W.C.T.OJSLIBEBL Catholic and Hebrew Women Invited to Meet With It. Miss Willard Brought About This Act of Liberalness, TOOK A UliOAU Sl'AJy. 1 Priest and Rabbi Had Welcomed Her Many Times. Should She Not Go Half Way in Greeting? Baltimore, Oct. 2a Mis3 Frances Willard carried the W. C. T. U. conven tion with her today in a movement to in clude in fraternal relations Catnolics and Hebrews The que9tion arose on the following resolution: Resolved, That Catholic and Hebrew women should be invited to send frater nal delegates from their annual conven tions to ours and to establish branches of the White Ribbon society within their ownborders. One of the delegated suggested that it might not bo quite' consistent fur the "Women's Christian Temperance union" to ask Hebrews to affiliate. This arous ed Mi93 Wiilard. She said: "I want to recognize these two denomina tions, because in places where I have been and especially in the south, they exhibited sympathy in our w ork and have extended every courtesy. "It has especially touched my heart that in meetings where I have presented the work of this organization among thoe who have welcomed me to the platform have been the Catholic priest and the Hebrew rabbi. "They knew what I came for; they knew what I represented and if they were broad enough to go half way and extend the hand of greeting should my hand be so small and withered as not to accept the clasp? 1 want to welcome them to us if they want to come':" The resolution was adopted. BURNED lil GASOLINE. Terrifying ami l'iitnful Accident to Mrs. A. Young: This Muruing. The amn and hand? of Mrs. A. Young were quite b;idly burned this morning by a gasoline stove explosion.

She was pouring in tnecil from a glass can when it slipped from her hands and fell upon the stove. The oil spread over the burners, w hich were still hot and the explosion fol lowed. The sleeves o Mrs. Young's dress took fire. She ran to the only door leading from .the room and in her hurry to jerk it open pulledthe knob off of it. Being unable to get the door open, she plunged her hands and arms into a tub of water, extinguishing the d imes that were burning her. She then jumped through a window near the stove and ran around the house and into the front part of the house and got her children out. Several men answered her cries and one carried the flaming stove out and threw it into the yard. 'Ihe house did not catch fire and the department w as not calied out.

Collins. "What the peo ple of Topeka need to do is to wake up. There ia not a bit of sense in the people going to Kansas City and St. Louis every year for a little relaxation. "The trouble with Topeka has been there have been too many old fogies and this accounts for the way things have been going. But I believe the time has come when a carnival in Topeka will be a success. We cau have a week of fes tivities just as well as not and the people will come from all over the state and some of the adjoining states. "Kansas people are loyal. They would rather come to Topeka to attend festivi ties than to go to Kansas City. The trouble has ben that we have had noth ing to offer thetn. They wanted to come to Topeka, but had to go to Kansas City or some other place else, because there was nothing here to attract them. "In St. Louis every year thousands and thousands of people gather. There is a parade in the afternoon and something attractive at night and the merchants of St. Louis reap profits of thousands of dollars. "In St. Louis the city furnishes the il lumination?. Every year immense arches for illumination of the streets are erected at the expense of the city and they are kept lighted until 11 o'clock at night and the city can afford to do it. There is no reason in the world why Topeka could not do this on a scale proportionate to our city. Our city is just as progressive as any of them. The trouble is that we have got into a rut and it seems hard to get out. "Thi3 must be no sectional affair. There must be no dissension. The peo ple of ail classes must get together to make the affair a success and it will be. One man is just as much interested in it as another and every citizen of Topeka must be taught that the success of the affair depends in a measure upon him. "The first of the year is not too soon to make an organization and I am sure that the people will take hold of the scheme and enter the organization. I will do all I can personally to make the affair a success but I can do nothing un til I get this Million club train oil my hands." TO BE OPEN SATURDAY. The Million Club Car to lie aliowa to the Toprku Public. J. S. Collins, president of the Shawnee County Million club, says that he is de voting all his time to getting the Shaw nee count j display ready. "We have a freight car." said he, "because it is much better than a baggage car. There will be much more room and it will be easier to arrange the display. Then there is another important thing. The railroad company u ill ttilow us to put anything on the out side of the car we choose but you cannot' drive a tack in a passenger coach. There will not be an inch of the exterior of our car that will show. We iiiteud to cover it with grasses. Then we have steps which cau be let down to the ground wheuever a stop is made. "We hope to have the car ready to be thrown open for inspection to every one on Saturday. Every bit of the products in the car were raised in Shawnee coun ty, and we will let the people in the east know where it comes from." J. C. WILSON'S MOTHER.

While at Lavrence Mrs. Wilson at tended a meeting of the local W. C. T. U. and was greeted by a large number 6t ladies. Mrs. Wilson has for years been interested in temperance work and prior to the passage of the prohibitory law in Kansas was a crusader. The Lawrence World suys: "Mrs. Wil son traveled 3,000 miles in her carriage and held over 3'JO moetings in the inter est of the prohibitory law during the eleven months preceding its adoption. She was 8J years old in May, and in Au gust she was sent for by the Friends Yearly meeting to take charge of tem perance work in the state of Ohio. She held fourteen meetings in eighteen days, sometimes riding twenty miles a day in a carriage. She now has charge of the Indiana Friends social purity work." FROM THE SOUTH SEAS.

Manager Crawford has booked the Ha waiian band for the Grand on Wednes day afternoon and evening, Nov. 20, It is now touring the southern part of the state. The band is composed of forty-two native Hawaiian?. Besides being inter esting because of their nationality, the members are said to be musicians of ability. They played five weeks in Kau nas City and six in Chicago, which would indicate that it is a strong combination. A r lira to Operation. Dr. II. B.

Closes the Public Schools in North Topeka. Pays No Attention to the Foolish Health Board. SCHOOLS STAY SHUT Until DiphtheriaHasPractically Disappeared in X. Topeka. Board Will Use Its Own Judg ment. Hereafter And Close Other Schools in the City, if Necessary. The city school board has decided to place no further dependence in the ob stinate and foolish health board at pre sent, and last night decided to close the schools in North Topeka. where the' diphtheria epidemic has been severest. Although the deaths have not been so numerous during the last few days as they were a week ago, the general fear and alarm among parents has been so great that the school board has decided that it will be better for all concerned to shut up the schools in North Topeka uutil the disease has practically disap peared. It has become so widespread through the negligence of th health board, however, that it may take con siderable time to stamp it out. The Topeka board of education met last evening at the high school rooms and adopted a resolution to cloie the Grant and Quincy schools until such a time as it seemed advisable to open them again. This includes all the white schools in the First ward. One colored school where there have been no cases of sick ness is still open. The move of the board was taken without consulting the board of health and is undoubtedly a wise step. The decreased attendance at these schools made the longer keeping of them open a farce and also a hardship on those who wero away. After a time, when the dis ease is crushed out, the schools may open again and all children take an equal start in the work. Besides, the danger of communication is greatly lessened now that the pupils are no longer in contact with one another. The board of education should care fully watch the progress of tha disease on the' south side of the river and if it shows symptoms of iocreaso, as it did on the north side, take prompt steps to at once stop its spread by closing the other school buildings. Just now there is a lull in the disease, the absence of smaller pupils doing much to prevent its outbreak in the school house?. The following call was issued by President Jesse Shaw yesterday: "There will be a called meeting of the board of education at 7:30 this evening, October 22, for the purpose of consider ing the advisabiiity of closing the schools situated in North Topeka, together with any other business of like character that may lawfully come before said meeting." 'The roll call showed Messrs Miller. Priddy, Beck, Powell, Wilder and Shaw present. This was Mr, Wiider's first appearance at a board meeting, and those present shook hands with him while he was as signed to the vacant seat of J. B. Thomas. Mr. Beck introduced a resolution fav oring the closing of the Topeka tchools until such a time as the disease and pan ic now existing would have lessened or disappeared. Dr. Powell seconded the motion, and moved an amendment that the words "schools of North iopeka" be substituted for "city schools'' and Mr. Miller seconded the amendment. The original mo. ion of .Mr. Beck was then voted dowu and Dr. Powell pre sented a resolution favoring "the closing of tne Grant and Cjuincy school?, it being deemed advisable by the board owing to local conditions," This was voted down and a motion to adjourn was lost. Edward Wilder then presented the following resolution, which was carried; Mr. Beck alone voting in the negative. "On account of local conditions in certain districts in North Topeka the attendance at Grant and Quincy street schools has diminished to such an extent as to seem to make it advisable to close these two schools for a short time in order that the relative standing of the pupils may be maintained as nearly as possible." One member, who came late, during some remarks said: "We must word this resolution very cau'iously and be conservative in our action so that the Journal wiil not find out what we sny and poke fun at us." Immediately be hind the speaker sat a Jouh.val reporter and the rest of the members enjoyed a hearty laugh. No mention was made in regard to the salaries of the teacners of the ciosed schools during the vacation, but Super intendent Davidson said their pay will continue right along. This action of the school board is a direct rebuke to tha board of health and the mayor who have stubbornly refused to act in this matter. It will be interest ing to know how many mothers will cast their votes next time for an executive officer who is so blinded to the interest of the home as to refuse to move in the matter of a terrible epidemic even after there have been 27 deaths from it he Diphtheria Situation. Owing to the great care observed bv the parents of children in North Topeka and the absence from close communica tion in schools the diphtheria ap pears to be abating where it has raged eo fiercely for the past few weekp. Last evening at 5 o'clock the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Weid ner, of 229 Branner street, died of diph theria and was buried today at 11 o'clock. This makes the 28th death" from the dis ease since it first appeared. CASH AND MARRIAGE. It waa Ilka a clap of thunder from a cloudless sky. We wore speaking of the failure of Gos hawk Guldridge. Goshawk Guldridge were a firm of bankers in Hobblogate, where thoir naino was a tower of credit. "Governments" might decline and greenbacks fluctuate, but Goshawk Guldridgo were always at par. They might have gone bail for a brace of millions without ever being asked to "jus tify." There was something in the very curve of Goshawk's nose and in the broad folds of Guldridge's vest that savored of solvency. "Have you heart the news?" "What news!'" ''Goshawk Guldirdfrc" "For heaven's sake, speak!" Smashed! debts a million assets nothing partners .ibsconded Seth Dodge caught it in two directions. Thq loss his own -money was bad enough, ,l(it it wns too provoking to soo Kate Orvillo's, on which he had long cast tender glances, go the same luckless road. He fairly etirsed old Orvillo's stupidity in trusting his nicco's entire fortune in tho very hands in which hi? had himself trust ed and lost tho bulk of his own. Seth hud fallen in love with Kate at first sight of her grandfather's will, which l:o ha-d rend over for amusement in tho pro bata ollioo one day. From that document he learned that she was heiress to a cool hundred thousand, In her own right, which her uncle, Walter Orville, was appointed trustee to keep tiil her marriage or majority. Tho money, Seth know, was snug in the vault of Gos hawk Guldridge. He lost no time in declaring tho state of his feelings, which Undo Walter seemed to reciprocate if Kate didn't. Wo won't Kay positively that Archie Warhuin had anything; to do with the coolness of Seth's reception on her part. Apparently ho hadn't, for when Seth began his visits Archie's suddenly ceased, and Kato tossed her pretty head and didn't seem to care. What with Uncle Walter's backing, his own perseverance and Archie Wariiam's demoralized retreat, Seth felt his chances wero by no means desperate. Ho ceuld afford to wait. He was not an impatient lover. His own finances we:x easy, i:iid as long as Kate's money was ea cure there was no need of haste. But a terrible awakening came that day when men rushed to and fro, startling each other vvith the announcement: "Goshawk Guldridge have failed!" With the depletion of his own pocket de parted all hope of its repletion from Kate's. Tc withdraw before acceptance a matri monial offer, the "consideration" of which, in le!;al parlance, had failed struck him as the first thing to bo done under the cir cumstances, and for "that purpose Seth presented himself without delay beforo Unelo Walter, whom he found at his office looking as serene as if nothing had hap petrd the imperturbable old stoic! suppose you've hoard the news?" ho began. Uncle Walter had heard it. But Seth never shirked a duty to him self. With much circumlocution and by ways that were indirect ho managed at last to mr.ke himself understood by Uncle AVal ter. The old gentleman didn't seem much taken aback. There was a touch of con tempt in liis tone as he thankod his visitor for tlu very unnecessary pains he had tak en, and when lie bowed Seth out tho latter felt- considerably lower than before he en tered. UdcIo Walter got home early that overl ing. If he was angry at fiudin;? Archie Warham there, he didn't show it. Kate looked as happy as though sho hadn't lost a penny, but had found instead a treasure worth all tho world. "Don't mind it, uncle," she cried. "You eee I don't, and I've heard all about It." "And I suppose you've heard it too?" sr,id Uncle Waller, turning sharply on Archie as if suspecting that he, too, had tome to recant. "Now don't be angry, uncle, dcr.r, coaxed Kato. "I'd have been glad to mar ry Seth to please you, but" "Confound Seth Dodge!" "But, you see, I couldn't love him," Kate continued, "and I I did loveArcme, and and" Uncle Walter didn't break out in a pas sion, and that encouraged Kate to go on. "And Archie has asked mo to bo his, without any money, and and I've prom ised, and iie says you shall live with us." It. was a quiet little wedding, that of Archie and Kate. It came off one bright morning, while all Hobblegate was too much agog with the recent financial shock to think of anything else. When Kate kissed Undo Walter goodby, before starting on her unpretending wed ding tour, tho eld gentleman slipped a folded paper into her hand. She opened it with an exclamation of surprise. It was a cheek on one of the first city banks for 5100,000! "You see," said Uncle Walter. "I'd a lurking suspicion that all wasn't right with thoso scamps, and so cheeked out your money throe days before they failed." About the same time another wedding took place. Seth Dodge kept his losses to himself, and without loss of time ottered Ills heart and hand to Hiss Elvira Fenoose. She accepted both at, siyht. Aliss Klvira was a maiden of forty odd au tumusand not to be called liimctomo. Seth knew her to be the possessor of a goodly batch of five-twenties, fi'uiu which she de rived a handsome income by cutting off the coupons. The morning after tho wedding Seth hinted delicately, of course that cirenm stauces over which he had no control had left him a little short of cash at present in fact, and not to put too fine a point upon it, iVuffedly hard up. Elvira stopped his mouth with kisses, edging in between them: "Never mind, hubby, dear. Why, that rascally Goshawk Guldridge ran oil with all of my bonds, but it doesn't worry mo a bit, now that I've got you, you know." New York Press. litlfxing Charters.

