STILL CATERWAULING.
Gov. MorrIIPs Life Made Miserable b
the Party Once Seekers.

Gov. MorrIII's Life Made Miserable by
the Party once Seekers.
Governor Morrill, is still having
trouble about the distribution of the
offices which are being vacated by the
Populists
A large amount of the governors
trouble is being caused by the Sixth dis
trict Republicans, WAC say they are get
ting left all around, but the latest freak
is the kick that is being made on the
proposed appointment of a Sixth district
man-eenator Wilcockson-as a member
of the state board of charities.
Yesterday afternoon Webb McNall
called on Governor Morrill, and asked
him if it was true that he was going to
appoint Senator Wilcockson.
The governor said he had not prom
ised TO appoint him.
"Wen, aren't you going to appoint
him?" asked McNall
Governor Morrill, wanted to know why
such a question was asked, when Nc
Nall told him that the story was being
circulated by those close to the throne
that United States Senator Baker had re-
quested the appointment of Senator Will
cOckson, as a favor to him, as reward
for the part Willcockson took in the SEN
atorial fight.
The governor admitted that Senator
Baker had made such request, and said
that as it was the only request Senator
Baker had made, he was considering it.
Representative Andrews of Phillips
county is mad because Cy Leland and
John Schilling had promised the place
on the board of charities to him for
Major Drumwieler of Logan county, and
Captain R P. Mcknight Of Logan coun-
ty wanted the place himself
Governor Morrill, has not yet announced
the appointment of this member of the
board of charities, but it is said the place
will be given to Senator Willcockson.

no ExCELLENCY HERE.
The Title Is Never Correctly Applied
in America.

in America.
ellis Excellency," or ''Your Ex-
cellency," as applied to the governor
of state or to the president of the
United States, is term still in too
common use. 1t is incorrect, i'm
proper, vulgar and mark of ignor-
ance. There is no law or commend
able custom to justify it, and it is in
absolute discord with the spirit of our
institutions. Many people are mis-
taken as to what is required of them
in addressing person holding the
digniied Office of president or gov
ernor. Those having greaU favors to
ask, such as the pardon of friends
from the penitentiary. are apt to
adopt the obsequious style of begin
ming their petition to a governor for
example,; but the governor who allows
his fancy to be tickled by being ad-
dressed as ''Your Excellency" isn't
fit to be on the board of governors of
q fishing club.

GENTRY STILL AT LARGE.
Officials Unable to Find the Murderer of
Madge YOrkc.

Officials Unable to Find the Murderer of
Madge YOrkc.
NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-Inspector Nc
Laughlin has his best men out looking
for Gentry, who murdered Madge Yorke,
the actress, at Philadelphia Sunday last.
The police feel sure that Gentry is in
hiding in this city.
Theman Gentry is now about 80 years
old. He is sallow and stopped. and is
far from good looking. He has scar
under his left eye. Even his speech is
unpleasant, as he talks with a strong
nasal twang not usual in a native of so
southern a place as Richmond, Va.
1t appears that he has been an actor
for fifteen years or more, never very sue
cessful, never rising above a third rate
low comedian or low comedy parts He
was an agreeable companion aud was
well liked by his brothers in the pro-
fession. 1t was about three years ago
that he met this young woman whom he
murdered Sunday night.

An African Snake Story.

Near the ostrich farm of Mr.. Mallerby,
in Cape Colony, large black snake was
recen tly killed. As it appeared unusually
fat in proportion to its length it was cut
open. Inside it was found yellow snake
almost as long as itself. Inside the yellow
snake was found a good sized black snake
in which were 30 eggs, each of which con-
tanned a young snake, apparently not
much the worse for its temporary entomb-
ment. This makes, therefore, a total of So
snakes inside one snake.-New York Trib-
Una.

NATIONAL DAY FOR LEE.
If LincOIn's Birthday He Made a National
Holiday So Must Lees.

