w. C. t. U. Presents Congress With One
Containing 100000 Names.
WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The National
W. G. T. Q. met here today.
The principal object of the gath :
ering is to call to the at
tention of congress and the pres
ident as strongly as possible
the immense polyglot petition which has
arrived in Washington after journey
around the world, and now il is asserted
bears the signatures of more than 6,O00,-
600 people of all nationalities. This
monster petition is headed as follows:
For God and home and native land:
1t is addressed to the governments of
the world: HonOred rulers, representa-
tives and rulers:
1t says among other things:
ave know that clear brains and pure
hearts make honest lives and
happy homes and that by these
the nations prosper and time is
brought nearer when the world shall be
1T peace. We know that indulgence in
alcohol and opium and in other vices
which disgrace our social lives, makes
misery for all the world, and most of all
for us and our children.
"We know that stlmuiants and opiates
are sold under legal guarantees, which
makes the governments partners in the
| traffic, by accepting as revenue d portion
OF the protiIs, and we know with
! shame that they are often forced by
treaty upon populations, either Ignorant
or unwilling. we know that might do
much, now lett undone TO raise the moral
| one OF society and render vice difficult
I'VE have no power to prevent these
| great inequlties beneath which the
whole world groans, but you have power
to redeem the honor of the nations
from an indeinable completely. Ne
therefore come to you with the united
voice of representative women of every
land, beseeching you to raise the stand
| ard of the laws to that of christian NOR
ais to strip away the safeguards
and sanctions of the state from the
drink traffic and the opium trade and tc
protect our homes by the total pronibi

out all the territory over which YOU

breath away from the plain every day
Republicans who have supposed ever
since election that Colonel J. W. F.
Hughes, the man who defended the Re-
publican Legislature of 1898. would be
given this place, at the head of the
army.
The new adjutant general, Sim Fox, is
practically unknown in state politics, al
though he has been at the head of the
Riley county delegation in the last two
state conventions, and both times gave
the support of his delegation to Major
Morrill, for governor.
In making the announcement of the
appointment this morning Private Secre-
tary Bristow said: "The new adiu.
tant general is an old personal
friend of Governor Morrill,. They were
in the same company, we're messmates
and many times slept under the same
blanket. The appointment is all right"
The appointment was sent to the SEN
ate at the opening of this mornings ses-
sion and was acted on Immediately. The
senators seemed glad to hear the an
nouncement and in less than two min
utes Mr.. Fox was confirmed by unaui-
nous vote in open session.
The friends of Col J. W. F. HUGHES
are not pleased with the appointment. not
that they have any objections to the sue
cessful candidate but because they were
of the opinion the place should have
been given to the man who SO noblv
stood by the Douglass house and who
was endorsed by almost all the Repub-
hcans in Kansas.

FORGOT THEMSELVES.


UnseemIy Language Between Attorneys
the HiIImon Case.
There was lively scene in the United
States court room just after Judge
Thomas had adjourned the Hillmon case
at noon.
S B. Wheat of Leavenworth, one of
the attorneys for Mrs. Hillmon, and W.
G. Hubbell, general solicitor for the New
York Life Insurance company had an al
tercation which would have ended in a
personal encounter if friends had not in
terfered.
While Mr.. Hutchins was conducting
the cross examination CT DR.. Morris, who
was the coroner at Lawrence when the
supposed body of Hillmon was brought
there, Mr.. Wheat said to Judge Thomas,
There is paper we want which is in
the hands of the defendants attorneys,
and which was taken away q month
ago"
Mr.. Hubbell asked: ssTo which deposi-
ton do you refer Mr. Wheat?"
Il did not refer to a deposition" said
Mr.. Wheat, land do not propose 10 iden-
tify it. Ali l know is that it is one of
the files of this case and want it.
The paper in question was then pro-
duced and nothing more was said about
it till court adjourned.
After Judge Thomas had left the court
room Mr.. Wheat and MIR. Hubben en-
gagged in what appeared to be friendly
discussion about the paper in question.
Mr. Rubbell insisting that Mr. Wheat
referred to deposition and Mr.. Wheat
that he did not.
Finally Mr. Wheat said: s'If you say
said deposition, you lie"
That is not the kind of language to
use to a gentleman" responded Mr. Hub
bell

Hubbell: Il demand an apology, sir"
| Wheat: "You are and
you may go to -"
Hubbell-"You have said what allow
no man to say to me-
Hubbell then walked back to the table
and commenced to take off his coat.
Mr. Wheat fairly boiled with anger as
he cried, "Come on"
T. w. Thompson, the bailiff here ran
up to Mr.. Wheat. while Lawyer j. w.
/ Green took hold of Mr.. HubbelL
Just then Mrs. Hillmon ran up to Mr..

'EOh, Mr. Wheat" she said angrily, sdon't t
soil your hands with the little whelp-"

bell
"pIl see you in first" roared
Wheat
The friends of the two men then sue

How the Congress man Obtains Supply

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Some interest
ing evidences of the amount of station
cry congressman draw out of their
legal allowances is shown by the session
accounts that are uow being filed
in the clerks office of the house of rep
resentatives Each representative and
delegate is entitled to 1925 worth of
paper, pens, ink, pencils, ETC., every
session of congress and if he does
not avail himself of the full extent OF
his privilege he can draw the balance in
cash.
This session members have been
unusually fortunate, as there havo
been three separate sessions, emitting
them to an aggregate stationery accoun !.
of 1915. Not bakers dozen havo
taken out their full quota of stationery,
and the great majority have drawn
but a few dollars worth. One of tho
accounts recently filed showed that he
had drawn but 3 cents worth of station
cry during the session, in other ways 53
cents, while quite a number were be-
tween 81 and SO.
Each committee of the house ia EMIT
led to a certain amount of ink, pencils,

avail themselves of this in preference to
the troublesome and more expensive
method of keeping a private supply.

Young Girl Robbed Of Her Hair While

Neigh, Neb., Sept. 24.-This city
has been the scene of one of the most
peculiar crimes in the states history,
and there is no clew to the perpetrator.
The entire family of w. o. Brown has
been worn out with watching at the
bedside of sick child, and when op-
portunity offered, slept more soundly
than usual. When Miss Jenny Brown,
a girl just budding into womanhood,
woke, she discovered during the night
she had been shorn of her principal
charm, by some one who had come in
through the window. When she went
to sleep the night before. she possessed
a beautiful head of hair, which was
the envy of all the women in town.
One-half of it was gone, the thief evil

The palms of my hands were covered, and

burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night would lie awake all night
