It coerced the house into yielding to all its demands; while the house passed all the senate measures without even de manding anything for itself in return. The governor as well as the house suc cumbed to this system of coercion, and both became the meek doers of Calamity work. "One of the very first acts of the leg islature was the appointment of a swarm of clerks and other subordinate officers four times as many aa were necessary at any time, and placing them upon the pay-roll for the entire session, and long before the services of any of them were needed. nere was a great ado made about aDoiisning useless omces; but the result was, mat just one omce was abolished that or state veterinarian, which many jjttrauria maist was really a office. necessary "On the other hand, not less than twenty-two new salaried or feed offices were created, that the people must pay lor. "An aPPellate court wa3 created, with Bix judges, each judge with a clerk and a stenographer, making eighteen offices right there. There is no dispute that the supreme court is over-crowded, and be hind with its work; but this appellate court is but a temporary makeshift Most Scandalous Part. "But the most scandalous part of it was the terms upon which the court was cre ated. The senate would not permit the passage of the bill without a provision that at least two of the judges should be members olf the Calamity party, and one Democrat. The house meeklv viiriH the cheeky demand. But after the pass- age of the bill, it wa3 discovered, to the general consternation, that the law with that provision would be unconstitutional. "But a bargain was entered into be tween the governor and the Calamity pirates in the senate, by which the un constitutional provision should be omit ted, but the governor should carry out its intent in the appointments to the court. It is even said that a part of the demand was that a certain senator, who assisted in creating the offices, should te one of j the juages. lhe- bargain was carried out One or the Worst Scandals. -''One of the worst scandals connected with Kansas legislation has been the ap pointment of members to offices created by themselves. Out of the six judges of thi3 new court, one has been given to a senator, one to a representative, and one to the father of a representative. We say nothing against the ability or the worth of the majority of the judges, but the practice is pernicious. Another re presentative has been appointed to another of the new offices created. Be sides, three senators and we do not know how many representatives -were appoint ed to offices while the legislature was in session. At least two of the senators already held appointive offices. One of them is a drunkard, and thereby gave good cause for removal; but as he was the chief agent in the performance of certain underhand work, he will hardly be disturbed in his position. "Business" is now the watchword. Faith must be kept with pirates and highwaymen, even if it is broken with staunch and un wavering friends of many years' stand ing. The Irrigation Fraud. 'The Republican state convention re solved in favor of encouraging irriga tion. The legislature carried out this pledge by appropriating $30,000 for ex periments. Rest assured, that the $30, U00 will all be expended on experiments, at the end of which irrigation will be as far off as ever, and hot winds and droughts will not suffer in health. Of course, a new. board was created to squander this money, composed of three members, who are to receive $1,000 each." After speaking of the refusal of the senate to confirm the appointment of Judge J. Emery as one of the irriga tion commissioners and the causes which led up to it, he says: uAs in the case of the appellate court here was a good excuse to shut off a $30,000 Bteal upon the state by refusing to be coerced. But this being strictly a 'business' administration a competent and honorable man was sacrificed in order to conciliate the expiring tail end f the worst imposition that was ever inflicted upon the state. "Among the first business of the legis lature was the consideration of an ap propriation of almost $70,000 deficiency for the state printer. This deficiency was for printing calamity campaign lit erature in the guise of public docu menta IH-Treatinent of Col. Hughes. "The sacrifice of Colonel Hughes was another ac5 of a .piece with the general policy. The man appointed adjutant general is a good man and deserving, but that is not the question. Another man might have done as Hughes did iu the emergency, but that does not enter into the case. At a very critical mo ment Colonel Hugh63 refused to sustain a revolution, even at the command of his superior officer, and, it is conceded, by his course averted a bloody riot That he acted right has been decided by the courts and endorsed by his party. For that act he was court martialed and disgraced by the party in whose interest he refused to aid a usur pation. His own party owed it to him, to themselves, and to justice, to vindi cate him at the earliest possible mo ment "Had we been governor, we know how we would have dealt with these high waymen. We would have selected some trusted friend who did not want the adjutant-general's office, and have sent his name to the senate, under an agreement with him, that aa soon as the legislature adjourned, he-would resign the office; and then, after the appropriations were all safe, and the pirates gone, we would have appointed Colonel Hughes to the vacancy, and have let the dirty whelps rage and gnash their teeth. That's the way we would- have kept faith with men -who- extorted promises at the muzzle of the pistoL But we never did understand much about "business." As to State Printer. "Speaking of state printer, this is an office so lucrative that a single term af fords the incumbent a moderate fortune. The state printer-elect has a widely cir culated newspaper, and his taffy is sweet to the members. It informs their con stituents that the dungarees and coyotes whom they elected to represent them are veritable solons. "Another new office was created with a salary of $1,500 a year, called 'state ac countant.' The object of the office is, first, to provide a snug berth for some favorite perhaps a member of the legis lature that created it Secondly, the duty of the accountant is to receive $1,500 a year for examing the books of state offi cers who receive $2,500 a year, to see if they are straight. Nothing like 'business' in running the affairs of a government." No Railro:i(i Legislation. In telling why there was no railroad legislation, he says: "The railroad lawyers that are alwavs sprinkled through the legislature are too well up in their business to permit any thing of that sort "In nothing are the people of Kansas more outrageously imposed upon and robbed than in the matter of insurance. A bill was introduced, or perhaps several of them, that were very binding upon in surance companies. Not one of them passed. The insurance lobby was too 'in fluentiaL"' He then calls attention to the failure of the legislative committees to investi gate the Kansas City stock yards, the state penitentiary management and the state insurance department, and the failure to pass a congressional apportion ment bill. "Much credit is claimed for the legis lature, because it abolished six judicial districts, although it created six offices more expensive in their place. But it is claimed that the act is not constitutional; that there is no power to legislate a judge out of office. The act is to be tested be fore the supreme court Bo that even this saving may not materialize. Tine Miscellaneous Steal. "But the culmination and summing up of bll scandalous legislation is to be found in the miscellaneous appropriation bill, the laat act passed. It is freckled with steals. Every fraud, steal, extortion, bogus claim, illegal charge is found there, The only wondsr is that two or three steals, but more legitimate than any that were allowed, were cut out. "But the summing up of all the scan dals is the allowance of the claims of the Dunainore rump house. "We have not space to enumerate the scandalous allowances made in this bill. "As a fitting wind-up of the legisla ture, when it adjourned, hundreds, per haps thousands of dollars' worth of state property was raked up and carried away by members, officers, clerks, supes, pets and hangers-on, in the way of paper, pencils, inkstands, mucilage bottles, erasers, rubbers and other articles pur chased for the use of the legislature, to be used as needed. It was equal to a raid of banditti upon a frontier store. Expects Criticism. "We are well aware that we shall be assailed and denounced for this criticism by those who have profited by the late session. We shall be accused of all man ner of unworthy motives, and denounced for furnishing ammunition to the enemy to fight the Republican party. If this legislature represented the sentiment of the Republican party, then it needs to be fought, and deserves to be defeated. Recent reverses should have taught the party something. It should have striven to avoid the blunders and excesses of the party lately hurled from power, instead of going more deeply into the work of plunder. If this was to be the rule, better that the calamity party should have elected its state ticket and legisla ture, and have borne the odium. "If the people are to be deceived, im posed upou and plundered, it does not make it easier to bear that Republicans are the perpetrators. What avails it to defeat the calamity party and then permit a little remnant of that party to coerce the legislature into all manner of schemes of plunder for the benefit chiefly of ca lamityites? It would have been better to have let improvements at the public institutions remain at a stand still lor two years longer than to have submitted to such disgrace. If calamity reckless ness and plundering are to go on under Republican rule, of what benefit are Re publican victories?" IN SOL MILLER'S PLACE. a. ii. White of Pratt County on the Board of Pardons. Governor Morrill has appointed a new member of the state board of pardons to succeed Sol Miller, who would not have the place. The new member is J. H. White, of Pratt county, who is an old personal friend of the governor. Mr. White was a candidate for state grain inspector, but the gov ernor has some one else slated for that place and Mr. White must be satisfied with the pardon job if he gets anything. As the board of pardons now stands it is composed of J. C. Caldwell of Topeka, Charles Smith of Washington, and J. EL White of Pratt. LUX STORE BURGLARIZED. The Thieves Get Nothing but Try to Burn the Store. Last night soon after midnight the patrol was called by telephone to the store of S. E. Lux at Tenth street and To peka avenue, and it was understood that Frank Knox of the store and others had a burglar cornered there. A search that was made after the officers arrived, how ever, failed to reveal any hidden burg lar, and no arrest was made. The upstairs part of the store was in tact bo far as evidence was concerned, but down stairs there were signs that led to the belief that an attempt had been made to burn the building. A candle had been left burning and had upset, tiring the pine box on which it sat The box was burning, but the candle may simply have tipped over. The burglars must have entered through the front door with a key, as there was a bar to tne Dac& aoor and no sign that any one had disturbed it This is the second time the store has been entered by thieves in the past year. The burglars got nothing. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Attorney General Dawes Hands His Opin ion to Gov. Morrill. Attorney General F. B. Dawes today handed Governor Morrill his formal opinion as to the governor's duty in ap pointing a new board of public works. In this opinion Mr. Dawes says the governor must make the appointments, as the act creating the board provides that it shall be perpetual. lis raises the question of the constitu tionality of tha action of the legislature in taking the expeuditure of the appro priations for the new buildings at the various state institutions out of the hands of the board of public works. Mr. Dawes calls attention to the fact that the original law provided that the board of public work9 should have con trol and should supervise the construc tion of all public buildings iu the state. It is now possible that the new board of public works, to be appointed by Gov. Morrill, will attempt through the courts to get control of all the appropriations made by the recent legislature for public buildings. Cy Leland said today that he is positively not a candidate for any position under Gov. Morrill's administration. He said he wanted Sol Miller appointed to a place on the board of public works, but since that was not done he does not care who gets those places, and as far as he is concerned Jim Ramsey and Mike Heery can both have places on the board. Justice F. M. Grover is a candidate for re-election as justice of the peace. He is most familiarly known aa the "Blind Justice," but despite this affliction he has proven one of the most efficient jus tices in the city of Topeka. He is pre eminently qualified for the position. His friends are proud of his record, and will stand by him at the primaries tomorrow. GRESHnMWAKES UP. He Demands That Spain Explain the Allianca Affair. Sends a Message to the TJ. Minister at Madrid. RIDICULES THE IDEA. Spanish Minister Disposed to Treat the Matter Lightly. He Says It Sounds Like a Sea Serpent Story. Madrid, March 15. The following cablegram has been received here: Taylor, Minister, Madrid: "This de partment is informed that on the 8th in stant the United -States mail steamship, Allianca, on her homeward voyage from Colon to New .York, when six miles from the coast of Cuba, off May, was repeatedly tired by a Spanish gunboat with Cape upon solid The ghot which fortunately fell short windward passage where this oc curred is the natural and usual highway for vessels plying between ports of the United States and the Caribbean sea. "Through it several regular lines of American mail and commercialsteamers pass weekly within sight of Cape .May. They are well known and their voyage embraces no Cuban port of call. Forcible interference with them cannot be claimed as a belligerent act unless they pass within three miles of the Cuban coast, and can under no circumstances ba tolerated when no state of war exists. "This government will expect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act and due expression of regret upon the part of Spain, and it must insist that immediate and positive orders be given to Spanish naval commanders not -to interfere with legitimate commerce passing through that, channel ani prohibiting ail acts wantonly imper iiibg life and property lawfully under the flag of the United states. 'You will communicate this to the minister of foreign affairs and urge im portance of prompt and satisfactory re sponse. (Signed) Gresham." THE SPANISH MIKISrEK JOCOSE. Capl. CroBsman's Tale Sounds to HI in Like a Sea Serpent Story. Washington, March 15. Sonor Mu ruaga, the Spanish minister, had not been informed up to 11 o'clock today, either by his government, or by the state de partment of the United States demand upon Spain through our minister at Madrid, he was pursuing his investiga tions of the Allianca aliair and had re ceived telegraphic and mail re ports from the governor general of Cuba, all of which stated there was no information of the Spanish gunboat, although the officials along the eastern coast of Cuba, where the supposed outrage occurred, had been on the lookout "For my part," Baid the minister, "this looks very much like a sea serpent affair. Every now and then a captain states that he has seen the sea serpent and came near being swallowed by it Captain Crossman is no doubt a worthy officer, but it looks very much as though he had a dream as to seeing a Spanish gun boat. There are no affidavits as yet, and the proper course would be to exact affidavits from the crew and passengers of the Allianca and find if they agreed with the state ment ot Captain Cro3sman." Secretary Gieshatn came to the state department looking very weak as the re sult of his sickness, but determined to keep further negotiations in his own hands. Looking to the future, it is fully expected, in view of the prompt action of the Spanish min ister here in promising that if Spain was in the wrong she would make all proper reparation, that the incident will be speedily and peacefully settled. If, however, the Spanish government should be stung by the urgency shown by the United States in making that issue into refusing to meet our demands, our minister, Mr. Taylor, may make demand for his passport, and unless cooler counsels, coming from some disinterested and friendly nation, prevail, an ugly compli cation may result ending in the presence of a considerable fleet of United States vessels in Cuban waters to protect shipping-

