VIM. A. PETER,
 POPULIST, DEAD

Topeka, Kan, October 7.-Ex- Senator William A. Peffer, founder of the Populiss party, died today at his daughters home at Grenola, Kan, at the age of ST.
 The former senator was born of poor parents ill Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, Sept. 10, 1851, and he died poor mau. He studied law and was admitted to the bar. but spent the best years of his life working OH small weekly papers in Kansas, from which state he was elected 10 the Senate.
 He had large family, for whom he provided by squeezing many of them onto the government payroll during the six years of his senator ship, which ended March, 1897. He retired so poor that he was placed on the Senate contingent fund payroll to codify the Senate index to the Congressional Record Thisspetty position he held until a few years ago.
 His elevation to the Senate came i'll 1891, while he was editing a farm weekly at Topeka. His per sonal appearance was so grotesque that he always created slight sell sation whenever he took the floor to introduce one of the Populist contentious. Peffer was tall, be- whiskered, thin almost to emacia- tion, with a soft, slow drawl in his voice. Until he resigned his posi- ton as codiher of the Congressional Record he could always be found at his desk in an obscure corner of the Congressional Library building.

It was a good motto, but unfortunately the rails never did meet the sails at Katalla, and the major had to haul down his ensign, after making a gallant fight for tue little city.

WILLIAM n. TAFT,
Attorney at Law.

The official announcement was MADE
by Secretary Thompson after con-
ference with the president at the Wal
dorf
1t was coupled with the statement
that the president will conduct a gen.
eral practice. 1t is his present purpose
to have no partners.
Charles p. Taft brother Of the presi-
dent is negotiating for Offices in CEN
trally located business building.
Practiced Only Four Years.
1t has been generally supposed that
the president had enjoyed long and
lucrative law practice prior to his en-
tering official life. AS matter of fact,
he practiced only four years. He was
admitted to the bar in 1880. He was
law reporter for Cincinnati newspa-
pers, collector of internal revenue and
prosecuting attorney until 1888. He
practiced law until 1887, when Gov
ernor Moraker made him a judge. He
served from 1887 to 1890 He was So
licitor general of the United States
from 1890 to 1892 United States circuit
judge from 1892 to 1900, first civil gov
ernor of the Philippines from 1901 to
1904, secretary of war from 1904 to
1908, and has been president since
March, 1909.
Nearly quarter of a century OF
holding office prevented Mr.. Taft from
following his profession. But he counts
on his experience on the bench to aid
him.
