UNDER The DOME
William Lampkins Appears For
the 18th Time
To Pay the Annual Inter est ON
500 Which
HE OWES THE STATE.
News of the Kansas State De-
partments.

William LampIins, who doesn't know
his age and can't tell exactly where he
was born, is the most punctual man
that the state has dealt with for the
past 10 years.
William is a white headed cid co1ored
man who lives on a tract in Tecumseh
an acre and quarters in extent.
The land is owned by the state agricul-
tura1 college, and Is years ago the old
man entered into a contract to take
the tract for 800, to be paid as he found
himself able. By the terms of the con-
tract the principal was to draw interest
amounting to So a year.
The contract was drawn up on March
25, 1879, and on March 25, 1880 the old
man made his appearance at the state
treasury and paid the interest for the
first year. On the 25th day of every
March since that time, except when the
date fell on Sunday, the white head of
the old darby has been seen at the win
dow of the treasury department, and
IS has been deposited with the state.
More than this, his punctuality has re-
suited in his annual visit being made
between the hours of 10 and II in the
morning. When March 25th has fallen
on Sunday he has paid his interest on
either Saturday or Monday.
His annual visit was made to the state
treasury yesterday, and he informed
Assistant State Treasurer Williams
that he would pay half the principal
some time this year. The tract con-
Stitutes a block in the town of Tecum-
sch, and the old man raises garden
truck for the Topeka market.

CRAWFORD'S PLAIN TALK.
The Ex-Governor Says Spain is a
Brutal Nation and Should Be
Exterminated.

Ex-Gov. Samuel J. Crawford, writing
from Washington, says of Cuban af-
fairs:
What the government is going to do
in regard to Cuba is as uncertain in
the minds of the people here, as in To-
peka. It looks as though our folks are
concentrating the army and navy with
in striking distance, preparatory to the
making of demands of some kind on
Spain. But whether so or not. or what
they will be if made, no one can tell. It
may be war; it viii probably be peace.
The devastation and destruction of
homes and plantations in Cuba. and
the torture, robbery and murder of
helpless women and children, and 9TH
ers. by thieves, nurderers and assassins
on both sides ought to be stopped by
the united efforts of all civilized gov
ernments and people.
1.-THE Spaniards are incapable of gov
erning themselves or Spain, and the
Cuban revOlutiOnists are not much bet
ter. They are all of the same kith and
kin, and ought to be suppressed.
Spain is nothing more than cor
rupt, disreputable, bankrupt tramp
among nations, and her people
excel only in the science of brutality
and butchery and bull fighting.
THE Spaniards, for the sake Of relig-
ion, robbery and conquest, have muir
dered more helpless men and innocent
WOHleh anu en- Ell lIislli tilsIe d INV
Spaniards in the world living.
THAT such ignorant, brutal fiends
should have been, and should still be,
permitted to go on perpetrating their
hellish crimes in full view of civiliza-
ton. is a disgrace to humanity.
Look at their religious wars. and the
torture and butchery that accompanied
them and followed in the wake. Look
at the inquisition! Look at the dun
geons from Spain to Mexico. South
America and elsewhere, where countless
millions of people have been tortured
and murdered, for what? Look at the
butchery that followed their conquests
in Mexico and South America, and look
at the red handed assassins in Cuba
now.
IF I was president of these United
States. or queen of England, or either,
or both, ] should say to Spain, stop that;
and if she didn't stop at once. 1 would
open on her with canister at close range
and sink the whole outfit"

K s. us BAD PLIGHT.
Gov. Leedy Has Gone to See What
Can Be Done About It.

