NATION l7IilS l Jndge JlcCabe Decides "Senate' Case in Her Favor. Can Not Be Held For Destruc tion of Property. A TUBLIC MJISANCE. Person Can Not Abate One W ith out Ueing Aggrieved. Therefore She Hart No Right to Destroy Joints. Question of Malice the Saving Clause. In deciding: the Nation case in the court of Topeka, Judge MeCabe square ly held that the defendant had no rigiit to destroy saloon pioperty, and that in p doing, she was guilty of the offense charged iTi? was acquitted because of the stipulation and agreement by the state that she had no malice toward the owners of the property, such malice being- a necessary ingredient of the of fense. Mrs. Nation was discharged in the city court this morning on the. charge of maliciously destroying property owned by "Sheep" Lytle and Mike-Kelly, pro prietors of a joint known as "'The Sen ate" which Mrs. Nation and her defend ers demolished on the morning of Feb ruary 5. The case was submitted upon an a ere i-d statement of facts. 1 he facts .agreed upon, in brief, were tnat she and her followers smashed the bar and fix tures of the place but in doing so held no malice against the proprietors but did it with the idea of abating a public ijiilsance. The state maintained t!i;.t an indi vidual had no right to abate a public nuisance where no special injury had been sustained by the defendant and the jioir.t was decided in favor of the prose cution. The second question, agreed upon in the written stipulation by the attorneys, was that Mrs. Nation bore no malice toward the plaintiffs and therefore was sue guilty fir not of malicious destruc tion of property. The court held she was not guilty and ordered her release. The following is the decision given by Judge McCabe: The case wn tried to the court with out a jury, upon an aereed statement of facts entered into in writing and signed by the attorneys for the Btate and the defendant, the salient facts admitted being that the defendant destroyed the property described in the complaint, which was located and used in a cer tain place in the city t.f Topeka. known as "The Senate"; that said place was .a nuisance under the laws of this state: that the property destroyed was used in the course of carrying on said nuis ance; and that the destruction bv the defendant was without malice towards the owners of the destroyed property. it was to lie hoped that upon the facts as stipulated and agreed upon by coun sel. th- one broad, legal question alone could have beer, presented, viz., whether or not an individual has the right to abate a public nuisance, where no spe cial injury has been sustained by such individual: or. in other words, could Mrs. Nation, the defendant In this case, be convicted under section 12X of the crimes net T-.nirn,2 l.tiT i.-t.....n had destroyed property used in carrying on and maintaining a saloon. If thiswere the only question of law presented in this case by the facts as agreed upon, there should not be much room fof doubt as to what the decision should be, for this court, in harmony with the de cision of the supreme court of this state In the cas" of School District vs. Neil. Sti Kan. tiir, and a large number of the courts of last resort of the various states, would have to decide that an in dividual has not tiie right to abate a. public nuisance, where no special in jury is sustained by the individual as the result of scch .nuisance in other words, that th" defendant is guilty as charged. Mam- of the ablest text writ ers also aptmiii ee the rule to be to this effect. The contention of the state is. it seems to me. abundantly established upon this proposition. It is not claimed that Mis. Xai.,n suffered or sustained any p( ia! injury by reason of the ex istence of the ncisance which she under u.k to abate, but it is expressly- ad-?-3r,itfed that she is a resident of Barber county, and was only temporarily in Shawnee county. However, a second question of law arises uiKn what are admitted to be the facts in this case, which is. Can the de fendant be convicted where the destruc tion of the property was without malice to the owners of the same? It is ex pressly stipulated in writing by the at torneys f,,r the state, in the agreed statement of facts submitted to the court, upon which judgment is to be renaerea, mat Irs. Nation had no mal ice towards the owners of the prop erty destroyed. The section of our stat utes upon which this proposition is based is sect id US of chapter 100 of the compiled laws of l-.r7, which reads as follows: Any person who shall willfut.lv and maliciously iie-troy. d.face. remove or iriure the property of another, public or private, shall on conviction be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and punished by tine not less- than live dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or by Jmpr'.sonmert in the county jail not to exceed six months or by both such fine imprisonment." This section of cur ?tat,ieS was orsi raily known as chapter !"4. of 'he ses sion laws of s which chapter was en titled, at the time of its mn-tm"! "Jn Act to Punish Malicious Mischief "'irr line statutes txlst in most of lr., slates if t'"t,'!"n Jt has 'll;ite generallv ner-n he'd by the "ourts. in construir y.'u.-h statutes, that the malice necessary to exist btfoie a. person can he conviet ther-uc jer. must h- mi-lice conceived against the wr.er of the nrnneriv .t ing ot tne domestic animal. ,.r v...- 1 i "l amnnr-t a "tatute. known as sec- If- prosecuted rhe ueeided weight of authority it seems to me, supports the doctrine "tha conviction can be had undr exist nig against the proper ly injured or destroyed is not sufficient to sustain a conviction under such stat utes. Many of the cases decided Inv" rris;n under statutes preset ibing pun ishment for tne malieir.us irinrv o- Will Verier w. compiled laws of IS.', which is or.3 of the malicious mis chief statutes of this state, the other be ,.ng the statute under which hi what are known as malicious mischief statutes, which provide punishment for the malicious injury or destruction, of the property of another, the malice nec essarily" found to exist must be conceiv ed against the owner of the property. Additional force is lent to this conten tion of the defendant by reason of the peculiar language of section 120, of the crimes act, statutes of lSHT. This section provides that: "Every punishment and forfeiture imposed on any person malic iously committing any offense prohibited by the prevision of either of the last eight preceding sections, shall equally appiy and be in fui'ce, whether the of fense shall.be committed from malice conceived against the owner of the pro perty in respect to which it shall be committed, or otherwise." The eight sections referred to provide punishments for malicious trespass, the malicious injury to railroad property of various kinds, to rafts, boats or other ves sels, to mill dams and bridges, to monu ments and landmarks, and to mile iosis and guide boards, but neither of our ma licious mischief statutes Is included among the etq:ht sections -covered by said sec tion It would seem to be necessary to grope very far to determine what must manifestly have been the legislative in tent In limiting the operation of section lin to the eight sections Immediately pre ceding it. In expressly excluding the sec tion under which this action Is prorecuted from the operation of section 320, the leg islature must have Intended that in prose cutions under the former section the rule should be used as it has been decided to be in otiier stales, that is to say. malice towards the owner of the property de stroyed must be proven to exist before a conviction can be had. If the stipulated tacts were merely si lent on this, point, the court might and probably would Indulge the presumption that malice existed upon the part of de fendant, against the owners of the prop erty destroyed, and in so doing the court would be justitied. under the decisions, on account of the manner in which the de struction of the property was accomp lished, fitlt where it is expresslv agreed and admitted by the state, as" in" this case, hat no such malice did in fact ex ist, the court is of opinion that no eonvie- L tion can lie had, notwithstanding the de fendant would otherwise, in the opinion or tne court, De guilty of the offense with which she- stands charged. The defend ant is discharged. REFUSEDS200,000 Major Alherton of the Prince of Wales Lancers Brings Suit Against His Wife For Divorce. Ixmdon, Feb. 21. Major T. J. Ather ton, second in craomar.il of the Twelfth (Prince of Wales) Lancers, now in South Africa has filed a. suit for divorce against his wife, Mabel Louisa Atherton, naming the Duke of Westminster as co respondent. With the announcement of the filing of the suit of "Atherton vs. Atherton and Westminster," the long anticipated -divorce prix-eedings of Major Atherton against his wife, with the Duke of Westminster figuring in. the role of co respondent have at length materialized. Within the past 36 hours a lawyer whj is looked upon as the leader of the di vorce court bar has been retained in be half of the petitioner. The case cannot be aired in court at any rate for some months and possibly not before autumn and the friends of the just married duke may succeed in compromising the matter and preventing a trial. But as Major Atherton is reported to have already re fused a check for 40,000, as compensa tion for the injury he is said to have sustained, the task ahead of those who are trying to arrange a settlement, among whom is said to be King Edward himself would seem to he insuperable. The petitioner in this sensational scan dal belongs to' one of the crack regi ments in the British army, the Twelfth (Prince of Wales Royal) Lancers. Major Atherton ought to have succeeded to th command of the regiment when its late colonel, the Earl of Airlie, was killed in South Africa in June last, but he was passed over in favor of Col. B. T. Ma lum who commanded the British forces which relieved Mafeking. The respondent. Mabel Louise Ather ton, is a sister of Sir Aubrey Paul, Bare. She married the major in 1892. They have one son, born, in 1S9!. Mrs. Ather ton is a good looking stylish woman about 35 years of age. She belongs to London's smart set. When Mrs. Ather ton went to JrSouth Africa her husband's regiment was with Lord Methuen's command at the M odder river and she proceeded there. Mrs. Atherton was af the Modder river camp with other vvo mn when Dr. Treves denounced the "plague of women" at the front in South Africa. The Duke of Westminster, then I-ord Bcigrave and the brother of a well known South African millionaire, whose name has been mentioned with that of Mrs, Atherton. were at the same camp. For a long time Major Atherton remain ed in ignoiance of the camp gossip but finally some of his brother officers noti fied him of the facts in the case. Mis. Atherton returned to England in, Octo ber and stopped off at the island of Ma-de-ria. There she took passage on a steamer which was taking the Duke of Westminster home. They arrived in London November 5. Since the return of Mrs. Atherton the Grosvenor familydhe duke's name is Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor) has been engaged in an at tempt to prevent the case getting into the courts. The countess of Grosvenor, the duke's mother invited Mrs. Atherton to her home. This move silenced the gossips for some time. Then came the report of the service of a citation on. the Duke of Westminster the day of his marriage, which was disproved by the fact that the suit was not then filed. The Duke of Westminster was married at St. Paul's church, Knightsbridge, London, February 16, to Miss Shelagh West, daughter of Col. William Cornwallis West. i AMERICAN SCHOONER 0ST.

One of Places In Which There Was a Fine Bar. WAS X0T ENJOINED. Only Big Joint in Topeka Omit ted From List. What the Police Records Say Abont It. Eight times the police have visited the building at 116 East Fourth street, own ed by Col. Hughes or his wife for the purpose of arresting the proprietors of the joint run and maintained there by the Wood brothers, since August. This is the record read by Chief Staht con cerning this place at the law and order meeting at the Auditorium "At 116 East Fourth, W. Wrood, F. B." The F. B. meant "fine bar." The joint was run on the first floor and a fine, hard wood bartw-as' there and all the fixtures and stock of a first-class joint were there.

Mrs. Nation the joint was locked up the same as the others and not until then was any ertectuai move maue towaiu closing it. Arrests had been made but the joint kept on running. When Steb bins Evans, acting for Chief of Police Stahl prepared 1H injunction cases against the owners of buildings whei'e joints are located there was no injunc tion case prepared for the Woods' joint to be served upon Col. J. W.F.Hughes as owner of the building or any of his agents. This was the only joint of any pretentions in the entire city that did not have injunction proceedings brought against it, and it is well to inquire why! The following is the list of arrests of the Wood brothers for running a joint In the Hughes building since August 21, the charge and the date and the officers making the arrests. William Wood. August 2. Lucas and Bernard. Selling liquor and maintaining: a nuisance. Henry Wood, August 22. Lucas and Bernard. Selling liquo1 and maintain ing a nuisance. William Wood, August 27.

Goff, Favey, Parcels, Hutton. Selling liquor. Col. Hughes complained to Mayor Drew when a negro named Dupree start ed a joint in a building near the Woods' joirt. Was it because he wanted to protect the "business" of his tenants? Col. Hughes is now the "law and or der" candidate for mayor of Topeka. Strange, isn't it? HUNTER MOVES UP. To Be Assistant General Freight Agent of Colorado Itlidland. F. D.

