Business and Pleasure Snspend ed Throughout England. London, Jan. 23 The king-emperor entered his capital at 1:53 p. m. and I roeeeded to Marlborough house. At the meeting of the privy council the king took the title of Edward VII. The king correct title is Edward VII of England and Emperor of India. After attending: the first privy council at St. James palace at 2 p. m., his majesty proceeded to the house of lords for the meeting of parliament. London has donned a garb of mourn ing from end to end and an early hour found a thick fug enveloping the city io, t-, no r i r-iert t iif i 1 I tne funeral apparel of every one. i urougtwut the west hna arawn ounn are the order of the day. while on all the embassies, government office and public buildings, the flags are half masted. The law courts, the stock ex- harge and all the produce and metal exchanges throughout the country only assemble to close immediately after the presiding officers had addressed to the members a few words of tribute to the dead monarch. There were exceptionally large con greeatior.s in the churches in all parts of the country. At St. Paul's Cathedral the prayers fur the royal family were altered to read: "For cur sovereign lord, the king and queen consort." All the services were ended by the playing of the dead march. The various naval and military stations tired a salute of eighty-one guns at mid-day to signalize the death of the queen, one gun for each completed year of the queen's age. The public buildings are being draped with b;a k. tiie stores are displaying many signs ot mourning and business is practically at a standstill. Dense crowd beginning at St. Janvs street lined the entire route to Victoria station, from an early hour. The Mail and the front of Buckingham Palace were especially thronged. AH along the f'imer. from the palace to Marlborough House, carriages niied with ladies stood as if for a drawing room, except that the coachmen, footmen and occupants were all .dressed in mourning. The po lice precautions were unusual. Men on a"nd mounted, guarded almost every yard of the way. The king iirnvo to St. James palace from Marlborough house, to preside at the first privy council, by way of Marl borough house yard, the Mail and the garden entrance of th palace. He was attended by Lord Suriieid, and was es corted by a captain's escort of the hurs' guards The procedure was exactly as on levee days. By the time the king arrived a great gathering of privy councilor?, in levee dies with crepe on their left arms, had taken up position in the throne room cabinet ministers. peers, commoners, bishops. Judges, the lord niavor etc in cluding the Puke of York, the Duke of Connaught and lesser members of the royat iamny. THE FORMAL OATH. Lord Salisbury, Lord Roseberv, A J. Balfcur. the Duke of Devonshire' Lord Stratheona and Mount Roval, 'and a host of the most prominent personages in the land were there to receive the king's formal oath, binding him to gov ern the kingdom according to its laws and customs, and hear him assume th title cf King Edward VII of ;reat Brit ain and Ireland and Emperor of India The ceremony was interesting and ac cording to precedent. The king was in a separate apartment from th privv counciiors. To the latter the Duke ,,'f Devonshire, lord president i f the council formally communicated the death of Queen Victoria and the suc-ession to th throne of her son, the Prince of Wales The royal dukes with certain lorfs ,-.f the council were then directed to rep-air to the king's pres-noe to acquaint him with the terms of the lord presi dent's statement.

At 4:30 p. m. the artillery began firing lutes in St. Jair.ws' park to signalize King Edward's accession to the throne" Among tne incidents of the dav was l"n imposing civic procession. The lord mayor and eidermen. accompanied by the city mtshnl. rnace bearer, and othe istmbers cf the corporation, escorted by a strong body of police, proceeded from the Mansion house by way of the Thames embankment and Trafalgar square to St. James palace in gilded equipages with liveried outriders, in cluding twenty semi-state carriages, making a notable picture, which was witnessed by thousands, of silent people who filled the sidewalks along the en tire route. WAITING TO GHEET THE KING. The crow ds w aited patiently for hour3 to greet their king. Finaiiy preceded by half a dozen mounted policemen the new k sovereign arrived in a plan brougham which waa driven very rapidly, with the coachman and footman in their usual gray liveries with mourning bands on their arms. An enuerry was seated beside him. The king, was of course, dressed in the deep est and most simple mourning, and carefully raised his hat in acknowledg ment of the silent uncovering of heads, which was more impressive than the most enthusiastic cheers. The king look ed tired and very sad, but very well. Follow ing him came the Duke of York, the Duke of Connaught and others. Both the king and the Duke of York, looked pathetically up at Buckingham Palace, as they passed, and acknowledged the salute of the guard of honor drawn up inside the palace grounds. The troops thee and elsewhere showed no signs of mourning, except that the bands were not present, but all the officers had crepe on their left sleeves. LAST GLIMPSE OP THEIR QUEEN. Cowes. Jan. 23. The king and other members of the royal family will not return to Osborre until tomorrow. The officers of all the royal yachts, the servants and tenantry had a last glimpse of the remains of the queen this afternoon. It is thought now improbable that the body will be removed before Friday. A service will be held tomorrow fop the royal family and the household in the chapel at Osborne. Emperor William nas ordered in Lon don two magnificent wreaths with broad ribbons bearing the initials of himself and the empress, which he personally wi p!ace on the queen.3 coffin at to morrow s service. By a special request of the family the authorities of St. Paul Cathedral have sent to Osborne the six candelabra used at the funeral of the Duke of Welling ton. SYMPATHY PERSONALLY EX PRESSED. Vienna, Jan. 2,1. Emperor Francis Joseph went to the British embassy this morning and personally expressed his sympathy to Lord and Lady Plunkett. He remained there half an hour. The Duke of Cumberland called at the em bassy and many of the nobility and court dignitaries inscribed their names. GRIEF IN INDIA. Bombay. Jan. 23. All public functions here have been cancelled. The public of fices has been closed and business is suspended. The genuine sorrow of the. natives is extraordinarily marked, even the poorest and most ignorant express ing the utmost regret and profound sor row. It is a remarkable revelation of sincere loyalty. Special services have been arranged to take place in the "na tive places of worship. FOUR WEEKS MOURNING.. Berlin. Jan. 23. The court has been ordered to go into mourning for four weeks. The empress has arived at Hom burg and proceeded to the royal castle, in order to be near the Dowager Em press Frederick. WILL ATTEND THE FUNERAL. Lisbon. Jan. 23. King Charles intends to attend the funeral of Queen Victoria personally. Court mourning for a month has been ordered. The papers are filled with eulogistic articles on Victoria and her reign. HAD PROPERTY IN NEW YORK. New York. Jan. 21. Queen Victoria was the owner in fee simple of much real estate in this city below Grand street. At one time she owned the Bowl ing Green offices. No. 11, Broadway. NO LYING IN STATE. Cowes, Jan. 23. Unless the king oth erwise directs, it is probable that (he queen's body will be taken on board the royal yacht Alberta tomorrow for con veyance to Windsor. In the meantime the dining room at Osborne House has been transformed into a mortuary chap el. The body has been removed frrm the bedroom and lies there at present. The servants will be admitted to view the remains. There will be however, nothing In the nature of lying in state here, nor so lar as known at Cowes. will there be ary pubpc lving in state at Windsor. A guard of royal reservists is watching the body. The arrangement for the obsequies will be made at the privv council, after a consultation with the king. Orders have been sent to Wfndsor to prepare the apartments for roval arriv als. WOULDN'T LOWER FLAG. VanWyck Says New York Takes No Notice of Death of Monarchy New- York. Jan. 23. While many flags throughout the city were lowered to half mast out of respect for Queen Victoria's memory, that on the city hall was not. V, hen asked w hy no official notice had been taken of her death. Slavor Van Vt yck is reported to have replied: I know that the flag has not been lowered. This city takes no notice of the death of foreign monarchs." Corporation Counsel Whalen said that he knew of no ordinance prohibiting the mayor from showing official respect to foreign nations upon the death of their rulers. THE DUTCH VIEW.

The Hinrielshlad says?

Tne queen dies profoundly regretted by her people, whose great love and resnect sne merited, but the end of her reign was stigmatized by the most unjust war of the century. Victoria, fulfilling In the best manner her duty, twice pre vented the war, but as an octogenarian she no longer had her former power and will, and the republics were forced into a war which has deprived England of all moral prestige. The monetary markets of the world instinctively feel that the ministers of King Edward can not count on the patience of Emperor William and the czar, who avoided everything which might render the queen's la-.-t days unhappy.

ISSUE OF THE PAST. Says It Was Conservation of Property Against Spoliation. Cautions Republican Legisla ture to Be Careful. Mrs. Burton Present to Share Her Husband's Honors. The consummation of the crowning ambition of J. R. Burton was made a spectacle and the formal declaration by the legislature in joint session that he is elected United States senator was the occasion that furnished it. The final touch was put on at noon today. Representative hall was the scene and the actors in it were many. An hour before the sun reached the meridian. spectators began arriving. The hous5 took a recess a few, minutes after 11 o'clock to give the sergeant-at-arms time to make preparations. The crowd started to come early and kept coming. People poured in so fa that Captain Stover's assistants could not bring in the chairs ana get tnt-rn placed fast enough. There was a visitor ready to take each chair as fast as it was put down. And the chairs that were called Into plav were arm chairs, office chairs, fold ing chairs, cane seats, lame, halt and decrepit, new. old, painted and, with paint worn off. The offices in the state house were all closed in order to give officials, clerks and employes an opportunity to look on. Many offices were scoured for chairs to seat the throng and the percentage cf state house furniture of this particular kind that was collected in representa tive hall was amazing. Rows of chairs ten deep filled up the open spaces on either side of the speak er's desk. These seats were given over in the main to the ladies, their pleased laces, flashing rihbons. nodding hnt plumes and bright dresses gave these corners a most almated and interesting appearance. Mrs. J. R. Burton was. as yesterday, the center of interest. She came earlv, with Governor and Mrs. W. E. StanDy, and took her seat in the southwest cor ner surrounded by many happy friends. The floor of the house was greatly conjested. Standing room was at a premium, some ladies even being unable to secuw a seat. There was a striking, contrast in the separation of the sexes Four deep were the rows of men in the rear aisle and on either side the strong faces and sturdy shoulders of the male persuasion were seen. Like a bouquet in either corner the ladies were grouped, supporting the speaker's desk. The west gallery over the speaker's desk was filled, femininity predominating while the east gallery held 2M men, but showed many empty spots. Promptly at VI o'clock the swinging doors of the main floor entrance were thrown back and Sergeant-at-arms Sto ver announced "Mr. Speakar. the president and mem bers of the senate." Then Lieutenant Governor Richter was escorted by him up the aisle and to the speaker's chair. Beside the house clock, and the speaker's chair wa3 draped the handsome silk department flag of the G. A. R. The joint session was duly canvassed by roll call. Chief Clerk Charles Shel don, of the senate, read the record of the senatorial vote taken yesterday. Senator Householder rose on the left to make a correction. The clerk had read that the election was held in ac cordance with the laws of the state of Kansas. Senator Householder made the correction that it was in accordance with a general governmental law. Tee correction was noted. Reading Clerk Richey read the house proceedings o.i the same line. Thereupon Lieutenant Governor Rich ter announced the election of J. R. Bur ton as United tSates senator, his term to begin March 4, 1001. A hearty round of applause ensued and then he ap pointed Senator Carpenter. Represen tatives Emil Grosser of Dickinson, and H. F. Giessler of Logan, an escort com mittee to bring in Mr. Burton. When Mr. Burton appeared In the en trance leaning on the arm of Senator Carpenter a volley of ihand-clapping burst forth. At the left of the head of the aisle the line had to be broken to allow the new senator to reach the speaker's platform. There was complete silence as Lieutenant Governor Richter announced: "Gentlemen of the joint assembly: Our United States Senator Joseph R. Burton." Another burst of applause followed before Mr. Burton began speaking. He started in a low even tone, with a dilated look and evidence of feeling which wore away as he proceeded and his oratorical command asserted itself. Mr. Burton said: "Gentlemen of the Legislature: In ac cepting this high honor I pledge you the devotion of my best ability to the discharge of the duties of the office. Allow me to commend the action of the Republicans in naming a candidate in caucus, and the action of the opposition in doing likewise. You have more re spect for one another in thus voting for your principles. Fusion is corrupt ing. Partisan politics is the better poli ties. No great reform in politics has ever been enacted In this country but through the agency of party. "Among my telegrams of congratula tion is one from a personal friend, of opposite political faith, a man who last week was elected from a western state. The closing words of the telegram were: 'We will have our say for the west.' In the light of the last two national campaigns, these words have a special significance. While I shall never for get that I am a senator from Kansas and that Kansas is a part of the west, I shall always believe that the interest of my state is indissolubly linked with the general welfare of my country. That national policy or that national ieeisla tion which inures to the benefit of one state helps every other state, and what is injurious to the one is injurious to all. So deeply rooted in me is the sentiment of nationality, that I believe every measure coming before congress should be considered and decided from the high plane of the general welfare. Local questions should be solved by local leg islatures. You gentlemen are here legis lating alone for Kansas; you send me to Washington to help make laws for the whole country. Sectionalism, when ap plied to local affairs, is right, but sec tionalism carried into national legisla tion is wrong. It should never be al lowed to lift his head in the national congress. If then I have my say for Kansas and the west, my words must have a meaning broad enough to cover all the land. "With the silver question settled and with the wild vagaries respecting eco nomics and finance fading fast away, and the idea of changing the republic to an empire transformed into a well night forgotten campaign pleasantry, one of the foremost questions for solu tion is the extension cf our foreign commerce. This is not the. time, nor here the place, to discuss this question, but surely it is not improper to say that since by wise laws we have gained con trol of our domestic commerce we will press on toward the establishment of our supremacy on the sea. Some there are who fear that this aggressive spirit of commercialism will make commerce of our politics. Mr. Bryan has said that 'the Republican party has exalted the dollar above the man." Bishop Potter has recently called us 'a dollar-ridden people.' The most eloquent of all the op posing orators In the last campaign, Bourke Cockran. declared that the American people are face to face with choosing between profit and Justice. But they take counsel of their preju dices or their fears: they seem to see the evil and Ignore the good. The dol lar may have a bad side, but it also has a good side. The dollar has opened up our farms and mines; it has lighted the fires at every forge; it has built the schoolhouse, church and home; it haa carried the gospel to heathen lands. It has given man a competency and made him free free in mind as free in body. The purity of the dollar has been pre served and made the greatest of all servants to man. Instead of being forced to choose between profit and jus tice, commerce, inspired by our higher civilization, is beginning to realize that the greatest profit is the most exact jus tice. "Disguise it as you may, the real is sue in this sts.te and in the nation, for the past two political campaigns, has been the conservation of property riglits against spoliation. The acquisition of property is conducive to virtue rather than vice. For every wrong that is done in acquiring property, there are a hun dred benefits. "Commerce, however legitimate and fair, should not enter the domain of politics to this we all agree. Political commercialism is not growing in this country; on the contrary, it is on the decline. The controlling men in our pol itics are not millionaires. Rich men do not dominate either in national or state affairs. George Washington is the only rich man who has ever been elected president. The leading men In both branches of congress are mostly men of moderate means. "As to our state, in the early days, po litical commercialism was sometimes seen in the selection of- hieh officers. That -Mme has haopilv passed away, ns it hps In most of the states Commercialism la politics everywhere has -own to be the exception, and not tho rule. "Permit me a word to "the Republican members of the legislature. Our party has been returned to power. The people have again turned to lis. If we show our selves worthy of this confidence, our power will be' perpetuated: if we are false to this trust we will meet with just con demnation. I know that you are in sym pathy with the thought that we should exercise the greatest care and caution in the discharge of the duties imposed on us. It may be safely said that in our day the' people seldom suffer much for the want of law. Wise legislation, not much legislation, is what is desired and expect ed. To that end I pledge myself to you who are my electors, as you have pledged yourselves to those who are your elect ors. "I tender you my sincere thanks and appreciation for this great honor thanks and appreciation beyond the power of ex pression, and let me indulge the hope that your action will be ratified by the people of our beloved state." Mr. Burton's reference to imperialism as an almost forgotten campaign pleas antry elicited a round of applause and audible smiles of approval. He was sev eral times applauded in the course of his remarks, as roundly applauded as any where when he referred to George Wash ington as the father of his country and only rich man ever elected president. At the conclusion of the ceremony Sen ator and Airs. Burton were overwhelmed with the congratulations of friends. The senator could not get down from the speaker's platform for some time. Mrs. Burton stood on the lower tier or clerk's platform and held an impromptu recep tion. She remained as the hall was clear ing and in the effulgence of her joy sought out the more bashful members for a warm handclasp of appreciation of the part they had taken in the elevation of her husband. Senator and Mrs. Burton will leave this evening for Kansas City. They wtll stop there long enough to dine with Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Davis at their apartments at the Hotel Cordova. Mr. Davis was a college mate or senator Burton, and a large real estate and cattle dealer. is RAISE HALE'S SAI,AItXV Senator Chaney Introduces Bill to Fay Poor Commissioner More. The senate held a dull session this morning transacting only routine busi ness. An unusually small number of bills were introduced. Senator Chaney introduced a bill providing that the sal ary of the poor commissioner of Shaw nee county shall be $1,000 per annum. The following bills were introduced: By Ward To establish a county high school at Belleville. Kan. By Peterson Relating to banks and banking and providing for their organiz ation. By Wright Concerning the jurisdic tion of the supreme court and practice therein. By Vincent Making appropriations for the state penitentiary. By Wulfkuhler Relating to crime3 and providing for their punishment. By Chaney Relating to changing grades in streets and alleys in city of first class. By Cubbison To provide for organiz ation of life insurance companies. Fixing the salaries of county superin tendents in counties having more than 6t-.000 inhabitants. By Morehouse Providing for the dis posal of the Peabody silk station. The committee on cities of the second and third class reported that senate bill No. SI, by Stewart, be passed. The bill empowers the mayor and council of the city of Iola to transfer money now in the city treasury for pay ment of coal and gas prospecting bonds to the general fund. It also reported favorably upon bill No. 113, by Householder, authorizing the city of Columbus, Kan., and the town ship of Salamanca. Cherokee county, to make a special levy to pay off certain Indebtedness. The committee on penal institutions reported favorably on bill 231. by Vin cent, an act restoring civil rights to certain discharged inmates of the Kan sas state industrial reformatory.

