Thousand File, By the Silver Champions Two TO SHAKE HANDS. "Women as SYell a3 Men Attend the .Reception. Gen. Warner Freely Denounces Cleveland's Letter. Denver, Colo., April 16. An immense throng last night congregated at the Brown Palace hotel to greet two cham pions of silver, ex-Congressman J. C. Sibley and Gen. A J. Warner, and to ex tend to them a hearty welcome to the state. The rotunda of the hotel had been profusely decorated with flags and plants, while over the entrance, where the guests of the evening were standing, had been draped with two American flags, joined at the top by a large shield m"de in imitation of the silver dollar. Each gallery of the seven floors was crowded, while the floor of the rotunda was packed with eager people of both Bexes, all anxious to do homage to the veterans of the silver cause. At 8:15 a band announced the approach of the guests. Their appearance was greeted by a burst of applause. Gov. islclntyre introduced the two gentlemen whose coining had caused such an out pouring. Ex-Congressman Sibley was the first to respond to the introduction and while, as he said, it was not occasion for speech making, still he could not refrain from Baying a few words in regard to silver, lie stopped himself, however, before he hail fairly entered into the subject and invited all his hearers to attend the great meeting to bo held tomorrow. General Warner followed, and in a few words thanked the audience for the re ception and the enthusiasm displayed. Both speakers seemed bo full of their subject that it was with difficulty they retrained from making lengthy speeches. After the introduction a line formed and the crowd filed by the two gentle men to skake their hands. There was such a jam that a single line could not be maintained. For over two hours the hand-shaking was continued. MUST BE A NEW PARTY.. Silver Advocates Denouuce Cleveland's Letter and Emphasize Their Views. Denver. April 16. General A. J. Warner in an interview stigmatized President Cleveland's letter as a dishon est representation of facts, which con tained an apprehension of defeat and an acknowledgment of the great battle that was pending. '-But thare must be a new party," he added. "We must mass the millions of voters who want bimetallism. I think that party will be formed. If I did not, I would go home and stay there." Mr. Sibley said that from a hasty perusal of the letter, he judged it was a string of glittering generalities, empty words signifying nothing. Gen. J. B. Weaver characterized the let ter as stupid. He said: "It ia evident that Mr. Cleveland and the gold wing of the Democratic party will ally them selves with the Republican party in the next campaign. In fact there will be but two parties the gold and bank party, represented by the Republican ticket and the United Reform move ment, or Alliance, consisting of the Popu lists, free silver Democrats and free sil ver Republicans." ANOTHER FAIR WILL TURN. Baby Oelrichs Is Arrayed New Against His Parents' Interests. San Francisco. April 16 Another queer complication has arisen in the Fair will case. The Fair children, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Miss Virginia Fair and Charles Fair have instituted a con test of the first will of their father, which left hia immense property in the hands of executors appointed by him, and they have petitioned the court to have the will produced by Mrs. Cravens, which leaves the property to the children with out reservation, declared genuine. Now comes Van B. Patterson, who was appointed by the court to represent the minor heira, among whom is Herman Oelrichs, jr., grandson of James G. Fair, with a petition to have the Cravens will declared fraudulent and to have the first will declared the only original and proper will. Although the application on behalf of Baby Oelrichs is directly against the in terests of his parents, they have nothin" to say in the matter, as Patterson holds the authority of the court to represent their child as well as the other minor heirs.

TUESDAY HELD UP ANi ENGINE. Kobbers Board a Locomotive Right in the Heart of Chicago. Chicago, April 16. A railroad engine was held up by highwaymen in one of the busiest parts of the Chicago switch ing system early today. The engineer and fireman of a Chicago and Eastern Illinois locomotive was attacked by three men and each robbed of a watch and money. Eogineer Bigelow wa3 shot in the head when he raised an alarm as the robbers were escaping. His wounds are not fatal. MUCH CUBAN SYMPATHY. Senator Call Belives the Rebellion. Una Lots of Support. Washington", April 16. When Sena tor Call of Florida, who has taken, an ac tive interest in the Cubau cause, was asked today if he aensidered it probable that the United States would take any steps looking to the recognition of Cu ban independence, he replied that he thought that this country should not only recognize the independence of the island, but that it should guarantee the bonds of an independent government. He said that he had given Secretary Gresham his views on this point, but had not received any assurance from the secretary that such a course would be pursued. The senator stated that it was his understanding that almost the entire population of the island, including a large majority of the rich planters, out side of a few full-blood Spaniards and possibly some residents of Havana, were committed to the cause of Independence. And he explained the opinion that they could raise an army of 200,000 or 300,0 0, which would be efficient if they could secure supplies for their sustenance and military equipments. He added that the revolutionists had some competent lead ers, and he was quite sure they would make a determined effort to secure their liberty. Mr. Call also said that there were a great many sympathizers with the Cuban cause in this state where there are a large number of native Cubans and he said he had no doubt the native Cubans wherever found in this country would aid to the extent of their ability in furnishing the means for carrying on the struggle. He added that there were many wealthy men among them. COLOR LINE DRAWN. Methodist Ministers Don't Want to Admit Colored Kp worth Leagues. St. Louis, April 16. At a meeting of the ministers of the Methodist Episco pal church yesterday, the color line was drawn in the matter of admitting the colored branches of the Epworth league. Rev. Mr. Leuig claimed that to admit the colored branches would destroy the plan of the league. Rev. A. R. Brown, a colored man, said if color was distasteful to the white brethren they would ask to be left out This was agreed upon. At a meeting of the Baptists preachers it was agreed to invite the colored branches of the church to attend their regular meetings. TO BOYCOTT ST. LOUIS. If She Has a Drill Tennessee Troops Can't Attend Memphis, Tenn., Apri, 16 Gen. A. R. Taylor, brigadier general of Tennessee, will issue an order today declaring that no Tennessee troops shall attend any drill in the city of St. Louis during the present nor in any other year while he commands the state troops, if the move ment to have an interstate drill in that city in 1893 is pursued. This step on the part of Gen. Taylor has been precipitated by the efforts of St. Louis people to hold a drill this sum mer in competition with the Memphis enterprise. HOLD UNTIL MAY 1. Some of the New City Officers Not to Take Their Places Now. City Physician Hibben still holds his position although his successor has been appointed. He with the old sanitary force will probably hold their positions until the first of next month. The food inspector, W. H. Gilfillan, is also holding hia position and will serve until Mav 1. Then he will be succeeded by J. P. Farnsworth. Mayor lellows said today that the new appointees for these offices will take their places on the first of the month. POINT IRRIGATION. Condemnation of Land for Ditches De clared Lawful by a Nebraska Judge. Korth Platte, April 16. Judge Sin clair of the district court has rendered a decision upholding the constitutionality of the irrigation law. He ruled that the provision of the irrigation act granting right of eminent domain was constitu tional The right of condemnation of right of way for irrigation ditches is by the deci sion placed upon the same basis as the condemnation of right of way for rail way lines. Xerxes whipped the rebellious sea. He was out of temper. Sweetness of temper follows the use of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. HIGHEST IN 27 YEARS. The Flood in the Merrimao River is Una hated. Nashua, N. H., April 16. The flood on the Merrimac river here this morning reached the highest point for 27 years and the water is still rising at the rate of two inches an hour. About 3,000 persons have been forced to stop work as a result of the freshet. Streets in the eastern part of the city tear the river are partly submerged. He veil Killed, in. Earthquake. Vienna, April 16. A dispatch from Laibach, capital of the duchy of Carniola, announces there were three fre3h earth quake shocks there yesterday evening and three more at 3 o'clock this morning.

William Rogers, Regent of the State University, Called Before the Committee of Investigation Charged With Being Boister ously Intoxicated W A PUBLIC PLACE. Said to Have Used Profane and Obscene Language In the Presence of Ladies at a Hotel. THE PLEA IS MADE That the Committee Should Not Inquire What Mr. Rogers Does Private Life. in The investigation of the charges brought by Cyrus Leland against Regent William Rogers of the state university, began at the bank commissioner's office this morning at eleven o'clock. The defense was not perhaps exactly un prepared when Sen. S. O. Thacher, who with Judge C. K Foote is the defendant's attorneys arose as soon as the investiga tion began and entered a motion for auashinir riirht there the further pro ceeding of the investigation that shall declare whether or not Senator William Rogers is a tit person to be on the board of regents of the Kansas state university. The investigation was to have begun at four o'clock yesterday but owing to the absence of Representative Lambert and Alexander Warner, members, the committee adjourned till today at nine o'clock. This did not better matters very materially however for Mr. Warner had succeeded in mixing up his dates to such an extent that ha had concluded not to be present till four o'clock this after noon and the committee had to wait on him for two hours. Mr. Rogers was on the carpet early and was not visibly affected. He shoos hands with each member of the commit tee and with his lawyers, and joined in the pleasant conversation on irrigation, the weather, the absence of Mr. Waraet and the obstinacy of committees in gen eral with a degree of warmth and jollity that left no suspicion of his mental suf fering if he had any. He walked the floor a part of the time, stood talking with different ones and sat at times with his legs cross ed and an active cigar between his lips. He was about the last man you would have picked out from among those pres- eut if you had Deen looKiug ior the ac cused. Cyrus Leland, Jr., whose name is signed to the charges in the case, was also early, and during the wait for Mr. Warner, put in his time chatting and .going out into the air to look for Mr. Warner, and occasionally saying a few things on the side to his attorney, David Overmyer. Two long tables had been placed in the bank commissioner's outer office in L shape, and at one of them sat the com mittee, with Chairman Wilcoxson in the middle, and at the other sat the attor neys. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Leland oc cupied opposite sides of the room, and the former sat in his chair with his legs crossed most of the time and pulling at his in evitable c.gar. 'ihere was no decrease ia his weight or his rotundity and he laughed heartily when Mr. Thacher ac cused Mr. Overmyer of drinking cham pagne at the Bilker banquet and Mr. Overmyer admitted it. In his motion to quash the indictment, Judge Thacher re-read the charges. There were three of them drunkenness, j immoral and indecent conduct and in- j competency. j t ine Charge oi immoral anu inaeceni conduct was accounted for in the peti tion by the statement that on the 19th day of inarch, lotfo, senator Kogers had been in a beastly state ot intoxication j at the Chesterfield hotel in lo- peka, and that he had used profane language at that time in the presence of ladies and been otherwise boisterous in conduct. It was charged also that he drank and kept intoxicating liquors in his committee room during the session of the legislature, while he was there as a senator, and that his habits of life ren dered him unfit and incompetent to serve on the board of regents of the state uni versity. "Mr. Wm. Rogers' private life is not in question before this committee," said J udge Thacher. "Mr. Wm. Rogers' life and habits as a senator are not in ques tion before this committee. You are here to investigate the habits and life of Mr. Rogers as a member of the board of resents only. WThat he does in an un official capacity you are not here to con sider. The law does not ask you to investigate his private habits. It is not your business to inquire what he may or may not do when he is not serving the state in the capacity of regent of its uni versity. What he doea or does not in his private life can make no difference to you as a committee to investigate what he does as a regent. I ask you then to dismiss this investigation." Mr. Overmyer had the table in front of him piled with books and papers and llong lists of citations and they were care- luuy arranged when he arose to repiy. His speech was lengthy and like Judge Thacher, he read the law and cited the legal aspects of. the case. "You have no right to dismiss this case," he said. "You have no right to EVENTING.-AP3IL 16. say this investigation shall not go on. You are here as a committee of investi gation appointed by the governor, the lieutenant; governor, and the speaker of the house of representatives. Your only province is to investigata These charges were filed with th8 governor of the state. He decided that there should be an in vestigation. You have no right to re verse him; no right to declare the creature greater than the creator. You have been commanded to investigate and you have no alternative. "You have no right to pronounce sen tence on this man whether you find him guilty by a majority vote or not guilty of the charges preferred. You have neither the power to continue him in office nor the right to suspend him from his office. The most and the the least you can do is to hear this evi dence, decide whether the charges ara true or not, and report your finding and submit the evidence to the governor. "And if you had the power to quash these proceedings now, would you want it to go back to the people of Kansas whom you repre sent that you considered these charges as nothing, if they are true. Would you like to have it said that you considered drunkenness a fair example to be hung above the university of the state where her youth is being educated? "If you or I were indicted on such a charge in such a position the most nat ural thing on earth for us to do would be to attempt to quash the proceedings. We would most likely have been doing something. If Judge Thacher was ac cused he would fly to an investigation." Judge Thacher replied briefly and the committee adjourned till 2 o'clock. A 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the Rog ers investigating committee adjourned to meet at the bank commissioner's office again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. At the reassembling of the committee at 2 o'clock, C E. Foote, counsel for the defendant, spoke in favor of the demur rer, and the committee retired to an in ner room to consider it. They were gone less than five minutes, and announced upon their return that they unanimously agreed the investigation should go on. Judge Thacher is necessarily in Law rence this afternoon, and that fact cou pled with the absence of some of the plaintiff's important witnesses, made the adjournment acceptable to all. CHAS. H. MANSLK HEAD. The Assistant Comptroller's Lingering Ill ness is Eluded. Washington, April 16. Mr. Charles II. Macaur, assistant comptroller of the treasury department, and formerly a member of congress from Missouri, died at 7 o'clock this morniug at the National hotel. His death had been expected for about a week. Mr. Mansur's remains will be taken to Richmond, Mo., where the interment will take place. The funeral train leaves this city at 3:40 this afternoon. DISPLAYS GREAT NERVE. Durant the Alleged Murderer Astonishes the Chief of Police. San Francisco, April 16. Chief Crowley is confident that Durant is the murderer of Blanche Lamont and Min nie Williams. In an interview the chief said: "During the many years I have been at the head of the police department I have had to do with hundreds of crimi nals of every grade, but I have no hesi tancy in saying that in view of the ter rible nature of the crime for which this man is held responsible, he is the pear of all in coolness and powerof self control." Sergeant Whitman found a small paper box at the entrance to the central police station this morning, in which were a woman's glove and lock of long brown hair, stained with red ink inside. In the glove was the following note: "You are 6n the wrong trail. Got the wrong bird. My handiwork; find me if you can. (Signed) '-Harry the Hackkr." There is no question but that the affair is a practical joke. EX-S EN. WILSON DY I NG. The Iowa Man Very III at His Home at Fairfield. Ottumwa, Ia., April 16. Ex-United States Senator James F.

