A i i i s y s TWO CENTS. TUESDAY EVi:XING TOPEKA, KANSAS, MAY 5, 1S96. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. Apparently Will Ee Unable to Do Anytlihi At the Seeon-l District Conven tion lit Lawrence. ASTI-IJUCIIAX FOilCES, However, Although Tliey Have E fleeted a Combine, Bo Not Trust Each Other and Trouble 3Iay Arise. From Our Special Corre;pniulent. Lawrence. Kan., ."lay i.-As the Second district consrt-ssiomil convention stands now.it is cK-cldodly anti-Buchan. The ar.ti-Biii'han people have arranged their pool or combine with such nicety as to almost defy a smashing, but the wily Billy Buchan of Wyandotte was surely wide awake. He spent nearly the entire night working with a des peration begotten by a fear of defeat, and wame near beir.K successful. The trouble lay with Nat Karnes of Kansas City, Kan., marmger-iti-ehief of the ami-Buehun forces, so far asWyandotte county is concerned. Barnes talked a little too much last nijfltt, and went so far, the Buchan people say, as to' charge that in ease the anti-Buchan Wyan dotte delegation were seated, Jack Harris of Franklin would be nomi nated. Buchan went to work upon this and came near playing sad havoc with the combine, and with the Lowe faction and Metealf forces. "Curly" Harrison, manager of the Harris lvgri-ms. awoke early this morn ing and with Joe Bri.st.jW and Governor Anthony went immediately to work to repair the damaged fence. He suc ceeded well, and soon everything seemed serene ayain for the amis. Tile slate or combination is for W. B. Carpenter of Miami for temporary chairman and Governor Anthony for chairman of the committee on creden tials. A place on this committee means hard work and much responsibility. Both the Buchan and the anti-Buchan people will present elaborate defences. The Buchan side will be represented be fore this committee by George Watsrm of Kansas City and George J. Barker of Lawrence. L. P. 3-Cep linger and Judge T. V. Anderson of Kansas City win present the claims of the antls. This will take up ail this afternoon and probably this evening. Billy Buchan is supposed to be father of a scheme to have the convention ad journ for thirty days and settle the Wyandotte muddle in that county, and then have the convention meet again. The State Journal correspondent ap proached Senator Buchan upon this proposition, and he said: 'I did not suggest this method of procedure, but if the convention sees fit to do this, 1 shall be heartily in favor of it. I think it could be settled better in Wyandotte by doing" the whole busi ness over again and it would be more fair." Any such scheme as this is latterly opposed by the amis, and it cannot There probably was never before a convention which failed so absolutely and entirely to get together. While tlie anti-Buchan people are lighting a common enemy, they are afraid of one another, and not willing to repose in each other much confidence. There is every probability that this convention will be drawn out this entire week. Very little has yet been accomplished, and r.ew complications are arising ail the time. Jim Simpson. Auditor George Cole and Assistant Secretary of State Tim Stover came down from Tep--ka this morning. Jim Simpson is locking out for Governor Morrill, George Cole is merely locking on, and Tim Stover is jutting in a word now and then for Charley Scott of I-la, who may be con sidered as a "dark horse" if this feat ure develops in case of a prolonged deadlock. Billy Kl'.varcls is expected tills afternoon and tin-re is some talk to the effect that Cy Leland may come in tonight. (TiXVKNTIOS nriixs.

Hut Company Says It lias Plen ty of ..leu AND IS riiEPAKED TO ..love Its Cars When Given Pro tection. Barns Were Stoned Ey Mobs of Sympathizers. Milwaukee, May 5. The street car strike situation is practically un changed this morning. Xo effort was made by the company to put out ears at an early hour and the start was not made until about H o'clock, when a car manned with new men was starteel out on the Karwell avenue line. N"o cars are running- on any otheu- line. Sixteen electrical workers and dyna mo tenders struck at the main power house this morning, hut company offi cials say they have competent men to supply their places. A number of electricians employed by private firms and individuals have struck in sympa thy. In all, about 273 electricians are on the street today as a result of the walkout at thti power houses and the sy mpathetic strikes at private estab lishments. The railway has enough me-n left, however, to supply the motive power and unless more men strike there will not lie lack of power. Straggling cars were moving on all lln. s at 11 o'clock, but as a. rule peeiple are not rieling on them and 'busses are veil peitronized. The1 streets are? free from excitement. The Federated Trades council at its meeting last night diel not. as has been reported, order a sympathetic strike, lie'soimions indorsing the cause of the sti ikei s and pi-euuising moral and fin ancial support were adopted. A com mittee was appednted to go to the coun cil me'ding tomorrow and complain of tile olhelouslle ing cars, and lee-ting fares. At .S o'clock car lines we-re s of the iu some police in help instances col- thi:, morning the street tie-d mue-h more closely than at the same three cars had 1. heeur yesterday.

The stre.-t railway strike assume.! a more serious aspect for a time last night. livery car barn in the city was surrounded by a large e-rowd, which stoned the buildings and in some iristanees drove off the police wlio had been detailed to (guard the barns. Tlie medis were mneie up of sy mpathixers of the strikers who themselves took no part in the d; monstrations. and for the most pait did not go near the barns ail night. The largest mobs were at the Thirel and flurleigh barns, where the patrol wagon was twice called, and wh"re two arrests, the lirst of the strike, were made.. At all of the bains mobs numbering from 3.000 to 5.i.h.m were gathered. At each non-union men who took the strikers' places were assaulted. Two car inspectors were rescued by the po lice from a laiLO- meb. X-it a man returned to work at noon today, the hour fixed by the street car company when all e-mployes were to re-poi t for tluty or be elisi harued.

An attempt was made to reib the postollice at Watson, ten miles south east of Top-ka. last night, but it was so far a failure that the thieves not only didn't get anything, but eventu ally left their team and wagon and almost all of the goods stolen from J. M. Heed's postollice store at Teeuniseh Saturday night. The thieves were glad to get away with whole hides. The store is owned by Watson Hill. During the night Marshal Watson dis envered that some one was robbing the store. He called some' of the megi! beirs and got a shotgun himself. There is a west and south door and Watson said he would watch those two doors with his gun if the rest of the nelgh beu's would not let the thieves escape by the back doors or window. The neighbors were unarmed and it is said afraid to go in that condition, and the thieves got cut of the back window and jumping to their team made off in the darkness, leaving their wa irem. As soon as horses could be procured the neighbors trave chase and this mornhm the robbers' horses were found a few mlies from Watson. They were not good horses and the thieves had taken to their Imels. In the store were found several sacks which the tkiees were rilling when disoC'Vereel. In the wagem were two boxes containing nearly- all of the goods taken from J. M. Heed's store at Teeuniseh Saturday nisrht. Marshall YVs-tson came to Topeka this morning are! notified the officers and Sheriff Kepley and Sergeant Dono van of the police force, who thought he might know the tam and wagon, wer.t out. The team and wagon were brought to Topeka. Donovan fnys he saw the rig go thremgh Top. ka Sunday. The robberies southeast of town will now probably stop. A farmer named He Irick from be tween Te'Ctimseh and Watson was in tfjw-n today and complained that he had some harness Etoien from his place last niht. cision of ths bench. The yards are de clared to be intiependent of the rail roads and are not to be considered as freight stations of the roads that con nect with them. The suit was brought by Wilson T. Keeuan, and K7 other shippers follow--ed him with intervening petitions. He shippeel four carloads e.f cattle to Chi-c-ago from Kansas City. He paid the yards switching charges under pro test and then applied to the court for an injunction. He se t up the plea that his waybill called for the delivery of the cattle at the published and agreed rate at the Chicago station of the road. He asserteel that there was no station for cattle on the line of the Santa Fe other than this stock yards. The road claimed the yards were a station. DEATH OF y,S. JITAKLAXD Sirs. C.

She was stricken with paralysis April 26 and gradually gre-w weak-e-r until the end came this morning as quietly as the first streak of light announced the day. She was an accomplished lady, and what she did for Topeka many of the older residents of the city will long remember. She was one of the founders of the city lib rary as well as of Imileside. Her whole life was a history of unselfishness, and its rule was dovoticm to others. If any one was to be cheered or made happier, there she found her work. She loved the beautiful and gocd and never c-her-tished unkindness or resentment. While she enjoyed life to the utmost death had no terror for her. it was but an into'-ehange of life. It was easier to be g-ood w here she was for she was m t only a lehgious but a christian woman. In more than one heart the world will seem daiker for the news of her death. Hut her iiiilur.ce- will not be lost. "The righteous shall be in ever lasting reroeni bra nee.

Bernhardt tripped light;;.' down the stairs of the Auditorium An nex and out to her bicycle in the street. As if she had been born on a bi cycle, Mine. Koriihardt mounted her magnificent wheel, and, with a light but still powerful push on the pedals, she was off down the avenue, with a friend and guide as her companion.

At Twenty-fifth street and Michigan avenue she slowerl up to ask a question of her guide. .lust then a boy who was coming south on .Mieii'ean avenue on a wheel gave a yell for her to turn out. Only thinking of not running into the boy she gave her bicycle a mighty push and shot euit intei tlie street, just in time to let the boy go by in safety, but only to get mixed uii with thr e men wdio were also going south. Om? of the wheelmen struck her and she was hurled against the curbstone directly in front of. a carriatre that was driving north. The driver managed to pull his horses tip, while Mme.

