May 21 The old Brown orner Main and Seneca ier!y occupied by the West- building, streets, f em Ur.i in Telegraph company col lapsed today. The portion of the build ing tiiat fell was being reconstructed nd was upheld by braces. The cause of the collapse is supposed to have been the giving' way of the props.. Jhny carpenters were wording in the building at the time and the barber shop of Morris F. Jones, was full of customers. There were perhaps fif teen or twenty people in the building' at the time, of these two have been tuK.cn out fatally injured. They are George Metz, a barber, died later at the. Fitch l-.ospital. Mike O'Brien, carpenter, back broken; dying. Others who have been rescued are; S. L. Hawk-'S and James Adams. The body of James Hickman, a bar ber has been re-moved. Jennie Grib ben. the woman cashier of the barber shop is under the ruins and no doubt dead. The police and firemen are working to clear away the ruins and rescue tlie unfortunates; it is impossible to accur ately estimate the number, prubably riot less than fifteen. A dozen or more people are said to have been in the the barber shop when the crash came. Cries have been heard from the pile of debris. When the Western Union moved out of the Frown building, which is an old decrepit structure of f.,rty years stand ins', their dynamos and engine were taken out of the basement and contrac tor were employed to remod-4 and re const "uct it. Tnis they attempted to do by running braces under the floor joists held up by piers. The immediate cause of t:ie collapse was the removal of part of the foundation wails. There were but few tenants in the building. l.ATEIi PA 1 1TICVLA I'.-. Buff a i May 21.

Tiie falling waiis went down upon a couple of smaller brick build ings a d joining on the east side and demolished them. Sehnert's barber shop, next door to the falling building was crushed as if it had been an egg shell. It was full of barbers and cus tomers at tlie time. Quickly respond ing to an alarm, a force of firemen went to work to clear away the ruins. Their Zeal was (tiickened by hearing the n ionized cry of men beneath the- debris. The walls of the West, north an i south si l--s, stood nearly intact. The front wans falling out, gave the ruins the ap pearance of a hollow square. From the third stoiy of the wreck, d buildinj? an immense piece of Ceiling' and fi-or seemed to hang above the heads of the re seuing party. The wall to the south had broken at the top and a portion of it had been carried away by the roof as it caved in. This wail from the sec ond story up to what had b-on tin third, stood unsupported and was re garded as the chief daug.-r to tlie res, cuers and those still beneath the ruins. Al't-r twenty minutes of hard work the firemen reach d and extricated one of th- victims, mangled and ;..ieedimr. but stiii alive. He was taken away in ii n am i a: 1 nee.

The committee on episcopacy in the Methodist general con ference reported regarding the location of Hpiscopal reidenccs. Foston and New York were approved without argument. Iatn'alo was reported and Dr. F. W. "W'iiitlock of Ohio moved to substitute Cleveland. This was laid on the table by a vote of 21'i to 132. and efforts made to substitute S'nan glial. Na.-araki and Pittsburg: failed and Fuffalo was ap proved. Philadelphia was called and Pr. A. P. He r.ard moved to substitute Shanghai and a spirited debate ensued in which l'r. Leonard was scored. ashington was approved without discussion. Chattanooga was approved, although an attempt was made to sub stitute Xashville. but it failed. New Orleans or Fort Worth was finally ap proved, although efforts were made to add on Mexico as well as Shanghai or Xagaraki. Cincinnati was approved, as was Detroit, after an attempt had been made to substitute Cleveland. Chicago and St. Louis were approved. When Topeka was presented tlie Oma ha people were strong and attempted to substitute Omaha. This attempt was defeated by a vote of 231 to 142. It whs finally compromised by making it Topeka or Omaha. HOLD BXJliTOX. Striving to Irlanipulata Shawnee County to Suit His Ends. Something new in the local represen tative contest was sprung today. It is the appearance of Mr. J. Ralph Burton interviewing party workers with as himself in the arena, tie is on the street much zest as if he lived in Shawnee county. Burton is frightened at the way things are looking in the city district and he is trying to persuade as many of his friends as possible to vote for Yeale. At the same time Col. Yeale is telling' his friends that he is for Ingalls. The situation has become almost hu morous. In the north district Hoi man's friends say that Brooks is dividing the vote against James, and this may elect J urn s, w ho, they claim, is the Burton candidate. Mr. James. however, an nocmes in today's Journal that he is for Ingalls. which will greatly surprise many people who have fmcht him on the ground that he is for Burton. "What w ill now be done by the Burton people is not known. The people of Shawnee county will probably resent the interference of Mr. Btoton. They are perfectly capable of taking care of their own at'i'eirs end they need r.o help from Mr. Burton. His action will not have the effect of help i n g his ca n d i '1 a t e. 31 IX Ell S EXTO 31 IS E D. A '-Cave-in" at the Ashland Mine Re sults Disastrously. St. Paul, May 21.

I Uill.lt "If n Ail TO US, A Cyclone Approaches tlie City of Topeka. Is Seen By Hundreds, 13 ut Spares L's. An Enormous Waving Funnel Inky Black. FIFTEEN 311 EES AWAY. It Strikes Near 3Iaple Hill Ob literating a Home. Tears Down a NewErick School House. :nis. J. JAXSEX HURT. The Storm Was Extremely Limited In Area. Thrilling Account of the Storm By Eye Witness. At about 4:30 last evening the peo ple in the Santa Fe general offices and others in the high buildings in Topeka saw away in the west something that looked like an immense monster writh ing on the horizon. An appendage like an elephant's trunk extended from a black cloud toward the earth, now sweeoing the surface and apparently rebounding into the sky. For half an hour they watched its course which appeared to be in a north-easterly di rection. It was a full fledged cyclone, though not a large one which the watchers supposed was only about six miles from Topeka. It originated, how ever, at Maple Hill, 20 miles away and did not come nearer than within lo miles of Topeka. Only one person, Mrs. J. Jansen was seriously injured by the tornado but at least three buildings were totally de stroyed and great damage was done to growing crops in the path of the storm. Mr. G. P. Sturgis of Mr.ple Hill was standing in front of his store when the cloud began to form. It was a short dista.ee to the south of the village. Mr. Sturgis says: "The air was very still and I was watching a black cloud away to the north when my attention was called to what appeared to lie a whirl wind off to the south. Almost at the same time a gentle wind sprang up from tlie northeast. The whirlwind anpoared to grow larger as it traveled south, it went through a pond and the water was thrown many feet. Then it start-'d south and as it passed through tiie timber on Mill creek the roaring was distinctly heard though it had not gathered enough force to uproot the trees. "Then the wind seemed to be sucked up in the clouds and for a few minutes nothing was seen. Suddenly what looked like an enormous tail dropped from the bank of clouds in which the whirlwind had disappeared. It whirled ami writhed: it dropped to the earth and then in its twisting it swung high from tiie surface, its course s--emed to be directly east. 1 was reminded of a gigantic snake when it lias been struck a death blow. The evolutions were exactly similar. The sun shone on the bank of clouds and they appeared perfectly white. I stood at the mouth of a culvert ready to crawl into it if the monster should come my way but it continued on east and after awhile disappeared. It was the grandest sight I ever witnessed." The storm did no damage until it crossed the line into Shawnee county, for tin- reason that its course until then was through the large Tod pasture. It crosswed the line near the farm which belongs to the C. F. Kendall estate and then veered north to follow the bed of Post crock. Near the county line lives a family by the name of R. O. Filey. They saw the whirling tail banging from the cloud and moving in their direction. Its course was zig zag and it would sweep the ground for a few rods and then dart oil' in a new direction. They did not know whether to Lave their house or not. but finally concluded to remain indoors. Tlie tornado tore through the yard not more than 50 feet from the Riley door, '.chile the frightened family hud dled in a corner. Peach and apple trees were torn up and carried away. The family took courage after the storm had passed and came out. They saw it sweeping northeast directly to ward the farm of Mr. Jansen. When it came to the farm yard it rose from the ground and passed over a large corn crib. Then it dropped to the ground and carried away a part of another crib. It then caught the house, which was a very larire frame structure.. The building was lifted from the foundation like a feather and carried about :so feet where it was dropped, hut 'the wind im mediately caught it up again and whirled it back almost on the founda tion and crushed it like an egg shell. The entire family was in the build ing and Mrs. Jansen is the only one who is injured. She has many cuts about her h'.-aj and face, but it is not thought that her injuries are fatal. After demolishing the Jansen resi dence the tornado followed the Tenth street road east for two mile, where it struck a small house on the farm of II. C.iikerson. entirely destroying it. Just before it reached the C.iikerson house it p tssed through a herd of cattle and they were scattered like shavings. Some of the astonished animals were lifted many feet into tlie air and fell several rods aw ay. Others were pushed over as if by an enormous nana. From the Giikerson farm the whirl wind veered again and went northeast. A few hundred feet away stood a hand some new stone school house which was in the- storm'c path. The walls were crushed bke paper and the building will have to be rebuilt. A few hundred feet further on the tor nado disappeared into the clouds and it was not again heard of. No rain fell in the path of the storm. The path of the tornado was notjnore than lea feet wide in any place and this accounts for the small destruction of property. MR. JANSEN'S STORY. Mr. and Mrs. Jansen, whose house was demolished in last evening's tor nado, were brought to the city today and they are at the residence of their dauaiiter. Mrs. II E. Holtwick, at 017 West First street. Mrs. Jansen is suffering from cuts about the face and Miss Lulu Jansen, a daughter, is also bruised. Mr. Jansen and another daughter, who were in the house, escaped without a scratch, tlie daughter having reached the cellar be fore the house was carried away. The story told by the family Is short. Mr. Jansen said: "I saw some black clouds and we all went into the house. Before long I heard a roaring outside and I told the folks to run to the cellar. Before they could get. to the cellar the dining room door was blown opc-n. and when I tried to shut it a whirlwind about as big as a barrel seemed to come into the house through the door and then the house began to go up. It went up about fifteen feet and was car ried fifty feet away, when it began to whirl around and around and I knew no more. "When I crawled out from under the splinters I found that I was not hurt and I got the other folks out all right. One of the girls got into the cellar, but four of us were in the house when it was blown aw?-. It went down al most where it searied and it was broken into splinters. I do not believe that there was a piece of joist a foot long left. I know that the house wa.s lifted at beast twelve feet h'gh, because a post that stood that high almost against the house w as not knocked down. The boys were in the held working and they were not hurt." The house was a large two-story frame and was almost new. Mr. Jan sen will build a new house at once, as he is a well-to-do farmer. HEAEd'fKOJI AGAIN. A Cyclone Twists Through, the Coun try South of Emporia. Kansas City. May 21. Specials to the Star state that a cyclone of more or less severity struck seven miles south of Emporia. Kan., about S o'clock last night and traveling northeast, skirted the town of Burlington. Near Empor ia, the house of William Hughes was badly damaged and Edward Jenkins was "cut in the head by flying debris. Considerable farm property in the vi cinity was damaged and orchards and crops for some distance were torn up. the cyclone cutting a swath several hundred yards wide. Telegraph com munication northeast of Emporia sud denly stopped and notliing more of the storm's couise is kr.own here excepit that it caused Burlington citizens to seek their cellars. The outskirts of that town was struck, fences and mi nor destruction caused. ONE IiIOP.E TWISTER. This One is Heard From in Indian Territory. Kansas City, May 21. A special to the Star from Guthrie, O. T.. says: A cyclone passed throsh the Osage res ervation last night devastating farms and ranches and it is rumored killing a. number of people. A verification of the loss of life cannot be had at this time. The storm was general over the ter ritory and was tiie worst on record. Small cyclones are reported from Nor man, Edmond. White Eagle and Per kins, with much destruction of pro perty. Hundreds of cattle were killed. CAXXOX B0Q3IEB, And the Bells Rang When the Czar Started to the Kremlin. Moscow, May 21. The czar and czar ina made their triumphant entry into this city this afternoon amid the thun der of batteries of artillery, the clang ing of countless bells and the cheers of a vast multitude of loyal Russians and equally enthusiastic visitors from all parts of the world. At 1 o'clock in anticipation of the com ing of the czar, the entire route from Petrovski Palace, about three miles on the road to St. Petersburg, to the Krem lin. was so densely packed with people that movement except on the outskirts of the immense crowds was out of the question.. From 7 o'clock in the morning the route to be followed by the procession had been guarded by troops, infantry and cavalry, police on foot and horse back, in uniform and in plain clothes, until the road may be said to have been lined by row after row. thickness after thickness of blood and iron. The signal for the commencement of the day's movements was a salute of nine guns from a battery outside the city. This was followed by the dull booming of the leg bell of the cathed ral of the Assumption and the assemb ling of the troops at their various mus tering places. Then the countless high dignitaries of the empire and of foreign countries began to gather at the Petrovski Pal ace to take their places in the gala e-juipages. or to escort an horseback the carriage of their imperial majes ties. The grand dukes and grand duch esses, the prince and princesses. ,he Asiatic potentates, the innumerable rep resentatives from every country under the sun. assembled here to do honor to the czar of all Russia, the ruler of the mightv empire which half circles the globe. At 2:10 p. m. there was a further thundering of cannon, this timefrom the direction of the Petrovski hotel and the living mass of men and women gave a great sigh of relief, for it was the signal that the czar had started on his jour ney to the Kremlin.

