WHAT strikes us as a very good sug

WHAT strikes us as a very good sug-
gestion is one to hold special session
of the legislature not alone to secure
the passage of a railroad bill but to
pass a bill giving requisite powers to the
bribery investigating committee and
have them proceed. The people OF
Kansas, irrespective of party, have an
old fashioned idea that boOdling is not
the proper way to do business in legis-
lative halls, and that whoever it hits,
populists or republicans, they should
be punished.

SENATOR HARRIS has succeeded in
getting his resolution urging the Dresi-
dent in conformity with law to pay off
the lines Of the Union Pacific railroad
adverse to those of the government
and take possession, management and
control OF the road, reported favOrably
from the committee. This is quite an
accomplishment for a new member of
the senate and shows that he is be-
coming a power already, especially in
this mos important matter. There is
only one question as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of the procedure, and that is the
amount of these adverse lines. But as
under the administrations scheme to
sell the governments lines, it would
get not more than half their face
value out of them, the gOyernment
can afford to pay very good price for
the road in such an operation as a
business proposition, to say nothing of
making an entry on the grand prin-
ciples of government ownership.

COSTLY GAMBLING HOUSE.
The Finest in the World to be Erected
on Jesse Grants Concession.

San Francisco, May 21.-It has leaked
out here that the concession obtained
by Jesse Grant and his associates from
the Mexican government for lands sur
rounding the famous hot springs of Tia
Juana, across the boundary line covers
also a privilege for running a lottery
and gambling devices. 1t is said that
Grant does not intend to enter the
business, but eastern people are pre-
pared to take control OF this feature of
the concession while Grant attends to
the colonization and development of
the mineral waters.
The identity of the eastern people is
not known, but it has been learned that
the Dryers have been figuring on the
purchase of the Rierson and San An
tonic ranches, some miles below Tia
Juana, to be used for raising racing
stock.
local real estate man who is
handling the matter for Grant and his
associates, is authority for the state
ment that the intended purchasers de-
clare they will build the finest gam
bling house in the world at the springs,
to cost 81, 600 900, to include every game
of chance known, with a lottery in con-
nection. The deal is to be closed this
week. Tia Juana is about Il miles
from San Diego.

here to Cleburne, Tex. This is in line
with the policy recently inaugurated by
the company of concentration and re-
trenchment in the way Of expenses
RMS removal of the machine and car
shops means a loss on monthly dis
bursements in wages of from $4,000 to
$4,000.
This Galveston does not want to lose
and a public meeting is called for to-
night to protest against the removal of
the shops and perhaps formulate some
line of action to restrain the company
from making such removal 1t is esti-
mated that the concentration of the
main shops of the company at Cleburne,
Tex, will cause an increase in the pop
ulatiOn of that town of about $500 and
cause a large monthly expenditure in
wages.
It will be readily seen what Galveston
viii lose and Cleburne viii gain. Gle
burne, however. being the junction point
Of the Paris and Weatherford branches
with the main line, is regarded by the
company as the most available as
well as economic location for the main
shops of the line.
The removal, however. will work a
hardship on many of the mechanics in
the shops here, who have purchased
homes on the monthly installment plan
which they will have to sacrifice.

HAIL KILLS THE SHEEP.
Heavy Storms in New Mexico-Santa
Fe Wires are Down.

Denver, Col, May 21.-According to
dispatches from New Mexico, heavy
rains have so swollen the Rio Grande
and other streams that considerable
damage has already been done and
more is threatened. The valley north
and south of Albuquerque is inundated.
The small Mexican villages of Ranch
ers De AttiscO, Los PadiIIos, Barelas
and Atrisco, near Albuquerque, are
partly submerged and a number of
houses are surrounded by two feet of
water. If the rise continues and the
Rio Grande sweeps over its bank to a
greater extent than at present, a great
number of adobe houses will be washed
down. valley farms will be obliterated
and there will be great distress among
the small farmers. A number of men
are watching the dyke north of Albu-
Querque. 1t is believed there is no
immediate danger of it's giving way
A heavy hail storm killed thousands
of lambs, besides a great number of
sheep.
Near Las Vegas and Springer and up
through the Red river country, streams
are reported out of their banks and
bridges washed away, impeding travel
for several days. Considerable damage
is reported in the Las Vegas Hot
Springs canyon One of the dams of
the Las Vegas Water company was
carried out 1t is impossible to ford
the Canadian river Wires along the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
Denver & Rio Grande railroads in New
Mexico are Frustrated.

A DOG THAT SNAPPED.
Disappeared Under Circumstances
That Suggests the City Did It.
liz East Sixth St.

