"Daniel Mar ntt;t, I 'rated States consul General to J -d i aura-, in a report to the state de partment says that it has been under stood for several months past that the present clip of Australia wool would show a substantial decrease compared with the previous one owing to drought and to the fact that the strike last year invulvinc a thirteen month's clip i.-ft only a eleven month's clip in many pi tees tiiis year.

In the Pocket was a Eottle Con taiuinir a Note. JCODY IS IDENTIFIED As That of N". Johnson, IVholIad Committed Suicide. Had Two Daughters, Who Are Teachers of Music. Floating in tire river a mile and a half below Oakland the dead body of X. Johnson of 1112 East Fourth street, was found this inorninir by a colored man named Albert Bryan. Bryan w ith a young brother went to the river this morning" to fish and hunt ducks. They had been there but a short time and had taken one shot at wild fowl when Rryan saw what he thouaht was a lojr lloatins in the chan nel of the river towards his boat. The river rose last nipht and is filled with floating ioa-3 and foam. The ob ject which came gliding- toward the lioat was nearly submerged in the wat er, and nuthirpsr was visible except the rounding- surface of what was appar ently, a black water soaked piece of timber. The object was in the channel near the bank and came directly past the colored fisherman. When it came alone: side lie was horrified to see the white face of a man slowly sinkinp and risin.c at one end of the black object. He immediately threw out his boat hook anal drew the body alone,- side the boat and made it fast with a piece of clothesline. He rowed rapidly to the bank, chained tlie boat with its dead burden clone- side anil started to town. otr reachinir town I try an notified Cor oner Westt rtield. and the coroner with Rryan, rnd-rtakers L. M. I'enwellaud E. 1,-Moss, and a State Journal reporter, drove to the place where tlie 1" .d y lay in tlie river. Tlie dealer lay upon its back with the left hand folded upon tlie breast. I As soon as it was pulled up tile stoop j bank the body was seen to be that of an oM man. tie laid almost periectiy It he hair and short beard. He was a man of about five feet eic-ht or nine inches in heiurht.The body w as tit-essol in a black cutaw ay coat, and jeans trousers wdiich wore torn be low the knees. Stout laced black shoes were upon the fe -t. and the shirt was neaalia-e. one of blue or I. lack, and a little black bow tie was worn. About tie- neck of the body wore several snips of willow bark, and as it after ward proved, thes. must have been fas ten .1 to a rock or weight, though that had torn loose. "He-re we have it." exclaimed Mr. I)o Moss as he unbuttoned the coat and pulled a two ounce bottle from the riaiit hand inside coat pocket with a paper in it. The bottle was tightly corked and the pocket wais pinned tog-other to prevent its falling- out. Not a drop of water hail entered the flask, and when it was broken on a stotae a perfectly dry piece of paper torn from a little- pocket memorandum book was unfolded. It had writing- on one side. It was poorly scribbled with a. Fad pencil and was diliicult to de ed pile r. It was written In broken English. It was as follows: "'I do this myself. My daughters tried to poison me two times. After they rob me of all my money, and then drove me out. I have more to tell you, but it is too big. Please copy this. N. JOHXSOX." A small purse was taken from the trousers pocket. It contained a key and a piece of water soaked paper with a. .?a gold piece in it. The body was put into the tindertaker's wagon and brought to the city. Tlie body arrived at the unelertakcr's rooms at 1 tile. Messrs DeMoss IVn weil had known an old man named Johnson who lived at 212 East Fourth street, running a small street stand. His wife and three daughters lived there with him. Tile door was opened by one of the drowned rutin's daughters, when a re P' u ter went there. "Hoes Mr. Johnson live here?" was asked. "Yes. sir." "Is he here?" "No, he is not at home at present" She replied. "Huw long has it been since he has been at home?" was asked. "The last time we saw him was about 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon." "Was he an old man with white hair and beard?" "Yes. sir; he was (19 years old." "He. you know where he is now?" "Why, I think he is in a house a couple of blocks away." Miss Johnson answered all these questions with a smile. She was giving- a guitar lesson to a young lady pu pil when she opened the door. She ap parently did not think from the ques tions asked that anything had hap pened to her father. Why do you ask?" she continued pleasantly, but with an inquiring look. When the young lady learned that a body was found in the river, and that there was a possibility of it being her father the tears sprang to her eyes and she exclaimed "oh. my poor father, my poor father." Mrs. Johnson, who cannot speak English well, came run ning in and grasped tile situation from her weei ing daughter who was ex claiming "Oh, I know it's him. I know it's him." Miss Johnson said there had not been any domestic difficulty when her father left. He had gotten in with a tough crowd because of his having the little stand by the house on Fourth street. "It is drink that has done it" cried the daughter. The family said that they had tried to get him away from his evil asso ciates, but without success. He would become drunk, and sometimes stayed in his little stand while in that condi tion. Johnson had lived in Topeka twelve years. He was a Swede, and had been in America but fourteen years. He had four daughters, one of them married and living at home. The eldest one works in a millinery store at 721 Kan sas avenue, and the younger two teach guitar. They are Intelligent and refin ed looking women. It is said that the greatest domestic discord reigned in Johnson's family. That they all lived there together, but that each furnished for himself. The family, however, denied this, but said they had tried in every way to get the head of the family to give up his stand so as to get him away from his bad companions. "We offered to work f him and support him" they said. Extreme grief was shown by the fam ily at the announcement of the death. Coroner Westerfield and Dr. Hibben made a post mortem examination, and at o'clock an inquest was begun at the undertaking rooms. A. P. A. ANSAVE1J EI. W. W.

Mr. Lanning says: "X was a candi date because of certain political com plications and recognized at the time that the reappointment of B. W. Buck master was .right. The complications have worked out to my satisfaction. The statement sent out from Bostem was made without cemsultation with me." WILL UiSK A SHOT.

A CAREFUL CANT ASS 7Jade by tlie New York Tribune Completed, And It Sliows MeKinley Far in the Lead. Xew York, April IS. The Tribune de votes an entire page to special dis patches from every point in Pennsyl vania, going to prove that the great manufacturing state is solid forMcKin ley and not for Quay. The Tribune says: Pennsylvania favors McKinley. The overwhelming majority of the Repub licans of the state are for his nomina tion at St. Louis. This is said as the result of an elab orate canvass which The Tribune has made of the entire state. Weeks have been spent in the work. It has been carefully conducted, and with absolute fairness to all the candidates. The expressions of opinion that have been obtained from representative men in every section. Manufacturers, bankers, farmers, merchants, ma chinists railroad officials. politicians, of fice holders, laborers, lawyers, clerks, and in brief, men identified with al most every branch of industry and pro fessional labor have given their pref erences. In every city the state lists were secured, addressed a 1 his hist and s and important town of of the leading citizens To each of these was tter of incmiry as to 'cond choice for presi dential candidates. rIhe replies are given herewith: they speak for them selves. It is only necessary to recapit ulate brief lv the returns. McKinley l-;ids easily. Of the "ZZ Republicans who have made public ex pression of their views, no fewer than declare him to be their first choice that is to say. he has a triile over 00 per cent of the entire state as represent ed by the interviews given below. In addition to this, he is the second choice of 17 s tit hers. Senator (Juay. who poses as Penn sylvania's 'favorite son." is 193 behind Mr. McKinley for first choice, and 121 behind him in the matter of second choice. Mr. (.may has PIT supporters for first choice, and with 7 others he is second choice. It must he said that a large part of Senator Quay's adher ents are devotedly attached to him, but with a considerable portion sup port of him is. as some of them ex press it. "a matter of state pride." Speaker Bed is third in strength. With 11 Pennsyl vanians he is first in favor, hut he leads the list as second choice, no fewer than 2:1S votes being recorded in his favor CD more than are for McKinley. President Harrison is fourth. He is the first choice with 52, and second choice with eS. Next in order is Senator Allison, who is first choice of 24 and the second choice of T(9. Giivernor Morton is the first choice of 12 and the second choice of 11. Ex-Secretary Lincoln is the first choice of four and the second choice of six. Senator Cameron is the first choice of four ami the second choice of none. The name with. in most cases, the business and firm of every man who appears in this test vote, is given. Tlie vote in each instance is over the voter's signature, so that every reader has tlie satisfaction of knowing that he is examining an expression of Penn sylvania Republican sentiment of the most trustworthy character. The orig inal signatures of those whose names appear are on file at this office. The object of this canvass was not to boom any candidate, but simply to state facts as represented. The les son. hewever. that is taught by these re'turns is too obvious to require pointing out. The following table shows the vote in detail: Candidates. 1st. 2nd.

Now Likely That the Once-a-Week Project Will Ee Dropped. The work of arranging the new- San ta Fe time card, for which purpose the division superintendents of the entire system are in the city, is practically- at a standstill awaiting instructions frrm President Riplev. It ie reported that a change- will be made in the plans first decided upon at the meeting in Chicago. It now appears that the plan of run ning the limited trains 3 and 4 one each week has been ccmsidered. and it is possible that the limited trains will be abandoned altogether, it being a rpies tion with the eastern officials whether the once a week train service would prove profitable. It is probable that if limited train service once a week is established it will be an exclusive Pullman train, the chair car being dropped. There has also been some trouble in the arrangement of time with the A. P. and Colorado Midland roads, and the superintendents will be compelled to await the settlement of these ques tions before the card can be completed. D. W. Whitehead Dead. Salina. Kan.. April IS. D.

