about the new state accountant. has this
to say in yesterdays Kansas City Gazette:
"Some folks think when we referred
to the new state accountant, John Eng
land Challenor, that the name was a gag
OF ours. That is not so. We copied his
name from the records of the clerk of the
district court. where a duplicate of his
naturalization papers were fled March
%, 1895 It was spelled out in full, John
England Challenor. 1t is good name,
and John England is a clever fellow, en-
titled to all he can get The only thing
to kick about is the taste or judgment of
the governor who would induce John
England to remain in America by good
Office, when he wanted to get hack to
England There are lots of fellows in
Kansas who do not want to and cannot
get away"
ave have heard a great deal about the
Office chasing the man, but when it grabs
an alien, prevents his return to England,
and forces him to take out naturaliza ton
papers, so that he may be eligible to
commission, it is time the Kansas man,
who has some conception of citizenship,
and who through his ability and activity
keeps the material and political fires
burning, should take a tumble to the
fact that he is q blankety blank -"

j. G. Waters Talks About the Fellows IN
dictment at the Rally.
One of the principal points discussed
at the Republican rally at Ham ilton hall
last night was the circular printed and
circulated anonymously on the street
yesterday, purporting to be a copy of the
Dickinson county Indictment against
Charley Fellows, the candidate for
mayor, and Captain Joe Waters opened
the ball.
In spite of the very bad weather near
ly if not quite, 500 persons were present
at the meeting to hear Governor Nor
rill, Congressman Curtis and others who
were advertised to speak. The two gen.
tlemen named failed to appear and it
looked for a time as though there
wouldn't be any meeting at all but
Sackson's band was there and kept the
waiting crowd in good humor with a
band concert that covered a period of
half an hour Samuel T. Howe pre-
sided
When Mr. Waters came forward with
a COPY of the circular in his hand there
was a sort of satisfied smile of expecta-
ton on the faces before him. Somebody
was going to be skinned and the audi
ence knew it. Even the women, of whom
there were several. prepared to enjoy
themselves.
ST know lots of mean men in Topeka"
said Mr.. Waters, sand / am bound to say
I don't know one mean enough to do a
thing like this. He who did it was a
coward. He would burn your barn in
the middle of the night. If he liked the
girl you were going to see he would cut
your harness to pieces while you were in
side. There is nothing low enough for
a man to do who would spring such a
thing as this when it is too late for de-
NAL or investigation If there had been
anything il this Dickinson county story
that Charley Fellows bribed a member
of the school board where he had a con-
tract it would have been published
month ago The man that would get up
this circular is mean enough to own a
printing press and print it himself"
That was as near an accusation as Mr..
Waters got.
The audience was in hearty sympathy
with Mr.. w aters' remarks.
IF when Charley Fellows is mayor"
he continued, ''we have another winter
like this and he does not do his best to
devise some means whereby the poor
man may live without having to accept
employment at fifty cents a day on the
Associated Charities rock pile l will
never vote for him again"
Mr.. Waters spoke encouragincly of
the new dam prospects and turned his
attention to the waterworks company
now operating in this city. 81 think it
is an outrage that we have to be hum
bugged by an outfit like that" he said.
Mr.. Waters was followed by James H.
Guy, the colored orator, who made an
able speech.
Bernard Kelly was called for but de-
clined to speak.
Judge Ferry, D. c. Tillotson aud A. B
Bradford also spoke.

BADLY WRENCHED.

A Case in Police Court Today That
Would Puzzle a Master of Algebra.
J. n Graham, who lives in North To-
peka and hauls cObs. had a wagon and a
wagon wrench. The other night it was
missing and Graham had VIM. Harrison
arrested as the thief
The entire outfit including some of the
neighbors was in police court this morn
ing to tell about it. Mr. Graham adj
dressed the court and told his story in
the following clear and concise manner:
You see. judge, l have 81 inch
wagon and Harrison's wagon is go and
my wrench don't lit his wagon and his
wagon don't fit my wrench. Mr. Burre.l
here has 81 wagon and my wrench
fits his wagon but don't fit Har-
rison's. Now Harrison's wrench,
which is 80 fits his wagon
but doesn't ht my wagon which
is 80. O1e night l missed my wrench
which fit Mr. BurreIPs wagon and not
Mr.. Harrlson's wagon, and it was on MIR.
HarrisOn's wagon which was go and
which my 81 wrench did not tit, but
which fit Mr.. Burrelfs wagon, being 81.
This wrench which Ills Mr. Burrelfs
wagon and did not fit Mr. Harrison's
wagon and which fits my wagon as Mr.
BurrelPs wagon is 81 and Mr. Harrison's
wagon is 34 and my wagon is So, while
the wrench is 358, You can easily see
not 1T Mt Hsrrison's wagon which has
a wrench which is "a and which would
not lit Mr. BurrelPs wagon which is 81
nor my wagon which has a wrench which
is 358"
The easiest way out of this for the
judge, under the circumstances, was to
dismiss the case and he did.

A PIECE OF SPITE WORK.
No Grounds for the Old Indictment
Against Fellows.

No Grounds for the Old Indictment
Against Fellows.
A circular including the old exploded
indictment of Councilman Charles A.
Fellows, the Republican candidate for
mayor, was scattered broadcast on the
streets last evening. It is charged that
ex-Councilman E. B. Whaley, who is
bitter enemy of Mr.. Fellows, is RESPONSE
BILE for the circular. The circular can
have very little effect. for it is q well
known fact that the Indictment was the
result of personal spite against Mr.. Eel
lows, and he not only never was tried.
but no attempt was made to bring him to
trial.
His offense consisted in purchasing
the hardware for a high school he was
building of one of the mem ers of the
school board. It was let by contract and
this man was the lowest bidder. Mr..
Fellows did what no man who brides
ever does-gave his notes for the hard
ware.
The following letters explain who is
responsible for the circular and how
much ground there was for the indict-
ment:

JANITORs' LOT NOT A HAPPY ONI
They Are Used as Hosting Apparatus an
Drays.

DrayS.
The state house janitors have been
having a hard time since they COM
menced working for the people at 500
month. Under the last administration
the janitors were allowed to do about as
they pleased, and if they swept pile of
dirt up in one of the corridors or behind
door, it generally remained there for at
least month, but things have changed
The janitors not only have to keep the
halls swept clean and the windows wash
ed but they have been kept busy carry
ing furniture around the big building
during the last few weeks.
Big walnut desks have been carried
from the basement to the top story and
back again. Heavy chairs and other
office furniture have been moved around
from the east wing to the west wing and
back until the poor janitors say their
backs are almost broken.
1t is true the work ought to be done,
but there ought to be more men to do it.

her, she said: 81 know nothing of il ex-
cept the report 1 read in the newspa-
papers. 1 have no doubt that such an
investigation will be made, and indeed l
rather hope they will investigate my
official career. If they are going to
bring charges of interference with the
management of the Insane asylum, in
all probability the charges can be
proved. The records show that every
time there was steal made it was
done during my absence. Ny in
reference on several occasions kept the
state from being defrauded. A little
more interference on my part would have
been a good thing for the taxpayers.
