His way of living has brought Governor Walter Roscoe Bttlbbi into trouble with neighbors who reside in Governor's square. The point at Is? sue Is the extent of the liberty that should be given to a roving band of Shetland ponies and a pack of dogs. In Governor's square It is not the proper thing to build division fences, because those unsightly objects mar the beauty of the place and shut out the flower beds and ornamental shrubbery about the homes. With ponies and dogs wandering about it is not difficult to understand that there is plenty of trouble in Gover? nor's square. Governor Stubb's popularity in Kansas comes up from the grass roots. The farmers are the men who placed him in the Executive chair, and as far as Ig possible he wishes to make hit farmer friends feel at home when they go out to the mansion to* visit him. A few days ago a constituent of Governor Stubbs, who was prominent in the other Populist uprising, six teen years ago, came up to Topeka from Jefferson County for a visit. He arrived after office hours and proceed ed to the mansion. As he turned in? to the Executive residence he was ac ' seted by a half dozen of more of these dogs. "'Bygone there, Tige; get out. Rover!" were the comforting words from the Governor as he came out to meet his friends and drive off the dogs. The dogs went into the back yard while the Chief Executive was explaining that they would not harm a hair on his head. "You see, they came from the farm and they like to bark at people, and you know barking dogs never bite, anyway." The Governor may have to tie up his Shetland ponies or move th3m back to Lawrence. They have been scampering over the lawns and flower gardens of the neighbors and the peo? ple who live In the square threaten to complain to the police authorities. Governor Stubb's two boys are re? sponsible for all this trouble. The Glovcrnor's home at Lawrence stands in the centre of a twenty-acre tract Of native timber and adjacent to oth or territory not yet built upon. The hmie Itself cost $40.000, and Is one >f the finest In tho State. When Ittbbf WJl i b eted ho brought nil family to Topeka to show them, where they Would live during the next two y< in. The ttatbos boys balked and declar? ed they would /not live In Topeka; they Wanted to stay at Lawrence with helT dOgl arid poalea and pigs and . h.ckens. A compromise was offeet .1 by tin- Covernor agreeing to bring *'iong the dogs and ponies. H< ' r< ught also along a cow and the Ohio) ?Ui are to come later.

Converting and Manufacturing Trudes Active. Xew York, April 18.?The cotton goods and cotton yarn markets are stronger and higher than a week ago, and while the general wholesalers of dry goods are not buying freely, the converting and manufacturing trades have been operating quite generally There is an absence of speculation in the purchases. It is a little too early for jobbers to buy domestics for fall. Moderate buying of stock yarns is reducing the surplus in the large markets. The ten? dency of the price advance was to re? strict purchases early in the week, Out at the close of business on Satur? day operations were more general. The tariff discussion is a factor in retarding operations. Announcement is made of a big carpet auction on April 29, and the fall carpet lines will be opened May 3. Buyers have been quite numerous in the market, and they have been proceeding cautiously. Credit conditions in the trade seem sound, and although there are many quiet spots, there appears to be full confidence in values as they stand. The production of print coths at Fall River was sold for the week and prices are higher and firmer. PHONE T. V. PEARCE?For Cab? bage and Collard Plants or call If W. Liberty Street. tf.
