C., Jan. 5.Congress man Chat les Curtis of Kansas was among the public men who called at the White House and discussed China's acceptance of the joint note of the powers. Mr. Curtis said it was a good begin ning for the new century. He hoped that the negotiations would now pro gress rapidly and end satisfactorily to all concerned. He believed that much of the future in many walks of life would depend on settling matters in China. so that there would be no repetition of the horrors of the closing year. "The west is glad," said Mr. Curti "tha,t the century ends with good pros pect of the settlement of the difficulties in China, and hopes the new century Will see speedy peace in the Philippines, with many years of prosperity for the United States." In the Indian appropriation bill pending- in Congress there are allowances of $123,000 for the Haskell school at Law rence. and $20,860 for the Kickapoo school.

"Jerry Simp son's state," "the grasshopper state," "t he sunflower state," "the cyclone state," "the Wild and wooly west," and such like expressions one always hears when he says he is from Kansas. IA-hy is it that the people of the east so often speak slightingly of Kansas? Her ay eage standing. before the 1,vorld is sec ond to no state. It gives a Kansan real pleasure to say to the critics of his state that it is the home of the famous Twentieth Kansas, and of Funston, the state that has raised the greatest wheat crop ever known, and, last and most im portant, that 27.87 of her population is in school.

Its Causes Discussed by Bishop Potter Before City Club. New York. Jan. 5.1-Bishop. Potter spoke on "The Causes of Our Present Municipal Degeneration," at a ililf-eting: of the City club last night. The bishop began his address by making a plea for tolerance. He said that conditions as they existed were largely the result of the complexities of 'human nature. He was not prepared to maintain. Ile said, that the police as a body were corrupt and said he believed that there were among them as many stien who had as pirations toward good and aims that were, commendable as among any other body of men of the same size. "But they are the creatures of a sys tem," said the bishop. "I did not come here to say pleasant things and.the sys tem exists largely because of your in difference and mine. The solution of the problem lies in individual activity and vigilance. I am sorry for one thing, my friends, and that is that, in spite of tbe approval with which my remarks made in St. Paul's chapel seemed to have met with at the time, they really fell abso lutely dead. What have any of you done along the line of personal vigilance in spite of your evident desire to bring about changed conditions? You will never get results until you get up the proper spirit of personal sacrifice and vigilance. "Nothing better was ever done by Mr. Roosevelt when he was police commis sioner than the nightly- tours he maue through the city watching the police and seeing that they performed their duty. It brought the men to a sense of feeling that they- were being watched. Every man charg-ed with duties ought to -have the same feeling-. How I would like to ask you inen here bow far any- ene of you has troubled himself to observe the discharge pf duty by th:- members of the police force. "A well known judge said to me sev eral days ago that the men of the police force are bound together by a kind cf loyally that makes it incumbent on eacri one to see- that hio brother gets out of trouble, no matter of what kind. "It is the duty, it seems, of every man of the 'brass buttoned' to help a 'pal. Do you recognize what a system that involves? It means that you must bring-wrong-doing home to the culprit in such a way that it will be impossible for this kind of loalty to be of avail and it is impossible to accomplish this without personal vigilance and. constant watehing. "I tell you, my brothers, that it does not make a, copper's difference whom you put in or whom you put out. l';,) one man can create a force loyal to duty unless behind that man or that com missioner there is the pressing force of public opinion whioh makes hint fe that his position would be intolerable unless he did what was right. Organi zation, soordination of forces, the,cs are the things that are most needed and it is along these lines that the victory must lie. "The element of indifference, however, is not the only one 'against which we have to contend. There is also that of cupidity, that greed and passion to get out of every office every passible emolu ment, and a powerfol organization at the top that allows this- to go on. "I suppose that it will be no surprise to you to learn that before the letter in regard to Herlihy and Cross, which I wrote was sent to, the mayor, I was ap proached by a great many people, emissaries representing all sorts of in terests, to know what sacrifice it would be necessary for them to make to sati ate my desire for revenge. I desire to disclaim here any fefling of that kind, or, in fact, any feeling arising out of the personal discourtesy shown ta one of my clergymen; tha,t was in itself a small matter. "The point lay in the spectacle of a person going to the men for protection who were supposed to be conservers of the laws and the peace of the com munity and being deliberately insulted. It was the spectacle of the police rang ing themselves on the side of crime and degradation against the decent element of the community, that was intolerable. "Among those who came to me was a man who said that he represented Mr. Croker. He asked me if I would be satisfied to drop the matter if Captain Herlihy and Inspector Cross were be headed. I told him that this was not a question of men. These men did but the bidding. of those above them, and those above them in their turn were the creatures of those still higher. "I told him that it was a system we were opposing, not a man or men, for he knew as well as you and I that the policeman does not hold his place through devotion to duty or honesty, but wholly and solely by the favor of those above hitn, who are responsible for the sYstern. "Some time ago I stated, and there were many criticisms ort my statement, that money was the robt -of all the evil, A condition of society where gain ex cuses .all doings must naturally affect the mechanism which runs a city such as this. There must be some hig-her aim. "There must be some loftier motives. -We must recognize in all who are worthy a striving for the right. The feeling must be fostered and nurtured. There must be personal sacrifice and vieilance, and when you can achieve that there comes the awakening of a 'great enthusiasm. The rest Will be an easy matter." IIIS MN NEES. How Senator Baker Gave Up the Fight. Refused to Throw Strength to Any One. There have been many stories circu lated about the way Senator Baker gave up the fight and the details of all of them have been wrong, al least this is the statement made to a Journal reporter in the Copeland this morning by one of the leaders of the Baker campaign. "In the morning after the managers had decided that Baker could not Win they bad a talk with him and told bim that it would be impossible to bring the contest to a successful finish. 'What shall we do?' they asked. 'What will you do abotit it?' Mr. Baker requested that he be left-alone for a time while he thought it over. The men all went out of the room and he lay down on the bed. In about an hour they came in again and suggested that he throw his streng-th to Johrston or Gleed. They also sugg-ested other names which are equally as prominent in the state. Baker again asked time to think it over and they ag-ain left him. -When they re turned and asked what he had decided to do he replied, 'I am going to get out of this. I am going to withdraw from the race. Burton can have it?, They begged that he would throw hisstrength to some one else, but he had a very bad case of the 'blue flunks' and refused to do a thing. 'If they want any of my supporters they can go after them,' he said. 'I am going home this -aftemoon.' "The managers tried in vain to brace him 1113 and put a. little gingpr in him. but it was a. hopeless task. He would turn his supporters to no one else and would talk of nothing but getting out of the fight. 'I have had enough of it and am going, home. You can do as you please,' was all they could get him to say. 'They finally gave the flatter up and Baker wrote his statement. which WnS published. After he had given up he told a. story of treachery and betrayal to his followers in Leavenworth. If he had turned his strength to either Johnston or Gleed there is little doubt that Burton would at least have been given a hard fight. For there was a. strong sentiment among the Men who filially led the rush to Burton that there should be a third man elected. "They are now accusing a, lot of men who vvere for Baker of bcing traitors. but they simply did what any man would do 'under the circumstances. They saw that Baker was getting weak in the knees and they got with the men who had the nerve to stay up when the fight came." The fact that Senator Baker's wife Is lying at the point of death In a Philadel phia hospital may have had something to do with his indecision and weakness. A Crisis About Due. Madrid, Jan. 5.-4t seems certain that a ministerial crisis will occur after the suspension of the sittings of the chambers.

