At THE STATE HOUSE.
Secretary Davis Was Not In a
Pleasant Frame of Mind
When He Found There Was
But SI.64
In the Treasury for Him After His
Services for the State Sol
diers' Home.

J A. Davis of this city is the mad
dest man in Kansas. He occupies the
position Of secretary of the board OF
managers of the state soldiers home
and when he went to the office OF the
state auditor to secure a voucher for
his first months services found put
1854 in the treasury. Chairman ems
ham and Treasurer Anderson preceded
Mr.. Davis to that department and Sc
cured their remuneration as provided
by law
The appropriation for the board OF
managers for the home was elther IN
adequate or the Republican board made
a successful effort to consume all OF the
money set apart for mileage and per
diem of the members. The small bal
ance now in the treasury is all that the
present board has with which to pay
its expenses until July l, the beginning
Of the next fiscal year. At that time
but 81, 900 is available for these purposes
when the records of the department
show that during the past few years
the per diem and mileage of members
in the actual discharge of their duties
as directors, averaged from $1,000 to
S14CO.
The law requires that the managers
visit the home at least once month
and for the services rendered during
the past four weeks the present board
presented vouchers for payment. Mr..
Davis was highly indignant as a man
might well be. who pays out money for
expenses including railroad fare and
hotel bills, thinking that the state treas
ury is behind him. when in reality there

o'clock all was in readiness and one
of the most remarkable excursions
ever undertaken started on the journey
south. The Monon officials had taken
every precautiOn to insure the safety
of the trains. Every foot of track be-
TWEEN here and Jeffersonville was in
spected fifteen minutes before the
train passed and every bridge was
carefully examined before it went over.
Even the switches were spiked and
the trains were given the right of way
over everything.
No stops were made for crossings,
Governor Mount having given permis-
sion for this violation of the state law
and no stops were made except for the
purpose of changing engines or taking
water. The train was in personal
charge of F. w. Quimby, trainmaster
of the Monon, and the crew was COM
posed of picked men, veterans in the
service. who could be relied upon in
an emergency. The Monon wrecking
train was under orders all day, ready
to start at a, moments notice in case
of accident.

Wholesale REMOVALS.
Summary Action at the Agricultural
College Said to be Due to Presi-
dent Fairehild

That the removal of Is professors at
the state agricultural college was due
to political motives on the part of the
board of regents, remains an undlsput-
ed fact, and ii is said this action is
based mainly upon the action OF Presi-
dent Fairchild.
The professors who have been remov-
ed, or disposed is prOba bly, q more pO-
lite expression, are as follows:
George T. Fairchild, Ii. D, president
professor of Logic and Philosophy.
George H. Failysr, M s, professor of
Chemistry and MineraIogy.
Edwin A. Popenoe, A. M, professor OF
Entomology and Zoology.
David Z. LantZ, M. s., professor OF
Mathematics.
Mrs. Nellie S. Kedzie. NJ. s., professor
of Household Economy and Hygiene.
Mrs. Elida Z. Winchip, superintend-
ent of sewing.
of Music
John S. c. Thompson, superintendent
of printing.
Francis H White. A NJ, professor of
History and Political Science.
Charles c. Georgeson, M S, professor
of Agriculture and superintendent of
farm.
siIas c. Mason. NJ. s. professor of
Horticulture and superintendent of
orchards and gardens.
Ira D. Graham, A. M, secretary, in
structOr in Bookkeeping.
Nelson S. Mayo, D. V s., NJ. s., pro-
fessOr Of Physiology and Veterinary
Science.
Those of the faculty who will be re-
tanned are as follows:
John D. Waters, NJ s, professor of
Language and Literature.
Oscar E.. Olin, professor OF English
Language and Litherature.
Ozni P. Hood, NJ. S, professor of Ne
chanics and Engineering, superintend-
ent of workshops.
TTrer7a TfnI -

Julius T. Willard. NJ. s.. associate
professor of Chemistry.
Miss Josephine c. Harper. instructor
in Mathematics.
Miss Alice Rupp, instructor in Eng
ish.
Thomas E. Will, A. NJ, professor of
Political Economy.
Miss Julia r. Pearce, B. s., librarian.
President Fairchild, so it is claimed,
took politics into the institution during
the campaign. He was an ardent Re-
publican and IS said to nave made
strong effort to upbuild the gold stand
ards interest among the pupils who
are for the most part sons of farmers,
many of whom We're for free silver.
It is further stated that the president
busted himself in securing passes for
supporters of Mckinley to go home to
vote while the POpuIists who were at
tending the school were compelled to
pay their railroad fare or stay away
from the polls.
Another charge is made by the Popu-
lists that Mr.. Fairchild lObbted against
the pet measure of the POpulists, the
school text book bill
When asked if any such action as
the removal of professors and other
members of the faculty or the chancel-
lor of the state university was in con-
temptation, William Rogers said to

A CONVICT EXCURSION.
Indiana Makes a Big Change in the
Location of Her Grim nal Colony

Michigan City, Ind, April 12.-Prob-
ably the largest transfer of prison con-
victs that ever took place in this coun-
try was successfully carried out today
Two hundred and ninety-one prisoners
from the Michigan City prison were
put on a special MonOn train and taken
to JeffersOnVille. while from the latter
place 1856 prisoners were sent here.
The utmost secrecy was observed as
to the time of departure, even the
guards selected to accompany the pris-
oners from here being kept in ignor-
ance. Sunday noon the gates of the
prison were locked and the tedious job
of selecting the prisoners to be trans
ferred was begun. This consumed
most of the afternoon The men were
given an extra supper and locked in
their cells for the night.
At 4 o'clock this morning the real
work of the transfer began. The prison
ers were routed out and ten selected
guards assisted the blaCksmiths in riv-
citing the shackles to the prisoners. Two
at a time they were taken from their
cells and their legs shackled- About
two hours time was consumed in this,
and then the prisoners were taken to
the dining room for the last time, where
breakfast was served them. While
this was going on the train which was
to convey the prisoners to Jsffersonville
was backed into the north gate. It
consisted of nine cars, the first coach
a hospital car, the next six for the con-
VictS, one car for the militia company
A of indianapolis, who were to assist
in guarding the prisoners, and one for
the press AS soon as breakfast y as
finished the men were lined up and
marched to the train. First came the
invalids, eight of them. who were con
veyed to their car in cots, then the rest
of the motley crowd, stumbling from
the unaccustomed leg shackles, were
bundled on board Three guards and
two TRUSTEES were locked in each car.
Every precaution had been observed
against an outbreak. The windows
were not barred. but everything that
might be used as weapon had
been removed, even the doors removed
from the water closets and the air
brake apparatus taken away.
The guards had no weapons except
their heavy canes, but the prisoners
were not allowed to leave their seats,
anything they might require being
brought to them, and orders had been