Do Not Oppose All Trusts, Good and Bad. WEILEP ON WAR PATH. Hints That Opponent Represents Transportation Companies. Anti-Grain Trust Law Is Hav ing a Hard Row to Hoe. "Trust busting" was responsible for a clash between Ed Weilep, of Cherokee, and Emil Grosser, of Dickinson. Buck lin's anti-grain trust bill started the contention. The band wagon rolled over It once before, and it came perilously near suffering a repetition of the ex perience. As the criticism had been made that the bill did not cover all the ground necessary to make it effective Bucklin offered a substitute for every thing following the enacting clause. The substitute was voluminous enough, cov ering every combination of the words "pool," "corporation.," "company," "as sociation," "partnership," "individual," "combine," etc., and making one sen tence longer than two ordinary bills put together. The author said that the bill is in force in Nebraska, and has been found very effective. The minority asked a generous hear ing for the act, as farmers all over the state believe themselves to be at the mercy of a grain trust. Grosser moved that the enacting clause be stricken out, while they were at the task of striking out everything else but the en acting clause and nutting In a substi tute. This was the signal for fencing to cease and began hostilities in real earnest. "I do not know what constituency the gentleman represents," asserted Weilep in his explosive, impeded manner of speech, "but a large part of my con stituency are farmers. According to Secretary Coburn, in his last report, just out, the farmers represent 54 per cent, of all our constituencies. I notice, too, that the transportation interests repre sent only 12 per cent. As far as I have been able to see, the transportation in terests control the whole business, while the farmers are left cut In the cold." A round of applause interrupted the doughty champion of the weak side of the house, and he concluded: "I think l he farmers ought to be heard on the question." It was up to Grosser to reply, and he got back at the outspoken Weilep a few moments later. "I know it has been the practice in Kansas to make grandstand plays to the farmer. Men w ent up and down the state in recent years fearful that the farmer would not get all that was com ing to him. These men were the worst enemies to the farmer that he has. The gentleman's party has been ten years in power, and what laws are on the statute book? If he will keep his shirt on. he'll see what we will do. We'll put a law on the statute books that w ill be just and equitable to the transportation interests, the farmers and all. I repre sent a constituency of farmers; but they have got sense enough not to be fools and oppose every trust, good and bad. We have a law of this kind on the stat ute books now, and It is a "dead letter. Why? Because it is impractical. This bill Is impractical and foolish, and that is why I am against it." The band wagon was turned back into its stall, however, after the cloud of dust had settled down, and the substi tute bill was ordered printed and al lowed to retain its place on the calendar. NO PRAIRIE DOa CENSUS. Representative Olson's Measure Pro vided For Prairie Dog Uniformity For a corpse without a ghost of a show, Olson's prairie dog bill managed to start a lively "ruction," with the as sistance of the Populist backing, in the house. Stephen Cave, the original prairie dog man of this house, had his bill on the calendar for consideration in the committee of the whole. Mr. Weilep tried to have W. C. Olson's meas ure substituted for it, but without suc cess. Cave's measura secured sanction after some minor amendments. The Cave bill provided that a town ship should appoint men to exterminate the dogs, after the person appointed by the board of regents of the state agri cultural college had experimented and found the best way to. do it, and the township will pay for it out of its gen eral fund. Olson proposed that the township appoint, an examiner to go over the district, determine how many of the prairie dogs were around, decitle upon the most effective way of getting rid of them, furnish the county com missioners with an estimate of the cost of the same, and have a levy made to provide the money for the work. Weilep said that Cave's bill made ex termination optional with the township: that "one township may do it and the next not. No sooner will a township get its dog villages depopulated than those from the next township will emigrate and take possession of the deserted town." H. F. Giessler, of Logan, took the part of the original and only Cave, from Gray and Haskell counties. He said that Olson's bill arranges for a man who "goes around and takes some sort of a census or something of the prairie dogs. After he has completed the enu meration of the inhabitants of a vil lage they are liable to move out, as the member suggests, while they are away getting the levy made by the county commissioners." The man from Trego county was so favorable to the uniformity idea and afraid that one township would impose on the other by shifting the responsi bility that he proposed to have a state convention of his prairie dog assessors within thirty days after the passage of his bill to arrange for a general war on the animals. But the effort to have his bill printed and compared with Cave's was doomed to failure, and Topeka will not have the opportunity to entertain the first annual convention of prairie dog enumerators this spring. JURY BILL GOES OVER. Mr. EIcEeever and Adams Have a Little Tilt In the debate over a ury bill m which the old question of challeneing men who read newspapers and show their intelligence came up, Kd McKeever pointed out a suspicious circumstance, as he termed it. on J .B. Adams, of But ler. He said It is known that Adams had been waited on by a delegation of ladies, with which sex the member is reputed to be popular, to have a bill passed to outrage justice in El Dorado and jeopardize men's lives all through the state. He held that t,here was no occasion for rushing Mr. Mason's bill through in a summary manner and that the house ought not to lend Itself to helping any one or two lawyers schemes as precedent had always shown it to be disastrous. Mr.Adams, accused of being under the inlluence of the good ladies of Butler county, asserted, that he had no connec tion with the Morrison case and retali ated with a "suspicious circumstance"' on McKeever. He remarked that Mc Keever's law partner is a leading attor ney for the defense. Lew Betts got out of his seat and walked around to the front pretty bold ly for a new member to remark that the Morrison jury did not suit him but he thought the legislature ought not to pass a bill aimed at a special case. Mr. Mason asserted that the only connection the Morrison case had with his bill was that happening so recently it had called to attention the defect in the law. The bill went over. THAT ASYLUM BILL. Ex Senator G. "W. Hanna Discusses the Measure. The bill which was introduced by Sen ator Fulton Tuesday was an act re pealing chapter 13 of the laws of Kansas of 1S99 which read as follows: "An act making an appropriation for the erec tion and equipment of an insane asylum at some place in Kansas, providing a manner of locating the same, and for the purpose of securing a sit. and pro viding for the management and main tenance of the same." In speaking of the matter this after noon ex-Senator Hanna, of Clay Center, said: "The location of the insane asylum at Parsons was against the best judg ment of nine-tenths of the people of the state of Kansas; that Clay Center voiced the protest, and after fighting it through the courts for two years finally succeeded in referring the whole matter back to the legislature fresh from the people. "Parsons is scarcely an available place for such an institution, leaving out all considerations concerning site, drain age, etc. It Is too near the other in stitutions of the same kind and too near to other states, and would be of no practical benefit to the section of the state which is most abused under existing circumstances. The whole mat ter is up to the legislature for a settle ment and Clay Center will, as a law abiding community, abide by the de cision. "The people of the state do not want an asylum at Parsons. It would be of no use, and the present legislature should take notice of the facts." PAROLE BILL PASSED. Senate Adopts Governor's Flan in Committee of the "Whole. "When the senate met yesterday after noon at 3 o'clock it went into a commit tee of the whole to consider the bills on the calendar.- The first bill recommended for passage was senate bill No. 8, by Senator Pes tana, and was an act relating to appeals and proceedings in error in the supreme court, and regulating trie proceedings therein. Senate bill No. 10, by Porter, was next recommended for passage. This bill provides for the holding of the district court at the cities of Glrard and Pitts burg, in the county of Crawford, and repeals all acts in conflicts with it. The bill by Senator Vincent for the appointment of certain officers in cities of the second and third class was the next passed but it was amended to in clude city attorneys in the list of city officers. Senate bill No. 12, by Smith, was the last one passed and it required a good deal of time and a lot of debate, but it finally got through. It is an act provid ing for the conditional release and parole of prisoners confined in the penitentiary, for their employment and regulating their conduct during the period of such parole, and providing for the return of prisoners violating the conditions Gf the parole, providing the duties of pub lic officers in connection therewith, and the penalty for the failure of a public officer to comply with the terms of the act. The senate then adjourned to lOo'clock Wednesday. AFTER INSURANCE RUST. Representative Hayden Has a Scheme of His Own. An insurance "trust-busting" bill was introduced by George P. Ilayden of Nema ha in the house this morning. The pith of the bill's intent is contained in tne fol lowing section: "It shall be unlawful for two or more fire insurance companies doing business in this state, or for the officers, agents or employes of said companies, to make or enter into any combination or agreement relating to the rates to be charged for insurance, the amount of commission to be allowed agents for procuring the same, or the manner of transacting the fire in surance business within this state Violation of this provision is to be made a misdemeanor, with a tine of $00 to $500 for the first offense and a revocation of their license in addition for a repetition of the offense. NO MORE STATE PRINTER. Harris Amendment "Would Put an End to the Office. The initial move toward abolishing the office of state printer was made in the house by the introduction of a joint reso lution by Charles, Harris of Lyon. Mr. Harris is chairman of the printing com mittee and that body will have charge of the movement henceforth in its course through the legislature. The resolution was placed orf second reading and referred back to the printing committee. Since the statement given out bv Sec retary of State Clark showing how the publication of several useless reports re sulted in an expenditure of Slf!.i nf the state's money, and following the recom mendations made by Governor Stanley in his message, the Republicans have been derided upon abolishing the office. The amendment to the constitution pre scribed by the resolution provides that tne public printing shall be done "in such man ner, at such places and at such prices" as may be decided by law. This means that the public printing will be put out to bidders, according to wh'it manner of law is enacted by the legisla ture of litis. The proposition to amend the constitution will be voted upon in 1;j2, according to the programme mapped out. Receiver For Wathena Bank. St. Joseph. Mo., Jan. 23. Jacob Miller was selected as receiver for the Wa thena, Kan., bank after a long wrangle of the depositors. There seems to be no doubt but that the greater part of the bank's funds were squandered by J. Frank Harpster, the cashier who killed himself. Bank Commissioner Breident hal has r.ot yet reported on the result of his investigation. BHYAirSPAPEO. First dumber of The Commoner Appears Today. The Editor Indulges In a Salu tatory Address. HE PRESENTS REASONS Which Impelled Him to (Jive It the Name. Rich Men Are Not liarred From Hanks of Common People. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2'S. The fir st num ber of "The Commoner," the weekly pa per published by William J. Bryan, -t issued this afternoon. It is a neat-appearing fheet, typographically. The fol lowing is the salutatory: THE COMMONEU. Webster defines a commoner as "o-, of the common people." The name be been selected for this paper bei au.-e Tl Commoner will endeavor to aid the com mon people in the protection of tlu .r rights, the advancement of their ir,t-i-ests and the realization of their aspira tions. It is not necessary to apologize for use of a term which distinguish s t -great body of the population from t: comparatively few, who, for one reaion or another, withdraw themselves fro-t sympathetic connection with their fal lows. Among the Greeks "Hoi Pol loi" was used to describe the many, while among the Unmans the wni 1 "plebs" was employed for the same pur pose. These appellations, like "the n. mon people" have been assumed wii i pride by those to whom they were ap plied, while they have been used a terms of reproach by those whu courm i themselves among the aristocratic class es. Within recent years there has be. -t a growing tendency In some quarters t denounce as demogogic any refer -nee to, or praise of. the common people. One editor in a late Issue of his pap' takes exception to the phrase and sas: "This expression is an i)lehosen oe and should have no lodgment in th-' vocabulary of an American patriot an 1 statesman. If we sought its origin, we; would look for it in that specious dert agogy which has evolved the profession al politician, arrayed country auir-sr town the farmer and his sons an-1 daughters against the business and pro fessional men and their pons and daugh ters capital against labor, and built nj against neighbors- the impregnable bar riers of prejudice and bat." This' Quotation is reproduced bernu it fairly represents the views of tho---who criticize the expression. It nil t. however, an eminently respectable nt igin. In the same chintr- in vvhb h Christ condensed man's duty to his fel lows into the commandment: Thou shalr love thy neighbor as thyself: in tl.-! same chapter in which tie denounced those w ho devour w idows' huus. s an I for a pretense make long prayers ot this same chapter it is said of Him The common people heard Him gladly.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI WEDNESDAY EVENING, JATJART 23, 1D01. oP0RTI1G1!E17S, Corbett Will Appear For a Week in Boxing Bouts On Cincinnati Stage at Tims of Jeffries' Fight. IS IN FINE CONDITION. Sharkey and J! alter Matched For 20 Round Mill. Will Be Fought at Louisville in February. New York, Jan. 23. James J. Corbet t Jias been engaged to appear in a. boxing: bout on the stage of the Peoples theater in Cincinnati during the week of the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest. He opens at the Sunday matinee on February 13. Jt has not been arranged as yet who his sparring partner will be, but it will be tome topnotcher. Corbelt goes to Cin cinnati to challenge the winner of the boxing- contest at Saengerfest hall. It will be remembered that the champion positively refused tomeet Corbett in the 2D rounds proposed for Cincinnati. In fact, Jeffries declined to meet Corbett in anything- but a. fight to a finish. "I have a great many friends in Cin cinnati." said Corbett today discussing Ms proposed engagement in that city. 'The sport-loving people there have al wavs rallied to my assistance, and I look for a big week. I shall challenge the winner of the Jeffries-Ruhlin con test, and I shall do everything within ray power to force him to sign articles if agreement to meet me. Should Ruhiin win I believe I will tia.e no trouble in (retting him to sisrn articles) f agreement to meet me. Fighting is Kuhlin'a frame. But as to Jeffries that may be different. Tcu know it stands on record that I am the only ma-n he will not-meet in a. limited-round bout. He positively refused to meet me again in Chicago in a sax-round bout, and refused to meet me in Cincinnati in a twenty-round go." "Yes, but he said he would meet you In a fight to a finish," was said to Cor bett. "He never fought a finish fight in his life." said Corbett, quickly. "He is only a limited round boxer. I have fought finished fights. Yet I stand ready today or anv other day to meet him in a limited round bout of from 6 to 20 or 25 rounds. My moment of carelessness in our go at the Coney Island club, when it took him 23 rounds to hit me, cost me the championship. I would like to have another chance. He promised me that chance, but fluked. It was not his man ager, Brady, that backed out after ar rangements were made (and at Brady's request, too,) for match between Jef fries and myself at Chicago a few months ago. Brady was willing-, but Jeffries repudiated liia manager and re fused to meet me in a go of six rounds. But I will be at the ringside in Cincin nati, and should Jeffries give me an other chance and agree to meet me I promise there will be no carelessness, and I will carry off the championship, too." Corbett, ever since his return from Europe, has been doing good, light training- work at "Woods' gymnasium, and is in fine form physically and in every other way. Eia MONEY fOB A WEANLING. Tred Gerkea Offers $12,50O For a Brother to The Abbott. New York. Jan. 23. Fred Gerken, the New Tork horseman, owner of the Monk, Fred S. Wedgewood and other harness performers of note, visited the Village farm in western New York re cently and offered what is probably the biggest sum ever offered for a weanling colt. The Village farm Js owned by C. J. Hamlin, the veteran breeder,, who owned the world's champion trotter, the Abbott, 2 before The Abbott was eold to Fira Commissioner Scannell of this city. The colt that Mr. Gerken wanted to buy i3 The Primate, by Chimes, out of Fantasy, and therefore a full brother to The Abbott. Hia breeding is what makes the youngster valuable, since his famous brother made a new record. His value is further enhanced by the breed ing stallion. The Abbott is a geldina. The price offered by Mr. Gerken for the colt was $10,000. "Yes, I offered that amount," Mr.Ger ken said yesterday, "and what's more, I will give $12,500 for the colt. When I was there the other day Mr. Hamlin led the colt out and asked what I'd givr for him. "Five thousand." I said. 'Would you raise that offer." he said. 