Now Bitterly Regrets tt.

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 9.--(SpeciaL)-Th
last Official act of Leedy was 20 sign
bill amending the Australian ballot law
and accept the resignation Of Senator
Hanna Of Clay Center. Hanna refused 10
vote for the supplemental railroad bill and
when called home 10 account for it he said
he would resign before he would vote for
the bill. He forwarded his resignation
TO Leedy Sunday and then tried to take It
back as follows:
ITO the Senate Of the State Of Kansas;
Some days ago, a question having arts
en- regarding my vote in certain matters
pending in the senate, 1 deemed 1t right
and proper to place my resignation as SEN
ator In the hands OF the secretary OF the
senatorial committee, W. B. Hemphill, 10
he sent TO the governor upon certain con-
ditions and limitations which were ex-
pressed by me at the time Of dts delivery.
Contrary to my instructions. my resig-
nation was forwarded to Governor Leedy
on Sunday. January Sth. 1899, and fmmedi-
ately afterward, upon learning the fact, 1
wired the governor withdrawing my said
resignation. Contrary to my instructions
and against my direct request, the gov
ernor accepted said resignation and placed
the same on file in the Office Of the secre-
tary of state, where it now remains. Said
acceptance and filing was made after ]
had withdrawn the resignation to the gov
ernor, and before he had sent notice. II
such notice was sent, Of his acceptance.
'T therefore ask that this senate by
proper proceedings declare me qualified TO
hold the said office and sit in the senate
during the remainder of the term for which
1 was elected. GEO. w. HANNA.

Kansas City, No, Jan. 9.-The safe con
tanning $115O0 which Chad StoweIl, inmate
Of the Hutchinson CKausas) refoCmatory,
in a confession made Saturday last, said
he had helped take from the Missouri Pa
cific train robbed at Leeds in September

by Chief Strauss and Sheriff Cook OF To-

After a hard days search by the officials
with the help OF many Ga-latn men armed
with picks. shovels and bars. without sue
cess, the search was abandoned.
The theory is advanced that If the money
and valuables had ever been buried there,
during the time that has elapsed it has un-
doubtedly been removed by some OF STOW

had impaired his secret.

SPECIAL SESSIONS RESRLTS

The Portland daily press., 1899-05-27

Dearer to the heart of Major General
William Rufus Shafter, United States vol
unteers, than all his military titles and
all his honors and lionizing is the ranch
he owns near Bakersfield and to which he
expects to retreat when, in a few weeks,
he will be retired by the operation of the
age limit regulation.
One of the generals fads is the breed
ing, Matching and raising of chickens, and
when he makes one OF his periodical visits
of inspection to his ranch his first thought
is always for the poultry department. The
distinguished citizen who presides over
the hennery has lately become much inter-
ested in the study of the X rays.
DO you know, general, he observed
when the commander was down in Kern
county for few days last week-''do you
know the rays will be of great values
Why, by using them, I can tell whether a
hen contains eggs or not.
But General Shafter who, while he was
broiling in o tent near Ell Caney had some
very narrowing experiences with commits
sary supplies, answered YEARLY:
II wish they would invent machine
which would tell us whether an egg con-
tains chicken or not. ''-San Francisco

Just a Little Fib.

Seeing the name of the painter, Alfred
Stevens, in the papers reminds me of a
neat little faux pas made by would be
art connoisseur in Paris few years ago,
said gentleman who owns a few master
pieces himself sit is hard to realize that
"a man with the thoroughly Anglo-Saxon
name of Alfred Stevens is not English or
American, and, in fact, there is ring to
the name that suggests the United States.
AS matter of fact, Stevens is a Belgian
master, pronounces his name 'Stayvenz'
and is as far from English in his style as
it is possible to be.
"Stevens is prominent figure in Pari-
sian art circles and is greatly respected
In one OF the American salons Of Paris a
newly arrived young lady, with art aspira-
tions, was discoursing learnedly on paint
ers and painting when some one CHANGED
to ask whether she had met Alfred Stevens.
after moments hesitation the young
lady replied: NO, don't believe I ever
met him, but he has relatives in Bridge.

AvERY'S ROCK.
The Niagara Falls Tragedy Which
Gave the spot Its Name.

A few men still live about Niagara
Falls who remember the woeful incident
which gave name to Averys rock,
point usually of interest to tho tourist.
On Friday, July 10, 1858, Joseph Avery,
German, was on the river above the
cataracts in a small skiff with compan-
lon. In some way they lost control of
their boat, and 1t went over the falls with
Avery's companion. Avery himself jump
ed or fell out and succeeded in clinging to
q log which had become jammed against
a rock not far above the brink of the falls
1t was evening when this happened,
and Avery passed the night on the log,
having made himself more secure by tying
himself to 1t with piece of stout cord
which he had in his pocket.
In the morning the man was seen, and
thousands quickly gathered ON the shores.
A hugh placard was held up where 1t could
DO seen by Avery, on which, in gigantic
letters, had been printed the words. 1--WE
will save you.
All day the people on shore strove to
make their word good. Many devices were
tried in vain. One boat was let down
into the current by ropes, but this was
swamped Immediately Another followed,
but the lines became hopelessly entangled
in the rocks, and it had to be abandoned.
In the afternoon a raft was sent down,
but the raft stuck fast in the rocks. There
seemed no way in which Avery could be
reached, and meanwhile his strength was
fast failing.
At last, held securely by ropes, boat
ventured out to him, guided by daring
navigator, who had almost reached the log
when Avery, who had unlashed himself
and was eagerly awaiting a chance to
spring into the boat jumped for it; but,
being weak from hunger and terror, he
missed his clutch, fell into the swift cur
rent and in an instant was swept over the
falls.-F. A. Acland In Youth s Compan-

The Trolley Face.

EVERY one, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, "who uses the open trolley cars
knows the difficulty of entering them ow-
ing to the high steps, awkward entrances
and narrow aisles between the seats;
hence it is that the average person board
ing one of these peculiarly constructed
vehicles wears an expression of agonized
doubt and uncertainty most painful to be.
hold Fearful of making misstep and
exercised over the difficulties encountered
the passengers countenance seems most
plainly to reflect the emotions experienced,
and this is particularly the case with
women, incumbered as they are by skirts.
The trolley face will remain until Octo-
Der, when other peculiar types of facial
distortion will succeed it in the attention
of the general public.
