in Topeka, is very hopeful Of salts
factory outcome of tue fight. FUrney
WAS duwned in@ne of his preliminary
skiTnishes with Hanna, but that is
not an indication Of the strength Of
the two men in the senate. Hanna is
very much in diSlayor with his cJi-
leagues, because OF bis work against
the supplemental railroad bill. The
senate voted to reinstate Hanna
because it believed his resignation,
which was given cOnditi0nally, had
been taken advantage Of by his enc
mics, and for the purpose Of taking a
slap at Lee1y as much as anything
else. When Hanna'S public career
WAS hanging 10 the balance, F0TEeY,
through his zeal for Sumner county,
rushed in and joined the forces 0, The
administration to keep Hanna cut. a
caucus Of senators was called, aud
Forney joined Senator George Camp
bell Of Labette, in demanding that
Hanna be expelled from the senate.
IN the meanwhile Hanna had sounded
the other senators and secured
pledges from enough Of theE to insure
his success in retaining his seat.
When FOrney saw that he was beaten
he arose from his seat when the reSo-
luton recognizing Hanna was intro
duced, and left the room rather than
stay. Campbell, the leader Of the
anti-Hanna forces, made peace with
Hanna after the resolution was
adopted, and it is related that Hanna
has promised Campbell the Clay
county delegation for his vote on the
insane asylum question. Meanwhile
FOrney and his crowd are working
trying to pull votes for Wellington.

Story Of Alleged Cruelty to a Mother by
Her Children in Wellington.


A Kansas City paper Saturday
prints the following story Of cruelty
of children, said to live in Wellington,
toward their mother:
"a sad story Of filial ingratitude
was toiG to Depot MatrOn Shull by
Anna Graham, an old woman who
arrived Friday from Wellington,
Kan, She said her children, living at
Wellington, had refused to provide
for her and had driven her from home
without money to meet her immed-
late wants. They bought her ticket
to Kansas City and put her on board
the JraiD Thursday night. The case
will he investigated by the Provident
association"
The Kansas City paper evidently
cOnfOunds Wellington with Winfield.
There are no flial ingrates of that
stamp in Wellington.

The Insane Asylum.

Daily Journal, saturday.
Clay Center is again in the fight for
the location of new insane asylum.
The reinstatement Of Senator Hanna,
whose resignation was noted in the
Journal few days ago, changes the
situation somewhat. Junction City
will not be much Of a factor in the
contest. Two bills will be introduced
in the senate Monday, one by Senator
Forney providing that a new asylum
be located at Wellington, and one by
Senator Hanna of Clay county, pro-
siding that the asylum be located at
Clay Center. The matter may be
settled next week.
From present indications the con.
test over the location OF the asylum
will be one of the prettiest fights the
senate is likely to engage in, because
of the rivalry between Senators For
ney and HaLna. The matter has
gotten into politics, and it cannot be
remedied now. The fate of yelling
ton rests with the enateand FOrney's s
ability to down the man from Clay
county. 1t is safe to say that the
house is in sympathy with Yelling
ton.