CLRYCOMITYFEUD Republicans and Populists Man ifest Much Eitterness. Two Fusion Election Judges Are Arrested. BEJECTED BALLOTS Claimed Three Men Not Al lowed to Cast Their Tote. Populists Retaliate by Arrest ing Republicans. The fight over the last election is not over in Clay county, and things are warming up in a, truly interesting man ner. The vote was close, and although the Republicans WOrk the Populists are confident that their county attorney would have been elected on a fair ballot and count. There has been much talk of irregu larities and indefinite charges have been circulated concerning shady work on both sides. The ball was started rolling yesterday vehen the Republicans brought action against two of the judges of election. Joseph Babb, the Populist judge, and Lyman Martin, the Democratic judge, in the Wakefield precinct at the last elec tion, were arrested on warrants sworn out by Herman Avery, son of Post master Avery, of Wakefield. The charge against them is that theSe judges refused to give ballots to three voters in the precinct whom they claimed were not legal voters. The Re publicans are pushing the matter hard, and have employed Attorneys Coleman and IA-illiams to assist the county at torney in prosecuting the cases. The opposing. parties have employed counsel to defend them, and will put up as hard a fight as they can. The opposition will not only fight the case, but they are doing a little retali ating in the shape 'of arresting the Re publican judge, ex-Postmaster Gastor, whom they intend to prosecute on the charge of cutting the numbers off the ballots of the challenged voters so that they cannot possibly be identified in case of a contest. There is also talk of arresting W. H. Bradberry, who furnished a pass for one Sam Hayden, a. Populist. who is in the blind asylum at Kansas City. It is claimed that Bradberry furnished the pass on condition that Hayden would vote the straight Republican ticket, and he made Hayden pledge himself to that effect before the ticket was forthcom ing. Young Hayden told his family and others that he would like to have voted the Populist ticket, but that he wanted to come home, and that he had to vote the Republican ticket in order to get the pass. The papers in this case were made out some time in November, in Justice Noble's court, but were held up until too late to contest the attorney ship. If the township in which. the charges are made had been thrown out the Populist candidate, Alvin Gates, would have been elected by a majority of six. The cases promise to be the most in teresting ever held in the county, and if the fight continues there is no telling where it may end.. There is bound to be a great deal of bitterness result from the trials. BIG CROWD LOOKED FOR.

It is not believed there will be a repetition of the outrages and that the negro2s will be left alone in the future. The notice which the regulators post ed on the gate posts of the negroes homes reads: "We the whitecaps of Pa latka are notified to not let any negroes live in this place or on Harris Ridge." BECAUSE LEE WAS A REBEL

Why Col. Irifquain Wouldn't Appear in Receiving Line at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5.Col.Victor Irif quain of Governor Poynter's staff crea ted a. great sensation here at the inaug ural reception and ball given to Gove.-- nor Dietrich by refusing to appear in the receiving line or participate in any way because of the presence of Generit! Fitzhugh Lee, giving as his reason the fact that Gen. Lee had opposed the un ion flag during the civil war. Colonel Vifquain was colonel of the 91st Illinois during the civil war and served with great daring, being brevetted a briga dier general for conspicuous bravely ex hibited at Fort Fisher and receiving two medals from congress for similar acts on different OCCRSiOnS. Ile entered the Spanish-American war as lieutenant colonel. and it was very irksome to him to be compelled to serve under Gen. Lee in the 7th army corps at Jacksonville and later in Cuba.

Attacks the Game Unsuccessfully in Phcenix, Ariz., Houses. Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 5--George M. Pull man, son of the dead Pullman palace car manufacturer, has left Phoenix, much, the worse for wear and with his finances at a IOW ebb. He came here six weeks ago with his valet to recuperate. After a period of extravagant living he paint ed Phoenix in many colors. After he learned the g-ame he attempted to break the bankS in various gambling houses here. and departed for Los Angeles in a fit of disgust, and much enfeebled in health on account of riotous living. The other day he received a check for $300 for a Christmas present, which, it is said, he lost in one bet on one number of the roulette table, with a chance of winning $10,500 on a single run. Pull man made the rounds of the gambling houses with J. F. Harcourt of Philadel phia, who appeared to have unlimited resources. Harcourt was more lucky than his companion, and is said to have cleaned up $25,000 in two weeks. A "QUIET" ELECTION. S. B. Betts to Be Selected to Succeed H. C. Safford.

