Kansas POpuiists Begin Proceedings to
Cain Control of the Legislature.
Topeka, Kan. Dec. 22.-Proceedings
will be instituted before the supreme
court by the Populist central committee
enjoining ten Republicans who have
been given certificates of election from
taking their seats in the lower house of
the Legislature. Attorneys who were
given charge of the contested cases have
decided to make two attempts at secur-
ing the house, one before the supreme
court and the second before the legisla-
tive body itself. After the cases are in
court mandamus proceedings will be in
stituted demanding that the state board
of canvassers be compelled to annul
certificates already issued to the Repub-
llcans whose seats are contested. If
this scheme is successful it Will give the
Populists enough votes to organize the
lower house. Attorneys here say
that the supreme court has no jurisdic-
tion over Legislative bodies and that all
contests must be decided by these
bodies for themselves. AT a meeting of
the Populst editors of the state reso-
luton delaring that only straight
Populist be elected senator was voted
down. 1t was claimed that John G.
Breidenthal, chairman of the Populist
central committee, who caused the suits
to be instituted, is at work organizing
the Populist Legislators to take stand
for the election of one of their own
number instead of fusion Democrat.
A boom has been started for Breiden-
thai for senator AMI he admits that he
would accept the place.

Mrs. Hinckley's two children, girl

Passed This Session.
1t Will Probably Provide for Total
Suspension for at Least a
Year.
The New Cases of Cholera at Hamburg
Likely to Have Some Influence
In the Matter.

New YoRK, Dec pa special from
Washington to The Herald says: An
immigration law will be enacted this
session. 1t will probably be Senator
Chandler's bill, providing for a total
suspension of immigration for one year.
A joint meeting of the house and SEN
ate committee ON immigration has been
held, and the various measures now be-
fore the committee were discussed. A
reporter saw Senator Chandler imme-
diately afterward.

tee overwhelminglyin favor of the bill"
said the senator. "Whether the bill will
be reported as the final result of the
committees deliberations | cannot saw.
Perhaps something else will be agreed
upon. There is, however, no doubt that
something will be done. / want to be
put upon record as strongly endorsing
The Herald's position on the 'ten-dollar
immigrant question. That paper never
advocated proposition that had such
popularity with the masses and thinking
people as this has.
Inere Is noChlng partisan to this
position. 1t is not on.y judicious and
timely, but necessary at this iuncture.
The ten dollar immigrant is not a de-
sirable addition to our population. He
is not needed; he is not wanted. His
transportation and board for the length
of time required to bring him to this
country, which costs but $40, can do us
no good; neither can the person who
endures fare that costs but II cents per
day be from the classes most welcome
to us.
''The immigration law should be
passed. 1t is the only way whereby
cholera can be kept from this country.
Past experience proves that it is sure 10
come again next summer. That we do
not want it is admitted"
Medical experts agree that the danger
from cholera can be greatly averted by
the passage of law which will provide
for system of quarantine in the Euro
pean ports under the direction of United
States officials; system of surveillance
while the immigrants are on board ship,
and for another period of quarantine
after this port has been reached. The
experts also agreed that total suspen-
sion of immigration will simplify mat
ters very much and be even more effect
i've than the elaborate quarantinig sys-
tenn proposed.

CHEYENNE, wy, Dec. 2s.-Meager
particulars have reached here of the
killing of seven persons in the Big Horn
basin few days ago. The basin is sit
uated near the Yellowstone park and al
most inaccessible. Hvatville, the scene
of the trouble, is ninety miles from Buff
falo, which in turn is thirty miles off
the railroad. According to the story,
Bill Nutcher and Hiram Huff went into
the basin to arrest some cattle thieves.
Nutcher is himself under bonds on the
charge of horse stealing in Fremont
county, while Huff's reputation is rather
poor, and is said to be deputy United
States marshal.
1t is said these men came across three
alleged cattle thieves, whom they We're
after, near Hyattville, which has not
more than half dozen houses. The en-
counter was desperate from the very
start and was maintained with Winches-
ters and finally with shooters. Upon
its conclusion not only the cattle thieves
but the officers lay dead on the open
prairie, every body
Completely RiddIed with Bullets.
The names of the cattle thieves have
not been received here. According to
the same story Ira Walker and Asa
Shuck were found at the head of Nor
wood, in the same section, with sixty
head of stolen cattle in their ossession.
Both men We're subsequently found shot
in the back, but by whom is not known,
although it is believed they met their
fate at the hands of some officers of the
law. Both men were rather notorious
characters. Walker is the man who is
credited with having killed Hank Levett
on Shell creek last summer.
just how the affair occurred nobody
knows. The men met in very lonely
part of the basin and Lovett was killed.
Walker claimed that the deed was done
In self-defense, aud as there was moth
ing produced at the trial TO show to the
contrary he was acquitted. The gem
eral impression is, that it was cold
blOoded murder. Sluck and Albert
Slcknard aud another man are credited
with having shot and killed the notori-
ious Jack Bliss. Whether this is true
or not they received big reward for it.
The basin has always enjoyed "A good
reputation, and in all the recent trouble
there has been no charge of cat tie steal
ing preferred against the people there.