The President Preaches a Ser mon on Selfishness. PATRIOTISM DEFINED. It is Where All Strive for the General Welfare. Not Where Private Advantage Destroys Public Good. Atlanta, Oct. 23. No brighter or balmier sun ever shone over this particu lar portion of the southland than that which dawned on this morning, presi dent's day at the Cotton States and Inter national exposition. The thousands of visitors landed in the city yesterday ear ly swelled throngs oa tho streets to im mense proportions and locomotion soon became a difficult matter. In accordance with the carefully laid plans of tha ex position management the exercises of the day were ail concentrated within the ex position grounds. The presidential party spent the morn ing quietly at iheAdagon where they remained until 11 o'clock when they were driven rapidly to the exposition grounds without any parade whatever. Inside the gates the military was al ready gathered, including the Fifth regi ment of United States regulars com manded by Col. W.' L. Kellogg. The troops paraded around the board walk within the fair enclosure and were re viewed by the president from a stand in front of the government building. After the review the president deliv ered an addres. He was introduced by i'resident Collier, of the exposition com pany, who referred to him as the man who had been entrusted with the duty of wiping out sectional issues aud lines, lie also said of President Cleveland: "He of all men in this country should be best able to recognize the voice of the people, for unto him it has been shown in. mure emphatic terms than to any man of our generation." President Cleveland's appearance at the front of the stand was the signal for an outburst of applause from the multi tude. Tho president said: ".Mr. President On my own behalf and for my co-laborer3 in the executive branch of our government who have ac companied me, I thank you for your kind words of greeting. We are here to congratulate you and your associates upot. the splendid success of the exposi tion you have set on foot and upon the evidences you have gathered, chiefly il lustrative of southern enterprise, south ern industry and southern recuperation. "But we are here also to claim a share in the pride of j our achievement No por tion of our country men, wherever found, can exclusively appropriate the glory arising from these surroundings. They are proofs of American genius and in dustry, which are the joint possession of all cur people, and they represent tri umphs of American skill aud ingenuity in which nil our citizens from the high est to the humblest have a proprietary right. "While my fellow citiKens of Georgia aud her neighboring states may felici tate themselves to the fullest extent upon such evidences as are here found of the growth and prosperity of the interests and enterprises in which they are especially coucerned, I cannot be de prived of the enjoyment afforded by tue reflection that the work they have done emphasizes in the sight of the world the immense resources and indomitable larift of the people of the United States. it seems to uie the thought may be suggested as not inappropriate to ihis occasion, that what we see about us is an outgrowth of another exposition inaug urated on American soil more th;u a century ago, when a new nation was ex hibited to the civilized world, guaranteed aad protected by a constitution which was ordained and established by the people of the United States wtth the de clared Durpose of promoting their gen eral welfare and securing the blessings of liberty tp, themselves and their pos terity. "The success which has attended this exposition of products and manufactures is not altogetuer due to the quality of the soil or character of the peopra in any of the contributing states, but it rests largely upon the fact that these states are members of a beneficently governed nation, whose natural resources and advantages everywhere have beeu developed aud improved by the influence of free institutions, aud whose people have Deen stimulated and encouraged by the blessings of personal liberty. "A contemplation of the benefits vouch safed to us by our government easily re minds us of the importance of a hearty and united co-operation in their support nod protection. Wo should lovingly watch and guard it, not only because we are recipients ox its precious gilts but for its on sake and because it has been put in our hands in sacred keeping, to prove to the world that man can bo trusted with self-government. "We shall walk in the path of pa triotic duty, if remembering that our free institutions were established to pro mo'e the general welfare we strive for those thiugs whicn bsuefit aii our peopia aud each of us is content to receive from a common fund his share of the prosper ity thus contributed. We shall miss our duty and forfeit our heritage if, ia nar row selfishness, we are heedless of the general welfare and struggle to wrest from the government private ad vantages which can only be gained at the expense of our fellow countrymen. "1 hope I may therefore be permitted in conclusion, to suggest as a most im portant lesson taught by this occasion, the absolute necessity to our national health aud welfare, and consequently to our individual happiness as cit izens, of a careful discrimination in our support of policies and in our ad vocacy of political doctrines between those which prompt the promotion of the pablie welfare and those which simplv seem to etve sectional or selfish interests.- 'Tf we are to eDjoy the' blessings our government so heartily and justly be stowed we shall secure them in good time by cultivating a spirit of broad American brotherhood and insisting upon such conduct as will, within the spirit of the golden rule, promote the general welfare." ST AUK WHISPERS. A great many plays are making a strong feature of "heart interest" now adays. Charles A. Gardner's play "The Prize Winner" which will be seen here on Friday night, is said to abound in it. The scenes aro laid in the Austrian Tyrol and the scenery is said to be a re production of photographic views of this picturesque country. The naturalness of the piece is heightened by the intro duction of Tyroliau singers and dancers The winning of the prize at a "Turn fest" by a heroic German is the central setting of the piece, and about this a story of iove and devotion is written. "Karl, the sweet singer" will give a number of his recent compositions. It is said that Jule Waiters, who used to play the tramp in "Side Tracked," once tave a real tramp a dollar for a dirtj-, oid baod.ina handkerchief, so as to have the real thintr. lie probably ran the risk of catching "the real thing" from it. Walters is not with the com pany this year, and the lead is taken bv E. A. .Murphy, who is said to be clever. It comes to the Grand, Saturday, matinee and evening. The smll comedian with the "Daz zier" company, which will be at the Grand Monday night, has been dividing the time of his summer vacation between fishing aGd working up new "business" for his part in the play. He is thought to have evolved some new ideas while angling and his new quips and cranks and wanton wiles are said to be funny. His name is Bobby Ralston. The rest of the performance is said to be good. ROYALISTS IN BliAZIL. S.-il to ISe Plotting Itetitora! ion of tha Montirchy Tho Report Denied. Kio de Janeiro, Oct. 23. It is cur; rently reported here that the heretofore secret movement which is said to have beeu going on in favor of the restoration of the monarchy under Prince Pierre of Saxe-Coburg, is assuming larger propor tions. The agitators are reported to have k-come emboldened by their success and to be attracting adherents, openly advo cating Prince Pierre's candidacy. Tho latter is a son of Prince Louis Augusts of Saxe-Coburg and Princess Leopoldine of Brazil, lie was born in Rio Janeiro in 1863. London, Oct 23. The officials of the Brazilian embassy here say that Prince Pierre of Saxe-Coburg is in a lunatic asylum in Austria and there is no found ation for the report of a movement in Brazil in favor of the restoration of the monarchy. BURNED THE UPPER S TO lil" Fire I.nt Kvptiiug Destroyed Part of a Ro8til-nc at 128 Linculn. The tire last night was at 122S Lincoln Btreet in a house owned by Mrs. George Chesney, a colored woman. It caught in the roof and as the building is outside of the fire limits, there was a delay in reaching the fire with hose. A part of the building was saved, however. Almost the entire upper story was destroyed and the contents of the building badly dam agod. Fir,e Marshal Wiimarth places the loss at $500, This is another in stance in which the need of more fira hydrants is badly felt While the case to compel the water company to extend its mains is dragging its way through the courts, the buildings of the people who are so unfortunate as to live outsidp thr charmed circle are, being de etroyc d. It is surprising that the people who live in the outlying portions of the city do not object to paying taxes for the support of the lire department until they are given proper fire protection. ROSS IS LET GO. It ia Ma le to Appear That He Dtd Not Stpal tile IticyclF. II. M. Ros, who took a bicycle and aUo barber tools from Langhari!s barber shop was today released, Judge Furry having decided that he was not guilty at least of attempting to steal the bicycle of J. E. Poorman Co. of East Eighth street. Letters .were intrcduced by the attor ney of Ross showing that he had written back to Poorman from Missouri ottering to buy the wheel. Also that he had writ ten in addition that he was only going to be gone a few days longer and would pay a dollar a day for the use of the bicycle. On this showing he was roleased. Chief Wilkerson has made two trips to Kansas City and one to Slater, 31 o., looking, for Ross, and all at a cost to Shawnee county. These facts oug-ht'to have been made known before all this expense was incurred if Ross was inno cent. Mr. Langhart, the barber, recov ered most of the articles stolen. OUARKEL OVER A HEARSE. Lrw ui t Over a Vehicle That Mot People Dun'c Want Around. A hearse was in controversy today in the district court. A black hearse which J. T. Barkiey purchased in 137!) while in business in Ohio, was taken on a mort gage by J. M. Knight in December, 1893. It seems that R. D, Ingersoll owned an interest in the hearse, for he brou-rht suit Bgiiinst Knight to replevin the prop erty. The trial today, however, devel oped into a suit between Barkiey and Knight. Mr. Barkiey said that the hearse was put in as one ui the items tif stock without hi3 knowledge when the mo't i;ie was given. The wagon was taken by the mortgagor while it was at tha re pair shop.

Chairman Carter is non-commital on the subject of where tho next national convention should be held, but it is thought he will not opposa the selection of San Francisco. PUT OUT RAD MEMBERS. Churcli Iilembarft tVlio Sin Should Be Xig cipllneil, Says K.v, 11. Wake. At the meeting of the Topeka district M. E, conference this morning. Rev. R. Wake read a paper entitled, "Do wa need any tests of membership which may bo applied without the process of a church trial?" Rev. Mr. Wake said that in his opinion it would be a wholesome thing for the church if some people were occasionally put out of the church. He said: have seen a church member staggering drunk on the streets and others have been guilty of playins cards aad playing cards on Sunday, These ought to be put out of the church for as iong as they are in the church they think tasy are better than the pebpls., outside and they ought to bo put out' so that they would realize that they 'are sinners." Rev. C. Holinan read a paper en titled "General Superintendency or Diocesan Episcopacy Which?" It was a discussion as to which is the better plan, to have tho bishops settled over a special territory as in the Episcopal church or to have them traveling over it all as in the M. E church. Mr. Holman favored tho plan of the Methodist church because he said Vt made the bishops familiar with the world and made them broader mind ed men.

I have lost four months in training and allowing myself to be dragged from one point to another. I am satisfied now this man Fitzsimmons does not want to fight, and will not be here to meet me.

Interference in Politics by Mor mon Church Condemned. KEEP THE OLD TICKET. The Objectionable State Ticket is Not Withdrawn. Democrats Urged to Read and Support the Declaration. Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 23. The Democratic State convention met yes terday morning in pursuance of a spe cial call issued by the State committee for the purpose of deciding upon some plan of action in the matter of the in terference of tiie Mormon church in the political affairs of the Territory. The immediate cause of this extraor dinary meeting was the action of the presidents, Joseph F. Smith and George Q. Cannon, of the Mormon church, who, at a meeting of the priesthood, recently censured two members f the church, IS. II. Roberts and Most Thatcher, for accepting nominations for Congress and the United States Senate on the Demo cratic ticket without asking permission of the church authorities. The con vention w.is composed of a majority of M..rrnom, but they, a3 well as the Gentile members, were loud and al most savage in their denunciation of the action of Cannon and Smith in the priesthood meeting. A considerable number of the mem bets favored withdrawing the Demo cratic ticket altogether and organizing an anti-statehood party. At the evening session the commit tee on address presented a very lengthy report, the larger part of which was a review of the religion and politics of the people of Utah from the hrst settlement of ths valley up to the present time. The address closes as follows: We declare the truth to be: That man may worship his Maker as his conscience dictates. That no state nor political body has the right to interfere with this great privilege. That man's first allegiance, politi cally, is to his country. That no church, ecclesiastical body, nor spiritual adviser shouid encroach upon the pbliticai rights of the indi vidual. That in a free country, no man, nor body of men, can with safety to the state, ue the name or the power of any religious sect or socie y to influ ence or control the elective franchise. That no citizen, by reason of his as sociation with aty chnrch. can be absolved from his duty to the state, either in times of war or ti.nes of peace, without the consent of the state. That all men should be, and of right are. free to think, free to act, free to speak, and fre to vote, witho it' fear, molestation, intimidation or undue in fluence. We, therefore, in the most solemn manner, say that we will not be dic tated to. interfered with or hindered in our political duties by those selected to minister to us the consolations of Gospel. We call unon the Democrats of Utah, men, women and children, and all other people who -ymr-athize with our efforts to secure political freedom, to assemble in every hamlet through out the territory cn the evening of Wednesday, October 30, at their usual places of meeting, then and there to reid this declaration, to listen to such remarks as may be properly made in connection tnerewith, and to solemnly cons.crate themselves, their efforts, their property and all that they hold dear, if need be, to this cause of hu man liberty. And this cause, with the help of the One who holds the universe in the ho'lo.v of His hand, we will ever ad vance and maintain. Mexican Quarantine Raised. El Paso, Texas, Oct. 23.

