The following morning, tne lanoiora being absent, the stranger paid his bill to the landlady, and continued on ma journey. "John," said the landlady, when her husband came in, "here's seventy-five cents a man left for his room." "Great heavens!" Bhouted the landlord; "seventy-five cents?" "That's exactly what I said seventy-five cents." Three steps took him to the room on the landing above. "Well" gloomily "that's fcr trying to be funny.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF TOPEKA. BY FRANK P. MACLENNAN. Wealhar Indications. Wathington, D.

September 21. Far Kansas: Fair Monday and Tuesday, slightly warmer, variable winds. The state fair at Milwaukee came out about $5,000 ahead, after paying all ex-'penses. The fair managers receive from the state $4,000. State fairs, as a rule, aren ot bonanzas.

The merchants of San Francisco are negotiating with German capitalists who have manifested their willingness to build a cable to Australia. The world would then wear an electric belt Mrs. Fremont, the widow of the late General Fremont i3 reported to be absolutely destitute. There was a very pleasing story about $20,000 coming to the ''Pathfinder" from the government circulating among the newspapers some time ago. The money however does not seem to have materialized.

TnERE are siirns of ereat discontent in China with the government. A long drought has been prevailing in northeastern China. The emperor and high officials at Pekin went to the temples and prayed for rain. The rain came, but too much of it The Yellow river overflowed and thousands were drowned. There is such a thing as being too successful.

J. Leeford Brady, has sold his paper, the Salina Daily Republican, to J. LBris-tow. In his "farewell" Mr. Brady says: "Mr.

Bristow, my successor, will give the people a better paper than I have given. He is more level headed and will appeal to the public on the Bubstant ialness of the matter. I have amused and instructed in a flightier way." The general managers of the railroads between Chicago and the Missouri river are considering the matter of reducing the number of passenger trains running between those two points. Many of the trains are run merely for competitive purposes and at a loss. TnE number of murders that have taken place in Cincinnati recently have aroused public feeling almost to the point it reached in the riots several years njro.

The pastors of the city are about to take action on the matter. They express their belief that the saloon is the chief cause of crime. The Western Authors and Artists club will meet at Kansas City, October 8th. All literary minded people are invited to be present The program for the coming meeting includes a paper by J. A.

Graham; "The Lone Grave on Cheyenne Mountain," a sketch, by W. U. Tibbals of 1 ark college "A Child's Impressions of a ewspapers," a sketch by oble Prentis; a paper on the drama by Stanley Wood, of Denver, and a poem by Will White, the Kansas dialect poet Spokane Falls is composed of the material that builds cities. Work on the new exposition building was brought to a standstill last week by a Btnke. Two hundred union carpenters quit work be- cause the board of directors found it nec- essary to buy a small quantity of lumber from a boycotted mill.

Prominent citi- zens-bankers, merchants, lawvers and councilmen-pulled off their coats, and, haramer in hand, went to the. building and engaged in the work of laying shingles on the immense roof. Among those who could be seen on the roof were lion. A. M.

Cannon, father of the city; J. J. Brown, a millionaire banker and capitalist; W. II. Taylor, president of the board of trade; Mayor Clough.

and a host of others. The building will sureiy be completed in time for the opening on Oc tober 1. TnE Chicago Tribune sya: It is announced in a dispatch from Paris that a book is to be published simultaneously in Milan, Berlin, Paris, London and New York, in four languages, containing sensational details as to the private life of the prima donna and her marital relations. From the manner in which the book has been announced it is evident that the writer is a blackmailer who hopes to extort a handsome sum from Mme. Pattl in consideration of the suppression of the manuscript.

The fellow, who could be guilty of such conduct, whether he be "the son of a well-known impressario" or not, should first be horsewhipped and then ducked in a horse- pond. Even if everything he sets forth were true the authorities should not allow the publication of such a book. Henry L. Call went to Alma to-day to attend to three attachment cases which lie has brought against J. F.

Limerick the Alma Coal company for the National bank of Grafton, and Kohn, ivohenbran Co. The cases involve 00. The coal company is in hard financial straits, but an attempt is being made to reorganize it and carry the work forward. There is good coal there, and if sufficient capital can be secured, to operate the business, it will pay. Grand Opening at the Levi Millinerv 633 Kansas avenue, Wednesday evening, Sept 24th.

The Kansas Equal Suffrage association will hold its first meeting 6ince the cool weather at the home of Mrs. A. H. Case. ureet.

Newspaper Containing a Lottery Advertisement Held in the Postofflce. Washington, Sept 22. The first case under the new anti-lottery law of refusal of admission of a newspaper to tne mails, because it contained a lottery advertise ment, occurred at the city postofflce here early yesterday morning. When the usual sacks' of capers to be sent out of town arrived at the post-Office, a few copies of each paper were examined by one of the clerks. The clerk found that the Sunday Chron icle contained the lottery advertisement as usual, and notified the boy who brought the copies that they could not be received.

AT FORT SCOTT. Ft. 'Scott, September 22. Lieutenant Governor A- J. Felt addressed a large republican meeting on the plaza Saturday afternoon.

Hon. W. C. Webb, of this city, is paid the following compliment by his old friend, Hon. George W.

Martin, editor of the Kansas City, Kansas, Daily Gazette, from whose columns the appended item is taken: "While at the capital a few hours Wednesday we learned that there is a 6trong probability that the Hon. W. C. the republican nom- inee for the legislature from the Topeka district Shawnee countv, in the charac- ter, fitness and strength of its legislative delegation, has always averaged away up, and the selection of Judge Webb will have a tendency to raise this average. There are all sort3 of cranks in this world, and the judge to our mind is a crank on the subject of accuracy in all he does.

The judge has had a life-long and greatlv diversified experience, both as to condition and location, in all that conjri- useful legislator. He is a thorough law yer, has had extensive opportunities as a judicial officer, and has had large experience as a legislator in Kansas and Wisconsin. He was a member of the Kansas legislature in 1870 and 1871. He is skilled in drawing bills and has been the universal source for years of both old and new members who had ideas they desired formulated into a perfect bill, and in this respect he has had more to do probably with Kansas legislation than any other man. He was also for several years reporter for the supreme court, and is thus familiar with every line of opinion or law the state has.

He is a man of literary skill and judgment He never was a class legislator, but scrupulously fair in his consideration of every measure. Possessing also Industry and a good character, and cleverness with hi3 ellow man, it seems to us ne is a perfect man for such a position. He has also a fine mili- tary record." CHARTERS FILED.
