The senatorship is the bone Of con
tention in Kansas. The Populists can
not elect their man without the aid of
the Democrats, which the former are
not likely 10 get since Mrs. Lease has
appeared on the scene as the leader of
the Peoples party hosts. She has de-
clared war on the Democrats and de-
clares that none of them will go TO the
senate if she can prevent. But while
Mrs. Lease cordially hates the followers
of Jefferson, her antipathY to Jerry Simp-
son is, if anything, shade more in
tense. Referring to Jerry she says,
There is one man who can never reach
that honor, (the senatorshipl and he is
Jerry Simpson" She declared she would
fight him with all the vigor she had.
She was against him for reelection to
congress and said since the election that
the people Of the seventh district dis
graced themselves by voting for him.
The Kansas senatorial fight promises TO
become very interesting.

How the Sign D Originated.

It has been said to be modified mon
ogram of U. S., and also to be modifi-
cation of the figure 8, dollars being for
merly called ''pieces of eight" Two or
three other theories have been advanced,
all ingenious but all lacking confirma-
tion. The editor Of The Whitehall Re-
view in London some time ago declared
(and his theory is now generally received
as correcD that it comes from the device
on the old Spanish dollar. This device
was representation Of the pillars Of
Hercules with scroll around each pill
lar. 1t is thought that these scrolls
were really intended for picturess OF the
two serpents which the goddess Juno
sent to destroy Hercules when the latter
