WEDNESDAY EVENING. MA.Y 15. SEND THEMTO KANSAS Bones of Two of John Brown's Men Have No Keating Placs. New Yobk, May 15. Within a short time the two graves in the old Eagles wood grove in Perth Amboy will be dug up, and among other remains those of two of the followers of John Brown, who were hanged at Harper's Ferry, will be disinterred. The reason for this is that the soil of the graves ia valuable clay, aud Calvin Pardee, the proprietor of the terra fobtf a and 'til works near by and owner of 'the property, wishes the clay for use in the factory. Pardee has been at some'pains to trace the families of the two John Br6wn- men, and has communi cated" with them aS to the disposition of the bones,' hut the surviving relatives of each say that they are financially unable to give the remains a fitting interment, so, unless 'somebody comes forward to take "charge' of' them, they may be de stroyed, it is said, or carted away. The 'ground in which the bones have lain undisturbed for more than thirty five years was formerly the property of March's' Spring and his wife Kebecca and "part of their' beautiful estata of Eagleswdod. The' Springs, particularly Mrs. Spring, were ardent' abolitionists, and when the feeling' against' the abolitionists was so bitter Eagleswood was kept guarded by the servants lest the wilder element of the neighborhood should carry out frequent threats to raid it and burn the house. In spite at threats and unpopu larity the Springs kept up the interest in the cause, and when the sentence of death was passed upon John Brown and his band Mrs. Spring set out for Harper's Ferry with the intention of taking charge of the bodies of any of the executed men whose friends" did not come forward to claim their remains. Two of the bodies, those of A, G. Haz litt and A. D. Stevens, were unclaimed. Mrs. Spring took charge of them and at her o.wu. expense. had them taken to Eagleswood. for burial. "When the news of their action reached Perth Amboy the old city turned out en masse to meet the bodies at the train. The feeling on the slavery question had changed utterly, and he would have been a foolhardy man who at that day had dared speak a word -against the abolitionists. When the two bodies, each draped in an Amer ican flag, were taken from the cars, an immense crowd had gathered, with heads bowed.- Twelve of the most prominent residents of the city acted as pallbear ers. The State Journal suggests that the G. A. R. posts of Topeka take immediate action ia the above matter and that the remains of these two heroes, A. Q. llaz litt and A. D. Stevens who died for the grand principle of the abolition of slav ery, be brought to Topeka and buried in the cemetery here with appropriate cer emonies. There is an opportunity to off set in some degree the dedication of a confederate monument at Chicago on Decoration day by the burial of these John Brown men in Topeka on that day. No more appropriate soil than that of Kansas could be found for the interment of the bones of these patriots. We hope that the G. A. R. posts here will take action in the matter. They seem to be the most suitable bodies to take charge. No doubt the money to defray expenses of burial can be raised here by popular subscription, or the contribution of a few pennies each by the school children. TRAMP WON'T PROSECUTE. He Exonerates the Alan Who Accidentally Shot III in. Fort Scott, Kan., May 15. Thomas Henry, the tramp who was accidentally shot by Santa Fe Commercial Agent R. B. Lnther of Kansas City at Ash Grove last Friday, today made an affidavit ex onerating Mr. Luther from all blame and averring that he will not appear against him at the trial, even if he is physically able. Mr. Luther was out hunting and shot a label on a box car. Eight tramps were in the car and the ball penetrated the side and entered Henry's abdomen caus ing a serious if not fatal wound. The other tramps fled. A URUTAL HUSBAND. Judge llazen Decides Andrew Jack's Divorce Suit in Bis Wife's Favor. Judge Hazen today granted Annie Jack a divorce from Andrew Jack. The husband was the one who applied for the divorce, but Judge Hazen after hearing all the evidence in the case decided that the wife was the one who was entitled to the decree, and he eo ordered; also giving her judg ment against Jack in the sum of $500. The evidence showed that Jack mar ried the girl when she was only 17 years of age in order to escape the pen itentiary. It is said that he took his bride from the probate court to the front door of the court house, kicked her down the steps, and has had nothing to do with her since. The Social Purity league heard of the case and engaged M. T. Campbell to defend the girl. Mrs. Jack is pretty, but her husband is not He is the son of a former lopeka livery man, and the $500 judgment is said to be of no value at present. WATERWORKS MOTIONS.

NON-PARTISAN POLICY. Men Will Not be Asked to Break Party Lines. Will Also be No Assault on the East Salt Lake, Utah, May 15. Last night's and this morning's trains brought in a large number of delegates to the silver convention, which convenes in the Mor mon tabernacle today. Delegates are present from seventeen states and terri tories. California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, "Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah have full delegations, and there are large numbers of silver men from surrounding regions, Montana being especially strong in representation. Ihere will be an organ recital at the tabernacle and two speeches by se lected orators whose names- are not yet announced. The pro gramme lasts three days and provides for two sesaions daily, morning and afternoon, aud an entertainment in. the eveuiug with speaking. The con ference closes with a banquet Friday night The policy outlined by prominent members of the convention for its work is to make the movement non -partisan. The purpose is to encourage men to work in the silver cause without asking them to break any party lines. It is to be a unanimous movement for silver In dependent of politics. It will not be pn assault of the west upon the east, but an invitation for the masses of the eastern people to come to gether on a reasoning basis and to give relief to the west by doing the silver in dustry justice. A procession formed at Knutsford hotel, headed by a platoon of police, and drove through the principal streets, reaching the tabernacle about noon. The couvention was called to order by Gov. Rickards of Montana, and addresses of welcome were delivered by Gov. West and Mayor Baskin. THE DEFENSE BEGUN. J. It. Burton Outlines the Case In the Os- bon Trial. La whence, May 15. Clinton C. Oabon killed Charles B, Hamble while in a fit of temporary insanity so say his attor neys. The prosecution, however, does not admit this assertion. The claim has been made also that the father of the defendant is in an insane asylum, but there seems to be some doubt as to this assertion. It is true that Clinton C. Osbon's son died a short time ago in the Topeka asylum. The prosecution this time comes forward with the claim that it can be proven that the young man's insanity was not of an hereditary character but from an entirely different cause. This will be brought out in the trial when 'the defense offers the case in evvidence. It created no little surprise when the state rested after calling only fourteen witnesses. The evidence thus far has gone to show that the murder was premeditated by the defendant, as he had lurked around in the woods in search or Charles Hamble for two days. The character of the daughter has not been assailed yet, except as it has been by the language of her father aa given by the witnesses lor tne state. When the defendant met Hamble he accused him of having ruined his daugh ter. Should the defense bring up the subject the prosecution will introduce evidence which will tend to substantiate the rumors. The ladies of the Social Purity league stoutly maintain that Miss E9telle Osbon is perfectly straight John Hamble was put upon the stand. He and the deceased were riding home together on the evening of June 14, 1894 Arriving at a turn in the road, they were halted by Clinton C. Osbon. The following is John Hamble'a statement as given to the jury: "We started home together about 6 o'clock. When we got to a turn in the road we met a team and the horses scared. Charlie dismounted and I fell off my bicycle." "State to the jury just what happened after that," said Joseph Waters. "The first I heard was when Osbon halted us. He said: You I've got you right where I want you and I'm going to blow your brains out You ruined my daughter and I'm going to kill you (oath).' At three dif forent times he pointed the gun at me. I was standing between him and Charlie. I stepped aside. "Charlie pulled his coat back to show Osbon that he was unarmed and told him that he would go with him down to Dr. Germain's office, but that he would die in his tracks before he would go down in front of the gun. Then Osbon fired at Charlie and he fell and gasped a couple of times and died. Osbon pointed the gun at me then, and said: 'I'll just shoot you in your tracks.' John Hamble is a lawyer, and was a very good witness. Hi expressions were clear cut and to the point, and, although it was evident that he was under a great nervous excitement, he bore up very welL While he was testifying Miss Estelle Osbon gave way to her emotions and wept bitterly. Her mother was unmoved Thus far during the trial she has assumed a stern facial expression. She did not flinch when the terrible oaths of her husband were repeated in court Clinton C Osbon sits quietly behind his attorneys and chews tobacco freely. His.. face has an extremely degraded look. Doctor D. R. Pelton of Topeka is a witness- in the case. He sits near Miss Estelle and patiently awaits his turn. Many in tho court room thought he was related to the Osbons as he and Miss Es telle resemble each other some. J. C. Weiss is a blacksmith in Holton. His testimony was rather dry but was necessary. S. G. Black, who was city marshal of Holton, and his assistant, Edward Jones, arrested Oabon immediately after the murder. Thsy took the gun away from him and also a small 22 caliber revolver. They each told what they knew of the case. William Reasoner, a deputy sheriff, who afterward took charge of the mur derer, testified. He and Mr. Burton made it interesting for the court audience for a while. D. P. Gray, a hardware merchant at Holton, loaded a couple of shotgun shells for Osbon on the afternoon of June 14 Oabon told him he wanted a couple of shells loaded with buckshot, as he was going to shoot an old dog which had been ground his house. The shells that Mr. Gray loaded were the ones used by the defendant to kill Chas. Hamble. Mr. Burton made some objections to some of the questions put by Joseph Wat ers. The latter, in his characteristic style retorted by requesting Mr. Burton to direct his objections to the court and not to him. This rather threw the lawyer from Abilene off his guard and the court laughed heartily at him. John Harmon was a witness to the tragedy and he told the story of it ia a very thorough manner. After relat ing about the first meeting, he said: "When Osbon accused Charlie of ruining his daughter, Charlie told him that ho was innocent and that he could prove it. Then John (Hamble) told Os bon that if his brother was guilty of the charge he would see that matters wero settled in a proper manner." Mrs. John Dimm doesn't feel the moat kindly toward Mr. Burton for he ques tioned her in a very sarcastic way and she resented it You were excited, were you not?" asked Mr. Burton. Well, I think you would have been, too, under the circumstances," snapped the lady. "Certainly, I should have beeu, madam," was the gallant reply. The trial ha3 attracted a large number of spectators. When it is time to open the doors for the afternoon session there is a large crowd in waiting. When the court-Clerk opens the door there is a mighty rush and the room fills up to overflowing in less than a miuute. Tho accommodations are rather poor for such a big. case, but those in charge try to make up every deficiency. The general opinion seems to be that c first class jury has been secured. In a speech of an hour this morning, 3. R. Burton outlined the defense. All facts of the killing were admitted and the defense outlined that it would intro duce evidence to prov the insanity of the defendant The first witness called was Mrs. Osbon and her evidence was along the line indicated by Burton. Mrs. Osbon was very nervous and broke down several times and wept Her testimony was sensational. She said the defendant had acted insanely on several times prior to the murder. When Estelle became sick, witness discovered that she had been ruined. Eitelle told her moth er her condition and said that Hamble had turned her away. In regard to this, witness said: "When I told my husband the worst he said: 'Oh, God!' and gave me a blank stare. Mr. Kenoyer told me that Hamble had not treated Eitelle right and that de ceased had done enough to the girl to damn any man." Cross examination by Mr. Waters mixed the witness considerably. Coun sel asked if Estelle had ever been in New Orleans or Louisiana Witness said not It is understood that the prose cution will bring testimony to impeach her character. The witness evaded the question about her daughter. Doctors Eastman, Pelton and Peers of Topeka will testiy. Mrs. Osbon is con sidered the strongest witness for the de fense, but her testimony is considered somewhat indefinite. Estelle -will probably not be put on the stand. Clint C. Osbon for the first time during the trial seemed moved by the testimony, and laid his head on tLo table. He trembled like a leaf. THURSTON IS UPHELD. The Hawaiian Government Apswerstbe Charges Against Him. San Francisco, May 15. The steamer Australia from Honolulu, May 8 arrived today with the following: Minister Hatch has handed Min ister Willis his answer in regard to the recall of Ihurston which will go forward by this mail. It is a lengthy document and makes a general denial of the charges against the Hawaiian minister. The latter's course is upheld in every par ticular. Gresham is informed that Thurston will not be returned to Wash ington, but the letter does not name his successor. LETTER FOR EDDIE PERRY A Decay Letter Is Sent to the Missing Lmrance Boy. Lawrence, Kas., May 15. -A decoy letter was sent to Eddie Perry at Kansas City this morning and the police were instructed to arrest the man who called for it. Perry wrote his parents that he had been kidnaped, and that the cap tors were holding him for $300 ransom. He requested his parents to send the amount The story -looked thin and it is believed Perry ran away owing to humil iation because of failure to graduate with his class two years in succession and his aversion to schooL Gresbam' Condition Inchasseil Washington, May 15.

