Suffrage Rally at TT. Scott.

FIT. SCOTT, May 2S.-Woman suffrage
is evidently popular in Fit Scott if the
large audience packed into every avail
able seat in the court house be taken as
an indication. Mrs. Rachel L. Child and
Helen L. Kimber were the orators for
this meeting, and if they did not succeed
in changing the opinions of the oppo-
nents to suffrage, they did at least give
a remarkable exposition of what women
can do

OTHER STATE NEWS.
The Leavenworth Bridge Com
pany Sued for $4,000.

WICHITA, May 2S.-A Beacon reporter
called at the Lease house to inquire
about the condition of Mrs. Lease.
Charles L. Lease met the reporter at the
door and it was plainly seen that he was
in greaftrouble.
Mrs. Lease is a very sick woman" he
said, while the tears came to his eyes.
II only wish she could have got home,
but know she has all the care possible.
Here is a letter l received yesterday
from her private secretary, stating that
her doctor said she was better.
81 hope she will recover soon. but l
am greatly concerned for her. Her dis
ease is infiammatory and sciatic rheuma-
tism and she has suffered intensely. She
has been compelled to take opiates to
ease the pain, but l am not alarmed on
that account. Her letter yesterday stat
ed that pus was forming in the palm of
one hand. So you see she is very sick
woman"
Then Mr.. Lease looked out the door
sorrowfully toward the children and
added: "The last letter [ received from
my wife was several days ago and was
written with her left hand, her right
hand then being useless. Since that
time have received letters written by
her secretary and attendants"
Mr.. Lease spoke of the probability of
his going to the bedside of his sick wife
and then walked to the secretary and
LOOK OUT a lcLl0E WHICH he SdlQ was from
friend warning him to look out for his
home. He then read another anonymous
letter in which he was told that his home
would be burned.
Now, you see," he said, "that | would
not trust any one to guard my little chill
dren here. l would all the time be afraid
that they would be burned to death in
the house. / will go to my wife, if she
is not reported better, and take the
children with me and let the house take
its chances. l expect to hear this even
ing from Mrs. Lease and | most sincere
ly hope and believe the word will come
that she is improving.
EtWe are still getting those anonymous
threatening letters. They may be writ
ten by an insane person, and if they are
there is all the more danger. have
sometimes thought they were written by
some vicious person with the intent of
alarming Mrs. Lease and all of US. If
that is the intent the writer has certainly
succeeded in annoying US exceedingly"

GIVEN A NEW TRIAL.
The Lawyer Referred to tho Fact THAI
Lang's Wife Didn't Testify.

ABILENE, May 2S.-Loyd Lang, who
was this week found guilty of man
slaughter in the fourth degree, has
been granted new trial upon
the motion of his attorneys. While
making the opening address to the jury
j. III. Mahan referred to the fact that his
wife did not testify in his behalf.
The statute provides that the prOsecu-
ton should not refer to the defendant
not going on the stand nor the defend
ants wife not going on the stand, neither
being compelled to testify in a criminal
case of this character. Upon these
grounds the verdict was set aside and a
new trial granted. 1t will come up next
term and the defendant is put under
$4,000 bond for appearance.

Acquainted with the Romanofrs.

Ex-Secretary of State Foster was the only
unofficial gnest at the memorial services to
the late car at the Russian legation in
Washington. the honor being accorded to
hm because he had personally known Alex
ander III, having met him often while serv-
ing as United States minister to Russia in
1881 and 1882.
1t was at that time that Alexander II was
assassinated, and General Foster witnessed
the exciting scenes on that occasion and the
subsequent pomp and ceremony with which
the new czar assumed power. As the repre-
sentative of this country General Foster took
part in the funeral rites of the dead czar,
and the festivities incident to the accession
of the new ruler. On these and later occa-
sions General Foster met Alexander III, and
he frequently alluded 10 his friendship and
admiration for America.
Nicholas. the present czar, was then a boy
of 13, and being the second son, was not re-
garded as the heir, although the fatal i'll
ness of his older brother afterwards led the
latter to renounce his inher tance. General
Foster says the feeling of great friendship
Tor America expressed by Alexander is shared
throughout Russia from the highest down to
the hum blest peasant.

