IN a recent speech to lot of recruit
Kaiser Wilhelm said:

Kaiser Wilhelm said
Recruits, you have. before priest and altar sworn
fealty to me. You aTe too young To understand the
true meaning Of the words in which you have
sworn; but be dgent in following the instruc-
tons which will be given you. You have. my
children, sworn allegiance. That means that you
have given yourselves to me, body and soul. You
have only one enemy. That Is my enemy In the
present sOeialistc agitation may order you, which
God forbid, to shoot down your relatives.-your
brothers, even your parents,-and you must obey
without murmuT.

The Message.

Governor Ross message con tain
ing little less than %. 600 words was
given to the country yesterday. Had
it been an inaugural for eshadowipg
the future administrative policy of
the stale more attention might have
been devoted to its perusal. AS IL Is
u is too wordy and windy to receive
any general perusal at the hands of
the people OF the state. Among its
most important items are these facts.
Every public claim upon the treasu-
nv Is paid and the state has $772 $50
cash. The assessed valuation of the
state is 1882 l2l 1888 yielding at 20
cents tax 81 ,564 243. Receipts for year
ending Sept. /. 1890, were 50 6S5 Ill
dis $l.90S, 207. Comptrol-
Ter gives estimates of receipts for
coming two years, with expeu-
dILures and figures out a
balance I'm. 1892 Of S725, 900.
This legislature has 1872 200 state
bonds to take care Of; the larger part
of these bonds being held by the
special funds of the state. There are
on hand SITS, 900 OF uninvested school
funds, but it would take over SO 000,-
600 per annum in addition to present
STATE revenues to maintain the schools
six months in the year, and local tax
alton Is recommended as the remedy.
The scholastic population of the state
is 1876; apportion-d fund So, 1872, 464.
The several humane and penal insti-
tutiOns of the state.
The road law is touched upon but
there are no practical suggestions or
I'm fact suggestions of any kind as to
what it would be wise for the legisla-
ture to attempt In the way OF road i'm
provement. On the question Of rail-
way commission the message Is very
conservative, endorsing the regula-
ton of railways by commission, but
cautioning the legislature against
any injudicious attempts at control
The statistics of the message are VAL

A Republican Chance.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 16.-Adoption
OF the new rule by alliance members
of the legislature whereby no senate
rial candidate will be considered as
caucus nominees until SO Legislators
or joint ballot majority unite on him
has increased restored confidence
of publican leaders and great
ly improved Ingalls, chances for
re election. It is now believed that
iealousies existing among senatorial
aspirants before the peoples party
will prevent any of them from re-
ceiving majority and dead lock
will epsue which will probably re-
sult in the election of republican
unless caucus rule Is broken.

present administration, myself and
friends have In vain searched for q
just cause of this eulogic. The only
progress We found was the progress
the small pox have made; what?
Why do you laugh sir! Do you mean
to point out to me the street improve
ments, bridges built. aud City Hall
building, as living monuments of the
progressive spirit OF our mayor? Have
YOU ever given thought for one in
stsut whether the expenditures for
these works will stand comparison
with the actual work done? No ex.
pert will strike clear balance sheet,
except the administration expert,
perhaps, who by the way is, hear, a
candidate for auditor. 1 tell you, sir,

BACK TO MEMPHIS.
Gross. the Forger, Accompanies the

His Folly


Sheriff to Face the Music of
His Folly.
Sheriff A. J. McLindOn, of Shelby
county, Tenn, arrived here yesterday
afternoon and returned home this
morning with his prisoner, ]. b Cross.
the Memphis forger whom Deputy
Blair arrested at Beevllle the other
day. Cross himself appeared to be
anxious to return to Memphis to see
his wife and children stand his pun
isbment which will likely prove very
severe.
The history of Cross, who Is yet a
young man, Is the same sad tale that
has been 30 often told concerning
many q young man. 1t seems that
the success which he was obtaining
i'm his business made him careless of
his responsibility for he soon fell to
gambling and vOrious excuses until,
to cover up the losses sustained
through his evil associations. he re.
sorted to forgery, forging the name of
A. w. Farris, q wealthy relative OF
his wife. Finally Cross was detected
in his neiarious work, and he sudden
ly left the community, creating quite
little sensation. 1t was then dis
covered that he had secured during
his reckless living, nearly 5000 by
forgery.
Cross was moved to tears at the
meeting of Sheriff McLindon, with
whom he was well acquainted, and
continually inquired as to his family
and friends, being impatient -Of his
return home as though Memphis
would receive the wayward man with
open arms.
Mr. Blair, the deputy who arrested
Cross, has received the fifty dollars
reward, with more coming to him.

ILfHEN money is scarce you

IIfHEN money is scarce you
w want to get the best value
in exchange for it. Intel
hgent and shrewd buyers know
that when they can deal with a
reliable manufacturer dire c t,
they get better satisfaction as a
rule. Columns of delusive adj
yertisements of "Slaughter
Sales" "Mark Down Sales" and
the like do not always argue
the best interest of the buyer.
None can offer you the solid
facts and guarantee their goods
like the maker.
We are now making up spring
goods in new and pretty styles,
and customers can confidently
rely upon our shoes as the very
best value for their money.

Nobody but Youngsters There.

Those who go to Washington State are
much impressed by the youth of every one.
The people are nearly as new as the State
They have not yet had time to produce old
people, and the result is that affairs are con-
Quoted throughout the State with all the fire
and energy of youthful temperament, stimulat-
ed by novel and inspiring surroundings.
A member of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, who visited Seattle last summer,
said that he was told that he would be receiv-
ed by one of the leading dignitaries of the
place, the president of the Board of Trade
The Washington official said that when he de-
scended from the train he was met by tall
young slip of a fellow, who in Washington
would not be above the grade ola private
secretary, timid clerk or possible lieuten-
ant. This official said in the course of
conversation 81 did not feel at all at home
in Seattle. l was the only gray-haired man
in the place. Youngsters that would have
been classed in the East as children, hardly
fitted to be trusted out alone, were the &C
tive managers and leaders in current business
affairs"

imported Dolls.

Dolls form the largest item of toy importa.
ton. They are largely made in Nuremberg
where doll making forms the home industry
There every one, from the child beginning to
prattle to the gray haired patriarch, assists in
making. dressing or packing the puppets for
the market. To attempt to start factories in
this country to compete with the Germans
would, it is said, be a suicidal financial poll
cy.
The same argument is made in regard to
the fancy musical toys that are attracting SO
much attention. 1t is in the musical and
mechanical toys that the greatest novelties
are to be found. There are some novelties in
the difference of price between the two lines
of goods. Mechanical toys run all the way
from twenty-five cents each to So for the pop.
ular toys, and the musical ones range from 81
to $40. There are others also that call for
larger pocketbooks and will satisfy the most
reckless expenditure of money.

:. One of the last of Napoleon's veterans, and

among the officers of the Grand Armee, has
celebrated his ninety seventh birthday in his
retreat at Herblay, on the banks of the Seine
M. Souff1ot, who is extremely popular in that
part of the country, loves to fight his battles
over again. He took part in the campaigns
of 1919 and the three following years, and
before Napoleon went to Elba he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of captain.
He was stanch imperialist, and after the
downfall of his hero he refused to serve under
any other regime, and was put upon half pay
but he emerged for a short time from his re-
tirement to command squadron of lancers
of the Old Guard at Waterloo. After the final
collapse of the emperor he left the army for
good, at the age of %, and spent the follow
Ing half century of his life in civil employ
ment. He then pitched his TENT" to use his
