A LIONEL '" TIME.


 Two Atchison girls are attending school in Washington. Recently they were taken to q presidential reception at the White house by Congressman Mont Cochran of the Fourth Missouri district. sI never felt so proud and naughty In my life as when our man slammed the carriage door and called out The White House!'' writes one of the damsels in letter which finds it's way to us. When we reached the White house, there was stream of carriages four blocks long There were so many on the inside that we had to stand on the portico over half an hour It was so jammed where we waited that when got one foot up, couldn't put it down. When the doors finally opened the crush was awful, and I lost a very much prized belt buckle However, was thankful to get in with my clothes still on. The president was very cordial. but as homely as ever. don't like to criticise my hosts. but I do believe President and Mrs Roosevelt are the plainest people ever saw in my life. It was the diplomatic reception, and I never saw such gor- geOuS uniforms or such beautiful gowns in my life The east room is simply a fairyland at these receptions It is so large, and the chandeliers are so beautiful, and the quaint old fash toned pictures, and the magnificent floral decorations, and the gay. bril- liant crowd, make an impression not soon forgotten Just outside of the east room was a large band, and at the opposite end of the main corridor was the Marine band, stationed just inside the conservatory. It was the loveliest of all to walk through the long, cool conservatory, with the Ma rine band playing. We were presented to dear old Admiral Dewey. He is the incest man I know, with one or two exceptions. He has such charming manners and actually thanked Mir Cochran for the honor (ahemD of meeting us! T met a num- Der of girls from our school. Also, Mrs Mcclure, the Kansas City news paper woman who attended the Pome- roy reception in Atchison. Mir Coch- ran took us to Haryey's after the re- ception for supper, and was lovely to us. Mir Cochran is going to take us to call on the Chinese minister ard Mrs Wu. She is going to have dance at the National, and we are to be in- vited, and simply must have a new gown and long one. I simply won't be seen in short dresses any longerl'-- Atchison Globe.

conclusion that under present condi- lions were Washington still with us his finely balanced judgment would decide that in our generation at least such use of wealth would not be the best.
 "One of the most serious objections and one which I could not overcome was that another university might tend to weaken existing universities. My de- sire was to cooperate with all educa- tional institutions and establish what would be source of strength and not of weakness to them, and the idea of a Washington university or of anything of a memorial character was therefore abandoned.
 Tt cost some effort to push aside the tempting idea of Washington uniyer- sity founded by Andrew Carnegie. which the president of the Womans George Washington Memorial associa- Eion was kind enough to suggest.
 'Gentlemen, your work begins, your aims are high. You seek to extend known forces and to discover and util- Is.e new forces for the benefit of man. Than this there can scarcely be greater work. I wish you abundant success and venture to prophecy that through your efforts in cooperation with those of kindred societies in our country contributions to the advancement of the race through research will compare in the near future not unfavorably with those of any other land. Again I thank you.'
 The desG itself recites in substance, as follows:
 '"That Andrew Carnegie deems 1t his duty and highest privilege to admins ter the wealth which has come to him as a trustee in behalf of others, and, entertaining the belief that the best means of discharging that trust is by extending the opportunities for study and research in our country, he trans fers to the trustees named $10,O00,OOO of registered per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation" After accepting the deed of gift the trustees proceeded to adopt bylaws and then elected the following officers: Chairman of the board of trustees, Abram s. Hewitt: vice chairm. Il. Dr. J. 5. Billings; secretary, Charles D. Wal cott. Dr. Daniel c. Gilman, late of Johns Hopkins university, was elected president of the Carnegie institution. The board then adjourned for the day.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Mr. Hales, the correspondent of The Daily Express in Berlin, predicts that should peace eventuate in South Africa commercial Germany will sweep down upon South Africa and enGeayor to divert it's trade to Germany. There is no doubt, says Mr. Eales, that the Germans will leave no stone unturned to take the fruits of the war from Great Britain. Mr Hales prophecies that the German invasion of South Africa will eclipse the rush of Germans to America fifty years ago.

Since the Kiowa and Wichita reser- vations were opened up there has been tremendous influx of wild animals into the Indian territory. Game of all kinds abounds, and the settlers who had long since ceased to hunt as a
 means of livelihood are returning to the chase. Among the animals classed as "yarmints'' by far the most numer- ous and dangerous are the wild hogs, which are simply overrunning the val ley of the Illinois river. Several have

AGAINST VOTING CONTESTS.
An Unavailing Protest Regarding
Policemen Taking Part.

