In AVefttern Oklahom Thny 'are and Cattle are Suffering;. Gutiibie, Ok., April 27. Continuous sunshine, high winds and absence of rain have beeu the prevailing conditions, and as a result winter wheat and spring crops of every description have made little growth.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. It Is Cloudy Over the West and Will Kain Sums Tonight. If Mr. Jennings is correct in his esti mate of the weather, the old saying iibout the "seven Sundays after Eaater" is on its road to fulfillment He says it will rain tonight and tomorrow, but the precipation will not be great. The barometer continues comparative ly low in the west, but is slowly rising eastward, due to the southeastward movement of the "high" from the north, which is now apparently passing across the upper lakes. Rain has fallen at Amarillo, Cheyenne, Lander, North Platte, Valentine, St. Paul and St Louis, while the cloudiness has materially increased over all the western states, with rising temperature in Ne braska, the Dakotas and Montana. The conditions this morning indicate fair weather today, with showers tonight and Sunday iu the vicinity of Topeka, without much change in temperature. SCHWE1NFURTH INDICTED.

The theory that the treasury of this city and county would become exhausted in the course of so many days or weeks, as the result of reckless drafts upon it for election and other expenses has become a fact The treasury is exhausted and trades people refuse to honor the requisitions of the supervisors. Superintendent Weaver of the alms house says his cattle are hungry and within a few days unless relief is given, the 900 inmates will be crying for bread. Fire Commissioner Bohen says there is no food for the horses and no coal for the engines, and none can be had unless there is money to pay for it The gravity of the situation was made known at a meeting of the finance com mittee of the board of supervisors yes terday afternooD, at which both the mayor and the city and county attorney were present It was decided to call a meeting of the heads of departments to be held in Mr. Cresswell's office this morning at 10 o'clock, when soma plan will be dis cussed.

They Have Been of Great Value to Crops and Stock. Fort Worth, Tex., April 26 The rains of the past week, general through out Texas, have been of inestimable value to crops. What wheat the frost left is doing well. Many wheat fields were plowed up and planted to oats, which with corn, is making a good ap pearance. As the ground has been too dry for much cotton planting heretofore, this will be rushed now. A fine growth of grass and plenty of stock water is as sured for cattle. SMALLPOX AT OTTAWA.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, SATURDAt EVENING. APRIL, 27. CAN'T STOP IT. The "Sixteen to One" Movement is Gigantic. Illinois Democracy Will Declare For It In Spite of Frantic Efforts of Whippers In. ALL SOUTH AND WEST Will Follow in Stampede. the Big Chicago Goldbugs Disheartened by the Outlook. PARTY LINES GONE. Illinois Eepublicans Are For Free Silver Coinage Along With Their Brethren of Democratic Faith. Coldbug Democrats Shriek "The Party is Wrecked Chicago, April 27. The most sensa tional political development for many a day in Chicago, if not in the entire west, was made public this afternoon. The coming Democratic state conven tion in Illinois will beyond all doubt de clare for free silver without international agreement of any kind, and the move ment is of such strength that other west ern and southern states will be prevented with great difficulty, if at all, from fol lowing the lead of Illinois. As a party, the Democracy of Illinois is doomed to disorganization. The authority for these statements ia Hon. John May Palmer, corporation counsel of Chicago, aad one of the best Known Democrats in the state. He is not a free silver man. On the contrary he has a reputation with the more pro nounced silver element as a decided "gold bug." Mr. Palmer is the son of United States Senator Palmer, who has been leading the sound money tight for the national administration in Illinois. The statements were made in an interview this afternoon and the news caused wide spread comment and specu lation. Mr. Palmer returned to Chicago today from the state capital. He said:" 1 he sentiment in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without international con ference or agreement, seems to have tak en complete possession of the Democra cy of Illinois, outside of Cook county. fl conferred with men of all shades of opinion upon this subject, with Re publicans as well as Uemocrats. 1 tam ed with Republicans because sometimes the lookers on see more of the game than the players. "I met old friends with whom I could talk confidentially and got the impres sion that while there is a very strong and respectable sentiment throughout the state in opposition to this currency theo ry, yet the opponents of 16 to 1 are with out organization, apparently without any ambition to succeed and are singularly silent, while the silver men are vigorous, active and aggressive. "It seems to me utterly impossible that the opponents of 16 to 1 silver, should they take part in the June convention, could make any serious impression. The convention will unquestionably declare in favor of 16 to 1, without conference with any nation. "We who oppose the view, although there are some differences of opinion among us, will as a rule take no part in the convention, although in some counties delegations will be sent composed of leading men to represent both views wholly irrespective of the sentiment in the particular lo cality. "There has been a great deal of unne cessary personal irritation and controver sy over this subject, which is very much to be deplored. There will be a good deal of talk about 'reading men out of the party.' The immediate effect of the expected declaration will be to dis organize the Demoratic party in this ssate if such a thing is possible. The ultimate effect, should the currency question be the prominent one of 1896,, will be the reorganization of both par ties on new lines. "Those who like myself may be called conservatives have a faint hope that we may be able to induce the June convention to declare that it is expedient to draw party lines upon the silver question by a state conven tion, but I confess I have no great confidence that "we will be able to secure this. unless the refusal of the Democrats, who agree with me to take part in the convention shall lead the party elsewhere to believe that Democratic sentiment is not thoroughly represented by the con vention, this declaration will have a very strong and powerful influence upon the parties in the western and southern states, but will not, I think, affect any thing east of Ohio." Old "Sound" Money Allison. Chicago, 111., April 27. Senator Wil liam B. Allison of Iowa, passed through Chicago today on his way to Washing ton. "l am in favor of sound money," he said. Agfd Jurist Oylas- St. Joseph, April 27. Ex-Gov. Silas Woodson, who had a cerebral hemorrh age last night, is dying. The aged jurist is iu his seventy-seventh year. WHEAT'SBIG JUMP. A Report That Phil Armour Has Cor- nered the Market. Chicago, April 27. Wheat made another long stride upward today. The July option closed at which is 1 cents higher than it closed last night. Numerous causes for the day's ad vance were given, the most prominent of which was the hitch in the Japanese-Chinese negotiations. The Evening Post prints a story that P. D. Armour has practically cornered the market, controlling all available wheat. It is said that William H. Wallace, who is reported to control all the available stock of contract grade of wheat in New York is closely connected with Armour, and is in with the latter in the deal Armour's holdings are said to be enor mous and his control of the stock is said to be the real cause of the late advance in prices. RUSSIAN WHEAT CROP. Demand for Russian Urain Said to be Ex ceptionally Great. Washington, April 27. The state de partment has received a report from Consul General Karol at St. Petersburg, upon the Russian wheat supply with an estimate of grain for the crop year of 1894-95 taken from an article published in the Messenger of Finance. The figures are given in Russian meas urement, a pood amounting to 36,112 pounds. The grain har vested is as follows: Wheat, 424,278,500 poods; rye, 105,382,000 poods; oats. 558,640,000 poods, and barley 228,384,000 poods. Deducting the amount required for home consumption there remains for export, wheat 21,073, 000 poods, rye 97,452,000 poods. The Messenger thinks there are good prospects for Russian grain by reason of feebie competition from trans-oceanic countries, and because of the low prices. The Messenger advises Russian ex porters .to keep back their supply, as Russia at present is placed in exception ally favorable, positions, and the demand for her grain is at present very good. RET. MR. PINCH ENDORSED. TV. C. T. V. Expresses Approval in An Ap propriate Resolution. Emporia, Kas., April 27. Emporia's W. C. T. U. has endorsed Rev. Pearse Pinch's recent sermoa iu the following resolution: Resolved, That this Rev. Pearse Pinch it3 for his courageous only on behalf of law, but as a plea union extend to profound thanks utterances not the prohibitory for the foun dation and permanence of all law, we believe he has sounded a key note that ought to be heeded we be lieve that the assumption by the state that a" law cannot be enforced in local ities where it is odious holds with equal force to all laws, and is a virtual ack nowledgment that law is subverted and that anarchy prevails. We rejoice that Bra Pinch "beareth not the sword in vain" and that he has the courage to unsheath it even agaiust those in high places. SANTA FE 'ENGRAVINGS."

Investment Coin pany Arrested For Murder. Kansas City, April 27. A special to the Star from Gutnrie, O. T., says a big sensation was caused there by the arrest last night of W. H. Thome, presi dent of a leading investment company and O. C. Seeley, a prominent contractor on the charge of murdering Frank Ledgers, the young Englishman whose body was found in the river last Septem ber and the cause of whoje death re mained a mystery until the English government sent a detective here a few weeks ago. He at once went to work and besides these two men has arrested William Knowles, a member of the police force, and Frank: Thorpe, a negro porter of a notorious resort, all charged with being implicated in the murder. When the body was found a watch and considerable loose change was found in the pockets, which seemed to allay the suspicions of rob bery, but several thousand dol lars young Ledgers had brought from England were never found and as he boarded at the Thorn es, whom he had known in England, it is alleged by the officials, that Thorne wanted him out of the way to get this money. NOT MANY THERE. But John Temple Graves' Lecture at Hamilton Hall Wan Good.