when she went to the window, and
there were no means of confirming the
fact afterward, because in pulling up
the blind they would, if open, be re-
turned to their former position. In

convinced that what she had seen and
heard was an extraordinary illusion
of the senses, parallel to that which
furnishes the sole excuse for a toler-
ably widespread belief in supernatural
appearances. She was ashamed of
the feebleness of mind which her expe-
riences seemed to imply, and, resolved
to overcome the weakness, resisted
all her fathers persuasions to change
those conditions under which she had
passed the last two nights.

1t is an interesting fact that Presi,

dent previous to Lincoln who wore
hair on his face, and Andrew Johnson
was the only President after Lincoln
who wore q smooth face. SINCE the
war boards have predominated. They
adorned the faces of Presidents Lin
coin, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Har-
rison. The element of whiskers, pure
and simple was represented by Presi-
dent Arthur, While Grover Cleveland
enjoys the distinction of being the
only President who wore mustache
without beard or whiskers. Upon
taking asummary the following ratio
appears: Fifteen presidents wore
smooth faces, four wore beard and
mustache, two wore side whiskers,
one wore beard and side growth and
one wore mustache- alone. Aside from

HOW LAWS ARE MADE.
What Is Done With a Bill After 1t
Passes Both Houses

Passes Both Houses.
After bill hasSrun the gauntlet OF
the two houses it is publicly signed
by each presiding officer and taken to
the President for his approval. He
has ten days! not including Sundays,
in which to examine the bill and make
up his mind. If nothing is heard from
him by the end of that period the bill
becomes law without his signature,
writes George Harold Walker in the
Chautauquan. Should he disapprove
or veto q bill he sends it back to that
branch OF Congress in which it origin
ated, stating his reasons in opposi-
ton, and then the measure is again
referred to committee and under
goes much the same experience as it
did at first, with this important diff
erence, that it must be voted for by
at least two-thirds of the members of
each house in order to overcome OBJ
jections of the chief magistrate Only
very strong public sentiment will de-
! velop sufficient votes to override the
Presidents veto, and this right gives
him almost legal power in legislation
with Congress. Should the President
decline to sign bill and Congress ad-
iourn before the expiration OF the ten
day period, it receives what is popu-
larry known as "pocket veto"
After bill has been approved by
the President the Department OF
State causes it to be printed and pro-
mulgated. Not the slightest variation
is made i'll printing the new law; even
mistakes and spelling and punctua-
ton are closely copied. Many people
: would think this foolish practice,
but it is wise practice after all, for
were the Secretary of State given per-
mission to revise the language of a
bill he might make changes in wording
and punctuation that would COM
pletely overturn the intentions of
Congress when the bill was enacted.
Millions of dollars are involved and
grave constitutional questions arise
on the insertion or omission OF even a
comma.

A the Iananasa Make Tea,

The British Medical Journal in
commenting on the death of boy
who died from drinking hot tea with
out milk, says that the tea had been
left in the oven for some time, so that
it had become a strong decoction OF
tannin. In being drunk without milk
the tannin was not brought into a
relatively harmless albumincus tan
ate. 1t is on account of this method
of making tea that it is so injurious
to digestion. Neither the Chinese nor
the Japanese who know how to make
tea, use milk with it; but with them
the hot water is poured on and off the
leaves at table and is drunk as soon
as it becomes a pale straw color. No
people in the world drink as mnch tea
as the Japanese, yet in Japan it is
never injurious to the digestion, as,
by their method of preparation, the
tannin is not extracted from the
leaves.
