Mrs. Nation's Work Directs Atten tion to Executive Department- Mrs. Nation received a letter from Rich mond this morning explaining that peti tions are being circulated in different communities. They are headed as shown Ueiow: To W. S. Finley. Member of the House of Representatives, Topeka. Kan.: From the interviews of Mrs. Nation with Governor- Stanley and Attorney Gen eral Goaard in which both those officials hold that they are 'powerless to see Unit the laws of the slate are enforced, and in view of the fact thai the constitution of our state (article 1. section 3 specif ically provides that "The supreme execu tive power of the state shall be vested in the governor, who shall see that the laws Court This Morning. are faithfully executed," it is very evi dent that there is something- radically wrong in our laws when they do not give our executive and his assistants power to do just what our constitution makes their specific duty to do, and that such a wrong should be speedily remedied by proper legislation. Tncrcfore, we, the citizens of Richmond, Fr-iukiin county. Kansas, do most ear nestly pray that you will immediately cad to the attention of our legislature, nrr in session, the very grave and de pinrable condition of the executive de partment of our state. For. we are like the Jews of old. who had eyes to see, but paw not. and ears to hear, but heard not. We have Taws, bin enforce not, and an executive, but execute not. 3J1RS. NATION IN CHICAGO. Plans for Her to Address the Press Club Are Made. A report from Chicago says that ar rangements have been completed by the Press club of Chicago and Mrs. Nation whereby she will lecture at the Audi torium next Tuesday under the auspices of the Press club. Mrs. Nation's visit, according to her friends, will.be a .peaceful one, as she 'i r will not undertake to destroy any sa loons in Chicago. Her visit to Chicago, it is asserted, is merely to place the situation in Kansas before the people and to ask aid in the suppression of the illegal liquor traffic in Kansas. Mrs. Nation has an engagement in Kansas City tomorrow and in Des Moines for. Sunday and Monday. Her trial in the city court is set for Satur day morning and she may have to change her plans on that account, but she expects to go to Chicago. NEARLY KILLED IN A JOINT. Jointists Fight and Henry Shaffer is Badly Hurt. Henry Shaffer waa assaulted in TJu rein's joint last night about 8 o'clock and he now lies at Christ hospital in a critical condition. "Hank" Shaffer, as he is generally known, claims that he went into the place shortly before 8 o'clock and that Frvtz Durein and his wife assaulted him with a stove poker. No one seems to have been in the joint besides those in the fig'ht. Shaffer was thrown out the front door and was found on the side walk unconscious by Bert Russell who runs a joint across the street from where the fight took place. Dr. H. H Keith was called and Shaffer was re moved to the hospital. Shaffer's wound? were as follows: Fractured skull in front. Seven stitches taken in scalp at back of head. Five stitches taken in scalp over right temple. Left ear nearly torn from the head. Left arm broken. Right hand severely cut. Roth cheeks cut. Two wounds on back inflicted by po ker. INVITED BY BREWING CO. Bradford Company Wants Her at Its Opening." Mrs. Nation received' a printed invi tation from the Bradford Brewing com pany of Bradford, Pa., to attend the opening of the new brewery there. The invitation card read as follows: "The Bradford Brewing company cor dially invites yourself and friends to visit and inspect its new brewing plant Monday and Tuesday, February 4th. and Sth. Ladies' day Wednesday." The brewing company might not en joy a real, typical smashing sort of a visit from Mrs.. Nation. JOINTISTS ARE ARRESTED. Chief Stahl Gathers Them in For Disobeying Him. The police yesterday afternoon arrest ed six of the jointists who had disobeyed Chief Stahl's famous order to close until Mrs. Nation leaves, town.

Friend of Mrs. Nation Replies to a Critic A few days ago the judges and law yers of Kansas City held a meeting. One of the speakers spoke of the majtSty of the law ar.d the respect which should be paid to it. Then he referred, to the crusade of Mrs. Nation indirectly. He said that most of the members of the bar knew that he was not a prohibitionist either in practice or theory, but he added that he hated to see even a- prohibition clause in a constitution trampled underfoot. And Continued on Sixth Fage-I '-.4"'-r-' f- HG DAY Morning Dawns Bright and Cold on the Occasion Of the Marriage of the Young 0,ueen of Holland. THRONGS OF PEOPLE Line the Stands, Koofs and Windows of the lioute Traversed by the Bridal Party to the Church. The Civil Ceremony Takes Place at 11:30. The Hague, Feb. 7. The weather on this the morning of the day of the wed ding of Queen Wilhelmina to Prince Henry of Meeklenburg-Sehwerin.though fine Is intensely cold. The stands, the windows and the roofs along the line of the route to the Groote Kerke are thronged with people. The civil seremony of the marriage of Queen Wilhelmina to Duke Henry of Macklenburg-Schwerin was carried out at 11:30 a. ki. in accordance with the programme. Immediately afterwards the proces sion started for the church headed by 50 Hussars, the bride, bridegroom and queen mother riding in a golden state carriage, drawn by eight hoi-ses. They were warmly acclaimed by the crowds assembled. The church was reached soon after noon. The court chaplain, Dr. Van Der Vlier, standing before the bride and bride groom, delivered an address. His text was from the Fourth Psalm: "Lord lift Thou up the light- of Thy countenance upon' us." "The festival hour has arrived," said the pastor, "wherein the entire people has its share of delight. The prayer contained in the text embodies the es sential conditions for lasting married happiness which does not depend upon external things, but on the disposition of the heart. The prayer for the light of the Lord's countenance seems to suggest some darkness and it is certain clouds will show themselves at times in he conjugal heaven. "This union, w hich we today are cele bating has already demanded sacrifices The husband has had to leave his coun try and people and th bride has had to leave the side of a dearly loved mbther. In the future, too, be sure the reverses of life will fall to your lot. Do not then forget the prayer of David: Lord lift Thou up the light of Thy coun tenance upon us.'. It will be necessary for you if you are to fulfill thoroughly the duty of marriage, to fulfill the duty of love in your mutual relations. In that relation man is the head and wo man is the heart. The Psalm in this prayer will also be your help when you have to bear your mutual burdens; for in marriage two sinners are united, each having his. and her faults. Finally, it is indispensable to the unity whereto you have been called. "According to the command of God, 'These two shall be one.' Now only love can form and preserve this tie. But if you wish this bond not to be loosened, your heart must be filled with prayer. "Lord lift Thou up the light of Thy coun tenance upon us.' After the chaplain's address and after the nuptial benediction had been pro nounced the bride and bridegroom ex changed gold rings, according to the Dutch custom and the wedding party then proceeded to the reception room, attached to the church, where the queen tenderly embraced first her mother and then her husband. The queen's mother, loo, kissed him. Trie bridegroom then kissed his bride and his own mother. The newly wedded pair received the congratulations of their families and drove to the palace over the same route they had previously traversed. A gala wedding breakfast followed. The city today bore its most festival appearance. Vast crowds were in the streets early and trains poured in thou sands from all parts of the country. The route of the royai procession to the Grootekerk was decorated with large baskets of green plants, lightened by orange blossoms and white -roses, tied in large knots. The weather though fine was intensely cold. The stands, the windows and the roofs along the line of the route to the Grootekerk were thronged with-people. The church was filled with representa tives of all classes cf society inHolland, and foreign representatives. The" queen looked very .handsome', in her wedding dress and the brilliant un iforms and bright decorations made a picturesque scene. On the occasion of her 'marriage, Queen Wilhelmina has pardoned or lightened the sentences of364 prisoners. A JOYOtTS REVEL. Royal Wedding Is Made the Occasion For Much. Jollity. New York, Feb. 7. A dispatch to the Tribune from The Hague says: There was on the eve of the royal wedding the same joyous revel, innocent merriment and good humor as on the two previous nights. The characteristic Dutch traits have come out at this mar riage carnival. The queen has not fa vored a "mafiage de convenance," nor been influenced by state reasons, but has made a love match, and this appeals to the genuine hqme loving instincts of her Dutch subjects. They are not en amoured of her German lover, but. thej perceive that she is, and respect her choice. They are celebrating ther event in their own way, with naive simplicity and Kinceiity. This is a nation of. music lovers and the choral societies have been singing daily in the streets. There is at artistic strain in their blood, and this lias bean shown in the harmonies of col or in the street decorations and cos tumes for the pageants. There is an artless and unaffected joy in life among the thrifty and calculating Dutch burg hers, and this has found an expression in bright and whimsical talent for pro ducing a carnival of innocent gayety ir. the streets night after night, until the foreign spectators are at a loss to un derstand how the people of The Nether lands ever came to have the reputation of being cold, staid and phelgmatic. The queen is received everywhere by her subjects in a democratic way. ana understands them, and is thoroughly at iiome among them. There are many royal guests at the palace and the hotels and the dignity of the court is main- twined by mounted escorts for the state j carriages and liveries ar;d guards of -honor, but the queen herself is a ro HER 17E00I mantic figure among the home-loving, domestic people. She is less girlish and plumper than at the installation cere monies three years ago, but she is still handsome, and has a charming grace of manner. She looks as happy as a bride ouf,ht to be on the eve of marriage, and the bridegroom is tall, manly and has a dignified carriage. Ail the world loves a lover, and the Dutch romance Is pure and sentimental. THE BRIDE'S TROUSSEAU Wedding Gown Woven of Silver and Made in Paris. The Hague, Feb. 7. The queen's wed ding gown, woven of the finest silver tissue, was embroidered at the school of art needle work in Amsterdam and was afterward made up by Nicaud of Paris. It is ornamented with silver threaded seed pearls. The robe and train are lined with rich white silk. The bodice, which is plain and cut low, is trimmed with magnificent antique lace. The trails are covered with embroidery almost meeting at the waist and broad ening over the hem. The court train is two and one-half yards long, the em broidery running around in light trails The Queen Mother always wears on state occasions some shade of purple befitting her matronly figure. She ap peared in a gown of Parma violet wuu a long train of deeper shade. The bodice is cut low and trimmed with priceless brussels lace, of which she has a large stock and mousseline de soie. The gowns of the queen's trousseauare mostly pale greens, grays, blues and whites, these suiting her blonde com plexion best. Her bonnets are of a se vere style for a young woman, most of them being close fitting toques instead of the broad brimmed hats worn by most girls. For her public entering into Amster dam her majesty has a royal robe of white velvet with a train trimmed with ermine and a mantle lined with ermine. At one of the receptions in Amsterdam after the honeymoon she will wear -a gown of white satin embroidered around the hem and bodice with a small tracery of oranges and leaves and a court train of rich orange velvet, lined with white silk. She has an outdoor gown of delicate gray, combined with white and pale blue, scarcely showing embroidered steel and silver sequines. With this goes a large hat. She has also a buff hunt ing costume of dark bottle green un ornamented and another of trimmed cloth applique. There is a walking dress of dark green with gold threads and an other of green mignonette cloth, com bined with white. The queen has four plain riding habits.

