Covered All Kinds of Country.

"The route, beginning at Sheridan,
Wy, and ending at Galena, this state,
covered all kinds Of country, turf, sand,
rock, clay mud. When they entered
on the last 100 miles Of the journey, the
horses were in as good condition in
every way as when they started.
"One Of the important features pos
sessed by the range horse is small, hard
hoofs, which will stand the wear Of
paved street or rough country. The
range horse is more intelligent, ambi-
tious, tractable and enduring than those
grown by breeders and farmers in the
Middle and Eastern states. In 1893,
only 800 horses were sold in Chicago
for export. This year, the number will
exceed $4,000 or 80 per cent of the total
number disposed Of in this market.
The French army has taken a great
many. We believe the performance of
the horses which Just came from Wy
oming will influence the German and
English army agents and exporters for
domestic purposes to try our Western
horses.'

Topeka NOTES.

Governor Leedy says, although he
was present at the council meeting in
Topeka at which the licensing of joints
was discussed, he did not endorse the
plan and does not now endorse it.
The raising of revenue for the city OF
Topeka or any other city is not a
matter in which he is concerned, and
: he has not thought the matter over.
He went to the council meeting to dis
cuss means to reduce the expenses
of the police force and not being con-
cerned in the revenue question took
no interest in it.
Governor Leedy is personally in
specting all of the State institute ons
in order to familiarize himself with
the condition and needs of each.

In Smoky Hill precinct, in McPher-
son, the republican judge of election
placed ink in the booth instead of pen
ellis and then caused ballots marked
with ink to be thrown out. This ac-
tion defeated the populist candidates
for treasurer and sheriff, and they are
cOntesting.
The State Grain inspection depart
ment which was created by the last
Legislature is making q good record.
This law took the inspection and
grading of grain out of the hands of
the boards of trade and turned it over
to officers named by the Governor.
AS the producer could expect little
Justice from the board of trade, whose
interest is not in harmony with his,
the old system was of little value to
the people of the State. The new sys-
TENS also brings to the State treasury
the profits arising from the inspeation
if any there be instead of putting it in
to the pockets of the inspectors. The
State has this advantage without in
curing any liability for the inspec-
tors salaries when the income is not
sufficient to pay them. The Septem-
Der report of State Inspector Culver
shows net profit to the State of
$2,026.9S, which has been deposited in
the State treasury. Populist laws
seem to be pretty good things.

Vice-president Hobart should have
accompanied the assertion of his be-
lief that congress will pass curren-
cy law that will meet the temper, the
tone, the requirements of the United
States'' with bill of particulars.
Populists believe that such a bill must
provide for the coinage of gold and
silver on the same terms, but they are
not expecting such legislation from
this congress.

THE RECEPTION.
From the Rosenberg X-Ray.


Mrs. w. II. Whistler has long en-
joyed the reputation of being one of
the most charming hostesses, and when
cards were out inviting the young peo-
pie of Rosenberg to assemble in the
parlors of the Whistler residence to
tender congratulations to F. w. Oheim
and wife, expectancy was raised to the
highest pitch and none were dissa-
pointed.
The rooms were beautifully decor
rated with leaves and flowers of every
hue. =
Mrs Whistler was assisted in reciev-
ing by Mesdames W. N. Worthington
Peter Billings, Taylor Ray and W. r.
Cone.
When the dining room doors were
thrown open, disclosing the elegant
spread, laid for the occasion, exclam-
ations of delight were heard on every
hand. The center peice was a huge
boquet of water lilies on a mirror
and a most artistic piece of work.
Chrysanthemums and ivy were every
where, luscious grapes hung in clus-
ters, only waiting the coming of the
guests. Fruits of all kinds, candies,
nuts, cakes and fancy pastry made up
the spread which was keenly enjoyed
by those present.
Mrs. Riding kindly furnished the
guests with music, and singing and
social converse served to while the
time away.
1t was magnificent affair and re-
fleets great credit upon Mrs. Whistler
and her assistants in its beauty of
conce. tion and graceful execution.

J. r. Burton to New York to rustic
campaign funds in 1894 and that Bur-
ton picked up about $4,000 but did
not give Leland an opportunity to use
it. He put what was used into Legis-
lative campaigns, and this is given as
the reason why Leland opposed Bur-
ton for senator.
A small button with a colored bor-
der and the letters P. o. on it is in
circulation and it's use has caused
much speculation as to it's meaning.
1t now appears that it simply means
"public ownership" and that it is
only worn by those that believe in
that principle. II is taking like wild
fire and is all the rage.
Claims made by New York Life
agents that they have elicences todo busi-
ness in Kansas, and that they were
obtained by the recent dismissal of
that company's damage suit against
McNall, are unfounded. No agent
of this company or any other which
has been shut out, has authority to
write insurance in Kansas.
The Deaf and Dumb Institute at
Olathe shows an enrolment of 262,
the largest in the history of the insti-
tuition. Superintendent Stewart is
making a model officer and his work
is commended by every one who has
children at the institution or who is
conversant with its management.
The Travellers Insurance COMPANY
is still doing everything in its power
to prevent Superintendent McNall
from examining it. It's excuse now
is that the books are in the hands of
Superintendent Belts of Connecticut.
Later they may continue to fight the
examination by going into court and
endeavoring to get decision in line
with a recent Colorado decision which
was to the effect that State cannot
make laws which are applicable to
citizens of another. The persistency
of this company in fighting an exam
ination strengthens the suspicion that
it's aft airs are in bad shape.
