Populist House at Topeka Knocked Out
by the Conrts-Repubitcan Victory.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1S.-Judge z. T.
Hazen, of the district court, this morn
ing sustained the motion of the Repub-
hcan House for a permanent injunction
restraining the state treasurer from pay
ing any warrants issued by authority Of
the legislative appropriation bill passed
by the Populist House. This is virtually
= recognition of the constitutional
lty Of the Republican House, and the
members are jubilant over the victory.
Attorney-General Little appeared foe
the state yesterday and fled motion for
the dismissal of the case on the ground
that, as the proceedings were instituted
by the county attorney in the name
of the state, they were instituted
without state authority. He alone
had authority to begin such
proceedings. The motion of the attor-
ney-general was overruled yesterday
and the injunction was to-day made per-
manent. The encouragement filed
notice of an appeal to the supreme
court. The Republicans were repre-
scented in the case by Chester I. Long,
David Overmyer and Representative
Carver. Judge w. c. Webb represented
the Populists.
An attempt was made by PopuIists
early this morning to take forcible pos
session Of the hall of representatives.
When the Republican House took q
recess yesterday afternoon until 10
o'clock this morning, they left the hall
in the charge of an armed force of assist
ant sergeants-at-erms. The compromise
by which peace was restored gave
the Republicans complete possession of
the hall. Nevertheless they deter
mined to take no chances of being sur
prised by any flank movement, and
THU y men, picked by the sergeant-at-
arms were armed with Winchester
rifles and instructed that no one be al
lowed to enter during the night. The
guards were distributed at the various
entrances of the hall, and there stood
guard with rifles over their shoulders.
At 2 O'Clock this morning thirty
men bearing passes from At
Unemployment Artz appeared at
the main entrance and demanded
persisted and the guards presented
their rifles. The attacking party were
not armed and fed. They tried the
other entrances to the hall, one after
another, but were met by armed guards
at each, and after much threatening and
buster, finally took their departure.
The attacking party was composed of
members of the Robinson Rifles, of
Lawrence. Their action had no sane
ton from the governor, the Populist
Senate or the Populist House.

Backbone.

There are certain animals that
have no backbone. They cannot
stand upright. The backbone en-
ables an animal to stand upright,
and the better back kbone it has the
better it stands. There is very
little use in standing upright even
so strongly if not of use to help
others in bearing some burden out
side of their own bodies. When q
burden comes on an animal that
has no backbone it crushes it.
When it has a good backbone it
strengthens it. We need not be
anxious about burdens coming on
those of good, strong principle, for
the very burden will make them
stronger, especially if they carry
the whole matter in prayer, to God.
Paul did this with his burden and
had Gods grace given him until
be could carry it. If you have a
backbone do not be be afraid of a
burden,
