M Ax TUESDAY EV:OtO. TOPEKA, KANSAS, APRIL, 6, 1897. TWO CENTS. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. Li CITY ELECTION. Toting is Slow and Little Inter est is Taken. Some Liveliness in the Wards Where Women Hun FOR SCHOOL BOARD. C. A. Fellows Will Easily Be Elected Major. Mr. Billard Putting Forth Terj Little Effort. As usual when there is practically no contest, very little interest is being taken in the election today. The judges and clerks are devoting the greater part of their time to story telling and smoking cigars. The only places where there is any thing approaching excitement are in the Fifth and B'irst wards, where there are women candidates for members of the school board on both tickets. In the east precinct of the Fifth ward there were nearly 300 votes at noon, w hile the registration in the precinct is r.ti. Several vehicles were carrying people to the polls, but the work is being done almost entirely in the interest either of P. W. Griggs or Mrs. Robert Steele, the candidates for the position on the echool board. In the west precinct of the First ward the voting has been heavy and there the school board question is responsible for the heavy vote. In the Third precinct of the Third ward, where there were over 1,000 votes at the primary, there were 230 cast at noon. The registration in this pre cinct is 740. There are few workers at any of the polling places. Even the committees appointed by the Commerical club to look after the auditorium proposition at the polls are doing- little. They prob ably think that it is not necessary, but tiie judges at some of the polling places say that some opposition to the propo sition is being manifested, which shows that its enemies have not been idle. Every one says that the auditorium proposition will carry, though some say the majority will not be so large as anticipated There is no doubt of the victory of the entire Republican ticket, though the most sanguine supporters admit th-it there is a possibility that Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Hamrick will be elect ed as members of the school board, as their names appear on both tickets. Occasionally a Populist is sesn who. professes to think that Billard will be elected mayor, but there is really no ground for such a suspicion. Commis sioner of Elections Yount places Fel lows' majority at 300, but it will prob ably be nearer 3.000 if the voting be comes more lively this afternoon, as it probably will. President L. S. Ferry of the city cen tral committee, who made the rounds of the precincts, says that he was as tonished at the lack of organization on the part of the opposition. "The Billard forces do not seem to be organized, and only in one or two places did I find carriages being run. In few places is there anyone to check up the registration. I am satisfied that the entire Republican ticket will be elected by a big majority." There was a rumor this morning that the Billard forces had hired 16 hacks and would go into the fight with a vim, but it was soon found to be a mistake. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Bil lard himself never had any thought that he would be elected, and he has done very little toward swelling his vote. The "Citizens' ticket" has the police force at Its back, but the metropolitan police is not a strong political organiz ation so far as work at the polls. is con cerned. There is an indication that one of the candidates for justice of the peace, A. F. Chesney. will run behind the Re publican ticket. He has not been able to do any work himself on account of a stroke of paralysis received a few days before the piimary. The opposi tion to Chesney is going to J. T. Ward, a Democrat, whose name appears on the Citizens' ticket. It is doubtful if Ward can muster enough votes, how ever, to defeat Chesney. Thtre will probably be not far from 6.000 votes cast in the city. A queer fact was brousTht to light to day which shows that people sometimes neglect themselves while looking after other people. The registration books were left at M. C. Holman's store in North Topeka for several days to facili tate registration, but it was found to day that Mr. Holman had failed to reg ister; he had done faithful work to have other people register, but had forgotten himself. Lawyer F. P. Lindsay was also a vic tim of his own negligence. He went out to Tennesseetown to vote but was refused a ticket when his name wa3 not found on the books. He went to the commissioner's office, thinking that eome mistake had been made, but his name was not to be found. He tried to find a law that would entitle him to a certificate, but failed. The returns will be received tonight In the office of the commissioner of elec tions in the city bo'lding. The ticket Is not large and the count should be completed early in the night. RIGHTMIRE IN ARKANSAS. Interested in a Flourishing Town There Another Topekan There. "W. F. Rightmire, former attorney who left Topeka some months ago and has not been heard of to any great ex tent sinc is now a prominent citizen of the flourishing town of Mena, Ark., and a director of the Golden Mining district of that place. This company owns val uable mineral territory in the vicinity of Mena, and there is promise of its members realizing largely on their in vestments. W. I. Boyer. who formerly owned a feed store on West Sixth street, has al fo taken up his residence at Mena, and is the vice president of the company. At a meeting of the stocKholders of the district, held Saturday, Mr. Rightmire presented a set of new laws for the gov ernment of the miners of that district, hich were adopted. Shirts, collars and cufrs laundered to look like new by Peerless Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 West 8th. si NEVER 'EARD OF HINGALLS Fitzsimmons Refers to John J. In galls Somewhat Lightly- Kansas City, April 6. An ugly good na-tured-looking, red-faced. scant-haired man with an under lip like the scoop end of a coal scuttle and a blue eye as bright as an incandescent light arrived in Kan sas City yesterday afternoon and seem ed to interest the public just about as much well, say, the president of the Un ited States would, if he should arrive properly billed in advance, with bass drum accompaniment. The homely individual, who, by the way was arrayed in a long black Prince Al bert coat that fitted him so reluctantly that it made him look like a case of mis taken identity, is the greatest man in the world that is, the champion of the world which is, of course the same thing. Bob Fitzsimmons, the gentleman whose upper development resembles the business end of a mule, and who dislocated the valves of Jim Corbett' s heart long enough to put him in another world for at least 10 seconds, arrived in Kansas City at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Come one way and come another Fitz simmons has been talked about and writ ten about more during the past few months than perhaps any man in the world and at that it hasn't made an air ship of his head. He is a big, awkward brained and awkward-bodied fellow, who knows little outside the squared circle, and yet the person who sizes Fitzsim mons up for a fool is as far wrong as the man who first said that the owl was a wise bird. It seems odd that Fitzsimmons is not more popular as a champion, for he is a sort ot Abraham Lincoln of the prize ring. There are many strong points about the man besides his fists. For instance, he does not ever remember ever having met John J. lngalls. and he calls the ex senator from Kansas a liar with so much unconcern that it proves him to be a truly a crave man. Then again, Fitz annihilates all carpers aoout cnance wows Dy stating that all knock-out blows are chance blows. Fitzsimmons is a man who undoubtedlv wouid say many sensible things were it not ior tne iact tnat lie has a manager who wishes to do all the talking for him. The Third regiment band was engaged 10 meec me cnampion ot tne world at the depot yesterday afternoon. He and jNirs. fitzsimmons took an open carriage nis io uig oogs iook anotner carnage, and some other people filled up half a dozen other carriages which were in wait ing. The band played on. and the pro cession moved through the principal bus iness streets. There were cheering crowds everywhere. The small boys, many of them about the size of men, followed the carriage. It was a chorus of "There is is!" "That's him!" all the way. The wo men said: "Is that the man who whip ped Jim Corbett?" and the men said: "Well, he's got a pretty good-looking wife anyway." When the party arrived at the Coates House there was such a crowd in the cor ridor that it was with difficulty that Mr. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons crossed the house at all. Fitz seemed to become a little rattled and began to scowl. This was all that was necessary a path was opened. Bib good-natured Bob likes to talg of himself. There is nothing of the churlish ness of John I. Sullivan or the pompous rfiiir,in ui .inn c-uiueu auout tne ugiy duckling. He was an odd-looking fellow, sitting in the parlor of the Coates House yesterday afternoon, with his long thin legs twisted around each other and his big hands spread out in his lap showing the big freckles, more numerous than red chips on the banker's sic1" of a gaming table. He smiled at everytidjsv and talktd freely He talked well, too. when Martin Julian, his manager, did not try to save the champion s wind by cutting in and doing all the talking himself. 'Fitz has no more use for an H than an Irishman has for a snake, and he drops them evervwhere. Of course he talked about his famous victory. "And do you know," said he, 'e never 'ad me goin' for a minute. In that sixth round 'e 'ad me bleedln' a bit from th' lip and th' bloody nose, but hit wasn't 'urtin' me a bit. 'E's a stiff puncher, is Corbett, but 'e's no knocker-out. I admit that 'e landed some good stiff ones, but I 'ad me 'ed with me hall the time, hand 1 never was a bit fretted. Corbett 'as not the steam to do the trick: that's hall there his to hit. Why, all th' time I was givin' the gang in my corner tips that I ad 'im. "Of course they say that it was a chance blow that landed Mm. Well that's all right. Hall knock-outs are chance blows, in a way. You can keep slinging hit up against a man's jaw. for hinstance and he s winkin' and smilin', and then you get one hin th' same place, han 'e's gone. Hit was a chance blow, maybe, but you had to get it there. "This Hingalls 'as said that I told him that it was an haccident that I knocked corbett out 'e's a liar. I don't remem ber raeetin Hingalls hat all. Of course I jolly, and after the tight all the dubs were alter me. and I give 'em all the jollv. Mmgalls might have come up. and I might have said, 'well, it were another chance blow, eh? same as 'd said to 'em all, but 1 swear I can t remember meeting any such man hat all." A SHOW OF STRENGTH Will bo Made by Gold Democrats at the Reform Club Dinner. New York, April 6. The Herald this morning says: Former President Cleveland, John G. Carlisle, former secretary of the treas ury, and William Wilson, former post master general, will be among -the guests at the dinner to be given by the Reform club at the Waldorf on Saturday evening, April 24. Between 5.000 and 6.000 leading Democrats will attend and the affair is likely to make democratic history. In connection with this gathering it is proposed to hold a conference of gold standard Democrats in this city. Invitations are being sent out to leaders of the gold faction in the various states and the conference, it is expected, will last for two days. It will be held in Chieker ing hall April 23 and 24. The gold Democrats are beginning to realize that the whole free silver issue has got to be fought out again within their ovn party and they are getting ready to organize for the battle. The leaders of the gold Democratic move ment in this and other cities have been in correspondence for a week with ref erence to the advisability of having a demonstration here at an early day which shall show that they are not dead yet and that they are going to meet the issue which Is still being forced upon them. The approaching dinner of the Reform club will give them an opportunity for this demon stration. WEBSTER DAVIS' JOB. Will be Given Second Assistant Un der Thomas Ryan. Washington. April 6. From the best information obtainable the place that will go to W'ebster Davis of Kansas City is assistant secretary of the in terior. Mr. Davis and his friends re fuse either to confirm or deny the re port, but this is believed to be the place tendered him by the president. The "assistant secretary of the in terior" is, in reality, second assistant, Thomas Ryan of Kansas having al ready been appointed "first assistant." The salary will be $4,500. with an al lowance for certain expenses. ELDORADO Work on the telephone line is being rushed by the new com pany. Already they have 60 subscribers- HARRISON LEADS. Indications Point to Election of Free Silver Candidate, Carter Harrison II, as Mayor of Chicago. BETS IN UIS FAVOR. Independent Candidate Harlan Captures the Swedes. Populists Working for Harri son at the Polls. Chicago, April 6. "With raw, threat eningr weather, one of the liveliest mayoralty contests ever seen in Chi cago is taking place today. Of the seven candidates in the field, four are considered to have at least a fighting chance for election. They are Carter H. Harrison, regular Democrat; Judge Nathaniel Sears, regular Republican; Washington Hesing, gold Democrat and business men's nominee, and John M. Harlan, Citizen Independent. On ac count of the strong fight which has been made against the so-called Re publican machine, it is conceded that both Hesing and Harlan will draw heavily from Sears' strength. Harrison is running on a "wide open" platform and is expected to receive nearly all of the free silver vote. He is the favorite in the betting. National issues have been ignored almost entire ly by all the candidates. "Voting was light during- the early morning, but grew heavier as the day wore on, and long lines formed at many of the polling places, with the excep tion of the tenement house districts, Voting as a rule progressed slowly, in dicating that considerable scratching was being done. Chief of Police Badenoch gave strict orders to close all saloons and the rule was rigidly enforced, several saloon keepers who opened their doors being arrested immediately. Harlan, Independent, developed un expected strength in the Swedish dis tricts of the Thirteenth ward and also in the stock yards districts. A pretty aldermanic contest is going on in the Twelfth ward, where "Jim" Campbell Is up for re-election. The Municipal Voters' league, the reform organiza tion which is trying to reconstruct the city council, is making its most bitter fight against him and confidently ex pects to defeat him. Campbell, if elected, hopes to be chairman of the finance committee of the city council. Six or eight thousand Populists under the directiixn or the Harrison campaign committee are acting as watchers at the polls to see that every Populist vote is cast for Harrison. They are fur nished with badges and certificates from the board of election commission era. This afternoon reports from all over the city Indicated a total vote or be tween 275.000 and 290.000. The vote last fall was a little over 354,000. Galesburg, 111., April 6. The annual municipal election is in progress today. The day is cloudy and threatening and a light vote will be polled.

The day opened clear and cool, with a prospect that these conditions would prevail all day. There are three tickets in the field for a full set of municipal officers and the contest is a hot one. The Republicans, with Henry Ziegenhein up for mayor, divide the honors with two Democratic factions. Edwin Harrison head3 the regular Democratic ticket and Lee Merri weather is the nominee for mayor on the other ticket, put up by disgruntled Democrats. Each ticket contains a proposition for an increased tax for the erection of a free library building. By 8 o'clock at least half the ballots in some of the wards had been cast and the piospects are that the vote counted tonight may be as heavy as that cast at the last national election. Fusion at Kansas City. Kansas City, April 6. Intense inter est is being displayed at the polls across the line in Kansas City, Kan., where a full city ticket is being voted for.

Chicago, April 6. Fifty secretaries of the building and loan associations rep resenting thousands of depositors and millions of capital, met at the Sherman house last evening. They gathered to devise a plan which would prevent fur ther defalcation of officers and restore public confidence in building and loan associations. It was unanimously agreed that the recent troubles .reflected no discredit on building associations as such and that more stringent legislation and economi cal administration of affairs would pre vent a recurrence of the recent failures. As a first step to bring about a better state of affairs, it Was decided to organ ize a federation of societies, and a com mittee was appointed to draft a consti tution and by-laws for such an organi zation. A number of the secretaries present favored an association of the societies on the lines of the bankers' clearing house, governed by a sort of board of control, to which no society would be admitted except after a thorough exam ination of its standing.

