X. G. k. MAYOR DESPERATE
he May Fight Morrill, if He IS No
HeIped.

Word comes from Kansas City, Kan,
which would intimate that Mayor
Twiss of that city is in desperate
straits regarding the deficit in the city
treasury. 1t is said that Mayor Twiss
gave Governor Morrill, to understand
that If the latter wanted any assist
ance from Kansas City, Kan, in the
coming gubernatorial contest, he must
reciprocate by assisting the city hall
1t is said that the mayor has en-
phatically denied that he wants to
abolish the board of police commission
ers, but says he must have a remedy.
Therefore, from what can be learned,
if Mayor Twiss' plan is carried out, the
fine Of $500 imposed on convicted Joint
keepers will be considerably reduced.
This is the only way out of the difficult
ty, so the story goes, and if Governor
Morrill, doesn't do something to help
out the liquor interests and relieve the
mayor in his present predicament, it
is said that the governor will not get
a delegate from Wyandotte county.

LIKE A SNOWY MIRAGE
The Committee of Fifty Disap-
pears From View.
1t Is Too Much Trouble to Re
form Kansas,
Or Rather to Keep It Reformed and
Busy Men Must Needs Let the
Devil Claim His Own.

The State Temperance union has
about given up hope Of results from the
committee of fifty.
Secretary Stephens said to a Journal
reporter: owe no longer look to the
committee in local matters
The truth of the matter is thatAthe
chairman. MIR. ]. w. Gleed, has been
SO busy that he has not been able to
carry out his plans and make the com
mittee an important adjunct of the
State Temperance union. Soon after
he accepted the position he was made
general attorney for the ST. Louis &
san Francisco railroad and he has not
had time to look after the work of
the committee.
President Vance Of the State Tenn
perance union said today to a journal
reporter. ut was the intention to make
the committee the nucleus for the W6rk
in different localities within the state
but its organization has been accom-
panied with the greatest disadVan-
tages. The members first named haQ
to be consulted. and some Of them re-
fused to accept, so that their places
had to be filled with others who would
accept. The work of organizing the
committee has consequently been go
ing on all the time since the committee
was first suggested
Il had a talk with Mr.. Gleed about
the matter some time ago and he
agreed to call the committee together,
but he has not had time, I suppose.
There is much work that the commit
tee might do but it is so difficult to get
such large number Of people together
A public notice of q meeting would not
be sufficient Each member viii have
to be consulted separately"
Mr.. Gleed is in St. Louis.

of parties leaving the hall and yelled to

anyone get Quit" there would have been
kicking, but Sam Jones did that yes
