TWO CENTS. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 6, 1895. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. REPUBLlCAllSGETftLL They Carry Everything Where They Had a Show. Jfew York i3 Eepublican by a Handsome Majority. TAMMANY IS ON TOP. Wins the Day in the City of .New York. Ohio, Kentucky, New Jersey and Maryland Go Republican. Niw York. Nor. 6. With the total vote in New York 60,000 less than it was for mayor one year ago, Tammany ball's local ticket polled abont 1G,000 mors bal lots than were cast for Hugh J. Grant last November, while it it estimated that the anti-Tammany vote is something like 40,000 smaller than that which wag given to Strong last year. The registration was about 55,000 in excess of the ballots cast. The Fusion ist leaden admit that for some reason there was an absence of unity of pur pose and concert of action that character ized the work of the anti-Tammany forces last year. In tbis city the majority for the Dem cratic state ticket is approximated at 10,000 greater than the average of the majorities of the Tammany local candi dates, which are from 25,000 for Sogmer for recorder, to 17,000 for Purrey for county clerk. The last named is the chairman of the Tammany committee on organization. Returns received by the Associated Press from all but 497 of the 3,383 elec tion districts north of the Harlem river, .in New York state, give Palmer (Republican), for secretarv of state, 344,709; King (Demo crat) 224,715. a Republican plurality of 119,994, outside of New York and Kings county, showing a republican gain of 26,333 compared with 18a3. Deducting the Democratic plurality below the Harlem, the Republican plu rality in the state at large will be in ex cess of 70.000. Sew York, Nov. 6. A list of the new legislature based upon corrected returns from nearly all the election districts and careful estimates in others shows that the state senate will consist of thirty-five Hi-publicans, fourteen Democrats and one Independent, tand the assembly will be made up of ninety-nine Republicans and lifty-one Democrats. KENTUCKY FEOBal'XI HEPUBIICAJI Meery Democrat io Losses i o Reported From All Over tlie State. Lotjisvixi,e, Nov. 6. The story of yes terday in Kentucky was very much like that of a year ago. It was something in the nature of another land slide. Old Democratic strongholds huve gone Repubiican while others have suf fered a serious diminution of their accustomed majority. The returns from over eighty counties, including Jef ferson, give Bradley a lead of about 4,000. Among the counties not re ported are some that are strongly Demo cratic and others that are strongly Re publican. The Courier-Journal (Dem says: "Democrats of Kentucky are asking where thev stand today. It was aa ava lanche. The governor's race is in doubr. The legislature is in doub". Democratic majorities in Democratic strongholds have been shavod to almost nothing. As it stands, with reports from about eighty counties Bradley has a lead of about 4,000 votes lor governor. There may be better news to come from the un reported counties, but the same ratio of Democratic losses would lauu Mr. Brad ley in the executive mansion at Frank fort." It is an open question whether either Senator Blackburn or llr. McCreary, or neither will be United States senator from Kentucky. The Democrats havo elected 41 representatives and the He publicans have elected fifty. There ara nine districts in which the result is doubtful, or unreported. Those nine dis tricts were Democratic in the last house. If they are Durnocratio this time the house will be a tie. Of the hold-over senators, five are Re publicans and fourteen Democrats, mak ing the vote on joint ballot staud: Demo crats 65, Republicans 64; unreported and doubtful districts, 9. Of the forty-one Democrats elected to the house, Blackburn may prettv safely count on S3 and Mr. 11c Creary on 15, while four have expressed no choice. Republican headquarters claim the Bta'.e by about 15,000 and the lower branch of the legislature by five to six votes. All of the returns received up to noon show that Bradley's majority is' growing. He claims the state by 15,000. Tho probabilities are that he is elected by from 8,000 to 12,000. Harrodsburo, Ky., Nov. 6. General Hardin, who is at his brother's home in this city, concedes Bradley's election from returns received. He takes his de feat cheerfully, Lancaster," Ky., Nov. 6. Col. Bradley is receiving congratulations from all over the state this morning. OHIO REPCBI.ICAXSCt.AtM95.OO0. They Uv. Both Branches of the I.rCi,U ture and aTrera.tidnu. Stnte Majority. Columbus, O., Nov. 6. Chairman An derson of the Democratic state commit tee says all reports and indications up to this afternoon show a Repub lican plurality of 80,000 to 90.00;). Chairman Kurtza of the Republican state committee says the plurality will be 65,000. House, 87 Republicans, 13 Dem ocrats; senate, 30 Republicans, 5 Demo crats, with two senators in the Thirty second district in doubt. J. R. GABFILELD ELECTED. Bob of the I-ate President Has at Tremend oqi Mrjorlty. Akron, O., Nov. 6. Jamei R. Garfield, on of the late president was elected state senator from the Twonty-fourth and Twenty-sixth districts by an enormous plurality. (.The district is normally Ue publican b'y 10,000 but he has carried it by over 14,000. Running with him on the Republican ticket was Whittlesey, who has been state senator for several, years. Gar field's plurality is greater than his by 2.000. The district which ie will repre sent is almost identically the same as when his father was first chosen in 1857 to the office. A remarkable coincidence was the fact that Garfield was nominated on July 2, the fourteenth anniversary -of his father's assassination. He is a sraduate of the Columbia law school of New York, and for seven years has practiced law in Cleveland, He resided in Mentor, DEMOCRATS GIVE CP KENTUCKY. The Election of lirsadley 1. Conceded by 8,000 to 10,O0O, Washington, Nov. 6. A special to the Star from Louisville, Ky., says that Hardin concedes the election of Bradley, and that the Republicans claim the legisla ture, whicii' would defeat Senator Black burn. A private telegram received here from Mr. Van Senden, Secretary Carlisle's private secretary now in Kentucky states that Bradley is elected governor by from 4 000 to 8 000. Frankfort, Ky. Nov. 6. The legis lature appears to be 65 Democrats against 69 opposition. The Populists hold the balance of power. Blackburn's friends claim his election with the aid of Populists. Cincinnati, Nov. 6. The Times-Star's special from Lexington, Ky., says: Dem ocrats here concede the election of Bradley (Rep.) for governor by between 8,000 and 10,000. The silver Democrats are bitter in their denunciation of President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, and charge them with the responsibility of the sweeping defeat. NOT PARTISAN IN COLORADO. The Water Company la Defeated in the Denver Election. Denver, Nov. 6. Party lines were not closely drawn in the Colorado county election!", but the Republicans claim to have made pains outside of Denver. In this (Arapahoe) couuty the election was very close, the result being still in doubt as to some of the offices. Two candidates ou the Taxpayer's ticket, Gen. Frank Hall for treasurer, and Willard L. Ames for assessor, ap pear on the returns so far- received to have been certainly elected. The Re publicans probably Irold all the other offices. The result is regarded as a defeat of the tramway company and the Denver Union Water company, 'which fought Ames bitterly on account of his efforts as an alderman co secure a reduction of water rates. CHICAGO REP U21I.I CANS. The Republican Carry Cook County by SI.OOO to ati.OOO Majority. Chicago Nov. 6. The olection in Cook county (Chicago) yesterday proves to have been a Republican landslide, the candidates of that party beinu chosen bv majorities ranging from 31,000 to 36,000. The election was for two judges of the superior court and nine trustees for the $30,000,000 drainage canal which is to connect Lake Michigau and the Illinois river. As thesa trustees are voted for on the cumulative plan, each of the parties nominated five can didates, it being agreed that the one re ceiving the smallest number of votes on either aide should be out. Under this arrangement the Republi cans elected five and the Democrats four of the truteee. The Republican candi dates for judge were also chosen by large majorities and the vote in favor of the Torrans land title system was nearly unanimous. The vote for: he candidates nominated by the People's and Socialist Labor parties was very small. RESULT IN UTAH. Roth Republicans nnd Democrats Claim the Legislature and Governor. Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 6. The Dem ocratic central committee claims the elec tion of the Democratic candidate for srovernor by from oJO to 5U0, while the Republicans claim the state ticket by about 1,300 majority. Glendenning, Re publican, for mayor, is elected by a plu rality of 705. Both parties claim the legislature but no figures are given on either side. The Tribune's extra edition gives re turns from 145 voting precincts aa fol lows: For governor: Wells. Republican, 13. 028; Caine, Democrat. 11,850. Net Re publican gain of 1.017. In this judicial district indications point to the defeat of all Republican nominees. The legisla ture will be Recublican. NEW JERSEY GOKS REPUBLICAN. The Plurality of Griscr la Estimated at 24,000. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 6. The Demo crats have elected but ono senator, Daly in Hudson, while the Republicans elect ed senators in Atlantic, Cumberland, .Morris, Ocean and Bergen counties.This will make the senate stand 18 Republi cans and 3 Democrats. The assembly will stand 42 Republicans and 18 Demo crats. Griggs' estimated plurality is 24,300. A. P. A. VICTORIOUS IN OMAHA. The Entire County Ticket ie Captured Ry That O.-sunizatlon.

IS FOR RESUBMISSION. Judge Horton Favors the Sub mitting of the Question. Kepler's Majority Less Than Three Hundred. STAY AT HOMES DID IT. Liquor Men and Colored Nevels Sympathizers Got Together Blacks Break Away from Republican Party. Ex-Chief Justice Albert H. Horton thinks the election of yestorday shows that the people of Kansas want the ques tion of prohibition resubmitted to a vote. To a State Journal reporter Judge Horton said: "I thiuk the local election result means that the question of proh: j ition must be sooner or later resubmitted to a vote of the people. Have you just arrived at that opin ion?" asked the reporter. "No; I have been thinking so for al most a year. From the way the people are acting it seems to me tnat the friends of prohibition have quit fighting, and I really believe a majority of the people of the state want the question resubmitted." "Dj you think resubmission would carry if the question is submittedt" "Yes, I think it would. I think a ma jority of the people of the state have come to believe that local option is the proper way to handle the liquor traffic.' 'Do you think then that the election of Bob Kepley means that the people of Topeka want saloons?" "No, I do not; but the inactivity cf the friends of prohibition was ono of the causes which led to his election and it is the inactivity oi the temperance people over the state whicn loads me to believe that the question of resubmission will sooner or later be resubmitted to a vote of tho people." At ItrpubUcan Headquarters. There was a gloom over Republican headquarters today. David 13urdre, the Repuulicau candidate for sheriff went down to defeat in this couuty which has baen giving Republican majorities rang ing between two and three thousand. There is a blot on the recard of the ban ner Republican county iu the state. Charley Elliott can no longer sympa thize with the other counties with their majorities of two or three hundred. Old Shawnee is covered with dust and Re publican banners are at half mast. While the tight on the slierlff was man aged by the whisky element of the party and the Democrats, there were Repub licans that bolted tho nominee of their party. Some did it for cine reason and some for others. Some voted against Burge because he has been active iu prosecuting the violators of the prohibitory law: soma voted against him because he has been in office a long time; some voted against him because he appointed Tom Wilkerson under sheriff; some voted against him because they were down on what they called "tho court house gang;') Feme voted against him because they were tired of voting one way and wanted a change; but most of all is the defeat due to a large stay at home vote made up of peo ple who were indifferent. There should have been at least 5,000 votes cast, and there were less than 4,000. The registra tion was considered small when it ouly amounted to 7,4G4, but the vote was very light in proportion to the number regis tered. Today Charley Elliott is considering the advisability of having a law enacted compelling people to vote or offering a reward for those that do. At noon the record showed a majority against Kurdge of i:o0, but there were a half uozen country precincts yet to hear from. How tlio Ccunfy Went. The country gave Burdge a majority, though in lecumseh township Kepley had a majority of b'Q and in South Mis sion precinct Kepley was given a ma jority of 3. In Auburn township Burdge received a majority of 97. The township tickets are somewhat divided though a majority of Republi cans were elected. In Dover township a Republican trustee and treasurer were elected and a Populist clerk: fh Tecumseh a Populist clerk was also elected. The Republican tickets were elected iu Mis sion aud Auburn townships. There was not much of a contest on the office of county commissioner in the south district, and Kelsey, the Repub lican candidate, is elected over LaVigne, Independent, by a big majority. The bridtre bonds have carried, but it "is not yet possible to tell what the majority will be. The coun try ;is alrco.t solid against the bridge, though there may be one or two precincts on the North side where it received a majority of the votes. The majority of 2,'jy7 in the city cannot ba overcome, and so the bridge proposition is safely carried. The farmers voted against the bridge because they are op posed to the issuance of more bond?, and mauy of them think that the city should build the bridge without the help of the county, although they couldn't get across the river without a bridge. The proposition to sell the old court house was defeated as it deserved to be. The people in the country joined with the voters in the city to defeat the mea sure, and it is doubtful if the proposition received 1.500 votes in the entire county. This ought to satisfy the county commis sioners for a short time at least. The Democrats and Kepley supporters made the night hideous when they found that their candidate had really been elec ted. They gathered in the office of the commissioner of elections and at the Kansas Democratic Flambeau club rooms on lower Kansas avenue and made speeches and jollified until an early hour this morning. The majorities, given in the city were as follows: For chief justice, Martin, 740; for county treasurer, Stahl. 1,812; for sheriff, Keplev, 799; for register o deeds, Brooks 2!i01; "for county clerk, McCabe, 2,261; fur county superintendent of public in struction, tbtouf, 1,80 4; for county survey or, Bailov, l.StiO; for coroner, Wester field, 1,242- for the bridge bonds, 2.097: againft selling the old court house 1,530. Lite Country Precinct. Most of those who brought in the poll books from the country precincts failed to bring statements of the votes cast and for that reasjn the complete results from fome of the precincts will uot be known until the vote is canvassed next Friday. The results on the vote for sheriff re ceived this afternoon were as follows: RossviUe JJurdga 154, Kepley 138. Silver Lake Burdge 97, Kepley 78. Oakland Burdge 136, Kepley 9 J.

