"a fine figure Of q woman" as Joe Gar

as broad spread of canvas 40 the yachts
Puritan or Volunteer. Her age ranges prob
ably between forty and forty-tive, her fig
ure is practically embonpoint, but her face
is rosy with health and her features still
preserve the stamp of beauty. Her eyes
are big and gray, scintillating under the
flashes OF dark eyelashes and brows, and
were her attire less pronounced she would
be styled elegant This lady enters the re-
cepLion room, ana sends ner card to several
members, who at once respond, and soon
she is surrounded by coteric OF conscript

all, inviting them to call at her residence,

with the driver in livery. Sometimes She

This lady is professional lobbyist, and

Whispers in the air are heard occasionally
In criticism Of her private character from
those OF her own sex, but, says the gallant
correspondent Of the Kansas City Times,
neither man nor woman has ever brought
forward an accusation direct and positive
80 far as it is generally known. She has
had her fingers, however, in many Con-

"Womanhood"-a background of misty
gray, shadows soft and dreamy, woman
hoatlng through the shadows, with white
arms raised high above her head, clothed
only In thin, gray draperies, trailing and
taulnS into the clouds in which sho floated.
Every curve of the cleaning white limbs,
every line of the slender body was revealed
by the cltnEing, transparent folds, which
only heightened the loveliness they could
not conceal, and fell away softly from the
1ull, white throat and snowy breast. The
lace was uplIfted and turned slightly away,
In an exquisite pose, but something in the
chaste lines Of the beautiful figure revealed
all the purity, sacredness and ideality of
womanhood. Men, says the New York Sun,
looked at the picture with earnest faces.
Womens chatter hushed as they approached

High up in an old tenement-house with
dark passages, and up tumble-down stairs,
In tiny room woman sat crouching over
smoking fire, endeavoring to coax it's
Goals into life and warmth. Her dress was
old and fuded and soiled, tear on the
shoulder revealing the white flesh; her
shoes were ragged and down at the heel,
fastened by one or two buttons; her hands
were smirched with coal dust. A frowsy
boy came banging into the room with a bun
In one hand and q greasy newspaper in the
other. Here's the paper the boss sent up
TO your man, and is he any better, he SAYS"
he Is worse," answered the woman,
alphabetically, as she took up the paper and
went into another tiny room where, on q
ragged couch, man with consumption was
watching her with burning eyes. She
turned the paper to the art notes, and, after
little search said: ''The picture has sold
for 1000, and l only had $50 for the pose,
and 1T was so hard and made my arms ache
SO couldn't fix 'eu in the night so could
go to sleep. The GOALS nearly out and the
rent isn't paid, and your medicine is all
gone"
'What was the pose, Annie?"
''This. SeeG' She raised slowly on one
toe and threw her hands above her head.
The clinging, limp, faded dress outlined
curves of gracious beauty, the soiled sleeves
fell back from dimpled white arms; the
hands, save where the coal smirches black
ened them, were white as snow, and they
were faultless in shape. Through the rent
in her dress the bare shoulder CLEANED like
marble, and the loosely=fastened collar
slipped back from full, beautiful throat.
the gray dusk Of the twilight shrouded her
with dreamy shadows and the uplifted face
was turned awuy.

Blown to Atoms.

NV YORK, February 23.-George Smith,
aged go, was instantly killed by an expIo-
sion Of dynamite. Smith was foreman Of
a gang of iabOrers engaged IN digging out
cellars at Seventy sixth street and the b0ule-
ward. preparatory to the erection of fat
houses. The man entered the tool box
and almost Immediately a terrific explosion
took place. Smith was literally blown to
atoms. In the tool box had been stored $50
pounds of dynamite to be used for blasting
purposes, and in some unac -Ountable way
Smiths entrance into the box caused the
stuff TO explode, but just no vii never be
learned. Windows of houses for a quarter
of a mile were shattered by the concu ssjOn.
There are two large holes three fest in dep.b
where the tool box stood.

Fraud Twenty-Three Years Old.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, February 28.-Ths
county commissioners of WyandOtte county,
Kan.9 recently appropriated $4,000 for a
new superstrGcture of what Is know as the
southern bridge over the Kansas river.
While the contractor was inspecting the
bridge he removed the cap to Ons OF the
piers and discovered that instead of being
filled with the proper materials it had been
filed with sand. Further investigation
showed that even the stone was crumbled,
and it is said by experts that the cost of the
construction could not have exec 5ded $780,
eco, The bridge was built in 1865 aud the
county paid $50, 900 for the work. 1t Is not
known as yet what has become of the orig
iDaI contractors in the twenty three years
that have elapsed since the work was done,
but it is very likely that steps will be taken
to ascertain their Whereabouts.

