Ill XHMBER141 VOLUME XXX WICHITA, KATSS: SATURDAY MOBNTSTG, APRIL 29, 1S99 the Filipino Rebels and the Final Collapse of the Insurrection Seems in Sight. COMMISSIONERS COME IN To Confer With Otis, Who Refuses to Recognize the Filipino "Gov ernment" A Dirty Oriental Trick PossibleColonel Funston Slated For Brigadier General. "Washington, D. C, April 23. The end of the FIHpIno insurrection is in sight, in the opinion of army and navy officials. A teegram received from General Otis to ay announced that Aguinaldo had taken -inat is regarded as the first step toward jrrendering, namely, requesting a cessa t in of hostilities. Secretary Alger said, u., the department closed, that, while it c uld not be said that peace was assured, hf regarded the prospects as b fthe bright est and felt confident that the end of the in-urrecion was near. To his mind, there would be a repetition of the negotiations which were had before Santiago. The ncretary left Washington tonight for a. ttn days' trip In the west and it gave him. gr'at satisfaction to leave affairs in such jiromismg shape. Everybody is praising the volunteers, a marked change in the sentiment expressed i few days ago, when it was underfatood 'hat the same men were pleading to be iT'iught home. Colonel Funston came in f r the most commendation, even the reg ular officers taking note with admiration of the fact that his achievements were all strictly within the lines of the plans laid tv'wn for him by his superior officer, Gen c al AVheaton. General Corbin sajd that every volunteer who participated in the f ghting in the Philippines since peace was orared should have a medal of honor. Iy the terms of their enlistments they were entitled to withdraw from the ser vi e, but they had remained volunarily, performing more than was required of trm, which was more than the ordinary duty of a soldier. It is expected that tomorrow there will b further negotiations with the insur gent representaives. While the hope is expressed that our commission will not h d out terms so severe as to lead to a renewal of the fighting, or the withdrawal of the insurgents to another stronghold, further north ,it is realized that Otis must exercise care to make sur that they do ro in 'bad faith take advantage of the opportunity afforded by a suspension of t h -ilities to secure whatever of besefit to t mselves may come from the rapidly approaching rainy reason. Campaigning rn the part of the Americans will be al m i-t impossible at that time. However, it is believed that Aguinaldo is now reoMy n earnest and that his sole effort is to pi.fr responsibility for the t-urresder to i i" F3pino congress. djutsnt General Corbn says the Fili- l 'no peace overtures will not bring about iv change of plan in this coustry, as to rwarding ships, supplies d troops to v,r Philippines. Transports are about to u! from San Francisco and a honsider iil( number of t root is are under orders proceed to Manila. It is said at the aw department that the developments f the day make it improbab'e that the T 'na will be sent to Manila, according to 'to original program. In view of the st-te of affairs is China, however, the American fleet on the Asiatic station will kept at a high standard. Gfneral Otis telegraphed the war de r 'tmfitt this morning that the command t treneral of the insurgents had received frm the insurgent government direction? suspend hostilities pending negotia- i' for the termination of the war. and it insurgent staff officers were then on t way to Manila for that purpose. The of General Otis' dispatch follows: M-inFa. April 2S Adjutant General, i-hington: After taking Calumpit, AT -Arthur's division crossed the Rio inde rh-er in the face of great ob f u-ies. driving the concentrated forces of V enetny hack on the railroad two miles.

O -ualtlee slight, number not yet ascer- i d. This morning chief -of. staff from com- -i uidhtg genera: of insurgent forces en- d our lines to express admiration 'of wonderful feat of the American army arcing passage of the river, which was irht Impossible. Staff officer reports insurgent commanding general has ivd from insurgent government diree- to suspend hostilities pending sego- ns for the termination of the war. s ft" officer wth party is ow en route to Mi -iiia and will soos arrive..

"Yesterday morning force of 1.5G8 Insur g"ts attacked troope at Tagutg: drives b k by Washington regiment. Our loss w i killed, twelve wounded." The dispatch from General Otis was fcn i 1 lately telegraphed to President Mc T n oy,;t Philadena. Immediately up--oceK-ing the dispatch President Mc "'C 'ey sent back the followtsg message of c cratuation and thanks to the soldiers in the Philippines: Philadelphia, Pa.. April To Otis. M .-.ila: Your message annnounciar; the evements of MacArthur's division and t proposal by the insurgents of saepen 5' n of hostilities most gratifying. Con- v to officers and men heartfelt con gratulations and gratitude for their signal g-I.antry and triumph. .Signed) "WTLI.IAM M'KIXUBY." The news from General Otis came just at the beginning of the officW. day here. T Te was a feeling of preform! relief er"-eed at once on all sides, for during I t last three davs the officials have been r 'h depressed by the reports that came m the front. The Associated Press u'letia, dated-at the close of the day. from Manila, station tint the negotia tions for peace had not been successful today, but that another conference would occur tomorrow, did not have any sub. stastial effect in repressing the expres sions of satisfaction. It was remembered by the officials that General Toral, at San tiago, did not surrender at the first in stance, and that several days were occu pied in the negotiations which finally re sulted in the capitulation. In some re spects the situation at Calumpit bears a striking resemblance to that existing at Santiago just prior to the breakdown of the Spanish resistance. The Spaniards were hungry and insufficiently supplied, just as are the Filipinos. They sought first to escape hte humiliation of a sur rendre; to march out with the honors of war; to carry off their arms; but they were obliged to abandon all these points, just as the FiUpinos would be forced to do in a short time, according to the rep resentations of the officials there. Secretary Alger was naturally highly gratified at the news. He approved gen erally General Otis' reply to the Filipino delegation, but he made it clear that there was no disposition on his part to interfere with the Philippines commission n making terms with the Flipinos, to any greatei degree than had been done in the conduct of the campaign. The secretary paid that the Philippines commission had full power to arrange for terms of surrender. It is stated on the highest authority that under its instructions he Philippines commission will deal most leniently with the insurgents when once convneed of their intention to ceape fighting. The commission will not be technical nor captious as to the terms. It will be made plain to the revolting Fil ipinos that no grudge- is to be charged up against them -that they are not to be pun ished in the Spanish fashion by wholesale executions of the leading spirits among them, and finally that they will not lote their property. It Ls believed here that a powerful help to General Otis in bring ing the campaign to a successful issue was the spreading among the rebels of a belief in tho promises of the American govern ment. There te a disposition on the part of some of the officials here who will have much to say with the arrangement of final terms of peace, toapprehe nd an undue in sistence on the part of the American com mander at Manila upon an immediate and unconditional surrender. It Is believed that the Filipino generals simply wish to avoid direct responsibility for the surren der which is Inevitable, in asking for tlmo in order that their congress may assume that responsibility. It is said that the Filipino congress can be speedily got to gether for th!s purpose and thus save the pride of Aguinaldo. The bravery of the American troop is highly commended. It was stated at the war department that Colonel Funston would secure a brigadier general's com mission as a reward for his services in the various engagements culminating in his daring and heroic feats yesterday. It was ateo stated that Colonel Funston and the two men who crossed the river under the fire of the enemy would secure medals of honor. High praise is given all the volun teers. It appears tha-t they were every place whero the fighting was going on. At the foreign embassies and legation? the news that the Filipinos had treated for peace attracted much attention. The substance of the Otis dispatch was com municated to several of the foreign offices abroad. One of the ambassadors said: "Your country is to be congratulated on this result. It means a great deal much more than the mere cessation of fighting. It will avoid a campaign through the six months of the Philippine hot weather, which would have been most trying to the American forces, brave and energetic as they are. It will convey an impressiveness to the Philippines, and one which, it is to be hoped, they will not soon forget. At the same time, it conveys to the world at large another evidence of the pluck and endurance of your soldiers and the Amer ican characteristic of Indomitable perse verance in the face of difficulties." FILIPINOS MEET OTIS Who Refuses to Koco-inir.e Anything ltnt.Tn"t Plain Surrender. Manila, April 2S. t25 a. m 1-The Fili pinos will reek peace. Colonel Manuel Argueleat and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, chief of General Luna's starf entered Gen eral ftlacArthur's line bearing a flag of truce, Tfcey are enroute to Manila by train to confer wkh General Otis regard ing terms of surrender. 6:10 p. m. The Filipino oElcers walked down the railroad track to the Kansas regiment's outpost at 9 o'clock this morn ing. The Kansas captain in command there escorted them to General Wheaton's headquarters, wheer they were provided with horses and sent to the headquarters of General MacArthur. The latter invited tba Filipinos to sit down to lunch with him and conversed with them for some time. He refused, however, to speak au thoritatively on the subject of their er rand, referring all inquiries to General Otis. The Filipinos were then escorted by Major Malloney. of General MaoArthur's staff, to Manila, reaching this place at S o'clock p. m. General Otis' aide, Lien tenant Staden. was awaiting their arrival at the depot in a carriage ,in which they were driven to the palace entrance. The Filipino officers attracted much attention. They were dressed in uniforms of check ed bhie-and-white doth and wore stray hats. They carried no side rm&. They were escorted directly to the office of General Otis. Jacob C. Schnrraan, presi dent of the Philippine commissiaa, and Hon. Charles 3eaby, a member of the commission, soon joined the party there. The news of the arrival of the Filipino officers under a flag of truce spread through the city rapidly and many offic ers gravitated to the corridors of the pal ace while crowds of natives gathered In the square opposite the palace. At 5 o'clock the two FiHpino officers, escorted by Lieutenant Sladen and Major Malloney left the palace. They didn't look at all elated as a result of their talk with Gen eral Otis and the members of the Philip pine commission. 6:25 p. m. The Filipino advances for peace have been fruitless. Colonel Manuel Arguelez and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, who came into General MacArthurs lines under a flag of truce, told General Otis that they were representatives of Gen eral Luna, who had been requested by Aguinaldo to ask General Otis for a ces sation of Tiostilities in order to allow time for the summoning of the Filipino con gress, which body would decide whether the people wanted peace. General Otis re plied that he did not recognize the exist ence of a Filipino government. There will be another conference tomorrow. 7 p. m. Aguinaldo is evidently selecting the army as a cloak for his congress, hoping by subterfuge to overcome General Otis' consistent policy of ignoring the Fil ipino government. The Filipinos' argu ment is that It is Impossible to arrange an armistice without the sanction of the congress. General Ots punctured this as sumption that if Aguinaldo could make war without the congress he could stop it without reference to that body. One of the conferees afterwards remarked that they were shrewder than white men in diplomacy, as the Maays are credited with being. "While the insurgents are undoubt edly tired of war, the leaders are torn with dissensions. There is a suspicion that it was hoped by means of a confer ence to ascertain what they could expect. If they saw that anything is to be gained by continuing the war, an armistice would afford them an opportunity for recuperat ing their demoralized forces. It is an In teresting commentary upon Aguinaldo's scheme that only sixty of the 200 members of the Filipino congress have taken the oath of allegiance which their constitu tion requires. A Filipino proclamation replying to the proclamation of the American commis sioners has appeared. It is signed by Madini for the president and is dated at Caniasdro, April 15. It is In the usual grandiose style and declares that Presi dent McKinley issued the proclamation in order to force the American congress to ratify the cession of the Islands under the treaty of Paris. "This contract of cession was made with the Spaniards af ter Spanish dominion had been ended by tho valor of our troops." the proclama tion asserts. The proclamation com plains that the Filipinos were not repre sented at Paris during the negotiation of tho treaty and that they are without as surances of the fulfillment of American promises. It dilates upon the alleged Anglo-Saxon hatred of blacks, and asserts a desire to enslave them. Deploring a lack of foreign aid in prosecuting the war. the proclamation concludes: "We stand alone, but we will fight to the death. Coming generations will pray over our graves, shedding tears of gratitude for their freedom." FUNSTON AMONG. HIS MEN

