WAaillNGTON , November 17. Now that the
legislatures of tlio various states are chosen
and the political complexion of the new mem
bers cf the senate determined , there ia much
gossip na t j the make-up of that body. Twen
ty-five of the members are to bo newly elected
and are to hold their seats until JS'Jl. Of
those , six have already been chosen ; Black
burn in Knniiickyj Kimls In Louisiana , Alli
son in Iowa , Wilson in Maryland , Merrill iu
Vermont and Payne in Ohio. Of the remaining -
ing nineteen to bo selected , all will be chosen
this winter , exe-'pt a senator from Now Hamp
shire , in which state the legislature does not
meet until Juno , so that the state will have
but ono member in the senate next March ,
as.it , of course , wilt be after tha inau
guration of the now president. It ia
a. peculiarity of the state constitution of
Now Hampshire- that its legislature
always meets in mimmor instead of winter.
Of the nineteen now members to bo chosen , ten
are to be republicans and ninu democrats , and
when in their seats they will mika the senate
stand forty-oao republicans and thirty-five
democrats , counting tha Virginia readj usters
. is republicans. Thu status in which the now
members are to bo elected are Alabama , Ar-
kaivai , California , Colorado , Connecticut ,
Florida , Georgia , Illinois , Indiana , Mis-ouri ,
Nevada , Now Hampshire , New York , North
Carolina , Oregon , Pennsylvania , South Carolina
lina and Wisconsin.
FIIOMLA1IASIA ANIlUKANSAS. .
Considering thu states in their alphabetical
otder , thu indications are that Alabama and
Arkansas will be a ain reDroente'l by the
present occupants , Pngh and Walker. Sena-
'tor Pugh has had a good deal of legislative ex
perience. He served in the house , then in tha
Confederate smiate , and then in tli3 United
States senate , having been there sinca 188. ' .
Senator Walker , . who is just completing
his six-year term , ' 'was an oflicer
In tha confederate army , but had never bosn
in congrcsi bcfora his election to tha senate to
succeed Dorscy in 70.
KIJOH CAI.irOUNIA.
Th9 indications are that Sanator Sargent ,
who filled the Beat tic years ago , may bo tent
back. It is understood that In would like re
election as a vindication from the tacit nis-
grace which his transfer to Husaia was under
stood to imply. 16 is unier.stood , however ,
that Page , of that state , who bulldo/.ed the
Chinese bill through the 47th congress for
political cipital ani failed of re-election im
mediately thoraifter , will bo a candid ute
Pa e is a big , burly ox-stage driver , whi
drove the republicans of tlia17th congress to
vote for the Chinese bill ai he would a four-
jn-hajiJ team , tailing them tint they w.xild
lose the Pacific congressmen in 1S.S2 and tha
presidency in ItSSI if they didn't vote for it.
Tlio result of this "policy" wa-j that every
genuine republican congressman in the state
was displaced by a democrat in 1881' . It is
not probable , ou the whole , that the republi
cans will cart ; to have Page again In a position
to crack his whip over their must trusted po
litical leatleru.

CLEVELAND , O. , November It ! . [ Special to
Knima City Times , ] " 1 don't believe. " said
.lohn G. Thompson yesterday , "tlmt Allen 6.
Thimnau would accept a place in Cleveland's
cabinet , It ia not that ho objects to serving
in Cleveland's cabinet but ho dooi not want
any otlice. Mr , Thurman is getting quite eld
nud is rather feeble and ho wants to spend his
declining years hers in hia old homo In quiet
and among hia old friends and neighbor" . No ,
I don't think that Mr. Thurman would accept
a cnbiiict position. "
"Would ho accept a foreign mission ? "
"I don't think hf would.7
This is the general impression among the
friends of the "Old Hoinan , " although ho
never said anythingon the subject. It la said ,
however , that Ohio will be recognized in
Cleveland's cabinet , but who the lucky mnn
will bo u a matter < f pure speculation. Gov
ernor Iloadly would likn a place as ho does
not want to run for governor noit year , but
the governor has a good many enemies , lion.
George TJ. Convois is also epokcn of and there
U a sti ry current hero that Senator II. Ii ,
I'nyne will resign his senatorial seat to accept
the treasury portfolio in Cleveland' ; ) cabinet ,
and that Governor lloidly v ill pncceed Mr.
Payne in the senate. This arrangement
would suit the governor b tter than go into
the cabinet himself. The obj ction _ usually
mined to this is that the secretary will ha ex
pected to como from Now York. John G
Thompson expects something hundtoino for
himself.

rosoph Cook , the murderer of Leonard Kalil ,
vas lynched at this place about-I o'clock this
afternoon by party of citizens. Cook's trial
vas in progress , and the course of tlio court
AVO currency to a popular susulcion that the
uurdcror wns not to bo given tlmt swilt
, ml summary punishment which the heated
nibllc feeling demanded. Shortly aftur 3
o'clock a recess was declared by the cxmrt ,
, nd the prisoner taken into the custody of llio
.ttondlng deputies immcdiatoly tlio iiuoplo
ook alarm that Cook would bo spirited away
V the nuthoiitics for safe keeping ,
riio outrngcd feelings of the community had
already been ttretched to their utmost ton-
Men , and the fear that such a courao on the
> art of llio otlicors limy delay and possibly do-
"oat that retributive justice which It was gen
era ly lelt ho merited , heightened public in-
lignation to an uncontrollable pitch. A par
ty of citizens quickly banded together , their
ranks rapidly increasing with ready recruits
rom all quarters , and preconcerted the cap-
uro and lynching of the criminal. Just as
the olficors passed with their charge
ntotho jail the assault was made , "and
, ho otlicors , none too willing to defend their
wretched captive , were promptly overpowered.
3ook was taken to n windmill ou tlio outskirts ol
town and a ropj fastened to his upck and passed
> vor n beam of tlio deirick. Little ceremony
was employed , the doomed man being merely
asked if ho had nupht to say , to which reply
UK with an tndilfcrent i egativo , ho WHS
lioistod from the ground. The rope won made
fast below , and leaving the mill with its
ghastly burden , the mob quietly disporsed.
About ten minutes later the nhojiir ,
list apprised of the occ'irronce ,
irrived at the scene and cut tha body down.
Strange to nay life was not totally extinct ,
and n physician being called who applied re-
storativrs revived the man's lapsing vital
ity. Although at this liouri ( ( o'clock ) CooU is
fctill allvo little hope is ontortahwd of his recovery
covory as tliu terrible strangulation to which
ho was subjected lias induced several interna
hemorrhages which cannot but prove fatal ,
uj&ython li every .participant in the affair j
Known , aa no attempt at concealment wa
made , no condemnation is attached to the nc
or iU authors. Cnok'rf heinous and crno
crime hid so aroused the public scntimen
tlmt the lynching is greeted as a righteous ex
execution. 'I ho utmost quiet now prevails
and aside from the prcacuce of Intoreutc'
groups hero and there on the street dlHCiisHiiif ,
.he tragic aventllrio is nothing to indicate its

Thia ia contrary to the general aopposl-

As atrnw thus possesses value according

Straw should bo utilized for feeding , ns
It is considered excellent when fed in coil'
noctiou with grain ; and whoi
mod fcr bedding it should bo cut

composed largely of silica , do not bccomo
lit for plant food until after n great length

disintegrate it. All kinds of straw nro