They viii Do one or the other.

From Kansas City, Kan, comes this:
Police Judge S. S. King, of this city, at
tended conference of populist leaders in
Topeka. He stated that il Is possible that
Governor Lewelling and the senate would
cause the new administration considerable
trouble in regard to appointments. He
claims that there are about fifty or sixty
appointive offices to be filled before Janu-
ary l, and with the senate to assist him
he could fill each place and have them
confirmed before his term of Office expired.
thus depriving the incoming administration
of any chance to reward its friends.
The conference held last week was to
devise plans for the above action. The
populists expect to be able to hold the
offices for a year at least as under the
law it takes cause to threw a man out of
Office.
And the Capital on the very next morning
has this:
1t is rumored that there is movement on
foot to have all the populsts who hold ap-
pointive offices TO resign on Monday, Janu-
ary 14-the day of Major Morrill's lnaugu-
ration. 1t is said that Bank Commissioner
John w. Breidenthal, Insurance Commits
sioner s. II. Sni6er and other men of infiu-
ence in the reform" party are in favor of
the movement. They are of the opinion
that it would be better for all of them to
step aside, permitting the victors to take
the spoils at once. The estate house appointees
are ready to quit. A paper will be presented
to every man, woman and child on the pay
roll with view of securing unanimlty of
action.

creased. The deficiency for the fiscal year
of 1888 was So. .O86, ,763, while the deficiency
for 1894 is $9,243, 935. The decrease of re-
ceipts was 1916. .434 and the increase of ex-
penditures $3.50. 400. The total expendi-
lures for 1894 are 4.244, Ala and receipts
S75,080,4 ,479. The department suffered losses
amounting to $63,882 by outstanding bad
debts and compromises with debtors. The
difference will be made up by appropria-
tons.
There were issued during the time the Or
der in force 2,014, ,233 100 Colum bian
stamps. OF these /, ,464, 58S. $50 were 2 cent

The transfer of stamp printing from the

declared that. notwth standing the COM
plants made of the character of the stamps
issued by the bureau, it has been successful

The act of July 16, 1894. allowed admis-
sion to the mails as second class matter pub
lications of benevolent and charitable asso-
Citations, mostly secret society publications
Since that act forty-SiX publications hereto
fore excluded have been admitted to the
mails, whose annual aggregate circulation
weight of this matter is bout 640, 900 pounds.
He says: MANY of these publications are
purely advertising sheets or circulars, but as
they conform to the law, they cannot be ex-
cluded.''
The report recommends legislation to pro-
tect the postmarking stamp in use at post
offices, as the stamp is now being used for
unlawful purposes.
Of the abuse of the franking privilege the
report says:
'There is no penalty attached to the mis-
use of the franking privilege. hence no ac-
ton can be taken by me further than to call
the attention of the mem berS to the matter.
LAS this department is required to carry
without l cent of revenue, hundreds of tons
of franked matter, additional limitations
should be placed the use of the frank, or
penalty of some kind i'm posed for its unlaw-
full use, and | respectfully suggest that the
attention of congress be called to this mat
ter for such action as it should deem proper"

Injunction Proceedings.

Injunction proceedings we're commenced
in the district court of Shawnee county to
prevent Dr. H. A. Dykes, secretary of the
state board of health, from getting posses
sion of the celebr ted $4,000 balance of the
200 cholera fund.
At the last meeting of the state executive
coun Gil DR.. Dykes presented his estimates
for the el penseS of his board for preventing
encroachments of cholera in the state. This
estimate called for the expenditure of all of
this 5000.
The executive council voted to allow the
estimates, but Governo or Lewelling and State
Treasurer Biddle voted against allowing this
estimate, as on former occasion.
When the state executive council has al
lowed the estimates of the state board of
health the law makes it the duty of the sta te
auditor TO issue the warrants so that the
money can be drawn from the state treasury
