HUMOR OF THE CAMPAIGN

'YUST VAT THEY DID."-One Of the spell
binders in the campaign who at the Repub-
lican National Headquarters yesterday told of a
meeting Of workingmen In New-Jersey which was
moved to enthusiastic applause by the timely in
terruption of a stout German woman who occupied
one or the front seats. The Republican speaker
was contrasting the conditions under a Republican
administration with those under Democratic adj
ministrauon, and said: Eight years ago you took
your dinner pail in hand and Democrat tic
ballot In the other and deliberately voted the bot
tom out of your dinner pail and the seat out OF
your trousers" Then came the interruption. The
stout woman rose in her place. waved her arms and
shouted: Dots yust vat they did! Dots yust vat
they did, She sat down amid thunderous ap-
plause, followed by hearty laughter.

BAD MEN CAUGHT.
Men Arrested For Burglary in
Usage County.

II. L. Weber and H Holmes were ar
rested Monday evening two miles south
west Of Usage City by iCty Marshal
Hawkins and Constables Hayes and
Cross of Reading
1T is believed that they are the men
who two weeks ago entered the Reading
postoh1ce and stole about $245 worth OF
stamps and valuable goods. When ar
rested the men had on their person two
large FevOlVerss one q 36-calloer, the
other "A. with a number of dynamite
caps, and also some skeleton keys.
Sunday night last burglars broke into
the general store of w. w. Jones of
Reading and stole quite a considerable
amount of goods. About noon Tuesday
q large quantity of merchandise was
found under the creamery at Barclay,
Thirty-one pair of shoes, some over
coats, bolts of dry goods, together with
much other stuff
The people of Reading are very much
excited over the affair. as this makes
the third time the postoff1ce at that
place has been robbed in the past two
years.
Sheriff NJ Hoffman of Usage county,
g. w. Morton. constable of Usage City
and Constable Hayes Of Reading came
to Topeka today to search the room re-
Gently occupied by Weber and his wife
in the Pleasant Home hotel.
Weber came to the Pleasant Home
hotel on Saturday, the 10th of Novem-
Der and left shortly after. His wife re-
4ualHe0 until 1AOnuay night WHen she
went to Usage City on the midnight
Santa Fe train in answer to telegram
from her husband.
Mrs. Weber went to Usage City and
was taken into custody by the officers
there. When searched she had a So
caliber revolver, a case of small drills
and a box of cartridges in her grip.
The officers have been led to believe
that the woman is not Mrs. Weber but
that she is Estelle's wife; and that the
men they have are part of a gang of
which Estelle is a member, as it is said
Estelle had been in communication with
them through the mail before his escape
from the Denitentiary.
The officers from Usage county to-
gether with Sergeant Gon and others
of the Topeka police force made a visit
to the Pleasant Home hotel this morn
ing and made a search of the woman's
room for any trace of stolen goods.
It was ascertaiDed that all the bag
gage the woman had at the hotel was
a small grip and that she had taken it
with her when she wenl to Usage City.
The officers think the have hardened
criminals in the man and woman but
are of the opinion that the other man
is new at the business.
The rooms were searched but nothing
was found to prove the theory advanced
by the officials. 1t was in the Pleasant
Home hotel where the officers got
Estelle and they went there this morn
ing thinking they might find him
there. The officers should know by this
time that Estelle is not a fool.
Warden Tomlinson of the penitentiary
has offered a reward of two hundred
Mr.. Reese of McLol1th has offered q
reward of twenty dollars for the return
of a horse which it is thought was
taken by Estelle since his escape.

gresham for Kansas. If the southern
representation is reduced then the basis

her present congressman.
81 have talked continued Mr.. Bailey,
with number of southern congress-
a fight against a proposition to reduce
their representation, yet they admit
this is the only solution Of the problem
and also admit that this is what should
be done.
'SThey even go so far as to say that
If the race question was eliminated in
the south, more than half Of the states
would go Republican.
THE south believes in the Republican
principles Of sound money, expansion
and protection but the race question is
the paramount issue and until that
question is forever settled the Demo-
cratic party will dominate.

