WEDNESDAY EVENING, TOPEKA, KANSAS, MARCH C, 1901. WEDNESDAY EVENING, T WO CENTS. LAST EDITION PLAIN FACTS TOLD Truth About Mr. Warner by One Who Knows. Capt. A. M. Fuller Tells Why He J Should be Mayor. 3IRS. L. 0. CASE SPEAKS Hakes a Comparison of the Two Candidates. Takes Hughes 33 Years to Get Uack Up Hill. To the Editor of the State Journal: I have known Mr. Wainer for many years, ami It is because I know that he is a clean, honorable gentleman, a law and order man in the strictest sense, and a good business man, that I am support ing him for mayor. Mr. Warner was born in Wisconsin in 1x56, and his parents moved to Scott county, Iowa, in 15S, where his father enlisted in the army as a riember of company K. Thirteenth Iowa. He marched to the south to fight for the preservation of the union and the main tenance of the laws of his country, and lost his life before Vicksburg. leaving? his wife and family with but little to help them in the battle for existence. In 1ST2 James Warner, then a boy of 16. came to Kansas to mane his own fortune. He went to work for a family named Stroup. near Teeumseh, where he labored faithfully and industriously ELECTION BOOTH THOUGHTS. a Si it At last accounts Jointist Kline Uon of CoL Hughes lor Mayor. None of "CoL" Hughes' "supporters have taken the trouble to look up Mr. Warner's record in the City Council. The supporters of Hughes are already looking for another candidate for Mayor to nominate after the primary. The Wood Brothers still occupy one of "Co!." Hughes' build ings, but of course they are not selling liquor they never did. "You can fool all the people part of the time, and part of the people ail the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time." The Wood Brothers only conducted an "open saloon" in the Hughes building for three months. Now they are running a "restaurant," but they are still in the Hughes block. The law and order cause was betrayed last October. The betrayer was the Hughes organ, which is now trying to force the nomination of a resubmissionist for Mayor. Comment is un necessary. The man in charge at Hughes' headquarters and the secre tary of the Law and Order League is A. D. Bauer. Only a few weeks ago he was an officer of one of the most notorious drink ing clubs in the city. Still the liquor influence is not for Hughes, for he says so. until liTS, when he went to Colorado with the iittie money he had saved, to dig for gold. For live years he braved the hardships of a miner's life, only stopping long enough to come home and provide for the family who had given him a home. He left Colorado in 1SS3 and returned to Topeka with enough money to buy a farm on Mission creek, in Shawnee county. Mr. Warner sold his farm the follow ing year, and went to work for me in Piv implement store at Sixth and liuiney. He was always courteous, faithful and industrious. In 4S5. after having been elected sheriff of this "Ui'ty. I sold my business to him, the firm name being for several years War ner fc disss. My reason for making this statement at this time is to place a worthy young man before the people in a proper light, and I am satisfied that should Mr. Warner be el'-eted mayor of the city of Vopeka he will be as faithful in the-dis- haree of his new trust as he has been in the management of his own business affairs. a. M. FULLER. TAKE HUGHES 35 YEAE3. At End of That Time May Stand With Mr. Warner. An enthusiastic Warner meeting was field last evening at Jordan's hall in Tenntsseetown. Andrew Jordan pre sided and the principal address was mad" by Mrs. L O. Case.the well known woman temperance Utwyer, whr is ex erting such a strong influence for War ner among the Hughes people. Mrs. Case explained that it bad been a hard task for her to take he present t ttiml. She had known Hughes and his relatives lor years, and some of her clearest friends were among the women who are supporting him for mavor "Rut." said she. "a tree s known by lis fruits. You don't expect a peach tree to bear choke cherries nor a choke cherry tree to bear peaches. Mr. War ner is a tempera-ice man and has voted o ail along, whiie Hughes has never claimed to be a temperance man. He Has been going down hill for 3'. vears, and the best he can do it will lake him that long to get back ur to where the ether candidate is now. The only reason the temperanc- people supnon" him is because he has been endorsed by the law and order league. Some of the same people in the State Temperance union meeting here several years ago. when the motion was made In favor of a search and seizure ordinance raised the cry that it would damage th.? partv in terests." And as Mrs. Case explained the measure was defeated She said that this ignorance was our only sin. not knowing that the ouopoit of the law and order league for Hushes had been dictated and rushed through by a few I'.i f! y leaders. Mrs. Case ma some good points on the ground that Hughes shifted all the responsibility upon his wife. "Me is a fine Adam," she continued, "for laying everything' to a woman. I don't believe Hughes can smell the joints run in his own buildings; and if be were elected we wouldn't want a smelling committee. Mrs. Case made a strong plea for tem perance for the sake of the younger gen erations, and believed it would be brought about by supporting Mr. War ner. He had lived here seventeen years and had proven himself a good business man and a pure clear, mar in every re spect. Mrs. Case's speech was delivered in an earnest way that held the complete at tention of the audience. Short speeches were made also by John M.. Wright, Logan Spalding. R F. Knott, Andrew Jordan, W. T. McKnight, K. S. Manson, Jerry White- and Lewis Jackson. At the clo'se the chairman ask ed those who intended to vote for War ner to stand. All of the 125 people pres ent except two stood up. WOODS ARE STILL, THERE. Hughes Had Them Promise to Be Good and They Still Pay Kent If any one doubts that the Wood "Brothers are in Mr. Hughes building- (or his wife's) let them, go to US East Fourth and read the sign on the win dow. It any one doubts that the Wood Brotners are notorious jointists let him go to the police court docket or to tne docket of the district court. If any one doubts that liquor has been sold in the Hughes building since tha temperance mass meeting- and within the last week let him do a little invest igating on his own hook. If Hughes knew the Woods were jointists why did he allow them to go from one of his buildings to another? Was it to deceive the law and order people? A. H. Vance made an "investigation" and found that no liquor is being sold in the Hughes building. Mr. Vance is a consistent prohibitionist and he might not know whisky if he saw It, especial ly if he saw it in a building belonging to the "law and order" candidate for mayor and when that gentleman himself was acting as pilot. Here "are the facts concerning the was still advocating the elec- question of a joint in Hughes building (or his wife's.) William Shaffer moved in July 14. Place raided by officers early in Aug ust. Shaffer driven out by Chief of Po lice Ramsey about September 1. Building rented to William Wood, no torious and well known jointist on Oc tober 23. Fine bar erected and plac conducted as an open saloon on the t-treet floor for three months. Closed by temperance mass meet ing. Wood Brothsrs buy restaurant in Hughes building next door at 118 East Fourth and pay rent on February L'3. Promise not to sell liquor. Discovered that liquor is being sold on tne quiet in the Hughes building. Have the law and order people been fooled by Hughes' effort to shift the re sponsibility After he found (after they had occupied for four months) that the Wood Brothers were notorious jointists why did he again allow- his building s be rented to them? Is Hughes really anxious to prevent the sale of liquor in properly belonging to him or is it only another attempt to tool the lav and or der people into voting for him? MBS. GOODWIN TALKS. Gives the Facts Concerning the Au tmrndale Meeting. Mrs. M. E. Goodwin is incensed at the report printed in the Hughes organ that a woman's meeting in Auburndale on Monday afternoon was broken up be cause some of the women advocated the nomination of Mr. Warner for mayor. Mrs. Croodwin said today: There was no lack of harmony whatever. The meeting was one of the quietest assem blages I ever attended. There were about 45 women there, and only three of them were for Hughes. Wc- discussed the questions calmly and dispassion ately, and there was no excitement, and the meeting did not break up in a row. "The women of Auburndal will bear me out in what I say. and I am sure that such lies will react." Hughes Kaiiy Tonight The Hughes forces will have a rally at the Auditorium tonight. The prin cipal speakers are Rev. J. T. McFar land of the First M. E. church, and Rev. D. M. Fisk of the First Congrega tional church. C. S. Gleed is also on the programme for a short speech. The meeting is the closing one of the Hughes campaign. from Mr. Kimball. To the Editor of the State Journal: Since, and even before, the publication of the letter from Mrs. S. I. Iavis in yesterday's State Journal regarding the late Hughes meeting in the Second Presbyterian church, it has been re ported that I wrote the article to which she objects. "Will you kindly set me Continued on Sixth Page, STUDENTS BEAT! Russian Mounted Police Ki&e Down a Crowd Which Had Assembled to Do Honor to the Memory OF CZAR ALEXANDER II Four Hundred Driven Into a Court Yard. St. Petersburg Horrified at the Unwarranted Conduct. St. Petersburg, March 6. Monday was the fortieth anniversary ofthe emancipa tion of the serfs. The students had been planning for some time to keep the day as a holiday and perhaps make some demonstration but no particular plans were made. At noon a thousand or 1,509 men students and women students gath ered in and around the Ksan cathedral on the Nevsky prospect, where mass for the repose of the soul of Czer Alexander II was being celebrated. After the mass the students began singing and the police gathered in great numbers. The students were surrounded and driven in a crowd toward the city hall not far away and also on the Nevsky prospect. For no special reason the police began beating the students and trampling them under the feet of their horses. The Novsky prospect was filled with spectators. The banks and business houses were nearly all closed with shutters fastened and doors locked. The spectators and the women students screamed with horror but the police kept up their attack on the stuSents un til 400 of the latter were driven into the court yard of the city hall, the others escaping into the crowd. The entire city was horrified by the conduct of the police. The police were warned beforehand and 25 delegates from the various St. Petersburg, higher educational institu tions, were arrested Fridav night for meeting to consider student affairs. It is learned that the arrest of Prof. P. N. Melukoff, the celebrated historian and author of a three volume "History of Russian Literature" and of a "History of the Period of Peter the Great" and editor of the Russian edition of the "Ferman Encyclopedia" who was taken into custody February 11, was for par ticipation in a conference between liberal citizens and 130 students, called to con sider matters relating to student life and start a petition to the czar. The man uscript of this petition was found in Prof. Melukoff's house. Prof. Melukoff was dismissed several years ago from Moscow urtversit for liberalism. He was afterward professor of world's history at Sofia. Recently he returned to St. Petersburg. Sixty-one new arrests were recently made at Kieff. The government has de cided not to make a political affair of the attempt made February 27 by Peter Karpovich upon the life of the minister of public instruction M. Bogoliepoff when Karpovich shot the minister through the neck while the latter was receiving petitions at the ministry of public instruction. Karpovich who was formerly a student at Uorpat university will be tried March 20 by a court repre senting all classes of citizens present. The penalty for his crime will not exceed fifteen years' imprisonment. DUCHESS' COKSETS Will be Sold by Federal Officers in Default of Duty Payments. Cincinnati, March 6. Three pairs of corsets stored away in the basement of the government building will figure as a drawing card for dozens of women at a sale of abandoned goods Marra 6. The corsets were intended for the Ditch ess of Manchester, who is now en route to England. They were made to fit by a fashionable corset-maker in Paris, France. They are of the "finest texture and most delicate tints, while the lace work and embroidery all go to make up what fair women would call "dreams of delight." For some reason the corsets were not accepted nor duty paid by the Duchess. The duty alone would have reached up ward of $12. Notices that tne Duchess' stays had arrived were sent to the Mount Auburn home of Eugene Zim merman, her father, but no attention was paid, and now the federal authori ties will sell them to the highest bidder on March 6. There are in the collection a number of valuable articles, but it is expected that none will command the attention at the sale that the Duchess' corsets will. Blow to Sympathetic Strikes. Washington, March 6. An interesting decision rendered by the supreme court of Germany affecting the right of work men to aid strikers has been reported to the state department by Consul General Guenther at Frankfott. The moldets of an iron foundry were ordered to finish some models which had come from a foundry where a strike was on. The twenty molders refused and quit work. They were discharged without the usual notice and their employer' brought suit for damages. The court rendered judg ment in his favor for 2.043 marks, hold ing the defendants jointly and separate ly liable. The decree was confirmed upon appeal to the supreme court, which held that the defendants had been guilty of breach of contract.- It was held fur ther that the law cannot expect the em ployer to yield to the. unlawful refusal of his employes and that the defendants acted in premeditated concert with a malicious purpose to injure, the plaintiff. Warehouse Law-Sustained. Washington, March 6. In the United States court today an opinion was hand ed down in the case of W. W. Carp ill Co. vs. the State of Minnesota. The case involved the constitutionality of the Minnesota law of 18S5, requiring stor age elevators and warehouses on rail road lines, but not at terminal stations, to take out licenses and also making other regulations concerning such insti tution? The opinion of the court was confined entirely to the one point of the right of the state railroad arid ware house commission to require owners of such warehouses or elevators to take out licenses and it was held that the commission could legitimately exercise that function under the constitution. The opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan. Weather Indications. Chicago, March 6.

