YVETTE AND JACK.
The Guilbert and McAulifs the Pugi1-
ist are Chummy.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 8--Yvette Guilbert
and Jack McAuliffe are chummy. When
YVette arrived here yesterday in her
private car direct from New Orleans
Jack was her guest, and when he was
forced to leave her with her pug dog
and her manager and go on to New
York by himself the disappointment he
felt showed plainly on his rugged and
badly SCARED cOuntenance.
1t is rumored that Jack has received
and accepted an invitation to visit the
phenomenon in her native home.
It is rumOred that the pugiIist was in
San Francisco when he learned of
Yvette's presence in New Orleans.
Drawn by some attraction, presumably
YVette, he made the trip in short order,
and fastened to pay his respects to the
famous chanteuse- It is not related
what passed in the Crescent City, but
certain it is that Jack was one of the
occupants of Yvette's private car on
the trip from New Orleans 10 Atlanta,
and equally positive that he took leave
of his fair hostess with more than the
commonplace expressions of regret and

WILL COOPERATE.
Missouri and Probably Illinois Will
Join Kansas in Stock Yard Laws

The following communication was re-
ceived by the house today and referred
to the committee on live stock:
Speaker of the House, Topeka, Kan:
Dear Sir:-I was today appointed on
a committee of five of our house to con-
fer with like committee from the Kan
saS house to investigate charges made
by the stock yards at Kansas City and
St. Louis and to recommend such legis-
latiOn as is deemed proper under the
circumstances. Our purpose is to try
and act in conjunction with like COM
mittee from your state and also a SINH
lar committee from Illinois. We are
trying to get the states of Kansas and
Illinois to act with US in this matter Of
legislating against the oppression of the
stock yards combine in these states.
If these states will act together with
US, we think this great trust can be
handled to the great advantage of the
| oppressed farmers of the western coun-
| try. ask you please to refer this to
your proper committee with the request
! that the committee write me at once
| when your committee could meet US at
| Kansas City and also to send to me at
Jefferson City copy of each bill, if
any, before your house or the senate
| that we may fully understand each 9TH
er. We would also be glad to have any
! information you may have on the SUBJ
ject. We would be glad to hear from
your house at the earliest convenience.
By so doing, you will greatly oblige
Yours, J. H WHITECOTTON,
House Chairman Mo. Legislature -
taken, Chairman Jaquins, of the house
| committee on live stock, said:
| Our committees will meet the Mis-
| souri, and Illinois committees and do all
| in our power to facilitate the legisla-
| ton suggested. Kansas will not wait
| for those states to act. We will push
| our own bills which our neighbors may
accept or reject as they may choose. We
| propose to handle the stock yards on
our own responsibility, and without
| regard to what is proposed by other
states. The aid of Missouri and Illinois
| would be very acceptable but Kansas
can not afford to wait for them, and
| thereby take chances on securing no
legislation regulating this MONOPOLY
When asked concerning the report
that the legislative committee on live
stock had been bought and there would
| be no anti-stock yards legislation, Mr..
| JaQuins said:
The best evidence I can offer to re-
flute that statement will be what is ac-
complished in this legislature. We will
regulate the stock yards. People who
are interested will see that when the
session closes laws will have been pass
ed that will destroy the present immod-
| crate practices INDUCED in by the man.
| agement of that corporation This is
| one of the most important subjects be-
fore the legislatur and will receive
| proper attention.

members of the committee stated this
morning that the apportionment of both
the house committees made the gerry
Wandering of the state too apparent and
that by making the apportionment to gain
one congressman there was a possibility
of losing two or three, as the opposition
would bring this point strongly to light
in the next campaign. He even went so
far as to state he was not in favor of re-
appOrtioning the state, and that in his
opinion there great likelihood of this
legislature doing nothing in reference to

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
Foreign Insurance Companies
Don't Like a Proposed Law.
Saw it Will Drive Them Out OF
the State.
A Special Agent Argues With a Mem
Der of the Insurance Committee

