IVilO SHALL IT BE Major Question Depends Upon Today's Hearing. Parker Mandamus Case Is Be fore Judge Hazen. DISPUTE THE TALLIES. Poll Books Are Produced In Court lioorn. City Clerk Squires Is the First Witness Examined. Mr. Warner Says a Tally Sheet lias Been Altered. The hearing of the mandamus case to compel the city council to issue a certificate as mayor to Albert Parker began before Judge Hazen at 9 o'clock this morning'. The attorneys on the two sides made the statements of their positions to the tourt. The same contentions were made In the statements as in the arguments for and against the motion to quasi the mandamus. The attorneys for Al bert Parker claimed that the poll books were irregular and that on the fa.ee of the returns Parker had been elected by a majority of 11 votes. The attorneys for Colonel Hughes contended that the tallies showed Hughes to be elected hi fi votes. "Xo objection was made by the at torneys for Mr. Parker about counting the tallies until the first precinct of the Second ward was reached," said Judge Carver. "I was there," interrupted David Overmjer. "I know what was done. "I suggest that the attorney he al lowed to make his argument," cried Judge Kedden. "Gentlemen," said Judge Hazen as lie rapped for order, "the court will attend to this without so many interruptions." Judga Hazen asked Jujge Oarver what li had to say and how he ac counted for there being more votes cast in the third precimt of the Third ward than th number of names written In the book by the clerks. "I hardly know' said Judge Harver. Commissioner of Elections Willams 13 anions the witnesses and brought into court with him the poll books of the precincts in question. David Overmyer replied to Judge Gar ver. He said: "I was present at the myelins; of the council and I remember torn things that happened. "We always contended that the totals and not the tallies should be taken. We found in one precinct that a clerk had failed to make his marks exactly together but that smould be counted. That was different for the tallies were kept in a legibie manner, We objected to the taking of the tallies when the council came to tallies which were unintelligible." It was 9:45 when City Clerk Squires was called as the first witness. Judge Hazen announced that the question before the court was on the two precincts whose returns were in contention. Judge Garver said he expected to have ail precincts looked into. "I don't consider anything before the court except those two precincts," said Judge Hazen. "We don't object to look ing Into, the returns from other pre cincts," said Mr. Overmyer. "We will see if it is necessary," an nounced the court, "but we don't want anything before the court except what is necessary." City Clerk Squires wa3 placed on the witness stand. Mr. Squires explained about his re ceiving the returns the night of election and how the council canvassed the re turns. The returns from the first precinct of the Second ward were placed in evidence The sheet was laid on the fable and the attorneys crowded around it eager to have a close view. The attorneys spent quite a long time examining the book "After the canvass was gone through with what was done with these re turns?" asked Mr. Overmyer. "The committee made some endorse ment on the tack." rep'ied Mr. Squires. "Was it a fact that when first looked et that a dispute arose?" "Yes." The notation was by Councilman War rer and Chancy that the returns were to be examined again. "Is this paper in the same condition as Kvhen handed back to vou?" "Yes." The returns from the third precinct of the Third ward were produced.The same rotation was made on thebaekason th3 the other return placed In evidence. Considerable time was spent as befora by the attorneys in examining the re turns. During the time taken up with the viewing of the returns of the judges John Jones, one of the colored poii-tii-ians of Col. Hughes' camp edged be tween Hughes' attorneys and viewed the pheet from a scientific political stand point. "We o-ffer this unintelligible sheet," eaid Mr. Overmyer. "Weil, -we object to any of Mr. War ner's comments." interrupted Judge Garver. "The endorsement is signed by W. S. Cha and P. Hound tree," said Mr Overmyer, which brought a laugh from the audience. Mr. Squires read from the minutes of the meeting of the council when the council met as a board of canvassers. Mr. Squires read from the report of the committee that they found for Mr. Hughes 6 :4 i votes and for Mr. Parker J and tkat the male vote received by Hughes was 3.145 and the female vote 2.1s-i The male vote for Parker 4.Vji and the female vote for Parker 2.13. "Is it a fact that there was a dispute in the committee in reference to two precincts whether the tallies or the Judges' figures should be taken?" was asked. "There -was," replied Mr. Squires. "Who was asked?" "The city attorney. t "What did the city attorney say?" "He said that the marks should be counted." "That if there was a dispute the tallies houid govern?" "Yes." "Were any remarks made by the com mittee that they were unabie to deter mine the result of the returns?" opefta State 3ournal. INDEX OF TODAY'S PAPER. SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1901.

"Yes" Mr. Overmyer suggested that the -turns from ail precincts be placed in evidence and Judge Hazen held that for the present at least that he had nothing before him but the two dis puted precincts. "I will not urge but I think they should be in evidence," said Mi. Over mver. "Well, if both sides wish It," said Judge Hazen. "We object," said Judge Garver. MR WARNER TESTIFIES.

