DUNE WAS TOUCHED.

Patti Rosa's Husband shed Tears When
He Saw Her Picture in Mourning.
There was a touching incident at the
Elks' club room Saturday afternoon
when the Patti Rosa company was being
entertained there.
For a long time a picture of Patti
Rosa has been hanging on the wall, and
when she died last summer some kind
hand tackled a bit Of crepe to the corner
of it.
Joe Cawthorn, Maurice Darcy. New
man Of the company and Lee Jones we're
IN the room and somehow the rest Of the
party strayed away from Dunno, the
manager of the com pany and the late Ia
mented Rosa's husband. He seemed to
be unusually quiet
Suddenly there was a suppressed sob
from his direction and the party glanced
that way.
Dunno was standing before the picture
with his head bowed and tears on his
cheeks, while his form shook with emo
ton he could not conceal
The chatter Of the party was hushed,
and Dunno was left alone IN quietude
with his sorrow
Dunno feels as though be could never
quite get over the loss of his wife. The
party passed a miserable blind cripple
once during the hour following the
incident Of the picture, and Dune
exclaimed that he would gladly take
that mans burden if he could have his
wife back.
Patti Rosa was the most charming
woman I ever knew" said Cawthorn.
the company was never blue, while she
was around with her happy ways and
cheering words"

the BARRIERS International union, has re-
turned from ST. Paul. where he repre-
sented Kansas az the national cUnven-

Dit. Miller was elected first vice presi-

There we're about forty delegates pres

not only had a profitable meeting, but a
nice time. They met at the state capitol
and we're given reception, in which
both the governor and mayor took part
The following resolution was adopted:
"Be it resolved by the Journeyman

ca that we heartily oppose any organiza-
tion that has a tendency 10 question the
right of any American citizen to hold a

almost unanimously although there was
only one Catholic in the convention.
There are now only four unions in
Kansas, at Topeka, Leaven worth, Wichi-

Miller thinks il Will be much larger

by Steward James Butler.
Steward James Butler Of the asylum
has submitted to Governor Lewelling a
statement showing the amount Of coal re-
ceived at that institution from the peni-
Tertiary mines since the first Of January,
1892, which does not agree with the
statement of Warden Dick Chase that
more C GAL was used in the last two
months than in any CORES Onding
months in the history of the institution.
Warden Chase said he shipped 43 cars
of coal to the asylum during the months
of October and November, which does
not look bad according to the following
statement:

amount of coal received from July 1 to
December 1, 1892. and including the
amount received during the same period
IN 1898 and 1894
The following statement was prepared
by j. II. Gravely, who has been clerk of
this institution for fifteen years:

Is Organized The Honest Poor who
Are Being souEha do NOT Wanr
Their Poverty Exposed
A committee from the Associated
Charities, headed BY Edward Wilder,
has been comforting with the county
commissioners and has presented them
with a petition signed BY nearly six hun
dred taxpayers, asking them to establish
rock pile or allow the Associated Char
tiles to establish one on which able
bodied male mem bers of a needy family
may work and earn their donations
The commissioners have taken the
matter under consideration and II they
accept the proposition the broken rock
will be used to improve the country
roads leading to the city. 50 that all tax
payers viii be benefited.
This is in line with the associations
plan 10 allow no able bodied man to re-
ceive aid for himself or family unless he
will work for it,
A small rock pile has been established
near the charity headquarters. Secre-
tary Russ says it has proved a scare for
several men who wanted help for moth
ing. AZ is open 20 public view all around.
The JOURNAL is not in sympathy with
the rockpile idea. The object Of the
Associated Charities is to provide for

WHAT BECOMES OF IT?
VIII the Legislature Abolish the Shawnee
County Circuit Court?

What the legislature will do with the
Shawnee county circuit court is a ques-
ton now attracting attention. Some law
yers are in favor Of abolishing the court
entirely. while others are in favor of
the scope Of the court Deputy Clerk Il.
NJ. COckrell. who has had charge of the
work of the court, says that not case
has been filed in the court since early in
October and that there has not been
enough work in the court to pay the
salary of the deputy for several months.
He says that when he assumes the duties
of clerk of the court he viii not put a
man in the circuit court to attend to the
court business, because the work viii not
justify it but Will place q competent boy
in the office who can wait on the attor-
neys and look up the cases.
The general opinion among lawyers is
that the court should, by some means, be
made Co ordinate with the district court.
AS the law stands now the court can not
enforce its judgments, but they must be
certified up to the district court, where
they become judgments of that tribunal
This makes an additional bill of costs,
and attorneys. consequently, will not
bring their cases in the circuit court
That accounts for the brevity of the
docket at the present session.
The attorneys say that while Judge
Hazen has proved himself fully able to
handle the entire docket in the district
court, that there are few if any who
could do the same, and his successor
may not be able to keep up with the