As an ex planation of the refusal of the admin istration to entertain Nicaragua's ap peal for protection against Great Britain, it is now learned that the United States is reserving its energies so as to deal with the Venezuelan question becomingly when the crisis there, which cannot much longer be averted; is reached. The British gov ernment has been given to un derstand that the United States does not take issue with it as to the right to exact an indemnity and reason able reparation from Nicaragua, con sidering the gravity of the offense committed by the Nicaraguan govern ment in expelling a British official and British subjects from Nicaragua in de fiance of all principles of international law and comity. The fact that the Americans who were expelled at the same time by the Nicaraguans were afterwards voluntarily permitted to return to the country lias not in any degree served to palliate the offense committed against Great Britain, and against civilization, in the eye of the state department. In consenting to the execution of the British programme in Nicaragua, however, the state de partment was very careful to give full notice that it should not permit the British to annex a foot of Nicaraguan soil, nor to interfere with the repub lican form of government there. COBISTO OCCUPIED BY THE BRITISH. London April 27. In well informed English quarters yesterday it was de clared that the British ultimatum to Nicaragua had not been modified; that Adm. Stephenson had not been cabled to extend the time granted Nicaragua within which to pay the indemnity of 875,000 demanded by Great Britain, and, in the absence of definite news, it was believed that the admiral has already occupied Corinto. The belief is also expressed here that the Nicaraguan government will not yield to the demands of Great Britain until compelled to do so, in order to avoid being forced to resign office. TREATY MAY NOT BE BATIFIED. Shanghai, April 27. A dispatch re ceived here from Pekin says that affairs there are In a critical state. Some of the generals favor a continuance of war. The censors object to Viceroy Li Hung Chang and the terms of the treaty of peace between China and Japan and the officials are claiming that the em peror alone should decide upon the terms. The ratification of the treaty, consequently, is uncertain, and if it is ratified it is feared that there will be trouble with the army. HONORED BY THE MIKADO. Washington, April 27. A telegram received at the Japanese legation states that his imperial majesty, the emperor of Japan, has conferred upon Minister Kurino the decoration of the second class of the Order of the Rising Sun. The decoration is on account of his services in the negotiation of the com mercial treaty with the United States. The Order of the Rising Sun is one of the oldest orders in Japan. XOOHXSTG FOR ANOTHER REVOLUTION. San Francisco, April 27. Consul General C. D. Wilder, of Hawaii, and United States Secret Service Agent Harris have been warned of a con spiracy on foot in this city to over throw the Hawaiian government by means of another revolution.

WORK OF THE LAST CONGRESS Over Twelve Thoasand Bills Introduced, bat Very Few .Became Laws. Washington, April 27. According to figures prepared by B. S. Piatt, en rolling clerk of the senate, 720 bills and ioint resolutions became laws dur ing the third session of the Pifty-third congress. Of these 215 were senate and 505 house bills and resolutions. During the entire congress 12,223 meas ures were introduced in the two houses, of which 2,952 originated in the senate and 9,271 in the house. -The senate passed 527 of its own bills, but only 239 of these received favorable action in the house, while of the 711 house bills which passed the house 569 also passed the senate. The president vetoed or failed to sign twenty-four of the sen ate bills sent to him, while fifty-four house bills met the same fate at the hand of the executive. It appears from this statement that less than 6 per cent, of the bills introduced during the congress became laws. Of 50,000 persons subjected to Bertil lon's identification system, no two were exactly alike. On the contrary, Price's Cream Paking Powder is always alike, never varies. MRS. MORRILL GOING WEST.

The con dition of the crops is growing more precarious in this section. The wheat crop is an absolute failure, and most of it has been plowed up. The oat crop is in 6erious danger now and unless it rains soon it is feared the chinch bugs will work havoo with the later crops. Beyond a few local showers, this sec tion of the county has had no rain for months. Like nnto the flourishing "green bay tree" is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow der. Honest methods and skillful hands have sprodaced this household treasure. Indian Lands Badly Surveyed. Washington, April 27. Secretary Smith has decided that lands located within the boundaries of the Old Crow Indian reservation in Montana, which by an erroneous survey were believed to be outside the boundary of the res ervation, and were settled in goad faith prior to the opening of the res ervation, must, nevertheless, be paid for at the rate of SI. 50 per acre. Clearing house returns for the prin cipal cities in the United States for the week ended April 26 showed an average increase as compared with the corre sponding week last year of 16.7; in New York the increase was 25.7; outside New York, 6.3.

Carpets washed at Tofkka Steak Lausdrx. A STEADY GAM. The Condition of Trade is Grad ually Improving. Cotton Goes Higher but Wool Touched Bottom. STRIKES NUMEROUS. Failures 240 This Week Against 179 Last Year. New York, April 27. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Neither the rising speculative markets nor the steady gain in industries has ceased, and it is wholesome that there are fewer signs of hesitation in the pro ductive industries than in speculative prices. Wages strikes grow more nu merous and cause some trouble and re tail demand lags behind wholesale, and jobbing purchases behind production in some branches, but through many conflicting reports the fact shines out that the industries are gaining, not with a rush and whirl, but more safely. It is less clear that railroads are in creasing their earnings or that over production of cotton will be cured by the advance of 1 cents in price, or that cornering short sellers of wheat wi'J. help to market the large surplus. But revival of activity in all these di rections helps confidence to take the throne so long held by distrust. Potton mills are getting more money for goods and have quite generally ad vanced wages. Consumption of north ern spinners at the maximum would be in eight months 1,350,000 bales, but they ham actually taken 1,950,000, and haye a profit on 600,000 bales controlled of over 84,000,000. The consumption is larger and advances seem to be war ranted on production, stimulated be cause ore, coke and oil products were to be dearer. On the whole new busi ness is said to be smaller than in Feb ruary or March. The structural demand for buildings throughout the country was never larger; the frenzy in oil has started a large demand for pipe and sheets at slight advances. Rails are stagnant, though a shade better at Chicago; wire for fencing nails and wire rods are so dull as to be scarcely quoted, and bar, though lifted a shade, meets no in creased demand. Bessemer pig is lower and sales of southern pig in northern markets have been large at 25 cents advance. Finished products are nearly all at their lowest price. Wool has sold at the lowest price on record this week, 16 cents for Ohio and 9 cents for years' Texas and offers to clear old stocks before new supplies come forward tempt manufacturers to purchase beyond present needs. SaWs of foreign, 8,117,300 pounds in three weeks of April, against 9,292,500 domes tic, make the total 17,403,800 against 15,906,100 in 1892 and less, of course, in 1893 and 1394. Demand for dress goods continues large and improving, but un certainty in men's wear goods con tinues, and is somewhat increased by more numerous strikes. Cotton flan nels are 5 to 74 per cent, lower and an auction sale is to be held and some irregularity appears in prices for fine fancy goods. Higher prices for wheat, nearly 3 cents above last week's trend to check Atlantic exports which flour included", were only 1,868,873 bushels, for the week against 2,620,445 last year, though for the previous two weeks about equal to last year's. Cotton touched 7 cents, receding to 693; 9,312,306 bales had come into sight last week and British exports of goods were 120,000,000 yards less in the first quarter this year than last. With such facts the rise does nos help to lessen southern acreage. The failures for the week have been 240 in ihe United States, against 179 last year and 37 in Canada, "against 26 last year. ARKANSAS HAILSTORM. Residences Damaged, Vegetation Destroyed and a Woman Scared to Death. St. Louis, April 27. A special from Camden, Ark., -says: A terrible hail storm swept over this portion of Ouchita county last night. The dam age done in this city alone will reach an enormous amount. The court house, opera house and many resi dences were badly damaged by the hail. Vegetation of all kinds is beaten into the ground. Meager reports from adjoining counties show that the corn crop is stamped out and new planting will be necessary. The fruit crop is knocked off fully 90 per cent. An old negro woman named Kauf man, who had been in a bad state of health was freightened to death by the terrific noise made. A house was blown down and two negroes caught in the debris, seriously injuring them internally.

Report That Gov. Morrill Will Be Asked to Selnstat the Kansas Warden. Leavexworth, Kan.,, April 27. There was a report current here yes terday that Gov. Morrill is likely to withdraw his order suspending Warden Chase, so as to permit contractors fur nishing supplies to the penitentiary to secure their money, and if that is not done soon they will cease to supply food to the state. Under the con tract payments must be made monthly, but the order of the governor suspending Warden Chase and appoint ing Deputy Markham -has only helped to complicate affairs. The deputy de clined to act as warden and Chase is in full control. The board of directors, under the instructions of the attorney general, has declined to approve any vouchers for pay and there the case stands. The contractors have not been paid for last month, and an other month is soon to expire, without any probability of their getting their money. Local merchants will appeal to the governor to rescind his order of suspension and it is thought that in the light of the result of the investiga tion, he will be willing to do it.