"At the orphan asylum, was the re ply. "Is that so?" said the inquirer in ex citement. "Why, it must have been awful!" "Oh, no," said Harold, "it wasn't very bad. The building wasn't damaged much, and as soon as the fire was dis covered they sent the orphans home to their parents, so none of them was hurt." Kennebec Journal. Invigorating Atmosphere.

Big Storm Cut Her Off From the World. Eaed Furiously in Colorado and Southwest Kansas. DIRT MIXED IN SNOW. In Some Places it Virtually Rained Mud. The Storm Was Distinguished by Dense Darkness. Kansas City, April 16. A storm of great severity passed over eastern Colo rado, Kansas, O klahoma and the south west generally yesterday and last night. In Colorado and Kansas it is believed considerable damage was done, but it is impossible to learn anything from those sections because of the fact that all tele graphic communication ha3 been cut off since 3 o'clock yesterday. For a short time last evening Denver was reached on a very shaky wire, but after 30 minutes the wire failed, and since that time no word has been re ceived or sent into Denver over tele graph wires. The storm covered a wide area northward, the Denver wires via Omaha also being down. Reports from Oklahoma state that a destructive wind and sand storm passed over southern Kausas and Oklahoma yesterday evening, doing much damage to crops. A peculiar feature of the storm was the intense darkness and the ex traordinary electrical display. The at mosphere was surcharged with electric ity and several persons and horses were stunned and shocked by electric shocks. In the western part of Oklahoma and the Pan Handle Egyptian darkness pre vailed. Such a peculiar storm has sel dom been seen, and the superstitious thought the astronomical conditions which it has been claimed by a South Carolina minister are now repeating themselves for the first time since the death of Christ, had something to do with it. The ra.n that fell in western Oklahoma was actually a shower of mud. At 10 o'clock a. m. a slow wire had been sec ured to Denver, but it is not sure that it will hold good any length of time. Last night Denver and the Pacific coast could be reached only via St. Paul and northwest by way of Spokane, Seattle, Portland and thence down to San Francisco, and eastward via Reno and Salt Lake. DESVKK CUT OFF.. Has Practically No Communication With the Itest of the World. Desvkk, April 16. Denver is almost Completely cut off from telegraphic communication with the east by direct routes in consequence of the recent storm in eastern Colorado and in Nebras ka and Kansas. Several days will elapse before the damage can be repaired. Covered With Ked Sand. Denver, April 16. A dispatch from St. Elmo, Colo., says that after yesterday's storm everything in that neighborhood was covered with a thick coating of red sand. It must have come iu the snow. the dispatch adds, as there is no such sand in that section. BODY MARKS RECORDED. The Personal Description of Soldiers is Filed Away. Washington, April 16. About four years ago the war department began the practice of a system of personal records of soldiers with the purpose of providing an absolute means of identification. Med ical officers, by the use of figure cards, took careful note of every indelible or permanent mark on the persons of re cruits, and these were filed away in the office of the surgeon general. Last August congress passed an act to prohibit the reinlistment of men whose army service had not been honest and faithful, and immediately the data which had been previously accumulated be came of great value in preventing en listments of bad characters. At the beginning of the present calen dar year some statistics were gathered to show the workings of the system, and it was found that in the first three months of every thousand men enlisted from civil life, thirty-one were identified through the outline, figure card records as convitts, deserters or otherwise un desirable characters. The officials of the department are now thoroughly satisfied as to the merits of the system and us for the privates, they willingly pay the price of submit ting to the examination and record in consideration of being saved from ulti mate association with notorious scoun drels. WATERS STILL RISING. The Connecticut Going: I p Two Inches an Hour. n artford, Conn., April 16. The river is rising two inches an hour, and at mid night was at 22 feet 5 inches. The tem porary bridge to be used during the con struction of a new iron bridge was swept away by high water and drift wood. Anxiety is felt for the old bridge if the flood continues to rise. The corner stone of good housekeep ing is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. It's a sure foundation. Railroad Officers Aa.ieiiibliB. St. Louis, April 16. A large number of the members of the American Rail way association composed of the general officers of the principal railroads in this country, whose convention begins here tomorrow, have arrived, many of them in private cars, and the number will be swelled by those who expect to come in during the day and night.

Chagrin and anger succeeded the premature ela tion of Captain General Calleja over the supposed capture of Joseph Maeeo. Maceo's double was captured, but not Macea Anticipating unusual efforts to capture him, the wily Cuban general donned a disguise and went to the front in command. CoL Guerra was the one captured, while Maceo escaped to the mountain with a few of his followers. It is ex pected, however, he will be captured, as many small parties are in pursuit. At the head of one of the regiments of Cubans was Brigadier General Flor Crombet, who died a hero. His men, en couraged with inspiring words of cheer, fought like demons, but they were not well disciplined. They were brave but their reckless method of fighting count ed for naught when opposed to Spain's regulars. The onslaught was a tremendous one. Crombet determined to lead his force to victory or die in the attempt. With a cry of "All for Cuba," he sank hia spurs into his charger and dashed at the Span iards. WTithin fifty yards of Spain's line he fell, bleeding from many wounds. An instant before he died, he raised hia head and hia last words were, "God save Cuba from Spain." CYCLONE AT CHEROKEE. Cherokee, Kan., April 16. Late last night a cyclone struck the house of Frank Goodin, three miles west of here, and literally tore it to pieces, scattering the debris all over the cornfield. Mr. Goodin had his neck dislocated and will die. Mrs. Goodin was caught under the roof and pinned to the ground, her clothes taking fire. Her screams attracted the neighbors, who rescued her in time to save her life. She is not seriously injured. Half a dozen other farm houses in the immediate vicinity were also demolished, but nobodv.else was hurt. A SHOPPER'S LESSON. An Example Made of a Troublesome Non Buyer. One of those "shoppers" who seek to see rather than to buy, having kept a salesman of a Boston dry goods house busy for an hour in displaying1 the choicest goods, at last said: "I'll take si skein of silk." "Shall we send it to your address, madam?" asked the polite clerk, as he wrapped up the purchase. "You may," said she, without a blush, and handed him her card. The silk was sent by a messenger-boy. In Lon don, however, the retail dealers are not so polite, and they are not pleased to show their goods unless one buys liberally. The London Millinery tells this story of making an example of a woman who would look at goods with out buying any: A pompous lady, after teasing the shopman of a millinery establishment beyond the forbearance limit, ordered a spool of cotton to be sent to her house. It was agreed that she should be made an example of and a warning to her kind. She was surprised, and her neighbors interested, soon after she arrived homo. A common dray, drawn by four horses, proceeded slowly to her door. On the dray, with bare arms, were a number of stalwart laborers. They were hold ing on' vigorously to some object she could not see. The neighbors stared. After a deal of whip-cracking, the cart was backed against the curb. There, reposing calmly, end up, in the center of the cart, was the spool of cotton she had ordered. With the aid of a plank it was finally rolled, barrel-fashion, to the pavement. After a struggle it was placed on the purchaser's door-step. The fact that the purchaser came out a little later and kicked her property into the gut ter detracted nothing from the lesson. A. P. A. is the Issns. Rockford, I1L, April 10.

It has just been learned that the two little sons of Allie Dick, living about thirty miles south of Coolidge, in Stanton county, and a son of Mr. Orth, living' in the same neighbor hood, perished in the recent storm while out after their cattle. The children were not found until three days after. The fire alarm at 3:45 today was for a blaze in the roof of the brick boarding house on the northeast corner of Eighth and Quincy streets, owned by the Masonic societies and occupied by Street Railway Conduc tor Snyder. The damage will not ex ceed $200. It Saved His Keck. A party of vigilants in Missouri met a suspicious looking stranger, to whom the leader said threateningly: "We are looking for some horses that have been spirited aw'ay.

