KANSAS CITY. Mo, oct. o, 1894
John W. Breidenthal. Chairman. Topeka. kan.s
My DEAR SIR:=I have just read q
published statement from one Jacobs, of
Wichita, charging that money was CONE
tributed by the brewers in 1892 in return
for pledges Of protection in case of the
election Of the Popuiist state ticket
You may say for me that / never had
dozen words with Mr. Jacobs in my life,
never made a pledge or prom
ise of protection for the brew
ers or any other class of man, nor did I
even SO much as promise an appoint
nent prior to the election. If any money
was collected from the brewers on any-
body else upon any such pledge 70 was
done without my suggestion, consent or
approval and also without my knowl-
edge. Yours respectfully,
J.. u. LEWELIINO.

REED NOT COMING.
That Appears to BE the Proper Conclusion
to Reach.

to Reach.
Thomas b Reed, af Maine, is not like
ly to make any speeches in Kansas this
year, although the state central commit
tee has been advertising him as the big
"gun'' who is to close the Campaign.
The Chicago News a few days ago an
nounced that Tom Reed, who is now
staying in the Adirondacks for his health.
has consented TO make three speeches in
the west before election. The Chicago
papers were all jubilant over the fact
that one of the three speeches was to be
made in Chicago while Of the two one
was to be made at Indianapolis and the
third at either Minneapolis or st. Paul.
Secretary Bristow said today that in
recent letter from Reed he said he was
trying to arrange his affairs to make his
western trip, but that there we're some
difficulties IN the way which he hoped
to be able to overcome. Secretary BrIs-
tow said he understood that the chief
difficulty was his health.
If the statements Of the Chicago pa
pers are correct, Kansas people viii not
hear Thomas B. Reed this year.

ODD FELLOWS FIGHT ENDS
The Grand Lodge Ren0unces ali Claim to
the De BoissIere Property.

the De BoissIere Property.
WICHITA. Kans., Oct 1O-This morn5
ing the Odd Fellows state grand lodge
in session adopted the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved, That the grand lodge here
by rescinds all former action taken in
connection with. or pertaining to the De
Boissiere Orphans home, and that the
grand master and the grand secretary
convey by quit claim under seal Of this
grand lodge to l.. G. Slime, ct al, all in
acquired by virtue of deed made in
trust by Mr.. De Boissiere. The home
reverts to the trustees
This action of the Odd Fellows grand
lodge, while it is a complete back down
on the part of the friends of the home,
still shows that as fraternal organiza-
tion they prefer to give IN, rather than
break up their order
Judge Hazen, in the Shawnee county
district court, decided that the Kansas
Grand lodge had q right to levy per
capita tax 10 support this home, and The
s1prem court last Saturday affirmed
Judge Hazen's decision. In addition TO
this the Sovereign Grand lodge in ses-
sion at Louisville two weeks ago.
affirmed the previous action of the grand
lodge Of Kansas IN leyying per capita
tax.
When this question came up for dis
cussion at this session of the Kansas
grand lodge it was shown that number
Of the lodges in the state had absolutely
refused to pay the assessment for the sup
port of this home and had been suspend
ed from the order.
The objectors to the home say the rea-
son they object is because the home is
practically owned by five trustees who
are such only in name, and in reality the
Odd Fellows have little TO do with the
management of the institution.
The action of the grand lodge today
settles the trouble about the home.

tics to the Barber.
Now that you've finished shaving
me, how many strokes of the razor
did it require?" asked the man IN the
chair, as he Strengthened up to have
his hair combed-
That's pretty hard to tell said
the barber.
*'Of course it is. but you've been in
the business how long?"
Fifteen years
You ought to know by this time
about how many strokes of the razor
it requires to shave a man. supposing
that you go over his face a second
time
II might make a guess at it."
''All right. what's your guess2 Re-
member that I have hard beard?'
well, 1 should say about 1852
You're a good guesser, I don't
think Some time ago I got into the
habit of counting the strokes of the
razor every time I was being shaved.
It's a good way to employ your mind.
In shaving me you just made 732
strokes with the razor
Il wouldn't have believed it."
No man believes it until he takes
the trouble to count In my case
never knew the number to fall below
500, and it has gone more than 500 at
times. / call il a stroke every time
the razor is brought forward and then
drawn back I should Judge that
there are not less than 500 strokes N j

The Topeka WOman's Progress sive Political
Le que.


LIE que.
The interest in the Womsn's Progress
sive Political leFgue has not wRned since
the election. The women Of the Peoples
party have not lost faith in it's prinCi-
pies, because a temporary defeat has
overtsken the party. The settlement OF
campaign expenses shows that the
League has raised and expended in neces-
ssry work nearly $75, and We start anew
with money in the treasury.
A joint meeting OF the two leagues is
now in contemplation for the near fu-
ture.
The sentiment Of the lesRue is to make
it truly progressive organization, ss its
name implies. A committee has been
appointed to arrange a program for
each meeting. They have presented as
the subject for this month, "The Status
of Woman In the Past Civilization Of
Different Countries"
A good paper upon the women OF
ancient Greece and Rome was read at
the regular session, November q, by
Margaret r. Struble.
"The Women Of Egypt" is the sub
ieCt for the 29tb, and all members are
expected to come prepared to DISCUSS it
intelligently.
The following resolution was passed
on the 14tb, and ordered published:
WHEREAS, The result of the recent cleo
ton having dashed to the ground our hope
of a speedy solution of the labor question,
proving as it did that a majority Of the
voters Of Kansas do not yet understand the
real cause Of the distress and discomfort
which underly our whole social fabric; that
they are still controlled by party prejudice,
or clan blgotry, and
WHEREAS, It has also been proven By the
vote upon the suffrage amendment that
cry many Of our Populist brothers, have
yet to learn the first PRINCIPLES upon which
the Peoples party was founded, equal
rights TO sll--ihus requiring renewed labor
in their behalf; therefore beit
Resolved, That we members Of the
Woman's Progressive Political league dc
rebfRrm our faith in and allegiance to Che
graLd truths enunoisted in our platform
that although discouraged we know that itl
principles are as true as ever they were
that realizing more fully the mighty worh
to be accomplished if our country is saved