The governor, tendered Miller the place ten days ago, and it was generally under stood that he would take it. but when Henry Allen stepped out and Miller did not put in an appearance it became ap parent that Miller was weighing the em barrassment his father might be caused, and he finally gave U up.

Clear Title Cannot be Obtained to Ft. Hays Reservation. HOMESTEADERS THERE How the State Normal School Has Fought Division. Held Out For 20 Years Against Unfriendly Legislation. One of the acts of this legislature was the establishment of a branch state nor mal school at -Fort Hays on the aban doned military reservation. It is true that there is a string to the appropria tion, because it has been discovered that about sixty homesteaders or squatters are located on the reservation, and pro vision has been made that none of the money shall be available until the Unit ed States gives clear title to the grant. It may be that this difficulty will be straightened out, for the people in the western part of the state want the school badly, a.nd will exert every effort to secure it. It is interesting to note that this is the first new normal school legislation that has succeeded in Kansas in a quar ter of a century. Every legislature has had a normal school proposition in some part of the state to fight over, but none could ever get through. Sam Wood did the business in 1876, the session that gained wide celebrity as the "retrenchment and reform" legislature. WTood represented Chase county in the house. There were numbers of the men in the centennial year legislature besides Sam Wood who became big men in the state, and those still living retain prom inence. Dudley Haskell, of Lawrence, was speaker of the house, and some of the members w ere Judge Webb, of La bette; P. I. Bonebrake, of Topeka; W. A. Johnston, now an associate justice of the supreme court; J. R. ITalliwell, of Cherokee; ex-Governor George W. Glick, of Atchison; Judge Stillings. Wr. P. Hackney of Cowley, and Judge Ansel R. Clark. Sam Wood led the famous normal school fight in this legislature, and the result was the saving of $100,000 a year at least to the state ever since. Leaven worth and Concordia were both after normals. The rivalry was hot and the lobbies strong. Sam Wood was on one committee, and one only. It was called the committee on retrenchment and re form. The normal controversy fell into its hands, and when the contention came out of the mill there was nothing left of it. In place of establishing branch schools a reorganization of the Emporia normal school resulted and the legisla ture compelled a normal department to be added to the state university. The work of Sam Wood's retrenchment and reform committee has had the approval of the people, for it has held good for twenty-five years.' GOVERNOR SIGNS BILLS Laughlin's Only Bill Heads the List Other Bills. When the house held its perfunctory session this afternoon, with the speaker and a dozen others, more clerks and members. Governor Stanley sent in a long list of bills with his approval. The one- only and solitary bill that Pete Laughlin, of Muscotah, fathered and had passed headed the list. This act author izes the appointment by the county com missioners in counties of more than 23, 000 population of a poor commissioner. The bill prescribing that butchers must keep a record of cattle slaughtered and also keep the hides for inspection was among the number also. This law is for the benefit of cattlemen in the range country to make cattle-thieving more difficult. Among the other bills were the follow ing: Relating to the organization and reg ulation of fraternal beneficiary societies. Two supplemental acts to the garnish ment law prepared by the house judic iary committee. Reappropriating the $150,000 revolving fund for the penitentiary twine plant. Creating county boards of examiners for teachers. THE JUSTICE BEE.

Mason wants to run for associate justice to succeed Doster. iRs. natioFappeals. Barber County Libel Case Goes to Supreme Court. Mrs. Carrie Nation has appealed to the supreme court from the verdict ren dered against her by a Barber county jury for $1. It was the famous suit in slander pressed by Samuel Griffin, county attorney of Barber county. The libel alleged was the following ut terance by Mrs. Nation: "The county attorney receives $5 per month from each of the saloons of Kiowa as compensation to keep htm from prosecuting them, and I have the names of four good witnesses to prove it; I told him so in his office the other day, and he never denied it." This remark of Mrs. Nation was made in a speech Mrs. Nation made to a crowd on the main street corner in Medicine Lodge. Eight counts of error are made in the petition, setting forth that the court erred in net permitting the introduction of evidence for the de fense, not permitting opening and clos ing of the argument by the defendant, the denial of motion far a new trial. "Davy" Nation, Mrs. Carrie Nation's husband, is one of the attorneys. His name is attached to the writ in con junction with G. M. Martin. The writ was filed last night. It is a bill of exceptions on pure law points, which permits its admission to the supreme court despite the low money damages. But a writ of error can be filed to any verdict as low as one cent, whereas $100 must be the sum involved in an appeal from judgment. DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED.

Some of the Irish members created an exciting scene in the house of commons last night. The services of some of the constables had to be invoked to restore order and to re move some of the belligerent members from the house. They refused to retire to the lobby when Chairman Balfour wished to apply the closure rule. It ended in some of the members being sus pended for a week. After midnight Mr. Balfour applied the closure on the education estimates. The Nationalists shouted "gag" and re fused to leave when the division was taken. The chairman asked them twice to retire to the division lobby, but they shouted "Certainly not!" Mr. Flavin cried: "I protest against the way all Irish votes are closured." The chairman then intimated that he must report the matter to the speaker. In the meantime the other members had returned from the lobbies amid some uproar, thirty or forty Irishmen remain ing in their seats." The speaker having returned to the house the chairman reported the matter to him and the speaker asked if the, Irish members still refused to obey the order, and there Were cries of "Yes, yes." The speaker then named sixteen recal citrants and Mr. Balfour moved their suspension. This was agreed to without division. The speaker ordered them to withdraw but they refused, amid great uproar. The speaker called upon the sergeant-at-arms to remove them. They shouted defiance. The deputy sergeants-at-arms advanced and asked them to leave: still they refused. At this a number of offi cers and policemen entered to enforce the removal. Eugene Crean, member for Southeast Cork, struggled desperately against re moval, and there was quite a free fight on the Moor, lasting five minutes, other Irishmen assisting him. Eventually he was carried out bodily by six policemen amid yeils and cheers. The poiice then returned and carried each of the remaining recalcitrants in the same manner, although there was no further actual resistance. Six io Hcemen sufficed for each member with the exception of Mr. Flavin, who is a big man, and required eight. Many as they were being carried out waved their hands and shouted: "God save Ireland!" Thfvse who were removed included John C. Cullnnsan. Patrick White. Patrick Me. Hugh, William Lunder. William Abraham. Patrick Dugan. Anthony Donelan and James Gilhooly. The troubles iirose through Mr. Balfour closuring the whole educational estimates without giving an opportunity to discuss the Irish votes. The excitement is still vei-y evident, and when the house met at noon today, in view of possible disturbances, the -whole police force on duty at St. Stephen had been mobilized and reinforced by reserves. Mr. John Redmond speedily rose and raised a question of privilege arising from "the painful scenes of last night." He claimed that members had been suspend ed without proper steps being taken to identify them and that their removal had been accompanied by undue violence. He was satisfied, he said, that members were suspended who had actually pone to the lobby to participate In the liivision. The speaker, interrupting, pointed out that Mr. Redmond was not raising a ouestion of privilege, but a point of order. If he was properly informed of a ny wrong ful, suspsnsions, he (the speaker! would be glad to take steps to rectify them. Mr. Redmond tried to move an adjourn ment and appealed to Mr. Tlalfour to give the members an opportunity for discus sion. Mr. Balfour, remarkiner that he pre sumed it was desired to institute means for preventing a recurrence of the scenes of last night, promised to consider what opportunity for ci.'-ciiHvion could be given. The subject was then dropped. Sell Millon Dollar Mine. Phoenix, Ariz., March 6 The reported sale of the Vulture gold mine in Arizona by Chicago capitalists to Willis B.

In this statement it was admitted that the di rectors of the smelting company were not justified in the issuing of stock, whether for cash or property, to an amount greater than that which in their judgment they are to receive is worth.

Hi Km ncaa avenua. Chicago, 111., March 6. Over 30 base ball "stars have been asked to leave the National for the American League. The list to date follows: Chicago Griffith. Garvin, Bradley, Green, Ganzel and McCorm'ck.. Cincinnati Barrett, Scott, Stelnfeldt, Hahij and Kahoe. i St. Louis Criger, Wallace. Jones, Heidrick and Powell. Pittsburg Tannehill and Wagner. Boston Duffy, Collins, Stahl, Willis, Dineen and Clarke. Brooklyn Jones, MeGinnity, Sheckard, Howell and Kelley. Philadelphia Delehanty, Lajoie, Thomas and Flick. New York Mercer.Gleason and Doyle. Clark Griffith's open avowal of his al legiance to the American is likely to hasten the promulgation of new acquisi tions by the National's rival. President Johnson's aversion to making the names public at the present time has had prac tically no effect, and new names are be ing daily added to the roster of the or ganization. The reason for not making the names public at the present time i3 that hard ly any of the men have yet signed a playing contract. The American League, in order to circumvent the order of the Players' Protective association not to sign any man until the players' union had so decided, was compelled to adopt a new course in dealing with players. Instead of asking the men to sign a contract the players simply gave the American League an option on their services -for the coming year. and. al though this would hardly hold in court, it has been considered binding for the present: On the strength of the option the play ers, as given in the table above, were asked to ally themselves with the Amer ican League. Some have signed provis ional contracts in addition to the option, but the majority have not affixed their signatures to any contracts. Collins. DufTy and Clarke are known to have signed several days ago. Clarke sign ed a contract by proxy in Baltimore last week, and Slagel has also been cornered by Jimmy Manning. Bradley signed with Somers Saturday. Barrett is claimed by Jim Burns, of Detroit. Jones, of Brooklyn, is is good as signed. Jones has iot been regarded as in sympathy with the American League, but unless Ik-: should hack out this week he will be with the American League, possibly with the Boston club, but more likely with Baltimore. "Danny" Green offered his services to the American League, but there is no certainty that his offer will be accepted. Ganzel is on the fence. The big first baseman does not relish going to New York, where he will be under the thumb of "Andy" Freedman. and there is now prospects that he will go, bat k into the employ of Jimmy Manning at Washing ton. "Barry" MeCormiek, another Orphan, has .had an offer from Comisky, but the young player is still hesitating. He will undoubtedly be seen in the uniform of the White Stockings.