Ilov tho Xfitives Tried to I-'isht in the White Finn's W-y. Manila, Apr.l 2S. S:20 a. m At Calumpit, for the first time, a large body of Filipinos attempted to face the Americans in open ground. The Filipinos in the trenches were dispersed after making a ridiculously fee "blo resistance but General Luna's brigade came upon the field from Macabeles on the double-quick, the two regiments preserv-: ing a perfect formation. The Americans from the south bank of the river, which Is higher than the north bank, could see General Luna, mounted on a black horse, galloping frantically along the lines and apparently exhorting his followers to make a stand. He finally succeeded in getting them spread In an extending line of bat tle, which would have done credit to a civilized army. But when the American bullets showered thickly among them, stir ring clouds of dust from the sandy soil, the Filipinos again showed that no amount of drilling could fortify them sufficiently to make them face the American rifles, and their train puffed up the track with its load of dead and wounded in plain sight of the Americans! who were entering the town so closely that the rebels barely slipped out of their victors' hands. The Montana rtgiment made a rush to capture the train, running up the track, yelling shrilly and even dropping their guns in the pursuit but the engine backed off hastily, leaving the bodies of six warriors to their enemies. Twenty Filipinos who came to meet the conquerors, bearng a white flag, declared heartily that they were sick of fighting, adding that fold was very short in their camps. They ate the army rations given to them, with an eagerness that tes tified to the truth of tha latter statement. One wlio had been severely wounded dragged himself after his comrades, show ing remarkable nerve. ifty Americans were overcome by the heat and Colonel Funston, dropped utterly exhausted after the battle. The men of the Kansas regiment cheered him crazily when he went amonc them. Last nicht the flames ofjurning villages and scattered huts ga?e the horizon a glow as of sunset, and the crackling of the fcambcos as they caught fire sounded like musketry in battle. If the American troops were not fighting the heat as well as the rebels, they niizht pursue the natives until they compelled them to scatter into the mountains, but the soldiers are wilted that thy must rest, while he insurgents have tune to re-organie. dig new trenches and fortify San Fernando, where it i expected they will attempt another battle. The matter of the transportation'of supplies aVo ham pers General MacArhur's movements, since with the railroad cat at the bridge over the Bagbag. It is diOicult to supply so large an army in such a rough country. H:-t5 a. m. Yesterday furnished added proof that the 1'nited Stats troops have a fear of bushwhacking that is above their fear of ttle. The Washington regiment, which fc: holding Taguiar, with three com panies of the Twelfth resmlars. engaged a large force of insurgents in a ftght to the jturcie. The Americans lost two killed and ten wounded. The Filipinos have been massing at the mouth of th Pasig river, and ft fc estimated that there-are .10 of them there now. They have mounted two gane one a three-inch Xrupp and have thrown a neatber of shells into toe Amer ican tines.

Kirksville, Mo., April 2S. As a result of the tornado that swept through the east ern portion of this city yesterday evening, demolishing half o fthe residences and other buildings, 200 families are homeless and nearly fifty dead bodies and seventy injured persons have been recovered from th ruins. More than a dozen of the in jured will die.

The tornado struck the city Jast even ing when msot of tho residents vfere at supper, cutting a dean path one mile and 100 feet wide through the residence sec tion and leaving death and destruction in its wake. Buildings were demolished or twisted apart and scattered to the four winds. A conservative estimate places the aggregate amount of damage at S3X). 000, the individual losses ranging from $100 to S,000. The wind played many pranks and there were some miraculous escapes. J. T. CoonfieJd and his family were eating sup per when the tornado struck their home. The house was picked up and carried across a slough and dumped up against a hill. The building was not completely wrecked. and the family escaped without anything worse than a severe shaking up. Houses on both sides of the residence of W. M. Hull were blown Into splinters, but the wind was content with twisting his house off its foundation and leaving it in tact. The house was in the center of the district and it was used as a hospital after .the storm. P. J. Rieger, a prominent at torney, ran right into the path of the storm to save his family, who were help less with fear. Dashing into the house he carried his wife and children into the cellar. As he stumbled Into the place of safety the building was leveled to the ground. He was Just in time to save his loved ones, and is happy, although his loss by the cyclone amounts to $3,000. Among the first of the buEdlngs wrecked was the elegant ten-thousand-dcfilar resi dence of Mrs. Mary E. Hensley. in the southeastern part of the city. Not a ves tige of it is left. The Catholic church, a fine brick structure in the northeastern part, was unroofed and otherwise dam. aged. The large dwelling of Judge An drew Ellison. In the same locality, was stripped of its second story. He and his family and John Dohegy took refuge in the ceKar and were saved. Tho residence of II. Lowell, just outside of town, was twrsted into a heap of ruins and three of his children killed and burned in the de bris. Other large residences were lifted from their foundations and literally torn Into kindlign wood. For a time the people In that portion of the town not touched by the storm were panic-stricken, but as soon as they re- A.nA.nJ UaI. tVlA.. I.Mfftj1 11 t T .'Aflt tutcicu men na uitj in4tv.M-.w-j to the aid of their unfortunate townsmen. Calls for he'ip were sent to surrounding towns and were quickly responded to. The wounded were carried to the homes of hospitable neighbors and given imme diate attention. Twenty-five doctors from Moberly, Macon and other points along the line of the Wabash railroad came to Kirksville last night in response to urgent calls for medical assistance. The visiting doctors co-operated with the local physi cians and the work of caring for the in jured was expedited. Hundreds of persons visited the stricken listrict today and a largo number of sightseers came from neighboring towns. The officers will not allow anyone without authority to go through the ruined dis trict. Kirksville's streets have been hub deep In mud every since the first spring shower and tho rains that followed the tornado has made them Impassable for wagons. This state of affairs hinders the work of gathering the dead and makes the compilation of a complete list of vic tims impossible for the tlmo being. All business has been suspended and the only stores open for business are those denying in drugs. The scenes that met tho gaze of the rescuers were horrifying. An aged man and his wife had evidently beon eating their evening meal when the cyclone struck and carried their home away. They had clasped each other in their arms and were found dead on the ground some dis tance away from where their homo had been. No trace of their house has been seen. Several of the dead were found in spots which may have been the center of the house before the building was blown to splinters. This was the case with Mrs. Panschott. who suffered a most terrible death. Her headless body, with its arms casping her lifeless baby, was discovered on the floor of the house, which was left a a raised platform In an open fleJd. The head was as nicely severed as if it had been done with a knlfe.and was about twenty feet distant. Two children bad ficen lying in a cot in one of the destroyed homes. The houe was carried away, but the floor of tho first story and the foun dation were left, the wind Ciftlng the house from the sills and tumbling It a long distance. The cot on which the little ones lay was lifted up with them on it and carried fully a block and a half and set down on the ground. Neither of the children was hurt. Along the railroad track between the depot and KeCogg's crossing, a distance of half a mile, was a mass of debrte. The wrecks of many homes were scattered aJong thre and the trees wore find with bed-dothlng and other household eoods. Mayor Noonan, assisted by a numbar of citizens, opened an inteilicence bureau at noon. Messengers were sent through the stricken ditrict in search of persons who were known to hare resided In that sec tion of the town. Every citfcten made H his duty to report at the bureau of In formation all cases of death. Injury and of persons missing. Jn this way some little decree of order was brought out of chaos. By 2 o'clock it was said at head quarters that the injured so far num bered seventy-fom-. with about a doscn cases which were sare to result fatally. The fist vass not complete, however. There are two undertaker in KlrkaTGle, and together tney had aH they could do taking care of the dead. A meeting of citizens, at which the mayor presided, -was held this afternoon at the opera noose. Committees were appointed to systema tize the work of clearing away tbe wreck age, providing shelter for tbe booMCeas ones and raising funds for their tem porary care.

