Her Conscience Wouldn't Give. Her Any Rest Surrenders to Get Her Mother Oat of Prison. Omaha, March 29. Cora Smith, form erly a resident of Des Moines, but who has lived in this city since last Septem ber, was arrested here and taken to Des Moines this morning. The woman, shortly after being taken to the police station, confessed to having assisted in murdering her father last May. Mike Smith was the murdered man's name, and previous to the last and successful attempt to kill him by poisoning, an attempt was made by shooting. The ball paused through his head just back of the eyes, and from the effects he was blinded. It wbs not proven .who tired the shot, and Smith could not oe led to believe that members of his family were plotting to kill him, but iusisted that it was a man who was an enemy of his. Nbt long after the shooting incident poison in email doses was administered, from the effects of which he died last May. The wife and daughter were ar rested charged with the crime, and in June the wile was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Iowa penitentiary. Cora was dis charged wuen taken before the police judge for hearing, and jifter remaining in Des Moines tor a short time she came to Omaha. Her associates noticed that something was continually worrying her and that she could not sleep, but was not aware of the cause. Alter her mother was sent to the penitentiary she began writing to her, and in one of the letters she told her mother how she h;id assisted in poisoning her lather, and at the same lime impli cating her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Leader. Tnis letter fell into the hands of the detectives, as did all the correspondence following. In her confession she said that the poison that was used to kill her father was purchased by her aunt, Mrs. Leader, and that Mrs. Leader administered sev eral doses, but the one which caused her father's death, and the last one given, was by her own hands. She expressed a willingness to return to Des Moines without requiaiton papers, and said that she would be glad to get a chance to have her mother liberated, She said she was willing to pay the penalty of her crime, and the thought that her mother was serving a life sentence for some thing she had not done had preyed upon her mind until she had become almost crazed. The object of the murder was for the purpose of getting the insurance which Smith carried on his life. The amount was $6,000, but after the conviction of Mrs. bmith for murder, the insurance companies refused to pay the policies. bmith was one of the oldest engineers on the Rock Island road.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE Are Playing a Grab Game in the Dark Continent. Encroachments on British Ter ritory Are Charged. London, March 29. The statement which Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, made in the house of commons last night, saying that an advance of the French into the territory of the upper Nile valley, be longing to the Royal Niger company and, therefore, under British protection, would be an unfriendly act, and that it was well known to France that Great Britain would bo regard it, is causing a profound sensation' here and on the continent. 1 Sir Edwards' announcement which was read from notes' believed to have been written by the secretary of state for foreign affairs, the Earl of Kimberly, is looked upon as .revealing the extremely critical relations now existing between France and Great Britain. The fact that the statement was pre pared in writing beforehand, emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and Bhows that every word embodies the views of the cabinet In brief the statement is that it is be coming daily more difficult to live on good terms with France; that Great Britain has made concession after con cession in the past two years in the in terests of peace, but that the end has now come, and it is now found necessary to warn Frauce from the ministerial bench. The most important and significant portion of Sir Edward Grey's statement was the following: But something besides our own ef forts is necessary, and that is the co-operation of the French government and the French people." WANTS WILL SET ASIDE. Hiram M. Northnp's Sun Says He Wasn't Treated Fairly. A suit was filed in the United States circuit court today to set aside the will of Hiram M.

Northup was very wealthy aud the estate was valued at $800,000. The son says in his petition that his father whs of unsound mind when he made the will and his mind had been poisoned against him by Joseph A. Chick, who is president of the National bank of Kansas City which failed a few days ago and KenuethBrowne, who were named as executors of the will. They had told his father that he was a profligate and spend thrift, and he says that he is neither. Northup bequeathed part of his pro perty, to the Wyandotte Indians and. St Marys hospital of Kansas City and they, with a dozen individuals who received bequests are made parties to the suit GOOD PRICES FOR CATTLE. Drouth and Short Pasture Has Made Good Animals Scarce.

