The "Social Glass" Entertainment.
The "Social Glass" entertainment, rem
dered by the Wa-Keeney amateurs at
the opera house last Tuesday evening,
was well patronized and the audience
was quite appreciative While the differ
ent parts of the drama were all sustained
by those who made their debut on that
occasion, all performed their parts credit
ably and several of them gave evidence
of much talent in the rough. Miss
Mamie Brown as Eva Thornly, Miss
Bessie Ferris as Nettie Nettleby and
Miss Mabel Lawrence as Mrs. Farley, all
did very we'll considering their very linn
tied time for practice. G. W. Hatch end
Sam A. Swiggert sustained their respect
i've roles to the satisfaction of their
friends. bob Brittle" by Jay Carson,
sustains very much the same relation to
the Social Glass" that the character Of
Hamlet does in one of Shakespeare fam
GUS plays and to have omitted Sob"
would have deprived the boys of all their
fun. The rendition of this character was
exceptionally strong. The orchestra was
the recipient of many kind words. Take
it all'in all the performance was good and
a very pleasant hour was spent by the
audience.

TOPEKA, KAN. Jan. II. 1898.
From Our Special WORLD Correspondent.
When the voters of Kansas went to the
polls on the 9Th day OF last November
and deposited their ballots for members
of the legislature, along with the other
officers voted for, few if any OF them as
much as dreamed that the men that they
would elect would be participants in a
legislative row such as was never before
witnessed in Kansas.
The republicans with ga members, a
constitutional majority, holding certiti-
Gates, declared they were right and
would never give in to the revolutionary
leaders on the populist side of the house.
The populists declared they had the only
house which would be recognized by the
powers that be and developments proved
them to be right in this assertion, and
that they would never recognize the right
of the republican majority. The repub-
lican forces were strengthened by the
three democrats; Rosenthal of Has
kell county, Chambers of Comanche and
Meagher, of Leavenworth, who announ-
ced that they recognized the republican
house as the only legally organized
house of representatives. When this an
nouncement was made, Jerry Simpson
who was present leaned over the press
table and whispered to reporter: "Thls
is the second time in the history of the
world Jew has betrayed his people.
The silver catches them every time"
Rosenthal was not long in hearing this
and the way he scored the statesman
from "Maidson Loge" was more forcible
than elegant.
The next happening Of importance was
on Thursday evening when Governor
Lewelling in message to the house rec
ognized the populists. Then came anoth-
ey lull in the proceedings. On Friday
the senate recognized the populist house
by accepting q concurrent resolution

asking for joint committee to wait on
the governor to inform him that the two
houses were in session, organized and
ready for business.
Senator Ed. O'Bryan democratic pop
ulist from Wichita, Senator billiard of
Fort Scott, whose political color is the
same as OBryan's and Senator Edwin
Taylor straight populist who succeed
ed the former republican leader, Billy
Buchan, joined and voted. with the re-
pu5licans in refusing to recognize the
populst house. The resolution however
was adopted by vote of II to 90, Sena-
tor Price, of Atchison, republican,, being
absent.
This completed the recognition of the
house and few minutes later the Gov
ernor in short message informed both
houses that his message would be pres
ented to them at 10 a. m. Tuesday, Jan.
18th. A joint agreement provided that
the floors and galleries should be clear
ed OF all persons except the members
themselves. There is no doubt had the
Office of both sides been kept out of the
hall, the members would have settled
their difficulties themselves during the
first few days. But the Office seekers
who care nothing for their party or state
are constantly figuring on how to take
care of themselves, have an influence
which is felt and which it cannot be de-
MED, controls the acts of many mem
bers.
Senator Perkins who is here wants a
democratic printer elected as it will be
favorable to his return to the senate
On the other hand the democrats them
selves would rather make deal whereby
they would get the senatorship and let
republicans have the state printer. What
the final outcome will be cannot even be
guessed at with any certainty.

We have heard of great many kinds
of fights, but one between a Wolf and a
coon is not common occurrence. Gill
bert Wolf "treed" fill .grown coon in a
hole two or three feet deep one day last
week and with the spirit of one of our
revolutionary generals-only in less de-
gree-went after it and after a hard
struggle pulled it out and killed it. The
coon was very large one and succeeded
in inficting more or less punishment on
Wolf before he vanquished it.

To be delivered at county clerks Office
on or before February 1st, 1898. Those
bringing grain and not receiving pre-
MUM will be allowed to take it away.
The commissioners will be the committee
to award premiums.
1T makes no difference whether he
wanted to test the alliance commission
ers or not, it was foolish bid. No print
or or publisher who has the interests of
his business and the craft at heart will
make such bid. It is no retrenchment
on the part of any county to cut its print
ers' fees down to nothing. The printer,
as we'll as the dealer in county supplies,
is worthy of his hire. And yet the sup
plies dealer is always paid full rates, and
often more, while the printer is expected
to "cut." Every newspaper does more
for the advancement of its county than
any hundred men in it, and the money
that the county pays that printer, though
it be at full legal rates, is but small
part Of what the county really owes him.
And then the county commissioners are
too prone to waste valuable time scrutin-
izing and trying to cut down the bills of
the printer, who spends his hard earned
money in the community in which he
lives, while if bill of some supply house
which spends it's money outside the coun-
ty, comes up it is allowed without a
murmur, even if 1873 per cent is added to
the ordinary price. We do not say that
all commissioners do this way, but we do
say that the tendency among them is in
this direction. A printer who does coun-
ty work for nothing is blamed fool