Sfi W&vdtabiL ipailij garjljsf aiiEwTaij pBrniiti, gtil 29, 1899 1 As Kingfisher College Has Is Extraordinary, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS From Miss Gilbert of Connec ticut for a Boys' Dormitory, Kingfisher. O. T., April 2S. Special.) Prof. J. T. House, president of Kingfisher college, has just returned from the New England states, Where he has been doing some effectual -work in the interest of the college. Some time ago a very -wealthy lady, Miss Gilbert, residing at Middle xon, Conn., gave to the trustees of this school $3550 to help get them into their nevr building, and -while President House was down east he called on Miss Gilbert at her home and they talked about his Tvork, and the college generally. Among other "things the matter of requisite ac commodations for students -was fully dis cussed and the construction of o dormi tory for boys considered. The result of the talk -waa that Miss Gilbert promised to make Kingfisher college a handsome donation for the above purpose, and last Saturday Prof. House announced that he had Just received a draft from Miss Gil bert for the sum of $55,000 for the purpose of building a dormitory for the use of the boys of the college. The trustees and officers of the school are now discussing plans and specifications for the new dor mitory and will have the same completed and equipped for the beginning of the fall term. EDUCATION AT ALVA Vhat the Xornui iul City Schools are Doiusr. Alva, O. T., April 2S. (Special. Before the fall term of the Normal school com mences we -nill have a dormitory to ac commodate 300 students and expect to have not less than 450 to start with. As the tuition is only $3 for the school year, or $1 per quarter for people outside the territory, we will have from Texas alone not less than fifty students President Ament has secured the best talent in music, languages and other lines of study to be found in the United States and the success of our Normal school is assured. Today closed the most successful term of the public schools since Woods county -was organized. We have had four teach ers and an enrollment of over 250. The uistriot, owing to the good management of E. Rail, director; G. AV. Snyder, treas urer, and S. T. Carrier, clerk, has met all blll3 .had a successful school and will havo 'a surplus of not less than $500 in the treasury at the -annual meeting, July 15. Th'esa scholars wiU'toe' normal students later on, and, take It all in all, Alva is, and always will lie, one of the best edu cational centers in the territory. The prospect for waterworks for Alva is good, the commissioners having granted a right-of-way for a pipe line from Flad dcn's spring, two and a half miles north of Alva. As a household medicine the work and worth of Hood's Sansaparilla are known the world-wide. NO ELECTION AT TECUMSEH Xo Tickets II n vi us lecn lulled, as I'rovideil liy Ijtiiv. Guthrie, O. T., April 2S. (Special.) The Tecumseh Republican says: Accord ing to the Oklahoma statutes, and ac cording to the desire of one or two very muchly interested Democratic politicians, a town elocion was to hav been he'd rext Monday for the election of town officers marshal, clerk, police judge and tounciimen. A couple of weeks a$ro a so ailed Democratic primary was held and u eDmocnttic city ticket nominated, and .i few flay later a petition was circulated for an Independent, or citizens' ticket. Put up to within fifteen days of the date f the Section neither of these tickets from some oversight by the parties in teresteddhad been filed with the city clerk, as proridd by law. Consequently there will be no tlcke out for town officers, and without a ticket there can be no election. If no successors are e'eeted to take the places of the present city officers they -Mil have to serve until their successors a-? elected, which means until the next election. ADULTERY CASES DISMISSED Divorce orthe Defendant PntM a Stop to Such Action. Guthrie. O. T., April 2S. (Special) The Tecutnseh Republican say, in the district court the case against Thomas Hannon, charged with adultery, wtw; dis missed, on motion of defendant, because tie prosecuting witness was now divorced. This case had its origin in the Bohannon diorce suit, which was tried in this court a few weeks ago. in which the husband rued the wife for divorce, chu-Ring her CURES WITHOUT PAIN. One of the Best Features of the New Pile Cure. The Pyramid Pile Cure cures ad for roe of piles without one parricta of pain. This csira.be point is not obtained "by the use rf injurious opiates which simply deaden and paralyse the nerves of the parts ami make mtUters worse in the long run. But It Is done solely by its remarkable healing and soothing: effects. And whHe it thus gives immediate relief. nt the same rime the disease te not merely chocked, but a radical cure Is accom plished. And the point we want to make dear Is that aM this is done without a particle of pain. Thte fact te one grt reason for the popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and constitutes one very great difference be tween it and atatest any other treatment (or nttee. Every kind of eursdeai operation for piles Is excruciatingly painful, besides ea Bangertog the Ufe of the patient, and in most cases as not to be compared with the Pjramtd Pfie Cure, neither in raaktoc suoccsefui cure without pain nor in cheapness and safety. The Pyramid P8e Cure ha been before the public so long, and its merits recog nized by too many people, to allow U to be cated with the many sarvea. suppos itories. pEfct. etc.. and you run no rtak in trying it. as it is often the case with un tried preparations. If you are ever troubled with any form af piles or rectal disease, do not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co.. of Marchafl, Mich., and sold by druggists at-CT cents per uaek-ase. mm TBE EXCELENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing1 the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Strup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured y other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its xemedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating1 or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CaL WUISTILLE. Kt. SEW YORK, N. with adultery, and Hannon was the .man with whom the crime was supposed to have been committed. The court grant ed the wife a divorce on her cross petition, and under the laws of Oklahoma only the husband or wife is leigible to prose cute on charges of adultery. The di vorce being already granted and in force, renders it imporsible for Bohannon, as the complaining' witness, to prosecute either Hannon or the divorced wife both of whom were before tho court on the same charge for adultery. The cases were dismissed. DIVORCE SUIT AT PERRY Sirs. Svsio Riclipy Sues John A. Kichoy. and "Wants Alimony. Perry, O. T., April 2S. (Special.) Mrs. Sus-Ie Richey, who runs the north side confectionery store, has filed suit for di vorce from her husband, John A. Richey. The plaintiff is well and favorably known in Perry, having lived here since the opening. In her petition-Mrs. iRlchey says1 she was married to John A. Hichey In 1873'in Portland. Ind., and .that -Wo chil dren, Kimore and John B., were the re sult of said marriage. She ?ays that Richey is now a broker in Birmingham,- JUa.. and she asks foe a divorce and$l, 000. besides 10a week for the minor chil dren. GRANT COUNTY'S ELECTION Judse UfcAtce .ays His Conrt Can not Interfere. Alva, O. T., April 2S. Special.) In the county seat fight in Grant county the at torneys appeared before Judge rcAtee yesterday, asking for an injunction to for bid the commissioners' calling for art elec tion for a removal. This was not grant ed, the judge holding that the commis sioners, under the law, with a proper and legal petition, were compelled to call the election asked for. The attorneys at once appealed to the supreme court of the territory, and the fight is on to the bitter end. TO TRADE IN TQNKAWA Charter Issued to 31.. I. A P. Ucrchan disc Company. Guthrie. O. T..