Fred Foster, the western turfman, sailed for Europe on the steamer FNuria "I'm taking a flying trip to England, not for the purpose of making a stay of any length, but to look over the ground with a view to future business," he said just before sailing. "It looks to me, from the experience of so many oth ers, that there is a lot of money to be made on the English and continental turf, if one has the material and knows how to manage it. I think Americans can learn some things from the English turfmen notably, patience. If they only win a few races a season, and know they are right beforehand, they can dis count us in the matter of stakes won. Over here the tendency to hammer and bang away at a. good horse as if he were a piece of machinery, is a. great error of Judgment, it seems to me." Asked about the situation on the coast with reference to the turf war between Tanforan and Oakland, the man who won the Brooklyn handicap with Doctor Rice had the following to say: "Well, you can readily see that the muddle has been the best thing in the world for the horsemen. I have had the best season with, my horses, Lennep, Peace, and others, that I ever had out there, and others will say the same. So with the Jockeys, who are making all kinds of money. But just before I left San Francisco, ten days ago. I under stood that Peacemaker Dan Bums was on the way to settle the "dispute am icably. But if Ingleside gets a license, Prince Poniatowsky and his associates will have all the best of it, and Tom Williams may have to give in, after all. As it was when I left, Tanforan was making a little money, while Oakland was losing." About the Western Jockey club and La 1 Jrir if cnan ard If zZ i or butter j fuKZfj "and sm f j I pure as?d i j tt KS ce2."J Turf Congress situation, Mr. Foster ob served: "I heard a good deal of comment in Chicago on the jar between the rival turf bodies, but in that matter, as well as in the California squabble, I am not taking sides. In common with most other .horsemen who race west, I believe in. letting them settle it themselves, and the outcome will show tlie survival of the fittest. The Turf Congress people assert that the new jockey, club, in fail ing to vote the old body out of existence, made a fatal error. The new body is very confident of its position, and there you are." On the subject of the exodua of Amer ican jockeys to Europe,; Mr. Foster says of Kd Ross: ,v- "There is one of the- most improved boys you ever saw, especially in long races, and he will make a name for him self in Austria, take my word for it. Not only has he great judgment of pace, but he is one of the strongest boys of his weight now riding." FITZ BUYS A LION. Fighter Visit Game Exhibition and Makes a Purchase. Chicago, March 6. Despite the cold weather the international forest, fish and game exposition was well attend ed yesterday afternoon and night. Among the many visitors was Bob Fitzsimmons, who spent a few hours at the sportsmen's show. He wandered up to the elk pen and was promptly charged by the cross old bull. Graver", Jr., and had to be held by the animal keepers to prevent him from climbing the fence and getting into the ring for a set-to. At the jaguar cage one or the cubs took a piece out of Bob's har.i, and he lost his friendship for the ani mals. Keeper McCurren of the Lincoln park zoo took the fighter-actor to see the cub lions, and after he left McCurren said he had sold one of the cubs to him for $250. Bob next paid a visit to the dingo dogs. "They are Australian," sure enough, and I am glad to see someone from my own country," said he. "These are the real things. You can't beat them, for they come from the land of the kangaroo." Mr. Fitzsimmons watched attentively the water games and the dive of Char lie Johnson from the top of the Coli seum. FITZ SAYS HE HAS QUIT. "No One to Fight, No Place to Fight, Nothing to Fight For." Geo. Siler, in Chicago Times-Herald. Bob Fitzsimmons. a bit older, but as hale and hearty and as full of ginger as ever, dropped in on us yesterday morn ing and in the afternoon made his bow to a Chicago audience in "The Honest Blacksmith." Bob does everything a hero in a play is expected to do, and goes some of the heroes a few better. That is, he gives an exhibition of bag punching, boxes three stiff rounds with big Ed Dunkhorst, makes horseshoes, and shoes a horse. Those, however, are only side issues, as in connection with those little byplays he mixes up and lands on top in everything heroic in the play. In fact, "Fitz" has shifted from a full-fledged fighter to a full-fledged actor, and he makes a good stab at the latter at that. But it is as a fighter, not aa an actor, that the sporting public is interested in Bob's present and future actions. It is safe to say that the ring has lost Fitz forever, and for the sake of old Bob it is hoped the loss to pugilism will be a gain to the drama. That is, in dramas wherein Fitz can show his fistic and horseshoeing skill. ,The ex-champion is done with pugil ism a sfar as active fighting in the ring goes. He said so months ago, and re iterated it last night. "No more for me, George,.' he said. "After I defeated Ruhlin and Sharkey I offered to fight Jeffries in a week and offered to bet William Brady $20,000 I could defeat his champion in six rounds. He refused the offer, saying 'Jeff' was out of condition. That settled it with me. I was satisfied he did not want any of my game after he saw the easy -manner in which I defeated Ruhlin and Sharkev, especialy Sharkey. Before Sharkey and I stepped into the ring that night at Coney Island, Jeffries was asked how he was feeling. And he said never better, that he felt good enough to fight in forty-eight hours. After I defeated Sharkey inside of two rounds he did not feel so good in fact, was not in condi tion to fight. That made me tired, so I For Frytng For Shortening Being strictly vegetable, no possibil ity of disease is carried with it as with animal fats.

"The game is dead, anyhow," he con tinued, "and even if I was inclined to re-enter the ring, where could I fight? Carson City? Corbett and I did not draw much there, and that was an im portant fight. No, no, I'm done. No body to fight, no place to fight, and if a place could be secured there would be nothing to fight for. "It took Jeffries twenty rounds to get a draw from Ruhlin and it took him twenty-five rounds to gain a decision over Sharkey. You know what I did to those men, and I'll leave it to the pub lice who is the best man Jeff or I. I know this much but there's my cue. Excuse me-while I play the hero." And with the last remark Fitz, in full-dress attire shuffled through the wings, toward the center of the stage, which he occupies throughout the play. Fitz, during his conversation, said he picked Jeffries to defeat Ruhlin rot be cause he was the more scientific,- but because of his strength, hitting powers, and especially for taking punishment. Inferentially he added: "And 1 can lick him." WILD PIRATE'S GOOD WORK. Will Be a Contender id the Crescent City Derby. Memphis, Tenn., March 6. The track was deep In mud this morning when Senator J. O'Brien's colt. Wild Pirate, worked a mile and an eighth in l:58'i handily. The mile was negotiated in 1:45, and the work decided Trainer Jack Burns to ship the colt to New Orleans for the Crescent City Derbv. which is run on March 16. John F. Schorr's colt, Joe Frey, will remain in San Francisco for the California Derby, and, as Mr. Schorr will not have a starter in the Crescent City Derby, Wild Pirate has a royal chance to win. George C. Bennett's jockey. Coburn. will probably have the mount. S. C. Hildreth has refused $10,000 for Waring, and will ship him and the bal ance of his stable from San Francisco to Montgomery park on Thursday. March 7. Doctor Matt.

Gard ner says he will post $250 in Boston on Thursday in support of his challenge. If Ryan does not accept, Gardner ssys his off er is open to Jack Root.

While the Lenten season was instituted as a pious obligation and st apart as a period of self-denial, espec'ally in the in dulgence of corporeal things, the modern observances conform more tr. custom than to the consistent motive which inspired those earnest seekers for the higher spir itual life. That portion of the world that dues not consider it necessary, for reasons of piety, to appoint any particular season for deny ing the flesh, may question the motives that govern the Lenten observances of the modern churchman. The wnrlding cannot bv any stretch of the imagination regard these forms in the light of austere C9C9A C1I?C91ATE (ROGERS EVERYWHERE I and rigid pelf-denial, when the abandon ment nt things wnu-h tne 'nnt-r nnn de lights in is simply a pleasant change from those heavier viands of which we have a surfeit, to the fresher lighter and more dainty foods that our city markets sui ply at this season. NATURR DlvMANDS A CTTNOK. "When the runner loses breath -he must stop; when the (h rower's arm grjjws weary he must rest." The great majority. who are not prompted by religious principles to f nst at this season would do well to hed the signals by which nature fives fair warn ing of the necessity of oboyhig hr laws. The laws of nature are the laws of God, and we cannot ruthlessly disregard them without suffering' the inevitable cons-qui-nces. During the cold winter season we per suade ourselves that it 1 necessary to Indulge more freely and liberally in the heavy foods moatw. g-ame. havy soup-1, wines and rich desserts. The mod of life, the modern household arrangements for supplying a summer temperature in our tiwt llings.oven in the coldest weather, are not taken into ronsidern tion we have become bo imbued with the idea that we must eat foods that will suuuiv sufficient bodily heat and f.rrre to resist the cold that, being, one-sided in our logic, we ad here to our roast pork, rnnsaires. goose, buckwheat cakes, plum pudding? and. mince pi-js with a devotion worthy of a totter cause, ana indulge in mem aa iidi tum and with little variat!.). What wonder, then, that the first warm days that herald the coming" of the heated term find us with sluggish Hood, inactive brain, lack of ambition and a proneness to propound the question, "Is lire worth, living?" Certainly not under such con ditions, as we are not in n state to pro mote our highest ideals or pose as an ex ample to others. SELF-APPOINTED IJSNT. Let our reasons be purely on the basis of common sense and without regard to the spiritual life, it is just as imperative that we have a change in our mode of living and dieti ng, unless we have been verv abstemious throughout the winter sea-son and observed temperance in ail things. Radical changes ere not to be recom mended in the matter of feeding the av erage individual in health: but a gradual moderation in the indulgence of so-called winter foods, the heavier, less digestible viands should begin with the forty days' observances, and if but for selfish desire for bodily comfort, the compliance to this custom will pay one hundred fold, i t I SUITABLE FOODS. The tempting array of dainty foods that make up the gastronomic list provided for our selection at tiiis time of yenr mig-ht tempt an anchorite to feast. We h a ie sea f ood s i n gren t va r ie t y and abundance, both fresh and preserved. eggs, cereals, cheese, fruits, nuts and many fresh vegetables. In fact, the heavier meats and rich com bination dishes are as unnecessary as they are objectionable to the p-alate grown cal lous and hard to please. We will rind ihat the change from the hea vv animal foods we hu vn so !ong in dulged in will greatly lnfluer.ee our splits as well as our bodily health, and we will e able to rejoice with every other living thing when nature bestows her weetest smiles and charms us anew w'.th her freshness and newness. NKW POTATUKS FROM OLD. Fish is, of course, the chief pubstltute for meat during Lent, and potatoes seem j to be the natural and m st acceptable vegetable aeeomuaniment. At this sea- i son our home-grown potatoes are in the poorest condition, and need special care in preparing for the table. One of the nicest ways of preparing them Is to pare andj with a vegetable scoop, whrh can be ob-' tained for a few cents, cut 01 t littio round balls. Throw these into cold water and let them freshen up until crisp. Cover again with cold water, adding salt, and boil until they are tender. Drain and dress with cream sauce or melted butter and parslev minced tine. You can read iiy pass these off as small new potatoes if you. cut them carefullv. TO FRY SM KLT?.

