JAPAN's FIRST SKYSCRAPER,
4 Defiance TO Earthquakes in tho
City OF Toxic.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
over in Japan the people never have
dared to build their houses or stores
or office buildings hore than two or
three stories high. If they did the next
lively earthquake that came along
would tumble them all down. And yet
Japan has recently made long strides
toward civilization and is introducing
many of the wonders OF human indust-
ry which have characterized the civil
lization of America and Europe.
Recently an architect has drawn
plans for a fifteen-story "skyscraper"
to be built in the city Of Toxic and
the money has been secured TO COM
plete the work. 1t will have the usual
steel framework, and its architect
thinks that no earthquake ever will
shake it down. No doubt when it is
completed it will be a most remark
able sight, standing as it will, among
the low buildings of the city. 1t will
be provided with elevators, and the
japanese will have an opportunity for
the first time of experiencing the SEN
sation of falling ten or fifteen stories
and landing safely.

for Leedy to bring several hundred of

asking that, as a reward for their help
in electing set Of officers on a plat
form distasteful to them, they be re-
warded by being allowed to name a
United States senator to represent
the great state of Kansas for the
six years. 1t is true the pops vetoed
their nominee for vice president and
helped give the electoral vote of Kan
sas to Bryan and Sewall, but as the
country at large vetoed the latter by
almost million Of votes, there is
no pie for the democrats. Well, let
them fight it out but we'll wager a
100 cent silver dollar dollar against a
bushel basket full of PETERS whiskers
that the next U. S. senator will not
be democrat. AS long as the pops
can get offices, they are willing to
give the democrats the glory, but at
this point frienpship ceases. A pop
give up an office, oh no, that is not what
they are here for. Greed for office
caused their party to be born. Office
is their Alpha and Omega and a fell
low who is Waiting around thinking
they Will break their 'time honored"
custom and overlook a play like a U.

democrats and they will do it.

W. d. Street of Decatur was elect
ed speaker of the lower house of the
Kansas legislature and his first act
was to appoint his leading opponent
for the honor, W. f. Brown of Pratt
county, chairman of the committee
on railroads. The populists have pass
ed what they call the maximum
freight bill, reducing all freight rates
about one third, in one house or the
other at the last three meetings of
the legislature, but as the republicans
have continuously held power either
in the upper or lower house, they
have succeeded in killing the bill each
time when it was passed. Many popu-
lists have been opposed to the bill but
they felt safe in passing it knowing
that the republicans would kill it..
Now the pops have control of both
houses and we shall see whether they
were in earnest in their reform"
idea or simply passed this bill for
buncomb at former sessions. Line up
gentlemen on one side or the other;
your constituents are watching you.

The Outgoing Administration

In retiring from office the Repub-
lican state officials hand over to their
Populist successors every department
and public institution of the state in
a condition admittedly better than
when they received it from the Pop.
ulist administration of 1894 There
has never been, from the hour that the
Republicans officials assumed Office,
scandal in single institution in
their charge. There has never been a
breath of suspicion against the bust
ness capacity or the honesty Of the
men appointed to manage the public
institutions. A comparison of the
record of the administration just closed
with the Lewelling reform admins
tration just proceeding is a compari-
son between light and darkness, good
and evil, proven ability and proven
incompetency, clean, business-like
and honorable record with a record
that reeked with corruption and echo
ed and reechoed with scandals, brawls
and discussions utterly demoralized
to discipline and efficient government.
The state government was not only
ably and honestly conducted under
Governor Morrill, and his fellow state
officials, but it was conducted at less
expense than under the previous adj
ministration by something like 5000,
900.
Such record is one of which the
Republican party may well be proud
and that the new administration may
well emulate. The outgoing state
officers will retire to private life with
the consciousness of duties faithfully
discharged and of the respect of every
well informed citizen of Kansas. In
viewo the unprecedented coalition Of
all anti-Republican parties against
them, all hungering and thirsting
after the spoils of Office and already
threatening one another with venge-
ance unless compacts for the fair divi-
sion of the spoils are fulfilled, the 16O,-
600 votes received by the outgoing
officials are single tribute TO their
faithful service and proof of the
confidence and respect of the business
men and tax payers of the state.-To-
peka Capital.

A BABE In THE WOODS.

locked up; the laundress had express
doin up" before his return, but had
been strictly forbidden to touch any
thing under pain of the severest pen
alties And now, at the end OF the
first week of ruralizing, Gaydon felt
that he had nearly had enough OF
loneliness. The little village inn was
comfortable, and BOniface sufficiently
talkative; it was pleasant thing to
sit in the depth of the woods all day,
painting and dreaming; it was sooth-
ing to hear the twitter of the birds In
the early morning, before tumbllng
out of bed.
But Laurence Gaydon was a man
who lived best in the atmosphere Of
cafes; the music he best loved was the
ceaseless hum and chatter of a great
city. Let it not be thought that he
was, by reason of this, artificial in
any sense; his sympathies were too
broad for that, and one glance into
his gray eyes, with that lurking fire
of mischief in their depths, would
have convinced any man that he was
one to be trusted. Children thought
so, at all events, and there are no
more unerring judges than they.
He went out, on this day which he
- L T. loo
set up his easel in the woods and be-
gan to work. A little pathway ran
close to where he sat, on the borders
of the wood, and a stile crossed it, and
broke the tangled regularity of the
wild, unframed hedge.
He had been working for some
time, when he heard the sound Of APP
preaching footsteps. Something Of
frown crossed his face, for he had no
wish to be disturbed, and he was well
acquainted with the unmeaning stare
of the average rustic and it's discOn-
certing properties. Under these cir
cumstances he kept his head bowed
over his work and frowned more
heavily than before.
The steps which appeared rather
light for a rustic-stopped near him,
within few yards, and the next mo-
ment the silence was broken by the
clearest and sweetest tones he had
ever heard,
"Good morning!"
He glanced up quickly, and almost
dropped his palette in his surprise.
There, perched on the top of the
stile, was a dainty maiden, clad all in
white, with a great tapping hat shad-
ing her curls, and with little basket
resting in her lap. Her back was
partly turned toward him, and she
was glancing over her shoulder at the
canvas critically.
Laurence Gaydon pulled off his hat
and returned the greeting.
''What are you doing in my wood?"
she asked.
''I-I'm sure [ had no ideal didn't
I didn't know that | was trespass-
ing" he began hurriedly.
But she interrupted him calmly.
ooh! you needn't be frightened"
she exclaimed. 81 call it my wood,
because no one ever seems to come