The bank was anxious to prevent a verelict be ing recorded against it that would stand as a precedent. WHO WILL J5E AUDITOR? Is the Question Which "Will Probably Be Settled By the Santa Fe Di rectors Tomorrow. The action of the Santa Fe board of directors at their regular meeting in New York city tomorrow is looked for ward to with great interest by the rail roael men in this city.

The four leading theaters of tlie city last evening gave benefit performances for the Cripple Creek sufferers. At the Tabor, where Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown" was the bill, Peter Daly, the comedian who last week sent several thousand loaves of bread to Cripple Creek, also appeared, and was warmly received. There was a. large audience, as was also the case at the Lyceum, or Fheum and Broadway theaters. The bene fits will net about $1,000. Each church in the city also donated its morning contributions to the Cripple Creek peo ple and in this way a very large amount was secured. Barred From the Uails. Washington, May 5.

4i PLUu. IVill Hare the Distribution of tlie Federal Patronage. He ward of tlie Boss for Deliver ing Kansas to XeElnley. the power or cxnus. Would lie a Bigger 31 an Than a Cabinet Oflicer. Tliese Ytlio Are SeekirtgAppoint raeats Should Take Note. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington, May 5. It may be safely said that the price which Mr. McKinley or his managers paid for the support of Cy Leland and the delivery of the Kan sas delegation to McKinley was no less than the promise that he should have the distribution of the entire federal patronagre of the state. This is the kind of promises which the StcKtnley managers have been making to the political bosses in different states and it is safe to say that Mr. Leland. v, lih his usual shrewdness, has not over looked any such propositions when they ti ere to be had. Several letters have been shown by members of congress from managers of the McKinley boom offering the con trol of the patronage of the entire state If the member would deliver the dele gation to McKinley. The person who gave the Journal cor respondent his information was a mem ber of congress who had seen one of these letters. This particular letter was net from either McKinley or Hanna but from another of the McKinley mana Fers who is close to th Ohio man and one of the authorized promoters of his campaign. He is as close to McKinley as Hanna. and one of the most promi nent politicians of the country. This letter, which was to a member of con gress, said: Since our Interview I have seen and it has been arranged that if the o -legation from your state is for Mc Kmky you shall have the entire con trol of the patronage of your state." There is not the least particle of cvujbt in the minds of those who know ji..w the McKinley campaign is being conducted and have taken any interest in the situation in Kansas, that Cy Le land is the possessor of a promise iden tical with or similar to the one above given. If he has not a promise that he shall be allowed to name everyone of ihs federal appointees in Kansas out side of the postmasters, it is pretty cer tain that the agreement goes far enough to say that none shall be named to which he does not give hi3 consent. There are several letters of the kind of w hich the substance has been given, in the hands of members of congress from the McKinley managers and it is Iskely from ail past experience that promises of this kind will all come into public notice if Mr. McKinley should be nominated for president, which now fwms probable. and should subse cuentlv be elected. It would be impos sible to fulfill all the promises made, snd the disappointed and disgruntled ones are certain to tell their woes and the grounds of their injuries or fancied injuries. it is barely possible that Cy Leland might be one of the ones to be disap pointed, but if he is .not and the agree ment, which it is a moral certainty ex ists between the McKinley men and and himself, regarding the delivery of the Kansas delegation, is carried out. those n ho have any intentions of seeking federal appointments in the event of a llepublie&n administration, had better t once begin to get into his good gTR ces. When promises of this kind have been 5r.ade to the controllers of the party machine in other states, there is no es caping the conslusion that they were also made to Leland. and the fact that i e has faithfully carried out his end of the contract is only another proof of the accuracy of the deduction. Leland, controlling the patronage of the entire state, would be a bigger man than as a cabinet officer, the price which has often been suggested as hav jrg been given for his support of Mc ."Kinley. and the position would be a great deal more to his liking. A LOST OPPORTUNITY. Senator Peffer Thinks the Populists Should Have Held an Early Convention. IFrnrn Our Special Correspondent. Washington. May 5. Senator Peffer thinks that the Populist party lost a ?rreat opportunity when it placed the for its convention after the other jerries. If it had set the date for its conven tion frst. fiamed a platform free from tne ridiculous features which have made the people distrust it. and yet retaining toe principles which could command the support of the people. Mr. Peffer tninks it would have strengthened it .s 1 f immeasurably. It could then have assumed the agr crressive and have drawn to it at once trie dissatisfied elements of the other gpartiies. The voters would have known just what it stood for and it could have -ared itc-eif of the suspicion or the oharee that It still clung to its nonsen t: ai vagaries. Now. the senator thinks, the party is in the position, the undignified posi tion, of hanging around like a hungry toy willing and ready to take what the other fellows leave. The people will imaeine that the Populists have not learned anything, that they will be as outre as when they advocated the sub treasury and like schemes, and the Tarty he thinks has lost momentum by ;t early disabusing the people of this irom-ession. loit notwithstanding this Senator T'ef'er believes the Populists will be second in the race and he makes that prediction. To the State Journal cor respondent he said: "The letter to Senator Wolcott and T'ie speecn or ms colleague Senator T-ier fitly represent thefactions among over Rc-pubiicans those that regard party fealty as the acme of patriotism r.nd those who esteem their country cm their fellow men as of greater im portance and worth more than the in terests of any party. "As to the part which the People's I'-Afty will play in this year's campaign. jt may be reasonably expected that it v. oil come out second In the race. I f-.ink we should have been strenghened i y an eai'iy convention, sav in the lat x v part of May or early in June. Bv a i -tier arrangement of our ideas and c if a-er statement of our doctrines and proposed party policies in our platform, we should have allayed much of the j -eiudice against what are termed our -v;ir.,i' As it is now these ims s-re a factor in the processes which are going on about us." CS.SDIT FOS SEJATOH PEPPEK, Honor of Increased Appropriation for Port Hiley Due Him. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington, May 5. The credit for getting an increased appropriation for new building's at Ft. Riley in the senate belongs to Senator Peffer. Congressman Calderhead had secured the appropriation of $i0.0u0 in the sun dry civil bill in tlie house, lie hoped to have it increased to $l"0.0"o in the sen ate. When the bill was up for amend ment and passage the item had gone by without increase when Senator Peffer discovering that no increase had been made moved to amend by making the amount $75,uuO, and the amendment was agreed to. WANTS THE "CAPITAL" The Appointment of a Receiver for the Paper Hay Be Delayed Soma Months. TJ. R. Kite has returneed from Ar kansas where he secured the postpone ment of the appointment of a receiver for the Topeka Capital. Mr. Kite says that no receiver will be appointed until a formal decree can be taken and after that is filed the case will at once be taken before Judge Caldwell at St. Louis and upon his action will rest the question of whether a receiver will be appointed or not. He says that they do not claim that an appeal could be taken from the order of Judge Williams for a re ceiver were it not for tlie fact that be fore making the order the judge decid ed several points, one of them being the question of the transfer of the stock from Major Hudson to the To peka Capital company. If Mr. Hite's intentions are follow ed the appointment of a receiver may be delayed several months. It is reported that Ed Greer of the Winfiel.l Courier still has his eye on the paper and that he hopes to buy the property from John R. Muivane. He wouid also like to be the receiver if one is appointed. FUND (JOES UP. Central Rational Bank Adds $100 to Keunion. and Festival Fund. The reunion and fall festival fund has been increased to $3,645 by a subscrip tion of $100 from the Central National bank. The committee has not solicit ed any subscriptions since the Beloit encampment, but Chairman Green- wald says he expects to resume the work tomorrow. The $5 subscription certificates are in the hands of the members of the committee and are being disposed of to people who will pay $5 on Jl monthly installments to help make the reunion and festival a success. ST. PAUL ENCAMPMENT. Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. K. is Enthused. St. Paul. May 5. Gen. I. N Walk er, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic: Mrs. Walker. H. S. Dietrich, chief of staff; Mrs. Dietrich and daughter have arrived in the city from the Pacific coast. The distinguished party has been on the road for the past month, during which they have skirted the continent in the interest of the St. Paul encamp ment. Gen. Waiker spoke quite freely on the subject of the encampment. In response to a question he replied with the exclamation: "It is going to be a great encamp ment, and my extensive trip has been solely in its interest. Its success or failure will, of course, reflect on me. But I have no doubt of its success. Everywhere I conjured up interest in the St. Paul encampment among the veterans, and I met thousands of them many of whom contributed to the suc cess of past affairs of the kind. in every one of the departments that I visited I was assured of a large rep resentation. The railroad matter is, I think, practically settled. The West ern Passenger association has granted tne one cent rate. The Central Pas senger association is what we are par ticularly interested in just now. This body goes south to Colorado and east to Xew York. It has not officially an nounced the rate yet. NOT GOING INTO POLITICS. Any Member of the Legislature Wil ling to Listen to Wheelmen. The wheelmen have decided to en dorse no candidate for the legislature. It had been thought that it wouid be wise to make an endorsement and a meeting of the executive committee was called to discuss the matter, but there was such a diversity of opinion upon who should be the man that it was fin ally decided to make no endorsement. There is a question among the candi dates and the wheelmen whether it would be wise to make a public en dorsement of any one. The wheelmen are so numerous in Topeka that a pub lic officer would hardly oppose any rea sonable request they might make. The demand for better roads will scarcely find any oppositionn.

