II 6 wean In 1,000 Deputies and Take
Charge of the Capitol Building Tha
Populist Loaders Bold a Confer
eace and Decide to Abandon
the Attempt to Capture
the Kansas House.
Topkka, Kan,, Feb. .. The crisis
ia the warlike ait-ssKleir iboufc the
state cpitol reached Ittvuax at noon
to-day, when 500 deputy criffs under
command of Sheriff VVUkrson marched
tip the east side of Kansas avenue all
armed, and gathered in front of the
Copeland hotel a block from the cap
itol, and Sheriff J. M. Wilkerson then
announced that he would forcibly take
possession of the capitol building at 1
o'clock.
This sensational action was taken
in pursuance of the following letter
to the governor, written at midnight
as follows:
To the Governor: I, as sheriff of Shawnee
. county, an charged with the duty of preserv
ing the paaoe within the territorial limits of
(this county. I am advised that you have
called upon the military power of the state to
preserve the peace in this county. I wlnh to
inform you that this action oa your part is
without my consent or concurrence and in
wholly unnecessary, as I have at no time in
timated to you that I am unable to preserve
the peace within this county. I now wish to
inform you that I am fully able and prepared
to enforce the laws and preserve peace and
order and It Is my intention so to do. Very
respectfully yours, Wilkerson, Sheriff.
At 10:30 .o'clock Sheriff Wilkerson
appeared in the lobby of the Copeland
house and read a proclamation stating
that he believed that the peace of
Shawnee county was about to be
broken and as peace officer of the
county be commanded that all citizens
come to his aid in preserving the
peace. He opened an office in the
reading room of the hotel and
within half an hour 200 men had
signedadocumentpledging'themselves
to support him. Two other recruiting
stations were opened at It o'clock and
1 1,000 jnen had been sworn in before
noon.' Each -was given the badge of
i office and ordered to remain within
calling distance. A. ii." Campbell, ad-
- jutant general under Governor
Humphrey, was chosen chief deputy.
The matter of arming the posse pre
. , Rented serious diffi rulties. It was de
U cided that it would be dangerous to
place firearms in the hands of so many
men anrt the' sheriff finally hit upon
- arming his men with base ball bats.
A thousand bats were not to be had,
but half that number were obtained.
The other 500 men were armed with
heavy sticks.
At 1 o'clock it was expected the
deputies would move into the capitol,
but after a consultation with County
, Attorney Ben Curtis the sheriff de
cided to wait an hour or so and see if
any effort was made by either side to
break the peace.
POPULI8T8 GIVE IT AIX UP.
The crisis raised by Sheriff YYilker
son's action was so critical a one and
one so filled with embarrassment that
the Populists decided not to mqct it.
At noon the governor held a confer
ence with the Populist house members
and various leaders of the party. The
governor said that the militia could
not be depended upon to carry out his
orders, that the resistance of 125 men
composing the force of deputy sergeants
and 100 provisional troops (all that
could be depended upon) would be use
less before the sheriff's posse of 1,000
men. It was decided to hire a hall
down town for the Populist hose and
there the meetings of theTopulist
house will be held until the trouble is
settled.
This action is looked upon by some
as a "bluff," but it is generally regard
ed as the logical outcome of the
sheriff's action in summoning his
posse to maintain the Republican posi
tion. All night last night the capitol, both
inside and out, resembled nothing so
much as a fortress in the midst of a
siege. The Republican sergeants-at-arms,
under command of ex-County
Attorney R. B. Welch, barricaded all
the doors nd kept strict guard on the
inside and militiamen were encamped
in the square, while pickets with bay
onets fixed guarded every entrance and
kept people from the vicinity of the
halL
Early in the evening Governor Lew
elling and his private secretary went
to the house, were admitted and cour
teously received. The governor made
an appeal to the Republicans to give
up the hall, but refused to make any
pledge and his mission was fruitless.
Ex-Governor Osborn also appealed
to- the Republicans to put an end to
the hostilities but he had no better
luck than the governor.