He is a very capable freight traveling man, and has many friends among the rail road men of Kansas. The office of as sistant general freight agent has just been created by the Colorado Midland management niRoueii SENATE Railroad Bill Passes in Commit tee of Whole. The railroad bill came up in the senate in the committee of the whole this, morning. The section allowing the fail roads a day in court was introduced and adopted. Senator Householder wanted a bill to include electric lines as he says the elec tric roads in his county are doing vir tually the same business as steam roads. The amendment was veced down. Senator Allen objected to the section providing that passengers who got on trains without tickets should pay ten cents extra and that the conductors should issue a cash fare slip for all fares paid on the train, the slip to be redeem ed by the station agent at the destination He said that it was a slap at the hon esty of the conductors. Senator Householder also objected on the same grounds. He said that at cr.e time the state passed a similar law which was passed several years ago and w-hich proved so unpopular that it was unani mously repealed at the next session. Senator McMillan objected because he said some one might get on the train with the exact fare and could not ride owing to the extra ten cents. The matter has been thoroughly discussed in the caucus and although strongly opposed v; m W i i was sanctioned by the caucus, so the amendment was voted down. Senator Wright proposed an amend ment making the evidence furnished by an injured shipper before the tioard of commissioners prima facie evidence of the justice of his ease. The amendment was lost. Senator Wright proposed an amend ment allowing railroads to carry freight, free for officers of the road, for relief purposes and for exposition purposes, also reduced rates to the government and the state. Also allowing railroads to issue return trip passes to shippers of stock. The amendment was not adopt ed. Senator McMillan offered an amend ment doing away with the issue of pass es. "I offer this amendment," he said, "because I fear the committee and cau cus overlooked it. I am sure that you are anxious that the amendment should pass." He then said that the asking and receiving of passes was the same as ask ing and receiving money. Senator Allen Interrupted and asked if Senator Mc Millan was not now carrying a pass. "No. sir," replied Senator McMillan, 'I haven't ridden on a pass since f was elected senator and more than that I have neither asked nfir received a pass for my family or friends." He made a long speech on the evils of the pass sys tem, but the senators did not agree wiih him and the amendment was lost. The rjnly change made in the bill ea before printed was the allowing the rail roads a day in court. Senator Wright's amendment to elect the railroad commissioners at the gen eral elections for a term of three years was defeated without any debate. MR. HANK LA MOVES.

SAVED FRp HOD omeeVs Spirited "Slick" Slater Out of Town. Determined Men Gathered at the Jail. FATHER OF VICTIM. lie Made Search of Jails For Slater. Satisfied He Was Gone and Dis persed the Crowd. Twice last night mobs gathered at the county and city jails in hopes of secur ing "Slick" Slater, the man who as saulted Lottie Goerbrick Monday night, intent upon administering swift justice. Slater was not in either place. By seven o'clock the mob began to gather and at eight o'clock numbered 1,200 people packed closely around the city jail at Fifth and Jackson streets. The crowd was quiet and orderly but determined. Men talked in excited monotones. Little knots of men stand ing closely together and away from the thick of the mob talked of the best way to secure the prisoner and to carry out the intent of the mob. A dozen po licemen stood guard in front of the little jail building and kept the crowd back. Policemen and others mjngled with the mob telling the people that Slater was not in the city jail. The mob paid no attention to the stories. No decided move was made until a party of Santa Fe shopmen arrived. The crowd knew they meant business. Some of the men had no hats nor coats. A surge was made toward the front door of the jail. The police kept the crowd back. Then Foreman Goerbrick of the Santa Fa shops, father of Lottie Goerbrick who was assaulted by Slater Monday night, stood on the railing in front of the jail and called the attention of the crowd. "Give me your attemdon a min ute," he shouted. "Who are you?" cried some one in the crowd. "I am the father of the girl," replied Goerbrick. "Let me tell you that I thank you all for your interest in this matter. I have been through this jail and he is not here. He is not in the county jail for I have been there, too, but there will be a time when he will be brought here and then God help him." "Where is he?" were. the cries. "I don't know," said the father. Then Jessie Goerbrick; sister o"? the injured girl, mounted the railiDg to speak. "That's Jessie," said a score of men in the crowd. "Men," shouted the girl, "this is an awful thing but I have been with father through the jail and the man is not here. I saw him this afternoon. My home is blighted but it will do no good tonight to batter down the Jail." "Send a committee inside," was the shout. "1 know the brute," said a man from Carbondale, ar.d he was placed at the head of the Committee wdth the father, the sister and t-vo determined men. The committee' was taken into the city Jail and allowed to go through. When the committee returned from the tour of in spection a man mounted the railing. "Gentlemen," shouted the man. "Who are you?" "I'm Whitcomb." was the reply., "We have been through the jail and he is not here." "To the county jail," was the cry. At the county jail the committee made a tour of inspection and returned to re port that the man was not there. "The man is not here," shouted the father from the steps. "Give us Mrs. Nation," cried one. "Go to Cook s barn," shouted another, and a crowd of a hundred made a rush for the stable. The crowd seemed satisiied that the man they wanted was not there, and within twenty minutes the inob had dis persed and only a -score or more re mained talking over the events of the evening. The members of the mob seemed to go to their homes. They were orderly and quiet. About 11 o'clock another mob gath ered at the county jail. The second mob was noisy and made up of more boys and young men than the first. The crowd was noisv and disorderly. A de mand was made for Slater. Sheriff Cook spoke to tl e crowd from the steps He repeated his assurance that Slater was not there. "You can appoint a committee of ten men to guard this jail over night," said Cook. "We will take them in and tr"at them the best we can and will give them their suppers. By morning they can look and prove for themselves that the man is not here." Chief Stahl took a turn at pacifying the crowd. "Foys, the man was taken away today, and tonight is in the Atchi son Jail. Hal Williams took him." Officer Carpenter said: "Yes, boys, we took him in a buggy to Meriden and Hal Williams took him on the train to Atch ison," During the evening people in Carbon dale were telephoning to the county jail to know what had been done with Sla ter. He has been identified beyond doubt as the man who committed the assault. He has been identified by Miss Goer brick and James Turner. He as much as admitted his guilt by agreeing to plead guilty if he could remain in Atch ison and not be brought back to Topeka fer trial. The capture of Slater is to the credit of the police force. Monday night, the night the assault was committed. he was seen at the police station where he came in hopes of having Callie Williams ar rested on the charge of taking a small amount of money from him. That was early in the evening. When the police arrived at the scene of the outrage after the man had made his escape his hat and belt were found and were identified as belonging to the man who had called at the station. He was traced by Ser geant, Donoa-an and his assistants to the Vegetarian restaurant where he had been staying. He had left there but it was found he lived in Carbondale. Tuesday- morning Officers Carpenter and Eundv went to Carbondale in a buggy. They found where Slater lived and went to the house. He was lying on a cot In the front room. His parents were in the back room. The officers told him he was wanted as a witness in the Williams cae and he made preparations to go with them. "Where is your hat?" asked Bundy. "Oh, round here, but this cap w-ill do," he replied. "You know you list your hat yester dav. said his mother. "Where are your overalls?" asked Car penter. They were found on the porch and the knees were badly scuffed where he had fallen from the high wall surrounding the Lincoln school while making his escape. Slater's" knees were badly bruised and cut from the fall. SHAFTER PROMOTED. Given "Rank in the Regulars Many Other Promotions in the Army. Washington, Feb. 21.

Defective electric wires started a fire in the motor car or a metropolitan elevated railroad train today when the train was within three blocks of its terminus. Attempts to quench the fire with chemical fire ex tinguishers failed and the car soon filled with smoke. The flames spread rapidly and the five passengers fled to the rear cars. The motorman stuck to his post and succeeded in bringing the train to the terminus. He was severely burned about the hands and arms and his leg was crushed in uncoupling the rear cars. The car was burned to the trucks and the station platform damaged entailing a loss of $5,000. THE "DOCTOR" DEAD. Original of Mark Twain's Character in "Innocents Abroad." Colorado Springs, Colo..

LENTZ STARTS A ROW By a Reference to the Election of Senator Hanna. Washington, Feb. 21 The house final ly passed the sundry civil appropriation bill and entered upon the consideration of the deficiency the last of the general appropriation bills. Mr. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who in this and the previous congress has violently attacked the ad ministration, furnished the sensation of the day. He used a newspaper para graph recounting the death of a fed eral judge in New Mexico, who had been a member of the legislature which elect ed Senator Hanna as a text for charg ing corruption in that election. This called forth a rebuke from Mr. Cannon, who declared that brave men fought, the living and only ghouls rav ished the tombs of the dead. General Grosvenor (O.) attempted to reply, and the two Ohioans were anxious for the fray, but Mr. Cannon would not permit it. He thought if "dirty linen" was to be washed the gentleman should hire a hall. Later Mr. Lentz made a second on slaught of a more sensational character, and brought down upon himself the whole Republican side of the house. In some remarks about a paragraph in the bill for payments for the apprehension of deserters, Mr. Lentz made the startling charge that the soldiers in the Philip pines had buried a native alive and had then beheaded him, and he read a letter written, he said, by a soldier in the Philippines, saying that he and his companions while on an expedition were ordered to shoot every man and beast they found. Mr. Lentz said If these things were true, the soldiers were jus tified in deserting. Mr. Cannon, Mr. Mahon (Pa.), Mr. Grosvenor (O.) Mr. Moody (Mass.), amid warm applause, strongly rebuked Mr. Lentz. Mr. Cannon, declared that were Mr. Lentz in the Philippines he would be tried by court martial and shot. Mr. Mahon said that Mr. Lentz's re mark. were revamps of the copperhead speeches of forty years ago, and Mr. Moody read the words of Lincoln that the man who encourages a soldier to de sert is worse thin the deserter.

DECOEEJSSUES, China Accepts the Demands Made by the' Powers. The Court Orders the Killing to Proceed. LACK OF FAITH SHOWN Count Von Waldersee Continues His Military Preparations. Prince Ching is Greatly Dis turbed by What He Sjes. Pekin, Feb. 21. Prince Ching and LI Hung Chang have received telesTaphi.; instructions from the court to notify the ministers of tha powers that a ck-ei-e has been issued regarding the punish ments of Chinese officials confirmatory of the demands made by tne minlsteis as follows: "Gen Tung Fuh Sian to !.e degraded and deprived of his rank "Prince Tuan and Duke Lan to be disgraced and exiled. "Prince Chuang. Ying Nh .1 and Chao Shu Chiao to commit sui-i-le. "Hsu Chen Yu, Tu Hsien and Kl Hain to be beheaded." This is not exactly wTiat the minisltis demanded, but It is considered advis able to agree to it, as in th" demand for lives it has been agreed to ex. i t in the case of Gen. Tung Fuh h-'ism whom the court is powerless to molest. There is a private understanding that his life will be claimed whenever it is possible. The European and Chin. secretaries of legation and oiheis who have lived in China for yeais onsider that China has gained a victory as the only person the court has to behead i Yu Hsien. The other two are in the hands of the Japanese and could he- he headed when their executio.i is wanted. Suicide is no disgrace whatever ia th eyes of the Chinese. No one believes Gen. Tung Fuh Sian will ever suffer punishment. People here say Chinese imperial edicts are very unstable documents especially when private edicts to the executive oth- -cials accompany the pubi;e edicts. A recent decree ordered all tne indicated officials to commit suicide yet it is evi dent a secret edict was sent instructing persons implicated not to obey. What proof, it is asked, is there now that the terms of the decree will be carried out. Prince Ching is greatly alarmed at the preparations for the military expedition into the interior. He asks why they are not countermanded, now that China has agreed to the demands of the' powers, in stead of which the preparations con tinue. Mr. J. Fowler, the United States con sul at Che Foo. has sent Minister Con ger a proclamation issued by Yu'n Shi Kai, the trovt-rnor of the province of Shan Tung, giving protection to the mis sionaries, offering a reward of 20i taels for the capture of any of the ringleaders of the recent disturbances, and offering a reward of 100 taels for the capture of others of those actually committing out rages. The civil and military authori ties will be held strictly accountable for the good order of their districts. When outrages are committed thiy will b disgraced and reported to the throne. Where no outrages occur for three years the civil and military authorities will he rewarded by a merit tablet and button. The merchants of Tien Tsin have sent a memorial to General Chaffee, asking him to resume the .occupation of the Formosian concession long ago given up and unoccupied, though Iml h the British and German commanders talk of annexing it. The merchants point out that they will be badly handicapped without the concession, as they would have to pay wharfage to a foreign power as well as to the Chinese officials. The general desires that the mailer ho referred to Minister Conger for decision. TOLD BY CONG Kit. Washington, Feb. 21. A cablegram has been rece-ved at the state depart ment from Minister Conger stating that the Chinese plenipotcntiai ies. have In formed the foreign ministirs that the emperor has a."-eed to all the punish ments named in his (Conger's) telegram of February 6 last. The persons named In the telegram referred to Willi the punishment's pre scribed were as follows: For prince Tuan and Lan. degradation and exii'-: the death penalty for Yu Hsien. Chi Liu and Hsu Sheng Yu. the two latter be ing prisoners of the Japanese; post humous honors for the four members of the tsung li yamen who wer executed last summer by the Chinese because of their. lntercess! in for the foreigners. The great d.fikuity in the way of ex ecuting Gen. Tung Fu Sian being recog nized by the ministers, it was atriVet that some punishment, to be determined on later, should be administered to him when it was possible to do so. A sub sequent message from Minister Conger includes in the punishment list (and it is understood that they are also ineiud' d in the emperor's promise just given) Chua.-.g. who is to be executed: Chao Shu Chaio, Ying Nien. Chi Hsu and Hsu Cheng Yu. who are to be punished in some method yet to be determined. It is still uncertain whether Mr. Con ger's message marks the passage of thil important phase of the Chinese ques tion relative to punishments aid the taking up of the questions of Indemnity and guarantees. All depends upon whether the ministers at Pekin have de termined that the sentences above tie scribed must be executed as a prelim inary to further progress in the negoti ations, but it is surmised that such is the case, though it is regarded as an unnecessary delay in the negotiations, which it is apparent to the official min 1 must consume many weeks before the single question of indemnities ca.i he cleared away. Apprehension en thi score Is based upon reports unofficial hut credible indicating the purpose of tie Germans to claim indemnities which both in amount and in met nod of pay ment would be far beyond the ability of the Chinese to meet cnltss the just claims of the other powers are jgnoied.

