The overwhelming election of Mc Kinley is not only a strong: endorse ment of his successful and patriotic course during the Spanish war, but shows that the people of the country were afraid of the so-called "Bryan Ism" and the sweeping changes and ex periments Bryan proposed to make if the Democracy had been successful. The business interests of the country were evidently determined that no chances should be taken on any radical change In ths financial affairs of the country. The result is a great rebuke to th methods of Croker and Tammany. It is plain that however the voters may have disagreed upon certain policies in the Philippines, they preferred the fight continued on present lines, believ ing that a satisfactory outcome would result under McKinley and that Repub lican principles of this country were firmly established. The cry of imperial ism seems to have had but little weight. The people of the state will be. gen erally pleased that Kansas is in line, state and legislative, w ith the victorious Republicans of the cation. The latter have many serious problarms to solve be fore matters in the country are in a satisfactory situation, but the people have unmistakably declared that they have confidence In the Republicans to solve them. The landslide seems to have arrived. The president's neighbors stood by him nobly. The gold Democrats went bade but there were not enough of them. It may never be known whether it was Roosevelt or Hanna. that beat Petti grew. The Colorado voters took their revenge on "Wolcott for his desertion ot the silver cause. The Kepublicana have proved them selves to be better forecasters of election results than are their opponent. The Philippine war will now close, ac cording to the programme previously announced, and Johnny will come marching home. One member of the Bryan family was successful. A cousin of the Democratic candidate for president was elected gov ernor of Florida. Four more years of the full dinner pail is what the people want, and what they voted for. Those who have the con tract of keeping it full probably will be held to strict account. Senator Stewart was unable to swing Nevada into the Republican column. People like Stewart and Woicott, who forsake their constituencies, usually sac rifice their influence at the same time. GLOBE SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe.l "When a speaker gets hoarse, he has some idea that the country has been saved. It is a question which is a greater waste of money: giving it to voters, or to missionaries. There is a sensation in kin affairs: A woman and her daughter-in-law are in love with each other. The fierce contests over little political jobs makes the women's rights over a cheap prize at cards less ridiculous. A little man living in town occasion ally marries a woman who is small, but a little man inthe country always mar ries a tali woman. This is the season when you can walk out into the woods, throw a stick into a hickory or walnut tree and knock down a shower of nuts. Somehow, it always makes people feel like laughing to see a picture of a wo man with her dress cut low in the neck, and a baby in her arms. When a woman finds out that her hus band has done anything wrong.she likes to have all her female relatives present when she accuses him of it. An Atchison girl who can Jump a five foot fence, and accomplish other athlet ic feats, has put her affections on a young man who wears rubbers when there is a dew. One of the queer things about the av erage woman is that she is always ready to doubt her husband's statements, but swallows the Bible scories of Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lion's den, etc., without a murmur. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A stumble sometimes prevents a fall. Every doer has bis day and every man has hia hobby. Tou can't always tell what's in a bot tle by reading the label. Office seeking Is neither a trade nor profession; it's a disease. Bays an amateur poultry fuacier;"The only money in chickens is what they swallow." Don't think because a politician has his price that he always gets it. A married man's idea of a good time is doing the things his wife objects to. Lots of people who are Inclined to do good keep putting it off until tomorrow. QUAKER REFLECTION'S. From the Philadelphia Record. The man who steals a watch deserves to wind up in jail. A woman doesn't talk through her hat unless it happens to be a new one. The people who pay the most compli ments sometimes don't pay their bills. Silllcus "No woman has ever made a fool of me." Cynicua "Indeed! "Who did?" Wigwag "Bjones- would rather bor row trouble than borrow money." Hard uppe "What's the difference?" Some girls marry for money, but, for that matter, every clergyman does the same thing when he performs a cere mony. Tommy "Pop, what does U. of P.' mean on the football sweaters?'-' Tom my's Pop (who has wagered a ten-spot) "I guess it must mean uncertainty of playing.' " Blobbs "Young Bsmlth has only been in business about three months, and yet he tells me he has gone to the wall." Slobbs "That's only a Joke of his. You see, toe's a paper-hanger." BURGOMASTER PLEASED. How the Opera Was Received In Omaha. The following concerning "The Bur gomaster," which will be in Topeka Fri day evening, is from the Omaha World Herald of November 2: "The Burgomaster" appeared at the Boyd last night, fresh despite his sleep of 2D0 years, and delighted one of the best audiences of the season. He has decided to remain for tonight and to morrow night and throw in a matinee Saturday for luck. Incidentally he will do a few things at the Press club benefit this afternoon. After seeing it one can easily understand why "The Burgo master" packed the Dearborn theater in Chicago during the hottest weeks of the summer just past. It takes an at traction of superior merit to till a capa cious theater night after night while the mercury is hovering around the 100 mark and mankind recalls with regret the lament