The Popullst members wept as they be-
held the wounded fingers OF Representa-

vote.
Senator Henry Johnston OF Perry is
TIE victim of a cruel story. Mr.. john
ston is like a good many others. in the
tells OF the grip. or, as he calls IL. bad
cold. Somebody has said that he took
the cold Saturday night en- route 70

Mr.. Johnston wiz not accept a railroad

the statement.
Judge John F. HelSell OF Fort Worth.
was here Ell route 10 Wellington. Kan.
where he sill has considerable business
Interests. He told me something that IS
not generally known in Kansas and that
is that the position of minister 10 Bolivia.
South America was intended for him and
not for Tim Moonlight, who now nils the
place. The position was assigned 70 Kan
saS. and President Cleveland telegraphed
to Judge Halsell at Wellington rendering
the place 10 him. II was found that
Judge Halsell had left the state two days
before. and upon receipt Of this infOrma-
ton President Cleveland gave the place
10 Tom Moonlight. II is also fact that
jerry Simpson was nominated for con-
grass because Judge Halsell refused Il.
The people OF Perry are making a very
strong pull 70 have bill passed through
the legislature locating a penitentiary at
that place The bill Will call for an ap-
preparation of 81. 900, and the city OF
Perry promises TO give 1900 more as
bonus. II penitentiaTy is located at al,
Perry stands a mighty good chance TO
get It. 1t Is hardly probable. however.
that the legislature VIII go into the peni-
Tertiary business at this time.
The origin OF the words short grass
country as applied 10 western Oklah0-
ma and western Kansas. was the subject
OF discussion last night while the biz
gard was raging. Senator Aarum, who
IS recognized authority on such sub
5ects. says that the term has been in
common use Cor several years and that
it applies to the buffalo grass OF the west
EN- range country. In the discussion Il
was learned that Mike Sutton OF Dodge
City was the originator of the expression.
TIE present legislature wiz cost about
$4,000 or rlaybe $4,000 The members
say they will try to KEEP IT down 20 $50 600
bu: Il IS doubtful. OF this amount he
federal government viii pay $4,000 and
the territory VIII supply the deficiency.
IL ought To be shaved down 10 $50 900 II
good business economy was practised
this figure would be sufficient for all t.
g;timate purposes. Economy Is taxed
abou. great deal. but IL viii be found
when the session closes. that the expenses
will be as large as usual.