Tisits His Successful Opponent at the White House. President Takes Him to His Private Office. GOES OVER TIIE HOUSE Mr. Bryan Takes a Stroll Through Executive Mansion. Tells Reporters That Yester day's Elections Indicate That Confidence Had Been Restored. Washington, April 6 There were some important callers at the White House this morning, before the cabinet assem bled at 11 o'clock. First came Senator Hanna of Ohio, who had just returned from Cleveland where he went to cast his vote at the municipal elections yesterday. He was with Mr. McKinley half an hour. While Mr. Hanna was still in the White House, Mr. Bryan the late Democratic candidate for president, called with Rep resentative McMiilin of Tennessee and Attorney General Smythe of Nebraska to pay his respects to his late opponent. They were immediately shown into Mr. McKinley's private office. The president who was talking with a group of gentle men, advanced and the president and the candidate shook hands cordially. Mr. Bryan remarked upon the president's ap parent good health and the latter spoke of the fact that he had seen by the news papers that Mr. Bryan was here to argue a case before the supreme court. He al so said he had received a copy of Mi. Bryan's book a few days ago but as yet hadn't time to read it. "There is no law which compels you to read it," remarked Mr. Bryan smiling. After a further exchange of courtesies and pleasnatries. Mr. Bryan retired. He expressed a desire to be shown through the White House and Doorkeeper Dubois conducted him through the various par lors and the conservatory. In the main corridor just as he was emerging he met Mrs. McKinley acknowledged his salute with a smile, but it is doubtful whether she recognized him. On the portico while awaiting the ar rival of the carriage in which he had driven to the White House. Mr. Bryan was beseiged with newspaper men who asked for his views on the Ohio and Mich igan elections yesterday. "They Indicate that confidence has been restored," ho said, laughing heartily. BRYAN IN COURT. Slakes an Argument Before the Su preme Court Today. Washington, April 6. The supreme court room and the corridors without were crowded today with spectators attracted by the appearance of Wm. J. Bryan as counsel in a case. Two lines of people, many of them ladies, waited outside of the door after the court room had been filled, and when Mr. Bryan appeared at noon they applauded him. The case on hearing involved the con stitutionality of a law of the state of Nebraska enacted April 12, 1893. en titled "An act to regulate railroads, to classify freights, to fix reasonable maximum rates to be charged for transportation of freights," etc. Several railroad companies were ar rayed against the state board of trans portation, the Union Pacific railroad heading with James Carter as chief counsel. It was the contention of the railroads that the purpose of the legis lature was not to fix the maximum rates to prevent extortion, but to com pel the roads to carry goods upon such terms as the farmers of Nebraska could afford to pay. The case was appealed by the state board of transportation from the United States circuit court for the district of Nebraska, and Mr. Bryan was associated with the attor ney general of the state. Mr. Bryan, in beginning his argu ment, said that it was unfortunate that there was no established rule by which the court was to determine what were reasonable rates. It must be pre sumed, however, that a legislature in fixing what it held to be reasonable rates acted in good faith. Mr. Carter held that there were three kinds of rates, reasonable, not reason able and unreasonable, leaving a space in which motive could act, but Mr. Bryan contended that there were but two kinds of rates, reasonable and un reasonable, and that a court in passing upon rates could not consider the mo tives of the railroad; a company which erred must suffer the consequences. "A railroad is," he said, "to a certain ex tent, a monopoly and the people cannot depend upon the laws of competition to protect them from the exactions of a monopoly." In deciding what was reasonable rates, he argued, a court must not base them on the original cost of the road or on its stocks and bonds but on its present value. Farmers and storekeepers whose property fell in value could not charge higher rates not having a monopoly, not being able to water stocks and bonds. When he came to discuss the rights of corporations. Mr. Bryan became some what oratorical. He said: "If a few cor porations can secure a monopoly and not be governed by the same rules as others the people are the victims of those mon opolies. "The rights of citizens to reasonable rates is as sacred as those of railroads to reasonable profits. "The court cannot assume that indivi duals would raise up in their midst a fictitious individual, a corporate person age and endow it with rights higher than those of the creators." Mr. Bryan argued that courts should not protect stock and bondholders in at tempts to secure profits on fictitious capi talization. The stock and bondholders was presumed to Invest with his eyes open if he made a mistake it was no duty of a court to protect him from the consequence of that error. The states were legislating to prevent ficti tious capitalization, they encouraged it and nullified the policy of the statutes. If the courts held that corporations must take their chances like individuals in business, they would become interested in and work for" those things which would tend to promote the general welfare. He added: "If there be some who can exempt themselves from general condi tions, there is a temptation to them to endeavor to perpetuate those conditions." In concluding he declared tnat tne peo nle who cave value to a road by using it. were as much entitled to consideration as those who contributed to build It, else there was no equality for citizens before the courts. Mr. Bryan spoke until 2 o'clock, and when he finished the crowd swept from the court room witn a rusn. ROOSEVELT CALLED. Theodore Roosevelt is Named for As sistant Secretary of the Navy.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE Will Go to Congre3s Asking Relief for Flood Suflerers. Washington, April 6. The cabinet meeting today lasted a little over an hour and was devoted almost entirely to the consideration of the question of sending a special message to congress calling attention to the propriety and urgency of legislation for the relief of the flood sufferers.

A runaway took place at Eighth and Kansas avenue at noon today and the excited spectators turned away expect ing to see the driver of the team dash ed to death on the pavement or crush ed beneath the wagon. The owner of the team and wagon was P. B. Chad wick who lives east of this city. Frank Edson was the only man who got close enough to the team to grab a bridle. He seized one horse but only for a moment. He was hurled into the air, and landed on the pavement, then picked himself up and limped into the store. He was not much injured. The wagon was smashed to pieces at the corner of Eighth and Jackson street and Mr. Chadwick thrown out. When picked up he was found bruised about the hips and back, and his face was cut and bleeding but no bones were broken. Mr. Chadwick is very nearly if not quite 60 years old. Mrs. A. S. Huling of this city Is Mr. Chadwick's daughter. SHUT UP SEVEN HOURS In an Air Tight Compartment Ensign Stone Nearly Loses His Life. New Tork, April 6. For seven hours Ensign G. L. P. Stone of the coast de fense battle ship Puritan fought for air and life in a water-tight compartment of that vessel last Saturday. The story of his narrow escape from death by asphyxiation in the foul atmosphere was told today for the first time. The ensign was placed in charge of a squad of five men detailed to descend into the double bottom of the Puritan and inspect and clean it. When the men came out they closed all the hatch es, not knowing that Stone had been left behind in one of the compartments. Seven hours later a man heard a faint tapping on one of the hatches. He lis tened and it was repeated more faintly. He reported it and then it was realized that it might have come from Stone, who had been missing for sometime. The screws were removed and the hatch lifted. At the very mouth of the opening they saw the white, upturned face of the ensign. He had pressed his lips close to the metal cover of his prison In his efforts to obtain fresh air. He was half unconscious, but still had sufficient presence of mind to cling to the ladder. In one hand, tightly grip ped, was a shoe which he had removed and it was with this that he had rap ped for hours on the ceiling of his cell. STAMPEDE IX FARGO. High Water Drives Hundreds of Peo ple From Their Homes. St. Paul. Minn., April 6. A Fargo, N. D., special to the Dispatch says: The situation is appalling. While the Red river rose only three inches last night, the Big Coule, west of this city, took a second spurt and went up 14 inches, flooding the entire west side of town and driving hundreds of people frem their homes. The water reaches down to Eighth street from Sixteenth street, and as far south of the Northern Pacific tracks as the eye can reach. It is a populous residence district, and the effect of the flood is most forcibly felt. All that part of the city south of Front street is inundated. The water works at the reserve sta tion were compelled to shut down and pumps were started. It snowed this morning. BRATE FELLOW HURT. Seeks to Quiet a Horse Driven by Ladies and His Ankle Broken. Gus Rundt. formerly water service foreman at the Santa Fe shops, was severely injured this noon at theK"ansas avenue bridge as he was attempting to quiet a horse which two ladies were driving across the bridge.

FIGHT GROWS HOT Webb McNall Now Sued Tor $20,000 Damages By the Jlillmon Insurance Com panies for His Action INSIIUTTIXG THEM OUT Similar Suits Will Probably Be Brought. Companies Open Up With Grape and Canister. McNall, as Yet, Shows No Sign of Fear. The fight between Insurance Commis sioner Webb McNall and the life insur ance companies took another turn to day, when the New York Mutual Life Insurance company, one of those ex cluded from the state by Superinten dent McNall, commenced suit for $20, 000 damages in the United States cir cuit court against Mr. McNall and hia bondsmen. The suit is brought by Gleed, Ware Gleed, Geo. J. Barker, J. W. Green and and W. R. Smith as attorneys for the company, and Mr. Gleed said this after noon that similar suits will probably be brought by the two other companies Interested, the New York Life and Con necticut Mutual. The petition filed charges that Super intendent McNall excluded the New York Mutual from the state for the purpose of forcing the collection of the "contingent fee" by the attorneys in the Hillmon case. It characterizes the Hillmon suit as fraudulent and says that the superintendent, McNall, is a close personal friend of the attorneys for Mrs. Hillmon. It is charged that McNall acted wrongfully, and for that reason his bondsmen are sued. The company has been kept out of Kansas since March 3 and it is claimed that $10,000 in profits were lost in consequence. The compa ny says that it has been compelled to support a large number of agents in the state since the order went into ef fect, and this item of expense is placed at $5,000. The balance of $5,000 claimed is for lapses in policies and other incon veniences the company has been put to because of McNall's action. The suit is brought against the fol lowing parties: Webb McNall, W. H. Haskell, Geo. R. Parker. Henry Wil liams, L. C. Uhl, R. M. Pickler, D. M. Relihan, H. C. Smith, J. H. Detwiler, Lair Dean, P. I.

When the two men entered the door Mr. McNall said: "Good morning gentlemen. Do you want a hearing this morning?" "We hoped to see you in jail today, but being disappointed we concluded to call upon you," rejoined Mr. O'Bry an. "Well, what can I do for you," said the superintendent. "I desire," said Mr. O'Bryan. "to again make a tender of $104, the license fee which you returned to our com pany, refusing to accept it, and issue a license authorizing them to do busi ness in Kansas." "Did vou think I would accept it, "said Mr. McNall. "I did not know," replied O'Brvan.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 189T. MIGHIGANIS FIRM Republicans Held the State in Yesterday's Election. Silver Made Larger Gains in the Southern Part. DETHOIT DEMOCRATIC Maybury Elected Mayor by 10, 000 Majority. McKinley Majority Greatly Re duced in the State. Detroit, April 6. Returns from the state indicate the re-election of Judge Chas. D. Long, Republican, as justice of the supreme court and the defeat of George L. Yeple, fusion candidate. Chas. D. Lawton and William J. Cocker, Republican candidates for re gents of the University of Michigan are also elected. The vote was light and the free silver sentiment was shown in several cities more strongly than in the Novembtr election. This appears to have been especially true in the south ern tier of counties. In a few cases on the votes for city offices, the Republi can majorities of last fall were turned into fusion victories. As usual the re sult as to local officers is considerably split up politically. Detroit, April 5. William Maybury, (Dem.),as elected mayor yesterday by about 10,000 majority over Capt. Albert K. Stewart, Republican. In view of Mr. Maybury's victory it is considered surprising that Judge John Miner, Dem ocratic candidate for police justice, was defeated by Judge Albert F. Sellers, Republican, who was re-elected by a majority fully equal to that received by Maybury. Estimates, based on returns thus far received from the state, give Long up wards 20.000 for supreme court justice. The Republican candidates for regents of the university were elected by prob ably somewhat smaller pluralities. Long ran ahead of his ticket generally. McKinley's majority was about 58.000. Ringree's for governor was about 20,000 more. Lansing, Mich., April 6. The Repub licans elected Davis for mayor by 21 majority, a loss of 80 Republican votes. The silverites elect three aldermen and city clerk. The Republican state ticket has a plurality of 119. CLEAN SWEEP FOB DEMOCRATS They Elect Everything" in Cincinnati Making Large Gains in Repub lican Wards. Cincinnati, April 6. The election in Cincinnati yesterday was for mayor and other city officers and members of the board of education. The Republi can ticket was headed by Levi C. Good ale for mayor and the Democratic tick et by Gustave Tafel. The latter was elected by a plurality of 7.320. The city gave McKinley a plurality of almost 20,000 last November and Caldwell, Re publican, for mayor three years ago 6.755 plurality. The ticket headed by Gus Tafel was victorious throughout the lowest plurality being for E. O. Shelby, for city treasurer, who received only 309 plurality and against whom a fight was made on account of the con struction of the waterworks and for other items. An unusually large vote was cast. The issue here was on Geo. B. Cox who has been recognized as a boss in the city and county politics for years and a controlling factor in state politics. The ticket headed by Goodale was named by Cox, and the issue was made against it as a Cox ticket. The Democratic gains were made in the Republican wards. HASll'ORD WENT REPUBLICAN Stamford Goes for Silver by a Majori ty of 1,700. Hartford, Conn., April 6. The Repub licans elected 16 of the 20 aldermen cho sen in the city yesterday. The Repub licans made a clean sweep in Bridge port. Taylor, Republican, for mayor, having 1.000 plurality. Stamford elected W. J. Bohannon. sil ver Democrat mayor, by 1,700 majority over Oliver G. Fessenden, Republican. The council is five Republican to four Democrats. The gold and silver Dem ocrats united. Democratic Gains in Cleveland. Cleveland, April 6. Returns indicate that McKisson. Republican, for mayor is elected by 1,000 to 1,500 majority, over Farley, Democrat. A Democratic gain of about 2,000 over the vote of last fall. TO HATE A BICYCLE TRACK Wheelmen of Topeka Want to Estab lish One. The annual election of officers in the Topeka Athletic association wheelmen was held last night at the association rooms, being attended by about 50 mem bers. The club has recently been incorpora ted and in accordance with the state law the members elected the five direc tors who in turn selected the officers for the ensuing" year. The directors named for the ensuing year are as follows: B. C. Heyman. W. W. Carr, Morris Schle&le, A. E. Hick erson and J. 15. Doncyson. The directors thereupon elected the fol lowing officers: President. S. C. Heyman. Vice president. Morris Schlegrle. Secretary-treasurer, A. E. Hickerson. Captain, Arthur Gr. Sheer. Lieutenant. Webb Stevenson. Representative to division board, II. G. JLescher, re-elected by the club. J. B. Doncyson presented his scheme to tiave a new track built at Garfield park, as has been previously outlined in the Journal, and asked the co-operation of the members of the club in assuring- suc cess for the undertaking. Air. Doncyson said "We have been working on this project for several years and I think we now have better opportunities than ever be fore to carry it to a successful termina tion. There is no question that we need a track and there is no question, in my opinion, that the wheelmen of this city will co-operate in building it.' H. 13. Crosby, H. G. Lescher. "W. C. P Heiehenbach. "William Hodson, Morris Stevenson and ot hers supported the pro position and urged that it be taken up. The board of directors of the club were then Instructed to negotiate with the owners of the park, semtre estimates on the grading of the track, construction of training quarters, the erection of a grand dtand and other conveniences and ordered to report within 30 days to a mass meet ing of wheelmen of Topeka. This meeting will be called in due time and every bicyclist in town will be in vited to attend and help in the promo tion of the new track scheme. Cheap Traveling1 This Spring.