Tho 1ohbies surrounding the legislature
are increasing in number and each gay
adds recruits to the already large cio""',
on the ground. Today marks the advent
of the special and general agents OF hte
insurance companies who are coming 10
,,sa every means possible to secure the de-
feat Of Representative Ed Jaquins bill re-
rl1fring life insurance companies to &c
post with the state treasurer Kansas IN

per cent of their reserve fund as security
for the protection of policy holders also
that such securities shall be subject 10
The Insurance men assert that the pas
sage of the bill will be dangerous because
1t is likely to drive the business out Oh the
state.
one of the special agents held long
session with Populist member OF 9 ine
house committee on insurance yesIiS5 ce5
and argued that the legislature could not
afford TO pass such bill because the ne
purchaser of insurance would thereby DC
assigned heavier burdens I'll,
IF the purchasers of insurance VIII
bear the burden then why do the conpdA-
les complain asked the member.
This was a sumner but after minute >
pause the special said:

plated and it will drive the insurance
COMPANIES out of the state. ~ .
well we have insurance companies OF

states" remarked the Populist dream
lily. =
surance company continued:
such laws as this would cause states
east of US to discriminate against Kan
sas insurance companies, which are at
tempting to do business in the east
THAT means nothing, said the IeSlsla-
tor. Should the eastern companies re
fuse to write our business it would revert
at once to a. Kansas company and would
be moro than double the amount which
any company now operating in this state
would secure in the east or west for that
matter"
but the legislator continued;
Don't you know that the foreign insur-
ance companies doing business in Kansas
in 1895 and 1896 took from Kansas 81 725.0O0
more than was paid in death losses in the
state. It occurs to me that such business
is very profitable and you insist that the
people of Kansas permit you to continue
it just because you regard the proposed
laws tending to operate against this
monster profit-sharing business On the
contrary your foreign insurance COM
panies need legislation and we will make
an effort to give it to you.
The interview terminated at this juno
ture and a half dozen special agents from
different parts of the state sat in a group
at the Copeland last night discussing the
prospect.

MRS. LOGAN ON CABINET.
She Praises Mckinley and His Ap-
pointees-Predicts a Brilliant Adj
roinistration


New York. Feb. S.-"Since my hus-
bands death have not taken the same
interest in public affairs but am still
deVotedly attached to- my country and
cannot help being concerned in all that
pertains to it's welfare said Mrs. John
A Logan today.
Mrs. Logan is at the Waldorf, where
luncheon was given in her honor by
Mrs; Washington Roebling of Trenton,
n. ].
Mrs. Logan's attention was called to
a special dispatch from Canton stating
that her son, John A. Logan, Jr., is q
candidate for the appointment as min
lister to Austria Hungary.
Il had no idea that the fact that my
son is a candidate for that office had
gotten into the newspapers she said.
L feel very confident, however, that he
will be successful in obtaining the ap-
pointment. For Major Mckinley per-
sonally 1 have the warmest regard I
have known him and his family for
years, and / can say that the people do
not begin to know what a good man he
is. He is a devoted husband, if there
ever was one Why, he ought to have
been elected if for no other reason than
the lovely manner in which he has al
ways treated his wife.
For the coming administration gen
orally I have a feeling of the greatest
confidence. I am sure it will be fully
able to deal with the great questions
with which it will have to contend. 1t
is my good fortune 10 be personally &C
quainted with all of the men who have
thus far been selected for cabinet Off
GERS; most of them are intimate friends.
Senator Sherman is a great man and
he is admirably adapted for the office
of secretary of state. His appoint
ment ought to be received with APP
plause by the people. and it is
Mrs Logan was asked as to her opin-
ion of the stories that Senator Sherman
is beginning to show some of the weak
nesses of old age. She replied laugh
ingly:
''Those stories are absurd You may
remember that when my husbands en-
emies couldn't think of anything to say
against him, they said his grammar
was bad. The people who want tc
find fault with Senator Sherman can
not make any legitimate complaint. SC
they say his mind is enfeebled.

say authoritatively that he is altogetha,
free from the infirmities of age"
After speaking of some of the othel
cabinet appointees, Mrs. Logan sald

mine and 1 am very glad indeed tha1
he is to be in the cabinet WIN there

HAS HELD OFFICE 20 YEARS.
Bill to Make officers Elective Aimed
at Junction City.

The city marshal of Junction City has
held the office constantly for nearly 20
years and has effectUally resisted all
attempts to GUST him, coming from his
opponents. However, if a bill prepared
by Representative Muenzenmayer be-
comes a law, the marShals enemies
hope to defeat him.
The measure provides that city mar
shals street commissioners and similar
officers shall be chosen by a direct vote
of the people at the time of the election
of members of the city councils.
The principal idea of this bill was de-
veloped from the condition in Junction
City. The author of the bill claims
that the affairs of that city have not
been properly managed by the present
officers, particularly the marshal and it
is proposed to depose him at the ballot
box and thereby break up the ring
which that official is alleged to repre-
sent.
