QUARTERS WERE SCARCE.

The average householder who pro-
tests twelve months out of each year
that his gas meter is out OF order and
is trying to make a race with time to
bankrupt him, when the end OF the
month comes around will be interested
in the fate that sometimes overtakes
the individual who resorts to the drop
a-quarter-in-the-slot meter for relief.
One Of the champions of the latter
system gave a party to a number OF
friends the other evening at his fiat,
and the merriment was at its height
when suddenly the place was shrouded
in darkness. When the alarm, occa-
stoned by the suddenness of the trans
formation had subsidized, the voice OF
the anxious housewife was heard an
nouncing that the 25-cent allowance of
gas had been exhausted and that she
had not a piece of money of that de-
nomination in the house. In vain the
guests gathered under the gaslight in
the hall, fed from another meter, and
searched their pockets for a silver Is
cent piece. There was plenty OF
money in the crowd, but no quarters,
and the situation had grown distress
ing when volunteers offered to go forth
and try to secure the coveted piece OF
silver.
Until n has tried 1t, the difficulty
OF securing a specific coin Is hard to
realize, especially in the evening when
the stores are closed. After making a
canvass of the neighborhood without
result an expedition was formed and
two or three of the men made their
way to the nearest street-car line.
where they boarded a car and secured
a stock of quarters from the conductor.
Then they returned to the gathering
OF guests in the hallway and, after
feeding the hungry slot, succeeded in
securing light for the balance OF the
evening. But the popularity of the
ever-present slot device had sunk
twenty points in as many minutes.

SAM JONES RETRACTs
An Attack Made on Mr.. Bryan in
Sermon.

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. 31.-The Rev.
Sam p. Jones, who has been conducting
a revival here, has succeeded in stirring
up a regular hornets nest by an attack
on William J. Bryan. HopkinSville is
a free silver center, and while the people
were already Smarting last week under
Jones' sharp criticisms Of the ways of
the town, he capped the climax by crit
icising Mr.. Bryan. He told them that
prosperity had returned, and then said:
'I like Bryan. He is a good man,
honest and talented, and one of the
most genial gentlemen ever knew. But
40 YEARS old and pays only So taxes.
Now, a fellow who can't manage his
own affairs any better than that hasn't
any business fooling with the finances
of the nation
Mayor James NJ. Lang of Paducah,
who wired to Lincoln, Neb., for the
facts, sent the following telegram Civ
ing a statement of Mr.. Bryan's taxes
for the three years, as furnished by the
sheriff of his county:
To James M. Lang, Paducah, KY: '96,
$135; '97, $241. .S8; '9S, $322-77. None out
side that 1 know of.

The telegram was handed to Mr..
Jones with the request that he correct
his misleading statement. Evangelist
Jones gave out a signed statement en-
bodying his correction, but he took oc-
Evangelist Jones asserted that he was
told in Lincoln, Neb, that Bryan paid
but $S taxes in 1895.

much in 1898 as in 1896 he is surely prosz

ANDERsoN,s BILL KILLED.
Arch Bridge Law Ruthlessly Trampled
Upon by the Senate.

The senators with one accord Monday
afternoon, in committee of the whole,
opened a fight and finally killed Sena-
tor Tom Anderson's proposed law auth
orizing the construction of permanent
arch bridges in the state and authoriz-
ing the county commissioners to exceed
the appropriations now provided by law
for this purpose.
When the bill came up, it headed the
calendar, amendments were proposed
which would have made the bill appli-
cable to Shawnee county. This won't
do said Major Anderson We've got
a bridge here which will last us $50, 900
years and this bill only authorizes other
counties to proceed with similar i'm
provements if they so desire. I'm in
favor of good roads and better bridges
mean better roads,
A senator asked Mr.. Anderson if the
commissioners of the various counties
might, under the provisions of this pro-
posed law, throw away county money
in extravagant enterprises. THAT I
cannot answer, replied the senator from
Shawnee, definitely. I know that we
have trouble here holding the commits
sionerS. They do things which the peo-
pie do not approve of and then spend
most of their time splitting mustard
seeds"
Because it conferred too much power
on the county commissioners the bill
was killed, on motion of Senator Level
ling, by striking out the enacting clause.
The Topeka state journal., 1899-01-31

