SCHOOL LAND TITLE.

In number Al of The UNION we
called the attention of our readers
to the fact that now is the time for
all occupants of school lands to file
their application for the same with
the county Treasurer, he having
blanks, &c, suitable for the work.
Throughout the State the plats of
school sections-which are sections
4, I6, 3a and Sc, in each town
\ shsp in the State,-were filed with
the county Treasures of each conn
xty on or about June a5th of this
year, and the time limit Will expire
Decembek 25th, 1895, but the plats
of school lands in Washington coun-
ty were not filed with the Treasurer
until JulyI3, of this year, SO that
the months time limit will not ex-
pire until January 18th, 1897, but all
occupants OF school lands must have
their applications for the same, filed
prior to those dates or they may be
liable to lose their lands.

Spend your money with those
who advertise in the local paper,
for by so doing you are aiding in
building up your county. Those
who advertise believe in encour-
aging Home Industries, while
those who do not advertise are
only working for the aggrandize-
ment Of self and do little or
nothing, comparatively speaking,
towards encouraging Home institu-
tons.
A lively home paper is made 80
to great extend, by being we'll
patronized, especially financially,
for when there is an income there
is some show to procure aid to
make it lively, for, now days, no
one is willing to lend a helping
hand without a remuneration for
services rendered.

We have invited our farmers to

received a single response, yet
nearly all the farmers in our vicin-

avocation that is worthy of pub
lication.
Our climate and soil j. vastly
different from that in the east,
consequently the modus soperandi
is essentially different; therefore
the majority Of matter contained
in eastern Journals Is not applica-
BILE to this latitude,
We are not able TO pay for ar
ticles, as our patronage thus far
has not given us sufficient means
to meet our current expenses, but
we again extend an invitation to
farmers, our literary men, and all
persons, who desire to see val
liable home paper, to at least con-
tribute all occasional article for
our columns, and we will assure
you that the service Will he app

We also invite al merchants,

if it is but small one, which
show that you are willing to
encourage at least one home en-
terprise that is struggling for an
existence among you.

SMITH SUSTAINED

As the Superfntemdent of the SOL
dIers' Home by Frank Inns RenOmi-
tiOn.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The fight on
Gov. smith, of the Leavenworth Sol
diers' home, was squelched today when
the house military affairs committee re-
nominated Gen. w. B. Franklin as one
of the board of governors. 1t was claim
ed bv opponents of Smith that Franklin
alone was keeping him in his place, SO
they tried to prevent Franklin's renomi-
nation and election.
Congressman Blue was loud in his op-
position to Smith, and said in the cam
paign he would get the old tyrant out.
The board of governors, of which Gov
ernor Morrill, is a member, were unani-
nous in wanting Franklin kept in, the
house committee, therefore voiced their
will The election is made by joint res
olution, and the recommendation of the
committee will almost certainly be justi-
fed.
The other members nominated were
Thomas Henderson of Illinois, G. w.
Steele of Indiana and G. L Beal of
Maine.
The only fight was over Smith at the
Leavenworth home. Frankliu's election
sustained his administration.

TO MEET IN MAY.

Cy Leland to Call the Committee
Then-FavOrs Late State COnVen-
tiOn.
Cyrus Leland, who was in Topeka last
evening, stated that he would call the
state central committee together in May
for the purpose of issuing a call for the
Republican state convention He favors
July or August as a suitable date and
said:
''The Republicans of Kansas need no
pointers from the Populists as to who
should be nominated on their state
ticket. We are going to win with hur-
rah this year in Kansas, and we are old
enough and strong enoughand indepen-
dent enough to put up a winning ticket
without waiting to see what the Pops do
first. So far as l am concerned the date
of the Populist convention will cut no
figure in fixing the date of the Republi-
can convention. Any time from the
middle of July to the 1st of August will
suit me. The national convention will
then be safely out of the way, and the
boys will have had an opportunity to
take their bearings and get rested up
for the state campaign"

Says the ST. Louis Republic of today:
"Ihere is little chance for Secretary
Muckenfuss to fail He has a most in
sidious way of ingratiating himself into
the confidence of the Browns players.
He says that his most successful way of
dealing with players is to give them
what they want This plan proved most
useful in securing BreitensteiD, and he
now proposes to try it Cooley. It's
dollars to doughnuts that Cooley is
full. aedged Browning BY next Monday"