MARCH 29, GOOD ACTING,SSALL HOUSE John Griffith's Seoond Appearance at the Grand In Faust. A very good actor played Mephisto last night to a very poor audience at the Grand. The' second appearance of John Grif fith in "Faust brought less than $75 to the house and the actor did not hurt him self in giving it a great rendition. Peo ple who saw it both nights liked it bet ter for the reason perhaps that they had more time to notice the better acting. To aay that an actor improves on ac quaintance is a compliment and it can truthfully be said of Griffith. The Mar guerite of Miss Dauncourt also improves in the eye of a second night though that can not very well be said of other mem bers of Mr. Griffith's cast ne of the most exasperating of .Mrs. Griffith's company is his electrician. Not satisfied with having burned out the flower bed the night before, he lost his balance in the Brocken scene last night, and upset Mr. Griffith's nerves and al most Mr. Griffith himself. While Me phisto was standing on the summit of the Brocken, and dealing out assignments to his friends below, the electrician turned the full force of the city arc current on the wire that connected with Griffith's lire sword. The wire was burned out, Mr. Griffith's hand scorched, and the sword went plunging into the Brocken chasm. There was no sword electricity in the scene, and when the curtain went down Griffith turned his attention to the electrician. There was a curtain call but Griffith was too busy with the employe to notice it and when the cur tain went up he stood on the summit of the mountain chewing his gum and ad dressing lines to the electrician that Goethe never wrote. At one time in that scene Griffith got to fooling with the wire and got a shock that knocked him oil the Brocket into a yawning abyss below. That tickled the gallery but it didn't please Griffith. Griffith is on his way west He plays in Beatrice, Nebraska, tonight and ex pects to visit Topeka again early in the fall and do some business. JAMES AND ELLA. He Spilled Water on Her Foot and She had Him Arrested. James Prevoid is a young colored man and lives down toward the Santa Fe shops. Ella Martin is a little lighter perhaps and lives next door to James. The other day Ella was drawing water from her well aud James came out into his back yard to say in a voice filled with striking emotion that he was "right" and felt like fighting. James claims he was talking to his father-in-law. Ella didn't feel right and went across the street to a neighbor's well to got water. Soon James came into Ella's house to get a drink. He filled the cup and after he had tasted of it threw the rest on .1 Vila's foot which happened to be handy. Ella objected to having water on her foot-and said so. James wanted to know what she was going to. do about it, and, with a keen eye to th9 fitness of things, threw some water on her other foot This was more than Ella's patience could bear and she had James arrested. The judge didn't think water would hurt Ella's feet or anybody else's feet and he dismissed the case. ALL KINDS OF MONEY. A Young Tramp Arrested- With Over $400 on His Person. H. F. Jackson and EL Lee were ar rested by Watchman Steele in the Union Pacific yards last night, and taken to the police station. They were not bad looking fellows, and said they were on their way to Den ver from Ohio. When they were search ed four $luO bills and a twenty dollar gold piece were found on the person of Lee. They had been bumming their way they said, and did not know each other's names. Steele Bays they had been loafing around the Union Pacific yards all the evening, and had seen several trains go by west bound, though they claimed to be waiting for the first train west The cases were continued till tomorrow, and the young men will likely be held till something can be heard about them.

WILL BE NO TROUBLE It is Thought That the State Department Has Assurances That the Allianca Matter .Will he Satisfactorily Adjusted. THE CUBAN REBELLION Is at Last Recognized hy the Spanish Government. Enlistments For the War Are Reported at New Orleans. Washington, March 29. Reports that the Spanish government is taking steps to meet the request of the United States in the Allianca affair, that the commander of the offending Spanish cruiser had been relieved from his ship and that orders have been sent to the other Spanish commanders in Cuban waters to observe the requirements of international law and refrain from Improper interference with the ships of the United States or other foreign nations has caused much gratification in official circles here. Although the state department de clines to admit the fact, there is reason to believe that these matters have been communicated to them either through United States Minister Taylor at Madrid, or through Senor Muruagua, the resi dent Spanish minister here. There is now no disposition in any quarter to doubt that the Spanish assur ances are satisfactory, so far as they go, and that the incident has already passed into a phase where it will yield to adjust ment by ordinary diplomatic methods. There is little doubt that the new Spanish minister will go to Cuba before coming here. The effect of this will be to leave Spain without a minister in the United States after the next two weeks. The Spanish legation denies the Florida reports that an expedition of 14,000 rev olutionists is about to leave Florida for Cuba, It is said, however, that actual enlist ments are now being made in New Or leans. From the Spanish standpoint the insurrection has been recognized as ex isting, and reports concerning it have been made to the state department The Spanish government, it is declared, does not intend to carry this recognition to the point of proclaiming a rebellion to be in existence, as this would be a step toward recognizing the insurgent cause for Cuba's independence. It is claimed also that the state de partment has in effect recognized the ex istence of insurrection, as it has invoked the operation of the protocol of the Spanish treaty which protects American citizens in Cuba charged with sedition, treason, or conspiracy, against trial by martial law. It is rumored that the Cuban revolu tionists have made indirect efforts to have the United States recognize them under the law of nations as belligerents. It is not known, however, that they have done more than urge the justice of their cause on senators aud members of con gress, and certainly there is no present prospects of the grant of any such recog nition." FOUND HE WAS RICH. At First He Was Treated as a Common Im migrant. Washington, March 29. Assistant Secretary Hamlin, sitting with Superin tendent Stump, of the immigration bureau, gave a hearing today to Francis B.

TUPPER STILL IN. Report of Resignation of Canadian Minis ter of Justice Denied. ToRONTO.Ont., March 29. The Toronto World says today tnat it nas good rea sons for believing thai Sir Charles Tap per will retain his portfolio as minister of justice. If this be so, and the World is generally well informed politically, it shows that the premier has succeeded in patching up a truce for the present at least The Mail, the government organ, gives strong denial to the whole resignation story. It says: Charles Tupper is still administering the affairs of his depart ment tie nas not tendered his resigna tion, and the statements sent broadcast over the world that he has, are untrue. lnis contradiction is given not only on the authority of the minister of justice. but with the emphatic confirmation of Sir Mackenzie BowelL" THE SENATE KILLED IT.