GAGE STARTS THE MACHINE Makes Preparations for Collecting New Duties ITrorq April 1. Washington, April 6. The secretary of the treasury has issued a circular of instructions to custom officers through out the country, carrying into effect sec. 27 of the pending tariff bill. This section requires the secretary of the treasury to make provisions for the collection .fit increased rates of duties contemplated by the bill, and with that view he is required to retain samples of goods purchased and imported after April 1. lbS7, and prior to the date on which the bill becomes a law. The cir cular is addressed to collectors and oth er officers of the customs and says: "Under the authority conferred upon the secretary of the treasury by section 249, revised statutes, chief officers of customs are hereby instructed to delay, until further orders, final liquidation of entries, made at the respective ports, of any merchandise arriving there on or after the f.rst day of April, 1897. But the liquidations may be tentatively made and such liquidations shall not be closed and stamped, but shall be open during the pendancy of this order so as to be amended or corrected if necessa ry. "These directions shall not be applied, however, to any entries made after April 1, 1897, of merchandise which was purchased and directed by the owner to be shipped for import into the United States by a person prior to April 1, 1SU7. "Mere-after all entries for collections except those specified in the preceding paragraph, shall be stamped in red ink by the clerks respectively, passing the same under the direction of the collec tor 'subject to change of rates if re quired by law.' "Appraising officers will, however, if practicable, retain such samples of im ported merchandise as may be necessa ry to determine any question hereafter 1 arising relative to the proper identifi cation and classification for duty from such merchandise. "(Signed:) L. J. GAGE, "Secretary." FOREST RESERVATIONS. Correspondence Showing How They Came About Submitted to the Senate. "Washington, April 6. The secretary of the interior has sent to the senate the correspondence of the forest reser vations in the western states. The most important document of the series is a letter from Secretary Francl3 to President Cleveland, dated February 6, recommending the creation of these res ervations. From this letter it appears that res ervations were selected and the boun daries established upon the recommen dation of the national academy of sci ence which had investigated the matter through a sub-committee of college pro fessors at the instance of Secretary Smith. Secretary Francis' letter shows that he warmly approved the selections made, covering 21,379,840 acres, and that he suggested the issuance of the proclamation on Washington's birth day. He said that the area of the res ervations then proposed would exceed that of all those already established by about 4,000,000 acres, but that "as our public forests are being rapidly denuded and the loss resulting therefrom is in calculable." he did not think the ap parently large area should militate in any degree against the recommendation of the committee. There is also a letter from Secretary Francis to Senator Allison, recom mending legislation permitting mining and prospecting on all forest reserva tions. 31'KINLEY BREAKS DOWN. Exhausted by the Reception of so Many Visitors Ee Closes the Doors. Washington, April 6. The public re ception at the White House yesterday was unusually large. Mr. McKinley stood in line for 40 minutes and shook hands with over 2,000 persons. The strain of seeing so many visitors pri vately and publicly is telling on the president He leaves on Wednesday for a brief rest, accompanied by Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Saxton, Secretary Porter and wife. The president probably will soon change the programme governing visitors to the White House. There is at present practically a con tinuous stream of callers from 10 a. m. until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and some of the most persistent even return at night. It is estimated that Mr. McKinley has given personal audience in the five weeks he has been in the White House to 18,000 persons and has received at the public receptions 18,000 more. The fatigue involved in the present arrange ment was so great that last Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mr. McKinley be came completely exhausted and was forced suddenly to deny admission to anyone. ALLEE SAME MELICAN MAN. Five Thousand Coolie3 Engage in a Strike in China. Shanghai, April 6. A mob of coolies, numbering about 5,000, who struck re cently against an increase of taxes, engaged in an anti-foreign demonstra tion today. There was serious rioting at noon. The volunteers were called out and detachments of marines and sailors were landed to assist the authorities in restoring order. The police eventually forced the cool ies to retire to the French settlement. It is reported that two men were killed during the disturbance. The volunteers and the police are guarding the ap proaches to the English settlement. TO MEET IN MAY. A Number of th.e Grain and Other Business Men of Kansas City. The annual meeting- of the Kansas City grain and trade commerce association will be held in that city May 5 and 6 and a large number of distinguished men identified with the business will be pre sent and make the occasion an interest ing' one. Freight rates will not be the least important subject discussed, as no class of business men are more largely interested in that feature of traffic than grain dealers and shippers as well as buyers. The officers of the association have sent an urgent invitation to Governor Leedy which he has accepted. He has agreed to deliver an address upon some subject pertinent to the obtects of the meeting. He is likely to discuss freight rates. LARGEST OCEAN CARGO. Steamer Cevic Leaves Liverpool With 1 3 ,500 Tons of Freight New Tork, April 6. The White Star line steamer Cevic left Liverpool today with 11,500 tons of merchandise, the largest cargo by 3,000 odd tons that has ever been shipped from the other side for this city. The steamer Bovic broke the former record a year or so ago, when she brought 8,000 odd tons of cargro from the Mersey. The Cevic is due here a week from next Tuesday. The immense shipment is due to the new tariff measure SIBLEY FOR PROSPERITY. The Ex Pennsylvania Congressman rears Tariff Taxation is Not the Panacea. Washington. April 6. Ex-Representative Joseph S. Sibley of Pennsylvania, who, during his career in the Fifty-fourth congress, impressed himself on the nation as one of the ablest and most eloquent advocates of silver, was seen in the lob by of the Shorehara last evening. He is in the finest health, and remarked to a reporter that he enjoyed coming to Wash ington but preferred coming in hispresent capacity as a private citizen, to partici pating in national legislation when thema jority in congress was imbued with such different theories of governmental policy from those he entertained. "But I sincerely trust," said Mr. Sibley, "that the Republicans will be able to make good their platform pledges and give prosperity to the country. If they do they will remain in control not only for four years, but for 40, perhaps, if their legislation Is productive ofcontinued good results. If they do not, they will hear from the people in 3900. For myself I doubt their ability to redeem the pled ges made in l&bQ; I do not think that a nation can be made prosperous by taxa tion any more than one individual can, and I say this as one who never held to the dogma of free trade, but always ad vocated a tariff that would provide suf ficient revenue to meet the national ex penses and adjusted so as to confer equal benefits to all the people. But of what benefit is the tariff if the great agricul tural sections are not able to buy the pro ducts of the manufacturer? No doubt on the enactment of the law many fires will be lighted in furnaces now idle, and things will hum for awhile at least in many mills and factories. "This will come about, and yet in the Mississippi valley, wheat will remain at 35 cents a bushel, lard 3 cents a pound, and in the south cotton will bring to the planters but 5 cents a pound. How can these toiling husbandmen with such beg garly prices, pay for the things that are needful to be consumed, and how can prosperity come if they have not the means of purchase? "The financial question is at the root of all our troubles, and until it is settled I do not see how there can be any perma nent improvement. "One of the most effective speeches made in behalf of McKinley was by Sen ator Quay at Pittsburg, in which he gave his promise that within 90 days after the election of the Republican ticket steps would be taken to bring about interna tional bimetallism. There is an element in the Republican party strongly in favor of this policy, but a larger and more pow, erful element will never agree to any thing but the single ?ohl standard. Ens land, too, will always block the way to an agreement by the nations, for being the great creditor country she will never con sent to get one bushel, one pound, one ton where she now takes two from tributary countries; and thus there is left us but one way out and that is to adopt singly and independently the bimetallic system which will ultimately make of the United States the richest and most powerful na tion on the fact of the earth." PRAISE FOR GLADSTONE. President of the Greek Boule Sends Him a Message. New Tork, April 6. The Journal this morning prints the following: Athens, April 4. M. ZaJmi3, president of the boule, the single Oreek legisla tive body, sent to Mr. Oladstone a mes sage of gratitude for the stand he has taken in behalf of Greece and the Cre tan Christians. In his message Zaimis said: "All your glorious life has been full of combats for justice and liberty. Now that the Hellenic nation has risen to fight in favor of Crete, which is be. dewed with blood,, you come to uphold anew the rights of an oppressed race." Hawn den, April 4. Mr. Gladstone re plied as follows to the president of the Greek parliament: "My tract was not written to confer a favor on Grece, but to discharge a solemn duty contrib uting to redeem my country from any risk of dishonor which would have been incurred by placing ourselves in antag onism to the high interest of justice and freedom. My opinion is that if the Greeks continue discreet and the Cretans firm, their reasonable self-assertion will carry the day, and the powers, it they should be so unwise as to take a hostile part, be both discred ited and defeated." HOUSE ON WHEELS. Washington Man and His Family on the Road for Three Tears. Greensburg. Ind., April 6. Mr. C. A. X.oslev, of Port Angelus, Wash., passed through this city yesterday, traveling overland in a house on wheels. The ve hicle is built of Washington cedar, weighs 2.100 pounds, is six feet high, and the same number in width end 12 feet long. The "house" has two doors and three windows, is furnished with folding bed and table, chairs and camp stove, and is a comparatively comfortable place in which to live. Mr. and Mrs. Lasley, four children and three canary birds occupy the "house" in which they have traveled from Fort An gelus. They are traveling under contract with a museum in New York city, whith er they are now bound, and where the "house" will be placed on exhibition. When here they had been on the road three years and eleven days and had trav eled 5,270 miles. RUSSELL SAGE WEARY. Getting Tired Waiting for the Wave of Prosperity. New Tork, April J5. Russell Sage, who during the presidential campaign made so many promises of good times in the event of McKinley's election. has evidently not yet met with the advance agent of prosperity in his quarters in New Tork's money centers. "I expect and believe there is a bet ter time coming, but it w ill come slow ly. Unless business improves consider ably I shall certainly favor the reduc tion of the Western Union dividend to a 4 per cent basis. I am not in favor of paying out money for dividends that are not earned. It is better to accept conditions as they are than to be bull headed against them. Conservative action now will be greatly to the com pany's benefit in the future." LEAPING" OYER ELEPHANTS Gustav Warner Was Badly Injured at Madison Square Garden. New Tork, April 6. Gustav Warner, 26 years old, whose home is in Newark, was badly injured last night while making a leap over elephants in Barn um's circus at Madison Square Garden. With a dozen others, Warner was making leaps over three of the animals. He turned the customary two somer saults, but instead of landing on his feet, fell on his back. He lay where he fell for a few seconds, and then was assisted to the dressing room. No one in the audience seemed to be aware that an accident had occurred, and the performance went on without interrup tion. The man's spine was injured and his condition is serious. Americans are the most inventive people on earth. To them have been issued nearly 600.000 patents, or more than one-third of all the patents issued in the world.

For sale by Druggists, ORDERJJO. I. Crown Prince Constantino Is sues an Order Requiring His Troops to Pre serve the Peace Today. GREEKS ARE UNEASY. Lutterings Against the King Are Heard on All Sides. Greeks Arriving Daily From All Parts of the World. Larissa, April 6. The Crown Prince has issued the following general order to the troops: "Officers and Soldiers: In view of the great anniversary to be celebrated today, I order all the troops under my command to display the utmost self-restraint and not to al low themselves to be carried away by the remembrance of the glorious day. Ee sure my orders are respected. (Signed) CONST ANTINE." London, April 6. The Times' Athens correspondent says: Muttei ings are heard on all sides de nouncing the king and demanding an immediate declaration of war. The government journals published articles enjoining patience, self-control and obedience to the authorities, but these warnings seem to have very little effect upon the excitable populace, which has set its heart upon war and will not be balked in its desire. The seeds of discontent have been sown broadcast by the enemies of the government who are spreading the ru mor that a humiliating surrender is contemplated. Even the king, who has left nothing undone to show his sym pathy with the popular feeling has not escaped malignant animadversion. The daily arrivals of bands of Greek volun teers from every part of the world adds fuel to the flames of popular enthusi asm. Many of them are wholly with out training, for the lack of which their undisciplined ardor prove a poor com pensation. In "their eyes the annexa tion of Crete is a far less important matter than the conquest of Macedonia which has always been the principal aim of the secret societies. Today 150 eyprotes marched through the streets, carrying banners bearing the device: "Union for Cyprus with Greece." The Daily Telegraph's Vienna cor respondent says: France and Russia are at present diligently trying to delay a blockade of Greece. They have made a proposal to King George that Col. Vassos should retire from Crete, where upon the original plan for the plebis cite might be carried out. The powers have not yet reached an entente as to this point, but Russia and France pro ceeded in the matter on their own re sponsibility, on the presumption that if King George agrees the other powers will not raise any difficulty. The Daily Telegraph prints the fol lowing dispatch from its Larissa cor respondent: It is said a plan of cam paign has been decided upon by Crown Prince Constantine and the other Greek leaders, but even now there is no sure indication as to the direction in which the first blow will be delivered. There has not been much progress in the re pair of the frontier roads, and bridges, certainly not enough to warrant the be lief that an advance is contemplated. The rapid handling of the army under the conditions would be almost impos sible. A dispatch to the Times from Elas sona says it is reported there that the Greeks propose to begin the attack at once but the Turkish position is almost impregnable, the heights being strongly fortified with artillery. Constantinople, April 6. According to an official statement issued today the sum of 300,000 pounds has been subscrib ed for military expenses. Thirty-five thousand pounds of this amount has been expended in the purchase of Mau ser rilles, cartridges and cavalry mounts. Future subscriptions will be devoted to the equipment of the army and navy. HE W OULDN'T RIDE. Cleveland Laughed When Invited Jto Sit Behind a Shetland Pony. New Tork, April 6. A fine Shetland pony and cart came by Adams express to the Cleveland mansion at Princeton yesterday. They belong to E. S. Sav age of Rahway, who with his daughter is on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. The former president was at the sta tion to receive them. When the little animal was hitched to the cart, Mr. Savage Invited Mr. Cleveland to jump in with his daughter and ride down to his home on Bayard avenue. Mr. Cleveland looked at the little cart and then at himself and said with a burst of laughter, "I guess not." Miss Savage drove the pony to the mansion. The Ideal Panacea James L.

M X 1 MOTHERS' FREUD DR. POTTER IN TROUBLE. This Time it is a Suit for Divorce that Confronts Him. New Tork, April 6. The Rev. Daniel C. Potter is in more trouble. This time it is of a purely domestic nature. His wife has brought suit against him for divorce. The papers were served on Dr. Potter last Thursday afternoon, by a process server from the law office of Howe Hummel, attorneys for Mrs. Potter. The complaint sets forth a long array of grievances on the part of the wife, covering a period extending from 1891 to the present. The complaint cites the fact that they were married on May 27, 1&73, at Hamilton, N. T.. and that there have been three children, Paul, 19 years old; Sterling, 17, and Dean, 15. Mrs. Potter asks for the custody of the children and a fair share of such prop erty as her husband may own. The complaint names several co-respondents. Mrs. Potter, whose maiden name was Mary Pearl, a native of Medina, N. T., Is now living In Brooklyn. She is a descendant of Moses Rogers, one of the earliest settlers of Fairfield county, Conn., who received the big tract of land known as Shippan Point from the British crown. Part of this property she inherited. Her husband. Dr. Pot ter, built numerous cottages on this land and housed during the summer months many of the poor of the East side. He also sent many of them to the old Rogers manorhouse, one of the his toric places along Long Island sound. In these charitable enterprises his wife always aided him until last fall. Since that time they have been separated. PEARY GOES WEST. The Explorer Ordered to Mare Island Navy Yard. New York, April 6. Lieutenant Rob ert E. Peary, the distinguished Arctic explorer, has been detached from duty at the Brooklyn navy yard and ordered to duty at the Mare Island navy yard at Vallejo, Cal. He will leave Brook lyn on April 20 and will report at his new station on April 26. This change of station, Lieutenant Peary says, will not interfere with the carrying out of his plan for reaching the North Pole. The details of this plan he submitted to the American Oeographical society at its last annual meeting. "All that is needed," said he, when seen at his Brooklyn home today, "is financial support. I am waiting for some person or persons of wealth, suffi ciently interested in Arctic exploration to advance money enough to enable me to undertake the work in the man ner in which it ought to be undertaken. "To reach the North PQle a colony of Eskimos should be established at some point not further than 350 miles from the pole. The money is needed to maintain the colony until the goal is reached. The trouble with all past ef forts to reach the pole has been that the expeditions had no proper base from which to work. "Now the pole may not b reached for some time after the colony is estab lished. Trial after trial may result unsuccessfully, but there will come a. time when the conditions at last will be favorable and then we must be so sit uated that we can promptly avail our selves of them. "Since I submitted my plan to the American Geographical society I have not received any offer of a contribution sufficient to carry out the work prop erly, but I still have strong hopes that the money will be forthcoming." Lieutenant Peary's estimate of the cost is $150,000. His plan is regarded as feasible by such eminent authorities as President Daly of the American Geo graphical society, Explorer Nansen and Cyrus C. Adams. Lieutenant Peary said that he had had no correspondence with Nansen in regard to the latter's visit to this country, but said he would certainly meet the celebrated explorer upon his arrival here. PAMPAS CAT IN NEW YORK. Queer Animal Received from Far TJp the Amazon River. New York, April 6. A pampas cat, or jungle cat as it is also called, has just arrived in this city on board of the steamshiip Hubert from Para, Brazil. It was brought to Para by a boat from far up the Amazon river, and was pur chased by a sailor on the steamship. On arriving in this city he sold it to an animal dealer. It is a pretty little animal, and is striped and mottled in yellowish gray and black and brown. It is full grown, although young, and is much smaller than the average domestic cat. It is like an ocelot in appearance, except that its markings are of a different col or. GIFT FOR MRS. M'KINLET. Sylvester Scovel Will Present Her With, a Fan of Historic Value. "Washington, April 5. Mrs. McKinley, within the next few days, will be the re cipient of a very elegant and valuable present in the shape of a fan of great historical value. Thi3 will be given by Sylvester Scovel, who selects the wife of the president to whom to make this valuable gift because of the debt of gratitude he feels he owes for the ef forts for his release from prison in Cuba. i The fan belonged to the -wife of a Spanish hidalgo of rank a century and a half ago. It is of finely carved open work ivory, intermingled on the slen der sticks with an elaborate inlaying of gold. Above this narrow fan part it is painted in the most exquisite manner. As a work of art, aside from its great beauty and antiquity, it is of great value, and was exhibited at the Paris exposition. PEARY WANTS AN "ANGEL" The Explorer Needs Money for His Proposed Expedition New York, April 5. No public spiri ted citizen has yet been found to back the north pole expedition proposed on the new lines by Lieut. Robert E.Peary, the arctic explorer. Today Lieut. Peary confirmed the news that he had been detached from duty at Brooklyn navy yard and ordered to report for duty at the Mare Island navy yard at Vellejo, Cal., April 26, This change of station, Lieut. Peary says will not interfere with the carrying out of his plan for reaching the north pole, the details of which were submitted to the American Geographical society at its last annual m1; eting. Lieut. Peary's estimate of the cost is $15,000. His plan is simple and is re garded as feasible by such eminent authorities as President Dally of the American Geographical society and Explorer Nansen.

