10 CENTS A WEEK, MAY STEP OUT. Sensational Report in Circula tion at Omaha Today. Union Pacific Receivers Deter mined to Resign. ANGRY AT CALDWELL For Ilia Severe Criticism of Their Recent Acts. Continuation of the Investiga tion of Judsre Jenkins. Omaha, .Neb.. April 10. The sensation JL'aioa Pacific affairs is a report that Receivers Anderson, Coudert and Daane will resign in consequence of Judge Caldwell's criticism, and possibly also of Judge Dundy's, ojelay in fixing their sal aries until he 'should see what they earned. Another thing which causes uneasi ness is the reorganization scheme. None of the ten different interests has con ceded anything1, it is stated. The officials are beginning to think an agreement will soon be effected between the Union Pacific and Gulf roads. -Mr. McConnell has gone to the annual Gulf election to look out for the Union Pacific interests. I.-niel at Now York. New York, April 10. At the offices of the Union Pacific railroad receivers in in this city, it is stated that there is no foundation in fact for the report emanat ing from Omaha to the effect that the re ceivers have decided to resign their offices in consequence of the strictures passed upon them by Judge Caldwell touching the labor question. THE ,1 ENKIN'S INVESTIGATION'. Chief AVilkln.on Kxplaln. How Railroad btrikss are Ordered. Milwaukee, April 10. The Jenkins invention did Lot attract much 'of a crowd today. One or two attorneys and a few labor men came and got seats eariy, but except for the newspaper men, the room was deserted up to the opening of the session. Chief Wilkinson? of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was the first wit ness, lie related facts concerning the conference of the Northern Pacific at the time of the threatened strike. The men had thought they could not leave the employ of the railway. After a great deal of discussion as to the right of the chiefs to consult with the men. he and his associates came to the conclusion that thoy could not advise the men to leave the employ of the re ceivers but could advise them to remain. To do otherwise would be in contempt of court. In reply to an inquiry by Chairman Boutner as to how strikes are ordered, Mr. Wilkinson said aggrieved trainmen had to make written complaints to their lodges and these complaints are referred in turn to the local and general grievance committees. The matter finally reached him, if it was not adjusted. It requires a two-thirds vote of the members and the unanimous consent of the committee to cause a strike. How strikes Take Place. AH he can do is to consent to a strike, but a strike canaot be ordered without his consent. No steps toward a strike had J.'en taken by the Northern Pacific men.' Uuder cross-examination by Con gressman Stone, Wilkinson said a strike ordinarily required a month's time to start. lie denied that he had any power to order a strike without action by the employes. There are about 350,000 train men in the United States, and about 50 per cent belong to the order, lie is not in the employ of any road, and was not affected by the order, only through his official position. Iteplying to questions as to whether there had been any violence in the strikes he ordered, Mr. Wilkinson said there had been no violence, and that violence does not always accompany strikes. A con ference with the receivers had been ar ranged for when the order was made. During a cross-examination by Mr. Cur tis, Chief Wilkinson said a strike had been ordered January 1, and had the order been obeyed it would have re sulted in stopping the traffic of the road, and that the stoppage would have lasted as long as the men held out. Ho thought he had a legal right to corfer with the employes of the Northern Pacific to order a strike, but the road being in the hands of receivers affected his right to some extent. He realized if he came in contact with the court he should be liable to imprisonment. Ii'jurirtloti rcnlrH Hi. K jfh s. Mr. Wilkinson thought the injunction had denied all his rights. lie was famil iar with the Northern Pacific road and knew the tying up of the road would re sult in public hardships at certain points. He would not admit that he had ever sanctioned an illegal strike and that there could be an "illegal strike when regularly ordered. He exhibited the rules of the order which provide for the expulsion of those who take part in a strike not regu'arly ordered. Mr. Curtis asked": "Is it proper to order a strike for Mi purpose of coercing a court opening a road?" "Witness said he did not know whether the men could quit in the face of an in junction or not. When this examination had been con cluded, Mr. WilktiSson said he desired to make a statement. He said the men had thought if the court could reduce their wages 10 per cent, and compel them to work, it could reduce their wages 50 per cent and there would be no end to it. He said he did not think the court had any more right than a company had to compel the men to work, whether it had power or not. Little Better Than Serf. In answer to a question by Mr. Terryj Wilkinson said the men considered the labor organization of very great import ance; that without them, they would be little better than serfs; that the organi zizations had improved the condition of the men at least 00 per cent, and that NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL IP, tl ay we:e of great benefit to the com pany as weir as tb '-.:en. He said the enforcement of the Jenkins order would tend to destroy the unions and he thought the receivers of the road were bent upon destroying the useful ness of the organizations for the time being at least Mr. Wilson, chief of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid and Benefit association, was next placed on the stand and questioned much as Mr. Wilkinson had been. His testimony was somewhat similar. Frank Arnold, secretary cf the firemen, was called. He admitted that violence usually accompanied strikes, but denied that it was done by union men. .Mr. Arnold said an engine could be disabled in many ways by putting sand in r.e oil cups, or a piece of soap in the boiiur, or a nut in the guide rod. A NEW SILVER BILL. Mr. JJteyer's )lenrt Constructed to Meet the President's Objections. Washington, April 10. The coinage and bond bill recently introduced by Representative Meyer (N. J.) is bringing out much discussiou between the silver and anti-silver elements of the house. Mr. Meyer was opposed to Mr. Bland throughout the seigniorage bill struggle and voted against it. For this reason his proposition to coin the seigniorage under certain conditions is regarded as an overture from tho anti-silver men to Mr. Bland's followers. Mr. Meyer says that his bill was sug gested by that clause of the president's veto message reading as follows: "I am not insensible to the arguments in favor of coining the bullion seignior age now in the treasury, and I believe it could be done safely and with advantage if the secretary of the treasury had the power to issue bonds at a low rate of in terest under authority in substitution of that now existing and better suited to the protection of the government" Mr. Meyer follows closely the presi dent's suggestion in the foregoing clause. It provides for the coinage of the seign iorage and gives the secretary of the treasury power to issue 3 per cent bonds of small denominations, in substitution for the old bonds. OUR SILVER IX MEXICO. Difference of Opinion a to Coining Amer ican Silver in Mexican S'inlit. City of Mexico. April 10. There is a I very decided difference of opinion in Me.iicu on me question 0,1 oeoator v oi cott's proposition to coin American silver in Mexican mints. The international mortgage bank of this city and New York is among the most earnest commer cial advocates of the plan, and has the support of several of the leading daily papers of the capital in a plan conductive to the general financial and industrial good of Mexico. Others oppose the proposition on the ground that the coinage of American bilver in Mexican dies and under the patrons sre of this government for ship ment abroad as Mexican dollars will mean the crowding out of the markets of the world just that amount of the Mexi can products. No official expressiou of opinion on the subject has been made by the Mexican cabinet, although the matter is being considered. JOE SMITH ON THE STAND. Say Soma One Told Him Breidenthal Bad lie n Approached by King. Kansas City, April 10. The prosecu tion in the Smith trial for criminal libel against Judge S. S. King is being held down to that portion of the alleged libel ous letter written by Smith, which re flects upon the integrity of Judge King, the only plaintiff in the suit, although the letter implicates a great many others. W itnesses for the plaintiff have stated that it was proposed at one time to raise a fund to help defray the campaign ex penses of Breidenthal and others, but nothing improper was suggested in con nection with it and the money was not raised because the parties got along without it. The defendant, Joseph A. Smith, testi fied today that W. T. Hopkins,.a coal merchant of Kansas C.ty, va3 the one that told him Breidenthal had been ap proached by King in the manner de scribed in his letter. Mr. Hopkins denied this when called to the stand, and swore all he knew about it was what Smith told him. THEY TOOK MUCH According to the Allegation of A. M. Floren. A. M. Floren who live3 east of the city today had Lon" Wiggin and Hattie Wiggin, his wile, arrested on the charge of buglary and grand larceny. Floren says Mr. aud Mrs. Wiggin broke into his house and carried off two feather beds, two chairs, three lamps, a tool chest, set of harness, a wagon, one razor, and other things, worth $05.15. Wiggin and his wife were released on $500 bond which was furnished by Wig gin's father-in-laiv, Z. S. Freelund. "WORLD'S FAIR BUILDINGS. The Iron Work to Re Used i:y the Clil caffo.

