The adherents of Don Carlos in Spain
are apparently on the point of an at
tempt to establish a new order of
things on the ruin of the present
Spanish throne. Carlos is reported to
have said that his followers are now
all drilled, organized and armed, and
only await the word for revolt. AS
Spain is engaged in putting down the
war in Cuba and also in the Philippine
Islands, the favorable opportunity
seems to have come. Spain is nearly
exhausted, especially as TO her finances.
"A rebellion of the Carlists would prob
ably complete her overthrow and at the
same time secur the liberty of Cuba.
A great var at home would destroy the
power of the government to borrow
money, and the sinews of war would
thus have disappeared. Besides that,
some parts of the country would be held
by the insurgents, and in those por-
lions the government would be able
to neither collect customs nor raise
troops. There is a third power, that of
the Spanish Republicans, that may
make itself felt, and is indeed said to
be active at the present time. These
Republicans might object to a Carlist
king as much as to the one now ruling.
In that case the Carlists would prob
ably have to merge their differences
With the Republicans, taking what they
could get Of the public offices. Wheth-
a. Spain is advanced enough to sustain
: republican form Of government re-
mains to be demonstrated.

is in every respect superior to himself
and could do everything he does better
than he can do it. He says, too, that the
civil service examinations in cOnnec-

the agricultural department have
shown that women candidates usually
pass better examinations than men and
do their work equally well if not better
when they are assigned to similar du-
ties.
The last civil service examination
held in that department was to secure
two men assistants in the library. There

THIS is A TRUE TALE.
A Blind Mans First Effort at Running
a Matrimonial Agency.

Two years ago a wealthy German,
living in POttawatomie county, lost his
wife. Since that time his half grown son
has been doing at the homework
This proved neither satisfactory nor
economical. The boy was needed on
the ranch, and wasn't a good cook, any
way.
The father needed a wife and one
day after he had cut a pigs tail off
with a pan cake just to show that he
could throw straight, he decided on
having a wife.
But he wasn't any great shakes at
love making, and he knew it, so he
wrote to a friend of his in Topeka to
cast about him and send him up one.
The friend was blind but he could
see S25 when it was offered to him for
such a service, and he decided to accept.
He could also use his blindness as an
excuse in case the woman didn't suit.
Finally he found one, a. lone widow
with two little girls, and he sent them
along.
The SIS came on the next train, and
the blind man viii hang out his shin

CHICAGO'S PLIGHT.
Threatened With Bankruptcy Because
of q Non-Assessment.

Chicago, June 1O.-Assessor Hepburn
confessed that he is confronted by an
emergency that imperils the current
assessment of real estate in the south
town for the current year. In conse-
quenee of the failure to appropriate
sufficient funds to pay the expenses of
the Office he has been forced to dis
charge 100 deputies. and the prospect
of completing the assessment with his
crippled force within the limit is more
than dubious.
Absolute bankruptcy for the city is
threatened by the condition of affairs
in the south town assessors Office. That
the situation is most serious is shown
by the fact that Comptroller Wether-
ell today announced his determination
to suspend further issuance of time
warrants and to refuse as the financial
agent of the city, to contract additional
monetary obligations dependent for
payment upon next years tax collec-
ton, until the affairs of the south town
Office have been Strengthened out.