According to the wife's pe ti tion for divorce filed today in the dis trict court they were married Septem ber 13, js:7. at Auburn, and have a boy 8 years of age and a daughter who is 7. Perhaps it's all because the 13th is an unlucky day that they have such aged children since they were married next year. The particular reason that Mrs. Buz bee wishes legal estrangement is be cause Leonard left her four months ago. got a place at $2 a day in Colorado and has furnished her with but $1. L EL AND AT ST.

Mr. Leland is a member of the Republican national committee, and is accompanied by Mr. L. C. Cium, of Oswego. KaitT'ne gentlemen are reg itered at the Laclede. ALL GUESSING. Now That HcKinley's Nomina tion is Assured. Politicians Want to KnowWhere He Stands OX I0XEY MATTERS. Chairman of Banking and Cur rency Committee Commends McIOnley's Policy of Not Speaking. Washington, May 21. The campaign of claims has ended as far as the St. Louis convention is concerned. The del egates having been all elected and Mc Kinley apparently having a large maj ority there is nothing left for the anti MeKinley people, if they are to keep up their fight, but to endeavor by sharp politics to lead McKinley into an am bush and to rob him of the strength which it is conceded he now possesses. Piatt is quoted as having said during his visit here that he did not intend to do any more talking, but that he would play politics from now on. This means, if it means anything, that the talking that has been indulged in was in the hope of influencing primaries and state conventions, and that these being over the delegates alone remain to be dealt with. What sort of politics Mr. Piatt is going to play is not fully disclosed. From what his friends say it appears that he has great faith in his method of attack on McKinley's financial attitude and the men in congress, even those who are ready to oppose the Ohio man to the last, do not express much confi dence in this method of attack. Representative Walker, chairman of the banking and currency committee of the house, says he sees no need of Mc Kinley speaking on the financial ques tion now. ".A man," he says, "nomi nated for orlice can say nothing that w ill not be tortured out of its true mean ing. and anything that McKinley might now say would be so treated. Were he to speak out for sound money it would be said that he was begging for office. The moment a man is practically nomi nated he should stand on his record." representative Hill of Connecticut, speaking on the same "Subject, said: "The public lias now no right to call on McKinley for an expression of his financial views. It is the business of the convention to make the niatform. rind I til if they think he is not a prov.er i I i.e.ii co sianu on ciiat piatiorm. Jet them nominate some one else.. It is hard work for a man to make a record after he has become a candidate. He should rather be taken on his previous record or dropped altogether, and if called up on to advise Maj. McKinley, I would tell him to say nothing." Representative Taft of Ohio savs:"No city should be stronger for sound mon ey than is Cincinnati, and the voters there were fully assured of McKinley's position. They have no doubt of his en tire devotion to sound money." Here and there a different view is expressed. Representative Frown of Tennessee, who is instructed as a dele gate for McKinley, said in an interview today: "This is no time for a straddle. Anv man who seeks a nomination should lead and not follow.. McKinley's closest friends do not seem to know"where lie stands, and unless he regards the aver age v iter as a fool, he should clearly state his position on the financial Ques tion." Gen. Michenei. who is a flo.ee politi cal friend of Gen. Harrison, said this morning on the same subject that the extracts Iran McKinley's speeches on finance no.v being published in the news papers were of a general nature and that there is now a demand for a spe cific statement from him., for the 'rea son that that will be the absorbing question of the coming campaign. "As Mr. McKinley has not heretofore put himself definitely on record on this ouestion, it seems to me that his party and the public have the right to know hi.-, views before they accord him the presidential nomination. I see no good reason why he should conceal his views. M'XINXEY- HAS 600. Representative Grosvenor's Estimate Brought Up to Date. Washington. May 21. Representative Grosvenor has given out the last of his series of statements concerning the election of delegates to St. Louis He says in part: "The following states have elected cither solid McKinley delegations or delegations with a majoritv of McKin ley men. so that it may be concede, that McKinley's followers will control the following states, to-wit: Alabama, Arkansas. California, Connecticut Flor ida. Georgia. Illinois, Indiana. Kansas, Maryland. Michigan, Minnesota, Mis sissippi. Missouri. Nebraska, New Jer sey. North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon, South Carolina. South Dakota. Tennessee, Vermont. Virginia, Washington. West Virginia. Wisconsin! Wyoming and the territories of Ari zona. New Mexico and Oklahoma. Only three of these states have contests for entire delegations and. throwing them out. there would be left t-wnty-nine McKinley states and territories to elect members of the committee on cre dentials. "Today the McKinley delegates elect ed are as follows: A laha ma Arka nsas Arizona California Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Nebraska New Mexico New Jersey New York 20' Ohio 16 Oklahoma 6 Oregon IS1 Pennsylvania Si South Carolina. 22 South Dakota 40 Tennessee So! Texas 20 Vermont Hi Virginia 10! West Virginia Wisconsin 2S; North Carolina. IS1 North Dakota. 13i Connecticut 3!: Indian territory. 2 16, Washington 8 4! Wyoming 6 be &i Total 592 "In Mississippi! there is a contest for delegates-at-iarge and four district delegates in seven districts. In other words, contests for the entire delega tion, but both delegations are equally enthusiastic for McKinley, so they may be properly counted. The same is true of one of the districts of Tennessee in w hich there is a contest. But if ail the delegates contested in all the state3 which are for McKinley are thrown out and the votes of the contesting del egates given solidly to some other can didate, it will not affect the result. I stand by my estimate of more than two weeks ago, that if there shall be a completed roll call McKinley will have 600 votes." iU. BOOTH FOIl 11 A II I ON Y. He Opens the Presbyterian General Assembly Today. Saratoga, N. Y".. May 21. The lOSth general assembly of the Northern Pres byterian church was opened here this morning at 11 o'clock in the First Pres byterian church where so many prev ious assemblies have met. The opening sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Robert Russell Booth of New York the retiring moderator, on the subject of "Christian Union and Denominational Loyalty." He said: "On one hand there are charges of undue severity in the ad ministration of discipline coupled with a plea for liberty within certain limits which up to this time have not been defined. On the other hand there is a fear or conviction that essential truths are at stake and a belief that the church is contending for honor and life in the stand which she has recently taken in her discipline and deliver ances. To many of us this controversy has been unexpectedly painful and there can be no doubt that it has ma terially interfered with our financial prosperity. It adds to the painfulness of the present condition that real effort has hitherto been put forth to secure a removal of these misunderstandings by brotherly conference and arbitra tion of differences. "It may be a dream; it may be a de lusion," said the preacher, "but speak ing as it were, for the last time in such a place of public authority, I appeal to the sound Christian sense of this ven erable assembly to take some proper measures to ascertain what it is divides us. and what is required for tiie abate ment of strife and reconciliation of par ties at variance.' 11!? T, 1! TiYIilf! rviic She Attacked Her Stepdaughter With a Hot Poker. As long ago as 14 months Mrs. Louie M. Taylor, of Auburn, attacked her step daughter with a hot poker, burning the child pitifully, and gouged into the hands of the 13-year-old girl with her linger nails, mutilating them terribly. This was all without apparent cause, but it was only today that the woman was declared insane and taken to the asylum. Mrs. Taylor is the wife of Preston Taylor, an Auburn stone mason. She is a woman of 35 years, but they have been married but three years. Before Mrs. Taylor was married she taught school near Lawrence for five years, and she has always thought that she over did herself. The woman's disease is also heredi tary, her father having been of feeble mind and insane before he died. For the past year Mrs. Taylor has not been herself, and has wandered about the little town without apparent purpose. She went to the home of a neighbor, Mr. Cox, one night at 10 o'clock recently, and asked him if she could get into the asyium, and if she could gain admission to Christ hospital. She has violent outbursts of passion, and during all the time she thinks her neighbors and her family are trying to do her harm. She says that Mrs. Dr. Donnell and other people of the neigh borhood ought to be killed, and those condemned are always those who have befriended her. Mrs. Taylor was taken to the home of Deputy Sheriff Frank Leech, and was not present in the probate court. THE SULTAN SENDS GIFTS. His Presents to the Czar and Czarina Are Handsome. Constantinople.

