MORE LIQUOR MONEY.
State DIspensaly Pays in SO, 900 as Pro-
missed.

Tuesday the State dispensary paid
into the State treasury the $4,000
promised at the end of the month of
July. The payment was made on time
and it was hard ly expected. This pay
ment makes $55, 900 of the money due
the general fund of the State which
has been paid into the treasury in the
past two months under the admins.
tration of Commissioner Vance. With
this amount OF money, according to
the statement made by State Treasurer
Zimmerman a few days ago, the gen.
eral expenses of the government will
be carried for some time longer than
was expected and the necessity for
borrowing money to any extent may
be avoided. Commissioner Vance
seemed to be guile proud of the ability
of the dispenssry to pay in this money
on time.
There is perfect horde of whiskey
drummers in Columbia awaiting the
action of the State board in the matter
of the purchases of liquors. They come
from everywhere and are keeping the
hotel lobbies pretty lively. Among
them is Mr.. Lanahan of the prominent
Baltimore house from which so much
liquor has been purchased by the dis
penssry authorities. 1t is expected by
these drummers that at this meeting
the usual heavy purchases OF liquors
for the fall and winter trade of the
dispensary will be made; hence their
attendance.
1t is just possible, however, that
they will be badly disappointed in the
getting of large orders. Commissioner
Vance in!ends to make q report to the
board in which he will ask the board
to select the houses and brands and
secure the prices monthly from the
several representatives, when they
come here and leave it to him to order
the supply as it is needed. In this way
the necessity for carrying the very
heavy stock now constantly kept on
hand, and of getting all goods in at
about the same time, clogging the
wheels of the establishment, will be
avoided and still the board will retain
direct supervision over all the pur.
chases. If this plan is adopted it will
also make provision for any decision
that Judge Simonton may render IN
the original package cases, in the
event that the board considers that an
adverse decision would injure its bust
ness. Mr.. Vance said Tuesday that If
the decision was adverse he did not
think that the dispenssry's business
would fall off very greatly. He said
it was possible that prices would have
to bs reduced upon certain grades of
liquors sold, but that would be about
all and the dlspsnsary would, in his
opinion, scarcely feel the competition
from original package stores, no mat
ter how many started up under an adj
verse decision from the court.

Keep the Party Organization.

Editor AdvOcate:--Th is truly crit
ical period in our party history, and re-
quires great deal Of caution in dealing
with the subject. Under present condi-
tions 1t seems that fusion is necessary
to perpetuate our party supremacy in
this State, and in consequence we cannot
assail the position of our Democratic
friends with the same vigor that we
otherwise could if we were not depend
ent on them for their support But the
Kansas Democracy is very near to our
position, and If the national party can
only be induced to take the advanced
step OF eliminating the redemption fea-
ture from it's party creed and platform,
then We, in my opinion, can afford to
unite with them in 1900 on the single
issue of finance and trust to the good
sense of the people to make all other
reforms necessary in the future. But
with the redemption feature of the Chi
cagO platform, we, as a party, cannot
afford to further continue an alliance
which can only result in disintegratfon
and death to our party and the wreck
of all hopes for reform, perhaps for cen
turtles. WILLIAM MCDONALD.

It is stated that the Chinese barrow is
decided improvement on the barrows
used in Western countries, being so con-
structed that the load Is carried directly
over the wheel instead of being between
the wheel and the man propelling 1t.
The roads in the northern part Of China
especially are little more than narrow
foOtways, sometimes paved with blocks
Of stone, but entirely unfit for ordinary
four-wheeled vehicles. AS a consequence
both goods and passengers are carried
on barrows, the passengers being seated
barrows, the passengers being seated
with their backs to the wheel, their
legs overhanging somewhat after the
fashion of travel on an Irish 1aunting
car. This barrow has wheel 8 feet in
diameter and IL inches wide on the
tire, located in the center of the frame
carrying the load. A latticed box covers
the wheel, and the load is distributed
on two braced and latticed steps project
ing on each side of the wheel. The
wheelbarrOw is usually made of oak,
has an extreme length of 6 feet inches,
an extreme width of feet inches, and
height of feet 6 inches to top Of wheel

AS the result of the development of
our public school system and the cheap
ening of books, there has grown up
large class of men and women who seek
broader education, or desire to extend
their knowledge along special lines
Their duties in life, or lack of means
exclude them from the universities. The
Cosmopolitan Magazine has undertaken
the task of bringing liberal education, in
it's broadcast sense, within the reach of
those who have the aspiration, but are
deprived Of the opportunity. Doctor An
drews, late Of Brown University, has un-
dertaken the Presidency of the CosmO-
politan's educational movement. The
work, thus begun, is not intended to take
the place of regular university work, but
to supply a gap in existing educational
facilities. Those who are really in search
Of knowledge will find direction and aid.
1t can do nothing for those who have not
the desire to study. An intending stu
dent sends to the Cosmopolitan, New
York, his name, occupation, previous
courses of study, studies desired to be
pursued, objects and purpose for which
course is designed, and the number of
hours, daily or weekly, study which can
be given. No charge Of any kind will be
made to students.