CHICAGO MA KICK V LETTER. Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange. Kooin 5, Columbian Building. Chicago, March 29. Wheat Exports of wheat, the action of foreign markets, receipts in the country, visible supply. stocks of wheat in Chicago and all influ ences that usuully effect our market seem to bo lost sight of just now. Speculators have concluded tuat the country is too dry, and that wheat should sell higher. This is the overruling influence just now, and there is doubtless a great deal of reason for it We got today nothing but complaints from the winter wheat sec tion. It looked yesterday as though there would be rain through the wast todav. The weather looked it, but the predic tions for tomorrow issued by the govern ment say there will be none, which car ried wheat from 55 to 56 vk cents for May. Each time the price has been there. enough wheat has been offered for sale to check the advance, but we believe that if this weather continues another week it will force the price of wheat higher. Corn has been dull and, considering the strength in other graius. weak Re ceipts are increasing a little and the grade is improving. Oats As we have already stated. about 600,000 bushels cash oats have sold here in the last two daya to go east. This makes the speculative market strong, and there has been more trade in may oats than there has been for the past two weeks altogether. Market very strong.

Tho thirty girls confined there took advantag-e of the presence of the representatives of the board of management to show what they' could do in the way of rioting. They .succeeded so well that 'they smashed nearly all the crockery in the house, dismantled the dining-room furniture, broke windows, threw the contents of the pantry about the premises, filled the air with shouts and then refused to go to their rooms at the command of the police. It required three wagon loads of police to quell the riot, and it was found necessary to carry the majority of the girls to their rooms by main strength, and to leave a policeman on guard throughout the night at the door of each room occupied by the girls. The outbreak was the result of a meeting held by the girls in the after noon, when it was decided to show by breaking the furniture resentment for the partiality shown by the manage ment, as claimed by the, girls, for Mamie Davis, who was allowed to go to her home. Mamie Davis, the girls claim, was the ring leader among them, and when she was allowed to go home the others de cided to take advantage of the presence of the members of the board of man agement to show their resentment for the alleged partiality. During the riot Mrs. Henrotin. and the other ladies were forced to remain in the room and witness the riot, the girls having locked the doors. LEGISLATORS ENGAGE I2T A FIGHT. Lincoln, Neb., March 29.

STATE JOITRXAU FRIDAY EVEtW. MiVROIT 29 1895. Highest of all in Leavening Power. mi 9 1 Nigass CIVIL SERVICE SHAM. Congressman Curtis Believes Win ners Should Have the Offices. ffKIHLEI CAB'T CARRY KA8SAS It He is Correctly Heported as Xot FavoriDf Free Coinage of Silver. The Republican city campaign was formally opened last night with a rousing rally at White's hall, at the corner of Sixth and Lake streets. There wa9 a good sized crowd out and one might have thought that a state campaign was in progress from the enthusiasm manifested by those present. The Second ward is the only ward in the city which some times goes Democratic, and it was a wise move of the city central committee which gave the first meeting to this ward. The principal speaker was Congress man Charles Curtis who will attend as many of the meetings held -before next Tuesday as possible. Frank Lindsey, who preceded Mr. Curtis took occa sion to say that "William McKinley will be the next Republican president. This was the climax of his address but the statement drew very little applause from the crowd. When it came Mr. Curtis's turn to talk he said: "I can not agree with the gen tleman and if William McKinley made the statements about silver attributed to him Kansas will never be for him." This statement was received in a man ner which indicates that Mr. Curtis is right "1 am not here to talk politics," con tinued the speaker. "I am here to urge you to vote the Republican ticket in this election. I am not here to say anything against aay otner ticKet, because it is not necessary. I hope to see Mr. Fellows elected by the largest Republican ma jority ever given any one in Topeka. 'lhe way to win in politics is to win the city, the county, the state and then the na tional fights. "If this house was full of Democrats, I wouid feel safe in saying that not one would Jare stand up and endorse the present Democratic administration. It would be a sin to charge you with en dorsing the national administration. The people of Kansas cannot endorse the policy of the Democrats, and if it is kept up two years longer the Democratic party will be third in the race. Ap plause. 'The first thing of all now required is to give to this country the money of the constitution, gold and silver aud paper redeemable in gold or silver. Then pro tect American industries aud American labor and we will return to peace and prosperity. "I am satisfied of one thing and that is when the people get a chance to vote they will condemn the party which is sues bonds in time of peace. "Now, my friends, I tell you what I want to Bee on next Tuesday: I want to see the largest Republican majority To peka ever gave. I hope there will be no division in the Second ward, and not even a constable elected outside of the party. I was more than pleased when you elected a councilman two years ago and you must do the same thing again. "There is just one thing more I wish to say and it may not be endorsed by my audience. There is an old saying that to the victors belongs the spoils. JS'ow, while I do not wish to say exactly the' same thing, I do believe that the win ners in the tight should have the offices. I hope that when the Republican city administration gets in that none but Re publicans will be given work on the streets. "1 have seen enough of this civil serv ice business and I am free to say that it is a sham. I have seen old employes hive their wages reduced and hundreds turned out bacause thev were Repub 1 cans and if the Democrats do this the Republicans should give them the same medicine. I made just one kick when I returned from Washington. I heard that a leading Populist was kept on the police force and 1 wanted to inquire whr his place was not given to some deserving JK -"tiblican." 6 Mr. Curtis closed by saying nice things The Mills, JUST RECEIVED BY EXPRESS THIS EVENING A very handsome line Made of Cloth of Silk and of Lace.

In the district court today Pope pleaded guilty to as sault and was lined flO and coats, lhe sentence is not nearly so mild as it looks for the costs were $87.25. 1 When the war between the colored newspapers was at its highest last sum mer, the rivals did not hesitate to "persify" through their columns. One day the Blackman made Pope so mad that he "departed his raiment" to the ex tent of taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves, and went out to lookfor Editor Driver.