Crime to Witness a Boxing Match in Chicago. All Parties Eound Orer to the Grand Jury. Chicago, Feb. SI. "I am a reducer of fat people," was the answer given by (William Madden, manager of Gus Ruh lin, the jrize fighter, when asked, his lusir!es3 In Justice Everett's court dur ing the trial of Kuhlin and Ed Martin en charges of conducting a sparring- ex hibition. Reformer Frank Hall, who caused Ihe arrest of the prize fighting actora mow appearing at Hurtig and Seamen's theater for the exhibition given Sunday :i8ht. found hia t.isk a hard one when 4 e attempted to prove that there had lii"pn sivfU a sparrinsr. contest by Ruhlin end Martin. According to the section of the law under which the pugilists were arrested witnesses were equally guilty with the principals, and every witness called by Hail refused to testify, on the prounds that in the event of a convic tion of the defendants every witness ad mitting having attended was liable to be tield to the grand jury. Hail then took the Ftand himself and told of witnessing the exhibition be tween Kuhlin and Martin on Sunday right. As soon as Hall had sworn to these facts Douis Houseman, former f rorioter of the Tattersalls Athletic club wori out warrants for Hail, charging h'.m with witnessing a sparring exhibi tion upon his own admissions. The war tants were served on Hall, and he gave bonds In the sum of JvOO for iiis appear ance for trial as soon as the present case nvas disposed of. An interesting p.int confronts ail par ties to the law suit. In order to convict Hall, Houseman must prove that there was a boxing contest between Ruhlin and Martin. If this is done, then Ruhlin and Martin must be convicted of pro motlrR a Ix'xing contest, and House man, Madden, Hoean, Hertig and every body else who attended the play at the theater is equally guilty and cannot es cape conviction. Ruhlin and Martin were held to the grand jury in bonds of $750. DETROIT GETS BARRETT. 6 tar Player of Cincinnati Team Passes to the Wolverines. Cincinnati, Feb. 21.

Jilanager George Stallings was In Cin- Lnnaii Sunday, and yesterday the re J.ort was circulated that Barrett would return to Detroit If this is true it Is In line with the expressed policy of the American leacrue magnates to corral two or three Na tional league stars for each of their eight ciubs. If Messrs. Hurnaand Stand ings have secured Jimmy Harrett they "have got the man whom many good fjudg-es consider the best all-round out fielder in the world.

England's Ruler Deliberately Cats Lord Beresford. London, Feb. 1. The sporting public iere is aghast and dismayed at the fking's attitude regarding sporting mat ers. It is apparent that his sporting career is closed and the turf -will knew Shim no more. Lord Marcus Beresford, jjii closest friend, who managed the turf .affairs of the Prince of Wales and who familiarly called "Marky" by all male royalty, is not now in clone at tendance on the king. Lord Beresford placed the Prince of fCVales" bets and did all the work usu ally done by a commissionaire. It was expected that Albert Edward, when he osme to the throne, would make Lord TSeresford at least otiief of his racing i:able, but hig action in cutting "Marky" eut of that and. in fact, overlooking him lias made a deep impression. Lord Beresford called upon the king t Buckingham pftlace yesterday and, with an air of familiarity, extended his fcand to his majesty and exclaimed: "How are you Beresford was particularly familiar in hn greetings ad even the staid court officials were astonished when the king Icily said: "Good morning. Lord Marcus Beres ford." Th king then turned away and left 'Lord Beresford standing where he was. Beresford retired in teats. He declared, like Faistaff, that he was "no more." DISCREpITED AT NOTRE DAKS. Charges of Professionalism Against Powers Ars Not Believed. Notre D.i me, Ind., Feb. 21. It Is the general opinion at Notre Dame that there is no foundation to the charges of yrofs'siunalim made against J. Fred Power. Four years ago, when he came i'ft, the same cry was raised, but it rial no foundation In fact. Bowers has proven hirustif an aele athlete, winning 1 points two years ago at the Western intercoller sate track meet. This ability may be a i.ijrnant reason why his ama teur stand' is questioned. His career s an athiete has bean sisnal'y free Trom any form cf professionalism. The our rien of proof lies on those preferrmg charsr"s. but if they can be substantia ted the board of control will take eum mary action and not allow Powers to compete on the track team.

The Pinkerton brothers were not inclined to take any action nsainst I.' ilominedieu. but the police took the initiative. Robert Pinkerton. ag-ainst whom the attack of L'Hommedieu was chiefly directed, was Inclined to excuse the act on the plea of drunkenness, but it is said that the plunder devoted yes terday afternoon and last night to cir culating injurious reports about the Pink erton. end making threats ic;nlnst them. This naturally made the well knotvn de If. tectives a .trine "sore," and while they did rot request the police to arret Ij'Komir.Pdie'j, they were doubtless not eorry to heax of his imprisonment.

The" proposed grounds adjoin Court llou-e square and the judges say it would be out of the Question to hold court with a base ball game in progress under the window, "and it won't be court that will adjourn," add ed JudRe Henry, signllicantly. Judge Henry had an entire band arrested last summer for disturbing court by playing in Shelly's park.

Football Fays Iowa. Iowa City, la., Feb. 21. If it hadn't been for football the University of Iowa would have been forced to face a large deficit when it came to footing up the expenses of conducting athletics in a big university.

COFFEY COUNTY Ten Cases Near Hall Summit With One Death. Burlington, Feb. '21. It apepars that at last Coffey county is up against the real thing in the way of smallpox. There are at least ten cases in Key West and Ottumwa townships, about ten miles north of town.

But they were not quar antined until scores of people, possi bly hundreds, had been exposed,. There was a case in that neighborhood a few weeks ago, but it was not called smaHpox. At first the disease at Bazil's was not called smallpox and many were exposed. Now there is no doubt as to what it is. And the worst of It is that it is in a vir ulent form. One death occurred Satur day night and others are said to be very sick. MONEY TO LOAN ON FARMS. Eastern Investors Seek to Place Cap ital on Kansas Real Estate. Abilene, Feb. 21. The demand for Kansas farm loans has r.ot been affect ed by any legislation this winter and there is on the part of eastern investors a healthy call for such investments. One Bgent today received a list of nearly 100 applications for farm loans in adjoining counties with instructions to investigate them and report, most of them being for purchase money, farmers buying more land or former" rehters'buying farms of eastern, owners, These latter, 'who se cured the lands under foreclosure during the hard times of the early 90s, are find ing a ready sale for the property. Many" renters who have heretofore leased lands have this spring been unable to secure SPT I v i r -V f 'farms and are compelled to -work for wages or go out of the county, The pur chasers of land a year ago hold theif farms at $5 to $8 an acre higher than then. The advance is more marked in counties west of here. One buver in Mitchell county counts an advance of $10 on 3,600 acres -purchased last June. The loan agent;-, are taking 6 per cent straight for loans, including commis sion, the lowest rate ever made hi re, end are allowing good privileges. The farm loans are sought after by local capital ists who are making loans direct to the farmers wrier, possiole. This, to some ex tent, lessens the demand for easterr. money, but has had the effect of lower ing rates. PRESENT TO K, S. A. COLLEGE. W. O. Park, of Atchison, Donates Fine Angus Bull to Herd.

Celebrate a Golden Wedding. Wellsville, Feb. 21. Mr. and Mrs. George Kretsinger, of Peoria, this coun ty, celebrated their golden wedding an niversary Monday. Their friends were present in large numbers to celebrate the event. They were married in Illi nois and came to Kansas in 18r7, after wards being prominently identified with border ruffian troubles.

Woods, a well known young man, left home, wife and baby on Sunday. Nothing was heard of him -until Wednesday after noon, when a boy found him dead in the National hotel. He lived here, but traveled for a Pittsburg meat concern, so his absence was not unusual. He registered at tne liotel Tuesday night. There seems to have been little cause for his act except the remorse of pro tracted drinking. His firm reports a small shortage in his accounts, but he could have raised the money from a number of sources. Slot Machines Are Seized. Fort Scott.' Kan., Feb. 21.

RUSSIA'S P0SITI0X As Regards the Sugar Bounty Fully Set Forth New York, Feb. 21. Russian Minister of Finance S. J. Witte was asked the fol lowing Questions relative to the sugar question by the Journal and Advertiser: "Are the additional duties just imposed upon American products confined to American goods, or are they part of a general tariff which has heretofore been relaxed in our favor? "Is there any truth in the report pub lished here that Russia's action is the be ginning of the anti-American crusade followed by Count Goluohowski? "What are the facts about Russia's system of internal taxes and rebates on sugar which has been represented as equivalent to ft bounty on exports? "if Russia really paid a bounty on ex ports, would she have any objection to tiie exaction of a corresponding duty here, as in the case of German sugar?'' A reply in French was received, the translation being as follows: "By order of the minister of finance the industrial section has the honor to announce: A lowered tariff, the same as that upon the products of countries with which commercial treaties had been con cluded, was applied to American pro ducts. Today, instead of the conventional tariff, the general tariff with the addi tional duties is applied to American pro ducts. This measure having been takien exclusively for economic motives, has for its sole purpose the defence of the com mercial interests of Russia. "Russian sugar is subject to an indirect Impost applying only to internal consump tion and this impost does not apply to sugar exported to foreign countries. No bounty to encourage the export of sugar exists In Russia" CHICAGO SMASHERS. Serious Damage Dona to Three Sa loons in One Night. Chicago, Feb. 21.

