TOPEKA, Kan, April 1l.-When the
bribery investigation committee adj
iourned Thursday. Senator l.. d.
Lewelling, Representative Frank H.
Smith and ex-Representative Dave
Hanna were in disgrace. When the
committee adjourned yesterday Level
ling was deeper in disgrace than ever.
Hanna was where Representative
Metzler had left him, and
Smith had changed places with
Representative Clark, who made
the charge of attempted bribery
against him. Lcwclling's additional
troubles were caused by brother
Senator-Titus- sworc that Lew
elling sought to corrupt him by hold
ing out dishonest inducements for him
to work against the school bill. This
charge, coming on the top of the coal
lands story, told Thursday by Warden
Lands of the penitentiary, created a
profound sensation and furnished Lew

States Judge c. G. Foster gave a par

against the complainant on the follow

terms and uniform in Its operation.
Second-The Kansas City stock yards is

the divine One, been misunderstood?
Her tears were dripping on the waxen
petals of the flowers. Burying her face
in their cool depths, n fcrvent prayer
rose from her heart.
The next morning was bright and

the heart of the spinster repeated the
words over and over. At the close of

asked Sadie in so sympathetic tone
that the girls eyes opened wide.
What little woman you nre, Sadie,
to keep the children so quiet through
church. Here's note for your father.
You can tell him I will come over and
talk TO him after dinner. I'll bring your
mamma some of my ounce jelly. Poor

& John Grant was discouraged and dis
heartened. yet for his wife's sake he had
tried to be cheerful that Easter morn

his hand he opened it and read, while
happy tears coursed down his cheeks:

Astounding In Sensations.


TOPEKA, Kan, April 13.-Yesterday's
proceedings of the bribery investigat-

governor, state senator and member of
the board of railroad commissioners.
James Butler, once the editor of pop

cling in the Wichita normal affair.
Representative Marks, OF jefferson

$1,000 by agents Of the American Book
Co. for his vote, but was unable to
give their names. Dave Hanna. who

his vote on the railroad bill, denied
the charge, and said that Metz
Ter had intimated to him that he would
like to get next to the railroads.

Maggie obeyed.

Trembling with fear, Maggie started.
Upon reaching the street, she broke
into run. AS for Miss Sarah, she car
ried the mysterious package into the
dining-room, lighted a lamp, pulled
down the window shades. locked the
door and sat down TO think. Efiic

Maggie meant about Easter? A mo-

Easter as well as AL Fools day. She
felt twinge of conscience as she re-
membered that her anger against the
prospective pranks of the boys had
blotted out her memory Of Christ's
proven Immortality. She came back to
the present with u start. There lay
the bundle.
"Why don't open it?" she queried.
"Of course, it's all nonsense. As likely

maid"
Upon removing the paper she found
u pasteboard box. Taking off the cover
she hold her breath in astonishment.
There. on a bed of softest moss, lay
great clusters of Easter lilies. The
woman felt her anger slipping from
her. and an uneSplainable hush seemed
to settle down upon her. Reverently
lifting the card tied to the lilies. she
read: I'm loving remembrance of the
