PETER IN WASHINGTON.
The Kansas Senator Believes He Win
be Returned

washington. Nov Senator Pe1er
81. Kansas came to Washington yester-
dav. He has followed his rule to be the
first senator in Washington before the
body meets. As soon as he votes in the
autumn. he says, he buys a railroad
ticket for the capital and passes the
time here, getting ready for senatorial
Ia-bors.
His reelection, he thinks, is assured
bv the overwhelming majority Of the
Populists in the Kansas legislature The
senator had telegram yesterday after
nonn informing him that there would be
a majority Of 140 ballots
'eThe opposition to me-" said Mr. PEI
fer. will be entirely of a personal ma
ture. Some of our people Will present
the name of Col. W. A. Harris of Lin
wood. a farmer Of some note, formerly
congressman large from Kansas. The
name Of c. NJ. Munger, also a prominent
farmer. who was once in business at
Chicago, will also go before the legis-
Iature fol. senator All are good men
for senator, as well qualified as myself,
axcep+ thew are without the six years
of experience. p
Mr.. Peffer does not believe that there
will be any deal with the Democrats as
happened when Senator Martin was
elected.
The election of Mckinley was no sur
prise to Senator PETER. He says that
the large electoral vote OF the eastern
states was assured to the Republicans
while the territory between the Ale
ghenies and the Mississippi was deba-
table ground, with chances much
against Nr Bryan.
Frank Doster. the newly elected chief
Justice of Kansas, accredited with pro-
nounced socuaHstic views, Senator PET
fer says will be an honor to the bench
He denies that Judge Doster, whom ne
knows we'll is a. socialist The judge,
as Senator PETER puts it. takes up with
the under dog in the fight and stands
for aNan-handed Justice to all classes.

TOPEKA COAL co. GETS IT.
Southwestern Fuel Company Award
ed Contract for Penitentiary Coal

The action of the board of penitenti-
ary directors yesterday in awarding the
contract for the surplus output of coal
to the Southwestern Fuel company,
which is controlled by the Santa Fe
railroad company, is apt to make trOu-
bic for the present state administration
The coal operators claim to have Sc
cured a promise from Gov. Morrill, some
time ago that the contract for the sur
plus output of the penitentiary mines
would not be awarded to any coal mine
operators in Kansas or any other state
The promise is said to have been given
tiOnS who protested because such an
award would bring the miners of the
state to level with convict labor.
A dispatch to Kansas City paper
from LeavenwOrth tells the following
story of the award of the contract:
prior to the award this morning the
miners pleaded with the board, as did
Bennet Brown, state mining superin-
tendent. The latter begged the board
for humanity's sake not to give the
contract to the Southwestern Fuel com
pany or any other coal opera tors, eS-
pecially at the figures named in the bid
S116 per ton for lump, S1-11 for CRATE
and so cents for nut The board ad-
jOurned until o'clock taking the mat
ter under advisement,' and when it re-
convened the announcement of the
award was made. 1t will be recalled
that a. year ago the same board refused
the contract to a local mining company
q very nlSu price 4l.45. because 1t
was not the policy of the state admin
istratiOn to have convict mined coal
placed in the market by a company
that was employing free labor.
1T permitted the contractor Oliver
S. Hiatt, to continue for two months at
the existing rate OF S1.25 per ton and
later awarded the same, at even a low
er figure, to 0. S. Hiatt. The latter fail
ed on his contract, and has now a claim
against the state for s. 600 for unmark-
etable coal furnished him
Following this failure an Arkansas
City man named Hughes, who halls
from the same place in which Chairman
Eckert lives, was given the opportunity
to secure the coal at the price at which
Hiatt failed w hen the time fell due
this year to make the award in the reg
ular way, the opposition to the low
price offered was so strong that the
state officials at Topeka promised to
stand by the free labor Of the state, and
again new bids were called for.
The last bids are even lower than
all former bids. 1t is understood that
the board had its instructions from To
peka, and the adjournment today after
a protest was made to the award, was
a blind, so as to make the opposition
believe that their protest was being
considered.
"A B. Havens & Co. of this city had
a bid before the board for sL1Z per ton,
and A. T. Hughes OF Arkansas City for
so cents per ton Colonel Brown Of
southern Kansas bid $101. He repre-
sented syndicate composed OF Brown,
Hiatt & Cox

WILD ANIMALS ESCAPE.
One Of Barnum & Baley's LionCauses
Their Keepers a Scare.