Things are now arranged juat about the way that best suits men of the Carnegie class. The finances of the country are on a gold basis and the tar iff situation is not as bad for him as it might be. It is a pretty safe proposition that Whatever suits Carnegie is inimical to the best interests of the masses. The train robbing season has opened early this year, and indications are good for an abundant crop. Political suicide is what the St Louis Post-Dispatch calls McKinley'a utterance cm the silver question. There is no uncertain sound about Great Britain's demand on Nicaragua for $75,000 indemnity. Three months is al lowed in which to pay it, and all the time desired to talk it over afterwards. Of course Nicaragua will pay the money. It is customary to comply with England's demands and without much hesitation. She doesn't wait for a change of minis try, as we are doing in the case of Spain, nor for official information of outrages as in the case of John L. Waller. Eng land would have known by this time whether or not Waller had been wronged. Has England's attitude toward Nicara gua any connection with the prospective fcanal? Albion has a weakness for eanals. Benjamin Harrison undoubtedly has .a eye on the presidency. He is begin ning to cultivate one of the qualifica tions for the position by going a fishing this week. The system inaugurated by Mayor Pingree of Detroit, of granting to the poor the use of unoccupied land iu the city, bids fair to spread all over the coun try. Even sleepy old St. Louis Is adopt ing it. The Atlanta Constitution is having fun with the New Orleans Picayune. In an unwary moment the Picayune, in dis cussing the silver question, asserted that the silver advocates desired to pay their debts in cheap, depreciated 50 cent dol lars of silver and'in the same connection said that they wished to enrich the sil ver miners by making their product worth $1.29 an ounce. The Constitution now persists in asking how it is possible, if silver is raised in value to $1.29 an ounce, the dollars coined therefrom can be depreciated dollars. The Picayune hasn't answered it yet. When it does much light may be thrown on the cur rency problem. According to the testimony of her sis fer Anna Dickinson must have been real tough. It seems they made the mistake of sending her to an insane asylum, when they should have placed her in a Keeley Institute. Gov. McKinlst having placed his fences in an excellent state of repair in the' south, will next turn his attention to the west. He will find his enclosures In a terribly dilapidated condition Out here, and the further west he comes the worse he will find things. He will need a pocket full of silver spikes cut here. The facts concerning the recent train robbery la Kentucky afford a strong sus picion that the whole affair was worked up by the zealous detective anxious to earn his salary. The railroad company had hired detectives to see to it that their trains were not robbed. What ia more natural than that one of their number should seek out a few lawless fellows ripe for such business and plan the robbery merely in the way of busi ness. It would naturally tend to a con tinuance of their jobs. Mr. A. A Robinson, who has been some time in Mexico in connection with the management of the Mexican Central railroad, adds his testimony to the great mass of evidence regarding the great benefits resulting from the free use of silver as money. The people of the United States might as well be enjoying some of the prosperity resulting from an abundance of American money and would be doing so, if the control of af fairs had not drifted into the hands of the gold worshippers. The beneficial results of free coinage of silver at this time would be greatly enhanced by the fact that it has been demonetized over so large a portion of the world. If the European countries had the silver mines that we have, they would not wait for any conference with anybody but would restore silver at once.

Strong City society is about to emerge from the dizzy mazes of the dance to get into the entangling meshes of the bam- moot. A Garden City barber was held up the other night and robbed of $27. Looking into two revolvers he forgot to "draw his steel." The Emporia Gazette will be edited and got up by the women of the Presby terian church the Saturday before Easter. A Cawker City man has found another way to live off the public. He tapped the maple trees in the court house square for sap.

Ralph Ingalls Undertakes to Help a Wo man and Gets Arrested. Kansas City people have the laugh on Ralph Ingalls. He was walking along one of the streets of that place yester day and saw a woman struggling under the weight of a heavy box, which she was trying to carry to her house. Ingalls, with the gallantry born to every Atchi son boy, onered his assistance, and while helping the woman carry the box across the pavement, was arrested on a charge of being implicated in the theft of the same. Of course he had no trouble in explain ing the mutter, but he has ceased believ ing everybody is as honest as Atchison people. Atchison Globe.

