Governor Morrill, today removed Police
Commissioner Lieurance of Wichita and
appointed Oscar Smith, a real estate
dealer of that place, to fill the vacancy.

has represented the ultra temperance

through his cooperation with Tiger Bill,
the assistant attorney general, has made
it possible for the joints and saloons of

The saloon element of Wichita has
all during the fight for the enforcement
of the law in that town urged Governor
Morrill, TO remove Lieurance, saying that
if they could get rid of him they could

Tiger Bill has said that his work in

Commissioner Lieurance, who has now
been removed.
1t was rumored last night that Attor-

to make the arrest today in Kansas City,

Both policemen indicted by the grand
jury have now been arrested Hobson's
arrest a few days ago was particularly
pathetic. He had been in attendance
for some days on his sick father-in-law

old gentleman finally died.
As the under sheriff approached the

He reached the house just as the coffin

which the following is a translation: "My
attention has been drawn to the
frequency with which the civil and mill

Therefore the authorities and army Of

clerks. The JOURNAL correspondents
asked the views of all the delegation Oh
this subject with the exception of Con-
gressman Calderhead, who was not ac-
cessible at the time.
Congressman Broderick said: "There
is no reason why the house shouldn't
have them as well as the senate. The
representatives have just as much work
todo. In fact most of the drudgery is
pat off on them, and yet the senators have
clerks for the entire year.
My clerk is busy all the time, and be-
sides that l hire young man to go to
the departments twice a week. Frequent
ly we work till 10 o'clock at night with
correspondence, and are then often be-
hind One third of the letters l receive
are requests to do something in the de-
partments. The people imagine that one

other to go to the departments They do
notrealize that they are separated by long
distances over big city and that to visit
If cong ressman had to, attend to that
class of work alone he would have no
time at all to attend committee meetings
and the sessions of congress"
Mr.. Broderick said he hadn't had
night off in six weeks. He. also said he
didn't believe the people would object to
representatives having annual CLERKS be-
cause when they voted themselves ses-
sion clerks there was hardly word of
adverse criticism.
The only member who was not avow
edly in favor of the annual clerks was
Congressman Kirkpatrick and he was
not squarely against it He said: "W hile
my work is more than can attend to alone
and l pay out more than / receive for
clerk hire, do not know that l should
be in favor of voting the new feature.

there are others who do not. Although
l do not believe my constituents would
object to it in order that l might carry on
the big amount of pension work have
to do, I think the present condition of
the treasury hardly warrants the addi-
| tional appropr iation." n.".....--..-
Congressman Curtis said: ave ought
to have them. I'll stake my reputation
that some of US representatives have
more work to do than any senator in the
senate. If we are not allowed to have
them the senate ought to do without
them"
A similar opinion was expressed by
Congressman Long. He said that most
of the members needed them. "The
| correspondence is so heavy that a clerk
is constantly needed" he said, "especi-
ally where there is large pension con-
stituency."
Con gressman Miller said: 81 am in
favor of it. There is no reason why
representatives shouldn't have them az
we'll as senator's They need them and
ought to have them"
Congressman Blue emphasized as he
always does, the fact that he is the rep
resentative of the whole state of Kan
sas," and said: "The business of repre-
sentatives is such that they need the
annual clerks. With department and
congressional work he has to neglect
either the one or the other. Represent
! ing the whole state of Kansas, as l do
one man can't attend to everything. Peo-
pie write to me from all over the state
about all sort of things, and to attend tc
this alone would keep one man busy the

SUMMONED TO WASHINGTON
Believed That Gen. Merritt is to Be Sent

CHICAGO, March Ga local paper
says: The report that Gen. Wesley Mer-
rift, commander of the department of the
Missouri, has been summoned to Wash
ington for a conference with the presi-
dent aud his advisers on a secret mission
of Importance, is believed by army men
in this city to be untrue.
At army headquarters it is said that
President Cleveland contemplates send
ing a military commission to Cuba to
examine into the condition of affairs on
the island and it is surmised that Gener-
al Merritt is to be trusted with the lead
ership of the commission. No member
of General Nerritt's staff, however, is
willing to be quoted in the matter as the
secrecy that is being observed at Wash
ington enjoins silence.

PENSIONS NOT IN CASH.


A Bill Passes the House to Prevent Pay
ment in Money
WASHINGTON, March AT the opening
of the session of the house today bill
was passed on motion of Mr.. Overstreet
(Rep. Ind to abolish the cash payment
of pensions.
The purpose of the bill is to prevent
the swindling of old veterans who draw
their pension money at the agencies on
quarterly payment on quarterly pay
days. The correspondence with
the agency show that many pen
sioners draw their pensions in cash and
their families complain they get no
benefit from the money. This bill re-
quires all pensions to be paid in checks
sent to the homes of the pensioners.

The Republican Ross Will Organize

Chairman Cyrus Leland of the Re-

won complete victory in the
state in his candidacy for delegate at
large to the Republican national conven-

There is no longer any doubt that
Chairman Leland's friends will organize
the state convention at Wichita next
Tuesday.
Mr. Leland's close friends and CO.
workers say he will not only organize
the state convention, but that he will
have 200 votes to spare.
The opposition to Leland and his
methods in the Republican party is
large, but it is unorganized. Mr. Le-
lands tenure is strong but it will prob
ably not last long. The reign of bosses
in this state is proverbially precarious.

The long -sought-for device to remove
wrinkles has at last been invented by a
Philadelphia woman who has secured a
patent upon her clever invention. The
arrangement consists of two bowed
arms of watch-spring steel, ending in
chamois pads. The arms fit around the
back of the head, drawing the flesh back
until it is smooth. When worn during
the night it is claimed that the device
is very effectual.
