STATE PAID FOR PRlVATEwORK

The Morrill, administration was a
thrifty one. It not only paid out State
money freely, but In many cases pay
ments were made which were clearly un-
authorized. This disposition pervaded
nearly all departments. Governor Nor
Eill set very bad example very early In
his administration. AS Is usual in such
cases the Governor has about as much
work to do prior to his Inauguration
as he has in the same length OF time
during his administration. Ii is custOm-
ary for the Governor and a force OF as
sistants to open an Office at the State
capital some weeks before his term be-
gins In order that the preliminary work
may be done more expedltiOusly Gov
ernor Morrill, did this and had assisting
him his future assistants, j. l.. BmatOW,
private secretary, Chaa. Hull and Miss
Kate Adams, stenOgraphers. It has al
ways been supposed to be customary to
pay these assistants for their ante-in-
auGural work out Of private funds, but
Governor Morrill,, although able to do so,
let the matter 90 until March, when he
gave each Of the three persons named
voucher against his contingent fund
for months time.
These vouchers were presented and
audited in March, 1895. One Is No. 12309
and Is for $6575. It is itemized as fol-
lows: Office supplies 1880, table $12,
room rent $1,000, telegraph "toles" 1891.
This was the expense account for operat-
ing the establishment where promises Of
places were made and advance distribu-
ton Of patronage was arranged. Another
voucher was No 1854. 1t was fled and
audited March Z, 1895, and was for

DIR. T1OrriSOn
Admits 1t.
The Ex-Penitentlary Doctor Returns
$500 to w. II. Shepherd In Lieu
of Pardon Money Sent Him.
HE'S A COnPANY DOCTOR NOW.

DR.. Morrison, the ex-penitentiary ply
sician, who got 500 from VIM. H. Shep-
herd, Of Berry Station, Ala, which It
was alleged was to be used In an effort
to secure q pardon for his son Claude
Shepherd, has again admitted that he
secured the money. Considerable infor-
nation was given relative to this affair
in recent issue of this paper. It was
shown that on Morrison's request Mr..
Shepherd sent 500 to him November rs,
1896, that Mr.. Shepherd sent 1t upon the
doctors promise that he would use 1t to
get his son, who was dying, out Of the
penitentiary in order that he might have
a mothers care in his last days, and
that none of the money would be used
except for this purpose. Nothing was
done about the matter, though, so far
as the records examined disclose, and
on May 26, 1897, Claude Shepherd died
in the penitentiary. After his death his
father wrote to DR.. Morrison explaining
that he had borrowed the money, that
he was hard pressed financially and that
he wanted 1t back, and he received let
ter in reply In which the debt was ac
knOwledged and promise OF payment by
note was made and that when Mr.. Shep-
herd sent a note to be signed he never re-
ceived a reply until very recently.
Shortly after the Advocate and News
published these facts, reproducing the
correspondence in full, DR., Morrison sent
Mr.. Shepherd note for $100, thus ac-
knowledging the truth Of the charges.
The note was refused, Mr. Shepherd TAX
ing the position that the money was sent
to defray expense in securing the pardon,
that he was promised by DR.. Morrison
that not a cent of the money would be
touched except as 1t was needed to push
the pardon matter and that he now wants
something more substantial and valuable
than mere personal note. He was
bright enough to know that a payment
Of a note could be evaded with ease and
that as the matter now stands 1t Is case
of the misuse Of funds entrusted to him
for a specific purpose which Is not such
thing as will permit of an easy-going,
clear conscience. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Shepherd will get his money back
eventually and that the future history
Of the Kansas penitentiary will disclose
no more such disgraceful affairs as this.
1t is quite certain that as long as the
institution Is in the hands OF Populists
that nothing of the kind will occur.
Dr. Morrison went to Pittsburg when
his Populist successor took charge, and
is now moving to the Indian Territory,
where he will become the company doc
tor for a lumber concern. A reference
to the articles on Kansas miners, which
have appeared in these columns will give
an idea of what are the duties of company
doctors and how DR.. Morrison will not
be much Of am improvement over the
average of those who fill these places.

shows that this feeling has not arisen
recently. He is probably the easiest man
to beat who could have been nominated,
and Mr.. Rldgely will have an easy time
securing a reelection.

TAILOR GOWNS.
New Effects Seen at the Recent New
York Horse show.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The tailor gowns at the horse show were
very simple in design. The skirts all walk
ing iength-that is, just clearing the
ground. They are made in three or four
different styles. One style is a circular
skirt fastened in front, fitting like a glove
over the hips, and with the fulness fiaring
out around the foot This skirt is worn
with the three~quarter-lengt coat made
like the mems frCck coats. but tight-htting

or small buttons. The side pieces are put

sleeves are quite small, but cut SO that they
stand out from the shoulder. The fullness

belt fastening under the front of the waist

beautiful and cut so low that as the wearer
sat in her box it had the effect of a white
lace waist. But when She moved about the
lace was discovered to be merely a very
deep yoke set onto an amethyst princess
gown. An amethyst toque with a knot of
white completed this effective frock. which
was not so far beyond the purse of an en-
terprising woman of small means. For the
amount of velvet needed was not great on
account of the great depth of the yoke.
And in almost every family there is some
good and fine lace which will make yoke
and sleeves.
The princess gown calls for cape There
fore the cape is the wrap of the hour. A
handsome fur cape is so suitable that one
n cessity and should be bestowed upon every
woman by her LOVING and adlaring family.
Amethyst velvet seemed a favorite cape
material And automobile, the new red
which one often sees described as magenta
was made up into one or two of the most
striking capes seen. All these capes were
very short in front, and many of them were
quite tnree-quarter length in the back. The
ripple was a feature of many of them and
whether rippled at the edges or not, they
were very full At night there were many
red cloth capes, all of these very long in
the back and generally trimmed with some
sort of fur. In fact, fur a trimming for
capes was universal. Chinchilla was the ia
Vorite and sable and stone marten were
most effective At night chinchilla gave
way to ermine and that royal fur was SO
cherished by its lucky owners that even
muHs were brought forth, although the
weather does not at present excuse their
use.
Although 1t is quite obvious that with
long trailing gowns and princess effects
jackets are not suitable wraps, yet horse
show week brought out some biscuit-col-
ored ulsters. and one or two listers Of dark
cloth, which seemed to be most cherished
by their owners, for they were worn from
morn till dewy eve, and there did not al
ways seem to be a sense of the want of
fitness between an elaborate gown and a

danger that the briliancy of the social side
of the gathering would quite eclipse the
serious and business-lke purpose of the
founders of the National Horse Show Asso-

at minimum, and although no daughter
OF Eve could spend even hour inside the
doors of the Garden without imbihing sar-