NELSON APPROVES He Has Put His 0. K. on the Bill. Would Preserve the State Uni formity Feature. Chairman Grattan of the house educa tion committee introduced today the new ly drafted school text book bill. It is to supplant all bills on the subject pre viously introduced and comes more nearly satisfying -everybody interested. It provides that the name of each bidder shall be written upon the outer covering of the sealed bid, and after the bidding is closed, each bidder shall make an affi davit before the chairman and secretary' of the commission that he is no wise party to any plan that will prevent com petitive bidding. This provision will se cure competitive bidding and will bring to the commission more and better books for adoption than is possible under the present law. The maximum prices of the books are re adjusted in line with the recommendation of State Superintendent Frank Nelson in his biennial report. Provision is made for supplemental books and the arrangement for the sal of .the text books to patrons of the schools is the same as under the present law, with the additional order that agen cies shall be established in all towns of 4t)0 inhabitants situated twelve miles or more from the county seat. The ex change and state uniformity provisions of the act of 187 are preserved. The necessity of bidding on completed books is included in the measure, which means that books that are only in proof or in manuscript cannot be adopted by th1 commission. The teachers are said to be satisfied with -the assurance of a better class of boks by reason of the raised maximum. Tnis will let in a wider rtuige of books to be selected from anil is a sop to the book trust since district ownership failed of adoption and uniformity is maintained. It makes an opening for a figrht now by the "ins"' to keep their books on the list and it is expected that some objection will' come from patrons about extrava gance. The following is a comparative schedule of the, maximum prices; of books under the law of lh7 and the proposed bill.

Ever, since half past 7 o'clock this morning the respective lobbies in the Girard-Pittsburg right over the Craw ford, county court division, were si ra tioned at all avenues to the house. Tha battle was mainly fought out in cosii miuee of the whole yesterday, but th'-rc. were hopes until roll-call waft puft. -Strong lobbi- s have, been maintainr-l by both factions here ever since the leg islature met. Bill Ryan, of KrazjH'-rt. led the opposition to the bill, and Fit--! Wheeler, of Pittsburg, marshaled the petitioner's forces. Jerry Simps n dropped in last night in. the heat of the strife and battled on behalf of Clr-nrd. It was a losing Pirht for the latter cty, however, although there was a skirmish over the vote, and a call of the house was; made to bring in the members be fore the majority point was reached. Nation of Neosho created a stir by challenging -the record of the vote of Riling of Douglas, who was recorded as voting aye and had gone out of the house.

Pons and Roeber HaTe a Long Fierce Struggle. Stopped by Gotham Police Be fore "iilclglit. ONE HOUR AND QUARTER The Frenchman Had Slightly llest of the Bout. But Could Never Down the Agile American. New Tork, Feb. 7. For one hour and seventeen minutes Ernest Roeber, the American champion wrestler and thi Freich champion, Paul Pons, struggled fur supremacy la a roped ring In Madi son -Square. Garden last nig-ht. They might b'S.ve gone on fur another hour, but the arbitrary order 0 Police Inspec tor Thompson, h declared that he would not allow the bout to go on after midnight, stopped the match in a most unsatisfactory manner at midnight. Pons held the upperhand at nearly ev ery stage of the contest, but he lacked the cleverness of the smaller man, was never caught unawares at any moment. Ktcber, though by many years the older and in stature far interior to the big foreigner, more than held his own. The attendance was 7,000. PITZ PICKS JEFFRIES. Ha Discusses the Strong and Weak Points of Both Fighters. New Tork, Feb. 7. Bob Fitzsimmons broke his silertce today and named Jef fries as the winner o the coming cham pionship light. "I think Jeffries will win his coming battle," said Fitzsimmons. "This is the first time I have ever tried to pick the winner of a championship fight. "It's a bad practice, and I'm only led to do it this time by the many inquiries I have received as to the probable out come of-the contest. It is purely from a ring follower's viewpoint that I base my reasons for thinking that Jeffries will defeat Billy Uadden's' champion. "Jeffrie has many advantage over Ruhlin. Most Important of these are his ability to stand punishment, his hit ting powers and his weight. "These are the advantages Jeffries has in his own strength. There are other advantages which he has in Ruh lins weaknesses. They are: Kuhlin's inability to hit a knockout blow; Ruh lin's tendency to become a bit rattled when things are coming fast, and Ruh lin's weak body defense. "Jeffries' strong points and Ruhlln's' weak points outweigh, I think, Kuhlin's strong points and Jeffries' weak points. Therefore, where does Ruhlin figure to put Jeffries out? 1 TURF WRITERS ORGANIZE. Main Object Is to Add Some Dignity to Position of Racing Critic. New Orleans, Feb. 7. The visiting and local turf writers yesterday organized the Turf Writers' Association of Amer ica. Frank Bryan of New Tork was elected chairman, while Hugh E. Keogh, of Chicago, was elected secretary and I. T. Murray, also of Chicago, treasurer. One of the main objects of the associa tion is to add some dignity to that of a turf critic, which at the present time Is lost by the unlimited issuance of press badges to other than reputable and rec ognized turf critics. The men who re port the races have for years stood sponsor fhr the act of others, who by some hook or crook have been able to secure press badges. It is the intention of the association to remedy this evil and to bring the responsibilities to the? proper source. Racing scribes all through the west will be asked to lend their aid by uniting in the effort to wipe out the evils that have developed through a lack of organization. BEVOLTJTTION- IN AUTOMOBILES Russian Inventor Discovers a New System of Locomotion. New Tork, Feb. 7. A new automobile has been invented by a Russian named Hutal Serky, says an exchange. He has discovered a new system of locomotion based on the use of a certain kind of salt, the composition of which Is as yet his secret. Two pounds of this salt is placed In the box of the automobile and, subject ed to a certain heat, forms a gas which puts a cylinder in movement. The auto mobiles that were tried In Moscow pro duced the best results. The Emperor of Russia, who takes great interest in this invention, intends to send Serky to Paris to make known his secret. The Russian press is of the opinion that it win cause a great revolution in the trade. BADGERS WANT BOXERS. Wisconsin Legislators May Allow Ten-Round Contests. Milwaukee, "Wis., Feb. 7. A bill will be introduced during the present session of the Wisconsin legislature to legalize ten-round boxing contests, increasing the number of rounds from six. This feature will be interesting to Milwaukee patrons of the fistic game, as it will leave an avenue open for the introduc tion here to some of the leading fighters In the west tinder competent manage ment. Assemblyman Karel said today that there had been considerable agitation this winter relative to giving boxing clubs more leeway than they had here tofore enjoyed, and for the purpose of encouraging the organization of a box ing club which would bring to Milwau kee the best talent available, it had been suggested that ten-round bouts should be permitted under new regulations, which will be drawn up this week and introduced. He said the fact alone that Chicago was devoid of boxing contents would In dicate that the men who formerly met in competition in that city could be secured If ten rounds .were permitted, as an addition to the number of rounds would be conducive of securing a larger attendance at contests than, now seems available. ECHULTE IS SATISFIED. Louisville Turfman Not Worried Over the Allotment of Dates. Louisville. Ky., Feb. 7. The general turf public of Louisville believes that W. F. Schulte had a few things done to him while in Chicago, but the local Jockey club's president denies that thii is true and says he is perfectly satisfied and contented over what was done by the new turf body. According to the new schedule of dates adopted Louisville will have but 12 racing days this spring, while Memphis gets 21 racing days. I am perfectly satisfied with what took place in Chicago," said Schulte yesterday afternoon. "It is true that six racing days have been lopped off ou; meeting, but under the new arrange ment we will have 12 clean rafting days entirely without opposition. Under the old schedule the Louisville meeting com peted with the racing at Nashville.New port, St. Louis and Chicago." "Did you have any intimation that your meeting would he curtailed before you left for Chicago?" was asked. "No. I did not," Schulte replied. "How ever. I am sure the Western Jockey club did not intend to antagonize me or the people I represent by increasing the length of the Memphis meeting." WONT SELL H'GINNITY. Brooklyn Refuses to Dicker With, St Louis Por the Great Pitcher. St. Louis. Feb. 7. President Frank Tie H. Robison of the St. Louis base ball club has been trving hard to land "Iron Man" MefJinnity from the Brooklyn club, but his efforts have been unavailing. Act ing upon the statement that MJinnity was sincere in his desire to play in St. Louis the coming season, and would not return to Hanlon'9 forces unless com pelled to, Mr. Robsion entered into cor respondence with President C. H. Kbbetn of the Brooklyn club. The chief executive of the local club did not make Mr. Ebbets a direct offer for McGinnity, but aFked if there was any use to open negotiations for the release of the great pitcher. Mr. EbbetV reply, under date of January was brief, but positive: "I desire to say in positive terms that we would not for one minute think of re leasing McGinnity." Mr. Roblson states that he is making every possible effort to secure to pitchers and two infielders for the local club, but that his efforts thug far have met with absolutely no success. He was offered a hrt class twlrler by one of the eastern clubs, but the magnate wanted "Rhody" Wallace and one other player in exchange, and. of course, that put a stop to the ne gotiations. HART SNERS AT RIVALS. Declares That Their Offers to Player Are of No Value. Chicago, Feb. 7. President Hart of the Chicago National league club met Presi dent Johnson and Charley Comiiskey on the street yesterday. Hart is said to have congratulated his base ball rivals in their ability to win the players' favor by offer ing inducements which Hart says are of no more value than straws to a drowning man. "Where would you farm your play ers?" asked Hart. "To whom would you sell?" "The statements made by the American leaguers are all right, but what does it cost them to make them?" was the way Hart stated it. "What sacrifice is the American league making? Wherein do you take so much credit to yourselves for your acts? The National agreement pro vides for the drafting and selling of play ers, but there are several leagues, one major and a number of minor, working under the agreement. The American has no minor league clubs to draw from, so the resolutions passed at the recent meet ing and which were sent broadcast over the country by the press amount to noth ing as far as showing any concessions on the part of the magnates." WORK ON GROUNDS TO BEGIN. American League Will Provide Excel lent Accommodations at Boston. Boston. Mass., Feb. 7.

