ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.
Colonel Walker Taylor yesterday re-
ceived a letter from his brother-in-law
Senator A. NJ. Scales, of Greensboro,
stating that Guilford county, gives a
democratic majority of LOO.
The town Of Ashpole, Robson coun-
ty. recently got on the map on account
of the race conflict. The fact that al
the election on Tuesday Ashpole cast
12S democratic votes and only one fus-
ion vote, entities that place to be put
on the map in red. In lifting his hat
to the banner precinct. a well known
septuagenarian of the city says if he
| ever has another son he will name him
Ashpole.
We learn from Brunswick county
I that the fusionists claim to have car
ried the county by majorities from II
upwards. DR.. Mcneil, democrat, has
been elected to the house of represen-
tatives by 20 majority, and one demo
cratic commissions has been elected

The white people of Wilmington,
who own the property and pay the
taxes have given emphasis to their de-
termination to conduct the affairs of
their city, in the resolutions adopted
at their mass melting yesterday. The
talk was straight and the language
plain, and it may not go well with the
negro or white leader who mistakes it.

All kinks were taken out Of the
shoestring district in Tuesdays cleo
ton. A good deal of Bellamy's 5000
majority is due to the splendid cam
paign which he made, and The Obser-
yer loses no time in according him
this credit and extending it's congratu-

most worthily into Mr.. Bellamy's
hands.

but it is right that patience should end

The workmen at the cotton oil mills
were so frightened last night that they
would not start for their homes. When
it became known to the city authorities
a detachment of special police was sent

Full of Freight.

\ News reporter took look through the Mckinnon warehouse last Thurs day and was surprised to find it packed to it's full capacity with goods bound for the upper Stikeen. The boats re- gently from Victoria and Vancouver have been loaded with freight for the interior. The shipping of goods up the Stilteen will probably continue for the next three months, and while these shipments appear innocent in them selves, yet we are led to believe the laying up of such immense stocks are closely connected with the recent re ported discoveries of placer mines near Lake Teslin and the construction of ihc tilenora railroad.

Only Twelve Minutes.

Judge Jackson and Deputy Marshal Grant moved very suddenly last Wed nesday. They got John Nelson into court on the charge of selling liquor to Indians. John is guilty. for he plead that way when the charge was read. From the time that the complaint was filed until John was sentenced to 6tl days in jail only twelve minutes had elapsed John will go to the bastle at Sitka for two months, and we hope when he returns he will be q better and wiser man.

UNDER THE DOME
News of the Kansas State De-
partments.
Gov. Leedy Will Appoint a Com
mission
WITHIN TWO WEEKS
To Work Up the Kansas Ex-
hibit at Omaha.
Fully 100000 Kansans Will
Visit the Omaha Exposition.

Governor Leedy will probably appoint
commission to prepare an exhibit
from Kansas for the Omaha exposition
within the next two weeks.
Yesterday afternoon a committee of
Topeka men, called together at the So
licitation of Mr.. E. S. Tucker, the expo
sition representative who is working
for the Kansas exhibit, met with the
governor and discussed the advisability
of appointing a committee at an early
date. The committee consisted of Mr..
Chas. S. Gleed, Major T. J. Anderson,
Mr.. Lee Jones, Mr.. ]. w. MOrphy and
Mr.. M. D. Henderson.
1t was the general expression of the
members of the committee that little
time should be lost in choosing the COM
mission so that the work of raising the
necessary funds for the exhibit could be
started at once. Mr.. Gleed stated that
the people of the state were becoming
interested in the matter, and he thought
it was now the general opinion that
Kansas should be represented by an APP
propriate display at the Omaha expo
sitiOn.
Governor Leedy practically gave the
gentlemen to understand that the
commission would be appointed within
the next two weeks, and that the work
of raising the funds would be left en-
tirely with that body. If appointed,
the commission will consist of seven
members.
There is every probability that at
least 100000 Kansas people will visit the
Omaha exposition and they will feel
mortified if Kansas doesn't have a dis
play worthy of the state.

FITZSIMMONS TALKS.
Says He VIII Not Fight Until a Good
Man Shows Up.

