Mighty Deceiving.'

A pretty good fish story is told on
Uncle Jimmy" Case, of Green Cove,
Fla. He was out fishing the other
day and hooked what he claims was
q mammoth like all fisher
men. the largest fish always get
away. He said that the trout weighed
about ten pounds. All went well
for several days until a man,
friend of Cases, happened to be out
on the river, and seeing stray cork
acting in suspicious manner hauled
it in, and much to his surprise
found Uncle Jimmy's trout still
fastened to the hook, but instead OF
being a monster the fish weighed
less than two pounds. Uncle jim
my" was jokcd by his friends, but
he says the weight of fish on line
is mighty deceiving," and no doubt
his version is the correct e.-Phil-

NJ p.rneil's Poverty.

uere - ono Of Chauncey NJ. Depew's
stories:
When Parnell was in this country
in 1880 he visited Albany and stopped
at the Delevan House. His rooms
were on the first fioor-the same
rooms that Tweed once occupied. a
decanter of whisky and two lemons
stood on the table. and newspapers.
and writing materials were scattered
all around. Parnell left the room for
q little while. A well known Irish
American lawyer, looking for his own
room. which was Immediately IN the
rear of Parnell's suite of apartments
got into Parnells rooms by mistake.
Seeing the whisky and lemons on
the table he said. We'll. the land
lord must either appreciate my pat
ronage or he intends to increase my
bill" Just then an old lI1shman
came in and said. "Oh, MIR. Parneh,
God save and keep your honor, ana
gave fiorid speech of compliment
to the supposed liberator
Then he continued; Hard luck
has pursued me in the new country,
and | have become very poor, ana
while you are raising money for the
eyicted tenants and the poor souls on
the other side who need 1t pad
enough am SO much worse off than
they that think you might give me
little" The lawyer jumped up. and
grasping the old mans hands cordial
" pressed into them the two lemons,
and wiping his eyes as he retired
from the room he said; "Goodby;
Goodby. my friend, give you all l
have" The astonished recipient
was months afterward telling the
story of the wonderful poverty ana
generosity of Mr.. Parnell.-New

Governor dwellings PROCLAIM atio on.

Governor Lewelling issued a proclamation
calling out the entire militia of the state.
He first recites a statement of the organiza-
ton of the legislature, the mutual recogni-
tioa of the senate and house, and the execu-
tive recognition of both; and the obstruc-
ton to business by the legislature of a
pretended organization of a so-called house
OF representatives and Its officers. He then
says:
"'AND WHEREAS, It is the exclusive right of
each house of the legislature to determine
for itself who are entitled to seats therein,
or who constitute the membership thereof,
and that the courts of the state have no
power or jurisdiction to inquire or determine
such questions;
"AND WHEREAS, The Hon. j. M. Dunsmore,
speaker of the house of representatives, has
officially informed the executive of the state
that the house over which he presides is
menaced by the presence of large num Der
of persons who have obtruded themselves
into the hall of the house of representatives
in manner indicating lawless and insur-
rectionary purpose to break up. the lawful
house of representatives, and drive the OIL
GERS and members thereof from their hall,
and from the capitol building;
"AND WHEREAS, Said unlawful organiZa-
ton has unjustifabay and arbitrarily and un-
lawfully assumed to order the arrest of the
cher clerk OF the lawful mouse or representa-
tives, with a vlew of precipitatiug collision
between said unauthorized and unlawful
body and the lawful house Of representatives
and its officers and mem bers, and with force
and violence broken down the doors of the
representative hail, and forcibly elected
therefrom the officers and members of the
legal house of representatives;
''AND WHEREAS, in order to avert, if posi-
bic, any resort to the military arm of the
state to preserve the public peace, and to
enforce the laws of the state. l applied to
and directed the sheriff of the country of
Shawnee, in whose jurisdiction the capital
of the state is situated, to protect the said
house of representatives in its constitutional
rights and to SO preserve the peace as to en-
able said house to peaceably continue it's
deliberations, and said sheriff has failed
and refused to comply with said order and
directions;
'AND WHEREAS, The public peace should
be preserved, and rights of the house of rer-
resentatives should be respected, to the end
that the people of the state may be pro-
tected in all their rights
The proclamation then closes with the
formal paragraphs which order the militia
into service.

The Sheriff's Recruiting Office.

TOPEKA, February 18.-Sheriff Wilkerson
appeared in tho lobby of the Copeland hotel
and read proclamation, stating that he b.
lieved the peace of Shawnee county was
about to be broken, and as the peace officer of
this county commanded that all citizens
come to his aid in preserving peace. He
opened an office in the reading room of the
hotel. Within half an hour 200 men had
signed document pledging to support him.
Two other recruiting stations were opened
at II o'clock and 1000 men had been sworn
in before noon. Men OF all stations of life
signed the roll-the banker, the laborer, the
clerk and his employer, the Grand Army
veterans and the beardless youths.
AS soon as they signed thev were sworn in
and were given the insignia of Office and
were ordered to remain in calling distance.
A. B. Campbell, adjutant general under
Governor Humphreys administration, was
chosen chief deputy.
The matter of arming the posse presented
serious difficulties. 1t was decided that it
would be dangerous to place fire arms in the
hands of 80 many armed men and the sheriff
finally hit upon arming his men with base
ball bats. A thousand bats were not to be
had. but half that number we're obtained,
the other 500 being armed with heavy sticks.

A Body Guard and q Club.

The popullst house was prevented by the
prevailing excitement from doing business.
after the rescue of Chief Clerk Rich from
arrest.
Rich was closely guarded the remainder
of the day. H. c. Lindsey. Cal. Brewer,
Frank Herald, John F. Willis and num-
Der of other stalwart populists stood near the
chief clerks room the greater prat of the
afternoon to prevent the rcpu blicans again
taking possession of Mr.. Rich. Late in the
the afternoon it became niece ssary for Mr..
Rich to take a message to the senate. When
he left the room he carried a large club and
was accompanied to and from the senate
chamber by body guard of almost dozen
populists. Rich was closely guarded through
out the evening and precaution will be
taken to make it impossible for the republi-
cans to again arrest him.

perse them by military force unless they
vacated the hall peaceably.
He then urged the house to surrender the
custody of the hall into his hands without
conditions.
Speaker pro tenn Hoch asked the governor
If it would not be fair, if any side abandon
the hall, that both sides abandon it until a
decision is reached; during the tendency of
the contest.
The governor replied by refusing to dis
cuss such q condition. He then referred to
the statements so generally made that the
republicans had been anxious to have bill
passed that the contest might be brought
into court, and referred to the appropriation
bill, which had been passed, as giving this
opportunity; again urging a surrender of
the hall to him.
Representative Greenlee then asked the
governor If he would regard the decision of
the supreme court as final settlement of
the difficulty; which the governor refused to
answer.
After Lewelling had left the hall citizens
committee, composed of Ex-Governor Thom-
as A. Osborn, DR.. Peter McVicar, ?. G. Noel
and E. Bennett, took the speakers stand.
Governor Osborn advised resistance up to
the point of bloodshed, but that the house
should surrender and vacate if physically
overpowered, without the shedding of blood.
Douglass and Hoch then gave instructions,
the priacapal point being that no personal
indignity to a deputy should cause him to
use fire arms; but that surrender would not
be thought of until overcome by armed force.
