examining the Dreyfus case, were not
among those present, in the process

The Place de la Concorde was black

The shouts ceased as the funeral pro-
cession advanced along the Quai des
Tuilleries, the Quai de Louvre and 9TH
er quais toward the lie de La Cite, on
which the cathedral of Notre Dame is
situated, the silence being broken by
salvos of artillery fired on the banks of

were filed with spectators, who were
closely watched by the police escorting
the judges of the court of Cessation

FROM NAuGLEs HOME.
The Wellington Journal Believes
Naugle Innocent of Any Wrong
Doing.

The Wellington Journal, in a lengthy
explanation of the alleged disappear
ance of Lyman Naugle, states that Mr..
Naugle left Wellington Saturday for
Denver on a business trip, and that his
enemies took advantage of that fact
to start the stories of his disappear
ance. 1t is further stated that the rela-
tives of Mrs. Naugle are responsible for
their domestic difficulties. The article
says that Mrs. Naugle knew that Mrs.
Marshall went to St. Louis on Mr.. Maui
giles pass as his wife, and that Mrs.
Marshall was an old friend of both:
that Naugles transferrence of his life
insurance was made some months ago;
that Naugle has not withdrawn from
the official board of the Wellington
Christian church, but declined a re-
election because he contemplated re-
moving from Wellington; and that the
story of Mrs. Naugle employing Ready
& Ready to bring injunction proceed
ings to keep Mr.. Naugle from dispOSing
of his property is untrue.
The Journal further states that Mar
shall Shaver was employed by Mrs.
Naugle's relatives to shadow Mr..
Naugle, and it claims that the whole
story was given publicity by A. A
Richards, 'fwho seized upon a bare
thread of evidence with which to weave
a story that would result in the social
and political ruin of his arch enemy"

For several days Lieutenant Rees has

at the latter place. A parade was given

J. G. Merrill, president of the Farmers
National bank of Salina, who was a
stranger in Minneapolis. Mr.. Merrill
was placed in the front carriage and
many of the crowd took him for Lieu

THREE IN A NIGHT.
a Series of Wrecks at Points Along
the Union Pacific.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 23.-Eastbound
passenger No. 2 on the Union Pacific
was wrecked at o'clock last night at
Weed station, one hundred miles west
of Laramie and one person was killed
and seven injured. Six are passengers

caused by a broken rail. The engine

the rear cars left the track while going
at high speed. The s1eepers, diner and
tourist chair car went to the ditch. Two
more wrecks occurred west of Laramie
last night and this morning on the I'm
ion Pacific, both being rear end collis-
sionS of freight trains. No one was in
jured although the crew of one cabooSe
jumped just in time to save being kill
ed instantly, the engine crashing
through the caboose, tearing it to
pieces. This wreck occurred at Mutton

PROF. DYCHE'S LECTURE.
Tells the Legislature a Few Things
About Greenland, Alaska and
Other Gold Subjects.

Notwithstanding the storm last night
Representative hall was well filled to
hear Professor Dyche's lecture to the
members of the legislature. The lecture
was really made up of three different
lectures, and the audience, especially
the legislators took occasion to ask
many questions about ProfessorDyche'
work and his museum at the state uni
versity. AS a result it was well on
towards midnight before the lecture
was finished, but no one regretted it.
Professor Dyche first gave a descrip-
ton of the state university natural
history museum, telling under what cir
cumstances he obtained many of the
specimens. The members of the house
asked many questions relative to the
needs of a new building for the mus
cum. He then gave an elaborate de-
scription of the Greenland highlanders
and of the interior of Alaska. The
weather outside was quite appropriate
for this part of the lecture.

COMPROMISE REACHED
By Which an Army Bill May Be
Passed.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The admins
tration and it's representatives in con-
gress have reached an agreement with
the minority in congress respecting the
army reorganization bill which it is be-
lieved will be satisfactory to all inter-
ests. 1t is probable that the formal rat
ification of the agreement between the
majority and minority will be had to-
day. The compromise is based on an
army of 100, 900 men, of whom $4,000 will
be known as the provisional army and
will be enlisted to serve until 1901.
ARRANGEMENTS are made for full
staff corps in the Hull bin, and, gener-
ally speaking, it is said that the ar
rangement effected saves the features
of that measure, which is regarded as
most essential, while meeting in a large
measure the objection of the majority
based on a fear that the regular estab-
ishment was to be permanently in
creased. The president this morning
had a conference with Senators Allison,
Hawley, Platt of Connecticut, Hanna,
Spooner and Carter on the compromise.
1t is believed that the agreement
reached removes nearly all danger of an
extra session.

a FINE POINT.
Technically the House Transacted No
Business Yesterday.

