Dissatisfied Men.

Nineteen men brought on from Phila-
delphia to take the places of strikers at
Topeka, decided that they had been de-
ceived and asked General Manager
Frey to furnish them return tranSpor-
tation. The governor and other state
officers joined them in making the re-
quest, which was refused by the gen
eral manager. The latter in letter to
the governor said that these men ARE
all able bodied, strong and healthy and
can have work at good wages and that
he does not consider them proper sub
jects for charity"

Chairman Breidenthal, of the peoples

80 per cent. of the replies to his letters
to county committees asking for the
sentiment of the populists on an extra

it. He says he sent out the inquiries
to test the feeling, and that unless it is
shown that q majority of the people
want an extra session it will not be

KANSAS STATE NEWS,

Bringing Insurance Companies to Time
In reply to an inquiry from the super
intendent of insurance Assistant Attor-
ney-General Allen has written an opln-
ion in which he holds that as the su-
perintendent of insurance is charged
with the execution of all laws bearing
upon insurance business, it is his duty
to ascertain if a combine has been
effected and if one exists the licenses
of such companies as are parties to the
combines should be revoked. The at
torney-general says that agents OF for
eign insurance companies are under
instruction of the principals, and have
but little to do with controlling rates
and the principals should be dealt with,
and he declares it as much the duty Of
the superintendent OF insurance TO en-
force this law against foreign or non
resident insurance companies as it is to
enforce any other law upon the statute
books relating to insurance or insur'
ance companies.

WALLS OF A DEN.

II You want to make den and have
1t very effective you can by treating
1t somewhat after this manner: Cover
the walls with a sort Of dull green,
with design in the same shade as tho
groundwork. Draw the material tightly
over the walls and carry it out ON to
the ceiling fer about two feet, covering
the cornice and leaving only the center
OF the ceiling exposed. Over this CEN
ter place square of Indian embroidery:
which must be edged with cord, with
loops of the same, at intervals of about
Is inches, and corresponding to these
loops there should be placed screw
eyes, through which and the loops on
the embroideries cord has been
passed. By such cords the square is
stretched almost fiat, producing an eff
feet similar to binding a sail to the
boom. OF course one would not need
large room for a den, and the Elk
pense Of treating wall in this way
would not be very great, and, lastly
it would be novel, and there is, 1 be-
ieve, a desire with most of us to find
something unlike our neighbors, to
make our house law unto itself.

Ibeing of civhity in England, and he
can never get accustomed to the Gus
toms. The last feat OF a French sta
tfonplaster has been to decide that an
article Of luggage placed on the seat
does not keep your place in railway
carriage. This to persons travelling
alone, and who have nobody to keep
their place for them, must be indeed
delightful. In England this right is
never questioned, though In some In
stances 1t is abused.
ut is recorded of Al certain hair
splitting bishop who was accustomed
to compose his charges in the train,
and whose desk was always placed
opposite to him, that he invariably
treated 1t as though 1t were a living

Among the novel societies incorpor-

for the Protection of Non Smokers"
in lower Austria. The members, al
ready numerous, propose no campaign
against smokers, but they intend to
accomplish, if possible, the strict en-
forcement of the regulations regarding
the prohibition of smoking in certain
railroad tram compartments, public
buildings, restaurants frequented by
men and women, street cars, concert
halls, and other places of public anuse-
ment. They wish to prevent smoking,
if possible, in all public places. Circu-
lars are to be sent to observation-disclosures
asking that rooms be set apart for non
smokers. Branches of the society are
to be established in Vienna, Prague,

What cards are these to-day2. ..-se.s
A wedding and three teas,
Two luncheons and a dinner,
Ones hunger to appease.
It's strange how every one who seeks
. To give us some delight
Is sure to think ne quickest way
Is through our appetite. !.
Those tears are always stupid things.
Good afternoon, Miss Brown!
The music? Yes, delightful, but
Just look at that old gown! .
Miss Littleton must surely have
A new one pretty soon;
I've seen her wear that horrid thing
Since early in last June"
The dinners-Wel, there'u be the men,
They always seem to add
A sort of SAVIOR to the meal,
Which really is not bad,
Unless by some most cruel fate
You're coupled with some bore
Who tells you everything you've heard
A week or two before.
The wedding-yes, there is a chance
OF seeing something new
That is, if one can only get
The aisle seat in the pew.
The bride, well, she was always thought
The best dressed in the room,
But she has chosen such very
Unbecoming groom!

