LOBDELL ron sPEAKER.
The Western Half of the state is solid for
Him. it is said.

The very latest story in state political
circles is that Charles +. Lobdell of Lane
county, is to be elected speaker of the
house without opposition.
Captain John Seaton who has been
grooming Col Alexander Warner Of
Cherokee county, as candidate for
speaker, was in Topeka yesterday and
before he left for home last night, il is
said, wrote a letter to Col. Warner, in :
form ing him that he had seen the hand
writing on the wall aud it said "Lobdell
viii be speaker"
According to the men who say they
know about this affair Captain Seaton
figured it out that 1.-The entire western
half of the state is solid for LobdelI. and
he is making gains every day in the
eastern half.
y. K Cubbison is a candidate, but
aside from the mem bers from Wyandotte
county, one has appeared at the
Copeland ready to make fight for him.
=. $. Benedict is candidate and has
the Neosho county delegation, but he
has not developed much strength in other
parts Of the state.
-. v. Beekman of Cowley county is a
candidate, but Ed Greer's candidacy for
speaker has interfered with his inter
ests"
After having considered all these
written to Colonel Warner aud advised
over.
The prediction is freely made that if
the Republican members Of the lower
house were to caucus on speaker tomor-

WASH. = 4, Feb. 7.-B. B. Bedle,
United ST, ,es consul Mt Sheffield, has
made a report upon the American wheat
and -four, trade in this district. The
flour mostly used there is known as the
xxx standard No American wheat
-four seems to come into the district,
For the year ending June 30, 1893,
100000 of American wheat were inn
ported from all parts of America; From
all other countries, 2,200,0 900. People
are prepared to use American -four pro-
vided they get good quality at IA low
price.
The United States consul ut Barran-
quila, United States of Color hia, thinks
most of the natives prefer their native
bread to that made from American
-four. No American wheat is ever i'm
ported. He thinks the lack of wheaton
bread eaters the principal obstacle to in
creasiug the trade. ...
James Viosea, consul at la Paz, says
native -four from the neighboring state
of Sonora, Mexico, and the northern part
of this territory is now used entirely.
The amount of.native Hour consumed is
from II to 25 tons per month. The inn
port duty is about 81. CT. per barrel. This
is prohibtory.
V. G. Penfeld, consul general at
Cairo, says Egypt produces a surplus of
breadstutfs and exports to Europe.

RIunders of Painters.

Tinoret, an Italian painter, in pic
ture of the Children of Israel" gather
ing mama, has taken the precaution to
arm them with the modern invention of
guns. Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at
the circumcision of the infant Saviour,
and as aged men in these days wear
spectacles the artist has shown his sagac-
lily by placing them on ,Simeon's nose.
In picture by Verrio of 'Christ Heal
ing the Sick" the lockers on are repre-
sented as standing with periwigs on their
heads. To match. or rather exceed,
this ludicrous representation, Durer has
painted 1.-THE, Expulsion Of Adam and
Eve From the Garden of Eden" by an
angel in dress fashionably trimmed
with fiounces. The same painter, in his
scene of "Peter Denying Christ. +" repre-
sents a Roman soldier very comfortably

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 7.-Representa-
tives of the American Railway union
will probably be in Omaha Thursday to
present to Judge Dundy petition signed
by 5000 employees of the Union Pacific,
protesting against the recent equaliza-
ton of wage schedule ordered by, the
circuit court of this district. Eugene
Debs, president of the union, has wired
local officials here that he will be in
Omaha Thursday, and it is expected
representatives of unions of the entire
system will be present to urge Judge
Dundy to withdraw the order granted
some days ago.
In this section the employees are little
affected by the order, but they are in
sympathy with their brethren of the
West, who are endeavoring to have
Judges Riner and Hallett refuse to
issue confrmatory orders regarding the
wage schedules.

He Was Satisfied.


The old boarder, after an experience Of
90 years or more, at last got into place
which seemed to him to be as near the
ideal as he cared about. When he had
been there week, he went one night to
a religious service, and one of the work
ers approached him.

question.

