STANLEY AND THE SOLDIER
How the State Committee Refuted
Charges of Unfriendliness-

During the campaign, the charge that
Governor Stanley has not sustained the
promises which he made to give the OLD
soldiers the preference in making ap-
pointments under his administrationsW was
freely used.
The criticism of the governor has been
offered mainly with reference to the
state institutions under the manage
ment of the state board of charities.
The management of the state cam
paign has deemed the charges of suffi-
eient extent and Importance to cause
the publication of a letter which Cover
nor Stanley wrote to the board of char
tiles soon after it was organized under
his administration
It has also been charged that Cover
nor Stanley was not acting in good
faith when he referred applications for
places in the state institutions to this
board.
The letter which the state committee
caused to be resurrected and published,
in the opinion of the campaign mana
gers, explains all OF these charges as
groundless. The letter follows:
The new administration viii bring q
change in the management OF the board
have selected the new members of the
board because of my confidence in their
character and efficiency
THE law provides that the subordi-
nate positions in all charitable inStitu-
lions in the state shall be filled by par
ties Of your selection. I propose to leave
the responsibility of these selections
with you, but if agreeable to you, would
be glad at any time to confer with you,
both as to your appointees and the man
agement of the several institutions IN
der your charge.
IF changes are made in the employees
of these institutions I desire to make
the following suggestions:
'.F'irs-That in making your appoint
ments, honesty and efficiency in the ap-
plicants be the first consideration.
'Second-That all other things being
viving soldiers and sailors OF the civil
war.
''Third-That you conduct the several
institutions under your charge with the
strictest economy consistent with eff
cheney.
"Fourth-That a prompt discharge
follow every instance of dishonesty, i'm
morality or drunkenness upon the part
of your employees.
with these suggestions I leave to you
entirely the management of the charita-
bic institutions of the state, hoping for
you the greatest success in their admin
istration and trusting that your man
agement may meet with the hearty ap-
wv. E. STANLEY
Accompanying this letter is the an
nouncement that three members of the
board are old soldiers and explaining al
so that the board has made the follow
ing list of appointments since March 1,
1899:
Fifty-twO veterans of the civil war.
Ninety-eight daughters of veterans
Eighty three sons of veterans.
Three widows of veterans.
Twenty soldiers Of the Spanish war.
One widow of the Spanish war.
A supplementary explanation claims
that there are at present in the service
of the state:

MONKEY IN A RIOT.
Plays Havoc Among the Cages in a
Milwaukee Bird Store.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. Tn the bird
store of w. f. Drummer & Co yester-
day afternoon a ring-tailed Chinese
monkey, one of the large variety, broke
out Of his cage and started on a career
of murder and pillage- He killed two
canaries and pulled the tail feathers
from half dozen parrots When 1t
came to plundering he found the draw
ers filled with packages of bird seed
Not wanting it himself. he took to
throwing it at the parrots. 1t was while
this was going on that the police, at
tracted by a roaring crowd of men and
boys in front of the place, came and
tried to get in.
1t was finally decided to send for the
proprietor. When he arrived the mon
key had reached the desk and was tear
ing up accounts and splashing ink On
the entrance Of Drummer the rioter fled
to one of the high shelves. The monkey
had released a number of smaller mon
keys and to these the bird man appealed
for help. At once they started in pur-
suit and after an exciting chase the big
monkey was overtaken and pulled to
the floor by the little fellows The bird
store looked as If it had been through
cyclone. The damage can not be made
good for less than $50.

TOPEKA'S STATE HOUSE.
Student of Public Buildings Visits Il
and Talks

George R. Quarrels, general travelling
agent for an eastern company, was in
Topeka recently. Mr.. Quarrels only
makes the larger cities of the country
and visits them once each year. In the
course of the year he sees every state in
the Union.
He was standing on the north steps
Of the state house when a State Journal
reporter was passing that way. The re-
porter was accosted in the following
manner: What building is that over
there2" pointing to the east He was in
formed that the building in question
was the general offices of the Santa F'e.
Then followed questions in quick sue
cessiOn as to the other large buildings
in sight, the high school, the city library
and the Presbyterian church being
among the more prominent ones.
In the course of the conversation Mr..
Quarrels said he had been through ev-
cry state house in the Union but the
one in this city and that he was just
about to go through the Kansas state
house.
Mir. QuarreIs proved to be an interest
ing tall1er and could tell some little story
of almost any public building of import
ance in the United States.
did you know that there is one state
in the Union which is without a state
house2" he asked.
No
We'll there is. 1t is the state Of Utah.
Plans and specifications have been made
Iot Tire Du4Ad4tAS Jul II IS not y ct unuef
the course of construction It will be
much larger than the building here or
for that matter than almost every state
house in the United States 1t will with
out doubt be the most magnificent
building of its kind when completed.
Nearly all the money for its construction
has been appropriated but the fund still
lacks considerable of reaching the re
quired amount"
After visiting the senate chamber. of
the Kansas state house Mr.. Quarrels
was quite liberal in his praise of the
room. saying that it was far above the
average.
