Kansas Legislature Assembled

Topeka, Kan. Jan. S-The opening Of
this session Of the legislature is devoid
/ Of any excitement whatever. The crowd
at the Copeland is Iistlsss. The collapse
Of the senatorial contest is responsible
for this condition That a senator should
be nominated by caucus without con-
test, and instead Of a fight there should
be a veHtable love feast Is SO out Of line
and without precedent thar nearly every
body, members as well as strikers, are
simply limp.
The Baker crowd are of their feet
They are sailing around somewhere be
tween the Capitol dome and the pave
ment. But do not get the idea into your
head that the story that the senator s
+ friends went back on him; that they sold
him out, is uue. Ia the language OF the
Hon. Michael sutton, Baker simply went
( back on himself. He never made polit-

CHAPTER XIV.

A bar of sunlight suddenly pervaded
the room-red sunlight-lighting in it's
passing a tableau l shall never forget.
Gretchen stood at her full height, her
arms held closely to her sides and her
hands clinched. On her face there was
that half smile called consciousness Of
triumph. Hillars was gazing at her
with his soul swimming in his eyes.
And IL had wild desire to throw
myself at her feet then and there.
Over the hard set visage Of the inn
keeper the bar of sunlight travelled,
over the scowling countenance Of the
prince. over the puzzled brow Of the
count, and, going, left golden purple
in it's wake, which imperceptibly deep

quarter Of an hour passed. Then we
could see another horse. perhaps half
mile away, coming toward the inn at
a canter. From what could see in the
pale light, the horse carried a double
burden. A sheet Of ice seemed to fall
on my heart. What had happened?
Had Dan and the prince come to
blows? Alas, I could have cried out in
anguish at the sight which finally met
my gaze. The innkeeper held the reins,

Miss Jane Williams, who died last Monday evening, after lingering ill- ness, was buried yesterday afternoon from her parents residence. 142 View street Rev w. F. Dickernlan conduct ed the services. The house was filled with mourning friends and acquaint- ances of the deceased. Beautiful floral tributes attested the esteem in which Miss Williams was held. Reverend MT. Dickerman spoke feelingly of the excel lent traits of character of the deceased and her patience and fortitude during the weary months of her illness. Ev- erything that parents and friends could do to alleviate her sufferings was done but all efforts to stay the progress of the malady-consumptio un- availing and day by day she grew weaker until at last she sunk to sleep and passed through the gates into life eternal. She is survived by her parents, MT. and Mrs. David Williams and also four brothers. The interment was in Westville cemetery.
