Wednesday via Lourenzo Marques, says: The report to the effect that the total British prisoners taken in the opera tions southeast of Lloemfontein was 1, i00, was an error owing to two Boer lienerals reporting the same engage ment under different names.

George B. Cortelyou is the present assistant serretary to the president. Mr. Porter's health was seriously im paired about a year ago by a severe at talk of illness, and since then he hae been at times relieved somewhat from the otierou3 duties of his office, but failing to regain his health and believ ing that complete separation from offi cial cares is essential to his speedy and permanent recovery the secretary has been constrained to tender his res ignation, which the president has re luctantly accepted. His physicians en join complete rest and change, that he may have every facility for rapid im provement. Mr. Cortelyou was born in New York city July 2fi, 1862, and belongs to one of the oldest families.

GUARDS DOUBLED, Marshall Field Building is Com pletely Surrounded By a Force of Policemen and Special Officers. HAD STRICT ORDERS. Were Told to Keep the Crowds on the Move. Workmen Will Be Escorted to Their Homes Tonight. Chicago, April 13. The Marshall Field building in course of erection at Clark and Adams street, where yesterday the most serious rioting that ha3 occurred during the present labor difficulties took place, was today completely surrounded by policemen and special officers, the guard for the building being more than doubled. The officers had strict orders to keep the crowds moving and any ten dency to loiter (near the building was liable to result in disaster to the curious one. Twenty-five nor.-unlon men slept in the building last night on cots furnished by the contractors and the police re ported that about as many more en- sPi co"s I On the Bryan-y Deep. Dewey Kansas City Harbor appears to be pretty heavily mined. tered the building today and went to work. No further trouble is anticipated until the non-union men leave work and in order to prevent rioting then a special force of officers will be detailed to escort the men to their homes. An open letter was given out by the contractors today in which it is an nounced with special reference to the strikers and all unions affiliated with the building trades' council, that the contractors intend to complete the Mar shall Field building with non-union labor, no matter what difficulties are met. BRYAN AND DEWEY. McLean Wants the Ticket to Read That Way. Washington, D. C, April 13. John R. McLean, Admiral Dewey's brother-in-law, has privately sent word to Ohio Democratic leaders that he expects the Ohio Democracy to send a delegation to Kansas City instructed for William Jennings Bryan for president. This is the infornation given out here today by a McLean lieutenant one who is known to be in the confidence of the Ohio magnate. There is every reassn to believe that the information is au thentic, and that it gives strong ground for the gossip that Admiral Dewey will be pushed byi him later for the second place on the .Democratic national ticket. It seems clear, according to the news received from various leaders in the Dewey camp, that there is not even a remote chance of the Dewey managers being able to capture as many as one third of the delegates to Kansas City, or of being able with the aid of in structed Dewey delegates and unin structed delegates to excite a ripple over the Democracy rule which requires the winning candidate to secure a two thirds majority. John R. McLean's secret instructions to his Ohio managers that it is best to send Ohio's delegation to Kansas City instructed for the Ne braskan, following so closely the state ment from Bradley B. Smalley of Ver mont that Dewey's state will ignore the admiral's candidacy, and instruct for Bryan, makes it nearly certain that Dewey's friends intend to put him for ward for second place when the oppor tune hour arrives. It is true that New York Democrats are saying they will not send an in structed delegation to Kansas City, but they oualify this statement by calling attention to the fact that New York's declaration for Bryan last fall renders unnecessary any additional instructions and that all their votes will be cast for the nominee of 'AS. In addition to McLean's alleged in structions to Ohio Democrats, there are many other bits of circumstantial evidence tending to prove that the reael purpose of the Dewey managers is to boom the admiral for first place until attention has been attracted to him as a political factor, and then to quietly set up the pins which shall land him in second place on the Democratic na tional ticket. Admiral Dewey will leave here April 23 for his western trip and will not re turn to Washington until the middle of May. DOCTORS ABE SCARCE. Porto Hi can s Dying For Want of Attention. San Juan, P. R., April 13. The start ling fact was recently made public that in many districts of Porto Rico, where the population reaches thousands, that there is no resident physician. At Utuado the death rate is 80 per cent, annually, and the town is a day's ride from Ponce through the mountains. It appears that physicians have been sent to these districts, but they refuse to re main, largely because no town is able to support one. As a. result of this condition of things the order providing a physician for every BOO people js now very difficult of enforcement, because the towns reply that there is no fund to pay for such service. The island is one vast poorhouse, and there are opportunities for charity at every step. Were $10,000 to be expended immedi ately for medicine and medical aid, it would possibly save the lives of 3,000 people. At one time the government considered the feasibility of assigning a physician to each town, at an aggre gate cost of $80,000 per year, but the funds for such an outlay are not avail able. ASHAMED OF HIS COLONEL. Why Lieut Webb C. Hayes Left the Army. Washington, April 13. Lieut. Col. Webb C. Hayes, of the 31st infantry, son of the late President Hayes who was honorably discharged from the United States army at his own request, is now on his way to San Francisco. No reason is assigned at the war de partment for his retirement from the military service, but an extract from a -From New York Tribune. letter from a non-commissioned officer the 31st infantry, written at Zambanga, throws light on it. The writer, who asks that his name be withheld, writes as follows: "On February 17 Col. Petit, in com mand of this regiment, took 21 privates, one sergeant and three corporals from company C, and accompanied by As sistant Adjutant General Pershing and captain of company C, all heavily arm ed, embarked on a small steamer. Their object wastocaptureone of Aguinaldo"s officers on a small adjacent island, Is abella, only a few hours' trip from here. When they reached the town where this officer was stopping the Morro Dado, or chief, came out to meet the boat, and informed Col. Petit that he could not land his men under arms, but that if he would leave all of the arms on board ship he and his men could come in and view the town. This was done. "The town was found to be a small one, containing probably 400 men and women, all told. The women as well as men were armed with huge bolos and rifles. After entering the town in their shirt sleeves the enlisted men had to submit to having the Morros deliberate ly put their hands into their pockets and take their tobacco. When the time for departure arrived the chief submit ted a proportion to Col. Petit to sur render the man they were after for $20 in gold. Col. Petit accented the propo sition, leaving