It is seldom that. speed pitchers lasta, fellow who comes into the league with an iron arm and cannon-ball speed soon feels the strain and takes tap change of pace. Mercer ot New York is a striking illustration of what I mean. But Nichols, strange aft4, has never developed a slow bail, used by every other pitcher ln the league. ',Nick has also depended solely on the overhand delivery, which is particularly hard on the shoulder muscles. Every ball he delivers to the batsman comes from above his shoulder. McGinnity of the Brooklyns, on the other hand, show ed this year how to save himself with the underhand delivery. The "Iron Man. set an example for the other twirlers in the league who want to preserve their salary wings as long' as p,ossible, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to find near ly every box. man using an underhand ball next season. Even Nichols may fall in line, too." GARRY HERRMANN'S DAM.

Business Is Steady With Good Mar ket For Produce. New York. jail. 5.R. G. Dun CO.'S eeklY Review of Trade says: In spite of the interruptions of the holidays and of the unusually hea,vy annual settlements in all tines of busi ness the new year opens with indica tions of further progress. There is no lack of contracts offered at steady prices in the country's leading industry and in some departments of cotton goods there is a better movement though speculation has de-pressed the price of the raw material. Otherwise a decline in wheat is the only noteworthy move ment Instanced. It is explained by a reduction 'in the flour output at Minneapolis, some mills shutting down while the foreign de mand at Atlantic seaboard cities is not brisk. The. ordinary measures of bust TIOSS continue to make gratifying ex hibits. No alteration has 3-et occurred in quotations of iron and steel products a.nd this industry is on such a firm foundation that most large concerns have maintained wag-es a-t the old scale, instead of making the reductions antici pated. Iron ore prices are also unchang-ed and no action is now expected tml11 Alarch, although EL lower rate WEIS looked for early in January. Coke is firmly held at Connellsville and there are fewer idle ovens, while the much discussed fall in prices seems confined to inferior quali ties at outside furnaces. Pig iron sells freely for delivery up to April, and there is no indication of weakness. All finished products are eagerly sought, many large contracts having ht-en placed for structural material and oth ers are under consideration. Art Amer ican company is the lowest bidder for the large bridge at Sydney harbor, Aus tralia. The purchase of seven hundred acres near Pittsburg by EL leading steel company indicates grea,t enlargement of its plant. Aside from one reduction of vvages at blast furnaces in the Mahon ing and Shenango valleys, the week's news is most encouraging- in this, the greatest of American industries. The market for textiles has been fea tureless as the holidays and stock tak ing redueed business to limited dimen sions. Wool has a,gain declined, making- the average of 100 quotations 19.28 cents. according to Coates Bros.' circu lar'. Sales at the three chief eastern markets amounted to only 3.121,0e0 pounds for the week and there is much uneasiness,over the statements of larg est stocks at the end of the year, while recent failures have not tended to im prove the tone. The cotton goods have not the same difficulties to contend with., but an ab normally high price for raw material acts as a. check on this industry. Local jobbing' and retail trade is brisk AVIMMINIMIMM

I i!Et7S1 O. R. T. Is Not Threatened With Early Dissolution. Has Organized Five New Divis ions Within a Month. THEY FACE EXPULSION Non-Strikers on Santa ,Fe to Face Charges. Pres. Dolphin's 11 hereabouts Located in St. Paul. St Louis, Jan. 5.--Speaking of a dis patch from Chicago in which it was de clared that troubles threatening the dis solution of the Order of flailway Teleg raphers have grown out of the Santa Fe strike, Chief Clerk L. A. Quick, who has charge of affairs at headquarters during the absence of President Dolphin and Grand Secretary Perham. said: "our order is about 24,000 strong and even. if 500 were dropped. as it is report ed they Will be, it would not make much difference. We have organized five di ViSiOnS in the last few weeks. Most of them are in the east. We are organizing one lodge right here In St. Louis. -If men baye refused to obey the strike order they vvill have charges to confront in their respeetive lodges, and if they are found guilty they will be expelled. We called off -the strike, it is true, but it was not a victory for the railroad. "On the contrary, the contest has only just begun. Nearly all our members at small stations are agents for the rail road as well. They sell tickets and route freight when they are not at the key. It will be a very easy matter to let ship pers and passengers know that the San ta Fe is unfriendly to the order. Wher ever there is a. competing line it is very easy for the agent to sell a ticket over the rival line and also to route freight that way. It will quickly bring the road to terms. I simply say this to show that our resources have not been ex hausted. Mr. Dolphin is in St. Paul at present." ABOUT "POP KELSEY."

Sketch of the Popular Driver of the Dodge City Switch Engine. 'Pop Keity' is sick, so he is laying off." reports the State Journal's corre spondent at Dodge City. The following sketch of Dodge's pic turesque railroad character is draWil a late Dodge City exchange: Everybody knows "Pop" Kelsey. That familiar title was given him because of his well known genial disposition and warm heartedness to old and young-, and poor and rich alike The memory of Pop Kelsey runneth back more than tvvo decades, and in the line of continuous service he is probably one of the oldest engineers In the employ of the Santa Fe railway. He runs the, day switch engine in these yards,and so nearly akin are engine and engineer that with al most human instinct the "trainmaker' Will pant and snort until its faithful driver loosens the throttle,. Even the whistle of the locomotive has an ea,r for music and several musical notes are formed into calls and answers. It speaks. as it were. Pop's engine read ily responds to his hand, and but once has an accident occurred to him. On this occa.sion Pop jumped from the en gine to avoid a collision and received in juries from which he never fbily recov ered, though he is hale and hearty for a man of 62 years. Pop Kelsey is a favorite with all classes of people, and though a widower the Nvarm impuls-e of youthful admira tion beats behind his jacket as tenderly as in years gone by. is especially a. favorite among the gentler sex, and to be an acquaintance of the venerable switch driver is esteemed a- high social privilege. Put the, charm of women has lost itself in the archives of Pop's hearthe is only a friend for geniality, good nature and respect. He is a house hold favorite, and the ba,be on its moth er's knee will lisp "Pop Kelsey" as sweetly a,nd as softly as the demure maid. The subject of our sketch was born In an obscure spot somewhere back in Ohio and at an early age he played hooky like the other boys. He has had all the diseases inciden.t to child and man life, and for this reason be is calculated to live beyond the allotted time of man. He has been vaccinated, inoculated and acclimated. It is no discredit to Pop to say that be rode into Dodge City on the blind bag gage twenty-five years ago. He was then looking for a. Job. He found it, and has ever since been regarded a-s one of the most highly respected employes on the road. Pop is no "brief candle" on "the way to dusty death": he is no "walking' shadowa poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage," but he "will die with the harnes,4 on his back." His "Alay of life is slowly falling' into the sear, the yellow leaf." COMPRESSED AIR sHur OFF.

