A FREE READING ROOM.

The citizens of Baxter Springs will
be glad to know that within the past
two weeks the ladies have, by united
efforts, succeeded In organizing a'cir-
culating library and free reading room
which will be opened In Mrs. Blood's
building south Of the English Kitchen
about the LIST of May.
A few Of the ladies have been plan
ming for this for some time and when
the matter was made known to the
public everyone interviewed was will
ing to lend a helping hand. Col.
Warner, as soon as he learned Of the
enterprise, came forward, as he always
does In any good work for Baxter, and
told the ladies If they would get 40
gentlemen to promise % cents per
month, this money to be used as IL
brary fund, he would put in the cleo
trio light and keep II running for q
year free of charge. We hope the
Baxter boys will thank the Colonel
many times as they sit evening after
evening In this CHEEKY room and have
the privilege of reading by the aid of
q good light.
II. R. Crowell, another hearty sup
porter of this good undertaking, also
stepped into the ranks showing his
willingness to help the ladies on by
promising to paper and paint the room
and put 1t in good shape, which has
been done. -.
The ladies had no difficulty in secur-
ing the 40 gentlemen members. Bax.
ter Is noted for it's good men.
The association starts out with the
good wishes of everyone and we hope
Its good work will be so full that no
one can measure 1t. The books for
merly belonging to the Baxter Circu-
lating Library have been handed over
TO this association to be used again for
the use OF the public, the only differ
ence being the fee will be two cents
per day or ten cents per week instead
Of membership by the year as be-
fore. All books, papers, magazines,
ETC., used in the room will be free for
the readers use while In the room.
The association is to be congratulate
ed in having at lite start such an able
president az Mrs. A. E. Sands. This
lady has the welfare Of the boys at
heart and will use every effort to make
the reading room a success, q place
where all the boys and girls may feel
at home and where many pleasant
hours may be spent. Let US all look
to 1t that we give our hearty support
to this long needed want and let US
plan for still greater things in the fu-
ture.
Parents should encourage their chill
dren to patrOnize this institution. The
hours spent there will be profitable to
them, as everything will be done to
make the room attractive.

Terrible Experience of . Chicago Woman
With IN Escaped LunatIc.
CHcA GO, March s.-Last evening Mrs.
" ork, sat by the kitchen fire to await
the coming of her husband, when the
front door opened. Supposing it to be
her husband, she got up to greet him,
but before she reached the hall door it
was thrown violently open and a strange
man with ferocious glare in his eyes
confronted her.
For moment the two stood facing
each other, the woman almost paralyzed
from fear and the mailman gloating over
his intended victim with glitteIing eyes.
Then the maniac drew revolver and
leveling it at the woman's head, fired.
With superhuman effort she sprang
to one side, and then, with a bound like
a tiger, clutched him by the throat
1t was fight for life, and even the
mailman with his awful strength, could
not loosen the woman's grip. In vain
did he strike her with his revolver. He
tried to bring the muzzle in line with
her head that he might blow her brains
out, but she Rugged him so closely that
he could not, and the weapon was again
discharged into the wall.
The woman clinched her hands the
tighter, and the mans eyes began to.
start from their sockets, while his face
changed from red to livid purple and
his tongue rolled out as he gasped for
breath. The veins of his forehead
swelled almost to bursting, but she held
on, knowing that her life depended on
her grip.
Back and forth across the room they
struggled. Chairs were overturned and
the table, set for supper, was upset.
The mailman had ceased to strike her
and all his efforts were to break her
grasp on his throat He began to weak
en-. At last the blood spurted from his
nOstrils and the sight of this was more,
than the poor woman could stand. She
relaxed her hold and fled from the house
to the nearest neighbor's and the police
were called.
AS soon as he was freed from Mrs
Peterson's grasp, the mailman skunk to-
the attic Of the house. In short time
officers arrived and the maniac was
found in the attic. He had lost his pis-
toll in his struggle with Mrs. Peterson,
but after another contest he was finally
OverpOwered.
Nothing could be learned from the,
man, however, further than that his,
name was Albert Jensen and that he
had escaped from a Michigan insane
asylum. After closely examining him
he was taken to the detention hospital.