posed to a reduction of the southern
representation, but if the question ever

that the congressman there usually have
no opposition and therefore only a small
per cent of the people vote; that II there
were q contest at the polls the vote in
the districts would be as large as the
districts of the north.
1.-The vote might be some larger, but
all know that a large per cent of the
vote is disfranchised, and as long as this
is true I believe the southern represen-
tation should be based upon the actual
vote cast.
1.-THE hope of Kansas to retain a con-
gresham is to reduce the southern rep
resentation. If the tables were turned
the Democrats would not hesitate a mo-
ment to do this
Mr. Bailey thinks another hot fight
in sight for congress is over the Grout
BILL which If passed would destroy the
manufacture of oleomargarine, ''but the
bill will not pass said Mr.. Bailey.
IF the Grout bill gets through the
house, it will be by very close margin,
and then the senate is sure to kill it."
Mr.. Bailey thinks the substitute pre-
pared by the committee of agriculture.
of which he is a member, is a fair meas
ure This provides that oleomargarine
shall be sold only in the original pack
age. That the word oleOmargarine shall
be stamped on the roll and around this
shall be a wrapper also stamped as to
the contents, the last wrapper to be
sealed with the government stamp.
1.-THE representatives of the far west
ern states will vote to a man against
the Grout BILL said Mr.. Bailey
The Grout bill provides simply a tax
of 10 cents per pound on the product
and not a restriction is made.

ALL CAN COME HOME.
C0rbin's Plan For Return of the
Volunteers.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin authorizes the statement
that it is the intention of the war de-
partment to bring home from the Phil
ippines to the United States every one
of the volunteers who cares to come and
discharge them here on or before the
1st of July next when under the law the
volunteers must be mustered out
1t is the expectation and hope of the
war department that the coming con-
gress, will at an early period in its ses-
sion, enact legisla ton which will enable
the department to replace the present
volunteer force by permanent force of
soldiers. In that case such of the men
in the ranks as care to continue in the
service will be re-enlisted as regulars,
and any vacancies that may exist
through the muster out of the volun-
teers will be supplied by original enlist
ments in the United States It is be-
Heved that these enlistments can be
made in time to replace all the retired
Philippine volunteers before the first of
the next fiscal year without causing any

things may be expected to soon. develop
a situation that will compel either a
large return of securities. or consider
able European shipments of gold, or
large lendings by New York to London

1t is perhaps not likely that New York
win apply any pressure to bring gold to
this side the Atlantic. The time for
the return of money from the interior
is close at hand, and New York may be
expected to easily take care of the de-
mand for loans; and It would clearly
serve the purpose of our banks to allow
a considerable balance to remain on de-
mand in Europe rather than to force
settlements in gold. with the effect of
producing a local redundancy of money
and thereby forcing down the rate of in

Congressman w. J. Bailey who repre-

when his term expires, Charles F. Scott,
of lola, succeeding him, says the only
way Kansas can hope to avoid losing
a congressman by the next apportion-
nent is for congress to reduce the con-
gressionaI representation in the south
where large per cent of the negro vote
is disfranchiSed.
Mr.. Bailey believes that Kansas and
the west should make a fight to reduce
the basis of representation in the south
and thereby keep the contest moving in
the other direction instead of permit

Feature of Good Roads COnVen-
ton Recommendations.

Chicago, Nov. 21-Several important
recommendations were made by the leg
isiative committee at today's session OF
the National Good Roads convention
Following are the recommendations:
First-That highway commissioner
be appointed by each state to have gen.
era1 charge of all roads
Second-That the poll tax be abolished
and all taxes for road maintenance be
paid in cash. This includes the repeal
of the statute labor laws.
Third-That a state road plan be
adopted in all states, including the en-
ployment OF contract labor in prepara-
ton of material for roads.
President Moore, speaking in support
of the last recommendation said the far
less than one-fifth of the property of
the country have up to this time paid
all the expenses of roads for all the
people except in three or four states.
I'VE believe" said President Moore,
that these expenses should be equalized
and the people in the cities should give
their just share"
A committee was appointed by Presi-
dent Moore to draft a bill outlining the
suggestion of the legislative committee.
This, after open debate by the conven-
ton, will be completed and sent to the
SO legislatures in the United States which
meet in January.
A special committee will also be ap-
pointed which will visit Washington
Immediately and confer with Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson in regard to the
recommendations to congress.