Eight Students Graduated by the Kansas Medical College. BANQUET FOLLOWS THE GRADUATION Bright Thing Said by Those Who Be- ponded to Toasti. The high school auditorium was well tilled last night, the occasion being the commencement exercises of the Kansas Medical college. Dr. J. E. Minney, dean of the college, presided. Other mem bers of the faculty, Judge A. IL Horton and Captain J. G. Waters occupied the rostrum. A quartette composed of Messrs. O. L. and G. L. Garlinghouse, R. E. and W. E. Kelson opened tne exercises. Rev. M. F. McKirahan offered prayer, end Mis3 Alice Fritz gave a piano sola Dr. Minney gave a short introductory talk, and Capt. J. G. Waters made an address on '"The Kansas Doctor and the People of Kansas." Capt. Waters spoke in his characteristically happy style. His talk indicated that it is the nicest thing in all the world to be a doctor, and a pre-eminent cause for pride to be a Kansas-made Kansas doctor. Inciden tally Mr. Waters iaformed the faculty that their hired chorus did not know when to applaud. He paid a high trib ute to Kansas and Kansas institutions, particularly her schools, and protested against altruism and the Napoleon fad now in vogue. Miss Isabel Lamont rendered a charm ing solo, and responded to an encore with "Last Sight." Dr. G. Stewart spoke feelingly on behalf of the faculty. In. referring to the women who have graduated from the Kansas medical college, he paid a pleasing compliment to the sex, saying its members were specially fitted to ehiae in the medical profession. Dr. Stewart said: "The intuitions of women under culture are unerrine, and the difference made in medical colleges by their presence is the strongest argu ment for their admission to them." Mr. W. L. Gilpin and Miss Alice Fritz rendered a duet, after which Judge Hor ton gave a short talk and conferred the degree of M. D. on Beven of the eight candidates tor tnat nonor, Willis Dana Btorrs being absent because of illness. The other seven members of the class were George Elliott Noggle, Frances Kowley, Charles IL Gillman Crowther, Joseph Harry Hindman, Emma Linton Hill, Ernest Wilson Minney and Guy Austin TulL The diplomas were tied with ribbon in the college colors, yellow and purple, and members of the faculty graduating class, alumni and friends of the college wore small bows of the same. The prize, a set of surgical instruments In case, offered by Swift and Holliday, for the best examination In surgery, was awarded to Dr. G. A. Trull. The quartet closed the exercises, and the faeult3 alumni and their friends vent to the Copeland, where a well spread table awaited them. After the gueats were seated and aa the serving of the delicious menu pro gressed, Dr. a E. Sheldon, toastma3ter, proposed toasts as follows: "The Alum ni of the Kansas Medical College." Dr. Harriet Adams's response was one of the happiest hits of the evening. Dr. R. E. Buckmaster also responded to this toast, giving the new doctors the benefit of his year's experience. "The Class of '95" was responded to by Drs. Hill and TulL "From a Neurotio Standpoint" Dr. Lindsay said: Coming from Captain Waters' patriotic speech to the exotic decorations of the banquet table, I hope my remarks on the neurotic will not have a hypnotic effect." "From a Medico-Legal Standpoint" Judge Horton told one of his good stories. Dr. Minney told how the world looks through an Opthalmoscope, and present ed each member of the class with a vol ume of a new and valuable medical work, said to be a token of their preceptor. Dr. Sheldon's, esteem, but which Dr. Minney assured them was an endeavor to square himself for the cruel thumps he had given them during the session. His individual pre sentations were highly original, and elicited much laughter and applause. Dr. R 8. Magee responded well to the toast "As You See It Physiologically," apologizing for a very bad snake story by saying that though Georze Washing ton never told a lie, he made" love to six different girls at the same time. Dr. W. E. McVey's "Laryngoscopic Views" were very entertaining, as with a scholarly reference to Dickens' love of study of the "flare of the flame," he held up to .the view of the company, a series of dissolving views, aa it were, which cleverly pictured the future of each member of the graduating class. Each response made special expression of good wishes for Dr. Ernest Minney, who had just entered a life partnership. Those who were seated around the beautifully-spread banquet table were: Judge and Mrs. Guthrie, Rev. and Mrs. McKirahan, Dr. and Mrs. W. 8. Lindsay, Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Minney, Dr. and Mrs. E. Sheldon, Judge A. H. Horton, Dr. and Mrs. G. Stewart, Dr. and Mrs. W. E. McVey, DiT D. D. Wilson of Nortonville, Miss Isabel Lamont, Bf. C. S. McClintock, Miss Mil ler, Dr. and Mrs. J. A.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CALL Annual State Convention Will Ba Held April 85, in Topeka. The eighth annual convention of the Kansas Republican league is to be held in Topeka on April 25. It is expected that the meeting will be one of the larg est ever held. A prominent feature of the meeting will be the address of Con gressman J. P. Dolliver of Iowa. Fol lowing is the call: To the members of the Kansas Eepublican League and Kepublicaa Clubs of Kansas: Since the last meeting of the Kansas Republican league the grand old party has achieved one of the most overwhelm ing victories in its history. The incom petency and cowardice of the present national administration have been re buked at the polls, and the pessimistic views and chimerical theories of popu lism have been repudiated by a loyal and hopeful people. Kansas has been redeemed and will again assume her rightful place in the Republican column. The members of the Republican League Clubs have done their whole duty in accomplishing this result. There yet remains to be consum mated the entire overthrow of Democracy and calamity in the whole nation, and the Republican leagues in the future, as in the past, will be in the fore-front of the battle. The Eighth Annual Convention of the Kansas Republican League is hereby called to meet in Hamilton Hall, in the citv of Topeka, on Thursday, April 25th, 1895, at 10 o'clock a. m. Its session will be continued until its business is com pleted. The business of the convention will be to elect officers for the ensuing year, to elect delegates to represent the state in the annual convention of the National Republican League of the United States, which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 19th, 1895; and to transact such other business as may coma before the meeting. Each Republican club in Kansas is en titled to be represented in tfria conven tion by its president, who is an ex-officio delegate, and by three other delegates to be chosen by the club. Every Repub lican organization in the state, whether it has been identified with the state league or not, is entitled to representa tion. Tne names and addresses of the dele gates should be sent to Charle3 E. Gault, secretary, Topeka, on or before April 23rd, to facilitate making up the rolL The railroad) will sell tickets at re duced rates. Hon. J. P. Dolliver of Iowa, one of the most noted orators of the lower house of congress, has positively promised to be present and address the league. Other prominent speakers will add to the en tertainment of the meeting. The officers and execu'ive committee of the league bespeak th e co-operatio 1 of the various county central couiui.uoes and all other Republican organizations in making this, annual meeting a success and request that these organizations see to it that they are 11 represented in the convention. The Republican press of Kansas ia requested to give this call the publicity ita merits and to me tta best endeavors to make this the greatest annual meeting in the history of the league. C M. Sheldon, 'Chas. E Gaclt, President Secretary. Topeka, March 26, 1895. To the People 01 the Fifth Ward or the City Of Topeka. In presenting myself to you as a can didate for election to the City Council I beg leave tolay before you the motives which actuate me in asking your sup port: First A large portion cf the Fifth ward has been flooded every year since 1883 (when there happened to be a usual quantity of rainfall) to the great damage of property and inconvenience to the people. This is entirely due to defective engineering, and I promise to use my best and incessant efforts to have the evil effectually remedied. Second For several years past many of the working people of the city have been and now are unable to obtain any occupation by which they may earn a j livelihood, and are therefore driven by extreme want to pauperism, the rock pile, the souphouses, and perhaps crime in order to avoid utter starvation this need not be and should not ba If elected I promise to use every en ergy towards the erection of a stone bridge acros3 the Kansas river at Kan sas avenue to the end that many skilled and unskilled workmen, residents of To peka, may find honorable employment and that the city maybe vastly benefitted by the result of their labor. Home labor, home materials and no bonds or boodle are the conditions upon which I propose this work. This will encourage private enterprise and promote general business on a sound basis to the advantage of all, without issuing bonds. Third I also promise, if elected, to inaugurate a custom whereby, in all im portant legislation of the council, the people will be consulted by their repre sentatives, their wishes expressed and that expression made to govern the Vote of councilmen thus destroying all op portunity sfor boodle. Fourth I shall try to behave myself as a citizen should, whether in or out of official position, treating all as citizens and none as partisans. If these sentiments should meet your approval, vote for me. If they Bhould not meet your approval vote against me. With sentiments of good will to all, I am, Very cordially, Joseph Marshall. ten star POPULAR LOW PRICE GROCERY Every article advertised can be found here and can be purchased at the price advertised. belling goods close to cost and buying in great quantities gives us a start in the direction of low prices that other houses find impossible to overcome.

