Tie April COSMOPOLITAN.

While writing with all the scientific
knowledge of great astronomer, Camille
Flammaron IN his marvellous story "Omega,
the End of the World" which begins in the
April number of the Cosmopolitan maya
zine, keeps the reader at the highest point
of excitement by his vivid description of
the alarm and despair excited by the APP
proach of comet whose collision with the
earth had been declared by astronomers
inevitable. The description begins at a
time when the business of the world has
been suspended, and at great mass-meet-
ing held in the Institute of France, we hear
the discussion of scientists as to the posi-
bil1ty of 4 second deluge, the drying up of
all the surface water of the globe, or the
total destruction of human life by cold, to-
gether with all the possible phases of death
paralleled by the history of the moon. For
scientific statement and sensational effect
this characteristic production of French
genius is unique. and the reader who reads
this marvellous story-and if he begins he
will certainly finish it will have assimiI-
ated without effort, compact store of scien-
tifc knowledge. In this way, apart from
its absorbing interest, this remarkable piece
of fiction will have distinct sci entific value.

Kansas Republicans Seeking to Uncove
Corruption.

Kansas Republicans Seeking to Uncover
Corruption.
TOPEKA, Kan. March 21.-The indus
try of the Populists in seeking to oppose
corruption during the late legislature
has stirred up the Republicans, who are
about ready to spring another sensation
on Kansas City. They are unwilling to
give names ana details until they get
their witnesses before the committee,
and as the story has no connection with
the original object of the investigation
it is possible that the committee may
vote not to go into it.
The story briefly told is that two
purses, one of 500 and one of 800, were
raised to defeat the Wyandotte county
fee bill, and the bill abolishing the court
of common pleas of that county. Both
bills were defeated. It is reported that
a man, who was not a member of the
legislature, secured the fee bill and
burned it. The senate investigation
committee will resume its labors, with
Judge Lagate on the stand. Another
important witness who has been sub
poenaed, is ex-Attorney General Brad
ford. It is said that he will swear that
both Mr.. Cheese and Mr.. Little had
knowledge of the deal.

GATHERING NE.kR THE LINE.
Homessekers Crowding Arkansas Cit.

Homesgekers CrOwding Arkansas City
and Vicinfty-No Early Opening.
TOPEKA. Kan, March 18.-Captain
Charles NJ. Foulks, general CLAIM agent
of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad, who was in Arkansas City, says
the place has assumed an appearance
that reminds one of a busy frontier
town in the early days of Kansas.
Sixty days ago there were many vacant
houses in Arkansas City, but today
there is not one, and even barns and
wagon sheds have human tenants. The
new corners are, of course, boomers
waiting for the Cherokee strip to be
opened. In addition to the people who
live in houses in the city there are many
settlements in the timber close by.
Tents and wagon camps are to be found
everywhere that is convenient to wood
and water.
Captain Feulks says these people are.
generally speaking, of the better class.
Those who have made their temporary
homes in the city reached there by rail
and are well supplied with household
goods. stock and farming implements,
especially plows and harrows and
other articles that a settler in new
country would need Immediately. There
also seems to be considerable ready
money among them, and the retail trade
of the city is booming. Hotels and
boarding houses share in the prosperity.

Dntv of the State.

In an article in The American Journal
of Politics Hon. c. II. Reeve contends
that unless strikes and lockouts be rec
ognized as conditions in government
there is grave danger that laborers may
become the slaves of capitalists; that
the body of the people and their bust
ness interests may become subject to the
dictation of private corporations created
by class legislation; that agrarianism
may be encouraged and liberty impaired.
By vicious legislation he says the state
has made these things possible, and by
judicious legislation it should now make
them inpossi ole.

HIT Hla WITH a HATcHET.