:though don't belong to the church"
"Ah, my friend, there is where you are
wrong"

"Don't you feel that you are sinner"
"Well, I'm not perfect, suppose"
"Don't you want to go to heaven"
The old boarder braced up.

he said, II should have answered yes
promptly, but now I'm in a boarding
house where they don't have stewed
ptunes, skimmiIk, hash, paralytio coffee,
dried apple pies, soiled napkins, tough
meat, a piano on each floor, gossiping
-boarders and a lot more discomforts, and
I'm afraid to ta e any risk in leaving it,"
and the worker gave him up as hopeless.

4 Contest Between House aud Som.
Over Public Lands Likely.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE action G.:
the house committee on public lands, iii
refusing to report favorably a bill sen,
over from the senate granting a certain
amount of the proceeds of the sales OF
public lands for the schools of mines,
will probably be the beginning of con-
test between the house and senate in the
matter of land legislation. The senate
committee on public lands is made up
of Western men. In the house there
are q great many Western men
on the committee, but they do
not come from the mining states.
nor from those states where
the great bulk of public lands are now
located. There have been several
measures presented by these senators
und approved by the senate committee,
which will probably not receive favor
able consideration by the house. The
scheme of the senators will be TO attach
this legislation to some Of the appropria-
ton bills, which viii appropriate on
their subjects, and thus will come the
real contest between the house and the
senate over land legislation. It Is prob
able that Western. senator's will try to
get in several bills in this way, which
they think viii be of imrlportance te their
constituents

ELECTING DIRECTORS.

RoCkefelier's Representatives Holding
Maetings'at Duluth,
DULUTH, Feb. 1.-THE representatives
of Rockefeller, who has lately obtained
control of the Mesaba iron range, are
holding their meetings here for the
Shaw, Mountain Iron, Biwalik and
Great Northern mines, and for the
Mesaba railroad. The Mountain Iron is
the only one that has thus far elected
directors, majority of which are
favorable to Rockefeller. Alfred Mer-
rift has refused to serve as president of
the railroad, and his successor will prob
ably not be determined upon for some
days. w. j. Olcott will be in charge
of all the mines. He is late of the
Gogebic and Penokee syndicate. The
new deal does not mean the shutting
down of q single mine.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. THE North

leaves the total Minneapolis and Duluth
stock at 90, 946, 900 bushels, or 80, 766

Simple Funeral Services Said at His
House md Afterward at the :

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. The remains
of George w Childs were laid at rest
in the Drexel mausoleum in Woodland
cemetery beside those of his closest
friend and business companion, Anthony
J. Drexel, who died but q few months
ago. Almost inseparable in life, it was
deemed fitting that they should rest to-
gether in death, although It was not
known that any request to that effect
had ever been made by Mr.. Childs. 1t
was at first intended to have the funeral
services private, but, yielding to the
request of many friends, Mrs. Childs
finally consented to a public funeral,
and the services were held at o'clock
| in st. James Protestant Episcopal
church, which is directly opposite the
residence of the dead philanthropist at
Walnut and Twenty-second streets, and
of which Mr.. Childs had been an hon
ored member and vestryman for many
years.
Brief Family Service.
A brief service for the family and i'm
mediate friends was held at the house
before the public service at the church:
At its conclusion, those present were
given an opportunity to take a last look
at the face of the one they loved, and
from which death had not effaced the
generous, kindly look, one of the charac-
teristic marks of the man, of whom
everybody said ''to know him was to
love him."
Then the casket was tenderly borne
out from the white marble mansion, and
across the street to the church, where ii
was placed on bier, in front Of the
chancel rail. The services at the church
as we'll as those at the residence were
conducted by Bishop Potter Of New
York, assisted by Bishop Whitaker OF
Philadelphia; Rev. Joseph 81. Blancher,
rector of ST.. James church, and DR..
William B. Bonine, rector of the church
Of the Saviour, West Philadelphia,
which the late Mr.. Drexel attended.