5i I e STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY, EVENING, MARCH 29. 1895, Emery, Bird, Thayer Co. SUCCESSORS TO The most elaborate "Open ing" we have ever attempted will be held here Saturday. We ask you to come to this exhibition of the most ad vanced ideas, expecting to see the latest creations of the most celebrated artists. From Madames, Carlier, L. Colonih, Jossie, Esther Meyer, Cam ill e Roger. Moris, Virot Felix, Eugene Pariset. We have received direct im portations, and you'll get the first view of these exquisite ideas on Saturday. Bicycles. Ladies and rien's. We are now selling' Bicycles. We ure selling a High Grade $100 Bicixle for $50.00 T7e have often been importuned to deal in .Bicycles, but steadfastly refused, because we could not buy the high est grade of Bicycles and sell them as we do Dry Goods, etc., and there fore could not benefit you our cus tomers. Time was when patents on different parts of the Bicycle held the price up so high that it forbade the selling' on the same basis we do other lines of merchandise. Now the most important patents have expired the field of Bicycle manufacture is open to anyone. After much inves tigation and careful examination of various samples sent us by leading manufacturers of the country we have selected the highest grade wheel we could find. We have bought 250 of these regular $100 High Grade Bicycles and will sell them for S50 each. This wheel is the "Tuxedo" in both ladies' and men's styles. Every intelligent bicyclist knows r tha t a wheel costs nowhere near $100. When you pay S100 for a wheel you are paying the agents an enormous profit. They, as a rule, have large expenses sell on the installment ,plan, etc. What we are going to do is to strip the bicycle of all extrava gant expenses and sell it to you on the same basis of profit as we do our general lines of merchandise we are going to sell 250 of the highest grade bicycles For $50 Each. This means $25,000 For $12,500. Your chice of three colors of enam eling Maroon. Black and Olive. If you are thinking about buying a wheel, then it is of vital importance for you to know about this v.heeL How can you save S50 easier than by buying a $100 wheel of us for S50?

MADE STATE ACCOUNTANT. J. E. Challinor or Kansas City Appointed By Gov. Morrill. Governor Morrill today named J. E. Challinor, of Kansas City, Kansas, as state accountant State accountant is a new job which was created by the last legislature at the instance of Governor Morrill, who wants some ODe to keep track of the various state boards and report to him where they spend their money. The position of state accountant is worth $1,500 a year, and there were but two known applicants for the position, W. IL Nelson of Smith county, and John Schilling of Hiawatha. Mr. Challinor, the man who was today appointed vo that position, is said to be an expert accountant who has for several years been employed in that capacity by the various Kansas City packing houses. Mr. Challinor has recently been em ployed at Fowler's packing house. Scate Senator Edwin Taylor of Wyan dotte county, who was here today as a member of the penitentiary investiga tion committee, when asked about Mr. Challinor, said he had never heard of him and did not know such a man. Mr. Challinor is an entirely new man in political circles, and not a single man has been seen in Topeka today who' knows him.' It is said that the Kansas City packing houses having contributed largely to the Republican campaign fund last fall, their endorsements were considered in the matter of two appointments, one of which made Mr. Challinor state ac countant today and the other caused the appointment of W. G. Bird as labor com-. missioner a few weeks ago. A BRIDGE TRUST. I Said to Exist at St. Louis and Will Be Investigated. Springfield, I1L, March 29.

