THE LEGISLATURE.
MIR. PEARsoS,s LETTER

The liveliest time in the house for a
good while was had when the fees
and salaries bill for county officers
was up. Nearly everybody land the
Alliance seemed to be just as anxious
10 have their counties exempt from
the operation of the bill as did the
Republicans or Democratsl as it
touched the counties having a popu-
lation affecting them jumped up and
wanted their counties to be exempted
from the operation of the provision of
it, showing that 1t is one thing to adj
vocate reduction of salaries before
election and another to put it in prac-
tice. The protests that have come up
from the different counties against
any very materialreduction of salaries
has been almost unanimous. The
counties of Shawnee, Wyandotte,
Wichita and Leavenworth made q
fight TO be left out entirely and car
ried their point. They maintained
that the bill would reduce the amount
allowed by it below what was reason
able for the work performed. Of
course nearly every other county
wanted the same but none got it ex-
cept counties below 5000. The men
agerie went on for about two hours
when a section was adopted allowing
the commissioners in their discretion
to add 20 per cent to the amounts al
lowed by the bill. Then a motion
was carried to ask conference COM
mittee to draft a joint bill. Then
there was a calm.
The r. r. Freight bill came up the
evening of the 18th for consideration.
The first thing done was a motion by
Mr.. Elder 10 limit the consideration of
the bill to two hours which of course
was carried las every motion he has
made yet but one). This motion was
made to shut of any epdeavoP on the
part of the Republicans and Demo
Gratis to modify the bill so as not to

rates from so 10 40 per cent as was

discussion, except Seaton, of Atchi-
son, who made a strong speech
against snch a radical change. Ittook
more than an hour to read the bill, to
say nothing about considering. The
Alliance was bound to put it through
and they did. The Republicans of
fered substitute which gave the
railroad commissioners authority up
on complaint to adjust freight rates
in such a way as should be fair for all.
The Republicans and part Of the Dem
ocrats voted for the substitute. Two
Alliance voted with the Republicans.
In talking with some of the AL
lance members that we ought not to
pass such radical measure the reply
was, "Oh, the Senate will not pass it,"
And this expression we have heard
several times. at the next election
we shall hear these same men say
1--WE passed the bills but the senate
killed them" The people who have
the best interest of Kansas at heart
ought and will some day thank God
that there was a senate in the way of
the wild legislation passed by the
house. A prominent member of the
peoples party said to friend the
other day that "the house had passed
some such id rotten bills this win
ter that they ought to 60 home and be

died Friday night of pneumonia. He

pointed to accompany the body home.
The committee to investigate the
conduct of the blind asylum at Ossa-

Was frequently telling how he finds his

in real life by intercourse with people

can be learned by knowing the actual

4 Plaster-of-Psris Statue That Had
Served as . safe-Deposit Vault.
Pygmalion, the ancient artist. could
not be more overioyed when his statue
became transformed into lovely
woman than the heirs of the late Nine.
Artaud. who recently died in Paris,
when they discovered a considera BILE
fortune carefully hidden away in the
Interior OF a common plaster-of-paris
reproduction of the famous Venus of
Milo. The history Of the sudden find is
curious and entertaining. Nine. Artaud
died without making will. and. as she
had no o tsry, her children and grand
children appealed to financial ad-
wiser of the deceased, who used occa-
sionally to put her money out in stock
exchange speculations- That the old
lady had left a fair share of lucre
was certain, and as not silver nor
. bank note could be found anywhere
In her rooms the heirs came to the
natural conclusion that the financial
agent must have been intrusted by Mime.
Artaud with her money before she made
her exit from the world. The agent
declared in the most positive manner
that he had received nothing for a long
time from Nine. Artaud, who, feeling
her end approaching, gave up bourse
speculation.
This did not satisfy the heirs, who
plumply accused the agent of having
appropriated what did not belong to
him, but as they had no proofs against
him they were unable to begin legal
proceedings. They accordingly set to
work to divide the furniture and general
belongings of the deceased between
them. The dining-room and salon
chairs. tables and trappings were
In empire style and worth from
$1,000 to $1,000, but as it would
be impossible to obtain more than
half their value, the discomfort among
the heirs increased A lottery of the
effects having been organized, an old
statue representing the goddess of love
fell to one Of the daughters OF the de-
ceased. who was about to break it with
vexstion, When one Of her relatives pro-
posed to examine it to see il by any
chance il were a rare work Of art. The
base Of the statue was covered over un.
dsrneath with oil cloth, and when the
covering was removed out tumbIed o
choice collection Of bank notes, bonds,
securities and obligations, the whole
amounting in value to about SO, 900.

An Appeal to our Citizens.

Next Saturday will offer to our
citizens, particularly the business men
of Annapolis, the most important OPP
portunity that has ever occurred to
advance the prosperity of the city
and to start boom that will be a
permanent factor in its progress and
development. George L. Melvin.
agent, will have large sale of lots
on that day at West Annapolis,
A free excursion train has been char
tered to run from Baltimore, where
the project has been extensively adj
vertised as well as in Washington.
Another free excursion will leave
the Short Line depot in Annapolis
at 2.20 p. M. and on arrival of the
excursionists the sale will take place.
w. 0. Bechenbaugh, WHO'S one of the
most accomplished auctioneers in the
United States, and who has operated
largely in Western Maryland at
Hagerstown and other cities, has
been employed by Mr.. Melvin to cry
the sale. The Southern Real Estate
Review, which Mr.. Bechenbaugh
publishes, has given the enterprise a
wide advertisement and notoriety.
Business men at Hagerstown and
Frederick City have already profted
by similar opportunities to give their
respective cities a forward impetus
that has been phenomenal. Yet
neither of those cities possess impor-
tant advantages of contiguity to Bal
timore and river locations of remarka-
BILE attractiveness which are found at
