Senate Standing Committees.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 10.-It will cost
s3,999,61S.S5 to run the state of Kan
sas during the next two years, ac-
cording to estimates prepared by
State Auditor Cole. Heretofore the
legislators have started in to appro-
pirate money, with no figures to
guide them. This time the state
auditor and the governor called the
heads of the various departments
and boards before them and got their
estimates. Then they pared down
the wants as much as possible and
the auditor fixed up the estimates to
submit to the legislature. There will
be no lobbies from state institutions
hanging around this time, the Of
hcials having been ordered to stay at
home. No provision is made for the new
asylum at Parsons. A recapitulation
Of the estimates for improvements,
maintenance and salaries for the va
rlous departments, boards and insti-
tutlonS for the two wears follows.

Reciprocity Treaties.

And now it is said that the reciproc-
ity treaties, some IL or IA in number,
which Mr.. Kasson has painfully nego-
tiated are doomed. The republicans
themselves will kill those treaties in

ator has some personal Interest"
which would be unfavorably affected
treaties will probably mark the end of
the late Mr.. Blaine's project for the
next half century. If the republicans
continue in power they will maintain
high protection. If the democrats are
in control they will enact a revenue
tariff. In either case reciprocity will
have no chance.-Chicago Chronicle.

a notorious bank robber and murder
er. from the Kansas penitentiary,
where he was sent few months ago
to serve a life sentence, revives in
terest in escapes made by other con-
victs in years past. That many of the
convicts are not exactly satisfied with
prison life and are willing to take
French leave, even at the risk Of los
ing their lives, is evidenced by the
fact that over 20 have escaped from
the Kansas prison alone since 1886.
Twenty-six were recaptured. OF the
20 who escaped during the past IS

sorted to by the bears were regarded
as questionable by the board of trade

Last November, alone and unaided
and comparatively unknown on the

grain spectators and signally routed

Young Phillips is only 80 years of
age and owing to his smooth shaved
face and boyish appearance looks still
younger. He is a native of Morris,
Ills, where his father is q dealer in
grain and owns an elevator. After
working for the latter, in 1856 he went
to Chicago and became clerk in the
office of the grain receiver of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad. His duties
there made it imperative for him to
acquire a thorough knowledge of grain
and of those who deal in it. 1t is said
by those who know young Phillips
personally that not a man in the coun-
try knows more about grain than he
does. He became an expert weigher
of cereals and gained the reputation Of
being the best weigher in, the Windy
City.
Phillips made his appearance on the
Chicago board of trade in 1892. Until
his corner" of last November he con
fined himself to small deals. Young
Phillips is married and lives with his
wife and three small children in a
cozy, unpretentious little one story cot
tage in Chicago suburb.

the principal feature of which is new
