high school classes, in the majority.
There are certainly four things at
which l should aim: First, I should GO
to college; or second, I should turn all
of life into college, cultivating the habit
of thinking, Of reading, of directing
conversation, of wise social life, of con-
trolled enrichment. Third, I should
overcome morbid Self-consciousness
seeking utter undergraduates through
absorption in all highest and best
things, and I should aim not to care
what people think. Fourth, I should
aim at the development of a pure
strong, gracious and broad personality.
THESE three elements l should en-
phasiZe: First, purity of speech and
thought under all circumstances. Sec
ond, genuine religious faith, such as
characterized all the great philosophers,
statesmen, poets, and reformerS of all
the ages. Third, breadth of vision that
/ might embrace in my philosophy and
in my sympathy all sorts and condi-
tions of men; looking on the vast sea
of humanity not through a portfolio on
a clouded section of the sky, but from
the deck commanding the broadcast hor--
izOn.'

LYNCHING AT CANON CITY
Convicted Criminal Taken From OFF,
GERS and Hanged.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 27.-News has just
been received here of the capture Of
Reynolds and Wagner, the escaped con-
victs and the subsequent escape of
Wagner. Reynolds is the man charged
with killing Night Captain Rooney of
the Colorado penitentiary at Canon
City, and Wagner is said to have held
Rooney while Reynolds stabbed him.
Night Captain of Police Conner at
Florence assisted by Policeman Powell
made the capture on the bridge of the
Florence & Cripple Creek railway near
Florence. When word was sent to
Canon City of the capture a special
train with seven guards and a blood
hound were dispatched to the scene.
In the meantime Capt. Conner had
started overland with Reynolds
Immediately on receipt of the news at
Canon City the fire bells began to ring
and the town turned out en- masse.
Reynolds was taken from the officers
when they reached Canon City and
hung to a telegraph pole just outside
the penitentiary walls.
The mob, which consisted Of several
hundred men, appeared to be wholly
unarmed and not a word was spoken by
any one until after the man had been
hanged. The guards, four in number,

true education is the exploration of this

document was made public in Topeka
last night:
THE Peoples party of Kansas be-
heves action even more than the plat
forms Of political party are the proper
criterions of it's motives and intentions,
and that the actions of the national
Republican party relative to finance
and the trust question are hostile to the
interests of every laborer and producer
in the United States. Therefore, in be-
half of the Peoples party of Kansas,
we hereby challenge the Republican
party of Kansas to a series of joint de-
bates to be held during the next sixty
days, in any or every town, county or
precinct of this state, on the following
questions: The currency bill, now be-
fore the senate; the foreign policy of
the present administration; the Repub-
lican party as a champion of trusts, etc.
''The Republican party has defined it's
position Has it the manhood to defend
it?''
The challenge is signed by the state
chairman, Taylor Riddle, and John H.
Curran, secretary.
If the Populist managers have the
courage to send this to the Republican
state committee it will be acted upon at
the meeting Monday.

PROSPEROUS TIMES AHEAD
How to Follow Safe Lines in Credit
Business

L think that may say without any
qualification that Topeka is entering
upon the most prosperous year in it's
history as a business center There are
signs which business men are quick to
grasp, and the general impression among
the local merchants is that they are
here in plenty with the opening of the
year"
President M c. Holman, of the Com
mercial club, was engaging in a gem
era1 discussion of 19O0's prospects, and
this statement, coming from one of the
commercial bulWarks of the states cap
ital, was regarded by all who heard it
as especially significant Mr.. Holman
continued:
Topeka has exhibited to me for a
number of years a great promise for a
commercial future, but there have been
times in its history when, in common
with financial stringency over the state,
there was a shadow over the glitter of
this promise. The shadow is not here
now, and there are many reasons for
the reawakening of interest along all
lines.
Now, as a matter of principle, have
a belief in a cash basis for business of
every KIND. 1t is more satisfactory in
every way. But, at the same time, the
strictly cash merchant is more of a
cream than a reality, or, so to speak,
dweller in Utopia. Cash business is
little ahead of the present for this
country, but will probably be realized
sooner or later.
Since it is not feasible for all lines
of business just now. the question is:
What is the best form of credit bust
ness? General, undiscriminating credit
is very hazardous, more so now than in
former days, and it is best for the mer-
chant to consider the question seriously.
While four of his customers may be
honest, the fifth may not be, and the
loss will eat up the profits from the
four. One reason for my faith in this
coming year lies in the fact that To-
peka merchants have realized this, and
have taken good thing up.
"A neatly bound book, containing
many thousand names, is in use by the
majority of the Topeka business men,
and by almost all those of large estab-
lishments. 1t is, in fact, a commercial
directory, and is in the capable hands
of the Strauss Agency of this city. The
great majority of the people who trade
here are listed in this book, with notes
affixed to their names to show what
business mems experience has been with
them. When name is proposed for the
extending of credit the book is invaIua-
able as a reference. The agency is also
doing good work along collection lines.''

WHAT WILL BRYAN Do?
Bourke Cochran Will Support the Ne
braskan Under One Condition.

New York.Jan 27-W. Bourke Cochran
today announced his advocacy, with one
condition, of the denomination of VIII
liam J. Bryan for the presidency.
Mr.. Cochran proposes a truce with
the Nebraskan on the silver question
until 1904 and if BRYAN will agree to the
armistice anti-imperialism will be the
Democracy's war cry in the 1900 cam
paign. If Mr.. Bryan Will consent to
postpone the silver fight until 1904 Mr.
Cochran agrees to endorse the Chicago
platform in it's entirety.
ITO unite the Democratic party it is
not necessary that it should repudiate
any of its former expressions; or that
it should renounce suppress or dis
guise any of it's beliefs,''~ says Mr..
Cochran.
