ABILENE WINS
The Populist State Convention, AIthoug
Emporia Starts Out in the Lead.

The POpulist State Convention, Although
Emporia Starts Out in the Lead
The Populist state central committee
was in session until after o'clock last
night and again today up to noon.
The committee issued calls for two
state conventions and fixed the basis of
representation for each.
The first state convention will be held
at Hutchinson March 18. for the purpose
of electing delegates to the national con-
vention and nominating a candidate for
congressman at large. The basis of rep
resentation for this convention will be one
delega ate from each county and one addi-
tional delegate for each 500 votes cast
for l.. d. Lewelling for governor in 1894,
which will make convention of about
400 delegates.
There was long debate over the ques-
ton of the place where the regular con-
vention to nominate state officers should
be held, and on the first informal ballot
Emporia got eight votes and Abilene
i've
For two hours the committee then dis
cussed the place for holding the conven-
ton. The Abilene people urged that
if the convention was held in their towa
it would help the party politically and
would arouse an enthusiasm which
would perhaps enable them to elect a
member of the legislature and d state
senator, while if the convention went to
Emporia, a Republican stronghold, the
party would gain nothing and might
lose the Fifth district or at least Dickin-
son county
At the conclusion of this discussion an
other vote was taken and the conve ntion
was sent to Abilene. Abilene securing
nine votes and Emporia 6.
The Abilene convention will contain
about six hundred delegates, the basis of
representation being fixed at one dele
gate from each county. and one addi-
tional delegate for each $50 votes cast
for L. D. Lewelling for governor in 1894.
This convention will be held wednesday

BAD THINGS LEFT OUT

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The new bible pre-
pared for the use of public schools has
been completed It will now be sub
jected to the board of education who will
pass judgment upon it The aim of
those who complied the book was to pre-
pare work that would be unobjection-
able to any religious denomination.
1t has now been twenty five years since
the board of education discontinued the
reading of the bible in public schools of
Chicago. Up to 1874, it was regularly
prescribed duty of the teachers to read Il
portion of the sacred volume to their
scholars. By some this exercise was rel
ished and approved, but to others it
became increasingly distasteful. The
opposition to it grew, and after long
aud stubbornlY contested battle the bible
was eVicted from the public schools.
A few years ago the movement was be-
gun to reinstate the bible The book
which has just been completed shows
growth of suggestion made by Prof.
David Swing. a committee con
sisting of members of the
Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and other de-
nominations having compiled book for
the use of the school children made up
of selections from the bible, and omittin G
certain undesirable parts of the old testa-
ment.
At the beginning it was decided that
the version recognized in the courts by
the English law when appeals to the
bible are made, should be the one from
which the selections should be taken.
For the convenience of children and
better to facilitate the work the book is
graded in its arrangement. Selections
appealing first on its pages are adapted
to the needs and intellectual standards
of the lower grades of the grammar
school, the latter part of the book being
better suited for more mature minds.
Quotations are also given in the book
to show that men differing widely in re-
ligious belief, ranging from Prof. Hux-
ley to the Pope have Endorsed just such
a scheme this that has just been car
ried out.
The committee that prepared the bible
after giving the leaders of the Woman's
Educational union dine credit for the
part which they took in preparing the
book for the public explains the fruit of
their labors. maybe truly, said to belong
not merely to the Educational union, but
to the whole people of Chicago. whose
representatives made it.

FIGHT OVER GROCERY BILL
Brings the Heads of Two Families Into
Court Today.


Court Today.
There WAS a little scene at 918 East
Fourth street last night which termin-
ated in a trial in police court this morn
ing. The principal actors were Arthur
Islip, an engineer on the Leavenworth,
Topeka & Southwestern railroad and
Albert Wessen, one of the prominent
east side grocers.
Wessen had a bill against Henry
Berry, Islip's sou-in-law, and he went to
his house to collect it. MIR. Berry was
not at home. Mrs. Berry is in i'll health
and the effect of Wessen's visit was such
as to PROSTATE her and a physician
was summoned; that is what
Islip said and he went to
Wessen's store and demanded that Wes-
sen keep away from the house. Wessen
replied that he would do SO when his
bill was paid This angered IsIip and he
struck Wassen several times
Islip admitted the offense, and was
fined SO for disturbing the peace. Both
men say they will have each other ar
rested. Wessen on the charge of dis
turbing the peace of Islip's daughter,
and Islip on the charge of assault and
battery,