J iters of tlie Country At the Associated Press Ban quet at Chicago. sol s::itii HTSSELL Eater tains the Guests With "Witty Stories. The Banquet a Showy Afiair at Kinsley's. Chicago, May 21. The third annual banquet of the Associated Press was held last night at Kinsley's. The wails of the chamber were tastefully decor ated with Persian tapestries. The ta bles were arranged in the form of an open square, with a central extension from the president's seat down the open space. Flowers in profusion beautified the tables and imitations in smilax of tele graph wires made the circuit of the board suspended from floral imita tions of poles, whose base rested on the tables. On tlie ringing of an immed iate dinner bell, the one hundred guests fell into line in the reception room and headed by President Victor P. Lawson and Hon. Jus- ph Mediii, marched into the bammet hail. AVith an appropriate address of welcome. President Lawson requested the guests to fr.H to, and they did so. Pr-sid-nt Victor F. Lawson put the loving ct;p on its passage with a state ment of his pleasure in meeting the rep resentative newspaper men of the country. As sponsor fur the cup Presi dent Lawson detailed Melville P. Stone, general manager, and the precious ves sel was sent en its round air.urg the puests. As each one tasted the nectar frem the cup Mr. Stone announced his mime and the announcement of each well known name was greeted with ap plause. While the banqueters were absorbing the material portion of the feast. Val siss mandolin orchestra and the Imper ial quartette k-pt the air of the hail melodious with music. The memory (,f Mrs. Xieholson, of the New Orleans Pi'-kayun'e and Col. John A. Cook-rill, were drunk standing-. Af ter the coffee and other equally invig orating things, President Lawson in troduced the toast master, M. P. Handy, whose handy acceptance of the gavel was met by a motion for adjournment from General Manager Stone, but the toastmaster refused to entertain the motion. Chas. Emory Smith of the Philadel phia Press was then introduced and made a very clever speech. "I came here last year," he said, "for the first time and I went away with a great d al of inspiration. I came with joy this year leeause I knew I should get new rind fresh inspiration. I have had it. You have all had it, in the glorious meeting today and we have all felt a special sense of gratification in welcoming: to oar ranks and promoting: to the position of director of this asso ciation the accfpted representative of the Boston Journal. Applause. Each meeting- brings its peculiar distinction. Last year had one. This year's distinc tion is the triumphant advance of the Associated Press, into the heart of New Kneland, and indeed the capture of one of the strongest j oints in the citadel of tlie United Press in that section of the country, Applause. We were ail glad to see that our friend, recently come back to his own in the Boston Journal and we rejoice the more that he has so promptly followed the step by demonstrating tlie wisdom he al ways possessed, attesting again that wisdom in the step which we believe will prove as advantageous to his newspaper as it will be advantageous to the Associated Press itself. "Gentlemen, I congratulate you upon this good work which you are carry ing forward and I congratulate vuu upon the brilliant success of this "or ganization which is moving- forward toward its complete triumph, and in which w e all, I am sure, have a. more profound faith, and to which we have a greater loyalty than we ever had be fore." Sol Smith Russell entertained the guests for twtiuy minutes by relating a number of characteristic stories. Mr. H. G. Ksterhrook of Omaha spoke briefly, giving an amusing account of bis attempt to break into journalism as a substitute on the Omaha Pee, J naily going- bun tlie law. and his first case being a $'o,ooi libel suit against tii at pa t'teph.n O'Meara of the Boston Jour nal was the last speaker. He said, after a careful study cm his part ard on tlie part of his managing editor, he I, a l made up his mind that the organiz ation of the present and of tlie future was that which he had had the pleasure of me-ting today. Applause t He claimed not tlie slightest credit for v hat he had done. He changed his news service on his business judgment es a trustee and responsible for a very valuable propery. An avalanche was ret to be expected from Sew England, but he believed the Associated "Press would gradually absorb all the papers in the country which were worth hav ing. (Applause.) The eveniner was brought to a close at midnight by ail strssrirte "Auld Lang Syne." At the annual meeting of the Asso ciated Press, which was held In Recital hill of the Chicagj Conservatory of Music, Auditorium building. President Victor P. Lawson was in the chair.

The Famous Longfellow is Destroyed By Fire. Nahant, Mass., May 21. That famous historic landmark, the Longfellow cot tage, has been destroyed by fire. From this sacred structure the flames spread into a conflagration that laid waste five other magnificent summer residences owned by prominent Boston society people. The total loss is $100,000. The fire was started, it was said, by workmen engaced in burning off paint from the Longfellow cottaire. They were putting it in readiness for summer occupancy. The dry old timbers burned like tinder and many valuable relics were destroyed. The cottages were worth from $3.00 to J-iO.e.iO each. The Duncan cottatre, two cottages on the Green estate, tlie Cunningham cottage and the I. B. Blanchard cottage were all destroyed. "ADELINE'S OLD SCHOOL. The Famous Sayre Institute Soon to Ee Closed. Lexington, May 1. The rioted Sayre Institute of this city, for young women and girls, will probably be closed. This step, it is alleged, was made necessary by the Pollard-Breckinridge scandal two years ago. Miss Madeline Pollard was a pupil of the institution when she was receiving the attentions of Coior.-d Breckinridge, who was a trustee. The attendance has kept falling off until oniy eleven young women are boarders this season. Major H. B. McCMlan, colonel on the staff of General J. E. 15.

Richmond, May 21. The Ladies' Con federate Literary association of this city, which is in control of the Jeff Davis manMon. has invited Mrs. Davis and her daughter. Miss Winnie, to hold a reception here on June 30. This is the day on which the big con federate reunion here opens. Of ail the receptions ever held in the white house of the confederacy this will probably be the most notable one. Mrs. Davis, its former mistress, will on that occasion shake hands with tens of thousands of eld officers and men who served in the southern army. This, in all probability, is the last time that this iady will witness such a gathering of the champions of the "lost cause" in this historic spot. Miss Liavis was born in one of the rooms of the confederate white house in the very room, indeed, in which this re ception is proposed to take place. TO SUE CLEVELAND.

Mr. Armstrong says that four years ago he was promised higher wages, more work better times in iteueral. Mr. Armstrong has carefully comput ed the result of the Harrison adminis tration and that of three years during which Grover Cleveland has been in control, and finds that he has met with a loss of time and red action of wane? amounting to $1,675.

TAKE TIIE ACT SHIRT Oil the Teople's Each, Would John Sherman, Eather Thau "Violate the Na tion's Credit." BUT THRIFTY JOIIX Wouldn't Take the Last Shirt Off His Own Each And You Can Eet Your Sweet Life. Washington, May 21. The senate de feated a proposition by Mr. Gorman for the issue of $lu0,000,u00 of 3 per cent treasury certificates to meet prospect ive deficiencies. This was followed by the defeat of another proposition by Mr. Peffer for the issue of greenbacks to meet the appropriations made by the fortifications bill. Both proposi tions were offered as amendments to the fortifications bill, which was passed, thus leaving but one of the appropria tion bills to be acted upon. Mr. Gor man's amendment developed an ani mated financial debate with Mr. Sher man and Mr. Gorman as the main par ticipants. Tlie fortifications bill as passed car ried Slo.7i:l.SiS, or $4.11S,051 more than the house appropriated. Mr. Gorman's amendment in detail provided that in order to provide moneys not supplied from current rev enues for the expenditure of the gov ernment, the secretary of the treasury, with the approval of the president, be authorized to issue 3 per cent treasury certiiicates of indobtnedness to the amount of JlOO.noO.OoO, redeemable at the pleasure of the government after three years. Many senators were on their feet with objections and points of order, but before these were considered Mr. Gor man spoke briefly on the need of tlie amendment. He said he had already shown that if the executive made the expenditures called for by the appro priations there would be a shortage be fore next January. Mr. Mills tDem., Tex.) responded in a few words urging that there were well defined means of raising revenue. Congress was here and should remain here to enact such proper and well matured measures of relief, instead of resorting to any emergency plan as that proposed by Mr. Gorman. Mr. Sherman called attention to the importance of tlie amendment and asked a call of the senate, as the at tendance w as meager. When a quorum was secured the presiding ofiic.eiV Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, ruled on a point of order raised against the Gor man amendment that it was in order. Mr. Mills appealed from the ruling of the chair. Before the vote was taken on the appeal Mr. Sherman addresed the senate aerainst the amendment. He said it was unexampled in the history of the country that such a proposition should be made in a time of peace to keep the treasury from bankruptcy. It came at a time when the country was amolv aide to provide revenue for the government. He could name the items on which revenue could readily be raised. It was time, he said. that senators should lay aside all party feeling and make provision to carry on the govern ment. Under the present tariff law there had been deficiencies every year and every hour. It had led to a political revolution and the election of a house of representatives opposed to the pres ent law. That house had sought to remedv the condition by passing an emergency tariff bill, which was sent to the senate and here incumbered with a free silver amendment. Mr. Sher man said he was w illing to accept that house bill after the withdrawal of the silver amendment as the best available remedv for tlie treasury. If it did not aid enough, then bit cither items be add edtea. coffee, rice, everything. "Yes." exclaimed Mr. Sherman. "1 wou'd take the last shirt off tiie people rather than violate our national credit." He declared that an agreement could b- reached in two to four hours if sena tors would put aside their partisanship. If conc-ress did not act. then Mr. Sher man said, he had faith that President Cleveland, with whom he did not aifil iate in politics, would rot spend $1 on appropriations beyond the revenues he had on hand. The voice of the country, said he. de manded that we pay as we go." Unless this was done our country would be bankrupt and in a position a.s degrading as that of any of the feeb lest countries of the world. "I would tear no every one of these appropria tion bills." said the senator in closing, "rather than issue SioO.OuO.O'iO in treas ure certificates in a single year." Mr. Gorman followed in answer to Mr. Sherman. He said the remark from the senator of Ohio was most remarka ble, in view of tlie fact that he i Sher man) had himself proposed a similar measure four years ago to meet a pros pective deficiency in the last year of the Harrison administration. Mr. Sherman interrupted to deny that his measure was intended to meet a de ficiency, as there had not been a de ficiency under the Harrison adminis tration. Mr. Gorman read the treasury fis ures of tour years ago contending that a. deficiency was impending. He pro ceeded to show that the failure of the income tax feature, of the tariff act and the too liberal extension of the free list had led to tlie present lack of rev enue. Tlie direct appropriations as con tracts authorized this year would reach almost Sv'O.eOo.eo-o. while the revenue would be far short of that amount. "What was to be done to meet this defieeiicy?" asked Mr. Gorman. "Was it intended to spend th money raised on bonds, or would the executive branch thwart the wiil of congress by not spending what congress had ordered spent?" Referring to the Dingley emergency tariff bill. Mr. Gorman asserted that it had KvtT been intended to pass, and that if it passed it would not have yielded revenue sui'.icient to meet the reo.uirements of the government. "I sun:g' st to the senator from Ohio." proceeded Mr. Gorman, "that if he is in earnest in reaching an unpartisanship remedy, let us agree on three things the repeal of that erroj' which crept in to the present law as to alcohol used in the arts, which repeal will save $15.-A'O.-'ji: then a tax on tea. and then a duty on coffee, which would be so small that no one would feel it." Mr. Gorman said these three remedies would yield 4"' to "0 millions besides the saving of $l5,fK'.'MK. Mr. Peffer followed with an amend ment providing that all appropriations under the poncing bill be paid in treas ury notes or greenbacks, to be issued as reouired. Tilt! uuiendment was defeated, yeas. 12; nays, 43. Those who voted in the af firmative were: Republicans. Cameron, Pettlgrew; Democrats, Daniel, George, Mills, Roach, Vest; Populists, Alien, Butler, Kyle, Peffer. Stewart. The fortification bill was then passed. PROF. BLAKE'S X HAY'S.

He was well dressed and his wife, who is la years oid, is very pretty. He insisted on the college officials agree ing to take the bodies, saying that they would deliver them in a short time. Dr. Thomas K. Potter tried to dis suade the two from committing suicide and told them the college had no use for the bodies at this time. The two came here from Harrison county. TOWN" LOSES 50 ACIiES. A Large Tract in the Heart of Cham berlain is School Land. Pierre, S. D., May 21. After several month's investigation and careful work of a competent engineer the state has discovered that over ",0 acres in the heart of the city of Chamberlain be longs to the public school lands. The lines and corners between sec tions 15 and 16 were moved west when the town was platted and that amount of the school section taken in. The tract is very valuable and is now in the hands of hundreds of claimants. As soon as the necessary records can be secured the attorney general will begin suit for posession. and the state will undoubtedly recover property worth at least SeO.OoO. The change of lines was made easy by the variations in the government work, which was unskilled surveying. PliEPAIlE FPU AUTUMN. Denver Festival Committee Up and Pushing Things. Denver, May 21.