DEBTS HARDER TO PAY Money Has Steadily Increased in Exchangeable Value. Chicago, April 18. Mr. TV. H. Hai Tey, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Bimetallic league, whose headquarters are in Chicago, prepared yesterday the following' reply to Presi dent Cleveland's letter to the Chicag-o committee of business men: Co His Excellency, Grover Cleveland, Presi dent: Chicago, April 15. Dear Sir: In reply to four letter addressed to a committee of busi ness men of thi city, we wish to say that the committee that waited on you, and the persons -who attached their names to the petition such committee presented, did not represent a ma jority of the business men and citizens of this city, who take a deep interest in the welfare of this republic. They represented that olass that owns money and securities payable In money-fixed incomes. We respeotfully submit that your letter does not present the true merits of this controversy. You call the attention of farmers and wage earners to the fact that raisin prices, while enabling them to sell their product and labor at a higher price, will also cause them to pay equally more for what they purchase, but you neglect to say that your statement is not ap plicable to debts. With prices coming down regularly and steadily since the demonetiza tion of silver, our merchants, manufacturers, and the people generally, have been doing business on a falling market, bo that the tlma Intervening between the purchase of their merchandise or raw material and placing it months after on the market has removed the margin they would have otherwise made. This shrinkage in values, added to the ordi nary risk and expense of business, has lead to an ever-increasing volume of debt to a money lending period until it has Increased, all told, publio and private to about 840,000,000, about two-thirds of the total valuo of all tho prop erty In the United States. Money and those debts payable In money have been steadily Increasing In exchangeable value with the property of the people. A debt Cor $1,000 that 1,000 bushels of wheat would have paid ten years ago now requires the tarmer to give up 2.000 bushels of wheat in ex change for these dollars with whioh to pay the same debt. The debts now in existence are principally old debts, or renewed or re funded debts, or new debts contracted to pay old debts, or debts the people have been forced to contract by reason of the continued decline in prices. The owners of products must now give up twice as much property to pay their taxes as in 1873. Seventeen thousand bushels of wheat would have paid the president's salary of $2 000 in 1873, and it now requires 100,000 bushels of wheat t pay your annual salary of $50,000. We have constantly pointed out to the people the ever increasing interchangeable value of the creditor's dollar, and to the reason why it was increasing, but the influence of these cred itors has dominated your administration and you insist on such a currency as they have es tablished, as a sound currency. It means the confiscation of the property of the people by the sale of property under mort gages, judgments and exeoutions. It means that fixed incomes will wipe out the interest of stockholders in our railways and corporations. If it is an injustice to restore prices so that people can exchange their property for a sum-' cient number of dollars to pay their debts and bring happiness and prosperity to our land again, It was a greater injustice to destroy the value of property and enhance the value of money by demonetization of silver and the es tablishment of a single gold standard. So, that when you call the attention of tbe farmer and wage-earner to the fact that rising prices will make him pay more for what he buys, you should at the same time call his at tention to the fact that it would enable him to pay his debt, free him from bondage in which he has been unjustly placed and again make him the owner of a home and a free and Independent citizen. We might say further to him that rising prices oauxes money to seek investment, and would thus open tip the channels of com merce and trade and give employment to millions now idle. It is not more money that we want to borrow, but to pay off what we al ready owe. The more money we borrow the more we must pay and the annual interest of all our publio and private debts is now more than the annual profits of business and produc tion.

Durant, the dental student in jail for the murder of Blanch Lamontand Minnie Williams in Emmanuel Baptist church. Chief of Police Crowley claims to have evidence enough to convict him beyond any doubt, Durant had been attentive to both girls. Each girl regarded him as a lover. They were both members of the churchy and were friends. Both belonged to the same class in Sunday school. The young man was librarian of the church and assistant superin tendent of the Sunday school. He was the last person seen in Miss Lamont's company on the day of her disappear ance. Circumstances which bear against Durant is the fact that he had the key to the church, was seen conducting Miss Williams into a private door of the church Friday evening, was late in arriving at the Vogel reception, and then seemed very nervous, while his attire was disordered and he asked permission to wash himself. On leaving the party he passed through the church again and, went within. Another sig nificant fact is that Blanche Lamont, who was murdered first and carried into the church belfry, was strangled by "a man who used his left hand. Du rant is ambidextrous, using either hand with equal facility. Undergraduates of the medical col lege where Durant was also a student considered him hypocritical and deceit ful, posing before his fellows as a gal lant and before his church friends as a saint. lie often boasted to the students of having received favors from women. His companions of the medi cal college also declare that he has not attended a lecture since the day Miss Lamont disappeared. He also act ed strangely after the search for the Lamont girl began, haunting the news paper offices and giving long and in volved theories to account for her ab sence, always predicting that she would soon be found.

The men located their "queer" manufactory in the heart of the little town, and under the pretense of representing an east ern shoe house, it is said did a "land office" business. It is reported that at least ten farmers have bought the goods said to have been manufactured by the men. Molds for counterfeit halfs and quarters were also captured. TERMS OF PEACE.

TO CHECKPBICESL An Effort to Retard Upward Turn of Cattle. Regulations for Admission of Mexican Cattle Modified. PLACES SPE-CIFIED. Where Cattle May Come in for Immediate Killing. Washington, April 16. In view ol the great rise in the price of beef and the reported scarcity of cattle, the chief of the bureau of animal industry, Dr. Salmon, has recommended to the secretary of agriculture the admission of Mexican cattle into the United States under stringent regulations, calculated to insure a rigid inspection of all cattle admitted. Dr. Salmon be lieves such a course may be safely pur sued with the exercise of due vigilance and that under the circumstances it is judicious. It is hoped by this means to check the tendency to excessive prices to the consumer, without injuriously affecting the interests of the beef pro ducers. In accordance with these recom mendations, Secretary Morton yester day issued the following special order: It is hereby ordered that the regulations of this department issued February 5, 1895, defin ing the quarantine line on account of Texas or splenetic fever and the regulations of February H, 189"i, concerning the importation of animals into the United States is modified so far as they relate to the admission of Mexican cattle into the United States, as follows: Mexican cattle, which have been Inspected by an inspector of this department and found free from any infectious or contagious dis ease, may be admitted into that portion of the state of California south and west ol the said quarantine line through the port of San Diego, and into that portion of the state of Texas south and east of the said quarantine line, through the ports of Eagle Pass and Laredo, for grazing or for immediate slaughter. Cattle may be ad mitted through the port of El Paso for Imme diate slaughter only. In all cases where cattle are admitted for immediate slaughter they shall be shipped by rail or boat to the point of destination. On and after May 1, 1895, cattle will be ad mitted at the port of Brownsville, Tex., for grazing and immediate slaughter. J. Sterling Morton, Secretary. ORDERED TO ORGANIZE. Washington, April 16.

The duties of the commissioner are to con fer with theCreeks, Chickasaws Chero kees and Seminoles, with a view to pur suading them to relinquish the tribal system and accept their lands in sever ally, so they may sooner or la ter be or ganized into a state of the union. shortage in the carbon mint.

Sunday morning little Franz, the 3-year-old son of Cornelius Vogt, living 7 miles from here, was shot and killed by his 7-year-old brother, and then burned to a crisp in the flames started by the wadding of the gun. Mr. and Mrs. Vogt, with their five eldest children, had gone to church, and left behind the five youngest children, the eldest of whom was but 9 years od. Some how, in play or in anger, and unknown to anyone, the 7-year-old son, Henry, took down a shotgun that hung on the wall and shot Franz, blowing the greater part of his abdomen away. The little one rolled over on the floor and out of doors. To add to the horror, the burning wadding of the gun lodged in the child's clothing, end being fanned into a blaze by the strong breeze, soon burned the body to a crisp. The other children fled upon the shooting, but the 9-year-old boy returned in time to dash a bucket of water on the burning mass and ex tinguish the flames. A cyclone of applause greets the good work done by Dr. Price's Baking Pow der. Inferior powders are nowhere. TO PULL TONY FAUST. The St. Louis Celebrity Ha Bun Violating she Law. St. Louis. April 16.

Secretary Morton Addressed Board of Trade Delegates on the Subject. Washington, April 16. At the mcet- icg of the National Board of Trade delegates yesterday Secretary of Agri culture Morton, being askei to address the gathering, said he presumed the delegates were aware they were entering upon an inquiry of great gravity and difficulty. It was a matter between two great classes, the pro ducer and consumers, as to what was needed, he said, in order to get accu rate statistics. He said an annual crop census was needed, after which approximate facts of crop acreage could be obtained. Some persons thought this was too costly. He had dis cussed the matter with the presi dent and had believed it was the onlv way. It had been estimated it would cost $500,000 a year, but the secretary believed, even if jt should cost three times as much as this, it would be money well expended. He assured the members present that the agricultural department was anxious to co-operate with them in improving the crop re ports. Kan Over by a Freight Train. Garden City, Kan., April 16. George W.

Sweden has now joined the other countries of Europe in increasing the duty on breadstnffs, as is shown by a report to the state department from United States Consul Boysen at Goth enberg. A letter has been received from Jus tice Jackson saying he would not be able to come to Washington this term. This makes it beyond question that a rehearing of the income tax case, if ordered, cannot occur before next Oc tober. Severe earthquake shocks have been experienced at Trieste and at Krain berg, Austria recently. Many houses have been damaged. Te inhabitants -were panic stricken and were camping out in the streets. TWO OPAL KINGS. Charlie Clifton of the Pangal cavalry bad bought two opal rings of a wandering peddler. 'Wha did he care about the en perstition regarding the stones? His fei low officer, Allonby, was only laughed at for warnirg him against the purchase. Clifton rode off with the rings, while hii friend strolled over to where the peddlei was tying up his pack. "See here," he said, "here's a rupee foi you. Now teU me about those rings. The sahib has bought them, and you can tell me the truth now," "Master promise not to teU the other sahib and I will tell him, replied the old man. Allonby gave the re quired promise. "Those jewels very unlucky jewels," be gan the ancient vender. They making very bad luck to different peoples. First sahib who bought them was maharajah oi Karospoor. The sahib knows what hap pened to him. Then Fortescue, sahib at Rotibad,' bought them. That poor gentle man killed out riding very next day. Aft er, Rotibad merchant buying those jewels, and his house burned down next week. Then all the people saying, 'These very bad jewels, and all very much afraid to buy them. That merchant wanting to sell them to me, but Ltoo, am much afraid to buy. Then another man told me those jewels only bad for threpeople. You buy and then sell them, and next purchasei will have gy id luck." Clifton reAaed in in front of a pretty lit tle bungalow half way up the Kharpui hilL where most of the residents of the sta tion had their bungalows, and where what breeze there was in the place could be en joyed by the jaded plain dwellers. At the sound of his horse's hoofs a young girl who had been reclining at etse on a deck chair in the veranda hastily rose. Nettie Vernon was a pretty sight that afternoonH with her golden hair and the English rosee still in her cheeks. So thought Clifton, and he thought, too, what a lucky fellow he was to have won her. "Why, sir offi cer," said the young lady, with the light of laughter in her eyes and its dimples in her cheeks, "what brings you here so early this afternoon? Have you been promoted? Are you ordered to the frontier to fight the Russians, or what? Do tell me, and don't oh, don't look so serious." The young officer looked down at the bewitching up turned face, and then "Did you come all this way to do that?" asked Miss Vernon with mock reproach. "Oh, how foolish and hotheaded the young men of the present day are! Now, when I was young oh!" The sentence was not; finished. "Look here, Nettie," said her lover, "what do you think of this ring? That's what brought me here. Isn't it a beautiful opal? And the most beautiful girl in Pangal shall wear it if she likes. "Oh, Charlie, what a dear you are!" cried the young lady in delight. "But aren't opals dreadfully unlucky?" "There you go," said the discomfited lover. "You are as bad as Allonby, who has been croaking on the subject like Ed gar Allan Poe's 'Raven.' "I didn't say they were unlucky," pleaded Miss Vernon. "I only asked if they weren't. I am sure, Charlie, dear, nothing will be unlucky that you give me," she added sweetly. In another moment the ring was on, and the two lovers, comparing their jewels, thought them quite the nicest in Kharpur. A few days later Charlie Clifton was driving to the Kharpur station. It was the day of the Sawarbad races, Sawarbad was some 40 miles from Kharpur,' and a large party was going over. The railway station was a couple of miles from Clif ton's bungalow. He had driven about hall way when he discovered that his famous opal ring was not on his finger. Confound it! he exclaimed. I must have taken it off when I washed my hands. I must have it. I promised Nettie never to take it off. Besides it might be stolen. I shall have to go back. He turned his horse's head and drove rapidly home. He found the l ing, :.ud he found also when he got to the railway station that the train had gone without him. Poor fellow How sick he felt as lie walked out of the station Nettie must have gone without him, and he had been looking forward so much to the outing. A dreadful feeling of desolation took pos session of him. It seemed to him that he was separated forever from his beloved. He cursed the opal ring which had been the cause of hw misfortune. Was it really going to bring him ill luck after all, he wondered? A sound of wheels approach ing made him look up. Was it possible? He knew the cart. He knew the driver. Miss Vernon drove up looking the prettiest of pictures in a new straw hat and a most becoming frock. After alL there is not always such a great gulf fixed between paradise and the other place. "We must be quick, Charlie," cried the young lady as she threw down the reins. "I have run it very fine, I know." "Don't hurry, darling," was her lover's reply, given in a calm and leisurely manner he could afford to be calm and leisurely now "the train has gone without us." "Oh, what a pity!" cried Nettie, clasping her hands, "but never mind, dear, we have gos each other," and she looked at the young man in a way that more than consoled him for all his disappointment, "And now, said the young lady, "I daresay you'd like to know how it is I am eo late. Do you know, sir, it is really all your fault? Yes, it was.', It's no good denying it. It was that opal ting of yours that fell off you know it was rather large for me. Well, I spent no end of time looking for it. I thought I should never find it, but I did, and here it is. But what on earth makes you stare so? Don't do it, dear; you look so ugly, and you are really not such a bad looking boy in your normal state." Poor Clifton explained the cause of his own de lay, which he had. been trying to do for some time, but his fair lady had not given him a chance. "Now, dearest, he con cluded, "doesn t it strike you as very curi ous that we should both of us have been delayed on account of our opal rings? I wonder what it moans?" "Yes, I wonder, too," said Nettie, nodding her golden head reflectively. But they both of them knew an hour or two later, when the terrible news of the breaking down of the Patharpar bridge under the train they would have gone by reached the station. And in the days of grief and desolation that followed for Kharpur they found time to wonder why they, too, should have been saved. Char lie and Nettie are older now, but they still wear their opal rings those rings which, instead of bringing them ill luck, saved them from on awful and sudden death. At least so they regard the matter. And so do I also, for I, too, am superstitious and not ashamed to own it. Exchange. How They Live. No less than 850,000 watches were pawn ed in Paris last year.

