Il is usually held that the distinctive
glory Of Kansas is her live stock, her
highly bred herds OF far kline and OF hogs
roaming her sunht fields Of green prairie
pasture. But Kansas is a grain state. a
great grain and fruit state. She raises
famous crops OF wheat and of rye. OF
oats and Of corn. Of Kaffir and alfalfa,
and OF many kinds Of standard fruits.

The following from the Eagles special
correspondent in Topeka details the de-
btae Friday afternoon on Leweiling $
resolution, and its defeat by a tie vote:
In the senate yesterday afternoon a reso-
luton TO establish one or more normal
schools brought on the biggest wrangle of

and some five or six colleagues of his own
political faith. AS usual and as expected.

tenance into a frightful distortion and

laying out an appropriation 10 educate

ssges ana Jumper quoted literally from
Mr.. Senator Jumper. If Mr.. Jumper could

More RascaIity Connected With
Bank of Illinois Failure.
Several Bankers We're Warned
of the Crisis.
FRIENDLY TIP GIVEN.
They Then Withdrew Their
Money ON Deposit.
Saved Themselves While the
Ordinary DepositOrs Suffered.

Chicago, Jan 1T has been ascer-
tanned positively that several banks
which had deposits in the defunct Ma
tional Bank of Illinois were warned OF
what was to come, and as q result their
money was Withdrawn just in. time TO
save the men being carried down in the
wreck.
Henry W. Austin, president Of the
Oak Park State bank, made the state
ment today that he had received infor-
nation of the dangerous condition of
the Illinois National during the week
previous to the failure. Acting on this
tip, Mr.. Austin says he Immediately
took out of the bank the money his
bank had there; $1,000 was withdrawn
Friday previous to the Monday in De-
cember when the National Bank of Il
Hnois failed to open its doors for bust
ness. The following day, Saturday. So
coo more, the balance due the Oak Park
State bank was taken out. Hinkley and
Tiiden, proprietors of the West Side
bank, were also warned in time to
withdraw their cash from the tottering
institution. Mr.. Austin refused posi-
lively to state who is the informant
He says he was no official of the bank

BIG ALLIANCE PLAN.
A Scheme of Cooperation With De-
pots All Over the State Is
Considered.

Instead of taking steps to abandon
the organization, the members and del
egates attending the annual convention
of the Farmers Alliance have made
the preliminary arrangements for the
Inauguration CT gigantic cooperative
scheme, with headquarters and dis
tributing bureaus and depots in every
county seat town in the state.
The plan embraces the old idea of
issuing bills of credit or exchange
which shall be accepted by the mem
bers of the organization in their bust
ness transactions at face value.
1t is proposed to have a state head
quarters with the state officers of the
organization in charge, established in
Topeka. Subordinate offices will be
established in each county, where the
business will be transacted in accord
ance with the rules and regulations
provided by the official heads of the or
ganization.
Union depots or storahouses will be
maintained at all county seats. where
the members of the Alliance may de-
post any kind of commodities and re-
ceive therefor bills of credit or ex-
change, which shall be accepted by
other members in exchange for pro-
ducts or direct purchase at face value.
This idea IS the result of study and
research on the part of Mrs. Annie L.
Diggs, who suggested and explained
the plan to the meeting this forenoon,
which was held behind closed doors.
Only the preliminary steps have been
taken, but the members and delegates
in attendance at this meeting are con-
fdent that the scheme can be success
fully worked out.
An effort has been made TO keep the
proceedings in this matter from the
public, but enough has leaked out to
present a very fair outline of what is
proposed.
Now that the first steps have been
taken, the members will secure the
services of lawyers and have bill pre-
pared for passage at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature which will aid
the DEVELOPMENT of the plan.

$500 TO LIBRARY.
A Contribution ofThat Amount Prom.
ised to the City Library.

Mr.. E. Wilder was very agreeably
surprised to find in his mail this morn
ing letter advising that within a
reasonably early period there would be
$4,000 at his service as an unsolicited
contribution by friend of Kansas and
Topeka, towards the payment of the
building debt of the Topeka Library as
sOciation.
Contributions have been made here
tofore by several parties in and out of
Topeka for the creation of permanent
book funds. the income from which is
being expended monthly and is the on
ly source now available for the pur-
chase of new books for the library, but
this is the first large contribution to-
wards the cost of the building since its
erection some u years ago.
As the public library has long since
passed the experimental stage and is
recognized as one of the most useful
and attractive Institutions of our city.
the building debt ought not to be al
lowed to continue much longer, because
the ability and thought that has been
expended during the past u years in
earning and paying promptly the inter-
est on the debt could be put to better
uses, if, through the generosity of
some of our well to do citizens. the re-
mainder of the debt could be paid off.

CLERK M'CABE LOCKED UP.
he and John Ritchie are Accidentally
Shut in a Vault

County Clerk McCabe and John Ritch-
lie were locked in the vault in the sher-
ifs office today by an accident and it
was an hour before they were rescued.
The combination on the vault door is
treacherous and when the two men
went into the vault for a private talk
some one pushed the door shut. The
bolt slipped into place and the door
could not be opened.
Clerk McCabe thought that some one
had played a trick upon him and the
door could be opened and he begged
and threatened but the lock could not
be worked. Under Sheriff Lucas had a
subpoena to serve on Mr.. Ritchie and
he took advantage of his position and
showed it under the door.
In the course of an hour after the
two prisoners had exhausted all their
powers of persuasion the janitor Sc
cured a ladder and they were taken out
through a window

GOV. POWERS PLAINTIvE CRY.
Urges the Young Men Not to Go West
But Stay In Maine.