his prisoner in charge of the marines en route here. "On his arrival here Col. Petit had a talk with Lieut, Col. Hayes, a fine man with a good record, and Col. Hayes told him he was ashamed of his conduct and blushed for the entire 31st regiment, and would have himself immediately transferred from such a disgraceful outfit or resign. Col. Hayes left here yesterday for Manila on an unlimited leave of absence, carrying his entire belongings. "Col. Petit has supreme command of this island. He is the man w ho has re cently given four men 'bobtail' dis charges, with two three and four months' sentences in government pris ons, for plain drunk, telling them they were a disgrace to their flag and unfit to wear the blue. "I will not sign my name for- pru dence's sake, and send you this through kindness of an old 1st Kentucky friend. Adios." The writer further explained his man ner of sending the letter by saying that he feared that if it was addressed to a newspaper office it would never leave the island. A CONFUSION OF NAMES. This Is Responsible For Rumor of a Strike on ttueen Crescent Cincinnati, April 13. The rumor of an anticipated strike today on the Queen Crescent route was brought to the atten tion of General Manager Murphy of that road and he promptly stated that no sort of intimation of a strike had been made by any class of their employes. "We are a happy family," said he, "and have no grievances to adjust. I have no doubt the rumor arose from the con fusion of names. Our road being known as the Cincinnati Southern, has been con founded with the Southern railway, whose telegraphers were reported yesterday to have been ordered to strike. There is no shadow- of trouble on th Queen Crescent. INDIGNATION. Mass Meeting of Excited Colored People Is Held. Edward Stevens the Object of Their Wrath. SCHOOL BOARD ROW. Outgrowth of Charges Made at Recent Session. Defender of Stevens is Allowed to Speak. Not The colored people of Topeka in mass meeting assembled at the old court house Thursday night spitted, roasted and basted Edward Stevens, who made an attack upon the colored people of the city before the board of education at the last meeting of that body. Although several political meetings were being held, about 75 of the leading colored men of the city assembled to have their inning at Stevens. One of Stevens' followers. Rev. B. F. Foster, appeared single-handed before the meeting and tried to stem the tide of indignation that swept the room at every mention of Stevens' name. He was hooted and ridiculed each time he attempted to speak. Rev. Mr. Shafer, of the FirBt African Methodist church, was chosen chairman, and before the meeting was over he had hammered the speaker's stand so full of dents that it resembled a chopping block.- J. H. Guy was called upon to state the ob ject of the meeting. He sailed into Stevens without ceremony. "Four years ago Stevens came here and started a kindergarten. That has grown to be the Topeka Industrial In stitute. It seems that recently Stevens made it a point to speak derogatory of the colored people of Topeka, male and female. None were exempt. He charged all with being corrupt and the most corrupt he had ever seen in all his travels. The object of this meet ing is to see whether the colored people who have been here 10, 20 and even 20 years are now to be branded as cor rupt and that brand go forth to the white people who already hold the col ored people in disfavor. This meeting is to see if the people will resent this slur or not. Should this come from a man who is fed on account of the good he is supposed to do his race?" A committee was appointed to pre pare resolutions. The following were the members: S. P. Hawkins, J. S. Edwards. Dennis Hope, J. H. B. Taylor and J. B. Bass. The resolutions were read after a recess of a few minutes. The resolutions denounced Stevens in the strongest terms, and made serious charges against him. His followers were styied "lickspittles." A3J every red hot, roasting paragraph was read it was greeted with applause. "Mr. Stevens never said that about all the colored peorde." shouted the Rev. Mr. Foster, as re sprang to his feet. "I have Irere a le.ter I wish to read." "'n no. r-.o." veiled the crovd. "Stevens said that the colored people nf Toneka are immoral, said Mr. ouy. "He made that statement at tha last meeting of the school board. "He did not." screamed Foster. "What if three members of the school board say that he did askea sc "Then I would call them each and ev ery one collectively and singly liars, shouted Foster who was warming up. "I believe what the resolutions say ond move their adoption." said Guy. "What if he did say it?" shouted Fos ter, "I have here an apology from hirn. Let me read it," "I wish to hear no written apology from a man w ho calls his race niggers," said Guy. "All niggers say niggers," shouted Foster. "You say niggers. I have heard you." "Rut I am not at the head of an In dustrial institute." "But you are a great lawyer." At this stage the chair rapped for or der and Mr. Foster apologized to the meeting for the little wrangle that had taken place. "I have no fight with Mr.Foster," said Guv, "but when he says Stevens did not make that statement he lies. Why did not Stevens come here instead of send ing a proxy with a letter "He wanted to come but I told him not to," said Foster. "He is too impul sive. He might get excited." "The proxy seems a little bit excited." Rev. W. L. Grant was called upon for a speech. He said: "This seems to be a thrust at our social and domestic prin ciples. The time has come when we know a black rascal is as dangerous as a white man. I must protest against the language used before the board of education. They say it is true that those statements were made so help them God. The man that would make those statements should be hanged in effigy. The institution that he is the head of should be ruled by the people, with the people and for the people in stead of by him. We should send a committee before" the board of mana gers and demand Stevens' removal." "I have here a paper I wish to pre sent." said Foster. "Put him out," yelled Col. Jeltz. "You haven't time to put me out," shouted Foster." May I read this pa per?" "No, no, no." "I move the adoption of the resolu tion." said Guy. "All those in favor of the adoption of the resolutions as read say aye," an nounced the chairman. There was a thunderous shout of "aye." "Those not in favor say "no," said the chairman. "N-o-o," screamed Foster. "May I read this paper?" "I move we adjourn," said Guy. "May I read this paper?' 'asked Fos ter. "I second the motion," said another. "Gentlemen, please let me read this paper," said Foster.. "Be fair, gentle men." The meeting was adjourned before he had a chance to read his paper. Smallpox Breaks Up Excursion. Rome, April 13.

A special to the Herald from Washington says: Nicaragua has disavowed to the uni ted States that she organized and dis patched to David the expedition which has aroused so much concern in Colom bia and Costa Rica. Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here, understands that if any such ex pedition landed at Boca Chica, or Boca Brava, Colombia, it was of a filibuster ing character, and must have escaped the "due diligence" observed by his government. In view of the pacific representations made by Nicaragua and its disavowal of any intention to engage in hostilities against Costa Rica or Colombia, the authorities believe it will now be a much easier task to preserve peace in Central America. TO PiUN WITH BRYAN. Massachusetts Democrats and Popu lists For Geo. Fred Williams. Washington, April 13.

Diggs today made the following statement, to a reporter for the Journal: "The statement has been going the rounds or tne press that my son, Fred L. Diggs, who was recently re-elected mayor of Perry, ran on a "wet" ticket. The statement is wholly false.

Clash Between McKeever and Wilson Forces in Fifth Ward. There was an exciting political meet ing at Brown's chapel m the Fifth ward Thursday evening which several times came near" breaking up In a fight. The meeting was called in the interest of the candidacy of E. D. McKeever for repre sentative but it developed that the fol lowers of A. K. Wilson, Mr. McKeever's opponent, were also there, and practical ly captured the meeting. H. S. Chiles called the meeting to or der. The man slated for chairman was Clarence Moss and he was duly nom inated but the. anti-McKeever support ers nominated A. J. Jarrett. The vote was. in iayorof Jarrett but Chiles re fused, to announce the result. Instantly there. was a hub bub. Men jumped upon chairs and there was a. rush toward the front. J. E. Larimer who was there in the interest of A. K. Wilson mounted tne platform and said that the Wilson men were not there to raise a row and he asked that the audience become quiet and allow Chiles to continue to preside. This was done and Mr. McKeever made his speech and presented a picture of Congressman Charles Curtis. He prom ised to secure all the places possible for colored men. He was interrupted by George Hightower who sang a song, -We'll be there but you won't be there." A Dawson who is employed in State Treasurer Grimes' office made a speech and he was followed by A.

CALKIN'S ORCHESTRA, 7:30 to lO O'Clook, SATURDAY EVE. The Army OfScer Won a Num ber of Lots. lie Also Tnrchased Half of the Townsite at One Time. Wichita, April 13. The deed record of Sedgwick--county shows that Admiral and Mrs. Dewey are considerably inter ested in Wichita real estate. Besides owning some lots outright, they are mixed up in the titles of several other lots to which their quitclaim deeds will iiave to be obtained before the title is cleared. Attorney Stimpson is in cor respondence with Mrs. Dewey concerning- several of these lots. The interest of the Deweys came through Gen. W. B. Hazen, Mrs. Dewey's first husband, who was stationed in this section of Kan fois in 1S71 and from that time until lxxo was quite actively interested in rVichila real estate. Chris J. Pearce, who In 1871 was at torney for William UrelfTenstein, is said to know of some interesting details con cerning Major General Hazcn's first dip Into the rtalty market. The story goes that rarly in 1871, while General Haztn and his troops were stationed near Wichita there was a spirited poker game in progress in which several of the pioneers and the general were en gaged. One engagement lasted all day and night between General Hazen and a man named Hanoroft. When the game finally broke up. General Hazen had wen all of Bancroft's money and J4W more, which Bancroft could not pay. In order to settle up with Gen eral Hazen, Bancroft is said to have deeded llazen about fifty lots In the growing young village of Wichita.' Home of these lits are described in the deed record as follows: Lots S3 and 12J Texas street; P.S. 1U9. 12S, 138 Chisholm street: 12S and 161 Court street; 41, 1126 and 1.11 Church street; 9, 16, 56. 59, 146 and 149 Wichita street; 24. 64 and 142 Waco avenue. Chisholm street is now Market street, and Court street is now Main street. Lot 109 North Market street, which is the second lot south of Kighth' street, was never deeded by General llazen. A year after the poker game between General Hazen and Mr. Bancroft, Ban croft is saiii to have redeemed most of the lots which he deeded to General Hazen. It is related by pioneers that at one time William Grelffenstein became very much in need of cash when he first sprung his faith on Wichita, find for $2,000 sold a half interest In the original townsite to General Hazen. General llazen is said to have afterwards trans ferred this interest by power of attorney. Mrs. Dewey within the last two years Bold two lots on Yv ichita street and still has one or more lots on that street in which her title is perfect. HOW BOERS TREAT NATIVES. A Methodist Missionary "Writes of Cruelty in the Transvaal Hays, April 13. The Rev. Mr. As new, a missionary for the Free Method ist church in South Africa for ten years writes that in the Transvaal negroes have no political rights, cannot engage in business for themselves and cannot hold property. If they walk on a side walk they are liable to a fine of $25 and to 15 lashes. Smuts, the present state's attorney of the Transvaal, publicly sta ted in the Volksraad that to beat a na tive to death was no dishonoring crime. Ju.t before the war a Boer was sen tenced to two years in prison for flog ging two native girls to death. In an other case where a native was kicked to death the 'landrost" remarked to the murderer that as it was a brutal affair the fine would be $230. Mr. Agnew con tinues: "At our magistrate's court in Bokes burg poor natives were sentenced un mercifully. Flogging was their daily portion. For the smallest offenses they were lashed for having no passes, lor visiting other compounds, for being out of their districts, etc. They came to us for medicine, with shoulders a mass of raw flesh. No such treatment as th Boers serve out to natives is allowed in any of the British South African colon ies. Mr. Agnew declares that almost every official, from President Kruger down, ia bribed by the various monopolies. Gen. Joubert, he declared, was the one hon est man in the government. He with stood the monopolies and favored a rea sonable franchise. t THE HEW MODEL SUPPLY STORE CALKIN'S ORCHESTRA, 7:30 to 10 O'Cloob, SATURDAY EVE. TRAIN LOAD OF STEEL. First Installment of the Huge Cement Building Arrives in Iola. Tola, April 1.1. Tt was over a week ago that the cement company received a telegram from the Kenyon iron works of Kenyon, Ohio, that the first ship nient of steel for their main building Juid been made, but the 'train did not reach Iola until yesterday. The steel is all worked up into trusses and beams and plates, and is a building complete, paving that it is not put together. When enough of the material is on the ground a gang of steel workers will come from the mill and put the pieces together, that being part of the con tract. This shipment is the beginning of a long procession of steel which will continue to come this way, nearly 200 oars being required to complete the building. "WELLINGTON BONDS. THINK THEY HAVE GOLD. Citizens of a Leavenworth County Neighborhood Discover Precious Metal. Leavenworth, April 13. Gold fever has broken out at Potter, north of this city and considerable excitement ex ists over a discovery of what many think, to be gold. The discovery was made on the farm of Thomas Highhill, about one half mil west of Potter. Recently some men who have had some experience in minm; were in the neighborhood and noticed what they took to be gold bearing ore. An investigation showed a large vein of. the mineral which if it proves to be the precious metal, is there in sufficient quantities to pay for mining. The men told the owner of the farm of their dis covery and specimens have been sent off for analysis. It has long been known that gold ex ists in this county but no one believes that It can be found in sufficient quau- tlties to justify mining. NOTORIOUS JOINTS. Close to Leavenworth Soldiers' Home T7ill Have to Close. Leavenworth, Kas., April 13. Suits have been filed in the district court against eight "Pike" joint keepers and a movement started to close them out. These "Pike" jointists are in close proximity to the Soldiers' home. Those named as defendants are John Cooney, Charles Wuerth, Herman Heese, Cornelius Kennedy, James. Bailey, John Knapp, George Sherman and T. Schlitzbaum. These joints are located on the "Pike" or penitentiary road, between Limit street, just outside the city and the turn leading to Mt. Muncie cemetery. The complaints charge them with maintaining a nuisance and with vio lating the state prohibitory law. They will be forced to quit the joint business as soon as possible, and before the ntxt quarterly payment of pensions to vet erans. Dry Goods Department. Easter Saturday Offerings.

Howard, Kas., April 13. Thomas Prentiss, aged 18. committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself through the head. No cause is known, except his poor health. He was a boy of good habits and high character. St Louis, April 13. Frank DeHass Robison appears more earnest than ever in his refusal to part with either Mc Graw or Robinson, his recent Baltimore purchases, or. for that matter, any ot the plavers who are deemed efficient by Tebeau. Ever since he startled the base ball world by purchasing the releases or Muesy" and "Wee Willie vviiDeri from the Brooklyn-Baltimere syndicate, it has been claimed on all sides that he merelv rjurchased that pair of baseball luminaries as an investment, and that ere the championship season was start ed both players would be found witn the New York club. Just as often as some writers have printed that McGraw and Robinson would surely go to Goth am, being turned over to Freedman by Robison for the price tne pair cost nun, hHs "Andv" stated that he didn't want either player, and that if they did play in the east, and not in sst. ioms, tne coming season, it would De witn some other club than the one run by him. He annears sincere in the matter, and the players that he has aaaea to ms ciuo of late would indicate conclusively that "Mugsy" and his avoirdupois partner me not wanted dv mm. anu tnai ins srreeation will struggle to keep out or the eight-hole without the aid of either man. At the recent gathering of the Di league magnates in New York, when the circuit was sliced and other import ant baseball doin s completed, tne players from the four clubs that were dropped Cleveland, .Baltimore, nasn ington and Louisville, witn tne excep tinn of the last named, of course, as Col." Dreyfuss had previously entered into a "combine with the Pittsburg or ficials for the pooling of issues as well as those that were not wanted by the clubs retained, were listed and auction ed off. McGraw and Robinson brought the top prices, and when De Haas Kob- ison landed the two experts surprise was expressed in every quarter of the baseball map. Mr. Robison also bid the highest for Dan McGinn, Billy Keister and Patsy Donovan and secured that trio for some $10,000 or $11,000. All the other clubs that wanted to strengthened but none to the financial extent of the St. Louis club. Among the players bought by Reach and. Rogers for their Philadelphia club was Jimmy Slagel, the little center fielder, who played with Washington last campaign, and who had but graduated the previous fall from the Kansas City club, of the Western league. Slagel was bid In for a few hundred dollars. After he had been added to the Quaker forces Freed- I man, of New York, set up a howl. He stated in emphatic terms that he want ed Slagel and that he had a prior claim to his services. Going back to the league meeting, it was found that when Earl Wagner's aggregation was put on the block Slagel was offered for sale to treedman along with the other former seators, the New Yorker being offered first choice. "Andy" bought Win Mer cer, the only player in the bunch he knew by reputation, and allowed Slagel to slide by without making a bid for him. When he read of Philadelphia picking the former Western leaguer and baseball critics said he was a promising player, Freedman exclaimed in loud terms that he wanted him and that it would be but fair that he (Sla gel) be turned over to him. Frank Rob ison, who is one of the few magnates who has been able to get along with the Gotham president, tried to intervene in his behalf and sent Reach and Rogers a telegram to the effect that it would be nice of them to let "Andy" have Sla gel, as he wanted him, and that it would keep peace in the league family. Reach and Rogers replied to Robison that they would do as he wished, but that they needed another player for their team and that they would turn Slagel over to Freedman provided that he would come to their rescue and let them have Wal lace. Then the peace overtures in the Slagel matter remained dormant and nothing else has been heard of it since, though Slagel remains with the Phillies and probably will continue to the re mainder of his baseball career. Yesterday Mr. Robison received a let ter from the Philadelphia officials ask ing him to set a price upon the release riled" him, and he immediately wired of McGraw or Wallace. The message the following answer: "Your letter April 9 just received. Can not sell you the release of either Mc Graw or Wallace for any price. My St. Louis public would drive me out of town if I did such a thing, and I would not blame them." Speaking further about the affair, at the Southern hotel last night, Mr. Robi son said: "Mr.Graw and Robinson will play in St. Louis or nowhere, and Wallace will remain with my club until he has out lived his usefulness. I wouldn't take twice the amount of money that Mc Graw and Robinson cost me for them. and as for Wallace, he is not for sale at any figure. Silver Sioux beat Fanny Orell, Charles beat Sioux.

"Breidenthal will be defeated if he is nominated and will take the whoie state ticket and the national ticket down with him." Mr. Lewelling was one of the original supporters of A. M.

Some poisons enter the blood from without, through, the skin by absorption or inoculation others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the rystem and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by a certain sore, ulcer, eruption or rnflammation acrjearin? on the skin. Everv blood disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance.

Office Bell 'Phone 1T7 Importers' Room Bell "Phone 577 It seems to be generally agreed upon that It is Roberts' move. If the foreigner pays the tax. who Is the foreigner in the case of Porto Rico and the United States? A colonial policy on the European plan will be inaugurated by the United States, May 1, in Port Rico. It Is Improbable that carpetbag rule In Porto Rico will prove any more sat isfactory than it did in the south. Any chances that Admiral Dewey may have had to secure the Democratic nom lnation were destroyed when he declared himself an admirer of Mr, Cleveland. Tt looks as though General Brabant's name would soon be enrolled with that long list of British officers who have been too venturesome with the frolic sortie Boers. The first attempt at a reduction of war taxes is to be made along the line of mortgages, deeds and various other legal documents. The common people are hot called upon to pay this tax once a year. Mr. McKinley s managers are pre dicting that he will be nominated by acclamation. So there is not to be any contest whatever. Xo wonder Phila delphia feels so reluctant about raising that $100,000. SHOULD WE PAY ENGLAND'S BILLS. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. (.aunt famine stalks through India. Nearly 5,000,000 persons are kept alive by public charity, and the worst is yet to come. American missionaries are calling on this country to save the starving. Lady Curzon, the Chicago wife of the British viceroy, has made a special appeal for aid to her native city. A local committee proposes to raise $50,000 in Chicago. Similar efforts are making elsewhere. The state of Kansas 19 relied on for 100 car loads of corn. Other states in the grain belt are expected to make similar contribu tions. The distress in India is undoubt edly very great. The famine promises to be the worst since British rule began What is our duty in the premises as Americans? England has spent fully $500,000,000 to subjugate the Hoera and expects to f-pend at least $ao0,000,000 more this year for the same purpose, but she has no millions to spare for India. The English people raise vast sums to care for the widows and orphans of men who have been sacrificed to exterminate republican institutions in South Africa, but their own wards are left to the rav ages of famine in Asia. England has plenty of means to pay for shooting freemen and crushing republics, but only a few thousand pounds to save the lives of English subjects in Hindcostan, England is one of the richest two na tions on the globe, but she is devoting her wealth to a land-grabbing cam palgn, and hence Americans are re quested to attend to her plain duties for her. Suppose we respond to the appeal find come to India s relief. Shall we not, by doing in India what England Fhould do, aid in assuring her the free hand In the Orange Free State and th Transvaal? Shall we not, by assuming England's duty toward India, indirect! help her in the subjugation of the Boer freemen? Is that an object to which any liberty-loving American cares to give his money? Should we help Eng land to husband her resources for the oppression of the Boers by paying her charity bills in India? These are as pects of the case which seem worthy of serious consideration. And we have our own India to look after. There Is starvation in Porto Rico a condition which unwise legis lation threatens to make permanent. "While there are only thousands in Porto Rico, as against millions in India, yet many of these thousands are dying. The Porto Iticans our own people, at our doors would seem as worthy of charitable attention as the distant and alien people of India. We have our own Boorioboola Gha in Porto Rico. Why neglect, our own and B.-ek another in India? Why should we shoulder England's Hindoo burden and aid her to save her strength to exter minate the Boers? Why not let Eng land's responsibility to India remain with England, where It belongs? If England prefers to spend her money in war on the Boers, rather than in the rescue of the starving in India, why should we spend our money to avert the shame of such a choice? Why should we pay any part of England's current bills? GLOBE SIOHT& tFrom the Atchison Globe. It is said that a recent bridegroom in Atcnison gets only $4 a week. If you don't intend to eat, it is a mis take to loaf around a restaurant. A young man Is flattered at a worn an'a Jealousy, but older and wiser men are scared. Somehow we can tell by looking at some women that their idea or some thing in high art is a crazy quilt. If a man passes himself off as poor he gets snubbed, and if he exaggerates his possessions, he rinds prices doubled up on him. Some of the women are complaining that the initiation fee of $5 to the Golf club is excessive. Make it $4.98, and they will decide it is very reasonable. Since every thing these days is mili tary, an Atchison woman called the neighbor woman who "sat up" with the body of her husband, a guard oi honor." LADY MEUX'S GENEROSITY. Has Sent Miss Yaw Abroad for Health and Voice Culture. London, April 13. Among those who benefited most usefully by the somewhat eccentric Lady Meux s generosity 18 Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, an American soprano who made a great success here. .Miss Yaw had to give up an en gagement, but the kindness of Lady Meux has sent her abroad to cultivate er voice and recruit her health. At the same time Lady Meux is pay ing all the expenses of Miss Yaw's mother coming from America to stay with her daughter. BRIEF TELEGRAMS. GAGE WILL TAKE THE MONEY. Washington, April 13. The cabinet meeting today was occupied largely in a discussion of Porto Rican affairs and articularly the Porto Rican bill, which was signed by the president yesterday. Secretary Gage has already taken steps to assume charge of the collec tion of the custom duties and soon an expert will be designated to go over the island and inspect the present sys tem with a view to making any changes either in methods or personnel that may seem necessary. COMPLETE FUSION IN OREGON. Portland, Ore., April 13. A complete fusion between the Democrats and Pop ulists of Oregon was accomplished to day. The report of the conference com mittees was submitted to the state con ventions last night but no action was taken until today when both conventions adopted the report. The distribution of otlices was as follows: Democrats Two presidential electors; justice of the supreme court; two con gressmen. Populists Two presidential electors and food and dairy commissioner. Washington. April 13. During the consideration of one of the pension bills in the house today Mr. Talbert (S. j.) whose course in insisting upon a Quorum forced day pension sessions sent to the clerks desk and had read some letters trom old soldiers in various parts of the country pro testing against the special acts "ground out by the congressional bureau." One of them said the old sol diers were very "sore." Mr. Talbert said the letters read were examples of hun dreds he had received. TRACY DIVORCED. Judge Hazen today granted a decree of divorce to H. B. Tracy from his wife, Gretta M. Tracy. The plaintiff is al owed the custody of the three oldest children and the defendant the custody of the youngest child.

To the Editor of the State Journal. A statement contained in the Capital this morning, that I opposed the re nomination of Charles Curtis, is a false hood. Mr. Curtis and I have been warm personal friends for years, and I have been proud of the position he has at tained. A short time ago, I called upon the editor of the Capital, and he assured me I would receive the friendly favor of his paper. A few days thereafter two gentlemen called me into a rear private room, and requested a secret promise that I would support J. R. Burton for United States senator, and no one else, and also sta ted that I would receive the active op position of the Capital if I refused. told them of my conversation with Gen. Hudson, but they onlv smiled, and sta ted they were not willing to argue the proposition, but simply stated facts. I declined to make any such promise aria stated to them that I was un pledged to any man for United States senator, and would not make any pledge to any one. I was in my office all day yesterday and the Capital did not give me an op portunity to deny the falsehood before they published it. A. K. WILSON. Topeka, Kan., April 13, 1900.

In its early stages catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the gen eral health, but sooner or later, the dis ease extends to the throat, bronchial tubes, and even to the stomach and in- j testioes. Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus. stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in hroat, causing coughing, sneezing,. gagging and frequent clearings of the throat and head. The usual treatment by local douches, nuf.'s, salves, etc., often gives tempo rary reliefi but anything like a cure can nly be obtained by a treatment which removts the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the in flammation from the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful in curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medi- me, as they are composed of such val uable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hy- drastin, Eucalyptoi, and similar cleans ing antiseptics, which cure by elimmat- ng from the blood and mucous sur faces the catarrhal poison. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter nally, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, in this way they reach the throat, fauces and the entire ali mentary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved n water and used as douche, in addi tion to the irtternal use, but it is not at all necessary to use a douche: a few of irvm dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is reui" ftoipage of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give im mediate relief, but the regular daily use internally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble, without re sorting to the inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bement states that "the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of douching, and local application" and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition, and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet. Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets at 50 cents for full sized packages. Ask your druggist, and if he is honest, he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, more efficient and convenient remedy on the market. COMING DRAMATIC EYENTS The first stage rehearsal for the pro duction of the opera "La Fiesta de San Xavier" will be conducted tonight. The opera will be put on Wednesday and Thursday nights of next week and the sale of seats opens Saturday morning, When the opera was first produced m San Diego, the San Francisco Chronicle printed the following as a part of special dispatch: "The performance was easily the most important amateur event in the musical history of this city for it demonstrated that there is justice in San Diego s claims to being a musi cal center, and brought favorably into public notice Owen Foster, a youn composer, whom San Diegans regard as the Reginald de Koven of the Paclhc Coast. Associated with Foster in the construction of the opera was Miss Grace Bowers, a daughter of ex-Congressman Bowers, who wrote the book. Almost a hundred took part in the af fair and San Diego society crowded the opera house. The play was received with a great deal of enthusiasm and the principals were given an ovation. Miss Bowers and Mr. Foster were called out before the curtain by the audience." Saturday night Mr. James O'Neill and his company will be seen in The Mus keteers" at the Grand Opera House. Sydney Grundy is the author pf this new adaption of Dumas' immortal story and with Beerbohm Tree and Jas. O'Neill respectively, in the role of D'Artagnan, this version held the boards for nine months in the two great metropolises of the world. It is not always that the theatrical taste is the same in London and New York, but the intrinsic merit of this play was so great, that no geo graphical condition could interfere with its prosperity. As a production, also, it is said to be the peer of any similar at traction on the road. Liebler Co., the managers, have absolutely spared no expense in making the scenic invest! ture as costly and artistic as good mon ey and good taste could do it. The company that put on"Quo Vadis' in this city Tuesday night will be re sponsible for a matinee and evenins performance Saturday. The prices at night will be 75. 50 and 25 cents, and in the afternoon 25 and 15 cents. SIXTEEN PAGES SATURDAY Owing to the continued great demand upon the advertising columns of the State Journal for Friday's and Satur day's issues, and in order to give our readers not only the full telegraph and other news Saturday but also to admi a number of features which are impos sible with eight pages, the State Journa will again be double the ordinary size tomorrow. BIG COTTON MILL. Capitalists to Start a $500,000 Factory in Chattanooga. Chattanooga, Tenn., April 13. A. S Hamilton, president and general mana ger of the Trion cotton factories at Tri on, Ga and Chattanooga, and eastern associates have decided to establish $500,000 cotton mill here.

This is ridiculous. The effort of anyone to claim a deed to Curtis' in terest is amusing. In a letter to a friend this week Mr. Curtis himself says of the candidates for county attorney: "The three candidates are friends of mine and I have not taken part, and do r.ot think it would be right for me to do so.

"I understand you are now looking toward Admiral Dewey as a substitute for J udge Van Wyck. I have good rea son for thinking Dewey is being boom ed by a clique of pro-trust Democrats.

Sloat Faasett Who Has Just Returned From There. New York. April 13. J. Sloat Faasett, who has iust returnee! from Corea, where he i3 interested In gold mining, says: "Korea seems a good way from here, and it is, but we can ship a ton of freieht frnm New York to our mines near the Yaloo river as cheaply as the same ton can be sent to the moun tains of Idaho, and just about as quick ly, too. We have been interested in mining for five years now on a conces sion covering 1.000 square miles. Our lease has 25 years to run. We have the right to mine any mineral, but we have confined our attention to gold alone. All of our machinery is of American manufacture, as this country makes the best mining machinery in the world. "Corea is picturesque, beautiful, fer tile, with an excellent climate and an industrious and agreeable peopie. At our mines we employ 75 white men and 3.000 cooiiea. Our venture has been and is an interesting experiment. We are the pioneers there, and we had to over come all the obstacles in a new and in most respects a wild country. There are many good fields in Corea. as the country possesses a continuation of the gold-bearing outcrops of Siberia and Manchuria, both of which are bound to be great gold producers. The Coreans have been mining with crude methods for many centures, and they are still at it. "Corea, like all the east by which indefinite term may be embraced most of the Asiatic seaboard. i sawaker.ing to new industrial and commercial life. There is an immense opening for enter prise and capital which will undoubted ly be supplied as soon as it is under stood that the United States govern ment will protect its citizens in all leg itimate foreign enterprises. The Orien tals are kindly disposed toward Ameri cans for many reasons, but chiefly be cause they recognize that Americans are not seeking political empire, and they feel that from them they can re ceive the most desirable assistance in industrial and commercial improve ment. The consuming capacity of these great populations in the Orient is not understood fully. Neither Is their abili ty to pay. We Americans take their breath away by our rapid methods, but Americans in the Orient are contract keepers and this is recognized by the Asiatics. Civilization has swept around the globe, moving westward till it has again reached its ancient seats, and it is now takitig hold of opportunities in the new old east with all the increased wisdom and experience of all its cen turies of progress. The enterprises which are now starting over there are bewildering. But it is hardly a poor man's country. The opportunity is fa vorable for associated capital in large amounts skilfully directed but not for individuals." CLEANS ENTERTAIN. Admiral and Mrs. Iewey and Mrs. Perry Belmont Present.

A large number of people have an idea that the principal work of the state board of agriculture is distributing free garden seeds, vaccine for the preventing- of black leg: in cattle, and serum for the cure or prevention of hog- cholera- The follow ing is a sample of the requests for free seeds received today from a man in Re public county: One packet turnip beet One packet mang-el. One packet sure-head cabba-a. One packet carrot. One packet sweet corn. One packet cucumber. One pneket muskmelon and watermelon. One packet onions. One packet parsnip.

Please send the best of everything mentioned here, and please send It by re turn mail or express, whichever you please. Express office here. Please send it to the right place, please. S'MTerary Cobum said: "It should be aid for the information of such people that the secretary f the Kansas board of agriculture has no more means of providing people with these com modities than he has lor furnishing them with pianos, oysters or poruus piasters. Those wanting free seeds for experimental purposes should write to their member of congress or to the secretary of agricul ture, Washington. r.

This morning the entire clan met in front of the postoffice and decid ed to hire wagons and a cook and start Saturday in time to escape the terrors of the coming election.

As he goes in the judges give mm tne oniciai oaiioi.

This can be easilv stopped if the judges will appoint one of their number to write his initials on the bacK or eacn oauoi De fore it is handed to the voter. They can Ihpn refuse in rjlfice anv ballot in the box unless It has the initials of the appmnted iudee properly written thereon. This is the la.w in tne irenerai election. 1Tr T. V.

The Hei'ald says: Following closely upon the withdrawal of Rev. Dr. Newel! Dwight Hillis from the Presbyterian church a movement for the revision of the Westminster confes sion of faith has taken shape, and the indications now are that avigorous fight for a new creed will be made at the meeting of the general assembly of the church in St. Louis next month. Ministers prominent in the denomina tion and who are usually classed among the conservatives have joined the pro gressive element and a" radical revision cf the articles of faith seems to be the only outcome of the agitation. The ques tion is separate and distinct from what is known as the "higher criticism" and has already overshadowed the contro versy started by Dr. Briggs and con tinued by Prof. McGiftert. Men who stand firm as to the inspiration of the Bible do not hesitate to condemn the doctrines contained in the confession of faith. P.ev. Dr. David Gfegg, pastor of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian church, Brooklyn, when he said: "The Presby terian church needs a new and simple creed," voiced the sentiments- of many clergymen and lay members of the church. The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, who. like Dr. Gregg, is a conservative, will discuss the demand ofr a revision of the creed at the Easter services in his church Sunday morning.. Dr. Parkhurst will refer mainly to articles on preordina tion, renunciation of which led to the retirement of Dr. Hillis. Dr. Parkhurst and. in fact, nearly every Presbyterian preacher in this city, shares Dr. Hillis' views so far as the doctrine of preor dination is concerned. I do not care to anticipate in any interview what I intend to say in my church," said Dr. Parkhurst yesterday. "The question of the revision of the con fession is one of great importance to this church. The time has now come for something to be said." According to Dr. Gregg, two-thirds of the Presbyterian ministers do not ac cept the confession of faith in its en tirety and one-third have forgotten the dogmas and teachings of their own creed. The doctrine of reprobation, which is chiefly condemned, is contained in chapter 3 of the Westminster confes sion and is entitled "God's Eternal De crees." The third decree Is as follows: "By the decree of God. for the manifes tation of His glory, some men and angel3 are predestined unto everlasting life and others are foreordained to ever lasting death." The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, former pastor of Dr. Gregg's church, says: "There are certain parts of the confession of faith which I do not be lieve in. I do not accept the doctrine of pretention, nor that referring to elect children. It is foolishness to suppose that babes are going to brimstone. But there is no need of going through the confession when members are being re ceived into the church. Rev. Dr. John F. Carson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church. Brooklyn, says: "There is an aggressive work now going on which shouljl not De siaetracK ed. I accept the confession as a sys tem, but I abhor some statements in it. The doctrine of reprobation is not scrip tural." Rev. Df. Joseph D. Burrell of Brook lyn, says: "There is no doubt that the majoritv of the members of the Presby terian church today desire a revision of the confession." folk Western express last night and even persons were injured. It is believed that threei of the persons will die. MAS HON A IS HELD. Proceed Will Not Be Permitted to Beyond Durban. Cape Town, April 13. The admiral In charge of the British fleet in these waters has refused to permit the Brit ish steamer Mashona, Captain Johnson, to proceed beyond Durban. The agents of the vessel announce that the cargo designed for Delagoa. Bay will be landed at Durban. The British gunboat Partridge, De cember 8, captured the Mashona, which had sailed from New York. November 3. via St. Vincent, November 16, for Delagoa Bay. laden with flour for the Transvaal. The vessel and the fool stuffs were subsequently released under bond and the prize court March 13 rendered a verdict that portions of the cargo were condemned but that the steamer was formally released. The Mashona arrived at Algoa Bay April 4, from Cape Town, and was to proceed for Durban and other points. Fred Felt Visits His Parents Fred K.

At a meeting of the Woman's club of Topeka Wednesday afternoon at the Ihome of Dr. Mary K. Stewart, it was de rided that the club should found a prison library. This matter has been tliscussed a great deal of late and there lias been some opposition to it on the part of the prison authorities. Mrs. Thorpe however is in favor of the move ment and thinks it will be of great benefit to the women and boys in. her fa re. The library is to be formed for the benefit of the boys especially and the literature will be chosen with that end in view; it is to be under Mrs. Thorpe's control and the books will be distributed as she sees tit. The books are being collected now and all who wish to con tribute may leave them at the home f Dr. Mary E. Stewart at 634 Harrison street. A few games are to be provided also as there are nearly always some small boys in the prison and Mrs. Thorpe pays she can exert more influence over them by interesting them in things of that kind than by "preaching at them, Notes and Personal Mention.

He Had Been Away From Home Six teen Years. Chicago, April 13. A special to the Tribune from Evansville, Ind., says: The banquet last night in honor of the ex-minister to China, Charles Denby, was the most notable occasion of its kind ever celebrated in this city. Mr. Denby has been absent from his home city sixteen years. John W. Foster, secretary of state in the Harrison ad ministration, presided. Colonel Denby's speech was notable in that he gave the American missionaries credit for the open door in China. He spoke of the new life in China, and said: "It is plain that we should not stand idly by and see hostile camps established in China under the plea of leaseholds if the lessees intend to make us pay greater duties than our treaties provide for. Russia might lease the whole of Man churia, England the Yangtse valley, Oermany central China and France the south, and deprive us of the most promising markets." In regard to the Philippines Mr. Denby said their disposition would be settled when the insurrection is suppressed. READING TO DISAPPEAR. OUT FOR BRYAN.

Mother bought it up on Kansas Ave. some place where they advertised one of those "great sales" we read about. I think ma got up in the middle of the night to go "early and avoid the rush," and th's is what she got one of the McCane. McCafferty McCo.'s "Little Captain" brand with the red ticket on the sleeve, made to retail for $4 and $3, but ma got it for $2. SS or $3.47, or some other penny ante price sure if I know what. You're a Chump, Scruggsy,- To believe that kind of plunder for "honest advertising." Tour suit is just like mine. Rub up against me here and see how alike they are and here in my pocket is the "Little Captain" ticket I took off the sleeve, and this is the price tag $2.75 that was on the suit no mark down no hurrah talk no make-believe pretentions about "less than wholesale prices" but plain J2.75 for everybody. See, Here, Freckles I This kid knows just where you bought that suit for $2.75; it was at the Imperial. Pa. he says them "Imperials" are just about his style, and he likes them because they don't rack their brains to stir up a big sensation about giving $5.00 suits for $3.4S or S2.95 when some other merchant is selling the same thing for $2.75 without danger of going to the poor farm. Pa Laughs Every Day At the way the Jaw Bone Mercantile Co. fellows retire (or tii am not sure which Pa did say) from the "special" benefactor bus iness. Pa say that it is fun to see competition run from the Im perial's MeCane-McCafferty prices like a scared jack rabbit.

Philadelphia, April 13. The steamer Brisgavia of the Hamburg-American line while passing down the Delaware river last night bound for Hamburg went aground near the lower end of Chester island. Tugs were sent to her aid and it is expected she will be floated at the next high tide after which an examina tion of her bottom will be made if she has sustained any serious damage. This is the second accident to the Brisgavia wTith!n a short time. Several weeks ago while going down the river she struck a sunken obstruction. Her bottoms were badly damaged and she returned to this city and was pki ed in the dry dock at League island navy yard. Repairs had just been completed and she had again started on her voyage when she went aground. About to Be Absorbed by the Penn sylvania and the B. O. New York, April 13. A special to the mDune trom Baltimore says: tjonrer ences held in this citv and Philadelphia in the last few days by high officials of the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore Ohio i and other railroad companies, have given rise to a report here, which has been par tially confirmed, of a big deal by which the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore Ohio companies are about to absorb the Philadelphia Reading, and the New Jersey Central. The plan is said to be for the Baltimore Ohio and the Pennsylvania to acquire the properties and divide them among their systems, the Baltimore Ohio tak ing the Philadelphia and Reading division, extending from Philadelphia to Bound brook, N. J., and one or two important branches and the New Jersey Central di vision, extending from Boundbrook to New York. The Pennsylvania would ac quire the remaining divisions. This scheme would give the Baltimore Ohio an unbroken line of its own from New York to St Bouis and Louisville by way of Cincinnati and would secure to the Pennsylvania absolute control of the anthracite coal tonnage of the Scranton, AVilkesbarre and Mauch Chunk districts of Pennsylvania, which are now domin ated by the New Jersey Central. The management of both the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania, have, for obvious reasons, kept the matter secret until their plans are fully matured. So far as is known, no actual offer fur the purchase of a controlling interest in the Philadelphia fe Reading and the Central of New Jersey has been made, but there has been, considerable buvinsr of the stocks of the companies by interests close to the management of the Baltimore Ohio and Pennsylvania. A man who is familiar with Baltimore Ohio affairs said tonight: Yithin a few months the Baltimore and Ohio will op erate its New York trains from Philadel phia over the Pennsylvania instead of the Reading as at present." Men in financial circles here say that, notwithstanding the reticence and even denials of Baltimore Ohio officials, the deal is assured and is in line with the movement of the Pennsylvania and Balti more and Ohio companies for the merg ing of their interests. A financier inter ested in recent railroad movements said tonight: "1 am certain that the big deal is pending and that the Baltimore Ohio company will oenelit largely it it is con summated. The Baltimore Ohio now lands its passengers in New York at the foot of Liberty street, which is not the most accessible part of th metropolis. A few months ago it established a ferry service to the foot of Whitehall street, where it also has passenger terminals. That station is close to the elevated rail roads, and will no doubt be made the leading station of the Baltimore Ohio in New York, when the deal is consum mated." President Bacon and Vice President Greene of the Baltimore Ohio South western have had a conference with the Baltimore Ohio officials regarding the transfer ot the Southwestern to the per manent control of the Baltimore Ohio. It is understood that all difficulties have now been removed and by the consolida tion the Baltimore Ohio will now have absolute control of its lines to Cincinnati and St. Louis. r n L.f?- Clothing, Shoes, Hats for Man and Boy 'ic .--f f.i t i-rv ,a HALL'S NARROW ESCAPE. Policeman's Life Saved by Santa Fe Engineer. Policeman Hall was struck and knock ed down and bruised by a switch engine in the yards of the Santa Fe early thia morning. The engine was stopped before the wheels struck the form of the prostrate officer. He was looking after some trampa who were stealing a ride on the east bound passenger. He was standing on the track with his back to the approach ing engine. Fortunately it was moving quite slowly and was brought to a standstill in the nick of time.
