Topeka on the Right Side.

Kansas City has been arranging to
have maids of honor selected from ad-
joining towns to assist the Carnival
Queen at the festivities in October At
ChilicOthe, Mo-, the name Of Miss Edna
Whitney, o bright, refined young lady
who is a cigarmaker, was proposed. OBJ
lection was made to her by some persons,
which resulted in the Kansas City Car
nival committee debarring her on ac-
count of her occupation, 1t being stated
that society ladies were what was de-
sired. The matter was taken up by the
Kansas City and other papers, and the
committee rescinded it's action. In the
meantime the Topeka Carnival commit
tee rendered Miss Whitney an invita-
ton to preside as Queen Of the Topeka
Carnival. She accepted and withdrew
from the Kansas City affair.
II is to the credit of the Topeka Car
nival management that it does not de-
sire to become party to the drawing of
foolish, unnecessary dead-line between
those who live by the sweat Of their brow
and those who happen to be in such
financial condition that it Is not neces-
sary to labor in order to live. Miss
Whitney will be royalty treated during
her Topeka visit and will acquit herself
creditably. It is to the credit Of Kansas
that it's capital city should put itself on
record on the right side Of such Ques-
ton as was raised in Miss Whitney's
case

Don't Want Mortgages Paid.

All last year and for several years
previous loan companies adopted the
most stringent measures to collect Kan
sas mortgages. Interviews were given
out by loan officers of loan companies
in which it was stated that no more
loans were desired in Populist Kansas.
The Union Central Insurance Company
was one of the most active of these
companies. It's officers spent a lot Of
time talking about Kansas repudiators.
Now this company Is taking advantage
of every provision in its mortgages
which will enable it to continue those
which are in effect. A Sumner county
farmer was compelled to make an affi-
davlt that he was not borrowing the
money from another company to get
lower rate Of interest before this outfit
will accept payment Of his mortgage
before it was due. All this transpires
with every department of the govern
ment in the hands of the Popullsts

Thinks McNall is Right.

A well-known Eastern insurance mag
azine discusses the trouble between Su-
perintendent MCNall and the Mutual
Life of New York, and says:
"The Mutual Life Insurance Company
does business in Kansas only because
that State permits it, and the company
may be expelled from the State for any
reason and without any reason. We have
not before us at this writing the report
in the Continental case, but, unless we
are greatly in error, the court in that
case held practically that nOtwithstand-
ing the State law fOrbidding the appeal
by an insurance company to the Federal
courts was unconstitutional, the State
had the power to expel the company for
taking such appeal. In other words, the
court held that the State was without
restraint by the Federal Judiciary for
it's expulsion of a foreign corporation
not engaged in interstate commerce. II
this Kansas clash goes to the Supreme
court, and that court adheres to the rul-
ing which pervades all cases relating to
the States right and power over foreign
corporations not engaged in interstate
commerce, we cannot see upon what
grounds the Federal injunction will be
sustained Most sincerely hoping that
there are facts and arguments in the
Kansas clash which will sustain the Mu-
tual Life, we are the more convinced Of
the necessity for Federal regulation Of
insurance as interstate commerce"

others, but he did his part coolly and
well. Dying messages were delivered

bloody and torn. He had done his duty

About Penitentiary Escapes.

Occasionally Republican papers take
the liberty to charge that incompetency
is in evidence at the Penitentiary and
point to few scattering escapes as evil
dence Of that fact. During the period
from February /, 1896, to August 16,
1896, Warden Lynch had eight escapes,
of which four are still at large, three
we're recaptured and one has been cap
tured by Warden Lands. During the
same period in 1897 Warden Lands has
lost six men, Of whom two were caught
at once, one was killed while escaping
and three are still at large. All Of these
were TRUSTEES, men charged with small
offenses, while three of Lynch's escapes
were long-term men, one being life
prisoner and another under sentence to
hang. Warden Landis' showing is very
good and indicates that he is not care
less in handling the convicts.

