SICK OF HIS JOB.
That Is What Mayor Hughes
Confessed Today.

An old Scotchman had been waiting
patiently in one corner of Mayor
Hughes office while a long string of
applicants for jobs had hovered. one af-
ter another, over the mayors desk, and
poured their messages into the mayors
upturned ear.
At last it came the Scotchman's turn.
He put up the usual talk.
I worked for you in the primaries, and
my wife and both voted for you. We
stood by you in the election. and now
l want a job
I'm sorry" said the colonel. Very
sorry indeed, but 1 can't do anything
for you today"
but worked for YOU said the man
7 haven't got a thing to give away"
said the man in the mayors chair. You
see, L appointed the heads of depart
ments. and they are doing all the rest
But I've got to have a job said the
man. L must either get a job or go to
the poor house, that's all"
We'll. don't see said the mayor.
what" he continued, I've got one job
left. The pay is pretty fair. and you
don't have to work very long hours.
You will get SIS a month and most peo-
pie think the job is snap"
What is it? That's the kind of q
job L would like said the Scotchman.
It's the job of mayor" said Col J.
W. F. Hughes, you can have my place
I'm sick of IT.
According to the way Mayor Hughes
tells the story, the Scotchman dashed
out of the room, and shouted back that
he wouldn't take the job at any price.

CALL IS ISSUED.
Democrats Will Consider Union
Scheme June 22.

W. H. L. Pepperell. secretary Of the
Democratic state central committee,
has isued the call for a meeting here
June %. This is the meeting determined
upon by Chairman Love al the time of
his visit to Topeka last month.
The matter of uniting with the Popu-
lists for the campaign of next year will
furnish a big item of business The
Populists have not been idle since Love
threw cold water on the union party
scheme and their proposition may find
some advocates who will want to take
it up. They would not stop at stirring
up a rebellion against Mack Love, if it
could be given a successful start Their
boomers viii be on the edge of the con-
ference to keep things stirred up. The
official call reads as follows:
BY request of our chairman you are
hereby officially informed that there
will be a meeting of the Democratic
state central committee in the parlors Of
the Throop hotel at Topeka, on June
22d. at 10 O'Clock a. m. This is to be a
general meeting of the committee for
the good of the cause and you are
earnestly requested to be present.

Plans are on foot and nearly completed
which will give Topeka excellent rail-
road connections with southeastern Kan
sas and southwestern Missouri Officials
of the Missouri Pacific are considering
favorably a scheme to inaugurate new
thros gh passenger train service between
Topeka and Joplin, Mo-, by way of Fort
Scott and Pittsburg.
AS planned the train will run from To-
peHa to Fort Scott over the Kansas, Ne
braska & Dakota division, from Fort
Scott to Pittsburg over the Missouri Pa
cific tracks, and thence over the tracks
The only question regarding the estab-
lishment of such a service heretofore
seems to have been the fact that the Mis-
souri, Pacific had no tracks into Joplin.
previous to the time when the Goulds Sc
cured control of the Kansas City South

ordered stopped. So it is evident that a
scheme to connect Missouri Pacific lines
in this part of the country with the
southeast has been in the minds of the

D. line is rich but the accommodations
afforded by the road have not been such
to develop the territory to what seems
to be its fullest possibilities. If the pro-
posed service is put on. it will be espe-
cially appreciated by the patrons along
forded by reaching towns of southeastern
Kansas and southwestern Missouri It
would give the country all along the line
excellent connections both east and west,
in view of the train service lately in
augurated between St. Louis and Pueblo.
The train will leave Topeka about 1880
a. N. and arrive from the south about
2.80 D. m. making close connections with
the Colorado limited at LomaX- 1t Is
expected that the equipment Will be Sc
cured in time for the train to go on about

INSANITY PLEA.
Attorney For Lulu Prince Ken
nedy Outlines Defense.
Trial OfWOman Accused Of MUIR
dering Her Husband.

Kansas City, June 6.-When Lulu
Prince Kennedy entered court this
morning it was to hear the outline of
her case in the trial for numbering her
husband made by Attorney Nearing. The
prisoner had enjoyed a good sleep last
night and appeared bright and cheerful.
She was perhaps more at ease than any
of the large number Of spectators. At
torney Nearing after tracing the atten-
tions paid by Kennedy, the murdered
man to the defendant, declaring that
they had become engaged to be married
and the date Of the wedding set after
they had been engaged for some time,
Kennedy, he asserted postponed the
wedding and finally under guiSe of the
engagement, Seduced the defendant.
Then when her condition became delicate
he paid her expenses to leave the city.
On this visit, Mr.. Nearing said, she met
Case Patten, the baseball player, whose
name later became mentioned with that
of the prisoner Kennedy had, he said,
been familiar with all her actions dur
ing this time. In securing the advice Of
a physician she had, he asserted, been
persuaded by Kennedy to represent to
ten Her condition became dangerous
and her parents compelled her to make
known the cause.
The court house wedding, at which
Kennedy later in his suit for annulI-
ment asserted he was compelled to par
ticipate by threats on his life from
Miss Princes father and brother fol-
lowed. Kennedy's refusal to live with
her, her broodings over her condition,
his i'll treatment brought her to a condi-
tion of hysteria, bordering ON insanity.
Insanity was prevalent in the woman's
family and the prisoner partook of this
disease, which finally affected her mind,
causing her to threaten suicide. The
final act of Kennedy Of bringing suit
to have their marriage set aside was
the motive and the only motive that
prompted the act of murder They would
show positively that the Woman's father
and brothers had absolutely no part in
the murder, knowing of the woman's
act only after it had been committed
The taking of testimony was begun at
noon.

TROUBLE CONTINUES
Between British and French
Soldiers at Tien Tsin.

Pekin. June 6.-The ministers have
ceased to hold meetings. while making
inquiries as to the desires Of their re-
spective governments. The majority of
the ministers hold that Germany
should have told the Chinese that all
the powers would agree to an indemni-
ty of 45O. 900 900 taels at 4 per cent inter
est. They also think that the with
drawal of Count Won Waldersee's Ger
man troops shows a desire to force the
powers to acquiesce to Germany's de-
mands which they are not inclined 10
do. Trouble between the British and
French soldiers at Tien Tsin continues

county, 25 miles off the railroad, says
that Mrs John Stallion and her two

VIM. Crabtree, have confessed to the
murder of Alice Stallion the pretty 10
year old daughter of the woman. Ac-
cording to the confession, the boys held
Alice while the mother broke her skull
with a poker. The body was then
thrown into the James river. There is
great excitement as a result of the con
fessiOns. and a lynching party may re-
suit within the next twent tsv-four hours.
Alice was to have been married to a
yoEng Illinois man. who fell in love
with her while on a hunting trip. Mrs.
Stallion was, it is said. jealous of her
step-daughter because of her beauty