ALL MINERSXOMBIHE Coal Miners Taken Into Western Miners' Federation. This Makes it a Most Powerful Labor Organization. NOW NUMBER 40,000. The Federation Engineered the Cripple Creek Strike. States as Far East as Kansas Will be Taken In. Denver, Cola, May 15. The mo3t important work accomplished in many years in the interest of organized labor, has been consummated by the conven tion of the Western Federation of Miners. The coal miners' unions (rep resenting thousands of men in several western and northwestern states) were admitted to membership in the feder ation. The step was. made without any ox- tended discussion such as was anticipat ed and the proposition to admit carried by a heavy majority. The acquisition of the coal miners makes the western fed eration of miners one of the most pow erful labor bodies in the country. The result of this action will be that the federation which now has over 40, 000 membership, will be greatly in creased in numbers and financial stand ing. The trouble in Cripple Creek last year was a serious drain on the resources of the order, but still it is said that the organization has a surplus of over half a million dollars. By the new arrangement all the states and territories as far east as Kansas and all north, south and west of Colorado will be included under one head NO DELAY IN THE DAM.

2 STATE JOTJRNAI WEDNESDAY, EVENING-, MAY 15. 1895, SHIFTS THEJUBDEIL Sign Satolli Eefers the Endeay orers to Another. The Case of Father Phelan Doesn't Belong to.Him. REGliETS T11E MATTER. The Endeavorers Will Pursue the Question Further. SBVBT Pabk, N. J., May 15. Mgr. Satolli has made answer to the Chris tian Endeavorers' memorial adopted recently at a meeting' here, petitioning him to unfrock Father Phelan, of St Louis, for his utterances touching1 the youngs people of the organization. The letter is as follows: Rev. J. P. Dawson: APOSTOLIC DELEGATION, UNITED STATES cr America, Washington, May 13, 1893. Kev. and Dear Sir: I received some days ago your letter with which you sent me the protest of the Christian 'Endeavorers against the at tacks made by Eev. Father Phelan in his paper on the practice of the asso ciation, and I regret v exceedingly that a question of this kind should have risen. But after a long and care ful consideration of the whole matter I feel that it is one which belongs to the Most Rev. Archbishop of St. Louis rather than to me. With sentiments of sincerest esteem, I re main, most faithfully yours in Christ, Satolli. Mr. Dawson says that following the suggestion of his eminence, he will immediately forward the petition to the archbishop of St. Louis. Mr. Daw Bon also said that it was Father Phe lan's official position and not the man insulting1 the Endeavorers of America. THE BODY OP SENATOR MOEBISSET. St. Louis, May 15. Rev. Father Eu gene Coyie, rector of the Catholic cathedral, will not permit the body of State Senator Peter Morrissey to be brought into the church, on the ground that he died in open public sin. The family feel this decision very acutely and are trying to get Father McErlane to intercede with Father Coyle and have the services hfrld at St. Francis Xavier's church. This cannot be done without Father Coyle's permission. It is hardly probable that this consent will be ob tained, and the present arrangements are that the funeral will take place from the dead man's late home on Thursday afternoon. The interment will be in Calvary. TOWNSITE BOARD SUSTAINED. Guthrie, Ok., May 15.

AN UGLY CRISIS. Trouble with Great Britain Concerning the Seal Fishery. Washington, May 15. An ugly crisis has been reached in the negotiations between the United States and Great Britain looking to the adoption of uniform relations for the government of the seal fishery this season. The Uritish government positively refuses to re-enact the regulations of last year, which prohibits the carrying of firearms by sealing vessels through the zone north of the twenty-fifth parallel dur ing the closed season. United States officials look upon this as disastrous to the seal fisheries, holding that the result will be to relieve the pelagic sealers of the only restriction which has operated to prevent an unlimited slaughter of the herds. While killing by firearms remains illegal it is re alized it will be impossible to enforce this prohibition if arms can be freely carried, for the sealers would kill se cretly unless they should happen to be under the very eye of a revenue cutter. Meanwhile the United States cutters have gone out under the old instructions to seize all vessels car rying arms not under seal. These must be modified, speedily by orders sent through the Alaska Cpmmercial Co.'s steamer, which leaves San Fran cisco in a day or two, or else there may be another big claim for damages on account of illegal seizures filed by the British government. The attitude of the latter is viewed with much dissat isfaction at the state department, where it is regarded as an evidence of the unwarrantable concession to the Canadian pelagic sealers. It is also held the effect of the British action is to practically nullify all measures of protection for the seals that were con ferred by the Paris arbitration, and it would not be surprising if this course is persisted in if it resulted in a decla ration bv the United States of the abrogation of the treaty.

Colored People Are Driven Into X.ouIl tna In Large Numbers. Littlb Bock, May 15. Reports have reached here from Ouachita county, Ark., of the wholesale kidnaping of negroes by white men from Louisiana for farmers living adjacent to Arkansas line, who needed farm laborers. When laborers were needed, they crossed into Arkansas, selected the negroes they wanted, and took them to Louisiana by force. Similar reports have reached here from Union and other counties on the Louisiana border. A dispatch from Eldorado says Judge Smith, of Ouachita county, has convened a special grand jury to investigate the recent outrages of this character. In some cases the kidnapers have been seen driving before them like so many sheep a. bunch of negroes with their arms pinioned and tied together. THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Awful Stories of Armenian Atrocities Proven by Investigation. Constantinople, May 15. The com mission which has been investigating the atrocities in Armenia visited the devastated villages and arrived at Jellygoozan, where 120 houses have been burned. The people were shel tered in miserable houses. Ample proof was found of the truth of the stories told regarding the massa cre of the Armenians, and the fact that their bodies were thrown in large num bers into a pit where the Turks en deavored to conceal their crime by pour ing barrels of petroleum upon the bod ies and setting fire to the oil. The flames, however, failed to consume the mass and a stream was dammed and di verted from its course in order to wash away the half buried bodies. But even this failed to obliterate' the terrible evidence against the Turks and the local authorities were compelled to re move the remains piecemeal. The vil lagers had removed the bulk of the bodies and interred them in conse crated ground before the arrival of the commission. As a result of the investigation and the reports, the powers have submit ted notes to the Turkish government, impressing upon the porte the neces sity of promptly inaugurating a scheme for Armenian reforms which should in clude the appointment of Christian of ficials in Armenia, the powers to have the right to veto the appointments of the governors.

X EyerTbody takes tho Jouksal, LIMB FROM LIMB. Men Horribly Mangled in a Pennsylvania Explosion. Eeinains Were Only Recogniza ble by Their Clothing. SEVEN WERE KILLED. Parts of the Boiler Thrown Hundreds of Feet. Buffalo, N. Y., May 15. A special to the Associated press from West Bingham, Pa., says: Yesterday after noon the bodies of eight men, horribly mangled, scalded and disfigured, were picked out from the ruins of the Peck, Haskell Co"bb's saw mill here, the victims of the explosion of the boiler in the mill. Five were dead and two of the three others have since died. The killed outright were: Claude Eng lish, James Mowers, Eugene Merrick, Lyman Perry, Charles Rover. Those fatally injured were: Caleb Converse, badly scalded about the head and chest; he is dead; Albert DeGroat was so fearfully mangled by boiler iron that he soon died; Bell Gridley was in jured internally and sustained a broken leg, but will recover. The mill was run by steam, generated in an old eighty -horse power boiler, which it is reported had been con demned by an inspector a few days be fore because the steam gauge failed to record accurately the amount of steam pressure. Thirteen men were employed in the mill. Yesterday morning they were busy at work when a belt broke, shutting down the operations. While it was being repaired nobody paid any attention to the boiler, which "was making steam at a prodigious rate, for a hot fire had been kindled under it. Suddenly there came a boom, as of a cannon, followed by a cloud of steam, dust and smoke which rose high in the air. Four of the vic tims were torn limb from limb, their remains scattered about the mill and the immediate vicinity. The mill was almost entirely demolished. Parts of the boiler were thrown hundreds of feet. The victims were horribly mangled, having their heads crushed to a jelly and being recognizable only by their clothing. The dead workmen were all married and had families. BIG FIRE IN DETROIT. Detroit, Mich., May 15.

