Daily Paper in TOpeka-WhO's.F For
Sale to the Liquor POwer3
The National Brewers association
which is to meet in Chicago January II,
the same day the national Democratic
committee is to convene, is expected to
arrange for a resubmission campaign in
Kansas.
The National Brewers association is
interested in extending its trade espe-
cialiy in opening up prohibition states for
open traffic.
The recent interview of Governor Nor
rill in which he declared that prohibl-
ton is a failure and announced himself
in favor of the Gutenberg system and
the announcement made by ex-Chlef
Justice Horton after election that he be-
lieved prohibition has had its day In
Kansas are taken by the brewers as an
indication that the time is ripe for
them TO make fight to reestablish the
saloon in Kansas.
The resubmission leaders around the
larger cities in the state have taken
pains to urge upon the brewers the i'm
portance of the statements made by
Governor Morrill, and Judge Horton,
and it is now understood that plans have
already been made for the brewers to
put money into the coming campaign in
this state in the interest of resubmission.
1t is said that one of the first moves OF
the resubmissionists will be to get con-
troll of a daily paper in Topeka.

WORK TO BEGIN MARCH |.
The New Bridge Expected to Go
Ahead Then.
NO SUPERINTENDENT IS NAMED.

Two More Applicants for tho Posi-
tiOn-The Plans Will Be Done By the
Middle of This Month.
The question of who shall be super
intendent of the new bridge is becoming
more complicated. The com issioners
refused to make the appointment yester-
day contrary to expectation and it is now
probable that no one will be appointed
until a superintendent is really needed.
Two new applications from Topeka
have been received. One is from II. l..
Tromp, the superintendent OF the new
court house. and B. 3. Bowen, who has
been experimenting the erection large
buildings in Omaha and other cities, but
whose home is in North Topeka.
Mr. Bowen proposes to do the work
and furnish one assistant for $175 a
month. Mr.. Hinckley's proposition wah
at 4 per cent of the contract price aud
Colonel Tweeddale proposed to do the
work for 21a per cent of the contract
price. 1t is said that the law allows the
commissioners TO appoint some one at a
stipulated salary and that the PROPOSE
tions of Colonel Tweeddale and Mr..
Hinckley are therefore irregular They
may, however, be modified to meet the
| requirements of the law.
! As far as a superintendent is concern
| ed there is absolutely no use OF appoint
| ing one for a month or two at least, be-
cause there would be nothing for him to
do until the work on the bridge is &C
tually commenced. The plans are to be
! approved by an engineer of national rep
| utation, to be selected by the commits
sioners, and SO there will be nothing to
| do until "a force of men is put to work.
! Word has been received from the firm
| of Keepers & Thacher that they are
| pushing the work on the bridge
| plans rapidly, and that they will
probably be completed by the mid
| die of the present month. Then
| there will be an interval of at least thirty
! days before the contract can be let &C
there is little hope that work on the
bridge can commence much before
| March /.
Elk City Engineer VIM. Tweeddale has
completed the preliminary surveys of the
river and the drawings and other data
have been forwarded to Detroit where
the plans are being made.

WAS 1T MURDER?
Four Boys MysteriOusIy Burned to DeatE
Near Frontenac.

Near Frontenac.
PITTsBURG, Kan. Jan, between 10
and IL o'clock last night near Frontenac,
four of the McFayden brothers were
burned to death in their house while
asleep.
Six brothers live in a cottage there,
but two had gone to visit relatives. At
the time above mentioned two employees
of the Santa Fe Coal company, discov-
cred the house to be in flames, but the
fire had gained such Roadway it was
impossible to save much of the building.
When the two absent brothers arrived,
they said the other four were in the
house, and as soon as an investiga-
ton could e made the bodies of Robert
McFayden, aged IS; John, aged 10;
William, aged ~, ald Archie, aged IL,
were found, their limbs being burned
from their bodies. Portions of their
clothing were found still sticking to
their bodies, which was evidence that
they had not yet retired. All four bodies
were found lying on their backs, and
there are very many who think that
murder had been committed,

w. w. GAVITT INDIGNANT.



W. w. Gavitt. president of the Gavitt
Medical company is indignant because
several of the Topeka druggists are pay
ing no attention to their orders. When
their remedy known as Gayitts Cough
Balsam was placed on the market for
this week at great reduced price Ia so
cent bottle for 10 cents) the druggists
had strict orders not to sell more than
one bottle to each purchaser at that
price.
MIR. Gavitt speaking of the matter to a
JOURNAL reporter said that some of the
druggists pay no attention to this what
ever and sell any one as many bottles
as the party wishes at this
price. 1t would be impossible for US to
sell parties more than one bottle at such
a price. We only want them to try our
remedy knowing that after they use it
they will always keep it in the house.
This price is less than what it costs to
manufacture if, SO you see it is TO our
interest TO check the way some of the
druggists are doing. / know of several
families who have already purchased
FROM three to six bottles.
It is done principally by those who
have been using it for the past three
years and paying the regular price 80
cents a bottle for it.

Ferris Wheel at COney Island Breaks
Loose and Runs With the Wind

Ferris Wheel at COney Island Breaks
Loose and Runs With the Wind.
NEW YORK, Jan. Among the at
fractions at Coney island is a large
Ferris wheel, modelled after that at the
Worlds fair. 1t was built last year and
is of greater proportion than anything
before seen in this part of the country
1t was supposed to be securely locked
for the winter, but when the hurricane
struck the coast Friday the Inhabitants
of Coney Islands bowerY and vicinity
were called out by grinding, grumb-
ling sound, suggestive of an earthquake.
They followed the peculiar noise, which
led them to the lower end of West
Brighton's bowery, where the big Ferris
wheel is situated For d moment the on
lockers stood terrified, The big wheel
was buzzing around at the rate of about
forty revolutions a minute, apparently
without power of propulsion. The strong
southeasterly gale was the motor. There
was no way of stopping the monster,
and as long as the storm lasted the wheel
worked overtime.

L P. KING ron GOVERNOR.

5Ome POpulists Talk of Him as Their
Candidate.
Ever since the adjournment of the last
legislature there has been considerable
talk among the prominent Popuiist poll
ticians of making State Senator L. P.
King of Cowley county the Populist
candidate for governor in 1896.
Mr.. King has been in the Legislature
for many years. first as a Republican
ard later as Populist and has always
been regarded as an honest, straightfor-
ward man, and it was not surprising that
he should have been suggested as a pos
Psible candidate of his party for COVER
nor.
Senator King has however from the
first said he would not be a candidate
but his party associates thought he would
when the proper time would come.
Last week the representative Popu-
. lists of Cowley county held a meeting at
, which they decided they would bring
Senator King out rs a candidate for
governor. After they had agreed on a
plan of action, they went to see Senator
King, and were surprised when he in-
sisted that he meant what he had said,
and would not under any circumstances
allow the use of his name as a guberna-
torial candidate.

PASSES SHUT OFF SHORT.
Time on 1895 Passes Was Not Extended
This Year.


This Year.
There was weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth in political circles and
wherever there are holders of 1895 rail-
road passes
1t has always been customary for the
railroads through some official to send
out notice about the beginning of the
holidays extending the limit of all an
nual passes to January 10.
This was done SO that holders of passes
would not have to pay their fare if they
wanted to take a ride before the new
years pass reached them.
This time the pass holders looked for
the usual fifteen day extension but it
did not come and many of them have
already reached the conclusion that
they are to be left without transporta-
ton this year unless they put up the
cash.
Several prominent politicians went
home yesterday a day earlier than they
had intended because their passes ex-
pired last night at midnight