INSANIT1 EPIDEMIC. Two Hore Cases Reported Today One of Them is Violent. "I'll wipe out the whole ranch." This was the expression of Henry Kester, accompanied by oaths, at his home on Reno street in Oakland yes terday morning as he sharpened his big butcher knife which he has ground down to a point and calls "the toad sticker." He said this to his wife and she, with her three children, tied from the house. Kester is a man of 35 years. He was foimerly a butcher and had sharp butcher knives, cleaver:', and a razor hid in the house. L'ntil three weeks ago he worked in the brass foundry at the Santa Fe shops, where the brass it is said, poisoned his blood, and he is insane. He was so declared this morn ing in the probate court. Mrs. W. H. Stuart, wife of W. H. Stuart, an employe of the auditor of disbursements office of the Santa Fe, residing at 1227 Monroe street, became violently insane aliout lo o'clock last night and continued to grow worse un til 2 o'clock this morning when she was removed to the city jail. Mrs. Stewart has taken a great inter est in spiritualism for the past several months, and her insanity is along this line. Since the death of her mother a week ago her derangement has mani fested itself in the form of melan cholia, becoming violent for the first time last night. She told her husband that spirit forms had revealed to her the fact that he had been married be fore, and that his first wife's children would receive the life insurance money on his death, and wished him to con sent to a second marriage. It was on this subject that she became frenzied and unmanageable last night. From 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock tlvs morn ing she remained in the office of the police station with Mrs. Thorpe, and was then removed to a room in the county- jail. She protested against the removal, and it was necessary for the officers to carry her up the steps of the jail. A hearing was held before Probate Judge Wood this afternoon and the de mented woman will be sent to the asy lum as her husband says he is afraid to remain in the house with her. She has two children, a son and daughter. 3I0NEV FOR OYERMYER. Allowed $2,733 for Services in the Black Bob Case. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington. April IS.

His violence in denouncing Catholics and other opponents is what led to the riot at the church Thursday evening. SMOOTH ROLLED AYALKS Will Be Laid in the State House Grounds Instead of Asphalt. The executive council has changed the construction of the walks and drives for the state house grounds. It was for merly agreed that they should be built of asphalt but no-w stone, concrete and gravel will lie tiseel. The Telford plan for foundations will be used. Underlayers of flag stone covered with concrete will be first put down. being thoroughly rolled and beat en down, then gravel and cinders will be put on this foundation. This kind of walks and drives is considered more durable and much cheaper than as phalt. The area of the drives and walks to be put down is 112,500 spuare feet.

He said that tie1 surplus for 1S95-HG was i: 1,210, (mo .and he estimated the expenditures for the current year at 10".047.0"a. The chancellor said this had been a wonderful year and one of unexampled revenue in spite of the fact that the cx pemditures had bee-n the largest since the great war. The surplus was the largest ever kn'iwn and a larger sum was devoted to the reduction of the national debt than ever known. Referring to the estimates for the current year the chancellor said tlie ex penditures "were placed at ,100,047,1.1, ami the revenue ealeulatee upon was 101,755,000. Touching upon the pro posed reduction in expenses, he said the government proposed to reduee the maximum land tax from 4 shillings en the; pound tet 1 shilling, which would absorb 100,000 of the surplus, allot 975,000 to reducing the rating of faint lands, devote 433,000 for the education bill and 200,000 to a slight alb-ration of the death duties. This, he continued would leave a modest surplus for con tingencies. CO-OPERATION IN GLASS. Window Glass Workers Talk of Build ing Factories of Their Own. Pittsburg.April 1 S.

TOPEKA STATE JOUHXAL, SATURDAY EVEXIXG, APRIL, 18, 1S9G. IlU I.IIUHulLlO Hassing for an Attack on Eulu- Trayo The Rebellion is Growing Day by Day. IIASSACRE IS FEARED. Treachery Expected From the Town Natives. Garrison of 800 to Stand Off 8,000 Native-. Cape Town-, April Is. The situation about liuhiwayo has grown more alarming- and the rebellion is so wide spread that a large force of troops will be necessary to restore order. Urgent requests for troops have been made by the people not directly inter ested ia the Kritish Chartered South Africa company, and the home gov ernment is blamed for postponing' the dispatch of st: ong reinforcements in South Africa. Information coining' from the coun try around makes it certain that the Datives are preparing an offensive movement ag-ainst this place. The number of Matabeles reported gathering- at points near by is sufficient to appai the hearts of even experienced lighters. There is dread in the minds jf many that the place is in danger of being' overivhelnied by a rush of hordes of Matabeles and the inhabit ants put to a wholesale massacre. The fear of treachery is added to the apprehension of overwhelming numbers Many indications point to a connivance with the war parties of supposed friendly natives. There are many of the latter in the town itself and no white man feels sure how far he can trut his dusky associates or servants. It is stated that f L'lly 15.000 Mata beles have been massed fcr the attach on linluwayo. which, although placed in a fair state of defense, could not hold out ag-ainst the headlong, rushing- charge of the native regiments, which, if they only number half of 10. 000, might sweep over the town, even if thousands were slain in the onslaught. The Glacials of the Chartered Com pany say they have.no fear that lluiu-whj-o will be captured, but it is the over-confidence of the Kritish, the habit of grossly underrating; the strength of an enemy, which lias led to many historical disasters to the i-ritish army. There is no denying that the Matabeles have been steadily gathering1 together for weeks past with the intention apparently of attacking- Buiuwayo. The recapture of King- Lobentruia's old capital from the Kritish won id be a fearful blow to the "paramount power in South Africa.' This is frankly admitted, yet the available force of volunteers, etc., at Kuluwayo i.s believed to be not much above sou men. Machine puns have, it is true, been hurried to the front from the iiritish tiug-ship St. George; the market place nas been converted into a strong laager, the oid police camp outside the town and other points have been fortified, but it -would take many men and many ob structions to withstand over lQ.tK'O fearless .Matabeles. especially if it is true they are being- "aided and abetted" by iloer command and led by old King- Lobengula or his son. GIGANTIC BICYCLE TRUST. Tne Aim Is to Control the Price of Every Wheel Pat on the Market. Toledo, Ohio. April H.

G. Dun Co. s weekly reviesv of trade savs: The sudden change from sleighing to raid-summer heat, with fair skies in most cities, has tested the prevalent idea that g-ood weather only was needed to bring- general improvement to business. .Everywhere there has been more retail buying-, and in some branches better demand at wholesale and at the works has resulted, but not in most lines. There is no abatement of the almost universal disposition to deal with unusual conservatism and not to anticipate future wants, and this has been especially conspicuous where combinations have been formed or prices advanced. The comparative infreuuency of serious failures, with money less disturbed since g-oid ex ports began than might have been expected, heips to give encourage ment, but does not kindle speculative tires; that such improvement as ap pears is mainly of a heaUny sort. Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston in April thus far have been eight per cent less than last year, though larger than in previous years. Textile works are less fortunate. The silk association states that forty per cent of tiie machinery and hands in the country are idle, partly because of increasing Japanese competition. Several more woolen mills have shut down, and some have reduced wag-es ten per cent, while many are working only half time. Wheat rose five cents last week, met some reaction, but is a shade higher than a week ag-o. Failures for the past week have been i!23 in the United States, against 241 last year, and thirty-six in Canada, against thirty-four last year. Hank Clearings. Sf.w York, April IS.

GOLD CONTRACTS INVALID The Question liaised and Rated on ia a Nebraska Court. Omaha, Neb. April Is. The ques tion of the legality of what are known as "g-old coin contracts," was raised for the first time in this county yesterday. It came up in an action to collect payment of a SJ.t'OO mortgage note, on which a de fault in interest had occurred. At torney for the defense raised the point in the District court as to the effect of inserting in a note or contract the words ':to pay in gold coin," or the words, "to pay in gold coin or its equivalent,"' and argued that in either form the note wouIlI be illegal, being in violation of the legal tender law and contrary to public policy. It was further argued by the defense that if not voiding and invalidating the note entirely, the section requiring- pay ment in g-old was void. During the argument the court said it would not enforce that part of the note contracting1 to pay in sroid; that if it came to a question of holding1 that the note was payable in g-oid or the contract was illegal or void, the court would hold that it was illegal and void.