Troubles That Came When This Labor Saver Was Idle. The breaking of the cross-head on the big compressed air machine at the San ta Fe shops, together with some other repairs necessary, caused a shut down of the compressed air plant. Yesterday the machine was out of service. but last night and today it did part of the work usually expected of it. A new cross head has been ordered by ',Aire and will be rushed from New York to Topeka by express. to be put in by lk londay. Compressed air has become. a vital factor in the operation of the shops. A few years ago its use was introduc.NI here through A. 11. Baird and it has since proven its value, not only in To peka shops but in shopwork generally over the country. It is considerable of a burden-bearer. doing much heavy lift ing. In somo places it is also used for tearing wornout boxcars to pieces. While the plant was out of operation hand hammers and other mechanical appliances had to he used again and the revolt) tion t ha t compressed air has brought about in shopwork was empha sized. The boilermakers found out how many troubles there really were on this earth before mcidern appliances were invented. The lamp inspector had to Ilse a pair of bellows to test his lamps. Flue-welders limbered up their good right arms more generously than for many a. day and various other workers found incooveniences as they were tfat yea,rs ago. SOMETHING IN IT.

Rumor That St. Paul Will Be Leased Will Not Down. Milwaukee. Jan. is learned through railroad and financial sources that canaot be questioned last evening, that there is nicire foundation for ti,e rumors of a lease cif the Chicago, Mil waukee St,Paul railroad to the North eru Pacific and iraa, NQrthertit tban the persons interested care to acknowledge. In this connection President Roswell Miller's qualifying statement, "No leabe has been made yet," is reg-arded as sig nificant PEEGEE'S NEW MANAGER.

Supt. Gray, Late of the Alton, Gets the Place. Springfield, In. 5.Willis E. Gray has been appointed general manager of the Kansas City Southern railway.. Willis E.. Gray retired as general super intendent of the Chicago Alton road on January 1. Tvir. J. A. Edson will retire as general manager of the, Kansas City Southern and Mr. Gray will succecd him. Both the Chicago Alton and the Kansas City Southern roads are now in cluded In the Harriman syndicate. Presi dent Stuart R. Knott of the Port Arthur line is a Harriman man, but Mr. Edson, is not. The latter was brought to Kan sas City by Colonel Fordyce. When Mr. Gray was succeeded on the Alton by J. IL Barrett is was currently rumored that he was not to disappear from the service of the liarrinaora syndicate. As he takes a position with the Kansas City Southern, this rumor has proven well founded GALVESTON INDISPENSABLE.

Hays Says Southern 'Pacific Will Com plete This Terminal. Loa Angeles, Cal., Jan. 5.--"Aly only policy wiil be to conduct the railroad on a hu.siness basis," said President Charles klays of the Southern Pacific, in an interview. "I shall endeavor to so direct matters as to be fair to all parties and communities. There may be some dif ference of opinion as to what is fair, but I will do my best. -My first duty is, of course. to the shareholders of the company, but I think the system can be operated in a busi ness way and yet be fair to the people. find everywhere a tendency to create differences of opinion between the rail road company and their patrons and sometimes there is no good reason for it. The Southern Pacific will endeavor to give to every point, ever3rthing to which it is entitled. The great terminal at Galveston will be completed as it is in dispensable." 1. CONTRACTORS AT WORK.

The handle is of glass, and bears an in scription of the "Katy Flyer." Bryan Snyder, g-eneral passenger ag-ent of the Frisco line, has sent out to the news papers a handsome holida,y souvenir in the shape of a gilded bell, inscribed "With compliments of the season."

SANTA FE LOCALS. Engine 53, one of the locomotives tha,t pulled the fast mail before it was con solidated with the California. limited, has been sent on for service on the mid dle division. Joseph Lightner, an old time employe of the Santa Fe at Emporia, and prom inent in the Republican politics of Lyon county, is in Topeka for a. few daYs Engineers Wellman and E. C. Webb have reported for work. Fireman Ed Rickabaugh is laying off. C. Sheffield, of the car sheds, was off yesterday on account of Illness in his family. FROM NEWTON. A new boist and steel derrick, the der rick being built in the Newton shops. has been erected over the wheel lathes in the machine shop, which greatly fa cilitates the work of putting- in and tak in,g out wheels. The big drive wheels can now be picked up and placed in po sition with the assistance of only two men, when formerly four or five were pressed into service. A Frisco official was in the city from Springfield, Mo.. to examine the Santa Fe electric lighting' apparatus. He was well pleased with the system in use here, and it is not at all unlikely that a ANEMIA The face alone is no sure index of health; but head ache and dizziness, no ambition, no forc:e, no endurance, short breath, palpitation of the heart little exertionthese with a pale face, are a clear indica tion of what is wrong.