Entire Villages Flooded and In habitants Drowned. RECOVER 3S CORPSES. No Estimate Can be Made of the Dead. The Rush of Water WTas Over 100 Metres Wide. Epinal, France, April 27. An enor mous reservoir near here burst today in undating many villages in the district, and drowning a number of people. So far thirty-eight corpses have been recov ered. The damage done to property is tremendous. The great. Bousey dyke of the-Epinal district of the Vosge3, it now appears, burst at 5 o'clock this morning. 'Ihe cubic area of the dyke is 8,000,000 me tres. A great rush of water and much loss of life followed. It is impossible at this hour to get a correct estimate of the damage done, or of the number of lives lost, but from the number of bodies al ready found, the indications are the loss of life will be very heavy. The railways in all directions are in terrupted and a number of villages are entirely flooded. In some places entire houses were swept away and large trees torn up by the roots. The reservoir was situated close to the village of Bousey and was connected with the canal De L'Eate. The breach caused by the rush of water is over 100 metres broad. Everything possible is being done to rescue imperilled persons. Many fami lies are still in danger. The authorities are also taking steps to provide relief for the homeless. Assistance and supplies will be sent from the nearest point, I1R. WILDEIt'S HEALTH. His Friends Responsible for the Statement That He Is Working Too Hard. Treasurer Edward Wilder of the Santa Fe says that his health is not affected by his hard work and the grip. It is a well known fact among railroad officials that he works harder than he should, and his recent attack of "the grip" has con firmed their theory. The information about Mr. Wilder was obtained from his friends, who know to what a severe test his powers of endurance have been sub jected. Mr. Wilder is not the first man who has insisted that he "was all right" when warned against overworking. WIL D E'S TRIAL RES U M ED. Evidence of Alfred Wood Not Shaken by Cross Examination.

Frederick Atkins, described as a variety singer, gave evi dence a3 to knowing Alfred Taylor and others mentioned during the-trial.

GRADUATE IN CALICOES. Novel Scheme of Young Women at the University of Michigan. Ann Arbor, Mich., April 27. The senior literary class of the university had its cap and gown "swing out" at chapel exercises before an immense audience, which cheered loudly as over 100 of the class marched in with their mortar boards and sable robes. Slightly over half of these were "co-ed3." The sensation of the day was caused by the circulation of a pledge among the "co-eds" in the class to graduate in cal ico or other cheap dresses so as to sub scribe the more liberally to the "co-ed" gymnasium fund.

Augusta People Stop the Building of the Court House at Eldorado. The old county seat war between El dorado and Augusta, in Butler county, the largest county in the state, has broken out anew. The county commissioners are building a new court house at Eldorado and the Augusta people don't like it a bit. They say they have discovered that the men who are doing the work on the court house got the con tract by unfair means and the interests of the tax payers of the county demand that the work be stopped. The Augusta people have accord ingly hired Lawyer John A. Eaton to represent them and he today secured a temporary restraining order from the supreme court enjoining the county commissioners and the county treasurer from paying out any money to the court house contractors. The case will be heard at the opening of the May term of court. Honey for Fire Departments. State Superintendent of Insurance Geo. T.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange. Room 5, Columbian Building. Wheat opened with a wild rush this morning at an advance ot about a half a cent over night, and closed with a net gain of 1 cents, which ia doing quite well for a short session. This is over 11c higher than it was. a few weeks ago when we said that wheat was a better investment than gov ernment bonds. What do you think of it now? How much of the 11 cent ad vance did you place to your credit? How much of the next 15 cent advance are you going to place to your credit? We have constantly advised purchases of wheat, both before the advance begun and during its progress.. The financial panic of 1S93 put the whole world into a selling fever, and everybody haa been selling, selling everything of value and turning it into money. Two years of liquidation have loaded everybody's pockets with non productive money. Money in the pocket makes no profit, and now everyone wants to buy at the same time. This buying fever commenced in sil ver, oil, cotton, cattle, meats and provisions aud is now just beginning in wheat The panic drove the price of wheat to the lowest prices ever re corded, and over 100,000,000 bushels were fed to farm animals, thus greatly reducing the sujiply of stocks in farm ers' hands. Country reserves of wheat are so light that millers can not possibly get anything from far mers and are buying it in the primary markets, which is very unusual. This has put the cash price far above the July price in the northwest For eign supplies are only one-fourth what they formerly were and now as their needs are becoming more urgent they must buy heavily, no matter what the price is. Pardrfdge and the big bears will soon begin covering and there will be a rapid advance of not less than 10 cents in two or three days A buying wave has struck everything and all cereals have only fairly gotten under headway and much higher prices in everything will be recorded before next Saturday's closing. Corn, oats and provisions are only resting and will sure ly not be left behind in this advance. Shut your eyes and buy anything with safety. Open. High Low. Closa.

Carlisle to come down and do battle with him for the Kentucky senatorship on the issue of free coinage of silver. The secretary will probably be too wise to accept Notwithstanding the stupendous efforts being made by the Honest Money league to push their currency ideaB, the "silver craze" seems to be making more progress than the gold craze is doing, and is getting a foothold in the very home of the gold maniacs. What percentage of the earnings of the locomotive engineers of the country will go to pay the expenses of Chief Arthur's trip to Europe? His pay goes on while absent, When will the other "mem bers of the brotherhood take their European tour and will their pay go on just the same? But perhaps the fraternal sentiments of the B. of L. E. do not go to this extent. Whilb the friends of General Harri son are trying to launch his boom and McKluley is swinging around the circle Thomas Brackett Reed is sawing much wood and maintaining a discreet silence. When he does speak it will probably bo very much to the point. The next Re publican candidate must decide between the east and the west between the money kings and the people. He can't get both and there cannot be a compro mise with a good prospect for election. Evert important act of the present national administration has received the unqualified approval of the British. The tariff act was not all that they wished. but on the whole was very satisfactory. Then the bond issue and the accompany ing manipulation f the country's cur rency could not have pleased them better if they had had the entire management of it themselves. Now jthe Pall Mall Gazette says that nothing could be mere courteously correct than the attitude of the United States in the Nicaraguan affair. The attitude referred to appear s to be to allow England to do what she likes in the matter. The resolution regarding silver passed by the state league was very good as a hint to the platform makers and the candi dates of the next convention, bat there could have been no harm in making the matter plain. If we favor the unre- gtricted coinage of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio why not say so. If we favor the free coinage of the American product at that ratio why not say so. If we favor any other course toward silver we belong ia the gold bag camp and should join Mr. Dolliver'a followers and declare for a gold standard for that is what it means. There should be no equivocation or dodg ing or leaving of loopholes on this matter of ratio. It ia one of the most important features of the controversy, and is one of the strongest weapons to be used against the gold orazs. Free coinage of the American product would prove something of a disappointment to the friends of silver who believe in it to that extent but it would be an improvement over present conditions. It would ba especially ad vantageous to the owners of silver mines while unrestricted coinage would not. The cuckoo statesmen and newspapers are giving themselves much unnecessary trouble, in trying to prove the utter im possibility of maintaining silver at f 1.29 an ounce. Nobody has asked to have it maintained at that prica What the friend3 of silver ask is that that shall be fixed as its coinage value and it is im material to them what it is worth for use in the arts. That price was maintained for a hundred years, however, and there is no reason why it should not continue another century. There seems to be no difficulty whatever in keeping gold at a fixed value per ounce, though the dollars made from it are worth twice as much now as they were a tew years ago. Sec retary Morton says the law of supply and demand is the sole regulator of values. Very true; and when coagress cut of! the demand for silver by demonetizing it of course the value of tha metal was lowered and as by the same act the de mand for gold was increased, its value was increased. Not that it became worth any more per ounce, because tha price is fixed by law, but its value in ex change for commodities, including silver, was doubled. The whole country is ready to agree with Secretary Morton, and if the demand for silver is increased bv admitting it to coinage they have no doubt that the value will advance to $1.29 an ounce and stay there.

