THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
War in lie Kansas Leeslatnre Between
Republicans aM Populists.
The Doors of the State noose Battered
Down With Sledge Hammers.
A Topeka, Kansas, special says; A
bloodless but exciting battle took place
between the republicans and the popu¬
lists’ house at the entrance to the repre¬
sentative hali Wednesday morning. The
populists, who have had possession of
the hall in the afternoons, adjourned
Tuesday until Wednesday afternoon,
and, as been tbe custom since tbe begin¬
ning of the session, the republicans ex¬
pected to hold their regular morning
session as usuai, but the populists swore
in a large number of arsistant sergeants-at
arms, who were placed on guard and the
doors and entraLces to the hall were
locked.
No one was admitted to the hall ex¬
cepting the populists and members of the
press and they were required to show a
pass and run the gauntlet of a d* zen
guards. Tbe republicans were fully in¬
formed of all these preparations to ex¬
clude them from the hail, and a hundred
men were sworn in as officers of the re¬
publicans, and at 9 o’clock the members
of the republican house, with their offi¬
cers, started from their headquarters for
the statehouse.
MET WITH WINCHESTERS.
The march through the long corridors
leading to the representative hall was
unimpeded. The little column forced
its way through the line of guards sta¬
tioned at the foot of the stairs in the
west wing and started upstairs. On the
first landing was a crowd of populist
house officers under command of Adju¬
tant General Ar'z. They were armed,
and the advancing republican crowd
were met with muzzles of revolvers and
Winchesters.
The adjutant general commanded them
to halt, but no stop was made and the
advance guard pushed into the crowd of
populists. Three or four of them suc¬
ceeded in passing tne doorkeeper after a
brief struggle, and getting into the hall,
but the populists succeded in closing the
door and barring it.
THE SPEAKER USES A SLEDGE HAMMER.
The republicans on tho outside de¬
manded admittance, and when it was de¬
nied them Speaker Douglass swung a
large sledge hammer and began to batter
the heavy doors leading from tbe cloak
room. It took many blows to beat a
passage ally way through, but the doors fin¬
gave way, and the republican legis¬
lators surged in with a loud shout. The
populists promptly retreated, and the
republicans
WERE IN COMPLETE CONTROL.
Ever since the opening of the session
1he populists have had the committee
rooms, the sergeant at-arms room and
tbe chief clerk’s room. These were
all locked and guarded on the inside,
but after the house had been called
to order the republicans battered down
the doors and took possession of
them without encountering any resist¬
ance. At 10 o’clock there were a few
populists in tho representative hall and
tho republican house had settled ('own to
the regular order of business, as if noth¬
ing unusual had happened. Assistant
sergeants-at-arms, each wearing a bright
red ribbon, promenaded the aisles and
lobbies.
BOTH SIDES SWEARING IN OFFICERS.
The republicans and populists are beth
■wearing in officers as fast as possible to
be in readiness for an emergency.
RECRUITS FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
thirty At 12:40 forty o’clock the republicans added
or recruits to their force, as¬
sistant sergeant at-arms cadets, of Wash¬
burn college, appearing in the hall and
taking the oath before the sergeant-at-
arms. The populists’ janitor undertook
to freezo out the republicans and shut off
the steam from the hall. The following
order was delivered by Adjutant-General
Artz to Col. J. W. F. Hughes:
You are hereby ordered to assume command
of all officers aud men of the Kansas National
Guards ! ssembled in Topeka aud around the
•tatehou-H . Lew By order of
L. D. ruling, Commander in Chief.
appointed The republicans during the afternoon
a committee consisting of
Messrs. Sherman, Warner aud Cubbison
to visit Governor Lewelling and agree
upon, if pi ssible, a mspension of hostili¬
ties. They proposed that both h<u«es
Bgree to adjourn until a case could be
made in llie supreme court and finally
adjudicated.
MORE TROOPS CALLED.
Governor Lewelling issued a proclama¬
tion at 2:30 o’clock Wednesday after¬
noon stating that as the malitia now in
Topeka was not sufficient five piovision-
al companie- would be organized* com¬
posed of voluuteers. Only three com¬
panies, however, of has been organized, aud
they are thirty men each. D. M. Scott,
republican who happened member from Hodgeman
county, to be in Ottawa
telegraphed that he would be in Topeka
with 300 armed men on the first train.
D. S. Anthony telegraphed th.t 1,000
men would come from Leavenworth. Co¬
lumbus telegraphed that 400 men would
come from there at the command of
speaker Douglass.
Sheriff Wilkinson informed the gov¬
ernor at midnight Wednesday night that
he was a peace officer, and demanded
that the latter turn over to him the situ¬
ation . Colonel Hughes, in command of
the state militia, went into the republic¬
an hull soon afterwards and told the re¬
publican members that if the governor
nsktd him to eject them he would resign
his Dosition.
ENDORSING THE REPUBLICANS.
A tremendous meeting of citizens was
held in Leavenworth to endorse the ac-
tiou of the Douglass home at Topeka.
Mayor Hooker presided and Hons. E D.
Carroll, Join Hannon, E. N. Morrell, D.
R. Anthony and William Hook made
speeches strongly endorsing the action
of the constitutional house in taking pos¬
session of and holding representative
ball. Strong resolutions were unani¬
mously house adopted endorsing the Douglast
and urging them to s*and firm and
offering support.
LATER NF.3VS.
A Topeka, Kas., dispatch of Thursday
says: The republican house is still be¬
sieged in the representative hall, and a
force of the state militia is still posted
about the capitol. Colonel Hughes
has again declined to obey the gov¬
ernor’s order to eject the republicans,
and the only resource the governor
has besides the regular militia is

