Topeka, Kan, April 16.-The bill passed
by the legislature at its last session to pre-
vent aliens from owning lands IN Kansas
is attracting the attention of many OF the
leading loan companies in the United
States. The principal provision OF the
bill is:
That no corporation or association.
more than 20 per centum of the stock OF
which is or may be owned by any person
or persons, corporations or associations not
citizens of the United States, or of some
district or territory thereof, shall hereafter
acquire, hold or own any real estate IN the
state of Kansas"
The last section of the bill, however,
provides that this shall not interfere with
these persons or companies taking land in
payment of debt or contract; providing,
however, this land shall be disposed of to
some citizen Of the United States within
three years of the time of acquiring pos
session. Otherwise the land becomes the
property of the state of Kansas The bill
will not become law until published IN
the statutes, some time in June, and 1t Is
understood that these loan companies are
securing copies of the act, and are making
all necessary arrangements to test the con-
stitutionality of the law, it being averred
that this act conflicts with the ccnstltu-
tion of the state of Kansas, and also that
of the United States. 1t is highly prob
able that as it effects all the large loan
companies in the United States comblna-
tion will be formed for testing the bill,
and some attorney of national reputation
will be given charge of the case.

quiry The leaders are trying to find out
how far Mr. Cleveland's views on silver
will affect the interest Of the party. They
are perfectly willing to put aside all spe-
cial issues for the great issue of tariff re-
FORM and for the sake of party victory.
For example, am silver man, come
from state in which the Democracy is
Mr.. Cleveland will make the strongest
candidate before the country, we will be
for Cleveland.
"Mr. Cleveland is the only man now
who has concentrated national feeling,
but as | have said the party leaders are
earnestly inquiring and will continue to
inquire until the time for the convention
in 1892. We mean to do the best thing
for the Democracy. If Cleveland is the
people 'schoice in 1892 he will be nominated,
and will win at the polls. If, on the other
hand, we find that the Democracy wants
somebody else we will nominate somebady
else"
''In case Cleveland is not the man in
1892 who will be?''
1T is impossible even to make guess
at question like that. Conditions may
arise which will bring out comparatively
new man. For instance, IL Mckinley ana
Campbell oppose each other for governor
of Ohio, and Campbell were to carry the
state by large majority, Campbell would
then be very strong man III the natlonal
convention, or if some Democrat IN New
York were to carry that state in the guber-
natorial campaign by surprising
majority, as Cleveland did when he ran,
why that New York Democrat would be
strong IN a national convention. But 1
say it is impossible under the clrcum-
stances to make predictions SO far ahead.
Now it looks like Cleveland, and that IS
the nearest anybody can come to 1t.

SHOT nv q WOMAN

OKLAHOMA, CITY, Ok. April 16.-Short-
ly after midnight last night Mrs. Ollie b.
Cramer shot and instantly killed Mark l..
Bourn, well known citizen and a deputy
sheriff under the former administration.
The story of the killing as told by Mrs
Cramer is as follows A few minutes past
midnight she was awakened by a strange
and unusual noise. She arose from her
bed and revolver in hand stepped to the
door, which she opened and fired into the
air. hoping thereby to frighten theIntruder
away. Hearing footsteps on the other
side of the house she called out: wv hat
do you want? Getaway from here" at tho
same time discharging the revolver.
Again she started to walk around the
house, and encountering man she fired
at point-blank range, and the man dropped
to the ground.
Late homeward- bound pedestrians, start
led by the shots, hastened to the scene and
discovered Mrs Cramer standing over the
body of the man with the still smoking
revolver in her hand. A haSty iuYestiga-
tion disclosed that the dead man was Mark
Bourn. The bullet pierced his brain and
he must have died instantly. Mrs. Cramer
sent for Sheriff Colcord and surrendered
leased under bond of s., 500, the best citi-
zens of the city going her security. Before
the coroner's inquest, which was held this
morning, T. N. Reynolds stated that he
had parted company with Bonrn, who was
very much under the influence of liquor,
just a few moments before the killing