Six Men Managre to Make a Martial Noise. One Town Receives the Marchers With Fire Works. Uniostows, Pal, April 10. Coxey's army is compelled to- camp here until Wednesday before starting on its moun tain trip on account of the storm last night, which was a hard one, testing the endurance of soldiers to the extreme. Camp Abraham Lincoln, pitched here on Mountain View Park, will be broken up tomorrow and the start made for the mountains, the snow covered crests of which can be seen from here. The next stop will be at Camp Dalzell. The army of the Commonweal now has a brass band of its own. It was or ganized last evening and is composed of six pieces and has for a bass drummer "Billy" Finch of Homestead. The only tune the Ijand can play that anybody can identify is "Marchintr Through Georgia." All along the route yesterday and to day the army was cheered, which had a tendency to rouse their courage and make them feel that they were heroes, tight ing the cause of humanity. At Elizabeth the army got one of the warmest ieception3 on the route. The entire command was marched to a va cant lot where a large copper camp ket tle was filled as were half dozen wash boilers with coffee. There were piles of bread and heaps of sausage. The men are now daily instructed in military tactics by the Unknown.' In the maneuvering of his men the Un known does not use the command laid down in the regulation drill book of the militia. In execution all the movements comply with Upton, but the command of of execution is not the same, and of course it was invented by the Unkuowu for the commonweal. After he had finished drilling the troops this morning the Unknown made them an address on practical co-operation. He said as they were now organ ized they could accomplish anythiug. They could g'o into the wilderness aud rear temples and overcome any aud all. obstacles. At the end of his speech the Unknown was loudl- cheered by his army of commonwealers. The whole band broke forth in unison: "We will follow you to helL if you will lead us." It was another instance of the power the Unknown undoubtedly possesses over his followers. George Leitch, of Home stead, is a Highland piper and he joined the army here, pipes and all. He was assigned to head commune "E." He will play the pipe down Pennsylvania avenue at the head of his commune. A Ho meat it ad Fteerui.' William Foy, of Homestead, who was shot through the lungs on tne morning of July 6, 1892, by the Pinkertons, joined here and will go through to Washington. A novelty was introduced into the reception of the army at Monongahela in the shape of fireworks as the army did not reach the place until dusk. The Commonwealers were met by the G. A. K. band and the Monongahela drum corps. When the procession reached the business part of town a display of rockets and roman candles rent the air accompanied by the cheers of several thousand people. Red lire was burned and by its light the people got a good look at their guests. The opera house was too small to hold the crowd, so Coxey and Browne spoke from balcony of Byers hall. At West Elizabeth Coxey spoke to 500 people from the balcony in front of the Walton hotel. STILL AT SAX BERNARDINO. The Southern California Industrials Can't Get Away. San Bernardino, Cal., April 10. The industrial army is still in camp in this city and there is no present prospects of their departure in the near future. Both the railroad companies demand compensation for their transportation to the Missouri river. Sheriff Booth has letters from both companies. The Santa Fe insists on the regular fare and is tak ing steps to guard their rolling stock from seizure in case an attempt is made to pass over their line without the pay ment of fare. Letters from the Southern Pacific offic ials say they demand some compensation. The army, has offered the latter road $150 for transportation to' Deming and Super ntendent Muir has taken this offer under advisement. THE SITUATION AT OOD(;S. Gov. West Gives the Southern Pacific His I'ltiinatuni. Salt Lake Citv, April 10. A dispatch from Ogdeu say3: "Gov. West has given his ultimatum to the Southern Pacific ra Iroad company. The militia still sur rounds the industrial camp and the rail road does not appear to be anxious to make a move. The men are peaceable so far. They say they will go east over the Union Pacific this evening. No transportation has been arranged fo r and it is not known what methods the in dustrials will use. The Southern Pacific road has refused to obey the order of the court. Governor West has given the company one hour to comply; otherwise he will forcibly take possession of cars, load the men into them and take them out of the territory. Later. The Western Industrial army will be taken back out of the territory by the Southern Pacific road, the only question to be settled being whether the government or the railroad company shall operate the train. There is much sickness and suf fering aniong the men. One died last night. The Mayor has secured a carload of provisions for the men on their return trip RAPIDLT DISINTEGRATING. Prye's Crowd Reduced to Three Hou 'dred When It H to Walk. St. .Louis, Mo., April 10. A special to the Republic from Highland, 111., says: General Frye's industrial army reached this place at 3 p. in., walking on the rail road track. They camped two miles east of this city. The city has sent a wagon load of provisions to their camp. General Frye addressed the citizens on the square tonight. The army numbers about 300, some having dropped off. COXKY'S BILL KILLED. It Reported Back Adversely by Senator Kyle Today. Washington, April 10. The bill intro duced some time ago by Senator Peffer for the improvement of public roads (a bill in the direction of the Coxey movement and which was referred to the committee on education and labor) was reported back adversely by Senator Kyle. IT WAS A HOCH MEETING. Colored Men of Topeka Show Their Lean ing) Strongly. The colored voters of the east precinct of the Fifth ward had a political jubilee at Brown's chapel, and selected their delegate to the coming Republican state convention. There were 117 colored voters pres ent, aud several white ward workers, but none but the colored men were allowed to vote. When the meeting was called to order there was a spirited contest over the elec tion of a -chairman, and Charles Smith, who is an out and out Hoch man, was elected" chairman over George Turner, who was said to favor the nomination of Major Morrill. t Nick Childs, one of the recognized guardians of the colored voters of the Fifth ward, was a ruling spirit in the meeting and several times in directing his forces he mounted the pulpit and flourished his hands over the desk of the chairman, which called the attention of the visitors to a motto just above Nick's head which read: "Christ is Risen." When it came to a selection of a dele gate to the state convention, Dennis Hope and Albert Barton wre nominated. Hope represented the Hoch element of the ward, and Barton was backed by the Morrill men. That Hoch is the favorite candidate for governor in the east pre cinct of the Fifth ward, was shown by the electipn of Dennis Hope, who re ceived 70 votes while Barton received only 47. HOLLIDAY WILL TAKE IT. The Post In Venezuela Which Hi Resigned Some Vears A jro. A telegram from, Washington an nounces the selection of Charles K. Hol liday of Topeka to be secretary of the legation at Venezuela. Mr. Holliday. nto occupied that posi tion under the first 'administration of Mr. Cleveland, and who is visiting at the residence of his father, Col. C K. Holliday, on East Sixth street, was first informed of his appointment this after noon by a State Journal reporter. In speaking of the appointment, he said: "Yes I was a candidate for an ap pointment of this kind. When I last saw President Cleveland, which was on last Thursday, I told him I would accept any position he had to offer me in the consular or diplomatic service. He spoke of my former relations with the diplomatic service at Venezuela and said that he would attend to the matter. I had supposed he would give me a place in the consular service, seeing that I was in the diplomatic ser vice before, but of course it is all right as I told Mr. Cleveland I wojld take any place he had to offer. "I only stayed at Venezuela about four weeks when I was there before, as Mrs. Holliday, who was with me did not like the country," and in fact she was sick. She had a touch of the Spanish fever and was sick for several months after we came home. "I will return to Washington in about two weeks, and will be employed three or four months yet on the bureau of awards, after which I will go to my field in the diplomatic service where Mr. Cleveland has assigned me." BRENTWOOD IN COURT. Another of the Additions to Topeka Leav ing Naught but Lawsuits In Court. M. A. Pond and Beile M. Pond of To peka petitioned in the federal court to day for $10,000 damages from S. A. Feltzer of Alabama.