IGNORANCE Will Be Admitted to the United States Any Longer By Provisions of tlie Bartholdt Bill. HOUSE PASSES BILL By a Very Large Majority Last Evening. Immigrants "Who Can Not Bead and Write Not Admitted. Washington, May 21. After two days debate the house last evening by an overwhelming vote of 195 to 26 passed the Barthholdt-McCall immigration bill modified by the Corliss amendment. The bill as passed adds to the classes of aliens excluded from admission to the United States, all male persons be tween the ages of 16 and CO years of age (except parents of persons living in this country) who can not either read and write English or some other lang uage. The Corliss amendment added to the bill excludes aliens who come across the borders year after year to perform labor in the "United States with 110 intention of settling there. It declares all labor contracts with aliens void and makes parties thereto within the jurisdiction of the United States punishable by a fine of $1.0u0 or im prisonment not exceedingone year; and makes it a misdemeanor for natural ized citizens who have returned to a foreign country to make the same his home to again perform labor in the United States: makes it a misdemean or for any aliens to cross the border for labor in the United States except at a port of entry, and imposes a head tax of r,i e-rts on each iirmirraiit. Mr. Wilson (Dera, S. C.) favored a rauoal restrictive naasu.e. -dr. Hen dricks. (Pep.. Ky.) opposed an exten sion of the laws designed to restrict immigration. Mr. Banford (Rep., O. supported the Stone bill for consular insoec tion. Thousands of petitions from all parts of tb" country had come in favor of this bill. The main opposition to the bill camfe from the steamship compa nies which were in the business of tra nportatintr immigrants. Mr. Bartholdt (Kep., Mo.) the cham pion of the educational test bill, closed the debate. In doing so he protested against the statement frequently made in the course of the debate that 50 per cent of the inmates of the penitentiar ies and aim houses were foreign born. He produced census statistics to prove that -7 per cent of the inmates of the penitentiaries and 13 per cent of the in kates of alms houses were foreign born. He asserted that the German American press of the country was a unit against the Stone bill. At 4 o'clock under the special order, the voting began. The first vote was taken on the Corliss amendment to the McCall educational test bill. The amendment was designed to prevent Canadian competition with American labur on the northern border suid adao amend the existing immigration laws so as to make them more stringent. It was agreed to. 1-1 to 43. The Stone consular inspection substitute was lost, 75 to 131. The bill as amended was then passed. Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts de manded the yeas and noes, but his de mand was not supported by a sufficient number of members. The bill must now go to the senate. IIISTOBIC PINES ELBX.

The Ironclad Acrreenierit On Its Last Legs. SANTA FE HOLDS OUT. Wisconsin Central the Friend of Cyclers. The Uaby Biiffgy Will Also Ee On the List. Chicafto. May 21. The western roads' bicycle agreement is tottering-. It went lame yesterday and it will grow weak er daily. June 1 is the probable date of its total collapse. Unless the history of like railroad agreements fails to repeat itself, on and after that date the wheel man who buys a first class ticket for passasre over any of the western roads may have his wheel carried with him free of charge. Not only the vheclman. but the fond papa or mama who de sires to take baby in baby's buggy after a train ride will also reap a benefit, for the baby cab agreement is tottering, alone? with the bicycle compact. Past December western roads quietly and without warning to the wheelmen, entered into an agreement under which each pledged itself not to carry bicy cles, tricycles or baby cabs in bti-rsfage cars without the payment of a fee for the service by the owner. From the rail roads' standpoint there were many rea sons for such action from the wheel men's none. They protested, it is true, but the protest did no stood. Eastern roads failed to agree upon any line of action, and some of them have since announced that they would carry the wh.-els free. Keen with that precedent western roads srenerally have asserted they would not abandon the charge. And it is in the western roads wheel men are interested. The Wisconsin Central is the cause of tlie sudden attack of indisposition which threatens to result seriously. Its traffic manager yesterday sent several letters to this city from his headquar ters in Milwaukee giving private infor mation that his road would withdraw from the western roads' bicycle agree ment. It is probable some of the roads which do iittie local business, like tne Santa Fe. for iistance. wiil still ke-ep up the charge, bat those which do will be in a sad minrrity. In ins tetters to other passenger men Mr. Pond of the Central announces that he will at once appeal to the chairman of the Western Passenger association, who is the directing head of the bicy cle agreement, for permission to with draw from the compact. The chairman's ruling is a foregone conclusion. He will declare the road cannot withdraw. The Wisconsin Central will then act under the rules of the? organization and give ton days' notice of its intention to take the relief refused by the chairman. In ten days then, by June 1, at least, it will b; in a position to do away with the charge required by the agreement. WALDO PARK RUN. Some Peculiar Provisions of the K. C. Road Race. Kntry blanks for the Waldo Park road race, which takes place at Kansas City, have arrived here. The conditions of the race are, to say the least, very peculiar. One of them forbids coasting during the race. This is in itself enough to in cite inquiry, as it is not often that a riHer in a road race can afford to sit up .and rest. At Waldo Park, however, a big down grade cuts quite a. figure on tlie run, as a rid.-r can coast down this grade faster than he can pedai. This w as proven iast year when Rob La ins-, who rode without toe clips, nut his feet up on his frame and coasted past such redoubtable riders as the Co- nurns and Bert Harding, who were ped ainng- r.ard down hid. Another curious and unusual proviso in the conditions of the race is that one which forbids riders making a change of wheels during the race unless an ac cident tenders the wheel they are rid ing US'-ieSS. At first glance this condition seem laughat ie and unnecessary, but when it becomes known that the course going out is very much upgrade, and coming in very much down grade, cvclists will appreciate its point. It has been the custom for riders to ne'e a low gear going out. and w-h.-n they reached the return point to change to a high gear for use in coming down grade. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The house conferees accepted a large majority of the senate amendments. The house provision for the improve ment of Port Orford harbor.

THE 110 US A AFIRE AT SEA. The Captain Disappears Mysteriously From the Cuban Fillibuster. Wilmington, N. C, May 21. The British steamship Horsa. the vessel which has become notorious as an al leged Cuban filibuster, lias put in at Southpiort at the mouth of the Cape Fear river. She had been on fire and was pretty thoroughly gutted, beint not much more than a shell. She sail ed from Port Morant. Jamaica, with a cargo of fruit May 13. Fire broke out in the forecastle on the 16th and was not under control until the morning of the 17th. She was then 380 miles from one ef the Bahama islands. The steamer was commanded bv Capt. S. E. Cook of Calais. Maine, who was found to be missing between three and four o'clock on the morning of the Pith. It is supposed that he fell ovei board and was drowned. He was 50 year .cold, a married man and leaves a lumily. The crew consisted of 20 men. seven of w hom are Spaniards. Chas. E. Mc intosh, first mate of the Horsa brought her into Southport. The origin of til tire was involved in much mystery and some think that Spanish gold is at the bottom of it. The disappearance of the cap.tain also excites comment.

Congressman Broderick today sent out eight sacks of seeds which he secured extra from the agricultural department to the cyclone swept district in Kansas. Curtis also secured four sacks which were sent along into the same section. THE RAIN IS OYER. It Will be Fair and Warmer To morrow. Last evening's rain contributed a very unnecessary quarter of an inch of rain to the May rainfall. It was an exceedingly considerate rain, however, and delayed its descent until the K. of P. parade was over. Today the predicted warmer weather is here, and at 1 o clock the thermom eter registered SO degrees. According to the weather bureau the rain will ring off for a time, as the prediction today- calls for fair and warmer weather tomorrowc Along the eastern divisions of the Santa Fe and Hock Island a good rain is reported to have fallen last night. A good rain is also reported to have fallen on the southern division of the Santa Fe from Norman to Pureell. I. T.. from 11:20 last night to 1:30 this morn ing.

Describes to the Senate Committee of the Atrocities in Cuba. Washington. May 21. Rev. Albert J. Diaz, the American and Baptist mis sionary, who. with his family and broth er, was expelled from Cuba, after hav ing been arrested and incarcerated in prison there, has just been given a hearing before a sub-committee of the senate committee of foreign relations, consisting of Senators Morgan and Da vis. Afr. Diaz made a statement under oath to the sub-committee, the sub stance of which has been furnished to th" Associated Press. Many of the statements made by Mr. Diaz to the committee have already ap peared in print. Ore case just furnished the state department was at Guatao. where1 the Spanish soldiers .i!Ieai six or seven men (ncn-combatar.tsi. The Spaniards went into different houses, and gathered 17 men. They tied these together two by two. among them be ing T.adisio Ouiritero, an American 21 years old ot Key West, wno was found sick in bed. They were taken to the street and commanded to kneel down. The saicliers fired at them, killing all except the American. This occurred on February 22. in the immediate presence of the wives and children of the unfor tunate men. Mr. Diaz's statement gives accounts of cases where he alleges explosive bul lets were used Uy the Spaniards, and of the shooting of two children in the arms of tidr mothers by the Spaniards On the 15th of March, in Havana, he saw a man who had been killed by the soldiers and who had 71 bayonet wounds. Mr. Diaz mentioned several in stances where the Spaniards bombard ed insurgent hospitals, killing the in mates. Beloit Creamery Doing Business. Beloit, May 21.