'Yes," I replied, 'I'll grve SlO.Ono," but the old gentleman wouldn't sell. "The colt is 5 months old, a hand some bay about 13 hands high and looks like The Abbott. They'll hardly race him -until he ia 5 years old. I coul i make $10,000 with him at that age the first year R3 a stallion. The Abbott is almost sure to trot in 2:02 next year, and whether the colt will do as well is uncertain, but he'a surely a. fine one. "Mr. Hamlin showed a couple of brood mares. Lady of the Manor and Fantasv, the former in foal. He said he wouldn't take $100,000 for the two." MOTJNCE A STAB JUDEIi. New J ockey Leads All the Youngsters on the Coast. Chicago, t Jan, 23. Jockey Owen Mounce is flashing into the front' rank f.f successful riders with the same speed that marked: the advent of Eddie Dorai-nh-k among the nation's best light weight artists. This youngster, a prod uct of Idaho, who is now 17 years old, leads the riders on the coast in the number of winning mounts and has a M-tnning percentage of nearly 25 per cent., a remarkable performance for a comparatively unknown boy. Consid ering the fact that Mounce is now called upon to meet boys of the caliber of O'Connor, Dominick, Buchanan, Bull man, Nash Turner and Coburn, and still continues his winning streak, makes his future career in the saddle a promising one. Chicago patrons cf racing- are likely to see this new phenomenon at Wash ington park this summer. At present the boy is under contract to W. B. Jen nings. It was believed by many that he would accompany the Jennings, stable this season, and Mr. Jennings intends to race in this city. But Mounce has since "."w n an inclination to sign elsewhere at the expiration of ills contract. Al though the Heimont stable is said to have made Mounce an offer, he has ex pressed an inclination to ride for Green H. .Morris, who will .race here. It was about this time last year that Jockey Milt Henry was riding his way to success. Henry was little known or Thought of in tb season of lSa, and so It was withi Jockey Mounce last season, which was hia first appearance at the Friffco tracks. He had a mount occa sionally, but it was always a r.u: k out Biier la the betting-. Now be has offers of mounts from all the leading stables racing on the coast. Owen Mounce was born in .Lew Is ton, Idaho, and is 17 years old. He began exercising horses in 189tJ for I. S. Fountain, a friend and neighbor of his father. Mounce Rot hia first mount in a. race at a county fair in Idaho. It was a match race, and he won. The jock eys were reversed and the match raced over at a. subsequent date, and again Mounce won, defeating the horse with which, he had won before. He won every match race at the fairs that season, and thus secured bis start on the turf. Mounce won eight races last week at Oakland, while hia nearest rival,- Dom inick, secured nine brackets. The youngster's margin, however, ia still a. wide one. NONE WERE SPARED. Watbena Cashier Took Money From a Friend at Last lloment St. Joseph, Mb:, Jan. 23. The cause of the suicide of Frank Harpster, cashier or the Wathena State -bank, has been found. He had been speculating on the grain market for several months and iiis losses are said to have been very heavy. His last words were spoken through the telephone to St. Joseph commission company regarding a deal he had on hand. In less than half an hour he had taken his life. He is knmva to have paid a single loss of $1,100 a few days ago. It is said that the, depositors in th? state bank will receive very little of ther.r money back. The assets will not exceed $30,000, part of which is in uncol lectible notes, while the liabilities will perhaps reach $100,000. Ten depositors who were seen today had over $11,000 in the institution. Thtre are 250 depositors in all and on this bas is the deposits would amount to about $130,000, Many persons in moderate cir cumstances will lose practically all they had by the failure. A teamster who had $30 in the bank had 30 cents in his pock et when the doors were closed. Fred Dubach, an aged German who gave Harpster his start in life, had $2,000 in cash and deposited it half an hour be fore the bank closed. The deposit was the last cent he had in the world. AMOS BUSIE WAITING. Big Ball Pitcher Hardly Knows How He Stands. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 23. Amos Rusie said today that it is a case of wait with, him. Like hundreds of others, he is puzzled, over numerous reportB flying hither and thither, and he thinks it is too early to really predict how all the fuss and muss will turn out. If the American league maintains its fight against the National league, it was sug gested to Amos that there would be a good opportunity for him to Jump the traces, leave the National organization, and Freedman, and join an amateur team, where he is almost sure to get a fine position and salary. "What will you do? How does it strike you?" he was asked. "I am not saying," he replied. "I won't do anything rash, but I am about decided I am going to play ball some where. I am fit. and I am going to be on somebody's pay-roll next season." Rusie said President Brush had not communicated with him in any man ner. Amos reiterated former statements to a reporter that he would like to be with the Reds. He said he has heard nothing about the report that he is really Brush's property, having been traded for Hawley and Selbach, and that Brush did not take him to Cincin nati because he "flew up" and left New York, probably getting out of condition by his subsequent idleness.- M'GINNITY HASN'T SIGNED. Crack Pitcher Does Not Wish to Re turn to Hanlon. St. Louis, Jan. 23. "Iron Man" Joe McCinnity, the daddj of all pitchers, writes from South McAlester, I. T., de nying the report that he has signed with the Brooklyn club for the coming season. McGinnity states that he re ceived a clipping from a Chicago paper the past week which bore the news that he and "Bad Bill" Dahlen had been landed by Ned Hanlon and had affixed their signatures to contracts. The "iron man" denies that he has signed with Hanlon. and adds that he has not even heard from "Wise Neddie" or any other official of the Brooklyn club since he completed his duties at Pittsburg last fall by winning the post-season series of games for the "champs" in their tilt with the Pirates. Writes McGinnity: "My plana for the approaching season are still unsettled, but I can assure you that I am still disengaged, and have not heard from Hanlon in any par ticular. I am working six days a week and am as hard as nails. We have a game of ball every Sunday, and this gives me some outdoor work. My arm is all O. K., and I am sure that I will pitch as well, if not better, this year than I ever did." HILLE BRAND TO BE COACH. Famous Pitcher Will Be In Charge of the Princeton Team. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 23. Arthur T. Hillebrand, the famous Princeton ath lete, who graduated last year and who enjoys the unique distinction of cap taining a championship baseball nine and a victoiious football eleven during hia college days, has been chosen by the baseball management aa official coach of the Tiger nine of 1901. "Doc's" twirling ability, aa well as his all-round excellence a baseball play er, will be of invaluable assistance in developing a strong nine out of the green material which is at the disposal of Princeton for the coming spring. He is expected here about the middle of April. YALE ATHLETICS ACTIVE. Success of Football Team Last Sea son Encourages Managers. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 23. Yale ath letic managers are planning a cam paign this year that bids fair to regain for the university the standing in in tercollegiate athletics that was held in the old days. The great success of last year's football season, with the remark ably good team that Captain F. Gordon Brown turned out, has acted as a tonic on all branches of Yale's athletics and the season starts in thia month with more assurance of success than ever before. FREEDMAN TO SPEND MONEY. New York Magnate Is Willing to Strengthen the Giants. New York, Jan. 23. While compli cations have arisen over the baseball situation in other cities over the organi zation, of the new American association, here in New York the situation ia en couraging. The fact that President Freedman of the local club has aroused, himself and promises to take a personal interest in the Giants and the game ia a guarantee that the city will be represented by the best talent that can be secured. "New York city and the Giants will be a factor in baseball next year. The team will finish, as good as third, axul perhaps better," said a prominent mag nate today. "Mr. Freedman is out to get a winner this year, and he will succeed. I know for a fact that he has offered more money for players to me alone than I have been offered before since I have been in the league." DOBBS WHIPPED JACKSON. Young Peter Received a Severe Beat ing in Twenty Rounds. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 23. Bobby Dobbs, the colored lightweight,, admin istered a severe beating to young Peter Jackson, of San Francisco, in the arena of the Phoenix Athletic club last night before the largest crowd that has yet assembled in the club house The fight was scheduled to" go twenty rounds, and it went the limit only through the great endurance of the San Francisco man. The contest was a furious one from start to finish and in only one round the eighteenth did Jackson show to advantage. In this round he knocked Dobbs sprawling to the floor, but the latter quickly regained his feet and closed Jackson's right eye with a hard swing. Jackson fought like a wild man in the twentieth round, but at the close Referee Hottum awardr ed the fight to Dobbs. i SPIER HAS A NEW WONDER Expects His Son of Directum to Low er the Sire's Record. New York. Jan. 23. W. R. Spier of this city, proprietor of Suburban -farm and owner of the former champion stallion, Directum, 1:06V4, has a 3-year-old son of Directum that he believes will trot to a faster mark than that of his sire. The youngster's dam is by Axtell, 2:12. Last June, when a 2-year-old, the colt trotted an eighth of a mile in 0:15. a 2:04 gait. His nav of going resembles his sire's. About February 4 George Spear will take Sphinx S., 2:094: Alice Barnes, 2:11H: Baronwood. 2:144: Slipper, 2:2: Lady Morya. 2:16i: George Alex. 2:23: Sphlnx o!o. Queen Wilkes and Coxey to the track at Louisville, where lie will prepare them for the campaign. They are now at the McDonald stables. Alice Barnes has been doing so well on the speedway that K. K. Smathers has decided to have her prepared for the raced. 1 New Move Against Fight Cincinnati, Jan. 23. It developed to day at the meeting of the Municipal Reform league that the authorities in New York city had been called upon to take a hand in the efforts to prevent the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest Feruary 15, under the auspices of the Saengerfest Hall association. Rev. David Mc-Kin-ney, D. D., the president of the league, read a letter he had just received from District Attorney Eugene Philbin, of New York, in answer to an appeal from the league to assist if he could. Phil bin said he would do all in his power to prevent the contest taking place, and asked that the league send to him at once all the information and evidence it had showing that a prize fight was con templated. McKinney said that Philbin had already been informed of the con tracts between the Saengerfest manage ment and W. A. Brady and Billy Mad den, the managers of Jeffries and Ruh lin, respectively, for a fight, which had been made In New York through Attor ney White, of Cincinnati. Johnson in Boston. Boston, Jan. 23. President Ban John son, of the American Baseball league, and Charles W. Somers, of the Cleve land club of that organization, arrived here today and visited the new base ball grounds on Huntington avenue. Both are pleased with the location. When asked about the new American association, Mr. Johnson said: "I re gard it as a big joke and don't care to discuss it." While Mr. Johnson was talking a telegram was handed him, which he read, and said: "Connie Mack wires me that he has just secured a ten years' lease on the grounds at Twentv-ninth street and Columbia ave nue in Philadelphia. This is by all odds the most eligible site in Philadelphia." Maher and Sharkey Matched. Louisville. Ky., Jan. 23. Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher have been matched to meet in a twenty round contest before the Louisville Athletic club during the month of February. They will meet at catch weio-nts. Sharkey did not intend to remain idle until he got an opportu nity to battle for the championship. The ?Ior, who Is now at Hot Springs, wh-9 fcx' went to train lor ms go wim "Kid" McCoy, which has been declared ox, wired his manager, Barney Beich, to match him against any other rood heavyweight available. Back to Stay in Cleveland. Cincinnati, Jan. 23. Manager Chas. J Strobel, of Toledo, came to the Queen City yesterday. Mr. Strobel talked en tertainingly on the baseball outlook. "I am anxious to see Toledo represented in a good league next season," said Mr. Strobel. Will Cincinnati get Erve Beck?" "I don't see how the Reds can get him. We sold him to Cleveland for $300, the draft price, and our choice of certain infielders in the Forest City team. The sale was a bonafide one and was made because we realized that Beck would be drafted at the end of the season. He is one of the best -hitters in the country, and Bob Gilks thinks he is fast enough for any league on earth. Beck can hit them a mile, but he is not a fast man on the bases. He ia a good ball player, however." COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS The big brass 12-younder which is used in the parade and in the battle scene in Jacob Litt's magnificent revival of "Shenandoah" saw actual service in the late war of the rebellion. It was made by one of the most famous ord nance, firms in the country in Cincinnati in 1861, and weighs nearly 1,200 pounds. The field piece saw actual service dur ing the war, and played an important part in the battle of Antietam and sev eral other battles. The. government con demned it In 1872 and it fell into the hands of a relic hunter, who in turn disposed of it to a dealer in military supplies. Two years -ago Mr. Litt se cured it and ever TBince it has held an honored place among the many proper ties used in hia big production of Bron son Howard's famous play. "Shenan doah" comes to the Crawford Thursday. That inexhaustible bit of stage pleas antry, "A Milk White Flag," is one of the season's offerings of the theatrical managers, Dunne and Ryley, who have the reputation of always providing ex cellent companies for their attractions. There ia irresistible humor in the com plications arising in the Ransoms Guards, a military organization now known throughout the country, thank3 to Mr. Hoyt's skill in farce writing. Milk White Flag" is one of Hoyt's great success, and it deserves to be, for it is hilariously funny, and it is presert ed by a large company of clever people who introduce a host of pleasing speci alties whenever the opportunity offers. Little Chip, the famous eccentric come dian, is said to be one of the hits of the performance in his droll impersonation of "The Private," and his character songs and odd dancing specialty. "A Milk White Flag" come to the Craw ford Friday. The Andrews Opera company comes to the Crawford Saturday matinee and night. rrn?v lull Europe Wants Shipment ofs Our Zinc Ore. Fifty Thousand Tons From Galena-Joplin District. IS CONTRACTED FOR. Large Exportation Expected to Prevent Surplus. First Cargo Will Be Sent Out In Early March. Galena, Jan. 23. Fifty thousand tons of high-grade zinc ore from the Missouri-Kansas mining district is to be exported to Europe, this amount of ore having already been contracted for by the European smelters with the Mis souri and Kansas Zinc Miners' associa tion. Zinc ore has been growing scarcer in Europe for several years, while this productive district has been yielding more ore than the American zinc smelt ers could handle. Thus, the American smelters have had an excuse for ham mering down the prices of ore on the ground of overproduction, and for a year or more the mine owners have been completely at the mercy of the smelters, who made the prices as they chose. This condition of affairs has resulted in the shutting down of many zinc mines, w hich cannot make expenses at the present prices of ore. The Zinc Miners' association is contracting with all the mine owners In the Missouri Kansas district for one-fourth of the zinc ore they w -1 produce this year, or every fourth week's yield. The price is to be based upon the assay value of the ore. Exportation of one-fourth of the year's zinc output will prevent a sur plus and by reducing the ore available to American smelters to barely enough to keep their plants running will tend to advance the prices. There are now about 6,000 tons of high-grade ore in this district, awaiting exportation. The first cargo will be shipped in March.An other cargo of 4,000 to 5,000 tons of ore will be shipped every month thereafter until the 50,000 tons contracted for will have been exported. The Zinc Miners association, which is capitalized at $100, 000 paid-up stock, will buy the ore from the mine owners and act as the agent pf the foreign smelters. This step mear:s much for the zinc mineral belt, for it will probably result in greater prosper; ity for the entire mining district than it has yet enjoyed. MRS. NATION OUT OF JAIL. Attempts to Wreck Another Saloon But Is Driven From Town. Wichita, Jan. 23. Followed by a howling, hooting mob of about 500 men, women and children, Mra Carrie Nation left Salvation Army headquarters at 19 o'clock last night, bent upon wrecking more saloons. Coming in front of a sa loon on Douglass avenue, she was about to smash the plate windows when a number of Salvationists caught her arms and prevented more damage. The crowd dared her to wreck another place and then cries- of "mob her" were heard. The Salvation Army people managed to smuggle her to the depot, where she took a train for Newton. Mrs. Nation and her associates, Mrs. Lucy Wiihoite and Mrs. Julia Evans, who were arrested Monday night for wrecking two saloons in this city, again have their liberty and Mrs. Nation's first act was to announce that she will continue her work of destruction until every saloon in Wichita has been de molished. The trio were released upon $1,000 bonds, signed by W. R. Smith and W. P. Jones, both retired capitalists of this city. While the bonds were being arranged In the office of the clerk of the district court, Mrs. Nation and the assembled W. C. T. V. women sang "Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow." When informed that she wou:5 be tarred and feathered if she repea'ed her performance of Monday night, she replied: "That does not frighten me, neither will it deter me from going ahead with the work I have begun. A man may look in the very mouth of a cannon, but he will not attempt to face a woman with a hatchet in her hand Four or five men have been stationed in front of each of the various saloons of this city, armed with clubs and whips, with instructions to use them if necessary. The wife of one saloonkeeper has placed herself in the front apartment of the saloon and threatens to give Mrs. Nation a reception that men naturally would recoil from. The city is all worked up oVer the af fair, and the next overt act on the part of Mrs. Nation will start a mob after her. One of the oflicials connected with the judiciary department of this countv said in most emphatic terms after Mrs. Nation was released upon bail: "If that woman ever attempts a repetition of her act Monday night, there will be no cause to bring her to trial in any earthly court." The plate glass insurance companies have wired their local agents to either cancel or insert the following in all of the policies: "It is agreed and under stood that no further liability will be assumed by this company for any breakage of glass at the place named within this policy by Mrs. Carrie Nation or any confederateacting under her or ders and supervision." The husband of Mrs. Evans threatens to procure a divorce. It has been ascertained that the young man who struck Officer. Sutton Monday was the son of Mrs. Evans, one of the smashers. His plea that he struck the officer under the misappre hension that the officer was about to strike his mother gave him immunity from punishment. He is a reporter on one of the local papers Mrs. Nation today received, by tele graph, an offer of $75 a week from a New York theatrical manager to star in "Ten Nights in a Barroom." She replied that she would take the offer under con sideration. W. C. T. TJ. DOES NOT APPROVE Hutchinson, Jan. 23 Mrs. Hutchinsoa, of this city, state president of the Wo men's Christian Temperance union, says that the organization does not approve of the methods employed by Mrs. Car rie Nation, the saloon wrecker. In an interview here Mrs. Hutchinson said? "The W. C. T. U. of Kansas is inter ested In the Nation raid thus far and no farther. They wouid like to know whether outlawed property has any le gal rights. The W. C. T. TJ. of Kansas does not believe this is the best way to handle the saloons and joints of Kan sas, but loyalty to a member would cause them to see that she has a fair trial. I am surprised at this second raid in Wichita. I can only understand it by knowing that Mr3.

