It transpires that Mrs ". Eugene
Stanley, wife of the governor, has an
nuaI passes over every railroad in Kan
sas. Coming up from Wichita to To-
peka the other day she changed cars
at Newton, and in the sh7ffle she lost
her pocketbOok. 1t contained SO In
change beside the passes, and Mrs.
Stanley advertises that anyone return
ing the passes may keep the change.
When John ". Leedy was governor
he declined to accept passes and paid
full fare on all the railroads. None of
his office force was allowed to accept
free transportation. Leedy's successor
not only takes all the passes he can
get for himself, but procures them for
Mrs. Stanley. The children have not
lost their pocketbooks yet, and it is
uncertain whether they have passes or
not.

BLIZZARD HEARD FROM.
1t Is at Cheyenne and Sweep
ing Eastward.

Denver, March 10.-A special to the
Times from Cheyenne. Wyo., says:
One Of the worst storms of the season
is ranging here today. Stockmen say
this blizzard, following the extremely
severe weather of the past six weeks,
will undoubtedly cause heavy losses in
cattle and sheep. OF the range stock,
some estimate the loss as high as so
per cent, but with stock growers who
still have hay and feed and shelter for
their herds, the loss will not exceed 10
per cent.
The snow is drifting badly and all
trains are belated. The Cheyenne and
Northern train from the north now Is
days over due when last heard from
was near Iron Mountain station. There
are AZ passengers on this train. They
were nearly out of provisions, having
bought all the ranchmen could spare,
and had resorted to slaughtering range
cattle. Many efforts have been made to
send out relief expeditions, but all were
obliged to return for additional help on
account of the extreme deep snow
drifts encountered.

STANDS UPFOR M'NALL
r. = Cofran Gives His Opinion of the
Proposed InVestig alton.

While Webb McNan has made enc
mics among Insurance men and politi-
clans by his method of conducting the
insurance department, he has made
many friends among those who have to
pay for insurance. One of these latter
is Mr.. r. L. Cofran, proprietor of the
Western Foundry.
'McNaIl has done more for the peo-
pie of Kansas" said Mr.. Cofran to a.
Journal reporter, than all his prede
cessors who have ever occupied that
Office. He has brought the insurance
companies to time and made them obey
The laws, which no one else ever did.
and he has saved the people of the
state a great deal of money. I know
personally that he has reduced insur-
ance rates here in Topeka, because be-
fore he went into office paid a rate of
S1.75 for inSuring my plant, and now 1
only pay $1.50. all because he broke up
the insurance combination. And I
know of a great many other business
enterprises on which there has been the
same saving made.
Il never saw the man in my life, and
would not know him if I did see him;
but 1 am in favor of giving him credit
for what he has done. He looked after
the interests of the widow and orphan,
and has made the insurance companies
come to time, instead of invoking the
law to help the insurance companies
defraud the helpless as some of his
predecessors have done.
Now, / see that he is to be inves-
tigated and put out of office for doing
that very thing. OF course he will have
to go out of office but the idea of their
firing him because he stood up for the
people against the insurance companies
makes me boil. 1t will be long time
before we get another such Superin-
tendent as McNal1.'

The Indiana legislature has enacted a
law legalizing the use of voting ma
chimes. The Indianapolis News says in
regard to it:
This is entirely in the interest Of hon
est elections. We have learned in In
diana that it is possible to beat even
the Australian system But it is diff
cult to see how the most ingenious cor
ruptionist can successfully tamper with
the machines. Under the new system
the voting will be absolutely secret, au-
tomato and without even a hint of how
the citizens vote. Moreover, as each
vote is registered the count is made, and
when the voting is over the result is
given instantaneously. The change is
also in the interest of economy
A law was also passed placing JUS
tees of the peace on salaries.

STAMPEDE AT
SHAWNEETOWN.
TheIllinOis Town Again Threat
ened With Destruction.
Catastrophe Like That of Last
Year is Imminent.
THE LEVEE is WEAK.
A Break Is Liable to Occur at
Any Time.
Residents Are Moving Out as
Rapidly as Possible.

Shawneetown, Ill, March 10.-This
city is threatened with another flood
similar to the one which almost swept
the town year ago. The residents are
moving out as rapidly as possible and
all the livestock has been removed. The
levee is thought to be weak in some
places and a break is liable to occur
at any time. Many men are patrolling
the levee. Business is suspended and
the citizens who remain are in constant
fear of being swept away. Last April
the levee broke without warning.
Twenty-Five people were drowned and
many residences and business houses
destroyed. The town has been practi-
cally rebuilt, and should another food
occur the loss would be tremendous.

ADVANTAGES OF MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP.