Hoffman Irrigating Plant at Enterprise All Planted. Wichita, April 16. Some of the women of this town have undertaken the task of saving the Y. M. C. A. building 4roni it3 burden of indebtedness. The city has been districted into about 137 districts for Jhe purpose of a house to house canvass. About 200 ladie3 have been assigned to canvass these districts, and. if possible, to secure an average of 1.00 frum each mao, woman and child in a block. There is a $20,000 mortgage against the Y. M. C. A. building, which is held by the Prabyterian Board of Relief of Philadelphia, a charitable corporation, the interest on whose funds is used for the support of disabled miuisters of the Presbyterian church. This mortgage fails due next month at which time there will b9 three coupons, amounting to 1,8'JO, unpaid. The mort gage draws 6 per cent interest. The board has submitted a proposition to the association as follows: If the Y. M. C. A. will pay back inter est and reduce the principal 2,500, it will extend the mortgage live years and reduce the rate of interest per cent. The ladie3 who have so enthusiasti cally taken the matter in hand propose to raise from $5,000 to $6,000 and their very earnestness is a guarantee of euc- EtV WAY WITH CHINCH BUGS. A Better Method of Jfropogatlnjj the In fection is I! ring; led. Lawrence, April 10. The chinch bug laboratory at the state universary will change its tactic3 this spring on account of the successful experiments in propa gating the sporotricum in winter cul ture and scattering the spores by spray ing. Instead of wintering a small quan tity of the infection and wait ing until the bugs have come out and done their work in order to col lect material to start the cultures in the laboratory, the plan now in operation is to propagate a quantity of the infec tion in vegetable cultures during the ear ly spring and thus be ready to scatter it as soon as the bugs appear to carry out their plan. 2sew sterilizing apparatus has been set up in the university laboratory and pre parations are being made for experiment ing on fifty farms under the direct su pervision of the department.

Cat Qiro Animal Trainers a Great Deal of Trouble. An English exhibitor of trained ani mals, Mr. Leoni Clarke, is reported as 6aying that, though he has educated all sorts of animals, from lions down ward, he has found that the most diffi cult of them all is the cat. He has to treat these creatures with extraordinary care. A dog is sensible, a monkey ac commodating, and a rat either forgives or forgets but a cat! She is a hopeless bundle of sensibilities. Strike her once, if only by accident, and she will never perform again. Kindness is not only politic, it is absolutely necessary, in the training of cats. Although thirty cats are sufficient for his entertainment, he has sixty or more with him, for cats are very skittish creatures, and when they take the whim into their heads it is useless to take them on the stage. When Mr. Clarke enters the stable the mewing is prodigious and he is instantly buried in a moving mantle of cats. It took him four years to train some of Ifis animals before he could pat them upon the stage. A parachute cat, which climbs up a rope to the roof of the theater, and flies down by parachute, is the second which has done the trick. The first became too fat, and fell into bad ways. It is now Jim Corbett, and boxes Mitchell nightly. A curious feature of the show is the way in which the cats walk over a rope of rats and mice and canaries, stepping gingerly between the little fluttering bodies. This mighty forbearance is brought about by training up the cats from kittens in the same cage as the rats and birds. There are only six of the eats that Mr. Clarke dares trust among the rats. The rats and mice come from Juva, I'nion Pacific I?oate.

"BIG BILL UE111ND THE BAT." Story of How a I t. Scott Boy Rose to Prominence in the But Ball World. Will Hassatner is a Kansas boy who is coming to the front in the base ball world. He began his career in the va cant lots of Ft. Scott, and now he is a regular man on the "Senators," as the Washington National league team i3 called. A recent issue of the "Sporting News" contains an article under the caption "Big Bill Behind the Bat," describing the manner in which Hassatner came into prominence as a crack ball player: "It seems he stumbled against the Washington club when they were play ing in Charleston. Their catchers were all 'knocked out' and he proposed to catch the game for them. His proposi tion was accepted, as they had to have another man or postpone the game, but the matter was regarded as quite a joke by the members of the two clubs. The speediest pitcher the Senators had was in the box, but 'Big Bill' surprised them all, playing the game without a single error or a passed ball. Hassamer is a hard and sure batter, and plays right field as successfully as behind the bat." Kansas Sporting Notes. Guy McFadden wiil leave Topeka this week to accept the first-baseship of the Joliet, 111., team. H. T. Mote ha3 offered a box of cigars to the winner of the JouRNAL-Capital game next Friday.

They first shot at thirty singles each and Frankfort came out two ahead. They next shot at ten pairs each, wheu Leavenworth came out two ahead and made a tie with each marksman averaging 170 birds out of a possible 250.

Wheat For the past two months we have been advising the trade to buy wheat, saying that we firmly believed higher prices were bound to come, sooner or later, and that the market had been badly oversold and no one except scalping shorts had enough nerve to sell at such low prices. The market has vindicated our judg ment and people that acted promptly on our advice and bought May wheat around 52c had a chance to dispose of it today around 57 with a handsome profit, lhe market opened firm at a filight decline over night and com menced to gather strength immediate ly o good buying and covering by shorts and advanced a full cent over last night's closing in the first half hour. Cables were all firm and higher, export demand good, small receipts, only 22 cars at Chicago today and only 13 estimated for tomorrow and a good de crease in the world's visible was more than an offset to bearish influences caused by general rains, and all offerings were quickly absorbed and good bidding for more by scared shorts and elevator men. It is rumored that the elevator men have cash wheat cornered and from the appearance of the cash prices it would seem that they would have something to do with it We think wheat at these prices is a good investment and look for much higher prices. Corn opened steady at unchanged prices, and shared fluctuations with wheat sympathizing with its strength and weak ness all day. Trade was small and the market rather quie. Oats were 'quiet, with a firm under tone. Provisions dull and featureless. We think pork will do to buy at these prices, and look for a good upturn, and think one is now due. Open. High Low. Cloia.

Nellie Bly, the noted newspaper correspondent who has been praised, petted, and made much of ever since her globe-trotting performance, turns out to bs a mere fortune hunter after all. She has married a millionaire who is past 70 years of age, after knowing him but' two weeks. Thk emperor of China has probably heard of Governor Morrill's way out of difficulties. He has issued a proclama tion saying that he can no longer gov ern. It is fair to presume that public sentiment is against him, though he does not make that as plain as does the gov ernor of Kansas. Governor Morr ill has not yet abdicated, however. This Topeka Journal talks complais antly about "changing human nature" and bringing on the millennium. Borne people may think that's a big job, but it's a mere trifle for a Topeka newspaper hardly worth mentioning. Emporia lie publican. "Topeka newspapers" are greatly in fluenced in their opinion on this matter by the fact that Topeka people are pretty near good enough to begin the millennium right now, however the peo ple of Emporia may be. It there is a necessity that the senti ment In favor of ''sound money" shall be crystalized and combined, there is an equal necessity for the friends of silver to unite. No minor differences of opin ion should be allowed to stand in the way. The advooates of the gold stand ard will strive to control the conventions of both the Republican and Democratic parties next year. If they fail in one they will give their united support to the candidate of the other. If they fail in both they may put up Mr. Cleveland. The interest of their class will be placed above politics. The people cannot do otherwise than accept the weapons which the president and his followers may offer. The conscientious Republicans of Kansas who believe in law and order are beginning to think that they have been the victims of a confidence fame. They assisted in nominating and electing Governor Morrill in the belief that he would be true to every principle of the party. It is with-feelings of humiliation and regret that they are now compelled to listen to the governor's assertion that a law which Republicans have fought for and upheld for fifteen years cannot be enforced, A suspicion has arisen among this class of Republicans tha they were sold out to seoure tha votes of a minority element in the party. It may be true, but then the state had to be "redeemed."

His indi rect assertion that history teaches that stimulated prices as the result of an ex panding currency are illusive and un substantial, is a palpable perversion of the truth. No evil results such as he mentions have ever occurred as the re sult of an expanding currency until con traction set, in. It is contraction that paralyzes and he acknowledges this when he says: "The discredit and de preciation in financial centers of any form of money in the hands of the people is a signal of immediate loss everywhere." The people understand this declaration of the president's only too well. They have experienced it. They have seen the silver form of money depreciated and discredited by legisla tion at the instigation of the president and do not now need to be told by him of the calamity which followed and which always follows such a course.

The irrigation idea has taken hold in Harvey county and Quint Grant of New ton has put in a plant. D. S. Epler who lives near Scott City has put in a six inch irrigating pump. The capacity is about ten acres. G. N. Nichols of Minneapolis raised a fine lot of celery last year by irrigation. There are few more profitable crops. Charles Rees of Minneapolis has made arrangements to irrigate fifty acres of land this year. He will devote a large portion of it to onions, potatoes, cabbage and celery. A big irrigation plant has been put in near Enterprise. The water is raised from the Smoky Hill river, and the banks being higher than the adjacent land the distribution is rendered easy. Ed Randall, the founder of the town which bears his name will, irrigate his farm from a big natural pond which he owns. He has purchased a seven horse power engine for the purpose. G.