COMBINE B.
The Presidents Agreement Hi
nalIy Signed.
After the Long Delay Seventeen of the
western Roads Fully Organize the
Interstate Commerce Railway : $50
citation. Four Others Refuse to Sign.

CH1oAGO, February 23.-The proposition
to perfect the organization of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association with the
lines that have signed the presidents agree
ment, instead OF laboring further with the
companies that have refused to sign, was
carried and the association Is now a fact
The membership Is composed of eighteen
roads ont Of the twenty-five which were at
first deemed necessary to the agreement.
The Wisconsin Central for some uneX-
plained reason changed its decision from
Deln8 party TO the contract, notWIGnstand-
ing its emphatic declaration that 1t could
not do SO If the Chicago, Burlington d
Northern remained out. General Manager
Millens OF the Wisconsin Central was pres
ent with full authority to sign the articles of
agreement.
Vice President Harrison of the Burling-
ton q Northern appeared before the meet
ing and explained that his company, in JUS
tice to itself, could not consistently become
a member Of the association unless its prin-
cipai competitors on seabOard traffic were
also taken IN This was given as the final
answer Of the Burlington q Northern to the
urgent requests 1t has received to reconsider
Its determination.
When the presidents first convened they
heard the report OF the committee appoint
ed on the previous evening to make such
changes in the details of the contract as
might be necessary or SEpsdient. The COM
m1ttee made no alterations except to strike
out the prOV1so IN regard TO the number OF
signatures to make it binding, and recon-
mended that the agreement be adopted as it
stood. An animated discussion followed,
but the DIRECTORS were finally brought into
line and the following named companies
signed the agreement, with the understand
ing that it become effective Immediately:
The Chicago d Alton, the hook Island, the

Another Ohio Counsv Treagurer.

CRCLEymnE, O., February psf was
quietly whispered in business circles that
James M. Lane, county treasurer Of Picka-
way county, had abscOndsd and was a de-
fauIter to the amount of from SIG, 600 to
$1G0, 200. Lane left to visit his farm, twelve
miles away, and was to return next day, but
did not. Notice was given to his bondsmen,
an investigation. The count makes the
shortage about $47, 900; this has accrued
since last September, when an examination
was made. Lane Is said to have been Fsgu-
lar in his habits and to have been a patron
of bucket shops. He has a small family.
he was serving his second term, having been
elected by the democrats in 1886.

The Elected Oklahoma Boomers.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, February 23.-Ths
lot of the Oklahoma boomers is not happy
one. During the past ten days all of the
boomers who were elected some time ago
have gone back into the forbidden territory
and have been joined by numerous others,
attracted thitheE by the recent discovery Of
ore supposed to be largely collaborating.
The hOms-seekeFs and gold-hunters were
not allowed 10 remain In the land OF prom
Use, however, q company of soldiers 100
strong arrived from ct. Sill and Oncs more
elected the boomers, bag and baggage, The
elected boomers are now encamped Just
south of Purcell, 1. T., and have started
town called South Purcell. Instructions
were given the boomers by the officers com
handing the troops to keep ont Of Oklaho-
ma until they ara allowed to enter by law,
for as often as they cross over tbs line they
will be put out until congress opens up the
territory. Quite a number Of the speei-
mems of ora recently discovered in OklahO-
ma have been received here, and the ore is
apparently very rich. Several experienced
miners have examined these ores at Purcell,
within the last few days ard pronounced
them as fine as any found IA Colorado. Sew
eraf parties left here for Purcell TO join the
boomers there, induced to this step by the
hope of getting good mining claims when
Oklahoma Is opened, and the prospects
seem to be good for as great a rush to the
new territory as there was IN California
IN 1919.

