or the applicant, it was submitted to
the chief justice presiding. He ordered
report of the facts to be made up and
sent to the full court, for a decision by
that body, of the question whether the

The Piece Was a Disappointment to

was not as good as when seen here early
in the season last year
1.-THE Brownies this year had one at
tractive feature which it did not have
here last year, and that was Palmer Coz
himself. Mr. Cox appeared on the stage
just before the last act and drew a pic
ture of an original Brownie three feet
in height. The ctiveness of this
feature lay in the fact that the people
wanted to see what Palmer Cox looked
like, and during his stay on the stage
they had time to make a short study OF
the man who created a new world for
American children.

CLEMENS WANTS HARMONY.
Willing to Sacrifice Every Office But
His Own to Get It.

G. c. Clemens has issued a satirical
document in which he declares himself in
favor of fusion and suggests that the
places held by Governor Leedy and Attor-
ney General Boyle be given to the Demo-
Gratis. Clemens says:
81 am henceforth in the political nata-
torium 1 am fusionist. Until recently
I had been under the absurd delusion that
it would really make some difference to
the people whether the men elected to
state offices were POpulists or Democrats
I cannot imagine where my intellect got
that cockle-burr stuck to my trousers. 1t
seems ludicrous now. yet once really
believed it. I have also learned that
union of forces is the one grand consum-
nation which the Populsts should strug-
gle to achieve. Reform principles are well
enough in their way, but perish reform
principles rather than that we should fail
to effect a union of reform forces Reform
principles have no votes. Reform forces
can elect somebody I cannot cease Won
dering that I have been too stupid to see
all this before.
IF we do not have harmony it is our
own fault have not discussed the mat
ter with Messrs. Atwood, Johnson and
Love, and of course 1 cannot speak with
authority; but, knowing the amiable char
acter of the gentlemen, feel confident
that if we would give up our party as
well as our offices. and throw in a few
other trinkets, the Democratic party
would be perfectly willing to harmonic
with us-at least, during the present year.
At any rate, now that I have become
fusionist, I am not going to be a luke
warm one I shall go into it with my
whole heart and stuff it into everything
to be found in the state house want
the Democrats to be satisfied We must
have harmony, if it turns the old time
Populists into a furious mob

BOYLE FEELS SURE.
Thinks There is No Escape For the
Stockyards Company.

Kansas City, Jan. 10.-AttOrney Gen
eral Boyle of Kansas was in Kansas
City Saturday. In speaking of the re-
cent transfer of part of the Kansas City
stock yards business to the Missouri
side of the line, the attorney general
said: Il have no idea as to the pur-
pose of the company in making this
move. 1t cannot evade the Kansas
law, because it is chartered under the
laws of Kansas. It might give up its
charter and seek a charter in Missouri,
but if it did it would have to keep many
of the cattle it handles on the Kansas
side of the line. And Kansas laws
would govern there. If the supreme
court uphOlds the Kansas law, howev-
er, do not for a moment believe that
the company would dare to attempt to
escape its provisions on any technical
ity. If the court of last resort uphOIds
the law I do not think that the COM
pany would gain anything by moving
into Missouri, for nothing on earth
could then prevent the next legislature
of Missouri from passing a similar
law "

RAINSFORD Is SKEPTIC.
Bible Not Infallible, He Says, and the
Church and Churchmen Are
Not Perfect

New York, Jan. 10.-In the course of
his annual address to men the Rev. Dr.
William S. Rainsford, rector of st.
Georges church, took occasion more
than once to deny the infallibility of
the Bible. He also asserted that the
churches were not what they ought to
be, and that clergymen were guilty of
many shortcomings and weaknesses.
DIR. RainsfOrd said that for several
years it had been his custom to have a
plain talk with the men of his congre-
cation and the men of New York on the
first Sunday of the new year.
Tonight said he, Il want to ask
you men to associate, and I want to
ask you to associate in the church.
Outside the church men are judged for
what they have.
In the church, however and in the
church alone, you are judged for what
you are Come to the church, there
fore, and then bring others in.
I'VE can't give you everything if you
come, but We can give you something
We can't give you an infallible church
because the churches are far from what
they ought to be. We can't give you
infallible ministers, because ministers
have many weaknesses and shortcom-
ings. We cannot give you an infallI-
bic Bible, for the Bible is not an infal-
lible book, but we can give you light
unto your feet and a hope for your
liVeS.'

ment will visit Montreal, Quebec and
other Canadian cities and towns. AZ
ter making a tour of the dominion it
will enter the United States through
Vermont to Boston, and thence to
New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Buffalo and other eastern cities. The
troop will be absent from Chicago
more than a fortnight and will make
the trip entirely at its own expense
Incidentally Secretary Gage of the
treasury department has a good deal
to do with arranging for the trip
through Canada, though the formal
correspondence on that subject was
left to the state department and the
British embassy.
Mr.. Gage was at one time treasurer
of the First regiment and has always
been highly regarded by it's officers and
men.
Col Henry L. Turner, commanding
the regiment, addressed letter to
Secretary Gage in November asking
him to obtain permission from the Ca
madam authorities for the Illinois sol
diers to pass through Canada bearing
arms in July.
Mr. Gage forwarded Col. Turner's
letter to the secretary of state, who in
closed it with a formal request to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, asking that the necessary per-
mission be obtained, if possible, from
the Canadian authorities.
Sir Julian transmitted the entire cor
respondence to the governor general of
Canada and under date of Jan. he no
titled Secretary Sherman that the re-
Spouse was favorable.

