By a Farty Vote His Seat Is Given to W. A. Owen. On top of the report unseating Tim othy Haoketl,, of Bourbon. James Law rence, chairman of the house elections committee, created a sensation by de manding the chapping off of the offi cial head of Grant Hornaday. Lawrence charged Homaday with party treachery in interfering in the Owen-Hackett contest. He told the house that Hom aday had knifed Owen from the time of his nomination and made the demand th'at Governor Stanley kick Homaday. the trouble maker, out of his place on the hoard of charities. Lawrence's speech was vehement and impassioned. -Mr. Speaker: It has come to the ears of this committee." he broke out. "that certain Republicans nave been fighting Mr. Owen from the first. It is a matter that should not be considered by the committee but by the gentlemen of the house. It is something that the world ought to know. I am here to proclaim it. "Mr. Speaker, the contestant In this case was regularly and fairly nominated by the Republicans of the Twenty-first district, but. gentlemen, from the day of his nomination he has been hounded and pursued by disgruntled members of tiis own party. They were not men enough to take fair defeat in conven tion, but knifed Owen at the polls. "This tight was led, Mr. Speaker, by Grant HuniaJay, chairman of the gov ernor's state board of charities. He has been honored by the Republican governor with an executive chair of the state. "This man has caused all the trouble at Fort Scott. Mr. Speaker." shouted Lawrence at tne top of his voice. "Ana Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the iMiuse. we should demand of Governor Stanley that he kick that fellow out. Here on the floor of this house I demand that Governor Stanley put Grant Hom aday out." Lawrence had already talked too long n the proposition to oust Haekett. fiut having? delivered himself of his denunci ation of Hornaday. he returned to the Mjbjeet of the contest and exclaimed, etUI vehemently: "It is not for partisanship that Tim othy Haekett is unseated. There is no senatorial contest and no advantage gained to either party. It is merely be cause the people of that district never elected him!" The house applauded his denunciation cf Grant Hornaday vociferously. Following Lawrence's denouncement cf Grant Hornaday. Bowman of Ander son, spoke in behalf of the minority re port. As far as he clung to the case in hand Lawrence had simply gone over the details of the unique actions of the election affairs. Bow man maintained that Haekett hod Fpecifically charged fraud in other spec ific districts and the Republican excuse against making a full recount was not good. Grosser of Dic kinson, followed and ex plained that an agreement was mad by the attorneys for Haekett to rest satislied with the result of the Third ward recount. They agreed to be satis fied if the whole ward was not thrown ut entirely, he said, which was the oth er alternative. It was mutually decided to not throw the whole ward out. be cause another contest involving these votes was on In the senate. Grosser was given a round of applau-e when he said the Republicans decide! the contest as they did because the Re. publican party stands for purity in elec tions and an honest count. Bowman raised a laugh and approval by the minority by very drylv remark ing: "Mr Speaker, it isn't that our horsa lost the race: he was left at the post by the judges. That's all." Weilep then sooke for- th0 s... Albert Sarbach spoke for the majority and was followed by H. C.

