THEY WEHE EXPECTED There Were Six of Them in the Party. The Whole Affair Was Over in Ten Minutes. Greenwood, Ky., March 27. One of the most daring and at the same time most unsuccessful attempts at train rob bery occurred at 2:30 a. m. today in the southern part of Kentucky when six men undertook to rob the south bound train No. 8, Quean Crescent, which left Cin cinnati at 8 p. m. last night One of the six was killed outright; another died at 4 o'clock this morning and a third giving the name of Miller, now lies here severely wounded. The other three have not been heard from. The train was delayed not more than ten minutes and reached Chattanooga at 8 a. m. today on time. The reason fcr this summary disposal of a body of train robbers is found in the fact that some tidings of the purpose had been g iven to the railroad or express authorities, and that Mr. T. R Griffin, who serves as superintendent of police on the southern road had with him two' trusty assistants. The train had just reached the south end of tunnel No. i), which is a mile north of Greenwood, when the robbers signalled ir, to stop. They had scarcely disclosed their purpose until Mr. Griffin and his assistants on the train began of fensive operations, and in ten minutes three of the robbers had bitten the dust, the others had flown and the train was speeding on its way. Not a single inju ry was suffered by any one on the train. Of course the treasure in care of the Adams Eipress company's messenger was entirely safe. THE ENGINEER'S STORY. One Mao Kept Him Co to red With a Re- volver All the Time. Chattanooga, Tenn.. March 27. Cin cinnati Southern train No. 8 arrived here on time today, although it stopped a few minutes to kill three train robbers. A Naws representative met the train on its arrival here and obtained the fol lowing interviews from the conductor and engineer. Engineer Tom Springfield has been running on the road for a number of years, and is regarded as a very reliable engineer. This is his first experience with train robbers, and he told the following story: "We were coming along on time, engine 586 iaahumoer and Rankin, my fireman was keeping her hot. We had mail, express and baggage car, a smoker, two day coaches and two sleepers. We left Somerset on time. I slowed down a little as we ran through the tunnel No. 9, about ten miles south of Somerset in Pulaski county, Ky. "About 300 yards this side of the tun nel a man on the track with a white lan tern flagged me down. "This is one of the loneliest spots on the entire road. You know it is up in the rough and rugged mountain districts of Kentucky. There is not a house within two miles of the place. In fact I do not know of a house that is nearer than Greenwood. That little sta tion was about two miles to the south. The road somewhat curves, and alto gether a better place could not have been selected for a train robbery. The fellow in front kept swinging his lantern. He stood in the center of the track. I could not imagine what was the matter." "Did you think of train robbers?" "No, I did not." "Did you suppose that a freight wreck was ahead?" "No I did not I did not think any thing. I juat saw the fellow swinging his lantern and I stopped the train. I did not ge anybody else. When I stopped to see what he was swinging the lantern for the fellow climbed Tnto the cab and said: "Stand here till I tell you to go on, and pointed a pistol at me. "lie i i t otuuu uu irnj leu nana siae or the cab. He looked like a desperado. As near as I can recollect, he had a big black mous tache, a slouch hat and rather seedy clothes. He looked like a rough coun tryman, The fellow did not say another word, bat kept his pistol pointed at mc." "Did he not seem alarmed when the shooting was going on?" "No, he just kept standing there with his pistol pointed at me. I don't know what kind of a pistol it was, but it was a big one." With thin the brave engineer straight ened out his hand and placed hisleft hand almost to his right elbow to show the length of the robber's pistoL It might have been a horse pistoL "Rankin, my fireman," continued Springfield, looked out of the cab on his side and said: 'They've killed two of them.' But the fellow kept me covered with his bi g gun and did not say a word. After one cr two more shots were heard up in front the robber dropped from the cab and eaid 'Go ahead.' "I opened the throttle and we ran into Cumberland Falls about four mile fur ther down." When asked why he did not shoot the robber as he left the engine, Mr. Spring field said neither he nor his fireman had any weapons of any kind. "After the fellow told me to go ahead we had gone but a short distance when Kankm found a wounded man on the tender. We stopped at Cumberland Falls, four miles from the tunnel, and put him off, leaving him in the telegraph office. He was badly shot in the arm and side. He said that he was a tramp stealing a ride and that he was not with the train robbers, but we do not believe it We were not stopped by the robbers more N1GI1T EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS.

That's all I know about it and dont want to ex perience any more fellows standing in .my, cab and pointing a big pistol at me." Engineer Springfield is a citizen of Chattanooga and resides on Montgomery avenue. TWO MEN PLEASED. A Result of the Company's New Detec tive Service. Cincinnati, O., March 27. The men wearing the broadest smiles here today are General Manager Carroll oi tne Queen and Crescent route and General Manager Barratt of the Adams Express company. It is all on account of the ex traordinary occurrence at 2:30 this morn ing near Greenwood, Ky., where, in the mountains, 175 miles irom Cincinnati and 23 miles from the state line between Tennessee and Kentucky, the south bound train was stopped by six robbers just as it emerged from the mouth of a tunnel. General Manager Carroll has no details of how the battle began or what the tac tics were, his dispatches being of the briefest form, dealing only with the main facts of the great victory. He is proud of the fact that this ef fective service was performed under the immediate direction of their special agent in charge of the police department of the road. General Manager Barrett of the Adams express company, who is also delighted with the brief story of. the affair, which has reached him in about the same form as it came to the railway officials, says he looks upon this as an important event The express company has adopted the plan of secret service to protect its prop erty against robbers. This is the first re sult of the new method. While it is costly, it is infinitely more effective than any amount of lynx9d eyed detective business employed to ar rest and punish robbers. Prevention, he thinks, in the matter is better than cure. Superintendent Barratt says the robbers could have had no knowledge of the amount of money carried by the train, that they made their attack as a pure venture He declines to say what would have been their reward if they had been successful BRUBAKER AND WATSON. They W re Hound Over Today for Trial for Stealing; Lun Seal's Ho& Almost the whole community of Valen cia is in Topeka today in attendance as witnesses and spectators at the trial of Amos Brubaker and C. M. Watson. Brubaker and Watson are charged with stealing half a dozan hogs, et al, from Lon Beal of that town. They were arrested about ten days ago and this was simply their preliminary examination. They did not try to prove an alibi and introduced very litttle evidence for- them selves and were bound over in the sum of $500 each which they are trying to give. BICYCLING IN THE AIR. Madison Square Garden Turned Into a Cycling; Academy. Chicago, March 27. The famous Madison Square roof garden in New York has been released by Spualding Bros., the Chicago sporting goods firm, and will be transferred into a cycling academy. Bicycling in the air is a decided inno vation, and as the roof garden is roomy, the place is expected to become very popular with the New York wheelmen. Contracts have been signed and the ne cessary alterations will be made at once. REGENTS IN SESSION. Officers Were Elected and the New Phy sics Building was Received. Lawrence, Kansas, March 27. The Kansas University board of regents is in its regular session. The reorganization placed Chancellor F. H. Snow as its president, Judge J. II. Sams vice presi dent. Senator Charles F. Scott, secretary. This morning was spent in the trans fer of the new physics building by the board of public works to the regents. The afternoon session was devoted to reports of heads of departments. The board will be in session several days. JUST RIGHT TOMORROW. It will be Fair as Today but Much Cooler. If Mr. Jennings', prognostications in regard to the weather are as correct as they are well founded it will be cooler tomorrow but fair. There has been a general rise in tem perature over the central states west of the Mississippi except in northern Mon tana and North Dakota where there has been a decided fall. At Topeka it was 'warm this morning the mercury standing at seventy-nine above and is .warmer still this afternoon, the thermometer registering eighty -four. BEGINS WORK FRIDAY. The Penitentiary Committee Will Hold Its First Session Then. The penitentiary investigation com mittee has decided to commence busi ness Friday morning and its first session will be held at the state house in some room to be assigned for that purpose.