One of the successful book and sta

Brett, 7S0 Kansas avenue It carries
everything III its line, does business in q
satisfactory way and is noted for fair

Brett has held the State House contracts
for supplying stationery for four out of
the past six years. All Of the goods
bought from a stationery house for the
past three Legislatures have passed over
his counters His business with the
State is conducted through the chief
clerk in the Secretary Of States Office,
and no man who has held that position
during the past six years has other than
the highest compliments for Mr.. Brett's
methods Of doing business. 1t Is the same
with individual customers. Advocate
readers who come to Topeka during the
Fall Festival will be specially welcome
at his place of business whether they
care to buy anything in his line or not.
The above references to Mr.. Brett are

Republican Row in Barton County.

Judge Ansel Clark's effort to work
the non-partisan racket for reelection
to secure the Republican nomination as
a side issue is making trouble in the
RiCe-B -BartOn-Stafford district. Judge
Nimocks, Of Great Bend, thought he
would be suitable timber for Judge and
that Clark should be allowed to work
his non-p partisan scheme without Repub-
lican aid. In the Barton county conven-
tion lively fight occurred in the cleo
ton of delegates. Clark beat Nimocks
by small majority after very bitter
contest NimOcks withdrew, but the con-

fought battle that it is not likely that

Deserve Credit as Honest Men.

The Executive Council recently let two
State House contracts They were
awarded to Republicans, who were the
lowest bidders. Men of the same pOliti-
cal faith as the council were but a little
higher, but they were not the lowest
and they lost the contracts. This action
is in marked contrast with that of their
Republican predecessors, who devised
various cunning schemes to give these
contracts to favorites, irrespective Of
who was the lowest bidder. The Popu-
list course is the only honorable one and
the State officers would have credit for
being honest men.

BOYLE Wins an Important Point,

The stock yards case has been argued
before Judge Foster. The decision is
not yet public, but one strong point has
been gained by Attorney General Boyle.
Judge Foster holds that the good will of
the company should not be considered
as an asset for the purpose of figuring
on reasonable rates for services per-
formed. This cuts off something like
S2,0000OO of valuation upon which it
was contended the company should earn
dividends.

Stryker Advises Cheaper Insurance.

Investigations made by State Super
intendent Stryker through the County
Superintendents of the State leads to the
belief that about three to four times as
much is being paid for insurance on
school buildings as is paid by the COM
panies in losses. Mr.. Stryker believes
that the State or county could carry
these risks by assessing each district in
proportion to the value of it's property,
for one-fourth to one-third Of what is
now being paid for such insurance.

Woman Kills Bear with Rolling
Pin and Carving Knife.
Florida has brave girl in the per-
son of Miss Marie Robinson, who lives
two miles from Fort Pierce on Cedar
Hammock. While she was making
bread the other day she was startled by
the appearance Of young black bear
close beside her, standing on its hind
feet. Raising a big hard wood rolling
pin she brought It down whack on the
bears snout. Bruin did not like this
treatment, and advanced toward the
girl, fencing with it's forepaws. Again
Miss Robinson delivered a blow at her
advancing foe, but the bear had learn
ed wisdom, and he deftly parted the
blow with his right paw. He then
caught Miss Robinson's dress with his
other paw, tearing 1t from the shoul-
der. In return she gave him straight
right-hander with the roller. which
caught him under the ear and sent him
down.
Bruin scrambled up from the second
round, and was pretty mad. He shut
fed up to the girl. warily keeping both
forepaws extending and growing an
grily. Miss Robinson again landed a
right roller, hitting him squarely be-
tween the eyes. AS soon as he recov-
cred from the stunning effects of the
blow he endeavored to grasp the girl
in his paws. Selling big carving
knife that lay on the table Miss Robin
son lunged forward with it, its blade
penetrating the bears neck. A bright
