TWO CENTS. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 26, 1895. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. CAN'T RESUBMIT. George L. Douglass Shows the Figures Why Resubmission is a Forlorn Hope. THE LITTLE COUNTIES Have Nearly as Large a Repre sentation As, the Big Populous Counties Favoring Resubmission. Wichita, Nov. 26. Geo. L. Donglas3 ays that resubmission is an impossibility in Kansas aa the present legislature is constituted. To a Wichita Beacon re porter he said: "Some people hereabouts have no idea whatever of the difficulties in the way of resubmission. They imagine that by making a noise ia Wichita they are pro gressing toward resubmission. As a matter of fact every breath expended on the subject in Wichita is wasted. Resub mission can only be had by a two-thirds Tote in both houses of the legislai nre. It requires 84 votes in the house to re submit. Sedgwick county can furnish 3. Where are the other SI to come from? "The basis of representation in the house is a tremendous obstacle to over come. There are 105 counties, each of which (except Morton) is constitutionally entitled to at least one representative. This leaves just 21 extra representatives to be apportioned anion; the larger counties on the basis of population. "The following taDle shows tbe 104 counties which "have representatives, their population, and their representa tion in the house: No of County.

One result ia that Sedgwick county.with 39,106 people and three representatives, is outvoted by four coun ties (Grant, Seward, Stanton, and Stev ens) having a total population of 2,653. VVyandotte county, with her 57,286 peo ple and three representatives, is in exactly the same rix; and the game is true of Leavenworth and Shawnee. In other words, when it comes to the legis lature submitting an amendment to the constitution 2,655 people in four western counties outweigh fifteen times that many people in Wyandotte. 'The four strong resubmission coun ties are Atchison, Leavenworth, Wyan- d?t,t?oad BedKwick. with a population of 158,019 and II votes In the house. "Now take your pencil and figure out the population of the following counties- -Barber. Cheyenne. Chase, Clark, Co-' Blanche, Edwards, Ellsworth, Decatur Eilis, Finney, Ford, Gove, Graham Grant, Gray, Greeley, Hamilton, Has kell, Hodgeman, Kearney. Kiowa, Lane, Logan, iieade, Ness, Norton, Pratt, Pawnee, Rawlins, Rasa, Rooks, Russell. Soelt, Suflord, Seward, Sheridan, Slur- man, Stanton, Stevens, Thomas, Trego, Wallace, Wichita and Woodson." "Here are 44 counties with 161,059 people (just about as many aa live in Atchison, Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Sedgwick) and they have 44 votes in the house more than enough to block any amendment to the constitution until the crack of doom if they choose. Of course some of these counties are for resubmis sion. But how many? And how many of the remaining counties are for it? Most of them have been considered strong prohibition counties. "The question is where are the neces sary 84 votes to be gotten? It is easy to figure up where about 20 or 25 might be gotten; but how about the 84? The truth is that the great bulk of them must come, if at all, from what are supposed to be strong prohibition counties. 'Under these circumstances resubmis sionists should waste no time in Wichita, but get out and convert the communities which will control the vote when the test comes; for every man in AtchUon, Leavenworth, Kansas City, Fr. Scott, Wichita and even Topeka might be standing on his head for resub mission; and yet the vote of representa tives from the smaller towns and rural districts could snow it under ten to one. "The fact is the people on the farms and in the smaller towns like Marion, McPherson, Pratt, Iola and a hundred others, have got the bull by the tail, and unless they let go or enough of them can be pursuaded that the law should be changed fas applied to anti-prohibition communities, in the interest of temper ance and morality, they can delay the business indefinitely. "Reference is 6ome times made to the change effected in Iowa a few years ago. But there is no comparison between the situation in Iowa and in Kansas. In Iowa it only required i bard majority of the legislature to change the law. There was no such overwhelming inequality in the basis of representation between agri cultural and city population as exists in Kansas, and there were also large towns scattered all over Iowa, not only in the east part of the state, but in the center and west as well. The man who imag ines that change can be brought about in this state in the same way that it was ia Iowa simply doesn't know anything about the situation." FIRM AGAINST CLEVELAND. Gov. Stone Says Democrat Must Repudi ate Hlui to Win. Sedalia, Mo., Nov, 26. The Sunday morning Democrat prints a 4,000 word letter from Gov. Stone to a prominent Democrat of this city, who had written to the chief executive asking his views on the political situation in general, and in Missouri in particular. The letter says in part: "Two years ago we were a compact, distinct, vigorous party; today we are little better than a discomfited, discord.-., ant mob. The cause of this amazing metamorphosis you know and I know. There can be but one explanation, The un-Democratic financial policies of the administration are almost wholly re sponsible for our misfortunes." To avert defeat in 1896, the governor insists that the Democratic party muBt repudiate Clevelandism and come out squarely for free coinage. He says: "With this object in view I favor begin ning where we left off at the old ratio of 16 to 1 and see if the parity cannot be established at that point. I am as sincerely anxious for harmony and suc cess as any Democrat in the state, and am more than willing to make sacrifices to secure them, but if harmony means that I am to doff my Democracy and put on the livery of the plutocrat I object. If the alternative offered be the abandon ment of party principle or the affliction of party defeat, if I must surrender in the open field or be shot from ambush, why then I prefer to stand by the old flag." CHESTER INTERVIEWED. Air. Long Says Ha Had Rather Run Against Jerry St mpson Than Anybody. Washington, D. C, Nov. 26. Representative-elect Chester I. Long of Kan sas, the successor ia congress of Jerry Simpson, is here. Mr. Long has taken house 2815, Four teenth street, where he has located for the winter with his family. Just around the corner from him, at 1378 Howard avenue, is the home of Representative elect Kirkpatrick, also of Kansas, and across the street Delegate Flynn of Ok lahoma has established his home for the winter. "Of course I do not know positively that I will be a candidate in the next congressional election in my district," said Mr. Long, '-but if I should be I would rather have Mr. Simpson to run against than anybody else in tbe district; because I know him and the people know him. Mr. Simpson is an out and out free trader and a follower of Henry George." NAKED IN A SLEEPER. Somebody Steals All W. P. Markle's Clothes and Pullman Co. Won't Pay. Kansas City, Ma, Nov. 26. The Pull man Sleeping Car company is deter mined to test the liability of sleeping car companies for property stolen from their passengers while asleep. While truveling from St. Louis to St. Joseph in a Pullman sleeper on the night of July 13th laBt, W. P. Markle, traveling salesman for a hardware firm, was robbed of his wear ing apparel. Next morning he was con veyed to a hotel in St. Joseph in a nude condition. He recently got judgment for the value of his clothing in Justice Eberl'a court, and the Pullman com pany yesterday appealed the case to the circuit court. MRS. VAN DER GILT'S GIFT. She Donatai $300 to the New Tork Police Pension Fund. New York, Nov. 26. Treasurer Andrews, of the police board, yesterday received the following letter, containing a check for $300: Dear Sir: It will be a great pleasure to me if you will accent for the Police Pension fund the inclosed check. I wish it were n my power to express in words to the men who kept order on the day of my danghter's wedding my full appre ciation for the great service they ren dered me. Believe me yours truly, Alva E. Vanderbilt, 27a 24 East Seventy-second street, (lira, W, K Vakss&silx.) WREGKEDBYWIND A Winter Cyclone Strikes Cleve land, Ohio. WindKeaehes Seventy-two Miles an Hour. HOUSES BLOWN DOWN. Worst Storm Chicago and the West Has Seen. An Absolute Telegraphic Block ade at All Points. Cleveland, Nov. 2a The greatest gale that ever struck this city according to the records of the weather bureau, commenced blowing from the south shortly after midnight Shortly after 5 o'clock this morning the wind had raised to a velocity of 72 miles an hour; several bouses were blown down and many buildings unroofed, trees were uprooted and signs blown away in all parts of the city. The water in the river is at the lowest point recorded in several years. At 9 o'clock the weather bureau report ed the barometer still very low and that the gale would probably continue throughout the day. Telegraph and tel ephone wires are badly prostrated in all directions. Communication with Chica go was entirely cut ofl until a late hour this morning, when the Postal Telegraph Cable company reported one slow wire working to Chicago and this dispatch is transmitted to the west over that line. THE STORM WEST. It Seems to Have Been the Very Worst Chicago Has Seen For Years. Chicago. Nov. 26. This dispatch is sent by the Postal Telegraph cable com pany, which had the only wire working out of this city at 9 o'clock. The storm which raged here last night and early this morning, was one of the worst that ever struck this city. The wind blew a gale and the snow fell in great clouds. Street and railroad traffic are greally de layed and the street car companies had to abandon some of their minor lines, devoting their energies to keeping the main lines open. Despatches re ceived here show the same state of affairs throughout Illinois. On Lake Michigan the gale was very severe and the sea ia running very high. jtGomparativi--4wTesi-irB'rrt-ialr this time of year, and it is not expected that there will be much loss of life, if any. No vessel left the harbor last uight. In many places the storm blew down the telephone and trolley wires in Chi cago, and from the latter Berious acci dents were narrowly averted, as it was three horses were killed from coming in contact with the trolley wtres. Several fires appeared during the night and made great trouble for the department as its own electric system was go badly deranged that delays were occasioned in the transmission of alarms. Chicago, Nov. 26. The storm has ap parently been tbe worst for many years, the worst since the New York blizzard to wdich indirectly the death of Roscoe Conkling was attributed. The snow fall since Sunday evening has been 12.9 inches. This is the heavi est snow fall reported in Chicago in No vember in the last twelve years. Suburban trains on steam railways ire greatly delayed while some of the trol ley lines had to be abandoned entirely. On Elton avenue electric line cars were standing on the track at 9 o'clock this morning aud where they were caught by last night's storm. The Sixty-seventh street trolley line at a late hour has not attempted to run a single car. Other lines were similarly crippled and so it was that thousands upon thousands of people were greatly delayed or were prevented from reaching their places of business. At 10 o'clock this morning the West ern Union Gold Stock Telephone Co. says: "There was never a completer telegraph blockade than exists today. Up to 9 o'clock there was no wire out of this city further than to the stock yards. This will of course much upset the speculative markets. The block ade is complete in every direction. Chicago. Nov. 26. The" lives of at least 25 men are in imminent peril on board vessels which have been blown around on Lake Michigan off Gleocoe. The vesseU are steamer J. Emery Owen, Capt. Marion Penny, with a crew of eight men. The schooner Michigan with captain and six men; schooner Nicholson with captain and crew of seven men. These vessals went aground between midnight and daybreak. On board the schooners, the crews have lashed themselves to ma3ts, and from the fact that they cannot be seen through powerful glasses to move, it is believed that many of them have been frozen to death. St. Louis, Nov. 26. The blizzard sub sided this morning, after leaving six to eight inches of snow on the ground, badly crippling street railroads and great ly impeding all kinds of traffic. Tele phone wires are down in numerous places and telegraph lines are down in all directions. The storm raged throughout Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, and was more severe than any preceding one for many years. In Texas it swept over the ranches, cover ing them with snow several inches deep, severely exposing all kinds of live stock to its fury. If the temperature falls much lower in that section there will be great loss of cattle and sheep. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 26. The storm of wind and sleet and in some places snow mixed with rain, cut off the west includ ing St. Louis and Chicago. All com munication was lost but one telegraph wire to Louisville. The telegraphic tests indicate grounding of wires at no great distance west of here. There are many broken windows and prostrated signs here. The steamers Rob Roy and lie Connell were blown from their moorings. Tbe steamer John E. Speed at River side was blown from, her moorings and driven into the steamer O'Neil in the 1 o'clock storm tonight. Both are badly wrecked. Loss not known. Toledo, O.. Nov. 26. The heavy west ern storm in this vicinity has crippled the entire telegraph and telephone service in this city. The Western Union has lost every wire into Chicago. Pct in Bay, O Nov. 26. Last night's storm was very destructive here. Sever al buildings were demolished. A deck hand whose name is unknown on the steamer Messenger, was blown over board and drowned. A sand sucker dragged her anchor and is adrift in the lake. Two men are on board and it is believed they will be lost. Tremendous sea is running. Buffalo, N. Y Nov. 26. High winds prevail here. The telegraph companies are experiencing great trouble in getting off business. Wires are down in all directions. Canada has practically been cut off from all connection with the United States at this point Xiacara Falls Augmented. Niagara Falls, N. Y., Nov. 26. The cataract is greatly augmented in volume by the force of the westerly wind, and the wind itself has attained a velocity scarcely paralleled here. The suspension bridge has been subjected to a tremendous strain and it was feared that some of the cables might part. The Erie freight sheds were blown down fur a distance of 225 feet Dunkirk, N. Y., Nov. 26. The wind is blowing sixty miles an hour here, and all crafts in the harbor are In danger of being torn from their anchorage. KIRKPATRICK JTALKS His Views on Oklahoma's Admission, Re publican Success, lnyalls and Silver. Washington, Nov. 26. "I am not in clined to believe that congress will admit Oklahoma into the union as a state until the land occupied by the five civilized tribes is join 3i to it, and can come Into the union as a part of the state," Baid Representative-elect Kirkpatrick of Kansas. "If a law were passed making it pos sible for the Indians to withdraw from the tribes I think thera would be a rush among the Indians to take advantage of this opportunity. Seeing that the oppor tunity was at hand for other Indians to withdraw from the tribes and to receive a portion of the land and of the funds held by the government, in severalty, each Indian would fear that if he delay ed accepting the offer the best land would be taken up and he would ba the loser. "I have no doubt we will carry the state next year," continued Mr. Kirkpatrick. ''From present indications, 1 am inclined to think there wilt be a combination be tween Democrats and Populists in that state. At least soma of the leaders in both tbeae parties appear to be working energetically to tjat -end. But if this combination is effected itwill not be pos-iikLa-te-lai.ii raj-afi-.W'j of twa parties to the polls un a combined ticket. There are too many Democrats who do not take kindly to Populist doctrines, and many Populists will not indorse Demo cratic views. If this combination is formed both parties will lose, while the Republicans will ba strengthened by the combination." "Are the proapeots now In favor of Mr. Ingalls' return to the United States Ben ate?" "That is a matter that cannot ba deter mined by any one at this time. There is no doubt that Mr. Ingalls will be a very formidable candidate. I think that ex-Representative Peters will come out as a candidate, although he has not yet done so." "How ia the drift of sentiment in Kan sas on the silver question?" Mr. Kirk patrick was asked. "There ia not so much talk about silver in Kansas now as heretofore, though there is a very strong silver sentiment which is not confined to the Democratic party, many Republicans feeling favora ble to it" Speaking of the house organization, Mr. Kirkpatrick said that while the Kan sas delegation is Bupposed to be in the combine, be was satisfied that there had been no agreement among its members to pledge the delegation and he proposed to vote lor General Henderson for clerk of the house.