Three men were killed by asphyxiation yesterday at Dowe's brewery. They were clean ing a beer tunnel and were overcome by the carbonic acid gas which had col lected at the bottom. The dead are: Joseph Webb, Joe Murphy, and John Hanigan. The man Webb was to blame. He had been in the brewery for years and knew that he should have seen whether any gas had collected. The tunnel was about 13 feet deep and as soon as he entered he dropped to the bottom. The two others met a similar fate and a fourth man named MeCabe who went to see what had happened was also overcome, but was taken out alive. KIVElt STEAMER BURNS.

HOUSE AND HOME. A Notable Exposition to be Inaugur ated at New York. New York, April 6. Under the au spices of some forty clergymen of all denominations, and with interesting ceremonies, the Greater New York Ex position of the House and Home will be opened in the Grand Central Palace this evening. The purpose of the exposition is to demonstrate the progress and improve ments made in the construction and in terior decorations of the house and home of recent years. There are three classes, one ranging from architects' plans to drawing materials, a second comprising all kinds of builders' ma terials, and a third interior decorations and furnishings, including carpets. rugs, furniture, paintings, statues and house hold suppiles. In addition there is a complete working electrical kitchen, with meals prepared by electricity and public demonstrations and lessons in electric cooking. Among the cities represented in the exposition are Chicago, Columbus, O. Buffalo, Detroit, Wheeling, W. Va. Philadelphia. Baltimore and Indianap olis. The interest of the clergy in the exposition is largely due to the fact that the proceeds are to go towards the founding of an unsectarian home for unfortunate women.

Kansas, shot and probably fatally wounded Mrs. P. H. Berkev 'and her grown daughter. Miss EfTie Berkey. and elightly wounded another grown daughter Miss Jennie Berkey at the Berkey home near here at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. An hour later. Miller himself was shot and dangerously but not necessarily fa tally wounded, while resisting arrest. Miller, who is not quite right mentallv, has been in the habit of calling upon Miss EfTie Berkey frequently. Recently, hav ing heard reports of a defamatory na ture concerning her, he determined to de mand an explanation, and drove to the Berkey home Sunday afternoon for that purpose. Mrs. Berkey answered his knock, and informed him that he could not see her daughter. This enraged him, and he demanded admittance to the house This was refused, and the door shut in his face. At this, Miller drew a revolver and fired through the glass door at Mrs Berkey. The ball struck her in the breast inflicting a wound from which it is thought she will die. On hearing the re port of the revolver. Miss EfTie Berkey, who had gone upstairs on Miller's ar rival, came rushing to her mother's as sistance. As she stooped over her moth er. Miller shot her in the small of the back, and the girl fell by her mother's side. Then Millar opened the door and went into the house. By this time. Miss Jennie Berkey had come upon the scene and received a bullet in the shoulder. It Is not thought that this wound will prove serious. When the officers went to arrest Miller he fired three shots at the officers, none of them taking effect. The officers re turned the fire, wounding Miller in the side. Miller turned and ran after he was shot, but was captured after a short chase. BRYAN" AT EMPORIA. Will Act as Judge at the Normal Con test in May. Emporia, April 6.

THE ANTHONY BRANCH Creating a Diversion With, the Santa Fe and Frisco in Stock Shipments. South Haven, April 6. Neal A. Pick ett was over last Tuesday to see the stockmen to make up a stock shipment to Kansas City over the Anthony branch. They have seven loads prom ised at Arkansas City. They will load at Arkansas City about 2:30 p. m., pass ing through here at 3:45 p. m., connect ing with a through stock train over the Rock Island at Caldwell at 5:15 p. m., arriving at Kansas City at 6:20 a. m. A shipment made last week shows a saving of at least eight hours. He says the 'Frisco and the Santa Fe do not like the idea of the Rock Island getting this branch business and they are get ting a hustle on themselves. The granting of the terminal facili ties to the branch at Arkansas City by the 'Frisco is largely due to the fact of these shipments, and further that the Arkansas City wholesale houses and shippers are trying to make arrangements to ship over this branch if a proper agreement with the Rock Island people can be made. Strange as it may seem, the Arkansas City stock shippers can save several hours to Kansas City by this route and have a much more convenient hour for load ing. KANSAS VILLAGE ELECTIONS.

The Inter State Commission Censures a Santa Fe Official. Comments Severely on the Posi tion of Aid ace F. Walker. FREIGHT SHIPMENTS And Kate Discrimination Dur ing the Receivership Is the Text the Commission Takes for the Manifesto. The Chicago Tribune of a late issue contains the following: Aldace F. Walker, now chairman of the board of directors of the Atchison, Tope ka and Santa Fe railroad, and who was a member of the Inter-State Commerce commission when the board first came in to existence, has received a severe drub bing in a decision just rendered by the Inter-State Commerce commission. When Mr. Walker was receiver of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in isy;. the road was charged with violation of the fourth section of the inter-state com merce laws bv making lower rates on freight to Colorado points than to inter mediate points. Receiver Walker con tended that this action was not in vio lation of the law for the reason that there was a dissimilarity of circumstances and conditions because there was then pre valent a rate-war between different com peting lines to those points. As the commission understands it, the position of Mr. Walker was as follows. As the receiver of the Santa Fe system he stood charged with the preservation of its properties. He found in the manage ment of those properties that the tariff from Chicago to Colorado points, which belonged to and had formerly passed over his lines, was being diverted, and he be came satisfied that this was owing to the irregular practices of his competitors in accepting less than the published rates. He became convinced that the only way in which this secret and unlawful com petition could be met was by meeting the rate which they made, and he accordingly did so. The rate which he established to Colorado points, was, as he well knew, an unremunerative rate, and was only es tablished to meet the immediate necessi ties of the occasion and as a temporary expedient. The rates to intermediate points had been substantially the same for many years, ana were just and rea sonable. He did not believe there was any equitable reason why these rates should be reduced and the revenues of his system diminished because he found it necessary to make a low rate for the purpose of checking unlawful competition It was the fact of this unlawful and se cret competition which justified him in making the lower rate for the longer haul by creating dissimilar circumstances and conditions. Stripped of various embellishments, says the commission, Mr. Walker's posi tion is that because one party violates the fourth section of the law secretly a second party may violate it openly in an other particular. This proposition, it says, would sound ridiculous if it pro ceeded from a less eminent authority, and is sufficiently startling from any source. Applied to laws in general, it would result in complete anarchy. Mr. Walker was asked why he had not furnished the commission with what in formation he had regarding the matter. His answer in substance was that if would have done no good, that in the then state of the statute and of public opinion the law could not be enforced. Commenting upon this answer the com mission says: "Mr. Walker's position is this: T dis obey the law because it is not enforced. The law is not enforced because I and other men in my position decline to co operate in its enforcement. I decline to co-operate because I do not like the law. That is to say, I disobey the law because 1 do not like it.' The commission then says: It is certainly true that the act to re gulate commerce is defective in many im portant respects, and that this commis sion is powerless at many points where it ought to be effective. It Is equally true that the law might be enforced, to a much greater extent certainly, if the rail roads of this country would lend their influence thereto. If the receiver of the Santa Fe road, instead of taking the law into his own hands, had given us the benefit of his hearty co-operation, the il legal practices of which he complained could undoubtedly have been stopped in that instance and an example made of those who inaugurated those practices that would have gone far towards dis couraging similar violations of law in the future. Whether he should so assist in the enforcement of the law was a ques tion entirely for him as a man and a railroad manager. We have no critism upon his course in deciding not to co operate in supporting it. but we must de cline to accept as a valid excuse for his violation of the law the fact that the law was disobeyed by other parties, when that disobedience arose from his own attitude toward it. SANTA FE'S FAST RUN. Makes 230 Miles Between Kansas City and Hutchinson in 290 Minutes.

The distance is 230 miles, and this is probably the fastest run ever made for a long distance by any Kansas road. Train No. 17, the Santa Fe fast mail and express, from Chicago, due in Kan sas City at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, did not arrive until 5:30 o'clock, miss ii Wednesday Evening. you 20 ing connection with the California ex press leaving at 2:25 o'clock. After the arrival of No. 17, it was decided to make a run to catch the express train, which was done at Hutchinson. The run be tween Newton and Hutchinson, a dis tance of 45 miles, was made in exactly 45 minutes. 'OWNEY" UNDER THE BAN. The Tourist Mail Dog to Travel No More. Chicago, April 6. The free and un limited travelings of "Owney," the cel ebrated postal dog, are liable to be hampered to a great extent in the near future, as Superintendent Troy of the Chicago district of the railway mail service has issued an order prohibiting mail clerks from allowing "Owney" to travel' in their cars. This order, it is thought, will put an end to the travel ing career of the much advertised ca nine and he will hereafter have to be content with a trip on a cable car or else the regulation side door sleeper of the tramps, a box car. "Owney" is known to almost every railway mail clerk in the United States and has several times crossed the coun try, riding as a guest of the postal clerks. He was in Kansas City last week, coming in on the Alton and de parting a few minutes later on the southbound Santa Fe train. The dog's home is in Albany, N. Y., and as he is now a long ways from there it is a mat ter of conjecture as to how he will work his passage back east. SANTA FE RESORT. Will Erect a Sidetrack and Depot at Sylvian Springs for Excursions. Ottawa, April 6. The Santa Fe com pany will build a sidetrack and sum mer depot at Sylvian Springs where they will run summer excursions. The company desired to run Sunday excursions to Forest park but the city council refused to allow the park to be opened on that day. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago Livestock Market.

Forty Ratallions of Reserves Ordered Out. Athens.April 6. The greatest enthus iasm was manifested here today during the fetes organized to celebrate the an niversary of the declaration in 1821 of the Independence of Greece from Turk ish rule. The king and the members of the royal family here accompanied by the ministers and all the high court and other officials of Athens attended the religious ceremonies at the cathedral where a te deum was sung. The king received a great ovation during his pas sage to and from the cathedral and he and the ministers were showered with leaflets inscribed "Hurrah for War." Elassonia. Mecedoia. April 6. Edham Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief issued orders last night similar to those which the Crown Prince Con stantine the Greek commander-in-chief issued yesterday to his troops. Edhem Pasha holds the commanders of the Turkish frontier stations responsible for any untoward incident. It is noteworthy, however, that large bodies of Turkish troops are now mov ing towards the frontier together with three mountain batteries and that the ridges of Molina and Skumpa have been strongly occupied by Turkish troops, who will remain on guard there until Wednesday. Larissa, April 5. (Delayed in transit) In order to prevent accidents the crown prince has issued orders that cannon in honor of independence day may only be fired at a great distance from the camp. London, April 6. A special dispatch from Constantinople says that the council of ministers sat until late last night and decided to call out and send to the frontier 40 more batallions of army reserves.

It is stated here that the British minister at Athens has been instructed to make pacific overtures with a view of enabling: Greece to extricate herself from tha present dilema. It is further stated that if these overtures are rejected the Piraeus will be blockaded by the fleets of the foreign powers. XO THOUGHT OF PEACE. Spain Orders a Vigorous Campaign in Cuba.

The well and well worn phrase about "the ruling passion strong In death," seems appropriate just now, to the vet eran suffragist and lecturer, Phoebe Cousins. Miss Cousins may not be on her death bed, but she has been very sick for many months. She i3 suffi ciently alive however to hurl one of the most bitter attacks at her sex in gen eral and certain members thereof in particular, that could well be framed in polite language. She has been a dis organizer and a maker of mischief all her life. Apparently nothing will change her while life lasts. It is fortunate perhaps for the cause which is the dearest to so many wo men, the attainment of the ballot that it was only Phoebe Cousins who said these things. After advocating the en largement of woman's sphere and the conferring upon her of the right of suf frage for a generation this soured and disgruntled old woman declares that "women in public life will never prove satisfactory" and advises them all to marry young and become housekeepers. The real basis for her attack on her sisters is found perhaps in her refer ence to the Woman's Board of Man agers of the World's fair. She has nev er forgiven those who would not per mit her to be the board. Her charge that it was the methods pursued by the suffrage leaders and not the saloons which defeated the cause in California may be true and it may not, but when she cites the fact that the only state which has conferred the franchise upon woman by popular vote, Idaho, is one in which Miss An thony did not appear during the cam paign she makes a point which might be regarded by some as a strong one against Aunt Susan. By way of mak ing a stronger case she points out that Miss Anthony has campaigned for suf frage in 13 states and lost in every one of them. Bearing in mind that Miss Cousins is old, sick, soured, disappointed and a natural scold at her best there still may be something in her interview published in this paper yesterday which is worth the consideration of those who hold dear the cause of woman's enfranchisement. GLOBE SIGHTS. (From the Atchison Globe.) Anybody can get an invitation to at tend church. It is an awful smart man who knows enough to know when he Is being laugh ed at. The real truth about the matter Is that the only kind of ship visible in Atchison after dark is the courtship kind. We bave noticed that an "Uncle Tom" ehow always has two managers, and that both of them display their lithographs in the windows. "I have noticed," said Doc Morrison to day, "that the men who claim to have eeen the air ship, have no great reputa tion for telling the truth." All that a man retains In his mind af ter he has been with a crowd of young girls, is that he has heard a great deal of giggling and many wise opinions about love. Tie a cloth around your eyeg, and walk on the brink of a high precipice, and you will not be doing nothing more startling than the manner in which a number of young people In town are carrying on courtships. Some people can't wait on the sick, and others actually enjoy it. We have often thought It a pity that a man's stomach is not better than his ap petite. There is one fact about humanity that all may agree on; it is always safe to watch it. Our Idea of a thoughtful, far-seeing man is the one who gets the towels ready before he steps into a bath tub. The man of moderate means who has cl thrifty wife, has no call to envy a mil lionaire with a shiftless one. Topeka doesn't deserve all the mean things said about her. In no other town in Kansas do the citizens stand together so well in any scheme that will benefit the town. They have al ready started to raise money for the Kali Festival, and though times are hard and the event is six months off, $375 was raised in a few hours yester day. What will Atchison do about the Corn Carnival? Atchison Globe. Topeka not only stands together but she acts together. The $375 was a mere flyer. Another citizen walked in and planked down another $100 without solicitation. When the real asking for the Festival Fund begins, Topeka will raise $10,000. Besides that, Topeka will raise privately $12,500 for a partial pay ment on the auditorium. There is nothing stingy about Topeka, A DAY AT HtTLL HOUSE. (American Journal of Sociology.) Hull house has suffered a variety of nomenclature. To the children it is usually and comprehensively "the kin dergarten;" the Italian neighbors with their invincible poetry call it "la casa dl Dio." To those who must have a definition of a thing whose being is essentially plastic, there is, no better replf to be given than that of a young Englishman at a conference of good people. Upon being pestered for an exact statement, he burst out with: "Why, hang it, madame, we settle." The one necessary element is perma nency. Individuals come and go; the attitude, the movement, the activity, re main. About the house are its tributar ies, some in material form and some visible only in spirit. Around the south ern corner is a brick building, the home of the June Club, a club of working women who in a life of five years have solved some of the most vexing ques tions of co-operative living to their awn social and economic satisfaction. Across the street to the north is the pleasant two story frame building of the Phalanx club, where the same plan of living, except for the cares of the kitchen, is carried on by the young men. Just north of this is the model lodging house for women, where any depend ent woman may have the wise encour agement of a bed and a breakfast. Some thousand feet toward the river is the public play ground, safely guard ed by its iron fence and closed until after school hours. This piece of land, cursed by a bunch of miserable and criminal tenements and an absent landlord, came finally by strange and picturesque ways into the hands of the settlement, and now clean and clear and wholesome, it has seen many a good time. May poles and singing children and flowers and music have surprised its sandy surface and in winter it gets a coating of ice for the skaters. Away down toward the southeast and off to the northwest are large study clubs of young men and women whose literary life began under the roof of the house and who have outgrown her first care. The public library reading room on Blue Island avenue, the public baths a few blocks away, the papular lectures now being given in one of the public schools were initiated by the settle ment. The decoration of public school rooms which is so novel and lovely a thing, i3 now carried on by the Society of Art in schools. The day begins early with the paper carrier, who hides his impartial list of daily papers under the mat for safety. He meets the earliest working mother or possibly father who is bringing the baby to the creche, where an average of 25 little ones are cared for every day. This means spending the day under wise supervision, with pictures and toys; it means bread and milk eaten at a tiny table in company; it means the neatest of a bath and the sweetness of a nap in a little white bed all to one self; it means the big porch playground with bright red geraniums on its bor der, and an exciting squirrel and a pla cable parrot at the ends. Below the creche is a larger room where the elder babies may play at serious kindergarten, alleviated by a sand pile and monstrous doll's house, and still above it is the larger room for the older class. By half past seven o'clock the coffee house and bakery are well astir. Here the residents of the house are served with a moveable feast according to their uprisings. The quiet, young inspector whose work in the nar row alleys has changed them as by a daily miracle, is likely to be the first. Then comes those who bear a divided burden; the factory inspector and her deputy, the librarian and the students. These are gone before those appear whose clubs and classes have kept them late the night before at the task of guide, philosopher and friend. Leaving the coffee house by a covered way to the main building, one finds the large room on the right of the entrance al ready filled with applicants to the labor bureau for employment, or to the relief department for aid. Now the house is like some creature slowly awakening from a. sleep. It be gins to put out its hands, touching, it is believed with humility as well as hopefulness and trusty the lives of those about it. By 9 o'clock the visiting nurse may be seen packing her bag from her sup ply chest with the little mercies of lint and salve and baby food. The work ers, whose province lies outside, who see sick children, study racial needs through manners, food and customs, visit the police stations in search of the astray girl or boy, or minister to some special necessity, are beginning their rounds. By 2 in the afternoon the kindergar ten training class is filling the largest room of the children's building, the live ly and wide awake session of the wo man's club is at its climax, the gymna sium is mildly noisy with its afternoon classes of girls, and from far up in the upper story come sounds of the chil dren's chorus. The applicants for em ployment make way with intervals for ventilation to the children's sewing class which comes tumultuously from school. Here and there in corners highly se cluded, are the single pupils all study ing with assistance of some one in the house. The leisurely last moments of the dinner hour are apt to be invaded by the classes, and from now on there is a riot of young people. The studious and there are many attend the ex tension classes, which cover almost the entire ground of the teaching branches, ranging from clay modeling to psychol ogy, from grammar to Dante, from em broidery to trigonometry. The younger and gayer crowd, the dancing and dra matic clubs, the gymnasium, with its games and basket ball, claim a share of all. Each club, no matter how lightly so cial, has its own sober meeting once a month, when it listens to some lecture or informal talk. The Penny Provident bank, which opens at night from 7 to 8, is an importation from New Tork. Supplies of bank books and stamps come from the parent institution, and there the deposits are finally redeemed. Visitors to the house find the bank, with its eager tangible depositors, full of vital interest: even more so, howev er, are the weekly meetings of the So cial Science club. To speak of the external activities of the house: its holiday entertainments, its Sunday lectures and concerts, its summer vacation home and school, its lending of pictures and books, it3 art fa "When you take Hood's Pills.

