In THE WRONG oFFICE-OFF ON HIi

entered the NEWS Office and presented
letter of depicted sorrow, big words
and poor spelling, running down Kan
sas, and also letter of appeal for finan
cial assistance. We did not know bu
the fellow wanted the documents print
ed in the form of a circular. He appear
ed TO be deafmute, and his letter stat
ed that he was in Kansas for the thirt
time. He had been here first a number
of years ago, and a second time later, anC
was now here again. Said he found the
last trip was more and more against him
That he was an honest working man
and found that Kansas was no place fol
such. In reply to our written question
about printing his circular letter (as hi
could not hire halD he shook his head
and wrote that he did not want any
printing, that there would an article ap
pear, from his pen we judged, in the Kan
sas City Times soon and it would not dc
Kansas any good, either.
We replied on the paper that we be
lieved in Kansas, up here, and that he
was evidently in the wrong office.
He grasped our reply, crushed it in his
hand and punched the pencilled response
into the stove, went through various con
tortions of the face and body and back
cd out of the door.
Now, this fellow may, or may not be q
fraud, but he shows poor grace and judg
ment when he cries down the people Of
whom he is asking assistance.

The members and friends Of this clul
met in the public school room over FOx''
book store, last evening, to listen TO the
literary exercises Of the club, which were
of unusual interest. Prof NJ. r. Cook
read an essay on Hereditary transmits
sion, which was well received, and
worthy the careful consideration Of all
who heard it. The debate was between
Profs. WEIGH and Davis, on the subject
Resolved that higher institutions Of
learning should not be supported by the
state. Prof WEIGH was assisted by Rev
DIR. CordleY Prof. DAVIS, by Rev's. Thos
Burrows and G.. Gates. 1t is needless To
say that the large audience was interest

interest TO Kansas, and will be made

SPRAGUE-CONKLING.
A Defense of Mrs. sprague ue-The Basis Of
Her Intimacy With Conkling

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-Mrs. Swishelm, In let
ter to the Tribune, defends Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague. She said Mrs. Sprague did send
bouquets and notes to Conklings desk. This
would seem to indicate that her mode Of lob
byipg was of the most graceful, highly APP
proved and innocent kind. Had her relations
with Senator Conkling been criminal, they
would scarcely have blossomed out into these
public manifestations. That very small pat
tern Of man. her husband, once proposedi In
the United States Senate to employ and pay
lady clerks In the departments on the same
plan that he did factory girls. and all the soul
he has must have been rafting around in his
little body like a grain OF mustard seed In a
dry gourd, or he would have gone to Washing
ton last winter on the first hint OF scandal
and quietly notified Senator Conkiing that he
had rights at stake and children to protect.
The fact that Senator Conkling went openly
to Sprague's house, taking his trunk. shows
that Mr.. Sprague had not given him reason
to understand that he would not be welcome.
The whole affair seems like another instance
Of Kates constitutional wiilfulness and habit
ual defiance of Mrs. Grundy. For her fathers
sake, and that of her sisters and children, and
for the sake Of truth and fair dealing, trust
that the most generous allowance Will be
made for her. She has, no doubt, been using
Mr.. Conklng to procure government favor
for herself and family, but this does not prove
that she has been false to herself and broken
her VOWS as wife,

THE WALLACE COMMITTEE.
Investigating the Massachusetts Election of
l378-some Interesting Develop
ments Expected.

Boston, Aug. 13-The Wallace investi-
eating committee, which arrived here from
Providence yesterday, began taking testi-
mony to-day relative to the operations Of the
Federal supervisory law concerning elections
and the alleged cases of bulldoztng and in
Limitations at the elections in 1916 and 1878.
United States Commissioner Eallett, chief
supervisor of elections, was examined and
testified that he found between 1900 and 1900
names on the city voting lists illegally; that
he had no doubt, personally, but that there
We're from $500 to 5000 fraudulent names on
them, and this was due to the defective
system of registration in vogue here for
generations. He considered man liable to
arrest by Federal officials who simply voted
for State officers, If In SO doing he violated
State or Federal statutes on elections. Local
elections, thus far have been peaceable and
fair, and the witness was of the opinion that
the Federal supervisory law was not designed
to overreach local statutes, but to aid In the
detection and punishment of fraud. No con-
fiict had taken place between the State and
Federal officers, and the parties had expressed
satisfaction with the operation Of the Federal
laws.
Other witnesses will be called tomorrow,
and the investigation promises to reveal in-
terestiDg details, especially In regard to
alleged Illegal bulldozing In the State elec-
tion of 1878.
