tie.s to the strujjijle for controle of
the lower house of the legislature
prevented a serious conllict and
the shedding of blood.
Not since the anil-slavery and
pro-slavery forces were arrayed in
hostile attitude against one another
has political excitement run so
high as today, and not since peril
ous times has the political situa
tion come so near developing into
a battle with arms.
Members of the republican house
rach carrying a revolver in a con
venient pocket, forced their way
through a populist guard stationed
in the corridor and stairway lead
ing to representative hall, fought
their way inch by inch tip the
tairs in a hand-to-hand confict
with the populists, batted down the
doorof the hall with a sledge ham
mer took possession of the hall,
barricaded themselves within and
are withstanding a siege by the
populist government, supported
by the entire military force of the
atate, and hope to starve the repub
licans Into an unconditional sur
render. Right here arises the probability
of an armed conllict between the
lepublican guards and the state
miltia. The republican members
kept the wires hot all day sending
messages to their constituents,
informing them of the desperate
situation of alfairs and calling for
republican volunteers to come to
Topeka at once and lend aid to the
republican house. Responses have
been received from all over the
state, stating that volunteers have
offered their services by the hun
dreds and will arrive in Topeka on
the first train. As samples of the
responses, two are here given: D. M.
Scott, a republican member who
happened to be at his home in
Ottawa telegraphed that he would
be here in the morning wilh X)
armed men. "Fighting Dan" An
thony, t'litor of the Leavenworth
Times, wired that one thousand
armed men would come from
Leavenworth.
The repulicans predict that the
militia being composed mostly of
republicans, will not resist the at
tack of the volunteers should the
latter proceed to such extreme
measures.
At 10 o'clock tonight live hun
dred troops were on guard around
the capital building, while five
hundred more are on the way from
different parts of the state. Hun
dreds of republican volunteers
armed for battle, are gathering
from all parts of the state, popu
lists have been organized into pro
visional troops. The mi-ilia, being
republican in their sympatic,
will probably not obey orders to
shoot down their political brethren,
while the provisional companies,
composed of populists, are prepar
ed to go almost to any extreme to
defeat the republican plans and
maintain the populist position.
"You can't go in here," answered
the populist guards, in a chorus,
nourishing their clubs, and the
guards on the upper part of the
stairs nourishing revolvers and
Winchesters. The crowd at this
juncture began pushing and for a
few seconds the populist guard was
able to hold the republican forces
back. J. Ware Hutterlield had gone
to the back stairway and as a rep
resentative of the press obtained
admission. On the back stairway
were several guards, tinned with
revolvers, but he passed them all
uuchallenned. When he reached
the floor of the hall. Mrs. Laura M.
Johns informed him that there was
a crowd of armed populists on the
front stairs to keep the republicans
out. Hutterlield passed through
the hall and through the cloak
room to the front stairs, where he
found twenty-live or thirty guards,
armed with clubs and revolvers.
They were headed by G. (.'. Clemens
armed with a big club, A. J. Uoyd,
with a Winchester, L. L. Hopkins,
with a revolver, and L. T. Yunt,
with a revolver. Htittcrtield rushed
among them, wildly waving his
hat, his gray hair almost standing
on as an end he appeared in
sight of the republican forces be.
low and attacting the attention of
the populists to himself, shouted:
"Men don't shoot. For God's sake,
don't be rash; don't shed innocent
blood. Come on, men; the way is
char.
A mighty shout went up from the
corridor below as the republicans
with a terrific swoop rushed of the
stairs carrying the guards with
them. The populist guards rushed
buck up the stairway into the hall,
locking the doors behind them, but
they were not so quick but that Jan.
A. Troutman of Shawnee county,
Mr. Hennelield of Montgomery and
J. W. UuttertTcld managed to get
inside the doors. The doors lead
ing to the cloak room were forced
open by Speaker Douglass and the
crowd surged into the cloak jooin.
The heavy doors opening into the
hall were locked and a populist
guard hail run off with the key.
The republicans were prepared for
this and almost instantly a sledge
hammer was passed up to Speaker
Douglas, who with one stroke
smasked the panel out of the door.
A few more strokes with th ham
mers in the hands of A. C. Sherman
and W. H. Swan, republicans from
Topeka, made the big doors ereak
on their hinges. A few more blows
shattered them. When the first
opening was made in the door G. C.
Clemens grabbed a piece of the
pnuel and threw it back through the
opening striking W. II. Swan on the
head. A populist guaid raised his
Winchester and was about to lire,
when he was covered by two revol
vers in the hands of W. I'. Wilcox, a
republican assistant sergeant-at-arms.
This had a quieting effect.
The populist guard gave away and
the republicans rushed into the
hall, cheering wildly.
Adjutant-General Artz has called
out company H, third regiment, of
Marion, and company G, second re
giment, of Oakland, and the popu
list house officers have placed
themselves under the protection of
the governor.
With the republicans in posses
sion of rearesentative hall the in
terest of the populists centered
about the governor's office. A guard
was placed at his door and only
faithful "populist" were permitted
to enter. lie issued a call for three
companies of militia immediately
after the clash in representative
hall to Morm the hall and take pos
session of it. Many of the militia
men declare that they will under
no circumstances respond to the
call of the governor and assult on
the republican house.
The captain of one of the militia
companies stated this morning that
if his command came out at all it
would be to defend the republicans
house of respresentatives. He said
he would not obey any of the gover
nor's orders which were in viola
tion of law and order.
Over two hundred men look the
oath of office as assistant sergeants
at-arms in the republican house
this morning and the adjutant
general was buisy deputizing as
sistants all clay for the populists.
At 11 o'clock Governor Lewelling
sent an order by telegraph to Cap
tain Willis of the light atillery at
Wichita, comuu nding him to bring
his company, with Galling guns, to
Topeka by the first train, and to As
semble in the state house and wait
further orders. When the republi
cans learned of this move they de
termined to light. Individual re
publicans were dispatched to the
Santa Fe railroad yards to secure
shopmen to help oppose the attack
from the militia.
Republicans are pouring into
town from all directions, and it is
certain a conllict will occur. Speak
er Douglass of the republican
house has issued a call to all citi
zens, asking their active support to
tight the "force of anarchy and
revolution."
About three hundred carloads if
the great German exhibit for the
World's fair have arrived in New

