HIS REMARKABLE APPEAL Shown "Up by Still Another Gentile Itosue Who Knows Some Xiavr-- Eeforc the Committee. Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 9. In an lnter-.-w with Judge C. Q. Goodwin, of the Filt Lake Tribune, on the subject of the c peal of Brigham H. Roberts, he said: "The address of Roberts, in itspathetia appeal, is a strange mixture of Ignor ence, insolence and untruth. He com Tlains of the composition of the commit-t-o selected to hear his case, because no friend of his was included. He is noH sare that he has any friends, and his mplaint is an Indirect accusation that c ngressmen, when they sit as judges, cannot be impartial. "Frvm the foot that he was stopped on Wo threshold of congress and asked a question which ho refused to answer, he t?-ps all rights of minorities trampled un derfoot. He think the representation o nhich a state is entitled may be denied it. He ifrgets that congress has control tr" all Its committees and can call them rp at any time. lie forgets, too, that 0 trial Is m Indirect trial of Utah itself c a. matter involving the good Jaith of people. "HH citation of a rule governing a '.rial ainder criminal laws does not apply. This is a hearing merely to determine whether ho Is or is not entitled to a seat in a C dy which makes its own rules. "His plea that political disabilities, un f' r a federal law, have been wiped out a tate, is altogether untenable. The enabling act, which authorized statehood, f.wited no such power. Ills denial of v lawful power in the house to prevent talcing the oath, assumes that the i e cannot take cognizance of any fact nd the prima, facie showing of his ors. Can Mr. Roberts Imagine no c p where congress would have to pro- i herself?

Rawlins does not want any commission sent here; his resolutions were but a diversion put out in the hope of helping Roberts." ROBERTS AND THE COMMITTEE He Talks Away From the Point With His Accustomed Fluency. Washington, Dec. 9. The consideration of the case of Mr. Roberts of Utah was resumed at 10 o'clock this morning by the house investigating committee, Mr. Roberts being present to plead to certain specific interrogatories which had been framed. The proceedings continued to be behind closed doors. Mr. Roberts was first asked if he conceded the existence of the court record, wherein he pleaded guilty in 1SS9 under the Edmunds-Ticker law. This he conceded. He was next asked whether, about 1SS7, or since 1S0, he had married plural wives and had lived with them since that time as wives. To the whole of this charge Roberts pleaded not guilty, and then demurred to the jurisdiction of the committee, for the following reasons: First On the. ground of breaking consti tutional rights, in that it attempted to try him for a crime without presentment or indictment by grand jury, and without trial before a jury and due process of law. Second That it was an attempt to de prive him of vested property that he held in the emoluments of an office for the full term. Third That the only evidence that could be rightfully considered In the committee was a court record establish ing the guilt, confessed or proven, of the representative-elect, and that the committee 'has no right to consider any other evidence. Fourth That the crime alleged, namely, that of unlawful cohabitation, even if proven, would not constitute a sufficient crime to bar a member or deprive him of his seat, because innocence of poly gamy or unlawful cohabitation is no where enumerated in the constitution as a qualification for the office of member of congress, nor Is it named in any Uni ted States lav applicable to Utah or any other state. At the conclusion of Mr. Roberts' state ment the committee held an executive session and then adjourned until 2 p. m. The chairman announced that subsequent meetings would be open, and publicity also was given to the official stenograph er's reports of the morning session. The first of the public hearings accord ingly began when, at 2 o'clock, the com mittee reconvened. Chairman Taylor an nounced that persons who had partici pated In framing the charges were pres ent, and he asked that they be heard. Mr. A. T. Schroeder, one of the Gentile delegation from Utah, then stepped for ward, and was about to proceed, when Mr. Roberts aros- hastily and raised his hand in protest, alleging that the witness was "unworthy of confidence," and "a common swindler," and proposing to es tablish by the records of the sunrcme court of Utah that he was utterly un worthy of belief. Mr. Taylor answered that Mr. Schroe der was present merely to give the com mittee such information as he could, and the committee would treat the matter as it saw fit. Mr. Schroeder said it could be estab lished that Mr. Roberts had maintained and is now malntainins: the status of a polygamist; that in 1SS9 he pleaded guilty of unlawful cohabitation and has since that time continued in that relation. Specifically, Mr. Schroeder said it could be established that there had been re cently born children to his polygamous wives, among them being twins born to Celia Dibble Roberts, the reputed second wife ofx the congressman-elect. These children were represented to be born, ho said, August 11, 1H7, and until this morn ing he hnd understood they were ac knowledged by Roberts as his. It could also be shown that he has been Uiolding out Dr. Maggie Shipp Roberts as a wife, and is now maintaining the status of a husband toward her; that during all lof these times he had living a lawful wife, Louisa Smith Roberts, who also has borne him children. 'Mr. Schroeder said the witnesses were In Utah, readily ac cessible if the committee desired to sum mon them. He suegeted that Miss Adah Roberts, the daughter of Mr. Roberts. was in the city and mighUbe available as a witness. Rev Dr. Iliff of Utah wa? asked if he desired to add anything, but stated that Mr. Schroder had covered the geneial question sufficiently, and that the detailed evidence would be ready If the committee desired. Representative McPherson of Iowa, a member of the committee, said he thought the committee was gradually drifting to the point where it would have to go 2.500 miles to Utah to witnesses or else bring witnesses 2.500 miles to Wash ington. The public hearing went over until Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock, and the committee held a private session. Mr. Taylor (Ohio) said after the execu tive session that the committee was con sidering whether It should go to Utah or have the witnesses come here, and that no decision had been reached. It is un derstood that the opposition to Roberts has suggested that the wives with whom he is alleged to have maintained polyga mous relations be summoned as witness es. The first wife, it is said, would be exempt from testifying against her hus band, as she has a legal status as wife, but thi exemption would not extend bc yoBA the first wife. A sub-committee, torshting of Messrs. Merris, Littlene'd and Miers, has been appointed to get uo forms of subpoena, etc.. In connection with the summoning of witnesses. GERMANY IN THE CAROLINES 1'Ieascd With Her L'urrhasc Hxpcetx to Find Iold There. Berlin, Dec 9 The semi-otitcial Xorth German Gazette says that a dispatch dated December 7. from Governor Ben ingsen, who after the formal transfer of the Caroline, Marianne and Peiew islands to Germany, had reached Macas sar on his way back to Herbertsfaoe, on the Gazelle Peninsula, reports that the prospects at Panae are favorable for a peaceful development. Vice Governor Haht will take up his residence there. Perfect tranquility reign. at Tap and Saicrnan respectively, the principal is lands of the West Caxolinas and Mari annes.

The department of agriculture will begin Its distribution of seeds a little earner this year than last, shipping them south the bednnlag of January and perhaps sending a tfw shortly before, the first. This year the seeds for distribution to all parts of the country will consist of 1X0:-XCC0 packs of vegetable seeds and USSJK& of flower .seeds, besides field and lawn grass seeds. Damps are the Death of Thirty or More WASHINGTON COAL MINERS First the Explosion and Then the Stifling Black Damp, Carbonado, Wasfi., Dec. 9. Shortly be fore 11:45 o'clock this forenoon this ex traordinarily quiet coal mining village was stunned with the first report of a terrific subterranean explosion in the mine of the Carbon Hill Coal company, the tunnels of which run for miles under the town. There was an Ominous rumb ling, smothered sound for a few mniutes then it ceased abruptly. The people who had been accustomed to a livelihood by mining knew at onco what this meant, and stood around with blanched faces. Apprehensions of some fearful disaster were confirmed in a little while with the Information that the morning shift 4-in tunnel No. 7 had been caught in an explosion of firedamp. Between seventy and eighty men were at work in the mine at the time and the meagre report conveyed the information that all must have been killed, as there was no chance of escape. A rush of the inhabitants was made In tho direction of the mouth of the tun nel. It was all that D. T. Davies, the superintendent of the mine, could do to keep the friends of the doomed miners and their wives from plunging madly Into the tunnel's mouth. The coal mines here are those of the Carbon Hin Coal company, but they really belong to the Southern Pacific Railway company. The coal is a soft, bituminous variety, productive of a large proportion of gas. The number of men employed in the first day shift was seventy-two. Their hours are from 7 a, m. to 3 p. m. The explosion occurred between 10 and 11 a. m. Jonah Davis, the foreman, escaped unhurt, and besides him about twenty Finns. Most of the men are Welsh and several of the Welsh miners also escap ed, but they immediately turned and went back Into the mine in the hope of being able to rescue those still suppised to be alive. So far as known the fol lowing were killed, either by the explo sion of the firedamp, or suffocated by the black damp which usually follows: Rees Jones, fire boss, aged 30, unmar ried. Dan Davies, SS. Evan Lewis, 20. Richard Durr, a young man, leaves a widow and one child. John Jones, Gi, leaves a widow and mar ried daughter. Thomas Edwards, 4J, leaves wl(jpw. Evan Richards, 30, leaves widow and six children. Howell Meredith, 59, leaves widow and nine children, of whom two are' married sons and two are daughters. Howell Meredith was working consid erably above the water level when the explosion occurred and he lowered him self down a timber chute to rescue one of his sons, Daniel Meredith, working be low. The son came out unharmed, but his father Is still down in the mine and one of the rescue-force says he saw his dead bodr. The tunnel in which the explosion took place is about one and one-quarter miles In length on a water level under the southwest part of the town. There are several air chutes running up to the sur face of Wingate Hill, west of here. The force of the explosion was such that it knocked down John Ryan, so called, a Finn, who wras working at the eighth crossing. 320 feet above the water level. The other Finns escaped up through an old timber chute running up to the slope of the hill. These were all uniniured. Dave Lewis was working with Howell Meredith at the time but he managed to escape. Tho Finns were quick to take advantage of the timber chute. Alto gether some thirty men escaped by this means, many of them being hoisted up bv ropes. Rees Meredith, a son of Howell Meredith, descended the incline from near the company's store and office, about two hours after the explosion, with several other men. They coukl only go a distance of a half-mile when their pro gress was checked by the black damp, which Is air from which all oxygen has been burned, and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas. Just at tliis moment, S:45 p. m., a num ber of men have been pulled up through the timber chute near the summit of Wingate Hill from a depth of several hundred feec They were picked up from six of the levels near the water level. Three more have been rescued up through the incline dtramway. All of them are badiy blackened and burned and they were immediately taken to the company's hospital and wrapped in cloths soaked in linseed oil by the doctors. The scenes at the hospital are oitiful. Men whose dorbinfr is almost burned from their bodies are laid out as fast a they arrive, their eyebrows and hair singed and their faces black and bleed ing Rescue parties are working both in the Incline and at the old timber chute on the hilU It was customary to work U men, di vided into three sifts, but the first, the morning shift, was the larce?L Several years aso aa explosion of ore damp occurred in this same mine, and two men lost their fives. Nobody, so far bhunes the company, as the exotooton is regarded as an accident common to coal mining. Thnber gangs are now at work replacing the deranced timbers and in cideatally rescuing the hnorisoned min ers or taking out an occasional body. The fans are working well and most of the black damp is rapidly belnz; sucked out of the mine. They were not stopped at all by the explosion. 10:15 Pv my Folowiag is aa additional list of the dead, so fr as recognised: Joe Thomas. ST. shtsie. Evan" Lewis, sinde. Watt Jones, Jo, leaves a mother. WHUam Richards. 41 familr. Mullen, 9 leave a mother. Gcsts.v Knutt. II. Khutt. Johnson. 48 leaves family. Ben Zeddler and B. Zeedler, father aa) COfC D. S. Thomas, 55. leaves famtty. William ML Davis. 25, learss family. Howell Meredith, leaves family. The first five bodies to be brought up the long incline were those of Watt Jones, Joe Thomas. Evan Lewis, Richard Dare and Daniel Davis. Watt Jones was the chief starter. Daniel Davis was a son of the foreman of the shift. None of the bodies were at first recognizable. The work of rescuing the living was completed at 9 o'clock. Those who were brought to the surface were muffled In sacking to protect their burns until they could be carried to the hospital. Many cases of heroism on the part of the workers were brought to light. Men would continue until overcome by the gasses. They would be carried to the air to revive and go down again. In one case a miner named Meredith escaped to the pit mouth after the explosion. He had been working with his son and the boy did not come out with him. The father returned to look for the boy and he is now among the mfcsing. His son was rescued alivo. None of the bodies recov ered were crushed. There are undoubt edly a number under the fallen rock and earth in dlerent parts of the mine, but they will not be recovered for some time. Timbering and excavating are being car ried on as rapidly as possible. All of the men killed, or nearly ail, were smothered by the gases and damp, al though some may have died mor easily from the shock of the concussion or from being blown against the walls of the tunnel. The cause of the explosion is a mys tery to everyone. Not even the miners rescued can give the slightest possible ex planation. Only safety lamps, the Eng lisn Clanney and the Davy patterns are worn when at work. Should, however, one of the men haplely ha-ve opened his lamp in an accumulation of coal gas the gas would suddenly ignite and explode. The only open light known was that from the -small locomotive used to hall the cars in and out of the canon on the main lev el. It is merely theorlzlnz to say that this was the cause. Dan Meredith, Dave Lewis, Samuel Langwen and Daniel Hockyard wera haul ed) out of tho mine, more or les3 burned or partly suffocated. Meredith, as soon as ho heard that his father, Howell Me redith, had gone down after him, re turned to tho lower-most cross-cuts, ac companied by Dave Lewis, in search of his father, but had to abandon the search temporarily because of his condition. The' last estimate Superintendent Da vies made of the number of dead Is be tween 30 and 35. This Is thought to be conservative. Coroner Hoskel sas the mine officials place the number of dead at 33. Txpm the best sources the latest information obtainable adds Michael Kechenke, aged 25, single, and Joe Lee, aged 24. single, to the death list. Following is the list positively identi fied at the morgue: f,s David X. Thomas, 55 years old, leaves widow and several children. Dan Davis, son of Foreman Davis, IS, single. Watt Jones, 30, leaves motner. Evan Lewis, 24, single. Michael Kachenke, 25, single. Joseph Lee, 2C, single. Richard Dare, 27, leaves widow. SALE OF KANSAS CITY TIMES To a Symlieaie r lW2ilnent Demo crats of Missouri. Kansas City, Dec, 9. The Kansas City Times has been sold to a syndicate of prominent Democrats and will tomorrow Anorning publish an announcement of the sale. The purchasers are Captain A. A. Leseur, who will soon complete his third term as secretary of state of Missouri; Judge G. L. Chrisman, a wealthy farm er, who for manj ears has been a judge of the Jackson county court, and John S. Sullivan, a Jefferson City capitalist. Wiley O. Cox, the Kansas City banker, was principal owner of the Times. The consideration Is not stated. The Kan sas City Times company was incorporat ed In Jefferson City tonight by the new owners, with a paid up capital of ?300, 000 Captain Leseur will come to Kan sas City at once and assume the actual management of the property. In the an nouncement tomorrow it will be stated "that the policy of the Times will be Democratic, that it will loyally support the principles enunciated by the partyin its councils and the nominees of its con ventions, reserving the right to oppose men whom it knows to be corrupt." The announcement will state further that the new owners of the Times will abjure candidacy for offices for themselves. This is equivalent to an announcement that Secretary of State Lseur will not be a candidate for re-election, and that Judge Chrisman, who has been considered a candidate for delegate to the Democratic national committee, is out of the race.