HEISNQIFOR SILVER McKinley's Statement in Regard to It Confirmed. He Thinks There is No Middle Ground for Him. TO START I1IS BOOM. Kohlsaat to Buy a New York Paper With That Intention. It Will Support Gov. McKinley and a Gold Standard, i Cincinnati, March 27. The Jackson ville correspondent of the Enquirer con firms the statement that Major McKinley said if the Republican party declared for silver he would not be a candidate for the presidency. Governor McKinley thinks there is no middle ground for him to occupy. The Enquirer man also sends this about Mr. Kohlsaat: "H. IL Kohlsaat, the Chicago million aire business man, was a guest at the Hanna villa in Thomasville during Mc Kinley's stay. His presence there and his frequent talks with Editor Joseph Mediil gave rise to the rumor that he was still endeavoring to se cure the Chicago Tribune, with the ulte rior design of making that famous Re publican sheet a McKinley-protection-gold organ. I received his personal assurance a couple of days ago that he had com-; pletely surrendered that hope. Chicago is not the field in which he aspires to shine as a molder of public opinion. He is now negotiating for the purchase of one of the oldest and most influential newspaper properties in New York, and expects ere long to complete that deal. His plans have progressed so far that he has selected the editorial and manag erial staffs, and is ready to begin active operations on the day that the transfer is made. The policy has already baen de termined upon. It will support McKin ley for president upon a platform declar ing for protection and sound money, which, according to Mr. Kohlsaat's views, consists in a currency based upon a gold standard. The financial department of the editorial writings is to be in charge of a gentleman of national fame, who is expected to educate the public with conservative screeds based upon a pronounced stand in favor of a gold standard. .When the advanced views of Mr. Kohlsaat on the currency question are fully understood, and when it is known that he will support no one who does not subscribe to them, additional proof that McKinley is opposed to free silver is produced in public." TO S AYE THE W ELL-TO-DO. Salvation Army Kilters a New Field of Effort. New York, March 27. The Salvation Armv inaugurated a new departure in j New York in its work of saving souls, j It held the first meeting of a series in one of the prosperous churches at Har lem, the Calvary Methodist Episcopal church at Seventh avenue and 129th street Sunday. The object of the meet ings is, according to Commander Bal lington Booth, who has charge of them to reach "a higher and more aristocratic section of socie-ty, where the people are often quite as much in need of religious awakening as those in the meshes of slumdom." "We are going to fire some hot shot from this rail," he said at the afternoon service, and he said later to the reporters that he was going to speak some plain truths to the audiences, especially those, in the evenings, and to put facts quite as bluntly as he puts them in the typical Salvation Army meetings. "I am going to show," he said, "that it makes no dif ference to God whether one walks Fifth avenue in broadcloth or labors in rags, and that the dwellers behind red cur tains in palatial residences are in as much need of salvation as the poor peo ple among whom we work. Yes, this is something of a departure from our usual work; but the pastors are with us and want it done. Several have been to me and have said: 'You put matters plainly and we'll be with you; we're back of you THE PRAIRIES BURN. Destructive Fires Sweeping: Over Parts of Indian Territory. Kansas Citv, March 26. A special to the Star from Perry, Ok., says: Terrible prairie fires have been raging for several days in Otoe and Ponca Indian reserva tions, several miles north of Perry. It was reported here today that a num ber of Indian wigwams were burned late yesterday evening in the Otoe reserva tion, and one Indian was burned to death. The fires have done great dam age, and with the prevailing high wind much more is looked for. THROUGH 28 DEGREES. The Scottish Rite Masons Are Putting: Through a Class of Nine. The Scottish Rite Masons are in semi annual re-union today. The celebration began yesterday and will not conclude until Friday. The chief feature of the event is the "putting through" of a class of nine masons. Scottish Rite Masonry extends from the fourth to the thirty second degrees. This afternoon the work is on the eighteenth degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. C. B. Hamilton is presiding as wise master. Yesterday Mayor T. W. Harrison as venerable mas ter.'officiated.

Bond of Mc Louth; Chaplin T. W. Barry, U. a A, Fort Riley; Benjamin Urbansky, Law rence; William Busby, John W. Truitt, Elihu Green and Jesse C Chambers of Parsons. j BOOTH PRAISED HIM. How John Griffith, Who Plays in "Faust" Gained His Good Will. One winter night six years ago Edwin Booth was playing Richard III in New York City. A young man who was playing the part of Catesby and had not been on the stage very long stood watching the performance fiom the wings. It was getting to the conspiracy scene and Booth, calling off the stage, said, "what, ho; Buckingham." Booth was calling to the entrance in which stood the young Catesby. Catesby looked around quickly, saw no Buckingham, and remembered that he had not been on the stage that night The situation was critical, but Catesby was equal to it. Picking up Buckingham's lines in a wait of less than five seconds, he went on and finished as Buckingham that night. Later in the performance the real Buckingham appeared, but was dis charged by Mr. Booth, who said to the transformed Catesby, "You did well, my boy; keep that part" And he did. The quick witted Catesby of that even ing, was the John Griffith who appears at the Grand this evening as .Me phis to in "Faust." This is Griffith's fourth season out with Faust and he is only twenty-six years, old. He is very angry with Morrison, his rival. "I have good reason to be," he said today. "He has tried to do me all the damage he could. In Cincinnati he wrote personal letters to the newspaper critics asking them to roast me. Of" course they did not do it after that We played at Colum bus, Ohio, in the fall. Morrison's company was to play there this month, five months' later. When we were billed, tha.town was literally covered with one sheet posters, reading 'Wait for Morrison. This fellow is an imposter. The play is illegitimate and the actor is unknown.' That was as good as we wauted. We opened to $600, whereas, without that incident, being strangers, we would not have had $150. And we had good busi ness the re3t of the week." Griffith is not particularly enthusiastic about his audience tonight "I am un known in Topeka, although I have played the town before once with Bar rett, once with Keeoe. and once with Faust,' three years ago, and do not ex pect to do much business this time," he said. I shall please them the best 1 can though, and will be back early next fall to do some business." Griffith met with a good reception in St Joseph Monday night, and the papers spoke well of him. He will be at the Grand tomorrow night also. GERMAN MISSION FILLED. A New Representative Is Sent to the Venezuelan Government. Washington, March 27. Advices re ceived here state that Germany has 3ent a new minister to Venezuela and that he has passed through New York to his new post This is regarded as the first step toward an adjustment of the trouble arising over the departure from Venezuela of the ministers of Spain, Germany, France and Belgium because they had united in a communication to their governments re flecting on the president and officers of Venezuela. The minis' ers of Spain and Germany withdrew voluntarily and those of France and Belgium wero politely given their passports. France assumed a somewhat belligerent aspect, sending a gunboat to take her minister. The subject has been watched with interest by the state depart ment, owing to the part the United States has taken in the boundary contest between Venezuela and Great Britain. BULLETS LESS DEADLY. Disease Carries Off Troops in the Panama Country. New York, March 27. A special dis patch from Panama says: The govern ment has issued a bulletin claiming a victory over the rebels at Boyaca. It was a costly one, however, for out of the 3,000 troops under Gen. Reyes, which formed the expedition, 1,500 dropped off through fatigue or disease during the march, and of the remaining 1,500 which gave battle to the rebels, 7ou were killed before victory rested with the govern ment forces. THE ROGERS COMMITTEE. The Men to Look Into His Conduct Nam ed Today. The legislative committee which is to investigate Cy Leland's charges against Senator Rogers wa9 named this afternoon. The members of the commit tee are Senators Wilcockson and Cook and Representatives Moore, of Saline, Pancake of Scott, and Warner of Chero kee. AFTER P1LCHER NOW.