The re port unseating- Mr. Haekett and seating W. A. Owen was adopted. THE COMMITTEE REPORT. Chairman James Lawrence of the elections committee reported to the house this morning the committee's find ings. The majority report seta forth that the election board of the Third ward cf the city of Fort Scott, where fraud was alleged by the contestor, W. A. Owen, was grossly incompetent, that the Democratic judge was sharp, shrewd, domineering and extremely partisan. But the committee declined to disfran chise all the citizens of this ward be cause of the irregularities in the board and ordered a recount. The result of this recount was that Haekett was given a majority of but 21 in the ward, thus losing the district to Owen by 22. The report continues saying that Owen Introduced testimony regarding fraud and illegality which the commit tee rejected. Hackett's attorneys ob jected to this testimony on the ground that it was hearsay. After the recount, as outlined in this report, Hackett's at torneys urged the introduction of testi mony, which the committee, turning the tables, objected to receiving because it was hearsay and irrelevant. The com mittee refused to make a recount of the entire district because it was not shown that there were irregularities alleged against the boards of the other districts. In the evidence filed, the majority points out. that the Republican judge. Harrison Johnson, a colored man, was brow-beaten and compelled to make changes in the tally sheet at the in stance of J. A. Tite, Democratic judge. That, in addition, the board of election took a recess about 5 o'clock in the morning, when the ballot box was lock ed up and the key left in the hands of the Democratic judge. The majority report is subscribed to by- James Lawrence, chairman; J. B. Betts. H. C. Dooley, W. C. Millar. E, Grosser, Alvin Law and Edward Riling. A minority report was also presented by xr. T. Laughlin and E. F. Greene. This report contends that in his an swer limothy Haekett charged that in every voting precinct in the Twenty first district votes were counted for W. A. Owen which should have been count ed for him and some that, should not have been counted at all. It further sets forth that at the conclusion of the recount the committee held an executive session and decided not to admit the evidence which counsel for Haekett had at hand to offer. "We maintain that this was no con test as no trial -was had and only one party was allowed to be heard," says the minority report. The minority insists that in all fair ness, their evidence should be admitted and a recount of the entire district made. It asks that the contest be re ferred back to the committe to be re opened. HOUSE FOE. GOVERNOR. Proposition Receives Favorable Sanc tion in the Senate. The bill to buy or build a residence for the governor was recommended fa vorably today by the ways and means committee of the senate. The bill pro vides that a residence shall be pur chased or built that will not cost more then J 35,000. There has not been heard a word in the senate against this bill, and it will undoubtedly go through both houses without much if any opposition. Senator Pestana introduced a bill mak ing an appropriation for the Florence Crittenden mission which is located in Topeka. The bill provides for an ap propriation of $2.1X10 for the years 1!102-'04, payable quarterly. The home has never received anything from the state, but similar homes in other states have received appropriations, and it is asked on the grounds of humanity.' Other bills introduced were: By Wulfekuhler To provide for a board of public utilities in cities of the first andsecond class. Relating to appointment of deputies in elective offices of cities of the first class. Relating to the salaries of mayors in cities of the first class. By Smith For relief of G. A. Borth wiek. Authorizing the county commissioners of Haskell county to issue bonds for its indebtedness to the state of Kansas. By Branine To repeal act establishing board of public works. By Chaney To prevent occupancy of vacant buildings without consent of owner. To make appropriation for state printing. By McKnicht Authorizing: superin tendent of insurance to examine books of insurance companies, to provide for the compensation of the work and the turning of the money received into the state treasury. By Conrad To prevent tax dodging. Relating to partition fences. By Tapp Relating to insurance; pro viding for insurance by the state, and payment of losses. Wichita "Would Own an Ice Plant A new proposition in public ownership came up in a bill in the house by Repre sentative Babb of Sedgwick, authoris ing the city of Wichita to acquire and own a public ice plant. Mr. Babb says there is a sentiment for it in Wichita on the part of progressive thinkers. Nj public demand is back of the bill how ever. Mr. Babb says artificial ice can be made at an expense of 5 cents per hun dred and sold profitably to the public treasury for 10 cents a hundred. Contest Committee Perplexed. The elections committee of the senate has heard the argument in the Ross Findley case, but has not- given its de cision. The case has been completed, and the committee will give its de cision in a few days. At present the committee seems to desire to hold off its report. Nothing in the evidence proved that there was anything illegal about the ballots cast for Ross, but the com mittee sterns unable to arrive at a de cision because the vote may be needed two years from now. Suit Over a House. The case of R. B. Polk against Mrs. M. E. Hinckley was commenced in the district court this morning. Polk sue I Mrs. Hinckley for the difference between a;:0 and $1.3".0. He claims that he built a house for Mrs. Hinckley which cost the largest sum Mrs. Hinckley claims that he contracted to build the house for $930 and that when it was completed he wanted her t pay $1,350, Polk claims that after the contract was made Mrs. Hinckley had him do extra work not called for. Experts were called in to sav what they thought the job was worth and one said $1,745. Game Law Killed. Chairman Millar of the house live stock committee reported adversely on Representative Olson's bill to repeal the anti-dockage law passed by the legisla ture of li7. The game law to protect black, gray and fox squirrels, for three years, introduced by Dougherty of New ton, by request was also killed in this committee. VAHDEnOILT HERE Father of Duchess of Marlbor ough Stops in Topeka. He Is Seen by a State Journal .Reporter. IIAD NO POCKET MONEY. Could Not Pay Messenger Boy For Telegram. Refuses Cnrtly to Discuss Fur chase of Pullman Interests. William K.Vanderbilt. the oldest living member of the third generation of great railroad magnates bearing that name, and father of the Duchess of Marl borough, was in Topeka for a few min utes last evening-. His' special ear was attached to Santa Fe train No. 6, which arrived at 4:35 and departed a little later. Mr. Vanderbilt has the name of being a. shrewd and cautious financier, but as a winner of notoriety he is not to be compared to Mrs. Nation. Outside of the railroad men scarcely anyone knew of his presence. As soon as the train stopped a mes senger boy went on board to deliver a telegram which had been sent to him here several hours before. The multi millionaire was unable to furnish the carrier a single cent in payment for the message, but finally he was allowed to William X. Vanderbilt, "Who ,take the message, and will probably reimburse tne teiegrapn company wnen he draws his next month's salary at New York city. Mr. Vanderbilt appeared at the rear door of his car and signed for the tele gram in person. He is of medium stat ure, light complexioned, clean shaven, and wore a light colored suit and light tan shoes. His appearence is that of a man thirty-five years old, though bi ographers say he was born fifty-two years ago. Judging from personal appearance his life has not been one of great stress; but his conversation or rathei his re fraining from it leads one to believe that he has a mortal dread of disclos ing some fact detrimental to his great financial interests. Another trait is that same "the public be characteristic which has always distinguished this line of railroad kings. Mr. Vanderbilt says that never, in the fifty -two years of his life, has he sub mitted to an interview by a reporter, and his manner verities the statement. He has become so proficient in prac ticing this non-committal attitude that his brusqie. cold refusal immediately coagulates the blood of the most per sistent sc-cker for news. A State Journal reporter appeared at the car door just as the telegraph mes senger was leaving and attempted to get an interview regarding the alleged Van- derbilt-Motgan-Harriman purchase of the Pullman interests. "Mr. Vanderbilt?" interrogated the reporter. The railroad king did not un derstand, and the question was re peated. "Yes, sir, was nls quiet reply. "I should like to talk to you." Here Mr. Vanderbilt began to close .the door, and through an open space of about two inches he said very curtly: T nevjr talk to reporters; I have never in my life submitted to an in terview." With this he slammed the door and disappeared from public gaze as soon as possible. He spent the remainder of the time while the train waited chatting with a group or gentlemen friends who were accompanying him home from his mid winter vacation in California. The spe cial car in which he traveled did not ex ceed in elegance of furnishings some which go over the Santa Fe; and the retinue of negro cooks and servants on board was the most corpulent and un tidy that has been seen here for some time. The movement of Mr. Vanderbilt across the continent is receiving special attention from the railroads. MAC ARTHUR RECALLED He Will Be Succeeded in Philip pines by Gen. Wade. New York. 'Jan. 30. A Herald special from Washington says: Major General Arthur MacArthur will he relieved from duty as the command ing general of the division of the Philip pines in April next and will be succeeded by Brigadier General James F. Wade. Weather Indications Chicago, Jan. 30. Forecast for Kan sas: Fair tonight and Thursday; west erly winds. DE WET GOING BACK, He is Planning Another Inva sioa of Cape Colony. London, Jan. SO. General Kitchener reports to the war office, under date of Pretoria, January 29, as follows: "De Wet. has been engaged by Knox 40 miles north of Thabanchu. No ae tails. De Wet intends again attempt ing an invasion of Cape Colony. "Smith-Dorrien has returned from Carolina, having disprsed the Iioers. "A force of Boers this morning en tered Berisburg and damaged two mines. Commandant Marais is among the prisoners taken. CKAZY SNAKE'S LETTER. He Shows One Bearing the Signature of Thomas Ryan. Muskogee, I. T., Jan 30. Craay Snake's alleged federal authority to re sume the old Creek laws, which he used in persuading his ignorant followers to rebel against the Curtis act, was reveal ed today. When Indian Agent Schoenfelt and Tarns Bixby, a member of the Dawes commission, returned from a vis it to the Choctaw nation at South Jlc- Alester they secured the following let ter trom the interior department: Washington, D. C, October 11, 1900. Chitto Harjo, Wetumka, I. T. Dear Sir: Pn answer to your inquiry regarding tne entorcing of the treaties, will state that every section contained in them will be enforced to the letter. THOMAS RYAN, Acting Secretary. This, with other letters of a similar nature from Washington officials, shown by the Indian chief to the disgruntled Creeks and Choctaws.undoubtedly start ed the present trouble. Harjo led the Indians to believe that the acting secre tary referred to the old Indian treaties Was in Topeka Last Evening. and not to the Dawes commission agree ments and the Indians readily believid him. Messrs. Shoenfelt and Bixby learned on their trip that the Snake band among the Choetaws, who recently de posed Governor Duke, intended to in stall Daniel Bell as their new governor within a few days. Governor Duke, the Indians assert, has no right to interfere with the enforcement of the old treaties Agent Schoer.felt will go to Atoka to use his best efforts in the matter. It now seems that, since the soldiers have be gun their work in the Creek nation, a disturbance is likely to break out in the Choctaw nation. Commissioner Bixby, who drove out 12 miles from South Mc Alester and interviewed Daniel Bell learned from the latter that the Choc taws are still set in their determination to cary out the old laws, insisting that they have the federal government be hind them. flEELY REACHES CUBA. He Is Turned Over to the Keeper of the Prison. -Havana, Jan. 30. Charles P. W. Neely, the former chief of the bureau of finance of the Cuban postoffice de partment, who was arrested at Roches ter, N. Y., in May last, charged with embezzling $36,000 of the department funds, has arrived here on the steamer Mexico, frbmirNew York, January 27. Captain Lucieii Young, captain of the port, took charge of the prisoner and delivered him to the keeper of the Carcel. Lawyer Viondi, Neely's counsel, had a long talk with the prisoner. The lat ter who is in good spirits, received many visitors and talked confidently of his acquittal. MUST GO TO COURTS. Government Will Not Interfere in In Asphalt War Not Now. Washington, Jan. 30. The reported disorders in Venezuela involving Ameri can asphalt interests have not come to the attention of the state department. Minister Loomis has acquainted the de partment with the fact that the Vene zuelan gjvernmetit is willing and anx ious to have the merits of the rival as phalt concessions left to the determina tion of the Venezuelan courts. The st3e department has decided that this Is the proper course to pursue and has so in formed the minister. It is true that there has been no lack of insinuations touching the integrity of the Venezuela tribunals, but the state department does not feel itself absolved on that score from following the well established practice In such cases and refraining from Intervention until it shall become absolutely evident that there has been a denial of justice, therefore the asphalt companies must make their fight before the Venezuelan courts, to begin with, at least. Child Murderer on Trial. Ironton, Ky., Jan. 30 William Gibso.i, the alleged child murderer is on trial at Cattlets'ourg, Ky., today. The jury was quickly- empanelled. The people are awaiting the result without excitement. if3 Wm,i L Kansas Sons Celebrate Another Parental Birthday. Wit and Oratory Again Flovr at Banquet Board. MR. MASON'S SPEECH. Gov. Stanley Becites Incidents of His Entry to Kansas. Was Captured by Indians and Bound to a Tree. liis Companion Breaks Bonds and Releases the Governor. A3 is always the case, the tenth annual banquet of the Kansas Day club was a success it could not be otherwise with the kind of men who run the club. Last night the club celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the admission of Kansas to the union. The speeches were all good, and it is saying nothing against the others to add that the best of the evening was that delivered by T. E. Dewey. Morton Albaugh received an ovation when he arose to make his speech, and several bouquets after he had finished his effort. The regular business meeting of the club was held in the lobby of the Cope land before the banquet, and the fol lowing officers were elected for the en suing yeas: President, Charles Finch, Lawrence; vice presidents, W. L. Hug gins, Emporia, J. M. Kinkle, Hutchin son, James H. Chisham, Atchison; sec retary, Dell Valentine, Clay Center. There were no resolutions and no speech-making except the speech nomi nating Charles Finch for president, and that was such a good one that, contrary to the established rule, the members allowed it to be made without inter ruption. Wyandotte county was awarded the banner which was offered by Col. T. W. Harrison for the greatest increase in the Republican vote over 1895. The vote in that county showed an increase of 84.8 per cent. The banner, a beautiful one. costing $129. stood back of the pre siding officer's chair at the head of the banquet room, and was admired by every one. It will be presented to the county making the largest gain in 1002. While the club was in the lobby at tending to the election of officers, Col. Wilder Metcaif proposed the name of Colonel Rossington for membership. Metcaif said: "Colonel Rossington has been a life long Democrat, but he is now clear over m the Republican party and wants to belong to this club." "It is not necessary to vote a man in. Any good Republican can belong." said Silas Porter, of Wyandotte. "It makes no difference about his race, color, or previous political belief." v e will just vote Colonel Rossington in anyway," said President Mason, "and I declare him elected a life-long mem ber." It was 10 o'clock when the doors of the banquet room were opened and the crowd pushed in and took the seats about the tables. There were 190 plates and fully 60 members were unable to get in because of lack of room. The officers of the club had refused to sell more tickets than there were plates, and thus all confusion and scrambling for places was done away with. Lieut. Collin Ball and A. J. Freeborne, who were on the programme, were un able to be present and their places were not filled. It was just 2:15 when the speeches were completed, and the banquet room deserted. President Mason began the speech making with his annual address, after the menu had been discussed. PRESIDENT MASON'S ADDRESS. President H. F. Mason said in open ing the banquet: "Abraham Lincoln was fond of relat ing and of referring to this old story: An eastern potentate in ancient times commissioned several of the wise men of his court to devise for him a motto, to be inscribed upon his palace walls, which should be at all times and under all circumstances pertinent to the exact conditions then existing and inculcate some useful and-appropriate lesson. The sages accepted the commission, and after mature deliberation reported this legend, which was duly transferred to the walls of the palace; "And this, too, shall pass away.' "We are here tonight, as It happens, as Republicans and as Kansans, to celebrate the most decisive political vic tory of recent years. We have regained control of every department of govern ment, but we have before us the per haps more difficult task of retaining that control. "Probably much that will be said here tonight will bear more or less directly upon the question. What shall we do to hold the ground we have won? And this prophecy is safe however much these speakers may differ in opinion on other matters, they will agree in two things: One is that the illicit liason known as fusion must cease; that the Democratic and Populist parties must either get married or live apart. or keep cut of good society; or at least that the official bal lot shall no longer be used to screen their shame. The other is that a first requisite to continued success is polit ical morality and honesty. "The Populist party was the result of an honest desire to better conditions. And the Populist party of today could be trusted absolutely to eradicate all evils with which we are afflicted if it could be done by passing resolutions in a po litical convention. I have thought that perhaps the earliest prototype of our modern Populist was in parliament something like two hundred years ago. Observing that the nations of the earth were perpetually at war with each other over religious disputes, and that each country was distracted by internal dis sensions of the same sort, he set about devising a remedy. And he found it In legislation, for he Introduced into par liament an act the expressed purpose of which was 'to abolish all differences of opinion on religion.' The methods of the Populist party have often been as plaus ible and direct as this. "The Republican party has quit try ing to compete with the Populist party on itsyown ground. The Republican party has no cheap panacea for ail po litical ills. It has no proposition for abolishing poverty by legislation, for giving everybody everything, for pro ducing property without labor, for mak ing something out or nothing. It recog nizes but one method for material suc cess, and that is the old, old method of honest, earnest, individual effort. That unfortunately, does not always bring success, but In the experience of six thousand years it is the only method that has yielded practical results. "But we find cause for gratulation not only in the fact that we are again upon safe and stable ground. Our opponents are still unable to unite. The appeal of the new Democracy to the unreconciled believers in the Democracy of the fathers remains unheard, or at all events un answered. The bait of promised spoils has not yet lured them from the wor ship of their political ancestors. "The old line Democrat when urged to be baptised into the new Democracy the Democracy of Bryan, of Aitgeld, and Tillman, under the promise of the spoils of office if he consents, and under the threat of political excommunication if i i PRESIDENT H. T". MASOX, he refuses, pauses on the brink of the plunge and inquires 'But what would my ancestors, the immortal Jefferson and Jackson, say to this?' 'O, Jefferson and Jackson,' is the reply, 'we have cut loose from them long ago. Mighty well,' he answers, with the stoicism of old Radbod. 'then will I rather choose political damnation in their company, than salvation in yours.' "The Democracy is at a loss to find an issue upon which to wagu its next campaign with a united front. What ever shape it may assume in whatever form it may be expressed it will be found to be substantially the same as the real issue of the last campaign. And what was that? Not anti-expansion, surely, for the Democratic plat form declared for establishing a stable government in the Philippines. Not re straint of trusts, for the Democracy in congress voted solidly against the anti trust constitutional amendment. Not free silver, for that was never heard of after the adoption of the platform. What was it then? Why, in fact, it was as expressed, according to the tradition, with frankness and euphemism, by a certain Missouri convention: 'Whereas, we uns are out, and you uns are in: Therefore, what you uns are for, we uns are again; Resolved, you uns must get out, and let we uns in.' MR. TUCKER'S SPEECH. George E. Tucker, of Eureka, re sponded to the toast "Kansas" in an eloquent address, duj-ing which he said- "The history of Kansas is short but thrilling. It bristles with events, with brilliant personalities, with action. The settlement of Kansas, its growth and present power were all consummated in the brief span of a human life. Fifty years ago Kansas was untilled, and al most undiscovered. Today it is the vast garden and granary of creation. "You know the path by which Kan sas has reached her present position. The way has been rough and rugged. It is marked by the suffering and sacri fice of thousands. The cost of saving the state was fearful, but the result was triumphant. You are familiar with the character of the pioneers whose lives run through the events of our his tory as a golden thread through a string of pearls. "The world was winnowed for men to establish cur republic, and God gleaned the country for hope, fortitude and daring sufficient to take up the struggle GEORGE E. TUCKER. in Kansas. It is the quality of her peo ple that has made Kansas a great state. "Kansas owes her allegiance to that party whose birth was coincident with her own. Just as the border warfare and Quantrill's raid were the whirl winds precedent to the fearful tornado of war which was to follow, so the moral struggle in Kansas was the force about which centei-ed all forms of op position to the Democratic party, and this struggle resulted in the formation of the Republican party. "For years Kansas was loyal to the party that, had succored her in her in fancy, increasing the measure of her gratitude with each succeeding election, until in l&SS Kansas gave Harrison one majority for each square mile of her vast territory." He then compared the Populists w ith the prodigal son, and after telling of his wanderings and return, said: "And tonight it is mete that we shall make merry and make glad, for this, our brother, was dead and is alive again and was lort and is found. Kansas is redeemed. ,We have gradually regained what was lost. Kansas is safely re stored to the Republican column. For the present and for the future, Kansas Continued on Third Paee.) i s l 0 'it J p. rrV Twelve Women of Anthony De molish Four Saloons. Three School Girls Take Active Part In Proceedings.