The figures were taken from the mortal statistics published by the government and entirely agree with the archives kept at The Hartman Sani tarium. The map is made in four shades. The lightest shade shows the .tates which have the lowest per cent c.i. deaths due to catarrhal diseases. In these states very close to 42 per cent of all deaths in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases. That is to say, over four out of every ten. deaths were from catarrhal affections. In the states of next darker shade '-1-te per cent varies from 4'2 to 45. In e next darker shade, 45 to 48 per cent of the whole number of deaths resulted from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest shade we have indicated the states in which over 50 per cent, or one-half or more, of all the deaths were directly traceable to catarrh as the cause. This is an appalling state of affairs. This nation has got to confront the fact that catarrh has become a national curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the life of our people. Over one-half of the people suffer from some form or degree of catarrh. Fully thirty-five million people are personally interested In the discovery of a radical catarrh cure. Hon. Dan A. Grosvenor, of the well known Ohio family, in a letter written from Washington, D. C., says: "Allow me to, ex press my gratitude sts ern.-5, to you for the bene fit derived from one bottle of Peruna. n e w eek has 5.. brought wonderful cha,nges and I am

Attorney Simeon Armstrong, Suite 326, Reaper Block, Chicago, writes in regard to Peruna: "I was afflicted with catarrh for seven years. I tried many remedies without any profit. My catarrh was located mainly in the bead. I applied to several doctors but they were not able to cure me. "I learned of the medicine, Peruna, through a. medical pamphlet. I can warmly praise Peruna as a. certain rem edy. It has been three years since I was cured. and I consider my cure lasting. "I crave to express, for the benefit of the public, my experience with the re nowned catarrh medicine, Peruna.

"I take pleasure in recommending your great national catarrh cure,Peruna, as the best I have ever tried."--W. V. Sullivah. Catarrh is a systemic disease of cli matic and nervous origin. With Peruna the nerves become strong and the mu cous membranes are consequently strengthened, thus protecting the person from the bad effects of a changeable climate. This is why some people do not have catarrh. Hon. J. Courtney Hixson, ex-United I 0 ectitil' w.,- StatesConsul at Foo C h o w, China, of Washington, D.

MRS. ANNICTBOMP5ON OAS, LLTTZILS ABB PCBLISBED "I cannot say enough in regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It bas done me more good than all the doctors. I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the wonab and ovaries, and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work was not able to stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vege table Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it, but I did not then think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can truly say it does all that is claimed forit. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have int years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite. and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia, E. Pinkham's Veg.. etable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be with out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to my sex, for I know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured."

MUSH tiEllSi Lansing Citizens Object to the Water Furnished Them. Say the Article Sent Out to the Penitentiary is Filthy. FROM ALN OLD SLOUGH The Water Is Pumped, Insists One Itesident. Effort Being Made to Remedy the Evil Immediately. Leavenworth, Jan. 5.A communica tion has been received by Jacob Roden haus of this city, signed by Donald Mc Phail of Lansing. The letter is a com plaint against the quality of the water furnished the people of Lansing and the inmates of the penitentiary by the state of Kansas. In the letter he says that the water furnished is taken into the reservoir from a slough and not from running water. The slough is in the middle of a big sand bar and was caused by the high water last spring. When the river is high the sand bar is covered with water. but when it begins to go down the water remains in the low place on the bar, thus forming a sort of a. pond. A few years ago the engineers at the prison moved the suction pipes out on this bar. At the time,the change was made quite a large stream of water passed down the Kansas side but of late years the water has been getting less and less. until finally there is hardly any fresh water to be had on this side of the bar. The water that is in the slough has been there since the high water last spring. An effort is being made to have the pipes moved to the east side of the bar, where a dam can be built that will hold enough water to supply the town and the institution. In the con dition in whieh the water is now, it is nearly impossible to use it for drinking purposes. On several different oc casions the citizens of Lansing have had to have the water supply cut off, the water being too filthy for use. When the hydrants were not allowed to run for some time they ould give forth such an odor, that the people were afraid to use the water. The representatives of this county will probably be asked to Investigate the condition of the water and endeavor to have the pipes moved further east. It generally takes quite a. little time to move these pipes, as a pile driver will be required to drive new piles across the slough. The people of Lansing think that this should be done before the spring rise sets in. FORT SCOTT FLAX FACTORY. Doing a Rushing Business Now and Employing Twenty Men. Fort Scott, Jan. 5.---The flax factory is now employing' regularly an average of twenty men. Some days twenty-five are at work. It is just beginning to get well organized and the bales of flax tow are piled up fast in the store room. A ready market is being found for the product of this institution and Mr. Mar tin said today that it was hoped to run the factory the year round. Straw is coming in nicely. Seven wagon loads were delivered yesterda, by Bourbon county farmers. Besides this a car load was received by rail. The yard around the mill is tilled with straw stacks. The company pays from $2 to $3.25 per ton for this straw. Good straw will bring as much a,s fall hay. The scarcity of water became a, seri ous problem for a. while this season, the boiler having exhausted the water in the well dug for the supply, but a neigh boring well is now being drained.

Now Stated That She Wi 11 Not Seek a Divorce. Wichita, Jan. 5.It is reported here that Mrs. Mary E. Lease has abandon ed her suit for divorce. Neither Mr. Lease nor 'Mrs. Lease's lawyer will throw any light upon the subject, but a man in a position to know the facts ad mits that the divorce proceedings are off. During the week Mr. Lease received a very affectionate letter and presents from each of his children and he treated them very handsomely in return. It can be stated as a certainty that in the di vorce matter the children expressei some forcible opppsition to their moth er's purpose, especially Miss Louise Lease, the oldest daughter. Neither one of them, it appears, had even a hint that a divorce wa,s conternplated until they read it in the papers. They imme diately consulted. their mother, with the result that the proceedings w-hich were to have been commenced six weeks ago. are not yet filed. Mr. Lease has made no effort at all to discourage or prevent the divorcement.

Two Nen Arrested Alleged to Have Changed Fives to Tens. Kansas City, Jan. 5.T. R. McManus, of the United States secret service, re turned yesterday from a trip to Okla,- homa and Kansas, where he went to in vestigate the cases of Martin L. Ham mond and Lee S. Foultz, now in jail at Medicine Lodge, Kan., charged with raising government $5 bills to $1.Ds and passing them. Hammond and Foultz, whose homes are at Augusta, O. T., were arrested some time ago. It is alleged that they passed raised notes on merchants in Kiowa, Kan., and Augusta, and Ham mond is charged with having also pass ed some in Pond Creek, O. T. Mr, McManus says the work on the bills was very crudely done and should have fooled nobody. Two strangers drove into Kiowa late one afternoon and were about the town until dark. 'Then one of them went to the store of a. local merchant, bought a pair of socks and gave him a, raised bill. As it was dark, he had no chance to look at the money closely when he first received it, but af ter the stranger' left, taking hie change with him, he examined it by the lig-ht of a lamp and discovered that he had been duped. He went out and found the town mar shal. and Hammond and Foultz were arrested just as they were starting to leave a livery stable. and charged with having passed the money. A short time later another merchant reported that he also had been beaten in a similar way, and a comparison of the bills re ceived made clear that they were the work of the same persons. At present Hammond and Fon Its are being held by the state authorities. Mr. McManus says the proper procedure would have been to take them before the nearest United States commissioner. He does not think the state courts have jurisdiction in the matter. Hammond was formerly in the har ness business at Aug-usta and Foultz was employed with a railroad gang' which is 'working near Augusta. The former recently visited his father in Pond Creek. and it was at about this time that raised bills turned up there. Three of them were passed on Augusta. business men. UNDERTAKERS IN A TRUST