StStusecSsahSrupg rhjiwgltsynva MRS. ED FINDLEY "VIOLENT. She and Her Daughter Create a Scene in the "Dizzy" Restaurant. Kansas City, April 6. Ex-Gambler Ed Findley, his wife and daughter Et ta, and a dissolute woman formed the leading characters in a melee Saturday night in the "Dizzy" cafe, opposite the Ninth Street theater, in which catsup bottles and crockery figured, and which wound up with a pistol shot, fired by Mrs. Findley at her recreant spouse. At midnight Mrs. Findley and her daughter hurriedly entered the restaur ant. They peered into- the first booth.which was empty, and then the second. This they entered, and an instant afterward there was the sound of scuffling and loud talk. The waiter rushed back to the booth and saw Mm Findley struggling with her husband to hold her off, while her daughter, one hand upon the woman's throat, sprinkled salt Into her face from a salt cellar she held in the other. She then threw down the salt cellar and grasped the catsup bottle, which she swung above her head to strike the wo man, but it was Jerked from her hand by the waiter. I aidn t come here to meet him, the woman cried. Then she broke away from the Find- leys and made a break for the front door, but Mrs. Findley was too quick for her. She caught her by the arm just as she reached the door and whirl ed her into a chair. 'I didn't come here to meet him!" (slap, crack!) "He sent me a note" (biff smack!) Mrs. Findley was holding her upon the chair, grasping the throatband of her dress in one hand and slapping her face with the other. -Occasionally her free hand would reach to the bosom of her dress, where shone the polished butt of a pistol. She forebore to use it, however. During this interesting scene Etta Findley was engaged in holding her father back. 'You miserable scrub!" she said. "Toil contemptible puppy! You will come down here and blow in your money on a will you?" And she shook her fist under her fath er's nose, while her pretty face was con torted with anger. Finally the woman escaped, and the three Findleys went home in a hack. but not until Mrs. Findley had forced her husband to do so by firing a pistol shot at him. the state hoard of charities. The appli cations mentioned above have passed through the governor's office. NOT TEMPERANCE AGENTS. The Mission of the Committee of 50 on the Drink Problem. Boston, April 6. Many references have been made in newspapers during the last three years to a "committee of fifty for the investigation of the drink problem," but the public, for the most part, have a very vague notion about this mysterious body. The people most concerned with temperance reform are wondering what relation the new or ganization proposes to hold to their work. The committee is not a new agent in temperance agitation; does not propose to take any direct part in reform, being simply an organization in the interest of research. Its work is conducted by four subcommittees on different aspects of the problem, physiological, legisla tive, ethical and economic. Nothing of the same nature has been attempted in the country before. "It is not expected," said Charles Dudley Warner, "that any organization or any national power can suddenly or radically change the habits of the world. But wise and practical efforts can mitigate almost any evil under the sun, can produce a public opinion that operates in the right direction. The first requisite in any social problem is to throw light upon it, and this is the humble office of the committee of fifty." MACLAREN'N NEW CREED. Iowa Divine Says it is 70 Years Old and a Hindu King'sInvention. Mason City, la., April 6. To the Edi tor: Permit me to ask your readers' attention to the following: It is not generally known that the creed recently put forth by Dr.John Watson (Ian Ma claren). so much admired by some in this country and expected by others to work a great change in religious cir cles, is not original with him. This creed is about 70 years old and was first promulgated by the celebrated Hindu reformer, Rajah Rammohun Roy. The very words used by Dr. Watson are al most those of the rajah. But their reception as issued from the rajah was very different from their reception as coming from Dr. Watson. In the former case we find the rajah boycotted by all sections of the Chris tian church as a Unitarian, but in the latter case the popularity of Dr. Wat son as the author of "Beside the Bon nie Briar Bush," etc.. has thrown a glamour over the errors of this "creed" and given it its present brief popular ity. When religious people sit down and calmly, with Bible in hand, analyze it, it will be found sadly wanting in the great fundamental verities which are the backbone of the ancient and vener able apostles' creed.

Pleasant Before -the-Curtain Talk by the Veteran Actor. Mobile, April 6. Mr. Joseph Jefferson and his company of actors played "Rip Van Winkle" here Monday evening be fore one of the largest audiences ever crowded into the Mobile theater. The reception of the play was all that the actor could have wished for. The call at the end of the first act was for a speech, to which Mr. Jefferson respond ed in a happy vein as follows: "It is fii'ty-four years since I first came to the city of Mobile. It is more than likely that I have acted before the fathers and mothers and the grand fathers and grandmothers, and even in some instances the great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers of some of this audience tonight, and to be here, and after so many years, and in good health and strength, and to provide entertain ment to the descendants of those ances tors is a great privilege. Probably you think that in fifty more years I shall return again, and if I do I should ask for no better greeting than the wel come of the smiling faces that I see here tonight. If I do come. I hope I may find you here. If it be twice fifty years, however, I shall not forget that I was a boy here, and that here I found kind hands held out to me and received a benefit that was of good service in starting me upon my career. I am proud of it and cherish a grateful re membrance of it. "In bidding you adieu, I must be per mitted to say that today as I passed through the old city, I looked upon the landmarks, the familiar places, the houses in which I used to live, as I walked your well known streets and saw few faces that I knew. I felt marvelously like Rip Van Winkle in this village of Falling Water, but this audience and this kindly applause as sure me that we are not so soon forgot ten w hen we are gone."

Two expert work men will in a day or two burglarize the armored casket within the temporary mausoleum that holds the remains of General Grant. The rosewood casket is enclosed within three cases. There is first a copper case, hermetically seal ed, which encloses the casket of wood. Then comes a riveted sheet iron envel ope, and outside all a chilled, chisel proof armor steel case. This is riveted securely, and will defy the hardest tools. In order to place the general's body in the new stone sarcophagus, it is necessary that the copper, iron and steel casings be removed. Then the rosewood casket alone will be lowered into the hollowed stone block. The great steel box was made so it could never be disturbed by anyone with evil intent. It is so securely riv eted it will defy the hardest tools, and it will be necessary to rig up a little blacksmith shop within the sacred tomb, and by a blowpipe arrangement, melt the rivets so they can be removed. UNCLE SAM GETS A HORSE. Robert R, Owned in Boston, Alleged to Have Been Imported at Palse Valuation. Burlington, Vt., April 6. An investi gation has been Instituted by the Uni ted States customs department with reference to the entry of Robert R., a bay gelding having a record of 2:10, now owned by W. H. Temple of Bos ton, Mass. The horse was entered in June, 1896. having been purchased of a man in East Hatley, Can. The price paid was $1,400. but the value, as given upon the entry blank, was only $500, and hence the Investigation. The animal is now said to be worth $2,000. The special agent engaged in looking up the matter, V. A. Bullard of this city, told a Herald man this morning that he had found the horse at the sta ble of his present owner, W. H. Tem ple, in Boston, and had taken posses sion of him, having arranged to have him kept there for a time.He has made his report to the Boston district, and the horse will probably be sold.

The Westminster Gazette this afternoon says the dis pute which has arisen regarding the will of the late Miss Isabella Murphy of San Francisco, who died recently leaving her fortune, estimated to amount to $300,000, to the Rev. Father Smullen, at whose house she resided, will be amicably settled. Father Smullen, the Westminster Ga zette adds, has refused to accept the fortune bequeathed to him and has re quested that a previous will, which di vided the money among the sisters of the deceased, with legacies to the ser vants and to the church, be accepted. JERSEY SEA WALL. Project of a Syndicate to Accommo date Metropolitan Shipping. New Tork. April 6. A powerful syn dicate is being formed to turn the hith erto comparatively useless coast of New Jersey into an immense center of mari time and railroad commerce. The plan is to build a sea wall from Liberty Is land to Robbin's Reef light, a distance of three miles. The mud flats within this territory are to be excavated, and the land built up with piles and piers extending inward several thousand feet. Cement bottoms will probably be laid when the mud is dredged out. Then wharves and warehouses will be built on the reclaimed land, and it is said, will be leased by great railroads and steamship lines which now have similar facilities in New York city. The present discontent of the dock compa nies and steamship lines doing business in this city over the rentals and ar rangements now in force will, it is said, insure the speedy formation of this syndicate and the prompt execution of its plans unless concessions or counter schemes are made by the New York authorities. OLD TIME PUNISHMENT. Two Penitentiary Convicts are Com pelled to Wear the "Punish ment Boots." Columbus, April 6. Varney and French, the two convicts who murder ously assaulted Schweln and More house in the penitentiary shops a few days ago, have been given a taste of old-fashioned punishment for their of fense. They have been hung up by the wrists for three days, and today when they were released they were at once inserted in Detective John T. Norris' punishment boots. This affair is a heavy boot of metal, which locks over the foot in such a manner that it does not injure the skin, and yet cannot be taken off ex cept by the proper key. The boot weighs about IS pounds, and soon be comes very wearisome. With this boot on the convicts will be compelled to do their usual work in the prison shops. NEW SPORTSMEN'S IDEA. Proposes to Go to the Rocky Moun tains and Shoot Wild Horses. London, Apr. 6. The Daily Mail prints a "tory that some London sportsmen, disgusted that the big game has been nearly all killed off in Africa and In dia have in contemplation crossing the Atlantic early in the autumn this year to try their hand at shooting one of tha fleetest and wariest of big game, the wild horse. It is estimated here that there are more than 2.000,000 wild horses in the Rocky mountain ranges, and that they have become a terrible nuisance, so that the killing of them is as great a benefit to Utah as the slaughter of rab bits is to Australia.

Senator Foraker Will Oppose Bellamy Storer's Appointment. Washington, April C. A battle royal will soon be on between the administra tion forces in the senate led by Mark 1-Ianna and Senator J. B. Foraker, who is now in Ohio patherins ammunition whereby he will right the confirmation c-f Ijeiianiy Storer as fust assistant i.L-i etiii y of slate. It has been decided that Storer's appointment will be made this week. The pressure has been stiong on iih sides, and president McKir.ley lm ri'ia'Jy made up his mind to side with Ster-r. Secretary Sherman has all along- in-sistc-u on Storer's appointment, but it is not so much a vU-tory for Sherman thus far as for Archbishop Ireland and other close friends of the ex-congressman. There is an old score to settle between Foraker and Storer. in 1SS4 the Fora ker rv:-n prevented Storer from receiv ing the usual indorsement of a second term. Since that time the fight has been going on and Foraker won out in getting control of the state organization and in the nomination of his candidate for governor over the Sherman and Mc Kinley candidate two years ago. Foraker will therefore appose the con firmation of Storer. and the senate will be treated to some fire alarm oratory ere many days. Tt will equal the cele brated fight between Cleveland and Sen ator Hill on the Hornblower nomination in which the senator won a great vic tory. M'JvINLEV JIAY VISIT HAY.

