The insur gent trenches in the edge of the woods are four feet deep and furnish a good head cover. The American troops ad vanced on the double quick, yelling fiercely and occasionally dropping in the glass and firing by volley. The natives stood until the Ameri cans were within 200 yards of their po sition and then broke and ran for the woods. About 30 of them were killed in the outskirts and 70 on the roads. The Montana and Kansas troops met the hottest resistance in a strip from which the insurgents have greatly wor ried the Americans recently during the night time. Ninety minutes after the start at 6 o'clock the whole front for a distance of three miles to the north had been cleared. Gen.

Wheaton's brigade was placed in the rear and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis' and (n. Hall's were massed behind Gen. Hale's. Fnder the cover of the darkness Gen. Otis' and Gen. Hale's brigades left their trenches and ad vanced close up on the enemy's line without being detected. Gen. Wheaton's and Gen. Hall's brigade occupying the vacated positions. At 4 o'clock the American troops breakfasted and the Filipinos noticing the camp tires, their buglers called to arms. At daylight Gen. Otis' and Gen. Hall's brigade advanced from La Loma church straight through the insurgent lines, cutting the enemy's force in two. I'pon this occasion the insurgents adopted the American tactics of holding their fire until the attackers were about 1.000 yards distant. They also fired lower than usual. The Americans fired volleys with terrific effect and then rushed forward cheering and carrying verything before them. Clice through Gen. McArthur's divis ion was swung to the left driving the enemy away on all sides. Gen. Wheaton's brigade, in accordan'e with instructions remained in the trenches. Before joining in the move ment at noon. Gen. Wheaton's troops developed a strong opposition between Malabon and the river Tuliahan. The brigades commanded by Gen. Harrison Gray Otis and Gen. Hale ad vanced on Novaliches and Polo, strongly entrenched towns. In the meantime Gen. Hall's brigade swept the country clear to the water works and the foothills and Singalon. capturing San Francisco del Monte and Mariquina. Late in the afternoon the Montana regiment afid the third artillery had crossed Tal ghan river, going in a north westerly direction towards Polo, and Gen. McCarthy, with the remainder of Gen. Otis' and Gen. Hale's brigades was moving along south of the river, in a position to attack either Novalisches or Polo, being within two miles of Noval isches and five miles from Polo. Gen. Hall's brigade moved to Banlac, protecting Gen. Hale's right, meeting with strong opposition. The Oregon regiment and part of the T'tah battery under Lieut. Gibbs had the extreme left. The entrenchments nearest to Mala bon suffered the most severe attacks, including a cross fire from the insur gents massed at Malabon. The Montana regiment near Balin tanao canae upon a blockhouse dis guised as a leper hospital across the river, after marching through the jun gle. Four men were killed and seven teen wounded among Gen. McArthur's artillery. Hampered by the thickness of tire jungle, Gen. McArthur's and Gen. Hale's staffs were frequently under a galling fire and upon one occasion all of the officers, excepting the general, dismounted, be ng overcome by the heat. There were many prostrations during the day. FIGHTING TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. Washington, March 23. It was stated at the war department that the ex pression of Gen. Otis, "Am endeavoring to take fraction in reverse," means that while ostensibly making a feint at the front, he intends to swing to the rear and attack the enemy on the left. The dispatches of Gen. Otis are forwarded to President McKlnley as soon as re ceived at the war department. In computing the time at Manila when the fighting began, it is said that the battle has been in progress more than twenty-four hours. War department officials do not at tempt to conceal their belief that the fighting has been very severe and that American losses are no doubt iuite heavy. AMERICAN LOSSES. Manila, March 25. 5:55 p. m. The American loss is now conservatively estimated at 16 killed and 130 wounded. CAPTAIN STUART KILLED. Pueblo, Colo., March 25.

One of the Hillmon Insurance Com panies Again Admitted to the State. The Mutual Life Insurance company of New York was admitted today to do business in the state of Kansas by Superintendent of In surance Church and a certificate of authority has been granted to the company. This is one of the three companies which was barred out of the state by Webb McNall on account of thir refusal to pay the Hillmon claim. The admission of the company is in pursuance of the polic-y announced by Mr. Church that he would not allow any of the acts of Mr. McNall to in fluence him in the conduct of his office. Upon the representation of the Mutual Life showing that the company was sound and upon the payment of its taxes it was promptly admitted. It paid in $.1,200 as 2 per cent on its renewals for 1S98 and $100 in fees. Its agents' licenses will come in extra. The question was raised that as long as the company was barred from doing business in the state last year it ought not to be required to pay taxes for that time, but Mr. Church held otherwise, and the tax was promptly paid by the company. The other companies which were barred out of the state by Mr. McNall for not settling the Hillmon claims were the New York Life and the Connecticut Mutual. The New York Life was ad mitted last year after settling its por tion of the Hillmon claim, but the Con necticut is still out. It will be admitted as soon as it makes the proper showing. FAVORS THE SANTA FE. California Governor Signs the Con solidation BilL Sacramento. Cala., March 25. The governor has signed the so-called Santa Fe consolidation bill. This is the meas ure introduced at the instance of the Santa Fe people for the purpose of per mitting, as its advocates claimed, that corporation to operate its system as a whole instead of being compelled to do so through the medium of three or four different corporations. It was asserted that unless the existing laws were amended it would be Impossible to pur chase the line from Mojave to the Colo rado river necessary to complete the system. The bill was opposed on the ground that it would permit the consolidation of the Central and Southern Pacific rail roads. ANOTHER RUNAWAY.

Chief Strauss thinks that he will be able to find the girl if she has been brought to Topeka for immoral purposes. ROUGHRIOER Col. Theodore Roosevelt Goes on the Stand To Tell What He Knows of the Army Reef. COVERED WITH SLIME And Didn't Agree With Men Who Ate It. the His Official Reports Abont It Were Suppressed. New York, March 25. The army court of inquiry investigating the charges made by Gen. Miles that the beef furn ished the soldiers in the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns was unfit for use, convened in this city today. Be fore the hearing began Major Lee said he believed Gov. Roosevelt will be the only witness heard here. The court is expected to adjourn to Governor's Is land to hear the testimony of officers of the Thirteenth infantry stationed there. 'Any other witness will probably be called to Washington where the court sits again on Monday. T'pon his arrival. Gov. Roosevelt shook hands with several members of the court and then took the stand after Col. Davis had administered the oath. The governor described the organization of the Rough Riders at San Antonio. Tex., and told of the issuance of rations. "When was the first complaint you heard of the rations?" asked Colonel Davis. "May I answer that in my own way?" asked the governor. "Certainly." "Well, it was aboard ship at Tampa. I saw a man I think his name was Ash, I know he came from Kentucky throwing away a can of the so-called roast beef. I asked what was the mat ter and he said he could not eat it. I told him not to be a baby and that he did not volunteer for a good time and ought to be able to take what came. I thought no more of the matter until I iieard that complaints were being made on all sides. Then I made inquiries and was told that the roast beef was part of the regular ration and that only the volunteers were complaining'. "I spoke to Col. Wood about it, and he said it was the regular ration. I ate a mouthful or two myself, but I could not eat it." Gov. Roosevelt spoke of the issue cf rations in Cuba and said that although he did not like the beef and his men would not eat it, he never heard any one say it was an "unfit ration." "What did the meat look like?" asked Col. Davis. "When the can were opened, there was a covering of slime. It was unattractive The meat was stringy and it did not agree with the men who ate it." COI'LD HAVE EATEN HIS HAT. "Could you not eat it when served with jnions and potatoes?" "I think at that time I could have eaten my hat if I could have had onions and potatoes. The men would have eaten anything with fresh vegetables. They stewed the meat with mangoes and ate it. Some of the men seemed to eat the meat without difficulty or dis tress, but it was not suitable for sick, or half sick men." Governor Roosevelt told at length of his attempts to get supplies in Cuba He repeated the statements he made to the army investigating commission, as to his attempts to organize a transpor tation train to bring supplies to his men from Siboney. "When did you begin receiving refrig erated beef?" asked Col. Davis. "About July 22." "Were the supplies regular?" "Sometimes. We received them about noon." "What was their condition when you received them?" "Their condition as a rule was good. The outside was sometimes bad, but it seemed awfully good to us." "What was the proportion that was bad?" "I can't exactly say, but I doubt if there were more than two or three is sues when the proportion was bad. "Had you reason to believe the re frigerated beef was treated with chemi cals before you received it?" MADE MEN SICK. "I never thought about it until I re turned home. The meat seemed good to us. We ate It and enjoyed it. It did undoubtedly give the men diarrhoea." "Did you hear any complaint?" "Well. I heard that some of the offi cers and men thought there was some thing wrong with the meat, but I have known meat if kept for a few days on a hunting trip to have a like effect None of us were in very good health and it took less to upset us than it would have had at another time. "Did you attribute their ill health to the rations? asked Col. Davis. "To a certain extent, I suppose yes. When we left Cuba less than 20 per cent of the men I had was fit for active service." Major Lee was about to put a ques tion when the governor interrupted to say he wished to speak of the talk of the embalmed beef. "When we left Tampa," he said, "two or three quarters of beef were put aboard our ship. I was told to put It in the shade. I understood it was special ly treated for the tropics. It did not last and a board of investigation de cided to throw it overboard." "Can you remember the brands or the labels on the canned roast beef com plained of, either that issued in Cuba or at Montauk? asked Maj. Lee. "I do not think I can. Some were Swift's and some were Armour's, I be lieve." REPORTS SUPPRESSED. Governor Roosevelt said he had sub mitted reports regarding the rations through the regular army channels in July and again on September 10. These reports were omitted from the published records of the war department, but were to be printed, so he said in the next report. Maj. Lee appealed to the court to or der' a copy of Governor Roosevelt's re port to be made a part of the minutes of the proceedings. Gen. Wade ruled in compliance with the motion and Governor Roosevelt said there were supplementary reports to the report of September 10 which he considered very important. "They in clude," he said, "the statements of two captains, four lieutenants, a surgeon and Capt. Brown or the regulars." "Will you tell us," asked Maj. Lee. "what in your opinion is the value of the canned, roast beef issued at Cuba and elsewhere as an army ration?" "I wish to say unhesitatingly that It was utterly unfit and unwholesome for troops. My experience proves beyond a shadow of ddubt or question that at its best the canned roast beef was un palatable, and at its worst it was un eatable and unwholesome." No one had any further questions to ask the governor and the hearing was closed. The court adjourned to Gov ernor's island. ALL TO. WEAR UNIFORMS. Iowa Board of Control Completes Plans For State Institution Employes. Des Moines, March 25. The board of control and superintendents of state in stitutions today concluded arrange ments for uniforming all officers and employes In all the institutions, to take effect July 1. The uniforms will be mainly blue flannel for women and heavier cloth for men, with insignia of rank and service, except the domestics and laborers, whose uniforms are cheaper and of dif ferent material. The board will pur chase the material, which will be manu factured in the institutions and the act ual cost thereof charged to each person receiving a uniform. AH employes and officers must wear uniforms when on duty. The new rule prohibiting the employ ment by superintendents of members of their families or relatives in the insti tutions will go into effect July 1. It will make changes in the school for the deaf. Council Bluffs; the industrial school for boys. Eldora; industrial school for girls. Mitchellville; penitentiary. Fort Madi son, and the institution for feeble minded children, Glenwood. In nearly all these institutions the wife of the superintendent is now acting as matron, and in some of them one or two other members of his family or relatives are on the pay rolls. The board has made this rule so that then superintendents may be able to hold their assistants closer to the rules than where they are so closely related to him. WIFE AGAINST HUSBAND. Both Are Attorneys and Appear on Opposite Sides of a Case. The spectacle of two members of the same law firm appearing on different sides of the same case in court is not unknown but it is not remembered that there has ever been a case where a man and wife, both practicing attorneys, ap peared as antagonists, until Friday af ternoon. At that time Mrs. Hib Case represented the defendant in a divorce case and Mr. Case appeared for the plaintiff. Only the preliminary motions in the case were disposed of. The question of a divorce was not argued. Richard Brown sued Ellen Brown for a divorce and Mrs. Brown filed a motion to be al lowed attorney fees and alimony. Mr. Brown asked for a division of the pro perty and that his peace of mind be pro tected. Mr. Case asked the court to allow his client to live in one of the two houses at Fourteenth and Chandler streets which belong to the Browns. He also asked for a division of the house hold goods.- Mrs. Case resisted the ap plication but Judge Hazen allowed Mr. Brown to take two chairs and one stove and occupy one of the houses while the action is pending. Mrs. Case tried to look pleasant and she bowed sweetly in the direction of the judge. Mr. Case chuckled as he left the court room With his wife and said something about "wearing the trous ers." When the case comes up for final bearing the attorneys expect to see an interesting time. HORSE THIEVES AT LARGE. Several Horses Are Reported to Have Been Stolen Last Night.