AFTER THEIR SCALPS Members of the Police Whose Jobs Are in Danger. Tonight's Police Board Meeting to Tell the Tale. STEELE AND CAPIION Scheduled For Removal By Those Near the Throne. Tramps and Nabobs Alone Have Friends It Seems. Police Sergeant Henry Steele and Patrolman O. M. Capron are marked men in the eyes of oue who stands near the Populist throne Mr. G. C. Clemens. At the meeting of the board of police commissioners this evening they will elect a new force of policemen as the term of office of every patrolman and officer on the force expires at this time. .Mr. Clemens, who has for years been known as the friend and counselor of the poor and down trodden who are the victims of the police, wants these two officers removed in the interest of true reform. Patrolman Capron committed the un pardonable sin when he shot the tramp Frank Brogan, although the police com missioners have, so far, declined to look at the offence in that light.- The gene ral public also looks at Capron's offence with no little severity. The commissioners have retained Of ficer Capron, but by a very slender thread. His retention at all does not satisfy Mr. Clemens, and he has appealed to a higher court, and Governor Lewell ing has asked the commissioners to send him a detailed report of their investiga tion in the Capron tramp shooting case. Officer Capron was given a ten days lay off for cursing Gore Stuck in a North Topeka restaurant because Gore Stuck criticised the officer's actions in shooting Brogan. As soon as the ten days expired he was reinstated and now wears a star and walks a beat like any ordinary inoffen sive policeman. Mr. Clemens thinks to night would be a good time for the com missioners to dispense with Capron's services. Police Sergeant Henry Steele, who has generally been considered among the best, if not the most efficient, officer on the force and who is the only -man, taw on the force, who was appointed. at the time the metropolitan police de i partment was organized, has too much of i a record as a "tramp catcher" to suit Mr. Clemens. Steele has a record of having arrested more tramps and raided mora box cars than any officer in Topeka, and this is the main cause of Mr. Clemens' warfare upon him. In reciting the record of Sergeant Steele Mr. Clemens favorite charge against him is that that officer arrested deserters from the United States army from Fort Riley simply for the few dol lars reward paid for their detention by the government. According to Mr. Clemens' idea of things, it would be more proper for the policeman to have given the deserters a quarter to get a square meal and then direct them how to keep out of the way of Uncle Sam's detectives who' are hired to catch them. Mr. Clemens appeared in police court this morning as the attorney for Goorge Seiber, Frank Collins and Isaac Moore, three young men who were arrested on Kansas avenue a few nights ago by Ser geant Steele on the charge of drunken ness and resisting an officer. Mr. Clemens paid particular attention to the fact that Steele flourished his club, and although this case is not yet decided, Mr. Clemens argues that it shows very plainly why Sergeant Steele's services should be dispensed with by the reform administration. One of the members of the police board, it is said, is pledged to Steele's removal. Since it was only a few months ago that Policeman Wiley was discharged from the forte for arresting a lot of high up railroad officials aud now that the interest of the tramps are being so ably looked after the common people in the middle walks of life must watch out as they are the only people whom the police can arrest wit hout being called to account by the powers that be. MAIE A HARD FIGHT To Prove That Sergeant Steele Had Been Irinkiiig. An innovation in police circles was the case of the city against Geo. Sieber.Frank Collins and Isaac Morrow charged with being drunk and the latter two with resisting an officer. The charge of resisting an officer was continued to to morrow. The cases are being fought bitterly by the defendants. G. C Clemens appears for them. They were arrested last Friday evening as previously stated in the Journal by Sergeant Steele at the corner of Seventh and Kansas avenue.- Clemens attempted to press the case against Steele by proving that he himself was drunk. "You took the bottle of whis ky from these parties, didn't you, Mr. Steele?" he asked. "I did," replied Steele. "What did you do with it?" "I gave it to one of their party." "You are sure you didn't drink it?" Yea sir." Mr. Clemens continued Steele's cross examination for nearly an hour in an ef fort to prove his deviation from the line of duty and when he got through Police Judge Ensminger said he had to attend the United States court and the case was adjourned to next Saturday morning. After Night Jailer Pickens and Officer Capron had testified that Sieber was drunk. Sieber was formerly a circus man and he has a restaurant between Seventh and Eight on Kansas avenue. The crowd Lad been drinking beer in a club room. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. IS BRECKINRIDGE A LIAR? Attorney Carlisle Score the "Most hrls- tlanSiatstmxn" Katlier Severely. Washington, April 10. Thero wm something on foot iu the circuit court tu day of which the spectators did not re ceive the benefit. Judge Bradley held a letter in his hand when the court met, in which he seemed deeply interested, lie called up to his desk, three of the coun sel, Messrs.' Carlisle, Wilson and Butter worth, exhibited the letter to them and the four put their heads together over the document for ten minutes. Then one. of the jurors was called up and the con sultation was prolonged for ten minutes before Mr. Carlisle resumed hi3 argu ment. It is thought that the cause of the con ference was one of the anonymous let ters which have poured in by the bushel on the court officials and every person Interested in the trial. The judge re ceives dozens of them every day making all sorts of suggestions. Attorney Carlisle took up his review of the testimony where he had dropped it last night. In speaking of Breckin ridge's denial of the engagement aud promise of marriage, Mr. Carlisle said: "That defense stands wholly and solely upon his unsupported word. I ask you to judge of him only by what he has told you here on this stand, a standard by which every witness can be judged with out complaint. A father of a family with eight children, a devoted wife, ho tells you he lived for nine years iu calm deliberate illicit relations with this woman, not giving away with sudden passion, not led by a misguided love, but that guilty desire and .not love was the bond between them. During these years he was posing before the world as a Christian statesman, a man high in the councils of the Presbyterian church, giving counsel to saints and sinners while his life was a lie. He asks yon to believe him now on the ground that during these half dozen interviews with M:a Blackburn, a woman high in tho standing of her state, who must havu won the admiration of every mothers' son in this box, he told her and carried on a complicated lie." The exigency now pressing the colo nel was greater, far greater, ir. Car lisle said, than any .which had hung over him before, the inducement for him to lie was greater thau ever, yet he asked the jury to believe his uncorroborated word now on the supposition that he had always lied before when he made state ments controverting his present position.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 10. 1894. AllARCHYJT ENID. U. S. Land Commissioner Taken from His Home, And Threatened With Death by a Mob. THE LAW IS DEFIED. Fears That Jude Burford Will Be Assassinated. Exid, Ok., April 10. There is a most deplorable condition, of affairs in this town. Friday United States Land Commissioner Blair and others held a quiet meeting to discuss a way to bring- about a consolidation of the two Enids. Saturday night his home was surrounded by a large mob of men, his house broken open and the land commissioner taken out and threat ened with instant death if he did not reveal the names of the men who at tended the meeting1. Although an old man, Mr. Blair defied the mob and appealed to Federal Judge Bur ford for protection. Judge Burford was evidently aroused over the outlawry that has been run ning riot here of late and in the sternest language he commanded the mob to disperse and turn Blair loose, and if the civil authorities of Enid and O county were not able to pre serve peace and afford citizens pro tection from lawless mobs he would call the federal troops at Fort Beno to his assistance and would arrest and prosecute every man who was en-g-ag-ed in such reprehensible work. The constitution guaranteed every man the right of aation and opinion, and he ordered the mob to immedi ately disperse and permit Mr. Blair to return to his home or they would surfer the consequences. Later the same evening the mob re turned to Biairs office, where his wife was, dragged her out and treated her to the most shocking indignities. Judge Burford immediately convened the Federal grand jury and it is yet in session. Mrs. Blair was summoned before that body and is still on the stand.