Sold by all druggists- L. (J. PARKER NAMED. He is Nominated to Succeed Senator Wilicockson on 64th Ballot. Stockton, May 21. The Republicans of the Thirty-ninth district have been in convention here since yesterday morning trying to name a successor to Senator Wilicockson, the piresent in cumbent. Sixty-three ballots were taken yesterday without result, the vote standing about equally between L. G. Parker of Oberlin, Sim Motz of Hays and A. J. Harwi of Hill City. The matter was amicably adjusted late last night and on the first ballot this morning Parker was unanimously chosen as the nominee. Tlie best of feeling prevails. Captain Parker is a lawyer from Oberlin, an old soldier and a prominent man in Grand Army circles. He is said to be a clean man politically and one upon whom all factions can combine. He has never held a political office and is conservative and safe. On the sen atorial question he is said to be abso lutely non-committal, but like most of the Sixth district senators and repre sentatives, will probably support Judge W. B. Sutton as long as the latter is in the race. He is friendly toward Bur ton and also toward Ingaiis. though it is said he favors Burton as between the Abilene and Atchison statesmen. The convention was a harmonious one all the way through, and there was an absence of bitter feeling. Motz made a good fight for the nomination, and so did Harwi. and the convention being in session as long as it was created no bitterness nor acerbity among the rival candidates. The Thirty-ninth senatorial district embraces nineteen counties, or tlie greater part of the Sixth congressional district. Senator K. E. Wilicockson of Logan, the present senator, was elected four years ago by only 134 majority, though there was a weak Populist candidate against him. The Populists say that Parker is not a strong candidate, and are figuring on nominating a strong man with whom to beat the Republican nominee. BARKER. PLEASES POPULISTS. Say That With a Good Populist They Can Easily Beat Him. Chairman Breidenthal and Secretary Bob Semple of the Populist state cen tral committee are much pleased with the nomination of Captain Parker at Stockton. Parker was the man that the Populists wanted to be the nomi nee and they say he is the weakest can didate of the three men before the con vention. Neither Breidenthal nor Semple will say who the probable nominee of tiie Populists in the Thirty-ninth wiil be. but th'-yT both say it will be a stronger candidate than "the one who opposed Senator Wilicockson in lSf'2. Wilicook so only carried the district by 134 votes then, and Breid-nthal and Semple both say that the Populist candidate that year was a weak one and that there were contingencies existing- that year which are out of the way now. HOSTETTER RELEASED. The Goodiand Bank Official Goes Free Chicago, May 21. A. W. Hostetter ar rested several days ago on the charge of having" committed the crime of em bezzlement at Goodiand, Kan., has been released by Judge Goggin on a writ of habeas corpus. Requisition papers from the governor of Kansas are therefore of no avail. Attorney Josiah Cratley says that not only is Mr. Hostetter not guilty of the crime but he has entirely settled up with the bank of which he was president all indebted ness by giving satisfactory notes and property. 3I0RE TO WALK OUT. Georgia Democrats Who V on't Stand a Gold Flatform. Atlanta, Ga., May 21. Congressman Bailey of Texas spoke for free silver here last night. After his address Evan P. Howell made a sraeech in which he said: "The Republicans are going to meet in St. Louis on the 16th of June and nominate McKinley on a gold platform. On the 7th of July the Democrats will go to Chicago and with the assistance of delegates from Re publican states that never give us a vote in the electoral college will try to force a goldbug upon us. But will they do it? "We have got the fight whipped in Georgia," he continued, "and on the 6th of Tune we are going to send delegates to the state convention who will in turn elect a delegate to go to Chicago and if they cannot get what we want there we will walk out and go off and form a party of our own." WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS. The Delegation is Hade Up of Silver Men Says Judge Lowe. Judge J. G. Lowe, chairman of the state railway commission, says that the delegation to the Topeka conven tion here June 3. which was selected at Washington county's Democratic con vention yesterday is friendly to silver. He says that out of the nine delegates there are but two gold men. and one of these will not attend, in all probability, his alternate being a sdverite. Notw ithstanding all this. Judge Lowe was not able to get a silver resolution through the convention and the dele gates are uninstructed. Regarding the choice of the Washing ton delegation for delegate-at-large to the national convention, Judge Lowe says that the delegates will support Tom Dolan of Washington and will probably not care about mixing up in the Martin and Overmyer contest. NOT IN GOOD STANDING. The Rev. Charlee A. Briggs Given a Vacation by the Presbyterian Church. New York. May 21. The Herald this morning says: The Rev. Charles A. Briggs. professor in Union Theological seminary, said to a reporter: "it is true that I am to 'nave a long vacation. The seminary managers have decid.ed to give me a year's rest from work. My- vacation wiil not begin, however, until January 1, lsaT. In the meantime I will attend to my usual duties at the seminary." Dr. F.riggs said his health was good, but he has had no vacation in twenty three years. He will probably go to Europe. In this connection it is re ported that the Union seminary direct ors have added Rev. H. P. Smith to the faculty". Dr. Smith, like Dr. Briggs, has had trouble with the general as sembly, it being charged that the teachings of both men have not been in accordance with the doctrines of the Presbyterian church.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette, the official organ of the liquor interests, says: "We have received a number of com munications from liquor dealers in various parts of the country inquiring why the World of this city Is boom ing: McKinley for president. We an swer, because he is the weakest candi date whom the Republicans can nomi nate. If the McKinley managers are relying on the support of the liquor Vote as some recent press reports seem to Indicate they make a woeful mis take. The man has not been born yet who can deliver the liquor vote of the United States in a national campaign. "The mere attempt to undertake the job cn the part of certain men who hold official positions in the National Liquor Dealers' association would rend the association asunder and inflict in calculable injury on the liquor busi ness. All the talk about McKinley hav ing the Republican liquor vote back of him is rot and humbug. Should Mc Kinley be nominated at St. Louis, as the Democrats fervently pray, bis can vass will be a surprise to many men. His inherent and structural weakness as a popular candidate will then be come manifest even to the dullest intellect." AN HONEST IOLLAR, The gold advocates never weary of the subject of the honest dollar. Their deiinition of an honest dollar is: One that is worth just as much after being melted and when the government stamp has been removed, as it was be fore. The pold dollar they say is that kind of a dollar, while the silver dollar is not. Since the minis are open to the un limited coinatre of gold and the govern ment charges nothing" for its services, it could not be otherwise, because the owner of a melted dollar has only to take it to the mint and have it re coined without cost to himself. With the silver dollar it is different. The mints are not open to silver. If his sil ver dollar is overtaken by fire, all he can do with it is to sell to somebody for what it will bring as material from which to make spoons. When silver is put on an equal foot ing with gold before the law it will stand the fire test just as well as its colored brother. Evidence of this can be seen in Mexico. A Mexican silver dollar when melted is worth exactly what it was before. Is a silver dollar honest in Mexico and dishonest in theUnited States? The gold dollar is the only dishonest dollar in the world. It has been so favored by legislation that it robs the people of twice as much as it is entitled to. The opposition to David Overmyer which occasionally crops out in his own party is not surprising. It is only nat ural that they should distrust his De mocracy. Like the mascotte, a Dem ocrat to be a Democrat must be born a Democrat. Mr. Overmyer was not borna Democrat. It may be said that he was converted to Democracy; but how can a man be converted to Democracy when there is nothing to be converted to? Another fact that tends to cast a doubt on Mr. Overmyer's Democracy Is the fact that he is a thinking man. He possesses the body of a Democrat all right, but his head gives him away. As good a lawyer as chief Justice Martin of Kansas m'tarht have known that if his decision on the mortgage re demption law ever reached the su preme court of the United States it would be reversed. Kansas City Star. Yes, he might, in consideration of the fact that the same supreme court justice who reversed, reversed himself on the income tax decision. Justice Shiras. it seems, can't help deciding in favor of the corporations. lie is built that way or else there are other reasons. It is proposed to offer a resolution in the Chicago convention pledging the candidate, if elected, not to veto any measure which has received a majority of the votes of his own party in con gress. It is a point worthy the con sideration of all national conventions. MAKES A LAKE 0 IT. Eeavy Kains Ilake Great Trouble In a City District. Councilman Frank Stevens of the Second ward has a. plan to relieve the people living in his ward from the overflows which always follow heavy rai ns. He says that the territory between Washington and Klein streets and be tween Fourth and the Santa Fe shops is in a natural basin and that there is absolutely no protection from inunda tion after a heavy fall of water. "During the recent heavy rain the water stood knee deep for several blocks." said he. "and there was noth ing to do, but to await its absorption. The people can do nothing and if 1 can secure some relief for them, for the two terms I will be in the council, I shall do it. "My idea is that a drainage district of this territory can be establish! d and tile drains can be put in which, wiil carry the water no matter how unit h there is. The water could be carried dow n Third street to the Shungaunga or down Klein street to the Kansas river. "The cost would be much less than a sewer. I find that it will cost about ?2 a lot for ten years to put in a com plete system of dra'.mse and I think the people would gladly stand the ex pense if it is no greater than that. A sewer would cost many times more." Councilman Stevens will try to have plans ready for the next council meet ing. He will introduce a measure to estaddssh a draina,g"e district and there is every reason to believe tbat his plan will be approved both by the council men and the people living in the pro posed district, TE III 1 ELL IS ALL RIGHT. I.IissouriansEven Say- They Owe Their Lives to Him. Washington, May 21. United States Minister Terrell is still in Washington In (i.'iiiv consultation with ofiicials of the state department respecting" the condition of affairs in Turkey. Just when he will return to his post, and whether or not it will be necessaiy for him to do so before the expiration of his lave of absence, is a measure de pendent upon the developments at Con stantinople. For some time past there has been more or less talk here, which has al ways been traceable to a very few dis gruntled individuals, to the effect that the au ministration is dissatisfied with Mr. Terrell':-" conduct at Constantinople, but ic can be stated authoritatively that no c hartres have been lodged with Mr. T rrell's superiors, consequently no oiiicia! notice can be taken of this kind of talk. On th contrary it is paid that the forthcoming volume on foreign relations, in that portion devoted to a let dial of events in Turkey last year, will include a mass of unsolicited testi monials by the American missionaries station, d in Turkey, extolling" the min ister for bis energetic eb'orts in the as sertion of tle-ir rights u in some in stall' es declaring that all of th-Tn owe their very lives to his pood judgment and earnest representations to the port? durine the stormy events grow ing out of tiie Armenian massacres. SAW HILL WEST IJV PROXY. Capt. Dan. Wyatt Saw a 21a n Who Had Seen the Outlaw. Capt. Dan Wyatt has returned from Enid, Ok., where he attended the O. A. R. encampment. Capt. Wyatt says that he met a man who had seen Bill West a few days ago. "The gentleman told me." said Capt. Wyatt. "that AVest was riding an old sorrel horse and that he had a piair of six shooters at his belt and carried a Winchester in his hand. Fastened to his saddle was the following sign: "$50 reward for Bob Kepiey or any of his deputies." Capt. Wyatt says that Kansas peo ple had matters pretty much their own way at the encampment. Gen. J. C. Caldwell had a large audience wh-.ch was charmed by his eloquence, said he. and Karncy Kelly made such a rattling speech that I hen rd a woman say that she wanted to toach the hem of his garment. When I sang "Carve dat 'Possum," an old fellow rushed up to me and said: "Why. how do you do. Tom." My name is Wyatt. said I. "Well I'd like to know what right you have to sing Tom Anderson's song," said he half mad. LIGHTS ON JUNE 1. We Eave Col. Burgess' Prophesy that They Will Be Heady. Councilman Rurgess of the Fourth ward thinks that the new electric lights will be in operation not later than June 1. He says that the people will be in a humor to appreciate good lights after the experience of the past two we.-ks. The expert electrician Is here and the work has bet n c ommenced on the foundations for the dynamos and after these are done the placing of the ma chinery will be a small task. There are six car loads of poles to be erer red Four of them are here and the street force is busy putting them in place.

Testivities at 2asbviile to Commemo rate the Admission of the Six teenth State to the Union. Tennessee is to have a centennial. On June 1 just 100 years ago th state was formally admitted to the Union. At tbat time there were only 15 stars iu the field of oar flap, and with the admission of Tennessee the sixteenth one was added. The celebration will be held in Nash ville and will last two days, June 1 and 3.

These exercises were originally plan ned to occur at the opening of a grand exposition similar to that held at At lanta, but the directors of the enter prise found after a few months of work that their plans had assumed such pro portions that it would be. wiser to post pone the exposition until they could ar range for an affair of such magnitude as the coming one promises to be. So the date for the opening of the exposi tion has been fixed for May I, 1897. The exposition buildings are well under way now, and the visitors to Nashville dur ing the centennial celebration next month will get a good idea of what is to be done. The addresses and ceremonies cf the coming celebration will deal largely with the historical features of the event. iVw states have piven to the country so many illustrious names.