Toledo, o., Feb. 22.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons was found in his room at the Body
House last evening in company with his
wife, Robert F'itz Jr., and little tot in
the arms of the nurse. They were a happy
family, and the champion was feeling as
good natured and as happy as a man
who had been left big legacy by a rich
uncle.
Fitz proceeded to business himself by
saying: I suppose you want to know if
1 will fight COrbett? My answer is, let
Corbett go and whip Maher first, and then
I will fight him. He made whip seven
men before he would agree to meet me-
He gave the championship belt to Maher
because he thought he was the best able
to defend it; if not, why did he not re-
thumb in the second round at Carson City
and finished the fight and Corbett with
practically one hand. COrbett is good
shifty sparrer but he is no fighter His
blows have no force to them. 1 could
stand up all day against his blows If
l ever meet him again l will give him a
whipping he will remember the rest OF
''Maher is a fighter. When he hits a
man he feels it.
"Corbett is afraid to meet Maher for
he knows in his heart Peter can whip
What do I think of Mccoy? He is a
pretty clever young fellow, but he has no
business going out of his class. Maher
or Sharkey would make mince meat out
When viii l fight again? Well, that
all depends. New men are constantly
springing up, and when 1 find one capa-
bic of making a worlds champion viii
meet him.

ALAUGH FOR LEEDY.
One of His metropolitan Police
Patrols His Beat on a
Streetcar.

After a man had been knocked down
and robbed at the corner of Sixth and
Lincoln streets, Chief of Police Steele
decided that some show of protection to
that part of town was necessary, and
instructed a patrolman to ride back
and forth on West Sixth street car
every evening up to the time the cars
stop running. The patrolman stands
on the rear steps, in the way of every
body getting on or off the car, and
gazes braVely up every cross street as
the car flies past. This is a most re-
markabIe scheme for protection ever
heard of and is as useless as it is ex-
cruciatingly funny. Governor Leedy,
who has a high sense of humOr ought
to hear of it. This is the first time in
the history of the world that a police
man ever patrolled his beat on a street
car. It is something like this that
gives so many people the opportunity
to laugh at POpulists.

A. o. .. w. AT WICHITA
Principal First Days Feature is the
Hunting of Candidates.

Wichita, Feb. 22.-Wichita belongs to
the Workmen this wee. 1t is estimated
that the total attendance will not be less
than 1,50O.
There is a strong contest for the offices.
The office of grand master workman is
the. highest in point of honor, and along
with the honor comes a neat little salary
of s., 500 a year. w. H Crider of Fort
Scott, the present grand master, is a
candidate for denomination. M. Wallace
of Kingman, past grand master, is also a
candidate. Wichita also has a candidate,
Captain John H. Shields.
The next most important office is that
of grand medical director. The list has
been narrowed down to five active candi-
dates: They are DR.. J. M. Minick of this
city, DR.. G. P. Mariner Of Marion, Dr. w.
r. Griffin of Ellis, DR.. UhlS of PaOla ana
DR.. Thomas Kirk of Burr Oak.
For grand foreman the principal candi-
dates are Gibbons and Hoener of Topeka
and Chas. Hooper of Great Bend.
Judge L. B. Stein of Kansas City seems
to be the only one who has an ambition
to be grand Overseer.
The main work of this session of the
lodge will be the adoption of some new
plan of assessment.

