THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
Enormous Holiness Transacted 111 (be
Cast Ton ISayi.
The two branches of the Kansas legislature
leclded to cease huslnca at 10 o’clock on the
11th, but the large amount of clerical work
accessary to prepare the bill* and records
prevented an adjournment slue did before the
14th.
The legislature, during the last ten day* of
its session, dik|>o*e«l of »n enormous amount
Of buslncrs. Two week* ago not a bill had
become a law. A large amount of these bills
sre ol local Interest only. Among the laws
if general character enacted are the follow
ing;
The legislative appropriation bill, which In
cludes the expenses Incurred by the Populist
(Dunsmorc'c), House, $80,000; World’s Fair
hill appropriation, $47.1,000, for the Kansas
exhibit at Chicago; Senate resolution sub
mitting the suffrage amendment to the con
stitution to the people; hill prohibiting con
tracts for the payment of wage* in gold; 1)111
appropriating $.1,000 for experiment* In the
destruction of chinch bugs ; bill appropriat
ing SIO,OOO for the preservation of the public
health against an epidemic of cholera; bill
compelling corporation*, except railroads, to
pay their employes weekly; the Australian
ballot hill; and a bill appropriating SII,OOO
for the payment of n bounty on the sugar
manufactured within the slate.
The House passed the Senate legislative
appropriation bill, which provide* for the
payment of the late Dunsmoie House em
ployes. Twenty-three Republican* voted for
the bill with the Populists. The Senate an
nounced that utile** the House passed this
bill that no further appropriations of any
character wouhl be passed, thus threatening
to tic up a number of state lastltullons. This
brought the Republican* to time. The Aus
tralian ballot bill as amended by the House,
passed the Senate. The amendment Is par
ticularly objectionable to Democrats, as it
prohibits the appointment cf Judges of elec
tions from any party which “fused” with
another party at the next preceding election.
Tiffs practically prohibit* Democrat* from
acting on election boards at tlie next election.
CONVICTS MALTREATED.
Report on the Abuse* Carried oil In the
Nebraska l’<‘nltentlary.
The joint committee of the Nebraska House
and Ncuate investigating the charge)
of cruelty and Inhuman treatment of convicts
In the state penitentiary ha* made Its report.
It Is complete and quite extended. After de
scribing nt length the Inhuman manner in
which convicts are handcuffed ami lied up
with a rope twisted around the neck In such u
manner tbnt an attempt to lower the arms
of the prisoner Is attended by the danger of
actually choking to death, the report asserts
that punishment Is not only brutal and in
human in the extreme, but that It is positively
dangerous to the lives of the men so punished.
The cause of the death of Convict Powell,
who was found dead In the dark cell, aftet
being imprisoned In the hole for more than
three days, Is commented upon nt length, nntJ
the conclusion arrived at by the committee h
that there Is no possible doubt but that lit
came to hi* death by reason of tlie extremely
barbarous and excessive punishment admin
istered to him. The report then recommend*
that the system of punishment now In vogue
nt the penitentiary be abolished by law, and
that a milder and more humane system be
substituted by law, fully under the control of
the warden.
The present system of eontract labor at the
penitentiary comes In for a spirited rebuke
and Its evils arc forcibly pointed out. The re
port cites that the eouvicts mhui lose their
Idea of responsibility to the -late and feel
that they arc mere slave-of a private corpora
tion Interested In getting the greatest amount
of work po-sible out of them as long as they
are confined in tlie Institution. The commit
tee will recommend that the present contract
system be abolished at the earliest possible
moment.