The late Charles Carleton Coffin, tha author who first won fame as a war correspondent, was once asked the secret of his etyle, his graphic descrip tions having given his letters from the front their great attractiveness. He answered that he had no other method other than to write his story naturally, as if he were talking, and then to go over his copy and strike out every word not necessary to the sense. "Carleton's" plan embodied a principle of which many advertisers have since availed thems-'ves. To be natural is to be sin cere; to be concise is to be vigorous and these are cardinal virtues in the economics of publicity. Philadelphia Record. Reverence. Reverence Is the key that unlocks the mysteries of the world. Only In reverence can we work with any sin- i cerlty and earnestness. There is a tend ency to lay aside reverence as a thins not to be cultivated. Our government, our hopes of free institutions, are based on reverence for man. If we would save this government and hand it down with all the liberties connected with it, we must learn first of all to reverence our fellow men, and we get our first lesson at home by learrdng to reverence ourself.

BE WDEOP'S ST011Y. Did it ever occur to you that a drop of dew could have a story to tell or a strange experience to relate? Listen, and, small as I am, I will tell you a story which I know to be true. About ten years atro I first visited this beautiful meadow. What! Did you know that I am as old as that? Ob, dear, yes, and a great deal older 1 Bat let me tell yon iny story. I wakened one beautiful morning to CulI myself swinging in a hammock formed by a fresh blade of grass which grew on the batik of this same little stream. The sun was just peeping over the hills, and the morning was cool and delightful. The breeze swung my hammock gt ntly, and I lay half dreaming I was still in cloud land when 1 heard the voices of children just beiow me on the bank. I wakened at once and listened, for the children and I are always friends, and I never tell their secrets except to other children like you. "Ami Wiiiie," a little girl's voice was saying, "he sent his picture with the let ter, and he looks just splendid." "And ho is coming tomorrow, you said," came in a boy's voice and in a dis consolate tone quite in contrast to tha eager speech of his companion. I peeped ever the edge of my grass leaf and discovered a girl and a boy of perhaps 10 and 12 yt-urs, just seating themselves on the grass a short distance down the stream. Tiie girl's hair aud eyes were dark, and the latter shone with pleasure at the news she was imparting. The bey was lighter, and there .was a troubled look about his hazel eyes a look which I thought the girl saw and rather enjoyed. Vcs. Cousin Harry is coming tomorrow and will probably stay and go to school hero next torin. "But, Bessie, you will let mo carry your books for you sometimes after lie comes? I can'tquite bear to give that up. His look was tender as well, so I peeped over just to see, when I leaned too far, lost my bal ance and rolled off the end of my grass blade into the stream below. The water swallowed me up and hurried me on, and much as I wished to hear Bes sie's answer I felt sure that I never, never shouid. I soon forgot my tlisappointment, how ever, in my enjoyment of the wild frolic I was having over the stones with the many companion drop3 which made up tho stream. Many days we danced on over tha pebbles and by the grassy banks were tho wiid flowers grew ami bent to kiss us r.3 we passed. Other liule streams joined us from time to timo anil when wo linally reached a large city the stream had becomo so many times larger than when I tumbled in that people spoke of us as a river. To such dignity had wo attained. On aud on we went until wo came to the beautiful wide ocean, and then in its great deprhs our rivnr was swallowed up as I had been in tho little stream. At first I was afraid! Funny, wasn't it, that I should be afraid of the ocean whim it was just made up of little drops liko myself? But there seemed such a great crowd of them that I could not realize that I was just as important as any other drop, and so for awhile I kept feeling scared and wondering what was going to happen to me. One d-vy I found myself right down at the bottom of the ocean, and 1 wish I could tell you all tho wonderful things I saw there. I can't begin to, but it was much more interesting than anything I had over seen upon the land. There were tho most beautiful shells and pieces of coral and sponges. And there were li-hesof all kinds find some of them looked pretty ugly, I tell you. It makes me tremble yet to think of them but .some of them were as beautiful ns any flower that grows up hero on the earth. Well, after a long time I reached tho top of the ocean again r.nd as I lay there toss ing, tossing in tho light breeze ami look ing up at the glorious sun. 1 suddenly had tho strangest feeling as though I was light as air and I seemed to bo going up, up, up. You may imagine I wondei-cd what was happening to me then, for though I had had some queer experiences I couldn't remom her eve r fociin like t hat before. As soon os I became composed enough to look j abound I Liiscovered to 1113 amazement that I was far above tho ocean and Uoating about mi a cloud in fact, that 1 was pars of a cloud. It was delightful as soon as I became used to it. At times we floated idly about, enjoying tho scenery below us and the warm sun shine above. At other times a sharp breeze would strike us, ami we would. sciul along like the wind itself. Some of these rides were very exciting. We could see be low us tho great trees bending, sometimes breaking in tho storm, and the rain drenching everything as it fell. After some time spent in this delightful clo'd life we were suddenly chilled one night by a cold wind which seemed to almost freeze us. At the same timo I felt myself lie ginning to fall. Down and down I went, when, behold! I found myself alighting in this very meadow, almost on the spot where X had swung in my h;immoek so many years ago. To completo my sur prise, I heard a voice down by the bank of tiie stream s.ying, "And, Bessie, I have thought of you all the-o 3-ears, and it is the thought of you that, has brought me back.'' j "Oh, Will!" was all the answoj I heard. Once more I peepi'd over "just to sec." Yes; surely t hey were the same, only grown to young men and woman hood. j "And may I take you witfi mo when I j go ba k again?" Will asked, aud his voico hud t he same wistf ill tone I rememberoil so well. And Bessie, very sweet and very j rosy, answered, "Yes." 1 And then ho slipped on her finger a beau'ii'ui pearl ring, and I do believe it t was the very s:ime pearl that I saw at tho j bottom of the ocean and wished so much to possess, but really this was better than to have it f.e- myself. I watched them as they wandered down tho stream. Then they turned as they came nearer, and I heard Bessie ask, "Do you remember Cousin Harry, Will?"' "I think I do." lie answered, and I laughed to myself at the tone in which he said it. "We had a letter from him yesterday, and he is coming to visit us. It is ten years since lie was iiere. and" a bright j little blush "and he will be here for our 1 wedding- And wasn't it queer that after all those years I should have heard Bessie's answer? --Julia D.

Having In reznombranea the old atripujn Stamp of Key West, the dis coverer of the sea gardens at Nassau, we took a pilot and sailboat th.e follow ing morning and sailed some four miles up the cisannel, says Forest and Stream. There we embarked in a row boat with a glass bottom, made fey insert ing theien plate of thick glass, through which the bottom of the e spread out before ns like 5ry land. A strane-e feeling crept ove.r me and in Imagination I fancied myself wits Jules Verne on the voyage of "Twenty Thou sand Leagues Under th Se." We could see all the little fishes, minnows one Inch long and larger kind one foot, two feet and three fest in length, some white and black and bice, bealda many angelfish, ail yellow like a canary, with bright blue fins atid tall. nm beneath as. Like the Tiu 'ht fisidk in summer eway to the breeze so there in the submarine currents waved ersat bunches of fan-leaf coral, purple, yel low and white. The water was claar as air, ?.nd, pointing to gome epeeia!ly beautiful specimens of rock and fam, our little darky dove over, and, like the fish, we could see hiui swimming down until at last, clutrihiEg the growth with two hands and feet (if tidy braced against the coral, be gare a tug and away he came to the top. fan in hau. Indeed, God hath wrought marvelous things in this world of His. but nothing of greater bewitching fancy than the eea gardens of Nassau. When night came and before the moon was up a drive of two miles back on Now Providence island brought us to a most interesting work of nature. A lake some 1.000 feet long: and 300 feet wide lay quiet and black as any other sheet of water at night might do. But once in a rowboat and shoved off from shore what a mighty change was wrought! Two small out-swimmers, the hue of the surrounding darkness, accompanied our boat of fire, for such it seemed. Like two human torches our darkies swam by our side as In a rloud of phosphorescent fire. At the slightest disturbance the whole sur rounding water lit up like molten sil ver. Each boy's toes and fingers were es though the sun shone on them, and fish darted through the quiet water like sky-rockets, leaving a glittering trail behind. The light was so vivid I could see the time by my watch, and when a wave was sent upward with the oar the falling drops were like blue tinted pearls. The movements cf our boat made enough light to plainly show tfce bottom, for the water is from the ocean and as clear as ail that which nature makes to flow about those lovely Bahamas. Enticed by the water's warmth and the hot night, my friend and I went in swimming, but only for a few minutes.. From this swim comes a story hard to believe, but as true as gospel. That night, as was my custom before turning in, I went to tfce bath room, which I could oasily darken, to change some photo plates in my hold ers. When about to pull the slides I noticed the phosphorescence, which I had brought from the lake, shining from my bare feet and giving so much white light I had to cover then: wi'h a towel before I dared expose the plates to what a moment beforo had been la tense darkness. President IIaye and the Karmen, President Haye3 had for one of his Ohio neighbors a testy old fellow who kppt a small truck farm. During Mr. Kayes' four years in the white house, on one of his visits home, he passed this oid man's farm and found him planting potator-e. The president, being some what of a tarmer himself, noticed some Fccentricity in his neighbor's style of planting, and after a little chat called attention to it. The old man defendsd his method and finally Mr. Hayes said as he started along: "Well, I don't think you will get the best kind of a crop if you plant in that manner." The farmer rested his elbows on the fence. "They ain't neither one of us above havin' fault found with us," he said, "but if you jest go on presidentin' the L'nited States your way and I go on plantin' pertaters my way I guess we won't bo no wuss off In the end."

