TILLMAN TO THE FRONT,
He Introduces a Senatorial Resolution in
the Senate.

He Introduces a Senatorial Resolution In
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Tillman introduced in the senate reso-
luton for the appointment of a special
committee of five senators to inquire
into reports of speculation in sugar
stocks by senators, and as to advance
information by New York speculators
as to the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill, and also to continue the investiga-
ton made in 1894.
The resolution recites that one man
is serving sentence in Jail and an
other was yesterday acquitted on a
technicality and provides for conduct
ing the investigation SO all questions
shall bo pertinent.
Senator Frye in the chair, promptly
referred the resolution to the commit
tee on contingent expenses.
Tillman was allowed to speak on the
subject by unanimous consent. Tillman
said the democratic members of the
finance committee were under a cloud
on account of the sugar schedule of
the tariff bill of 1894. The republican
members were now under suspicion.
One party was as deep in the mud as
the other was in the mire.
Pettus, democrat, of Alabama, de-
manded that Tillman specify his
charges and that the whole senate
should not be subject to his sweeping
assertions.
Tillman said the present tariff bill
was made in the rooms of the airing
ton hotel with close connection by
telephone and telegraph with New
York and in close touch with the
sugar trust magnates.
Tillman had numerous extracts read
from papers showing that the sugar
trust secured the schedules asked in the
new bill, and also an extract from
paper making charge that Senator
Smith, of New Jersey, had been spec
ulating in sugar. Tillman closed
with declaration that the senate
should either prove the correspondents
liars or prove the senators corrupt and
then turn them out.

The Story Of o Mountain Goat Who In of
Humorous Turn OF Mind.

| En0 6tOry OF y MOunta1n GO6L VINO IL OI
Humorous Turn of Mind.
A mountain goat that1 once kept in
| confinement was about as cunning as
the average street arab, and, had he
lived to maturity and kept on acquir-
ing knowledge, the chances are would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch
He usually followed me, says
writer in Forest and Stream, on short
excursions into the woods, and gen.
orally kept right at my heels; but on
one occasion he Jagged behind, and,
although I called him several times,
he paid no heed. I finally walked back
to see what he was interested in and
found him busy feeding on some moss
that grew at the roots of fir tree,
so left him and continued my tramp.
But after l had got away short dis
tance the thought occurred to me to
hide and see how he would act; SO
slipped into hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited the result. Pres
emily / heard him coming bounding
along the trail, and after he had
passed stuck out my head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped and commenced looking
around, and the ccmical expression of
his face as he scanned every. object
that bore any semblance to a human
being caused me to burst out laughing,
when he turned AID saw me. Then he
commenced to sull: and would not go
any further, so ,adto ro hc:ne.
The next dag he followed me as
usual, but in the mid. OF some thick +,
brush and down timber l got interested
in bird that 1 was following up, and
forgot the goat, and when l came to
look for him he was gone. Walking back
to where | last saw him / called, but
no "Dilly' came in sight. Then COM
menced diligent search, and present
ly 1 caught sight of something white
beneath brush heap. STOPPING down
and looking in, saw the little brute
curled up in heap, and not n move
could get out CT him. Reaching in, J.
caught him by the leg and pulled hi
out, and gave him 4 good cuifipG
both sides of his head. b.
not mind it bit, and 80
the joke immensely,

A SIS, 200 WATER PLANT
Now going in at the Santa Fe Depot.
To be Followed by Bringing here
TWO SWITCH ENGINES.

The water plant now being put in
at the depot by the Santa Fe is a
much larger undertaking than most
people suppose, 1t involves the lay
ing of about mile of large mains, the
building of big tank, the erection of
pump house, the laying of gas mains
and the Installment of pumping
machinery. Altogether the expense
of the plant will be in the neighbour
heed of SIS, 600 and will be one of the
most complete anywhere in Kansas.
And one of the reasons it is being
put in is that the business of the rood
has increased so much at this station
that it has become necessary to main
tain switch engines here. The freight
trains on both the Santa Fee and Mo.
Pac. roads are frequently held here
from half an hour to two hours to do
switching. That is not good railroad
ing, and Supt. Barnes said recently
that as soon as the water plant was
completed here each road would I'M
Oubtedly maintain a switch engine
and crew here all the time.
And thus we grow.

The fusion candidates in this coun-
ty are what Mark Twain would call
cute. 1t would never do, of course,
to have cards printed announcing
themselves as POpulist candidates,
for some Democrat might be offended,
neither would it do to have them
selves announced as Democrats, for
that might offend some POpulist.
And so all their cards simply read
$50 and So, Candidate for Thus and
sou leaving the one who gets the
card to find out for himself what kind
of a candidate he is. And the joke
seems to be on Bro. Lambeth. The
story goes that he handed one of his
cards to an old Democrat the other
day who took it and read, III. w.
Lambeth, Candidate for Register of
Deeds" and then he looked up sadly
and said, Henry, it is bad enough to
be a candidate on two tickets let
alone trying to make it appear as if
you were ON three" And come to
think of it, it must be mighty en-
barrassing for a candidate to be afraid
or ashamed to print the name of his
party on his card.

TESTIMONIALS.

We each bought a "HOme Com
fort" steel range from the company's
wagon six years ago. Soon afterward
we were told we had paid too much
that our ranges would warp and
break, that we would throw them out
in a year or two. There is not warp
nor break about them they are as
good as new and we are convinced
they will last life time If taken care
of. Considering the perfect work of
the "Home Comfort" steel range, its
durability and amount of fuel saved
by the same, we pronounce it the
cheapest and best range on the mar
ket, and as such we cheerfully recon-
mend it to our neighbors and friends.

The Republican speech made by

small, but all who heard it were

entirely justified in forsaking the
party and uniting with one that is
based upon something higher than a
division of the spoils of office.
~
Ex-Auditor Cole, who was here last
week, said that in his county (Craw-
ford) the Republicans expected to
win, although the Pops. carried it
last year by several hundred votes.
The reason OF the change is the fail
ure of the POpulists to keep their
pledges to the coal miners. 1t is a
notorious fact that, in the face of the
most emphatic promises to the con-
trary. the penitentiary coal has been
brought into competition with free coal
as it never was before. One of the
latest evidences of this was in the
contract to supply Fort Leavenworth,
which the penitentiary secured by
bidding 10 cents under the other COM
petitOrs. No wonder the coal miners
are getting tired voting the Pop.
ticket.
