A story on Joe Waters from the
Emporia Republican: Joe Waters
presence In town reminds the writer
OF an incident that occurred some
time ago in which he was the star
actor. Some old fellow living 10 the
southwest part Of the state got into a
scrap with a railroad conductor on
account Of the irregularity OF his
ticket. He lost a portion Of his
whiskers and was elected from the
train. He was so grieved over the
affair that he engaged Joe Waters as
his attorney to bring suit against the
road. Joe made up his suit and pre-.
sented 1t to Bailie Waggener, the at.
torney for the Missouri Pacific. Wag-
gener declared that he never heard of
the case and knew nothing about the
affair. But Waters pressed him so
closely that compromise of $500 was
finally agreed upon and paid. Joe
then wrote to his client, enclosing
half OF the sum received, saying that
he had settled with the Missouri
Pacific. His client wrote back that
he was satisfied with the amount re.
ceived, but 1t wasn't the Missouri
Pacific he was riding on, but branch
Of the Southern Kansas. Joe said the
road was guilty on general principles,
and never returned the money.

EAGER FOR KNOWLEDGE.

Access to the Congressional Library
at Night Appreciated by the Public.
Washington, Nov. 22.-The wisdom Of
throwing open the great library of con-
gress to the general public at night has
been proved by the results. The figures
for the number Of visitors for Novem-
Der show how eager the public is for
knowledge when 1t Is made available.
The number of visitors in the build
ing during the month was 71,623, an
average of 2,755 a day; of this number
80, 753 came between the hours of a. m
and o. m. and 80, $50 from to 10 p. m
This shows that from in the morning
to 4 in the afternoon, the old hours,
the average was 1872, while the visitors
who took advantage Of the night open
ing averaged l. 1862. There was of $40
The reading room during the month of
October supplied %. 767 books, an aver
age of 766 a day, from a. m. to 10 D.
m. This is an increase Of 366 over the
month of Septemb Der, when the reading
room was open from to 4. During the
month Of October the largest number
of readers in one day was 612 and in
TENDER. The average number of read
ers was 463, or an increase Of 309, or
nearly twice the number present on any
day during September. The figures
show that twice as many books were
served during the month of October as
in September, and also that during the
evening hours the many students took
books called for shows that study and
research rather than amusement was
sought during the new hours of access
to the library treasures.

PETTIGREW ON TRUSTS.
South Dakota Statesman Says "Arti
fetal PIutocracy" is the Question.

Chicago. Nov. 2-"Artificial Pluto
crazy" is what Senator r. F. Pettigrew
of South Dakota declares to be the
crying evil of the present moment, and
one which will soon dominate all other
public issues.
Il consider silver to be merely a col
lateral issue as compared with this all
important one" he said yesterday at
the Auditorium. 1.-The people are begin
ming to think more and more on this
matter, and I am persuaded the time is
not far distant when it will absorb
public attention to the exclusion of all
other questions. This is ceasing to be a
government of the people and is becom-
ing one of corporations and combines
which are becoming more and more
grasping in their demands. The recent
election in Michigan shows the drift
of public thought in this direction. Gov
ernor Pingree defied his own party, had
it leaders and all the corporations in the
state arrayed against him, and yet he
won by a phenCmenally large majority
It do not consider the results Of the
recent elections to mean that silver is
to be eliminated as an issue in 1900. 1t
was the war spirit that determined the
election because they considered it to be
a patriotic duty, and not because they
wished to register their opposition to
silver"

NOT FOREVER
Must the United States Occupy Cuba,
Says Gen. Garcia

New York Nov. 22.-Gen Calixto
Garcia and the other Cuban commits
siOners from the Cuban military assem-
bly, at Santa Cruz del Sur who are en-
route to Washington for the purpose
of laying before President Mckinley a
resolution adopted by the assembly as
to the future of the island of Cuba, ar
rived here on the Ward line steamer,
Seguranca.
Gen. Gersia and the commissioners
were given an enthusiastic welcome by
the members of the local branch of the
Cuban junta and many prominent Gu
bans.
Gen. Garcia, when seen on the steam
err seid:
two to see the president and after my
work in the United States is accom-
plished I will return to Cuba.
THE Cubans have no other feeling
for the Americans than those of friend
ship and gratitude. As for myself, be-
Heve in American occupation Of Cuba
until order has been restored. I believe
IN the United states having Cuba, but
not forever. I am for free Cuba, and
so are all other Cubans. There is no
sentiment on the island for annexation.
All Cubans have faith in Mr.. Mckinley.
The commission OF which am the
head is not going to Washington with
any propositions for the presidents
consideration We are going to tell of
the country and to better the arrange
ments for the disbanding of the troops,
collecting the custom duties and the
establishment Of pOStOffice system.
American occupancy is a necessity-but
not forever"
Gen. Gercia also said that at the as
sembly at Santa Cruz Del Sur, there
was the greatest spirit of unity shown.
Gen Garcia said that he was in SYM
pathy with Gen. Buffers plan to en-
ploy Cuban soldiers as police.
Il believe the plan is a good one" he
said. THE men could be under the d.
rection of Cuban colonies who reported
to the general.
THE present plan is to keep the Gu
ban soldiers under arms until the Amer
leans come into a district and then the
Cuban officer in the district will offer
the service of his men to the American
officer Those who are wanted are re
tanned by the American officer and the
others are sent home"
Gen. Garsia said he did not know
where the capital Of the island would
be situated. nor did he know when the
first presidential election will be held
He said the evacuation of the island
was progressing as slowly as the Span
iards can do it. They still hate to give
up their customs receipts"
He thought the stories of the trou-
bles with the Spanish soldiers owing to
their salaries being in arrears were
greatly exaggerated and that in time
whatever was due them would be paid.
Gen. Garcia said there was still great
suffering in the towns, the people lack
ing food and medicines. In the field.
however the men did not want as they
were supplied by voluntary contributions
from the people which were given in
spite of need.

Americans who were acting as officers
in the Cuban army and that he did not
know Gen. Gomez was unfriendly to the
Americans.

ment of Mr.. Uhrlaub. Mr.. Letter has the

an indemnity will be asked for by the
F'iIipinos, but it is believed the aggre-
gate claim will reach several hundred
thousand dollars.

and Mr.. Clarke has been greeted by
houses filled to their capacity, during
the recent two weeks run in that city.

is nothing said or done at any time to
offend the most faStdiOus. Such plays

has brought about him a very strong
supporting company and has elaborate

the many complications in which he

that he has won the admiration of both
the press and the public.

It has been seen here and made good
impression. The prices wiz be rs, so
