Merriam, of this city, has received a letter from a prominent business man of Vermont, a man who has been a director of one of the largest banks of Vermont for thirty-five years, in which he takes occasion to refer to the condition of the financial situation there, especially as affecting farming interests. He says: "Money matters are tight here and not much money moving. There is a terrible howling among the farmers about hard times. It is hard for most of them, for, as a rule, they are terribly in debt, and products are very low. Many of them cannot pay their interest, and no one wants their farms at any price.

So it is an up-hill busines." When a Kansas farmer or any western farmer fails to meet his interest, the matter is given wide circulation, and western investors are thrown into hysterics. The truthful picture which this correspondent gives ought to make the Kansas grumblers, of whom there are a few, ashamed of themselves. It but shows a fact which the Journal has often declared that Kansas is in better financial condition than many of the eastern states. By the way, the resubmissionists may find something in this comparison to think about. WITHOUT AUTHORITY TO TAX.

A Perpetual Injunction Restraining Kansas 1ty, Kansa, from Taxing a Two Hundred Acre Tract to the Union Pacific. The officials of Kansas City, Kansas, have 'been perpetually restrained by an order of Judge Brewer, in the United States circuit court, froti levying or collecting taxes on about two hundred acres of land near that city ovrned by the Union Pacific- railway company. A temporary injunction was granted several months William S. Carroll represented the city in court, and claimed that the tract in question was embraced in the lands and tracts consolidated into Kansas City, Kansas, by proclamation of the late governor, John A. Martin.

Hon. A. L. Williams, of Topeka, general attorney for the Union Pacific, and Charles Monroe represented that company, and declared that the governor, was without authority to include the land in the consolidated cities, because the tract was not included in the boundaries of any of the original cities consolidated. The original amount involved was over $5,000, but taxes have since accumulated in a large sum.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the announcement of a change in the time of the Rapid Transit's Eighth street service to Potwin. This change will THE INGLESIDE MINSTRELS. Getting Things Into Shape For a First Performance. Cl: The Ingleside minstrels held their regular rehearsal at the board of trade rooms Saturday evening and the rapid improvement i exhibited was a gratification and a surprise. There was some room for misgivings lest the managers were crowd- ing matters too much ana not taking as much time as necessary to get everything into good shape.

There need, however, be no fears in that direction. The entertainment will be first class and a credit to those who take part The feature of the rehearsal Saturday night was the attendance of the Lawrence mandolin and guitar quartette, which will take part The members of the quartette are A. D. Collins, first mandolin; E. L.

Swope, second mandolin; Dan Crew and A. T. Grubb, guitarists. The quartette played the "Winchell March" and received a rousing encore, to which they responded with Schubert's Serenade." The music is as fine as any professionals have ever made in this city, and it is predicted that the quartette will make a hit. Dan Crew, of the quartette, is an all around musician.

lie will sing a tenor solo, with a harp accdmpaniment, and may dance a clog. The program is in the hands of the printer. It is the largest amusement program, it is believed, ever printed in Topeka, containing thirty-two pages. It is illustrated and will contain besides some very interesting announcements from leading business firms. The program will be worth keeping as a souvenir.

The young ladies, forty-eight in number, who gave the fancy drill at the merchants' carnival at the Keith building last week, will repeat the drill as a part of the minstrel program. The sale of tickets is large and there is every indication 'that the Gf and will be full from the oichestra chairs to gallery both evenings. The minstrels rehearse to-night at the board of trade rooms. Wednesday, evening a dress rehearsal will take place. On Thursday evening the piece will be given at the asylum.

TOMMY RUSSELL. "Give me my key. My room is number eleven," said a little boy in a commanding tone to the clerk at the Chesterfield this afternoon. The lad was just tall enough to look over the counter. He was dressed attractively in a loose suit of blue with knee breeches.

A pair of light leather leggings from the knee to the ankle was an attractive feature of his makeup. His clothes were profusely decorated with gilt and white braid wrought in many shapes. He didn't get the key, for his mamma had already obtained it, but he Stopped a moment to talk with a reporter. It was Tommy Russell, who has famous as the little lord in Frances Hodgson Burnett's play, Little Lord Fauntleroy. Tommy is quite a gay young man about twelve years old.

He appreciates his prominence somewhat, but is not "stuck on himself to any un pleasant extent. As he waltzed out of the hotel office he grabbed a small hanger or placard on the wall and jerked it down unceremoniously, with the exclamation, "You shouldn't let such thinzs hang around the walls." Little Ray MaskelL who is also there with her mamma, is a child actress who is just now becoming famous as the little lord. Ray is younger and auite handsome, and Tommy himself is not a bad looking boy. The entire Fauntleroy company is at the Chester field. Valuable Papers Found.

Kansas City, Dec. 9. A special to the Star from Leavenworth, says that two months since there was stolen from the ticket office of the K. N. W.

W. railway a box containing valuable pa pers and $200 in money. This morning two trusties from the penitentiary found the box with the papers intact in the base ball park, but the money was gone. Chief Hay-In-His Hair and followers, from the Pottawatomie reserve, arrived in town this afternoon on the Rock Island. They are going to the Territory to remain during the.

holidays. They car ried a great amount of baggage on their backs. The pupils of the public schools are dissatisfied with the short holiday vacation which the school board has decided unon and are preparing voluminous pro tests to be presented to the board. They want two weeks' vacation, as they have heretofore had. M.

M. Haskins, sheriff of Marshall county, is in the city. Mr. Haskins is a democrat but will be succeeded January 1 by a republican, the first republican sheriff the county has had for several years. The board of railroad commissioners is in session to-day, considering numerous complaints and allegations of discriminations against the railroads, in furnishing cars for shipping grain.

