a TRADE TRAIN INTO TOPEKA
A Proposal to Bring Purchasers to This
Town Once a Week

Proposal to Bring Purchasers to This
Town Once a Week.
"Let me suggest something that would
be of inestim bic value to our mer-
chants" said J. D. Salmons of the Wolff
Packing company, to STATE JOURNAL
reporter.
one day each week, low rate excursion
train on each road, that will bring in the
people for a hundred miles from Topeka
in every direction in the morning and
take them back home in the evening.
Let Fridays of each week be 'excur-
sion day to Topeka and there are
thousands of people that will make it
the occasion of q weekly ride, a visi. in
Topeka, and an opportunity 10 buy their
needed supplies here. Country mer-
chants are anxious to get in and trade
with the best and largest Wholesale
houses in Kansas.
Eastern railways run such excursions
weekly for towns half the size of Tope-
ka, and it is a fixed custom there that
pays the railways. If We had a board of
trade or chamber of commerce, as MI.
Hymer recently suggested, it could
readily make arrangements with the
railways, fer the merchants will gladly
cooperate in such movement If mer-
chants and other shippers demand it of
the roads they can get it."
'Another discrimination against To-
peka is the way the roads. with the ex-
ception of the Santa Fe and Rock Islam d
run their trains in and out OF Topeka.
1.-The N. A. & B., L T. & 5. W. and
Missouri Pacific for example run their
single train out in the morning and back
in the evening. 1t ought to be reversed
and allow the merchants and other buy
ers in towns on these lines TO come in in
the morning and leave in the evening.
The man from Eskridge, for example,
must spend three days to do business
with Topeka in person. Those roads are
almost useless to Topeka.

TURNED THE JOKE.

Wilmer Nominated Quick just for Fun
and He Was Elected the Bsrbsrs' Prssi-
dent.
Charley Quick was elected president
of the local BARRIERS union a few nights
ago, and there is joke about it.
}. Brooks, popular young barber,
had been nominated, and no one seemed
to want to run against him. This was no
funi Who ever heard of contest with
only one candidate?
John Wilmer and Quick aren't very
good friends and Wilmer concluded it
would be funny to nominate Quick and
see him writhe.
"You second the nomination" said he
to Bill Nye who sat near him. Quick
won't get more than three votes then if
he votes for himself" and Nys agreed to
it
But when the vote was counted it was
found that Quick had been elected by
just one vote and Wilmer had to run to
keep from setting up box of cigars.

TOLD HIS MOTHER.
Hayward Said to Have Confessed His
Crime the Night of His Arrest.

Hayward Said to Have Confessed His
Crime the Night of His Arrest.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 20.-The impen-
etrable silence that Harry Hayward
maintains regarding his connection
with the crime Tor which he has been
condemned to death, has induced many
people to believe that, perhaps, after all,
he is innocent, and that strange COM
bination of circumstances has con-
spired to send him to the gallows. But
it appears that Hayward himself has
confessed his crime to his mother, who
testified so earnestly for him on the
witness stand.
According to report which emanates
from an entirely trustworthy source,
Mrs. w. w. Hayward is the only per-
son in the world to whom the con-
demned man ever communicated the
fact that he was connected with the
murder Of Miss Catherine Cling. On
the Thursday evening of the arrest Of
the Hayward brothers, when there was
q great deal of excitement, Harry got
considerably excited, and communicated
his fears and apprehensions to his
mother. This was done when the
brothers were at the central police sta
ton. The confession was brought to
her in the shape Of note and was de-
ivered by q friend of Harry's.

Sensation Expected in Whisky Trust In
vestigation.
CHICAGO, March 2O.-It is expected
that the experts will have completed
their examination Of the books of the
whisky trust for the fiscal year ending
March 81, 1892, by the end OF this week.
Their report, it is asserted, will contain
developments more sensational than
any brought to light in the investiga-
ton of the career of the corporation.
These developments will be made the
foundation for suits against certain Off
GERS and directors Of the trust to recover
moneys which will aggregate 81 900, 900
or more. incidentally, it is sald, they
will lay bare the FACTS in the conspiracy
which eliminated in the sale OF the
Shufeldt distillery, and which was
marked during it's progress by attempts
to destroy the distillery with dynamite
and by the arrest Of George j. Gibson,
then secretary of the trust, on a charge
of being implicated in the plot.

