To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Having attended the Paris, Vienna
and Philadelphia expOSitions, / am anx-
ious that Kansas should make credit
able exhibit at Chicago. For the CEN
tennlal exhibit caused thousands OF
others besides myself to come to Kansas,
and the worlds fair will bring many
thousands hereafter. But unless We
"look leetle out" we may have no ex-
hibltion there.

Messrs. Mohler and Smith have can
vassed the state for II, and MI. Smith

All exhibits are to be sent to us, stored by

At the close Of the fair all samples entered
for the above premiums will be turned over
to the board Of managers Of the Kansas Ex-

by them taken to the worlds fair in 1893.
All duplicate samples to become the property
Of the board of managers Of the said Kansas
exhibit, to be used in collective display Of
Kansas products in the Kansas building at
said exposition.
II is we'll known that the two parties
quarreled over the worlds fair bill in the
last legislature and it was not passed.
The next legislature will surely pass q
bill, make an appropriation and appoint
commissioners.
Now, won't the present managers Of
the Kansas exhibit have it in their power
to demand that they be made the COM
missloners; be paid big sum for the
exhibits, or no erhGbit made9 They will
own the samples.
It Is we'll known the bitterness Of the
Republicans against the Alliance, and
should the Peoples party get the legiS-
lature, are they not apt to "gst tied upH"
The farmers Calamity howlers) must
furnish most OF the grain, and the man

should file with the governor a contract,

their contract, and let the farmers know.

Mr.. Caylor Explainsa Matter or Two Abo ut
Changing Rules.
o. T. Caylor, who knows more about prac-
tical baseball than all the little clique who
are trying to ruin the game by getting 1t
back toward the game of FOUNDERS, says:
81 want to point out one reason why the
diamond should not be enlarged if the game
is meant to be enlivened. By placing the
pitcher back as intended it will give him
more of facing position toward first and
third base, and make it all the harder for a
base runner TO get away. With the angle
made more obtuse he will be able to deceive
the base runner still more as to his inten-
tions to either pitch the ball or throw TO tn e
base. Now. il three feet be added TO the
distance which the base runner will have 70
go the handicap will be still greater, ana
base running will be practically killed.
"The great evil in baseball during the
last few years has been an insane desire to
experiment. A lot of socialiStic agltators

UNCLE SANS TROOPS TO THE RESCUE

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Dec. IA dis
patch from Carrizzo says that two COM
panies of United States cavalry have az
rived there from Fort Mcintosh in search
of the Mexican bandits who committed the
bloody onslaught on Mexican troops at San
Ignacio last Saturday. There is also large
force of United States deputy marshals In
the field, searching for the marauders.- The
revolutionists are under the command OF
Eusacardo Ramon, known as notorious
OUTLAW on the Lower Rio Grande. In an
attempt to arrest him for the murder of an
other Mexican at Carmego eight years ago,
he killed the Sheriff and three soldiers of
the Sheriff's posse and escaped to the Texas
side of the river.
In the battle at San Igancio Saturday
Captain Seegar and Lieutenant Lopez, with
four Mexican soldiers, sought refuge in a
building from the fury OF the insurgents. The
place was surrounded and Ramon set fire to
the structure, roasting the six men alive.
In addition to this it Is stated ne Killed
four other Mexicans in the tight with his
own hand. Mexican scouts In attendance
at the United States Court in San Antonio
have been summarily ordered to the front
to aid in locating the bandits.
The sentence of death passed by the mill
tary court martial at Monterey and con-

LABOR WINS A VICTORY.

The Office That Prints Worlds Fair Cata-
logues VIII Probably Be Unionized.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE dispute concern
ing the letting of the contract for the print
ing of the official catalogue of exhibits to
Conkey & Co. is in a fair way to be settled.
The Exposition officials have surprised the
representatives of organized labor by meet
ing them more than half way.
The opinion is prevalent that
settlement will be reached by unionizing
the Conkey establishment. Mr.. Conkey
announced tonight that he had no objec..
tions to labor unions, and that he intended
to pay more than union wages to the men
who worked upon the catalogue.
The committee appointed by the labor
union men met the Executive Committee of
the Worlds Fair to-day. The matter was
thoroughly discussed, and the labor COM
mIttee was requested to present its
charges in writing, which it prom
ised to do at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. The Worlds Fair officials have
promised to make the fullest investigation
into the matter, and have promised that if
any official has been mixed up with the let
ting of the contract his resignation will be
demanded, and, if possible, the contract
will be annulled.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA Special THE
Joint special committee of the General As
sembly on taxation and retrenchment met
at the Hotel Metropole this afternoon. Tax
Commissioner Thomas L. Feitner told the
committee that State and local taxes should
be separated. A perolexing question,
he said, was that of the assessments
on estates, because the executors often
lived out of the State and could not be
reached. He also said that the State lost
largely BY not being able to assess such
properties as the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
Reverting to the question of estates, a
member of the committee asked Mr.. Felt
ner what was the personal assessment of
Jay Gould. He replied that for four years
past it had been $500, but for many
wears prior to that it was only
$3.50, 900, and Mr. Gould complained not
little about the increase. MI. Feitner said
that the difficulty in getting at the taxable
property of wealthy men was that they
always pleaded heavy Indebtedness. He
said that on one occasion Cbauncey NJ.
Depew had told him that Commodore Van
derbilt often carried an indebtedness of
$50, 900, 600 and saved from to per cent

LAWING FOR SPECULATION.
An Expensive Statute Which VIII Cause
the Hoosiers Much Trouble.

An Expensive Statute Which VIII Cause
the Hoosiers Much Trouble.
INDIANAPoLIs, Dec. 14-The decision
of the Supreme Court, holding the Black
board law constitutional, will probably give
rise to large amount of litigation over the
settlement of past offenses. The law
provides that half of each fine of S25
assessed shall go to the Prosecuting Attorney.
In Shelby county Senator A. F. Wray. a
speculator, assisted by Attorneys Adams
and Carter, brought suit against the c., c.,
c. & ST. Louis Railroad in "a paragraphs,
each of which constitutes separate offense,
making the aggregate of $4,000. There are
68 paragraphs against the Pennsylvania
Company, amounting to S17, 900.
Senator Wray's fees in these amounts are
$1S,35O. Prosecuting attorneys in many
other counties have been equally industri-
GUS. and, if the law hold, these claims
against the railroads will find the Black
board an exceedingly expensive one.