A special to the Star from Leavenworth this morn ing says: Mollie Ward, a prisoner in the woman's ward at the penitentiary, struck P.

Hanks entered the ward to subdue the woman, and a struggle ensued during which she caught up a hatchet and drove the edge into his skull. 1 1 1 The Republic Solid.

Lisbox, Dec. 9. The imperial family have not decided upon a special policy, but are watching developments. They have not yet fixed upon a place where they will' sojourn. Advices received by the steamer Atrato, which arrived at Lisbon yesterday from Rio Janeiro state that the adherence to the republic by persons of high position who were supposed to be reliable monarchists, astonishes and discourages the supporters of the imperial government, and increases their fears that the republic is founded on a permanent basis.

TO SAVE HIS SISTER. A Chicago Young: Alan's Neck Broken by HU Sister Would-be Decpoller Chicago, Dec. 9. Last night Lizzie Jacobs, a girl of about fifteen years, left the house, and soon afterwards her brother John went out and found her walking with John Wissell and Paul Stockhart. He called to her to go home, and a scuffie ensued between the boys.

Jacobs was pushed against a fence violently, and sank to the ground gasping, his neck broken. He died in a few moments, No arrests have as yet been made. Jacobs was very fond of his sister, and her companions were undesirable. THE POPE'S BANK. A Stupendous Money Scheme To Be Engineered by Catholic Capital.

Whlnky Victims "Don't Die In the Houe" at Kansas city A Poor Soak's Miserable Death. Kansas Cmr, Dec. 9. sTohri Sullivan, a rather poorly dressed man about 33 years old, was found dead in the courtyard at the rear of McDonald's saloon, 1601 West Twelfth street, shortly after 12 o'clock last night, by the barkeeper, Sam W. Bartley.

Sullivan had come in a few. minutes before and walked directly out through the back door. When found his face was imbedded in the ground, and it is probable that he was smothered. -Sullivan has been used to frequent libations of the barrel house goods, and this produced a mild insanity, so that last week he was taken to the city hospital, and has been out only a few days. Since then he has been devoting himself exclusively to getting full, and most of the time fuller.

He was Western Union telegraph operator at one time, but has been out of work for several months. The coroner was notified and' the remains taken to the morgue. The orchestra at Crawford's will play selections from "The Daughter of the Regiment," Trovatore and the "Anvil Chorus," at the performance of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" to-night.

While the police were engaged in pouring the contents of the casks into the gut-iers, a large number of boys gathered up the liquid in tin vessels, and a number of them became drunk and seriously ill, necessitating the calling of physicians.

The President at Chicago. Chicago, Dec 9. The Union depot at Canal and Madison, streets was besieged by a mass of people at 8 o'clock this morning, anxious to catch a glimpse of President Harrison who was expected to arrive at that hour preparatory to participating in the ceremonies attendant upon the formal opening of the auditorium building. Mayor Cregier, General Crook, Poetmoster Sexton, President Peck of the auditorium company and the other members of the reception committee boarded a special Pan Handle train and accompanied by a number of other prominent citizens and press representatives were taken to Western avenue and Eighteenth-streets, where they awaited the arrival of the presidential train. When it arrived the president's car was attached to the special train.

The trip into the city was without event Within, all was handshaking and congratulations, over twenty suburban trains had discharged their passengers on the depot daring the time between 8 and 9 o'clock. At last the train stopped and the president was ready to alight on Chicago soil. "Three cheers for Harrison, "Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah." A roar ihat rattled the big windows of the union depot, burst out from 5,000 throats. There was a hush and then a crush and scramble, and the passageway between the crowd that had been made by the police, closed up with the vicious snap of a mob, mad for a look at the chief executive, behind the president, who was compelled to walk hurriedly, if not actually run, arm in arm with Major Cregier and Major General Crook, to the stone stone steps leading to the avoid the mob behind him. In a moment the president was at the top.

of the steps and in an open barouche waiting to. take him away. If the police arrangements were bad while the president passed up to the carriage it seemed to be the general opinion that they were worse when the balance of the left the train. Mr. Peck escorted Mrs.

Clarkson and. Mr. C. F. Bis-sell followed with Mrs.

McKee and Mr. Clarkson's portly form followed by that of Russell Harrison and a nurse bearing the Irrepressible and crowing Baby Mc- Kee. The only excuse the police can give is that the walk from the car to the carriage was made so suddenly that they were unprepared. There were a line of blue coats extending from the bottom of the entrance steps to keep the crowd back, but as soon as the president got to these doors the officers deserted their posts and ran up behind the head of the nation like so many' school boys, tagging after the village magnate. The result was a crush as one can readily guess when it is known that a mob of 5,000 people, hot and eager were thrown against two narrow exits.

"Three boys were badly hurt against the great oaken doors, the sharp corners of which pressed into their delicate frames and made them screech in agony. Many grown people were hurt too; none seriously. It was only through the personal efforts of Mayor Cregier that Mrs. Harrison was saved the indignity of being pressed upon by the throng and the rest of the party were actually pushed up stairs in a most undignified way as a result and there was straightening of bonnets by the ladies and smoothing of silk hats by the gentlemen, when they at last got into the carriages. Hoi-headed Brazilian Students.

Lisbon, Dec. 9. It is stated when the revolution in Brazil started, thousands of students armed themselves with revolvers, rifles and swords and threatened to kill the emperor and his family. A boat manned by students patrolled the harbor, it being their intention to intercept the emperor while he was embarking and do him an injury. mmmmmmm m-m mm mmm Electric Execution Postponed Again.
