Gwin Hicks, the democratic member
OF the state administration, takes a COM
mon sense view of the situation in this
state, in his letter to Democratic State
Committeeman Troy, when he argues in
favor of continued fusion Of the reform
forces. The reform forces Of the peoples
party constitute all Of the active reform
elements of the state, and by unity Of
action they can accomplish much-have,
in fact, accomplished much-and only
by the republican partisan or the
theughtless or reckless contingent of the
peoples party will in any way obstruct
the finn fusion OF these active reform
forces. Only by diversion of the re-
form party's ranks can the common ell
envy of reform win in 1898 or 1900. The
Republicans realize that fact and are
urging those over whom they have any
influence in the peoples party to rebel
and repudiate the fusion movement

Mrs. Theodore Birney of Washington,
president of the congress, stood at Mrs.
Clevelands left and attempted to intro

all that the ushers could do to keep
the ladies from mobbing Mrs. Cleveland
in their anxiety to get a look at her.
They turned around and backed out
in many instances in awkward attempt
to get a last look.
Mrs. Cleveland wore a gown of dark
red cloth, the waist in bolero effect,
with black braiding, and a wide girdle
of black satin. There were no special
decorations, but the greens from the
last state reception were most of them
in place at the chandeliers and the
large shields of immortelles were yet
on the columns by the doors leading
into the corridors.
The ladies pushed and crowded until
the whole scene was one of utmost con-
fusion. At IL o'clock, before half of
them had shaken Mrs. Clevelands
hand, she was obliged to excuse her
self and withdraw to another part of
the house, where she had an appoint
ment with other visitors. Then the
women on the edge of the crowd, grad

crowded out, left the mansion, and not
one failed to adjust her hat and draw
a long breath as she stepped out into

subject, and the papers are prepared

table talks, and everyone present is in

REPUBLICANS ELECT KYLE
They Took This Method of Humiliat-
ing Pettigrew.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 19.-The break came
in the Dakota deadlock yesterday and
Senator Kyle was reelected. The Re
publicans voted solidly for him.
The Populists shifted from man to
man, but the Republicans were solidly
for Kyle. With the solid Republican
vote and the Populists who stayed by
him he secured enough votes to pull
through.
1t was apparent that there was no
possibility of electing a Republican.
When the joint assembly met the Re-
publican senators voted for Picker by
Encouragement, but when the Repub-
ncans on the house roll call were
reached they commenced voting for
Kyle. :.
The ballot was: Kyle, 65; Plowman
Al; Goodykoontz, IL; Palmer, 1; Gree
ley, 4; Hincl1ley, 1.
Congressman Picker worked all
night to harmonic the Republican
forces and line the1p for Kyle, and ap-
pears as happy as though he had been
elected. Six Democrats voted for
Kyle.
In an interview Senator Kyle denied
that he had made any deal with the Re-
pulicans. He declared he is a Populist
still, had not changed his principles, and
that the Republicans came to him SOL
idly because they thought Senator Pet
tigrew was against him and they wished
to humiliate Pettigrew.

THE SCALPER.
he is a Big Factor in Determinations

ne IS q Big FACTOR IN DETERMINATIONS
One of the greatest factors that oper-
ates in connection with determinations in
passenger fares is the scalper. He can
cut rates to suit himself. while the rail-
road companies must give formal notice
when they wish to give special reduc-
lions.
The scalper does more to demoralize
the railroad business than almost any
one other means to end. He democrat
ICES the passenger by inducing him to
perSonate some one else and to forge the
ticket.
The interstate commerce commission
has denounced him and proposes RENE
dy. A bill is now before congress which
will prevent scalping and insure justice
to the railroads and the general travelling
public.
Railroad companies are more and more
restricting stop-over and other privileges
to excursion ticket buyers because of the

There are honest scalpers. but as rule
what is said by the Interstate commerce
commission, as follows, is true:

Guided to make some experiments with
iced tea, the popular summer drink. The
result of his investigation is given in
his own words:

of the restaurants in town to get a fair
average of the article used / took a
teaSpoonful of the liquid to the house
hold pump; il was stirred into a large
tub filled with water, and in a moment
the color of the tea had disappeared.
Anyone will admit that this solution
would seem harmless even to the
healthy lower animals. We had some
young puppies in the barn yard and
procured two of the smallest of them;
they were allowed to lap at the liquid
and then their heads were held under
the water for Is minutes. 1t resulted in
the death of both the puppies and the
dangerous properties of the decOctlon
were apparent"