The stock, which has since been held by the socie ty, has now been purchased by George F. Baker, a, New York banker, and E. B. Gardner on behalf of themselves and others.

Senator Money Says a .N7ord For Volunteer Officers. 'Washington, Jan. 5.--When the senate convened today the resolutions offered yesterday by Mr. Pettigrew were con tinued until Monday. A bill extending the mining laws to saline lands was presented. It declares all unoccupied public 'ands containing salt springs or deposits to be subject to location and purchase under the mining- law. The senate proceeded to the considera tion of the army reorganization bill. Is.dr.

The amendment was adopted. When the reception of the bill was re ported providing for the appointment of volunteer officers to be officers in the regular army, an extended discussion, ensued. Mr. Money declared there were many officers in the volunteer army who were as clearly entitled, as gentlemen and officersto commissions in the regu lar army as the cadets, who by hazing and by their testimony before investi gating committees "are today disgracing' the whole country at West Point." The committee amendment providing that volunteer officers to be appointed to second lieutenancies were disagreed to, thus restoring the house provision that volunteer officers might be appointed to the grade of first lieutenant. DEATH TAKES HER. Prima Donna Soprano or Bos tonians Dies in Denver. The famous Bostoniana who sing "The 'Viceroy" at the Crawford tonight, had sad news to greet them, when they arrived in Topeka. this morning. Miss Belle Fremont, the prima. donna so prano, died at the Tremont hotel, in Denver, at 6 o'clock last night, of pneu monia. Miss Fremont was a favorite with the company, and the great oper atic family was deeply touched and pained to hear of her death. The deceased was Miss Belle Bartlett off the stage. She was a. niece of Jessie Bartlett Davis, likewise of Josephine Bartlett, wha is also singing with the Bostonians. Her father, Frank Bartlett, of Chicago, reached Denver at 6 o'clock this morning, after a hurried but fruit less journey to reach his daughter's bed side before death took her. Numerous expressions of syrnpthy and condolence were sent by members of the company from here to the bereaved rela,- dyes. Amoug them was the following d spate hi to her father, Mr. Prank Bartlett: "We beg to share your sorrow in your great bereavement. We shall miss her as a, friend and an artist. Accept for the family our sincerest sympathy. "BARNABEÐ MC DONALD." Miss Bartlett was touring for her first season. Jessie Bartlett Davis, her aunt, had looked after her education and she was starting on a promising career. She sang the part of "Beatrice" in "The Viceroy," Sind waa understudy for Miss Clark as "Yvonne" in "The Serenade," She v,-as about 22 years of age. -VV. H. Mc Donaid said: "Miss Bart lett wa9 a. great favorite with us, and gave promise of a, successful career. 'Yhe members of the company are all much grieved at her sad end. "We aIso left Miss Adele Rafter in a hospital in Denver, but we hear she Ls convalescing. There were half a dozen of the company ill with the grippe and bad colds in Denver." Miss Hilda Clark spoke in deep sym pathy of Miss Bartlett's death. "She was a clever girl," she said. Miss Clark suffered an accident in Denver. By a fall on the stage she severely sprained her knee. She has not since appeared until last night in St. Joseph. There is small prospect that she will sing to nig ht. "I may appear tonight; I do not know yet," she said. "Last night I could not move about very freely, and sang under great disadvantage." Miss Clark walks stiffly and with a decided limp. Miss Pierson, her alter nate, Will doubtless appear as "Tivo lint" in her stead tonight. illildred Rogers sings "Beatrice" and Kathryn Russell "Floretta," Misa Raft er's role. Manager Bacon saki Deriver was a most unlucky stop for the Bostonians, and from the trend of events it seems to have been so. EASTERN RAILROAD DEAL. .7. P.

The meeting- was preside(' over by Mr. J. R. Mc Nary, of North Topeka, who at the outset rnade a few remarks by way of opening. Prof. Parsons, of Wash burn college, v,-as to have delivered the opening address proper, but he was ab sent, and Mrs. Georgia Notestine, EL member of the Deg-ree of Honor from Hiawatha, took his place. She made a plea. for a stronger tie of brotherhood and sisterhood between members of the human family. "Let our goodness be come more sincere." was one sentence dwelt upon. She cited some instances of help which the Degree of Honor had given those in need.

Un der our form of government beneficiary orders have been a power for gooll and our order has led off in this direction." Then Mr. Foote gave several instances in which members of the A. O. U. NV. had helped one another in material ways. It was expected that John H. Crider, of Fort Scott. 'would be heard at some length. Mr. Crider has the reputation of making talks that are logical and con vincing along the line of work in ben eficiary societies. But the hour was late when be was called for, so he was able to make only a few remarks re garding the growth of the order.