the entertainment of the visitors to the
National Creamery Buttermakers' as
ISOLATION.
There were nearly 1000 people in the
hall, but the bidding for buttons was
confined to only a few persons. The
great crowd came mainly to attend the
Butter show and to listen to the band.
When Mr.. Waters was introduced by
c. S. Downing, chairman of the execu-
tive committee appointed by the Com
mercial club to arrange for the cream
cry convention, he declared that To-
peka is one of the best and cleanest
cities in the world.
Lots of people know this" he said
because when I have been the literary
editor of Sam Radges' directory, I
have never neglected an opportunity to
declare that Topeka is the fairest city
that gems the globe. We have the
finest people on earth. God has given US
a magnificent country. Think of it. We
are in the midst of plenty with great
pillows of land extending to the oceans
on either side, safe from the reach of
any Spanish ruler. Topeka is the only
capital in the state.
1T is the only town in the United
States where the policy of administra-
lions suits everybody. Those who
want a dry town, have it; those who
want a wet town, have it. Before be-
ginning this auction I want to raise
raise your spirits. If 7 can't do it,
would advise the purchase, by each of
70 uOf a box of Kuehne's baking pow
thing
This is an intensely interesting con-
ventiOn which has come to Topeka. The
delegates should tread on velvet SHOULD
sleep on plush. Theirs is one of the
most important business enterprises of
the country. They have demonstrated
that cows and cream must be respect
ed. 1t takes a capitalist to own a cow
since they have built up the butter
business, and a syndicate to own
creamery. We are always accustomed
to good butter in Topeka, but it gives
US pleasure to know thatpeOple in other
parts of the country enjoy similar
blessings"
Mr. Waters then read a telegram
from Frank p. MacLennan, proprietor
of the Journal who is in New York, Of
fering $50 for button No. 1.
Mr.. Waters scanned the crowd care
fully and exclaimed facetiously:
rs John r. or Dave Mulvane in the
room? If so, please rise
There was no response, and Mr.. Wa
ters proceeded to explain that such
small bids as $50 would ''buy notI1in' .
at that sale. He said:
In asking for bids or this button, we
do not talk about location. The audito-
rum may go to Tecumseh, the City
park or on top of Otto kuehne's vine
gar factory. What we want you to
do now. is to come up with your dough
do not know but that the contention
now going on over the site may i'm
mune the purchaser of the button; he
may never be called upon to pay for it.
But, suggest that all babies in Tope-
ka, hereafter, be named for the pur-
chaser of button No. L
Gentlemen, I'll now wait for bids"
The silence which followed Mr.. Wa
ters' declaration soon became oppress-
i've. Then he said
rs there a widow here who wants to
invest the balance of her husbands life
insurance in this button?
How much 'moffered for the but
tOn?"
''seventy-fve dollars" said Samuel
| T Howe.
THANK you.' said the auctioneer,
who then continued:

BRE1DENrHAL BELIEVES
In Telepathy Since He Has Been
Bank Commissioner.

Bank Commissioner John w. Breid-
enthaI is firm believer in mental tele-
pathy. In his opinion messages may
be transferred from one mind to anoth-
err regardless of distance, simply by
mental exertion on the part of the in
terested parties.
Mr. Breidenthal has not always
thought this way. He has become a
believer in mental telepathy only since
assuming the office of bank commits
siOner. 1t was circumstances that Oc-
CURED in the performance of his duties
that forced him into this way of think
ing.
For instance, Mr.. Breidenthal states,
he has often thought of writing to the
president or cashier of some bank in
some part of the state for certain in
formation, and before he would have
the opportunity of debating a letter
he would receive a letter from the bank
officer in question giving identically the
information he had made up his mind
to ask for. Commissioner Prudential
says this has occurred dozens of times.
At other times, when thinking how mat
tiers could be expedited by the presence
of some bank official, the official has
walked into his office. A repetition of
circumstances of this kind is RESPONSE
BILE for Mr.. BreidenthaPs peculiar belief.

MAY BE A. ]. ARNOLD.
He is Mentioned to Fill Prospective
Vacancy on Soldiers Home Board.


There is a row on among the mem
bers of the board of managers of the
State Soldiers home at Dodge City,
which will probably result in the re-
moval of r. N. Kerr, the POpulst MEM
Der from Anderson county, at the ex-
piratiOn of his term on the 18th of next
month The two other members are
J. A. Davis, silver Republican, and
Thos. H. Gresham, POpulist, and the
Democrats of Topeka will try and Sc
cure the appointment of ex-Postmaster
A J. Arnold to succeed Kerr.
When DR.. Setback, the late physician
at the home, resigned, Kerr went to
his home in Anderson county and with
out consulting the other members of
the board appointed DR.. Franklin of
that county to the position. In the
meantime the other two members of the
board came to Topeka and settled on
DR.. P. NJ. Sheafor of this city for the
place. He was appointed by Governor
Leedy, but when he arrived at Dodge
City he found DR.. Franklin installed
with his wife and two children. By
that time the governor had become
aware of Kerr's action by receiving let
tiers of protest from POpulists of Ander-
son county, stating that Franklin was a
bitter gold bug, and he at once took
steps to remove him.
For this action Kerr is in disgrace
with the other two members of the
board, and it will result in his removal
next month.