Things and Old AVay Beat Louisiana Hospitality. Calcasieu Parish, La., April 14. Longfellow did not do his whole duty by the Acadians in "Evangeline." He devoted the choicest of his descriptions and his most felicitous phrases to the land from which they were driven, and either through unfamiliarity with its natural features or to heighten the con trast forgot to give more than a passing word to their new found home in the pine strewn Creole State. Indeed there is not so much difference, except in climate, between their present location and that from which they were exiled, described as abounding in Murmuring pines and the hemlocks. Bearded with moss and with garments green indistinct in the twilight. The Place of Happiness. The Acadians who, in the final act of the various changes which Nova Scotia's proprietorship underwent, were exiled by the British in 1755 from their be loved settlement were in no respect of a peculiar race. They were simply French people who had emigrated to the new world to seek more favorable conditions. They found a fertile and attractive eeo--tion in which to reside and were con tented and happy. They called their home Acadia, or L'Cadie, the place of happiness, and when the tragio event occurred which drove them out the name Acadians clung to them, nor have they yet lost it. Here among the Louisiana rice and sugar lands, where live the descendants of the original exiles who sought free dom and peace under a southern sun, 'Acadians" is a common designation. "Cadyans" it is pronounced by the average citizen, and they have come to be thought of as a race apart, a people whose native country is not France, but Acadia. The term is frequently nsed in deed by those who know nothing of their history. In many respects the exile was of material benefit to this people. The climate of Louisiana is far nearer that of France than the coasts of Nova Sco tia. The French settlers entered eagerly upon the cultivation of the fertile acres, and large plantations with the great white porticoed mansions and a score or two of negro cabins are mingled with tha old Acadian homesteads that dot the entire southern Louisiana landscape. Sacred Dwellings. These homesteads are pictures of old time art in architecture and present, with their long, steep sloped roof, their ACADIAN STOCKMAN. outside chimneys and ovens and t! ::r queer perches, a most curious appear ance to tho stranger. Some of these houses, like the Andrus house, one of the oldest in the parish, were br.ilt nearly at the beginning of the century. The Andrns residence was erected in 1815 and is so well preserved that it is by no means a bad dwelling yet. It has Deen the family's headquarters all thtse fourscore years, being handed down from father to son until it has become almost sacred, and an offer to purchase a member of the family woold be con sidered scarcely less insulting than one to buy the roof which has sheltered sev eral generations of ancestors. With this experience duplicated on every hand numbers of these families have gainer! the designation of "aristocracy," and they seem to have earned it. A visit to one of these old homestead? recalls a new phase of life. It is as ii -me were suddenly transported to r. foreign land and were set amid a nev jeople. Many of the adult members o A.cadian families can speak bo English, uid in the homes French is spoken al most entirely. They are conservative ii ;ustom and manner and cling tenacious iy to the habits and ways of their fore fathers. Said a business man in one of the leading towns of the parish: "I went out last summer to the farm of a Ca dyan family, and although I was pre pared for considerable primitiveness I did not apprehend that I would see what I did. The family was quite poor, and perhaps that accounted to some ex tent for the "course taken. In the yard was the stump of a pine tree. It had been hollowed out, and there, bending over it and working a huge pestle, was the husband, grinding rice into flour or as near to flour 83 he could approach. Tho grain had been cut by hand and winnowed in the wind. This was an ex ceptional and unusual case, bnt it shows that it is not necessary to go abroad to find odd customs and ways." X.otus Eaters. On the other hand, progressiveness is seen in many of the old French fami lies. The younger generations are feel ing the influence of the northern immi gration which is pouring so rapidly in to the south. They are buying improved machinery and keeping in touch with the modern business life. However, they do Dot hurry. Life is long with them, and the tiaixay southern airs, tempered by gtilf breezes, inoline them to preserve some. of the manly leisure that was characteristio of the "basin of Grand Pre." Talk to these people and they are charming conversationists. They are not very familiar with the topics that are so eagerly discussed in northern cities. They know little and, I imagine, cara less about the gold reserve or the per capita of circulation, while the tar iff is an unsolved puzzle. But speak of French history, of the Acadian exile,' and see their faces glow. Amusements, dancing, riding and the affairs of th6 heart are their texts, and how eloquent is the sermon Just a little bewildering are the inrush of northern capital and the hum of sawmills, rice mills, sugar refineries and street cars. They would far rather drive the cattle afield, gath er fruit of vine and tree, smoke odd shaped pipes and be happy. The schools are nothing to be proud of in most of the parish settlements, and the wealthy families send their children to New Orleans or farther north to be educated. A large number indeed go so far as to send their children to New England colleges, completely forgetting the old time differences. Their natural ly delicate complexions are made still fairer by the exquisite care taken of them by the Acadians, young and old. The graceful, wide brimmed hats and the luxuriant dark hair are noted on ev ery hand, and a childlike expression of trustfulness is seen in many faces. Tho air of romance is everywhere in evidence in Acadia land. The fragrance of the pages of "Evangeline" is spread over the people, and the studious among them are as thoroughly familiar with the events of the fateful departure from their northern home as with their pray er book or catechism. Honest Comfort. The hospitality which characierizod both "Basil, the blacksmith," and the farmer father of Longfellow's heroine exists in all its pristine strength. The stranger is made one of the family, and although he may miss the newer inven tions that go to make life in the cities a thing of ease and may find a primitive ness that he scarce could have believed existed in one of the nation's oldest set tled communities he will nevertheless be charmed with the simplicity, the homely comfort, the complacent ease and lack of won? and hurry that are a part of the life of these modern Acadi ans. Numerous though it is, the old race is fast passing away, and the progress ive ideas of new immigration are driv ing out old ways. It will not be long before the Acadian race will be as much a part of the world's past history as is the poet's story of the Nova Scotia exile. C. M. Hargeb. AN AMAZING INDUSTRY. Kra. Clianncey M. Depew Gives Soma In teresting Railway Statistics. Special Correspondence. Etjtfalo, April 8. In the course of a recent address before the Railroad branch of the Y. M. C. -A., not yet given out for general publication, Mr. Chauncey M. Depew presented some in teresting statistics, showing very clear ly the dominant position of American railroads. There are 400, 000 miles of railroad in the world, of which about half aro within the boundaries of the United States. This enormous mileage has been created practically within the last half century, and it has virtually revolution ized the business of the world and mankind's mode of life. "In 1850," said Mr. Depew, "it cost about 20 cents per ton per mile to get the products of the farm, the mine or the factory to market, and for a 100 mile haul just about the whole value of the product, but by the introduction of railroads the cost of carriage has been reduced to 2 cents per ton per mile on the average in Europe and eight-tenths of a cent per ton per mile in the United States. "The usual result of a reduction of price is that somebody suffers, but the reductions in the cost of living caused by the railroads, which have made it possible for large populations to exist where none existed before, have not cost the world anything, but have been a clear contribution to mankind by the construction of the railways. It has been demonstrated that the railways by the reduction of the cost of transporta tion since 1850 return to the people of the United States one-half of the total amount of their stock and bonds as a dividend every year. "There are employed on the railroads of the world about 3,000,000 of people, 1,000,000 of them in the United States, oroneman to every 70 of the population. But there is another feature of these statistics a marvel in mathematics, a romance as well as a reality. The car rying power of the world is the measure of the prosperity of the world. The car rying power of the world by rail, canal, steamship and sailing vessel marks whether the people can live comfortably or whether they must emigrate or starve by reason of lack of employment. Yon suspend for three months the operation of the railways of the United States, and within that time two-thirds of the people of the United States would die of starvation. Ten days more of railroad paralysis last summer during the Debs strike would have made hundreds .of thousands of people suffer for food, al though they had the money to purchase the supplies they needed. There were abopt 150,000,000 of tons carried upon the oceans last year. About 10,000,000 of tons were carried upon the canals of the United States. About 14.000,000, 000 tons were carried by the world's railroads, of which 8,000,000,000 were carried on the railroads of the United States. In other words, the railroads of the United States carried more than all the steamers, the sailing vessels and the railroads of all the rest of the world. There never was in the romance of fig ures such another magnificent tribute, such a superb monument, to the pros perity of ear own people. CJUSWE3 Af S8& MASONIC. Bights of tho yonafHUate to Masonic Bar. lal Temple Chips. Is a nonaffiliated Mason entitled to Ma sonic burial? This question leads to an other, which we will ask that it may throw light on our answer to the foregoing via, Is Masonic burial the right of any Mason? If it is a right at all, does it accrue to a brother because he is a Mason or because the particular lodge of which he is a mem ber owes it to him simply on the score of having contributed to its funds? We un hesitatingly answer in the affirmative. It belongs to him by virtue of his being a Mason and not as being a policy holder in a mutual benefit society. Tyler. The, Masonic temple of New Haven was damaged by fire recently. The blaze, due to spontaneous combustion, broke out while seven candidates were being initiat ed into the rite of the Princes of Jerusa lem. One of the candidates saw the flames, but thought it was part of the initiation and said nothing until too late to save the property. The report of the treasurer of the Ma sonic home of Pennsylvania shows that the cash balance, interest bearing invest ments and real estate and personal proper ty at a low valuation will foot up to at least $125,000, clear of all incumbrance. 1 "The degree of royal master is conferred upon Royal Arch Masons only and is pre paratory to the select master's degree. The ceremonies are impressive as well as re plete with useful and valuable informa tion. It is intimately connected with and explains many mysteries of the Royal Arch." If you are envious of the success of your brother and endeavor to drag him down, where is your Masonry? The cement which cements the Masonic fraternity throughout the globe into one common bond of brotherhood should never be allowed to crack or disintegrate, either in the lodgeroom or out of it. A belief in the God of the Bible, and not some notion of some indefinite great cause, is the foundation of Masonry. A lodge of instruction should be held in some safe place and be "duly tiled." No business whatever can be transacted in a lodge of instruction. A lodge of instruc tion is simply a school. Freemasonry is making rapid strides in Johannesburg, South African Republic, the inauguration of three new lodges within six months being a record for which Ma sonic annals have few parallels. By a little effort on the part of the breth ren the number of nonamliates could be greatly reduced. The great commandery of Pennsylvania will hold its fortysecond annual conclave on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 28th and 29th of May, at Reading. UNITED WORKMEN. Few Join the Order Intending Suicide. Lodge Gleanings. OccaricusUy the suicide question is r.-:ain revived, and some say that we should not pay on the death of those who die from suicide. Of course we pay upon very few where the member has joined tho order with the intention of committing suicide, and suicide is often the result of disease as much as death from any fever. Over seer. At the present rate of increase the order will soon have 350,000 members. New Jersey gained 500 the past year and now has a membership of 5,01)0. Compton Heights lodge, St. Louis, pre sented a diamond stud to P. M. Casey, lie having brought over 50 new members in during the past six months. W. S. Woodson is grand master of the grand jurisdiction of Maryland and J. E. Brooker grand recorder. Statistics show that out of every 100 deaths among men 90 of them have left nothing for their dependent families. There are 440 lodges and over 30, 000 United Workmen in New York. KNIGHTS OF HONOR. Supreme Lodge Won't Accept Personal Checks Various Notes. The supreme recorder calls the attention of the officers of til lodges to the fact that postage stamps and personal checks should not be sent as remittances for any sums due to the supreme lodge. Personal checks cannot be accepted and credit given. They i could only be received for collection, and the cost of collection must be deducted. They cannot therefore be taken. .Postage stamps cannot be accepted for the reason that the supreme officers are required to have vouchers for all expenditures. Stamps therefore cannot be used, but must be sold, and purchasers cannot be found foi them. The Essex County Fraternal Building association of Newark, N. J., of which Past Grand Dictator C. J. Feytel is presi dent, proposes to build a Knights of Hon or hall at Woodside. Grand Recorder Hess has worked hard for the order in Kentucky during the past year. Ancient Essenic Order. The Knights of the Ancient Essenic Or der is a new secret order numbering about 25,000 members in the United States. Dr. C. J. Weatherby is supreme ruler. The Essenic order is one of the oldest mystic or secret orders in the world. The Essenes were originally one of the three principal Jewish sects. They were classed with the Sadducees and Pharisees and were remarkable for their strictness and absti nence. The objects of the order are to unite fraternally all acceptable members to give all possible moral and material aid and assistance to its members and those de pending upon them for support; to encour age each other in social and business mat ters and to assist each other in obtaining employment; to care for the sick and dis abled, furnishing relief to the poor and distressed.