Three presidents have conio from, the old Volunteer fc-tate. There was Andrew A. v v i 1 1 b r f i 1 COLONEL JOHN" W. THOMAS. Jackson, dear to memory as "Old Hick cry," the hero cf New Orleans, whose bones now rest at his old home, the Hermitage, near Nashville. James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson also came from Tennessee. The immortal Sam Houston, who jave Texas to the Union, was another sou of the blue grass com monwealth. The orators will review the severe struggle which the early settlers had with the Indians. Twice were the pio neers driven out after they had estab lished homes there, and it was not un til 1T61 that a determined band of men from North Carolina and Virginia plant ed a colopy that was lastinsr. At the close cf the devolution a settlement was made on the Cumberland river at about tho site r.ow occupied by Nashville, From then up to 1 71)6 the tract com prising; the present state was part of the time a separate territory and for awhile formed a part of North Caro lina. In 17"4 a distinct territorial gov ernment was prarited to Tennessee, and two years later if, entered the Union. Of course the thoroughbred will come in for his share of tttention in both the celebration and in the exposition, for tho Tenr.esseeati.s would not feel that pverythln": was jus!- right if there was a fote day and no horse racing was on the programme. They are almost as proud of the records their horses have made ou the track ss cf the careers of their statesmen and patriots. Only a few miles northwest of Nashville is Belle lleade, the most famous stock farm in the world. But this is only one of the many beautiful farms that are scattered throughout- the blue jrrass repioii. On their broad acres have been raised horses whoso names have become household words throughout the Union. Just what provisicn is to be made for exhibiting the product of the stock farms has net yet been decided on, but you may be srxrs that this feature will not be omitted, for the thoroughbred holds as high a place today as it did when President Andrew Jackson used to race his horse Indian Queen. It was in those days that an old Tennessee preacher the Sunday before the great est race ever won by the historic Bel Air w arned his 11, ck in these words: "My good friends, if you don't re pent, you are as certain to gr to hell as Bel Air is to show herself tomorrow to Le the best four mile horse 011 the track. The commission in charge of 310 cen tennial cr-IeLration and exposition is made up of prchiug. energetic men, who have shown that they mean to make a big success of both affairs. At the head of the commission as president is Colo nel Jehu W. Thomas, who is president of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis railroad. He has on the beard as assistants many able and enthusiastic business men, among them being Gen eral W. H. Jackson, who was the origi nal owner of tho Belle Meade farm and who still retains a half interest ia that property, the other half OTned br Kic hard Crcker, the Tarn many chief tain. While the celebration will be largely local, the exposition will be one of national interest. C. T. Bastes. A MAN ONE OFTEN MEETS.! Be Loves to Hear Himself Talk and Hol&a the floor Cnrivaled. Ho iras a short, stout, fussy looking in dividual that shot around the corner right Into Jones' face. "Hello, hello, Jones!" he began rapidly ns he shook hands and fussed about. "How are you how are you? Glad to see you, old boy! How are you, anyway?" Jcnes was a slow spoken man, a mn who had never been known to break the command, "Be siow to speak, in his lifo, and so he began slowly and conscientiously with, "Oh, I'm" But ha was stepped. The garrulous lit tle man's turn had come again, and ho immediately intercepted with: "Wherever have you boon all tiiis time, Jones? My! Why don't you come out sometimes? I haven't seen vou for a month, I believe!" "Well, I've ah" Precisely at "Ah!" the little man took the floor aguin, regardless of Jones' look of surprise, and struck out with: "Why, Jones, you're not looking welll Have you been sick lately?" "No, no, but" Jones had progressed thus far quite smoothly nnd uninterruptedly. He was beginning to feel flushed and victorious, and with a confidence inspired by victory had set Mmscif to work upon tho next word to utter when "My! I've had such a cold myself, do you know," broke in the littlo man again. "Is that" "Why, yes, I've been almost dead with It." "Indeed, that's too too" 'The worst I ever had an awful time for colds, isn't it?" "Yes, I've" "And how's Mrs. Jones?" "Oh, she's" During all this time Jones had been Buf fering: from a severe mental struggle not ns to what ho should pay, hut much rather as to what he should not say. Ha could think of no remark to make that would not lie an expletive, and ho feared an ex plosion might ensue at any moment, but bis fears were groundless. "Dear me!" exclaimed the little man. "Why don't you both drop in and see us? W'e've been looking for you so long! We're almost tired of expoeting you. Why don's you come?" "Oh" "Now, never mind excuses and all that. Never mind just come. We're old friends. I'm awfully giad I met you this morning. Sorry we cannot chat longer, but I'm iu a hurry. Goodby!" and he hurried away, leaving the exasperated Jones gazing steadfastly after him with an air of mel ancholy satisfaction on his countenance and a feeling nkiu to peace in his soul.

MUST HAVE GOOD VATCHI3. The Santa ?e Has a New OfScial Who Will Icsriect Watches. The new rules and regulations in ref erence to tune servic- which go into effect on the Santa Ke June 1 are of much importance to the traveling pub lie. Th.'ir introduction practically means that collisions and all other ac cidents due to differences in time will in the future be unknown on the Santa Fe. Heretofore the inspection of watches of company employes has been in charge of local inspectors, and no at tention given to the grade of watch carried. Variations in time have re sulted from the imperfect system, and as natural consequence accidents have at firo-'S oeonri-.-d as on all other roads. V;y The perfect!!, ss of the new sys tem rj! sir. h ditiiculties are obviated. A gorier.;! inspector, who is thurouc hly ip -'luainted with th.e work, has charce of til0 inspection oi'fr the entire sys tem. The hiclv st srrade of watch man ufactured is designated as the stand ard, and all employes engaged in tlie handling of trams are required to carry si.H ii a. ti:n" pi"ce. The maxlmtim vari ation permitted is thirty seconds per week, and any watch having" a grcarr varoiileii will be considered unreliable and must he replaced. As an additional preve1.-tative of any variance in time, time siarneis will be sent out from this city to ail division points at a stated hour each day.

H iilGHT OF PYTHIAS. Over 200 Couples Dance at Hamilton Hall. ?.Iayor Tellows Arrived With His Address of Welcome. Closing Up tha Session The Parade A-warding of Prizes. Last night was a night of Pythias and a jolly one. It was the breaking up of the en campment that has spent three happy days in Topeka and over 100 couples danced the session out at Hamilton hall. Early in the evening a few addresses were made. Is'otable among- them was the address of welcome by Mayor Fellows. It was a few days late for an address of wel come perhaps, since the meeting was aii over and half the visitors had gone home, but doubtless Mr. Fellows was busy and unable to get around before. Governor Morrill also said a few words and responses were made by Major General Carnahan, TJrigadier General Lyon and K. j. G. White, su preme keeper of records and seals. There were lit! couples in the grand inarch, which started off promptly at y o'clock with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Her ald in the lead. The dancine- party was made tip mostly of people who do not belong- to either cf the Pythian orders. There were a very few uniforms on the floor. PYTHIAIfS IN LIN3 Topeka Contributes 350 Knights to the Parade. An experienced and observing man who t as on the street yesterday must have known that a parade was com i n sr. Karly in the afternoon processions of haPy carriages IteLtan coming in from dtiTerer.t parts of town and blockading the sidewalks and there were dull mutter-hats of threatening- rain. Without these two important factors a parade day would not lie a success. Several thousand p-oople saw the pamJe. The original design of the parade was fairly well followed out. thou-rh there wop only about men in line. T! e business meeting at Rop-resenta-tive hall was not over in time and sev eral hundred members were not in the parade on that account. Abottt iti d tif th.e procession were of the uniform rank and call.-d for great admiration from the ladies along the sidewalks. Marshall's band was well to the front with forty-six men and did pretty well at a inarch itself. Over members of the subordinate lode -s of Topeka took part in the pa i-Hile. The prizes were not awarded until ever in e;. Carlo, ndale got the hicrhost honor, winiiincr hirst prize of J:;o for the lareest number of men in line she had thirty two and second prize for the largest number of aererteate miles traveled. She also tied Lawrence in the i-ont -st for the third rank bell in point of num 1 ers of itrand chanc-Hors, but lost it to Lawrence in the drawinf. Kansas City took second prize for the lareest number of men in line and first prize in the aggregate miles contest. 'iaiei-.a, Weir City and Chetopa di visions were unable to reach Topeka on account of a washout. GIP-AUD I-IEXSTAKE A HIT. Exhibition Drill By luystic Divia ion Was Greatly Admired.

The steam ship, Empress of India, arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama last night bringing news of additional anti-missionary riots. Just before her depart ure details of an outrage on mission aries at Ching Kiang, was received. Mr. Ferguson, of the British Foreign Bible society and Mr. Walker, of the National Bible society of Scotland, left Ching Kiang in their missionary house boat, the Shaftesbury, for the Tichu district. The place had a bad reputa tion among foreigners, so the precau tion was taken to notify the local offi cers throug the British consul of the intended visit. When the boat arrived at Tichu, howt-v.-r, it was attacked by an immense crowd and the crew, see ing th.e state of affairs, deserted. Ferguson and Walker tried to pacify the people but without effect and ill the midst of the riot the former gentleman was shut through the hand, but for tunately the wound was not serious. After some delay an otlieial with ten soldiers appeared but he was powerless are! the only thing to do was for the boat to gradually retreat, which she did. being followed for miies by the na tiv. s. who damaged her considerably. The disturbance was a local one, but for some time the missionaries were in great danger. The matter is now in the hands of tlie British consul at Ching Kiang. who will insist upon immediate redress.

Lee, who was released from the county jail at 8 o'clock, after paying So for having been intoxicated last night, was in jail again at 11:30 on the same charge. He had evidently consumed an entire pint of bad whisky, meanwhile, for he had the empty bot tle. He was arrested in a house on Kan sas avenue near First street where he had wandered in and gone upstairs. He had laid down on the bed beside a sleeping colored baby and one arm was laid caressingly over it while the ven erable judge snored. He was too intoxicated to know his name and was not awakened in being taken to the station. His gold watch was found on the other side of the room. Lee is an unfortunate in that he seems utterly unable to resist the de sire for drink of se.me sort. He craves everything but water and Jader Hop kins who has had experience with him declares he would drink ink if nothing else were handy. Last night he found a bottle of lini ment in the main cell and it was only by the interf erence of other poisoners that he was prevented from drinking it. Jailer Hopkins says that at one time last year when he was in jail sick, he was to be given quinine. Instead of swallowing tlie capsules whole he chewed ttiem and finally insisted on emptying them in water as hot as he could stand it and drinking it in that way. i i i 3 Lee never knows how much money he has. He said this morning that it seemed to him as though he must have S4 or $7 to his credit. Th.e real amount to his credit was over $40. "I think the best thing we could do with Lee," said Sergeant Ellison, "would be to fine him the entire amount of the money he has with him and all pawnable valuables, and hold them un til he is ready to leave town, and then remit them." Lee was fined $7 again this morning. DRIFTING RUDDERLESS. The Boat in Which Three Slen Sailed is Found. Boston, May 21.