TOPEKA STATE JOtTRUAX THURSDAY EVENIXG, FEBRUARY 21, 1C01. V0I.IEH VHQ SUFFER. Thousand Everywhere Who Endure Terrible Torture. Death Often Welcomed as a Means cf Belief. A Little Knowledge Would Often Afert Much Agony. Women are thesufferersof the human race. Their de!;cate organism is the cause of frequent and sever pain. There is no reason why women should lead life of rur h perpetual misery. God did not intend that this should be the case. It is enough that women should suffer in rivin birth t children. It is too much to Sr. her to suffer at other rimes, yet many Women experience each month tortures that an second" only to the pain, ot child birth. What is the causa of this It nearly always can be found In a disregard of Mat-are's laws, improper food, iiisuuicient ex ercise or care'.e.-sncK" iu other matters of livziene. a!! ot which go to weaken those organs in women that are the source of such piin and misery, ntiery nor, only to the woman herself, but to her enure family. What can be worse than to be always looking ahead to a time when several days cf helplessness will ensue It is impossible to make plans for the future, especially in eases where the monthly periods are irregu lar. There is no knowing when a woman will be able to attend to her every-day duties, or will be prostrated rUt on her back, and the worst part of this trouble is that such IrrPTularitT and pain goes hand in hand. Vomer, "who sutler and are irreeular in their periods experience much greater hard ships 'in child bearing. They are in much greater danger during cbiid birth. Worse than anrtuin else, the progeny cf such women are sickly, delicate, and undersized. Stvh children start life at a disadvantage. They are the kind that grow into sickly, nervous, and peevish men and women. WhT not eliminate all this suffering from tour life Yon can do it. Dr. Greene's S'ervura blood and nerve remedy is the greatest b.Kn known to women. It does everything that Nature craves for to make women well and strong- Dr. Greene's Nervura does not stop hereby nr means. It continues in iusood work by trensthenkiK the stomach. It invigorates tho kidnevs, aad makes the liver active and healthy, "it regulates the bowels and gives strength to thosa organs of women that are too frequently a source of trouble to them. One case of the many that we hear of that Indicates what Dr. Grjene's Xervura blood and nerve remeiy does comes from Lula Kevnoids, of Kockport, X.Y.. who says: "I have been ill fora Ion? time, and could ct no help, having employed several doctors, until I sot Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and nerve remedy. Sow that I have taken a few bottles of it,"l feci well, and I shall always bless Dr. Greens for having put such a good medicine on the market. I can never say enoujh in favor of it. Before taking it I suffered with heart trouble, female weak ness, and was s nervous that I could not bear to have anvone cross the floor. I had darting pains ail o' er me. Once I had St. "Vitus' dance. My menstruations stopped enrely. In fact, I went through every thing that fl'sh is heir to and lived. Can anyone wonder that I feel so thankful for my health, for I am but 29 years of age, and life is as sweet to me as to others, and I had made np my mind that I might as well die as to live in such pain. Everyone in my neighborhood thinks I was raised froiu the dead, as they know what it has done for me. I will be glad to explain to any lady who wih-s to know more of what 2 r.

Wanted Horses to board i PiAiLOOAD Gould's Western Trip Eevires Comiuunitv of Interests Talk. lie Sajs Wall Street is Ilespon- sible For Humors. COMBINATION DEALS. Fewer TraYelins Passenger and Freight Agents. Haye an Understandins Regard ing lluilding of Extensions. The present isit of George J. Gould president of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain roads, to the southwest has revived th": talk about "community of interests" deals in which Mr. Gould has been interested along with Morgan, Hill, Harriman and Vanderbilt. He has spent much time recently denying re ports of combinations and only two or tiiree days afro said that Wall street had circulated stories affecting railroad properties f'tr fi'ty years. For each there was a .xissibilny of truth, but the facts came out slowly and after the first re port had been circulated. Notwithstanding Mr. Gould's desire to minimize the significance of combina tions, and to throw the blame for ru mors upon shoulders other than those of railroad magnates, there are some far-reachins results coming from what already has been consummated. The first result is that since the roads have been drawn together under a few great heads, certain moves favorin economy on the part of all have been made. The reduction of the great army of traveling: passenger and freight agents is to take place before many months. It is paid that three-fourths the present number will lose their posi tions on account of the "community of interests" deals. It has been believed for a long1 time that railroads had some sort of an un derstanding with one another regard ing encroachments upon territory trav ersed by the several lines. Now it has leaked out that the great financial com binations which control practically all of the nation's railways have agreed, in connection with the "community of ownership" principle, that no line shall be extended without the consent of all the powers. This phase of the general agreement is taken by railroad officials to mean much. It is regarded as sufficient indi cation that the Harrimans, the Goulds, the Yanderbilts, Rockefeller, Hill, Mor gan and all of t.e other governing mag nates have interests more or less in common, and that there is a direct un derstanding tht no combination shall do anything to work injury to any of the other combinations in the way of building into territory already catered to by a "rival" line. The harmony which resulted from the united efforts to provide for permanent maintenance of certain tariffs made it possible to arrive at the agreement rel ative to further extensions of roads. In paving the way to the agreement it was argued that as rate wars demoralized stocks and placed securities at the call of all brokers, with possible changes in managements and in policies of opera tion, an understanding in all tariff mat ters called for equally full consideration by all interests likely to be affected by extensions or construction of branches. It is srid to be the purpose of the com manding combinations to respect the interests of the bis railroad systems in the "outside" list. They will act with such roads as they would anions them selves, first securing permission to build before advancing into their territories. Kailroad officials hold that such consid eration on the part of the big powers is intended solely to keep the "outsiders" from being angered into rate-cutting retaliations. ME. BARS HERE. Santa Fa Third Vice President Stops in Topeka. J. M.' Barr, third vice president of the Santa Fe, was in Topeka last night. His visit here has no further significance than that it Is connected with the be ginning of the construction of the new blacksmith shop. The st-el for the framework of this building nas been ar riving for the last few days and con struction will be begun soon. It will be located in "the field" east of the present car shops and when completed will be one of the largest ana mos; complete railroad blacksmith shops in. theeountry. It will be built within the next ninety days. NEW BURLINGTON PRESIDENT- G. B. Karris Is Placed at the Ilead o That System. Burlington. In.. Vfh. 21. Pres'dent C. E. Perkins of the Burlincton road was asked reeardins the Associated Pres statement thu-. he hud resigned and that Mr. G. B. Harris had been appointed his successor. Mr. Perkins .said it is true that Mr. Harris has ben made president of the C, li. r Q. road. Mr. Perkins will continue, however, to oVvote his time as heretofore io the affairs of tiie company and the manaemnt will not be affected by the change. Mr. Harris had performed many of the functions of a president for two or three years past and Mr. Perkins felt that as he had ht-id the office for nearly twen tv years and had lately passed his six tieth mile stone, it was an appropriate time to throw more work onto younger men. while at the same time retaining his interests in the company and remaining an the board as the principal western di rector. Mr. Perkins will give practically his whole time to the company's affairs. He will continue to live in Burlington and have his office here, as heretofore. UNION PACIFIC MEETING. Shareholders to Hold Special Meet ing in Salt Lake City. Mew York. Feb. 21. The Commercial Advertiser says: A call has been Issued for a special meeting of the shareholders of the t'nion Pacific railway in Salt Lake City on March 23, for the purpose of consider ing an increase of the capital stock of the company. A proposition will be submitted by the directors of the issue of $100,000,000 of new common stock in connection with the proposed $1,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds. The shareholders will also be asked to finally approve this bond issue and ratify the acts of the directors in the acquisition of new properties and all financial matters pertaining th?reto. For the purpose of this meeting as well as for the purposes of the dividends already declared the stock transfer books will close on February 23, and roopen March 25. This proposed increase of the cap Hal stock of the I'nion Pacific will make the entire capitalization of trie company $298,178,700. of which $100,000,000 is pre ferred stock. A larse part of the new capitalization will doubtless ultimately cover the 'cost of the recently acquired control interest of the Southern Pacific railway. A repert comes from the west, but lacks corroboration here, that the Union j Pacific management is having surveys made for a new branch line to Los Angeles with a view of heading off the Rock Island's alleged extension in that direction. Conservative railway men are skeptical regarding all reports of fur ther railroad extensions to the Pacific coast. SANTA FE LOCALS. Gus Smith of the paint shop is laying off on account of sickness.

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 caution than from any other causa. Eat sparingly. Your digestive or gans are in no condition to take care of larg-a quantities of food. Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It allaj's the fever, stimulates the kid neys to action and opens up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills. Take three doses of Dr. Miles' Nerv ine per day, and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time. To further control the fever, and to over come the peculiar aches and pains of grip, use Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. They act quickly and effectually, and no bad effects result from their use. These remedies have been thoroughly tested more than a million times, and their efficiency is thoroughly established. They never fail to give relief. Dr. Miles' Remedies can be found at any drug store, and they are sold on a positive guarantee that first bottla or package benefits or money re funded. For Grip aches use Dr. Miles' Pain Pills.

It Is Working Havoc in the Iron Trade of England. New York, Feb. 21. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The depression in the British iron and steel trades formed the keynote of the Duke of Devonshire's address to the shareholders of the Furnesa railway over which he presides. He attributed the present condition of affairs to the keen American competi tion and expressed the opinion especially in regard to steel rails that the competi tion would become even more acute and that further depression in the home in dustry was inevitable. Sir Christopher Furnesa in proposing at Newcastle that the famous Stephenson works should have bigger accommodation, mentioned as his reason the fact that the American locomotive trade had increased 450 per cent while England's trade had de creased 25 per cent. La Grippe Quickly Cured. "In the winter of ISns and 1S99 T was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe," says F. L. Hewitt, a prominent druggist of Winfield, 111. "The only medicine I used was two boltles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, nnd I have never since been trou bled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can always be depended upon to break up a severe cold and ward off any threatened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and one of the most pop ular preparations in use for these ail ments. For sale by all druggists. Washington, D.

New York, Feb. 2L A World dispatch from London says: Sir Charles Diike replying to a ques tion as to whether America's permission to England to obtain supplies of horses for use in South Africa was a breach of neutrality said: "It is no breach of neutrality, but it is perfectly competent to any government to refuse to allow horses to be exported without committing an unfriendly act. Some countries never permit the export of horses for war purposes Turkey for instance. Others like Austria Hungary have a law against it, but where they are friendly disposed toward either of the belligerants such countries occasion ally wink at a breach of this law. Austria-Hungary has allowed us to export horses to South Africa and there is no breach of neutrality involved. It .is a case of catch me if you can. There are plenty of precedents for refusing to allow horses to be exported for war purposes." Several English and Welsh members of the house of commons who disapprove of the government's South African policy were seen by the World correspondent today and while sympathizing with the effort to put a stop to the practice which they regard as unfair to the Boers would not speak for publication. One prom inent member said: "I think.it a miser able thing that the great American re public should aid this great monarchical empire in crushing these little South African republics by supplying England with horses. We can get no horses from France, Russia or Germany and there is no doubt that assistance in the shape of horses given under the aegis of the "Washington authorities has done irre parable damage to the cause of Boer independence. The British government could not complain either, it the supply Avas stopped." STOLE FREIGHT TRAIN After Robbing a Bank, But Fail ed to Get Away. Rantoul, 111., Feb. 21. The private banking institution of F. B. Vennum, at Fisher, a small hamlet in Champalgm county, was robbed today by a lone highwayman, who secured $1,620. At 10 o'clock Arthur Hyser, a farmer boy. aged 22 years, entered the bank and in a quiet tone said he wanted money, at the same time covering the clerks with a pistol. The cashier, Arthur Vennum, handed out the money requested, and the robber backed out of the door. An alarm was given, but not before the rob ber had boarded a freight train Just pulling into the yards and taken charge of the engine. Several citizens armed themselves and caught the caboose of the train as it passed the depot.

In the course of the debate in the house of commons today on a temperance amendment to the ad dress in reply to the speech from the throne, Mr. Ritchey, secretary of state for home affairs, said the government fully recognized the necessity for re form, but he pointed out that the mover of the amendment, T. P. Whittaker, Liberal, acknowledged that it was his desire to achieve total prohibition. This had been tried in many towns and cities of the United States, and "in every in stance it had been a gigantic failure." Mr. Hay's Reply. Washington, Feb. 21. The answer of the state department to the house reso lution calling for a statement of its rea sons for allowing its transports to be used for forwarding American horses and ether supplies to the British army in South Africa, a privilege not allowed by the Boers, will point to the well es tablished section of international law warranting neutral nations in selling supplies to belligerents, though these supn'.ies may properly be seized by a belligerent. It also will be shown that no obstacle was interposed by the United States government to the purchase of horses and mules by the Boers who pre sumably did not do so because they were unable to land them in South. Africa. Visit My New Place. Ill W. 7th St., Security Building. See the new spring styles. OLOF EKBERG, Merchant Tailor.