j. e McKahan secretary of the News
Printing Company, the publishers of little
sheet issued three times day, and brought
out recently in competition with the orig-
nal publication of that character estab-
lished here some years ago, has written to
the Commissioners asking that Maj. Rich
ard Sylvester, the superintendent of police,
be required to rescind order recently
issued by him prohibiting lieutenants of the
police force from being In any way con-
nected with prize voting contest con-
Quoted by the sheet. AS a means of in
creasing its circulation it seems the News
started a voting contest for the most popu-
lar police lieutenant, Offering a gold watch
as the prize. When the attention of Maj.
Sylvester was called to the matter he
issued the order above referred to.
The News people state that a local news
paper carried out the same sort of scheme
sonic fair did the same, and that nearly
every fair donates something to be voted
for the most popular policeman. They
think they have been Disseminated against
and desire relief.
A copy of Major Sylvester's order will be
sent to the writer's, and also copies of other
orders issued by the late Col. William G.
Moore, chief of police. in relation to just
such contest, in which he forbade the
police from taking any part
In returning the communication to the
Commissioners Major Sylvester states that
he is fully aware of the nature Of the COM
plant In this case. II found" saws he,
that members of my force were engaged in
getting these coupons. and l learned that
some of them would make inquiries at diff
ferent places for copies of the publication
with view to obtaining the coupons. None
of the lieutenants Of the police force gave
their permission. nor were they cognizant Of
the fact that their names were being used
in any competition, and they were there
fore innocent subjects for criticism.
"A copy of the order issued by me is in
cember H. 1894, the Commissioners en-
phatically ordered that such practices
should not prevail. Again under date of
September II, 1894, the then superintendent
of police issued an order to the force
which would prevent any member procur-
ing votes and casting them In such a COM
petition, and which would also prevent the
acceptance OF prizes Of this kind; as all
was calculated to engender petty jealous
les. detrimental alike to the discipline and
the efficiency of the force, as well as to
give annoyance to the citizens OF the Dis
trict. The recent order was issued after a
conference with the Commissioners and in
conformity with printed orders of the
board, as well as Of the superintendent of
police
Major Sylvester adds that the voting at
the Masonic fair was by the permission of
voted a library to the sixth police precinct
for general use and benefit of the men
there.
The Commissioners will forward Major
Sylvester's report as their reply to the COM
plaint.

FILES A COMPLAINT.
Local Contractor Said to Have Dump
ed Inflammable Material.

George Truesdell recently wrote to the
District Commissioners saying a resident of
lexington has called his attention to the
fact that the contractor for removing ashe3
is now engaged in dumping ashes filled
with papers and inf1ammable ma terial or
the property south Of r street along the
line Of 4th street, lexington. He asked
that the dumping be stopped with as little
delay as possible. The Commissioners Will
reply to Mr.. Truesdell saying that the
records show the ash contractor, r. v.
Rusk. addressed a communication to the
Commissioners the 4th instant asking per-
mission to reopen the dump in the vicinity
of Daish's mill, for the purpose Of deposit
ing clean ashes and earth thereon, upon
condition that he fence it in and place
reliable man in charge
After an examination by the superin-
tendent of street cleaning the Commits
sioners continue, 1.-The permission was
given, with the understanding that If the
conditions under which the permit was is
sued were not observed the permit would
be revoked. The records also show that
before the contractor dumped anything on
the property Superintendent Stutler sent his
chief inspector to investigate the condition
of the dump, and he reported that some
private party had dumped two loads Of pa
per on the property, which may have led
your informant to the conclusion that it
had been dumped there by the contrac-
tors. Since the later first commenced
to dump there. an inspector has Wis
tied the locality daily and reports that
SO far the contractor has hauled nothing
but clean ashes on to the property The
health officer has always maintained that
clean ashes do not create a nuisance. Di-
rection has been given that the dump in
question shall be inspected daily, and if
the contractor violates his agreement by
placing upon the dump any paper or other
combustlble material or Objectionable mat
ter, the permission which has been accorded
will be revoked

DECISION AGAINST HIM.
David Smith Fined $50 for Il1-Treat-
ing His Wife.

David r. Smith, an employee Of the DIS
trict who resides at 61S L street southeast,
was convicted in the Police Court today Of
assaulting his wife, and will have to pay a
fine of $40. imposed by Judge Kimball, or
spend two months in Jail as the equivalent.
Mrs. Smith recited to the court that she
is employed at the mail bag repair shop of
the Post Office Department and that Mon
day afternoon OF last week her husband
told her that he had been to her place of
employment for the purpose Of having her
discharged, and that he then ill-treated her
to such an extent that she was under the
care of physician for several days. In
answer to a question by the court Mrs.
Smith said that her husband pushed her
into a corner. choked her and scratched her
left hand in addition to shaking her in q
violent manner.
In his own behalf Smith denied emphati-
cally that he had ill-treated his wife in any
way. and declared that she attacked him
with Ratchet. and the only thing he did
was to take 1t from her. The court, how
ever, decided that the charge had been SUBJ
Stimulated and acted as stated.