The Missouri State Treasurer Suddenly Ten
ders His Resignation Pending the Investi-
CATION of His Books.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March Sat
four o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr.. E..
T. holland entered the Treasury Depart
ment. Governor Francis was in the
private Office, and walking up to him,
Mr.. holland handed him an envelope.
Here is my resignation, Governor, he
said, and turning, walked out.
To His Excellency, Davi4 X. Francis, Gov
ernOr of Missouri:
JEFFERSON CITY, No., March Z, 1s9O.-Sr:
herewith hand you my resignation as State
Treasurer of the State Of Missouri. Very re-
spectfully, +. T. holland.
What led Mr.. holland to tender his
resignation can only be surmised as he
declines most positively to talk. He
would only say last night that he was
preparing statement to give the press.
What the nature of this statement will
be can not be foreshadowed at present
Mr.. holland was engaged last night
upon the statement he will make public
to-day. He counseled with friends and
there is an undercurrent of anxiety
about the capital as to what disclosures
may be forthcoming.
Governor Francis has not accepted tho
resignation of Mr.. holland yet He will
move very cautiously in order to avoid
complication.
The Attorney-General is looking up,
all the points bearing upon the case in
order to decide what disposition should.
be made of the resignation. Some hold
that it is a constitutional right of a
State officer to resign at any time and
under any circumstances, while on the
other hand. others contend that while
under suspicion Mr.. hollands resigna--
ton can not be accepted. 1t is believe
that the action will only serve to COM
plicate matters and involve intricate
legal questions.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
What the Senate and House Have In Hand
and What In Expected

What the Senate and House Have In Hand
and What 10 Expected.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The uncer-
tainty surrounding the disposition Of
the questions raised by the recent re-
consideration of executive session mat
ters makes it impossible to forecast with
any degree of accuracy the work Of the
Senate for this week.
Senator Dolph's committee will to-day
resume the Interrogation under oath of
members of the Senate respecting their
connection with leaks in the past, and
the report of the discoveries may pre-
cipitate another discussion similar to
that of last week. So much Of the time
of the Senate was taken up with the dis.
cussiOn that the Blair Educational bill
was not disposed of, and it still heads
the calendar IS unfinished business A
very general feeling exists in favor OF
closing this debate this week and to take
a vote on the bill if possible. Mr.. Evarts
will close the debate in support of the
measure.
The report of the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections on the Montana
case is likely to be made this week, but
the debate that must ensue will not
begin until the Blair bill is out of the
way.
The Urgent Deficiency Appropriation
bill will be reported from the Committee
on Appropriations this week.
Senator Stanford will offer q resolu-
ton to-day instructlng the Finance Com
mittee to investigate and report upon
the expediency and desirability of the
Government lOaning money upon real
estate mortgages at nominal rate of
interest, one or two per cent per annum,
retaining the right to call in q certain
proportion of the loans when occasion
demands.
In the morning hours the Oklahoma
Townsite bill may be considered and
further progress made in the execution
of the order to dispose of public build
ing and bridge bills on the calendar
The work of the House this week will
probably be devoted principally to add
ing new stars to the National flag. The
District of Columbia Committee will oc-
cupy to-day in the disposition of meas
ures relating to local affairs, and after
that the Oklahoma bill will be taken
up and passed upon finally, as fer
as the House is concerned. Then,
according to notice already given.
the Territories Committee will present
for the consideration of the House the
bill to admit Wyoming as State of the
Union, and this will be followed by the
Idaho bill if any time remains.
The Committee on Elections desires
to call up the contested election case of
Mudd VS.. Compton, from Maryland, but
will only do so, according to present
management if it can be done without
interfering with the Statehood bills al
ready mentioned.

Identified Beyond Doubt as shannon Rob
isOn, of HomewoOd, Kan.
MERIDEN, Kan, March s.-Great ex-
element has prevailed in this little city
ever since the killing last Sunday morn
ing of the Valley Falls bank robber.
The authorities have been keeping his
body from day to day, hoping that some
one would come and identify the body
and give it burial. 1t has been almost
daily occurrence for some one to ar
rive who thought they could identify it,
but up to yesterday no one had been
able to do so.
Yesterday afternoon A. r. Shaw, Isaac
Shaw and II. w. Lemon arrived from
Homewood, small town near Ottawa,
Kan, and each identified the outlaw be-
yond question, his name being Shannon.
Robson and his home at HOmewOod,
Kan, where he leaves an eighteen-year-
old wife and one child.
Robson some two years ago married
a Miss Shaw, then sixteen years of age,
and engaged in the mercantile business
and was also the village postmaster. 1t
is said he had always been considered
honest and honorable and was, up to
the time of his bank robbery, considered;
constant church member, belonging to-
the Baptist denomination.
