was used for the anti-maehine caucus
last night, was none too strong for the
strain put upon 1t. and there were words
of condemnation good and plenty for the

selecting a hall so unsafe for such
large gathering.

Kansas Worlds Fair Board Has a
Surplus on Hand.


Topeka, Dec. 1.-THE Kansas
Worlds Fair board expects to have
all of its work cleaned up by Deem
Der Is and a report filed. Senator
Morrow is now in st. Louis dispos-
ing of the odds and ends of the ex-
hibits, furniture and fixtures in the
Kansas building. Senator Crum, of
Garrett, bought the building for $500
and will tear it down and move it to
Garrett. The electric furnishings
brought $780, The furniture and 9TH
er fixtures have been sold "by the
piece"
Some of the exhibits have been
shipped to the agricultural college,
to the agricultural department, the
horticultural department and to the
academy of science. The school edu,
cational exhibit has been restored to
those who loaned it. Much of the
agricultural and horticultural exhib-
it was made up of perishable stuff
and is of no use to anybody.
The commissioners expect to turn
back into the treasury about $4,000
of their appropriation. This is a most
unusual thing. Such commissions
usually spend all that is appropriate
ed and then have some deficiencies
for the legislature to make up. Gov
ernor and Mrs. Bailey will entertain
the members of the commission and
their wives at the executive resi-
dence. on the evening of December

Queer Religion of japan.

The emperor and the empire, the
empire that is the people-these con-
stitute the real religion of Japan, the
great idea through the divine virtue
of which the Japanese have accounted
for themselves before the wondering
eyes of Christian world.
For his imperial majesty, Emperor
Mitsuhito, the little brown soldiers of
japan joyously die, and for him do the
thousands of bereaved ones suffer in
proud silence that dreams in great
peace of an afterward. And 1t is no:
weak Indifference they display, these
fearless ones; it is strength, the might
lest ever seen on earth.
By thousands they hear the grim
news that robs them Of all reason for
living, and by thousands they retreat
in splendid awe, tempered, bless Cod
by patriotic pride that has not its
equal under the shining sun. Grief in
visible racks the soul of Japan while
she marches proudly on with a joy

Accused Makes Confession.
Is Dated November

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-THE in
dictment on which Sasoneff, the as
sassin of Minister of the Interior Won
lice, will be tried on December Is,
is formidable document reciting the
history of the assassination plot and
details of the crime, and revealing
for the first time interesting facts
about the accused and confessions
made by them, winding up with the
formal charge.
The indictment says that Sasoneff
and Sikorifsky, after long Z refusal,
confessed, the former and the latter
as an accomplice. Sasoneff in his
confession declared that the fighting
organization aims to secure political
liberty, with the object of establish
ing socialism and the removal of the
existing regime by the destruction of
the most earnest servants of the
autocracy who are constantly the
worst enemies of the people" He
also stated that Pokatiloff, one of his
associates in the fighting organiza-
ton, had lost his life at the time of
the murder of Won Plheve.
The indictment states that the gov
eminent undertakes to prove the
case as recited by the production of
% witnesses. 1t will also place in
evidence publications of the social
revolutionary, Photographs of the Ho-
tel Du Nord explosion caused by
Pokatiloff, photograph of the scene
of the Won Pleheve murder, revolu-
tionary proclamations subsequently
issued, the police investigations at
Ufa, the proceedings in the trials of
the assassin of Minister Sipaguine
and of those who attempted the muir
der of Governor General Bogdano-
witch; the post mortem examinations
on the bodies of Won Plehve and his
coachman, and expert reports on the
explosives. The indictment con-
cludes:
'Sasoneff and Sikorifsky, for hav-
ing formed part in 1904 of a secret
society styling itself the fighting or
ganization of the Social Revolution
airy party, the avowed object where
of was to forcibly change the existing
form of government in Russia as es-
tablished by law, overthrow the ex-
listing statue of the empire and also
murder persons in Office by means
of explosives, the same Sasoneff hav-
ing, on June %, in st. Petersburg,
deprived Won P1ehve of life by
throwing an explosive engine filled
with dynamite, from the explosion of
which Won Plehve was killed and the
lives of others endangered, the coach
man being killed and injuries being
inflicted upon several others, but not
depriving them of life, said Sikorif
sky for having on the same day
agreed with the accused Sasoneff to-
gether to bring about the murder of
Won Plehve."
The indictment is dated November
Is and signed by the procurator of
the court of appeals. /