Governor McKinley’s Debts.

wiped out with single dollars from Individual
Republican* and $.1,000 contributions by faith -
fill admirers. Not a cent of the governor’* or
hi* wife’s property will be used, and no man
w ill lie able to say he w iu» asked to help. In
fact, In every case which came under the re
< Ipient's notice, he made a most decisive re
jection and refusal. The fund wus raised by
nearly 4.0(A) contributor* In sums ranging
from #1 to handsome draft-* of $5,000. The
money came from nearly every section of the
country, with the most from Ohio. Indiana
and Michigan men were numerous among the
donors and the Illinois contributions -how
Mr. .McKinley had -ome friend- in tills Demo

governor in t'olinnlius wa* no sooner received

Mr. Kohl-aat ha* net written him as to the

so. He will simply begin paying the Mc'/ln

M hen l>r. Amlek responded to Its offer of

corps of physicians to select for It twelve test
patients In all stages of tlie* disease, hut 'in

his brother physicians without cost and the
newspaper announced it would send them all

few physicians would give their time to dem

The surprise of both newspaper and doctor
when the fir*t mail brought dozens of accep

discomfiture when thD dally mall Increased

Dr. Amlek gave up, at once, Ills large prac

when two weeks ugo having nt their own ex

A CITY OF STATUES.
Hart lioldl's I.ntest Triumphs to lie Added
to the St. Louis Collection- The
I.ileus Ship.
St. Louis, Mo., March 11.—Barthol
di's great statue of Washington and
Jefferson, which has been made for St.
Louis, will be exhibited at the World's
Fair this .summer and brought here in
the fall. Since the war, St. Louis has
stolen all the fame of Hnltiinorc as n
city of monuments. Forest Park lias
the statues of Frank I*. IJlnir and Ed
ward Hates, Lafayette Dark has the
statues of Washington and Thomas 11.
Kenton, in Tower drove Dark are the
statues of Shakespeare, Columbus and
Alexander von Humboldt, at Lyon
Dark is a statue of den. Lyon and in
Kenton Dark a statue of Frederick
Heeker, the hero of the Ger
man revolution of 1848. Down
town, at lh<‘ corner of Twelfth
and Olive Street.stands a statue of den.
Grant, the last one that has been pul
up in the citv. Several of these
statues are of heroic size, and all
are made by noted sculptors.
There seems no 'oncer any doubt as
i.i the mi* *•« of the Lucas Sliie onto
prise, wl.l.di involves the running of
specially constructed steamers from St.
Louis to Mexico and other Spnnish-
Amerienn points. The patent und *r
which the ships are to be constructed
involves the building of a vessel which
can ply on the Mississippi even at low
water, hut which can cross the ocean
safely. In many respects it resembles
the plan so successful’v adopted in
ocean racers of the City of Paris type,
and experts are of the opinion that tin*
necessary variations to enable the ship
to ply on the river at low water will
not impair the ettieienco. The success
ful establishment of this line of steam
ers will revolutionize trade to a great
extent and will result in a large in
crease in business between St. Louis
and intermediate points with the dull
ports. A large quantity of stock lias
been placed in St. Louis, Chicago and
other cities and active work on the first
ship is about to commence.
Foryeais it has 1.e.-n the custom in
St. Louis for the Sons of the Fatherland
t*i celebrate German Day some time in
April by a street parade and tin* pub
lic feast afterwards in one of the large
beer-gardens of the city. Last year
there was a pageant that rivalled that
of the Veiled Pioplict in magnificence,
a succession of tableaus illustrating
the progress of German ideas in this
country. There were forty thousand
people in line, men and youths. This
year there will be no parade. German
society which has charge of the ar
rangements has determined to spend
all its money and ideas assisting the
local committee which is preparing the
Columbian allegorical procession for
September. At that time the city will
be crowded with visitors from the four
corners of the earth, who have come to
see the Exposition and the Veiled
Prophet, and a spectacle like the Ger
man costume parade will have a hun
dred sight-seers then to one now.