S.For at least two months the secret service people have been at work te discover the makers of a large number of all silver counter feit coins, mostly qua,rters and halves, which were being freely circulated In New York city. Last night and today officials of the secret service of the treasury department, under Chief Wilkie's direction, arrested Pio Paris and seven companions, all Italians. The fact that large numbers of these all-silver counterfeits were being freely circulated in New York during the last two years bee given Chief Wilkie a great deal of trouble. The coins being of almost pure silver. 900 fine, and fairly well made, they rea,dily passed wherever presented and rendered extremely diffi cult the task of locating the makers and passers. The arrests came about in this way: Some time ago two Italians called on Messrs. Platt Co., of Gold street, New York, dealers In sheet silver and gold, and purchased a, thousand ounces of sheet silver. One of the men was ob served at the time of the purchase to compare one of the sheets with: a coin which he took from his pocket The circumstance was made known to the secret service officials. The men took only part of their purchase with them. After a time they again appeared a,nd took away another small quantity, to lid Mangin street, on the east side of New York. From there they were shadowed to 95 Watt street, On the west side. Detectives sha,dowed them, with the re sult that their lodging places were dis covered and the fact established beyond doubt that at both of these numbers work WELS being casried on. Yesterday morning one of the roomers in the Mangin street house became suspicious that the men on the floor below were doing some sort of crooked work, a,nd he at once notified a policeman on that beat of his suspicions, which fact came near rendering ineffective all the work that had been done. The policeman, not knowing that the authorities were watching the house, went to the door and pounded for ad mittance. He was not answered, how ever, and soon went away. One of the gang, who aad been watching from the. next street corner, a,t once went to the house, notified the gang of the suspicious circumstances, and a,11 precipitately fled to the Watt street place, carrying with them many of their dies. coins and blanke. The secret service officials, realizing the danger of further delay, immedi ately forced an entrance into both houses, where they found several of the meneight in allat work. Tbe Man gin street house, as well as the house on Watt street, was fully equipped with modern ma,chinery for rolling silver, Punching blanks, etc. In one of the places a screw press, weighing five tons, was in operation. About a- hundred ounces of silver and quite a large basket full of steel dies were secured. Many of the dies, however, had been so mu tilated as to be beyond use. It seemed that as soon as the policeman had given tbe alarm, the counterfeiters began to file away the fa,ces of their dies to pre vent them from being used as evidence. Chief Wilkie said today that this gang probably, was responsible for at least SO per cent. of all the silver coun terfeits which have been put in. circu lation in New York during the la,st two years. How to Take Cod Liver Olt Nearly everyoneknows that when they are thin there is no remedy in the world equal to cod liver oil to make them fleshy. 'Yet there is nothing against which they rebel more promptly. There were a gerat many ways recommended for making cod liver oil pleasant. Among these we would mention placing a pinch of salt in the mouth before and after taking the dose of oil. Syrup of bitter orange peel was also recom mended. But now all this is unneces sary. Science has found a wa,y of mak ing cod liver oil not only pleasant to take, but easy to digest. 3,Iessrs. Scott Bowne have brought this science to perfection in their Scott's Emulsion, which is cod liver oil free from disagree able odor, and taste, and already partly digested. Kingstand Bound Over.

Ex-Director of Census Says 300,000, 000 at Century's End. Washidgton, Jan. 5.----Taking all pre vious records as a. basis," said Robert Porter, the former director of the census, "the population of the United States at the cloee of this century ought to be at least 30).000.04,O, but no one can prophesy this with the hope that it wiil be approximately correct At the be ginning of the nineteenth century statis t icians of prominence estimated that the pepulation of the United States at this time would be le0,000,000. These predic tions were based on increase prior to that time. Tne naaural increment of a healthy country like England is 1142 per cent a year, or about 15 per cent a. de cade; by this is meant the augmenta tion by birth, giving- noi consideration to the e-roth by irrunigration. If we should inerease at the rate of el per cent a year by natural meane land continue along these lines for the next lea years the population. would be Ve0,000,eee, not counting the increase by immigration, but there is much in th. census statistics of ten years ago and the present to cast doubt upon the an tietpated heavy inerease. "In the la,reer cities of the country, fer instance. the tendency is apparently to small families. In some of the large cities the size of the fa-milies has de creased IT'0111 five to four children. Sup pase that in the next 31). 40, or 50 years the decrease in the number of children te the fanuly is from four to three, the effect would be great. Then later, if the decrease should be to, two children, as is tiie tendency in France, the increment in population NV0111,1 almest stop. -There is no doubt that as the popu lation of the country increases the fight f ,r life becomes more bitter and serious. 3n Prance. as is well known, the popu lation is' at a standstill. In the course cif a few years the young people of this c-,untry rnight conclude, by reason of a desire to evade too much responsibility in family affairs, that they will not rearry until they are several years older than the averege period of marriag-e row. A wait of one year would make a. difference of 1,000,000 children alone in a itiecade. Suspensiort Made Permanent Manila.

FISICE I r r I L 114 Famous American Actress Por trays "Becky' Sharp." An Excellent Production Found., ed on Thackeray's Book. AUDIENCE WAS LARGE. There Were a Few 'Vacant Seats However. "The Christian" Given at the Grand With Good Effect. It is many years since Minnie Mad dern visited Topeka but there are people in the city who still cherish pleasant memories of her. She ca,me back last night -with Fiske aild,4(1 to her name lin ,-1 renewed the old associations. Though soe married and gave up the theatrical profession since the old days when she came to Topeka. her return to the stage and her reappearance in the west re newed the old time memories and caused people to wish that there were more actresses like Airs. Fiske. Mrs. Eiske's delineation of Becky Sharp is a revelation. one forgets that it is not the real Becky and follows the course of Thackerav's adventuress with all the interest that could attach to a. character whose mind is a. storehouse of cunning and deeeit. What would BeckY Sharp be without Mrs. FiskeTa dreary a,nd comfortless waste of words. How an actress might literally slaughter Becky Sharp! In the third act when ilawdon Crawley discovers his wife's .duplicity and tears the jewels from her neck and arms she realizes that she has lost. Her social position is gone and her husband has left her. Most actresses W011131 have stalked about the stage wringing their hands and shouting in frenzy. NVhat did Airs. Fiske do? She simply sat down on the floor in careless abandon and exclaimed: "I am done for." It was the natural thing to do, of course, for a woman of Becky Sharp's temperament, but who would have thought of it unless he had seen the character portrayed by such an actress as Mrs. Fiske? Thni scene was preced ed by her soliloquy which was a perfect and interesting self castigation. There was never a lapse from the nervous but calm and unexcitable Becky. "Whether moving among the most exclusive set in English society ot in her cheap lodgings she was the same, aggravatingly fascinating' and provok ingly self possessed. Once it appeared that Mrs. Fiske had forgotten herself. When Frank Gilmore as Rawdon Craw lev her husband, kissed her full in the mouth she follow-ed it immediately by wiping her lips with her handkerchief, 1 ..00".777.--..''

