Kansas Seeks Possession of
Its First Capitol Building.
Interesting Incidents Connected With Its Erection. the Sittins Of
the Only Legislature That Ever Met Within Its Walls.
and the Rise and Fall. Of the First c apital City.

Shawnee Mission entirely too close to Mis-
souri, for the success of the free State
cause. and sought another location for the
territorial capital.
In the summer OF 1853 the Federal Govern
ment established Fort Riley at the junction
Of the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers,
in what is now Central Kansas, to protect
the Western frontier. The confluence of
these two rivers forms the Kansas, or Kaw.
Among the officers We're several Free State
sympathizers. They conceived the idea of
founding a town adjacent to the fort, and
making 1t a Free State settlement. So they
laid out the town of Pawnee.
About the same m a party Of pro-
slavery men founded. a few miles farther
east, a town which they called Ogden, after
the first commandant at the fort. A fierce
rivalry at once sprarg up between the two
towns, and each put forth every effort to
secure more settlers than the other.
Early In 1855 Governor Reeder proclaimed
Pawnee the capital Of Kansas. the town

Most Of the members were compelled to
go from fifty to $50 miles.
CONTESTS FOR SEATS IN
THE FIRST LEGISLATURE.
There We're perhaps a dozen buildings on
the site of Pawnee when the Legislature
convened. One of these was a stone store
building. Another was a large. roomy cabin
of hewn logs, built by Governor Reeder for
his executive mansion. There were also a
half dozen log cabins here and there. but
the principal building was. Of course, the
Capitol. 1t was u two-story structure, built
OF stone from the neighboring hills, laid
with white dirt for mortar, sixty feet long
and forty feet wide. and considered q very
large ediflce. The Council was expected to
hold its sessions On the upper floor. while
the House of Representatives met below.
One or two log boarding-houses had been
built In anticipation of the meeting of the
Legislature. but few Of the Lawmakers
pa%tronized them. Most Of them were accus-
toned to the open air and had brought
tents with them. The townsite speedily be-
came u small city of tents, with a camp
fire in front Of each. over which a legislator
cooked his supper.
The Legislature was convened on July
2 with the pro-slavery men in control Of
both houses. The President of the Council
was the Reverend Thomas Johnson, a Meth
odist missionary. who founded Shawnee
Mission, at the mouth of the Kaw. in 1850,
and established Il manual training school
there for the red man. The missionary's
sympathies were with the South, and he
was made the leader of the pro-slavery
forces in the Legislature. His son, Colonel
A. g.. Johnson, now one Of the owners of
the Topeka Capital, was a member of the
lower House. Colonel Johnson is credited
with being the first white child born in
Kansas.
IT. NJ 49,
members to whom Governor Reeder issued
certificates OF election were contested save
that of Mr.. Houston. the member from the
extreme western district. On July 4 all Of
the contestees were disbarred, n pro-
slavery men were seated in their places.
AS the little band of Free State men
moved down the aisle to leave the building
one of them turned just before he reached
the door and said:
Gentlemen, you will live to rue this
day. The actions which you AVE COM
mitted on this memorable anniversary
will kindle the fire of a nations wrath. and
the wrongs you have done here will be
avenged in blood"
Two days after this the pro-slavery men
adjourned the Legislature over Governor
Reeder's protest. to meet two weeks later
at Shawnee Mission on the Missouri bor-
der. After it had again assembled Mr..
Houston, the one Free State member, re-
signed his seat in order. as he said. that he
might have no part in a p~ro-slavery organi-
cation.
STEAMBOAT BURNED
IN A PRAIRIE FIRE.
There had been a theory that the Kaw
was navigable up to Pawnee, but this
was soon exploded. In the summer Of 1855
a steamer went up as far as Manhattan. at
the mouth Of the Blue, but before 1t got
back the Kaw became so shallow that the
captain was compelled to tie his boat up

please. but all the same I am glad my wife

These remarks set me thinking, and I be-
gan to wonder IL there was any truth in
them.
I decided to investigate and ascertain just
what kind of homes clubwomen did have
and whether they had more trouble with
their servants than the ordinary. everyday
woman.
The first woman upon whom I called was
prominent in one OF the many patriotic
clubs. which really look upon themselves
as being a little bit better than the usual
literary. political or reform club.
This woman lives in a pretty house. That
she was a clubwoman needed no telling.

WHEN MISSOURIANs CARRIED
wv KANSAS ELECTIONS.
The election at which the members Of
the first Legislature were selected was held
on March 80. 1856. Both Free State and pro-
slavery forces We're determined to carry it.
During the days Immediately preceding
the election a constant stream of Mis-
s. urians poured into the territory with the
avowed object OF voting. On the morning
CT March so 1000 of them rode into Law
renee. They were heavily armed and also
brought two small pieces of artillery. They
were commanded by Claiborne f. jackson,
afterwards Governor of Missouri.
When the ballots We're counted the pro-
slavery candidate had a majority larger
than the entire voting population of Law
renee. The same thing happened in every
tie extreme western, in which s. d.. Hous-
ton. q Free State sympathizer who now lives
with his daughter, Mrs. l. Il. Parsons, east
Of Saline, was elected.
When Governor Reeder returned several
weeks later he called a new election in
some of the districts. Again the Missouri
pro-slavery men invaded the territory;
again there were cast In most precincts
twice as many ballots as there were voters
residing in the precinct. But Reeder an
nounced the election of the Free States cam
didates and CAV them seats in the Terri
torial Assembly.
The Legislature was called to meet on
July 2 at Pawnee. The only way to reach
the place was by wagon or on horseback.

and I noticed as the door opened that the
maid was the same pleasant-faced, soft
voiced colored girl I had seen before. She
wore her plain black gown. large white
apron. neat white collar and cuffs and
taunty little cap. She looked happy and
contented. and held out the small silver
tray for my card in as perfect a manner
as though her mistress were no clubwom-
an.
Upstairs in madam's sanctum It was the
same. Club emblems We're ~ryw in
evidence. Notwithstanding all this, this
home bore the stamp of a good housekeep-
er. 1 incidentally turned the conversation

Then I called on a woman with whom I
am friendly. There I met the maid she has