Workers. Out Early This Morning Before Police Were Stirring. DRUG STORE INCLUDED After the Work a Sidewalk Prayer Meeting Held. All Joined in Singing Nearer My God to Thee." Kansas City, Jan. 30. A Star special from Anthony, Kan., says: Early this morning before most citi zens had reached their places of busi ness, 12 women of the Anthony W. C. T. U., armed with hammers, hatchets a: 1 pick axes, raided and completely demol ished four "joints" in Anthony. Hus bands of the women went along atnu..'. to protect their wives. Among the brig ade were two or thr e school girls under age, who did some of the most effectiv-t smashing. A greater part of the havoc was finished before the police, or mayo were aware of what w as going on. Th i actual damage done to personal propel -ty, aside from the liquor destroyed, i x placed by the saloon keepers at $-V". This however, is believed to be too con servative. As a result of the attack, the greatest excitement prevails. For a time tl--whole town was in an uproar and it tv.'s feared that personal violence would re sult. The first place attacked was situ.i'i .1 in the rear of a drug store, which w:" forcibly entered from the rear. It con tained some costly bar fixtures ir I among other things a valuable cash r Ister. Within a tew minutes the won e:i had smashed everything in sight. The cash register was demolished but in their hurry to finish this job and go to other places, they overlooked the bullc of the liquor stored away. Half a block down the street the sec ond scene of joint smashing was enact ed. They found this saloon locked, b.it axes were applied and the whole gla-s front was smashed in. Their work was most complete. Th building, a great plate glass mirror ur t everything in sight was reduced to maximum of the Mrs. Nation idea. Hi i also a fight occurred, the proprietor "i4 smashed over the head with a beer bot tle, his scalp laid open, and his bloo 1 mixed with tfte flow of liquors that rn in small streams over the Hour. T.i joint keeper was struck by the huHban-t of one of the women. In quick suooe-- sion two other places a short d:siari down the street were subjected to siivi lar treatment, the fixtures smashed a::d all the liquor turned into the guttw. Today s raid was led by a Mis. Sm-t- iff of Danville, a small town nearby. She came to Anthony last nisht. or ganized the local temperance w om-u and planned the crusade. Mrs. Sheriff had previously destroy, .1 a joint in Danville and she is credit- with having given Mrs. Nation the fir;t idea for a wrecking crusade. Mrs. She- iff is a stranger to the people of An thony and for a. time many in the cu v i that followed the crusaders from pl.ic to place believed that she was Mrs. Na tion. The saloon keepers of Ar.thor.y hav warerooms aside from th-sir saloon where a reserve stock of liquor Is k-p'. The women did not know this and a coi.- iderable amount of the prohibited li quor is yet unmolested. After the work of demolishing v.vs complete, the crusaders held a player meeting on the sidewalk, and "Nearer My God to Thee" was sung with f- ror and great unction. COUNTY ATTORNEY HERE.

In "The Honest Blacksmith" Fitzsim mons did with his fists and a bag what Sarah does with the French language and hr-r votnl cords. The bag seemed to recite t-,.me of tbo.se long Sarah speeches.

And when he had fin ished and declined to take pay for It from the lovely gyurl, because. I believe, her pa had once been good to mm, you se creted a furtive tear or two. Fifz's "humor" was absolutely convinc ing. Nothing in the drammer could be finer than the little, quip contained in this roseate poesy: "vi'wan! you're talkin' through your shirtwaist!" And hark to thisi ye witmongers,, remembering that it was delivered with a sort of timid unc tion: Somebody mentions five thousand dollars. Fitz's retort is: "Five thousand dollars! I wonder if there Is a-s much mor.ev outside of the Standard Oil com- nanv. You reallv must go to- the Star lust to hear how much gay, insouciant mirth the new actor drains from this.

The Brooklyn Terror Talks of Jeffries and Ruhlin. ET TERRY McGOVERX. Mew York, Jan. 30. As Jeffries H champion, I will have a shy at mm iii t. This big boilermaker is cenanoj. ano-ueua fellow. His great natural ,,n.tii and endurance make him one out of a hundred. Suy, he's a wonder for sticking at the game ana lakius n.- "gaff." Tom Sharkey proven umu Now. I don't think that Jeffries can box any more than any one else doe?, lhat is not his game. The only trick of the ring that Jeffries knows, as far a a t can see is to keep his body out or danger. A fellow would have to have a reach like a giraffe to wauop mm in w: stomach. Sharkey dug away at m hi-rtad basket" hard enough to put a.i army mule out of commission without even putting a dent on Jeffries. Jeffries' crouching position won his battles with Fitzsimmons and Sharkev. two body ncnters. toroeu mi. mm the face whenever he wanted to; but, then, Corbett's blows could not mm him. When B-uhlin, who fights for the neaa. hits him in the face, it's going-to jar him up a bit. If Kuhlin reaches Jeffries' race a often as Corbett did, he'll knock his block" off. o it looks as if Jertrie-s' famous "crouch" won't be of much uie to him in this battle. He had better stand up and look out for his head a bit. If lie does not, we may have a new thampion. Just put a pin in that tip, Air. jei- fries. RITH LIN'S CHANCES. And now for you, Gus Ruhlin. Billy Madden has cut out a tough deal for you this trip. You have got to do some tall scrapping or get out and wall.". I suppose you think you ve got a good chance to lick Jeff, don't your n e:u maybe you have. Then, again but nev er mind; we'll wait and see. I think if you beat Jeffries you'll do it with your left hand. In fact, from what I have seen of your fighting, that is the only way you have a chance to lick rum Possibly that "scissors punch" of yours is going to work wonders. Hut I don t think much of those rancy blows, oool straight punching.right from the should er and as hard as you can send them in is what cashes the tickets. Ruhlin is an awfully nervous fighter. He nearly has a Dutch fit before a fight. Isn't that right. Ous? But he gets over it when he warms up. If he keeps away from Jeffries and looks out for that left swing he's got a chance, and a good one. Ruhlin is fast on his feet for a big man, much faster than Jelfnes, and should hit the cham pion twice to his once. Outside of Ruhlin's left hand I don't regard him as a very dangerous man. There is one thing to say in his favor that no one can deny. He is as gan e as a bantam. Just ask Fitzsimmons if you don't believe me. Ruhlin will go in and mix up with any of them, but I think he lacks ex perience. He got badly rattled when he was doing the can-can to the music of Fitzsimmons' sledge-hammer blows at Jim Kennedy's club last summer. If he keeps his head this time he may dish out a surprise to Uradv a star. Y'ou can't tell, however, how your pic ture win look by the way you sit, GRAND CIRCUIT DATES.

