WILL FORCE THE FIGHT
Webb McNalI Looking for a Place to
Striks Judge Fosters Injunction.

webb McNalI and his attorneys will
have a conference within a short time
and agree upon the manner in which
he shall violate Judge Fosters restrain
ing order in the case of the MetropoIi-
tan Life Insurance company.
McNaI1 figures that the decision of
the case in the United States court of
appeals will be slow and he desires a
speedy settlement of the controversy.
It is therefore probable that he will
violate the order in some manner and
will Immediately be ordered committed
for contempt of court. This would be
followed by an application for release
upon a writ of habeas corpus.
Before taking this step the attor-
neys for McNalI would be prepared
with their petition and other papers
necessary and have a lawyer ready to
get on a train and proceed to Wash
ington, where the case would be laid
before a judge of the supreme court.
McNalI holds that the law vests him
with arbitrary power; that there is no
appeal from him, and that it is not
necessary for him to assign cause when
he revokes a license for an insurance
company to do business in the state
He says that the law gives this arbi-
trary power so that he may be in pO-
sition to protect insured persons or their
beneficiarieS against the diIatory settle
meutS of losses.

LYON AGAINST EXTRA SESSION
Z. e. Wright Says Maximum Rate
Bill Must be q Certainty.

I. r. Wright Of Emporia visited the
governor yesterday evening and told
the chief executive that the people of
Lyon county are not in favor of a spe-
ciaI session of the legislature unless 1t
is absolutely certain that a maximum
freight rate bill will be enacted
1--WE want a freight bill of that char
acter and want it badly" said Mr..
Wright. But we cannot afford. the
party cannot afford to indulge in a spe-
cfaL session unless something is sure to
be cOmpIiShed.
Il do not believe" he continued, that
the men who have refused to support
a maximum rate bill have changed
their minds and it would be foolish
ness to call them back to Topeka to
fool away time and money and at the
same time not secure the benefits to
which we are entiteld.

IS THERE A LEeIsLATUREa
a New Phase of the Extra Session
Question Brought to View.

Another difficulty confronts Governor
Leedy upon the proposition to have
special session of the Legislature and
it is found in the law reapportiontng
the state to legislative districts
The question arises, since the law be
came operative, Have the members
from the old districts been legtslated
out of Office by this new Iaw?'
If so, there are several vacancies in
the list of representatives and senators
which will necessarily be filled at the
election this fall
An election might change the stand
ing of the legislature. The POpulists
redistricted the state in such a manner
as to assure themselves additional Pop
uIist legislators at the ensuing cleo
tons, but the contingency of a special
session had not received any constd-

IMPROVEMENTS TO BEGIN.
North and South Entrances to the
Capitol to Receive Attent ton.

Now that a state architect has been
appointed and the $4,000 appropriated
by the legislature for state house i'm
provements is available. the executive
council proposes to begin at once the
work of completing the capitol.
With the unexpended balance of the
last appropriation by the legislature of
1895 and the June, 1897, taxes which
will soon begin to come in, the council
will have between $4,000 and $65, 900
to expend.
1t is proposed first to complete the
north and south entrances of the capi-
toll, then the library rooms on the third
floor and remove the state library out
of the basement.
The construction of diagonal walks
will be one of the early improvements
which the council will order.

THE BAREFOOT CURE
Logic of the Fad

Looking for the reason why people are
benefited by the DR.. kneipp practice of
barefoot walking in wet grass. it will be
remembered by electricians that little IN
felt currents of electricity are continually
passing to and fro between the body Of
animals and the earth (the great field of
negative electricity The free passage of
these currents sets up what is known as
eleCtro-n tive force. a very important
need Of the human body. The human is
the only body that is insulated from the
earth tby leather. nol-conductor).
Therefore the free passage of the na turaI
currents is interfered with and the body
aecumulates an excess of positive cleo
trtcity from the atmosphere, which it
cannot readily pass of A few moments

trouble. The feet should then be rubbed

HAWAII AS A STATE.

Senator Morgan has returned from
the Hawaiian islands a much frmer
believer in annexation than when he
went there. But he comes back with
some very queer notions in his head,
one of which is that Hawaii. when an
nexed Che assumes there is no question
but that the islands viii be annexed),
viii come in as a state. 1t may be
doubted whether the most ardent mem
Der of the Dole government has ever
had so wild dream as this of Sena-
tor Morgan's; annexation as q territory
is all they have ever hoped for, and
certainly it is all they are entitled to
hope for.
The annexation of the islands isn't
desirable in the first place, but propo-
sition TO admit them as. state of the
Union is so repugnant that one cannot
contemplate il with patience. Alto
gether Hawaii has population of only
about 10000, and it is the most heter-
ogeneous mass imaginable. The far
greater part of it is of the very races
that congress has been enaeting law
after law to exclude from the United
States. To make them American citi-
zens and place them under the stars
and stripes would not make them one
bit more desirable than they are to-
day.
Annexation may come; all things in
dictate that it viii come, but Hawaii
will not come in as a state. But Sena-
tor Morgan's talk shows to what extent
the iingoes are ready to SO at al times,
and to follow their words with acts. To
the senator from Alabama belongs the
palm for jingoism. perhaps. though
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts is a
very close second. It is a safe predie-
ton that Senator Morgan will not live
to see Hawaii an American state.

ion that it will most likely be the great
issue again in 1900. The Republicans
and the enemies of silver are most anS-
ious that the elections this fall shall
show that there has been no revival of
the silver sentiment, and are doing all
in their power to direct things to that
end; and so they and the friends of
silver regard the elections this fail as
shiI1nishes which will show in a meas
armies, and thus it is that it becomes
most important that where the silver
sentiment has been strong. as in Utah.
that the people give evidence that it
has not lost any strength.
Our contemporary processes not to
see wherein it is necessary that the peo-
pie Of this city declare themselves on
the silver question at this time 1t is
very blind for some reason or other. in
truth it is so blind that its course re-
calls the old saying that there are
none so blind as those who will not

THE UNION PAcrF1c SALE.

The Union Pacific railroad is to be
sold November .. There has been much
discussion Of the sale. some commend
ing it, others condemninG it, while COM
paratively few have looked upon it as
it is. business proposition pure and
simple.
The governments connection with the
road has been so intimate that it has
figured in politics to a very considera-
BILE extent, so much so that it has been
almost impossible to disassociate 1t from
politics. The governments interests in
the road have been juggled with in
many ways, from q first it having be-
come a second mortgage. There have
been schemes and schemes for refund
ing the company's debt. but none has
ever been received with favor by con-
gress At last an arrangement for the
sale of the road was entered into by the
Cleveland administration which has
received the approval of the Mckinley
administration. BY this arrangement
the government will lose many Millions
yet there was a question whether it
would not lose more by refusing to ac-
cept it. Now comes the news that a
new syndicate has been formed by Rus
sell Sage for the purchase of the road
at the time it is put up for sale. This
syndicate. it IS said. Will bid UP to the
par value of the governments lenr
while the Morgan syndicate was to
make an upset price many millions be-
low it. If there is really something in
this new syndicate and it is going to
outbid the Morgan crew, it will be a
good thing for the government, and it
will have a tendency to confirm much
of the talk about a deal.
In any event. it is a good thing that
there is 70 be 10 taking possession Of
the road by the government, which
would be- in ali probability, the first
step towards government ownership of
railroads, and almost anything is pre-
ferable to that. It Will be a matter of
congratulatton when the government
connection with the Union Pacific rail-
road is finally severed. It now looks as
though this would happen next week