Washington, May 15. Yesterday tht. treasury department deficit passed the $50,000,000 mark, the exact amount of the excess of expenditures over the re ceipts sinee July 1, 1894, being 850,404, 887. The deficit for the thirteen days of the present month is$5,150,517. This is the second year since 1865 that the expenditures of the government have exceeded its revenues. Last year the deficit was 69,803,260, making the aggregate deficiency since July 1, 1893, 120,208,147. The receipts from customs so far this year amount to a little over 8133,000,000, which is about $1,000,000 excess of the custom receipts during the whole of the last fiscal year. The internal revenue re ceipts this month to date aggregate about 8125,500,000 as against 8147,111, 233 during the fiscal year 1894. The best information obtainable as to the net result of the year's financial ope r ations is that even if the income tax law is permitted to remain as it is, the deficiency on July 1 next will exceed 855,000,000 and if the law is declared unconstitutional it may reach 860, 000,000.

The second part consists of a petition of over 600 names, ask ing the president to take the matter in hand and use his influence with the secretary of the interior to get the reservation opened to settlement. THE MEMPHIS DRILL. Omaha Thurston Rifles Put Up the Best Drill Yet Seen at the Park. Memphis, Tenn., May 15. At Camp Schofield yesterday morning the regu lar troops gave an exhibition of guard mount as it is practiced in the service for the enlightenment of the citizen sol diers. Another delightful day and the fact that the Governor's guards, the first local company to drill, would ap pear in the afternoon attracted a crowd of upward of 4,000 to Montgomery park. The Thurston rifles, of Omaha, under Capt. A. H. Scharff, put up the best drill yet seen at Camp Schofield when they competed in class C. Their work was warmly appreciated by the spectators. It is per haps only natural, however, that the greatest enthusiasm should have been aroused by the Governor's guards, of this city, who immediately followed them. The afternoon's pro gramme ended with the appearance of the Gatling gun detachment of the Omaha guards, whose work conpared very favorably with their only rival, the Cincinnati detachment. THE MILK GETS SOUR. No Sweet Milk Along the Chicago Drain age Canal. Lemont, 11L, May 15. The village of Lemont is doomed to use sour milk until the drainage canal is completed.

Representative Lambert Creates Lively Scenes in Court. Niwtos, May 15. Upon opening his mail yeaterday, Charles Shuster found a draft for $2(50 and a letter explaining that the sender had purchased a team of horses three years ago for which he had never paid. The circumstances surrounding the affair are peculiar, and are such aa to perfectly conceal the guilty man. It was a case of mistaken identity. Three years ago a man appeared at the Shuster livery stable, since burned, and greeted Shuater cordially. Shuster thought he knew the man, but he didn't. While he was pre sumably talking to his acquaintance, his acquaintance was not even in town, aa was afterward proven. The stranger held up his end of the conversation admirably, and Mr. Shuster was as compietely de ceived as if he had been dreaming. The man bargained for a team of horses, agreeing to pay $200 for them. ''I'll be around in the mom.ng and settle for them," he said. "i haven't the monej- with me tonight, not thinking we could agree so readily." Nothing wrong being suspected, the horses were allowed to go. The stranger, of course, skipped with the team, and had not been heard from since until now. 'ihe man whom Shuster thought to be the purchaser showed up the next day, and it was on:y by proving an alibi that he cleared himself from the accusation of having bought the team the night before. A mystery has hung over the entire transaction for three years, and both officerj and interest ed parties have long since given up all hopes of getting any trace of team or man. The letter that came today explains it alL The man hs evideutly been pros perous and regretted that he had been so base in former years. HOOn STILL IX POLITICS. He Considers it Too Krly Yet However to Talk About Gorernor. Emporia, May 15. Many Kansas pa pers having printed the story that Major C. Hood would be a candidate for gover nor before the next Republican conven tion, he was interviewed on the -subject and said: "You may say that I consider it alto gether too early to begin to talk about candidates for governor in ltS9ti Gov. Morrill's administration has really just begun aud no one can tell what a year will bring forth. It is usual to give the governor two terms and it is no more than probable that Governor Morrill will not be made an exception to the rule. "While it is possible that some Repub licans mar not be satisfied with his ad ministration so far, it is very likely that before the end of his term all differences will be amicably settled, and he will be again the candidate of the party and again elected.' Major Hood's friends here say the re port tDat he is out of politics is very much oi a mistake. MR. LAMBERT REPRIMANDED. Tha Emporia Representative's Sarcasm Call a Rebuke From the J ud Emporia, May 15. Several very en livening if not exciting scenes occurred in court yesterday at the trial of Ben Wlteldon for selling intoxicating liquors. I. E. Lambert, one of the attorneys for the defense, cuarged that arrangements had been made whereby the jury was being "stacked on him," as jurors were not being called in their regular order, but that the most ardent prohibitory en thusiasts were being picked out, and he demanded an investigation. Judge Randolph reminded him that that was a very grave charge against members of the bar, and Lambert rejoined that he did not refer to members of the bar, but to the myriad of outside deputy county attorneys who were swarming the court room and burning their ringers with other people's broth, After a few more remarks Lambert withdraw hia demand for an investigation. Later when one of the witnesses asked to be excused the defense objected. Mr. Lambert referred to the matter in a way that bronght a short reprimand from Judge Randolph "You have not been conducting this case fairly," said the court, "and unless vou desist I shall certainly have to fine you." Mr. Lambert replied that he had tried to be fair, and the judge ended the mat ter by saying that he (Lambert) would have to look out for the result. Seniors Beat the Faculty. Lawrence, May 15.

LOOKING IT UP. ilT. Fosdiek Learns tbe Value of an Eney- i clopedia. Mr. Fosdick sat in his library reading a newspaper. He threw the sheet aside, rose and went to the bookcase which contains his encyclopedia and ran his eye along the volumes. He did this two or three times, and then he spoke, making a great effort to be calm, and succeeding about as well as most men succeed when they try to be calm in the bnsoin of their families. This is what he said: "One of the unexplained mysteries is why the particular volume in an encyclo pedia set which you want to consult is al ways the one that is missing from the bookcase. Another of the mysteries which I despair of ever hearing satisfactorily ex plained is why you peoplo can never re turn a book to the case after using it." "Which volume is it you want, dear?" asked Mrs. Fosdick meekly, she being in truded in the term "you people," used by Air. Fosdick. "I want the volume with the E's in it. There is an allusion to Mount Etna in the newspaper which I want to verify, and that particular volume is the only one of the whole two dozen which isn't in its proper place." Mrs. Fosdick went to the bookcase and began to search its shelves. Then she looked in another bookcase, but without success, and her husband expressed his un alterable conviction that either his wife or his daughter had removed it from its place and failed to return it. "I believe Ethel did take it to her room the other day," said Airs. Fosdick af ter a moment's thought. "Ethel!" Ethel was curled up in a big leather chair reading a novel and had taken no part in the discussion. "Yes, mamma." "Didn't you take a volume of the ency clopedia to your room the other day when you had to write an essay on Emerson?" "I believe I did, mamma." "You must have left it there. Hurry and bring it down." Ethel left on her errand, and Mr. Fos dick occupied the time in delivering some extempore remarks on tho way women had of dropping things wherever they happened to be, regardless of the place appointed of their keeping. "It makes me so cross," he continued, "to find my books of refer ence anywhere and everywhere but where they ought to be, that I am seriously con sidering the advisability of locking up the reference bookcase. Volumes of that char acter should never be taken from the li brary, under any circumstances. Now, I am always very particular myself to re place a book on its proper shelf as soon as I am through with it. Well, where is it?" he asked, as Ethel reappeared without the book. "I remember now that I brought it back as soon as I was done with it, papa," said Ethel. "But that's impossible, child. You must have left it somewhere. It isn't in the case. "Oh, now I remember!" exclaimed Sirs. Fosdick. "Well?" queried her husband. "You are the one who took it away and forgot to bring it back, are you?" "No, sir, it was you, yourself! Don't you remember that you got interested in an article on Egypt and brought it up to my room to read it to me night before last?" I I I befieve I did. "It's in my room yet, I know. I saw it this morning .and I intended to bring it down to the library. Ethel, I think you'll find it on the bureau in my room." Miss Fosdick made another trip up stairs, and her father maintained a stolid silence during her absence. When she re turned, she had the missing volume in her hands. Mr. Fosdick took it and began to turn its leaves in silence, as the incident seemed to call for no further comment from him. His wife said nothing, either. She simply thought. Presently there was another impatient exclamation from Air. Fosdick. "What is it now, dear?" she asked. "Look at that," he replied, pointing to a place on the open page. She looked and read this line: "Etna. See 2Etna." Life. WILL SURELY CONDEMN IT. Illinois G. A. R. Certain to Denounce Ded ication of Confederate Monument. Bloomington, Ills.. May 15. Rain set in today marring the pleas urea of the Illinois Grand Army Encampment An exciting discussion took place at today's session of the G. A.