The Appointment of More Cadets Is Suggested as a Remedy. Washington, Feb. 7. Senator Hale has submitted to the senate a number of communications from the secretary of the navy concerning naval affairs. One of these is a list showing the names of vessels purchased for the navy during the war with Spain, together with the prices paid and also a list of such vessels which have been sold, together with the prices received for them. The latter in cludes the following: Niagara, $200,000, sold for $75,000; Badger, $367,000, sold for $135,000; Reso lute, $475,000, sold for $250,000; Vulcan, $S50,000, sold for $175,750; Cassius, $160. 094, sold for purchase price; Scipio, $S5, 769. sold for $S0,125; Hector, $200,000, sold for $85,150. Another of the documents was a state ment showing the disposition of officers of the navy. It shows that of the 1.782 officers, 1,013 were at sea on the first of January last. The one admiral (Dewey) was on shore duty, as also were 13 of the IS rear admirals. The third document presented was a statement of the need of the navy for additional line officers below the grade of lieutenant commander, compiled from recommendations of the secretary and the chief of the bureau of naviga tion. The contention is made in the last document that many of the existing ves sels are inadequately officered, and that 900 officers will be required for new ves sels now ordered and for old vessels In reserve. In view of these needs the rec ommendation is made that the naval ap propriation bill be amended so to au thorize the appointment of two cadets by each senator and representative in congress and for the appointment of ten cadets at large. HELD BACK BY HAY. Charged With Delaying Accept ance of Canal Treaty. New Tork. Feb. 7. W, T. Stead, in a dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from London says: "The accession of King Edward may lead to a pacific settlement of the Nica ragua canal question. The king and his ministers do not wish to begin the new reign with a wrangle with America about a question in which no substantial British interests are involved. "No serious person cares two straws for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which for all practical purposes has been for years as dead as a door nail. It is felt that every consideration of good feeling and good policy should prompt the ministers to waive all mere questions of form and procedure in order to begin the new reign by a signal act of friendship, dem onstrating the reality of the ties which unite the English speaking world. "There is reason to believe that the treaty would be accepted as it stands were it not for representations, which whether well founded or not, are ac cepted as correct, that such course would not be regarded with favor by some member or members of President McKinley'9 cabinet. If Secretary Hay were to cable to Mr. Choate authorizing him to authoritatively contradict the re port that any member of the McKtnley cabinet would regard acceptance of the amended treaty with displeasure, the way would be cleared for the king to signalize the beginning of his reign by bringing this! controversy to an amicable issue." 1 KICH GRAVEL.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7. 1001. r mi "no ah fipw Eij? Western Koads SaM to Be in Important Deal. Santa i, Hock Island End Southern Pacific in It. IMPORTANT PROJECT. Syndicate of Bankers to Control the Hock Island. Tanderbilt ObtainsLarge South ern Pacific Interests. It is reported that an Important deal is on in the east between the Santa Fe, Rock Island and the Southern -Pacific. For some time there has been a close understanding- between, the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific retarding the handling of southwestern traffic The Rook Ipiand knowing this threatened to disturb the friendly relations between those two roads by building- extensions and acquiring lines by which it might connect with the Southern Pacific and Mexican Central at Kl Paso, Tex. It seems that in some way the Rock Island may go into the control of a syn dicate which will be composed of the strong bankers who have long- been in terested in the Santa Fe and the South ern Ia.cith'. Through H. H. Harriman, who was re centlv admitted to the directory of the Pacific Mali, which now belongs to the Southern Farilie, the Vanderbilts have htaino.l a very large interest in the Southern Pacific. In fact, it is stated in pome quarters that ultimately the Van derbilts will be found to be in control of the property. A syndicate formed by financiers, "including the Vanderbilts, end bavin? connections abroad, acquired recently the holdings of Southern Pa cific stock which were taken up not long a?o by a smaller syndicate, headed by Speyer Co., which purchased the old holdings of the Crocker estate and Mrs. I.oiand Stanford. With the securities held by the estate of C. P. Huntington, the new syndicate- ts in a positi'm to ab solutely control Southern Pacific affairs. As a sort of "go-between." D. O. Hills v'cup!rs a position of great importance between the Kock Island and the Santa Fe. His holdings are very large in both properties, and atia t-entiy he is opposed to the policy of the executive officers of the Rock Island of unsettling- the rail- j wav situation in the southwest by en- I .broaching upon the business which the Southern Pacific and t'ne Santa Fe have recently had absolutely in their own .control. The first matter to be settled will be the heading oft' of the proposed extension of the Rock Island to reach Kl Paso. This was first attempted through th Pecos Val!ey road, which the Santa Fe acquired in order to pre vent it falling- into the hands of the I-took Island. As the Rock Island is rather close'y held, and has a much smaller capitalization than either of the other linos, the easiest method to pursue would be its acquisition rather than the attempted taking- up of either of the other properties. PROTECTIVE BUREAU FORMED. Passenger Associations Will Co-operate Against Scalpers. Chicago. Feb. 7. A protective bureau with which all of the passenger associ ations will co-operate will, it is said, result from the meeting of the chairmen of the various passenger associations held here for the purpose of devising means to protect the railroads from ticket manipulation, either by scalpers or by the railroads themselves. The chairmen who met here today composed the "protective cotnmittt e against ticket scalpircr" appointed at the meeting of the American Association of General P:issensor and Ticket Agents in Buffalo in last October. The committee is com-, j-ost-d of F. C. Donald, of the Central Passenger association; K. K. Method. Western Passenger association: James Char't en. Transcontinental Passenger association: Joseph Richardson. South eastern Passnircr association; C. M. Pratt. Southern Pa.sseng.--r bureau; X. K. Weeks. N-v Kngland IJassenger associ ation, and L P. Farmer, Trunk Line as EeeUition. The bureau will be empowered to TO CURE THE GRIP. Advice of a Famous Physician. First and foremost REST. Take care of yourself. Your already weakened nerves want rest, and must have it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatali ties result from neglect of this pre oautioa than from any other cause. Eat sparingly. Your digestive or gans are in no condition to take care of large quantities of food. Drink plenty of pure, cold -water. It allays the fever, stimulates the kid neys to action and opens up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles' Xerve and Liver Pills.

A FHEXC1I QUARREL Involving Theatrical Managers and Dramatic Critics. New Tork. Feb. 7. A Paris dispatch to the Herald says: Managers of the Ambigu Theater have brought a veritable hornet's nest about their ears by excluding: the oublic from the front at dress rehearsals. M. Leo Kerst. the Petit Journal's critic. retorts that no power on earth can force mm or nis nrotner critics to attend tne Ambigu production twice. He thinks it absurd to suppose that the presence of a partial audience such as generally as sembles at a dress rehearsal, can Influ ence the critic one way or the other, and asks the managers whether they are not trying to advertise tneir nouse. On the other hand M. Lemonnier. the Matin's critic, continues to advocate the exclusion of outsiders from a dress re hearsal. He declares that a critic can- riot do his work properly unless he at tends Doth tne dress rehearsal and the premiere. The public does not want, he says, tne critic s private opinion, but the opinion of the audience. It is mis leading the critic to 113 1 the house with authors and managers' friends, as haD- pens at dress rehearsals."

Of catarrh remedies, there is no end. but of ctarrh cures, there has always been a great scarcity. There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really curei The old practice of snuffing salt water through the nose would often relieve and the washes, douches, powders and en halers in common .use are very little, if any, better than the old fashioned salt water douche. The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a. blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and it can not be cured by local treatment any more than they can be. To cure catarrh, whether in the head. throat or stomach an internal antiseptic treatment is necessary to drive the catarrhal poison out of the blood and system, and the new catarrh cure is de signed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart s Catarrh Tablets is because being used Internally, it drives out catarrhal infection through action upon the stomach, liver and bowels. Wm. Zimmerman, of St. Joseph, re lates an experience witb catarrh which is of value to millions of catarrh suf ferers everywhere. He says: "I neglect ed a slight nasal catarrh until it gradu ally extended to my throat and bron chial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became effected, but as I was able to keep up and do a day's work I let it run along until my hearing began to fail me and then I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or lose my posi tion as I was clerk and my hearjng was absolutely necessary. Some of my friends recommended an inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but they were no good in my case, nor was anything else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They benefitted me from the start and, in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh although I had suffered nearly all my life from it. They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use' than other catarrh remedies that I feel I can not say enough in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets." A little book on cause and cure of catarrh will be mailed free by address ing F. A. Staurt Co.. Marshall. Mich., and the tablets are sold by all druggists in the United States and Canada.

All the evidence presented to the committee will be weighed with utmost care and impar tiality. "Rev. F. W. Emerson and Mr. A. C. Rankin have been duly notified that the charges which they made at the conven tion or any other charges which they see fit to make must be in writing and in the hands of the committee not later than February 10.