LOCAL MENTION. The judges and clerks will be furnish ed with both supper and dinner tomor row. There are thirty-eight names on the ticket to be voted at the primary tomor row. The returns from the city primary will be received and tabulated in the city clerk's office. Dr. Herbert L. Flint, mesmerist, hyp-, notist, etc., will be at Crawford's opera house all of next week. W. T. McKnight, who was nominated as a candidate for member of the city central committee, at a Third ward meet ing a few nights ago, has withdrawn in favor of R. F. Knott, who had previously been a candidate. McKnight says his withdrawal is in the interest of party harmony. James McAndrew has written to the Journal, that Dr. McCasey was present in the office of W. A. S. Bird, when the charges against Senator M. A. House holder were signed. McCasey had de nied having anything to do with the preparation of the charges. The brother of Will Hahn, the young man who was reported to have left town, leaving unpaid debts, says that he is in Kansas City, and intends to return to Topeka. He said that the money taken was nearly all due him from his partner. 31 ore (snow in Iowa. Des Moines, March 15. Snow began falling last night and continues. It lies an inch and a half deep It is thawing. "THE BOY LIED." How Mayor Harrison Xtefuted a Campaign Story Last Night. The First ward is the center of politi cal activity. The people have been hold ing meetings and discussing the situa tion with considerable enthusiasm, and a large vote is expected. A meeting was .held last night in the rooms of the colored Republican Flambeau club, which brought oat a large number of voters. M. C Holman was there and at tacked the administration of Mayor Har rison with the usual arguments used by the following of C. A. Fellows. Mayor Harrison was not there, but some of his friends were, and they started out to hunt him. He was found and taken to tha meeting, and hia presence was a start ling surprise. Mayor Harrison successfully refuted every charge that had been made and he had not talked long until the crowd cheered and applauded almost every ut terance. At the close of his talk Oscar Swayzer one of the candidates for city clerk, took the gauge of battle from Mr. Holman and asked Mayor Harrison some ques tions. "Why was half the street roll paid to one fainily" asked Swayze. 1 will have to answer that like the man did who was asked by a boy why the cow had jumped over the moon. He said that he could not answer the ques tion except to say that the boy had lied. That is the way I will have to answer the question you have asked." If a vote had been taken at the close of the meeting the sentiment would have been almost unanimous for Harrison. O. D. Skinner, who is a candidate for councilman against Mr. Holman, made a short talk, and other candidates who were present addressed the meeting. PMIMARY POINTERS. Councilman Holman made a great mis take in fighting Mayor Harrison. He simply encouraged the people of North Topeka to bring out Skinner. Charley Fellows fellow, but he has against Harrison. is a good sort of a no business running When a man makes a straight, suc cessful business administration like Har rison has, he should have practically no opposition. His opponent really has no issue to make a canvass on except that he would like to run the citv. Harrison's administration has like an open book. He believes secret sessions. been in no Billy Sterne has done quite well indeed as a senator, but he makes a mistake iu booming Mr. Fellows. The people of Topeka don't want any politi cal bosses. Mr. Sterne knows as well as anybody that Harrison has made a good mayor for the people and ought to be re nominated. If the. Republicans know a good mayor when they have one, they will stick to Harrison and make no trades these close times. "I believe in running the city on busi ness principles," says Mayor Harrison. That's the sort of a mayor To peka has had for a part of a term. Shall we give him a full term or do we oppose bus iness principles for the conduct of a city. With a council composed of such men as C. H. Holcraft Topeka would bid for the Corbett-FitzsimmoDS fight The polls at the primary will open at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and close at 7 p.m. "I am for Harrison because Topeka needs a careful, conservative man for mayor," said a well-known business man today. The supporters of Fellows on the city central committee tried to defeat the use of the Australian ballot at the primary. The reason the whiskyite gives for supporting Fellows is that "He is lib eral" on the liquor question. Pete Callahan, jointist and law-breaker, is for Fellows. The Municipal league does not Intend to do anything in this spring's election as a league, but its members are for good government. A. W. Earnest, the second ward Dem ocrat, has turned Republican long enough to work for J; ellowa at the Re publican primary. The men who find fault with Harrison because he did not spend more money than the city had should apply the same philosophy to their business affairs, and then think where it would land them in a few years. Mayor Harrison reduced the salary of the city engineer from' $1,800 a year to $1,200 without any help from the coun cil. If Mayor Harrison has had trouble with the council it should be remember ed that C. A. Fellows always led the fight against the mayor. "I am very solicitous about the health of every one I meet now," said one of. the candidates. "You should get a posi tion in the health department," was the rejoinder. "It is strange how I think that every one I see is thinking about me," said one of the candidates today. "Do you really think they are?" Mayor Harrison is a good city government representative of The professional politicians are against Harrison because he will not mind them. John Jones, the colored ex-state house messenger and ward heeler, is against Mayor Harrison because he did not give him a position. What does the city of Topeka owe Jones? AMID THEPlflES. McKinley's Presidential Boom Takes on Strength Away Down in Dixie,at Thonias ville, Georgia WORKERS MEET THERE Four Hundred Atlanta Demo crats Form a Club To Support MeKinley for Presi dent in 1896. Thomasvilxk, Ga., March 15. Major William McKinley's campaign for presi dent has begun, and it has begun in the most unexpected place imaginable; in the midst of the Georgia pines. This' city now enjoys the distinction of having within its gates a man who is perhaps the most prominent man before the peo ple today next to President Cleveland. He is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Wil liam Oiborn of Boston, Mass., and J. P. Smith, state librarian of Ohio. They are staying at the elegant winter residence oi Mark A. Hanua of Cleveland, who is wintering here. It has been noised abroad that the trip of Governor MeKin ley was solely to visit his friend Mr. Hanna, and to spend a couple of weeks resting from his duties. But outside circumstances seam to in dicate strongly that the presidential nomination of 1896 has something to do with Mr. McKinley's visit It is gener ally conceded that while in Thomasville Mr. MeKinley will have a conference with a large number of the leading Re publicans of Georgia as well as from numerous other states representing every section of the union. Such men as Medill and Kohlsaat of Chicago will be hero and they will consider matter re lating to Governor McKinley's nomina tion for president bv the republicans in 1896. The night before McKinley's arrival in Georgia it was announced that 400 Dem ocrats of Atlanta had organized a club known as the Southern Republican club, and at its head was W. H. Venerable, who -ia the president of the Georgia state senate, and who has always been u Democrat It is said that MeKinley is very solid in Birmingham, and that the sugar planters of Louisiana are his sworn friends. MeKinley, it ii said, has an idea, which is perhaps true, that the protection ele ment is growing in strength in the south. McKiniey will be very apt to take better in the south than Reed. The Ouio gov ernor is the smoother citizen of the two. Ho does not say smart things, and is not afraid to say a dull thing if expedient to do so. Reed would not say a dull thing, for a state delegation. McKiniey is a man of excellent poise, of good taste, extremely amiable and a fair mixer. He carries himself very attractively and without half trying wins the regard of those who lean even to the fortunes of other candidates. McKiniey is a good campaigner. He will probably run across the Massachus etts assemblymen, who are down in Georgia now investigating the methods of cotton manufacturing in the south. If he does Reed had better keep clos9 watch on his New England friends. Some of McKinley's friends boast that he will have a solid south controlled by the iron mongers of Alabama and Ten nessee, the sugar growers of Louisiana, the fruit raisers of Florida and the cotton manufacturers of Georgia. A poll of the Republicans of the New Hampshire legislature a few days ago showed that while 120 were for Reed, there were more than 80 for McKiniey as first choice. There was a poll of the Re publicans of the Pennsylvania legisla ture and while Hastings, the governor, got the largest individual vote, which was no doubt complimentary, McKinley's supporters outnumbered Reed's. .McKiniey goes to New York next month and is booked to make a speech at Grant's tomb at no distant day. He will probably keep himself very much in evidence and very much on the platform during the next fifteen or sixteen months. WAGES TO BE RAISED. Stranee, But Joyful News Which Came to Pennsylvania Miners. Mount Pleasant, Pa., March 15. Not since the halcyon days of the old syndi cate has the Connellsville coker received such pleasant news as came to the almost 10,000 employes of the Frick and South west companies at noon today, which, when notices were posted at all their works, stated that an advance in wages, averaging about 15 per cent, will go into effect on April 1st The rate for mining per 100 bushels goes from seventy-eight to ninety cents; drawing, from forty-three to fifty cents, and so on down through the different kinds of labor. The yard laborer is the only person who gets no advance, his pay remaining at $1.20 per day. OSCAR WILDE TO DUEL. He and Lord Alfred Donglass Leave for Monte Carlo. London, March 15. Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglass, son of the Mar quis of Queeensberry, have started for Monte Carlo. There is no question of a duel between Mr. Wilde and the mar quis. Col. Wale Sick. CoL George W. Veale is still quite sick and unable to leave his bed. His condi tion was somewhat improved today but he is still a sick man. He has been sick with the grippe for a week. No tickets will be used tomorrow but the official ballot signed with an auto graph signature of. City Clerk McFad den. If you vote any other ticket it will not be counted.