CHEYENNE, WYo., February 23.-Mrs. Kate
Maxwell, the ''BeIIe Starr" of wyoming,
closed up a gambling houss at Bessemeye
and recovered several thousand dollars
which had been lost by her cowboys, and
then saved the lives of the two gamblers
just as the infuriated cowboys were going to
string them up. She is known as Cattle
Kate, ana has small ranch near BESSIE
mere. Kate was robbed Of $1,000 by her
own men, and her resentment was aroused
against the gamblers. Their room at Besse-
mere was crowded Monday night, when
Kate strobe in, accompanied by her fore
man, and both armed to the teeth. While
Kate covered the dealer with a sIx-shOcter,
Mason, her foreman, secured the box and
showed the crowd that the game was an IN
fair or "brace" one. This enraged tbs COW
boys and Farley and BOdeu ys3re terribly
beaten and ordered to prepare f5r lynchiug.
The ropes were in sight, when "Oattle Kate
interceded for ths two wretches, and an
nounced that she would divide their money
amounting to several thousand dollars
which she had secured.

commons after the reading of the Queens

throne, condsmning the administration of
law in Ireland as harsh, unjust and Opprss-
siVe, and asking that me lsuras be adopted
to content the irish and re-estabIish real
union of Great Britain and Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone was enthusiastically Cheered
by the opposItlon on ent9rIng the house
while the opposition hissed him and shouted
''Piggott." Mr.. Smith was similarly
crested.
It is universally admitted that the session

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
Wednesday.
SENATE


TOPEKA, February zO-It is evident now
to every member, what old ones knsW at the
opening of the session, that all attempts to
suspend rules to allow a bill on the calendar
or to put bills on special order results IN
great delay OF business and generally delays
tn very bills intended to be advanced.
1t IS g lesson that new members always have
to learn.
The house having amended the university
appropriation bill, so as not to allow the re-
gents any pay except their actual expenses,
the question Of concurrence in this amend
ment came up and caused considerable de-
bate. 1t was not coucurred IN and went
back to the house. The whole forenoon was
spent in routine business.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The senate at once took up the Judicial
appOrhOnment bill. 1t creates seven new
districts and regulates the time of holding
court IN all the counties of the various dis
tricEs. Ali went along smoothly till the ter
ritOry IN the southeast part of the state,
especially Labette and Crawford counties,
when the food gates of eloqueuce was again
opened and kept open all the afternoon.
HOUSE.
After the routine business this morning
the house went onto third reading of bills
and continued at 1t till adjournment. There
were on the calendar for third reading
ninety-f1Ve bills and unless they are Omni-
bused many of them will fail of passage or
else other important legislation win not be
reached.
The house was on third reading of bills
all the afternoon. None of the bills were of
much interest, many of them being local.
EVENING SESSION.
The senate grand jury bill was amended
so as to have a grand jury IN 1883 and every
two years thereafter. anda none at other
times unless requested by the county board
of the county.
It passed the bill to provide for supreme
court commissioners three years longer.
At one time twenty clerks and members
were reading twenty bills at one time. OF
course, no one could hear a word said. Then
one roll call decided them all passed. They
we're claimed to be local bills.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-03-08

election there had been no caucus on Esvd-
nue. bills and the majority WRs falling. IL
had passed the bill only to have it Snascu-
lated by the senate. he believed that party
policy and not individual opinion snoutd
govern. If the Mills bill were further In
sisted upon there Woald be no revenue re-
dueti0n. If something was not done now
the democratic party Wouldnot have another
opportunity IN uV6 years.
Mr.. Grain offered the Randall substitute
for the CoWIes bill with the free list Of the
senate bin as an opportune measure de
estimate that it would reduce the revenue
$50, 00O, 600 on tobacco and So 100000 on the
free list.
Mr. Cowles said he was tired OF SQUAD
bling, and talked plainly about the proeras-
GnatIon OF the ways and means committee.
and how they had put him of time and
again when he begged them to report
tobacco bill one way or another. The peo-
pie did not care about what committee re-
ported 8 bill: they want the tobacco tax cut
OF and did not care how it came about.
Mr., Compton, Of Maryland, said that it
was evident that the republicans wanted the
house to adjourn without cutting OF the
tobacco tax. Then they would call q special
session OF congress and pass such bill
within the next sixty days 1t would nos De
wise 20 allow the democratic party TO be
weakened in this way.
MIR. Randall insisted on consideration Of
the bill. He had been read out of the party
twice. but had got back. In answer to
Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, he said he was
endeeyoring to facilitate the consideration
of the bill, to repeal the tobacco tax, and he
would not agree to abide by the decision of
tbs caucus. He added that he had reasons
to believe that the two democratic members
OF the committee on rules would agree to
report back the resolution introduced by
him, and the speaker had done all in his
power to secure consideration Of the matter
during this session.
After further debats the caucus, without
coming to any conclusion adjourned.