T'nin.--s Ofnce Bull 'Ptione J:- p .rters' Room Be.l 'Phone 577 The question with the Chinese govern ment seems to be how to make the pun ishment fit the crime. If Mr. Carnegie be still burdened by a fear of dying rich. It is suggested that he let the present congress have a whack at his pile. While we have been protecting other American countries from the encroach ments of Kurope. the Kuropeans have been capturing the trade. Late dispatches from South Africa in dicate that the Boers came near cap turing Qeneral Kitchener while he was iu hot pursuit of De Wet They got all his baggage. A dispatch from Peoria Indicates that an editor-of that town is confidently ex pecting Sirs. Nation to come on there and take charge of his paper fof a day. Perhaps he has $2,000 that he is Willing to part with for a few days. If Capt. Oberlin M. Carter has any .-crets to divulge regarding thu crime for which he is undergoing punishment, he may as well give them to the world. His chance of release from prison before the expiration of his term seems more I "mote than ever. An Irish member of parliament was pquvlched by the speaker yesterday for attempting to address the cause in his native language. If a member of the American congress should make a h in German or Swede it la unlikely that anybody would notice the dififer- nee. The state of Pennsylvania proposes to estab'ish camps for consumptives in the public forest preserves in. Pike, Clinton ami other counties within a few months. What the consumptive needs is a cli mate in which he can spend most or all of his time in the open air, with nothing to do but to enjoy It. Much criticism has been showered up en the senate fcr passing an entirely new bill instead of the one prepared by the house1 in relation to the revenue. The criticism ia based upon the constitution til provision that bills for raising reve ruc shall originate in the house. As the pending measure is intended to reduce the revenue and not raise perhaps the senate considers itself justified. The so-called Cuban problem is, for the United States chiefly a Question of national honor," says the Buffalo Cour. t"f. Tes, but our obligations as regards the inland are two fold. We are under promise to the Cubans to give thern in dependence, while we are under obliga tion; to) the rest of the world to estab lish and maintain on the island a safe end stable government. The real prob lem ia how to do both of these things. Pittsburg I)isiatch: The tspeek of in terna rional huff which has developed be tween the Kansas legislature and the otirt of King Kdward VII is interest ing and not altogether without instruc tion. To the resolutions of that body conveying condolence and congratula tion an answer came back expressing the royal thanks for the "loyalty and sympathy" expressed. When this was discovered the Kansas lawmakers made decided protest and expunged the at -swer from the journal. It can be assum ed that there was no intention on the part of the Knglish court to assert that the "loyalty" to the new king reaches c ut into Kansas. Undoubtedly the royal secretary or the royal secretary's assist ant, or the royal assistant secretary's clerk grabbed the printed form prepar ed for replies to resolutions from colon l il legislatures and mailed It to Topek. 3 1 is possible that the functionary sup posed Kansas to be some back province r f Australia or British America. But at r'.l events the hasty use cf the blank is food and sufficient explanation cf the somewhat startling term. It was perti-r-ent for the Kansas legislature to dis claim loyalty to the British throne. That Paving been done it is also pertinent for i-tate legislatures to stop and consider whether correspondence with foreign rnonarchs ia any part of their constitu tional duty. 3TRAYES3 VERSUS HATCHETS. t From 'the St. Paul Globe. In the temperance crusade of the m'omen of America against the saloon opened with prayer and song. From Hi'.lsboro. O., a small town 60 miles from Cincinnati, the women's crusade extend ed over all Ohio and thence into In diana. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Min nesota, westward, and into Pennsylva nia and New York, eastward. Prayer, song, persuasion and the pledge were the weapons of the Carrie Nations of arid the several years following. There were tears in place of hatchets; moral suasion instead of force. The women's crusade of the seventies doubtless accomplished some good. It was a good thing for many husbands, sons and fathers. It is said to have converted one or two saloonkeepers, who y-ere persuaded, while the spirit moved them, to pile their bar fixtures and leer kegs in the street and make a bori f re with which to light the prayers of the crusaders on the wings of night iavTOwiri For the most part, how ever, the crusade of prayer and song was ineffectual as regards tangible i sults. It assisted In launching tha Pro hibition party, and in causing a number of states to legislate for the restriction of the liquor traffic But the reaction of the past dozen years has carried the country, so far ad the popularity of the liquor business ia concerned, and the use of liquor both at the bar and in the family cupboard, to a point of greater friendship with "King Rum" so-called, than was the case thirty years ago. At any rate, the consumption of liquor in the United States both in volume and per capita has vastly increased. What prayer and song failed to do in 1874, Carrie Nation and the women of Kansas are endeavoring to do with rocks, hatchets, and clubs. Will they succeed? Thev have demolished a num ber of saloons. Will the saloons stay demolished after the hatchets are buried One factor In favor cf the women cru saders is the law of Kansas, which de prives the. saloonkeeper of a day in court and makes his business a crime. If ths husbands of Kansas come to the rescue of their crusading wives and in sist upon, the enforcement of the laws, it may be that the hatchet crusade of 1901 -will accomplish more definite re sults than the prayer crusade of 1874. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A love affair is the only thing that will open some men's pocket books. The friends who have something dis agreeable to say to you always find time to call. If a woman has absolute faith in her husband, it ia a great eomplimeat to his powers of concealment. Things even themselves up:' When the grocery bill is small, it means that the drygooda bill will be larger than usual. Some persons think a furnace is the hardest thing in the world to yegulate, but that is because they have forgotten their lava affairs. The woman who went off on a mad scramble for the Holy Grail wasn't so bad after all; as a choice betwean the two evils, the Holy Grail ia better than the hatchet. What has become of the old fash ioned woman who would as soon go to church without her bonnet, as to go to see a sick neighbor without taking something to eat? It has been decided by Mothers' Unions that the children should be waited upon at the table fi;st, and an Atchison woman who reads all the rules of Mothers' Union, is following tha plan. They have seven children, and her husband has been compelled to go to work without breakfast and din ner every day for a week. It took all his time to serve the children. io i inc pie make great sacrifices by giving up ..i: e T n.hinV. ti rti.ln'f t-onteLiiios iui iin u... j n-,,,v, u n Another fav- IttVB C1 J aitf j r tVie T .ort IS Ulur nttj ot uMiiis ft. j to cut down the washerwoman's wages, haggle with a dressmaker, and extort money from those who need it, in order to have a big Lenten sum to put on the altar at Kaster. POINTED PAKAOEAPHS. From the Chicago News. Next to a kindly act ia the apprecia tion thereof. Tha best antidote for Borrow Is steady employment. The world deals good-naturedly; with the good-natured person. It pays some men to be honest, be cause they have less competition. Some people are never more serious than when they try to act funny. The man who never looks up is a rank failure when it comes to lifting up. The average woman would rather have a little Cattery than a lot of sympathy. What the average man needs Is some body who will make him do the best he can. Diplomacy is the art of getting what you want by pretending you don't want persons speak one to an other; uncharitable persons ppeak one cf another. If loss of sleep means loss of beauty the average man must be troubled with insomnia. Beauty may be only skin deep, but it is difficult to convince a pretty girl that such is the case. Lots of women will give up easy Jobs and good salaries for the sake of work ing all the rest of their lives for their board and clothes. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Even a square man can be cornered. Ministers marry people at union rates. Home talent is often the kind we can't drive away. She "You are the last man in the world I would marry." He "I hope so." A truthful Tioga swain fcas admitted to his inamorata that she is one of the only girls be ever loved. Every time a girl lias her picture taken she pretends that it's only because all her friends want one. Nell "Maude has a great deal of taste in dress." Belle "Yes; and she wears such lovely complexions." Many a man who has traveled all over the world hesitates about going in to a department store without a guide. Slllicns "Do you believe that some men were born to command?" Cynicus "Xes; but some of them get married." "When pay day comes around," says the Manayunk Philosopher, "the hand that rocks the cradle is tiie band that gets the rocks." Wigg "I understand you are related to that pretty woman over in the cor ner." Wagg "Only by marriage." Wigg "Who ia she?" Wagg "My wife." Borrowell "Hello, Bjones; lend me five dollars, will you?" BJones "Can't do it, old man. I just this minute loaned my last five to Harduppe." Borrowell "Which way did he go?" Biobbs "Did you ever notice that when a man loses his money it seems to change his wholeappearance?" Slobbs "Yes. indeed. Even his old friends very often are unable so recognize him." Wigwag "That's a remarkably healthy baby of yours." Toungpcp "Yes: we are raising it on the advice plan." Wigwag "What's that Young pop "Weli, we ask tae advice of all our friends, and then do Just the oppo site. The Jailor must expect to have felons on nis 'lianas. Before the fair maiden he dropped on his knee; She treated him like a Turk. For she was a damsel of high degree. And he was a shoe store clerk. JAYHAWKEE J0T& Among other Augusta wants is a bakery. Wichita small boys annoy the police by jumping on passing street cars. Mound City has the distinction of toe ing the best mule market in eastern Kansas. Alfalfa fields are blamed for the dry ing up of Sheridan county ponds and streams. The street lights of Herndon consist of two livery stable lamps and the friendly moon. Society is very quiet at Sedan,' an nounces a local paper, as the revival and the auction have both closed. Two or three wagon loads of jack rabbits on the streets of St. John, at a time is no uncommon sight. An ingenious Osborne county youth glided to and from school the past week on a pair of Alaskan snow shoes. The Kansas jointists have decided unanimously, aa a Lenten sacrifice, to abstain from selling liquor for the next forty days. Dead on his own doorstep in Lincoln county was found Craig Buster, for years a slave in the family of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee. By a slip John Jones, of Great Bend, fell twice within four months and each time broke his clavicle. Really, it would be asking too much to have Mr. Jones do this on purpose. After paying costs and fines for using railroad ties for fuel, certain Kinsley citizens have decided that it is cheaper to buy coal, and have promised the au thorities to do so hereafter. An indignant subscriber hurled the following by special delivery to the Wa thena Republican: "Please stop send ing me your paper, aa I have not re ceived a copy since last November." The greatest ride made since the days of John Gilpin happened in Butler county when angry Potwin citizens told a traveling whisky solicitor to disap pear. They are talking about the fast time yet at the corner grocery. The laugh is on Ellinwood. A v.-ild bull charged down the main street and every man fled to a. place of refuge, leav ing the women and children to care for themselves. The next day a timid jack rabbit went leaping down the same street and the men valiantly chased the beast four miles out into the hills. The El Dorado Republican says that a janitor at the state house fell into the Kaw river Monday and two men who saw it, instead of helping him rushed to the governor to get his job. They were told that they were too late, another man having telephoned for the job. And after all the man wasn't drowned. NOT SO II I C II. Queen Victoria's Private Fortune Dwindles to $3,000,000. New York, Feb. 21. A Herald dispatch from London says: Since the death of the queen specula tion has been busy guessing at the amount of the private fortune her maj esty left. The fact that the royal will is not to go through the ordinary chan nel for probate iias given rise to many absurd statements as to the fabulous amounts bequeathed to royal relatives. It has even betn stated that the reason for concealment was the fear that the disclosure of such enormous savings would prejudice the civil list for the future. It can now be stated cn absolutely reliable authority that the gross amount of her majesty's private fortune, includ ing Investments in real estate, cash in baik, and personal property outside of what rightfully belonged to the crown, w ill not exceed $3,000,000. The bulk of this consists of city property in which her majesty had quietly invested. The remainder stands in the shape of the cash balance on her personal account in Coutts' bank. In her investments in freehold prop erty the queen usuajly acted on the ad vice of Viscount Cross, with whose abil ity as a man of affairs she first became acquainted when as plain Mr. Cross he was a member of Disraeli's cabinet. Tt I queen's interest in her personal business was anything but perfunctory. The charac ter of the property in which her advisers suggested investment, its con dition, occupancy and prospective value were all searchingly discussed before she would give her sanction for the amount to be withdrawn from her private bank ing account. On the other hand she was most careful to insist that the revenues so derived should be kept apart from the privy pur?e or other semi-state funds. Her private banking account with Coutts' bank stood in the name of her personal treasurer. Sir Fleetwood Ed wards. At regular Intervals there was a rigid inspection of her bank book, with the checks drawn. It was by no means an uncommon occurrence for particular items to be questioned, where the reason for the draft did not appear on the sur face, or had escaped the queen's mem ory.. In this as in everything else the late queen was a. thorough business woman. Most of the small checks remitted by her treasurer to private individuals (and these were in great number during the war) were drawn from this account. Besides these, the number of calls on the private generosity of the queen was very considerable. Of the details as to the disposition of her majesty's private fortune, nothing could be learned. The total amount is so much less than had been generally supposed that it is considered that the natural desire for privacy on such a. matter ought to be respected. COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS The present tour of Madame Modjeska is said to be the most prosperous since her association with Edwin Booth. It has been her intention to make a tour of Europe and Australia after this sea son, and therefore the likelihood of this being her farewell In America has no doubt contributed in adding interest to her appearances in every city thus far visited. Her repertoire is both brilliant and varied and in addition to those plays with which ?ter name and fame are so closely identified, she has added Shake speare's unfamiliar tragedy of "King John." Except in those places where she has made annual visits for many succeeding seasons, the public has in variably wished to see'her. however, in her more celebrated portrayals. As Lady Macbeth, no one in hr time has approached her, and "Alary Stuart" has an association for Medjeska not les pronounced than has "Rip Van Winkle" for Joseph Jefferson. She will be sur rounded by a company comprising the best talent' the legitimate stage afford, the most prominent people being R. D. Mac-Lean and Odette Tyler, whose wortn. both as players and stars, has long been established. "Mary Stuart" will be given at the matinee performance and King John" at night, I. A. It. STATE KEGENTS.

