Some excellent cooks and bakers have been sent home from the school, aud more than one is now doing neat house work in a cosy little reservation home, or on an allotment. Private rooms have been assigned to several of the larger giuls, who have shown commenda ble pride in decorating them tastefully and keeping them in perfect order.

A Six-Year-0Old Topeka Girl Given a Fatal Dose of Laudanum, Tovexa, Kan,, Nov. 16.—The six-year-old daughter of John Swanson of this city is dead from the effects of a dose of laudanum given it by its mother last night. Mrs, Swan- son has been ill for along time, and her body suffering has so proyed upon her mind that she became demented. She has given up all hope of living, although the doctor says she s in no immediate danger of death. She was constantly expressing regret that she would be compelled to leave her daughter behind when death claimed her, and fhe determined to wake her with her. Accordingly yesterday afternoon she obtained some laudanum and during the night, without the knowledge of her husband, gave it to the child, This moen- ing when Mr. Swanson left home to go to ‘work his wife told him that the little one was asleep, To neighbors who called she denied aamittance to the room where tho lifeless body of the little girl lay. About 11 o'clock she sent for her husband, who at once ealled & physician, but upon his arrival the child had passed beyond all earthly assistance. as the Russians. Loxpoy, Nov. 16,.—The Barings' embaras: ment was due to the action of the Russian government, which, alarmed by the financial troubles iy the Argentine Republic during the summer, suddenly withdrew from the Barings £2,500,000," just as it with- drew £1,000,000 from ~ the Comptoir d'Escompte in the spring of 1889, its action at that time résulting in the suicide of the man- ger of the institution and the collapse of the copper ring.

PERSONNEL OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE. War Will Sarely Be Declared Against the Banilronas—A Contested Goy- ernorship and Other Things on the Programme. The political revolution which surprsed the politicians a week ago, and turned the curious gaze of the country upon Nebraska and other states of the west, expended its full force upon the legislature, It is a strango body which tho uprising of the farmers has swept into the capitol at Lincoln. And it is that body that can profitably be studied in an attempt to look forward and forecast the vesults of the upheaval of No- vember 4 LTHE METAMORPTOSIS COMPLETE, Tho most striking rosults of the alliance movement a pen 1n the legislature.

But the fight for the lepislature the independent movement is completely victorious, und on that point the success of the alliance stauds out so luminously that no one can fail to appreciate it. The alllance has a legislature that can organize both branches without consulting a republican or a demoerat; that can pass any measure its leaders counsel; that, if there were a vacancy at this time, could send a farmer to the United States senate over the heads of men who b been nursing the ambition for a litetime. The metamorphosis of the Nebraska legislature is about as com- plete as it could be. IL—PERSONNEL OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE ‘The radical cnange in the character of the legislative brauch of the government is not limited to its political complexion, Nearly all the well koown politicians and men of parliamentary experience were carried away in the fldod, and the tide of reform has washed in a company of men who, however well they may represent the sentiments of the people, are very verdant in the arts of legislation. The most extravagant dream of free traders finds its complete realization in the amount of raw material admitted free to the Nebraska legisiature. In the upper branch there will be six mem. bers out of thirty-three who have scen se vice in the house. These are John Mattes of Otoe; W. B. Beck of Cuming and Burt; W. A. Poynter of Antelope, Boone and Gre ley; G. ¥. Kieper of Wayne, Madi son and Pierce; and R 1. and G. W. Eggleston of Lancaste six senators-elect. Beck and Poynter belong to the allizvce majority and one of them would perhups expect to be its leader. Beck is a brother of the late Kentucky sen- ator. He comes of a family that has shown a good quality of aggressive Scotch brains in several of its brauches and would seem to enter upon the legislative Donny-brook Fair witha better claim to distinction thay any of his colicagues. But, tuking everyfhing into consideration, it is evident that we Lave a queer sort of senate to begin with, It is the house, however! that we must look to tofind the broadest expause of inexperi- ence, the almost unmarred wilderness of leg- islative debutantes. In the list of its hun- dred members there are two of state reputa- tion and ouly three others who will not have to inquire their way to the