Finished Strong and Lengths Ahead. Four Two of the Oxfords Fainted as They Crossed the Line. Putney, England, March 25 The fifty sixth annual boat race between crews representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge was rowed today over the usual course, from Putney to Mort lake, a distance of about four and a quarter miles, and was won by Cam bridge, for the first time in ten years. Cambridge now has twenty-four out of fifty-six races rowed to her credit. The light blues were the favorites in the betting, the odds being 11 to 4 on Cambridge, though this was regarded as extravagant. The crews were sent off at 12:58 p. m. Cambridge winning the toss, took the sunny side of the river, which with the fresh wind blowing, gave the light blues a decided advantage. Cambridge at once assumed a slight lead, which it increased at IVi lengths at the Craven steps, about five furlongs from the start. Just beyond that point, however, Ox ford began drawing up and at the Crab Tree wharf, one mile, one furlong, and one hundred yards from the starting point, was level with Cambridge. The Crab Tree wharf was passed at 1:03. At Hammersmith bridge, one mile, five furlongs and one hundred yards from the starting line, Cambridge had again assumed the lead by one half length, which was increased to two and a half lengths at Thornycroft, some three miles from the start. Thence Cambridge continued her pos ition, rowing a fine steady stroke, while Oxford splashed badly and was evi dently distressed. When the light blues reached Barnes Bridge, three miles, four furlongs and thirty yards from the start, they were four lengths ahead and the race was practically over, for the Oxfords were going to pieces and rowing anyhow. The Cambridge crew finished strong, four lengths ahead of Oxford. Two of the Oxford crew fainted as their boat crossed the line. The official time was 21 minutes, 4 seconds. WTANTS AN AMERICAN WIFE Alfred von Breuning, German Diplo mat, to Wed Mrs. McKay. Washington, March 25. Alfred von Breuning, first secretary of the German embassy in Constantinople, and form erly secretary here. arrived in New York this morning on the Kaiser Wilhelm. Air. von Breuning's engagement to Mrs. Gordon McKay of this city has been known In select circles for the past year. The alliance does not meet the ap proDation of the German ambassador. Dr. von Hollenben, and it was for this reason, it is asserted, that the young secretary asked for a change of post. It has been said that he has so far failed to obtain the consent of the Ger man emperor to his marriage, but this is not believed by the members of the embassy. Mrs. Gordon McKay is the divorced wife of a Boston millionaire. She is an exceedingly handsome woman of about 30 years. She has two children. By the terms of her divorce Mr. McKay has settled on her an annual allowance of $25,000. She does not forfeit this income by a remarriage. Mr. von Breuning is about 30 years of age also. Unlike most foreigners who marry Americans, he has quite a com fortable fortune in his own right. The marriage will be private. NO BEGGARS NEED APPLY. If They Have a Wagon and Food That Is Enough. "Is this the police station?" said a woman to Jailer .Hopkins last night as he stood behind the desk and adjusted his glasses to get a better look at the woman. "Well, my name is Hubbs, Aurila Hubbs. from near Chetopa. Down in southern Kansas, you know, near the Territory line. We are traveling and on our way to Jefferson county. Trav eling I say. We have a wagon and team of horses but we are broke. We've been begging round town, just anything we could get you know. Will take any thing, food, money, clothes or anything else we can get." "But what interposed Hopkins. "Just wait till I get through with my story, I say. We are traveling and we are broke, broke I say. Some people have given us things but they told us to come here. Now we would like you to help us get out of town. We know you will be glad to." And the woman kept on. Hopkins got tired standing up and listening and sat down. When she had finished he said: "What has been given you tonight?" "Why meat and money and other kinds of food." "Do you know that if you beg in this town you are liable to be arrested for vagrancy?" "La. no, Is that so?" "True as gospel. If you keep on you will be arrested." "Is it that way in all Kansas towns?" "No, I guess not, but it is in Topeka." "Well, I guess I will go where it is not against the law. 'Evening to you all." said the woman as she bowed herself out. New President For Baker. La Porte, Ind., March 25.

Ice land will receive each day until his new hotel is completed a sum said to be $150 on "use and occupancy policies," which he fortunately held. This will be entire ly apart from the Insurance he will receive on furniture, personal property and improvements. The "use and occu pancy" policies provide for payments to the insured for each day his business is not in operation. William M. Randell, secretary of the fire patrol committee, New York board of fire underwriters, says as all the rooms were' entirely destroyed in the Hotel Windsor fire and it will be a long time before the hotel can be replaced, the amount Mr. Leland will receive from these policies will probably be very large. Mr. Leland had no trouble in obtain ing insurance on his property; neither did the owner of the building, notwith standing many reports to the contrary. All the building laws that existed at the time the hotel was erected were complied with. TEDDY TO THE "CIT'S." Governor Roosevelt Entertained by Citizens' Union. New York, March 25. Governor Roosevelt was the guest of honor last night at a dinner given by the Citizens' union of the Twenty-seventh and Twenty-ninth assembly districts, in the Tuxedo. About a hundred members and guests were present. Fritz Von Briesen presided. Governor Roosevelt in his address said he was very glad to meet the men who had fought with him for a common end, men with whose purposes he has always been in perfect sympathy and with whose methods he had sometimes been in sympathy. "I- feel that I have a certain right to come here," said the governor, "for ever since I have been in office I have been trying to apply the doctrine in which you believe, the principle for which you and I have worked. I have always striven to tell you just what I meant and have told you what I thought I could do. "I never said one thing and did an other. I am working with other men. My judgment muft give way on many points to theirs, as their must at times give way to mine. I can not go as far and as fast as I like. If I go in a gen eral forward direction that is as much as I can expect." The governor explained that it was sometimes necessary in reaching for a certain goal to go a little out of the way to get there. "But," he said, "I shall never go back, nor will I consent to stand still. It will be going ahead, however slowly. "One thing is certain. No man who has anything to do with me under the government if dishonest or incompetent, if I discover it, no matter what his po litical backing may be, can keep his head. When it comes to getting a suc cessor here the governor hesitated and' everybody laughed s-"well, I won't appoint anybody who is not honest and competent if I know it or as soon as I find out that he is not, I'll take his head off. But," and again the gover nor hesitated, "I've got to get the men confirmed if I can. I'm always going forward, but I've got to take other people's opinions some times. It is the same with the legislature. There is a difficulty in getting immediate legisla tion through. I assure you there will be none in stopping bad legislation there I have considerable to say. "There are two dangers to a man go ing intprpolitics," he continued. "In strivirfg to reach the goal he is liable to fall on the one side into the pit of foul politics, or on the other side, into the pit of impractical politics. Although there is some difference to the pits you wajit to remeber if you fall into either you won't reach the goal. I am trying to reach the goal." REPORTS ON WHEAT CROP. Kansas City Commission House Hears From Kansas. Kansas City, March 25. The Christie Street Commission company has receiv ed the following telegrams, which are self-explanatory: Leavenworth, Kan. Wheat in this vi cinity looking poorly, but not enough warm weather yet to develop extent of damage, if any. Superior. Neb. From reports of far mers and grain men around this vicin ity wheat is badly damaged. About quarter crop is best we look for now. Clay Center. Kan. Wheat situation here critical. Reliable farmers report .00 to 50 per cent damage and many fields being plowed up and sown in oats. Caney, Kan. Conservative parties es timate that fully one-third of the wheat in Montgomery county and Indian Ter ritory is dead. Oats coming nicely. A Wichita, Kan., correspondent says: "I was over a scope of country 60 miles in extent and found the fields spotted and very backward. Arkansas City, Kan. Wheat condi tions in Cowley county look as though the plant was none the worst for the cold weather of February. Farmers say we will have as large a crop as last year in these parts. For awhile it look ed as though it was damaged, but as the warm weather is bringing it out green and fresh looking the prospect for a large crop is good unless bad weather in the future damages it. Coffeyville. Kan. Our reports on crop conditions range from 25 to 50 per cent damage. Wellington. Kan. Wheat from 35 to 50 per cent. damaged Paola. Kan. Wheat in bottom lands looks well. Damaged to some extent on prairies. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. George W. Berry, aged 82, died yester day at Berryton.

President Young is waiting only for the National League disposition of the St. Louis club before announcing his umpire ap pointments. While not given out official ly, it is asserted on good authority that there will be only one new man on the staff when the season opens, and he will be Tom Burns, the old Brooklyn player, who last year ran the Newark, N. J., club. Burns has the indorsement of nearly every club owner in the league. Barring the probability of a circuit re duction, the other eleven officials will be Lynch, Emslie. Connolly, Swart wood. Warner, Andrews, Snyder.O'Day, McDonald, Smith and Gaffney. Smith and Warner.although umpiring only during the closing months of last season, showed themselves-to be ac curate officials. The former is the son of ex-Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, while the latter is a St. Louis boy and a graduate of the Interstate League. Emslie, Lynch, O'Day. Swartwood and Gaffney have practically been decided on as umpires, their assistants to be named later. Among the prominent old players in dorsed for umpire berths are Latham, "Bug" Holliday, Ganzel, Pfeffer and Jerry Denny. Another well-backed can didate is Fred Doe. the noted eastern polo player. The 12 men mentioned, however, possess league experience and have the preference. John Hunt, who was a member of the staff last year, will probably be called upon to do emer gency duty.

The following is taken from a letter re ceived by Mrs. Louise Hull from Mrs. Mary E. Lease and written in New York March 11: "I returned to this city last week to fill engagements of a year's standing here and in Boston. In May I begin my season's work, which promises to keep me very busy. I am well and prospering and love the east and eastern people very much. Enclosed find a card for my meeting next Friday. 1 have been speaking in Phila delphia and am now writing for Phila delphia, magazines. I will be in New York and Boston till May." Airs. Lease also says: "Governor and Mrs. Stanley are lovely people, and Kan sas will be proud of Governor Stanley and his administration." The enclosed card announces that "Mrs. Mary Elizabeth lease, of Kansas, will lecture before the Quid Nunc club on 'Certain un-American Tendencies.' Friday, March 17, at lisl Lenox avenue." A woman's hair is her glory. Like Ser complex ion, much of its beauty de pends upon her general health, Nine times in ten a woman's general health is dependent upon her local health in a womanly way. It is an im possibility for a woman to be pretty or at tractive who suffers from general ill health. The skin, the teeth, the eyes, the hair and the carriage will tell the story when a woman is ailing. It is impossible for a woman to be in good gen eral health when some local trouble is con tinually nagging at her nerves and disar ranging the natural functions of every organ of the body. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription is the best of all medicines for women who suffer from local weakness and disease peculiar to their sex. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned. It mates them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It allays in flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, tones and builds np the nerves and ban ishes the usual discomforts of the expec tant months. It makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. It enables every organ of the body to perform its natural functions without unnatural interference from a pain-tortured nervous system. It corrects all irregularities. A woman who is made well in this way will recover her natural beauty of form and feature and her natural amiability of character and temper. Thousands of women have testified to its merits.