He looked rather lugubrious, and his chum hailed him to know what it was about. "Well, ah that is, it's about Miss Al ice." "Turned you down, has she''" Well, I know an awfully nice girl that I'll intro duce you to. I call on her sister rather often, and you could keep her in the back parlor while" "Thanks awfully, but you're wrong, as usual. You see, it's this way. Miss Al ice is devoted to the opera, and for weeks she's been talking about "dear Eames,' and "lovely Melba,' and 'that adorable De Reszke. I knew of course what she meant, but I was dead broke and meant to keep out of her way until she'd made her father take a box." "Go it, my boy. I'll always think you've something in your head after this." "But I" happened to meet heron the street the other day as -I was on my way to strike you for a loan. I was going to slip past, but she caught me; said she was just on her way to get tickets to the opera, and wouldn't I go with her to select the seats, she had so much faith in my judgment." "After that, if I know you, you went. "I did. When our turn came. I se lected the seats; then I went through the motion of putting my hand in my pocket for the money, though I knew there was none there. She never said a word, the ticket seller grinned, and the man back of me growled. A cold per spiration broke out all over me, and I stammered: "Really, Miss Alice, I'm awfully sorry, but I must have left my notebook at the office, and I haven't a cent with me. You ought to have seen the look she gave me." "Well, it was tough, but she under stood." "Indeed she did, but it was a great deal worse than you think, for she was trying to bluff me, too she hadn't a cent either. Oh, she'll never forgive me as long as she lives." And in the presence of grief like this consolation seemed indeed a hollow mockery. Chicago Tribune, Half Rites to Xexas.

Our Baby Boy Suffered Intensely From Impure Blood Till Perfectly Cured by Hood'ji, Sarsaparilla C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass. Our little baby boy Is now almost two years old. When he was about six weeks old thero appeared a breaking out on Ms head and breast. We tried various salves and soaps, but it Continued to Crow Worse 3Lnd we took him to a doctor. He said it was scrofula, but his treatment failed, and we called upon three other physiciaus, who termed it salt rheum or eczema. Even then he grew worse. A crust would gather on his head as thick as a quarter and puff up with corruption. Then it would come off, taking the hair with it. About three months ago we resolved to try Hood"s Sarsaparilla and Hood's Olive Ointment. To day we are happy to say that Burtron is now Entirely Well. The sores have all disappeared and his hair is growing nicely. He has only taken one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and used one box of Hood's59 Cures Ointment. We can now recommend Hood's Sar saparilla to others, and truthfully say It has worked wonders in our little boy's case. I have also been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for indiges tion and liver trouble and am improving right along." Pavtp a. Kuro, Harveyville, Kansas.

Weather Indication. Washington, April 10. Forecast till 8 p. m. Wednesday: For Kansas Fair; warmer; southerly winds. Perhaps Coxey's unknown is Tascott The ground hog may now safely come out. A two-inch April shower is doing very well for early in the month. Gov. Lewellisg's boo n for renomlna tion is much more powerful than his boom for re-election. Wheat may drop in Chicago on ac count of the big rain, but it is rising half an inch a day in Kansas. Senator Brice was in Wall street last week "looking after hi3 sugar interests." Can't Ohio do better than this? About the best place for the tramps i3 Washington. The rest of the country is glad they're going somewhere. Zella Nicolacs and Madeline Pollard would make a good team for the stage. They could pull it through the mire. Western and southern governors may bo noted for eccentricity, but most of the eastern ones are not noted for anything at all. Great men sometimes get their pic tures in the papers, but they are not in it with the man who has been cured of catarrh. Rhode Island shows a large Republi can majority for such a little state. A little man frequently wears just as big a hat as anybody else. A St. Louis man has bought all the old World's fair buildings for $75,000. That's as near as St. Louis came to get ting the World's fair. It is doubtful if we shall have any spring this year. Col. A. G. Stacey con veys the sad information to the public that he has lost his cork hat Congressmen don't seem to under stand that the country regards the Coxey movement as a great big joke on con gress; and the country is bound to have its laugh. Tom Reed, McKinleyand Judge Cald well are the three Republican presiden tial candidates up to date. To be fair to the rest of the country, the Pacific coast should have one. Benator IIalk is known in Washing ton as the most skilful mixer of cock tails of ail the men in public life there. People can say much better things of even Peffer than that Governor Tillman takes the name of the Lord in vain quite as frequently and as atrociously as Governor Waite. Popu list governors are accustomed to doing and saying things in vain. The Kansas City Star is supporting Major Morrill for governor. The Star's assistance to Mr. Cooper in the recent city election is an instance of the strength of its journalistic right arm. It has been proposed in congress to build a grand "boulevard" from the At lantic to the Pacific N.body has yet thought to call the proj actor a crack brain; but the idea is as ridiculous as Coxey'a. Abilene Reflector: The man who gets mad at his local paper and stops it be cause it criticises the methods of his vo cation, should double his subscription and return thanks three times a day for what the newspapers know about him and his business, but don't print The dance in Tammany Hall on Mon day night which developed into an orgy of drunkenness and naatiness culminat ing in riot and homicide, was a scandal of the worst sort Why does the Tam many society lease its hall for such dis graceful affairs? New York World. Tammany very fully represents New York city. If it didn't it would have to I go. Who was that Kansas man who said he pulled his hat down over his eyes when he went east because he was ashamed of Kansas? You never catch a New Yorker doing that He's not as hamed of the foulness of his nest Some Kansans are too foolishly thin skinned. A GOVERNOR'S WIFE. MRS. WAITE IS THE ASSISTANT EXEC UTIVE OF COLORADO. She Is Woman of Varied Accomplish ment and Is a True Helpmate Takes More Interest In Politics and In House wifely Arts Than In Society. Mrs. Waite, wife of the governor of Colorado, whom we frequently see men tioned in the press dispatches, is much younger than her husband. She 13 4S years of age, and he is 69. She wa3 a widow and he a widower when they were married in 1885, and each of them had three children, all well along in years and some of them married. Mrs. Waite does not look to be over 35. Her figure and voice are both youthful. Her eyes are blue, and her fair complexion is fresh and clear. Her chestnut hair i3 soft and fine and has only a few scat tered threads of silver. The governor's abundant hair and whiskers are snow white and patriarchal, but his tall fig ure is erect and robust, with a strength unusual to his years. He is somewhat deaf, but shows no other sign of phys ical disability. By the present union Governor and Mrs. Waite have one child, a son about 7 years old, who is MRS. WAITE. rery bright and forward and full of his father's nervous energy. He is affection ately called "the young governor" in the family circle. Mrs. Waite is not much over 5 feet tall and not much over 100 pounds in weight. She dresses plainly and does not go into society. On the day of the gov ernor's inauguration she sat in a box in the Broadway theater, where the cere mony took place, an inoffensive looking woman, rather thin and wholly com monplace in appearance, just such a Woman as might be imagined sewing buttons on the governor's clothes, a duty which no doubt she ia frequently called upon to perform., The society women of Capitol hill re garded her as a person of modest station, who would probably make a great many blunders for their amusement, but whom they would not slight, though it would doubtless be their duty to make her feel her little deficiencies. The shoe wa3 soon on the other foot. Mrs. Waite left formal cards just once in return for calls and since that time has appeared quite oblivions of the existence of such a thing as society, except on rare occasions. The ordinary functions at which a govern or's wife is the central figure are not graced by her presence, and she has giv en no entertainments, except an occa sional card party to intimate friends. One reason for her action is probably that the governor is a poor man, having little income besides his salary, and Mrs. Waite knew that she could neither entertain nor dress like the women on the hill. It is 6aid that Mrs. Waite makes her own clothes in order to have more money to devote to charity. She is interested in W. C. T. U. work and other reformatory movements, is a de vout believer in all the doctrines of the most advanced branch of the Populist movement and has been active in the women's political clubs formed since their right to vote was established. But above all things else Mrs. Waite Is interested in her husband and his work. Her devotion to him is complete, and in return her influence over him is greater than that of all his other advisers combined. Not infrequently the govern or say3 before deciding some important matter, "Well, I'll talk to my wife about it, as though that were the most natural thing possible. Unfriendly tongues 6ay that he is henpecked, that Mrs. Waite interferes altogether too fre quently in matters of state, and that the governor is guided entirely too much by her opinions and judgment. Most people who have met Mrs. Waite consider her a quiet domestic woman, quite incapable of meddling with state affairs. Colorado has no gubernatorial man sion. Governor Waite resides in a small family hotel in the heart of Denver, oc cupying a front and a back parlor and a third small room. The apartments are only four or five feet from the ground," separated from the sidewalk only by a narrow lawn. Meals are provided by tho house, except when Mrs. Waite gets up a lunch over an oil stove. Sometimes they .eat in their room and at other times sit at table with the rest of the boarders. The governor comes home from the splendid executive chamber each day about 5 o'clock unless there is pressing business. He pulls off his boots, slips his feet into the easy slippers kept at hand by his wife and slinks into a big loung ing chair, from which he rarely rises until it is time to retire. Mrs. Waite is with him, his son plays around the rooms, a few close friends, mostly ap pointees from the back counties, drop in, and pass the evenings talking politics. Governor and Mrs. Waite are both na tives of western New York, where the governor edited the Jamestown Journal for 20 years, and where he married his first wife in 1852. The present Mrs. Waite, who is cousin of her prede cessor, was then a beautiful child of 6 and danced merrily at the wedding; jmp K'f r- v i'rs. m r jf ti,crff. v Solo Agency in it w 5,000 ity, IDST IN BY EXPRESS A splendid line of Ladies' Laundered Shirt Waists which we place on sale at 50c, 75c and $1.00.

Garden truck at Greensburg has reached the stage, where the girls have to choose between young tempting onions and buggy rides. A. Fish from Ohio is at Sedan looking for a location on a farm. He is just the kind of man the real estate men have been looking for. The "middle" crowd at Atchison would take offense very quickly if it were in sinuated that the name had anything to do with their ages. A barber has opened up a shop at Gar- l field, and announces that anybody can get a shave, haircut or shampoo, for cash, eggs or cnickens. The only serious objection that has thus far arisen against military drill at Baker university, is that it interferes with baseball practice. Pittsburg is to have two women preach ers this summer. Mrs-Emilymith will oc cupy the Congregational pulpit and Miss Edith llill that oi the Baptists. Cedarvale has a park which is stocked with four genuine American bison, and the people who take a short cut across it aren't slow, in climbing the fence. The botany class of the Newton high school after trying in vain to analyze and classify a flower, finally discovered that it was artificial at least that is the story.

