KANSAS CAN BE REDEEMED.

There is not q Populist In Kansas
who would hesitate If he thought q
little effort on his part would insure
victory for the cause. Yet victory
cannot be secured without a little
effort all along the line. This year Is
an suspicious one for Popullsm. Or.
gsnization, persistent personal effort
by all and fidelity to Popullsm will
win. The opposition is badly demOF-
allied, has made discreditable record
and has done nothing to retain the
confidence of the people. All Popu-
lists need do Is to work. Work means
organization, circulation Of reform
literature and the exercise of care and
judgment in the nomination of candi-
dates. At present the general work
being done Is largely the effort of the
State committee. In order to keep up
effective work and to push the cirouls-
tion of literature the committee must
have a limited amount Of funds. So
far the necessary cash has been raised
by the sale Of campaign scrip and this
work continues. Many Kansas POpu
lists have inquired how this scrip bust.
ness works. In answer to these 1t may
be stated that when an individual pur-
chsses scrip he pays for it at its face
value and he can have the same re-
deemed by almost any reform paper
or publishing house in the purchase OF
papers or books at the regular prices
for the literature. The transaction so
far as the individual Is concerned is
just exactly the same as if the money
was remitted directly for the matter
desired. But the paper or house re-
ceiVing the scrip gives to the commit
tee in the final redemption of 1t q
discount equal to the commissions,
etc., usually allowed agents. In
many cases this amounts to One-half.
The individual has then spent his
money for something he wants and
would pay for anyway and at the same
time makes donation Of one-hslf the
amount to the State campaign fund.
This is an easy way to raise the neces
ssry campaign funds. 1t should be
pushed by every voter and worker who
hopes for party success. A little more
effort along this line will enable the
State committee to make characters
tic and determined fight. In their
efforts it should have the cooperation
of every Populist. The work Is not
hard, but little effort from each Is re-
quired and the results will place the
committee in condition to make a win
ming fight.

Al Presbyterian Elder Desires that

NEW YORK, March 9.-The New

monthly meeting in the Presbyterian

The Rev. DR.. Charles L. Thompson,
chairman of the committee on home
missions, reported that the meeting in
Carnegie hall resulted in a collection
of $6,50S, out of which only $125 was
to be paid for the expenses of the

The Rev. DR.. John G. Bliss submitted
a resolution thanking the speakers on
that occasion, especially President

HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.


T. Daniel Frawley and his popular
company, received an enthusiastic re-
ception yesterday afternoon at the
theatre, but the reception accorded
them, fattering as it was, did not
compare with the enthusiasm with
which they were received by the many
friends made during their far too short
| engagement that terminated at the
Grand a little more than a year ago.
The company had hardly had time to
reach their rooms at the Knutsford yes
terday morning, before the rush COM
menced and it continued until the cur
tain was rung up at the afternoon per-
Torrance, and even then there were a
large number of their more intimate
acquaintances who witnessed the per-
Torrance from the wings.
Mr.. F'rawley, when seen by q Herald
reporter at his room in the Knutsford
yesterday morning, was the same hale
fellow we'll met of q year ago and
when asked for an interview, quickly
responded that nothing would give
him more pleasure than to let the Salt
Lake public, whose friendship he is
proud to possess, know OF the sue
cesses of the company since leaving.
Mr.. Frawley said that after closing at
the Grand on February 16 last, they
had gone under the management Of
Giffen & NeilI to Portland, playing at
Boise City on the way. Upon arriving
in Portland the management became
disheartened at the poor business and
was about to disband the company,
intending to take the leaders, with
whom they had contracts, back to
Denver when Mr.. Frawley, upon the
urgent request of the remainder of the
players, assumed the management,
paying 81, 200 for the privilege. He had
at that time just $1,040, which left him
$40 capital for running expenses, but
business picked up, the Portland pub
lie found what an aggregation of rare
talent they were given the opportunity
of seeing, and at the close of their four
weeks engagement, after paying all
expenses, he had a cool 81, 500 to carry
him into Frisco. Then" said Mr.
Frawley, I'VE had a great run on what
is considered an unlucky NUMBERS.
We were a company of thirteen play
ers, and arrived in Frisco on Friday
and opened at the Columbia on the 18th
of May for a season of ten weeks,
which was extended three, making
thirteen and the net returns for that
time were $4,000. Now if 1S is an un-
lucky number. I am looking for
lucky one.