Products of Garden and Field Given to Thousands of Visitors. Rocky Ford. Colo, Oct. 20: Ever fertile in resources for attracting atten tion aud eager to welcome any device which promises a day-of gayety, the west has evolved a new and unique plan which surpasses all that have gone be fore for displaying its products and bringing together a crowd of spectators who shall have reason to remember the occasion. It is by means of a certain day being set aside for free distribution, to all who come of the yield of gardta and field. This little town on the south eastern plains of Colorado has set the fashion with a "watermelon day." V?hich is the most attractive gathering of the lato summer season in the whi s Centennial State. The soil in the vicin ity is adapted peculiarly to watermelon culture, and with the careful and thor ough cultivation given the farmers veri tably produce the vegetable by the thou sand. Great, luscious, dolectable mel ons they are, too, with the real old Georgia flavor and a color which makes the lover of the juicy product long to bury his face in the rich red interior. They are so plentiful as to be a drug on the market; hence in September the festival. On "watermelon day" the farmers donate all the finest melons raised dur ing the year. Wagon after Wagon comes in through the clear early morning, de positing its load in the great heap stead ily growing in an inclosed space, where wide lunch counters and tables are ready for the expected throng. The READT FOB A WATERMELON FEAST. crowd is soon ready. From all the neigh boring towns the people drive over for a day of jollity and feasting. From Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs come excursion trains, each loaded to the platforms with eager sightseers. Thousands of visitors are in the place, apd the grove is filled with a good na tured, jostling crowd. Around the melon Leap where 20,000 or more of the finest specimens are piled is feet high, flanked by huudreds of mealy muskmelons, a score of stout waiters, each armed with a huge knife, take their places. Th9 ceremonies open without any formality. Cleave, clash, slash go the knives, one stroke laying open a huge melon and a following one cutting it into quartets. There is a rush for the counters, aud the visiters seize their quota and retire, laughing, to en joy the bounty so lavishly dispensed. Hour after hour the waiters keep up their task, being relieved as the knives are wielded in weary hands. "Anybody else want a piece? Don't be bashful!" calls the master of cere monies. But there are no more re sponses. Everyone of the multitude has had his or her liil,,and it is even diffi cult to give away tho few whole melons remaining. When the orators of the day have end ed their speeches, when the excursion ists have departed and the dnsty wag havo pulled out for home, what a wreck is presented by the desercej ground It is literally paved with mel on rinds, and it seems impossible that a human gathering could have been re sponsible for the appearance of the park. But the meeting has had its purpose ful filled. The melons of southeastern iZ'M.o rado have baen advertised and hundreds of those pioscut will demand them of their groceis thereafter. The idea has been extended to other products as well. Up in the irrigated section, where potatoes are raised in snch abundance and perfection, there is "potato day," at which the tubers, baked in long trenches, ave served with salt, pepper and butter to the crowds who are present. Then over the range in the valley cf the Grand river a little later will be "peath day," and excur sionists will eat their fill of luscions peaches, furnished without mot.y and without price. On all these occasions there is never a lack of people, many coming 100 miles to be present. It is a unique adaptation of tlio old time county fair, and when the "day" is also celebrated with some attractive races, as is usually the case, it is a decided advance step in the eshi bition of a community's products. Try as they may, none cf these occa sions can eclipse the feast of watermel ons. First as it is of the season, so it is first in the hearts of the visitors and ap peals to their palates as nothing else can or does. C. 21.

It was reported that Colt would rile a cross divorce petition, but he has as yet failed to do so. He has, however, sued .lamed J. Van Aleu, the Newport millionaire and member of the "400," for $20d,u00, in a civil ease for damages, the charge, being the alienation of the affections of plaintiff's wife. Mr. Van A.en was the gentleman who was to have been given the Italian mis sion by President Cleveland, but whoao appointment was so vigorously protested against that it was recalled. The evidence which Col. Colt is said to have ia of the most sensational chan-cfer, including as it does a bundle of letters from Van Alen to Mrs. Colt. One of these was fouud in Mrs. CoIl's apartments at a New York hotel In it she id re ferred to as "dearie" and "sweetie," and on the back of it is penciled the draft of either a telegram or a brief note to Van Alen telling him nut to Cume to the hotel, as Col.

SE3CSU3E3 THE PLACE Bostoa Shoe Go. 1 FDRiANS SHOES MAY PLWIH I TOPEKJL Some Good Football May Yet Be Seen Here. Fine Games to be Played at Athletic Park, A 81,000 GREAT DANE. Harry Robinson Purchases Beau Brum in el from J. Weess. Two Fights for Kansas City Other Sporting News. It now seems probable that Topeka will have an opportunity of seeing some of the bet football games in the west, although we shall not have a team. A movement is oa foot amoog several busi ness men to bring some of the big con tests of the state to Topeka. They be lieve that such a venture would be a pay ing one, enthused as Topeka is over the game. If arrangements are made with the big teams, as at present desired, the games will be played at Athletic park. This is a football tield with few equals. The tield is a3 level as any in the west, giving scarcely any choice of sides and no uphill and downhill playing. It is better than JicCook field at Lawrence for the reason that it is covered by grass, while the Lawrence gridiron is perfectly bare, dry, hard and dusty. It should be easy to secure good teams to play at the park if enough money is offered, for the men would stand little chance of injury, which moans everything to big teams in training. It seems that there could scarcely be a better business venture than thi?. To- peka is really interested in the game, i No good football has everbeon seen here and if games were brought here worthv of public patronage the result should certainly be gratifying to the projectors. Society takes upthe sport; and there are enough "regulars," who go to other places to see goad coutests, to go a long way towards paying the expense. So teams will be put out in Topeka this season, but this plan will almost be better than having a local team for it will furnish better contests. FISH IOH OTTAWA ANGLERS. Rainbow Trout and Kuck Has: Distribu ted llierr. The United States fish commissioner has turned over to J. C. Shomo of Ottawa, j SJ0 rainbow trout and rock bass for dis j tribution in the streams of that locality. The rainbow is one of the tiaest j species of the trout family. It is de I cidedly gamev, beautiful in appearance ana a spienata taDie Dsn. ana win be a line acquisition to the fish supply of the state. There is no good reason why Waka rusa. Mill cr,eek and Soldier should not be stocked with them. The local anglers should exert a little energy toward hav ing our streams replenished with the best varieties of game fish.

He is by Lord Wolverton, out of Sentu, and is regarded one of the finest specimens of his breed in this country. Thongh but two years old, he has taken prem iums at the Detroit, Dps Moines and Chi cago shows. Beau Brummel is valued at 1,000, and is a very important ac quisition to the Highland kennels. A -w Gun Club. A gun club recently organized in Atchison is called the "Can't Shoot" club and its name is not at all misleading. At the club's last shoot one member scored ("lost") 25 straight, while another broke live targets out of 55. For a long time the North Side gun club of this city has been locking for a team worthy of its metal, with which to arrange a match, In the "Can't Shoot'' club it has at last been found. Will "Scorch" to Ottawa. On next Sunday the T. A. A. TV. will make a century run and eight miles more. The run will be to Ottawa and return. They will start from the corner of Eighth street and Kansas avenue at 5 a. m. Captain Doncyson announces a "hot pace." and it is probable that only those used to road racing will join the procession. Liwrence Could Bide It. A Pennsylvania doctor has invented a bicycle handle bar which can be instantly detached for the purpose of preventing anyone from jumping on a wheel and riding off with it. This precaution, how ever, would cut no figure with M. C. Lawrence, the Geneva, X. Y., trick rider, for if but one wheel were left he could ride it off if he wanted to. The Clmpmnn-Abilene Game.

RAILROAD RACES IN ENGLAND Ind Fast Runs In America Xo Basia for Comparison. fhe principal newspapers of this coun ty have, of course, been greatly inter ested in these reports and have com mented upon them at length. The nost noticeable feature of their com ments is the anxiety manifested to hovv- th?.t this excellent record of the English roads is no great shakes after ill; that they have not beaten us, and, inj-way, if they have, we can turn iround and beat them if we have a mind to. There is no occasion for this anxiety. For the entire run there is nothing in American records with which to make a fair comparison; but this lack is for well-known reasons, which are not discreditable. The fast trip made by the New York Central cn Sept. 14, 1S91, was over a course 104 miles shorter, and the train was, with out doubt, considerably heavier. More over, only one trial was mcide at that time, the object cf the experiment be ing accomplished the first day. It was not an attempt to make the very high est speed possible. The regular runs of the Empire State express over the Central are subject to similar qualify ing conditions. The Exposition flyer of 1S93 is the only regular train that has ever been run in America which cculd be compared with the English runs for so great a distance as 540 miles; but the Exposition fiyer was a heavy train, weighing about two hun dred tons, and much of the time over 236 tons, exclusive of the engine. The fast run frcm Jacksonville, Fla., to Washington on Aug 2G, ISO (forty-nine miles an hour), while a highly credit able performance for the roads which made it. is not to be compared with trips over double track lines perfect ly signaled. If there were any legitimate reason for strife between English and Ameri can railroad men, newspapers or bet ting men concerning the speed record, it would be found, of course, mainly in the differences in the construction or management of the locomotives. AH other conditions are either such as can not to changed or else are mere ques tions of money. An illustration of this is seen in the fact that the most fa vorable course for fast running in Americj. the New York Central, is hampered by a whole mile in Syracuse, where the speed has to be red-iced to eight miles an hour, not to mention several other similar hindrances cf less consequence. The bearing of cost is seen in the statement that the London and Northwestern made all other pas senger trains clear the Scotch express fifteen minutes and suspended night freight trains entirely. If this latter statement is even partly true, it means a heavy loss. To compare locomotives we must have full details, weight ot train, etc., and the profile cf the whole line. The best speed mentioned in the English report, thirty-two miles at seventy-four miles an hour, falls con siderably short of the record made by the Camden Atlantic on April 21 last from Camden to Atlantic City, N. J. This Atlantic City run was made by an engine with seventy-eight inch driving wheels. If our American edi tors who feel inclined to feel chagrined at these new English records wish to compare mere speed figures, they should emphasize this performance. The whole run of 5S.3 miles was made in 454 minutes, equal to 76.4G miles an hour; and a distance of 49.8 miles was covered in 37V& minutes, or at a rate of 79.7 miles an hour. Even Up.

The Disease Breaks Out at Emporia Xow. Five Deaths Including Four From Membraneous Croup. OTHER STATE NEWS. A Lyon County Farmer Perse cuted bv His Neighbors. They Tear Down His Fences and Drive Off- Cattle. Emporia, Oct. 23. Dr. Gardiner, of the board of health, was present at the meeting of the city council and reviewed the situation regarding diphtheria in Emporia. So far there have been seven cases of diphtheria reported, one of which was fatal. There are four cases at No. 914 Cottonwood. There have also been reported recently Seven cases of membraneous croup, from which there have been four deaths. Dr. Gardiner thinks that some of these cases reported as membraneous croup may be diph theria. It is said that a great many of the patrons of the Walnut street school are in favor of closing the school for the present. Yesterday ail the pupils in the oity schools, who were complaining of sore throats, were sent home. The chil dren who have been exposed to diph theria have also been sent home from eciiooI. The schuol board is doing every thing in its powi-r to check the spread of the disease. SLAUGHTERED DISEASED CATTLE. An Arhaoms CitylSnlolierwas Preparing to Put Tliein on tlia Market. Arkansas City, Oct. 23 Quite a sen sation has been created here by tho dis covery of the fact- that two big-jawed cattle had been slaughtered aud pre pared for market. The existence of these cattle near the city has been kuown for some time. Nine of them were cut out of a train load of cattle as worthless and turned loose. Some time ago they were turned into Drury Warren's pasture without his knowtedgo and there identi fied by an old cattleman. Word reached the officers that two of those cattle were in the slaughter pen and wool i be killed and Jlarsnal Nash, Mayor Cunningham and Constable Breene went down to see them. That they were afflicted with actinomycosis, commonly called "big jaw." could not be mistaken. The second trip discovered the same animals slaughtered and being dressed for market, and orders were given by Constable Breene net to remove the meat or attempt to dispose of it in any way. The penalty fixed by statute for the sale of diseased meat is a fine of not less than $500 or impris mment in the county jail not to exceed six months. A criminal prosecution will undoubt edly result. G. A. It. REUNION AT THE HOME. Preparation Mi,kiii For On at Lear enwortli November 2. Leavenworth, Oct. 23.

File Gurnistimont Suiis Acainet Director uf I t. !cutt S'.ata l;iik. Fort ScoiT. Oct. 3. A new feature, and one that will prove most interes iag, was added to tho already sensational state bank cae, when T. J. Allen, sheriff cf this couuty, by his attorneys A. M. Keene aud G. C. G.ites, filed a suit in the district court against D. F. Coon, J. J. Stewart, J. It. Colean, C. II. Haynes, Thornton Ware, J, H. Head, Ueot r J. Butler, W. II. Hav'3 and C. C Grain, as oliiuers and directors of the wrecked state bank, to recover his deposit of $3, 320. Immediately after the suit was filed garnishment papers were served upon the Fort Scott Grain and Implement company, which occupies one of C. H. Haynes' buildings, and upon J. S. Mc Cord, who holds securities belonging to J. J. Stewart, and i: is thought that the plaintiff will seek to secure his claim. When seen by a reporter Sheriff Allen said that his position is abundantly sus tained by the decision of tiie courts. Later Messrs. Keene and' Gates filed a similar suit against the bauk directors for S. L. Neal, a wealthy stock man residing near this city, who seeks to recover a de posit of some $000. It is how authoritatively reported that a number of other suits will be filed. ACCIDENTS ON THE SANTA IE. A Man U Killrd at tlalstad and Another Hurt at Strong City. Newton, Oct. 23. Santa Fe train No. 4 yesterday at Halstead ran over and fatally injured J. Lewis, a colored man.

