MANLY REGRETS.

In the mirror gazing fondly
Whitest brow and deepest eyes
Smiled the pictured face In wonder
Linked with questioning surprise.
Wonder at the dazzling beauty
That the lingering look did meet
Marvel that so rarely ever
Lay such gifts at mortal feet.
But the mem'ry came o'erfiltting;
And In gazing grieved he.
"Woe," he sighed: "That can't MARI
All the girls in love with me!'

The Louisiana Convention Sends the Exc
Governor to the st. Louis Convention.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb 1.-The repub-
lican state convention has adjourned
sine die. The following were elected
delegates for the state-at-large to the
st. Louis convention: William Pitt
Kellogg, A. III. Leonard, Henry Demas,
]. Madison Vance. The statement is
made that Vance, who was a pro-
nounced Mckinley man until he ascer-
tanned that the convention was
for Reed, then made terms with
Kellogg by promising to vote
for Reed. Demas, it is said, did
not commit himself on the presi-
Dental question until he saw that Reed
men had the convention, so he then
made terms with the Reed people.
Thomas A. Cage finally beat the com bi.
nation formed against him early in the
day by Hero, Warmoth, Guichard and
others and was again elected perma-
nent chairman of the body.
The convention Endorsed the state
ticket headed by Capt ]. Fl. Pharr for
governor. The ticket was nominated
by populists and Endorsed by the sugar
planters. Mckinley has IL of the is
delegates elected, and his friends con-
fidently assert that ex-Gov. Kellogg
will not be seated as a delegate in the
national convention.

Little Doubt That the Whole Bond Issue
VIII he Readily Taken.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Nothing def
mite can be learned at the treasury de-
partment as to the number and amount
of bids already received for the new
bonds. AS fast as received the bids are
deposited in a safe where they will re-
main until next Wednesday, when they
will be opened and their contents an
nounced. It is certain, however, that a
large mum Der of bids have been received
and every mail brings considerable adj
ditions. As to the amounts or prices Of
fered, even the secretary of the treasury
knows nothing, except in the few
cases where he has been privately adj
vised by letter. There seems to be no
doubt that the amount of the bids will
exceed the 500, 900, 900 to be offered,
and it is expected that the foreign
offers will be considerably more than
was expected when the loan was an
nounced. The improved political situ-
alton abroad, it is believed, will con-
tribute to this end

EndeavOrers Will Not Discuss "True mer-

Line.
BosToN, Feb. 1.-The incident of the
refusal of three leading Boston hotels
to entertain Bishop Benjamin w. Ar
nett, of Wherefore, O., because of his
color, has a sequel in the announce
ment of Rev. Samuel NJ. Crothers, uni
versty preacher of Harvard college,
who was to address the South Middle :
sex Unitarian club on "True American
ism" at its next meeting, that he will
not speak on the subject if the meet
ing of the club is held at hotel in
which the color line is drawn. This
declination is prompted by the fact
that one of the hotels at which bishop
Arnett was refused accommodation is
the usual meeting place of the club.

ECHOES FROM THE BOOM.
History of an Atchison Deal and Its Pecu-
liar Termination.

History of an Atchison Deal and Its Pecu-
liar Termination.
ATCHIsoN, Kan, Jan. 31.-A CHASTITY
relic of the big real estate boom that
struck Atchison several years ago has
just been presented to a mum Der OF
leading Atchison business men by the
supreme court. During the wild
hurrah days of the boom q syndi-
cate composed of prominent capital
lists, lawyers and merchants, among
other investments, took an option on a
few acres of ground adjoining an old
grave yard The land was worth prob
ably $25. These boomers paid for their
option 81, 500 in cash and agreed to pay
81, 500 more when they should demand
deed for the land. They never demand
ed the deed. The boom died almost
bornin' and the gentlemen agreed to
pocket their loss and say no more
about it. The owner of the land, how
ever, had enjoyed snap. He had re-
ceived $500 in cash and still had his
land. One day, however, the owner
got hard up and hypothecated the land
and the syndicate's option with a bank
for borrowed funds. Before his de bt
was paid he died. Foreclosure of the
mortgaged land followed his death.
The bank got the land for
a few hundred dollars, and in
some unaccountable way a judg-
ment against the syndicate for its
second payment on the land. The
syndicate frankly confesses that it is
unable to unravel the intricacies OF the
law that renders judgment against it
when it has not been sued and compels
it to pay for property it never pur-
chased and at the same time invests
the title in the hands of another party.

KANSAS DAY CLUB.


Those who Spoke.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. S0-The annual
meeting of the Kansas Day club, which
.ook place in the Copeland hotel
last night attracted to the capital an
unusually large number of men of
more or less prominence. They were
all politicians and most of them are
young fellows, for it was the young
crowds" day; but there was a large
sprinkling of old men on hand, come
to advance their own personal inter
ests, although they did not have seats
at the banquet table. At the banquet
the following named young men re-
sponded to toasts: Kansas" William
S Gretsinger, of the state normal
school; Political Sense,' Elrick C. Cole,
of Great Bend; 1.-The Builders of a
State" B. II. Tracey, of Wamego; ''Flexi-
BILE Politics." c. d. Jones of Norton;
Through Adversely" Bruno Hobbs, of
Kansas City, KaS; what of the Flu
ture?" w. ]. Bailey, of Baileyville;
THE Mistakes of Moses" Charles A.
Stuart, of Ottawa; 1.-The Kansas Press
D. FL. Woolley. of Girard; "a Broader
Nationalism, Less Sectionalism,"
George P. Morehouse, of Council Grove;
''Our Doctrines" P. S. Elliott, of WASH
burn callege; Our Prospects," Frank
Nelson, of Lindsborg; Three of a
Kind" w. Y. Morgan, Hutchinson.
Rounds of applause greeted each of
the speakers and all of the happy hits
they made. A better natured audience
was never faced by a speaker. Music
was Interpreted with the speechmak-
ing. and the zest did not commence to
flag until the last toast was answered,
the last song sung, and the crow Of
the matutinal rooster was heard in
the land.
There were two candidates for the
presidency of the club, J. e. Junkin.
of Sterling and Will T, Walker, of
Kansas City, Kan. Junkin was elected
by majority of five votes. B. B. Tut
tie, of Clay Center, w. C. Markham, of
Baldwin, and Ed S. Leland, of Troy,
were elected vice presidents. Arthur
Capper was reelected secretary and
treasurer
