OUR STATE CAPITOL LETTER
DOINGS OF THE
KANSAS
STATE OFFICERS.
A Brief Resume of What Our
"Hired Men" Are Doing, How
They Spend Their Time, Etc.
Stubs Names State Prison Board.

The state prison board, created by
the last legislature, has been appoint
ed by Governor Stubs and is made
up as follows: Joseph Hazen, Pitts
burg; Thomas Morgan, Ottawa, and
e. E. Mullaney, Hill City.
The Morgan and Mulllaney appoint
ments are really appointments, al
though the board is new one. Null
laney has served on the state peni-
Tertiary board for several years and
Thomas Morgan has served on the
state reformatory board for the last
four years. These two boards were
abolished by the last legislature and
the new board created. The new
board has jurisdiction over both the
reformatory and the state penitentl-
airy. Heretofore there has been a
board of three men for each institu-
ton.
The legislature made no appropria-
ton for the per diem and expenses of
the members of the prison board.
However, it made appropriations for
the two old boards. This money will
revert to the stae treasury because the
old boards were abolished and the new
board will have to pay its own eX-
penses and work without pay, pending
the action of the next legislature.
Mr.. Hazen, the new man on the
board, Is from the mining district in
the southeastern part of the state and
was probably appointed because of his
mining knowledge. The state con-
ducts extensive coal mines at the pen
itentiary and expert knowledge along
this line will be valuable asset to
the board.

FOR GUM ONE YEAR $2O.OOO,OOO
For Foreign Missions $4,000, 900

Liquor 81 1900 100000.

Topeka, Kansas.-Dr S. J. Crum.
bine, secretary of the state board OF
health, told the Topeka Presbyterian
Missionary society that four times as
much money is spent for chewing gum
as is spent for foreign missionary
work.
In one year." DR.. Crumbine said,
There is $2O,OOO,OOO spent for gum
in the United States, as compared
with $5,OOO,OOO spent for foreign mis-
sions. The amount spent for liquor
greatly exceeds that spent for either
missions or gum, as this amount is
$1,200,000,000 in one year. The amount
spent for tobacco in one year is $780,
100000.
The United States spent yearly a
sum of $165,OOO,OOO for the public
schools and for the extension of the
Christian work an annual amount Of
$1O0,O00,000 is expended"

You Never Can Tell.

A certain 'cellist was once snow
bound for three hours at a small rail
road station. He unpacked his cello
and played his dozen fellow sufferers
a request program with the result that
one of them took him to Europe for a
year. You never can tell as you bear
your precious fiddle-case through the
streets what magic easement may not
open on the foam (of steins), and
what fairy hand may not beckon you
within to do the one thing needful to
opus fifty-nine, or draw valiant bow

PAID 100000 FOR LORIMER
ILLINOIS INVESTIGATING CON-
MlTTEE GETS FACTS.
Kohlsaat Said Funk Told Him and
His Information Came From {.
c. Hines.

Springfield, H., April 6.-H. II,
Kohlsaat told the senate bribery in
vestigating committee that Clarence
S Funk, general manager of the Inter
national Harvester Company, was the
man who told him that slush fund or
100000 was put up to elect William
Lorimer to the United States Senate,
To the first question of Attorney j..
J. Healy, Mr.. Kohlsatt identified tele-
gram sent by him to Chairman Helm,
saying his confidant called at the Rec
ord-Herald Office and was willing to
appear before the committee.
when | arrived at my office Mr..
Clarence Funk called and told me he
would be less than man If he held
me to my confidence" testified Mr..
Kohlsaat.
Il met Mr.. Funk on Jackson Boule
ward about thirty days after the con
fession of White, while on my way 10
the Chicago Club. He did not seek
me out at all
"Mr. Funk told me the man who
came to him told him they had an op
portunity TO elect Lorimer with fund
of 100000. They sent it down and Mr.
Funk told me they were looking for
reimbursements."
Mr.. Funk was the next witness called.
He said he had been with the company
nine years. His attention was called
to a conversation with Edward c.
Hines shortly after the Lorimer cleo
ton. The witness said:
THE conversation took place in the
Union League Club. 1t was an acct
dental meeting. He said he had been
waiting to see me and we sat in the
lounging room.
Hines said to me without prelimi-
nary, We'll, we put Lorimer over, but
it cost us 100000 to do it. We had to
act quickly so that it became necessary
for us to put up the money. Now, we
are seeing some of our friends to get
it fixed up.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD b
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi.
cation will be treated in strict confidence.
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laXatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
aiment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l had my way 1 would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach.
setting up serious forms of indigestion.
and so paralyze the bowels that they rN
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-.
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

MADE HIS ESCAPE IN TIME
Metaphors of Millionaire Found No Re.
Spouse in the Breast of the
Farmer.

The millionaire accepted the farm
er's cordial invitation to ride, and with
much scrambling gained a seat on top
of the hay.
MY good man." said the millionaire,
patronizingly, this swaying, rolling,
sweet-scented divan Is a couch upon
which l could win slumber and be ir-
resistible to the arms of Morpheus
whenever | courted sweet sleep"
The farmer stiffened. "Ill hear no
more of your talk; I'm a respectable
married man, an I'll ask you where
you're goin' so l can avoid the place."
Dreamily the millionaire smiled.
I'm getting back to Mother Nature,
who has been outraged and abused by
me for years; l am broken man,
and she will forgive me and bring me
back to health"
The farmer stopped the team and
pulled three-tined pitchfork from
the brace socket-but his passenger
was gone.-Success Magazine.

35 NEW LAWS. PASSED.
OF the 335 Bills Enacted Into Laws
an Even 800 Were Repeats, Amend
ments and Appropriations.

The recent Legislature worked for
sixty days. 1t took something like
$4,000 to pay the wages and mileage
of the members. Nearly 1000 bills
were introduced in the two houses,
yet there are but thirty-five new
laws that were passed by the last leg.
slature That is what the secretary
of state has found out by looking
through the list.
Only thirty-five of the laws passed
by the legislature are on new SUBJ
jects Only that number that do not
amend or repeal so ne old law. All
this excludes the 100 appropriation
bills, which of course are new, and
are necessary. The charge has been
made frequently that all one legisla'
lures does is to repeal or amend the
laws of past legislatures The record
that Secretary of State Sessions has
dug up appears to bear out that
charge.
The total number of laws passed at
the last session was 335. OF these
100 related to appropriations OF the
remaining 1886, 200 either repeal or
amend old laws. This leaves but 80
new laws that do not in any way
change existing laws. The last leg
islature does not stand alone In this
respect. 1t is true of almost every
legislature. They meet, introduce
couple of thousand bills at each SEES,
sion, pass about a fifth of them and
send them to the governor. He trims
out some of them and the net result
is small as compared with the work
the legislature started to do. The
great majority of laws passed at every
session either amend or repeal some
old laws and very few of them are
ever upon entirely new subjects.
Such sessions as the last one, when
whole book full of bills have been
amended or repealed, make hard work
for the lawyer He must put in some
hard study in order to know what
laws have been repealed and what
amended. In order to make it easier
for the lawyer to find out exactly
what old laws have been amended or
repealed the secretary of state will
include in the new session laws, in
the general index, a list Of the laws
amended or repealed.

Some Are Not Satisfied.

1t is too late to remedy the matter,
but persons interested in the building
of the Memorial hall now fear that a
poor selection was made when the
present site was chosen. The site is
a good one so far as convenience is
concerned, but the Santa Fe Railway
company has spoiled it with a ten
story building. The interested per
sons say that tall building looming up
behind the Memorial building will
make the latter look "squatty"