appropriates $4,000 yearly to support
it's travelling libraries, and they are
placed not only in communities but even
on ocean going steamers. During the war
Wisconsin sent travelling libraries to
the regiments of that state in their
camps"
Some people have an idea said Mrs.
d. w. Nellis. that the travelling library
is for the benefit of the women's clubs,
but that is not the case. In fact our
travelling libraries have generally gone
to towns where there are no clubs and
but few books. We have sent them to
small towns all over the state where
eight persons have formed themselves
into a library association to be respon-
sible for the books. We have even sent
libraries into farming communities
where the farmers have formed a libra
ry association and procured a library
for their winter reading. Fifty books
form a library and they can be kept
six months in a place if wanted. In
several instances our libraries have
been the means of starting permanent
libraries in the communities where we
have sent them"

SHAWNEE TURNED DOWN.
Senate Declines to Authorize Changes
in Fee and Salary Law.

The fee and salary law passed by the
legislature of 1897 cut down the fees of
the sheriff and clerk of the court in this
county far below what is regarded as
reasonable compensation for the work
and Senator Anderson sought to relieve
the difficulty by asking for the enact
ment of a law which would empower
the county commissioners to employ ad-
ditfonal clerks.
This bill followed the bridge bill on
Mondays calendar and was taken up
in the committee of the whole. Because
it proposed to amend the law of 1897
the senators opposed the bill and after
a long discussion it was referred back
to the committee on fees and salaries,
at the suggestion of Senator HeSsin,
with instructions to report, if any
amendments to the law of 1897 are
made, a general bill revising that law.
A similar bill introduced by Mr.. Lew
cling, pertaining to Sedgwick county,
was sent to the same committee under
the same instructions.

New York, Jan. 31.-Margaret V.
Rouss, the wife of Charles Broadway
Rouss, is dead. Mrs. Rouss' family are
residents of Winchester, VT, and her
body has been sent there for interment.
Mrs. Rouss' maiden name was King.
Charles Broadway Rouss began his
business career in Winchester, Va The
war destroyed his business there and in
1866 he determined to come to New York
and try his fortune here. He had so
little money at that time that he was
obliged to leave his wife and child in
Winchester for a time. He is now a
millionaire but almost blind and likely
to become Sightless. Mr.. Rouss has
taken so great an interest in Winches-
ter that he has contributed large sums
for it's improvement. The water works
of the town were built by him and in
the cemetery there are several monu-
ments built entirely, or in part, by him,

roPEKA's POLICE LAW.
To Do the Business of Justices Courts
if This Bill PesseR-

The bill to give the police Judge of To-
peka Jurisdiction over criminal proceed
ings usually heard in justice courts has
been introduced into the house by Mr..
McKeever. 1t provides that the police
judge shall have jurisdiction to hear
preliminary examinations and petty
offenses such as are ordinarily tried
before justices of the peace
All writs, subpoenas, and other pa
pers in such cases are to be served by
the police force when the persons to be
served are inside the city, and by the
sheriff or his deputies when outside the
city AS the police receive a regular
salary they would get no fees for their
services, it is argued that this would
be a great saving in litigation.
The bill provides that the police Judge
shall be paid Jointly by the city and
county, the city to pay not less than
5000 nor more than 81 900 per year, and
the county to pay not less than $400 nor
more than $500 per year.

WHAT KILLED MRS. ADAMS.
Report of Chemical Analysis of the
Drug.

Eew York, Jan. 31.-Prof. r. A. Witt
haus, to whom was entrusted for analy-
sis the contents of the bottle from
which was taken the drug that caused
the death of Mrs. Kate J. Adams
month ago, and the vital organs of the
victim, made his report to the coroner
today. The examination of the powder
in the bottle, Prof. Witthaus says,
showed the presence of the following
substances: Potassium, sodium, mer-
curry, carbonic acid, cyanodine, bromine,
q trace of chloride, tartaric acid, and
acetanilid. The potassium was probably
present as potassium bromide, the sod
AuIn sodium bicarbOnate and the mer-
curry as mercury cyanide.
The upper layers of the contents of
the original bottle contained a larger
quantity of mercuric cyanide than the
lower portion.
The amount of mercuric cyanide Ala
grains, found in the stomach and its
contents, is sufficient in the absence of
other violent causes of death, to war
rant the conclusion that the deceased
died from the effects of that poison,