CLEVELAND HARD HIT. Cut Off From Communication With Outer World. Snow Fourteen Inches Deep in Kentucky. Chicago, April 20. Telegraphic com munication with all" points east o' Cleveland has been cut oft early this morning by a storm which extend3 from Canada to Tennessee and east to the Atlantic coast. A heavy. wet snow driven by a gale has played havoc with wires and poles and both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies report a complete suspension of bus iness to the seaboard. Heroic efforts have been made to reach New York by way of Atlantic coast lines and via Winnepeg and the Canadian Pacific route, but thus far without success. Of ficials here fear that this storm -will cripple wire equipment worse than for several years past. OHIO STORM SWEPT. Snow, Driven by Fierce Wind, Pros trates tha Wires. Cleveland,' April 20. Northern Ohio was today swept by a fierce storm of wind and snow that prostrated tele graph and telephone wires in all direc tions. The w ind came north and during the early hours of the day reached a ve locity of 55 miles an hour. Ail telegraph communication "was severed between Cleveland and points east and sonth. A few wires were patched up to the west but even these were reported to be working slowly. In some respects the storm was the worst experienced during the entire winter. The heavy wet snow came down In blinding sheets and the streets In this city were covered with slush almost ankle deep. Traffic on many street car lines was badly delayed. Telegraph or telephone poles were blown down across the tracks and the trolley wires badly tangled up. The police and fire alarm wires were also carried down and some sections of the city were cut off from communication with 'the lire and police signal exchanges. Out of more than a hundred wires connecting Cleveland and Buffalo, not one was in working order during the early, hours of today. The conditions between Cleveland and Pitts burg, it was said, were equally bad. Telegraph and telephone officials de clared that the storm has been the most destructive experienced In a long time. The long distance telephone lines were reported down in every direction, there being no communication with any out side point. It will undoubtedly be many days be fore full repairs can be made to the telegraph and long distance telephone service. Many poles are prostrated, causing Innumerable breaks in the wires. The electric lighting companies shut off their current in some parts of the city owing to the general mix up of wires. Notwithstanding this precaution, how ever, a number of persons received se vere shocks and several horses were killed. James White, a contractor, stepped on a live wire on Broadway and was rendered unconscious. He was badly burned. On the same thorough fare a horse stepped on a wire covered with slush and was Instantly killed. Subsequently two other horses were killed by coming in contact with live wires near the corner of Broadway and Wilson avenue. Traffic on nearly all the steam roads entering the city was delayed to a more or less extent. In many places the tracks were reported to be buried under deep plush and it was found impossible to make schedule time. Lake Erie was lashed into a wild fury by the violent storm. Enormous waves dashed over the harbor break water, sending up spray to the height of a hundred feet or more. A crib 200 feet long and about 23"feet wide, which was anchored at the end of the east breakwater preparatory to being sunk was torn from its fasten ings and driven ashore inside the west breakwater. The crib crashed into the west pier, but tittle damage resulted. Information from the surrounding country district indicated that the storm was of unusual violence and wrought much damage. In many places the snow is reported a foot deep on the level and the roads have been rendered almost impassable by huge drifts. Electric railways connectingCleveland with near by towns found it almost im possible to operate cars. Some lines were completely tied up. COLl'lIBUS ISOLATED. Columbus, O.. April 2o. The storm has cut off communicati or. by rail with all eastern points. Pennsylvania trains from New York due here kt 7 a. m., had not arrived et noon. Special trains were made up at Columbus to make connec tions with St. Louis, Cincinnati and In dianapolis. The Pennsylvania company was the only railroad having a line open east of Columbus and that reached only to Trinway, O. At Dennison, O., eleven inches of snow is reported. Locally large gangs of linemen- were kept busy ail day repairing damage done bv the high wind. RAIN AND SNOW FOR TWO DAYS. Portsmouth, O.. April 20. Rain and snow have been steadi'V falling here for two days and still continues. The Ohio river is rising eight inches an hour and a serious flood is feared. SNOW IN KENTUCKY. London. Ky.. April 20. For 24 hours snow has been falling over eastern Kentucky and has reached a depth of fourteen inches. The mountain streams are all full to the banks and people liv ing upon them are moving out as when the snow goes off the floods will sweep everything near the waters and great suffering is being endured by those mov ing out. The old citizens have never witnessed the like. Great damage has alreadv been done to timber. HIGH WIND AT ATLANTA. Atlanta. Ga., April 20. The storm which last night caused a general dis turbance over parts of Kentucky, Ten nessee," Alabama and Florida has moved to the northeast and today is being felt in eastern North Carolina. Snow fell in Tennessee and Kentucky and rain in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. In At lanta the winds have beeal