PKAlRIE FIRES IX SALINE. They Threaten the Town or Brookville aad Do Much Dzmaira. Salina, Oct. 23. A terrific prairie fire raged in the western part of the county for several hours. A spark from a passing engine ignited the grass one mile west of Terra Cotta water tank, west of Brookville, and got well started before it was discovered. It spread rapidly to the north widening as it advanced. All efforts to stop it seemed fruitless, until the wind changed to the west about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as it was noticed that the wind was changing a number of those who were lighting the flames immediately commenced to run a head-tire along a road ens', of the burned dis'rict. In this way the fire was at last got under con trol but it was late at night before it was safe to stop fighting it ihs territory burnt over extends from the Terra Cotta schuol house north to "F" creek, a distance of about five miles, and is between three and four miles wide at its northern extremity. It burnt within a mile of Brookville, and if it had not been for the prompt action in setting a head-fire between the flames and the town, Brookville might have been destroved. PERSECUTING A FARMER. His Neighbor Tear Iowu Ilia Fences an i Drive Off Stock. Emporia, Oct. 23. J. W. Troutraan ws in town this moruiug advertising his lost stock. It seems that Mr. Troutman's neighbors at Comisky have Btarted to harass him, and so far they'have suc ceeded admirably. Mr. Troutman has been the chiul mover in an endeavor to get an air lino road from Comisky to Bushong, and the effect of it will be to shorten the dis'ance between these two points and to d.vert travel from Council Grove to Os ige. There was a big fight before the board of county commissioners about two weeks ago a:id the Troutman crowd won. This made the neighbors angry, and when Mr. Troutman got back he found his gates down and his fences cut. Some of his gates were nailed open aud others were torn down, and weight ed down with stones and rocks. His cat tle were driven away. He has gathered in over twenty. One calf was found over fourteen miles away. It was a clear case of theft. Mr. Trout man has been in consultation with the county attorney and will try to bring criminal proceedings against the men who committed the outrages. Aib irt ISijelow Pains' Work.

The OflT.r on lielirilf. f Ilot Springs Athletic Club Uuauthorized. Hot Spri.sgs, Ark., Oct. 23. There are some warm people in Hot Springs this morning. It appears that the man Dalton, who made the offer of a $10,u00 purse on behalf of the Hot Springs Athletic club, alleging that he was talking as .the representative of Mayor Waters and President Babcock, had no authority to make the offer. Mr. Babcock, the president of the Hot Springs club, vows that he will have nothing to do wi h the fight unless it is brought eff undar the auspices of the Florida Athletic club. Julian 'on behalf of Fi'ziimmons, signed new. articles t 4 o'clock this morning accepting the offer. "Dalton is a Chicago saloon keeper who came here under the alias of Daven port. He formerly ran a place in Chi cago called "Enger's Pavilion."

The Lurjcst Grower in tho World Is a South Dakota Man. South Dakota excels in the sun flower as well as mustard business. S. D. Cone, station agent on the Great Northern railway herp. says an Aber deen dispatch to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, is without question the largest grower of sunflowers and mustard in the world. He has this year VJO acres of sunflowers and over 700 acres of mustard. One field of 120 acres of sun flowers, near Aberdeen, is just now the prettiest sight that will meet the eye in many miles of travel. The field is just a half mile long and 120 rods wide and in full bloom. Many peopie drive out to it every day, and all admit that there is a fortune in that one field alone. The stalks are now from six to seven feet high and the blossoms are about ten inches across. The various uses to which this plant can be put are familiar to most readers of daily news papers and need not be repeated here. Other patches of sunflowers in the im mediate vicinity of Aberdeen swell the acreage to 290 acres. There is no field less than ten acrc3 and all are in much better condition than corn. Editor Metcalfe on Japan. James F. Metcalfe, literary editor ot Life, arrived in town recently after a four months' tour in Japan, says the New' York Telegram. Mr. Metcalfe left New York in May and proceeded to Yokohama by way of San Francisco, going thence to Nagasaki, Kioto and Nikko, with many excursions by the way; and returning to New York through Vancouver. Mr. Metcalfe is not favorably impressed by Japan; and considering matters from the point of view of an experienced journalist, he says' that more news may be obtained of what is E-oins- on there through Lon don, Berlin and St. Petersburg than can be had in the country itrelf, since the only information that is disseminat ed is through the diplomats of the vari ous European states. Nevertheless, from observations he has mads throughout Japan, Mr. Metcalfe be lieves that the country is to be the scons of important events, involving the rest of the world within the nest yenr or two, significant of which is the circumstance that the person of the Russian ambassador is guarded more sacredly than that of any person in the empire, aside from the mikado.

TO CX0SE FSIDAX ETEMNG The Book Show a Decreased Registration Bat This is An OlT Tear. ,The registration this year will fall sev eral hundred short of what it wai last year, but this is to be expected because this is an off year in politics. There are now 7,100 registered and the total number on the books last yeir was 8,300. The books will clo3e Friday evening. The agitation of the sheriff question is causing more interest in the registration than would otherwise be shown and the indications are that there will be a heavy vote in Topeka.

WratSsor Indccfittnii. Chicago. Oct. 23. For Kansai: Cloudy probably showers tonight and Thurd.n slowly rising temperature; var.abln winds. According to the way ex-Governor Waite eiz33 up the situation the gras3 at the Ohio capital is safe from a Coxey invasion. The St. James Gazette says that Eng land always loses when she arbitrate?. This is probably owing to the fact that England is alw ays wrontr. Colonel Ixgessol.s stiggsstion that this country can stand a great' deal of grief will be appreciated by ail who are 10 fortunate as to fsirvive the present Democratic administration. As a result of the experience Kansas people are having with state banks just now the Democratic idea of turning the finances of the country over to that class of institutions is not likely to bs- received with any marked degree of favor. Dost Cameron goes right on sending out free silver literature to the Pennsyl vania voters utterly oblivious to the fact that the national convention is not far off. And they do say that the two Penn sylvania senators understand each other. Boss Qcay is said to be putting for ward Bob Lincoln as a presidential pos sibility. Since it is well known that the boss never favors the man whom he pre tends to favor, in mentioning Lineal n there need ba no feur of any unpleasant consequences. Iff it should become th9 custom to fix, the bond of a man w ho steals $50,003 at $-',000 as has been donu in the case of Colaan, the Ft. Scott defaulter, it will afford great encouragement to others who may be desirous of engaging in en terprises of that kind. C. P. Hcntington wants the gov em inent to extend the Union Pacific rail road debt a hundred years at two per cent. It is customary for debtors to pay up their interest before getting an ex tension of time and a redaction of rates. If Mr. Huntington will pay up, his propo sition may receive consideration. Eighty-five thousand head of Mexi can cattle are being shipped into the country, but the price of beef to the con turner is not likely to be affected thereby. When they are ready for slaughter they will all pass into the hands of the pack ers' combine and will be sold out to re tailers at the same price as native beef -which costs twice as much to produce. Forty-five dollars a month is small pay for turning the Democratic delega tion, from Kansas over to Cleveland, considering the difficulty of the undertaking-, but perhapa Mr. Richardson has promises of future compensation. He should consider however the extreme uncertainty attached to the realization of any expectations ba el on the success of the Democracy next year. Free trade, says Mr. Gladstone, would make America the gte iteat commercial nation in the world. England is today the greatest commercial nation in the world and is a free trade country, which fact is probably the foundation- for the ex-premier's assertion. But there are many who do not believe that England's commercial supremacy is attributable to i here free trade policy at all, but rather to her mammoth schemes of robbery and oppression, which she has carried on for centuries. There are those who be lieve that a tariff has little effect on the commerce of a country, one way or the other. The fact is that Eng'.atid is pre eminently a buying nation. She buys vastly more than she sells, but what she does sail i3 in the form of finished pro duct and is sold at a big ptafit The United States can never be commercially great so long as its exports are greatly in excess of its imports and cousist so largely of raw material, tariff or no ta riff. If the removal of the tariff would alter these conditions then perhaps Mr. Gladstone's prediction is true, but would I i S Kansas people must do more work to bring; mora people to Kansas. Some day Kansas must till up with people, that is j certain. The creator has stopped mak I ing- land, but he hasn't stopped making I people; so that it is foregone that the demand for land will continue to in j crease. Tne question for Kansas people to determine i, shall we grow in popu i latioa now or ten years from. now. We can wait until all the territory around us j lills up, cr we can make the territory rjuud us wait until we fill up. Alvar- tise Kansas. Lit every citzin of Kin- sis make himself the honorary mem i ber of a million club to bring at least one mire settler to this state No state is superior to Kansas in natural advantages. Tits western part of the state' needs irrigation. Do not persuade any one to go to that cuur.- trjr to arm unless he is prepared to put upa Windmill and water a portion of his crops; but with irrigation a western Kansas farmer can make an acre yield times as much as in. Missouri, Illinois or Oiiio with a great deal less jab jr. Send the new settler to western Kunsa-, but send him properly provided to stay there, i-.nsas c.tn't afford to have its wewtern eud starve out ugaia. Much has been said about the silver barons who would be enriched by the government's fixing a price lor their pro duct of $1.29 an ouiio by opening the mints to its cuiaaite. Why is no atten tion paid to lha gold heron?, whose out put is In.- roasing at a rapid rate and it no: subject to the lasvscf trade like every other commodity but tiadj a market fixed by law. mid a price greatly in ex cess of the cast of pred iction. The Bank of England is compelled by law to buy aii the gold presented at a fixed price which is its coinage value, and is not restricted to the product of the English mines. KAXS -1-5' PA HAG HAP IIS. In an orchard-near McPiierson there are seven cherry trees in full biootn. Most of the leather prepared at the Lawrence tannery goes to the shoo fiictory at Ottawa. m Tha Southern Kansas Teachers' asso ciation will meet in Arkansas City Xhauksgiving Day. There is an A. B. C. bath house at A'chison. Can it be that Atchison people are 6uil in the rudiments on this sub ject? The revival meetings have started early at B lidwin this year before expe rience mates the new students "hard o catca." After a year's rest, Chanute people feci sufficiently recuperated to hear the "P. rates of Ponzjuce'' again by a local company. Wichita in her loud ranting against law and decency has shown that she is worse than auybody over charged or thought of. It is announced that the new Santa Fe flyer will whistie at Lawrence, a distinc tion for which that town is profoundly grateful. Mike Callahan, of Huron, whose wife threw carbolic acid in his face, is im proving. She wants a divorce and he wants to live with her. He has either a very soft bean or a very soft head It has now been dug out that, Chas. Ration, candidate for judge at Wichita, who is enough it a free whisky man to suit the Eagle, drafted and signed pro hibition resolutions in 1883. While Hutchinson people are laying up treasures in heaven inside the church sneak thieves take the risk of moths and ruat nd steal their buggy whips and lap robes. A Lawrence girl refused $10 for her pet cat and the next day it died. A cat with that much money in it was bound to get its digestive apparatus out of order. A sign on a farm gate between Law rence ar,d Eudora reads, "Potatoes 5 cents a bushel." A few thinga like that and a story wiil be out about Kansas burning potatoes. A Parsons girl in boys' clothes took a walk with her girl chum but gave her self away by putting her arm around the chum in plain sight on the street. Boys don't do such things in plain sight The Police Relief association of Kan sas City, Kas has made arrangemen s to give its annual ball on the evening of Decembers. There will be visiting pre servers of the peace from St. Joseph, Leavenworth, Topeka, Lawrence and other filaces. Atchison Globa: Some people imagine that John J. Ingalls is tha leading citi zen of Atchison. It is a mistake; Hugh Todd of Atchison, who was lately in jured while playing football at an east ern college, is clearly the most promi nent citizaa in town. WIGGLES WUU?H. Kot Such an Easy Matter to Cnkarg k Toor aa He Thought. "Now, remember, charged Mrs. Wig glosworth as her husband was starting for the office, "that the minister and bis VJifo take tea with us, and don't forget tc come home early, will you?" "Coiuo home early?" returned Mr. Wi glesveortb. "What you tako me for? Dcn'1 you s'pose I know -when to come home!