The scheme of the Populists to
starve out the Republicans failed ut
terly, provisions and later gasoline
stoves being hoisted up to the win
dows by friends on the outside, the
militia offering no objections.
THK GOVERNOR DEEPLY WORRIED.
Governor Lewelling, by his course,
had committed the executive arm of
the state to the defense of the Populiit
house, but he hesitated to exercise it
The determined attitude of the Repub
licans revealed to hian clearly that if
he pushed the authority of the militia
to the extremity blood would be shed,
and he did not want to assume any
such responsibility. In consequence
the mental strain and loss of sleep
gave him a worn and haggard look.
Asked at 1 o'clock how the situation
looked to him, he said: "Well, I don't
like it Things are not going just to
suit me." '
A&ked to explain, the governor said:
'Noj I won't explain. I don't want to
discuss this thing in the public prints.
There have been already too many in
flammatory resolutions and violent
speeches. I don't want any bloodshed
and I hope nobody will precipitate any
auch calamity. No, I won't talk to
you on the subject Let's wait a
while."
Asked if there was anything in the
story that the senate and Populist
house won Id haftt.ilv naca inm n
nary M!U and adjourn the session, be
said: "Yen, there has Wen such talk
by both responsible and irresponsible
men."
"But what do yoa think about it,
governor? ' ,
"I have nothing to say on the sub
ject just now."
Speaker Dunsmore said that the
Populist house would continue to hold
sessions in the basement of the state
house and later if the trouble be net
settled soon another hall would be
hired. lie said the house had no longer
anything to do with the scheme to re
capture the hall, that was now wholly
in the hands of the-governor and what,
he proposed to do nobody knew.
At noon sLty-five Populists arrived
on the Santa Fe from Lawrence. A
sheriffs posse of twenty men met
them at the depot and ordered every
man to be disarmed. Only a few re
volvers were found.
The members of the Populist house
will hold a meeting to-night in the un
finished south wing of the capitol. It
is understood they will recommend
that the governor formally dissolve
the state legislature.
COLONEL HUGHES S US PEN DED
The Commander of the Militia Refuses
to Obey the Governor's Orders.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 9 Colonel J.
W. F. Iluhges, comman nwof the Third
regiment, btate militia, who has per
sistently refused to forcibly take pos
session of Representative hall, was
suspended by Governor Lewelling at 9
o'clock this morning by this order:
Btate or Kansas, Orrica or Adjutant
Genekal, Topkka, Kan., Feb. 10. Special
Order No. 14 To Colonel J. W. P. Hughes,
Commander of Third Regiment, IC N. G.. To
peka, Kau. Sir: Tou are hereby relieved from
further services to the state of Kansat as such
commander. H. II. Autz. Adjutant General.
L. V. LEWELLUta, Governor. .
Lieutenant Colonel George Barker of
the Holton company was placed in
command.
Colonel Hughes said: "I am sus
spended because I have refused
to take ' forcible possession of
representative hall. When Gov
ernor Lewelling told me to go
up there with my troops and
take possession at the point of the
bayonet and at all hazards, I told
him he might as well tell me to burn
the capitol. It couldn't be done with
out kiljng many citizens of Topeka.
There are a lot of young men in repre
sentative hall who will resist any at
tempt to oust the Republicans. They
are armed, and though the force of
troops is sufficient to drive them all
out, it would be a massacre."
The first out of town company of
militia to reach here was company B,
Third regiment, from Holton, which
arrived last evening under command
of Captain Jqseph S. Jacobs. The
company is composed of thirty men.
Battery A of Wichita came in from
Wichita this morning at 4:35 o'clock,
bringing a Gatling gun. Twenty
four men composed the company.
They were commanded by Willis
Metcalf. Company G, Second .regi
ment, came in from Marion on the
same train. There were twenty-five
men in the company, under the com
mand of Captain Lewis. This makes
three companies of infantry and two
of artillery now In the city. In addi
tion there aro three provisional com
panies of thirty men each.