Eddie Santry Knocked Out. Pittsburg. Pa.. Jan. 30. Jack McClel land, of Pittsburg, knocked out Eddie Gantry, of Chicago, in the fourth round last night before a crowd that packed the Millvale opera house. The bout was for twenty rounds and up to the time the knockout came wi.-ntirte- work and hard punching were the order. In the second round McClelland's old cut over the right eye was opened and in the third his nose wa bleeding, but Mac's blows to the body were teliing ones, and in the third Santry received a terrific swing over the heart which staggered him. Both men were apparently fresh when the fourth, round began, but Mc Clelland soon landed another heart blow following it with a left jab to the face. then came to the jaw with a right hook. Santry went slowly down and out. Bill Bradburn was referee. Santry failed to weigh in at 3 o'clock, and looked to be eight or ten pounds over the 126 pounds at which the match was made.

Foreigners at Manila Are Urging Its Passage. Manila. Jan. 30. Dr. Kruger, the Ger man consul general here, has cabled to the Berlin government asking that the German ambassador at Washington be instructed to diplomatically urge tne passage of the Spooner bill. Two mining corporations organizes, m Germany are anxious to begin opera tions in the Philippines, but can not do so until the status of the mining claims is established by a permanent govern ment. Similar action will probably be taken by the British consul. Buencamino and some of the other Filipino leaders in Manila have about decided to become Protestants, and are considering the organization of an Evangelical church. In an Interview to day Buencarnino said he had learned that the Pope had decided to resioie th frirs to their former position in the Philippines. Buencamino added that the Filipinos would not submit to that, and the effect would be that they will short ly leave the Catholic church in great numbers. No public meeting has been held, but the leaders of the movement will meet privately tonight to discuss the question with Rev. Jame B. Rodg ers, a missionary of the Presbyterian board, who advises the establishment of an Evangelical church. The principals In the project are Buencamino, Dr. Ro sarlo, Tavare and Flores. All of these men are members' of the executive com mittee of the federal party, but Chief Justice Arellano and Attorney General Torres, the remaining members of that committee, adhere strictly to the Cath olic church, and have distinctly de clared the movement toward Protestant ism does not emanate from the party organization nor is connected with, the organization. Archbishop Chapelle refused to grant an interview, out nis iegai auviser re iterated the statement often made that the friars will not be sent into the dis tricts where the people object to them. j-r remarked, however, that the arch bishop had received a great number of requests from Filipinos for the return of the friars. Rev. Rodgers was interviewed in re gard to the matter. He said there had been no Protestant proselyting, but that many persons in outlying districts were turning to Protestantism, ana mat many residents of Manila would doubt less do likewise.

N k mrT-,cr nrpnrfltirms classed as bev- oi-airea we rank cocoa and chocolate. and with as little reason for so doing as we have for calling mils a mmu i. Rightly considered, cocoa is not a bever- a i .1 4nri thOT age in any sense itjunu uic -x nnurotinn does not reOUire mastication. While cocoa has seemingly a certain familv resemblance to cortee and tea. being the seed product of a small tree and containing an aiKaium closely resembling caffein of coffee, it is widely removed in its natural combina tion and character from either tea or cof- etit The hsjracteristic. nrottet'tV Of COCOa theobromine does not produce the phys iological effects on tne nervous system caused by caffein in coffee and theine in connection with tannin in tea. The theo bromine is combined with a considerable amount of nitrogenous matter aiounim, the muscle-making food, fat, which is known as cocoa butter, phosphates and a volatile oil, to which it owes its aroma which develons in roasting the seeds or beans. 111 I I UJJS ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS. To these valuable principles a consid erable amount of starch is added, with sufficient saccharine substance to render it palatable in the various forms in which it is presented on the market. Analysis of the best brands of cocoa and chocolate show a highly concentrated form of food, making it evident that it is designed for a more important place in our dietary than that so generally held, and that it is a mistake to regard it only as a pleas ant beverage or garniture to 'our cakes and desserts. It is essentially a very per fect food, containing, as we have shown, amounts of carbonhydrates. albumenoids and mineral matters In the proper relative proportion to constitute a complete food. Enriching this combination still further with sugar and milk gives us a further percentage of like elements and we can readilv see that in a cup of cocoa or chocolate we obtain quite a substantial menl. While almost everyone likes the flavor or cocoa, .all do not nna tnat it agrees with them. This Is generally due to its misuse, serving it with other highly con centrated foods to persons of weak diges tion or making it too rich and heavy. VARIOUS PREPARATIONS. Those usually presented to us and with which we are the most familiar are the powdered cocoa, from which a large amount of the oil is extracted, rendering it more suitable tor delicate digestion. The plain chocolate, which is manufac tured cocoa made into paste and delicate ly flavored and molded into shape. This is made from the best and most carefully selected seeds, skillfully prepared. All the fat is retained and no sugar is added in preparing the naste. The sweetened choc olate has about half the fat retained and about 6u per cent of purest sugar is added and all ground into a tine paste, delicate ly flavored with pure vanilla and molded into small cakes. Vanilla is the flavor best adapted to chocolate, though some times cinnamon Is used. This sweetened chocolate is much favored by the French and is eaten raw. It forms the substan tial part of their lunch, especially for travelers and school children. In South America cocoa and maize cakes are a part of every traveler's outfit, as they provide an agreeable and sustaining food In conveniently small bulk. There is a notable difference between chocolate and cocoa; both the sweet and plain choco late may be flavored, but the pure and best preparations of cocoa are not. They must depend absolutely upon their own natural odor and flavor, which peculiar quality makes them so delicious. CHOCOLATE THE MOST NOURISHING Plain chocolate Is the most nourishing of the various preparations of the cocoa bean and is to be recommended to those to whom the large amount of fat con tained is not objectionable. This fat (co coa butter) differs from all others, as it does not become rancid and Is not prone to fermentation in the stomach. This places it far above coffee or tea for the invalid, the former being an acid-making drink. The delicate digestion, however, finds cocoa, more acceptable to both taste and assimilialion, giving sufficient nour ishment without overtaxing their weak ened powers. The cocoas are reduced to the finest powder, which materially aids In their digestion, while it does not lesson the virtues or destroy the delicate aroma of the bean. COCOA NTBS. They consist of the cleaned shells, which are used to a considerable extent, making a wholesome and cheap beverage. This decoction is made by boiling the shells gently in water about two hours. They have a flavor suggestive of chocolate and contain a slight proportion of the active principles. This decoction is the only preparation from any part of the cocoa bean that may be considered a beverage as compared with tea or coffee. The other ALL OTHER SUBSTITUTES FOR LARD OR BUTTER FOR C O OKIN G HAVE FAILED BECAUSE OF THE ODOR AND TASTE GIVEN THE FOOD IN WHICH THEV ARE USED. Ctn fc.

While these preparations may be eaten raw. or rather without further cooking, before they are consumed, and will be on account of the fineness of the powdered and ground materials readily assimiliated, it is necessary In order to bring out to its fullness the fine flavor, to thoroughly cook it. When prepared by simply pour ing boiling water over the powdered or grated chocolate, it has a crude taste not at till agreeable to the dainty palate. In fact some French authorities insist that it can only be brought to that state of perfection which renders it "food for the gods'' by first cooking it slowly to a creamv, smooth consistency, closely cov ered to prevent the escape of the deli cate aroma, then allowing it to stand at least twelve hours before reheating it and serving. This gives It a mellow smoothness not otherwise obtained. This method certainly does not detract from its deliciousness. The main thing in selecting cocoa or chocolate is to get the best. It may not be the cheapest in price, but you are only paving a fair value for pure material, and not an exorbitant price for cheap adulterations. The American goods are considered far superior to those of for eign manufacture, being free from adul terations so far as the best brands are concerned. If we view the food question in a fair and consistent light and learn with w hat infinite" care, and labor, as well as expense and knowledge, our best food products are finally presented to our use, we would willingly pay the small amount of difference in price for the guaratiteed assurance that we have pure and whole some food. MILLED COCOA. This is a nice way to prepare chocolate or cocoa for an invalid, as it is considered more delicti.' and digestible. Mix together four level teaspoonfuis cocoa, two table snoonfuls sugar and a pinch of salt. Di lute with enough boiling water to make a smooth paste and then add two cup of boiling water. Let cook in a double boiler for ten minutes. Then whip with a dover egg-leater for five minutes. Return to the fire, add two cups of scalding hot milk. Let come to boiling point and cook for five minutes. When served to guests put a heaping teaspoonful of whipped cream on top of each cupful of cocoa, EGG- CHOCOLATE. The entire egg, or either yolk or white alone, may be used. This makes a very concentrated, nourishing food for an in valid, and no other substantial substance should be served with it. Put four cups of milk in the double boiler to heat. Moisten four dessert spoonfuls of choco late with a little of the hot milk. When smooth add this to the hot milk. Boil eight minutes. Then add the egg. beaten very light and mixed with a little of the hot" chocolate. Remove from the fire at once and pour back and forth from the boiler to a heated pitcher to prevent its curdling. When the white, of egg alone is used whip it to a froth and stir in care fully after removing from the fire., as it should not be cooked too much, especially for an invalid. Inquiries Answered. Mrs. M. T. writes; Should a pudding made with bread crumbs and egg custard be baked in a quick or moderate oven? Mine so often separates. Baked Pudding Custards must not bake too quickly, have a rather moderate oven and let the custard thicken gradually. All such puddings bake nicer if set in a pan of hot water, removed from the pan when nearly done and the top of the pudding allowed to brown. HAM RELISH. Mrs. J. "B. R.. requests a recipe for serv ing cold boiled ham. a suitable luncheon dish. Boil thtse ess hard. scald one cup of cream or milk, and rub the yolks of two of the eggs to a smooth paste with a little of the cream, add to the cream in the doubie boiler with one cup ful of finely minced ham; press the whites of the two eggs through a sieve and add to other materials in double boiler and let get thoroughly heated. Serve on toast on a hot dish and garnish with the re maining hard-boiled egg cut in slices. Cape Town. Jan. 30.

