AT EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS.
It is Said the Right Kind Of Appli-
cants are Scarce.

cat least 80 per cent of the orders II

not enough people apply for positions
said a person today who runs an en-
ployment agency. People say there is
no work to be had. but the fact is we
have more places than people.
some of those who apply viii not
take the places offered them because
they have to so out of town. One girl
who has an AGED mother to support
was secured a home where both she
and her mother could live and she
would be paid s. a week beside. but she
refused because she didn't like to go
TO the country, she said.
Other positions we have are in rail-
way eating houses. and it is laughable
TO hear the excuses some of the appli-
cants give for not wanting to go far
from home They think, I presume,
that If they can get a job in one of
these eating houses no further away
than Mcfarland they can easily get
back to Topeka if they are found to be
incompetent.
There is a great deal to be said in

people are out of employment is be-
cause they don't want wOrk-at least

TROUTMAN MORE VOTES
In Resubmission Strongholds in 1894
Than Governor Morrill, Himself

The Newton Republican explOdes the
theory of the Morrill, supporters hat
TrOutman could not be elected if nom
mated by analyzing the result of the
vote on governor and lieutenant gov
ernor two years ago, as follows.
In 1894 James A TrOutman received
more votes than Governor Morrill, in
Wichita, Atchison, Kansas City and
other resubmissiOn strOnghOlds. In
eight counties in the state the vote for
Morrill, and Troutman was the same.
In sixteen counties Morrill, led Trout
man, and in eighty-one counties Trout
man received more votes than Morrill,.
Morrills plurality in the state was 30
36S. Iroutman's plurality was 35, 536. If
all the opposition vote for governor had
been combined Morrill, would have been
defeated by 1888. If all the opposition
vote to Troutman had been combined
he still would have been elected by a
clear majority of 1858. Troutman viii

at the November election than any
man the party can nominate for gov

ADDRESSED COLORED MEN.
Susan B. Anthony Makes a Plea for
Suffrage.

San Francisco, May "a good-sized
congregation greeted Miss Susan B.
Anthony at the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion church on Stockton
street, near Sacramento. After the
customary devotional exercises the vet
eran suffra gist ascended the pulpit and
spoke for about an hour.
This pulpit, commenced Miss An
thony, was once the place from which
the great Starr King swayed the minds
and hearts Of men by means of his
brilliant eloquence and noble piety
This grand man I knew in Boston. He
was a great battIer for equal rights.
How gloriously he stood up for the
victims of oppression
Thirty years ago I told the cOlOred
women and men Of Kansas that the
time was coming when they would
have to vote. So far as the black men
We're concerned my prophecy came
true. Let US hope that the prophecy I
voice today may come true in its en-
tirety- Women of California, black
and white, I tell you you are going to
get the vote here in your own state.
When the day comes use your power
rightly. The black man has proved his
ability to make a. right use of the cleo
tive privilege. Can we believe that
woman, black or white, is inferior to
the negro, only recently let loose from
slavery2
Now I have one petition to present
to you coIOred men. I beg YOU when
you approach the polls at the coming
election to mark your tickets in favor
of woman suffrage"

1T is A SMART DOG.
An Intelligent Pointer that Leads a
Blind Man Around.

There is a blind man in Topeka with
a dog which is an example of the faith
fitness of animals
The man plays an accordion on street
corners and he is piloted around the
streets by the dog. which is a hand
some pointer. There is a collar around
the neck of the dog to which a string
is attached. The animal keeps the
string perfectly taut except when ap-
preaching a curb. and then he drops
back and slackens it to let his master
know that he must step down from the
walk.
When the dog sees a crowd of people
he makes his way toward them and
when within convenient distance he
stops and puts his fore feet on the
blind mans shoulders to indicate
place to stop and have his master re-
move the cord. The faithful animal
then stretches himself at his master
feet while he plays. When the man is
done he gives a low whistle and the dog
again places his fore feet on his mas
ter's shoulders, the leading cord is
again adjusted and they move to an
other place