John c. Chase, the recently elected So
cialist mayor of Haverhin, Mass, writes
to the Boston Globe concerning the
basis of the faith that is in him, as
follows:
The advantages of municipal owner
ship are too numerous to be fully enum-
Grated in the short article to which I am
limited, yet some of them, which I con-
slider important, L will briefly touch
upon.
One great advantage of municipal
ownership is the minimizing of cOrrup-
ton. Whenever a franchise is granted
TO corporation, such corporation from
that moment becomes a menace to pure
politics and good government. 1t is
much more convenient in many cases
for a corporation to influence a major
ity of any city government than it is
to live up to the terms of it's franchise
Under municipal ownership there would
be no need of special privileges, and
none sought after, therefore corruption
would disappear
The question of profit would be elm
mated. and instead of profits being the
aim, we would at all times be striving
for better service.
The condition of labor would be i'm
proved, wages advanced, rates reduced
and taxes lessened.
From statistics gathered by Prof Ely,
it is shown that there is a saving under
public ownership of from 100 to 800 per
cent If 1t be true that the welfare of
the whole people is greater than that
of q few, then it surely should be our
DUTY to strive for municipal ownership
of all public utilities, in order that this
saving should go into the public treas
ury for the benefit of all. To accom-
plish this. we must have the public
mind educated to this idea The mo-
ment that the public mind realizes the
economic and moral advantages of mu-
nicipal ownership, then the main OBJ
stacle will be removed

WILL TIRE FFOOLISHNESS
Jerry Simpson Says the War of Subju-
cation is a Joke.

president Mckinley has no policy
he does not know what to do except
to send reinforcements to the Philip
pine islands, said Jerry Simpson to a
Journal reporter today. Mr.. Simpson
is on his way home to retire to private
life for two years while Chester Long
takes his job in congress.
''The people will soon begin to reflect
on the present situation continued Mr..
Simpson, land I really believe that
when they do they will conclude that
this war of subjugation is joke. It's
all very well to talk about humanitar-
ianism but when it comes to war to
force upon people a government which
they do not want things assume a new
phase.
It's not right; it's not humane; it's
not craftsmanship to kill off women and
men because they don't want our form
of government. This war in the Phil
ippine islands is absurd, and I'll VEN
ture a guess that the people of the
United States will SO decide and soon
too.
They talk about the valuable trade
of the islands. The business of Kansas
and Nebraska alone amounts to more
than the whole of the islands and yet I
dare say the government would not
send out an army to get it. And the
Kansas boys who have been killed in
the Philippines are worth more than all
the inhabitants and the trade thereof"

1t is probable that the Collins case

have had several conferences with Mrs
Collins today, and which will proba bly,

with the case. The attorneys give the

THE Gypsy OUTFIT.
Bear That was Bare-How the BABY
FrIshteneda a DeokHand.

The passengers who came up on the
boat Wednesday were greatly interested
in and amused by a gypsy outfit which
was taken on at Corbett's Landing, and
consisting of three men, two women. a
boy, two small children, three bears
and numerous other adjuncts wholly in
dispensible to the completeness of such
an aggregation. One bear in particular
succeeded in making itself conspicuous
for its very baroness. 1t was impossible
to determine to what type 1t belonged,
but from all appearances it might have
been pole or bear, being lank enough
to be either, and surely lacked enough
fur for person taking only furtiye
glance to decide it to be the latter. His
neck was bare, the greater part of HE
body was bare, he being in the act of
shedding, while his legs were barely
covered.
But he bare his share of the burden
and could dance the two-etep or cake
walk as gracefully as many society peo-
pie upon whose fortunes he depends for
a living. His only fault in that line lie
that he might be classed am ong the
"huggers. He is also a scrapper from
away back and knocked the other bears
out in every round. .s9e
When the steamer landed the women
had their numerous goods, chattels and
valuables arrayed on the beach. and the
deck hands began the process of piling
them on the deck. Noticing an old
gunny eack lying among the other
rubbish, one of the men grabbed it up
and was in the act of Singing it on
board, when it was seen to move as if
alive and the brave man Immediately
dropped it like hot potato, only to be
informed that it contained baby, and
SO it was tenderly brought ashore.
Many passengers who watched their
actions on the trip up were led to
wonder at the concern which one of the
gypsy women seemed to feel regarding a
little S-year-old child who appeared
! to be i'll. AS one of the gentlemen
passed by she besought him to do some
thing for her little one. STOPPING down
he felt its head and pulse and told the
woman that=her child was quite sick,
and needed care.-She burst into tears
and grabbing the little one in her arms,
hugged it to her breast as tenderly as
would any more civilized mother, and
prehaps meretenderly than would many
mothers of this age. Even among. these
uncouth, wandering people the mothei
love is etlll predominant. and those who
noticed her cuddle the unattractive
little babe SO tenderly. felt there was
vet some good in her make-up.