Kid Mc Coy defeated Joe Choynski here last night in the presence of 6,000 spectators. Choynski stayed the full 20 rounds. McCoy showed himself far the more clever of the two .men. In the fifth round, Choynski was; in sore distress and It appeared as though another" round of the same kind of fight ing would finish the contest, but contra ry to expectations, McCoy did not force matters and allowed Choynski to recover- his strength in- the following rounds. There was no dissatisfaction over the decision of Referee Kennedy, as it was clear to all that McCoy had made his superior cleverness manifest at all stages. Seats were built on a substantial foundation, under the direct supervision of the fire department, the rear rows being only two feet above the floor. The ring, placed in the center of the arena, was six feet above the main floor, af fording a good view from all points of the big building. The betting public was in suspense regarding a referee un til a very late hour. John L. Sullivan, who had been decided upon by both men as a satisfactory man to referee the fight proved too elusive, despite many telegrams sent to various points in an attempt to locate the ex-champion and bring him back to San Francisco. Sullivan was supposed to be in the southern part of the state and hope of his arrival was 'not abandoned until late in the afternoon when the club took matters in hand and sought another man to act in the capacity as judge of the contest. Choynski suggested several local fistic experts, all of whom were unsatisfactory to McCoy who insisted upon an eastern man being chosen. Jim Kennedy, of Brooklyn, manager of, Frank Erne, and an associate of W. A. Brady in some of the latter's enter prises, was finally chosen. McCoy was satisfied with Kennedy and Choynski agreed to the choice rather than cause any trouble or delay when the hour of entering the ring should arrive. The seconds acting for each man were as follows: McCoy, Homer Selby, Jack Stetsener and Frank Purcell. Choynski, Eddie Greaney, Tom Murphy and Chas. Tilson. At 9:52 p. m.. Choynski made his ap pearance, followed into the ring by his seconds. He was given a hearty greet ing by the big crowd. He wore trousers and a red sweater and took the south east corner of the ring. McCoy climbed through the ropes, shook hands with Choynski and spoke a few words of greeting. He wore trousers and a black sweater andl took the opposite corner. Choynski carried a box of rosin across to McCoy and sprinkled some on the floor for his adversary. McCoy was introduced by Billy Jor dan as the coming champion of the world, which assertion was greeted with wild applause. Jim Kennedy was then introduced as the referee. Both men were bandaged about their hands. When McCoy stripped, he wore short white trunks, loose like those of a sprinter. He appeared pretty finely drawn. Choynski stripped to a very short loin cloth. He showed up well, his massive shoulders overshadowing those of Mc Coy. At 10 p. m., the referee called the men to the center and gave instructions. They agreed to break away clean. In the first and second rounds the men fought cautiously, and the leads were slow. The third and four rounds were slightly in favor of Choynski. In the fifth Joe tried to force matters, but was stopped hard. He resorted to blocking leads, and the round was clearly Mc Coy's. The sixth round found Joe still lively, and in the seventh and eighth, he continued to force the fighting. At the end of the eighth both men were strong. Round 9 was Choynski's. Mc Coy was nearly knocked down, and the excitement was great, in tne tentn, honors were even, and hard punches were exchanged. McCoy did good footwork in the eleventh, and Choynski was puzzled. McCoy tried to force matters, but found stiff opposition in the twelfth and thir teenth. In the fourteenth, McCoy had the best of it, and started Choynski's nose to bleeding. The Kid's left jabs had also puffed up Joe's lips. In the fifteenth there was a clinch, in which McCoy held Choynski's hands for a moment, and was hooted. The closing rounds were as follows: Round 17 McCoy swung left for jaw, which Joe ducked and a moment later tried to duck another left but got it in the neck. Joe was knocked down with a left swing on the jaw. but got up and came back with a left on the Kid's head, taking two left jabs. Choynski fiddled for an opening for his right, but could not find one, taking left in face twice just at the close of the round. Mc Coy appeared the fresher of the two. at the end of the round and had a decided advantage on points at this stage. Round 18 Joe swung wildly with left but missed and took a left hook in the face. McCoy missed a left swing for the head and got a short left on the neck, blocking Joe's swings, and then landed a couple of stiff left facers. The Kid swung left for the jaw, going around Joe's head and the round closed with the men sparring. Round 19. After a long spell of fid dling Joe led left for body, missed and ducked a return from the Kid's right. Joe sent left to body and got left and right on head, but no damage was done. Choynski tried twice with his right for the head, but the Kid was elusive and got out of the way. McCoy made a quick rush and swung left for the head, which Joe cleverly ducked. Round 20 McCoy sent straight left to face and avoided left counter. Joe missed left for the jaw and the men sparred in a lively manner. McCoy rushed when Joe sent in a stiff left on face. McCoy rushed and landed left and right on jaw. Choynski landed left on head and clinched. McCoy rushed Joe to ropes, but a clinch followed without an effort to do any' damage. The round and fight ended in the cen ter of the ring where they shook hands. McCoy gets the decision. To Pave Her Streets. Cherryvale, March 25.

Lansing Board of Directors Delay Work on the Twine Plant. Leavenworth, Kan.,March 25. The board of directors of the Kansas penitentiary held a special meeting Thursday nisrht and another yesterday morning and adjourned without making any arrangements to start work on the new binding twine plant. The board examined statements and plans for the plant and decided to make a tour of inspection before letting contracts for ma chinery or beginning the work. They will meet again in regular session April 4 and then go to Minnesota and Chicago, where twine plants are located. It is ex- Sected that the third new member of the oard will be appointed before the April meeting. The two Republican members of the board appointed the Rev. R. A. Hoffman, a Methodist minister of Lincoln. Kan., prison chaplain, and Dr. C. E. Grigsby of Spivy, Kingman county, prison physician. The new oflicers will assume office April 1. There were a number of applicants for guards, but none of them was taken up. Sheep Sheared by Machines. Sycamore. 111., March 23. Sheep shear ing commenced today at long Bros. sheep heds. where a great many thousand sheep are being kept. The work is an experi ment, being done by machinery. An en gine works the shears and these aro guid ed by the shearer, but require no effort from him only to guide the blades. If it proves satisfactory, sheep from all over the country will be shipped here for shear ing. Where heretofore only 101) to 150 sheep were sheared a day, a fewer number of men can clip double the number of animals. IF YOU DON'T KNOW Why Dyspepsia Cures Have Failed to Relieve You THE FOLLOWING WILL EXPLAIN. In reply to the question, Why have all dyspepsia cures heretofore used failed to cure? a well known physician said: "For years we have known that there were at least two distinct kinds of dys pepsia and that each required separate remedies. yet we have always com bined these and prescribed them to be taken in one dose without a thought of one counteracting the effect of the other, which they are bound to do." This is one reason; another is this only recently has it been found that food is not digested in the stomach at all, but instead prepared by this or gan for digestion in the intestines; now, as all cures heretofore manufactured have been directed toward assisting the stomach, to d gest what we eat, it stands to reason that no benefit could possibly be derived from their use. These two mistakes, made by the manufacturers of dyspepsia cures, would seem to ex plain sufficiently the cause of failure to cure, but a stronger reason than these can be given. It is found in the treatment of that most dangerous and prevalent form of dyspepsia, intestinal indigestion; for this disease there has never been any remedy known to the profession, caused as it is by bacteria; no germicide strong enough to destroy them could be given without great dan ger to the patient. Consequently the physician has been compelled to let the patient suffer, and the result has been tliat 94 per cent of all the grown people in our country are now dyspeptics; moreover, nine out of every ten cases of appendicitis are now known to come from intestinal indigestion. Is it any wonder, then, that dyspepsia, in all its forms has become more prevalent every year? The new treatment Is unlike anything ever used before. "Hyomei," the new Australian dry air germicide, has proven to be the most valuable discov ery made in medicine for years. It has removed catarrh, bronchitis and con sumption from the list of dangerous diseases, and now comes to the profes sion again in a new form, which, taken internally, kills the bacteria causing dyspepsia as readily as it does the bacilli of catarrh and consumption, and this without the least danger to the patient. Manufactured as it is with different remedies for each phase of dyspepsia (something which has never been thought of before), I believe it will prove an infallible cure for this disease. At any rate, adopting their usual method, The R. T. Booth Co. guarantee this treatment to cure, or refund the money.

A movement for a wholly new and grandly adequate monument to Abraham Lincoln, the same to be erected in the heart of Springfield, was started in the house this morning. Representative Alschuler of Aurora, a Democrat, lighted the fuse with his mi nority report from the special committee appointed last week to Investigate the old Lincoln monument's condition. Fervent oratory on the subject was poured out by Mr. Alschuler. by Representative Stewart of Elgin and by Representative Allen. The old Lincoln monument, especially as regards its present condition, was char acterized as a disgrace to the state. Rep resentative Stewart raised his voice par ticularly against throwing away any more money on it. Mr. Alschuler's proposition is 1o make an appropriation of KWO.OOO for a Lincoln monument to be erected as near the cen ter of Springfield as possible. There is good reason for saying that the governor, while not committed to this new view, is inclined to favor it. HE WANTED NO CEREMONY. Con pemned Negro Told Officials to Full the Trap. St. Paul, March 24. A Bismarck, N. D., special to the dispatch says: James W. Cole, who on December 12, shot and killed his sweetheart Sophro nia Ford, through rage and jealousy this morning, expiated his crime on the scaffold. The execution was the second legal hanging in the state and one of the most successful ever witnessed. The condemned man, a full blooded negro, was cool and collected to the last, not weakening when placed on the scaffold and after he made his farewell speech to the spectators he called to the offi cials to pull the trap. The hanging was conducted by Sheriff Bogue. Cole did not want any religious coun sel and would not have the death war rant read. HE SHOT THE JUDGE. For Refusing: to Approve a Bill of Exceptions. St Louis, March 24. A special to the Post Dispatch from Dallas, Tex., says: At Sweetwater, F. P. Woodruff, a law yer, attacked and shot Judge John H. Cochran in chambers, with a revolver, the trouble growing out of the court's refusal to approve a bill of exceptions in a law suit. Judge Cochran attempted to defend himself and a bystander named -R. P. Watts was shot in the hip. Watts and Judge Cochran are In a crit ical condition. Woodruff is under $3,000 bond.

Jack Williams, who was on trial here for perjury, was con victed last night; the sentence, however, was withheld. Williams was acting as detective for the railroads and was previously tried for assault and battery upon the person of J. C. Stevens, but was found not guilty. Out of the last charge grew the suit for perjury. Wil liams was instrumental in bringing the safe blowers to a speedy trial and con viction. This suit has caused quite a sensation in Salina owing to the prom inence of parties interested. Oalena Mining DeaL Galena, March 25.

London, March 24. There was a poor attendance at the Inter-University fied sports held at the Queen's club today owing to the bitter cold weather. The track, however, was good but rather hard. A strong wind up the track was much against the runners in distance races. The following were the results: One hundred yard dash Thomas, Ox ford 10 2-5 seconds. Half mile run Graham, Cambridge, 1:59 3-5. A Sign of the Times. The advertising business is a good barometer of the condition of trade. Remington Brothers, one of the leading newspaper agencies of the country, find their business increasing so much that they have taken larger quarters and removed to the New York Life In surance Building, No. 346 Broadway. This is said to be the finest office build ing in the world, being 400 feet long and built of white marble. There is perhaps no other agency that has succeeded In getting so many of the best advertisers of the country for patrons as Reming ton Brothers. The secret of their suc cess is that they produce results. Ad vertising today Is a science and without the use of proper methods and papers large sums of money are wasted. Rem ington Brothers are using methods and newspapers that give advertisers re sults. Naturally, enterprising firms need the services of an agency that can plan advertising and make It success ful.

