8. Last week, at Prescott, Walla Walla county, Frank Sloan kissed Miss Ella Boone, whom he had blindfolded. She resented his action and, pulling a hat pin from her hat, stabbed him in the leg. The pin was broken off in his leg and blood poisoning resulted. Next day the pain became eo intense that Sloan went to the hospital at Walla Walla.

An X-ray machine failed to locate any sign of the remaining por tion of the pin, and Sloan grew worse and died. Miss Boone had remarked In Sloan's presence that she had never been kissed. This innocent remarked led to Sloan's death. WANTS RELEASE Mrs. Nation Will Appeal to Supreme Court.

ON HABEAS CORPUS WRIT. Her Husband Tried Appellate Court, but Found It Would Die Too Soon Smallpox Quarantine Still Holds. Wichita, Jan. 8. David Nation, husband of Mrs.

Carrie Nation, who sought to demolish a saloon in this city with roclfs in the Interest of temperance, announced tonight that he will ask the Supreme court of the state to release his wife from the quarantined Jail of Sedgwick county on a writ of habeas corpus. Today he sought to get the writ from Judge Dale of the district court, alleging in substance that the smallpox quarantine was placed en th county Jail to prevent the liberty of his wife on ball. Judge Dale told him that be was "wasting his breath" and informed him that he would not hear the matter, but at the sam time stating that he had his permission to take it to any other court he desired. Mr. Nation then prepared his papers for the Kansas court of appeals, but curiously enough when he reached there, 100 feet distant, that court Informed him that It had only one hour's statutory existence and would only complicate affairs by legally dying during the hearing.

It was then that Mr. Nation announced his intention of taking the matter to the Supreme court. MOURNING WILL BE BRIEF. i ttt ii i i. Wilhelmma Will Not Allow Death to Rtard Marriage.

Washington, Jan. 8. The negotiations which have been pending for sometime relative to the removal from Pekin of some of the subjects of international negotiations so that they could be taken up at Washington or at the capital of one of the other powers, have now advanced to a stage where there is promise of a satisfactory understanding among the powers on this move. The plan originated through a suggestion of Minister Conger, cabled about a week ago, to the effect that there was little prospect of securing united action on the subject of indemnity and of new commercial treaties with China. Mr.

Conger suggested that better progress in the negotiations was likely to result if these two phases could be removed from Pekin and taken up at some point entirely removed from local influences. Mr. Conger's idea met with favorable consideration here and the suggestion was made to other powers Interested that the matter of Chinese indemnity and commercial treaties be taken up. at Washington or at one of the other capitals. It has been the purpose to assemble an international commission which could pass on all questions of Indemnity, both among themselves and as against China.

It would be in the main a conference among the powers, although it is expected that Chinese envoys would be invited to participate after the proceedings reach a stage where unity of action among the powers la assured. The State department has already received indications as to the general feeling of some of the powers on tMfl proposition. There appears te be no reason to anticipate serious objection to the transfer, as most of the powers have appreciated the obstacles at Pekin in the way of an agreement on the two subjects of indemnity and commercial treaties. Minister Conger was heard from today in a cablegram to the State department. The text of the dispatch was not given out, but it was made known that in sub stance Mr.

Conger confirmed recent press reports to the effect that there was reason to believe the Empress Dowager was ex. ertlng her Influence against the aceept, ance of the demands submitted by the powers. It is the feeling among officials here that the influence still wielded by the Empress Dowager may lead to serious complications in case she-seeks to bring to a halt the negotiations new pending; The powers by stating their demands lo be irrevoile made them practically an ultimatum and while a refusal by China would not result in a declaration of war to enforce the demands, there would be a prolonged occupancy of Pekin and this might lead to fresh complications threat, ening to the Integrity of. the Chinese emv pire. The United States government Is seek ing to insist upon the signing of tha treaty by the Chinese envoys on the ground that they presented credentials clothing them with complete authoriiy to act without the necessity of first sub- mitting their acts to the imperial court for approval.

Based on these credentials, Mr. Conger and the other ministers at Pekin are urging that the envoys should sign without reference to the attitude of the court. In case the signatures are given they will be accepted as a complete expression of the will of the Chinese gov. ernment. WILL MEETjN TOPEKA.

London, Jan. 8. In regard to the criticism of the secrecy with which the bullying cf Shamrock II is surrounded, compared with the publicity In the case of the construction of the defending yacht, Sir Lipton says: "I do not bslieve the Herresholfs are letting out any details. Tfce secrecy we are observing Is nothing to what the Ilerre-shoffs exercised with their last boat. "Why, they even launched ft at night.

Moreover, do you suppose I wouLi challenge again unless I believed Watson had discovered an improvement? Why should I let the world know the nature of that Improve- dence for relatives and friends at a time not yet fixed. The public services will be held at the Armour mission.

DEATHS IN FIRE. Twenty-Eight thel Total of the Rochester Orphans' Home Disaster. Rochester, N.