Mr.Atr, Ilia Wire, aad Ilia Mother Alt Had m Hand la the Kuildioe The threat Structure .Described, for the First Time. New York, April 22. When young Mr. and Mrs, John Jacob Astor return from this year's Newport season, they will drive from the railroad station di rect to their new home on upper Fifth avenue a home which will have cost $1,000,000, and which will probably be one of the most artistio dwellings in New York. And the day they step foot into their palace for the first time aa a home they will find it as completely es tablished and as well ordered as if they had been living there for years and years. There will be no odor of new paint, no unfurnished or half completed rooms, no awkwardness on the part of the servants, no hitch of any sort in that great house to indicate that it is brand new, and that the finishing touches within were completed only a few days before. This is part of the luxury of having one of tha largest pri vate fortunes in the world. When Mr. Astor first bade his archi tect build him a town house, he stipu lated $500,000 as the maximum cost. But- after the outer walls were up and the prooess of interior decoration began the architect, with the usual gracious condescension of his kind, notified Mr. Astor that more money would be need ed, for young Astor had said, "Make it the plainest house in town," and it so happens that the plainest is often the fcosc, and the best costs the most money. So another $100,000 was forthcoming and yet another and another, till today tho estimated cost will be fully $1, 000, 000. A Two Ton Bathtub. And yet of all the new and great palaces in the neighborhood this one of Astor's is the plainest. In style it ap pears to be of the French renaissance without the usual architectural "fix in's. Only a balcony or a window here and there has been carved, a general plainness characterizing all the outer walls. They are of Indiana limestone, entirely barren of trimmings. But with out and within everything seems dura- astor's new residence. bio and substantial without being heavy. The girders are all of iron, and Mr. Astor can keep an Iron safe in every room in that house without fear of too much fioor pressure. The heaviest sin gle pieae of furniture now in the house 13 young Mrs.- Astor's bathtub. "Made out of one solid block of marble, said my guide as he hit the tub a resound ing whack. "It weighs two tons, and it's one of the very few tubs of its kind in the country. Mr. Astor can enter the house by either of two different entrances that is, by the grand entrance on Fifth ave nue or by the stable, which is connected directly with the house on the Sixty fifth street side. It seems a queer thing for a man to enter his house in New York by way of his stable, but, all things considered, it is very probable that both Mr. and Mrs. Astor will enter their home most of the time by way of the stable. This arrangement has been made principally so that in bad weather a carriage can be driven directly into the carriage house, where the occupants can step out upon a marble doorstep and enter at once by a private stairway to the main house. I noticed that the door between the stable and the house is a massive iron door, such as one sees at the entrance of safe deposit vaults. Moreover, this door has a combination lock, probably for the additional safety of Mr. Astor's domestic hearth, the iron door being there to guard against fire and the combination lock to keep out burglars or tramps in search of a com fortable bed. But as this entrance will be reserved exclusively for the lord of the palace the visitor must necessarily enter by the main entrance on Fifth ave nue. If you are fortunate to bo provided with a permit from Mr. Astor, the vis itor of today, having passed tha watch ful guard at the door, will find himself immediately in the grand central hall, some 60 feet square. Running up one Bide of this hall is a rather narrow staircase, which, however is called the "grand staircase" leading to the second story. Both the staircase and the hall are of Caen stone, which is of a beautiful cream tint, brought from Caen, France, and which has been used of late by all American millionaires building new houses. White. Gold and Red. The hall and staircase are decorated with artistio carviDgs and full sized fe male figures in half length, the latter having been modeled from life by Mr. Carl Bitter. The panels between these figures will be filled in with beautiful tapestries wherein red will be the pre vailing color, so that the effect in the grand hall, and, in fact, in all the more public parts of the house, will be white and gold and red. Of course all the doors about the grand hall open into reception rooms, drawing rooms and dining rooms. I learned that workmen have been laboring upon each individual carved figure in the hall for six months, and a fair idea of the amount of the carved and cut stone Work already in position in the house may be obtained from the fact that 40 carvers, 200 cut ters, 100 polishers and 75 helpers, be sides many machines, have been em ployed constantly upon the work fox six months, and there is more to fol low. I must explain, however, that this new house of Mr. Astor's is in reality two houses a big one and a little one, though the little one is itself twice the Eize cf any ordinary city dwelling. In the main house on the corner young Mr. and Mrs. Astor will live, while in the other house Mrs. Astor, the queen of all New York society, will dwell. To the ordinary observer within daora the entire building appears to be only one house, for indeed there is no exact division mads other than that brought about by separat kitchens and sepa rate dining rooms. This arrangement has been made so that if necessary both Mrs. Astor and her daughter-in-law' can give dinner parties on the same Bight in the same house and yet be quite as much separated as if they were in two houses. After dinner, however, the guests of both hostesses can gather in the ballroom, which is also the picture gallery, a common meeting room on. formal occasions for all guests of the Astors. This picture gallery is indeed a noble apartment, though it is by no means as large as rooms of the same kind in oth er New York houses recently completed. It is only half as large as Mr. Vander bilt's new ballroom and not any larger than the ballrooms in the houses of Mr. erry, the late Mrs. Stevens or of Mr. Whitney, but if the ballroom is want ing in generosity of space it is by no means lacking in beauty. The prevail ing genius in the decoration of this room, as in other parts of the house, was Mr. Carl Bitter, whose eight cary atides of heroic size stand upon the cor nice 20 feet from the floor, supporting the massive and beautiful rotunda. The atlantes were modeled direct from life, the model being Sandow, so that Mr.' Astor will keep on view and perpetuate for years to come the massive figure, with all its swelling muscles and ten dons, of the strongest man of the cen tury. In this gallery will be hung the valuable collection of paintings owned by the Astors, which are even now be ing stripped from the walls of the old mansion on the corner of Thirty-fourth street, preparatory to their removal to the new palace. A balcony swung midway the 40 feet intervening between the floor and the ceiling will hold the musicians. From this balcony doors will open near the dining rooms of both houses, so that the guests of both the Mrs. Astors may be entertained at the same time by the same music. Mr. Astor, his wife and his mother have all given a great deal of personal attention to the details of this house, and it would seem that they have made every arrangement for a happy domes tic lifa After all, though, the two families, if you can call Mrs. Astor a family by herself, will seldom occupy the house at the same time, for the As tors are not in this country more than six months in the year, and a great part of that time is spent by the young Astors at their country place at Rhinebeck. Airs. Astor's Boudoir. We can ascend now to the upper floors for just a little peep into the per sonal apartments of the different mem bers of the family. The most admirably situated room is Mrs. John Jacob As tor's, which is on the corner, and is in deed an apartment large enough for a good deal of elbow room, for it is some SO feet square. There is a generous stretch of windows along two sides, from which the Astors can have inter esting views down the avenue or across the park. Adjoining her bedroom is an exquisite room of oval shape, which is to be her boudoir, and adjoining this is her bathroom, lined from floor to ceiling, and even including. the ceiling, with white marble and containing the two ton bath tub already mentioned. Following in direct communication with these rooms come the day nursery and the night nursery, with maids' rooms and nurses' rooms sandwiched in between, together with any number of bathrooms. It would seem as if ev ery man, woman and child in any way connected with the Astor establishment is to have a marble lined bathroom ail to his or her self. From this the prin cipal suit of rooms we step out into a corridor, looking down past any num ber of doors, as in the corridor of a ho tel. These rooms are, respectively, Mr. Astor's sleeping room and Mrs. Astor's private rooms and her petite salon, Mr. Astor's "den" and any number of guest chambers. If we ascend another pair of stairs to the third floor, we find ourselves in a room finished in carved oak, with book Bhelves round the walls, a heavy fire place on one side and a colossal divan on the other. This ia to be Mr. Astor's library and smoking room, where he and his guests can have their after din ner coffee and cigars, or where be can be alone during his hours of study. It will not be necessary for him to mount the Btairs to this library, for a good sized hydraulic elevator is already in operation to carry you from basement to roof. Accommodations For Guests. Before leaving the house, however, we mount to the fourth floor, which brings ua in the mansard roof, where the rooms are lighted by dormer win dows, and where are situated the serv ants' rooms, and one room in particu lar, which is designed to hold all the necessary apparatus for Mr. Astor's chemical and other scientific experi ments. There are also a playroom and schoolrooms for Mr. and Mrs. Astor's little boy and more guest chambers. When this house is completed, there will be accommodation for some 30 overnight guests. When again outside, we survey this white marble pile with a feeling of ad miration for tha young millionaire un der whose orders it has grown into be ing. He has been altogether unostenta tious and modest, and yet has used thor ough good taste throughout. The house is indeed a monumental pile, full worthy cf the first family, socially speaking, in Gotham of today. GlLSOS WIIXET&, ST bON'T ACCEPT miTATlON5. THE PHOCTER a GAMBLE CO, CI NTT.

Snyder Unable to AgrM on What is Due. A dispute over the plumbing in the Hamilton hall building is the cause of a case the trial of which was commenced in the district court late yesterday. A I Snyder Co., the plumbers are suing Dr. Hamilton to lecover about $500 on the contract which they claim is the bal ance due on tha contract price for the work, which was about $1,800. The case has been a rather bitter one, and even J. G. Waters, Snyder's attorney admitted to the jury that the two men used to wrangle every time they got to gether. Snyder and Hamilton appear to be unable to agree upon an interpreta tion of the contract, and ask Judge Hazen and the district court jury to set tle the matter. A H. Case is Dr. Ham ilton's attornev.

John Merkle, who was arrested in North Topeka two or three days ago, charged with insulting a woman, was very anxious to escape. He tried "per suading" the policeman with cigars and it failed. When he was brought to the police station he was very anxious to see the chief, but could only see him in the down stairs room where there were a lot of men. He. went to the chief and whispered mysteriously in his ear for several mo ments. Soon his hand sought the chief's and the chief turned away. A silver dollar dropped on the floor. The fellow had imagined that he. could square it with the chief for a dollar and be released. He was fined $15. The Johnsas-rbel Candy Cov Have put in the Harrison telephone 270.