It was a grave question this morning
whether the troops could be depended
upon to aid the Populists Nearly all
the young men in the militia entered
under Republican rule and their
fathers are Republicans and so are
they and their sympathies are natural
ly with the Republicans.
The new commander, Lieutenant
Colonel Barker of Holton is said to bo
like Colonel Hughes, in sympathy with
the Republicans. He does not want
to kill people and he knows full well
that people must be killed if the house
is taken.
The officers of the militia from major
general down are Republicans and the
belief is that Governor Lewelling will
have to try many men before he will
find one whom the militiamen will
follow.
Colonel J. W. F. Hughes, deposed
to-day is a Tenaesseean. He has
lived twelve years in Topeka and has
served nine yars in the state militia
and had served seven years in., the
guard of Tennessee before he" came
to Kansas He is 34 years of age and
until three years ago was chief clerk
in the office of the assistant engineer
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad here. He is now a whole
sale coal dealer.
The adjutant general and governor
have refused to call for the counsel of
Major General K. N. Roberts of Law
rence, who is a Republican, and was
the last Republican adjutant of the
state. Just before Governor Hum
phrey retired he made General Roberts
major general. His authority to the
troops is direct and the troops are
complaining because they are getting
orders' in an informal way without
having them pass through the cus
tomary military succession.
WICHITA MUCH EXCITED.
i
Mass Meeting; of Indignation Held. Vol
uateera to Aid the Republicans.
Wichita, Kan., Feb. 19. On the
same train which carried the miliVi
to Topeka were a couple of hundred
citizens 'of Wichita, mostly Republi
cans, whose avowed purpose in going
to Topeka was to support the Repub
lican legislature and maintain its con
stitutional rights against any force
that might be arrived on the opposite
side.
The greatest excitement prevailed
ever i -ince the order was received from
Topeka calling out the militia, and
meetings of citizens and semi-military
organizations were held at short inter
vals, at all of which resolutions were
passed condemnatory of the state
administration and pledging all the
aid called for by the Republicans.
The first news received from Topeka
this morning was an order from Gov
ernor LeweQinjr commanding Company
A, Second regiment Kansas National
guards to report at Topeka for service
at tlee earliest possible moment
When Garfield post heard this, Com
mander W. P. Campbell and members
of the post took possession of the G. A.
R. hall in which the armory is located
And locked the doors so that when the
members of the company arrived to
get their uniforms and arms they
found themselves barred and refused
admittance, 'some of the members of
the militia forced their way in by a
aide door, but they were promptly
thrown out
On Captain Runyon's arrival he was
qnletlT Informed by Colonel ITal'.oweU
that the equipment of the company
had been taken charge of by a body of
soldiers who, as Americau citizens,
proposed to uphold the law and con
stitution of the state. The capta'in
was permitted to enter the armory and
a par ey was held, during which he
wait given to understand distinctly
that he could arm no recruits with the
guns in the armory and that the only
condition on which his men would
be permitted to enter wuuld be a dis
tinct understanding that no new men
should be enlisted and no guns taken
from the armory except the twenty
eight stands necessary to equip the
present enrollment of the company..
This was finally agreed to and the :'p
proarhes to the hall are now guarded
by four old soldiers armed with rifles.

IN THE BESEICED HOUSE.
Bepnblicans Constantly oa Guard o
Danger of Starvation Arms Keady.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 10. The con
testing forces Blept on their arms last
night and day dawned with the situa
tion unchanged the Republicans still
in possession of the hall of the house
jf representatives and the militia
guarding every approach to the state
bouse and patrolling the hallways
within.
In order not to be taken by surprise
during the night, the Republicans
filled the stairways leading to the
hall with ladders, timbers and old
lumber and thus entrenched, they de
tailed relays of men to Btand watch
while the others, after a song service
and some speech making, sought rest
The imprisoned men were supplied
with food from their friends on the
outside by means of ropes dropped
from the windows oa the north and
south sides of the hall. This was a
move the Populists had not antici
pated, ns they imagined that with guns
and bayonets at every door it would
be impossible to get food to the prla
oners. The Populists also cut the
telephone wire and' thought by this
action they had cut off communication
from the halL But again the Repub
licans were equal to the emergency.
