Whereas, The shrlnkage in values up
on both real and personal property in the
State Of Kansas, in the past two years,
has caused very great financial embarras-
ment among the farmers Of our State,
and in many instances the farmers have
become unable to prevent proceedings
in foreclosure, which Is increasing to an
alarming extent. We the undersigned
electors of.."...,... County, Kansas,
therefore respectfully petition your Ex-
cellenCy to call special session of the
Legislature OF Kansas for the purpose OF
providing for the relief of our farmers by
the passage ola law giving the mortgagor
Of homestead at least two years In
which to occupy, enjoy and redeem, II
possible, after sale Of morgaged premises
and to provide also for Stay Of Execu-
tion on all judgments on promissory notes
and mortgage bonds for reasonable time
after judgment without bond

THE ARCHER INQUIRY,
Controller Baughman Tells How the
Ex-Treasurer Deceived Him.

At yesterdays Legislative inquiry into the
affairs of ex-State Treasurer Archer Control
Ter Baughman testified that in February last
President Thomas of the Merchants National
Bank of Baltimore informed him he suspected
that Archer's accounts were not all right The
witness saw Archer and asked him about his
private notes and securities. Archer replied:
My dear boy, haven't private note in the
city OF Baltimore and have no collateral secu-
rity pledged in the state of Maryland. If you
have any doubts take my keys and examine for
yourself"
This reply disarmed Col. Baughman. but
later Mr.. Thomas told him he had absolute
proof that Archer had used bonds belonging
to the state sinking fund as collateral. Baugh-
man then informed Gov. Jackson. who sent a
note to Archer to come to Beair, which Archer
did not obey.
5. A. Williams a nephew of Archer, told the
investigating Legislative committee that his
uncle was about 10000 in debt when he was
elected treasurer. 1t is inferred from this
statement that Archer used the larger portion
of the funds he stole from the state to paw off
his heavy personal Indebtedness
ARCHER RECOVERING his HEALTH.
Mr.. Archer is very much improved in health.
He is now able to go from his chamber to any
part OF the house. He converses freely with
his friends when they call, but is not yet al
lowed to see outsiders. The members of the
bar have been busy examining the records in
cases where Mr.. Archer was appointed trustee.
They find his legal affairs in loose and most
unsatisfactory condition. 1t will be MANY
weeks before they will be able to find out much
| about his financial condition in the county.
Most every day somebody comes to town and
consults lawyer IN regard to some claim or
some money he has placed in Mr.. Archer's
hands Tor collection or Tor investment.
TREASURER BROWN.
Mr.. Edwin II. Brown, the new state treasurer.
will be sworn in at Annapolis today. Mr..
Brown said yesterday if his bond was approved
| he might enter upon his duties immediately.
say positively about it.

Maryland Land Records MutiIated.

stir was created among members of the
bar at Belair, Md, yesterday by the discovery
that two leaves have been neatly cut out of one
of the land records in the court house. The
four missing pages contained the record of
deed from Joseph VI. Simmons, W. II. Harri-
son Hooper and portions Of two other deeds
The leaves were cut out neatly with a sharp
knife, and to prevent detection the reference to
the deed was entirely erased from the index in
one place, but being doubly indexed the
e-asure was not made in the second place The
mutilation must have been done at night, or at
some time when the clerks were not in the Of
flee. The discovery was made by Mr.. L. NJ.
Allen while searching for the identical deed
The punishment for mutilating a court record
is confinement in the penitentiary from three
TO seven years. The crime was futile, for the
reason that extracts of all deeds on record to
date are deposited in the land Office at An
napolis

Tommy Russell Dismissed.

New Haven dispatch says Little Tommy
Russell, who has been alternating with Elsie
Leslie Lyde, Ray Marshall and other children
in Little Lord Fauntleroy," received notice
Monday of his dismissal from service at Proc
tors Opera House by Manager French. 1t is
said that it was not because of his incompe-
tency, for the troupe all liked him, but the
manager considered that he could not any
longer put up with the demands of .Tommy's'
stepfather, who thought that he earned more
than the Sl0O a week which he was receiving.
Therefore, because there was too much family
influence to overcome, Manager French was
forced to dispense with Master Tommy's serv-
ices"

ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dist,nctfue and e7ariaJs
position in modern journalism, the fullness Of
its home circulation, the extent TO which
it is relied upon by members of the
household, and particularly by the pur.
chasing portion OF the community, are
the marked characteristics OF the paper,
to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish a parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is a well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction Of the sagacious and enter
prising business men of Washington, who seek
and know where 10 find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the
growth of The STaRs advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate tire
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face Of adj
verse claims and pretentious competition The
figures following tell the story on this point:

81 The local circulation Of The EVENING
STAR is not only the largest and fullest but it is
also the BEST, since the paper goes not alone
into the hands Of the people of the District Of
Columbia as body, but regularly into their
hoHes,-into the families of all classes, and
into those of the mOrey-spending as well as
the incorporating portion of the community.
An advertisement in its columns therefore