The supreme encampment of the Frater nal legion, in session at Pittsburg, elected the following officers: Supreme command er, George M. Ballard of Newark, N.

STATE JOURNAL. TCJES DAT, EVENING, APRIL 16, 1895, V IV A WOMAN WITH GRIT. How Mr3. Neisler Fought tlia Haiders Last Night. SPIRITED SCENE AT HER HOUSE. p.iK.fmd Shcrill'f Force Jfaise a nmbr of Raids IncluiUnS XwoN Drug Store Without Permit. Smoky Row was several degrees smokier than usual last evening. The police and the sheriff a office combined for the purpose of cleaning out the few joints that remained in its precincts. The sight of the officers and the "hurry up wagon" as it ia known there always brings out an interested assemblage of people from the row, especially those of the complexion after which Smoky Row derives its name. The officers raided several places late yesterday and found what they went after (to wit, bot tled troods) at each place. In" the party were Chief of Police "VVilkersoo," Police Captain Gardiner, Sergeant Donovan, Sheriff Burdge and Undersheriff Tom Wilkerson. The first place visited was that of Bob 'eisier on the south aide of Crane street between Jefferson and Madison. Neis ler wasn't at home, but hia spunky little wife was. "What are you people doing in my house, I'd like to know," she demanded. "Have you got any beer?" asked Cap tain Gardiner, ignoring her question. "No, I ain't," she replied sharply. MI ain't got none, only what we use our Belves. Hurry up now, and git out of my house," and the littie woman picked up the usual feminine weapon, a broom. The sight of the broom did not terror ize Sheriff Burdge. "Evidently, madam," he said politely, with a bow, "you do not know who we are. We are officers and we have a war- j rant for your husband and a search war rant directing us to searcthe premises for any liquor or appurtenances for the Eale of liquor." "Got all them, have you? S'poaen you let me look at 'em." "Certainly, madam; I will read it aloud if you wish," and he did. The woman listened attentively and when it was com pleted she said: "Well, what of it? What are you go ing to do?" 'We are going to search your house from garret to cellar and then go out to the barn." "Hunting for beer?" 'Yes." What are you going to do with it when you get it?" "We will confiscate it." "You'll which?" 'Confiscate it. Take it with us, you know." "Oh, I sea Going to drink it yer eelves. Oh, why didn't I know you was coming. I wouldn't have left a drop in the house. I guess you'd better wait till my husband gets back." 'It is impossible, madam, we cannot wait ao long," insisted Sheriff Burdge. 'John," he said to Captain Gardiner, "you go up stairs and see what you can fiad. Tim, you watch the women, and we'll go down cellar." The sheriff went down a rickety stair way in the dim light of a match into the cellar and hunted for beer. Cobwebs were there, and dust enough to build a race track. Hanging shelves knocked stoves in the searchers' hats, unseen ropes and wires struck them under the chin. Searching fingers were run along shelves that abounded in crocks and jara containing greasy and sticky stuff, and pickles and preserves. When Sheriff Burdge stumbled over something there was a rattling, crashing sound, the source of which could not be mistaken. They were beer bottles. Eighteen of them. Aa empty box was found and the fheriff was preparing to carry them up stairs, when a skirt and a voice were seen and heard simultaneously at the top of the stairs. "Where are they, where are thev?" she cried. "Here we are," was the reply. "Have you found the beer?" she de manded, as she ran down stairs. 'Yes, here it is." "Well, I've changed my mind. I ain't going to let you take it. I'll smash it all tirst. It's my beer, and I can bust those bottles if I want to, and you can't stop tne." Mrs. Neisler had a flat-iron in her hand and was fully determined to i breafc all the bottles, and spill $4.50 worth of beer (retail price) on the cellar floor, until Sheriff Burdge seized her. She resisted, and Sheriff Burdge held on. The little woman finally gave in. "Well, if I can't bust 'em," she said, "I'm going to count 'em anyway." She counted them and found eighteen. "I just wanted to know how many there was, so I'd know if I got 'em all back, if I ever da Say, Sir. Budge, you're Mr. Badge, ain't you? Say, you'll let me have one bottle, won't you? I'm awfully thirsty. I ain't had nothing to drink Bince dinner." This appeal struck a responsive chord in Mr. Burdge's heart. He granted the request. One bottle from eighteen bot tles leaves seventeen bottles. Nothing was found in the second story. Captain Gardiner in the kitchen detected irs. Neisler in the act of emptying a quart bottle of whisky into the 6ink, and Btopped her just in time to leave a email drink in the bottom of the bottle. It was also confiscated and will be introduced in evidence when the case Made Mistakes, Di'd They...

Well, take your next job of printing to ADAMS BROS., and It Will be Done Right... S. The price for doing it will be right, too. Our Telephone is 404, Bell Harrison. cornea for triaL A beer pump was found in the barn. While all this was going on several neighbors called in to console Mrs. Neis ler. She was finally petted into a better humor, and when she sat down on the back porch and drank her last and only bottle of beer she seemed quite happy. She drank a part of the beer, gave the colored domestic a glass, and allowed two cf the oldest babies to drink what was left. She continued to bewail the in justice done her, and Captain Gardiner nearly lost hia balance and everybody smiled when she said, "I wiah a Joob kal reporter would come along. 1 wiah one was here now. He'd fix you." Later in the evening Bob Neisler was found by the police and succeeded in giving 300 bonds to the city. He was immediately re-arrested and placed un der $500 bond for hia appearance in the district court. A BIS Haul. By far the biggest haul secured dur ing the series of raids was made at Dr. Tulles' drug store at 131 Kansas avenue. Dr. Tulles does not have a permit to sell liquor. He either considered a permit unnecessary or expected to get one at some future date, for ha had liquor enough to keep all Smoky Kow drunk for ten days. Dr. Tulles was out of the city. It is not known when he will be back. Proba bly not right away. The officers searched the premises and found among the other drugs the following: 67 bottles of old Kentucky bourbon. 10 gallons of bulk whisky. 4-gallon jug of gin. 2-gallonjug of whisky. 21 bottles of whisky. J-barrel of bottled beer. 2 bottles of catawba wine. 1 case of "bitters." A Madison Street Bald. The officers next went to the house of John Langen at 127 North Madison street. Langen was found at home, with his wife and three pretty but dirty little children. The youngsters seemed to appreciate that the blue-coats meant trouble and they cried lustily all the time they were there. Langen claims he sold no beer, and kept it for family use. If he sold beer at all it was on a small scale. In the cellar twenty-six bottles of beer were found, and there were enough empty ones lying around to make up the re mainder of a case. Langen's neighbors say he is a hard working man and a good neighbor, but the officers are not much disposed to pity. They say a man is surely daft who will try to eefl liquor in Topeka under this police administra tion. Another Drag Stora Raided. The drug store on the northeast eornsr of Fifth aud Madison streets, operated by "Dr." Karr, was the last place visited. Dr. Karr was met on the street while he was walking with hia wife when he was placed under arrest. He accompanied the officers back to the drug store. Not much liquor was found. A five-gallon keg of whisky was confis cated. The only other evidence of viola tion of the law was in a big barrel back of the prescription case where several dozen bottles of hop tea were found. At least it is labeled hop tea, but the chances are it c&a hop as long and as loud as any beer ever invented. It will be analyzed before the trial. Dr. Karr's bond to the city was fixed at $300 which he gave with C. F. Payne of the firm of Willis Payne, as securi ty. He was immediately arrested on a state warrant and placed under f 500 bond, which he gave with the same surety. Rudyard Kipling says he lives upon the borders of the Great American Pie belt. If the barrack room minstrel's cook would use Price's Baking Powder a radical change in his opinion of all things American mighf be expected. HOW TOPEKA FLOUR GOES. 3Xode la Which It Is Shipped to Europe From Here. "Do you see that man?" asked a well known Topeka banker of a Journal re porter yesterday, as a well dressed gentleman left the bank. "He is one of our big millers, and ha3 just made ar rangements for the shipment of four car loads of Topeka flour to Scotland. Strange to say, he already has his money for the flour, though the cars have not yet left Topeka on their long trip. "This ia the way these foreign ship ments are made: The miller gets two Bixty day drafts in duplicate which are to be sent by different ships to insure against loss. Then an insurance policy on the freight is taken out against any loi until it reaches its destination. There n also a bill of lading. When we have all that we pay the miller for his flour, and we send these documents, insurance, bill of lading and all to New Yorkt where it ia sold for what it will bring on 'change. e allow the shipper whatever foreign exchange is quoted at when the ship ment ia made, and also make a small dis count, so we make the discount and the difference between the quotation of sixty day foreign exchange on the New York stock market between the time we take it and the time it is sold." ODDLY OBSERVED. A Topek Man Observes His Second Wedding Anniversary With Divorce Suit. Charles S. Moon celebrated hia second wedding anniversary yesterday by filing a Buit for divorce.

Thousands of Dollars Pat Into Cir culation Oao Stan .Caught With 1.300. J. N. Muma a jeweler In Marquette, a village in the northwestern part of Mc Pherson county, was brought to Topeka last night by W J. Burns, an officer of the secret service department of the government, and placed in the county jaiL The government officers claim that Muma has been doing a big business in the -manufacture of counterfeit money for years, and there is hardly a section of the west where there has not been some of the spurious coin floated. He mid a $5, $10 and 20 gold pieces and 6ilver dollars, which cannot bo told from the genuine except on close examination. The gold coins are light weight, however. Thousands of dollars of the spurious coins were put into circulation in Okla homa and the government officers have been puzzling their head3 fori several yeara to find where it originated. Last fall during a large gathering here a large number of bad dollars were found in circulation, and it ia supposed they were some of the coins made by Muma in his little jewelry store at Marquette. Muma did not circulate the counterfeit money himself, but a farmer at Tascott, a little town in Ottawa county, fifty miles north, was entrusted with that part of the work. Wnen. this man, whose name is George McNabney, had dis posed of all the money which he consid ered consistent with safety, he took a large quantity of it and started east. He was arrested about two mouths ago in Kansas City with over $1,300 of the coun terfeit money in his possession, and he did not continue his eastern trip. The dies were found buried in a stable on McNabney's farm. EIGHT FROM TOPEKA Who Will Go to the Northeastern Kan sas Teachers' Association.