Manila, Dec. 9. (6:15 p. m.) General Gregorio Del Pilar, commanding Aguin oldo's body guard, was killed by Major Peyton March's battalion of the Thirty third infantry, in a fight eighteen miles northwest of Cervantes, December 3. Ac cording to reports which General Young obtained from escaped Spanish prisoners at Vigan several days ago, Major March left the coast, where he was pursuing Aguinaldo, and encountered General Del Pilar on a fortified trail. They fought for four hours, during which time seventy Filipinos were killed and wounded. The American loss was one man killed and six wounded. The Spaniards report that Major March is still pursuing the Insur gents. Del Piktr was one of the leaders of the present and of another Spanish revolution. He was a mere youth and was reported to have graduated at a Eu ropean university. Prof. Schurman met him as a member of the first peace com mission and rated hlra as remarkably clever. The Americans have occupied Bangued, province of Abra. General Grant's ex pedition has visited Orani and several western towns, meeting small bands. He killed several of the rebels and captured a considerable quantity of munitions of war. Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York has arrived here on a brief visit to study the Philippines. ON THE DEPARTMENT STORE John Wannmaker Testifies That It Is to Consumer's Advantage. Washington, Dec. 9. John Wanamaker today testified before the industrial com mission on the subject of department stores. He claimed these stores were beneficial to society, having a substan tial economic and moral basis for their existence. "It Is," he continued, "a natural product evolved from conditions that exist as a result of fixed trade laws. Cheaper capital, better transportation, more rapid communication, make the modern retail store possible, natural and useful, therefore, inevitable. Economy in the expenditure of money, time and effort measure department store success. Just In proportion as these ends are reached It is popular, powerful and pros perous." 1 He contended that the offset of the creation of these stores had bean to re duce retail pries. In support of this state ment he asserted that upon American dry goods generally the retailer's per centage of profits has been reduced one half during the last twenty years. This was also true upon woolen, silg and cot ton fabrics. The total percentage of re duction in prices to Che consumer could not be stated, owing to the varying stan dards of qualities and the taste and im provements in manufacture, but Mr. Wanamaker believed that the consumer saved the entire reduction in the retail er's profit. In some articles definite com parisons of prices were made. It could also be stated, he said, that the profits nt the srreat retail stores varied from 3 to 6 per cent on the dollar of business done. Mr. Wanamaker argued that the only advantage of the large store over the small one was to be found in the superi ority of its service. It was also true gen erally that the employe in a Isrge store Kvas "better off than the proprietor of a small store. Some of them were :sld $5,000 a year, and many $1000. Speaking of the effect of combination stores on small shopkeepers, he said it could not be denied that one of the ef fects of the big stores bad been to re tire from business small retailers, but he contended that, while this wa? true, the interests of these few people were not to be compared with the Interests of the mass of the people. He classified the present large city store as merely an enlargement of the general cross-roads country store, and tho greatest advantage found in tnem was that they eliminated adventurers sad speculators from the business. "oD not the large retailers often make a point of buying up bankrupt stockT' he was asked. "If they do thy are chlldrea-mercu-aats or Idfots," the witness rlled. He went on to say that be had been of this class nntil within ten or twelve yearfr ago, bat he had changed bis methods In recent years. He had discovered that the people did not want debris such a bankrupt stock, etc. The great demand was for new things. Mr. Wanamaker said tact when he bad first gone Into business be had thought It well to do his own manufacturing, but he bad aban doned the Idea, finding .It preferable to be able to go into the open market. Referring to the advance made by the American manufacturers in making wool ens, Mr. Wanamaker said: "We don't need the French longer in this work. Fracee can go to war with nTlad if she so desires we would not asiss her In the large stores, he said. &h pur chaser of Large quantities had no ad vantage over the buyer of a snail Quan tity. The mail order business had not been found profitable.

"Why, I was an original Gajbel man. I was a Goebel man long before he received the nomination, and I am a Goebcl man now and a Goebel partisan. It would give me creator pleasure than I can express, to be able to declare for the Democrats In this thin?, but I can't do It.

Mr. Goebel was apparently in the best of humor. He laughed and shook his head when asked If he had anything tr saf. Mr. Taylor was modost and reticent as usual. "I expected It. of course." he said, "I knew that if the commissioners went by the law and 'the evidence thoy could do ncthing el so than decide the way they have don."

NEVER MONEY NORJEWELS But Only New and Richest Gowns Taken. ell, ol Philadelphia's exclusive social set, is the heroine of a strange misadven ture, about which all the town is talking. A few 'days ago the police were notmea of the loss of several thousand dollars worth of creations of famous Parisian xnodlses belonging to her, which disap peared -from the residence of MIss How ell's mother. This is not the first nor the second time that Miss Howell's wardrobe has been ransacked. No valuables, jewelry or money was taken, nothing but dresses which would bo recognized by the owner if worn by bers of the California delegation in con any other person. This has led to the gress called at the state department to theory that the robbery was committed day to discuss with the officials the for revenge. In each case but one class French reciprocity treaty which is now of articles have been taken costly gowns 1 pending before the senate. The Callfor and wraps. The loss is tiifling by the side nians, basing their action upon newspa- of tha sense of insecurity it has inspired in the minds of liss Howell and her mother. Miss Howell's father died several years ago, leaving a confortable fortune. Miss Howell is beautiful and has a legion of admirers. As far as is known she is heart whole. She dresses divinely. Mrs. Howell and her daughter visit Europe each year. It is their custom to replen ish their wardrobe in Paris, and these visits have been chronicled in the s-ociety columns. A tfew weeks ago Miss Howell returned from one of these annual vis Its, bringing several dresses made by leading Paris modistes. The scene of the crime Is a substan tial, old-fashioned mansion of aristo cratic plainness of exterior. Within side boards filled with solid silver, a library Tlchly furnished, articles of bric-a-brac, silver and china afford a tempting field for the burglar. The first robbery ocured four years ago. Since that time the rear of the house has been barricaded. For several years past Mrs. Howell and her daughter have occupied front sleeping rooms on the third floor, locking themslves In nightly. Miss Howell was out late on the even ing of the most recent robbery. When one of the servants left the house early next morning for mass she found the front door slightiy ajar, but seemed to have paid tout slight attention to fhis. Whn Miss Howell aroe she sought out one of her dresses. To her consterna tion she found most of her newest gowns gone-an ermine cape, a large military cape, more than half a dozen dresses all had vanished. The wardrobe was open. The thief had secured only the newest and most valuable of its contents, j Diamond rings-and other valuable Jewels were ignored. It was decided to notify the police, but as the investigation proceeded the mys ttry grew greater. Why had nothing been stolen but the dresses of the daughter of the house? j One remarkable incident was the re- moval of two revenue stamps from the desk. They were found on the stairs, and ry their side were two checks signed in blank by Mra. HwH, A package of money was ip view. J The wardrobe in which the dresses were kept Is new. To this her wares had been transfered a few weeks ago, and .this, fact must tiitve been known to the" thleOlany tMnk the robbery was the work of a dis appointed suiter or an envious female ac- I qualntance. I The robbery occured between 2 and 7 lo ...or,... wri uur-, Klir would taJte the chance of walking the steels at night wi&i a bundle of dothes. Inquiry fails to show that Uny wagon or other conveyance was seen in the vicinity. Miss Howell is unable to think of any Person -who could b suspected. In her judgement these crimes were the act of the same person, but who.it is or what t'e mothe she is nt-a loss to conject ure. The detective bureau confesses itself puzzled. A fact that causes them per plexity is that no forcible entry to the house was made. DepHe .the striking nature of the garments thus abstracted n evidence h's been secured of their disposal.

Geo Korsten, a well-known Jus tice of the Peace of Chicago, says "I was afflicted with catarrh for nine years. My catarrh was located chiefly in my head. I tried many remedies without avail. I applied to several doc tors, but thoy were not able to cure me. I learned of tho remedy, Pe-ru-na, through the daily newspapers. After taking the remedy for IS weeks I was entirely cured. I consider my euro p6r manent, as it has been two and a half years since I was cured." The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con tinually in tho house. In a recent letter to Dr. Har tman he says "I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to bo an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord." Pe-ru-na is known from tho Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula tion ana com mendation, testi fying to tho mer its of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun dreds of such let ters daily. All classes write theseletters,from tho highest to the lowest. Any man who Mr. Joseph West brook, of St. Edward, Neb., says: I uso Fc-ru-na in my familj for all little ailments and it has novor failed mo yet." wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal almost omnipresent. Pc-ru-na is tho only absoluto safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of ca tarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents it Ask your druggist for a free Pe-ru-na ...Jeweler Is now located at his Xew Store, 402 E.

