ATCHIsoN. May 25.-The big plate
glass window in H. Drukker's jewelry
store, was bro ken about midnight Tues.
day night by blow from rock. Short
ly after this, the show window of ker
ford's grocery store, opposite the police
station, was broken in the same manner.
Yesterday John W. Madage walked
up to Chief Seip, and began making
such a curious talk in regard to the
breaking of the windows that he was ar :
rested
He was locked up at the police station.
No further attention was paid to him I'M
til some time afterwards, when the jailer
saw smoke Issuing from Madage's cell
A hasty investigation revealed the fact
that he had set the cell on fire. The bed
ding and walls were all ablaze, and the
fire was rapidly spreading.
Several policemen happened to be at
the station at the time, and they managed
to extinguish the flames with buckets.
Madage has been paralyzed, and his
mind is undoubtedly unbalanced.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and stock
Exchange. Room ., Columbian BuiIdiaE
Wheat opened wild again this morn
ing. with an advance OF over cents
over night, and advanced another =
cents on tremendous buying by the
Chicago talent. 1t remained very
strong and nervous all day, and
range between 80 and 81 until l O'Clock,
when every body wanted to take profits at
the same time. hammering the July
option to 1873 in ten minutes.
The break was too rapid for
any one to get in and was manip-
ulated "Shake out' in order to catch a
lot of timid bulls with only one cent
margin. Now that this was done in good
shape we will get another advance and
not be bothered by the small crowd tail
ing on.
The advance for the day shows a gain
of 11sc from last nights closing. We
will soon see 81 wheat and advise pur-
chases on all such breaks as this.
Corn and oats are strong and did not
break with wheat.
Provisions firm aud closed slightly
lower. A big advance is due in pork.
Puts on July wheat are rs; calls 6314,
and 81 and 56A on July corn.

Sulphur water for the Hair.

In reply to many inquiries, the fol-
lowing additional data is given regard
ing the use of sulphur water as hair
wash: Buy an ounce of flowers of sui
phur, put in a can with quart of
boiling water; use when cool. As this
water is taken off more may be added
to the reslduum of sulphur until the
water ceases to be impregnated with
it. The question is also asked whether
this may not tend to bleach the hair,
or to turn it gray and how often it may
be applied. It is not generally consid-
cred wise to wet the hair more than
once fortnight or so, but this wash
was used in the case mentioned in the
Press at least twice a week for some
months and has been tried as often as
that in other peculiar instances where
the hair fell out SO rapidly that ex-
IRENE measures seemed necessary. In
no case known has it harmed the color
of the hair in the least, or failed to
help its growth.-Philadelph Press.

MI. morrill, Shows the Bankers Over the
State House Proudly.
There were at least seventy-fve bank
ers in attendance at the meeting of the
Kansas bankers at Library hall this
morning.
After some business was disposed of.
headed by S. O. Thatcher, of Lawrence,
and P. L Bonebrake, of Topeka, they
strolled in double column to the
state house and went in to see
the governor. 1t was on his invitation
and the governor was glad to see them
The bankers were glad to see the gov
ernor and he shook the horny. toll :
stained hand of each and every one and
smiled his Is to ! smile and made them
happy.
Aud then he took them out to show
them his house, and they listened with
respectful silence, with their hands be-
hind their back, hats off even out in the
corridors, to his explanation of how "all
these rooms we're going to be fixed up
and made into Offices"
The corridors were too many for them
soon and they strayed away from the
governor into new found paths, and, per-
haps, have not all been rounded up in
the labyrinth yet
At 1870 this afternoon the fire depart
ment gave the bankers an exhibition at
the headquarters on Seventh street, and
they were pleased.
The session will end with the banquet
at the Throop this evening.

his IDEA POPULAR.

Mr.. Wilder's Financial Proposition Rec
commended For Presentation to Con-
gress.
At the meeting of the State Bankers
association this morning A. Oberndorf
of Frankfort arose and said:
81 move that a committee of five be
appointed to inspect the plan read by E.
Wilder last evening published else
wherel. and offered as solution of our
view to recommending it to the
discussion of the convention this
afternoon, and to see if it
would not be advisable to have it put in
the form of a bill and prevented to the
next congress with a request for its
passage"
]. r Mulvane moved an amendment
that the convention be made a committee
of the whole to discuss it, but after
moments conversation with Mr..
Oberndorf withdrew his amendment
1t was Mr.. Oberndorf's further sugges-
ton that Mr.. Wilder himself be made
chairman of that committee
This brought Mr. Alspaugh of Wash
ing TO his feet with protest against an
unknown man and man who was not a
banker nor a member of the association
being made chairman of the
committee, but he sat down as
gracefully as possible upon being
told by Mr.. Mulvane that Mr.. Wilder
was pretty well known man consider
ing had done banking in his time and
had been member of the association
for several years.
The convention was divided on the
question and it was necessary to call a
rising vote, which resulted in 1S for and
Is against. Many did not vote.
President Moore appointed on the
committee with Mr.. Wilder, A Obern
dorf of Frankfort, j. a. Swenson OF
Lindsborg, Carl Friend of Soldier, and
S. 7. Howe of Topeka.

The AmphIon club Concert.

The Amphion club will give their
fourth and last concert of the season at
the Methodist church Monday evening,
May ~. The warmest interest in the
studies of the club has been maintained
during the entire winter, and up to the
present time; and the members will be
glad to have their friends and the public
come and listen to those compositions
which have held for them such charm.
Topeka has always been musical and
famous for its large number of excellent
singers but they have sometimes look
ed about in vain for an able
leader. Professor Leib's enthusiasm
is undeniably infectious, and when
is added to that good taste and great ex-
perience there is no element lacking for
the entire success of a society such as
the Amphion club is. The beautiful
| things in music which the club will have
| rendered as per the four programmes
of the season 1894-95, will certainly show
rich research and we'll directed efforts in
the realm of music. And above all, an
interest is anchored which places the
Amphion among the institutions which
are here to stay.

Their talk was. not new, however.
About 1880 the two fellows moved a box
into the street, and Colonel King, who is
printer, raised his voice to invite peo-
pie to gather about him and listen. He
said that like all first class entertainers
they travelled about in a special car but
upon reaching Hiawatha they had
loaned it to George Gould to haul coal
in. Colonel King sang a few songs de-
flaming the president and the laws of the
land
Wilson, the other lecturer" declared
that out of a thousand travellers" he
had met some who were doctors, preach
ers and mechanics, and all were looking
for employment except 1O8 tramps, who
didn't want work He approved of
strikes, Coxeyism, and populistic doc
trines. The orators took up collection

A WILD GOOSE CHASE.

The Fire Department on a Hunt for a
Fire.
Fire Marshal Wilmarth is having
trouble with the fire alarm wires and
he is endeavoring this afternoon to find
out the cause of the trouble.
Just before noon today the Indicator
struck box 80" The department at
once turned out, but when they
reached box 49," which is at
the corner of Tenth and Topeka
avenue, they found that the box
had not been molested. Some one said
he thought that box '34"had been pulled.
That is located at the corner of Ninth
and Western avenue, and the run to that
place was made. Again they found that
no alarm had been turned in.
They then drove to station No 4, and
found that it was really box "36," at the
corner of Fourth and Taylor, which had
been used When the department final
ly reached 500 Taylor, they found a small
blaze in an clubhouse which was soon ex-
tinguished with but small damage.