How It Gets a Good Advertisement Tl.roui-h a Mistaken Report. Rev. F. E. Mallory, pastor of the Third Christian church, saya that he made no reference to the "Queen of Fame" enter tainment given by the First Christian church in his sermon last Sunday. H. V. Scholes, a member of his church, who reported the matter to the Journal, heard Mr. Mallory's denunciation of a certain class of church entertainments which was followed by a reference to the "fame of the queen of England." He mistook this for a direct reference to the First Christian church entertainment and ao reported it Mr. Mallory. is, a9 might be expected, considerably annoyed about it But when the facta are under stood, there need not be any feeling about the matter.

Mrs. Harry Conde Ashby is expected to return this week from a visit to her Bister, Mrs. Pliny Soper, at Muscogee, Mr. Charles E. Prather, editor of the Meriden Ledger, is in the city. Mrs. G. W. Wood has a calendar which is the embodiment of one of the prettiest ideas imaginable. A young lady friend conceived the idea of numbering and dating 365 sheets of paper and sending them broadcast among Mrs. Wood's friends and acquaintances, asking that each one write a sentiment either origi nal or quoted, and return to her. Some of the sheets she prepared herself, but the larger number went to relatives and intimate friends. When they were returned to the originator of the idea, she had the sheets properly arranged, sized and blocked and fastened firmly to a water color paper background painted in a pretty design. ,Aa a result, the recip ient has every day a message Irom an absent friend. The sentiment for today teems especially appropriate to those who know Mrs. Wood. It is "O friend whose heart still keeps ita prime, whose bright example warms and cheers, yoa teach us how to smile at time, and set to music all his years." Mr. J. M. Meade, resident engineer of the Western Grand division of the Santa Fe and Colorado Midland lines, and Mr. C D. Purdore, resident engineer of the Chicago division are in the city in con sultation with Chief Engineer Dun. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C Hahn and brother Charles, have gone to Springfield, 111., to attend the funeral of their mother, Mrs. Charles Hahn, sr. There will be several box parties at University of Michigan Glee and Banjo club entertainment tomorrow evening. The Stats Journal's Want and Mis cellaneous columns reach each working day in the week more than twice as many Topeka people as can be reached hrough any other paper. This is a faai A LGNtf, SLIM LUNATIC. lie Applied for Lodging at th City Prison Last Xlghf, and Got IU A long, slim crazy man, who couldn't give his name, strolled into the police headquarters late last night, or rather early this morning. Nobody wa8 there except Night Jailer Hopkins, Sergeant Ellison and Patrol Driver Aye. "Are you members of the Metropolitan police force?" he inquired. "Yes," -Hopkins answered. "I wouldn't have thought it. You don't look at alf like Inspector Byrnes." "What do you know about Byrnes?" asked Aye. ''Oh, I know a good deal about him." "Ever live in New York?" Nope. Never there in my life, but I've hearn tell of him a good bit" "Where do you live?" "I've lived in Kansas fourteen years." "What part of Kansas?" "Every part" What towns?" "All of 'em." 'Did you ever live here?" "Never was here till yesterday." Hopkins named every city, town, ham let or flag-station he could think of in Kansas and he hadn't lived at any of them except Atchison. He had been there once. "The fact is, gentlemen," he said apologetically, "I never live in one place more'n two days." Who do you know in Kansas?" was the next question. "I am personally acquainted with most of our great men," he replied with dig nity. "Do you know Governor Morrill?" I never met him." "Do yoa know Lewelling?" "No." "How about Mrs. Lease?" "Never saw her." 'Acquainted with Ingalls?" "Oh, yes, I know him." "Would you recognize him if you saw him?" "Sure." "Well, that's him leaning against the wall," said Aye, pointing towards Ser geant Ellison. "Why, so it is. I didn't look at you real close when I came in. How are you?" Ellison said he was pretty well. "Know this man?" said Aye, indicating Hopkins. "Can't say as I do." "Well, he's General Caldwell. Per haps if you'll salute him he'll give you a night's lodging." The long, slim crazy man backed to the door and then approached, mak ing a military salute. Hopkins said that would do, and led the way to the basement where there were several more tramps, one of whom had the measles. MB. HOUSEilOLDEIl MAD. Wiaaes He Had LbC the I-Vy Pardon Case Alone. Senator M. A. Householder arrived in Topeka this morning from his home at Columbus, and he is quite indignant at the"8tatementa made by JJ. II. Keysaw in regard to hia connection with the Fry pardon case. Senator Householder said to a State Journal reporter that he had appeared before the state board of pardons several times in the interest of Fry, but that he had never received one cent from any source for his services, but did it be cause the people of the county thought the young man had been punished enough. He says he did tell the young man's friends he would soon be out of the pen itentiary and that arrangements for the commutation of his sentence had been made. Senator Householder says after he ap peared before the board of pardon3 the last time he was assured by two mem bers of the board Judge C. E. Foote and Mr. A C Baker that Fry's sentence would be commuted which he considered sufficient grounds for his statement to the young man'a relatives. NEWSPAl'EIi MAN WEDS. Col.

Mrs Mary E. McCravens, one of the earliest settlers of Plummerville. Conway coun -ty, is dead, aged 63 years. It was in her house that Hon. John M. Clayton was murdered and Mrs. McCravens suffered a terrible shock by that tragedy from which she never fully recovered. THE WOMAN'S WOULD. The American Wife of the Famous English Story Writer. DR. PARKHDRST OS "THE HEW WOM&H" Tills Year's Sunshades The Wedd in Gdwi-The Latest Id Wall Paper Nellie Bly. Mrs. Rudyard Kipling is a slender little -woman, with soft brown eyes, dark hair and a very sweet expression. She is not "a new 'woman" and does not care for any society except that of her household, and she and her husband are so congenial in tasteB and ideas that they live all the year around in a little farmhouse 15 miles from Brattleboro, Yt., and never even think of being bored. It seems curious that such a bit MRS. RTJDTAED KIPLING. ter American hater as Kipling should have an American wife and a home in the heart of Yankeedom, but he seems perfectly contented with both. Mrs. Kipling was Miss Carolyn Bales tier, with whose brother, the late Wol cott Balestier, Mr. Kipling collaborated for several years. The third member of the family is Miss Josephine Kipling, who was 2 years old last New Year's day, and from the stories one hears of her must be as precocious as that typ ical American child whom Papa Kipling hates. It is said that Miss Josephine re cently declared in bitterness of heart: "Boo-hool My papa tells lots of sto ries and gets money for 'em, and I tell one little weeny story and get spanked. Boo-hoo!" We can imagine Kipling laying down the pen to administer the slipper. New York Commercial Advertiser. This Tear's Sunshades. The new parasols have many little details different from those of last year, but are about the same size and shape, says a writer in the Boston Herald. The eccentric shapes are never considered very good form and are only a fad which, as a rule, most women do no indulge in. Those of this year have sometimes two materials. For instance, the center part will be of silk or satin, then will come an insertion of folds of chiffon, then a baud of the thick mate rial and a ruffle of the chiffon. It is claimed that this fashion of having the center of the thick goods shades the eyes sufficiently, and then that the shad ows cast by having alternate stripes of satin and chiffon make them very be ooming to the complexion. Black and white parasols are exceed ingly smart. Not the black and white material so much as the black trimmed with white, although quite a number of black and white stripes are made up, and black and white brocades in fancy designs and trimmed with ruffles of black lace seem to meet with general favor. The black satin, with broad do signs of coarse white lace and deep ruffles of the same lace, are very smart indeed. The advantage of this style of parasol is that it can be worn with a gown of any color and look well, black and white being permissiblo with ev erything. The ruffles of lace and chiffon add greatly to the beauty of any para sol, but they do prove troublesome for anything that is in daily use and are of course entirely out of place with a tai lor made gown or any walking costume. The fancy pompadour .silks are made up into exceedingly dainty parasols. These come with blue, pink, yellow or white ground, with the sprays of flow ers embroidered on them. Sometimes they are made up with lace ruffles, but again are perfectly plain. Tho handles are of whitewood, and there is a big bow on top. They are extremely reason able in price, considering their beauty, and can be bought as low as $6. Indeed all parasols are much cheaper this sea son. The Wedding Gown.. It is high time for brides to think more about the becoming qualities of the wedding gown and less about con ventionality, for it is undeniably a very trying costume, and it is only the inter est of the occasion, as well as the lov ing sympathy of relatives and friends, which makes a halo about a young1 wom an at a time, that causes her to be con sidered beautiful. The truth of the mat ter, fraukly stated, is that the majority of women never looked worse in their lives than when arrayed for the altar. Can anything be more trying, for in stance, than the usual high necked white satin bodice that incases a fair young girl possibly on a fiery hot day in summer? Even in winter the effect is to turn a blond complexion yellow and make a brunette look sallow aud dark, and in summer it is unspeakably ugly and uncomfortable. While low necked gowDS are not con sidered good form for wedding attira (and certainly they are not desirable for broad daylight), it seems as if a com promise might be arranged between a ball cut bodice aud the high, stiff collar now in vogue. A young girl's threat is generally too pretty to conceal under stiff "wiaan" and folds of thick satin. Then materials, snch as crepe lisse or mousseline de soie, are far prettier and more becoming than silks or satins. New York Tribunu. Dr. Parkhorst on "the New Woman." But," whatever certain adventurous women may. think about it, it is suffi ciently clear that nature has certain pretty decided opinions of its own on the matter, and that nature has so wrought its opinions into the tissue of woman's physical constitution. and func tion that any feminine attempt to mu tiny against wifehood, motherhood and domestic "limitations" is a hopeless and rather imbecile attempt to escapa the inevitable, writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst in an article on "Tha True Mission, of Woman" in The La dies' Home Journal. All the femala congresses in the world might combina in colossal mass meeting and vote with passionate show of hands that woman's sphere is coincident with the spherity of the globe or even of all the heavens, but the very idiosyncrasy of her physic al build and tho limitations essentially bound np in it will sponge out her mass meeting resolutions as fast as she can pass them. It is well enough for her to say that she wishes she were a man, but she is not, and till she is she might za well succumb to the fact that God and na ture had very different intentions for her from what he had for her brothers, and that ho recorded his intentions in a way that he has taken some pains to pre vent her being able to forget. I am real ly sorry for those women that wish they were men. I wish they were. It would be such a relief to the rest of ns as well as to them. t The Latest In Wall Paper. The very lastest fashion in wall dec oration is a bizarre, staring shade of paper known as hunter's red. It comes in plain all over red and again varie gated with figures and pictures. The gro tesque and fantastic designs suggest the headless dragons, centaurs and puz zling eccentricities of tho old fashioned paperings of our grandmother's day. The paper is used to decorate bache lors' dens and the bed chambers of country houses.. It is essentially Eng lish in character and design, many cf the designs depicting red coated hunters in English fields. So vividly green in the grass, so impossibly blue the water, so distorted the image of the wounded stag, repeated over and over again on yards and yards of papering, that the beholder wonders alike at the artist'a powers of invention and the taste which makes such creations possible. Fashion decrees that with this wall decoratio must go old time English prints cf hunting scenes. With such wall decoration for bed rooms and bachelor apartments the old fashioned c1 ntz bed curtains and val ance of three generations ago have re appeared. Every imaginable variety oi big flowered pattern and prim design is shown in these cottons, and many of them are as delicate in tint and texture as the prettiest silk draperies. New York Sun. Nellie Bly. Nellie Bly is an American. Her real name is Elizabeth Cochrane. She is more of an American than most Amer icans because her ancestors in the gloomy past came over and helped cut down the first trees in Pennsylvania. Nellie Bly's achievements -lead one to believe that she must be at least 24 years old. Her appearance, however, is that of a much younger woman. She is rather tall and slender, with a very interesting and intelligent face. Her eyes re brown, her hair almost black. Her hands seem almost too small to hold a pen. She writes, however, very rapidly. The newspaper work which this young woman has done h:is had the advantage of publicity. She lived as a supposedly insane patient in the asylum on Black well's island for ten days. The result of tho articles concerning her experi ence there was a largo appropriation that has meant comfort to many help less insane creatures. Her description of the treatment of female prisoners m the police stations was another achievement in the interest of tho unfortunate. The appointment of police matrons to care for the female prisoners was the result of that place of excellent'work. New York World. Council of Jewish Women. The Hebrews as' a race are careful and deliberate. To his quality they owo their individuality and success. But once started they display an energy aud activity which are simply phenomenal. This has been the case with the Na tional Council of Jewish Women. They were slow in forming and in elaborat ing a perfect system of organization. But when this had been accomplished and all was ready they entered into the work of extension with an alacrity that was marvelous. As a result they have completed an organization which covers every part of the Union. Wherever there is a Jewish community tho council has an active branch of intelli gent, benevolent and broad minded women. The heads of the organization have been very skillful in selecting ablo local managers in nearly every instance. Among the more active leaders are Mrs. H. Solomon of Chicago, Mrs. A. KobnS of New York, Miss Sadie American and Miss Rosalie G laser of Chicago, Mrs. Isabel R. Wallach and Mrs. Minnie D. Louis of New York, Mrs. Clifton Levy of Baltimore, Miss Kohler and Mis3 Wald of New York, Mrs. Carrie Ben jamin of Denver and 2Jrs. Ollesheim of New York. New York Mail and Ex press. Benighted. Of the action of certain members of the Massachusetts legislature in form ing themselves into a committee to can vass the house against woman suffrage, the Springfield Republican says: This procedure is disagreeable, no doubt, but woman suffragists must" not mistake about its nature it is simply politics. It does not involve moral tur- NEW HATS, TRIMMED AND UNTRIMMED. This plate shows the frames of several untrimmed hat and bonnets. The lownr center one ia trimmed with velvet sewn with blue spangles. The strings aro of blae chiffon. The parasols show the newest designs. Tha large one is draped full of black chuf on. pitude unless some of the votes were got by log rolling or other trade and dick er. About its thoroughly benighted char acter there can be no doubt. It shows how scared weak men are at the pros pect of a new force in publio affairs, how jealous tbey are of their masculine prerogative. The more first rate men, in character and brains, are sent to the legislature the larger the'vote for wom en's enfranchisement will be. There ought to be great care to pick out worthy citizens to the great, and gener al court, and the time is nigh when be lief in the equal ballot for women will be regarded as a most important crite rion of fitness. Illinois Factory Women. The supreme court of Illinois has de cided that the eight hour law, or, as it is generally known, the sweat shop law, is unconstitutional. The law pro hibited the employment of women for more than eight hours a day or more than 48 hours a week in any factory in Illinois. Probably 40,000 women in Il linois who work in factories are affect ed by the decision, 32,000 of whom live in Chicago. They are mployed in tho main in shoe factories, cloak and cloth ing houses, candy factories, paper box shops aud various other manufacturing establishments. The judges also pro nounced unconstitutional section 10 of the bill, which provided an annual ap propriation of S30, 000 for factory in spectors, whose chief duty was to see that the eight hour clause was enforced. This will probably end the valuablo work that tho women factory inspectors have been carrying on, with Mrs. Flor ence Kelley as their chief. Springfield Letter. She Is Still Pastor. Whether in accord with tho discipline or not, Miss Mary M. Dennis continues pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of East Park, Indianapolis, which she organized and which now has a membership of 200. The Indian apolis correspondent of The Western Christian Advocate says: "Miss M. M. Dennis, pastor of East Park, is among the industrious and un tiring workers in the city. Through all the cold, stormy weather cf the past two months she conducted successful re vival services in her charge and attend ed to all her pastoral duties in addition. Sho has a growing Sunday school and congregation and is deservedly popu lar." Not a "Neir Woman." Henry Ilarland, the author of "As It Was Written" and other successful nov els, is a Londoner these days, and Mrs. Harland is cue of tho most successful women in London literary circles. Her success is purely personal, She doesn't "do" anything. She is very pretty and gracious and popular and much admir ed by young Beardsley, the creator of the latest new kind of curious women in art and a small London idol today. Mr. Harland points out his wife as not a "new woman." "Look at 'oer, he says. "Probably she doesn't 1:now the name of the president of Fran :o at this moment, but isn't sha a success!" Ancestral Kesearcn Their Work, iliss Aimie H. Wharton and Miss Av-nie H. Cresson of Philadelphia, both Colonial Dames, have adopted historical research as a profession aud have formed a bureau of ancestral research, iliss Wharton is the historian of the Colonial Dames and author of "Through Colonial Doorways" and other works bearing upon the same period. She and Miss Cresson are specially expert in seeking out and arranging ancestral records in the Historical society documents and other archives. Beges' Little Giant Pills! Beggs' Little Giant Pills!

