The Crack In the Mirror.

Sir Noel ration, the painter, enjoyed
almost as wide celebrity as joker
as he did as an artist. An encounter
he had with physician in Yorkshire,
with whom he was on the most init
mate terms. Is an instance in point.
Sir Noel was the physicians guest.
His drawing room boosted of mag
nificent mirror. which reached from
floor to ceiling of the lofty room.
One morning while the guests were
assembled in the room one of them no
ticed large crack near the top Of the
mirror. The physician was horror
stricken and asked question after ques-
ton in an effort to discover the culprit.
PerpleXed and sorrowful, he stood
looking at the shattered glass when
Sir Noel asked that a stepladder be
brought that he might examine it more
closely.
Mounting, he drew a rag from his
pocket and hastily ran it across the
supposed crack, when, 10 and behold,
1t disappeared! He explained that,
having come down earlier than the
rest of the guests, he procured n lad
der and bar of soap and inflicted the
seemingly irreparable injury.

historical charge, purchased it for $751;

over the main entrance setting forth
the fact that the house had been
founded by the hero of Tippecanoe.
How long the old property will thus
be preserved for the public is, of
course. hard to tell; but movement
is now on foot to have some society or

bones ratified grewsomely as they walk

gravely seated themselves with their

Says No Senator Ever Did Anything
For Butler County.

In response to an inquiry by the
Douglass Tribune as to whether Sena-
tor Baker ever did anything for Butler
county, Bent Murdoch musings his
snickersnee and exclaims:
Did Plumb, ingalls,, Ryan, Injun
Curtis or any other senator, or con-
gresham, living or dead, ever do any
thing for Butler county, or for anybody
in it?
And would not the county have been
just as well off, financially, morally, re-
lgiously and politically, had none of
them ever been born?
And would not the county be just as
happy and prosperous in the future if
every member of the Kansas delega-
ton, now in Washington, should so
down to the Potomac river and jump
in?
And, by the way is not the editor of
the Douglass Tribune quietly support
ing candidate for the state senate,
from this county, who is outspoken for
Burton for the United States senator?

and stop your pettifogging on the SEN
atorial question:

The authorities understand that

been in the waters Of Santo Domingo
for some little time and the armored

The information at the state depart
ment respecting the dispute between
France and Salto Domingo is meagre,
consisting merely of the facts in the
claim and of the failure of the -Jiminez
government to pay the installments.
The authorities certainly sympathize
with France, having had experience in
the collection of claims from South
American governments. 1t IS said at
the state departments that M. Thiebaut,
the french charge d'affaires, made no
representations in this matter to the
state department The Jininez govern
ment, according to official information
received here, has repudiated the paper
money issued by former President
Heureaux and the national banks. Nat
urally foreign interests have thus been
seriously injured, especially those of
American citizens who are the prlnci-
pal holders of the money. The repre-

Santo Domingo have made protests
against this action, but they have been
unayailing.
In view of this fact and the further
failure of the Jiminez government to
continue to pay inStallmentS on the

probably decided that a naval demon

Topeka's Commercial Organization
Becoming Stronger Every Day.

Through the efforts of President
Brigham and Secretary Anderson the
membership of the Commercial club is
steadily increasing. There are now four
names on the bulletin board of the club
to be voted on at the meeting of the
club next Wednesday evening. They
are the d-Continent mills, the Aetna
Building and Loan association, NJ. A
Low, general attorney for the Rock Is
land, and H. NJ. Steele, real estate
agent. These four names will make
1877 members, and President Brigham
announces that he intends to make the
membership an even 200 before he re-
tires from the head Office of the club.
President Brigham insists on his de-
termination to retire from the presiden-
cy of the club at the expiration of his
term. He has made a most efficient Of
ficer, but he says that he does not feel
as though he could spare the time nee
essary to properly discharge the duties
of the office:

time" said Mr.. Brigham, land I have

have done something to advance the in
terests of the club every day that I
have been in the city while have been
president. But it requires a good deal
of time and 1 do not feel that I can
continue to devote to it the amount of
time that should be given it.
tsThen I look upon the matter as an
honor of no small Importance, and be-
lieve that it should be passed around.
There are many other members of the
club who can fill the position just as
well or better than I have done, and I
have no doubt that the man whom the
board of directors shall name to sue
coed me will be well qualified for it,
The election of the new directors will
be held at the January meeting next
Wednesday evening. The directors will
then elect the president and secretary.
Major Anderson will, of course, be re-
elected secretary.

James Brewer Sues Mrs. Hull For q
Release

James Brewer and his wife, Ruth A.
Brewer have filed a suit for dSShages in
the district court against Mrs. L. J. Hull
because they allege that Mrs. Hull has
neglected and refused to release a mort
gage against property which they own
on Clay street, after the mortgage had
been paid.
The petition in the case states that the
Brewers mOrtgaged the Clay street prop
erty to Mrs. Hull in September, 1895, for
$1,000, and that they paid the note on
was duly cancelled. but that the defend
ant has refused to have the mortgage re
leased although demands have been E1ade
in writing that she do so, and the mort
gage remains as a cloud upon the title
of the property. Wherefore the plaintiffs
sue for 800 damages and an attorney
fee of $50