of Lamb that he could not "peel off his flesh and sit in his bones." And that is what "The Burgomaster" is and accomplished. It is as bright and sparkling and wholesome at a glass c-f spring water, and as refreshing as a cool breeze in the desert. Mr. Gus Luders, who composed the catchy melodies did not strive to write classics that would go thundering down the ages like a Wagner overture. He wrote to set feet to keeping time and blood to circulating faster and he succeeded "The Burgo master" is full of those tantalizing tunes that one can not refrain from whistling as he goes to and from his work. From the time that the burgo master drinks his draught that put him to sleep until he finds his long lost sec retary in the last act, the opera is full of vivacity, good humor, catchy music, charming lyrics and pure humor. Mr. Pixley, who wrote the libretto and the lyrics, knew what would take; and Mr. Luders, who fitted the whole to music, knew just what would set people to humming snatches from the opera. The result of this combination is 'The Bur gomaster," a phenomenon in the comic opera world. The company presenting the piece is practically the same as that which made the piece famous during its long run in Chicago. Miss Yerrington, who "ssays the leading part, possesses a pleasing voice and infuses into the opera a vast amount of vim and snap. In the dual roles of Lieutenant Sweezer and Willie Vonastorbilt she made a Fplendid impression. Miss Coleman is delightful to see and hear and her vocal numbers were rapturously applauded, especially "I Love You." Harry Daven port as the Burgomaster, makes the most of splendid opportunities and his every apearance and word is the signal for laughter. Knox Wilson won favor by his splendid comedy work and his saxaphone solo was a decided hit. Wil liam Riley Hatch, who is a prime favor ite in Omaha, appeared as the "Harlem Spider," and hia representation of the tough guy was a bit of artistic work. The Spider and his "tough goils" won enough encores to supply an average company for a week. Tom Ricketts added much to the pleasure of the even ing by bis good work in the role of K. Booth Taikington, a broken down actor. Laura Joyce Bell appeared to good ad vantage and added to her already splen did reputation in Omaha, where she has appeared several times, the last time in support of Digby Bell. The scenic in vesture of "The Burgomaster" is unusu ally good. soTne of the scenes being greeted with hearty demonstrations o approval. The chorus is strong, both numerically and vocally, and the young ladies seem actually to get as much fun out of the opera as those who sat out in front. The Indian chorus, composed of male members of the company, was one of the best things of the evening. The costuming is up to the standard de manded by opera and scenery. "The Burgomaster" is really up to all of its advance notices, something that can truthfully be said of very few theatrical attractions. The performance will be re peated tonight and tomorrow night, and also at a matinee tomorrow.

STANLEY AM) THE SOLDIER How the State Committee Refuted Charges of Unfriendliness. During the campaign, the charge that Governor Stanley has not sustained the promises which he made to give the old soldiers the preference in making ap pointments under his administration, was freely used. The criticism of the governor has been offered mainly with reference to the state institutions under the manage ment of the state board of charities. The management of the state cam paign has deemed the charges of suffi cient extent and importance to cause the publication of a letter which Gover nor Stanley wrote to the board of char ities soon after it was organized under his administration. It has also been charged that Gover nor Stanley was not acting in good faith when he referred applications for places in the state institutions to this board. The letter which the state committee caused to be resurrected and published, in the opinion of the campaign mana gers, explains all of these charges as groundless. The letter follows: "The new administration will bring a change in the management of the board. 1 have selected the new members of the board because of my confidence in their character and efficiency. "The law provides that the subordi nate positions in all charitable institu tions in the state shall be tilled by par ties of your selection. I propose to leave the responsibility of these selections with you, but if agreeable to you, would be glad at any time to confer with you, both as to your appointees and the man agement of the several institutions un der your charge. "If changes are made in the employes of these institutions I desire to make the following suggestions: "First That in making your appoint ments, honesty and efficiency in the ap plicants be the first consideration. Second That all other things being equal, you give preference to the sur viving soldiers and sailors of the civil war. "Third That you conduct the several institutions under your charge with the strictest economy consistent with effi ciency. "Fourth That a prompt discharge follow every instance of. dishonesty, im morality or drunkenness upon the part of your employes. "With these suggestions I leave to you entirely the management of the charita ble institutions of the state, hoping for you the greatest success in their admin istration and trusting that your man agement may meet with the hearty ap proval of the people. "W. E. STANLEY." Accompanying this letter is the an nouncement that three members of the board are old soldiers and explaining al so that the board has made the follow ing list of appointments since March 1, It-Pfl: Fifty-two veterans of the civil war. Ninety-eight daughters or veterans. Kighty-three sons of veterans. Three widows of veterans. Twenty soldiers of the Spanish war. One widow of the Spanish war. A supplementary explanation claims that there are at present in the service of the state: Veteran soldiers 115 