[ Special to THE Bnn. ] The Dlock Hills bid fair to cut n conspicuous figure in the present legislature. That section is represented by an able body of men , among wfiom are Colonel Starr , senator from Lawrence , nnd 15. A. Fowh'r , member from AVhltowood , nro easily chiefs. The former has already taken : t foremost place In the senate and In the organization and has divided the titno with Dalian ! of Bon Ilomine and Urockway of Mlnnchaha. Ho is n ready speaker , a keen tactician and n pugnacious debater , and will take good care of his section. Mr. Fowler is likely to become ono of the leaders of the house. Ho has a quick head and forcible tongue nnd will make them both felt. The members from the Hills sit In a body In the front of the hull and on the right of the speaker and nro prepared to assert them selves. They are of course resuhinlsslonlsts nnd are earnest in their hope for a repeal of the law. They are also In favor of a world's fair appropriation and the icstoratlon of the commissioner of immigration to his rights and dignities and power to spread before the world the riches which nature has given to the state. Many of them also favor some law which will compel railroads and express companies to supply accommodations with out rendering their patrons destitute , and they will unitedly supx | > rt the movement to Increase the powers of the railway commis sioners and permit them to impose maximum rales. Such a bill obtains wide favor throughout the state and a majority of the members being f-irmcrs such a change will very likely bo made. Conversation with members from various parts of the state de velop an almost unanimous sentiment of this kind. Drnlurcil In l-'avor of l'uriiior . Some time ago Governor Sheldon was quoted as promising to appoint only farmers as railroad commissioners. Should ho do this there is likely to bo no radical change in the laws. But it Is now believed not a farmer will bo on the board. John Brenmin of Hapld City wants to be appointed and is backed solidly by the Hills members. Hugh Murphy , the Klkton rustler , and Frank Conklin , a personal friend of the governor , are also anxious for the place , and It is rumored that .loo Greene would not refuse it. But so far as heard from , not a farmer is beltiiT considered Titus Corkhill has hold the oillco of mine inspector for three years and is again tin iplicant. This ofilee is conceded to the ills , but Mr. Corkhill is understood , o have wavered in his faithful- ess to republicanism , and the Hills clcgation , including Sol Starr , are solidly upportlng Jack Gray of Terravillo. At n-cscut no other candidates from west of , ho Missouri have appeared on the scene , jut there are plenty from east of it. Governor Sheldon in his message recom mended an increase in the pay of the oil in- pectorand in cnso the suggestion is adopted lie olllce will bo a fat one. It is understood hat Stafford of Day county , a personal 'riend of the governor , will have the place. The present commissioner of irrigation ivould like to bq retained. His name is Buld- in and his residence is in Hand county , but aptain Sheldon of Hand , a namesake of the governor and an influential politician , is hero making a strong canvass and the chances "avor him. The governor is taking things very easy , and will probably not show his hand until the session is well advanced. By holding oft the appointments ho will have ample time to survey the field and will also be .able to put a wedge under opposing members at the ight .time. . HE IS AFTKK JliltllV'S SCAI.P. Streutor , the Illinois 1'opulUt , Working Acaiiist Him nt Toucka , TOI-KKA , Kan. , Jan. 8. A sensational in terview took pluco in the lobby of ono of the leading hotels last evening between Jerry Simpson , congressman from the Seventh district , who wants to bo senator , and A. J. Streator , the third party lender from Illi- is , who does not want him to be. At that session of the legislature of Illinois at which Senator Palmer was cliicted senator and in which the third party members held the balance of power , Mr. Streator was n formidable candidate for senator. Jerry Simpson , although a fellow third party man , took sides against Mr. Streator and in favor of Senator Palmer. He not only wrote let ters to the third party members advis ing them to vote for Palmer , but oven went to Springfield and la bored industriously against Mr. Streator The latter naturally treasured up the ac tion against the Kansas statesman and now that Simpson is a candidate for senator be fore the the third party legislature of Kan sas , ho lias come to Topekn to labor against him. Ho arrived yesterday afternoon and at once made known the object of his visit. The news reached Jerry Simpson after supper and ho at once set out to call Mr. Streator down * " Ho located the gentleman from Illi nois at his hotel and a lively interview en sued. Simpson asked Streator If it were true that he had come to Topeka to work against his ( Simpson's ) election to the senate. Streator admitted frankly that such was tho-objoetof his visit. Simpson asked wlij he wns taking such action. Streator ex plained. Simpson said it was untrue that ho advised the third party men to vote for Palmer and defied Streator to prove it. Streator drew from his pocket a telegram signed "Jerry Simpson , " stating that in his opinion the election of Mr. Palmer vrouli' best , subscrvo the Interests of the thin party , Simpson declared that the tolcgrau was n forgery , whereupon Streator ex claimed that that statement was not true und that Simpson know it. Simpson gron white with rage and n personal encountei between the two men seemed imminent when friends intervened , Streator is not working for any particulai candidate , but announces that the clcctloi of some mlddle-of-tho-road populist will bcs subserve the interests of the pcoplo of the third party.