April 23. Ernest Vizetelly, who has hitherto shown that he is well in formed on the subject treated, has an article in The Westminster Gazette today in which he says the German government has addressed an expostulatory letter to the French government regarding the Dreyfus case. This note was recently pre sented to M. Delicasse, the French min ister of foreign affairs, by Count von Mun ster, the German ambassador to France, and deals with the proceedings before the court of cassation as published in the Figaro, and which, the note says, sur prised and pained the German govern ment. The note, according to "Vizetelly, intimated that in certain eventualities it would be impossible for the German gov ernment to refrain from officially publish ing the facts, in justice to its own officers, who have repeatedly solicited permission to speak. The note urged in forcible terms the desirability, in the Interests of both countries, of a speedy conclusion of the present agitation. The presentation of this note led M. Dupuy, the French prime minister, to bring a pressure to bear upon the court of cassation, which, however, by a majority of three, decided to continue the proceedings in its own way and he-Jd a supplemental inquiry, which is now virtually ended. M. Vize telly learns that eighteen of the judges of the court of cassation are in favor of and fifteen opposed to reviSon of the Dreyfus case. It is probable, M. Vizetelly adds, that on a full vote of the judges of the united court of cassation, the re visionists will have a majority of eight. Mm. Paul de Roulede and MarceC-Ha-bert were today committed for trial before the court of assizes on the charge of pro voking offenses against the security of the state, and inciting the army to mutiny. Conviction Involves from one to ten years' imprisonment and fine. M. Laborie, who was counsel for M. Zola when the latter was on trial for his famous "I accuse" letter, is dangerously ill and arrangements for placing the In terests of M. Zola and Colonel Picquart in other hands must be made imme 'dlately. s Abolish the Death" Penalty. -AfciJAlbany the law-makers are wrang-j iiug- oyer me aoonuon oi tne fleam pen alty.

Striking the eastern end of town it cut a clean swath 500 to 600 feet wide through the best portion of the place, sweeping everything (before it. Over thirty houses were torn to splinters. On one street a row of houses were entirely demolished. Here scarcely anyone escaped death or Injury. The walls of buildings fell with a crash that sounded above the roar of tho storm, burying people in the ruins. Frame buildings were twisted and lifted from ther foundations; others were utterly demolished, pieces of them being carried for miles. Others shifted In their posi tion, apparently unhurt; one was turned squarely around, while another was turned npoide down. Samuel Desper, at the ap pearance of the black cloud, started with his family for a neighboring cellar, but his house was blown down over them just as he reached the front door. His two daughters were caught with him by the timbers and killed Instantly. His wife was seriously injured, though still alive. Mrs. William Hays wias killed while running up the street in search of shelter. The mutilated trunk, with the head missing, was found in the street later. Mrs. Hays' husband and two children met death with in a few feet of each other. The storm lasted five minutes. When it had ended the sun came out for a few minutes and shone brightly over a scene of ruin. Women and children ran shriek ing through the streets, while men busil themselves attempting to restore order. A thunder storm followed and darkness gath ered quickly. The night proved a most dismal one. Numbers of citizens plied the ruins inces santly, answering the cries of the injured from this place or that, carrv.ng the dead to the depot and the wounded to places of safety. Houses of the survivors were thrown open to the unfortunates and all possible dono to allay the suffering. Chil licothe sent a squad of physicians, who materially aided the Newtown rescuers. When morning broke over the scene, the search was begun with renewed activity, and has ben kept up all day. Considera ble consternation prevailed and nightfall found the searchers still at work, with no knowledge of the actual number of dead and wounded. A complete list. In fact, will probably not be had for several day. Scenes of intense grief were enacted on all 4-des. The storm blew down the telegraph wires in And about town and washed away the bridze of Medkine creek, a renall stream south of town, and partially demolished the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul de pot, stock yards and a doxen stock cars.

TIDAL WAVES IN THE PACIFIC Stranso Talcs of Rescues by tho Ship teen of the Is lew. San Francisco, April 2S. A Chronicle Special from Tacoma says: Tidal waves and severe gales have caused great dam age to the islands of the Caroline group during the past few months, according to Captain Hitchfield, master and owner of the British schooner Queen of the Isles, which arilved at Wanchal .near Hong Kong, from the Caroline group. He says that all breadfri'j and taro, the only lux uries the natives have toward the usual meal of cocoanuts and fish, have been killed. In December last the Queen of the Isles picked up the crew and passengers, twenty-nine in all, of the American mis sionary schooner R. W. Logan, of Bos ton, which was wrecked during a storm on one of the Mortlock islands. Landing the missionaries safely on their own island, the Queen of the Isles proceeded eastward. After a day's sail past the Bordalaise reefs. Captain Hitchfield was seized with a strong impression that he should visit these islets. He accordingly turned hack and found the Island of St. Augustine half washed away. Fourteen people, on the verge of starvation, had taken refuge on the highest point of the island .their gardens on the lower por tions having been swept out of existence by an immense tidal wave. These peop'e were taken aboard and turned over to the Spanish governor at Ponape. On her last trip the Queen of the Isles landed them at the! ronginal homes on one of tne western high islands. Not long after Captain Hitchfield and his schooner were the means of saving the lives of over 300 people at one of the Gil bert islands. A dal wave overtook them and they would haie ben swept away but for the timely assistance by his boats and crew. OASTORIA.

If she would only use GJSt heavy work would be so lightened that the little things needn't be neglected. Gold Dust gives a woman time to rest, time to visit, time to read, and time to sew.

There were ups and downs ci the markets yesterday and some early r ports save barely steady while those c osest to this point reported weak to 5 lower. As a matter of fact the rather j jr and common quality of the offered sags had no little to do with the lower i ndency here. There were no real good j. --ss in and there was only one fair to gjjd load. This was not at all fancy but -was better than the balance of the stuff. rj. le bulk of it was. common and gener j poor, with not better than fair in case. The wago ntrade was heavy ii the bunches in some cases of fair i ze. The grade was not extra and there i a nothing m either the wagon line or t car stuff to attract attention. There v is more activity on the rading all day J-1 d trades were closed with readiness and Ei'isfaction to all concerned. The large s .pply was nearly all absorbed and only f f- car was left unsold on the close. The t. -are weight was only medium light, r lsteriag 223 .and there were pigs and I gnt stuff in plenty. lost of the car st ff was weighed up late in the day but T.as promptly handled as soon as ready r the scales, the local trading was aoout done at noon and the extra large ne disposed of. The lower tone of the irarket was due to the sjmpathetic infiu e ce of other markets, with a weaker and i ivinward tendency and also to the poor f-tde of etock offered. Nine cars were w ghed up besides the strong line of v gon hos. The feeling was more buoy-a'-t arid buyers took hold better than on tne day before.

New York, April 27. A dispatch from Berlin says: 'The morning papers here, owing to the receipt of fres-h telegrams from London givrap further details of the feeling in America, are almost unatumoos in insisting that Captain Coghlan must be adequately punished. They declare that it fe only Quibbling to say that he spoke in a private club, a his subsequent pro ceedings prove that he had no objection to publicity. Tne song about the Kaiser excites far more indignation that the reve lations about Dewey's difficulties with Diedrichs.

Y.i II I III McKinley Fraternizes With Heroes of Manila Bay, MR, MAN BEHIND THE GUN Receives the Personal Thanks of the President, Philadelphia, April 2S. President Mc Kinley and his party left the Hotel Belle vue shortly after 10 o'clock thfe morning for a visit to the cruiser Raleigh, which lies at anchor in the Delaware river off the center of the city. The president and his party boarded one of the navy yard tugs at 1:45 o'clock and as the boat moved away from the pier the crowd on the wharf set up a nearly cheer while the boats in the vicinity whetled a noisy welcome to the chief executice. Tha president stood In the stern of the tug, leaning on the arm of Admiral Casey, com mandant of the League Island navy yard. In about two minutes the tug drew along side the Raleigh, and the president was greeted by Lieutenant Commander Phelps, who introduced him to Captain Coghlan. The marines stood at the guard rail on the Pf-ytleck and the crew were ordered to man the rail as'President McKinley and h.s party stepped aboard. At the same moment the gunners began firing the na tional salute and the blueackets doffed their caps. Accompanied by Captain Cogh lan, the president proceeded to the cabin of the cruiser, where he held an informal reception. He was then escorted to the tower deck, on which the sailors were Ined up for inspection. Captain Coghlan intro duced the men of the ship as follows: "Mr. President: These are the men of the Raleigh. Part of them are from the flagship Olympia. They all served through out the whole campaign." After passing before them with bared head, Mr. McKinley addressed the Manila heroes as follows: "Captain Coghlan and the men of the Raleigh: It gives me very great pleasure to bid you welcome home and to congrat ulate each one of you on the heroic part you played in the great battle on the first of May at Manila which was a most glo rious triumph of American arms and made a new and glorious page in American his tory. I assure you that when I give you welcome, I am only speaking the heart's welcome of eeventy-five million American citizens, who honor all for your splendid services to our country. This feeling not only extends to your great admiral, whom we all love to honor, but to the humblest member of the crew who was in that great fleet at Manila Bay. I give you all a warm and generous welcome, and my thanks." Secretary of the Navy Long then ad dressed the sailors. He said: "You have heard the naval commander-in-chief and listened to the most feeling words in which the president of the Unit ed States has just expressed not only his own generous recognition, but that of the i wnole American people, of your distin guished services during your whole con nection with the United States navy. The country knows upon -whom she may de pend. The record of the United tSates navy is unsurpassed in the history of the world and of that record we do not for get you as a great part, not only the of ficer of the deck, but also, as the name has become familiarly endeared, the "man behind the gun." At the conclusion of Secretary Long's speech the sailors gave three cheers for the president and three for the secretary of the navy. This was followed by the ship's yell: Who are we? Can't you see? We are members of the new navee. Rah Rah Rah! Raleigh! This amused the president very much. The president then shook hands with the various officers of the cruiser and spoke a pleasant word to each. Then, with the ladies of the party, the president made a tour of inspection of the war nhip. He examined the big gun on the starboard side which spoke first in the war wKh Spain, and displayed much interest In all he saw. A general handshaking conclud ed the visit and the presidential party re turned to the tug. A flying visit was made to Cramp's ship building yards, where the battleship Alabama, in course of construction, wat inspected. Some surprise was expressed at the agility displayed by Mr. McKinley in climbing ladders and mounting steps on the Alabama ami at the wharves. As the president was about to descend from the upper deck of the battleship he dis covered that the steps were very steep. Rmarking that "the best way to get down is to back up." he went down backwards. The party returned to the Hotel Bellevue shortly after 1 o'clock, where they par took heartily of luncheon, for the trip bud whetted their appetites. After luncheon the president started for New York, ac companied by all of the ladies and gen tlemen who came with him from Wash ington except Mrs. Gage. The party trav eled in the special train that brought them here, running as the second section of the regular 230 p. ra. New York ex press on the Pennsylvania railroad. The president will probably return to Wash ington on Monday. He says Ms trip to New York is entirely for rest and recrea tion and he win not transact any public business while there. New York. April 36. Cheers and the waving of bats greeted President McKin ley. Mrs. McKinley and their party when j they reached the Manhattan hotel at 5:39 o'clock tonight. The demonstration took place as the president stepped from his carriage. It came from a crowd that had been waiting for nearly an hoar to see the chief executive. A number of pnBcemec guarded the entrance to ta hotel and kept back the crowd. BASEBALL Clubs. PUj ed. Won. Loat. P. Ci.