Governor Leedy went to Lawrence
yesterday to confer with the regents of
the state university in reference to re-
building the power house destroyed by
fire this week. The power house fur
nj he'd the entire heat and light for the
university, as well as the motive power
arrangements will have to be made at
once or the university will have to
close.
Governor Leedy was in Lawrence on
the day the power house burned, and
he said it was thought that temporary
arrangements could be made for heat
ing and lighting the school until an
appropriation could be secured, for an
expenditure of about SO 900. There is
now s., 100 in the hands of the treasurer
as the balance of the university main
tenance fund, and after July 1 the reg
ular maintenance appropriation OF
s., 900 becomes available.
If it has developed later that even
temporary arrangements cannot be
made for the amount now available, it
will take an appropriation to replace
the building. This may possibly have
some influence on a special session of
the legislature. Governor Leedy would
not talk about this feature today, stat
ing that he would have to confer with
the regents before he would know any
thing about it.
one of the mem bers of the admins
tration, who is in favor of a special ses-
sion, said today:
81 think this would be a good time
to build the chemistry hall that the
friends of the university have been ask
ing for for years. The present chem
istry building is inadequate to the needs
of the university, and it could be used
hall would probably require an appro-
priation of from $40, 900 to $50, 900. If
it is found that the university cannot
remain open without something being
done that would require an appropri-
alton, think it would become the du-
ty of the state to take means to have

Street Railway Investments

The directors of the North Chicago
Street Railroad company have decided to
increase the capital stock of that corpora
tion by 20 per cent to take up debentures
and wipe out debts incurred for extensions
and betterments. The articles of incor-
poration authorize a capital stock of $10,-
600, 900, but only $500 900 has been issued
The new issue will therefore add 81 1920 900
and make the outstanding stock aggregate
$7,920, 900.
The Chicago, Waukegan and North
Shore Railway company has been incor-
porated with a capital of 100000 to build

Chicago Real Estate

According to leading Chicago journal.
Americas declaration Of war came too
late in the month to appreciably diminish
the real estate transfers for the four
weeks of April They amounted to &c.
b19,169, and far exceeded the amount for
the corresponding month of 1897, which
was $S, ,SS2 ,056. AS the ordinary time taken
for the filing of deeds is about two weeks,
the record for the month Of May is ex-
pected to suffer, and to fall far below the
same month of last year.
The effects of the formal declaration of
war were seen in last weeks recording of
transfers, when the total amount for the
six days was only $1,S53,56S, as against
$2,445.912 for the same week of 1897.
A leading Chicago broker is reported as
saying: "Of course, the sales market is
now practically at standstill, and for
two reasons. The first of these is the
soaring of timid investors by the declara-
tion of war. The second is the fact that
we are all too busy with renting to pay
much attention to sales. am glad to re-
port such an excellent renting market this
year. The number of vacancies are small
this season, and the prices are as rule
firm.

The Outlook for Britain

British foreign trade returns are not as
satisfactory as those Of our own country,
and English journals commenting on this
fact do not hesitate to say that the lack of
demand from this country is being Sc
riously noticed. The export trada of the
United Kingdom In March this year was
valued at G20,83 900, a decrease Of 3.75 per
cent from March a year ago. For the
first three months Of the present year the
exports were more than f1500 900 smaller
than in 1897 and a3,6O0.O0O smaller than in
1896. The import trade, on the other
hand. shows an increase, the higher
price Of cereals being a not unimportant
factor in this latter result. The total i'm
ports for the first quarter aggregate
ELS, ,099, 900, an increase OF Ell, 400 900 as
compared with last year, said to have
been due almost entirely to the higher
price of wheat and flour imports. The
value OF, exports in the first quarter
amounted to 957,707 900, a160O, 900 smaller
than last year, and E3, 900 900 smaller than
two years ago. The exports to the
United States of principal articles for the
quarter showed a decrease of Ell 200, 900,
while imports therefrom gained a25OO,OOO
and the balance against Great Britain for
that period is a very heavy one. The
British imports of principal articles ag-
gregated fully E10,000,O00 in March, as
against less than aS,OOOOOO in March last
year. and are fully a25OO, 900 larger than
for the three months of 1897. Were 1t not
for indications that India has increased
its purchasing power as regards British
articles, the outlook for British trade, in
the opinion of Bradstreet's, might be in
deed regarded as very poor one.