I tooK a sever o cold, which I neglected. It developed into catarrh and bronchitis and in a short timo became chronic. I tried every thing I saw advertised, which did me no good. I saw tho great tonic (Pe-ru-na) advertised. I bought one bottle. I found myself so much better af tor tak ing it I wrote you for advice, which you kindly continued to givo mo free of chargo for rivo months. Now I am happy to inform you and the public that 1 am perfectly cured of catarrh and bronchitis. I make this statement In hope that somo of my comrades will seo it and bo benefited therebv." Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, protects tho family against other ailments. This i3 exactly what every family in tho United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in th o houso. Uso it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other cli matic affections of winter, and thcro will bo no other ailments in tho house. All families Mr. Ed. Larson, iEt na, Ind..

The simiU ty of names and circumstances lead some people here to think the Rosser who was one of the principals in the Madison Square Garden shooting tonight, may be the man who was concerned In an af fray of the same kind at San Francisco last year.

Tours for Shoes, SENT BACK TO JAIL Ten Witnesses Testify Against Shorty Wayne, The preliminary trial of Shorty Wayne, Frank Deneen, M. Callahan and Jim Scanlin, the men who are aliased to have robbed the Clearwater bank two weeks ago, was held before Judge Kirk yester day afternoon. The evidence was con sidered by the court as sufficient to war rant binding: the men over to the district court, which was done, and their bond was placed at ?S00 each. The men could not give a bond and were taken back to jail. The court room was crowded with wit nesses, spectators and officers, all of whom had more or less interest in the outcome of the case. The prisoners were brought Into the court room hand-cuffed two and two. Deneen, whj cialms to have once practiced at the bar, had a de fiant countenance and a sort of legal lore expression on his face, which, how ever, availed him nothing. lie and Wayne were hand-cuffed toeether and sat close by one of thir attorneys, Geo. Adams. Shorty "Wayne kept "still, but Deneen was profuse in his promptings of his attorney during the questioning of the state's witnesses. Calahan and Scan lin were rather meek and inoffensive looking. They are represented by Stan ley Stanley. Mr. John M. Dale, cashier of the State Bank of Clearwater, sat beside County Attorney Amidon. Mr. Dale has all the details of the case pretty well in hand and claims to have a great deal more in formation about the burglary of his bank than was brought out yesterday, though the testimony then rendered was of a very damaging kind against the prisoners. The witnesses examined ps terday were Mr. Dale, cashier of the bank; John M. Plrt, temporary relief agent at the Missouri Pacific depot at Clearwater; C. G. Leedom, Clearwater, who testified to having sold liquor to Shorty Wayne on the morning before the robbery; M. S. Bowman, Charles Hooten and William Jamison. Clear water .and Detective Sutton, Chief of Police Cubbon. Assistant Chief Massey, Officer Bedford Wood and John kinder of this city. The testimony of John Linder, who keeps a resort opposite the Whittaker packing plant, was considered very dam aging m to the defendants, iwd of whom were arrested at his place .vhile asleep. Linder testified that the gang had spent some money with him after tha tank was robbed, and paid some of the'r bi'Is In pennies. He said he got about 12 Jn pennies from the gang. The evidence showed that among the coin take-i from thf- bank were $1 in pennies and it is said that the pennies which were paid to Linder and others, vhich have teen traced by Detective Sutton, tally eac:ly with the amount taken from the bank. The state claims to he in possession of much other evidence which it will intro duce at the trial in the district cnirt. Only enough was brought it yesterday to bind the prisoners over, the rest be ing kept in reserve. The officers hero and ths ciunty at torney claim that it will be conviction for the four men when the trial comes. Mr. Dale said, after the hearlnsr yes terday, that he was in possession of much additional facts regarding the burglary which would be brought out in the next trial. The big safe which was ru'ned by the explosion has not yet been thoroughly taken apart and examined. Mr Dale says he is quite certain that there has been blown between the plates a large amount of bills, and possibly most of the promissory notes that are missing. Some of these notes are not listed in the register, as they belonged to individual parties and were only placed in the bank for safe keeping. The bank's notes are ail registered and can be re newed. These amount to about $11,000, but the notes held for other parties can not be renewed and Mr Dale is very anxious to get track of such notes.

As a rule Wichita patronizes good companies when they are known to the people here. It Is true chat a num ber of first-class attractions were poorly patronized this season, but it was princi pally the case where the name and play was a new one to Wichita theatre-goers, but as a rule good shows draw well here. Mr. Martling has just returned from the east, where he went to secure a few of the best attractions on the road, which he had been unable to contract for at the beginning of the season. He returns with the satisfaction of having succeeded better than he hoped for. He started to get two big companies and succeeded in landing five. These are "The Little Min ister," "Under the Red Robe' Roland Reed, Harry Carson Clark In "What Happened to Jones," and "A Contented "Woman." "The Little Minister" is one of the finest productions on the road and that and "Under the Red Robe" are both Frohman companies, and they are the only Frohman companies that appear in Wichita this season. Roland Reed was here last year and gave an excellent per formance, and everyone spoke of "The Contented Woman" for a month after that play appeared here last spring. Harry Carson Clark was booked here last year, bufowing to sickness he was compelled to cancel his date. He is the actor who is suffering from stomach trouble and who is running a standing advertisement in the dramatic papers offering $1,000 reward to any physician, of whatever school he may be, who can cure his malady. Mr. Clark Is a fine comedian and plays the leading role in the play "What Happened to Jnes," and says he would be perfectly content with his place dn the world if only he could regain his health. Miss Belle Archer, by the way, the leading lady in Hoyt's "A Contented Woman," will no longer act In that play after this season. She has liad a new play written for her and has Initiated a unique guessing contest to be confined to the ladies solely. A,, beautiful pastelle portrait of Miss. Archer, appro priately framed, will bo presented" to the lady who guesses the name of' her new play. This contest will remain open un til the close of this season and the only cue that is given to work on is that the name ends with the letter "Z." "Under the Red Robe" every theatre-goer will remember. This play appeared here last season and the company which played it, not the same one that presents it this year, by the way, failed to get their costumes here and the actors appeared in hastily-Improvised costumes. The Cardinal, attired In a red t able-cloth, was funny enough to remember a life time. Their costumes arrived the next morning and a damage suit against one of the railroads is still pending In the courts. DESERVES IT. Itcniarkalile, feucuots of a Xcw Treat ment For Piles. For many years it has been supposed that the only absolutely sure cure for piles was by surgical operation, but the danger to life and the pain and expense Kis been so great that many thousands suffer for years rather than submit to this last resort; or they seek the temporary relief in the many remedies claimed to re lieve piles and reetal troubles, salves, ointments and similar simple remedies which give only slight and very tempor ary relief. A new preparation which is painless and harmless, but which affords immediate relief and in many ease. a complete cure I a very short time, is sold by druggists ivler the name of Pyranwd Pile Cure, It is in suppository form used at night and its regular one has cured thousands of obstinate, loug standing cases, and It seems to be equally effective in all the various forms of piles, whether itching, bleeding or protruding.

WORRYING ABOUT PINKEY DUNN Itcformntory 'People Think She Will Have te be Tethered on the Lnvrn. Pinky Dunn, the colored girl, who Is in the county jail waiting for Judge Dale to repent and modify his sentence by sending her to Beloit Instead of putting her with the boys at the Hutchinson Re formatory, will not get her wish. Judge Dale believes she ought to go to the re formatory and she will be taken there probably next week, unless Judge Dale suddenly changes his mind, which Is not likoly. The Hutchinson News, despair ing of any hopes of keeping Pinkey out of that town, says that the question what to do with the girl at the reformatory Is a no less knotty problem than at first There are absolutely no provisions mado for taking care of female inmates, and unles another building is put up espe cially for the purpose, or Pinkey can be tethered on the lawn, some steps will hav to ba taken toward the haty dis posal of the girl. The reformation of Pinkey has been talked over among some of the Sunday school teachers of the Refermators, and J. 17. Brown has decided to admit her in his Sunday school class, while Pro fessor Hoagland Is delighted over the prospeet of a possible mixed chorus. These thinks, however, will not help out the matter of where to keep Pinkey in the building, and it is highly probable that, if she goes, instead of receiving the slow-cure process by which the boys are reformed. he will be kiln dried and dposed of in the least posslole time.

A SEDGWICK COUNTY SOLDIER Clearwater Itoy Ioinr Scouting Iuty in the Philippine The following Is a letter received by L. H. Corbin of Clearwater from his son Coney Corbin, who enlisted from here to fight in the Philippines: Jaso, Panai Island, Oct. 5, ISM. Dear Folks at Home: I received your letter of the 12th of September. It found me well and hearty, and getting along as well as could be expected. (The big ball is just ready to burst and it is a con tinuous lire from morning till night and it is all we can do to keep the "nlg" from coming in. They are getting brav er every day. The reason we do not ko after them now is, because we hap not enough men here, only the Eighteen t'i an one battalion of the Nineteenth in fantry, but with what force we have we are going to try and do something. The insurgent army is 15,600 strong and 4 30 rifles or, that is the report our Che-o spy gives. Aguinatdo has sent 400 TagaJs down from Luzon to help these people out and the next day after they came, things was hot for us. They savy how to use a rifle. Saturday is a big day 'for them and last Saturday they sent us word they were coming over to eat Sun day dinner with us. W e strengthened the outposts and waited for them, when about U o'clock they commenced. They crawled within MO feet before they ever fired a shot and then they cut loose and made things hum. but the Krags ?poke back in a way that struck fear to the'r diearts. You know they fire from the hips and there is more damage done in the rear than on the main line. It was the finest moonlight nigh I ever saw, and I tell you the slrht wae grand, to see a line for a mile long, and the firing was alt done by vollies. They changed their minds in about two hours and kept still until the next day, and then it would be the same old thing over again. Harry and I are not in company C any more.

Direct to my SCORE STRONG PI Defendants Think They are Safe on Hayden's Testimony BOARD WAS INFORMED Of Condition of Doran's Ac count by Harry Stewart. Ex-County Commissioner Hayden, sprung eome damaging testimony against the county while on the witness stand in the Doran case yesterday. Mr. Hayden was commissioner during Doran's first term, and on cross-examination he ad mitted that Harry Stewart, then assist ant county clerk, had reported a dis covery of a shortage in the treasurer's accounts, and so notified the board of oounty commissioners. The discovery is said to have been made while Mr. Stew art was checking up the accounts of Mr. Carvin, then county clerk. The cross examination of Mr. Hayden brought out the fact that after having been made aware of the Doran shortage the board refused to take any action in the way of an investigation of the treasurer's books. Mr. Stewart submitted a written agree ment to the board, offering to collect the Doran shortage for 25 per cent of the amount. This agreement, it seems, was acted upon by the board, but one member absolutely refused to consent to an in vestigation, while the other member was in favor of it. Asked as to his opinion at that time, Mr. Hayden said he thought it was not just the proper time to inves tigate, consequently the board did not act. The commissioner who wanted to investigate was not elected the next fall, so the matter dropped. The defendants claim the board did not do its duty. The fact of the alleged shortage at that time is aid to have been kept from them, and they were innocent of the condition of Doran's accounts. Expert accountant Patterson was taken off the witness stand yesterday for the, purpose of having him examine a ce 'iln period of Doran's term with regard to shortage, and he was closeted with the huge volumes all day. The jury was excused until Tuesday morning, by which time it Is thought Patterson will have made the required in vestigation and be ready to go on the stand again. 1 Hci&B-HIErHlE HiEEEIHE&9 Trade at Fulton's It pays.

A., was held Thursday afternoon at the homo of Mrs. Meredith. After roll call had been responded to, by ori ginal quotations, furnished ny the host ess, and the minutes of the preceding meeting had been read, three applicants for membership wero voted on and receiv ed. The topic of the day was: "Gift giving: Granted that it has become a farce, how may we who have helped to make it so, best exert our influence to bring about a change for the better?" The president, Mrs. Lenore Groves, in troduced the subject by the reading of a timely article about the changed con dition of the Christmas saint, who is aging and grieving that the spirit of the gift-giving people is tinctured with bar ter. Gifts are given to pay off indebted ness and not in the spirit of the Christ who gave himself for the world. Mrs. Meredith read a paper on the topic. Among the many good things she said was that "We should 'begin to train tho young parrots as it is hard to train an old one." And that does seem to be the only solution of "how to bring about a change for the better." Many good thoughts were "brought out, but there was Continued on Seventh Page. .GRA1N-0! GRAIN-0!

