CURRENT TOPICS.

Mr.. Wharton Barker, nominee of the
Niddle-of-the-Road Populists for the
-, Presidency, called on the
POpuiists.
Barker said TO representative Of the
Post that his nomination at Cincinnati
made the nomination of Mr.. Bryan by
the Democrats impossible. "In the last
Presidential election he said, Mr..
Bryan received about 6,5GO,0OO votes. OF
this number at least 100000 were Popu-
lists. This year 1 will get 100000, Or
possibly 1,150.000 of that number. This
will cut Bryan's vote to 100000 or less.
Where is he going to get the other votes
necessary to elect him? It is estimated
that Mr.. Mckinley received 100000 votes
from the Democratic ranks four years
ago. These will not go to Bryan this
year TO make his loss Of Populist votes.
'.If German or some other Eastern man
should be nominated by the Democrats
this year he would carry New York, New
Jersey, Maryland and. Delaware in the
East not to count doubtful States else
where. The fight this year will not be
made on the money question. Transpor-
tation, expansion and other live subjects
will make up the issues. -
The question for the party to decide
is whether it will look for its recruits
from the ranks OF Populists or from
the ranks of those Democrats who re-
fused to support the Chicago platform,
of 1886.
Captain tombstone, acting president Of

Bent Murdoch, who runs the FL

named Marsh, who runs the Wichita

thing We get cranky notions in our
heads and it is hard to get them out
in fact we have to wear them out.

thinks he can catch black bass and it
takes him about four days to work off
the spell. He commences by writing
letters, which he follows up with dis
patches: How is the creek How
about minnies, boat and "a team and
luncheon. And it ends up by his
coming over and fetching his family.

boat, getting the bait from the river,
and lighting ont for ten or fifteen
mile drive in the cold.
'Over to Little Walnut, down to
Hickory or Rock Creek, down or up
the Walnut, or over to the White
water. The big bass are always
twenty miles from home; and the old
codger is never satisfied till he has
tished all the streams in the county.
"And it's hard work-awful hard
work.
Getting home at night, eating din
ner. going to bed and hiking out the
next morning at daylight, for four
consecutive days, usually kills the
black bass microbes in him and he
returns home happy.
"Of course it is sport-fne sport

creek water and Kansas winds and

no sport in the world that to our mind

MODEST MR.. ALBAUGH
Although Entitled to the Best job of
Any He Declines to Name 1t

Topeka, Nov. 1.-two good offices,
bank commissioner and railroad COM

state committee, but he declines to be
tempted. The magnificent campaign

governor and this is universally rec

as to decline positively, but he backs
off and others who aspire to these
places do not expect to have him to
reckon with. The bank commissioner
ship is an Office of drudgery and little
thanks or pay, and the railroad com
missionership will be an elective Office
after the first appointment. Mr.. AL
baugh has newspaper and therefore
could not give his whole time to the
bank commissionership, and he has
no desire to make fight before the
people. So he so far has declined all
invitations to accept an appointment

THE NEW PARTY
Kansas POpulist Leaders Talking
of ReOrganizing

Topeka, Nov. 18.-The proposition
of O. b. Hoffman of Enterprise to
form new party for Populists on
avowod Socialistic lines seems to meet
with some favor. Many favor the
adoption of a new name as they say
the word Populist has become dis
credited.
John w. Breidenthal, state bank
commissioner, will not talk about the
party, He is intimately associated,
however, with Mr.. Hoffman and the
call may have been made with his
knowledge and approval. Mr.. Breid-
enthal said yesterday he had nothing
whatever to say regarding the matter.
r. H. Semple says he does not know
about the ACCESSIBILITY of forming
new party, but that he knows he can
not associate himself with a party in
which men like Grover Cleveland,
William G. Whitney and Don Dick
inson are prominent members.
James Butler, who sprung the sen
sation that a wheat trust existed is
one of the workers for new party.
He was member of Breidenthal's To-
polobampo coonlization company and
is rampant Socialist. He said be-
fore the election that the Populist
party could never again fuse with the
Democratic party, no matter what the
result of the election and that the only
thing to do was to form party on
Socialistic lines and hope to make it
a great party by interesting the labor
element in its Success

ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFs.
Some Things That Every Girl should
Learn ms Soon ms She Can
Sew.

