Victoria, B. C, Jan. 29. The steamer Danube, at Departure bay, reports that the steamer Corona sank and was abandoned and the steamer Coquitlan was strained and badly damaged. Seattle, Wn.. Jan. 29. A special to the Times from Victoria, says that news has been received there that the steam er Corona, which left Seattle with 225 passengers, January 20 for southeastern Alaska ports had been wrecked near Lewis island, at the mouth oftheSkee na river.

The Coona was a screw propeller 220 feet long. 35 feet beam, 9 feet, 5 inches hold; built in Philadelphia in 18SS and has been running on the coast ever since. She is well known to southern California, having run there between San Francisco and San Diego for some years. She was a 15 knot boat and was equipped with all modern improve ments. This was to have been the last trip for the Corona as she was to have been transferred to the southern California division on her return. Nanairao, B. C, Jan. 29. The steamer Danube arrived at Departure bay late thi-3 evening bringing down news of the wrecked steamer Corona with 225 pas sengers aboard. The Corona struck a rock near the mouth of the Skeena riv er and at once commenced to sink. Life boats were lowered and the passengers were conveyed to the beacah of the Skeena, river. The steamer Alki went to the rescue. She is now on her way south with the unfortunate gold seek ers. The Corona struck the rock on Tues day mo.'ning bow on, and is now lying with stern submerged.

Particulars of this wreck were obtained i from the passengers on the Danube DETAILS OP THE "WRECK And the Removal of the Passengers of the Corona. San Francisco, Jan. 29. Further par ticulars have been received of the wreck of the Pacific coast steamship company's steamer Corona on a reef at the southeast point of Lewis island 480 miles north of Victoria, B. C. and oppo site the mouth of the Skeena river on Sunday. January 23. The Corona sailed from Seattle with 47 passengers for Juneau, Dvea and Skaguay on Thursday. January 20. She carried a cargo of 700 tons together with ten horses and 38 dogs. This was to have been her final Alas kan trip as she was to return to the San Francisco and San Diego run and be replaced by the Queen. At 5:05 o'clock on Sunday morning, when 4S0 miles from Victoria in what is known as Arthur passage the steamer sudden ly crashed upon the reef. The first shock was followed by several lesser ones as the vessel s headway ground her further upon the rocks. Most of the passengers were up awaiting the breakfast call, but a scene of inde scribable confusion followed the rock ing of the ship when her engines were reversed in an effort to get her off the n.'eks- J'hen Fhe finally settled down the officers and crew succeeded in calming the panic-stricken passengers and Captain Pierce at once ordered the ooats lowered and the pumps to be Ten r- L- l ri boat in charge of Second Officer Mar shal! put off tor the nearest land.

The hand baggage and that in the forward hold was then transferred and the dogs and horses were saved. Mattresses and blankets from the cabin state rooms were also landed for the accommodation of the shipwrecked msl semrers. At 9 o'clock the Corona had settled so far that the -res under the main boiler were extinguished. An hour later Captain Pierce ordered Purser Kal lentine to take the mail ashore and at H:4 the captain ordered the rest of the crew ashore and followed himself Twenty minutes later the steamer sank headforemost, with her bow hanKi-ie to the rock upon which she struck. About 2: p. m. the tug Golden Gate, with a barge in tow. passed and answered the signals of distress, but the sea being too heavy to admit of her parting with he tow, she proceeded and returned next morning, when Captain Pierce dispatched wreck Mary island with the news of the A severe storm which struck the camp added to the sufferings of the hapless passengers huddled upon Lewis island" which continued until Tuesday morning' m Wednesday night at 8:05 "o'clock the steamer Danube was sighted and answer ed the sisrnal dared from the point, and Captain Pierce boarded her in a canoe manned by Siwashes from an adjacent iManu.

TAX WICK GROWS WRATHY Scores the New York School Board for Various Offenses. New York, Jan.29. Mavor Van Wyck last evening severely criticised some of the methods of the present board of ed ucation, and for two hours plied Presi dent Hubbell with a stream of ques tions about the employment of non resident principals and teachers and As soon as it was ascertained that the vessel was. taking in water. Captain T?hOIid('rfed lhT woraeI and children into the boats nnrl nr 7-'Jr. o m .v... the introduction of new systems In the schools. The mayor opposed the establishment of high schools. He favored enlarging the schools and giving more attention to the primary departments. Among other things the mayor said: "We find that the. business of the board of edu cation is run by clerks, not by the men appointed to attend to it. You have humiliated the teachers of this city un til they are not efficient under your board. "The people of New York are the best people in America and the best educa ted. You can find all the principals and teachers you need in this city. In addi tion to principals from Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Boston, you have 38 teachers in the high schools who came from other cities and states. "You are paying Frank Damrosch $4, 000 a year as a director of music in the schools. He has 17 assistants and 131 teachers of music. Do you know if he has ever entered a public school build ing? You ask for $1,000,000 increase in your appropriation 20 per cent and it is nearly made up of high schools, sup ervisors, and special studies, while you have decreased the salaries of the plain teachers who teach A, B, C, writing, and arithmetic." The mayor charged that boys had been taught to sew in the public schools under the present board, and the charge was not denied. BLUE CUT GUARDED. Probable Train Robbery Pre vented by an Accident. Kansas City, Jan. 29. John F. Ken nedy, a locomotive engineer who comes from the notorious Cracker-neck dis trict, not far from Blue Cut, and whom the police have endeavored to connect with some of the many recent train robberies in the outskirts of Kansas City, was brought into the hospital at police headquarters at a late hour last night under circumstances that have caused commotion in police circles. A man was picked up on West Seven teenth street in an unconscious condi tion by persons who had seen him thrown from a horse which he was rid ing, the horse having slipped upon the pavement. The injured man, upon being taken to police headquarters, proved to be John Kennedy-, disguised by a false chin beard and equipped for an expedition that could not have meant peace for his fellow man. In one of Kennedy's pockets was a black domino mask. Distributed about his clothing were the several pieces of a disjointed shot gun. In addition to these were a 45 ealibr revolver and a liberal supply of cartridges and shot gun shells. He also carried a lan tern. When Kennedy recovered at the hos pital he refused to talk further than to say that he had started on a hunting trip. The police have learned that a second man, who was riding with Ken nedy, rode away at a rapid gait after Kennedy's horse fell. Kennedy has been twice tried for train robbery. He was indicted for com plicity in the Chicago Alton train robbery at Blue Cut on Thanksgiving eve, 1896, when between $20,000 and $30. 000 is supposed to have been secured, and for another robbery at Blue Cut on Christmas eve of the same year. He was tried once and the jury disagreed. On his second trial he was acquitted. One indictment still stands against him in connection with these robberies. The detectives have maintained that Kennedy was the leader of the rob bers. Kennedy is detained by the police. Kennedy boarded with Andy Ryan, a foreman of a brigade of the Kansas City fire department, who is a brother of the notorious Bill Ryan of the James and Younger gang of train robberies. This was Andy Ryan's night off. As soon as Kennedy's mishap was known all the railroad headquarters were notified, and through fear that an other robbery might be attempted at Blue Cut. guards went out on every train that left here during the night. AT k PISTOL'S POINT. A Drunken Man Tries to Force His Way Into the Luet gert Trial. Chicago, Jan. 29. A remarkable scene was witnessed at the Luetgert wife murder trial yesterday afternoon. John Burns attempted to secure admission to the court room to attend the Luetgert trial. He was refused and he drew two revolvers and a knife. Deputy Sheriff George Albrecht knocked the knife from his hand. Intense excitement prevailed, women screaming and bailiffs rushing about in the crowd. Burns who was in toxicated was locked up at the East Chicago avenue station. ABANDONED THE CORPSES. Four Absent Minded Passengers Cause the Santa Fe Much Trouble. That people will do unnatural things under the strain of excitement was fully demonstrated by an occurrence incidental to the recent burning out of the tunnel on the line of the Santa Fe near Williams, Ariz. On the first through train from Cali fornia to reach the tunnel after the fire started, there happened to be four bod ies in the baggage car in charge of four different individuals. The train was compelled to stop at the west end of the tunnel and the pas sengers were transferred to a train at the other end with the understanding that their baggage would be sent on as soon as it was possible to convenient ly transfer it. The four passengers who had the bodies in charge abandoned the corpses as other passengers "abandoned their trunks and satchels, and took the first train east, leaving the bodies in the baggage car at the west end of the tun nel. They could easily have obtained hotel accommodations at Williams, and awaited the transfer of the bodies, but in the excitement they apparently did not think of this and weit on their way east, leaving the bodies to be cared for as best they might be. It was three days after the passen gers were transferred that the Santa Fe people were able to forward the bodies to their destination. In the meantime the persons in charge had arrived at their homes, and at once dis patched telegrams and letters to the passenger department in this city, in quiring after their abandoned charges. The department was put to the trouble of determining the exact location of the bodies and telegraphing the relatives. All the bodies finally arrived at their destinations safely. DEPEWJJOOMED. Head of the New York Central System Must Come Under the Axe of the All POWERFUL MORGAN. Chauncey M. Depew Forced Retire Gracefully to Or Ungracefully, as the Case May Be. Chicago, Jan. 29. The Chicago Rail way News bureau referring to the, con solidation of the New York Central and Lake Shore railroad companies says: "It is well known that Mr. J. P. Mor gan has no friendship for Mr. Depew. It is also well known that other influ ential factors in the destiny of the New York Central share Mr. Morgan's feeling. At the time when Mr. Depew was a candidate for the post of ambas sador to England not a few of what are commonly known as "the powers" very strongly desired his appointment simp ly because it would mean his removal from the head of the New York Central. Mr. Depew himself counted confidently on getting the position. A deliberate CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW. and formidable attack is being made on the management of the road and on Mr. Depew in particular. A gentleman in terested in the road and who is well in formed on the affairs of the company is authority for the statement that pow erful interests are .behind the assault on Mr. Depew and the present manage ment and he did not hesicate to say that the outcome will be a change in the organization although this may not come at once. It is more than probable that Mr. Vanderbilt will continue to in crease the active interest which he takes in the company's affairs and that sooner or later, Mr. Depew will go. The directors the Vanderbilts and the house of Morgan may hesitate in view of his long service and his public stand ing to humiliate Mr. Depew by compel ling his resignation unless it can be giv en the appearance of being voluntariy for the purpose of accepting some greater position. This is what it was hoped to attain by his selection for the post at the court of St. James. The difficulty now lies in the fact that there are very few positions or government appointments for which it would be worth anybody's while to resign the presidency of the New York Central. It is an embarrassing situation, but un less a position is available so that Mr. Depew can accept it and retire with grace there are indications that it will not be long before he will have to re tire gracefully or otherwise. DYING IN THE DESERT. Family Who Try to Walk Across the Mojave Desert Narrowly Escape Death. Los Angeles, Jan. 29. E. Adolph of this city, who has returned from Mam moth Tank, a small station on the Southern Pacific road, 50 miles north west of Yuma, reports that L. S. Put nam, agent of the Norton Drake com pany, found a whole family perishing on the desert night before last and res cued them. The family consisted of William Joyce, of Frescott, Ariz., and his five children, the oldest 12 years of age, and the youngest 3 years. Joyce had tried to drive overland from Prescott to Chino, Cal. His horses died at Gilia Bend and the family tried to walk across the desert. Their pro visions gave out and when found the whole six were on the verge of death. Only the most careful nursing suc ceeded in keeping them alive the first night. They had walked 350 miles and car ried provisions and water on their backs. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

Crew of the Dago Snatched From Impending Death. New York, Jan. 29. The North German Lloyd steamer Aller, which arrived today, brought the captain and 24 of the crew of the British tramp steamer Dago of Sun derland, who were taken off that vessel at sea while she was in a sinking condi tion. The Dago left Leith December 31 for Baltimore in ballast. On January S the main steam pipe burst and the machinery became disabled. The steamer fell off in the trough of the sea and rolled about in heavy seas. For twelve days the un fortunate craft lay in this condition. The bunker bulkheads were burst in by the terrific pitching and tossing of the vessel; the coal fell through into the engine room and choked the pumps and shaft alley, the vessel became, leaky and the water was soon level with the engine room floor. On January 27 the Aller hove in sight and soon bore down to the sinking vessel. The Aller launched one of her large life boats, in which three trips were made to the sinking craft and the whole crew was taken off, the Dago being abandoned to her fate. ARCTIC WEATHER.

GRAND CONCLAVE. 300,000 Masons to Build a Mag nificent Temple at Cayuga Island. Buffalo, Jan. 29. A plan is now on foot which will bring to Buffalo and Cayuga island 300,000 Masons for a bril liant end of the century demonstration of the strength of the order in the new world. It is suggested that one of the build ings for the Pan-American exposition shall be a reproduction of Solomon's temple. The site selected is on the shore of the island. The preliminary drawings of the palace provide for treasure rooms, in which it is proposed to show the priceless relics and rare jewels which have been accumulated by the order during the centuries of its existence. This section is to be an in nermost shrine to which only Masons shall be admitted. Masons all over the country have written encouragingly of the project and endorsements have been received from every state in the union. There has been the same enthusiasm manifes ted in the republics of the southern half of the continent. The details of the project will be pre sented to the Masonic meeting in Dal las, Tex., next June. S. A. Perkins, private secretary to Mark Hanna, is now in the south awakening interest in the scheme and all the Buffalo lodges have appointed themselves committees of the whole to go to Dallas and secure for 1S99 the conclave of the nobles of the mystic shrine. This would bring from 12,000 to 15.CO0 Shriners here. President Brinker of the exposition management has set aside a command ing location for the temple. This build ing will take so much room that 150 acres on the mainland has been secured to help out the 200 acres on Cayuga is land. PAYING WAR CLAIMS. The House Votes $288,000 to Reim burse a Southern Church. Washington, Jan. 29. The bill to pay the book publishing company of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, $288,000 for damages sustained by that corporation during the war, after en countering an obstinate filibuster which staved off a vote on two previous pri vate bill days, was piloted to its pas sage in the house yesterday by Mr. Cooper (Tex.), who was in charge of the measure. The friends of the meas ure proved themselves in an over whelming majority, and the opposition finding it could hold out no longer, re lucantly yielded. The vote on the bill was 188 to 67. FINISHING TOUCHES To the Klondike Snow Train are Con tracted at Portland. Portland. Ore., Jan. 29. The Snow Ice Transportation company of Chica go, which has the contract for trans porting the government relief supplies from Skaguay to Dawson, has let a contract to the Portland Iron Works for building frames and assembling the machinery of six snow and ice locomotives. UNDER HEADWAY. The Work of Raising Money For the Auditorium Was Fairly Started at the Meeting Last Night. PLANS ARE REPORTED. They Will Be Formally Adopt ed Next Tuesday. Then Only Pulling All Togeth er is Needed. There will be a meeting of the Topeka Auditorium association Tuesday after noon when the report of the special committee on plans will be made. The committee held a meeting Friday evening and formulated the report which will be presented to the meeting of the association. If the report of the committee is adopted as it undoubtedly will be, the work of raising funds will be commenced in earnest. The report is signed by Major Ander son, chairman of the committee, and consists of three separate recommenda tions. The -first is that a classified list of names be made and apportioned among the members of the association and business men for the purpose of having a canvass of the prospective subscrib ers. It is proposed to apportion the nanes on the list among theiracquaint ances. The second recommendation is to adopt an official button with a cut of the auditorium on its face and number ed consecutively. The third recommendation is to have a midsummer fair at Garfield park or some other suitable place, f All three plans can be worked to gether and the committee thinks that after the resources available by the first two methods have been exhausted the fair may be used to raise the bal ance that is necessary. It will require but $15,000 which will be added to the $10,000 from the coal hole fund. It should not be difficult to raise that sum for a permanent convention hall. M. D. Henderson had a plan for tak ing $10 notes for two years, payable in semi-annual installments of $2. The question about the association being able to dispose of such a miscellaneous collection of paper to secure ready money was raised. "I believe it could be done," said Mr. Henderson. "The moral risk in a case of this kind would be less than in other cases. The honor of the city would be at stake and the people who gave the notes would not let them default. Be sides a payment of $2 every six months would not be a- hardship on any one. I take the ground that the greater part of the money for the Auditorium must come from the middle class or the working men. People with property or money are slow to help along such an enterprise." Mr. Brigham thought the plan would not be practicable because it will be difficult to collect the notes and they could not be negotiable for that reason. No action was taken on the plan of Mr. Henderson. Dr. Hamilton appeared before the committee with the following proposi tions with reference to Hamilton hall: "I will sell my property to the as sociation for $30,000 or I will make a hall 75 by 150 feet for $10,000, with a stage at east end, with dressing rooms on each side. Or I will put in galleries so that the present hall will seat over 700 more for $5,000." Dr. Hamilton propose that when pub lic meetings are held the use of the hall would be given free in the event that the association spent either $10,000 or $5,000 to enlarge the halL Otto Kuehne objected to the plan of buying Hamilton hall. He thought that a building better adapted for the pur pose of an auditorium might be built for less money. He also thought that the ventilation would not be satisfac tory. Dr. Hamilton said that there were four sicies where windows might be opened and the ventilation could not be better. "I admit," said Mr. Kuehne, "that the location is excellent and that there is a broad paved street in front but it does not seem to me that it would be a good plan to try to raise such a large sum of money to buy that hall or that it would be a good thing to put $5,000 or $10,000 into it to make it large enough. Dr. Hamilton has a good hall and it will be better after we have an auditor ium. The new building will not inter fere with him in the least, but will tend to help him." The question of location of the audi torium was mentioned incidentally. Ma jor Anderson said he feared it would be difficult to raise money for a building in the city park, but he said that he saw no other way out. The park loca tion must be adhered to in order to use the coal hole fund unless some one came forward and donated a good loca tion which did not seem at all probable. He said he considered it advisable to set to work in earnest with the city park in view as the location. Persons who refuse to contribute "because the site is in the City park," should be asked how much they will give if it is uptown and the amount they state set down opposite their names. Perhaps enough more can be raised in this way to buy the site up town which they so much desire. CHIEF JUSTlCEQUiTS. Head of Missouri SupremeCourt About to Resign. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 29.

Fire was discovered in the chapel adjoining the magnificent parish church of St. John Baptiste in the northern portion of the city at 1 o'clock this morning. A gen eral alarm was turned in, but before the firemen arrived in force, the flames had gained access to the church. It was intensely cold, the thermome ter being many degrees below zero and the handling of hose was exceedingly difficult. The church was a stone building, the interior being embellished with valua ble works of art and expensive decora tions. The chapel and church were practically ruined. The loss will reach $250,000. TURNER UNREPRESSED Handcuffed and Under Guard He Looks Up Law Points. Kansas City, Jan. 29. County Mar chal Chiles yesterday yielded to the entreaties of R. B. Turner, the alleged forger, and agreed to allow him to go to the New York Life building in company with two deputies to consult some law books in order to better fit himself for his defense when his trial is called next week. Turner objected strenuously to being handcuffed to Deputy Marshal Matt Kenney, but the marshal was inexora ble, and it was go handcuffed or not at all. Turner chose the former alternative, and between Deputies Kenney and Leahy, and handcuffed to the former, he went to the New York Life building and spent an hour or two posting him self on law points. RATES ON KLONDIKE DOGS. Railroads Will Charge $3.70 From Chicago to Seattle. Chicago, Jan. 29. The western roads continued their meeting today for the purpose of considering the arrange ments to be made regarding the sale of Klondike tickets. Nothing but routing matters in rela tion to the sale of the tickets was con sidered today. It is going to cost $3.70 for every Klondike dog that is sent from Chicago to Seattle. So many of these animals have been brought to the railroads for shipment of late that they have been forced to make a through rate on dogs to the North Pacific coast points. Of the total charge the roads west of St. Paul will absorb $3, and the lines between Chicago and St. Paul will de mand 70 cents for every dog destined to the Klondike regions. ICE CREAM IN A MINUTE.

Magnificent Society Revel New York Millionaires. of One Hundred and Seventy-Fire Dancers in Red Dominoes. ENTIRE BALL ROOM Is Festooned With Red Roses and Ribbons. IV. K. Tanderbilt Leader of Grotesque Maskers. New York, Jan. 29. One hundred and seventy-five of the elect danced last night at the home of Robert R. Bishop, 881 Fifth avenue, in red dominoes. It might easily have been a masquerade in the time of Lorenzo de Medici, and the host intended it should be so. Ev erything was red. The lights, the flow ers, the favors, the confetti, the very liveries of the lackies combined with the gorgeously trimmed dominoes of the dancers to form a beautiful sym phony in red. The Louis XVI. ball room, one of the finest in New York, was garlanded with red roses, caught in festoons with broad red ribbons. All the great bronze vases overflowed with the splendor of red roses and there came a time when the floor was strewn with their petals, crushed by the glanc ing feet of the dancers. The overture of the "Barber, of Se ville," played on hidden strings and reeds, sounded a welcome to the arriv ing dominoes. Suddenly 16 of King Carnival's most devpted courtiers whisked upon the scene, their dominoes surmounted by elaborate masks fashioned to represent the heads of dogs and cats. The wom en were cats, the men dogs. Each wore a broad black satin bow under the chin inscribed in gilt letters with a name such as one would bestow upon a household pet. The band struck up a set of qua drilles and the 16 grotesque maskers squared off for the evolutions of a dou ble quadrille. It was really a romp, so thoroughly had the carnival spirit en tered into them. Not until after this revel was over was it learned that W. K. Vanderbilt and Harry Lehr had been the head and front of this diversion and that, of the gentler dominoes, Mrs. Ogden Mills had been "Minette;" Mrs. Henry Sloane "Dado;" Miss Evelyn Burden "Fifine;" Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish "Mousette;" Miss Hands "Mounmonte;" Mrs. Canfield, "Mouche," and Miss Anna Sands "Tou Tou." The announcement of supper at 1 o'clock was the signal for the domi noes to be dropped and the women emerged in superb ball costumes. Small supper tables had been laid in the dic ing room, the reception room, the hall and even the library with its magnif icent bronzes. The cotillion led by Worthington Whitehouse, was danced soon after 2 o'clock. For one of the late figures a mammoth red satin slipped heaped full of dolls, daintily dressed in red was carried to the center of the fioor and each one of the dancers received a doll. KLONDIKE'S DARK SIDE. Missouri Man Says There is No Work, Simply a Transportation Boom. Tipton, Mo., Jan. 29. The following letter was received today by Phil Frank from Gus Knoble. who left in company with Capt. A. Fiske Gore and John Sponsler, on August 6th, last, for Klon dike: "Seattle, ,Wn Jan. 23. Mr. Phil Frank: I walked into Skaguay on the 12th of this month from Dawson City, and had a month's rest in the frozen city, but the frost did not drive me out of there; only the lack of work and business. Klondike is not as good as they make it out. It is a railroad and steamship boom, and that is all that I can see in it at present. "I could not afford to w-ait for better times or take chances to walk out with nothing, while my provisions cost me $550, that would last me until next May or June, so I sold my provisions and came back. "Gore and Sponsler would have come out, but t hey were afraid to tackle the trip, although a great many will have to do it next summer. The first mail to Dawson I met on New Year's day about 350 miles this side of Dawson. I wish I had taken your advice; I would have been better off, but the experience I have had is worth $500 alone." HE SAW M'GRATlTsHOT. World of the "Town Topics" Company Caught the Unfortunate Han in His Arms. John W. World, one of the trio of comedians of the "Town Topics" com pany, was the man who caught Tom McGrath of this city in his arms after he was accidentally shot by W. M. Lytle. He was standing at one side of Mc Grath when the shooting occurred, and stepped forward just in time to catch the dying man in his arms. World was formerly in the shoe busi ness, and at the time that McGrath was shot at Concordia, Mo., he was visiting one of the performers connect ed with the Fu-lford Lytle show. Mc Grath was taking tickets and he was standing at one side talking to him. Lytle was in the ticket wagon, and in rumaging among the articles in one of the drawers, the revolver was acciden tally exploded. The bullet flew past World and entered McGrath's body un der the left arm. "There is no doubt that the shooting was accidental," said World. "Lytle simply struck the revolver accidental. y and it exploded. McGrath never utter ed a word after he was shut, and by the time we carried him to the menagerie tent, he was dead. The people wero just starting to crowd in for the show, and there was great excitement for a few minutes. But we had the band start to playing right away and open ed the show in a little while afterward, and in this way settled things. Lyt.e was terribly 'cut up' over the shooc- '"world picked up the ticket that Mc Grath was holding in his hand when no was shot, and has carried it with him ever since. This was the first time he visited Topeka since the shooting and it was his intention to give the ticket to Mrs. Josephine McGrath, but he forgot about until too late. He mailed it from Wichita to Judge John Guthrie, Mrs. McGrath's father by adoption. Safe, sweet and satisfactory, Ayer'B Pills are the best family physic

MORE IX TWO NIGHTS Tvas Seen Than Parkhurst Found in His Whole Round. Found Whole Squares of Dis reputable Houses. Philadeplphia, Pa.. Jan. 29. Seventy four ministers of the gospel in this city have organized a still hunt for disorderly nouses. They propose to prosecute the proprietors of these places on self-secured evidence. Rev. C. H. Woolston of the East Baptist church is one of the leaders In these Parkhurstian pilgrimages, which began- several weeks ago. So far as can be learned, there are in the neighborhood w disorderly houses in .Philadelphia. In the last six mimrhs fhprp hnuci hrn but three arrests, although many of the proprietors of the dens of iniquity have escaped prosecution by moving-. Mr. Woolston says that the actual work Is practically over, so far as personal in vestigation Roes. The varieties of vice he has met have astonished him, and he tninks that immorality is moving along at a gallop in this city. Said Mr. Wool- Eton: "We saw more vice In two nights than Parkhurst saw in his whole trin nrr.nnd New York. Whole squares we went to were made up of houses of bad repute eight and ten of them in a row. Some places they would ofter to perform sen sual Oriental dances, but required money oeiore tne performance would te given. In these places we would not put up the mcney. and so did not see the dances. "That is. we did not see any dances amoni; the white people. but we did amons the colored people around Eleventh find Callowhill streets. In one lipuse in this neighborhood the suggestive dance was performed the minute we got into the house, without compensation. They depend on the visitor to put up the shek els afterward. This house is visited by white men only. The woman told us that she had protection. "I have made fully a score of these visits, going to many houses in a night. With me were many prominent ministers. At different times I was accompanied by Rev. Winbigier of the Frankford Avenue Baptist church. Archdeacon Brady of the Kpiscopal church, who was very much in terested in the work, and Dr. William T. Chase of the Fifth Baptist. Tjr. Chase and Archdeacon Brady were present when those Oriental dances were performed. Mr. Gibboney of the Law and Order so ciety always wa3 with us. Rev. Robert Green of the Spring Garden Baptist church at Eighteenth and Master streets was with us. and also Rev. William T. Cambron, pastor of Calvary Baptist church. There was a Methodist minister, who was a stranger to me; President Lewis I'. Bean of the Sunday Breakfast association. Rr-v. J. R. Westwood, pastor of the Seventh Street Methodist church, and Rev. W. Ward Willis, pastor of the Is'orth Baptist church." "Where did you learn the addresses of the houses of bad ri1pute?"was asked. "That was asy enough. The assistant district attorney gave us the addresses of the places, and when we were in doubt the hack drivers would tell us which was the best of the whole lot. These hack drivers know all about such things; of course, they knew nothing about our Identity. "Don't understand me to say that we had any special group of men together all the time. The men T have mentioned were with me at different times, and others, whom I don't just now recall. were with me on some of the trips.

The Salinac Journal contains the. fol lowing- letter from W. B. Sampson, for merly or anna, now postmaster at Skasruay, Aliska, He says: "The weather here has been verv mild and up to this morning- the mer cury had been quivering about the freezing point, with alternate freezings and thawings. This morninsr a cold, drv wind blew from the pass, and the mercury sunk to zero; dui as tne day wanes it rises again, and we have plenty of slush again. "This Is quite a different climate from that in the interior where the mercury averages 50 degrees below zero in win ter. Those going into or comine out of the interior now use sleds pulled by the Esquimaux dogs, a cross between the domestic dog and wolf, five of which can pull provisions and outfit for two men. 'The average Klondiker takes an outfit weighing 300 pounds, as that is all that one man at one time can pos sibly carry in. The dogs are fed on grease, corn meal or dog salmon, and of course this feed must be calculated on. "The men eat beans, salt meat, ba con, rice and various kinds of dishes made of flour and water, etc. For clothing, they have good, heavy under wear, woolen of course, and heavy woolen mackinaw clothing, some times with a fur outer cloak, very loose. Heavy German woolen socks and moccasins are worn on the feet. A fur cap or hood covers up the face with the exception of the eyes. On the hands heavy woolen mittens are worn. At night they crawl into a sleeping bag and are wholly enclosed. These bags are composed of water tight canvas outer covering, lined within with sheep's felt, the fur turned inside. "Dawson is a town of about 4.000 in habitants and its wealth is estimated to be, in uncoined cash, one million. A conservative estimate puts the amount of gold that will have been taken out by spring, at 30 million. Dawson City is not, as reported, in danger of star vation. "There is food enough for all if equal ly distributed, and it can be gotten for high prices. "Sugar and whisky are the only two cheap commodities on the Dawson City market. "Here are some examples: Candles, $3 a piece; coal oil, $S per gallon; a pane of glass 6 by 8. $2; a sack of flour, $4; a padlock, $2, etc. "I do not think that the wealth of the interior in the least over-estimated. It is a poor mine indeed that won't net a man $10 a day. Besides the placer mines there are undoubtedly discoveries of rich quartz deposits yet to be made" FAKIR REACHES KLONDIKE Bogus Mine Entry Certificates Ready for the Unwary. Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 29. The Canadian government has just received a report from Maj. Walsh, written on Christmas eve, at Big Salmon river, in which he discusses the food problem as it will have to be faced after the territory is filled up with the new population that will go in next spring. He calculates that the river boats will not be able to land more than one half the supplies necessary to sustain the estimated population next summer. He does not believe that 50.000 people can get in. One part of his report con tains an important warning, of which the public should take notice. He says: I am informed that lii or 20 atrents and brokers have come out from Daw son City, carrying with them, some say, hundreds, some say thousands of certif icates for entries of mines on all the streams in the neighlvoihood of the Klondike river, upon which streams, I believe, there never was an ounce of gold found, and on other streams in the district and to the mountain tops, with the hope that they can be put on the market and be readily seized by the gullible public of the United States and Canada. They are trying to imitate the brokers of South Africa and Ross land, and there is no question but that it will be injurious to the country and to the good properties that may be put on the market.

The letter states that unless its enforcement is permanently secured before summer, theie is every probability of the opera tors attempting to make the law inop erative by securing individual contracts from the miners, taking advantage of the dull season.

The saloon of Frank Nace at Young America, 18 miles west of here, was totally destroyed by a mob, nothing being left of the premises to show that a saloon had ever existed there. During the day a little son of James Roach went to the saloon to get his father, and while there he was terribly beaten. The abuse to the boy enraged the vil lagers, and at night they gathered, to the number of 50, with axes.handspikes, crowbars, and hammers, and tore the saloon to atoms, leaving not a stick standing. The liquor was emptied into the street. Nace attempted to defend his proper ty, but several revolver shots drove him away. The mob, after destroying the saloon building, stoned the resi dence. The men were not masked and made no attempt at disguise, the par ticipants in the violence being the most prominent citizens. This is the fifth time the Nace saloon has been similarly demolished. There are three little things which do more work than any other three little things created they are the ant, the bee and DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the last being the famous little pills for stomach and liver troubles.

Probably half the people who see this article suffer from piles. It is one of the commonest diseases and one of the most obstinate. People have it for years and just because it is not imme diately fatal they neglect it. Careless ness causes no end of suffering. Care lessness about so simple a thing as piles has often caused death. Hemor rhages occurs during surgical treat ment, often causing death. Piles are simple in the beginning and easily cured. They can be cured even in the worst stages, without pain or loss of blood, quickly, surely and com pletely. There is only one remedy that will do it Pyramid Pile Cure. It allays the inflammation immed ately, heals the irritated surface and with continued treatment reduces the swel ling and puts the membranes into good, sound healthy condition.

Atchison.Jan. 29. Atchison had a vey disastrous fire between 2 and 3 o'clock in which millions of lives were lost. The apiary of Dr. P. C. Gress was complete ly destroyed by fire. This apiary repre sented 12 years of enthusiastic work in bee culture, and is said to have been the most complete in the state. Every thing, including 153 hives of bees, be sides numerous empty hives, 5,000 pounds of honey in crates ready for the market; 7.500 pounds of honey in the hives; 100 pounds of refined wax. The origin of the fire is unknown. The building was a three story frame structure, including the basement, and was substantial and well equipped. Dr. Gress estimates his loss at $1,500, which amount is only partly covered by insurance. Dr. Gress has spent several years of research and propagation in the bee business and it will require years to re place the loss. MAJORITY IDEA FOR JURY Is Knocked Out in the First Round by the Bar Association. Judge T. F. Garver introduced a res olution at the bar association meeting providing for the appointment of a committee of seven to draft a bill for passage by the next legislature chang ing the present law so that a majority of a jury might decide upon a case. The resolution created consternation among the lawyers and they immedi ately "jumped on" it and sent it to an ignominious death. The lawyers who criticised the idea were John Martin, C. B. Graves, J. G. Slonec ker, John E. Hessin, Sam Kim ble of Manhattan and W. S. Roark of Junction City. The lawyers may criticize it, but sub mit the question to the people to vote on and see how they decide it.

The importance of the creamery in dustry in Kansas is fully demonstrated by a statement recently prepared by Secretary J. E. Nissley of the Kansas Creamery company showing the aver age daily output of butter from the creameries in the state. The statement shows that there are 21 creameries in operation in Kansas, and that the total daily output of butter is 29,800 pounds.

Suit is Begun Against Stockholders in the Importing and Export ing Company. Lawyer Matt Campbell has filed a motion to enforce the collection of the double liability from farmers who were stockholders in the Western Importing and Exporting company and who have not paid. Mr. Campbell says that he was em ployed by President Dummer and not by Secretary Lockwood. He was, how ever, paid by Mr. Lockwood as the agent of President Dummer. Mr. Camp bell says that the officers are bona fide creditors of the company and put their money into the concern just as other farmers did. The fact remains that thousands of dollars were absorbed In the scheme and that some one is responsible. Who the responsible parties are is something that has not yet been unravelled. Settled in Four Rounds. Bert Trapp, a former Topeka boy, who now lives at Maple Hill, and a young fellow named Reed had a quar rel in a billiard hall Thursday evening, and decided to settle the matter in a bout with gloves. Together with a small crowd of hangers on at the bil liard hall they adjourned to a nearby bicycle store, and stripping off to the waist, engaged in a four round "go." Although Trapp was some 25 pounds lighter than his opponent, he had the best of the fight from the start, and succeeded in knocking Reed down three times. At the close of four rounds the two contestants shook hands and de clared the quarrel "square."

After a debate. animated at all times, and occasionally acrimonious, which occupied the greater part of the week, the senate last evening, by a decisive vote of 47 to t 32, passed the Teller concurrent resolu- I

xne resolution is a practical reaffirm- ation or that of Stanley Matthews, in 1S78, and is as follows "That all the bonds of the United States issued, or authorized to be is sued, under the said acts of congress hereinbefore recited, are payable, prin- j cipal and interest, at the option of the I government of the United States, in I silver dollars of the coinage of the Uni- j ted States, containing 412Va grains each of standard silver; and that to restore to its coinage such silver as a legal ten der in payment of said bonds, princi pal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith, nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor." j All efforts to amend the resolution 1 were, voted down bv malnritips raneinir -q V -1 I Mr. Lodges gold standard substitute j was defeated by 2a votes. The vote on the Lodge amendment was: Ayes, 24; j nays, 53. From 10 o'clock to 7 the contest was continued. When the voting began it was evident that party lines were be ing broken on both sides of the cham ber, but it was on the substitute of fered by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts j that the most decided break occurred. I On the Republican side, Mr. Allison of Iowa and Mr. Burrows of Michigan did not answer to their names on that roll call, and many of the Republicans voted directly against it. Upon the final passage of the resolution some Republicans who supported McKinley and the St. Louis platform in 18&6, like Carter of Montana, Chandler of New Hampshire, Clark of Wyoming. Pritch ard of North Carolina, Shoup of Idaho. Warren of Wyoming and Wolcott of Colorado, voted for the resolution, be cause, as Mr. Wolcott announced, they did not believe the resolution commit ted those who supported it to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. After the amendments were disposed of, the decks were cleared for the final vote on the Teller resolution. The earlier votes had shown that its passage was a foregone conclusion, yet there was the keenest interest at the culminating feature of the contest.

They are not dan ger- 4 y ously ill all at once. The -ss.via beginnings cf illness are mere trifles. First a little indigestion, per haps; or headaches; or an occasional bilious turn. It is hard to realize how you are be ing tangled up in th; strands of sickness until you are fairly caught. Nearly all seriocs illnesses "begin with some stomach or liver trouble, or with a costive condition of the bowels. These functions have got to-be put in good condi tion before there can be ar.y recovery from any disease no matter what its name or na ture, and it is because Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts directly upon the liver and digestive organs that it has such a marvelous effect upon all diseases of mal nutrition. It gives the digestive system cower to assimilate nourishment and make good blood it drives out bilious poisons it creates the red, vitalising, life-giving ele- ments in the circulation and builds up the wcaE ana wasted places in every corner ot the constitution.

Hundreds of Men Labor to Save It in Tain. TOTALLY DESTROYED All Freight Sent by Phoenix Passengers Transferred. Causes Santa Fe Such Trouble To Be Blasted Out. Ash Fork, A. T., Jan. 29. The Fair view tunnel which was yesterday tem porarily placed in repair, is again closed, blocking freight traffic on the Santa Fe Pacific. Shortly after mid night this morning the timbers which, had been placed so as to fill in the cave in space oovc, caught fire and the tun nel was totally Burned out notwith standing all the efforts that could put forth by the hundreds of men on the ground. Freight is being routed through by way of Phoenix and passen gers transferred around the tunnel. This tunnel is causing tb.3 company no end of trouble. At both ends of the tunnel the formation of the ledge is of limestone and in the center it is of shale. The work of rebuilding the tun nel has been going on ever since the fire was stopped but the work, has been carried on under the greatest difficulty the tunnel having caved in three times since the work has been in progress. If the situation that now confronts the workmen could have been foretold the rebuilding of the tunnel would prob ably have been abandoned and the tun nel roof would probably have been blasted and a deep cut made. Blasting may yet be resorted to and the tunnel idea given up. Division Superintendent .Tchn Denier, who was injured in the first cave-in during the fire, is reported as well on the road to recovery- FLOWERS FROM THE CORPSE. How a Gallant Baggageman Pleased His Lady Friends. A baggageman running out of La Junta is quite a favorite among some of the dance going young ladies. If the young ladies thought he had won their affections in the way that he at tempted to gain the friendship of a cer tain young lady they would undoubted ly resent it but they do not know. The baggageman had a scheme of ob taining riowers that was both novel and inexpensive. Quite often, as is the case on baggage cars, a corpse would be shipped in his car. It was not an unusual thing for a box or bunch of flowers to be placed upon the box. It was an easy matter to '"borrow" some of the flowers as the corpse would nev er miss them and they would do so much more good if they were given to some one who was alive. The flowers would often be tied with a neat piece of ribbon and then the ribbon would look so nice if it were used in the form of a bow on somebody's hair. All went well for a time and the gallant baggage man was a prime favorite with the young ladies who had received flowers from him. "Where do you get them?" the young ladies would ask. "Oh. from a fellow who was riding in the baggage car," would be his answer. One night the baggageman was going to a dance when he got to the end of the run. There was a corpse and a bunch of flowers on board. He borrowed some of the flowers and a nice long rib bon. The presentation was made with the air of a Chesterfield and all was lovely until a young lady noticed a card neatly pinned on the ribbon which read: "Please place at the head of John's grave." ROAD FROM PRESCOTT. The Santa Fe, Prescott Phoenix to Tap a Rich Mining District. Chicago, Jan. 29. The directors of the Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix Rail road company at a meeting held yester day in their office in the Monadnock building decided to build a line of rail way from Prescott, Ariz., into what is known as the .Big Bug mining district. The line will be twenty-six miles long and will penetrate one of the richest mining districts on the continent. The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix taps the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe main line at Ash Fork, Ariz., and runs south 200 miles to Phoenix, the capital of the territory, through some of the most interesting scenery in the United States. The r.ew line will cost $500,000 and it is expected that trains will be running by July 1. The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road was built entirely with western money. Its president is F. M. Murphy of Prescott and its di rectors and principal stockholders are NT. K. Fairbank, Jay Morton, president of the Hot Spring railroad company, and G. V. Kretzinger, of Chicago; C. C. Bowen, D. M. Ferry and Simon J. Mur phy, of Detroit: R. McCurdy, Youngs town. Ohio, and F. M. Murphy and W. C. Bashford of Arizona. CROWD OUT GERMANY. In Competition the American Loco motive Proves Superior. Pittsburg, Jan. 29. German builders of railroad locomotives wanted to fur nish some new locomotives for a Rus sian railroad, and until recently they had enjoyed almost exclusive trade in this respect with Russia. However, the Russians admitted competitive bids and left the door open for Ameri can manufacturers, and the result is that Pittsburg locomotives will go to the Czar's domain and will supersede German machines. It is said that the Pittsburg engine was found to be so far superior ih the quality of steel utilized, in the general construction and in adaptability, be cause of the rotary motion given to the fore trucks, that the Russian govern ment decided to accept the local en gines.

Campbell as agent at Sharon Springs. Mr. Campbell was given the station at Ellis. Brakeman Bombaugh was making a coupling at Smith Center. He was try ing to couple two cars fitted with auto matic couplers the head of one being broken with a link pin, when he caught his hand between the bumpers in such a manner that his second finger was completely cut off close to the hand. The firemen's ball at Goodland will be held the evening of February 14. The music will be furnished by an or chestra from Denver, and the hall will be tastefully decoratd. Notice was posted in the Union Pa cific shops at Ellis on Wednesday stating that the shops would be closed on Thursday morning and remain closed until further notice. This means 24 hours work a week for the men. Some of them quit, stating that they could not earn enough to pay their board. S. C. Kerr, a Rock Island brakeman who works on the south division out of Caldwell, has gone to South Dakota, where his family reside. He will be gone about thirty days. When the north bound passenger stopped at the water tank a piece of brown fur on the cowcatcher attract ed a crowd. When pulled out it was discovered to be a large brown shep perd dog, which the engineer said was caught on the creek bridge south of town. FROM LA JUNTA. Tilgham Howard has secured the po sion of night caller for train crews. Machinist John Mattinger arrived from Topeka and has gone to work in the shops. Master Mechanic John Forster has been confined to his home for a week past suffering from an attack of la grippe. Foreman Tom Gibson is at work on a gasoline motor which is to be attached to a railroad velocipede for the use of the roadmaster and other officials. It will be adjusted so as to be capable of attaining a speed of thirty miles an hour. The one in use in the bridge and building department took a party of officials to Rocky Ford last Sunday.and a speed of over thirty miles an hour was attained. Monday passenger conductorson the Santa Fe began running from Albu querque to Las Vegas, and from Las Vegas to La Junta, instead of through from Albuquerque as has heretofore been done. Conductors Stevenson, Carlile and Hayes will be on the run from Albuquerque to Las Vegas, and Stemil and Boucher will run north from Las Vegas. Conductor Richley will take the flyer. A boilermaker in the shops was standing with his back turned to a warming blaze, which had a com pressed air attachment. The blaze sud denly flared out and ignited his nether garments, which were saturated with grease. It was necessary to turn the hose on him. before the blaze was ex tinguished. NEW OFFICES CREATED.

Franklin MatthewsWrites From Observations. BRIGHT SKIES ALOFT. Sees the Sunflower State in Its True Colors. Harper's Weekly Gives Kansas a Great "Ad." The east is gradually forming a truer estimate of Kansas, her great fertility of product and resource. Below is printed by special permission from Harper Bros.' the principal por tions of Franklin Matthews' article in Harper's Weekly, based on a personal visit to the state: The investor, remembering only the loss of his money, would be likely to agree with Mr. Ingalls in declaring the arithmetic of Kansas more dazzling and bewildering than poetry. The truth is there is light in Kansas and it has been shining like a beacon in the middle west ever since the enormous crops of 1S97 were harvested, and it is also true that Kansas arithmetic has become more be wildering than poetry since that time, for the prosperity that those crops brought to the farmers reads like fairy tales, and in many cases is dazzling. One can form a correct opinion of Kan sas and its people better by going to the state and by speaking with its farmers, its storekeepers, its business men, its officials and its professional men than in any other way. It was for this purpose that in December last I visited the state and, in this and oth er articles to follow, the exact truth about Kansas and other western states is to be told as it was learned after dil igent investigation. One needs to be in Kansas only a few days to learn that the east has misun derstood the people of the Sunflower state as much as the people of that state have misunderstood the east. The real people of Kansas are no more re pudia'tors and cranks than the real peo ple of the east are shylocks and fanat ics. There is no patent process of arith metic whereby the eastern investor must pay losses and the western in vestor must not. And despite all that has been said to the contrary, it is easy to show that Kansas people, notwith standing the fact that millions of eastern dollars have been lost and swal lowed up forever through reckless mon ey lending as much as through reckless money borrowing, are not only debt payers, but among the best of debt pay ers in the country. During the boom times it became known that many investors in the east had been quietly making enormous profits in the state by lending money at high rates of interest. Forthwith there was a rush of capital from the east to share in this prosperity. A reg iment of loan companies was formed. At one time there were no less than 400 of these companies. Adventurers in the east and in Kansas formed many of them; it was so easjsifor a time to make money by the mere signing of notes and putting them up as collateral in your own loan company. The people of the east showered money over the state. It couldn't be kept out. Bonds of electric light companies, of water works and sewer enterprises, of street car companies, stock in banks, invest ment companies, and what not, in pla ces that were mere cross roads, and in places that did not exist at all, were subscribed for. THIEVING LOAN COMPANIES. It soon became necessary to use part of the principal to pay the alleged high interest. The era of swindling began Nearly all the loan companies had guaranteed that was an easy matter both interest and principal. Compa nies with a capital of $50.000 perhaps $10,000 of which was paid up had guar antees for millions out. Thousands upon thousands of dollars which the Kansas farmers paid on their loans were stolen deliberately, and hundreds of lawsuits over such cases are yet pending. One company, according to the report of the state bank commis sioner in 1S95, collected more than $375. 000 from the Kansas people, and delib erately stole it all. Forged satisfactions of mortgages were made out, and hun dreds of thousands of dollars were bor rowed on them under false pretenses. One company did $100,000 of such busi ness. Then there were bogus banks. The McPherson county bank was one of these. There was no such institution, yet hundreds of eastern investors sent their money to buy stock and bonds without investigating the matter. The famous Citizens' bank of Wichita was a veritable quicksand for eastern money. It was supposed to have a capital of 2 million dollars, and a surplus of $200, 000. It all vanished like a mist. Wich ita's town lots and tremendous office buildings out in the corn fields still re main, but the money is gone. No in vestors apparently were more reckless than the savings banks of New Hamp shire, most of which have since been wrecked because of their western in vestments. The variety and scope of the swindling that grew out of this un businesslike way of doing business were such that the bank commissioner, in his report for ISL'5, said: "The list of those who have been robbed by those rotten institutions is augmented, until today there is a small army of eastern people who believe that our state is populated with a class of conscienceless rascals whose sole busi ness is to prey upon the people of the east." The crash of the boom came, with its awful wreckage in Kansas and other states. The crops were fair in Kansas up to that time, and even unusual as late as the year 1S92. Then the hard times set in. Crops were light, the farmers had little money to spare for debts and eastern investors were called upon, under the double liability act, to put up more money in the state. Some of them did so, in the hope of saving part of what they had invested. Most of them let their investments go at once, and took what satisfaction they could by denouncing the people of the state indiscriminately as swindlers. Men in the east raised their hands and cried: "Can any good thing come out of Kansas?" Men in Kansas lifted their voices in reply and shouted: "Have the men of the east any god but money?" So the misunderstandings continued until the great crops of 1S97 came along and spread a blanket of prosperity all over the state. The effect has been like a refreshing sleep to a strong but phys ically exhausted man. The state has awakened in good humor. It has ceas ed to rail at the east. It is eager to pay its debts. It even has money of its own to loan. It wants the east to change its views to some extent also. It wants a hearing to show that it is not a community of cranks and repudi ators, and it has some figures, such as have never been printed before, to prove it. In my Investigations as to the in crease of business in Kansas, I had oc casion to visit Bank Commissioner Breidenthal. I asked him if there was any public data regarding eastern in vestments and the 'amount of money that had been lost and paid on them. He said that there was no official com pilation of such matters, and that the matter of mortgage indebtedness could only be secured by a laborious corres pondence with county officials. The United States census for 1890 had given the total amount of mortgage indebted ness, but exact figures since that time could not be secured. Mr. Breidenthal's entire business and official life has been taken up with such matters, and he volunteered some data from his own information and experience, which he said could not be disputed by any well informed person. NEITHER HOOFS NOR HORNS. Before giving this data it would be well to recall that Mr. Breidenthal is the man who, although the head of the Populist party in Kansas at the time, proclaimed, to the surprise of all, ear ly last summer, that prosperity had come to the state, and thus confounded calamity howlers. It was the first au thentic news regarding the matter from the state. Mr. Breidenthal was broad minded and fair enough not only to tell the whole truth about the matter, re gardless of politics and political effect, but to spread the matter broadcast throughout the land. He simply want ed the truth about Kansas known. It is also only fair to say that before go ing to see Mr. Breidenthal I had the opinion of him that has been prevalent somewhat in the east, that he was a smart political manipulator and in triguer. After less than half an hour's conversation with him I began to change my mind, and to believe that in many things he had been misrepresent ed. Before leaving him I became con vinced that he had neithers hoofs nor horns, and that although we disagreed politically, he was honest, capable and straightforward in thought and action. To make sure that my impression of him was correct, I went to the political leaders opposed to him, to the best known members of the bar in Topeka, to editors in various cities and towns, to merchants, bankers and farmers, and it is a pleasure to give the invariable answer to my inquiries as to Mr. Brei denthal's character and trustworthi ness. Summed up it was: "There is no more honorable man, no fairer political antagonist, no more pa triotic citizen in Kansas than John W. Breidenthal. You may depend on any figures he gives you absolutely." Here is the summary which Mr. Brei denthal makes of his figures: Total foreclosures in 20 years, 50 million dol lars; estimated absolute loss in 20 years. 25 million dollars; total interest paid in 20 years, 175 million dollars; net interest paid, deducting the total loss of 25 million dollars. 150 million dollars. The net sum paid despite losses, there fore, is 6 per cent of the entire invest ment. In other words, although no less than 25 million dollars have been lost out right to eastern investors in Kansas mortgages, the aggregate of such in debtedness has been reduced from 125 millions to 50 millions, and throughout all the hard times the state has paid, actually paid, upon its mortgages good and bad and indifferent the average interest of 6 per cent. Of course these figures apply only to the mortgages of the state involving eastern money.They cannot apply to the wild cat invest ments in municipal securities that se cured nothing except an easy way of making money for the "promoters." It was the speculative spirit and not the condition of Kansas and its agriculture that brought ruin in its wake. KANSAS IS A WONDER. There mav be inquiry as to how Kansas could pay off so much of her mortgage in debtedness since lsfO. One reason is that a change in the law in that year gave the mortgagee the privilege of paying off a mortgage in installments of $1'W or mul tiples of that sum. and thousands of farmers availed themselves of that privi lege, and this year will see their farms clear despite the hard times. But how did thev get the money, even the small sums? The answer is found in the amaz ing productiveness of Kansas since IsrtO, notwithstanding the crop failures. The state agricultural department's figures show that since 1S90 the farmers of the state have raised in crops and live stock nearly 2 billion dollars' worth of produce. The value of those seven years of produce is more than the national debt of the United States. The grand total for 1S97 is put at 2) million dollars. The product of Kansas farms for 1S:7 was 41 million dollars more than in 1S95, and of this in crease 15 million dollars was in corn, wheat and oats. Another article will deal with this increase in wealth and what it has meant to Kansas. Supplementing Mr. Breidenthal s state ment I am at liberty to quote what Ma jor Hood, president of the leading bank of Emporia, one of the men most promi nently mentioned for the Republican nom ination for governor at the next election, when the Republicans expect to win. said to me of Kansas debts and debt paying: "I have lived here." said Major Hood, "twenty-six years, and have been in the banking business most of that time, and in all mv experience I have never seen such a desire to pav debts and such a re sult in debt paying in this state as we have had in 1S97." Further testimonv as to Kansas deDt paving lies in the fact that in Kansas, as in "Nebraska and other states of the mid dle west, the loan business, as it was formerly conducted, is over. Hunureds of thousands of dollars of eastern money have been sent back since last fall be cause there was no market for it. tmly recently a bank official in central New York received letters of inquiry from Kan sas asking as to the value of certain in vestments. Some persons in Kansas had monev to lend in the east. It is a fact bevorid dispute that western mortgages are being paid off far in advance of ma turity One .went of a loan company told me that from the west alone returns on unmatured loans were coming in at n?s office at the rate of 50W a week ket even for his western money. in view of these facts. I think it is fa; to say that the present aim of Kansas 1 the iVroperi'tv that came to the state in JCtT we shall in another article. I think Tr-tlv there is light in'Kansas now. and when "one considers what she has done in twentv years, he may say that ir.

FEW HARDY WHEATS. Bulletin No. 7 of the Kansas Agricul tural college experiment station which relates to the result obtained in the cultivation of wheat last year, is out and contains the following summery: 1. Wheat grown continuously with out manure on a measured acre, for 17 years in succession, has produced an average yearly yield of 19.57 bushels. The crop was completely winter-killed during three of these years, so that on ly 14 crops were harvested, and two of them were partly winter-killed. The average yield of the 14 crops harvested is 23.76 bushels. 2. Subsoiling for wheat has not bene fited the yield. It has, on the contra ry, apparently reduced the yield over that on surface-plowed ground in near ly every instance it has been tried. 3. Aj to the time of seeding wheat, the results of the past season's experi ments confirm those of former years. The best yields were obtained from seedings made about the third week in September. 4. The rotation experiments are just beginning to give results, though they have not run long enough as yet to warrant definite conclusions. They do Bhow, however, that a yearly applica tion of 20 tons of barn-yard manure to the acre is decidedly detrimental.in that It causes an excessive growth of straw and a failure to develop kernel. 5. The rotation experiments in which wheat is followed by some leguminous catch-crop, sown as soon as the wheat Is harvested and removed or plowed under in time to again sow the ground to wheat that same fall, have only just been begun, the past year being the on ly season in which wheat has been grown on this plan. The wheat seeded on soy-bean stubbla gave the best yields. 6. The test of varieties Is of special interest the present year, in that it shows the comparative hardiness of some 50 leading varieties grown at the station for several years. Out of the whole number, only the Turkey, Tas fnanian Red and Crimean withstood the severe freeze in November so as to yield at the rate of ten bushels or more per acre. VThen you see the statement in a Kansas paper that "This town is one of the best show towns on earth," then you know there is a kick coming about the kind of entertainments given to the local "opry house." The czar is getting a reputation sec ond only to that of satan himself. What ever mischief is going on in the diplo matic world, he is accused of having a band in it. FAMILIAR KANSAS NAMES.

(From the Atchison Globe.) No one is your friend who apologizes for you. After a man becomes old, two days seem to go at a time. The men who used to start newspa pers are now starting, lodges. If an Atchison man must die or leave town, we should like to pick him out. As a rule, a good thing will work itself; a good thing does not need "cap ital." -rTTw. o man rptirps from business. he usually does nothing after that but snarl. A fat man considers that it i3 aSi. im polite to inquire a man's weight, as his age. mv. ..tM o o-ivi tna of her admir ers, always remind us of the stories that come out of Oklahoma. An Atchison aristocrat who is possi bly worth $7,000, wants all the laboring men put in jail. People who admire sensational liter ature should quit Brann's Inconoclast, and subscribe for the medical month lies. Whenever you hear that a prosperous farmer, or prosperous merchant, has given up his business to become a mis sionary in Africa, you can doubt the "prosperous" part of the story. A man never boasts of the number of women who have admired him, for the reason that there is a secret sting in the thought that with so many women in the world, there were so few of them. When a man buys a ticket to a lec ture he pays out hard earned money for the privilege of hearing that he doesn't live right, doesn't eat right, doesn't sleep right, and doesn't do any thing right. Nothing has been written of late years that has caused so much indig nation among the women as an article in the last number of the Ladies' Home Journal, entitled: "How Women Can Dress on $50 a Year." A well known society woman, in stepping from a street car today raised her dress so high that a number of men noticed that she had on no stockings. (She wasn't a well known society wo man: we just said that to add interest to the item.) 1YH0 IS THE YOUNG MAN? One of the Topeka "Smart Set" Gets In An Embarrassing Position. A Topeka young man, who moves in the "smart set" and who is considered a favorite with the fair sex, recently at tended one of those dances where Bo hemians go, and where there is a little of that which is warranted to drive dull care away. It happened that it was a masquerade ball. He met a trim young woman in a gay suit and they had sev eral dances together. The young soci ety man was charmed and he asked the young woman if he might call on her. Drawing him to one side she said cau tiously: "I work at street. Come some Saturday evening." The young man promised to do so. A few days afterward the same young man dressed in his best and started out to make a call on a very particular lady friend of his. She is a well known society young lady of To peka. Going to the front door of her house he rang the bell. What was his astonishment to be met at the door by the young woman whom he had met at the masquerade ball. She was even more surprised than he. Stepping out side the door and closing it she whisp ered to the society man, "For goodness sake, go to the back door. They don't allow me to receive company at the front door." The young man paused a moment. He wanted to see the young lady who lived at the house, so he told the ser vant girl whom he wished to see. When the society young lady came into the parlor she found her caller blushing vi olently, but in spite of his embarrass ment he would not hint at the cause of hla discomfiture. KANSASNEWS. Sumner County Farmers Want Rabbit Bounty Again. Declare the Pests Are Destroy ing Their Grain, GIVE S03IE FIGURES. Hutchinson Band Wants to Use Will Haskell. St. Clair Found Guilty of Mur der at Kinsley. Wellington, Jan. 29. The farmers of Sumner county are determined that the war on rabbits shall be continued, and petitions praying the county commis sioners to restore the bounty of three cents on scalps are being circulated in every township. The petitions are be ing generally signed. Very few farm ers are opposed to the bounty. An or dinary Kansas jack rabbit, well up in the art of foraging, if turned loose in a cornfield at night will succeed in eat ing and destroying a good portion of a shock of corn. The petitioners expect the commis sioners to meet in special session soon for the purpose of complying with their request. QUEER OLD LAW CASE. J. G. Waters Attorney in An Interest ing Suit From Jefferson County. Oskaloosa, Jan. 29. W. F. Gilluly, was at Topeka this week and, In con nection with Capt. Waters, prepared a brief in the Haenky-Weishaar case in the supreme court. When Mrs. Weishaar of Norton town ship, many years ao agreed to marry John Haenky of Leavenworth, they made an ante-nuptial contract that the 80-acre Weishaar farm in Jefferson county, together with all that mig-ht be added to it by future labors of the fam ily, should be the property of the sur viving' one of the wedded couple after the death of the other, and should then revert in equal portions to Mrs. Weish aar's five sons and to any children that that might result from the union. One son was born to the Haenkys and grew to manhood: the farm grew to 320 acres: the boys scattered out to farms of their own; the mother died; the father grew feeble, and, mentally unable to do bus iness; he spent his last days with his son Frank, in Atchison, and died there. Some time after his death. Jos Weish aar went to Atchison and asked Frank about a settlement and division. Frank expressed surprise and said there was none to make, that he owned the farm himself. Investigation showed that the old man had deeded the farm to Frank, who had subsequently put two mort gages on it, borrowing between two and three thousand dollars on it. Suit in the district court gave the Weishaar boys the farm and it was sold for $8,000, subject of course to the mortgages. SWINDLED THE FARMERS. A Doctor Secures the Notes of Paw nee County Farmers for Alleg ed Services. Larned, Jan. 29. Dr. F. Dosch. who claims to represent a medical institute infirmary and sanitarium at Chicago, has been working the farmers of this county. He convinced a large number of far mers that they were unconsciously suf fering from extremely complicated and very dangerous maladies, and contract ed to treat and guarantee to cure them for a stipulated number of dollars, to be paid from 90 days to nine months af ter date, according to the length of the treatment desired. These promises to pay for said treat ment were put in the shape of notes, which the doctor promptly discounted, and left for other fields. Notes ranging all the way from $25 to $150, and ag gregating a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, have come into the possession of purchasers here, and the farmers who gave them have no recourse. THEIR SILVER WEDDING. Russell Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Otis L. Atherton Give Them a Surprise. The Russell Journal says: Thursday, January 20 marked the twenty-fifth mile stone of the marriage of Otis L.

My mother was subject to Bick head aches and indigestion for over a year. She was unable to stand for any length of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark room as she could not bear the light. She had no appetite whatever and her stomach was so weak she could not retain what food she did eat. She also had severe pains in her head. She suffered so much that she became but the shadow of her self. One day I happened to read a tes timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla. It Sounded So Truthful I persuaded her to try this medicine. Before finishing the first bottle there was an improvement in her condition. She no longer threw up her food and her head ache was not as severe. She took in all four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained her weight. She is now enjoying the best of health. Her digestion is good and she can eat almost anything she wishes. She is 42 years old and says she feels as well as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla made a complete cure in her case."

"Aunt Em" Disappears at Pittsburg After Telling About a Murder. Pittsburg. Jan. 29. Great excitement prevails among the colored population of this city over the mysterious disap pearance of an old negress named Mrs. Mary Sykes, generally known among them as "Aunt Em." She enjoyed the reputation among them of a seeress.and lately had been making the assertion that she had discovered the murderers of W. A. Chapman, a white merchant, who was foully murdered in his store in this city two or three years ago. A few days ago "Aunt Em" said she had absolute proof against the assas sins, and since then she has not been seen. The colored people, many of them, believe that she has been foully dealt with, and they have been search ing for her. A report that she has been murdered and thrown in Playter's lake caused her friends to drag the lake yesterday and today without finding the object of their search. Day of Prayer at Baker College. Baldwin. Jan. 29. As yesterday was the day of prayer for colleges, none of the regular classes met except the first, after which chapel exercises were held. Rev. C. S.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 17tli day of January. is'JS. (SEAL.) F. M. BONEBKKK. JSotary l'ubltc. To the Members of the Association: In accordance -with our usual custom, we submit herewith the fourth annual statement of this Association, at the close of business December 31st, 1897, as shown by the secretary's books, and confirmed by his certificate above, sup ported by that of the auditing committee. It is a pleasure to again call your attention to the marked advance made during the past six months, which by comparison is found to be $27,398.16, making a total gain for the year of $54,027.14, or 73 per cent. Considering the condition of business generally during that period, this is a remarkable showing. The loans represented by the above figures comprise 149 carefully selected first mortgages on improved real estate, the actual value of the properties securing them being, at present valuations, over $190,000. These loans are all in excellent condition, and repayments of over $15,000.00 have already been made thereon. By our monthly in stallment plan, the balances are being repaid at the rate of $2,000 every 30 days. It will be readily seen, therefore, that periodically, the relative proportion of each loan to the value of the property is decreased. The profits actually earned and paid during the last six months, as for all similar periods, have been most satis factory; ample dividends have been credited to all shareholders, and their investments are progressing at the proper ratio to mature at the time certificates specify. In view of these statements and the further fact that at all times since its incorporation this institution has had more than enough funds to make all good loans offered, as also to meet all withdrawals on demand, we believe it is not only a successful institution, but solvent and safe, and entitled to your favorable consideration.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVEXIXG, JANUARY 29, 1898. 5 IS A NICE LITTLEPARTY. The "Sound Money" Democrats of Kansas Who Would Fill About Half of Hamilton Hall, If All Assembled, THIS TIME A HE GOIXG To "Assert Themselves" and "Stand by Their Principles." Last of the Mohicans Gives At tenuated Warwhoop. That there will be a straight Demo cratic ticket in the field in Kansas at the next state election, now seems pro bable. The "sound money" Democrats, who cast as many as 1,200 vote-s all told in Kansas, are already engaged in mak ing plans forthe appruachingcampaign. They will participate in the coming fight, but 'will not sacrifice their prin ciples" in the interest of fusion and of fice seeking. They say they will maintain the par ty organization and permit the silver ites t drift where they will. As the silverites number some 75,000 former Democrats, they feel quite capable of "drifting." Sam Kimble of Manhattan Is one of the leaders of the gold standard Demo cratic party in Kansas. He undoubt edly speaks advisedly when he declares that the supporters of that po litical doctrine will at the proper time "assert themselves" and "stand by the principles" in which they have previ ously experienced an abiding faith. Mr. Kimble has no sympathy with the movement to deliver the Democratic party to the Populists. Being asked for an opinion as to the political situation in Kansas, his eye kindled, as he said: "I have been too busy with my law practice to give much attention to the subject of politics, yet, I am free to say the political situation is always one of much interest to me." Being asked if he thought there would be fusion in the next campaign, he replied: "Do I think there will be fusion in the next campaign? I answer that question with a fair understanding of the term yes, I think there will be. That is to say, I feel satisfied that the free silver wing of the Democracy and Populism, being in truth and in fact identical, wiil fuse after a reasonable amount of horse play is indulged in for the pur pose of place or position or possibly ef fect on the uninitiated. "If I am correctly informed, the fol lowers of Mack Love are not making any principle the condition of fusion but a "restraint of hug' on the part of the Populist brethren is the point in sisted upon by them as a condition precedent. "This seems to be the whole question in a nut shell, and I have no doubt the swinishness will in due time subdue and equalize itself." Asked if the national Democracy would be against fusion, Mr. Kimble said "Yes, certainly. If the upholders of the Chicago free riot, free silver plat form want to be Populists, we certain ly have.no right or reason to object. But if you infer that we will not resist the supremacy of the fusion with all our might and suul, you mistake the earnestness and intem-ity of the na tional Democracy of Kansas. "We are national Democrats for con science's sake: because we believe in what we understand to be the true principles of Democracy. These princi ples aie antagonistic to both the Re publican and the Bryan Democracy or Populistic faith. "We shall assert our principles in due season with dignity and honesty of purpose and forsake them never." MURDOCK OUT FOR CONGRESS. The Butler County Man is Here to Push His Boom Along. Thomas Benton Murdock of El Dora do got off the street car in front of the Copeland at 2 oVlik Friday afternoon, stepping into a pool of slush and snow. He gazed up and down the street then looked at the hotel, remarking in an undertone: "Whac a nice time of day for a man to get into a town. What in the world can I find to do until 'Colonel Cope' gets supper ivady." Strolling into the hotel Mr. Murdock stepped inside the door as a boy rushed up to take his grip. Looking the lad over carefully Mr. Murdock said: "Don't drop it boy." He tnen handed the grip to the porter very tenderly. Mr. Murdock was soon surrounded hv a group of newspaper men. I'pon being asked whom he personally favored for governor, Mr. Murdock said with grave solemnity: "Butler county is fur the Republican nominee. So am I." "Who do you think will be the Repub lican nominee?" "The man who has the most votes in the convention" replied Mr. Murdock suavely. A half dozen experienced interviewers tried their hands but all received the same answers to this absorbing ques tion of interest. Mr. Murdock inspected the register to ascertain if any of his rivals" for the congressional nomination in the Fourth district had preceded him for the Kan sas Day celebration. Being satisfied that the opposition was not present he said: "It seems to me that arrangements hava been made by some men in every county in the Fourth district to take his congressional delegation to the conven tion and have a few votes cast for him self. I always meant to keep up with Republican fashions and I believe I will ask my friends to stand bv me in Butler county, am do the same. "I see no reason" he continued, "why I can't go to the convention with as big a procession as anvbody else I would like to go to congress, but I will not make a fight for the nomination. I will leave the matter in the hands of ra friends and abide, cheerfully by their decision." FOSTER GOOD ENOUGH. Chairman Taylor Riddle Says Popu lists Like J udge C. G. Foster. uSinfe ,JutJse C. G. Foster sustained the stock yards law. passed by the Pon uhst legislature, the members of that party have ceased to advocate the abo lition of federal courts Chairman Taylor Riddle, who was among the first to endorse the agitation In that line, is now opposed to it, and la also opposed to the creation of a new federal district in Kansas. He "She people are opposed to this prop- osition. It would cost between $25,000 and $50,000 a year, and be of no real benefit to anybody. Our people are sat isfied with Judge Foster. He is on the side of honesty, justice and the people, and we don't care to take the chances of getting a judge who would work in the interest of the corporations and give us more government by injunction than would be good for the people." As S. R. Peters is confident of secur ing the appointment. Mr. Riddle evi dently intends to put the stamp of dis approval upon him at the outset. SEVENTH DISTRICT FIGHT. Nearly as Hot in One Party as in the Other. From some of the Seventh district Republicans who are in the city, it is ascertained that the candidacy of W. E. Stanley of Wichita for governor is in the interests of Chester I. Long for congressman, the Stanley followers hoping to make such a showing for governor that F. W. Bentley. who is running for congress, will retire and give Mr. Stanley full opportunity. Bentley's friends do not propose to be fooled and are working away. O. Z. Smith, a member of the Repub lican state committee, from Sedgwick county, is in the city attending the Kansas Day campaign. He said to day: "The Republicans of the Seventh dis triet will be without representation in j congress for another term if Chester I. j Long is nominated. He simply can't be elected, and that's all there is to it. He is trying to make the distribution of postotlices a stepping stone to con gress, but the people are onto him now V "T. ii i i X I,,,,,, y"" jt ldl"l'inl 1 CONGRESSMAN CHAS. CURTIS. 5 W. T.

M.MILLER, Council Grove. as they never were before, and will take especial delight in keeping him at home." DAVIS' FUSION SCHEME. Would Make Division of Spoils After the Election. J. A. Davis of this city has a fusion scheme which is interesting the silver Republicans and the Democrats in no small degree. Mr. Davis suggests that the silver Republicans meet in the state conven tion on the same day the Populists hold their convention, and endorse the Populist state ticket, with the under standing that the ticket goes on the official ballot under the head "free sil ver Republican." Mr. Davis also suggests a similar plan to the Democrats. He explains his scheme by saying: "This method, when the returns are all in, will show exactly how many votes each party casts for the fusion ticket. I can conceive no other arrange ment which would bring such a re sult." This much being accomplished, Mr. Mr. Davis wants the Populists to con cede to the Democrats and silverites, the state patronage according to the percentage of the total vote cast by the three parties. The silver Republicans claim the credit of electing the present state of ficers, but they control only 4 per cent of the patronage. The scheme has also been endorsed by some of the Democrats, but mem bers of that party are now standing out for a place on the state ticket in exchange for their support of the Pop ulist ticket. THINKS TURNER WILL STAY. W. S. Hancock Says the Fight on Him is a Personal One. W. S. Hancock .of Mankato, a Jewell county Populist, said today: "I believe the fight on R. W. Turner will be called off by the secretary of state. It is a matter which emanates from not to exceed Ave individuals and really does not in any manner repre sent the sentiment of the people of our county. "To Turner does not belong the credit of having elected Dick Pickler judge. He did no more than other individuals. Several hundred Populists voted for Pickler because -they regarded him as the better qualified for the office. Mr. Sutherland was, county attorney, but the people did not want him for judge. The people do not want Turner remov ed, and the complaints which have been made against him, in my opinion, are not based upon a desire to improve the public service, but on personal spite." NAT BARNES FOR COBtXRN. Thinks His Nomination 'Would Setljle the Wyandotte Fight. Nat Barnes, postmaster at Kansas City, is out in an open letter, calling upon the Republicans of Wyandotte county to stand by F. D. Coburn, for governor. "The best thing that could be done by the Republicans of Kansas," says Mr. Barnes, "is to give the governor to Wyandotte county. This would re move our factional differences and ev ery voter in the county would take off his coat and go to work for him." Mr. Barnes commends the Coburn boom because it is spontaneous. Shrewd politicians suggest that Barnes' atti tude may hurt Mr. Coburn, as the postmaster is not in close touch with the Republicans of Wyandotte county, because of his appointment as post master.

One of Congressman Curtis' First Call ers Had an Ax to Grind. One of the first men to call on Con gressman Curtis after hia arrival to day was O. E. McElfresh of Osage City, who is a candidate for postmaster there. Mr. McElfresh was a member of the working committee representing the Republican headquarters during the last campaign, having charge of Osage, Wabaunsee and Pottawatomie coun ties. He pressed his claims personally and was assisted by T. L. Marshall, Sheriff James Hoover and E. G. Pipp, the lat ter being an aspirant to congressional honors in the Fourth district. Mr. Pipp publishes a paper at Burlingame. CANDIDATES HERE. Seeking Acquaintance of Influential Young Republicans.

Hessin is the man the Repub licans should nominate for governor. The Atwood Citizen in reply to the announcement of the Russell Record, that Harry Pestana will not be a candi date for congress in the Sixth district this year, says: "If Mr. Pestana had been given a second chance in 1894, as Abe Ellis was in 1896, we would have had a Republican congressman instead of Baker in his last term and instead of what's his name McCormack now." o It is said that Chairman M. M. Beck of the First congressional district Re publican committee, purposes to call an early convention in order to get It out of the way. The basis of representa tion will be one delegate for every 250 votes cast for W. C. Edwards for sec- retary of state, which would make a convention of 107 delegates 54 necessa- i ry to elect proportioned as follows: Atchison, 13; Doniphan, 10; Jefferson, 9; Nemaha, 10; Brown, 12; Jackson, 9; Leavenworth, 16; Shawnee, 28. Congressman Botkin will soon intro duce a reform pension bill in which the principal section, prepared by Depart ment Commander Botkin, provides: "The rules of evidence in record courts of justice shall be adopted and adhered to by the pension bureau in the adjudi cation of all pension claims, and that any rule or regulation of the said pen sion bureau not strictly In conformity to this provision shall be null and void. o H. F. Giessler, who represented Lo gan county in the last legislature, is a new candidate for congress among the Republicans of the Sixth district. The removal of Capt. W. S. Tilton to Ne braska takes a strong man out of the race. He was not an avowed candidate but he had a large following for the place. The Colored Citizen, the Topeka Pop ulist paper, has abandoned the project to move to Kansas City. P. C. Thom as, business manager of the paper.says: "The report that we proposed to move was started by enemies of the paper. We commenced business here and mean to stay." Charles E. Lobdell of Kansas City came in this morning, picked up a few subscribers for his paper, the Tribune, and returned home this afternoon. Fred Richter, Judge T. B. Wall, A. C. Jobes and Oscar Smith of Wichita, are in town pushing the candidacy of V. E. Stanley for governor. A delegation of Cowley county Re publicans, including Mr. Wilkin himself, are at work for him for state treasurer among the visitors. The Sixth congressional district com mittee will meet at Colby, February 25, to fix a date and place for holding a convention to nominate a candidate for congress. Newt Ury came to town today. He participated in a cakewaik at nome iasi night, impersonating a negro woman, j The committee awarded the prize to an- other person but Col. Ury stole it and left the hall. I "I have not made up my mind," is the reply an interviewer meets when he asks the average Republican visitor concerning his preference for governor. Nat Barnes' support of Secretary Co burn for governor is said to be due to the fact that he wants to get the Re publicans against Cubbison and Bu chan for congress in Wyandotte county and eventually deliver the county to Major Hood. j W. C. Edwards, who Is a candidate for governor, favors a convention at a j reasonably early date and a lively cam- j paign from start to finish. NAVIES TO MEET.

B0XEBRAKE IS Foreman of the Jury That Ac quitted Nick Chiles. Mr. Bonebrake Criticises Meth ods of Getting Evidence. "We, the jury in the above entitled case, find the defendant, Nick Chiles, not guilty as charged In the informa tion. "P. I. BONEBRAKE, "Foreman." That was the more or less startling verdict that was returned Friday ev- P. I. BONEBRAKE. ening by Mr. Bonebrake, president of the Central National bank, and one of the most prominent prohibitionists in the city. Judge Hazen had ordered a panel of business men, and Mr. Bonebrake was in the lot brought into court by Sheriff Cook. William Green and C. E. Gris wold were excused, but Mr. Bonebrake was not objected to by Chiles' attor neys, and he was elected foreman as soon as the jury retired. This was the second case against Chiles tried this term, and it was for selling liquor during the Fall Festival in the dining hall at the fair grounds. J. J. Henderson and R. S. Pond, two Washburn students, were the princi pal witnesses. Mr. Bonebrake said when asked why the jury acquitted Chiles: "There was nothing else to do. Two men swore positively that Chiles was up town in his hotel at the time the boys claimed to have bought liquor at the fair grounds. Then one of the boys was not positive that the man at the door was Chiles. Frank Ellison, who had charge of the privileges, testified that he rented th dining hall to Mrs. Chiles, and that helped Nick out. "I had no doubt in my own mind that Chiles was guilty, for I was on the gate at the fair grounds, and saw how things were running. In fact, I made an in vestigation for myself and was satis fied that the place was one where liq uor was being sold, but when it comes to weighing evidence, it is a different thing. Chiles may have been guilty, but he was not proven guilty, and the jurv had no other alternative than to bring in a verdict of acquittal. That jury would have been glad to convict. Nothing would have pleased us better, but we could not do it in the face of the evidence. "This committee of Seventeen has used the wrong method to secure evi dence. They went to Kansas City and hired detectives and sent boys around who were strangers. The right way to work would have been to hire men who NICK are well acquainted to go In and get names of men who drink at the places. There are dozens and dozens of men who drink beer who would not lie about it when placed on the witness stand." Will Taylor, another member of the jury said: "I see now why it is that more Jointists are not convicted in the district court. The cases are not prop erly worked up. I am glad that I served on the jury for I found out where the trouble lies." Nick Chiles was in great glee when the verdict was announced. "I tell you I feel fine," said he. "When a man is acquitted by such men as those, that is getting justice. That is one of the best juries I ever saw." The jury was composed of the follow ing gentlemen: P. I. Bonebrake, W. S. Kale, the grocer; W. P. Bryan, con tractor; T. A. Beck, grain and feed merchant; Wm. Taylor, the bieyele dealer; G. W. Greenwood, a prominent prohibitionist, and G. E. Tibbs, .S. E. Tillman. R. P.

Ingersoll, member of the Colorado board of control, in writ ing Mrs. Thorpe for pointers on hu mane work, says: "In our state we have a difficult prob lem to solve, as I suppose Kansas has had before us. At any rate, we are now in the throes, and with our mixed political situation, and each tanget of every party and every club, philan thropic, educational, etc., investigating, reproving, exonerating, advising, sug gesting and reporting, you may be able to see we are in need of council from those who have 'blazed the way which we are seeking.' The best way to teach and what will make good citizens of the greater number, are among the studies constantly on the minds and hearts of the board of control." GUILTY F.lAfl FOUND. Evidence Points to Pierpont Morgan as the Man Paying For Hanna Totes. Columbus. O.. Jan. 29. The two star witnesses in the alleged senatorial bri bery investigation have been examined by the senate investigation committee. They are Representative J. C. Otis, of Hamilton county, who claims to have been offered a bribe to vote for Senator Hanna, and Thomas C. Campbell, at torney, who acted as the legal represen tative of Otis. There was nothing in the testimony of either witness to even indicate that Senator Hanna, Major Dick or Major Rathbone had any con nection with General Boyce, throuch whom it is claimed the alleged negotia tions were conducted. In fact. Attor ney Campbell, who came all the way from New York to testify, took occasion to say he did not believe Senator Han na was interested in or knew Boyce. Moreover, Boyce himself had declared to Campbell that he did not know Mr. Hanna and that if his personal wishes were consulted he would prefer to see him defeated. Campbell produced a roll of bills in denominations of $H'0 and $50, aggregating $1,750. which he claim ed Boyce had paid to him during the negotiations. Campbell said if Boyce returned to Hamilton county, he would be glad to return the money, otherwise he would use part of it in pushing a suit for damages against a Columbus paper. Representative Otis testified that he had met Henry Harrison Boyce in Cin cinnati first on the evening of January 7, last. About 11 o'clock on the morn ing of that day, Friday, he received a long distance telephone message from a man at the Great Southern hotel In Columbus, who said he was General Boyce, that he had come on from New York, and wished to see him on import ant business. Mr. Otis told him that if he would come to Cincinnati he could see him. Between 5 and 6 o'clock Otis went to the Gibson House and to Boyce's room, No. 226. He met Boyce and the latter said to him that though he was a stranger to Otis, he wished to see him on very important business; that he represented J. Pierpont Mor gan, of New York; that Mr. Morgan had great interests in Ohio, which he desired to have looked after and that he was also a friend of Mr. C. C. Shane of New York. CHILES. During the conversation the senator ial matter was touched upon and Boyce asked as to Mr. Hanna's chances, to which Otis replied that he did not think them very good. Boyce said that night or the following night, that Mr. Shano was to have an interview with Presi dent McKinley; that both the president and Mr. Shane were interested in the Ohio situation, especially the former. Personally, Boyce said he did not ore who was elected. After telling Air. Otis a number of other stories after the same fashion, they separated, with an understanding that another meeting would be held the following afternoon. Saturday, at 3 o'clock. Then it was that Mr. Otis decided he needed a lawyer and went to see Mr. Campbell. A meet ing took place the next afternoon at the Gibson House. The conversation was largely along the same line as at the preceding meeting. Finally Boyce and Campbell were introduced and most of the business after that was transacted between them.

Childbirth relieved of pain and danger Happy mothers and perfect children Such are the glorious achievements of advanced medical science.

"Mother's Friend," the famous liniment prepared by the Brad field Regulator Com pany, of Atlanta, Ga., is declared by physicians and druggists to be the only scientific and logical treatment for the ailments of pregnancy, and the only remedial agent which gives the body the necessary strength and elasticity to endure the strain of childbirth.

CHARGE IT TO THE LORD. Cemetery Association With an Origi nal System of Doing Business. The majority of the cemetery associ ations chartered under the laws of Kansas are corporations for profit, but according to a letter received by Secre tary of State Bush today there Is one association which is in existence for anything else but profit. It is the Pleasant Valley Cemetery association of Arcadia, and in reply to a corpora tion blank sent out by Mr. Bus,h the president of the association addressed him the following letter: "The Pleasant Valley Cemetery asso ciation is not a corporation for profit, and we never sell a lot unless one dies and the friends are able to buy a lot. If they can't scrape up $5, the price for a lot, we just give It to them, and charge it up to the Lord, and let it ap ply on any little account the Lord may have against us when we die." NOTHING BUT KATER. From Abe Lincoln's Spring Will Be Used to Christen the Kentucky. Louisville, Jan. 29. A Times' special from Frankfort, Ky., says: When next month the battleship Ken tucky glides from the ways at Newport News, her prow will not be bathed in champagne, nor in good old whisky.The fair sponser, Miss Christine Bradley, will uncork a beautifully embellished silver vessel full of pure water. On a farm in Larue county, where Abraham Lincoln was born, there is an unfailing spring of cold, crystal water where, in his boyhood, the great eman cipator was wont to slack his thirst, using goard or oak leaf dipper. The idea is to have a committee for mally visit the spring, fill a vessel with sparkling water and seal it with ap propriate guard. Then the vessel will be given to Miss Bradley until the time for breaking the seal on board the Kentucky. PAY ALL OR QUIT. That is the Policy Adopted Toward Fire Insurance Companies by Webb McNalL Insurance Commissioner Webb Mc Nall intends that in the future the valued policy law shall be enforced in the operation of fire insurance compa nies in Kansas, and has already taken the first step in that direction. The law requires that when property is to tally destroyed by fire the companies shall pay the owner the face value of the policy, but it has been the practice of the companies to secure a settlement if possible at a reduced amount. Com missioner McNall means to put an end to this practice. Today the Western Assurance com pany sent in a report of a fire loss, in which a building insured for $400 was totally destroyed by fire, and where a settlement was made for $372. Commis sioner McNall wrote the company stat ing that unless the remaining $28 was paid its license to do business in Kan sas would be revoked. Oscar Hammerstein Failure. New York, Jan. 29.

Clemens Replies to a Criticism of Sunday Meetings. Mr. G. C. Clemens, supreme court re porter, today received an anonymous letter objecting to the Topeka branch of the Social Democracy holding ics meetings on Sunday. This stirred Mr. Clemens to the following characteristic communication "Some good brother, who has neg lected to furnish me with his name and address and has thus deprived me of the pleasure of praying for him In an intel ligent manner, objects to the Social De mocracy holding its meetings Sundays. I had supposed we had got beyond that kind of ignorant prejudice; for ignorant it certainly is. People who make such an objection are ignorant of both Sun day and socialism. Have we not the best of authority that 'it is lawful to do good, even on the Sabbath day?' So, even were Sunday a scriptural day the Christian Sabbath we would not 1a wicked in preaching socialism on Sun day; for socialism is good. I think it will be difficult for my unknown heath en brother to find an intelligent Topeka preacher who will agree with him. I am on quite friendly terms with several clergymen who, while they unreason ably doubt my piety, find no. fault with my socialism. Why, in his book 'So cialism from Genesis to Revelations," the Rev. F. M. Sprague declares that "the recent powerful impulse given to socialism, both in Europe and Ameri ca, is due to the recognition of its iden tity with the Christian religion.' Emile de Laveleye gives it out hard and flat that 'every Christian, is at heart a socialist.' Let these objectors read the Rev. Josiah Strong's book 'The New Era,' a book put forth by the Evangel ical Alliance, and see what they are condemning when they object to preaching socialism on Sunday. "The Social Democracy carries at the head of its official organ and prints as a motto upon its constitutions 'On earth peace; good will toward men;' and it is not used in a Pickwickian sense, either. On a showdown, it might appear that the Socialists are the only real Christians, and the only people wno nave any right to meet on Sunday. These misguided folk had better keep still or we may enjoin the churches from infringing on our exclusive rights. "So many working people live in the suburbs and have to work so late and get up so early, that Sunday is the only time they can attend meetings; and we wish to preach to the same people Christ preached to. We have to meet Sundays." santaTfe local XOTES. William Butler, night depot master at the Santa Fe, has been called to Joliet, 111., where his brother was injured and is in a dangerous condition.

From Ottego Republican, Cooperstown, N. T. Mr. Edwin R. Tripp, the postmaster at Middlefield Center, N. Y., recently had a dangerous experience which left him in a helpless state. His system was so much shattered that it was feured he might never recover. In an interview with a reporter of the Republican, regarding this experience which had attracted considerable attention, Mr. Tripp stated In March, 1892, I was taken with what I afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and was unable to walk, and I kept getting worse until I lost the use of my arms. I doctored with two skillful doctors but re ceived no benefit, and also used a galvanic battery but kept gettirR worse and the doc tors told me they could do no more. This was in May and June, 1S92. I save op all hope of ever having the nse of my limb9 again, and did not expect to live very lonr. I was unable to dress or undress myself, and could not get around the house unless 1 was moved in a chair. "I think it was in June that I read of the ease of a man in Saratoga Co., N. Y., who was taken very much as mvself. He had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People which contained, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat tered nerves, and had been cured by their use.

Everybody Came in for Mention at the Bar Association Banquet. The banquet of the bar association of Kansas was held Friday night at the Copeland. After the tables had been cleared the following toasts were re sponded to: "Tomorrow," Prof. Frank Nelson; "Statutory Morality," T. L. Bond; "Minding Tour Own Business," X.. C. Boyle; "The Lawyer in Politics," John D. Milliken; "A Few Remarks," Silas Porter. John D. Hessin was to follow with "Some More Remarks, but he "remained reticent." It was decided that Solomon's record would not be accepted by the Social Purity league, and that if Edison com pleted his mental kodak, which would photograph thought, that the public in general would be greatly shocked at some of the developments. It was determined that drunkenness was only a matter of residence and that a drunkard who lived in the western part of the state would be a sober man if t lived in Leavenworth. Prof. Frank Nelson stole Attorney General Boyle's thunder and instead of "M'jiding His Own Business," he took the trouble to respond to the toast, "Tomorrow." When it came Mr. Boyle's turn, he chose for his subject the toast that Mr. Nelson had evaded and advised Mr. Nelson to mind his ow n business. Mr. K. E. Willcockson was original ly on the programme to respond to "To morrow," but as he was in Kansas City he was allowed, through courtesy of Mr. Boyle, to wait until the day af ter. Mr. Silas Porter appealed to the mil itary valor of those present w-ith pa triotic recitations from Mother Goose. He was certain that the greatest mili tary men of the civil war were lawyers. One of the greatest military maneuvers that was ever accomplished was by the king of Spain who marched 40.000 men up a hill and then marched them down again. Mr. Porter stood for Cuba and allowed anyone to connect his remarks if they could. SO STYLE ABOUT DOLE. The Hawaiian President B-opresses the Tendency to Make Much of Sim. Washington, Jan. 29. There has been talk among members in both houses of a resolution of welcome to Fresident Dele and an invitation to visit them in session as was done when King Kala kua was here. This was generally as sented to in convention by members on both sides as an act of personal courtesy to the president of a republic. But Minister Hatch, hearing- of it qui etly signified to them that President Dole, while highly appreciating every suggestion of courtesy would prefer that it be omitted. When Dom Pedro, the emperor of Brazil was here he made similar sug gestion when a similar courtesy was proposed. President Dole ever since his arrival in this country has shrunk from all displays. From Chicago he telegraphed the state department re questing that the proposed military es cort which was to meet him at Washing ton be dispensed with and in San Fran cisco when Gen. Shafter, commander of the military division proposed to give him a military escort from the hotel to the station on his departure for the east he urgently asked that all such form and ceremony be abandoned. Fresident Dole in the afternoon visited Ft. liver, where he witnessed the fa mous Cossack drill of the Sixth cavalry, and afterward took luncheon with Col onel Sumner. Last evening he remained at his hotel. DATE IS FIXED. Stock Growers "Will Meet January 23 Next at Denver. Denver, Jan. 29. The executive com mittee of the National Live Stock as sociation of the United States which was organized at the recent convention, has adopted by-law's for the govern ment of the association and fixed Jan uary 23, 1899, as the date of the next convention which is to be held in Den ver. Cross jewelry store has moved from 429 to 515 Kansas avenue, Topeka. a T7 or six boxes for $2.50 at any dApfriet'g, nd sent for two boxes. I used tbe puis faith fully and they gave me an appetite. I then sent for four more boxes, and before I had taken all of them my feet and legs which had been cold began to get warm. I was a member ot the Town Board that summer and had to be carried and put into a wagon to go to the meetings, and in fact was helpless, as my neighbors know. In August I could walk around the house by pushing a chair. I kept getting better and managed to move around more, until at election time that year, I walked with a cane to the polls, a short distance from my home. I continued to take Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale People until I had taken eighteen boxes. I could then get around, and to-day walk to the post ofiice and back, a distance of one quarter of a mile, three times a day, and attend to my duties as postmaster. In the spring of 1893 I was elected town clerk, which ofiice I held for three years, I had previously been a justice of the peace for thirty-two years. I am now 70 years of age, and have lived in this town for ahout forty-six years. For nearly fifty years I worked at the blacksmith's trade. I am able to do work in my garden now, and saw some of my wood. I consider that my res toration to health is due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Edwin R.