ACCUSE BREIDENTHAL Charged With Maliciously CI osing a Bank at Highland. BREIDEKTHIL IHDIGSOT ABOUT IT. Says He Has Information That Shoull Tiot Be Published, in Relation to the Affair. The Troy Chief of this week contains the following about the state bank com missioner: -Last week, Bank Commissioner Breid enthal appeared at Highland, and, going into Joe Beeler's bank, ordered the doors closed, as he wanted to make an examination. Beeler replied that the doors could not be closed dur ing banking hours. Breidenthal then expressed his determination to close and lock the door, when Beeler notified him that if he did so he would knock the top of his head off. Consequently, Breid enthal bad to make the examination with the door open. "After completing if, he informed Beeler that he was not through with him yet, but that he would hear from him again. Soon after, the public had been given information from some source that caused a run of depositors upon the bank, and $14,000 was withdrawn in a short time. When the run had con tinued long enough to enable the depos itors to see that their money was on hand they became ashamed of themselves and the'deposits began to come back. We are not able to speak from knewledge. but it is believed that this movement was spite work growing out of certain recent lawsuits. A state officer who will permit himself to be used by a clique of a man's enemies to ruin him, deserves to be tired, and it cannot be done too quickly.'-' When asked about this story, Bank Commissioner Breidenthal said: "I do not care to say anything in regard to the affairs of the bank of Highland further than to say that in this case, as is the practice of this department. 1 have simply acted in accordance with the law and have protected the interests of the creditors without detriment to the own ers of the bank. The public should be satisfied with knowing that their inter ests are fully protected. The bank com missioner in the discharge of his duties becomes possessed of information which is not proper to give to the public. As to the statements contained in the article in the 'Chief,' I can only say that each and every statement is absolutely false in every particular and I am confident that when Mr. Beeler's attention is called to same he will promptly denounce them as false." GOLDEN GRAIN NOT GOOD. Some Seed Corn for Western Counties Causes a Lawsuit. The state board of railroad commis sioners have been notified that 4,300 bushels of seed corn which was sent to Pnillips county was not good corn for seed. This corn was purchased by the commissioners from Dr. L. A. Golden of Smith Center and he has been notified that he will be expected to make good the amount of money invested. The county commissioners of Phillips county propose to sue Dr. Golden for the purchase price of the corn if he does not voluntarily make the matter right Eternal vigilance is the price of liber ty. Also the price of success. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder holds supremacy against all competitors. PARTISAN MILITIA. Populist Companies Being Got Rid of For Republican Companies. The new state military board recently appointed by Governor Morrill has con cluded its first regular meeting at the state house. At the time of the legislative war, the members of a militia company from Clyde came to Topeka and were mus tered in as deputy sheriffs to help the Republicans. That company was imme diately mustered out of the national guard by the Populist officials. The Republican military board today ordered it mustered in again. The Populists near Governor Lewel ling'a home at Wichita organized a col ored militia company and made it a part of the national guard. It was decided by the board that thi9 company has not complied with all the provisions of the law and it was ordered mustered out Ex-Brigadier General W. H. Sears or ganized a cavalry company at Lawrence about a year ago and Governor Leweiling commissioned one of the privates, Fred A. Clark, as captain. The military board today ordered Clark's commission re voked, because the company did not elect him as required by law. The mem bers of the cavalry company are in trouble among themselves and the com pany will probably be disbanded. It is largely Populists. The colored company at Leavenworth known as the Garfield Rifles, mostly Republicans, which was ordered dis banded two years ago by Adjutant Gen eral Artz, now wants the state to furnish it with uniforms. Major General Hughes said today that the request would be complied with and the Garfield Rifles will be uniformed and furnished some additional guns but the company will not become a part of the regular guard. A new military company composed en tirely of veterans of the late war, all Republicans, was organized at Kansas City, Kansas, a few nights ago. The military board has decided to muster in this company as a part of the Kansas National guard. The Marion militia company turned out in response to Governor Lewelling's call at the time of the legislative war but tne memDers were in sympathy with the Republicans and a short time after the war was over, they too, were mustered out of the service. They will now be mustered in again. SHOULDN'T HATE DONE IT. Governor Morrill Paid Election Expen ses Out of Contingent Fund. The records In the state auditor's of fice reveal the fact that Governor Mor rill paid his private secretary, his sten ographer, clerk, and the expenses of his office in the Columbian building -during the thirty days he had his headquarters there before his inauguration, out of his contingent fund. One voucher on file in the auditor's office, No. 12,309. is for $65.75. This money was used for the following pur poses: Office supplies, fia80; table, $12.00; room rent, 30.80; telegraph tolls, $9.91. Voucher No. 13,514, on file in the au ditor', office, wag drawn, for 4108. 65 la favor of J. L. Bristow, for services from December 14, 1894, to January 15, 1895. There are other vouchers in the audit or's office which show that Governor Morrill paid his stenographer and other office help for the same period out of his contingent fund. It is considered questionable whether Governor Morriil had a right to draw money out of the state treasury to pay his individual expenses created while he was yet a private citizen. At any rate, it is a mistake that the governor will no doubt rectify when he examines the law on the subject WHAT THEY WILL COST. Amonnt of the Appropriation for Stat Buildings for Next Two Years. Assistant State Treasurer George Sew ard has figured out the amount of the appropriations made by the late legisla ture for publie buildings -and improve ments during the next two yeara. The total amount of these appropria tions is 430,779.75 and only a part of it is to be expended by the state board of public works, the rest is to be controlled by the state board of charities and the regents of the several institutions. The amount appropriated for the Atch ison Soldiers' Orphans' home is $91,8J0 to be expended by the board of public works. Beloit Industrial school for girls, sew ers $29,000, to be expended by the board of public works. Topeka state house completion $50,000 appropriation, available now, levy for 1898 and 1897, estim ited at $150,000, to be expended by the executive council.

THE COUPLE CAPTURED IH TOPEKA. Slarrlage Between IVople So Closely Related Prohibited by Missouri JUaws. Undersheriff James Good from Lex ington, Ma, arrived in Topeka this fore noon after the young elopers, Otto Bauerle and Amelia Bauerle who have been held here two days awaiting his ar rival. Otto Bauerle is the girl's uncle, al though he is only 23 years of age and she is just sixteen. Officer Good says there has been a strong attachment be tween them for a long time and the parents of each had done all they could to separate them. There being legal impediments to their marriage, Otto Bauerle and his niece eloped a week ago yesterday and the officers have been after them ever since. The sheriff from Lexington followed them in haste over land from their home to Odessa, and there they took a train to Kansas City. The sheriff lost them for several days in the big town, but finally found the place where they had registered as man and wife under an assumed name. They had left there last Tuesday. Having reason to believe that the elopers were headed towards Topeka, the sheriff telegraphed to Chief Wiikerson to look out for them, sending a minute description of them both. The chief located them Thursday afternoon at a hotel in North Topeka. The girl Amelia Bauerle is decidedly pretty and wears a neat blue dress. Her hair is black and her eyes blues. Her complexion is one that the average town girl might well envy. She has refused to talk to any of the officers except to answer questions, and then guardedly. At first she claimed that she and '"Otto" had been married at some town she did not remember the name of. Since then she has refused to say anything about it Otto Bauerle is less prepossessing than his niece, although he wears good clothes and has plenty of money. His father is wealthy. Bauerle admits that he is not married to the girl. He told Officer Good he was willing to go back to Lexington, since he is a prisoner, with out the formality of a requisition. Under Sheriff Good said to a Journal reporter today: "The father of Otto Bauerle is a saloon keeper and is considered wealthy. The girl's folks are poor. This is not the first time they have tried to elope, although their parents have tried to point out to them the impossibility of such a match. The girl being only sixteen years old young Bauerle is liable to go to the peni tentiary. The case is made more aggra vated bv the fact that they are so nearly related. He is a brother of the girl's father." Magnificent is the progress of Price's Baking Powder everywhere. No other powder can compare with it in popu larity, strength and purity. FENCING MASTER NOT IN IT With "Amorlta" liy a Better .Company At the Grand Last Night. Theater and opera companies have come to Topeka this year with flaming posters and a loud hurrah and great promises and have given very inferior performances. Last night a very good company came into Topeka without any claims to great ness and gave a very superior entertain ment indeed. "We are not the greatest people on earth," said Manager Murray, of the Calhoun Opera company, "but we be lieve we have a very good company just the same and Bing a good opera well," and the rather meager audience agreed with him. The fact that the company was new to Topeka accounts for the small audience, but it was happily disappointed. About 500 people were present. "Amorita" is a much better comic opera than the only other one Topeka has had this year, "The Fencing Mas ter", and it was better sung and put on by far. It is full of bright airs and pret ty costumes and showy scenic effects. Ko stronger or better soprano has been heard in Topeka this year, with the ex ception of Miss Yaw, than Miss Alice Beauvet, who sang Amorita, Miss Beauvet claims New York city as her home, and was educated for grand opera. Her musical education was received in Florence, the scene of the piece last night. Her solos were fine. One of the handsomest women Topeka has seen this season was Adele Farring ton, who sang Angelo, the young noble man in love with Amorita. Her picture has been displayed among the well known stage beauties, and was recently in Munsey's Magazine. The Fra Bombarda of George Lyding, the Castrucci of Fred Frear, the Per petua of Gertrude Lodge and the Spara canni of Edward Webb were all splendid, well acted and well sung. Edward Webb was here once before in the "Pearl of Pekin." The only serious blot on the evening was the resurrection of a few antiquated jokes by Mr. Frear. When the "Fencing Master" was here there was great dissatisfaction among the singers because the'houso wa3 hard to "filL" The company of last night had no such trouble. The chorus was no larger but it could, sing and understood its business. The dancing by the little colored boy was good.