Washington, Feb. 21. During the dis cussion in the house on the question of hazing Mr. Hepburn created a sensa tion by declaring that the large number of desertions from the army and the lack of iien in the navy weie due to the fact that American citizens refuse to serve under men schooled in tyranny and oppression. Mr. Hepburn said he had a list of twenty-five vessels of the United States wrecked by incompetent officeis since the close of the civil war. He declared that the officers stood by each other and with but a solitary exception the com manders of these vessels were let off with slight punishment. He denounced hazing in unmeasured terms and said he wanted to see a fixed and certain punishment for it. i STATE KESTS. Defense Attempts to Prove That Moser "Was Insane. Peoria, 111., Feb. 21. The state has rested in the Moser murder case now on trial at Pekin and this afternoon the defense is ottering evidence to show that Moser was insane at the time he killed his wife and three children. The feature of the proceedings this morning w as the attempt on the part of Attorney Green for the defense to question Bene dict Moser, father of the accused, con cerning the new Amish religion. The old man was. placed on the stand to identify his son's handwriting but At torney Green asked him a score of ques tions about the new Amish religion and the relations between the witness and the prisoner at the bar. All these were ruled out, one at a time, but the attor ney continued questioning along the same line until he made a perceptible effect upon the jury. Julia Stoller, a sister of the defend ant's wife was placed on the stand dur ing the morning and wept bitterly dur ing her examination. Moser was affected and tor the first time during the trial gave way to emo tion. He leaned his head on the chair in front of him and sobbed audibly. The general opinion prevails that the defense has made about as much out of the state's case as has the state itself, but some surprises are promised by the attorneys for the prosecution when evi dence is offered in rebutta- HOME RESERVATIONS. Congressman Curtis Would Have Them Ceded Back to States. Washington, Feb. 21. An amendment which was offered to the sundry civil appropriation bill today by Congressman Curtis, of Kansas, provides that the land on which are located the soldiers' homes at Milwaukee, Wis., and Leaven worth, Kas., shall be ceded back to the states in which those homes are located. The amendment provides specifically that nothing in the enactment shall be taken as authority for interference with the management of the homes, but that in other respects the authority of the state shall be recognized In the portion occupied by the tiomes. A Flour Mill Trust York, Pa., Feb. 21. Thirty flour mills, located principally in Pennsylvania and Maryland and having a daily output of 10,000 barrels, have entered into a combi nation which will be known as the East ern Milling and Export company. New tan Jackson of Philadelphia is at the head of the combine with headquarters in that city. The output of the mills will be used ntirely to fill orders for export. Treacherous Foreign Consuls. Manila. Feb. 21. The police of Manila claim to have obtained documentary evi dence which they allege tends to in criminate Francisco Reyes, Italian con sul at Manna, and Manual Peypoch, consul for Uruguay, In aiding the Fili pino insurgents. The evidence has been submitted to General MacArthur. CONSUMPTION is almost as deadly as ever, al though physicians know they can cure it generally, beginning when most of the lungs are still sound, and even some times when a great deal of damage is done. The people don't know it yet. They have been told but they don't believe it; they don't act on it. Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil is one of the .principal means of cure. There are other helps: dry air, sunshine, country, sleep, regular habits, right clothing. STARVED TO DEATH. Parents Deprive Themselves of Food -to Save Children. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 21. Two deaths from starvation were reported here to day. The victims were Mr. and Mrs. John Hoefer, who lived in a Scott street hotel. The couple had sold most of their furniture for a small amount of money, with which they purchased lood and fuel for themselves and two children. When most of the food thus obtained had been eaten it is supposed the par ents deprived themselves in order to save the children, and, being too proud to beg, literally starved to death. When discovered the Hoefers were in a frightfully emaciated condition, and the children sick from the lack of proper nourishment. The parents were taken to a hospital, where both died. Mrs, Hoefer is said to have a wealthy sister, Mrs. Theodore Fohrman, living at 712 North Twelfth street, Phil-, adelphia. It is said that Mrs. Hoefer's last request wan that her sister be asked to care for the children. STRANGE, VERY STRANGE Senate Election Committee Re fuses to Unseat a Popr.llst.

A fish of curious habits exists in New Zealand, and, as it has apparently hith erto escaped the noiice of naturalists, you will, perhaps, admit a brief account of it. The fish is called ,l.y the Maories the kakawai. Its habitat is very ex tensive in the North island, and it may be found cn the Wairarapa plains, the Forty-mile bush, etc. It is generally discovered when a man is digging out rabbits or making post-holes in the summer time, and it lies at a depth of a foot or two feet under the soil. The character of the soil, whether candy or loamy, does not seem to matter. The fish is from two to three inches long, silvery, shaped like a minnow, but rather more slender and tapering.. It appears to be dead when exhumed, and if dug up in the summer and put into water it dies at once. If, however, it Is brought to daylight in May or early June (the end of the autumn), when tlin rains are beginning to make tlie soil thoroughly wet, and put into a tub of water, a curious thing happens. After a day or two it casts ila skin, which sinks to the bottom, and the lish plays about bright and lively. When dug u) in summer there appears to be a growth of skin, or perhaps of a dry, gummy exudation, which seals up the head an I gills. Apparently this enables it to aestivate through the dry weather, and seals the fish us an Indian fakir is scaled up before he goes In for a long fasting burial. Of course. In wint'-r there must be marshy spots or pools In which the fish can swim and propagate, but often all evidence of mi'-h natation disappears in summer, and the hot, dry, waterless plain seems the last place on earth In which to find a fish. When the skin is cast off vivid little spots of red appear on tne body, so that wirac people have said that the fish is a small trout. This is not the case (although they ar now used as bait for trout); the kaka wai was well known to the natives ages before trout were introduced from Kng land; well known, although the name by some chance has hc n missed in making the Maori dictionaries, just as natural ists have missed noticing the fish.

G TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL., THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1901. uE17 BOOK DILL. One Is Finally Keeoninieuded in House. (irattan Bill Passe.1 With Manj Amendments. RETAINS UNIFORMITY. Few Changes From the C1J Text Book Law. laxinium Price Will Kemaia the Same. Sir.ee the house has finished going through' An- tSfaitan t xt book bill with fine tv'h. it is found that there i? t.wi-.puraiiveiy little change from the 1 i ll sr.-; Tii'- maximum price schedule is th; same exactly. Tuesday afternoon's hyht and turning loos of more "hot iiir," p a up-rtt this one point more than any other. .Just before this decision was re ndertd it luck, d as if a. cuniprumibc between fhV' 'two extreme positions of maximum- Mice or no price that would harmonize every element had beers und. This was a proposition by Giessler, of Ijigac, to. i-ut in the old maximum i rices, with a percentage proviso that would "be the same in eiuct as The now piaximum schedule. It would give the -c. mniis.-iiun pimtr to contract for bocks ;.t a limit of T'.a pw cent above the i- licdule. On the whole list of bocks the -xeess could net amount in all to mere than nr. t-?'!ts This would give the tri 1 inc cijs-.ieitv thst the opposition isked i as it mu1! be appu.-d ail to cue Coo;. if ii'-o.di-y. to ir t a good en-. "I his plan looked tine, but tne straight f.it jiff '-pie knocked it flat without much aio and ended the dispute by adopting the eld sch-'riule. Amendments came thick and fast u hen they oi:ce statled down to woik. -omJ were trilling, some were great and some attempted to upset the bill altc ."ther. Some were ineoiporated ai'd S:);iy others were not. Next to the price change the must im portant was the establishment of sup ply agencies at towns of 2o0 inhabitants ct mere, not county seats. Kvcry town i f this size must have an agent accord ing to the amended bill. This is a good pi o vision for the people, relieving them cf trips to the county seat 'to- buy booka. It is a strenuous matter for the contrac ts rJ. bow over. "Th?y did it to us that time." says George W. Crane. "There are hundreds 1: small towns like that in Kansas. Hardly a town but can scare up 2uu pto -I ie. It means that a representative must lie m;'i':tair,ed ii. each ore aril on com missi .n ftt mat. The bill go?s on vith tii. entirely new provision t-ilm,r in iust v. at way these iocai aeents shall remit to the conn actors. Ir means that a big Mock will be reouiied to supply a heud iu titers in eve. v little town and that 2i piesentsa big- investment, besides it is m-t like cash dealing- where you have the Jii ir.ey it. advance, which insures low 1 rices." -What effect will that have or. bids?-' va asked. "The Utile fellows can bid. They may. The bis? fi 'lows w ill not." Another amendment that was offered 1 v I'. F. Tatum anS adopted is designed -.o maintain th? quality of the bookstv.ffs nil the last. A proviso was inserted that .samples of the books must be lodged v'ith the commission for live years so that in later years the new books re triced must be equal in materia.!. Before the house (sot down to work on the bill in earnest the long debate on the maximum price ;u--.siin apparently, but h" w hole book subject in fact, was had. Analyzing the 'opinions" printed ir. ramphiets furnished legislators by both .sides to the book controversy, Ed Me Keever said the teachers and" people of the state seem satisfied with tne law, but J ot with the books. They like uniform ity of prices. "People without responsibility get on the floor of this house "V. ho do you mean by members who hava no responsibility asked James Lawrence, interrupting. "I did not say a member," answered ilcKeever". "Viio do you mean?" "I mean the, 'third house.' if you insist on my being specific. I don't want to be worked and I don't want to see this house worked. Kvery day persons are re re with a- s to grind and I'm not find ing fault. The 'third house' is an estab lished institution, but we do not need to listen to them. "X believe there are those who are v irking their influence on this house who are being paid for it. Not members tut if the members are swayed bv these peopi-. it is the members who are rd-t-P-..r.sible to the people of Kansas. It is tip to us to save money for cur people. "The trusts won t sell us a text book below a certain price that they have ar bitrarily fixed themse-ves." "Do you know that to be a fact'" ask ed Short of Cloud. "I do!" emphatically replied JIcKeev rr. "Shall we say 'please, trusts.come herj und sell us books at yom own price be said, "and force th" country districts to buy high priced books, because city people want them. W; will rob the peo ple of thousands of hard-earned dollars it we a1 low the trust to gain the upper band. Let us protect tne little red school lieuses." liooley. of Montgomery, next took up for the opposition. He said the school i.'ook commissi xiers' hands were tied by law. and can't reach cut and get a good book, because the book company, says can't sell that bocK for a pauper price." In other words, the state of Kansas Is try is to dictate to business I sen what pr'ce they can sell their goods lor. "Let us have uniformity, but let i;s have good books Dooley scored McKeever on the old cry of Topeka wants everything. "It" I were represent ing fhawnee county I would be like the gentleman. Limitations en things i vvoiUd ask for would te unlimited. As it is. there are other things that are good besides his." UcKeever tilted back. He said Crane J-ad r.ever given-him anything- but a I'rentis history. "I have refused to ad- Saflerers from Dy spepsia, Biliousness, Flatulency, or auy form of stomach disor der should try the Bilters, If they would be cured. It also forctflos the sys tem against at tacks of Ladrippe and Halarla Fever and Ague. CTCMACH g CELEBRATED XS ..rir,,,,!Vn.1 Jt' V vocate things that George W. Crane wants," he said. When his turn came James Lawrence said something about the "influences" that had been at work: "The only lobbyist I have seen on this floor is the state superintendent, who ought to be in bis office attending to his business, and George W. Crane. I have found the two Kissers in the woodpile. The first is that the Populists know they fell down on their miserable law and put their feet in it. They want to give us rope to hang ourselves and continue to foist a miserable law and wretched bocks upon the good people of Kansas. The otner is that Topeka man w ill re ceive Ei'eater profit for his New Jersey co'-poration than he is row receiving." 1'r. OTJonnell, of Klls'orth, said: "This was the one law of their bygone days of power that my friends on my riRht may pride themselves on." Dr. OTJcnne-Il said he had beeri "ap- iirfi.ir-Viol" bv rr.ail. hv an educator that j he respected ai.-J whose advice he would t take, and suppor t the bill. After the hard work was all done J. R. Adams, of I.utler, made a talk charg- ing ti:at the retaining of the exchange feature w uld resuit in the keeping of j every book that is now in use. even to j the ultra -offensive "rebel hisory." He artrued that ne contractor would take the.' histories in exchange as rtpresent i ins "ii cents when there was no sale for i them elsewhere, as the law compels them to do. The result would be that i a new histerv by them furnished would I give them "but '.'5 cents pay for it. Thus would prices be cut in half and the re sult in operation would be that the pres ent books stay in tout. Crosby, of Cheyenne, argued that this bill was so little different from the '97 law that it was folly to go to the ex pense and trouble cf changing. He moved to strike out the enacting clause. Rut this lost bv an overwhelming stand ing vote. Much a mere handful voted toTkill the bill that the numbers are not a matter of record. Chairman Mason, of Finnev, called the motion lost with out stopping to count the many who rose on the negative of the particular question. The bill was then recommend ed for passage.