Tfca Athenian Society Holds Mock Presidential Inauguration. Baldwin, Ka?.. March 6. The Athe nian society held its fifth quadrennial pi-esidential inauguration in the college chapel. The building was packed to oversowing, many being turned away; commencement time does not even see to many visitors. The room had been transformed into the l.'n;ted States senate, by building two large boxes for the senator's wives and foreign diplomats. The speaker's desk had been raised and at either side were the tables of the clerks. The boxes were supported by eieht large marble pillars, and from two of them a large j arch was raised, covered with national i colors and decorated from the under Ride with electric lights. The keystone of the arch bm e the word "Ather.s." Just back of the speaker's desk was a larsce American .shield on a white back ground. This wa- surrounded by thirty red, white and blue liarts. from each of which radiated a streamer of similar color. Several hundred yards of bunting vere dr.iped about the room. The programme consisted of an actual reproduction of the closing hours of the Vnited States senate. Petitions, bills tend memorials were passed, messages from the bouse and from the president were received. The ship subsidy bill was diussed at length. Pages flew rere and there at the senators' bidding. The sergeant-at-arms turned back the clock to give the dying senate a few more minutes to complete its business, fnator Frye, impersonated by Mr. J loch, declared the senate adjourned Pine die. After the senate was ad journed the chief justice administered the oath of office to President McKin ly. impersonated by Mr. Bedford. Af ter a strong inaugural speech, the pres idential salute of seventy-one puna was fired, and the presidential party retired to the reception room. The senate then went into executive session at the call of its new presiding officer. Theodore lioosevelt, impersonated by Mr. Turner, for the confirmation of Ute president's appointments. The presidential reception was held in the Athenian hall, and here several hun dred met the president, vice president, cabinet officers and their wives. After the reception, an elegant eight course banquet was served in the Ma tonic hall tr two hundred guests. The jiost-prandial address was delivered by Governor Stanley. This was a strong, masterly talk in which the governor T.aid a very pleasant and touching txi tiute to the ladies. Thus closed the greatest social and literary event that Baker university has ver known. The Athenian society is purely subject for congratulations. It has the proud record of being the oldest chartered literary society of Kansas, and has an alumni of 102, more than any other similar society in Baker uni versity. i MRS. NATION'S PROTEST.

He was elected over a Republi can two years ago by a sweeping ma jority. This year the Republicans are trying to get together on a man who can beat Goodlander.

Forty Thousand Soldiers to Be Returned From Philippines. Question Whether Santa Fe Will Get the Business. The adoption of "colonist" rates to California will result In a big Inss of revenue on. military traffic to all west ern lines. Under a. pooling agreement made some months ago the lowest rate for the transportation of soldiers from Chicago to San Francisco was about $2S. This was the net cash rate to the gov ernment, after making all deductions on aocount of roads bond-aided or given land grants. The railroads have adopted a resolu tion that tickets will be sold at "colon ist" rates only on Tuesday, but they may be sold on thc:.t day of the week at any point east of the Missouri river. Hence it will be necessary only for the quartermasters at the various points only to arrange to have the soldiers be gin their trip on Tuesday. The railroad officials are advised that about 4:i,00t soldiers are to be returned from the Philippines as soon as others have reached there to take their places. There is a large movement of troops now in both directions, but many more are going west than are coming east. It is still a matter of speculation among passenger ofiiciais of western roads whether many soldiers will be sent to San Francisco by the Santa Fe route. Although the order of the war depart ment that all soldiers must go via Ogden has been canceled and the Santa Fe put on an equality with the other roads, in asmuch as it is not specially discrimi nated against, it seems to be the general belief of railway officials that the war department will route all military traffic via Ogutn, except when a lower rate for transportation is quoted by the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe has been a party to the agreement of all the western lines equitably to divide the profits of mili tary traffic, regardless of the line which actually carries the business. Having its own raiis from Chicago to San Fran cisco the Santa P"e is in a position to fight for what it thinks is due it, if not satisfied with the percentage of profits of the military pool allotted to it. The Santa Fe has had for several years prac tically a monopoly of the transporta tion of naval forces, through a very iow bid it made for the business when all the reads were scrambling lor it. Some ff the lines fear that the Santa Fe is inclined to adopt the same plan to cap ture the military traffic in case the war department routes all the business via Oiri'en hen the same rates are made by all lines. The pooling agreement of the railroads is admitted by some of its members to be in violation of the anti trust law, and they fear that trouble over rates is liable to result in the disso lution of the pool. ENGINEER M'GEEEVY INSANE Central Branch Engineer From Atch ison Taken to Asylum. Dan McGreevy. the well known Cen tral Branch engineer, has been taken to Fairview asylum, a private institution for the insane at Leavenwotrh. He has been showing signs of insanity for five or six months. A side rod on his loco motive' broke in March, a year ago, striking him on the head. Following this was the accident at Effingham in which Lew Baker lost his leg. McGreevy lost his job as a result of the general investi gation which followed. Mcllresvy had been running on the road for about sev enteen years, and it was the first time he had been let out. He was an excellent engineer and took great pride in his work, and getting let out worri'd him greatly. He talked about it a great deal, although he was taken back by the com pany because of his past record. A few weeks ago he was squeezed in the round house at Greenleaf. and has since been laying off. All these troubles seem to have combined to unbalance his mind.' His friends have feared his mind was failing for five or six months, and during the, past few weeks positive evidence of mental aberration has developed. For several days he has been more or less violent and it became necessary to place him in an asylum. TT. P. GETS BURLINGTON STOCKS Causes an Advance m Prices of Both Stocks. TCew York, March 6. The Commercial Advertiser says: "There were rumors in Wall street yesterday abtut Union Pacific interests acquiring a large block of stock of the Chicago, Burlington Quiiicy railway. Both of these stocks advanced in price in consequence of the rumors. A report prevailed in the stock exchange that persons identified with the Union Pa cific failway has acquired $150,000 shares of Burlington stock within the past few days. Some of the oldest shareholders of the Burlington company are said to have been approached recently with a proposition to exchange their stock holdings for a new bond. While the bond was not definitely described, assur ances were given that it would bear in terest equal to the dividends earned, by the Burlington stock." GIVEN A SURPRISE PARTY. Storehouse Employes Surprise Mr and Mrs. Bradley. Mr. and Mr?. Alexander Bradley of 228 Kline street were recently given an enjoyable surprise by a number of their friends.

Women who Work. "What tragedy for the wage-earning woman is hidden beneath the words I am not well enough to work Every penny of her slender income is needed for the necessaries of life for herself and others. Seldom, indeed, is it that the girl or woman who works in a factory, or in some business office or store, has merely herself to support. Nearly always there is an invalid mother or sister, peilaaps a brother or father. She taxes her endurance, therefore, to the last limit be fore giving up. She knows her place will be filled by some one else. She has no money laid up. Her wages have been in- sufficient for her pressing needs, and she has spent money on doctors, trying to keep at work and hold her place. But it's no use she has reached the limit. In her fight with female troubles she has come off second best, as myriads of women have before her. What will happen, now that she has lost her place and has broken down in health These heart-stirring stories are being lived all around us in large cities, and every one of them might have been a story of health and energy, if the young woman had but written to Mrs. Pinkham when she first felt ill. She would have been told just how to make herself well and strong, as many other women have, and this advice would have cost her nothing. And it is not alone in factories and business places that women are forced to give up on account of ill health. "It is quite as often the woman who does her own work at home. This means, generally, doing the work for a household of seven or eight. She also compels herself to attend to the daily round of duties when she ought to be in bed, and does not know where to look for that reliable help that will put her on her feet and stop those awful aches and pains. The sure help for all ailing women, who work at home or elsewhere, is JLydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound. "Women 'who have used it testify to this with one voice. When the periods are painful or too frequent; when the backaches and headaches drive out all ambition; when the heart-breaking, dragged-down sensation attacks you; when you are so nervous that every trivial thing excites you, you may be certain that there is some growing trouble fastening Itself upon you. Do not let disease make head way.

Con-.mcntinsj uion the Carnegie-Mior-sar. steel combine recently formed. Mr. Ilonrv Clews, in the most recent issue of his Wall Siteet Weekly Financial Review,- say: It presents an application. of the trust principle upon a scale surpassing any thing that has been supposed probable, or even possible. It is a striking illus tration of the way in which large con centrations ot industrial capital tend to the creation of still larger. It is con ceded that the merged companies found themselves face to face with an inevit able and destructive competition a bat tle between giants and this amalgama tion was brought about by a threat from Mi. Gamee-i to poaeh on the reserves of his neighbors. The organization of this huge concern is openly justified by Its promoters on the ground that it is. better to invest HO or 40 millions. in order to harmonize competing- interests, than' to intrenuce l.V) to 200 millions of new capital for the destruction of existing in dustries.' .11 of which amounts to an acknowledgment that great concentra tions of capital cannot realize their pol icy until they have become virtual mo nopolies, I'pon. this principle, may not th- Tinted States Steel company, hav ing got under its control one-half of the Iron trade, find itself compelled to carry on its programme of annexation until it monopolizes the entire Industry? And, again, are there no other industries like K to find themselves in the same posi tion of inevitable competition between Ftrong capitals and driven to seek fuller protection in still larger amalgamations?

Secretary of State George Clark is not on his way to Washington today to help Senator Burton iron out complications arising about the appointment of col lector cf internal revenue. Poli ticians had decided that this office will go to George Findlay several days ago. Now comes along a press dispatch say ing James M. Simpson is to get the place. This is given credence because the story has been that Simpson is pull ed out of the race for railroad commis sioner by a federal appointment. Some time ago George Clark was supposed to be a candidate for the place of collector. Clark left Topeka today for a fort night. Before going this afternoon he said to a reporter for the State Jour nal "I leave today for Port Arthur, Texas. I will be gone until about Maxell 1T. Mr. Burton has not written or telegraph ed me to come to Washington, but I do know that he will be home in a few days, as he wrote me to this effect. "No one has heard me sav that I was a candidate for internal revenue collect or. I have no idea what Mr. Burton will do in regard to that office. If anything in Washington relative to Mr. Burton's proposed appointments needs ironing out, as stated in a Kansas City paper. I am not aware of the fact. Mr. Frank Willard will accompany me on my trip to Texas. It will be mainly a pleasui-e-trip. but has just enough business in it to warrant the trip." Illinois Congressional Apportionmnte Springfield. 111., March 6. When the order of committee reports was reached in the house today.