SIX PEOPLE ARE DEAD And Eighteen Others Are Sore or Less Injured. A Large Section of Cincinnati Shaken Up. Cincinnati, O., May 5. At S o'clock last night tlie five-story building, 430 and 4Z2 Walnut street, between Fourth and Fifth, was blown to the ground by an explosion of gasoline. Six people were killed and eighteen injured. The shock was so terriffie that it was felt all over the city, and not one brick upon another is left in the front and rear walls of the building while the adjacent buildings are badly damaged and the glass in the windows in the Gibson house and the large Johnson building across the street are all brok en out. Giass was broken out of the street cars that were passing at the time j and one of the cars was badly wrecked, j All the horses in the immendiate neigh- j borhood broke from their fastenings and ran away. The explosion took place four doors from the intersection of Fifth and Walnut streets, where the pestoffice is located on one side and Fountain Square on the other. No part of the city is crowded more at that time of the evening, and there were soon many thousands of people about Fountain Square and the space around the government building, while Walnut street was completely block aded. There were at first reports about fire works being stored in the building and also about dynamite and ammu nition, so that there were several stampedes in the immense crowds on the reports about explosions being likely to follow. Several people were slightly hurt in these stampedes. The ground floor of 4:12 Walnut street was occu pied by Adolph Draclis for a saloon. He owned that part of the building and the other part was owned by M. Gold smith, and the first floor of this build ing at 4:10 Walnut was also occupied as a saloon, run by Louis Fey. The dust and dirt continued flying for a long time so densely that the work of rescuing the victims proceeded with great difficulty. The saloons were said to be quite full of people. One of the barkeepers, who was not on duty at the time, and escaped, lived in one of the upper floors, was filled with grief because he knew that his wife and four children were in the ruins. One of his children was recovered dead soon after the ex plosion. It could not be definitely learned for some time what caused the explosion, but it was finally ascertained that the saloons in tiie building had put in their own electric plants for incandescent lights and had just secured a gasoline engine with which to run the dynamo. The plant got out of fix and there was a flash which communicated to the gasoline and caused the explosion. The sudden collapse of the large building smothered everything in the cellar, so that there was no fire. Mr. John J. James of the Salt Lake City Herald was leaving the Gibson house at the time of the explosion and, with his heavy grip, was blown into the doorway of an adjoining store, tie was knocked senseless, but afterward recovered sufficiently to take the train tonight for St. Louis, on his way West. Noland David, a traveling man for the Columbus Carriage company was walking along the street at the time of the explosion, and was blown under a street car and killed. Cal Crim, a well known detective in this city who worked up the evidence against Jackson and Walling for the murder of Pearl Bryan is among those known to have been in Drach's saloon at the time and now among- the vic tims of the ruins. The family of Adolph Drachs suffered most severely. Drachs and his wife are numbered among the dead, his ."-year-old daughter is dead and his 3-year-oid boy is believed to be dying. Nolan David, a traveling man for the Columbia Carriage company of Ham ilton. O., and two others, unidentirkd. complete the list of those known to be dead. Among the injured were Sid Johnson, barkeeper for Louis Fey, arm broken. Billy Cook, waterworks employe, arm broken. Barbara tluttleson, leg broken. Harry Harwick. waterworks em ploye, cut on the head. Fred Healy. arm and shoulder. Motorman Stoftel. Joseph Sprague. porter. Conductor Folliard, Fisher. j Huron. William Lauth. j William Loheide. H. E. Hunwick, bookkeeper. S. S. Wells, clerk. W. D. Cresdey, papier hanger. Wiliiard E. Cook, clerk. J. D. Ward, race horse man of To ledo. O. Among the missing who are believed to be in the ruins are: H. A. Frieke of Norwood Joseph Woolener, barkeeper: Louis Fey, wife I and baby: also two servant girls in the j families of Fey and Drachs. A most touching scene occurred when j Fireman John McCarthy found his j brother pinioned under a heavy beam and begging the men above to kill him. McCarthy said there were three other men near him and they were alive. Herman Noite, jr., was sitting by barber pole in an adjoining building when struck by some debris, and suf fered a broken leg and other injuries. Mr. Drachs being among the victims, it is probable that it will never be known how the explosion came about. He had just been down in the base ment experimenting with the gasoline engine and had poured a barrel of gas oline into the tank. OLOVi HAS ENOUGH TO WIN. Major McZinley's Managers Claim 505 Tote3 for Him to Date. Cleveland, May 5. At the McKinley headquarters in this city it is contend ed that the Ohioan now has 05 votes. If this prediction is verified McKinley has enough to nominate him on the first ballot, for it will require only 4C6 votes to nominate. His managers credit McKinley with the following gains during the week just ended: Illinois 24' Arizona 6 Vermont 8i Ala bama 2 Michigan 14: Georgia 3 Missouri 2: North Carolina.. 21 Total 61 In his latest table General Grosvenor credited McKinley with but 24 votes in Illinois. Now the McKinley men claim 48 the entire vote of the state. Their claim is based on the supposition that Cullom is out of the race and their belief that the action of the state convention will bind all the Illinois delegates. There were two conventions in Ari zona, but the McKinley managers claim with confidence that the six dele gates elected by their friends wdll be seated. Here is the McKinley list up to date: Alabama Arkansas Arizona Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland M ich igan Minnesota Mississippi Misouri Nebraska New Jersey New Mexico 20 New York 4 16 Ohio 46 C Oklahoma 4 8 Oregon 8 22' Pennsylvania 4 4 Si North Carolina.. 6 30 South Carolina..

The Majority of the Republican Dele gates Favor McKinley. San Francisco. May 5. The Exami ner says: A careful inquiry has been completed in this paper as to the way the Pacific states will vote at the Re publican national convention to be held at St. Louis. The canvas shows that William Mc Kinley is by long odds the favorite candidate for the presidential nomina tion and will receive most of the votes of the far western states and territor ies. Indeed, other candidates are not seriously mentioned by the practical politicians or the conventions or the electors in general. The only break comes upon the silver question. In this regard some delegates may throw their strength to the radical free coin age candidate, should he appear, but as between McKinley and any other of the men now in the field the Ohioan will be preferred. The roll call may finally be answered as follows: Arizona, six delegates, regular dele gation for McKinley, contesting dele gation divided. California, eighteen delegates, cer tainly for McKinley. Colorado, eight delegates. doubtful because of the siiver question. Idho. six delegates. doubtful, one faction for McKinley, another demand ing a radical free coinage candidate. Oregon, six delegates, for McKinley as between him and any other candi date thus far named. Nevada, six delegates, for McKinley as between him and any other candi date thus far named. New Mexico, six delegates, certainly four votes for McKinley. Utah, six delegates, prefers McKin ley to any othor candidate yet named, but stands for free silver. Washington, eight delegates, divided with sentiment more strongly in favor of McKinley than any other candidate. ACTOR HOIISEWHIPPEi). Woman Assaults Louis James' Lead ing Man on the Stage. Columbus, May 5. The climax of the fourth act of "Othello." as produced by Tragedian Louis James at the High Street theater last night, was not writ ten by Shakespeare. Guy Linsley, the leading man of Mr. James' company, appeared in the role of Iago. Lying on the stage floor, where he had been thrown by Othello, Iago says: "This is damnation greater than I can bear." Actor Linsley had hardly finished the lines when a stylishly dressed young woman jumped from one of the boxes onto the stage. She was white with anger. She held a leather riding whip in iier hands and struck Linsley re peatedly on the face and over the head. Linsley said: Somebody take her away. Air. James, take her away." Linsley grasped his fair assailant by the arms, and Mr. James ordered the curtain rung down. The woman was arrested and locked up on the charge of assault and battery. She gave the name of Georgia Kimball, and said that she had met Linsley in St. Louis. She said he had rejected her. and she came to Columbus for the sole purpose of disgracing and ruining him.

A Defense of Secretary Car lisle's Integrity. Washington, May 5. Senator Peffer's bond resolution after a hard struggle got before the senate late yesterday afternoon. Mr. Frye, in charge of the river and harbor bill, moved to pro ceed with that bill. The effect of this motion if adopted would have been to displace the bond resolution and practically to kill it. The motion was defeated, 28 yeas, 39 nays, as follows: Teas: Republicans Burrows, Cul lom, Davis, Elkins, Gailinger, Hans brough, McBride, McMillan, Mitchell, of Oregon, Morrill Nelson, Piatt, Por tor, Quay, Sewell, Shoup, Squire, Thurs ton, Wetmore and Wilson -0.