Jan 8. Twenty-eight dead bodies lie at the morgue and 12 per sons more or less seriously injured lie at the different hospitals hi the city tonight, as a result of the terrible fire which oc curred early this morning? at the Rochester Orphan asylum. Of the dead 26 were ohll-1 dren of both sexes, ranging 4n age from I 2 to 14 years and the remaining two wer; adults. The fire, whidh was discovered at 1:10 a. m.

and was doubtless caused by an explosion of natural gas in the boilerroom adjoining the west wing of the asylum, spread so rapidly that many of the 109 inmates of the institution twere. overcome by flames and smoke almost without warning. In all the long and dismal record of fatal fires In Rochester nope can be found which can equal this on: in its general horror, in the pathetic scene, in which so many lives were blotted 'out; in the gallant sacrifice of lives of the attendants In, whose charge the were and in thV'saidi seenes at the. hospital and the morgue. That so many children were saved from the west wing of the building seems little short of miraculous and when the ruins were visited today one marveled that the death roll was not even larger." FOUND IN A PESTHOUSE.

End of a Kansan's Search for Wife and Child. Kansas City, Jan. 8. George C. Gress of Junction City is having troubles of his own.

Last November his wife ran away, taking with her their 3 year old child. Gress brought suit for. divorce in the district court at Council Grove, Kan. January 7 he wa3 given a decree of separation, the court awarding the child to Gress. He arrived in Kansas City this morning to take possession of the child.

He had information that his former wife and child were staying at 312 Westport avenue. He visited the house only to find that the wife and child had been sent to the pesthouse because of exposure to small-, pox. They went to the pesthouse 20 days ago. They should be released tomorrow. But how to secure the child is a question that is absorbing the thought of J.

A warrant for the arrest of Palmer has been issued by Justice Everett on complaint of Frank Hall, who recently endeavored to close the Sunday theaters. Mrs.

Chief Clerk Lobdell was rather astounded at the number of candidates. He decided, however, to try them all on reading the Governor's message and then let the members of the House pick the one which suited them best. The contest of lung power was terrific.

Some of the candidates could not make themselves heard in the hall, while others bellowed out the words In such a chopped up way the members could not tell whether they were speaking German or English. After the exhibition was over, T. K. Richie of Crawford county was selected as read ing clerk upon motion of Representative Seaton of Atchison. It seemed so easy to get a man on the pay roll that immediately after the read ing clerk was appointed, members all over the House began Jumping upwlth resolu tions providing places for some of their constituents.

Seaton, of Atchison, and Harris, of Lyon, however, played the "watchdog of the treasury" act and the motions were laid on the table. OBJECTS TO WOMEN CLERKS. Seaton of Atchison Would Have None but Men in House. Representative John Seaton of Atchison, the "Father of the House," strenuously objects to the employment women clerks In the Legislature. He thinks that none but men should be em ployed wherever possible.

The first reso lution offered yesterday in the House was one by Captain Seaton providing that the House In employing clerical help should give the preference to men when they are capable. Mr. Seaton urged that the rules be suspended and the resolution adopted at once. Ed Weilep of Cherokee, however, objected and the resolution went over under the rules. It will probably come up for consideration today.

"Men shopld be given the preference," said Mr. Seaton. "They are the ones who keep the Republican party in control and they should be rewarded." JOHN SEATON GOT WEATHY. Did Not Want Committee to Inspect Titles of Bills. "They'll have committees to wipe our noses next," ejaculated Captain John Seaton wrathfully yesterday afternoon in the House.

"That fellow over there," pointing to the Populist side of the House, "wants to make Jhe people of Kansas think we are all chumps." The trouble all arose over a resolution introduced by Noah L. Bowman, the Populist member from Allen county, to provide for a committee of seven to inspect the titles of bills before they are presented for the consideration of the House to insure them being perfect. Mr. Bowman endeavored to have the resolution adopted under a suspension of the rules but Seaton cf Atehlamnd several other Republicans objected and it went over under the rules. It was urged by the Republicans that the resolution meant the establishment of a new standing committee with a clerk and stenographer for no earthly purpose whatever.

It was pointed out that the committee of the whole House inspects the titles of all bills and that the proposed committee is worse than useless. TWO REPRESENTATIVES ILL. Wise, of Reno and Richardson of Pot- awatomis Were Absent Yesterday. Representative Z. L.

Wise, of Hutchinson, is seriously ill with peritonitis at Mrs. Splvey's boarding house in this city. His condition is such as to excite consider able anxiety. Representative T. J.

There will be no cabinet meeting today and the Invitations for the diplomatic reception to morrow night have been recalled. The reception will be held at a future time not yet decided upon.

At 5 o'clock this evening Secretary Cortelyou said concerning the President's illness: "The President's cold has developed into a well defined case of grip. The physician states that there are no complications and that everything is progressing favorably, The disease must run its regular course ari tho President therefore is not likely to be out of his room for some days." COSTS WERE HEAVY. Morrison Case Cost County $5- 500 Granted by the Commissioners. Special to the Capital El Dorado, Jan. 8.

The county commissioners have met and allowed the costs In the Jessie Morrison case. They amounted to $3,300. The commissioners granted the bills without any difference. Notwithstanding the costs in the case, the commissioners are in favor of having the case tried again, and the defendant vigorously prosecutes. FOR THE INAUGURATION.