Corbett Says He Will Never Enter the Ring Again.'Whatevor Is Said. C3 Lynn, Mass., Nov. 20. James J. Cor bett, in an interview today said: "I am disgusted with the entire business, and henceforth will confine my entire time to the stage. No matter what the public may say, whether it be complimentary or otherwise, I cannot be induced again to enter the arena. "I am not disposed to answer any criti cism. I bestowed the championship upon Peter Maher because he is an Irish man and because I prefer he should bear and defend the title rather than place it in the custody of an Australian or Eng lishman. Up to the present I have de clined to give my reasons for recogniz ing Maher, but you can print that as coming from me. I consider Peter Maher the peer of any man in the ring and have no hesitancy in saying that be can whip Fitzsimmons. He is a great man and he will demonstrate bis right to bear the title of chamDion of tha world." SHE'S A GOOD LAWYER. Mrs. KJernan Trias Her Own Case and Does Very Well.

The fight over the property of tha Colored Baptist church, of which Rev. G. D. Olden is pastor, was before Jus tice of the Peace Guy this afternoon for a short time. The trustees of the original Second Baptist ehurch who were put out of the church by Preacher Olden brought suit to get possession of the church property and asked the court to order the janitor, who holds the keys, to turn the church ovfr to them. Mr. Olden's side of the case was that Put Out church members had no right to the property. Justice Guy certified the case to the district court because there was a dis pute over the title to the property be tween two rival boards of trustees. The Put Outs showed that since the old trustees had been put out Rev. Mr Olden had changed the name of his or ganization and that his last church no tice in the daily papers Bhowed bim to be pastor of the First African Baptist church and not the Second Baptist church. A TURKEY FOR GR0VER. Virginia. Man's Offariiie for Mr. Clevs land's Thanksgiving Meal. Washington, Nov. 26. Henry Har rison, of Leesbtirg, Va., who owns a fish ing ground which President Cleveland occasionally visits, came to Washio.on yesterday to present a Thanksgiving tur key to the president's family. While it was accepted with thanks, there is no proof that it will grace the presidential board Thrusday. A leading citiz9n of Rhode Island for many years has seot a large Thanksgiving turkey to the White House without regard to the politics of the occupant. He has not yet been heard from this year. The turkey ha sent last year was given to the servants at the White House and this may have cooled his enthusiasm. PAYNE TO GET IT.