The announcement in last night's Journal that Henry Allen had resigned as private secretary to Governor Stan ley and had been appointed on the state board of charities was a surprise to most of the politicians. Mr. Allen will succeed Grant Hornaday on the board of charities. Mr. Hornaday having re signed because he could not attend to his private business and to" the business of the board and do justice to both. Mr. Allen resigns as private secretary be cause he can not be private secretary and the editor of a newspaper at one and the same time and give as much at tention to the newspaper as he thinks he shoultl. He thinks he can attend to the paper and the state beard of chari ties at the same time and so the gover nor put him in the place made vacant by Grant Hornaday's resignation. One man resigns because he can not give the state good service and at the same time attend to his business and the oth er takes the Job because he thinks he can. There is now a lot of guessing as to who will succeed Henry Allen as private secretary. The governor reiuses to say who he will appoint but he has probably made up his mind for he has known for some time that Mr. Allen would re sign. Two guesses which have been made by the politicians are Luther Burns, the present executive clerk, and John Simmons, at present superintend ent of the reformatory at Hutchinson. Both are good men and both have friends who are urging the governor to appoint them. Other appointments announced are as follows: Regents Kansas university Scott Hopkins, Brown county; T. M. Potter, Marion county; W. C. Spangler, Doug las county; E. L. Ackley, Cloud county. Members of the state board of educa tion A. H. Bushey, Marion; W. M. Massey, Sumner; J. D. S. B-iggs, Frank lin.

A FARMER'S WIFE Finds a Food That the Children and Grown Folks Thrive Upon. Mrs. Sarah Lessinger, near Stuart, Nob., says: "My little girl eight years old. iiaa always been a delicate, child, and has not been able to stay in school long at a time, for she often fainted and was weak and puny, until last Feb ruary she had a sick spell, and I began feeding her on Grape-Nuts food. "I can truthfully say the result has far exceeded my expectations. She is now hearty, w ed, and can run and play as other children do. I am trying an experiment this summer on leaving out meat altogether for breakfast and using Grape-Nuts food instead. Thus far we have all been unusually well, and my men folks (we are farmers) say that they do not get hungry so quick when they use Grape-Nuts food as they used to when they had meat." It is a profound fact that Grape-Nuts food "will furnish more nourishment to the system than bread or meat. Any one can prove the truth of this state ment by trial. ETKENZIE IS CHOPPED. B. J.

Princeton Senior Dismissed From TJniyersity in Dissrrace. Princeton, K. J., Feb. 21. George W. Kehr, of Harrisburg, a senior at Prince ton, to wham the MacLean prize of $100 was awarded in the junior oratorical contests last June, has confessed to the charge of plagiarism and has been dis missed from the university. Although the prize was awarded to Kehr on last commencement, it was not until the Nassau Literary Magazine, ac cording to a regular custom, had pub lished his oration, entitled "An Ideal of American History," that the fraud was discovered. The Lafayette Touchstone called attention to the fact that the same oration had appeared in the Mer cury, the literary journal of the Penn sylvania college in Gettysburg, Pa., un der the caption "Abraham Lincoln," and over the signature of Frank P. Heilman. RalpTi P. Swofford, editor of the Prince teen publication, immediately asked the Pennsylvania college editor for an expla nation. The editor of the Mercury re printed the two speeches !n parallel col umns together with the following state ment from Mr. Heilman: "On March 9, 1900, I delivered the ora tion at Collegeville before the Pennsyl vania Intercollegiate union. On March 19 I returned to Gettysburg from the Glee club trip and found awaiting me a letter from Princeton, written by a '97 alumnus of the Harrisburg high school, whose classmate T had been for nine months The author asked me to send copy of my oration for a few hints and ideas, as the '97 alumnus was pre paring an oration soon to be delivered. I sent a copy of the oration to Princeton on March 20 or 21. I handed the ora tion to Dr. Himes, in competition for the Geis prize, and have not seen the manuscript since." When confronted with these facts Kehr confessed. The Nassau Literary Magazine today contains the following communication from Kehr: "A great injustice has been done by me to Mr. Heilman. of Gettysburg, the university, my class, especially those who took part in the oratorical contest last June, and all who are proud of be longing to an institution where the prin ciples of true "hristian manhood are taught. I want to frankly confess the gross plagiarism of which T am guilty and remove any censure that may be brought upon your magazine, for upon me alone devolves the blame." In June the degree of Bachelor of Arts .would have been conferred upon Kehr. He stood well in his class, had taken some part in the literary life at Princeton, and, so far as can be ascer tained, was regarded as a student of strict integrity. SLATER If ATCHISON. Denies His Guilt to the Officers There. Kansas City, Feb. 21. A Star special from Atchison, Kan., says'. "Slick" Sla ter, the man charged with assaulting a young girl at Topeka and who was yes terday hurried away from that place to prevent his being lynched is in the coun ty jail here. Slater denied his guilt toelay saying he would prove an alibi If given a chance. Slater is said to have practical ly admitted his guilt while en rfjute here with the officers, saying that if he wore allowed to stand trial at Atchison he would plead guilty. Today he asserted that he hael agree to plead guilty be cause he feared being burned at the stake at Topeka, and that he preferred to spend a sentence in the state peniten tiary than to take the chances of losing his life at the hands of a mob. BRITISH ARRAIGNED. Fearful Charges Hurled atThem by Steyn and DeWet. Port Elizabeth. Wednesday, Feb. 20. The following proclamation has been issued by President Steyn and General De Wet: "Be it well known that the war which has been forced on the Transvaal re publics by the British government still rages over South Africa, that all the customs of civilized warfare and also the conventions of Geneva and The Hague are not observed by the enemy who have not scrupled in violation of the Geneva convention to capture doc tors and ambulances and to deport them to prevent our wounded from getting medical assistance. That they have seized ambulance material appertaining thereto; that they do not hesitate to have recourse to primitive rules of war fare, contrary to the solemn agreement of The Hague to arrest neutrals and de port them and to send out marauding bands to plunder, burn -and damage burghers' private property; that they have armed Kaffirs and ratlvea and used them against us in the war; that tnev have been continually capturing women and children and old and sickly- men and that there have been many deaths among the women because the so-called Christian enemy had no con sideration for women on a sick bed or those whose state of health should have protected them against rou&h treatment. Honorable women and tender children have not only been treated roughly but have been insulted by soldiers, by order NOTHING EQUALS IT For the Cure of Catarrh. A physician now retired from practice, but who still keeps abreast of the times, in speaking of the advance made in medicine in the last ten years says: "One of the most obstinate and battling dis eases is the very common trouble, ca tarrh. Nasal catarrh is only one of its many brans; catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the stomach, bowels, liver and bladder are very common but the sufferer usual ly thinks it is something else than ca tarrh and is treated for the wrong dis ease. The best and most successful treat ment for any form of catarrh is now admitted to be by internal remedies through the stomach and the safest and probably the; most efficient is in the tablet form. sold by druggists as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. I have seen many remarkable cures of catarrh resulting from regular daily use of these tablets, which seem to act on the blood and liver, driving the catarrhal poison out of the system through the natural channels. I once had occasion to analyze these tablets and found them to contain no cocaine nor opiates, but simply a com bination of harmless antiseptics like Eucaiyptal, Guaiacol, blood root, etc. At any rate I have known of severe catarrhal headaches, which were cured by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and ca tarrhal deafness, hay fever, asthma and eatarrhof the throat ana stomach speed ily show great benefit after a few days' use of the remedy and when it is re membered how much more convenient a tablet is than inhalers, douches, salves and powders it is not surprising that this new preparation should so rapidly supplant all other remedies for catarrh. of their officers. Moreover, our women have been assaulted, even w ives and chil dren and the property of prisoners of war, even killed burghers have not been respected. In many instances the mother and father have been taken from the house has been left unprotected and all have been left to their fate an easy prey to savages." CELEBRATED BY ELOPING. Late Gen. Palmer's Grandson Returns With Bride and Beg3 Forgiveness. Chicago, Feb. 21. Robertson Palmer, son of former Corporation Counsel John Mayo Palmar and grandson of the late Gen. John M.

The whole crest of a mountain over a mile in cir cumfe.ence slipfied int fjouhborouh inlet, li.if. miles from Vancouver up the rocky Pi'itish Columbia coast, last Sat urday. The sit at slide was the result f an ea rth n'.ake. which shook the sur rindin district for several se-ontls, and the rosultiTi-? shot I: of the falling roo 11 tain top was apparent for a ions dis tance. At this part of the coast the mountains rise ainnsi pt rpendieuiarly out of the water for Ton or s.io feet. The mountain which fell was com posed of a trreat crat; which overhung the shire. And a threat slice ttf it siieaie I off into the bay. The break extend:' 1 back f.uO yards from the shore, tliant trees and rocks were swept away as if they had been toothpicks.