FLOYD OF PA0L1 SUSPENDED Because He Advertised and Delivered a Lecture Before tbe Attciasea School or Dentistry. Dr. E. A. Floyd of Paola was suspend ed from membership in the Kansas Den tal association this morning because he advertised and because he was charged with being connected with the Atkinson Dental school. This is the continuation of the un pleasantness of last year in which Dr. an Fossen of Kansas City was removed and Dr. Floyd's case was not disposed of. A letter was read from Dr. Floyd in which he explained that he simply de livered a course of lectures before the Atkinson school and that he severed hia Connection with thA inntitntinn nt tha end of the term. This last, Dr. Wasson Baia, he knew waa false, and recom mended the suspension of the Paola man until he could be notified of his trial be fore the board of censors. This business of a dentist advertising and letting folks know that he was alive Dr. Wasson said was shameless, and the other doctors agreed with him. Dr. Wasson has a big practice and ad vertising is a good way for other dentists just as good, to get it away from him. if a dentist knows how to remove teeth and perform other difficult operations and there are thousands of people who want to find just such a dentist, the dentist who doesn't advertise is simply losing his opportunities. Of all foolish fads among dentists and doctors that of not advertising is the most cranky and senseless. Dr. Parker, of Olathe, said that so far as Dr. Floyd advertising waa concerned tnere were others, but no names were mentioned. There ought to be more. Dr. Floyd was finally suspended. There will be an interstate meeting of the dentists of Missouri, Kansas, Colo rado, and Nebraska next May, and it will likely be at Excelsior Springs. The Kansas fellowB, with their usual Kansas enterprise, sprang the idea. A paper was then read by the secre tary from W. H. Shulze of Atchison on 'The Dental Education of the Public," and it was discussed. There were about 100 dentists and their friends at tha lecture last night by Prof. L. L Blake of the state university on 'Electricity aa Applied to Dentistry and .Medicine." After the meeting of this afternoon at which will take place the election of of ficers the meeting of the Kansas den tists for the year 1895 .will adjourn. BIU NEW PLANING MILL.

Says Womanly Sympathy Is the Strongest Bulwark Against Social Democracy. London, May 15. A despatch to the Times from Berlin says: Prince Bis marck, in receiving a delegation of Sile sian women on Monday, said: "I believe, that womanly sympathy ia a stronger bulwark for our political institutions against social democracy than the anti-revolution bill would have been if it had been accepted by the reichstag. I am not sorry that the measure has fallen through. A dispatch to the Standard from Ber lin say3 that in the course of a conversa tion with his ministers on Sunday Em peror William expressed great satisfac tion with the debates on the anti-revolution bill.

Fashions have stiffened and linings growu heroic of haircloth to such a degree of late that 'tis rumored that the penance of her carriage or her calliDg gown is Lenten to ladies who on the promenade rejoice in the armor that is concealed even in silk attire. The effect of the enlarging sleeves ia balanced, to a fine perception, by the counterpoise afforded by all the stiffen ing the goddess of fashion indulges in. Trust not the soft exterior of the most gentle maid or matron who has traffic with fashion in these days. There is costly weight of woe to be carried about when buckram rules. Neither the no tions of the cloister nor the manners of tbe old days when the stuff was of a costlier kind than now are copied by those who wear haircloth today. Bos ton Transcript.

Columbian Building, Wheat The opening thia morning waa easier and a rather tame market for L the first fifteen minutes with the big bears hammering the market for a break. Therewas a flood of buying ordera on any signs of weakness and it soon developed into a rapid advancing market with shorts scrambling to get under cover. The advance did not let up until 662 vvas reached for the July option, the highest point since Uctober, lya. At this point there waa heavy realizing by longs taking profits which temporarily checked the advance, and the market reacted to 66, but there ia a surprising absence of sell ing orders and offerings. Holders do not seem to loosen up, with everything favorable for 75c wheat in a few days, Pardridge was a good buyer all day, and bought 400,000 bushels of July wheat at 66c -as soon as it reacted from 66c. Cables were firm and higher all around, and 224.000 bus he la of wheat and flour were taken for export from the four porta.. Cash demand ia all that could be desired, and a great wave of buying orders sweeps into the market very time it declines a little and causes so much strength that ordi nary bearish influence cut no figure. Corn and oats The big shorts covered on the strength in wheat and the market was strong all day. Oats were dull and lightly higher in sympathy with wheat Two cargoes of corn were chartered for export via Montreal Provisions sold off early but braced up later on with grain. Very little doinj.

Mrs. Lease will bo compelled to buy a newspaper or rent a hall if she keeps even with her old enemy Wait. Missouri haa just lost a senator who seems to have been worse than our Sen ator Householder, even though all the latter is charged with be true. It will now be in order for State Treas-, urer Atherton and some of hi3 friends to publish a card denying that he had any thing to do with the attempt to blow up Tom Reed. Populists don't furnish the same kind of certificates of character for one an other that the Republicans da They don't seem to appreciate the advantages of standing together. Three out of the whole number of days alotted by law to the people of Kan sas in which to do their eamblin will be consumed by the people of Leaven worth beginning next Friday. The "business administration" prom ised the people does not appear to have furnished much business to the miners of Osage county. They are not faring any better than they did UDder Populist rule. Senator Householder's greatest mis take was made in not securing a certifi cate of good character from some of his friends. It might have prevented an in vestigation. That is the method now in vogue. Charles Finch of the Lawrence Jour nal, who has been "whaling away1' at the administration for weeks, came up to Topeka this week, and since his re turn home haa whipped around into an ardent admirer of the state house crowd. Notwithstanding the protests which have been made by a Grand Army post here and there, preparations are going forward at Chicago for the unveiling of the Confederate monument on Memorial Day. Peonle who extend their hatrwd beyond the grave do not appear to be numerous. When Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado, at the Bland meeting in Den ver, declared that he had cast his last vote for any presidential candidate who was opposed to free silver or lukewarm in its interests, he voiced the sentiments of a large majority of the voters in all polit'cal parties. 'Incidentally at the same time he Bhut oat McKinley, Reed, Harrison, Morton and Allison. It was very considerate on the part of the Brooklyn postofBce officials to per mit the employes to dispense with smiles when saluting their "superiora," It is not always convenient to carry about with one a stock of ready made smiles, besides there is the danger that in case a number of these "superiors" should be encountered in qulek succession the smile might degenerate into a grin. The organization of a new silver party should not be thought of except as a last leiortc It u a great undertaking to op. ganlze a new party. It finds itself lack ing in discipline, and the worst element always gets to the front The late Popu- ist party i3 an example of the truth of this. A lot of scamps got control of the party who hadn't decency enough to try to hide their shame. After being hurled from their positions by the votes of the people they continue to expose the petty thieving and dishonest and immoral practices of one another. There are enough free silver Republicans in the country to control the national conven tion of the party, and they ought to do it With a free silver platform and a free silver candidate they can realize the ong cherished hope of carrying a num ber of the southern states. The Demo cratic party is certain to stand for the gold standard. Ita leaders, the men who manipulate the party councils, are fed eral officeholders, to whom Cleveland's ward is law, and a majority of the edi tors of Democratic newspapers are post mastera Besides all this it takes a two- thirds vote to nominate in a Democratic convention. The "public sentiment" idea of the enforcement of law se-ems to be obtain ing a foot hold in Colorado. A dispatch from Cripple Creek saya that public sen timent is in favor of the officers who shot Jack Smith and so nothing will be done about it. Truly this is an age of progress. Just as soon as the people thoroughly understand this "public sentiment" idea the administration of justice can be greatly simplified. There will no longer be any need of legislatures, governors, sheriffs, constables, policemen or courts. If the execution of the law against murder and selling whisky can be left to public sentiment there is no good reason why all other iaws may, not be treated in the same way. Of course thia is not anarchy, because it is all being done under the stars and stripes instead of a red flag. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS. The Nutt jury went to hear Souaa'a band when it was in Atchison.

At Sousa's badd concert at Leaven worth Sunday the greatest crowd was on the street outside while there were rows of empty seats within. This shows that Leavenworth people don't approve of Sunday amusements. Wichita girls have been patronizing a mind reader who holds their hands and tells them all about themselves for 50 cents. He is about to be driven out of the business now by the ruinously low prices oi competing young men.

The "Helianthus" of the junior class is now in the hands of the printer, and will be out in a short time. It will be by far the finest publication ever sent out from the college. Miss Adelaide Stich.'who wa3 such a favorite with the lovers of music at the collega last yejr, and who has been studying in New York for the past year, is expected to be here soon. It will be pleasant to have her again. The agents are beginning to ply their trades among the students. Each one has the best thing out, is general agent for the whole west, and is perfectly wil ling to make you "general agent" with full power to appoint sub-agents. They do not hesitate at race or sex.

He said that the people of Kan sas could be compared to the old Span iards in Mexico who searched long for the city of gold, but returned sick and hopeless. So the people of this state, supposing the present administration to be "good gold" in relation to the pro hibition laws, had been most zealous to put those men into office, and now were finding out how utterly hopeless had been their efforts. The speaker had a chance to make a good speech but showed lack of preparation. 212 and 114 f estate Peerleai Bteara Laundry, pniniiMiniuiiniioiM O Moment THE ETTENS0N CLOTHING CO. PRICES: Lot.

If one man could win a ball game Pitcher Hindmarsh would enjoy the glory of defeating the Topeka league team; but as it is his scalp and eight others are dangling at the waists of Manager Mote's nine. The Topeka Athletic club played a good game against the professionals, and although the score was 20 to 9 against them, they have noth'mg to be ashamed of, Hindmarsh was the T. A A's star player. Besides striking out four men he did nearly as much infield work as the basemen and his game was errorless. Pound, who was behind the bat, held him almost faultlessly. Charley McCabe at second and Nat Black at short, helped materially in making the game interest ing. The work in the outfield by Dick Alden, Lew Bronson and Hal Hazlett was good. For the professionals Philip Mayer knocked the ball .over the fence for a home run, and Krebs knocked it so far into the outfield that he man aged to make four bases. Conlin made two two-base hits. The leaguers played an excellent game throughout and one that will make them popular if kept up. The only unpleasant feature of the game was a, disposition to rowdyism in the eighth inning by some of the profes sional players. They appeared to forget that they were playing ball with gentle men. Hazlett was viciously slugged at the home plate by Mayer, and although he protests that it was accidental it did not look so to the crowd. Close also dis played vicious tactics in obstructing a base runner at third. Topeka base ball enthusiasts will not tolerate bullying or rowdyism on the diamond, and this shouid be understood at the beginning of the season. Following is the score: 123456789 T. T.