Storm Sweeps the Continent in a Direct Line. Snow East, West, North and South of Us. NO SECTION ESCAPES. Kansas and Missouri Well Soaked Yesterday. Coldest Day of Season in Mis souri Talley. Chicago, Not. 26. During1 the forty-eight hours beginning Saturday at midnight the worst storm of the sea son passed from the Gulf of California across the continent in nearly a direct line through El Paso, Texas, till it came to the Mississippi river. After striking the Mississippi valley it fol lowed northward to the great lakes, spending its force in Canada. Last night it had reached Cairo and St. Louis by 8 o'clock. At the former place over one and a quarter inches of rain had fallen by that time, freezing as it fell. The storm, as it passed northward, greatly increased iu force. Its greatest force was felt in the South and East. It bids fair to produce the lowest temperature of the season, the lowest thus far being 10 below zero in the Dakotas. In the Southern and Eastern States it rained all day yesterday and most of last night. In the Western and North ern States the precipitation turned to snow and sleet. It rained over an inch at Little Rock, and over an inch at Cincinnati. Over a half inch of rain fell over the entire state of Missouri. Last night it was snowing heavily at Kansas City, Springfield and St. Louis. The storm has already brought the lowest ter .ture of the season over parts of t. ssouri valley and the States of Ohio i Tennessee. Throughout the West and Southwest. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 26. Rain fell all day and at night-fall turned into snow, which continued to come down until a late hour, covering the streets to a depth of several inches and inter fering with street car traffic. The storm prevails throughout the State and farther south. Reports from Dallas, Sherman, Fort Worth and other points in Northern Texas indi cate that the heaviest snow storm in years has been rag-injr throughout that section since yesterday. A decided fall in temperature has taken place, and as live stock is in bad shape to meet it heavy losses are expected. From five to twelve inches of snow has fallen in Kansas and Nebraska. j Storm In the Territory. GrTHTUE, Okla., Nov. 26. One of the hardest snow storms known here raged all day yesterday, covering the coating of ice and sleet which formed Sunday to a depth of five inches, and it is still snowing. The weather is unprecedented in this season, snow or ice having been unknown here before Christmas. WON A $1,000,000 SUIT. Am S. Davis, Jr., Is the Owner of the Richest Bank in Montana. Helena, Mont., Nov. 26. The Su preme court handed down ten de cisions yesterday, the most important of which was an appeal from Butte, Mont., involving the ownership of the First National bank of that city. The bank is incorporated with 1,000 shares, valued at SI, 000 per share. A. S. Davis, sr., was the incorporator, and owned 9-30 shares. Just before he died he gave his son, A. S. Davis, jr., the entire block of stock. As the man left no will the administrator appointed by the court demanded of young Davis the stock, to be divided equally among the deceased's relatives. The son refused to give it up. suit was brought and Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was employed as attorney for the plaintiff and argued the suit. The case was appealed to the supreme court and the decision was to the ef fect that young Davis is the owner of the richest bank in the State of Montana. Bnrned Daring a Snow Storm.

Pebry, Okla., Nov. i6. The verdict in an important murder case was ren dered here last evening, after the jury had been locked up 100 hours. It was the case of the Territory against E. T. Hand for the murder of George F. Rohr, formerly mayor of Arkansas City. The killing occurred near Kil dare last spring in a dispute over, a claim, but the jury decided that it was justifiable and acquitted Hand. At Sioux City, Iowa, Nellie Patton was shot and almost instantly killed by her lover, William Royce. The crime was caused by jealousy. MEETING OF CONGRESS. Several Kaw Candidates for Honse Jobs Tom Reed Arrives Washington, Nov. 26. The arrival of a number of Senators and members, including ex-Speaker Reed, has served to increase discussion over the reor ganization of the two houses of Con gress, and the prospect now is that this will be the uppermost question in Congressional circles until the House contest is settled and it is decided whether the Senate will reorganize. The fact that the speakership is universally conceded to Mr. Reed has had the effect of concentrating inter est in the other elective offices, and it appears probable that the elimination of the speakership will not diminish the general concern over the result. General Henderson and Mr. Mc Dowell are still the only two candi dates for the house clerkship, and it is not believed any dark horse candidates will develop between this time and next Saturday, when the house caucus will be held, Mr. McDowell's friends are boldly claiming that they are sure of a majority, but the Henderson men, instead of conceding this assert that McDowell's vote will be fifteen or twenty short of sufficient to nominate. There is a possibility of a change in the contest for sergeant-at-arms, but the rumors in that connection are too vague to base a statement on. A Mr. Baker, of Kentucky has announced hinfself as a candidate for this office within the past day or two. There are now three candidates for doorkeeper: Tipton of Tennessee, Fortune of North Carolina and Adams of Maryland. The names of Mr. Fair less of Virginia and William Catlett of West Virginia have also been added to the list of candidates for postmaster. The Southern Republicans have an nounced their intention of holding a caucus for the purpose of agreeing upon candidates whom they can sup port as a body. There are twenty three Republican members from this section, not including those from Mis souri. CORPSES ON A BOAT, The Dead Bodies of Four Men Who Had Been Murdered Guarded by a Dor. Paris, Texas, Nov. '26. Fuller de velopments concerning the finding of a dead man on a trading boat below Arthur City reveals the fact that four men were murdered. About three weeks ago three men purchased the boat and with a boy moved two and a half miles below Arthur. For several days the boat had been observed anchored without a human being in sight. Several citizens concluded to investigate, and the corpses of the three men and boy were all found lying in bed, undressed. A ferocious dog prevented the par ties from entering for a time, but was finally overcome. The victims had etidently been dead several days. One of them met death by his skull being crushed. The men's clothing was scattered about the room, with their pockets turned inside out, showing robbery, as well as murder. One was a large man, about 45 or 50 years of age, with a heavy, sandy mustache, shaved so as to extend to his lower jaw bone. Pa pers under his head indicated that his Dame was E. C. Carody, and that he was the owner of the outfit. NOTED EXHIBITORS. Governor Morton, George Goald, John Jacob Astor, J. Piermont Morgan. New York, Nov. 26.

The coach was badly smashed up and had to be left piled up on the track. Two women in it had a narrow escape. As the cars came together, Conductor James Lake jumped to save himself, and lit on some boards and badly in jured his head and body. There was only one brakeman on the train. Bnt Ten Buffalo Left. Butte, Mont., Nov. i6. It is stated in connection with the arrest of J. S. Courtney for killing buffalo in the National park, that there are only ten head of these animals in the park, and that the soldiers and park oSicials are unable to protect them from the poachers, and that the true condition of affairs is kept from the department at Washington. Spoke Disrespectfully of a lady. McAbthur, Ohio, Nov. 26. At the fair grounds here, C. H. Rogers was ridden on a rail and afterward tarred and feathered. The sheriff arrived and prevented further maltreatment, but advised the victim to take to tbe woods at once, which he did.

Vote New York, Nov. 26. Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, in an inter view vesterdav. said: "The Repub licans are for McKinley for the next presidential candidate, first, last and all the time." "Do you think that the Republicans will be able to reorganize the United States Senate at the coming session?" "Yes," he replied, "1 believe we will be strong enough to assume con trol. I have been in Washington for a week and can say that at the open ing of the Senate, the Republicans will start in and reorganize that body. I believe that all the Populist mem bers of the Senate wiU vote with the Republicans this session. That, at least, is the understanding among the leaders now, and I do not think that anything will turn up to change the program." Governor-elect Busnnell of Ohio is at the Holland house. In an interview he expressed the opinion that Governor McKinley would be the next Republican nominee for Presi dent. IN A MEXICAN PRISON. Three Americans Deprived of Their Lib erty on a Trumped Up Charge. Dkming, N. M., Nov. 26. Israel King, ex-member of the Legislature, and one of the most prominent men in the territory, and two employes, Henry Coleman and John Ward, are under arrest and undergoing imprison ment at Ascension, Mexico, in a filthy, unhealthful prison, without proper food, and refused bail and not per mitted to communicate with any per sons, because two head of cattle, be longing to an American, but claimed by the authorities to be owned by a Mexican, strayed into a herd which King was shipping into the United States. The arrests were totally un justified. The authorities at the City of Mexico and at Washington have been notified, in order that the men may be protected. Alauy Want to Be Healed. Atchison, Kan., Nov. 2G. The dis patches about II. H. Wentworth, the Atchison fieajer. have brought the poor flagman a notoriety, which in all his 80 odd years he never dreamed would be his. Letters are pouring in upon him in such quantities that now his daily mail is greater than that of any man or firm in the city. Yester day at 10 o'clock there was a record of 235 letters and the heavy mails of the day had not yet arrived. These letters come from everywhere, and from peo ple with every imaginable ailment, and all asking for the influence of the wonderful power of the magical healer. Tramps Fatally Scalded.

A quantity of paris green had been placed in the wine vessel, from which he is in the habit of drinking during the service. Fortunately, the powder was visible on top of the wine, and as a previous attempt had been made on bis life, the reverend gentleman became suspic ious and did not partake of the wine. The poison was placed in the vessel during Saturday night. Has raltb. in Schlatter. St. Josehu, Mo., Nov. 26. A. M. Morey, superintendent of the St. Joseph and Grand Island railroad, has much faith in Francis Schlatter. Mr. Morey has oeen a sufferer from rheu matism for sixteen years, and, al though he is not cured, he claims that the severe pains to which he was sub ject have left him, and he attributes his remarkable improvement to the power of Schlatter, whom he visited in Denver.