STATE JOURKAIi, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH IS, 1895. GOLD fjpiS. Story of a Wonderful Gold Find in Australia. Nuggets Weighing 150 Ounces Are Picked Up. LIKE A FAIRY TALE. Men Endur ed Horrible Suffering to Beach the Field. Vancouver, B. C., March 15. By mail via steamer Mirowera comes an astonishing1 story from the distant gold fields of western Australia, hardly credible, if it had not been borne out by the arrest of the several ringleaders in the most terrible tragedy that has yet been enacted in the lawless Cool bardie. Fabulous finds hare lately been reported from Ninety-Mile point, nuggets weighing1 between 50 and 150 ounces of purs gold being picked up qn the surface of the ground. These stories made men mad with lust for gain, and prospectors in the race for wealth pushed on for hun dreds of miles in the wilderness, far beyond where white men had ever been. They had scarcely enough food and water to keep them alive. They were brought back raging with fever and placed in the Coolgardie hospital, already over-crowded with dying miners. The fate of these desperate men did not deter eight -new arrivals from forming a syndicate and, with heavy packs of provisions, water and rifles, started from Ninety-Mile point, the extreme western limit of Coolgardie, to penetrate into the interior. They started December 1 of last year, and nothing being heard of them since, it was supposed that they had met death. Dan Robertson, one of the syndicate, returned from his camp, 130 miles from Coolgardie, January 20, and confessed to the police that after discovering a mountain of gold the party, returning to camp, found that a band of blacks had stolen all their pro visions. The syndicate pursued the blacks to their village and butchered the entire encampment, shooting the men and braining the women and chil dren. The other murderers have been arrested. The solid hill of quartz which the syndicate found is 70 feet high, 230 feet wide at the base and 15 feet at the summit, full of gold. The rush la setting in to the scene of the find. KEINR EEG .ENTE EE PORTED FOUND. Madkid, March 15. Several British warships have left Gibraltar in search cf the missing vessel. One report cur rent here late last night is that she was found by a British vessel in a dis abled condition off tha African coast. The Moorish steamer that went out in search of the missing Spanish war ship Reine Regente has returned to Tangiers, and "reports that she found no trace of the vessel. While she was cruising, the Moorish steamer rescued eleven men from the Spanish bark Luz, Capt. Jardon, from Brunswick, Ga., February 4, for Palma, Majorica, which was wrecked during the recent storm. The men had been afloat four days in an open boat when they were picked up. A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Representative! Slbler, of Pennsylvania, to Carry the Banner of the SUverites. Philadelphia, March 15. As an ad vocate of free silver it is suggested that Representative Sibley,of Pennsylvania, would make an excellent presidential candidate to represent the interests of eastern silverites. He was born in Allegheny county. N. Y., in 185a By JOSEPH O. BIBLET. successful operations in the oil fields of Pennsylvania when they were first discovered he became a millionaire. Aside from his present office as repre sentative he has held no public office except that of mayor of his home town Franklin. He is a lover of fine horses and keeps half a dozen of them at Washington for his amusement.