A PEACE OFFERING.
At 2:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon
the governor sent an application for
peace to the republican house. It reads:
The governor offers, in the interest of peace
and harmony, and" that he will withdraw the state
military not allow the republican house or
its employes to be interfered with by the pop¬
which ulists. have provided been that all further proceedings

will not take charge of the militia. It is
th u"ht probable that the governor will

President Harrison is Desiroas that

' The message of President Harrison,

“To the Senate—I transmit herewith,

Thurston, W. R. Castle, W. C. Wilder,
C. L. Carter and Joseph Madden, c m-
ndssioners on the part of the govern¬
ment of the Hawaiin Islands.”
The president suggests prompt action,
and says that it is essential that none of
the other great powers shall secure
these islands.

A Topeka. Kas., dispatch of Tuesday
says: War is on in real earnest between
the two houses of the legislature and
blows have been exchanged. There are
sational now open Hostilities threats by and the populists of sen¬
at any moment
there may be something more than talk,
which has so long been indulged in. An
attempt by the deputy sergeant-at-arms
of tbe repub ican house to arrest Ben. C.

dsrs from the republicans, caused a con¬
flict. during which the republicans were
knocked down and several men on both
sides were badly bruised by blows of
fists.

TRADE REVIEW.
Reports of Bradstreet and Dan & Co.
for Past Week.
Brcdstreet’s review of trede for the
past week says: Features of the general
trade situation this week include a check
to business South and in portions of the
West and North, because of unfavora¬
ble weather resulting in bad roads. The
leading grocery staples, grain, cotton,
pork, low grades of cattle and hogs, are
lower in price, while advances are noted
in print cloths, leather, hides, lard, sug¬
ar, white pine lumber, rubber goods and
Bessemer pig iron and steel at Pittsburg.
The decrease of ^ cents in cotton prices
a: pears, based on 6ome unexpectedly
free movement which points, unless
there should be a perpendicular drop in
receipts soon, to a crop of not far from
6,500,000 bales, instead of lower totals
so vigorously advanced a few weeks ago.
Telegrams from leading southern mar¬
kets agree that continued wet weather
has had an unfavorable effect on the gen¬
eral trade, and muddy roadways have
checked the movements of commercial
travelers as well as mercantile collec¬
tions. At Nashville country merchants
are making purchases in person - rather
more numerously , than , elsewhere, but
Charleston, Memphis, Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Galveston unite in reporting
the other features mentioned. The car-
nival has interfered with the wholesale
trade , at Orleans. Depression in

