JOHN FREY NOT RICH.
He Says So himself Nillionaires Are
Getting Everything.

John frey has returned from the east
where he has spent the past four
months. Mr.. frey, who owns the Dut-
ton house and several other YaluabIe
properties in Topeka, has for many
years been one of the best known char
acters on the streets, but failing health
took him back to his old home last fall
and he has just returned.
He reappeared in Topeka wearing a
neatly fitting suit of clothes and a
shiny silk tile. He registered at the
DuttOn house and was seen soon after
ward by a Journal reporter who was at
tracted by the change in the appearance
of Mr.. frey.

he MY home is now in HagerstoWn,
Nd, though I have been staying for
some time with my brother in Potts
vile, Pa"
When asked whether he would stay in
Topeka, he said:
4 do not know; hope not I would
like to get away, and everything 1
have is for sale. The truth of the mat
ter is that the millionaires are getting
everything. We go right on voting
bonds and making debts, and the rich
are urging the people on, and in a short
time they will have everything.
Il was an old fashioned Whig,'' con-
tinued Mr.. frey, land afterward a Re
publican, and I would have called the
man liar who would have said that
would ever vote any other ticket, but
I have voted it. I did not vote for Nc
Ktnley, and am glad of it. The rich
are going to get everything in this
country before long"
I'VE all supposed you were rich your
SELF" suggested the reporter.

rich, are fooled, that is all there is
about it But I don't like this coun-

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Something About the New
Courts at Kansas City, Han.
Gov. Leedy's Appointment of
Judges Offends a Faction
Which Wanted to Dictate Who the
Judges Should Be-News of
State Departments.

The last legislature passed a law crea-
ting two courts in Kansas City, the OBJ
ject of which is to abolish the justice OF
the peace courts. The law provided Tor
the appointment of two judges and clerks
Governor Leedy as previously announc-
ed has appointed E. B. Pfost and E. L.
Fisher, as judges and Frank Armstrong
and H. S. Swingley clerks. Armstrong
was a member of the last house of rep
resentatives.
These appointments are very likely, If
the statements of Populist politicians are
true, to cause dissatisfaction in Kansas
City.
Fisher is a lawyer but Pfost is not. He
was employed at the reform school in this
city during the LeWelling administration
and was one of the original Leedy men.
At the Abilene convention Post worked
night and day in the face of strong OPP
position, seeking to form com binations to
secure the nomination of Leedy. He was
finally successful and has received his re-
ward.
In these appointments Governor Leedy
has ignored Frank Strickland and a big
crowd of Democratic politicians.
This faction of politics is one of the
VOred the appointment of other candi-
dates. The question which confronted the
governor was a hard one to settle, but
he believed that he made suitable Selec-
ton of judges.
Junius w Jenkins drew the bill which
was passed by the legislature and he was
urged a a candidate for one of the places
His friends are disappointed and indig-
nant because he was turned down. Others
complain against Fisher. He lives in
Kansas but for the last year has main
tanned office and engaged in the prac-
tice of law in Kansas City, Mo. Fisher
prior to that time had office in Kan
sas City. Kan.
The disappointed candidates, of whom
there are more than a dozen, are of course
kicking against the action of the gov
ernOr. but he has made the appointments
and announces that they will stay.

quick consumption. She is in destitute
circumstances and owing to her having
no relatives or friends here she is in a de-
plorable condition. The room in which
she lies is but barely furnished Every
thing in it is horribly filthy and the bed

washed.

unfortunate woman and she is unable to
food greatly. Police MatrOn Thorpe was
notified of the case and she made an in
VesttgatiOn. Application was made to the
Salvation Army hospital, but account

U. o. ]. LOSES S14O,OOO
In Cash and 100000 in Bonds by
Globe Savings Bank Failure.

Chicago, April Developments in
the Globe Savings bank which closed
it's doors last Monday indicate its af-
fairs to be in much worse shape than
the directors are willing to admit. In
addition to $40, 900 in cash belonging to
the University of Illinois, which is tied
UP in the suspended institution, en-
dowment bonds to the value of $500, 900
also property of the University of Il
Iinois are missing. This much is ad-
mitted by President Mckay of the
board of trustees of the university.
These bonds were entrusted to Presi-
dent Spalding of the Globe Savings
bank.
A session of the trustees was held
today to hear the report of a sub-com-
mittee appointed yesterday to COM
municate with Mr.. Spalding to secure
some definite information as to the cash
funds entrusted to him as treasurer OF
the board and obtain assurance if pos
sible that the endowment bonds in his
keeping were safe. President Spalding
canot be found and no one outside OF
the trustees appears to know where he
is. Trustee Armstrong said at the
close of the meeting that Mr.. Spalding
claimed to be very sick and had sent
in a doctors certificate to that effect
He had promised however to meet the
directors next Tuesday and would then
try to settle.

SENATOR WARREN HINTS.
Tariff Bill Must Be Impartial Else II
MAY Fail

Neutrality-suspicious. Accommodating to-
day upon a statement by Senator
Chandler, in which the New Hampshire
senator expressed a fear that the Ding
ley tariff bill was being endangered by
the unexpected pressure from all sides,
and particularly from the west, TO Sc
cure higher duties on particular arti-
cles and in favor of particular interests
and sections, Senator Warren of wy
oming said:
Il do not consider it entirely fair and
cannot judiciously impute at this time
to western senators a disposition to be
extreme in their tariff views, or to in
sinuate that the tariff bill will fail be-
cause of radical demands for western
interests. Such a presumption would be
premature and tend to demOra1ize
rates.
THE tariff bill will fail, as it ought
to fail, if it is sectional and partial and
does not eQuitably recognize agricultu-
raj. mineral and lumber interets as
well as others.
IF 1t be decided that one section of
the country must take buzzard while
another demands turky in order to re-
form the tariff, then reformation had
better be delayed, regretabIe as such a
result would be, and to none more re-
greta BILE than the western senator's"

BIRD DAWN SCHOOLS.
Special Programmes in Chicago
Schools on May 1.

Chicago, April 9.-The birdless bon
net refOrmers have planned a special
bird day, to observed May 1 in every
school room in the city. 1t is proposed
to enlist the cooperation of boys and
girls in the preservation of bird life
through a programme to consist of
talks by lovers of the feathered song
sters, supplemented by appropriate rec
itatiOnS from the pupils.
The idea emanates from the recently
resurrected Audubon society, an or
ganiZation of men and women who de-
clare against pathological displays on
hats. In addition to the committee an
nounced to propagate the reform among
various organizations of women, the
Audubon society has decided to name
a committee of nine interested women
who will thoroughly organize the Chi
cago schools in the interest of the bird
agitation. Three members of the COM
mittee will work on each side of the
city.
The bird sentiment is not only to be
started in the schools of Chicago, but it
is planned, as fully as is possible in so
short a time, to diffuse the scheme to
schools in surrounding towns. Later
it is hoped to extend the work over the
entire state through the efforts of the
Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs.
