E. Nettels and daughter Grace re HARD. TIMES IN THE EAST. A Vermont Banker Writes a Topeka Friend ou the Subject. E.

B. 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 It but shows a fact which the Journal has of ten declared that Kansas is in better financial condition than many of the eastern states. Bythe waythe resubmissionists may find something in this comparison to think about. WITHOUT AUTHORITY TO TAX.

A Perpetual Injunction Restraining Kansas City, Kansas, 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, from levying or collecting taxes on about two hundred acres of land near that city owned by the Union Pacific railway company. A temporary injunction was granted several months ago. 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 prove a great convenience to the people of Potwin and to other patrons who reside on Eighth and Clay streets. The Rapid Transit company keeps up with the demands of the public and this new de- Getting Things Class Into Shape For a First Performance.

The Ingleside minstrels held their reg ular rehearsal at the board of trade rooms Saturday evening and the rapid improvement exhibited was a gratification and a surprise. There was some room for misgivings lest the managers were crowd ing matters too much and 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. ine 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 NCrew and A.

T. Grubb, guitarists. The quartette played the "Winchell March" ana received a rousing encore, to wnicn they responded with '-Schubert's Serenade." The music is as fine as any profes sionals 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. He will sing a tenor solo, with a harp accompaniment, and may dance a clog.

lhe program is in the hands of the prin ter. 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 or tickets is large and there is every indication that the Grand will be full from the orchestra 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 a command ing 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 gut 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 become famous as the little lord Mrs. 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 email hanger or placard on the wall and jerked It down unceremoniously, with tne exclamation, "You" shouldn't let such things 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.

Grant that the solemn mystery of death, the common heritage of us all, the meaning of which all must know ere long may soften and hallow our hearts and feelings into the noble gentleness of the golden text uttered by the most conspicuous man of the century, in whom tenderness of heart made greatness of station and character more illustrious "Charity for all, malice for none." The house at 1.15 adjourned to next Wednesday.

The President at Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 9. The Uniou 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 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 during the time between 8 and 9 o'clock. At last the train stopped and the president was ready to alight oh Chicago soil. "Three cheers for Harrison, "Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah." A roar hat 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 entrance 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 party left the train. Mr. Peck escorted Mrs.

Glarkson 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 McKee. 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 cor-' ner3 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. Hot-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.

9. John Sulli van, a rather poorly dressed man about years old, was found dead the court yard at the rear of McDonald's saloon, 1601 West Twelfth street, shortly alter 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 the ground, and it is probable that he was smothered.

Sullivan has been used to frequent liba tions of the barrel house goods, and this produced a mild insanity, so that last wek he was taken to the citv hospital, and has been out only afew days. Since then he has been devoting himself exclu sively to getting full, and most of the time fuller. He was a Western Union telegraph operator at one time, but has been out of work for several months.
