have to be admitted that his provoca-

age man of peppery proclivities could
stand without taking a iab at some
one.
This Pittsburg manual training
school is liable to cause a rupture in
the Republican ranks which can not
be remedied by local applications The
Pfttsburg delegation came here with
the avowed intention of separating
their institution from the managem ent
of Emporia and the Emporia bunch
came to fight it out. Just why the
Emporia contingent is so dead set on
retaining Pittsburg as an educational
suburb of Emporia is hard for an out
slider to understand, but there are
more reasons than have appeared in
the arguments on the floor of the leg
islature, and the fight has been one
of the bitterest of the session. BY his
popularity and standing in the senate,
Senator Porter forced the bill over
the heads of the Observation-Disclosures by
small margin, and Representatives
Cassin and Mccormick took up the
unequal fight in the house. The bill
assumed the proportions of an anti
administration measure, and it was
fought to a standstill by a number of

Board to Investigate.
H. c. Bowman, chairman of the board
of control, stated this morning THAT the
board would investigate the charges,
but did not set date for this hear
ing. He said the charges would be ia
ken up with members of the board to-
day, but that it may be sometime be-'
fore the real hearing is had.
Il will make thorough investigation
of the charges" said Mr.. Bowman, land
we will go to the bottom of the mat
ter. We will subpoena witnesses and
will put them on the witness stand
under OATH
Mr.. Bowman, however, does not look
at the matter seriously. He is i'm
pressed with the idea that the charges
were made in a heat of passion and are
of probably little real value.
It's pretty hard said Mr.. Bowman,
"to run a big institution like the state
asylum without some friction. These
fellows who are so anxious for "a good
Christian gentleman at the head of the
asylum. probably have some one in
mind whom they desire to succeed the

ployees and were discharged for cause. =
The secretary of the board said the
charges had been in his office for some
time and were referred to the board by
Governor Stubs to whom the letters

that the friction at the Topeka hospl-
tai had been held down to a minimum.
He said that the resent Superintend-
ent was one of the best executive Off
GERS in the state, but that his abrupt
manner had not had a tendency to in
crease his personal friendship at the

OF three years research at q cost o.

are taken, will end the Grippe and

fit him His cleverness in leading ad-
ministration measures through the
rough country has made him a favor
tie with the Powers, and Fort Scott
will undoubtedly lose him if there are
any more administration appointive
jobs left in the hat.
Mr.. Keene is recognized as the SEN
tr- who stands guard over the admin
istration junk heap, and if Fort Scott
intended to send an administration
man to represent it, no mistake was
made in the choice. He has crossed
-verbally-with some of the
abIest Democrats and standpatters,
and while he did not always win the
decision, brought many of these bouts
to a draw with a few points in his
favor.

solutely no interest. And this is where
Hon. Mccormick became excited and
put on an exhibition. No doubt he
sees the futility of his action, as the
hanging of a mural decoration under
the eye of a fellow member can not
recall the Pittsburg divorce bill from
the morgue.
The decapitation of the Pittsburg
bill will have an effect upon the poll
tics of Crawford county. Senator Por-
ter. after twelve years of service, in
tended to retire from politics, but it
is almost a cinch that he will refuse
to quit now. The Pittsburg school
was established by his individual eff
fort in the legislature, and has grown
far beyond the proportions of an En-
poria annex He insists that its
maiden name be restored. and the
chances are that he will be seen
again, two years hence, jockeying the
same bill around the sharp corners
of the legislature. Mr.. Mccormick is
also a persistent legislator. and he and
his famous short-arm jab will prob
ably return to the battlefield.
Bourbon county is divided into two
political divisions: J. M. Davis's Demo
cratic country district. and the Fort
Scott Republican district. The coun-

Davis to the legislature for SO many
years that 1T has become a habit. but

NEW YORK, Oct 1o.-It was q
dull day In Wall Street with no ma

persons were hurt in that hnal crash

seems to be to get out OF steel rather
than TO get into II. Steel has been
the most popular issue in the mar
