An Attempt Made to Blow Up an In
dianapOlis Newspaper.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 13.-An
attempt was made to blow up the
office of the Ironclad Age, an infdel
paper, published at So Indiana avenue,
in this city Saturday night by turning
on the gas. The expected explosion
was prevented, however, by the ar
rival of the editor of the paper, who
discovered the condition of affairs
and opened the doors and turned out
the gas. The paper is very bold in its
denunciatiOn of all forms of Christian
religion, and it is believed that the
attempt to blow it up was made
because of the bold stand it has taken
in the matter.

LEGISLATIVE CLOCKS STOPPED.
Utah Statesmen Take a Novel Method OF
Completing Their Work.


SALT LAKE, Utah, March 13.-The
Utah legislature desecrated the Sab
bath by remaining in regular session
throughout the entire day.
The regular session expired by
statutory legislation last Thursday
but the members stopped the clock in
each house at 11:2O and posted pla-
card over the face of the time piece on
which were the words: Thursday,
March g." A recess was taken at night
instead of an adjournment and the
present legislative day has now lasted
nearly ninety-six hours. Almost the
entire sixty days of the session was
wasted in partisan wrangling, leav-
ing really important legislation to be
crowded through after the legal
expiration of the session.

THE MRS. KENSMANN MURDER.
The Husband Held Without Bail, Charged
With the Crime.

With the Crime.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March ia
warrant charging Deidrich Kensmann
with the deliberate murder of his wife
Johanna, was sworn out before Justice
Worthen this morning by Police De-
tective Ennis. Kennsman was ar
raigned, pleaded not guilty and was
committed to Jail without bail to
await hearing. 1t is charged that
he did deliberately, willfully and with
malice aforethought, beat, strike,
choke and strangle his wife until she
was dead.
Chief Speers is confident that Kens-
mann killed his wife that he might
recover the insurance on her life, and
that his mistress, Theodore Hoffman,,
who was arrested Saturday, knows
something of the matter, even if she
did not actually help in the deed. For
this reason no warrant has yet been
applied for against her, as the chief
wants,if possible to learn more of her
history and if possible get a state
ment from her.

MAJOR COLES CHRISTMAS
Nothing Stops the wo ( tile Lord With tn
M:j nr.

Christmas festivities shnt I'D many of
the stores yesterday and the falling
snow threatened 20 stop electric cars
but nothing stopped the work of the
Lord under the leadership of Major
Cole. There were conversions in both
the morning and evening services. The
head line said yesterday that Major
Cole converted many to Christ. He
claims no such power. 1t is God who
does the work. The Evangelist is His
instrument. Some one once said to
Mr.. Moody as he pointed to man in the
gutter, There is one of your converts"
Yes" was the response, He is evil
IDENTIFY not one of the Lords" Mems
converts usually backslide. 1t is not
the work Of man which is being done
in Wichita.
At the morning meeting there We're
several travelling and railroad men who
happened to be in the city over Christ
mas. They spoke of some of the diff
culties of leading christian life on the
road. Twenty-Five per cent of the
drummers are christians; many carry
their bibles with them. A man can be a
christian and work on the railroad.
These were some of the remarks made
by those who know. The snow had be-
gan to fall before the close of the morn
ing meeting and fell steadily until after
the hour for the evening service.
Those who bTaved the evening storm
were wei repaid for their trouble. The
theme for the evening was found in
Phil. iv 10 My God Shall Supply all
Your Need" Short testimonies were
given by the pastors and Rev. Colt
closed the service with brief exorta-
ton.
The meeting this morning will be i'm
the Congregational church, instead of
the auditorium as announced yesterday

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
"INCOG {"

"Incog," that most successful OF ali
modern comedies. which will be pre-
scented by Mr.. Dickson and his COM
pany of players at the Crawford Grand
on Saturday, December 90. was written
Ex-Governor Romualdo Pacheo, who
formerly was in congress, and until her
lovely daughter, Miss Mabel Facheo,
grew to maidenhood, the lady was con-
sidered the belle of the state Of Cali
fornia She is extremely witty. and wit
is a gift that has not always attended
beauty; but she has never written for
the newspapers and the fact that she
has produced play will be a matter of
surprise to thoSd who have not been in
the secret MrsI Pacheo is a lady who
has read many books, and talked clev-
erly to all the wise men of the nation.
She has dropped some of them into her
play, and as the play shows, very sue
cessfully. During her life in Washing
ton she saw much of political life. and
was as popular there as she had al
ways been I'm California. Six years ago
she accompanied her husband TO Mex
leo, and remained at the capitol two
years It is said she began the play,
which she has just brought our, dur
ing her stay n the southern republic.
Many will have the curiosity 70 see
play written by a native Californian.
II has made a very strong impression
wherever presented, and being given
by a strong company. it should play to
crowded houses during its engagement.

RUsTLING REQUIRED TO SEND OTTO
TO THE LEGISLATURE
Strong, Popular and Has Eosts Of
Friends, But He May DO the Vic
tim OF Over-Confideuce-Pops Are
husiling Like Fury in Hopes Of
Gaining q Point.

