KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Report of the Metropolitan Police System
The State House-The Worlds Fair
Etc.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1O.-The house
committee appointed to investigate the
expenditures of money in connection
with the building of the state house
submitted part of their report yester-
day afternoon. DR.. Neely says they
purposely withheld a portion of their
report, as it was even worse than what
was submitted The report begins with
a complaint against the board of state
house commissioners and ends with a
mOurnful tale about being chased by
reporters. They assure the house that
neither the commissioners nor the re-
porters could frighten them; they
went right ahead and did their duty.
The law provides that the state
house commissioners must make a full
report to the executive council every
three months, but the board did not
learn that they had reported since 1882.
This, they think, means something bad.
1t was originally estimated that Ss42, 577
would be sufficient to complete the
committee regard as a useless and
wasteful, if not corrupt, expenditure of
money, the amount will need be in
creased from SIS, 900 to 500, 900. The
committee asks the house for an extern
sion of time and an appropriation Of
$4,000 to pay their expenses.
The board of state house commission
ers entered their protest, declaring that
they had been refused a hearing before
the committee and that the report was
made at this late day for the express
purpose Of besmirching the character of
the board. There will be fun in the
house when the report comes up.
The Worlds Columbian exposition
appropriation bill has passed both
houses and after few house amend
ments have been ratified by the senate
1t will go to the governor. 1t took q
hard fight TO carry the bill through the
house, but its friends engineered it
through at favorable time or it would
have found its way to an early grave.
The senate put in most of the day
passing house local and personal bills.
The house committee appointed TO in
vestigate the Metropolitan police sys-
tenn in the six first-claSs cities of the
state reported yesterday afternoon.
After giving long review of testimony
taken before them they say:
Your committee has heard no testimony
that induced them TO believe that the pro-
Eibitory law had been enforced I'm any city

made to enforce prohibition IN the cities the
more uureSponsible and debased are the
mon who are engaged in the traffic, the more
deceptive their devices and secluded their
places of business. The authorities of Tope-
ka have made more systematic effort to
enforce prohibitory laws than any other
city of its class, as has been already
shown. They are expending $1,000 per
annum of the taxpayers money in
excess OF all the revenue of the police de-
partment OF the city and yet the Joints,
drunkenness and or me have not been ban
ished. In the other five cities the system
has been merely self -susta ming, but IL is
Gle rly made so through fines enforced
which are given the semi recogn tion of
license, and VIII. the temptation to bribe
the police is increased tne llrgitmute
Joint remains through that influence.
Your committee therefore recommends
that the governor be memorialiZed to exer-
else the discretion which is placed in kim by
the statutes to withdraw the application of
the metropolitan police law from the cities
of Kansas and leave these cities to the en-
forcemcnt of their own regulation.
In the Coffeyville investigation L. j.
Webb testified that he had been called
into Gov. Humphreys private office
a few days before the appointment of
Henrie to position on the labor bureau
and that he had been asked TO make out
certain affidavits for Henrie, to sign
which he refused to do. He told the
governor that he did not think man
of Henrie's character ought to be ap-
pointed. The governor replied that
"He had to do it
This is in direct contradiction to the
governors testimony and is the first
important evidence that has been intro
duced during the course of the lnvesti-
CATION.
The governor has signed the bill
creating a circuit court for Shawnee
county and has appointed Capt. j, B.
johnson, one of the most prominent
members of the Topeka bar, to that po-
sition. His appointment gives general
satisfaction among local attorneys and
prominent citizens here.

BRADY WILL BE A CANDIDATE.
Municipal Politics Taking on the
Usual March Livliness.

The situation in the city election
contest grows more interesting daily.
AS will be seen by today's REFLECTOR,
J. H. Brady is out as a candidate for
mayor and will proceed to wipe up the
exceedingly muddy streets with the
present incumbent on April 7th.
There is no need of introducing Mr..
Brady to our readers. For nearly a
score of years he has been connected
with Abilene and Dickinson county
and his name has always been synony-
nous with wide awake go-ahead-ative-
ness. He has almost the unanimous
support of the business men of the city
who have become disgusted with the
incompetency of the present mayor.
Mr.. Brady is immeasurably the best
candidate yet before the people.
The councilmen and school board
members seem to be slow in showing
themselves in the arena. No an
nouncements have yet been made. 1t
is understood that several who already
hold positions are willing to be re-
elected and probably will be.
For police judge W. W. Wilson and
H. L. Humphrey are in the field and
are ready for lively hustle for victory.
J. P. Quinn needed nothing more
than a mere announcement of his
candidacy to almost insure his re-elec-
tion as justice of the peace. He will
have walk-away unless some stronger
man than has yet been mentioned
comes out.
John Powell, r. A. Brown and VIM.
Appleman are candidates for constable.
All are frst-class timber and capable
men for the office.
The election occurs one month from
today, Registration books close March
9th.

Handled BY Law.