The following is a press notice furnished by the manager: "Mr. Rostell has won a high reputation in 'Hamlet.' With a lithe and symmetri cal figure, a face capable of sharply mi noring every passion, carriage at once elastic, graceful and majestic, and a voice musical, modulated and strong, his ex ecution of hi conception of this' part is as true to nature as the conception was true to Shakespeare. He is constantly winning recognition by both press and public on the excellence of his presenta tion of this most interesting character. There is not in the whole of Shake speare's characters one so exacting, one requiring so much experience and art as .Hamlet, yet Mr: Rostell exhibits in it a marvelous talent. He is a very painstak ing actor, careful of both gesture and facial expression. That Rostell is already great no plavgoer will deny; that he is a finished artist and a devout student none will dispute." Saturday at the Crawford the famous and much talked of play "The Little Min ister" will be presented. There have been in the past few years a great many suc cesses in the play line, but none that has in any way equalled that made by this one. Charles Frohman has produced many plays, but this one has surpassed anything that he has ever had before. It Is hardly necessary to go into details regarding it everyone is familiar with Mr. J. M. Barrie's "The Little Minister," the story from which it is taken, and all will be anxious to witness the perform ance. May Smith Robblns, who is starring in the musical melodrama "Little Trixie," j is said to be one of the greatest dancers in America, and her comedy work is far above the average in its quaint humor and charming artlessness.

Russell Sage is quoted as deploring the tendency toward railroad consolidation, and giving as one of his reasons for feel ing as he does that the combinations that are being made are likely to awaken increased public hostility to the railroads. Mr. Safe's pesstmism in creases interest in the tendency toward consolidation which now prevails among railroads much as it was recently man ifested among industrial concerns. The laiiroad lines of the country are already (.'louped in five principal combinations, ivhieh are detailed below: Vanderbilt Croup New York Central, Ft tt Albany, West Shore, Lake Shore Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, Lake F.rie Western, Big Four, Nickel Plate, Chicago Northwestern, Delaware it Hudson. Ontario W est ern, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Chicago, St. 1'aul. Minneapolis Omaha.. Pennsylvania Group Pennsylvania railroad system, Chesapeake Ohio, Norfolk Western. Baltimore St Ohio, Haitimore Ohio Southwestern, West ern New York and Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. Morgan-RockefelW-Hlll Group Erie, Philadelphia A Heading, Jersey Central, I:high Valley, Southern system, Monoii, Ureal Northern, Northern Pacific, Chi cago. Milwaukee St. Paul, Missouri, Kansas Texas, lH-laware, Lackawan na Western, and Mobile Ohio. Harriman Group Illinois Central, Chi- uifo Alton. Kansas City Western, St. Ijouia, Peoria. Northern, and Chi cago Terminal Transfer. Gould Group Missouri Pacific, St. Louis Southwestern, Texas Pacific, v.".!lish. and International Great Northern. In addition to the railroads embraced in the groups outlined in the foregoing are a number of lines which up to the pn sent time have not been absorbed in pny of the groups. Most of these iso lated lines have well defined leanings toward one or the other of the groups, and logically will eventually be assimi lated. It seems quite likely that a new prouj) will be formed with the Santa Fe its the nucleus. The detached roads are t ne Santa Fe, the St. Louis San Fran cisco, the Louisviile A Nashville, the MtnneapoliH St. Ixmis, the Iowa Cen tral, th Chicago Great Western, the Rock Island, the Wisconsin Central, the Nf-vs- Tors. New Haver Hartford, the !;rston efr Maine, the Seaboard Air Line and the Plant system. The "nkeMhood that after the groups are fvilly developed they will in turn be 4. a ia consolidate with cue another is one or the prospects that is Indeed Btartlmg, because of the magnitude of the) interests involved if for no other reason. It -docs not follow, as Mr. Sage would have It appear, that the mere fact of railroad consolidation will awaken public hostility to the railroads. The feeling of the public toward the rail roads is certain to be responsive to the attitude of the railroads toward the public. If the combined railroads per form their service better and without discrimination between the big and lit tle shipper's the public will applaud the policy of consolidation. Much more than the industrial concerns which have consolidated the railroads will be able to reduce charges because, while oper ating expenses may be materially re duced, there has been no great increase of capitalization as was the case in the industrial consolidations. The attituoe of the people toward the consolidated railroads can be made friendly or re sentful as the railroad managers elect. NEW TJSES FOR ALUMINIUM Ten years ago (1S90) the productions of aluminium and its alloys in the Uni ted States amounted to about 61,0i3 pounds,' valued at $1 per pound a re duction of about 50 per cent in cost per pound and an increase of about 50 per cent in production as compared with the official figures for the previous year. In 1900 the production in this country alore was about 7,000,000 pounds, and the cost of the commercially pure metal wis about 30 cents per pound. New uses have been found for this metal which will suffice to account for the enormous Increase in its production. In the first place aluminium has been largely substituted for copper in the manufacture of cables for the transmis sion of powerful currents of electricity over long distance lines. Perhaps the most interesting power transmission plant employing an aluminium line is that of the Telluride Power company, of Utan. This company t now distributes electric current equivalent to more than 2,000-horse power of mechanical energy over an S0-mi!e circuit extending froi i its generating plant at Provo, Utah, to the mines at Meicur and Tintlc. Plans have been prepared for doubling the ca pacity of the cables and also for in creasing the current from 40,000 volts to 60,000 volts. At Niagara Falls there are two short aluminium transmission linej which convey a current equivalent to 4,000-horse power. Tacoma and Seattle are both provided with electric force for power purposes, lighting and trolley car propulsion by the Snoqualmine FalU Power company, which laid the first large installation of aluminium trans mission cable over a line 34 miles in length. When the plant shall have been entirely completed about 12,000-horse power will be distributed over this cir cuit. The Blue Lakes Power company, of California, has an installation at Blue Lakes, and conveys 1,000-horse power of electrical current a distance of 345 miles to Stockton over a new aluminium cab e which has just been substituted for a smaller experimental line of the same metal. It Is stated that about 500 tons of wire was used, which at the low val uation of 30 cents a pound would repre sent an investment of over $30Q,0O0 in metal alone. There are Quite a number of other aluminium transmission lines in operation in this country. The most daring scheme of all, how ever, is the plan of a company which has been formed to supply electricity for power and lighting purposes to San Francisco from a generating station in the Sierra Nevada mountains, 150 mile distant. Without attempting to give a complete list of all the aluminium trans mission plants that are now in success ful operation in this country, we have hej-e mentioned a sufficient number to show the value of this new industrial application of the -interesting metal which, in the form of alumina (oxide of aluminium), is the chief component of the ciay forming the crust of the earth. GLOBE SIGHia From the Atchison Globe. People revise their list of heroes every three or four years. When a man throws himself away, it can be always depended upon that some woman will find him. Every woman knows 'of people who can be described in no other words but -a trifling good-for-nothing set." An Atchison woman who has won 12 prizes at card parties this winter, is un der the doctor's care, threatened with nervous prostration from overwork. If a woman ever taught school, she is referred to as "the school teacher" to the day of her death, unless she mar ries. Atchison people still refer to "Miss Blank, the school teacher," though she? hasn't been inside a school room in 20 years. An Atchison girt recently married a well-to-do out of town man, and thera has been considerable curiosity as to where she met him. It is stated today that she became acquainted with him through a matrimonial paper! Well, did you ever in your whole life! An Atchison man who had a good jcb was always looking for something to do on the side, in order that he might mak? extra, money. He neglected his main work for the side line, and was dis charged. There Is a suggestion in th'S for lots of people. A good way to outwit the Fireside Ca dets would be to have no mirrors in the saloons. Why should there be mirrors in a saloon, anyway, if the proprietor wishes to encourage trade? Surely the bleared-eyed, frowsy headed reflection a man sees in a saloon mirror isn't a Eight inviting him to come back for an other look. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Clubs are trumps in the policeman's game. It's a good reputation that can't ac quire a spot. Wealth makes kleptomaniacs; poverty makes thieves. Judicious silence is an eloquent Indica tion of wisdom. The strong man is weak If be lacks confidence in himself. Strange to say. the ice crop Is never harvested with iclcle3. Straitened circumstances cause many a man to become crooked. The sky is most cheerful when bluest: but it is different with men. An enemy is a man who injures you and then refuses to forgive you. The poker player ia always ready to uphold the red, white and blue. It isn't necessary to cultivate fools. They grow of their own accord. The rules and regulations of the print ers union are "rough on rata" If there is anything in a man his op portunity will come sooner or later. When a man gets lonesome he be gins to realize what poor company he is. The man who Is good at making ex cuses is seldom good at anything else. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Couldn't the higher education of girls be applied to the hired girls? No architect has risen in his profes sion from planning castles in the air. The committing magistrate always has lots of time at his disposal. The man with an elastic conscience Is always willing to stretch a point. People who buy goods on the install ment plan evidently believe in trusts. The great trouble with favors ia that they are loaned and not given. Just at present the fellow with influ enza doesn't object to losing his gTip. The people who epeak of "vulgar trade" are often the ones who don't pay their bills. "The average reformer," says the Manayunk Philosopher, "has to be well heeled before he can stamp out an evil." Hoax "For a successful physician he seems most visionary." Joax "What's his specialty?" Hoax "The eyes." A woman can usually'hit the nail on the head, even If it's only her finger nail. The weather may change very sud denly, but it always gets colder or warmer by degrees. No, Maude dear, there is no similarity between a battle ship and a tuff of war. "When it comes to buying diamonds, few women think they have enough pin money. You can't convince a girl who has waited until she ia 35 that it's unlucky to get married on Friday. Blobbs "Has she given you any en couragement?" Slobbs "Well, she ask ed me if I liked sugar and cream in my coffee." No, Maude, dear, we are not quite convinced that the reports of Roosevelt's prowess as a. hunter are based upon bear facts. Tommy's Pop "A genius, my son, is a man who convinces other people that they ought to ahare his own opinion of himself." Blobbs "If you would keep well eat Dlentv of onions." Slobbs "I guess that's right. No self-respecting microbe wouid care to stack up against an onion eater." Scribbler1 "Why do you send so many stamps with your poems?" Scrawler "Some editor may be hard up some day and swipe the stamps. Then he would have to keep the poem." Mrs. Muggins "Mrs. Bjones says she believes in making other people happy." Mrs. Bug-gins "May be that's why she lets everybody cheat her bo unmerci fully." This is the month when all throughout the land Our thoughts revert to little George's hatchet; But Mrs. Nation, on the other hand. This year asserts that she has one to match it. The prodigal son had returned to the family fireside. "Where is the fatted calf?" he complained, querulously. The old man was equal to the occasiqn.

HAYEMEYEB SAILS. Sugar Stagnate Starts on Tour of Europe and Asia. New York, FeK 7. Henry O. Have meyer, president of the American Sugar Refining company, sailed for Europe on the steamer Auguste Victoria. This vessel makes a tour of the Mediterran ean,, stopping at ports in Palestine and Egypt and lasting sixty-seven days. "I am going to stay away as long as possible," Mr. Havemeyer said before sailing. "I do not intend to make the regular excursion with the ship. I want to see Turkey and the east and will leave the vessel at Genoa. I expect to see the sultan. If my program is hot in terfered with I will do Asia Minor. I am very much impressed with the cus toms and habits of the Turks and want to learn all I can about them. No, I am not to see the sultan to recommend that he patronize us more extensively. He is buying a warship from us, I under stand, and there is no reason to com plain. "The condition of business is most gratifying. I do not refer to sugar, but to all the industries. There are com paratively few in this country who are not making money." Mr. Havemeyer discussed at some length the possible competition of for eign beet sugar manufacturers, who are unloading their surplus products upon this country. "I know no more about the intention of German manufacturers of beet sugar to enter our market than I see in .the newspapers." said he, "Naturally I am interested in this news, as I should be if it referred to any other product entering into direct competition with goods of American manufacture. The question is one involving the welfare of the Ameri can people, but not because beet sugir is unwholesome. That used to be the popular idea before science solved the problem by purifying the crystals. "Now the best beet sugar is just as pure as cane sugar. It costs more than cane sugar to manufacture. That is the only advantage possessed by the American manufacturers. "The newspapers say that the German manufacturers of beet sugar mean to get their surplus product into this country in the same way that the Russian manufac turers do now. In Russia no direct bounty is paid on sugar exported from the country and on this account the United States government now admits Russian crystals duty free. But the sugaft- manu factured for domestic consumption In Russia is subject to a tax, which Is re mitted in case of exports, so that the plea that the Russian crystals imported here are not favored by a bounty is purely technical." DOfl'T NEED IT, Bryan Gives His Views on the Silver Kedemption.Bill. Washington, Feb.7. Chairman South ard of the house committee on coinage has received from William J. Bryan, the latter's view of the pending bill before the house making the standard silver dollar redeemable ip gold. After thank ing the committee for the courtesy of inviting his views, Mx. Bryan says in part: "The bill has a double purpose: First to convert standard silver dollars into subsidiary coin and, second to make sil ver dollars redeemable in gold on de mand. In discussing the subject, how ever, it will be more logical to consider the latter proposition first, as redemp tion is only a step toward retirement. "There is no necessity for redemption. The legal tender law will maintain the parity between gold coin and silver dol lars so -Jong as both can be used to an unlimited extent in the payment of pub lic revenues and private debts. I should perhaps say that the parity will be sub stantiaily maintained, for local and temporary conditions may under any law put a small premium upon any kind of money." Mr. Bryan cites the premium on silver in New York in 1S9H, caused by the local demand for small change. He also cites Senator Sherman in support of his statement. Proceeding Mr. Bryan says: "As soon as the silver dollar is made redeemable in gold, another endless chain will be created and the argu ments used against the greenbacks and treasury notes will then be turned against silver. Before the attempt to burden the gold reserve, with this new obligation is consummated, it may be worth while to consider the opinion ex pressed by Secretary Carlisle in 18S.V Spaniards are Indignant. Madrid, Feb. 7. The breakdown of the Spanish armored cruiser Emperado Car los V. at the outset of her voyage to Cowes to represent Spain at the naval demonstration in honor of the late Queen Victoria has aroused much indig nation and bitter attacks are being made on the administration by the Lib eral press, which points out that the administration has learned nothing from the Spanish-American war and that the minister of marine is incapable of sending a single vessel to Cowes, al though the department receives annual ly 27,000,000 pesetas.

Five Million Four Per Cent Will be Issued. New York, Feb. 7. The Herald says: No action has been taken on the ques tion of a dividend on tile common stock by the board of directors of the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe, and none is expected, as It is pretty generally un derstood that this matter will be de ferred until the June meeting of the company. After the meeting it was stated that only routine business has been trans acted, but it was ascertained from a thoroughly reliable source that among these routine matters was the authori zation by the directors of a further is sue of $5,000,000 general mortgage 4 per cent, bonds. For what' purpose these bonds are to be issued could not be ascertained, as no direct statement con cerning them' was obtainable. Under the terms of the general mortgage of the Atchison road general mortgage bonds can only be issued at the rate of S3,O00,00O in any one year for new con struction and betterments and addi tional rolling stock, of which not more than $750,000 shall be for extensions, and under- the original reorganization plan $30,000,000 of bonds i were reserved for these purposes.

Cincinnati, Feb, 7 The third day of the hearing on the application for a permanent injunction against the Jef-fries-Ruhlin contest on February 15, at tracted the usual crowd, most of whom were unable to gain admittance to the court room. Delaney and Cook, for Jef fries and Madden for Ruhlin, were the most prominent ones present from the training quarters. After submitting copies of various contracts and Po tions and other documents including the Marquis of Queensberry rules, the plain tiffs rested and the defendants called W N. Hobart as their first witness. Hobart is a distiller and interested in many industries in the city, formerly president of the chamber of commerce and president of the Cincinnati Musical Festival association for many years. He was asked about his public spirited work as well as his business, in order to show the high standing of the promoters of the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest as Hobart is a director in the Saengerfest Athletic association, as well as In the old Saen gerfest Jubilee association. He testified to trie worn. i mra which was building a hall for $35,000 in 1899 and after the Saengerfest board which was building a hall for $35,000 it collapsed the board spent $100,000 on the building and thus incurred a debt of about $65,000 in excess of what had been raised for the Saengerfest hail. The Saengerfest directors are still carrying this debt and have devised various plans for its liquidation including the pro posed contest February 15 between Jef fries and Ruhlin and Martin and Childs. Hobart testified to all the proceedings and contracts and insisted that the pro moters never did nor do not now con template anything contrary to law. Judge Harmon objected to the testi mony of Hobart, holding that indebted ness, even for public-spirited enterprises, was not justification for a benefit per formance in violation of law. The ob jection was overruled, and Hobart testi fied to all the Saengerfest board had done previous to the contract with Man ager W A. Brady for the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest, and all that the Saenger fest Athletic association had since done, through Attorney Witte. who went to New York to negotiate wifh the man agers of the pugilists. Hobart .testified that the Saengerfest Athletic association intended to be a per manent organization on the basis of this resolution and give sparring contests, but not prize fights. Judge Harmon read interviews from the local papers with Jeffries and Ruh lin about knocking each other out. and also with Madden, Delaney and others, as to how their favorites would win. He also read accounts of previous fights in which Jeffries and Ruhlin had partici pated with Fitzsimmona, Corbett, Shar key Maher and others, and asked Ho bart if he thought the record of his stars wa not such as to indicate a prize fight instead of a boxing contest. Hobart said he relied on the statement of Mavor Fleishmann that nothing bru tal or "unlawful would be allowed. Judge Harmon brought out the fact that Ho bart was a member of the church and superintendent of a Sunday school, and asked why he did not listen to the ap peals of the ministerial associations.

There was a dis cussion in the senate today concerning the amount of the appropriations of this session and in reply to a question by Mr. Morgan. Mr. Allison, chairman of the senate committee on appropriations. sm i he thought they would amount to $."1' 0H0.00O with obligations for $'10.0oi.o' more for future session. Mr.Hale thou-'t.t the amount, would be nearly $sio,0io,o'0 for the session. He said the tMa of ex penditures was steadily rising. A few years ago the country was shocked, at a "biilion dollar congress. Soon we wou'd have a billion dollar session. Mr. Teller said the last session appropriated $Ti0, 000.000 and a member of the appropria tion committee of the hmig- had eat'I there should have been $100,JO0,0'J0 more, as some future session would be called upoi to make up that amount.

This will dl come to an end if the b'l! introduced bv Senator Ward and ree ,iim'ended favorably in the senate yes terday, is passed, and it looks as though there could be little doubt concerning The bill is aimed at fakirs who have been operating so successfully and will i-raotioall-v drive them from the state.

If the fakir desires to work the farmers in a coumv for just one week it will cost iim $7,00 lust the same, and it will take a miehty'active fakir to clear enough to juiv such a license in that time. The bill requires that the fakir must ct a license in each county in which he sells goods and will greatly increase the i otic of the county or ta ill greatly re duce the number of fakirs. The fact that the country is prosperous and that the farmers have plenty of money will au an extra large number of fakirs in!esB something; is done to head them eff and ,k-ep them out of the state.

Theodore Carranza, a prominent and wealthy Spanish mer chant and hemp and cocoanut buyer, has been arrested charged with furnish ing supplies to aid the insurgents. Car ranza is also a partner of D. M. Car man, an American contractor and owner of boats, who had considerable trans portation contracts -with the govern ment. The provost marshal and secret service officers have been watching a number of merchants and transportation men for some time past. The police offr ciais have had a Ions' interview with Carranza and the arrest of several more is expected to result. At the close of the interview between the police and Carranza, the latter was placed in confinement in the Anda street police station. Carman was ar rested and after considerable question ing was sent to the same station. The men are charged with the conducting of the business of buying copra (the dried kernel of the cocoanut broken up for export) from insurgent presidentes at Pagsanjan, in the eastern extremity of Luguna le Bay, and also with pay ing assessments for the insurgent cause. The evidence adduced was to the ef fect that the prisoners have supplies of the striped clothing used for insur gent uniforms. Both the insurgent pres identes who claim to have dealt with Carranza and Carman are now impris oned in Manila, One of them, Fabella, feara hanging because he was captured as an insurgent after having sworn al legiance to the United States. He made strong statements tending to implicate Carman and Carranza and confirming the statement of Reis, who became presid'ente of Pagsanjan after Fabella's arrest. The police have letters and verbal statements from Carman, who sought Fabella's release, asserting that he was a patriotic American subject. According to papers found both the presidentes are culpable insurgents. Carranza and Carman admit trading with insurgents, but deny contributing to their cause or furnishing them with supplies. Carman is one of the best known Americans in Manila. He has a monop oly of carrying goods going through the custom house ashore from the ships and has made a great deal of money. He possessed the confidence of General Otis. Other Manila merchants are being in vestigated. WANTS CRIMINALS FLOGGED Bill For Such Punishment Introduced in Connecticut Legislature.