The pen sion bureau has been greatly annoyed for several months past by imposters, persons representing themselves .to be special examiners .connected with the bureau who have been operating in the state of Pennsylvania and fleecing unsuspecting pensioners. A few weeks ago a special exam iner, Martin, of Harrisburg, Pa., caused the arrest of Joe Greener, alias "Buck skin Joe," a notorious criminal and ex pert in this line, who has already served three terms in the penitentiary for similar offenses, and the court again sent him to the penitentiary for one year and six months. Yesterday the bureau was advised by Special Examiner Donnolly, who is also located in Harrisburg, that he has secured the arrest of Barney Kemper, alias Joseph Dolan, alias William Dolan, at McSherrystown, Adams county, Pa. Dolan is alleged to have been calling upon pen sioners of southern Pennsylvania representing that he had been sent out by the pension office to examine them and to see that the board of examining surgeons had done them justice. He is also alleged to have represented that he had power to increase pensions or reduce them as he found them, and it is charged that after making some memorandum in reference to the pensioner's case, he would demand a fee of $1.50 to have the matter put on record. Many old soldiers, it is said, have paid the small amount demanded and the im poster has reaped a rich harvest. Felony is the crime of which he i3 charged and the maximum penalty is three years' imprisonment or a fine of 81,000, or both, in the discretion of the court. OUB IMPOSTS AND EXPORTS.

Pueblo, Col., March 15. A warm wind at Walsenburg yesterday morning melted the snow of Wednesday very rapidly and dried the earth so that yesterday afternoon searching parties set out again to hunt the bodies of the two Italians killed by the mob of Tues day night, of which no trace has yet been found. Quiet has reigned all day, but the ex treme close-mouthedness that has char acterized everybody in Walsenburg and Rouse since the mob did its fatal work still continues. There is no doubt but that a very considerable number of people know thoroughly well who did the killing, but they know too welL Walsenburg has for years been a rather hard town, with an element that occasionally shows its teeth and uses its guns. These men are of more or less prominence and as it is believed they did the work, no one dares to say so or acknowledge any cognizance of the participants for fear of being him self used as a target. Walsenburg is a hamlet of but 1,000, with coal mines and miners at her doors on every side and the turbulent element is therefore large, especially since the strike of last summer, after which many miners who were steady men and had accumulated some property, moved away.

