BUSHNELL'S LAST.
Farewell Message to the Ohio Legis-
lature by the Governor.

Columbus. O., Jan. 2.-Governor
BushnelPs last message to the legisla-
ture was submitted to that body today.
Among other things he said:
ohio has suffered much from the
loss of capital, which has found a home
in states Offering special inducements.
Our present laws relating to the taxa
ton of certain corporations are good
and there does not seem to be further
need of measures which may be con-
SIdered as in any way prohibitory on
the business life of capital, which is
consistently obeying the statutes.
The almost unparalleled prosperity
which reigned last year and the fine
prospect for continuation of the era
of good times, should bring before the
minds of those who act for the people
the desire to do their proper part in the
work of adding to the general welfare.
While it is believed that the labor
ing classes have had a more comfort
able and satisfactory life during the
recent past than for many years there
is yet neceSSity for assisting them in
many ways. Every safeguard that the
law can throw around them should be
given, provided such measures are
equitable and just to all concerned
THE requirements in regard to the
sanitary condition of places of -abor
have proven beneficent to all the good
effect being as marked for the conscien-
tious employers as for the employee. 1t
should be the aim and hope of those
ity of protecting the laboring masses
to make their environment the best
possible so that in this grand country
there shall be small opportunity for
criticism of the circumstances which
surround our toilers. It is gratifying
to me to be able to communicate the
fact that during the recent past with
one notable exception, there has been
no great trouble between capital and
labor. The differences that have arisen
have in nearly every instance been set
tied amicably. For this good result the
common sense of all parties concerned,
the work of the state board of arbitra-
ton and the timely action of the de-
partment of work shop and factory in
spection are to be recognized as mainly
responsible. All interests should ac-
knowledge the efficient and able work
of the state board of arbitration. I
consider the board invaluable and one
which should be sustained loyalty and
earnestly at all times.
THE experience of each year demon
strates to the people the Importance of
the primary election, and / believe there
is now strong demand for some legisla-
ton which will afford a process which
can be commended in the light of mod
ern methods. I therefore suggest that
close attention be given to any propo-
sition which will have the aim of pro-
viding proper primary election law

Col. Pitchers Brilliant Movement
Told in Detail.

Belmont, Cape Colony, Jan. "A dis

At o'clock this morning. the force ap-
preached a spot where a lager of the

mounted infantry to work towards the
right, making a turning movement him
self with the Queenslanders, towards the
south position. The vancouver was

SENT TO REFORMATORY.
Two Boy Burglars Escape the State
Penitentiary.

Leonard Fenimore and Allen Ayers,
two boys 18 and II years old respective
ly, will start out the year 1900 by going
to the Hutchinson reformatory. They
pleaded guilty in district court today to
the charge of grand larceny.
Fenimore and Ayers broke into a
meat market at 203 Kansas avenue
about six weeks ago. and robbed the
money drawer of $685. besides taking
half a box of cigars. They were arrest
ed and locked up in the county jail.
where Ayers has been ever since. but
Fenimore has a good many friends in
this city. and they got him out on bond
about two weeks ago Councilman
Benson signed the bond.
The original charge against them was
burglary and larceny, but County At
torney Jetmore dismissed the burglary
charge on the agreement of the boys
to plead guilty to grant larceny. Mr.
Jetmore also recommended that as this
was the first charge of the kind against
the boys they be sent to the reforma-
tory instead of to the penitentiary.
The mothers of both boys We're sitting
in the rear of the court room awaiting
sentence to be passed upon the culprits.
They had both asked Judge Hazen to
let the boys off with a Jail sentence.
In sentencing the prisoners Judge
Hazen said that he had been asked to
let them off with jail sentence if they
would plead guilty, but that he could
not legally do so, and he did not feel

the reformatory he is not sent for any

MURDERED AND BURNED.
Charred Remains of a Woman Found
in q Thicket-

Chicago, Jan. "A special to the
Chronicle from Birmingham, Ala, says:
The mutilated remains of Mrs. Jennie
Jones were found in ditch near Ros-
ser, Choctaw county. The arms and
legs had been hewn from the trunk
with an axe and the head had been sew
cred with a knife, a bruise on the head
Indicating that death had been inflicted
by an axe All portions of the body had
been partially burned and it was with
difficulty that the identity of the dead
woman was established.
The smOuldering ashes of a spent fire
in a nearby thicket showed that after
the woman had been murdered her
body had been cut to pieces and heap
ed upon a pile of brushwood, which was
then lighted, but the fire failed to ac-
complish it's work and the remains were
then cast into the ditch and covered
with leaves.
Suspicion pointed to an old negro wo-
man who had formerly worked for Mrs.
Jones and she was arrested and
placed in Jail at Butler. AS an incentive
for the crime it is suggested that the
alleged murderess was discharged by
her former mistress a few days ago.