General News of the State Depart ments Notes and Personals. Sixty-four counties owe the state $47,915.36 on school land sales, the money having- ben collected from the sales of the land and not remitted to the state treasurer as required by the law. As this amount of money belongs to the state school fund, it Is regarded of more than usual Importance, and an ef fort is being made to force payment from the counties which are delinquent. An abstract of the amounts due from the various counties has been made from the books in the office of the state treasurer and state auditor and has been placed in the hands of State Su perintendent Stryker, who will collect it. The counties and the amount which, each owes on the school land accounts are as follows: Allen V 51 Anderson 987 "5 Barber 3,467 76 Barton 4,318 54 Butler 43 32 Chase 67 93 Chautauqua 3f 61 Cheyenne 285 41 Clay 48 03 Cloud 564 67 fowiy SSS GS Decatur 962 34 Dickinson 51 46 Douglas 871 10 Elk 560 59 Kills 1,223 93 Kllsworth 210 18 Finney (Garfield) 234 31 Franklin 172 04 Geary 1,197 17 Greenwood 609 41 Harper 130 74 Haskell S69 40 Hodgeman 451 S5 Jackson 32 S7 Johnson 75 00 Kearney 574 20 Kiowa TSj 18 Lana 471 34 Lincoln 504 26 Logan 551 70 Lyon ?3 23 Marion 3i6 86 Marshall "41 42 Meade 376 10 Montgomery 130 54 Morris 234 40 Morton 117 16 Nemaha 264 30 Neosho 240 56 Ness 1,501 97 Osage 263 00 Osborn 46 20 Ottawa 194 09 Pawnee 311 25 Rawlina 5.46S 53 Reno 343 03 Republic 73 50 Rice 1.023 66 Riley 3,46i 67 Rooks 868 55 Saline 34S C7 Scott 423 33 Shawnee 53 65 Sheridan 2.931 63 Stevens 193 68 Sumner 363 47 Thomas 552 62 Trego 66S 22 Wabaunsee 1,674 58 Washington 722 67 Wichita 398 64 Wilson 1,327 65 Woodson 452 11 Total $47,915 36 TRIED TO BLOCK IT. F. E. Grimes Sought to Put Off the Bribery Investigation. A covert attempt has been made to prevent the investigation of the alleged charges of bribery in connection with various measures considered by the legislature, but it has failed and the investigation will begin tomorrow and expend at least $3,000 of the state'3 money in taking testimony and mak ing campaign material for both sides. F. K. Grimes, the Republican member of the committee who has been elected secretary, questioned the power of the committee to sit at this time. He claims that the concurrent resolution does not provide that the committee shall conduct the investigation after the close of the legislative session. Upon that basis he raised the further ques tion as to the legality of any proceed ings which the committee may have. Mr. Grimes took his legal documents, books of parliamentary law7 and other authorities to Attorney General Boyle last night and attempted to show why the committee cannot lawfully pro ceed with the work which has been as signed to it. Mr. Grimes has claimed all along to be very much in favor of the investigation and his sudden change of front and attempt to prevent the investigation at a time when the mem bers are on their way to begin work has created some comment. Mr. Boyle scarcely examined the pa pers in the application for an opinion. He merely said: "There is nothing, so far as I am able to observe, w hich can in any way inter fere or prevent the committee from taking up this investigation. The in tention of the resolution is plain. The investigation was to begin at a time when the session of the legislature had ended and that is all there is to say. The failure of the resolution to express ly convey the power to sit as a com mittee at a certain time does not inval idate it." In questioning the right of the com mittee to proceed. Mr. Grimes said to the attorney general: "As I understand it, if the members of the committee have no power or authority to sit after the adjournment of the legislature, then the members of the committee cannot draw any pay for their time and services, and no wit ness can receive any compensation therefor. In addition to this, if the committee has no authority to sit after the adjournment of the leglslature.then we cannot compel any witnesses to ap pear before us, or punish them for con tempt, if they fail to attend or refuse to answer." Perhaps it was through fear of re ceiving no pay that Mr. Grimes aided by some of his friends attempted to prevent the investigation. WITH A THREE MILE NET. Maryland's Game Warden Makes an Important Arrest. Bengies, Md., April 6. Thomas H. Hughes, a pungy fisherman, was ar rested here today by State Game War den Norns on the double charge of il legal fishing and of assaulting and in- 1 terfering with the game wardens in the discharge of their duties. Hughes was fishing with sunken or anchored gili nets, within a mile of the mouth of Middle river. One of his nets exceeds tnree miles in length. I CHANDLER'S IDEA. If Congress Abolishes Railroad Com petition it Might as Well Abol ish All Competition. "Washington, April 6. Senator Chand ler's bill in the nature of an amendment to Senator Foraker's railroad pooling bill, is entitled "A bill abolishing com petition in trade and production and authorizing combinations to enable merchants, manufacturers and pro ducers of commodities subject to inter state commerce to maintain prices and make profits, notwithstanding business depressions." The body of the bill declares that it shall be unlawful for different and com peting merchants, manufacturers and other producers of commodities, which are or may be the subjects of interstate commerce, to enter into any contract, agreement or arrangement for the di vision of apportionment among them selves or with others in like business of the whole -or any of their gross or net earnings, or for the restriction of pro duction in their business, or for the fixing of the prices of commodities by the order or recommendation of repre sentatives designated on behalf ot the various parties to any contract or agreement or by the order or recom mendation of the majority of such rep resentatives for the maintenance of prices of commodities once fixed or the enforcement of any such contracts by fines and penalties imposed upon any of the parties thereto, and each day of the continuance of any such contract shall be deemed a separate offense: pro vided, however, that under conditions named in the bill, it shall be lawful for such merchants, manufacturers and producers to enter into such contracts, agreements or arrangements which shall be enfoclble between the parties thereto. The bill then gives the Interstate com merce commission supervision over the business done by merchants, manufac turers and other producers under agree ments made in pursuance of the au thority given by this bill and by the in terstate commerce act. The body of the Foraker pooling bill is adopted by Sen ator Chandler, but for the words "used In the railroad business" he substitutes throughout the bill the words "used in manufacturing and trade." Mr. Chandler said he would not press this bill unless an effort was made to pass the "pooling bill" allowing rail roads to combine. In that case he would urge this as an amendment to the pooling bill. If congress abolishes railroad competition it might as well abolish all other competition. HYPNOTIZED BY 'PHONE. Prof. Lee in Columbus Put Samuel Story Asleep in Newark. Newark, O., April 6. Prof. Lee, in Columbus, hypnotized Samuel Story by telephone here today, the distance be ing 50 miles. Several doctors were with Story and when Lee had him under control he tel ephoned one of the witnesses to thrust a hat pin through Story's arm. This was done and Story neither flinched nor bled. Story is prominent, wealthy, educated and a social leader. The exhibition of power is town talk. A special from Chillicothe says: Douglass Reece, the 18 year old Chil licothe boy, who was buried in the city park Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, was resurrected at 7:30 last night and is again among the living. Reece was not sleeping the sleep that knows no waking. He was simply hypnotized. ARKANSAS BERRIES. The Strawberry of Strawberrydom Soon to be Here Now.

Lytle of the Well Fargo express company has return ed from a trip south and was in Topeka today. He said of the strawberry crop: "In Arkansas particularly it is one of the best I have seen in years.

My heart throbs and my brain aches to embrace you again. I am coming, and the mo- ments that lie between, are stalking ones that loiter on their way. "Oh! My heart be still! Do you re member the night of the Carnival you crowned me? As the ivory tusked ele phant bended his knee for me, aa I was lifted to his back, covered with silken tapestry, as I seated myself on the bro caded throne, canopied with a gossamer film of cloth of gold and the long cav alcade started down the broad avenue, lit with a thousand pulsing lights, as Marshall's band began to play, my soul trembled in an ecstacy no earth born damsel knows. "Oh Topeka! I am coming again to be crowned. I am coming with the clouds. The perfumed airs of night shall waft me to you. I will spread my extended arms over you in blessing and benediction. "I have drifted with the changing currents of the air; I have startled Omaha. A thousand instruments have i suddenly clinked and ignorant eyes I have watched my trackless course; sleepy burgs, like Belleville, sighted my trailing, moonlit robes, but I can know no other love than thee. "Adorn the city! Ribbon the door j knobs! Plant carnations and roses on the phaeton's whirling wheels! Flood your streets with uttar of roses; carpet them with flowers; build your auditori um; collect your subscriptions; invite a hundred thousand spectators. And then, my love, as dawn greets the day will I come to my bridegroom, dear, de lightful Topeka. And when the bells chime that the Carnival is here, my car shall descend and I shall alight to em brace you. "Queen of heart and soiil and all "Queen of the Great Carnival." LORINA.

The United States Supreme Court Boom is Packed to Sear the Nebraskaru Washington, April 6. The crowds about the United States supreme court yesterday were a light reminder of the late campaign. They were attracted by the presence in the court room of W. J. Bryan, late Democratic candidate for the presidency, who had been announ ced to appear as counsel for the state of Nebraska in the argument of what is known aa the the maximum freight cases. The limited capacity of the court room was taxed before the case began, and the corridors were soon filled by the anxious people. Mr. Bryan was in the court room early, occupying- a seat behind Mr. Smythe, attorney general of Massachu setts., with whom he was to appear in the case. Mr. Bryan moved the admis sion to the bar, early in the day, of H. C. Bell, deputy commissioner of pen sions. The Nebraska case was not reached until 3 o'clock, and John L. "Webster, counsel for the state, was then recog nized to cpen the argument. He con sumed the remainder of the day and had not concluded when the court ad journed. When Mr. Webster finishes, as he will today, Mr. Bryan will he heard. The railroads are represented by Jas. Carter of New York. The decision of the case will determine the constitu tionality of the law of 1893, fixing a maximum rate for freight charges on the part of railroads operating in the state. MISS COUSINS DISCUSSED. Chicago Women Think Her Strictures the Besult of Illness and Disappointment. Chicago, April 6. Opinions of woman suffrage voiced by Miss Phoebe Cousins on a sick bed at St. Louis were general ly discussed yesterday by Chicago wo men. "I certainly believe with Miss Cous ins," said Jane Addams, "that women are no better than men. We never claim we are, but we do think they are the equal of men, and consequently they have an inalienable right to the fran chise. From an ethical standpoint they have a right to the full expression of their opinions. Two hundred years ago only noblemen were allowed the right to vote, but gradually it has extended down to the working classes, and it is only a question of time when women will be allowed to cast a vote at the polls. Regarding Miss Cousins' state ment, we must take what she says with a great deal of charity. She has long been a sufferer and is well known to be an ambitious woman. Probably her sickness has caused her to take a pes simistic view of things; No matter what she says, we shall still continue to work toward attaining our ends." r. Sarah H.Stevenson said that Miss Cousins was not responsible for what she said. "The statement in the pa pars is that of a woman who is ill. Her long illness has discolored her views." Dr. Julia Holmes Smith of 499 Dear born avenue, said: "I really feel that Miss Cousins is too ill to be held re sponsible. The women who have work ed in the suffrage movement are the women who have won for us our pres ent advantages. The whole trouble with Miss Cousins is disappointed am bition. She wanted to be first. She criticises the methods of the workers, but does not count the results. I think we are all more sorry for Miss Cousins than we are offended at her." Mrs. Lucy R. Flower said that while she believed in the suffrage movement theoretically.she did not practically. "I do certainly believe that all women are happier married than single. I feel sorry for Miss Cousins, because she had a hard life. Failure to attain the height or ner amDition is doubtless the cause of her attack on the leaders of the suf frage movement. Nothing she has said win change my opinion of the move ment or of its leaders. I see no cause of her abuse of Susan B. Anthony. Miss Anthony is a woman true to her ideas, and no one can helD but admire her."

Retrenchment is the word with the board of education. Last night at the regular meeting the salary of Clerk H. W. Farnsworth was reduced from $75 per month to $50. His duties were de creased somewhat. Frank Beck, who is Superintendent Davidson's clerk.will give about half his time to assisting Clerk Farnsworth in his work. Thus $300 a year will be saved. The meeting was not livened up by any semblance of a "book fight." All ten members were present, however, and they each had considerable to say. It began: President Priddy It becomes cur du ty tonight to elec t a superintendent for the city schools for the ensuing year. Mr. MacFerran I would nominate "William M. Davidson for that position. Mr. Priddy Yes, now all who favor the motion to cast the unanimous bal lot of the board for Mr. Davidson, say "Aye." It is carried. Now the salary comes up.

Mr. Squires Now Mr. President, I move that the city schools be dismissed on April 15 and the teachers requested to attend the meeting of the North eastern Teachers' association at Hor ton. Mr. McFerran Don't make it "re quest." Say "invite." (Consent). Mr. Priddy I have .been in favor of deducting the salary of every teacher who would not attend that meeting. Mr. MacFerran O, pshaw! (Squires motion carried). Mr. Squires I move you that the ex aminations for teachers be held three days instead of two. The dates would be April 15, May 1 and 8. Mr. Wilson I don't think we need three days. Mr. MacFerran Make it optional. (Motion carried). Mr. Miller I move that W. H.Wright be put on the examining board. Mr. MacFerran And I want to add the name of Mrs. L. L. Whittemore. Mr. Priddy All in favor say "Aye." It is carried. By the President What shall be done about the Y. M. C. A. using the high school room for educational classes? Mr. Campbell I move that for the 19 nights which the Y. M. C. A. shall have used the rooms that we charge them $19. Y. M. C. A. Representative Lerrigo Now, gentlemen, all we ask is justice. Mr.MacFerran The Philosophical so ciety ought to pay for the use of the rooms too. Mr. Priddy All In favor of this will say "Aye." All opposed say "No." I don't hear any votes. Mr. Campbell I move as a substi tute motion that they be charged 75 cents a night. (Carried). Mr. Lerrigo I thank you. gentlemen. Mr. MacFerran, a3 chairman of the finance committee stated that for the month ending March 31, there had been received in the general fund the sum of $45,540.49, and that there had been paid out the sum of $14,935.04, leaving a bal ance Of $30.b0a.4o. The bills for the month were read and passed. It cost $7.00S.ll to pav the teachers for the month, and $602 for the janitors.

Representatives of 100 clubs that supported Bryan and Sew all last fall met today and organized the ProKresslve Democratic League of New York citv. It is estimated that aside from the single tax clubs and the labor organizations which took part in the campaign, there were 200 Bryan and Sew all clubs organized. While only half of the clubs were rep resented today, the leaders of the move ment say that the other 100 and the 73 clubs not distinctively of Brayii and Sew all nature, will fall in line as soon as the officers of the organizations are commu nicated with. The leaders, claiming for These independent organizations the cast in? of the bulk of the vote for Bryan and Sewall, believe that the new movement will assume immense proportions, and that the independent vote cast next fall, if political circumstances should make it necessary for such a vote to be cast, will exceed the vote cast for Henry George in 3SS0, 6,100.

Skinner and Mrs. Herbert Hackney gave a recep tion between the hours of 3 and 5 and two hundred ladies called to greet Mrs. Hackney. The parlors were decorated in yellow and white. On a table in the center of the main parlor stood a bowl of Easter lilie3 and the mantel, piano and window sills were banked with flowers and smilax. Mrs. Hackney brought 300 callas with her Friday from California. The curtains and draperies were fes tooned with smilax and peppers, also from California. Misses Allabelle Troutman and Ad die Skinner had charge of the punch bowl. Mrs. Hackney wore a rich gown of black satin dotted with gold and trim med with duchesse lace. Mrs. Herbert Hackney wore a violet and white silk, with a velvet bodice and frills of duchesse lace. Mrs. Skinner wore her wedding gown of cream satin veiled in white net. Mrs. Clem Hackney of Milwaukee, Wis., who assisted, was gowned in black moire, trimmed with frills of real lace. The other ladies who assisted during the afternoon were Mrs. J. A. Trout man, Mrs. Harry Overholt, Mrs. C. F. Spencer, Mrs. L. H. Munn, Mrs. R. L. Nesbaum, Mrs. C. E. Munn. The re freshments were served fn parlor B, which was decorated in yellow and white. April 5, 1847, Mr. George Hackney and Miss Martha Jepson were married at Asbury church, Cheshire, England, and last evening they received their friends standing under a wedding bell of smilax before the doors on the south side of the parlor. Fastened to the curtains at the doors were the dates 1847-1897 in yellow buttercups. They were attended by two little flower girls, Mary Overholt and Anna Troutman, who were dressed in frocks of white organdy. At 7:30 the party marched down to the main dining room of the hotel to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, the flower girls leading. Three tables were arranged for them. The center one was set with yellow and white china and the table linen had been embroidered in yellow butter cups expressly for this occasion by Mrs. Hackney. As the guests stood in their places before being seated, Rev. Linus Blakes ley asked grace. In the center of three tables were bowls of Easter lilies and on each nap kin was a jonquill, completing the yel low and white harmony. At the center table sat Mr. and Mrs. George Hackney at the head: on their right sat Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gordon, Mr. W. H. Rossington, Miss Rossing ton, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hull, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Lakin, Mr. and Mrs. Clem Hackney. On their left were Air. and Mrs. A. Washburn. Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

Munn, Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler Nichols, Colonel W. D. Alexander, Miss Addie Skinner, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Austin and Mr. George Hackney. Each lady received as a souvenir a photograph of Mr. and Mrs. George Hackney mounted on their wheels, with the words "Our Golden Wedding Tour 1847-1S97," in gold lettering at the bottom of the card. Watson's orchestra played during the supper, and before leaving the tables the guests sang 'Auld Lang Syne." They ascended to the parlors to the wedding march and found that the rooms had been darkened to enjoy a stereoptican exhibition. Among the views were several recently taken of the house where Mr. Hackney was born in England, the home where his wife lived as a girl and the church where they were married at Asbury. These views were a surprise, and Mr. and Mrs. Hackney were delighted. It was on the green in front of this church where they first met, and it was there also where Mr. Hackney bade his wife and son good bye before his departure for America. Mr. and Mrs. Hackney live on Drexel boulevard in Chicago, but formerly lived in this city, where Mr. Hackney held the position of superintendent of machinery for the Santa Fe railway.

FIGHT VIEWS NOT GOOD. Kinetoscopa Failed to Work: Properly at Carson. New York, April 6. According to the statement made by E. J. Rector, who ought to know, there is a dark future or, rather, no future ahead for the kinetoscope views of the Fitzsimmons Corbett fight. Rector says the whole lot of snap shots look like the first efforts of a novice. When the plates were devel oped every defect known to photography made its unwelcome appearance. The negatives were sent to the Edison laboratory in Orange, N. J., to be de veloped, and Frank Gammon, manager of the vitascope, under whose direction the negatives are developed, confirms Rector's statements. He says they are not panning out. Croup and whooping cough are child hoods terrors: but like pneumonia, bronchitis, and other throat and lung troubles, can be quickly cured by using One Minute Cough Cure. G. W.