They established a system of commu
nication by rope and baskets from a
window and thus kept their friends
outside informed of their needs and
were in turn informed of what was
going on outside. - ,
' This morming the Republican mem
bers left the hall in squads to get their
breakfasts and thus having fortified
themselves for the day, loaded baskets
wish supplies of provisions for the
sergcants-at-arms who dared not leave
the hall because the enemy below
would not permit them to return.
This was kept up until all the mem
bers had been out for their own meals
and supplies for their forces and at 11
o'clock the house began its routine of
business, which was interrupted by
Captain Seaton who annonnced that a
twenty-four hour's supply of provisons
was on the way.
About this time, also, some ser-geants-at-arms
appeared in the hall
carrying their arms full of Winchester
rifles, which they stacked up in Com
mander R. B. Welch's armory.
At 11:35 D. R. Anthony appeared in
the hall and was sworn in as a soldier
of Welch's army. He got through the
lines of the militia without a pass. He
was stopped several times, but he
stood the guards and their bayonets
off, saying: "I am a citizen of Kansas
and of the United States; I have bus
iness in this building, and, by God, 1
am going to get in!" His nerve par
alyzed the guards and he got past
them unharmed.
PEACE PROPOSALS.
The Governor Offers a Compromise Prop
osition to the Republican II o use.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 16. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon F. J. Close, Gov
ernor Lewelling's private secre
tary, appeared in the hall and
after a brief address, expressing the
hope that the trouble . might be
adjusted amicably, read the following
proposition from the governor:
The governor offers in the interest of peace
and harmony that he will withdraw the state
militia and not allow the Republican house or
its employes to be interferred with by the
Populists provided that all proceedings that
1 have been commenced by the Republicans aris
ing from the arrest of Ben C. Rich be dropped
and that the Populist numbers and employes
be not disturbed by the arrest of of&ciuls or
otherwise and the sheriff of Shawnee county
discharge his deputies and does not Interfere
or try to interfere with the acts of the Popu
lists and state officials including militia, this
agreement to continue in force until the close
of the present session of the legislature.
Having read the proposition, Mr.
Close made a feeling address to the
Republicans, saying that while there
was no doubt of the courage of the
men on either side of the controversy,
the shedding of blood was an awful
thing to contemplate and he believed
the controversy could be settled with
out proceeding to .such an extreme
measure. Having said this, Mr. Close
retired and the Republicans proceeded
to consider the proposition.
The house was at first not disposed
to do more than reject the proposition
but after a thoughtful debate, it was
voted to appoint a committee of five to
prepare a counter proposition to the
governor. At 2:50, the committee re
tired to consult.
. COUNTER PROPOSITIONS OFFERED. .
The committee, after deliberating
fifty minutes, report?d in sub
stance as follows: That a counter
proposition be submitted to the
governor that as the Republicans
having commenced test proceedings
in the supreme court the Republicans
dismiss all proceedings in contempt
except the Gunn case; that the sheriff
dismiss his deputies; that the governor
dismiss the militia from duty;
that the Republicans have full
and undisturbed possession of the
hall of the house of representatives;
that the Republicans will not interfere
with the Dunsmore house; that this
agreement remain in force until the
supreme court decides the test cases.
At the suggestion of Cnambers of
Comanche county, the report was re
ferred back to the committee to con
sult with the lawyers as to the situa
tion the Republicans would be left in,
should the lawyers in charge of the
Dunn case dismiss it Rosenthal also
suggested that it might be stipulated
that light and heat be not cut off from

WHAT IS MONEY?
Dargrs of the "Gold Easis."-Foolish,
tws of the Intrinsic Value Doctrine.
Fiat Monty Dt fined and Defended-
WHAT IF GOLD BE DEJIOHEIIZED?
Uuiy and How to Abolish it Letter el
. J.N. Kellogg on the Leading
Issue.
The value of money is created bylaw.
