THURSDAY.

The people Of Topeka awoxe OF the
sound Of the bugle call to find thousands
Of strangers in the city. Hundreds more
were coming on every train. The state
house had been under military guard
all night and another sleepless night had
been spent by its occupants.
The sheriff opened a recruiting Office
and swore in nearly 1000 deputies in
addition to those he had enlisted the
day before.
2 The Robinson Rifles, q company oftrue
blue young men, named in honor OF
Kansas first war Gov srr T, came over from
Lawrence fifty-two strong. Another
company Of twenty students from the
state university, whose weapons were
wooden guns and the college yell also
came.
A peace conference vas brought about
through the efforts Of ez Governor Robin
son, ex- Governor Osborne and Col. Lynde,
Of Miami. They found a willing listener
in the governor and before noon COM
mittee from the Douglass house called
at the executive Office. Severed PROPOSE
tions were considered but when night
came solution had not been reached.
Many Populists wanted the governor to
disperse the militia without compromise
and leave representative hall to the re-
publican members and the sheriff's
thugs, and many think yet this would
have been the best plan.
More troops arrived during the day,
and when night came the tension Of pub
lie feeling had not abated particle. The
state house grounds began TO look like q
military camp. Passes we're necessary
to gain admission to the state house.
Messages came pouring in from the
friends Of both sides telling them TO
stand firm and not finch. Many came
from outside the state. The eyes of the
nation were on Kansas.

FRIDAY.

Ten inches Of snow, the heaviest seen
in Topeka for many years, came like
messenger Of peace Thursday night. II
had a cooling effect.
The peace conference, which had held
several sessions during the night, came to
the following agreement about noon. 1t
was agreed to by the governor and the
Douglass house:

If you choose, and then let the process
that you see ct TO pursue, follow. That
is all have to say, gentlemen, further
than to add that as the matter now
stands it becomes my duty TO use some
method, which l almost shrink from
naming, to secure possession OF this hall.

Sometime after the republicans gained
possession Of representative hall they
succeeded in getting themselves COM
parstively quiet Their new sergeant-st-
arms, R. B. WEIGH, continued to swear
in deputies as long as any person from
the age of Is years up could be induced
to take the oath. Boys, old men, and it
is said even one or two women were en-
listed and labeled with deputy's badge.
When WEIGH heard that the militia had
been called out, he called up the law de-
partment Of the Santa Fe company
Whose general Offices are across the
street from the state house,, and re-
quested that they order out their shop

THE WHITE FEATHER.

The sensation Of the day was when
Col. j. W. F. Hughes, Of Topeka, who
had during the day been given command
Of the Third regiment, entered the hall
at 1890 p. m. and assured the anarchists
that he was not soldering against them.
In a speech he said:

THEY WE'RE NOT GUILTY.

The EAGLE some short time since gave
an account of neighborhoou racket
which resulted in several arrests and Il
trial. From later information and sub
sequent trial there was evidently Injustice
done to ID. ). Whitemore and wife aud
Edgar j. Rosensieil. One Alva White, a
renter on " hitemore's farm, and whose
family occupied II portion of the White
more home, rendered himself particular
obnoxious to Mrs. Whitemore aud family.
which was of course resented and very
properly. Whereupon White swore out
warrant for the arrest of Mr. Whitemore,
Mrs. Whitemore and young Rosensteil.
The action was purely one of chagrin and
spleen AS was afterwards proved. White
more in fact was not at home the day
the trouble occurred. But last Friday, the
18th, the whole matter was heard in
Judge Reeds court before a jury. The
jury after hearing all the evidence prompt
ly brought in verdict of not guilty. re-

iy Mrs. Curtis, and also the other defend

OPPOSED TO ANNEX

Postmaster Ed Jewett WAS until yester-
day an enthusiast in favor of the annexa-
tion of Canada TO the United States. His
fondest dream was to see the stars and
stripes floating over every foot of land
from the north pole to the Panama canal,
and from Ireland to the Sandwich islands,
but, like many other dreamerS. his eyes
have been opened to stern realities. Yes
terday he received a newspaper from Brit
ish Columbia. addressed to "Wichotow,
near Kansas City, No" Now, then. If the
Canadian newspaper had been addressed
TO kansas City, near Wiehita," he would
not have uttered werd; but he sees in the
dense ignorance OF the publisher repre-
sentation of the intellectual condition of
the people, and be is not IN favor of adj
hitting them into fellowship until they
are better posted in geography, at least.

WHY sYMPATHIZE WITH WOMEN:

Shades of dust heaps; visions Of sapolio,
whiting oil. paint and suds; images of
paper hangers, slow negroes and scrubbins
brushes: horrors upon horrors. no place to
write. nor spot to rest ones rambling
feet, and don't we sympatisze though with
the woman who has q half dozen or so
rooms to clean instead of but one or two.
The EAGLE has been house cleaning
sanctum and reportorial rooms. Seven
days ofconfusion, strain ana moral blight,
wherein the influences of early piety were
exhausted and the consultations of the
church failed. The most trying thing the
devil could think of for Job was a case Of
boils but the old patriarch simply went
out of doors, set down in the dirt and
jawed back at hts friends until he got over
them, a season of house cleaning would
not only have subdued Job but silenced
Mrs. Job.
However, it's all over, and being settled
we are not only ready, but anxious, that
all our lady friends, ia anu out Of town,
shall call before the next windstorm re-
duces US to state worse than the original
one. An editor is too busy. of course, to
return calls, but he can find ways of &C
knowiedging them that might prove far
less troublesome and more pleasant.
Don't make any excuses. II we fail of ap-
propriating an idea or of pillaging a mite
OF society gossip the pleasure OF such ii
recognition by our lady readers will still
amply repay. And the EAGLE man be-
lieves he has hosts of lady friends, at
least he hopes so. We would invite the
gentlemen also. but what do they know
about diiettanteism or aesthetics, whether
the color of the wallpaper harmonizes
with either the editors hair or complexion,
or whether their feet should go on top or
under the table. AS callers they are not a
great success, in short are absolutely safe
only when accompanied by ladies, then
they are most welcome