WHAT KEPLEY SAYS. He Proposes to Knfurev All the Laws As He Plods Them. V. B. Kepley, tr winner of yester- Tccfa j?'s' 'fntcm&ticnai,,- Mrriie" J5 iuke of Mrl boroaa h'fj day's political battle, said to a State Jouknal reporter today: "I am very well satisfied with the result, and my majority will be about 000 in the county. 1 wa3 slaughtered some places in tho country, but that is all right, I mads up for it in town, and if the full vote had been out I would havo had from 1,000 to 2,000 majority. "I will tell you how this was done. It was.done just by hard work and by get ting around tinong tho people and see ing them personally. During the four months of the campaign, nine out of every ten days I did not have any money, not even a uicklo in my pocket to pay street car fare, but ray friends were loyal from the start to the finish. All this talk about my election being a slam at law and order is all bosh. Why, the business men of Topeka were for me. Why, thero was Al Thompson and Hy Dillon and some of those fellows, they post poned starting on their hunting trip until yesterday afternoon, just so they could vote for me. "As to my policv as sheriff, I propose to enforce oil the laws as I find them on the statute books, but I want it distinct ly understood that 1 ill not confine my efforts to arreetiog one-legged men who violate the prohibitory law and allov drugstore saloons to run wide open and unmolested right across the street from the court house, a3 has been done. I pro pose that my administration shall be in the interest of the people of the county, and the office of sheriff will be run en tirely without partiality." KEPlELltAN TKAIIOR", Who Defeated the bhsrifT, Says Chairmaa Elliott. Chairman Charles S. Elliott of tho Re pubiican county central committee said: "The surprise was the other way when the votes were counted, but I want to say that the central committee as a whole, never worked harder or more faithfully than in this campaign. "The defeat of Dave Burdge was, how ever, caused by traitors among the work ers in camp. Prominent workers even among the members of the Republican Flambeau club, city employes and men who have worked for the couuty during the last year went back on us and worked for Kepley at the polls. We suspected that soma of these were for Kepley, but they all protested that they were working for the uutire Republican ticket. It was the work of these traitors which caused the defeat of Dave Burdge." A prominent member of the county central committee said: "This election shows that a successful campaign can't be carried on in Shawnee county without the ue of money. For three years the committee has been tryiug to run its campaign without money but a cheap campaign don't win as is shown by the result oi this election." HOLL1DAV FKELS WELL To Think He Got Lirge n Vote as He Did. Charles K. Holliday, who was not elected chief justice was .on the street bright and early this morning telling bow good he felt over the big vote he re ceived in Topeka and in some other parts of the state. "I feel that the vote Concluded SHE'SHOW A DUCHESS Miss Vanderbilt and Duke of Marlborough Married. The Ceremony Took Place at 12:30 O'clock Today. CROWDS OF CURIOUS. Peoples warm Around theChurch to See the Principals. Many Policemen Keep the Jost ling Mob Movimr Along. New York, Nov. 6. The Duke of Marlborough and Miss Cousuelo Vander bilt were married at Sr. Thomas church, Fifth avenuaand Fifty-third street, today at 12:30 o'clock. The threatening aspect of the weather early this morning prevented the gather ing of a large crowd, although as early as 8 o'clock a number of women had monopolized the entrance to the Twombly mansion, adjoin ing tho church, and their example was followed bv later arrivals who took advantage of railings, door and garden plots, and in s ime instances window sills wore occupied by women. As the hour for opening the church approached many of the guests who were waiting in the vicinity in their car riages drove up to the entrances on 53rd street and Fifth avenue and alighting, got in line in a good natured way. The crowd at this time began to swell, and tho police in charge of four precinct commander.", under orders from Inspec tor Kortwright, kept the spectators mov ing, none being permitted to loiter iu frout of the approaches to the edifice, and there was no unnecessary crush iu the immediate vicinity of the entrances through which the bridal party, or guests had to pas?. Every arrival at the church was eager ly scanned by the crowd, but very little could be soen of any of the costumes by outsiders, owing to the awnings which enclosed the entire length of the curbs and which prevented the guests from be ing seen on alighting from their car riages. The crowd, however, made up for this by surrounding the carriages which wera in line, men and women scrambling and jostling against each other in their eagerness to sec tho occupants. Tho crowd around the Vanderbilt home on Seventy-second street was not large, owing probably to the efforts of the police. Hesidents in the vicinity were out in force upon thoir stoops, and all of the windows in the hotel facing tho bride's home were occupied, principally by women. The Vanderbilt servants left for the church early where they were accom modated with seats in front, as well as tutors and governesses of the family. Among tha very early arrivals were Miss Armida Smith, sister of lirs. Van derbilt, aud a maid who drove over early and entered the church. The Mortons, Jays, Belmonts, Goelets and Cuttings arrived early and chatted pleasantly among themselves while they waited for the doors to open. The acsae iusido the church was one which will never bo forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have gained admission. The church was not overcrowded and the arrangements were perfect. Women of wealth and so cial prominence vied with each other in the richness and grandeur of their equipage, lending to the occasion the brilliancy of an old world court func tion. The guests, as they were admitted were conducted to pews by the ushers. At half past ten Dr. Warren, the organist, entered the chair stalls attired iu casock, surplice and crimson hood, and for over an hour performed a varied programme'on the organ. This programme was followed by one performed by th New York Symphony orchestra with Walter Dam rojch an director. Mrs. Vanderbilt, and S r Julian Paunce fote representing tho duke's family, en tered the church through different doors shorily before noon. The bridegroom, accompanied by the best man, then walk ed from the vesiry to the chancel rail where they were soon joined br the bride and her maids. Miss Vanderbilt was preceded bv her bridesmaids. She fol- lowed, leanine upon the arm of her father, W. K. Vanderbilt. V Y When the bride reached the chan cel rail the choir accompanied by organ and harp sang "O perfect love, all perfect love abound ing," set to music by Barnaby. At its conclusion Dr. Brown, the rector, came forward, and in a sonorous tenor voice read the introductory and charge. Dr. Brown was followed by Bishop Potter, who, aided by Bishop Littlejohn, performed the marriage ceremony, which began at 12:30 o'clock sharp. The choir then sang the anthem from the English service. "God be merciful unto us and bless us." The benediction was then pronounced, and the bride, leaning on the arm of the grcom entered the vestry, where the marriage regiter was signed, and wit nessed by Mrs. Vanderbilt, W. K. Van derbilt,Sir Julian Paunreforte.Dr. Brown aud Bishops Potter and Littlejohn. The Burging crowds outside were kept back' by tho 200 policemen, and immediately tho ducal couple had entered their carriage they were driven rapidly to the Vander biit home, where Mrs. Vanderbilt, who had left the church by a side door imme diately after the signing of the register, awaited theux The duke and duchess proceeded to the reception room, where, standing be neath an immense floral bell, they re ceived the guests invited to the break fast, among whom were W. K. Vander bilt, Sir Julian Pauncefote, and members cf the British embassv. THE DMvli's PALACE. Dleuheim Has 200 Kootns and Requiras 300 Servants. The Duke's success iu securing a wife with a great fortune will enable him to keep iu repair Blenheim paiace, the greatest private dwelling in Euglund, aud his conduct is to a certain extent patriotic. The Blenheim palace was a gift of the -nation to John Churchill, the first Duko of Marlborough, the greatest general England ever had. Blenheim was the greatest of a series of victories won by Marlborough at tho head of the grand alliance over the armies of Louis of France. Parliament failed to supply sufficient money to continue the building of Blen heim and it wus only completed through the contributions of Queen Anne aud George I. Blemheim contains 000 rooms, and re quires tho services of oJO servants. It ii surrounded by an estate of 3,700 acres. The palace is a heavy majestic classical building, the work of Sir John Van brugh. The late duke's American wife, for merly Mrs. Hamersley, is said to have spent $6,OJO,000 in repairing Blenheim. A price canuot be put on Blenheim as on the Vanderbilt pioperties. It is worth millions to the man who can appreciate it and afford to live in it. i.Miss Vanderbili's dowry, which will be $10,0:10,000. will enable her to live with dignity as the mistress of Blenheim, al though it will not be excessive. As one of W. K. Vanderbilt's three clu.dren. she will inherit her share of the following properties: A fortune'of $70,000,000. A house at Fifth avenue and Fifty secjnd street. New York, valued at $3,000,000 Mcrhle Hall, Newport, valued at 2, 000,000. A house and estate at Oakdale, L. I., valued at $000,000. Tho steam yacht Valiant, valued at ?00O,00A Ilulia?, diamonds and other jewels, valued at 300,000. okTahojia WET. A Fleavr Downpour Throughout the En tire Territory, AYliK-ii Whs Very Dry.