(Continued from Sixth Page.) THE TRUE VALUE OF EACH NEW DISCOVERY AS A PRE VENTIVE OF DISEASE. 1S46 DISCOVERY OF ETHER AS AN ANESTHETIC. 1S60 DISCOVERY OF COCAINE. 1879 DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF TYPHOID FEVER. 1S02 DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF CONSUMPTION. 1SS3 DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF DIPHTHERIA. 1S92 Behrinar's DISCOVERY OF ANTITOXINE OF DIPHTHERIA 1895 DISCOVERY OF HYOMEI. 1S96- FIRST CASE OF CONSUMPTION CURED BY HYOilEI. The discovery of -he first two, ether and cocaipe, was of value to the medical profession only -In surgery, and has been of no benefit, whatever, In preventing and corins diseases. THE DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF TYPHOID FEVER, however, was one of tie greatest impor tance, for it proved conclusively that this was a germ disease and enabled the phy sicians to treat it as such. As a result of such treatment the death rate from typhoid fever has been reduced from 40 to per cent during the past twenty years. THE DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF DIPHTHERIA was another valuable one, but as this bacillus could only be reached through the blood, none of the germicides known could be used with effect. It wai not until M92 when Bearing discovered the antitoxine of diohtheria that any pro gress whatever ivas made In successfully treating this dread disease, since that time the injection of antitoxine directly into the blood has had a marked effect upon the death rate from diphtheria, and its universal use wHl undoubtedly In me stain? out this disease. THE DISCOVERY OF THE BACILLUS OF CONSUMPTION was the roost important of all, for it co mpletely changed the whole ideas of the Tnedlcal profession regarding this disease. Heretofore consumption had always been considered hereditary; now, it is kn own to be infectious. The proof that consumption was a germ disease necessitated an entire change in the method cf treatment. It was found that these germs lodged in the air passages and c ,uld only be reached throurh the air we breathe. As soon as this became known, efforts were made to force some of the lieuid germicides Into these air passages; but Nature had erected at the entrance of the bronchial tubes an im- iassao Barrier to moisture of any (kind. Sprajjs and vapors in every form were I salesman and has already become popu- t.icu, ovi as in aipnuiena. tnere was only one way of reaching the disease germs, throurh the air we breathe, and no dry air germicide was to be found. This state of affairs existed for twelve long years, the death rate increasing from S8.0W to 2W.033 yearly. In 1895 Booth discovered "Hyomel," the first and only dry air germicide ever found. Later in the year he introduced it to the pro fession, and in ISM the first case of nothing in the way of a discussion, for all agreed that the proper way of giving is: "With no desire for gratitude, iove or reward; this alone gives us growth of souL Hiss Clara Cox gave a review of "American Literature," which was very Instructive. Letters from sister circles were read from the states of Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey cud Colorado. The correspondence feature of the club is an inspiration and delight to the members. The home of the hostess was prettily decorated with suitable mottoes and rosebuds typical of the "budding condition of the P. "W. A. The members were agreeably surprised at the clor-e of the club meeting to listen to an address from the hostess welcoming them to her home. This was responded to by the presiaent after which all enjoyed themselves by partaking of the most ap petizing refreshments daintly served. Each memfcer carried away a beautiful j rosebud, tied with red, white and blue, upon the white -were the letters "P. VS. A." STAXBERRT-STTTH. Relative to the nuptials of ifr. J. H. Stanberry of the "Wichita Produce com pany, which occurred "Wednesday, the Attica Independent says: "On Wednes day, December 7, Mr. J. H. Stanberry of Mlchita and Miss Mary Stith of Attica were unite! in the holy bands of matri mony by Rev. J. R.

Stith played a toeautifaii wedding march and the con tracting parties entered the parlor where they were made man and wife. The bride was attired in a neat-fitting semi-iailor-made gown of folue broadcloth, trimmed in white Liberty satin. After the cere mony the party vas led to the dining room, where an elegant luncheon was served. The bride and groom left on the afternoon train for Wichita, where they will make their future home. Mr. Stanberry was for several years engaged in the mercantile business in this city. About a year ago he was employed by the "Wichita. Produce company as a traveling CONSUMPTION WAS CURED, ilrs. E.

You will surely get thinner and thinner, until at last you are starved to death. Grass won't answer, although it is good for the horse. You must have a food suitable to your needs. Ayer's Hair Vigor is a hair food. It won't take the place of grass or of bread. It is good for the -hair, and that is all. It feeds the hair with hair food. The hair can't keep from grow ing. It stops falling out because it is hearty and strong. And it always restores the early-rich, dark color to gray hair. A year ago my hair was coming out very fast. I bought a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor to stop this. It not only stopped the falling of my hair, but made it grow veryfapidly, until now it is 45 inches in length and very thick." Mrs. A.

V 'jl Correspondence of The Eagle.) Kington, Oec Senator Harris has luced three joint resolutions In the .t looking to amendment of the con- m.n. They are: Providing that 1 States senators shall be elected by vote of the people; providing for a i incomes; providing that the presf- all hold omce six years and shall i eligible for re-election. i kiig to me on these resolutions. it. r Harris said to me yesterday: "As motion of senators by direct vote, the ,i mtnts are ail one way.

"The question of making a president in e'jpible for re-election was nearly fixed in the start by the constitutional convention. As it is, a president spends two years in ture of Cuba and the situation in the Philippines. The presidpnt emphasizes the necessity of aid to our merchant ma rine which will broaden the markets for the producers of agriculture and manu- organizing; then two years more in pre- facture. While the pledge. in the resolu- paring himself and party for a. re-election and indorsement. In the other case, he would have two years in which to or ganize and then four years in which to prove the correctness of his and his ad ministration's policy. I would be will ing to make ex-presidents honorary mem bers of the senate. This is a question which has been often discussed. The ex presidents would be valuable members of the senate, and while their vote mieht he partially restricted, their presence and participation in the seiate would too to the country's and that body's interests." Senator Harrfe also has a bill granting to the state of Kansas the abandon.! Fort Hays military reservation, for the purpose of establishing western branches of the state agricultural college and state normal school, and for a public park. The senator believes this is due western Kan sas, and thinks that an experimental sta tion for the prorogation of grasses, main tained partly by the department of ag ricultural, would be very valuable to western Kansas. He says he has dis cussed the question with Secretary Wll son a number of times, and urged him, if this be done, to send to Asiatic Rus sia, Algeria, Morocco and other and countries for specimens of grasses adapt ed to such a country as western Kansas. Senator Harris also has a bill to return the arms of the Twentieth Kansas to the state. Thy would be valuable for the prate normal ana oiner scnoois, espe cially milts ry, Kside from the sentimer tal feature of the move. Then they are out of date, and of no practical ue to the government. The senator is much Interested in the tion of congress in relation Cuba is re f erred to as an honorable obligation 'and one which must be sacredly kept, yet the president explicitly declares that the des tinies of Cuba are irrevocably linked with our own and' that our mission will not be fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely framed government that the people of that island may form, but that we must see to it that her agricultural and indus trial prosperity is restored and the pur suits of peace Te-estabHshed. The situa tion in the Philippines is graphically de scribed. It is reassuring to know that th war will not end until the insurgents sur rend;?. The rebellion is to be put down and the islands are not to be abandoned. The president recommends that congress provide a special medal of honor for the soldiers and sailors who voluntarily re mained on duty in the Philippines after their terms of enlistment had expired. The Twentieth Kansas wans one of the or ganizations that so remained, and would be entitled to such recognition. The ru ture government of the Philippines is left to congress where it belongs, but the position of the president is clearly de nned In the following words: The Islands He under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. T&ey cannot -be abandoned. i we desert them, we leave them at once to anarchy, and finally barbarism. We fling them, a golden apple of discord, among the rival powers, no one of which would permit i another to seise them unquestioned.' M. C. Davis Is an ex-Kanaan who has been connected with tHe penlon bureau for the past eighteen years, and Is now in the field as a special examiner. He was formerly editor of an Ellsworth paper. Xlcaraguan canal, like all of the Kansas I ?5 tWM Ialta' m Pratt coanty delegation. He says the senate committee j I While there he had two "devils" at dtf- wffl be enlarged from seven to nine mem bers. He thinks the appropriation of one million dollars for a commission to in vestigate the old routes was not for the host interests of the project. These routes, he declares, are of no benefit, are Impracticable, and the whole thlag; was a move by enemies of the canal. Senator Harris has Just been made a member of the senate committee on elee-tioas. Speaking of the praaideafs Congresatnaa tang said: The message is 06eclaMy ame and forceful hi the ree- ommendatioss rehKias to the re-estb- ferent times, of whom he is very proud. One of them is WUHam Tan Benthuysen, later on the eavenworta Times, then with the Chicago TrlbuBe, and now man- j aging editor of the New York World. The other was X. il.

Mr. Long has InfaoJnced a number of special nanan Mihv. Among them are those for the xettef of tne following Wichita veterans: MwAsen McCoSBstex. Jacob 2&Jse, S&xaoel T. Derry. Wfflnm I. Rose, Frederick Bottjer, and one for Mrs. Sarah Burrell. Congressman Heeder of Kansas has been appointed by Speaker Henderson as a member of the committee on mileage. Notable in connection with the R berts agitation is the way so many distinguish ed lawyers, and so many congressman, got erroneous ideas of the matter, and expressed them in public print, without first looking up the precedents of the law. Two of the distinguishel legal lights who did this are ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont and Senator Hoar of Massachu setts. Both of these gentlemen, among the best constitutional lawyers of the nation, lnfcted that congress could not define additional qualifications to those set forth for congressmen by the consti tution. They both insisted that Roberts could not be permitted to stand aside and not have the oath administered. A num ber of leading congressmen also made the same statements, and It caused them some little trouble and embarrassment when Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, house minority leader, who defended Roberts, read some of these statements on the floor of the house in the debate on the resolution to submit the oase to a spe cial committee. The trouble with these gentlemen Is that they talked before they looked up be question. Those who have looked up the law, and found what the precedents are. and then talked for publi- cation, were wise men. They are those who are now being congratulated en their forethought. As a matter of fact, during and since this debate and reference, it Is quite generally conceded that the consti tution does not say and mean that a congressman poasesBlng the requisites named that he mast be 35 years of age: seven years a cttiaen of the United States, and a dtfeen of the district and state whenae be comes must, perforce, be seated. It states all these things in this introductory language: "Ko person shall be entitled. etc. "who Is not." j etc. This is altoge'her different from) sayings that any penes wha has these: qualifications shall be eiigibte. The Rob- i erts question undouotedly was the Mg- gest one of Its kind that has appeared in congress, for many year. It baa caused more worry, more work; more dodsSn, more talk; mote apeeniathnt; more nacSsed galleries, than esijrfsing awcy cm- sreases. And tt Is net yet erer The begtn&Sng has just occurred.

The most important sx.sre to b ur gseted tbh early tn th i.-.n is -s currency measure. Jntrcda e j n :he boss the opening day of the session. This bill is in line with the prosperity and confidence now existing in this country, and is to further the same. The bill was prepared by a conference of leadinr Re publican members of the house at At lantic dity last summer. It was very thoroughly considered, and since the first of the week has been the subject of con sideration in all Its phases by the Repub lican caucus. The bill will have early action in the house, and will be sup ported unanimously by the Republicans. Its Important provisions, concisely stated. are as follows: First, the Mil recognizes that we now have the gold standard, and provides for its maintenance in the fu ture. AH bonds of the government and all private and public obligations are to be paid according to the present stand ard. The present legal tender quaUty of the silver and pepT currency now tn ex istence is not affected and the green backs are not retired; second, a cehl re serve equal to 55 ier eent of the amount of United States notes and treasury notes outstanding, is created. Tb fund is for the redemption of these notes In order to preserve the equal value of all money Issued by the government. It is to make one dollar as good as any other dollar, and all as good as gold. It enacts tnto law what has been the policy of the Treasury department for twenty years; third, when notes and certificates are presented and gold obtained, they can only be said out again for fprd; fourth, provision is made for Increasing the amount of subsidiary silver coin by caus ing the silver bullion in the treasury to be thus ostsed The present law. which Umlts toe amount of subsidiary silver coin entstandinc to 9.OJe. Is repealed: fifth, stiver certificates can only be Is sued to deoo mutations of i& and under.