An elderly lady of commanding pres
ence and with a determined look on her
face walked into police headquarters
this morning and asked Jailer John
Dagg if he knew anything about her
little dog. The jailer replied that he
didn't, and mentioned incidentally that
the police didn't traffic in CANNES now.
"WeIl, I didn't know but that my dog
had been brought down here" said the
woman q live at 1922 West Eighth
street. This morning someone came
and took my dog out of the yard Now.
1 don't think they have a right to do
that. He is one of those black and
tans and he sometimes snaps a people
but he won't bite them. But Mayor
Fellows boy has leased him until he
has just spoiled him. One time the boy
teased him and he ran Mrs. Fellows
and her children clear around the cor
ner. They say he is a vicious dog Yes
terday the dog tax collector came
around and said that he would have to
refund the tax to me as the dog was re-
ported to be vicious and that I must get
rid of him. I gave him back the tag
and he gave me the money Now, this
morning someone came in to the yard
and took that dog. My daughters think
lots of him and don't think it's right
at ALL
JaiIer Dagg politely suggested that
the proper person to see would be DR..
HapgOOd the man who is authorized by
the city to perform the last sad rites
over the brute creation. The lady walk
ed from the station, and as she left she
said: IF they have the right to come
into my yard and take my dog away
it's all right, but if they haven't I'll put
them through

MISS BRIGGS THE FIRST.
Daughter of the Alleged Hereto
Graduares From Union Seminary.

Daughter of the Alleged Hereto
Graduates From Union Seminary.
New York, May 21.-The first woman
who ever received a sheepskin from the
faculty of the Union Theological semi
nary grasped in affectionate hold the
valuable document last night, the oc-
CASTOR of the sixty-first annual anniver-
sary and commencement of the semi
nary. The interest caused by her sex was
doubled by the fact that she was Emile
Grace Briggs, daughter of Prof. c. A
Briggs. who was suspended by the gem
eraI assembly, after a trial for heresy.
in 1894. DR.. Briggs is still a member of
the faculty of the seminary, although he
cannot take any interest in it's workings
before the ban of suspension has been re-
moved.
Miss Briggs is in her twenty-first year,
and before entering the seminary was
educated at a private school. She carr
ried off first honors, passing the men,
who congra tulated her heartily.
Not only did she receive the sheepskin
of the seminary, but she was the first to
receive the degree of Bachelor of Divin-
ity, conferred by the board of regents OF
the University of the State of New York.
upon graduates of the Union seminary
last night for the first time. And with
the degree came the additional honor,

thinks life sacred and to destroy it a
crime.
During the worlds fair her mother in
troduced her to Perusha Tan Rao Te-
lang, a highcaste Brahmin priest. who
was there as a delegate to the Worlds
Congress of Religions The priest be
came greatly interested in Louise and
her views regarding the sacredness of
animal life and told Mrs. Lease that
without a doubt the child was rein
carnation That he was deeply i'm
pressed is proved by the fact that he
came clear from Chicago to Wichita af-
ter the Worlds fair for no other reason
than to see the child. His appearance
here in his rich oriental garb nearly
scared the people in the Lease neigh
bOrhOOd out of their wits. He made a
long visit at the Lease home and when
ne lett he predicted a great future for
his young friend. In parting he gave
her his blessings by repeating a HindoO
prayer.
Mrs. Lease wrote the class song and
her poems have attracted considerable
attention locally. The last issue of the
High School Messenger contains the
following from her pen:

came today to the quiet grave
Where lay my love of long past years
And the old, old sorrow came, flooding
My eyes with a burst of tears.
But saw through the misty tear drops
or-get-me-nOtS tender hue,
And the heart pain that swelled from
longing
Ceased at that glimpse of blue.
For as old flowers in old places spring,
And year by year their blossom re
new,
So, in heaven will be the old loved faces
And, Dearest, I shall find you.
Her immediate future is to be just
one long play day until next September,
when she will enter college. This sum-
mer she will accompany her mother on
a jaunt among the lakes and later will
probably go with her on her New Eng

E. iii. Funston Refutes Some
Published Charges of

Sends a Letter Home Full of
Hopeful Views.
Big Merchant at Reserve Dis

lola, May 21-Ex- Congressman E. H.
Funston has sent the following letter to
the lola Evening News, which is itself
explanatory:
Under the frightfuI headlines of
Funston Starving, the News of the
18th instant gives the substance of what
purports to be a dispatch from Jamaica
in which it is stated that my son Fred
erick and other young Americans who
are in the insurgent army are starving
and that they are appealing to the gov
eminent for aid or to be released and
allowed to come home
L know nothing about others. but so
far as relates to my son I can say that
1 have a letetr from him dated March
5. which shows the reported dispatch
from Jamaica to be absolutely false in
every particular. In this letter my son
says: I find my position rather enjoy
I have some big schemes in view when
Cuba gains her independence.
This war really can not last much long
er. The Spanish never venture out of
their fortified cities except in large col
uunS and then only to convey supply
trains to garrisOned towns of the inter
Tor. These columns usually have to
fight the Cubans every foot of the way
and we often drive them back. The
Cubans hold absolutely undisputed pos
session OF all the country out of gun
shot of the Spanish forts, and their civil
government is in full operation and has
been for a long time
do not consider that I am wasting my
time down here.
I have had such good luck so far and
the war is 50 near over that I have no
idea of being killed
Not word is written about hard
living or scarcity of food and as the
Cubans have possession of all the is
land except the fortified towns, it is not
at all likely that anyone is suffering for
food PROFESSIONALLY, in my mind
the alleged dispatch is intended as an
offset to the report that Americans are
suffering food in the Spanish fortified
towns. Truly.