Two high waymen made an' unsuccessful attempt to hold up the Angeles camp stage 'near Altaville, Calaveras county. Messen gers Jackson and McConnell of Wells Fargo Co.'s Express company were in the coach, and when the order to halt was given they began shooting. A bul let from Jackson's rifle probably fatally wounded one of the bandits who has been identified as Bob Murphy, a. wood chopper. His companion will probably be captured. A NEW COLLINS CLEW. Attorney II ay den Believes He llas'the Murderer Spotted. Attorney Charles Hayden of Holton, who with Attorney General A. A. God ard defended John Henry Collins, says he believes he can lay his finger on the man who killed James S. Collins on the morning of May 13 last. Mr. Hayden made this declaration in a conversation yesterday afternoon. He followed it up with the statement that "John Collins is absolutely not guilty of the murder of his father." "I can't say now who I believe com mitted the murder," said Mr. Hayden. "because I have as yet no means of clinching the proof. I hope, however, to secure such proof but just how soon I will be able to do it is impossible to say. "The person who killed J. S. Collins was an outsider and entered the house that morning. The hardest thing to ex plain is just why Mr. Collins' gun. was used, but I believe this can be ac counted for. Mr. Collins may have left his gun in his room or in the hall, al though Mrs. Collins states positively that he didn't clean his gun before going to bed. He is known to have re marked on the street the evening be fore the murder that he was going home to clean up his gun, as he expected to go hunting at Lakeview the next day. "John Wilkerson's idea of the mur der," continued Mr. Hayden, "has al ways been that Mr. Collins committed suicide and that Mrs. Collins, in the ex citement following the shooting, carried the gun out into the hall. While I think it would be very easy for a per son in a state of great excitement to do such a thing without realizing it, I never have agreed with Mr. Wilkerson. I could never bring myself to believe that Mrs. Collins would risk the chance of John going to the penitentiary just for the sake of collecting the insurance. It Is preposterous to think she would, especially now that there is no longer any doubt of John's going to the peni tentiary. "Since the overruling of the motion for a new trial information has come to me which strengthened my belief that John Collins is innocent of the murder. This information has enlarged within the last few days, and I now believe I know the murderer. The question is now to secure proof. If we are successful, John Collins will spend but little time in the Kansas penitentiary." Mr. Hayden said that he was con fident the supreme court would reverse the case could it have been taken there. He said there was no provision in the law by which the record of a case could be made after the expiration of the term of court during which the motion was heard, and as it would take two or three months to make the record it was impossible to get the case in readiness for the higher court. Mr. Hayden and Mr. Godard both went to Kansas City yesterday after noon, but on different trains. While the object of the visits of the two at torneys was not altogether in refer ence to the Collins case they met there and discussed the new lead which Mr. Hayden believes will result in John Col lins leaving the penitentiary an innocent young man. BANK SUIT ENDS. Long Fight Between Wellington and Arkansas City Institutions Closes. Wellington, March 25. The long drawn out and often tried lawsuit of the American National bank of Arkan sas City against the Sumner National bank came to a final end in the United States court at Wichita yesterday when a verdict was rendered in favor of the receiver of the Sumner National- This suit grew out of a cattle deal. The Arkansas City bank held a mort gage on some cattle. While it was still in force, the Sumner National furnished money with which to feed them. Final ly the Sumner National sold the cattle at Arkansas City and kept out of the proceeds the amount of their feed. The Arkansas City bank sued the Sumner National for the money thus retained. SHOT BY A JUDGE. A Texas Attorney Killed on the Streets of Dallas. St. Louis. Mo.. March 25. A special to the Republic from Dallas, Tex., says: At Franklin, the county seat of Robert son county, last night. W. A. Gray, a prominent attorney and a former super intendent of public instruction, was shot dead on the pavement in front of his home by County Judge O. D. Can non. The cause of the killing is not known, but sensational domestic mat ters are broadly rumored. The public feeling over the killing be came so intense that officers to whom Judge Cannon had surrendered, hurried him away to Calvert to avert mob violence. Michael Angelo Blown Up. New York, March 25. A small manu factory of fireworks in Hoboken, N. J., was destroyed by an explosion today. One man, Nicola Anzalone. was killed, Michael Angelo, 14 years old, was fatal ly hurt and Jose Angelo, father of Michael, was painfully burned about the hands and face. The money loss was small. MONEY EVERYWHERE And Still There Is a Scarcity For Every Day Use. Washington, March 25. United States Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts said today that the impression that the lack of paper money is due to enforced with drawals of notes by the treasury is not true. "The total circulation per capita in the country, including coin and paper," said Mr. Roberts, "'has increased from $23.83 March 1, 1898, to $65.51 March 1. 1S99. This increase has been progressive for several years. The increase has, it is true, been largely in gold coin, from $445,293,591 March 1, 1896. to $702,305,269 at the first of the current month. -You will observe that the growth of gold coin has been $257,011,678, but in total, circulation for that period the growth has been $400,100,555. showing a net in increase of $143,088,877 outside of gold coin. There has been an Increase within these years in every item of circulation except gold certificates, treasury notes and currency certificates. The silver certificates in the hands of the people are more now than in 1896 by $63,854,852; United States notes more by $67,846,825. and the national bank notes more by $30,724,344. The gold bullion in the treasury ran up from $26,821,484 March 1, 1896. to $127,385,067 March 1. 1899. "There does not seem to me to be a deficiency in the circulating medium. The abundance of gold coin does not give relief, because of the prejudice of bankers and their customers against its use. "As a remedy the national banks might add to the volume of their notes. But they do not see the profit to attract them to such a policy. The only other pathway under existing laws to addi tional circulation is in the use of gold. Ciiin is with our habits less convenient tnan paper, but other countries use it. "The 'endless chain' is no longer in operation. No legal tender notes have been offered for gold in a long time. That kind of demand for redemption is for the present obsolete. Indeed, my impression is that the prospect of its revival is slight. The excess of our ex ports over our imports is so large and so continuous that we are not likely to have to ship gold to the old world for some years to come. Besides that and even more important, the increase in our production of gold is a strong safeguard for the treasury. It is at present, and promises to be, an enduring break of the 'endless chain." Gold is in such relative excess that no one wants to give up legal tender notes or in deed any sort of paper for it. "The treasury department strains every nerve to meet the demand for notes, and especially those of small dominations. At the request of the treasury, the bureau of engraving and printing is printing and delivering to the treasury only notes of $10 and un der." Fulford Sues For Damages. A. K. Fulford, the contractor, has brought an action for $10,000 damages against Probate Judge Dolman. Sheriff Cook, Arthur Massey and Frank Ben nett. Fulford was committed to jail by Judge Dolman at the instance of Arthur Massey and Frank Bennett, who acted as Massey's attorney. He was sent to jail for contempt for neglecting to turn over money he owed to Massey. In the absence of oxygen, the microbe of consump tion dies. Prof. Frankland, Ph.

SCOTT BoWtit, Chcoitft H.w York. ALLEN DENIES IT. Brands as a Lie the Statement That He Began Life as a Barber. Ever since Governor Stanley appoint ed Henry Allen as his private secretary the statement has been going the rounds of the press that Mr. Allen began life as a barber, and that he used to work at his trade out of school hours in or der to help himself through Baker uni versity. A moral has been pointed to by the press that young men may be come great by starting in life as bar bers. Mr. Allen now spoils it all by em phatically denying that he -started in life as a barber. He ruthlessly destroys all the lessons that have been taught by pointing to him as an example, simply by calling the attention of the public to the fact that he once took a prize at a baby show. It is one of the joys of his life to recall the fact that he was considered a beauty when he was a baby, so much so in fact that his parents had his picture taken in a wash bowl. Mr. Allen carries that picture in his inside pocket to this day. His good looks have remained with him through the lapse of years, and even now he is universally conceded to be the beauty of the state house. Mr. Allen takes occasion to call atten tion to all this in his paper, the Ottawa Herald, in denying that he began life as a barber.- He says: "The editor of this paper began life by being a little red baby and having pins and soothing syrup gradually in troduced in the system. Afterwards he became a beautiful child and wore long curls and a wide white collar and refused to play with bad boys on the street. It was some years later than this that he became a barber, which he did in a regular and natural manner." Notwithstanding this statement from Mr. Allen it is still contended that he began life as a shaver, at least, if not as a barber. TO USE COLORED TROOPS. Negroes May Make Up One of the New Regiments. Leavenworth. March 25. It is said at Ft. Leavenworth that one of the vol unteer regiments provided by the new army bill will be made up of colored troops, and will be organized very soon.

The general manager's office of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway was favored with a visit some days since by a stranger who persisted in seeing the general manager. When asked what could be done to make him happy he said he wanted an annual pass. Asked on what grounds he made his request, he replied that he was president of a certain railway. Mr. Allen had never heard of such a road, but consulting his guide, found that the road really existed was three miles long. He told the gentleman his road was only three miles long, while the M., K. T. was three thousand. The man replied that his road was just as wide as the "Katy." He got the pass. Weather Indications, Chicago, March 25. For Kansas: Partly cloudy and much colder tonight; Sunday fair with colder in extreme southeast portion; brisk northerly winds. DEAD IN THE WALDORF. General Bailey Died Alone in His Room. New York, March 25. General Isaac H. Bailey, 70 years old, was found dead in his room at the Waldorf-Astoria yes terday. Death was due to apoplexy. Gen. Bailey's daughter, Mrs. Heintzel man of Washington, D. C, was notified and arrived to take charge of the body. Gen. Bailey was a veteran of the civil war. His name was a prominent one In New York politics more than 25 years ago. Soon after he had come from his native state of Maine and was doing well in the hide and leather business, he identified himself with the Republi can .party and in 1857, he was made a police commissioner. He resigned in 1860 but remained prominent in Repub lican clubs and committees until 1874 when he was nominated on the Repub lican ticket for congressman. He failed of election, however, and was made chairman of the commission of charities and corrections appointed by Mayor Vance. Recently he was publisher of the Shoe and Leather Reporter. TO THE SUPREME COURT. Case Against the Slot Machines to Ba Carried There If Necessary. A meeting of the Good Citizenship federation was held last night at the First Congregational church. State Superintendent Frank Nelson addressed the meeting on "Problems of Young Men." During the evening $135 was pledged to be used in carrying on the fight against the slot machines. The federation expects to raise $700 to use in carrying the test case against the slot machines to the supreme court, if necessary. SALE OF BESSEMER PIG.

Charles E. Compton to the Hawaiian islands is the subject of great speculation in federal circles in this city. Gen. Compton sailed on the Alameda a few days ago for Honolulu. While no one is in a posi tion to explain authoritatively the pur pose of the distinguished soldier's jour ney, it is understood from excellent sources that he has gone to Honolulu to seize the crown lands of the former monarchy and by authority of the American government settle dispute of ownership that involves property worth millions oU dollars. "It is something more than coincident that Paul Neumann left Washington a short time ago and is now on his way to Honolulu. Neumann is one of the closest advisers of the ex-queen and in any investigation affecting her interests iie would be of Invaluable assistance."