Jmployc * of thlri Ko' Tumping Stilt Ion Multo Tholr Wiintt Known. CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 8. The calamity of n vater famlno was narrowly escaped by Chi- ago today , and It would have been n famlno vhlch in all probability would not huvo been cllcved before spring. Captain MclCee , who for thirteen years ms been keeper of the crib of the Chicago lumping station , was jerked out of Ills job 10 suddenly this morning that his head is mrdly through buzzing yet. He was discharged by City Engineer Clarke iccauso of a report that the men under Mc- Ceo Intended to allow the ice to accumulate jround the crib , so that the supply would bo shut off , and then they intended to strike , lemauding the removal of McKee , whom they claimed had treated them badly. The situation was ono which admitted of no argu- ncnt and McICeo's olllcial head rolled into , ho basket as soon as the condition of things > ecnmo known at the city hall. The strike f brought about would have been most dis- istrous. Intensely cold weather wouht soon iavp formed a mass of Ice. calculated the engineers , that nothing but dynamite or the rotmn of spring could remove. A consultation was called at the city en- gineer's.ofllco this morning to take action in : -cgard to the rumors which had reached there and action prompt and decisive was decided upon. City Engineer Clarke sent for Captain AVUllam H. Dalil , the assistant vessel dis patcher , and then wrote a letter to Captain McKco removing him from oflico instanter and appointing Captain Dahl in his place. " 'At 10'U : ) o'clock in the forenoon Chief John AV. Coghlan , of the waterworks , Kngirieer Vineyard of the department and Captain Dahl. stopped on board a tug and a start was made for the crib , which was reached shortly after H o'clock. Captain McKco was at the landing and the letter from the city engineer was bunded him. Ho read and then walked down stairs tovhoro flf teen men were at work keeping the ice from the intake ports. " " ho said "I've been "Boys , , discharged and am going to leave. I want you to go with mo. " The men did not appear unanimous in responding spending to the invitation and but llvo threw down their tools and Joined their chief. The entire party was quickly taken to the shore. The cause of complaint against McKco by the men was that notwithstand ing the fact that they were often compelled to work all night in the icy water , tlfey could get nothing warm to drink , and that the AlcICeo family occupied all the habitable quarters at the crib , compelling the men to sleep in rooms at and below the water level. City Engineer Clarke denied vehemently this evening that any conspiracy had ex isted to allow the crib to freeze up. Ho told a reporter several times that nothing of the kind had been thought of. In the midst of his denials his assistant , Mr. Coghlan , walked in , and Clarke ordered him to tell the reporter that there was no danger of the cribs being allowed to freeze , and his assist ant promptly informed him that there had been a conspiracy to that effect and that It had been nipped in the bud. "I lot MclCee go for his lack of discipline , " said Mr. Clarke , "and I guess I did better than I thought I did. " ii-uicr.ii.iyrn. AVASUIXOTOX , D. C , , Jan. 8.

