TOPEKA LEFT OUT
Of the Text Book Commission, AL
though Gov. LeedY Gave It Two.

w. J. Eurd Holton, Populist.
L. NJ. Niece, Independence, Democrat.
The senate went into executive session
to consider the appointments but Sena-
totrs Titus and Lupfer made such fight

firmed except John MacDonals, who de-
clined to serve.
On motion of Senator Campbell, Sena-
tor G. H. Lamb was endorsed for a posi-
ton on the board. The action of the SEN

one of the vacant places.
DiSpOSing of part of the business the
senate last night adjourned until 10 o'clock
this forenoon.
Should the governor fail to supply the
vacancies now existing a majority of the

which they have been assigned.

While it has been decided that Mr.
Hanna will not receive the appoint

WHAT IS A POLICEMAN FOR
If He Isn't to Stop Infractiors of the
LaW-Even by Chickens

Yesterday as City Jailer Dagg was
sitting in an easy chair at the police
station expecting to take a short nap,
the telephone rang vigorously, arousing
him from day dream. He took down
the ear phone and in his most polite
tone said, Hello
of the line. She seemed very much ex-
cited and had difficulty making the jail
er understand. Send a policeman out
here right away" said the woman.
And be quick about it. Have him come
to the corner of Huntoon and Clay
streets.
Jailer Dagg bounded out of the tele-
phone closet excitedly. Detective Ca
prom was taking it easy in one of the
rooms and he was summoned to imme-
date service. Dagg told him of the
emergency call, and the detective start
ed out to answer it. expecting that
there was something little less than a
murder occurring in the usually quiet
southwestern part of the city. He
Eighth street and catching a car to the
west. There he boarded a car and rode
to Clay street and ran all the way to
HuntOOn street. As he arrived there
he was out of breath and much heated.
At the corner of Huntoon and Clay
streets he found the woman who had
summoned him there so hurriedly. The
detective pulled himself together and
prepared for the worst. If it was an
insane man numbering his wife and
children, Detective Capron was the man
combat between men he could part
them. He rushed up to the woman,
who was no other than Mrs. c. f.
Purviance and asked her what was the
matter. She was somewhat agitated.
Why" said shell want you to come
back here in my yard and catch those
two chickens of my neighbors They
have been bothering me for long time
and 1 don't propose to stand it any
longer"
Detective Capron stood dumbfounded.
His thirst for blood and gore vanished
He cast a glance of scorn upon the wo-
man who had caused him to make such
hasty trip for such a purpose. But
he tried to catch those chickens and
soon left the neighborhood, probably
the most disguised man in the city of
Topeka. He walked to Benefits flats
and there sat down on a door step to
rest up and cool off. A citizen who
happened to be passing touched a re-
sponsive chord when he asked the de-
tective what was the matter" Here
he broke into song and unburdened his
mind of his troubles.
Jailer Dagg now has explicit in
structions to make inquiry of cases
which are reported through the tele-
phone and ascertain, when an emer-
gency call is made, whether there is a
riot or murder occurring, or whether
wants a chicken run down and
caught

Pastor Curtis Bay Baptist Church.

A few weeks ago there was published
a testimonial of the great virtue of
Paine's celery compound from Rev
Charles L. Thompson, D. D., Ii. D,
the eminent. Presbyterian preacher of
New York city. Rev. DR.. Meek, editor
of the Central Methodist, recently
wrote an open letter telling that Paine's
celery compound had worked a remark
able cure in his case. And last month
the great temperance evangelist,
Francis Murphy, told the public how
Paine'S celery compound had been
blessing in his family.
These are a few among thousands.
Every one knows conscientious, char
liable persons who are too busy, more
often too prOcrastinating. to save their
health from going to pieces, and find
Such persons fill up the army of broken
down business men and sicl1ly women.
Every one in this springtime needs to
purify the blood and regulate the

and rheumatism this spring. You can
now put your health on a sound basis
by means of Paine'S celery compound.

Attend to your own health and that of

Paine's celery compound is within the
reach of every family where there is
a member afflicted by any stomach,
liver or kidney trouble. 1t cures per-
manently and rapidly.

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
POpulist Legislators Claim That
Their Constituents
Want Them to Come Back to
Waste More Money
And Time Trying to Pass Railroad
Rate Bill Which They Have AL
ready Squandered SO Days
Over-Other State House
Gossip.

The action of Governor Leedy in veto
ing the railroad bill meets the hearty
approval of the people of Kansas, judg-
ing from the sentiment expressed by the
Populist members of the legislature who
returned yesterday to assist in the per-
Torrance of the closing dutizs of the
session. which goes upon record as the
longest, by nearly two weeks, of any
held in Kansas
Every Populist senator was interview
ed today and with but two exceptions
all said that the people will sustain the
action of the governor. All agreed that
the PopulistS generally, are a unit in
demanding an extra session.
Senators Helm of Ellsworth and Shell
don of Franklin, however. insist that
! the bill was satisfactory to- their con-
StituentS who would have been pleased
to have seen it put into execution if
nothing less than an experiment.
Senator Helm said: Il find my peo-
pie blame no one but the governor.
They were satisfied with the railroad
bill as it PASSED and think that the
governor ought to have at least afford
ed it a trial 1 do not believe that 165
men representing diversified interests
throughout the state can get together
and fix a maximum rate that will meet
the demands of the people. 1 am not
believer in maximum rates for this rea-
son.
Some people believe that anything
that is kept alive as a corporation ought
to be chopped to pieces and thrown to
the dogs. [ oppose this theory and be-
lieVe that it would be impossible for us
to do business without the corporations,
although l am sincerely opposed to
some of the determinations in which
they frequently indulge"
Senator Sheldon said: Il do not de-
sire to appear in the attitude of criti-
cising Governor Leedy but 1 do believe
that a maximum freight rate bill is not
what the people of Kansas want I
found no indications of it in my district.
1 think the people there would have
been satisfied with the railroad bill as it
was passed by both houses"
Senator Lupfer: MY people are in
for railroad legislation and will give
the governor no peace until one is cal
led"
Senator Campbell: 1.-The people of
Labette county sustain the governor in
his action vetoing the railroad bill The
bill as passed was not what they want
ed and they are clamoring for an extra
session for the redemption of campaign
PROMISES
Senator Titus said: THE people in
my district are not satisfied with the
railroad bill of this session and think
Governor Leedy did right in VetOing it.
Since going home I have talked to a
large number of them, all being anxious
that the governor call a special session
to pass a railroad law along the lines
promised during the campaign
Senators Armstrong, Benson, Brad
dock, CrOSSan Helmick, Household
err, and Jumper expressed similar opin-
ions and unanimously agreed that only
a special session will satisfy the de-
mands of the people for railroad 1egis-
lation.