TOPETTA STATE JOTJRNATj, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1001. PiuILROaD k 1 Attorney Evans of Rock Island Hetarus From Washington. Signed Contract For Ke-surrey of Indian Lands. RESERVATION TO OPEN. YFork cf Surveying to Be Began at Once. Opening Will Occur in July or August. "W. F. Evans.' assistant general attor ney "for" the Rack. Island, returned yes terday afternoon from Washington, D C. where he has been for the past three weeks. Mr. Evans was called there to negotiate -with the government for the resurvey of the Kiowa. Comanche and Apache Indian lands which are to be opened for settlement. He signed a con tract to the effect that the Rock Island company should begin the resurvey at once and should complete it by July 1 This will put the time of opening some time in July or August. The Rock Isl and companv is greatly Interested in the opening of these lands and agreed to make the survey for about $,J-("' s consideration, a sum only about half as great as that which it would cost the government u do the same work. T.ne reservation has never been accurately surveved and sect ionized, and estimaus of its'size in acres is approximate only; but it is thought from 2.561.000 to 3,0W. i"0 af-res is a conservative estimate. There are about three thousand Indians each of whom has a first choice of 1M) acres. In addition to this 4W.0OO acres, the Indiana are permitted by act of con gress to retain the same amount for grazing lands" to be used in common by the "three tribes. Then for school purposes sections numbered 13. 16. 33 and ?,i are reserved, and missions and mis sion churches now in operation are en titled each to the quarter section upon which it stands. Outside of school and church lands there will thus remain up wards of 1.6i0.c"0 acres to be entered by the whites. Already the prospective opening of this country has attracted ....u.o f.iTv liiu-i Illinois and other states of the north and east. A man who is watching the development of the country tsaiu: -The best agricul tural class is preparing to settle these lands. Young farmers from the best agricultural states are already in the towns along the border awaiting the opening of the reservation. The climate is such that there is but little snow during the entire winter. For a corn, wheat and cotton-growing country it cannot lie beaten. The fibre of cotton raised in this country surpasses that produced in Texas last year. Men in the reservation who previous to last year never saw a hundred dollars since then have handled two or three thousand dollars and are getting rich. In my opinion there is some precious metal in the Wichita mountains, but I doubt if it is in very paying quantities. Chicka sha will remain the leading town. There is no question as to the future of this TOPEKA BOY PROMOTED Former Santa Fe Clerk Goes to Gulf Air Line. A. E. Taylor, a former Topeka boy who was in the office of the Santa Fe passenger department for a number of years under General Passenger Agent Biack. has been appointed traveling freight agent for the Houston. East and West Texas or "Gulf Air Line." Mr. Taylor was for several years chief clerk in the office of the general passen ger agent of that system. The officials of that line say his promotion is a just tribute to his merit. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Taylor of Tyler street. AID FOB RAILROADS. If This Bill Passes Cities May Vote Bonds. An Innocent looking bi"l is senate1 bill 12, which is entitled "An act to amend the title to chapter 67 of the laws of lw6. and to amend and repeal section 1 of said chapter." It authorizes cities of the first, second and third class to issue bonds for aid to railroad companies in securing and' paying for land for right, of way. depot grounds and terminal facilities. In this bill cities of the tteird class are to be jiermitted to vote railroad bonds to. a maximum of $15,000. The law now per mits townships, of which cities of the third class are a part, to vote $2,000 a mile of railroad bonds. This bill would permit townships to vote their limit of railroad bonds, for their equitable part of which the cities of the third class would bear their burden. Then, in ad dition the citizens of the town could have a double burden placed upon them by another $ir.X0 being voted upon it as a corporation. In effect this bill contemplates re storing the old law whereby $4,000 a mile of railroad bonds can be voted. PRESIDENTS WILL CONFER, Heads of All Railroads to Discuss National Legislation. Mirneanoiis. Minn., Jan. 30. The Times thi- morning savs: The fmmH:il heads of the big railroads of the I mied Stales have caused to be addressed to every railrAud president throughout the country a circular letter catling for a enference in Xew York on K-.lu-i.arv 15. The circular bears the Vati tlerbilt. Gould. Morgan and Harriman sis natures. Copies of it have been received by the presidents of all northwestern rail ways, including the Minneapolis-Chicago lines and the big transcontinental sys tems. As far as can be learned the call does not tell the object in view, but there is high authority for stating that national legislation bearing directly upon the rail way interests of the country will be one of the main topics discussed. But no. less important will be the eon fdd rati.m of any possible closer working of the 'community of interest" principle This, however, in a sense of sneculation" as even the presidents do not know what matters may come up. In discussing the meeting and the cir cular in question, an official who aw copy said the names attached represented In wonting capital something over two billions of uollaj-s. HI7NNE WELL RESIGNS.

Contract For Kansas Southern. Wamego, Kan., Jar.. 30. A contract has been let for grading the first ten miles of the Kansas Southern railroad irom Westmoreland south. RAILROAD NOTES Charles Priestly. formerly of the Santi Fe passenger department at Wichita, but lately relief agent on the middle di vision, lias been promoted to the posi tion of relief agent with headquarters in Chicago. Conductor Henry Rhody of the Mis souri Pacific, has sold his home in Atch ison and will move his family to Downs. Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe. has tiled complaint with President McKmiey against Secretary Root of the war department. Mr.Morton alleges that Secretary Root has given the Southern Facifie more than its share of the business of transporting military supplies to the Philippines. There is some talk that the Santa Fe will build a new freight depot at Law rence. J. FJ. Wilfong, agent at Concordia for the Union Pacific, is perhaps, one of that company's oldest employes in continuous service.having been with the company 7 years next August. He is a good man and the company appreciate? him. VV. R. Thomas, of Emporia, will prob ably sue the Santa Fe for injuries to himself and for the death of his son. Mr. Thomas was hurt and his son killed in a rear end collision on the Ottawa branch December 11. The report is current that the Santa Fe will build a cutoff between Strong City and Abilene from Lost Springs to Marion. Recently the Santa Fe received '.00 r.ew refrigerator cars which are now being used in the California fruit rush. The city council of Ottawa has recent ly granted certain "switch privileges" which may soon result in the building of a wye connecting the Santa Fe nvU Missouri Pacific tracks. The establish ment of this new connection it is thought would benefit the city of Ot tawa in more ways than one. The Chicago Great Western will make permanent improvements this spri'.g and summer. One of the largest items is $-100,000 for grade revisions, reduction of curves, filling of bridges, etc. The sum of $250,000 will be spent in laying f.dditional sidetracks for industries. Ten heavy consolidation engines and 50 flat cars have been constructed for immedi ate delivery. One hundred thousand dollars will be expended in improve ment of the Chicago freight station. George V. Uagenbuch of the Santa Fe passenger department at Kansas City, was in Topeka today. On the Central Branch division of the Missouri Pacific, there was. reported a scarcity of from 75 to a 100 grain cars daily last week. FROM. NEWTON. Machinist Pete Stradley dropped, an engine spring, and in falling, the heavy casting struck him on the knee injuring it quite severely. He will be laid up a short time. Machinist Jate Gavitt resumed his position in the back shop. His eye, which was so badly injured week before last, is as good as ever, for which he is truly grateful. Engineer Small and Fireman Balling of the Oklahoma division laid off. Rollo and Heist went out in their places. Frank Spangler departed for Texas. He will make the trip on a bicycle, and if the weather is favorable, expects to make a century run every day. Frark was a former employe of the Santa Fe in this city. R. D. Fowler has returned from Chi cago. Mr. Fowler learned shortly after his arrival in the city near the lake, that the climate did not agree with him, and he has returned to Newton. He will probably resume charge of his former position a.s trainmaster here. Fireman T. W. Remmo took engine 724 to Topeka in the capacity of a mes senger, Kngineer Snyder is laying off for a short time and OIlie Halsey is protect ing his run on trains N'os. 5 and 6. A flagman has been stationed at the south side of the Main street crossing to warn all who desire to cross, of the approach of a train. F.ngineer Al Dean is reported quite ill at his home in this city. His wife and mother are also sick, making his home a small hospital at present. J. H. Cooper resumed his position in the roundhouse. He hopes to be able to stay with it this time. P. V. engine No. 8 Is in the shops for repairs. Kngineer Harrv Johnston has resum ed his position with the Santa Fe Engineer Arthur Thomas laid' off in order to secure a little rest. FROM EMPORIA. On account of the rush of business all of the cars in the yards are in service. The turntable has been repaired and Is being used again. Wilcox and Kuhl went west on extra. Engineer Rollo and Griffith with Fire men McKnight and Buck double-headed west. Landers has reported for work. Rayford is sick. J. W. Smith is laying off a few days.