Sons of veterans 152 Daughters of veterans 113 Widows of veterans 3 TOPEKA'S STATeIToUSE. Student of Public Buildings Visits It and Talks. George R. Quarrels, general traveling agent for an eastern company, was in Topeka recently. Mr. Quarrels only makes the larger cities of the country and visits them once each year. In the course of the year he sees every state in the Union. He was standing on the north steps of the state house when a State Journal reporter was passing that way. The re porter was accosted in the following manner: "What building is that over there?" pointing to the east. He was in formed that the building in question was the general offices of the Santa Fe. Then followed questions in quick suc cession as to the other large buildings in sight, the high school, the city library and the Presbyterian church being among the more prominent ones. In the course of the conversation Mr. Quarrels said he had been through ev ery state house in the Union but the one in this city and that he was just about to go through the Kansas state house. Mr. Quarrels proved to be an interest ing talker and could tell some little story of almost any public building of import ance in the United States. "Did yoS know that there is one state in the Union which is without a state house?" he asked. "No." "Well there is. It is the state of Utah. Plans and specifications have been made for the building but it is not yet under the course of construction. It will be much larger than the building here or for that matter than almost every state house in the United States. It will with out doubt be the most magnificent building of its kind when completed. Nearly all the money for its construction has been appropriated but the fund still lacks considerable of reaching the re quired amount." After visiting the senate chamber of the Kansas state house Mr. Quarrels was quite liberal in his praise of the room, saying that it was far above the average. COMING DRAMATIC ETENTS. "Big Bill" Devere Is a well known man, and the way he was received last s-sson Vmonptrnted his popularity. II is manv friends will be plnd to learn that he will pny another visit this Reason in the fame character of the "Shot Gun Editor" in Hoyt's "A Black Sheep." Mr. Devere promises that he will be supported by a superior cast than that of lust year: many new faces will appear, and the play wiil better and stronger in every way. Harry Davenport, the leading comedian of "The Burgomaster" companv. which comes to the Crawford Friday night, pos sesses a valet who accompanies him en tour. Mr. Davenport claims that he is absolutely necessary to assist him in his many changes at each performance and especially in the proloeue to the musical comedy, when he portrays i"eter Stuyve sant and affects a one-leeged man with a wooden peg for the other limb. This wooden member is securely strapped to his body and fur at. least ten before and twenty minutes during the act. he mu-t either stand on one leg or He down: he can't bend to sit and when he lies down, his valet must assist him and and also to rise asain. It is no easv matter for Mr. Davenport to be funny when not at ease but. then again, he is onlv one of ;he many actors who have aniused an auutnce under difficulties even worse than This and. under the circumstances, he is entitled to a valet.

Brummer & Co. yester day afternoon a ring-tailed Chinese monkey, one of the large variety, broke out of his cage and started on a career of murder and pillage. He killed two canaries and pulled the tail feathers from half a dozen parrots. When it came to plundering, he found the draw ers filled with packages of bird seed. Not wanting it himself, he took to throwing it at the parrots. It was while this was going on that the police, at tracted by a roaring crowd of men and boys in front of the place, came and tried to get in. It was finally decided to send for the proprietor. When he arrived the mon key had reached the desk and was tear ing up accounts and splashing ink. On the entrance of Brummer the rioter fled to one of the high shelves. The monkey had released a number of smaller mon keys and to these the bird man appealed for help. At once they started in pur suit and after an exciting chase the big monkey was overtaken and pulled to the floor by the little fellows. The bird store looked as if it had been through a cyclone. The damage can not be made good for less than $50. RECTOR RAISES A RUMPUS. Jersey City Pastor In Hot "Water For Censuring His Flock. New York, Nov. 7. Rev. Percival C. Pyle, rector of Grace PJpiseopal church. In the Greenville district of Jersey City, created a decided sensation among his parishioners on Sunday morning. In his sermon he charged that the church was deteriorating with startling rapidity. "When I came here, four years ago." he said, "the old vestrv had nearly wiped out the church debt. Then a new vestry was chosen, and they have done nothing but increase the debt, until it has almost reached $5,000. The congregation dees nit do its part toward sustaining the church. "Some of the men. I am told, spend their money on tobacco and in saloons in stead of eriving one-tenth of it to the sup port of the church, which is sadly in need of its tithes. I have made calls through out the parish, as mv duty commands, and in some places I have had the doors slammed in my face. I have even been stoned in the street and I have been slan dered in public." One of the members said that the rec tor's assertions were wild and unreliable, "As to the use of tobacco," he said, "'ht is all non-sense. The rector himself is addicted to 1he use of the weed. The members of the church ere sick and tii-ed of the whole business. He has made trou ble for ns before and we do not intend to stand this sort of abuse any longer." WOODSON IS REPUBLICAN. Nearly 300 Majority Given State and Congressional Ticket Yates Center, Kan., Nov. 7. Unofficial returns give Republican 2S9 majority for McKinley and Stanley, in Woodson county.

