school is low. That is not true.
Our plans for the future are not
definite. We have adopted a general
policy. One is looking to development
into full-f1edged college. A lady
whom 1 met in Chicago who was a
graduate of Punahou, told me that
Punahou will never be a college, that
it was practically senseless idea.

study of the conditions in these Is

light upon these questions as viewed
in comparison with the conditions else

here that cannot be duplicated in any
other place in the United States.
TERRITORY NEEDS COLLEGE.
1T has seemed to me on the whole
that this Territory should have a col
lege, and that a college must be es-
tablished very soon. We tried a little
experiment in chapel this morning that
has convinced me that we need the
influence and leadership and elevatine
power in this community gained
through Christian college. I made
out slips on which were two ques-

WIRES CROSSED.
Smoke in Telephone Tower Creates
Little Excitement.

There was slight fire in the tower
of the telephone exchange about 5
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The in
struments gave the first warning Of the
affair by acting in rather a strange
manner. and an investigation was inn
mediately made that the source of the
trouble might be ascertained. Smoke
was discovered issuing from the tower
on top of the telephone exchange and
several men Immediately fastened to
the seat of the trouble.
1t was discovered that an electric
wire had crossed one of the telephone
wires somewhere, and the current had
started to burn the woodwork of the
tower. little observation-disclosures and
quick work on the part of the men,
who went to work right away with
pieces of cloth and smothered the little
blaze, soon did away with all danger
of a conflagration. 1t was found that
an electric light wire had crossed a
telephone wire out at Punahou.

DEMOCRATS DRAW WELL.
Get Most of the Places on Contest
Committees

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 4.-The senate
part of the joint committee to try the
governorship was drawn at 1890. The
names drawn from the box We're Sena-
tors Frazier and Allen, Democrats and
Crensha, (GoebeI Populist). The lower
house today decided to have separate
committees of five members each to try
the legislative contested election cases.
As there are IS contests the entire day
will be consumed in the drawing and in
many cases members whose seats are
contested will necessarily be drawn to
sit on other contests.
The senate will have two committees
of five members each to hear senatorial
contests.
In the drawing of committees to try
the senatorial contested election eases
the Democrats drew eight out of nine
members on the Simmons Huntsman
contest and seven out of nine members
on the Young-Allen contest.
In the drawing for the lieutenant gov
ernor contest committee in the senate
the first name drawn out was that of
Senator S. 3. Harrell, the author of the
Whallen alleged bribery expose, and the
others were Senators Coleman and
Watson also Democrats.

$40, as against $500 in the preceding
year.
The murders come to a total of e,225,
as against 7,S4O in 1898. The Tribune
recalls that there has been steady de-
crease in the number of murders each
year since 1886. AS that date also
marks the beginning of the present era
of business prosperity,it cites close con-
nection between the two facts. Proba-
bly, the increased opportunities for en-
ployment and the decrease in business
failures and financial reverses will also
go far toward accounting for the fact
that there were $50 fewer suicides last
year than the year before
There have been 1O7 lynchings. OF
these 100 were in the south and in the
north OF the sufferers 81 were blacks
and % whites. Forty-four persons were
lynched for murder, II for completely
in murder / for arson and murder, IL
for assault, for alleged assault and
for assault and murder.
Attention is called to this noteworthy
item connected with the suicide sta
tistics in the disproportionate number
of physicians who took their own lives
as compared with members of other
professions Thirty-eight doctors COM
mitted suicide, II ministers of the Cos
pei, prominent attorneys, bankers
and 7 Journalists, while on the list are
only actors and 2 college professors.
The Tribune thinks it would be a false
analogy, however, to try to account for
the increase of suicides among doctors
on the theory that there has been less
sickness. The suicidal tendency of that
profession is largely due to the famili-
arity of physicians with subtle poisons,
notably opium. in it's various forms
OF the crimes and punishment sche-
dule, it is remarked that the increase
in the total number of hangings in the
country over last year is rather cur
ious, in view of the fact that murders
have steadily decreased for several
years. Juries, judges and governors ap-
pear to be growing less lenient-
over so per cent of the lynchings is
confined to four southern states, Georgia
with 2S, as against 10 legal hangings;
Mississippi, with IA; Louisiana, with
13, and Arkansas. with II. The large
number of 1O7, deplorable as it is, shows
improvement, since it is the smallest
record in Is years. and falls below the
1898 showing by 20.

MANY MORE PENSIONS.
Twelve Thousand Names Added
to Topeka Office.

Nearly 1900 pensioners have been
added to the rolls of the Topeka pension
office and five extra clerks have been
employed to handle the increased bus
mess.
While nearly 1900 names have been
added to the rolls at the same time
something over 5000 have been checked
off SO that the net gain is much less
than 1900.
This change was caused by a new or
der of the pension department which
requires that all who live within the
jurisdiction of a pension office, who are
entitled to pensions, must be paid from
the Office in whose district they re-
side.
There are many pensioners in Topeka
who get their pensions through the Chi
eago, New York or other offices and
this order will put a stop to that and
their names will now be found on the
books of the Topeka office.
On the other hand there are people
living outside the jurisdiction of the
Topeka office who have been drawing
pensions through other agencies and
their names have been transferred to
the locations in which they belong.
The clerks who have been appointed
to handle the increased business are:
Laura Buck, Carrie Hills, Maude Will
son, May McCleary and Pearl Bruba-
ker. They have already assumed their
duties,

