appointed Saturday to recommend GER
tain revisions in the schedule The
revisions suggested were accepted by
Mr.. Turner.
DEMONSTRATIONS of the schedule rules
by division officials and in some cases
by the men themselves have formed
the majority of complaints which have
come before the grievance committee
Tor the past seven years. During the
past three days the schedule has been
thoroughly discussed by the joint COM
mittee and few revisions recommend
ed which will be made by the company.
Now to prevent further trouble the eX-
act meaning of the different rules will
pc explained both to the division Off
Gals by Mr.. Turner, and the trainmen
by members of the committees.

friends in the state in favor of the
white metal. He waited for six weeks
after the convention adjourned at ST.
Louis before he announced his support
of Mckinley, and then did it in a ridic-
ulous and foolish speech in Rice county
that did us great harm throughout the
campaign. The battle in Kansas in
1886, however, was fought along honest
lines, sQGarely on the st. Louis plat
form, and although we increased our
vote until it was the greatest we had
polled since 1888, we lost the state by
a small majority, caused by number
of Republicans who had been pupils of
Senator ingalls, bOiting the party and
voting for free silver and Bryan.
Mr.. Burton and Mr.. ingalls, were the
recognized candidates for the senate
in the Republican party in the cam
paign of 1896. We lost the legislature,
but in the Republican caucus Burton
easily defeated Ingalls, in receiving the
caucus nomination. The secret of the
Vituperative utterances of Mr.. Ingalls,
against me lies in the fact that in 1897
in the caucus fight between him and
Mr.. Burton, I favored the latter, and
in this 1 only reflected the desire of
the Republicans of Kansas, for at no
time during the ballOting did his vote
exceed seven, and on the final ballot he
received only three out of so Repubi-
can votes.
If you ask me what has been the
great obstacle to rebuilding the Repub
Iican party in Kansas. my answer would
be-Ingalls. But he is now politically
dead, and everybody knows it. He is
like a venomous serpent that has re-
ceived it's death wound and hereafter
there will come from him only a hiss
now and then, and he will soon be for
gotten.
HE will wriggle around reporting
prize fights and splitting his venom oc-
casionally, but will not be able to sting
anybody except himself. Nothing is
left of his intellect save his immeas-
IRA BILE conceit and nothing of his heart
save the most bitter malevOlence. But
as 1 said, the party in Kansas is re
built on a solid foundation. Tt is loyal
to Republican principles. 1t is in splend-
id fighting trim. 1t will capture the
state this fall and not lose it again for
a oenaratiOn.''

CYRUS GETTING EVEN.
Leland Replies to the Ex-Sena-
tors Recent Remarks.
Attributes All the Woes of the
Party in Kansas to Ingalls,.
He Never Thought Much of Ingalls,
Anyway but the People Always
Seemed to Be Interested
in Him.

Mr.. Cyrus Leland, who is now in
Washington, has made the following
reply to the remarks of John ]. Ingalls,
recently published:
1.-The condition of the Republican
party in Kansas is all right. We are
in splendid fighting trim and will win
the state back this fall. Our vote has
increased at every election since 1890,
and we now have a clear majority of
the votes in Kansas. There are no
factions or internal dissensions of any
character in the party in the state. The
national administration is deservedly
popular. The people are prosperous
and POpulism is on the wane.
1.-The loss of the state in 1890 is at
tributable partly to the collapse of the
boom which struck us in 1889, but the

Santa Fe VIII Improve Its Y.
N. C. A. System.
An Extensive Building to Be
Erected at Argentine
TO COST THOUSANDS.
Newton, Chanu tie, Wellington,

Santa Fe VIII Adopt Schedule
Asked by Trainmen.

AS result of the tour of the national
railroad secretary over the Santa Fe
lines some months ago, extensive i'm
provements are to be made in the quar-
tiers of the Railroad Y. NJ. c. AS at
the different Santa Fe division points
this year.
These improvement will include the
erection of a handsome new building at
Argentine at cost Of several thousand
dollars. The association at Argentine
is one of the largest in the state, and
the present quarters are small and IN
suitable. A portion of the necessary
funds are already in the hands of the
treasurer of the association, and Cen
eral Manager J. J. Frey has notified
the officers that the deficit will be made
up by the company. This is carrying
out President Ripley's wishes in the
matter of aiding the Railroad Y. NJ. Q.
AS as much as possible.
Improvements at the quarters in
Topeka are already planned and i'm
prOvements will also be made at New
ton, Chanute, Wellington and Arkansas
City.
In all instances, if aid is absolutely
necessary to carry out the plans sue
cessfully, it will be furnished by the
company.

he came out from beneath the car in
the same manner that any other bum
would except except that he walked out
with his head in the air
1t appears that the rooster had gone
to sleep on the rod under the car while
it was standing in the yards, and when
the train started up it was afraid to
fly off, so it rode all the way to Well
ingtOn.
The bum was a bird in all senses of
the word and deserves the good feeding
he is receiving at Wellington. Buns
do not always get all they want to eat,
but this particular railroad bum gets
all he wants at any rate.
Mr.. Sargent thought he was entitled
to be fed and to be eaten, so he took
the feathered hummer home, and if
nothing happens he will grace Toms
board for some Sunday dinner.

WELL, WHO IS IT.?
Ohio Congressman Beats His
Wife in a Washington
Hotel.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Early this morn

hotels were startled by the screams of the
wife of an Ohio congressman. The pro-

breaking into the room. found the member
of congress beating his wife. With the
assistance of a couple of porters the
statesman was dragged into another room,
thrown upon bed and held until his an
ger had passed away. and then left lock
ed in the room. Today he received notice
that he must leave the hotel.
1t developed upon inquiry that for the
last two weeks, while the constituents
of this member of congress fondly be
lieved he was saving the nation. he had
been on a debauch, which ended in the
wife beating, of this morning. A physi-

badly injured that she could not be taken
to new quarters for two or three days.

The Federated Clubs of the city will

in the greatest perfection the works OF
the old masters of painting. Many IN
teresting facts might be given in re-
gard to the obstacles which were en-
cOuntered by Fraulein Stole IN her
wonderful undertaking, and her success
is overcoming them. But the most IN
teresting part of it all is the wonderful
result the reproductions themselves

TRAINMEN,s GRIEVANCES
Made Known to the Santa Fe-Mr.
Turner Accepts Schedule.

As the result of a conference between
a special committee of trainmen and Mr..
Avery Turner. assistant general super
intendent Of the Santa Fe, at Mr.. Tur-
ner's Office last Monday evening, steps
will be taken to prevent further trou-
BILE between the trainmen and the COM
pany on the matter of schedule rates.
Mr.. Turner will address a communi-
cation to each of the division superin-
tendents on the Santa Fe stating the
exact construction to be placed on the
different rules embodied in the sched-
ule which affect the service Of the
trainmen. The members of the two
grievance committees, now in session
in this city, will in turn explain the
constructions as agreed upon at the
meeting of the O. r. c. and B. of r. T.
divisions they represent. With a gen
eral understanding of this kind, it is
trouble in the future over the schedule
rules.

quoted against US during the entire
campaign by the enemy. This, of course,
hurt instead of helping US, so he had to
be retired from the campaign We lost
the state in 1892 by a close vote, and
ingalls, contributed more to our defeat
than any so POpulists in the state. 1t
was thought then that he would never
be q Republican any further.
In 1894, however, during which year
1 was chairman of the state central
committee, I discovered that he still
wanted to remain in the party and in
Dictated his willingness to help. We put
him on the stump, but his speeches
were so tainted with POpulism and 9TH
er un-Republican principles that he did
US more harm than good Notwith-
standing this, We carried the state that
year, electing our entire state ticket
and a Republican legislature, which in
1895 elected a Republican senator. In
gals had been a receptive candidate
throughout the entire contest, and his
name was formally placed before the
Repu blican caucus, but he received on
ly one vote. Immediately after the
election of Senator Baker, he openly an
nOunced his candidacy for the senate in
1896. During the year 1895, and up to
the time the national convention adj

addresses and interviews, ne emphatic
ally espOused the cause of free silver,
