PEACE REIGNS IN KANSAS.
GRlM-VlSAGED WAR FORCED TO
RETIRE.
The Troops Are Withdrawn and the
Republicans Retain Posses
sion of Representatives
Hall-The PopuliStS
Are Wrathy.
Topeka Is Tranquil.

Topeka. Kan. Feb 1S.-Thc battle
flags are furlcd. The state troops have
been sent home. The armed posse of
deputy >hcritf> has been di>bandcd. Re
publicans and PopuliStS alike have laid
down their arms. The war is over. The
lhreatcnin" perilS of the last four days
have been :.vcrtel and peace again rcigns
supreme throughout Kansas. The dcvei-
opmcnts of the day are regarded ON all
sides as a decisive victory for the Isepub-
leans. Even the PopuliStS with cha-rin
ANA openly expressed Indignation ut what
some of them call weakness admit that
the Republicans have triumphed for the
time at least. Peace WAS restored by the
acceptance" by the governor and the Re
publican house of Il compromise PROPOSE
ton for the cessation of hoStilties. BY
the terms of this proposition the Repub-
leans secure undiSputcl possession OF
representative hall in the capitol. The
l'opulStS secure the hollow privilege of
meeting undisturbed in some other place
The failure of the populiSt plan to drive
the Republicans from representative hall
after they had barricaded themselves
there Wednesday morning was due to the
refusal of the very force upon which the
fCpuistS had depended to carry the plan
int" eXccution-the state militia. Conse-
qucntly the 1opulstS We're compelled to
sue for peace. The governor claims the
l'opuiStS have carried their point, which
was the prevention of the arrest by the
Republican house of the chief clerk Rich
of the PopulSt house, which started all
the trouble last Tuesday.
The events of the last few days and
their final result will have no effect on
The unfortunate Legislative middle. There
will he no amalgamaton of the parties
The populiStS say the populiSt house will
go right ahead making laws the same as
if there were no such thing as courts
no matter what the courts may decide.
The senate will continue to recognize the
house and the governor will sign the bills
passed by it. Should the bills he declared
invalid by reason of having been passed
by an illegal house. then, say the Popu-
lists. the blame will rest upon the courts.
In case such Il thing comes to pass the
state institutions. the colleges. aSylumS,
schools, etc. would doubtless have to
close.
Tonight the city is very quiet. The
Republican members have gone to their
homes to spend their Sabbath. The Pop
ulists have all left town. and the deputy
Sheriffs. who have been on continuous
duty since yesterday morning, have gone
home for much needed rest.

HOW WE LIVE IN AMERICA,
Both In the Matter Of Food and
Dress This Country Is Far Ahead

Both In the Matter Of Food and
Dress This Country Is Far Ahead.
1t has long been stoutly asserted
that the average American eats bet
ter food and wears better clothes
than any other creature on earth.
But now science comes forward with
her searchlight of fact and reason to
give all needed support to this import
ant claim. The process of proof is as
follows: The unit of food value is
known technically as "caloric." The
declared average OF the American
workingmen's rations is $500 calor-
les per day, the Europeans diet only
reaches from 1890 to 1900 calorics
per day; thus demonstrating the
nutritive value OF our food to be
about twice as great as the English
mans or Frenchman's.
Professor Atwater very pro perly
concludes that hosefortunate enough
to live in this land OF Goshen enjoy
only one priceless boon: "a rich
abundance of the food they need to
make the most Of themselves and
their work"
Proper physical support is the
basis OF our animal life and gives that
liberal nourishment necessary for
large productions and intellectual and
moral progress. Let ascetics rave as
they please and get their notices from
the cynic tub, it yet follows that a
correct use of these provisions is the
maine condition OF a comfortable life
aye, OF life itself. Bread has d.
vine mission, To abuse eating is glut-
tony, to have nothing to eat is misery
and death, and it seems to us that
none may strike the golden mean so
efficiently as Americans. Concerning
dress, ask any observant man who
has visited Europe to give you re-
suit OF his experience in the matter.
The concurrent verdict is in favor OF
the American attire.-N. Y. Ledger.

TRYING TO MAKE WAR HUMANE.
Explosive Bullets Even Too Brutal for

Explosive Bullets Even Too Brutal for
the AustriAns
The Austrian government, in proceed
ing to institute trials for new kinds OF
bullets devoid Of explosive resulte, gives
an example that might we'll be followed
by other nations Of the world who have
armed their military forces with the
rife OF small calibre When the latter
style Of weapon was adopted it was
sup osed that the bullets used would in.
f1ict less serious wounds than the old
fashioned and more ponderous missile.
The post norton on the body Of soldier
who was but recently shot at Vienna
has, however, disclosed the fact that. go
far from the small missile only punctur-
ing and passing through, 1t made a
hideous wound, the steel covering break
ing off from the leaden core of the pro-
jectile and the pieces spreading in the
body of the victim with an explosive
effect. According to accounts from the
French battlefelds in Dahomey, the
bullets from the Lebel rifle show the
same results, and tear their way in the
body in q terrible fashion; and thit
knowledge, taken jointly with the
fatality at Vienna and the subsequent
action OF the government Of Austria, vii
in all probability be largely instrumental
in restoring to general use the older ant
equally effective, but less inhumar
weapons OF warfare.

q. A. X Encampment At Indianapolis.
The growth of the Grand Army OF the
Republic since it's organization in 1866
has been rapid and widespread beyond
the widest hopes of it's originators. Ten
states were represented in the meeting
at which it WAS founded. Today, TWEEN
ty-seven years later, it comprises forty.
five departments, 1900 posts and nearly
500, 900 members. Within the last few
years, certainly within ten OF twelve, it's
annual encampments have grown to
enormous proportions. At the encamp-
ment held in Washington last year it
WAS estimated that not less than 800 900
people we're in attendance. The veter-
ans seem to realize that there will not be
many years left them in which to fight
their battles over again, and 30 they
come together once each year in greater
numbers than when the organization
was younger.
This year the encampment is to be
held in the West, and Indianapolis has
been chosen as the city. The arrange
ments for the entertainment and amuse-
ment OF the veterans will be the most
liberal that have ever been made. A
fund OF $3.50 600 has been raised by the
citizens Of Indianapolis for expenses
and the plans are of a character that
assure the old veterans the greatest en-
campment in the history Of the Grand
Army.