Their votes are the strongest safeguard against the profes sional politician, and if there is any one who is delighted with the small number of women registered, it is he. Remember that you must register in order to vote at the city election, though it is not necessary to register to vote at the primary tomorrow. The registration has fallen off greatly in the past three days and less than 100 registered yesterday. A week ago today 547 men and women were registered in one day.

George B. applauded Frank's singing to the echo and Frank led the cheers which greeted Swift. All this occurred at the 25th wedding anniversary of Louis Sala, the Seventh ward politician and toy dealer at the Humboldt club hall at Fourteenth and Union streets last night Three hun dred friends of Mr. Sala, among which were Mr. Swift and Mr. Wenter, were in vited, and they all came. The idea that any complication could arise from the juxtaposition of the rival mayoralty candidates never occurred to any one. The roosters were awake when the fest.vitias ended. There was great merriment when Mr. Swift took a part ner and joined in a quadrille with his rival. TROOPS STILL O.N DCTY. No Further Violence Has Taken Place at New Orleans. New Orleans, March 15. The scene along the levee today is one of bustling activity. Nearly every Bhip in port which came for the purpose of receiving car goes of cotton, is now being loaded. In fact it is not known that work is at a standstill on any vessel. Nothing occurred last night to disturb the peace of the city. The rioters re mained away from the levee and the nitrht passed without one exciting in cident. Today 300 negroes wanted to go to work, but were afraid to do so without being protected. As soon as the soldiers made their appearance on the wharf, the negroes threw off their coats and ten minutes later cotton was being stored on the Engineer, the English steamer. No opposition was made by the dozen or more white screwmen who hung around. Governor Foster was interviewed this morning by an Associated Press reporter. He stated that he would keep the mili tary on the river until all signs of dan ger had passed away. CAN'T BORROW EASILY. There Might be Difficulty in China Secur ing a Large Loan. New York, March 15. A special to the World from London says: London financial circles are much in terested in the question of the floating of the Chinese loan, if the negotiations for j i peace uepenn upon vnina paying a neavy indemnity to Japan. The last Chinese loan was almost an absolute failure on the London and con tinental markets, although it was guar anteed by the custom duties at the treaty ports. The reports of the Rothschilds and other large firms here said tonight that no proposition has been received yet from China for an indemnity loan. If it is very large there certainly will be great difficulty in negotiating it There would be less difficulty if Japan hould occupy Peking and administer the affairs of the Celestial empira TWO FIGHTS AT ST. PAUL. Jimmy Murphy of Kansas City Knocks Out Schoenburg.

Murphy knocked his man out in the thirty-third round. GIVEN A TRIAL FOR ONCE. A Negro Assaulter is Heing Given a Legal Hearing in West Virginia. Winchester, W. Va., March 15. The trial of Thornton Parker, the negro charged with assaulting Mrs. Melton, a white woman, is proceeding quietly here, though on account of the intense excitement and threats of lynching made by the negroes, the militia was called out. It is thought unlikely that there will be serious trouble. SILYER GOES UP. Certificates Sell at 62, the Highest Price for Some Time. New York, March 15.

MISPLACED PATHOS. Suit Ovtr an Erro ueous Plate in the X.ife of Blaine. New York, March 15. In the super ior court, before Judsre BeeKman, a verdict was returned yesterday for the defendant, in an action by Nathan D. Thompson against Albina Goodspeed to recover $1,122, the cost of a campaign book containing the lives of the late James G. Blaine and John A Logan, issued during the presi dential campaign. The defense was that the work was de fective and erroneous in many respects; Among other peculiarities of the work, one plate represented Blaine as a ragged boy kneeling by the bedside of his dying mother.' Blaine was 41 years old when his mother died. A poem on Logan, occupying eight pages of the work, and a chapter con taining Garfield's letter of acceptance were alleged by the defendant not to be pertinent to the character of the work as advertised. The grammatical construction of many of the sentences, and a number of mispelled words were also complained of by the defendant TESLA'S GREAT LOSS. The Electrician Goes to Work Again in Spite of It. New York, March 15. Nicola Tesla, the eiectrician whose work room and ap paratus were destroyed by fire on Wed nesday morning, was at work again last night. Although not yet recovered from the shock occasioned by his loss, he spent Beveral hours in drawing up the plans of a new invention. Mr. Tesla said that his electrical ap paratus with which he hoped to improve the electric light had been destroyed with the rest. Said he, "I have received a letter from Mr. Edison offer ing me the use of his workshop in which to continue my experiments. He has shown me the greatest kindness and consideration. I do not thing, how ever, that I will accept the offer, I shall probably within a short time secure other quarters in the city and begin my work anew." NEW PARTY A FIZZLE.

At 58 a big line of long stuff was dumped on the market and shorts took advantage of this to let the market ease off much as possible. Cables came stronger and there was a better cash de mand, 'ihere has been nothing but bull news for tho-past few weeks, and it has been of such a nature that the mar ket should have had twice the advance it has had.

Corn Opened strong with an advance of c over night, and remained quiet but firm all day, easing off slightly toward the closing, caused by heavy realizing by timid bulls, who got fright ened every time anything showed the least sign of weakness.

The Giornale today, referring to the killing of the Italians at Walsenburg, Cola, says that the Italians were certainly in the wrong if they killed Hixon, the saloon-keeper. "But," the Giornale adds, "that does not justify the summary lynching of six prisoners. The importance of the law is nevertheless evident, and it is to be hoped that the United States will act firmly and rapidly, punishing the guilty and give satisfac tion to Italy."