The normal training class of the kin dergarten will hold its regular monthly meeting with Mrs. Gregory next Tues day evening. Some of the members of the class expect to leave Topeka for new fields of work after their graduation, which exercises will be held June 11, probably at Library hall. Miss Miller goes to the City of Mexico, and it is probable Miss Woolger will go to St. Louis. St. Louis now has seventy-two kindergartens aa a part of its public school system. The Kindergarten association, at its "meeting la3t Wednesday, voted to re engage Mrs. Gregory as superintendent of kindergartens and trainer of the nor mal class, for next year. The normal class will commence about October 1. The auxiliary at Lowman Hill gave an entertainment for the benefit of its treasury, at Lowman Hill chapel last Wednesday evening. It was a most pleasing entertainment and a good au dience. BLOOMERS PROHIBITED. Unless the Wearer Shall Ride by Herself in Tiffin, O. Tiffin, O., May 15. At a meeting of the Ladies' Cycling club last evening the question of wearing bloomers was thoroughly discussed. This was made necessary by two of Jhe members appear ing in bloomer costume one evening when a "run" was called and the rest re fused to ride with them. After a spirited discussion a vote was taken, which resulted in 7 to 6 in favor of skirts, but when any rider goes out alone she can wear what she pleases, but when she appears with the club she must wear the regulation skirt.

Another army is about to invade China, but the campaign will be conducted on different lines from that of the Japanese. The Salvation Army is going to try to conquer the Orient and bring the mil lions of Chfnes9 into the field of Christi anity. The leader of the movement is Fong Foo Sing, a young Chinese, who is a member of the Salvation Army in this city, and who is employed as typewriter in the office of the W'ar Cry. He said to a reporter: "I expect that the army at the proper time will send me to China. To go to China was the object that really led me into the Salvation Army. I wanted to do some thing for my country along army lines. The late war, I believe, has made China open her eyes. As a result, the way will be opened for Christianity, civilization and other good things." Following is a note he wrote for the reporter: "I fully believe that when we have a Chinese work started in a prosperous way lots of Christian Chinese who rally around us and fight beneath our colors to bring China to Christ Yours to lick the devil, "Fong Sing." THE GARDEN CITY DITCH. It Is to Be Used to Its Full Capacity This t Year. Garden City, May 15. The Garden City Ditch company is cleaning out its big main ditch for irrigation purposes. The ditch has not been fixed up for several years and had fallen largely into disuse, but this year the water is badly needed. The immense conglomeration of dirt, trash and weeds, which is the natural consequence of neglect, has materially interfered with the progrejs of the work. The banks, also, have in several instances become completely sodled over with a tough growth of grass, something that will not be allowed to occur again. The graders are hauled by team of eight horses each. The company is making a discount of 10 per cent to all farmers who pay in advance, and fully 60 per cent of the water users are taking advantage of this. GRESHAM'S TROUBLE. He Smokes Poor Cigars and Too Many of Them. Washington, May 15. Secretary Gresham's illness is thought by some of his friends to be in part due to his exces sive smoking. The secretary has been for many years a great smoker of rather strong and poor cigars. It is believed that he might now rally faster if he had not smoked so much. Secretary Morton has stopped smoking altogether. Postmaster General Wilson, who did not take up smoking till after he was forty, has become so fond of his cigar, that, like General Grant, he admits he often eats dinner for the sole purpose of making a cigar taste just right. President Cleveland some time asro, on the advice of his physician, gave up smoking till after dinner, and even then he smokes at most two cigars. MRS. STEYENS' PICTURES. They Are Bold at Auotion and Bring Low Prices. New York, May 15. The sale of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens' furniture and household effects at auction began yes terday afternoon and the rooms were packed with buyert and curious persons. The moat interesting features of the afternoon's auction were the paintings and engravings, which went at very low prices. There were more than ninety of these sold, and altogether they did not bring quite $300. The largest sum paid for one painting was $100, for the "Young Artist," by Edmund Wagres, for which Mrs. Stevens is said to have given f 1,000. A water color by Marriotti, "A Street Scene in Sabicco.

The gist of the sermon was that there would be no rest in heaven in the Bense of idleness, and that the transition from thia life to the life to come would be a widening of the sphere of thought and activity of mind.

His Treatment of Her Eyes Seven Years of Hap piness the Result. Prof. Samuels, the oculist, who has been visiting Topeka for nearly twenty years and doing wonders here, is once more in the city. People come to him, not because they have any love for him, but because he is able to perform cures where others have failed. He has proven this on all former visits to this city. Some persons may get some remedy which will relieve them for the time being, but they have to keep on being treated. With Prof. Samuels' treatment it is entirely dif ferent Mrs. E. P. Baker of North Topeka, whose husband is in the wholesale gro cery business in Kansas City, and who is well known in this city, makes this re markable statement: "Over six years ago I was suffering ter ribly with neuralgia. Everything possi ble was tried for ma Doctors and medi cine could give no relief. I was always ailing. No one except those similarly afflicted knows the dreadful suffering I endured. I was induced to call upon Prof. Samuels, and after examining my eyes he told me that he could cure me and that he would do it through the eyes. 1 admit that I could not and would not believe it. But all other remedies were exhausted with no relief and I concluded to try him. It is now seven years since he attended me. 1 have had no trace of neuralgia; in fact, am entirely cured, I wish to add my name to his list, that it may be the means of inducing others who are ailing to call on him and be cured. When I look back on my unhap piness, and then see myself as I am now, I think life is only worth living when you don't have to suffer." Prof. Samuels is now at the Hotel Throop, and is curing a great many eyes. He will positively cure all nervous trou ble through the eyes. Office hours from 9 a. m, to 5 p. m. Consultation free.

STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 15, 1895. 5 CIDEll MAKES DRUNK. Prof. Lovewell on the Witness Stand Today. HARD CIDER A KISKI DRIHL It Contains Seven Per Cent Alcohol Which is Store Than Im Found in Beer. The first one of the socalled "cider cases" was tried in the police court today. Expert testimony by competent judges wa3 introduced to prove that the cider wasn't intoxicating, although it analyzed 6. 85-100 per cent alcohol. It waa the case against C. Curtia the cider manufacturer who has done as large a cider business aa any man in Topeka. The principal evi dence on the part of the city waa that of J. P. Lovewell, the vene rable professor, who ha3 occupied the chair of chemistry and physics at "Wash burn college almost since its organiza tion. He analyzed the cider, and found It contained nenrly seven per cent, and Bo testified, "What is hard cider?" asked J. S. Ens minger, Curtis' attorney. "I should say that any cider that had become fermented was hard cider." "How long does it take cider to fer ment?" It depends largely on where It is kept It fermenta quickly in a warm place, but If kept cool the process is delayed," "Is hard cider intoxicating?" "It is so considered." "Is there any scientific standard of what is intoxicating and what is not?" "None that I know of." "What per cent of alcohol is consid ered intoxicating by scientific men?" M have never heard scientific men dis cuss that question." "What do you consider the minimum?" "I have known people to get drunk on beer that contained only four per cent." "Whether or not this cider is intoxicat ing then, is a matter to be proved by ex periment?" "I think so." "What per cent alcohol does whisky contain?" "From forty to fifty per cent" 'How much does champagne?" "Fifteen to eighteen." Brandy?" ".More than whisky, often as high as Sixty." 'How much does beer contain?" 'Generally four or five, but sometimes as high as twelve per cent." "How much is in port wine?" "I never analyzed it." "Was this cider completely fer mented?" "No. It was merely in process of fer mentation." 'What is the specific gravity of alcohol as compared with water?" "If you let one represent water, alcohol will be eighth-tenth's, or nearly that." The lawyers concluded that Prof. Lovewell had passed a very creditable examination, and they let him go. Then the defense began on their wit nesses. There were nearly two dozen of them, all subpoenaed to prove that Cur tis' cider was not intoxicating. They were mostly men able to tell, because they generally used "something else" to produce the desired effect The following was one witness' testi mony. The others were much like it: "D'.d you ever drink any of Curtis' cider?" "Yes." "How often?" "Some times once a week, and some times every day in the week." "Did it ever make you drunk?" "Never." "Are you a good judge of liquor?" "Guess so." "How long have you been drinking liquor?" "Thirty years." "Ever beeu drunk?" "Yes." "On cider?" "Not in Kansas." "Where?" "At my old home up in New York." "Did you ever see any hard cider in Kansas?" "No." 'Do you mean to sav that cider fer ments in New York and doesn't ferment in Kansas?"- "Dunna" "What sort of a climate do they have up at your home in Sew York?" "Cold when it's cold, and pretty warm in the summer." "How long had this cider been stand ing that made you drunk in New Y'ork?" "Six months or a year." At the conclusion of a vast amount of testimony similar to this which lasted until nearly noon, Judge Ferry an nounced that he would take the case Under advisement. Mr. Ensminger offered a demurrer to all the evideuce on the ground that whether or not the cider was intoxicat ing depended not upon analysis but experiment, and there was no evidence that anybody had been intoxicated by it This demurrer waa overruled. Several members of the "Amorita" company will appear all summer at Uh ris'a cave. St Louis, the popular summer resort of that city. The Amorita Opera company ended its season last week. Among those who are engaged at Uh rig s cave are Gertrude Lodge and Geo Lyding. Kirkland Calhoun is stare manager. 6 A MAN Can See that it Pays to Buy Hoes, Rakes, Spades, Poultry Wire, Wire Cloth A WOMAN Can See that it Pays to Bay Tinware, Ovens, Gasoline Stoves, SHELDEN'S, TC3 Kansas 6.79.

