be repeated with as much if not more
bitterness in the Democratic party.
The silverites ia the northern part
of the state have brought forth J. r.
Garrett OF Leavenworth, who is said
to be a shrewd and bright young poll
tician. Garrett viii make the race for
committeeman against Jim Orr and
General Charles wv. Blair. the latter Of
whom is the present committeeman,
and both Of them are pronounced gold
bugs" Marshal Nelly Of Leavenworth
VIII oppose Garrett, but it appears now
as though the latter viii get the Leav~
enworth delegation.
j. III. Atwood, who made free silver
speeches and opposed President Cleve-
land two years ago. is a candidate for
delegate at large.
David Overmyer and ex-senator John
Martin have made up, so the Demo
Gratis say, and win both be candidates
for delegates. probably at large, to the
Chicago convention. Both win make
the issue on the silver question and will
fight the gold men in the state conven-
ton.
The state convention meets in this
city, June g. and it is believed the silver
men viii control it.

Prof. l.. T. Dyche of the State uni
versity told an enormous audience all
about the Eszimos, the north pole and
his adventures. at Assembly hall in the
high school building last night.
Prof. Dyehe is naturally a rapid
talker, but last night he exceeded his
usual rate, as ne had large number
of views which were thrown on can
vas-about $50 Of them-and this kept
him going at a terrific rate for over
two hours. Part of Prof Dyche's lee
ture was the same as he has given be-
fore in Topeka, but numerous anec-
dotes Of his explorations and little
stories of the queer people in the Arctic
regions were interspersed, making the
lecture very interesting.
Stories were told of his first expedi-
ton, the Inflated one, by the speaker
who said he took thirty-two college
professors, from nearly All the leading
Institutions Of learning in this country
with him "a ran into ships, he said

He Can't Think Of Anything to
BE Mad About.
Says IA. TEL. Ellis is Sure to Be
the Nominee
For Congress in the Sixth District
Other Political News of
Varied Character.

Webb AEcNall, the Sixth district poll
tlcian is in Topeka He came in from
the Oakley appellate court convention
late yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. 1GcNan has become famous for
his objection to nearly every one and
everything in politics. He had a quar-
rel with Governor Morrill, because his
protege, Frank Lockhard OF Norton was
not appointed on the state board Of
charities at the time Senator Will
eockson got the appointment. and was
incensed at the administration on ac-
count Of that for q long time.
Then again he was mad at Judge
Ellis, the leading candidate for the Re
publican congressional nomination out
in the Sixth district and refused to
work for some time. 1t is said now,
however, that NIcNaH and Ellis have
buried the Ratchet and are friends once
more There was a strenuous effort
on the part of number Of Ellis
friends to get Webb into the band
wagon. because he possessed influence
over certain classes of voters in the
district, for instance the United Work
men, of which he is a prominent mem
Der and high official.
At any rate. all now is serene, and
when a reporter asked Mr.. AIcNaM how
he found the congressional situation at
the Oakley convention, he said:
Ellis viii so into the convention at
Hays City May IL. with no opposition.
That came out at the Oakley conven-
ton. Judge Ellis already has sum
cient number Of votes Instructed for
him to insure his nomination. and at
Oakley the talk was that Reeder would
cease his opposition and get out Of the
race before the Hays City convention =
A1cNaH is a candidate for delegate
from the Sixth district to the st. Louis
national Republican convention, and he
says id looks as though he would get
the place. The other leading candi-
date for delegate from that district
is Jim Reeder of Hays City.

NIGHT DE MADE or CHEESE
So Easy is Our County Jail to Get Out

Our seemingly escape proof" county
jail seems to yield readily when the
proper Instruments are applied to it.
"a steel plate has been put on the cage
door by order Of the county commits
sioners and at the request of the jail
authorities to cover up the hole through
which Bill West is supposed to have
picked the lock with wire It was
thought that there would be trouble in
boring into the easement of the cage
door, as the entire cage is supposed to
be of the best chrome steel, but machin-
lists bored through it with their instru-
ments like going through wood.
The gratings for the window are
simply iron instead Of steel, and one Of
these bars was sawed in two in five
minutes by a machinist.
Machinist Underestimate gave it as
his expert opinion that the cutting was
done from the outside, both from the
appearance of the ends of the bar which
was sawed. and from the fact Of the
filings falling on the inside easement of
the window. Mr.. Lindenschmidt says
that the saw used cuts only when being
pushed from a person, and this would
throw the filings away from the one
saving Had the saving been done from
the inside he says the filings would have
fallen upon the ground outside the jail.

margarine in packages plainly marked

Referring to the legislation of the

tended that the commonwealth itself is
the greatest violator of the law, mas
much as its agents annually buy large
quantities of the article for use in the
state institutions
Since August 81, eight tons have been
used at Tewksbury and are now using
it there at the rate of a ton month
Bills on file at the Office of the state
auditor show that large quantities are
being used at the state farm, the chill
drens hospital at BaldWinsVllle, the
school of feeble minded at Waverly and
other places. Tt is also used at the
Cambridge aims house and the Massa-
chusetts general hospital

alyzed and found to be pure as an arti-