HEARD IS WASflJBfON. One of the Leading: Senators Makes a Statement. WHAT HE HAS DISCOVERED There is no 31 an or Woman Who Reads This Telegram Who Can not Profit by its Advice. Washington, D. C. April 10, The con sideration of the tariff bill and the Haw aiian question has been partially eclipsed by the revelation of certain figuers which the Health Department of the Govern ment has produced, It is shown that, as compared with other nations, America is in fact a nation of starvelings. We pro duce the grain, the beef, the pork to feed the world; but Americans, themselves, appear thin, pale and often puny. Auth orities are asking why this should be So, and it has been declared that it is because we are' so intense, so active as a nation. A prominent man in an official capacity, however, has declared that it is because Americans do not secure the proper bene fit from the food they eat He asserts that "the food that gets into the stomach is not digested, but after taxing the body to try to digest it, it fails to make any blood, thus leaving the body in a worse condition than before the food wa3 taken. A man or woman might as well starve outright, as to take food into the stomach and not have it digested." It is perhaps because of this revelation that the new discovery known as Paskola, the flesh forming food, is attracting so much attention just now. A well-known statesman in speaking upon the subject, yesterday, said: I do not know what I should do with all the cares and duties I have, if I had not something upon which to build my strength. "I have found that ordinary foods do not answer the purpose, but I have found that by the stSady use of Pas kola, I have no trouble with indigestion and have gained a number of pounds in weight For this reason I feel that I can not get along without.it" The eminent man above quoted is only one of a great many who are starting in the new and advanced path which has been shown to be the short cut to health and strength, and the attention of the people of Washington is centered upon this subject which is known to be so im portant A pamphlet giving full particulars re specting Paskola will be sent on applica tion to the Pre- Digested Food Co., N. Y. City. WOMAN MARSHAL. A Colorado Worn an Want, the Office Against Three Male Opponent.. New Castle, Colo., April 10. As one result of the franchise being extended to women in Colorado, Mrs. C. A.

Dow the People of Gibgonville, Mich., Try to Solve the Problem, of Employment. Michigan has a new co-operative col ony in the county of Genesee. It is called Gibsonville and was started last fall by the heirs of the late Cap tain Gibson, a pi oneer settler in Genesee, whodied a few years ago leaving a. fine es tate and a large family of chil dren. One of his sons, G. W. Gib- son, the president the community, while traveling in Cali fornia, became interested in the Kaweah colony and studied its workings. Upon his return to Michigan he succeeded in inoculating the rest of the heirs to hia father's estate with the communal idea, and they agreed to establish a co-operative community on the paternal farm, which comprises 415 acres of the most fertile land in Michigan. A joint stock company was organized, with the eight heirs as shareholders, the real estate representing the capital stock. At the start it was decided to limit the membership to 211, and each member is required to take 10 shares at a valuation of $19 each, no member being allowed to purchase more. The organization was effected in November. Since that time 50 families have joined the colony, and the population now numbers upward of 180 persons. There are about 40 houses already erected, built substantially enough to serve all purposes at the start, but they will be replaced by larger and more expensive structures as the com munity grows. The bylaws state that the company is organized to conduct an agricultural, manufacturing and mercantile business for the mutual benefit of all its mem bers. Equal rights are accorded to both sexes, and all business is done according to the instructions of a majority of the members as expressed by vote at the reg ular meetings. Most of the men now work at farming, but broom and basket factories and a creamery have been es tablished, and the community owns 200 cows. Other industries will be started as there is need and all members kept usefully employed, for there is no place for drones, and they will not be tolerated. The profits of the community are placed in a common fund and will be di vided at the end of the year. One-half of the proceeds will go to the members, each individual's share being regulated by the number of days' work he has done. The other half of the proceeds will be expended for public needs and improvements. Food, shelter, medical attendance, schools and most other things are public charges, about the only ex penditures required from the individual funds being for clothing.

If we -were asked the reason why Via vi performs such wonderful cures, we would be honest, and say, ""We don't know." Ask a scientist why an apple invariably falte down ward, and he would Bay it was due to the law of Gravitation. That is about all he coold tell you. It is no more natural for bodies to gravitate toward the center of the earth tb-n it is for Viavi to cure the dit eases peculiar to women. It is not a drug, but a food, which nourishes and strengthens the affected parts, thereby enabling nature to throw off the disease. Our Health Book sent free. KANSAS VIAVI CO-.Toueka.