That there are people In the world who haven't yet learned that there arj safer places for depositing large 3uras of money than old stockings and holes in the wall was demonstrated recently whiie the roof of a Fall River house was burning. The department veas called out and a squad of officers in command of Lieut. Hinckley was on tha scene.

She was in formed that there was no great dangc-.-and iu reply to a question said that her furniture was insured for $700, but she kept at work just the same and finally pulled out a roll of bills con taining $1,700.

It is like trying to feed a humming bird on meat to try to satisfy the soul on early pleasures or with riches.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER. Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange, 528 Kansas Avenue. Chicago, April IS. WHEAT It looks as though the turning point has come and that wheat lias commenced its journey toward 55e. After Pard ridge's big short lines had been covered the market was left in a toppy condition and any pressure causes quick breaks. Whether conditieins are perfect, ex ports light and north western receipts running heavy and gradually increas ing. There is very little or no short in terest and any display of strength will be the signal for heavy short selling. The only bull argument will be good seaboard clearances soon as naviga tion opens up, but it must be remem bered that this v- heat has been accum ulating ever since navigation closed and are not fresh engagements. We advise selling short on any good bulge and believe such sales will show quick profits from now on, unless crop conditions should change materially for the worse.

The reaction in prices yesterday need not cause any uneasiness among hold ers of long stocks. It was the natural result of trading by a few room trad ers and has no special significance. The ligitimate situation has not changed any, in fact it might truthful ly be said that it has, improved con sielorably since- yesterday morning. The reaction was just hat a. good many people have been waiting for. Prices advanced a little toej rapidly to permit of very libera purchases and a number of persons who were anxious to get in tiie market had to offer a reaction. That stocks is a purchase on soft spois is admitted by all well informed people. The time js coming when the market will break away from the small crowd 'if profe-ssionals that are trying tobloek its progress ami the wise man will pre pare for the boom by taking on a sup ply of good stock and holding them. The buying of bonds by London and the constant iriereasig imjuiry at home for first class securities for investment are features that cannot be ignored ami they are sure to counteract the ef fect of profit taking. The- future looks bright. In all direc tions there are signs of activity among investors. Some of the idle money is finding its way to Wall street where there are at the present time so many bai gains. In another couple of months the pes simist will have disappeared from the scene. His passing will be hailed with pleasure by everybody. He is a menace tat everything pro gressive and a chronic disturber. When the time com. s for the final turn in the tide no clique can check the mar ket's course. It wiil be well to bear this fact in mind. In regard to the probable immediate course of individual stocks nothing can be added 10 what has been previously said. Every stock has its friends who are trying to make it attractive by persis tently reminding the public of its chief points. Conservative houses do not hesitate to advise purchases of St. Paul, L.

HAY GET MORE TIOXEY For the Apxropriation for Irri gation. Senator Peffer's $1 Congres sional Record. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington, April 18. The nomina tion of T. Fitzhugh to be postmaster at Kansas City, Kansas, is at piresent held up in the senate. All the other ap pointments made at the same time have been confirmed but there has been so much dissatisfaction in Kansas City with this appointment that the Kansas senators have had it held up. It is said that Fitzhugh is a Demo crat of no prominence at all and in no way entitled to the place. He is a meat tagger in. Armour's packing estab lishment. It was understood by the most prominent Democrats in Kansas City that Mr. Boling who was one of the late postmaster's bondsmen, was to have the appointment so as to enable him in some measure to recoup his loss. The local Democrats are therefore, much put out by the appointment of Fitzhug h. MORE FOE, IRRIGATION May Be Added to Chester I. Long's Item in the Senate. From Our Special Correspondent.

If not it will not affect the $33,000 al ready secured and so it will have done ro harm to try. The senate never cuts down appropriations.

Secretary Carlisle has not been heard from for some time on the decadence of the "free silver craze." What is the matter with Kansas that Tillman and Coxey should both invade the state at the same time? Nothing- more absurd has occurred bo far in the campaign, than Carlisle's addressing- an audience of Chicago working-men. The position of a politician on any public question cannot always be judged by his past record. Davii B. liili once voted for the free coinage of silver. Dave Hill recommends a fusion be tween the Republicans and Democrats against the Populists. It Is the only way the Hill Democracy can get into the procession this year. Chief of Police Burt of Wichita would be of no use in Topeka, When Topeka policemen toil a jointist to close up he moves out at once. True, he hasn't much in the way of furniture to move.

No joints run in Topeka any great lenarth of time, bear that in mind. If there is anything the editor of the Eagle is fond of of course it's a joint. The peo ple who run joints are such enjoyable associates aren't they, colonel? "We're glad you like 'em.

