II is SAID that this congress win change
the form of large number of appropri-
alton bills from permanent to annual APP
preparations. The object is to give con-
gress absolute charge of all appropri-
ations, with view to effecting saving
wherever possible. 1t is further said
that the House, at the regular session,
will dispose of all appropriation bills be-
fore June 80, 1894. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the permanent appropri-
ations to be changed viii be those for the
more important public works, where the
efficiency of and economy in the work de-
mands a certainty, and not probability,
upon which to proceed.

If Gov. Waite should conclude shortly
that the time had arrived for him to set
out on his blood-wading crusade against
the east he could not depend upon the
Kansas military to aid him For the army
OF Kansas is ''in the soup temporarily:
it is without a competent head. Adiu-
tant-General w j. V. Deacon is in bed
covered with arnica courtplaster and
with a head full Of aches as q result Of his
latest military efforts. The other day he
went down to Wichita to review the
troops and set them in good trim to shoot
republican legislators next winter. He
had never reviewed troops before, but in
asmuch as he had a mortgage on his farm
and hated the monopolistic east, Gov
Lewelling had confidence in him. Arriv-
ing 81 Wichita the gallant officer buckled
on his sword and started to the parade
ground. On the way he encountered a
drug store-they call them dispensaries in
South Carolina and we call them bar
rooms IN Georgia-and went in ito see a
man" Further along he ran across other
urug stores and other men until he was
glorious With His sword tangled with
his legs he plunged among the militiamen.
lnIhcting grievous Commissions and bruises
upon himself and others. And when he
came To mount he did not stop at the
saddle at all, but kept on over the horse
and smote the earth with his nose.
1ht1ee did he essay to mount, with SINH
lar results; then they took him of on a
stretcher and the review was abandoned.
Thus, for the time, the east is safe.

The campaign in Kansas for the
woman's suffrage amendment to the con
stitution will be begun during the latter
part of this week. The first boom will be
let of at big equal suffrage mass meet
ing at Kansas City, Kan, just across the
river from the Kansas City in Missouri
Among the speakers will be Susan B.
Anthony, Helen M. Cougar, Mary E.
Lease and other women of almost equal
notoriety, together with a few men. The
leaders of the movement say they are
going to make the greatest crusade for
woman's emancipation and enfranchise-
ment that has ever been made in this or
any other country. 1t is pretty safe to
say that the campaign will be lively; all
Kansas political fights are.

Sufficient money was raised to start the
frst free kindergarten, and Miss Mary
Katharine Young was chosen its principal.
It was located In one of the worst parts of
First avenue, and for few days it's gentle
teacher and her assistants had the toughest
time ever experienced by educators in q
well organized city.
with no powerful school board back Of
them and no city ordinances to protect
them as,to the attendance of their pupils,
these courageous young women continued
bravely at work, and before two months
had passed were ihstrueting daily from 80
to 100 poor children, all under I've years old.
The children ara taught to play quietly,
to sew, to cook and TO keep house. A
piano Is in every school, and the teachers
are always supplied with food for the little
tots who may come to lessons hungry.
Every Christmas Mrs. Cleveland sends a
Christmas trhe ito Miss YounE's kinder
garten and literally supplies it with dolls
and toys for the girls and fannels, shoes,
etc, for the parents of the children. On
Christu1sss d1y she Visits the school and
takes part in the exercises.
Last summer Miss Young was chosen
by Mr.. Glider to- be his representative at
the meeting of Kindergarten associations
held in Denver She was one Of the prin-
cipal essayists on thit occasion.
In Che December Century Miss Young
writes about kindergarten work. She il
devoting all her time, hef energies and
her thoughts to the task Of educating the
children of the poor.
Miss Young is very charming woman
Although yet In her early twenties, she is
thoughtful and accomplished. She has q
sweet voice, cultured manners and is OF
ways gentle and digniiied. She is gener
ously inclined and SO fortunately situated
IN regard to the goods of this world that

are dumfounded and say something
about the few wool growers who