A cable to the World from Madrid says: "The Competitor case is not at all likely to disturb the relations between the Spanish and American govern ments," said Premier Canovas in an interview. "The oiiicial relations be tween the two countries." the Premier went on, "have become of late even more cordial if possible than ever while the general relations also are improv ing with the subsidence of popular ex citement on both sides. "The Spanish government is quite sat isfied with the friendly disposition shown all through by President Cleve land, Secretary Olney and the other federal authorities, especially with the fair, amicable tone adopted in the rep resentations made about the Competi tor. "The debate in the American and the Spanish congresses will not materially affect the relation of the two countries. We understand that the executive in America cannot interfere with the free dom of speech of orators, though here in Spain we have the advantage that our ministers present in the cortes can always point out that the government and the minority of the nation are not responsible for the utterances of the opposition members." FOR CHEAPER ICE. Grocers and Butchers Wage Wax on the Frozen "Water Trust. Chicago. May 21. A powerful com bination to wage war on the ice trust formed here this spring was perfected last night at a meeting of the Grocers' and Butchers' association. Nearly 400 business men. customers of the different ice companies, attend ed. An organization, to be known as the Co-operative lee Dealers' company, was perfected and active war was de clared on the ice men. The plan of the grot ers and butchers is to tight the ice m'-n on their own ground by .go ing into the ice business for themselves ami furnishing ice to members of their association for one-half ttie price charged by the trust companies. There are l,2e0 members of the Gro cers' and Butchers association in Chi cago, all of whom will join the co-operative company. As they are among the best patrons of the ice companies their action, it is believed, will be a serious blow to the trust, and especially as the grocers' as sociation has already perfected ar rangements by which it can secure all the ice required for its members and other consumers.

JUDGE II A ZEN" FOR JUSTICE Hia Decision in the Brooks Divorce Case F-endered. "As a cold, hard legal proposition the heirs of this man may be entitled to some of the property, but not when it is considered equitably. I believe that no one wili contend that justice is not on the side of this old lady. And I believe it is my duty to decide this case on the side of justice. You will have to go to some other court to take this prop erty away from this old woman; all sue has in the world, for I will not do it." So sadd District Judge Hazen this morning in overruling the motion for a new trial in the case of Mrs. Amelia Brooks of Topeka, against Mrs. Brooks of Wichita, and the latter's children. Brooks committed bigamy when he married Mrs. Amelia Brooks, in To peka, because Mrs. Brooks No. 1, of Wichita, was still Jiving. Mrs. Brooks Xo. 2 bought some lots in Oakland and built a house on them, and the old gentleman persuaded her, "who could not possibly be more ignor ant of business," Judge Hazen said, to deed the home to the children. The children relied on tile deed and some $1110 they claimed their faciier paid into the place for their claim to the place. That is the reason that Judge Hazen said the children had some law on their side, but he refused to turn old Mrs. Brooks Xo. 2 out of her home to accom modate the children of a bigamist and a rascal. Lawyer O. A. Keach. of the the firm of Keach Dubois of Wichita, pre sented the childrens' motion for a new trial, which the judge overruled. Mr. Keach asked for 00 days to take the case to the supreme court. OLD ..It DD LP HIGH. The Missouri "River is Close to the Danger Line. Omaha, May 21.

And while we believe a ratio which has been sub stantially continued for three-quarters of a century in the most prosperous period of our country's history will prove equally efficient and equally sat isfactory if readopted now, still, when silver and gold are restored to abso lute equality before the law with equal rights in the mints of the nation and as money of final redemption, reasonable experience shall demonstrate that par ity at the ratio aforesaid cannot be maintained. "We pledge the Democracy of Iowa to aid by every means within its power in the establishment of a new ratio, just to all classes of our citizens alike, by which such parity shall be main tained."

WHEAT The news all came deeid ed'y bullish this morning and there was enough crop damage news from Michigan and the northwest to put prices up tern cents a bushel, but it positively refused to be bulled, and early buyers turned heavy sellers when the market started to weaken. It is about time for Armour to come out with another interview regarding dollar wheat and it is thouirht by soine that be will explain that he meant two bushels for a dollar instead of one. We see nothing in the situation to buy wheat on and unless weather con ditions turn unfavorable we believe in selling it on the hard spots indefinitely. Corn, oats and pork were weak 011 heavy realizing and short selling. Today's Range of Prices. Topeka Grain Exchange, 520 Ks. Av,2p. m. Op'n. High. Low. Cl'se. Wed.

Sho used to oema to the back door nearly every morn ing, find after eating the remnants of tho jnatutinal repast would wash the dishes end tidy up tho kitchen. For a quarter she would sweep and dust and wash out the towels. Sho did It all very neatly and well. iiho was youcg and cotaely, though rather Kullen looking. Her hair was smoothly parted, and she always wore on the sur face of her apparel (I say surface advised ly, for a squaw wears ail her wardrobe et once) a clean red or yellow calico skirt and short gown. A wine person would not seek to probe benenth tho surface. A respectable veneer is all that we seem entitled to ask of any creature. As she appeared to be well past the mar riageable aao we (vsked her curiously one morning, "Kllec, have you no man?" "Xo!" repiied JLilen emphatically, her face becoming black and menacing in an instant. "So, I no have nau. Indian wo man fool have man. Now I take care o mysylf and have good time. Have man, have papoose and carry pack on nay Lack all day? No, not yet." "Oho, here is food for reflection I" thought we. "It seems even tho untutored aborigine can put two and two together, and mutiny, if vainly, against her heaven appointed lot." IJut Eli-en's fate was even then visible on tho horizon, which undoubtedly ac counted for her emphasis. It was not so Ions: after her declaration of independence that we saw her on tho street, amid a group of her compeers of both sexes, gisr gling and oeliu; after the most approved fashion of savage flirtation. A bright streak of vermilion down tho middle of her nose and one under each eye set off her brunette style of beauty full ns effect ively as a black patch or two answers the same purpose for a blond. "Aha!" said One of Us to the Other. "Hero is Ellon advertising herself as 'will in' at last." tor that was what the ver milion streaks meant. Savapeshavo such a shockingly crude way of indicating their sentiments. VTa were not invited to the wedding, but there was certainly a honeymoon, fnr .Ellen did not appear at the back door for some weeks, ami on one occasion, when wo were out driving, we met the newly wedded pair saunteriug together, hand in hand, totally oblivious of the Indian custom which relegates the woman to a station a few paces in the rear of her lord. They were quite unabashed by our smiling ob servation, and equally so, which surprised us, at the irruption of a band of their com patriots. But, most surprising of all to us, these latter, instead of guying them, ignored them, apparently by tacit consent leaving the lovers to the undisturbed en joyment of their fleeting elysium. "How idyllic!" said One of Ls. "Yes," said the Other, "and I wonder If, as a matter of fact, it doesn't last just as long as with us. Tho great difference is, when they have done, they don't pre tend." "Pshaw!" said One of TJs, and took it out on the horses, who resented the cut of the whip and gave an opportunity for turning the conversation into other chan nels. Ellon came back presently to the kitchen door. The papooro and the pack were as yet in the futuro, but the formor sullen expression of her face had intensified and hardened. To all our inquiries as to how she liked her new re.ijonsibilities she op posed a stoiid silence, and we concluded that love's young dream vras already o'er. Months pasted by, till one evening the local paper contained an account of a fatal affray the previous evening. Among a lounging, laughing, card playing group of Indians ou tiie plaza one squaw had sud denly attacked another with murderous fury, slashing her face across from temple to chin and chin to temple. The intent had perhaps been only disfigurement, but tho temporal artery had boeu severed and tho woundud squaw had died in a few moments. The other had been hustled away by her peoplo, and the police had cot secured her. It was not probable they over would, for the Indians settle their own affairs among themselves without much interference from their white neighbors. There was co mystery or excitement about the malter, and we scarce gave it a Fecund thought. Wo were about to retire for the Eight, when One of lTs said to the Other: ".Hark! Is that some one knocking at the kitchen door?"' "Or groaning?" suggested the Other. It was both, forKllen was there, .and sho said she was ill. Between paroxysms of pain she begged us to take her in and hide her. "No let tho white policeman have me! I die soon," she entreated. "Xot die in jail. "Old you kill herP" asked the Other. "1 kill her," answered Ellen, and a vin dietivo joy illumined her pain stricken features. "Now he say ho take me and give mo to the white policeman, and by and by soon they hang me In the jail. Xo hang xue I die myself. "Fetch a mattress here," said the Other peremptorily, "and if he comes within a rod of tho house, I'll pepper him with buckshot myself, if you don't." The mattress was brought, and then the doctor. Iillen was a very unsatisfactory patient, as no information about her state could be extracted from her. But the doo tor discovered that her breastbone was crushed in. She would not say how it had happened, but lingered in anguish until the morning before tho end mercifully came. Her last words were, "No die in jail!" lia'.terman Lindsay in San Fran cisco Argonaut. A Tennyson Anecdote. Bord Tennyson, tho late poet laureate, suffered severely at the hands of autograph hunter. Once, at least, the badgered poet nearly scored. A lady (autograph hunters are montly ladies) wrote to ask him not only for his signature, but for "a senti ment." No answer being received, she wrote again. Again there was no response. The indomitable lady wrote a third time. To this sho received sheet of note paper on whhh was written: "A. Tennyson, fcventiment 'Ask me no more.'" The worst of it is that this happy quotation from one of his moit beautiful songs would strengthen the quest of other auto graph hunters if they had only heard of it in time. Loudon News. Too Lato. A dignitary of the Church of England tells this story of his Cambridge days. He is young looking, and always wears a white tie. When he got his fellowship, full of pride and consequence, he went to call upon the master of college. Ho rang the bell, and, when the door opened, was about to present his card, when he was cot short by the footman, wha had run his eyes over him, saying: "All right, young man. You're too late. I got ths place yesterday. Lonaoa Tit-Bit. REPUBLICAN PMDIAIUES.