Augusta. Me-. Jan. 7.-Governor Pow
ers' inaugural address opens with a fell
citation upon improved Industrial and fin
ancial prospects. He then says: Our
young men have very generally ceased to
emigrate to the far west soon as they
are old enough to commence life for
Themselves They are beginninn to real
ize the important truth that at home are
to be found more certain inducements and
advantages with much less of hardship,
suffering and privation.
Our people have learned in the stern
school of experience to their sorrow and
cost that q large part of the many mil
lions of men that have been sent vest
ward to enrich and build up that section
and to be invested in all sorts of wild and
visionary schemes, Will never be returned
to them again; and they VIII no longer
permit themselves to be deluded and de-
ceiVed by Specious pretenses and false
promises rarely ever to be realized. We
may therefore reasonably hope that their
savings hereafter will be largely employ
ed in more fully developing the resources
of our own state.

PURITY LEAGUE FAILED.
The Prosecution of Hugo 0uendow is
Adjusted by Marriage.

The Social Purity League of Topeka
is having trouble with the officers of
the law. The organization has been
exerting itself to prosecute offenders
and about the time the tolls of the law
have placed the victim at the door of
the penitentiary, something happens
which thwarts the league and turns
the offender loose on the community.
AS a rule the arrests resulting from
the work of the social purity league
are for a statutory offense which in
many cases could have been obviated
by marriage. AS long as the league has
control of the girl who has been wrong
ed, she seldom relents, but assists in
the prosecution. If however, the
friends of the offender can use their in
fuence, they try to have the trouble
adjusted by marriage. When that is
done. the social purity league has all
its trouble for nothing, for the cases
are usually dismissed because the pros
ecuting witness, who is the wife of the
prisoner, will not appear against her
husband.
Consequently the league is always on
the alert to head off marriages of that
kind, but the organization has just been
foiled once more and the officers are
held responsible.
Hugo Quendow, who was employed in
the Santa Fe shops, was arrested at the
instance of the league on complaint of
a is year old girl by the name of Libbie
Peaster. QuendOw has been in the
GUILTY. jail SEVERAL AlOAlIlS anu Vas u
have had his trial at the coming term
of court The league had taken the
trouble to send the complaining wit
ness to Jeavenworth, but some of
Quendow's friends wrote to the mother
of the girl and a plan to have the couple
married was fixed up.
The officers of the social purity league
heard of the proposed marriage. They
saw Judge Wood and asked him not to
issue q marriage license unless upon
advice Of the county attorney.
In. spite of that the license was issued.
Quendow was brought from the Jail
and the couple married in the office of
QuendoW was taken back to Jail.
The case against Quendow will proba-
bly, be dismissed when it is called. and
the social purity league has had all its
work for nothing.

WEYLER'S BUTCHER.
Bloodthirsty Deeds of His Favorite
Officer Fondeviela.

New York, Jan. 7.-Antonio Aguaro,
a member of the Havana Produce Ex-
change, arrived here by the steamer
Orizaba from Havana. He was a resi-
dent of Guanabacoa, where, according to
recent reports from Havana. atrocities
We're committed by the Spanish troops
under Col. Fondeviela.
Senior Aguaro, when seen last night,
said:
THE reports which reach the United
States of the state of affairs in GUIANA
bacO2, are far from telling the whole
truth. Col. Fondeviela has instituted
a reign of terror at the place. His name
is we'll known to the American press as
that OF the most blood thirsty officer of
Gen. Weyler's command. He is fav-
orite of the captain general and has
been appointed military commander of
Guanabacoa, just across the bay from
Havana.
Fully 800 families have left the town
and moved into Havana since his TAX
ing charge. People are taken from their
homes at night and killed with
machetteS in the outskirts of the city.
The world is then made to believe
that such people were leaving their
homes to join rebels, who swarm the
neighborhood. 1 know of 80 persons
who have thus been done away With.
Even honest Spaniards are shocked at
F'ondeviela's acts.
ssOne of these honest Spaniards warn
ed me that my name was on a list with
more than 200 more kept by Fondeviela
as men marked by him for secret execu-
ton as rebel sympatbizerS. Being q
thoroughly neutral man and having
good friends among CubapS and Span
iarGS-alike, l managed to obtain my
passport for the United States. I owe
my escape from Fondeviela's clutches
to my Spanish friends, for whom feel
the greatest gratitude

COrbett Put Out Because His

Left, Then Right.

Orlando Battaglia, who is about five
and a half feet tall He was fined by
Police Justice Sellers and he paid his

of a steam whistle. Stage Manager
Battaglia informed Corbett that the
companys whistle could not be made
ready and they would be obliged to de-
pend on a mouth power whistle, owned

Corbett's cue came a few seconds too
late, and when the curtain came down
Gentle James made straight for Bat
taglia, and, Selling him by the shoulder
raised him from the floor and shook
the breath out of the stage managers
body. Then he deposited the little fell
low on the floor, gave him smash
with the left along side the head, and,
sending out his right, sent him into the
air.
The little stage manager landed on
his back a dozen feet away. Corbett
refused to pay Battaglia the two days