He owns a farm in Kiowa county of 18.000 acres and has it stocked with thousands of head of cattle and horses. He has just come from there and is accompanied by his wife and three daughters. He came to Emporia to pay a visit to his first cousin, A. W. Rockefeller of 717 Chestnut street. Mr. Rockefeller was out at the ranch last summer, and this visit was to repay the one he made. Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller entertained their Emporia kin in their special ear at dinner and left on the afternon M.. K. T. train for Texas.

May Prove a Factor in the Next Mor rison Murder Trial. F,l Dorado. Kan., Jan. 23. G. W. Sexton, while preparing to move a barn on the farm of Louis Hall, just north of town, found a bloody razor in a case between the weather-boarding and the casing of the barn. During the trial of Jessie Morrison for the murder of Clara Wiley Castle, an af fidavit was read made by a hired man who worked on Louis Hail's farm, which stated that a peddler named Morgan had stopped at the farm and related to him a .history of the tragedy. At the trial neither of the men could be found. Whether the new razor found had anything to do with the trial is not known: BROTHERS IN A QUARREL.

Gaw was elected on that issue in his district. The last session elosed the mine to sales both by contract and wagon trade.

It is claimed that the action of the legislature two years ago was in violation of the agreement.

SUES A WATER COMPANY. Atchison Man Wants 10,000 For Son's Death by Drowning. Atchison, Jan. 23. The third trial of the damage case of Frank Price against the Atchison Water company was begun in the district court this morning.

Greatest Demand Will Come From the South. The manufacture of passenger cars is undergoing a radical change and it lu difficult to predict the changes which may take place In the construction within a few years. The "Wilson Car company of Spring-field, ilass., has un dertaken the manufacture of copper covered cars which it is thought will greatly improve the durability of the cars. The invention i3 very recent and is the result of much labor. For years men have been, at work endeavoring to discover some chemical substance which should help preserve the cars. Another company of eastern car man ufacturers his been so favorably Im pressed with the present discovery that it has accepted an order from the Erie railroad to make 29 cars of the new pattern The only ears of this k.nd now In use are sample cars and until the present time no other company has tried to build cars on this plan. The Kitchburg- and Erie road watched closely all experiments with the copper covered cars, and was so well satisfied with them that it placed an order with the Wilson, company of Spring-field, it is thought that these cars will soon come Into common use. Tre copper passes through a peculiar process be fore it is placed on the cars. It is oxi dized, and other experiments are now being tried that will determine the ex act color in which these cars are to ap pear finally, thoug-h bluish black will probably be the color. In polishing- the metal, chemicals are used which will leave the car a natural color after the weather has worn away the natural col or. It is thoug:ht they will present a more uniform, color than the cars built today. It is expected that the greatest de mand for these cars will be from the southern states and from South America where samples have aireadj' been sent. Strangely as it may seem, railroad men claim that the weather of -a southern climate is much more severe on cars than that of the north. Some cars for jSouth American railroads have been covered with mahogany which is one o? the most enduring woods. It is nearly &9 expensive as copper and much less durable. ACCIDENT AT ABBEYVILIE.

The first one will be put in the yards here, and if it proves a success it is probable that they will go into use along the sys tem. Gordon Griffith, caller of. engine crews at Emporia, is in the hospital here. A few nights ago he fell from a"stepladder. CARRIED TOO FAR. The Fear of Being Deceived or Hum bugged Prevents Many People From Trying a Good Medicine. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure, that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical permanent cure for dyspepsia and in digestion. Many such people pride them selves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in medicines. This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak di gestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made for a remedy so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re spect from ordinary patent medicines for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine; no secret is made of the ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin (govern ment test) Golden Seal and diastase. They are not cathartic neither do they act powerfully on any particular organ but they cure indigestion on the com mon sense plan of digesting the food eaten, thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou bles, because they act only on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is in the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af ter meals, digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food, not digested or half-digested is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles, which are often called by some other name. Thej' are sold by druggists every where in the United States.Great Britain and Canada. sustaining injuries that are quite se vere. George W. Symmes, a. well known clerk at the master car builder's office, has undergone an operation at the hos pital for appendicitis. Santa Fe men will be glad to know that his condition is very satisfactory to the surgeons.

While trying to repair an air pump the valve and bushing blew out striking him in the face and cutting several gashes. He is recovering slowly. Western railroads are interested in the resolution which Senator Harris has introduced in the United States senate. It directs the Interstate Com merce commission to investigate whether there are now any association or as sociations of railroad companies formed for the purpose of controlling or re straining competition in traffic rates over lines between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains. Only the Union Racitic, Burlington and Northwestern roads will give a rate of one fare for the round trip to the an nual meeting of German Baptists to be held In Lincoln. Neb., in May. On account of the strike among Colo rado coal miners, the Santa Fe is ship ping coal to that state for use on its several divisions. The coroner's jury In the case of Wm. Shaw, killed at Caldwell by the cars, returned a verdict that no one could be blamed for the man's death, because he had neglected to put out the proper sig nals before beginning his work. W. F. Shipper was ejected irom train 405 between Derby and Mulvane, Kan,, on October 16, 1899. The reason for his ejectment was that he refused to pay his fare. He began suit in the district court of Sedgwick county to recover $2,000 damages. The jury has lately re turned a verdict in favor of the com pany.

M a few nights ago a Santa Fe passenger ran into a freight killing 15 cattle. Over 200 head escaped to the foothills of the moun tains. 1 It is thought that western roads will give only a rate of one fare for the round trip on the occasion of the G. A. R. annual encampment at Cleveland next fall. The Missouri Pacific has put a large force of men at work at Fort Scott, making preparation for the enlargement of its yard. Thomas Waters of Jackson county. Mo., has sued the Santa Fe for $20,000.

Harvey and family were here from Sedgwick yesterday, guests at the home of Boilermaker Harry Morgan. FROM WELLINGTON-. Arthur Coomes, Rock Island operator at Caldwell, visited his parents in this city recently. Dick Owens has returned to Newton to stay until business picks up on the Panhandle division. Switchmen Hall, Tullis and Kelly, of Newton, were here a few days ago for the purpose of organizing a switchmen's union. T. A. Matthews, who formerly ran a candy store on South Washington ave nue, has secured a job as brakeman with the Missouri Pacific railway, run ning out of Wichita. Supt. G. E. Ayer left for his new posi tion as superintendent of the western division with headquarters at La Junta. Mi Ayer's handling of affairs on the Panhandle division during the strike and other work here has shown the higher offfeials that he is capable of managing a more important division. His successor, T. J. Whisenand, who took charge here, was formerly assistant superintendent at Chanute, and coming here as superintendent ia a promotion for him. FROM ALBUQUERQUE. John Wiley, foreman in the local shops, is indisposed with the grip, but refuses to be downed. Mrs. M. A. Henry, after a three weeks' siege of the grip and pneumonia, is again able to be around. Engines Nog. 26, 32, 60 and 83 are be ing put through a very elaborate equrse of sprouts in the back shop. The amount of overtime put In by the men is increasing and the night force is growing large. Every department Is crowded beyond its ordinary limit. Joe Walker, the well known superin tendent of terminals, headquarters in Los Angeles, who has been drinking the reviving wine in the Albuquerque at mosphere for two weeks past, has re--turned home feeling much better. Superintendent of Motive Power John Player has submitted the plans for the extensive improvements at the local shops to Vice President Barr, and that official has given his unqualified ap proval. The cost of the work has been included in the estimates for 1901. It is thought that actual work will begin very soon. I The rush of freight traffic on the Santa Fe Pacific continues and engines are almost daily being received from the Santa Fe divisions to relieve the pressure. Four big engines were re ceived at the round-house yesterday. Several freight crews whose regular runs are between San Marcial and Al buquerque and Albuquerque and Las Vegas, have, also been transferred, to the Santa Fe Pacific. Mrs. T. M. Bartlett, wife of T. M. Bartlett, an old-time conductor between Albuquerque and Las Vegas, died in St, Vincent's sanitarium at Santa Fe. 31 HS. NATION A MOSES. The Kansas Hermit Congratulates the Joint Smasher. Htigh Cameron, the Kansas hermit, has written the following to Mrs. Carrie Nation of Wichita joint fame. Camp Ben Harrison, Glen Burn, Doug las County, Kan., Jan. ,20, 190L Mrs. Nation. Dear Madam: In this age of woman servitude and cowardice, (woman the mother of mankind and the mother of the Son of God), the recent occurrence at WTichita is refreshing, calculated to inspire a hopefulness that the woman Moses iias arisen. The Hermit of Kan sas.notwithstanding the recent attempts to silence him by fires, cannot refrain from this public expression of this ac knowledgment of his gratitude to Al mighty God and Carrie Nation for her heroic attempt to punish the crucifiers for their outrageous disregard of the divine and statute law. All virtuous mothers in the United States of America should, now, take an especial pride in writing nation with a. big N. The Hermit is in favor of the corona tion of Carrie Nation. Respectfully, HUGH CAMERON, K. H. Hutchinson Jubilee in June. Hutchinson, Jan. 23. The date for the Kansas musical jubilee which is held annually in Hutchinson, has been changed from the last week in May to the first week in June. The dates will be June i to 7. Ellsworth county's plan of having its city high schools declared county high schools and dividing the expense has attained the highest endorsement. When J. C. O'Donnell's bill to legalize it was called in committee of the whole, there was a rush of half a dozen other coun ties to be included in the bill.