The kind made by T. E. Bowman Co. have stood the racket of hard times. BENEFITS OF SANITATION. Great Financial l.oa Comae to VUmy Communities From sickness and Death. This is a hard, practical age that de mands money value for every progres sive Etep, and efforts to Improve sani tary conditions are too often retarded by this mercenary claim. As argu ments sanitarian present some remark able ittlistics, showing financial loss. Individually and as a whole, to com munities when an epidemic prevails. A number of very interesting tables and diagrams have been compiled by G. E. Willetts, of Michigan, showing mortal ity from general and specific causes covering a period of 250 years. His search of the records of England ha3 been very thorough, resulting princi pally in estimates of London and En glish counties, says New York Times. From his tables, simply arranged with heavy black columns, varying in length according to the percentage of mortality, It is shown that in London from' 1660 to 1679 the rate of mortality from fevers alone was 875 per 100,000 persons. In' 1888 it was but 17, more than fifty times less. The reduction shows greatest between 1801 and 1810, then a considerable decrease followed from 1831 to 1840, after which it re mained about stationary throught 1841 to 1871, showing slight change to 1888. Similar progress is Indicated for con sumption, but greater for smallpox. The latter disease killed 502 persons in every 100,000 just previous to Jenner's discovery, in 1780. In 1885 there was only 9 deaths from smallpox to 100,000. A remarkable decrease is indicated al bo for all general causes. In 1679 the rate stands at 80 deaths for every 1,000 inhabitants, and diminishes to 18.4 in 1888 in London. The greatest progress has been made, of course, since sanitation became a science, and increasing advancement is shown when people have learned that the adoption of its measures saves money. In most states the maximum value of a man's life is put at ?5,000 and the minimum $1,000 for damages. William Farr, in his cold calculations of mortality and loss, estimated the life of an English farm laborer at $1,200 and a woman's about $500 less. These figures are too low for Ameri can labor, and decidedly low for a large portion of the middle class. For Illus tration, however, the conservative fig ure $1,000 is generally used. This amount multiplied by the death rate of a given place gives the approximate loss to that community. This does not include loss from sickness, which some statisticians estimate on a basis of ten or twelve cases to every death. In small towns, where sanitary meas ures have not been generally adopted and a proper sewerage system Is un known, barring epidemics, the number of deaths yearly has generally averaged 4 to 7 per 10,000 population. Taking the money value of ach life at $1,000 the amount of loss to the town is ob vious. Outwitting an Indian. Fighters of Indians need to be men of Quick wit and a steady hand. Such a man was John Hawks, one of the set tlers of Hadley, Mass. An exploit of this pioneer, in 1676, is narrated by the historian of Deerfield. The Indians had made an attack upon Hatfield, and troops from other towns had gone to the rescue. Among the men from Had ley was John Hawks. Soon after tho Hadley men got ashore John Hawks, who was behind a tree, heard some one call him by name. A Pocumtuck Indian, who had taken a po sition behind another tree, had recog nized Hawks as an old acquaintance. Hawks returned the compliment, and each man began taunting the other, and daring his enemy to come into the open and fight the thing out. The Indian had the best of it, and was perfectly aware of his advantage. At any moment some of the gathering Indians were likely to come up behind Hawks and force him out of his cover. Under these circumstances, of course, the Indian was In no haste to expose himself. However, the white man was not blind to the danger of his own situation. Something must be done, and that speedily. He knew what his ad versary counted upon, and that gave him his clue. .All at once he sprang from behind his tree, and leveled his gun as if to repel an attack from another direction. TJie Pocumtuck took the bait, and sprang forward. He would capture Hawks the moment his gun was empty. Quick as thought the white man wheeled, and before the Indian could raise his gun or reach his cover gave him a fatal shot. It was all the work of a few seconds, and Hawks, though wounded in the ensuing fight, lived to fight other battles. A Tale for the Youth. Once upon a time two boys played marbles upon the Sabbath day. Their names were John and William. When they returned to their homes, John was whaled with a trunkstrap, while William was merely chided and suffered to go his way in peace. The boys grew to be men. John became the implacable foe of wealth in all forms and talked Inces santly about it, while William was a millionaire and a member of several corporations., And yet there can be no doubt that William would have been just as good a man as John, had he been subjected to restraint In his youth. Dear reader, when you have played marbles upon the Sabbath, insist upon the trunkstrap, and take nothing else. It is your right. Do not be bluffed out of it. Puffa.

An Interview With the Great Labor Leader. Is Not Discouraged and Will Keep Up the Fight. FOR LABOR'S CAUSE. Wants Laws That Confined Him Kevised. May Go On a Lecture Tour in a Few Months. Chicago, Nov. 26. In an interview Eueene V. Debs, president of the Ameri can Railway union, said regarding his imprisonment and his future: "I have been deprived of my liberty, and for a cause which I still believe was right and for which I would cheerfully stand imprisonment were the same issue involved again. I never taw a grander vindication than that given me by the trades unions of Chicago, No man could feel more flattered, and yet I de sire to say that I do not recognize it as a personal demonstration but rather the principle for which I stood at the time of the strike. 'I do not believe that there will ever be a strike of the proportions of that a year agu. The conditions have entirely changed sinoe then. I do not mean that ihe crrievances have since' ceased to ex ist, but rather that the general managers who were so prominent in our prosecu tion would rather submit to arbitration than have their employes go out on a strike. ".My confinement has given me quiet and food for thought. 1 have thought of many things. Prominent among theBS are the laws under which myself and the other officers of our organization were convicted, and which denied us the right of trial by jury. That law ought to be changed. Every man has the right to be tried by a jury of his peers, A second is the law by injunc tion. In my opinion we might as well have no law at all as to have one which permits a judge who knows nothing of the surrounding circumstances to be called in to regulate tho existence of tilings by iojuncticn. No one has over heard of an organization of working men asking for an injunction to restrain ilieir employes from cutting their wages. Why? The Judge does not sit on the bench who would grant such injunction, and yet workingmen are compelled by injunction to refrain from interfering with the employment of men who have taken their places when they have struck for better wages or more humane treatment.

Chicago's strikes, according to bulletin No. 1 of the labor bureau, just issued, have cost 8,84ti,494 in the past seven years, and this only relates to the loss in wages. No city in the country shows as heavy Iobs Eio as many men taking part in them in tue length of time covered by the re port. The number of strikes in New York was larger, but the loss smaller. Of course, the great strike of 1894 was tbe most important of them all. The commissioner finds that there were some twenty-five strikes, which were tributary to and finally a part of that one. It cost about $1,300,000 in wages to the work ingmen and cost the railroads over ?G, 000.000. There were no less than 10,060 strikes in Illinois from the beginning of the year 18S7 to July 1, 1894, of which 4,650 succeeded, 4,400 failed, and the re mainder were compromised. The Chi cago onions have, according to the re port, contributed about $2,000,000 to the assistance of strikers in that city and elsewhere, the larger portion of it being expended at home. The report express es no opinion, but only facts gathered. Lire Stock Lessen Kxpected. Sherman, Tex., Nov. 26. A blind ing snow storm has raged here since 9:30 a. m.

And what Is Thanks giving Silver? oooo Tbe question may be asked by those not yet familiar with custom which origi nated a few years ago, it is said, in a family whose name has been a part of New Eng land's annals since 1630 at least. A custom which is finding favor as fast as it is made known, o strongly does it ap peal to the borne sen timent, and the natur al desire for its ex pression. Briefly stated, it con sists of acquiring each year, on Thanksgiving day, some piece or pieces of silver. It may be bought for the occasion, but more commonly it is given by some home coming member of the family; and the origi nal idea was that it should correspond in value with the pros perity of the year. Each piece should carry the name of the giver, and the date of year it represents. One can readily un derstand the signific ance which, through association, will thus attach to sack a collection, as year after year rolls by, genera tion succeeds generation, and these Thank-offerings laid on the Altar of Home increase in number, in value ad in historical Interest. The original cost may be little or much, and, as inti mated, may vary with the circumstances of the year; but the record shonld be kept unbroken something should be added at every an niversary, and if to morn than a alagle spoon, it shonld always be of solid silver. eooo I cr.rry a fine line of Sterling Silver Goods suitable for Thanksgiving Sil ver.

Winfirld, Tov. 26. A peculiar, pain ful and probably fatal accident occurred Saturday afternoon late at the home of J. Oliverson in Highland Park. His ion and Ray Gay, the eleven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Gay, were playing in an outbuilding with an old gun which they charged with powder. If hey ram med the powder down with a Bteel ram rod and in lieu of a cap touched the tube with a match. Young Gay was standing in front of the gun at the time of the dis charge and the steel ramrod went through his head, entering in the corner of the right eye between the eye and the nose. It came out at tbe back of the head and extended through about eight inches. Mrs. Oliverson heard the report and was the first one on the scene. She pulled the rod out and carried the un fortunate boy into the house. Dr. Gra ham was called and dressed the wound. He says if there is no change for the worse inside of forty-eight hours the chances for recovery are good. The rod passed through above the op tic nerve and penetrated the upper por tion of the brain, and strange to say Kay is in full possession of all his faculties, and in case of recovery will retain the sight of his lefteye, but inflammation will doubtless destroy that of the right eye. Uis hearing is remarkably acute and he hears distintly the slightest noise in the room. He is not Buffering much pain as yet, and talks about the accident as brave as a soldier. If he recovers it will be among the most remarkable cases on record. OSBON'S SECOND TRUL. The Slayer of Charts. Hambl., of Holtoo, Oa Trial AgiiinatLawrtoOff. Lawrence, Nov. 26.

It Can Now Be Applied to Many Caefni Things by Conning Architects. One of the lightest substances is cork, which is also the worst conductor of heat and sound; it will not absorb water when moderately compressed. Possess ing such valuable properties, cork should find a wider range of utility than stoppers for vessels containing liquids which do not attack organic substances. Cork is the bark of an oak tree which grows on the coasts of Northern Africa and Southern Europe. After being deprived of its hard, non elastic and useless elements, the bark is cut into square piece3 and turned in the lathe to any desired form. The waste cork, or turnings, is considered more than 20 per cent of the whole, so that the problem is the utilization of this waste. Thousands of bricks and ti'es have been made in France of pul verized cork, and proved entirely satis factory. Two kinds of strengthening cements, which can be molded into any shape, have been in use. The first con tains powder or small pieces of cork, plaster of paris, dextrine and sesqui oxide of iron. The second contains, in addition, oxchjoride of zinc, which makes the composition practically water proof. Like cork, these cements are non-conductorsof heat and sound; they carbonize without giving any flame when exposed to a high tempera ture, do not decay and absorb very lit tle water. Bricks made from the cement began only to crack under a pressure of 190 pounds per square inch, so that they should prove a valuable building material. Among the applications the cement could be used to keep cold or heat in a room, pipe or other receptacle. A cork concrete floor completely dead ens sound, as in a library or for par titions between offices. Where trouble some vibration occurs, as near run ning machinery, cork composition may be used with advantage. As to elas ticity, the walls of a powder factory were constructed of the material, later an explosion occurred, the cork par titions (after greatly slackening the vibrations), tumbled to pieces, reduc ing the damage and loss of life to a minimum. As to lightness, as in high building construction, cork brick is superior to porous brick, having a spe cific gravity of only .38, against .70 of brick. As a water proof material it is adapted to cellars, basements, bath rooms, etc. Cork brick is nearly fire proof, giving off smoke, but no flame. HE MISSED THE FIRE. The Child Could Not Understand Why lie Did Not Awaken. About the coffin in which rested the body of the fireman sat a silent group of mourners. No one had spoken and the widow was resting her head on her father's shoulder, when the door opened. A little child, the 4-year-old daugh ter of the dead man, ran cheerily in. She had on her flowing white night dress. She climbed a chair and looked at her father lying pallid and still. "What's the matter with papa?" she cried. "Sh-h-h!" they said, softly. "He is asleep, darling. "Why does he lie in that ugly old box?" "He can sleep better there, little one. Don't disturb him. Now go back to bed, like a good little girl." The child moved away slowly. "Good-night, papa," she said, in a low voice, and soon was tucked away again. The silence of the night was suddenly startled by the harsh clangor of the gong in the fire house Just a few doors away as it sounded the alarm. The thrilling call was ringing the second time when the fireman's daugh ter flew into the room again. Again she climbe l upon the chair, and shook her father's body by the shoulder. "Wake up, quick, papa!" she said. "There's a fire," Still he did not move or open his eyes. The strange looks of those about the bier frightened her. "Oh, papa, do wake up. Can't you hear the bell? You'll miss the fire." The baby looked around in wonder. Then she tried her parting shot, which she was -ure would bring her father quickly his feet. "You'll miss the fire," she exclaimed. "Then you'll be fined." Even then he did not move. Puzzled and worried, the child turned around. "Papa will not go to the fire to night," said her mother, in a tear strained voice. Then the widowed mother burst into tears. Repeating that she couldn't un derstand, the child was quietly carried back to bed, to cry herself asleep again.

Quails Offered for Sale in Viola tion of the Law. Pittsbcro, Nov. 2& When Peter Maher returned home he was tendered an ovation and banquet by his many ad miring friends. The train bearing the man who gave O'Donnell the knock-oat drops was over an hour late, and the tables at the Hotel Thornton in the diamond had lots of time to groan under the weight, etc. Two chilled crowds hung about the Union depot and the diamond, anxiously await ing the champion. He came at last, and the band played on. Carriages were in line, and in the frontons iaher and his companion in arms, Jim Hall, took seats. With them wero John Quinn and Michael Connelly, Maher's backers. The banquet hail was decorated with chrysanthemums, palms, flags, red, white and blue and green, and the Latin mot toes, "Finis Coronat Opus," "Erin Go Bragh," and "Faugh a Ballagh."Maher'a picture, framed in posies, and over it "Welcome Our Champion," had a prom inent place in the decorations. Mr. Quinn introduced Stephen Hor nett as toastmaster, and the honor set as lightly on him as the hair on the top of his head. "I have the honor," he said, "to introduced to you Peter Maher, the un disputed champion of the world." "Hear, hear!'' roared the banqueters; "Speech, speech!" But Maher simply bowed. He did not know how soon he would have to meet Mr. Fitzsimmons, so he declined to say a word. A SUCCESSFUL HUNT. A Party of Topk Sportsmt-n Return From the Indian Territory. T. J Kellam, W. A.

The party traveled in Santa Fe special car No. 212 and went over the Rock Isl and to Chickasha, L T., from which point they traveled oveiland. Mr. Thompson said that while he was out one day quail shooting he came upon a deer which was not more than twenty yards from him, but as he had only No. t shot in his gaa he did- not shoot at it. He said the party could have bagged a number of deer, bat they were after quails exclusively and were not equip ped for larger game. Quails, he says, are in great abundance in the territory, and the party enjoyed a most successful hunt. THE VALKYRIE FOR SALE. Will Probably Be nought and Raced Aealnat the Defender. New York, Nov. 26, Yachting men were interested today in a report from Boston that Lord Dunraven has decided to sell Valkyrie 111. The news is con tained in the following dispatch from A. G. McVey, a Boston expert: "Since matters have turned ont as they have regarding the Defender and the Valkyrie, and as the Defender people, in all probability, will never start their boat in a race against the Valkyrie under her present management, the statement is made eemi-officialiy that the Valkyrie is for sale and is now in the market." This shows plainly that Lord Dunraven now does not expect a race next year on this side. THE LAW COVtKS THIS, A Topeka Merchant Displays Ouails for Sale In Front of His Store.

Fred Chisholm, the colored man, who came to Kansas from Warsaw, Ma, with a white woman and who is now in jail at Lawrence, will not be taken back to Mis souri for trial immediately, at least. Governor Morrill this morning decided that he would not honor the requisition made on him by Governor Stone, for the arrest and return of Chisholm on account of the irregularities in the requisition papers. When a delegation of Topeka colored men called on the governor Saturday and interceded in behalf of Chisholm, the governor promised to give them a hearing if an application for a requisi tion was presented to him. Sherifl Laird of Benton connty, Mis souri, arrived in Topeka last evening with a requisition for Chisholm and la&i night at his rooms at the Copeland Gov ernor Morrill gave the sheriff and the Topeka colored men a hearing. Yesterday Judge Benson in the dis trict court at Lawrence had released from jail on a writ of habeas corpus the woman who had come to Kansas from Missouri with Chisholm, and she came to Topeka last evening and was present at the hearing. She represented to Governor Morrill that she was not brought to Kansas by force, but came of her own free wilL A telegram was shown the governor stating that a mob of four hundred men had been organized at Warsaw to lynch Chisholm when the sheriff would arrive there with him. The hearing was continued until this morning when at the executive office Assistrnt Attorney General A. A. Godard appeared for the state and he showed the governor that the requisition papers were irregular because there wa3 no cer tificate attached to show that the man who issued the warrant was a justice of the peace and that of itself is a fatal er ror. Private Secretary Bristow says Kan sas requisitions have frequently been returned from Missouri and Iowa for that cause. Chisholm is still in jail at Lawrence but an effort is being made to get him out on a writ of habeas corpus. DUN ON A POSTAL CAKU. C, W. Hartman Arrested for This. "Kan rooed" By Connty Prisoners. C. W. Hartman, an aged man who is at present a United States prisoner at the county jail, was "kangarooed" by the colored jail birds in the lower corridor Sunday morning when he was placed in jail by a deputy United States marshal. He was beaten across the back with a rubber hose and in struggling to get away was injured so that be is again a sufferer from hernia, of which he had been cured. Hartman was arrested for sending a dun on a postal card. When he was pnt in with the colored men they asked him if he had money. He didn't understand them, and he said he had plenty of it. When he didn't give them anything to buy to bacco with they tried, convicted and punished him. Hartman was placed in an upper cell by himself immediately afterward by Jailer Burdge, who hap pened to come in. Hi3 bond is placed at $5J0, which he expects to raise soon. These "kangaroo" outrages are a dis grace to any jail and they onght to be stopped. EXPLOSION AT PAL3IA. The Capital of Majorca Shaken By an Explosion and Many Killed. Barcelona, Nov. 26.