There is no better way for girl
TO learn to sew than to make for her
self number of dainty handker-
chiefs, as very neat sewing must be
employed in all work of this kind, and
as yard of sheer linen is enough for
several of them it is much cheaper TO
make them at home. If she wants
trimming other than hemstitching
she can make this also, if she can knit,
crochet or make tatting, and any of
these are very dainty as well as dur
able, says the Housekeeper.
1t is quite feature of economy
to get a width of linen that will cut
two handkerchiefs. and there is moth
ing better than India linen of a fine,
close quality. In hemstitching only
three threads should be drawn, as it
gives much neater effect, and to
make the threads easier to draw the
material must be dampened and
pressed before beginning the work.
The girls should not only learn how
to make their own handkerchiefs. but
they should learn to launder them as
well, for the average laundress is de-
void of conscience and pity toward
these sheer articles, and if they are
washed by the owner in her own
washbowl they are spared the sacri-
flee occasioned by hard rubbing on
he washboard.
Soft water is always preferable for
washing these dainty articles, and to
wash them so they will be beautiful
ly white stir enough pearline in the
warm water to make foamy lather,
then wash between the hands, and
while still damp spread smoothly over
n marble slab or large window pane
or mirror. Let them remain until
perfectly dry, then fold evenly and
press between boards or in a large
book.
If one is an expert needlewoman she
can have quite a number of handker-
chiefs with very little expenditure of
money, and if she win launder them
herself she may keep them looking
fresh and dainty. 1t is said that moth
ing shows womans degree of refine
ment more than her handkerchief,

Child's Death Suspicious.

Monday morning coroner Teas
received "A telegram from DR.. Jewell
of Moran that an infant had died
there under circumstances which were
very suspicious and asking him to
come out and investigate. The COR
oner drove out this morning and has
not returned at the time the REGISTER
goes to press.
1t seems that a Miss Kester whose
parents live near Moran has been
visiting in Colorado for several weeks
and returned home Saturday night,
having small babe in her arms.
She reached Moran, the nearest sta
ton to her home, and the family not
expecting her were not at the train.
She secured a team and was driven
to the home of her parents. Sometime
during this drive of few miles, from
Moran to the Kester home, the child
died, and DR.. Jewell, without being
certain, had suspicious that the
mother might have put the child out
of the way.

AUGUSTUS CAESAR BAKER
The Little TattOoed Sailor is Again
in the Tolls For His MUIR
derOus MOuthings

Augustus Caesar Baker--the man
whose marriage several months ago
to the prosperous proprietress of a
boarding house in Cementville, de-
spite the protests of the lady's
daughters-started out at 10 O'Clock
Monday to find three men who
own $500 worth of property to go on
his bond and let him out of jail.
1t will be recalled that the day be-
fore the wedding the happy groom
stated in court that ne had been as
saulted while escorting his lady love
home from church by the two grown
daughters who objected to his becom-
ing papa-in-law. Despite the OBJ
stacles cast in Loves way the we'd
ding was celebrated and peace
reigned seemingly. Caesar worked at
his trade, that of carpenter, and the
world knew it not if there was trouble
beneath the happy exterior.
But such things could not last. The
daughters never grew to love Angus
tus Caesar. They always believed
that he was schemer who weddedtheir
mother because she was prosperous.
The mother gave up a pension when
she married him but she retained the
boarding house. Saturday night, so
says Mrs. SALESMAN, one of the
daughters, Augustus came home drunk

slumbered beneath his smiles against
the unrepentant family and the scott
ing neighbors broke out He told the
rebellious daughter-in-law that he in
tended to make an angel of her by the
murder route. She says so and that
he also limited that he thought his new
wife would make lovely angel.
There was no sentiment in the
daughters point of view and Angus
tus Caesar was arrested Saturday
night and slept in the county jail.
His hearing was before Justice Potter
this morning and his bond fixed at
$780,
"Where in the world am I going to
find three men worth so much money!"
exclaimed Mr.. Baker when the news
was broken to him. And he tried to
persuade his wife to go on his bond,
but her relatives and neighbors urged
many reasons against this.
During the court sitting the final
papers were received by Mrs. Baker
informing her of the closing of the
account at Washington whereby she
drew pension.
"She gave up good pension for
a handsome man." said an attorney.

TAXES TO GO FIRST.
Congressman Tawney Talks About the
Probable Reduction of the War
Tax,

Winona, Mimi, Nov. 10. - Con-
gresham James A. Tawney, of the
ways and means committee, speaking
of the meeting to be held in Washing
ton, Nov. 30, said to-day:
"The object is to consider the extent
to which the war revenue taxes can be
removed and amendments to make the
law satisfactory in administration.
The problem as to what taxes shall
be removed is a perplexing one.
think, however, it is safe to say that
the stamp tax upon instruments ofcon-
veyance, such as notes, deeds, mort
cages, inheritances for charitable and
benevolent purposes, will be removed {;
possibly, the taxes upon proprietary
medicines and some others.
at will be the desire of the members
of the committee to remove just as
many of the stamp taxes as possible"
