R. B. WEIGH, who first became
famous by telephoning the Santa Fe
during the legislative war two years
ago to "Send up the shop men," and
who convulsed the Republicans Of
Belle PLANE and Oxford last fall
with his feTvor for the grand old
party, "did some work against state
uniformity and in the interest of the
American Book company" says the
Topeka Journal, at the meeting OF
the Topeka school board the other
night. He introduced and secured
the passage of a resolution request
ing the Shawnee county representa-
tives and senator's to work and vote
against any and all of the state uni
formity and district ownership bills
which are now pending before the
legislature"

POpulism seems to be an acknOwl-
edged failure as a new party project.
Mrs. Lease recently said: 1.-THE POpu-
list party will never again ascend to
power in Kansas" and accordingly she
is leaving the state. In a lecture in
Baltimore a few days since Jerry
Simpson said that he agreed with the
POpuliSt party in few of its leading
doctrines but that he disagreed with
it in many other important doctrines.
Mail.
1t is fair to presume that in both
these instances the real utterances
have been twisted out of all sem
blauce Of truth. No student OF the
times will deny that Populism is
stronger today than it evef has been,
and Mrs. Lease and Jerry Simpson
are two of its warmest friends.

Washington Monument II Very Frequently

Washington Monument II Very Frequently
struch W 18th Lightning.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Washington monument at the ma
tional capital has once again demonstrate
ed its apprent invulnerability to ordinary
attacks of lightning. 1t has been struck
several times by discharges Of atmos-
pheric electricity without sustaining any
material damage. due, probably. to the
fine system of lightning arresters with
which the shaft is provided. AS Is well
known. the apex of the shaft is capped
with a small pyramidal block of elum-
inium, and up to Wednesday morning
last that cloud-piercing point has escaped
the heavenly bolts of electricity that
have almost constantly played around
and about the tall white column of mar
BILE. On that morning the city was visit
ed by a heavy thunderstorm, accom-
panied by many stroks of lightning, and
one of the most vivid of these struck
the aluminium point. The impact was
followed by a ball of fire shooting down
the lightning rods and disappearing in
the earth.
The visitation caused considerable ex-
element at the time. which was not al
layed until II was ascertained that no
casualties or serious results of any kind
had occurred. The matter was reported
to Colonel Wilson. the engineer officer in
charge of the monument. and the alum
inium point was inspected as well as
could be done with the aid of powerful
field glasses, and found to be wholly
intact and unframed. The only way
in which this belief can be thoroughly
established, however. is by personal in
spection of the natal. and this can only
be done by sending rigger up the out
side of the shaft to its extreme tip, $50
feet from the ground.

Alderman Wallkup moved that the
contract be awarded to jacobson &

of the bond as required by the specifi-
cations. The motion was seconded by
Alderman Cox and prevailed unani-
mousy.
The successful bidders presented a
certified check for 1000, which they
endorsed to the city as a guarantee of
good faith. The firm consists of John
jacobson, Con A. Rasvold and 7. r..
Jensen. They are comparatively new
men in competition in this line. at least
in contracts of such magnitude. They
are, however, commended as good and
efficient workmen. They have proven
their ability to figure and were gener-
ally congratulated upon their good for

The bidding was very close and 1t IL

Co.'S bid, S21 ,424, brings the cost of the
building complete. $24, 800, by $50 under
Architect Lanes guarantee to the

In addition to the $4,000 bond re-

electricians, timers and steamfitters to
whom they award sub-contracts, will
be required to give $500 bonds each as
security that their work will hold good
for one year after completion.
With such precautions as have been
taken in every step towards the cree
ton of this institution Anaconda is
assured of a city hall that will be well
built and an ornament to the city.