Forecast for EtBMs: Local snows and slightly colder tonight; Saturday fair with warmer by evening; north winds. Notwithstanding Secretary Carlisle's encouraging predictions, the govern ment's accounts continue to show a bal ance on the wrong aide of the ledger. The lower house of the New York leg islature has done two commendable things this week. It has defeated the bill establishing the whipping post, which had been passed by the senate and has passed the concurrent resolution sub mitting a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution to a vote of the people. The attorney general, who was bo ready to send troops to Chicago last sum mer, declined to order them to New Or leans on the plea that there was no inter ference with interstate commerce. The facts appear to be, however, that not only interstate commerce was being interfer ed with, but international commerce as well. The Prohibition party as at present or ganized, seems to fill all the require ments in that direction and it is difficult to sea what the organizers of the new National party at Pittsburg hope to gain by establishing another organization on this line. The fact is the people will be so busy with the money question next year that they will not have much time to devote to any other Issue. Politicians and party builders might as well make up their minds to this and get in line on one side or the other. Judging from the tone of Colonel Bill Hackney's letter, just made public, the new silver party is the place for him. He says he is a protectionist. While the new party has not declared in favor of protection it has not said anything against it. The fact is, if silver is re stored with the prosperity which is sure to follow, the people will not worry much whether there is a high tariff, low tariff, or no tariff. They understand where the taxes coma from, and they are willing to pay them, no matter how levied, if only they are permitted to earn the money with which to pay. Under our present system of trying to maintain a gold basis without an ad equate supply of gold, the treasury is no sooner out of one difficulty than it is into another. The gold hoarding process is reported to have set in again in antici pation of the requirements of China in paying the war indemnity which is de manded by Japan. As soon as it shall be known that this indemnity, amount ing to $250,000,000, is to be pakl in gold the raid on the United States treasury will begin again, as it will be the only open source of supply. But they will not take it all out, for that might force the country to a silver basis. They will merely reduce the reserve sufficiently to cause another issue of bonds and then repeat the process until the whole amount has finally been obtained. And the country may expect nothing else than that Mr. Cleveland will not only permit this, but that he will give it his aid and sanction. The gold gamblers never had a more faithful servant Suppose that the legislature had amended the prohibitory law so that the joints could run during horse races or grand army meetings or Sunday school conventions, wouldn't there be a howl from the goody good people? Yet the Cubbisoa anti-gambling law, in allowing gambling at horse races, puts this princi ple into law. Of all the overestimated men on earth J. C Cubbison takes the cake. Hutchinson Gazette. It isn't Mr. Cubbison's fault particu larly that this foolish and laugh-provoking law was passed, but the legislature's. A law that makes i certain act a crime during part of the year and harmless ether parts of the year, is a fit subject of ridicule. If It is against public welfare to gamble on horse races at all, it cer tainly is against it at all times in the year. The provision that a law may be suspended for certain period is an absurdity that hue probably never been equaled in modern legislation. Why not suspend other laws against crimes and misdemeanors the same way? said to be very polite to every passenger. but that wouldn't tax their good nature many times in Atchison. The editor of the JNorton Champion is all wrought up because he has discovered a striking similarity in passages from Bir Edwin Arnold and Shakspere. Norton county is proud because the treasurer has scrubbed and cleaned his office. That's nothing, the United States treasury has been cleaned out, too. So many tramps have been prowling around Parsons that the boys who have chores to do are afraid to go up in the loft after dark to throw down the hay. Marsh Murdock ought not to have a grouch on account of the state adminis tration when he can drive a fine Wilkes filly. The rest haven't even that consola tion. The colored people of Lawrence want a police judge and constable at the city election. If the colored people don't get what they want in Lawrence it will be because they didn't get together.

Corbett Sjs H Will Fight Jackson In Oklahoma. New Yoke, March 15. Pugilist Cor bett says that he had been trying for months to arrange a match with Bob Fitzsimmons, but he has found it im possible. He does not look to be in good condition. His face is flabby and his arms are not so hard as they used to be. Manager Brady said Corbett would meet Fitzsimmons on September 15 next, and that Corbett was putting up his own stakes for the contest On other matters Corbett said: "Now that Oklahoma has opened its gates to boxers, I am not averse to ar ranging a meeting with Jackson to take place there. He said he would meet me any place in America north, of the Mason and Dixon line. If ha was sincere when he made that statement Oklahoma is the place for our battle." Touching on the coming fight between his sparring partner, Steve O'Donnell, and Jake Kilrain, Corbett says he has been misquoted. "I never said O'Don nell would knock Jake out "It took Sullivan more than two hours to beat him, and I don't know of anybody who had a greater reputation as a knock-out than John L. O'Don nell is a very clever fighter and I think will out-point Kilrain. I never saw O'Donnell fight, but I know what ha can do, having sparred with him many times. Some men box well in friendly set toa in private, but go all to pieces in a fight before a large crowd. Whether O'Donnell will perform as well in a fight as he does in practice remains to be Been."

He is suffering with rheumatism. The lawless element of the city never were in favor of Mayor Harrison. They are against him as usual and they are all for Charlie Fellows. Why? Shorey has considerable talent in a mu sical way, and on recent occasions this fact has been demonstrated much to the credit of the musical people of the suburb. The First National bank of Topeka, by Rossington, Smith Dallas, brought a civil action in the district court today to recover $2,653 from Frank B.

Mayor Gabel is a cigar dealer, and he showed his disregard for "rings when he was eleoted, by appoint ing a woman city attorney, and also a woman city cleric. Mayor Harrison said in open council that he was mayor for all the people of the city; that he tried to rind out what the wishes of the people were and was guided by them and not by his own per sonal preferences. That is the kind of a mayor the city wants. The business men and women and their clerks and wives and husbands must all go to the polls and vote, or they may have occasion to regret it for two vears to come, l our Dest interests are at stake. Take a few minutes' time and go to the polls and vote. A light vote at the primaries tomor row might result in the nomination of Fellows for mayor which would be one of the most unfortunate disastbfS that could befall the city. A full vote will nominate Harrison by a good large ma jority, aad the city will have a good, clean, honest administration. After little Georgia Williams wa3 killed in "The Danites" last night and Miss O'Neil was telling about her dear, dead brother in the next act, she was somewhat paralyzed to see him sitting in a front row in the audience taking in the play.

HORTON FOR HARRISON. The Chief Justice Will Vote at the Prima ry for Good Government. The influential voters of Topeka are rallying to the support of Mayor Harri son, and men and women will go to the primary tomorrow who seldom give themselves any concern about the nomi nations. They know that the best inter ests of Topeka demand that Mayor Har rison should, be renominated and are will ing to work for that end. One of the men who will attend the primary and vote for Mayor Harrison is Chief justice Horton. When men like Judge Horton will go to the primary in the interest of good city government the other influential citizens should profit by his example and assist in preventing a nomination that would prove a setback for the city. T. B. Sweet and George M. Noble are two more men seldom seen at primaries who will come out and cast their votes for Mayor Harrison. A Reply to Sir. Ttllotson'a Card. To the Editor ot the State Journal: The card recently published by Mr. Tillotson in your paper in regard to bis opponents in the race for the city attor neyship, so far as Mr. M. T. Campbell is concerned, is untrue and wholly mislead ing. Mr. Campbell and I have been partners in the law practice for many years and I am familiar with the facts in the famous sewer case. There is no con test between the city and our client, who is one of the claimants for material furn ished in the construction of the sewers, and no one knows thia fact better than Mr. Tillotson. The city in Its answer in the case, sets up that such claims should be paid first, and that the city holds the funds on hand in trust for that purpose. We obtained judgment in the sewer case, not against the city and did not ask it, but against Decker, Mul lins Berry for the amount of our client's claim, and the court directed that it be paid out of the funds due them on the contracts, and that ia just what the city asked to have done. Mr. Campbell has never critized Mr. Tillotson for having assistance in the case, and thinks the council acted very wisely and prudently in also employing Mr. Isenhart, the old city attornev, "who is thoroughly conversant with all the facts in the case and who has been paid by the city to see it through all the courts to final judgment, and who is bound and thoroughly competent to do so, whoever may be elected city attor ney. Our contest is with the bank, which claims that all the money due on the sewer contracts should be paid to it, and that no part of the funds should go to the material men and laborers. The city takes the case to the supreme court be cause of the judgment rendered in favor of the bank, and not because of the allowance of our client's claim. We en tered our appearance in the supreme court in the case at Mr. Tillotson's re quest. Mr. Tillotson should at least be fair with Mr. Campbell, In whose hands the interests of the city would be as safe as in hia own.