Populists Allen, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart 5. Total 39. When the vote was announced Mr. Frye remarked that he was indiffer ent to the result but it should be un derstood that this action was a ser ious blow to the river and harbor bill. "Let me suggest to the senator from Maine," interposed Mr. Wolcott, "that the country will be delighted to know that these appropriation bills, carry ing millions have been laid aside until some information is had as to the bonds which furnish the funds for these vast appropriations." Mr. Hill secured the floor, taking up the thread of his speech opposing the bond resolution begun many days ago. Mr. Hill referred to the "Massachu setts and Maryland combination," in speaking of the votes of Mr. Lodge and Mr. Gorman, just given in favor of the bond resolution. Mr. Sherman asked Mr. Hill to point out any objectionable feature in the resolution, adding that he would like to know if there was any reflection on Secretary Carlisle, for if there was he would object to it as the secretary was not open to offensive criticism. Mr. Hill responded that this senate had forced the author of the resolution to strike out the offensive statements. On that alone the senate and country were to be congratulated. At one time it looked as though the senate was bound to throw mud. "I would have the senate treat John G. Carlisle just as a Democratic house of representa tives treated John Sherman," said Mr. Hill. Mr. Sherman rose to say that he had, while secretary of the treasury, wil lingly submitted to every congressional inquiry. "It should be known," said he, "that there is law, dating from the time of Alexander Hamilton, requiring the secretary of the treasury to submit to any inquiry from congTess." Mr. Hill thought that should the house or senate desire any information as to the sale of bonds or other data regarding the conduct of the treasury department, that a courteous note ad dressed to the head of that department to appear in person before the com mittee and give the facts desired, or even reply by written communication, would be promptly met and would suffice. Messrs Sherman, Gray and Gordon supported Mr. Hill in this po sition, the former reading the statute providing that any committee of the house or senate might call on the sec retary of the treasury for any data he might have as to the business of that department, or might call on him to appear in person. Mr. Hill continued at length. It became apparent that Mr. Hill was speaking mainly to consume time, and the galleries became thinned and rrp 1 in mi but few senators remained in their seats. Mr. Vest entered the chamber and interrupted Mr. Hill to secure as he stated, "some information as to the business relations that existed in the bond issue between the treasury de partment and J. Pierpont Morm. "I am not interested in these resolu tions," he explained, "as far as they concern any allegation against the in tegrity of Secretary Carlisle, for I do not believe it." He then stated his opinion that Mr. Carlisle, as trustee, should not have alloted the remainder of the defeated bond bids to Morgan Co., but should have again offered them for sale and thus allow the government the advan tage of the rise in price which resulted after the bonds have been on the mar ket a few days. Mr. Vest thought the allotment to Morgon Co. of the un filled bids a most extraordinary pro ceeding. Mr. Hill explained that the Morgan bid was regular and in true business form, and its acceptance was quite proper. While the Republican side was deserted, Mr. Mills unexpect edly required Mr. Plill to allow him to move an adjournment, stating that he believed Mr. Hill to be quite tired, hav ing spoken for two hours. Mr. Hill acquieced and the motion carried. HARDENED JUDGE FERRY. He Used to be Easy on Tramps and Such, but Has Changed. When Police Judge Ferry took the bench a year ago he was young and tender and a snap for the police court characters. Hi3 heart was soft and his kindness for poor erring Smoky Row humanity made the minimum fine the rule and not the exception. A tramp caught loitering about the city would get the stupendous fine of SI and then be given a chance to leave town. It didn't make much difference to that tramp whether he left town or not. One day on the rock pile was a snap, especially as it had three pretty fair meals thrown in. There were plenty of tramps in town then. They used to flock in from a dis tance just for the hilarious novelty of getting fined a dollar. It is different now. Tramps are lucky if they get out of town without callouses of ten to twenty-five days' growth: a disturber of the peace can make up his mind to pay from $15 to $."0: a thief gets about he same plus all his tears, and disorderly characters who were used to the judge's "J3" a year ago feel startled new when they hear his determined "$25." Judge Ferry is getting hardened, but crime is growing less. SAGE IS CARELESS. The New York Millionaire Failed to Pay Taxes and Interest. Nyark, May 5. Russell Sage, the celebrated financier, owns a farm worth $10,0i)0 in Sykletown. a few miles from Nyack. He has failed to pay the inter est on one of the mortgages and the taxes and expenses, and it has been foreclosed. Also, though repeatedly re quested, it is said, to pay the interest on the mortgages, the many times mil lionaire neglected to do so. He also let his taxes accrue. The whole sum of in terest and taxes amounts to about $600. The property was to have been sold yesterday. Mr. Sage was present, and asked that the sale be adjourned. He said that he had not seen his farm for several months, and he would like to look over it. and see how much he could "afford" to bid upon it, as he wanted to buy it in. After some talk, the referee allowed Mr. Sage an hour, then, after considerable discussion, Mr. Sage per suaded the referee to adjourn the sale until May 13. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

This city is soon to have a test of a horseless hearse. Sometime ago a mechanic em ployed by the Rauch Lang Carriage company, corner Pearl and Hancock streets, conceived the idea, and now a horseless hearse is fast nearing com pletion. It is a handsome affair, fitted with pneumatic tires and noiseless running gear. It will be propelled by an electric motor fed from a storage battery. The inventors are uncommunicative, and are trying to keep the matter quiet until a patent can be secured. The manufacturing expense is great, but the backers of the project predict that in a few years the solemn, black fun eral horse will be ousted from its time honored place in front of a funeral ear.

THE CHABO iVIi AS ASSAULT. The Case Will Be Decided by Police Judge Fsrry This Afternoon. A stood share of the police court time last evening was taecen tip with examining witnesses in the GiBs-Char owhas disturbance of the peace. Sev eral hundreci witnesses m'eht have b -en called but only about a dozen were ex am ined. The testimony seemed to be all Giles ward and showed that the Charowhas brothers made the assault and that Giles simply defend- el himself. The fuss was about posting some bills on the sioe of the Charowhas' store. J. J. iiitt. v. ho is tile general attorney for the Charowhas faction, appeared in their defense. The case was continued til! this af ternoon in the- absence of a witness. It is the guess of the spectators that Giles will be released and that the Greeks will be lined not less than $25 each.

Secretary Coburns Crop Eeport Is sued Today. Fol!oving is thecot.iiiiete report made by Seeretaryc'oburn this afternoon and brieiiy given on the lirst page of this issue: The report of the State Board of Ag riculture on Kansas crop conditions existing Aprii 30, based on an ana lysis of answers from inquiries in de tail sent to l.lM'O correspondents and covering practically every neighbor hood in the state is issued today, as follows WINTER WHEAT. Well-nigh every one of the 105 coun ties reports winter wheat now in most excellent condition, described in many as "best prospect we ever had," "could not be beaten," "promises a heavy crop," etc. The per rentage of condi tion in different counties ranges in av erage from 72 in Cherokee to 117 per' cent in Gove, and for the entire state is y7 per cent. But two or three re porters make allusion to presence of chinch bugs (these being on the wing) and none mention their doing or even threatening harm, except in perhaps one township, the rains and consider able coed wenther so far having been altogether unfavorable to their pro pagation. The ground is full of mois ture, the ideal wheat conditions pre vail and everywhere the growth is un usually forward and rank. The acre age estimated by correspondents as seecled last fall compared with that sown the previous year shows a de crease of 14.11 tier cent. The area of the present seeding estimated as de stroyed by winter and other causes amounts to 4.06 per cent, leavinir a net area of 3.::2l,7cej acres, much of it now well advanced toward heading out. This with five exceptions is the larg est in the state's history and but about l:i per cent less than the seeding for its reat crop of 7o,eeo.0et bushels in ist2. Tile previous years in which the win ter w heat area has exceeded three mil lion acres were as follows: Year. Acres.

The area estimated sow n is 144.300 acre?, being an increase of 25 per cent or 2VV0 acres, the increase being chief ly found in Cheyenne, Sherman, Nor ton and Decatur counties, in the or der named. Its condition averages 102. RYE. The area in rye is reported as 153. ono acres, which is a decrease of 27.0e0 acres or 15 per cent from last year. With few exceptions the condition is rated at 100 or above and for the entire state averages &s.5. OATS. Oats indicate an increase of CO, 200 acres or 3.76 per cent. Condition, 97 per cent. CORN. Reports on corn conditions in all sec tions are invariably favorable were probably never more so, and the sea son is from ten clays to two weeks ad vanced. Abundant rains lave fallen in April on every part of the state, mak ing die soil generally easy to work and favoring prompt germination. In a fe-w- of til t southeastern counties plow ing and planting have been sem-f.hat retard. -d by too much rain. Cultiva tion will begin early and be vigorously carried on, as 1h,, mild winter end abundance of fed have left work ani mals in unusually good strength. The estimates of a 'ja planted or to be planted aggregate .t;i..y(, acres, an increase of 3.4 pel- cent or 2'Ci,eea acres over the planting in lx!-o, and 27.20 per cent litre titan that of the 2T3,Wu,0uO bushel year. 1S0.