Capitol from the railway station. &hurch Howe and John C. ‘Watson are the two spared monuments of re- publicanism in the new house of repre tives. They will have, it is true, a score of republican votes behind them, but they re- present in their own personalities the tattered remnants of the former supremac hey will belong this year to a minority, aud there is no occasion for an un- scemly gscramble between them for the hon- orsof the speakership. Both are trained parlinmentarians, and both are doomed to sit calmly at their desks aund witness the painful struggle between an amateur speaker and Cushing’s Manual. It is no flattery to say that they will have bottled up in their useless craniums more parliamentary knowl- edge and avility than all tho other ninety- eight members possess in the aggregate, But unless the leaders of the now dominant party change their minds they will be mere spec- tators in rescrved seats. Itwill be their i ve the antics of others in a have formerly appeared as star performers. Besides Howe and Wat- son, only threo other reprcsentatives-clect bave been in the legislature before. They are Frauk E. White of Cass, W. A, Gardner of Douglas and Charles Severineof Lut- caster, And now the interesting question is, What is the character of the men who make up the alliance majorities in the two houses! It would be impossible to answer the question with anything like detail. Nothing but act~ ual experience of tho coming session will enable avybody to do that. But enough is known of the men who have been borne into power on this extraordinary movement to answer it ina general way. The next legislature will be controlled by a body of men, for the most part honest and siucere, who ' represent the demand of the mass of farmers for radical re- forms in the laws of the state. Among them are some men who have made s startling declarations of political purposes as have been heard anywhere in the recent campaign. They are men without experience of govern- ment and not geuerally well read in the literature of the social movements of which they aronow a part. They have lis- tened to the fervid appeals of orators who have poluted out the wrongs under which farmers are sald tosuffor, have absor! very radical ideas as to the remedies pro- posed by agitators, and go to Lincoln firmly determined to npplf' them as far as they may have the power, They feel a great Beal 1n expected of them, that they have been born of a radical ery for reform, and that 1n a bat- tle between capital and monopoly on one haud, and the farmers on the other, they must deal telling blows to the enemies of the people. And that is thesort of a majority that will control both senate and house. T1,—~WAR ON RAILROAD RATES, If the political revolation means suything it means that the railroads' time has ~come. The portion of the people who have felt most grievously the heavy hand of rail- road extortion have elected a logislature that is branded with their own private mark. There can bo no question of its purpose to cut & deep gash in the rates. It was out of that demand that the movement gained its earliest and most potent impuise. ‘That more than soything else withiu the range of state Kuuu ‘Wwas the specific cause and defi- nite object of the revolt. The only doubtful thing in the problem is this: Can the as- tute ruilroad managers corrupt the legisla- turé, or defeat its purpose by d('lna'. by technical embarrassments, or by invok- ing the aid of the ‘supremc court! 11 these questions bo saivored in the' negh- tive, then radical rednction of raflrond raves is assured. Lot us seo what we may expect in case the alllance statesmen meet with no insuperablo obstacles in the legislative, judi- cial or executive branchos of the government. The republican state 'ztforin demands the redifetion of rates to correspond with those in stdtes in the Mississippi valley, The platform insists upon their vediction vel of the rates in Towa. Thereis a wide difference. 'The Iowa rates are the night- mare of corporations. They ave from one- third to one-half lower than in Nebraska. Besides, they are specific. When talk about Tow os you can it down figuro whut it will cost to send a car of corn from any point to Chicago. When you talk about riates “in states adjacent to the Missis- sippi”? you enter upon a wide feld of econom- ical speculation. The standard rates in Kan- sas are but little lower than in Nebraska, but the farmers of the former statg get the bene- fit of @ competition that helps’ them mater- ially. To model the rates on those of Kan- sas, Missourior Illinois would not satisfy the demand that has arisen in Nebraska, The rilroads would have nothing to fear from a literal construction = of republican platform at the of “friendly” legislators. They woald have something to think of, however, if the Towa rates were introduced, or if the plan of Attorney General Leese and his sup- rters wero adopted. The latter provided or rates 10 per cent higher than Iowa's, which weuld make them about 60 per cent of the present rates. The additional 10 per cent wae suggested to cover the difference in the traffic and population in the two states, as a measure just both to the railroads and the poople, This is the present aspect of the railroad question in Nebrask It is one of the ques- tions which interests every class of our busi- ness men und the vast army of producers. It is @ question whith has been brought to a focus after long agitation, If it is not measurably settied av the noxt session of the legislature it will be because some- body has proved untrue to the trusts com- mitted to him, IV.