There was a large quantity of powder that has been taken out of cartridges lying about over a large area, and this was ignit9d by the discharge. A tremendous explosion fol lowed which shattered the masonry of town walls which were very thick, and did much damage to buildings. Thirty seven women and fourteen men were in stantly killed.

Also "Wants Reciprocity Clause of Wilson BilL The Kicaraguan Canal Hawaii Discussed. and Omaha, Nov. 28. At the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress this morning, R. W. Richardson of Omaha introduced a declaration diametrically opposed to the free silver resolution previously offered by Gov. Prince. It was; "The Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress at its eighth annual session re spectfully represents to the congress of tne United States: "Recognizing the wisdom of the great commercial nations ot the world in de claring that the gold snpply is all suf ficient and requisitely staple for the measure and standard of value, we de mand the maintenance of the present gold standard as a basis of our circulation, until such time as the leading commercial nations of the world shall, in the course of natural events, or by international agreement, or otherwise, unite on a ratir. We desire the largest use of silver in the coinage cansislent with the recognized standard of value. "We deny the statements and declara tions of free silver advocates that the law of 1873, dropping silver from the coinage, was surreptitious legislation; that such legislation influences the price of wheat or any other commodity; that it is responsible for the present fiuancial depression or the thousand iils so prolific in the imag ination of the average free silver enthus iast. We are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by tills government independent of international agreement, because we believe the result of such action would mean silver monometallism, thus dropping our nation from her class with the leading commercial nations of the world." A resolution by M, V. W. Hullman of Missouri, called on congress to re-enact the reciprocity clause of the McKinley bill, which was nullified by the Gorman bill. The Nicaraguan canal question was discussed by Hugh Craig of San Fran cisco, who represents the chamber of commerce of that city. Capt. W. L. Merry, who was to speak on this matter was unable to be present. The remainder of the morning was devoted to addresses on freight rates and discrimination "by James V. Ma honey of Sioux City and Captain Lon Brysonof Davenport, la. This evening's programme is not en tirely decided on, farther than that Mr. Craig will deliver an address on "Hawaii."

I, find, how ever, that it will be necessary for you to employ an engineer to furnish the pre liminary plans." "But the statute does not provide that he shall be a resident engineer," replied Mr. Campbell, "and we might select your company if we chose." "Yes, that is true," replied Mr. Keep ers, "and I understand that you have two applicants for the position of super intendent. I have nothing to say about the employment of either of the gentle men, and will only tell you what it will be necessary for you to do in order to get the plans. "You may either pay our company for the plans, including the royalty, in which case they will be the property of the county and filed here to be examined by the contractors who bid, or you may re quire that the contractor furnish the plans, in which case the successful bid aer would have to purchase the plans from us. This last may be open to the objection that the Melan company hav ing complete control of the plans, could underbid other contractors, though I will not say that this is true." "The other plan will make the bidding free to every one?" Inquired Mr. Rod ger. "Yes, if. the county purchases the plans it would mako the bidding abso lutely pen. Any reliable contractor can build the bridge. Everything rests with the superintendeut, who must see that the work is done welL Of course we will include in the cost of the plans, if you purchase them of n3 a man who shall have general supervision of the work; he might be called a consulting engineer and it may not be necessary for him to be here all the time," The commissioners took no action this forenoon but Mr. Keepers will again ap pear before the board this afternoon. Col. Tweeddale and Mr. Hinckley, who want to be appointed superintendent by the commissioners were present, but neither said anything. Marlboroucns at Gibraltar. Gibraltar, Nov. 26.

Wheat Prostration of telegraph wires between commercial centers resulted in a very unsatisfactory condiiion of affairs in the wheat pit today. Communication with the seaboard was entirely cut off, so that foreign advices were not re ceived Traders therefor were left to their own devices and ;as a consequence but little active trading was indulged in. The opening was fractionally lower than the close yesterday.