The days of her affliction are over. No longer held in ridicule by the east; no longer deafened by howling calamity; no longer administered over by men who would legislate themselves rich and the state bankrupt; with her debts paid, her credit established, her honor restored, Kansas has once more taken her place in the front rani of commonwealths. "Greater Kansas is my plea tonight. Greater in her latent resources?, greater in the development of her industries, greater in the increase of her markets, greater in her institutions and her laws, and greater in her men. Kansas is des tined for larger things. "At the beginning of the twentieth century we find Kansas with a surplus of energy and wealth. She has paid off millions of dollars' worth of mortgages, and still there is a surplus of wealth. She has fed millions on her produce, and still there is to spare. With nearly one- hundred million bushels of wheat in a single year, raised on one-tenth, of her tillable soil, Kansas Is capable of dupli cating the output of the world. With a small per cent, of our soil in com-we have produced as high as one-sixth of the crop of the entire country. Our pos sibilities in the growth and development of the live stock industry are not ex ceeded by any state in the union. There are more cattle shipped from the town of Elgin than from any point in the world. More than two and one-half millions of cattle are owned in Kansas, and there is room for twenty millions more. Our mineral output for 1900 reached eighteen million dollars. In the production of zinc ore Kansas leads all the states, and the industry is in its in fancy. We produce millions of tons of coal annually, and the richest fields are still undeveloped. We have lead and salt and cement in abundance, and petroleum and gas to burn. "The development of Kansas Indus tr?es and Kansas resources, the realiza tion, of our brilliant prospects in trade and commerce, lest with us. The party that has made possible our past must mould our future. Girded with the strength of man hood and bound at the bar of our con sciences, as young Republicans and as older Republicans of the Kansas Day club, let us accept the opportunity that God has -given us, let us shoulder the responsibility which the new century has brought us let us stand fast in the faith, quit us like men, be strong. "It will mean untiring effort; it will require the utmost harmony; it will de mand strict adherence to right; it will call for the purest patriotism but it will be done." MR. DEWEY'S BRIGHT SPEECH. T. E. Dewey followed Lieutenant Ball. The subject of his toast was "Self-sacri fice in Politics. He said: "I come to you this evening with a subject far removed from the exper ience of most of us, for it may be safe ly said that nearly, if not quite, all of us hold, have held, or hope to hold office. That was aa true of the first it T. E. DEWEY. meeting of the club as of this, and the year books prove it. There are excep tions, of course, but most of the ex cepted ones are living without the state they left before the coming of the day of reward. They were not seers, as were we". They fought and ran away' only to find that the art of polities is widely distinguished from the art of war. They were not here 'to fight an other day' and consequently the offices are ours. "Self-sacrifice in politics has not a meaning different from self-sacrifice in religion. No man loves his God who gives Him only the day and the dollar that he can spare. Self-sacrifice is the test the measuring' standard in every walk of life, and, applying it to politics, how few of us are able to measure up to it. "Among the great men there is an oc casional illustration, and that will make you think of Theodore Roosevelt. W'e have no better living example in poli tics. Yet his motives have always been questioned. As long ago as when he was police commissioner of the city of New York, as dirty and disagreeable a job as a man ever undertook, an illus trious Kansan said that any man with Roosevelt's financial independence could do it. The truth is that all the days of the years of his life Theodore Roosevelt has been doing the things that he did not have to do. Rewards have come to him. but they are but the offerings of a grateful people. "But the example to which I desire particularly to call your attention is the politician at home, the one who works in the ward, and who is 'office less,' 'passless.' and hopeless, except for his party. He knows no guile and needs none. He asks only for the oppor tunity of honest service. When, one re counts the work that he does, without hope of reward, there comes a feeling of gratitude and respect that is not easy of expression. You know him; he lives in your ward. When you wish to know how some obscure party is going to vote, you send for him. He knows: if not, he finds out. When a meeting is on hand, he does all the dirty work; carries the chairs, gets the water and lights the lamps. And then, he persuades the doubtful ones that we, against whom they are probably prejudiced, are not more than half so bad as we are paint ed. He does not build for a day. The services of this man are worth more than all the money put into all the joints in all ihe state of Kansas. No spectre of retribution follows in his path. "Now, what makes him do it? What is it that causes him to continue to sacrifice his strength and time and talents, and permit you and me to reap the reward? It is purely a matter of sentiment nothing more, nothing less. His work is what George R. Peck would call the evidence of "the strength of a sentiment." And, after all. has been said, sentiment is the strongest thing in politics. It has won more victories for the Republican party than has reason. It has brought more honors to men than has ability. It brings forgiveness and forgetfulness to a multitude of sins. "Editors like Mr. Harmsworth. Mr. Hearst and Mr. Pulitzer are trying to prove that the world has passed from vl?V' the realm of sentiment to the age of business, but they, will not succeed. Some statesmen and party leaders talk much about it, but they misconceive or underestimate the true elements of strength. It is Mr. Hanna's greatest fault. Admitting that the battle was fought four years ago along business lines, no person will refute the claim that the last election was won purely on sentiment and how much greater is the victory! "How purely a product and an ex ample of sentiment is Kansas and all that in it is! We started with a John Brown and are wrestling with a Mrs. Nation. We were the first to free the negro and are the last to burn him. But regardless of all these phenomena, our weakness is our strength. "The lesson that I bring to you and keep for myself is the recognition and reward of the humble politician in the ward. To be sure, 1-onest effort is al ways its own exceeding great, reward, but it makes our duty not the less. Af ter election we get so busy with our own greatness and the distribution of patronage that we ofttimes grow forget ful of these modest Warwicks. Grati tude, is not much of a virtue, but the absence of it is the greatest of vices." CHAIRMAN ALBAUGH TALKS. Morton Albaugh responded to the toast "Wayside Thoughts." Among other things he said: "There is an erroneous idea abroad that there is something magical about the management of a political campaign. That in some back room, with the shut ters closed, the blinds drawn low, the lights turned down, a big, black bottle on the table" in the center, men meet, partake freely of the contents of the bottle, devise plans and hatch schemes whereby the entire current of affairs is changed, and in some mysterious way the result of a political contest made entirely different from what it otherwise might have been. "However it may be elsewhere, in Kansas, such is not, never has and nevet will be true. Here, public sentiment controls and finds a true expression at the ballot box. In the organization of this sentiment the party management is in the front room; the shutters are open, the blinds up, and speaking par ticularly for the last two campaigns, the black bottle has been entirely wanting, and no man has, within the rooms occu pied by the Republican state committee, ever found one drop of those liquids so studiously tabooed at the annual ban quets of this patriotic club. "It was a magnificent army that marched to victory in Kansas in 189S and 1900. It kept time to the music of the reaper and the binder in the field; to the whistle of the locomotive as it carried the long trains of cattle and hogs, of corn and w-heat to the market; to the whir of the busy machinery in the factory; to the clang of the a'nvil in the shop; to the crackling of the fire in the furnace; to the merry songs of the wives and daughters in their happy and prosperous homes: to the countless, cheerful children wending their way to school. It was an enthusiastic host. It represented something. It carried, the flag not only at the head of the column but all the way down the line. It be lieved in the correctness of the prin ciples for which it contended. But few of those who did the active, earnest, un selfish work in those two contests are here tonight. They are enjoying the communion of contented firesides. But the ranks of that proud army stand un broken. The real credit for these two successes belongs to the active work ers in the different townships and wards all over the state. A justification by those in power of the representations made by those workers in order to win these victories, and they stand ready to engage in future contests with renewed vigor and energy, and to bring with them innumerable recruits from those of the opposition who are honest in their desire that our country have the bet possible laws and a faithful execu tion of them. "Today Kansas is as safely Republi can as Maine. Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Blaine are again our national heroes and they will remain so if our party leaders continue true to the people. That honesty, sincerity and courage which has rescued us from our tem porary indiscretions must be continued, or, in the language of the patent med icine vender, a complication of ailments is likely to follow. The Populists made promises that they could not keep; it is doubtful whether the people ever ex pected that they would. But they do expect and are entitled to a strict ac count from the Republicans. Our every promise must be fulfilled to the letter. The same business honesty which we admire and applaud in private life must characterize our public acts. The ful filled promises of our beloved president, William McKinley, in the nation, and our worthy chief executive, Governor W. E. Stanley, in the state, made the campaign of 1900 easy. A continuation of those records will be an impregnable fortress in. 1902. "Here are assembled tonight many whom the people of Kansas have honor ed, and others whom they doubtless will. Here are the representatives of the vast business interests of a mighty commonwealth. Together you celebrate an historic anniversary. It is a prophetic occasion. In your hands and in the hands of those you represent rest the destinies of the greatest of human or ganizations yea, the future of our mag nificent state. The ark of the covenant is in your keeping. Dedicate yourselves anew tonight to the cause of human rights and human progress. Keep pure and sacred the principles for which Grant fought and Lincoln died and no appeal that Republicans ever make to the enlightened, cultured and intelligent voters of Kansas will be in vain." SENATOR Wt'LFEKUHLER SPEAKS. Senator Wulfekuhler said: "Humbly do I arise in my maiden effort in re sponse to a toast, with reverence do I bow to this unearned honor bestowed on me by this club. In venturing upon my subject, "Our Next Duty," I am fully conscious that whatever it may be with the Republican party in power it wi'.l be well done." In speaking of the Republican party he said: "Be their platforms what they will the Republican party is in power and in power to stay. There is no way of judging the future but by the past and theRepublican party has been nearer right than any of the parties upon the great questions of the day. The Repub lican party believes the United States can acquire territory and govern it. We rest upon the broad principle of Web ster, that the Philippines which we gained by purchase belong to the United States and are not a part of the United States. Constitutions do not make pen pie, but people make constitutions. Jf the American people were disposed to tyranny .injustice and oppression a con stitution would offer but small resist ance to their will. "Our love for law and order grows out of the fact that the American people believe in freedom, humanity and equal justice to all. Whilj they so believe the doctrines of the constitution and the de claration of independence will never be in peril. With this trust by the American people we will never depart from the Philippines and leave the Filipinos, to live in bioody anarchy amongst them selves. "The next great question to agitate the mind3 of the American people is the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The construction of the Nicaragua canal widd raise many important questions of international law. The necessities of commerce almost de mand the construction of the canal which, when constructed, will raise questions of vital importance to the Uni ted States. The unstable government ot the central American states will be thrown open to eastern commerce and they should have stable and financially reliable governments.