It is said this afternoon that the next institution to be investigated will be the Winfield home for Idiotic and Imbecile youth of which Dr. F. Hoyt Pilcher is superintendent Editor Ed. P. Greer of the Winfield Courier, who-ventilated that institution during the last campaign, is here this afternoon. THE VENEZUELAN AWARD. It Will Be Paid in Installments of 9'48,000 Each. Washington, March 27. Minister Andrade of Venezuela, one of the Ven ezuelan claims commission, has given notice of dissenting opinion from the award of the commission made yester day. The dissent will be in writ ing and will be tiled in a day or two. It will not, however, vary Venezuela's purpose to pay the award according to the finding of a ma jority of the commission, but will be a statement from the Venezuelan stand point. The congress of that country is now in session, and it is expected that the first installment of the award will be included in the budget of this year. The treaty provides that the award is to be paid in five annual installments, each of which will be $28,300. A Ouches Jljins- London, March 27. The dowager aacasga ol uucciouca is dying. CQLORAOOOODLERS A Terrible Condition in the Af fairs of the State, Has Been Unearthed by the Investigating Committee. THE STATE PRINTER Said to Have Got a Large Amonnt of Plunder. A Clerk Received $4,000 as Extra Compensation. Denver, March 27. The house 'Lexow' committee submitted its report today. It arraigns the ex-secretary of state, ex-attorney general, ex-superintendent of public instruction, ex-state boiler inspector, and the present fish commissioner Callicotte for irregular j and unlawful practices. j The state printing job is fully venti- j lated, the report saying: "We find gross j extravagance and carelessness to have i prevailed in the matter of giving orders to the state printers for printing. A clerk in the secretary of state's office under regular salary, the commit tee finds, received $4,000 as extra com pensation for work performed in six months with the aid of his daughter. IS NO PLEURO-PNEUMONIA. Inspector Devoe Makes That Statement To Secretary Morton. Washington, March 27. As soon as the department of agriculture was ud vised by Gov. Morrill, of Kansas, of an alleged outbreak of contagious pleuro pneumonia in that state, Secretary Mor ton detailed Traveling Inspector W. S. Devoe, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, to proceed at once to Kansas and ascertain all of the facts and his report states posi tively there is no pleuro-pneumonia in the state, and that the suspected animals are free from the dread disease. A thorough investigation was made by him in Kansas. His dispatches to Secre tary Morton state most positively that there was nothing in the history of animals, nothing in thoir appearance and nothing discovered in post mortem examination, either by the local veterinarians or ny trie department inspector, which indicated remotely that thev were affected with the contagious pleuro-pneumonia. Ihe officials at the agricultural aepart- ment have maintained Irom tne nrst that it is impossible for the disease in question to break out in Kan sas, because the contagion had never existed in that section of the country and there have been no recent importa tions of cattle by which it could have been carried there. The dispatches sent from Kansas al leging pleuro-pneumonia, the depart ment officers say, is a result or an error occurring because the state veterinarian was unable to determine the nature of some disease in cattle that was caused by local conditions. WANTS TO GO AHEAD. Senator King- Would Investigate State In stitutions Regardless of the Money. Senator L. P. King, of Cowley county, chairman of the senate committee which was appointed to investigate the state boards, and which was aimed directly at the Populist state board of railroad as sessors, is in Topeka today. Although the legislature failed to make an appropriation for this important in vestigation. Senator King Delievea it is the duty of the committee to go ahead with its work, and trust to a future leg islature for their- pay. Senator King has written to all the members of the committee 'stating his views of the matter, and he telegraphed each member of the committee to meet him here today. The members of the committee are Senators King, Taylor, Landis, Scott, and Wilcockson. Senator Taylor is now serving as a member of the penitentiary investigation committee, and Senator Wilcockson ia now a member of the state board of charities, which would likely hinder him from serving as a member of the committee. MAY BE GOY. CRAWFORD. The Topeka Ei-Goveruor May be Placed on the I)awes Indian Commission. A Washington dispatch announces that Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford may be appointed a member of the Dawes commission by President Cleve land, If there is one man who knows more than any other about the Indians it is Governor Crawford and that is the reason he has urged for a place, on the commission. The dispatch says: "Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford, of Kansas, left for home today, but he may be compelled to return soon and receive instructions as a member of the Dawes commission. There is a movement on foot to have him made a member of that commission; it has been working for some time in a quiet way and it comes from those who want something done by the commission in time to place some reasonable and prac ticable scheme before congress at the next session. "It is insisted that some one should be appointed who would be able to do busi ness with the Indians and the combin ation of whites running that country. This being the claim in support of Mr. Crawford, the president is being urged to give just this one place to the man who would be able to do business, even if he is not in line for pie from the ad ministration and even if he is a Repub lican." liiasetl Will Ketlre April 4. Washington. March 27. Po'smaster General Bissell will retire from office on Thursday, April 4, when Mr. Wilson, his successor, will formally take charge. TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NOT KNOWN IN HAWAII. The Island Government Uninformed Re garding A flairs in Washing-ton. San Fbancisco, March 27. The steam ship Australia arrived today from Hono lulu. The latest Hawaiian advices con tain no reference to the demand made by Secretary Gresham for the recall of Minister Thurston, and it is evident that no knowledge of this latest' diplomatic incident has reached the Hawaiian peo ple. Whether the Hawaiian government has any knowledge of the state of affairs at W ashington is simply a matter of con- The following is from the special cor- respondent of the Associated Press at Honolulu: k Martial Jaw was declared off March L riM :i v ia iuo limitary uouiuiisiua una ueou x adjourned and the larger part of the 190 prisoners brought bsfore this body are now working out their sentences in quar ries or on the roads. Interest in the oast few days has cen tered principally in the sessions of the advisory couucil which has been pass ing laws bearing directly upon the re cent rebellion. A law of no little inter est to the deported contingent makes it unlawful for any person to land in the Hawaiian Island from any vessel from any foreign port, who is a criminal or a refugee from justice, or who has been convicted of crime, or been under arrest for a criminal offense, and has departed or escaped from the Hawaiian islands i i order to avoid trial, or who has been de ported from the Hawaiian islands by order of the president or marshal, in time of martial law, or who has been banished by sentence of any court, unless such person shall have received permission from the minister of foreign affairs so to land. Violation of this law by an attempt to land on the islands is punishable by a term of imprisonment at hard labor not exceeding two years and a fine of, not exceeding $5,000. The question of the disposition of Liliuokalani is causing rumors, but the government officials state nothing has been done or suggested other than is already in force. Attorney General Smith on being asked what dis position was to be made of the ex-queen, said: "She is already disposed oi. No advances have been made to the govern ment on ner part one win De Kepi where she is." The appropriation to cover the ex penses of the rebellion have been raised, $15,000, and will undoubtedly reach $100,000 before all bills are paid. TO PUNISH HIS ASSASSIN. Japan is. Anxious to Mete Out the Severest Penalty. New York, March 27. A special dispatch from Shanghai says: The fol lowing is a translation of an imperial rescript published in a special issue of the Japanese Official Gazatte, in connec tion with the attempt upon the life of Li Hung Chang: "China is now in a state of war- with our country, but she has, with a due ob servance of the forms of international etiquette sent an ambassador for the con clusion of peace. We, on our part, named our plenipotentiaries who were instructed to meet him and negotiate at Shimoneski. "Thus it was incumbent upon Us, in pursuance with international usage to afford the ambassador treatment con-' sistent with the national honor and to ac cord him a suitable escort for his pro tection. We consequently gave orders to all functionaries to use the utmost diligence and it is therefore with pro found grief that we now have to express our regret that a ruffian should have dared to inflict personal injury upon the Chinese ambassador. "The culprit must receive the severest punishment provided by law. Our offi cial subject must respect our wishes to preserve the glory of our country 'un tarnished and must provide against tho recurrence of such violence." The rescript is signed by the emperor and countersigned by his ministers. Ttlr. Ienis on Hia Wedding; Trip. Vice President II. L.

There ia a rumor which seems to be well authenti cated, that the engagement of Miss Brice, daughter of the Ohio senator, to Henry Outrani Bax-Ironsides, second secretary of the British Embassay, will soon be an pounced. The attentions to Miss Brice of the young English diplomat, who has been here only about a year, have been very marked during the past winter.

Now, as shown by lexi cographers who have had the advantage of a technical acquaintance with facta relating to the origin of the word, Welsh rabbit is merely a slang term, and not a corruption at all.

ONLY THE WALLS LEFT A Number of Persons Injured While Trying to Escape. Chicago, March 27. A fire which broke out in the basement of the Bell clothing house on the corner of State and Quincy street yesterday destroyed the entire contents of the establish ment above the' second floor and left only the walls of the building from that floor to the ground standing. Oc curring at the busiest hour of the day, with the store crowded with customers and employes and the flames running through the building like a train of powder, filling every nook and corner with their smoke it was remarkable that no lives were lost. In attempting to escape from the building the follow ing persons were injured: C H. Smith, leg broken in jumping from the second floor window and bruised about the body; Dick Burns, elevator boy, slight ly burned about the face; Grace Mer tell, a clerk, bruised by a fall and car ried from the building; Helen Caesar, elerk in store adjoining the burning building, overcome by smoke. Samuel Cohn, a salesman, and John Dichel, the engineer, had narrow es capes from death. They were on the third floor of the building and did not hear the alarm of fire when first given. Both men tried to get down stairs and were about to jump, but the shouts of the crowd below warned them not to do so. It became too hot for them in the window and both men, grasping- a sign which extended across the build ing just below the third story windows, Swung off and held on to the sign until they were taken down by the firemen. Charles Smith,' another employe, was Injured by falling from the second story. He stepped outside to a window ledge and made an effort to reach, a window in the next building. The crowd of spectators discerned how fruitless would be the undertaking and the excitement among them was in tense, as they warned the man at the window to remain where he was. Smith, however, missed his footing and fell, striking the flag Atone feet fore most and fracturing one of his legs. Miss Grace Martell, employed by the clothing company, was on the fourth floor w-hen the flames burst through the floor. She fainted and had to be carried from the burning structure. When brought out into the fresh air, the woman was soon revived. The loss on the building was 16,000, and the stock $150,000. The building was insured for $30,000 and the stock for $80,000.

"He related to me," Mr. Dawitt added. "the same colloquy Mr. Clampitt now gives between nimseif ana the poor woman, but the colloquy took place In the cell of the condemned woman just before she was taken to the scaf fold and not on the scaffold itself. She wished to state to the soldiers who had come to conduct her to her death. that she was innocent, and in their pres ence and hearing, asked her priest to be allowed to do so, when he replied: ".No, my child, the world and all that la in it has now receded forever. It would do no good and it might disturb the aereniiy of your last momenta. But Father Wal ter in hia Interview with me went no further. He intimated nothing to the effect of any such condition being at tached to hia presence with the con demned woman, as Mr. Clampitt now says he Btated to him.