She went to Kirk's the first of that fatal week, taking her 4-year-old daughter. On the morning of the Fourth Kirk ask ed his sister to accompany him to some pleasure resort to spend the FouTlh. She declined to go, whereupon Taylor remark ed, applying to her an Infamous epithet, "I want to kill you anyhow," and sent two bullets crashing through her brain. Turning his deadly weapon upon his brother William and his wife, who wera eye-witnesses to the horrible crime, he told them he would serve them in the same way if they refused to accompany 3ilm and the corpse to Cloud Chief and swear that Mary Garborough deliberately committed suicide in their presence. They lxhh agreed to do so, well knowing the x3cspofate character of Kirk. Then he wrapped the hoily of his dead MLr ia a. wugon sneei, inrew ner into a wagon like a butchered pig and proceed- cd to Cloud Chief, where he hird an iron j box made to seal and ship the body to Texas, after which he went to a phjsi- j clan to get a certificate of death by sui- J cide, but the county attorney and sheriff i not being satisfied with his way of dis posing of the dead, arrested Kirk and placed him in jail.

WILL BE EARLY CONVENTION .Republican Selection of Ielesatcsto National Convention. Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 9. In all probabil ity the Republican territorial convention to select delegates to the national con- vention will be held early. This seems to be the concensus of opinion. The na tional convention, it is thought, will not be held later than May and the territorial convention will probably be held in March. Interest centers in this latter because of likely contests, which it is predicted will take place there. There is also consider able anxiety about -what the national committee will do In regard to territorial representation. Up to four years ago the territory was given two delegates. Before the St. Louis convention, Oklahoma suc ceeded m getting permission to swell her delegation N? fcix. It is reported that the national committee in a general reap portionment will cut Oklahoma down to four, but Mr. At,?, the national commit teeman, will combat this and may pre vent it. If the territorial convention had been held a month ago there is no question but what a lively three-cornered fight would have taken place between forces designated as Barnes forces the Flynn forces, the and the Jenkins forces, and had the convention been any where near equally divided a tumultuous time -cvould have resulted, for combinations would have been made with the greatest difficulty If at all. The convention may be subject to such a clash, but at the present time that does not appear likely, as the fational fever is dying out rapidly. Flynn being head over heels at work in "Washington, Barnes enjoying a respite from attacks via Washington, and Sec retary Jenkins and United States Mar shal Thompson alone being credited with political activity at this time. It is thought that Mr Jenkins expects to be made governor during Presdent McKin- iey'3 second term, and for this reason wm seeK to be on the delegation which goe3 to tne national convention, and that Mr. Thompson expects to be re-appointed I United States marshal, and also seeks to bo a delegate. Older politicians say tha't both these gentlemen may -jet see. before tne convention meets, that being on the delegation may Injure Instead of holp thpm, because the fight they een gender against themselves in getting on the delegation will endure and have to be met when their appointment Is up be fore the president later. These men say

that j Jenkms and Ir xnompson see- ing thlg wlll not Jet tne!r names gc be- fore the territorial convention. However, there is little question that Secretary Jenkins, In order to demonstrate his pow er in the territory to the president as a likely candidate for governor, now ex pects to be a delegate. Governor Barnes, it is understood, is not over-anxious to tin --i tIi A .1 -T n rr-i f Inn Tllf s f tlll TITO r fr "Vile frIenda there. Mr. Flvnn also expects frJends on the legation. As the matter stands today Barnes is not apparently figuring on making any i i .v. particular struggle to gain the delegation, and nelther ls Flynn, and 1 the reputed

fight for It which Jenkins and Thompson will make does not materialize the con vention will be without the spirit of con tost and the delegation will be selected with no other design possibly than the selection of a national committeeman. Arther possible contest which will en ter Into the territorial convention to se lect delegates to the national convention, is the matter of congressional nomina tion It ls thought that the congression al delegate will have considerable to say about the governorship for McKinley's second term, whether it is Governor Barnes' reappointment or not, and the Jenkins forces are anxious to have a delegate In congress favcrable to them, and it Is likely that if they should be successful in the first territorial conven- l tion they would loe their power in that convention to secure the later territorial convention which nominates a delegate to congress and the nomination of a man favorable to the appointment of Mr. Jen kins to the Governorship. If the possi bility of such a contest grows, Flynn's friends, it is thought, will begin an ag gressive campaiKti for the delegation. They claim that Mr. Jenkins cannot carry his own county.

ENROLLMENT OF INDIANS Has Caused a Rapid Rise in the Birth Rate. Guthrie, O. Dec. 9 Never rerhaps in the United States or any other coun try has a situation, so completely filled with bizarre and outlandish features, come up to equal the transitory period now prevailing in th& Five Civilized tribes. As a single feature it Is a fact that the baby industry in the tribes among the lower classes at this time Is some thing as amusing as astounding. The family which has not produced an addi tional member this year, or with pros pects of so doing within the early part of 1900, is in despair. The family, bless ed with twins, feels aristocratic The reason for this is that the Dawes com mission in enrolling the citizehs of the five tribes, must now include on the rolls of citizenship the baby, and each addi tion to the family in this way entitles the head of the family to the selection of an additional allotment, varying from approximately 500 acres in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nation to 120 in the Chero kee nation. The Dawes commissioners say in their report: "The opportunity thus afforded for the acquisition j.of wealth is readily se'en and embraced by the more degenerate classes and as a result the birth rate is high." Few people in Oklahoma, living as near as they do to the scenes of these trans actions, appreciate what a fund of odd things this matter of enrollment is bring ing to light, particularly among the Sem inoles and the Creeks. There is an intense Interest in the Dawes comr.sioners narration of their woik along this line among these two tribes. Speaking of it, they say in their report: "A very general impression ex ists among those unacquainted with con ditions in Indian Territory that the work of making rolls of 'Indians' is a compar atively simple matter, susceptible of ac complishment in a short space of time. Were Indian Territory merely a reserva tion peopled by full-blood Indians, that impression would have foundation in fact, but Indian blood, unfortunately, is not the sole qualification for citizenship in Indian Territory; and, -indeed, as will be seen later, if other requisites are not lacking, it i not even an element. In other words, certain arbitrary laws and decisions govern the commission in de termning who and who are not eligible to enrollment. For example, were a full blood Cherokee Indian fom 'North Caroli na now to present himself for enrollment tp the commission, his application would be rejected; whereas, were a white man to now contract marriage with a Choctaw or Chickasaw, conformable to the laws of those nations, he would be entitled to enrollment. When completed the citizen ship rolls of the Five Tribes will be found to contain the nams of full-blood Indians, negroes and white men, with every intervening degree of blood. Gen erally stated, the right to enrollment as citizens of the Five Tribes is derived from one of six primary sources. First Inheritance of Indian blood, coupled with continuous affiliation and residence .ith one of the Five Tribes In Indian Terri tory and duly recognized and enrolled as a member thereof. Second Adoption by act of national (tribal) council. Third Treaty stipulations under which certain classes of persons of African descent commonly termed 'Freedmen become vested with full or qualified property and political rights. Fourth Admission to citizenship by the commission to the Five Civilized Tribes of the United States court in Indian Territory on appeal there from, under act of congress, June 10, 1596. Fifth Admission to citizenship by a le gally constituted court, committee, or commission designated by the several tribes, under the act of Juno 10, 1S96, or by the United States court on appeal therefrom. t Sixth Intermarriage. "Neither this commission nor any other tribunal has now authority to ad mit applicants to citizenship. The doors to applicants have been permanently clos ed, and tribal membership can no longer be augmented from any of the above named sources, save two, viz: intermar riage with Choctaw or Chickasaw citizens and births of children. It remains only for thij commission to determine what claimants to enrollment in the various nations have, in fact, acquired citizenship through one of the sources above named. These six primary sources of citizenship, with the exception of Intermarriage, apply alike to all the five tribes, but the trea ties, laws, and customs under which they apply vary with each nation, save as to that class whoe citizenship was established by this commission or the United States courts, and no general rule thprofor. can be laid down for the suid ance of the commission for enrolling cit izens of the various ""tribes. The act of June 2S, 1S93, makes it the duty of the commission to prepare ten separato rolls, viz: Cherokees, by blood, intermarriage and adoption; Cherokee freedmen: Delawares (in Cherokee na tion); Creek Indians: Creek freedmen; Seminoles, Indians and freedmen; Choc taws, by blood, intermarriage and adoption- PhnMw freedmen: Chickasaws, by j blood, lntennarriase and adoption; Chick asaw freedmon. "To accomplish this work, the commis sion is autlwrlred 'to take a census of each of said tribes or adopt any other means by them deemed necessax to en able them to make such roils." A fur ther provision of the law makes it in cumbent upon the commission to" make rolls 'descriptive of the persons thereon, so that they may be thereby identified "Roughly estimated, the number of citi zens to be thus enrolled In each nation may be stated as follows: Cherokees. Cherokee freedmen, i,V: Dela ware. 1.0&1: Creeks. 10.G5$; Creek freed men. 6.0G9: Choctaws, 1M: Choctnw freedmen. 4.; Cbocfeasaws, tC!S; Chick asaw freedmen. 4.S; Seminoles. 1C09. "Immediately upon the passage of the Cartls Act the commlseion made prepar ation to enter actively upon the doty of staking "correct rolls of cltrams. Though commonly termed a ceasea the method parsned is not to be coa-pared -with the -work which properly comes wa der that term in enumerating thv p"!? the j-'a.ts. A h -e-t--ho-e -it j w ail be .n-p-av .VJ' n i. r jr-ct' fjr i- fff""- ---j." Fr--fvi3 n- -"oe ie rnnr-s .oi rJ m I strated the impossibility of securing ho tel accommodations in the interior of the various nations even where towns of moderate size had sprung up, and for the commission to secure suitable food and lodging in the more sparsely settled dis tricts and among thc-full-bloods was not to be thought of. There could be no question, however, as to the desirability if not the absolute necessity of the com mission visiting well distriSuted points throughout the interior, as in no other manner could the full-bloods be induced to present themselves for enrollment, and any other method would entail too much expense upon the applicants. sThe commission therefore purchased the necessary equipment for its mainte nance in the field, such as tents for of fice, sleeping, dining and cooking pur poses, kitchen utensils, wagons and muls for transporting the equipment from piace co place, and such supplies as were accessary for the subsistence of the party and the transaction of business. "Prior to the passage of the Curtis Act the commission had devoted some time to the enrollment of the Creeks The effort, however, was attended with only partial success, owing to the favorable ientiment enter'ained by the full-bloods toward the 'blanket policy,' and their revulsion of feeling toward a change of conditions, in which they were supported by the principal chief, himself a full blood. Provisions of the Curtis Act not only required additional information to be secured in connection with each citi zen's enrollment, but required a separate roll of Cherokee freedmen, with addi tional restrictions. The information al ready secured in the Creek nation was, therefore, not sufficient to comply with the law, and the commission found it necessary to Include that nation in its plans for enrollment work. Appoint ments were made and, advertised by meth ods best adapted for the class of people to be reached, covering the Seminole. Creek and Chickasaws nations, in the or der named, and extending to November, 1SS3. "The Seminoles are the fewest in num bers of the five tiibes, and their govern ment nas been free from corruption. The rolls of the tribe, while crude in measure, were found free from all Irregularities of a fraudulent character. The chief dif ficulties experienced by the commifaslon in their enrollment arose from the fact that very few well-established family nams exist, and appltcrtnts were not always able to give such Information regarding parentage, relationship, etc., as is nec essary to make 'rolls descriptive of the persons thereon,' and from the further fact that ery few of the Seminoles speak English. Intermarriage with a citizen of the Seminole does not confer citizenship on the non-citizen so inter marrying, and there are therefore no in termarried citizens to be enrolled in that nation. Indeed, It is essentially a nation of full-bloods, save as to its colored citi zens, who, under treaty provision, are on an equal footing with the citizens by blood. About one-third of the citizens of the Seminole nation are freedmen, and while the lavr does not specifically re quire a .senarate roll of each of these cases, the commission's data will enable it to separate them. The preliminary roll of the Seminoles has been completed, but as no date, has yet been fixed after which children born to citizens shall not be added, the roll can not be closed. "Many more difficulties presented them selves to the commission In the enroll ment of Creeks, and their enrollment was not completed at the appointments made. Their enrollment, however, is gradually being effected, as will appear under another head. ''Particularly difficult is the enrollment of Creek freedmen, whose rights thereto are dependent upon their names or that of their ancestors appearing upon the roll made by J. "W. Dunn (United States Indian agent) prior to March 14, 1S67, or upon admission to citizenship by proper authority since that time. The colored population, of the Creek Nation is large, and-it is safe to say that not a dozen freedmen in the entire nation at the time of the passage of the Curtis Act knew or remembered hat there was ever a roll made by J. W. Dunn; yet so rapidly does the colored race transmit information of this character from one to another that nearly every man, woman and child in the nation now recognizes the importance of being on the 'Dunn roll' or being a descendant of some one who was; and so persistent are they in their efforts ao establish a status thereunder that the strictest and most vigilant care must be exercised in the Identification of appli cants. "The chief difficulty in this regard lies jn the fact that the 'Dunn roll,' so called, was prepared immediately after the abolishment of slavery, at which sur :ames among slaves were practically un known. "When an thing more than a giv en name was necessary, the names of former masters were as-aimed, and ia was by this method, largely, that Major Dunn enrolled the Creek freedmen 'n 1SC7. Sln-e that time, however, a very iarze per cent of the Creek freedmen have changed their nines, and, Indeed, many are equally well known bj se-eral names. After a period of forty years it is not an easy matter to Identify those whose names appear on the roll in question. In view of the fact that each freedman who Is found entitled to enrollment will receive nearly two hundred acre sof land, and that most families will thus receive several hundred acres, it Is not surprl?ing that considerable effort should be made by these people to get on the rolls. Many of those now claiming have been recognized by the tribe as citizens and been enrolled one or more times on tri bal rolls, without having been admitted by act of council or otherwise legally ac-quirin-r that enrollment. That a mone tary consideration has been the medium by which ooth freedmen and others have In some instances gained ad ml 51 on to the tribal rolls can not be questioned, and as the law authorises the commission to eliminate such names from the tribal membership progress is necessarily slow.