Half way home he thought of the guests, and ho broke into the front hall, his face hot and red with haste. "Sh!" exclaimed Mrs. Wigglesworth, rushing out of the dining room. "They're in the parlor. Oh, JEllery, what made you so lato, find it just seems as if the oven never would bake those biscuits, and do, for mercy's sato, hurry up and wash, and don't forget clean cuffs, and why didn't you hurry?" "Hurry!" hissed Mr. Wigglesworth, pulling his coat off as ha rushed up stairs. "Think I'm a plumber? Reel-ton a man's got nothing to do bur run his legs into an apoplexy to eat suppers with ministers?" Fifteen minutes liiter he entered the parka- and greeted the guests. His clothing was a good deal fisitatcd, and in his haste he'd forgotten to put on a necktie. "It rejoices my heart, Brother Wiggles worth," beamed tho minister, "to enjzage in theso interchanges of social pleasures. Hcvr delightful it is," he added, putting in a gesture, "to greet one another in our homes, and there, in the relaxation that proceeds from from er relaxation, to soften tho tho asperities cf of er er" "Existence, suggested his wife.' "Precisely." said tho minister, "of oar existence Exactly." "Oh, Ellery, called Mrs. 'Wigglesworth, putting a troubled face in at the door, "wiil you please step hero a moment?" Mr. Wigglesworth followed her to the dining room. "What ails you now?" ho growled. "Why don't you have supper if you'ro going to? S'poso I want to st;;y in there all night with a phonograph?' "Everything's ready," said Mrs. Wig glesworth, waving her hand toward the table, "and I want you to oil this door, so when Imogens con- in with tho tea it won't squeak so awfully. It's been driv ing me wild for a month." Mr. Wigglesworth knew this; also that his wife bad talked about it ceaselessly at j everv meal. "Where's your oil can?" he said testily. "You women folks always call on a man to do theso things at just tho worst times. You save 'cm up." "I wouldn't lift, it off the hinges," Mrs. Wirrrrlesworth advised as her husband grabbed tho door with his accustomed en ergy. "Course yon wouldn't!" he grunted, tugging at tho door. "You'd bavo a new w;-.y of your own. Side talks wil Ii girls on bow to cil door.?, by Mrs. Wigglesworth. Written exclusively for Tho Ladies' Home Ledger. Xow is tho time to subscribe." I.ii'ting the door off and leaning it against tho wall, Mr. Wigglesworth anointed tho hinges copiously. "That's tho way to do a job like that," he said importantly. "Don't tako a min ute, nnd you ntet at tho whole thing." Then he picked up the door. It wr.s one cf tlio heaviest doors on that street, and the veins en Mr. Wigglesworth 's forehead stood out a little as bo raised it up and slid it into placte. "There you are!" he cried triumphant ly, wiping his brow. "L'i'.t the bottom hinge isn't on," said Mrs. V igglesworth. "What's the reason it ain't?" retorted her husband crossly. .Grasping tho door it was a wide door and hetivy he raised it again. This time the bottom hinge slipped on, but the up per one failed to connoet. "Why don't you tako hold hero nnd help out a little?" snapped Mr. Wigglesworth. "Think I can hold a 'JO pound door out at arm's length all winter:-" Mrs. Wigglesworth promptly lent as.-J3t-ance, pulling the door quire loose and pushing it- ovar on her husband. "What you doing?" ho cried, tottering forward ai)d br.ck tinder its awkward weight. "Why don't you tako and guide the hinges, and they'll slip on like a whis tle." Once more he brought bis benumbed arms into service and hoisted tho door aloft. Its weight bad increased vastly. Mrs. Wigglesworth got the upper hiugo in position, but when she tackled tho lower one the upper slipped off again. This was repeated, with variations, for 30 times. "Which one of them is the longer?" Mrs. Wigglesworth asked, with a sob. "Both of 'em!" howled Mr. Wiggles worth, enunciating tho truth that every man discovers wiio tries to hang a door. "They're both of 'em siz inches longer than the other one." And he strained afresh. "I am afraid that something is detain ing Brother Wigslosworth," remarked the minister, into whose countenance had stolen a look of anxious hunger. "lean hear a noiso in the dining room," said his wife, who for 15 minutes had beeu idiy fingering the album without turning a leaf. "Hark!" Through tba slili rooms the muffled sounds, growing louder, now took their way, rising and falling snd augmenting in volume. The nAiister's wife grew pale. "I think we ought to investigate," she said agitatedly. "Perhaps somebody has fainted." When they opened the dining room door, the other door, the one Mr. Wigglesworth was performing with, had just slipped off again, with an impetus that sent its bearer careening across the floor. Mr. Wiggles worth's collar wa3 torn out, his vest had ripped open, and the sleeves of his coat, worked up to his elbows, disclosed that he had turned bis cutis instead of donning clean ones. His crimson face, bathed perspiration, wsas painfuliy distorted, eyes hung out, and between his parch lips a dry tongue rattled. Catcbiing sight of the pale face of th minister, he gave a hoarse laugh. "Doors hung!" he shrieked, totterin aimlessly forward nnd making a lunge at the sideboard. "I'm the great North Amer ican door banger. Doors hung in any po sition to suit customers. Bring your doors to Wigglesworth, tho colebrated hangist. Customers in delicate health can have their doors hung at home. All kinds of doors kept on band" And then the door, held aloft in his stiffened arms, engaged with the chande lier ajid fell with its bearer upon the dain tily sj-reiid table. In vain did the ladies utter it warning scream; in vain the min ister, breaking from his stupor, sprung to tho rescue. Ovor in ono fell ruin went ta ble, door and Wigglesworth, and the trag edy was complete. Mrs. Wigglesworth said afterward tha tho most beautiful sight to her was. the minister. Thrown to tho floor and pinned against the wall with the table across his knees, a large circular pie, covered with whipped oream to a depth of two inches, had slid into that gentleman's lap and mashed itself all over the front of his stomach. "And yet," she cried admiringly, "he never lost patiesce once, but just sat there with a smile on his face like what y ju see in pictures." W. O. Fuller, Jr., in JSew York Kecorder. A MODiiKN FABLE. The Hnn, the Bike and the Trolley and What Happened. I. A horse, one day, wliilo serenely nipping the render blades in his fence environed field was suddenly startled by the whir and swish cf swiftly darting objects which passed and repassed along the country road with electrical swiftness. Pricking up his ears he ceased indulging in his succulent meal and with groat curiosity loped over to the worm oaten fenco and rosted his jawbones on the top rail. With distended eyeballs he gazed at the curious sight be fore him. "And so this little affair is the new horse, "bo meditated. "Certainly it ha3 my best wishes, for has it not given mo a well earned rest and allowed me to enjoy unalloyed by work my gloriekis life fn.this sweet scented clover field? No more need I fear the cruel spur or the cutting lash of a hotheaded master." With which wise and highly satisfactory conclusion tho horse kicked up his heels in great glet; and trotted back to bis menu of youn grass and juicy clover blossoms. I II. Toward dusk, just as the horse had fin ished his luncheon nnd was preparing to go to the farm pond for bis last drink of the day, be heard a voice hard by saying, "I am tired." His groat -equino heart swelled with pity and ho hastily galloped to tho spot whence tho sound came. There he saw tho little affair leaning its head against the lower rniis of the old fence whiie its body rested in a bed of mullein leaves. With much solicitude the horse asked, "What might your namo bo?" "Bike," curtly answered the little af fair as it deigned to cast a haughty look upon tho gentle eyed, big hearted horse. "If I am not mistaken, I heard you say a moment ago that you wero tirod. If you will como with mo to tho pond, I will re fresh you and give you my bed of new, clean straw in the barn yonder that you may rest." Whereupon the litt-lo affair gave his well meaning sympathizer tho horse laugh. "Oh, my, my, but this is good a regular scorcher." And the little affair broke out in uncontrollable mirth. "I see no cause for such levity," indig nantly interrupted the horsa, at last aroused to n sense of tho ridiculous posi tion in which ho was placed. "You said you were tired, worried, and" "Ovr, wowl" how- tho little nffair as ho kicked his sides Wn.ii his pedals in his great glee. "By my century mark, but you arc good ais, even unto being a bird wiih four wings. Yes, I am tired, piieu matio tirod, but not wonricd." And again the little affair laughed so heartily that it slipped a cog nnd fell rolling in ecstasy in its bed cf mullein loavos. in. Where or.ee hr.d been love and sympathy there now dweit deep and undying hatred, and as tho horse trudged toward vhe barn bis heart fairly ached for an opportunity to return tho indignity which had been heaped upon his honest ignorance. "I will do it," ho said, with a sudden ness and determination which fairly star tied himself. "This very night I will leap over tho meadow gate and pranco my proudest into the big city where tho little affair makes his homo. I am cow strong, fat end sleek and bavo every reason to be proud of my healthful appearance. My mrster has no further io for me since tho advent of tho little affair, and thus I will not be missed or censured for ?;iy absence. Thus suiting tho notion to the word the horse leaped nimbly over the meadow auto and with graceful strides, arched neck and proudly curved tail ho clattered along tlio country road and into the city of myriad lights, the home of the little, affair. Up the grand boulevards lie pranced, soon to be surrounded by countless numbers of his swift speeding little rivals.- His appear ance among them was apparently unno ticed save by such remarks n3 "Poor old fellow, how useless," "Even the race tracks bavo turned him down," "How slow he moves." Tho horse grew enraged. "Surely this army of littlo affairs should be chastised and with my strong, iron cov- ered beols I will teach them a lesson." Whereupon he backed up to a group of his tormentors and scattered them like chaff before a mighty storm. Firod with the complete victory he had achieved bo elared about him with a bursting desire to fur ther show his prowess. Catching sight of a monster littlo affair moving through space toward him much faster than he had ever dreamed of, he ran with eager haste to moot and annihilate it. "This no doubt is tho head of the house of littlo affairs the daddy of the whole push, so to speak," he hissed as ho Sprang directly in front of the keen singing, sput tering, swift moving object. Whir zip bing biff kerplunk, and the jealous, crazed horse with a groan. was thrown high in tho air, alighting in the street gutter mortally wounded, whilo trolley, the supposed daddy of bike or tho little affair, speeded merrily on his way without giving the occurrence the slight est thought, simply outting another notch in his big stick. IV. They gathered about the horse, who was in articulo mortis, and listened to his words. "In case" "Incased, you mean," nnfeolingly ut tered the littlo affair, "for soon you will be put to the only known use which you can be on this earth.

"They don't look like such tcrriblo crea-. turcs," he said, addressing a by stun del1. "I don't believe they're half as savago and treacherous as tho papers say they are." "I'm satisfied to stay on this side of tho fenco and look at them, responded the other. "I wouldn't be a bit afraid to get in there," rejoined the first speaker. "The trouble is that when a man is afraid of the animal? they know it as well as he does, and they go for him. Animals ain't fools. If I had any business with these elks, I wouldn't hesitate a minute. I'd get right over there and make them under stand their place. I wouldn't be cross, but I'd show 'em who was master." He climbed to the top of the fence and leaned over. Two big elks were lyiDg down on the ground nlxitit 20 feet away. "Get up," he" called out, fixing Ills eye on one of them. "Get up and come here, you lazy brute!" He shook the fence as he spoke and the two animals jumped to their feet and came at him like a shot. They struck the fence with a terrifio bang, and the mnn on top, taken by sur prise, lost his hold, fell back on tho out side and rolled over and over in the dirt. He gathered himself up, brushed the dirt from his clothes, picked up his hat, placed it carefully on his head, pulled tlio brim down over his forehead and started away. "That settles it," he said.

WING FAT'S VVEDDSNG. A Notable Function in High li!ne;e Society In San Francisco. Wing Fat, a wen-known member of the Chinese colony, was married at 5 o'clock Sunday morning to Miss Mow Sing Yu; niece of Li Hoy Hung, presi dent of one of the Six Companies. Last night the bride and groora entertained their friends at dinner at the Hani: Fer Low restaurant on Bupont street. Some 200 Chinese and between thirty and forty ladies and gentlemen were present. The bride is a demure little Chinese woman, just 18 years of age. She is but a recent arrival in San Francisco, having coma from her Ori ental home to marry Mr. Fat, who is the foreman for Louis Meyerstein Co., and is worth over $100,000, says San Francisco Examiner. There were but few at the wedding, and the pecu liar Chinese ceremony was performed in one of the temp'.es" of the Six Com panies. When the bridal company ar rived at the restaurant last night there was a great display of colored lights and a perfect fusillade of bombs and firecrackers. The banq.net room was decorated in brilliant colors and aglow i'ith the light of many Chinese lan terns. The white guests were seated at a different table from the Chinese, and at the table where the latter were seated the groom presided with his bride. Mrs. Fat had on a light green silk costume trimmed with gold bro cade and many precious stones. The groom was arrayed in a silk suit suit able to his rank and fortune. The menu was most elaborate and there was nothing to mar the festivities of the evening in the least. The white guests enjoyed the affair as much as any who were present, and the groom was fully equal to the occasion, both in the dig nity cf his bearing and the mannner In which he welcomed the guests in true Oriental style. After the Chi nese fashion, the speechmaking and the popping of champagne corks opened up the wedding dinnner. Li Hoy Hung, the bride's uncle, made addresses both In Chinese and English. A Chinese dinner of choice and rare dishes was then served. But these many and va ried courses did not conclude the repast for to the surprise of many of the Chi nese and white guests a dinner cooked end served in the American style fol-1 lowed. Each lady in the party was presented by the bride with a fan, a pair of ivory chopsticks and a Chinese bracelet. Every gentleman received as a memento of the occasion a handsome pipe. At the conclusion of the dinner the guests repaired to one of the Chi nese theaters, where a performance by Chinese children was in progress for .ihe entertainment of Mr. and Mrs. Fat The latter and their relatives to gether with all the white guests, occu pied boxes and seats on the stage.

MIVELAZ'S INVENTION. j It Seemed to He 1 Ueoretically Right, but There Was a Screw Loose. From the Louisville Commercial: It is a good thing to be an inventor, if you can invent something that will do good work. If, however, your idea is a bad one, your experience is not likely to be a pleasant one. Louis "ivelsz is the latest victim of an unprofitable idea. Ir. Mivelaz is a great fisherman and spends most of his spare time on the river front. As he always hr3 good luck he is generally surrounded by a crowd of boys, who watch him haul in his fishes. This is annoying, and Mr. Mivelaz has lor.g pondered over a way to get rid of the "vs. The result of his meditation wt-.s that he hied him to a printer and had printed on a large card these words: "This is my busy day." The next time Mr. Mivelaz went S?h- ing he threw out his line, and then hung the card by a string around his neck in such a manner that the card hung down his back. Then he waited for the first small boy to cc:ne around, expecting him to slink off on tiptoe as soon as he caught sight of the card. But this did not happen. The first boy that happened that way did leave in a hur ry, but' it was only to come back in a few minutes with a crowd of twenty or thirty urchins, who stared at the card as if they had never seen anything like it before. More came, and scon the fish erman was surrounded by a crowd of such size that Patrolman Doran ran down the bank in a hurry, thinking that someone had fallen in the river. Nobody was giadder to see him than the fisherman, and he soon relieved him by scattering the crowd. Since that memorable day Mr. Mivelaz has been doubtful about acting upon any cf his brilliant thoughts till they have been tried upon someone else. j The Law of Sex. 'An English author, G. R. Stark i weather, thinks he has discovered a great "law of sex," of which the fol lowing is a summary: If the husband is mentally superior to the wife, the family will consist mostly of girls, and i vice versa. Dark complexion is suptr ior to light, dark trees and plants are the most hardy and dark horses the best. A square forehead and promi nent veins indicate superiority; a large prominent eye (which usually accom panles csnversational powers) is the re- verse. But the best indication of su periority is a large and prominent nose, Roman or aquiline, full a third the length of the face. Philosophers, lawyers, editors, poets, literary men and brain workers generally, have a large excess of daughters. Wrine mer chants, innkeepers, small retail deal ers, orators, physicians, and musicians, have a preponderance of boys. Clergy men appear just to struggle through the ordeal without incurring the stigjia of inferiority, being equally intelligent, sober and moral with their wives, and producing an equal number of boys and girls. The peopie ot this country drink eight times as much coffee as tea. Von Wyrk Somr Botter. Washi.vgton-, Oct 23.