Physicians are treating many diseases with careful dieting and little or no. medication, with the most satisfactory-results; but the great difficulty in this method of treat ment lies in the inability to secure sim ple, nutritious foods properly prepared. Many of the best housewives know little or nothing about the preparation of dishes for the sick. THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS MUST BE IMPLICITLY OBEYED. Under no circumstances can one venture to feed any dish to a sick person without first consulting the doctor. This cannot be too much emphasized, for often a food which might be of benefit to a person in some kinds of sickness may be directly Injurious In other cases; as, for example, well cooked rice, which is one of the most easily digested foods, but must not be given to a diabetic patient. Usually, the physician will leave a list of foods to be given the patient. If he should not do so, venture on no experiments without his order. FEEDING VERY SICK PERSONS A very sick person has need of much and frequent nourishment, because of the tissue waste caused by the disease; this waste must be repaired as rapidly as possible by food of proper nature and most careful preparation. Unfortunately, when the need for food is so greaf, the digestive system is In a very feeble con dition, and no solid foods can be given. Here milk is the standby. The food is usually given at frequent intervals and in very small quantities, perhaps half a cupful of nourishment is given every two hours, the frequency and amount vary ing with the needs of the patient. If the patient tires f milk, its taste may be disguised by the addition of a teaspoonful of cocoa, caramel, or, if stimulants are gi'en, a little wine or brandy may be added. Perhaps the patient may be allowed other articles of fluid diet, such as beef, chicken, clam, 'oyster or mutton broth, eggnog, soft custard, gruels, tea, coffee or cocoa. Tea or coffee are generally given only as stimulants, as their nutritive value is very slight. Except in special cases, the patient is much better without either of these. Egg albumen is of much value in pro tracted fevers, and where nourishment in a condensed, readily assimilated form is required. Egg albumen must be freshly prepared. This may be done in either of the two following ways: First, to the white of a very fresh egg add shredded ice, and beat to a foam; give from one to three spoonfuls at a time to a very sick patient. The second way is to beat the egg white slightly, adding to it a glass of cold water, flavor with a little lemon juice. The white of an egg may also be given in a glass of milk, and if thoroughly mixed its presence cannot be detected by the most sensitive taste. Egg lemonade is a most useful drink in fevers and looks most appetizing with its deli cate white foam on top. To make egg lemonade, take the juice of half a lemon, one tablespoonful of sugar and half a glass of cold water. Mix .thoroughly and add the slightly beaten white of one egg. Shake for several minutes in a lemonade OTHER WAYS IN WHICH EGGS MAY BE GIVEN. Eggs may be given mixed with gruels, or with broths. Sometimes the whole egg is used, at other times only the white. To avoid curdling in mixing eggs with hot fluids, beat the egg in a bowl, add to it, very slowly, beating constantly, the hot liquid. "TO MAKE BEEF BROTH. For this preparation, meat from the round is best. Wipe the meat well with a cloth dampened in boiling hot water, remove all fat and cut the meat into very small pieces; cover with cold water and allow it to stand for at least half an hour, until the water is auite red. Then heat very slowly to the boiling point and let it boil for about twenty minutes. The heating to the boiling point must be done very gradually; it should take over an hour. If any fat remains, remove it by drawing a piece of soft brown or white paper over the surface; this will collect the melted fat; do this until every particle of fat has been taken off. Sea.son care fully with salt and serve hot. This broth will keep in the icebox for three days. RARE BEEF TEA. This is made in similar manner to the above recipe, except that it is not boiled. Let the meat stand in the water in a very cold place, stirring occasionally, un til about all the juices are extracted. In heating it let it come very slowly to the steaming point, and quickly remove it from the fire and strain, and when cool put It in a very cold place until needed. This will not keep very long and should not be made in large quantities. Reheat it by standing it in boiling water. This is given in small quantities and is rather stimulating; never more than an after dinner coffee cupful is ever given, and sometimes but a tablespoonful at a time. FOOD FOR THE CONVALESCENT. As the patient begins to regain health and strength more solid food is given. Milk or cream toast.soft boiled or poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed, or some times fresh fruits, or a well baked potato. Great care must be taken not to overtax the digestive organs. Relapses are often caused by too much indulgence of the patient's appetite at this stage. One must advance slowdy and with great care. A broiled bird or a piece of rare beefsteak or a chop may be given when the patient is in a sufficiently advanced stage of re covery. Oysters are almost always al lowed, and are both palatable and easily digested if perfectly fresh and not too much cooked. When they are overcooked the albumen becomes hardened, very tough and difficult to digest. Cook them only until the gills begin to curl. Cream soups are valuable, as they are nourishing and easily digestad, but they should not be boiled too long. AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. A great deal of attention should be paid to the serving of food for a sick person. The faint appetite of illness can best be coaxed by the daintiness of the food. Serve the food on a tray with a fresh, white cover, and be careful not to put so much on the tray as to crowd it. Better to serve too little and let the patient ask for more, than to put so much on at one time that the sick one is immediately dis couraged, and may decide not to eat any thing. A flower or a little sprig of green laid upon the white tray cloth is often an incentive to the indifferent appetite; but do not attempt a vase of flowers, unless it be a very small and dainty one. Have the tray set with the prettiest china and glass obtainable, without too much color, so as to weary the eye; if the china is all of a single pale tint, the effect will be very dainty and pleasing to the eye of the patient. It must also be small enough to accommodate the size of the tray. Never let the tray or remains of food stand in the sick room after the patient has been fed. Let all hot foods be served immediate ly after they are prepared; and it seems superfluous to mention that all hot dishes must be hot, and all cold dishes equally cold: however, this is not always done; sometimes both the cold and hot dishes are allowed to stand until they reach the same temperature. DESSERTS FOR THE SICK. There are a great many simple, dainty desserts which may be served to the in valids, especially those made with eggs and gelatine. Ice cream is often given, and is very nutritious and can be digested by some very ill patients, and it is almost always relished. SEASONING. In cooking for sick people, no high seasoning is allowable; but the food must be sufficiently flavored and seasoned to be palatable. Some people have a mistaken idea that invalid cookery consists merely of tasteless, flavorless dishes, of which no well person could be induced to partake. Unfortunately too many of these people have prepared the food for sick people without proper knowledge of the work, or being aware of the fact that the palate, or, more properly speaking, the taste in iilness is far more sensitive and quick to detect flavor than in health, and general physical conditions are such that great cafe must be observed not to cause irrita tion by use of harmful seasoning. A n, 1 5 i r Why Paiiie's Celery Compound is Hie Best Remedy in the World. f f V'A''-. 1 "When everything1 else has failed, Paine's celery compound has brought me back to health." The thousands of instances where this has been said the scores of people in every community who have told this simple story; the downright, hard, cold facts; the grateful acknowledgments of men and women who have suffered from the diseases that have their origin in impaired nervous systems and sluggish. Impure blood these are what have made;Paine'a celery compound far and away the one remedy above all others that physicians prescribe and the public indorse. It is by merit, and merit alone that Paine's celery compound has achieved its wonderful pre-eminence, not only in this country but throughout the civil ized world. i After the unfortunate oerson who Is ailing because the blood needs new life, and the nerves require nature's food, finally tries Paine's celery compound, and gets immediate relief, another is added to the great multitude of people whose praise of this remedy has made the demand for it many times larger than that of all other remedies put to gether. A person must have lost all confidence in his fellowmen who can read the fol lowing letter and not be convinced of the great benefit Paine's celery com pound has done, is doing, and will con tinue to do for sick and nervous people wherever it finds them. When a sick man or woman finds that he or she has taken a remedy that has actually done for him or her all that is claimed for it it can be safely predicted what will follow. Every acquaintance, sick or well, will be told about it. Gen. Rodriguez has written down his experience in the hope of helping others who may be so afflicted. The general WITHOUT T 1 .JdL ADULTERATION. healthy, hearty person, ignorant of the re quirements of the sick, should not be in trusted with the preparation of their food, as their ideas are not safe to be carried out. If there is any time when the ap petite must be tempted and catered to, and yet a due regard paid to suitable food, it is in illness. Receipts.

During t tie strug gle for Cuban Independence he ros from the ranks to the grade of brigadier general, and in 1 vt won a decisive vic tory over Gen. Campos. Gen. Rodriguez was a very sick man. He was as near nervous prostration as one can be and live. After Ave yearn' suffering his first good night's "sleep came immediately upon his taking Paine's celery compound. His letter reads: "Dear Sirs: For five years I had not had a good night's rest. I had a serious case of nervous prostration, my streiig'. h seemed to be leaving me, and I felt tired and weak all the time. My blood was impure, and I sufft-red from pains in the back, constipation, and an inactive liver. I had no appetite and no Hiniu tion.

The barons -w ho own Ice machines are already putting on lordly airs. Topeka has had good theatrical at tractions this year, and Mr. Crawford deserves the credit. Now that the senatorial question Is fettled the legislature will be expected to get down to work. Albert Edward as king of England, Is in a much more trying position than Albert Edward. Prince of "Wales. No new positions for Janitors or clerks Jiave been created by the legislature for a whole day. Something must be wrong-. The Prince of Wales Is not such a bad fellow, after all," is the way the opinions of England's ruler are now ex tresed. Thirty Topeka policemen headed by Chief Stahl have faiied to accomplish in eix months what Mrs. Nation did in five minutes. A good meal can be secured in Topeka for 13 cents, and still some people say boardinghouse keepers In the capital city rob people. The Kansas legislature ought to have Sfs picture taken. It is made up of as fine a looking: set of men as were ever assemble'!. Elbert Hubbard ought to found a col ony In Kansas. He wouldn't have to kunt long to discover men who are, able to do things. The Martin-Hazen contest looks like a Juke. It is always better for the can didate who is defeated to do as little wriggling as possible. North Tapeka is as much an Integral Tart of Topeka as the Third ward, and the sooner the idea that it is a separate city is eradicated the better. Cyrus Leland hasn't been heard from fince Burton has won his prize. Isn't It just possible that King: Cyrus wishes he hadn't said a few things? The book trust doesn't like the Kan Fas text-book law. The trust might be getting the money the people are saving, end no wonder it doesn't like It. The New York Sun says Tom Mc Neal's style in his Fables Is suggestive of the cyclone. The Sun man ought to eee him at a Saturday Night club ban quet. "Ton may shatter and break the kegs If ycu will, but the scent of the beer will linger round still." is what a visitor at the Topeka police station was heard to mutter today. If Colonel Roosevelt must hunt some thing, anJ still expects to be inaugu rated as vice president, it will be safer for him to pass up mountain lions and ,t back to New York and buck tha tiger. No assemblage of Kansans ever falls to pass resolutions upon the least provo cation. The death of Queen Victoria pave the legislature the opportunity it had been waiting for ever since the trfsavenworth lynching. Gen. Hugh Cameron, the Kansas liermit, has emerged from his retirement to compliment Mrs. Nation. The hermit lias had a few troubles of his own. Rude tralicemen not long ago ejected him trora the capitol at Washington. Kansas is saving hundreds of thou rands of dollars annually in echoo-I books. It would seem that the legis lator who dares to attempt to over throw the text-book law would Boon find lilmaelf dodging pretty lively to keep cut of the way of the brickbats of j?ub lia sentiment. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. The only remedy for some evils is lynching. "Either I am a fool, a man said to Jay, "or other people are." Pome women are never really good and mad until they go to singing. There is a certain color of blue which no woman ever wears except when the is a bride. It is always a good plan to never boast in the presence of a neighbor: his memory may be good. If a certain citizen of Atchison rhould fall into the river, no one would offer to help him out. The "backbone of a chicken always reminds us of a rocking chair that has been placed In batter, and fried. An Atchison man is becoming sus picious: he doubts that goods offered et the dry goods stores at four cents a yard, were reduced from forty-eight cents. A visiting woman recently made fonble at an Atchison house for five ataj's, and after Iter departure, the host ess said, "She never admired my house once!" Some people think that if they have an Intense Yearning, it is a sign of something noble. As a matter of fact, you should get over that Intense yearning. A few of the English nobility who come to America looking for rich wives, are captured by variety actresses. Therefore it is not surprising to see ad vertisements of this kind in the papers: "Song and dance by Lady Frances Hope (May Yohe), followed by the great contortionist Duchess Manheim (Lillie Lewis)," etc. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A rare picture la one that Is not well done. One way to make an army fly la to break Its wings. A pretty saleswoman is a first class counter attraction. All lady passengers are passing fare to the street car conductor. Rheumatism may be a Joint affair when there is only one party to It. It is the business of a business man to see that his employes attend to bis business. UUAJKES REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. An alarming situation the sentry's. The weather vane is always to the point. Liquor and lick her too often go to gether. To frown 1n a mirror will cast a se rious reflection on any girl. The dude's sharpness is all in the creases of his pantaloons. One way to keep ahead of time is to wear a watch in a back pocket. The man who tries to live on faith and hope will wind up by living on charity. A conscientious woman will keep a secret even if she Jias to call in fealf a dozen friends to help her. "Are all toadstools deadly?" queried the landlady. "Well," replied the face tious boarder, "there isn't mushroom for doubt." "Back again!" exclaimed the house wife. "Why, I gave you some soup yes terday." "Dat's all right, lady," said the hobo, "one good tureen deserves anoder." I "This witticism about the dead man leaving a million because he couldn't take it with him strikes me as being rather weak, "sarcastically remarked the editor. "You're wrong," said the hu morist, "that's a capital Joke." "On one hand will be the sheep and on the other the goats," said the rever end gentleman. "Ah. my friends, too many of us I am afraid will be with the goats." "I shouldn't wonder," admitted the man in the last pew; "we all start out as 'kids. 'Cold contracts, said. quota Jones, 'tis I'll not believe that's true. The one I've got makes my poor bead Just feel as big as two." JAYHAWKES JOTS. Musty corn is responsible for the death of several Selden horses. A jail is wanted at Erie whose locks cannot be picked by small wires. A patriotic Minneapolis family has contributed three boys to Uncle Sam's navy. Maple Hill farmers regret the advent of a traveling grocery fakir in that vicinity. "A Run n the Bank" drew a much smaller audience at Galena, than at Wathena. A Hanover dog boards passing trains to the next town and catches a ride back every few days. A Salina boy stole a bucket of coal to keep warm by and was given a fifteen days' jail sentence. Mrs. Adams of Perry owes her new set of furs to her poultry which laid 496 dozen eggs last year. The soft vernal season has reached Pottawatomie county and January po tatoes are being planted. Valley Falls need more houses badlv. A half dozen families will have to mi grate or live in tents after March 1. Inmates of the Winchester prison have sworn off on tobacco chewing at least until they can get out where it is. Uncle Dave Heflebower Is interested in a rice plantation in Louisiana and like Col. Sellers thinks "there's millions in it." Leavenworth is to have a chicken picking match. The champion claims to have stripped the feathers from 530 fowls in three hours. A Spring Hill citizen shipped out a carload of walnut logs this week that were almost worth their weight In gold. They are destined for Europe. Two Atchison boys have Issued a pathetic little song entitled "I'm Wait ing Here for Daddy." Incidentally they are also waiting for the cash returns. Wichita and Leavenworth papers have been so busy explaining "how it happened" in their own towns the last few days that they have actually for gotten to abuse Topeka for a time. Rabbit3 are so plentiful in Hoxie county that the farmers slay them by C,47 m m m That Is what is required by every organ of the body, for the proper per formance of Its functions.

Until the legislature makes an appro priation for necessary postage the new biennial report of the board of agricul ture cannot be mailed. Postage for the biennial reports is always provided by a special appropriation, and if made promptly early in the session farmers receive their books in the winter season, when they have time to read and get the good of them. Under a suspension of the rules, the senate this morning passed an appropriation bill covering postage, etc., for the sending out of this valuable voluitie, and it is hoped the house will give the matter as prompt favorable attention. Until then, how ever, those wishing the report will need to send the secretary of the board 30 cents in stamps, the receipt of which will insure the sender a copy forthwith. KEYIN HAS RESIGNED. Arthur Wells Succeeda Him aa Man ager of "Western Santa Fe Lines. Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 23. It was stated today here that important changes anl promotions will take place in the management of all the Santa Fe railway lines west of this city to the Pacific coast. W. G. Nevin has re signed as general manager, and Arthur G. Wells, the general superintendent, will be appointed in his stead. J: E. Hurley, who was the division superin tendent of the New Mexico and Rio Grande divisions of the Santa Fe proper, will take the place made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Wells. Speculation is going on now as to who will take Mr. Hurley's place, and the names of F. O. Fox and J. F. McNally, division and as sistant division superintendents, are be ing mentioned. It is understood here that other im portant changes in the western lines are in contemplation by J. M. Barr, third vice president of the Santa Fe system. Mr. Barr, wiih Mr. Hurley, the new general superintendent, went west over the Santa Fe Pacific this morning. i LOOK OCT FOR COLD. Mercury la Expected to Take a Drop Tonight. According to the forecast the ther mometer will take a tumble tonight and cold weather may be expected. The forecast is "fair tonight and Thursday. Colder tonight." The storm which is moving east in the northern states is expected to bring the colder weather. The maximum temperature up to noon today was 42 and the minimum 35.

