THE LATEST STORY.
Members of the Legislature Can't Hold
Two Offices at Once.

Members of the Legislature Can't Hold
Two Offices at Once.
story was in circulation this after
noon to the effect that three Populist
members of the legislature who hold
state jobs, are to be brought before the
supreme court by quo warranto proceed
ings to show why they should not give
up their positions, on the theory that a
man can't fill two offices at the same
time.
1t is said this will effect State Senator
NJ. A. Householder, who is chairman of
the State Board of Charities, Senator
VIM. Rogers, who is a regent OF the State
University. and Representative w. d.
Street, who is a regent of the State Ag-
ricultural College.
Chairman Cy. Leland of the Republi-
can state central committee, says he
knows nothing Of such II scheme. and it
is generally believed to be fake.
Under this kind of procedure State
Senator Charles T. Scott, a Republican,
would be Liable to lose his position as u
regent of the state university.

There is a longing among the Jap
anese for a larger stature. The
mikado's government has come to the
conclusion that both the stature ana
physique of the Japanese people are
unsatisfactory and in need of i'm
provement. A parliamentary com
mission appointed to investigate the
causes of this lack of stamina has,
after prolonged investigation, as
cribed it to the vegetable diet to
which the Japanese have hitherto
mainly confined themselves.

INGALLS, STORY Up AGAIN.

Congressman Moore Talks of an Alliance
of PopuIists and Ingalls, Republicans.
There is practically no change in the
senatorial situation since Saturday. All
the candidates are here except " ajor c.
Hood, and he will arrive this evening.
State Senator Lucien Baker came over
from Leavenworth yesterday and is at
the Throop.
Judge Thacher came up from Law
renee this morning and he with the other
candidates are at the Copeland.
The tplk about union of Populist and
Republican votes to elect Ingalls, has
been revived by Cor gressman Moore of
Lawrence who in an interview at Wash
ington on Saturday said:
There is a movement on foot to form
coalition between certain Populists and
Republicans to elect Ingalls,, and l be-
lieve it will be successful. The thing is
.feasible enough if a sufficient number of
Republicans can be found to enter the
com bination. The Populists, l think,
as rule, would rather support Ingalls,
than either Ady, Burton or Leland.
Senator ingalls, will not come to To-
peka before next week, but it is init
mated that he will be a candidate in
earnest when he arrives, as his organ, the
Atehison Globe in one of its last issues
said the members of the legislature who
do not vote for Ingalls, will regret it.

SECRET OR OPEN BALLOT.
The Question Agitates the Members of
the Legislature.

The Question Agitates the Members of
the Legislature.
The all-absorbing topic of CONVERSE
tion among the mem bers of the legisla-
ture today has been as to whether there
is to be d secret or an open ballot in the
caucus this winter.
Major J. K. Hudson, one of the lead
ing candidates for state printer, created
something of a sensation when he came
out in yesterday mornings capital in
leading editorial denOuncing a secret
ballot and demanding an open ballot in
the caucus.
In this editorial Major Hudson said:
"The secret ballot is cover under
which a member can make promises to
one or more candidates and evade the
responsibility of his obligation to his
constituents or to candidates. X X \
"Let US start right fair and cOur-
ageous open ballot, each representative
aud senator assuming the responsibility
of his vote, will be good beginning"
Some of the memb bers have construed
this to be personal attack on their in
| tegrity and the other candidates for state
printer are helping them to think that
way.
1t has been suggested that on account
of the secret and open ballot row the
vote on that proposition in the caucus
/
Major Hudson's strength for state prin-
ter, although his workers protest that it
will not.
Two years ago the caucus voting was
done by secret ballot, but prior to that
| time it was the general practice to have
roll call and viva vOce vote.
a Topeka man who used to live in
Minnesota says: ask years ago in the
! election of a United States senator in
! Minnesota a large amount of money
! changed hands when the legislature
voted for United States senator by ballot
s'In order that the candidates might be
sure that the purchased votes were deliv-
cred, one of the candidates, D. NJ. Sa-
| bin, had his ballots printed on large
| sheets of yellow paper twenty inches
| square. ana his opponent, the present
! Senator Washburn, had his ballots print
| ed on red paper just as large.
The resolution to vote by ballot was
! adhered to, but the secrecy of the affair
was destroyed.

feet. Twenty five feet will flood
the mills along the river and cause dam
age to property. Thirty feet is consid-
cred the danger line. 1t has been rain
ing all night.
At Morgantown there were eighteen
inches of snow when the rain starred,