From the Minneapolis Journal. 'A correspondent of the Journal wants to know why the state of Minnesota furnishes binding twine direct to the farmers through a state institution and thereby deprives the local dealers of tho profit to which they would be entitled as middlemen in distributing this pro duct. He thinks it unfair to the deal ers. The object of the state binding twine industry is two-fold: To provide employment to the prisoners, and to furnish binding twine to the farmers of the state at reasonable rates .thus pro tecting them from the exorbitant charges of the cordage trust. To sell this product entirely to local dealers without any restrictions as to the terms upon which they shall retail it to con sumers might be to deprive the farmers of the state of all the advantages of the existence of this state Industry, and it Is to protect the consumers that the state sees fit to dispose of Its twine product to farmers direct so far as they will buy and to restrict local dealers to a specified margin upon penalty of be ing deprived of the privilege of handling the product in future if they raise the price above the specified fair margin.

Twenty Hour Trains Between New York and Chicago Are In Sight, as a Permanency, It is Claimed. FIGHT OVER THE MAIL Will Cause the "Pennsylvania" to Wake Up. The Baltimore Ohio Also to Cut Its Time. Chicago, March 25. A war among the east-bound roads that may result In permanent 20-hour trains between Chi cago and New York is in sight. Already, it is said, the Pennsylvania road is shaping things to cut one or two hours from Its present 24 hour schedule between the two cities, which, if done, will compel the Lake Shore, which also maintains a 24 hours service, to meet the competition. Since 18K3 the Lake Shore has been going around with a chip on Its should er bearing the inscription, "Twenty hours between New York and Chicago," and about half daring any other roadt to knock it off. The Pennsylvania offi cials have been smarting a little under this banter, and it is now said that they are preparing to put on a 20 hour flyer, to be run every day in the year. Another factor that will influence the Pennsylvania to cut its time is the mail business. This road now has a good share of this business, but it wants more of it; and the recent action of the Lake Shore in eliminating two or three hours from the time of its New York Chicago mail train has spurred the Pennsylvania to action. Yesterday the Baltimore Ohio an nounced that it would put on a mail and passenger train that will cut six hours off the delivery of southern and western mail In Washington, New York and other eastern cities. SHUNS THE BABE SIDE. Conductor Fred J. Glass Never Beads of Murders, Fire Horrors or Wreoks. There Is a Pullman conductor run ning through Topeka over the Santa Fe in charge of the Kansas City-Wichita car, who has acquired all the knowledge he possesses of the famous Collins mur der case by hearing it discussed by pas sengers on his car. This is not a fact because he has defective eyesight or is not a well educated man, but simply because he refuses to read newspaper articles in connection with murders, sui cides, fire horrors or wrecks. His name is Fred J. Glass, and he lives in Kansas City. Mr. Glass says he has entirely over come the morbid curiosity which Is sup posed to be an adjunct of human na ture, and has now no desire to read anything In connection with a horror of any kind. "Such things are not In structive," said he philosophically, "and they simply cause one to ponder on the dark side of life." HIS LIFE NO SINECURE. A Pullman Conductor's Work Not the Snap It Seems. The life of a Pullman conductor is not exactly the "snap" that the majority of the traveling public believe it to be. They are generally looked upon as men who lounge about on cushions and view the country', with little or no responsi bility to disturb their peace of mind. The loss of sleep that they have to put up with is not taken into account, and the fact that it is from three to Ave days before any of the lost rest can be made up is not generally known. The hours that a Pullman conductor Welcome, Evil, If Thou Contest Alone. One evil that cannot come alone is impure blood. If this is allowed, it is at tended by kindred ailments galore. This condition means that every vein and artery of the body, instead of carry ing to the organs a health giving flow of life, is laden ivith a sloiv and impure fluid that is harming instead of healing. It is unfortunate when there is bad blood" between people. It is worse when it is inside of you. Hood's Sar aparilla will not make enemies friends, but it will make "bad blood" good blood, and blood should be of the bast quality. Hood's never disappoints. BlOOd Poisoning-" When I enlisted In Montana for the Cuban war I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and got several com rades to do so. It seemed to make ns proof against beat and fatigue at Key West and Tampa, while others gave out, also in Cuba. I was wounded at San Juan with a brans Jacket bullet, but got no treatment until I arrired at Fort McPhergon, Ga. The surgeon said if it had not been for my good rich blood that the brass shell would hare poisoned me sure and I would have lost my arm." Giobob P. Cooper, Ce. G. 25th U. S.

He is up until 3 o'clock the next morning, and four hours later must be ready for breakfast at Pueblo. The train arrives in Denver shortly after 11 o'clock, and from 12 o'clock until S o'clock that same evening he is priv ileged to be away from his car. Dur ing that time, however, he has a multi tude of reports to make out, and very little time can be had for rest. Eastbound the performance Is re peated. The conductor is unable to re tire before 3 a. m. each morning, and the first morning must be up by 6 o'clock to take breakfast. The second morning he is up by 8 o'clock. TERMINAL EMPLOYES.

Old "Dad" Myers, ex-engineer of the Santa Fe, will shortly leave for the state of Michigan and make his home with his sister. The Rock Island has put out a unique advertisement for the road. It is a plaster cast of a man standing in front of a bulletin board upon which is laid out the entire Rock Island system. A force of 100 men began work Thurs day morning on the M., K.

Many of the eastern lines are growing restless under the delay. One of them has an nounced that it is willing to quote the lowest rate offered by any route, direct or circuitous. The Santa Fe alone of all the transcontinental lines has an nounced what it is willing to do. The Missouri Pacific shops at Fort Scott are booming with work now.

Half Dozen Failures of Stores and Banks Followed. Receiver Morse Finally Pays 8 Per Cent Dividend. Pleasanton, March 25. The affairs of the defunct Hood Kincaid's bank of this place, the breaking of .which in 1893 was followel by a series of business failures from which this part of the state has not yet recovered, will be practically closed today. With the pay ment of the last 8 3-10 per cent dividend by Receiver O. E. Morse the creditors will receive all they will ever realize out of one of the most complete crashes in the history of Kansas banking. The Kincaid brothers, Zaimon, Rob ert and Joseph, who were the owners of the bank (the name Hood was kept in the firm after the death and withdrawal of John Hood, who had been senior partner and had given the bank its standing), were Interested in other banks and stores in nearly all the neigh boring towns. All of these suffered, half a dozen of them falling as a direct result or the collapse here. Not only did business suffer, but at least three deaths, one of them a suicide, were at tributed primarily to the shocks sus tained by the men who bad lost every thing. Robert Kincaid himself, who was charged with most of the crooked deal ing which plunged the firm into bank ruptcy, and who narrowly escaped state punishment for receiving deposits when the bank was known to be insolvent, was reported driven from home by his wife, who had lost her own property in his deals. Kincaid escaped to another state and for a long time feared to re turn. The other brothers who had been trusted to a degree which allowed them to transact business in a manner ridic ulously loose, finally undertook to help untangle the web they had woven, but were able to do but little. There was hardly a horse or cow on the stock farms the bank was supposed to own but there was a question as to its own ership. The muddle was as much more complicated than that of Gillett as the combined operations of banking, store keeping and mixed farming are than that of cattle raising. At the time the receiver took posses sion the assets of t,he bank were appar ently sufficient to pay 35 per cent of the claims against it. It was found, how ever, that besides almost endless com plications in securities, the real estate supposed to be among the principal re sources of the bank was all involved. Of all the farming and city property scattered over Kansas and Missouri not one foot not even the ground on which the bank building stood was clear in title. Even then Receiver Moore believed that 25 percent might have been realized if everything could have been turned to the best advantage, but nearly six years of litigation, during which several cases went to the supreme court and some of the heaviest creditors were frustrated in their attempt to gobble all the assets, exhausted the property until the divi dend of 8.3 per cent was all there was left.

Congressman W. A. Reeder is at his home here, superintend ing the remodeling of his residence, meeting visiting statesmen who come for office, and answering business corre spondence.

Thursday, a young man, followed by a veiled woman, stepped into the court room of Justice Wright in North To I'fka. The woman seated herself with out removing her veil. The young man. E. P. Cropp, an ac quaintance of Justice Wright, drew a marriage license from his pocket and handed it to the judge. Not a word had been spoken. The Judge read the names, K. B. Cropp and Addie Loving, and mo tioned for them to stand up. He per formed the marriage ceremony, pocket ed his fee and ushered them to the iloor. Just as the bride was leaving she turned around, raised her veil and said to the astonished judge, "Tell Juneau goodbye when you see him." "What?" exclaimed the Judge in as tonishment. "Tell him goodbye," cried the bride as she stepped on a car and waved her tiand to the surprised judge who stood In the doorway of his office. "Why. that's Bonic Juneau's wife and I have married her to another man," he exclaimed and sat down in a chair. In InM the wire of Bonic Juneau died and since then he has been living with the woman that was married to Cropp and everyone has supposed that they were man and wife. Juneau was at one time on the police force and lived at the corner of Second and Jackson streets. Then he moved to Shorey and two years ago moved onto a farm two miles north of Garfield park on the Kansas avenue road. Cropp has been living on a farm with "A Skin of Beauty is a Joy Forever."

Ind., writes that this famous remedy cured her daughter who was so sick with difficult monthly sick ness that she was in bed most of the time. From Sacramento, Cal., a lady writes that this remedy does away with surgical operations and was saved the danger and torture of the knife by be ing cured by Hazeline. A lady in Sil ver City, New Mexico, says that when she began using the remedy Ave months ago her suffering was so intense that she nearly went insane, but the timely arrival of Hazeline saved her reason and cured her so she is now healthy and happy. Such words as these are eloquent. They came straight from the heart. It Is the earnest appeal of every woman who used Hazeline to let her name go forth as a beacon light to those many other women who have been groping through the darkness of suffering un able to find even a ray of light or hope.

The young man fell in love with Addie Loving, or Mrs. Juneau, as she was known. His love was returned, for one night at 10 o'clock they arrived in a wagon at the house of a friend in Shorey. The next day Cropp met Justice Wright on the street and asked if a wo man lived with a man as his wife but was not married to him and another man should marry her if the marriage would be legal. Justice Wright said it would be a legal marriage. He thought nothing more about it until he discover ed whom he had married. After the marriage the couple left town but Cropp consulted with the county attorney. The question that has been raised is, whose wife is Addie Lov ing? Last week the supreme court de cided that if a man and woman lived together as man and wife, introduced themselves as man and wife and gave the public to understand that they were man and wife that in the eyes of the law this would be accepted as a legal marriage and the wife would inherit property from the husband. Since learning of the late decision Justice Wright is not certain whether he married a man to another man's wife or not. Chronic Rheumatism Cured. Dr. H. B. Hettinger. Indianapolis.

For nearly two decades the sa loon has been an outlaw In Kansas, and in that time according to the prevailing ratio in license states, Kansas has saved more than 25,000 of her citizens from go ing down to the drunkard's untimely and dishonored grave; she has saved $120,000,000 from going to the purchase of intoxicants: she has reduced the pro duction of beer to less than 10,000 bar rels annually, aa against 175,000 barrels annually in Nebraska; she has built up a comparatively sober and industrious citizenship, and has placed herself In the very forefront of states for her in telligence and enterprise. Tes, the day should be celebrated from one end of the state to the other by mass meet ings, by sermons, by ringing newspaper editorials, and by renewed diligence in inculcating the principles of temper ance, and in enforcement of the law.

Municipal ownership of street railways promises to become a verity in Detroit, the lower house having passed a bill authorising that city to acquire and operate such properties.

The company are at present turning out, in midsummer, 38 pianos and 45 organs per day. The necessity for immediate ex tension of the present works for the fall trade is apparent.

