Militia Encampment.

The state military board has com
pleted the arrangements for the encamp-
ment of the Kansas National Guard,
which will last for five days of the third
week in October.
It was originally intended to have a
division encampment, but the board
found that not enough funds were avail
able to sustain an encampment of the
entire division and the encampments
were ordered by brigades.
The first brigade, commanded by Gen.
W. III. Sears, will encamp either at Gar
nett or Ottawa This includes the To-
peka battery, one regiment of infantry
and one troop of cavalry.
The second brigade, commanded by
Gen. I. N. Hettinger, will encamp at
Wichita. 1t includes one regiment Of
infantry and one battery.

II publican State Ticket
CONGRESSIONAL,
Fred Closes Big Lie.

In a speech made at lola by Fred j.
Close, Governor dwellings private sec
rotary, he made an attack on James A.
Troutman, the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, and endeayored to
excite the hostility of the laboring men
against him by charging that Troutman
recently built fine residence in POtwin
addition to the city to Topeka, and
when it was finished failed to pay the
men who built it, putting them off from
day to day until it was too late for them
to file 2 lien on the property, and thus
compelling them to lose their money.
AS Mr. Troutman has already spoken
in lola and will not be able to visit that
locality again during the campaign to
reply to Closes unwarrrnted attack, he
has written a letter to Charles f. Scott,
editor of the Register, in which he
answers Mr.. Close III the following en-
phatic manner:
1.-The only reply necessary to be made
to Mr.. Closes charge is that L never
built a house in Potwin. In 1886 [
bought a house already built, in which
/ lived until December, 1891, when [
sold it. / afterwards rented the house
in which [ now live, and continued to
pay rent until February, 1894, when [
bought that property. This is all the
property [ have ever owned IN POtwin
except a vacant lot. Several years ago
my sister and myself built two houses
in North Topeka, and as soon as they
were built the contract price was paid
to the carpenter, and never was any
question raised by him or any of his
laborers.
The statement made by Mr.. Close
has not a shadow of foundation. l
called at the Office to see him this morn
ing but he is out of the city. [ have
written him stating that if he can give
me any substantial fact upon which this
charge is founded, will withdraw from
the Republican ticket. [ don't owe a
solitary bin in this town that | know Of,
except some large amounts that are
amply secured, and [ take some pride
in the fact that among business men in
this city my credit is exceptionally good. >

1t Is Clearly Fixed.

Kansas City mo Journal.
Why is it that none of the populist
orators in Kansas give any explanation
of that Pullman tax reduction? It is a
matter of record that the assessment of
the Pullman company's property in the
state was reduced by the populist board
of assessors one-third, although there
was no reason to suppose that the orig
inal assessment was too high. Republi-
cans charge that this reduction was the
result of corrupt influence, and there
seems to be no other tenable grounds
upon which to base it. Yet the popu-
list leaders studiously ignore the whole
subject, and their campaign orators
give it wide berth. 1t is too grave
matter to be put aside SO easily and the
tax payers will not accept silence for an
answer. If no satisfactory explanation
can be given, let it be SO understood and
the responsibility be clearly fixed where
it belongs.

The CountY,s Poor.

Poor Commissioners Hale, of Shawnee
county, says since the county COM
missioners have adopted the new rule of
sending paupers to the poor farm, there
has been marked falling off in the
number of paupers. Every day, Mr..
Hale says, he sees men on the street
who formerly relied solely on the coun-
ty for food. Rather than go to the
poor farm, they made an effort to keep
themselves, and they seem to have been
successful.
Mr.. Hale says at present there is very
little suffering in Topeka, but the first
snow will no doubt see many unpre-
pared for it.
Mr.. Hale has furnished many pairs of
shoes during the last week to families
who wanted to start their children to
school, but who lacked the necessary
foot covering.