—~OTHER POINTS OF THE PROGRAMME, Taming the railroads is not the only inter- esting thing on the programme of the coming legislative circus, There are several other subjects nearly as rich in possibilities of dis- cord. Bofore everything etse in interest and importance comes the contest over the gov- ernorship. Then there is the ugly question of usury, the interesting problem of public elevators aud the broad subjectof how to knock out the trusts. There is no longer any doubt that we are really -to seo @ serious attempt to place John H. Powers in the governor's chair, the popular plurality for Boyd to the contrary notwithstanding. There is every evidence that this is the serious in- tention of tue alliance leaders, not merely a post-election bluff. The grounds of the con- test are being formulated in acoordance with the law. The notices will be served on Mr. Boyd before twenty days have expired. It will be alleged that hundreds of voters were not properly registered, that frands wero perpetrated in some localities and that too many votes were cast in others. The ques- tion will then como up before the legislature for final settlement, 1t will have the power to arbitrarily decide it by a majority of votes, and the alliance has an undoubted majority. Nobody believes, however, that its strength can be wielded as a solid mass for any propo- sition palpably dishonest. It is expected that much will depend on the character of the charges and evidence, and that when the re- sult is reached it will be such as will commend itgelf to the judgment of fair-minded men of all parties, Everybody recognizes that, whatever the nature of their schemes of gov- ernment, the alliance represents as honest a body of men as can be found in any class of “itizens, and that even 1if this were not so they would recognize the folly of anything like an attempt o steal the governorship. There are men who honestly believe that Mr. Boyd was not elected. The purpose of the contest is to decide whether he was or not. The legislation relating to usury, public elevators and the regulation of trusts is full of possibilities of good tothe people, All par- ties are committed to it to a certain degree. It will probably arouse a good deal of conten- tion, but it is reasonably certain to be passed in some shape. Doubtless this will be a cold winter for appropriations and an era of re- trenchment and reform in the public ex- penditures, In looking forward to the approaching ses- sion at Lincoln, it is plainly seen that, it is to be a time of extraordinary interest and im- portance in the history of the state. Un- usual elements will be at work both within and without the state house. A part of the people will watch events with a feeling of grave concern, and another part with a foel- ing of lively expectancy. u. E. Suyrue. STORIENS URVIVORS. The Saved of the Serpents Crew Tell How the Wreck Oconrred. Corusya, Nov. 16.—The British gunbeat Lapwing brought the Sérpent’s survivors Corunna'today. The Associated press spondent boarded the Lapwing had an interview with one of the survivors, named Burton. He said when the Serpent struck the weather was “dirty,” but not foggy. All hands were below except the oMcers und six watchmen, Immediately after the shock all rushed to the deck. The large boat was lowered, but it was smashed- to pieces aud the occupants perished. It then became evident that it was useless to lower she other boats. An attempt to throw the cable ashore also failed. Meanwhile the men were being constantly washed overboard. About an hour after the Serpeut struch the captain gave the men leave to save themselves as they thought best. Burfon jumped over- board, having alife belt about his waist, as had all the men on watch. After swimming two or three hours he landed in an exhausted condition. ~ He then met Luzon, another survivor, and together they walked to a coast village two miles from the scene of the wreck whenco some of the villagers conveyed thom to Camurinas. Luzon, who is still very ill, confirmed Bur- ton's story. Luzon was washed overboard half an hour after the shipstruck. He had no life belt, but after being in the water an nour and a half, mauaged to resch shove.