The resolution provides for the appointment of an investigating committee of five. The resolution was taken up and adopted. Senators Campbell, Green, Evans, Musset and Kingsbury were appointed a committee uuder the resolution. j. -the Mills, Flower, Adams Co., S"tbr? !?As for Saturday. Miss Meridith Credited With Getting the Hutchinson ftuformatory Appropriation. Representative Bone of Clark, said to a Wichita reporter, Monday: "Do you know that the one who got the biggest appropriation for western Kansas, from the legislature, was a young woman? Well it was. The largest appropriation given was that for the completion of the reformatory at Hutchinson, and Mias Edith Meridith secured it Her father worked like a Trojan for the bili, and of course did much to secure its passage, but it is doubtful whether he would have been successf ai were it not Tor his pop ular daughter. When the bill passed the house, to a great extent due to her diplomacy, she followed it to the senate, and to my personal knowledge prevent ed its slaughter there. Oh, I tell you, the power and influence of a bright young woman cannot be over-estimated U. P. REORGANIZATION. A Committee II a Been Formed for Pro taction of Bondholders.

Tap pen, chairman; Louis Fitzgerald, Thorn-is Denny and W. E. Roosevelt of this city; Oliver Ames, of Boston, and George E. Leighton, of St. Louis. The failure of congress to adjust the government lien on part of the Union Pacific system, the suit for foreclosure of the Denver extension mortgage and other foreclosure proceedings, the seri ous questions existing as to the proper application of the earnings of the Kansas Pacific railway and allied lines, have brought on complications which it is claimed demand prompt action on the part of the bondholders to protect their rights.

Important Decision Regarding Vacated City Additions. It is Made hy Judge Emery in a i Horton Case. OTHER STATE NEWS. A Wichita Man Has Invented a New Flying Machine, Atchison, March 29. Judge Emery, of the Hiawatha district, rendered aa important decision a few days ago, which affects nearly all of the larger Kansas towns. During the boom the town of Horton, like otli9r towns, took in much adjoining property which it did not need, and the owners, to avoid city taxes, afterwards se cured tha passage of special legislative acts, vacating such additions. W. Jr. (iuthrie, in foreclosing a mort gage on some property in Horton Heights, one-of the additions taken out, made a point that the special act of the leg islature taking the addition out of the city of Horton was unconsti tutional, as legislative bodies can not pass special acts where general leg islation will apply. Judge Ornery sus tained the point. The question was brought up in the foreclosure suit by the wife of the defendant, who had not signed the mortgage, and who claimed six. acres exempt from the process of the mortgage as her homestead. The limit of exemptions In cities is one acre, but in the country it is 160 acres. She was allowed one acre by the court As soon as the decision was announced Horton's city assessor commenced assess ing all additions which were formerly a portion of the city. The county assessor will also make returns on the property, and a clash will result in the final and definite settlement of the case in the highest courts. WORK OF THK REGENTS. The Appropriation for K. l;. Distributed and Professors -Elected. Lawrence, March 29. The board of regents of Kansas University spent most of the time considering the distribution of appropriations among the different departments of the school. The amount to be appropriated this year is $100,000 instead of $75,000 as in past years. Provision was made for a full assistant in the English department of the school and for student assistants from the higher classes to help correct these and other work in the department. Miss Edith Clark was elected assistant librarian and Mr. J. H. Engle was chos en as student assistant in the library. Kev. Hector W. Cowan was elected as sociate professor of physical culture and Mr. E. C. Franklin was elected associate professor of chemistry. The degree of A. B. was granted to T. W. Buther and the degree of Ph. G. to the following: Denton Hogoboom, Wil liam Pagh, Louis Bergman, 8. E. Himoe and Robert Wat Prof. G G. Dunlap was granted a leave of absence of one year to study abroad, provided that he furnish a sub stitute satisfactory -to the committee to do his work. Prof. Carl A. Preyor was granted a leave of absence till Septem ber to go to Vienna and study music. The board took no aetion in regard to the establishment of a medical school in Kansas City, as it was found that the money necessary tor the opening of new buildings would not permit of the ex penditure. Whatever is done in this line will have to be by private subscription emong the citizens down there. The board adjourned till June without mak ing any change in employes. ROASTED TO DEATH. Aa Aged Woman Burned In Xear Leavenworth. Her Chair. Leavenworth, March 29. News reached here this evening of the burning to death yesterday of Mrs. Mary A. Brown, an aged farmer's wife living close to Ackerland, fiieen miles from this city. Mrs. Brown has been an invalid for many years, being unable to walk. She was sitting in front of a stove when a spark flew out and set her clothing on tire. She was in the house alone, and could do nothing towards putting the fire out She screamed loudly, which her son heard at the barn, and hastening to the house found his mother all afire on the floor in her death agony. He used water to put out the flames, but she died before it could be accomplished. The invalid's chair she sat in was almost burned up, and Mrs. Brown was literally roasted alive. She was 83 years old and was a Kansas pioneer. WIX HAVE OH rJB WEEKLY. K. U. Students Decide to da Away with Other Papers Next Fall. Lawrence, March 29.