POPULISTS I'aiz I'i I A Ms Jerry Simpson Has Upset All Their Calculations Ij Refusing to II un for Cou-erressnniii-at-Lar're. It Looks as Though Lewelling "Would Ba Seft Out Entirely. Chairman John W. Breidenthal of the Populist state central eorr.r.iittee is rather disappointed in the refusal of Jerry Simpson to become a candidate for the nomination for congressman at large on the Populist ticket this year. In an interview not long- ago, Chair man Ereidenthal admitted that he was doing all he could to persuade Simpson to be a candidate for the nomination, and though Jerry fiid not take favora bly to the scheme, the chairman had hopes till the receipt of Simpson's let ter the other day that he would change his mind and o into the race. Chairman lireidenthal said last even in?: Jerry told me nl! along- that he would rather be a candidate against Chester Lone than Lick Flue, but I used all my persuasive powers to have him norn inated for congressman at lar,e,e. and now that I have failed, I am somewhat disappointed. Simpson would have been the best man in tiie state for that nom ination, and I would have taken sreat pleasure in seeing him the nominee. "As it is now. there seems to be no candidate eonsid' v, )r, the race for that nomination but Jerry Fotkin. and I have no positive assurance from him that he is trying lor it." Low dliru's name was sucested to the chairman as a possibility for the nomination for congressman at lare, but Mr. Preidenthal said: "I do not think Lew ei'.insr is a candi- date for that place. His friends, some i f them want him to still remain in the race for congressman from the Seventh against Lorn;, but other end more zeal ous and earnest friends of the ex-gov- I ernor say he is not a candidate for any i nomination whatever but that of gov j ernor. Of course these friends may re alize soon that he would stand no show aaainst Harris as a gubernatorial can cudate, and he may go in for something j else." j Chairman Ereidenthal savs there is no candidate for congressional Populist honors in the Third district now that Eotkin is out for congressman at larue, j except J. M. Allen, an Erie. Neosho county, banker, who is said to be strong i with the Populists and who will proba cy ue ine nominee. PP-ICE WANTS PEOMOTIOIT. The Representative From Brown County Would Like to Be Senator. W W Prii.o It..,. 1 the visiting Knignts of Pvthias here j this week. Mr. Price is a representative i rorn i;rovn county m the legislature, i and is now se-ving iiis seeond term. He j j says he is not a candidate for renomi- I nation, though he may be andidate for state senator from his district. The senatorial district of which I Erown is part, also embraces Doniphan i county. King Cy's bailiwick, and as Doniphan n-ov has the senator. J. I). Williamson of Troy, it is Frown's turn for the nomination this vear Several i names are mentioned in conection with I the nomination besides that of Rem-e- seutative Price, -who has not yet f'ullv j 1!'b.ls up his mind to enter the race, j Capt. John Schilling. C'y Leiand's as jsi,tant boss in Frown counts', and ex- state senator, is a candidate and there I are others. j Price is and has been for years an i anti-Leland man. and for this reason, may not stand much of a show if he goes into the race for senator as Lel'and ooul counois i;rown county politics. KANSAS HAS A CANDIDATE. A. C. Jordan I-Iay Be Sergeant-at- Arms of the National Convention. A- C. Jordan, sergeant at arms of the last house of r. pres.-ntativcs has been m Topeka this week aif -r.dina- the grand lodge. -Knignts of Pythias. Mr. Jordan lives in Rice county and is one of the best known politicians in that county. His name has frequentlv boon used in connection with representative from Rice county this .year, but in a conversation with a State Journal re porter. Mr. Jordan says he is not a oan uidate and would not have the nomina tion. Harry C. Taylor of Lyons is a candi date for the Republican nomination for representative in Rice county, and some time ago it was said that Mr. Jordan was opposing the eamiida-v of Tavlor and was in the field himself as a Fur ton canddate. From all indications it would appear that Mr. Tavlor has things prety nearly his ow n w a v now that Mr. Jordan denies being in the tie id. Jordan is a candidate, however for sergeant at arms af the St. Louis' na tional convention, and is in a fair wev to secure place. He will also be a candi date lor his old position in the house next ear. JUDGES SALARIES SHY. The Appropriation For Judicial Salar ies is Exhausted. The district judges of Kansas will be short on salaries for the month of June Ihis is because of a defioie;u v in. the appropriation made by the last legisla ture lor the payment of tile salar?e of the thirty-one judges of the district courts. State Auditor Cole has notified the juuires of the detioienov and has toid them to make out vouchers for their pay. forward them to him, and he will present the matter to the next lPis!a. Fare, asking for an aDDronrhitinn 'i,h which to pay them. The app-opriation made for this pur pose for the two years following the last legislature was $rfi,3.". for each year. There was some redistricting done by tiie last legislature, and quite a number of the judges were legis lated out of their oliiees. According to the constitution, whenever a judge's district is aboliahcd his salary must be paid until the time wlen his ofH.-ial tenure would have expired, and this is one reason w hy there is not a sut'd cient amount to pav ail the judges The total deficiency is $$,457. GILKESON HAS A HARD ROW. Delegates Favoring His Nomination Not Coming: in Fast Enough. Judge Giikeson seems to be having a hard time in his candidacy for appel late judge in the western division, northern department. Judge Giikeson is the present presiding judge of the northern department, having- been ap pointed judge by Governor Morrill im mediately after the passage of the act creating the court. Juijge Giikeson is a Democrat, with leanings toward Populist fusion, and expected to have both the nomination of his own party and that of the Popu- lists. The only county be has secured up to date, however, is his own Demo cratic delegation, that of Ellis. The Populists are talking of David Rathhone of Ellis county as the nomi nee of their party. Mr. Rathbone is a well known lawyer of Hays City and is expected to get the Ellis county Pop ulist delegation and several others. PEIES3 INIZSCEEED FOH Hi: And Fred Pratt "Will be Released From the Reformatory. Governor Morrill has signed a com mutation which will release Fred Pratt from the Hutchinson reformatory. The governor was led to do this upon the r "commendation of Judge S. R. Peters, chairman of the reformatory board. Pratt was convicted of grand larceny from Clay county in November, 1MI2, and was sent to the penitentiary for a term of five years, and was recently transferred to the reformatory. His work and conduct are said to have been excellent, and not a single complaint has been made against him during his term of sentence. His health is now broken down and be is an invalid. For all these: reasons Governor llor riil commuted his sentence. HESSIAN FLY AND WHEAT. Half the Crop Estimated to Be De stroyed in Blichigan. Detroit, May 21. Reports of the de struction of growing wheat by the Hessian fly continue more alarming. The insects have made the heaviest ravages in the most prolilic of the wheat growing regions in southern Michigan, but their operations extend all over the peninsula. It is estimated that at least half the wheat crop of the state will be de stroyed. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. There is to be a dance at the asylum tonight. Cyclones are fashionable. They are high rollers. The new cement floor at the city prison is done at last. On account of the parade there was no police court yesterday afternoon. Councilman Stevens beat a bass drum in Marshall's band for seven years. The price of coffins in Topeka has been reduced to $1.4S. Now is the time to die. For the first time in weeks there is no lodge or convention or meeting in town today. Lee Jones has a new horse. He is as tall as an elephant and weighs 1.D00 pounds. The balcony at the city building is the most popular place in the city dur ing a parade. Tiie Murphy temperance meetings continue at the First Presbyterian church during the week. Governor Morrill will move into his new rooms just as soon as the balance of his new furniture arrives. Sheriff Kepley wears a very small p-old star bearing the word "sheriff." which was a. present from Mrs. Kep ley. The latest trick in the district court is to turn the clock ahead when ready to open court and the time hasn't ar rived. Tax Commissioner J. C. Cooper of the Rock Island read a. paper last night on aluminum before the Philosophical- so ciety. "Eud" Ferryman of the state treas urer's otiice is in Stockton getting in his political work at the senatorial con vention. In the parade A. E. Jones, drum maj or of Marshall's, looked as though he were in insufferable agony with his tall shako tin. Paul and Tracy Learnard of the Law rence Journal have been Topeka visit ors, being- in attendance at the Knights of Pythias grand lodge. At one time last evening three fakirs and the American Volunteers held "open airs" on the two east corners of Sixth and Kansas avenues. People are considerably surprised to see the state house elevator running. The general impression was that it was made to look at and not to use. Mr. Frank P. MacLennan, editor and proprietor of the State Journal and Mr. Dell Keizer, manager of the Capital were guests at the Associated press banquet described in our dispatches to da y. An out-of-town man watching the pa rade was heard to remark: "It seems as though Topeka cannot have any thin? going on without having Mar shell's band in it. Well, it's a. good thing." The water shoots off the eaves of the court house as though there were no caves troughs there. The gutters are hung directly below the eaves. Some body made a bad guess. E. Romley of 1317 Kansas avenue un doubtedly owns the oldest bible in the city. It was printed in 1545 and bears the endorsement of Martin Luther. The bible is printed in German and is in an excellent state of preservation. Topeka has more rising people in the theatrical line than any town in the west. At least five Topeka young peo ple have played with first class com panies of their kind in the past year, two of them having taken leading parts. A Topeka woman who rode down street in bloomers hist evening was considerably embarrassed by a gamin who yelled, "Get onto the bloomers." A young man who stood near didn't know the woman, but he promptly slapped the gamin. Notiee. My wife specially charged me to thank all those friends who remem bered her with flowers and other tokens of kindness during her illness. I desire also on behalf of our children and for myself to express our gratitude to all who sympathized with us in our affliction and did what they could to share the burden which fell upon us. A. S. EM B REE. Collingsworth Runs a Hotel. John Collingsworth, well known In this city, is in his element at Lamed, Kan., where he has leased and fitted up in a sumptuous manner and leading hotel of the town: "The Hotel Grand."

Collingsworth is also manager of the Earned base ball club and expects to advertise the town, and win all the games in western Kansas. SINGING AGAIN. irs. J. 31. Hill Able to Con tinue Her Iiisic. Prof. Saixinels Cures Bart Case of Catarrh Tliat Was Threaten ing Serious Results. There seems to be no limit to the achievements of science. Medical men have recently been investigating on the line of injecting medicine into the blood instead of giving it through the stom ach, and it is claimed that these exper iments have been rewarded by the dis covery of a sure cure for tuberculosis. There is in Topeka. an oculist who for some time has worked on the theory that the proper medicine applied to the nervous system through the eyes would also work wonderful results. That he is not mistaken is proved by the fol lowing case: A.bout the middle of last February Mrs. J. M. Hill came to Prof. Samuels to be cured of a bad case of catarrh. She first took the grip about six years ago, which left her head and throat very much atfected. Various doctors and catarrh remedies were used, but the disease seemed all the while to grow worse. As she expressed it, "there seemed constantly a lump in my throat and my head seemed perfectly raw in side." She also lost considerable flesh and her color was that of wax any thing but natural. A prominent Topeka physician advised a surgical operation as the only remedy, but as several of her friends had taken similar treatment without beneiit she declined. Last fall she began to take vocal lessons of Prof. Leib, and, although her voice was always sweet and clear, she soon found it was becoming affected by the disease. Rut she kept on until the first of last February, when she grew so bad that the professor told her she might as well quit until she got the catarrh cured. To a reporter Mrs. Hill said her singing was the same as her talking the regular catarrh voice. The high notes could not be reached at all scarcely and even the low ones very im perfectly. As she had tried almost everything else and failed she concluded to go to Prof. Samuels. He treated her as he does ever one else, entirely through the eyes, and the result has been entirely satisfactory. To a reporter Mrs. Hill said she was delighted so far, and be lieved in a few days she would be en tirely well. The lump in the throat dis appeared soon after the treatment be gan, and but for the present bad weather she thinks by" this time the head would have been entirely healed up and clear. On the first of May she ias able to continue her music with a perfectly i atural voice. Prof. Leib seemed perfectly surprised at tiie change and insisted on learning all the details of tiie rema.rkab!e cure. Rut the change in her physicjue has been al most as marked as that in her voice. Her cheeks are now rosy with the glow of health and shewTeighs several pounds more than when she began. Ir. Hill is tiie foreman of the press room at the state printing house and they reside at 634 Monroe street. Prof. Samuels' office is at 600 Kansas avenue, over the Hub clothing store.

Mote, who undertook to run a base ball club in Topeka last year, is taken from the Colorado Springs Gazette: H. T. Mote, who came here from Kan sas to take charge of the ball team, has departed between two days. He left Sunday night and as he owed the members of the team considerable mon ey they had the police arrest him.

The present membership is 458 and the number of stockholders 140. The fin ances had been brought to a most sat isfactory condition. The revenues had been steadily maintained at their maxi mum, while the expenses had been re duced. The monthly margin of excess of re ceipts over exrenses had not only been maintained since the last quarter of 1S95, but had more than doubled in amount. As a result a dividend of 10 per cent of the principal of the ad vances on the guarantee fund had been paid. The board congratulated the members of the great progress made during the year toward the accom plishment of the original and proper purpose of the Associated Press. the control and administration of the news gatheres and distributing business of the country by the newspapers of the country.