It reduces the size of the primary districts so they will include not more than BOO voters of the party.

March 6. James Callahan, one of the alleged kidnappers of Ed ward Cudahy, today waived prelimi nary hearing and was held to the dis trict court in $7,000 bond. He was rep resented by two attorneys, who asked that the bond be fixed at a smill amount, in order to enable Callahan to secure his freedom ard arrange for witnesses which he could not procure were he to remain in jail. When thJ bond was fixed by the court Callahan paid he thought it was excessive ai d that an effort was being made to con vict him whether guilty or not. Th? court however declined to reduce the amount and Callahan was remanded to jail. Did Their Work WelL A number of the friends of the Inre brave soldier. Gen. Guy V.

CLOTURE BULL Resolutions Providing For It In Senate Goes to Committee. Washington, March 6. Again today when the senate convened tha galleries were packed with people, a majority of whom, as on recent days, being com posed of visitors to the city. The ex ecutive gallery was ablaze with blue, gold" cord and epaulettes, the visitors be ing members of the staff of Governor Yates of Illinois. Promptly at noon Vice President Roosevelt entered the chamber. As he stepped forward to his desk to call the senate to order a burst of spontaneous applause rang through the galleries. With evident manifestations of his dis approval the vice president seized his gavel and rapped sharply twice for order. Glancing sternly around the gal leries he said, and the words cut through the chamber like a knife: "If there is any applause or disorder, the sergeant-at-arms will clear the gal leries." The chaplain in his invocation referred with deep pathos to the sorrow which has fallen upon the junior senator from Alabama (Mr. Pettus) and his wife in the death of their only son. Mr. Piatt (Conn.) then called up the amendment to the rules of which, he gave notice yesterday, relating to the limitation of debate. After the amendment was read Mr. Teller (Colo.) inquired of Mr. Piatt whether he expected to secure action upon the amendment at the present ex traordinary session. Mr. Piatt replied that he did not de sire to discuss the proposed amendment at this time. He desired to have the amendment referred to the'eommittee on rules, but he doubted very much whether the committee on rules could consider it so fully as to enable the senate to take. action upon it at this session. He had felt, he said, that the senate ought to change its rules, and he had thought the proper time to introduce his propo sition was at the beginning of a new session of congress. He added that he would be glad to have action upon the amendment at this session, but he did not suppose it could be had. He desired that the amend ment be referred to the committee on rules in order that the committee might have opportunity to consider it during the recess. "I hope," he said in conclusion, "that some fair amendment to the rules may be devised by which there can be a rea sonable (not an unreasonable) limit placed on debate." Mr. Teller said he had no desire enter objection to the reference of the amend ment to the committee on rules. Thai was the proiier xdace for it. He inquired however whether there was any expec tation on the part of the majority to do anything more during the present ses sion that executive business. Pending an answer to that question Vice President Roosevelt announced in a low but distinct tone that -the pro posed amendment would be referred in absence of objection to the committee on rules. Responding to the inquiry of Mr. Teller. Mr. Hale (Me.), disclaiming any attempt to speak for anybody except himself, said the extraordinary session had been called for the transaction of purely executive business. He did not suppose the senate would be kept in ses sion many days or be called upon to consider any other1 subjects than purely executive business. Mr. Teller submitted some brief com ments uponthe transaction of business at extraordinary sessions of the senate. holding that the body had a perfect J right in accordance" with precedents t'l do anything it could in regular session. Mr. Piatt speaking, he said, for him self only, expressed the opinion that it would not be wise to enter upon the transaction of general legislative busi ness at this extraordinary session. It would not be the part of wisdom to do much more than executive business. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) urged that the rules be observed, and that the regular order of business of the senate as laid down in the rules be observed. He had sub mitted a resolution yesterday upon which he desired action and an oppor tunity to submit some remarks. The resolution to which he referred was one declaring the. Clayton-Bulwer treaty abrogated. After the routine of morning business had been transacted Mr. Morgan ad dressed the senate upon his resolution. He said he would exclude from his ar gument any consideration of the Pan ama canal commission. The only pros pect of the construction of the Nica ragua canal now by the Fnited States rested upon the protocols which had been entered into between this country and the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. ALL SWORN IN. Cabinet Members Occupy Their Old Places. Washington, March 6. The members of the cabinet were sworn in today in the cabinet room at the White House. The ceremony was entirely informal, no one being present except the president. Chief Justice Fuller, who administered the oath, and Secretary Coreelyou. The members stood around the cabinet table and with uplifted hands repeated after the chief justice the oath of allegiance. After extending to each one and to the president mutual congratulations. Chief Justice Fuller withdrew. For about half an hour afterward the members of the cabinet remained with the president dis cussing appointments. The appoint ments of the war claims commission ers and the St. Louis exposition com missioners will be made very shortly. In addition some other important ap pointments are pending. Although official announcement of the fact is withheld for the present to avoid an adverse influence upon Mr. Meikle john's contest before the Xebraska leg islature, it is known here that Col. Wil liam M. Carey Sanger, ot New York, has accepted the post of assistant sec retary of War to succeed Mr. Meikle john. It is believed that the change will take place toward the end of this month. Senator Chandler Is understood to be slated for the chairmanship of the war claims commission, and several of the St. Louis fair commissioners, among them ex-Representative Allen (Miss.), W. L. Chambers "tAla). and ex-Representative Rodenberg (111.) re under stood to have been already decided upon. WARMER WEATHER. The Weather Man Relents and Tem perature Will Change. The weather bureau now promises that the cold wave has passed and that warmer weather is coming along with the winds of March. The maximum today up to noon was 33 and the minimum 13. The wind has moderated to 20 miles an hour from the south. The forecast today is ""fain to night and Thursday. Warmer tonight and southeast portion, Thursday." ONE MEMBER SELECTED. R. BL Hamer, of Lyon, Will Be On the Tax Commission. Speaker Barker and Lieutenant Gov ernor Richter are waiting for the pub lication of the act in the official paper to appoint the commission charged with the revision of the assessment and tax ation laws. In the meantime there is more or less speculation as to the men into whose hands this important woijc will be delegated. On the part of the house, from which three of the five members of the commission are to ame, Representative R. M. Hamer. of Lyon, has been picked for one. Kmil Grosser, of Dickinson, may be another. He was chairman of the assessment and taxation committee. The commission must finish its work within GO working days and the pay al lowed is $10 a day. GEOU CONQUERED, Negotiations in Progress For Surrender of Insurgents. Lieutenant West Surprises a Filipino Camp. Manila, March 6. Lieut. West, with the gunboat Laguna de Bay, surprised an insurgent camp on the Island of Taiim on Lake bay, east of Manila, capturing 31 insurgents. Many small detachments in various lo calities are being surrounded daily. Ne gotiations are in progress for the surren der of all insurgents on the Island of Cebu. The United States Philippine commis sion is investigating the case of Senor Mameje. the native judge of the court of first instance, in Manila, who is accused of fraudulently aiding the administrated of the Kririeiuez estate. The case of the Enriquez estate is well known and litiga tion concerning it has lasted fifteen years. The estate was originally worth a mil lion dollars, but through fraud this value has dwindled to $3uu,00u. The venality and incompetency of the courts will probably be demonstrated. FIRST BILL VETOED. Governor Stanley Yetoed Board of Health Rill. The clerks, janitors and six members of the house were a bit surprised when a bill in the batch submitted by Gov ernor Stanley this afternoon had his veto attached. The bill provided that Secretary of the Board of Health Swan be paid every month instead of quar terly, also that his traveling expenses be paid by the state. The governor's reasons for vetoing were given in the following message: "This bill provides that the secretary of the board of health shall receive such compensation as may be allowed by law, to be paid him in the same man ner as the salaries of other state offi cers are paid, and I think this is a wise provision. It also provides that he shall be allowed such necessary traveling and incidental expenses as shall be shown by an itemized account duly verified by his affidavit that such account is just, correct and the expenditure was neces sary and actually made, and that all vouchers of his department shall be ap proved by himself. "This is a privilege not allowed to any other appointive officer in the state, so far as I am informed. In all other in stances vouchers for expenses must be approved by some one other than the person incurring the expense. 1 do not know why an exception should be made in thi3 instance and the secretary should be the sole judge of either the reason ableness or necessity of iter." of ex pense incurred by him and be given the authority to approve his own bills. There being no reason for the exception in this instance, I hereby return the bill without my approval. "W. E. STANLEY, Governor." MRS. NATION WRITES.

The same element that put Hn zen in office, who does not know the meaning of law and order are the same that are bellowing for Hughes. I know but little of these things, but I judge from the known to the unknown. CARRIE NATION. What is the matter with the Capital?

March 6. The senate committee on foreign relations todav authorized a favorable report upon the supplemental treaty between the Uni ted States and Frarce extending1 f. r one year the time within which the le ciprocity tieaty between the two coun tries may be ratified. The origin :ai agreement fixed the time of expiration at the 24th or March, 1900, and the su; plemental treaty extends it until 24th of the preserit month. The original treaty was reported more than a year ag. There was some discuFion in tl.d committee as to whether there phouK? be an effort to have the reciprocity treaties pending: in the senate acted up on at this session, but no definite con clusion was reached. The most general opinion seemed to favor consideration of the treaties to which little objection is made which are tho-e with Sout.i American a,nd Central American repub lics. There is considerable opposition" to both the English and French recip rocity treaties. All of the reciprocity treaties will ex pire by limitation before the next ses sion of congress.'

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. 3IATTOH 0, 1901. A Remarkable Experience of a Prominent Statesman. CONGRESSMAN IIEEKISON GIVES A HIGH END ORSE2ifEH"T. CCS-r.SSSSIAlT 1SSSSIS01T, 0? OHIO. Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own state, but through out America. He began his political career by serving four Consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in w hich he lives, daring which time he became widely known a the founder of the Meekisnn Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large; majority, and is tiie acknowledged leader of hi party In his section of the state. Only one flaw marred the ot hern ise complete success of this rising states man, catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only imeon.Tjuered foe. For thirty yeara he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the fol lowing letter to Dr. Hart man as the result: Havo ii d caver.vl hntf lt nf Perunjl A.,.--h 1m K a 1 I faal uni f short time lorijj;r I will foe able t j I years standing." David Meektson, .Many j pie can tolerate slight ca tarrhal a flections. A Hula hoarseness, a, slight cough, a cold in the bead, or a trirUng derangement of the diges'ive organs, do not much disturb the average n in his business. But this is not true of the public sn-?aker or stage artist. His voice must always be clear, lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Perur.n among the leading actors and a.-iv-- of this country. They- have come to regard Peruna as indispensable to their success. Their prof-ssion i so exacting that it requires perfect health in every particular. They r- ear.i Feruna as their frie:id and safe- Mary letters are received from this class- of people. Miss Carrie Thomas, a prominent actress of New York City in speaking of Peruna, says: 'I have used i'eruna uith splendid results. Would not be without it. Xo money would hire j ae to have a settled cold or chronic cotisii. or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thins that could happen to me of my profession. Peruna is my Fhield a:: 1 protector against this most uP'Wiralile disease." Carrie Thomas. The season of catching cold is upon ns. The cough and the sneeze and the r.asal twang is to he heart! on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, tne most common and dreadful of chronic diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, w ii e h hansrs on longer than usual. The t i generally starts in 1 he head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the per son has a. cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent cleaning of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full f-elii:tf in the fcead, and sore, intlamed throat. Toe best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used, never fails to cure a com- WAli OX BOOTBLACK TRUST. Colored Men Furnish Music, and Work on Sunday.