The reports indicate a marked ad came ia popularity and acreage of the sorghums for foraev and trrain.not only in t'ne western counties, where corn is not largely grown, but in many of the eastern counties as well, where coin grows in greatest abundance. The probable increase in area te be plant 'el is put at not less than 25 per cent. f these? various sorghums Kaiiir cor n is most frequently given special favor able mention. GRASS KS AND LIVE STOCK. Grasses, both tame and wiid, are for ward in growth and affording better pitstuiage than is usual at the time of year. The growth and vigor of alfalfa is pa rtienk: rly commemt.-d on and the p-romi tnoss of germination in the seed sown is mentioned as exceptional. Rive stock of all kinds is invariably reported healthy, barring instances of "cholera" among swine in a naif dozen eastern counties. ORCHARDS. Apple orchards in barton, Butler, Chautauqua, Coffey. Crawford, Doni phan, Elk. Greenwood. Linn. Montgom ery, Riley. Wilson and Lyon counties are being more or less injured, some of them very severely, by canker worms and forest tent caterpillars, which are likewise doing harm to various other trees. These worms are readily de stroyed by spraying the foliage upon which they feed with such arsenical poisons as paris green or london purpb. GRADE VINES A X D SHALL FRUITS The condition of grape vines is good and the counties having the largest area planted report prospects very favorable for an abundance of fruit. Blackberry and raspberry canes win tered well. Both fruit trees and vines are being planted liberally throughout the state. IXUEBS0LL AT BREAKFAST Says "Huh'.1 and Talks on Politics Between Bites of Chicken. Kansas City, May 5. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was breakfasting at the Coates when interviewed by a reporter. He was very fat. very red in t'ne face and disposed to be jovial. He ate broil ed chicken and remarked: Who will be the next president? Why, McKiidey. of course." He echoed the Query: "Who will the Democrats nom inate'."' "Huh! Democratic nomination, why my ye;ur,g friend, it's of no more im portance than a nomination in the Fiji islands!" The chicken was evidently to the col onel's liking, for he1 was lost in its con templation. "The Democrats will split at Chicago," he said, as if suddenly re calling what the convention was about. "Who cares?" he went on. between mouthfuls of chic ken. "It doesn't make any difference whether the Democratic party splits or not? "Who will the gold Democrats nomi nate Carlisle, perhaps. Bland? Don't know him. May be one of the best men in America. Might carry a state or two." "Will the Democratic party be de stroyed asked the reporter. 'Huh'" r. -plied the great agnostic, trying his eggs. "Tou can't destroy the iiemoeratiie party! Nothing can de stroy the Democratic party 1" "What will the Republican platform be?" asked the reporter. "Gold!" replied the colonel, wiping his mouth with the napkin; "just plain gold!" "What will the Republican silver men do?" "Don't know! Whowares?" "McKinley will be the next president. He wiil make a good president. He was a good soldier; he was a good con gressman; he was a good governor, and he will be a good president. Nothing very brilliant just good. He has ad vanced by regular steps; has always done well." "Who will be vice president?" "Why bother me about vice presi dent?" exclaimed Pope Hob. "Nobody cares about vice president. He doesn't amount to anything except to annoy the president by waiting to step into his shoes. It's a great mistake. The vice president should be somebody; be a member of the cabinet; should act as president when the president is dis abled Very bad!" WILL BE NO (iOLU BONDS. State School Fund Commissioners Wiil Take School Board's Re funding Bonds. The school board held a forty min utes' meeting last night. It wu decided at the meeting- that tile board would be unable to do any thing but let the state school fund com missioners have the refunding bonds at almost any price they chose to pay. Mr. Wilder discovered it. There are $34,000 worth of these that must be refunded, $2G,0Of of them have borne 6 per cent and $15,000 of them have borne S per cent interest. It had been Mr. Wilder's idea to have these bonds gold bearing 42 per cents and sell them to eastern investors. "With that end in view," said Mr. Wilder last night, "I opened negotia tions for the sale of the bonds to the New York Life but on my investiga tion I find front talks with the school fund commissioners who hold the orig inal bonds that it is not at our option to refund and dispose of the bonds but we must on refunding turn the refund ing bonds over to the holders of the old bonds. This leaves us no alternative and places us in this position: That if the school fund commissioners see ftt to demand of us the limit of 10 per cent on refunding bonds we have no way to escape paying it since we can sell to no one else. "This being the case the only thing we can do is to issue the refunding' bonds without the gold bearing stipu lation at 5 per cent, which 1 have the assurance of the commissioners they will accept." Tiie state will get the Topeka refund ing bonus drawing 5 per cent interest. THE NEW PENSION LAW. G. A. Notaries Offer Their Services Free of Charge to Pensioners. The May pension payment under the new law compels even the local pen sioners to mail their vouchers and not present them tit the pension office. ordinarily this .would necessitate the additional expenditure of 23 cents with each voucher for notary's fees but this is obviated. Mr. Click's offer to have the office help make out the vouchers free of charge as formerly is being taken ad vantage of. The county olficers do not charge for making out vouchers for the old soldiers. At Lincoln Post hall and at Topeka Post hall offices have been opened where the pensioners may secure free notary services, W. E. Bru baker doing the work at the former and Major A. P.

In Washington the Managers Abandon the Summer Season. 10,000 BIKES HIDDEN. It Also Reduces the Street Car Company's Fares. The Lines of That City Losing $4,000 in Fares Daily. Washington, D. C, May 5. An esti mate based upon figures by dealers and conservative approximations places the number of bicycles in use in Wash ington at 40.000 and the total amount invested in these silent steeds is placed at $3,000,000. There are probably 1,000 of the old types or cushion tire wheels and a few high wheels, but an ordinary is seldom seen except on exhibition. An increased demand for wheels has made the bicycle industry one of the greatest at the national capital and a larger number of people proportionately ride wheels in Washington that in any other city in the world. In addition to the smothness of the streets they are wider than anywhere else and there fore less hazardous for beginners. Rapid transit lines here have felt the effects of the increasing interest in bi cycling and it has been computed that the loss to the street car companies in fares daily wiil approximate $1,000. Not only do the car companies com plain of the loss of patronageeaused by bicycle riding, but theaters and restau rants are experiencing the same dis astrous effects. It has been deter mined not to have a supplemental sum mer season at the National Theater, and the roof garden project at the La fayette Square Opera House has also been abandoned. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Guy McFadden left today for Colum bus. Ga., where he will play first base for that team in the Southern Base ball league. McFadden was associated with Philip Mayer in the promotion of a team for Topeka, and his interest in the project has been sold to Fred Close, jr., who played for awhile with Mole's Giants. The tall Topeka player who covers the intitial bag said he had fully expected to stay here, but the offer from Columbus was too flattering to refuse. Fred Close will attend to the busi ness management of the Topeka club. The first games will be played Friday and Saturday of this week with Ex celsior Springs. Mo. They will be ex hibition contests. The grounds are be ing put in shape rapidly and promise to be in excellent condition. Some of the players who are cor responding with the Topeka manage ment are "Fatty" Faulkner, Troy's fast catcher last year; Redmond, who pitched for Troy; Duryea, Wilcoxson and others. The promoters expect to sign a team of fast men. The suits have been ordered and are to be of maroon. C. C. Baker has donated a car for the free transporta tion of the players to and from the grounds. The Topeka team will represent the only town in the state where there are no saloons and will probably be called the "Prohibs." TODAY'S 3IAKKET BEPOBT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, May 5. Wheat, corn, oats and provisions were all weak today though July wheat was firmer at the start. It opened at 61c, or 4c over yesterday's close. It firmed up to 62c on liberal buying but the large north western receipts .together with the lack of export demand and continued fine growing weather caused it to ease off in a short time. It dropped from 62c to opening price, and later to 61Mc. The wheat market showed more firm ness at the opening than it did toward the close on the day before. The Liver pool did not respond to the heaviness, on the contrary reported firmness at the opening. After holding firmly for a short time around the opening prices a short per iod of weakness occurred which was not changed into firmness again until after the price had declined to 6IV2C A sale at 61e-c was recorded but 6H4C was generally bid at the same time. Re ceipts at Chicago were 26 cars and 44, 628 bushels were shipped nearly all of it by rail. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 531 cars, compared with 641 a week ago and 3S9 on the corresponding day cf the year before. Corn opened unchanged at 29c for July but declined in sympathy with wheat to 29Uc. Pork opened unchanged at $8,021- for July. Liberal hog receipts and free selling caused it to decline to $7.S5. There was little trading in lard or ribs. July lard opened 2-c off at $4.S5 and ribs unchanged at $4.22i2& 4.25. Chicago Livestock Slarket. Chicago, May 5. HOGS Receipts 16.000; left over 3, 000.

WHEAT Cables came lower this morning and the market started off weak and looked like a new law rec ord for the season, but to the surprise of everybody Liverpool cables turned, strong and brought unlimited orders for wheat, 140,000 bushels being taken at Chicago for shipment. Berlin cables came weaker and abaut 2 marks lower. The anti-option bill in Germany is stated to be the cause of Berlin weakness and Liverpool strength. It will help Liverpool ami our market should it become a law. The advance was not sustained ami selling against "calls" near the close broke the market half a cent. Corn and oats were firm in sympathy with wheat and on light estimated re. ceipts. Provisions were weak early but met waves of investment buying on the break that swept short sellers off their feet completely and closing prices were highest of the session. Blanket Gossip.