Millions for Defence

Against the inroads Of that subtle, lurking foe
to human health, malaria, had been expended
useIessly when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
appeared upon the scene and demonstrated its
power as a preventive and curative of the
dreaded scourge When the gold fever
ragged in 1S49 in California, malaria was con
temporaneous with it at the "diggings," and
wrought dreadful havoc among the miners.
Then and subsequently on the Isthmus of Pana-
ma, and wherever in the tropics malarial dis
ease is most virulent the Bitters became the
recognized safeguard. For the effects of ex-
posure and fatigue, miasma- poisoned air and
water, sea sickness and all disorders of the
stomach liver and bowels, the Bitters affords
prompt relief Invalids of all sorts will find it
fully adequate to their needs.

The Official Ballot.

Secretary of State Osborn proposes to
call the chairmen of the four political
parties of the state together and have
them agree on form for the official bal
lot to be used in all the counties of the
state at the coming election.
The law leaves the matter with the
county clerk of each county, but it is
thought that if all the chairmen agree on
a form it will be adopted by each county
and i'll that way a uniform ticket can
be secured all over the state.
If the chairmen agree on form for
an authorized ballot, it will then be
published in the official state paper.

STATE AFFAIaO
And Capital City News of State
Interest.
The HON > at snkviIIe.


Topeka delegates who have Just re-
turned from the session of the sovereign
grand lodge of Odd Fellows at Chat
tanooga, report that the controversy be-
tween the Kansas lodges relative to the
Orphans home at Silkville was def
nitely disposed of in written decision
by Chairman Wright, of the national
judiciary committee, and approved by
the sovereign, body.
The grand lodge of Kansas at it's last
session made an assessment of $1.50 per
capita to finish the Orphans home in
Franklin county and to sustain that
home until its next session. Several
lodges thought that the assessment was
too high and claimed that the title to
the home was not in the grand lodge at
all.
The grand master found it necessary
to interfere and enforce discipline, to
suspend a number of lodges because
they refused to pay this assessment.
The action of the sovereign grand lodge
sustains the grand lodge of Kansas and
the grand master, and refuses to enter
tain the appeal made by these lodges to
the grand sire. This sets forever at
rest any possibility Of a subordinate lodge
refusing to obey the mandates of the
grand lodge of a state SO far as paying
assessments for an orphans home is
concerned
Another important point made by the
sovereign grand lodge is that the title of
the Orphans home of Kansas is in the
grand lodge of the state and that the
trustees cannot under any circumstances
misuse this trust by attempting to di-
vert this property in any direction save
for the purpose stated in the deed.

An Empress Who COOKS,

The Empress of Austria is the best
royal house-keeper in Europe. She is
as thoroughly acquainted with details
of the imperial Austrian kitchen as her
husband is with the details of the i'm
perial Austrian government. She
superintends the household affairs of
the big palace at the Austrian capital
with the greatest care. She receives
personally. roads and acts upon reports
from cooks, buffers, keepers of the
plate, and keeper of the linen. Cook
ing divices which have become incon-
venient or antiquated are abolished only
ut her command. New methods of
preparing or saving food are adopted
only at her suggestion. Changes in the
personnel of the establishment are
made for the most part only in obedi-
once to her orders. Consequently a
person can eat, drink, sleep and be
served better In her house than In any
other in Europe.
The kitchen in which the food for the
bluest blood of Austria is cooked is a
huge room with all the arrangements at
each end for preparing fish, fowl and
beast for the table. Fifty chickens can
be cooked at once on one of the big
whirling spits. Against the side walls
from floor to ceiling stand scores upon
scores of chatting dishes. In these
dishes, all of which are self-warming,
the meats arc carried to the carving
room, whence they are returned to the
kitchen ready to be served The boil
ing and baking and frying and carrying
and cutting occupy a small regiment q
servants. Twenty-Five male cooks. in
white clothes, dress, spit, season and
stuff the meats. As many female cooks
prepare the vegetables, the pudding
and the salads. A dozen or more boys
hurry the birds, fish and joints from
the kitchen to the carving room, where
long lines of carvers slice and joint
everything laid before them.