FATE OF OLD OVERCOATSr From the Chicago Tribune. "Where do the old overcoats go?" is a query that is a natural successor to the old riddle, "where do the flies go in winter?" The old overcoats seem some how to fade away, no one knows just how. The overcoat starts its career on the back of its owner who paid $45 for it. It keeps him warm and shelters him from cold winds and from storms until it commences to get frayed at the edges and the pockets are torn down the sides. Then the owner uses the coat for rainy days only, and no more does he take it to call on his fiancee or to recline on the back of a chair while he is reading at the club. He keeps it another summer and the moths get into it, and when he takes it out in the fall it has holes here and there. So the owner gives it to the janitor if the janitor is not a cold, haughty man, and the janitor wears it awhile until his wife gives it to the tramp who wheeled out the three bar rels of ashes. The tramp wears it until the old coat commences, to fall apart. Then he gives it to another tramp, and it falls apart still more. And then, some day, the coat has entirely disap peared. No one knows how or when. The coat just simply faded away. That's all anybody knows about it. An Artist's Appeal For the Birds. I J Abbott H. Thaver In By the Wayside. The birds of the whole world, the beau tiful beings worshiped by the Japanese, and which we also shall worship per haps too late, are being literally exter minated, species by species, largely to furnish trimmings for women's bonnets. Those who wish to prevent this should see to it that no milliner puts upon their headgear any wild bird's feathers. (Os triches are now domesticated and bred for their feathers, which are cut off with out injury to the birds.) Learn to recog- nize tne aigrettes, wnicn nave cost tne lives of thousands of white herons, even in the form of square-cut base of a long, slender plume. Remember that each woman has a share in deciding the fate of the species threatened. Remember, too, that no fragment of a natural organ ism, such as even a beautiful feather, can be an ideal decoration anywhere but where it grew. For humanity the work of human hands Is the true decoration. To join the Audubon society and obey its Instructions plainly helps the cause of the birds.

Forty-one feet corner of Grant and Topeka avenue. See Proudfit. John Powers, the North Topeka cattle dealer, had occasion to go to Oakland yesterday, and as he was afraid to trust his horse, which easily shies, under the Santa Fe railroad bridge, he took the Fourth street route, and was compelled to cross fifteen railroad tracks to get to his objective point. Mr. Powers thinks this should be a fair illustration to show what a great convenience the proposed new Oakland-North Topeka bridge will prove to be. The Santa. Fe shop men who live in North Topeka are greatly interested in the proposed new annex to the Santa Fe railroad bridge, as it will add greatly to their eafety and convenience in going to and from their work. They have all signified their willingness to make a contribution to the fund, according to their mean3. They think that a com mittee composed of men like M. C. Hol man, D. J. Hathaway and A. M. Baird would soon push this matter and secure the needed improvement. At the meeting Tuesday afternoon of the W. T. K. club, at the home of Mrs. W. S.

The school teacher referred to in the following story from the Kansas City Journal does not belong to the public schools here according to Superinten dent Davidson and who she is remains a mystery: A Topeka school teacher made an en tertaining witness in Judge Henry's court room yesterday in the divorce suit of Zue M. Bell against W. H. Bell. She left her school room and came to Kansas City in order to help her friend and for mer chum secure the divorce. Her quaint diction and copious vocabulary, combined with a peculiar quiet, gentle tone of voice, amused Judge Henry and the court room spectators as much as the description she gave of Mr. Bell's irascible temper. He quarreled at ev erything, she said, and once she saw him throw a large beefsteak flat upon the floor. Mrs. Bell looked her husband straight in the face when she took the witness stand and said: "I have never had any ill feelings against Mr. Bell and haven't now." She said he was so cross and so given to fault finding that it was simply Im possible for her to live with him. The school teacher put her arm about Mrs. Bell after Judge Henry had grant ed the divorce and said to Judge Henry: "I never wanted her to marry him, judge." Four Millions Gold Exports. New York.

Zimmer's naturalization was immedi ately postponed until the naturalization bureau is officially informed of the queen's death and the successor to the throne of England formally announced. The last British subject to forswear al legiance to the queen in this city is John J. Fallon. Chariea D. Pierce, consul general of the Grange State and treasurer of the Boer relief fund in this country last night expressed "great sympathy with that portion of the British people that has uniformly during tbe war in South Africa espoused the cause of the re publics." He said that the jueen, "who was possessed in the highest degree with these christian sentiments that iiad un derlain the whole course of her reign wa"s forced into the war by the malign influences of a Chamberlain and a M li ner, who by systematic misrepresenta tion kept the truth from her." Of the Boers he said "They have always be lieved, that the queen was their friend." LIVELY FIRE BUGS. Thej Pass Through Topeka Learing a Trail of Ashes. AN OATH INTERRUPTED. Naturalization of an Englishman Postponed by Queen's Death. New York. Jan. 23. A man who gave the name of Henry Zimmer applied to the naturalization bureau in the county court house for his final naturalization papers. Zimmer said he was an Eng lishman. clerk IjOos started to administer the usual oaui to Zimmer, and had sot so Four fires, which appeared to be the work of incendiaries, were discovered last night and from 8:30 until after one o'clock the fire department was kept re sponding to alarms and working at fires. The first fire was in the large brick barn at Second and Western avenues belonging to J. W. Farnsworth. The fire was discovered by Harry Ashby who saw the names in the loft. When the department arrived Chief Wiimarth with hose company No. 4 went up the ladders on the Inside of the barn to the loft which wa3 in flames. The firemen were driven out by the heat and smoke and had to fight the fire from the out side. Owing to the fir hydrants being so far away only one line'could be laid for some time. Finally hose company No. 2 laid their line through fences and across a field and managed to get a sec ond stream on the fire. The fire was stopped at the floor of the loft and beiow that the barn was not burned. A call from box 45 called the depart ment at 10:45 to Tenth avenue and Gar field street where "Campbell court." used as the Lowman Hill school was on fire. The companies from station No. 4 and No. 2 responded and the ladder truck from No. 3. When the department arrived the fire was coming through the roof at the rear. A line of hose was laid from Tenth and Buchanan streets. No. 2 and-No. 4 laid each 1,000 feet but no water could be gotten on the fire un til No. 3 hose company responded to a call from the chief. When 2,150 feet of hose had been laid the firemen managed to get one stream on the fire which by that time enveloped the entire upper part of the building. The lower part of the walls were saved but the buikMng is nearly destroyed. "If we had had a hydrant within reasonable distance," said Chief Wiimarth, "we would have stopped the fire In a short time when we first arrived." The loss to the city of the furniture in the building will be about S50O. The Lowman Hill school building was burned by incendiaries laat spring. While the firemen were still working at the Lowman Hill fire they heard the fire whistle and on looking round dis covered a fire at 218 Taylor street in a barn beioEging to Chaa. Seagraves. No. 1 chemical had relieved No. 2 chemical at the school fire and No. 2 chemical responded to the fire on Taylor street. The chemical arrived before the other companies but could not check the fire which completely enveloped the barn and spread to a barn across the alley belonging to E. Weaterfield. Hose com pany No. 1 in North Topeka was the only company in quarters and responded. Ho3e company No. 3 was ordered from the school house fire to the barn fire. The Seagraves barn was completely destroyed. The truck company respond ed to the barn fire also. The fourth fire was the bam belonging to Sanitary Officer Miller at 1307 Lincoln street and was endangered by fire by an incendiary who set fire to an out building close to the bam. The neigh bors discovered the fire before it gained great headway and extinguished it with out calling the department. Chief Wiimarth said that the fires set last night were not done by children but that many of the incendiary fires have been set by children. He warns all own ers of barns to keep the doors fastened and especlf l'y the hay loft doors. Superintendent Davidson says that the scholars from Lowman Hill school can be accommodated only at JacKeon and Polk schools. NETER, TOTE TO HANG. Representative C. F. Orattan Opposed to Capital Punishment. TKe Toung People's Good Citizenship federation held a meeting- last r.ight at the English Lvitheran church. C. F. Grat tan. representative from McPherson was to have delivered an extended address, but on account of a cold his remarks were short. What Mr. Grattan did say was mora along the line of capital pun ishment than of temperance. "If I tand alone, I shail oppose the enactment of a law establishing capital punishment," was the conclusion of his speech. He spoke with much earnestness, thousrh. at times it was difficult to understand what he was saying on account of the hoarseness of his voice. Mr. H. R. Hilton spoke for a few min utes of the progress of the organization. "We have made great strides in the la?t two years," said he. "Last fall we in duced about 3.ii0 Republicans to scratch the ticket. At first we were the laughing stock of the practical politicians, but now ail the candidates are seeking our en dorsement." Ptelattng some incidents of his trip to Irelajid last summer, he said: "I saw more drunken men there In half an hour than I have sn in. Kansas in thirty-six years. We have a .better condition here thaji they have there, and we do not want to sso back to those conditions." F. P. Lindsay made a short address ar raigning state and county officials of Kansas for allowing violation of the pro hibitory law to go on. The Rev. H. A. Ott. pastor of the Eng lish Lutheran church, made a compari son of conditions in Topeka and Quinry, III. Referring to the workc of Mrs. Na tion he said: "I can't see how Mrs. Na tion can be prosecuted." The reports of committees and semi annual election of officers occupied the remainder of the time. The election re suited as follows: President, K. R. Simon: first vice president, W. T. Perry: second vice president. W. J. Stovall: third vice president. S. G. Zimmerman: fourth vice president. James BrinsmaJd: ffth vice nresider.t. Ray Carle: secretary. George 1. Thatcher: corresponding secretary, Leon Thorpe; treasurer, H. H. Graves. THEY WAST 2TKIXLEY.

The elec tions committee of the senate completed the counting of the ballots in the Ross-Findlay contest in the Thir-ty-iifth senatorial district Tuesday eve ning. The district comprises Stafford. Rice and Barton counties and 9.000 votes were counted showing a difference from the original count of only 3 votes. This leaves Ross" majority 72 in the district. The talk made by Mr. Brown, the attorney- for Findlay about tisu paper ballots, turned out to be a "bluff." The paper was purchased from Mr. Crane and was not as heavy as some of the paper used in the ballots, but the differ ence was slight and the paper was ap proved before being used by the secre tary of state. The attorneys for Findlay have not piven up the fight but they have weak ened as they have failed to prove a single claim made in their petition. They now base their hopes upon being able to throw- out three townships in Barton county. The townships picked by the attorneys are Lakin. Cheyenne and Buffalo and gave Mr. Ross a ma jority of about 200. If these townships can be thrown out Findlay will be de clared elected. The attorneys claim that the election boards in these townships were not legally organized as there were no Re I ubiiean clerks on the boards. The Re publicans were given a judge but in all the townships the Republicans were in a minority the Democrats and Populists liaving each more voters, so the clerks were chosen from the two majority par- teis. The question of the legality of the boards will come up this evening oc in the morning. Three witnesses for Findlay are here nr!d will testify before the committee this afternoon regarding alleged irregu larities and twenty witnesses for Tioss wiil be here tomorrow and will then be examined. So far the case has all been favorable to Ross. STOP PATENT MEDICINE SHOWS That Is the Purpose of Gearhart Johnson's BUI.

The warrant for Neely's extradition was received today from the secretary of state. ENSHROUDED IN GLOOM. British Embassy at Washington Shows No Outward Signs of Life. Washington, Jan. 23. The British em bassy is enshrouded in gloom today and the heavy hangings of black within and without the stately old mansion give tribute to the memory of the departed queen. The British flag hangs at half mast above the porte cochere fronting the. building. Around the royal arms which top the portico hang heavy mas ses of black and from the large columns are draped long bands of crape. All the curtains of the embassy are drawn and the entire place presents an aspect of silence and mourning. Lord Pauncefote remains in retire ment w ith his family and staff most of the time, only occasionally seeing some distinguished caller who comes to pas'" a tribute of respect and condolence. These condolences have come in the most abundant form, and testify to the widespread feeling which the death of the queen has awakened in all classes. They come in the forma of notes, tels graphic messages and cards, running in to the hundreds, beside the many per sonal calls which the officials of the government and of the diplomatic corps have paid. The sentiment of this government was the first- to express itself in the calls of the entire membership of President Mc Kinley's cabinet, including Secretaries Hay, Gage, Long, Wilson, Hitchcock, Attorney General Griggs and Postmas ter General Smith, and the leaving of cards from Secretary Root, who is con fined to his homa The British officials throughout the country also have taken occasion -to send their expressions of grief. The official announcement of the gov ernment as to the procedure to be fol lowed has not come. For the time being there is little to do but testify In si lence to the affliction which has come upon the British nation and then to tako up the business under the new- sov ereign. Lord Pauncefote and his family attend St. John's Episcopal church on Lafayette Square, fronting the White House, which will be the place of com memorative exercises, if any are direct ed from London. The rector of the church. Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, called on the embassador to tender the use of the church for this purpose, but in the unsettled condition of arrangements, no final reply could be given. There had been some doubt among the British olfi eials here, whether parliament would be immediately assembled), but the an nouncements from London appear to make this certain. Lord Pauncefote is a member of the house of lords, but it is hardly expected that it will be neces sary for him to go to London to attend the session undpr the new sovereign and to receive the new credentials of ambas sador from King Edward VII. DROPPED IT. Quit Coffee and Got Well; "My breakfast never seemed com plete without coffee, but the stomach became gradually weakened, although I had no idea of the cause. An hour or so after eating, a dull aching pain would come in my stomach and sick headache set up. This misery would continue two or three hours, increasing to an intense burning pain, until re lieved by vomiting, then I would quick ly recover. "These attacks grew more frequent, and the pain more intense, until it be gan to affect my general health. I tried many remdies for strengthening my stomach, until I finally noticed that the much loved coffee appeared to have a wooden taste, and I concluded to see what effect leaving it off would have, "In a short time, the sick, aching at tacks ceased entirely, gradually my stomach regained its vigor. I began drinking Postum Food Coffee and I dis covered by experiment that it has a delicious crisp coffee taste, and yet I could drink all I wanted of it, without any oppression; on the contrary, it gave me a well fed, nourished and lightened feeling, instead of the old oppression. "My general health has been greatly improved and I am able to eat, without fear, many things I dared not attempt before. I am grateful that someone has found, so satisfactory a beverage. It is already a. boon to thousands who have been troubled with coffee drinking, and there are yet thousands who, if they knew the cause of their trouble, would get well by leaving oflt coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.