MIR ALDERSON RESIGNS

The Pastor of the First Presby & ri an
Church TO Leave Topeka.
The resignation of Rev. 8 B. Alder
son as pastor of the First Presbyterian
church is in the hands of the church
board and will be acted on Monday night
at its meeting.
For the past year there has been con-
siderable factiOnal dissatisfaction in the
congregation concerning Mr.. Anderson.
The only charge against Mr.. Anderson
at any time was that he was not as able
minister as some of the members thought
the church should have.
The pastor disclaims that this friction
has had anything to do with his resigna-
ton.
"My health is not very good" he said
today, sand felt that needed easier
pastoral l am young man yet and
have no desire to break down with
probable twenty-five years of usefulness
before me.
81 came here four years ago from
Washington Court House, Ohio, not at
my own solicitation, but at the invita-
tion of the congregation. I have done
my best and have reduced the debt of
the church $4,000 during the hardest
times Kansas ever saw.
II have as yet no plans for the future
excepting that shall of course seek
new charge l shall not leave Topeka
Immediately and will be here some
months yet. My farewell sermon has not
been preached"

tai of SIO,OCO,OOO.

BOSTON, March 25.-The American
Electrical Heating corporation which in
cludes all the companies of importance
engaged in the manufacture of electric
heating apparatus has been formed with

cess by a concentration of patents and
capital than have been possible while
they have been widely scattered. To do
this the company will have a capital
stock of $1O,0OOOOO. An issue of $780,
900 fifteen year per cent income bonds
will be made.
OF these securities $s,9OO,OOO stock and
S269, 900 bonds will be used to buy up
for the companies who comprise the cor
poratiou, all patents, processes and de-
vices throughout the country that are be-
lieved to be of value.
Stock amounting to $1,260,OOO and
1921 900 income bonds will remain in the
treasury for future needs. The bonds
will be cumulative after January /, 1898,
and a sinking fund of $4,000 per annum
will be provided.
The companies absorbed by the
new corporation are: New England Elec

State.Senator 4. L. Wilcockson of Oak
ley. Logan county, conducted jack rab-
bit hunt out in his country yesterday, in
which many farmers of two counties took
part.
Their plan of operation was to form
circle of several miles in circumference,
the men being twenty-five feet apart, and
at the discharge of a pistol to begin
a march toward a common center.
When they came together, shoulder to
shoulder. the inclosure formed by their
bodies embraced about five acres, in
which, after the slaughter by clubs,
were strewn the bodies of 5,126 jack
rabbits. 12 coyotes and one lynx. II
This excels in numbers the catch of

IT'S COMING.
Money for the Reunion and Fall
Festival.
Up to Noon Today ST 800 Had
Been Raised.
ALL CLASSES GIVE.
Not Confined to the Business
Men Alone.
Patriotic Young Men Contribute
Five Dollars Apiece.

There are no happier men in Topeka
than the committee which has started out
to raise $4,000 to be used in defraying the
expenses of the reunion and festival next
fall. Their pathway is paved with flow
ers and they are very cordially received,
though Major Tom Anderson said the
committee caught sight of
proprietor of a store disappearing
through the back door as the
committee entered He says that he is
satisfied that the gentleman did not de-
sire to escape the committee, but it only
happened that he was called away as the
committee arrived. We don't believe it
was Topeka man at all. Ii must have
been some visitor from Leavenwortth or
Wichita. Every citizen of Topeka is
proud of his town and isn't afraid to
risk money on the success of the reunion
and festival
Secretary of State Edwards is a most
important adjunct of the committee. If
a man escapes the Straightforward busi-
ness manner of Mr. Greenwald or the
confident air of Major Anderson, he is
sure to fall a prey to the bewitching
smile of Billy Edwards.
The committee is now devoting its
time to the business houses, but every
one In the city Will nave an opportunity
to contribute before the committee will
consider its work done. The contribu-
tions of So will entitle the donor to
badge, which will be a ticket of admis-
sion to all the entertainments held dur
ing the week under the auspices of the
committee of fifteen. Hundreds of
young men in town are going to con-
tribute.
Following is the complete list of sub
scriptions up to noon today and the COM
mittee has hardly got started:
