AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Henry E. Taintor of Hartford, Conn.,,
has been appointed by Governor Leedy
as commissioner of deeds for the
state of Kansas.
Messrs Jones and MCGEE, two vic
Tins of the Lang wreck, were able to
leave the Santa Fee hospital Wednes-
day. They were postal clerks.
Chas. w. Price, editor of the Electric
Review, of New York, was in Topeka
Wednesday. Mr.. Price had been Wis
iting his parents at Wellington and
was on his way home.
The Mu1vane Policy sheet is out
with its regular weekly scarehead-fake.
AS it is getting to be SO generally rec
ognized among it's few readers, partic-
u1arly in reform lines, that all of its
statements are to be taken with suf-
ficiency of salt, we deem the present
strain on its imagination unworthy of
serious attention.
The late Supreme court reports, by
G. c. Clemens, are spoken of by the
attorneys and others interested as the
most complete and best planned of any
ever issued. The index is especially
comprehensive and reduces the diff

sit would seem that the proper thing
for most of the banks of Kansas, and
especially for those in smaller towns,
to do, would be to take out burglar in
surance," said Bank Commissioner
Breidenthai yesterday. "This is en-
phasized by the recent robbery of ST.
200 of the Bank of Vermillion. This
bank had s. 900 burglar insurance and
consequently the loss will not be felt
a great deal. "Singular1y enough the
banks of Kansas are very lax in this
one particular. Out of eight banks
that have been robbed In the state in
the last two years, only two have had
insurance covering burglary. One
of the latter was the McLouth bank
which was robbed of 81 900 some time
ago. The bank received from the casu-
atty company g, 200 in cash and new
safe valued at $500"
Evidence of the existence of a gil
gantic coal combine bin Kansas has
been prepared at Newton and will at
once be sent to the Attorney General
for suit to be brought under the anti
trust law. It is claimed that all the
operators, jobbers and retail mer-
chants of this state, Arkansas and
Indian Territory have combined in an
attempt to raise the price of coal and
to keep it mp. All the coal men are in
it, except a few who would not join
the pool. The retail merchants who
did not join the pool now find that
they can not buy ton anywhere at
any price, of any coal operator or fac
tor in the state. They have been boy
cotted and are being run ont of bust
ness.

Advice about the Care OF the Eyes.
1t is remarkable fact that the eyes,
the most delicate and sensitive organ
of the human body, are more apt to be
neglected than any other. If we re-
member that pair of really good
eyes is vouchsafed US but once, that
they are worthy the best of care, and
that they should never be overworked
or neglected, they will doubtless abide
with us in the faithful performance of
their functions until, like the deacon's
lone boss shay" we go to pieces in
toto, instead of by sections.
To this desirable end few "don'ts"
are quite worth while impressing upon
the memory:
Don't sleep so that on awakening
the eyes shall open on the light of the
window.
Don't read, sew, or use the eyes for
any close work Immediately after
hearty meal or before breakfast.
Don't sew or read directly in front of
the light of a window.
Don't use the eyes after you are in
stinctively inclined to rub them.
Don't use eye-washes, ointments, or
poultices.
Don't delay getting glasses if you
begin to hold your book or paper more
than eight inches from the eye.
Don't allow children to study with
the direct rays of sunshine falling on
their book or desk.
Don't try to read by a Pickering
light.
Don't read on the cars.
Don't use the eyes continuously for
close work. When WEAKNESS arises
close them for little while, or walk
out and use the eyes on distant objects,
so as to change the range and lessen
the fatigue.
Don't try to save gas and readily
partial or imperfect light.
Don't try to work in the "blind
mans holiday"
Don't use hot applications on the
eyes, unless by doctors orders.
Don't sleep in a room with a light.
Don't read lying down.
Don't believe that the early use of
glasses is harmful in the end. When
eyeglasses will improve the sight
they should be worn.

at 10 o'clock Saturday morning 10 pre-
vent possible delays from the lack OF
quorum there were only fifty-one MEM
bers present when the house met Sat
urday. Richardson, DEM, promptly
blocked proceedings but the members
streamed in rapidly and in fifteen min
utes a quorum had appeared. The
ways and means committee continued
to offer amendments from time to time
and these were mostly adopted without
opposition. The rate on acetate of
white lead was increased from 3ls TO
cents per pound; in colors from 21a to
cents. In the course of some remarks
on these increases, Richardson declared
that the rates in twelve out of the four
teen schedules of the bill were higher
than those of the Mckinley law.
Doclery Asks a Question.
Dockery, DEM, asked how that state

statement that the rates in this bill av-

law and the act of 1890. Richardson
replied that the comparative statement
did not support Dingley's assertion.
Richardson went through the schedules
