Senator Clark's Modest Living.

GFrom the Chicago Tribune1
William A. Clark, of Montana, who
began his defense of his contested seat
in the senate. is far more modest and
transformations with his income of
about 100000 a year than the average
congressman. Senator Clark is quar-
tered in the famous old Pomeroy man
sion. now the Arlington hotel annex
for which ne pays several thousand dol
lars a month. He has fifteen rooms at
his disposal and entertains not less
than half dozen friends at dinner
every night. He is served from the no.
tel cuisine by the servants of the
house. He has a valet who is little
burdened with duties. as the senator
carries not more than two trunks of
insignificant size.
Apparently he is devoted to two suits;
a long, finely fitted Prince Albert and
a dress suit His various patterned
trousers-all modest are the only pre-
ceptible changes in his wardrobe day
by day. His patent feathers are ire
prOachable. He is small, spare, weigh
ing not more than 125 pounds, and his
red hair frames a strong, manly, agree
able face. He keeps his secretary busy,
as he insists on all letters, no matter
how trivial being answered and all
interviews being given.
Senator Clark is fond of society,
dancing, and music, and is attentive
to the fair sex. While he is given to
feeling the servants who attend him in
Il generous manner, no S1,OUO DlllS are
found floating around. He is scholarly,
and keeps posted on current literature,
giving. even on the busiest days, at
least one solid hour to reading. If he
gains his seat in the senate he Will
build a house on the site of the old
Stewart castle which will outrival the
Letter house, which it faces. The SEN
ator travels about town in the cars in
the most democratic way. Strangers
who stop to look in the door of the
committee room on the senate side al
ways ask to be shown the multi-mii-
ionaire senator, and never fail to be
surprised at the modest, unobstrusive
little man who stands about the cor
ridors. They evidently expect to see a
man built. in proportion to his fortune.

MISS BUSH'S SUIT

rupted Buggy Ride.
Daughter of Ex-Secretary of
State w. E. Bush.

Trial In Progress In Shawnee
County District Court.
Railroad Company Making
Hard Fight.
NOW BEING HEARD.

The trial of the suit of Miss Vida
Bush, daughter of ex-Secretary of State
w. E. Bush, against the Union Pacific
Railway company for $4,000 damages
for injuries which she sustained in a
railway accident last August, was be-
gun in the district court yesterday af-
ternoon.
Miss Bush was buggy riding with
William Bowhay, a clerk in the Santa
Fe offices, on the evening of the acct
dent, and they rode out to Calhoun
Bluff. While attempting to cross the
Union Pacific track northeast of the
city on their return the buggy was
struck by a west bound passenger train,
the horse was killed. and both occu-
pants of the buggy were injured.
Miss Bush was only II years old at
the time of the accident, and the suit
is brought by her father. EX-Associate
Justice Allen and Otis Allen are her at
torneys. The railroad company is de-
Tended by n. H. LoomiS, r. w. Blair
and Stafford & Williams.
A jury to try the case was obtained
with very little trouble and it is made
up largely of farmers.
In stating the case from the stand
point of the plaintiff, Judge Allen eX-
planned that a freight train had just
passed Miss Bush and Mr.. Bowhay
when they were about $50 feet from
the track. They saw nothing of any
other trains and drove on towards the
track when the freight train had pass

CONCERNING KANSAS.

News From the Various State
House Departments.

George W. Martin. secretary of the
state historical society, seeks the CO.
operation of the women's clubs of kan
sas in the collection of history. In
circular letter which he will send out
today Mr.. Martin says:
1T is the desire of the historical So
ciety that the last year of the century
be given to the collection of historic
matter concerning Kansas. The voice
OF the nineteenth century will be heard
in the twentieth There are no tombs
for the mind and soul. The dead past
is a fallacy. The past has its history
and power. It is misconceptiOn that
yesterday is no more. Yesterday is the
forerunner and interpreter of tomor-
row.
THE society win appreciate it if your
club will add to its duties of 1900 the
gathering of history in its immediate
neighhOrhOOd; geography, antiquities,
political affairs, industries, religious
and social progress, commerce, educa-
ton and the essentials of local history
THE characteristics of the county, its
topography, soil and resources which
may have influenced settlement and de-
term1neQ the economic and social con-
ditions; the mounds, the rock carvings
or implements found indicating the pre-
decessOrs on the soil; changes in the
county or city boundaries, OrganIZa-
tiOn of villages. representatives of the
city and county in the legislature or
elsewhere; the rise and progress of p0-
litical parties; the progress of indus
trial evolution, showing progress, con-
dition and prospects of the people;
original Indian trails, early highways
and the development of railways. the
growth of churches, philanthropy, re-
forms and civic questions, the various
colleges and schools, the public libra
ries and the part both the men and the
women Of the county took in the mill
tary service, should be studied and pre-
served.
The trash of one generation be-
comes the treasure of another. The
reminiscent is always interesting"
This is the first effort of the kind
which has been made in developing the
state historical society. If the women
of the state respond as generously to
this call as they do to all others of
public interest the additions to the So
ciety viii be valuable and innumerable.

VICIOUS INSANE MAN.
Joseph Hockard Battles With the
officers Who Arrest Him.

Joseph Hoekard was arrested this
morning by officers Bernard and Simp-
son, on lower Kansas avenue, charged
with being insane.
Hockard was terrorizing the people
in that part of town. 1t was as much
as the officers could do to take him to
thu station. He fought and snapped,
and it required the efforts of four Off
Gers to put him in the cage in the cell
room. Later he was removed to the
county Jail and locked in the parlor
eel. He fought and kicked and the
officers had difficulty in placing him
in the cell AS soon as the door was
locb eG he commenced breaking out the
window glass. His feet and hands were
manacled. AS soon as the door was
closed he drew himself up to the win
dow bars with his manaeled hands and
kicked out the rest of the glass. Hook
ard was at one time fireman at the
Topeka insane asylum. He became vi
olently insane while spending a day off
in town. He was sent to the Osawa-
tonne asylum. He has lately been en-
ployed as fireman at the Edison plant

CONDITIONAL PARDoNs.
Douglas and Cherokee County Con-
victs to Be Released.

Governor Stanley has issued two con-
ditional pardons as follows: Abner
Henderson of Douglas county sentenced
to three years for assault with intent
to kill.
James Mccullough of Cherokee coun-
ty sent to the penitentiary in 1899 Sor
q years, upon conviction for man
slaughter.
The circumstances surrounding these
two cases were such that the governor
believes the men were more sinned
against than shining and he gives them
an opportunity to begin life anew.
Should either of them indulge in the
slightest refraction upon the conditions
of the pardon they will be at once re-
turned to the penitentiary and will
complete the sentences.