(Hie') (hie-) hurrah for Kepley. ONE OF THE LESSONS. The defeat of Sheriff Burdge by sev eral hundred votes is due to one fact plainly pointed out ia the JouRXAt. be fore the election. Tho people were disgusted. They were sufficiently disgusted to not only greatly reduce Burdgo's vote, as foreshadowed by the Jouun'ai,, but to reduce the result to a defeat by a narrow majority. Hosts of good Republicans refused to vote; others went further and voted for Kepley to emphatically register their protests. When a Republican 6horiff pretendj to enforce the prohibitory enactment by sending his chief officer who gets on a big drunk while he attempts to uphold that law as did Tom Wilkerson at Ross viUe a great many become weary. They will not forgive the sheriff when he refuses to reprimand his representa tive by a summary discharge. Actions speak louder than words and count for more. When the Republican police depart ment of this city allows miudiin olficiais to represent it; and when there is a generul looseness about the enforcement of various la.vs besides; and a whole lot of politic il hypocrisy among the leaders of an al leged enforcement of the prohibitory law many people get awfully tired. Eaough cot tired yesterday to defeat Burdge, The other fellows never get tired. A lot of people hate hypocri.ty as much as they do free whisky. FAST UOKSES DID IT. Frank Miletiani's Sliortiisr Amounts to Something Otsr jO.OJO. Topeka has not been shockod for a: Ion? time as it was by the announce ment that Frank Miieham, chief clerk in the money order division at the post ollice, has been suspended for a shortage of 3,313 in his accounts. Mr. Miieham has not been arrested and it is not likely he will be. Tho loss will be made good by his family, and United States District Attorney Perry says he is not in favor of prosecuting the young man. "There 3 puuishmeut enough in the exposure," he says. Frank Miieham was known to almost everybody in Topeka and was accounted one of the most honest of men and effi cient of employes. He was raised in Topeka, and is now thirty-three years of ago. A shortage was discovered in Mile ham's accounts some weeks ago of ovar $300. Saturday po3totiice inspectors arrived and the work of ferreting out the shortage was fiuished last night. Miieham admitted the shortage. The system of transacting business in the office is largely blamed by the inspect ors. It seems that when a person would appear with several large money orders that it would require nearly all of the mouey on hand vo pay, Miieham would issue due bills for a balance of it and these would circulate about the city as money and finally come back for pay ment. It was these outstanding due bills that made the shortage possible. Frank Miieham was seen. Ha did not want to taik about his trouble much. "I shall stay right in Topeka," he said, "and live this thing down. This is the place to do it, I shall get work at some thing. Money is no object. I want to work and regain what I have lost. I have &eon this thing coming for threo or four months and have made every effort to borrow the money to make tho short age good befora it could ba detected. I hud failed, and was going to ask my father and mother to help me Sunday, but tho blow fell Saturday. 1 have confessed everything, aid all the money will be pid back, aud I will s'.art in life over again. I, do not look on it as a theft. I had never iutended to keep the money. I had some horses nnd it cost a grout deal to keep them up. It was a great mistake, aud 1 shail livo it down right here." Miieham was under rj.,000 bonds, but his bondsmen will lose nothing. ALMOST A FATALITY. A Horse Step fquarriy on I.Ulle K:trl Haskell's Ile:;!.

2 STATE JOURNAL., WEDNESDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 6, 1895. HIS TOHfiUEOF FIRE. Wonderful Tillman Holds South Carolina in His Hand. AristocraticSoutliernersSquirm Under His Lash. GLOOMY "AND SAVAGE This One-Eyed Man Looms Up Anions: Men Like an Evangel an Portent of devolution. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 6. The rem nants of the aristocratic element of South Carolina Democracy are raging under the lash of Senator Ben Tillman's fearful tongue leanings at the constitutional con vention. He linked the negroes and the aristocrats together and excoriated tl.em tn one breath. Senator Tillman's unparal leled indictment of the negro race in the convention was addressed to the north as a defense of what South Car olina proposes to do in order to maintain white supremacy, in spite of the con stitution of the United States. But the most astonishing thing about this great speech was its frank admissions. "Do we intend to commit fraud under our new suffrage plan?" he said. "I deny it. Fraud is illegal; we do not propose to da anything illegal. But the 'understanding' clause will for two years allow the while registration otiicer to de cide whether an illiterate shall vote or not. We intend no fraud only unfair ness, as it were; simply partiality or dis crimination; nothing more. No white man will lose his vote. That is what I meant when I said I would drink from the poisoned chalice for two years and then throw it away forever." There is not another man in the south who would make an admission like that, but then there is not another man in the south like Tillman. While he was pouring out his soul he Beemed to efface friends and foes alike, and there was but one voice, one face, one mind, and one all-controlling, threatening eye. "Ah!" groaned Mr. Smalls, the negro, you crack your whip and lash the con vention to show that you own it, but for God's sake leave us poor negroes alone!" The negro delegates seemed to shrivel In their 6eats when ho attacked them. Tillman looked like some figure risen out of the aavage, confused past, with his corpse-tike visage and withering tonirue. Tillman began with a description of South Carolina when the negro was in power. In eight years the carpet-bag government collected $10,165,114 in taxes, more than $5,000,0U0 in excess of the expenses of the government. A bar room was opened in the state house for state officials, judges, senators, members of the house, lawyers, editors and citi zens generally. The legislature blos somed out in $6J0 clerks, $3 cuapidore, $200 crimson plush sofas, sponge mattresses and ori ental pillows, $0J plush Gothic chair?, $80 library tables. $3t hat racks, $51) desks, !j8i) to $170 office desks, f 100 wardrobes, body BrussulU carpeting, finest Havana cigars, champagne, $0u0 mirrors, f COO brocatel curtain, lambre quins and $80 walnut and gilt cornices. The cost of printing the eight years of negro rule was $717,539 more than the printing bills of the Btate for seventy eight years previous. Fraud reigned supreme, checks were altered, bonds were issued illegally, the honor and credit of the state dragged in the dust. "Whj-," cried Tillman, "there are South Carolina bonds quoted in the stock li3ts of New York at one cent on the dollar to the shame of this common wealth. That was the result of the negro domination. I went with the state treasurer to New York two years ago, in the hope of floating our securities and we were dogged by the agents of Henry Clews, who said: 'Pay these bonds that bear the leal of your state or you can have no recogni tion in our money ;marketi'" Suddenly a negro delegate, Mr. Wigg, leaped to his feet, and declared that the senator had mentioned frauds committed by white men. "That's all right, Wigg" shrieked the orator, shaking his bony finger in the air, "just you wait and I'll find plenty of wigs for you." Presently Tillman denounced ex-Governor Chamberlain as a prince of Bcoundrels, and declared that after his overthrow the aristocracy had received him with open arms. Judge Barker, of Charleston, denied this, whereat Air. Miller, a negro, aroae and with upraised hands said: I'll swear that I saw the flower of Charleston society lawyers, doctors and bankers hobnobbing with Cham berlain in his private car at a social function." "Ay, grin, grin, grin," hrieked Till man, turning on the Charleston dele gates. "Pharisees!" There was a hush in the house. "In those days of villiany and corruption and misrule," continued Tillman, "those who have passed away never dared to leave their firesides with out dread that when they returned they would find some barm or hurt to their families, dared not go forth, when our oourts of justice were filled with bribery and disgrace, when the judges were not free from bribery. How did it come bout and who must bear the blame? We are told that the negro did not do it. Oh, he didn't do it. But he was the in strument with which it was done." Turning to the negro delegates, "You blindly followed and obeyed the orders of the treed man's bureau and ignored the appeals of your masters, who had treated you with kindness. I myself can testify that appeal after appeal was made by me. And by every white man in this state to the negroes on his planta tion to help throw off his burden of mis rule and degradation and to the last the colored man blindly followed where these white creatures ordered. "Was it not negro government? The negro furnished the ballot, and that is what we are here to deal with. The ne groes put their little piece of paper in the boxes that gave the commissions to the white scoundrels who were their leaders and the men who debanched the state, and this must be our justification and our vindication and our excuse to the world.

The count in Brockton hag. not been concluded at this hour. f J The hopes of the friends of female suffrage have been buried. Hardly a town that voted shows a majority in favor of the proposition to grant suffrage to women in municipal affairs. A fair estimate of the result would bethree voters against female suffrage to one in its favor. ftlurylaad. Baltimore, Nov. 6. Baltimore city vote for governor complete: Lowndes, Republican, 55,110; Hurst, Democrat, 43,237; Levering, Pro., 2,377; Andrews, Pop. and Socialist, 433. For mayor: Hooper, Republican, 53.116; Williams, Democrat, 45,217; Atwood, Pro., 1,973; Golden, Socialist and Labor, 384. In the First and Third legislative dis tricts the Republicans elect a senator and six members of the house of delegates and six members of the house of delegates in the Second district. In the city council the Republicans will have a majority of twelve in the first house and four in the second. Incomplete returns from the state of Maryland, including Baltimore city, in dicate the election of Lowndes, Republi can governor, by at least 15,000 to 16,000 majority, carrying along with him the reBt of the ticket, the controller and at torney general. 'J he house of delegates will perhaps have more than sixty Republicans. The senate will be close with the chances in favor of a Republican majority. On joint ballot the Republicans will have no uoubt a safe majority. IJf Kiil;lLAsKA. Surprising Strength Shown by the Hard Money Democrats. Omaha, Nov. 6 Returns from thi3 state are not complete, but they are suffi cient to show surprising strength in the administration Democracy so-called, or hard money wing of the parly. Honey, for supreme judge, will probably have three times the vote of the silver candi date. The Republican state ticket is elected, but not by ihe old time majority, since the Populists continue to manifest con siderable strength. The Populist statJ ticket runs several thousand behind the Republican, but is heavier than was anticipated. IN IOWA. Bcpnblicans Carry the State by Over 60, OOO Legislature Strongly ltepublican. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 6. At 11 o'clock the Republicans claimed the state by 63,000, while Democrats con cede 33,000, which was Jackson's plu rality two years ago. The final figures will probably place it nearer the former than the latter. On the legis lature, few returns have been received. The Republican committee estimates the House, 74 Republicans and 26 Democrats, and the Senate, 42 Repub licans and 8 Democrats. This gives Senator Allison 116 out of 150 votes on joint ballot next winter when lie comes up for ve-election. PENNSYLVANIA. The Keystone State Bolts tip 150,000 Republican Plurality. Philadelphia, Nov. 6. Returns re ceived up to midnight indicate that Benjamin J. Haywood, Republican, has been elected State Treasurer by about 160,000 plurality, a Republican gain over 1SH3, which was also an off year, of about 15,000. In this city the Republican ticket is elected by an overwhelming majority MISSISSIPPI. Democrats Carry the State by About 50,000 Victory for Silver. Jacksox, Miss., Nov. 6. It is esti mated that the Democratic majority will be from 35,000 to 50,000. The Populists did not receive more than 15 per cent of the total vote cast. The campaign just closed was on free sil ver as against the gold standard, and the result is a complete victory for the free silverites. LOCAL MENTION. There will be a meeting of the young ladies interested in the new bicycle club at the Copeland parlors, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. A boy four years old, wearing a Jersey cap and cape overcoat, is lost. His father C Bernbaum, is anxious to have the finder take the boy to the police station. A case of diphtheria has appeared in the family of Mr. M. A. Henderson at 700 Harrison street. The little girl Helen, aged 7, is sick. At the first in titnation of sickness all the other chil dren were sent away from the house. Mr. Henderson is expected home at noon. The Topeka Philosophical society will hold a meeting at the laboratory of the high school building this evening. This is the second meeting of the society for this year. The paper of the evening will be read by A, W. Waters, on the subject of '-Bessemer Steel and Its Manufac ture." A. H. Thompson is president of the society, and B. B. Smyth is secretary. A Candid Friend. A friend of Mr. X. has recently married a very wealthy but very stout widow. Soon after he had returned from the bridal trip and had taken up his residence in Medford he gave a house warming. Among the guests who enjoyed his hospi tality was Mr. X. After making a tour of the house he repaired to the dining room to congratulate his host, who stood smil ing by the side of his generously propor tioned spouse. "Fine house, George," began Mr. X. "Glad you like it." "Superb grounds." "Do you think so?" "Oh, yos. And magnillcent view." "We are rather pleased with It" "That cutglass is beautiful." "Gifts from friends." "Pictures look like old masters." "Several of them are." Mr. X. could not longer restrain his en thusiasm. "By thunder, George," he said confiden tially, "you have married a fat thing." Boston Budget. Cleveland, O., Nov. 6. The entire Republican ticket with the exception of Brown for county commissioner is elect ed in this county by majorities ranging from two to eight thousand. IN BURNING RUINS. Many People Burled In a Building; Which Collapsed at Detroit. Detroit, Nov. 6. At about 9 o'clock this morning the boilers in the Journal building, corner of Lamed and Shelby streets, exploded with terrific force. The portion of the building, about forty feet wide, immediately collapsed, burying scores of people In the ruins. A great many girls and women were employed in the building. Shortly after 9 o'clock the rains broke out in flames. There were from 25 to 30 et work in the building exclusive of those who may have been injured while passing on the street. Three men and one woman were carried into the News office in a helpless condition, within three minutes after the terrible explosion. Cries of others could be heard in the ruins. The portion of the building directly above the boilers, on the first floor, was occupied by the Journal's mailing de partment. About five men and boys were there at work. In the second story was George Hiller's book bindery, in which a couple of men and about a score of girls were employ ed. All of these people, men, boys and girls, were precipitated into the horrible chaos of ruin and escaping steam. I The large building is cut cleanly in two from front to rear by a gap of forty feet wide, at the bottom of which is an almost solid pile of timbers, brick and debris. The Habbin type foundry on the third floor and the Journal's stereotyping de partment on the fifth floor each contrib uted human victims to the wreck. The members of the editorial staff on the fourth floor, however, all escaped. About fifteen minutes after the ex plosion those standing at the east side of the wrecked building saw a movement in the rubbish. A hand appeared fol lowed by an arm and helpers ran to the rescue. A moment later John M. Vinter, an employe of John Davis' spice and mustard mills was dragged out. Following is a revised list of the dead and injured as for as can be ascertained at this hour: Dead Unknown man, crashed beyond recognition. Unknown girl, taken from the ruins. Unknown girl, about 19 years old. John S. Dekbt, carpenter. Joseph carpenter. Lizzie Taplet. Injured Henry Larverie, of Journal mailing room. Two men bodies uni d entitled as yet. A conservative estimate places the number of those still in the ruins at twenty. It is reported that voices can be heard from under the sidewalk. Found Ilia Overcoat. The train stopped In the great darK station of a New England city and a gentleman who had been dozing dur ing the last hour of his journey got up in haste, seized his bag and hurried out of the car. In a moment he came rushing back; he had forgotten his overcoat, eayo the Youth's Companion. 3ut no overcoat was there, for his son had come along from the smoking car, recognized It and carried it cut. "Where's my coat?" exclaimed the owner, excitedly, diving under the seat and knocking oT his hat as he rose. "This is my seat! I'm sure I left it here." But the persons sitting near had just entered the car and tooli no interest in him; nobody answered. Out he hurried and again missed his son, who had gone into the station to inquire about tick ets. He was sure his coat must be in that car. There was nothing for It but to go back, and back he went. Meanwhile a lady attired in black, with a long crape veil over her face, entered the seat he had vacated and 6unk wearily back in the corner, her veil over her face. In rushed the ex cited gentleman. The train was about to start and if he was to find his coat It was now or never. "There it is," he cried in triumph. "I knew it was there!" He plunged forward and literally grabbed at the veiled lady. She shrieked, he gasped an apology, the train started and he plunged out of the car. Jeff Davis Desk. One of the guides at the capltol, Yashington, the other day said that he hoped that "before Captain Bassett, 'the watchdog of the senate," dies he will tell somebody which one of the desks it was which Jefferson Davis oc cupied when he was a member of the senate. Bassitt is the only one that knows, and he will not tell for fear visitors will clip off splinters for sou venirs. During the war a lot of sol diers got into the chamber and stuck their bayonets into the desk, and I reckon they thought they'd make kind ling wood of it. But old Captain Bas sett goes to work and patches it all up with screws and putty and varnish till it looks like any other old desk in the chamber. I know for certain that some mighty Influential senators have tried to get the secret out of the old man, but they might as well talk to the Goddess of Liberty on top of the dome as to get him to tell which, is JeU Davis' seat," Very Probable. Jack Beam, of Fayetteville, Ky.,while out riding six years ago was thrown from his horse and badly bruised. The horse ran away and could not be found. The other day while Beam was standing in the yard, the horse walked up to the gate. One moldy strap was the only vestige of his harness left, and his hair was long and full of dirt. It is believed that the horse has been liv ing in the woods ever since he ran away. New to Sim. "There goes the beautiful Mlsa Brewn." "Indeed! Why, I didn't know Brown was that wealthy." Puck.