She is hallowed and dignified by the memories of a great past, ail alive and bright and eager with a pur pose of a yet greater future." COL. HARRISON PRESENTS THE BANNER. In presenting the flag to WyandoUe county Col. T. W. Harrison said: "When I made the offer to the Kansas: Day club of a banner one year ago I would have made it two banners if I had thought the Republican majority would have been doubled. But as that cannot be done and because of the grar.d victory of the Republicans, I have dou bled the banner in size. I want to ev.-1-lain briefly the inscription on the ban ner. It was discussed a good deal and some though" that it should read: 'For the county showing the greatest gains But it was sure that some Kansan would jump up and say, 'What blame tool from Missouri wrote that inscrip tion and needs to be shown.' So after discussing the matter we finally made the inscription: 'For the county making the largest Republican gains.' After telling several stories Illustra tive of points he said: "It may be true that the morning drum beats of the British empire never teases, but marches with the advancing twilight round and round the earth in perpetual succession. But thank God it is also true that the bright sunlight of heaven never ceases to shine on the American flag which has been planted by the Republican party. Long before the evening twilight has pulled the cur tain down and pinned it with a star up on our Pacific possessions the brigiit rays of the morning sun have kissed the shores of Maine." He closed his speech by presenting the. oanner to j. juccabe Moore, the repre sentative of Wyandotte county, who r.aid: "In accepting this flag allow me to thank each and every member of the central committee of Wyandotte cou.iiy ior their work during the campaign, The committee claims only a share of the honor of the increaseed majorities. A good share is credited to the popularity of William McKinley and our governor, W. E. Stanley, whose wise administra tion has been so handsomely approv.'d at the polls. This banner is received with hearts full of gratitude .not merely for its intrinsic value, but for the laudable spirit in which it was given." Governor Stanley made the last ad dress of the evening. His toast was "Kansas for Forty fears." He said: "A little more than forty years ago I crossed the line from Missouri to Kansas. There was no line, but something told us we were in Kan sas, the land of freedom. It was in southeastern Kansas and something in the ky, in' the atmosphere, seemed to suggest we were in Kansas, in the land of freedom. I love it and you love it. W'e deserve no credit for loving Kansas for we could not help it." He then went on to tell of how he and a companion camped by a stream and how at night they were admiring the sky, which was so clear when they were startled by a ITCH IS TORTUi Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in flammation little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. GA. 1 J lIEMBEO ILLINOIS TiSSEuDLY AFFLICTED WITH CATARRH OF THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CURED BY PERU N A. mm k.-is HON. JOHN J. FURLONG, Member of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly of the State of Illinois, writes of Peruna as follows: 1353 Osgood St., Chicago, 111. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentlemen I can safely recom mend Peruna as a remedy that will cure all catarrhal troubles. 'It was of great benefit to me as it cured me of catarrh of the throat and lungs permanently and in a very short time. 1 am glad to add my endorsement to that of others." John J.. Furlong. The order in which the symptom of chronic catarrh occur are nearly always as follows: A cold which hangs on longer than usual; a sensitiveness of the air pas sages, by which one catches cold easily, a continual settled cold in the head, throat, or chest; discharges grow thicker and more offensive, loss of flesh, despondency, loss of appetite, headacne or cough, and general lassitude. Now this is about the order in which symptoms of chronic catarrh make their appearance, and if the sufferer is fortu nate enough to find a cure the symp toms will begin to disappear in exactly the reverse order. There may be at first no perceptible improvement in the earli est symptoms, while the latter symp toms show prompt improvement. This is Exactly What Peruna Will Do In the Cure of Chronic Catarrh. It first invigorates the system, in creases the appetite, then the patient begins to gain flesh, hope takes the place of despondency, and all the mis chievous symptoms which the chronic catarrh has produced will disappear one by one in the reverse order of their ap pearance. cry and before they knew what had happened they were surorunded by a band of Indians and were captured and bound. "We were taken to a tree and bound there securely. There was another prisoner, a stranger to us, who was in the hands of the Indians. He was bound to a separate tree and the fagots were piled around his feet. The savages went to the fire and got a brand which they applied to the fagots. We stood there bound to the tree and in our helpless ness saw him burn and writhe in the flames, and when the ropes which held him burned through he fell forward on the pile of burning fagots. We heard his screams and calls but could do noth ing to aid him. My companion, who was a hercules. burst his bonds and af ter releasing himself cut the bonds from my arms and we escaped. "My companion said to me as we rest ed after our run from the savages: 'This thing can not always exist. It will be supplemented by civilization. His words have come true. In place of tepees and wigwams we have schools and churches. In place of the red man burn ing the white man at the stake the white man now burns the black man and we have civilization. Forty years ago I slept with John Brown with the grass as a mattress and the blue canopy of heaven over us. He told me of his pur pose to free the black man. My blood was hot and feverish. I thought of the wrongs of the black man and agreed with the great man in his ideas. All tha world would call John Brown great today if he was alive. He sowed the seeds of emancipation and through the final red baptism the black man was made free. "But after forty years have we made any progress in Kansas? Did John Brown's teachings materialize? What have we done in forty years? We have the church -and the penitentiary, the public schools and the reform school; we have banks here and almshouses there. What are we doing? We have violaters of the law there and cranks here and between we have the law lov ing people to make the commonwealth secure. After all is our law a veneer? I think not. Thousands are after the truth and the right and with all her faults I still love Kansas. There is no fairer land between the Atlantic and the Pacific. In the national diadem there is no gem that shines brighter or with purer luster than Kansas." SALMON CAKNER COMBINE. One ia Projected to Protect the Busi ness From Labor Agitators. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 30. A series of meetings Is being held by the salmon canners of the Fraser and Northern British Columbia rivers to perfect a combine for the coming season and also to provide protection for the canners from the labor agitators who succeeded in keeping the fishermen from working while the big run of fish was on last year. Every canner on the Fraser is going into-the pool. Fishermen are also active in this direction and have formed five unions on the different rivers, in cluding in their membership Indians a; well as white fishermen. A central au thority is to be appointed to act as the representative of the unions in dealing with the combine. An effort is being made to keep the Cures Made in This Way are Perma nent Cures.

P.nirifw Office Bell 'Phnne lal K. rtrs' Koom Bell "Phone 677 Mrs. Nation has assuraM the role of St. Patrick and la determined to drive the snakes out of Kansas. The present legislature appears to be bent cn demonstrating that a session longer than 50 days is not needed. There are strong- indications that there will be an extra session of con tit ess, provided the surplus holds out. The F.oers s-.pp-ar at last to have reached the conclusion that the only way to get out of the war is to fight out. The tendency of the legislature to fre quent adjournment will make things easy foe the supreme court for the next t w o years. The Indianapolis Journal is disposed to regard the t ix on bank -checks as having a tendency to discourage the payment of debts. Senator Towne was compelled to trample upon senatorial custom or leave without making a speech. He chose to make the speech. One thing Mrs. Nation has done effec tually. She. has disposed of the fiction that there are no saloons in Kansas out fide of Leavenworth, Wichita and Atchison. In sentencing the murderers of Jennie Rosscheiter the judge was held back by the limit of the law. If he could have friven them 100 years there is good rest son to believe he would have done so. Whatever may be the opinion of the public regarding the verdict of the jury in the liosscheiter murder case, the sen tence passed by the judge will be gen-t-ially commended. He did the most he could under the circumstances. The examples in the matter of free "'nm of the press which have been afforded the Filipr.os at Manila are not what "might be called reassuring in their haracter. The banishment of an editor by General MacArthur savors strongly of the Spanish way of carrying on an island government. Commenting on the "court of con ciliation' bill which has been introduced in the Kansas legislature the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says: "The bill marks a step in progress. The provision which gives the court power to compel the at tendance of witnesses and production of records insures the most extensive pub licity. Jto employer or labor union can keep back its case but must frankly re veal its full strength. There seems to le merit in the bill. It promises to be efficient. If the court can compel pub licity, public opinion will do the rest. At any rate while avoiding the compul sory feature, so distasteful to many thoughtful people, it points the way to a final solution of the entire question." MANUFACTURERS RECORD. The record made by the manufactur ers of the United States forms the most striking: feature of the history of our foreign commerce during the period 3 sO-li00. The treasury bureau of statis tics has just completed its analysis of ihe record of our foreign commerce dur ing the calendar year 1900, and a com parison of the figures ths presented with those of 1SU0 and the Intervening years discloses some interesting facts. It shows a remarkable increase in the im portation of manufacturers' materials ami an even greater increase In the ex portation of manufactured goods, whih: in the importation of manufactures there is a decided decrease, showing that the manufacturers hive not only increased their exportations but also in creased the share which they are sup plying of the manufactures consumed in th United States. The importations of foodstuffs have also decreased while the exportations of foodstuffs have materially increase I. showirg that the agricultural producers have not only increased their exporta tions but also increased the share which they supply of the agricultural products ccrsumed in the I'nited States. Dividing the importations into three great classes 1st. Foodstuffs and livj nrltna': 2nd. Manufactures and luxur ies; 3rd. Manufacturers' materials, 'i i fwinJ that foodstuffs and live an1-!-. which in IS:') formed 31.5 per cert i v-e t.l imports, were only 26.4 per f-.-Sit tjf the imports of 1900; manufa -lines and luxuries, which formed ."4.0 per cent of the imports of 1890, -formed but -9 5 per cent in while manu facturers' materials, which formed, hct S4.il per cent of the total imports of 1SV. formed 44 per cent of the total import of 100. On the export side agricultural products, which formed "4 3 per cent of th total domestic exportations cf 1S9 formed only 2.2 per cent of the total In rX: while manufactures which formed but IS. 5 per cent of the total domestic exports in IS'jO, formed 30.4 per cent in Iv.o.