CASTS OF PUEBLO INDIANS
Made From Life to Be Exhibited in a.
Chicago Museum.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The Field Column
bian museum is to have the only series
of authentic casts of the Pueblo people
in existence. There are a few casts
made from negroes and pictures at
Washington and European museums
as well as a very few authentic casts.
but it has been most difficult to get
casts of this strange people from the
life The casts that are to be set up
in the Field museum We're made in the
last month under the direction of Geo
A. Dorsey, curator of the museum, and
by F. B. Melville, the sculptor who
has done the same kind of work under
Prof Starr.
These two have made their trip to
the Pueblo village of Oraibi. in the
western Mesais of Arizona, and against
many odds have brought away the
casts and the properties for making a
most remarkable display of the Pueb-
los. The figure include a weaver, two
women grinding corn, a bread maker,
potter, boomerang thrower snake
dance figures, bride and two katcina
figures
The men, women and children from
whom the casts were made in almost
every case sold the clothes which they
wore to the scientists, and the figures
will be CARRIED in these when they are
ready for exhibition.

CANDIDATES NUMBER %.
One From Each County in the Sixth
Congressional District.

There are % counties in the Sixth
congressional district and the indica-
tions are that each county will have
candidate for congress this year. This
district is the only one which has sent
a Populist representative to congress
continuously since 1890, the year in
which POpulism swept Kansas.
One objection made to Congressman
Mccormick is that he is a poser" He
is a distinguished looking man. There
is no question or disagreement on this
point Otherwise he appears to have
done little.
The old soldiers of the district are in
dignant at Mccormick because they
say he pretends to be a veteran of the
late war, and examinations of the rec
ords of the war department at Wash
iagton fail to show that he had any
connection with it.
The following is a list of the candi-
dates;
Senator William Helm, of Ellsworth
county.
Representative John J. Lambert, of
Lincoln.
Ex-County superintendent A. 7. Biggs
of Lincoln county.
S. p. DinsmoOre, of Russell.
Ex-Clerk Harry Gray, of Osborn.

THE GIRLS ALL KISS HIM.
How the Topeka Minstrel of the
Brownies Was Received.

Brownies Was Received.
The journey of the former Kansas boys,
Messrs. Newhouse & Bunts, 1.-THE Wan
dering Minstrels'' with the Brownie COM
pany, from Leavenworth to Topeka Sat
urday was kind of small ovation.
When Lawrence was reached there was
a, gay crowd of young ladies to meet
James Newhouse and to welcome his re-
turn to his old home and to bid him good
bye when the train left. Newhouse was
surrounded by at least dozen girls. The
stop short, and when Mr.. Newhouse
swung himself aboard there was a per-
feet cloud of white handkerchief waved
in his honor
THAT is the kind of a reception to GET
said the senior member to the junior
member, as they settled themselves in
their seats and continued the journey to
Topeka. Every one in the company had
something to say about the affair and Mr..
Newhouse was greatly elated over the
stir he had caused in Lawrence.
How would you like to be received in
that way?' said Newhouse to Bunts.
First rate said Bunts.
Clarence Bunts used to live in Topeka
and his many friends. mostly young ladies,
We're assembled at the depot long before
the train arrived. When the train ap-
peared rounding the curve there was a
hutter in more than one heart, and when
Bunts stuck his head out of the window
there was a waving of handkerehiefs just
as there had been at Lawrence. In one
hand Bunts carried his large concert gui-
tar and in the other bunch of canes and
umbrellas. The crowd to welcome him
were at the west end of the platform, and
when the train stopped the special car
that contained 1.-The Brownies was at
the extreme east of the platform Then
there was a race to see who would get
there first. The crowd of pretty brunettes
and blends rushed frantically down the
platform. Before the train stopped Bunts
swung off and rushed up the platform to
meet the coming crowd. He expected a
warm welcome but he did not expect to
have as warm welcome as he received.
The first to reach him threw her arms
around his neck and kissed him, once,
twice, three times and only stopped when
she was pushed aside by another who was
waiting wait a minute" said Bunts.
He laid his guitar down and leaned the
canes up against a post, and, stretching
out his arms, called Next" Newhouse
looked on for minute, and taking blue
ribbon from his pocket tied it on Bunts'
lapel The ribbon had "Pabst'' on it in
large letters, but that made no differ
ence.