It Was Very Small in Most of the Counties. Judge David Martin is Easily Elected Chief Justice.' HO LL ID AY'S VOTE. He Carries Sedgwick County and Only That One, J. W. Hirst Elected Senator in Leavenworth County. The returns from the state are coming in slowly. All the results show that a very light vote was polled in most places. Chief Justice Martin is elected, but Hol liday got a large vote in whisky coun ties. Hoxie, Kan.. Nov. Election passed off quietly with the following results: Martin, chief justice, 145 majority. The Republicans elected G C. Evans treasu rer, K L. Crutn sheriff, a G. Hopkins county attorney, W. H. Brown coroner, William West register of deeds. The Populists elected H, Percival, county clerk, James Foster, surveyor, and Hen ry Aiken, commissioner Third district These men are Democrats, nominated by the Pops. Fbi:lt.if6Bcro, Kas.. Nov 6.

Agrelius, free coinage Republican candidate for treasurer of Lindsborg township and city, was elected by 75 over the regular Republican nominee, reversing the usual Republican majority of 200. Parsons, Kan., Nov. 6. Returns from the election in this city give Re publican candidates majorities on county tickets from 200 up. The indi cations are that the entire Republican ticket is elected. Foet Scott, Kan., Nov. 6. Although reports from the county precincts are coming in slowly, indications point to the election of the entire Republican ticket, with the possible exception of District Judge. Wichita, Kan., Nov. C. Indications point to the election of every Repub lican on the t cket, with the exception of Sheriff and District Judge, who are probably beaten. Holliday, Demo crat, beats Martin, Republican, for Justice of the Supreme court, in this county. Emporia, Kan., Nov. 8. The indi cations are that the Republican candi date for Sherilf, Dan Dryer, will be the only one elected on the ticket. The fusionists will probably elect the rest. Dryer was the alleged A. P. A. candidate. Atchison, Kan., Nov. 6. The gen eral impression is that the Republi cans have elected their entire county ticket, but it is possible that the Dem ocrats may elect the register of deeds. Judge David Martin for chief justice will receive a tremendous majority, but owing to a defect in the caption of the ticket the vote for that office m this county may be thrown out. The A. P. A. undoubtedly cast its full strength to the Republicans. Nhwion, Kan., Nov. 6. Indications are that Martin will have 1,200 major ity over Holliday. Martin. Republi can, for judge, 300 over Whitelaw. Reno and MclMierson counties will give small majorities for Whitelaw. Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 6. Results of the election in this county and the Ninth judicial district are coming in very slowly. Enough, however, has been received to indicate the election of the entire Republican ticket, but the race for judge is very much in doubt, with the chances in favor of W. M. Whitelaw, non-partisan candi date. Leaveswouth, Kan., Nov. 6. The result of the election for sheriff is still in doubt, although the Republican nominee, Rothenberger, carried the city by fifty votes, which, it is ex pected, the county precincts will dis solve, and how a majority for the Democratic nominee. Peter Everhardy. The main fight centered upon the election of a state Senator. The Democratic nominee, J. W. Hirst, car rying every precinct in town, giving him more than 500 majority, and, it is believed, his total majority in the county will reach nearly 1,000. Manhattan, Kan., Nov.' 6. Man hattan city and rive precincts give Martin 330 votes and Holliday, Jr., 100. The probabilities are that the vote of the county will give Martin 1.300 and Holliday 900. The indica tions are that Riley county has gone for fusion. Great Bend, Kan., Nov. 6. Incom plete returns from Barton county show Republican county ticket elected, with possible exception of representa tive and register of deeds. An Intelligent Witness. A witness in court who had been cau tioned to give a precise answer to every question and not to talk about what he might think the question meant was in terrogated as follows: You drive a wagon?" "No, sir, I do not." "Why, sir, did you not tell my learned friend so this moment?" "No, sir, I did not." "Now, sir, I put It to you on your oath. Do vou drivo a wagon?" "No, sir."

SIEBSE'S OPINION. Thinks It Was rarely Resubmission That Defeated JSardfi-. Sheriff Dave Burdge is in Kansas City on business today but State Benator W. E. Sterne, who was intimately connected with the campaign for sheriff, said this afternoon: "Dave Burdge is an honorable man, and has made a good officer. He ought to have been elected. I know that the strong opposition to him in the Second ward was a fight in favor of a resubmis sion of the prohibitory question. During the campaign I did not hearasingle man criticise the personal integrity of Mr. Burdge. Even his most bitter opponents said he was a good man. My judgment is he was defeated by a large number of Republicans who are not satisfied with prohibition." R. R. X. Headquarters Removal. Peoria, 111.. Nov. 6. Nearly half of the five hundred lodges of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen have reported their vote on removing headquarters to Peoria and it is practically unanimous in favor of so doing.

This i3 a greater figure than was reached by any daily paper in Topeka for the year 1894. The Ameri can Newspaper Directory, issued in June, 1S95, and covering the year 1894, gives the average daily circula tion of the Topeka Daily Capital for the year 1894, as only 8,744.

"The Peacemaker of the Piutes" ia what Indians and whites alike call Cap- t a l a Johnson Sides, a queer Nevada charac ter, who is one of the oldest Indian interpreters and peacemakers in the service of the United States. For a score oi years ho has been tne thief inter preter cf the Pi utes, and on Johnson sides. many occasions his timely advice to the Indians has prevented the shedding of blood. No one k'JGV.-s better than he that mixing Indians and firewater has much the same effect as mixing fire and gunpow der. Consequently lie loses no oppor tunity cf preaching temperance to the Piutes. H. vrarm- them against drinking whisky, agaii'.st tenting their wives and against having Indian medicine men when they are sick. "If you have In dian doctors," he says sententieusly, "your neck is stretched. Ha doos not pretend to have any decided opinions as to merits or demerits of the allopathic; and homeopathic schools of medicine, but he dees know that the Indian medi cine man ia a quack of the thirty-third decree. Captain Sides is a Piute himself, and succeeded to his present office when his brother, Captain Charley Sides, who bad been peacemaker for many years in Ne vada and California, went to the happy hunting grounds. During his 0 years of service Captain Johnson Sides has probably done more to prevent trouble and to civilize the Indians than any oth er man in the tvro states. Several years ago the Pir-tes at Cbisco Creek absorbed considerables firewater, donned warpaint and feathers and began terrorizing the country. Sides had a short powwow with the nnrulyred men. Ee told them to scrape off their war paint, throw away their whisky bottles, return to their reserva tion and obey the laws of the wkit.st. His eloquence had a good affect, and the Indians quickly quieted down. Sides believes that tha Indians' only hope is to accept civilization, learn all they can and leave firewater alone. Last winter he placed 62 pupils in the In dian school at Fort Independent, and he aids the Piutes in getting work and in many other ways. Grover Went to tne Country. Wash:xg70X, Nov. 6.

New York has been making a great deal cf fuss over a duke of late, and San Francisco is now entertaining a king and a real, live prince, King Grieg and Prince George Grieg of Fanning island. The king has left his island home in order to place the princo in a San Fran cisco cchooL There are four more chil dren, and in the fullness of time they also will to given the advantages of a good California education, if the kins succeeds in getting his salary regularly when tbe-wbistles blow Saturday nights. Prince George is part American and pare native islander. His grandfather and father both married handsome na tive women and George has very dark hair and a dark complexion. He has white teeth, and looks mora like a Span iard than anything else. Until his arri val at San Francisco his entire life had been passed among ihe natives of the is land, and what he did not know about the English Ittngnr.ge and American in stitutions would fill all the book3 in a large library. Civilization was a great shock to him when ho Urst reached San Francisco. i PP.ISCE GEOF.GE OF FATStISG ISLAND. The dense sracke hovering over the city as the steamer approached reminded him of south sea volcanoes, the hills covered with houses made him rub his astonished eyes and wonder if the vision were net a dream, and tiie roar and rush of city life dazed him. The cable cars moving swiftly along the streets with out any visible means of propulsion were terrible mysteries, the deadly trol ley quite naturally excited his alarm, and the screeching, puffing loccmoti-res the first he had ever seen fairly threw him into a princely panic. King Greig inherited from hi3 father bis domain in the Pacific socth of the D'awaiian Islands, and a number cf years ago John Bull, with his usual kindness, took the island in out of the wet, metaphorically speaking.

