VISITS OUR MONEY BOX.
Ii Hung Chang Makes Trip to the
Treasury.

Washington, Sept. 5.-For the last
day of the visit of Ii Hung Chang to
the national capital, rather extensive
programme had been arranged, but
this was broken without a qualm by
the ambassador who tires quickly of
sight seeing and seems to find more
satisfaction in personal association with
his entertainers than in the wonders
of architecture or paying tribute to
historical characters.
The weather was gloomy and threat
ening for one thing this morning when
Earl Ii rosa about dawn, and, consid-
ering his strong repugnance to rain, it
was something of an achievement for
his conductors to induce him to go out
of doors at all. Made aware by the
newspapers of the extremely early
hours kept by Lii Hung Chang, several
persons seized upon the opportunity
afforded by the unOccupied morning to
pay their respects, among them being
the Portuguese minister and several
officials. The vicerOy seems to be in a
most amiable mood, but following his
peculiar policy of doing all of the in
terviewing himself, succeeded in ex-
tracing from his visitors much more
information than he bestowed. He al
so made some of the officials feel IN
comfortable at times by embarrassing
leading questions calculated to develop
their political intentions.
After the morning interview was
over Earl Lii consented to make q
start upon the days programme and
about half past nine he was placed in a
carriage and with his personal suite
escorted to the treasury department
The VicerOy'S visit to the treasury
which coupled fully an hour and a half
appeared to specially interest the whole
party, and after a brief and cordial well
come by Secretary Carlisle, the vice
roy expressed q desire to inspect the
many money vaults, and in company
with the secretary, Treasurer Morgan
and Mr. Foster the ex-secretarv of
state, the lower departments were Wis
tied, the massive steel doors of the gold,
silver and bond vaults were thrown
open and the contents of each were ex-
planned The vicerOy's curiosity and
interest were aroused and his cues
range. From the vaults the party as
cended to the upper floors and visited
the issue and redemption departments
where the secretary explained the pro-
cesses by which the money for the ma
ton passed from the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, and the minis, into
circulation.
The viceroy seemed delighted with
everything he saw and on leaving the
building thanked the officials for their
courtesy. The presence of the party in
the building created the greatest in
terest and everywhere they were fol-
lowed by a thrOng of clerks who were
bent on obtaining a sight of the dis
tinguished Chinaman.
Secretary Carlisle accompanied the
party to the bureau of engraving and
printing which was next visited. The
sight seeing was, however, cut short by
a down pour of rain The viceroy es-
ury department and then the entire
retenue returned to the Arlington.

AN UNWELCOME GUEST.
Reason to Believe That Watson'svisit
Here is obviously Looked Upon.

When Chairman Bre1denthaI received
the telegram from Butler that Watson
was coming to Kansas, the following
dialogue is related as occurring with
visitor in the office:
DO you want him?'' said the ques-
toner.
Want him? Of course we want him.
He is the Populist nominee for vice
president. Why shouldn't we want him?
If he comes, I will do the best 1 can to
give him good meetings and to make it
pleasant for him generally. We can
present him at Girard September 10 and
by making a night ride he can reach
Seneca at o'clock the next afternoon"
But wouldn't that be a hard ride?
You would furnish a sleeping car, of
course?"
Sleeping car? Well, guess not. Pop
uIists out this way can't afford Sleep
ing cars, and I guess they are about
the same way down in Tom Watson
country. Out this way we think moth
ing of walking when we must. But he IL
be treated all right if he comes"
IF he comes?"
yes if he cOmes.''
''How about the Democratic and free
silver committees2 VIII they go in
with you to entertain him %
1T does not follow that they should.
Mr. Watson is not their candidate
They are running Bryan and Sewan.'
Would you bring Watson to To-
peka?''
Hardly; you know Topeka is to have
Bryan, and it would not be fair to other
towns to bring both ends of the ticket

NOT ANARCHISTS.


applied to you. If am an anarchist,
then all who want me elected must be
anarchists also. When I look into
your faces I wonder whether YOU are
all enemies of the government or enc
mics of those who want to use the gov
eminent as a private snap. Gap
plause.)
There is a great difference between
being against the government and
against those who misuse the govern
ment. Andrew Jackson said there
were no necessary evils in govern
ment; that its evils grew out of its
abuse. Some people do not draw any
lines between government and the
abuse of government and whenever
people speak out against an abuse of
government those who are making
money out of the abuse generally find
fault with the people who complain and
try to put them in the attitude of OPP
ponents of government. I want to as
sure you the most loyal supporters of
government are not found in the great
trusts which think they are greater
than the government and control it.
They are found among the masses who
want to secure love for the govern
ment, every citizen by making it so
good it will deserve their love. CAP

by talking; you have got to reform it
by voting. People may complain as
much as they like about a bad law, but
the way to get rid of it is to repeal it
and the way to repeal it is to vote for
those who believe in repeating the
laws that are bad and not those who
want to make more bad laws and keep
all the bad laws already in exist
ence.
IF the people in this country would
all recognize the power of the ballot
and use that ballot as they should,
there would be less complaint against
injustice. If our laws are bad, remem-
Der the people who permit the laws to
remain bad are to blame. If our laws
are to be good, those who want them
good have got to make them good. I
thank you. Great applause and
cheering)

HIS BICYCLE LIGHT.
Novel Scheme of a IS Year Old Frisco
Lad

San Francisco, Sept.5.-GeorgeWoo
bury has invented a novel bicycle light
Young Woodbury. who is 16 years of
age, lives here. His light is described
as being something altogether new.
To the front forks of his bicycle he
has attached a couple of tubes filled
with oxygen. Another tube filed with
ether is fastened to the handle bars,
while Between the cross bars the lad
has arranged a small battery. The OK
ygen and ether tubes are connected
with wires, and when the wheel is put
in motion it generates it's own light.
The only objection is that the contriv-
ance as first used by the young inven-
tor was too heavy. He says he will
make it to weigh less and will then
have light that will show every OBJ
stacIe in the road ahead of him.

MANY PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
More Plentiful in Minnesota This Sea-
son Than for Years.

Redwood Falls. Mimi, Sept. 5.-No
former season, even in days when the
prairies stood untouched by the hand
of man, has given better promise of an
abundant crop of prairie chickens than
does this fall.
Old hunters believe that the birds are
stronger and healthier than at a similar
period since the days of cultivation be-
gan than they used to be in former
days. This is accounted for in the fact
of the birds having the grain fields to
feed on in the stage of their existence
when development takes place most
readily. Some weeks ago, when the
grain was still growing, covey of
chickens was hardly seen on the prai-
ing all day

AN ODD COFFIN.
A Son Carries Away His Mothers
Remains in a SatcheL

Hays City. Sept. about Is years
ago a woman here committed suicide,
leaving two sons. This week one of the
sons came here and asked that he be
granted the privilege of having the
body exhumed that he may ship to his
home for proper burial
This was granted him and the grave
was located. On digging it was found
the coffin had rOtted away and only the
bones, the largest u inches long, were
found. A happy thought struck the
young man; he would save the expense
of expressing a coffin. He came to
town, bought a satchel, and dumped
the bones therein Is there another case
on record where a son carried his moth
er in a satchel?

As they pictured them, so years ago.