Therefore the medicine that expels impurities from the blood and supplies the necessary materials for rapidly rebuilding wasted nerve tissues, reaches the root of many serious diseases. It is these virtues that have given Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People their wonderful power to conquer dis ease, and caused the miraculous cures that have startled the scientific world. Thousands of cases have demonstrated that this remedy is an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Frank Tucker, 11 a prominent farmer, of Versailles. Indiana. His daughter, Lnrr, is now fifteen years old; three years aeo she began ailing. She had always been stout and in good health previous to this age. Tne rosy color in her cheeks cave way to a paleness, and she became rapidly thin. Her blood became impure, and as she grew weaker she became the victim of nervous prostration. "Nothing the doctor could rive her would bring about her former good health," said Mrs. Tucker. She'ust kept fallinc of! in flesh till she resembled a skeleton, and there seemed to be scarcely any life in her at all. We tried different remedies, bnt nothing seemed to benefit her. Most of the time she was confined to the bed. She was very nervous and irritable, and was almost on the verge of going into St. Vitus' dance. "Finally the doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Said ha was treating a similar case with them and thy were curing the patient. We bran giving the pills at once, and the next day we could see a change for the better in her. The doctor camo and was surprised to see such an improvement. lie told us to keep giving her the medicine. He said one pill was enough for her, as she was too weak to stanu a larger dww. We gave her one pill after each meal until she was well. We began giving her the medicine kut August, and she took the last dose in October, having used eight boxes. She is now entirely well and stout, and has not been sick a day since, and ne have no fear of the old trouble return ing. We think the cure almost miraculous." FraSK TrczitR, Mrs. Franc Tccxeb.

The profession of politics has degenerated into partisan, job. bery, old-time political leadership into modern bossism. The truth of the foregoing declaration is not only generally admit ted but is -well nigh universally complained of. The appeal to reason in the campaign has given place to manipulation until the people dread the pull of the push more than they do expan sion or Imperialism. The voters rounded up in squads by herd ers, enclosed In sliding pens and moved from primary to conven tion by roustabouts -who know only the will and heed only the voice of their particular boss. "What -would prove an effectual cure for bossism might be hard to determine. It Is a problem for the patriotic The Populist party -was organized, partly, at least, as a protest against the bossism existing in the older parties, but the Pop party proved the party of bosses, par excel lence, surpassing the Democratic party, the original promul gator of the boss doctrine: "To the victor belongs the spoils." The civil service law, of course, wasf enacted! for the general pur pose of staying the hand of the boss In politics, but civil service only reaches the slave of the boss, not the boss himself. The defeat of one boss is but the celebration of the advent of a newer and greater boss. The conqueror invariably becomes the more exacting successor. Representative government by majorities is rapidly giving place, in townships, wards, counties, cities and states, to simple boss rule. The uncrowned ruler of New York is not the hero of San Juan Hill, chosen by the people for gov ernor, but the boss who sailed for his home in Great Britain day before yesterday. Hence, as the ruler of New Tork in cer tain contingencies becomes the ruler, do facto, of the nation, so It may he that it was the dictator of the United States of America who sailed away to his hounds and horses in England day before yesterday. this new substance. Mr. Tripp, the Inventor of the process for making liquid air, claims that it will supercede all forms of explosives, and that it will furnish motive power for all ma chinery. He also claims that with one gallon of liquid air he has been able to manufacture four gallons of the same sub stance He confesses that he is not able to explain the reason for this remarkahle result. The facts which warrant him in making the claim that he has beer, able to manufacture four gallons of lijuid air from the power developed from one gallon are not apparent either to him or to the readers of arecent article upon the subject. Prof. Henry Morton, in the current number of the Scientific American, takes issue with Mr. Tripp in regard to this matter. He calls attention to an article which appeared in the March number of McClure's Magazine entitled ".Liquid Air." He says that the article in question is so eminently calculated to mis lead the general reader and even to become the basis of financial frauds like that of the Keely motor that it would seem a duty to draw attention to the fundamental errors in scientific prin ciples regarding statements of facts which it contains. Prof. Morton then goes on to show that the claim made by Inventor Tripp 13 opposed to the facts of science and cannot be true. He says that the article in question is dangerous and mis leading. It is a good thing at this time when many people seem to be mad over impossible inventions that a cool-headed man has taken it upon himself to expose a humbug which is none the less a humbug because the man back of it seems to be honest and sincere. It is not probable that Inventor Tripp has deliberately set out to befool the public, but he has accomplished that result nevertheless. Prof. Henry Morton has done timely and good service in exposing the fallacy of the claims made by the In ventor of the new process of producing liquid air. Topeka's New Expectoration Ordinance. If Topeka Is not a whited sepulchre full of dead men's 'bones, is not a platter clean without but foul within, the place must be a paradise for morality, sobriety and real religion. Another step is being taken by the people of that would-bo pattern municipality in the direction of a more circumspect pur ity. A young woman is heading the latest reform movement of that Kansas City suburb, which is to make Governor Stanley feel more at home and feel the loss of his Sunday school less. Miss Elizabeth Smith, who is employed as a clerk in the Bank of Topeka, Is heading a movement to have a city ordinance passed making it finable and imprisonment to spit on a side walk. She is circulating a petition wliich is being very gener ally signed, to that end. An enlightened community, such as Topeka, -will not, at this closing hour of the century, be found longer ignoring the germ theory of disease, especially when it is remembered that Moses decreed that his people should pro vide themselves with paddles. The Topeka petition does not Indicate where its inhabitants may spit or how they shall avoid the act. As ditches are open to air and sunshine, they are probably as objectionable as the street or sidewalks. No doubt some kind of porcelain traps with sewer connections will be de vised. However, it is certain that the expectoration nuisance must be abated in the interest of sanitation. If one could only forgot Topeka's suicides, her 3rug-store joints, her social scan dals and church trials, as a shining example she might stand unsurpassed. Hilitary Despstism in Luzon. The 6tories told in Manila by refugees and Spanish prisoners who have escaped from insurgent custody reveal the utter in capacity of the Tagals for self-government The form of gov ernment they seek to maintain is a sort of military despotism, for the benefit of the dictator and his immediate adherents. Taxation is forced to the point of confiscation that tha leaders may live in splendor and luxury. The welfare of the leadeis and not of the people Is considered" alone. This oppression is exercised over the island of Luzon alone, where the Tagals are the dominating race, over the less civilized tribes. Had an at tempt been made to extend it to other islands warfare would have been continual, for the "Vlsayans and Visgos have never submitted to Tagal domination and never will. The United States is performing a service to tne world In bringing to an end thi3 attempt to establish a military despotism in the Phllip- pnes. The men promnent m tne anairs or tne united fataies who have championed the cause of the Tagals against those of the other races of the island must by this time feel ashamed of the results of their folly. Their acts have cost many Ameri can lives and will cost many more before order is restored in the islands, but this fact Is not one that daunts the people of the nation in performing its duty. The responsibility is well fixed, for the encouragement of the Tagals to open warfare. Until the reinforcements reach Luzon hostilities will con tinue, but the talk that with 100,000 men. Otis can not subdue them without buying Aguinaldo is foolish. With an army of less than 50,000 men the United States subdued the Indians, when numerically stronger than the Tagals, spread over an area covering the entire west, and not bounded by the limits of an island. The Indians roamed from Mexico to Canada, from Kansas to Nevada, and yet the blue-coated troopers hunted them down and conquered them. With forces sufficient to hold what Is taken, Otis' work In Luzon will be completed before the end of the year. riore Missouri Dictation. The Kansas City, Missouri, grain elevator combine, which grades and tolls every bushel of wheat raised in Kansas, but fails to dominate the wheat product of Missouri, has got its J hooks on Governor Stanley's state grain inspector. The com bine demanded that an additional pound should be added to every bushel of Kansas wheat, so as to make the measure good, we suppose,, or otherwise to give the Kansas City elevators a bigger rake-off. However that may be, State Grain Inspector McKenzie has announced that after a conference with the Mis souri state board of warehouse commissioners he has con cluded to adopt the Missouri standard, and that therefore here after every buahel of Kansas No. 2 wheat must weigh fifty-nine ponds instead of fifty-eight, as heretofore. Kansas wheat has a workl wide fame. The great mills at Minneapolis are compelled to buy Kansas wheat in order to bring their flour product up to the highest market standard, and Kansas therefore can stand on its own qality without any interference upon the part of Missouri. The Leavenworth Times in a recent issue editorially states that a representative of a London flour firm now in Kansas says emphatically that she flour manufactured from Kansas wheat has a prestige over that from any other state in the Union and any other country on the globe. The demand for Kansas flour is increasing in England every day and "within the next few years Kansas wheat will he at a premium on the markets of England. Better flour was never manufactured and tle flavor and firmness of Kansas wheat is responsible for it." This is oncouraging to the grow ers of wheat and the makers of flour in this state. The Destructive Powers of Electricity. When but a boy a minister of more than ordinary acquire ments and whose oratory was not a little dramatic, in preach ing a "watch night" bernion, described how it was possible for the world to be consumed and the heavens rolled up as a scroll ly Are as foretold in the Bible, in such a vivid manner that years have not effaced the occasion, the memory of the man or of the picture he drew. His demonstration was an attempt jo show the possibility of destroying: all things by the universal .element of electricity, about which little was known at that time save as it evinced its power and light in lightning, and as it was evolved from simple chemical batteries for tele graphic purpose. In a signed article in the current number of the Electrical Beview- Nikola Terfa describes some his experiments in the l.ne of electrical currents of high voltage, and gives details of the coil which he need, "when f an electro-motive force of a few million of volts, excite powerful alanines In the atmos pheric nitrogen, causta? it to combine readily with the axyen and other elements, particularly in the presence of an aqueous vapor. So energetic are these actions and sa strangely do ewh powerful discharges behave that I have often experienced a femr that the atmosphere might be ignited, a terrible pelbtlKy, which Sir William Crookes. with his piercing Intellect, has already considered.