State Irrigation Board Discussing the Irrigating Bids. THEY ARE NUMBERED BY SCORES. The Board Seeks to Be Guaranteed Against Loss or failure. The entire atate board of irrigation met this morning at the office of the board of public works and hud a pleas ant, chatty time. Judge Sutton waa there. Judge Frost waa there; and Mr. Tomblia of Goodland managed to be present and say a few little things occasionally. So also did Professor Haworth of the state uni versity. President Fairchild of the agri cultural college sat back at the end of the table and watched the others. The session lasted more than two hours. There were contracts for four pump ing stations to be let The stations are located in Logan, Wichita, Greeley and Lane counties and the bids for drilling, mills, pumps, reservoirs, etc., were very numerous. So numerous and so incom prehensible were they in fact that the committee simply sat down in the middle of the pile and refused, to be comforted. Every subject was discussed and every subject waa dropped with charming reg ularity before it waa completed. One man wanted one thing and one man wanted another, and no man was heard through his entire speech. Some of the bids were looked over, and the subject of a gas engine proposal will probably give a part of the board at least a chance to go to Kansas City before the day is done. Its idea, the board saya, is to save the state the cost of experimenting with different pumping plants. It wants the state to buy only satisfactory outfits, and wants the firm making bids to prove the efficiency of their ma chinery by actual experiment before it is accepted. Every bid that is at all reasonable will be considered, and the bidders allowed to try one of their out fits in actual operation. If it is satisfac tory it will be allowed to remain. If not, it will be torn up by the roots and some other fellow given a chance. Only good machinery will be accepted at whatever coat. It is probable now that each pumping station will cost in the neighbornood of 600. At first it was thought the cost could be kept at about SOU The state is pretty poor, anyway. Once during the morning a requisition was made on the state for pens, ink and pa per. .The sergeant-at-arms came back in a short time with the news that the Btate was shy on pens, ink and paper. Secretary Coburn was present and said he didn't doubt it, the state was too poor to even furnish him twine to tie up pack ages of papers with. It was immediately suggested that Secretary of the Board button be in structed to buy fifteen cents' worth of paper at one place, fifteen cents' worth of ink at another, and fifteen cents' worth of pens at another, and have the bills sent to the state.

Story Written by Mrs. Williams-Jarrell Myra READ AT THE EHTERTA18MEHT For the Benefit of the First Christian Church Last XigUl-A Clevr Sketch in Society Life. The following story written by Mrs. Myra Williams-Jarrell, was read at the literary entertainment at the First Chris tian church last night: "But don't you think a woman has a right to show a man she is not indifferent to him? It pleases him, and he begins thinking about her good judgment, and the rest is easy." She was leaning back indolently in a great arm-chair, scanning with half closed eyes the tea-grounds in her cup. Her hostess, seated opposite her, thor oughly wide awake, and looking what she was, a clever, practical woman, gave her a long scrutinizing look before she replied irrelevantly, with another ques tion. "What is on your mind now, Mildred? Have you adopted a new method to win some man? 1 suppose you have pro posed to him." "Not exactly. But when a woman is in love "Nonsense!" interrupted her friend. Mildred Hamilton showed no signs of resentment as she answered sweetly: "I knew you would say that, dear. But I am sure of myself this time. Con gratulate me, Mary. I am in love." "I will do no such thing. I am grow ing tired of congratulating you upon the antics of your peculiar heart. I believe that is the twentieth time you have told me the same thing." "I expected you would receive it in just that way. It is so comforting not to be disappointed. But this time it is really serious. Plea.e try to believe me, Mary," said Mildred, with more anima tion than she had shown before. f How old are you, Mildred? Twenty five?" asked her friend. "Precisely. What a good memory you have," lazily-answered the girl. 'During the live years you have been in society you have met with great suc cess. You have charmed every eligible man toward whom your fleeting fancy turned. You have thought you were perfectly honest each time. You have confided to me every time that you were truly in love. You uever have been, and never will be in love. You are not capable of a lasting affection for any one." "Except for you and myself, dear," corrected Mildred. "I admit you have not been fickle so far as we two are concerned. That is be cause I am a necessity to you. No other woman would have borne your confi dences with patience," said Mary Nich ols, with some warmth. "I don't know what you call patience, Mary. I certainly would never have known it by such a name. Now I am patient, for I hear' your attacks with un failing good nature" and Mildred smiled so sweetly at her that Mary melted and said: "You certainly are very magnetic. Millie dear. I get so angry with you, and then you smile, and I forget all about it and only remember how attractive you are. But seriously, Mildred, your character is very incomplete. Superfici ally you are all right, but that does not compensate foryour fickleness and insta bility. Everybody loves you. Men and women,children and dogs fall beneath the glamor of your smile, but not one of them could honestly tell why they do it," she concluded rather lamely. If anvone but vou talked to me in that way I would not stand it No one but you can say such pretty things and such ugly things in the same breath. It is a gift, dear," and Mildred opened wide her beautiful golden-brown eyes and looked admiringly at her friend. "Now I want to know who the man is, and what tactics you have used to beguile him," said Mary abruptly. "It is John Millspaugh, but 1 nave not beguiled him. He is quite indifferent to me. Last night after dinner I gave him rather plainly to understand delicately, of course, that I was not unmindful of his presence. That is all, except that I love him." That, of course, goes without saying. I knew that it must be he, because you have had your flirtation with all the others, and have loved them each in turn, in your lofty high-bred manner. And now you must try and charm grave spectacled, scientific, unsophisticated John Millspaughl But you won't suc ceed. He is invulnerable, for I have seen him resist the fascinations of hand somer women than you who were taken. as you are, with his indifference, and his severe beauty. If you were a rock, or a rare plant, he might love you, or if you were even iossu, ne mignt en thuse over you but as a woman never! You may as well give it up, my dear;1' and Mary smiled a little maliciously. Mildred smiled inscrutably and rose without answering. When she reached the door, she turned and wafted a dainty kiss toward her hostess, and left the room. This conversation took place in the private Bitting room of Mrs. Robert Nichols, who was entertaining a party of her most intimate friends in her sum mer home in the White mountains. She had known and loved Mildred Hamilton for years, and she claimed the exclusive right to lecture and abuse the girl, who had been her room mate at col lege, her bridesmaid when she married and at all times her especial torment and delight She sat just as Mildred had left her, thinking ot their conversation, until she was aroused by a short quick rap at the door. She arose to open it, and found John Alius pautr h. standing in tne nan, with a perplexed look on his handsome face. "May I come in?" he asked, and ad vancing into the room, took the chair just vacated by Mildred "I have come to say," he began rather awkwardly, "that I think I must leave this charming spot I have business which calls me home. j "Mr. Millspaugh. you may as well be honest with me. There is something- else, l can see Dy your race that you are not telling me the truth. Come, whst is it?" He hesitated before he replied. "There is something else. But 1 would rather not tell." "Have I ever failed you when you needed advice? You will let me straighten out this matter without your going awav will you not?" she asked coaxiaelr "You are very good. You have been a good friend to me always, and it is not because I don't trust you, but it is some thing I cannot tell to any one," he said, frowning a little through his glasses. ""It is about a woman, of course," said Mary, settling herself as though for a good chat "How did you know?" he queried anx iously. "Oh, you transparent man! Don't you know that a woman with any foresight at all, can tell when a man is in love?" "But, I am not," protested the man earnestly. "Oh, than she is love with you!" as serted Mrs. Nichols astutely. He looked at her, and a slow color crept up in his face, as he asked shame facedly, "Have you noticed it, too?" "Of course I have. Anyone could see that is," she added hastily, as he looked alarmed, "any one who knows her as well as I da I dare say the oth ers have been too much absorbed in themselves to notice." "You see now how impossible it is for me to stay," he began in rather an em barrassed tone. "I see no such thing," said the hostess. "You must not go away it would make matters worse." "I don't understand," he said help lessly. "I see that I must be perfectly frank with you. I know Mildred too well to think this will last that is, if she is prop erly treated for it If you were to go away, such an unprecedented act would make her pine and grieve, and it would end, perhaps, really seriously to her. Your indifference would augment the disease. She can only be cured by reciprocity," she concluded. "You mean he gasped "Exactly. I mean you must stay here and make, love to her." "But, my dear Mrs. Nichols, how can a man make love to a woman he doesn't love?" he asked in astonishment "Easily enough; at least most men can. Perhaps you are different, but you will soon acquire the art Begin by haunting her. You need not say much just look at her all the time. That ought not to be difficult, for you must admit that she is very good to look at." "Yes," he assented, absent-mindedly. "You will be surprised to see how soon you will be saying pretty things to her. She will help you along wonderfully. Then you must propose to her." "Propose to herl" he looked thorough ly startled now. "Yes," calmly, continued his hostess. "You must propose to her. She will ac cept you; she always does; then you must stay closer by her than ever, dog her footsteps, hang on her words, pre tend to be jealous, and glower at every man in the same room with her, and in every way act the devoted lovet. She won't tolerate you long after that If you begin today, I will promise you that you will be a free man in two weeks. "But it is not honorable," objected Mr. Millspaugh. "Honorable or not, it must be done in the cause of humanity. Believe me, I know what I am talking about" "I will act upon your advice. but I feel like an insufferable cad for doing so. And with an unhappy but deter- mined face he left the room. J won der began Mrs. Nichols to herself but she never finished the sentence. During the two weeks which followed, she was delighted to see that her plan wa3 working exactly as she expected, and she congratulated herself upon her cleverness. One day when she entered her sitting room she found Mildred sitting in her favorite chair, a ray of sunshine falling aslant her golden brown head, and light ing up her fair face. After greeting her Mildred asked calmly, "Are there any more men coming, Mary?" "No, none that I know of." "Then 1 think I'll go home. With all due respect to you, Mary dear, I am be ing frightfully bored here. "Dortsn t John Millspaugh please vour queried Mary. Mildred stilled a yawn before sue an swered "He's too intense. I never could stand a jealous man." But I thought you loved him, retort ed Mary. "Now don't say you told me so, Mary, did love him sincerely for awhile, bet ter than any of the others, but 1 have grown tired of him." "1 really believe, Mildred, that you have no heart" "Just what he said Please don't scold, Mary, it worries me. I have just come from a most tiresome interview with him, in which he accused me of being soulless, and heartless, and everything disagreeable he could think of. And 1 think I'll go home." "Very well; I ought to be used to your caprices by this time, I suppose. When are you going?" asked Mary indifferently. "lomorrow morning. ion are very good to me, Mary, and I do love you," she added with a sudden, rare impulse of affection, and left the room. In a few minutes the door was pushed open and John Millspaugh came in and confronted her. "I have come to say that I must leave here tonight, Mrs. Nichols. I have loitered too long now." He was very pale, and there was a suppressed look on his face which she did not like, but she tried to smile as she said: "I am sorry you must go. I want to congratulate you upon your success. The plan worked beautifully, did it not?" "Yes, I have you to thank for the sug gestion, Mrs. Nichols. You were correct in your estimate of Miss Hamilton's character. It was a choice between her hejxt and mine, and her's was spared" And he left her abruptly. "If I ever," solemnly promised Mrs. Nichols to herself, "interfere in any more love affairs, I shall give myself up to some institution for the feeble minded" DRY WEATHER RECORD. Tho C S. Station at Dodge City Shows Some Interesting Figures. While the total rainfall recorded at Dodge City for the month of April was only .91 of an inch, or .70 below that month's average, it was but little less than that recorded for the same month in 1884-5-6, and is .51 greater than that of 1892. The excess in moisture so far for the year is 1.57 inches. The wind blew 11,159 miles during the month, and made a record of 61 miles an hour on the 15th. Observer Todd thinks that at times when the storm was in its worst spasms it must have attained a velocity of at least 75 miles per hour for a minute or sow On the 14ih corpulent people were sequestered in shadv nooks exer cising their palm leaf fans, while the mercury in the thermometer was sizzling on a level with the 90 degree mark.