Property Worth $836,562 at Assign ment Only Pays Creditors $700. New York, Feb. 21. Of property worth $S3,S62. which Uenj. Hitchcock, a music dealer of this city, had when he as signed in 1S93, it is sai.l that only about $7iXi is left for distribution among the preferred creditors. Lawyer Harold Swain, couns d for parr? of t?;o preferred creditors, in an arrioavit says tt.at the original assign?", Fred Silver.'tor.e in his iiral accounting, January,' l'.'T. claimed credits of 46. and turned over J:!.t:'.4 to Mr. Pratt, his successor. Mr. Swain alltpes that of the larire sum said to have been dis bursed y Silyerstor.e. not one cent was paid tc, ilitt hctx-k's creditors, and that the second nssisnee has used up nearly ail of the small temainder cf the es tate in lesal expenses. Hitchcock in addition to his music business was a real estate speculator on a larfre scale. He had many ambitious schemes, one of which was laying: (-ut of a model city in Ceorcia. After his failure many persons who had pur chased property from him found that it was covered bv blanket mortsases. Litigation and the foreclosure of mottitafS caused the Rreat shrinkage of the estate while It was in Silverstone's hands. "0T IN THE MARKET. Report That Cljina is Seeking a Loan is Unfounded.

Gift of $4,000 to iteirs of Mob's Vic tims Closes Incident Washington, D. C, Feb. 21 What ca're rear causirg a rupture between the United States and Italy, namely, the lynching of two Italian tubiects at Tal lulah, La., on July 20. 1!9, will soon oe a closed incident. In the general de ficit ncy bill there is an it'jm appropriat ing $4.ne0 to be paid out cf humane con sideration, Vithout reference to the ques tion c.f liability, to the Italian govern ment as full indemnity to the heirs cf Joseph Defatta and John Cerano, who were lynched two years ago. It will be recalled that the Italian gov ernment was somewhat agitated over the lynching of these two men. and sent a special agert to Louisiana to investi gate the matter. The U lited States gov finment did everything in its power to brira; to punishment those participatlna; in -The lynching, but, of .course, it could do little in this direction, as it was a matter with which the state of Louisi ana and not the United States must deal. Onin? to the inability c.f the general government to adjust cases o" this kind an unsuccessful attempt was made to secure legislation which would permit foreign residents whose property should be destroyed by a mob, and the heirs of those who were killed, the right to take thPir cases into the United States courts. It will be roticed that the proposed law carefully eua"ds aeainst admitting the liability of the United States foi' damages in the Louisiana lynching, as it has in a number rf similar instances. This indemnity to the families of the men who were lynched is a gratuity, pure and simple, and is paid out of hu mane considerations. Gives $60,000 to a School. Pittsburg. Pa., Feb. .21 Mts. Wm.

United States rvr.sml Winter, at Anneburs. Germany, l-.as transmitted to the state department a translation of an article which re- at!y appeared in a German publica tion hearing upon Russian-American trade and the exportation of American machinery to Russia in particular. The article says: "The increase in the trade of the TJnit eJ States with Russia is noticeable. This is due to the cordial relations which exist between these two countries and t the less friendly attitude of Russian merchant towards the manufactures of other countries. The greater part of the .nir-rs for the Siberian railway has l-.-en placed in the United States. An nher large order amounting to $595,000 i'i value has just been placed in Amer ica for machinery to cut a tunnel of si bout one and one-half mile? in length T..t far from Charbin in Manchuria.

Dr Smith says: "Trie officers of the board axe perfectly clear that the error in the original newspaper dispatch which accused Ament of collecting thir teen times the amount of losses arose from the omission of the fractional line in 1-3, making it 13. From Dr. Ament's letter, publishel yesterday, it appears that the living Christian Chinese have had all their losses made good and the damages of which one-third have been collected for support of widows and orphans represent the losses of the Chi nese converts who were slain, the church purposes' referred to being iden tical with 'supporting widows and or phans." t TEDDY III CHICAGO. The Colonel Leaves at 2 O'clock For His Ilome. Chicago, Feb. 21. Col.Theodore Roose velt, apparently enjoying the best of health, arrived here at 7:45 a. m. today in a special car attached to the San Francisco and Portland express limited of the Chicago Greatwestern railroad. He greeted the newspaper reporters briskly and then hurried to a carriage which was waiting for him. He was driven to the Auditorium annex where he took breakfast. The trip from Colorado Springs, he said, had been without incident. While the rough rider colonel was dining at the hotel his private car was witched to the Lake Shore depot to be attached tos the fast mail leaving at 2 p. m. WANTS A REVISION. Li Hung Chang Thinks the Decalogue la Imperfect. New Tork, Feb. 21. J. Martin Miller of this city, who has Just prrived. hav ing reached Kngland from China, by way of Ceylon, said in an interview: I attended two sales of loot in the boxers' palace which the Rev. Dr. Ament occupied in Pekin. after the relief by the allies. Dr. Ament took possession of the treasures which he found there, held sales and kept account of the proceeds crediting them against the claims which he makes for mission property destroyed. Much ci' the loot was bought by an American speculator of Shanghai. "I had an interview with Li Hung Chang, which indicated that he was pre paring to offset the claims of the pow ers for indemnity by giving an account of the loot taking. His excellency was in very good humor. 'I have just had the Christian com mandments read to me," he said through his interpreter, "and I think they need revising. The eighth commandment should be made to read: 'Thou :ihalt not steal, but thou mayst loot.' "It has been said that your excellency is favoring Russia in the negotiations because you have an understanding with that country and are to be the governor of Manchuria," I suggested. "I am simply grateful Lo Russia for having withdrawn her troops," his excel lency replied. Speaking of his visit to Ceylon, Mr. Miller said: "Up in the hills at an elevation of 3.500 feet In a delightful ciimate and in a fine sanitary situacion I saw the en campment where 4,700 Boer prisoners were confined within a series of high barbed wire fences. "There were two or three hundred Americans among them and those I talked with seemed to owe their plight to having gone to South Africa rather from a love of adventure than from any sympathy with the Boer cause. They have a good deal of liberty. "There does not appear to be any great desire among the Boers for the war to end, so that they can go home, and they appear to be fairly contented. Boer officers are at liberty, being re quired only to report themselves twice a week." i JOCKEYS FOR ENGLAND. Danny Maher "Will Bide For Loril lard at Salary of $10,000. New Tork, Feb. 21.

Chairman Grattan, of the education committee, who drew the school text book bill when asked if the present status of it, amended out of all recogni tion to its original self, was satisfactory replied:, "It is better than nothing 'and better than the old law." As to the point made in debate by Crosby, of Cheyenne, that if this bill failed of enactment the Populist law of 1S97 would stand, Grattan said the book trust would be pleased to see Crosby's contention accepted and no new law be enacted this term. Mr. Grattan said: 'The 1S07 act made the term of the commission 4 years from April, S9T, and says 'at the expiration of w hich time the powers and duties of tills commis sion shall cease." It. also provides that the lite of a contract made by this com mission shall be five years from the date thereof. The act providing penal ties for its violation says in substance that any member of the commission herein established violating any of the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined and forfeit his office. '"At the special session of ISliS a law was passed to the effect that the term of office of such commission shall be four years from April, '97, and at the expiration of their term of office and each succeeding term the governor shall appoint suitable persons as members. It also provides that at the expiration of any contract the commission shall make new contracts. The above is the sub stance of the '97 and 'SS law. "The constitution says that no law shall be revived or amended unless the new act contains the entire act revived, or the. section or sections amended and the section or sections so amended be repealed. "On the above law my judgment is that the act of 1S97 has not been revived and amended as the constitution de clares shall be done. Hence the Grattan bill sought to cover the entire law by re enacting it that the crimes act part thereof as well as all otheis of its pro visions should be valid beyond any question. My fear is that the old law is not legally extended so that the courts would uphold it, and if not upheld uni formity would end September 1, 1902, the time of the expiration of present contracts and this is exactly what the enemies of state uniformity would be pleased to see brought about." An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Strip of Figs, manufactured by the California Fis Syktjp Co., illustrate the value of obtaining-the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them it- the form most refreshing- to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening- laxa tive, cleansing- the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling-one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionaWe quality and sub stance, and its acting- on the kidneys, liver and boweis, without weakenfng or irritating: them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing1 fig's are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fis Sybtjp Co. only.

New York. Feb. 21. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the arctic explorer, has just re turned on the Oceanic from a visit to Belgium. In Brussels he attended a meeting of more than a hundred scien tists interested in the recent Belgian ex pedition toward the north pole. Ail of them contributed something for report of the venture being published by the Belgian government. This report said the explorer, is the official record of the expedition, the story of which has al ready been published. One of them con tributed contains a vocabulary of 30,000 words of the Yahgan language, the tongue of the inhabitants of Terra del Fuego. Three antarctic expeditions are now being fitted out on the other side. The one from England will start in August, going south of Australia, and the Ger man explorers are to start at about the same time. The Swedish expedition will leave that country later. Dr. Cook is not going with any of them. He has been exploring for years, and now means to rest. Dr. Cook said that the Belgian gov ernment would present 30 sets of the report to various institutions in this country, among them Harvard and Yale. Another passenger on the Oceanic was J. A. Farquhar. of Halifax, the owner of tne steamship Newfoundland, which was captured by the Mayflower during the war with Spain, then hauled into Charleston harbor, condemned and finally released. Still another passenger was Corporal Cronyin, iate of Strath eona's horse. 5500,000 FIRE Started in Atlanta by Explosion of Oil Tank. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21.

Government Will Establish Several in Near Future. New York, Fib. 21. According to a Washington special to the Herald. Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of equipment, has postponed his plans for the establishment of new coaling stations immediately after the appropriation au thorized in the pending naval appropria tion act becomes' available Seven hundred thousand dollars will be appropriated. A part of this likely will be applied to the improvement of Amer ican coaling facilities in Cuba. Rear Ad miral Bradford also has in mind the lo cation of a station in Chiriqui lagoon, Colombia. He has approved the plans for stations at Narragansett bnv and at Ma nila. He also desires to establish s.ations at San Diego, Cat: Sitka. Alaska' Una la.ska and one in JPorto KIcan wa'ers or at St. Thomas. The department seems to have given up all intention of establishing a station on the coast of Liberia because of the ab sence of a convenient harbor in those waters. Rear Admiral Bradford recently called attention to the necessity of the navy establishing more coaling stations. AFTElt HENDERSON. Speaker is Severely Criticised in a G. A. It. .Meeting New York, Feb. 21. A meeting of "The War Veterans and Sons association"was held last night in Brooklyn at which Gen. Geo. B. Loud, department inspector of the state spoke on "Washington." In introducing Gen. Loud Joseph W. Kav, chairman of the committee on legisla tion of the Grand Army took occasion to speak on the question of preference of members of the G. A. R. for minor posi tions in the employ of the government Mr. Kay said that it was a sad com mentary on the name and fame of Washington himself the synonym of Justice that congress should, during 35 years following the civil war have been appealed to ever in vain to give a rea sonable preference in the minor positions in the public service, to veterans of the greatest war of history. Mr. Kay sain- "This rang injustice, emphacised and conveyed in the flat footed refusal on the 11th of this month, by the speaker of the house of representatives to, in th exercise of his discretion, permit the house to give one hour to a proper con sideration of this subject before the final adjournment of the Fifty-sixth congress is almost beyond belief." WIRELESS MESSAGE Successfully Sent to Shore From a Vessel 13 Miles Away. New York, Feb. 21. The steamship Georgice, which arrived last night from Liverpool has on board as passenger a Mr. Shoreman who had charge of the ex periments with wireless telephone on the Georgice off Browhead. Mr. Shoreman said that he sent messages to Browhead from a distance of over 13 miles and re ceived replies but could not receive mes sages further than that owing to the fact that the rolling of the ship some what disarranged his instruments. He does not us the Marconi, but a system invented by Col. Henry Montague Hos ier, secretary of Lloyd, London, and Mr Nevil Maskelyline of the Egyptian hall. Piccadilly, London. The instrument on the vessel was at tached to the metal of the ship and con nected with wires which were atached to fore and aft stays of the steamers. The influence which conveys the message in wirelei-s telegraphy is able to pass read ily through msulars as are in glass but is absorbed to a very great extent by all conductive material, especially by sheet metals.