The Telegraaf says: "Poor queen, on whom the Nemesis of history will avenge the crime of her ministers, which she could not prevent." A FATEFUL MONTH. January Has Proved Disastrous to Royal Family of England. New Tork, Jan. 23. A dispatch to the Tribune irora London says: The Duke of York will not necessarily become the Prince of Wales, now that his lather has ascended .the throne. '1 ne principality was granted by Edward I to liis son. afterward Kdward II, and his heirs, kings of England. Consequently, when the Prince of Wales succeeds to the throne his princely title merges in his sovereignty. The new sovereign's eldest son is still Duke of York, but he becomes also Duke of Cornwall, this title descend ing to him from his father. It is gener ally assumed that the king wiil immedi ately confer his principality upon him, as it is within his prerogative so to do. The period during which mourning is worn for the sovereign of the realm is usually three months, full mourning being worn fight weeks. The king can, how ever, prolong the duration of tile period and nothing has yet been definitely decid ed in regard to this matter. All social- functions will be suspended during the next six months, and there w ill be no London season. Country house pleasures will be suspended and the Eng lish upper classes will go to the conti nent until the period of gloom has ended. Ultimately London will be a gayer capi tal than ever. The opening of the new reign will in volve many changes in social England. It is expected that the king wiil reside at Windsor during the early months of his reign, and that the Duke of York will occupy Sandringham. but that ulti mately their chief residences will be Buckingham palace and Marlborough house. There has been a general belief that the queen was one of the richest of sov ereigns and that she would leave an im mense estate to her heirs. It is stated that there will be much astonishment when the amount of her personality is shown by the provisions of her will. In stead of being very great, it will prove to be of moderate value and all estimates of her private fortune will be found fal lacious. The truth seems to be that the queen, like other rich people, had a great number of relatives dependent upon her and that she was compelled from time to time to pay their debts and extricate them from embarrassments. The reading of the queen's last will and testament may in volve one of the most remarkable sur prises of her reign. One of her executor is Lord Gross, whom she honored with her friendship and in whose business ability she had implicit confidence. January hits been a fateful month in the life of the English royal family. It is a singular coincidence that Queen Vic toria passed away on the eighty-first an niversary of the death of her father, the Duke of Kent, which event occurred just six days before the death of his father, George HI, in 1820. It was on January 30, 1S96, that Prince .Henry of Battenburg passed away, and it was also in January that the Duke of Clarence, the direct heir to the throne in the second generation, came to his untimely end. CLOSING SCENES. Last Hours on Earth of England's Queen Described in Detail. Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 23. Queen Victoria is dead, and Edward VII reigns. The greatest event in the memory of this generation, the, most stupendous change in existing conditions that could possibly be imagined has taken place quietly, almost gently, upon the anni versary of the death of Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent. The end of this career, never equaled by any woman in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osborne house. This most respected of all women, living or dead, lay in a great four-posted bed and made a shrunken atom whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who in 1837 began to rule over England. Around her were gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within view of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the prince consort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words the white-haired Bishop of Win chester prayed beside her as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruier of the German empire and the man who is now King of England, the woman who has succeeded to the title of queen, the princes and princesses, and those of less royal designation, listened to the bish op's ceaseless prayer. Six o'clock passed. The bishop continued his intercession. One of the younger children asked a question in shrill, childish treble, and was immediately silenced. The women of the royal family sobbed faintly and the men shuffled uneasily. At exactly half past 6 Sir James Reid held up his head, and the people in the room knew that England had lost her queen. The bishop pronounced the benediction. The queen passed away quite peace fully. She suffered no pain. Those who were now mourners went to their rooms. A few minutes later the inevitable ele ment of materialism stepped into this pathetic chapter of international history for the court ladies went busily to work ordering their mourning from London. The wheels of the world were jarred when the announcement came, but in this palace at Osborne everything pur sued the usual course. Down in the kitchen they were cooking a huge dinner for an assemblage the like of which has seldom been known in England, and the dinner preparations proceeded Just as if nothing had happened. The body of Queen Victoria was em balmed and will probably be taken to Windsor Saturday. The coffin arrived last evening from London. An incident characteristic of the queen's solicitude for others occurred two days ago when in one of the inter vals of consciousness she summoned strength to suggest to her dressers, who had been acting as nurses, to take the opportunity of getting some fresh air. Monday afternoon she asked that her little pomeranian. spaniel be brought to her bedroom. It was thought that the queen was dying about 9 o'clock in the evening and carriages were sent to the Osborne cottage and the rectory to bring all the princes and princesses and the Bishop of Winchester to her bedside. It seemed then very near the end, but when things looked the worst the queen had one of the rallies due to her won derful constitution, opened her eyes and recognized the Prince of Wales, the princes and Emperor William. She asked to see one of her faithful serv ants, a member of the household. He hastened to the room, but before he got there the queen had passed into a fitful sleep. Four o'clock marked the begin ning of the end. Again the family were summoned, ?nd this time the relapse was not followed by recovery. The Prince of Wales was very much affected when the doctors at last Informed him that his mother had breathed her last. Emperor William, himself deeply affect ed, did his best to minister comfort to his sorrow-stricken uncle, whose new dignity he was the first to acknowledge. From all parts of the world there are still pouring into Cowes messages of condolence. They come from crowned heads. millionaires. tradesmen and paupers, and are variously addressed to the Prince of Wales and the King of England. Emperor William's arrangements are not settled. His yacht will arrive here today (Wednesday), but it is believed that he will not depart until after the funeral. Several other royal personages are likely to be present at the function. The record of the last days of the reign of Victoria is not easy to tell. The cor respondent of the Associated Fress was the only correspondent admitted to Os borne house, and his interview with Sir Arthur John Biggs, private secretary to the late queen, waa the only official statement that has been given out. For several weeks the queen had been fail ing. On Monday week she Bummoned Lord Roberts and asked him some very searching- questions regarding the war in South Africa. On Tuesday she went for a drive, but was visibly affected. On Wednesday she suffered a paralytic stroke, accompanied by intense physical weakness. It was her first illness in all her eighty-one years, and she would not admit it. Then her condition grew so serious that, against her wishes, the family were summoned. When they ar rived here her reason had practically succumbed to paralysis and weakness. Th'e events of the last few days, de scribed in the bulletins, are too fresh to need repetition. At the lodge gates the watchers -waited nervously. Suddenly along the drive from the house came a horseman, who cried "The queen is dead," as he dashed through the crowds. Then down the hillside rushed a myriad of messengers passing the fateful bul letin from one to another. Soon the sur rounding countrv knew that a king ruled over Great Britain. The local inhabi tants walked as if in a dream through the streets of Cowes, but they did not hesitate to stop to drink the health of the new monarch. The news was received with the great est sorrow at Balmoral, Windsor and Eton, where Queen Victoria was re garded in a specially personal manner by the inhabitants. Princess Beatrice telegraphed the tid ings to former Empress Eugenie, at Farnborough. Telegrams have been dispatched to all mebers of the house of commons urg ing them to attend at St. Stephen's to day. A special order has been issued by the war office discontinuing all bugle and drum calls until further notice. BESIDE HEB, HUSBAND Victoria's Remains "Will Find Their Final Resting Place. New York, Jan. 23. A dispatch to the World from London says: All the royalty of Europe will gather at the funeral of Queen Victoria, The assemblage will be unprecedented, be cause her majesty was closely related to the European courts, big and little. The queen will in all probability be buried within ten days at Frogmore mausoleum, which she erected over the prince consort in Windsor park. In former days a month would be al lowed to elapse between the death and the burial of the sovereign. For one day the body of the queen will lie in state in Waterloo chamber. Wind sor castle. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock at night, with the utmost pomp and ceremony in St. George's chapel. In addition to the Emperor of Ger many, it is expected that the kings of Denmark, Greece, Belgium, Servia, Sax ony and Portugal will attend, together with many lesser rulers. All England will participate in the funeral of the queen. From the time the sad ceremonies begin at Osborne House until the body is buried at Frog more, there will be funeral and memor ial services throughout the English speaking world. There has been no burial of a sov ereign in England for nearly 4 years. Since the obsequies of William Fourth, the world has moved forward so far that even the funeral of a British mon arch will be utterly unlike that of any that has gone before. It is believed that a simple ceremony will be held at Osborne House and that the body of the queen will then be plac ed in the royal yacht and conveyed tc Portsmouth. A funeral train will take the royal dead and the mourning family to Lon don. At the stations along the route the crape-covered train will be met by the mourning people with bared heads. It will arrive at Victoria station. The members of the metropolis will lay aside the ordinary duties and pleasure for the day. All places of amusement and of gain will be closed and all the populace will gather to mourn the queen and do her honor. The funeral procession will form at the railway station and proceed to Pad dington station, and the last stage of the journey to Frogmore will be begun. In the grounds of Frogmore, not far from Windsor castle on the left hand side of the long walk is the magnificent mausoleum containing all that is mor tal of the prince consort. This building cruciform in shape and Romanesque in style, cost $1,000,000, the. amount having been provided by her majesty herself. It was consecrated in 1862 a year after the prince's death. He was at first laid to rest in St. George's chapel Windsor. In the ornate octagonal chamber of the Frogmore mausoleum, 30 feet in di ameter and 65 feet high is a double sarcophagus of dark gray granite, rest ing on polished black marble. It bears a recumbent statue of Prince Albert ex ecuted in white marble by Marochetti and at each corner is the bronze figure of a kneeling angel. The queen will be buried here, beside the dust of her "great and good hus band," whose los3 she never ceased to mourn. PEAYEES FOB, THE QUEEN Ordered by the Pope in All the Churches of Borne. New York, Jan. 23. A dispatch to the World from Rome says: The pope, who has been constantly in formed of the condition of the queen, re ceived the news of her death through Cardinal Rampolla. His eminence said not a word, but dropped on his knees to prav, remaining in that attitude for a considerable time. Afterward he gave or ders that in ail churches prayers for the queen be offered up tomorrow. The pope will be represented at the funeral by Cardinal Vaughn. DRAPED IN MOURNING. Well-Known New York Firms Show Sympathy. New York, Jan'. 23. The news of the death of Queen Victoria was received in this city with the sorrow due to so momeatus an event in the history of the British empire. The buildings of J. P. Morgan Co., bankers, and the two buildings of the Mutual Life Insurance compacy.are being appropriately draped with mourning symbols. Owners of oth er buildings are following the example set by these leading institutions. WALES LEAVES COWES. Embarks on the Royal Yacht For Journey to London. Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 23. :30 a. m. The morning opened dull and threaten ing and the town bears a miserable as pect. Everywhere the blinds are drawn and black is displayed. There is scarcely a -sign of life anvwhere except at Trinity pier, where there is a constant inter change of signals between the royal yacht Alberta, which lies alongside the pier, and the yacht Osborne, aboard of which some members of the royal family still remain. A message just received from Osborne house says Emperor-William's plans are as yet unknown, but it is believed that he will not leave today. The Alberta had steam up ail night and now has a big awning fixed in readiness to proceed for Portsmouth at 9:40 o'clock, with the king, the Duke of York, Mr. Balfour and. the Earl of Clarendon on board, to catch a special train for London at 11 o'clock. The royal yacht Alberta has received orders to be in readiness to convey the queen's remains to the mainland. The transfer of her majesty's body will, it is believed, take place soon. The coffin will be placed on the main deck athwartships, just in front Sf the structure known as the queen's canopy, in which her majesty was in the' habit of sitting during her trips on the yacht. The -coffin will be placed on a spot marked on the deck with a brass cross, where the coffin of Prince Henry of Battenburg also rested. The king and the Duke of York will re turn to Osborne house. The route from Osborne house to Trin ity pier was deserted except for a few groups of bareheaded persons when at 9:40 o'clock three open carriages drawn bv white horses galloped down the hill. In the first carriage were the king, the Duke of Connaught. the Duke of York and Prince Christian. The king looked well and bowed repeatedly In acknowledg ment of the greetings of his subjects. The royal personages immediately embarked on the Alberta. The royal standard was hoisted as the king touched the deck. As tne AiDerta started off, signals were shown ordering that no salutes be fired. The crews of the cruiser Australia and the other royal yachts were mustered as the Alberta steamed by. The commence, ment of the king's first voyage was a memorable and impressive event. S0THERN IN A FIRE. Opera House Burns While lie -Is Flaying Hamlet. Cincinnati, Jan. 23. The Grand Opera HcAise was last night totally destroyed by fire, except its outer walls. The play set for the night was "Hamlet" by the E. JL Sothern company. Owing to its great length the play began at 7:45 p. rn. The house was packed by a bril liant 'audience. The first act had been finished and in the second Mr. Sothern acting the part of Hamlet had spoken but a few lines when a slight disturb ance was observed in the orchestra seats about fourth row from the orchestra on the south side of the center aisle. It was caused by a slight issue of smoke at that point. An usher went down the aisle and quietly asked the people to be seated, saying there was nothing wrong Mr. Sothern at this point stepped to the front of the stage and also assured the audience that everything was right. To further remove apprehension Mr. Soth ern resumed his part but before he had spoken two lines the smoke issued in such volumes that there was a spon taneous movement of the people in its vicinity. Without further order or sug gestion or advice one of the most re markable scenes ever witnessed in a crowded auditorium took place. It was as if the whole situation had been re vealed to every person in the house and without a single shout or anything else indicating a leader, dispersal of the au dience began and was carried out with as much order and composure as if no such thing as fire had ever been known In the lower part of the house the abundant passage of Vine street gave an easy egress to the greater part of the audience. A large number seated near the orchestra were assisted by the actors and actresses to mount the stage and to make their exit by the stage door on Longworth street. Mr. Sothern estimates his loss at $30, 000. His company was compelled to reach the streets clad in their costumes and to lose the greater portion of their personal effects left in the theater. As late as 10 o'clock the upper part of the Vine street front, was still burning. This portion of the building was occupied by the Cincinnati gymnasium, which had a costly equipment. Adjoining the rear of the opera house, separated by the alley, is the large Butler building. The fire entered this at the upper stories and the roof and the two upper floors of that building were practically destroyed. The upper portion of the Gifts engine house, which adjoins the Butler building, was seriously damaged by the fire. It is estimated that the lessees, Ran forth Havelin, had an interest in the building representing their outlay in fitting it up, amounting to $30,000 or $40, 000. The principal losers in the Butler building are the American Engraving company, Achort Henkel Engraving company, who occupy the upper floor, the Bruner Woolen company, on the next floor, and S. Rosenthal, printer, Protocor Collin, advertising. Max Woocher Son, Rauch Goldsmith, Silver, optician. The loss to the greater number is from water. The Isen Music company report a loss of $25,000. The los3 to the others will probably reach $75,000 to $100,000. There was no insur ance on the Grand opera house build ing, on which the loss is $200,000. Mrs. Charles P. Taft is the owner. The the ater will be rebuilt. Mr. Sothern an nounced that he expected to meet his next engagement at Detroit as usual. t POLICEMAN arrested. W. II. Carpenter Charged With Defrauding Woman. Officer W. H. Carpenter, of the police force, was arrested Tuesday on a com plaint sworn out by Annie Leonard, charging him with the embezzlement of $421. Mrs. Leonard claims that in August, 1900, she gave to Carpenter $450 to keep for her. She has a receipt from Car penter which is to the effect that he received the money and would return it at any time she wanted it. He gave her $29, but says he refuses to return any more to her. The charge against Car penter was filed in the city court yester day" and the arrest made yesterday af ternoon. Carpenter gave bond for his appear ance. Carpenter claims that Mrs. Leonard gave him the money to keep, and afterwards told him to lend it for her. Carpenter says he followed her in structions, and loaned it to his brother in Colorado. Mrs. Leonard received the money as pension belonging to her hus band. Carpenter recently bought the hotel at Fourth and Quincy streets now known as the Midland, and now oper ates the place. Carpenter was removed from the police force last spring, but was reinstated. Lady Canvassers Wanted. For The Mechanician, the new maga zine, can easily make from $2 to $10 a day.

WHEAT The wheat market has been erratic, selling early at the 74c point, at which price there ap peared a demand from the seaboard.

The primary receipts were again In excess of last year. Flour demand, as reported front the northwest, was slack. The weather, however, has been of a very good growing character, "but snow- and general moisture is lacking. Traders have evened up pretty well and with no Liver pool market open they will drift along with the news. CORN Corn ruled firm and closed at about best prices, lc higher than yester day. There were no cables, but neverthe less a good inquiry existed at the seaboard and a considerable shipping business was accomplished here. Local bulls continued to buy. The real strength in the market was reflected by the improved cash de mand. Receipts were 35 cars, with 250 cars estimated for tomorrow. OATS Oats have been steady. Provision people have been the buyers. It looks as if the leading longs, recently selling. hali been taking back oats. Receipts were 155 cars: estimated for tomorrow. 155 cars.

The other stclion will lie from Fiji to Fan nine islnrid. and thence to Vancouver. 15. C V hen cmjileted it is anticipated this cable will materially reduce the existing- charges to the United States. The route decided upon is from Van couver by way of Fanning or Palmyra island, Fiji and Norfolk islands, with branches from the last-named station to Auckland, New Ze-aland, and Queens land. The length of the cable over this route would be (allowing 10 per cent, for "alack" actually used) 7.:6 nautical miie?, as follows: Vancouver to Fanning Island, 3.5tU miles: Faxininsr island to Fiji, 2.0WJ miles: Fiji to Norfolk island, P61 ml!; Norfolk island to New Zea land, 547 miles, and Norfolk island to Quetsland.

Oreat Britain and Canada have agreed to defray five- ninths of the total cost; New Zealand, one-eighth, and New South Wales.

It is propos-M to -charge 73 cents' a word for mossasres rljrht through that-is. crossinir Canada an 1 the At lantic, in addition to the Pacific and 4 cents for the Pacific cable section.

Spasm of Virtue in ths Senate Which Will Soon Be Over. Senator McMillan, of Ottawa, intro duced a bill this morning which is cal culated to clear the legislature of lobby ists and to stop the issuing of passes and the giving or acceptance of any favors by the members of the legislature.

The bill is as follows: It shall be unlawful for any person to enter upon or be admitted to floor of the house of representatives or senate, when the house or senate is in session, who is an agent or attorney interested in any pending legislation. A professional lobbyist is one who habitually lobbys, importunes, per suades, solicits, requests, urges, bribes, or attempts to bribe, or procures, or at tempts to procure, members of the legis lature to support or oppose measures pending in the legislature in which such person is interested as agent or attor ney or otherwise, or to abstain from or omit to act for or against any measure pending in the legislature. It shall be unlawful for any person to be or act as a professional lobbyist. It shall' be unlawful for any person who is an agent or attorney for or in terested in any legislation pending in the legislature, to offer, promise, give or furnish to any member of the legis lature, any money, property, railway pass or transportation, or other favor or thing of value, and the fact of making such offer or promise, or of so giving or furnishing any such money, property, railway pass, transportation, or other favor or thing of value, shall be prima facie evidence that the person Bp giving or furnishing or so offering or promis ing, is interested in legislation pending1 before Uie legislature.

Ill PUBLIC FAVOR. A Remedy For the Cure of Piles Which Has Met With Re markable Success. There are many popular medicines that are known in every household in America. There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics, headache powders, dyspepsia cures and cough cures which are sold in every drug store. But all of these must divide popular ity with many rivals, no one remedy has the field to itself, with the single ex ception of pile cures for it is a singular fact, that among the host of remedies, there is but one pile cure that can be considered as having a national reputa tion, wtthout a rival and the remedy re ferred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure, which for seven years has steadily worked into public favor, by reason of its extraordinary merit and a method and a record of remarkable cures, untii it is known from Maine to California and from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mex ico. It 13 true there are many pile remedies having a small local reputation for a year or two but the Pyramid Pile Cure" has rapidly supplanted them all and really has the field to itself when any thing like national popularity is consid ered. The explanation is simple. It is be cause piles is in no sense an imaginary trouble, that a simple salve or ointment will cure, but an obstinate, painful and often dangerous trouble and a remedy to give satisfaction must possess posi tive and very apparent merit, A person suffering from piles will not experiment for months with a remedy; it must give relief and a cure in short order or it is condemned. The worst cases of piles are relieved on the first application, and being in suppository form is convenient to use and cures without interfering with daily occupation. Medical men use it in preference to surgical operations because it is so safe and painless, and the cost, compared to benefit given is a mere trille as all drug gists sell it at 50 cents. If suffering from any form of piles!, bleeding, itching or protruding a trial of the Pyramid Pile Cure, wiil cure you and add another to its thousands of friends.

FAI11IA.11 IX KANSAS CITY. Tc-pekaFaith Missionaries Make Their First Halt. Rev. Chas. F. Parham. the leader of the Aoostolic sect, who left Topeka with a. small banri of believers and followers im a missionary tour of the United states and Canada, were in Kansas City last nisrht, where they held a meet ing in Uethfl chapel, 1675 Madison street. The Kansas City Journal con tainers a very lengthy account of the met'thig. That paper said: "In many respects it recalled an old fashioned Methodist prayer meeting, but It had its peculiarities. Rev. Mr. Par ham preached, expounding the beliefs of his sect, and then the students and other members of the congregation be gan to "prophesy.' "To 'prophecy' and to 'speak with tongues' are, in the language of Rev. J.Ir. Parham and his followers, two very list.inct propositions. When they 'prohesy' they merely testify to what 1 he Lord has done for them. When they "speak with tongues' they employ gifts with which they are suddenly endowed from on high, speaking numerous dif ferent foreign languages. "Members of the sect were first en dowed with the gift of tongues on the Friday following New Year's day, when tney were waiting on the Lord in their chapel. They had fasted some, prayed imirh, and constantly waited on the Lord. Suddenly tongues of fire began shooting about the room where they were, and seven students spoke in a ide variety of languages. Miss Agnes (uman first received the gift, and she appears to have been rather more lib craly endowed than any of her fellows; t'r. whereas few of them were able then rr since to speak more than a half dozen modern languages, she, by actual count, has been known to speak in twenty different tongues, ancient and modern, living ajid dead. Oriental and Occidental. "Last night neither the marvelously gifted Mis Ozman nor any of the rest wer able to speak anything but Eng lish, and they were obliged to conrine themselves to prophesying. Still, the l-rophecies were sutfjciently remarkable. On good woman told of how. when she 'ad been without money for a week, the J.ird sent to her iust as she wanted to nke a street car ride from Kansas City, Kas.. to Kansas City .a man who was indented to her paid his bill. 'For two years,' spake a tall, angular man. "t have been as much of an infidel as Robert G IngersoM, but tonight the Lord has healed me of my disbelief.' "As the tall, angular man sat down, cries of 'Amen' and 'Praise the Lord" broke from all parts of the house. '".Parham and his followers heal the ..v v in their Topeka institution aa well as instruct the mind. This was evi dently known to a laree healthy looking woman, who prophesied that the devil had ail the day been severely tempting Tier bv attempting to undermine her health. "The devil, she affirmed, "has been trying: to get the best of me by giving trie a cold and making me cough, but by prayer f r healintr I have faith that I mrA be able to fight It off.' was followed by a. tail, tfcia man, sitting on the front row, who had a hacking cough. He said the devil was assailing him with consumption, and asked fur the prayers of the audle-nce. A short, stout woman, with one arm, who sat near the rear, at once arose, to administer healing encouragement to his fainting spirit. 'The gift of tongues was given to the students at Topeka Just shortly after I came away from there,' she said, 'and I wondered why the Lord had not permitted me to stay and get It, too. But, then, I thought "how ungrateful I am to think such things! How much the I-iord has done for me!" Five years ago I was suffering from consumption and Bright's disease, and the doctors said I could not live. I thought and prayed, and finally I gave up all re liance on earthly things and put my faith in the Lord. And, oh, how glo riously He has rewarded my faith! For he has cured me of my consumption and Bright's disease. He has removed the tumor which threatened to take my life, and He has restored the hearing to my deaf ear. I can tell my brother with the consumption the way to cure him self. When the devil tempts him with consumption, he should turn upon him and drive him out as he would drive a Ihiow Olc She ILfOolcs Poor clothes cannot make you look old. Even pale cheeks won't do it. One thing does it, and never fails. It is impossible to look young with the color of seventy years in your hair. Ayer's Hair Vigor perma nently postpones the tell-tale signs of age.

Send for cor beautiful book on The Hair. dog from the house. Oh, then he will be cured of his consumption!" "Neither leader nor students work. They depend entirely upon the Lord to provide. If they exert themselves at all, it is merely to clean up about the big building which they occupy. "All day they sit about, pensively reading their Bibles. They had been praying long for the gift of tongues, when it was suddenly conferred upon them. Miss Ozman, who was the first to receive, says as already indicated that she has talked in twenty foreign languages, and talked in them repeated ly. She is seized with the disposition to discard her own language upon the most trivial occasion. She told of one last night. "A few days ago." she said, solemnly, "I went into a restaurant in Topeka to order a meal. I told the waiter what I wanted, but he could not understand me. Finally, he called in the proprietor, and I told him, and he understood me. It turned out that he was a German, and I had addressed him in his own tongue. The power of the Lord was upon me and I lost power to speak English, and could talk only German." Miss Ozman could not enumerate all the languages she has spoken, but among them, she said, were German, French, Bo hemian, Japanese-and Chinese. "I have spoken to foreigners in their own tongues." she declared, "and they say that I have spoken them perfectly." This is even more than could be truth fully said of her English. The Rev. Mr. Parham and others were asked to explain why no one was "in spired" this is a word they frequently employ to speak with tongues last night. "Oh," was the ready reply,, "we are movwJ at different times by the Lord's spirit, but we never can tell when we will be. This Inspiration is sacred, it is di vine, and it is only given when the soul comes to the Lord hungering, thirsting and panting for truth. If we should try to satisfy the curiosity of others by mak ing a. display of these great gifts, we should incur His anger, and bring dam nation to our souls." The Rev. Mr. Parham says that his sole object is the restoration of the Apostolic faith. He does not intend to establish a church of any kind: he repels the sug gestion. He is confident that he will be successful in his work. He believes he has started a movement which will bring about the millennium, and thinks his is a second voice crying in the wilderness, and preparing the way for the second advent of Christ. His talk and manner, in public and private, are those of a sincere and ex tremely optimistic fanatic. KING IS CONTICTED. Ex-Populist Held Guilty of Contempt in Kansas City. Judge S. S. King, commissioner elections of Wyandotte county, was found guilty of contempt of court by the jury yesterday morning in the district court, Kansas City. Kan. The jury, af ter being out several hours, filed into the court room at 11 o'clock and announced its verdict. It caused great surprise among the spectators and friends of Mr. King, as it was thought by the jury be ing out so long that a verdict could not be reached. Mr. King, however, took the matter very coolly, and stated after the trial that with the judge's instruc tions the jury could not have done otb -erwise. The attorneys for Mr. King gave notice that the case would be appealed to the supreme court. Commissioner King refused to appoint a list of election judges and clerks named by the chairman of the Populist committee last fall, and when Judge Fisher issued a mandamus requiring him to do so, he went to Kansas City, Mo., where he remained for several days. His contention was that the Populist partx was not entitled to representation on the election board, and in defense of the contempt charges he contended that he had made up the election boards before the writ of mandamus was issued by Judge Fischer, or even before the pro ceedings began. RIDGMY RESIGNS. Popular Insurance Official Suc ceeded by O. L. Billings. Charles M. Ridgway, assistant super intendent of insurance, has resigned to accept the position of secretary of Kan sas Millers' association. The associa tion is of the nature of a mutual insur ance company. Ridgway takes the place of Robert Atkinson. O. L. Billings, chairman of the Mar ion county Republican committee suc ceeds Ridgway as assistant superin tendent of insurance. KEAKNS SELECTED. He Will Be tho New United States Senator From Utah. Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 23. Thomas Kearns was nominated by the Republi can caucus last night for United States senator. Thomas Kearna was born In 1S62 and spent his earlier years on a farm in Nebraska and soon thereafter turned his attention to mining, making his efforts in the Black Hills country from which place he came to Utah and located at Park City, when he has just attained his majority. For seen years he worked for wages as a miner in the Ontario mine. His endurance and enterprise were reward ed at last in the acquisition and devel opment of the Silver King, at present one of the greatest silver mines in the world. He is now engaged in the en- Tho Only High Crad Baking Powder Offered at a r.lod erato Price. rpnnrn? Baking jL LJL. JLzLi Powder kqt MADE BY I THE J V TRUST.

Clark, R. C. Kerens of St. Louis and Geo. Leiffhton of New Hampshire. WATCH ill G THE GAL1E. Populist State Committee Unde cided About Future Course. The Populist state central committee met in this city last evening. General discussion was had upon various sub jects of interest to the party, but the outlining of future policies is deferred for the present. Action upon the pro posed anti-fusion bill pending in the legislature is the deterring influence. It was decided to wait until the legislature has recorded its pleasure on the matter of election laws, concluded its business and gone home before active policies are decided upon and put in force. When the Republicans have settled upon their plans of action, the Populists will lay their plans of attack. The afternoon session of the commit tee was held at the National hotel at 4 o'clock. C. B. Hoffman, of Enterprise, presided in the absence of. Congressman E. R. Ridgely. But one member was absent. Carl Vrooman, of Parsons, was the sole absentee. He is in the south of France for his health. The committeemen present were the following: G. W. Harrington, Hiawa tha; Frank Chase, Hoyt; Paul Russell, Paola A. P. Elder, Ottawa; J. R. Charl ton, Caney; G. S. Sallyards, Eureka; J. E. Urie, Lyndon; C. B. Hoffman, Enter prise; H. N. Gaines, Saiina; H. R. Honey, Mankato; C. H. Emmons, Le nora; W. J. Babb, Wichita; Harvey Eckert, Larned. Secretary J. H. Curran made a report on the educational work being carried on, and it was decided to continue along the same line vigorously. The state committee met in joint ses sion with the Reform Press association in the evening, in the office of Bank Commissioner John Breidenthal. The reform editors present were: J. M. Tadlock, Phillipsburg; F. C. John son, Minneapolis; P. F. Tearout, Em poria; George Fullin wider, El Dorado; F. A. Peltret, Topeka: W. F. Stryker, Wellington; George Nettleton, Hutchin son; Frank Chase, Hoyt; G. W. Har rington. Hiawatha; H. N. Gaines, To peka; F. L. Drinkwater, Topeka; Philip Goodreau, Cottonwood Falls; C. B. Har mon. Oskaloosa: E. H. Epperson, Grigs by: William Cook, Oswego. Officers were elected for the next term. H. N. Gaines, of Topeka, was elected president, and C. B. Harmon, of Oska loosa, secretary and treasurer. The next meeting will be heldin Topeka on April 15. A three-hour session was taken up in the discussion -of various plans to im prove their papers. Not only is more efficiency sought, but the improvement of typographical appearance and news features were given attention. One plan adopted was the institution of a cut exchange. P. F. Tearout, of Emporia, proposed this unique idea, and it was received with favor at once. A system of exchange of cuts is arranged between the editors of weeklies, so that with each editor purchasing one cut and carrying out the exchange with fifty-one others a. first-class illustration is as sured for every paper each week. Since the establishment of rural de livery and the energy of the metropoli tan papers curtails the small paper in the matter of giving the news of the world and keeping it fresh, it was de cided that the local features of the papers shall be intensified. Special at tention was therefore recommended on local happenings and abandon effort to compete with the metropolitan papers on general news service. J. M. Tadlock, of Phillipsburg, led this discussion. Other questions relating to direct leg- 3 it ii sf Vtai Lua Li akwal Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest and distress from tortured muscles, aching joints and excited nerves. The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain ing food tbey require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease. Mrs. James Kelt, of 707 Ninth street, N. E., Washington, D. C. writes as follows: "A few months ago I bxdanattack of Sciatic Rheuma tism in its worst form. The nam was so intense that I became completely pros trated. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regard ed as being very danger ous.
