our city is equipped with as good laws

ATCHIsON TURNS AGAINST HIM.
Leland Has Few Friends in That Big
County.

Leland Has Few Friends in That Big
County.
The news comes to Topeka from Atch-
ison that the fight being made on Cy Le-
land in that county, now overshadows
every other question now being consid-
cred by the politicians
MIR. Leland's enemies concede him the
delegates from three counties in the First
district, but insist that he will be defeat
ed in his ambition to be national commit
teeman from Kansas during the coming
presidential campaign.
The only man in Atchison who is pub
licaly defending Leland is Frank G..
Crowell, one of the regents of the state
university
The following wagers made in Atchi-
son show the feeling in that county
against Leland:
That majority of the Atchison dele
gates to the state convention will not
vote for Cy Leland for delegate at-large
to the national Republican convention.
THAT the two district delegates from
the First district to the Republican
national convention will not vote for Cy
Leland for national committeeman.
That J. B. johnson, and not Cy Le-
land, will be elected national committee
man"

Gus, having been taken from old wood
cuts. The distinguished philanthropist
was too modest to complain, however,
and would probably never have changed
the order Of things had not some friends
whom she recently visited in Evanston,
Ills, persuaded her to have a new pic
ture taken. She consented, and here is a
correct likeness of her, showing her
kindly features as they are today, some
what scanned by the hand of time, but
softened by the goodness and gentleness
which has made her name beloved in
many lands.
Miss Barton, who is now on her way
toward bleeding Armenia, began her
work Of relief early il life. She was a
clerk in the patent Office at Washington
when the civil war broke out, bus at
once resigned her position. She was in
Baltimore when the Massachusetts sol
diers were mobbed there and nursed
over 40 of the victims. Then she went
to the front and shared the sufferings Of
the boys in blue until the close of the
war. Her unwearying devotion and
countless services to the soldiers won
for her the name of CANCEL of the Bat
tlefeId. -
In 1869 she went to Europe for rest
anu WH14e Lner6 nrSG nearu OF the heu
Cross society. While at Bern the Fran
co-Prussian war broke out, and within
three days Miss Barton was asked to
join in the relief work, and she at once
went to the front. She remained with
the German army, carrying cheer and
aid into the beleaguered cities, until she
had finished her work. She has been
honored by emperors and nations and
has freely sacrificed health and fortune
N her philanthropic efforts Her more
recent work among sufferers from fire
and food in this country is too we'll
known to need mention, and she will
take with her into her new field the
hopes and well wishes of many millions
of admirers.

MANY MORE BRICK WALKS.
Thirteen TILES of Wooden Sidewalks
Have Been Condemned.
BRICK WALKS ON THE PRAIRIE

Will Not he the Custom This YeRr,b but
They Will BE Put Down i'm Well
Travelled Parts of Town Where
Needed.
There will be a reform in sidewalk
building this year. 1t has been the Gus
tom to wait until midsummer to make up
the list of condemned walks for submits
sion to the council and when the details
were completed it has been impossible to
complete the walks before cold weather.
Sidewalk inspector Withers already
has the list made up and it will be sub
mitted to the council at the next meet
ing. This will give time to have the
contract let and the work done in the
summer.
There will be great many more walks
built this year than last The city en-
gineer says that the list will probably in
clude twenty miles. The number now
on the condemned list is 2,741 lots or g.
go feet which is equal to almost thir
teen miles. The inspector says that when
spring opens there will probably be
many of the walks of doubtful condition

Last year there were about seven and
a half miles of new walk put down SO
that it is evident that there will be much
more sidewalk building this year than
last and probably more than has been
put down in any one year.

TO ADJOURN JUNE.
Congress Expects to Get Its Work Out of
tbs Way by That Time.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
committee on appropriations through
one of its subcommittee, will take up
the urgent deficiency appropriation bills
tlmorrow. There are now three of
the apr pr alton bills, tefore tt Q COM
mittee, The urgent deficiency, the pen ION
and the military academy bills, and it is
understood to be the purpose OF the com
mittee to dispose of all appropriation
bills as rapidly as possible. A prominent
member of this committee today ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be pos
sible to have the appropriation bills out
of the way and have congress in a posi-
ton to adjourn early in June.

ONE REPUBLICAN, SURE.
Aud Yet There Are Not Many Candi-
dates
FOR NE. APPELLATE JUDGESHIP.

Political Matters of Kansas, Import
ant and Minor.
There is one judicial officer to be
elected in Kansas this fall who is sure to
be Republican. That officer will be
judge of the eastern division of the
northern department of the court of ap-
peals more frequently called the appel
late court.
Judge George w. Clark. the present
Judge of the division in question, is
Democrat and has no hopes of being re-
elected as his politics is not of the right
kind.
This district which includes the north
eastern corner of the state from Morris
county north to Nemaha, and east to the
state line taking in Morris, Wabaunsee,
Shawnee, Douglas and Johnson counties
south of the Kansas river, has Repub-
Iican majority of about $4,000 votes.
The man who receives the Republican
nomination for judge of this division
will be elected without question and this
is the only court of appeals division out
of the six in the state where there will
not be party fight over the judgeship.
Although this district contains perhaps
more lawyers than any other district in
tho state, yet there is up to this time but
one man prominently mentioned as
candidate IOr tnlS JuuReSnlp.
This man is Judge John w. Day of
Topeka, and he has not yet announced
himself as candidate
Judge Day was a candidate for ap-
pointment to the place now filed by
Judge Clark, and his lawyer friends are
working up boom to give him the nomi-
nation that he may have it for the regu-
lar term.
1t was expected that Kansas City,
Kansas, would have a candidate for this
judgship, but lawyer from that town
who was in Topeka this week says the
only man big enough for the job in that
town won't have it.
Atchison will not have candidate be-
cause that would interfere with John ].
Ingalls, interests, and she won't allow
anything to interfere with Ingalls, this
year.
Lawrence was supposed to have
candidate, but it is now announced that
the Lawrence man has decided he wants
to run for district judge to fill the seat TO
be vacated by Judge A. w. Benson, who
has determined 10 retire from the bench.
The members of the Topeka bar seem
to think Judge Day will be the next
judge of this division of the court of APP
peals.
