COMPROMISES PROPOSED.
Ehe Supreme Court Will Probably Settle
Y the Controversy.


TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 17.--The Populsts
have practically abandoned the field. The
crisis raised by Sheriff W'ilkerson calling
out a posse of a thousand men to defend
the Republican position is so critical one
and so filled with embarrassing difficulties
chat they decided not to meet it. At noon
yesterday the governor held conference
with the Populist house members and
various leaders of the party. The gov
ernor said that the militia could not be de-
pended upon to carry out his orders; that
the resistance of l25 men, composing the
force of deputy sergeants, and a hundred
provisional troops (all that could be de-
pended upon to stand loyal would be use
aess before the sheriff's posse of II thou
sand men. 1t was decided to hire q hall
down town for the populist house, and
there the meetings of the Populist house
will be held until difficulties are settled.
This action Is looked upon by some as a
"bluff, !" but it is generally regarded as the
logical outcome OF the sheriH's action in
Bsummoning his posse to support the Re-
kpubltcan position.
At $3.50 the governor sent an application
or peace to the Republican house. 1t

Old LiChtninr.

Old Lightning belonged to an ostrich
farm at San Diego and was magnificent
bird. He acquired his name from the rapid
ity with which ne could pluck lighted
cigar or pipe from visitors mouth or re-
move his watch or chain or any ornament
he could discover. The noiseless manner in
which he could steal up behind one and
then nip some personal property was re-
markable. He was a natural born thief.
Once he snatched all the flowers off a young
lady's hat. At another time he attempted
to swallow diamond earring, but as it
was fast in its owners ear he could not
manage it.
Old Lightning's greatest feat was swal-
lowing lighted meerschaum pipe which
he snatched from visitors mouth. The
keeper had seen him and caught him around
the neck, and the pipe was exhumed, the
tobacco still burning-Detroit Free Press.

All Big Stores on One Side of Street.

Doubtless there are reasons for the fact
that all the greet retail dry goods houses in
broadway are, with single exception, on
the west side Of the street. 1t can hardly
be that their location on the west side is
merely the result of chance or coincidence,
for the great establishments of the same
class in Sixth avenue are also on the west
side of the street. In other cities the same
thing may be observed. Nearly all great
retail establish ments front eastward, rare
ly to the west and still less frequently to
the north What is the reason? Can il be
due to superstition of trade, or is it the re-
suit OF some more practical consideration?
The most likely explanation is that mer
chants prefer stores fronting eastward on
account of the better light thus obtanable.

Gran merchant, that women do the more
important part of their buying before

me to wander about town and report to

into his sermons. For instance, a preacher
who has large congregation with much

cllned, visit all the public meetings, the re-
sorts of gamblers and drunkards, the fac
tories and the slums of the city
Il am the eyes through which he sees
these things, and using my information he
speaks learnedly and intelligibly of all
phases of life and sets his congregation
a-wondering where he gets time to see so
much. He is thus enabled to interest every
element IN his congregation, appearing to

as an enthusiast in athletics, to the musi-

Leeches as Weather Prnnhets.

Many country people in Italy, says a
traveller, foretell the weather by means of a
leech in an open mouthed bottle partly
filled with water. The water must be
changed once week and spoonful of
blood poured in it about as often. When
the weather is good, the leech will remain
coiled up at the bottom of the bottle.
Whenever rain is near at hand, it will creep
up to the top and stay there until the
weather is settled again. If wind is i'm
minent, it will be very restless and dart
about in the water as though in pain,
while before a thunderstorm it will appear
to be in commissions. 1t is so generally
trusted that at haying time and other sea-
sons when fine weather is important the
leech is one of the most useful members of
the household
