The reception given the incoming STATE
administration of Kansas in Representative
hall was patterned after the Political picnicA
which have become so common in Kansas.
There we're speeches, no end; songs. cheers
and glorihcation.
Here Is an extract from one speech, given
as a sample-Congressman Jerry Simpson
said:
''The struggle in this state was not between
the peoples party and the republican party,
but between the peoples party aud the rail-
road corporations. You have beaten the
Santa Fe railroad and you must take charge
Of the government, You must organize the
legislature in this hall tomorrow and
wouldn't lot the techncalites of the law
stand In the way. Call this revolution IL
you will. do not favor revolution in this
case, but only as last resort, but see to it
that you organize the legislature here to-
morrow.
Congress is as great failure for getting
Justice for the people as the legislature in
this state, for corporation is enthroned there.
Not one measure for the benefit of all the
people has passed those two houses for twen-
ty-fve years"
He advocated the Australian ballot law
and the right to vote being granted to every
free-born citizen regardless of sex, and he
also said a maximum freight bill must DO
passed.

His IndinnAnnlla Homn.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 1O.--Wth re-
poet to the reported invitation extended to
the resident by the Stanford university, Of
California, TO deliver occasional lectures be-
fore its students friend of the pre- lent
said he believed that such an invitation had
been received, but that it was prob ,blO that
no definite conclusions about it had been
reached.
kven If the invitation wero accepted, Mr..
Harrison's presence at the university would
only be occasional. His old home in Indian
apoliS and the many ties which bind him to
that city would, therefore, be infrequently
and temporarily disturbed.
"Hewever," the gentleman concluded,
this is but possibility. feel positive that
the president's ouly definite panS relate to
his return to indianapolis, tho re-establish-
ment of his residence there, the comforts of
a needed reIt and determination to engage
in thu practice of his profession in important
cases where his services are required"

Wins in the Court.

LINCOLN, NEB., January 1o.--The novel
case, the first of itS kind ever tried, came up
in the district here. Dr. W. B. Sinsher, of
Goodland, Kan. last July contracted with a
syndicate OF Lincoln capitalists to bring
rain within three days for $1,000. The
rain came on time, but the syndicate refused
payment and demanded proof that it was
Sinsher's rain. The wizard was ordered to
bring his apparatus into court and he COM
piled. 1t consisted of two immense mills,
jars, galvanic battery, copper wire, mott n
zinc, pair of gigantic tunnels, the whole
thing connected with small tubes, one of
which was supposed to discharge the cheml-
cal solution into the outer air. After a long
argument the court decided that Sinsher
need not disclose his formula or demon
strate how he brought down moisture. He
swore solemnly tn It he produced the rain
and got judgment for $1,000.

TOPEKA, KAN, Janu Try 11.-Pandemo-
mum regned in the hall of the house
of representatives in the Kansas state house
from noon until night and then seemed
to be indefinite in its con inuance. Repub-
lie members ranged on one side of the
hall, elected a speaker and clerk; populist
members standing on the other side did the
same thing. Republicans numbered 63,
populists, So. Repu 'licans made motions,
their speaker decl ire them; populsts fol-
low d suit. Republi ans raised a committee
to wait on the governor to "pprise HIM of
the org nization of the house. This action,
and bout every hing republicans did was
followed by similar &C ion by the pop1liIts.
The republican commit ee to wait on the
governor went out to perform that duty and
were refused admit.ance to the governors

LerIslatnrs Must Decide.

The last of the four contest cases taken
efore the supreme court is decided. The
court, through Judge Johnston, refuses a
mandamus in the tie contest case in Cotfey
county. The county board corrected an
error in the fooungs of the returns from
1von township resulting in Tie vote in the
district, which was decided by lot as the
law requires by the state canvassing board.
Contest proceedings were brought to COM
pei the equity board to reconvene and make
return according to the face of the footiRgs
returned from the township, which would
give the pop2lst candidate one majority.
The supreme court brought the returns be-
lore it, and upon examination decided that
the action Of the county board was correct.
The decision closes with the evident conclu.
sion that If a wrong has been done "by the
action OF the county canvassing board it can
only be corrected by the house of represent
atiyesn

fastened and offered his assistance. The
general mentioned that his expectoration
had been discolored with blood. He did not
appear to think seriously of the matter, how.
ever, and after HE valet had assisted him to
his bed he said That's all, West. You
need not do anything more, and apparently
went to sleep.
The general had been on his bed but few
minutes, however, when his heavy breath
ing caused alarm. 1t was fully fifteen min
utes before a physician could reach him and
then the general was in extremis. The doc

end was apparently p uni so.
The general was at the war department
during the afternoon after his appearance
in court during the day and after his return
to the house he ate dinner, after which he
sat pleasantly chatting with the members of
the household. He retired about II o'clock,
apparently as we'll as ever.
