SENECA News; 1t is reported that the
depositors in MorrilI's Leavenworth bank
threaten to wreck the institution the day
the saloons are ordered closed in that
city. If this is true, is it not time to ser
iousIy consider the situation? Win a
band of conspirators. now daily violating
the law, be allowed to kill a mans Iegiti-
mate business because he stops their
Illicit traffic? The liquor men are not
doing themselves any good by uttering
threats of this kind. We hope the gov
srnor has grit enough to 60 ahead and
close up the last saloon in Leavenworth,
and keep them closed.

OVER at Atchison they let a man
named Chic run things, and at Leaven-
worth a man named Giacomini What
would Topeka think if Louie Charowhas'
opinions about law and morality were
permitted to have weight? Fortunately
Topeka is inhabited mostly by Ameri-
cans, and Americans of culture and re-
finement People who keep saloons or
disorderly houses are quietly and con-
temptuously suppressed in this town.
What they have to say doesn't count.

THE Pittsburg Dispatch complains Of
a scarcity of small bills in circulation
and suggests that there are plenty of
silver dollars in the treasury for those
who are disposed to present large bills
in exchange for them. The editor seems
to forget that this was tried in the sum-
mer of 1898 and that Mr.. Carlisle abso-
lutely refused to make such an exchange
for anything but silver certificates and
that he did that under protest

If Governor Morrill, shall grant the re-

WHOLLY disregarding public senti-
ment in the city of Dallas, Governor Gull
berson has set his foot down hard in the
matter of enforcement of the state law
against prize fighting. The citizens
should initiate Wichita, hold a mass
meeting and pass resolutions asking the
governor to suspend the law in their case
in the interest of the tax payers and
business men of the city.

THE GLoRIES OF INDIA.
The stoddard Lecture Last Night-AnotheI
 Delightful Treat.


 Delightful Treat.
 Another delightful evenings enterA tainment Was furnished at the Fly perion last evening in MT. John L. stod- dard's lecture on the glories of India, and the big audience present had much to enjoy in MT Stoddard's matchless talk descriptive of the splendid views which were presented, illustrative of some of the grandest and most inter- esting scenes that India, ancient and modern, presents to the traveller. The imposing modern architecture of Bom- bay, the Parsees, the beauties of their religion, the winding walks of their cemeteries shaded with a tropic mag niilcence of leaf and bloom, beautiful gardens, which only surround the gloomy towers of silence" with their Tapping Vultures waiting for the dead bodies to be placed therein, begin the delightful journey. Then were visited Jeypore with it's market place, swarm Ing with camels and elephants; the sacred city of Benares, with its two miles of river frontage on the Ganges, Its quaintly beautiful architecture, its countless towers and minarets, its bathing pilgrims and the unspeal1able nth Of the stream; and Delhi the capi- tai Of India's Mohammedan conquerors with its palaces of the Grand Moguls, whose unparalled magniflcence noth- ing but actual seeing and the glowing Incnpin+io,, re NJ,, any idea of, Fancy miles of purest white marble halls, inlaid in the most intricate floral designs, with precious stones of every color, arches and ceil- inGs the most glorious and gorgeous in mural decoration in the world MT. Stoddard's big audience listened with breathless interest as he told of the ravishing beauty, glories and splendors or the Moguls palace and of the pea cock throne therein, which alone was of immense value, and were immensely interested as he told of the carting away by the conquerers of the Moguls of $400, 100000 of gold and precious stones on the backs of a myriad of camels-- sum that if dumped into the United States treasury just at this time would render a new issue of bonds a wholly superfiuous transaction. MT. Stoddard also held the closest attention of his audience as he told of the horrors at tending the horrible mutiny of 1857. Agra with its magnificent palace of Shah Jehan and the famous Tai Mahal built by him as a tomb in memory of his beloved wife, the most perfect building of its kind in the world and the most sumptuous mausoleum everl erected, were other features of this ad- mirable lecture. The next lecture is the concluding one of the course.

"11IE TEXAS STEERS"

| The Name of New Haven's Baseball Team forNext season-Plans of Manager sulli- 1 van.
 MT. Ted Sullivan, manager, who is to | have the mana cement of the local base ball team for next season, will prob ably complete his preparatory work and close contracts with local persona ges. He has conferred with the local rail- road authorities, and has been offered good inducements by the Fair Haven and Westville company and by the New Haven Railway company
 The team which MT Sullivan pro- poses to bring to this city is certainly a very strong one, and will by the time the season opens here be working like clock work. The team has played in Texas and has broken the professional record, It has won twenty-four straight professional games. That is certainly phenomenal work for a professional team. The team is to begin a series Of games in southern cities, and will locate for a winter season either at Atlanta or Richmond. It will play in all the principal southern cities.
 The teamis called "The Texas Steers" the only baseball team in the United States or in the world, for that matter being so designated. Hodge, the catch CT, is certainly a phenomenon and many league clubs are anxious to obtain him, A price quite liberal has been set by the managers of one of the most inn portant league teams.
