he has since occupied.
In the spring of 1890 Mr.. Ettlinger, at
the solicitation of his friends, decided to
enter city politics He was elected to
the city council from the Third ward
and was unanimously nominated for a
second term and elected without opposi-
ton. He was again elected two years
ago and would probably have been again
returned this spring if he were not leav-
ing the city.
Mr. Ettlinger's reputation in the coun-
Gil has been that of a clean, conscientious
worker for the best interests of the city,
and Topeka loses a good representative
in Mr. Ettlinger.
MIR. Ettlinger goes to Kansas City as
the manager of the Bell Clothing COM
pany, stock concern which has been
organized with a capital stock of $780,
600. The company will occupy three
floors of building at Too Main street in
Kansas City. Mo-, and will do a whole
sale as we'll as a retail business. Ten
clerks have been employed. Three who
have been with Mr.. Ettlinger here &C.
company him and the rest have already
been employed in Kansas City.
Mr.. Ettlinger's family will remain in
Topeka for some time and he will claim
his residence here and represent his
ward in the council until after the
spring election,

After the usual periodical blast against
the wild extravaganza with which Mrs.
Clatterby manages the household affairs,
the burning of two bundles of wood where
one would do, and SO on, Mr.. Clatterby
winds up with:
I'D just like to have the running Of

you what could be done. There's no end
of little things that we might economic

enough to buy shoes for all the children,

lots of things we might cut off and never
miss 'em at all
"Well, JONAS" said Mrs. Clatterby,
"suppose you try it and see what you can
do. You take the money this week, and
you run the house. If you think you can
run this house on what you give me and
buy clothes for the children and pay the
laundry and the gas and the 40 other
things that you don't know anything
about, why, you re nightly mistaken. But

There were only 139 less calls for

December of 1894 This does not show
a determined New Years swear off of

Chris. Hoffman, One of the Regents, Wants
the Appropriation Maintained.
Chris. Hoffman of Enterprise, one of the
regents of the state agriculture al college
at Manhattan, is here looking after the
interest of the school among the men,
bers of the legislature.
The ways and means committee of the
senate has recommended that the appro-
priations for the state agricultural col
lege be cut so per cent from last years
appropriation, and this recommendation
has brought the friends OF the institu-
ton here to see about it.
Some of the PopuIist leaders think it
very strange that the first recommends
ton for cut in the appropriations for
the support of the only agricultural in
stitutiOn in the state should be made by
the Populist senate.
A strong pull will be made for the
same appropriations the institution had
last year.

A reporter asked Bfr. P L Bonebrake,
president of the board of police com Is-
sioners, today, if the reorganization oil
the police force was completed.
He said that about two-t thirds of the
force had been filed by new men, That
is to say, not new men at the business,
but men on the force, just now.

fifteen years experience.

twenty-five places to fill, and we must
have had between two and three hun

mechanics, laborers and others, some
of them men qualified to conduct any
kind of business. The universal state

see that bill has been introduced in the

of bonds to build an auditorium, to pro-

THE HOUSE HAS A NIGHT SESSION
Nineteen Local Bills Got Out of the Way
In One Roll Call.

Nineteen Local Bills Got Out of the Way
In One Roll Call.
The house had its first night session
last night, and "omnIbused' through
nineteen bills of a local character An
and allow smoking, but it failed to carry,
and the devotees of tobacco had to be
content with chewing the ends of un-
lighted cigars.
When bills are omnibused through,
the house acts very sly. One roll call is
had on the whole ba tch of bills, and the
house "plays" that it doesn't know but
that separate vote is called on each
measure. The speaker also is willingly
deceived. He pretends that for all he
knows the roll is being called on
each bill separately, and if
any too matter of fact member
asks him about it he seems to be affiict-
ed with the same malady az the gentle
men who occupy the front seats, he is
hard of hearing.
After the roll is called on the whole
number the clerk reads the title of each,
another clerk announces the vote on it
which is OF course the same as on every
other bill in the list, and it is declared
passed.
Some of the lawyers were in a pre-
dicament last night because there were
two bills in the list which they thought
plainly unconstitutional. They wanted
to vote mo" on these and "yes'' on the
rest, but being informed they couldn't do
so, had to ask to be excused from voting.