Giving its readers theCrst and latest Associated Press and state news of the day. The price of wheat continues to de cline. There must have been a dreadful "overproduction" of wheat this year. If Overmyer rum for governor it will probably be on the Independent Free Silver Resubmission ticket. It received more votes this year than Mr. Overmyer did last year. Is suggesting the probability of the lection of "Lion Hearted Dave" to the office of governor, Mrs. Lease has doubt loss won the everlasting devotion of Col. Tomlinson. Ignatius Dossellt is again coming into prominence as the author of a Echeme for effecting a fusion betweeu the Populists and the free tilver ele ments of the old parties. Mrs. Lease is reported as predicting that David Overmyer will be elected gov ernor next year. On the theory that one good turn deserves another, Governor Morrill and his friends may feel con strained to support him. In every issue of his paper J. L. Bris tow bewails the fact that Bank Commis sioner Breidenthal has not been arrested for embezzlement. Mr. Bristow is sec retary of the Republican state central committee and Mr. Breidenthal who is chairman of the Populist state central committee, suggests that Mr. Eristow ought to remember that all the machin ery of the courts is in the hands of the Republican party. The sound currency committee of the Reform ciub has issued another tract. This is Vol. II, No. 23, On the front r-age of the pamphlet is found the fol lowing paragraph: The free coiners claim free comncn nf both gold and silver wiil cause us to re tain both as our primarv money. I ask you will the owner of 2a 1-5' grains of gold take it to the United States mint to De coined into a dollar, when 23 1-5 grains ot gold will buy about 800 grains of silver in the markets of the world? W ill he not refuse to take it there, when his 23 1-5 grains of gold will buy one grain more man a. 14 grains of silver in the markets of the world? That is ail there is to the question. The answer to this is in the asking of another question: Would anybody in the '"markets of the world" possessing 371M grains of silver take any less than 3 1-6 grains of gold for it when they could bring it to the United States mints and have it Btamped into a dollar whose purchasing power would be equivalent to the 3 1-5 grains of gold? If this is "all there is to the question," and we are willing to concede that it is, the settle ment is not difficult MEET THE ISSUE. In his famous tariff message, delivered to congress in 1887, Mr. Cleveland pre sented to the Republican party an issue which it accepted promptly, with the re sult of winning a decided victory the fol lowing year and placing in the presiden tial chair Benjamin Harrison. History seeim about to repeat itself, in pact at least. The same Cleveland will undoubtedly again present an issue to the Republican party iu bis forthcoming message to congress. He will recom mend the retirement of the greenbacks, and the firm establishment of the nation's finances upon a gold basis. If the Republicans in congress meet the subject in the same spirit as they did the tariff message, and if the party, in national convention, take the same bold and unequivocal stand against his recom mendations that it did in 18S3, victory is assured. But in order to win and hold the confidence of the people there musj be no dodging, no compromise. It will not be sufficient to merely oppose the re tirement of the greenbacks, but the party to insnre the support of the masses must also oppose the riveting of the gold standard upon the country, and make the sarns bold, aggressive fight for the restor ation of bimetallism that it did for the maintenance of protection to American industries. However Republican leaders and Re publican politicians may desire to evade the issue or postpone it, such a course will be rendered impossible by the tone of the president's message, if forecasts of what it is to contain are correct. The party through its representatives in con gress will be forced to meet the issue squarely in advance of the national con vention. Any mistake or weakuess on the part of the majority cannot be recti fied or erased by the national conven tion. A record of cowardice or com promise made in the approaching session of cemgress will be too fresh in the minds of the people next, year for the party to escape its consequences. The issue must be met and met squarely and the plat form for next year must be made by the majc-:ty in congress and made right or the imiiiuns of voters in all parties who oppose European and Wall street aomi naiion iu the monetary affairs of the na tion will find a way of making their pro test felt. The country has just been treated to an example of the people throwing off party fetters and voting against the po litical organization with which they have always acled previously, and voting with a party which promised them nothing better. Why did they do this? It was a protest against the course of the Demo -ocratic loaders. Republicans Bhould profit by the lesson and not invite a sim ilar rettuke by adopting a course which is anything else than one of vigorous re sistance to the Cleveland financial pol icy. Party leaders cannot get along without the people for long. It has been custo mary in the past to deceive and mislead them. This is becoming harder to do every year. The wiley secretary of the treasury failed to do it even in the rock- ribbed Democratic state of Kentucky. How much mora hopeless would such a task prove in the northern and western states. The money question will not down. It cannot be sidetracked or evaded It must be met and Republicans in con gress may as well begin the battle this winter. If all the special telegrams sent to the Chicago ana iNew lorn papers are like those sent from Topeka those pa pers must be a huge cyclopedia of lies. A slender thread of truth is used to hang a fanciful fabrication on. Depend on it. all those queer stories you read in the metropolitan papers, telegraphed from various parts of the country, are not true The Jocenai. could "fill its pages and even its supplement pages with clip pings from Kansas exchanges calling the Capital bad names. How would a few excerpts from the Troy Chief do for instance? The Capital never can get over its Pharasaical "better than thou" idea, even though 5,300 Journals are taken in Topeka to 8,000 Capitals, both papers being the same price. The proof of the pudding is in the subscription list Why don't the county commissioners proceed with the erection of the bridge so the injunction suits can be filed? It will probably take some months to get these suits out of the way and if they would begin at once, the bridge might be built next summer. That was the course pursued by the projectors of the dam. They just did enough work to get the injunction machine started so that if there ever comes a time when they want to build a dam they can probably pro ceed without, interruption. The charming little trio, the Lawrence Journal, Abilene Reflector and Emporia Republican, much pleaBed that the State Joubsal took editorial notice of them, come back like the many headed reptile of ancient story, all hissing and spitting venom, because of a much need ed lecture this paper admin istered to them some days ago. We enjoy their anger. The Journal doesn't object to their criticisms of its political course. We recognize the fact that we appear peculiar to the ignorant; all that we ob ject to is the sour flings which do not in jure the Journal but only make the aforesaid Reflector, Journal and Repub lican appear ridicnious and biloua It is for their own good that we lecture them. Now, goodbye again, and do riot rend any more linen than is absolutely necessary, you poor, dear, mad little things. Broken edge collars repaired by Peer less Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 W. 8th. HURTS OUR SHIPPERS. Th.9 Way in Which Demurrage is Charged BY THE RAILROAD COMPANIES. Mr. Thomas Page Express! Bis Opinion Xot Opposed to m Demur rage Kate but to Itm Careless En forcement. A large number of Topeka merchants including millers, elevator m9k "d lum ber dealers are interested in m- out come of the demurrage ca3e which is now before the state board of railroad commissioners from Olathe, The Topeka merchants have had trouble for years with the Missouri and Kansas Car Service association on the question of demurrage, and they will be glad if the state board of railroad com missioners can give them relief. Mr. Thomas Page, of the Mid-Continent mill, said to a State Jocknal re porter: "1 believe the theory of demur rage is all right, but It is an injustice to have an unalterable rule which is the same with the large as with the small shipper. "The demurrage charge is $1 for every twenty-four hours after the first twenty -four hours the car is on the track for loading and unloading. I believe that is all right. "The trouble is just here. In placing our orders for wheat we distribute our orders in such a manner that if the car3 we order are billed out La we direct they will arrive a few days apart, giving us time to unload the first find get them out of the way before the others arrive. Now if our cars would arrive as we order them we would have no complaint, but that is not so. If we order a dozen cars shipped, and shipped three a day almost invariably the whole order will come in on the same day and likely on the same train. Now we can't hire enough extra help to unload all of those cars within the allotted time, but the present superintendent of car service holds us up to the letter of the law and charges us demurrage on every car that is not unloaded within the gven time, L have been hold up for demurrage many times because I did not have the car swept out The load was out but the car had not been swept. "There are many small shippers who would hold cars an unreasonable length of time if there were not a demurrage rule, and I admit that the system is all right; but it is not right to punish a large shipper for something for which the rail roads are responsible." SHOT A BLACK BEAK. Killed ia the Woods Knst of trie City Stear the River. Lineman Anderson of the City Street Railway company shot, a black bear yes terday. It was killed in the woods north east of the city and was broucht in last night. When dressed the animal weighed 150 pounds. This is a story to tell to the confiding New Englanders who think we still bant buffalo in Kansas. There is no blood curdling tale to re late about the killing. One shot from a rifle did the work and a moment after the bear was quite dead. Lineman Anderson was not alone when he bagged the big game. Super intendent Patten, of the City Railway company, was also there, as well aB a drayman. Before the fatal shot was fired the man who fired it was very Bure that the bear could not reach him if he happened to miss and his nerves were as steady as when he handles a live trolley wire. After the animal was bled it was loaded into the wagon and brought to the city, where he was turned over to Butcher Charles ilayer, who strangely enough had bargained for the carcass before the party left the city. It may as well be said that the bear which was the victim or the expedition was that which has been confined in the little pit at Oakland, and the man who shot it stood upon tne wan above the am mal and put a bullet through his brain. The death of the bear clears away the last vestige of the OaKland menagerie, and there will be absolutely no induce ments for any one to go there next sum mer. Earlv in the fall the four monkeys which always attracted a crowd about their cage were sold and taken away Then a few days ago some kindly dis posed person opened the coyote's cage and it was allowed to go its wav. The badger, raccoon, fox and other animaU which had been U3ed to add to the attractions at Oakland park have dis appeared one by one and now the park which rose on tne boom bubble In lo peka is practically desolate. The big auditorium fitting semblance in wood of a huge bubble still stands there tenantless, and unless moved into town and used for public meetings is likely to soon tan into ruin.

Keir Hardie, the socialist ex-member of parliament, in his farewell address said that during his trip to the west he found a great deal of dis satisfaction. He asked the farmers aud cowboys what thay were going to do about it and they pointed at their Win chesters and replied: Bullets, if ballots fail." Mr. Hardie dwelt with particular emphasis on the statement that Amen cans enjoyed less personal liberty than Englishmen. He gave a rap to the "toadies," as he called the men who hon ored the Duke of Marlborough and said the spirit of socialism was growing all over the country. He declared that the present war talk in Europe was a mere ruse to divert attention from socialism's strides and an effort to get socialists to shoot each other.

DISCERNING BOGUES. They Break Into a Box Car and Steal Only Ralston Health Flour. Topeka has been infected with a gang of bold thieves lately that have proved most adroit and skillful. A few evenings since a case occurred that merits almost special attention. A freight car on the Luton Paciuc, in North Topeka, containing a mixed load of flour and meal was broken into by some hungry rogues. Among the con tents were six sacks of Ralston Health flour. This alone was taken from among ail the flour and meal piled around in tempting array. The police have not yet arrested them, and Mr. Hackney of the Topeka Milling company, who manufactures this flour, says they deserve their freedom for show iug such splendid judgment.

The boy is still convalescing from an attack of scarlet fever, and the quarantine has not been raised. The general said he was going to Saratoga quarantine or not. Col. L M. Potter, Republican national committeeman from Rhode Island, was in town today. He gave the inference that New England was not yet solid for Reed, although he said he thought the delegations from the five states would probably be for Mr. Reed when the bal loting commenced.

The beautiful and artistic birdaeye maple finish forms a fitting complement to rich furnishings, and both lend them selves readily to festal occasions. Yes terday Judge Johnson's daughters enter tained at luncheon complimentary to Miss Minnie Peck of Chicago. In the pretty reception room a pretty palm sat on a small table and sprays of bittersweet and smilax were festooned about the chandelier. In the parlor American Beauty roses, Miss Johnson's favorite flower, were the tlural decorations. In the dining room many colored chrysanthemums were usrfd. On the large table were red chrysan themums as a centerpiece, and each of the tables had the same artistic flower as center pieces and favors. On the sideboard were bittersweet and smilax. The luncheon was served in courses. Miss Peck wore a dresden figured blue taffeta waist with puffings of chiffon down the front and an accordion pleat ing at the neck trimmed with Valen ciennes; skirt of black crepon. J anes jonnson, waist ot wnlte taneta, black skirt. Miss Madge Johnson, pink and green silk waist, skirt of black.

Mrs. H. E. Ball Talks on Art. The members of the Atlantean and Chaldean clubs enjoyed a delightful treat yesterday at the home of Miss Hattie Mills. They met each other by invitation of Miss Mills to listen to Mrs. H. E. Ball talk on '-Italian Art as I Saw It." In spite of the inclement weather about fifty ladies were present and very much enjoyed Mrs. Ball's talk, which was il lustrated by numerous handsome copies vf famous old world paintings gathered a Jacket, Cape,Suit or Our Cloak Dept. Extends you an invitation to be with us tomorrow. The ra pidity with which sales of gar ments are made and the contin ued buying of fresh goods keeps this stock everlastingly at the point of completion and full of interest to the seekers of Cloaks. Only yesterday there came an other lot of elegant Jackets for ladies in the new rough materi als (Boucle), also Cloth and Boucle Capes trimmed with jet, braid or Thibet fur and some very attractive garments for lit tle folk. Our prices are absolutely THE LOWEST, we wouldn't have it otherwise. A QUAR TER OF AN HOUR in our Cloak Stock is as good as a DAY'S SHOPPING, by Mrs. Ball during her trip last sum mer. The study of the Chaldeans has been Italian history and literature and for that reason the subject was more particu larly interesting to them. In the rooms chrysanthemums were used with greens for decorations, and in the dining room where refreshments were served the afternoon's idea was prettily carried out by the table decora tion, which was a centerpiece of flowers shaped like a gondola, which was re flected from the surface of a mirror. It is hoped that Mrs. Ball will be oer- suaded to give her interesting talk for the benefit ot even a larger audience than heard her yesterday. Monday Tiljjht IV hint Club. The Monday Night Whist club, which had the date and hostess for its last meeting changed several times, met last evening with Miss Rosamond Horton.

