Owners and State Assessors.

The Governor and Council will meet al
the executive department, today, at 10 A.
NJ, to clean up the years business and
grant hearing on the Whitney petition
for pardon from the State prison. Al
present there are 1853 inmates at the State
prison and only one sick man in the lot
The matter of insurance, which ha;
been agitated during the past few months
is not SO freely discussed now as it was
There has been some talk that there woult
be move brought before the Legislature
in regard to the matter of arranging in
surance rates. One insurance man say:
that there is no sense in trying to establish
any plan that will dictate to the insurance
companies that they shall have certain
rate other than they mutually agree to, nc
more than it would be feasible to say te
merchant, "You sell your goods al
such and such prices"
In some parts of the State there has
been considerable feeling in relation te
the establishing of school districts, and
slight trouble in some instances. The
chief fault found is that the scholars
would be obliged to travel too far. One
school official says that it seems to him
that people who have raised any objec
tions have done so to be contrary, as the
new law provides better school, superior
teacher and the distance has not, generally
speaking, been increased beyond the dis
tance which even the smallest pupil is
willing to travel.
1t is today at 10 O'Clock that the State
assessors will meet the owners of vessel
property and discuss the matter in refer
ence to taxation.
Ralph H. House, who has been attend
ing Colby University, will pass the holi-
days assisting his father, Major C. j.
House, in the bureau of labor and indus
trial statistics.
In the report of R. L. Chalk, State in
spector of factories, portion will be de
voted to the matter of fire escapes, and a
cut of a model escape will be provided
More fire escapes have been put upon the
high buildings in Maine this year thar
ever before.
There was womanNat the State House,
yesterday. canvassing for money. Hel
paper had heading stating that she had
been burned out of house and home in
Humboldt but did not state where this
place was. She said it was in Kansas.
The woman did not grow rich, as many
had suspicious that Maine was not the
place for Kansas woman to be begging
for living in this manner. There is a
suspicion that this is the same woman
who recently got subscriptions out OF
Brunswick tradesmen on the same plea,
and by representing to each trader she
approached that the other merchants on
the street, a falsehood, as it was after
wards discovered.

THEY PUT Up A JOB
NOW BELIEVED THAT THE HUME
WELL HOLD-UP WAS a JOKE.
Put Up Job TO Test the Nerve OF Hen
ry Huttmann-The Wellington
Mail Says That 1t Was Not
Genuine Robbery-Paddy
Shea IIsist That 1t Was.
"Were they held up?"
Tbof 10 tho ouoc,inp

"Were they held up?"
That is the question.
The allusion is. of course, to the alleged
| robbery of the four Wichita men. who
claimed that they were held mp and rob-
we'll and South Haven.
There is story in circulation tina. job
was put up on Henry Huffman by his
three companions in or order to test his
nerve. The Wellington Daily Mail is
authority for this statement, and AS the
Mail is published not far from the scene
of the alleged robbery it has ample oppor-
tunities of knowing the facts.
Paddy Shea, however, contradicts the
Mail, and still insists that daring, cold
blooded highway robbery was committed.
He says that 1t was no joke or job, but a
blood-curdiing outrage on four citizens of
the republic while they were peacefully
travelling along Uncle Sans highway.
Henry Schnitzler also still insists
on the genuineness of the robbery
and is willing to make an affidavit on all
the books of the American Bible society
that the robbery is no joke.
Appearances indicate. however, that the
story is pretty fishy, with all due respect
to the pugilistic Paddy and the corpulent
Henry.
In the first plac. Paddy still wears his
diamond pin. 1t is absurd to think that
il the two alleged robbers were actual
highwaymen that they would overlook
such a valuable piece of property as this.
They state that the robbers did not see
the pin. but this is equally absurd, for
Paddy's diamond is big enough to be seen
half milo either by day or night. 1t is
remarkable fact. also, that none of the
other gentlemen lost their gold
watches aud other jewelry. This is par
TALLY explained by saying that the robbers
wanted cash and cash only. This excuse
is a little lame.
Then. again, it has been stated by
South Haven man that when the wagon
arrived there the cOmmissary was in good
shape which is another proof of the allega-
ton that the highwaymen were not gem
uine knights of the road.
The Mail says that ir has authority to
state that no actual robbery was commit
ted, but that couple of men were en-
gagged to go through the act to give Henry
Huffman show to demonstrate his
nerve.