Holiday SO Must Lees
RICHMOND, Va, Feb 19-The Rich
mond state says this afternoon editor
tally:
The suggestion is being made in some
northern papers that the birthday of
Abraham Lincoln be made a national
holiday. This suggestion is in the way
of a tribute to an Am Elcan who was
made famous by the great civil war.
The best qualities were given promi-
nence by that tremendous conflict.
When congress takes up this bill,
however, it will be in order for some
southern congressman to end by insert
ing after the name of Abraham Lincoln
the name of Robert E. Lee.
what is the object of national holidays
on the anniversaries of the birth of great
men? Such are meant not only as trib-
utes to the illustrious dead, but as lessons
to coming generations who can be bene-
fitted by their examples. The life of
Lee affords such an example as we'll as
the life Of Lincoln.
Furthermore, the making of a nat
!onal holiday must be the work, not of
the people of one section, but of the en-
tire country. 1t must be the voice of the
people of this time and not by the
voice of people of our civil war time.
If Illinois and what was called the
north ask that Lincoln's day be nation
al day, then Virginia and what was
known as the south ask that Lees be a
national day. If the north is also to unit e
in that section in doing national tribute
to Lincoln, then the south can with
equal propriety ask little tribute to its
Lee"

JUDGE WOOD TALKS.
Tells Why He Revokes Six Druggists
Permits in Topeka.


Probate Judge Wood yesterday after
noon served notice on six druggists in
Topeka that their permits to sell inUoxi-
eating liquor had been temporarily sus
pended and summoning them to appear
before him on March 1st and show why
they should not be revoked altogether.
The six druggists SO notified are NJ.
Weightman, ir5 Edward Streicher of
Holmes drug store, George Flad of the
Sim Drug company, ]. E. Schneibly and
P NJ Sheafor, Klingaman's drug store,
and W. D. Woodford of Kane's drug
store.
In speaking of his action today Judge
Wood said: This was not done through
any but the best motives in accordance
with the law in the case. | am here to
enforce the law, and near as l am able
to do it, it shall be done. The law says
that no person shall barter and the part
ners of these druggists are barterers
without having permit to. So long as
the partner has no permit he
cannot legally share in the pro-
fits. If they can succeed in prov
ing that they are conducting their BUSH
ness in perfectly legal way, shall re-
issue the permits. So far as the rest of
the drug stores in town are concerned,
or far as l am able to find out about
them. believe they are all right l
don't propose to have any violations of
the law, if l can help it, while am in
office"

time in the work of designing a soldiers
and sailors monument to be erected by

artistic effect in the work as an entirety,
but the commissioners refused to permit
this and Mr.. Nc Monnies refused to go on.

The DefeatKof the Governmental Party

The DefeatKof the Governmental Party
in Britain Narrowly Averted.
LONDON, Feb. 19-There. is much Cos
sip in political circles today, owing to
the fact that Lord Rose berry, the prime
minister, this forenoon. hastily sum-
moned meeting of the cabinet The
measures taken to summon the ministers
were rather extraordinary. Messengers
were dispatched in cabs to the Offices or
residences of the different ministers. and
all came to the meeting, which lasted
fully an hour.
The precarious condition of the party,
as shown by the recent narrow majorities
on various questions in the house of
commons and the fact that Lerd Rose
berry had long conference at Bucking-
ham palace Yesterday afternoon with the
queen, soon after her arrival from the
Isle of Wight, and held a long confer
ence with the whips of the Liberal party
today, all serve to increase the rumor
that there is a dissolution of parliament
imminent
For several minutes last evening when
the vote was being taken in the house of
commons on Sir William Harcourt's mo-
ton to close the debate on the address in
reply to the queens speech. it was con-
tidently believed by the members
that it would be found that
the government was defeated when
the vote was announced. In the
crowded Hobbies of the house it was
impossible to ascertain how the voting
was going, but when the division was
nearly over a whisper was circulated
that the government was defeated.
The loudness of the cheers with which
the liberals greeted the announcement
of the figures, showed the extent of their
lxiety, which was apparently we'll jus.
titled, aslthe vote was 279 to 271, giving
them but eight majority.