They Must Have l'ormi Head to Them
Every Morning Strange Ktory
Told About an Old Inhab
itant of tin Sierras.
Down in Auberry valley, Cal., a
night can be witnessed any day in tho ;
week that is like an illustration in j
/EbOp’e fables. Tho real cuuhc of tho j
action of the animals is n mystery, I
although several men of seiontitic
kr.owledgo have investigated it.
It all huppens at Johnny Cunning- I
ham’s place, just at the base of the I
foothills of tho Sierras, in u wild and :
remote spot.
Old John is quite wealthy, and is i
said to boa little light in his head. I
His means arc sufficient to enable |
him to live in tho best possible tnan- ;
nor, but ho prefers to bo by himself,
ns far as human companionship is 1
concerned, mid passes bis life in a
small house several miles from any I
other habitation.
A short time ago the relatives of 1
John sent a physician by tho name of j
Duncan up to his homo to see if any- j
thing could ho done for him. The ,
pliyaiciun arrived at the place late in j
tho afternoon and was welcomed as
heartily ns tho owner's retiring dis- I
position permitted him to be. The j
house was well built and fitted up in
tho most comfortable manner. The
room to which the doctor was as- j
signed was at the hack of tho house
and a window in it opened on to the 1
porch.
The man's speech and action all
through the evening convinced the 1
medical man that something was |
wrong with his brain, just what tin* 1
trouble was it seemed impossible to
determine. lie hud a large library of
the host hooks, most of them poetical
works, und was continually reuding i
aloud from them.
Tho doctor was attempting to dis
cover the sent of the malady and did
not pay as much attention ns old !
John seemed to think his rending do- j
served. This annoyed him and lie |
reproved the doctor 'n the strongest j
terms, saying he had no appreciation I
of the beautiful and continually re- i
ferred to his “pots,” saying their np- ,
predation was a genuine love of tho !
beautiful.
The doctor asked where these pots
were hut received no answer, and
came to tho conclusion that they ex- i
isted only in tho imagination of his
host. Tito case puzzled the doctor
greatly, and after he retired he lay !
awake several hours pondering over j
it.
Just about daybreak lit' was awttk- j
enod by stealthy footsteps, apparent- j
Iv those of some nnirnul.on the porch. !
It did not sound like a dog. and yet
it appeared to ho perfectly at home, j
and did not scorn to fear molestation. ■
He finally mustered up courage to
get out of bed und look through the '
window-blinds. Ilis worst fours were |
realized: a large pack of coyotes hud j
possession of the yard and wore all !
over the porch restlessly pneing to
and fro. They did not seem to he I
making any attempt to get into tho |
house, but no doubt they were wait- i
ing for tho inmates to eoine out,when
they would ho devoured at leisure.
Tho doctor’s hair stood on end and j
ho trembled with fear, as the beasts j
looked hungry and dospernto. They |
continued their stealthy walk, never |
touching one another. When one
was in the other’s way there was a j
graceful, easy jump and the walk i
continued as before.
The doctor wondered why his iiost I
did not wake tip and come to his as- |
sistancc, tis it did not seem possible j
for a person to sleep with those uni- i
nials walking around tlie house He
finally ran to Ills host's room and hog- ;
god him to get a gun and shoot a few
of the invaders for the rest to cut, so !
they would satisfy their appetites und j
leave.
. His proposition evidently displeased |
tho old man, for. drawing himself ;

Rescued From Oblivion.
j A man’s head in marble, which was
lying neglected in mi outhouse of the
| residence of u .Mr. Webb, near Guil
ford, England, hits been recognized ns
I a Greek marble of no little value und
! beauty. It lias short curling hair,
j eyes hollowed out for metal or col
| ored marble pupils, and, us too often
happens, a broken nose. Mr. Webb
! lias given it to tho British museum,
j where it is regarded as a relic of tho
: seventh century before Christ and a
j piece of archaic Greek sculpture. It
lias an energetic masculine oxpros
i sion. A very singular detail is tho
| presence of three rows of small ro
settes running from car to ear over
| tho forehead just bolow where tho
j hair rises from the cranium. Those
i are, perhaps, meant to represent
j small curls of hair carefully trained
j and fixed.