Chicago, May 5. For Kansas: Gen erally fair tonight and Wednesday; cooler; winds shifting to westerly. Three circuses are doing Kansas at the same time. Hey Rube! We shall recognize Cy Leland and 'A. W. Smith as belligerents, whether congress takes action or not. If Ingalls gets into the senate while Tillman is there, the ordinary circus will be forced out of business. Kansas millers ship flour direct to Eu rope. Why should not Kansas cattle !nen ship their jstoek direct? It seems that Oil Inspector Kelly Is 'doing the same thing- for which an attempt was made to oust John Breid enthal. Mr. Sorrow is building a distillery at Leavenworth. The enterprise will probably result in a large crop cf him In that locality. When any new scheme is sprung on the public now it seems necessary to announce to a suspecting people that it i3 devoid of politics. In the naval appropriation bill passed fey the senate a torpedo boat is provid ed for on the Missouri river. Tlie prob able intention is to use it to blow up snags and sandbars. The money which was brought out "tvy the last bond sale is again finding Sis way into the vaults of the New "ork banks. The reserve increased pver two million fiollara last weeek. Nothing seems to go through con gress on Us merits. The passage of every measure carries with it a deal, actual or implied. Senator Peffer has been forced to pare down his bond in vestigation resolution so as to disarm opposition from Hill. Now he must wait on the appropriation bills for fear of losing the assistance of other sen ators who have axes to grind in con nection with the spending of the peo ple's money. It seems that about the only way in which a member can get a bill or resolution through congress, no matter how meritorious it may be, is by duing something for a majority of the other members. The welfare of the people does not enter into the ques tion. Everything is settled on a basis of personal interest. Congressman Laker does not believe in crossing bridges before he reaches them. He declines to say that he would not accept a renomination if ten dered him, though he insists he is not a candidate. No true Populist is ever a candidate. One of the dearest prin ciples to the Populist heart is that the office shall seek the man. To be sure there is nothing wrong about the man letting the office know w-here it can find him if it should want him. To do otherwise would not be fair to the office. The senate is not making any noise about economy, such as is heard from the other end of the Capitol, but in passing the naval appropriation bill it cut the number of battleships provided for by the bill reported to the com mittee, in two and cut off two torpedo boats. No better place could be found to economize than in the appropriation for warships, fortifications and river and harbor -improvement. Since a fear has arisen in the minds of the easterners that they cannot beat Mc-Kinley, they are now demanding that he pledge himself to the gold standard. They are in a poor position to make demands. They should have acted before the Illlinois convention. The fact that in no instance have the free silver Republicans made an at tempt to control the action of a state convention is ominous. There is noth ing more dangerous to the success of a political party than too much har mony. Since the hanging of Taylor some Missouri newspapers are pluming them ing themselves on the fact that they are published in a state in which a murderer cannot be rescued from jus tice by money. Kansans are ever in the front of re form. Ralph Easley was the first sec retary of Chicago's civic federation and Walter Vrooman is secretary of a sim ilar organization which has just been formed in St. Louis. Nobody by the name of Leahy lives in Pratt county, but there is a story from there that since the hail storm holes can be found all over the prairie big enough to drop a large sized bowl into. It is proposed that 40,000 women be sent to British Columbia to become wives of the single men there. What old poet was it that said so much about woman's innate modesty; but perhaps these are new women. Mrs. Lease credits the Populists with more horse sense than is ordinarily ac corded to them as a party. She says they will nominate Ereidenthal for gov ernor. Airs. Lease changes her opinion daily. Judge Wood's pictures showing the decrease in quantity of exhortations under the Wilson tariff would be much improved if they could also be made to show the decrease in value since the repeal the Sherman law. The McKinley forces will now move on Indiana. Since Mr. Harrison seems to prefer being a dark horse to occu pying the position of a favorite son, it is likely that he will not be in the way. Potato bugs are on the move is the information from central Kansas. Since potatoes have gone to 2? cents a bushel in some localities, emigration is the only way out. The worm has turned. A lawyer at Akron, O., has sued a judge for $50,000 damages for libel. The suit grew out of a "roast" administered by the judge from the bench. Barney Sheridan estimates the num ber of Democrats in Kansas at 50,000. It would be interesting to know where they were and what they were doing in 1S94. The expense of the inspector of oil in Kansas is paid by the consumers and they don't seem to get any of it back through the medium of the state treasury. Misfortunes come in crowds. The canker worms are here; no apples, no apple-jack; no apple-jack no Cyrus Le land; no Cyrus Leland, no fights; no fights no fun. The western and southern states go right ahead instructing for McKinley regardless of John Sherman's assertion that Ohio's favorite son favors gold standard. A sign that the crisis has passed: Western Kansas papers no longer keep track of th3 rains. r ft i it! f Elections in Gaylord, Kan., Are lin' ortant Social Events. The Women Hold All the OSice-3 and Administer Them With Sweet ness and Dignity. When, j-ou go to Gaylord, Kan., do cot fail to call on the mayor. She is an estimable lady and will probably be glad, to see you. She can tell yon many inter esting facts about Gaylord, which, though it is not a Chicago or a Xew i'ork, is a good sized place and has the distinction cf being the only city in the world that is governed solely by women. Yes, the women have it pretty nearly all their own way in Gaylord. Besides a wcruau mayor and a woman polico justice, the entire city council ..s com posed cf women, and even the city clerk is a winsome young woman who knows Low to pull political wins us well as how to add tip long columns of figures and solve difficult municipal problems. This is the second year that the wom en have governed Gaylord, and the in novation seems to bs a bego success. An enthusiastic writer in describing tho present condition of affairs there says: "Tho municipality is governed with honesty, ability, integrity, economy and for the public; good. There is no corrup tion, jobbery, sautibagging or looting of the people of Gaylord. Tito streets are clean and smooth, the sidewalks are wide and the public; works are equal to those of any town in the western states. While this is 3Irs. Haskell's second term as mayor it was not until the re cent election that the whole government cf the city was turned over to tho wom en. It is said that tho balloting was conducted in a most ladylike manner, and that not a single hair pulling match occurred during the day. A veracious report says that there was a noticeable lack of profanity around the polls and that the election "more resembled some social affair at a private home than the slumlike affair furnished by the usual polling place on voting day." While this is a serious reflection on the other 1IATOR ANTOINETTE L. HASKELL. Cities in the world where degenerate men run affairs it may be passed over as merely an outcropping of local en thusiasm. Needless to say, the vote of Gaylord is alwaj-s cast in favor of the extension of full suftrago to women. There is an active woman's wifl'rage club iu tho town, and although the state failed to pass a constitutional amendment last year tho women are preparing to make the fight over again at the next election, when they hope to be successful. Mayor Haskell is a native of Ohio, and her early life was spent in that Btate. fcjhe was educated in Michigan, where the new woman idea has raged for years. Soon after her marriage she removed, in 1S7&, to Gaylord, accom panied ly her husband. Siio lias always taken as active a part in politics as pos sible, and is an ardent believer in the equality of men and women. Her sym pathies have always been with the Democratic party. Mayor Haskell has two sons, cue 17 and another 11 years old. Mr. Haskell is a prosperous banker and landowner. At the recent election the opposing candidate, for the mayor alty was a man, but he was literally snowed under, as Mrs. Huekell received twice as many votes as he did. The office of city clerk in Gaylord is held by Miss Florence Headly. She is a native of Kansas, and received her education in the public schools of Gay lord. the is only i!0 years old, but she is not only city clerk, but editor of the Gaylord Herald, a newspaper formerly owned and managed by her father. Mrs. Mary L. l-'oote, the police judge elect, was born in Hennepin, Ills., in 1S51 and located in Gaylord seven years ago. Her husband was a candidate for the same office, but she defeated him by a large majority. Mr. Foote says that he is sick of politics, while 2irs. Foote thinks it is just lovely. Under the new regime in Gaylord a change has been made in the city coun cil chamber. A nice carpet has been put on the floor, and the porcelain cuspidors have been utilized as flowerpots tit least ouch is the rumor. The members of tho council are Mrs. Mary A. White, Mrs. Nancy Wright. Mrs. Emma A. Mitchell, Mrs. Esther Johnston and Mrs. Loella Abercrombie. Councilor White was born in Frank lin, O., ia 1846 and has been a resident of Gaylord since 1S79. She is an edu cated and refined lady and an active church member. Councilor Wright, is a native of Scottsville, Ia. and lias lived in Gaylord for ten years. She is 5 1 years old. Councilor Mitchell was born in In dianapolis and went to Gaylord in 1873. She is a business woman and the pro prietor cf a millinery shop. She is 89 years old. Councilor Johnston is a na tive of Ontario and has lived in Kansas for ten years. Councilor Abercrombie has beenaresident of Gaylord siiK- 1S72. As for the men of Gayiord well, there are usmp men there. They make good husbands and do cot seem, anxious to make themselves conspicuous by saed SliztS with locsJ politics. Aj-net-tb Cbawtord, -A.A V j VI A 1 iiU.il -Y- ijm.i 1 Insurance Commissioner's Sarcasm Displayed in Apologizing to Dawes. Insurance Commissioner Anthony has apologized to Attorney General Dawes, but in uch a manner as to only make the attorney general even more wrathy than he already was. The whole trouble grows out of the insurance commissioner's letter to the state auditor in which he approves of a voucher for $135 in favor of the Law yers' Surety company of New York. This S155 was, it will be remembered, paid into the insurance department by the New York company for admission into tliis state, but when Anthony came into ortice he found there was no law for charging surety companies a li cense fee. so he referred the matter to the auditor, alleging, to use his lan guage, "that the company was simply 'buncoed' out of the sum by the in surance and law departments of the state." Dawes did not like this sen tence and expressed his regret at the discourtesy of the insurance commis sioner. Anthony now says: "The discourtesy in the language of my approval of the voucher may have some merit; indeed, I think it has. The word 'bunco' ought not to have been used, but it was the nearest descrip tive term in connection with the facts, and was hastily use d. As a matter of fact, I ought not to be held to the high standard and polished plane of delicate courtesy and suaviioquy that distin guishes the scholarly utterances of the gentleman offended. I beg his pardon." TAYLOIl FOR COXUItESS. In Second District if Buchan is Nom inated Snider for Governor. Leading Wyandotte county Populists held a secret conference in Kansas City, Kansas, Saturday afternoon, and dis cussed the political situation in the county, in the second congressional dis trict and in the state. The question of bringing out Senator Edwin Taylor as the Populist candidate for congress in the second was thor oughly disc-used, and it was decided that in the event of Rilly Buchan's nomination as tile Republican candi date, Taylor would run against hirn. If any other of the numerous can didal s before tomorrow's Lawrence convention should be nominated, ex Governor John P. St. John will be started out by the Populists. A proposition was also made to boom S. H. Snider, ex-state insurance com missioner in a quiet manner lor gov ernor. Tllil WOMAN' JUKOR. Madame Warren Admits Her Sex and Steps Down and Oat. Denver, May 5. In Judge Allen's division of the district court the ques tion of the eligibility of a lady juror to j serve was aain raised and Milliner arren was obliged to step down and out of the jury box. on account of her sex. The suit was that of Jacob Sloat against D. W. Detriek et al.. involving a mining deal. The customary num ber of jurors ut-re summoned to the box and the usual questions to each asked. When each side had conclud ed, the plaintiff's attorney made the usual number of challenges, leaving Mrs. Warren in the box. Attorney C. CI. Clements for the de fense then took a hand. After several challenge! has been susttained by the court, the attorney said: "I now challenge Mrs. Warren for cause." "The records does not show," said the court. "I will make it show cause then," caid Mr. Clements. "Mrs. Warren." said the attorney, tinning to the fair lady juror in the black hat with blue violets, "are you a woman?" j "I am." said the juror, Tile court thereupon sustained the I challenge and Mrs. Warren stepped I down.

