responsibility for the womans' ticket
lately elected at Cottonwood Falls
EMPORIA NEWS.
Yes; and we wish the press of the
state to distinctly understand that it
was not gotten up as a slur on the wo-
men composing it, not as a joke, but with
due respect for them and firm de-
termination to elect them; and that the
"bum" element, if we have any such
thing in this city, knew nothing about
the tickets until after they had been
distributed through the postoffice.-

oCLINToN b. FISK, the leader OF the
prohibition party last fall, has thrown
up the sponge since Massachusetts
went Hades bent against prohibition,
and returned to the republican party.
In taking that step, Brother Fisk de-
serts not only prohibition, but tariff
reduction as well, an important plank in
the platform on which he made his
fight last fall. While popular MAORI
ties have been going against prohibit
ton, it was not so with tariff reduction
for which their was popular major
ity of nearly 100 600 votes. Brother Fisk
may be going with the crowd in aban-
ing prohibition, but not as to the tariff
This little matter does not amount tc
much except as another manifestation
of political regeneration which mel

SILCOTTS VICTIMS.
Meeting of Congressmen Who
Lost by the Great Steal.
Whereabouts of the Missing Cashier
are Still Unknown.

Mr.. Leedom's Attorney Says Members Of
the House Should Not Lose Their SAL
aries because of the Embezzlement.
WAsHINaToN, Dec. 10.-The Office OF
the sergeant-at-arms of the House was
besieged yesterday by notaries with
notes given members which had been
allowed to 60 topr6test. AS the fee in
each protest case is $1.50, the notaries
did thriving business.
Mr.. Leedom, the ex-sergeant-at-arms
has detectives at Montreal and Quebec
looking out for Silcott Leedom does
not believe the story from Montreal that
Silcott and HIS mistress are at promi-
hent hotel there. He thinks that IL
the story is true his detective at Mont
real would have reported the fact.
The investigating committee was
ready for work yesterday morning, with
Mr.. Adams, of Illinois, in the chair
Several congressman submitted plans
for the distribution OF the money for
salaries OF members still remaining in
the .sergeant-at-arms' Office. Mr.. Mills
outlined plan which he thought would
be satisfactory, because Of its fairness.
He held that as the loss had occurred in
November, 1t should be borne by all
those members who had receipted for
the November pay. Tho. remaining
money, he Thought, should bo distrib-
uted among all the members who had
receipted for the months from March to
November, and whose money Silcott
had made of with.
The report 10 the House will be ready
TO be submitted on Wednesday. 1t has
not been decidedwhether the committee
will favor any particular recommends
tions on the question as to the authority
given to the sergeant-at-arms to dis
burse money for the House. Most. of tho
members of the committee favor simply
submitting the salient points in the ar
guments that have been made on this
question and leaving the House to de-
eide where the loss shall fall.

District Attorney for the District Of CO.

dictment brought against the absent
cashier. e. rrr.astsa, IA
Mr.. Leedom's legal adviser thinks tho
individual members Of Congress should
not lose their salaries on account Of tho
embezzlement. He believes that the
sergeantat-arms isa properly authorized
disbursing officer, but maintains that
Leedom's bondsmen can not DO held &C.
countable for the loss, because theit
bond expired with the Fiftieth Con.
gress, for which 1t was given. Mr.. Lee
dom is willing TO turn over the $40, 900
that he possesses should 1t bo decided
that he is responsible for the loss, with
out the formality Of civil suit. The
S14,5OO which Silcott paid into the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank, in order to
take up forged notes which would be
sufficient evidence to extradite him,
will probably be the cause Of a suit. II
is claimed that this money belongs to
the Government, and suit will have to
be entered to recover 1t.

DEATH IN THE WIRES.

Another Now York Electric Light Line
man Moets His Fate While Suspended
In Mid-Air.
New YORK, Dec. 10,-Another death
By contact with electric light wires oc-
ourred Monday, strongly resembling in
Its details the horrible killing Of line
man Feeks some weeks ago. Peter
Clausen, employed as lineman by the
Northern New York Electric Light
Company, climbed pole at Third ave-
nue. and Ono Hundred and Fifty-sixth
street to do some repairing. A few mo-
ments later little girl playing on the
sidewalk heard Kissing noise above
her, and, looking up, saw Clausen lying
lying across two wires, with blush
light shooting from his right hand and
head. Her cries quickly brought crowd
to the scene and several policemen set
about the task Of extricating Clausen's
body from the wires.
The pole is within reach Of station
Of the Elevated railroad and the rescu-
ing party operated from the platform OF
the station. A rope was thrown around
Clausen's body, but so strong was the
grip which held him to the wires that II
could not be loosened. While pulling
on the rope Thomas Smith, driver, who
had voluteered to aid the officers,
touched the body and received shock
which knocked him senseless. He was
taken to drug store and by the use OF
stimulants revived. Finally an officer
cut one OF the wires with an axe and the
body was then easily removed. Life wai
extinct. The right hand and arm up Il

Referring to the subject Of union Of

will lay aside personal feelings and
prejudices and carefully look at the con-

district and from them to that Of the
miners of the entire country, they will
certainly give any honest movement to
solidify the forces their hearty cooper
