LOVELY NATURE DEPICTED

Tender and appreciative love of nature

that the reader finds in the short stories of

of tales in the authors best vein There
is a sweetness and charm in them that is
quite distinct from their high literary
merit. We feel that the author is writing
from the heart and from intimate knowl-
edge. There are no imaginary scenes, no
fictitious personages. The pages breathe
too plainly of the fields-the characters
talk too naturally.
Such a sketch, for instance as "Apple

government has developed considerable
interest in the shares of the company
which have been a prominent feature in
recent stock market operations. Var
ious committees have been authorized
by the security holders of the company,
which include the first mortgage, the
gold fives and stockholders represen-
tatives. Negotiations looking to a set
tlement of the question are in progress
with the government committee and in
some quarters it is expected that an
early solution of the matter will be
reached. The foreign stockholders COM
mittee is composed of two rival inter-
ests, the certificates of the Banbury
committee being actively dealt in on
the London exchange. The wide dis
parity in quotations of this stock in the
London and New York markets is due
in part to the fact that the foreign GER
tificates are not considered a good de-
livery on this exchange. Application to
list the certificates of the Banbury
committee, representing 100000 shares,
has been denied by the listing commit

STATE FAIR BILL,
As introduced, Leaves Much to the
Board of Agriculture.

The estate fair bill was introduced
into the house yesterday afternoon by
Representative Mason of Finney coun-
ty. 1t does not say that a state fair
must be held, but simply the state board
of agriculture may hold one, "at its dis
cretion.''
The measure gives the board the pow
er to lease grounds on which to hold
the exposition for a period not to ex-
coed ten years, and it appropriates $40,-
900 to be used in making up any deficit
which might arise in the first two fairs.
$4,000 of it to be available as soon as
the act is passed, and the balance to be
available July L, 1900. The state funds
are not to be drawn on, however, as
long as the board has any money in its
state fair fund.
It is claimed that the state fair cannot
be successfully run on what it receives
in the way of income, but that an ap-
preparation from the state is necessary.
The state fairs in the past have not
been financial successes, and on this
account they were abandoned.

The Right Remedy VIII
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.

all diseases of the blood, and promptly

SACRIFICED
THE LAW.
To Grammatical Construction
Is the Allegation
Made Against the Revision of
the Statutes Made
BY JUDGE w. C. WEBB.
ACCESSIBILITY of a New Revision
lis Under Discussion
Among Lawyers and Members
of the Legislature.

Talk which may result in the expend-
iture of $4,000 for a revision of the
Kansas statutes is going on among the
legislators and the suggestion is by no
means confined to one political party
Populists, Democrats and Republicans,
with one accord and in great numbers,
are criticising the revised statutes is
sued by the late. w. c. Webb of this
city and discussing the need OF having
the work again done.
Judge Webb was a stickler for gram
NAUTICAL construction and in the laws
which he revised he used a free hand IN
striking out badly constructed senten-
ceS and unintelligible clauses. This was
responsible for the death of many laws.
The legal phraseology was destroyed
and the value of the law also because
there are many of them in the statute
books which are now meaningless.
Again there were many laws in which
Judge Webb found whole paragraphs
which did not please him and with a
stroke of his pen, he knocked them out
of the statute books. Other cases have
been found where he omitted whole
lawyers and Judges, is now regarded as
practically Valueless. Hence, the talk
of having a new revision.
The law authorizing the revision of
the statutes provided that the judges of
the supreme court should certify as to
the legality and correctness of the vol
uneS prepared by Judge Webb, which
was done but lawyers believe in half
hearted way. The judges of the court
say, in a certificate in the first volume
of the statutes: I'VE have examined
this work as far as possible, without
neglecting our judicial duties and be-
Iieve the work was well and faithfully
done'' The judges insert a. few words
an the statement taking issue with the
action of the legislature in requiring
them to certify to the revision of the
statutes, saying: Although we do not
believe this is a task the legislature can
lawfully impose on u.s.
The revised statutes are evidently OF
no value to lawyers and judges because
they do not use them. Lawyers use the
old statutes up to the time from which
Judge Webb revised them and then re-
fer to the session laws enacted since
that time The fact is that the revised
statutes contain few laws as they were
originally enacted because Judge webb,
authorized to strike out obsolete and
redundant matter, did his work so well
there is little left.
Senators Farrelly and Crossan of the
senate judiciary committee say the re-
vised statutes are practically worth
less.
1t is said that the house and senate
judiciary committees will have joint
session soon to discuss the advisability
of authorizing a revision Of the laws
which will be of value.

STOWELL'S CONFESSIONIl
Still the SoSrce of Considerable Agita-
ton at the Reformatory.

There is quite a row at the Hutchinson
reformatory over the Chad StoweH con-
fession. The following dispatch from
Hutchinson appeared in a Kansas City pa
per:
1.-The visit of a staff correspondent to the
Hutchinson reformatory last week start

which has disclosed some remarkable
facts More than this, it has renewed an
old time rivalry between Superintendent
Case and Assistant Superintendent Hop

MIR. Case, superintendent of the reform

made by Charlie Stowell. the inmate whose
confession of participation in the Leeds
til his story failed to gain credence. in
which Stowell claims he was inundated
by Clarence Huff, clerk of the institution,
and Deputy Sheriff Williams of Topeka to
make the confession.
In the statement Stowel says that he

and Ike knew nothing whatever regarding
the robbery except what he read from
newspaper clippings furnished him by
HUFF.

into it by threats of being put into the
crib, which is the greatest punishment
that is administered at the refOrmat tory.

CORNER STONES"
Provided For and Protected by Sem
ator 4essin's Bill.

Throughout the state of Kansas there
is annually experienced much difficulty
in the location of section lines and cor
nerS because the marks put up by the
government have been destroyed. The
same fate has also overtaken corner
stones and monuments fixed by the
county surveyors and there are many
places in Shawnee county alone where
men do not know the boundaries of
their property because of this trouble.
Senator Hessin has introduced in the
senate a bill making it a, misdemeanor
punishable by fine of $50 and costs
for any person whatsoever to remove
or interfere with corner stone or mon
ument without first calling the county
surveyor. The bill also provides that
corners may be designated by a monu-
ment of stone fixed in coal or cinders,
or by an iron post, neither of which
shall prOtrude more than two inches
above the ground.