In the hall proper, on either side of the stage was erected a picturesque bower heavily laden with boughs and branches of green foliage. The flower booth to the left, was presided over by Mits Blanche Dienst and Miss Lulu Man speaker. Here were several tables tilled with choice cut flowers. The tall rosos filled with the long stemmed graceful carnations, and the large bowls of hot house roses, behind which stood the two young ladies in evening gowns formed a beautiful picture.

To him It had come as an heirloom from a long line of ancestors. He prized it over all things. Truly this cup was a marvel of exqui site craftsmanship. The name of its maker was lost 'mid the mists of dead ages. In deed so magical seemed the 6kill of" its fashioning that some there were whn thought that it surely must be the work of a power more than mortaL It was formed wholly of jewels that were fastened together by some strange, subtle device, and it was shaped in a manner most curi ous. Its craftsman had taken a flower of peculiar beauty for his design. As Darab, on feast nights, held It, wine filled, before the light it seemed as if a many tinted cluster of precious stones was plunged Into a luminous sea a sea softly, sensuously red. The rare old grape juice, fostered to life in the long ago by the sun light, appeared to awake, to exult, to live again In the glow of a milder light. But none might drink from this cup but Darab Darab, the kingl Toghrul, the soothsayer, he of the white flowing beard and mystic, piercing eyes, averred that this cup ofttimes possessed strange powers. He said that if Darab gazed into the depths of the wine as it foamed and sparkled within its embrace he might see, as in pictures, happenings in farolf places, or he might see deeply in to the workings of the heart3 of those who 6tood near. This saying of the soothsayer had caused fear to enter into the minds of the cour tiers, and whenever Darab looked steadily into the cup all trembled, as none knew what next might happen. Again, it was whispered, by whom none could tell, that if it was destroyed Darab would die, and never more would one of his race reign as king. Thus was this cup of grave, of ominous import. This night was a night of feasting and grand revelry within the king's palace. Lights flashed and sheened. Wines of the rarest and choicest vintage flowed freely as water. Delicate viands, fruits and sub tle triumphs of cookery were spread upon the great tables. And there were gleam ings of countless gem incrusted, precious metaled goblets. Glorious clusters of flowers gave forth a sense lifting all per vading aroma. Varied and mingling col ors and hues raptured the eye. And here were women of a glory and a beauty indescribable. Silks shimmered. Eyes shone. And here was the cold, cruel glint of steel, for soldiers, accoutered, were at the feast. Sable slaves ministered to the wants of the feasters. Bracelets and anklets of ivory flashed as they flitted to and fro. King, satraps, women, courtiers nay, all were blended in a grand, joying uni tion. Like flro flamed all hearts. And musio rang. The moon's light was calm and clear. Stars twinkled, glistened in tho profound afar.' All was still. But in tho stillness there seemed to sleep some strange, mighty secret. And there came into the air a heaviness. "Ho! Toghrul, Toghrul I Thouof sooth saying fame, come hither come hither! I have gazed into this cup, and, lo, it has re vealed to mo the face aud thoughts of one who is a traitor one who plots against my life, mv throne, my all. Yonder he stands. Hel Hyder!" It was Darab who called out thus In a loud voice. A wicked, cruel smile played in his face as he pointed to Hyder, one of his satraps. The night had passed well on, and the revelry had become of the wildest. A silence as of the grave fell over all as the king made this accusation. They knew and feared what was coming. Nona dared speak but Toghrul. "Art sure, O king?" he asked. The soothsayer felt kindly toward the satrap. "Sure as that I am of woman born," Darab replied as he again looked Into the cup, "here is the face of yon unworthy servant. Now it is still and tells naught, but an instant ago as I gazed its lips mov ed, and from them I heard murmurings of revolt and treachery. He must die. This cup is my safeguard and guide. Ho, guards! Seize you traitor!" Hyder turned pale. Brave though he was, he trembled trembled because of one he loved and little ones. Yes, he was lost lost. Ofttimes had he known Darab to order men to the death because of things revealed to him in this strange cup. Hyder was seized, and death hung in the air, when a loud cry broke from Darab. Again ho was looking into the cup, bud this time his face was convulse'd with fear. "Ho! To arms, to arms!" he cried wild ly. "Soldiers, all, to arms! Foemen sur round the palace! Rebels are upon us!" Hyder was loosed, and in a flash the revel was turned to a wild, terror stricken confusion. Then was heard a low rambling in the air, and suddenly there came a fearful roll of thunder and a succession of blinding, destroying lightning flashes. The walls of the palace near tho king's throne fell. Clashing of arms and savage shouts were heard in the distance. Darab was standing with the cup raised aloft in his right hand. He was invoking aid from the powers above. Kear him stood tho soothsayer and Hyder with drawn sword. He was prepared to defend to the last gasp the king who had so cruel ly condemned him. Shrieks and cries were rending the air. Then came a lightning flash that was mightier and more blinding than all that had gone before. It struck the cup, shiv ering it to dust. Darab fell dead. It waa even as if the powers above had spoken. Into the palace rushed the enemy. And tumult reigned. Bart Kennedy. The Elephant Liked His Toddy. It Is a curious thing, and one which I have never heard satisfactorily explained, that animals and fowls, and almost every living creature upon which tho test has been made, take to intoxicants. Instead of mankind alone, as Byron had it, being distinguished from the brute creation by his ability"to get drunk, the exception is largely favorable to civilized mankind. I thought of this recently when present at a private experiment on savage and domes- tic animals. Without any preliminary edu cation the most savage animals, the tiger ani the lion, took to raw whisky with all the avidity of old topers. The elephant drank it by the bucketful and sighed for more. Any domestic animal will do the same. It upsets a good many preconceived ;notions. Pittsburg Dispatch. How He Put It.

8 STATE JOURtfALV WEDNESDAY EVENING MAY 15, 1895. 1BMQIS GRAND ARMY OF CONVERTS. Eight Thousand Six Hun dred and Forty-Five Vials Sold in Tope ka During the Past INiiie Days. Where can you find in the annals of medicine such a complete victory over the old school of nauseating and drastic remedies? A few. years ago Professor Munyon, a man of giant intellect, benev olent purposes and determined charac ter, unfolded his new school of medicine through the medium of the press to the public. He did not come with the flour ish of trumpets, proclaiming the wonders of his cures, but with calm and confident assurance of the curative powers of his remedies, advertised to give thousands of vials of Rheumatism Cure "absolutely free" to the public and requested them to be the jurors to decide up its merits. "What has the verdict been? One contin ued success throughout thi9 vast contin ent. Thousands of sufferers, who never knew what it was to be free from pain, bless the name of Munyon. the modern benefactor of the human race. Adver tising has its advantages in bringing it before the people, but the unquestion able merit of his preparations has stood the test for the past four years, and now Professor Munyon's name is a household word in every family in this country, proving without a doubt the efficacy of his cures and the honest victory he has won against bigotry and prejudice. To those who are still in doubt we have this to say: If you are careless about your own health, have mercy on the little cnes who know no better, and do not commit the sin of neglect by continuing to give remedies that will doubtless harm them in after life, when you have in your reach at a nominal price, cures that will effect the desired remit without in jury to the system.

Hatch, who is to have charge of the new Hutchinson reformatory when it is completed was in Topeka last even ing getting some stationery supplies for the institution. Mr. Hatch is not a very big man nor a very young man, but he is a very busy man and knows all about reformatories and jails. He was for several years war den of the Michigan state penitentiary. Mr. Hatch is brimming full of "reform atory" and has many plans that he wants to finish before he dies. A Topeka phy sician told him that he would have to quit smoking and that his heart was weak but Mr. Hatch is stubborn about any hurried demise and says he must live fifteen or twenty years yet. He looks as though he could do it though he admits to fifty -two years already. "We expect to have the institution, open by July," he said, "and will be able to accommodate two huudred prisoners; for they are prisoners. Reformatory is a nice name, but it's a jail just the sama "The buildings are not yet all com pleted but we expect to have them all right by winter. The prisoners will work on them and also farm the land, of which we have 640 acres. We also ex pect to build three other cell blocks be fore we are through. One is completed now or nearly so." The Hutchinson reformatory is to be an industrial prison for male prisoners between the ages of 15 and 25 and has juBt received an appropriation of $100,000 from the legislature. IT WAS WELL PLAYED. The Spooners Win Favor in "Little Lord Fauntleroy" Cecil Dances Tonight. The audience at the Grand last evening was not quite so large as Monday, but it was well pleased with the Spooners pre sentation of that pretty little drama, "Little Lord Pauntleroy," with Cecil Spooner as Cedric, The parts were well assigned. Charley Rummel, who can play most anything well, took care of the part of Haversham, the lawyer. Carlton Wells, played the earl very well; Mrs. Spooner and C. C. Palmer aa servants were all right. Cecii's Cedric was very good and Ed na May's Dearest was fully up to the standard in parts of the sort. B. 8.

Striking Scene In ihe Heart of Lon don. Londoit, May 5. Exactly at mid night I was lounging along the east side of the Strand toward Whitehall. My hands were stuck deep in my pock ets, my good old American corncob pipe was in my mouth, and I was indulging in the choice luxnry of thinking sadly and dreamily about nothing when sud denly the street was filled with a great blaring from brass instruments. The tolling of the midnight bells was 1 drowned, and I was brought to a full j realizing of things and of where I was. And then there came the sound of many j voices. People were singing a hymn a simple, moving hymn.' Yoa felt their j souls were speaking through it. j" I hurried along the Strand till I came 1 np with a large crowd of people who were pushing and jostling their way jn- i to Exeter hall. The Salvation Army was holding a "midnight rescue," a meeting chiefly for the benefit of the poor unfortunate girls who fill the Strand each night, offering themselves for sale to the men as they pass. "Come in, every one! Come inl Drunk or sober, come in!" a Salvation Army officer was shouting at the top of his voice. The privates, some singing, some playing instrumnts, stood along the steps leading into the hall. They were formed into two long rows through which the people were passing. A drunken man reeled and fell, and a pri vate picked him up and helped him in. Ragged "dossers," or tramps, half drunken swells about town, now and then a closely veiled lady of fashion at tracted through curiosity, and unfortu nate girls thronged in. Here were blend ing filth, elegance, degradation and re spectability. There was no sneering glance for either "dosser" or drab. All comers were on the same footing. Here was being practiced the glorious ideal democracy which the sublime Gal ilean had advocated that democracy which the cultured, refined church has dishonored. I went in myself, and this was the scene that met my eyes: On a great high platform at least 500 men and women clad in the uniform of the Salvation Army were Einging, playing instru ments, clapping their hands, exhorting, stamping and crying out to God to save the souls of the audience. It was a car nival, a frenzy of exhortation. The rows of seats upon the platform went up one above the other like those in the gallery of a theater, so that the eye was able to take in all the movements at once. I felt no sense of discordance through it all. The unition of their wills upon the one idea gave balance, harmoniousness, to the ensemble. The power of this will force was tremendous. It caused a trem bling of the lips and a feeling of a chok ing sensation. I folt this myself I, a cool analyst and I looked around mo and saw that the audience, which must have numbered between 3,000 arid 4,000, were feeling it too. Those of them that had come in either to scoff or out of curiosity or to look on critically were influenced and made serious by the great wave of religious fervor that came from the platform. It was the most effective religious ceremonial. I ever witnessed. Its lack of splendor, of tone and coloring and magic of high art was more than atoned for by its earnest ness. WorKiugman was appealing to workingman outcast was exhorting out cast. Here was no refined, well groomed minister 'talking of a Christ whom he did not understand. In the middle of the platform was a great leather covered chair, in which sat an old man. His hair and beard were long and white; his eyes were large and piercing; his fore head was broad and high. When he turned his head, he showed the clear cut eaglo profile which denotes adminis trative faculty, knowledge of meii and power of concentration. It was General Booth. As I looked at him I thought of pic tures I had seen of the simple, grand old Jewish patriarchs. Here was one of them who had sprung to the present life to work amid the mire and misery and filth and slough of the inferno of our civilization Hero at the dead of night, in this Titan Babylon, was an old man, Jewish of face, holding forth the hand for help and brotherhood to the Magda- lenes, the poor lost souls that wander! He was doing as did the glorious Mas ter, the divine Jaw! Soon a rough looking bearded man was speaking. He was a collier from the north of England, strong and vigor ous of frame. His voice was hoarse, his delivery uncouth, but he had something to tell and was telling it. Nice, hair splitting, bewildering subtleties were not in his line. And he was in dead earnest. He wasn't thinking how not to offend his audience or of the fact that I he was only getting f 10,000 a year when he ought to be getting 10,500. I thought of the rough, simple ..fisher men, the disciples of the Master. It was the first time in my life that the fact was fully brought home to me that a man might know absolutely nothing of the art of oratory and still be most tell ing and effective in the addressing of an audience. Here was a man, whom I learned afterward could neither read nor write, holding people spellbound. Now a woman was speaking a wo man who had been an outcast I She, too, was effective, but in a different way. Her manner of delivery was graceful and tender thoroughly, beautifully womanly. She was telling her sisters "my sisters" that Jesus would save them; that he had not forgotten them; that at this midnight hour he sorrowed and wept for them; that he had given his blood to wash them till they were "whiter than snow." Beautiful words! I thought to myself that no one, how ever cold and cynical, could afford to look sneeringly upon these people. No would be thinker or know all could say that their mission was a foolish and nseless one. They were the poor appeal ing to the poor and helping them in a Uhristlike spirit of camaraderie.

'I just love these evenings with literary people," said a handsomely dressed wo man, as the crowd was filing out of the First Christian church after the enter tainment last night. It was a uovel entertainment, as well as a very interesting one. All the selec tions, except the music, had been written by Kansas people, and nearly all by To peka people. The church was filled and the audience was generous with its ap plause. W. C Campbell acted as master of ceremonies and introduced the modest authors. He was able to do this well because he is something of an author himself. The Alhambra mandolin club opened the entertainment and of course were recalled. Then Miss Roberta Akers re cited the poem by Prof. Ellsworth of the Kansas State Normal school, entitled, Pa's Soft Spot." Many of the people in the audience had heard of the poem, but few had heard it and the recitation was greatly enjoyed. "A Symposium on Spring" was what the next number wa3 named. It was a collection of verses by people who have the spring poetry habit and they were read by Miss Ethel Palmer, a pretty girl who knows just how spring poetry should be read. The following is by W. H. Bradbury of Topeka: Greeu is the growing grass; but greener still Th' aspiring poet who would dare To give expression to the thoughts that thrill His bosom when spring flowers appoar. Albert Bigelow Paine sent the follow ing verae when the entertainment was first talked of: Today is the 20th day of March, And snow upon everything. For winter has put on a spotless robe lo sit in the lap of spring. Prof. W. II. Carruth of State Univer sity submitted a three stanza poem. The last stanza was as follows: Every year comes the springtime When winter's away. But man in his splendor Has only one May; The swauows that leave us Come back as of yore. And man only deparcing Keturus never more. The last on the list was by W.C Camp bell which he had named "vernal Verse." One stanza was as follows: Bluejays. gay, are loudly singing Singing songs no "jay" could sing: Buds and bull-frogs now are springing Springing in the gentle spring. The "Symposium" put the audience in good humor to appreciate the next num ber, a short story by Mrs. A. D. Gray called "The Coming Out of Cynthy." This was an excellent bit of fiction by a well known Topeka writer and was very well read. It was a love story in dialect the heroine being a pretty girl who successfully patched up a church feud at her "coming out" by marrying the son of her fathers deadly enemy. Mr. H. L. Shirer was to have sung his prize tenor solo but he was not present and Mr. Vincent Graham who was to have appeared later snng his bass solo, ''Lord God of Abraham," He responded to an encore. Dr. Roby's poem,"Only a Tramp," was considered one of the best things in the entertainment. It told a pathetic story of a tramp who was killed by a train while hunting for work. Mrs. Myra Williams-Jarrell then read her story, "A Twisted Affair," which is published in fuil on another page. Miss Winifred Wagner's piano solo was of a very high order, and she was recalled. Harry E. Mills' poem, "The Resubmis sionist's Story," was read by Prof. A. E. Palmer of Washburn college. Miss Anna Campbell and Mrs. J. W. Going played their prize piano duet. The programme was closed by the reading of Rev. C. M. Sheldon's story "Six of Him." It waa the story of an overworked preacher, and sounded as if it might have been a chapter from the writer's life. The minister dreamed that there had by some means become six of him, and he told how the work had been divided and of the complica tions which followed. He found but that the six were no more able to do the work than one. The Topeka Bicycle Riding school, Metropolitan hall, is under tha direction of O. Townsend.

He wasn't exactly obliged to do it, and didn't improve his looks in the least by' baring his nether ex tremities to the invigorating influences of the Kansas zephyrs, but he chose to go without them in order that he might be permitted eventually to wear silken hose. He told his followers that they were paying twice or three three times as much for their sox as they ought (which was a fact) and that in consequence he was obliged to go barefooted, (which was a whopper.) They believed him and made him an A V El Which being properly translated means "money chaser."

ALBERT GRIFFIN'S BOOK. He Has One in Press in New York It is On Finance. Albert Griffin, the well known writer, who as a Republican during the cam paign last year made free silver speech es at Populist meetings all, over Kansas, has written a book on the financial ques tion. The title of Mr. Griffin's book is "Which" and in it he discusses the mon ey question along the same line' as that used in Coin's Financial School. Mr. Griffin does not, however, confine his book to the discussion of the silver question, but attacks the banking system which he says is responsible for all the ills of the people. Mr. Griffin in his book declares that there can be no real prosperity in this country until the bank ing system is changed. Mr. Griffin has now gone to Philadel phia with his manuscript to make ar rangements for the publication of "Which."
