AT ST. MARYS.
General Delivers Address on
the tissues

st. Marys. Kan, April 29.=Attorney
General Fred S. Jackson, candidate for
congressman from the Fourth district,
to succeed Congressman F. NJ. Miller
in his speech here today spoke of his
opponent in the following manner:
Il understand" said Mr.. Jackson,
that the said congressman from Kan
sas, including my opponent, Mr.. Miller,
who term themselves regulars and
who have been supporting Speaker
Cannon in the memorable struggle
which has been going on IN congress
to restore to the representatives in
congress their constitutional right to
represent theapeople, now assert that
there is a difference between the 'regu-
lars and the 'standpatters'; that they
are regulars, but not stand patters, like
such men as Aldrich and Hale and
Dalzell and Cannon. But let these men
point out the difference by referring to
the roll call on the votes in congress
on the issues where the American peo-
pie are interested. Let them show
why it was they voted with Cannon
and Tammany Democrats to maintain
the old rules of the house of repre-
sentatives. Let them show why it was
they voted to pass a tariff bill as it
came from the house committee with
out any provision for a tariff commits
sion, and why they now claim that a
tariff commission is the only true solu-
ton of the tariff question"
Speaking further of the Reed rules
But I want you to know when your
Republican congressman come home
attired in party regularity clothes,
that their new party suits are only
soiled Democratic linen exhumed from
the dishonored and deserted grave
yard of Democratic failures.
Let no one assume that the de-
Tense of the present system is a de-
Tense of the Reed rules for which the
Republicans were, responsible. The
Reed rules were adopted as a result
of the national Republican platform
when promised revision of the rules
that would give the right of a major
ity of congress to transact business
They provided that the speaker could
count a quorum when a quorum was
present and also that the speaker
should not allow certain filibuster-
ing notions. The Reed rules denied
the right of a minority to obstruct
legislation. The present system gives
the speaker the right to obstruct leg
islation and to deny the majority the
power to pass laws which the people
of the country have voted for

JULIANA'S BIRTHDAY.
Celebration in Honor of the Princess
AwakenS Roosevelt.

The Hague April 30.-Mr. Roosevelt
was awakened this morning by the
singing of Hollands national hymn by
bands of cadets, who passed through
the square overlooking which are the
The singers were acclaiming the birth
Emma Marie Wilhelmina- The royal
baby is one year old today, and the
capital made a holiday Of the anniver-
sary.
For some moments the Roosevelts
from the windows of their rooms
watched the scene as the students
paraded and groups of gaily be-sashed
school children on their way to out CT
town picnics, trooped by.
Occasionally the students substituted
the tune of Yankee Doodle for the
national anthem, but they did not at
tempt the words of the American song.
Hundreds of people waited patiently
in the vicinity of the Roosevelt apart
ments to catch a glimpse of the Amer1-
can, in whom they feel a sense of pos
session as he has proclaimed himself
as of their race. Every man, woman
and child in the throng wore a daisy,
the name flower of Juliana and when
Mr.. Roosevelt appeared wearing
daisy on his coat the Hollanders fairly
went wild with delight. The flowers
are sold in the streets by young women,
the proceeds going to public charities
Mr.. Roosevelt called on Minister Of
Foreign Affairs Van Swinderwin and
subsequently was received by the queen
mother

Dixie TO Be BUILT.
Judge Dana Upholds South Side AS
sesSment View.

Judge Dana of the district court, held
this morning that the county commits
sioners Of Shawnee county were right
in their attempts to assess the prop
erty adjacent to the proposed dixie on
the south side Of the Kaw river. The
attempts of the state to enjoin the
commissioners from making this as
sessment were not successful and
Judge Dana decided that the action of
the county commissioners would be
regular and justifable by law. 1t is
said, however that the state will APP
peal and the matter will be taken to
the supreme court.
The proposed South side dixie along
the Kansas river from above the Rock
Island bridge to the Santa Fe bridge
was to have been built of concrete and
would have cost about $125,000. About
8 per cent of the property owners in
the benefit district opposed the action
of the county commissioners in assess
ing for, and building this dixie and they
filed injunction proceedings in the dis
trict court.
The city of Topeka was a party to
the suit for injunction. The city did
not want to paw for this dixie across
the city park. If the decision of Judge
Dana is upheld the county commits
sioners will build the dixie across the
park of the dirt excavated from under
the Melan bridge and from the cut off
of the park This will practically make
the dirt cost nothing to the city as 1t
will cost at least $4,000 TO remove this
dirt
The attorneys for the state were ].

county commissioners were Doran &s

In 1893 the mercury climbed to 81
degrees. Only once in May has there
been hotter weather than reported
yesterday; that was in March of 1895
and 1909. On both these occasions
the mercury climbed to So degrees.
Eack of the next driest April on rec
ord is the 6riest March and with one
exception the dryest month on record.
The precipitation for the last two
months being only 10 inches.

clear days, II partly cloudy days and
five clear DAYS The prevailing wind

pany and table of vital statistics are
included.