Other Business Transacted by the City Council Many New Walks Wanted. The ordinance prohibiting Sunday theater performances in Topeka and Sabbath desecration, passed the coun cil last night without a dissenting vote. One of the councilmen said after the vote had been taken: "The moral ordinances put the coun cil in a peculiar position. None of the members care to oppose them, and when it comes to a vote.they are always pass ed, but usually about two-thirds of the council would rather not have the or dinance passed." The ordinance was reported favora bly from the .committee on ways and means by Chairman Burgess. It was called up without comment and read section by section while the councilmen listened in sleepy indifference to the reading. When the vote on the first section was taken all the councilmen voted in the affirmative, and the vote was the same on all of the sections, or on the final passage of the ordinance. City Attorney Bird was asked after the ordinance had been passed whether it applied to Sunday band concerts, and after reading the ordinance carefully, he said: "No, the ordinance does not apply to any concerts unless given by profes sionals. There is nothing in the ordi nance to prevent Marshall's band or any other Topeka band from giving Sunday concerts. The ordinance ap plies to professional entertainments." The complete text of the ordinance is as follows: "Be it ordained by the mayor and councilmen of the city of Topeka: "Section 1. That any person or per sons who shall in the city of Topeka, engage in playing foot ball, base ball, prize fighting or any other similar game on Sunday; or who shall give or cause to be given, or participate in the giving of any professional hypnotic, dramatic, theatrical or other entertainments of any kind for pay, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, shall on conviction before the police judge be fined not more than $100. "Sec. 2. That the proprietor or mana ger of any opera house, theater, public hall .public grounds or place in the city of Topeka, who permits the same to be used on the Sabbath day for any pur pose prohibited in section 1 of this or dinance shall be deemed to have violat ed this ordinance, and upon conviction thereof before the police judge, shall be fined not more than $100." KEEP IT DOWN. An Effort Being Made to Increase the Expenses of the Registration Office. An order was read from the board of election supervisors raising the allow ance for clerk hire in the office of the commissioner of elections from $600 to $800. President Btllard of the board was present and said he did not understand that the board had raised the allowance. Councilman Burgess said that since the board of police commissioners ex pected repairs at the city jail the board should exercise some economy in the conduct of the department. "The city lias no money to squander," said Coun cilman Burgess. President Billard said that Commis sioner Yount had agreed to pay for all extra clerk hire out of his salary if the deputy is allowed $750. The whole matter was referred to the committee on ways and means. MANY WANT WALKS. Numerous Petitions for New Side walks Presented to the City Council Petitions for new sidewalks were pre sented and referred to the committee on streets and walks as follows: D. D. McDowell and others for walks on the south side of Eleventh street from West street to Morris avenue, and on the south side of Eleventh street from Spruce street to Brooks avenue, thence south on the east side of Brooks avenue to Munson avenue, thence west on the south side of Munson avenue to Grand avenue. Lewis S. Dolman and others for side walk on the west side of Central ave nue and on the south side of Kious, thence east along the south side of said street to Kansas avenue with suitable crossings on Central avenue and Logan streets. James G. Everett for walks on the north side of Thirteenth street from Kansas avenue west to Jackson street. D. J. Dickinson and others for new walks in front of 27 lots on Morris ave nue. W. H. Schenck and others for a new walk on the west side of Central avenue from the north side of Gordon street on the east side of Central avenue to Rev. C. M. Sheldon and others for walks on the south side of Sixteenth street from College avenue to West street. John W. Gardiner and others for a new walk on the south side of Eleventh street from Morris avenue to West street. The committee on streets and walks reported favorably on the following petitions for new walks: On the north side of St. John street from Harrison street to Topeka ave nue. On the west side of Kansas avenue between Saywell and Paramore streets. NO REDUCTION. License Tax Unrepealed and Insur ance Premiums Will Remain the Same. The effort of Harrison Clarkson to have the city tax of $25 per annum on fire Insurance companies repealed, met with a failure. The majority of the committee on ways and means reported unfavorably on the proposition last night. Councilman Stephens made a minority report, but the report of the majority was adopted. Mr. Clarkson proposed to reduce the rate on dwellings and cnurches 20 per cent as a reciprocity measure. He said last night that the reduction would have made a difference of $25,000 to the peo ple who pay premiums, while the city receives but $1,500 from the license tax. The matter was strongly discussed at other meetings, and the council de cided to hold on to the license tax. City Expenses.

There was a sen sational interruption to the meeting of the American Temperance union in Chickering hall. Rev. J. B. Dunn, D. D., secretary of the National Temper ance society, made an address in which he prophesied the coming of prohibition of the liquor traffic in response to a re sistless growth of public sentiment. The abolition of slavery, he said, had been brought about in spite of difficul ties like those that now stand in the way of prohibition. The speaker referred several times to Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation proclamation. Theynention of. Lincoln's name was received, with applause, but the sound of hissing" was plainly heard above the hand clapping. A stylishly dressed woman with gray hair, who had been sitting in the fourth row of seats, left her seat with an angry gesture and walked up the aisle to the door. Then she turned and called back to the preacher that he had better leave the negroes alone and free the white slaves. "Free the white slaves," she shouted a number of times, and then slammed the door. She told an inquirer she was Mrs. M. A. Jones. "The idea of talking like that," she said excitedly. "I could not stand it. Why don't these people leave slavery alone and talk about temperance? Why don't they free the white slaves? There are 65,000,000 of them, and there are on ly 5,000,000 negroes. What do they hold these meetings in Chickering hall for? If they'd go down to the slums instead of preaching like they do, they might save people." ACTOR IS HURT BV THUGS. Percy Winter Attacked by Three Men in Madison Street, Chicago. Chicago, April 6. -Perry Winter, a member of E. S. Willard's company, who essays the roles of Lord Blister in "A Rogue's Comedy," and Epiphany Danks in "The Middleman,'" was pain fully injured in a battle with three highwaymen in Madison street near State early yesterday morning. The actor lies in his room at the Continental hotel disabled, with a wrenched knee, and bearing marks of blows on his face and head. Plucky resistance by Mr. Winter made the attempt at robbery futile, but pro voked his assailants to superfluous cru elty. While pedestrians, who saw the struggle and heard the victim's cries for help, were running toward the scene, the footpads struck the prostrate man several times before they took flight. They ran into an alley and escaped. Their victim was assisted to a cab and was driven to the Continental hotel. Many Poods of Oil Burn. Baku, Trans-Caucasia, April 6.

"ISE WATERED IN." tFrom the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.l The Post-Dispatch correspondent went by skiff from here at 6 o'clock this morning to all points possible by water in a radius of fifteen miles in every, direction from this city. It was a common sight to see rabbits or do mestic fowls floating on drittv.ood.deer on little islands here and there above water, and the starving creatures do not now fear the approach of man. In one instance a negress was calmly smoking a pipe on the roof of a log cabin, while a stream of water was running through the doors of her hut nearly up to the eaves of the roof. "What are you doing there, aunty?" we halloed. "Ise watered in," came the response. "Would you like us to take you. in?" we offered. "No, sah; I'll be skiffed out terectly." K. C, P. G. TO OMAHA.

Saloonists Thought They Were Privileged Characters Until Last Night Whoa Three of Them Were Taken Into Custody Hayslip's Place Had an Open Bar. There are three less joints in opera tion in Topeka today than there was prior to 5 o'clock yesterday evening, and the record at the county jail bears the names of nine men arrested for sell ing liquor. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday ev ening the sheriff's force made a raid on the jointists for whom warrants were 1 issued by County Attorney Jetmore yes terday afternoon. The places visited were the prosperous saloon of Al Hay slip in the basement of the building at 706 Kansas avenue, a small whisky joint presided over by Art Wellman, ex-policeman, and James Crow, jointist, at 726 Kansas avenue, and the room at 408 Kansas avenue, where, up to a few hours before. Will Lytle and Andy Wil liams, both colored, had dispensed liq uor in a small way. The proprietors of the latter place evidently received a tip of some kind that something was about to happen, as there was no sign of liq uor or joint when the officers made their evening call. The raid of Al Hayslip's place under' the Royal billiard hall, was the most important move that the officers made. Hayslip has for a long time conducted a thriving liquor business at this stand, and his room was fitted up in the most improved saloon style. A big ice box as high as the room would permit, stood at one end of a well finished bar, and beer pump and faucet were located handy to the touch of the white coated barkeeper. Several round tables, at which patrons might sit and enjoy their liquor or play for drinks, were located in different parts of the room. Deputy Sheriffs Larry Sheehan and Sam Kerr entered the place a few min utes after 5 o'clock, and at once placed Al Hayslip, his 15 year old son. Will Hayslip, Harry Tincher, the barkeeper, and Will Connelly, the colored porter' under arrest. The officers then pro ceeded with Hayslip to the saloon be low the billiard hall, and commenced the work of getting out the liquor and fixtures and loading them in an express wagon to be taken to the county jail. A big haul of liquor was made at the place. When the express wagon was loaded and ready to start for the jail, it contained two full kegs of beer, one case of bottled beer, three dozen quarts of whisky and four jugs of whisky and wine, besides eight empty beer kegs, glasses, beer pump and faucets. It con stituted one of the largest consign ments of liquor that the officers have ever secured in a raid on the joints of this city. While the Hayslip saloon was being robbed of its attractions. Under Sheriff Bert Lucas and Deputy Sheriff Albert Kuykendall were looking after two "cripples," or small joints, included in the warrants issued them by County Attorney Jetmore. The Wellman-Crow place at 726 Kansas avenue was first visited, and there Art Wellman was found. Under Sheriff Lucas placed the ex-policeman under arrest, and then seized what little stock in trade the joint contained. This consisted exclu sively of a few bottles ot whisky and a few glasses. No beer or evidence of beer was discovered. The joint was a shabby affair, being in a little parti tioned room back of a lone chair bar ber shop. After taking Wellman and. his stock to the county jail, the two officers vis ited the room in which Lytle and Wil liams were reuprted to be keeping a joint, but nothing was found. All the liquor, as well as the bar and acces sories, had been removed by the pro prietors and the room cleaned up. Wil liams was arrested at work in Colonel Holliday's yard, but Lytle was not found until this morning. Lucas was also unable to find Crow last night, but as he is out on $600 bond on a sim ilar charge, the officers are not partic ular about his appearance. At about 6 o'clock the quartette from the Hayslip place. Art Wellman and Andy Williams were grouped in the jailer's room in the county jail waiting for bondsmen, whom they had sent after, when another distinguished liq uor merchant of this city in the person of Carl Jockheck made his appearance. He was accompanied by Under Sheriff Lucas, who had arrested him a few minutes before on information furnish ed County Attorney Jetmore yesterday afternoon. This information is said to have been furnished by Leroy Roberts, a former partner of Jockheck, who pleaded guilty to selling liquor in the district court yesterday after noon. Roberts skipped town after he was arrested, and as Jockheck was one of his bondsmen he took an active part in bringing him back and placing him in jail. For this reason Roberts desired to get even with his former partner, and furnished evidence of Jockheck's actions in selling liquor in the past. Jockheck was not arrested on the charge of running a joint at present. The bonds of Al Hayslip, Harry Tin cher, Will Connelly and Will Hayslip were furnished by Lew Blackman. Each of the three men's bond was placed at $1,000 and the boy's at $100. The boy is said to have sold whisky at a small refreshment stand he kept in the billiard hall. Jockheck's bond was also placed at $1,000, and this was fur nished by Frank Durein. The bonds of Wellman, Lvtle and Williams were fixed at $200 each, and all were able to give security for that amount this morning. None of the jointists were locked up. Wellman was released from the coun ty jail but a short time ago on the con dition that he pay his fine, imposed for selling liquor in a building near the Throop hotel, in monthly installments. At present he owes over $100. When Wellman was released Chief of Police Henry Steele assured the county offi cers that the ex-policeman would not engage in the liquor business again. His release was partly secured through this assurance. The building in which Hayslip con ducted his saloon is in charge of the T. E. Bowman company. County Attorney Jetmore believes he will be in possession of further o i dence in a few days which will result in the raiding of several more joints. The ;ointists arrested last night will probably not be tried until the next term of court. But it is probable most of them will close up for awhile. It should be made a matter of public knowledge that DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve will speedily cure piles of the longest standing. It is the household favorite for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises and sores of all kinds. G. W. Stans field. 32 Kansas ave. NOVEL LATVI P SHADE. Jnst TkUe for the Work Tmble 08 Literary Man. -i.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. SJ T. Rorer, in telling' how to fry the small fish, quotes the old saying: "Small fish; should swim twice once in water and! once in oil." "Smelts, trout, whitebait, perch and catfish," she says, "are, per haps, more palatable fried than, broiledj Small fish may be stripped that is, the intestines may be pushed out under tho gills, so that the fish may retain their shape. Wash and dry, then dust with! salt and' pepper, d3p in egg and roll in breadcrumbs, or they may be rolled in cornmeal. Have ready a good-sized pan with sufiicient oil to cover. Put the fish in a frying basket, then into the oil! at a temperature of 3G0 degrees Fain-en -1 heit, and cook for about five minutes Drain on brown paper and serve. Whera a small quantity of fat is used, and the fish cooked on one side and then turned and cooked om the other, the methxxl is really not frying it is sautering; tha result is much more indigestible than; real frying. Catfish are frequently fried in. this way without being dipped in crumbs. Sunfish may be rolleif in flour or cornmeal and carefully fried in drip ping, oil or lard. A mixtureof dripping and lard makes a better frying material than lard alone. A pure vegetable oil is freer from danger cf disease germs than, either. Never use butter for fry ing fish; it boils at a low temperature, consequently burns quickly; the butyr ic acid softens, the fiber of the fish, de stroys the flavor, and causes it to be come soft as soon as taken from, the pan." Oranges Salted X.ik.e Hani. In order to insure the proper preserva tion of oranges and lemons, these fruits are salted in Italy as hams are here, although the process is slightly dif ferent. The fruit is culled while still green and carefully examined. Those found flawless are placed into salt wa ter, where they are left for from three to eight days, according to their state of maturity. They are then put away on shelves to dry and rest. Before be ing used they are placed into fresh wa ter until the (taste of salt is entirely gone. This treatment preserves the fruit with all its succulent and aromatia qualities. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. FOR SALE A fresh cow. good size. 6 years old. is young, 6 gallons of milk a day.