A T It OUT?,! AN CIUCILAII. One Issued by the Troutmaa Kepubli can Club of Topeka. The Troutman Republican clifb has issued its first manifesto and copies are being sent to all the prominent He publicans in the state. The address is intended to counter act the statements of the opposition that Troutman has been brought out by Shawnee county Republicans. It is addressed "To the Republicans of Kansas" and says: "In presenting to you the Hon. James A. Troutman as a candidate for gov ernor, we do not present him as the candidate of Shawnee county. Long before any action was taken in thia county in support of his candidacy, he had already become a candidate in response to a general and daily increas ing demand from all over the state. "Shawnee county acknowledges and appreciates the honor thus conferred upon her and upon one of her citi zens, and most heartily joins in the general demand that he be selected as the standard bearer of the Republican party in the coming campaign. "It is peculiarly gratifying that in supporting him we have a candidate whose life and record will require no apologies or excuses. "We testify that in Shawnee county, where he has lived from boyhood, and where he is best and most thoroughly known, his pjublic and private char acter have never been assailed or questioned, and that his superior abil ity is admitted. If he is nominated his character and ability will etand the test in the campaign that is to follow, no matter how aggressive, bitter or in tellectual it may become, and from the beginning to the end of his candidacy will grow in popular favor. "His strength is rapidly increasing, and the opinion of those most compe tent to judge throughout the state justifies the confidence of his support ers that he will be nominated. "Shawnee county is organized in his behalf, not for the purpose of a contest in this county, as such organization would not be necessary for that pur pose, but to render any assistance within our power to his friends in other portions of the state. "Without reference to issues that sometimes divide the party and mar Republican harmony, the Republicans of Shawnee county are united in sup porting his candidacy. "We pledge to him and to his friends throughout the state that this county will send a unanimous delegation for him to the state convention. "We would be pleased to hear from his friends and to render assistance to his supporters in any part of the state, and to that end we invite your co-operation." BOOK S II OWE At the Y- W. C.

TILL0TS01L The City Fathers Vi'onhl Like to Know What He Bid With the Money Paid Ilira far Expenses ia the Sewer Case. Gasoline Lights Will Stay Mill Dealers I lust Pay License Other Business By the Council at Its Meeting Last Night. The city council spent a half hour last night discussing why ex-City At torney Tillotson has not made an accounting- of the money paid to him for use to pay witnesses in the Decker, Mullins Berry sewer case. The amount paid was something over $1, Ooo. Claims for fees amounting to $1,103.50 were presented last night and the ques tion was raised whether some of the fees had not already been paid. City Attorney Bird I made an ex amination of the records and I have not been able to ascertain what fees have or have not been paid. Mr. Til lotson lias made no accounting as he was requested to do by the council. Councilman Stevens It seems to me that he would not object to appearing before this council to make an explan ation. Councilman Stephenson If Mr. Til lotson Uoes not snake this accounting 1 am in lav or of suing- him. When we vote money to a city officer we want to know what he does with it. I think we have the right to know and I do not understand why Mr. Tillotson will not do it. Mayor Fellows I think Judge Hazen dec ided that question about suing Mr. Tillotson. Mr. Bird Yes, when Mr. Tillotson sued me for jio in the district court I set up as a counter claim the amount paid to Mr. Tillotson on account of this suit which was over $1.i.m.io and Judge Hazen said if we voluntarily paid him the money by ordinance there was no way to get it back. Councilman Elliott I was a witness and Mr. Tillotson paid me. .Mr. Bird Your name is on this bill for S12 fees which have not been paid. Councilman Filiott Well I have been paid and I do not ask to be paid again. Councilman Nettels If one mistake is made there may be others. Councilman Burgess Mr. Tillotson ought to appear before this council and explain this matter. The bills then went over for one week to enable the council to make another attempt to secure an accounting- from Mr. Tillotson. LASIPS will burn-. The Suburbs Wiil Ee Lighted But Electric Lights Will Be Turned Out Councilman Nettels of the Third ward won his fight to keep the gasoline lamps in the suburbs lighted during the next ten days when the new elec trical machinery is to be put in the plant. A resolution by Councilman Drew was adopted to cut off the electric lights until the changes are made and then Councilman Nettels sprung his resolution to continue the use of the gasoline lamps. Councilman Nettels said in support of his resolution: "I beg vou in the name of the people of the Third ward to not discontinue the use of these lights now. We are very thankful for them and I assure you thev are ap preciated. We did without lights when the rest of the city was lighted with electric lights and now you have an opportunity to reciprocate." Councilman Drew This is a question of economy. If we can do without lights in the city proper, thev can surely do without where the gasoline lamps have been used. We might keep the electric lic-hts burning, but that would necessitate the employment of extra men to put up the poles and line. Councilman Roundtree I believe th people in my ward are willing to do without lights for a little while if thev know they are to get new electric lights soon. Councilman Warner These little lights are a great help to us. Out where we have few street crossings and a great deal of mud vou cannot imagine how much good these little lamps do. Mayor Fellows I think these lights should be allowed to burn ten clays at least. Then it will be moonlight Councilman Skinner thought th lights should be continued and Coun cilmen Pattison and Elliott that they should be cut off in the interest of economy. The proposition to allow the lights to burn for ten days was carried. TO F.EDTLTCE EXPENSES. Councilman Skinner Thinks That to Much Money is Paid for Walk Repairs. Councilman Skinner introduced a resolution providing that the commit tee on streets and walks investigate the matter of sidewalk repairing and report on the feasibility of reducing the expenses of making the repairs. Mr. Skinner thought that since the number of wood walks have been erreatly reduced in the past two or three years the expense of keeping thm in repair should also be reduced. The resolution was adopted. TOR. IJILIC INSPECTION. Ths Ililk Dealers Who Have Wagons Must Take Out Licenses. Councilman Burgess introduced a resolution amending the milk inspec tion ordinance. Ail milk wagons are to be registered with the city clerk and receive a license, for which a fee of SI is charged. The licenses are to be renewed in May of each year. The penalty for violation of the ordinance is a tine of $2.r or less..