They have a mission to perform, but while they are attacking- evils that are inimical to the growth of patriotism why don't they set a hot foot on the Ickelheim- ers, the Lazards and other foreigners in Wall sireet who are plundering the Ameriean people ritrht and left under the protection of the American finer. Eet the A. P. A., the Patriotic Sons of America, the Junior Order of American M-ehanios and all kindred bodies llout the Ickeiheimers in the face with the American Hag-, and drive the for eign sold sramblers out of their dens. This is a work that all true Americans, rv-y ai d less of relig ion, could cheer them on in doingr. AH hail to patriotic act ion, but let it be applied where it will do the most g-ood. Of course Topeka is generally "hated" by the people- of Kansas according to two or three sipuirtgun editors, but it is noticeable that conventions and state meetings continue to come here at the rate of one nearly every day, and next m,,nth they will pour in two abreast. The Knights of Pythias will be here 2.0'hi strong next month and they will be glad they came. The big gest crowds generally come from the towns where the editors are always abusing Topeka notably Emporia, Atchison and Lawrence. The churches of the country are evinc ing a degree of enterprise which en titles them to success. One pastor has provided a man to stay at the door and check and care for the bicycles of wheelmen who attend the morning service. A Baptist church at Kala mazoo will inaugurate a scheme of fur nishing a free Sunday dinner to all who care to avail themselves of it. as an inducement to them to remain for Sunday school. The next move will probably be the sending of carriages to the homes of the sinners for the pur pose of carrying them to the place of worship. Perhaps the most successful way of inducing a large attendance of the feminine portion of the community would be to furnish its members with new bonnets. The first intimation of Speak-HSReed's position on the money question to reach the public comes through the Re publican convention of his own state, which declares that he is opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver except by international agreement. This is equivalent to saying that lie is utterly against silver and in favor of the single gold standard. This declara tion will doubtless strengthen Mr. Reed in the east and will put western Re publicans on their guard. The landing of European paupers by the thousand at New York will lie al lowed to proceed at least another year because Mr. Reed's congress dares not enact any legislation to exclude them: not knowing what effect such action might have on elections this year. The welfare of the American people is ever made secondary to politics. Restric tion of pauper immigration is sorely in need cf legislative action and Republi can party platforms have demanded it. Senator Hill's speech against Peffer's bond investigation resolution shows him to be a pettifogger. He says charges should be preferred. He doesn't seem to reccognize the grand jury principle. The object of the investiga tion is to find out something on which charges can be based. Senator Peffer, like everybody else knows there was crookedness about the transactions, but it was so well covered up, that he is unable to find it. unaided. The delay in trying the case of En derson, the supposed diamond thief, shows how persistently the officers and the lawyers can hang onto a man who is known to have money with w-hich to pay costs and fees. It is safe to pre dict that Endei-son will not have much money left when he leaves the city. We suppose lawyers and officials are privileged to rob scamps, however. Senator Dubois of Idaho has gone to join Teller and announces that he will support a free silver Democrat for the presidency on a free silver platform rather than a gold bug Republican cm a gold standard platform. He names Boies of Iowa as the man for whura he would like to vote. CMLOB'S BULL GOSSEP. Ileal Stars of the Diamond That Have Never Shone. COW DAD CLARKE DICA"E EOTX. A Feasible Farming System Suggested Advantages That Could Be De rived From a Baseball "Acad emy" The Excellent Rec ord of W. F. Xreig. Without opportunity genius and talent are lost to the world. This is particularly true when applied to baseball players. Had Thomas Gray lived 150 years later, his im mortal 'Elegy" might have been shaped somewhat differently. For instance, he would probably have said: Some village Rusie that with lightning shot The sturdy batsmen of the Dreadnaughta licked, Scxae mute, inglorious Anson here may rot, toojee Tebeau who had never bragged or kicked. The appia'jew of craey rooters to command, The threats of fined by umpires to despiso, To striko out sixteen balterts ripht off hand And next year in their sal'ries get a rise. Their lot forbade, nor handicapped alone Their pitching greatness, but where battinjj thrives For"baeie terrain their muscles like a stono And play the pame of their immortal lives. I am reminded of this prophecy of the British bird by the experience of Pitcher j Clarke, -vfmo made fiueti a success last your with tha New i'orks and who this spring gives proniisa of outdoing his record of 1S3. In 193 Clarke pitched for the Erie club, which won tha championship of the East era leagua. Somebody recommended fciin t V; V 5 i w. F. KT'.FIO. Champion batsman of l.it year's Western as sociati' ,ii. J to the New Yorks and ho was engaged. That, is where his career received a check. John Ward had charge of tf'.o (Hants in 1604 find lie looked upon Clarke as a sort of dernier re'soft as it were The club needed another good pitcher, hut Clarko was not considered a possibility. Tho manager experimented with German and Westervelt, thereby losing game after game. Occasionally Clarke was sent out to finish a game already lost when one of the other pitchers had been knocked out. of the box, just to give an excuse for pay ing him a salary. In Iowa the club experimented onre more with German, Knauss and Boswell and kept on losing games. Clarke was left behind on the flrt western trip. Then Meekin and Husie were injured at the same time. The club was offering fabu lous sums for a pitcher, while all the time it had a star on the bench. Finally in Fheer desperation Clarke was put in to pitch. The result was a surprise to every body but Clarke himself, who knew what he could do if given an opportunity. Re fore the year was half over ho was classed with Young. Nichols. Rusie and Hasviey. But had it not been f, ,r overwhelming acci dents to New York's pitchers he might, still be collecting mos on the bench. Great ma; r as Ward was, he had a ''gem of pure.-!; ray serene' hiddeu among a lot of cour.teri'eits. Auw), too, the. greatest, of ail. on, o had Clarke in his tenm, b;;t woui In't give him a competent trial, and finally turned loose t his. man for whom lie would now give $5,C'W. I have several times referred to simi'ar experi ences by Keeler, Jenoines, Davis. Burkett and others who made such narrow escapes from reaching greatness. Very fo'V nev candidates spring into fa voritism at a bound. Most of them have to work their way up, and without the right kind of opportunity th y have no chance to reach the top. Under the old system a young player who joined a National league team had to show class A abilities at tho jump, or he was sure to fall back into the minor ranks again. The short preliminary season is not sufficient to show what they can do, because few of tha old pitchers let out, their arms in practice games, and the new candidates' battiug abilities have no fair test. Then when they go up against "the real thing"' when the championship Fflaon opens their work is disappointing. The club becomes uucertain about the new men's capabilities, and rather than take more chances it drops them and goes back to players whose capacity is known. The farm ing system would afford a rem edy for thia disadvantage, for this want of a proper method to develop green timber, but ihura is evidence accumulating that the minor leagues have determined to re fuse further consent to National league "farms" in their circuits. When such an edict is enforced, the major magnates will have to look for a new "farm It may come to that point where sepa rate circuit of "farms" wiii be established in partnership by tho League clubs. For iDStauce, the 12 clubs could easily carry six teams cf youn-jtiters among them. Now it may soou be necessary to organize a six club academical league, such as tho Virginia league or the Atlantic lengue now lias, to be run as a pool by tha Natiorial league. Each National league club could furnish from 6 to 7 players, or, say, 75 ail together. President Young might divide the 75 players into six teams, and a regular championship might be played. Each major league club would retain its claims to its ooiitributed players among whatever ''farm'' teams they should hs scattered. Suh a scheme would nearly, or possibly entirely, pay for the expanse cf developing tho your. stars and would keep the hig clubs constantly supplied with new material. Lost yenr I a sr.;-4 iiat men like Word, Anson or Com is key might make 'b:g'' money by conducting a baseball academy sc-mewhre in tfce southwest every fall, winter and sprin-t. The more I think It tea Lbor convinced I become that tfca scheme is a -good one. Hundreds cf am bitious young players would pay for a threo or four months' coach by men like Anson, Ward or Comiskey. Candidates for college teams work like day laborers in hopes of "making tho team" where- not a cent of recompense is received. Now give Anson the right kind of win ter climate, a suitable ground and four or five teams of baseball students, and I'll warrant that at tha end of that time he would have at least a dozen to whom he could give diplomas. National league clubs could well afford to pay him $1,000 for every star thus turned over to them, and young players who have confidence in their abilities to rise to the top round aro plentiful enough to pay their expenses at a four months' session in Anson's school. Why not try it anyhow? W. V. Kreig carried off the honor last year as champion bats.m:n of the Western association. Thus a veteran, who at ono time played in the major leagues, robs tho new stars of tho laurel crown. Kreig is 31 years old, but by good habits has re tained much of his usefulness of earlier years. He has played professionally since 18?i, when he began with the Peoria club. Since that time he has twice been in tho American association with the Brooklyns in ISsa and with the Washingtons in lSBti. During the last ten years he has confined his services to the Western league and Western association. Anson has met with a novel experience on his practice grounds at Galveston. His team of conscripted players has been wal loping the conceit out of his old Colts with frequent regularity, until he is in a quan dary as to which team ought to represent Chicago in the championship race, and which should bo farmed'' out. Unless Uncle Adrian shifts himself to the junior nine it may be taken for granted that ha will pin his faith to the old band, for Anse will never farm himself out, to a minor league. He has too good an opinion cf Anson as a baseball player. o. P. Catlok. SPORTIMG MISCELLANY.

Some Iay She II.17 Tare the 31 lie In Two 1 1 uu tes. The fastest harness fi'iy in the world, Grace 1, oylan, was born at Lomo Alto farm, near Dallas. Tex., in June, 180 1. Last, November, when but a little more than 17moiohsc;d, she paced an eighth cf a mile in 11 seconds, a 1:50 gait. Aft nilA'.'E BOTI.AV.. erward. at the Texas State fair, she was driven an exhibition eighth on six separate occasions, and on each of them she made tho quarter in 15 seconds or better. At that time she was a regular little raga muffin rough looking and shy. She went into a pace so naturally that she neve" thought of trying any other gait. The sire of tho little wonder is tho greaj ppeed producing son of Electioneer. Eloc trite, and her dam is a daughter of Vindi cator, a son of Dictator. Tho trials which were so phenomenal were all made in publio and under tho most unfavorable circumstances. Tho sulky that she drew was 20 pounds heavier than the better grades of sulkies generally used in race driving, and the harness that she wore was four sizes too large for her. Mr. F.xall, the manager of the Lomo Alto farm, is not disposed to hurry the little ttier and will not let her do any very heavy work until she is 3 years old. She has been entered in a few stake races to be paced this summer, and if she acts well during the spring may bo sent north for a i'nort campaign.

AN SEN AT THE POLE TFhat Happened When the Ftam Solved the Frozen Xortli's Mystery. "Hello!'' said Dr. Nansen, getting of his sealskin sleeping bag. "Is it up?" 'Not for a month yet," replied out sun the trusty Oiaf Frijof, passing his chief a chunk of frozen coffee. "And the alcohol is ail out." "Great Thor!" cried the explorer, pound ing his knuckles on the cabin table to start the circulation. "Haven't I expressly stat ed that the first inau I caught using ar dent spirits would bo sent home?" "I suspect," returned Olaf musingly, "that there are some men in this expedi tion that want to be sent home. When I think of tho roast pork and liverwurst of Christiania, the steaming cabbage, the hot punch" "Silence!" roared the maddened ex plorer. "Are you human? To change the subject, do you realize that with alcohol exhausted i t will become colder than ever?" "Can't," said Olaf gloomily. "The mercury has gone through the bottom of every bulb in The ship." 'Then," said Dr. Nansen determinedly, "the polo must be discovered without fur ther delay. "Aye, aye, sir!" replied Olaf, liko a trained sailor, and, going on dock, he gave the command to the men. Accordingly, at ten bells, Peter Peter sou, who was frozen to the crosstree, sang out, "Pole ahoy "Where away?" cried the doctor. "North-north by north, sir!" "Keep her so! AH hands to explore!" Ia a few minutes the heroic little band reached tlio pole, which was found firmly fixed in the ground. Krik Erikscn, the entomologist, suggested that it was frozen in, and Dr. Nansen made a note of that fact. Careful measurement disclosed that the pole was of the circumference of the doc tor, entomologist, photographer and cook, and its height was long looks. The ma terial appeared to be a cross between pine, poplar and persimmon. "This," scid the doctor, blowing on his fingers, is the coldest I mean the hap piest day 01 my life.

"Thero is nothing," suggested Rurik Rurikson, the historiographer, "10 prevent us saying that we raised a Hag." "True," assented the d (tor cheerfully. "Put her down. then. Come to think of it, there wasn't anything to prevent us saying we found tho polo, wit it.

She was cool, calm and de-i.l"-rate. The defense made a desperate effort to prove that Sergeant Lehane is the ii-an who tr .t the money missing from ii'-.. Fort Jtiley postorlice. but Judge Poster w as wary of allow ing much evi-h-n. e dariiae-inu7 to Serg-ant Lehane to a; lear in the testimony. I.ehane was not on trial, he said.

This was introduced to show that Le hane laid access to Miss Crowthers od'.eial mad, though he had no busi ness to it Mi--s Crowther further testified that I.ehane wrote a letter to her and aft erv ards told her in person that the in spector as coining and that her I". kc showed a shortage and that she had better fix thern up.