H'e may look for things surprising From the bherittstiip of Kep. Tes ends of a Republican form of gov ernment are defeated when half the voters do not vote. Will "Cap" Curtis, who did the smooth work for the Kepley campaign be jailor? Heaven forbid! When tha people make up their minds to have a change they accept a very flimsy excuse to vote for the other fel low. If Dave Burdge had things to do over he would remove one objection to bis con duct of his office he would get other advisers. The boy gazed on the justiceship, lie wanted to be there.

Now we see the effect of Governor Morrill's back down from a strong posi tion on prohibition. By his weakening he weakened all the time-serving Re publican Prohibitionists, and they have silently withdrawn from the fight. The four thousand votes cast in To peka yesterday are less than half the en tire number of votes in the city. The lection of Kepley is the result of a minority vote. The main body of the Toters remained away from the polls, Suppose that every time that a mem ber of the white race in Shawnee county kills a colored man, the white race bands together politically to clear him, what would be the result? The colored voters in this county have drawn the color line themselves. They have made a political issue of the Matson murder. This action on their part is apt to bring grief to them in the future. No political club should be held over a sheriff seeking to do his duty in a murder trial. Sheriff-elect Kepley has a hard row to hoe. He is elected by the law de fying element, but the immense law and order majority of this county will show him that "public sentiment rules" in To peka as it does in Laavenworth, only it is another kind of sentiment. The bottle brigade was on the streets celebrating the Kepley victory last night. Heretofore they have been drunk only part of the time, and they are look ing joyfully forward to the time when they can be drunk all of the time what a delightful prospect.

Mr. Beadle Eiscovera and Dissects Anniston, Ala. THE RISE, COLLAPSE AND REYIYAL Of a Southern City It Cosmopolitan Character,!; Substantial Baildinga, Itm VTtne and Ltm Kiseral Orel. Anniston, Ala., Nov. 4. The Atlan ta exposition is a big- thing, of course, the greatest show the south baa ever had, and yet I grew tired of it. Street scenes in Atlanta just now are wondor fnlly enlivening, what with the bril liantly lighted stores, the motley dress ing and the many colored people, the open air music and the many theaters all crowded nightly. Yet one does get tired of living in a hnbbub, and Atlan ta's racket wearied me. And, further more, lovely autumn is just now at her loveliest. This season ia so long and so mild and its changes are so gradual and soothing in this latitude. It was no time for the city, and so I was off for the iron mountains. Where tha Vine Flourishes. The Georgia Pacific railway, by which I traveled, took its ambitions title because it was designed to run to the Mississippi and connect with the Southern Pacific. It succeeded in get ting as far as Birmingham and is now absorbed by and a feeder to the Pied mont Air Lino on the Great Southern. Short as it is, it has on a string four of tha most remarkable places in our coun try Atlanta, Fruithurst, Anniston and Birmingham and, strange to say, the Eocond, as yet unheard cf in tho north, is just now esciting the landed inter ests of Ahibama. About ten miles west of the Georgia lino passengers familiar with the topog raphy called our attention to a region where the hills seemed a little more abrupt, the soil a little redder and the timber inGre ragged than elsewhere, the land being considered a few years ago almost worthless. To this region came bychauco a fev exiles from Alsace, who declared on sight that hero were repro duced the exact conditions of the best wine districts in France. The mercury very rarely rises above UO degrees and the cold is nover severe enough to in jure the vino. The late winter is rainy, tho early summer variable as to mois ture, and from July to November the season is dry four times oat of five. ORE BEDS IN Here, then, if anywhere in the new world, said these exiles, can the French grape be perfectly naturalized and all the French wines produced. A large land company took tho district in charge and now a great success is assured. The company has laid off the tract in ten acre lots, and each purchaser is re quired to plant two of his ton acres in grape vines. If he does not care to do the work, the company does it fcr him at a cost of $35 per acre. Thechief exe cutive man is ill Farciot, an Alsatian who had had great experience in grape culture on Kelly's island in Lake Erie and is an enthusiast as to the possibili ties here. I will not repeat his glowing prophecies, as they come to me second hand, but his most persistent statement is often repeated hereabout namely, that his people will make all these old red hillsides more valuable than tho finest valley land in the state. A phy sician on our train declared this section would become tho greatest health resort in the conntry. The elevation averages 1,100 feet above the sea, the summers are much cooler than in tho central north, the soil is of such a nature that there is little or no mud, and for three months the. invalid can live on grapes just from the vine, as is the regimen now at many German health resorts. Anything is a blessing which induces the rural southerners to vary their mo notonous diet of corn bread, fried pork and black coffee, and I feel it a duty to give these enterprises a good showing. But I presume any reader inclined to invest will first investigate. A Point In Finance. "When the foreigner comes, the nig ger goes," is a sort of proverb in Ala bama. The foreigner has come to Fruit hurst and the "nigger" has gone, or rather staid, away, for there never were many negroes in the hill country of Alabama. The last registration showed, say the politicians, the most composite population of any southern locality ex cept San Antonio, Tex. There are Swedes enough to have a flourishing church, Poles, Hungarians, Bohemians and a few Italians, besides the Alsa tians. Southerners, Yankees and Eng lishmen are in the crowd, of course, as they are in all these boom towns. I ask ed my medical companion, who waa eo enthusiastic about the future of the ro pion, why the congressional district lines ran so tortuously, taking in oue cf the blackest of the black counties with these almosi exclusively white counties, whereupon he "smiled a sort o' sickly smile" and asked my opinion Ion tee suver question. xao result waa laughable. Every man in the car was "v .v.'Wii-a 'i-, a-;, jut i a v r, ta the point of his hoofs at once, and in less time than it takes to tell it a furi ous discussion was raging. The testi mony was equally positive on both sides. A prominent iron man cf Bir mingham declared it a positive certain ty that with the exception of Mobile, Memphis, one district in Florida and two in Kentucky, every district in' the south would send delegates to the na tional Democratic convention in favor of free coinage at the old ratio. An At lanta merchant said he had been trav eling three months in the two states, and to his certain knowledge "the sil ver craze is over nobody talks or cares about it 8 cent cotton has killed it." Maybe the interest is lessening, but the discussion in that car certainly did not show it. As the Georgia Pacific runs nearly straight west and the mountain ranges nearly straight southwest, the road crosses them at a "long angle," and the result is a peculiarly twistical and di versified line. First wo cross a level, then enter the red foothills and next wriggle through the main range on a course running to every point of the compass, to emerge into another high valley, and in the narrowest of these is this very interesting city of Anniston. Two things strike the visitor with as tonishment at the first view the great number of fine residences on all the commanding points and the many really magnificent churches. Brooklyn does not compare with it in that respect. The highest estimate of tho population, in cluding Osanna and other suburbs, 13 15,000, and it certainly is less than that. Yet there are IS white churches and several colored. And some of the white churches might be called small cathedralsimposing structures of gray and white stone which look as if they were built for all time. In truth, that is the great characteristic of the city. The founders evidently had faith in the future, for all tho hotels, banks and general business structures are seeming ly as solid as if in New York and Bos ton. No city looks less like a boom town, yet that is just what it is. Other cities have had booms, but this is the ideal boom city. It completely fills the bill. Probably no other city of its size in the country had eo sudden and phe nomenal a rise, and certainly none suf fered a more complete and sudden col lapse. But this collapse came in 1890, and tho revival was in full progress by the tirno the rest of the country began to decline. Acniston Enterprise. 'We knew nothing about the panic cf 1893," said Colonel Hoffman Atkinson, THE CITT LIMITS. president of the Anniston Land compa ny. "We were so deep in the pit that it passed 100 degrees above ns. In fact, that's about the time the revival began here. It was in 1890 that w fell. Our industries did not stand on tho order of their dying, as Lady Macbeth said they just died. They did not even lie down and die, as folks say; they just dropped dead in their tracks. I don't say that the failure of Baring Bros, did it, but soon after the news of that ar rived the United States Car company stopped work. Then all the furnaces stopped in rapid succession on account of the low price of iron. The banks, with one email exception, held through it in good shape, and so did this land company, the only one in the south that did, I believe. Everything in the manu facturing line stopped, and we had to carry all the laboring people who didn't leave. You may imagine, then, how odd it sounded to our folks when speak ers came along to tell them that con gress had caused the trouble in 1894. We were over it by that time, and now you see that the vacant houses are fill ing up fast. Let me see we have run ning now the big pipe works, the big gest in the world under one roof, mak ing 200 tons of heavy iron pipe a day; the Hercules Pipe works, 46 tons a day of small pipe tho Anniston Manufactur ing company's cotton mill, which has always paid good dividends ;.the Annis ton Cordage mills, also making web bing bands and cotton carpets; the Woodstock Iron furnace, 125 tons of pig iron a day; the Anniston Lime works; two large lumber establishments, three machine and boiler shops and many mi nor works. "There's a romance about the build ing of Anniston. The founders made their money on cbarceal iron, and made piles of it too. When a depression came, they stacked it away, and when the boom cf 1879-80 came on their profits were enormous. And they were profuse ly generous. Look at that splendid church of St. Michael and All Angels cost $125,000. Well, that was built by John W. Ncble as a monument to his brother, Samuel Noble built of stone and marble. And Grace Episcopal church was built by the iron company at a cost of $50,000. There are two other church es costing 50,000 each. In fact, there isn't a really poor looking church in the place, unless it is some of the colored, and the liberality of the founders did it. New about the future. We concede that Birmingham can make iron a lit tle cheaper than we can, and our future is in other minerals and manufactur ing." w V J. H. Beablb. IIs WAT AND THE S Eli VENT. rile Latter Refnsea to Co, ana the FoA mrr Protects Lobelia. "There-'s no use in talking, Billiger. That girl has got to gol" "What's the matter, Lobelia?" in quired Mr. McSwat, looking up from his newspaper. "She shan't stay in this house anoth er day. She's an impudent, lazy, good tor nothing" "Who is?" "That kitehen girL" "What's her name?" "She calls herself Esmeralda." "Not a bad name, mused Mr. Mo Bwat. "What has she been doing?" "She hasn't been doing anything. Hat's the trouble. t I give her two aft ernoons off in the week, and she takes four. She quits her work before it's half done and goes out walking. She goes up to her room at any time of the day and takes a nap. She's just come down from a two hours' sleep and is yawning out there in the kitchen as if she owned the house and was tired of living in it. I've talked mildly to her, and it doesn't do any good. She's got to go!" Mr. McCwat picked up his paper again. "All right. Lobelia," he said. "Go and fire her 1" "I Willi" Three minutes later Mr. McSwat be came dimly conscious of some unusual commotion in the back part cf the house. Sounds as cf voices raised in animated conversation reached his ears. He laid aside his paper and listened. "Go it, Lobelia! Go it, Esmeralda!" he muttered under his breath, a3 the discussion appeared to become more lively. The voice he took to be Esmer alda's gradually assumed the principal burden of the conversation, but at inter vals he could hear Lobelia's clear so prano endeavoring to secure recognition". There was a prolonged crash as if the end gate had dropped from a wagon loaded with tinware and crockery while going nphill, and Mrs. McSwat came flying back into the room with flushed face and wild gesticulation. "She says she won't go, Billiger, Ehe gasped, choking with wrath. "I of fered her two weeks' wages and told her she could leave. She said she didn't want to, and I told her to go anyhow. The brazen thing defied me She used dreadful language, and I threatened to have her put out. Then she kicked the table over and danced round on the pie pans and oared me to touch her. She's got to get out of here this very day or I will!" "That's right, Lobelia," asserted Mr. McSwat cheerfully. "That's right. Put her cut. It's your house. And it's your fight," he added, turning again to his newspaper. "Are yon going to sit there and let that horrible girl turn the house upside down?" 'M hey? What?" "Billiger McSwat, have you got the spirit of a man?" "Ur what did you remark?" "I say are you going to let that dread ful girl take possession of the premises and turn me out?" "I don't hear her taking possession of anything, Lobelia," said Mr. McSwat, listening intently a moment. "Because, if you are, I'll call in some neighbor and tell him I can't get the man of this house to protect me and I want help. "Great Scott 1 What do yon want me to do?" exclaimed Billiger, with a yawn. "Go out to the kitchen and tell that impudent thing to pack up her traps and go. Give her two weeks' pay and then give her two hours to get her trunk and all her belongings moved. Tell her you're tho master of this houso" "But I'm not, you know. Lobelia," weakly interposed Billiger. "If you're afraid to go and give the girl her walking papers, say so, and I'll call a policeman." "I don't think it will be necessary to do that. I'll go and talk to her. He rose slowly and proceeded toward the kitchen, whistling with great ap parent indifference as he went. He found Esmeralda holding the fort, redhaired and defiant. "My good girl," he said in a concili ating tone, "this kind of thing won't do, you know" "Don't you 'good girl' me, yon whin in hypocrite!" screeched Esmeralda, waving a big tin dipper threateningly. "You Enobpin bag o' wind, git right out o' here, or" "But see here, Miss Miss I don't believe I know your last name" "Don't make no difference what my name is I know what you're drivin at, and I'm not a-goin awayl I'm goin to stay right here!" "But don't you see that's all wrong? You don't belong to the family, yon know" "I don want no more sass from you 1 It's a doggone shame to turn a good girl out at the beginnin of cold weather, when she's fixed all comf 'tablo an make her hunt a new place, an I ain't goin to be turned out, bet your life!" "But" "If you don't walk out o' here, I'll make you wish you had A man hain't got no business in a kitchen "If you think you are going to run ever this family, young woman," said Mr. McSwat, heroically asserting him self, "let me tell yon" A pint of half cooked apple sauce flew past his head and spattered horri bly on the wall. He hastily put himself on the other side of the door. Then he walked back to the sitting room, making a somewhat labored effort to whistle unconcernedly as he walked. "Lobelia," he said, "I think she'll quiet down soon and go of her own ac cord. I talked to her pretty straight "What did she say?" "She objected, of course, but" "Did she Eay she'd go?" "No, she didn't exactly say that, but she tried to argue with me. She said It was a shame to turn Iter out at this jeason of the year"- "I'll go in again, ana" "No, I don't think I'd bother her for little while. Give her time, Lobelia, give her time. Suppose, by the way, you send Henrietta out to advise her. Henrietta was the housemaid. She was sailed in and commissioned to proceed to tho stronghold of the obdurate Esmer alda and undertake to reason with the fiery haired maiden. As envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the eourt of Esmer nlda the urbane Henrietta lasted about B0 seconds. She came back in frantic haste, pale and trembling. Esmeralifa had met her friendly over tures b7 flinging the ice pick at her. Then Billiger McSwat rose up in his wrath. He went to the home of Lobe lia's parents and bribed her youngest brother to go for a policeman and an express wagon in hot haste. Returning home, he sat in the room adjoining the kitchen, with his hat on, grinding his teeth and waiting. He was protecting Lobelia. Not for worlds would he leave her in the houso with that girl An hour afterward a policeman and an express wagon made their appear ance simultaneously in front of the Mo Swat mansion. There was a brief but spirited action in the kitchen, and at its close Miss Es meralda McGinnis, ex-kitchen girl of the McSwats, emerged from the build ing. She was followed shortly by her per sonal baggage, all and singular, and with the assistance cf the officer the en tire outfit wa3 loaded into the wagon and driven away, Esmeralda shaking her fist vehemently at the house and moving her chin volubly as long as she was in sight. Long after she had dis appeared from view Billiger McSwat sat in the room adjoining tho kitchen, with his hat on, breathing hard, and occasionally darting a look of defiance through the solid door that separated him from the empty room. He was still protecting Lobelia. Chicago Tribune. A Kejnvenator. 1 (Mem There's a baby in the house and a bottle of milk has been placed to cool.