Ten per sons were arraigned before the court charged with murdering a woman named Clear y because they supposed her to be a witch. The prison ers included the murdered wom an's husband and father. The evidence showed that Mrs. Cleary was suffering from nervousness and bronchitis, and her husband, believing her to be bewitched and in order to exorcise the evil spell obtained a con coction from a herbalist of the neigh borhood. Then, while the other pris oners held the unfortunate woman in bed, her husband forced the obnoxious concoction of herbs down her throat. After this the suffering1 woman was held over a fire and dreadfully burned, until she declared in the name of God that she was not Cleary's wife. This torture was repeated on the following day, but the woman refused to conform to her husband's requests, whereupon he knocked her down, stripped' off. her clothing, poured paraffin over her body, then lighted it, and the woman burned to death in the presence of six. male and two female relatives. Cleary declared that he was burning a witch, and she would disap pear up the chimney. When the woman was dead the bus band collected her charred remains in a sheet and buried them in a dyke be neath the mud, where they were found a week later. The prisoners, who were remanded, narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the crowd in and about the court room, and had to be removed to jail under the escort of a strong force of constables.

ADDRESSED BY A STRANGER. And Bow She Was Treated by the Serious Tonne Woman. "I had a dreadful experiehoe at Musio hall at the Stavenhagen matinee, said the serious young woman. "I don't know how to relate it. "Try," said her aunt And she went on in words something like these: "Well, I was late at the Music hall. The first piece was half done, and I was hurrying in, when a woman I didn't know and never saw stepped up to ma and said, 'I beg your pardon. "Yon don't mean to say she spoke to you without an introduction?" "Yes," said the other woman, "just as if Boston Musio hall was an Italian railway station or a Spanish picture gal lery. Wasn't it shocking? Of course I paid no attention to her. Then the push ing thing said, 'I beg your pardon,' again more feebly and stood there grin ning at me in a sort of would be ami able way.

Imaginary highwaymen in disguise are not a part of our literary traditions, dear aunt," returned the other woman firmly. "However, I turned to the box office after looking at her in a haughty Vere-de-Vere way that I thought would make her go instantly, but no. When I bought my ticket, there she stood still with that feeble smile still wandering over her face. 'I beg your pardon, she be gan for the third time.

Aunt I I came very near smiling, but I hope I kept my self con trol as I passed on, though I know by the way that woman was laughing to herself that she felt that I came very near oh, shockingly near speaking to her and saying thank you without an introduction.

While hunting near Salmon river re cently Sidney Woodard fired at and killed a partridge, and on crossing the river where the bird fell he stooped to pick it up, when something warm and of a mucilaginous consistency fell up on his head. This he soon found was honey, and upon examination discovered that the bullet from his gun had pene trated a bee tree after passing through the partridge. He returned to the house and secured three large tubs and two milk cans and some pails, all of which he filled with honey. While securing the honey he noticed a peculiar movement of the tree, which seemed to expand and subside at inter vals. Passing to the other side a wide seam was apparent, and he learned that the tree was hollow. From this he suc ceeded in extracting 32 coons, which had taken up winter quarters therein, the peculiar movement of the tree hav ing been caused by the united breathiug of the coons.. Nor was thia all of his remarkable adventure, for on attempting to cross the river the ice gave way, and he was obliged to swim for a short distance. When he arrived at his home, he bad about 45 speckled trout ia his coat pock ets, and a few had found lodgment in his boots. Watertown Standard. An Omission.

STATE JOURNAT; WED STE3DA.T EVENIa, MlHCH 27 1895. MYSTERIES! The Nervous System the Seat of Life and Mind. Recent Wonderful Discoveries. No mystery has ever compared with that of human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and study n all ages. But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener ally Known that the seat of life is loca ted in the up per part of the spinal cord, near the base of the brain, and so sensi tive is this portion of the nervous sys tem that even the prick of a needle will cause instant death. Hanon. fUcpmrprips have demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under the con trol of the nerve centers, located in or near the base of the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs which they supply with nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re membered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the injured point, because the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating in the organ it self. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat, the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the catie of the trouble. Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe cialist. has profoundly studied this subject for over 20 years, and lias i.iade many important discoveries in connection with it. chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, etc.. are nervous diseases no matter ho.v caused. The wonderful success of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that it is based on the foregoing principle. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by Dr. Milks Medical Co., Elkhart, lnd., on receipt of price, $1 per bottle, six bottles for $5, express prepaid.

Captain Pope has been instructed to continue the manufacture of cavalry .boots and shoes in the prison shops at the rate of 1,500 pairs per month until the end of the present fiscal year. Owing to the de creased number of prisoners and the lack of sufficient instruction in the work the prison commandant will find it diffi cult to carry out the request. It takes months to educate men so as to make them proficient. Th9 quartermaster's department has also asked for the manufacture of other articles before the transfer of the prison is effected, but these will also have to be secured elsewhere. At the present rate of discharges there will be but 196 pris oners in the prison June 30 next. AFTER THE CHURCH PEOPLE. Peculiar and Original Electioneering at Baxter Springs.

Arkansas City, Kan., March 27. Capt S. L Stauber, a prominent and re liable citizen of this city, pronounces the statement of Gen.

The Fourth Michigan cavalry of which Captain Stauber was an officer, made the capture at 4 o'clock May 10, 1865, while Harnden arid his detail were three miles from Davis' camp. Captain Stauber says: 'When Davis came out of his tent he wore his wife's water proof cloak and had a shawl over his head, pinned closely about his face to hide his whisker. He was in a stooping pos ture, with a bucket on his arm, assisted by Mrs. Davis, who represented that the "president" was her old mother.

Latest U. S. Gov't Report. DICTATE WAR NEWS. In Cuba Reporters Take Down JnstWhat the Captain General Says. New York, March 27. A special dis patch from Tampa says: Havana passenger by the Olivette bring the rumor that the insurgents have taken possession of Bayono and Manza nillo, repulsing Colonel Santocilde's troops at Manzanillo with heavy loss. The rumor was current at the Louvre, but news has simply announced that San tocilde had met the insurgents at Manzanillo. As the Louvre is the resort of many Spanish officers from whom the rumor gained circula tion in Havana, it i? generally credited. No news of the battle can be gained through newspapers. A Cuban gentle man says every item of war news is al most identically the same in every par ticular in all papers in Havana. The uniformity is astonishing to an Ameri can, but he says it is obtained in this way: When the captain-general desires to give any information about the insurrec tion he notifies all the newspaper officials. Reporters are at once sent to the palace and seated at a long table, they write at the dictation of a govern ment official. Nothiug but this official news is allowed published by the gov ernment in Havana, he says. The Cubans vehemently deny the rumor that this is a race war. Conscrip tion of Cubans for militury duty is being advocated by the Spanish officers in Havana, and it is believed that sueh a move will soon be made. About twenty-five young men arrived from Havana, anticipating such a move ment Their parents are anxious to have them escape such unwelcome service. Some of them say they hope to make their way into the Cuban lines from this country, but they have no desire to bear arms for Spain. There are about twenty schooners fit ting out here now, ostensibly for the sponge banks, but it is not believed that this is the destination. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange. Room 5, Columbian Building. Wheat opened steady at unchanged prices. There was an immense lot of wheat sold on the opening by local shorts who bought it back later on at higher prices. All offerings were quickly ab sorbed by the crowd that were so con spicious on the selling side yesterday. Serious crop damage reports are begin ning to pour iu from reliable sources stating that a conservative estimate shows that in the principle wheat districts in Kansas fully 50 per cent of the winter wheat crop is killed by the last cold wave and with the present dry and dusty weather and no prospects of rain in sight anywhere the situation begins to look very serious. A crop failure this year with only fifty millions of wheat in farmers hands and only a month's supply in Europe is an item worthy of mention. We advise buying it for a good safe investment Corn Opened firm at unchanged prices and looked weak at the opening, causing a big line of long stutf to be dumped on the market by timid ionga taking profits. Ali offerings were quick ly absorbed and on fair buying the mar ket gradually advanced half a cent, fully ronnvprinor from veaterdav's decline. The receipts are falling off and are like ly to continue light for some time. Any advance in wheat will help corn. Oats are quiet and steady with a strong undertone. Provisions opened firm and remained quiet all day. Not much business was done, but all offerings were quietly ab sorbed by Armour. Brokers who sold yesterday also bought pork on the open ing.

