everlasting oblivion the people who had
dared to question his motives. He moved
to amend the report of the committee by
substituting the name of the Western
Electric company for the Ft. Wayne
company.
Councilman Drew said that he was not
a speech maker. 81 want to say for the
committee" said he, "Ehat one of the
things that aided us in making
up our report was these letters received
by Superintendent Marshall before the
advertisement for bids was made, aud
therefore without pref udics 1 am going
to ask the city attorney to read them"
City Attorney Bird then read the let
tiers, and every one In which an opinion
was given favored the Fit Wayne ma
chinery.
Councilman Roundyree said: "We
have met seven or eight nights and
think this matter should be settled. This
is the time to make an objection and it
seems to me that from the information l
have received this contract should go to
the Western Electric company. l have
read everything I could find and 1 am
satisfied that the larger the machine and
the slower the revolutions the better and
more durable the machine.
Councilman Stephenson said: II am
satisfied that this company ia trying to
sell US an eighty light machine for 100
lighter and cannot therefore vote to give
the contract to the FIT. Wayne company"
Councilman Skinner said: "This COM
mittee has spared no time nor money to
investigate this matter. The committee
10 composed of as honorable citizens as
there are in the city of Topeka and the
report should have some weight. l
want to say that if this council sits by
and allows the Fit Wayne company 10
put in eighty light machines when their
contract calls for 100 light machines we
will have to be asleep. We won't pay
chinery in my ice plant which is not ac-
cording to contract, would be fool if I
paid for it and it will be the same way
with this contract.
On the vote on the Bradford substitute
in favor of the Western Electric COM
pany, Councilmen Bradford, Stephenson
and Rouudtree voted in the affirmative,
aud Drew. Burgess, Elliott, Fulton, Pat
tison, Stevens and Skinner in the mega

On the final vote the report of the COM
mittee was adopted by the following
vote: Affirmativs-Drew, Burgess, ELI

and Roundiree; neg ative-Bradford and
Stephenson.
The bid of the Fl Wayne company
was $12,995. That of the Western EIec-
trio was $I2, 9S1, but the bid of the latter
company did not include hoods for the

After the vote was taken the council
adjourned.

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
That Appears to BE the Unanimous Cry c
The Kansas LaboreEs.

That Appears Re the Unanimous Cry OF
The Kansas LnboreFs.
The Office of the state labor commits
sionor is just now busy compiling and
getting ready several thousand reports
from Individual laborers in Kansas re-
garding their condition and the condition
of labor
Commissioner Bird had a large num-
Der of blanks printed, enough for almost
every laboring man ia Kansas, and on
the blanks are asked a number OF Ques-
tions, the answers of which are to enable
him to judge of the condition of labor
and laboring men. 81,
81 find it pretty hard to get them to I'LL
up the blanks" he said. ''It is no use de-
nying that we have large number OF
labOrers under the eye OF this depart
mont that are too ignorant to realize the
importance of it. We have already re-
ceived over 5000 answers, but there are
several thousa nd yet due.
''The question most objected to is the
one that asks if they have gone in debt
in the past year aud how much. They
do not understand that the personal re-
cords are not made public.
'There is another question that brings
and that is the one regarding immigra-
| ton.
81 have watched the answers closely
and 90 per cent of the foreigners are for
| restriction of immi gratiOn and the other
| five per cent want it prohibited alto
| gether. The Americans are almost a
unit on the restriction of immigration,
and fully twenty five per cent of them
want it stopped entirely. They know
what it is hurting them.

the blanks myself. And my postage al
lowance is too small by $500.

THOSE TEXAS CATTLE CASES.
Arguments Being Heard In the Supreme
Court This Afternoon.

Arguments Being Heard In the Supreme
Court This Afternoon.
In the supreme court this afternoon ar
guments are being heard in the Lyon
county Texas cattle cases. in which the
NJ, K. & T. Railroad company is plain
tiff in error and Charles Haber, ct al,
are defendants in error.
In 1892 Hosier Bros shipped several
train loads of cattle from Midland, Tex,
to Hartford, Kan. The company claims
the cattle came from without the govern
meut quarantine line, and that all re-
quirements were complied with. After
the cattle were unloaded at Hartford
they were driven across the country in
Chase county for a distance of twenty five
miles and spread the Texas fever in
transit.
Charles Haber whose herd was dam
aged by the fever, together with a large
number of other owners of damaged
herds, brought suit against Hosier Bros.s
and recovered. Then they brought suit
against the railroad company that
brought the cattle in and got 146 judg-
menIs. These the road asks to have set
aside.
In the supreme court today ]. h. Scar
rett was granted a stay Of execution and
placed under $1,000 bonds pending re-
hearing. Scarrett was sentenced to the
penitentiary from Finney county for an
assault with intent t0 kill.