The injured were taken to Meadvilie hospital by a special train. The train was running very fast at the time and was derailed by the break ing of a strap at the rail joint. Where the accident occurred is a ravine and a very steep embankment. About forty feet below is the little Shenango river and from the tracks to the top of the hill is about sixty feet. The train was made up of mail and express cars, com bination baggage and smoker, and lour Pullmans. The engineer had whistled for the Greenville station, when the engine left the rails followed by the mail car, combination car and one or the coaches. After running about the length of the train the engine struck the hill and almost buried itself. The piail car telescoped the combination car and that was where all tne tatauties occurred. The engineer and fireman escaped by jumping. Many rescuers were quickly at work and surgeons were on hand as soon as the first body was taken from the wreck. Washington, Feb. 7. Adjutant Gen eral Corbin has received a telegram say ing that nine soldiers of the Tenth in fantry were in a wreck on the Erie rail road at Greenville, Pa., this morning.

Clark, a contract surgeon, who was Vith the soldiers. He gave no names or Dther particulars. The depart ment has arranged to take care of the survivors and to turn the remains of the dead over to their families. These soldiers were new recruits and were on their way to San Francisco to await the arrival of the Tenth infantry, which is under orders' for duty In the Philippines. New York, Feb. 7.

I 1 SI 1 M m C r- B I S" m Continued From First Page.J added that it is a melancholy- sight to see the fundamental law of a state treated with contempt. Women unsexing themselves by means of mob law, is a logical sequence. One of Mrs. Nation's admirers in Kan sas City saw the report of the speech and sent the paper containing it to her along with an unsigned letter aa fol lows: Mrs. Carrie Nation, Topeka, Kan. My Dear Madam: I send you a mark ed copy of the second page of the Kan sas City Star. If this man had been a prohibitionist in theory and practice I verily believe his wife (of his early manhood) would have been alive today and an ornament to her sex instead "of ending her young life and filling a suicide's grave. I knew her well. Refined, educated, beautiful in form and feature, a horrte lover and a model wife. One night while he was at one of those drunken reunions called a banquet she shot her self. It comes with ill grace from such a man to talk of women unsexing them selves when instead of violence against their own bodies they use it against their" destroyer. PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS. Suggestions to Chief Stahl and Other Officers of the Law. To the Editor of the State Journal: You have done so much for fairness and decency during the "war of the Na tion" now being waged against the joints of this city that I feel 1 am almost unreasonable in asking space for a word in your paper, but the spectacle pre sented in the conduct of our officers is so ludicrous, and yet "so exasperating, that it forces' to the mind a score or so of all kinds of questions and comical suggestions, just a few of which I would like to get into your paper. First If Mrs. Nation is violating law in the work she is doing, can she not be stopped without interfering with the law-abiding jointists? Second What right had Judge Hazen, Sheriff Cook, County Attorney Nichols and Chief Stahl to demand, or ask, our business men, jointists, to lose the prof its of their business for a few days un til Mrs. Nation leaves the city or our authorities contrive some means by which she can be prevented from doing the work of the officers, whose duty un der oath it has been for years? Third What is the reason that omni present injunction which is wont to stalk forth on every appearance of an unjust measure, especially when good property is in. danger and that is the reason it will not stick on joints has not been brought to bear on this pestilent old grandmother? Surely Judge Hazen can make an injunction stick on Mrs. Na tion's wanton destruction of good whisky and beer conduct. Possibly the injunction is so afraid to come near a joint that ft will not apear there even to defend that officially popular breeder of politics. But seriously, Mr. Editor, can you tell us, or can you get some properly oath bound officer Of the city, who will, like a good Christian, tell us why it would not be more nearly in conformity to good existing law, and to the eternal go'spel, to take those jointists to the city prison for safety while the authorities com plete arrangements for the care of that godly grandmother, Mrs. Nation? Our chief of police and our county attorney, our sheriff and judges know that when they have enforced the law as they swore to do Mrs. Nation's storm will be an impossible quantity. "Close up for a few days at least." It is like asking a den of rattlesnakes to cease to bite for a few minutes while I kill a dove that is liable to oppose your methods of carrying on business. Of what value is an -oath, any way? Who expects to find a man true to his oath, if his safety is threatened, whether political or physical? There are a few noble exceptions yet to be found. JAMES EASLER. MRS. NATION'S MAIL. It Continues to Grow Heavier Every Day. t Mrs. Nation's mail is so large that neither she nor her private secretary, Mrs. Rose Crist, can handle it. Mrs. Nation has little time to write letters or to dictate answers and her secretary has been unable to keep up with the work so Mrs. Nation hands the letters out to those who are acquainted with her work with the request that they answer them. This morning she distributed, a large bundle of letters among the High school boys with the request that they answer them. DEMAND THEIR HATCHETS. Crusaders "Want Weapons Captured by tne Police. Mrs. Nation's band of crusaders stop ped at the police station this morning to Remand their hatchets captured by the"police. The police have five of the weapons and refused to return them. In this morning's mail Mrs. Nation received an other hatchet from the Commercial club of Numa, Oklahoma. SNOW IS GOING.

To Tax Telegraph. Companies. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 7. In the senate today Mr. Morton introduced a bill taxing telegraph companies 2 per cent, of their gross earnings. He said the bill was prompted by the decision of Judge Henry, of Kansas City, in a suit against the Western Union, holding that the present laws did not allow the taxation of franchise property. Project Discussed" Before Ways and Means Committees. Hearing at the joint meeting of the ways and means committees of the senate and house was accorded the legis lative committee of the Kansas Semi centennial Exposition measure last night, at. which the directors and spon sors from all parts of the state of this great state enterprise were present. Mr. John E. Frost, president of the exposition association, opened the sub ject by giving his views of the benefits to be derived by the state from the pro posed exposition, giving his reasons from his experience of nearly thirty years in connection with immigration interests and the work done in their interest during his long service as an officer of the Santa Fe. He cited the cotton exposition at Atlanta, Ga., in 1SS1, as a case in point showing the great value of bringing people to a home exposition in order to impress them with the immense advantages which the state presents for settlers and investors. The Atlanta, exposition was the opening wedge in the immense de velopment of the last eignteen years of the resources of the south, especially in the lines of timber and iron production and in the manufacture of cotton goods, and gave several 'Other illustrations in the same line. He also called attention to the fact that the appropriation of $300,000 asked for would require a levy of less than one mill upon the present valuation of pro perty in the state, and that of this th? railroad, telegraph and telephone pro perty would bear nearly one-fifth. Also that this appropriation figures out only about 20 cents per capita upon the popu lation of the state, and that after de ducting the portion paid by the large corporations and by non-resident pro perty owners, it would figure out oniy about one-half of this capita upon the individual property owners. He then introduced Mr. Sam Kimble of Manhattan, chairman of the legisla tive committee. Mr. Kimble explained fully the bill as prepared and the general purposes of the exposition. He stated that at the Omaha exposition the management made a success with a fund of $461,000 and that under the plan proposed in Kansas, without national aid, the amount proposed would equal that. He explained that the original bill had been amended and provided that the in come from the exposition be applied first to the payment of the creditors, second repayment of the capital stock with 6 per cent interest and third, that the surplus be divided between Kansas and Shawnee courfty in proportion to the amount contributed. He explained that the amendment removed any possible scheme for using the exposition- as a money making venture. President Frost introduced Mayor Mc Clure of Iola, w-ho spoke for that city and Allen county and said that the peo ple he represented are anxious for the exposition to be held and approve the bili. I. A. Bigger of Hutchinson, spoke for that city and Reno county and sta ted that the people there favor the ex position. Edward Wilder of Topeka and J. W. Houghey of Wellington, also spoke. Senator Ward and E. G. Pipp and Judge S. J. Osborn endorsed what had been said. BOOST FOR M'CALLUjI. Mr. Bowersock Will Recommend His Promotion as Surgeon Major. Washington, D. C, Feb. 7. Represen tative Bowersock will call on the presi dent tomorrow morning, and urge the appointment of F. M. McCallum of Kan sas City, Kan., for major and surgeon of medical corps in the reguiar army.

Edwin Jones, member of the Chicago stock exchange, announced today his inability to carry on his trades and ordered them closed. B. F.

May wheat opened Jc higher at 75l4c to 75c and advanced sharply to 75Ui3c under buy ing led by shorts, but which was partie -pated in by recognized bulls. This bull ishness waa of short duration and when commission house buying orders had been filled the trade became dull and under local conditions May eased off to 7-l7j,ii ic. Local receipts were SS cars, none of con tract grade, while Minneapolis and Du luth reported a total of 299 cars, against 362 cars last week and 390 cars a year ago. The Price Current declared the snow covering was general in the wheat belt and that crop conditions were better than they were a year ago. Commission house buying and covering by shorts later caused a rally to 750 and the close was firm. Vic higher at 5Hc CORN Corn opened strong under buy ing pressure from outside points. Offer ings were light and in consequence May opened H'fi'ic higher at 3S"c to Sic. The easier tone in wheat, however, was soon reflected, in freer offerings and May de clined to'SsHc.

