The Latest Political News Con.
densed for Busy World Readers.

Kansas has lost her reputation for do
ing things decently and in order. On
the 10th two organizations were formed
In the house and Notwithstanding two
sets of officers the house of representa-
tives was the scene of bowling mob.
The republicans had 63 members who
held certificates from the canvassing
board, or clear majority, and proceeded
to organize the house, elect officers, etc.
The populists with only So members
withdrew to the other side of the hall and
also elected their officers. A pandemoni-
I'm ensued, members stood on chairs and
on their desks, yelling and cheering as
though they were wild. Both sides
camped in representative hall all night.
On the 11th by agreement of both sides
an adjournment was perfected. The re-
publican side elected George l.. Doug
las for speaker, Frank L. Brown for chief
clerk, ard John Q. Royce, sergeant. The
populists elected j. M. Dunsmore,
speaker, Ben G. Rich, chief clerk, l.. Alt
man, sergeant. The governor did not
recognize either side neither did the SEN
ate. Wilson afterwards affiliated with
the republicans giving them ga, the pop
ulists So and democrats who did not
take any part. The republicans have
majority of two over all. The only ques-
tion is, will the majority rule or shall
the minority, by force, control the lower
house.
Up to the hour of going to press there
has been no material change reported in
the situation at Topeka. A committee
endeavored to arbitrate but failed. 1t is
expected that the governor will recognize
the populist house and order the adju-
tant general to eject the republican body.
If this is done the republicans will con-
vene in another building. The fact of
the governors recognition does not legal
ize either house and the supreme
court will doubtless be the final arbiter
The democratic members have recogni-
zed the republican organization as the
legal one.

WHY CHRISTIAN WENT TO CHURCH.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg AppeaJ says: Everybody
in Richmond knows or has heard of Mr..
Carter w. Branch, banker and broke,
and Mr.. Z. D. Christian, tobacconist
amp capitalist. Both are shrewd IL
nancial standpoints Mr.. Christian re-
Gently got the better OF Mr.. Branch.
The former is not what Is termed
church-goer and recently Mr.. Branch
undertook to encourage him to go reg
ularly on Sundays to hear preaching.
He offered to give him two dollars for
each Sabbath he attended church if Mr..
Christian would pay him one dollar for
each time ne missed Mr. Christian ac-
cepted the conditions and he has been
to church every Sunday since the con-
tract was entered into. Mr.. Branch
has discovered that while he is paying
Mr.. Christian two dollars per week his
treasury is not growing by a dollar
from Mr.. Christians contributions, and
so he proposed to pay up up three
months in advance if Mr.. Christian will
release him from his promise to con,
,inue this arrangement indefinitely and
Mr. Christian will accept the PROPOSE
ton. A church that WAS made the
beneficiary of the agreement has re-
ceived nice little sum from Mr.
Christian.
