HAD VARIED LIFE.

Representative Street Has Been Scout,
Cowboy, Editor, Politician and Far
mer.
Representative Street of Decatur, who
would have probably been the Populist
nominee for speaker if they had had
any, has had one of the most varied ca
reers of any man in the house. He has
been freighter on the plains, scout, COW
boy, trapper, surveyor, editor, farmer and
politician. He was with Custer on his
Texas campaign and knew Wild Bill
very we'll. He began his Kansas life in
1867 as freighter and has wound up by
being in the legislature the last two ses-
sions. They tell story on him, that
when he began to edit a paper he said:

Elk Gov. Crawford resigned his office
to take command of. This regiment and

Texas to rescue two white women
who had been taken captive by the In

asked to carry dispatches for Maj

troops pursuing the Indians, from Fit

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
So Says Judge Wood Of the Pro-
bate Court.
RESULT OF HIS STRICT MEASURES

Is That the Business OF Several Part
nerships HaveBeen Placed in single
Hands.
There is a general scramble among the
Topeka druggists who had their permits
to sell liquor revoked by Probate Judge
Wood, to do something to soften the
heart and remove the objections of that
functiOnary.
N. Weightman, who is one of the
druggists that came under Judge Woods
ban, has succeeded in having his permit
renewed, but the others have not been so
fortunate Mr.. Weightman says that he
purchased the interests of Mrs. Redden
and the other partners in his store so that
he is now the sole owner, and as he is q
registered pharmacist, his permit was re-
stored for that reason.
There has also been a change in the
firm of Sims Bros. George Flad, one of
the members of the firm, held til per-
NIT, and it was revoked because all the
members Of the firm were not p harma-
clsts. b. I. Sims has purchased all the
stock in the firm and the articles of in
corporation have been withdrawn and
Mr.. Sims has applied for permit in his
own name.
Mr. Flad said: ave have no quarrel
with Judge Wood and no fault to find
with him. He did what he considered
his duty under the law, and we have
acted accordingly. B. F. Sim and my
self have sold our interests in the firm
and E. 7. Sim is now the sole owner.
The sale is bona fide and l am looking
for something to do.
"People generally have a mistaken
idea about these permits. We would
have been perfectly willing to have sur
rendered our permit if all other druggists
had done the same. Il is essential that
the store has a permit only to hold the
here to have prescription filed, and il
1t calls for alcohol or spirits, we cannot
I'LL 1t, and he naturally goes some place
else, and we Lose his trade. If it wa:
only on account of the liquor selling
alone we would not care for a permit
but we lose other trade, and so we need
one"
w. R Kennady, who has the new drug
store in the hotel Throop and was re.
fused permit by Judge Wood, has ap
pealed his case to the district court He
thinks that Judge Wood is doing him Al
injustice.
"Ihe only reason he gives for moi
giving me a permit" said Mr.. Kennady
lis that I am located here in the hotel
E1-Prooat9 Judge Elliott went to him
and told him that there had never been
any complaint about me when l was or
the other corner, and s. 7. Howe and tn,
best people in the city went to Judg.
Wood and asked that he grant me q per
NIT and assured him that | would no
abuse the privilege, but it did no good
he said he would not give me a PERM

only as 1t was the cause of driving othe
trade away

RUN BY REPUBLICANS.
The Populist Senate Had q Republican
Majority Last Night.


Majority Last Night.
The Kansas senate, although Populist
by big majority, was controlled by the
Republican members last night Sena-
tors Sterne and McTaggart, both Repub-
licans, formed the majority, and Senator
Leedy, who was the only Populist
present, constituted the minority
Senator Sterne introduced resolution
which was adopted, extending the use of
the senate chamber to the appellate court
when it meets in Topeka The question
puzzled the city authorities somewhat,
and Senator Sterne's resolution was re-
lief. inasmuch as the law provides that
if any city where the court is booked to
sit fails to provide ample quarters, the
court may go to some other town where
it will be better treated. 1t is safe to
assume that the court will not have other
such excellent quarters in Kansas, as the
senate chamber at Topeka.

