A BLOW AT LABOR.
House Refuses to Consider Measures
Asked For Laboring and
Stock Men.

The house has declined to advance
any senate bills except those that are
recommended by a majority of the COM
mittee on revision of the calendar.
Mr.. Fairchild, the only Populist on
the revision committee, late yesterday
afternoon presented a minority report
advising that three bills be added to
the list reported for advancement by the
ma jority of the committee.
The first bill was the track scale bill,
which was passed by the Legislature of
1898. but which proved useless on ac-
count of a defective title. The shippers
of the state have asked that it be re-
enacted. The second bill was the anti
spotter bill, in the interest of railroad
men, and the third was the Ravens
craft live stock bill for the regulation
of commission men.
The house adopted the report of the
majority, and then turned it's attention
to the minority report. Mr.. Fairchild
explained that the three bills which he
recommended had been asked by the
stock men and laboring men of the
state, and as the bills had passed the
senate the house ought to at least con-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-03-03
WILL USE A HOE.
State House Janitors Must Earn
Their Paw.

The senate has passed the bill to
abolish the office of superintendent of
the state house grounds, also the posi-
ton of supervisor of janitors, substi-
tuting therefor a custodian who shall
have charge of the work now done by
the two men, at a salary of 81 200 per
year.
The custodian is to have charge of
the building and grounds and the jan
itors shall be required to work outside
on the grounds, when not otherwise en-
gagged.
The senate was greatly amused by
Senator Jumpers "joshing'' of the bill.
Mr. Titus offered an amendment to in
sert Topeka preceding the word cap
itol. This made Jumper feel funny. He
strol<ed his chin as he arose with a
laugh and said:
why, Mr.. President, I thought this
was the capitol of the whole state and
the capitol of Topeka. 1 am surprised
Harper should be taken seriously on
this proposition" Mr.. Jumper bur-
lesqued the bill, urging that it is inhu-
man Ito ask one poor man to work him.
self to death at 500 a month. It's a
shame, say exclaimed Jumper.
Consent" came from a dozen mem
bers.
"All right" said Jumper, as he sat
down.
The bill was then passed, Mr.. Jump
er alone voting against it.
So when the gentle spring comes, if
the house does not interpose its object
ing power, the state house janitors will
hang up their brooms and mopS and
sally forth, armed with hoes, to slay the
innocent weeds sprouting in the state
house grounds.

GILLETT TO STAY.
Will Not Return to Kansas to Live
Until He Can Pay His Debts.

Abilene, March Sd. w. NALL, ex-
deputy warden of the state penitentiary
who was close to G.. G. Gillett in his
deals of the last year of his operations,
has just returned from Chihuahua,
Mexico, where he has been to see the
eXiled plunger. He probably speaks
more authoritatively for Gillett than
Il saw Gillett and his wife and spent
four days with them. They have COM
Portable rooms in the Hotel PalaclO and
are well, but would both be glad to re-
occupy their home at WOOdblne. Gillett
says that he expects to return to Kan
sas only for the purpose of attending
to some business matters and Mrs. Gill
lett will return to their home at Wood
bine within a short time.
"Gillett says he has determined to
make money enough to pay all his liza
bilities, and he believes that he can do
1t more quickly in Mexico than he could
in the United States. From my talk
with him 1 infer that he is too proud to
return to Kansas for the purpose of
making this his home until he shall be
able to pay his debts, but when the time
comes that he can do so, nothing would
keep him away from this state.
He has completed no arrangements
for business, but has several PROPOSE
tiOns pending which, if contaminated.
promise to be very profitable. His
chances are some what interfered with
by the false representations given out
in regard to what he is doing and what
he can do at Chihuahua. The idea that