BOLDLY WEAR STOLEN CLOTHES.

Two young men were arrested by Officer
Sutton yesterday on the charge of bur-
glary and larceny. They were brothers
by the name of Alexson. They live on
North Park Place avenue. First John
was brought in with some other mans
overcoat on his back and later on Frank
with whole suit of stolen goods. These
young fellows were never before the police
court before aud are respectable looking
boys of about Is aud 20 years Of age.
Some days ago the residence Of J. L.
Campbell was entered and clothing and
other valuable things taken. Among
these was ring which the prisoners
claim they have lost. John said that Frank
was accustomed to wear it but while he
WAS washing his hands the other day he
laid it aside and then lost it.
They were detected by being seen by a
companion of the Campbell boys with the
stolen property on their backs. This boy
informed his friend that John Alexson
had the lost overcoat on. Young Mr..
Campbell told officer Sutton and he made
the arrest. The brother was then sus-
pected and when found was possessed OF
the suit of clothing.
Other burglaries have been made in that
part of town and it may be that they will
now cease.

TAKEN BY GENTLE STORM.
Delegation of The woman's Relief Corps
Captures the Eagle.

Women may, and no doubt do, respect
the men who advocate female suffrage,
but that they trust and are partial to the
men who oppose the scheme Of forcing her
into the additional responsibilities of the
ballot and the burthen of public life is
certainly true. 1t is not the editor who
declares that women must vote and bear
an equal share of political responsibilities.
but the editor who would not only shield
them from these but tighten her other
loads, whom ladies call on singly, in bevies
and by delegations, with approving smiles
and encouraging words. Who can imagine
a corps of twenty or thirty ladies going
twenty or thirty miles out of their way to
call on Colonel Dan Anthony or Major
Joe Hudson? Nobody. Ridiculously pre-
posterous Yesterday afternoon large
delegation of ladies who had been attend
ing the encampment at Newton, including
the president of the department, the senior
vice, the delegate to the National Relief
corps and other officers spent a half hour
in the editorial sanctum of the EAGLE,
saying many delightful things and
asking numberless interesting cues
tions. They all expressed themselves
delighted with their visit to Newton, prais-
ing the enterprise and generosity of the
people of that city. All were bright, in

DREW THE COLOR LINE,
A Queer Character Turned Up at the Carey
Las. Night.

"Can / have supper, sir!"
The speaker was tall. gaunt man who
wore dark faded clothes and long hail
that rolled down over his shoulders.
"Where is your baggage, sir!' said Joe
Carey, as he dipped the pen in the ink-well
preparatory to getting another signature
on the Carey hotel register.
'Got none," was the reply.
"You must pay in advance then"
Excuse me, young man, but you don't
comprehend me. l am broke and am
throwing myself on the hospitality of your

"Never. l am q gentleman, SRA gen.
tlemaD, and am not in the habit of re-
freshing myself at the kitchen"
The stranger then became abusive, and
Joe Carey turned him over to the tender
mercies of the colored porter with re-
quest to show him the door.
When the porter approached the long
haired ruin of better days, the
latter backed up against one of the Corin-
thean pillars Of the hotel corridor, stood
there like lion at bay and before his
fierce glance the colored porter recoiled
and retreated to the hotel Office for REIN
forcements. Joe Carey's spirit mounted
and he volunteered to dislodge the gentle
man himself. He made a right flank
movement, and before the seedy gentle
man knew what was up Mr.. Carey had the
mans shoulder in his vice like grip.

A fearful yell was heard in the rear OF
the hotel in about minute. Joe Carey
went around aud found his visitor de-
Tending himself with knife from the
assaults of the third cook who was making
a spirited assault on him with stick of
stove wood. He had accused the third
cook of being a low-bred Individual, be-
cause he didn't give him u silver knife
and fork to eat with.
The cook said that the fellow evidently
wanted to become too familiar with the
silverware.

1t is not often, in fact It is the first time
in the history of the Masonic grand lodge
of Kansas, that three gentlemen from the

1t is an evidence that the good people of
Kansas recognize the merit and worth of
the people of Wichita. They know that
they are no desdheads in any enterprise:
that on the contrary they are men OF
energy and enthusiasm and will work for
the interests and honor of those who re-
pose trust and confidence in them. When
seven gentlemen from the same city, in a

positions Of great trust and statewide
reputation it is a record that any city NAV