Snedeker. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottie of Peruna, yet. as a rule when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumerable of catarrh of twenty years' standing-. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slight est symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what Is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

MEIKLE JOHN'S SLCCESS0K. W. C. Sanger, of New York, to Be As sistant Secretary of Wat. New York, March 6. A special to the iribune from Washington says: The president has selected William carey Banger, ot .Mew York, for as sistant secretary of war, In succession to George D. Meiklejohn, of Nebraska, who has held the omce ror the last four years. Colonel Sanger, who, with his wife, formerly Miss Dodge, a daughter of Gen. P. C. Dodge, of New York, is now a guest at Secretary Boot's home, has long been the choice of the secre tary to serve as his assistant in dispos ing or the enormous and rapidly grow Ing business of the war department, and his nomination would have gone to the senate some time ago had not the ad ministration feared that the acceptance of iiis resignation might Injure the pros peots of Mr. Meiklejohn for one of the two vacant Nebraska senatorships, for which he is now a leading candidate be fore the legislature at Lincoln. It Is thought now that the announcement need no longer be delayed on this ac count. Colonel Sanger's nomination may, therefore, be sent V the senate for con firmation In a day or two, and if so, he may take charge of tois office next week. Colonel Sanger's great military experience and legal ability are said to have been the chief elements which led to his selection for the office which though already one of considerable dig nity and responsibility, it is the inten tion of the president and Secretary Root to make much, more important in every respect. Since the war department has come to be the branch of the government that spends more money than any two of the other departments combined, the need of a thoroughly capable assistant to the secretary has been most pressing. The treasury and state departments each have three such assistants, the postofflce has four, the interior two and the others have one each. Colonel Sanger at the outset will have charge of the recruiting service, which is now engaged in the work of raising the army to a strength of loo.OoO; of all matters relating to enlisted men, their discharges, quarters and rations, their courts martial, Including the exercise of clemency, and matters relating to pris oners at military prisons and peniten tiaries; of all claims and accounts of appointments: transfeis and promotions in the civil service, and everything that affects the great civil force of the war department; the military departments and the military government in the Philippines; of insular customs and tariffs, also of sales of subsistence and quartermasters' stores to civilians; mat ters relating to national cemeteries, boards of survey and open market pur chases, and on his Judgment all medals will be awarded. Under the contemplated reorganization of the war department, which is to be made in the coming summer, probably at the end of the current fiscal year, on June 30, other duties will devolve tipon him and in addition he must act as secretary whenever Secretary Root is absent. The last responsibility Is un derstood to be the chief motive for Colonel Sanger's selection, a Secretary Root can not confine himself so closely to his desk as he has in the past with out serious consequences to his health. Colonel Sanger's long service as in spector general of the national guard of the state of New York, and his fond ness for military matters, are believed to fit him for important work in the war department. Colonel Sanger has shown particular interest in the building up of a national reserve, which is a subject near Secretary Root's heart. Colonel Sanger is 47 years old. He is a relative of General Sanger, of the regular army, who recently took: the census of Cuba and Porto Rico. FROM THE ORIENT. Gossip Concerning Affairs in Chin and Japan. Victoria, B. C, March 6. Chinese pa pers received by the Empress of India, say that in Kansu the Mohammedan revolution,of which the moving spirit is Gen. Tung Fun Siang, is growing. The court, fearing that the rebels may in vade Shensi, are talking of moving their capital to Szaeehuan. The Chinese army of the north has been transferred to Yu Nan and Kwci Chau,says the North China Daily News, and Gen. Feng Tset says the southern army of 30,000 tias been ordered north to Shensi It is stated at the Chinese capital that in the event of peace nego tiations failing these troops were to be pitted against the allies. The Japan Gazette says: "By order of the governor of Shan tung, large posterns have been put up at Chefoo, the contents of which are as follows: "First Pastors and priests are invi ted to return to their various statior.s, "Second Magistrates to receive them and escort them from district to dis trict.

The poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is done cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently. Mrs. Sarah M.

FASTER SERVICE Is Being Arranged For Freight Be tween the Two Oceans. New York, March 6. The Journal of Commerce says: A movement is being energetically pushed for an expedited freight service from California to New York, the fruit growers being especially interested. Mr. Horace Day of Sgobel Day, large receivers of California fruits, said that an improved service was absolutely necessary and the rail roads should promptly take the matter up to be prepared for the shipments of deciduous fruits which wll! begin in May. Freshness and brightness and soundness W'ere indispensable if the fruit is to realize remunerative prices and these features can only be secured by cutting down the time in trrnsit. Mr. Ruhlman Co. said: "It takes now, on an average, from 15 to 17 days to get fruit here from California, where as formerly it required but ten or eleven days. It is hardly necessary to point out the importance, both to the railroads and to this market, of having quicker service, so as to bring the fruit here in better condition. Recently the market was affected because the fruit offered had been delayed so long in transit that it had spoiled. As for the railroads, it ia to their interest as well, it seems to me, to give faster transportation and to land the merchandise here in good con dition, because when a car is spoiled dealers refuse to receive it and it is thrown back on the railroad people to be disposed of as best they can. There is, in such cases, a loss of freight and the use of the car. There is certainly need for quicker service and I have rea son to believe that the efforts now being made in this direction will bring about the desired results." Mr. B. Tenbroeck of the Union Pacific railroad company said: "No complaints have reached us from the local handlers of California fruit about delays. I understand there is some complaint on the coast of the shortage of cars. As to the service by the roads I think the usual time is being made and if there are deiays they probably occur between Chicago and the east and are due largely to a heavy movement of freight and to severe cold weather. De lays are bound to occur at times, but so far as the railroads are coin-erred, they are just as anxious to get the freight through and off their bands as the local interests are to receive it, since it is perishable merchandise-" Tests For Real Diamonds. From the London News. Recent arrivals from South Africa have brought (says a correspondent) the most wondrous specimens of "diamonds" with Ihem, beautiful to behold, but, alas, they would not sciatch glass, while some of the most beautiful of all can be cut with a pocket knife. It is tol erably simple to say whether a stone is a diamond or not. If you can scratch a sapphire with it you want no further test, it is a diamond. If you rub it with wool or on wood In the dark and it phos phoresces, it is a diamond. If you look through it at a light and only see ona Hsrht it is' most probably a diamond. The X-rays have discovered that a dia mond ts nearly, if no quite, translucent to these rays, whereas the brightest "paste" contains most lead and throws the blackest shadow. And a diamond tastes cold, whereas a paste gem tastes warm. Major Eattersby, O. S.

Alberta Gallatin Greatly I'leases Topeka Andieuce. A Perfect Portrayal of Vivacious Nell Gwynn. EARNS CURTAIN CALLS. Simplicity and Naturalness Her Charm. Says 31 rs. Nation Would Mate Dime 31useum Freak. Without a piece of special scenery and dependent only upon her acting Al berta Gallatin scored a decided triumph at the Grand last night as the vivacious "Nell Gwynn," who has lately been re vived by the histotians and playwrights. It was Miss Gallatin's efforts alone whicl decided the success of the per formance. After the third act she re ceived three curtain calls and was warmly applauded during the last act. It seems that Cator Heverin, who is re sponsible for the historical comedy drama, has wasted opportunities in the first two acts. They are not particularly strong, and beyond giving "Nell Gwynn" and -"Charles Stuart, king of Kngland," a chance to display their true characters and to reveal the plot against the king, tnere is very little in the two acts, and the audience may begin to wonder if "Nell Gwynn," the passionate, frivolous and most talked of woman in Kngland of her time, is to go on through the four acts without any opportunities. There are opportunities, however, and Miss Gallatin mads the most of them. In the third act, in the apartments of "Lord Buckhurst," where the plotters of the king have entrapped him, "Nell Gwynn," heretofore the mischievous maid, be comes a woman; a woman full of loyalty and love and ready to sacrifice herself for the life and honor of her lover, the king. She is Mistress Nelly of old Drury no longer, and no longer the silly nillv companion of the courtiers and Charles Stuart, but the defender of the king. The last act. at the "Crowing Hen Inn," is where the audience does not wait for the curtain to fall but applauds right in the midst of the excitement as "Nell Gwvnn" dances before the drunken allies of "Wye" in order to gain time that the king may be rescued.- In the wild abandon of the dance, as she dodges around the room to the plaudits and Jibes of the drunken ruffians, snap pin? her fingers in time to the reckless fandango. and smiling as bewitchingly at the swains as she did at the lords and ladies, the climax to the short story of Sw eet Nell of old Drury !s reached, and Heverin is forgiven and his reason un derstood for making the first two acts vehicles for the heroine's piquancy as a contrast to her strength and cunning in the last. Miss Gallatin's acting leaves nothing wanting. It does not seem that any other actress' conception of the char acter could be better. The charm of her acting is the simplicity and naturalness. Not once, even in the wildest scenes, does Miss Gallatin overdo the part in the least. Many who saw her may com pare her in many ways to Mrs. Fiske. There Is a reminder in Miss Gallatin's wavs of the portrayer "Becky Sharp." Miss Gallatin's supporting company is not as strong as could be desired. The "Charles Stuart" of Allen Davenport is not as pleasing as it might be. although Davenport is an actor of ability. Arthur Rutledge as "Captain Rupert Wyborne' seems to be the strongest in the support of Miss Gallatin. Margaret Dale Owen as "Mistress Betty Fairfield" pleased the audience, both -on account of her pref- face and good acting. There were a few funny incidents in the plav not calculated to be there. In the third act "Nell Gwynn" and "(Charles Stuart" were to be seated to gether on a sofa. Instead of a sofa the property man had secured a large arm chair, and when the king and "Nell Gwynn" unbent themselves to be seated they sank into the chair, or tried to. together and it looked as if something must give way. But nothing gave in the least, and they were wedged in to gether between the narrow arms of the chair. The audience laughed, and so did the ever vivacious Nellie. Miss Gallatin was much interested in Mrs. Nation. "This is the scene of Mrs. Nation's exploits, is it not?" she asked. "Well, I have followed her pretty close ly in the papers. Do I think she could make a success on the stage? No: the davs of sensationalism of that kind are over. She might do in a dime museum as a freak, but not on the stage." Miss Gallatin was abroad last summer, and while in Kngland bought a copy of a painting of Nell Gwynn, and from that painting her wig maker in New York patterned the dark auburn wig she wore as the character. Miss Gallatin is a de cided brunette. AIDES APPOINTED. Commander Martin Names Aides For Annual Encampment. A general ,order Issued by Department Commander Martin of the Kansas G. A.

