The house last evening defeated Rep
resentative DeBard's bill making it a
felony for mOrtgagor to sell mort
gagged property on which the mortgage
is more than $40, without the written
consent Of the mortgage. This is the
first bill that has been lost on final pas
sage.
Mr.. Ravenscraft. in explaining his
vote against the bill, said it was now a
misdemeanor to sell property If the
mortgage was less than 5000, and fell
ony If more than that amount
This bill may work a great injustice
to some Debtors" he said, land believe
that it is introduced at the instigation
of outside creditors. I do not doubt but
that there has been lobby here to get
this bill through"
There were only So votes for the bill,
short of a constitutional majority
After the vote was announced Mr.. De-
Bard demanded a call of the house, but
was ruled out of order. There We're SO

Care of the Teeth.

A well-shaped mouth is often marred
if the teeth are not in harmony. The
proper care OF the teeth is very impor-
tant; for, If neglected, indigestion re-
suits, and this leads to pimples, wrin-
kIes and the general spoliation of the
complexion. Use a moderately hard
toothbrush, and every morning after
breakfast and before going to bed thor
oughly cleanse the teeth outside and in
side with soft water and a good powder.
Rinse the mouth out also after. every
meal. Do not use dentrifices that con-
tain acids, as they quickly destroy the
enamel Charcoal powder IS good and
acts as deoderizer as well as whiten-
ing the teeth; moreover. it cleans them
without injuring the enamel. The fol-
lowing is an excellent recipe, which
would be well to have made up, for it
not only cleanses the teeth, but takes
away any offensive taste or smell in the
mouth: Two ounces powdered cutie
fish bone, one ounce OF areca nuts
Gaw) pounded, five ounces of prepared
areca nuts charcoal Perfume with
few drops of essence of violets or any
other scent you prefer. The soft inner
portion only of the cuttlefish bone
should be used, as the hard, fieshy shell
removes the enamel.-From the Hart
ford Times.

House and Senate Both Have
More Employees
Than the Session Two Years
Ago.
YEARLY so PLACES
Provided For by the Payroll
That Are Not Needed.
Both Houses Equally Repre-
hensibIe in This Matter.

There will be about 100 clerks and
employees in the house by the time they
are all appointed. This is % more than
were employed in the session two years
ago, and shows that there is con-
slant inclination to make new places
an order to get favorites on the pay roll.
There are already three more janltors
than two years ago, three more pages;
two more dOOrkeeperS, and several
stenographers for the chief officers OF
the house, as well as other additional
employees.
All of the committee clerks have not
been appointed yet, but will be Wltnln
a few days. Chief Clerk Lobden also
has several copyists to appoint, but he
will not do so until they are needed
later in the session. These are en-
ployes which are needed at every ses-
sion to do copying when the rush or
business comes towards the end OF the
session, but some of the doorkeepers,
janitors, sergea nts-at-armS and COM
mittee clerks have little or nothing to
do. The chief officers receive IS per
day, and all the minor one, except the
pages, get 50 per day. The pages get 81
per day.
Some of the small rooms have a jani-
tor who does nothing but take care of
those rooms, and it does not require an
hours work a day. Some of the COM
alarms furnish them with an assist
ant sergeant-at-arms, when they have
little or no use for one.
The chief duty of the messenger of
the house is to carry notes from the
members to the railroad offices asking
for passes.
The senate a day or two ago was
asked to name a, second assistant post
reporter, because some of the senators
could not get their mail last Sunday.
When the resolution providing for such
appointee was presented, Senator For
ney said:
1.-The senate now has "a employees.
We had "A two years ago and got along
tolerably WE'LL
The resolution was defeated.
With "a employees and 40 members, at
So per day, the senate pay roll amounts
to $402 daily.

"PLAYING CHINAMAN"
Leads to Arrest of Five Boys For
Attempted Train Wrecking.

San Francisco, Feb. 2.-Five boys, the
youngest II years old and the oldest 16,
have been arrested by Special Officer
Thomas Madden of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company on the charge
of attempting to wreck a train All live
with their parents and claim to be en-
ployed at the glass works. When ar
rested they were near the tracks be-
tween Army and Twenty-sixth streets.
The officer says a basket of rocks was
placed by them on the track just before
a train was due.
The boys say they were playing
Chinaman.' They say that one of them
had the basket of rocks on his shoulder
playing that he was carrying eggs and
the other boys We're trying to throw it
off. They declare that a train had just
passed and they We're not near the
track when they were arrested.

nav appofnt a. resident attorney to act

may appoint resident attorney to act
in the case.
The vote stood IS for the bill and 4
against it. The negative votes were cast
by Ravenscraft, Remington, wilcox and
Wright of Lyon.
Mr. Ravenscraft said that as far as
he could see the bill was simply to make
business for resident attorneys and he
was opposed to it.
1t is said that this bill is really in
tended to operate against big law firms
which have a large real estate practice
all over the state. Eastern loan COM
panies, for instance, employ a single
firm to attend to their entire Kansas
business. This may mean that the firm
will have to practice in half the coun-
ties of the state, but If this measure be-
comes operative it will shut off that
kind of practice and loan companies
will be compelled to employ resident at
torneys in every county in which they
have cases.

SEARCHING FOR ANDREE.
Norwegian Sailors Tell of a Mysterious
Object Observed Between Green
land and Iceland.

Stockholm, Feb 2.-The Swedish pa
pers contain another story of the prob
able fate of Andree. Prof. NathorSt
has been visited by sailor who was a
member of the crew of the Antarctic
during its voyage late last summer
This sailor. who is described as a per
fectly trustworthy man, gives the Iol-
lowing details of a statement made to
him personally by the captain of Nor
wegian sailing vessel, the Harold Haar-
sarger, engaged in seal catching in
the pack ice between Iceland and Green
land.
Fourteen days before the summer
solstice of 1898 our vessel entered the
ice between Iceland and Greenland In
&c degrees 80 minutes north latitude and
% degrees longitude west of Greenwich
We there came across seals and all the
boats were put out to catch them. one
boat, with a crew of five men, roWed
past a mass of ice, upon which a heap,
somewhat resembling twigs or a bundle
of steel wires was plainly to be seem
Unfortunately, no further attention
could then be paid to the unwonted OBJ
ject, as a fog arose and the men feared
that they might not be able to regain
their ship. Hence they rowed quickly
back to the HaarSarger.
when the captain heard the report
of these men he remained riding at
anchor several hours in the hope that
the fog would lift. AS the fog still con-
tinued and the ice was beginning to
drive the captain ordered the vessel to
be steered in the direction indicated by
the five men, so that II possible he
might come across the piece of drift
ice in question. But the fog was per-
sistent and the vessel was compelled to
make its way out of the ice without
having cleared up the matter. The sail
ors now express their great regret that
they did not at the time pay more at
teention to the heap of twigS,' and they
excuse themselves by the fact that at
the time they had not the slightest
thought of Andree's balloon. The object
thus seen may be something left be-
hind by the Fran"

Two Shooting Scrapes in Wheatley's
County Before His Anti-Revolver
Bill Was Passed.

Representative Wheatley's anti-revol-
yer bill, which created so much discus
sion in committee of the whole a few
days ago, and which is pronounced I'M
constitutional by many lawyers has
passed the house by a vote of 70 to 81
The intention of the bill is to stop the
carrying of weapons by desperadoes
who come into the southeastern coun-
ties from the Indian Territory. Shoot
ing scrapes frequently result down
there. The very night that the house
committee of the whole recommended
this bill for passage, there were two
such shooting scrapes in Mr.. Wheatley's
county, both with fatal results.
