DISCOVERED THE SPRING.
r. x. Putnam Finds the Source Of the
Water in the City Hall Basement.

r. K. Putnam, engineer in the city
hall, made an important discovery Fri
day, which has stopped the flow of the
supposed spring in the basement.
Since the city hall was first completed
water has constantly appeared oozing
through the east wall of the fuel rooE,
and doing considerable damage. A
trench was built to carry the water to
q sewer, but the fuel room and engine
room has always been damp.
Friday Mr.. Putnam was sent to q
woman's toilet room ON the third floor,
to make some repairs. During his
search he found q short brass pipe ex-
tending down into the hollow wall of
the building about three feet. The
surplus water was discharged into this
pipe every time the closet tap was
opened, and poured . flood Of water
into the hollow of the walls. The pipe
was stopped, and now the city hall
basement Is dry for the first time since
the building was finished.

From the latest available returns it
appears that Ellis is elected to be at
:orney-eeneral. 1t Is charged that q
secret circular was sent to all demo-
cratic election boards instructing them
that in all cases where Diekema's name
had been scratched from the ticket,
leaving Ellis name IN both democrat
and peoples columns, he, Ellis, should
be credited with two votes. This story
is improbable on its face, but in view
of the notorious theft Of the senate by
the democrats last winter. there is
reason to fear that 1t may be true.
Ellis is An interruptions politician, but
if he has permitted such circular to
be issued, he will be entitled to rank as
the most despicable wirerulier that
ever ran for office. For the sake of
decency it Is to be hoped that this ru-
NOR Is not true.

Mrs. Lease wants to be . United

woman makes mp her mind she wants
anything she generally has 1t. Stranger
things have happened than that
woman should occupy seat IN the
American assembly of peers. and it Is
among the political possibilities that
the heroine of the Georgia egg race
will be enrolled among the exalted ex-
ponents OF senatorial cold tea. There
is nothing IN the constitution that can
prevent Mrs. Leases being seated if
elected. She is the recognized leader
OF the populists in the Jayhawker state.
If she were man there would be no
doubt of the prizes being hers.
She might prove q valuable ad-
dition TO the senate. 1t is

would wiring his antiquated neck.

house, what representation will Kan
sas have. Hail to the immortal trio.
Hail to the sockless Jerry! Hail to

Hail to the populistic Joan OF Arc!
Hail to BLEEDING Kansas!"