DECIDE FINE LAND POINT Unusual Contest Settled by KinRftaher Taiid Official. Cruthrie, O. T., Dec. 9. A fine point In land contests was decided by the register and receiver of the Kingfisher land office thi3 week. This was In a decision In the case of James M. Gooden vs. Robert P. Little, involving the E. S. E. and lots 3 and 4 of section IS, township 10, N. R. 28, "W. I. M. In this case one Smith was the original entryman and Little had purchased the Improvements and secured relinquishment, and made entry for tho land. Prior to the purchase of the im provements, and prior to the time of Lit tle's entry, Gooden had moved on the place and without authority of tho entry men had taken possession of the land and improvements, with the intention of set tling on the tract and claiming the same as his home. After the entry of the tract by Little, he brought contest, alleging his prior right to said land by reason of his settlement and prior occupation. The re linquishment of the former entry and the entry of Little were simultaneous, but the officers decided in favor of the plaintiff, Gooden, holding that the right of a set tler who ls residing upon the land cover ed hy the entry of another attaches eo lnstantl on the relinquishment and can cellation of such entry, and is superior to that of a homesteader who makce entry for the land Immediately after its re linquishment. It will be noted that the settler in this case was on the land with out permission or authority of the origin al entryman. Had he been residing on the land as a tenant or by permission of the entryman, another rule would have ap plied, and before he could have claimed any settlement or other rights in himself, he would have been required to clear the record of the existing entry In other words, it seems that where a person Is rightfully on a tract embraced In the en try of another, as a tenant or by hie au thority, he cannot set up a settlement right in himself upon the rettm-uk-hmeoi of the entry, but if be Is ott the land as a trttfspaaser vt tt armi. or against the authority of the enUyman. and is eUlra- ing settlement, upon rlinrailuaent, Ms right of settlement woeM attach Instan taneously, and defeat a slmclut-Moos en try.

Thee coun ty and school taxes could In no way be affected by statehood. Neither the 'ex penses of public schools nor of county government would be a single farthing greater if we were under a state govern ment, than they are now. And" how Governor Barnes can justify tho broad statement that government expenses' would be more than doubled we do not understand. "If he does not mean that these taxes would be doubled, then where would the enormous Increase which he predicts oc cur. Would it be in territorial taxation? Let us see: Only about one-third of one per cent or 3 mills on the hundred dollars Is levied for general purposes. The re mainder, or 2 1-5 mills. Is levied for the Normal schools, the university, the color ed school, the agricultural school, the schools for the blind and the deaf and dumb. Now would the fyt that we might be under a state government increase the expenses of these schools? Certainly not. The legislature would provide for their wants just as it does now. And their necessities would be no greater. "There remains, then, only the 3 mills for the general fund to be considered. "Would that be doubted? That levy pays about STA.OOO annually for caring for the insane and a large sum for maintaining criminals. Certainly statehood would not increase criminality nor insanity: and there could be no doubling of expense on these accounts. It pays the salary of the auditor, superintendent of public Instruc tion, treasurer, the governor's private secretary, the adjutant general and num erous other offices. It also pays for rec ords, blanks, stationery, fuel and other expenses for maintaining- the public of fices. It also pays a large amount for public printing and ther legislative ex penses. "Would there bo any occasion for Increasing these salaries and expenses on account of statehood? It is absurd to contend that there would be. There is. therefore, no reason what ever for supposing that governmental ex penses would be doubled, or even in creased to any extent whatever And the only basis for the assertion that tax ation would be Increased in any degree is that tho territory would lose the little government appropriation which pa3 t0 salaries of a part of the federal officiate and a small fraction of the leglsaltlvo expenses. That appropriation averages a trifle over $23,000 per annum, and is only one-fourteenth of one per cent on the assessed valuation of the property of the territory. So that instead of doubling taxation, which tho governor states is now from 4 to 5 per cent, only one-fourteenth of one per cent could be added to existing rates. Assuming the present rate throughout the territory to average 4 per cent the Increase would add one-fifty-sixth to tho present rate. And yet the governor states officially that tax ation would be more than doubled. He la certainly very desperately against state hood."

AIDED BY APPROPRIATIONS From the Morrill Fund Makes Future Glorious. Guthrie. O. T Dec Sl-Hor. A. C Scott, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Stillwater ia highly gratined over the raold advancement of the institution within th& -reet year. Speaking of results In the Immediate paat and the bright outlook for the future President Seott said; "We have every reason to feel pleased over the rapid growth ef the Agricultural and Mechanical College. We have gained practically iw per cent over lost year in attendance, and shall doubtless a-trott 400 students before the end of the Mhoel year. But the mere increase la num bers, while gratifying, is not the prlMl pal thing Our equipment and enllecy for Instruction have also bean praetleaUy doubled or will be as soon as we gat into our new bufldfngs. "The action determined upen by the regents In appropriating the MorrlU fund in accordance with the needs of the col lege is another long step ia advance. Thirty thousand dollars has been a-r'-priated for additional M-ulpnont, r r ly apportioned to the several depart mo ,t. This action was rendered not only pv- ble. but imperative, by a recent ruling of the interior department ttmt the acenmu inted amount in the Morrill fund should be expended within a reasonable Urn. I think it ought to be stated In this con nection that this is a government, not a territorial fund. There has been some misunderstanding about this. Adding this ISfcOCX) to amounts recently author ized for the equipment of the mechajtieal and electrical departments, and for other purpose", the total will represent an ad dition to our efiuipmont of about IIS.C00. A larira nArtlan a fhi nnxuvinrfaftiiAn probably JW.0M. will go to the more com plete equipping of the departments of agriculture and horticulture. Two new departments will be eataMtehed and equipped the department of dosnesUiC science, and the department of eJvtt en gineering.

Guthrie. O. T., Dec. 9. Harry Giistrap, tiitor of the Chandler News, advises the fr.eads of single statehood, that is state .rjod which will include the" Indian Ter ra tory, to organize and give expression 1 1 their wishes. On this subject he ex cesses ttte following views: "According t j newspaper reports, Delegate Flynn in nds to introduce and work for the passage of a bill admitting Oklahoma to statehood with Its present boundaries, with the provision that the several In dian reservations migrt be added as con gress should decide. "We hope Mr. Flynn will not do this, for such a measure is a. compromise between single and doub:e t atehood and Is forse than either. If ('Klahoma and the Indian Territory are t eventually be one state they should c me in together, so that neither Bill .tie an unfair advantage. If we are rni to have single statehood it ought to b settled now, if there is to be .ny s atehood legislation at alL The eltect t T such a proposition will surely be to align the friends of single statehood c--ainet the statehood bilL "In the past there has never been an crgdnized opposition to the statehood in vement, but if it is to be taken for jnted that the silence of a part of the t rntory means an endorsement of the lUns of the clique of statehood agita t rs. It will be well for the friends of :-gle statehood to organize and give ex t r- sion to their wishes. Of course Mr. 1 jynn has heard no organized expres- i that would contradict the state r .-nts contained in the resolutions of the atehood conventions, and until he has t -me request from hie constituents to do otherwise he probably feels it his duty t work for statehood. There may not much danger of such a bill becoming a 1 w, but it should not receive the en d rement of Oklahoma people if it is i'-trjduced. If we aim at ultimate single Jehood we cannot keep good faith Tvi'h the people of the Indian territory if we insist on congress giivng Oklaho v i statehood and adding, the Indian Ter-r-ry to Oklahoma a little at a time. If ngle statehood is not aimed at, this r- posed bIH is framed to deceive the f..-nds of single statehood. NEWS OF A MISSIONARY Who Is Enlijrlitenine Bryan's De votees in Southern Stntew. t klahoma City, O. T., Dec 9. To the F tor of the Eagle: A prominent Mis s -ippi Democrat is quietly canvassing t southern states and showing to the I img Democratic politicians the absurd 1 of William J. Bryan's 16 to 1 hobby, R' 1 thai too many Democrats know that egress cannot enact and enforce a law it 52 cents worth of silver can be made u llar by Bryan's method, and that the iJv Democratic congress the United ites has had during the last forty irs repealed the Sherman silver bill in that furnished enjoyment for 39V f men, -who soon afterward went to the r lule and eastern states, which, with t it Democratic Wilson free trade tariil stagnated business ail over the I .red Stales, and put thousands of men u of employment and closed the f actor- and allowed England to furnish us clothing-: and that for these reasons t "William J. Bryan hobby is directly nsistent with and contrary to the .m of repealing the Sherman silver 1 i. and nearly all of the Populists now s erst aad that fact and have joined the I tublican party. Further, toe -shows to them that to es tablish the Bryan silver doctrine will -nnly establish the silver standard, ami n the lasO.Oitt.fl&D currency of national mk notes, and the $700,000,009 of silver t .lars we have in circulation, will de- ie in value to 5 cents on the dollar, i h will reduce the .650,W,08 'n cir- Mion to $S5S.GCO,000; and it will take ut two silver or currency dollars to one dollar in gold.. Of course, it v uld bankrupt all of the national banks. .oh -might please some people, but it uld be hard on the depositors, who many. And for these reasons the 1 et Democrats will gladly accept the --issipplaa's proposal to them to adopt gold standard platform and quit Will- 'n J. Bryan's windy doctrine. And the ippian is explaining to ne nouth- Democrats that Bryan is in with the ,ttet trusts there are in the world, the -r mines of the western states and ri-.ories, and Is simply acting as their rney for them, and is booming their j- Her mines. The Republican party had better not go sleep with the idea that there will be i trouble to defeat William J. ttryan. ause ignorant men who nave no ughts of their own, and Demo-Pop r wspapers, eay that it is already de '-d by the Democratic party f at Bryan will be the. Democratic nomi- o for president, because the intelHgant I'-rnocrats know that their losing New J rssey. Maryland and Kentucky, and pos i :iy Indiana and New York by their imparting Bryan, was a loss that was r replaced by the Populists and Demo- .ts carrying Nebraska: and you observe it shows good judgment in the dema c -'ues that are proposing to put the I mocratfcr party on a sensible platform 4 regard to finance, and there are a i a' many ignorant Republicans that w :11 take five or ten years for them to "prebend the benefits in trade of the t Ndar.oa doctrine. JOHN BURTON. GALAPAGOS COALING STATION TfirlcSam ns jiatj ms Syo on This -re for a Year. Washington. Dec. 8. Senator Lodge c ified at the .tate department today to talk with Secretary Hay about his Gal- nagoe islands resolution. As to the T is of Ws resolution of inquiry, he said tt alT the information he had as to th r "ortec attempt of the English govern- r nt to secure the islands was derived f -n aewaper sources.