STARTF0R LIBERIA. The Steamer Hona Will Take 200 Colored People From Savannah. Philadelphia, March 15. The Dan ish steamer Horsa passed out of the Delaware river today enroute to Savan nah. Her departure from this port makes the first step towards the emmigration of colored people from the south to Liberia. At Savannah the boat will take aboard 200 passengers, who expect to make their homes in the African republic. The emmigration movement to Liberia has been on foot for several years in the south. Back of the movement is the international Immigration society. The Horsa is a great steamer, and it is expected she will bring back a cargo from Liberia. In the lower hold has been placed 600 tons of coal and in the upper are 100 single and double berths built of wood, on each of which is a comfortable mattress and bed clothing. On the deck of the steamer have been constructed two large stoves to cook the emmigrants' food during tha voyage. The fourth ward has in Mr. H. M Phillips a candidate fo the board of edu cation a man in every way fitted for this responsible position. He has long been identified with our public school system and would be a valuable addition to the board. Subscribe for the Dally State Joubnai.

Where a corporation is heavily Indebted to its officers and stockholders, and such offi cers ana stocknoiaers enter into an agree ment to discontinue business and divide and distribute the entire capital and assets of the corporat'on among themselves in payment of the indebtedness which they hold against the corpoiation, and when in accordance with the agreement tney nave wound up the busi ness and distributed the assets and there re mains a lartre Indebtedness unnrovided for the transaction will be deemed to be invalid as to any excluded creditor. In snch case the property and aseets of the corporation will be deemed to be held in trust for the payment of me aeots 01 tae corporation, ana any ex- eluded creditor will be entitled to pur sue it into the hands of any mem ber of the corporation or other person who has taken the same with fall knowl edge of the facts; and if it has passed out of their hands, they may be compelled to ac count to such creditors and to contribute pro rata toward the payment of the unpaid debts of the corporation to the extent of the fund so misapplied. 2. Directors and managers of a corporation who are creditors of tbe same are not per mitted in closing up the business of the cor poration to make any agreement or arrange ment by which they shall secure to them selves a preference or advantage over other creditors. 3. Where trnst nronertv has been conveyed to another, the trust cannot be enforced against the property itself without making the one to whom it was conveyed a party to the action; but bis presence is not indispen sible where it is sought to compel the one who wronpfully received and transferred the prop erty to account for the fund so received and misapplied by him. 4. Where there appears to be a defect of parties upon the face of the petition the de fendant may demur thereto upon that grouod and where the petition does not disclose the defect ihe objection may be taken by answer; but if no objection is taken either by de murrer or answer, the defendant is deemed to have waived the same. 6. Before an action upon a judgment in fa vor of a corporation had become barred by the statute of limitations, a receiver of the corporation was appointed with power to take possession of all the property and to collect all claims and demands due to the same, who brought an action upon the same judgment which remained pending until the receiver was discharged Held, That the statute of lim itations did not rug during the. pendency of the action brought by the receiver. 6. A judgment of the United States circuit court for the district of Kansas occupies the same footing as a judgment of the state court, and may be made the basis of a creditor's bill or other like equitable action in the state court brought to protect the rights of credit tora in a trust fund which has been wrong fully appropriated or misapplied. 7. Where a case-made is settled and signed without notice to one of the parties the at tempted settlement is a nullity, but the in valid effort to settle does not prevent the judge from settling and signing the same case at any time within the period allowed by law upon a notice duly given to the parties upon whom the case was served.

By the Coubt. Johnston, J 1. An action by an executor against a co executor, charging maladministration, and asking for a removal from the trust, cannot be properly joined with an action for an ac counting of a partnership in which the estate has an interest with another person not con nected with the estate. 2. Where an action is brought against an executor of an estate in his representative ca pacity, no Individual liability can be estab lished or adjudged against him. 3. As a general rnle, one executor is not an swerable for the neglect or bad faith of co executors.but where one by his own negligence suffers another to waste the estate when by the exercise of reasonable diligence he could have prevented it, he will be held responsible for the loss. 4. In an action to obtain an accounting of a partnership business in which the estate is interested, all cf the executors should join as plaintiffs, but where such action is brought by one alone, and tbe other executors are made defendants, and no question is raised on ac count of the misjoinder, before judgment is rendered, the failure to name them as plain tiffs is not a fatal objection. 5. Where the estate was in partnership with I. and there was a provision in his will authorizing the executors "to continue my present business as long as they may deem best," and the executors determine to con tiue the partnership business in accordance with the will, and do carry on the business upon the same terms as it was during the life time of the testate. Held, That the effect of the arrangement was to create a new partner ship composed of the executors of the estate on one part and of I. on the other. 6. It is the duty of partners to devote their time and best endeavors to carry on the part nership business and promote the prosperity of the firm, and in the absence of any special agreement between them as to the division of labor each should give time and attention to the conduct of the business without compen sation and without regard to the relative value of the seivlces of the relative partners. 7. Where the partners share alike in the control and labor of the partnership business, one of them cannot sit -passively by, indiffer ent to the Interests of the firm, and after neg lecting to use reasonable diligence himself hold tbe other partner responsible to the firm for a like indifference or negligence. 8. Where one of the main questions in Issue is with respect to the negligence of those in charge ot a business, it is error to admit in ev idence the opinions of witnesses as to whether or not such person had exercised due dili gence.

An issue of law may arise either on the pleadings, an agreed statement of facts, the report of a referee, special verdict of a jury, or findings of fact by the court, and where no issue of fact is raised, or where all issues of fact have been tried and determined, Issues of law alone remain, and the decision of the trial court thereon can be reviewed here without a motion for a new trial having been filed below. 8. A deed of general warranty in the usual form conyeying lands for the expressed con sideration of the sum of one dollar and other good and valuable considerations, and a written contract, executed at the same time, by which the grantee in consideration of the deed agrees to do certain acts and provides that in case of failure to perform such con tract the deed shall become void and the lands conveyed revert to the grantor, both in struments being acknowledged and recorded at the same time, are to be treated aa one and construed together. 4.

