TO PROSECUTE WILLIAM CUTCLIFF IN THE
 RECORDERS COURT.
 At the police court yesterday morning the cases against William Cutcliff for "volat- ing the election law' were first called by Alderman John Ward, acting as recorder in the absence of Recorder McCrossin.
 Mir. James E. Hawkins, attorney for Cutciiff, insisted upon trial, stating that Mir. Cutcliff, an honorable citizen, clothed with authority to register voters for the municipal election, had been charged in a drag net way with violating the law, and was ready now without specifications to be tried.
 On call for witnesses neither the arrest ing officer. complaining witness or others answered, and the case was one to properly be dismissed, but MT. Hawkins stated be would not ask for this. He thought there was some political significance in the in . ception of the prosecution and wanted the case passed to a future day. He wanted to ask the witnesses few questions and find out few things. The case was passed until Saturday.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Last night Mrs. Potter aud MT. Bellew closed their engagement at O'Brien 8 to q fashionable audience in "She Stoop5 to conquer.'' The play was entirely ifferent to the preceding ones aud was highly en- joyed. Mrs. Potter as Kate Hlrdcastie was decidedly more attractive than as Camille, though it could not be said that she made any improvement over her first appearance as Charlotte Corday.
 Yesterdays matinee was the largest of the season, the entire parquet and dress circle being packed to their utmost capacity and the gallery being fairly filled. The audience, mostly ladies, was q crltical one, and their manifestations of appreciation Il were marked and at times vcciierous. he stars were accorded several curtain calls.
 Mrs. Potter and MT. Bellew made very fay rable impression upon the theater- goers, and it Is sa fe to predict for them in future visits Iull and fashionable houses. They are both far above he average in their roles and give the characters they portray full justice.

Public Money for Sectarian Schools,

Congress in passing the appropria-
ton bill last week again distributed a
large amount for various religious
sects to be used in Indian education.
The dangers surrounding this demon
national educational work have
suggested themselves to some Of the
church organizations and they have
passed at their general conferences
and assemblies at various times
resolutions condemning the practice.
The appropriations Of the public
money for denominational education
al work which have been made for
the past eight years exceed three and
a half millions Of dollars. We give
the following figures to show the
amounts appropriated last year for
sectarian Indian schools and the
total for the past eight years:

Poor Kelly.

Populism seems to have been II. B.
Kelly's last chance. A member OF she
Republican State central committee
says.
when the rumor was first circu-
lated that Kelly had become a Popu-
list he had a conversation with a
prominent Republican. He said that
he was a Republican but that he had
some obligations which must be met
and that he had to provide for his
family. He said that this would re-
quire about $3.50 a month and that il
he was guaranteed that amount he
would enter the campaign for the
Republicans. He also said that he
had received many inducements from
the Populists and that they promised
to make him United States senator II
he would come out openly for their
party" Kelly is said to have also
offered his services to the Democrats
but they did not want him. The
Pops, however, concluded to hire him
and so he Topped in that direction.
Great ACQUISITION is Kelly!

dwellings Withdrawal Demanded

The Initiative and Referendum club
Of Topeka, composed Of Populists and
with large and increasing member
ship, Monday night adopted these
resolutions unanimously;
WHEREAS. II is well known that
the police departments of the cities of
the ilrst-class, under the direct con-
troll of Governor Leweling, are Or
ganized to protect and encourage
saloons, joints, dives and disorderly
houses and 1t is also believed by the
residents of said cities that such en-
enlargement Is given in order that
those In authority may levy tribute
upon those in charge Of such dives for
their own personal gain, in absolute
disregard Of the laws of the State and
public decency and morality, and
again as an evidence Of such general
belief we cite the letter of Associate
Justice Allen 10 Lieutenant Governor
Daniels; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Populists Of
Shawnee county, in mass meeting as
sembled, that we demand that the
Populist State central committee be
called together, and that said COM
mittee take l.. D. Lewelling of Of
said ticket, and that they substitute
in his place some reputable man as
the candidate Of the Peoples Party
for governor.
The Populists are realizing that
they have fearful load to carry in
the boodling administration that has
disgraced Kansas for nearly two years.
They may be certain Of one thing;
II will Doodle no more after January
next for every member Of il will be
reiterated To Driyate life.

The Russian Thistle in Kansas.

The farmers in several of the north
ern counties Of Kansas are being not
a little disturbed by the appearancein
many localities of the hateful Russian
thistle which is making such inroads
upon the farms of the Dakotas and
for the determination of which an APP
preparation of 81, 100000 is now be-
fore congress. This weed is estimat-
ed as having done damage to the
extent of several million dollars in
the states named within the present
year. Considering that, with its
other characteristics, it is when full
grown genuine stumbling" weed,
and that an average plant natures
from 10000 to $4,000 seeds, the peo-
pie can scarcely be too vigilant and
active in preventing It's becoming es-
tablished.
With view to having farmers
early and fully advised as to this new
enemy the agricultural department is
having prepared an illustrated
bulletin giving full information as to
its character and how best to resist
Its encroaehments. These will be
sent to officials and others for distri-
button among the people in hopes of
effective work being done before the
plants ripen their seeds.
These bulletins will be free and all
in having this information
should apply to Secretary +. D.
Coburn, Topeka, for copy.

The Corn Question.

We have this sort Of weather the last days
OF July US regularly Us the months come
around, and there is always dry spell" at
this time Of the year. Every man with any
experience knows that corn in tassel by the
ath OF July Is an assured crop, and every main
who raises corn knows how long after plant
ing the tasseling time comes. Then why
don't he meet the conditlonsf- Kansas City
journal.
The Journals agricultural editor Is
daisy. Hehas solved offhand in
free and easy manner that must
excite admiration a problem that has
puzzled the best farmers Of the West
for two decades. How easy it is now
that we know it! So many days from
planting to tassel, dry weather at
such a date, subtract and you get the
planting time. 1t is just like
teachers examination question in
arithmetic.
" course it will be objected by
some farmers that at the given date
1t is in some years too cold and wet
to plant and the seed will rot in the
ground. Others will say that wind or
heavy rains after planting injured
the crop and it had to be replanted.
Away with such nonsense. Get out
your calendar and obey the Journals
advice. To be sure some one NAV
mention that it was not the early
planted corn this year that stood the
trying weather best but the late
variety which may yet mature some
grain. But the Journal editor from
his plush covered chair would sheer
at such an objection and point to
the calendar.
1t would be mighty interesting to
see the Journal man put on a pair Of
high boots and overalls and get ort
ona Dickinson county farm and try to
raise corn according to editorial
formulas. He would find out, which
is the fact, that the farmers Of Kansas
know pretty well how to raise corn
and wheat. What they need is more
rain, not more calendars. There is a
time to plant but it is regulated by
the season and condition of the soil,
not by the figures in the almanac or
spots on the sun.