FISKE but after all that is probably what the real Becky would have done. Her little song to her own accompaniment on the old fashioned dulcimer revealed the fact that Airs. Fiske can sing. The company was perfect. There were no weak spots in the big cast. The scenery was prepared with all the care possible and the costumes closely fol lowed the period of Thackeray. The Crawford v,as not crowdedthere were several vacant rows at the back of the house. A report was started early in the week by some one that Mrs Fiske would not be in Topeka but that an un derstudy would play her part and this probably had something to do with the fact that the house was not packed Then there was that S2 scheduleit un doubtedly kept others away Topeka seldom has an opportunity to see one of the foremost American act resses and this fact should be appreci-ated-THE CHRISTIAN. "The Christian" made its first appear ance in Topeka. last night when it was produced at the Grand by ',deb ler Co. Not a. crowded house greeted the com pany, to be sure, but a large crowd attended. A part of the audience was made up of people who had perhaps never entered a theater before, and old theater-goers who had no other interest than a. curiosity to see the play which drew crowded houses irz all the larger eastern cities. "The Christian" is one of the strongest plays presented in Topeka. this year,and tbe appreciation of the acting by the members of the company who made the various scenes so realistic was evi denced by the unfettered flow of scald ing tears on the part of the gentler sex, and also some of the more sympathetic of the men. Lionel Adams aa "John Storm" achieved a, remarkable triumph. The pla,y gives quickly and brilliantly the events of a long period during which all action of the chief episode takes place. The prologue is devoted to the explanation of the plot and the tedious task- of introducing and revealing the characters and to some extent unfolding their schemes. A scene of rare beauty is revealed in the prologue, where John Storm, a young man, rich and indolent, whiles away the hours boa,t riding and "Alay ing" with Glory Quayle, a beautiful but uneduca-ted daughter of a. village preacher. Suddenly 3-oung Storm elects to quit his idle life, become a priest, and work in London slums. Glory. too, about the same period, grows weary of the humdrum existence of her sPa bc,und home, and decides to enter the life of a. music hall singer in London. The resolves of each are carried out, and each become famous in their chosen paths, but Glory finally succumbs to tbe stronger vvill of Storm and unites her life with his. After the preliminary everything was smooth sailing, and climax followed climax, applause succeeded applause, and with four curtain recalls in the third act, where Glory and John gave an especial bit of fine acting. It was evi dent that the word dramatization was not a misnomer. Alias Julia Stuart. pla,ying the part of 4.--,---,-.:A','"'-:--- --.14, c- .,l't"'..".:,-,---4"

New York, Jan. 5.--The -Metropolitan Street Railway company will appeal to the appella-te division of the supreme court from the decision of Justice Bis choff invalidating its franchise on Lex ington avenue, from Forty-second street north.

The famous midnight closing ordinance has been en tirely ignored for two nights. Alderman Maypole. a friend of Mayor Harrison, introduced an ordinance in the council last night repealing. the midnight closing ordinance. He said he repre sented 7,000 printers and other night workers, who demanded open saloons. Mayor Harrison says he has not changed his closing nolicy. "I am going after the private dining rooms now," Said he. "Such places do more harm than all- the saloons in the city of Chicago. They should not be al lowed to exist. As long as we are in the reform business we should turn our attention to the grea,test of all the evils. "Saloons and basement dives do not ruin women. No decent girl would dream of entering such places. It is the private dining room in the fashionable restaurant where the first wrong step is taken." POULTRY SHOW NEXT WEEK

Liverpool cables 'were not responsive to the advance here yesterday. Local receipts were 65 cars, one of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 310 cars, against 191 cars last week and 450 cars EL year ago. There was little for sale on the decline and the market rallied.

Chicago, Jan. 5.WHE'AT--.Wheat has developed a broad and active market. in a-hich everything eise has been sub ordinated by the bullish sentiment now grown rampant and pronounced. The blackboard postings of cables, receipts and shipments or other routine news Hre of no purpose except as they feed the bullish fever. The trade is broadening. daily, but as yet it is a professional and private wire house market, the general scattering trade not having yet recovered from the shock of an advancing wheat market. There are indications of power ful interests in the market, but the only concentration among them is thevir adher ence to the buying side. On the sharp upturns there has been fair realizing, only to lead to determined support 'on the healthy declines. There 11,1ve been eeie tions sufticiently sharp to keep the to, pr., mid builders out of the 'market. and the dips have been deceptive einiiigit to coax some short selling'. The mitieeatiie fea ture is the ease with whii the tnq.rket advances. eseh firm snot bringing' le the scalping shorts who 'have licen Itsppcd. into selling' on the breaks.

CORNCorn is slowly developing strength, and while the Incentive for its advance has been largely refiected from wheat, the position of the coarser ceteill is strong. here is a large short intorest in May corn.

Of Course Scheme to Do Away With Them Is a Joke. Ferator Pestana has created a great deal amusement ELMOMC the tnem bets of the upper house with his talk of the hill he proposes to introduce do ing hway with the cierks which eaChl senator is allowed under the present law. kle says that the bid is in the In terest of economy and that it should passed s,,Icly on that ground. The other senators are inclined to laugh at the bill and not one of them has said that he would favor it Some of them go so far as to say that the ob ject of tile hill is not so much economy as it is to make a name for Pestana as a money saver for the state. They say that he wants to make a reputation for eeiihomy in order that it may further his chanees for congress, a. position he has attempted to land several times and one that he still is anxious to obtain. "When the bill is introduced there wiii not be more than throe votes for it, if there are that many," said one of the senators in the state bouse today, DENIEltellANGE OF VENUE.,