Spirits Floated About on Substantial Underpinning of Flesh and Elood, and Legs Said Nothing Startling. There was a spiritual seance at To peka Post hail last night. The moving spirits were Mr. and Mrs. Howland everyone else remained in their seats. Mr. Howiand says his wife is the srreatest medium in the world and he made all sorts of challenges which no one accepted. He said that if she is a fraud she had fooled him. Mr. and Mrs. Howland have been in Topeka five weeks. Their special forte is '"private seances" for which they charge from $1.". to $-a, according- to the enthusiasm of tiie people who hire find their ability to pay. airs. Howland will give all her tests for $2. and almost all of them for S-0 but for $15 she will give only a few. Last night she gave only "a few," os Mr. Howland explained." An admission fee of 10 cents was charged .at the door and about twenty, five people took advantage f.f the op portunity to see "the greatest medium in trie world." Mr. Howland started out with a lec ture to which no one listened. After he had clone he explained that the au dience should not expect too much;that the place for the "tests" was a private seances. "Xo'.v you have not paid any thfnsr for this seance," he explained. "You pail the small sum of 10 cents for th-: use of a chair at th.e lecture ami you have no right to exact anything of us." A committee cf women took Mrs. Howland to an. outer re-mi to prepare her for tiie seance. Tap women dressed her in clothes cf th. ir own to be sure she could eer.coal no white i-lcth about her person and she was led to the cabi net which a committee of men had erected on the platform. Mr. Howland ordered the people on the front row to clasp hands to prevent them making an unsteady attempt to catch the spirits, it is presumed, and then began the chant which always ac companies the demonstrations. In about five minutes tiie audience was startled by a most unearthly voice from the cabinet. It sounded like the voice of John L. Sullivan while on a drunk and it said familiarly: -"Hell,,, boys, hello." Silence reigned in the audience. The voice continued for several min. utt'S and then a white face appeared at tin- aptrture in the cabinet curtains. John Cart-r, who was present sneezed and moved farther to the front. He thought lie recognized the voice. "Leys be jolly, its all right, boys, how are yon getting along leys?" were some of the exclamations that came from the cabi net uuring the seance all in tiie same tone. Then a white figure jtist the size of Mrs. Lowland glided from the cabinet and walk cl around noislessly on th, platform am! took hold of the ghostly garments and held them up. Suddenly the voice in the cabinet chanced to that of a little child and a small figure appeared between the cur tains, v. Idch looked very much like Mis. Howland on Ip-r knees. There was a merry peal of childish laughter as the face was withdrawn. Atain and a grain the whit" figure glided from tiie cabinet and Mr. Howland stood con veniently near so as to intercept any on-- who would attempt to catch the figure, hut 110 one tried. After th-' exhiliition was over John Carter stood up ami asked whose voice it was supposed yj be that came from the cabinet. "I mast decline to answer that ques tion." said .Mr. How-land. "The reason I asked," said Mr. Car. t er, "is that it seemed to be the same voice that I heard when yen were hero four years ago and I know who you said it was then." Mr. Carter said what he did inno cently but to the skeptical it is evident that Mrs. Howland has not assumed a different tone for the use of he;- spirits since sh wes here four years ago. Mr. Howland announced after th.e "seance" that a private one would be given at a Clay street residence to night at which the charge would be 50 cents a chair. FOIt THE CHILD11EX.

Kiddle Writes About Topeka aiit'Coiiveiitioiio. Says the People of Kansas Like to Come Mere, But We Need a Fetter Convention Hall When the Visitors Come They Can't Get In. Ex-Lieut. Governor P.iddle in the last number of his paper, the Minneapolis Messenger, says: There seems to be some doubt in the minds of tiie Topeka people as to tiie reason for so many state conven tions being held of late in other cities than the state capital. Some people say it is because so many conventions are held in Topeka that her citizens are in different and make no effort to secure them, and oilicrs say there is- not u good convention hall in the city. We attend a number of state gttherings. and know something: of the motives which influence the people who make th" selections of plac s to hold their meetings, and we believe that several Influences have caused t'ne c hange. Of these one may be found in the fact that there are so many conven tions held in the capital city, it is im practicable to peine funds for what is called "entertainment." If Tooeha peo ple were ropuired to put til) a fund for tin- purchase of badges and souvenirs and the employm- nt of music, and for providing banouets for the people who attend their several conventions, and grand lodges, as is done in other tow ns it would not tttke long to bankrupt thern. Other towns which enioy those events occasionally can easily afford to "do the nice thine,." Of course Topeka cannot do this for everything that comes in shrbt. For that reason the citizens of Topeka who attend these yearly gatherings find it impossible to make promises of lavish entertain ments snch as is extended by rival to w ns. This, however, is only one considera tion, and we believe the majority of those who attend these gatherings would not be controlled by th.e prom ises of entertainment, if that was the only tiling to be considered. Unfor tunately it is not. There are many of tiie annual gatherings which find it nec essary to look into the subject of ac commodations. So many people attend that it is necessary to fird rooms suited to the meetings. Hutchinson. Wichita and Junction City hive ptovided con vention hails, especially putted to the purposes. Salir.a. Pittsburg. Mcpher son and other towns have large halis where large conventions can find room. Some of the towns where these large halls are located do not have such am ple hotel accommodations as may be found in Topeka, but they succeed in getting the crowds to come all the sa me. Xearly everybody knows that for ease of access. Topeka excels any othei town in the state. It costs less in rail road fare for the average state crowd to reach Topeka than it does to reach any other town in the state. The hotel facilities are more ample. But there is not a decent convention hall in the city and that is what ends the discus sion. Every year the number of con ventions which go to other towns than Topeka increases. It is nut because the people are not liked, for there is not a cleverer lot of people on earth than the Topeka peo ple. It is not that Topeka is lacking in general attractions, because there are more things in Topeka of interest to the average Kansas citizen than can be found in any other town in the state. Xor is it because Topeka cannot raise "entertainment funds," for ail these gatherings; because most of the crowds would rather go to the state capital than anywhere else, if they could. The actual fact is that Topeka does not have a decent place in which to hold these public and semi-public gath ering's. If there was a convention hall in Topeka worthy of the state capital. iSi;.. K T TtA.fr .vis K? imfKcS.' ifK MM S X every state convention of any conse quence would be held there. Tin sUto- cap; tal is the proper place to hold such etings, and they would be held there if Topeka had only the -up-a nd-git" necessary to provide convention hall. SUNDAY AT THE CIIO'CHES.

'Down in Tesim the other rlr.y the financial question was settled iu a few min utes," said a Texas representative to a Star reporter. 'Tt vraj at a meeting of the Republican contireissional convention of my district and the delegates were largely of a dtiiky hue. The colored delegates kuiw that- fh.-re hail hopn some t.Q.lk about the coiimgo of silver and gold at the ratio tf 16 to 1, hut they didn't know what it was all about. Tins majority of them teemed to think t hat it meant 16 mora dollars for every man in the futuro than the re, is 1 now, and they wuro heartily in for the pa?sHp of rts-ulutionii fi-ivoring the free coinage of bilver and gold. It hap pen ud, however, that there was present a well ponied white man, who wanted the resolutions of the conventions to cor respond with the Tcepublican doctrina as expounded by other conventions on the subject, but he ciidn'fc know exactly how to do if. His time came in a few minutes. 'Gemuien oh tie tiinvenshtin,' said one of the colored delegates, 'I'm somewliut disposed tcr favor tie tree ooinnte question.

Jack, who is only 5 years old, cannot yet read for himself, although he antici pates his acquirement of that accomplish ment at an eariy day with such esroruGss that he frequently declares he is going to kill himself if he cannot read when ho is 6. lie is always willing to bo rend to, however, and fairy ti.les. children's books ami stories of all kinds, together with Diblo stories, all find in him a happy lis tener. That he ponders on what Is read to him, maklniz hi-- own childish applications, may l-o iiiLrn 1 from the following incident: He alluded to his younger brother ono day ns "a kid," for which, although it rather amusied mamma, she gently chided him. "But the ISihlrt calls a lit tin boy 'a kid,' anyway," said Jack, anxious to prove liim.-elf in tho riht. "In the story of Samson you read mo last Sunday it says, 'Samson visited hiH wife with a kid.' A reference to Judjres sv, 1, proved that Jack was literally ri;-hf. if net correct in the application.

A story is tola ol a Bright young American and several German officers who, at a dinner one evening, set out to make him uncomfortable by chaffing him about his country, savs the Kan?sa City S'ar. The young man is Albert H. Washburn, the United States con sular agent at Magdeburg. Henry T. Merritt, consul at Chemnitz, was the rame5 ihem ovpr with some delibera- on rPW from his German friend! the declaration that he did not believe thPro w nnother American present who could doit.