SCHEME OF A HEAVY HEN. From the Louisville Courier Journal. J. W. Buchanan, an attache of the gen eral offices of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, whose home is at 321 West Market street, Jeff ersonville, relates an unusual incident in connection with an old hen's eagerness to raise a family, not caring whether it was a brood of chickens or not. Several times the hen was supplied with a sitting of eggs, but being a hen of extraordinary weight she managed to break the eggs and at last gave up the egg-sitting job in disgust after Mr. Bu chanan had placed a half dozen door knobs under her henship. Along -came a cat with three kittens. The old hen chased the cat away and took charge of the kittens. The real mother ses them only occasionally, when she feeds them, but when the hen comes storm ing around the fur flies and then the cat leaves. There are nerer any ex ternal signs of Cancer until mttf the blood is polluted and the system thoroughly con taminated by this deadly virulent poison. Then a sore or ulcer appears on some part of the body ; it may be small and harmless looking at first, but as the can cerous cells form and are deposited by the blood near the sore, it increases in size and severity, with sharp shooting pains. No matter how often the sore is removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh destroying plasters, another comes and is worse. The real disease is in the blood, and the treatment must begin there. The poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is deme cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently. Mrs. Sarah M. Keesling, 04X Windsor Ave., Bristol, Tenn., writes: "I am 4t years old, and for three years had suffered with a evere form of Cancer on my jaw, which the doctors said was incurable, and that I could not live more than six mont lis.

Indications That the Ex-Speaker "Was Defeated. Bryan carried Trego county in 1896 by 94 votes. This year the Fusionists car ried the county by about 20. Morris county, the home of Lieutenant Governor Harry Kichter, is reported to be in doubt. Ottawa county, the home of Justice Johnston, which was over 100 for Stan ley two years ago, seems to be Republi can again this year, but Harry McMil lan, the Fusion nominee for senator car ried the county by 65. Saline county is in this senatorial district. The result there is in doubt. J. C. Mohler is the Republican nominee for senator and may be beaten. Kx-Speaker Osbom, re nominated for representative, may have been defeated. His district Is reported to be much in doubt. Republicans at headquarters late this afternoon have hope of pulling Wheat ley of the Third district through. It Is said Wheatley has carried Crawford county which went four years ago over 800 for Bryan and two years ago 452 for Leedy. If Wheatley cuts Congressman Rldg ley's majority of l.COO in Cherokee as he has trimmed it in Crawford, he will be elected. John Breldenthal and the remaining Fusion candidates carried Labette coun ty, Breidenthal's former home by 150 majority. Governor Stanley carried Sedgwick county two years ago by a majority of 19. This year he has carried his home county by at least 450. In Parsons, the asylum controversy caused considerable scratching against Stanley, but outside of the city in La bette county the governor ran ahead of the ticket. In Oswego, in the ward which is the home of L. S. Crum, Stanley was 22 ahead of McKinley at the finish. The Populists elected legislators in La bette county.: HUGGINS DEFEATED. Republican Candidate For Senator In Lyoa Defeated. Meager reports from Lyon county In dicate that W. L. Huggins and Charles Harris, Republican nominees for senator and representative, respectively, have been defeated. Although no confirmation of this has been received it is accepted as a fact. The returns which are coming by wire are all addressed to the Republican com mittee. The Populist state committee has not had more than a dozen tele grams all day. The telegrams to the Republicans show astonishing gains all over Kansas and to such an extent that the most con fident member of the opposition does not for a single moment question the result. J. Mack Love has Joined the "con ceding" element in Kansas politics, and admits the success of the Republicans on the state and legislative propositions. The fusionists think Jackson in the Third congressional district will win, but their secret hope is that the Repub licans, now that the indications point to an overwhelming victory, as one of their number expressed it: "Take the whole works." "Now that the Republicans seem to have won, I hope they will get the na tional congress, the state legislature and the state ticket. Then they will have the opportunity to either keep or fail in their promises, and we can meet them squarely in the next campaign on their own record." This is the manner In which an official of the Populist state committee ex pressed himself this afternoon. D. O. McCray, secretary of the Free Silver Republican state committee, con cedes Republican success in state and nation. G. C. Clemens, the nominee of the So cial Democrats for governor, met Chair man Ridgley at the entrance to Popu list headquarters this afternoon. "Didn't I done tole yer?" said Clem ens. Mr. Ridgley did not reply to this "josh." Before election Clemens predicted the defeat of the fusionists. He said: "Our party will do all the business next time. Fusion has killed the Populist party, and the men who have been responsible have been reprimanded at the ballot box." ELECTRICITY ON RANCH. Detroit Men Plan Big Mexican Enter prise on Modern Lines. Detroit, Nov. 7. An interesting exper iment in conducting a western ranch will be made this winter. It will be tried in Lower California and Mexico by Michigan people. Many of the old ranching methods will be done away with and in their place strictly novel and up-to-date ideas will be put in op eration. The ranch is controlled by J. Durley Morton of Pontiac and his uncle, T. Morris Flower, who has been ranch ing in Lower California for several years. Mr. Flower is a nephew of the late Roswell P. Flower of New York and Mr. Norton a grand-nephew. The two ranchmen have secured con trol of l(i6,0!K acres of land just across the border from the state of California. The property is seventy-five miles from Pan Diego and thirty miles from Ensenada, Mex., the nearest town. It is situated in a valley, almost surrounded by mountains, is fertile and well water ed. Large quantities of grain will be raised, 8,0fi0 acres already having been sowed, but the main industry will be stock raising. In addition to this the ranch will possess one of the largest poultry runs west of the Mississippi river. The most modern incubating plant will be installed for this portion of the enterprise. The ranch will b supplied with all the conveniences possible. A unique feature of it will b2 the placing of se eral s-arcii-lights on the mountains overlooking the ranch, thus replacing the old system of night riding to prevent thlevine. Ti-e tender of each light will be armed with a long-range rifle and will also he pro vided with a signal code by which lie can fla-sh information to the other i;pht ten ders and any one who may be out amoni the cattle. Each light tender will nl'o have at hand a telephone connected with the main ranch, the pushing of the but ton ringing an alarm bell. All part's the ranch will be provided with telephone stations and an electric light p'ait wij be installed at the ranch, all of the build ing being illuminated with electricity. Santa Fe Shops Close.

Austrian Makes a Long Walk and Pushes His Wife In a Chair. Antwerp, Nov. 7. Anton Hamsllan, an Austrian, who has a wager with an American newspaper that he can walk from Vienna to the coast and from New York to San Francisco in 250 days, pass ed through here yesterday, wheeling his wife and children In a Bath chair. He left Vienna Sept- 12 and Bails for New York this wef k. He is accompanied by a friend, who busies himself with selling post cards to assist in the expenses of this trip. It was this friend who walked from Vienna to St. Petersburg, wheeling his family, in fifty days. MERE BOV A GUIDE. tFrom the St. Louis Republic Henrique Amal, 14 years old, French by descent, but a native of Pecos, Tex., has business that in Itself is unique, and which certainly is practiced by no body else of his age. He acts as In terpreter, guide and general factotum for parties of emigrants from Kuropa traveling to this country. Last night he passed through Union station, escorting a party of 25 French emigrants bound for Albuquerque, N. M. He was very busy. Ail the station officials asked questions of him in re gard to tickets; he negotiated such pur chases of food that had to be made, saw that the baggage was properly checked, and did a thousand things which would naturally be a grown man's province. He did all well. He said that down in the southwest, where irrigation is continually opening up new lands suitable for vineyards, there is a scarcity of steady labor, and that the owners think it desirable to colonize them with foreigners. To bring a parly of these over, there is needed somebody who can talk Kngllsh as well as the language of the emigrants.