Veteran Legislator Makes CniM- ish Attack oa JlcKeever. Over an incident of last night Repre sentative John Seaton, of Atchison, felt himself aggrieved, and opened up the house session this morning with a dis cussion of personal privilege. In the course of his talk Captain Seaton de clared bis opposition, to tne semi-centennial exposition, through suggesting that lack of favor as a reason of discourtesy from the chair, which was occupied at thf time by Kd McKeever. The incident was the one wherein Cap tain Seaton was granted unanimous consent to introduce a bill, and tbe chair acceded grumblingly. Captain Seaton said: '"The speaker vouchsafed the intelligeb.ee to me that confusion would result. 'No more fitting time,' I retorted, "to have confusion than at the close of the session. "Every gentleman has a right to the kindest consideration under the rules, and not be subjected to criticism by the speaker. Then what happened? 'Any gentleman got any more bills? Any gentleman got any petitions? Everything goes! So said the speaker. "Now for the good of the house I will stand in defense of any one who has had his neck tramped upon. This dis graceful proceeding has never been seen before on the floor of this house in the twenty-two years I have been here. It is the first time I ever heard a speaker stop to argue a point that is not out of order. "I sent my vote without a string to it when this young man wrote me of his ambition to be in the speaker's chair. He has an idea, perhaps, to harass me for opposition to the exposition, as I am opposed. I will never vote $3OCKOO0 for a fair or midway plaisance, I have stood on the floor of this house when the gentleman was in swaddling clothes and fought for things for Topeka the state house, insane asylum, reformatory, and other affairs." Then facing to the desk he said: "Mr. Speaker. I have the kindest feeling to you; I am not embittered, but hereafter I hope you will conduct affairs properly and jiot make it necessary for any gen tleman to rise to a point of personal privilege." McKeever replied that the chair in tended no discourtesy, and was re warded with an audible smile when he said: "At 12 o'clock last night our per sonal relations were exceedingly pleas ant. The- gentleman is himself one of the greatest sticklers for staying close to the order of. business. I have no feel ing in the matter and no ax to grind. In behalf of the city I would say 1t asks nothing else than that the legislature will do its- duty." MODIFY LIBEL IAWS. Senator Fitzpatrick's Bill Would Pre vent Hold Up of Newspapers. The editors of Kansas who fear the law concerr.itig- libel will be pleaied with the bill introduced this morning by Sen ator Fitzpatrick, which changes ths present libel laws as relating to news papers. The bill provides that when a news paper prints a libelous story concern ing any person the editor cannot be sued for more than actual damages, pro viding he prints a retraction within three days after being notified that the article is libelous. In a weekly news paper the retraction must be made in the next issue of the paper providing the notice is served more than three days before the date of the issue of the paper. Luring campaigns daily papers pub lishing libelous articles later than ten days before election can be sued the same as under the present law, and in the case of weekly papers libelous ar ticle will be subject to the same pen alties as now if published later than two weeks before elections. This provision is calculated to protect politicians from late attacks by papers without giving the person attacked a chance to repudi ate the charges in the article. The bill provides that if a man can show that his business has been dam aged bv a newspaper article to the ex tent of $1HX he can collect that amount, but he can not collect more than J100 exemplary damages. A FEARFUL CRIME. Senator Smith's Bill Makea Stealing Rides a Misdemeanor. ,The railroad men of Kansas have Tor some time attempted to get legislation which will stop the tramps from riding on the trains, or at least, give the rail road men some power so they can han dle the tramps. This morning Senator Smith introduc ed a bill which provides that any man stealing a ride on a train is guilty of a misdemeanor and is subject to arrest by the trainmen. It makes the trainmen officers and gives them power to arrest tramps and turn them over to city offi cers wherever they may find it con. venient. For years the tramp evil has been prevalent in Kansas. The state has-been overrun with tramps and occasionally a railroad man is killed, who. in the per formance of his duty, attempts to make the tramp leave the train. If the bill is passed it will relieve the police courts of a great deal of work and trampsgoi ig from the west to the east will be careful to take the Nebraska route. EXEMPTION- WILL STAND. Committee Refuses to Recommend Nichols Amendment. The house Judiciary committee report ed unfavorably upon Nichols" proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the $200 tax exemption. Mason's bill making t unlawful for the state printer to sellHjarter or give away printed matter, is recommended to pass. Babb's county telephone measure Is also recommended. SMITH'S ANTI MOB BILL. Would Make It a Felony to Partici pate in a Mob. The lynching at Leavenworth haa had its effect upon the legislature, not only in passing resolutions denouncing the lynching, but it haa caused an actual step to be taken towards stopping mob law. This morning Senator Smith In troduced a bill making it a felony to participate in a, mob or to purchase rope or firearms for the use of a mob. The bill also provides that an officer who allows a prisoner to be taken from his custody by a mob shall be removed from office unless he can show to the court that he was unable to keep the prisoner without actually endangering his life. CATTLE INSPECTION BILL. It Would Enlarge Scope of Live Stock Commisaipn. The live stock sanitary commission will have more power if the bill intro duced by Senator Smith this morning is passed. The -bill follows the recom mendations made in the report of the commission and provides that whenever the commission shall determine that certain cattle have the Texas fever and are liable to import the fever or any other contagious disease, they shall is sue orders to the sheriff of the county in which such cattle or other animals are found, and shall command him to keep such animals under his control and custodv subject to any quarantine reg ulations they may prescribe until the first day of December on which day they shall deliver the cattle to the own ers or the owners' agents. In case the owner docs not accept the cattle at that time they shail be sold at public sale and shall keep enough money from the proceeds to pay lor their keep. The bill also provides that any one driving or shipping cattle into the state which are liable to transmit the Texas fever shall be held for all damages that may be sustained by communication of the disease. It provides that all cattle coming into the state shall be inspected and provides for the aopointment of seven inspectors. The Inspection fee Is placed at 2 cents per head on all cattle inspected. The entire prohibition of cattle from districts known tm be infected with ticks or-fever is left with the discretion of the live stock commission. The stations along the south line of Kansas where inspectors are to be stationed will oe located bv the commission. The penal ties for violations are the same as in the old law. SENATE PASSES BILLS. Local Measures, in the Main, Fill Time of the Upper House. The senate got down to work this morning and passed a number of bills. Those passed were: At act providing for the removal of the disabilities of persons sentenced to confinement or confined In the Kansas- State Industrial Reformatory and re taining their civil rights.

Will Not Revise Calendar. An attempt to put through a motion, offered by Millar of Barker, to revise the calendar, failed in the house this morning. The members saw in the mo tion a scheme to kill off legislation and rallied to give it a knockout blow. Such a committee is appointed by the legis lature usually, but seldom until the end of the session is nearer, about ten days off. This is only the fifth week of the session, little over half way mark. Euck lin, whose anti-grain trust bill is at the head of the calendar under general or ders, raised the objection. Pan American Petitions In House. Another raft of petitions asking the legislature to pass the appropriation for the Kansas exhibit at the Tan-American exposition was put in this morning. All but two of them were on a printed form. There are objections being made to the appropriation and the commissioners ap pointed by the, governor are letting no stone unturned to save it from defeat. They are back of the petitions which they are having sent in from all parts of the atate. Bills in the Senate. The following bills were introduced in the senate this morning: By Ward To legalize an election held in Concordia on the 10th day of last August for school purposes, and au thorizing the board of education to issue bonds.

Pan American Petitions. The Pan-American exposition friends again came to the front this morning in the senate with three petitions asking that the appropriation be made for the exposition. ON A BURNING SHIP. Sixteen Dayst he Crew of thePyreneea Lived Over a Bake Oven. San Francisco. Feb. 7. Sixteen days on a burning ship in midocean, with the hot decks warped and threatening momentar ily to blow up. is the story brought to port by Captain Robert Bryce and th crew of twenty-nine men of the big four masted steel ship Pyrenees. They were picked up at Tahiti by the steamer Aus tralia and reached here on their way to England. The Pvrenees sailed from Tacoma on October H for Leith with a cargo of 3.750 tons of wheat and barley. On November 6, when the vessel was on the equator, fire was discovered in the hold. The hatches were battened down and the ship headed for Pitcairn island. Here it was too rough to land. Governor McCoy of Pit cairn boarded the Pyrenees, which then made for Magna Rova, 300 miles away. Here the ship was beached and the crew landed. The Are then broke out and the vessel was destroyed. The men were car ried on a trading schooner to Tahiti, where they took the Australia for this port. Death by Poisoning Suspected. New York. Feb. 7. Miss Kate Greiner, sister of Frederick Greiner of Buffalo, one of the leading Republicans of Erie county, has just died in St. Luke's hospital.

Miss Greiner was for sev eral vears superintendent of nurses in a hospital In Minneapolis. Saves Half Your Cigar Bill. You Pay too for Cigars Not so Cood.

Kinkle was elected at a special election in Reno county yesterdav to till the place made vacant by the death of Representative Z. L Wise. The senate ways and means committee recommends a liberal appropriation for the State Normal school in a bill which goes on the calendar as a committee bill. Pan-American exposition petitions are favorites in the house since the state sail plant was sidetracked. A score of them were sent in last night just before ad journment. The ways and means committee bill ap propriating $s2,0ou to pay the Quantrill raid certificates, with interest, was passed by the house without debate. The vote was 6U to 4. Steve Cave made such a fine speech be fore the senate ways and means commit tee that they almost raised the appropri ation of $5,000 which his prairie dog Mil calls for to SS.00O. The senate Is not anxious to consider the bill which will knock Parsons out of the asylum fight and will probably let it die on their hands. If they are forced to act the bill will be killed. Senators Morrow and White and Repre sentatives Hogue. Stavely and McKee are appointed a subcommittee to draw up a biil embodying the needed amendments to the assessment and taxation laws. The house resolution relating to rail way employes In Mexico was concurred in by the senate yesterday. The railroad men claim thev are arrested and put in jail in that country without trial.

