MADISON OF KANSAS DIES.

Progressive Republican Was Serving
Third Term In House.
Dodge City, Kan, Sept. 19.-Edmund
n. Madison, representative in congress
from the seventh Kansas district, is
dead at his home here.
Representative Madison was one of
the striking features in the strenuous
fight over the rules in the last con
gress, which resulted in the curtail-
ment of the speakers powers and rad
ical changes in the code governing the
house. Madison and Murdoch of Kan
sas, Hayes of California and other
progressive Republicans, under the
leadership of Nortis of Nebraska in the
closing hours of the siXty-first con-
gress, waged and won the battle for
reorganization of the house methods.
Mr. Madison served through two con-
crosses, and was reelected to the pres
ent one and was active in the work of
the recent extra session. He was a
member of the Ballinger- Pinchot in
vestigating committee.

| ber two, number three, number

| Der of said courts may be by law

change of venue as provided by law
The president judge of said court
shall be selected as provided by law
The number of judges in said court
may be by law increased from time
to time. This amendment shall take
effect on the first day of January
succeeding it's adoption.

HANGERS CARD.

THE big anteroom of the Repub-

 by an excited. noisy crowd-it
 was the afternoon before cleo ton day. No one seemed able to stand in one spot sfor two consecutive min utes; no one thought of sitting.

 He opened the door and passed slow | ly along the narrow aisle, nodding
 mechanically. Then the strange silence struck in on him. He. raised his head sharply, the lips parting little What is it?" he said. His voice | was high pitched and querulous. From the street came the strident voice of the newsboy. He was too far away for his words to be distin-
 guished. but he was coming rapidly nearer.
 "Stop that newsie!" man exclaimed 1 involuntarily.
 "What is it? Why stop the newsio?'' The tone was still sharp and queru- lous
 The young man who cherished ideals standing before Bob sought to hide
 his paper behind his back. The move

 The young man stared at him mute ly, scared look coming into his eyes. "Give me that paperw Bob repeated
 fiercely. He caught the young man by the shoulder, swung him around roughly and seized the paper.
 Then he unfolded it and read. The crowd looked on in dumb discomfort. Somehow every one present found