Gonrdatn, tile New Orleans Lottery Man, Must Reside in Our Lock-up. L. A. Gourdain, the New Orleans lot tery magnate, was resentenced this morn ing by Judge Foster. He was found guilty of using the mails for lottery pur- noses, and the court ot appeals refused to grant a new trial. One startling thing made bv Gourdain in his defense was that he was being per secuted by the old Louisana lottery. Gourdain was given the same sentence he received before, sixty days in jail and a fine of $500. He ha3 plenty of money, and when he appealed his case last year put up $1,500 in casn as security. He will probably be the best dressed man who ever entered the Shawnee coun ty jail. He wears patent leather shoes and is dressed in the latest style. Y. W. C. A. MEETING.

On account of sickness oishop Vincent was not able to be present and his place was tinea by sisnop w. JNinde. Among other things Bishop Ninde said: "I can remember back sixty years ago of hearing that famous woman, Mrs. Addie Kelly Forbes, speak at an aboli tion meeting. People, were surprised then, to see a woman go upon the plat form and speak. They thought she was transcending her sphere. Today woman is on the platform and how parliamentary she is. "I believe in letting woman do the kind of work to which she is inclined. I will trust her womanly instinct," Dean Harry I. Bodwell of Grace Cathe dral Mr. J. B, Larimer and Miss Emma Burgess were the other speakers. Th crfiat affair of the Aftaann will Via the masque carnival tomorrow night. FOOT BALL.

SOME EXPECT TEODBLE BETWEEN The Two Oavrrnment Over Thi Matter, bnt Very .Likely It Will All Be Fixed Upby the StateOepnrtment If you are a newspaper reader, -which, of course, you are, else yon would not be reading this, you have been puzzled over and over again by the almost daily allusions to the dispute about the bound ary between Alaska and Canada, and it is quite possible that you have formed an opinion as to the right and wrong of the matter, perhaps without really knowing much about it. It is the opin ion of the present writer that But this article is to be informing merely and not inflammatory and Will deal with facts and not preferences. In a way the differences between the queen's colonists and Uncle Sam's men are a legacy from the Russians, since the. treaty between Russia and the British defining the eastern boundary of Rus sian America was accepted by the Unit ed States when Alaska was purchased from the Russians in 1867. No trouble arose until a few years ago, when parties of American and Canadian engineers were sent to locate the line. The British interpretation of the treaty differs from MAP SHOWIXQ DISPUTED TERRITORY. the American interpretation hence all tho talk. Briefly, the provisions of the treaty, so far as the present contention goes, are as follows From the fifty-sixth parallel of lati tude (north) "the line of demarcation shall follow the summit of the moun tains situated parallel to the coast as far as the point of intersection of the one hundred and forty-first degree of west longitude," but "whenever the summit of the mountains shall prove to be at a distance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean,'' the boundary line now in dispute "shall be formed by a line parallel to the winding of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues therefrom. This seems simple enough, but in this case, as in so many others, appearances are deceptive. In the first place, there is no mountain range "parallel with the coast," and so the three league line must be laid out. The question then hinges on what is "the coast." There are two English and Canadian interpre tations. One is that the boundary line should be construed to extend parallel with the outer shore of the islands strung along the mainland, and the oth er that the line shall be run parallel with "the general coast line of the capes and points of land at the main land. The American contention is that the line shall bo uniformly 30 miles back from the main coast line. If the first of the English contentions shall be adopt ed, there are places where the Alaska boundary line will not touch the main land at all. If either be accepted, much territory that has heretofore been con sidered belonging to the United States will be Canadian territory, but the ac ceptance of the American contention will leave the line about as it now fig ures on the school maps. From an agricultural point of view the territory in question does not amount to much, but gold mines, diversely de scribed as not of much account and of surpassing richness, have been, found there within the past few years hence the claims put forth by some Canadians and some Americans that the "other fel lows" are trying to "hog on" to what they ought not to be allowed to have. Some there are who expect trouble be tween the two governments over this matter, while others hold that it will be settled peacefully in due time. Some there are on both sides who consider the territory in dispute to be well worth fighting for, if need be, while others say the more territory either government possesses in that part of the world the worse off it is. At all events there is little likelihood of a war about it until after both American and Canadian en gineering corps have reported ou the whole business and the state depart ments of the two governments have had a chance at it. Those Alaskans and others who most strongly resent the present claims of the Canadians say these claims never would have been put forward had not the gold deposits mentioned been found. Cana dians, on the other hand, declare the present claims to have been put forward long before the goldfields were discov ered. It is worthy of note that if the dispute be settled in favor of the Cana dians they will have the seaport of Juneau, the largest town in Alaska, which commands the entrance to the goldfields. Juneau is located on the mainland, 150 miles to the northwest of Sitka, the capital of the territory, and is the starting point of all mining and prospecting parties bound tor the inte rior. Miners go over the divide from Juneau as early in the spring as possi ble, usually in April or March. This en ables them to materially reduce the dis tance over which they must pack their plunder, there being plenty of snow fos sliding, at that tiiaA ?M mm f The largest Piece of dB TOBACCO EVER SOLD FOR KEEPING IT GOING. The Advocate, Leading Populist Paper in Topeka, BOOMS THE FALL FESTIVAL. Nearly All the Papers In the City Have Slow Taken Up the Prejeet. The Semi-Weekly Advocate of No vember 22 says editorially: The idea recently suggested of hold ing a carnival in Topeka next fall is meeting with favor everywhere. To peka is distinctly a Kansas town. What ever it nas attainea can tie traced to no other source than the Sunflower state. It has all the opportunities and conveniences to entertain the entire state. Every year thousands of Kansas people go to Kansas City and spend thousands of dollars attending the Priests of Pallas and the Karnival Krewe festivities. There seems to be no good reason why Topeka should not have a fall entertainment which would afford Kansas people a chance to spend their money at home. The only reason why the city has not had its share of visitors in the past is that no effort has been made to get them. The effort should and will now be made. Business men are taking hold of the matter and will contribute liberally, both means and work, to make the carnival a success. An effort will be made to bring enough bands to the city to furnish plenty of music. The G. A. R. posts will do all in their power to bring the state reunion here and a good pro gramme will be arranged. The people will do the rest. They will not fail to come if a good honest effort is put forth to make the entertainment a meritorius one. The result will be beneficial to both entertainers and the entertained. Topeka business men will be brought closer to out-of-town custom ers who should do more business in this city and state and less in outside cities and states. Hundreds of people who have never been in Topeka will come and feel like coming again. A carnival and the state reunion here next Septem ber is just the thing, and everybody should do everything possible to make of that event one long to be remembered by everybody in the state.

He runs a small barber shop next to the 1 ark hurst Davis Mercantile company on North Kansas avenue. "Get into that chair and get shaved," said Cook last night as he pointed a rusty pistol at a shop loafer. Business was glacK and no reason was clear to his addled brain why he shouldn't liven things up a little. At the jail he called upon every officer by name to let him go. "I'm an old soldier, an' I fit in the war' he cried until sleep stilled his voice. He will fight both charges, drunk and carrying concealed weapons. Special Train to Haneas City.

His Color Did Not Prevent Hli Enter tainment if He Came from Topeka. Henry Dillard, who haB been attached to the United states court in the posi tion of bailiff for many years,, often acts as a deputy marshal and Berves papers. Henry is a very light colored mulatto. but be often nnds that bis color stands in the way of his comfort during his travels over the state.

Topeka Daily State Journal Again Breaks AH Records. By its sworn detailed Btatement of circulation for the first half of the year 1895, it is shown to have a circulation, during the six months as stated, of a Average 9334 This is the greatest show ing the State Journal ha3 ever been able to make for a period of any six months in its history. This is a giater figure than was reached by any daily paper in Topeka for the year 1894. The Ameri can Newspaper Directory, issued in June, 1895, and covering the year 1894, gives the average daily circula tion of the Topeka Daily Capital for the year 1894, a3 only 8,744. These figures were furnished by the pub lishers of the Capital, to the Directory, and are guaran teed to be correct by a for feit of $100, which will be paid to any one disproving their correctness. The following figures, sub Btantiated by sworn state ments in detail, giving every issue for the first six months in 1893, 1894 and 1895, shows the Topeka State Jousnal's Wonderful Growth.

The State Journal's local circulation is far and away ahead of the combined cir culation of all the other Topeka dailies.