THOSE GIRLS. Some ?Etmctiva Conversation on tho Training of Lover. "Don't ronio near ine; I'm dangerous,-" said the girl with the ostrich boa. "I had a birthday yesterday and" "Oh, I've become accustomed to that sort of thing," said tho girl at tho tea ta ble. "Is it ono lump of sugar or two?" "Two. So have 1, but as if tho birth day itself wasn't bafi enough girls, did you ever know anything liko the talent Some men have for doing the wrong thing!"' "Never, replied t he girl in red. "Not long ago a man asked me confidentially what would be a nice present for a girl. I thought he meant Nell or Lou, so I said carelessly, 'Oh, a book of poems.' And, girls, it; was for me, and that wretched creature took great credit to himself for his tact in finding out by such a clever trick exactly what would please me." "It's uot half as bad as what happened to me," said the girl with the ostrich boa. "It was Dick. He was looking at my gifts, and I told him that mamma had given ma a spoon for each birthday since tho first. Ho said" "He never asked bow many you have?" cried the girl at the tea table. "Ho said, 'Oh, I say, you must have as many of them as you want now.' "And you couldn't knock him down?" said the girl in red. "Well, well, I've troubles of my own," observed the girl at tho tea table You know, Hal taught me to row last summer, and that thut was how it all camr. about." 'Tkliow; he said you were the only girl in our set who wa3 too sensible to mind a coat of tan. "And now be is always praising Cyn thia's lovely while hanus to me. Ob, I shall diecf rago someday. I know I shall." "And no wonder, said the girl in red sympathetically. "I'm hot very happy niyso'.f. Vou use, Clarence hasn't a fault in the world, and it makes me perfectly miseraljle. "Oh, well, all the girls know he is en gaged to you." "It isn't that. You see, ho always says it is his fault if wo quarrel, invariably makes me tho right kind of presents, can quote poetry about everything and knows just how to put 011 my coat without crush ing my sleeves, and yet he he says ho has never loved before." "Perhaps he has oniy been engaged," suggested the girl with tho ostrich boa cheerfully. "You can fina out after you are married and get a ciiance to go through his things." '"It will bo too late then," groaned th9 girl in red. "I'd dio rather than" "Oh, well, it's not so bad, after all," said tho girl at tho tea tablo. "Now, there is Lou. You don't know her, do you? Well, she was engaged, and she trained that maa to do everything just as ho should, and just- as sho had finished the en gagement was broken off, and now sho says some other girl is reaping the benefit of her labors. Lot me see; what was hi3 name? .Something romantic why, I dj believe it was Cia" "Oh. never mind his name, broke in tho girl with the ostrich boa, and sho smiled a queer littlo smile. "Anyhow, it's lots of trouble to train a lover." "Then yon think I had better just bo satisfied with Clarence as he is and not worn" any more about it?" asked the girl in red. "I rc-i'y think you had," replied tho girl at ihe tea table. Chicago Times-Herald. ICeedless Task. Authors have to submit to criticism cf ail sorts, humorous and otherwise. An amusing story is told in connection with Dr. Macknight, a Scotch clergyman who was th-i author of several books npou reli gious subjects which displayed his knowl edge m;d studious research. Among his parishioners was a black smith who had a certain dry humor, cf which ho was by no means chary. This man. while ho admired and loved "his pr.'son," thought the doctor's writing learned books was a great mistake and a sad waste of time. One day this blacksmith was asked by a stranger if Dr. Mackrtiuht was then at tho manse. "Na, 11 a," replied the blacksmith with a Ehnkc of his shaggy head, "tlio mon's gone to Edinbro on a vera useless job." Tho doeto had gono oiT to tho printers with his learned and valuable work called "The Ilarmdry of the Four Gospels." The stranzer inquired curiously what the "usoloxs job" was which had taken tho doctor ta lldinburgli at that time. "A weel. vaid the blacksmith, looking at his questi inor sharply to see if his an swer met with the appreciation it merited, "he's gone to mak' four men agree wha ne'er cast ouc!" Youth's Companion. From Another Point of Tiew. 1 1 "I thought j-ou said that, you would never marry," said the old woman when j the, new woman had told of her engage- j meet. "Well, I did," admitted the new wom- i an candidly. 1 j "You asserted, as I recall it," went on 1 the old wom-iu, "that a progressive wom- an liko yourself should devote her time to the wort 01 enlarging woman s spnere or action, and lor that absolute freedom was necessary." "I scill maintain it." "But marriage" "My dear, the sphere cf action is all right, but upon looking at the marriage i question from another point of view I dis I covered that I was wrong as to that fea i ture of our grand new movement. I must have some ono to support me while I am i enlarging the sphere." Chicago Post. Misapprehended. "Miss Barretts," said the young man suddenly, "I must see your father con cerning something very dear to me some thing that may aSoct my whole life" "Dear me; this is so sudden!" said tho young woman. "Why, not so very sudden. I announced my name as a candidate for councilman mora than four weeks ago. Do you think he will vote for me?" Chicago Dispatch. A Generons Bcqnest. A husband, feeling his end approach, sent for a solicitor to make his will. "I leave my wife a life interest in 100, 000 francs." "Very good; but if she marries again?"

A 'Tall Boom" That is Not Bragged About. TSE EDITOR IS THE MODEST OWKER Of Two Mountains, to Snjr Sothiae of a Paltry OneA Thousand Acres, but Ha Believes in Kepins (gnict. Some of tho towns in this territory are bragging about the "fall booms" which have come to them and are using them as a levar to induce emigration. We hae our little "fall boom" in this town as well, but we are not bragging about it. The last boom we had left us Q high aod dry that nobody could pay cash for a nip for several months, and w,e shan't encourage another. On the contrary, we shall discourage the own ers of sand lots five miles from town from jumping prices to $200 a foot front, and we don't, know of any great industries coming here to add thousands to our population during the next year. We personally own 1,000 acres of land on which nothing but cactus and rattlesnakes can be grown, aud we shan't do any lying to unload. We also own two mountains which could per haps be worked off on eastern teuderfeefc for orajige groves Sr vineyards, but we shall continue to hold the price down to 5 cents au acre and throw in bears, wildcats aud avalanches free gratis. We likewise own 100 city lots, all of which we. have won at poker and each one of which was valued at $100, hut our price on' the same will continue to be $12 each, and-we shall feel sorry for the chnps who buy 'em at that. There aro 17 saloons, two butcher shops, five groceries, four gambling houses, six barns aud two blacksmith shops going up in this town, T.-at we are not saying a word about booms. i There Was No Shootinjr. The dispatch sent out of here to the eastern papers last Saturday regarding an incident in tho common council was bath misleading and malicious. We had scarcely taken our place as presiding officer of tho meeting when we noticed that Alderman IvlcGraw of the Second ward had mischief in his eye. We couldn't understand what he was at un til he moved to take from the table a resolution for a sidewalk on the east side of Grant place. There is but one house ou the east side of that street, -and the alderman owns that. His idea was to stick the taxpayers about f 200 for his own individual benefit, and as he made his motion he started to draw his gnus. We were too quick for him, how ever, and ordered him to throw up his hands. Alderman McGraw is a critter who knows when he is beaten, and he didn't hesitate to elevate and keep his hands up until disarmed by the city clerk. He left the council chamber with a threat to do us up later, but after Ihe session was over we met him in the Yaller Dog saloon, and he extended his hand, acknowledged his error and asked that friendly relations bs renewed. The incident really amounted to noth ing, and we are sorry to see the eastern papsrs giving it so much space. Ours is a pioneer town in a territory. Our com mon council is composed of good ma terial, but we run things after our cwd fashion and should not bo criticised be cause that fashion differs from New York or Chicago. Every alderman brings at least cue gun into the meeting with him, while we always have two within reach, but we nevertheless flat ter ourselves that tho public business is ns carefully considered and as promptly disposed of as if we followed some other stylo. Another Newspaper Suspended. The White Rock Eagle, a weekly newspaper established in the town of i White Rock several months ago by a inan named Fcarnaugbt, suspended pub-, licatiou under disastrous circumstances last week. Mr. Feat-naught visited Tiio Kicker office aud had a long talk with us before establishing Tho Eagle. We j told him frankly that his name was i cgin him as a starter. The boys would I take it as a bluff and be anxious to know whether he feared naught or could stand up to a row. He didn't look to us like a man with sand in his craw, and when we presented him with an old revolver as an editorial" gift ho had to squint all around to discover the business ecd of it. We were willing to help the critter along, however, and advised him to buy half an acre of ground and start a pri vate graveyard the first thing. Our way would have been to pick a fight the very first day and take our chances, but he decided on soft measures and had his nose pulled before his first issue went to press. That was the beginning of the end. Brother Fearnaught has been kick- ed and cuffed and walloped until his weight fell to 100 pounds and his hair turned gray. He was holding on in hopes that public sentiment would change, but last week his paper con tained an item which wrought his final downfall. It was about the magnificence of Niagara falls. The town of White Rock is situated on Squaw creek, and just there the creek has a fall of seven feet. It is a cataract which the folks are all proud of and regard as the biggest thing on earth. Therefore, when The Eaglo bragged about Niagara falls and gave Squaw creek tli9 cold cut the whole population moved down on the office. In ten min utes there was no office, no Eagle, no press, and the editor was flying for his life. He is flying yet, and from all we hear will not stop short of Nebraska. We have tried to be sorry foriim, but the tears will not come. He was pig headed and wouldn't lake our advice, and he may console himself with the thought that he alone was responsible for the calamity which made him a 1 pattper and jumped him into the bush j a fugitive at the same time.

BAD IMPF.ESXH MADS 08 VISITORS Ity Rubbish II pa and Rare PateiirH of ?Iaj .ivaril Wiitler's Sasjires tions. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Santa Fe, is regarded is oqo cf the moat ar tistic men in this city, and special inter est is always attached to any ougges'-iims he may offer in reference to particular or general improvements about the city. Tao only thing that prevents many of Sir. V ilders suggestions from beiujj put into prac.ice is that the mouey isn't al ways to he had to do it with. Sir. Wilder is at present greatly inter ested in the cordition of the siaie house trroutiits, and thinks that lmiiiedmtte steps should be taken to improve the capiiul square. 'ihe ciniiiion of the state house grounds," said Mr. Wilder, "uaj, in my opinion, done more to lower the standard uf the cummuuity than a;iyihin; else in this ciiy, as we cannot expect individuals to keep themselves ur their surroundings neat and orderly when the example set bv the execut.va authority of this state is so dircc.ly opposite. 'From a financial basis, also, the con dition of the grounds is detrimental, aa eastern capitalist visitiug this city with a view of investing, invariably visit the capitol building aud noto the condition of the ground.", and they would naturally prefer to invest iu a state wi.era the ex ecutive standard was shown 10 be highef by the pro? parous and o.dariy appearance oi the public buildings and grounds." "The grounds should be bo well, ar ranged and so neatly kept that every citizen passing through tUwm wouid be impressed with an idea for tho better ment of his private parks aud lawn." ilr. Wilder believes that in the ar rangement of the walks and driveways iu the capitol square, more attention should be given to tho natural inclina tion of travel than to geometrical de signs, reasoning that if in haste, a person would walk across a lawn in preference to going some dis tance out of their way, then let the walk be made to follow the shortest cut. 'If I were planning the arrangement of the capitol square," said Jir, Wilder, "I wouid first obtain a map of the grounds as they now exist, arranging the walks and driveways in such a manner as to combine gracefulness with the least possible deviation from the natural way of travel. All deformed trees should he removed, first planting others to take their places, and waiting until tha new trees had a vigorous growth. I am a lover cf trea?, but not a tree worshipper, and as in this case it i3 simply a ques.ion of beauty, saade not being rgaliy neces sary, I believe that only handsome and well formed specimens should be allowed to exist in the grounds. "Tho lawns should be beautified with shrubs and flowering plants, and the en tire equare kept in a condition that would be a credit, not only to this city, but to the state of Kansas." 3ir. Wilder says that Gov. Morrill tate3 great interest 4n the question of improv ing th grounds, and fols that they are a disgrace to the state in their present condition. For this reason he s-nt for andscape artist Parca whoso suggestion hut the grounds be made one large ..Teen lawn where the people of the city md state may enjoy the grass and shade, meets with tha endorsement of all.