HAVE A COMFORTABLE SPARE
ROOM.

, 1t is no longer sufficient to have a
spare room" in which to give shelter
to a guest. If we would be credited
with really hospitable instincts, and
desire to pose before our world-no
matter how small corner of the
round earth it may occupy-as keeping
in harmony with modern thought and
ways of doing things, our guest room
must be more than Il place in which
to sleep and dress; so says the Com
merclal Advertiser. 1T should invite to
rest and repose and pleasant musings,
at any and all hours of the day; for
Its occupant is a person of leisure,
avdwedly admitted FOR the purpose
of leisure, often indeed rest and recu-
peration- If space permit there should
be 4 comfortable couch inviting to rest
fun Longing; for many a considerable
guest will sit UP all day rather than
disturb the order and state, which has
almost Il touch-me-nOt air, of her host
ess' show bed. Make Il place for a
ftsw standard books-volumes of
Holmes, Lowell, Whittier, Longfellow
and Tennyson, and the last new novel
or some new magazines. Be sure to
have writing materials in some con-
venient place. and a work basket with
white threads, black sewing silk, scis-
sOrS, thimbld and needles. With these
resources at her command, no guest will
be dependent every moment upon her
hostess for entertainment.
The furnishing of no room, least of
all the guest room, should be hap
hazard Buy nothing for the room be-
cause it is simply pretty in itself, but
consider the perfect harmony of the
whole. A little thought and planning
will secure most delightful results. A
development of the Old color schemes
which give us blud, pink and green
rooms, is the very charming fancp of
choosing Il flower for the decoration
and color of Il room. This can he car
ried with more or less elaborate de-
tail, according to the taste and time
of the designer.

1t Seems to Bring Thieves to Mend
Their Ways.

Kansas City Jotlrnal:-"I had an eX-
perience 4 few days ago that made
deep impression on me, and that l
shall not soon forget" remarked Judge
d. D. Hoag, of the ''L' road, yester-
day, when asked if he had any news
for the Journal readers. Il had often
read of such affairs, but mono had ever
come under my notice before, and l
was very much pleased to know that
such cases We're not imaginary" he
continued
home to lunch my wife told me that q
man had been there to see me; that
he was very much interested in seeing
me on very important matters and that
he would return during the afternoon
and look me up. l wondered what the
strangers important business was, and
several times during the afternoon !
thought Of it. About 4 o'clock n tall
gentleman walked into the general
office, and as / looked UP he spoke and
called me by name.
There was Il serious look on his face
and I felt sure he was the man Of
whom my wife had spoken. There
were several gentlemen in the office
and when he spoke to me he added
that he wished to see me privately.
"a moment later we were in the
private office, where / told him / was
ready to hear what he had to say. !
had suspected it would be Of interest,
but had not suspected the novel nature.
He told me he was from Oklahoma,
where he had lived since the land was
opened for settlement, and then added
that while living out toward Chelsea
park in the spring of 1887, when we
, We're fencing the Il road, that he
stole a spool of wire from the COM
pany and used it for fencing his lot.
1t was the first thing he had ever
stolen and the memory of it had been
source of no end of trouble, and so
a few months ago. when he was con
| verified at a big revival dov in Okla
| homa. he remembered the wire he stole
| six years ago and he determined to
make all the amends ia his power and
pay for it with the first money he
could raise.
| HE had some hogs and when they
were ready for market he arranged
with the shipper to come with the
stock to the city. He had sold the
hogs and had his share of the money
and at once set out to hunt me up and
pay that old bill. He said there were
112 pounds of wire, and as he finished
| the story he asked me how much it
| was worth. / telephoned q hardware
house and learned the price Of plain
wire and also of the best grade of wire
and told him I would accept the price
of the cheapest. To this he objected,
saying the wire he took was the best
and he wanted to pay the price. ] told
him I would lump the bill off at 100
! pounds and he paid the bill. He then
grasped my hand and said he felt
that he was pretty nearly a square
man, but he had one other matter.
He ha1 taken a half barrel of lime
that belonged to a neighbor and he
was going out to pay for that. With
that paid for he would be square and
then he could go back to Oklahoma
feeling like an honest man and know
that he had done all in his power to
square the wrongs he had committed.
with this remark he left the office
and I haven't seen him since. ! have
thought Of it many time and there