L, Dd CAUGHT THEM NAPPING Attorneys for Insurance Com panies Taken by Surprise By the Pleading Made by Webb McNall's Attorneys. Judge Foster Gives the Insurance Companies TJntil Next Monday to Prepare Their Answer. Whether or not Webb McNall, state superintendent of Insurance, is In con tempt of the United States circuit court for refusing- the Mutual Life of New York, the Connecticut Mutual and the New York Life insurance companies the right to do business in this state until they paid the long contested claim of Mrs. Sallie E. Hillmon, will be de cided by Judge Foster next Monday. After listening to three hours of argu ment bearing on the now famous ac tion of the insurance superintendent. Judge Foster took the case under ad visement at 5 o'clock yesterday even ing. In the order issued two weeks ago by Judge Foster, Webb McNall was cited to appear in the federal court at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. He was there ten min utes before the hour named, accompa nied by his counsel, Attorney General Boyle and x-Chief Justice Ijavid Mar tin, and this trio were the first to enter the court room. They were soon fol lowed by the attorneys for the insur ance companies and the court room then commenced filling with insurance agents, solicitors and attorneys of this city. The party of counsel for the in surance companies consisted of W. R. Smith of Kansas City, J. W. Green and George J. Barker of Lawrence, Eugene Ware of this city and Ed O'Bryan of Chicago, formerly state senator from Sedgwick county and now general western attorney for the New York Life Insurance company. Judge Foster was late. It was sev eral minutes past 2 o'clock when he set tled himself in the easy chair behind the bench and announced: "Gentlemen, I am at your service." Adjusting his glases and looking at some notes on his desk, he immediately added: "Let me see, this is the case against McNall, Isn't it?" "No, your honor, this is the case of Sallie E. Hillmon against the Mutual Life Insurance company and others, in which McNall is made a party for con tempt." The reply came from Attor ney General Boyle, who, in a position of ease, with his hands in his pockets and his legs thrust well under the table, was almost lost sight of in front o the robust form of Judge David Martin. "Oh, j'es, I remember now. Well, gentlemen, proceed with the case," said Judge Foster. Attorney General Boyle's attitude of ease at once turned to one of activity as he took the floor in response to Judge Foster's commanding invitation to pro ceed. His gaze sought some far-away object out the north window of the court room, and his fingers toyed with his watch chain as he slowly but em phatically remarked: "I want to first call your honor's attention especially to the fact that this is a contempt pro ceeding; that McNall is summoned here to answer for a contempt of this court." His gaze shifted and fixed itself on Mc Nall. sitting in a seat on the jury stand. "I don't care to say much just now, but I desire to file special appear ance and motion on behalf of McNall, which I will read to your honor." This special appearance and motion of McNall, which Mr. Boyle read, moved that the proceedings of the insurance companies be dismissed, and the order citing him to appear for contempt quashed, vacated and set aside, for the following reasons. First, because the federal court had no jurisdiction in the matter before it: second, that under the laws of the state of Kansas the superintendent of Insur ance has the right to exercise his dis cretion in issuing or refusing to issue a license to any insurance company; third, because the eleventh amendment to the constitution limits the federal courts from extending to any suit in law or equity com menced against one? of the Unit ed States by citizens of another state; fourth, that it has been judicially determined by the supreme court of Kansas that the superintendent of in surance is intrusted with the exclusive control of the insurance department, and that there is no appeal from his determination nor any power of review in officer or tribunal recognized by law; fifth, because none of the three insur ance companies have the right to do business in the state further than per mitted by the limitations of the state; ixth, because these proceedings are an attempt to treat with contempt the powers and rights of the state of Kan sas, and is an effort to induce the fed eral court to usurp the powers of the EtAseit afterwards turned out, this mo tion was in the shape of a surprise to the attorneys for the insurance com panies. They did not expect quite such a pleading and were not exactly prepared to meet it. When Mr. Boyle finished reading he laid the motion on the table, and it was quickly picked up by George J. Barker, the leading at torney for the other side, who scanned it with a rather troubled air. In the meantime the attorney general was cit ing authorities on the question of con tempt, holding that to be a contempt an act must be committed in the pres ence or immediate vicinity of a fed eral court while in session. When Mr. Boyle sat down, Mr. Bar ker arose and said: "Your honor, we expected a very dif ferent pleading from the one entered in this motion by the other side in this case. If we are to argue the case on the points involved in this motion, I think it will probably be necessary to continue the case and give us time to prepare. We haven't the authorities here now and are hardly ready to go on with the case. Of course, we might procure the authorities," he added, as he resumed his seat. "Well, gentlemen." said Judge Fos ter "I really supposed you were ready to try this case this afternoon, and would have your authorities here. There is nothing in the motion read by Mr. Boyle that is surprising or unexpected in the least, and it seems to me that it is just the stand that side might have been expected to take." "We are ready to go on with the case, your honor," interposed Attorney Gen eral Boyle. "I should like to hear the case this afternoon, gentlemen," said Judge Fos ter "There is an act of congress which says something about contempt pro ceedings when any person by force or intimidation shall interfere with the proper administration of justice. I wish one of you gentlemen would read me that." By this time Ed O'Bryan and J. TV. G'-een, who had made a rush for the clerk's office when Judge Foster an- I nounced he would go on with the case. returned loaded wxth authorities, and after a few minutes' search Me O'Bryan found the particular act and read it to Judge Foster. Attorney Green then entered into an argument for his side, holding that Mc Nall's action in shutting out the insur ance companies from doing business in this stat, and the publicity that action received in the newspapers, was a con tempt on the part of Mr. McNall, for the reason that he sought to Interfere with a case then pending in the federal court. He was followed by Eugene Ware and George J. Barker, all holding that a contempt was not confined to an ac tion in the presence or in the immedi ate vicinity of the court while in ses sion so long as it affected a case then pending in that court. Attorney General Boyle closed the ar guments, still holding to the point he made at the opening of the case, that an act was not a contempt unless com mitted in the presence or immediate vicinity of the court while in session, as construed by the statute of limita tions governing the federal courts. Incidental to informing the attorneys when the case would be disposed of, Judge Foster made a statement in ref erence to the discretionary powers of the superintendent of insurance which plainly shows his views on that point. "In this special motion," said he, "a de cision of the supreme court is cited re garding the discretionary powers of the superintendent of insurance. I am not familiar enough with that decision to know if it is correct that it holds that an officer vested with discretionary powers can abuse those powers and oc cupy such an autocratic position that there can be no appeal from it. I hope such is not correct. If it is correct, it is assuredly an extraordinary state of affairs, and is carrying discretionary powers farther than any rule yet known." WALTER FE ALE'S MEXICAN Jose Luna's First Visit to Topeka Proves Interesting. Walter Veale, who has lived in the City of Mexico for the past two years is in Topeka on a short visit with his parents. His wife, who was Miss Anna Wilson, is with him. Mr. Veale brought with him his Mex ican coachman, who has attracted much attention on the streets of Topeka. It is Jose Luna, a young Mexican 28 years of age. He wears his Mexican suit consisting of skintight trousers, a little linen jacket, pointed toe shoes and an immense black sombrero. This is his every day costume. He also has a fancy black coat and an elaborate serape of red and black which is the pride of Jose's heart. Jose Luna is a good natured fellow and he laughs most of the time. He cannot speak English. Many funny things have happened to him since his arrival here. He is the delight of the kodak fiend. And be is always willing to pose for a picture. Saturday an amateur photographer attempted to procure a portrait, Jose Luna didn't understand what was wanted. When he found out he rush ed into a bicycle store on Quincy street and led out a wheel. Then he posed for the picture, standing by the bicycle, But he can't ride one. Yesterday numerous pictures were taken of him. He dressed up in his fancy costume for the occasion and was photographed "good and plenty." Saturday night Jose attended the Sal vation Army meeting. He sat down pretty well in front. When they began beating the drum and waving red flags, the Mexican became frightened and ran out. He told a Spaniard who is in the city that it looked just like an invasion of the Spanish. ATTORNEYS' FEE BONDS. A Peculiar Transaction by Which. Ar kansas City liaised Money. The state school fund commissioners have refused to purchase $11,000 in bonds issued by the city o Arkansas City some years ago. The reasons for declining to invest the ate permanent school fund in those se curities have developed an interesting and peculiar transaction. It appears that some years ago the city of Arkansas City Voted a certain amount of bonds to the D., M. A. railroad. When the bonds fell due, the city, for good and sufficient reasons, the principal one being the non-fulfilment of contract by the railroad company, re sisted the bonds in court and succeeded in evading payment. To accomplish the defeat of the bonds In court it was necessary to employ le gal talent. J. Mack Love, who was chairman of the state Democratic campaign com mittee last year, and still occupies the position, was one of the lawyers em ployed. To pay the attorney's and oth er expenses the city issued bonds to the amount of $11,000, which were purchased by J. J. Wright of Kansas City, Kan., who secured the services of ex-Senator H. B. Kelly of Lawrence to negotiate the sale to the school fund commission ers. The commissioners declined to pur chase the bonds which they regarded as unsafe investments. Mr. Wright then came to Topeka and conrerred with the board, but accomplished nothing. The commissioners have been inform ed that the bonds will be resisted when they fall due; that there is already a suspicion in the minds of the Arkansas City authorities that the bonds are il legal is clearly proven by the communi cations which have .been received with reference to them.

The Topeka Kindergarten association How has eight schools for the training of very young children and the total membership at present is something over 250. The schools are pretty even ly divided over the city and they are receiving substantial encouragement from the citizens of Topeka who have young children, and by those possess ing advanced views on reform. Four years ago today the Topeka Kindergarten association was organiz ed by a few earnest men and women. There -were great obstacles to be over come and much prejudice to battle against, but the work was pushed on until now the kindergarten in Topeka is a fixture. A distinguished man has paid of kindergarten schools: "I know of what I speak when I say that these schools by the help of God. are solving the problem which has been the despair of statesmen." The watchword of the association which is used as a powerful argument In favor of the kindergarten is "that it aims to prove that it is cheaper to sup port kindergartens than prisons, and that prevention, not reform the kind ergarten, not the prison is true phil anthropy." The Topeka Kindergarten association Js not a money making scheme as some might suppose. It is carried on by voluntary contributions. It is a suc cessfully tested system of reform, work ing along the higher plane of sociology. The members of the association are among Topeka's most influential and Intellectual ladies. The aim is to have the schools partially self-supporting, at least. When the child of a well-to-do parent attends, that parent is expected to pay a small tuition. But the poor man s child can attend the schools free and receive the same amount of atten tion and care as the rich man's child. This is the purpose of the association, and this is one reason why it has been eo successful. Mrs. T. E. Bowman is the president of the association, and the other offi cers are, first vice president, Mrs. J. H. Hunt; second vice president. Mrs. T. H.

Some of these have proven practicable, while others did not warrant further main tainance. The schools at Westminster Presbyterian church, which was start ed last fall as a private one, the one at Bethany college,' and the Auburndale kindergarten have been discontinued by the association. There has been a new one opened at the Central Congrega tional church which is most promising. The east side kindergarten is situa ted at Fifth and Monroe streets and has SO children in attendance. This has been open at this place only since Christmas, and is said to make a good showing for the length of time in op eration. Miss Nettie Miller is the prin cipal in charge. Mrs. Harry Overholt is the principal of the school at the Central Congrega tional church and the enrollment is now 40. The largest number of children in at tendance at any of the schools is at the ine in T nnesseetown. There are now 50 little colored tots attending there. Miss Margaret Adams is the principal in charge. At the Lowman Hill school there are 30 children in attendance, and Miss Mabel Quigley is the principal. A private kindergarten is conducted on lower Polk street by Misses Harriet Broad and Kate Searle which is under the supervision of the association and there are about 31 little ones there. The Santa Fe school is located at the Third Presbyterian church on Fourth street in Parkdale and is a flourishing one. There are 4n children enrolled and Miss Bertha Worden is the principal. The colored school at the industrial institute in South Topeka has 30 chil dren and Mrs. Edwin Stephens is the principal. The First ward school which meets at Grant school is in charge of Mrs. W. H. Paramore and there are 25 children at tending. Besides the principals in each of these schools there are young lady as sistants. These assistants are assign ed to their duties by Mrs. Worden in rotation. At present there are seven assistants as follows: Misses Sarah Knapp, Alice Evans, Minnie Calvin, Margaret George, Helen Sheehan and Gejtrude Dick. As new schools are opened or vacan cies occur in principal's positions these assistants will be promoted, and the young ladies of this year's training class will next year be employed as assistants in the schools. Children from the ages of four to seven years are taken into the Topeka kindergartens. They are educated physically, mentally and morally, the "Froebel" system being used. There is no distinction made as to race, nation ality or religion. In several cases the schools are maintained in church build ings. In these cases the association has supervision, but the church people usually see that the school is properly supported. The fundamental principle of the kindergarten work is along the line of the old saying that "The way the twig's bent, the tree's inclined." There is an education in it for the teachers as well as the pupils, for to be able to teach a child properly includes a wide experience and a talent besides. The Topeka Kindergarten association is doing good work and it is apprecia ted by all who know of its workings. The objectors to it are not so promi nent now.

W. H. Crane, the actor, is in Kansas City this week playing at the Coates. A local paper says: People in the west, and particularly in Kansas, feel well acquainted with Crane. One of his famous parts was a copy of a Kansas senator, Plumb, and Plumb himself said it was good. Out of all the senators he had known and had an opportunity to study. Crane chose the Kansas man as typical and Plumb appreciated it. It laid the foun dation for a life long friendship. They never forgot each other. Plumb's famous facial characteristic was the short chin beard he always wore. Had he shaved it off he would not have been Plumb to the cartoonist and the public. "It was my effort," said Crane to a Times reporter yesterday, "not to be Plumb, but to resemble him. I remem ber an incident of him that happened on one of the occasions on which he visit ed my dressing room in New York city. He always did that when he wa3 in town. If he caught the midnight train west he invariably came to the theater after dinner, about 9 o'clock, and sat with me an hour or so. On one occasion I noticed he had let his chin whiskers grow a little longer than usual and I said to him: "Senator, will you pardon me if I comment a little on your personal ap pearance?" 'Why, yes,' said he, 'of course, but what's the matter? Ain't I all right.' 'O, yes.' I said; 'but you'll really have to trim those whiskers or after awhile you't get so you won't look a bit like me.' "The next time I saw him he had had the whiskers trimmed." All the lithographs of Crane as the senator show him with a silk hat on his head. As a matter of fact, this may have been typical of senators in general but it was not characteristic of Plumb in particular. "I had my attention called to that once," said Mr. Crane, "and during one of the evenings Plumb and I spent to gether, I mentioned it to him. 'Senator,' I said, 'I have been told Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. i p A Pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. Hat Snaps 25 doz.

Kansas1 Avenue that I make a mistake in representing you as wearing a silk hat as I do in the first act of "The Senator.' 'I never wore a silk hat but once," said Plumb; 'and I'll tell you how that was;' and this is the story: Plumb won the hat from an Ohio man in an election bet, and since he had wn he insisted that he would wear it if it killed him; it nearly worried the life out of him, for he wasn't used to that sort of head covering. Invariably when he got into a car riage he mashed it against the top of the doorway or against the roof of the carriage when he arose. It was con stantly being knocked off and It wasn't long till he had a broken place about the top of the crown that made it look rather shabby. Plumb took the hat to Kansas with him, and when he began one of his campaigns soon afterwards he took It with him. During the campaign he made a speech in a small town in northern Kansas. He stopped at the little coun try hotel, and, after the speech of the afternoon, the landlord said to him: "Air. Plumb, I don't like to have to speak to you on so delicate a subject, but I want to tell you that the boys here don't like to see you wear a silk hat." "No?" said Plumb. "Why?" "Well, it may be sentiment," said the landlord, "but you understand how it is with plain country people who don't understand such things. You are a serv ant of the people, and the boys all like you, but it looks a little as though you were trying to put it over them some in this silk hat business, and I hate to hear remarks made about you on ac count of it." "Well,"'sald Plumb,"I hadn't thought of that phase of it; perhaps you are right." "I was just going to add," said the landlord, "that now you don't want the hat, and as it is broken around the top a little, you might let me have it. I can have the top part of the crown cut off a couple of inches where it is broken, and my wife can sew the top in again. I can stand the criticism of putting on airs all right, and if you are willing, I'll take the hat and give you a dollar for it." Plumb gave the man the hat, but re fused the dollar. And that was the last time Plumb ev er wore a silk hat. Woe Among the Riffraff A large crowd of men and women from Smoky Row was at police court yesterday afternoon to hear the cases against Bee Adams and Annie Clay, two colored people who were charged with selling intoxicating liquor. Min Saunders, who was arrested for keep ing a disorderly house, thought her arrest was caused-by Adams and tne Clay woman. Accordingly she is said to have had them arrested on the charge of selling liquors. The two wo men live close together, near Crane and Monroe streets. In police court they al most came to blows and they used bad language. There was not sufficient ev idence against "Bee" Adams and Annie Clay, and they were released by Judge Atchison.

Because in tropical countries more decayed vegetable matter is found and in consequence more miasma, the idea has become popular that only vig orous health and longr life ar likely in northern latitudes where frost now and then asserts Itself. The fact that hu manity matures much earlier in tropi cal climes seems to warrant the con clusion that it must necessarily perish much earlier. Dr. Luigri Sambon of Rome attempts to put these- popular impressions to sleep by an elaborate exhibition of statistics.

While northern climateg may produce stalwart frames, statis tics show that they do not conduce to longevity. In proof of his position the doctor cites the fact that the average Arab outlives the average Esquimau by not less than 25 years. He shows that the people who live along the un healthful coasts of Central and South America survive the inhabitants of the higher and cooler altitudes of the in terior. He shows also that the Hin dus, who often reach puberty as early as 9 years live to a surprising old age. The inhabitants of the southern coun tries of Europe are found to live much longer than those of more northern lat itudes. To illustrate. In England, in a population of 27,000.000 there but 146 centenarians, while in Spain, with a population of but 13,000,000 there ar 401 centenarians. JL
