Positions Taken by the Two Sections of
the Elections Committee.
| Washington. Jan. 24.-The QuIy
case has at last gotten ont OF the
hands of the senate elections commit
tee and reached the senate itself
There are two reports. the majority
signed by all the Democrats and Bur
rows of Michigan. declaring that
Quay has no right to seat. and the
minority, signed by the remaining Re
publicanS of the committee declaring
| that he has. The majority report bases
its conclusion on the following PROPOSE
tiOns:
After Il vacancy in the office of
United States senator occurs or comes
to pass. if the next legislature does not
nil il. il continues to exist. 1t is the
same vacancy. not n new one. Now.
the state executive is given power to
make temporary appointments in case
of vacancy. not as long as it cOntin-
ues or exists. but only until the next
meeting of the legislature. which is
then required to fill the vacancy. This
clearly means that the paramount ill.,
tent 10 have the legislature choose the
senators iS to prevailand that whenev-
er the legislature has had the opportun-
ity to fill the vacancy. either before or
after il occurs. the executive has no
power 10 appoint
The minority report takes the oppO-
site view. Quoting Section 3. Article
!. of the constitution. the minority
says that the failure of the governor
- call the legislature together TO elect
senator does not act 10 deprive the
governor of the power of appointment
Referring 10 the constitutional pro
vision the question is asked: Does
tho language or the constitution OF the
United States mean just what the con-
Stitution OF the commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania says: In case of va
cancy III the office of United States
senator in Il recess between sessions
or does ii mean that the vacancy
must be one which comes by chance,
so that it does NOT apply ut all to the
case Of vacancy al the beginning of
Il term. which does not come 10y chance
but iS fOreSrcn and iuevitahleE" This
question is then argued in favor Of an
affirmative reply 10 the first question.

ties and precedents-

h. The executive committee Of, the
Old Settlers association held a,
meeting al, the court house and
discussed ways and means for
their barbecue at the Chautauqua.
A committee, consisting Of, DR..
.Ruger, c.. Budde and A. 8, Pattie
was appointed to make arrange
ments for the barbecue. The
.Chautauqua program for that day
will be under the control of the
old settlers, and it was, thought
advisable to invite Major Edwards,
and Editor Winship and other
distinguished old-timers of the
state to take a prominent part.
|Chautauqua rates will then be in
force and the railroad fare will
enable old settlers from a distance
to easily attend. The committee
decided to send invitations to all
the old settlers whose names have
been secured, to be present, and
also to send the invitations all
over the state. A committee con.
sisting Of F. II. Prosser, Emmett
Pew and Ed. LaRue was appointed
to attend to this matter. The
committee will meet again on

Then Suddenly Disappeared
With the Proceeds,
Is CAPTURED In IOWA.
Julia Lysles Gave Her 500 to
Have Spirits Work.
Fortune Teller Was to Make Any
Wish Come True.
But the Fairies We're Obstinate
and UncOntr OlIabIe.

Atchison, Nov. 17-Sherif Kif left
for Topeka last night to get extradition
papers from Governor Stanley for the
purpose of returning to Kansas from
Des Moines DR.. Eliza Taylor, a colored
soothsayer, charged with awindling
many Atchison negroes.
Julia. Lysles, colored one of the vic
Tins of DR.. Eliza Taylor, who disappear
ed Wednesday night, lost $100-50. The
Taylor woman called on the Lysles girl
early in November and told her that she
had the power to make any wish come
true. If a person put up enough money,
she said she could make any number
of wishes come true. However, she ex-
planned that in case wish were made
no one should know it but the Lysles
girl and herself If you could tell a
wish or I should tell it, said Mrs Tay-
lor impressively, I'VE would both be
paralyzed.'' Thus she paved the way for
securing a neat sum of money without
being exposed.
The Taylor girl had lot of things
she wanted. and on November ), she
gave Mrs. Taylor $50 of her hard earned
money. Mrs. Taylor wrapped 1t up IN
tin foil, and said it must be kept in
certain secret place until November IA,
when the wish would come true. ON NO
Vember 2, the day before, the Iysles girl
had given Mrs. Taylor $3.50 as a starter:
On November 1 there was some KIND OF
Mrs. Taylor SO more. On November Z,
the spirits got to jangling and turning
everything upside down, and it took
another $25 to ease up the situation
Matters worked smoothly until NoVem-
Der g. when another slight tangle oc-
CURED, and SO had to be put up. This
amount did not aid the case, and 1t look
ed as if everything were to be lost, and
November 10. $3.50 were Veptured 70
sooth the lacerated spirits. This did
no good, and on November u, $50 We're
cast into the Unsuitable caldron. This
seemed to make everything right, and
on November Il, the Lysles girl was to
have every wish satisfied, and she was
also to get all her money back.
On November II, or last Wednesday,,
Mrs. Taylor showed signs of uneasiness,
rumored that she was going to leave
town, and the Lysles girl hunted her
up. 1t turned out that the spirits did
not work well at the boarding house
Mrs. Taylor had just left, and the Lysles
girl had to put up 81 more to set every
thing right again. Wednesday night
Mrs. Taylor left for parts unknown TAX
ing the money. a state warrant was Is
sued for her Friday morning charging
pretenSes. The Lysles girl borrowed
some of the money she gave Mrs. Tay-
Tor and also paWned her watch to raise
funds. She is a domestic at the home
of Mrs Lester BrinkerhOff on Kansas
avenue 1t is said that there are num-
erous other cases similar to this, except
that the Taylor woman did not get so
much money.
A telegram received from Des Moines,
Iowa, in the afternoon states that Mrs.
Taylor was arrested at that place under
instructions received from Sheriff Kif.

SOME RARE INSTRUMENTS
Received by Lawrence University
From Germany.

Lawrence. Nov. 17.-Prof. Haworth
has just received from Germany large
consignment of goods for the geological
department. 1t is in the nature of APP
paratus for presenting the subject of
hemihedrism in crystallography and for
illustrating the properties of crystals
One class of these is composed of paste
board polyhedrons enclosed within 9TH
er glass polyhedrons The other two
the optical properties of crystals, the
difference being in the number of color
ed rays refracted from within. They are
very fragile objects and required deli
cate packing but they arrived in a re-
markably good condition.
The list included also a two circle con-
tact gOniOmeter, an instrument for meas
uring the angle at which various crys-
tails are formed. The cost of the entire
bill was $40 marks, about 800 The cost
of the goniometer was so marks. or ST. so.
But few of the larger universities con-
tain these models for illustrating hem
ihedriSm.
