THtiRfiPSORi GENERAL NEWS, Events of a Day as lteeorded by the Wires, aro still in the lead with the best'and most complete stock in the city Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Ladies' and Cent's Furnishing Goods, Topeka, July 6.

Suit will be commenced in the supreme court by Attorney General Ives to test the eight hour law tomorrow. It is a friendly case and the directors of the state penitentiary will te the defendants and they will be called upon to show why the- law is not being enforced in the prison. Judge John Martin of this city has been engaged by the labor organizations to look after their interests and will probably assist the attorney general. Judge Martin drafted the original eight hour bill and although it was materially amended he is in a measure responsible for the law as it now stands on the statute books. The attorney general is confident that the law applies to state institutions and can see no way by which the supreme court can reach a contrary opinion.

If the law is enforced there seems to be no possible way to avoid an extra session of the GROC0RIBS We curry nothing but tho "very best gooda the market affords, and will sell them" at prices.thai will comnvmd attention.

Thompson Co. CKTGH Topeka, July 4. The alliance lecturers who have been is session at the hotel since Wednesday are preparing to go into the fall campaign with the' intention of taking possession of every county office for which election is to be hold this fall.

It is their intention to prepare themselves (or the discussion of every proposition that is to come before the public. If their present scheme succeeds and there is little doubt bnt that it will they will be prepared by the time the campaign opens to put a speaker familiar with their platform and every principle they support into every school house in the state every night in the week. The district lecturers will at once proceed to organize district bureaus composed of the county lecturers on the same plan as the state bureaus. The county lecturers will in turn organize county bureaus. The district aud county bureaus will meet at least once in three months, but the local suballiances meet every week.

The primary object Of these or ganizations, one wheel within another, is to prepare every member of the alliance to discuss every theory ol their platform and push the work oi scattering alliance literature itii every school district in Kansas. The secret work has for a long time been thoroughly organized hut this is the first effort to organize for education! The part of the platform which will be most thoroughly discussed will be the subtreasury scheme. There is a disagreement in the alliance ranks on this question which must be settled before the campaign opens. The radical alliance men favor the subtreasury plank but the conservatives dq not take any stock in it. The lectnrers, however, believed that when the organization they have just formed gets to work; the conservatives can be rapidly converted and that all will be in Vlile Tlis Lcss.