Recess job.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The presi-
dent has appointed Alfred D. Tinsley
postmaster at Sioux Falls, S. D. The
Tinsley appointment, which has ex-
cited a great deal Of talk in the senate,
led to sharp conflict between Senators
Pettigrew and Kyle ending in the VIC
tory Of the former, who secured the re-
jecJlon Of the nomination by large
majority in the senate. Senator Petit
CREWS home is in Sioux Falls, and he
made his fight on the ground that Tins
ley was bitter enemy Of his. The re-
appointment OF T4nsley, who will con-
tinue to serve, Notwithstanding this re-
lection Of his nomination, may lead to
all interesting fight over the meaning
Of the phrase in the constitution that
presidential appointments shall be made
with 1.-The advice and consent Of the
senate"

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 20.-The
Danish steamship Horsa is now well out
in the Atlantic Oh her way to Liberia
with her cargo of 997 negroes, ranging
from the infant in arms to old men on
the verge of the grave. The trip down
the Savannah river was made with
songs Of gladness from the decks Of the
steamer and cheers from crowds of ne
groes on many Of the wharves. The
emigrants did not cease singing their
hymn about going back to their father
land until the city had disappeared
from sight, and the entire party re-
manned on deck, which was crowded
with their baggage, until the tug left
them. The emigrants
Carry Extensive Supplies,
including agricultural implements and
stores of seed and have considerable
money. It is believed to be the best
equipped party that has ever sailed for
Africa. They will endeavor to get
about 5000 acres Of land together and
organize a town government Of their
own. There are three ministers with
them and doctor. The first building
to be put up in the country will be

No Longer Any Doubt a. to tho Fate OF I'm"
Cruiser Retna Regents.
CAD1z, March 20. - The Spanish
cruiser Alfonso XII has returned here
after a search for the missing cruiser
Reina Regente and reports having
found the latter vessel sunk near Ba3o

Probably q misunderstanding

WASHINGTON, March 20.-At the agri-
cultural department it is thought there
has cen a misunderstanding Of the ma
ture OF the governors proclamation. 1t
is thought that the proclamation re-
ferred to is the usual one issued about
this time to establish local regulations
in conformity with the regulations
made by the department. to prevent the
introduction of what is known as Texas
fever among Northern cattle. The de-
partment has recently issued its annual
proclamation restricting the trade in
Texas cattle between February and De-
cember. There is no pleuro-pneumonia
in Texas, it is said at the agricultural
department. The department has nu-
merous agents in Texas and receives
frequent reports from them. The dis
ease known as Texas fever does not in
terfere with foreign trade, because no
live cattle so afflicted are permitted to
be exported and the disease cannot be
communicated through slaughtered
beef.

IT WAS THE IRENE
News Of a Spanish Attack on
Another American Vessel
Confirmed. m~
SCHOONER WAS DISMASTED.
Washington Authorities Said
to Have Been Notified of
the Affair.

TAMPA, Fla, March 20.-The steamer
Mascotte arrived here during the even
ing direct from Havana and brought
late reports from the sea- OF revolution.
Copies OF La Lucha confirm the report
of the sinking o. the schooner by the
Spanish gunboat off Puerro Padre, near
Gibara. In the same issue there are re-
ports of the departure of General D.
Jorge Ga1rich and Colonel Santo Gill
dec, with their commands, from
Jiguani and their attack OH the insur-
gents at Los Negros, at which place a
battle was fought This confirms pre-
vious reports. A letter received from
Santiago stated that 30 leading young
men of that place had gone in the field
under command Of a prominent lawyer
named Jomaya. Other letters assert
that in Los Villas the insurgents are rap
idly gaining both
strength and Confidence.
Organized bands are beginning to arise
in different sections of this district, and
especially near Santo Spirito. For two
days uncertain and untraceable reports
have reache, here regarding an Ameri-
can schooner being fired upon by a
Spanish gunboat on the southern coast
of Florida. The steamer brought news
from Key West, which is SAID to be au-
thentic, claiming that the schooner
Irene of Key West had been fired upon
and dismaated by the Maanta Isabella
near Charlotte harbor, after which the
schooner dri;ted ashore, where she now
lies aground south Of the above harbor.
It is generally understood that the
authorities ut Washington have been
notified of it during the day. The
Irene is coasting schooner Of 60 tor .,
commanded by Captain Carballo, and
generally carried crew Of eight.

Commander of the Cruiser Condo dc Vena-
dits Fired on the Alli"nca.
HAVANA, March 20.-The name Of
the Spanish warsh:p that fired on the
American vessel Atliancais now known.
1t is the Condo dc Venadito. The fact
became public when the captain Of the
cruiser reported that he had tried to

a steamer heading off Maysi Point and
shaping her course to the northeast
The cruiser signalled her and the
steamer replied by raising the American
flag. The cruiser again signalled the
steamer to stop, but without effect. AS
the steamer proceeded at full speed the
cruiser first fired two blank shots and
then two solid shot.
Didn't Want to Hit Her.
The commander claims that he did
not desire to hit the steamer, but that
he fired the shots merely to cause her to
heave-to. He asserts that the steamer
was but q mile and half Off the coast
when the firing occurred. The authori
ties here have ordered a full inquiry to
be made into the commanders acts. 1t
is reported here that the Alliance car
ried $4,000 rifles south on her trip before
the one she was fired at. It is also re-
ported that there was landed on the
eastern snore of the island some men
who were passengers Oh the Alliance.
These men. it is reported, were taken
off the Alliance in fishing smacks, the
night preceding the firing.