Upon the right understanding of the
ti uta of this assertion dept nds the rise
or downfall of our country.
Why is 25.8 grains of gold a dollar,
or worth a dollar? Simply because the
law gays so. The law says in the firt
place that gold shall be used money,
and jubt how much shall be put in the
dollar.
Fiat is defined:
or a law.
An edict, a decree
Now the fiat or law pays: First gold
shall be used and secoad that 25.8 grains
shall be coined Into a dollar.
This law of nations gives the value of
gold, with the exception of a Email
fractioial part, which is given to it by
Its intrinsic value. The Intrinsic value
r.f fmrMrg is the value contained in
iLu itself, and consists in the
iigri I i h can be made of it
Tlf 'of gold (abide from money)
is j.r .t-welry, ornaments, etc. Now it
id tt t n ai-td end is probably ntarly cor
rect, 1hac ibere is one part of gold in
every olo hundred need in, the arts for
jewelry etc, the other rinety-nino
parts are uted as moLey. Now let us
demonetize gold in all countries, or in
ether words take away the law, or fiat
making i. money, and make a unit of
bilver, or copper, or paper, or as old
Lycurgus did of ircn.
Ninoty-nine parts more of gold would
lie thrown on the market for commodity
oi domestic use. Suppose ninety-nine
timebas much wheat was thrown on
the market, what won!d it be worth?
I leave jou to imagine. It certainly
would be comparatively worthless.
It is ivideni that the law gives tho
vt lue to money. So you tee our unit
based on gold only has a real value of
ne part lu one hundred, nil the rest is
crealrd by law or imngined.
Nt w let us consider the danger of
the staple gold standard. There islets
Uan f 700,000.000 of gold coins outstald-'
irgin the United States Seme, of
these have been lest, evwo have worn
out by abrasion, fome ufed in ihe arts.
So that it is not now actually known
he w much remains.
A few thoutasd wealthy men can cor
ner all our gold and run the value up to
double its present so that the. people
mubt pay in labor or reduction, cr in
terest, douole to get it. '
Thus tho few are enriched at tho ex
pense ef the ninny. The foundation of
our republic is destroyed, the liberty of
the masses and their homes are gone.
The classes get the wealth, and, what
then?
There is not enough gold for our
money. The rupply has been gradual
ly learning for twesty-fivi years in com
ptrtet n with the population. If there
weie enough, why have any papor
rrccej at all? "Why noMiso the gold?
Or, if paper money is mere convenient,
why not use tho gold certificate and
leave ihe coin in tho treasury vaults?
Mercy is regulated by the lawofsup-p1-
and demand, more than anything
eke, beciii.Ee wc Cfn get along without
flour for jnsi8i.ee Coi r meal or pota
toes will supply ihe place, but money
we must have. Nothing else will do.
Ihe price we pay for money is the
interest. If the surp'y is large the in
terest is low, and vifce versa.
How- feoligb of our ration to limit the
supply of n.one-y to just what gold we
now have and to what may yet be by
chance discovered or perhaps borrowed
ireru foreign cations! Should we do
this ihe furp y will be so stubll that
the Interest may go up to 5 per cent
pei month.
Tins means ru'n.
W hen we eonside-r that interest at
10 per cent takes all in ten yemi, thon
the burden of interest is apparnt If
the supply of money is increased ee
that interest comes dowa to three per
cent per annum, which would cover all
cost of issuing, then usury would virtu
al." y be abolished. This amount of in
terest would not be called usury, no
one would have to pay more than this
price.
The powers that be are striving with
all their might to bring us down to a
single gold standard as our unite of
value for tho dollar. It will enrich
them. It will just as surely ruin us.
Let us tuckle on our armor and
strive just as hard for a gradual in
creese fef money uutil the iaterest
comet down to 3 pfr cent per aanura,
and cur great burden of debt is paid.
All increase of money after thin end is
attained is In flat" on and i-hould be care
fully guarded against. We are not in
flationists. We are for our homes, cur
liberty, our God and our c untry.