WON'T ADMIT IT. Stuart's Witnesses to Impeach Fool Grinstead Not Allowed hy the Senate to Do So. LAWYERS QUARREL. Orermyer Shakes His Fist at Waters and Says, "You Are Hired by a Gang of Political Scoundrels." The senate has had considerable trou ble, all during the Falloon-Stuart In vestigation, in hearing the witnesses. Most of them refused to talk loud enough.and every little while some sen ator would make a "roar" because he could not hear. At last the situation was deemed ser ious enough to demand a debate. Sena tor Forney .proposed that somebody with strong lungs repeat the witnesses' answers after them. Somebody object ed to this and several other plans were proposed. One senator said if the wit nesses sat higher up they could be heard. Acting on this suggestion the senate bootblack's stand was brought in and placed in the midst of the sena tors for the use of the witnesses. L. N. Reed of Morrill, a stockman, was placed on the stand by the contes tee to impeach J. Pool Grinstead, who testified that Mr. Stuart paid newspa pers for supporting him. Mr. Overmyer objected to impeaching a man's veracity in a town where he once lived when he had gained a new reputation at his present residence. Captain Waters asked for a half hour's recess in wtiich to cite authori ties contrary to Mr.. Overmyer. The request was granted, and when the sen ate reassembled the first argument over the question of the admissibility of evi dence occurred and during it Captain Waters and Mr. Overmyer engaged in a tilt. Both had spoken several times. when Captain Waters made a plea for fair play. You get up here and talk of honor and ask for justice," said Mr. Over myer, shaking his fist in Captain Wa ters' face, "when you are employed on the side of a gang of political scoundrels such as never existed in Kansas." A number of Republican senators had come in, and there was a disposition to support the contestee in some of the questions raised, but the motion to sus tain Mr. Overmyer s objections finally carried by a vote of 10 to 13. Senators Lewelling, Farrelly and several other Populists voted against the motion. As the Morrill witnesses to impeach Grinstead were not allowed to testify. neither side had any others present. Ray Arries had been brought to To peka by the sergeant-at-arms in the morning, but he could not be found af ter dinner. Mr. Kyan, who had come down from Hiawatha to assist Captain Waters. asked that Grinstead be again called to the stand for further cross-examination, but he, too, had gone home. The senate then adjourned until this morning, to await the arrival of wit nesses. MONEY FLEW" ABOUT But It la Difficult to Asoertain Where It Came From. Six of the witnesses whom the Stuart contingent wished to use to impeach Pool Grinstead last night, made affida vit to the statements which it had been proposed to bring out by them on the witness stand. They said that his gen eral reputation for truth and veracity at Morrill, his old home, is bad, and that they would not believe him under oath. The principal one of these wit nesses, L. N. Reed, supported Falloon, and another is a Populist. This morning when the senate met Captain Waters brought in a lot more law on the subject of admitting the testimony of the witnesses. The argu ment was gone over again and the sen ate finally voted to allow them to testi fy, but when they were called it was found that they had gone home again, supposing that they would not be allow ed to testify. Captain Waters said they would bring them back again in due time. The eontestors attorney also an nounced that they had no witnesses present, as they had been disappointed in their coming this morning. Mr. Stuart announced that the county clerk of Doniphan county, who was sub poenaed by the contestor, had arrived with the ballots of that county to be counted by the senate, and that the county clerk of Nemaha county would be here Monday. Both of these witness es when they were subpoenaed an nounced that they would not come. It was decided that the senate should go ahead and count ballots today and resume the case Monday. Senator Reser objected to keeping the senate any longer than necessary, and Mr. Overmyer announced that the con testor rested. Inasmuch as they had at tempted to bring in witnesses and had not been able to do so, inasmuch as Judge Falloon had spent all he could afford to for railroad fare for witnesses. Captain Waters then asked to recall Pool Grinstead for cross-examination, but Mr. Overmyer objected inasmuch as his side had rested. The senate over ruled the objection as Captain Waters had given notice that he would recall the witness. It was attempted to bring out that Grinstead had received $200 from Frank Elliott, $220 from F. K. Willis and a check from Judge Falloon in return for his support, although he acknowl edged receiving money from Willis and others for other purposes. F. H. Drenning, of Wathena. who was probate judge of Doniphan county for ten years, was placed on the stand by the contestee. He was suffering with the grip and it was difficult for him to testify. Judge Drenning testified that soon af ter election Pool Grinstead stopped him on the street and apparently apologized for the course of his matter, saying that lie had an arrangement with the Troy people, meaning Mr. Stuart's friends, who had promised him some of the county printing and they had gone back on him, and that he had been compelled to get even from the other side. He had made no statement as to the amount of money he had received. The witness asked Mr. Grinstead where the money had come from and the latter had said he did not like to tell, but that the wit ness would be surprised to know that a leading Republican had headed the sub scription with $50. Mr. Ryan then asked Judge Drenning to state a conversation which he had with Judge Falloon at one time before election. Judge Drenning objected be cause Judge Falloon was a guest at his house at the time. After the matter iiad been discussed for some time the witness was excused from answering on Mistakes are costly in Drug Stores therefore we never make them. A mistake in our Prescription Department would hurt us infinitely. There can be absolutely accuracy in this world there can be a place where mistakes are not made and it is right here. R. W. SQUIRES, PHARMACIST, Tele. No. 743. 733 Kansas Ave. motion of Senator Reser, but he after wards told the conversation. Judge Drenning said he had Invited Judge Falloon to see his new house and Falloon had told him that "they" had a chance to get the Wathena Star to sup port him, and asked his opinion of such a move. Drenning had replied that it would be poor polities. No mention was made of money. On cross-examination Judge Falloon asked if he did not tell the witness that other parties were getting up a sub scription to pay a mortgage of Grin stead's and they intended to hold the mortgage, but the witness could not re call any such a conversation. J. J. Baker, who was county attorney up to the last election, but who was de feated for renomination, testified that Grinstead had told him that Leland had never promised him any portion of the county printing. J. F. Harpster, cashier of the Wa thena State bank. testified $500 had been placed in his bank by different parties to the credit of Grinstead. Dr. Willis paid $220, and Frank Elliott paid $200, but there was no check of Falloon's. There was nothing said about its being for the support of Falloon. It was afterwards brought out that Grinstead had told Harpster that he could get $600 from "the other side" for supporting them and he wanted Harp ster to go and report the matter to Stuart and Leland to make them keep their promises. Grinstead had a mort gage to be paid off or he would lose his paper. COUNTING BALLOTS. The Entire Senate Will Not Stay to Watch the Proceedings. W. H. Forncrook, county clerk of Doniphan county, was placed on the stand to identify the ballots of that county, which he had brought with him to be counted. On cross examination h.e admitted that he was subpoenaed to come to Topeka on the 21st, but re fused until Mr. Stuart guaranteed his witness fees, and that he had also gone to Hiawatha to see Mrs. Leslie, county clerk of Brown county, and in company with ex-Governor Morrill had advised her not to come to Topeka. The Doniphan county ballots will be counted this afternoon and the Nemaha county ballots on Monday. By common consent of the attorneys it was agreed that the entire senate should not be kept present, but only enough to count the ballots. THE OODOWSKY CONCERT. A Large Audience Greets the Emi nent Pianist. A splendid audience heard Leopold Godowsky, the eminent Russian pianist, at the Grand Opera House last night. It was a compliment to the Ladies' Music club of Topeka, through whose efforts the musical course was arranged which resulted in Godowsky visiting To peka. Godowsky is decidedly plain in his ap pearance, but as soon as he entered Into his first number the music loving audience realized his capabilities as a pianist. His varied programme gave ample opportunity for a full display of his remarkable ability, and each num ber was enthusiastically received. As a pianist Godowsky is probably only excelled by Paderewski. He is won derfuly artistic and easy in his execu tion, and he plays with rare delicacy of feeling. His appearance proved one of the most thoroughly enjoyable events of several seasons. The programme which delighted the large audience at the Grand last night was the following: Variations and Fugue on a Handel theme Brahms Faith in Spring Schubert-Lisst Shakespeare's Serenade Schubert-Liszt Fantasie, Op. 17 (C major) Schumann (Two movements.)

Duke of York is Cut Off From the World By a Snow Storm Which Caught Him While Fishing. UNHAPPF PRINCESS Maude of Wales Displeased With Her Danish Home. Albert is No Longer the King of Fashion. Copyright 1899 by Associated Press. London, March 25. The weather in Great Britain during the past week un derwent a complete change. Last week it was warm and summerlike. This week it has been bitterly cold every where. London participated in the win tery weather, but here it was tempered by bright sunshine. The duke of York has been snowed up at Abergeldimains, near Ballater. He went there for the salmon fishing, but the weather changed quickly to Arctic cold and a heavy snow storm cut-him off from communication with the outer world. It will be days before he is liberated. The center of gravity of the fashion able world has shifted to the Riviera where Queen Victoria is now sojourn ing. There will be three more drawing rooms this season and the queen has privately intimated that she will attend one in May. Her majesty has given two additional instances of her womanly feeling this week which has made a pleasing im pression in southern France. While out driving at the beginning of the week, she overtook a peasants' walking fun eral and had no room to pass. The mourners paused and stood aside, but the queen requested the cortege to pro ceed and her own carriage followed re spectfully at a walking pace for half a mile until the roads diverged. Again while driving through Nice, on Wednesday the queen passed a child which was crying bitterly. She ordered her carriage to be stopped and sent a. member of her suite to inquire the cause of the child's distress and to give it a few coins, which had a magical ef fect. The little face brightened up and the queen drove on smilingly remark ing: "As long as nothing serious is the matter, I thought a few sous would make the little one happy." AN UNHAPPY PRINCESS. M. A. P. (Mainly About People) says Princess Maude of Wales (Princess Charles of Denmark) is notoriously un happy in her new Danish home, and that it required all the persuasions of her parents to reconcile her to return to the gloomy environment of the Danish court. Her love for her alien home, it is added is not increased by the fact that the prospect of any child of hers reaching the throne has ben destroyed by the birth of an heir to Prince Chris tian, the eldest son of the Crown Prince Frederick. The queen of Sweden and Norway has become a collector for the Salvation Army, a money box having been placed upon the dining table of the royal palace. A correspondent In Paris writes that young Parisian dandies are distressed at the loss of the Prince of Wales as "king of fashion." It is now said the prince "neglects his personal appear ance woefully, his overcoat is shabby, his hat shapeless and his tie is so much on one side that his shirt studs are visi ble." Considerable interest is taken In the announcement of the coming marriage of Lady Edith Douglas, daughter of the marquis of Queensberry to Mr. St. George Pitt, who is head of the psychi cal research society and a great author ity on "spooks." AMERICA'S PUREST CITY. Mr. Sidney-Webb, chairman of the technical education board, handled American institutions in a severe man ner while lecturing recently before the school of economics. Among other things he said: "Tammany is no worse than the Re publican organization of New York, ft is not to blame for the corruption. The purest city in America is the Mormon Salt Lake City. You must not imagine that a 'boss' is a wicked man. He does not rob the poor, but does good to the poor at the expense of the rich. The bosses are the nineteenth century Robin Hoods. The cause of the corruption lies in the character of the American. He does not believe in government and does not have the Englishman's delight in governing. He enters politics to make money, and can not conceive of any body doing anything else." In conclusion, Mr. Sidney-Webb re marKea: a ne American inaiviuuaiiy is tne Kinaest ana most considerate, most polite individual living. But col- lectively they are not yet a success." Sit. Ppninmin Stone nrpslrfpnt of tne National Photographic Record asso ciation and the author of several books of travel and articles on various scien tific subjects, has unearthed in the Vati can library, among the documents re lating to English history, an autograph, letter from King Henry VIII to the un fortunate Anne Boleyn. The epistle, which is written in French, is in the approved style of a lovesick swain and is signed with a drawing representing a heart. TERRORISM REVIVED. The condition of County Mayo is causing anxiety at Dublin castle and it is expected that the crimes act will be reapplied. Agrarian terrorism is being revived, boycotting is rife and jurors have been shot at. In spite of the signing of the Anglo French agreement regarding Africa, one cf the leading topics of the week on both sides of the channel has been an article published in the Revue des Deux Mondes, seriously outlining a scheme for the invasion of Great Britain. It proposes that 1,500 steam pinnaces be built and collected in the canals and rivers leading to the French coast; that each of them be armed with two quick firing guns, and that they convey an army of 170.000 men and 500 cannon. with the necessary ammunition stores, etc The cost of their construction is estimated 150,000,000 francs and the pinnaces are to be provided with tor pedoes to keep off hostile ships while the quick-firing guns are to repulse tor pedo boat attacks. The writer of the article says there will be no difficulty in getting the boats across, pointing out that Napoleon had a far more difficult task at Wagram. where he crossed the Danube in the face of the Austrian army. The English coast defences are classed as being a negative quantity, and the operation is looked upon by the writer as being a matter of a few hours. Three divisions of 14,500 men each are to be landed in Ireland and the Irish are to be armed with the old Gras ri fles. The English papers pooh-pooh the scheme, but the French newspapers discuss it as being a perfectly sound proposition. The Petit Journal praises the plan, declaring its chief merit is in its simplicity and unity, and points to the success of the Roman, Saxon, Dan ish and Norman invasions as proving the feasibility of the project. Happy is the man or woman who can eat a good hearty meal without suffer ing afterward. If you cannot do it, take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat, and cures all forms of Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Geo. W. Stansfleld, W. H. Wilson, A. J. Arnold Son, A. J. Kane Co. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. WHEAT Wheat today, after rul ing weak and dull during the first hour pf the session, became firm and active. Northwestern re ceipts were large and Liverpool only par tially responded to the rally here yester day. There was also a deep rooted feel ing prevailing at the start that the short interest had been largely covered and that the natural course of the price should be downward. May opened lower at 6SrSc and sold oft to 69c. At that point, however, crop damage claims from the southwest began to pour in. followed by orders to buy. This information resusci tated the bullish sentiment developed yes terday and shorts started to cover. As there was little wheat for sale the price began to rise and May soon reached lc. Realizing by bull traders at the top caused a reaction to 70c, but the trade became so thoroughly imbued with bull sentiment that the price skipped up again to 70c. Chicago received 25 cars, of which 3 grad ed contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 464 cars, against 320 oars a year ago. CORN AND OAT3 Corn and oats sym pathized with wheat, but the fluctuations were narrow. Receipts were light and the country bought freely. May corn opened a shade lower at 3o'?ic. rose to 35c, then reacted to 35!ac on profit taking. May oats began a shade lower at 2i&c, rose to 26c, then weakened to 26o.

