She said that he did not work last winter and she the rent and supported him. Tom told Judge Miller that he knew the woman was married aud that her husband was living, and the judge required him to give se- in the sum of £200 or stand committed for two months. He Cut His Brother. Arthur Johnson was before the Police Court today charged with cutting his brother George and the case was continned until next week.

Notwithstanding this condition of things they have been assured of the sympathy of such leaders as Brice, Gorman and Hill. These managers have sent word to Kauens democrats that although the party in Kansas 1 in a state of “inoenous desuetude ” there are «til sh Jett to make it warm for the old enemy. r have been advised to make any kind of a trade with the people » party in order to take Kansas out of the republican column To thix end an effort wili be made to combine on an electoral ant state ticket, nnd if the people's party re- fuse to meke such « trade the democrats may support their electoral ticket anyway in hopes of deteating the republicans. They would thus take ten votes off the republican column and give them to the people's party, which, Teality. would be equivalent to turning’ the state over to the democrats, PROSPECTS OF A COMBINE. The chances of such a combine carrying the state Lave been thoroughly dixcussed. Appar- ently the coalition would have 30,000 or 40,000 majority, figuring on last yenr's vote, but that iv not a sate prediction Hundreds and thou- sands of conscientious democrats could not be delivered, because they are dixgusted with the efforts of the people's party leaders to belittle the sinte and Geery its credit.

On the other band, there are republicans who fear a democratic allianee deal. ‘They be- lieve it would nearly, if not quite, sweep tate. ‘They are consequently urging nd vigorous action from this time on in the formation of repnblican clubs, tariff leagues and county orgunizations. ALLIANCE CONGRESSMEN FAVOR FUSION. Of course the alliance Congressmen from Kansas are allin favor of fusion. It was a fusion that gave them their seats, But they will not get in again by euch combination. Th democrats are angered at them and will do all the: to beatthem. Without democratic votes neither of the five alliance Congressmen trom Kansas can be re-elected, as the result of the recent elections have demonstrated. Demo- crats and people's partyites may get together on eicctoral and state tickets. but they can never combine again in congressional districts, and especially on the present alliance member poles. renttien The Blues and Keds of Sunset. From the Popular Scieuce Month! Observers of the gorgeous sunsets and after- glows have been most perticularly struck with the immense wealth of the various shades and tints of red Now, if the glowing colors are due to the presence of dust in the air, there must be semewherea display of the colore complementary to the reda, because the dust acts by a selective dispersion of the colors. ‘The small dust particles arrest the direct course of the rays of iight and reflect them in all directions, but they principally retlect the rays of the violet end of the spectrum, while the red rays past on almost unchecked. | Over- head deep biue reigns in awe-iuspiriaz glory. As the sun passer below the horizon, and the lower stratum of air, with ite larger par- of dust which reflect light, ceases to be illuminated, the depth and fullness of the blue most intensely increase. ‘This effect is produced by the very fine particles of dust in the sky overhead being unable to scatter any colors unless those of short wave-lengths at the violet end of the spectrum. ‘thus we see, above. biue in its intensity without any of the red colors. When, however, the observer brings his eyes down in xny direction except the west he will see the blue meliowing ino blue-green, green and tien rose color. And some of the most beautiful and deheate rose tints are formed by the air couling and depos- iting its moisture on the particles of dust, in- creasing the size of the purticies til they are suiliciently large to stop and spread the red rays, when the sky glows with a strange aurora- like light. 00 A Live Issue.

No one moved or spoke, and again the preacher exteuded an invitation to the com- pany to offer remarks, but again his invitation met with silence.