"mm" COMES ON MEMBER 26. Other Theatrical Xewi and Iiocal Drumaric Item. Panline Hall, who will appear at the Grand in opera Thanksgiving night, will give "Dorcas," which she ia singing ex clusively, la it she take3 three distinctly different characters. In the fir3t act she is a happy-go-lucky peddler boy, in the second "Dorcas," the jolly, mischievous wife of a jealous inn-Keeper ana in me third and last act she appears as "Lady Honoria," the swell leader of fashion. Tuesday, November 26, is the date for David Henderson's big spectacle, "Sin bad." 'Either the star has to be well known, or the piece has to be familiar, or the people won't eo to see the performance," says John Griffith. "The people will go to see any one in 'Hamlet' The trouble in playing one part much is that the pub lic won't have you in anything else. The people won't go and see Morrison in any thing but 'Faust,' or Jim O'Nail ia any thing but 'Monte Cristo.' Walker "Whiteside, the young man who pleased Atchison, Leavenworth and other places with his "Hamlet" last ynar, will come out here again this year, but he will not appear in Topeka. He is in St. Joseph November 19. "The people won't go to see more than two or three 'legitimates' in a season," says O. T. Crawford. Wadsworth Harris, who has an exten sive acquaintance in Topeka, is playing with Mudjeskathis year. He is acousiu to Will Wadsworth. Last year both of them were with Otis Skinner. Before that Harris had been four seasons with Modjeska, She will confine her playing to the east this season and come west next year. The Royal Hawaiian National band, composed of forty native Hawaiians, will be here two weeks from todav. The "Green Goods Man" goes in for green with a vengeance. The bills in the indows are green, the advance notices are green; it is hoped that the company sre not also. The photographs of the company betray one into thinking that some of the girls are pretty. Paul Dresser, the heavyweight comedian, was here in the farce last year, but is not with the company this season. His sing ing will be missed, but there is probably some one to take his place. At tire Grand tomorrow night. Primrose West's Minstrel company la tha largest aud leading one on the road. They advertise forty white people and thirty colored men. It is a certainty that they carried this many iast year. All the white people stopped at the same hotel and when the company reached a place the manager had au unique way of registering. He had the names of all the company pr'nted on bills and walked up to the register and pasted a bill upon it. It covered a page. The show has put up some very nice bills for a minstrel company, probably a sign of prosperity. It comes to the Grand Friday night. Prof. J. A. Houser gave his third lec ture at the Crawford last night. His sub ject was "Human Nature." He will be heard again tonight. An admission fee of five eenta is being charged. "Grimes' Cellar Door" is tha attraction at the Grand next Monday night. James B. Mackie, who is young, is the star. He is said to be good. The pictures which Mr. Mackie circulates of himself show him standing on hi3 head in a "Silly Billy" make-up and doing other grotes que things that would make Sager Midgely turn pale with envy. Siidgely was here with Gus Williams two years ago, but where he is now is a question. Clara Morris is playing all this week at the Coates in Kansas City. Friday and Saturday nights she gives her new adaptation of Dumas' "Ravmonde." To morrow night "Article 47"" is the bill. Will Wadsworth joins the "Alabama" company on the 17th in Chicago. The company is now playing one night stands through Illinois and Indiana, and will continue to do so until the Chicago en gagement at the Haymarket theater, which lasts a week.

Mrs. Thorpe had a most surprising rush of charity business one day this week. During the day she received sixty visitors besides finding time to do her prison work, make several charity calls and do her housework. Over half of these callers were persons who wanted some help in the way of charity. Six young women who have been thrown on their own resources for sup port were found places. Among them was Ella Clark, a good looking young white girl, with a good common school education whom Mrs. Thorpe has re cently saved from a disorderly life. All tnese got work in private families. Some of them wanted work iu hotels. "Not much," said Mrs. Thorpe, "I am not finding places for girls in hotels. More youag girls meet ruin in hotelB than ever did at dances. Many more than half of the girls I m9et in the woman's department in the police station can date the history of their downfall from the time they worked in some hotel." Among tha many people Mrs. Thorpe now has on her list are live white fami lies from Phillips county, Kansas, where there was a crop failure this year. HERE'S A SCHEJ1E. Let the "Women lSauii Together and Vote Anyhow as a Test. Mrs. M. A. Cornelius, president of the local EtifTrage association, has a scheme for enforcing female suffrage, and has given it to Susan B. Anthony. "Let a petition be circulated over the United States," Bays jirs. Cornelius, "and get one million women to sign it swearing that they will vote for presi dent at the next general election. Then let them vote. The men would not dare throw one million good American women into jail. '1 submitted the idea to Miss An thony, but she said it would be impos sible to get one million women to agree to it, so we gave it up. We might try it sometime in Kansas on a small scale, however." A NOTABLE ORPHAN. Tha W. C. T. U. Adopt a Seventy Tear Old lestitute Enlihinnn. In a basement on Van Buren street lives Thomas Pullen, an old English man. He ha3 been a rag picker about the city, but has been sick and unable to work until recently. He has been very poor in consequence. It is said that he has relatives in Eng land that are rich, but though they have been written to, they refuse to do any thing for him. At a recent meeting the ladies of the Topeka W. C. T. U. adopted him a3 their charge and will take care of him in the future. He is nearly seventy years of age. DISTURBED THE PEACE. IT WILL TAKE 3IONEY To Give the September Festival Next Year, S1I3 MR. R. S. TH0SP30H August .Bines, Cnlortd, Threatened to Draw Ills Razor. "I hadn't had nothin' to drink since yesterday mawnin' befoh dinnah, an' that's a fact," said August Hines, colored, io Police judge Ferry yesterday after noon. "Dere was a keg of beer at Rice's grocery store in do mawnin, ana l hadn't had a drop sicca that wtiea they 'rested me last night." The officers were attracted to Hines Monday night, just north of Fourth street by the crowd of curious colored people when he began talking about drawing his razor. He was fined $10 and put to cracking rock. NOT IN THAT QUARREL. Mj. Fond Says He Was Not Involved In the Soldiers' Home Trouble. Major H. W. Pond of Ft. Scott, who was with the old soldiers at the national soldiers home at Leavenworth last Satur day, says he was never treated any bet ter in his life thau he was by Major Shockley during his stay at the home. Major Pond Bays he has no part in the adoption of the resolutions, and what be said about holding the camp fire just be fore pension payment was a remark he repeated, having heard it made by some of the officers of tha home. He says he does not care to be mixed np in a quar rel which is not his. I Sr. t ISsI Vtfllinc Contribute and tV r.ais All Other Topekana to JU9 Ha. Ijettho Schools Da oui3thius. R. S. Thompson of the firm of Thomp son Brothers, furniture dealers, is one of the prominent business men who would like to see the carnival succeed and he is willing to give it financial support. It will take something more thau words to make the carnival a success and Mr. Thompson realizes this. "We used to have crowds here for a week during our fair.-," said he, -'but we seem to have dropped out and towns like Leavenworth and Atchison are making a success of carnivals whila we watch them and do nothing. "If the business men give tha festival their support it will succeed and I am giad to see that they are generally iu favor of it. It will take money to make the affair a success but the business men will get good returns for all the money they spend. "no are willing to contribute and would like to see the carnival made a success, but someone must be found who will push it and take hold of the man agement. "1 am afraid there is danger if we make an organization early of luviug the interest die out. There shoui i te a big committee appointed, but 1 do not think active steps should be taken be fore next spring. 1 think that Juno will be early enough. There ia such a thing as starting too soon." County t-upenntendent J. W. Stout has become enthusiastic about the plau of having a carnival next fall but he doss not want the schools to be slight ed. "There is no reason on earlh," said he, "why Topeka can not have a very suc cessful carnival The city is well locat ed and every one in the state would like to come here, but while you are talking about flower days nd other kinds of days j uat remember that an educational day would not be out of place. "I know that the teachers and pupils will take hold of the mat ter, and if they are given an op portunity will do much to make the event a success. This is a great school city and we can make our carnival an educator and we can get the educators interested by giving them something to do. "We can have 7,000 school children in line and perhaps more. It will be an easy matter to make a very imposing parade and then other things can ba de vised which will prove interesting. "If there is tin educational day wa can furnish something, and bo whiie you are talking about the carnival do nut leave the educational feature out. The carni val must last a week and there can be an interesting aud varying programme every day." 21AJ. POND TO TRY IT. The Cclebratpd Li-clurn Knreau Man on Dealing in Oilier .Men'i ISraliis.