Commission Merchant, 112 East 5th St., Topeka, Kan.. t receiver and shipper of grain: Chicago. March 25. I WHEAT Wheat, after a sharp bulge of 2o, closed steady at a shade over yester day. It was notably a case of short sell ing and for the most part around top prices. Damage reports were numerous and the country bought generally. A good indication of this condition is the fact that the pit has fairly swarmed with traders all day and houses doing a receiving busi ness were especially active. The big hoid- ers of wheat sold freely on the advance, i but were buying again on the decline. 1 World's shipments promise to be liht, un der 7.000.000 bushels. There was no sig nificant export business doing, but St. I Louis has taken practically all the red i wheat in this market. It will probably be shipped there. While it is still early to even guess at tne extent 01 crop dam age, the farmer seems to be sufficiently convinced of damage, judging from the light offerings. Winter wheat receipts are extremely light and there are no ac cumulations anywhere. Cash wheat is still stronger than the futures. We think the short seller will continue to be the one to settle and favor buying on the breaks. CORN Corn was firm but not very act ive. It has felt the wheat strength in a small way. Patten covered a line, while Counselman bought. The old hull crowd has been taking July through its houses. New York has led the selling. The stocks here will decrease about 400.000 bushels for the week, and the visible will decrease.' Cash demand rather slow, due. however, to inabilitv of shippers to work with the seaboard rather than to lack of demand. OATS Oats were steady, but trading rather slow, considering the advance in wheat. Iowa haa sent bullish- advice. claiming that oats were up at this time last vear. and not in the ground this iefj PROVISIONS Provisions Arm. witn slightly better prices for everything. 1 ne advance in the grain market was a favor able influence, but the good lard accept ances over night had a better effect. racK ers bought moderately of lard airvJ"" port sales.

Chicago: Cables close firm, though not reflecting our advance. Outside shons only began to cover yesterday. Yester day's buying did not appear of a concen trated character.

1 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1899, THEY HEACH DENVER. fFrnra the Denver Republican. Several hundred homeseekers on tho vav from the effete east to the great and glorious west camped in the Union depot yesterday. Are we busy today?" said One of the depot officials. "No, we have nothing to do but answer questions." And then aother homeseeker stepped vp and said: "On which track does the Union Pacific po out tonight?" "First track, leaves at 6:40. "I know it don't leave until night, but I wanted to toe sure, so I -wouldn't get left." Life was a burden for everyone at the depot who had occasion to mingle with, the crowd. For a time during the morn ing even standing room was at a pre mium in the wailing rooms .and during the whole day it was a difficult matter to pick a war through the conglomerate mass of luggage scattered about over the floor. The homeseekers came in groups, beginning with the Kansas branch of the Vnion Pacific at 4:20 a. tn., which brought in about 100. On the Rock Island, which arrived at 7:4a a. m.. there were from CO to 75 and the Burlington arriving at 7 a. m. brought about the same number. Another Un ion Pacific Kansas train arriving at noon brought nearly 100 persons. The Missouri Pacific turned over 63 men to the Denver Rio Grande at Pueblo yesterday morning. Most of them were destined for southern Col orado points and they were not brought to Denver. The greater portion of those passing through here left last night for iregon and Washington, while others were ticketed to Salida, Graniero, Lead ville and Pueblo. All sections of the Mississippi valley contributed their quo to to the homeseekers and one party, consisting of 20 persons, came from Sul livan countv In eastern Tennessee. This was a party of tall mountaineers and their families under the leadership of an old man, with snowy white hair. "Mos' of "em is related to me," he said pointing with pride to those who stood about him. "I'm jes going on a visit to my son-in-law in Oregon, but the rest of 'em is going to stay thar an' settle." Among the passengers allghtinjr from the Union Pacific which arrived at noon was a man from one of the eastern counties of Missouri. He was loaded clown with valises and bundles which Ke .-arefnllv denosited in the genaral waiting room. Then he sauntered out and accosted one or tne caomen mis wav: "Say, pardner. how much is It to ride me to the Rocky Mountains?" "Cost you $'5," said the cabbie with a twinkle in his eye. The questioner turn ed awav with a laugh, saying: "Purty high; guess you think I'm Jok ing." He tackled the next cabman and got a similar answer. It was not until he reached the third man in line that he discovered how far it was from Denver to the blue hills in the west. Havana Love-Making a la Mode. From the Atlanta Constitution. When I heard that no young woman ever visited alone, drove alone, attended a party alone, or, worse than that, saw her sweetheart alone, says a corres pondent in Havana, I asked how on earth they first met their husbands and how they gave expression to their love. I was tcld then that the Cubans of that high life of which I write all know each other, and that they dispense a hospi tality informal but none the less ele gant and brilliant. A Cuban gentleman with a promising son calls with the latter on an old friend with a pretty daughter. The latter has been told the time has come for her to think of a husband, and by the tell tale witchery of her eyes, it doesn't take her long to make the heart of her youthful adorer go pit-a-pat as he meets her responsive gaze. The poor things may gaze longingly at the seat underneath the palm tree in a distant part of the garden, but not one inch can they budge from under the scrutinizing gaze of the two "papas." who, if they approve of what appears to be so, say: "Bless you, my children; you are betrothed." "But now they can go off alone and talk it all over," the sympathetic Amer ican girl may observe. I hoped so, too, but they can't, and their betrothal is as well chaperoned as the first days of their meeting. If the papas grow tired, somebody else takes their place In the role of vigilance, and not till the Cuban lover claims his bride can he demand the privilege of telling her that "he loves her." all alone. Elephants Earn Their Living. (From the San Francisco Call.) Three elephants earn $10,000 a year. This is $2.vJ more than the salary of a mem ber of the president s cabinet and $3, 10 less than the income of an admiral in the Tiavy. a rank done away with because con gress thought the salary too high. These elephants are at the London Zoo and they earn their money by carrying on their backs the patrons of the gardens. Every Arry takes nis Arriet and hies him to the Zoo on bank holidays and for five cents they can Jog about the ring on the back of one of the elephants. The elephants are stationed in different part of the Zoo and there seems to be a bit of professional jealousy between l hem. Apparently they are on good terms between hours, but when business is brisk and the largest one is coining money, for he is the favorite, the other two try to lash him with their trunks as he passes. The larger elephant is a financial record breaker. He Is the senior member, so to speak. On one holiday he carried 1,600 persons. There are canwls which are sought after by those who are left out in the scramble for the elephants, but the old patrons of the Zoo pay the uneven motion of a camel Is only appreciated by an old salt who is most at home on an exceedingly choppy tea. The camels are too cultivated a taste for the ordinary mortal. Three camels earn about $1,200 a year, but thev cost less to keep thanhheir more successful brothers. The elephants eat up most of their profits. The greatest number of visitors to the Zoo in one dav was 44.000. and an average of 500 pounds of daintien was fed to the brothers of the royal executioner of India. Tolstoi's Daughter at Work Tolstoi s second daughter. Maria, Is put ting into practical operation some of her father's theories, says Harper's Bazar. When the family property was divided she refused to accept her portion, and. though she lives at home, and is therefore in one fpn dependent, she works in the fields with the peasants, and turps over the money she makes to those who are dis abled by Illness. The money she makes, to be sure, is not excessive. Twenty or thirty kopecks per day comprise all her gain a kopeck being half a cent of our money. When asked whv she did not de vote herself to more lucrative labors, the better to provide for her indigent neigh lors. she replied: "As a matter of fact. I know of nothing I can do that will bring me in more money than my work in the fields does. I have not been trained to make a living equal to that which I now enjoy at home, and if I were forced to shift far myself I don't know that I could do any better than by working as a peas ant woman." Some Healthy Western Cities. Portland, Ore., is one of the healthiest cities In the world. In 1893 the death rate was 13 per 1,000. In 1898 is was as low as 8.66, thanks chiefly to the excel lent water from Bull Run river, which it cost $4. 000,000 to bring into the city. Denver has a death, rate of 9.48, Los Angeles 13.16, and San Francisco 17. We wilJ wash your colored shirts an guarantee colon from fading. Peerless Steam Laundry. 113 and 114 W. 8th.

"All persons worshiping in this church are requested to remove their head coverings." This placard hanging on the bulletin board of Calvary Methodist Episcopal church will notify the members of the largest Methodist congregation in the city when they enter the church Sunday that an active crusade has begun to induce women to remove their bats in church. The pastor. Rev. Dr. Willis P. Odell. is the leader in the new move ment. The official board of the church are a bit doubtful. It required three weighty discussions at as many meet ings of the board before it was decided to take the plunge. There tare more than 1.000 women in the congregation in the handsome edifice at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Seventh avenue every Sunday. News of the in novation has quietly circulated through out the parish and the subject has Stirred up an animated discussion. Some of the women have agreed to follow their pastor. Most of them, however, shake their heads somewhat doubt fully. AMUSEMENTS. WASHBURN CHAPEL, MARCH 27, 1889. "MERCHANT OF VENICE." Music between acts by Misses Ingalls and Pond, Pianists.

