G. 7. Huffman was brought to Topeka
last night on a warrant charging him
with dlsposing of property which was
not his own. A week ago Sunday he

nue.. The watch was lost by Miss Mamie
CallihaD, niece of Pete CALI
han, as she was returning from
church. Huffman, it is claimed, was
walking directly behind Miss Callihan
and must have known who the watch be-
longed to. The next day without max
ing any effort to locate the owner, he
pawned the watch at Morrison's jewelry
store for $7.7O and skipped town.
Miss Callihan advertised for the watch
all week, but the officers finally located
the watch at the jewelry store. Huff
man was known to be at Harrington
and after some correspondence he sent
Sergeant Donovan the pawn ticket for
the watch.
A warrant was issued by County At
torney Stafford and an officer was sent to
Harrington last night, and got Huffman.

Hold a Caucus and Pass a 16 to
1 Resolution.
WILL STAND BY 1T.
Central Committee Asked to
Call Convention.
It Will be to Agree on a Finan-

ST. LOUIS, April 3O.-A special to the
Republic from Jefferson City, Mo-, says:
Thirty five of the fifty eight Democratic
members of the state house of represen-
tatives met in a caucus at late hour last
night and adopted the following resoIu-
ton:
Resolved. That we the Democratic
members of the house of representatives..
thirty-eighth general assembly, favor the
free coinage of silver at ratio of Is to l.
The vote on the resolution stood, ayes
%, nays 8, not voting
An effort was made to have the body
adjourn as caucus and vote as an as
sembly of individual Democrats. but
they who had caused the caucus to be
assembled, voted the proposition down
and bound the members to the caucus
action. The whole trend of the caucus
was to precipitate a discussion which
will probably result in a state conven-
ton.
Julian of Kansas City presided over
the meeting and stated at the beginning
the purpose of the call
Singer of Gentry county sprung the
resolution forthwith and the fight was
on.
Buckner of Pike county declared that
the cole purpose of the resolution
was to force a state convention
and that it must inevitabl result in split
ting the party. The fight against the
resolution was taken up by Rothwell of
Randolph, Pritchett of Howard, Arm
strong of Henry. and DR.. Bell of St
Louis.
AS final result, Pollack of Dunklin
county offered supplementary resolution
inviting the senators and state officers to
be present at a second caucus to be held
Wednesday next and unite in call on
the state Democratic central committee
to call convention at time to be fixed
by the state committee for agreeing upon
q financial policy for the Democrats of
Missouri.
This resolution created the widest up
roar and in order to prevent a general
break, 1t was withdrawn and the other
adopted.

Judge Hazen Declares the State Printing
Office Must Close July L.
Judge Hazen has decided that no bid
can now be entertained for the state
printing establishment, on the ground
that no title can be passed pending the
litigation, unless the parties to the case
consent,
A week ago Receiver Hubbard opened
the single bid for the plant, $4,000 Of
fered by State Printer Elect Major ]. K.
Hudson.
In open court yesterday State Printer
Snow asked that new bids be received
and said, as an evidence of good faith,
he would offer $4,000 for the plant and
business, Immediate possession to be
given.
1t was then Judge Hazen made the
above announcement Furthermore"
said the court, ''after July 1st the estab-
lishment will be closed and not wheel
be allowed to turn. The case will be
tried at the September term"
This puts a new feature to the case,
and will apparently compel Major Iud-
son to arrange for the state work inde-
pendently of the present plant-and also
compel State Printer Snow to do like
wise, if the latter contests Hudson's
claim-a matter on which Mr.. Snow says
he has not yet determin ed how he will

sentative Otto E. Eckstein the asylum in
vestigating committee did not reassemble

being too familiar with the female en-
ployes of the asylum and other state in
stitutions he has visited as a member eff

defense, arose and moved to quash the
entire proceedings for the present or
until the supreme court should have an
opportunity to pass on a question he has
presented to it regarding the legality of
the investigation.

tirely against Senator Householder's

calities and the motion being overruled

ssSmaII Fry"

A well known London photographer
was amusingly caught by one of his emil
nent customers. This was bishop who
dropped in one day to look up an old
negative. The huge bundles of negatives
in the studio had been carefully classi-
fed, and search was made in section
labeled, Mobility, gentry and distin-
guished personages.
The bishop was not there. He turned
to another set, with the contemptuous
label, ''Small fry.
'Oh, your lordship will not be in
that lot, % said the photographer anx
iously.
But his visitor was already examin
ing the pile and soon came upon the
picture of his own face. Labored expla-
nations only made the comedy of dis
eomdture more complete. London Star
Ex-Attorney General John L. Little
came up from Olathe this afternoon. He

JOHNNY BANKS FATHER.
A Kentucky Incident I'm which a

A Kentucky Incident In which q
small BOY cot a Had Apple.
A Kentucky school committee
wb lose members had invitations
to a hanging at the county Jail
struck town just before the dis
trict school was dismissed for the
day. With a view of combining
business with their pleasure trip,
the committee dropped in on the
schoolma' am and put few ques-
tons to the scholars. The an
swers were so brilliantly in
correct that the teacher was
prompted by her pupils appar-
ent ignorance to tell the commit
teemen that all the little ones were
worked up over the coming event
at the Jail. Then she dismissed
the scholars.
But the scholars, instead of
trooping off as usual, hung about
the yard Watching with jealous
eyes the proud and arrogant bear
ing of a small boy who strutted
around among them like a king
in the midst of his courtiers. His
every action was observed, and it
was apparent that the greater
part of the girls hung upon his
words and glances. Eventually
one of them offered a ripe red
apple to the boy, who took it
without thanks and with cool sup
eriority. His action and the queer
behavior of the other children
aroused the curiosity of one OF the
visitors, and he turned to the
schoolma'am, asking:
who is that arrogant small
boy :"
The teacher looked, and then
with little air of wonder, an
swered:
