To Be Put Behind Prison Bars if Possible BY THE PRESENT INS." This is the Latest Sensational State House Story. Yoiinr Challenor in the Role of Avenging Angel. A Topeka man, who says he knows what he 13 talking about, said today that he had positive information that it is the plan of the present state administration to put every member of the Populist board of charities behind the prison bars if possible. This, he gays, is not being talked about except in the inner circles as it would be bad politics to make an announcement of this kind and then fail to carry it out. Mr. John England Challenor, the im ported state accountant, has been at work on the books of the Topeka insane asylum but three days, yet he says he has discovered enough crookedness to Boud one or two officials to jail. Mr. Challenor, it is asserted, has dis covered that the state board of charities has bought and paid for supplies for the asylum that have never reached that in stitution. In one instance he found an invoice from a well known wholesale house for 1,000 pounds of cofle, and the books show that amount of coffee was paid for. In checking this up Mr. Challenor went to the books kept by the steward, but here it was shown that but 6U0 pounds of coffee was received. Check iag back still farther Mr. Challenor hunt ed up the freight way bill and found that the railroad had hauled but 600 pounds of coffee from the wholesale house to the asylum at that time. Now he wants to know where the other 400 pounds of coffee was shipped to, if it was shipped at all, and if not, who got the money for it. It is asserted that Mr. Challenor has found items of tea and other articles of food which are short in this same man ner. WON'T 00 TO GUATEMALA. Abandonment of Hie Indianapolis Colony Advised. Indianapolis, Ind., April 11. Recent articles printed in newspapers telling of profitable fields in Guatemala for Amer ican emigrants induced the formation of an Indianapolis colony, whose purpose it was to emigrate to that country. This colony was to consist of 150 men. Among its members was J. Conrad Bray, who wrote to P. M. B. Young, the Amer ican minister at Guatemala, asking for information regarding the flattering in ducements that have been offered emi grants. Mr. Bray has just received an unswer to his letter. Mr. Young writes that the interviews which have been so widely published as having come from the Guatemalan minister are absolutely false. The minister says that that country holds but poor inducements to emigrants. He says that laborers receive but 1 a day. He discourages any at tempt at emigration on the part of Americans. The proposed colony will be abandoned upon the advice of Min ister Young. MINNETONKA GOING DRY. Steamboats Won't Float in the Celebrated Minnesota Lake. Minneapolis, Minn., April 11.

Ha and Mrs. Simpson Ride in a Wagon, Selling Butter and Egg. Medicine Lodgk, Kan., April 11. Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Simpson have dropped back easily" and naturaily into farming life. Yesterday Mrs. Simpson came into town from the farm with a basket of eggs and a few pounds of but ter and exchanged them for groceries and calico. Mrs. Simpson wore a sunbonnet, and said: "l am now Farmer Simpson's wife." She 4s happy and contented on the farm, and Washington life did not change her a bit She knows everybody in Medicine Lodge, talks to them all and has hoBta of friends. Jerry comes into town every few days. lie rides in a lumber wagon, drives a span of mules, and in all likeli hood thiuks that he i? only in Elba in stead of St. Helena. He wears a woolen Bhirt and an old hat. Jerry's best campaigns were made by his clothes, and he still has a belief that he will go to congress again. He has a very good farm that is well stocked, but he tells them at Medicine Lodge that times are hard and that he has "fierce and terrible struggles" to avoid the toils of the bankers and money lenders. Opinion is divided locally as to his finan cial condition. The preponderance of opinion, how ever, is that he is well fixed financially. Some others say that he has a mortgage of $500 on his stock, but that he has done that simply for effect. WO BANDITS KILLED. S. Marshals Have Another Desperate Fight With Outlaws.

The men who are behind the movement street The have shops in the reason they want a change, they of the street say, is that the reputation is bad, and this has been spread from one end of the land to the other.

IS IT A CATTLE TRUST? Asks for Data as to Number of Cattle Sold. Bureau of Animal Industry Ordered to Report. Washington, April 11. Secretary of Agriculture Morton today began an in quiry into the recent increase in the price of meats for the purpose of ascer taining if any combination in violation of law exists for the purpose of putting up. prices. The secretary's letter of instructions y for ..he inquiry is as follows: Dr. De Salmon, Chief of Bureau of Animal In dustry: Sir: Furnish at your earliest con venience a statement of the number of cattle received at the stock yards in Omaha, in Kansas City, in East St. Louis and in Chicago dnring the months of January, February aud March for the year 1S95. It is importaut just at this time to ascertain as as well mav be from those sources what falling off there is in the cattle supply of the United States as compared with previous years. In January, 1885, cattle sold for $5. 7 J; in February the same year for $5.65; and in March the same year for j 0.771 per hundred weight at the Kan-' sas Oiiy stock yavds. I And in 1892 they sold in the same mar ket in January, at $5, in February at $480 and in March at $470 per hundred weight, while in 1892 they sold in January at $5.60, in February at $5.55; in March $5.70 and in January, 1891, at the Kansas City stock yards they sold at $5.25, in February at'; $4.80 and in March $4.50. I wish now to ascertain the- prices paid at Kansas City and in Chicago dur ng January, February and March of 1895, and also the number of cattle re ceived at those points during that time. lhe largest cattle receipts at Chicago j in any one day occurred, 1 believe, April 25, 1892, when 32,677 head were received, and the largest cattle receipts at Chicago in a single week were 95,528 head, received during the seven dayo ending September 19, 1891; and the argest receipts ot cattle for a single month at Chicago were in September, 1892, when 385,466 head wore received. Be kind enough to instruct the agents of the bureau ot animal industry of the United States department of agriculture wherever they may be stationed, to col lect and send in as rapidly as possible, all reliable data at their command, which may tend to truthfully show what diminution, if any, there is in the cattle 6upply of the United States for the year 1895, as compared with previous years. Also instruct the agents of the bureau of animal industry to make thorough inquiry as to whether, in their judgment. there is any combination in violation of law by which a cattle "trust" is putting up the price of beef products, while it is putting down the per. capita price of cat tle. Very respectfully your3. J. Steklino Morton, Secretary. OBJECTS TO THE NUDE. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Has Some of Her Fictnres Draped. New York, April 11. A special to the Press from Newport, R.

Superstitious People Look Forward to Tomorrow With Store Than Interest. Superstitious persons are looking for ward with trepidation to April 12. At 3 o'clock p. m. on that day, Jerusalem time, or 8:20 p. m. Central time, the heavenly bodies, it is said, for the first time since the sacrifice on Calvary will occupy the same positions they held at that hour. On counting from the date of the eclipse, March 10, to Good Friday, April 12, there are found thirty-three days, representing in years the age of Christ at the crucifixion. From January 1 to the eclipse is sixty-nine days, and Sep tember, 1895, to September, 1896, is the sixty-ninth jubilee year since the exo dus of Moses and the last jubilee year in this milienery. Many people await the conjunction of the planets on Good Friday with a feeling of awe that ap proaches terror. TO REPEAL INCOME TAX. Senator Hill trill Introduce Such a Bill in the Xfxt Congress. Washington, April 11. "As soon as the Fiity-fourth congress convenes, I in tend to offer a bill in the senate to repeal the income tax," said Senator David B. Hill. "I believe that the action of the supreme court has practically emascu lated the measure and has left so little in it to commend itself to the American people that congress will in short order repeal the measure from the statute books."

The American and European bond holders of the Santa Fe have at last agreed upon a plan for the reorganiza tion of the company, which has been ap proved by the directors of the company representing the stockholders and which will, if carried out, soon place the com pany on a sound business basis and bring about the discharge of the receiveri. The plan in a nut shell proposes to as sess all the stockholders $10 for each share of stock they hold, and issue new stock to cancel the old stock. The stock holder will receive common stock of the new issue for his old stock at par, and will receive prefesred stock for the $10 assessment. The bondholders are also to be assessed 4 per cent. This assessment of stockholders and bondholders will raise a fund of about $13,000,000. This would fall far short of being enough to buy in the property if it should be sold at foreclosure sale, but it will pay off the floating debt and leave something to start out with if the pro posed exchange of old securities for new can be agreed to.

ECONOMY MAKES TROUBLE. Charles Stone and Joe Adams Fight Over One of John Firey's Wells. Charles Stone lives in one of John Firey's houses at 1413 North Jackson street and Joe Adams lives next door. Mr. Firey is a very economical landlord and instead of haviug a well for each house he makes one sutfice for several. The well is located in Stone's yard and all the neighbors use it Stone got mad at Adams this week and declared a boycott against him, and issued a decree that Adams was forbid den the use of his well. Adams wasn't to be bluffed and Tuesday he went to the well with a bucket in one hand and a knife in the other. He met Stone with a neck-yoke in one hand and his fist in the other. For a space of several min utes the air was full of buckets, neck yokes, atone?, Adam3 and profanity. When the dust had settled Stone's face bad been cut from the right side of his mouth to his chin, and Adams was so sore where he was struck with the neck yoke that he had to walk home Bideways. This morning Delaney Wilkerson, act ing as a constable from Justice Furry's court, arrested Stone for assault and bat tery. Justice Furry released on his own recognizance to appear next week to an swer to the charge of assault and bat tery. Adams is still unable to work from his injuries. BIRD'S TWO DEPUTIES. w. I.

London, April 11. Great crowds of people were gathered outside and inside the Bow street police court today when Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were brought from the prison at an early hour in a Black Maria in order to be ex amined on re ui a Lid on the charge of hav ing committed serious misdemeanors. The court opened at 11 o'clock with both prisoners in the dock. Wilde looked haggard and worn and it was noticed that he has greatly changed since he appeared on the wit ness stand of the Old Bailey to prosecute his suit for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry. Today he was much more subdued, although he smiled once or twice, at certain questions which were put to hi in. BuVhe seemed to realize the gravity of the situation in which he found him self. He was dressed as faultlessly as ever, carrying a shining silk hat in his hand and displaying on his ungloved fingers muny sparkling gems. Taylor, Wilde's fellow prisoner, be haved in the same sneeringly indifferent manner as when arraigned last week, and was evidently not as deeply impressed with the seriousness of the charges brought against him as was Wilde. Sir Edward Clarke again appeared for Wilde and two lawyers acted as.coun sel for Taylor. The prisoners are evidently making a desperate fight. The lawyers todoiy de layed the "proceedings in every possible way and the examination of the accused promises to be a protracted affair. Kossuth's Son Elected. London, April 11. A dispatch to the Daily News from Vienna says that Francis Kossuth, son of the late Louis Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot, has been elected to the Hungarian Reichstag for Tarpelcza, defeating Herr Voerces, under secretary of state.

CHICAGOJSJOO BIG. A Novel Scheme Proposed for Its Self Government. The Plan is to Sever It from Illinois. TO BE INDEPENDENT. It Would Have a General As sembly of Its Own. Move is in Form of a Joint Legislative Resolution. Springfield, I1L, April 11. A move ment was set on foot by Representative Jones of Green, in the legislature today, which if carried out will practically sever Cook county (Chicago) from the stale of Illinois. It was in the form of a joint resolution aud provides that the question of giving Cook county a separ ate government from the balance of the slate shall be submitted to a vote of the people. Tue resolution recites that the rapid and unprecedented growth of the city reuders it necessary for special laws to be enacted at every legislature. The in terests of Chicago are in mauy instances directly opposed to those of the state at large, and therefore injustice must be done to one section in order to benefit tne other. It is therefore resolved that there be submitted to the people for their ratifica tion or rejection at the next general elec tion for the election of members of the assembly the proposition that Cook county shall be governed by a general assembly composed of 17 senators and 51 representatives. Pro vision is made tor tue division oi i.ook county into districts, and the general election laws of the state shall govern the election of such senators and repre- aentatives. 1 This general assembly of Cook county shall pass the laws necessary to administer justice iu the coun ty. All -present judicial officers shall hold their respective oliices until the expiration of the term for which they have been elected. In addition thereto, the said general assembly shall provide for a supreme court of live members, to be elected for a term of nine years. All criminals aud insane persons from Cook county confined in state institutions outside of Cook county shall, upon the adoption of the amendment, b.- removed to iustitutiona iu Cook county. No tax may be levied on the county for use out side of its boundary and Cook county cannot draw lrom the state treasury, but it shall receive its proportionate share of the revenue of the Illinois Central rail road. The members of the Cook county gen eral assembly shall only sit with th general assembly of Illinois during the election of a United Slates senator to congress and during the impeachment of state officers, but can vote on no other matters. No bill passed by the Cook county legislature becomes a law until signed by the presiding officer of each house and by the governor of the state unless they shall have received a two thirds vote of each house. All state buildings in Cook county shall be transferred to Cook county to be used as the Cook county assembly may direct In speaking of the resolution Repre sentative Jones said: "The necessity for such legislation is fully stated in the preamble. Chicago will soon be the great est city in the United States. It is more metropolitan now than any oth6r city, uud its increasing needs are so vast and various, and so different from those of other portions of the state, that it should have a legislative body with power to meet every fluctuation of public senti ment and necessity. "No citizen of Illinois will for a mo ment consent to make a separate state out of Chicago, and every citizen desires to do all in his power to aid its growth. My proposition has been hastily drawn, but I believe it is on the right line, and when fully considered will meet with popular approval." 'the resolution was referred committee on judiciary. to the One Vessel Using Another as a Rudder. Not the least frequent of ocean steam ship mishaps, especially during the heavy weather of the winter months, is the disabling of the steering gear. The plan of one vessel utilizing another as a rndder in such a case followed on at least one occasion tbat comes to mind just at present may therefore be of in terest. A towing hawser was in this instance taken from the bow of the vessel that was towed, passed to the stern of the towing vessel and made fast to a point 100 feet or more forward of the stern. At a point near' the latter were fitted two purchases, one on the port and the other on the starboard side, for the pur pose of deflecting the hawser either to port or starboard, and, by the angle thus made, changing the direction of the pull on the hawser. This, of course, changed the direction of the vessel. In other words, any deflection either to the right or to the left oE the towing line by means of the purchases produced the same effect on the towing vessel as put ting the helm over to port or starboard.

Repre sentatives of the Illinois State Woman Suffrage association had a bearing yester day afternoon before an audience com posed of the house committee on elections and a large number of other representa tives. T hey were on their way to Deca-' tur, where the association has its annual session, beginning to-morrow, and topped over to do some lobbying for the township suffrage bill. Mrs. Holmes, president of the state association, made a lengthy address and was followed by Mrs. Marian Washburn of Chicago, Mrs. Aletzger of Moline. Mrs. Lizzie Long of Barry and several others. At the close of the speech-making, Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullough called upon Captain Farrell, one of the well known Demo cratic members of the house to lead in singing "America." The national hymn was sung with much enthusiasm and then Captain Far rell, at the suggestion of the women, struck up, 'Nearer my God to Thee." When the women had ended their speech-making they were surprised to find that the elections committee, whose members they supposed they were ad dressing, had gone out, held a meeting and postponed action on the bill for a week.

An autUorita tive statement of the terms of peace be ing negotiated between Japan and China has been secured from official sources. The statement is made in order to clear up much misapprehension arising from spec ulation as to the terms of peace. Ihey i are five in number as follows: I gjFirat Independence of Korea. Second Permanent cession of the Island of Formosa to Japan. Third Indemnity of 300,000,000 taels (Chinese coin worth $1.33.) Fourth Permanent occupation of Port Arthur and the immediate contiguous territory. Fifth A new Japan-China treaty opening the interior of China to cam- merce. j The money indemnity is expressed in Chinese taels instead of Japanese yen. The tael is in reality a weight instead of a coin. It is considered silver i money. While the face value at $1.33 would be equivalent to $399,000, 000 in silver, it is eaid the actual value would be between $210,000,000 and $220,000,000 in gold. The fifth term as to a new treaty includes various trade features such as free access of Chinese rivers. There is no demand for territory on the mainland outside of Port Arthur and its contiguous surroundings. FIRE AT COL. ROSSINGTON'S Flames Start Mysteriously In an Upper Story. The residence of W. H. Rossington at 916 Monroe street was damaged by fire, at 8 o'clock last evening. The fire caught mysteriously in an upper room which contained nothing which it was known could originate a fire. Miss Rossington was at home alone and first noticed the fire and gave the alarm. The fire department was on the scene almost instantly and succeeded in confining the flames to the one room. Only the chemical engine was used, so there was little damage from water. The room in which the fire started was badly damaged and some of the ad joining apartments were injured by smoke. What might have proved a very serious fire was averted by prompt ness in sending in the alarm. The loss is estimated by Chief Wil marth at $500. Congressman Broderiek Here.

EASTERN jlCTIMS. An Omaha Broker Places Many Bogus Mortgages. He Has Made Thousands Out of the Swindle. HE LEFT SUDDENLY. Since Then Evidence of His Guilt Came Out. .Omaha, Neb., April 11. Frank Eose berry, an Omaha real estate dealer, who left here suddenly two weeks ago, is alleged to have been connected with some extensive swindling1 through bogus mortgages placed with east ern investors. He has for years done a large business as a loan broker, handling many mort gages. Since evidence of his crooked ness developed it is believed he is very deeply involved, aggregating many thousands. The instances which came to light yesterday were through the commercial agency of Snow, Church Co. Tliey were instituted to fore close mortgages by John B. Watts, Sarah E. Striker and oth ers, of eastern Pennsylvania. Each had advanced 81,000 on the instru ments which purported to cover valu able Omaha realty, and were appar ently recorded in proper form. In vestigation developed that all the per sons whose names appeared as mort gaging this property were myths and the lots were not in existence. The signatures of the notary and recorder of deeds were forged. Roseberry, during 1890, was making city loans for various parties in the east, and the conclusion is that he would make out a mortgage, sign some fictitious name to it, put on its face the statements always entered by the reg ister of deeds and then forge the regis ter's name to it, receiving the money for the "gilt-edged" security and put ting it into his pocket. He must have kept up the interest on the mortgages, for they have not before been sent to this city for foreclosure. The amount of the forgeries cannot now be esti mated, but judging from circumstances they will reach far into the thousands. His eastern victims will probably be many, for Roseberry was lending money right and left, and was using it to plunge with on the board of trade. THE RECENT STAMP COUNTERFEITING. Hamilton, Ont., April 11. The per son who is supposed to have sent out the counterfeit stamps, as announced in a dispatch from Chicago yesterday, came here several weeks ago and gave his name as George Morrison. He is about 30 years of age. He said his business was buying and selling bank rupt stocks. April 2 he rented an old paint shop on King William street and opened the Canadian Novelty and Supply Co. He engaged Mrs. Mack as elerk. The next day he departed, say ing he was going to Toronto to estab lish there. April 5, Mrs. Mack got instructions by letter to send an advertisement to the Printers' Ink offering 115 worth of United States 2-cent stamps for sale for $100. She was led to believe that Mor rison got the stamps for payment for goods. Under his instructions she sent away seven closely sealed express pack ages, all addressed to different people in Chicago. Since that time she has received a letter from Buffalo, signed by Morrison, instructing her to pay all money she had belonging to bim to a man who would identify him self by asking for 56. 25. Up to date, however, she has not reeeived any money nor has any person called to identify himself by asking for 86.25. The only other communication she has had from Morrison was a letter in structing her to send all his mail mat ter to the Toronto general delivery office. HE WEILDED AN AX. A Blaniac Holds an Officer and a Posse of Twenty-five at Bay. Seligman, Mo,, April 11. John Hen ry Tuck, living 4 miles southwest of here, was repftrted to the officers as be ing insane. Constable J. T. Lump skins. Deputy H. C. Baker and Dr. J. M. Sparkman went to his house to bring him in, but on their arrival Tuck held them at bay with an ax. A posse of about twenty-five were deputized and he was captured and taken to Cass ville, the county seat, yesterday even ing, where his insanity will be proven by the court, which is in session, and be sent to Nevada, the state insane asylum. He became a maniac on the subject of religion, and declared there were seven persons here that he was going to kill and then start for Oregon, where he has two sons. He has two married daughters, two brothers and an aged father and mother living here. His wife having died about fifteen years ago, he was living by himself, lie is reported to have been once in the insane asylum in the state of Oregon. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. A Boy, While Watching an Aeronaut, Ran Into Wlr Fence. Clinton,Mo., April 11. While watch ing the ascent of a' balloonist in this city the 8-year-old son of W. S. Deigh ton ran into a barbed wire fence and cut his throat, almost sever ing the jugular vein. Physicians were in attendance at once, but the wound is serious, and the boy will have a hard time to pull through. While making the descent the parachute collapsed 75 feet in the air, and the balloonist fell on top of a box car and from that to the ground receiving bruises, cuts and contusions which will probably prove fatal.

Prominent Free Stlverltes to Go West on Missionary "Work. Washix&ton, April 11. On next Sat urday Mr. Sibley, Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Gen. A. J. Warner, presi dent of the Bimetallic league, will meet in Chicago. It is expected that they will be joined there by three or four other prominent apostles of free 6ilver, and the party will proceed to Denver, Col., arriving in that city on April 15. It is not proposed to do any missionary work en route, and an itin erary of their trip beyond Denver has not been arranged. It is known, how ever, that several speeches will be made in Colorado, and it is expected that invitations will be received there from a large number of cities where they will be requested to address mass meetings and expound the doctrines of the new party. While the matter has not been definitely determined, it is more than likely that the party, under the chaperonage of Senator Jones, will continue their trip through Nevada, California, Washington, Oregon, Mon tana and Idaho. A special point, it is said, will be made to spend some time in Utah, and leave no stone unturned which might contribute to the election of two silver senators from that new state, and possibly place it in the fourth party column at the next na tional election. Utah, at this stage of the game, would be quite a valuable addition. THE DOVER TRAIN ROBBERS. The Gang; Doubllnsr on Their Tracks and Stealing Horses as They Go. Hennessey, Ok., April 11. The gang of Dover train robbers have inaugu rated a reign of terror in the northern portion of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country. They have apparently doubled on their tracks. They rode south, and stole three horses from Wil liam Lindley. He says one of the men was named Christian, and was badly wounded, and had to be tied to his horse. Near here two more armed men joined tbem. It is not known if these are robbers or not, but supposed to be, as seven men were concerned in the robbery. They stopped at the stock farm of Flescherman Bros., and took two of their blooded horses. The marshals passed through Viles about two hours after the bandits had left, mounted on fresh horses. NO CHANGE WANTED. Residents of Newfoundland Opposed to Confederation with Canada. Halifax, N. S., April 11. Cable grams from St. Johns, N. F., state that the people of Outer Cove, Middle Cove, Flat Rock and Torhay, outlying settle ments near St. Johns, Tuesday held public meetings and adopted the fol lowing resolution and signed petitions to the same effect: Resolved. That the people of these settle ments are unanimous y opposed to a confeder ation with Canada: that with us it is not a question of terms, but a matter of principle; that we are content with our present form of government, and at no time have we ever sig nified a desire to have it altered or authorized a confederation: tUat we will use all lawful means to oppose such and we appeal to the government and council to aid us in doing so. THE MINE DISASTER. Twenty-three Men Were Killed tn the Blue Canyon Oaly Two Miners Escaped. Seattle, Wash., April 11. A special from Whatcom, Wash., says that twenty-three men were killed in the explo sion in the Blue Canyon mine. Only two of all who were in the mine when the explosion occurred lived to tell the story of the frightful catastrophe and their own miraculous escape. The dis aster was undoubtedly caused by the accumulation of fire damp, which was exploded by a blast in the breast of the gangway. Struck Dead. Philadelphia, April 11. The bodies of Sadie Stinger, aged 12 years, and AVilliam Bradley, aged 13, were found to-day under a tree at the edge of a grove. Both were terribly burned and it is supposed that they were struck by lightning during a heavy storm which prevailed yesterday afternoon. They left their homes to search for wild flowers and, being caught in the storm, it is thought they sought shelter be neath the tree. None of the trees near-by had been struck by lightning. American Rice Growers Alarmed. Savannah, Ga. April 11. Heavy im portations of rice through this port from Japan are causing a sensation and feeling of uneasiness among the rice planters of this section. In the last two months nearly 3,000 pounds of rice raised at Bassoin, Japan, have been brought in through the Savannah cus tom house and sold at a price, exclusive of duty, of about 2 cents per pound. The rice was first sent to Germany to be milled and was then sent to this country. Punshon Sentenced to Be Hanged. St. Joseph, Mo., April 11.' Judge Casteel to-day refused a new trial to Thomas Punshon, convicted of mur dering his wife January 5, 1894, and fixed the date of hanging at May 23. An appeal to the supreme court was taken. This is the second trial Pun shon has had. The first time he was sentenced to twenty years in the peni tentiary. The New Orleans Strike. New Orleans, April 11. The first break in the white screwmen or cotton loaders' strike, which has caused such trouble on the levee in New Orleans for months past, occurred yesterday, when a large number of men agreed to work for any employer, whether a member of the union or not, and with the negroes. Cremation Not Christian. Philadelphia, April 11. The late Charles II. Reisser, a high mason, had always desired to be cremated. The grand master of Pennsylvania, Jndge Arnold, has rendered a decision that cremation was not Christian burial under masonic law, and the family de cided to abandon their original inten tion.

APOLOGY AND MONEY England is Very Bold to Little Nicaragua. All She Wants is Atonement for Wronsr. SORRY ISN'T ENOUGH. She Wants a Payment of Her Just Dues. London, April 11. In regard to the report which has reached here from New York that the British sloop of war Wild Swan has joined the Royal Ar thur, the flagship of the British Pacific 6quadron, at Panama, preparatory to their expected departure for Corinto. Nicaragua, to enforce the ultimatum of Great Britain demanding $75,000 in demnity for the expulsion from Nica ragua of Mr. Hatch, the British con sular agent at Bluefields, it is stated that the announcement is premature. At the admiralty yesterday, in answer to questions on the subject, it was said that no orders had been given to the Wild Swan or Royal Arthur which would warrant the statements made. The Times yesterday, in an editorial on the situation, says: "If we are compelled to collect the customs Nic aragua will, presumably, have to pay the costs of the collection in addition to the indemnity. She will find it less troublesome and cheaper to settle with us forthwith. Her efforts to excite the jealousy of America have failed. The justice and good sense of the Ameri cans have proved too strong for the success of these characteristic man euvers. The Americans should only hear our case and demands to acknowl edge that our conduct was reasonable and just, to admit that our claims were of such a character as they would themselves have made under similar circumstances. We have assured America that we are not seeking fresh territory. Our object is to obtain an adequate apology for a wrong done and the payment of the compensation we believe to be our due." CUBAN INSURGENTS VICTORIOUS. Tampa, Fla., April 11. Late reports from Havana assert that the steamer Manuilita has just arrived from Santi ago with more than 300 wounded Span ish soldiers. .They were taken to the hospitals there because the hospitals at Santiago are crowded. A letter from Santiago mentions a battle at Trosenes, near the Canto river, in which the Span ish Gen. Salcedo, with 1,000 men, en gaged a band of the revolutionists un der Rabi. The Spanish loss was said to be -380, while the Cuban loss was 4 killed, and 39 wounded. The Spanish troops were mostly boys, the let ter states, and in the battle pity was taken on many who were caught and their lives were spared. Maceo has organized a large force in Santiago province. Since his arrival 800 soldiers who fought under him in the former revolution have joined him. They are principally from Majaguabo, Maceo's old home. THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. Washington, April 11. The cable reports that seven of the eight terms of peace between China and Japan have been agreed on occasions much speculation here as to the eight terms on which Japan insists. The Japanese officials say they have no in formation of the eight conditions There is no doubt, however, that five of the most essential conditions are those given in these dispatches at the outset of the negotiations, viz. A new Japanese treaty, conceding Japan extra territorial courts in China, but denying the latter country extra territorial courts in Japan; independ ence of Corea; an indemnity of about 8200,000,000; occupation of Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei for a term of years; cession of the island of Formosa. The five terms are now fully confirmed by the later developments of the confer ence. Three additional ones have now been added, and these, it is believed, relate to trade matters. Which one of these eight terms of peace is the cause of delay is not known here. RECOVERING THE VICTIMS. A Messenger Boy's Body Recovered from Wheeling;' Rained Building. Wheeling, XV. Va., April 11. A large force of men have been at work all day clearing away the debris of the ruined buildings of T. T. Hutchison and Chapman Son, which fell recent ly, but the progress was necessarily slow. Only one body was re covered to-day, which was that of Harry Cowl, the messenger boy, who was buried in the alley. He was found standing upright, with his arms elevated above his head, as if to ward oft the falling bricks. Three bodies, those of Robert Wincher, Eugene Birch and Michael Horan, are still in the ruins of the Hutchison building. The stubborn fire still burns among the debris. Iowa Women Cannot Vote. Cedab Rapids, Ia., April 11.

Subscribe for the Daily Stats Jocbhal THE CHASE INVESTIGATION. The Investigating; Committee Continues Their Inquiry Into the Warden's Con duet. Leavenwobth, Kan., April 1L The Chase investigating committee met yesterday morning at 8 o'clock and proceeded to the prison to examine a number of the convicts there as to their treatment. Soon after arriving at the penitentiary the question came up as to whether the warden and deputy warden would punish convicts who gave testimony, if such testimony caused them to deviate from the prison rules. The committee asked Deputy Warden Markum to make a statement to them that the prisoners should not be punished for any infrac tion of rules which might be devel oped by them in testifying. This the deputy warden declined to do. He said that it was his own business and he reserved the right to punish con victs as he chose in the regular manner prescribed for infraction of prison rules. The committee then decided to postpone the examination of convicts for a time and adjourned to the Elnora hoteL The first witness examined was Deputy W7arden Markum, who de scribed the manner of punishing pris oners, including solitary confinement process and the "blind cells." Attorney Waters for the defense said that he intended that a thorough in vestigation should be made and that every officer should tell his own story. He said he was anxious to bring the matter to an end, as business was press ing him. Several others testified, but nothing of importance was developed. INCOME TAX REGULATIONS. Treasury Officials Will Soon Have the Sup plemental Instructions Ready. Washington, April 11, The income tax officials expect to complete their supplementary regulations to-day. All of the main points to be covered have been practically agreed upon, and the commissioner expects to put them in proper form. There seems to be no question that all taxes, whether state, county or municipal, or whether on personal or real property, except such as are in tended to directly benefit the property taxed, such as street improvement taxes, may be deducted from the income to be returned. As to rents from mixed property, such as a furnished hotel, the com missioner will no doubt hold that the owner must himself separate the taxable from the non-taxable, and state the proportion of rents derived from each. In making returns tax payers will be obliged to state in de tail what the exemptions are, includ ing the amount of rents received, and on what particular property. TOWNSITE BOAR DS. Petitions from Oklahoma Requesting: the Secretary of the Interior to Abolish Them. Washington, April 11. Petitions from towns in Oklahoma having town site boards have reached the interior department asking that the boards be dispensed with and suggesting that the business attended to by the boards can be transacted better by probate judges or other officials named for the duty by the secretary of the interior. The fact that the members of the boards are not citizens of the towns; that they form no part of the population would indicate that the boards, as organizations, cannot at tend to the duties incumbent upon them with the same care shown by residents made responsible to some de gree to the citizens whose interests they handle. In many towns the boards indulge in vexatious and tire some delays; they pile up costs on con tests, a large part, of which the mem bers of the boards receive personally by way of fees. COYOTE DICK DEAD. Murderer of Hattie Maynes Dies In the Huntsvllle, Tex., Fen. Denison, Tex., April 11. Dick Ed wards, alias Billy Leroy, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Hattie Haynes, committed here on the night of May 17, 1892, and sentenced to life im prisonment, died in Huntsville prison. It was believed that Edwards killed three of the women and wounded the fourth on that eventful night. He maintained his innocence to the last, and when approached for a confession replied that he had nothing to say, and died with the secret locked in his heart. Consumption was the cause of death after two months' confinement. Strike In a Carpet Mill. Philadelphia, April lL Two hun dred men employed in the tapestry de partment of John and James Dobson's carpet mills at the Falls of Schuylkill have gone on a strike because of the refusal of the firm to restore the scale of wages paid before a 15 per cent, re duction was made about a year ago. There is talk among the men of closing down the whole plant, which employs about 1,800 hands. Street Car Strikers Sentenced. Brooklyn, April 11. Judge Moore, in the court of sessions yesterday after noon sentenced twelve of the prisoners who had been found guilty of rioting during the recent strike on the trolley lines. The sentences ranged from sixty days to one year and three months, the heaviest being for cutting trolley wires. All were sent to the peniten tiary.

My name Is Morgan Grenoble, and today I have reached the turning point of my thirtieth year. People say that I look "odd," with almost snow white hair, and wonder how it came to be thus to one so young. Eight years ago, on the 29th of this very month, I stood at the altar With Laura Conistock. I was a telegraph operator and was sta tioned at Wayburg, a station 20 miles from Stockton, and at the terminus of the then D. G. and C. R. railway. Returning from our honeymoon I lef my wife in Stockton and proceeded to Warburg, intending to remain at my old post until relieved, which I thought would be In a few days, as my offered resignation had been accepted at headquarters. The engineer on the "up" train was Mark Moore, a rather handsome young fellow, who had been my rival for the hand of the woman I called my wife. When the train stopped at Moreland's, I alighted from the passenger coach and walked forward to the engine. Mark was busily engaged oiling the machinery. "How are you, Morgan?" he said as he espied ine and held out- his hand. His disappointment seemed to have left him, and he was very pleauat. "Going to Way burg?" "Yes." "Just get in with me, then," he said. I replied that I would do so, and when the train moved away I was occupying a seat in the engine, chatting with the engi neer. "One hardly notices the ascent, but the descent is an entirely different thing. I was thinking, Morgan, what a terrible thing it would be if an engine, with full" power on, were to become unmanageable at the top of the grade and dash away." "And if a man bent on revenge were to place a fellow creature bound on the en gine, what a terrible death ha would has ten to, with almost lightning rapidity!" Tha following night was dark and tem pestuous, and I alone occupied the station, watching the little machine before me. That day a new engine had arrived, and Mark Moore had been put in charge of it. From 3 o'clock in the afternoon to 5 I saw him moving about the engine. Until 10 I watched the little machine. Then Mark opened the door and stepped into the small apartment. "Are you receiving a dispatch, Morgan he asked. "No, Mark. Why do you ask?" "Because if you are not I wish you would leave the clickers a bit and conio and look at my Rod Bird by lantern light. I am going to run down grade to Chal mers, reverse the engine and run back. The train will not be due here for an hour, and I can go to Chalmers and return within 20 minutes." We walked into the great temporary shed where the new and beautiful engine stood, ready to run off at the command of its master. "I dare not be so long absent from my post at this hour, Mark." "Pooh, man, there's no danger. You must go with me." "But I cannot, Mark." He put his lantern on the ground and then sprang erect. "You shall, Morg Grenoble!" he cried, and before I could answer him' he dashed me to the earth and planted his knees on my breast. "Not a word out of you, Morg," he said fiercely, producing a rope. "I'll tell you what I'm going to do. You know we' were discussing the consequences attend ing the rush of a maddened engine down the grade. I reckon I won't go to Chal mers, but will send you clear to the bot tom of the grade." "Mark Moore, you are mad," I said. Would you murder me In cold blood and others who are coming up on the 11:10 passenger?" "Yes," he said coldly. I might have resisted, but resistance would have availed me nothing, for I was constitutionally weak, while he was a lion. "There!" he said at last as he closed the furnace door. "Everything is ready for your ride. You'll go right through Stock ton, but I reckon you won't have time to stop to speak to loving Laura. Goodby, Morg. Write when you gut to the foot of the grade." The engine was moving, and he leaped off. "May heaven have mercy on your souL Mark Moore!" I shouted after him. The grade between Wayburg and Chal mers was quite steep, and before I reached the little town the speed of the Red Bird and its tender seemed to rival that of ihi telegraph. The towns, with their glimmering lights, appeared and were gone In a flash. The manner In which 1 was bound per mitted me to look out of the window. I did so, and Stockton, the home of my wife, greeted me with its manly lights. Ahead I saw many people waiting for the 11:10 passenger. The next moment I was carried past them. I saw their astonished faces and heard a piercing shriek. I recognized the voice as my wife's. There was one hojie for me just one. Perhaps the operator at Stockton had telegraphed down the grade, and, thus warned, the coming. train would switch and save its passengers from death. Looking out, I saw far ahead the glaring headlight of the southern train. To me it looked as though it stood on my track. Evidently the train had not been warned. Suddenly I heard a man shout, "Stand backl" and then, crash! all was dark! "Is he injured much?" somebody asked. Sympathizing faces bent over me, and a surgeon was examining my wounds. "The ties stopped the engine," said the surgeon. "We received a telegram from Stockton informing us that the new engine was rutOiing down the grade. The south ern train was switched off upon its arrival here, and we set to work to pile innumera ble ties on the track, which, thank heaven, checked your mad career. "Telegraph to Stockton," I said, "to my wife." It seemed as though every bone In my body was broken, aud I cannot tell how I ever survived through the prostration that followed. But I did, to find my hair rivaling the spotless purity of the snow aud crow's feet on my youthful forfchead.

It Wasn't Settled By the Council Last Night. MATTER GOES OYER TO FRIDAY. Jew City Offlcr Announced aa An ticipated, by the "Journal." The council wrestled long and earn estly with the dam question last night and left it no nearer solution than they were at the start The attorneys of the opposing companies were present aa well as several of the well known people of Topeka to talk for and against giving the upper company an alternative contract for 600 horse power. The ball was opened by Judge Guth rie, who talked against giving the new company a contract for power. Then George M. Noble addressed the council. "I look at this as a business prop osition," said he. "I would not let a contract for a building and then do a thing that would hamper the contractor, and prevent him from carrying out his contract, and still that is what this coun cil seems disposed to do. I very much doubt whether these men have the money to build this dam. People who have money do not run around trying to and dams to build. As a city, we don't want to do anything dishonorable, and the council has already made one con tract and can not afford to make another until that has expired." P. G. Noel said: "I don't think that the city has any right to make a con tract with this new company while an other i in force. The credit of the city will suffer from such an action and you gentlemen cannot afford to do it" Judge N. F. Handy said: "I am sim ply a citizen and have no more interest in one of these companies than in the other. Mr. Bartholomew has my sympathy for what they have tried to. But it seems to me that these people who are asking for this contract should be given an opportu nity to build this dam if they want to. The contract is only good after the other has expired, and I fail to see how the granting of this contract can injure them. I know little of the men who are in this company but I do know one of them, Mr. Sessions of Ionia, Michigan, and I can truthfully say that he could build the dam himself if he were so disposed." Judge Day, Mr. Downey, Mr. Bartholo mew and H. E. McAfee made speeches. Councilman Bradford made a long speech in opposition to making a con tract with the new company until the contract with the Bartholomew company expires. He said that the legislature in 1893 had given to Samuel T. Howe and two other men a franchise and the right to cross the asylum grounds but no franchise had been granted to this company. He also said that con gress had granted a franchise to a Col orado corporation but none to a Kansas corporation such as this company is. "1 shuold not object to granting this fran chise if the city were released from the other, but being bound by the other I do not see how the city can consistently give this contract to auother company," said he. "It is clear to my mind that the upper dam company, as we call it, is asking for these provisions and urging the city council with all possible speed to pass such ordinances as they desire, that they may use them as a club to pre vent capital coming to the city, the very thing that the people desire. Their whole conduct, to me, is evidence of bad faith; and a dog-in-the-manger-policy. "1 tnink the time has come for the citi zens of 1 opeka to instruct their council- men what they want done in this matter. If it is the will of the people of the city that I shall cast my vote to place in the nancu of a rival company a club with which to beat the life out of its com petitor, then I shall reluctantly obey. I have been in favor of, and have said, that if the upper dam company would allow its contract and ordinance to lie in the hands of the council until the 4th day of June, and if at that time the lower dam company have not in good faith com menced operations, that then they should have my vote and influence in procuring: every legal franchise that the city could prudently give. In this, 1 am satisfied that I am sustained by the taxpayers and business men of this community." Councilman Stephenson said that it was not a question of law, but a question of whether the council cn afford to eo back on its word. "I am a taxpayer," said he, "and a friend of both comDanies, and I want to see the council do what is to the best interests of the city. I have heard this financial wind for six years, and I am tired of it If some one will build a dam, I am for them, but I do not see what the council can do until the other contract expires." Councilman Skinner thought that the old company had been given ample op portunity to build a dam, and had not done so, and he was in favor of giving the new company a trial. Councilman Bradford's motion to post pone action until June 5 was lost, only he and Stephenson voting for it After some further discussion the whole matter went over until next Fri day evening. NEW CITY OFFICERS. They Were Made Last Night as An nounced in the Journal. No one was surprised when the mayor announced the following appointments: W. H. Barnes, city engineer; James Ramsey, street commissioner; John B. Marshall, superintendent of electric lights; J. P. Farnsworth, food inspector; M. R Mitchell, city physician. G. O. Wilmarth was also named as fire mar shal. The city engineer's salary was placed at $1U0 by previous understanding, and the superintendent of the electric light plant must work for the same salary. The city physician was appointed with the understanding that he must hare an office in the city building. The appointments were confirmed without discussion or opposition, as the council had agreed upon the gentlemen namea at a conference. It occasioned some surprise that no more appointments were made, but it is understood that the mayor will make the rest of the appointments soon. COUNCIL COMMITTEES. Burgess Is Placed at the Bead of the Ways and Means Committee. The mayor announced the appoint ment of the following committees at the council meeting last night: Ways and Means Burgess, Bradford, Stephenson. Fulton, Pattison.

The plans for the new water works were submitted and ordered tiled. The bond of City Treasurer Charles S, Elliott for $50,000 was approved. The Bank of Topeka and the First Na tional bank were named as the city re positories. The city engineer presented a plan to prevent the flooding of Shunganunga creek by restoring the grade on Topeka avenue next to the creek. The city engineer reported that the grades have not been established west of Buchanan street and he submitted a plan for the improvement of Tenth avenue. "Candy Jim" asked for permission to sell his candy without paying a license and the committee on licenses will con sider his petition. The same committee will decide whether Samuel Emmons may peddle a "hair renewer" without paying the usual fee. THE SAJiTE FE HOSPITAL. It Till Soon be Ready but all Arrange ments are not Completed. The mansard roof of the new Santa Fe hospital is about ready to be put on. The pressed brick story is rapidly as suming proportions that warrant it and it will only be a question of two or three months till the main hospital of the San ta Fe will be smiling on the employes of the road with a smile almost inviting from its location at the corner of Sixth and Jefferson streets. Dr. Uogeboom the chief surgeon of the road says the hospital will not be a very large affair to start with in point of business and it will probably be two or more years before the capacity of the institution will be tested. To begin with only three surgeons will have offices in the building, the same that are now located at Topeka Dr. Hogeboom, Dr Gibson and Dr. Eggleston. Besides these there will be a prescrip tion clerk, and probably an assistant They will have charge of a complete line of drugs, and do the dispensing for all of the hospitals on the Santa Fe rail road. The hospital when completed will be capable of taking care of about eighty patients in the building. There will be an ambulance of the latest pattern. MItS. THORP PS FRIES DS.

PRICE IN MEXICO. Soma Trouble About His Invest ments in That Country BUT SEEMS TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY And One to the Shortcoming; and 111 Fortune of Other Peopla Mome Facta in the Matter. Mr. John R Price the well known To peka contractor who resides at the corner of Ninth and Western avenue is now in Old Mexico looking after his extensive business interests in that country. It has been rumored that Mr. Price was having trouble with his investments there, and was in danger of losing a large sum of money. The facts do not seem to warrant some of the gloomy stories put in circu lation. A few years ago Mr. Price as a con tractor constructed a large portion of the railroad known as the Monterey Gulf railroad. The campaoy issned bonds in payment of his claim which was between $100,000 and 200,000. Before the bonds held by Mr. Price were due, the company went into the hands of a receiver and he will now have to wait for the settlement of the affairs of the company in the courts before he can get his money. It is understood, however, that Mr. Price was made a preferred creditor and his attorneys are confident that he will get his monoy just as soon as the court can' get the affairs of the road straightened out. In addition to his railroad, interests in Mexico Mr. Price owns a large ma chine shop and foundry plant located at Monterey, which has been making him lots of money through the concessions he holds from the Mexican government for the state of .Nuevo Leon, of which Monterey is the capital. Ihe value of this foundry and machine shop plant is variously estimated at from $lo0,000 to S3J0.0U0, and it furnished one of the finest portions of the ma chinery exhibit at the World's fair. About a year and a half ago ex-Mayor R L. Cofran went to Monterey to look over this plant with the view of becom ing superintendent of it, but he did not accept the offered position, as it would have compelled him to give up his resi dence in Topeka ihis machine shop and foundry plant was bonded when it was constructed and on account of his failure to get Lis money out of the Gulf Ss Monterey railroad, when it was due, Mr. Price has not been able to meet the machine shop bonds as they came due. His friends are of the opinion that he will before a great while be able to get his money out of the railroad and pay off the machine shop bonds. Mr. D. W. Mulvane spent several weeks in Mexico this spring looking after Mr. irrice s legal interests. A CHILLY WARMING. Speakers Disappoint h Small Gathering at the New Flambeau Hall. It wss a rather chilly house warming: that the Keuubiican flambeau club had at its new rooms above 627 Kansas avenue last evenine. Only forty persons were pres ent, twelve of whom were ladies. It is somewhat remarkable that there were not more present A splendid programme had been pre pared, but Congressman Curtis, J. G. Waters, General Caldwell, Mrs. A. S. Thurston and the Modocs all failed to appear. It was necessary to call for vol unteers, and D. C. Tillotson, Charles Swanson, Peter Heil and Mrs. Jennie Wtlcox of the Woman s Republican club made happy addresses. W. F. Schook, a new comer, also talked. I. A Straus recited an original poem entitled '"The Dutchman's First Sight of the Flambeaux." It was very good, and was applauded. Captain Fuller and Dan Wyatt sang some songs. Ihe following applications for mem bership were received: Messrs. D. F. Wyatt, Ft. O. McKeever, i rank Brooks, D. N. Burdge, J. Wilcox and W. F. Schook. L A Straus, J. S. Stanton and John Norton were elected delegates to assist President H. M. Phillips in representing the Flambeau club at the meeting of the state league on the 25th. The al ternates were: John Dudley, George 11. Porter and C. D. Watson. The ladies of the Women's Republican club were asked to hold their meetings in the new hall, and accepted. The programme committee was con tinued, and another attempt will be made to warm the new room on Wednes day evening, April 24. Union Pacific At eat.

The advantage of the state's carrying its own loans is made apparent in the transfer this week of 36,500 from the general revenue fund to the state school fund in liquidation of state bonds held by the school fund. The interest on these bonds has all been kept within the state. But a small percentage of the state's indebtedness is held outside oar own borders. The school fund has the most of it, and $125,000 of Shawnee county bonds besides. A movement is on foot in Atchison to .secure the abolition of the police board.

The metropolitan police law was enacted for the sole purpose of securing the enforcement of the prohibi tory law. It has been a failure every where except in this city. Why then should the people of Atchison, Leaven worth, Kansas City, Ft Scott and Wichita be put to the expense of maintaining it. The Wilson County Citizen should read up a little before he undertakes to fliscuss the country's finances. He says there is six hundred million dollars more money in the country now than there was in 1873. As a matter of fact there is not that amount of money in the country all together. Nothing is money but gold, and there is not that much gold, aco3rding to the treasury reports. All the other circulating medium con sists of notes, or other promises to pay. Silver is no longer money, silver certifi cates are not money, coin certificates are not money,gold certificates are not money, (egal tenders are not inoney,national bank cotes are not money.

Los Angeles, CaL, April 11. It is possible that overland passenger rates may be slashed in consequence of the Southern Pacific having given notice that it will withdraw from the sale of tickets to St Paul and Minnesota points by way of El Paso, Fort Worth and Kan sas City and also by way of Ogden and Kansas City. This is a direct blow at the Texas Pacific, Missouri, Kansas Texas, and the Rock Island, also the Missouri Paci fio from Pueblo, Cola The Santa Fe has not shown any intention of following the lead of the Southern Pacific, so its aecond class will remain at $47.90 to St Paul and Minnesota points, while the Southern Pacific rate will be $54.20.

Cheap Wall Paper At Kellam's. ENRIQUE DUPUY DE LOME.

Epain's New Minister Is a Veteran Diplo mat of Twenty-five Tears Experience. The only trouble with Senor Murua ga, late Spaaish minister to the United States, was the fact that he talk ed too much at an inopportune time. When the Allianca was fired upon by a Spanish warship, he freely criti cised the state department at Washington and made himself so generally obnox ious that the 6KNOB de Lome. United States would doubtless have, suggested his re call had ha not forestalled such an act by resigning. His successor, Enrique Dupuy da Lome, is a diplomat of 25 years' experience and will not make the mistakes that rendered his predecessor so conspicuous. He has been Spanish minister to the United States before and is very popular in Washington and in Chicago, where he officiated during the World's fair as Spanish royal commis sioner general and did much to make the exhibit of Spain a conspicuous fea ture of the great exposition. Senor de Lome was born in Valencia in August, 1851, and his grandfather was one of Napoleon 'b generals, it is said, and settled in Spain after his army career closed. The minister's father was the first man to introduce steam machinery into Spain in connection with silk manufacture and was a volu minous contributor to the literature of his time. Senor de Lome began his diplomatio career in the state department in 1869 and has since served his country in Ja pan, Belgium, France, Germany, Uru guay, the United States and other coun tries. In 1882 he was first secretary of the Spanish legation in Washington, and when Minister Barca committed suicida became charge d'affaires. In September, 1892, he became envoy ex traordinary and minister plenipotentia ry to the United States and served his country in this office for eight months. During his stay in Washington he and his beautiful wife became very popular in society and will be warmly welcomed upon their return to the capital. Min ister de Lome speaks English fluently and is described as a man of great en ergy and nervous force. A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK. XJlie His Father, Sir Charles Hibbert Tap per Is a Great Canadian Statesman. Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, whoso threatened resignation as minister of justice created such a stir in Canadian politics a few days ago, is one of the foremost statesmen in the Dominion. He was burn in Nova Scotia in 1855 and ia a descendant of Virginia tories who removed to Nova Scotia when the American colonies threw off the English yoke. He was brought up in an atmos phere of politics, and it is related that SIR CHARLES HIBBEHT TUFPEB. when he was a mere child he would get up on a chair or table before his father, Sir Charles Tupper, who was later high commissioner for Canada in England, and deliver an address on the affairs of the day. He was educated at McQill college, Montreal, and studied law at Harvard. Shortly before his examina tion at Harvard he broke his leg while wrestling, and his friends felt certain that his chances for winning his LL. B. were over for the time being. Young Tupper, however, did not allow such a trifle as a broken leg to stand in his way and carried on his studies in bed. When examination time came, his leg was still immovable as a log in its plas ter cast and gave him great pain, but he took a ten days' examination in bed and secured his coveted degree. He then returned to Nova Scotia and began the practice of law. In 1882, when he was only 27 years old, ho was elected to parliament. He made his mark in the house of commons and mar ried the daughter of Hon. James McDon ald, chief justice of Nova Scotia. After five years of notable work in the com mons, during which he demonstrated unmistakably that he was "a chip of the old block, "he was made minister of marine and fisheries by Premier Sir John Macdonald. He was a prominent figure in the Bering sea arbitration, and in September, 1893, his yeoman service for Great Britain and Canada was rewarded by the queen, who knight ed him. He is one of the youngest Cana dians ever knighted, and with the ex ception of the late Sir John Macdonald is the youngest man who ever held the office of privy councilor. His elder brother, Stewart Tupper, ia a lawyer ia Winnipeg. Well man's Idea In the French Navy. Aluminium launches are to be tried in the French navy on a large scale.

A Gourdain, the New Orleans man charged with using the mails for lottery purposes, was convicted by a jury in the federal court last evening, and this morning Judge Foster sentenced him to the Shawnee county jail for sixty days and fined him $500. Gourdain is the man who had nearly all the bankers in New Orleans sum moned to testify in i his case. They did not come because no provision had been made to pay their way and Gourdain went to trial without any witnesses. He insisted upon conducting his own case, though he is not a lawyer, and was frequently re proved by Judge Foster. When he found that be had been convicted he employed R. B. Welch to make an argument for a new trial. This was done this morning, and Judge Foster immediately overruled the motion. Mr. Welch asked for the clemency of the court, but Judge Foster said that the case was not one which appealed to his sympathy and he made the fine as large as it could be made. Gourdain claims that he is the victim of the Honduras lottery and that they are persecuting him through the United States court He' says that he is the man who was reponsiele for driving the old Louisiana lottery out of the state. Gourdain is a small man with very dark complexion and a long wavy black moustache. He wears diamonds and has an easy, independent air. He looks like a member of the sporting fraternity but poses as the president of a security com pany. He has given uo notice of appeal and may spend some time in the county jail. There are other cases pending againBt Gourdain. CHOLERA IN JAPAN. The Southern Part of the Island is Threat ened With an Epidemic Victoria, B. C, April 11.

King and Beaman, who are interested in the reorganization of the Santa Fe railroad, nave been looking over the property. They were met here by Acting President D. B. Robin inson of the Santa Fe. Mr. Robinson denies the report that the Santa Fe will build 150 miles of line to make connec tion with the proposed railway from San Francisco southward and thus furnish an outlet for the Santa Fe on the coast. "There is every indication however," he said, "that the new road from San Fran cisco into southern California will be built." Mr. Robinson is of the opinion that the new Santa Fe company will be on its feet and in active operation by August. Xo Orator for Kansas.

St. Louis, April 1L A special to a morning paper from Washington says that the Cuban revolutionists will today formally announce the independence of the island and establish a republic, will proclaim a constitution, name their offi cers and ask the recognition first, of the United States and then of other nations. EXILES JUBILANT. They are Pleased With, the Reports from the Island. New York, April 11. A special dis patch to the VVorld from Kingston, Jam aica, says: The Cuban exiles are jubilant over news they receive from Cuba. Between ten and fifteen thousand in surgents were under arms at latest ac counts, fretting the Spanish forces with skirmishes and not attempting any mili tary operations. They are well armed and well supplied with money and pro visions. As has been already explain ed the plans of the revolution for the present are to have the forces so scattered all over the island as to keep the Spanish busy at widely distant points and bewilder them. Oen. Gomez, one of the real leaders, is either now in Cuba or on the eve of get ting there. When he is ready the real war for independence will begin. With his center at Santa Clara and a province around that readily lends itself to mil itary preparations, he will give the Spaniards all they want to do, he holding the richest of the provinces, while throughout the island insurgents will be keeping the enemy busy in details.

Memphis, Tenn., April 11. The report of the rvles committee of the turf con gress shewed evidence that an interest is taken in the horse by men who are not in favor with the congress and the St Louis Fairground association was no tified that the match race between Sim mons and Dr. Rice which was set for April 30, must not be allowed pending a settlement. No irregularities are charg ed against the horses, the question being simply one of ownership. The licensing for jockeys was raised from $3 to $5, and the rules were amend ed so as to prohibit jockeys owning horses from riding the horse of any other owner. By a close vote the congress decided that hereafter all selling races are to be claiming races. The ruling prohibiting any owner from entering more than one horse in a selling race was amended so that an owner may enter two horses in a selling stake race. The ruling providing that unless three horses shall start in a race, the race be declared off was amended, the requisite number of starters being changed to four. The rule disqualifying horses whose jockeys weigh in after the race with ex cess or underweight of more than two pounds, was amended, removing the pro vision for disqualification in the case of overweight, leaving the provision as to underweight as it now stand The rule providing that all bets are to be paid on a horse in the hands of the starter, was so amen led that in case a horse is injured at the post, all bets may be declared off and time allowed for a new book. One of the last subjects considered by the congress but one of the most im portant matters to come before it was that of its attitude toward the so-called "electric light" track. En terprises of this kind, it is under stood, are contemplated at Kansas City. St. Louis, Cincinnati, and a number of eastern points. The turf congress de cided by a practically unanimous vote not to recognize this class of racing, placing it in the same category as win ter racing. The next annual meeting of the con gress is to be held at St. Louis in October next, when officers will be elected for the ensuing year. WILL BE A CIRCCIT.

JTKINLEY IS TIRED. He Is Too Weary to Discuss Politics Mow. New York, April 11. Governor Win, McKinley of Onio, is at ttie Windsor hotel. He arrived in the city last even ing and will leave here early in the morning for Columbus. He said: "I had a pleasant time at Hartford, where I made an address before the McKinley club. I find politics lively in that state and from what I heard business is pick ing up." Keierring to tho recent election in Ohio, where the Democracy gained some important victories, Governor McKinley said: "I cannot explain the way things veered around. Ttie only thing can say is that it was the people, and the will of the people must prevail. I might enter into a long discussion of the situation, but I really do nut feel like talking about the matter." Gov. McKinley'a only comment on the income tax decision of the supreme court, was that he did not doubt that the court conscientiously decided the ques tion, and that in sustaining the tax they did what they believed to be riarlit. "Ohio," said Gov. McKinley, "is still in the ranks, and business is looking up all over the state. I am going right oacs: to Columbus, and I am too tired and deeply engaged in other matters to dis cuss politics generally. Congress is not in session, and there is nothing of mo ment before us just now." Will E. Burriss, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

The government crop report last evening shows that the winter wheat crop has suffered severely from contin ued drouth and severe cold weather, which did the most damage in Nebraska and Kansas. The market was quiet and featureless owing to the fact that tomorrow is a holiday, and only a short session Saturday. It held firm however, until about a half an hour before closing, when everybody sold on predictions of good rains, depressing the market about a half cent We look for a quiet market Saturday and expect it to open active next Monday and do better, and advise buying at these low prices and especially on this break.

It Wasn't Settled By the Council La3t Night. MATTER GOES OYER TO FRIDAY. Stew City Officers Aaioaaeed as An tiefpated by the "Jenraal." The council wrestled long and earn estly with the dam question last night and left it no nearer solution than they were at the start The attorneys of the opposing companies were present as well as several of the well known people of Topeka to talk for and against giving the upper company an alternative contract for t00 horse power. The ball was opened by Judge Guth rie, who talked against giving the new company a contract for power. Then George 51. Noble addressed the council "1 look at this as a business prop osition," said he. "I would not let a contract for a building and then do a thing that would hamper the contractor, and prevent him from carrying out his contract, and still that is what this coun cil seems disposed to da I very much doubt whether these men have the money to build this dam. People who have money do not run around trying to find dams to build. As a city, we don't want to do anything dishonorable, and the council has already made one con tract and can not afford to make another until that has expired." P. G. Noel said: "I don't think that the city has any right to make a con tract with this new company while an other is in force. The credit of the city will suffer from such an action and you gentlemen cannot afford to do it." Judge N. F. Handy said: "I am sim ply a citizen and have no more interest in one of these companies than in the other. Mr. Bartholomew has my sympathy for what they have tried to. But it seems to me that these people who are asking for this contract should be given an opportu nity to build this dam if they want to. The contract is only good after the other has expired, and 1 fail to see how the granting of this contract can injure them. I know little of the men who are in this company but I do know one of them, Mr. Sessions of Ionia, Michigan, and I can truthfully say that he could build the dam himself if he were so disposed." Judge Day, Mr. Downey, Mr. Bartholo mew and II. E. McAfee made speeches. Councilman Bradford made a long speech in opposition to making a con tract with the new company uutil the contract with the Bartholomew company expires. lie said that the legislature in 1893 had given to Samuel T. Howe and two other men a franchise and the right to cross the asylum grounds but no franchise had been granted to this company. He also said that con gress had granted a franchise to a Col orado corporation but none to a Kansas corporation such as this company is. "I shuold not object to granting this fran chise if the city were released from the other, but being bound by the other I do not see how the city can consistently give this contract to another company," aid he. "It is clear to my mind that the upper dam company, as we call it, is asking for these provisions and urging the city council with all possible speed to pass such ordinances as they desire, that they may use them as a club to pre vent capital coming to the city, the very thing that the people desire. Their whole conduct, to me, is evidence of bad faith, and a dog-in-the-raaager-policy. "1 tninK tne time has come for the citi zens of Topeka to instruct their council men what they want done in this matter. If it is the will of the people of the city that I shall cast my vote to place in the hands of a rival company a club with which to beat the life out of its com petitor, then I shall reluctantly obey. I Lave been in favor of, and have said, that if the upper dam company would allow its contrnct and ordinance to lie in the hands of the council until the 4th day of June, and if at that time the lower dam company have not in good faith com menced operations, that then they should have my vote and influence in procuring every legal franchise that the city could prudently give. In this, I am satisfied that I am sustained by the taxpayers and business men, of this community." Councilman Stephenson said that it was not a question of law, but a question of whether the council cm afford to go back on its word. "I am a taxpayer," said he, "and a friend of both companies, and I want to see the council do what is to the best interests of the city. I have heard this financial wind for" six years, and I am tired of it. If some one will build a dam, I am for them, but I do not see what the council can do until the other contract expires." Councilman Skinner thought that the old company had been given ample op portunity to build a dam, and had not done so, and he was in favor of giving the new company a trial. Councilman Bradtord's motion to post pone action until June 5 was lost, only he and Stephenson voting for it. After some further discussion the whole matter went over until next Fri day evening. NEW CITY OFFICERS. Thy Were Made X.sst Niht as An nounced In the Journal. No one was surprised when the mayor announced the following appointments: W. H. Barnes, city engineer; James Ramsey, street commissioner; John B. Marshall, superintendent of electric lights; J. P. Farnaworth, food inspector; M. R Mitchell, city physician. G. O. Wilmarth was also named as fire mar shal. The city engineer's salary was placed at $100 by previous understanding, and the superintendent of the electric light plant must work for the same salary. The city physician was appointed with the understanding that he must have an office in the city building. The appointments were confirmed without discussion or opposition, as the council had agreed upon the gentlemen uauiou u a conference. It occasioned some surprise that no more appointments were made, but it is understood that the mayor will make the rest of the appointments soon. COUXCII. COMMITTEES.

The plans for the new water works were submitted and ordered filed. The bond of City Treasurer Charles S. Elliott for $50,000 was approved. The Bank of Topeka and the First Na tional bank were named as the city re positories. The city engineer presented a plan to prevent the flooding of Bhunganunga creek by restoring the grade on Topeka avenue next to the creek. The city engineer reported that the grades have not been established west of Buchanan street and he submitted a plan for the improvement of Tenth avenue. "Candy Jim" asked for permission to sell his candy without paying a license and the committee on licenses will con sider his petition. The same committee will decide whether Samuel Emmons may peddle a "hair renewer" without paying the usual fee. THE SAME FE HOSPITAL. It Till Soon be Ready but all Arrange ments are not Completed. The mansard roof of the new Santa Fe hospital is about ready to be put on. The pressed brick story is rapidly as suming proportions that warrant it and it will only be a question of two or three months till the main hospital of the San ta Fe will be smiling on the employes of the road with a smile almost inviting from its location at the corner of Sixth and Jefferson streets. Dr. Hogeboom the chief surgeon of the road says the hospital will not be a very large affair to start with in point of business and it will probably be two or more years before the capacity of the institution will be tested. To begin with only three surgeons will have offices in the building, the same that are now located at Topeka Dr. Hogeboom, Dr Gibson and Dr. Eggleston. Besides these there will be a prescrip tion clerk, and probably an assistant. They will have charge of a complete line of drugs, and do the dispensing for all of the hospitals on the Santa Fe rail road. The hospital when completed will be capable of taking care of about eighty patients in the building. There will be. an ambulance of the latest pattern. MRS. THORPK'S FRIENDS.

Some Trouble About His Invest ments in That Country BUT SEEMS TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY Ana Dae to the Shortcomings aadlll Fortune r Other People Meme Pacta Ik the Matter. Mr. John R Price the well known To peka contractor who resides at the corner of Ninth and Western avenue i3 now in Old Mexico looking after his extensive business interests in that country. It has been rumored that Mr. Price was having trouble with his investments there, and was in danger of losing a large sum of money. The facts do not seem to warrant some of the gloomy stories put in circu lation. A few years ago Mr. Price as a con tractor constructed a large portion of the railroad known as the Monterey Gulf railroad. The company issued bonds in payment of his claim which was between $100,000 and $200,000. Before the bonds held by Mr. Price were due, the company went into the hands of a receiver and he will now have to wait for the settlement of the affairs of the company in the courts before he can get his money. It is understood, however, that Mr. Price was made a preferred creditor and his attorneys are confident that ho will get his money just as soon as the court can get the affairs of the road straightened out. In addition to his railroad interests in Mexico Mr. Price owns a large ma chine shop and foundry plant located at Monterey, which has been making him lots of money through the concessions he holds from the Mexican government lor tne state of JNuevo Leon, of which Monterey is the capital. The value of this foundry and machine shop plant is variously estimated at from $150,000 to $3,10,000, and it furnished one of the finest portions of the ma chinery exhibit at the World's fair. About a year and a half ago ex-Mayor R L. Cofran went to Monterey to look over this plant with the view of becom ing superintendent of it, but he did not accept the offered position, as it would have compelled him to give up his resi dence in Topeka. This machine shop and foundry plant was bonded when it was constructed and on account of his failure to get his money out of the Gulf Monterey railroad, when it was due, Mr. Price has not been able to meet the machine shop bonds aa they came due. His friends are of the opinion that he will before a great while be able to get his money out of the railroad and pay off the machine shop bonds. Mr. D. W. Mulvane spent several weeks in Mexico this spring looking after Mr. Price's legal interests. A CHILLY WARHING. Speakers Disappoint a Small Gathering- at the w Flambeau Hall. It was a rather chilly house warming that the Republican Flambeau club had at its new rooms above 6!7 Kansas avenue last evening. Only forty persons were pres ent, twelve of whom were ladies. It is somewhat remarkable that there were not more present A splendid programme had been pre pared, but Congressman Curtis, J. G. Waters, General Caldwell, Mrs. A S. Thurston and the Modocs all failed to appear. It was necessary to call for vol unteers, and D. C. Tillotson, Charles Swanson, Peter Ileil and Mrs. Jennie Wilcox of the Woman's Republican club made happy addresses. W. F. Schook, a new comer, also talked. I. A. Straus recited an original poem entitled "The Dutchman's First Sight of the Flambeaux." It was very good, and was applauded. Captain Fuller and Dan Wyatt sang some songs. The following applications for mem bership were received: Messrs. D. F. Wyatt, E. D. McKeever, Frank Brooks, D. N. Burdge, J. Wilcox and W. F. Schook. L A Strans, J. S. Stanton and John Norton were elected delegates to assist President 1L M. Phillips in representing the Flambeau club at the meeting of the state league on the 25th. The al ternates were: John Dudley, George H. Porter and C. D. Watson. The ladies of the Women's Republican club were asked to hold their meetings in the new hall, and accepted.

BOTH FALL LIFELESS. Whole Congregation Witnesses the Shocking Tragedy. Wichita, Kan., April 8. Under the shadow of the spire of the Lincoln Street Christian church of this city at noon yesterday a terrible tragedy oc curred before the eyea of the entire o.oncresration. On the sidewalk in o r a front of the church Walter Scott j fired a bullet into the brain of his wife and she fell at his feet a corpse. Three hundred peo ple were horror struck where they stood, and before a hand could be raised or a step taken Scott put the muzzle of the revolver between his teeth and fired a bullet through the roof of his mouth into his brains. He fell near her and husband and wife died side by side, almost in each other's arms, inside of two minutes from the firing' of the first shot. At the sight of the bloody tragedy two or three women fainted and terrible ex citement prevailed. A frightened man turned in a fire alarm which brought the department to the scene adding to the excitement. When Mrs. Scott was shot she was leaning on the arm of her brother. About twoyearsago the couple were married. He was only 19 and she was 17 and handsome. He became dissatis fied and about a year ago she left him. He then went to Kansas City, but re turned about a week ago. In the meantime she went to live with her father, who is superintendent of street work in this city. Yesterday morn ing Scott met an old friend on the street and Baid to him: "I have re formed. I am going to church and will be good." He went to the church above mentioned and saw his young wife in the congregation with her brother. When the service was over he followed them out and over took them at the foot of the steps. 'Are you coming back to live with me?" he asked. "No," was her reply. Then his eyes blazed with maniacal fire, he drew the pistol with a jerk, and in the twinkling of an eye he had a bullet in her brain. It is thought that he went to the church with the intention of kill ing her notwithstanding his declara tion to his friend, otherwise he would not have had the revolver in his pocket. He bought the weapon after arriving from Kansas City and said that he was about to go to Okla homa and would need it. Scott is a baker by trade and is well con nected, his father being a well known old settler of this city. Both bodies are lying side by side at the under taker's and will be buried side by side to-morrow. The affair caused great excitement here. Mrs. Scott was quite a handsome young woman and highly esteemed. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." The Aged Authoress of the Celebrated Book Quite 111. Hartford, Me., April 8. Almost 83 years of age and quite ill, it is not prob able that the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin'' will long survive. In fact her death is constantly expected. Her father was Lyman Beecher, for years president of Lane Theological seta- A"t "-i.it, HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. inary, situated at Walnut Hills, Cin cinnati, and it was there that she spent several years of her girlhood and part of her married life, and collected the material for her great story. After her marriage her husband, Prof. Calvin E. Stowe, beeame president of Bow- doin college and then they removed to Maine. Her sympathy for the slave mothers of the south was kindled by her own bereavement in the death of her child, and it was then the inspira tion came to her to do something to aid them and the plans for her book began shaping themselves in her mind. Her mental as we'll as her physical strength is failing, and many pathetic stories are told of the childlike life she leads at Hartford, her present home.

From Saturday's Last Edition. EL C. Corwin died a 8 o'clock last even ing of consumption. Mr. Corwin's old home was at Hamilton, O., and the body was taken there this afternoon for burial. It was announced in the Journal last evening that Mr. Corwin's death was only a question of a few hours, but until then very few or his friends realized the se riousness of his condition, though he has lor a long time been m failing health. The death of Mr. Corwin will not af fect the new dam company, of which he R9 StlK iaatoiy BIMETALLISTS CONTROL. The Prussian Hoam of Lords Not Affected By Gold i tea. Berlin, April 8. The Prussian house of lords has appointed a committee to consider Count von Mirbach's motion favoring an international regulation of the money standards. The fact that all the chambers of commerce in Ger many excepting four have now de clared for the gold standard does not affect the confidence of the bimetallists that Chancellor von Hohenlohe will carry out the negotiations for an inter national silver conference. IS EDUCATION'S HOSOR. Albaxt, N. Y., April 7. Gov. Mor ton by proclamation recommends that on next Tuesday every institution of learning in the state of New York de vote part of its session to exercises commemorative of the first education law.

It is the Orange Free State South Africa. EXPENSIVE TO LIVE. Persons Should Come Prepared to Spend Money. Washington, April 8. A new resort for consumptives has been discovered in the Orange Free state, South Africa. United States Consul Agent Lanfgraff, in a report to the state department, talks of the beneficial result ex perienced by persons who have tried it. He says: "No country on earth can rank with the Orange Free state as a health resort. Mr. Patter son had been all over the world and nowhere else found any relief. I could give numbers of similar cases and that so few people have come here is due to the fact that the Orange Free state is too little known and in most parts of the world believed to be a desert, inhabited by brutal natives and wild beasts. The country is pretty well populated and cultivated. Liv ing is rather expensive and persons coming here should command from $50 to 860 per month. A family of four or five persons can live decently on $1,500 per year. Persons whose lungs are far gone should travel by stages from the sea to the Orange Free state that is, such persons should stay for a month at Ceres, next at Beaufort West, etc., until they are prepared to stand the dry climate of the Orange Free state. A direct journey to Bloemf ontein would mean death to such persons. The land ing place is Capetown. ENGLAND WILL COLLECT DUTIES. Washington, April 8. Secretary Morton thinks the purpose of the Eng lish government in sending a battle ship to the Nicaraguan coast is to en force the demand which will probably soon be made for indemnification on account of the expulsion of Consul Hatch. If it is refused, the Royal Arthur will take the matter into hand and secure the indemnification by collect ing the customs duties on Nicaraguan imports. In that event, he thinks, Nicaragua's wisest course would be to convene her congress and pass a law for admission of all importations free of duty. In conclusion he said: "The other nations would never consent that their exporters to Venezuela should pay duty to England in the ab sence of a tariff in Nicaragua, and England's policy would be effectually blocked." NEWFOUNDLAND AND CANADA. London, April 8. The Times, in an article on Canadian-Newfoundland, says that "every commercial argument used in Canada in favor of federation with Newfoundland forces from the latter' s point of view is an argument against federation. Both Newfound land and Great Britain have some thing to lose by the confederation of Newfoundland and Canada. It is well, in the interests of everyone connect ed, that the opponents of federation should entertain no delusion. To en deavor to shift the responsibility for Newfoundland's misfortunes to the shoulders of the imperial government and to continue to ask reproachfully for help in a form which circumstances forbid, is absolute childishness." cholera decreasing. Washington, April 8. The report of Surgeon-General Wyman for this week shows that cholera is decreasing in Austria-Hungary, and that it has entirely disappeared from Galicia and Prussian Silesia. Dr. Cleary, United States sanitary inspector at Rio Janeiro, reports a general decrease of cholera in Brazil, except in the State of Espirito Santo, where there has been a marked increase, ninety cases occurring in one week in two villages alone. Japan's Terms of Peace. Paris, April 8. It is stated on reli- able authority that Japan has proposed the following conditions for the con clusion of peace: The independence of Corea; the cession of Southern Manchu ria, including Port Port Arthur; the cession of the island of Formosa; the opening of Chinese ports and rivers tc commerce; the payment of an indem nity of 400,000,000 yen, and the occupa tion of a Dumber of stragetic points until the indemnity shall have been paid.

Good work done by the Peerless WHY BEEF IS HIGHER. Dealers Say it is Caused by An Advance in Cattle. During the last six weeks the price of beef has increased so rapidly and so con stantly that the butchers, to say nothing of their patrons, are complaining. The butchers say it is not their fault nor the fault of the packers, but that the whole difficulty is due to the increase in the price of live cattle. A side of beef which in ordinary times, would have sold for 5J to 6 cents per pound now brings from 7 to 8 cents, and occasionally more. Cattle buyers say that the increase in the price of the best cattle would not justify an increase of 35 per cent in the price of meat, but the cheaper and medium grades of cattle bring enough more la the market to ustify the change. Keports come from the big rauges of a rise in prices and an increased demand. the advance is attributed to a hard win ter, scarcity of feed and a consequent reduction ia the number of marketable cattle. A3 soon as erass comes prices will probably decline. OKLAHOMA SAND STORMS. The Sun Obscured by the Whirling: Clouds and Business Almost Suspended. El Reno, Ok., April 8. This section has been visited for the last three days with a most terrible wind and sand storm, the wind at times reaching as high as 60 miles an hour, whirling the sand and dirt about in great clouds. Business has practically stopped and travel is greatly impeded. About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon a cloud of sand came up from the southwest that totally obscured the sun. The dark ness ef evening settled over the country. Buildings could not be seen 50 yards away and the sand was scat tered along as though sown broadcast from a great hand. The falling of the sand continued for more than an hour, and those out in it could hardly breathe. A Sensational Rumor. Leavenworth, Kan., April 8. The extraordinary story is current here on the authority of a democratic official of the penitentiary located at Lansing, this county, that the penitentiary was being filled with armed men by orders of Warden Seth W. Chase. It was said to be his inten tion to resist any attempt on the part of the governor to oust him from of fice which he expects as a result of the investigation to be concluded at the penitentiary this week. New Enterprise In Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., April 8.

His physicians give very little hope of his recovery, though the end is not expected at once. His son is with him constantly and his cousin, A. Mansur, of St. Louis, arrived yesterday morning. To Be Saved for Kansas. Washington, April 8. Secretary Smith will so far co-operate with the state of Kansas in regard to the Fort Hays reservation that he will prevent any action looking to its sale until after the next congress assembles and thus afford the state delegation an op portunity to again pass the Fort Hays bill through congress.

Dining on one occasion with Baron James de Rothschild, Eugene Dela croix, the famous French painter, kept bis eyes turned upon his host in so marked a manner that, when the com-, pany rose to leave the -dining-room,; Baron James could not help asking; his guest what it was that so attractedi his attention, says the Philadelphia Press. The painter confessed that for some time past he had vainly sought a head to serve as a model for that of a beggar he intended to hold a prominent posi tion in a painting on which he was then engaged, and that, as he gazed at his host's features, the idea sudden ly struck him that the very head he desired was before him. With this ex planation he ventured to ask the baron whether he would do him the favor to sit for him as the beggar. Rothschild, being a great admirer of art in all its forms, and pleased to be considered one of its chief patrons, readily consented to assume a char acter never before undertaken by a millionaire. The next day found him at the paint er's studio. Delacroix placed a tunic round his shoulders, put a stout staff in his hand, and made him pose as if he were resting on the steps of an ancient Roman family. In this attitude he was discovered by one of the artist's favorite pupils, who alone had free access to the studio at all times. Naturally concluding that the model had only just been brought in from some church porch, and never dream ing the character assumed by him was far from the true one, he seized an op portunity when his master's eyes were turned to slip a piece of money into the beggar's hand. Baron Rothschild thanked him with a look, and kept the money. The pupil soon quitted the studio. In answer to inquiries made Delacroix told the baron that this young man possessed talent, but no means; that he had, in fact, to earn his livelihood by giving lessons in painting and drawing. Shortly after the young fellow re ceived a letter stating that charity bears interest, and that the accumu lated interest on the amount that he had so generously given to one whom he supposed to be a beggar was repre sented by the sum of ten thousand francs, which was lying at his disposal at the Rothschild offices. DANGER IN TOYS. Those Sold on the Street May Convey Infection. The reading public is by this time fairly conversant with the ordinary sources of danger from contagion to which it is exposed, and it has been duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi nate use of hairbrushes and towels, and of the ear pieces of the phonograph; to touch not with ungloved hand the brass guiding rail of the street car, and to be suspicious even of the telephone transmitter. But, according to a med ical journal, the latest hazard in infec tion is confined to children. Many in genious toys are now offered on the sidewalks of city streets by itinerant venders. One of these is a tube of pa per, furnished with a short piece of bamboo at one end, up to which it is coiled by the action of a slight steel spring. On blowing into the bamboo the coil is unrolled and shoots out near ly a yard, and the sudden extension has a comical effect, very entertaining to the youthful mind. Another form of toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is made to emit its characteristic sounds by the pressure of air from a small rub ber ball which has been inflated by air blown from the mouth. Attention is called to the possible consequences of buying these toys, which are presented to a child after being inflated by ques tionable breath, and perhaps wetted with the moisture of the still more questionable lips of the vender. An in fected mouthpiece has been known to be the origin of grave constitutional troubles, and it seems strange that per sons who would hesitate to drink out of a glass that has been used will buy these toys and take them to their chil dren without thought of the disease by which they may have been contami nated. Among the impoverished mak ers and venders, sore throats, diphthe ria and contagious fevers in very early stages may be raging, and children may contract fatal diseases of even a worse character than any of these by using these toys. In perfect harmony and unanimity rises the chorus of praise for Dr. Price's Baking Powder. IN THE KANSAS FURROWS. Oat fields are getting green. Thursday, April 11, ia Arbor Day. J. S.

'(3) e TUe Athletic Girl. It is a cheering feature of the new woman movement that the athletic girl is corning to the front in a prompt and sprightly manner. For a long time she has been the attractive heroine of fiction. Now she is the equally attractive her oine of fact. Hitherto it has been the English girl who has been held up as the model for the American girl to fol low in all departments of physical cul ture. Now the American girl ia fast demonstrating her physical superiority over her red cheeked English cousin. All adinirws of gracious, attractive, robust womanhood will rejoice that the hothouse camellias at last are in process ef beiDg replaced by vigorous outdoor rosea The day has gone by, let us hope forever, when a school or academy or university education of the American girl meant a smattering of the classics and modern languages, maltreatment of the piano, some Delsarte foolishness of deportment and the cultivation of frills to fit them for drawing rooms, the outcome being an artificial, languid, flaccid, pale faced creature entirely out of place anywhere outside of the society hothouse. Another creature has taken her place. She has as good an education as the girl of the old times, and she has besides this the boon of health and Btrength adding to her sweet whole someness. Chicago Tribune. Women's Rights In Germany. Only in so far as the legal position of the married woman must exercise a moral influence on the life of the un married ia it necessary to say a word of the legal foundation of marriage in Germany. It rests entirely on the view of the superiority of man, of the subor dination of woman. Even the notion that she is beugbt by her husband sur vives, ia however slight a form, in the ceremony of betrothal. Her husband ia her master, her guardian, her natural supporter. Above all he is her educator. She shares his rank, his name, his dig nities, his fortune, but without bim she cannot administer her own. "In the domain of all she remains a subject," Sohm argues, "and if she reigns at all it must be by tha free will of man. In the country like Germany, where, in all matters connected with moral and intellectual life, the links of tradi tion hava never been severed, the pres ent is explained by the past. Disdainful silence is the mildest form of criticism opponents will offer whenever on the platform cr frana the professional chair the attempt is made to plead in favor of women's political rights. On this point all the female advocates of the emancipation of their sex are nnani moua in their lamentations. Boston mi I'oe. IX SOCIETY CIRCLES. Marriage of Mi33 Carrie Ciarkson and Mr. Frank Edson. GESERAl BOTES OF SOCIETY. Personal I terns of Interest About To peka Peesle and Visitors in Town. In the presence of a large number of relatives and immediate friends of the contracting parties, last evening, the cer emony which solemnized the union of Misg Carrie Ciarkson and Mr. Frank Edsan was parforrued by Rev. A. Embree at the home of the bride's par ents. The spacious rooms of the handsome j hems, which leud themselves so graoe fully to the decorator's art, were brilliaet with light and rilled with the soft pey fume of flowers and sound of music. I the vestibule and hall were palms. j The mantel and stained glass window in the treat parlor alcove were hidden with palms, ierns, Easter lilies, white roses and hyacinths. A band of white ribbon caught at the coraors by white hyacinths and lilies de fined the place where the young couple weuld stand and make their vows. In the back parlor red carnations and a rich azalea formed a pretty contrast to the decorations of growing plants. Pink and green were the colors in the dining room, where a large bowl of pink rosea formed a centerpiece from which sprays of asparagus fern and roses ex tended to each corner of the table. Throughout the rooms the chandeliers were trimmed with sprays of smilax. The guests were received in the front parlor by Mr. and ilrs. Harriaon Clark son, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Edaon and Miss Jennie Ciarkson. Mrs. Ciarkson wore a rich, black statin with a vest of heliotrope chiffon and trimmings of jet and lace; carried a bouquet of heliotrope. Mrs. Edgon was also in black satin with trim mings of blue satin. Misa Ciarkson wore dreaden figured taffeta with trimmings of pale yellow chiffan. At half past eight the Alhambra Man dolin club, stationed behind a screen of palms in the hall, played Mendellsohn's wedding march, and Mr. Frank Edaon, attended by his best man, Mr. George Ruet, descended the stairs, followed by the maid of" honor, Miss Gertrude Rob erta, and the bridesmaid, Miss Hattie Lakin of Emporia; immediately behind them came the bride, Miss Carrie Ciark son, unattended. Miss Roberts was gowned in white shot silk and carried pink roses. Miss Lakin wore pink taffeta and car ried white roses. The bridal robe was extremely simple and elegant. It was of pearl satin duch ess, plain skirt, entrain, bodice, also plain, with bouffant sleeves, stock and roaettes of the same material and was ex quisitely becoming. The long veil wa3 fastened to the high coiffure with a spray of lilies of the val ley, and fell in shimmering folds to the floor. The fair, gloveless fingers held a spray of lilies of the valley. During the ceremony the mandolin club played "Angels' Serenade" softly, and after it was finished A?r. and Mrs. Edson received the congratulations of the company. Upstairs, one room was filled with the elegant presents, many of them from a distance. Among them wa9 a handsome picture, the gift of Miss Clarkson's Sun day school class. Mr. and Mrs. Edson went directly to the cozy home which was already pre pared and completely furnished for them at 1305 West Tenth street.

Justin Soden, Marshal Warren and Fred and Harry Lakin, all of Em poria. The ladies .who assisted in looking after the comfort of the guests in the dining room were Meadames J. R. Hankla, F. C. Gay, Will Smith and Miss Glenna Crosi. Both Mr. and Mrs. Edaon have lived since childhood in Topeka and many warm fnenda wish them all happiness, Miss Ciarkson is revered and admired for her many sterling qualities of mind and heart, and Mr. Eidson is a promising young business man who haa the confi dence and esteem of his associates.

He had only been sick a week and it wai only within the last day or two that his condition wag considered serious. At 7 o'clock last evening he showed signs of sinking and became unconscious. He rallied, however, and appeared to be better until at 9 o'clock he was seized with a second paroxysm and died almost instantly. Mr. Norton was worth at least $125,- 000.

Books for Caster At KsLLAJU's. THE BALLET SKIRT. It Is s Fussy Frilled Fatticoat and May Re Adapted to Ordinary Wear. The fussy frilled petticoat known as the ballet skirt is now worn by fashion able women under evening and danca gowns, but nearly reaching the ground. First, there is a close fitting yoke of muslin, which is cut in four parts and reaches well below the average corset and very much below the short corset worn for skirt dancing. On to this yoke is set in full gathers or fiat plaits a wide skirt of the muslin, edged with a frill of lace put on slightly full. This skirt reaches from the yoke to the full 9 depth required, and over it at the B line another skirt is simulated by a deep frill, also edged lace, and put on so that the bottom edge is half an inch above the edgo of the under lace, thus giving an extra full and ample effect. When worn, so wide is this skirt that it gives the appearance of a multitude of lace petticoats, and the dancer usual ly catches the center with a safety pin or a few stitches about 10 or 12 inches below the yoke and practically converts it into a divided skirt. These ballet skirts are also made for ordinary wear in dark silk. A Distinguished Woman Oculist. Dr. Charlotte Ellaby, opthalmio sur geon to the London New Hospital For Women, Euston road, has won no small personal distinction by her late achieve ment. At the request of H. H. the Jam Sahib of Jamnagar, Dr. Ellaby went lately to India in order to operate upon the maharani for cataract. Both eyes were operated upon in turn, and both operations were completely successful. A correspondent in India says: 'The ma harani is naturally delighted at recov ering her sight, and her joy is shared by all her household, as well as by the English women who have the pleasure of the acquaintance of one of the most charming of the Rajpnt ladies, beloved for her genial manners and esteemed for her unaffected and sincere piety. Dr. Ellaby's services were retained at the suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. McClelland, who, for long years resi dent in Jamnagar (Mr. McClelland be ing state engineer there), are the tried and trusted friends to whom his high ness the Jam Sahib turns when trouble invades his household. Dr. Charlotte Ellaby has returned to England. Lon don. Make Over Their Dresses. There are often good fashions grow ing out of national disasters. At the time of the French revolution the style of wearing the hair high on the head was begun and was designated as "a la guillotine." Apropos of this the fashion of the present has entirely done away with the idea that one must appear in a fresh toilet every time one gees to a function of any sort. Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of the cabinet set the ad mirable example last winter of wearing the same gown as often as the humor dictated. At the White House receptions Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Carlisle and indeed all of the cabinet ladies have worn tho same gown more than once and havo even resuscitated the toilets of last year and subjected them to seme brightening up and alteration, which, though per haps not apparent to the ordinary ob server, has not escaped the eye of thoso who know the gowns and the women well. It is now quite allowable for a society writer to state that "Mrs. Blank enblinkwore her most becoming gown" and to describe the familiar toilet. And why not? Washington Capital. Julia Ward Howe. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe has been writing poetry for nearly GO years. Al though this remarkable woman ha passed her seventy-fifth year, she has the presence, the demeanor, the expres sion, the voioe and the step of 50. She has a handsome face, is in vigorous health, gives heed to the art of dres3 and is far more lively than are most women at her time of life. She is tha mother besides of Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott and the late Mrs. Julia Anagnos, each of whom is well known in the world of letters. Mrs. Howe is also the sister of Marion Craw ford's mother quite a galaxy of talent to be related to by immediate ties of blood, not to mention the late Sam Ward, epicure, and Bean Ward McAl lister. It was of Mrs. Howe, by the way, that Oliver Wendell Holmes hap pily remarked on her seventieth birth day, "She is 70 years young." The Scent Bottle Fad. Mrs. Cleveland has given a new im petus to the scent battle fever. She carries with her at all her receptions the silver and crystal scent bottle that was given her in Philadelphia when she went to christen the big warship. It is set with a beautiful diamond of the purest water and is a thing of beauty. Now it is quite the thing to carry one of the tiny bottles, shoved np the palm of the glove. Philadelphia Times. A Woman Will Do It. Probably the most conspicuous in stance in this country where a woman has been selected as the sculptor of a figure of heroic size is that of the choos ing of Mrs. Theodore Ruggles-Kitson to make for the city of Providence a bronze statue 7 fset 6 inches high. The statue is to perpetuate the form and face of Esek Hopkins, the first admiral of the American navy and a native of Rhode Island. L i Wife Desertion. The Illinois legislature created a new crime wife desertion. Formerly in thia state, as elsewhere, a man could desert his family without any danger of imprisonment. He might be compelled to give up some money to provide for wife and children, but he was guilty of no crime and was safe from arrest. He is so no longer. Desertion of his family has been made a felony, punishable with imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary, and not only has the law been passed, but several prosecutions un der it have begun in the Chicago justice courts. No one will complain of this. The abandonment of their families by men who forget honor and obligation has be come an abuse so widespread as to call for the severest punishment. Men marry young women and desert them after the charm of the first intimacy has worn off, and this they have been able to do hitherto with perfect impunity. It is no longer possible in Illinois. The law may not result in restoring husbands to for saken wives or in raviving lost love, but it will at least deter adventurers marry ing young women without first consid ering the legal aspect of the matter. Humane Journal. A Reminiscence. For over 40 years yes, 45 years the shout has been going up in this country for perfect equality of rights for women; but, as you remember, 40 years was the allotted time for the children of Israel to wander in the wilderness in olden times, so history says. I wonder if any young person in this house can imagine what it has been for a few women in this country to spend 45 years, some of them almost 50, demanding what? simply that the opinions of women should be recognized, respected and counted. That is all we ask, and yet, as you have heard here toivght, only in a few places has this demand been reo ognized. I remember just 20 years ago coming down to Philadelphia, going to your constitutional convention and praying that berly to so construct the constitution of the state as to guarantee to woman her voice in the government. I don't believe it was ever put to a vote; it was not thought worth while. If that constitution had been left as it was, if it had not been altered to pre vent such a thing, woman today would have been permitted to cast her ballot in Pennsylvania. -Susan B. Anthony. Women Cyclists Abroad. Among the society women abroad who have gone into cycling for an exer cise and an amusement Lady Dudley takes prominence, as her wheel is one of tho handsomest in England. It is enam eled with white and lined with blue and gold, and the handlos are real ivory. The Princess of Wales and her daughters haven't mustered courage to ride a two wheel machine, but they go about on tandem tricycles of elaborate designs and leave the Duchess d'Aosta and the little queen of Holland to do the bicycle honors. Queen Marguerite of Italy, who was recently presented with a golden bicycle by the Veloce club of Milan, haa listened to the beautiful Duchess d'Aosta's praise of the machine and is preparing to appear alongside of her cousin, who is so accomplished and ar dent a rider. The next thing we shall know the entire Italian court will be on wheels, and if the craze spreads beyond royalty Boston will soon hear that "Mrs. Jack" has taken to the wheel. For there is no doubt but the dame du monde is in for it all over Europe as well as in America. Boston Herald. Two Flacky Women.

So far as is known femininity has never been known to do anything with diamonds except to adorn her person, but now she is a competitor for honors in cutting, polishing, setting, splitting and rounding these gems of many colors. A well known dealer has in his employ a woman who means to become proficient from A to Z in thia branch of industry. And why not? Any thing that requires delicacy of touch, patience or skill woman can do. Accu racy comes with time and experience. New York News. Miss Ada Stewart. Miss Ada Stewart of Waltham, Mass., has been induced by the Vermont Mar ble company to settle in Proctor as a nurse. Miss Stewart is a graduate of the Waltham Training School For Nurses and has been associated with Dr. Baker of Boston- in hospital work.

Emperor Nicholas I., great-grandfather of the present young1 tsar, in spired the Russians with awe at the very beginning1 of his reig-n, says the Youth's Companion. His oldest brother, lAlexander I., was childless and the fciext heir to the throne was Constan- tine, the second brother, Nicholas, be ag third. Hut Alexander made Nicholas his fieir by an edic, Constantino recogniz ing1 his own incapacity to become em Jioror. Nevertheless, when Alexander died, there was a conspiracy to put Con 6tantine on the throne, and an immense crowd g-athered before the equestrian ptatue of Peter the Great in the great square of St. Petersburg1, to support three regiments of troops who had pledged themselves to carry out the plot. Nicholas ordered several regiments to face the rioters, and rode forth sur rounded by his staff and confronted the crowd. An officer galloped from the tnutinous regiments, his right hand thrust into the breast of his uniform. The emperor advanced alone to meet him. "What do you bring me?" asked Nich olas, when they halted at a sword's length from each other. The emperor's fearless gaze unnerved the officer. His hand moved convul sively unde" his uniform; without say ing a word he turned his horse and rode back to his associates. "The tsar looked at me with such a tcjTible glance that I could not kill liim,"said he to those who loudly asked why he had not executed his purpose. Once when the cholera was raging in St. Petersburg a howling mob was shouting that the nobles and the Jews had caused the terrible disease. Nich olas went into the midst of the crazed rioters and suddenly throwing back his cloak, exclaimed: "Wretches! Down on your knees flown, everyone of you, and pray the Father in Heaven to pardon those sins that have brought the pestilence upon R"ou; for it is those sins that have Wrought it into your homes!" Awed by his mien and his words the Vast mob fell on their knees in prayer. THE FIRST SUEZ CANAL. It Was Begun Centuries Before the Chris tian Era. According to Herodotus, Pharaoh Neeho, four hundred and fifty years be fore the Christian era, commenced the construction of a canal branching out from the Nile and traversing the desert to the head of the gulf of Suez. When about half completed, and after the ex penditure of an incredible amount of labor, says Longman's Magazine, the work was abandoned, owing to an oracle which the king had consulted warning liim that if the enterprise was com pleted, it would be for the benefit of liis enemies, the barbarians, and prob ably entangle the nation in foreign com plications. The work was subsequently com pleted by Ptolemy II. and afterward restored by Trajan. The grand canal was stated as being far superior to any other canal in the known world. Its Vreadth was such that two galleys Ebreast could be navigated on it, and by it the riches and merchandise of the east were conveyed from the Red sea to the Nile, and thence to the Mediterra nean. Strong opposition was raised during the construction, on the ground that the land through which it passed being below the level of the Red sea, the canal would be the means of flood ing it. To overcome this difficulty a dam, or sluice, was placed across it, with doors which opened to give passage to the vessels, and then were closed again. After the lapse of several centuries this canal was allowed to go to ruin, but traces of it still remain. Not a failure is recorded for Dr. Price's Baking Powder. A standard for forty years.

Largest Land Lease Ever Made in the West. The Waggoners Get 532,000 Acres in Oklahoma. CROWD OTHERS OUT. They Intend to Exclude Other Cattle Kings. Guthrie, Ok., April 10. The territo rial school land department has con summated the biggest lease of land ever made in the west. The lessees are D. Waggoner Son, the big cattle dealers of Decatur, Tex., and the lease is for five years and covers all the school land in Roger Mills, Day and Woodward counties, or 532, 800 acres. The sum of 517,250.83 per annum is paid for the lease, or S33 per section (there are told 519X sections) per annum. Mr. Waggoner the head of the firm Waggoner Son, was in the city and deposited $4,000 with the school department as an evidence of good faith. This monster lease means more than S85,O0O added to the school fund. It is the intention of the lessees to graze cat tle on the new lease and 60,000 head will be placed on grass within a few weeks. Aside from the large amount of money that will accrue to the school fund from the five years' lease, the territory will profit from the deal to the amount of 815,000 by tax levies on the cattle. It is the intention of the Waggoners to entirely freeze out the cattle barons in western Oklahoma. TEXAS CATTLE QUARANTINED. Lincoln, Neb., April 10. The quar antine proclamation against Texas cattle issued by Gov. Hoi comb is in con formity with the order of Secretary of Agriculture Morton of February 5, 1895. The new dead line dividing the United States from east to west is slijrhtly changed, but not materially from that established last year. The northwestern portion of Oklahoma, equalling nearly half of the territory is now north of the line and excluded from the quarantine pro visions. The other changes from last year include the counties of Cherokee, Kansas, and Jasper, Missouri, ten southwest counties in Tennessee and Culpepper and three other counties in Virginia, which are all left in the proscribed country south of the line. A PATH FOB CYCLISTS. Benton Harbor, Mich., April 10. This city will be the first in the United States to build along one of its public streets a path for the exclusive use of bicyclists.

Paul had just re turned from Tishomingo, where he had been holding court, when he found that McClure, who is his nephew, had stolen his wife. The men pulled their guns and a deadly battle took place and when the smoke cleared away Joe Paul, well known over the Indian country, was a dead man. KILLED HER SWEETHEART.

Western Passenger Rates. Chicago, April 10. The demoraliza tion in passenger rates west of the Mis souri river was increased somewhat to day. The Burlington Missouri river announced that it will make a $17 round trip rate from Denver to Omaha. From Kansas City a rate of $5 will be made to points in Nebraska and one of $7 to Sterling, Col. These tickets will have a return limit of ten days. Which hotels are the most popular? Those which use Dr. Price's Baking Powder in the food. LYONS DIES SUDDENLY.

A Banker, lawyer and Union Soldier at Omaha Each Deliberately Takes His Life. Omaha, Neb., April 10. Three well known Omaha men committed suicide yesterday. At an early hour in the morning Judge John H." Sahler blew out his brains at his Omaha residence. He left a note, attributing his act to financial troubles. Sahler has been a banker.lawyer and lobbyist in Nebras ka for a quarter of a century. In the past ten years he has attended every legislature, and was the recognized king of a powerful lobby. J. J. Jones, an Omaha lawyer, wrote a long letter to the press and disap peared Monday night. He said he would be dead before the letter was received. He claimed he had lost his wife's fortune, and could not face her. His friends think his mind gave way and believe he has committed suicide. Mansford C. Baily, a union veteran, blew out his brains. He attributed the act to domestic troubles. THEY ARE GRATEFUL. All Venezuela Enthusiastic Over Sympathy Conilner from Washington. Washington, April 10.

LOST-JREVENUL Effect of the Decision on the Income Tax. Senator Peffer Computes What Government Loses. TWO THIRDS LESS. Rents and Bonds Would Have Brought Ten Millions. Washington, April 10. The debates on the income tax, while the bill for its imposition was under consider ation in congress, are almost bar ren of figures showing the compar ative importance of the incomes from rents and interest on county, municipal and state bonds in furnishing a revenue to the government. It does not appear that this matter was touched upon in the house discussions and it was onlv I casually referred to in the senate. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, pre pared a statement, placing1 the revenue likely to be derived through the in come tax at $100,000,000, and crediting rents and public bonds with about 30 per cent, of this amount. Senator Peffer, who made the princi pal speech in the senate in advocacy of an income tax, did not go into this branch of the question at all, but he said yesterday in an interview that he was of the opinion that between $9, 000,000 and $10,000,000 of revenue would have been derived from these two sources if the supreme court had al lowed them to stand, and he added that he thought that this amount would have been about two-thirds of the total revenue produced by the in-, come tax, as he (Peffer) had figured the total at $15,000,000. "The census reports show," he said, "that 52 per cent, of the people of the United States are renters, and it is to be inferred that this proportion of the land is occupied by renters. The land of the entire country, with improve ments added, is put down as worth $39,544,544,323. Of this amount $20, 000,000,000 worth is rented. The rental on that amount at the average rate of 5 per cent, would be $1,000,000,000. Just what proportion of that would come under the law is another matter, and that could not be gotten at accurately; but let us assume that one quarter of it, or $250,000,000 worth, would be tax able income, that would give $5,000,000 of income tax and that, I think, a very low estimate. The bonds, municipal, county and school district, which would be subject to the tax amounting to $900,213,053. Take one quarter of this'amount as coming within the oper ations of the law, and one derives at the rate of 2 per cent, on this amount $4,531,065, or a total on the two items of about $9,500,000." Late yesterday afternoon Commis sioner Miller decided to require all per sons who have returns to make affi davits to the facts as to the amount of income received from rents and bonds, and those who have not yet sent in their returns to make the necessary correction thereon before doing so. The commissioner and Mr. Johnson, the chief of the income tax division, had a conference last night on the steps to be taken to make the returns conform to the supreme court decision, and it is hoped that a definite conclu sion may be arrived at some time to day. Although no statement has been made to that effect, it seems probable that the final decision will be that Monday's opinion, in effect, exempts incomes received from bonds and rents, the latter to be strictly defined as the amount the landlord derives from his tenant. In computing income, it is be believed that it will be held that insur ance, ordinary repairs and taxes on ex empt property may properly be deduct ed. In that case it is probable that the courts will be called upon to explain just what yesterday's decision intend ed to exempt from the tax. RAGS BREED SMALL-POX. Working Girls In Cleveland Exposed to the Disease. Cleveland, O., April 9. A case of virulent small-pox was discovered in a house on Milford street on the south side yesterday. The victim is Anna Stetina, a Bohemian girl, who was employed as a rag sorter .in a woolen mill. About 150 girls worked with her, and it is believed that others will take the disease from the rags, where she is supposed to have con tracted it. Several persons have been directly exposed, and the health au thorities have established a strict quarantine. The Oldest In Kansas. Kansas City, Kan., April 10. The Eastern association of Congregational churches of Kansas is holding its spring meeting in this city. The first meeting was held at the First Congre gational church last evening.

Now there are nine associations in the state. Air Brakemen Seek Instruction. St. Louis, April 10. The Association of Air Brakemen, which includes in its membership all air brakemen of the various railroads of the United States, Canada and Mexico, met here in an nual session yesterday with about 125 members present.

I cannot believe any judgpe would gTant an injunction to prevent a col lector from collecting the tax on in comes derived from other sources than rents or state and municipal bonds in the face of the supreme court's action. The only way I can see by which per sons who object to paying the tax can secure judicial action is by their pay ing the tax under protest and entering suit for its recovery." Topeka Presbytery Convenes. Kansas City, Kan., April 10. The Topeka presbytery convened at the Central Presbyterian church in Ar mourdale last night. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and the first night of the presbytery was a grand success. The meeting was called to order by Retiring Moderator M. C. Long, of Topeka, who made a lengthy address. J. S. Farand, of Topeka, was elected moderator to succeed M. C. Long. J. S. Phillips and D. D. Hoag were elected clerks of the presbytery. To Establish a College. Washington, April 10.

The Oklahoma presbytery convened at Newkirk on the 9th, the retiring moderator, Rev. J. II. Aughey, of Mul hall, preaching the opening sermon. MANUFACTURE OF WILD MEN. Children Are Kidnaped in China and Slow. Iy Transformed Into a Brutal Condition. There are many curious trades in the world, but the most strange must sure ly be the "artificial manufacture of wild men," says the Philadelphia Times. Yet a well-known English doctor in China nas just certified from his own personal experience that this art is reg ularly practiced in the Flowery king dom. First a youth is kidnaped, then bit by bit he is flayed alive, and then the skin of a dog or bear grafted piece by piece upon him. His vocal chords are next destroyed by the action of charcoal to make him dumb, and the double pur pose of causing "etiolation" of the skin and utter degradation of the mental faculties is effected by keeping him im mured in a perfectly dark hole for a number of years. In fact, by treating him like a brute for a sufficiently long time he is made into one. At last he is exhibited to the entirely credulous Chinese as a wild man of the woods, and his possessors reap a rich harvest. The priests, it seems, are adepts at the art. When a kidnaper, however, is 'caught by the people he is torn to pieces, and when the authorities get him they torture him and promptly be head him. Such is life under the rule of the Son of Heaven. A Trick on the Professor. The story is told of the late Prof. Blackie that when he once put a card on the door of his lecture room, read ing: "Prof. Blackie will meet his classes at one p. m." Some waggish student obliterated the "c"in "classes." Happening to pass that way the old professor saw the change. Stepping up to the door he obliterated the letter "1" and went grimly on his way with out a word. Never leave success to chance in the bakinc. Dr. Price's Baking Powder makes it pure and sure. WANTS THE BISHOPS. Salina Would .Have the Board of Metho dist Bishops Meet There. Kansas City, April 10.

It magnifies five hundred diameters and with it, it is possible to see a star of the thirteenth magnitude. It brings the moon within a thousand miles of the earth. The lenses were made in Lon don. CARLISLE WILL RUN. He Will Try to Get Into the Senate to Succeed Blackburn. Lexington, Ky., April 10. The Leader will today publish an interview with a Kentuckian just returned from Washington who is a close friend of the Carlisle family, and who says that the secretary will surely be a candidate for senator from Kentucky to succeed Black burn. Mrs. Carlisle, it is said, never favored the idea of Mr. Carlisle going into the cabinet, and Is now anxious for him to be returned to the senate. Blackburn is quoted in Washington as saying that Carlisle would be his most dangerous competitor. It is said that Carlisle will not make an active canvass, which would not comport with the digni ty of his present position, but that his friends will be advised that he is, as Gen. Clarkson said of Geu. Harrison, "a re ceptive ftaadidata,' "Blackburn tree, a graceful big leaved magnolia, set out by the Kentucky sen ator in 1879. Not far from" it ia the "Bayard tree, a red leaved British oak, planted by the present American min ister to the court of St. James eight years ago, while he was serving as secretary of state. Near the west gate of the garden is the "Sherman tree," a wholesome buck eye, planted by the senior senator from Ohio in the spring of 1891. It bears a tag on its stem to indicate its species. A dozen paces off is the "Frye tree," a curiously variegated "freak" maple from the Scottish highlands, planted two years ago by the Maine senator in the presence of Superintendent Smith, who happens to be of Scottish blood and who stood by watching the operation in silent rapture and admiration. Turning eastward again, standing close behind Superintendent Smith's cottage or "keep," is the "Frank Blair tree," a haokleberry, placed 25 years ago from a cutting brought from Ken tucky by the elder Blair. Superintend ent Smith calls it the "necessity tree," from the fact that the birds in the gar den never go near it to eat the berries or soeds until cold weather comes and no better food can be had. Out npar the Soldiers' home, on the Robinson estate, is an ancient locust tree that was particularly affected by Daniel Webster when he w.w a national figure in Washington. The friends whom he visited on the place had a lit tle platform built into the lower crotch of the tree for his especial ease and com fort, and in that retreat the great New England statesman used to spend hours at a time, on summer days, reading and meditating on affairs of publio policy. But perhaps the most conspicuous and oldest among all these historic memorial trees is one planted by George Washing ton just 100 years ago last spring. It occupies a commanding position oppo site the senate portico, in the east park of the capitol, scarcely a stone's throw from the marble seps. It is a superb specimen of the Amerioan elm, of gi gantic proportions. Its gnarled trunk is covered with clinging ivy, and the whole growth, wonderfully symmetrical and well balanced, measures fully 100 feet in height. Almost as prominent as the original Washington elm at the senate side of the capitol is another elm of less size, near the house entrance to the south, known as the "Cameron tree," in honor of Simon Cameron, secretary of war under Lincoln, for many years United States senator from Pennsylvania and father of the present senator, J. Donald Camer on. While a member of the senate com mittee on public buildings and grounds in 1S78 Senator Simon Cameron inter vened powerfully in its behalf and pre vented its destruction in the regrading process by effectively repeating in the ears of the grading commission Georg P. Morris' familiar line, "Woodman, spare that tree!" Although it obstruct ed the principal pathway leading to the house of representatives, near the south ern terrace, it was and has been perznit- s J e-'.stT .l'." j A GLIMPSE OF THE CAPITOL DOME. ted to live on account of the sentiment he entertained for it. The ground about it has been trimmed down and stone flagging built around it, so that it de rives scant nourishment from the soil that ia left, but still it survives and forms a striking and beautiful object.