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. Fritz, one
of the big circus lions. raised a rumpus
at the winter quarters here today and
gave the keepers a scare A nylghau
which had also escaped made it lively
for the men for a few minutes.
The Barnum & Bailey and the Buffa-
10 Bill shows have just come in from
Chicago. The work of unloading and
transferring the animals to their dens
inside the quarters is in progress A
nylghau got its liberty in the big room
in which the lions. tigers and other To-
rocious beasts are kept. There was a
great commotion. The big den wagon
in which Fritz, another lion named
Bill and the Iioness Nellie are kept
stood in the room The nylghau was
captured after a short but lively strug-
gle.
Then the lion got loose. Keeper Kelly
had removed the fastening on the rear
of the cage to place Fritz in the trans
fer box The lion made a dash for lib
erty and bounded into the room. The
keepers sought safe places, not caring
to come into too close contact with the
beast. COnklin, the elephant man, let
a pack of great Dane dogs into the
room and they made for the escaped
lion. The animal was ugly and it laid
one Of the brutes low with a blow from
its huge paw and two others We're bad
ly scratched With the aid of the hounds
the keepers drove the lion back into his
cage

up to the supreme court from the court
of appeals. which decided that the judg-
ment in the case under consideration
could not be taxed The supreme court
affirmed the Judgment OF the court OF

question as to whether such judgments
can be taxed where the tax proceed
inegs are regular was left undetermined.
In this particular instance lne poafo OF
county commissioners simply assessed
the county tax against the Judgment
creditor without any notice to MIN or
without listing the Judgment as being

holds their proceedings were Iatally r.
regular. and so the tax could not be

BETTERS FLIMFLAMMED.
When They Got Their Stakes They
We're Nothing but Paper.

Monticello, III, Nov. THE betting men
of this city are mourning because the
money which they thought they had Won
on the result of the election has turned
out to be worthless paper. A man named
Lucas worked a great game of f1imham.
Early in the campaign Mr. Lucas began
hunting bets and taking the Bryan end as
fast as he found the takers.
The money was enclosed in an envelope
and then Lucas suggested that it be de
posted in the bank with instructions to
the bankers to turn over the envelope to
the winner. About $500 was put up in this
way. On Wednesday. Mr.. Lucas disap-
peared. As soon as he was missed the
men who had bet with him went to the
bank to obtain their money. When the
envelopes were opened they were found
to contain nothing but paper. 1t IS sup
posed that the envelopes were changed on
the road to the bank by Lucas, who al
ways carried them.

IA STUDENTS EXPELLED.
They Built a Mckinley Bonfire When
Told Not To.

Worcester. Mass, Nov. Fourteen
more students have been indefinitely sus-

institute and it is expected that a great
many more suspensions and expulsiOns
viii be made today The trouble has aris-
en- over a bonfire built upon the field used
for athletic purposes Ia celebration Of
McKinley's victory and which had been
forbidden by President AIendenhau. The
direct cause of today's suspensions, how
ever is owing to the refusal of the stu
dents to sign a paper drawn up by the
president in which it was stated that the
signers had no part in the fire.
The claim Of the students is they built
the fire not as Tech men but as citizens,
that the fire was not upon institution
property. that no damage was done and
that In consequence the institute author
tiles had no Jurisdiction over them

Colonel Wood turned around in aston
ishment, but he did not realize where
the report came from until he saw the
pocket of the coat on fire.
A half dozen men in the office rushed
toward Wood supposing he had been
shot but he stood behind the counter
smiling placidly- A search revealed
the fact that the ball had gone up
ward and into the ceiling, but it was
several minutes before every one felt
easy

leaders held their ground and they We're