SIMS SWAMPED.
FRACTIONAL CONTROVERSY IN THE
NEW YORK MINING EXCHANGE.
A Member Expelled, and He Threat
ems to Put the Concern Into the
Hands of a Receiver.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The World
tomorrow will publish the following:
The fractional controversy which has
upset the mining exchange for two
weeks eliminated yesterday in the ex-
pulsion from the board of directors of
George Sims, senior partner of the firm
of Sims, Beers g. Co., who were very
active in founding the exchange.
Sims was swanped last week by a
call on Manhattan Gold Mining and
Development company. He failed to
meet certain obligations and was sus-
pended. Colonel Ammon yesterday
sold 1000 shares Of the stock, Vhich
he says was put bill which Sims
has repudiated. The men met on the
floor and Ammon called Sims a liar.
At p. m. a board meeting was called.
Colonel Ammon was made chairman,
and a resolution declaring Sims posi-
ton on the board of directors vacant,
was adopted unanimously.
Now, Mr.. Sims" said the chairman,
"you are no longer a member Of this
directory and you will please leave
the room"
The broker put on his hat and coat
and retired under protest. Later he
said: This action is an outrage and
I intend to prove it illegal in the
courts. We will have a receiver in
tWenty-four hours
The board of directors issued the
following statement:
"As 1t seemed to be necessary that
influential citizens of New York City
should be made members of ithe board,
it undertook to create vacancies in
order that this view could be carried
out. Several designations have been
rendered, and further there seemed to
be a demand coming from members of
the exchange, who have purchased
seats and paid for the eame, that es-
pecially should George V. Sims resign
his seat upon the board of directors"
tFAir. Sims was approached and asked
to tender his resignation. This he de-
clined to do. In the meantime inyes-
tigation was begun to determine the
condition of his financial relations with
the exchange, and a statement was
finally obtained, from which, in our
opinion, shows a very considerable in
debtedness from him to the exchange.
At meeting called this afternoon
they did by unanimous vote declare
Mr.. Sims expelled from this director
ate"
Colonel Ammou and c. V. Holmes
said the exchange would be reorgan-
lied.

lin, Griffin & Walker of this city, has
instituted an action against Armour &
Co. of Chocago. to recover penalties
amounting to $4,000 for alleged viola
ton of the state law in selling oleo-
margarine in different sections through
out the state during the past six or
seven years. The venue is laid in JEFF
ferson county.
This suit is the outcome of the at
tempts made by Commissioner of Agri-
culture F. G. Shraub to suppress the
sale of oleomargarine since he assumed
office His endeavors in this respect
were met by the defendants by injunc-
ton restraining them from prosecut-
ing any suits until the determination
by the supreme court of the United
States of the question of the constitu-
tionality of the law prohibiting the
sale. About a year ago that court
held the law was constitutional, where
upon the commissioner Of agriculture
sought to begin the suit in question,
but was unable to obtain service of the
summons until now.

Flour Shipments.

GALVESTON, Texas. March 9.-The
Texas Star -four mills on Saturday
last loaded the steamship Gyller for
Cienfuegos and other Spanish-Aneri-
can ports. Before she sailed her agent
at havana cabled:
Great excitement prevails. Don't
ship flour"
In response to an inquiry another
cable came: ''Reprisals action con-
gress,"
From this the exporters inferred that
American -four is TO be excluded from
Cuba on account of the recent action
of congress. The ships destination
was changed to other West India norts
and she sailed. Then this cable was re-
ceived: Have no other news; can you
proceed ?"
The inference is that the local
authorities resolved to retaliate against
American commerce and the N9ad-;s
government interposed.