Chicago. March 27. Forecast for Kansas: Fair to-night and Thursday; southerly winds. The proverbial iron is hot now and Thomas B. Reed should strike it by com ing out for free silver. Mexico dates her present prosperity from the repeal of the Bherman law which forced down the price of silver. Our loss is Mexico's gain. The increased earnings of railroads as shown by the annual reports which are being filed are another indication of returning business activity. Tom Reed's resolution to spend the Bummer in Europe indicates a disposition to allow the American people to ask for him if they want him for president. As soon as Gov. McKinley discovers how unpopular his views on the silver question are with the masses, he may conclude to modify them or declare he didn't say it. In his argument in the Debs habeas corpus case, before the supreme court. Attorney General Olney declared that "for the execution of national functions every foot of every stats is national soil and national property." This is a re markable position for so prominent a member of a party which has always posed as the especial champion of Btate rights. But then Democracy never was consistent. The legislature of Nebraska has evolved a sensible bounty law. It pro vides for the payment of three-eighths of a cent per pound on beet sugar, pro vided the producer of the beets Bhall re ceive as much as $5 per ton for his crop. This should prove an effectual way of compelling the manufacturer to divide his profit with the producer. Now some way should be devised by which the laborer in the factory could get his share. Ohe by one the traditions of onr child hood are disappearing. It is now -de Died on what seems to be good authority tbat Jeff Davis was arrayed in female at tire at the time of his capture. Appar ently there is nothing too sacred for the attacks of these matter-of-fact people. They will be denying the George Wash ington and the hatchet story next and we may expect to be informed that in truth the Father cf his Country never owned a hatchet and that there were no cherry tress in the elder Washington's orchard, TJstjeb the head of "A Star of Hope for the Santa Fe" the Chicago Inter Ocean prints the following: There is every reason to believe that the Santa Fe will soon emerge from the clouds and resume its old place in the great trunk lines; independent of special pourt control. A plan of reorganization jm been effected. The details have been agreed upon, and only await the Completion of the engravers' part to be definitely and formally announced. The reorganization syndicate is composed of great financial houses abundantly a Die to 3iJ&f srogramme Into operation should every stockholder decline to pay the as sessment decided upon, $10 a share. But neither the banta Fe nor any other great railway property in the far West can expect a return to anything liKe old time prosperity with the present depres sion of silver. It is absolutely essential that the mines which furnish so large a percentage of the business west of the Missouri itiver must nave at least a iair share of prosperity as a condition of railway prosperity. The Topeka Journal publishes a story to the effect that Dr. Parkhurst of New lork holds a mortgage on a Kansas farm and holds the land owner to the contract. It must be then that the Kan sas farmer is trying to dodge the con tract he made when he borrowed Dr. Parkhurst's money. The story reflects more harshly upon the Kansas farmer than upon the New York preacher. Inter Ocean. The Kansas farmer does not pose as a reformer of the sins of the world, but if he did he would probably include usury in his list. The fact that Dr. Parkhurst is within the bounds of the laws of man does not signify that he is in accord with the Master whom he professes to serve. Would Christ have done to that farmer what Dr. Parkhurst did through his agent? He should remove the beam from his own eye before; attempting to perform a like service for his fellow cit izens in New York. There are things as bad even as immorality. Wobd comes from Atlanta that the friends of Tom Reed are alarmed over the inroads McKinley is making in the south. There is no occasion for any worry. McKinley's position on the sil ver question has destroyed any chance he had in that quarter. If the Maine man would make himself solid with the southern people he should go down at once and make a few silver speeches. He would not only establish himself in their good graces but he would be doing the party a great service. McKinleyism defeated the Republican party in 1892, it should not be permitted to do it again.

An Easy Way to Eapay Social Obligations. JUNIUS HENRI BROWSE DISCUSSES A Popular Form f Entertainment fo? Persona of Moderate Ileus-Be-tween Lnaebeon ud Dinner A Hip pie and Easy Duty. New York, Maroh 18. It is 12 to 15 years since afternoon teaa became a form of social entertainment in thia country, in the larger cities especially. They were at first called kettledrums or drums, after tha rather informal func tions given by the British army officers in India, in which tea vras, as usual with the Britons, the principal and most eagerly sought refreshment. What would become of tha British empire and constitution without tea? They were ia the beginning a new fad and fashion, but they were soon found to be bo con venient, so accommodating, bo much more economical than evening parties of any kind, that they have become per manent and universal. They have suc ceeded and almost replaced the old even ing receptions of the earlier time. Afternoon teas have never, it is fair to infer, been wholly enjoyed by society that is, by those representing the great body of guests. Nor have they who play the part of hostess been really attached to them, except for reasons purely prac tical. These reasons have grown in th9 last two years from the general dullness of business and the diminution of in comes. Consequently afternoon tea3 have increased and fastened themselves more firmly than ever on the communi ty. It seems doubtful now if their hold will be released in this generation by persons of moderate means particularly. If not delightful, they are comparative ly frugal, and frugality must always bj liked in secret by a great many persona who pretend to be far better off than they are for the sake of making soma figure in society. Any one afflicted with social ambition who has not ampla means is apt to be tempted to appear otherwise, since society and poverty aro as incompatible as reason and supersti tion. Society in any strict sense means financial profusion, if not prodigality, so that afternoon teas, which are very seldom profuse and very seldom assume to be, are necessarily a kind of social pinchbeck. The undoubted rich do not affect them, because they have no need to, and because they usually desire to be ostentations, at least to furnish substan tial evidence of their riches. Afternoon teas have never materially altered since their introduction here. They generally last now, as they did ac first, from 4 to 7 o'clock, and the hour is named on the card of invitation. The tea, being held between luncheon and dinner, has no need, offers no pretext, for anything more than very simple re freshments, such as tea, coffee or choco late, lemonade, cake, ices and the like. Even these, when taken however light ly, often blunt the appetite for dinner and sometimes, if more than tasted, spoil it entirely. Men who set store by and take pleasure in that meal common ly shun the refreshment table altogether and are annoyed by importunities of tha hostess or her assistants to violate tha rule. They even make the liability to do so a serious objection to attending a tea under any circumstances. Many men most of them, in truth resolutely stay away, ridiculing and abusing ii roundly. They call it "water gruel re ception," "Sunday school party," "old ladies' festival," "Puritanic jollity," "skimmilk function," "Quaker feast," "anxious meeting," with other revile ments. Nevertheless some men go, though they are ever in a conspicuous minority, and there are those, candor compels me to say, who pretend to like it. As has been said in another article, the bulk of men do not like society, posi tively dislike it indeed, though they share in it because their feminine kin dred persuade them to. And then they recognize the impropriety of women go ing out alone. But women do not need any escort to a tea, which generally oc curs during daylight, and their natural protectors do not seem impolite or un gallant in not accompanying them. Many a husband and a father, there fore, praises teas without stint; thinks them beneficial, interesting, de lightful; hopes that in time they will supersede every other form of social en tertainment, etc., for no other reason than that he keeps clear of them. Who has not heard men say they would be re joiced if society might be carried on by one sex alone? The duties to be discharged at a tea are very slight and need occupy very little time. All one needs do is to greet the hostess and her husband, if he be alive or present, walkthrough the draw ing room, bowing to such acquaintances or friends as one may find, decline re freshments if offered, take leave of the hostess and depart. Most guests do more than this, to be sure, but more is not enjoined. They stand around, prattle, gossip, exchange insincere, meaning less compliments, drink a cup of. tea, nibble a biscuit, perhaps swallow an ice and then betake themselves to dinner. Few remain beyond an hour at furthest; most of them not beyond half an hour; some but 10 or 15 minutes. At a large tea they come and go continually. It is remarkable how many may be in vited without suffocation. The rooms are packed at intervals, but they are speedily relieved; the pressure is never long. A tea is given so tbat social ob ligations may be discharged at small sost. An ordinary house will accommo date several hundreds in three hours when they could not get into an evening reception simultaneously. This is one of its greatest advantages and its chief excuse for being. Nobody need be ex cessively bored at a tea, and the reason men detest it is that it claims to repre sent society, commonly odious to tha IT COMES HIGH. Bat Toons George Vanderbilt Will Have toe Finest Estate In America, Special Correspondence.! As heytlle, N. C, March 18. George Vanderbilt ia 26 years old, unmarried, and will soon be the owner of the finest estate in the world. He is very quiet in his tastes, preferring his books and pic tures to the pleasures of society. It is THE VAKDERBILT MANSION. for this reason he will live in the soli tude of majestic mountains instead cf the atmosphere of clubs and theaters. For the last three years the youngest son of William H. Vanderbilt has given his attention and money to the erection of his new home at Asheville. He cornea here every few months and remains a few weeks at the "Red Farm House," his temporary residenca It will prob ably be seven years before his home and grounds are completed, in spite of the fact tbat 600 workmen are employed daily upon the work. Mr. Vanderbilt will probably eat his Christmas dinner in 1896 in bis palace, for it is nothing else. He has acquired the title to 100,000 acres of land (about 160 square miles) in and around Asheville. It is said he may drive 37 miles in a straight line from his chateau and still be on his own possessions. Already 70 miles of mac adam roads have been built, which are lined with brilliant hued, hardy trop ical plants and myriad colored rhodo dendrons. These roads lead down to the valley or up hill after hill to the heaven aspiring peak of the famous Mount Pisgah, or perhaps they wind toward that blue, hazy curtain which on nearer inspection proves to be the Smoky range, o else wend their way toward the grandeur of the Black mountains. The chateau when finished will testi fy to the magnificent work of man, as the scenery does to the wondrous work of nature. The house stands on an es planade of 700 by 800 feet Thia was made by cutting down the summit of a hill and filling in the depressions. A perfect level is the result. The architec ture ia pure Italian. It is built of Mary land limestone and is four stories high. Let the imagination run riot, and even then one can have but a faint con ception of the magnitude of this sump tuous home. As a starting point, recol lect a tzoop of cavalry might walk though the loggias and a regiment march down the stairways. The ban quet hall and reception room is as larga aa any ordinary church, and a city 'house might be comfortably ensconced in the library. The magnificent carv ings about the principal entrances ara in the hands of Karl Bitter. One of the guardians of the portals is a heroic stat uo 'of Jeanno d'Arc. Beyond the drive way is a terriend stairway in imitation .of the famous Porto Aggatio. Possibly these two facts show the historio eclec ticism of the owner. On the right is the tennis ground, with its quaint teahouso and stone fountain about 2,000 years old, brought from the vicinity of tho Nila Still farther is the conservatory, the only spot that invites criticism, it being very small and unpretentious. On the left of the chateau are situated tho stables, carriage houses and dog ken nels. A branch of the Southern rail road runs from Biltmore to the back of the house, thus enabling a private car to run directly to the door of the man sion. Besides the railroad one finds a stone quarry, where all the stone used for wails, roads, foundations, etc., has been procured; also a dairy of 250 cowa and a brickkiln. From the private nurseries over 1,000,000 plants and ornamental trees have been transplanted into the grounds. In another year a game preserve and hundreds of deer will be an acquisition to the parks. About that time 20 cot tages, costing $20,000 each, will have been erected. These houses will be rent ed to-the personal friends of Mr. Van derbilt. A $100,000 church is already in vn advanced state of erection, and last, but not least of hi3 many posses sions, is the country store at Biltmore owned by this millionaire. Mr. Vanderbilt had no trouble in so curing the property he wished with one exception. Charles Collins, a thrifty ne gro, owns a plot of seven acres right in the middle of the rich man's domains. Collins has scornfully refused $7, 500 and will continue to be Mr. Vanderbilt's nearest neighbor until he gets his own price, said to be $12,000. No one is al lowed on the grounds without a special pnrmit, and all cameras are confiscated and not returned until the visitor leaves the gates. An impartial observer cannot but commend the young millionaire, who is improving a vast territory, giving employment to thousands of men, seem ingly investing his money wisely and building the most magnificent estate in th9 world.

In speaking of the news already print ed that Clyde Mattox's friends are mak ing a strenuous effort to get him par don ed by the president, a Kansas City paper says that he ia a very smooth fel low, and works the religious racket wherever he goes, and it has thus far been a winner. The paper a!"o tells this story, which the jailers at the county jail where he is confined say is absolutely false: "A woman well known in Topeka church circles for her charitable work, called at the Shawnee county jail, where Mattox is now confined, the other day, with a basket of flowers and some cake and pie and other delicacies, and asked to see the murderer. She waa ushered into the celL After a season of prayer Mattox broke down, as he always does, and aa the tears chased one another over hta pale, beardless cheeks, he looked I the picture of despair. Ihe good woman read a favorite chapter, and offered an other prayer, and as she was about to take ber departure she gave the prisoner a $5 bill. After she had gone Mattox re marked to the jailer: "Well; I woiked that old girl In great shape, didn't I?" Mattox's mother has been indefatiga ble in her efforts to have her son freed, but jail officials say that as a matter of fact Mattox sees few people, and never tries to work them. The jailer would not allow it, anyway. CARL BROWNE WOULD WED. Not Particular Who ths Woman Is But Mast Be On Capitol Steps. Maslixlojt, O., March 27.

The repetition of Sophocles' Greek tragedy "Electra" by the students of Washburn college last night was very well attended, although the audience was not nearly so. large as it was the night before. The presentation was much better in many ways. There was more enthusi asm among the actors in the heavier Fcenes, and the audience liked it better. Mr. McVicar's Orestes was better than the night before. Prof. Ellis deserves great credit for the really creditable manner in which he managed the production from the first rehearsal. The attempt to play so strong a piece with amateurs was ambitious, but not a failure, and the college might try the presentation of another classic production at some time. MANDAMUS THE AUDITOR.

The first installment of $1,000 was paid be fore the ruling of the executive council was made, but when the claim for the balance was presented the auditor re fused to audit it. This is thd last Claim that nnnor will have against the state, for the present at least, as its successor will bo elected next week, but it does not intend to give up any part of its claim if it is possible to avoid it. A suit will be commenced in the eu preme court this week to compel the Btate auditor to audit the account. The Advocate claims that the law was never intended to apply to the official state pa per elected by the executive council, but Bpplied only to the state printer when he had charge of that part of the state printing. The claim of the Advocate which is contested is about $800. in ytyie,...

The new dam ordinance has not been formally accepted by the company. David Fitzgeraid, the principal promoter of the project, has been sick at his home in Lincoln, Neb., for some time, but he is now daily expected in Topeka. It will be accepted, saya the attorneys, as soou as some slight amendments can be made to the ordinance. At the meeting1 of the council next Monday the company will ask the city for an alternative contract for power. The city has a contract with the Bartholomew Dam company for six hundred horse power to be furnished within a specified time. The new company will ask the city for the same kind of a contract, conditioned upon the failure of the Bartholomew company to furnish the power within the life of its contract. If the other com pany should furnish the power as con traded for, the new company will re quire nothing of the city. A provision of the new contract sug gested by the company itself, and which it will ask the council to place in the agreement, is a bond for $20,000. This is to ba forfeited in case the company fails to furnish the power contracted for. They will ask that the bond provision of the franchise be annulled as the pro per placefor the bond requirement is in the contract made with the city. There will probably be very little op position in the council to the executing of the alternative contract, as it could by no means be the cause of binding the city by two contracts for power, aa one is made conditional upon the failure of the other' to furnish the power contracted lor.

Nothing was said about his being proud when he addressed 25,000 men at the Chicago stock yards and slaughter houses from a lumber pila Tom Reed is a happy, jovial man, and big in more senses than one. At home in Portland he knows everybody. At Washington he is never too busy to chat with any acquaintance no matter how poor and unfortunate he may be.

ARE PLANNING FOR '96. Populists Are Already Considering Gubernatorial Candidates. HARRIS.SIMPSON.BOTKISASD FORJEY. These Are Seme or the Possibilities Talked of With III arris Perhaps the .Favorite. It may be a little early but as the early bird is reputed to be an "Eli," the Popu list politicians are already figuring on a candidate for governor for 1896. There are already four men, enough talked about to be put down as candi dates, with perhaps forty who would like to be mentioned In this connection and who would deny the first newspaper item to that effect which should be published. The most prominently mentioned of all these men who may be called candi dates is Colonel W. A. Harris, ex-con-gressman-at-large. Colonel Harris, it is said by those within the party who should know, could have had the nomi nation last year, but he firmiy declined to be a candidate, saying that Governor Le welling had done nothing which, in his opinion should deprive him from the honor of a second term. There will be no sentiment of this kind to stand between Colonel Harris and the acceptance of a nomination next year, and he has many friends who be lieve he will be the man who will lead the ticket When Colonel Harris was first nominated and elected to congress, some of the middle of the road Populists thought he had not been fully converted to Populism, and said they believed him to be still strongly tainted with Democratic doctrines, but when last summer Col. Harris went to his old home in Virginia, and in that strong Democrat ic fortress made Populist speeches, the most skeptical of bis Kansas constituents were forced to believe that the congress man at large bad forsaken the party of Jefferson and Jackson for good. Jerry Simpson, the ex-congressman from the Seventh district, will not try to go back to Washington next year. He is satisfied that Cheater L Long whipped him and he is already setting up his pins as a candidate for governor. Jerry is an all around politician, and the leaders of the party say he will come very near capturing the nomination if the Cclonel Harris sentiment does not shut him out. Rev. J. D. Botkin, who made the race for congress in the Third district last fall, after Jeff Hudson new the track, and officiated as chaplain of the senate this winter, ia another man who is looking towards the executive office. Rev. Mr. Botkin is rocognizdd as a big man, but there is an element in the Peo ple's party which is fearful that the party would be injured by the nomina tion of so stalwart a prohibitionist as Mr. Botkin is known to be to head the ticket. The fourth man talked about for gov ernor is State Senator A. G. Forney of Belle Plaine, Sumner county. Senator Forney is recognized as a good, clean man, who could head the ticket to good advantage. He has a clean record and is an all around church man. Unless there is a decided leaning to one of the other candidates before con vention time, Senator Forney is likely to be a formidable candidate. WOULD BE A CONGRESSMAN. Jewelling It la Said U Fixing to Bun Against Long. Ex-Governor L, D. Lewelling, who is supposed to be quietly attending to the butter and egg business down at Wichita, is not out of politics after all. The news comes to Topeka in a reliable way that the ex-governor is preparing to be a candidate for congress in the Seventh district against Chester I. Long next year. Since Jerry Simpson has decided to look for other political pasture he is helping the Lewelling boom along as much as possible. It is said that H. B.

The colouel has a vein of sentiment himself. A lady who lives on Taylor street says: "Whenever Taylor street people want a storm they get up a party. The worst blizz;ird3 of the winter have been on the evening that Mrs. Clements had a party; the evening of the Camera club recep tion at the home of Mr. and Airs. C. C.

She has long been identified with the most representative educational and philanthropic interests of the country. She is best known as the general sec retary of the organization of the King's Daughters, which office she has held since the foundation of that order. Not long since she was made dean cf the University of Denver. She is a skilled parliamentarian, a fine speaker and a cultivated and appreciative wo man. Is Woman a Citizen? The question just now agitating the women of Indiana is, Will we gain tho right to vote? In the constitution, of the United States we find that to be senator a per son must have been a citizen of the United States nine years. The statute does not say "male inhabitant." Now what is to prevent woman from filling this office? Again, in the fourteenth amendment we find: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United Stares and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Accord ing to the fifteenth amendment, tho right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any state, on account of race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. It seems that if we are citizens, which we are according to the fourteenth amendment, the point is already gained, not only in Indiana, but in all of the states, and the next thing is to induce congress to enforco our rights to vote and hold office by ap propriate legislation, or prove to us wo are not citizens. In all of our colleges, academies and even common schools we find girls gain ing higher per cents than boys of tho 6ame ago, so it seems that the road is being paved for ns to prove our equality if not superiority over man intellectual ly. That we are morally has never been a question. That has been awarded us through all time. Physical endurance is something of a stumbling block, but I think if the chance is given we will stand the strain of office seeking and holding as well as the sterner sex. If our right to citizenship is proved, there will dawn a Dew era politically, socially and financially. As mothers and wives we would broaden our range of vision, and with the intuition char acteristic of woman grasp the situation and be master of the field. I do not think we could ever be dispensed with, and in five years men would be as strong advocates of woman suffrage as the earnest, loyal, patriotic women now en gaged in this movement. The question would better be decided by the United States according to the constitution, thus gaining the whole at once simply by decision on the question, "Is woman a citizen?" It will be such a long time before the sum of the parts equal the whole if we only acquire suffrage state by state. Lizzie F. Atkinson in Chi cago Inter Ocean. Sorosls Birthday Party. Sorosis, as befitted an organization which has arrived at grandparental years and dignities, celebrated it3 twenty-seventh birthday on March 13 by gathering together its friends and descendants and feasting with them. Sorosis has long been known by the proud title of the mother of women's clubs, but it. remained for Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, the newly elected president cf the National Council of Women, to call, attention to the fact that the National Council, being the daughter of various clubs itself, made Porosis a grandmother. The big ballroom at Sherry's, Thirty seventh street and Fifth avenue, New York, where the birthday party was given, was bright with daffodils and ferns, to say nothing of resplendent ar s ly and smiling faces.

The sphere of woman's usefulness is constantly widening.

Her territory includes tho states of New York and Pennsylvania and a portion of Ohio. Miss Stewart has basn employed by the company for about a year. She is exceedingly modest about speaking of her work and the success that has at tended it. "Before I started on the road, "she said, "I felt very sensitive about the way in which my departure from the beaten track of women's work would be received by the commercial men with whom I would be brought more or less into competition. I dreaded the possibility of encountering the sneer ing glances and remarks of commercil men, whom I thought would resent the intrusion of a woman into their ranks. But that is all past and gone now. I found that my fears were unwarranted, for I never received anything but tho most courteous treatment. I like my work, and I feel that I am healthier and happier than I would be if tied down to office work. Hardware. Calhoun's Sweetheart. There is an old lady at the Louise home in Washington named Miss Hart ley Graham, who was a belle in South Carolina GO years ago and was betrothed to John C. Calhoun when he was at the height of his prominence. But for some reason he married another woman, and she has remained a maiden to this day. She has a bracelet made of his hair, which was a fashionable 6ort of keep sake in those days, and a daguerrotype that he gave her shortly after they be came engaged. She spent muoh of her girlhood and her womanhood in Wash ington, where she knew Clay and Web ster and danced with Buchanan at the navy yard balls before anybody dreamed he would be president, writes th9 Wash ington correspondent of the Chicagb Record. But in her jewel box, with oth er mementos, are several notes from Mrs. Cleveland, which she prizes more than anything else. The last one was dated a few days after the president's wife returned from Gray Gables last November, and it reads: Dear Miss Graham I have just gathered these flowers at Woodley, and I thought I would send them to you this morning as a re minder of my return. Yours sincerely, Frances Cleveland. More Charming; Than Ever. Mrs. Cleveland has never in her life looked as beautiful and as happy as she does this season. At Mrs. Carlisle's re ception the other nifiht one marveled when this woman would cease to grow charming, for every year she seems to have increased in loveliness. It may have been her gown, it may have been the new way in which she dresses her hair, but she certainly looked years younger than she did at the beginning of this administration, and her smile seemed brighter, fresher and more se ductive than ever. Her gown was made of spangled moire antique of a pinkish mauve shade, the orchid tint now so FANCY NECKWEAR. plain crepe lisse, or chiffon of different lace. The ik-hu collar is of cream lace shades of purple,' which combination is

fashionable. Tho bodice was low, witn high puffed short sleeves and danglinp pearl 6trands trimming it. A donblo strand of diamonds was wovfii into a coronet, and, while looking simple, sho also looked superb. She had assumed position immediately under tho large life size painting cf Mrs. Washington, and the picture of this ancient lady seemed smiling npon the fairest of her successors. Nov York Telegram." Godet Skirt and Knee Coat. The godet skirt will remaiii in vogue, and the fashionable modistes aro insert ing steels that reach up almost to the knee, setting them in the seams length- wise to cause it to flare, writes Isabel A. Mallon iu The Ladies' Home Jour nal. Facings that are light, and which at the same time stiffen are pat in the back breadths quite up to the belt and in the front and side breadths to just above the knees. What are known as "knee coats," and which button across the bust, but are cut out at tho throat and below the two buttons which fasten it, so that th fancy waistcoat shows, are much liked. Very often, if the waistcoat is detach able, three or four will accompany one gown, and then for a change, and, to bo assumed in place of tho waistcoat, there will be a loose silk shirt waist. In tho roat designs there is also a new cutaway foat which is only long enough to T.each between the hip and the knee. This i.4 generally becoming and very smart when developed either in broadcloth or mo hair. Sarah McLean Hardy. Miss Sarah McLean Hardy, fellow in political economy in tho University of Chicago, has been appointed instructor in that subject in We) lesley college dur ing the absence of Professor Catherine Comaiis in Europe. Miss Hardy gradu ated in 1893 from the University of California. The following year sho took graduate work in the University of Chi cago and received a regular university fellowship in political economy. Miss Hardy is connected with several leading women's clubs in the university. In the current number af The Journal of Po litical Economy Miss Hardy has an ar ticle on "The Quantity of Money and Prices From 1860 to 1891." Her ap pointment at Wellesley takes effect in September. Dressing Fashion Dolls. A new employment, which require" skill and cleverness rather than means, is the dressing of fashion dolls for store windows, the idea having developed rapidly since the exhibit of' historic French dolls at the Chicago fair. A woman with real taste in dress can thus find scope for her talent in designing pretty costumes for little figures, which must be just as chic in every detail as the full sized ones. These please the eye and are a great help in selling goods, laces and dress trimmings, so that pro prietors are glad to make them a feature of all new displays. The models are about 15 inches high, representing tho latest fashions accurately. Chicago Record. A Cardinal's Views. Cardinal Kopp has issued a pastoral letter concerning woman's rights anr the agitation in favor of equal political privileges for all. He says: "It is against the order of the world that the emanci pation of woman should mean her abso lute equality with men.- God's will is that woman should be the helpmate. She is bodily unfit for man's work, and her emancipation, to the end that she might work side by side-with man, would mean the deterioration of the Christianity that freed her from slavery and made her man's social equal. Un restricted equality would mean woman's ruin." Mrs. Charles Henrotin will femain east in the interest of the -Federation of Clubs until the last of ApriL Frances Willard sailed for.

