A careful examination of the regis

South Misunderstanding the Act
of l894-brings me to the conclu-
sion that if a voter who was duly
qualified and entitled to register IN
May and June, 1882, did not on &C
count of absence, sickness, mad
vertence to other causes register
when the books were open in that
year, that he was not only prevented
from voting at the general election
in November, 1882, but was and has
been prevented-under the law
from voting at all elections held III
the State subsequent to said cleo
ton in 1882 This seems almost IN

The statement is appalling, the out

MORE RAIN Is NEEDED.
Observer Jennings WeeklyWeat
er Crop Bulletin
ISSUED FROM THE STATION HERE.

Rainfall is Deficient in All But Four
Counties Orchards Give Great
Promise.
The weekly weather crop bulletin OF
the Kansas weather service issued from
Observer jennings Office in Topeka yes
terday is not encouraging. Generally
over the state the temperature fell below
the normal during the first days OF the
week and light trosts formed over the
state, but the warm days following nave
carried the temperature above tne noi
NAL and at the close of the week tneEe -
an accumulated excess OF about ~ ue-
prees. The rainfall, however, remains
deficient. except in Grant. Trego, Ness,
Elk and the northeastern countIes'
though fairly good rains have fallen IN
the northern counties.
In the eastern division of the state
farming operations are being vigorously
pushed. Corn planting well along IN the
central counties and has begun in the
northern. Corn is coming up as lar
north as the Kaw river, while in the ex-
IRENE south farmers have begun cult
waiting it The greatest advance, how
ever. Is in the fruit trees and grass; the
orchards are full of bloom and the
prairies are carpeted with green. Wheat
and oats are still looking fine, though
rain is much needed generally.
In the middle division the orchards are
giving fine promise now; much corn Is
going in; wheat still improving some;
oats doing we'll. and gardens growing
nicely. The sand and dirt storm the first
of the week was probably unprece-
denied Il did some damage by blowing
away loose dirt. A good rain is greatly
needed.
West of the east line Of Norton and
Clark counties-the severe wind first of
the week filed the air with the dry
sand and caused considerable damage to
growing crops and fruit blossoms. Wheat
does not yet give much promise and
some fields are being put into other
grains. Oats. barley and grass are max
ing good Roadway, and much stock feed
is being put in in the shape of Kat1r
and Jerusalem corn Fruit here, as
elsewhere, gives abundant promise.

GOOD NEWS For TOPEKA.

opened Soon.
The Stevenson stock may not be sold
after all. George T. Stevenson has
agreed upon a basis of settlement with
most of his creditors and is it extremely
probable that before another week passes
the firm will have its affairs straig htened
out
Last week George T. Stevenson tele-
graphed J. Il. Stevenson. who was the
resident manager of the store. to come
to New York to assist in making a set
Element. Mr.. Stevenson started but soon
after he left telegram was received
asking that he be intercepted as it was
not necessary for him to come and the
matter could be fixed up without trouble.
Mr.. Stevenson was stopped at Chicago
and returned to Topeka yesterday.
The Chicago creditors have all agreed
to the proposed settlement and nearly all
of those in New York have also signed
the agreement The settlement proposed
is on basis of 80 per cent and viii re-
quire over 100000 in money.
If the settlement is made the store
will probably be reopened with little de-
lay.
The assignee has fixed next Friday as
the date for disposin gof the stock to the
highest bidder but the settlement will
make sale unnecessary.

Rock Island Officials Here Believe the

1t seems very probable that the Rock
Island will not continue its experiments
in rain making over this year.
The experiments last year made by
c. B Jewell and his two assistants in three
specially fitted up cars were anything
but successful and it is understood thar
the road which has already spent good
many thousands of dollars in the expert
ments is heartily discouraged.
The officials at Topeka are not thor
oughly posted in regard to the Chicago
Offices intentions, but it is certain that
they have had no instructions that the
experiments will be continued
At this time last year the road in Kan
sas was sgog with preparations for the
rainmaking season and cars were being
built for the purpose. No cars are be-
ing built this year, aud the old cars are

STORY ABOUT II. c. SPEER.

Success Destroyed by Pug Pup and q
Shark.
The Washington correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal tells an interesting
story about how Mr.. H. c. Speer, for
mer Kansan and at one time state super
intendent of instruction, lost money in
an enterprise through pug pup and
caused a railroad to 20 into the hands of
a receiver.
Mr.. Speer about two years ago founded
the Washington & Chesapeake railroad
by which he proposed to establish
short line from Washington across the
state of Maryland to the Chesapeake to
a point where be had discovered fine
spot for bathing beach.
When party of New York bankers
who were put up the money for the road
visited the proposed bathing beach after
the survey was made they pro-
nounced it the finest place yet
discovered, but just before they
were ready to leave for home
a pug pup belonging to one of the mem
bers of the party, went too near the
shore, and a big shark stuck his head
out of the water and the pug was gone.
The owner of the land had neglected
to tell Mr.. Speer that his beach was
shark headquarters, but the pug pup
discovered the secret and the New York
ers did not put up the cash, and the -road
is now in the hands of receiver.
Mr.. George w. Chase, formerly of To-
peka, was associ ted with Mr.. Speer in
this road as general attorney, and this is
said to be the only enterprise they ever
engaged in that failed, and all on ac-
count of pug pup-and the shark.

Some time ago the young ladies at
Washburn college organized themselves
into a literary society called "Panthy-
gaterIan,' or literally ''sll sisters" They
have been meeting in one of the recita-
ton rooms, They planned an entertain
ment to raise money to furnish room OF
their own, and gave it Saturday evening.
1t was the funniest thing ever seen on
the college stage. The early part of the
programme was more serious
Twelve of the young ladies dressed in
their gymnasium suits and decked with
their society ribbon-red-under the di-
recticn of Prof Heine. went through a
very beautiful and charming drill, com
posed of marching, club, dumb bell, and
bar swinging. Then followed a panto-
mime of Miles Standish, of which the
characters we're so we'll adapted to their
roles that they seemed to be saying the
very words. =
On the programme the last number
was Especial attractions! Songs and
choruses by the world-renowned High.

There was cute little roast on nearly
everything that has happened for the
last few months. The debaters were
burlesqued by mock debate upon the
uestion: ''Resolved, That oratory had
greater effect upon Napoleon's second
wife than journalism has upon the coast
of Maine during the last 1000 years"

its comic songs so admirably that the
boys say they will have to come back at
the girls when they sing at the Inter

The Greek play was hit in the "Great

and the part was taken so we'll that
people simply held their sides for laugh

Quite a sum of money was raised
enough to furnish the society room, and

entertainment there will be a premium