The age is a credulous one. Its phenomenal progress and its many discoveries have made It uch. People are ready to be lieve any assertion, to put their f&Jth in any claim, and char latanism runs rampant. An apparatus for the manufacture of liquid air has lately been inemed. Much has been claimed for Some Big Fortunes of Americans. A man who has personally and intimately known Clarke of Montana, the millionaire lately elected to the United States senate from that state, and who Telated how by native shrewd ness and happy chances Clark had piled up almost Innumera ble millions, declared in conclusion to the writer that the new senator is the richest man by all odds between the Mississippi river and the waters of the Pacific, so rich that no amount of money could bribe him, estimating his real wealth to be not less than two hundred millions of dollars. This seems incredi ble, even wild, but it was a business man of means who made it. That the United States are full of very rich men which the especial opportunities of this wonderful age have made so, is unquestionable. But ?200,000,000 Is a vast if not incomprehensi ble sum for any single individual to hold and control. A cor correspondent of a New York paper in writing of the great personal fortunes of these times, estimates that there in Phila delphia no less than 143 men who are worth 51,000,000 and over apiece. William Weightman is estimated worth $10,000,000 made by producing a corner in the quinine market. Wanamaker is worth considerably less than eight figures. New York has 400 millionaires. John Rockefeller stands at the head, with $160, 000,000 to his credit. Jake Astor can count up only $5,000,000, and J. Pierpont Morgan about ten million less. The latter never touches anything unless the lion's share tumbles into his basket. How Big Are the Philippines. Professor George Davidson says that in several government documents the area of the Philippines is put at something over 11-1,000 square miles; in the latest at 114,326. In the "Guia Offi cial las Islas Filipinas, para 1S9S; Publicada Manila, 1S93," the area of the archipelago is given as 355,000 square kilometres, without including the Jolo (Sulu) group. As the number of square kilometres multiplied by .3SG052 will give the number of square miles, the area of all the islands, less the Joo group, amounts to 137,0557 square miles. Further, the statement is generally made that the archipelago contains from 1,000 to 2,000 islands, and the "Guia Official" pays tho number Is more than 1,200. But in examining the "Derotero del Archipelago Filipino, Madrid, 1S7D." that is, the Coast Pilot of the Philipes, cov ering more than 1,200 pages we find that the Islas, Islitas, Islotes, Islotiltas and Farallones therein described amount to 5S3. Of course this does not Include reefs, rocks or hidden dangers. I submit that these dangers of the areas and of the number of islands and islets be accepted until replaced by government surveys.

The Coal Man, The Grant family had rented a fur nished cottage for the season at a fashion able resort, and were included in the list of guests invited t othe hops at the neigh boring hotels. One morning at breakfast they discussed the last invitation with their father, who was rather opposed to what he called "mixed gatherings." However, Mrs. Grant had provided her daughters with evening dresses, and re membring how she had loved dancing in her youth. She would chaperone them and he very cautious about introductions. So their father reluctantly consented to their going, and their dresses next ab sorbed them. The night was perfect, and the ballroom at the Tremont presented a charming scene when they entered it. The girls soon discovered friends in the many groups, and their cards rapdly filled. Both became Interested in a tall, slight young man. who wore a badge and seemed quite ubiquitous, managing every thing and everybody. "He dances beautifully," said Belle Grant to her partner, who was decidedly awkward. "No wonder. He has lots of practice," said Mr. Felter. "He really starts all these festivities for the sake of having a dance. Can't I present him? He is really charming talks as wel las he dances, and sings exquisitely." Lillian Grant laughed at her own part ner's seriousness, tout just then the good dancer approached them. Felter presented him, and he chatted easily about the suc cess of the evening. He was on the floor committee, and was apparently over whelmed with affairs; but he managed to put his name on each sister's card, and they agreed afterward that this was the hest dance of the night. They described hhn to their mother, wondered if they would meet soon again, and really spent a great deal of time thinking and talking of his many attractions. Several days afterward the coal supply gave out, and Mr. Grant wrote on a pos tal card an order for several tons, and dropped it in the box at the.postoffice. That afternoon the girls were seated on the porch, sewing for a fair to bo held at a neighboring house, when they noticed a large wagon entering the drive. It was filled with coal, and drawn by spirited horses. Their driver glanced up as he passed on the high seat, raised his hat and distinctly "bowed to the sisters. "The man howed to us!" said Belle, dropping her work in amazement. What does he mean?" "Oh, he's a country Jake, I suppose, and thinks that the proper thing," said Lilhan, laughing. "But see how cleverly the wor kis done here." Tho man had driven close to a cellar window, adjusting a narrow slide, and was shovelng the coal into it with a dis play of muscu'ar strength that was quite interesting, while the rattling noise was deafening. He wore blue overalls, and his hat shaded his features; but as he drove away the sisters stared at each other incredulously. "Why, that's Mr. Gordon!" cried Belle. "I really believe it is!" said Lillian. "What on earth s he?" "Why, a coal man, of course!" "Will you tell father?" "Indeed, I wll not! He'll say it serves us right, going to public balls and meet ing al lsorts and conditions of men. We'll simply have to cut him." MSuch a dancer, too! I never had such a waltz!" "What could have possessed Mr. Felter to introduce him?" "Spirit of American equality, no doubt. Whenever we see a coal cart, we'll have to avoid it!" "Dear me, he'll he back with another ton as soo nas possible." "Well, he'll not see me!" Lillian sprang to her feet, seized her work, and disap peared. Belle remained in her low chair and calmly put her stitches. "Pshaw!" she reflected. "We must be mistaken. It is a strange likeness, noth ing more." She was absorhed in a rosebud when the mingling sounds of a child screaming and horses wildly prancing startled her. The scene made her heart throb wildly. Her small brother, a mischievous elf of 6 years, hal fallen in front of the coming coal cart ,and its driver was pulling back the frightened, struggling animals. The terrified child did not move. Belie re covered her senses, ran down the steps, and picked up the little man, setting him on his feet In the lawn grass. "Bravo! Miss Grant!" cried a familiar voice, and she raised her eyes to meet Gordon's. "That was a close call! The youngster isn't hurt?" "Oh, no, thanks to you Mr. Gordon." "Keep him in the house till I get through here. He started the horses with his pranks." "You're not a bit nice, Fred." She Fhook her head at the little culprit, hugged him and led him into the house. The whole family had assembled, and Lillian in her agitation forgot her prudence. "It is Mr. Gordon, Belle. I heard him speaking to you." "Mr. Gordon!" cried Mrs. Grant. "I didn't see Mr. Gordon."