They were about equally divided on the measure, but it was finally defeated. The house resolution to appoint a Joint committee of two senators and three rep resentatives to confer with a like com mittee from the Missouri legislature in regard to uniform legislation was adopted by the senate. Back row members in the southeast corner of Representative hail had to move out on account of flood. The State house roof sprung a leak and the legislators could not stand snow water dripping down on their backs. The senate will hold- Its first night ses sion this evening. Another night session will be held Fridav. It will take rapid and hard work to handle all the bills which have been introduced and it cannot be done without night sessions. Charles Buschow of Colby, who will be declared elected senator from the Thirty ninth senatorial district next Monday, is here getting used to the run of things. Senator Hopkins, who now occupies the seat, is absent from the senate on ac count of the sickness of his wife. Representative B. F. Tatum of Edwards thinks he and his were ill-treated in Kan sas City. They could not understand a word of Bernhardt's play, which wasn't so bad, for there were very few who could, but Mrs. Tatum had her purse stolen by a hotel sneakthief besides. The senate decided to accept the site of the old Pawnee Indian village in Repub lic county, which has been offered to the state. The State Historical societv is anxious to get the place and keep "it in order. It is where the first American flag was raised in the state. Senator Ward made a speech favoring the bill.

Major Grebe was discharged from the army for fighting a duel with another officer. He was an excellent soldier, but, being a for eigner, did not realize the seriousness of fighting a duel. He was spoken of highlv by Lincoln, Grant, Sherman and other of ficers he served under. The house has got in the habit of intro ducing a lot of bills just before adjourn ment. Speaker Pro Tera Kd McKeever made a sturdy stand against allowing their introduction so far out of the regu lar order. He objected yesterday, but had. to give in to Captain Seaton, who pleaded that he had been on important commit tee work all day. A deluge followed, every member flinging in all his available documents. The fellows who grumble the worst are the clerks. Thev have their calendar all ready for the printer when this deluge comes out and they have to prepar it all over again. CAN'T GO AWAY. Standard Oil Steamer Anchored Out t aide Sandy Hook.

An Interesting1 paper was read before the Pan-American Congress by Dr. Reed on the propagation of yeiiow fever by mos ouitoei .The specific clause of yellow fever sti'.l continued unknown, he said, but the work of the yellow fever com mission at Quemados had' conclusively proved, in his opinion, that the mos quito served as an intermediary in con .veyinjz: the disease, the spread of -which s due to this medium aione. The commission had concluded, therefore, Tr. Reed added, that tiie disinfection of clothing- was not only unnecessary but useless ow ins to the Impossibility of contagion from such a source. "The ex periments of the commission showed," saii Dr. Keed. "that the mosquito is un-Rb'.e- to propaeraate the disease until 12 iays after being infected, and is only Infected by bitinpr a yellow fever patient rturtng- the first two days of the patient's illness.

Naturally the imperfect mastication of fool caused indigestion and a poorly nourished system. "When I first saw the lad," says Rev. W. Osborne Etrana fcaB of 3007 N. Winchester Ave.,Ravens Tveod, he was wan and pale, greatly emaciated, with impoverished blood, and lacking all the essentials which go to make up robust strength and vigor. "I.Iany remedies and different foods h i i been tried, but none seemed to meet his need. I knew something of the value of Otupe-Nuts food, ami recommended its use. The first trial convinced the parents of one thing, at least they hail iii:cd a food the boy really liked. 'He empties his dish and cails for more, the mother said. '"Astonishing results followed Its use, almost immediately; flesh was rapidly ptit on, the face from being pallid and t hin, began to fill out, the cheeks were plump and rosy. The body, properly nourished, beeran its work of upbuilding the system. The most wonderful thing tif all. the Orape-Nuts food seemed to contain the necessary elements for the formation of bone tissue, and presently the tardy teeth bepan to prick through. "Today the boy is strong and hearty, la perfect health, with a full set of teeth rapidly maturing.

On the motion of Dr. Wilde, a move ment has been started to induce all the American governments to send delegates to a congress called particularly for the purpose of studying yellow fever, the delegates to remain, in session several months.

Torrence, of 819 East 6th street, car penter, says: "I had kidney complaint for three or four years, and had to give up the grocery business on account of my health. My kidneys troubled me severely in the winter of 1898, caus ing severe pain in my back, very severe nights, and the too frequent action of the kidneys both ered me day and night. I procured Doan's Kid ney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug store. It gave such good satisfaction that I continued the treat ment. After completing the second box, I felt they had made a permanent cure. There has not been the slightest return of the trouble since." CURED A BALD MAN. Christian Scientist Says She' Mad a Hair Grow by Faith Prayer. New York, Feb. 7. Five hundred Christian Scientists made a second ap peal to the assembly committee on pub lic health to report the Bell bill ad versely. In the course of the hearing- a state ment was made by Dr. Van Fleat, of New York. He said: "No one believes nowadays that the Savior performed the miracles that the Scriptures ascribe to Him. They are only meant as Illustra tions of what faith might accomplish if strong enough. "The Bible account of His so-called cures is merely a seriea of parables. Christian Scientists who say they can cure smallpox by praying, and that this Is what Christ did, are sacrilegious." Mrs. Laura Lathrop, of New Y'ork, who is one of the best known Christian Scientists, said: "There are miracles happening every day if you will only look about? you. I know of a. ease where a man was en tirely bald. By faith and prayer his hair was restored. Nothing ia impos sible to Christian Scientists." TO APE LORD ROBERTS.

That Is the Reported Condition of the Iron Market. New York, Feb. 7. The. Iron Age says: The iron and steel market, as a whole, is quiet, as it is apt to be at this season of HOW DO YOU DO? When you find yourself say ing: "pretty well, thank you, but not very strong;" you are likely to beras you say, "pretty well;" but getting no good of your food. If you have money and lei sure, take a vacation the doc tor calls it "a change." Which is good. Almost as good is Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil, in stead of vacation. With it is better yet! the doctor is right. We'll Kad you a little to try, if you like. .SCOTT BOWS 409 tucsx, Htm York. by people here at 6 4 V Diabetes, all Urinary and Bladder troubles, re tention of the Urine, infrequent or too frequent Urinary discharges, all dangerous bladder and kidney conditions, which, if neglected, lead to that dread destroyer, Bright's Disease. 1 I--IjfI Xi o Mr. V. C. Hay, No. 317 Locust St., says: "In August, 1898, I was taken sick and was unable to work all winter. My sickness left me with kidney trouble, and the pain in my back was something awful. I could not sit or recline without the ach ing becoming unbearable. The secretions from the kidneys were discolored and offensive. I was in bed when I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills, and sent to Rowley Snow's drug store, corner Sixth St. and Kansas avenue, and got a box. The third dose gave me relief, and in a short time I was able to get up. The treatment rid me of the pain, the secretions were corrected, and my general health greatly improved." fmiiSifaisira'is" the year. Aside from one sale of 6,000 tons of southern foundry Iron I to a pipe interest, repoi ted from Chicago, little ap pears to have been done, and buyers gen erally are purchasing from hand to mouth. In Bessemer pig a steel plant in western Pennsylvania has purchased 10. 000 tons and the market is steady. In east ern Pennsylvania there were sales of basic pig to the extent of 8,000 to 10,000 tons. The rail trade has been rather quiet. Spot steel continues to command a small premium, the heavy producers being be hind on deliveries. A consolidation or community of interests among the large companies would be particularly powerful in this branch and would probably con tinue in an emphasized manner the policy of the billet pool, with the tendency to force outsiders to. erect their own open hearth steel plants. Good reports come from various trade centers relative to the volume of business in structural material. Pittsburg reports the placing of the Frick building and some other contracts, while Chicago notes some good business. For a time there was some irregularity In the price of steel bars in certain west ern Districts, but the market is steadier there now. The tonnage seems to be good. In eastern Pennsylvania and the tidewater markets business is dull and an easier feeling prevails. Sheets are very active in all sections of the. country. DAS JsO LEGAL RIGHT. Christian Advocate Says Mrs. Nation Cannot Smash Chicago Saloons. Chicago, Feb. 7. In its current issue the Northwestern Christian Advocate, the leading publication of the Methodist Episcopal church west of New York, comments on Mrs. Carrie Nation's cru sade of force against saloons in Kansas. It says in part: "We do not know how wise the lady is, but we hope she is aware that she has no more legal right to 'smash' a sa loon window in Chicago than she has to hurl a stone through Bishop Merrill's front door or window. At the same time we agree with the lady that all liquor selling is Illegal according to the higher law, but it is legal according to the lower law, in whose name Mrs. Nation is likely to be -arrested if she makes trouble in the Chicago streets. "When people prove that they can make speeches and can take a basket of well assorted stones and throw all of them accurately do all this after reach ing middle life, yet having had the graee of quiet in previous years we them respect, and therefore must re frain from giving advice to them. Some innocent people may see that which the wise in this world's wisdom see not. We do not know. We shall wait to find out, and to rejoice if the lady from Kansas confounds the wisdom of every city official in Chicago." AT POINT OF DEATH Lies E. W. Steele, the First Territorial Governor of Colorado. Colorado Springs. Col., Feb. 7. R. W Steele, the first territorial governor of Colorado, lies at the point of death in this city. He has not yet been informed of the death of his -wife, which took hilp home. a f CURE LOCUST ST. place on WTednesday for fear of hasten ing his end. He is not expected to live 24 hours and preparations are being made to bury both in the same grave. Mrs. Susan N. Steele had been suffer ing with rheumatism for over a year, her death being hastened by an attack of grip. Mr. Steele is suffering from the same complaint. R. W. Steele came to Colorado In 1S59 and was made provisional governor of Jefferson, territory by which Colorado was then known.

Pennsylvania Company Said to Have Compact With TJ. P. New York, Feb. 7. A special to the Times from Philadelphia says: Persistent rumors which could not be confirmed find credence in railroad and financial circles. They are to the effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany has entered a transcontinental deal which ensures it traffic from ocean to ocean. It is said to have made a Compact with the Union pacific, which recently acquired the Southern Pacific. The deal is said in these quarters to in clude both the Atchison and Southern railway systems. One Pennsylvania railroad official said: "I do not believe that the rumors of negotiations for the Atchison and Southern system- ore the proper ex planation, but the Pennsylvania road and Southern Pacific are pretty clo-s and an ocean to oi-can deal might bn easily arranged. The rumors of tlm Pennsylvania-Union Pa'-ific doM m:u' have some real foundation hi fact. If thej- are true. I am inclined to think the Atchison and Southern, railway fys tems may be included."