The special election to fill the va
cancy in the Sixty-seventh represen-
tative district caused by the death OF
Major Lawrence will be held today.
1t is necessary for every Republican
in the district to go to the polls and il
is especially necessary for every voter
in the First and Sixth wards to be
there.
AS stated once before the Populists
viii make a hard fight to recapture the
district. Monday riders on horseback
went all through the country urging
Populist voters to turn out and at the
same time telling Republicans that
Mr.. Ecksteins election was sure SO as
to make them feel so confident that
they would not feel like going to the
polls.
The present state administration is
helping the Pops to win the election
and if they succeed they will claim Ii
as PopuIist victory and thus partially
prop UP their falling fortunes.
Admitting that there is no danger OF
Mr. Ecksteins defeat on account Of the
indifference or rather oyerconfidence OF
Republican voters, il is nevertheless
the duty of voters who are loyal to
Wichita and their clever and bright
young standard bearer to get to the
polls and vote and work like beavers to
get their fellow Republicans and
friendly Democrats, who are many, to
do the same.
This city will have the advantage Of
being the first political battle ground
of the state since the recent land slide.
Wichita is a rising young city with
plenty OF ambition both in a political
as well as a material sense. 1t would,
then, be a great thing If she would in
crease her Republican majority and in
crease it big. 1t would choke off the
jealous sections who falsely claim that
the Republicans of Wichita are not
loyal to their party and party princt-
pies. An immense majority today
would be great thing from this stand
point if from no other.
Then again Republicans should do a
nice thing for thir candidate. II they
send him up with q nicely increased
majority it will give him that much
more prestige in the house of represen-
tatives and everybody who knows Otto
Eckstein knows that his constituents
will y.,e the beneficiaries Of that pres
tige. What a great thing it would be
for Wichita and for him if he would be
elected by 500 majority. Let 1T be the
and it can be done in spite of the Pop
ulist schemes, for Otto is a young man
who will draw largely from outside of
his own party.
Keep one thing. however, in your
mind, and that is TO see that ever. Re
publican in the district votes.

A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE.

A number of the citizens of Wichita
and their wives planned a very nice
surprise for their children Christmas
eve. a Christmas tree was secured and
taken to the parlors of the Manhattan
hotel. The parents then loaded the tree
with presents for the little ones and at
seven o'clock the young folks We're
ushered into the parlor. Obs" and
''Mys" were heard when the tree was
discovered and the children were great
~ surprised. Mr.. George Bowen acted
as Santa Claus and made a great deal
of amusement for the surprised chill
dren. After two hours of pleasure the
company returned TO their homes salts
fed that the evening could not have
been more pleasantly spent.

lights and loaded with gifts. bags Of
candy, apples and popcorn. The faces
Of the children beamed with JOY and
cold and tattered clothes were forgot
ten at this glorious time. Each child
resolved a fine gift, box of candy, bag
Of popcorn and an apple. and great
many presents were sent to absent
children.
This is the right sort of charity aad
those who were instrumental in the
work received their reward when they
saw the happy faces that beamed from
every pew. The Unitarian Sunday
school deserves great credit for the
plan and its success.

In the awarding of prizes as follows:
First prize, s., Turner Sexton; second
prize, So, Tony Coleman and Harry
Bramlett; third prize, 81, tie between
c. Hardin and NJ. c. Tomax.
The contest it will be remembered,
was to set the most artistic table. Sex
tons table was a very beautiful ar
rangement OF flowers, mirrors and dish
es. In the center of the table was a
mirror IL by 20 inches in size. On this
was set beautiful large parlor lamp.
The edges Of the mirror. as we'll as the
sides and ends were daintily lined with
evergreen twigs and cut flowers in pref
ty vases coupled places at each end Of
the table. The table taking the second
prize had a parlor lamp in the center.
with a silver dinner set tastefully ar
ranged around 1t. At one end of the
table an old fashioned miniature log
cabin was set, looking somewhat out
Of place in the midst of all the beauty
of silverware and cut flowers. The
third prize table also had large lamp
and was decorated with smilax and cut
flowers.
The dining room which was decorat-
ed by George Edwards, the chief wait
er, was also pleasing to the eye. In the
center was a cage made Of evergreen
twigS, in which was a beautiful white
dove. Strands of evergreen twigs were
hung from the center of the room to
each corner and at the south end of the
dining room was a pyramid of palms.
Taken altogether the dining room was
very pleasing.
The prize winners are proud Of their
victories and think the honor is worth
a great deal more than the filthy lucre.

THE STORM.
Snow Fell Everywhere Throughout the South
west.

The snow storm Of yesterday was
general. It extended way down
through the western part of Oklahoma
and into the Panhandle Of Texas 1t
also extended as far west as Colorado.
1t was very heavy up about Larned,
six inches having fallen there before
noon. 1t delayed all the trains on the
main line and it is feared that if it
lasts much longer passenger traffic
will be seriously crippled. 1t was the
first snow of the season in this vicinity
and was welcomed by the farmers,
whose land needed moisture, even
though it put "a dampner on some of
the rural Christmas festivities. 1t is
still showing this morning and the in
dications are that many, as they go
out this morning will find it knee deep.