On Sunday morning nt5 o'clock the woman shot and Instantly killed herself at her house , 214 North Ninth street. Claudia Miuifoo was n handsome mulatto about 24 .years of ago and acted as landlady at the resqrt where she killed herself. Late Saturday nlsht the woman's lover , M. V. Harvey , a white man from Cnrrall , In. , and a bartender for , T. , T. Wlelnnd of that place , visited the plnco and went with the woman to her room. During tl.o night both drunk considerably , but probably not more than they were In the habit of doing. AloiiR about 5 o'uloclc Harvey told the woman that he had been out sleigh riding with some one , ana nt once excited her curiosity. She bepgod Harvey to tell her who ho had been out with , but , to teasiThor , ho refused. Without saying a word the woman , who was in bed , opened a drawer In her dressing case which was wlth'tn reach , and took from it a revolver. Quick as a Hash she placed the inuzzlo of the weapon to her loft temple ( slio was left handed ) and llred the shot which ended her life. Harvey was sitting In a chair near the bed at the time , so ho claims , but was not near enough to prevent the shooting. Ho at once called to the women in the next room , and one of the Inmates wont for an ofllcer. After summoning the coroner Ofllccrs Vunous and Brady took Harvey in charge and sent him to the jail , where ho was held on suspicion , pending a hearing. Coroner Maul held an Inquest yesterday afternoon and went into the case thoroughly. The jury visited the house , and after hear ing all of the testimony returned n verdict of suicido. Harvey waa then released from cus tody. Ho claimed while on the witness stand that ho had known the girl for about live years , and llrst got acquainted with her when ho operated a blacksmith shop in Council Bluffs some years ago. The mother of the dead girl , who lives In Council Bluffs , called at the morgue last evening and cried bitterly as she looked down on the body of her daughter.

Officer Godola was near and rushing , up-wrested the knife away and called for help. < i Other ofliccrs in the vicinity responded , promptly and it took llvo strong policemen .to . bundle Erskin. The patrol wagon was out on a call and a start was made towunli walking the insane prisoner to the Jail , but ho wouldn't go. Ho fought at cverv- step , ho kicked tit the oflicers who trlcdi-.to . hold him and bit the hands of the mdn who had a tight grip on his arms. i It was a flght otone man , driven crazy by drink , against fivo. able-bodied policemen , and the prisoner came very nearly getting the best of 'the "coppers" several times. The oflicers managed togot their man as far as the Paxton hoteliaud then an express wagon was called , and after a.hard'llght , which was witnessed by fully 200 people , the police finally got Lrskin into the wagon and carted him away to jail. A.doctor was called and examined and dressed the few scratches on the body of the patient and then muffs were placed on his hands to prevent another at tempt at self-destruction. During the evening a telephone message was received from Lincoln saying that the parents of the deranged young man would arrive today to take him in charge. Erskin , who is.a gold cure "grauuate , " has been drinking very hard lately and usually came to Omaha to have his sprees.

SENATOR WARREN'S ' WORK What the Busy Young Min from Wyoming Ens Accomplished , HE REPRESENTS HIS HOME PEOPLE m.rUAro rir < t for III * Main mill Thru for the \Vrl nt l.arco lln U N < nr riuli Fnnrnriti AVASIUNOTON , D. C. , Jan. 0. ( Special Cor respondence of Tun llKB. ] If the people-of the now state of Wyoming know when they nrowoll off , thpy will see to It that mi change in their representation Is made thus early , in Its career as a state. His a well- established fact that the people who leave their representatives , when they are good ones , undisturbed for n long tlmo , hold Urn advantage. All the host committees go to the old nioml > crs , This is especially Uuo In the senate , where the shadow of "senatorial precedence" broods over nil. The venerable Justin S. Merrill , at the head of the committee on finance , lias been in continuous service , llrst in the house and aftcrward's in the senate , slnco IS. > 0 , nnd Senator William B. Allison , chairman of the appropriation committee , was sent by his people to represent their Interests in the lower house In ISM , and ho has been in con tinuous service over since. It is the same way in the liouso , no matter which party predominates , all the Important places arc given to men of long experience , as they should be. Now and thru a new member who is pecu liarly fitted fur ono of the better places , like the junior senator from AVyomlng , Francis E. Warren , who is now before his people for the re-election that ho so richly deserves , steps into some pretty good things to begin with , but It Is really in a second term that a man is able to show what he can do for his people. Mr. AVarren had no