It would not be at all surprising, it Is said here, if the ultimate result of the broaching of tnis subject now were the acquisition of a coaling station on these islands by the United States gov ernment. In fact, the navy department has within the past year been making a quiet investigation into the facilities there existing, with that object in view. Commander Tanner was despatched to the Galapagos islands just after the con elusion of the war with Spain, to make a personal examination of the conditions existing. He found that the Ecuadorean government had some years ago aban doned its penal station on Charles island, leaving behind a large number of do mestic animals in a half wild state, and these flocks had enormously increased. Only one of the, half dozen islands was in habited, namely, Chatham island, and that island had but one inhabitant, in the per son of a Mr. Coboss. He was of Ecua dorean birth but was a naturalized Amer ican citizen. Liondon, Dec. S. So far as can be ascer taineb dy the Associated Press, Great Britain is not negotiating for the pur chase of the Galapagos islands from Ec uador, nor has she any Intention of secur ing the islands. Ofllcial ignorance is pro fessed on the whole matter and there is some astonishment at the action of the United States senate in passing Senator Lodge's resolution requesting President McKinley to Inform the senate regarding Ecuador's proposed sale of the Islands. The Associated Press learns that Ecua dor may be said to have no intention of parting with the islands at any price. Whether or not unofficial steps were taken by Great Britain with the view of their possible purchase is a mere matter of surmise. But It is certain that, accord ing to the highest British officials, these steps never reached the stage of official negotiations. Special cable dispatches from the United States interpreting the senate's action as emphasizing the United States' adherence to the Monroe doctrine have caused no stir in official circles here, as it is believed the international relations between the two countries have been so established since the Venezuelan affair that Monroeism will never again cause a misunderstanding. Britis.H Fraternal Delegates. Detroit, Mich., Dec 9. James Haslam and Alexander Wilkie, fraternal dele gates from the British Trades Union Congress to the American Federation of Labor, arrived today.

The Whole Hog or None, Every political influence wielded by the state of Kansas, iter every financial interest, and all that thoses, have been releg-ated and consigned to Kansas City, Missouri. Supplementing hat city's control of this state's fcjommercial and financial interests, the dominating- of Kan sas railway managements, and the coercing- of our public c-aen into supporting that city's fast mail fraud, a member Jtf the Republican state central committee, only the past iveek, seriously proposed that the political officials of Kan Bas should be assessed to raise a fund to employ a Kansas (City, Missouri, paper as the organ of the Republican party of Kansas. In the striking language of our regretted Grim JC'hieftain: "Great God! What next?" The next thing- noted hy us is 'the meeting- of ithe Democratic central committee fcf Kansas in Kansas City, Missouri, only day before yes terday. The executive committee of the Kansas Republican ttate central committee have lately been in the habit of folding nig-ht meetings in that Missouri town, instead of ft the capital of their own state. But now all pretence of etate pride; loyalty and duty aside, the Democratic execu tive committee meet there in open daylight There remains ij.ut the one hope for this state, the one chance to save to Iherself the enormous aggregate of taxable valuations, of which we are robbing ourselves and transferring- to that Dlissouri town, but one last venture whereby this common hvealth may figure as a factor in the future estimates of Ithe world's commerce and finances, and that is to secure (congressional consent to the annexation of that town to iKansas, and then for our people to remove thither the cap ital of their state. O Is It Really So Dangerous to Eat? There being- nothing to breathe but air; nothing- to hear 'fhut sound, and nothing- to eat but food, what with scientists bnd the doctors humanity will soon have nothing left to do tlmt to die. Hardly a single article of food can be men tioned that it not tabooed by some dietary school or other. ID titer the physician condemns or science forbids till it has c .me to the pass that It is a question whether we shall sub inst on air or strike out on faith. Our hard-working an c stors did not seem to be so put out with their stomachs. They lived and died in ignorance of possessing such a thing ns a vermiform appendix. They ate whatever tasted good )t: them and trusted to luck for results, which were gener ally satisfactory. This pampered age might follow their txample with .beneficial results. Being possessed of the spirit of investigation and much troubled with indigestion, ti man we read of the other day resolved on studying- the Cuthorittes on food and consulting physicians, noting down tmeanwhile in a book all he could leam, tog-ether with the ijdvice secured, and here Is the result: A special objection is urged against each kind of meat. Exception is taken to all flesh and blood; if cooked the al i umen Is rendered indigestible; if raw the germs are in jurious and dangerous. Milk is a disease producer. Butter is filthy under the enteroscope. Cheese is constipating. Eggs cause cystiruria. Vegetables are innutritious and indigestible. Grain foods nre too starchy for the ordinary stomach; if predlgested they are still objectionable, as they make the digestive or gans more and more unable to deal with natural food. Nuts raw are too firm in texture, and cooked are innutri ftlve on account of the InterPenetratlon of the oil. Fruits Pre the one food thai no one used to say aught against, but they, too, are a menace to health. Apples contain too much potash, pears and prunes pre sent healthy intestinal digestion by their laxative effect; lerrles are woody. All northern fruits are unfit to form a I nsiderable portion of one's diet Tropical fruits are picked green and do not ripen naturally enough. Kansas In It Everywhere. A Kansas man is fourth assistant postmaster general. "He appoints all of the fourth class postmasters in the Vnited Stages. Including those of Utah, and makes the rec- mmendations for many others. Glenn Miller, another Kansas man, a nephew of the late lamented Sol., and a praduate of the Kansas State University, is United States marshal for Mormondom. Brigham Roberts, in his defense, declared that the president had appointed fellows out in Vtah to postmastershiPs which fellows were linns with 3iore then one wife, and he named the men. Bristow c mes forward with the statement that the president knew nothing of the fact of the aforesaid Mormons being biga tmists.

Senator Baker and the Coal nines. Senator Lucien Baker of Kansas having telegraphed the ptriklng miners of southeast Kansas that he would do all in his power to effect the release of J. P.

The New York Journal tells of an effort being made by divers in the vicinity of Chios, with the consent of the Turkish govern ment, in search' of treasures -which were sunk there nearly 130 years ago. It was near Chios, in 1770, during- the battle of Chesme, that the Turkish fleet was annihilated and the Russian flagship went to the bottom. Thus far the divers have had great success, and their share of the redeemed treasures will foe remunerative, despite the big portion de manded by the Turkish government. The wreck of the Russian flagship was found at a depth of 180 feet It is known to contain a larg-e amount of gold and silver coins of the 18th century. To date some $100,000 in coins have been recovered. A Turkish warship is anchored near where the divers are ait work, and every sack of money raised is at once handed to the commander of the vessel, who apportions it to the government and the men. Besides the coin many objects of value have been found, including gold and silver crosses and jewels. the state boasts or The President and the Trusts. President McKinley's deliverance upon the subject of trusts will be satisfactory to everybody who believes that the monopolistic combinations of capital should be sup pressed. He refers to what Presidents Harrison and Cleveland had said in messages to congress with respect to the efficacy of state legislation in the suppression of trusts, and declares 'that state legislation has failed to accomplish the purpose for the reason, mainly, that state laws were of such a diverse character. He suggests that steps be taken to secure the adoption by the states of a uniform anti-trust code, and he recommends that congress supplement such state legislation by general enactments which would regu late if not suppress the combinations of capital that proved to be oppressive to the people and in restraint of trade and competition. It now remains for congress to do its duty. The Repub lican majority of that body will, if it has listened to the voice of the -Party as heard in various state conventions, dispose of the trust question in a manner that will prove satisfactory (to the people. The issue has been raised, and it will be forced into next year's campaign unless congress disposes of it. That is one good reason why the president s suggestions should be followed. 4, The O'd Original Abolitionist Dead. The Rev. Samuel May, who died at his home in Leices ter, Mass., on the 24th ult, at the age of S9, was the last surviving associate and assistant of Garrison, Phillips and ithe other leaders of the days when abolitionists were neither numerous nor uni versally respected. He was graduated at Harvard in the class of 1829, and among his classmates were Channing, Dr. Holmes and James Freemen Clarke, rlis own humanitarian impulses, together v. ith the influence of the example of his cousin, ithe Rev. Samuel Joseph May, drew him from his pulpit to engage in the anti-slavery agitation, and as gen eral acnr of the Massachusetts Anti-Slaver society his executive ability shown in directing lecturers in 'the field, arranging meetings, and raising- funds was perhaps not less useful in Promoting the cause than the work of some others who were more prominently before the public. He spoke not infrequently from the platform, but his services were especially valuable in business management. It was due to his efforts thalt a fund for Mr. Garrison's declining years was raised after 'the close of the war. In the early years of the anti-slavery movement Mr. May's zeal deprived him of the friendship of some of his parishioners and towns men, but the time came when they were able to measure justly his patriotism and his devotion to high ideals, and at his death he'-was the first and most revered citizen of the town in which the greater part of his life had been spent. The war against the wicked deceit in Santa Claus has died out. Anyhow every child sooner or later figures it out that his errand into the back yard is connected with the en trance of the Christmas tree into the house. In Illinois last week a stone ax weighing- twenty-six pounds was unearthed.

The anti-polygamy crowd in Utah is in the minority, but it is loaded with calcium lights and dynamite, and its fireworks are being discharged in the direction of Mr. Roberts. Small as the population of the Transvaal is, England is learning that it is large enough to supply an occupant for the shadow of every rock and tree In the country.

