was reached. Mr.. JaquinS asked where
the state intended to get the money for
the appropriation.
Captain Seaton took the floor and said
it would be very easy for the legisla-
ture to authorize the issue of bonds
necessary, and he did not doubt that
the plant itself would pay the bonds in
a few years.
However, the question furnished
pretext for objecting to the measure
and several members made speeches
against appropriating money when the
treasury was empty.
Several Intellectual attempts were
made to refer the bill to the ways and

was made to refer it to a special COM

down.

HIGH POST FOR CURTIS.
Representative Curtis to Be the Next
Chairman of Indian Affairs.
TFrom the New York SUM

[From the New York Sun.1
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE retirement
of Representative Sherman of New
York, who is to become one of the board
of general appraisers at the close of
this session, will create a vacancy in
the craftsmanship of the house commit
tee on Indian affairs. His probable sue
cessor is Representative Curtis of Kan
6aS, who has Indian blood in his veins.
Mr.. Curtis is descendant of the
kansas tribe which once owned almost
the entire state of Kansas, but has now
dwindled until it is no longer of inn
portance. The tribe owns about 200, 900
acres of good grass lands and has $780,,
600 in the United States treasury, the
total income being about $4,000 a year,
of which Representative Curtis draws
his share. He does not resemble his
Indian ancestors except in his coal
black hair and eyes and his bronzed
complexion He was born in North To-
pe1a, Shawnee county, Kan. in 1860,
was admitted to the bar in 1881 and
elected county attorney in 1884. Since
then he has been in public life, having
been reelected county attorney and
been selected to the Fifty third, the
Fifty-fourth, the Fifty-fifth and the
Fifty-sixth congresses. Mr.. Curtis is
ranking member of the committee on
Indian affairs.

WORDS OF WARNING
And of Wisdom by Senator Hessin
About the TWine Plant

Senator John E. Hessin is very anxious
to so frame the laws for the regulation
of the state binding twine plant, that
10 will be impossible for the trust" to
corner the output and defeat the pur-
pose of the new enterprise.
II want to tell you," said Mr.. Hessin,
that these trusts are bad medicine to
handle. My brother was engaged with
me back in Indiana, in the manufacture
of bagging and the trust came to see
us. We were doing business only in a
small way, but the trust paid us $4,000
a year to stand idle.
I'VE simply creased our machinery
regularly and let it stand idle, drawing
from the trust over Sc, 900 per year
Money and brains will accomplish any
thing here below, and if we undertake
to make this new venture a success, we
must go at it in businesslize way, eX-
erciSing great care in the beginning.
lone of the important matters to be
considered in connection with this mat
ter, is the management of the peniten-
tiary which will, of course, be RESPONSE
BILE for the management of the twine
plant. We must have a man of business
force and character. When the warden
of the Minnesota penitentiary had made
a success of the plant there, at a salary
of s., 500 per year. the state of Connecti-
cut offered him $5, 900 to take charge of
the penitentiary there. The governor
of Minnesota, the legislature being in
session, Immediately raised the warden's
salary to $4,000 and he did not leave"
Here Mr.. Hessin looked around at his
fellow-senators who were listening to
him, then said:
Unless, judging by the past. we have
a change in our own state for the bet
ter, and get some sound business sense
to govern our institution, the twine
plant will fail as the management has
failed. Therefore, he said I'VE must
look carefully upon all sides of this
question.
I'VE can not, 1 feel confident, get the
kind of men we should have at $500 a
year, so 1 urge upon all of you to con-
slider well all these features
The establishment of the twine plant
at Lansing will create one or two addi-
tional positions to become the football
of politics under the ignorant and par
tisan plan we now run state institutions.

in which Tom Anderson is said to have
received a reprimand from Senator
Ryan. has leaked out since the execu-
tive session of the senate has gone into
history.
Senator Field opposed the confirma-
ton of Kelly, but one of the latter's
friends said Kelly is an old soldier and
was appointed on account of his special
fitness for the place.
To this Senator Tom Anderson replied
by saying:
Mr.. Kelly is appointed as a special
concession from Governor Stanley to
Cy Leland, and that's all there is to it,
Kelly was first confirmed for two
months, an unexpired term. But he was
reappointed and confirmed in open SEN
ate late yesterday afternoon for the reg
ulaF term of two years.
Senator Anderson voted for his con-
f1rmation in both instances.
After Anderson explained that Kelly
was Leland's man, Senator Ryan Pop.)
said:
Il should say that if the Republican
party in Kansas owes one man any
thing it certainly owes more to Cy Le-
land than anyone else, and I'm for
Kelly on this account Kelly was then
confirmed.

LIVESTOCK LOSSES
In Colorado From the Storm Estimat-
ed at 100000.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 1S.-The estimate
of losses to the cattle and sheep in this
state caused by the recent storms in
Colorado made by States Veterinarian
Charles Gresswel, based on reports re-
ceived during the past week, reaches a
total Of 5000, 900. He figures that 4,200
head of cattle have succumbed to ex-
posure by the heavy storms on the open
ranges which were continuous for near
ay month. In addition to this he
places the losses to the sheep industry
at 37,500 head. Mr.. Gresswell is also in
receipt of information to the effect that
large number of sheep and cattle were
killed In Wyoming and northern New
Mexico at the same time but he has no
data from which to base an estimate.

Pete Gregory Rises in Defense of the
Much Abused County ATTORNEY.

Mr.. Gregory of Usage is the champion
of county attorneys in the house. While
the question of the fees of county attor-
neys was under consideration when the
fee and salary bill was up Friday even
ing Mr.. Gregory said:
IF there is an abused official in the
state of Kansas it is the county attor-
ney. He is looked upon with suspicion
by every one. He is cussed if he does,
and he's cussed if he don't. No one is
his friend. His wife don't think as
much of him after his term as she did
before on account of all the mean things
she has heard people say about him.
Not a railroad in Kansas will give him
a pass. No one has good word for
him. L was county attorney once my
self, and I know what 1 am talking
about. My own people would hardly
speak to me, and when they did it was
only from pity. His only hope is that
he will make good prosecutor, SO that
when he is through people will employ
him in their law suits. 1 am in favor
of giving him a good salary