} Ohm Clemens. COIOred Gam DI er,
Uses Hatchet on c.. Wah Lee.
Another butchering occurred in Good
land Sunday morning, about daylight. For
several days a coIored man, with drawn-up
leg and walking with a erutch, was about
town. No one knew his business or stopped
10 enquire. 1t turned out that he was a
professional gambler and tough and gave
his name as John Clemens. but where he
came from we have not learned. It is re-
ported that he came from Norton here.
1t seems that he was engaged gambling
with the Chinaman, Charley Wah Lee, who
runs laundry in the Brown building, I'M
til midnight. He then went away. The
Chinaman won about $15 from the niger.
and he plotted TO hold him up and take the
money from him. About daylight on Sun
day morning he raped next door where
Turner, a carpenter patches, and enquired
for the laundry man. He was directed TO
the next door. Turner heard him rap and
the Chinaman came to the door and asked
what was wanted. He replied that he
wanted to get some laundry work done. 1t
seems the Chinaman suspected him and
held the door, but the niger pushed his
way in, and demanded the Chinaman's
money, saying: "WOed up or 1 will kill
you.'' John said: II only got two dollar,'
and gave him that. Thereupon he seized u
Ratchet lying near and struck John in the
face twice with the sharp edge cutting him
so it was easy enough to take the balance of
his money about $1S. He then hit the road.
John on coming to raped on the wall for
Turner to come to his assistance, and Dr.
II. p. Candy was sent for to dress his
wounds The negro for some reason re-
turned and put up s. to pay the doctor, the
very money taken from the Chinaman. The
sheriff was notified and arrested the negro
and was lodged in Jail. On Monday there
was preliminary hearing before Justice
Calvert, and the facts above stated being
proven he was bound over to the district
court under 81 900 bond and the Chinaman
500 bond to appear as witness. The brute
will probably land in the penitentiary. 1t is
high time this cutting business was put a
stop to and that thugs making murderous
assaults with dangerous weapons were sent
to the penitentiary. There should be no
relaxing of law in these cases. Give them
the full benefit of the penalty for such seri-
Gus and grave Offenses. The law abiding
people of our city are tired of these breaches
of the peace and unprovoked assaults upon
our peaceable citizens.

A WHISKY WAR.

Usage County, Kan. People Oppose the
Running of Joints.
Topeka, March 21.-A whisky war is
on in Usage county. The people are up
in arms against the Kansas City houses
that are running joints in several towns.
Rev. Mr.. Miller, president of the state
temperance union, was called to Usage
county two weeks ago, and has since
lectured at several towns. The people
are divided and bad blood is siown on
all sides. At Usage City Saturday, a
car load of liquor was seized and de-
stroyed in the presence of a great crowd.
The state temperance union will wage
a vigorous war on the Joints all over
the state. Feeling is running high, and
a genuine whisky war is iminent.

BRIBERY CASE ON. &
Editor Hudson Testifies Before the Senate
InvestIgating Committee.

investigating committee.
TOPEKA, March l0.-J. K. Hudson,
of the Topeka Capital, was the first
witness before the senate committee
investigating thecharges of bribery made
by. him against Governor Lewelling,
Private Secretary E. J. Close, Attorney
General Little and james f. Legate.
Mr.. Hudson produced a letter from
Legate, which he said contained Lee
gates confession that he had received
$4,000. 1t was published some days
ago and in it, it was denied that Close,
Little or Lewelling knew anything
about it. Hudson also produced a let
ter from R. R. Finley, offering to fur
nish the names of men who had col
Iected the 81. 500 from the gamblers.
In answer TO question by Senator
King, Mr.. Hudson said that he had no
knowledge of his own that Governor
Lewelling admitted that money had
been paid. He said also that the only
knowledge that he had had that money
had been paid to Legate was from
Legate himself. Mofhtt declined to
give his authority for his statement.

photographed for 50 years and would not ad-
nit artists or reporters to his office or home
the editors were in a quandary. He finally
waived his objections, however, and sat for
the portrait This picture incident is an
iEdex to one side of the attorney generals
character. It shows that while he is a man
of very strong convictions he is still open
to argument.
Richard Olney is probably the best paid
lawyer in New England. He has practiced
at the Boston bar for over 30 years and has
for some time been attorney for number
of great railroad corporations, including
the Boston and Maine, the Chicago, Bur
ington and Quincy and the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe This practice is said
to net him an income of $50, 900 year.
Mr.. Olney has never before held office, al
though he was once an unsuccessful candi-
date for attorney general of Massachusetts.
He has always been a Democrat, and twice
declined to accept place on the supreme
bench of Massachusetts,. He is a warm
friend of General P. A. Collins, and this
friendship is supposed to have some iniu-
ence in his selection for attorney general,
although he has summer home near Gray
Gables and has often met Mr.. Cleveland at
BuzZard's Bay.
Mr.. OIney descends from a fighting"
Baptist family His ancestor implanted
the church in America, and other ancestors
hewed their way through colonial wars. He
is quiet and studious man and has given
his time almost increasingly to his profess
sion ever since he was admitted to the bar
and to law partnership with Judge Benja-
min T. Thomas in 1859. He was born in
Oxford, Mass, Sept. Is, 1885, and was grad
uated from Brown university in the class of
1856.
Mr.. Olney is married and has an elegant
residence on Commonwealth avenue in
Boston. Mrs. Olney is lady of fine pres
ence and of unusual intellectual attain
ments. AS she is charmer entertainer,
she is regarded as a desirable addition to
the cabinet circle. Both daughters of the
Olneys are married, and one is living in
Berlin.
The new attorney general is a man of
striking figure. He is feet tall and weighs
over 200 pounds. He speaks with great
force and deliberation, and socially is a
charming companion He is quiet and un-
affected. He is something of club man,
delights in his books and in works of art
and is fine classical scholar.