Labor, Says DIR. Learned.
DR. Learned presented to his audience
in his lecture last evening as an ideal for
educators, "A full grown body sound IN
all its parts, self supporting. with a high
standard of character
In the east. he said, every parent had
resolved to give their sons and daughters
an education whatever else they had.
The result was. too many are unac-
quainted with the earth whence grows
all we live upon. The parents with
sleeves rolled up toll for and supply the
new generation. He believed every boy
and girl should grow every day to full
maturity and should learn something
about work. He said it is seldom the
graduate comes home to ask for job on
the farm.
The professions are more than fun.
Let sound health be at the foundation.
He quoted from Herbert Spencer: ITEMS
of thousands are killed, hundreds of
thousands grow up with feeble constitu-
tiOns because parents are ignorant of the
laws of life"

NO BONus ABOUT 1T.

A contemporary wants to know
what about the city fulfilling its obi
cations to the Copper Plant company"
1t also advances the theory that the
city was obligated "when it offered a
bonus to have 100000 expended in a
way to give 400 men employment"
That theory is founded on the asser-
ton that the city paid a heavy bonus
to the sewer contractors.
The whole mess of assertion and ar
gument is erroneous. The city has en-
tered into no obligations with the Cop
per Plant company. The city has CIV
en- no bonus to the sewer contractors.
The city never "obligated' itself by Of
fering a bonus to have any number of
men given employment.
The city is not in the bonus bust
ness. It refused to pay bonus to the
Copper Plant because it had no legal
right to give away the peoples money
that way. The city has the right to
buy and sell real estate for municipal
purposes. 1t agreed to buy $4,000 of
real estate from the men who wanted
the Copper Plant people to have a bo-
nus. The city has been ready TO full
fill that obligation, when the parties
would come forward with real estate
.-aaeo,,a hl1, worth the money. The CITY
is merely waiting for that, and will not
give $4,000 cash for $4,000 worth of
real estate. This obligation is not with
the Copper Plant company. Remem-
Der they have no controversy with the
city.
The $4,000 paid to the sewer con-
tractors was not bonus nor in the
nature of a bonus. 1t was forfeit
money due the contractors legitimate
ly, as decided by the city council af-
ter full investigation. Some people may
disagree with that decision. If they dc
it does not make the payment of the
money a bonus 1t was not an offer
for something to be done, but a pay
ment for losses incurred. Right OF
wrong as to it's payment, it was not
paid in the shape, or form, or pretence
or reality of bonus We believe the
city appropriated the money rightful-
ly and that it was due to the contract

pulsory arbitration The two words
seem to him to be antithetical. Legal
compulsion migmt react dangerously
against the progress of organized la
Dor and would be a dangerous exper-
iment. The only successful arbitra-
ton is between parties sFho have
respectful consideration for the views
of each other. Labor can obtain a re-
spectfuI hearing and influence only
through organization.
The weapons now used by labor have
been tested by experience and their
effectiveness and limitations are fully
understood
+ Mr.. Gompers earnestly protests that
the strike is not necessary part of
the labor movement. Strikes are I'M
fortunate and to be regretted, but often
useful. For every strike that attracts
the attention of the public there are
thousands of instances in which the
labor unions are working out their OBJ
ployers, and these things are unreport-
ed in the papers. Strikes, however,
serve their purpose, for it is always no
ticed that employers, who are full of
fight in the first strike experience, are
afterwards full of the spirit of com
promise.
The Federation is committed to the
free coinage of silver at 16 to l, regard
less of international agreement. Cox
,eyism is the evidence of social unrest
without vital significance. In a gen.
eral way the American Federation ia
ivors an income tax, but personally Mr..
Gompers opposes the exemption in the
proposed bill and favors the taxing of
all the incomes of self-supporting men;
the tax should be graduated.
The organization is committed par
ticularly to shorter hours as the means
of increasing Intelligence and happi-
ness. and therefore starting progress.
Much has been done in this direction
since the organization of the Fedora
ton in $780,
There are under Mr.. Gompers' pres
idency rs unions, aggregating in mem
bership about $4,000 men.