8 STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1895. Idron, The reason why they are thin is because their food does not nourish them. Probably they do not assimilate enough fat. Cod-liver Oil is the most easily assimilated of all fats, but in its natural state it upsets the stom ach and deranges the digestion. In Scott's Emulsion of Cod liver Oil with Hypophosphites this difficulty is overcome. It is half -digested already and is very palatable. Children grow fat ori it when all other food fails to nourish them. Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute Scott Bowne, N. Y. Ail Druggists. 50c and van Paper Any design, any price.

DeuU. g1 J3i Governor Morrill's Administration "Wants tne Praise OF THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Tbo Sixth District Will Send SB Anti Jlorrill Delegation Many Other Delegates Opposed. The political manipulators within the Republican party who are allied by "the ie that binds" them to the present ad ministration, are uow trying to fix things, so that Governor Morrill's administra tion will be endorsed by the state con vention of the Republican league which is to be held here next week. Chairman Cy Le-land, of the Republi can state central committee, is said to have men at work all over the state this week, trying to lix the delegates to the league convention so that Governor Mor-. rill will not fail to. secure the much cov eted endorsement President Charles M. Sheldon of the Republican league, i3 an administration man, and if he names a committee on resolutions which reports an endorse ment of the Morrill administration, the enemies of the administration will be forced to lead the tight against the adop tion of the report of the committee on the convention floor. It is known that the Sixth district will send a solid anti-Morrill dele gation to the league convention, and even up in the First district, where Chairman Leland and Governor Morrill have been supposed to have full sway, Jefferson and Leavenworth counties are now counted among the anties." From every part of the state it is said there will bo delegates opposed to an endorsement of the administration and this is the reason there is such great activity just now in adminstration cir cles. ''If the administration is not endorsed, it might, as well go out of business," is the way one Republican put it today and that seems to be the way Governor Mor rill's backers look at the situation. A STRANGER TAKEN IN. An "Unknown Arabian" Fined and Two Spraps Kactifljd Today. The most interesting case in the po lice court today was that of a young man who looked like the foreground of a picture of Castle Garden on landing day. He was booked as "unknown Arabian," and his offense was fast driv ing. The unknown could not talk Eng lish, or at least pretended that he could neither talk nor understand the language of the realm. He had some friends there who said the unknown had been in America only a few weeks, and did not know there was any law agaiust fast driving His friends told the court what the unknown's name was. It appear ed to begin with A and end with Z, and sounded like a cross-eyed man with the hiccoughs and blind staggers trying to pronounce a slip of a typesetting machine. Inasmuch as the police like to get names right or not at all, his name was not entered, and he will go down to posterity as '-unknown Arabian" as far as the police records are concerned. He was lined 3, which his friends paid. The arrest was made by Chief Wilkerson in person, when he was on his way to raid a joint last night. The Arabian was coming down the street with his horse at a dead run. lie had been racing with another man but the latter saw the police more than a block away and stopped going so fast. ii. Bryant forfeited a $0 deposit for beiug drunk. Officer Brussmau found him late last night leaninsr against a wooden Indian on Kansas avenue, near Eighth street which he was fondly calling "ole fel." When he left "ole fel" he lost his balance and "fell" again. Then he got up, and with a great deal of labor succeeded in going a block in twenty minutes. The officers had been watching him for some time, and concluded that he was help less, and took him to the station. Years ago Bryant used to own a jewelry store near the spot where the city building now stands, and Brussman assured a re porter that years ago he used to be a "bon ton society man." .Nobody was surprised when Tom Hare was brought in for the same offense, for he has been there so many times before. He was let off with a $5 tine. He ought to take the Keeley cure or some other Hare-restorer. John Langen, Dr. W. A. Karr and R. Neisler, charged with gelling liquor, had their cases continued.

The mortgage foreclosure suits against the railroads which are in the bauds of receivers seem to be without number. The latest of these is one filed in the United-States ciicuit court against the eastern division of the Union Pacific, which is the road east of Wa-Keeney. The suit is brought to foreclose $4,063,000 in bonds, given by the man agement of the Kansas Pacific in 1869, to John E. Thompson, Adolph Mier and John A. Stewart. The mortgage was then on the middle division of that road, but when it was consolidated with the Union Pacific the mortgage was assumed by that management and the middle di vision of the Union Pacific. A receiver is asked for and also an in junction to restrain the receiver of the Union Pacific from making anv disposi tion of the earnings or proceeds of that part of the road. Herr Dowie has at last completed his process for making invulnerable cloth. Success always attends honest efforts, neither competition nor dishonest rivalry can shake the people's belief in the goodness of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. RED, RIPE BERRIES.

Herbert Johnson, who used to be a fireman at station No. 1 in North To peka, was in the police court today on the complaint of Liveryman Henry Lodge, lhe case was not disposed of. Lodge claims that Johnson went to his livery barn Boon after dinner yesterday and took out a horse and a light buggy, expecting to be back by 3:3.). When the time came Johnson didn't return. Pretty soon it began to rain and hail, and still no Johnson, no rig. At supper time Mr. Lodge became alarmed and after supper he came to the south side to try to find some trace of him. He found several places where Johnson had been, and ex Policeman "Doc" Ward had been with him. At about 9 o'clock, or shortly after, Johnson returned with the horse and rig. Lodge says they were a sorry loL He de clares Johnson had been drinking too much. The horse was almost exhausted from being overdriven and was covered all over with mud. He expected the buggy to be muddy, but had not antici pated to find mud two inches deep on the cushions. Lodge says that Johnson re fused to pay anything for the use of the rig, and he was responsible for Johnson being at the police headquarters today. The case may be settled out of court. TO KEEP MARTIN THERE. The Present Chief Jnstice will be Nomin ated by the Republicans. In Republican circles it is generally conceded that Judge David Martin who was recently appointed chief justice of the supreme court to succeed Judge Horton, will.be placed on the ticket as the party candidate this fall by-the state central committee. Among the Populist lawyers talked of in this connection are It. L Sankey of Wichita and T. L. Bond of Salina. On account of the great expense at tending a state convention it is likely that both parties will make their nom inations through their central cdmmit tees. The Home of the Vikings." Hear Hon. W.W.