GLOBE SIGHTa From the Atchison Globe When a man dissipates, he feels bad ly three times longer than he has a gooa time. good faith you should occasionally do sonieming welt. Down in her secret heart, every wom an's greatest fear in the world is of some other woman. When a girl gets a silk petticoat On, she gets the notion that she is some thing of a soubrette. We are having green Christmas weather, and the cemeteries are being compelled to let out their belts. When a man looks In a mirror, he says, "How ugly I am!" When a wom an looka in a mirror, Bhe Bays, "How pretty 1 am!" When women get to "visiting" with each other, one of them is pretty sure to tell of some married man who is leading a "double life." If a man has any pieee of household furniture or bric-a-brac that belonged to an ancient ancestor, he is. doubly desirable as a husband. It is said of every dead man that it was in his home circles that his good qualities showed best, even though he slammed doors and got cross with regularity. We apologize for an impious Atchi son man who wishes through The Globe to remind Mrs Carrie Nation that a great deal is being said about Queen Victoria's bier. The women should quit wearing white feathers in their hair. No one admires the white feather, even when It is shown in a w him of fashion. An Atchison 'woman has seventeen kin to write to, and believes she de serves the title of "literary" more than any one else in her. neighbor hood. There is one important thing to learn about the 'men: they can be offended so greatly that a piece of ang"l food cake or a smile will not put them in good humor again. When a woman looks particularly sad and reproachful, her husband knows that she has been re-reading some of his old letters In which, he said he would Love Her Alwavs. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. All family trees are more or less shady. A sunny mood should be long drawn out. It spoils a favor if you are asked to return it. The average man's ambition Is to lower his record. Nothing boosts the value of a bless ing like its removal. Farsightedness ia largely a matter of careful planning. The orator who deals largely in quo tations speaks volumes. An old bachelor says a marriage cer tificate is a noose-paper. When a fool opens his mouth you can see right through him. Sometimes a man avoids lots of worry by having a bad memory. When some men think they are think ing they are only killing time. A good talker is always delighted when he encounters a good listener. When a man compliments a woman she always admires his frankness. It is easier to agree with the average man than it is to convince him. Make the truth your motto and guide and you will be the gainer in the end. A man never realizes how sick he was until the doctor sends in his bill. Drink often brings a man so low that he can't raise the price of a drink. One-half the population of a village knows all about how the other half lives. Don't buy too much ice cream for your best girl, it may cause her love to grow cold. Only those who have plenty of gold ever get anything out of a silver wed ding. People associate with their own kind Just as naturally as water seeks its level. If you would please a woman give her what she wants rather than what she needs. Many a man is known by the com pany of his wife's relations he keeps as an easy mark. Love may be blind, but the girl's father and the dog seldom require the services of an oculist. A successful man is entitled to less praise than the man who makes an- other effort after each failure. Some men seem to have reached the pinnacle of their ambition when they are able to lie like a circus poster. One great trouble with the average man is that when he gets started he doesn't know when to stop. A girl will make almost any sacrifice for the man she loves. She will even give up chewing gum if necessary. It is said that laughter will cure in digestion; but the trouble is when a man has indigestion he doesn't feel like laughing. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. A Walnut street matron alwavs speaks of a divorce as an unmarried woman. Muggins "Our minister is always intense." Buggins "Past, present or future?" The average boy never ceases to wonder at a grown man who obeys the doctor's orders. Some men think they are geniuses when all that is the matter with them Is that they are lazy. When a girl starts to tell a fellow how extravagant be is to buy her flowers and candy, their friends begin to sniff for orange blossoms. The average worna is quick to jump at conclusions and mice. A fellow may live in an attic and still look down on his neighbors. No, Maude, dear; there is no similarity between an ocean greyhound and a bark. The motto of the teetotaler is: "Be sure you are right and then don't get a head." "What Is your favorite role?" asked the interviewer. "The pay-rol," promptly replied the comedian. Blobbs "The life of a detective should be full of variety." Slobbs "Yes, they are the spies of life." You can usually reach a man's heart through his stomach, provided the effort is not side-tracked by indigestion. Hoax "The doctor told me I had a high fever." Joax "How high?" Hoax "His bill makes it out to iiave been a J15 one." Gotrox "The secret of my success is that I have never taken chances." Wig wag "Always steered clear of church fairs, eh?" Wigg "What's the matter with Ejones? Has he joined a suicide club?" Wagg "Well, not exactly; but he has bought a chafing dish." "When a man's shoes leak," Bays the Manayunk Philosopher, "it is small consolation to know that an honest con fession is good for the soul." Wigg "That was a sad experience for Roosevelt." AVagg Do you mean getting treed by wolves?" Wigg "Yes, it was too cloudy for the kinetoscope to work." Some people don't believe in letting their right hands know that their left hands never do anything. Blobbs "Miss Oldgirl isn't the bud she ustd to be." Slobos "No: the looks more like a full-blown century plant." Mrs. Bugs in:? "Henry, I smell rum on your breath. Mr. Buggins 'lesii, m'dear; you shee, I've been to a rum mage sale." JAYHAWKER JOTS.

A car containing 375 dozen of the elite of the Jackson county poultry yards is speeding westward to California. Eligible young men are so scarce in Sterling that youths of a tender age in deed are pressed in as church escorts. It pays to advertise.

King Charles of Por tugal, with a large suite and who was accompanied from Dover by the Portu guese minister, Senhor Pinto de Several, and his staff, reached Victoria station at noon today from Dover. King Charles was met on the platform of the station by Prince Christian of Schleswlg-Hol -stein, in behalf of King Edward and various officials of King Edward's household. His majesty's equerry delivered an autograph message from King Edward to King Charles and the latter and his suite were immediately driven in royal carriages to Buckingham palace. King Charles was warmly greeted by the f iir sized crowds which gathered along tb4 route in anticipation of his arrival. There was no military escort. King Edward visited the King of Portug.il shortly afterwards and subsequently proceeded to Osborne. Large assemb lages everywhere awaited King Edwari and the greetings were very enthusias tic. During the course of the morning. King Edward presided at a meeting of the privy council. The business trans acted was of a formal character.

When the house met today Mr. Taylor (O.), chairman of the committee on elections No. 1, sub mitted the report on the contested elec tion case of Walker vs. Rhea from the ninth, Virginia district. The committee found that while gross frauds and irreg ularities occurred in the election, they fell "very far short' 'of changing the re sult. The committee therefore recom mended that Mr. Rhea, the sitting mem ber,, who is a Democrat, should retain his seat. Messrs. Linney (N.

Records Ara Being Prepared For Sub- mission to Congress. Washington, Ja.n. 20. The war depart ment is collecting data in regard to the case of Mabini, the Filipino insurgent leader, in order to answer the resolu tion adopted by the senate at the in stance of Senator Pettigrew calling for the facts in the case. It appears from his official record that Mabini was cap tured by General Lawton in one of the famous raids in southern Luzon and was sent to Manila as a prisoner of war. He was granted parole and it ia said vio lated his oath by going back among his people and inciting them to sedition and rebellion against the authority of the United States. For this he was again placed in confinement, recently to limit his activities. General MacArthur changed his place of confinement from Manila, to the island of Guam where he will be held as a military prisoner of war.

Cooper Cliffe, who in professional life is always a villain, being at the present moment the chief scoundrel of "The Price of Peace," the largest Drury Lane thriller. "The gentleman," be continues, "who used to iierambulate the stage with a twelve-inch knife, crying for blood, is extinct. To be a thoroughly admir able villain nowadays the most neces sary qualification is sufficiency of mo tive. No one goes about doing evil through sheer cu,ssedness. It would not pay. Then, again, the excellent villain will have his moments of remorse That is why, in my opinion. Spider of The Silver King' is the finest, villain jji melodrama. Another thing, the would-be stage bad man should remem ber is to be natural in his naughtiness. He must not attempt impofisible depths of villainy, for such action in these days is apt to make him look ridiculous Then the successful villain should be dignified. Thereby he gains the respect of his audience. Moreover, he should be the brainiest character in the piay keen, calculating, ambitious. He must also have a sense of humor. The villain who smiles occasionally is more im pressive than the one with the chronic scowl. One other quality he must have power. When he's 'on he must rule the roost, dominating everybody." Boston Post. The Prevention of Malaria. Rome Cor. London Standard. The annual parliamentary report on the measures for improving the sanitary condition and promoting the agricul tural prosperity of the Roman Cam pagna shows that results have been at tained in both respect of an extremely gratifying character. The success at tending the efforts to reduce the pre valence of malaria by extensive drain age works is especially notew-orthy. While therural population of the district is constantly increasing, fever becomes more and more rare. The proportion of fever-stricken lands has, in fact, been reduced from 42 per cent to 5 per cent, and the recent experiments and discov eries as to the causes of malaria are ex pected to lead to the complete banish ment of the evil. Other obstacles, such as the scarcity of drinking water, have been overcome with equal success, while the economic difficulties standing in the way of the prosperity of this formerly pestilential district have been met with sudh energy that applications for land are being received from all parts of It aly. The cultivation of the region under the new conditions has, in many in stances, yielded splendid results, and a number of private individuals are now investing considerable capital in carry ing out further improvements.