Elgin is a beau tiful town, but its street car service is not good, and Helen walked through the village up to the pleasant park with which the state 'has surrounded the asy lum for the insane. It is a walk of con siderable length from the gate of the grounds to the building, and Helen was to encounter a melancholy sight. As she went along the serpentine path, a pro cession came toward her. There must have been a hundred men in it and they moved slowly and most of them walked with bowed heads. Their feet appeared to press the earth heavily. At first Helen thought It must be a funeral procession, but a moment later she perceived that it was something more distressing. It was the walk of those who had survived their own death. In other words, it was a body of insane patients, exercising the bod'es that held their perished minds. Helen shrank aside and stood fascinated while they passed her. Some of them looked at her curiously, or with lack luster gae, or wistfully. A sudden appreciation of her own youth and health and sanity came over her, and made her all the more pitiful toward these unfortunates. The procession had passed, and she was about resuming her way to the hospital, when one of the men quitted the ranks and walked hurriedly around. The at tendants had not noticed his desertion, and his steps on the sward made no sound. He came with a rapid, gliding step toward Helen, showing his teeth In a broad smile. Helen decided that how ever impertinent his intentions might be at least he was In good humor. This was consoling, but it did not keep her hands from turning cold with nervou3 dread. As he approached he lifted his hat with a courtly air. It was evident that the poor wretch had once been a gentleman, but even the most gentlemanly of luna tics was not a companion to choose, and Helen moved behind a low lilac bush. She felt that she was white and that her eye3 were wide-stretched, but she tried mot to show her alarm. Confidence, she had always heard, was needed in dealing with the insane. The man moved more cau tiously and fixed an. undeviatlng gaze upon Helen. "Madam.' said the man in a peculiar'y quiet voice, "it Is a pleasant morning." Something in the words suggested a scene In "Hamlet" to Helen, and she be thought herself of an experiment. She would soon determine whether or not the man had a gleam of reason. "Is it?" she asked, turning her eyes to the sky. "Why, indeed, I thought It was raininr'" The man had a look in his face akin to pity. "Perhaps you are right." he re plied gently. "It may be raining. It is not always possible for me to tell except when I see people carrying their umbrel las." "Sensory nerves quite obtuse," thought Helen. "I have heard that It is common with degenerates." The man moved a little nearer, and Helen ventured to go still further around the lilac bush. He stopped still, and they faced each other "over the low shrubbery. "What an agree able looking creature he was with his soft brown eyes, his long, delicate face, and his high brow. He looked as if he might have been Intended for a poet. Probably he had been, but had gone one step further. Helen had not read L.om broso for nothing. "Do you lever write poetry?" she ask ed with genuine curiosity. The man blushed. Helen had not dreamed that a- lunatic would blush. "When I find a fitting subject," he con fessed. "A! And what should you consider a fitting subject?" "Why you!" The words came 'explo sively. They did not seem to be meant for a compliment The man spoke pa thetically. It seemed as if there were tears In his eyes. Helen answered as if he were a child: "Do I seem so sad to you?" she asked. "Does it make the tears come in your eyes to look at me, poor man?" "Indeed, it does," he replied, quite sim ply. "I think you are the saddest thing I ever saw." "I wouldn't die for anything," she ex plained. "I like to live. I find plenty of things to laugh at." And to convince his wandering: wits that this was the truth she broke into a merry laugh, which astonished the melancholy spirit of the slace. "If I give you my hand." said the man kindly, "will you not walk -back with me to the house?" To take his hand, to let him get a hold upon her! It was ghastly. He moved to ward here. There seemed nothing for it but to run, and run she did, speeding over the soft lawn with a rapidity that astonished herself. She could hear him calling to her, but she sped on, till, final ly, a hysterical impulse, born of her fright and fatigue, took hold of her. She began to laugh again, and the musical, half-weeping laughter floated behind her as she fled. Then, breathless, she stum bled in a ground mole's tunnel and fell flat. She burled her face in the grass and waited, her heart paining with the stress of its work. A second later two arms were about her and she was lifted to her feet. She faced the lunatic. They were of a height, and they stood looking at each other both of them pale and trembling, his arm still supporting her. "Poor child," he murmured, "how sor ry I am that I frightened you. Perhaps I ought not to have run after you. But I was afraid you would leave the grounds and come to some harm." She would have liked to have 'explained to him that one need not come to harm outside of their grounds, but perhaps it was as well that he thought otherwise. She would tell him the truth about her self. Perhaps he would understand. Ah, what a pity that such an engaging face should hide a ruined mind! "You must try to understand." she said, slowly, "that I do not live here In th In the hospital I am here for the first time. I have not yet been up to the the building, you know. I came to visit a relative who Is here. It seems a pleas ant place. Have you bpen here long?" "My dear voung ladv!" cried he. "I also "am a visitor. I alo came to visit an acquaintance, with whom I was walk ing a moment since. I approached you to ask if you knew when tho next train went to town, but when I addressed you I judced from your reply that you were one of the ininatp." Helen sank gently down on th grass. "I think I must rest a moment." wfd she. "I I am much surprise!!" Her tone Indicated something more than Msrprle. It confessed tn a sreat relief. She paid her visit to the asylum and she and Vic tor Law. her lunatic, went back on the same train toother. To both of them the afternoon seemed the most Interesting of their live?.

Sbae Clerk Bag your pardon, raad- ain box it Is a umafeer ftve s-:e o-j w .-1 btsuoe f a answer tfere 1 In of the sizt of your hat: Bad Fame of Yankee Ships, Morgan Robertson, the writer of sea tales, in. a letter recently published, vouching- for the correctness of some of the pictures presented In a story of ex perience at sea, made this declaration: "If the laws now on our statute-book were enforced a large majority of Ameri can captains and mates would be sent to the penitentiary, and not a few to the gallows or electric chair; If required to pais an examination in their profession, such as Engiand requires of second mates, few could obtain a certificate, and no master of a deep-water American ship would dare go to sea with a full crew of American sailors." This seemed a 'very strong statement but inquiries made in New York by a newspaper lead to the conclusion that the reputation of American ships among sail ors of all nationalities is so bad that men cannot be found to ship willingly with anxAmerican captain at the ordi nary rate of wages. "Why?" said a sailor of thirty years' record. "Because there's no law for'ard It's all aft." It is established in sailors minds that the officers have the law in their own hands; that, indeed, there is no protection for a man against them. Consequently, it is a difficult thing to man an American ship well; and It is impossible, it Is said, to do It with able-bodied Americans. If It were not for the boarding-masters, who, so strong Is their position under the law, have, at all times, many men In their power, American ships could not be manned at all if the conditions remained normal. The American ships lnvaribly leave port, a retired mate said, with "scrub crews." A "scrub" crew is a crew of incompetent men in which every man "counts one," whether he has ever been to sea before or not. Sometimes the captains themselves have nvcr before been to sea; they have to take a "nurse" (thoroughly competent mate) along to navigate the vessel. The boarding house masters and crimps can supply a "scrub" crew at almost any time; it is composed of men "who have to go to sea quick" and of "young square-heads." as the green German and Dutch sailors stranded in this city are called. There seems always to be a supply of "young square-heads," who come over in vessels of their native land and desert upon ar rival. A crew of such has this advant age, it was pointed out: The men can bo "called out of their names" and beaten about the deck without much complain ing. But even though the boarding master Is hand-and-glove with him, the American captain always has a hard time to fill out his complement, and sometimes men have to be shang-haled aboard. Instances of flagrant cruelty on Ameri can ships in recent years are as follows: On Iarch 21, 1S97, the T. F. Oakes ar rived from Hong Kong with her whole crew sick of the scurvy. Six men had died of the disease on the voyage. Pro visions had run short; but the captain would not put into any port (several were near his route) to get more. He was acquitted of the charge of withho'd ing nourishment, because, "malice, ha tred, or revenge" could not be proven, as the law required. Captain De Winter of the M. P. Grace, was arrested in San Francisco in 1S96, chasged with beating a seaman in the face with a pistol while the latter was in irons: he was convicted, recommended to mercy, and fined $100. In 1SD6, one Orr, mate of the John McDon ald, was charged with crippling two sea men for life; he was convicted and sent to prison for forty days. In 1S95 the first mate of the Benjamin Sewnll was con victed of cruelty resulting in the suicide of the man whom he abused. A sailor who fcas a suit for damages now pend ing, charges a mate with having struck him In the face again and again when his (the sailor's) hands were frozen. "We were off Cape Sable in a north west gale, in February last." said this sailor. ''The boarding-master had taken all my advance money when he put jme aboard, but I don't know whether I owed it to him or not; so.I had no mlts or sea-boots. The captain wouldn't give me anything out of the slop-chest, though tho law requires him to. Well, In the gale, what with working at the pumps (the ship was unseaworthy), and going aloft, I got my feet and hands frozen. When my watch was off I went in the forecastle. I couldn't feel my feet or hands at all. The mate comes In and says, AlI-hands on deck.' I says, 'My hands nre frozen. Then he came at mc and pounded me In the face till I fell down. He went out, but came back and hit me again. He had some ono carry me down from the deck, though, after I went up, for I couldn't get down my self. Tou can see I wasn't soldiering; look at my hands!" The ends of the fin gers on both hands were missing. They dad been scraped off on the ropes, up aloft, without the sailor knowing It. Another sailor said: "A couple of years ago, when we were three months out on a. voyage of five months to China, the mate got picking on a shipmate of mine. Finally he said he'd do him up. One day, when the man's trick at the wheel was done, and he was walking down the main deck It was right at the carpenter shop, I remember the mate struck him from behind. Down went the man In tho scupper. There hadn't been a word spo ken. The mate jumped on him, took a belaying pin oft the rail, and beat him over the head. When the man came to ard got to the forecastle, his face was a sight to see; It was like raw beef. The man refused duty when he was or dered out half an hour later: then the mate reported him to the captain and had him put in irons, and In Irons he lay for three mortal weeks. That story never came out: but there was more than one aboard that thought the mate would be up for manslaughter. He would have taM, though, that my shipmate had mu tinied." Tho sailors who loaf about South street New York, say that there is noth kag like an "old Hme-julcer" to sail on, for good treatment and comfort. A !imc juleer" Is a British ship: she sees by that name all over the world because, lon ago. the British captains would give noth ing but JUne-Julce for the scurvy. Tbomaa Roberts of New York, scent for the Sea man's Union, who has been a sailor, off and on, ior thirty years. ays: "Sailors like the Britten ships so well that tots of them so to Ea$iaad to ship on them.

Woes of a Mormon Wife, Regarding the state of mind of the wo man who shares a polygamous husband. Reverend G. H. Hepworth of New York who has been in Utah investigating MOr monism says: "There Is not a woman on the face of the earth whom I pity as I do a plural wife. I mean, of course, a woman who submits to the indignity of the relation j frflm rpliir!iMi rrln-ln hf has to tear herself all to pieces before she can yield to It Being a woman, she craves all the love her husband can' give, but it is denied her by the Lord. She accepts her fate as she would any other affHctioa with what measure of resignation she can command, gives her affection to her children, educates them as host she may, Elghs her way through life, aad eagerly looks forward for some reward la an other world which shall sufficiently re paj her for her awful sacrifice. I have had several interviews with cultivated Mormon plurals, and I did not leave one of them without feeling that a woman can do anything, however horrible It may be, at the call of what she deems her duti-. i "When chatting with an observing wo man of the Mormon faith I' asked: 'Can several wives be happy under the same rcof?" 'I have known of cases, she answer ed. 'I was intimate In the family of Brigham Young when I was In my teens, and a happier family I never saw. There was never any bickering there. But. then, he was a remarkable man, and any woman would be glad to own a tenth part of him.' 4Yes; but as a general thing?' I sug gested. "She threw up her hands. "Well, you have perhaps noticed that the different wives live in different houses. Each has an establishment of her own. It works better in that way. It Is a law of na ture that women don't like to share their husbands (With others, but if they must do it they don't want to have the mat ter brought to their attention, as would be the case if all the wives woro under the same roof. "A very significant and very pathetic story was told me the other day, from which you can draw your own Infer ence concerning the system. A child of nine years was greatly puzzled by tho relations between her father and mother, and asked the mother to explain It, but in some way the question was evaded. Not satisfied she sought information else where, but still found evasion. When la ter on she was at play with a Gentile schoolmate she burst into tears and cried out: I don't know why It is, but I haven't any really real papa, as you have. My papa only visits mamma once In a while, and that's all I ever see of him." As an illustration of family life among the Mormons this true Incident serves Its sad purpose. "In Mormon territory the woman who is the first wife Is comparatively happy, but a black cloud hangs over her, never theless. Another woman may at any time Intrude and gain the affection of her hus band. "If the second is more attractive than the first, then the first suffers neglect. When the number gets to be six or seven, with an equal number of establishments to maintain there Is either domestic de spair tor pandemonium, and a painful ri valry as to which can capture the man and "obtain from him the largest gifts. As to home life, well, there can be no home life for a man who has six fami lies. He flits from ono to the othor and leaves jealousy and bitterness In all. "The level on which theso things ex ist Is Fhown by the remark of a young girl the other day. Pointing to the resi dence of a plural wife who seemed to be comfortably provided for, she said: 'I would rather be the third wife of that man and have a horse nnd carriage than tho only wife of a poor man who would make me do tho housework.' "That Is the commercial vlow of mar riage, but where Is the glory of it the sanctity of It, the happiness of It?" Miss Adah Roberts, daughter of the Mormon congressman by Mrs. Roberts No. 1, Is already in Washington, where she expects to fpend tho winter as her father's secretary. She says: "The women of Utah aro just like the women of any other place, which means, paradoxically, they nre unlike any other women and unlike each other. Did you ever find two women alike? Some of our women are active and ambitious and a: great power among- us. and some are careless and Indolent and they are drones. Some are society women, others are home .women; some frivolous, others studious: some2iothers and some old maids; some tall and some short; really, I don't see that there Is any difference Southern Kansas Business Men Figuratively speaking, every advertiser displays his wares in his favorite news paper more thoroughly and more effect ively than he can display them In the windows of his store.