CHAINEOTOTH ROCK,

Prometheus was chained to the rock
while vultures gnawed his entrails. So
are many people chained to the rock of
prejudice while all manner of violent
medicines inflict injury upon the sensitive
lining of the stomach and intestines.
They are apparently immovable in the
belief that to experience benefit they must
keep dosing with drastic medicines. I'm
less the action of these is powerful and
excessive, they are not satisfied. They
would distrust remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t is not by such pur-
blind extremists as these that the ac-
knowledged merits of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are recognized. That benign
regulator of the stomach, the bowels and
the kidneys appeals to the rational-not
only appeals, but is awarded a just valua-
tion. Constipation, liver complaint,
dyspepsia and kidney troubles yield to its
action. SO also do malaria and rheuma-

BLAINE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

WASHINGTON, April ia prominent
New York politician in discussing the
political situation In his state, among
other things, said:
1T is my opinion that Blaine is more
popular in New York state among the Re
publlcans at the present time than he ever
was. The old stalwart element did not
support him cordially in 1884, but now
that Conkling is dead the stalwart faction
is disorganized and lost completely in the
great body of the party. In the great
cities Blaine is especially strong, and it is
my opinion that, if nominated, he could
carry New York state. Mckinley would
run well, but | doubt much if he could
carry the state of New York. The i'm
porters in New York and Brooklyn are
very bitter in their opposition to him and
they will put up money freely to en-
compass his defeat.
''There is revolt against high protec-
tion both in the city of New York and
among the farmers in the rural COM
popular and his handling of the state de-
partment during the present administra-
tion has convinced thinking men that he
is safe, conservative man who would not
be inclined to rush the country into war
or embarrass the government with any
entangling alliances. This is one of the
strongest cards that was played against
Blaine in 1884. During a short term as
secretary of state in the Garfield admins
tration he was somewhat rash In his deal
ings with South American countries and
many conservative men thought in 1854
that it would be very risky to make him
president He has convinced the people
now, however that be is not inclined to be
rash. that he can be both dignified and
spirited, as his handling of our diplomatic
affairs with Italy has proved. His efforts
to open up the South American countries,
too, have been very pleasing to New York
merchants and manufacturers, and, on
the whole, it is my opinion that Blaine is
now stronger in New York than at any
time during his public career.
1T is but Just, however, to say that, in
my opinion, Cleveland is stronger in New
York at the present time than he was
either in 1884 or 1888 His silver letter
demonstrated to the business people that
he was a man of courage and convictions.
OF course Hill has control OF the party
machinery now, but Hill will be out of the
governorship and here in Washington at
tending to his senatorial duties for more
than six months before the delegates to
the national convention will be chosen.
Besides, believe Hill is convinced that
the southern and western Democracy will
not support him, and that he will conclude
it will be better for him to support Cleve-
land next year cordially and candidly,
with the hope that his own turn may come
in 1896"

ANOTHER MILLING COMBINE.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, April 16.-The
Northwestern Miller this week says: For
some time the natural trend of milling
interests, following that shown in other
branches of trade, has been towards
consolidation or condensation. In the
formation and capitalization of the Pills
buryWashburn company the world saw
the first step in another milling srevolu-
tion-this time revolution not mechani-
cal one. Following this movement began
another, its object being to merge several
of the smaller mills Of Minneapolis into
one large company.
SIT is now very probable that before the
first of May the Northwestern Consoli-
dated Milling company will be actually
incorporated. This corporation will prob
ably have capacity of 10000 barrels per
day; it will be next to the Pillsbury-Wash-
burn plant, the largest milling concern in
the world; the Wasburn-Crosby company
ranking third, with $500 barrels capacity.
IL will possibly comprise the plants at
present known as the Galaxy, Columbia.
Northwestern, Zenith, Crown Roller, and
Petit Mills and in that event will take
the place of the following concerns: Gal
axy Mills, Columbia Milling Co., Side,
Fletcher, Holmes, Christian Bros, Petit
and Christian and Company Mills. These
mills, with the exception Of the last
named, are practically new ones-that is,
they have either recently been overhauled,
or are under contract to be remodeled."