sleeve I should say it was bullet.
That kind of cloth does not show
blood saturation much, or l think we,
would have noticed it before. To
think of him sitting here all this time
with an arm too disabled to use, and
not alluding to it. Mary, you must
cut the sleeve away at once and at
tend to it."
The girls face had grown white
with sudden comprehension. She.
went quickly to Phillips, her gaze
steady and direct.
What is it?" she demanded.
But Phillips was equally steady, and
in his eyes was an impervious request
for silence. And she understood.
ut is nothing but what is liable to
happen at any moment to an adven-
turer like me-" he answered, land l
assure you it is not worth moments
uneasiness on your part. l would
much rather you had not noticed it;
but since you have, and to relieve any
possible anxiety, l will submit. But
please understand it was a mere acci-
dent, with no one to blame but my
self"
One afternoon, a month later, Phil
lips and Mary walked down from the
piazza, under the trees. The profess
sor was asleep in a reclining chair at
the far end of the piazza, paper over
his face. 1t was the first time Phil
lipps had left the house after a long,
serious fever which had followed his
wound. In Mary's eyes was tender,
surprised joy.

was afraid that-that-"
He turned his eyes away, gazing up
the valley, conscious of the flush that
was coming to her face. 1t was the
first time she had called him by that
name. There was joy in his own eyes.
81 shall always keep the bullet as
the direct cause Of my great happi-
ness, Mary" he said, with a low
laugh. 81 had counted on spending
the rest of my life in this wilderness,
for I love freedom. But the prospect
was never wholly satisfactory. Some
times the influence of the East came
over me, with longing for it's books,
and l had to fight the feeling away.
This valley now brings me the East,
with cultured people to talk to, and
with the freedom of the wilderness at
the very door. 1t is perfect combina-
tion-with you"

FARMERS IN The LEAD.
Flffy-NIne Of Them In The Kansas State
legislature.

Topeka, Dec. 12-The legislature
this winter will be composed of SO
farmers, SO business men, 81 law
yers, >19 bankers, 10 doctors, edi-
tors, capitalists, 2 mechanics,
school teacher, miner and 1 auc-
tioneer.
The farmers are strong in the
house, having fifty-f1ve members, but
they are weak in the senate, having
only four. Some of the bankers in
the senate are also farmers, or, rath-
er, agriculturists, but banking is
their chief business. The house has
eighteen lawyers and the senate
nine. The house has twenty-six bust
ness men and the senate nine By
business men" is meant those who
are engaged in merchandising,
wholesaling, contracting and the like.
In the house the farmers can COM
bine with the lawyers, business men
or doctors and control things. But
no other class of men can combine
with any one other class and control.
If combine is to be made against
the farmers in the house on any
proposition it will take four other
classes to get majority. In the SEN
ate business men predominant. They
can combine with either the lawyers
or the bankers and control by a ma
jority of one. But to beat the bust
ness men out on a proposition three
other classes will have to combine
The farmers don't hold much power
in the senate
Editors are not very numerous.
There are three in the house and two
in the senate. The house has one
miner to do the digging, eight doctors
to heal the wounds inflicted on the
floor and an auctioneer to close the
house out in case it becomes worth
less. The senate has two doctors to
heal the wounded there and couple
of capitalists to bank on, in case of
financial stringency. There is not
preacher in either branch. So it
will be necessary to hire chaplains.