REGISTERING RAPIDLY
But Not Rapidly Enough to Secure .
Full Registration.


Only 500 women have registered to
vote at the coming city election. but
there is something of a boom in the
registration of the male voters, and as
many as $50 have been registered in one
day. The total number is still much
smaller than it should be as only 1850
men have taken out registration certifi-
Gates. This increased registration is a
sign of growing interest, but the voters
will have to take still greater interest
if they all expect to vote for the best
men at the coming city election. AS
many as 5000 men and 1900 women
have registered to vote in Topeka, and
it would now be impossible to register a
like number before the time for closing
the registration books on March 90
II the people of Topeka are not care
full they may find the city administration
in the hands of the politicians. so don't
neglect to register before it is too late.

THE PARDON EVIL.

Argument for the Abolition of That
Vicious Institution the Pardon Board.
The Ellinwood Advocate says: Gov
ernor Morrill, inaugurates Republican re.
form for Barton county by granting a
pardon to that prince of thieves, perjurer
and forger, o. B. Wilson, who was sent
to the penitentiary from this county by
the court for term of seven years [later
information says the court has since said
that he should have been given double
the sentenced In granting this pardon,
Gov. Morrill, overrides Judge and jury
and turns this dangerous man loose
among honest people, to again swindle
widows, orphans and men out of a life's
long saving.
1t will be remembered that Mrs saur
lost her farm adjoining this city, which
was her all, through the low down Gun
ming and vile treachery of this man Will
son.
During Ex-Governor dwellings, ad-
ministration a petition was circulated
asking that o. B Wilson be pardoned
but after acquainting himself with the
facts in the case Mr.. Lewelling refused
to grant it And now without a petition
from the officers or leading citizens of
Barton county, this sham reform GOV
ernor sets at naught the will of the PEG
pie and the decree of the court and
grants an unconditional pardon.
Shame upon such actions.

LONDON, June 10 There was large
and enthusiastic gathering at the meeting
yesterday in the City Temple Of the Brit
ish Woman's Temperance association.
Miss Florence Balgnrnis accused Miss
Willard, president of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union OF America, OF
being an apo!oyiss for the lynchings in
the southern parts OF the United States.
But both Miss Willard and the American
Woman's Christian Temperance union
were amply exonerated from the charges.
Miss Willard made n spirited defense of
herself and Of the union and was ably
seconded by other delegates. A resolu-
tion was CT vicd unanimously declaring
that the council emphatically believed
that the American Woman's Christian
Temperance Union maintained toward
the lynchinS question the same attitude
as other Christian bodies, namely, that
under no circumstances must human life
be taken without process of law. Lady

is short according to a hurried examina-
tion of his books SIS, 3SS CD. As soon as
the fact came out Bclln disappeared,
leaving a note to his family saying that
the hour had come for him to die. since
he was disgraccd. The boEdsmen start
cd the police to looking for tho man as
soon as he disappeared, suspecting that
he was endcavorins to get way. Last
night he was located in suburban road
house, drunk. He was heavily armed,
and when the officers appeared he at
tempted to draw revolver with which
be declared ho intended to end his life,
but he was prevented.
He is now in his bondsmen's hands
They assert that they will give him n
chance and will settle his shortage in full.
1t is claimed that he was intoxicated for
days at n time and neglected the business
of his Office, leaving it to his deputies.
Bolln has been dealing largely on tho
board of trade, and his ventures in that
line have been generally disastrous.
Bolln admitted that he had drawn from
the cash account, and thought the de-
flciency could not be more than SO 900.
He had but little, TO say concerning what
had led to his peculiar condition.
City Comptroller Ciascn has completed a
hurried checking up OF Bolln's accounts.
The result indicated there was shortage
of S15,3SS 90. Bolln claimed, however,
that the shortage was covered by a certifi-
cate of deposit. The amount given out
as the actual shortage represents the
money which had bcen taken from the
cash drawer, and which tabled with the
tickets deposited as memorandum.