committee appoint ments In the Fifty-first congress , but in the make up of this was made chairman of the committees on irrigation nnd reclamation of the arid lands , and a member ot the com mittees on agriculture , mines nnd mining , engrossed bills and woman suffrage. Five important committees for a br.in-now sen ator , with the chairmanship of ono ol them , HU Work fortliu West. That his qualifications for n place on these committees , so directly in the interest of the west , have not been overrated , he was not slow to demonstrate. During the first ses sion of the Fifty-first congress he introduced n bill for irrigation and reclamation of arid lands , for the protection of forests nd utili zation of pasturage , and for other purposes conducive to tno welfare of the west. July 21 he delivered a most comprehensive speech upon the subject , which lias been printed nnd is being widely circulated , numerous request * coming from all parts of tht > country for copies of it. People are becoming interested in this question which grows in im- portaneo as our more valuable lands become scarce. Mr. Warren takes the ground that the government , having appropriated $10- 1)00,01)0 ) ) to 0,000,000 per annum for rivers and harbors , vyhlch in no direct way benefits the arid section , this arid region so long neglected deserves recognition through lib eral appropriation by the government to re claim the lands , or failing in this , that the states themselves may bo given the land within their respective borders so that they may proceed to the necessary reclamation. The bill has been reported favorably from the committee and is on the calendar. Sena tor AVarren has notified his committee , and friends of the bill generally , that he is de sirous of obtaining all further information that can bo procured , because it is his wish to amend the bill if it can bo improved. Other bills introduced by him are : A bill to re-enact the pre-emption law repealed dur ing the Fifty-first congress , so that settlers upon public lands may again have preemption tion privileges. A bill for the sale of stone lands , etc. , in Wyoming. This bill has been so amended as to provide for the sale of such lands in a number of other western states , and has passed. A bill to allow an annual salary of SI.SOO anil fees to registers and receivers of United States land ofliccs has been amended so as to make the amount § 1,000 per annum. It was reported favorably from the public lands committee and is on the senate calendar. A bill for the relief of the United States surveyor general from AVyoming has passed the senate.This bill is to reimburse the surveyor general for losses of property in curred in the discharge of his public duty. A bill to grant the Pan American Trans portation company right of way through Indian Territory. A bill to establish the boundaries of the Yellowstone National pnrlc. This has passed the senate , and has been favorably reported by the public lands cominittco of the honso , and is on the house calendar unobjcctcd to. A bill to sot apart the "Devil's Tower , " "Missouri Buttes. " and surrounding country In Crook county , AVyoming , as a public park ; is in the bands of the senate committee on territories , and will doubtless be favorably reported upon very soon. A bill to authorize the location of a branch homo for disabled volunteer soldiers on the Fort D. A. Russell military reservation. A bill to fix the mileage of jurors and wit nesses in the United States courts in the state of Wyoming has passed and is now a law. This bill provides in cents a mile for every milo traveled going and coining. The former rate in AVyoming was 5 cents pur mile , and that is the rate still where the witness or juror trnvnls by rail. The sen ator's bill asltcd , as originally introduced , 113 cents for every milo traveled without dis tinction. Among the army bills introduced by Mr. Warren are : A bill to increase the effici ency of the infantry ; a bill providing for the retirement of certain officers of the army , who were formerly in volunteer service , at the rank of the highest office they hold dur ing the war , etc. ; a bill for the relief of oflicers retired on account of wounds , with a number of other more or loss important bills concerning military affairs. DTho majority members of Urn woman suf frage committee selected Senator AVarren to nmku the report in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for general woman suffrage , which has just been presented to the senate. Altogether , the pushing , energetic , llvo young senator from Wyoming Is too valuable , not only to his own state , but to the whole west , to bo sot nsldo now when his work needs his fostering hand most : and howavur the AVyoming legislature stands , the pcoplo there will make a great mistake ! If they fail to nturn him , for he is really the pcoplu's senator and will bo apt to show the world some lull hustling In their scrvlco In a second term. KELLEY , STIGER & CO.