ItichR From An Accident. The shop of a Dublin tobacconist was destroyed hy fire. While the owner was gazing into the ruins, he noticed that his neighbors were gathering the enuff. from the canisters. He tested the snuff, and discovered that the fire had largely improved its pungency and r.ioma. He secured another shop, built himself a lot of ovens, subjected the Enuff to a heating process, gave the brand a particular name, and in a few years became rich through an accident. The highest, li-otsi. important ol aii life's duties and labors ruust be per formed strictly in accord with the di vine laws of marriage, known to mun ts revetiled from heaven. The bond that binds man and woman is no lesa than that of an everlasting covenant, Lever to be broken, and the violation of any of the laws upon which it is founded cannot fail to reap the penalty that so great a sin demands.

For the I'rotecl ion of Illustra ted Papers of Value. The Eoards ISay Be of ManiHe and Covered "With Eluslin, Linen, Etc Probably few amateurs will become expert enough at bookbinding to bind magazines, but many illustrated papers can be bound at home and make volumes which, will be an unfailing source of amusement and profit. To readers who may desire to try their hand at home bookbinding o newspaper tinding, as the case may be, the following direc tions from The Country Gentleman are recommended Good heavy m n, paper, or if something better is wanted some kinds of building paper, makes neat and service- CLAMP PAPKKS IN" CLAMP. able covers. The materials for doing this work may he had in any farmer's workshop. For a clamp take two boards some six inches wide and a foot to a foot anil a half long, according to sizo of papers you wish to bind. Through these near each end put a threo-eijjhth fault, three or four inches long, accord ing to thickness of volume. Provido a pood long: awl and some heavy twine, or waxed end, with harness needles for sewing. You will want, gins, or, if you have none, 'lour paste will do. With your manilla for covers and some strips of heavy muslin for backs, you aro ready for business. Place the papers in the clamp and screw down tightly. Then make holes with the awl and sew with thread, not drawing too tight, or the book will not open well. Now round the back and glue ca a piece cf mr.siinwiih head bands at either end, if desired, and leave until perfectly dry. In rounding the hack you may have to vise a heavy hammer, potmdiiig until you get the desired curve. Try to make the edge spread slightly over the clamp, so that a ridge is formed along its edge into which the cover may fit. Make the covers by cutting the sides, cf inanilla paper, slightly larger than the volume, and then glue together with a piece of muslin or cloth large enough to allow for tho back width cf the book, and to lap well over the edges cf the covers. .ow cover tho bad: of the book with glne, pnt on your cover and place in clamp until dry. If you wiah to do your binding iu clo'th, take two pieces of. "binder's braid" or stiff pasteboard cut the size for the cover and a piece of mus lin large enougii to alii iw 1'cr the back of the book, where it is etifJeued with stiff ening paper, and to paste on the edges of the boards and fold over at the ends. When your cover is finished, fasten into the book by the Haps of muslin which are left of the piece which you paste on the back, when it is rounded into shape after sewing. You can cover your boards with anything desired, muslin, silk, INSIDE OF CASK Votl'ViE COMPLETE. lineu or the many kinds of leathers. I the. foregoing does not prove sufficiently plain, t"ar up an old book and see how it is made. You will also find it very convenient to make covers fur filing your papers as re ceived. 31ake your covers as described above. Heavy manilla paper coveted with inusliii makes a neat and flexible file and will last for years. You can fasten the papers by putting a shoe eye let in near the back, through which cords may be put. parsing them thiough holes in the papers as put in. Modes of the Moment. Dress skirts are not quite so full as they were. Jacket waists are popular this season. Fashion has run riot in dress triui miLgs. Canes and jackets aro popular spring wraps. Fine checks promise to be very popu lar, and shot mohairs are especially rec ommended. The new tweeds are rather bright in coloring. Laces are more varied and elegant than ever, with no end of applique de signs on net and chiffon. Children are to wear poke bonnets, and one is occasionally seen on an adult. Long or one piece effects are creeping in more and more, to the delight of tout figures. Under the name of red mgote and princess gowns some very sretty costumes ara evolved. i i 4 LIVELY LADY GOLFEIIS. Che Cox VtIzb GSffir Will Ckuga sa Kxalt injj Contast. The beautiful silver trephy presented to tho Unites States GrVf association by Rob ert. Cox, M. P., for the southern district of F.dinbUFgb, Scotland, to bo held in per petuity as the women's championship em blem, has aroused tho admiration and am bition of all the lady golfers of America, and speculation aa to rosoits in nejtfc sum mer's contest is already rifg. The American champion, Ir. Charles S. Brown of tfie feihinuecock Hills Golf club, won the title last November at ths Meadowbrook Hunt club, where the first tournament was held. Mrs. lirown is an onthusiast on the sub ject of golf and an able authority on the game as well. Khe believes in assiduous practice and rarely tulssos a day's play throughout tho summer. Her chief maxim is "form," and by tiie attention to the de tails of position and motion she has oc- lv-'x-'- 1 1 V (5uiro.1l an exceedingly gr ful stvle Her sc ore I r the lb holes ot the aeadowhrook links was 1S2. This was made, too, after an apparently disastrous beginning, for she took 11 strokes for the first, hole. Mrs. ISrown has played on various other courses with great success. In competing for the Cox trophy, which will remain in the custody of the club of which the winner is a member, the con testants will be governed by new condi tions. Too tournatnent will be hold on the cnurso of the Morris County Golf club, as Mr. Cox, the doner of tho trophy, had ex pressed the wish that the first contest should tako place there. Mr. Cos is an enthusiastic golfer, and during a visit at John M. Chapman's home in Mon'istuwn last summer conceiv ed the idea of presenting a trophy to bo the perpetual insignia of tho women's cham pionship. Tho motives which inspired him were his appreciation cf the beauty of tho course, his enthusiastic regard for tho ability of tho womon who had created such a Una goLiing club and the sentimental interest lie had in tho growth of golf in the United states. SOME RING TALK. Al imith has offered to bet ?500 that Fitzsimnions would not agree to fight Corbetc within six months. Is is reported that "Denver" Ed Smith and his manager, Frank Kelly, haveparted company and that in the future Smith will make his own matches. A.mnnpt the intTCsting features of the sportsmen's show at Madison iSquaro Gar den, Jspw York, was a display of belts, cups, medals and other trophies. Benny Leon wants to meet Danny Laugh, who was fortunate in securing a draw agaiuat him. Leon says that Laugh is a foul fighter aud makes good use of his elbows in a contest. A letter received from Lord Lonsdale by a well kuown American sporting man states that the National importing club is contemplating a lis-tie carnival to take place during Derby week. I5ob Sayrt It Again. 'Tf Corbett will go aud defeat Mahe?I Will have somutoiiig very important to say to him. By doing this I sincerely believe that I am letting him off very leniently. I receive doaens of letters every day from people ;ill over tho country urging me not to light him until ho does something. I have tin) sports with nib, aud I think I'm doing right.

Sam Jones, the famous evangelist, is almost 50 years old now, and he has been preaching for 23 years, but he seems to have lost none of his vigor or originality. He has just been stirring up Atlanta in his own peculiar way, and it seems that he can hurl threats of hell fire and eternal damnation at the sinners with just as much force and in the same picturesque fashion as of old. No matter in how vulgar or coarse words Sam Jones puts his remarks he strikes straight at the conscience. A good example of the way in which he works on his audiences is shown in the following anecdote: The great revivalist was preaching to a big congregation in Pulaski. Tenn. Looking solemnly over the crowd, ho said 'T want all tho women here who have not spoken a harsh word to their husbands for a month past to stand up. Only one old woman responded. He asked her to come forward and told the audience that he wanted to introduce them to the best looking woman in the country. Then he said, "Now I want REV, SAM JONES. all tiie men who have not spoken an un kind word to their wives for a month past to stand up. Twenty-seven big strapping fellows hopped out of their seats with ahicrity. "Come forward and give me your hands, dear boys," said Jones. He gave them each a hearty shake and then ranged them side by side in front of the pulpit. Then turning to his audience he said "I want you all to take a good look at the x!7 biggest liars in the state of Tennessee. Sam Jones has an able lieutenant and a powerful eovrorktr in Rev. George Stuart, who has stood beside him iu the pulpit and shared the work as well as tho honor for six years. Stuart is the very opposite of Jones. He is an emotional speaker, but the language he uses is refined and chaste, lie is a scholarly man and can draw on the whole of literature for his illustra tions and metaphors where his colleague is conlined to the homely and often coarse incidents of everyday life. Stuart is not so widely known as Jones, but where he is he shares with him tho reputation of being one of the most pop ular preachers in America. Rev. George Stuart was born in the mountains of Tennessee almost 40 years ago. He became a religious convert at the age of 13. His parents were poor, and his father died when he was but 13. His struggle to get an education was a hard and a long one. He paid his way through the high school at Murristown, Tenn., by acting as janitor. At 19 he became a Methodist preacher and spent six years preaching in log churches, teaching in log schoolhouses aud study ing in log cabins. At the age of 25 he decided that he ought to have a college education. He wrote to Dr. Sullins, president of the Kmory and Henry college, asking how lie should get it without means. Dr. Sullins told him to eoiue along and bring ten more mountain boys with him. He did so. He was not only graduated with high honors, but he became a professor in the college and married the daughter of the president. A year later he raised money to found a college at Cleveland, Tenn., and put the man who had helped him at the head of it. "While Mr. Stuart was acting as pro fessor at Centenary college, which he had v.; i L Y-1 v.. f TiEV. GEOrtGE STUART. built, he met Sam Jones, who had sent his daughters there to be educated. A strong friendship sprung up between the two men, which ended iu Stuart's being persuaded to help Jones in his evangelistic work. They have been to gether six years. Cl-AREN'CE P.