several shiploads on their way. Two
shiploads of the French exhibit are
expected in a few days and other
shipments from that country will
continue to arrive weekly for some
time. Hoth of these countries will
be represented on a magnificent

Bliss goes over these periodicles,
and if he finds them demoralizing
they are never put on the news stand

a provision, and if more of the news
companies would use the same pro
caution there would be less dan

Kdward Neligh an old farmer liv
ingin (Otoe county just south of
Wyoming was found last week in a
most miserable condition arid the
following is what the Nebraska
City Press has to say about him:
"Neligh is an old miser, of the
regulation type. Since 1S.V he has
lived alone in a little shanty on bis
farm in Wyoming. He made plenty
of money but he let none of it es
cape him nil J during all these
years he has had no one near him.
He bought more land as he grew
richer, and now he has nearly a
whole section of the best .farming
country in the state. He has about
lK",lMI to his credit in the bank. A
year ago a rich relative died in tin
east and he secured a couple thou
sand more. But unlike other men
he secured the cold 'King greeu'and
with those in his pocket to palliate
his sorrow came back to his,misi r's
quarters. The old habit ot saving
had even yrown on him, and this
time he did not trust his money to
the bank, but hid it about the house
During the (winter he has become
to feeble to take care of himself,
anil he was so filthy in his habits
that the kind-hearted neighbors
coul not pursuade themselves to
look after hull longer. A boy, who
had been with him for some time,
deserted him because he could not
get his pay. And thus deserted
and alone in his dirt and squalor
lr. Watson found him. Helpless
he lies upon a pile of rags, and for
six months he had not had a change
ol clothing.
Alter it had been decided to con
vey the old miser to the hospital
the neighbors came in and while
taken care, of him temporarily, in
stituted a search ol the premises.
It was generally believed he had
some money and to be sure they
found it, but in the strangest place.
Down in the cellar under u stone
they found one roll, and upon a
rafter in the old man's room was
another. From his bed of rags the
old miser directed the search. The
story seems like a chapter from a
romance,"
The Man In the Moon.

lluence on the affairs of lovers, but
comparatively few realize how very

it is believed, slides down to earth
on a moonbeam, ties the end of the
lover's queue to the top of the fair
maiden's nose, by a magical knot,
alter which nothing can prevent,
the union. The marriage ceremon
ies of this ancient nation are very
curious, and these and many others

It is claimed that a recent inven
tion by an Englishman com
pletely solves the problem of eo;il
smoke consumption, which has
not been entirely disposed of by
any previous invention, though
there have been many disigned to
accomplish that end. This device
requires that the coal be reduced to
line dust, which is easily done, and
that it be fed into the fiirnas in a
strong current of air. Mixed with
the air it entirely consumed, creat
ing a hot fire without a particle of
smoke. Many large consumers
of coal have adopted this device
and have found it very successful.
Great excitement prevails in Ar
kansas over the discovery of natu
ral gas. The discovery was made
by an old fanner while driving a
well. The piping was blown out of
the earth. This happened in tht
evening and in fixing the pipe it
was necessary to use a torch. While
passing near the well the gas ig
nited and a llanie shot up thirty
feet in the air and burned for six
hours. Experts are at work making
examination, and it is thought that
it will prove a rich find.
And now the Pennsylvania Wouse,
of representatives passed a bill
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
also their manufacture, in the State.
There must be lire where there is so
much smoke. This is the fourth
State that has entered a protest
against the cigarette.