Fcrnal Items or Interest About To pcita Peoulo and Visitors in Town. The delightful informal eveninga of the Topeka -club were resumed last evening. Mr. O. T. Boaz of Pittsburg, Kas., talked most entertainingly on "The Student at Heidelberg." Mr. Boaz's powers of description are remarkably line, and the beauty of imagery and thought in his charming talk were deeply appreciated by about ixiy delighted listeners. Mr. Boaz told of student life in detail, from his own experience, and his talk was replete with bright anecdote and in cident illustrative of student life. He spoke of the existing fallacies of belief regarding the duels at lleidslberg, and said they were much more harmless than generally supposed; "compared with loot bctll they are a- toy pistols to Krupp guns: ttiey are like the Kansas saloon, prohibited by law yet existing by suffer ance.'' Mr. Boaz advised tourists to arrive at Heidelberg in ihe full of the moon if pos sible and ius.ead of hiring a guide to hunt up the American students, who will show you the most interesting parts of the city. lie s.iid the average tourists' visits to Heidelbery reminded him of a man who said he went througu algebra in the night and did not see much of the place. Mr Bo iz iilsorfaid "during all the time I was at Heideibijrg I never sjw au in Btanca of brutal intoxication. Drunken ness is more disgraceful in Germany th.in it is in Kansas.

There is a hypnotist in Topeka who does not give public exhibitions. He is a dry goods clerk. Men profess to like women whom they call "nood fellows," and some of them say Trilby was a good fellow." That's something like the man who says he likes widows because they are more in teresting than girls; he chooses the widow for a friend, a confidant, a chum, but he takes for a wife, the girl whom he thinks he can mould. Men mav net be very sentimental, but they are wonder- I lui theorists. The best always wins. That explains the highest awards to Dr. Price's Baking Powder at Chicago and California Mid winter Fairs.

Women Who Mold Opinion Kate field on the Suffrage Crood Ioobo in Business Women Hook binders. Mrs. Kate Oougla "Wiggin is the sub ject of an entertaining article by Emma B. Kaufman in The Ladies' Home Jour nal. The writer says: It was in a crowd ed car in an unfashionable quarter of San Francisco that I first met Mrs. Wiggin. She got into the car and crowd ed it more because there were half a dozen small ragged children hanging about her, and they were calling her "Miss Kate," and she was smiling with very blue eyes at one, and she was talk ing with very red lips to another, and her cheeks were very pink even then, and her golden hair was all blown by the wind. She had on a little hat that was sur rounded by a wreath of red roses, and she had on a pretty dress that fitted her to perfection. It all struck me as being very incon gruous this pretty, fashionable lady who did not seem in the least to mind all these ragged children clinging to her and trampling on her dress, and the children, who did not seem to be in the least afraid of the lady's style or beauty. The car was full of poor people, who seemed to know her, too, for they smiled at her and made room for her in a way they had not done for ma Presently I discovered that the con ductor was a acquaintance, too, for sud- MRS. KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN. denly he stopped of his own accord and called out Silver street. Then there was a scampering and a scattering, and it flashed over me that the lady was Mrs. Wiggin of kindergarten fame. Let me say here that Mrs. Wiggin was the pioneer of free kindergarten work on the Pacific coast and the or ganizer of the Silver street school, the first free kindergarten established west of the Rocky mountains. Mrs. Wiggin was born in Philadel phia and educated in Andover, Mass., but Maine, where she declares she loves every stick and stone, claims her too. She spent many years of her childhood therein the small town of Hollis, where last year she purchased a house with the intention of passing her summer in un interrupted work. This residence is ap propriately known as Quillcote. It was the atmosphere of that region which lent color to those stories of hers about New England life and character, which have appeared in The Atlantio Monthly. For two years Mrs. Wiggin's winter home has been near New York at Bronx ville. There, the last time I saw her, she was acting in the capacity of cordon bleu, of musician and singer and poet ess and humorist and hostess. Women Who Mold Opinion. New York is so vast and wealthy a community that it seems impossible to satisfy the demand for talent of all sorts. The city itself does not appear to pro duce enough for its own wants and so draws from the outside world. There is a constant stream of bright, intelligent Women flowing into the metropolis, and yet there is always room for more. It is hard to keep a record of all who come, as most of them respond to engagements of which the public knows nothing. Of the many newcomers Miss Esther Singleton makes a specialty of literary and musical essays and novel entertain ments, in which poetry, song and the piano are components. She has a de lightful way of illustrating history, drama and verse with musical composi tions. Miss Louise Stockton is emphat ically a great literary teacher and mas ter. She makes books living beings and makes even the dullest realize the or ganic relation between literature and daily life Miss Beaston is an apostle of contemporaneous literature. She strives to induce women to read carefully American history, to understand what is going on around them and to master the great authorities in order to compre hend recurrent facts and questions. Miss Martina Johnstone is musio per sonified. She is a master of its art and science. She can at a glance determine the strength and weakness of any stu dent or amateur. Miss Mary Proctor makes astronomy nd mathematics simple and wonder fully fascinating. Miss Jessie H. Ban croft is the leader of physical culture, or muscular Christianity. In this field she finds the secret of health, beauty, grace, endurance and the power to work untiringly with either mind or body. Miss Field and Miss Yates are both fine oriental scholars. Miss Stephens is an authority on South American topics. These and many others are a power in the parlor as well as on the platform. They are leading their sisters upward into a higher and broader culture. Margherita Arlina Bamm in New York Mail and Express. Corsets and the New Woman.

Anthony con fessed in public that, although she had worn them for years, she did not ap prove of them, nor had she known a comfortable moment when incased in them. I am afraid Susan laced, laced tight. Of course she never knew a cpmfortable moment in them. Women with such swelling ambitions and bubbling emo tions could never be made comfortable in any known combination of bone and coutil. But one cannot help wondering why such a steong minded woman should submit to a bondage she did not approve of, when the throwing off of shackles is just in her line. In the olden times corsets were call ed "stays," and it was the work of two women to incase one waist. After the rear lacing was effected a kid covered copper board was inserted between the tortured flesh and the stay. Manifestly a woman stayed in the machine after once getting into it. But we have im proved on aril that, aud now that the photographers have pronounced the throat and the flesh tints of Rachel Fos ter Avery the most beautiful that ever came under the camera, all the women will approve of reform dress. Woman's first duty is to be beautiful, or at least just as beautiful as her own physical limitations will admit of. From the corset to the revision of the Bible is a far cry, but none too far for the audacity of woman. The new woman is a restless creature, who, having slipped the old moorings, is grasping out wildly in every direction for fresh anchorage. When, however, she undertakes to revise the Bible be cause some of the present translations do her sex full justice, she is stepping into the realm of impiousness. Jean nette H. Walworth. Kate Field on the Suffrage. Sixteen months ago, on the platform of the World's fair congresses in Chi cago, I stated that, never having be lieved in universal suffrage unallied to universal intelligence and honesty, I had never publicly advocated woman suffrage. Logically I have always be lieved that women had as much right to the ballot as men.: I denied the right to both sexes. I have always claimed that suffrage is a privilege and should be granted as a reward of merit regardless of sex. If woman suffrage leaders bad taken the same ground, I would have joined them long ago. I was convinced that whenever a ma jority of American women wanted the ballot they would get it. I never met a man who did not assent to this convic tion and who did not second my asser tion that the worst opponents to female suffrage are women themselves. Why, then, did I experience a change of heart in Chicago? Because I had be gun to look into our naturalization laws and was terrified at facts. Because I discovered that the new states were in the hands of aliens, not citizens of the United States. Because I saw that fe male immigration was much less than male immigration; that a large major ity of female voters would be American born, and that the sooner the forces of anarchy and rebellion were met by the conservators of home and law the better for the country. I heard the threatenings of riot that broke out a year later, and it seemed to me time for women to come to the fore. What I thought 16 months ago I firm ly believe now. Good Tjooks In Business. Here is a little story .which seems to Indicate that the pretty girl's business prospects are hampered by her pretti ness: The secretary of a large eastern insur ance company decided a short time since that it would be better for his office work to introduce half a dozen or more women as typewriters, operators and as sistant bookkeepers. He had noted that of the feminine employees in his office I the pretty ones were the least effective l and attracted the most attention, to the I detriment of the work of the other clerks. So he decided to engage only Women who were of mature years and experienced in office work. First he ad vertised, stating that applicants should give age and number of years' experi ence. He did not succeed in getting a single satisfactory reply. Then he went to a well known business college aud told the manager that he did not sup- pose he would have any trouble' in aid ing him, as he did not want a young or j attractive lookiug woman. The manager listened to him while he explained his wants, and then, goh-g to a desk, took out a file of letters, with a smile, and laid them before his visitor. There were upward of half a hundred applications from banks and commer cial institutions, and every one of them, without a single exception, asked for a woman of mature age. The manager Baid that it was absolutely impossiblo to Bupply the demand for employees of the description that business men now de manded, but he had rafts of pretty girls at all times who were applicants. Women Bookbinders. Amateur bookbinding is a new species of employment suggested to those who are weary of fancy work. It was recom mended by a physician as an employ, tuent that would occupy the patient's mind without overtaxing her strength. The girl describes her work as follows: "I have had several pupils and have found them nearly all fully as enthusi astic on the subject as I am myself. We are always on the lookout now for suit able books to put into pretty covers. The old Tauchnitz editions have been unearthed and made beautiful forever, or at least for a much longer time than if they had fallen into the cheap bind er's hands. My binding is done in a simple fashion, in my own morning room, with no tools save a sharp pen j knife, a steel foot rule and a wooden T square. "If there is no linen press available, I must add to this short list a press of some kind, though 1 have seen one or two very presentable books that have had no pressure but that arrived nt through dumbbells, flatirons, etc. A good strong press, however, is really necessary. If it is important to reduce the expenditure as much as possible, it is easy to pick up a secondhand iron press, such as is used in copying letters.' There is always endless work to he found in making tidy volumes of our music and magazines and in renovating, the books on our shelves. Of course ono could not expect, without years of ex perience, plenty of appliances and prob ably special aptitude, to turn out such specimens as an expert workman." Our Home. Fashion Bints From Newport. Crepon, ribbons, lace and fine, dainty, fluffy lingerie are the fancies for spring and summer gowns. Chiffon holds its own well in spite of its long popularity.. The mixture of thin and thick goods in one costume continues. A pretty gown was of a green and black wool of a wiry quality. This material made the full plain skirt and the large sleeves. The waist was of green silk covered with black accordion plaited chiffon. Down the edge of every plait were fine steel beads. The collar was of green chiffon. The effect of the waist covered lengthwise, with strings of the steel beads, was bewildering, as the plaits fell together and apart with every move ment of the wearer. The chiffon had the fashionable blouse length and hung over the skirt at the waist lina Accordion plaited chiffon, used for vests sometimes, has on every fifth plait an edge of narrow Valenciennes lace. This is the favorite lace of the season. The box plait is to be a decided feature of summer fashions as it was of the winter, and the same sagging effect is seen on the front of waists, but the backs are made flat and trig, except for very slender women. The box plait in the middle of the bodice in front is often edged with a graduated ruffle of the waist material. This is very narrow at the belt and reaches its widest point on the shoulders, where it goes over, tha i sleeves rever fashion. New-port New.