HEY ALL WONDER. H'acb Speculation Cynec-raing Prof. Samuels' Cares. rb.9 Cii Tisi3 Doctors An Outwitted But tha Pecplo Who Ara Cursi Are Eelishted, Is there anyone who can explain how so many miraculous cures are be.ng performed by this wonderful man, Prof. Samuels? No one can certainly doubt, but mudt admit, that it is beyond com prehension. The public stands and is amnzed. One asks another what they think cf it and all reply it is very re markable such cures have never been heard of. The doctors themselves are at a loss to understand the way ho cures people cf their pain. "Why," said one, ";hi!ik of that lady at 904 West Seventh street. One sister, 31 rs. Young, hud suf fered with backache lor seventeen years. Kverything pots. bin was tried aud noth ing could be done for her, and this man comes ale n y and makes a healthy person of her in a lew weeks.

And arrain, don't everybody iu Topeka know Mrs. Geo. E. Lillie, who had been nearlv an invalid, and whom our best physiciana couid not benefit? And will anvoue explain how this man Samuels takes hold of the case and restores her to health. No one can doubt but that every word of this is truo. The cures that he is daily performing right under our own eyes are certainly remarkable. Will the doctors from other cities explain these wonders? They can't do it. They are keeping everyone awry from him they possibly can. 1 he hrst thing the prolessor tells a patient is to throw ell their medicine into the gutter and than ha will remove all pkiu, no matter whore located, lie cures female trouble, kidney disease and a, kindred diseases entirely through the eyea.

They Commit Mora Bold Dapreda- tion3 in Topoka. 4 SEGEO SEIZES A PCCKETBOOK Fromthn II anil of Mr.. W. C. CHatTse on Tojifka Avenae Another liurs- It seems only a question of time until someone will bo killed on the streets of Topeka for refusing to give up their val uables when ordered to do so by thieves or highwaymen. They are getting so bold that they do not wait for darkness to cover their tracks. Mrs. Will C Chaffee was robbed in broad daylight on Topeka avenue vesterday afternoon. Another burglary was committed laat night. Two Topeka burglars were captured by the Kunsas City police yesterday evening. 1 he newest burglary is at 120 .Lust Founh street. The room is occupied by J. Rolhouser's tailor shop. From $75 to $100 worth of goods were taken r,d the robbery was in every way successful so far, as the thieves have not yet been en light. The person or persons got in by break ing out a glass in the back window. There is a high fence around the back yard and the burglars could work inside this without fear of being seen. Some of the things taken were three new pairs of trousers, one old pair which were to repaired, two clay worsted suits, cloth for a beaver overcoat, two overcoats made np. There is probably more than this gone, but this is all that could not be lound tins morning. "Chippy" Smith and Bill Wheeler, colored, were caught by the Kansas City police last evening with the goods stolen lrom the tailor shop of Jacob Levi in their possession. This burglary was committed on Halloween night, when about $7.1 worth of cloth was taken from Levi's shop at512 Kansas avenue. Smith and Wheeler are young men of from twenty-two to twenty-five years of age. Wheeler has been in the peniten tiary before. Chief Wilkerson this morning tele phoned to Kansas City to the two men to see if they would come without reqisi tion papers. They refused, and the chief will go to the -Missouri city after them this afternoon with the necessary docu ments. They seem to waut to got the worth of whatever sentence they get by making that much trouble. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock Mrs. Will C. Chaffee was robbed of her pocketbook as she was walking along Topeka avenue. As she was in front of 615 Topeka avenue she met a colored man. He grabbed her purse from her hand and running through a yard reach ed the alley between Topeka avenue and Tyler street and escaped Mrs. Chaffee's calls brought a number of women to the sceue and the police were called. A search failed to reveal any trace of the man and the police are yet hunting for their first clue. The purse coutained 5. Mrs. Chaffee was unable to give a very good descrip tion. She describes the thief as being of yellow complexion, short and heavy, wearing a black slouch hat and a black coat. He was young looking. This description agrees wonderfully well with the one given by Mrs. L. A. Burnes of the colored man who pointed a pistol at her Sunday night at tha home of D. H. Forbes, 703 Polk street. The whole crook population of the state seems to be opernting iu Topeka. Chief Wilkerson says he thinks he will brave damage suits by arresting sus pected persons. There is undoubtedly an organized gan of colored thieves in the city. The police were looking this morning for persons who are suspected. Let no fears of damage suits alarm. The people of this city mean to be protected if it takes a vigilance committee to do it. KORTil TOPEKA. Items of Interest From NortU Sid. of the the Itiver. W. F.

Why don't you sell that and buy your tickets?" asked the county poor commissioner of a big, strapping middle aired man today. "Oh, I haven't got time, and this is an emergency," he replied. "You sec, we've been down in Oklaho ma, looking around," he continued. "My wife wanted to go back home to Marys ville. Mo., and we hadn't money enough to buy tickets clear thajugh, so we bought them ai far as Topeka. I've got only 3j cents in my pocket and I don't know where we'll sleep tonight unless you give us tickets."' "Well, I'll give your wife a ticket to Horton, but I wouldn't bs justified iu giving any to an able bodied man like you." At this juncture a young woman with a child in her arms came in. "A ticket costs $7.40,'" she said. "1 can t send you clear up in Iowa look ing for this man," began Mr. Hale. "I sent you to St. Joseph last week, and that's as much as I can da" "But I'm sure be's there, if I could only reach him." -You were sure he was in St. Joseph, too. He may be in Iowa today, but when you got there he'd be gone, just like he had from St. Joseph. You couldn't get him to live with you, anyhow." "But I could; I know I could." said the young mother, as she began to cry. "I'm sorry, but I can't give you trans portation," said the poor commissioner, firmly.

Mushamusha, although ci distinctly moue'rn place, with all the latest improvements in sanitary plumbing, etc. (sco circular), is not behind in this re spect. 15 is truo that the surrounding country is ilat, but then the lesrend i-i so weird and romantic that it fully com pensates for the trifling hick of a precipice. Listen to the soul stirring tale as I had It from the lips of tlio vonerable chief, Kas Eictcmau. Long, long before the foot of tho whito landgrabber had gobbled up tho fair do main of his red brother. Eatnnytliingsoft cuff loved the beautiful Prairiescavcnor, and his love was returned. A noble hunt er and warrior was Eatanythingsoftnulf. No one in all the tribes of tho Vermiehow chewers could capturo at onn grab so many of the nimble grasshoppers as he; no ono equaled him in the skill anil audacity with which ho tracked and slew the wily and ferocious muskrat. To sec and describo the charms of Prairiescavener would re quire all the blindness of lovo and the pen of a political editor; sufiico it hero to say that siia was just as good as she was beau tiful. So their love grew until Eatanything softnuff, feeling that life without Prairie scavener was like a summer without grasshoppers barren and profitless, rose and went to her father and paid: "I'll give you ten ponies for Prairiescavener." Ir Katiinytliingsoftnuff was cunning ai.d concealed the love that filled his heart, lest the old man should Uomaud more than his stack. Then tho old chiof folded bis arms across bis battle scarred bosom, as though hugging himself, and answered, "To tho young and strong belong the fierce delights of war. I am old and long for repose. Take her mothor with you and you can have her for nothing, and I'll throw in my blessing." And, not noticing the ferocious twinklo in tho old fox's eye, Eatanythingsoftnuff jumped at the chance. This is the legead of "The Lover's Leap." Truth.

Tout mistress has she come in yet?" he demanded eagerly, as the servant opened the door. "No, sir." Thus reassured, he drew from behind his back a hand in which he held a big bunch of roses, which, if not very choice or artistic in their selection, stiil spoke eloquently of a great, loving heart. His eyes sparkled, his fingers trembled with joy, when, in the dining room a moment later, he arranged his flowers in a hand some vase, and with tender little pats and touches sot them carefully iu the center of the littli) round table. Then from his pocket hs drew a tiny jewel case and hid it uudor oie of tho two napkins. "Now," he mummed, smiling gayly, "now slw may come in!" Xow that his preparations wore finished, he sat down to wait, idle, restless, fumbling at this and that with his big, awkward hands. How was it all going to happen? j Should he run to meet her, take her in his j arms and call her "my beloved?" No; r.t j first he would say nothing. He would j seem quite indifferent, unconcerned then, by accident, his ami would slip round her j waist and he would lead her as it were i unconsciously to the dining room door, where he was going to enjoy the delight of j her surprise and pleasure. j Ah, at last a-step outside! His joy must j bo-disguised lest she suspect something, i aud again he caught up the paper. "It is wired from London'' "It is wired from London" but the words danced before iiis eyes, rod, blue, green ho could noc dis tinguish Soother letter a hand, her hand, wason the knob! ithe entered, blond, beautiful, but loot iug'out from tho soft, luxurious warmth of her costly furs a little weary, a little disheveled, after an afternoon spent in vis iting, shopping, swift riding in a coupe. Tho "good day" she gave him seemed a little weary, too, the gesture a little petu lant with which sho drew off her gloves, threw back her furs and dropped into a chair. "I am very late," said she, "and we mnstr' dine' quickly. The Daubignys are coming to take mo with them to the op era.'.' i Ho started, pained and surprised. "What, you ara going out, dearest? I thought we were to .spoud the evening to gether here in our little nest." She had thrown herself into a low, easy ehair, with her tiny feet outstretched to the fire. "Really, my dear, you aro very unreasonable, she answered indifferently. "It was very good of the Daubignys to in vite me, end B3 I am not at all spoiled, yon know, by visits to tho theater, I ac cepted with pleasure. Stiil, if you wish to forbid my going, you can you are my master the law is on your side. He dropped the paper wearily, all the brightness gone from his face. "There is no need to be angry, dearest," he expostu lated. "I had no thought or wish to de prive you of a pleasure. i'ou reproach mo, too, need!oss!y. You know that I am nearly always busy in the evenings. Tonight, however, I am free, and I was promising myseli" "All right. I'll not go." '"So, no, dear one; not at all! Come, we'll dino quickly. You'll go and make youracH beautiful, and when the Daubig nys arrive "I am not going, I tell you! I no longer wish to go. She flung off her furs, her dainty hat, and tossed them angrily on a couch. He watched her sorrowfully, miserably, all his innocent joy gone, feeling himself aged and enervated by this quarrel, that was so useless, so unforeseen, so incom prehensible. She was seated now at the other side of the fire, her slender white hands clasped carelessly about her knees. Ho sought and sought for something to say to her, anything, no matter what, that would break tho horrible silence, but nothing would come. "By the way," said sho suddenly so suddenly that ho perceptibly jumped "I have invited Paul Bernard to dine with ns tomorrow. He is very agreeable. "Ah!" "Why 'ah?' What do you say 'ah' for?" "For nothing nothing at all, dear. I said 'ah' just as I would say 'oh;' just as I would say" Sho had haughtily raised her pretty head, with its crown of golden curls, tbe haughty head of a little princess, but with its beauty just then marred by tho hard, scornful curvo of tho red lips. "Perhaps you intend to be jealous and make scenes?" sho persisted. Ho did not reply; his chin dropped on his breast dejectedly. Still this quarrel without reason or sense! She was not usually so. And suddenly a great terror was born within him, to clutch and tear at the Strings of his heart. This nervous excite ment of his wile, this oversensitiveness to unspoken words could it be the outcome of some hidden pain, some secret suffer ing, or God in heaven, crush the thought 1 the remorse of a first fault? No, no! Impossible! Sho was only tired, fatigued by paying calls, by tho chattering of uncongenial acquaintances, by the soli tude of her silk cushioned brougham, with gazing out upon a wan, gray sky, with the rain beating the windows. Meanwhile she went on, exasperating herself more and more. "You might as well know, too, now as any time, Lucien, that when you begin that, when you take it into your head to bu jealous, suspicious well, I know but ono remedy for it di vorce He paled at the horrible word, for she bad hurled it at him cruelly, brutally as a blow, looking him 6tright in the eyes, her elbow resting on the mantelpiece and apparently quite calm. Eight o'clock began to chime. In the street the rain still fell, a slow, mournful rain, sounding like a dirge. Thoy passed into tho dining room, sho leading, he fol lowing like one in a troubled dream. In tho interval tho cozy little nook seemed, all at once, to have grown chill ai,d formal; discontent, bitterness, sup pressed irritation, lurked in tho air. Dinner, which had been served, had grown cold on the pretty white table, tho crisp little rolls had lost their tempting look, and there, in tho midst of it all, the poor, forgotten bunch of roses hung its Lead with a look of woe, as if it felt itself a stranger, an uninvited, an unwelcome guest. She glanced at tho flowers with a little carders, absent air. "Ah, roses!" said she. Then he replied, tho sadness of his heart making his voice shake: "Yes, dear, roses. It is the anniversary of our wedding day." Translated From the French For San Francisco Argonaut.

