cutting out the costs in the case, by
warrant No. 10O29, showing double pay

That the above statement Of the case
Is not an unfair one is shown by the
following statement made by ex-State
Architect Holland over his signature in
a Topeka newspaper dated March 80,
1898:
This refers to an extra on plastering
which Mr.. Hopkins claimed was due him
from the contractor, Notwithstanding
the fact that he had given a receipt in
full Of settlement to the contractor.
refused to allow this claim, as 1t had
been adjusted through the original con-
tractors, Fellows & Vansant, and | had
given them their final voucher adjusting
all extras at the time claimed by them,
and objected to reopening the account.
Hopkins sued the account and got judg-
ment before a Justice of the Peace, and
then 1t was, am told, that the Executive
Council concluded to pay the bill. How
ever, have no knowledge of this fact,
only what was told me-"

by w. e. Hopkins g. Co. The tiling and
cementing Of floors in the Treasurer's
lavatory was provided for in the original
contract and was not an extra. The

Of some value.
But the worst feature of this extra was
In the plastering. The contractors were
paid for the entire work, but they sub-let

Senator Ingalls, reputation as a skin
ner Is international, and everyone con-
siders him to be an artist. This is his
line. He Is a specialist, and 1t Is taken
for granted that one so gifted as the
Senator should excel in his speciality. In
his controversy with Mr.. Leland he has
shown to the public that he is not an
all round man in politics. OF course he
is not to blame for that His experience
as an old soldier, for instance, was
microscopic in the extreme, hence he
slipped cog when he presumed his
Uncle Cyrus didn't have very strong
pull in that direction. Even Tom Ander-
son fell down on that proposition. He
also lost sight completely of the great
advantage Mr.. Leland possessed in hav-
ing a fat campaign fund-presumabl
for distribution. If he had read the
Wichita Eagle he might not have erred
on this point He overlooked entirely
the little matter of Mr.. Leland's having
railroad transportation in block, thus
enabling him to pack conventions with
his friends from the short grass coun-
try who were not able to ride and too
indisposed to walk. Not being in touch
with the administration, probably be-
cause Of his absence in Carson, he did
not know that Major Mckinley and his
Uncle Cyrus were comrades "in and
durin' the war, and that they were in
separable companions; oftentimes lay
ing around the commissary department
for weeks and weeks at time figuring
how they could beat Major Morrill, out Of
the drinks There is another little mat
ter Of strength possessed by Uncle Cyrus
that the Senator has no appreciation Of,
which is all on account, no doubt Of his
having associated with Maj. Warner, Of
Baxter, he drank nothing but whisky
straight. If Uncle Cyrus has a speciality
it is this little item of strength we are
speaking of, namely, "applejack," and
if the press boys can be believed it
possesses more power for getting the fell
lows together and solidifying and ANAL
gamating them than any other thing or
compound known to the political scien-
tific world. A liberal decoction will put
a man in that l don't care - frame
of mind, about the other fellows or is
sues and they are with the dispenser for
anything he wants. Men have been
known who, after taking tin full with
his uncle, forget their way out Of
Copeland county. l would suggest to
the Senator that before he puts on his
war paint for another bout with the
boss, that he first thoroughly diagnose
what he is running up against.

Kansas at the Omaha ExpOsltlon.

For several months Governor Leedy
has been endeavoring to secure the nee
essary funds to make a representative
exhibit at the Trans Mississippi Exposi-
tion at Omaha. He has persistently re-
fused to connect the name of the State
with an exhibit unless money enough
was available to make 1t creditable
one. A number of the railroads have
been induced to contribute to a fund
which now reaches sufficient proportions
to warrant the belief that decent eX-
hibit can be secured Accordingly a
commission has been named composed
of Ex-Governor Click, A. w. Smith, of
Mcpherson; A. H. Greet, Secretary of
the Pittsburg Commercial Club; John E.
Frost, Land Commissioner of the Santa
Fe and A. c. Lambe, of Wellington. This
is a splendid commission, which gives
the various parts of the State fair rep
resentation and insures a creditable
showing. Kansas should be so repre-
sented and 1t is fortunate that Governor
Leedy has been so successful in securing
the necessary funds.

cluded. No record can be found that the
Executive Council ever ordered that any
amount be paid on this second claim for
this work. The State Architect did not
approve such a voucher The payment

that the full bill OF extras had already
been paid directly to the contractors.