In the meantime Speaker Barker Will Name His Committees Detailed Beport of Yesterday's Promptly at noon yesterday, Secretary of State George A.

Clark called the House of Representatives to order. He wasted no words, but at once called, upon the Rev. John Moorehead of Baldwin, the new chaplain of the House, for prayer. Mr. Mcorehead's prayer was short.

He simply asked for the divine blessing upon the members of the House during their coming labors. The path of office was administered to the Representatives by Associate Justice W. A. Smith of the Supreme court. The members were called to the clerk's desk In block of 20.

The oath of office was then administered, and the official roll signed by them. The ceremony lasted nearly an hour. "Who will you have for temporary speaker," asked Mr. Clark, when the work of swearing In the members had been completed. "Mr.

Secretary," said Representative D. D. Hoag of Wyandotte, "I place In nomination Major J. B. Remington of Miami." Upon motion of Representative Ed.

Wellep of Cherokee, the election was made unanimous, and Major Remington at once escorted to the chair. C. E. Lob-del." was then made temporary secretary. When nominations for Speaker were called for Mr.

Hoag nominated George J. Barker of Douglas and Mr. Weilep presented the name of W. J. Babb of Sedgwick.

The roll was called and Mr. Barker was declared elected by a vote of 80 to 41. Mr. Babb voted for Mr. Barker.

The latter was not present. John Seaton of Atchison, Henry F. Ma-sor of Finney and W. J. Baob of Wichita were appointed a committee to escort Mr.

Barker to the chrdr. Upon taking his seat. Mi. Barker said: "There is a time in every man's life when he feels his own and his inability to meet the occasion. I will endeavor to be nonpartisan and discharge my duties conscientiously and In the interest of sound legislation.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this honor." The further organization of the House was taken up at once. D. McKeever of Shawnee and F. H. Dunham of Lincoln were placed in nomination for Speaker pro tem.

Mr. McKeever, the Representative of the Republican side of the House, was elected by a vote of 81 to 38. D. D. Hoag of Wyandotte and Ed.

Wellep of Cherokee, representing the Republicans and and Popuhsts respectively, presented for officers of the House the caucus nominees of their parties, 'a he Re-pvbllcan nominees were elected by acclamation. Upon the motion of Mr. Hoag of Wyandotte the ohlef clerk was authorized to notify the Senate that the House was ready for the consideration of business. Major Remington of Miami then intro duced House concurrent resolution No. 1 providing for the appointment of a com- mittee of five, three on the part of the House and two on the Senate to notify the Governor that the Legislature was organized and ready to consider any communication he might desire to submit.

The Speaker then appointed Seaton of Atchison, Remington of Miami and Babb of Sedgwick as the oommltttee on the part of the House. Hardly had the resolution been adopted before Secretary Sheldon of the, Senate appeared and notified the House that the Senate was organized and had appointed a committee on the part of the Senate to wait on the Governor. In order to save time, the Senate resolution was adopted. Upon motion of Weilep of Cherokee the rules of the last House were adopted temporarily until the committee on rules can report. The use of the House upon the evenings "of January 9, 10 and 11 was tendered the State Board of Agriculture upon the motion of Hoag of Wyandotte.

On motion of Hoag of Wyandotte, the House took a recess until 3 o'clock. Immediately after the House reconvened yesterday afternoon the Governor's message was taken up. The reading of the message occupied about three hours. Upon the motion of Mason, of Finney, the message was referred to a special committee of three, with Instructions to divide it up and refer It to the proper standing committees. Following was the committee appointed: Mr.

Mason of Finney, Mr. Reese of Allen, Mr. Dunham of Lincoln. Speaker Barker was granted a door-' keeper, stenographer and a page on the motion of Mr. Francis of Allen.

The drawing of seats was the signal for a great hubbub. First the deaf and disabled members were allowed to select seats and then the old members had ohance. The greater number of the members had to stand in the back of the hall, wait until their county was called and then make a football rush for the best seats left. It took about half an hour to seat the House. The House adjourned at 5:20 o'clock until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in order to give Speaker Barker time to appoint his committees.

'The hour fixed by the constitution for convening the Senate has arrived." With these words Lieutenant Governor Harry Richter formally opened the upper body of the Kansas Legislature yesterday at noon. Not a dozen spectators were in the gallery and there was nothing unusual to mark the occasion. On President Rlchter's desk was a magnificent bunch of white roses, and carnations and roses were conspicuous on the desks of some of the members.

After the floor was cleared of all but those entitled to stay, prayer was offered by the Rev. D. M. Fisk, pastor of the First Congregational church of this city. Dr.

Fisk made an earnest and eloquent appeal for divine guidance in the legislative deliberations about to commence-. He spoke of the stern responsibilities resting upon all men in these times, when all our deeds touch men. At the close of Dr. Fisk's prayer, the members took the oath of office in blocks of 10. The oath was administered by Mr.

Dumont Smith of Kinsley because 5f defective hearing was allowed first choice of seats on the majority side. This courtesy was also extended to Sena tors Carpenter, Morrow and Ward, because of ther long service as members of Ithe upper deliberative body.