Detroit Free Pros TROLLEY ROADS IN ENGLAND. British Conservatism Yielding City Own the Way. John Bull ha3 at length como to the realization that there are such thing3 as electric roads in the world, and that possibly they may be a good thing. An American syndicate has secured tn franchise for an electric road in tbo city of Coventry, which has about 60, 000 population, and the w is going ahead. An experimental road jI six miles was put down in the suburbs of tha city of Leeds, and the city fathers of varous cities, and towns have been "junketed" over to Leed3 and intro duced to the mysteries of the Americaa trolley system. The Coventry authori ties were the first to yield to its seduc tions. The method of building street rail ways in England greatly lessens the cost of installation to the promoting capitalist. The city puts down and owns the tracks or permanent way. The operating company leases the track for twenty-one years, and at the expiration of the lease it may be re newed, or the city may buy the plant and rolling stock at an appraised valu ation. The Coventry road has eight miles ot track, which is all single track, but with long sidings. The estimated cost of rolling stock, poles, wires and power station is $250,000. Everything Is to ba furnished from America, even to the poles for the wires. It was originally supposed that English poles would do, but when put up they were found un equal to the strain of supporting tha wires, and the necessary poles had to be ordered from Philadelphia. If the innovation takes with the English public there will be a pot of, money for the American syndicat?, which will probably be called upon to put In similar roads in nearly all the English cities. The conservatism of the English people on this -subject seems to be as pronounced today as it wa3 in the time when Citizen George Francis Train put down bis first tram way in Parliament street, London, and was then compelled to take up his rails by the outraged and indignant public. The continental cities have taken more kindly to the electric railroad. system, and in fact the fir3t trolley road in the world was in the streets of Berlin. This road had a trolley rid ing on a wire at the side of the street, with flexible wire connection to tht car. The upward pressure system witli the familiar trolley pole of today was a later invention. A firm o English electricians have recently tackled the conduit eiectria road problem, and produced something in the nature of a small tunnel and motor therein, with a projection which, reaches through the slot and pushes tha street car along. Biff Ripks on Milling; Shipa. Re-insuring risks on vessels long overdue, and supposed to be lost, is a game of chance in which -speculative marine underwriters have been indulg ing. One of the vessels on which such, big odds have been taken was the Brit ish bark Commander, which sailed oa April 11. from Chittagong, India, for the West Indies and the Delaware Break water, and has been given up for lost. Both vessel and cargo were insured at ordinary risks, at the rates then cur rent for vessels trading on long voy ages. After three months (had elapsel without the arrival of the vesse', tha original insurers placed their riEks with, other companies, paying 20 guinca3 premium, and escaping the payment of a total lc-fs. Those who took the nrwi risk became alarmed at the conUnuedT" absence of the vessel, and to protect themselves, they re-insured the vessel and cargo at 40 guineas premium. A3 the loss of the vessel appears to ba beyond doubt, those who last took tha risk will be called upon to pay a total loss. The British ship Munster sailed,''ia ballast, from Rio Janeiro on May 10 for1 Newcastle, New South Walo, and is be- -s lieved to have been lost off Cape Horn. She is now being re-insured at 80 guin eas premium. The ship Lord Spencer, which sailed from San Francisco for Qucenstown on April and the Star o! i Austria, which sailed from Santa Ro- r salia on March 25 for Falmouth, ara j believed to have bsen lost, and vessels and cargoes are being re-insured at 70 guineas premium.

The small ness in numbers, however, was mora than made up by the size of the jag that each one labored with. They were the drunkest kind of drunks. One of the most interesting was Charle3 Stiles, an old soldier. "Wheel Gee whizli, but this ish rotten whishky." This was the dialogue he carried on with himself at the corner of Second street and Kansas avenue, at 10 o'clock last night "Here comesh these policeh, but 1 ain't goin with "em." But he did. lis will be tried this afternoon. Harry Palmer is a pump repairer. Par ties at 316 West Sixth Btreet telephoned the police to come and look after him last night, ilia horse had walked up to the curbing and stopped, and Palmrr was lying in the cart too full to hold up his head. "This ish a shame, I shay. I can take care of myself all right. Pd just as shoon go, but you charge too much for lodging," ho was able to ejaculate, lie pleaded guilty and was lined $5. "I haven't voted yet, I tell you." I won't hurt anybody, even if I am jagged, and I wantsh you to let me go," was the way Whittlesey Johnson expressed his feeliugs at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He fairly screamed, and greatly dis turbed afternoon police court. He was found lyiag on a board back of the Throop hotel, so drunk that he was thought to be dead. George Hustou at 4 o'clock, police station: "You fellers have got it in for me, that's what you have. You took that box of cigars half an hour ago, and now you 'rest me. Thal'eh uil right, that'sh all right" lie felt better this morning and paid his $5 fine. M. Wilkersou is a farmer who came to the city to see how an election was run in a great city. He became sadly confused and at 9 o'clock last night he rode over from the Union Pacilic depot in the patrol wagon. He will contest his case. Henry Seiber maintained through it all that ho wasn't driving too fast last night aud that he wasn't drunk. He will try to prove it this afternoon at police court. IT 18 3N0T Til UE. Th Statement Mad Uj Charles Holliday, Says President T. II. Sweet. Mr. T. B. Sweet, president of the Trust Company of America, has written the Journal a letter in which he denies the statements made by Charles K. Holliday about the number of homes in Topeka the company has acquired through mortgages. Mr. Holliday made the statement that the company had taken in 330. Mr. Sweet saya: "Our book shows that we have been in business here nearly twenty-three years, that during that time we have acquired for our customers, by foreclosure, sixty nine pieces of property in the city of Topeka, including vacant lots, business houses, and residence property, on mort- Awarded 'Highest Honors World's Fair, mm fl-B J! t- V mm 1 JS.Bt MOST PERFECT MADE. pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.

Of this number forty-three may be termed resi dence properties. Of these, a majority were not owned by the occupants, but were owned by people who rented them to others and did not live in them, so that twenty at the outside would cover the people who have lost their homes by foreclosures directed by us, and it may be pertinent to add, if the former owners of any of these properties do not think that the properties have cost the pres ent owners all that they are now worth, they can have the property deeded back by paying the amount that the property has cost the present owners with 7 per cent interest on such amount" MISSING WORD SWINDLES. still Finding Dapes in England Although Prohibited by Law. Though, "missing word" contests were declared illegal six months or a year ago in England and were supposed to have been definitely stopped, the7 are still being carried on. Unfortunate ly it is only the fraudulent ones that are now in existence. The "missing word contest" was so popular for many months after it was introduced that it has been kept up even against the law. It never attained any great popularity in this country. A sentence was print ed with one word left blank, and the first person who supplied the missing word by mail got the chief prize, other awards being made up to a considerable sum. Each competitor sent in some thing like a shilling as entrance fee, and the total amount received in this way, generally an enormous sum, was distributed among the winners. That was the way the competition went when it was managed fairly. But the most of the missing word games, if not all of them, that are now running, are man aged on no such principle. The period icals now cos-.ducting them are general ly printed somewhere on the continent, and are scattered broadcast on British toil. In many cases they are not peri odicals at all, but merely circulars sealed up as letters giving the terms of the competition and the sentence to be completed. An instance of how one of these swindles works is that of a working man who sent three shillings abroad to a contest. A few days later he received in reply a letter marked "Private," ostensibly from an employe of the foreign concern which offered in "revenge" to supply the missing word secretly for twenty shillings, or about ?5. The deluded mechanic sent on the money and received the word. Short ly afterwards he got a letter from tho company, saying that he had won, and that there were several hundred dollars standing to his credit. The only trouble was, so the letter ran, that another com petitor had lodged a complaint and claimed two pounds. If he was willing to buy the man out, sending two pounds by postal, the prize money would be forwarded to him in full. The working man started to pawn cli-tMng in order to raise the money, when a friend suggested to him to have the company send "the prize money min us the two pounds. He wrote to that effect. In answer came a letter stat ing that he need not send the money, as it had all been settled. But they had a chargo on their books against him for "notarial and other costs of currency," amounting to five shillings. Would he send that over immediately for ex penses. Confidingly he did so, and never heard from the company afterwards. To Destroy the Weevil.

Robert Fleming, chairman of the Lon don stockholders' committee and John Luden, chairman of the Dutch stock holders' committee.arrived in New York city yesterday to join the reorganization committee of the Santa Fe, and the pro ceedings of that body are now looked forward to with great interest in railroad circles. There is no doubt that a deadlock now exists in the cummitttee, for had matters been progressing satisfactorily to all, Messrs. Fleming and Luden would never have taken the trouble and time to come to this country, but would have voted by proxy. Great significance is attached to the fact that both Mr. Fleming and Sir. Luden were members of the reorganiza tion committee of the Denver Rio Grande, which put Mr. Jeffery in as president, and it is conceded that their influence will be used in favor of Mr. Jeffery for the presidency of the Santa Fe.

Ho was attending tho kindergar ten, nnd his mother naturally inferred thr.t the chango was somehow due to his teacher's instruction. "Miss Smith teaches you to be politeP" ehe remarked in a tone of interrogation. "Ko," said the boy; "she never says a word about it." The mother was puzzled, and all the more whou further questioning brought orly moro emphatic denials that the teacher had ever given her pupils lessons in good breeding. "Woll, then," the mother asked finally, "if Miss Smith doesn't say anything, what docs sho do?" "Sho doesn't do anything," persisted the boy. "Sho just walks around, and wo feel polite. Wo feel j ust as polite as as anything." That was all he could tell about It, and bis mother began to see through the mys tery. Educational News. Anxious For Criticism.
