 One of my opponents in one of his fre1zer moments- which generally occur in such so-called joint campaign does me the injustice to ayow my inability to write or declainl a speech. /. As to writing my speech this is wholly untrue, for my speeches have sprung alone from my own brain and have the ring of my own heart But as to declaim- ing well, am not a political spell binder nor haveI caged the eagle of eloqHence. I am merely ] giving plain remedies for plain evils, speaking every day in my own plain way to the plain people and reaching their plain honest hearts in the plainest manner 1 do not have to dress my speech in furbelows to reach their honest understanding. Thos. Jefferson, the father of Demo cracy, was noted for not making speeches, and Elias Conway, one of the best governors Arkansas ever had, never did make speech, but the world is better that they once lived.
 When tell the people in my Iplain way that dishonest contrac- tors, in building the state capi- tol, have robbed the state, and back this statement with clinch- ing facts, it reaches the hum blest intellect, and does not need the glowing, burning iron of elo- quence to scar it on the brain. When 1 tell the people in my plain way that an eight hundred thousand dollar appropriation bill, carrying with it twenty five thousand dollars to the com miss l ion, was attempted to be bribed through the legislature; that my timely interference prevented it, ] then the feelings of the commis- sion may be hurt, and Caldwell 6 Drake may find that they have to dance to the music of the swan song. The plain naked facts are vile enough to be hidden, but do not need the drapery of high sounding language to obscure them. ] PEOPLE EDUCATION PLATFORM :.

FOWLS ON ice 10 YEARS
Officer WhiGs Stale Poultry and Con-
fiscates Wagon Load.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Thirteen years ago
2sl chickens met a sudden and violent
storage plant and until today had rest
ed in peace. Then they We're dragged
forth from their cold and clammy
quarters, loaded into a wagon and I'M
der the watchful care of S. Dellheim.
674 West Fourteenth street, were driven
out into the world for sale at the cheap
restaurants.
Solomon Van Praag, chief restaurant
inspector, was standing at Clark and
Madison streets talking with a friend
when DellheiIn drove by with his wagon
load of chickens. Dellheim in trying
to obey the rules of the road made a
false move which landed him into trou-
BILE. He drove to the windward side
of the restaurant inspector.
Van Praag's olfactory nerves quiv-
cred for an instant under the sudden
shock and then flashed q MESA ge to the
brain that was reposing calmly under
Soils" derby. Quicker than light trav-
els Van Praag jumped into the street
and after staring wildly about him for
an instant located the cause of his dis
quiet. BY this time there was almost
panic in the shopping district.
o Automobiles We're at standstill'
pid enemy which had dared invade their
particular field. Strong men were grow
ing pale and were rushing madly
through swinging doors and calling for
reViving drinks.
Weak women We're. seeking shelter
and little children were left deserted
and crying in the streets.
By this time the undaunted restau-
rant inspector had jumped to the wagon
and had seized the driver by the collar.
What have youAgot in your wagon?"
shouted the city official.
Chickens said Deilheim in a sur.
prised tone.
Drive to the city laboratory at
gallop,' said Van Praag and he applied
a whip to the horse. When the wagon
drew up in front of the Galbraith build
ing medical man was called. After
he had examined zach chicken he said
that life was quite extinct. Where
were they disoovered-in glacial
drift?'' asked the DOCTOR.
The driver of the wagon then produc-
ed a receipt which showed that the
chickens were not prehistoric and there
fore were of no use to any of the uni
Versities. The receipt showed that they
had been purchased of Moses Gray e.
Co, 251 South Water street. Four gal
Ions of good kerosene was ruined by
being poured over. the chickens. DELL
helm then was allowed to drive home.
Inspector Van Praa2 said he would get
out warrant fo~ Dellheim and the
commission men who sold him the
chickens today. The chickens are said
to have been sold Tor 2 cents a pond

WILL PLAY HASKELL.
Washburn Arranges for a Football
Game With Indians.

Washburn and Haskell university
football teams will play in Topeka Oc-
tober 20, 1907. This will be the first
meeting of the two teams in three
years. Arrangements to this end were
completed yesterday.
The Haskell team used to be the fore
most team in the Missouri valley and
were generally credited with the cham
pionsh1p. However, during the last two
or three years Haskell has been boy
cotted by the college teams in the state
on account of their playing professionals
in their teams. This was the secret of
the success of Haskell of old. Archi-
quette, the Hausers, Felix, and many
others familiar in football were mem
bers of the team and all received in
some form or other remuneration for
their services.
However, when the leading schools
placed the boycott on Haskell, the stars
of the team went to other Indian
schools. The Carlisle team which had
made up in part of ex-HaskeH stars
who were playing under different
names. Others of the old Haskell guard
went to Chillocco where they are now
playing.
The result was that Haskell without
the presence of the professional play
ers were forced into the background.
Since the season of 1904 when they won
Nebraska by score of IA to the team
has been one of the minor teams of the
state. ~ 80
However, all indicate seem to point
out a team of the former glory of the
Indians to uphold the standard of Has
ken next year. superintendent PEARS
of the Haskell school was in Topeka
yesterday and. in conference with Man
ager Stahl drew up agreements for the
game next season. Mr.. PEARS said that
the Haskell team would be a better
one next year than ever before in it's
history. They have engaged the ser
vices of one of the big stars of the
gridiron but as yet are not ready to di-
vulge his name, This star will have
the entire coaching of the team and
Haskell hopes next year to have a
winning team. The team will be COM
posed of men who are in good stand
ing at the school and the game will be
played by Haskell under strictly col
lege conference rules. Their team will
not be a heavy one but will be light
and fast as is characteristic of Indian
teams.
Haskell has scheduled several other
college games for next season. They
will play the Aggies at Manhattan
shortly before they play Washburn.
However, they will make no overtures
with Kansas university with view of
playing them We are not unwilling
to play Kansas" said Mr.. PEARS yes
terday but they broke off relations
with us in a very discourteous manner
in 1905 and they must be the first to
make overtures, if they want a game
with u.s.