1 WHAT DUN SAYS.
business, says <&. The anxious —wy efforts by of
.
banks for an issue of bonds by the treas-
ury and the refusal of the president to
authorize it, caused apprehension and
depression during most of the week.
Discretionary power was finally given to
Secretary Foster to issue bonds if it
should become absolutely J necessary, but
; ^ . • stated . . ... that . , he , belives necessity
is no ex¬
Mts. Moreover, quite a large purchase
of securities on foreign account, are
reported, which would cancel heavy ad¬
verse merchandise bailances, and to
that extent prevent gold shipments.
Outside of financial influences, the
course of business is undisturbed Its
volume is still large, though somewhat
affected by recent storms, and there are
fewer signs than usual of unsound or un¬
healthy conditions, though at many
points collections are somewhat slow.
At most southern poifnts business shows
some improvement amd is fair for the
season, though and the movement of cotton
is small prices are somewhat lower.
In the iron trade no distinct improve¬
ment is seen, for while business is large,
prices are entirely demoralized by the in¬
tense competition. Rails are an excep¬
tion, for 75,000 tons have been sold
without n reported change in price, and
structural works are well employed,
though at very lorw prices, but the de¬
mand for plates is not up to the capacity
of the works, and bar iron is quiet and
weak.
The financial outlook depends largely
upon this fact that oxports of principal
products in January were while $29,000,000
.smaller than last year, imports at
New York alone were $17,000,000 larg¬
er than last year, which indicates a
considerable excess of imports for the
month, and explains the heavy outgo of
gold. In February thus far, exports
from New York have been but little
below last year’s, though at cotton
ports very much smaller, and mean¬
while imports show an enormous in¬
crease—over 30 per ceDt. The excess of
imports over the exports seems to have
more to do with shipments of gold at
present than any anxiety about currency,
which, nevertheless, renders investois
extremely cautious aud orders many from
new enterprises. But those who dread
disaster may well note the healthy char¬
acter of trade and the unusual conserva¬
tism of buyers, and remember the rule,
that a panic that is expected never comes.

THE HOME RULE BILL
Accepted by the Irish Parliamentary
Party.
A London cablegram of Tuesday says:
The following statement of the contents
of the home rule bill has been officially
handed to the correspondent:
“The bill offers Ireland a legislature to
deal in all Irish affairs, and the executive
government is responsible to that legisla¬
ture. In all the maiu principles aud in
the political machinery it is provided
much better than the bill of 1886.
The Irish parliamentary party, at a
meeting specially summoned after the
delivery of Air. Gladstone’s great speech,
cordially accepted the new home rule
constitution as a satisfactory scheme of
Irish national self-government, subject
to the endeavars in the committee to im¬
prove the proposed financial arrange¬
ments, and to have the time shortened
wherein the laud question is to be with¬
held from the puiview of the Irish na¬
tional legislature.
We are authorized by the party to
transmit this resolution to the friends
and supporters of Irish liberty in the
United States aixd Canada.

COMMENT ON GLADSTONE’S BILL.
The conservative journals reflect the
measure in toto, while the liberal papers
approve and hear it, although at the
time picking at smalt news in certain
provisions of the bill. Some publish the
present bill and 'hat of 1886 in parallel
columns and tabulate their several provis¬
ions.
The Prince of Wales was the first to
congratulate Mr. Gladstone in the private
room of the bouse of commons after his
address introducing the home rule bill.
Then the s iuches of Teck and Princesses
Louise and May of Teck congratulated
tbe premier.
labouchere’s amendment.
Labouehere declares that he intends
to have as an amendment to the home
rule bill, the exclusion of Irish members
from the imperial parliament.
AGAINST TILLMAN.
Tlie U. S. Coart Fines Each One of His
Sheriffs $500.
A Charleston S. C., special of Thurs¬
day says: The United States Court has
decided the railroad tax case against the
stutr. The marshal has been ordered to
place the property in the possession of a
receiver and the county sheriffs have been
fined five hnrdred dollars each for con¬