Mrs. Martha Deraain, known before marriage as Martha Sprigg, tvas 6 feet in height, had feet that required broad sevens to ehod them, moved the atmosphere like a hurricane as she swept out of the drawing x room of the old country house at Henley and had a voice that oxtuld not whisper words of love it was a loud, powerful voice, like an auctioneer's. "She's a fine woman, Isn't she?" re marked her husband, lighting a cigar be tween the assertion and the question, and then puffing contentedly, as he gazed In reverie across the richly hued rug and the new fangled tiled hearth into the fire. "Yes, ye-s-s! She is a fine woman," I answered, scarcely able to repress a laugh. She was altogether too fine for me, and I was amazed that Frank, who was a pretty man, fair, petite, with an aristocratio face and a languid manner, should ally himself for life to such a looking woman. "She's taken complete possession of me," murmured Frank. "I'm like a good boy I never go anywhere without her -and I like the bondage," he added tender ly, "because I love her." "Where did you meet her?" I asked, noting the touch of real feeling in his voice. (I had been away ranching in Amer ica for a couple of years and did not know the story of his courtship. "Oh, in the most ordinary way, he said, deftly making a smoke ring over the end of his nose. "I was paired to play with her in a golf match on the Peak Links. She was quite a stranger visitor at Buxton. All I knew about her was that her people were from Manchester; her fa ther was in calico prints. She strode and drove like an amazon. She alternately terrified and amused me. The caddies, when we stood at the tee, could not kep their impudent faces straight at our dis proportion. Martha or, as I addressed her at the time, Miss Sprigg has a sense of the grotesque, too, and as I struggled over the rough ground and foozled the drive at the third hole she gave a sonorous chuckle indicative of suppressed amuse ment, and I hatid her." "What!" I ejaculated in surprise. "I detested her, he continued. "Tier skill with the driver, her towering form, deep voice and superiority of manner made me feel so mean and small. Little did I think that I was destined to worship her." "It must have been a 6harp conversion, I ha zarded. "It was," he replied, "a sharp and dramatic conversion. The ground, as you know, is strangely riven in the Peak. Near the far hole the golf coursa was bro ken by a stream. A bridge had been flung across the brook for the-use of the players, but unfortunately my cleek stroke did not clear it. The ball fell short and rolled into the water. It was a picturesque river, flowing through the limestone formation, and it was made up of such swift erratic currents that to recover the ball needed sharp work of eye and hand. I was savage -and reckless, and in rashly endeavoring to net the ball overbalanced and plunged with a sharp cry iuto the current. 'E's tumbled i't' mine run,' shouted the caddie in dismay and whirled his arms about like a maniac. "Meanwhile, struggle as I might, tho brook, which appeared insignificant when viewed from the bank, carried 1110 rapidly away from help. The limestone banks grew higher. I Raw the golfers gesticulat ing above me, but they were unable to give me succor. The water was icy, and I no longer wondered how it was possible to petrify. I was becoming petrified myself, except in mind. My brain was in a tu mult of fear, for now the stream, bearing me on its dark bosom, had entered a strange subterranean gulf, tho walls of which were here black as Erebus, there dazzling with spar or gleaming with lead vein. The air was clammy and yet stifling. A fetid mist hovered on the breast of tho underground stream, and beyond in tho recesses of the cave was the surge and roar of water as if it was descending into some abyss." You're romancing a bit, aren't you?" I asked incredulously. "Xo," he gravely asserted, fihudderin" at the remembranco of his peril. "Ti e cave's there yet so is tho insidious brook. In the interior of the cavern the stream grew in volume and power, and it whirled me onward in its arctic grasp to wlint seemed speedy death. The darkness v;is for a few momenta chaotic. Then I no ticed to the left a shaft of light and a gray crag standing, like the King rock at 1'ia.m bro, out of the foam and spray the rushing torrent made. "You caught hold of the stone pinnacle and were rescued," I blurted out, rudely anticipating the climax. "Oh, no," he said, "benumbed with cold, I failed to grasp it,, and theu I swooned." "My stars, this is gejtting exciting," I burst out. "However did you escape?" "I could not escape Martha saved me," he 6aid gently. "Never!" I retorted, in amazement. "Oh, yes, she did and that's why I married her," he continued, after a few tantalizing puffs as a lesson in patience. "But, how ever did she manage it to rescue you, not to marry you?" "Oh, with comparative ease, and yet with splendid daring. She knew the coun try and the curve of the stream. When she hcard'the caddie's cry, she crossed tho links swiftly, seized a coil of rope at tho lead miner's hut and climbed down the chasm till she reached the purfaee of the brook. At this point the stream had emerged from the cavo and was flowing through- the Devil's ravine, a grewsoine place, assoeiatod with many a dark detd S and strange tradition. Here, gaining per i ilous hand grasp and foothold, she crept, face downward, on the narrow ledpe that jutttd from the limestone crag and waited in suspense. She had not long to wait. A powerless, helph'ss thing, I was swept to; ward her on the torrent's breast, and she dragged me, with magnificent strength, upon the ledge- Then, amid the fierce gwish of water, and the toss of spray, she placed the rope around me, lied it securely to the sinking rope the mine master's gang had thrown down, and I was drawn to the brink of the cliff, Martha following, step by step at every pull, to steady my uncon scious form. "What a splendid woman!" I exclaimed, with genuine admiration. "Yes," he said, "it was not difficult to love her after tiat, but there's one queer thing about her." "What is it?" I asked, mystified, though I noticed a humorous pucker about the cor ner of his mouth. "When I asked her to marry me, she laughed and said she would, but only on one condition." 'WelL" I said Impatiently, "What was the condition f" "That we shonld be married in a chaper. She had already read the Church of Eng land service for the solemnizatior. of mat rimony and was prepared to love and cher ish me, but said she coald not obey man 1' Million.