To Check the Business Activity of the Country Through the Wild Fluctuations of Stocks OR TRUST FORMATIONS With Their Enormous Capitali zation. Production Goes on Without Appreciable Diminution. New Tork, March 25. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Business is not frightened, either by the great capitalization of new companies or by the wild fluctuations in Wall street. No matter how much the itock operations In New Tork may count, business is enough elsewhere to warrant a wonderful expansion of industries, and that is the thing most important to observe. In no considerable branch has production dimin ished, but in practically all it has been In creasing during the past week. In Iron and stetTa little lower price for Besswntr pig appears at Pittsburg, but with grey forge 75 cents higher there and southern iron at Chicago 50 cents to $1 higher. There is no market for billets, as no works east or west can furnish them lit present, but quotations range in price from t& at Pittsburg to $27 at Philadel phia. In finished products there is the same trouble. Rails can be bought at $23 at Pittsburg and $i4 at Chicago, if at all. but small lots have been sold at $26 at New York. Chicago is taking many con tracts for building in Boston, New York and Washington, amounting to 4,000 tons, but makers elsewhere are overcrowded with work. No market can deliver plates within any reasonable time, and Pitts burg works are. sold to July on sheets, though instead of $2.40 there. $2.65 at Chi cago and at Philadelphia is paid. Plate mills are full and there is a heavy flemand at Chicago for bars, with one car maker's contract for 5. 0H0 tons, prices teadily growing stronger. The minor metals are all weaker with the reaction of IO mi on speculation, though copper hts de clined to 17 cents here, and is yet so much above- London that exports have been topped for the week. The February out put, both here and in other countries, was greater than last year s monthly average, although February is a short month. Wool is at the doubting point, with large ales ordered from the interior by tired holders, and some concessions made to secure transactions at Philadelphia and Boston, thoutch Quotations show onlv a moderate decline, and sales at the three t PUI IMKCHMSOP TARTAR NIDII CIUEAHI Awarded Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair 'DEI' What a Penny Will Bay Remarkable List From Topeka's Great Cash House Popularly Known as the "Topeka Cash.'

The goods are in rather better demand than a year asro, but no large class of mills can be fully em ployed. The demand for cotton goods is still strong, but this week has not materi ally advanced prices. Cotton is decidedly weaker, though many believe that short supplies will in time insure higher prices, but mill and commercial stocks are about 6X.000 bales larger than last year abroad and mill stocks heavier because the mills are buving very little, although crowded with work, while the commercial stocks here are quite large. The wheat market is just now somewhat stronger, for, although the western re ceipts for the week were 3,359.000 bushels against 2.oo7.666 bushels last year, and for three weeks. 2.900, 0i bushels larger, the exports, flour included, have been for the week from Atlantic ports 2,920.4Ji bushels, against 8,124.569 bushels last year, and from Pacific ports 824, 1S3 bushels, against 1,371. 827 bushels last year, .other exports being 3Tt0,92O bushels. It is not possible to ignore the importance of so great a demand ex tending beyond the middle of March, and. sober traders realize that it means a heav ier outgo than has been yet expected. Western crop estimates are large, and such reports as appear of the condition of wheat for the coming year are. on the whole, favorable, but prices are 3c higher than last week, while corn is 21c higher. The market for cotton has been decided ly weak, owing to somewhat better re ceipts at the south and also to the convic tion that stocks on hand are large enough to meet all demands. Failures for the week have been 200 in the United States, against 261 last year,and 4 in Canada, against 21 last year. SEARCHING FOB AN DREE. Prof. Nathorst Will Lead an Expedi tion to the East Greenland Coast. Stockholm, March 25 It is said that Baron Nordenskjold has In his dining room a photograph of the ascent of Andree's balloon and an empty space beside it to which he pointed recently as he said to a visitor: "A photograph of Andree's landing will be hung there, for I am firmly con vinced that he will return." His confidence is shared by Nansen and most other Scandinavians who have had experience In the Arctic regions and it is not surprising therefore to hear that they propose this season to continue their quest for the intrepid aeronaut. The leading search party will be under the command of Prof. Nathorst who thinks it likely that Andree and his two companions, Strind berg and Frankel, reached the coast of East Greenland and are still alive in that region, where they may be sub sisting on musk oxen and other animals to be found there. The professor will accordingly start In June next and try to force a passage through the ice barrier to the East Greenland" coast. If Andree is there and was able to push on to Angmagsalik in 66 degrees N. lat., he Is all right for there is a Danish station at that point among the most northern Eskimos of the east coast and the supply ship would bring Andree home when she makes her annual visit next summer. So Nathorst will not visit that part of the coasi Dut win pusn much further north, to Cape Bismarck if possible, and if he finds no trace of Andree there he pao poses to go further north by sledge. The coast between Cape Bismarck and Independence Bay has not been explored and if the professor has occasion to make the proposed sledge journey he will have a fine opportunity to fill in a long stretch of Greenland's outline that is still unknown. Mr. Hammer, a merchant cf Christi ania. is equipping, at his own expense, the steam whaler Recla for the Journey, and money is now raising in Sweden for the other expenses of the expedition. Nathorst may find it necessary to win ter in Greenland, as the difficult navi gation in the ice-choked coast waters may prevent the leturn of his vessel this season.

New Tork, March 25. Max Levy, a wholesale liquor dealer of 37 Carmine street, and Marcus Rosenthal, a whisky broker of 781 Park avenue, and his wife Hattie, were arraigned before Magis trate Brann in the Harlem police court this morning on a charge of conspiring to defraud Terrence Rafferty. a Catholic priest, out of real estate and buildings on East Eleventh and Delancy streets. Levy and Rosenthal were each held under bonds of $2,000 for examination before Magistrate Brann on Thursday. The woman was released in the cus tody of her lawyer. According to Rafferty's complaint, the property involved has a value of be tween J75.000 and $100,000. In his complaint the priest says that Levy and the Rosenthais. while he was under the influence of liquor, induced him to turn over to them deeds and mortgages for the property and alleged in an affidavit that the defendants kept him habitually intoxicated in order to get his property. OUR SOLDIER DEAD. To Be Interred In One of the Most Beautiful Sites in Arlington. Washington, March 25. One of the most beautiful sites in the Arlington National cemetery has been selected as the spot for the last resting place of the dead soldiers who lost their lives in the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns, and whose bodies are not claimed by relatives. Colonels Moore and True of the quarter masters department were designated by Secretary Alger to select the place. It is on high ground overlooking the Potomac river on the south side of the mansion which was at one time the home of Robert E. Iee. Secretary Moore has approved the selection made by these two officers, and as soon as the transports bring the bodies to Washington they will be buried with military honors. A handsome monu ment will be erected to mark the last resting place of the heroes who died in the service of their country. Colonel Moore said this afternoon: "If the parents and relatives knew what good care would be taken of these graves they would not ask to have the bodies sent home to be buried in many instances in the small cities, only to be disturbed by the march of progress. If these bodies are buried at Arlington the graves will be taken care of as long as the government stands, and on each decoration day the people will decorate their graves." Killed in the Mines.

's Handsome Stock of Millinery. Miss Wilson's New York Trip, The Topeka Cash" Millinery the Correct Thing. Topeka Is filled with pretty millinery this season. Nearly all the dealers seem to have invested in larger stocks than usual. For several years back there has been a noticeable improvement each year over the preceding, not alone in the quantity but also in the quality of the offerings by our Millinery concerns. Whatever may have been the conditions formerly, there is certainly no occasion this year for any woman, however criti cal, going away from home to buy her Easter bonnet. She will not only pay more in Kansas City but she will not improve any on the style or quality. We believe Miss Wilson is showing in her department at The Topeka Cash Dry Goods Co. Just as beautiful hats as any to be found in any store in Kansas City or St. Joseph. She bought the bulk of her stock this year in New Tork, though a part of it came from St. Louis and Chicago. We understand Miss Wilson was the only milliner from Topeka who DOG'S FINE FUNERAL. Silver Trimmed Casket None Too Good For Mr. and Mrs. Leach's Pet Pug Donald. New Tork, March 25. Donald was buried yesterday. Two undertakers as sisted in the funeral. Donald was eight ears old and the only pug dog of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Leach, of No. 184 Hart street, Brooklyn. Mr. Leach is a retired book dealer. Donald was a wonder according to Mrs. Leach. "It breaks my heart to think of poor little doggie," she said last night. "He was well a week ago, but caught a cold. We have another pet. Podgy, a parrot, who has been with us for twenty-five years. Podgy knows something has happened to Donald. I did not see my dear little doggie in his coffin. Those who did said that he looked lovely. But I do not care to talk about the funeral." Miss Genevieve McHugh, the seventeen-year-old daughter of an under taker at No. 28 Kosciusko street, said: "Mrs Leach came to our store and said: 'My dear little Donald is dead. Doggie was like a child. I want a nice little coffin for him, and a coach to call at our home and convey his dear little body to the Long Island railroad sta tion.' "I showed Mrs. Leach a coffin, but she said: 'I would not have my dead dog gie stuffed into a coffin like that. We then trimmed a handsome casket with silver handles and silver thumbscrews and at noon sent a coach to the Hart street house. The burial was in Lyn brook, L. I., where the Leaches have their country seat. Another undertaker took charge of matters there." WOMEN ANGRY AT PECK. Washington Patriots Denounce the Paris Exposition Commissioner. Washington. March 25. Some indignant women patriots of Washington who are for the flag and a government Job are after the scalp of Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago, commissioner general for the Paris exposition. They are "resoluting" for vengeance, and the Post gives the fol lowing account of their taking the war path "The members of the Woman's National Industrial and Patriotic league, of which Charlotte Smith is president and Martha Johnson secretary, are very indignant at Commissioner General Peck because of an alleged refusal to employ any woman In connection with the display of the United States in the Paris exposition. "At a meeting of the league in its head quarters last night strong resolutions were adopted on this alleged failure of Commis sioner Peck to recognize their sex in the distribution of offices, and asking that, in retaliation for the 'arbitrary and unjust discrimination against women promulgat ed by the American commissioners, the women of the country who intended visit ing and participating in the exposition ig nore it, and also call upon the American manufacturers and business men of the country to resent this insult to American women, who. possessing genius, talent and industry, have, because of political ostra cizement, been unable to obtain state and national appropriations, though taxed for revenue to establish such expositions, and are placed at the mercy of those who, through political influence and chicanery, are elevated to such positions as that of Commissioner General Peck to display their egotism and injustice.' "The resolutions also call attention to the fact that there is to be held under the auspices of the league a woman's indus trial exhibit in this city In May. 1900, to which the women of every country have been invited to contribute and participate, and where no 'Commissioner General Peck will be in command. Commissioner General Peck was much surprised that anyone should claim that any discrimination has been shown against women. He said the commissioners had endeavored to obtain a special women's department, but the French authorities had refused to grant the request. lie claimed the charges of the National In dustrial and Patriotic league were entirely without foundation and that women would be represented in the coming exhibition the same as men. $28.85. $28.85.

Depew, senator-elect, who has returned from a house-hunting expedition to Washing ton, much wearied, but fuller of wis dom. He also added one story to his repertoire. "House-hunting in Washington Is like house-hunting everywhere else," said Mr. Depew, judicially, yesterday after noon. "It can be properly described only in words unfit for publication. I haven't done any house-hunting for a good many years. Mrs. Depew selected the house we bought in Forty-fifth street, and I bought this one myself. I happened to dine here one night a good many years ago. It was just the kind of a house I wanted. I made the owner an offer and he accepted it. "I was in a measure unsophisticated as a house-hunter when I went to Washington. Now I know more about exposures, plumbing, tiling, ventilation and easy stairs than the average real estate agent. And I have respect for the real estate agent, particularly the Washington real estate agent. He is much more advanced, more scientific, and at the same time more enthusiastic than the New York man. "The Washington real estate man is a fascinating and agreeable chap with the finest assortment of fairy tales I ever listened to, and I am a man of some experience.
