Blankets which have been used all win
ter. no matter how white, arc never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves BY
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in xashing. But
this is mistake, for IL tho work Is prop
erly done NO shrinking will take place, and
the heecy soft appearance may be retained,
as well the color, for yearx. The necessary
thing In washing blankets Il to have plenty
Of soft water and good pure soap Inferior
soap is really the cause of the damage
done woolen goods In washing. 1t hardens
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, I'LL tub half full Of hot
water. Dissolve third of cake Of Ivory
Soap In it. Put one blanket in at Q time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap on blankets,
or wash them on the washboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse In warm water
uatil free OF suds. Add little bueinR to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under . weight for day or two,
and pack securely in box and cover
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well ~ wear three
times as long As II put away soiled year

FRIDAY FOR CARNIVAL NIGHT
The Young Men Will Probably be
Given What They Want

At the meeting of the Committee
of Fifteen tonight Mr.. A. w. Dana who
is now a member of the committee Will
ask for decisive action on the Carnival
question.
Mr.. Dana is strongly in favor of a
Carnival-in fact, he thinks that was
the best feature of the Festival last
year, and he wants to see the Carnival
given due consideration. The Commit
tee has been disposed to slight the Car
niVal feature.
At first they proposed not to have it
at all, but the pressure for a Carnival
has been great, and then Saturday was
set apart and called Carnival day."
Everyone realizes that Saturday is not
the time for the Carnival. and Mr.. Dana
will have an understanding tonight.
ITO make Saturday Carnival day
means that some one is trying TO kill
the Carnival. The Carnival should be
held on Friday night, and unless the
Committee sees its way clear to set
apart that time for the purpose there
is no use to talk about it. A Carnival
cannot be held on Saturday night"
After the matter is adjusted tonight

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
The New Salary Law Goes Into
Effect Today.
1t Will Save $11,76O in Two
Years at the Capitol.
News of the State Departments-Per-
sonals and Notes.

The executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill passed by the last legislature
will save during the fiscal years ending
June 80, 1898, and June 80, 1899, a total
of $11, 760.
This saving arises from reductions in
salaries of employees at the state house,
clerks of state boards and through var
ious sources by which general eco
nomic expenditure of the states money
was ordered.
The board of public works is dead.
The state fish commissioner is also
without money to run his office, but
Gov. Leedy found man who was will
ing to take the place for the honor there
is in it and he was appointed.
The contingent fund in the govern
or's office is raised from $4,000 to IS, 900,
and from this Major A. P. Shreve is
being paid at the rate of $75 per month
for clerical work in the office. The law
does not provide for the employment
of additional help, but the governor has
it just the same.
Beginning today the majority of the
clerks in the state house will work at a
reduced salary in accordance with the
provisions of the executive and judicial
appropriation bill.
The contingent funds for the state
auditor, treasurer, secretary of state,
state superintendent, superintendent of
insurance and the salaries and other
appropriations for the state bank COM
missioner, remain unchanged.
The reductions in the various offices
are as follows:
In the governors office: Private sec
rotary 1000 to 81, 800; stenographer from
81 900 to $700, messenger and typewriter
5000 to $780,
Adjutant general from 1900 to ST.
400
In the office of the secretary of state:
Assistant secretary from 81, 900 to ST.
$50; chief clerk from 81 200 to $1,000, COM
mission clerk from 81, 900 to 5000, record
ing clerk combined with work of stenogo
rapher at $1,000. Two clerks at $1,000
are entirely omitted.
Assistant state auditor from $1,000 to
81 $50, land office clerk 81, 200 to $1,000,
appropriation clerk 81, 200 to 81 900.
The salary of the assistant state

HEAT EXPANDS RAILS.
Half Mile of Track Hurled Instantly
From the Roadbed.

Fisher, Mimi, July IA disastrous ac-
cident which would undoubtedly have
caused great loss of life was narrowly
averted on the Great Northern railway
near this place today. Thomas Hunter, Il
section foreman, by acting quickly saved
the westbound passenger train from being
wrecked. Hunter and his gang had been
working along the road all day, and were
suddenly startled by seeing fully half
mile OF track lifted from the roadbed and
thrown into a ditch. In some places it
was thrown feet from the roadbed and
down a steep embankment. The men say
it was done quickly that they could
hardly realize what had happened. 1t
looked if some supernatural power had
lifted the track from the ground and
hurled it aside. The weather had been
intensely hot, and it is supposed that the
rails were expanded by the heat and fin
ally lifted and thrown described.
Hunter knew that the westbound pas
senger train was nearly due and that
the engineer, because of a sharp curve,
would not see the gap where the track
had been torn up until he was almost
onto it. He ran down the track and sue
ceeded in reaching the curve in time to
signal the train before it reached there.
The air brakes were put on and the train
stopped within 800 feet of the gap in the

it and said nothing because I supposed 1t
was the legal charge. A short time after
ward I had similar proceeding before
another Justice When 1 asked him how
much he charged he said s.. I was dumb
founded but if it had not been for the
second case I would never have known
that the first justice had charged me
more than legal fees.
Our justices ought to be put on sal
aries. They should not be paid a premium
for encouraging litigation. Of course
that is a matter to be adjusted by the
legislature but the tax payers should see
that it is done.
1.-The tax payers have vital interests in
the affairs of the city. They pay the bills
and they can not be too vigilant. I think
that we should have at least 200 tax pay
ers in our league"
Mr.. Snattinger puts the figure low.
The league, if its object is to provide bet
ter government for the city and county
should number its members by thousands.
1t is a step outside OF the political par
tisanship that is curse to every COM
munity.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR MINERS.
$4,000 Coal Miners of the State are
Working but One to Three
DAYS q Week.

According to the statements made by
George T. McGrath, state mine IN
spector restitution and distress are
very likely to confront the miners of
Kansas before the close OF the present
hot season.
Continuation of the light demand for
coal will make matters worse during
July than during June. The demand
for coal will probably increase about
the 1st of August, but then the demand
will not be sufficient to assure work to
the Is 900 miners in the state.
These men, said Mr.. McGrath to
a Journal reporter today, ARE working
but one to three days a week and will
be unable to secure more work at least
during the month of July.
I'm addition to the lack of work there
is also a very unhealthy condition in
some of the mines. The operators are
not taking the care which should be
taken in the enforcement of the laws
covering mining. not only to the
condition of the interior, but in the
management of the mines.
There are some provisions of the
law which are being constantly Violat-
ed, and propose, If possible, to put
stop to it"
Mr. McGrath is a member of the leg
islature from Crawford county and was
one of the earnest supporters of the
maximum railroad bill. He does not
feel that it would be possible to do
anything better than was done last
winter at a special session.
He said: IF we could do anything
more towards relieving the distress of
the people and redeeming the prom
ises of the last campaign, 1 should be
in favor of it. However much the gov
ernor and other state officers may de-
sire a special session, 1T is my opinion
that it would be unwise to call one
until we have assurances that some
thing can be accomplished With the
present legislature I do not believe that
it would be possible to secure the en-
actment of the maximum rate railroad
bill.
1.-The legislation proposed for a spe-
cial session is unquestionably needed
but the present situation would not Sc
cure what the people demand. The men
who went back on US have not changed
their minds and will not do so. Conse-
quently it is unwise to even think
about depending upon them to give us
the relief which we need so much"
