WRESTLED WITH MAYOR.
A Commercial Agent From st. Paul
Complains of the Ordinances.

L. Carr of st. Paul, Mimi, who came
to Topeka to advertise a patent tug
buckle, designed to prevent the break
ing of heavy harness tugs, became
involved in a controversy with Mayor
Fellows Friday afternoon and emerged
from the mayors office declaring that
he was being deprived of his constitu-
tiOnal rights by a man who had no
judgment concerning public matters
and zone who is no credit to the city,
Mr.. Carr advertises the buckle but
does not sell it, referring prospective
purchasers to Oscar Krauss. Under
these circumstances a license is unnec-
essary. He talks buckle for half an
hour and free silver for an hour and a
half
Mr.. Fellows told him a permit would
be issued if Mr.. Krauss would furnish a
request by letter. To this Mr.. Carr
said:
Under what provisions of the con-
stitutiOn of the United States do you
ter from Mr.. Krauss ?''
AIr. Fellows then told Mr.. Carr a let
ter would be necessary and unless it
was forthcoming a permit would not be
issued.
That's a mighty poor system of do
ing public business" snapped Mr.. Carr
as he left the office.
Mr. Carr is the man who, wearing a
long fur Overcoat, and a big white SOM
brero, attracted attention on Kansas
avenue yesterday afternoon. He will
stay no longer in Topeka

OPPOSITION TO BossIsM.

The wave of opposition to the bosses
which has been sweeping over the coun-
try has touched Pennsylvania. 1t man
ifested itself last fall in the unusually
heavy vote polled for the prohibition
candidate for state treasurer, and it
was emphasized a few days ago when
John Wanamaker was called upon to
become a candidate for governor by
body of representative Republicans.
Hill, Brice and German have been
successfully disposed of. Platt is badly
crippled and now an attack is to be
made on Quay.
Pennsylvania has been for years one
Of the strongholds of bossism, ever
since the days of Simon Cameron. Com
menting on the Pennsylvania situation,
the Chicago Record says:
The people of Pennsylvania are es-
pecially partisan. Having been taught
for many years that the welfare of
the community depended upon the
maintenance of the policy of protect
ion, they have been lOath to do any
thing to weaken the Republican party.
AS a consequence the boss who could
control the Republican organization, was
assured cOntraI of the state. Quay has
ruled for years. His authority has been
absolute and disastrous to such an ex-
tent that the moral and political sense
of the people themselves was beginning
to become blunted.
Pennsylvania has been for years one
of the most hoDelessly bOss-ridden
states of the union. 1t has paid a Sc
we're penalty for it's blind devotion to
partisanship. But even there the revolt
is taking form and must succeed even
tually.
The state is best governed which can
never be safely depended upon to give
successive majorities for either party
unless it should be like Ohio, which
merely oscillates between the boss Of
one political faith and the boss of the
opposition.

Greenleaf, Feb. 1.-TWO walking ar
senals claiming to be from Oklahoma
and giving their names as Ross, prob
ably 80 and 35 years old, visited Green
leaf day or two ago. They were ca
sy to get acquainted, and soon they
were in game of billiards in the saloon
Of J. H. Stigge, where they made it
their home until it was time to close
for the night. About the time the pro-
prietor commenced turning out the
lights, one of them stepped back and
taking a revolver from his pocket COM
menced firing promiscuously around
the heads of the bystanders, and did
not let up until he discharged five shots
none of which hit any of those present
There was a great scramble for time
most all of them taking refuge under
the billiard tables or squatted down on
the HOOr and allowed the bullets to pass
over their heads. 1t was their intent
1on,no doubt, to scare all including the
proprietor out of the building and then
rob the money drawer, but as this
proved Intellectual they themselves beat
hasty retreat. An alarm was soon
once commenced searching for them.
One was found in the waiting room of
the depot, and the other had gone to the
hotel and went to bed. When arrested
and searched both of them had two re-
VolVers each, large number of cart
ridges and gun powder, and one had a
false mask concealed about him. They
were fined $25 each and costs. and refus-
ing to pay We're committed to jail.

Gentlemen-Having realized a bene-

Life is too short to waste one day Of
it sick abed, grumpy or ailing.
Indigestion, nervousness and rheuma-

take the heart out of work, and make

So
WOrn-out nerves bring on more i'll
health and disease than all other causes
put together. In their impoverished con-
ditiOn they cause the blood to become
thin, weaken the digestion and make
the heart work with difficulty. The
main factor in eradicating neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervousness, headaches
and sleeplessness from the system con-

SENDS CONSCIENCE MONEY.
Man Who Kills a Neighbor's Hog
Pays for Tt Twelve Years After.

The Eudora News says: One day,
ten or u years ago, when Mr.. J. D.
Moody, now of Hesper, resided in one
of the western Kansas counties, ,his hogs
broke out of their enclosure and wan
dered off into neighbor's pasture. La
ter in the day all came back excepting
one. and Moody noticing its absence,
started out to hunt it.
Meeting this neighbor into whose pas
ture the hogs had wandered, he asked
him concerning it, and was told that he
(the neighbor) had observed it going in
to a certain direction POinting that
Way).
Following the clue, Mr. Moody soon
came upon his hog, dead, or very near
so. The lack of positive proof deferred
Mr.. Moody from accusing his neighbor,
whom he believed to be guilty.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Moody receiv-
ed a letter from his neighbor, inquiring
his whereabouts, and stating that he
had been converted, and to answer at
once.
This Mr.. Moody did, and a few days
ago received a letter enclosing a $40 bill
asking him to accept it in payment of
the hog he had killed, in order that his
conscience might be cleared.

NEWTON WANTS MORE GAS.
Council Grants E. II. Hoag Franchise
for Further Prospecting.

Newton, Feb. 1.-THE city council has
granted F. H. Hoag of this city a fran
chise to lay mains for the piping OF nat
ural gas.
BY the provisions of the ordinance the
work of prospecting, which must be
satisfactory to the city council, must
begin within six months.
Two wells were sunk in this vicinity
some time ago, and gas was found. It
was found to be a good quantity of IL
Eliminating gas, but net in large quantl-
ties.
Mr.. Hoag says he will begin prospect
ing as soon as the weather gets warm
er, as there is no doubt in his mind but
that there is an abundance OF natural
gas in this vicinity. In his opinion the
wells drilled previous to this time have
not gone deep enough.

The present Governor of the Green
Mountain State, though born in Cana
da, has lived in Vermont since he was
6 years old. His course at the St.
JOhnsbury Academy was interrupted in
1861 by his enlisting in Co. I, 1st Yer
mont cavalry. He was mustered in as
second lieutenant, promoted to captain
the following year, and in 1864 made
major of the 26th New York cavalry.
Major GrOut participated in II en-
gagements, and was badly wounded in
a skirmish with the celebrated cOnfed-
crate leader, Mosby.
At the close of the war he entered the
law office of his brother, Gen. Grout, ard
was admitted to the bar. His service in
the Vermont legislature embraced the
years 1872, '83, 'S6 and '88. He was
Speaker of the House for three years
and senator in 1892.
Gov. Grout is deeply indebted to
Paine's celery compound for the good
health which he today enjoys: He ex-
presses his conviction of the value of
the great remedy in the following few
words:
