Topeka, Kan., Jan. 19. A soft breeze
from the south today brought warmth and
gladness and an advance in real estate.
Gradually it is becoming apparent that
Wichita is the mascott of Kansas. Xcxt
May there will he a vcr' stiff breeze Wieh
ila-ward: The Kansas and Missouri Valley
Press association will hold its annual meet
ing in Wichita. Many of its members, like
the Queen of Sheha, are doubtful of the
imperial grandeur, of the peerless beauty of
the proud Queen of the Arkansas valley,
and, like the queen of old, these doubters
of the slow going prfcs up in the Missouri
valley will be forced to admit that not one
half had been told them of the matchless
splendor of the wonderland over wnich
Wichita rules supreme and resplendent.
Till; LEGIST. VTl'llC.
The house was not in session this after
noon, and the senate passed but one bill:
senate bill No. 17, an act to prevent insur
ance companies from establishing pooling
rates on property and rating boards, and
providing punishment therefor. The bill
provides that "it shall be unlawful for any
fire insurance company, duing business in
Kansas, or the agent of any such compant,
to either directly or indirectly make any
contract or agreement, or to enter into any
stipulation with any other fire insurance
company doing business in this state, or
with each other, by which lating boards
may be established, or any agreed rate be
adopted for insurance upon any certain
property."
The provision applies to individuals and
partners, and to all insurance companies
and associations, whether incorporated or
not, now or hereafter engaged in the busi
ness of fire insurance in this state.
that ulast ix Tin: i:aolh
lias worked against the school book mon
opoly. The Topeka Evening Journal has
an able editorial on the subject, quoting
from the E.vau:. Senator "YVasson in
forms me he has received over fifty letters
from county superintendents and superin
tendents of schools, favoring his bill. It
looks as if now a giant monopoly would be
broken up, and the people get relief.
Senator Kelly was caily in the
fight for hi-? bill relating to
assessment and taxation. He has strong
hopes of i's passage through both houses.
He passed it once through the house but it
failed to go through the senate. The bill
changes the law in many paiticidar in con
formity with the wishes of the state and
county treasinei. But the principle and
leading feature of the bill is the penalty in
dicted upon any officer, township, county
or state, w ho fails or neglects to assess
property at its cash value. The bill will
bring to sight double the number of tax
payers on personal property and about
double the amount of chattel property, as
under the law as it now is from the pres
ent system of taxation one-third of its
value, from $000 to 1,000, is hidden be
hind the 200 exemption clause.
There is but little doubt but that this
bill will reduce greatly the taxes of all who
have heretofore been paying taxes on chat
tel propei Jy, as it inciease- the mumber of
t:ipy ers and greatly increases the amount
of taxable property, and in addition to this
it compclls all person to honestly and fair
ly list their property and at ifes true value,
thus .-aving to the honest taxpayer about
one-third of what they now pay.
WOMAX'S SCFFKAGE.
The judiciary committee oTthe senate by
a vote of G to 53 reported in favor of the
bill granting municipal stufrage to women.
Senators Blue, Kellogg, Green, I.cdden,
Bowden, White and Bitter made the major
ity report in favor of the passage of the
bill. Senators Tickler and Iliirkuess made
a minority report asking that the bill be
indefinitely postponed.
TO EXTIRPATE I'LECRO.
Senator Hewens this morning offered the
following resolution:
Whereas, The cattle interest of the state
of Kansas, and of the whole country as
well, are imperiled by the existence of con
tagious pleuro-pneumonia of Kansas, Illi
nois, Virginia, .Maryland, Delaware, New
Jersev, Pennsylvania and Xew York. and.
Whereas, There is now before congress- a
bill known as the Miller btil, which pro
vides for the adoption of practical meas-1
ures whereby this disease may be uxtirpat- j
ed from among the cattle of the United !
btates. therefore bo it
Resolved, By the senate, the house con- j
curnug therein, that our senators be in
structed, and our representatives in con
gress be requested to uo all honorable ef
forts to secure the passage of the said 3IU
ler bill; and be it.
Resolved, That the secretary of state be
instructed to transmit a copy of these reso
lutions to the president of the senate, the
speaker of the houe, and to each of our
senators and representatives in congress.
rXfcOPIII&TICATED CULLIES.
Tney w ere not members of the legisla
tiiie, they had net visited the Topeka pa
pers they were not subscribers to the
Eagle, for this paper had warned people
visiting Topeka not to blow out the gas.
Yesterday afternoon James Carroll and
Mark Bowen, two farmers living in Will
uinsport township, about lifteeu miles
from Topeka, and within about one mile
of Wakarusa station, came to Topeka and
stopped at the Dutton house, on the corner
of Kansas avenue and Fourth street, and
about 10 o'clock they retired,
having been assigned to room Xo. 22
on the second floor. Xo further notice
w.is taken of them except that they did not
get up for brcakf.ist so earl- as the' had
expected. Shortly after 8 o'clock a guest
passing through the hallway, noticed gas
was escaping somewhere. A porter was
sent to investigate, and soon disco veied
that gas was issuing from room 22 where
the two farmers had been aligned. At
first an eifoit was made to awaken the two
men from the outside, they having locked
the door, but no sius of life came from
within; and the transom was broken open.
As soon as possible the room was entered,
and the two men were found lying with
face turned upward and as white as sheets
and appirenlly lifeless.
Dr. Righter was summoued at once; Dr.
3rcClintock was called in to assist. It was
about S.J30 when the doctors arrived, and a
twenty-four cell batter' with four cells
open was at once applied. The doctor ic
maiued at the bedside of the unfortunate
men and worked with them constantly. It
was not until this afternoon that the stilled
men began to show signs of life. At 3
o'clock this afternoon one of the men was
then still unconscious, and every muscle
remained motionless except when moved
by the force of an electric current. Dr.
Righter was confident, however, that the
two men would both effectually iccover.
At 4 o'clock the doctors were still at work
with the men, and one of them had
sufficiently recovered to recognize a few of
his f i iends but is still unable to speak. At
1 o'clock both men had sufficiently re
covered to recognize their friends, and are
now believed to be out of danger.
HERE IS AXOTIIEH
Big old rumpus over the slate architect.
In debating the resolution to appoint a
joint committee to examine plans for-the
completion of the main building of the
state house, Senator Kellogg said that he
had been informed that the bronze panels
for the main senate door, which had been
purchased by the former architect and
costing the state $i,'J0O were now being
kicked about iu the basement,
and wooden doors sjpplied instead.
He was also informed that architects em
ployed by the state at a monthly salary,
had prepared plafi?and bidj to be submit
ted to the commissioners, which if ac
cepted would have to be paid for as any
other bid. The matter of investigating the
present woik on the state house was re
ferred to the committee on public build
ing. In the debate for an investigation
the following points were made: That the
'law of 'TO provides for an architect, and
that he shall make all plan-;; that the Jaw
of '8.1 provides for assistance to the archi
tect, to bo employed by the board of direct
ors; that the commissioners and architects
have discarded the drawings left for the
completion of the senate and thrown away
lSoO worth of bt'jflze for the main door.

thorizing the construction of a bridge over
the Mississippi river at or near St. Louis
between EadV bridge and the mouth of
the 3Iixsouri river, was taken up. Several
amendments were reported to it.
Mr. Alli-ou said tnat the senator from
Missouri (Vest) and himself, had had some
consultation respecting changes to be made
in the bridge charter, but did not de-sire to
take any responsibility as to details, ex
cent so far as the bill provided for a high
bridge with wide spans.
Mr. Ingalls aagued that the inhibition as
to a bridge within two miles above or
below the proposed structure should also
apply to the new bridge; that it should not
be within two miles ot Euds structure, sug
gesting that otherwise the charter might fie
used lor blackmailing purposes." He
offered an amendment to that effect.

of the Blair educational bill. Xo action
was taken on the resolution, and at the con-
lusion of the morning hour the house re
sumed consideration of the conference re
port on the inttimmc- commerce bii.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia then called up the
conference report on tlic interstate com
merce bill, but the members of the com
mittee on lalor were indignant at the man
ner in which the mornmg hour had been
frittered away, and Mr. Daniels of Virginia

Mr. Guenther of Wisconsin, congraUi

Your nftc-r year the railroad macnattsr
through agents and lobbyits had deYeated
all interstate commerce legislation, but the
day of judgement was about to arrive. The
passage of this bill would be the greatest
triumph the public had achieved for many
year-.
Mr. Xelson of Minnesota favored the
measure and said by its passage one of the
powerful methods for extortion and injus
tice would be completely sheathed:
Mr Weaver, of Iowa, opposed tbe bill.
He had hearuly supported the Regan bill, j
but the bill now presented was subnan-!
lially the Cullom bill which the house had j
refund to puss. The theory of 'he peml- j
ing bill was to do as liule for the people as.