Two local ele ments tell. the traveler lie i3 in "the American's paradise, even though he come from the other end of the earth, with, liis eyes shut the odor of warm asplin.lt and the voice of the "cafe chaji taiit singer. The "singing garden" is peculiar to Paris. Driving tip tho Champs JClysee, thetwinkliyof colored lamps proclaim the names cf there gardens in luminous type. They sie surrounded with close shrubbery and hung with ropes of gas jets. On entering the visitor is not stopped for an entrance fee, but pursues his way to on? of the mejiy small tables which surround the stage. The stage is in the middle of the cafe, with a glass roof, which acts as a sounding board. Once seated, you arc espectod to order something to drink. Tho list includes everything from coco a mixture of licorice and water to absinthe. The price of the drint covers a small admis sion fee, which depends upon tho seat you have chosen. The stage now cornea in for a share of your attention. Seated around in a cir cle ara half a dozen women in evening costume. They have a "thinking part, for they arc the scenery. Enter the cafe at any hour of the evening, and you will see a woman in a short flaming red satin gown come forward. With a little run and then a step backward she com mences her eouy. She either carries a parasol with, a twirl, or she drops the little black satin mak she wears and plants both hand:; on her hips. Her song consists of a great deal of a tnnitnm air. It ends with a flourish, a toss of the head and a wink of the eye that are very Frenchy. The words are evidently funny, for everybody laughs, although no one ap plauds but tha claqv.e, and thy are paid. Half an hour of that sort of thing bores an Americansohe orders another drink and watches .tho audience. It con sists mainly of tradespeople, students and travelers. Here. comes a small store keeper with his wife and daughter. Then the young man enters who sells you gloves in one of tho large shops on the Avenue do 1 'Opera. He has a litlle grisetto in a well fitting gown and no covering for her head but her neatly braided hair. Closely following there is an art student from the Latin quarter with tho girl that oixerod you a bouquet for sale in the courtyard of your hotel. A CAFE SIXGER. Then an artisan saunters along in a bluo jeans blouse, his hands in his pockets and his wifo hanging on his arm. It is here yon see the Parisian as ho is an excitable, amusement loving creature, with one eye on his "vin ordinaire" (.very ordinaire) the ot1 on the look out for an attractive wo. l The women on tho f.tage e generally culled from the artist's models or girls who prefer tho life of Paris to pounding linen on tho banks of the Seine. Many of these keep their entire family in some little room among the chimney pots. This livelihood may mean a few sweet flowers in pots, white curtains to tho windows, an oil stove, on which fried potatoes may bo cooke-d to eat with a chicory salad or an artichoke. This list constitutes the luxuries of the lower class. All the cafe singers unfortunately are not content with such simple pleasures. There are many whose conduct has been the talk of two continents. One of them once bore Jerorao Bonaparte's escutch eon on her noto paper. Another filled her apartments with lotus flowers from the slimy Nils and eaitertained men whose pictures have hung in the salon. Another drove tamed tigers tandem through the Bois de Bologne, and still another stabled her horses in a bijera of a salon. One woman who will soon be seen on the New York stage has set Paris in a furore. She has come upon the city cometlike. She holds the throb bing, pulsing heart of Paris in the palm of her little fist, whose finders have traced men's destinies rosy fingers that point to perdition. She is a revelation. She sings risque songs with tho demure ness of a Puritan. She wears long, sim ple gowns the first on record, and black gloves to the elbows. It is hard to tell how her smiling cherubic face, with its halo of sun kissed curls, will be received in America, but at present in this city the cafe chantant singer is queen. IvIald Jales. A Key That Weiflts Seven Pound. An old and curious key and lock are at tached to the door of Temple church, in I J?leet street, Lonc;on. J. he Key weigns seven pounds, is 18 inches long, and, un like other keys, it was not made for the lock. On the contrary, the lock was made for it. Both key and lock have been in use 6ince the crusades, the church itself having been built by the Knights Templars. By good conduct a convict in English penal servitude may earn a remission of one-fourth of his sentence. j-.3r"-."sl v fs ----"7 Midwinter Fair, San Francisco Fast Enough. An employee of a large granite company was driving from the station with several kegs of blastiug powder and dynamite car tridges in his load and overtook a young nan walking. Without waiting for an in vitation the pedestrian sprang up into the wagon and sat down upon one of the pow der kesjs. He was a talkative young man and be gan at once to make derogatory remarks about the speed of the wngon or the lack of it. "We're patsies: everything on the road," he said cheerily "that is, everything that is stationary." Not receiving a reply, he continued, "I was half a mind to hire a landslide or a glacier just for -speed, you know, but I guess we are doing about as well." He was silent for soma time; then he broke forth again: "I say stop tho horse! The earth Is re volving fast enough to get U3 there." Just-then he prepared to scratch a match on the keg. The driver spoke rather lazily: '"If you are goin my way, this is jest as fast as it will be, but if you want to go straight tip at right angles to the road jest light that match on that powder an you're tbere now." The young man decided to walk. Youth's Companion. The Difference. A very good story is going the rounds about Jacob Tome, the millionaire bank president, who tho other day left a package containing Su'J.OCO in bank, notes lying on a car seat. As i.s well known, his wealth, which is estimated at several millions, was accumulated by hard work and shrewd in vestments. He started life on a raft and at one time during his career was a hostler in Maryland. Some time ago, so the story goes, a friend of his, who had been a fellow hostler in Tome's early days and who hnd never risen above that, approached hiin for the loan of $250. He was informed that he could have it upon producing proper secur ity. The demand for s.ecurity incensed Mr. Tome's hostler friend, and turning to him he said, "Why, dang it, Jake, weren't you and I hostlers together?" and received the reply, "Yes, and you're a hostler still."

Tho dainty shot and striped tnffetas of the season make up very handsomely with plain surahs. Tho new fjpring shades in magenta are exasperatingly aggressive and eeem to stand aloof from association with nearly all ether colors. Dressy supper coats are preferred by many youthful women to the more ma tronly tea gowns, and some of these jackets are exceptionally elaborate. Jet is certainly taking first place among the new trimmings and will be used in great profusion on hats and dresses alike. Even the laces are elaborately jetted. The newest parasols show that chiCon has not lost any of its former prestige. On the contrary, chiffon is everywhere very much in evidence among the dainty summer belongings of la mode. "White satin sleeves covered with black jetted net will be seen in black and white striped or dotted silk gowns trimmed with jetted lace.and rich black silk gowns decorated with white lace and insertion. The beautiful zouave jackets still hold their own and never seem quite to lose their prestige, and the new and varied shapes in which they are seen combine the prettiest points of both new and old with perfect fit and dainty finish. The delicate sweet pea tints are very fashionable in taffeta silks shot with gold or silver. Toilets are made wholly of these silks, or they are used for half low bodices and underskirts beneath dra peries of lace, net, chiffon or grenadine. New York Post. Pure blood means good health.

"Did you disturb the peace?" "I don't know about that yer honor," but the police said they did know, and Judge Knsminger made his tine $5. James Smith was next called. He was also charged with being drunk. He wore the aspect of a confirmed bum.

