low watched the tiny speck he resem-
bled and held their breaths in awe The
man seemed to be utterly devoid of
fear, for he would move about the loft
lest steeples with a GOODNESS that SEEM
ed like an invitation to death.
The Steeple of the Fourth Presbyter-
ian church, at the corner of East State
and Clinton streets, several years ago
was struck by lightning. For days the
steeple rocked back and forth and was
momentarily expected to fall. It was
slightly strengthened and "Steeple
Jack" accepted 500 to climb to its pin
nacle and place a lightning rod there.
The last work of the reckless climber
was the placing of a cross upon the
steeple of St. Mary's cathedral. This
steeple is 268 feet high, and the work
was done about a year ago Jack
drew himself to the top by his peculiar
rope rigging, and worked for days in
fun view Of a gaping crowd.

IFrom the Philadelphia Recordl
'Steeple Jack is dead. After climb
ing to giddy heights in nearly every
state in the Union and taking chances
for his life which frequently caused
thousands of spectators to shudder as
they watched him, he met the fate of
drowning.
"Steeple Jack" had a reputation as a
daring climber that extended all over
the country. He has worked at the
tops of towering church spires and tall
chimneys in most of the cities of the
United States. He had rugged a con-
trivance of his own by which he an

hauled himself up hand over hand,

SKETCH OF THE ACCUSED

D. J. Hanna of Hill City, whose name
is tangled up with the investiga ton now
going on, as charged with offer
ing a bride, was the youngest mem
Der of the house of representatives in
1895 He is a Republican, a brother of
Senator Geo. W. Hanna of Clay county,
a POpulist
Mr. Hanna is 80 years old. He was
born in COultersvilIe, Randolph county,
Ill. He received an academic education,
graduating at the Clay Center high
school He came to Kansas as a boy
in 1870. He is vice president of the Far
mers' and Merchants bank of Hill City.
He is a Presbyterian and a bachelor,
the oriental luxury and sp1endor of his
bachelors den being one of the greatest
attractions in the Sixth district.
DR.. F. H. Smith, a practicing physi-
clan of GoOdland, who is also involved,
is Al years of age and a bachelor. He
was born in BIairsville, Indiana county,
Pa. Was educated at the Iowa state
university, coming to Kansas in 1887.
He has always been a Democrat, but
was elected first to the legislature by
the fusionists in 1895. He was re-e1ect-
ed in 1896
Ex-Governor, Senator and Railroad
Commissioner Lewelling, who seems to
be most deeply implicated, is 40 years
old. He was born at Salem, Ia. He
was superintendent of the Iowa Girls
Industrial school for a number of years,
was a normal school director and Occu-
pied other prominent positions in that
state as a Republican. He came to
Kansas in 1886 and soon thereafter join
ed the reform movement and has been
"at it, ever since. He nominated Mr..
Bryan at the st. Louis convention, and
was a candidate for denomination for
governor before the PopuIists last year.
Was thereafter elected senator from the
Twenty-ninth district and was a candi-
date for United States senator.

MUST CLEAR HIMSELF Or RE
SIGN.

The circumstances attendant upon
the election Of one of Kansas early
United States senators, when by his
own confession subsequently offered, he
paid $50, 900 for the Office, $4,000 of that
amount going for one job lot of votes;
another period when a state senator of
Kansas arose in joint assembly and
placed upon the speakers desk $1,000
which he had been paid for his vote.
are both brought to mind in the light of
the developments at the investigation
now going forward at the capitol.
From the evidence adduced before
the investigating committee it appears
that every special and corporate inter
est in the country. that had anything
at stake in any of the proposed Iegisla-
ton had its paid lobby not only in the
city but on the floor of each house and
among the members thereof. Some of
the most influential members seem to
have been in the pay of interests OPP
posed to those of the people and to have
used their influence to corrupt the re-
mainder
The most damaging testimony so far
presented attaches to Senator L. d. Lee
yelling. If a man whom the people
have honored with the highest office in
their gift-one who has constantly
posed as the friend of the oppressed,
downtrodden and unfortunate, one who
has but recently been appointed to
stand between the people and certain
class of corporations can be guilty of
the things laid to his charge, where
shall honest people look for justice?
What will Mr.. Lewelling do about
this matter? There seems to be but
three courses open to him. Either he
must ignore the charges made and the
testimony in standardization of them,
disprOve them or step out of the posi-
ton which he occupies.
If the testimony produced against
him be true he certainly is not a fit
man to be on the board of railroad
commissioners and Governor Leedy
cannot afford to permit him to remain
there. The constituents of his partners
in last winters business can settle with
them if the courts do not take the job
off their hands. In the light of yester-
days evidence it seems to have been a
mistake for the people of Sedgwick
county and for Governor Leedy to af-
hict the people of Kansas with a man
whom they had tried, found wanting
and repudiated at the polls.
