The Pioneer Press calls attention to
the fact that New York and Pennsyl-
yania did not show up very well in the
senate the other day in behalf of
honest money when their four votes
were either actually recorded or could
have been secured for the Bland bill,
while the ten votes from Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa, of the wild and woolly west were
cast solidly against the imitation
scheme.

Ills Head Level.

Mower County Transcript: Archbish.
OPP lreland'S head is level when he
says: when American citizens vote
their basis OF decision must be, not
the religion OF the candidate, but his
citizenship and his personal fitness
for office. To put in office man be-
cause he is a Protestant is wrong: to
put man in office because he is a Ro-
manist is wrong. The constitution
which gives the suffrage does not con-
slider mans religion, but a mans
honesty and ability"

THE Minneapolis Iribuen thinks the
senate would make a ten-strike with
the plain, common people, if it would
consent to an investigation of the
charges of stock jobbing. The Demo-
cratic reformerS who control the sem
ate are not up to any such kind of ten
strikes. The one which suits them
the best is the one they INDUCED in
with the sugar trust, and they never
will allow the public search light to
look in upon that.

YESTERDAY the Floyd boys were
sentenced to five years imprisonment
at Saltwater. 1t is understood that
their attorney will appeal their case.
1t is to be hoped that through the APP
peal justice will not miscarry, as from
the evidence presented at the trial it
looks as though the boys have simply
received the just penalty for their
miSdeedS.

THE Minneapolis Times says that as
yet the sugar trust has not put up a
stock board in the senate. The trust
probably has doubts of the Democratic
majority staying there long enough to
make it pay.

timer. receiver of the First National
bank of this city. fled suit yester-
day in the United States circuit court
at jefferson City for sass, 600 against
the directors of the suspended institu-
ton. The petition is of a sensational
nature and makes public for the first
time the alleged methods of President
Cyrus Newkirk and Cashier J. ).
Thompson, as we'll as those of the di-
rectors. in conducting the business Of
the bank.
J. C. Thompson, the cashier is a fu-
gitive in Mexico, and Cyrus Newlxirlx,
the president, is now residing in Cali
fornia- In a nutshell, it is charged
that the directors allowed Newkirk to
overdraw his account to the amount
of S1O1, OO0i and permitted Thompson
to gamble away ST., 900 in stocks,
wheat and real estate deals, besides
allowing insolvent parties without ser
curity to draw $50. 600 out of the
vaults. The receiver alleges that the
defendants as directors. during the
whole time between September 6,
1890, and May 4, 1894, utterly failed
and neglected to perform their duties
and failed to hold meetings of said
board of directors to look into and
after the affairs of the bank. They

HIS Friends Scout the Idea OF His Be-
ing of the Feminine Gender.
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo, Sept. "A
There are people here who incline to
the belief that Dr. 6. w. Fraker was
a woman. as Courtney swore he was,
and as John Foley said he was; but
on the other hand, his many friends
here scout the idea of his being Of
the feminine gender. and regard with
Indignation the publications which
assert that he was a woman. To sus-
tain their theory that he was man,
as he appeared and pretended to be,
they offer the following matter IN
proof:
First-They say that u. W. Burris,
who lives here and is of good reputes
has known DR.. Fraker for many years,
once accompanied him to St. Louis
where the doctor submitted to an OPP
Grafton for stone in the bladder; that
he waited on the doctor at the hos
pital for two weeks, and had every
opportunity during that time to OBJ
serve that he was a natural man. He
is confident that he could not have
Fraker, and he pronOunces him a
male of the human species" He
regards as a basel ess fabrication all
the stories that change the sex of the
doctor and make a woman of him 1t
is related by BurriS that DIR. Eraker
read the Bible a great deal and prayed
in public and private He said his
prayers just before the surgeon Oper-
ated on him.
Second-The friends of DIR. Fraker
further say that three men who have
frequently bathed him and have criti-
cally observed him. most emphatically
assert that the doctor was a man

CHICAGO, Sept. L. The Chicago
board Of education, after a some what
tempestuous discussion, voted to
abandon the old slantinp system Of
penmanship and to introduce into the
Chicago schools the vertical system
The board introduced another inno-
vation, the bath tub as a factor in
education A part of the basement
Of the Jones school. corner of Harri-
street and Plymouth place, will be
fitted mp with bath tubs, and the
same will be done with the basement
of the Washburn school, Fourteenth
street near Desplaines.
The officers, it is stated, are con-
stantly finding children whose physi-
cal condition makes it undesirable to
have them thrust into the school
Then, too, there are other pupils
whose parents do not appear to pos
sess due appreciation of what the
proper degree of cleanliness is, so,
henceforth in the schools, at least,
dirty boys will receive a scrubbing
under the supervision of the school
janitor, and the girls who look
as though bath would inn
prove their appearance will be
taken in charge of by the
women who are employed as assist
ant janitors. The board deemed it as
esse initial that children should be
taught the value of soap and water

The plan to supply the schools with
