Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
TOPEKA, Sept. Something which
would have been regarded as absurd In
Kansas politics, week ago, is now being
thought seriously of. All eyes have sud
denly turned to Dave Overmyer. the Dem
ocratic governor.
The question appears to be now as to
juss what percentage of the defeated Pop
ulist vote Orermyer Is going TO get.
Astute politicians have no hesitaGcy Is say
ing that Lewelling is whipped, BODY aad
breeches, and that the chances are excel
lent for the Democrats TO bring out vote
which will be surprising.
Populists are getting out OF that party
in droves. The Democrats are counting on
ca tching many, who have made such
hard fight on the Republicans that
they can not consent to return to the he-
publican party all of a sudden.
Whether the Populist state ticket is on
the run or not, something very like panic
has seized It, Lewelling is mad at Bred
enthal and has been for some time, and
when Ben Hender.On's letter came out
written to Briedenthal and complimenting
him, but skinning Lewelling alive. the
DcOWSGu OuC LnO uhCh was "
Briedenthal is sick of the whole busi-
ness and would like TO get out. Nothing
is more discouraging than to try to bolster
up cause which is being torn to pieces
by comrades in the cause. This has been
brought home painfully to Briedenthal,
and it would not be the most unusual
thing in the world If be retired quietly
from the management of the campaign.

LAWS AGAINST MAGIC.
The Ancient Dread of the Dabblers In the
DiabolicaI Arts.

The Greek laws, the Roman law of the
IL tables the laws of every nation in Eu-
rope, Christian and pagan, provided pen
alties for the exercise Of magical and dia-
boiical arts. Most of these Laws rendered
sne magicians themselves liable TO be burn
ed alive, and those who cultivated them
to crucifixion. Even the possession OF
magical books and apparatus was crimi-
nal. Astrologi (mathematioi) were espe-
eially Objectionable to both the pagan and
Christian emperors. In the Roman and
Greek churches this form of exorcism OF
evil spirit still survives and was aCknowl-
edged by the Protestant church of Eng
land as late as 1903.
AS late as the reign of George II of Eng
land it was made a felony, without the
benefit of clergy, to declare by witchcraft
where treasure was, to provoke unlawful
love or TO attempt 70 hurt cattle, goods or
persons The last trial of witch in Eng
land was that OF Jane Wenham in 17l2.
She was convicted at Hertford, but not
executed. Coke, Bacon and Sir Matthew
Hale were firm believers in witchcraft-
lord Seldom affirmed the statutory provi-
sicss on the subject. Shakespeare, Milton
and others of the great literat Of England
were firm believers in the power Of the de-
parted to influence the living. Even 20
this day in some of the states of this Tn
ion the form Of criminal Indictment ac-
knowledges the potency Of the devil IN in

teenth and seventeenth centuries. The

DO AS THEIR FATHERS DID.
Philadelphia People and Their Curious
Notions of Social Eligibility.

Philadelphia People and Their Curious
Notions of Social Eligibility.
Philadelphians well deserve their
reputation for slowness. Progression
is an unknown word in the Quaker
city. The fashionable people scorn
any innovations, as they desire to con-
tinue to do as their fathers did. When
you look upon the number of slow and
uncertain horse-car lines and the ag-
gravating speed of their cable cars,
says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, you can well judge the tempera-
ment of q people who viii stand by
and suffer such things. Philadelphians
are perhaps the most peculiar, clan
nish, Interchangeable people that exist
in any city of the country. They pos
sess certain traits of character and
ideas regarding sociology, which viii
probably be found still thriving and
strong by anyone going to Philadel-
phia a hundred years hence. The ef-
feet of the absurd idea that the eligi-
bility to soar in the mystic circles of
fashionable QuakerdOm is to be de-
termined by the answer to the .ques-
ton whether he resides uptown or
downtown can never be appreciated
by one who Is not Phiiadelphian, or,
at least, well acquainted with that
citv's social peeuliarities. 1t causes
people to pay twice as much rental in
the downtown residence district for
houses not half as good as could be
gotten uptown, not to say anything of
the questionable pleasure of living
among saloons, groceries and shops Of
all kinds. Instead of dying out, as
one would expect it to do in this en-
lightened age, this feeling regarding
the difference ones place of residence
makes upon his social standing is posi-
lively becoming more bitter. This is
one of the peculiarities that Philadel-
phia viii retain as long as it exists
Any attempts that have been made to
obliterate the dividing line have only
ended in dismal failure. leaving the
situation much worse than before. 1t
seems that common sense was not dis
pensed with a very free hand in Phils-
delphia, at le asst on this one point.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3-There was q big run
of cattle today, about 26. 000 Showing mp.
OF that number :, 900 came off the range.
Not many ripe natives were offered and
although the demand for that grade was not
nearly as sharp as they were last week aud
the preceding week, it was strong enough
to prevent any further weakening o. prices.
Common to good native steers sold lower
and so did westerns The decline in the
latter was quite .10Gl5 cents. and the for
mer suffered almost as much. Trade was
quiet In all branches Of the market, and a
good many cattle were left in the sellers
hands.
Natives sold principally at 81 15(d2. 80 for
cows. heifers aud bulls, and at $4G5.25 for
steers. with 81 25(95.s0 the extreme range
of quotations. Sales OF westerns were on
basis of 81. 5o@4 60 for very common to
extra. Texans were quoted at sl-25. The
late market WAS the worst, the receipts
largely exceeding estimated receipts, and
causing buyers TO demand big concessions
when the quality was not prime.
There was a sale of heavy hogs at Sc 80,
and light weights sold up TO So 10. This
indicates an advance in the iprice OF 5@lo
cents. The gain In common grades
was still more pronounced, scarcely
anything that is ut TO come on the
market, below 50 So, and the bulk of the
offerings were above So 80. There was
good demand for shipments by all local
packers. and the supply was soon closed
out. The average of less than 2Oc pounds
sold at $5 80 to 50 %. and from So TO So p
was the popular prices for medium and
the heavy weights. Choice stnff sold at
s. 30 TO 50 75
Comparative steadiness is noted in the
sheep market. The receipts were moder-
ate, and the demand fair at 50 90 to So 80
for poor 10 choice. The range of prices for
lambs was 81 20 to 81 p.