The third number was the presenting of the scenic effects of the 31-st degree in the Egyptian apartment, known as inspector Inquisitor of the ceremonial and official degrees of "Wichita consistory No. 2. In this Miss Mabel MiHlson appeared in a well rendered recitation. In the fourth number appeared the Per sian court scene of the .Gth degree, known as Princes of Jerusalem, in the "Rosy Cross" system o degrees. In this the only and matchless Jack Shields and the favorite baritone of TVichita, Mr. JBion Hull, appeared. In the fifth number was- displayed the treasury vault scene o f the 15th degree, In which Miss EBvie "Walker sang. The sixth was a tableaux of the 16th degree, and in this appeared all the of ficers of the chapter of Rose Croix, with a descriptive prelude by Mr. I. "W. Gill. A rendition by a male quartet and a solo by Miss Dunbar followed and this eloped part first. In part second was a picnic in the woods scene, in which, in true Bohemian fashion, several of the pretty girls of the city and Charlie Jones wended their way through the mHzy tangles of. the sylvan retreat, accompanied by Dr Hoffman, Jack Shields, S. TV. Cooper and Henry "WaWenstein, as the old white-haired farm er who owned the grove, and several young men and members of the order. Viands of every delicacy were .spread on table-cloths, easily arranged on the green, and stumps and wooded effects, trickling riWs and bucolic scenes generally made up a typical picnic party. S. "W. Cooppr was the first single performer on this part of the program and he was simply forced to appear three times in his humor ous songs and southern melodies. After that George Kessler entortalned with his sweet and melodious whistling, and re sponded to encore with the "Mocking Bird." The Consistory male quartet again sang with appreciated effect and were recalled. The Utopian string band then Tendered two very pretty pieces, and were enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Fritz Huttmann sang a solo which was appre ciated and enjoyed. Other specially pro vided performances were well given, and these closed the second part. The third part was a beautiful and sym bolic tableaux representing the inborn American loyalty and patriotic impulses. Mr. Fred Stuckey very effectively gave the Introduction before the curtain in an apostrophe to the flag, the burden of the theme being "Old Glory." Then the cur tain was Taised and a majestic scene with intermingling lights was displayed to the resounding applause of th large audience. The national colors in a large banner were flaunted to the breese and on a shield with th ostars and bars leaned gracefully MIbb Ward In the costume of the God dess of Liberty, who, with bared right arm, pointed majestically with a naked Fword to the flying emblems which in the pst year have swept over the great round globe In the name of liberty and protection. Thte was long and loudly ap nlauded, and slowly the curtain fell, clos ing the program of the evening, and all expressing themselves as greatly edified and pleased with the evening's entertain ment.

The fine, new opera hall at Cheney was formally opened to the public Thursday night by a production of the cantata "Es ther, the Beautiful Queen," which was rendered by the Cheney Choral club. Sev eral music lovers of Wichita went out to attend the entertainment, and they are loud in their praises of the talent shown by the young people of Cheney. The ele gant new hall was crowded with people, many attending from Kingman, Goddard, Garden Plain and Wichita. Those who attended say Cheney never was favored by such a splendid treat as was furnished by the production of this beautiful cantata, and its almost faultless rendition was a surprise to musicians who have seen the cantata played by professional talent. The different characters were gorgeously cos tumed to represent the habitues of the oriental courts, and besides the excellent music, the thrilling story as related in the book of Esther was acted in a manner true to life. Miss Rachel Grace, a former stu dent in the Wichita colleges, took the part of Esther, and her excellent soprano voice was one of the features of the entertain ment. Dr. II. H. Miner, formerly of this city, who took tho part of King Ahasue rus, acted and sang the part in a truly professional style. His voice has been trained for singing and he gave to the part of the king a natural Interpretation. Mrs. William Bobbins, as Zeresh, Hainan's wife, was said to have been truly artiste in both her singing and acting of the d-f-flcult part. The character is highly emo tional, which makes it very hard to im personate and yet retain the musical qual ity of the voice. The audience is said to have been visibly affected by her emotional Interpretation of the parting with Haman as he was led to the gallows to be hanged, and all through this trying fcene Mrs. Rob-bins' voice never lost ifc? melody. The leading parts were well supported through out the entire cast, which was as follows: Esther, tho queen 'Rachel Grace. Ahsuerus, the king Dr. H. H. Miner.

CURTIS KEEPS IT UP Writes to His Paper the Truth Concerning Kansas, The Chicago Becord prints the follow ing from "William E. Curtis, Its Washing ton correspondent, who recently visited Kansas: The largest orchard In the world is in Kansas and belongs to Fred "Wellhouse, who came from Indianapolis and was once editor of the Indiana Farmer. He was the first man who had the courage to en gage in fruit-raising to any extent, and has been well rewarded for Irs faith and enterprise. He Is the apple king of the world, and has made a han&ome fortune, has -retired from active business, leaving his orchard in charge of his sons, and lives 3n a handsome residence at Topeka. ilr. "Wellhouse devotes his energies and ab.'ities these days to the encouragement of fruit culture as president of the state horticultural society. He planted his first or nard in 1876 and now has 1,954 acres in apples alone. His largest single orchard consists of 600 acres at "Wakarusa, Osage c junty, and his smallest is a patch of 117 acres at the village of Glenwood, near Leavenworth. He has apple farms in four oth-r counties, including altogether about 101,000 trees. Mr. "Wellhouse considers the Ben Dav's apple the best staple, and has 620 acres, or m re than one-third of hiB orchards, plant ed to that variety. Four hundred and nine acres is planted to the Missouri pippin, 190 ares to the Jonathan, ISO acre3 to the Gano, 150 to the York imperial and 1i acres to the winesap. He treats his apples as if they were jewels. His trees are tended with the greatest care. He era emnloys experienced and careful men. His fru t ia picked by hand and as fast as It r p-ns. The perfect apples are wrapped In t'sue paper and packed in boxes which are sent to cold storehouses and kept in an even temperature of about 40 degrees I'nH the market is "favorable. Then they arc shipped to Chicago, New York, St. Iouis, Denver, San Francisco and the City of Mexico, and a considerable quantity Kces to European markets. Queen Victo r am Emperor William eat apples from the "Wellhouse orchards. There is always a demand for them both at home and rbmad, and some yeara the crop has brought as much as $95,000, more than half of which was profit. Mr. Wellhouse is by no means the only nnrlo man in Kansas. He has only 100,000 tro-ps, while in the entire state there are 7,5"3P3oS apple trees in bearing: 4.05S.7G2 prarh trees, 1,212,5&4 cherry trees and C2S, 2 3 plum treos. In addition to these there nc 3,041.385 apple trees too young to bear fru t and nearly 2.000,000 peach trees. The number is increasing at the rate of a'bout EO0.O00 a year. There are, altogether not ftwer than 20,000,000 fruit trees in Kansas, cr a'bout fifteen trees par capita of the papulation. Tho exports of apples from the "United FatPS during the winter just closed will r a--h about 2,000,000 barrels, worth from $4 to $5 each In the Liverpool market. The frplght from Kansas City to Liverpool will mr-rage $1.40 a barrel. For the foreign market apples are Tvnppwl in paper and placed in boxes, four larra deep, ninety-six to the box, all se lected fruit, with the best on top, of course. Tin covers are put on with a machine that presses on the ends of the boards a-!- springs both the bottom and tho top. A "harrel will make about four ane one half boxes, and 1.000 boxes make a carload, we ghing about 40,000 pound?. The poorer grades of apples arc other wise disposed of. The "seconds" are sold In the local market in barrels or shipped t- he neighboring cities, but they have to be perfectly sound and of good appear ance. The imperfect ones go to the cider ni'll or the evaporating houses. In a well crjered orchard the product of the evapo rafT, which takes the place of the old fiinnpl dried apple, ought to pay the fX7'?T-; of maintenance; the cider ought t- ray the grocer bill and leave the pro c "Is of the barreled fruit clean profit.