S3 11 7f TALKED OF BIRTHMARKS Doctors Discuss a Mat ler of Much Curl on Interest. Dr. Reid Alexander, the president of the Topeka Academy of Medicine and Surgery, called the meeting of the doc tors to order last evening at No. 723 Kan sas avenue. The first paper of" the evening was read by Dr. J. E. Minney. The subject was "Herpes Zoster Opthalmicus," com monly known as "shingles." He brought a subject with him. It was Mr. W illiam Bacon of Green, Kan., and his eyes and face were affected. The disease is one where some part of the body is improperly nourished and small blisters form. Dr. R. E. McVey said that this disease was treated very differently to what it was when he was a young man. He said that the remedy for "shiugles" used to be to put "black cat's blood" on the eruptions, or if the sufferer be "weil fixed," to. cover the eruptions entirely with gold. The doctor said laughingly that these remedies seemed to cure the case. Dr. J. L. Gilbert read a paper an "The Angioma of the Skin." He had some microscopic specimens. He told of a case of that which was under his care. An operation was necessary, and the doc tor preserved the tumors and exhibited them before the society. One form of angroma are "birth marks," so commonly seen. One of the doctors said that lie didn't believe in the theory that was prevalent among all wo men, that a child was pre-natally marked by the impressions of the mother. He cited as an instance his own wife. One day he found some very young rats. '1 hey were hardly able to move. He pickedthem up in his hands and went to the house. Just for a joke he told his wife to hold out her hands. She did so, and he dropped the young rats into them. "Do you know," said he, "my wife said, 'my child will look like a rat,' and I could not make her think differently. Just alter the child was born she asked if it looked like a rat. You all know my son, and I'm sure he doesn't look ratty I think it i the mission of the medical profession to dispel all these fears." Dr. J. C. McClintock read a paper on hernia, and cited a case. Dr. R. E. McVey and Dr. Stewart, cited a case in the discussion, and also Dr. Schenck. The following physicians were pres ent: W. IL Righter, W. E. McVey, W. L. Scheuc.k, J. L. Gilbert, J. H. Cannon, B. D. Eastman, J. E. Minney, R. S. Ma gee, R. E. McVey, a. G. Stewart, G. A. Wall. S. E. Sheldon, M. O'Brien, M. B. Ward, W. S. Lindsav, H. K. Tefft, D. B. Colcord, J. C. McClintock, H. T. Wehe, Agnes McKee Wallace, Mary E. Church, Harriet E. Adams, Ida C. Barnes, Mag gie McCrea. Miss Frisbee, a medical student, was a visitor at the meeting. ROW IN THEjMEN CORNER. Trouble in a. Methodist Kvivl Ends in Discharge of the Uft'eiider. A crowd of colored people from North Topeka occupied the attention of the police court this morning. The case was that of Berry Elder, charged with dis turbing a Methodist revival meeting. The testimony failed to sustain the charge. It was found that Deacon John Jordan attempted to make a demonstra tion of his authority and Berry did not accede to his commands quite so readily as Deacon Jordan considered proper in a common sinner. There were various threats about de stroying the physiognomy of the deacon and counter threats, but it was found that they were made quite as decorously as such things could be. The preacher was presemt and said he was not dis turbed in the least and knew nothing of the trouble, so Deacon Jordan was com pelled to pocket his disappointment and Judge Ensminger told Berry he was dis charged. The notorious Ben Jordan, bootlegger, was a witness for the defendant. Judge Ensminger asked him, while on the stand: "How did you happen to be at church, anyway?" "O," said Jordan, with an expansive smile, "I goes sometimes." flow's This! We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of C atarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

The Santa Fo Hospital Board Meets Tomorrow Afternoon TO TAKE ACTION OH BUILD IHG. Conductors or Kzw Valley Division Opposed to Seniority Kule Other Railroad Matters. Topeka will probably soon have the satisfaction, and shortly too, of seeing work begin on the much talked of Santa Fe hospital building. As our readers already knowa mag nificent site covering nearly an entire block on the south side of Sixth avenue, between Jefferson and Madison streets, was purchased last winter and plans drawn for a two story and a high base ment building to be built of New Mexico stone. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock a meeting of the hospital board will be held in the chief surgeon's office at the Santa Fe building, to discus3 the matter and settle the question of a liberal ap propriation and lhe calling for bids. A prominent Santa Fe official spoke in a very encouraging manner to a Journal reporter today in regard to the prospec tive early commencement of the building and active operations will likely begin in a very few weeks. .TUG SENIORITY RULE. Kaw Valley Conductors Want Merit and 't Age to Count. At a meeting of conductors, brakemen and trainmen at the hall of Kaw Valley division No. 55 of the order of Railway Couductofs, at Kansas City, a vote on the abolitiou of the seniority custom on the Missouri Pacific has been taken, and the measure carried almost unanimously. Seniority is nothing more or less than the promotion of men according to their length of service in the company. It is the custom on western railways to do this, but recently the men on the Rock Island railway decided that merit alone should be considered in the promotion of men. and the best men should go up whether they had served the company ten years or ten- months. The Missouri Pacific railway officials will now be asked to abolish seniority. 1)1 Id) ON THK TRAIN. Wiillam F. linate of iliil:i:l: pliia. Passes Awy N t; .1 r Tupek t.

Boate of Philadelphia, died of c.jusumption on the east iiound Santa Fe passenger train. No. 4, just after it left Topeka Sunday afternoon. Mr. Boate had been to California for his health in charge of his brother Geo. Boate, but grew rapidly worse there and feeling that he must soon depart this life expressed a desire that he t.e taken home to die, amid the softening presence of his relatives and friend, lie was much worse at Emporia and although Dr. O. H. Smith of New York, was on the train and exerted his skill to the ut most the patient died. Mr. Boate was 34 years of age and un married. His remains were shipped from Kansas City to Philadelphia. ALL ALONG THE LINE. Rjtilroad Ntwi I;ems Interesting to Itail rccierj Kil l tlia Public. The 'Frisco has ordered a new depot to be built at Neodesha. The Santa Fe's California business is reported as still in the ascendency. Of the westbound emigrant business for the present year, the Union Pacific is 6aid to hold 89 per cent of the contracts. C. W. Kouns, superintendent of the Santa Fe car service, has left for the east on business connected with his de partment. W. R. Welch, the efficient Santa Fe re lief agent, is at his home in Williams burg, Franklin county, for a vacation on account of ill health. J. P. Jofinson, assistant superintendent of the Rock Island car service, will be given the third degree in Masonry at the Siloam lodge Thursday evening. The order recently issued by the rail roads for the free transportation of goods and seed grain destined for the sufferers in western Kansas has been withdrawn. The employes in the auditor's office of the Santa Fe are now working two hours each evening. for a short time, on ac count of additional work connected with the receivership. About $675 worth of cordwood belong ing to the Santa Fe has been burned at Argentine. The fire was caused by sparks from one of the engines, and 223 cords were destroyed. Secretary of War Daniel S. Lamont was in Topeka for three minutes yester day noon on his way from Fort Riley to Ft. Leavenworth in a special train. He is'inspecting the western forts. The Newton men of the Santa Fe pas senger service will get the new Baldwin engines. The engines they will replace will go into the freight service on the Kansas City and Emporia branch. In May the Union Pacific will put on two new passenger locomotives which, it is said, will be the fastest and most powerful in the west. They are now be ing built at its Armstrong shops at Kan sas City, Kans. Two farmers residing near Maryville, Texas, were arrested Saturday evening by a Santa Fe detective, charged with having placed obstructions on the rails near Thackerville, O. T., recently for the purpose of robbing a north bound express train. Topeka will tomorrow witness a pro cession of forty-three cars of fruits and vegetables bound eastward from Cali fornia. The train left Albuquerque yes terday, and forty of the cars are loaded with oranges. They are nearly all of the navel variety. For several years past the business of insuring the employes of the Santa Fe has been in the hands of the Travelers' of Hartford, but Judge Caldwell has or dered that the business be given to the Union Casualty of St. Louis, because "he preferred a Western company should have it." Engineer James D. McKinney, whose bravery and presence of mind saved the Rock Island train from a hold-up at St. Joseph, has been presented a handsomely engraved gold watch by the Rock Island railroad and United States Express com pany. The watch is valued at $250. Trip passes B 4670 and 4671 have been cancelled by the Santa Fe. These passes were? issued on March 30 to N. A. Heaton and J. M.
