Perhaps we herdic men don't have an

night and drove him to certain hotel. He
was a rich man, think. judging from his
appearance, and before he got into tn cab
he handed me 81 and told me to keep the
change. He asked me to so UP Stair with

got them into the cab there wasn't much
room for anything else. l went back TO the
room, and the first words he said were

door on me, and | was prisoner. | heard
him go ont and shut the door, and then |
began to kick like steer and to call on the
bloke to let me out. Ia about twenty min
utes whoever occupied the next room called
the porter and l was let out. AT fl. st. tney
wanted to arrest me as thief, but finally /
convinced them was all right.
the job was now to get my horse and
cab. Going onto the street l asked differ
ent drivers if they had seen my cab. One
cabman said ne had seen a strange looking
man for cab driver on a box driving into
Bowdoin square. ! got cabmau to drive
me to the square, and, sure enough my
cab was standing in front of the Revere
house. The vallseS were in the Ca, and

Il tried to tell how it was, but he
wouldn't have it. AS he left the barroom
he told me he'd shoot me if I didn't keep
away from him. | got afraid of MIN then,
as he was full, and put the valises in the
Revere house. The last i saw of the men

titled to them and any county or party
who has space in the book can come to
the secretary's Office and copy all the
names they desire. However, a nice
weekly list viii be issued and mailed
each week. Every one who has a man
in the east that is likely to want to hear
of Kansas, send them here. All the nee

PEDRO AND THE RRAznIANs.

! We may well exclaim. "wil wonders
never cease" should the statement that
Dom Pedro, the recently exiled emperor
of Brazil, is to become the president of
the new South American republic receive
| authoritiye confirmation. That the Bra
zilians are looking with much favor upon
their former ruler as a most likely presi-
dent Is certainly true, and has It's foun-
dalton in something more substantial
than mere rumor, and that Dom Pedro
himself is eager to serve in any capacity
the country which but few short
months since banished him most uncere-
mOniOusly from its shores, is equally
true, for he has publicly declared that his
sole desire now is to return and end his
days in Brazil He protests, however,
most vigorously against any action on
the part of his former subjects in his be-
half, which might induce violence. He
is quoted with saying: ''If the people
want me, let them call for me, and indi-
cate their will in a manner which will
admit Of no mistake"
Should Dom Pedro in an official ca
pacity really return at the call of his
people to the land he declares he loves so
well, his situation would indeed be
unique. A Republican governor who
was once monarch, placed in power by
a Democratic people, his whilom serfs,
and now held by the latter strictly ac-
countable for his conduct in Office, is
most decidedly a novelty in history.
Here is an idea rich in suggestion for the
pen Of some present or future satirical
writer. The question now is, viii the
Brazilians ask Dom Pedro to become
the president of their young republic?
1t were better, perhaps not, since his
very presence in the country would give
rise to much bitterness Of feeling which
might lead to disturbances among a GER
tain portion of the people who notwith-
standing their esteem for the late en-
peror as a man still entertain for him an
ineradicable hatred as aruler or governor
of whatever degree.

The attorney general of the state of
Virginia has taken an appeal from the
decision of Judge Hughes of the United
States court at Richmond wherein he
declared the state beef-on-hoof inspection
law unconstitutional and void The
attorney viii ask the supreme court to
advance the case on the docket in order
that there may be an early hearing of
the case. There have been several SINH
lar decisions by state and federal courts
but this is the first time an appeal has
been taken to the court of last resort.
There are several states with similar laws
on their statute books awaiting a final
determination of the constitutional power
of a state in this matter, and it is to be
hoped that the supreme court viii adj
vance the Virginia case in order that the
states may know whether TO try TO enforce
orrepeal their dressed meat laws.