A Wichita Man Claims That He Has Made Air Navigation Praetioable. Wichita, March 29. E. B. Stearns has just completed a small flying machine that is a marvel of beauty and mechan ism. The machine has been photo graphed and is attracting much comment and attention. The figure of a man with wings under his arms and a propeller at hia feet is seen flying in the air. Stearns says the lifting power will be 600 pounds. A little kite will lift two and a half pounds to the square foot In this flying machine there are 300 square feet which will have a lifting power of 600 pounds. The inventor U very -enthusiastic over the merits of the machine. The propeller is six feet with four fans, making 1,003 revolutions per minute. The motive power is furnished by the foot on the same principle as a bicycle ana runs direct behind the machine. TO HAVE A NEW OPERA HOUSE. Efforts Making to Get a New One at the fcoldlers' Home. Leavenworth, Marob. 29. This week's issue of tha Soldiers' Home Re veille says it U within the limit of possi bilities that in the not distant future the home may secure the construction of a new opera house and theater. Efforts are making in that direction, but as yet nothing definite can be hazarded as to the probable outcome. If the project succeeds, the new edifice will be con structed on the model of the opera house at the Dayton home, the ground plans and specifications of which have baen forwarded by Governor Thomas to Gov ernor Smith. It is well known the acouatio-properties of Franklin hall are deficient, and a new opera house, properly, constructed, would be gladly welcomed not-only by the home membership, bat also by Leav enworth itself, who would find her means of entertainment largely increas ed. GIVEN TO CUSTER'S REGIMENT. The Picture "Custer's Last Fight" Given the Seventh Cavalry. Fort Riley, March 29.

Washington, March 29. Senator Stewart of Nevada is among those who do not consider the prospects for an in ternational monetary conference as very bright He does not believe that one will be called. Referring to the matter he said: "The main dependence of those who count upon an international confer ence appears to rest upon the supposi tion that Germany will take the initia tiva I do not expect Germany to move in that direction. "It is well to remember that whatever the reichstag may resolve, action still rests with the emperor and I do not see any favorable augury for silver in the fact that the new chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, has received instructions to consult Bismarck in affairs of state. Th revival of the Bismarck influence is not favorable to silver in that quarter." T 0 PEKA IS THERE. Our Pictures at the Meeting ef Western Drawing Teachers. Aurora, Ills., March 29.

It baa been the leading subject I' f professional research ana atuav la ail ages. Xi notwiuiaii uu uig ui t iabi 11 ia uoi 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- j tive is this portion of tha nervous ys- tern that eves the prick of a needle will cause Instant death. Eeoent discoveries 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 la re membered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the Injured point, because the nerve force la prevented, by the Injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement ot the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nersa centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating fu the organ lt self. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. Dr. Franklin Milks, the celebrated spe cialist. has profoundly studied this subject for over 20 years, aud Las iade many important discoveries in connection with it, chief among them being the facta contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. AU headache, dizzi ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues mania, melucUoly. iusanlty. epilepsy. Sjl. Vltus dance, et., are nervous uiseases no matter how caused. The wonderful success of' Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that it is based on the foregoin; principle.

In order that this may be accomplished, it is said charges will in a few days be filed with Governor Morrill against Mrs. Mary E.

If Mrs. Lease, Senator Householder ind Captain Wait can all be removed ;here will be but one Populist left on the board of charities, Walter N.

AMERICAN TRAGEDY DIED WITH HIM, .Booth Claimed That the Pnblic Didn't Know Oood Ac tins When it Sw It. While John Griffith, who played in Faust at the Grand last night, is a com paratively young man and this is the tirst starring part he has ever played, he has held positions in some good com panies. For a considerabfe time he was with Booth, and was afterwards with Keene. 'There is the mo3t over estimated man on any stage, saia ne, speasing 01 Keene. "I used to play with him, and thought honestly that he was great- I have since found out my error. Keene is a ranter, a barn stormer. He is con sidered so among the profession and among the critics. He has a wonderful hold on the people in the west, but has no following in the east at all. They laugh at him there. "oince Booth died we have had no great tragedian in America. Jot one great tragedian. With Booth, really gaud native tragedy lett America.: Ana yet befuie Booth died he was in his decline and knew it He went off the stage be cause he knew he was rosing' his power as an actor, not because he was losing his power as a house packer. ''Ah, Booth was an actor. He could do more with one slight gesture of that left hand of his than many au actor posing as great could do with all his voico and body. "In speaking of the public and actors once, Booth said to me j '.Uy boy, the public is ignorant It doesn't know act ing and it never wilL It takes a young man to act From twenty to thirty-nve's the age. When I was young and full of fire, and could act, I put my whole soul into my part aQ(i people said I ranted and would never be an actor. When I became old and learned the tricks of the hand and eye to aid my voice, be cause I had no longer the tire to put pas sion in my work, I used them, and the public applauding, said it was 'finish,' and called me great Nobody came to see me when I was young and could act but after I got old and gave them tricss in the place of it I never failed to pack a house.' 'Booth was one of the kindest of men, and I learned more in the short time I was with him than I ever learned out side of it" DISMISSAL MORNING.