Lindsay Elected.
Judge Win.Lindsay was declared elected
United States senator at the joint session
of the Kentucky legislature at noon Wed¬
nesday. He will proceed to Washington
to take his seat.
The Hawaiian Islands.
The total area of the islands which
compose the government of Hawaii is 6,-
340 square miles. There are eight islands,
ranging from an area of sixty-tbree square
miles in Kahoolame, which is the small¬
est, to 4,210 square miles in Hawaii,
which is the largest. At the time of Capt.
Cook’s discovery of the islands, upwards
of a century ago, the population num¬
bered 200,000. Since then the native
population has rapidly decreased. The
census of 1884 showed a total population
of 80,578—51,539 males and 29,039 fe¬
males.
The islands are to a great extent moun¬
tainous and volcanic, but the soil is
highly fertile and productive. Sugar and
rice are the staple products. The sugar
exported from these islands in 1889 was
valued at $13,089,302.
The word Hawaii is pronounced by
Webster, He-wii-ee, the first syllable pro¬
nounced like he in her, and the accent is
od the second syllable. The government
of this country has been a constitutional
monarchy. Iu 1887 a new constitution
was granted. The executive power
was vested in a sovereign and cabi¬
net of four members. The Sover¬
eign Queen, Lilinokalani recently s .ught
to replace the constitution with one ex¬
tending her own powers, but her 'cabi¬
net refused to concur, and immediately
the people rose in support of the cabinet,
and the Queen was compelled to retire
and yield to the popular desire. A pro¬
visional government was formed and a
commission was appointed to go to the
United States Government and ask for
annexation.
Mustard as Medicine.
Few domestic remedies are of greater
value than common mustard. As a con¬
diment and agreeable simulant to the di¬
gestive orgaus, it is found upon most
every table. Used in this form it will
sometimes remove obstinate hiccough.
The unbroken seed of the white mustard
is of some value as a laxative when taken
in tablespoon doses. Of more impor¬
tance is the use of mustard as an emetic.
A tard, tablespoonful of ordinary ground mus¬
taken in a cupful of warm water,
will produce copious vomiting in from
two to five minutes. On this account,
and because it is especially valuable in
emergencies, in cases of poisonings by
opium or other narcotics, it is without
an equal as a domestic emetic.
A Start in life.
Medical student—“People dou’t want
young doctors. How on earth do they
get started?”
Professor—“It’s simple enough. They
just sit in their office and fret and worry
over the rent until their hair turns gray,
and then the patients come with a rush.”
Go West!

“I Thank Ood and Hood’s Sarsa¬

‘‘Gentlemen: For the benefit of suffering hu¬
manity I wish to state a few facts: For severai
years I have suffered from catarrh and heart
failure, getting so bad I could not work an<l
Could Scarcely Walk
I had a very bad spell of paralysis of the throat
some time ago. My throat seemed closed and
I could not 8wal/oie. The doctors said it
wae caused by heart failure, and gave medi¬
cine, which I took according to directions, but
it did not seem to do me any good. My wife
urged Mr. me Joseph to try Hood’s Smith, Sarsaparilla, telling
me of V. who had been
At Death’s Door
but was entirely cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
After talking with Mr. Smith, I concluded to
try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When I had taken
Hood’s Sarsa¬ Cures
parilla
two bottles I felt very much better. I have
continued taking it, and am now feeling excel¬
lent. I thank God, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and my wife for my restoration to perfect
health. ,> Harvey Heed, Laceyville, O.

Rights of the Child.
One thought more—one that every pa¬
rent should consider: Children love in¬
dependence, desire something that they
tion ran call and their share own, hunger for a recogni¬
a in business matters.
Every child who has a lamb, a calf, a
crop of his own, has love for the farm
deepeued, and this feeling will last only
if the child is fairly dealt with when his
property is sold. You can make a child
love the f um by making home attract¬
ive, or lead him to hate it by making
him feel that somewhere else he will be
considered—not at home. A home where
the ch Idren are taught to look toward
one who will share their cares, and where
they are from infancy made partners in
the work, will tura out strong-hearted
men and will rarely be for sale.
Dog Language.
Little Johnny—“Dogs dou’t need to
talk, ’cause anyone can understand their
bark.”
Visitor—“Can you?’’
Little Johnny—‘ Easy as rollin’ off a
log. When my dog is at tbe door and
barks, that means he wants to get in;
if he’s inside the door and barks, that
means he wants to get out.”
Visitor—“Humph I Suppose he is
half inside and half outside and barks,
what does that mean?”
Little Johnny—“That means that
there’s a bigger dog than him in our
yard.”- Street & Smith’s Good News.