PORTRAIT OF BUNYAN.

A 2OO-Year-Old Painting of the Auth or OF
Pilgrims Progress on Show.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Thomas
Whitaker, the book publisher, has on
exhibition in his establishment an orig
inal portrait of John Bunyan, which was
painted probably two hundred and four
years ago. The picture was first the
property of the Rev George Whitefeld,
the great preacher, and is now the prop
ertY of Miss Adele Bolton, of Pelham
Priory, West Chester.
This portrait has an Interesting his
tory, and is the one from which the var
ious engravings of the author of "Pll-
grim's Progress" have been made. AS to
the painting of the picture, DR.. John
Brown of Bedford says in his life of But :
yam: "Charles Doe, 1892. says, 'his .
tigie was cut in copper from an original
paint, done to the life by his very good
friend, Iimper,'" but who this limner
was the writer does not tell.
The portrait is IA inches long by IA
inches wide, and is set in the original
frame, which was oace of gilt, but little
of the bright appearance remains today
in the time stained moulding. The
painting, which had become dim from
age, was restored in 1899 and ia in excel
lent condition.

An Tnvidious Companion.

Joseph Hatton, who accompanied Sir
Henry Irving on one Of his early tours
through the United States. tells an anec-
dote of a certain judge who relieved the
monetony of his court with quiet
though telling observation.
''And. gentlemen of the jury said a
certain fowery advocate, pleading before
his honor, las I stand at this bar today
in behalf OF a prisoner whose health is
such that he may at any moment be
called before a greater judge than the
judge of this court, p His honor rap
ped sharply on his desk. Counsel stop
ped suddenly, and looked up with an in
terrogation in his protesting face. 1.-THE
advocate said the court, with great
dignity, will please confne himself to
the case before the jury, and not permit
himself to make invidious comparisons. "

AWARDED TOFT. WAYNE co
The Contract for Lighting the City
Granted
BY THE CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT

1t was the Only Business Transacted
By the Council The Vote stood
Eight to Two.
In anticipation of lively time over the
contract for electric lighting apparatus
there was large crowd at the meeting
of the city council last night
1t had been decided to award the con-
tract and the councilmen had taken time
to make thorough investigation and
they were ready to voteu
The committee on lights, headed by
Councilman Elliott, the chairman, had
made the most thorough investig alton
possible, and had telegraphed inquiries
wherever it was thought that light on the
question of electrical equipment could
be obtained. Before the bids were sub
mitted Superintendent Marshall of the
city electric light plant had written num-
erous letters inquiring about the differ
ent kinds of machinery in use at electric
light plants in various cities.
The only question was which was the
better machinery, as the two bids con-
sidersd were only a few dollars apart.
The committee was satisfied that from
the evidence at hand the machinery of
the Fit. Wayne company was much su-
perior to that of the Western Electric
company, and a report was made accord
ingly, signed by Chairman Elliott and
Councilman Drew and Pattison. Coun-
Gilman Stephenson presented a minority
report in favor of the machinery of the
Western Electric company.
There had been but one unreasonable
man in the council and that was Council
man Bradford. He has played the role
OF a bulldozsr ever since he was elected
70 that body, and when be early decided
that the Western Electric company
should have the contract, and he cyl
IDENTIFY relied upon his ability to swing
the rest of the council his way, But
they rebelled. They refused to act on
the advice of the dictator and he was
chagrinned and could not help showing
it. Night after night he argued for
the Western Electric company ma
chinery, and night after night he
read kilograms and authorities" to prove
that the machinery of the FIT. Wayne
company was worthless and that of the
Western Electric company the paragon
OF efficiency and durability.
When the report of the committee was
presented last night Councilman Brad
ford again made his speech. 1t was over
an hour in length, and he again read his

Lightly o the Top of the Dome.


Lightly to the Top of the Dome.
1t is becoming quite the thing for any
old man to climb TO the dome OF the state
house aud the statement is not made in
a spirit of slang either.
Last week the aged father-in law of
Judge Adams climbed to the dome alone
and was not hurt and yesterday afternoon
two more old gentlemen did the same
thing.
They were Giles Ramsey who rode on
the first railway train in the United
States in 1888. He now lives in Nebras-
ka and is "a years old. The other young
man was Major J. B. Abbott of DeSote
who is II years of age.
Neither of them was very tired.
"Ten years from today we will meet in
the historical society rooms and do it
again" said Mr.. Ramsey, as he jumped
up aud cracked his heels together three
times.
THAT'S what we WILL" said Mr.. Abbott
as he turned hand spring.
And they shook hands on it.