PlNGREE TO BOLT.
RumOr at Detroit is Believed by
Some of the Politicians.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 1.-The most
startling prophecy in connection with
the political situation in Michigan came
to light today It was a statement
that Governor Hazen S. Pingree would
bolt the Republican party and join his
fortunes with the Democrats in the next
campaign.
The announcement was received in
various way by the politicians. The
Democrats seemed inclined to believe it.
The Mcmillan Republicans shrugged
their shoulders and said they would
not be surprised at anything Pingree
did. The story was strengthened by the
fact that Governor Pingree's close
friend and legal advisor is Elliott G.
Stevenson, the former law partner of
ex-Postmaster Gen Don M. Dickinson
and stanch Democrat. 1t is remarked
by many thai all the governors actions
during the session have played into the
hands of the Democrats.

Many Of Them Have Axes of
Their Own to Grind.
THEY ARE IN CONTROL
Conceded That Greenwood Man
Has State Committee.
General News Cleaned In the
Kansas Political Field.

After several months of quiet work
the forces of George NJ Munger have
gained control of the Populist state
committee and the party machinery.
The Munger forces are now in the
saddle and unless they are endorsed
by a combination of opposing forces,
Munger's chances for the Populist nom
ination for governor are unquestionably
good
There remains but one move for the
Munger forces to make and that would
cause the removal of Taylor Riddle as
chairman of the Populist state commit
Zee. BY a series of moves already
made the executive power of the state
committee has been placed under the
control of Munger's friends. Riddle,
in the endeavor to court the favor of
Munger, is working in harmony with
the new officers, hoping in the event of
Munger's success, to retain his position
as chairman.
Riddle was forced to take this posi-
ton owing to threats made by one of
Munger's representatives. who said:
There is one other job. the election
of a new chairman for the committee
which may take place before the next
state convention"

Clarke and his close friend, Edward

Chancellor Snow.
While they have frequently disclaim-
ed any such design through Mr.. Nun

some of the best men connected with it,
simply to crafty desire for personal

BUT TWO CANDIDATES.
Frank L. Brown Expresses State Com
mittee Views.

Some Of the friends of Isaac z. Lam
bert of Emporia, have been saying that
he would be a candidate for Senator
Bakers place. 1t is generally known
among Lambert's intimate friends that
he wants to go to the senate and that
he has told some of them he would
make a trial, the conditions being fav
orable. after Mr.. Baker is through. I'M
til that time Mr.. Lambert will stand by
his friend, Senator Baker.
Mr.. Lambert is on intimate terms and
sustains confidential relations with the
managers Of the Republican state COM
mittee. Consequently the following
statement prepared and given out by
Frank L. Brown, the secretary, will be
of interest:
Il E Lambert is not a candidate for
the senate. The race viii be between
Senator Baker and J. r. Burton, and it
will be a fight to a finish with no other
candidates in the field. Bakers control
Of the federal patronage gives him a
powerful weapon in his campaign. and
Burton has a host of friends who have
always stayed by him and will continue
to do So
This is an unfortunate time, how
ever, for the party to become involved
in controversy over the merits of the
candidates for the senate The major
ity of the Kansas legislature comes
from the districts where the representa-
tives are elected by majorities ranging
from one to twenty votes, and it be-
hooves the party to quit fighting over
who viii be the senator"
This effectually disposes of the inter-
est manifested by Lambert's friends in
the direction of the senate next year
Brown concludes by saying: 1T would
be good policy to elect Republican
legislature before beginning to count
the senatorial chickens. BurtOn's
friends are claiming with considerable
vehemence that Senator Baker deprived
Burton of the attorneyship for the
ChickasaW Indians. In this connection
it has been the presidents policy to
veto attorneyships of this kind and
in the Chickasaw matter he simply FOL
lowed the precedent established in a
case which came up for action a year
ago"