Intends to Opi-n n Correspondence School in Topska- "Gen." H. 11. Ariz is not in Topeka. He has been practicing law but has abandoned that to open a correspondence school.. The 'General" is now in the east it is said to get books to be used in bis school. The details of the work have not yet been arranged and when general Artz returns from his trip the organization will be perfected and he will commence work. The plan is to give instructions la ail the branches by mail. General l.ocl Itemi Abiut Kansas Jtaitroads and FersoaaM. An article in yesterday's Globe-Democrat contains a rather significant state ment. It says: "One feature of the Santa Fo reorgan ization wiil be a recommendation to di vide the operative force so that several headquarters may be maintained for the fostering of local business that is flighted in handling the business of an extensive system of over 9,000 miles. It is pro liosed to establish separate headquarters, as in the case of taa Colorado Midland, and allow local men to develop business that wiil keep the roai iu motion, in stead of being a charg-0 upon the main system." What the meaning of thi3 is is not ex actly clear. It would seem to indicate' that the policy of concentrating every thing at Chicago was to be abandoned or at least modified. The Globe Democrat gives further in formation JJabout gthe reorganization as lollows: "The Atchison reorganization commit tee expects very shortly to make a prop osition to the bondholders of the St. Louis San Francisco, looking to the reorganization of that property as part of the Atchison system. There are at pres ent no committees representing the San Francisco bonds. "Under order of court the coupons due July 1, 1895, on Chicaeo, Santa Fe California bonds (the $69.000 of bonds outstandins) are being paid. The ear lier coupons were also paid, but the court has rescinded the order requiring the payment of future coupons. "The general impression in the west concerning the coining man on the raor ganized Santa Fe system is that either President Jettrey, of the Denver and Rio Grande, or I). 3. Kobinson, vice president aud general agent of the receivers, will take the helm. As Already announced in the Globe-Democrat, the sale will take place at Topek about December 5, "Financially the road is said to be as good if not better than any of the west ern lines, and there is reason to antici pate a dividend-paying basis will be reached when the committee gets through with the reorganization. As a matter of fact, the system is doing more than paying expenses, and with several changes recommended by the committee the earning capacity of the road will be more thau doubled in the thinly settled districts." WON'T GET COLORED MES, The Santa Fe Wilt Not Follow the In Ion Pacific's Plan. The report in circulation that the Santa Fe v. ould displace their present passen ger brakemen by substituting colored men, as is now in vogue on the Union Pacific, has been positively denied by the general manager s othce in this city. The report originated from the fact that the Santa Fe chair cars on limited trains 3 and 4 will be in charge of col ored porters, this being simpiy an addi tion of help, as the train crew will re main the same, ALONG THE LINES. News Items Interesting to Rallrondexs and the Public. Mrs. W. H. Simpson cf Chicago, wife of the advertising agent of the Santa Fe, arrived this afternoon from Pueblo, and will visit for a few days with Mrs. W. B. Jansen John E. Frost, land commissioner of the Santa Fe, accompanied by his daugh ter, Miss Jennie, left yesterday afternoon for Chicago on business connected with his department.

Iiock Island Engineer Martin Line han, whose shoulder was dislocated aud left arm fractured several months ago, is now able to resume his duties and will take charge of his engine, the 901, in a few days. Santa Fa fireman, Edward Eyler, has been promoted to the position of en gineer, having successfully passed the examination conducted by Division Mas ter Mechanic Smith and Trainmaster Tica yesterday. He has been assigned a switch engine in the Argentine yards.

After the merriment over the opening of the bundles, which contained toys chiefly, dancing was enjoyed. Euchre Club Meeting.

Ha Has Kun Away. The sheriff and chief of police re turned from Kansas City today without having found any trace of Edward Ills ton, ajed 15, who disappeared a week ago Monday with a team and lumber wagon. All the sale yards in Kansas City were canvassed, but at none of them had'the team beeu left or sold. It is thought by some that the boy and his companion, whoever he is, would not be so foolish as to drive tight into Kan sas City where they would stand a good chance of being found. These parties think that they would be more Ukeiy to pass south of Kansas City and strike for oblivion in the backwoods of Missouri. Those who think that the boy has mot with foul play are more confident than ever since no trace of the boy has been found in Kansas City. The whble neigh borhood where young Illston live;how ever, think that he has run away. Ills ton's father and others continued the search this afternoon. V Trade In Isrimstoae Very Low.

Everything 'Up-to-Date." HIS DYING WORDS. "An active fighter through the last war -a man who kept well tip with the pro cession of tragedies naturally witnessed and experienced many melancholy happen ings. The four years were to me an un broken chain of instances of man's inhu manity to man and of strange and In many cases heartrending coincidences. Thirty years of active business life havo, of course, served to blot from my memory many of those stirring panoramas, but there is one so weird and so full of melan choly in-eTis:. that t will remain with me as long as this life lasts." So spoke an old soldier as he rested himself in a comforta ble chair in the lobby of the exchange yes terday. "How was it, colonel?" inquired several fellow loafers in concert. Tell us all about it." "Well, it's a tale that a man who desires to preserve intact a reputation for veracity can relate only to his friends. It is as true as gospel, but it is so strange and so unac countable it sounds like a reporter's fake. "It occurred way back in lSt33. We were camped near Lookout mountain. It was the day before the battle of Missionary Ridge. In one of the commands was a handsome young lieutenant from Carroll county, Ga. I cannot for the lifo of me re member his name, but I remember dis tinctly how he looked. He was a gallant, spirited, intelligent fellow. "On the afternoon before the battle he received a box from home. He had a wife and five children there, and each of them sent somo little remembrance. Among oth er of the box's eoii tents was a neat suit of clothes. The lieutenant promptly entered his tent and donned it. He was ordinarily a jolly, cheerful sort of fellow, but when he emerged, decked in his new suit, we saw that something was wrong. 'Boys,' said ho, 'you know I am no coward or sensa tionalist, but somehow the moment I put this suit on I realized I would never live to wear the creases out of it. I am as cer tain to be killed in that fight tomorrow as that tomorrow comes. "We attempted to ridicule his notion, but he continued so serious in his belief that we desisted and left him to figure himself into a pleasanter humor. His mind had not changed by the next morn ing, and his company insisted on his not entering the light, in the face of his strange conviction. The captain was ab sent, however, and the lieutenant positive ly refused to stay out, saying an officer should lead his men wherever duty called him. At the bead of his company he plunged that day into tho thickest of the fight. My company was near his. Almost at tho same instant each of our bodies caught a ball. We were carried to one side aud placed near each other UDder a tree. It was evident his prediction would in a few minutes be verified. Twenty minutes after he was shot he died. "But now comes the strangest part of the story tho part that most affected me and the part which I hesitate always about re lating, "'continued the colonel. "In the last moments of that young soldier's lifo, while he was lying there dying, with hir. head in the lap of a comrade, I heard him moan: 'My poor wife and five little chil dren! What will become of thorn?' Ho died a few minutes afterward, just at tho noon hour. "My wound was not serious, and I was out again in a couple of days. As I limped around the young Georgia soldier in whoso arms Lieutenant had died ran up to me and inquired if I had communicated the fact of the soldier's death to his wife. I replied I had not that I did not know even the name or the residence of tho un fortunate men and had only a camp ac quaintance of a few hours with him. 'Bead this,' ho said, handing mo a let ter directed to tho dead lieutenant. It was written by his wife and expressed her in tense anxiety. It. was dated on the after noon of tho day on which tho battle o? Missionary P.idgo was fought. The loving wife said that at noon of that day, as sho sat musing miles away in Georgia on tho event of these stormy times, she was star tled from her reverie by hearing the voice of her husband say: 'My poor wife and five children 1 What wDl become of them?' Tho voice was so distinctly that of hel husband, sho said, that sho rushed to the door to welcomo the handsome face. Ho thoroughly convinced was she, she stated, that sho searched the premises for him. She said she could not reconcile tho occur rence and that it had added to her anxiety. Sho begged her husband to hasten a reply, that she might know her fright had been a foolish one. "I helped the honest soldier write the melancholy letter advising tho loving wifo of her husband's brave conduct and un timely death. We told her all of tho cir cumstances that led up to it and sect her ail of his simple belongings and the gifts ho had received ou the eve of tho battle, excepting the fatal suit. That was burned by his sturdy comrades as though it had been a thing of evil. I havo never heard anything further about the melancholy case, but I have often wondered how that good Confederate widow was standing the ravages of this rough old world. I never meet a Georgian but that I ask if he comes from Carroli county. I have found somo who claimed it as their home, but none couid inform me of the widow and the fivo babies, only one important chapter in whose history I knew. Perhaps some of the boys are in tho legislature the eldest must be pasf middle age. I will venture they are good men, for their father was ev ery inch a man and a soldier, and their mother was evidently a woman of intelli gence and high character." Robert Mc David in Louisville Courier-Journal. Coffee Poigoni&g. According to a medical rsport from Paris, chronic caffeism is a disease to which little attention is given. "It is al most always, says this doctor, "confound ed with alcoholic troubles, especially with those affecting the digestive and nervous systems." Caffeic dyspepsia very closely resembles alcoholic gastritis. Sometimes 1... li1 rr. tr,r.A io til noriont, l'UC7 UA3LO.-,I.C 1UUU lo OUUU ,11CV jJCl lt7U I 13 refuse everything but bread and coffee.

Treuiulous I noss of the limbs, cramps, insomnia or 1 short periods of sleep interspersed with horrible nightmares are among the symp toms. Palpitation of the heart is less like ly to be present than one might suppose, but a diminution of the pulse is especially apparent. New York Ledger. A GneralizatiOii. "I'm very lonely, said the vivacious young girl, "-y brother is collecting post age stamps, and my sister is so busy col lecting magazine posters that I see scarce ly anything of her. What have you been doing?" "I?" said Cholly somewhat sternly. "I have been collecting my thoughts." "Dear me! What silly fads people do lave nowadays!" Washington Star. HINTS ABOUT NAPERY. BCFFRff cloth,- which are included in ttte list of table linen, are usually made of plain linen, hemstitched and dee orated with any kind of embroidery that will stand washing. Six damask tablecloths, with nap kins to match, are a sufficient supply for ordinary use, as a set of napkins may be allowed to two tablecloths, if the family is small. A peetty idea for a room where the colors will harmonize is to have tho buffet eloth, table center, tray cloth and carver's cloth all of pale pink or ecru linen, embroidered with white. For table linen the material is usual ly either single or double damask though plain heavy linen, hemstitched' and decorated with any kind of em broidery, is sometimes chosen for spe cial occasions. As economical housekeeper who has some fine damask tablecloths that are beg-inning1 to wear out niay convert them into tray cloths by cutting- out the best parts, hemming them and finishing- with torchon lace. The unbleached will prove much more durable, as the chemicals used to whiten the damask injure it in soma degree. The faint yellow tint of thit fiax is not objectionable, and a very, few visits to the laundry will bleach rfc snowy white. Tbay cloths and carvers' cloth not only look well on the table, but are genuine saving1 in the wear and tear of frequent washings, as they catch many a splash of gravy or drop of eoffee which otherwise would soil the fair lin-' en tablecloth. Another point to be remembered concerning- ta blecloths is the ironing1.: The ordinary laundress is apt to make u cross fold, which mars the smoothness' of the linen. Direct her to fold tho cloth lengthwise and then fold ones, more only, also lengthwise. SIMPLE DU MS-WAITER. A STMrCetion for Housewives Who Are Tired of Stair-Cilmblnff. The ordinary dumb-waiter is rather too elaborate for home construction, and is, moreover, somewhat expensive. The construction that is suggested in the accompanying illustrations is sim- pie, and the result is a dumVtvaiter as practical in every way as those that have a closet on the first floor, and a more or less complicated apparatus for lifting the waiter from the cellar be low. As to the advantages of having a dumri-waiter in the house, there can ho no question. One of the hardest tb.ing.-i about housekeeping, particularly in tho country, where ice und refrigerators are not very commonly used, is the re peated going down and up cellar stairs to carry and obtain food that most bt3 kept cool in hot weather. To build the waiter that is shown, Cut an opening in the pantry floor throe- 1 'Liu fourths of an inch larger than the siz of the waiter. From either end of this opening uprights of two by four scant ling are let down to the bottom of tho cellar, where they rest firmly upon firit stones. These uprights contain tho pulleys over which run the cords that are attached to the bottom of the wait er, as shown in the diagram, Thefio pulleys and the cord are the same as are used for raising heavy windows. Guides, not shown ia the diagram, hold the waiter in place, and cause it to ri'i and fail without tilting. These guide i may be in the form of a smooth groove in either upright, in which hardwood pegs upon the sides of the waiter ran smoothly, or they may be of some other character, as circumstances suggest. The waiter itself has side-pieces ex tending from the pantry floor nearly to the cellar floor, the cords b;ing at tached to the lower end. The top v. '.ii come flush with the pantry floor, and may well be made of wood to mnteii that floor. The weights should be open boxes filled with bricks, so that tho weight can be varied from time Ut time, as circumstances demand. Vv'eb'a Donneil, in Country Gentlemnn, Draping the Barks of Tlzno. The upright piano is now placid uni versally, as it should be, with its back tO the room, instead oi to the wali. The back of the instrument has there fore became an objective point for tlia display of a rich or quaint piece of eta broidery. A bit of o'ul Indian wool em broidery, a queer, briiHant-hued man darin robe, a piece ox oriental s?,tin em broidered in many hues, or almost any picturesque piece of work, can be util ized for this purpose. A very pretty effect may be obtained by selecting a I satin in one of tne leading tones oi i color in the room, and embroidering ib with flowers in a free, sketchy way, and then draping it gracefully over the back of the piano, rather tliailj I hanging it stiffly.