STATE JOURNAL. FRIDAY EVENING, MAKUH 15, 1S95. HONEY TO THE BIRDS. That' Where Fellows Promises To Throw Our Cash TOMORROW'S PRIMARY How the Republican Primaries WU1 Be Held. .J,ULlMJIWJJ''.''L''.i UIJIM4JUIm.JU .HLWEimuT h llimjJJIL IJUU..I jii,.,...,,!,, IHE3 HE GETS IHTO OFFICE. To Secure Votes He Has Told His Fol lower That the City Treasury Shall Be Open to Ihena. Men who claim to know, Bay that Mayor Harrison will be nominated to morrow with plenty of votes to spare. The Fellows workers have lost heart and one of them said yesterday that nothing can now prevent the nomination of Mayor Harrison, unless the weather is very bad and the business men and women will not attend the primary. Another of his 'heelers' said that Fellows would be nominated by 200 majority. The First ward has been considered a Fellows stronghold, but within the past week there has been a great change and the Harrison men say that they will car ry the ward by a good round majority. As long as the people were indifferent. Fellows appeared to be ahead, but when the voters were awakened to the situa tion and the danger that Buch a nomina tion would entail became known, the cur rent set in the other way and it is evi dent that the people of the First ward are in favor of good city government and the renomination of Mayor Harrison. In the Sucond Ward. In the Second ward the Fellows boom first found footing, and the Fellows workers made a canvass of the ward early in the campaign. They claimed that the result was very gratifying, but if they could make a canvass of the ward now, they would not be so well pleased. They made the most unreason able statements imaginable, and worked on the prejudices of the voters, but the people cannot be fooled all the time, and they are finding out they were deceived. They were told that Mayor Harrison saved $15,000 which should have been paid the laboring men and which was left unused in the city treasury. This falsehood was believed by some, but there were others who had read the State Journal and who knew it was not true. Every cent of money in the treasury was used to pay the street force and the city would have had to go in debt in order to spend more money. Mayor Harrison actually furnished more employment than had been fur nishet when the city spent more money and went into debt. He did this by giv ing work to men "week about" and while the individual income was not so large more men were furnished the means to support their families through the winter. In tho Fourth Ward. The Fourth ward is the home of Fel lows and two weeks ago he claimed the ward two to one. Now his workers Bay they will consider themselves fortunate if they carry the ward by a small major ity. And if the talk among the better 3ment of the Fourth ward is any cri terion, he won't carry it at alL In the Third Ward. The Third ward is Harrison's home and it is conceded on all sides that he will carry the ward by a big margin, la the .Firth Ward. The Fifth ward is also conceded to II arrison. There has been a great, change in this ward and it is now said that it is difficult to find a single person in Martin Dennis addition who is for Fellows. There is no doubt that the people of Topeka want to see the city affairs con ducted on a business basis, and that is why they are for Mayor Harrison. No one who is interested in Topeka wants to Bee the city crippled by the reckless expenditure of money to reward politi cal services. Promises of such reward are being made by the supporters of Fellows with a recklessness which must even startle that gentleman himself if he would stop to think. It is different with Mayor Harrison. He will not make a single promise. The politician who goes to him for a prom ise of position leaves disappointed. He Bays that the interests of the city demand that the hands of the mayor should not be tied by any ante-election promises. The welfare of the city is his first considera tion. An example of Mayor Harrison's meth ods of conducting the administra tion of the city is shown by the follosisf ,Jaot: When he was elected mayor, the first thing ho did was to take an inventory of the floating prop erty of the city, and to see where useless expenditures could be cut off. He also ordered the sale of all the unused or re jected articles and the proceeds turned into the citj4iaasury. This is only an example of the business methods of Mayor Harrison. When a man has made that kind of a record during the portion of one term that he has been mayor, what a fearful mistake it would be to turn him down for a man who is conducting his cam paign on the basis of a reckless expen diture of money. The people of Topeka should not make that mistake. SUFFRAGISTS DEFEATED. In Illinois Women Com Very Nau Gala lug: Fraachln In Townships. Spbingfield, 111., March 15. Tho woman suffragists were defeated in the Benate yesterday. They came so near to victory that their defeat was all the more disappointing. The bill for which the women have been fighting was Sen ator Coon's bill granting them the right to vote for township officers. Nearly a month ago this measure, by a very close vote, failed to pass. A motion to recon sider was entered and the consideration of this motion has been postponed from week to week until today. A delegation of Chicago Republican women have been here for a week lobby ing for the measure, and before the Ben- ate met this morning they were able to count a sufficient number of friendly senators to reconsider and pass their Bin. iwenty-sxx votes are required in the senate to reconsider the vote by which a bill fails to pass. The women were sure of twenty-seven, but when the roll was called only twenty-five votes were recorded in favor o"f their bill. while there were thirteen against it, and iney were una Die to secure a reconsid eration. Two of the senators upon whom they had been rlying refrained from Toting. Bran Co. $3 hat. 805 Kansas avenue. Spring suitings now on, $17.50 and up.

'The Danites" improves on acquaint- anca There was another big audience at the Grand last night and it was appreciative. The Alexander McGee or Mr. Kankm met favor with every line, as Mr. Rankin's work easily does. An observing specta tor can see very little to criticise in it. It is true to nature and the work of an art ist. What is art but nature reproduced? The poet, artist or actor that gets away from Nature is leaving behind him the only true model and using a false one. A woman is entitled to more grace, more sentiment and a more extended cir cle of dramatic license on the stage owing to her deeper emotions, but Miss Patrice O JNeu as Nancy Williams can not be accused of using too much of it Miss O'Neill has an unusual amount of the dramatic instinct and is ambitious. That is the best that can be said af any young actor. Emotional roles suit her. As the adventuress in the Canuck she is not successful. Tonight Mr. Rankin will repeat his "Canuck," in which he appears as Jean Cadeaux, one of his greatest parts. This is the same piece he played Wednesday night. There will bea matinee Saturday afternoon, and Dickens' "Oliver Twist" will be given. The piece for Saturday night is a dra matization of Dickens' David Copper- hela, ana is called ".Little .Emily.

Mrs. George Himmell Released From the Clutrg9 of Insanity. Mrs. Maggie Himmell, wife of George Himmell, who resides at 1828 Filmore street, was tried in the probate court yes terday for insanity, but was released. Mrs. Himmell is forty-nine years of age. The complaint was made by tho family and was caused by threats they say she has made to kill herself. For three years they say, she has been doing and saying queer things. She is very emo tional at times but appeared perfectly sane at the trial and the jury discharged her. It seems to be generally conceded that John L.

It is not so large nor are its meetings as enthusiastic as they were when there were hourly telegrams encouraging them to "stand firm" and daily meetings of the same bent, but it is alive yet and the meetings, while they ae not so frequent nor so large, are interesting. They Have become a sort of reunion in fact, when the boys in blue greasy meet and tell about the hard fought battle that came so near ending disastrously to them and Jheir dear cause. At one time when R J. Sloat was presi dent and the excitement had reached its zenith, there were in the Topeka organi zation in the neighborhood of 95!) men. None of them have lost their member ship by withdrawal, though a vast major ity have stopped attending the meetings, and are not active members. Very little more than one hundred of the old members are still active partici pants in the meetings. H. It Jones is president; Frank Whit aker is financial secretary, and Harry Chapman is the recording and corres ponding secretary.