Avausta, Ga., Nov. 16.--Last Sunday night the north and south-bound trains were robbed of express matter by mysterious men, who, after relieving the messenger in one car, escaped, and then getting on the other train, robbod the other messenger in the same way. The same thing happened last night on the south-bound train, a man entering the car between stations and . robbing it, The messenger claims to have exchauged shots with the robber and there are spots of blood on the car.

Did it Enjoin 00 Men to Stand by a B bligation? THE PROPOSEDY P@WERS-BOYD CONTEST. 2l | Some Inside Facts in the Oase Ob- tained From United States Mar- shal Slaughter— Dictator Burrows' Reply. Brad D. Slaugnter was solicited for his opinion regarding the proposed contest of Boyd's clection by Powers, “I will not attempt,’” bogan Mr, Slaughter, ‘‘to accede to such a request in any manner other than by starting at bed rock.” “My first step in so doing is to refer toa line in the constitution reading, * * * * contested elections for all of said officers (of the executive department) shall be deter- mined by both houses of the legislature, by Joint vote, in such a manner as may be pre- scribed by law.’ Again —on page 896—‘Tho legislature 1 joint meeting shall hear and determine cases of contested election for all oficers of the executive department. The meeting of the two houses, to decide upon such elections, shall be hela in the hall of the house of represcututives, and the speaker of the house shall preside.’ Still again—at the bottom of the same page— Whenever any elector of the state chooses to contest the validity of the election of any of the officers of the executive department of the state, or whenever any elector of the proper county or district chooses to contest the election of ‘any member of the legislature from such count or district, such person shall give notico thereof in ting, read such mnotice to ana leave a copy thereof with the person whose election he intends to coatest, within tweuty days after the election; if the person cannot be found in his district, then a copy to be left at his last place of residenco in the district, naming the points on which the election shall be contested, and the name of some person anthorized bylaw to administer oaths, so- lected by him to take the deposition, and the time and place for taking the same; the ad- verse party may also select one such person on his part to attend at the time and place of taking depositions,’ *‘Agrain, “T'he tertimony must be sealed and sent to the secretary of state’ and ‘the ballots are to be transmitiod and ‘delivered to the presiding officers of the senate and house.’ " Laying aside the copy of tho statute, Mr. Slaughter vesumed: “Now then! I have it from a prominent alliance man that notice of contest has already been served on Mr. Boyd, by reason of the fact—so the alliance man’ told me ~of it hay- ing been discovered that in one precinet in Douglas county they (the alliauce people) have found that only seven votes were cast and counted for Powers when, as a matt fact, the alliance has secured the afiidavits fifteen Swedes to the effect that they voted for Powers. “The positions of the law I haye cited are sufficient to show that the party iu the legis- lature having a majority has the matter of a contest enti in their own hands. They can literally do just #s they please and from their acts in joint legislative session there i no appeal whatever. They g the sole judges, could, in my estimation, do as they saw fit with reference to counting a part or one of the returns,” . According to the revised returns, given in Tig Be, theallisuce will have a majority of those on joint ballop “Right here let mé tell you sometbing that is astounding! It comes from Dr. Alexander Baer, late candidate for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket, Ina certain pre- cinct in Madison county, herctofore invar ably democratic by sixty orseventy majority, neither Mr. Boyd nor any other denmiocratic candidate veceived u single vote, the alliance being the favorite ticket by long odds. In this precinet reside twenty or thirty rela- tives of Dr. Baer—all democrats—and twerty or more of ihem beiug voters. The doctor, learning that these democratic relatives in: tended to vote the alliance ticket, visited them on the Sunday preceeding election aay. Meeting a dozen or more - 0f them together —four of whom wezd nncles aud three brothers—and leaming of their intention, begged them at least to vote for Mr. Royd aud bimself. They refused this and then he asked that they at'least vote for him. This they also refused to do, adding that they had taken an oatn upon a bivle containing his mother's name, to vote the straight allisnce ticket without a seratch or a paster. The result—as indicated—shows that