The seven children had all been 'born in that wagon and the whole outfit had slept either in or under it every night. The two hungry-looking horses were fed from a trough attached' to the hind 'board, while the food of the family was cooked on a little oil stove that was stowed away under the front seat when the cara van was In motion. The scanty kitchen utensils were suspended from the hoops that held up the canvas cover; the family wardrobe was packed away in gunny bags, and the food supply, whieh was neither abundant nor attractive, was kept In boxes and bags slung ban-arh the wagon box. They had a recking chair and a camp chets with a revolving lid that served as a table and a china closet at the same time. The man said he didn't like that way of living, but his wife was fond of change, so they kept wandering year after year, work ing at odd jobs as he happened to find them and cultivating the acquaintance of the world. As a prosperity "straw," the managing partner of one of the largest mercantile houses in Chicago gave me a statement the other day of its sales in Kansas and Nebraska for the last nine years as fol lows: Kansas. Nebraska. 1SS0 51.01S.000 5S45.000 1S91 1,004.000 S94.000 1802 1,052000 1,0(5.000 1S93 926.00O S21.000 1394 S01.000 07,000 1S95 733,00-5 554,000 1SX3 041,00-3 SGOOCfl 1S07 51,000 7S0.00O 189S SS3.000 029,00) It will be seen that 1S95 was dead low tide in the commercial conditions of Kan sas and 1S05 in Nebraska; 1892 was high tide in both states. The recovery in Ne braska has been more rapid than in Kan sas, but if the sales of the first three months of the current year are kept up the total will pass the million mark in both of the states. F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, confirms the stories of canceled mortgages that were told to me by Mr. Breidanthal, the bank com missioner, at Topeka the other day. "There has been a wonderful clearing off of financial obligations among the farmers of this state," he said. "I can not give you detail statistics, but judging the whole state by several sample coun ties I am familiar wih, I think It s safe to say that not less than 5200,000.000 of farm and home mortgages have been paid off in Kansas during the last few years. The farmers of this state are now in a most gratifying conditio nof prosperity and contentment. Of course we have our share of ne'er-do-weHs perhaps more than you find lnfcolder communities of the east but many of them are actually pros pering in defiance of ordinary economic laws. It has been difficult for anybody to court disaster during the last two or three years. "Ever since the panic of 1S93 the people have been skimping and saving and see ing everything that would add a little to thei rincomes, but they have caught up now and are buying tho things that they have craved aM these years. Many of them are building n-w houses and barns and getting fine cattle, horses and hogs, which accounts for the mortgage; that are being filed in the court houses these days. Almost every farmer is replacing his old machinery with up-to-date im provements. The manufacturers of agri cultural machinery are swamped with or ders. The jnen are getting new buggies, carriages and harness and their wives are getting new furniture, pianos and cook stoves. They are putting furnaces and running water and other conveniences in their houses and barns. There is where the money Is going after the mortgage is paid off. The whole trend is toward economy in handing crops. During seven years of adversity they have learned a good deal, and now they are taking ad vantage of the first opportunity to better their facilities and provide themselves with whatever makes life worth living. Nor will they ever be caught again. It has been a valuaWe lesson, a valuable experience for the community as well as the individual this ordeal they have passed through and the results will be of lasting benefit. Many good people have fallen, but the survivors are the nobillty of Kansas." The prosecuting attorneys throughout the state are usually the autocrats who decido whether a community vhall be "wet" or "dry," and their action Is gen erally governed by public sentiment. Sometimes it affords a political issue, and candidates are ejected with the under standing or upon a pledge that they -wf.1 carry out a certain policy, and thus the majority rules. As I have said, the great majority of towns are "dry," but many alternate between the two conditions ac cording to circumstances. When the en forcement of the liquor law is lax a trag edya shooting scrape, a murder, a case of wife-beating-, a fatal accident that can be traced to "liquor, the embezzlement of money by some fast young man wi'l so shock the moral sense of the community that the saloons will be shut tip for a year or two; but the effect and the recollec tion of such events soon die away, and the drinking places gradually open, first the back door and then tho front door, until something else occurs to c!osc them. THey say the be?t hotel In Texas is to da found at Belton. a town on the Santa Fe road, and it is kept by "seven sancti fied sisters," as th proprietors are nomi larly called. Several year ago a woman In that place and her husband quarreled over the best way of expounding the Scriptures to a Sunday school class, and were so stubborn that thev separated and were finaly dhrorced. This family con troversy was taken up by the town, which was soon distinetty divided between the adherents of the husband and the ad herents of the wife. The result was a large crop of divorces, and seven hus bandless women, including the original cause of the commotion, joined together and rented the town hotel. One of them did the cookiiMr. another was parlor maid a third made up the beds, and so they divided the work anion them and ran tho establishment upon the co-operative P an. They would not eploy a man about patrons were men, of ocurse. Peop say that women travelers preferred to stop efcewhere. and that would be a woman's way. One b the "seven sanctified sis ters" used to drive a hi carry-all down to the railway station three or four times a day to meet the train but she let the regular transfer camntny handle the baur- The hotel prospered from the beginning and there was no reason why it should not. for everythtor was neat and home like and the cooking: was the best in Tex as, which t not saying much, perhaps, but is a good reason why it was appro elated.

Both men were tough characters and as it was generally conceded that Ray was the tougher of the two, everybody in the regiment took it for granted that Ray would be convicted and shot for the crime. He was taken to Fort Leavenworth and incarcerated in the guard house, and an order was issued calling for a general court martial to con vene to try such cases as might come be fore it. Among the cases, and the most important one, was the caso of Ray, charged with murder. Major Auger consulted Colonel Beck of the Twenty-third Kansas concerning counsel for Ray. The colonel named Lieutenant TV. E. Bettis, of company E, TVichita, as counsel for Ray and incident ally remarked that Bettis would clear him if it was possible. The case was call'-d and Lieutenant Bettis was the only vol unteer army officer before the court. Lieutenant Rhodes of the Sixth cavalrv, was the judge advocate, and like all the other members of the court was a regular army officer. TVhen the case was heard nearly everv one around Leavenworth and the Fort talked about the time and place of Ray's execution. Th ey seemed to overlook the fact tiai a TVichita man was dcen-'ing him and that he possibly would be clear ed. The trial camo on and occupied near ly five days, and all the army officers of the court were completely canti-ated with tho ability and skill with which Lieutenant Bettis handled the case. The argument was set for Monday, April 10, each side being allowed one hour to make his argument. Lieutenant Bettis, in be half of the defense, spoke first and for an hour held the court in suspense with his logic and eloquence. His address was conceded by every member of the court to be one of the ablest and most eloquent ever delivered before a general court martial. Lieutenant Rhodes, the judge advocate, spoke at length in behalf of the government and made an "able plea for conviction. After the argument the court was cleared and the balloting for a ver dict was begum. After being out an hour they arrived at a verdict, but unlike a civil court, they did not make it known, it being a military law that all verdicts of general courts martial be reviewed by higher authority. The proceedings were sent to General Merriam at Denver, and yesterday Lieutenant Bettis received the following telegram from the judge advo cate: "Ray acquitted and released this morning." Lieutenant Bettis was seen by an Eagl& reporter last night and asked concerning the outcome of the case. He modestly showed the telegram and a letter received a few days ago from the judge advocate, highly complimenting him upon his elo quent plea, and stating that he had sent him a copy of the argument, thinking he would like to preserve such an able ad dress. Lieutenant Bettis rend law tinder J. D Houston and though he has never prac tised before the district court, he !s con sidered to be one of tho most eloquent talkers in the state, and his argument and skill displayed while counsel for the Twenty-third Kansas in Cuba and at Fort Leavenworth has demonstrated that he possesses talent for one of the ablest young lawyers in the west, if he will only cultivate it. Wichita Is proud of I ieiiten ant Bettis and his record as an offlcer of the Twenty-third Kansas. Pains in the Hack Cnred. A. B. FARRINGTON, Constantia", N.

Pennypacker departed this life at his home in Wichita, Kan., April 19, 1SS9, surrounded by his sorrowing family. He was born in Indiana in the year 1S2S but spent the greater part of his life in Grant county, Wisconsin, where he was married in 1S55. He was a millwright by profession and built a flouring mill on Block House Branch, six miles southwest of Plattesville, which he run for a num ber of years and was one of the best and most successful millers in the county. His health becoming impaired by too close attention to business, he sold out and moved to Platteville to educate his children, building a nice residence there. He remained there a number of years, when he again disposed of his property and emigrated west, settling in Butler county, Kansas, where his sons engaged in farming. He was a good citizen, respected by all who knew him, a kind husband and in dulgent father, and will be sadly missed in the home. The past few years he was a great suf ferer, but he bore his sufferings with pa tience. He leaves a wife, four sons and two daughters to mourn his :oss. ALifp for 50..

He added that the German press is a unit in opposition to "forcible annexation by criminal aggres sion." If the demands of the German Americans are not respected, Dr. Pretorius declares, the question will be carried into the next national Republican convention and that defeat there win mean the forma tion of a -new political party. .Remarkable.

It is believed here that an understanding has been reached between the governments of th United States and Grmany, not only as to their relations in Samoa, but in re gard to other portions of the world as well. Some of the Berlin newspapers today condemn a speech recently made by the United States consul at Amsterdam, Mr. George C. Corey, in which it was said that from the jear 1SGS Prince Bismarck had been constantly scheming to seize Hol land. The North German Gazette, com menting on this assertion, says that the United States seems to pick out singular specimens of mankind for diplomatic posts. London, April 2S. Mr. Robert P. Porter was the principal guest of the White Fri ars club tonight. Responding to a toast, "The Anglo-Saxon Brotherhood," he dwelt upon the ever-increasing ties bind ing the United States to Great Britain, ties which, he said, "would be still fur ther improved by the fact that the tariffs for America's new dependencies would be patterned after England's open doors." In the course of his remarks Mr. Porter said that during his recent visit to Ger many he had tried to make it understood that Germany could profit as well as Eng land, by manufacturing raw materials. In this connection he observed that, de spite recent attempts, the United States "was in close sympathy with Germany." Pneumonia is one of the most dangerous and fatal diseases. It always results from a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold and perhaps prevent an attack of pneumonia.
