The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-24
OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

last winter. This, Of course, is in keep
ing with the railroad companies belief.
That they are eager to choke the Popu-
lists to death is self evident fact.
Strict orders have been issued by the
executive council that the state house
must remain closed on Sunday. This
order. was given to prevent the tough
element from coming in and carrying on
their nefarious work Of running the state
house with their filth.
The people OF Kansas should feel
proud Of Attorney General Little in his
determination to exterminste combines
and trusts, and also his emphatic reply
to railroad magnates that our governor
resides in Topeka and is not running
over the state hunting railroad preai-
dents.
w. D. Vincent is at home looking after
his interest in the Dispatch. By the way,
w. d. has as fine q hardware store a.
there 10 In Kansas, and ne told q truth
when he said he paid more freight in
one day than Marsh Murdock does in
one year. Marsh should chalk this down
in his book of facts, il he has any such
book.
The house and senate journals will be
out soon; also a journal of the Dunsmore
house, and the session laws. The house
journal was "doctorsd" by F. L. Brown,
and will no doubt be "daisy." There
isn't Populist representative in Kansas
that knows what that journal is. It was
neither printed, read or approved while
the legislature was in session.
Geo. T. Anthony and Mitchell are
quite conspicuous for their absence since
they were dethroned. This ia the first
time in the history Of Kansas that Geo.
7. Anthony has been compelled to let
loose OF the public crib. George said it
was not the financial part that restrained
him from giving up his position, but he
was obeying the voice of the people.
And 10 and behold! when the supreme
court ousted him then he wanted Vim
cent to allow him the pay from Fsbru-
airy 25 to March l, and he didn't care for
q racket, but wanted that much money.
Well, there was no racket, and George
didn't get the money, either.
Last week was very busy week at the
state house. Old reports OF various de-
psrtmsnts we're boxed up and sent broad
cast through the state. There was over
five TONS Public documents were printed,
no doubt, for the public, but q very
small portion Of the public ever got to
see them. Those sent out last week will
reach the farmer. Over 5000 copies of
extra census bulletin No. IA, giving
mortgage statistics in Kansas, were sent
to the old administration in 1891 for dis
tribution in the state, but, to say the
least, they were not molested until the
calamity howlers put their fingers on
them.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, May 16.-The Ex-
change bank, Of Normal, suburb Of this

by the assignment Of w. NJ. Fields &
Bro, which was fled this morning, and

Field & Bro. are among the largest inn
porters of draft and coach horses in the

cline of the stock a0bich they bundle. The
liabilities Of the bank are estimated at
800, 900 to $15O,000, while the personal
liabilities Of Fields will be fully as much
more. No statement Of assets can be

ported draft and coach horses, vast
tracts Of lands in Iowa, the Dakotas and

Weeping Trees.

In the forests OF Oregon, Washington,
Montana and British Columbia there is
species of tree that has continuous
and copious dripping of pure, clear wa
ter from the end of its leaves and
branches. This extraordinary sight
may be witnessed at all seasons when
the leaves are on, and seems equally as
plentiful on clear, bright days as on
damp, cloudy nights. The tree is 4
species of fir and the weeping" phe-
nomenon is attributed to a remarka bic
power of condensation peculiar to the
leaves and bark of this species of ever
green. In the island of Ferro there are
many species of weeping trees" but
in this latter case the tears appear,