STATE JOTTRNAIi, SATURDAY EVENING APRIL, 2T, 1895. ;5 THE G0EY 0 CS' O FOR TOE DLGGD. TO BE 300 HERE. A Great Congressional Meeting in Topeka Next Week, Next week will be an important one to Kansas CongregationalUta. The general association of aii the churches in Kansas will meet at Topeka, and bring to the city between three and four hundred ministers and laymen. As the sect name implies, every Con gregational church is a republic within itself, and no superior eccreaiastical body has any jurisdiction over it. The general association can do nothing more than ad vise, but general church matters relative to appropriations and missionary affairs make the meeting of considerable im portance. Addresses will be deliv ered by leading Congregationalists of Kansas, among them Governor E. N. Morrill, Rev. Dr. Cordley of Lawrence, Rev. Dr. Dougherty of Kansas City, and Rev. Dr. Boss of Leavenworch. The as sociation begins next Thursday and con tinues until the following Monday. The two days prior to the general association will be devoted to meetings of the women Congregationalists. The entertainment of all the visitors and guests is a matter that has worried the church workers greatly, but they have met with a liberal response that in sures a place for each of them. Mem bers of the three Topeka churches of that denomination will entertain all of the guests. TO SLHHEll IN EUROPE. Flan tf"Trip of Mr. and Mrs. Bowman and Mr. and Mrs. Popenoe. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Bowman and Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Popenoe will spend the coming summer in Europe. Mr. and Mrs. PoDenoe leave in a few days for New York. They will f spend somo time in New York, and then go to Boston, where they will be joined by Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, and on June 22 the party, accompanied by Mrs. Anna O. Downs of Boston, will sail from Mon treal on the Bteamship Parisian for Liver pool. They will visit Chester, Warwick, Stratford and other points in England, and then spend a week or two in London, ofter which they will go to Scotland. When the party leaves Scotland they will go to Paris, and then to Germany. Mr. Bowman and the rest of the party go simply for recreation. WM. HIGGINS TO C031E BACK The Ex-Boss Will Keturn to X.ive. to Topeka Ex-Secretary of State William Higgins is coming back to Topeka to live. Though he has claimed Topeka as his home, his family has been living in Kan sas City, Mo., for nearly two years, and now they will return to Topeka aud after July 1 will occupy their home at 1265 Van Buren street. It is understood that Mr. Higgins will give up his business in Kansas City and will spend the greater portion of his time in Topeka, but what he intends to do here is not known. There are whispers about Mr. Higgins coming back to Kansas with the intention of re-entering politics, but the report can not be verified. Competitors of Dr. Price's Baking Powder are growing weary trying to equal it. Their labors are vain. DISTRICT C6URT NOTES. The Graham Paper Co. begun suit today to recover $2,055, from the Com monwealth publishing company and the Kansas Newspaper Union, which it claims is long overdue, on three promis sory notes. B. F.

The Evldrnes All Id ana the Investi gation Adjourns Until Slav 16th. A most careful observer could not have detected the least shadow of embarrass ment in the manner of Senator William Rogers on the stand testifying in his own behalf yesterday afternoon. While ia the witness chair Senator Rogers was most easy in his manner and conversation. He wore his customary gray coat buttoned at the top button, his darker vest and trousers, a "turndown" collar and a black tie. He is a large man and fairly filled the chair. His iron gray moustache and imperial did not quite hide his smiling mouth a.nd hia light eyes expressed no fear. His gray thin hair was carefully combed and at least one of his broad toed shoes was often in evidence as he frequently threw o,ne leg across the other at the knee. In his hands he held a brown silk handkerchief which he twisted and un twisted among the rather pudgy fingers of his left hand in a manner you might be inclined to call nervous. His always florid face was florid still and his something better than two hun dred pounds had not been diminished by the "wear and tear" he had been sub jected to in hearing himself discussed in a very bad light. He talked freely and seemed rather anxious to testify than otherwise. He was not in the least confused on cross examination and Mr. Overmyer, for the prosecution, did not make any decided attempt to upset him. Mr. Rogers denied every charge that had been laid against him. He denied that he had ever drank to excess and that he had ever been seen'too drunk to walk straight. He was jovial throughout and there was joking that he joined in as hearaly as anyone, even when it was against him. In speaking of the fishing incident, he remarked that the fish did not bite well at the hooks. "They don't generally, do they," said Mr. Overmyer, ''when there is a keg along?" Well, I don t think that makes much difference to the fish," responded Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers told about his sickness dur ing the session of the legislature. How his lungs hurt so he could not speak out loud, and how he once had Senator Lan dis do his talking while he told him what to say; how he went home sick and how the doctor told him he must take more whisky and quinine. After that he kept a bottle at his boarding house and took it three times a day. "I never kept whisky or beer in my committee room in all the years 1 have been chairman of the ways and means committee," he said: "along towards the last of the session the Modocs were in the chamber a good deal and in my com mittee room, and two or three times when it came time to take my medicine I drank out of their bottle because mine wasn't there." In speaking of the Cremerie incident he said that he was not intoxicated, but simply full of joy that his work was done. In regard to the Baker banquet at Leavenworth, he said that he did not drink any whisky whatever coming home on the train the next day. It was at about this time that Mr. Thacher closed the examination for the defense with the remark, "1 believe that is ail, isn't it?" "I don't know," said Mr. Rogers, smil ing, '"whether that covers all my drunks or not." "Well," said Mr. Overmyer, "if you can think of any more to tell about I am perfectly willing you should." "I'll tell you how it is, gentlemen," continued Mr. Rogers. "I have never drank whiskv or beer as a beverage in my life." He was then turned over to Mr. Over myer for cross-examination. "Have you ever been intoxicated?" was the first question he asked, and Mr. Rogers replied, "No, I never have." And then he continued: "Always with in the last three years I have kept whisky iu my house. One gallon has lasted me for eighteen months, and 'one quart lasted me all summer the same quart" "To ripen, I suppose," remarked Mr Overmyer, dryly. "I believe it gets better, don't it?" re plied Mr. Rogers, and there was laugh ter. Mr. Overmyer then asked the witness if he had made the profane remarks about the church a former witness had attributed to him. "No, sir; 1 did not," replied Mr. Rog ers. "I did not use any profanity at all in connection with the church. I did not say that religion was a far3e. I did say that churcuology was a farce and that Christianity was now past superstition. I referred more particularly to the doc trines of evolution, on which I am a crank." "Do you deny that you ever had to i have a man take you home in our wagon from Bjrnes because you were too intox icated to manage your team yourself?" "I da It is an absolute lie." "And that you staggered on the streets of Barnes?" "Yes, sir; both of them are absolute lies," aud Mr. Rogers straightened up in his chair and shook his fist in the air." "You also deny that you were intox icated at either the Cremerie restaurant, the Chesterfield hotel of at Lawrence?" "I certainly da They are all lies." Mr. Rogers admitted that at one time he drank two or three glasses of beer at the Byram hotel bar at Atchison, "but," ne aaaea, "you Know they have very small glasses tor beer there" That's something I am not posted on," said Air. Uverrrrjer, and the spectators laughed. "What," exclaimed Mr. Rogers in sur prise, "weren't you ever there?" "Well,'' replied Mr. Overmyer medi tatively, "I've been there, but I didn't take quite that sort of stuff," and the on lookers laughed again. Two or three inconsequential witnesses from Mr. Rogers' neighborhood who had been delayed were then examined and testified to Mr. Rogers' universal sobrie ty so far as they knew and the famous Rogers investigation closed so far as evi dence was concerned. The investigation was virtually com pleted by 4:30 o'clock and nearly three weeks will be allowed the stanocracher to transcribe the testimony, and the ar -guments of the lawyers will be heard on May 10th. MR. DOLLIVER'S COUSIN. The Noted Orator Visited Mrs. L. E Holmes in This City. Congressman J. P. Dolliver of Iowa, who made the big speech before the Re publican league convention, while in To peka visited Mrs. L. E. Holmes at 1119 Van Buren street, who is his cousin.

The well is forty-eight feet in diameter and extends sixteen and a half feet below the water line of the river. Its capacity is 2,500,000 gallons a day. The. filtering process, which the water goes through, is only the natural one through the sand, but the results are said to be so satisfactory that so small an ob ject as a silver dollar can be clearly dis tinguished at the bottom of the well when it is full of water. The well has resulted, it is stated, in an increase of the pressure, the increase being ten pounds at the average domestic hydrant A new engine of 5,000,000 gallons ca pacity per day has been ordered to take the place of the 4,000,000 engine.' and word has been received that it will be shipped May 1. This improvement will very materially better the Topeka water service. It needs it. If the waterworks company will now go on and fulfill its contract to supply the city with extra hydrants the city may think better of it. SOUTH TOPEKA.

DEBS CANNOT COME NOW. The Labor Leader Will Not Visit Topeka Soon A Letter From Him. Although it was promised that he would soon be here and address the rail road men it now seems impossible for Eugene V. Debs, the labor leader and president of the American Railway union, to address a Topeka audience for a timo. His trial in the United States courts for interfering with the mails during the great strike of last summer is in the way. An effort will be made by his Topeka friends to have him speak in Topeka on next Labor day. He has written a letter expressing his regrets to Harry Chapman, secretary of the union here. It is printed in full be low and was dated from Terre Haute. It reads: "Dear Sir and Brother: Your, favors of the 18th to Brother Benedict and my -self have been duly received and I take pleasure in replying to both. I shall not be able to make any dates at present on account of the continuance of our conspiracy trials at Chicago in a few days. How long these trials will last no one knows and until they are concluded we cannot make any engagements to visit local unions. We have organizers in the field, however, to push forward the work with unabated vigor. "I note with pleasure that you will do nnnn nr "ir Foundry flachine Works, ESTABLISHED 1875.