A SHEET OF ICE.
1t Covers Missouri. Kansas and the
Neighboring Territories.

Kansas City. Mo. Jan. 17.-Missouri.
practically all of Kansas, and the north
ern half of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory are covered with sheet of ice and
snow, according to weather bureau and
railroad reports received here this
morning Nearly an inch of rain has
fallen in the past Sc hours. continuing
up to this morning. and this has been
followed by freezing weather.
The principal damage has been to
telegraph, telephone and trolley wires
In Kansas City today street car service
was interrupted on many lines, while
wire communication in all directions,
principally north from here, was i'm
peded. the weight of ice having carried
down wires and poles by the score.
Trains into Kansas City We're reported
delayed from one to three hours, those
from the east and north suffering the
most serious delay. The northern half
of Missouri seems to have borne the
brunt Of the storm.

SHEATHED IN ICE.
Last Nights Storm Makes Travel of
All Kinds Difficult.

Last night was probably one of the
most peculiar nights ever experienced
in Topeka. For several days there has
been cloudy weather which has had a
depressing effect but this was nothing
compared with the storm of last night
There has been but forty hours of clear
weather this year and seventeen days
have now passed by.
Wednesday afternoon rain COM
menced to fall The atmosphere was
rain fell it Immediately froze. This was
what started the trouble.
The street railway company were the
worst sufferers from the frozen rain.
The rain would freeze on the rails
which made the track slippery. In addi-
ton the ice collected on the trolley
wires so that the current was shut off.
to climb the hills and on account of
the slippery condition of the rails 1T
was hard to stop the cars on a down hill
stretch. The ice on the trolley wires
where it did not offer complete resist
ance to the flow of the electric current
offered sufficient resistance to cause a
display of fireworks which somewhat
resembled arc lights. This was due to
the current passing through the ice.
At the transfer station all the Off
Gals of the street railway company
were working overtime in an effort to
running off their schedule and no at
tempts were made to keep up any
schedule on any of the lines. All the
street railway officials could do was
to send out a car now and then on the
different lines. The traffic was greatly
augmented by the Midwinter crowd and
the people who had witnessed the per-
Torrance of the Clansman at the Grand.
On the South Topeka line great diff
Guilty was experienced in getting the
cars to run at all on account of the
amount of frozen ice clinging to the
wires on this line. Only after placing
a man on the car to knock the ice off
the wires were they able to make any
progress on this line.
A great deal of difficulty is also be-
ing experienced by the telephone COM
panies with their lines especially their
toll lines. However, the companies were
all prepared and the damage will not
amount to very much.
The rain which began Wednesday af-
ternoon and continued nearly all night
neted a precipitation of SO of an inch.
The lowest temperature was twenty
seven degrees but this together with
the fact there was practically no wind
was sufficient to cause the rain to
freeze.
The trains from the west are quite
late which would indicate that the
storm has extended westward.

tBy AssocIated Press. J


Washington, Dec. 26.-Not since
the day preceding the passage of the
personel bill ten years ago has the
feeling between the line ard staff of
the navy been so acute as today as
result of the refusal of Admiral
Brownson to transmit orders from
his superior officer. the president of
the United States, assigning naval
surgeon on command of vessels in
the navy, the specific assignment be-
Ing the command of the hospital yes
sci which was to accompany the bat

AT that time Mr.. Roosevelt, then
assistant secretary of the navy, acted
the part of a pacificator. and sue
ceeded in bringing the two warring
factions together in support of legis-
lation which for a decade has served
to maintain peace between the two
factions of the navy.
In the present instance, however.
the efforts of President Roosevelt to
reconcile the surgeons and line Of
iicers has failed, and 1t is probable
that the whole matter will be
threshed out in congress. This Is
much deprecated by both sides as

Boise. Ida, Dee. 30.-Judge Wood
this morning denied the motions of

a verdict of acquittal be advised by
the court.
The judge reviewed the indcpend-
cnt testimony on each of the crimes
confessed by Orchard, and said:

contcnded for by the prosecution, and
l think that the independent testi-

require its submission to the jury"
Judge Wood stated that no indie
pendent testimony had been pro-
duced connecting the defendant with
the killing of Steuncnbcrg. except
that which tended to show his con-
nection with the conspiracy, but this
he considered sufficient TO cause him