TO SAVE ONE LANTERN. Engineer Rust and Fireman Lynn In vent a Labor Saving Device. Engineer H. G. Rust and Fireman Edward Lynn of the Santa Fe are the inventors of a lantern attachment for use on engine lanterns, which does away with the inconvenience and ex pense of keeping both a red and white lantern in the cab of an engine. The rules of the company require engine men to keep in the cab of the engine, constantly ready for use, red and white signal lanterns. The new attachment consists of a frame on one side of the lantern in which is placed a slide of red glass, and by turning the lantern from one side to another both the red and white signal light is shown. The red light is most frequently used in backing engines to a train or round house, and in flagging other trains. The inventors have already applied for a patent for this invention, and when it is secured will probably take steps to have it introduced in engine service. OFFICIALS AND :MPLoyES.

Her dutestable nephew, Pen Cold Stickle, goes along. She is determin ed to break off ruy engagement with Harry Barnard and make roe marry Penfleld, and as she is my legal guardian what can I do?" The matter rras worse than I had thought. Mrs. Kagley, the aunt in ques tion, was a very determined and shrewd woman, so sharp that I believe Eho would have Been readily things that escaped tha hundred eyes of Argus, and, though cer tainly neither Cecile nor Harry had taken ber into their confidences, she had a very clear idea of the attachment between them and tho necessity for prompt and decided action if she would save Cooile's fortune for her favorite brainless and scapegraa nephew. "Would you marry Mr. Barnard at once?" I asked the girl. She blushed and hesitated to roply, which of course I un derstood as "Yes." She was softly playing Schuroann'a "Traumerei" to cover the sound of our voices, for Mrs. Nagley waa seated at a front window of the parlor. "Thnt being settled," I continued, "I have a plan by which you will be able to do so next Tuesday evening. On thai Eight, you trow, I am to give an enter tainment in Rousby hall for the benefit of St. Simian's horpital. You must attend, and when I call for some young lady ta come on the stage and ba made to myste riously disappear step up promptly. Wear a dress of some soft, clinging stuff, mount the table and trust to me. Only you must promise never to divulge my trick." "I promise that very willingly." "Good! When you feel yourself sinking, do not got frightenod and shriek or make any movement. You will bo quite safe. When the sinking stops, you will be under the stacre and a young man there will show you out of the back door. On the street you will meet Harry. Tho rest I confide to your united intelligence." I had no doubt, when I made that ar rangement, of being able to see Harry and arrange the part ho was to play in the pro ceedings, but ho wtis out of town and all I could do was to leave at his place of busi ness an earnest message that he must on no account fail to be present at my per formance, for rensons very Important to himself. His return to the city in time was assured and I had great faith in the drawing power of that last clause of the message. It seldom fails. I enjoyed in those days rather an envi able reputation as an expert amateur per former of parlor maetie, one who could be depended upon to do some of tho bess tricks of the professionals and generally to produce something? new, and the charity for which the "benefit" was given had the support of our best people, so the hall on tho night of my last performance was com fortably crowded. Near the front on one sitio I had the satisfaction of seeing Cecile with hor aunt und tiie obnoxious nephew, while at about the center of the house, by the aisle, sat my friend Harry. The first opportunity I had for any per sonal communication with him was in the course of my "spirit writing" trick, when messages, surposably written by spirits, were caused to appear upon slates that had just been passed about among the specta tors and seen to be quite clean. Of courfo the messages were written in advance, and as I knew much about each person des tined to receive one it may readily be sup posed that theso communications were sometimes startling and always effective. How their sudden appearance was man aged I do not deem it necessary to explain even now. Tha trick was too jrood a one to bo exposed. Harry was one of those most astonished when he read his mysteri ous missive from the invisible. "When Ceciio mounts the stage, go out immediately, get a cab. moet her at the stage door, marry before Mrs. Nagloy catches you." He fairly gasped as with nervous haste he rubbed out tha written words. Then tho performance ran along smoothly with the "goldfish trick," card manipulations, and soon, until we came to the "mysterious di'wppearanco of a young lady." I had followed with much interest tho optical iilusions invented by Professor Pepper and by Maskelyne iu London, tiie "ghost, "sphins," and so ou, with the result of being able to get up for myself a new triuk that I frit assured would make a sensation, as it did. though I am bound to admit my method has been vastly im proved upou since. My stage was boxed in triangularly with a shoulder high screen of green baize. Well back in its center stood a largre circular table. Apparently one could see under it perfectly, but really its lower prtrt was boxed in by mirrors that, reflecting the screen, gave tho illu sory effect of clear space there. The top was a large trap. I called for a young lady volunteer from the audience. Of cotirso ono was provided in readiness, had Cecile backed out, to take her place, but happily tha girl's love made her courageous, and before her aston ished aunt could interfere sho was out in the aisle and mounting the "runway" to the stage, amid the loud applause of tho spectators. Whispering renewed injunctions to stand steady and ,not bo frightened, I assisted her to stop on a chair and from that to the table. We, of course, had to approach the tablo in a straight line in the center of the star!0 so as to avoid the angle of re flection in tho mirrors, and tho lights were lowered slightly as an additional precau tion. When sho was in place, a huge cyl inder swung about to show its empti ness was loworcd over her from the flies and rested on tho tablo. Settling it in place, I touched tho spring that held the trap and feit thnt she was sinking. Then I walked to tho front of the stage, waved my baton, tho lights flashed up, theorehes tra played, aud when, in a few seconds, I heard a faint click that told mo the table top was back in place I gave a signal. The cylinder arose again and swung about empty. The girl was gone. Tito curtain fell behind me while I was bowing to the applauding spectators, and I went oif at one side. The applause con tinued, as I had expected, and the curtain was raised, showing me again bowing my acknowledgments in the center of the stage. In those few seconds my precious trick table had been replaced by my able assist ant with another which was a perfect du plicate, except that it had no mirrors or trap. Mrs. Nagley, I think, suspected some thing, fcr she made a row, demanding the return of the girl, but X replied that I had only promised to make her disappear, not to bring her back. Then she and Penfleld and several others came on the stage, at my invitation, and searched for ber, but, of course, in vain. By that time Cecils was far oh her road to marriage with the man of her choice. J. H. Co'NLLY. Light Basiixena.

The largest retail sale of bicycles on record was made last week in St. Paul by the agent of a Chicago manufactory. Four hundred and sixty-five h'gh grade bicycles were sold to the Boston Carnival club in one lot, going direct from the retail cycle store to the riders. The Boston Carnival club was origi nally formed as a winter organization, patronising the outdoor sports of skat ing, snow-shoeing, and tobogganing. Since the departure of ice and snow the club has decided to turn itself into a bicycling organization, and conse quently all the members wanted wheels at once. The? firm furnishing the bi cycles believes this sale of 465 wheels establishes a record mark for a retail transaction which will not be reached again in years. TWICE IN THE SAME SPOT.

The horses at the department head quarters had hardly backed into their places w hen there was a second alarm from the same source and the run was made a second time. The second alarm was was sent in by Sir. Kunz who saw some smoke coming from one of the? upper windows and he concluded that the tire had again broken out. It was found that there was no cause for the second alarm. The damage is estimated at $250. THE ELECTIC PHYSICIANS. About Fifty Are in Annual Session at Hamilton Hall.

He enumerated causes of sui cide, among them Robert G. Ingersoli's fdea that when a man is tired of living he has a right to quit if desired. The speaker said he did not know that he would be sorry if Colonel Ingersoll be came tired. This remark brought out a reply from the Rev. C. B. Slitchell of Grand Avenue Slethodist church, who said he did not believe that Dr. SVhite or any one else could rejoice over the death of Ingersoll. All should rejoice did he live long enough to repent. He was the last man who ought to die. PRESSED A GOLDEN KEY. Governor ECorton Opens the Electri cal Exposition in New York. New York, Slay 5.

"Watkins Charged With' Violat ing Interstate Commerce Law. Kansas City, Hay 5. Considerable surprise was caused among local ship pers here when it became known that the federal grand jury, which was dis charged Saturday, had indicted John B. Watkins. formerly vice president and superintendent of the Indian I've Milling company, for violating the in terstate commerce laws. Watkins was arrested but released upon furnishing a SI, WO bond. The section of the law under which Wat kins was indicted was the tenth, which appdies to the reporting of false weights by shippers.

The new smoke stack for the waterworks, manufac tured in Hutchinson, has been put in place. It is fifty feet in height and made from the best quality of steel. A pacing race was held on the Ham mond course, northwest of town, the contestants being Ben Jacobs' sorrel horse and F. Haines' bay. The Jacobs horse was an easy winner of all three heats. It was a pretty race, however, and brought out a large crowd of spec tators. The machinery for the new ice plant has arrived and work is now being pushed forward on the building for its reception. It is a four-ton plant, and will be able to supply customers in the city. The corner lots whereon form, rly stood the Walton hotel and the J. II. Kicksecker block will soon be orna mented by two large and -s-bstan tial brick business houses constructed by a Kansas City loan company. Nothing so distressing as a hacking cough. Nothing so foolish as to si;t'.-7-fi'om it. Nothing so dangerous if al lowed to continue. One Minute Coueii Cure gives immediate relief. Geo. v. Stansheld, 632 Kansas ave.