When a little one is expected in the
family how lovingly the parents plan to-
gether for its future welfare. They
sometimes even forecast it's education
and career Does this seem too early to
anticipate while the child is yet unborn?
1t isn't. The child's destiny has already
been partly mapped out by Nature ac-
cOrding to the disposition and habits of
the parents. The best plan a mother
can make for the future happiness of her
unborn child is to maintain her own
cheerfulness and health while her child's
undeveloped being is still part of hers
Her health at this critical period is Of
tremendous consequence to the little
ones whole future existence. Every
prospective mother will find direct nour.
ishment, comfort and sustaining
strength, in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scriptiOn. 1t will maintain her vitality
both bodily and mental; shorten the pc
riod of confinement and make labor easy
and almost painless. 1t imparts strength
and elasticity to the organs concerned in
parturition, invests the mother with re-
Operative energy against any after
period Of weakness and depression, and
aids in the secretion of healthy nOurish-
ment for the child. 1t is the unfailing
cure Of all female weakness"

Sneoial Session,

If Governor Leedy wishes to be ready
for reversal Of RandOlphs decision in
the injunction cases he should call a
special session of the Legislature and
give it sufficient latitude to investigate
Senator Bakers election to the United
States Senate. Quite a number of peo
pie think Baker was lucky and that, be-
ing picked up as compromise candidate,
it didn't cost him anything to get there.
But, Lordy.mamma! let Baker go on the
witness stand in his own behalf, Sum-
mon Apple-jack Cy, but lock him up so
he can't hear Bakers testimony, and one
or both will be likely to be caught for
perjury. .-Emporia Republican.

Governor Leedy Returns.

Governor Leedy has just enjoyed two
weeks vacation. A portion of the time
was spent in Ohio and later he went to
New York. He has made two speeches
since his return, one at Arkansas City
and the other at Concordia. He settled
down to work Saturday in the usual way
He prides himself on the skill with which
he lodged newspaper reporters and poll
ticians during his absence. He says that
he went away to rest and visit, and not
to discuss politics or public affairs, and
that he enjoyed the brief change quite
well.

NEW YORK MARKET
The Features Of The Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stacks

New York. Dec. 23.-Several factors
combined in the last hour of trading on
the Stock Exchange, today TO lift it out
of the dulnesS and depression which had
been its character all day and to raise
prices quite sharply above last night :
closing level one of these factors was
the subsistence of apprehension caused
earlier in the day by the closing of the
Chestnut Street Bank in Philadelphia:
another was that the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation had succeeded in securing meas
ures to assure the restoration and main
tenance of established tariffs on live
stock provisions and grain from Western
to Eastern points. Aouther was the an
nouncement from the treasury depart
ment at Washington that Il sufficient
amount of the currency 6's We're being
offered for redemption on Dec. q. in ac-
cordance with the governments profTer
to assure relief to the money market from
the scarcity threatened by the with
drawals of the Union Pacific payment to
the government. Still another factor was
the news from Albany that the railroad
commission had extended by Two years
the period for eGuipping freight cars with
automatic couplings in New York state.
A number of the specialtics. which had
showed marked strength all day. took on
renewed buoyancy at the close and helped
on the rise. The movement in the general
list was not important. The Vanderbilt
roads failed to make any substantial re-
coveries from Yesterdays depression.
Canada Southern is ~ lower and Michi-
gan Central 13, lower on the day. Lake
Shore was bid down two points but with
out transaction. The days business
however. was largely absorbed by the
specialties under the influence of special
causes. Sugar. Peoples; Gas and New
Jersey Central are over point higher
These securities not only show the larg-
est gains but absorbed the greater part
of the days business.
All money loaned as high as 1 per cent.

method used by the murderers to get
rid of the old man. When found Vein
and, besides being tied and bound, had
a towel tightly twisted about his neck.
The post mortem showad that far down
in the old man throat tightly imbedded
at the bronchial tubes, was wad of
thick cloth which had been wrapped
with horse hair Fingers could not
have reached that far and q stick was
probably used to ram the wad down.
Then the old man was garrotted with
a towel. In 1893. a soldier at jefferson
barracks, who had saved about $1,000
which he carried in his pocket. was
found murdered in his room. He had
been bound, a wad of cloth and horse
hair had been pushed down his throat
and he was choked to death with a
twisted towel. The similarity Of the
murder of Tuesday evening with that
of the soldier four years ago has caused
excitement in police circles. Every
effort is being put forth to discover
Weinand'S murderer, supposed to have
been two, but the only clews found are
button and piece of cloth torn from
the coat of one of them.