Former Governor Pingree of Michigan spent half an hour last evening with Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, discussing the war in South Africa, whither Mr. Pingree will soon go on business. While Mr. Cham berlain did not refer to the negotiations row in progress for the surrender of General Louis Botha he told Mr. Pin gree that he failed to see how the Boers could hld out much longer. Mr. Pin gree who was greatly impressed by the Colonial secretary said after the inter view: "I never sat down with a more democratic gentleman. I always knew he was a brainy man, but I must con fess he surprised me." Sleeting at the Auditorium. A meeting in the interest of the law and order ticket will be held ths even ing at 8 o'clock. Good music. Grxid speeches. .Everybody should attend. PLAIM FACTS TOLD. (Continued from First Page.) right in the matter? The meeting was really a remarkable one. A. competent reporter might have made huge, legiti mate capital out of it for the Journal's side. Mr. Gleed's soeech was fearfully, chillingly vulnerable. Some others largely so. The strongest and really onlv argument in favor of Mr. Hughes was that he is, all things considered, less objectionable than Mr. Warner. In many respects the meeting resembled an ordinary ward heelers' meeting, ex cept that every one present was actu ated by a high and pure motive a desire to conserve the best interests of the city if he knew how to do it. There was a doubt how best to secure this result. Not one speaker expressed entire con fidence in his candidate. One plainly de clared he could not support Mr. Hughes. There were two meetings. In the in terim informal discussions were had. Mr. Hughes was favored by most of those present, but under protest, plainly expressed, a sentiment manifestly gen eral throughout the city anions his sup porters. After most of those in attend ance had gone, including Mr. Gleed, Mr. Hughes arrived and a few returned to hear him. In his remarks he named some business men who are supporting him, among whom were some recognized as not friendly to the cause of prohibit tion. At that time I was opposed to Hughes, and I became more so after that meeting, while not favoring War ner. G. F. KIMBALL. WRITINGS OF ST. JOHN. Interesting Papyri Which Have Been Discovered in Egypt New York, March 6. According to a Tribune special from Bosf--n, the Rev. Dr. Wm. C. Winslow. vice president of the Egyptian exploration fund there is authority -for the statement that in ad dition to the papyrus of St. Matthew's Gospel sent to the University of Penn sylvania that of St. Paul's Kpistle to ihe Rorr.ans, presented to Harvard two eth er extremely interesting panyrl are yet to be assigned. One is that of John which contains eighteen verses of chap ter 1 and 14 verses or chapter XX. In the first part are the words "Behold the lamb of God which taketh r.wav the sin of the world." and "We have found the Messiah." In chapter XX is the memor able story of Mary at the sepulchre. This papyrus of St. John in book form contained about fifty pages. Dr. Wins-low- says, and only the outer leaves are preserved. He says that the document is better written than the c5t. Matthew papyrus and is in harmonv with the famous text of Westcott and Hart. The papyrus is dated 200 A. D., or a little later and is pronounced only a little later than the S.t. Matthew text. The confirmation of the text of the present version is absolute. Dr. Winslow says that th papyrus of St. Mark although only a fragment is most precious, containing in the few verses of chapters X and XI specific facts of the life of Jesus. The manu script resembles the famous Codex Alex andrinus, now in the British museum and agrees with our "standard version. Its age is between 400 and 500 A. D. Other papyri sent to Philadelphia not yet announced include historical tables of emperors from Augustus to Decius a genuine "I. O. U.." as such documents are now termed for a loan, a lun in the year 57, when the attorney is in structed to "worry" the debtor until he pays up, and a manumission paper for a slave. Dr. Winslow says that the soil of F.gypt abounds in papyri but the. in creasing agricultural operations and the great dam which will flood an Immense area, will mean the destruction of tens of thousands of the historic papers, LEAVES Til AT TO TESLA. Marconi Is Not Ready to Telegraph Across the Ocean. New York. March 6. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser frDtn London says: Sigftor Marconi, who sails this week on the Majestic for New York, said to a cor respondent: "I have no big scheme on hand, but am crossing at the invitation of a few friends. My business is for the most part nrivate, though something, of course, may come out of it. I am going to see some mem bers of the equipment bureau of the navy with a view of getting my system official ly examined. I shall at least demonstrate my method of woiking and in all proba bility tit up a number of Installations on the coast to establish communication with light ships. I alo hope to .have an op portunity of experimenting on American warships." "Has your visit any objeci with the idea of establishing wireless communication between England and America?" was asked. "Not the slightest. We have a long way to go before that can be a'.t-lined. Tesla has the field at present, with that notion. If he succeeds. I shall be among the first to congratulate him. In the meantime I have managed to cover o"er 200 miles vithout difficulty and hone in a vefy ;'.iort time to double that distance, as my aparatus is steadily being improved." Marconi intends to stay a month in the United States. BASKET BALL SCORE. Topeka and Haskeli Are Fighting For First Place.

PREVENTED ABDUCTION. Married Wellington Man Attempted to "Elope With Young GirL Wellington, March 6 City Marshal Cox stopped something: yesterday which would have resulted 'in bigamy and pos sibly murder had the plans of a mar ried man living in the First ward and a girl not quite sixteen years old been carried out. The man and fdrl were preparing to elope, and everything- was in readiness for them to leave the city together Thursday. The man went to Wichita last week and secure t a marriage li cense. The girl purchd.sei clothing at a dry goods store to the amount of $40.36, and at one of the jewelry stores to the amount of nearly $10. The cloth ing and jewelrv were given to the man and he had left part of it in a store and the remainder of it in a room in the second story of on rf the .business houses on Washington avenue, until thev were ready to elope. The discoverv of the plans was due to the man telling his wife that one of the officers had given him until Thurs day to leave town. The man's wife went to 'the officer to learn if the story was true. The officer was surprised at the storv, and an investigation revealed the plans of the man and girl. The clothing, jewelry and marriage license were found where the man had left them. MAfelXG ARRANGEMENTS. Department Commanders SelectHead quarters in Junction City. Department Commander W. W.

The purpose of the visitors is to select suitable headquarters for each organi zation.

Romantic Story of Capture of Soldier Charged With Murder. New York. March 6. Leys Darrell, formerly first sergeant in tneji G, Sev enth United States cavalry, is expected to reach New York today from Naples, a prisoner in charge of Lieutenant W. O. Dupuv, United States army. Dar reil is charged with murdering and rob bing a fellow soldier and tent mate in Cuba. More than a year ago Lieutenant THipuy was ordered to find the murderer. Disguised as a sailor the lieuterant fol lowed Darrel! from Cuba through Brit ish West Indies, from there to Lorenzo Marques, from there through South Africa and finally to Nfples When larre!l saw Dupuy in Naples the fugi tive gave up and said he was glad it was over. They sailed on the Hohen zollern, which is expected here soon The murder was a peculiar one nnd Parrell's side has not been lold. He and Henry Crouch enlisted in the army about the same time and both were as signed to the cavalry branch of the ser vice. Owing to the intimacy that sprang up between them both asked to be de tailed in the same troop and the wish was granted. In the Spanish war the regiment was sent to Cuba nnd the men became tent mates. Darrell was a p-ood soldier and won a corporal's sfripe and later, for heroism, was made a sergeant. Then, for bravery in battle, he was made first sergeant of his troop. He and Crouch remained the best of friends but one night the body of Crouch was fo-jnd in the company's street. He lad been murdered and witnesses swore that the heroic first sergeant was the murderer and that he afterward had robbed the body. Darreil fled and then began the long chase. He will be taken to Cuba for trial. WILIaBE shout. Work Mapped Out For Special Ses sion of Maryland Legislature. Annapolis. March 6. It '.vas deter mined in caucus last night that the only measures to be considered during the special session of the legislature will be the new ballot law, the act to enpble Baltimore city to borrow $;2.0t0.i00 with which to buiid a sewerage system and the bill to provide for a census of the state to be made by state-1 numerators for the purpose of fixing the proper rep resentation in the general rrsenbly. It has also been determined to enforce the cloture rule in the senate in order to prevent filibustering. It "s. therefore probable that the special session which began at noon today will not ba a long one. HEART DISEASE. Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In. crease of Heart Trouble. Heart trouble at least among the Americans, is certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to-the ex citement and worry of American busi ness life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Real organic disease is incurable: but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The ciose relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the sympathetic and pneu mogastric. In another way. also the heart is affected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, inter fering with their action: hence arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also-poisons the blood, making it thin and watery, which irri tates and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can be done by the regular use after meals of some .afe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation like Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable harmless digestive ele ments in a pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to say that the regular per-, sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cajicer of the stomach. Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Ad dress i A. Stuart Co., Alaxshall, Mich. TO FREE AN EAGLE. Law Will Compel Bird Captured in Chicago to ba Given Liberty. Chicago, March 6.The Tribune says: The bird of freedom is not to be trifled with not at least if the Audubon so ciety can prevent it. Police Captain Hadden and Patrolmen Crane and Lavin captured and caged an eagle in Wash ington park on Monday. A director o the Audubon society, reading in the newspapers the account of the capture, notified State Gaiao Commissioner Love day that the capture or killing of an eagle is a violation of the statutes of Illinois. With the dry law he mixed a touch of sentiment, saying: "Aside from the liv ing interest which the eagle adds to tiie woods and fields there ia a sentiment which attaches to the bird." The game commissioner at once en listed iu the cause of the eagle. The bird of freedom should be aii that its title implied if he could bring it about. He reread the account of the capture in the papers, then wrote a reply to the Audubon directors. He said: "Your favor relative to the capture and caging of an American eagle duly received, and I can assure you that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and the party or parties found guilty of a violation of our statutes will be dealt with according to their deserts." ITALIANS RESENT ATTACK. Claim Their Lemons Are As Fine as Those of California. New York, March 6. The Journal of Commerce says: The Italian chamber f commerce of this city has "resolved to answer aid refute the attacks made on Italian lem ons by several firms of this city and elsewhere." The chamber announces that a special committee has been ap pointed which has made arrangements with the Fruit Buyers' union to have g. "strictly impartial and unbiased ana lysis" made of the lemons of California and those produced in Italy. By. this analysis it is intended to show the rel ative merits of the two products as to the amount of citric acid contained, essential oil In the peel and durability. The committee is now awaiting a spec ial shipment of Italian fruit which, it is stated, will be compared with a se lected quality of California lemons. For some time the cuestion as to which fruit is superior, the imported or the domestic, as to the qualities referr ed to, particularly the amount of acid contained, has attracted a great deal of attention, both in this market and on the Pacific coast. The controversy was precipitated by a test secured by he Earl Fruit company, the result of which was favorable to California lemons. On ly recently, however, Mr. S. Saitta, a prominent broker dealing in Sicily lem ons, had a test made which gave en tirely different results. Mr. Saitta had the test made at his own request and expense by Messrs, G..A. Ferguson and R. J. Nested, chemists. The latter' made an analysis regarding the acidity of California and Sicily lemons. For this purpose there were used 12 California and 12 Sicily lemons, furnished by Messrs. Krone brothers. The result is given below: Three hundred lemons give of citric acid crystal, (ounces) California 26.03, Sicily 29.66. One United States gallon of juice con tains in ounces of citric acid crystal, California 8.79; Sicily 11.43. Citric acid, crystal, per cent of Cali fornia 6.60; Sicily 8.38. In speaking of this test at the time Mr. Saitta said: "The test brings out the point that the real value of the imrorted Sicily lemon is the large amount of citric acid it contains. It has never been possible to grow lemons in California equal in this respect to those procured in Sicily because of the absence of sulphur ia the eoil of California. The soil in Sicily is impregnated with sulphur which im parts to the lemons grown there tntir large quantity of acid. Buyers do not purchase lemons for their appearane, but merely for the aeid they contai-i. California lemons have thinner skms and will not keep as long as Siciiy lem ons. The latter will keep for several months, while the domestic fruit, on ac count of their thin skin and smaller quantity of acid, will not keep as long." SAYS HE GOT 0FFWRQXG. J.

