WOULD HAVEWHIPP=D HIM
Three Women Get After Galen Mich
OILS With Whips.

Deputy County Attorney Galen Mich
OILS escaped a horse whipping late yes
terday afternoon by the watchfulness
of Sheriff Kepley.
house to whip Mr.. Nichols were the
members of the Herman family, who
have a boarding house on East Fourth
street. During the trial of Carl
Schultz, who was arrested at the kier-
nan boarding house, Mr. Nichols made
some remarks which the women claim
reflected upon the reputation of the
Herman place.
Later in the day the Kiernans ap-
peared in the court room with two
other women. Mrs. Herman the elder
carried a rawhide whip, Mary Herman
had a heavy cane and the two other
women carried whips. They remained
in the court room until Mr.. Nichols left
to go to his office. Then they filed out
and Sheriff Kepley, who had caught
sight of the whips, also left the court
room.
The women ranged themselves in
front of the door in which Mr.. Nichols
had vanished while Sheriff Kepley
slipped by and entered the room. Mrs
Herman followed him. Sheriff kepley
took a position before the door and
stopped the woman, who carried the
whip in her hand.
I'VE can't have anything of this kind
here" he said.
But he insulted US. We have repu-
tations to look after as we'll as he has.
and we don't propose to be talked about
that way"
Sheriff Kepley twisted the whip from
the woman's hand and said he would
arrest the whole party unless they lett
the court house.
I'm get him if I have to shoot him, .
said one of the younger women as she
walked away.
Mr. Nichols sat at his desk while the
controversy was going on, but he had
confidence in Sheriff Kepley and seemed
as unconcerned as a man in his stu

At a meeting of the Republican city
central committee last evening a reso-
luton was adopted after a spirited fight
which allows silver Republicans to vote

Whereas, At the recent national and
state election a large and eminently re-
spectacle number of voters who had
previously on all occasions supported
the nominees of the Republican party
in city, county, state and nation, on
account of the action of the last Re
publican national convention declaring
for the single gold standard, which dec
laration was contrary to the express
siOnS of every Republican state conven-
ton held in the state of Kansas for two
decades, and contrary to the expressed
views of leading Kansas Republicans,
supported the candidate who favored
the double monetary standard, and
Whereas, We recognize the right of
every man to cast his vote according
to the dictates of his own judgment
and conscience. and believing that the
Republicans who supported Mr. Bryan
at the recent election did so from an
honest conviction of right, therefore,
be it
Resolved. BY the city central COM
mittee of Topeka that at the coming
primaries to be held in the city of To-
peka on March 13, 1897, for the purpose

MERIT. NOT SEX. TIE TEST.

Assemblyman Hopkins introduced a
bill in the legislature which provides
that male and female teachers, teach
ing under the same grade certificate,
shall receive the same compensation.
We do not see what reasonable objec-
ton can be made to this proposition.
1t is fair and just. At the present time
there is a disposition to pay male
teaclers in the public schools a higher
rate OF wages than is paid female
teachers, and for no better reason, it
seems, than that they are men.
In other occupations, where the value
of service depends upon the physical
strength or the power OF endurance
possessed by the servant, a man may
be worth more to his employer than
woman, but the female school teacher
who labors the same number Of hours
as the male teacher, does the same kind
OF work and possesses the same mental
qualifications for performing that WORK,
which is evidenced by the certificate
that the board of education has given
her, is ceS,ainly deserving Of the same
compensation as her male competitor.
Heretofore there has been large dis
elimination against the female teacher
In New Jersey The average salary per
month paid to male teachers is S79'S4'
while the average salary paid to female
teachers is SI5.49, which is falling
off since 1929 of 1924 month.
The profession Of school teaching is
a high and exceedingly important one
Those who enter it should receive I'D
eral compensation, and there Is no
cood reason why the service of female
to,cbers working under the same grade
certificate should be considered Is q
less value than that of male teachefs'-

TUCKS IN FASHION.

Tucks have long been considered a
simple trimming for childish gowns,
but fashion is doing her utmost to in
sist that tucked skirts, tucked badces,
sleeves, etc, are entirely suitable for
women who nave passes their second,
third and even fourth decade. Skirts
for the spring and summer will be
tucked to above the knees, or otherwise
they will be tucked on the upper in
stead Of the lower part of the skirt. If
near the hem, the tucks are moderately
vide. About the hips they are mar
rover, and as a rule the pleats are laid
perpendiculmly The horizontally
tucked skirt, bodice, yoke and sleeves
with which we are now growing ia
miliar date back to the gowns of 1927
and 1897 and in histories of dress we
see illustrations OF this style in very
early Victorian fashion. A pretty vel
vet sleeve on a model for gown is
wide at the top to simulate small puff
on the shoulders. -Four or five gradu-
ated longitudinal tucks are arranged
at this part of the sleeve; below, the full
ness is sloped to the arm, and at the
wrist fits tightly and then expands into
a pointed calla-shaped cuff. New York

MILLINERY FOR WARM WEATHER.

MILLINERY FOR WARM WEATHER.
There will be flowers, silks, gauzes,
crepes, laces and ribbons, and plumes
in the early millinery this year, and
bright ornaments in greater numbers
/ than have been seen during the cold
months. There are to be many fancy
braida in hats, made, some OF them, in
wide plats, with contrasting colors
which are effective Other braids are
smooth and of solid color, and are
twisted into little odd conceits over
wire frames. The crowns viii be wider
this year, to allow room for the knot
of hair upon the top OF the head.
Tall bell-shaped crowns and hour
glass crowns appear, end rims are found
to be narrower in the back than in
front. or if wide at the back, are turned
up high. Hats are large, but do not
reach the size of the Gainsborough.
Malines, chiffon, soft India silks, and
tulle will be used with braids in hat
manufacture. The thin materials are
used for shirred rims and soft crowns.
They alternate with lace5 for yelling
the brlm and swathing the crown OF
hats. The lace barb is shown in place
of ribbon strings on some French bon
net models, the fashion OF the moment
says.
Ribbons of plain color will be used
and ribbons with gauze and satin
stripes show strong contrasting colors.
BLACK ribbons. fine and light, are OF
taffeta and waiered MORE, with satin
hack. There are ribbons with mousse
line and grass-linen effect, and some
of the old glase ribbons are to be SEEN
These ribbons of the thinner varieties

man in question has kept a journal, or