they respected their oath, 41 could cite other instances, all pointing to the fact of what a terrible determination has taken possession of these alliance people to win at all cost at every hazzard. ““Who would even risk a guess that a peoplo 50 completely under tue power of the man Burrows, and who are now flushed with the great victory which all of us must admit they have won, will stop at anything—particularly when the count oz governor is so close—to gaiu their ends? “Recall the fact that upou the Monday night before election, in obedience to uu edict of King Burrows, alliance voters, to a man, met ' at their various school house lodge rooms, prepared their tickets, and took an oath-bound pledgo | to vote them’ Then recall how, upon elec- tion day, at all their country preciucts an al- liance committee stood at the polls and with on&(,lg eyes saw to itelmat not an oath was vio- lat ““With all these and a hundred other facts about alliance men, that I kuown to a cer- tainty, you ask me what I think of the com- ing contest for governor! Iam convinced of but one thlg. Beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind, I believe that Boyd will be thrown out and Powers will be seated as gov- ernor of Nebraska. I certainly trust thav this will not be done. I1f Mr. Boyd has but one plurality and that one vote represents an honest plurality of sentiment in this state, he is as much entitled to the position of gov- ernor as though he had 10,000 pluralivy.” What Burrows Says. LaxcoLy, Neb., Nov. 16.—(Special to Tmr Brr.]—The foregoing interview with Mr. Slaughter was submitted to Mr. Burrows and he was informed that Tue Bee was will- ing to publish any reply he might wish to write or dictate. His hand trembled visibly as he read the portion concerning the alliance and the allegad secret oaths, and on reading his own name he stopped to interject : “What a great fellow that man Burrows is, anyway!" On finishing reading the intarview said: “Let mo tell you that if there is any oath exacted from the mempbers of the alliance to support any alliance. candidato T know noth- ingof it.

Subject of an Interesting Sermon by Rev, Luther Kuhns, Rev. Luther M. Kuhns, pastor of the Southwestern Lutneran church, delivered an interesting discourse yesterday morning at his church, taking as his subject “A Disciplo's Prayer.’ The text chosen was Colossians T, 912, The speaker spoke, in substance, as follows : ‘“The text isthe epistle for the day-a prayer by St. Paul on behalf of the Colossian Christians, and is a most earnest utterance. How deeply was the apostle interested in the welfare of the church, and how near heart were his spiritual ehildren, “Whenever we heara man o woman pray we learn of their interest in the cause for which they pray: so here we learn something of Paul's deeper fecling of his inner self-it is the heighth of his devotion and unceasing prayer and the'c nt wish of his heart. The apostle’s teaches us, first the i that they might be filled with the of his will in all wisdom and spiritual unde standing. The great need of the Colossia was kuowledge or, more definlte] knowl- codge sod's - will, Hence Paul prayec that they might bo filled with this knowledge. Only think of it—filled, not empty; filled—-not overtowing but always plent; “How can it be otherwise than that the knowledge of God, filling our hearts, should make @ character other than that pleasing in his sight. Thus know- ledge is “in all wisdom That is the theoretic knowledge of God preceding all others and takes account of the many differ- ent aspeets of the Christian’s training. Ina sense, this may be regarded us a warning agaiust being carried away by overy new issue that a The old landmarks may not be disregarded. *“The apostle adds to ‘‘all wisdom" that of spiritual understanding. This is o more practical knowledge of God's will; in Ephe- sians Paul couples with wisdom' prudence, Here it1s experimental kuowledge coupled with wisdom and goes to make firm the saiut who has this as a posses- sion. Looking retrospectively on the language of Paul it seems that he here teoches us the principle of the dev ment of istisn knowledge. The Cl tians grows; the opposition of growth - nation—growth is life; stagoation is death. The true Christian must grow- W in grace and in the knowledge of our Lordand or, Jesus Christ. It is becoming more Chris like, and herein is the foundation of Ch tian characte knowleod; of Christian g of God's will is to issuo i in life. 1t is the characte unfolded into the full blown flow knowledge we have of God's will we areto practice and this is the perfection or character - the doiug of that well Paul desired that the Colossian - walk worthy of the Lord. By and aftes rist's own life must the Christian pattern and so0 walk of the vocation wherein he is