Joseph A Con lin, formerly a clerk in branch postoflice H in New York citv, was arrested here la-t night by Detective Evan and Post ot'See Inspector C. O. J?.mes and J. K.

Conlin was found living on Fourth street with a woman who had accompanied him to this city from Brooklyn. It was learned thst Conlin. or O'Rell. as he was known here, was training McFadden, the prize fighter, in Alameda. Ooniin was seen In his cell and said: "I am the man they want, all right, and I know what they want me for. I want to say that I got very little of the monev or bonds that were stolen. I am up against It now. all right. The dav after I left New York I was airoointed to the New York police force, having passed the second highest examination out of ll.OiiO men. I got off wrong, and here I ara now with nothing in front of me. I am sorry for the woman that is with me. My wife and two children are in New York." Y0UNT DENIES IT.

Commlsstoner of Elections Yonnt will soon go out of oi'rice and In speaking of it this morning: he said: "I hive got along nicely in the office and have but one complaint to make on reports con cernirg me since I have been commis sioner, and that was not the tanlt of any one except the man who told the story, which was an untruth." "What was the story, and who told it?" he was asked. "It was the fairv tale told bv the wit ness Parrish in the Balf Sterk trial." he replied. "He said that he belonged to a company in the law and order regiment which was commanded bv- me. Now. I do not know this man Parrish and I had nothing to do with the 'regiment.' I at tended but one law and order meeting, and that was a public one I was captain of no such company. That is the -only thing I have to kkk about." It may not be out of pi ice to say that Mr. Yount has made a good commirsioner and that his word will go in this matter before the word of Parrtsh, the voluble witness.

Miss Helen Kimbef is anxious that the women of Kansas should vote and she sends the following ta the State Journal for publication: In the upper branch of our legisla ture this winter some senator said: "Many Kansas women do not use the privilege already accorded them of vot ing, hence all Kansas women, -whether they live in town or country should be denied the right. This excuse ia 'unjust and untenable but do you not see that you, by refrain ing from use of this sacred privilege, are allowing yourself to be the stumb ling block in the path of advancement and civilization? Even more than that: while this is used as an excuse it is the cause of an arbitrary rule compeiiir.; thousands of women who desire to help bear their responsibility in the state's life and development from thus doinji so. Kansas is entitled to the best of all of her people not half of them. If you will register and vote this spring it will prove your appreciation of your state and your country's love and remove yon as the rock upon which citizenship is denied four hundred thousand citizens of Kansas Registration, books close about March 20th.

Nii 1012 Lima St., says: "I have tad kidney com plaint for five years, in fact ever sinca I came to Topeka, and attributed it to there being so much alkali in the water. The pain in my back was some thing awful, and I often thought it would break in two when I stooped. I could not lift anything and to run a sewing machine was out of the question. At one time I suffered so aetuteiy I thought I would sooner be dead than la such misery .The kidney secretions wei a of a dark and muddy color and their too frequent action disturbed my rest. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Row ley Snow's drug store and their treatment gave me more relief and com fort than I bad during five years. The pain in my loins and swelling of my limba passed away along with the other troubles." i i i Quincy St. Mr. C. T. Sehumaker, No.. 423 Quincy St., painter by trade, employed by L. O. Burns, No. 513 Kansas ave.,says: "I suf fered with a lame back and kidney trouble for six months in the winter of 1898, and was so bad I could not sleep. Many a night I arose and sat in a chair for the balance of the night. The pain was just like a knife going through my back, and I cannot describe how much I suffered. I tried different kinds of remedies, but received little benefit un til I procured Doan'a Kidney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug store. The prompt -relief they gave me was won derful. I was cured before I had taken all of one box. It is a pleasure to rec ommend a remedy which does all that is claimed for it."

R. engineer be tween Fort Worth and Texarkana. I have often when I stooped to oil my en gine suffered excruciatingly, and when on the engine the least jar sent twin ges of pain clean from my loins to the top of my head. The trouble finally forced me to give up my position, and when weakness of the kidneys, partic ularly observable at night, was added to former troubles, my condition was not one to be envied. Now if the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Rowley Snow's drug store, corner of Sixth street and Kansas avenue, had not brought me positive relief I never would have followed up the treatment, neither could I be induced to recom mend the preparation nor endorse its claims. Send anyone to me for minute particulars of my experience with and opinions of Doan's Kidney Pills." Madison St. Mr. O. Halterman, of No. 233 Madison street, says: T am getting pretty well along in years. "When employed at the Thompson Hardware Co. I was compell ed to give up my position on account of my health failing. A dull aching exist ed over my kidneys, accompanied with a weakness of the bladder, so bad that the secretions from the kidneys were not under control and my. rest was greatly disturbed nights. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised 'and procured them at Rowley Snow's drug store, corner Sixth street and Kansas avenue. The treatment relieved me of my trouble In a remarkably short time and there has been no recurrence since."

Marcus Meyer Spent Months With Only Sheep For Companions. Tacoma, Wash., March 6. For over ten years Marcus Meyer has acted as sheep herder in the Yakima valley, there being months at a stretch when he would not see a human being. Satur day he was committed to the asylum at Walla Walla, it being the unanimous opinion of the directors that he was driven insane by the solitude to which he was subjected during the long- sea sons in the hills with, no companionship but the sheep. He was a Frenchman and had considerable money in the bank. The mania of the insane man was that he was being pursued by the king of France and that if caught he would be beheaded by the guillotine.

The World-Herald publishes a letter signed Pat Crowe, postmarked at Denison, Iowa. Chief of Police Donahue pronounces the letter authentic, he being familiar with Crowe's handwriting, and also further bases his opinion upon certain state ments contained in the letter made to him in confidence by Pat Crowe at Chi cago last May. The chief says the let ter is in substance the same as that re ceived by Mr. Cudahy recently, in which a proposition to surrender was made by Crowe. The letter in part is as follows: "I am innocent of the Cu dahy kidnaping. I am not a fugitive from justice I am a fugitive from in justice. I originally intended to tell Mr. Cudahy in person that I did not kidnap- his son, but changed my mind, as sentiment was too strong against me. I wrote Mr. Cudahy a letter three weeks ago and among other things asked him to make the letter public. It contained nothing but what the public shou.d have knownn were it intended that I should get a square deal. I would give myself up,. as I am innocent, but I ait', afraid of injustice." The writer refers to his past life and of the many trumped-up charges against him. and then says: "Mr. Cudahy and Chief Donahue have befriended me, therefore I am sor ry the way things are." Crowe scores the Pinkerton agency, and in conclu sion says: "If Cudahy offered $1,000,000 he could not flush me. I am out to stay." IRISHMAN WAS SMOOTH. Gave a Greek Prestidigitator a Jolly Bun Por a EilL New Tork, March 6. A Greek who has been performing feats of legerdemain on the East side came to grief last night in a saioon at Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue. He had drawn wire nails from his eye, had taken a ring f-om an apple, and dug a glass of beer out of the cheese on the lunch counter, and his admirers wanted something new. Standing at the bar was a big Irish man, who had enjoyed the performance as much as anybody, and it was sug gested that it would be a good idea to have a little fun with him. The pre stidigitator was willing and, taking hold of a small bundle which the Irishman had under his arm, he Inquired what was in it, remarking that folks caver knew what valuables they were carry ing about. "Aw, g'wan," said the Hibernian. "There's nothing in there, barring a 39 cent shirt I'm afther buyin' up the aveney." The Greek protested that it would be well to see, and, unwrapping the parcel, showed what he could do by pulling a five-dollar bill out of the pocket of the shirt. Nobody was better pleased than the owner of the shirt. He ordered a round of drinks for the crowd, but when the Greek tried to pocket the five -dollar bill the Irisman grabbed it. The magician tried to explain, but received a right hand wallop on the jaw, and the Irish man, tucking the shirt under his arm, and putting the bill in his pocket, ran for the Long Island ferry. He was a sprinter, and he had passed through the gates and was moving into the stream on a ferry boat when his pursuers ar rived. The crowd returned to the saloon, and the Greek tried to collect from the pro prietor. The bartender retaliated by informing iiim that some one had to pay $1.40 for a round of drinks. Ser geant Raner, at the East Thirty-fifth street police station, who was appealed to, declined to interfere in the dispute, so it was left without agreement. Germans to the Porte's Relief. Cgnstantinople, March 6. It is stated here that an important German syndi cate has offered the porte a loan of three million pounds Turkish to be guaran teed by the proceeds of a six per cent surtax on the taxes of the empire and a two per cent surtax on inland customs duties. The loan is conditional upon fu ture orders for arms and ammunition to be given to German firms. i DROPPED OYER DEAD. Thought of Going to the Poorhouse Broke His Heart. New Tork, March 6. The haunting dread of Henry Simmons' late years was that he miht be forced to end his days in the poorhouse. He had reached the age of 90, and was helpless and friendless and poor, and the fear of the almshouse constantly grew upon him: but he de clared that he would never become an inmate of it. They should never take him there. But an officer went yester day to carry him away. "Come and take a walk," he said to the old man, not wanting him to know, and Simmons, unsuspecting, went along. They walked to the railway station, and as a train drew in the officer asked the conductor: "Do you stop at the poorhouse sta tion?" The question revealed all to the aged man. He was being taken to the poor house. "Oh," he moaned, "have I got to go there?" and pressing his hands to his head, fell dead. It was a broken hearty everybody says, broken by the dread of the poorhouse. Ex-Ambassador TJhl Sick. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 6. Ed win F.

Mif;s Anna Mason, assistant postmistress at Lopez, this county, proved herself to be a young woman of sterling mettle Friday morn ing. As is her custom, she went into the postofiice before daybreak to make up an early mail. As she tinned toward the safe after lighting a lamp she wan startled by a man who stood within five feet of- her, with a pistol drawn upon her. His hnt was pulled down over his eyes. Quick as a Hash Miss Mason dodg'd behind a case, from which a moment later she fired from a pistol, which she always kept handy, the bullet piercing the man. Then she -discovered that the man was a "dummy," fixed up to frighten her. The bullet she fired went squarely through the left breast of the figure. Death of T. W. Good. Denver, Colo., March 6.
