Topeka. .Ian. 23.—Senator Carpenter
got a resolution through requiring all
employes and clerks to report to the
chief clerk each day during ^he session.
If any fails to report he is to be docked
for the day. This will break up the
practice of letting some of the em-
ployes stay at home until pay day.
They must show up now or lose their
money. Ex-Senator John Martin was
a candidate for district judge of Shaw-
nee county, against Judge Hazen. '1 he
returns re-elected Hazen. Martin tiled
a contest before the senate. Senator
Smith, by resolution would declare
that Martin's case was not filed within
the time limit.
Senator Smith introduced a bill
which requires old line insurance com-
panies to deposit with the state treas-
ury the actual cash value of all
policies held by them in the state and
gives the treasurer the right to invest
the money in good securities. The
author of the bill claims that it is to
protect the insured of Kansas, and
declares that it is a copy of the Massa-
chusetts law, which, he says, has
driven the old line companies out of
the state and given the mutual com-
panies full swing.
Senator liurrell, cnairman of the
temperance committee, put in a couple
of bills. One provides for a state
search and seizure law. The other
fixes a penalty of #50(1 fine and six
months in prison for any one violating
a liquor injunction.
Other bills introduced follow:
To prohibit the state printer from
selling any state reports; to give pro-
bate judges fixed salaries instead of
permitting the county commissioners
to fix them: to strengthen the registra-
tion law: to authorize the executive
council to buy or build a governor's
mansion in Topeka not to cost to ex-
ceed 835,000: to require the state treas-
urer to give counties credit for the loss
of state taxes resulting from a com-
promise of taxes on property: to provide
for a state house heating and 'igliting
plant to cost not to exceed $(>5,000; to
appropriate $50,000 for the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo and provide
for the appointment of a commission
to look after the Kansas display; au-
thorizing the board of charities to buy
a tract of land adjoining the Topeka
asylum for 824.000.

Washington. Jan. 24.—The messages
from the president to the new king
and from Secretary May to Ambassador
Choate having been prepared before-
hand were sent forward at oncc and
copies furnished the press. The royal
standard, flying over the embassy
building, was perhaps the first in
Washington to sink slowly half way
down the tall stafl', giving notice to
official Washington of the sad event.
The rapidity with which the news
spread was remarkable and within a
short half hour the members of the
diplomatic body here began to appear
at the British embassy bearing cards
of condolence.

A .JOKE ON I5VEBYBODY.
>Jbe' >hird.'dime i 'changed cars at the
Horneilsville Union railroad station,
and lunched at the little grillroom just'
up the street, the jolly little proprietor
recognised me'as a regular patron and
did his best to entertain me while my
special pot of coffee was coming to a
boil on the natural gas stove.
"Notice that fellow who just went
out?" he asked, chuckling contentedly
himself.
I hadn't noticed particularly, but I
tnew it would be disconcerting to ad-
mit, so I nodded encouraglcsly, says
i writer in the New York Herald.
"Well," he continued, "that's Jim
Smith. 'Long Jim Smith,' they call
aim. Conductor on the Erie, and, say,
tie's laying for me. Greatest practical
Ioker you ever saw. Always getting
rigs on me and I never could get back
on him until last week, and then I
was about as much surprised as he
was.
"I was coming down the street and
saw a crowd gathered around some
salvation army singei-s. Long Jim was
away on tho edge of the crowd, stand-
ing on his tiptoes, so he could look
over the heads of the rest. He had
his back to me, and sticking out from
under his arm was a big bag of lem-
ons. I saw my chance, and I sneaked
up quietly behind him, hauled off and
gave that bag of lemons an awful
swipe with my cane."
Here the little man went off into an
uncontrollable fit of laughter over the
remembrance.
He laughed till his sides shook and
tears ran down his face. I waited till
he had quieted down.
"Well?" I queried. "Scattered the
lemons all about, I suppose?"
"Scattered! Ho, ho, ho! He! HI.
hi, hi! He! Hum! Well, I should say
so. But they wasn't lemons; they
was eggs."