called. be pleasing to God. the footsteps of the Master. “Perfect christinn character must be fruit. ful. C s cursing of the fruitless fig tree is an object lesson for all time. This walking wort must therefore be fruitful; there must be the fruit. of ‘“‘wood works,"” This Christian character must in- crease in the knowledge of God. Itis the secret of the Christian's fruitfulness. “Then comes the strengthening of that Shristian ~ character. “Strengthen,) says Sn @l might according to God glorious power,’ wonderful—the mighty Cor engine, the idea of human power—a mechanism to do work. Divine power, God's idea—the making of character, even the fit- ting of the soul for heaven. It is a strength then unto patienco npd long suffering, abounding in joyfulness. *Third—The source of christign characte Paul says giving thanks untd the Father ‘who hath made us meet to be the partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Only the Heavs Father could give mun a character suited for such an_inher- itance. Recall in this connection David's beautiful psalm. What a picture of the righteous man—a trec by the rivers of water, frmtfol and rich in foliage, its life nourished by the stream; so is Ch rived from th “From the foun only can the produc come, Oh, of Christin character we imagine sweet and ble Ct aracter coming from any other source t from Him who is the mani- festation of God's love, and God is love,” Acceptod Mr. Kountze's Offer. In addition to the regular services, the Church of the Good Shepherd held a business mecting yesterday relative to a site for a new house of worship. The lease of the ground upon which the present structure stands, at Ninetcenth and Lake streets, expires in about a year. In view of this fact, a week ago Mr. Herman Kountze made the church an offer of two lots at the northeast corner of Twenty-first and Binney, the lots to be given to the church, providing, as scems to be understood though not definitely known, that a structure costing mnot less than $10,000 be erccted thercon, as has been the case in other instauces of Mr. Kountze's prescutations of chureh building Tots in the past. The church found that it was financ unable to undertake both the purcha: site and the erection of a building, and there- foro at the meeting yesterday decided to ac- cept Mr, Kountze's offer. t seems that in the past Mr. Kountze has declined to donate any property for church uses south of Pinkney stres Upon the Church of the Good Shepherd showis however, that it would be im. pucticable for it to try and take its congregation so far north as Pinkney, and in view of the fact, that Mrs. Kountze, recently deceased, was an Episcopalian, Mr. Kountzo announced that he wouid deviate from the rule in this instance, und made a teuder of the property described. This site that has been decided upon is diagonal to Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, and is said to bo well worth £,500, the two lots making a prece of ground bUx 120, The church finds that they have 5,000 in in sight as a starter for the new building, and feel sure of sccuring the additional §4,000 that is needed. Barly next spring is the time when it is ex- pected that work on the new house of wor- ship will be commenced, ———— A Chance for the Jap. Mr. E. Temple, the vacker of T. F.

Lt A Fad for New Bills. *‘Can you give me 3200 in new mone) inquired a young man at tho teller’s window in one of the big baunks down town a fow days ago. Mo, wants it for his wife.” SCortainly,” replied the teller, recog- nizing in the applicant the confidential clerk of one of the bank’s heaviest de- positors. The money was handed out in clean, crisp tens and fives that had nover been in cireulution, suys the New York Time:. After the young man had gone, the teller remarked tothe er: “That new money fad is on the increase. Just as soon as a man bogins to feel a little tony he gets the notion that no member of his family ought to handle the soiled and crumpled currency in gencral cireulation, When the madame goes u-shopping she must have her purse filled with brand new bills, Many per- sons explain theiv manin for new money on the theory that thore is conmgion in shandled bills, They seek to keen disease awny from their family cir- cle by rinding, to as full an extent as possible, all money that hus been in ¢ culation: iy keopa supply of new bills of various denominations constant- ly on hand, and the ladiesof the house- lold feel that they are thus well pro- tected against confagion.” Most of the new money is procured di- rectly from the banks, but there arve f quent individual applications at tho substreasury for new bills and new coin, When the sub-tronsury has on abun- dance of small denomination bills on hand such applicatfons are unhesitat- ingly complied with, Abeolutely Pure.