"It it true," he continues, "that the vot upon amendments is by states, in state conventions or in state legislatures, and that in various other ways the etates are recognized and used in the administration of the national gov ernment. It could hardly have been otherwise. But the construction cf Mr. Calhoun and of the secessionists that our constitution is a mere compact between independent states; that any state may withdraw from the union for any breach of the conditions of the compact, and that each stata is to judge for itself whether the compact has been broken, has no support, either in the history of the adoption of the con stitution or in the text of the instru ment itself. The constitution and laws cf the United States take hold of and deal with each individual, not as a cit izen of this or that state, but as a citi zen of the United States to obey and support its constitution and laws, and no act or ordinance cf any Ptate can absolve us or make it lawful for us to disohey the laws or resist the au thority of the United States. "We owe another allegiance, each to hla own state, to support and obey its con stitution and laws, provided these do not conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States. The question whether an act of congress ia uncon stitutional or whether an act cf any officer of the United States, done of ficially, is unauthorized, must, of course, be decided by the courts of the United States in the last resort by the Supreme Court. A power in a Btai court finally to declare a law of the United States invalid would be destruc tive of national authority, and, indeed, c" the national existence. There can b, in a proper constitutional sens3, no secession and no war between a state and the United States, for no ordinance repudiating the national authority or organizing resistance to it can have any legal sanction, even when passed by a state legislature." Crude Surveying. It is a commonly accepted theory that a man steps three feet and many a tract of land has been "stepped ofi" instead of measured with a chain. In the west they obviate the difficulties of surveys by the land being divided into sections, but in Pennsylvania much of. the property, especially in the moun tains, must still be described by metes and bounds. In one of the counties in western Pennsylvania are two brothers, ono of whom is tall and lank and the other short and fat. Many years i. t they purchased a tract of mountain land calling for a mile square. The-y divided the labor of measuring it, one stepping off one side, the other the otC er side. Then they fenced it in and were perfectly satisfied, until recently, when suit was brought to recover a considerable tract of the land. Eaeh brother swore that he knew the meas urement to be right and told how it had been done. Then, as the spectators saw the short legs of the one, scarcely long enough to reach the floor when he sat in a chair, end the elongated extremities of too other, there was a general laugh, in which the judge and the attorney joined. Upon surveying it was found that one line was a mile and a half lens and the other only a little ovtr half a mile. Washington Star. yVori a IirWie and a Fa?m, Mis8 Anna, the daughter of J. Hayes, was married at Chattanooga, Tenn., to George Miller, Jr., of Toledo, O., under rather romantic circum stances. The'groom is the son of the Rev. George Miller, a Presbyterian min ister of Toledo. During the dedication of the Chickamatiga park last Septem ber the R.ev. Miller met his old boy hood companion, Mr. Hayes. The lat ter has three grown daughters. The minister took a great fancy to Miss Anna and determined that his son should marry her, or at least one of hia old friend's daughters. He took home photographs of the three girls and offered his son a farm if he would marry one of them. The young man liked best the picture of Miss Anna. The couple became engaged and Mon day young Miller saw Lis fiancee for the first time. Both were pleased, and, after spending a week here, the couple will go to Ohio to reside on the farm thus won.

It has II t hat's a question worth consider There, is a certain censorship input you will do well to try to fath om. Any chemical compound may ha palmed off as sarsaparilla, if you rivals who blow great bubbles of are not permitted to know what you reputation. It only points to its get when you ask for "sarsaparilla." exoreised in respect of family affairs medals of merit which endeavors to defend the home lift- from dangers. The Mother Watches the books that are read, the friends that are made, the people and things that are introduced to the family circle. Ko parent would bring an un known person into his home, a per son without a known record, no matter what appearance the person in question made, or what position lie claimed. And wise parents are as watchful of medicines as of men. They want to know what the medicine is that they bring into the family, to be sure there is nothing injurious or hurtful in the remedy that is to be intrusted with health or even life itseif. Enquiry shows that Ayer's Sarsa parilla is the only sarsaparilla that presents itself to the home, its ''character" in its hand, like a good and honest servant. to make character. Reputation is of shorter growth it is what we are said to be or appear to be. Charac ter is winch are perma nent while a mil lion bubbles are blown aud burst. Fifty years of cures. That is tho record of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla. The record is too plain to be ignored too great to be imitated. "You know what your 're get ting when you get Ayer's Sarsapa rilla." Tiiat's the open sesame that admits Ayer's to the family. Ayer's is the only sarsa parilla of which this can be said. Tho formula of Ayer's Sarsapa- What We Are. Reputation is like the paint on the actor's face, it can be rubbed off. Character is like the wrinkles and lines that time makes, which cannot be erased. Character is what is graven in granite. Reputation is rilla is sent free It takes time j to any reputable physician on re quest, and so the remedy goes into thousands of families 1 y a phy sician's introduc tion.

It much danger, that the World's Fair j character with reputation, the bub Commissioners, at Chicago, in ISM, j ble with the medal, would admit no other sarsaparilla j The man with an alias is danger to the Fair but Ayer's, shutting out 1 ous, even if the alias is one of the all others because they were secret, i names given him in baptism. The therefore to be classed as "nostrums j man whoso name is John Jones, and who comes into the family as Mr. John, is dangerous. lie's not to be trusted. It's the same with the medicine. If it borrows the name j sarsaparilla, because it has a little j sarsaparilla flavor or a sarsaparilla smell, it's dangerous. It's a fraud. The man with the mask may be all right, but you don't want him around the house. Masked Medicines, like masked men, are unknown quantities. The masked man may be a philanthropist, wanting to do his good deeds in secret, and so choosing night and wearing a mask that he may hide his benevolence, lie may be but the chances are he's a burglar. The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan is the type of all these motley maskers. He veiled his face on the claim that his beauty was too rare for the common eye to gaze on. Put underneath the veil was the face of a demon. Every sarsa parilla that promises healing, but wears a veil over its formula is of the veiled prophet class. It's easy to be a prophet. You have only to promise. Ayer's Sarsaparilla deals with history. It points back to its fifty years of cures, a record which cannot be imitated, us the remedy is, by Imitation Sarsaparilla. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the favorite of the family, because it has a rec ord which stands for character because you know what you are getting when you get it. Remem ber: You don't know what you're what the Fair ex- getting unless you get Ayer s bar- i t- sanarilla. can r. nuorti to coniuse i and dangerous." Read the rule gov erning the admission of exhibits to the Fair, known as Rule 15 Articles that are in any way dansrerous or offensive, also pa teat medicines, nos trmns, and empirical preparations, whose ingredients are con cealed, will not be admitted to the expo sition." You can under stand in the light of this fact, the value of Ayer's m e d a 1 s. They mean character. Other sarsapa rillas came to tiie World's Fair gates with a rainbow bubble of reputa tion. But the judges said: "It's not wdiat you look like or what you call yourself. It's what you are. What are you And as they could not say what they were the gate3 of the Fair were shut against them. It was only Ayer's Sarsaparilla that could say: "I am called sarsaparilla and I am sarsapa rilla. Prove me, aud see." The family can't afford to admit AYER'S CL'REEOOK," A story of cures told by the cured, will effectually answer any ques tions as to what Ayer's Sarsaparilla does.

And the Case for Damages is Now in the Supreme Court. A case has been filed in the supreme court in which Aklaee F. Walker and John J.

In November, 1S05, in the Cowley county district court, Mrs. 'Conuell was given damages amounting to T" exclusive of costs for the death of her husband, who was connected with, tiie Santa Fe. O'Connell was a brid.ge watchman over a section of the mad. ivci vhiie negr Grenola, Elk county in l.v-5. was run over ny a. train. t the fiui" of his death, he was on what is known as a railroad tricycle," on his w a y to msoeet. a bridge.

IT'S ONCE AND 0i T NO"'. Judge Hazen Lays Down the Law to Professional Jurors Can Serve But Once a Year. Whenever the regular district court jury goes out to decide a case another jury is picked up by bailiff Coyne from the spectators in the room. This causes a large number of professional jurors to stay in til" court room, hoping to be called. Judge H;izn startled tlc-m by a statement which he made today. Deputy Ooimty Attorney S. S. P'rmy was examining a jury which had been picked up by asking each man, "Have you served iis a juror in a court of rec ord during- th" past year, except at the piosoiit frni of the district court?" "It doesn't multe any difference if it was at this term, "interrupted Judge llazen. "The supreme court holds that when a. juror is picked up for a case. he tan serve on no other case for a year."