Men Who Fought at the Battle of the Blue EKD THEIR REDS ION LAST EYEHING. (Stories Told by Col. Voale, Seuator Martin and Others Some of tlie In cidents. The after-dinner programme of the Bervivora of the battle consisted largely of speeches and the relating of war rem iniscences. Ex-Senator John Martin gave at great length an entertaining history of the battle, the causes which led up to it, and incidents of the fight. G. G. Gage was so pleased with Senator Martin's speech that he announced at ita close that he would have given any stenographer who would have taken it down $50. Colonel Veale acted as master of cere monies and called for Mr. Gage to fol low Senator Martin. Mr. Gage told how the Kansas soldier would fight but did not know how to run. He also told of the memorial monument end thanked those present for the cane and clock pre sented. The inscription on the gold head of the cane presented Mr. Gage read: "G. G. Gage, from comrades at battle of Blue, Oct. 22, lS9-i." One lady expressed the hope that Mr. Gage would never feel old enough to have use for the cane presented. Judge Morton, assistant adjutant gen eral to General Ditzler. spoke of the the fight as he remembered it. Dr. H. W. Roby read an original poem appropriate to the subject, which was well received. Captain A. J. Huntoon related a num ber of the most interesting anecdotes of the day. While told in a modest, unas suming way, it showed the captain to have been in the thickest of the fight from the start. Colonel Veale also related a number of incidents in a happy manner. The youngest soldier present that was at the battle of the Blue was Frank Wolff. His mother carried him in her arms while searching the battlefield after night for her husband's body. The two oldest men who sat down to tho reunion dinner, were John Liranner and A. Porter. They are both men three score and ten. John Cope of Company D, from Joe Shelby's Missouri home, was present. Mr. Cope at one time lived at IS'orth Topeka. Senator John Martin sat among the veterans relating incidents connected with the campaign. They called each other "John and Bill and Jim," andspoke; just like ,is was yesterday rather than thirty-one years ago. John Armstrong related this incident of Senator Martin: "On the Price raid, or juet prior to the battle of the Blue, a cumber of men, principally from Leav enworth, Lawronce and Wyandotte, thought it best not to cross the Missouri line on account of the states rights ques tion. "John Martin arose at a conference one night and said: 'When a man throws dirt at my house 1 am going after him. They have come on our side. I favor retaliation.' Like Pizzaro, of old, they crossed the line, and the results are mat ters of history." S. J. Header showed a large pruning knife that had been taken from him when captured at the tight, and the "Johnnies" had deemed it so worthless they returned it. Captain Huntoon, who was a prisoner at the time, used it to cut rations with. Mr. Header found the knife three years before on the prairie at Indianola. It then appeared as old as now. The woodeu handles had rotted off and buckskin was substituted. Colonel Veale said that a large amount of scrip't issued to loyal men along the border for loss of teams and property was still unpaid. He had come within four votes of getting a bill passed to re compense them, and would have suc ceeded had not Farmer Smith, who tried four times to be governor of Kansas, put in his oar and defeated the motion, Mrs. Colonel Veale, who made the cof fee for the reunion dinner, is a veteran iu the cause on that line. Many a night during the perilous border raids and the Quantrell foray she sat up nights to make coffee. A permanent organization was effected as follows: President. Col. George W. Veale; vice president, G. G. Gage; secre tary, Ed Kellatn; treasurer, A. J. Hun toon. The president was authorized to apnoint an executive committee of five. October 22 was fixed as the date for the annual reunion of the Second Kan sas, and the celebration of the battle of the Blue and Topeka the point The thanks of the association to Lin coln post were voted for the use of the hall.

Having received numerous inquiries as, to why the Novels case had been postponed until November, I desire to answer them through the press, as in that way only can I reach all inquiries. About the 12th of this month Mr. Novels sent for me and reauested that I accept an appointment from the court to ueienu mm. no tuioruiou me mat ma case was set for the 22nd. 1 then told him that I could not go into the case and get ready for trial by the 22nd. He has" no money with which to do anything, and ten days is too short a time to pre pare for a murder trial, even with ample means. It was with the understanding that I should have time for preparation that I accepted the appointment, and it was at the request of the defendant, not of the state, that the trial was postponed. Now a word to the political gentle men who are urging an immediate trial. If Mr. Kepley's friends will show their good will for rranii Nevels by some thing beside's talk; if they will furnish him the money with which to prepare for trial, not a dollar of 5 which to go to the lawyers, I will get ready and try the case before election.

WAITE ESTERTAIHS HIS ADDIEHCE With Stories and Cleverly Wurdfd Statements That Draw .Forth Ap "plnuse Eiooriatca tho Democrats and Charlie Holliday Claps His Hands. The meeting addressed by Governor Waite last evening at Hamilton hall, was a sort of a Charlie Holliday boomlet The young man who aspires to the seat on the supreme court bench now occu pied by Chief Justice Martin came to the meeting early and took a seat at the left of the stage. It was plain to see that there was something on his mind, The people did not know but he did that he was to be chairman and to be allowed to deliver his carefully prepared speech. After Charlie had made his talk ho sat near Gov. Waite and listened intently to what was said. It was astonishing to see the chairman who is rated as a Democrat in the political directory of Kansas applaud most vigorously when the fiery ex-governor delivered a blow from the shoulder straight in the face of the Democracy. Col. Tomliason was on the platform. He is Charlies stage manager and he was there to see that things went off smoothly. There was a satisfied look on his face which indicated that he was pleased. Gormlsv s band kept the peonle on the streets informed that there was a meet- ins, and at 8 o'clock a verv satisfactory crowd had arrived, perhaps a thousand people. There was room lor more in the hall, but a political meeting in an off year seldom draws as well. Col. F. J. Close called the meeting to order, and C H. Kutz, a young man who teaches school near Oakland, nominated Charlie Holliday for chairman. He was elected without opposition iand walked to the stage without assistance, while some of these present applauded. Charlie made a very low bow and raised his hand as a signal that he was about to say something and the audi ence kept quiet. "It 13 pernap3 tilting ana proper, saia the chairman, "in these day of gold bug prosperity that we gather for congrat ulation. We are prosperous Decause tne gold butr Kansas City Times says we are and the Kansas City limes knows what it is talking about because it has already gone where it is trying to put this gov ernment, into the hands of a receiver. We know we are prosperous because oae real estate cumpany in Topeka owns 300 homes. "W'fc know we are prosperous because our laboring men are unemployed, and because real estate has at last reached the zero mark. Some time ago a Republi can senator said that there was but $8 per capita now in circulation, but no less an authori'y than Senator George Vest of Missouri in a speech at St. Louis re cently said that there is but $2,50 per capita now in circulation. I am of the opinion th.it in a short time the gold bus will have us where they want U3 at $1 per capita. And then The speak er raised his hand iu the act of making a sweeping gesture, looked first on one side of the hall aad then on the other, seemed to be groping for some thing, and stopped impressively saying: "But you came here to hear Guv. Waite, and I will not keap you longer. J will now introduce a man who needs no in troduction, Gov. Waite of Colorado." The speech delivered by Gov. Waite was not a disappointment. It was a Populist speech iu which there were no intemperate utterances.' His logic was good, and it is doubtful if the Topeka Populists could find a more con vincing snooker, Some parts of Governor Waiters speach were the same as that delivered when he was here last year nnd lie touched upon the same subjects and followed the same lines of reasoning. Gov. Waite did not like it when Presi dent Cleveland sent soldiers to his state and he has been talking about it every since. He gave that as one of the in stances in which the president usurps his power. "The constitution says dis tinctly that no armed force shall be sent into any state except on the re quest of the legislature, or if the legisla ture is not in session, then on the re quest of the governor," said he. "None of ftese conditions existed. The legis lature was not in session, and the gover nor made no request for troops. Why our county authorities were perfectly able to take care of take care of the dis turbance if there had been any. Besides, sending the soldiers nto our state the United States Marshal swore in 3J0 deputies who were the worst hoboes on earth and they were given orders to pay no attention to any orders of the state courts. Don't you see that this was sus pending the habeas corpus and I sent a little telegraph to Grover Cleveland pro testing against the suspension of the habeas corpus. He did not answer it. (Laughter.) I heard the next day that he had gone fishing." The speaker quoted from utterances of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson to show that the Populist party had only adopted the teachings of those men and had nothing now in the Omaha plat foim. "Debs is in jail now at Woodstock," continued the speaker, "and will be there until next November and he has been imprisoned without a trial by jury, and he was arrested without a warrant. What excuse do they make for their O'.iou. They say that it is in accord ance with the practices of the English courts of chancery. "Now I would like to know," he con tinued, "what in the devil no I "do not mean that. I want to treat every Dem ocrat and Republican with courtesy, and I will change that and say: What in the name of the Honorable Mr. Devil have in this. Yon know if it pays

103 East" Sixth St. the English courts of chancery to do with us (applause) and it was in the time of Charles the 'First at that." The governor reverted to the teach ings of Jefferson, and he said: "These modern Democrats," will get to gether on the 8th of January, and htMre a big drunk, and then howl about Jefferson and Jackson, but 1 assert again there is not a sinirle live issue which was advo cated by Jefferson and Jackson that is not now opposed by the Democratic party." Democratic Chairman Htlliday ap plauded this statement vigorously. "Now 1 want, to issue a challenge," continued the speaker. "If there is a Democrat that can tell me a single prin ciple advocated by those illustrious Dem ocrats not'now opposed by their party I would like to have him stand up and tell me what it is," f Ex-Gov. Glick, who sat on a front seat was the object of many eyes. He didn't offer to stand up. "Is it possible?" continued Gov. Waite, "that there is uot a Democrat left in To peka. Have they all joined the Repub licans?" A voice: "No, they have joined the Populists." As the speaker proceeded he told funny stories and though some were old they served the purpose of keeping the audi ence in good humor. DILAPIDATED OLD IJUJfG HOLES. Funny Story Tola by Got. Waite at i petiss of the Old Parties. The funniest story told by Governor Waite last night was new in Topeka. As he told it it was meant to represent how far both old political parties had depart ed from their foundation principles. It was said that a farmer back in Penn sylvania had a brrel that was 100 years old which had been in constant use aud a man who was traveling through the country heard about it and decided that he would go to see it. The owner met him at the door. 'T understand that you have a very old barrel," said the visitor. "I would like to see it." "All right, come right in," and the owner led the way to an inner room. There stood the barrel and the visitor at once began to examine if, After he had examined the heads closely, he said: "Why, my dear sir, these heads are surely not 100 years old. They appear new." 'Oh, I forgot to tell you before you came in that those heads are new. In 18SS the old heads gave out and we put in new ones. Yes, those are new heads "And these staves," contin ued the visi tor as he wout ou with his examination. "They look new, too." "I'm yes. those stavei are not 100 years old, that is true. In 18JJ some of the old stave3!Were broken and we put in a uew set of staves." The visitor went on looking. "The hoops here havJ a verv recent look. Are they 100 years old?" "Well, to tell the truth in 1832 some of the hoop3 were broken and I had to have new hoops put on all around." "Well I would like to know," said the visitor, "what there U about the barrel that is 100 years old?" "The bung holes are." That is just the way it 13 with the two old parties said Governor Waite they are nothing but a couple of dilapidated old bung holes. SNAP SHOTS AT HO.VIE NEWS.

"Guess waat I've done with my watch, Em'ly?" asked Mr. Rising, with an air of great self possession. "Don't tell me, John, that you've lost It," Mrs. Rising replied, with true wifely slarm. "Nothing of the sort, Em'ly. Don't you worry about me. I've sold it." "What did you get for it, John?" "I got f 10 and boot, Mrs. Rising; that's what I got for an old silver timepiece which never kept time," was Mr. Rising's proud response. "I'm glad if you think it was a good bargain, John," Mrs. Rising remarked somewhat timidly. Who has the watch now?" Young Nicoll. But I haven't told you about the boot that's the profit, you know." "It seems queer to me that you wanted Si, .Tohn. "Well, now, Em'ly, I'd like to know why?" Mr. Rising responded in a long differing tone. "No reason, John, only young Nicoll's so much smaller than you he's just a boy, you know," said Mrs. Rising half apologetically. "Now, Em'ly, Nicoll's old enough to know what he wants, and a bargain 's a bargain. Any man that's a man takes a good thing whon he soes it." "That's just the question, John. Was it a good thing? If there'd been a pair it would seem diff crept," Mrs. Rising said firmly. "But he didn't have a pair, Em'ly. He only had one it's a dandy, and I'm mighty glad to have it." And Mr. Ris ing's spirits rose again. "When will you wear it, John?" asked Mrs. Rising, returning to the charge. We're not 011 the plains, Em'ly, so I'll not woar it; I'll use it nights." "For cats, John;;" "Possibly for cats, but it'll be handy on the electric cars. "John Rising, will you tell me what you can do with one boot on tho electric cars?:' Mrs. Rising domanded. Mr. Rising looked at his wife and then said gently: "Em'ly, the boot is a revolver." Chi cago Times-Herald. r Bertie's Letter.

It has been said that all men are cow ards in tho dark, and there is doubtless some truth in the statement. Two officers of the BrUish army in India had a diffi culty which resulted in a duel. The colonel, the challenged party, was an old campaigner wli had won his laur els in the Crimea, and was a most gallant soldier. Tho choice of weapons being his, he named pistols, and elected that tho af fair should occur in a dark room. We secured a room 20 feet square, says the narrator of tho incident, closed every crevico that would admit light, placed our men iu corners diagonally opposite, and withdrew. Each man was provided with throe charges, and when these were exhausted we rushed iu to gather up the mutilated remains. Each man stood evoct and soldierlike in bis corner, untouched, but directly behind the officer who hud given the challenge were tlvreo bullet holes made by the colo nel's pistol. "How is this?" said a grizzled major. "Had you been standing here when those shots were" lirod, you would bave been killed." The culprit was forced to admit t-at he had dropped to one knee. "Yon are a coward, sir, and nnflt for the company of soldiers and gentlemen!" cried the major. "Hold on, major!" said the colonel. "It is a stand off. While he was on his knees in one corner, I was on my stomach in the other." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Particular. "Are you tho warden of this here jail?" he inquired as he leaned on the stick over which he had carried his bundle. "I am," was the reply. "Well, how's the wentilation?" "Why, good, of course."