Jack Langworthy, a local celebrity, had killed a tenderfoot from Pennsyl vania, and there was naturally some cu riosity, if not to say excitement, over the affair. The circumstances of the case were like this: Jack and the Pennsylvanlan were hay ing's little game of cards when the for mer noticed a slight deception on the part of his adversary in the way of dealing' himself from one to four cards too many and concealing them In his coat sleeve. 'Sich proceedings are entirely foreign to the customs of this yere camp," finally remarked Langworthy and at the same time sent a bullet into the "tenderfoot's" bead. The rude law of Scratch Gravel took cognizance of this fact, and Jack was ar rested. A few weeks later he was ar raigned for the murder and pleaded guilty. The judge sentenced him to be hanged. Then Jack made a speech. He said: "I killed the man, I know, and perhaps it's fair enough that I should die too. Leastways I don't set up my judgment agin that of the court. The laws of Scratch Gravel should be enforced, but just now I'm sort o' sorry the enforcement is nec essary. The deal is a hard one, and the worst of it all is that the roughness is not agin me alone oh, no, not agin me, but Sally and the twins. s "I don't care for myself just as eoon go as not but when I think of the twins I tell you I can't stand it. You see, the twins are boys both boys they are a rattling pair, and no mistake. I allers reckoned on the twins 'mounting to some thing in the world, but if their father is to be hanged that settles it. What would the twins ever 'mount to then? "Now, if I could go some other way, it wouldn't look so bad the twins might pull through but to be strung up like a common thief, it would be a weight on 'em 'ere twins that 'ud keep 'em down forever. So you see, it ain't for myself that I care, not for me and not for Sally eo much either, although I do kinder like the old gal, but the twins. Well, it breaks me all np to think of leaving them, it does, for a certain fact. Jedge, when will ihe performance take place?" The unfortunate man was informed that the 10th of July was the date fixed for his execution, and that he should make preparations to be on hand at that time punctually so as not to delay the proceedings. "You see, Jack," said the judge famil iarly, "we ain't going to be mean enough to lock you up, not you it wouldn't be right not with an honorable man like you. It ain't for any dislike for you or bad feeling that we're going to hang you, Jack, but it's the law, you know, the law. So you'll make it a point of honor, Jack, to be on hand when the time comes." For the next week Jack 6taid at home pretty much all the tima Occasionally some of his friends would drop in to ask about his health and the health of the twins. The slightest mention of the lat ter would set his tongue in motion, and somehow he seemed to think there were no other children in the world worth talk ing about. "They'll pull way ahead of their old dad ,in a few years," he had often said. "Maybe one of 'em'll be an auctioneer or a bank president and the other a steam boat captain who knows? Them boys are smart." One evening, just a week prior to the date fixed for his execution, he seated him self on a bowlder near his cabin door and took the twins in his arms. They were little fellows and climbed all over him. One of them got his little brown arm around the paternal neck and pulled the grizzly beard with his chubby fingers. Then, looking into the upturned face, he said sorrowfully: "There's wasser in your eyes, dad. What'yr matter?" Jack put the child down rather rough ly, and remarking, as he brushed his eyes, that "it were mighty hot that evening" he walked into the house. The 10th of July arrived. In the morn ing, quite early, Bill Drake, an old time friend of Jack, came to see him. "Seems tome thar ought to be some way to get out of this, remarked Bill. You wouldn't slip away, would you?" "I don't want to shoot you. Bill," he said fiercely, "but I'll do it, sure, if ye re peat that insult. Thought ye knew me better than that. I'm ashamed of ye!" "But ye don't understand met" ex claimed Bill excitedly. "Listen! Th jedge sentenced ye to be hanged the 10th of July, but he forgot to name the year! The 10th of July ten years from now will do, or longer. He only said the 10th of July!" But he meant today, said Jack, trem bling in every limb. 'But he didn't say it. Yer may suit yer own convenience about the year, Jack. Fer yer own sake, and fer the sake of the twins, skip!" There was much disappointment that afternoon among the citizens of Scratch Gravel when it was discovered that Jack was gone. Search was made of his cabin, but there were no signs of Sally, Jack or the twins. They were gone for good. And now comes the strangest part of the etory. The 10th of July five years later a gray old man, bent nearly double, thrust his shadowy form into the presence of the chief magistrate of Scratch Gravel and de manded a hearing. "Iam Jack Langworthy," ho said, "and I have come back, according to my prom ise, to be hanged. You see, the twins are dead both dead and Sally, she's gone to run away with another man, and now I've come back to meet the requirements of the law. There has been some delay, I'll admit, but I was bound to come back some time, and here I am." The laws and customs of Scratch Gravel had changed somewhat since Jack depart ed the place five years before, and as tho affair in whioh he was interested was no longer a sensation of the day he waa sim ply told to leave tho town as soon as pos sible.

Governor Morrill and Secretary of State Edwards are being besieged with requests for information about the new fish law passed bv the late legislature, and Mr. T. B. Miirdock of El" Dorado, the fish authority of Kansas, has been here today looking up the law. Mr.. Murdock has discovered that ex-Fish Commissioner J. W.

A German Physician Say His Recovery Is Impossible. New York, March 27. A special to the Press from Washington says: "In a private cablegram from Tollio, received by a member of the Japanese delegation here today, is conveyed news of world wide interest. According to this dis patch, which comes from the best official source in Japan, a German physician who is a professor at the university of Tokio and an expert of high standing-, was sent yesterday at the personal re quest of the mikado to examine Li Hung Chang's wound. After a thorough examination of his distinguished patient, the physician re ported confidentially to the Mikado that Li Hung Chang must die. The wound is in the face, and the bullet, which the surgeon had not succeeded in extracting yesterday, is apparently beyond reach. Moreover, Li is 70 years of age, and al though a. giant physically, his years are against him. The dispatch which con veys this information is a private and con fidential one. but its trustworthiness is not doubted by the recipient who gave the news to the Press correspondent." Favored the Instruments. Shimondski. March 27. The condition of Li b ung Chang is favorable. It is re ported that he has now consented to the extraction of the bullet in his face.

A special to the Tribune from Ottawa, Ont, says: The crisis in cabinet affairs was further complicated by a report last night that Sir Charles H. Tupper, minister of jus tice, had resigned. Sir Charles is in ac cord with the government's policy on the school question, but he favored a direct appeal to the people on it at a general election. The French-Canadian members fought for a session of parliament. They prevailed and parliament has been summoned to meet next month. Sir Charles regarded this action as cow ardly- "We should have faced the country like men, ne sata. -ana u we went to the wall beat would have been more honora ble than resortiug to a session for the sake of a few months more in office."

Dusenberry, a horseman living' in Middleton, N. Y., filed a suit in the district court by Arm strong Austin, his attorneys, asking that the firm of E. Bennett Sons be placed in the hands of a receiver. He says the Bennetts' property is so clouded with judgments, mortgages and trans fers it is hard to tell who is entitled to possession. After the filing of this case Deputy Sheriff Dan Jones and E. A Austin went to the handsome Beonett residence at Eighth and Buchanan streets and served executions on all the household goods and personal effects, except those ex empt from attachment under the $500 clause. All of the horses, stock, carriages, harness, implements and feed in both the Bennett stables on Eighth street and the big farm west of town were also taken under executions. Among the property attached were these: 22 stallions in the Eighth street barn, 99 other horses, 2 Jersey cows, and 5 carriages. The property was seized by the sheriff because of a lapse in the mortgage, owing to failure to file an affi davit of renewal. Besides taking ad-' vantage of this lapse, service was had on three judgments rendered nearly a year ago, as follows: D. C. Dusenberry, $1,020; John E. Cal vert, $774; and John H. Danby, $402. The sheriff left men in charge of both the farm and the city property. BAYARDS PARTICIPATE At a Bazaar Where Miss Boecker Receives A Gold Watch. London, March 27.

Mitchell, address North Topeka, says: "I was sick with indices--tion, a catarrhal condition of the entire system; was always sick and unable to be around. I took medical treatment of the physicians of the World Medica' Institute, 631 Quincy street, less than three months ago, and they gave sucb surprising relief from the start and con tinued to do so until I now feel like myself again. They have accomplished more for me than I had hoped for when I commenced treatment They are cer tainly worthy the entire confidence of the sick and afflicted everywhere. Mr. Earl Williams, rt Olathe, Kansas, says: The physicians of the World Medi cal Institute shall be oar doctors here after. They cured me completely of stubborn liver disorder,, attended with dyspepsia, malnutrition and nervousness. They aiso cured my wife of a very an r oying female trouble. John W. Green, the well-known stock buyer at Rosedale, Kansas, says: "My entira nervous system had been a wreck for ton years. I was melancholly, could not remember things, and felt that I had entirely lost my usefulness as a man among men. In just five months the World Medical Institute had me as well as I ever was in my life." Mr. G. B. Brown, foreman in Swift'a Packing House, ad who lives 1939 Al- -len ave., Armourd.de, Kan., says: "I had what was called catarrhal consump tion. I raised blood, had night sweats, coughed terribly, had all the nervous phenomena' attendant on such a condi tion, was weak and emaciated, bad to givo np work entirely. Tried our local physicians for a year, but steadily grew worse. In September the World Medi cal Institute took hold of my case and today I am strong and healthy," These physicians are experts In the highest se of the word. Their quali- Qcationa a th best the world can give. -Their examinations are thorough there is no hesitancy, uncertainty, or I guess you have this or that troubie with them. Thev KNOW.