The house had trouble when it wanted
to adjourn last evening just before sup
per in getting out of committee of the
whole.
AS the house of representatives it
could not transact any business on
Washington's birthday, and the ques-
ton was how to manage it so the rec
ords would make the proper showing.
Mr.. Fairchild, who was in the chair.
finally explained that there were two
ways of accomplishing the desired OBJ
ject. One was by simply quitting by
common consent and then reassembling
as the committee of the whole this
morning to go through the form of ris-
ing and reporting to the house; the
other method was to consider yester-
days session of the committee of the
whole as a continuation of Tuesdays
proceedings and make the journal show
that all the business was transacted on
Tuesday.
The latter method was adopted by the
house The committee rose and re-
ported to the house, and then upon
motion of Mr.. Fairchild final adjourn
ment was taken until Thursday morn
ing. The house journal shows that all
this was done ON Tuesdays legislative
day, and that the house adjourned over
Washington's birthday

BRIGANDAGE IN CUBA
Is Being Dealt With Promptly By the
Authorities.

New York, Feb. ga Havana spec
ial says:
Brigandage is reported from Matan-
zas province but it met with heroic
treatment. A party of seven bandits
alleged to be former Spanish guerillas,
led by a negro guide named Vidal be-
gan the depredations. A squad of Gu
ban soldiers under Major Arguelles pur-
sued and overlook the band near the
Hamlet of Carta gena, where two of the
bandits were killed and two wounded.
The Cubans lost one killed and two
wounded. The pursuit was continued.
The American military authorities are
watching these cases with some anxi-
ETY. but incidents like that at Matanzas
satisfy them that the insurgents can be
organized into an effective rural police.
The Cuban officials are urging that it
that with part of their troops thus
that with ap art of their troops thus
disposed, the remainder will return to
work in the fields if oxen are given to
them.

GOES TO GOV. STANLEY.
Topeka Auditorium Bill Has
Passed Both Houses.

The Topeka auditorium bill passed
the house today by a vote of II to 8.
1t is now ready for Governor Stanley's
signature.
When the bill came up for final pas
sage it happened that every member Of
the Shawnee county delegation was alb
sent from the floor of the house. Sew
eral members began to vote against
the bill under misrepresentation, many
seats were vacant, and it began to look
as though the bill might not receive a
constitutional majority, but some of
those who had voted against it were
set straight and changed their votes.

BLACK EYE FOR BARBER BILL
It Is Sent Tobogganing to the Foot of
the Calendar

LnS CaI0nuar.
The barber bill had another inning
in the house today and received a black
eye. 1t was on third reading, subject
to amendment and debate, and was ia
ken up today for final passage, but when
the house got through with it, instead
of being passed it was at the foot of
the calendar under general orders,
where it may never be reached during
this session.
AS soon as it came up Mr.. Seaver Of
fered a substitute a bill providing
that county health officers should in
der the control of the state board of
health.
Speaker Pro Tenn Benefiel, who intro
duced the original barber bill in the
house, was in the chair, and he ruled
Seaver's substitute out of order as it
was an entirely new bill.
An appeal was taken from the ruling
of the chair, and this caused a jangle,
but the chair was finally sustained.
Mr.. Geissler moved to refer the bill
back to the committee of the whole.
Dawes and Grattan both opposed this
motion and favored immediate passage
of the bill.
Mr.. Fairchild moved the previous
question, but it was voted down.
Speaker Pro Tenn Benefiel in the
meantime had been studying his rules,
and he ruled Mr.. Geissler's motion to
refer the bill back to the committee of
the whole out of order unless a suspen-
sion of the rules was taken.
Mr.. Babb moved a suspension of the
rules to accomplish the object of Mr..
Geissler's motion, and it carried by a
vote of 81 to 26. This sent the bill to
the foot of the house calendar, and
there are ten pages of bills ahead of it
to be considered in the house committee
of the whole before it will get on third
reading again, unless it is made a spec
ial order.

TRACK SCALE BILL
Will Not Stay Dead and is Causing
Trouble.

Mr.. Fairchild has a bill before the
house which is making the committees
considerable trouble. 1t is to re-enact
the track scale law Of 1893, which was
knocked out because of it's defective
title. 1t is to compel railroad companies
to put in track scales at every station
shipping 100 cars of cattle annually.
When the bill was introduced it was
referred to the railroad committee and
turned down by that committee, but Mr..
Fairchild resurrected it and had it re-
This committee voted Tuesday to recon-
mend the bill favorably but that action
has been reconsidered and it is proba BILE

TO FIGHT BILLY EDWARDS.
Senator Lewelling Will Oppose the
Corn Exhibit Scheme.

The house has passed Representative
Willis bill to appropriate 900 for a
corn exhibit at the Paris exhibition, but
this scheme will have opposition in the
senate. 1t is fathered by w. G. Ed
wards, ex-secretary of state.
1t is generally believed that if the bill
passes Edwards will handle this money,
and that the offices of commissioners
will be given exclusively to Republi-
cans. "A suspicion of politics will kill
the bill,' said Senator Lewelling today.
Mr. Lewelling is opposed to the plan
and will fight it in the senate. He will
have the aid of other PopulistS in the
fight.

Poor Water Pressure Furnished by
the New Jersey Corporation.

Burg E. Zeis said: ST was at the fire
this morning. I know nothing about
fighting fires but I know that it ap-
peared to me that there should have
been a greater water pressure. Two
streams from the front could not be
thrown higher than the second story
and one small stream only was thrown
with difficulty to the third floor. 1t had
no force. 1 do not criticise the f1remen
but I think that they should have had
a better water PRESSURE

people can see that they have proper