HANDSOME HOME.
Armin FassIer VIII Build q
$4,000 Residence on
Polk Street

One Of the finest modern residences in
the city will be built next spring by Mr..
Arfnin Fassler of the Inter Ocean mills.
The plans for the building have been
completed by a Kansas City architect
and have received the approval of Mr..
FaSSler and his family. The house will
be nearly three stories and will be con-
structed of buff brick. 1t will be the
first house in Topeka to be built of this
material.
The architecture is also decidedly new
so far as Topeka is concerned, being a
modification of the colonial style. The
$4,000 and the contract will be awarded
soon so that work may be commenced
early in the season.
This magnificent residence will be
built at the southeast corner of Ninth
and Polk streets, opposite to Bethany
college. Mr.. Fassler owns four lots at
that location.
Another handsome home Is in con-
temptation to be erected IN the same
vicinity. Mr. Horace Hall is planning to
build large modern residence on Tyler
street between Ninth street and Eighth
avenue. He says that he has not yet
made up his mind about the time he
will commence work and it is possible
that he will not build until next spring.
Topeka has three handsome residences
assured for this year Mr. Parkhurst
will build at the corner of Ninth and
Tyler streets; Mr.. A. Zahner will erect
a large modern home on Topeka ave-
nue. near Eleventh and the Fassler
home is the third.
residences will be built and that To-
peka will enjoy a boom in building this
season such as has not been experienced
for ten years.

REESE CASE CALLED.
Colonel RossingtOn Raises the
Question of Jurisdiction.

St Louis, Jan. 4.-The case of John
B. Reese who was imprisoned for al
legged contempt of the federal district
court at Topeka, Kan, and subsequent
ly released on a writ of habeas corpus
issued by United States Circuit Judge
Thayer, was heard before that judge to-
day.
Judge Thayer requested the attorneys
to specify the issue upon which the
contention would be urged. This was
done. It was determined to make the
question of jurisdiction paramount
Attorney Rossington began the argu-
rnents for the relator, contending that
the United States district court Of
Kansas had no jurisdiction over his
client, because he was not a resident Of
Kansas, since the restraining order ap
piled to the citizens of that state. AS
Reese was not a party to the original
suit, he could not be amenable to any
order relating to it. He pointed out
that the temporary restraining order
was not served on Reese and therefore
he did not violate it.
Reese, who is a member of the exec
utive committee of the United Mine
Workers of America, went to Kansas
last April and spoke in behalf of strik-
ing miners at Fort Scott. He was ar
rested and sentenced to three months in
Jail for violating injunction of the
United States district court.

A Record Raatar.

w. M. Snyder, of Silverdale, is not
only a farmer, but a practical dairy
man. Years before coming to Kansas
he devoted considerable time to raising
cattle and conducting diaries, the out
put of which found ready market at re-
munerative prices in Baltimore Last
Saturday, Mr.. Snyder was in the city
and left a package of butter from his
Jersey dairy, which was the best in
flavor and the most inviting in appear
ance that we have ever seen. During
the year of 1899, Mr.. Snyder has made
1,216h pounds of butter from four Jer-
sey COWS which were in continuous SER
vice, and one which gave milk only six
months of the year. Besides this, the
family has used all the milk that was
desired, which, on a farm, means no
small quantity-Arkansas City Traveller.

The Kingman Salt Works TO Be
Operated.
Detroit Capital Organizes to
Work the Mines
AT AN EXPENSIVE COST
Newton Citizens Decide to Drive
Out Criminals.
Raise a Fund of So 900 to Puri-
fy City.

Kingman. Jan. 4.-The self mines at
this point are to be operated at an early
date as the following clipping from the
Detroit News Tribune will show:
THE Kingman Salt Mining company
of Detroit, Mich, has been organized by
the Mulkeys Of Detroit, proprietors of
the Detroit Salt company, and now in
corporated in this state about a month
ago, with a capital stock of $3.50, O00.. All
of the stock has been subscribed by
Detroit parties with the exception of
$4,000 subscribed by parties at King
man, Kan. where the mine Is located.
Readers of the Tribune will re-
call the efforts of the Mulkeys and their
associates to mine salt last winter in
the vicinity of this city, which were a
failure, owing to flooding of the six
inch drill pipe with water at the rate
of 10000 gallons per hour.
But an opportunity to acquire a salt
mine came in May last and was prompt
" taken advantage of. In Kingman,
Kan, which is 234 miles west of Kan
sas City No, there is a large salt field.
About seven years ago Chicago parties
organized company to mine salt near
that village, purchasing the mining
rights for 600 acres and on a site of
eighty acres erected building and ma
chinely, and sank a shaft sixteen feet
square. and 1000 feet deep, at a total
expense of 5000, 600. Owing to COMPETE
ton with rock salt companies, at Lyons
and Kanapolis, in Kansas, and the
great Retsof company of New York, the
company closed their mines after about
a years experience.
This mine is now about to commence
operations. Its capacity at present is
about twenty-five cars per day, but it
will be greatly increased. A car load of
rock salt, weighing about twenty five
tons, commands about $125 delivered in
Chicago. The officers of the Kingman
Salt Mining company are: President,
o. w. Mulkey; vice president. W. F.
Mulkey; secretary and treasurer, j. NJ.

Golden Rule Jones: "The triumph of
the trust is one of the mighty events
Of the 18th century, but they are an
economic development, strictly in the
line OF progress, and the problem is
not how to destroy them, but how best
to use them for the good of all Like
their prototype, the labor-saving ma
chine constructed of wood and iron,
they have come to stay. Thirty-five
years ago I saw a mob Of teamsters
trying to destroy the first pipe line ever
constructed for the transportation Of
oil. They feared that the pipe line was
an attack upon their craft. The move
ment against the trust is identically on
the same moral basis as the rage of the
mob against the pipe line, elevator and
labor saving machines generally. And
predict that it will have the same re-
suit in the end. All the legislation thus
far against the trusts has been almost
as futile as law against the changes in
the moons phase or the ebb and flow of
the tide. We are not going back to the