The North Abilene Disturbance
Handled by Law.
The fratricidal warfare between the
Swanson brothers in northeast Abilene
a week or more ago came up in police
court today for adjudication by his
honor, S. s. Smith. There was no
difficulty in proving that Harvey
pounded his brothers Uranium rather
more severely than circumstances
seemed to demand. Still Harvey
claimed that he had great provocation
In that his brother John used some
extraordinary language in regard TO
his (Harvey's) wife, language unbecom-
ing a gentleman and a scholar. In
view of this fact and the further fact
that John was not so badly injured but
that he could be down town a day or
two after the fracus, the court fixed the
penalty low and made it IS and costs
for assault. This was produced and
the accused returned to his photograph
gallery to take pictures.
John Swanson who was tried in JUS
tice Smiths court yesterday for dis
turbing the peace was bound over until
he next term of district court to keep
the peace with bond fixed at $500.
Not being able to arrange the bond he
went to Jail.

rible Cloudburst.
A TORNADO CAUSES DESTRUCTION.
Many Lives LOst-Houscs and Bridges
Washed Away-The TOmbigbee Eight
Miles WIde-ImpOssible to Estimate
the Damage.

MERIDIAN, Miss. March 1O.-The
cloudburst of Saturday night did i'm
mense damage to all railroads entering
this city, and no trains have come in or
gone out, except one on the Alabama
& Great Southern road. The North
eastern railroad is washed out between
this city and Enterprise and it is report
ed that the iron bridge is foot out Of
line. The Alabama s. Vicksburg is
washed out in dozens of places
and the Mobile & Ohio is
badly damaged between Meridian and
Enterprise and at other points Two
trains on the Illinois Central, which
came south from jackson, Tenn, over
the Mobile &c Ohio, are standing on the
track here, that road being broken
north of Jackson, Miss. The Green
wood Opera Co., is tied up at Hatten-
burg. The city suffered heavily from
bridges washed away.
At Enterprise the Mobile & Ohio and
New Orleans & Northeastern railroads
are submerged for long distances and
passage either way is impossible. The
town Of Enterprise is inundated to a
large extent, the water flowing through
the streets with the velocity of a river
and in many instances coming into the
stores. The flood has no parallel save
in the memorable year of 1871 It will
perhaps be two days before traffic will
be resumed.
A cyclone passed over Pickens Satur-
day evening without doing any damage.
1t dropped over in Madison county,
where it caused great destruction Of
life and property. Passing from there
into Attala county, near Newport,
houses were blown down and four ne
groes killed.
At Aberdeen the Tombigbee river is
now eight miles wide and rising half an
inch an hour. All farmers who reside
on the low lands have been driven from
their homes and have taken refuge in

Memphis IL birmingham railroad Is un-

Reports received at Okalona show
that great damage has been done
throughout the country by the floods
of Saturday and Sunday. Many bridges
and turnpikes have been wash ed away
and at this time it is impossible to esti-
mate the damage. The Illinois Central
railroad is sending its fast trains over
the Vicksburg & Meridian and Mobile
& Ohio railroads via jackson, Tenn, in
consequence of washout above jack
son, Miss.
At Lexington, Miss, the storm was
the most destructive ever known in that
community. The town is almost en-
tirely cut off from all communication
with the outside world. The Illinois
Central bridge, one mile east of that
town, is entirely destroyed so that
trains cannot cross and the loss is in
calculable. The track is washed up in
many places.
Saturday evening Minnie Broy, a
young colored school teacher, living
near Okalona, while standing on her
gallery witnessing the storm, was struck
by lightning and instantly killed.
Bridges, both wooden and iron, about
Okalona, were washed away like log
houses and the roads washed in gulleys
in many places, rendering them impass-
able. Farming operations have been
entirely suspended and the land that
had formerly been plowed is badly
washed, delaying planting two or three
weeks. Fences along the creeks are
entirely gone. Farmers are greatly dis
couraged at the outlook.
A terrific storm passed within three
miles of Brandon, Miss, carrying de-
struetion in its path. Every house on
S. R. Donald's place was blown away
and he and his wife severely injured.
The splendid residence Of the late Da-
vid L. Wilson, near Brandon, together
with every building, including cotton
gin, barn and tenant houses, was blown
away, leaving only the floors and found
ations. Mrs. Wilson and her invalid
son were carried, with the bed upon
which they were sleeping, out into the
front yard and completely covered by
timbers and debris. They were severely
bruised and had to remain out in the
pouring rain all night

Special TO THE REFLECTOR
WASHINGTON, Kas., March 6.-The
Woman's Home Missionary society held
an interesting meeting yesterday after
noon. Addresses were made by the
president, Mrs. E. r. Brown, and sec
retary, Mrs. R. E. Mcbride. The
educational meeting last evening was
a good one and was addressed by
Bishop Merrill and DR.. LippincOtt, ex-
chancellor of the State University. j..
w. Walker spoke in the interest of
Baker university. During the past
year $4,000 has been raised for its en-
dowment fund. The question of wo-
men being members of the general COLI
ference attracts considerable attention.
The conference will vote on the sub
ject and probably the record will be
made today.
A large class of ministers was ad-
mitted to full membership this morn
ing.
Messrs. J. G. Armitage, A. E. Bishop
and E. E. Hollar arrived at noon today
and will stay till Monday. No ap-
pointments have yet been made and
we presume that no one will know
definitely who will be at Abilene before
next Monday.