abnormally high for 24 hours, a maximum velocity of 56 miles being reported this morning. The temperature has fallen 40 degrees and reports received today indicate that some damage has been done to small gardening. The weather bureau predicts frost for North Georgia tonight. The telegraph companies are seriously handicapped by the loss of w ires in ev ery direction. .5 SNOWED FOR 36 HOURS. Zanesville, O., April 20. A blizzard Is raging here and all street car traffic and business generally has been suspended. Telegraph and telephone lines are crip pled and there is practically no com munication with outside points. Snow has fallen for 6 hours continually and all the streets are blocked. M Reports received from the northern part of the Muskingum, valley indicate that very high water is imminent. TEMPATURE BELOW FREEZING. Louisville, Ky., April 20. Reports from all over Kentucky shw that last night .and today the temperature was lower than in any corresponding time in ten years. Snow fell all through the mountain section and the temperature was below freezing point at a number of places. The coldest weather was felt in the Blue Grass section, the best fruit growing regions in the state. .Serious damage, it is feayed, was caused not alone to young frui.t but to vegetable and tobacco crops. LOG BOO if 3 SWEPT AWAY. Huntington, W. Va., April 20. The Big Sandy, Twelve Pole, Guyandotte. Tug .and New rivers are at flood tida. Great suffering is reported. All the "eg booms in Guyandotte and all the tribu taries of the Big Sandy have been swept away causing an enormous loss. Fifteen inches of snow has fallen in West Vir ginia mountains and 5 inches through out the Ohio valley. SIXTYTRAINS. That Many Specials Haul Eng lishmen to a Football Game. London, April 20. War and politics have taken a back seat for the day throughout the United Kingdom, where the sole absorbing topic of. national im portance is the great football match at Crystal Palace, for the possession of the Association Cup. The Sheffield United and the Tottenham Hotspurs, are the two teams competing in the final. The extraordinary interest annually shown in the contest' is heightened by the fact that not only is today's battle between the north and the south but that it is 20 years since a London club figured in the final. The Influx f rem the provinces to Lon don beats all records. Sixty special trains emptied Into London thousands of enthusiasts from all parts of the provinces and bewildered commandoes of northerners traveled all night long without sleep to witness the game. It is safe to say that 60.000 provincials of all sorts and conditions arrived in. the metropolis this morning and proceeded in a steady stream toward Crystal Pal ace. With London's o.uota, 100,000 is u moderate estimate of the number of spectators who will witness the game. That Gargantuan feasting is anticipated has been gathered from perusal of a few principal Items of the edibles pre pared at the palace, which includes 20 cattle, 50 sheep. 600 fowls, 22.400 -pounds of potato.es, 10,000 pork pies and less substantial articles sufficient for an army corps. NOTJjUILTY, Fourth Man Tried For Goebel Murder Is Acquitted. Frankfort, Ky., April 20. The jury in the case of Captain Garnet Ripley, charged with being In a conspiracy which resulted in the assassination of Wm. Goebel today rendered a verdict of not guilty after being out only a short time. The defendant was immed iately surrounded by friends and con gratulated. Although the jury was out. two hours most of the time was taken up in dis cussing the case in the Jury room. Only two ballots were taken. On the first ballot ten jurors voted "not guilty" and two voted guilty. The two who voted guilty said they believed the evidence showed him connected with the con spiracy, bfit when they learned that either a life imprisonment sentence, or the death sentence must be imposed and that a shorter sentence would not be permissible, they voted with the major ity for an acquittal. The verdict in the Ripley case is gen erally approved, though it was a sur prise aa it was generally predicted there would be a hung jury. Captain Ripley is the fourth one of the alleged Goebel susjects to be tried. The Jury in the Ripley case was com posed exclusively of Democrats. The matter of a requisition for the return of ex-Governor W. S. Taylor from In diana for trial is again a theme of pop ular speculation, but commonwealth's Attorney Franklin refuses to discuss it and up to noon today n application for extradition papers had been filed. BOYS BURIED IN SAND. Four Perished and One Dug Sis Way Out. Guthrie, O. T., April 20. While play ing in a sand bank near Durant, I. T.. five boys were buried by a cave in.

George Findlay Episode May Be Turning Point. LOOK OUT FOR CURTIS. He May Pluck Some of Junior Senator.'s Renown. How Frank Grimes Has "Re tired From Politics." An open break in the "splendid organ ization" that was exrected to be built up around the success of the new sena tor is looked forward to in the not far distant future. Things have been point ing that way ever since the election of the board of railroad commissioners and the rustling for the appointment of the pension commissioner, which was allot ted to Kansas began, which two inter esting events happened about the same time. All this mixed up with the federal ap pointments that are coming along serv ed to make" trouble with a big T for Sen ator Burton. The reckoning must come soon. Some say it will be next week. The seers read the handwriting on the wall in the turning down of George Findlay for the revenue collectorship. Senator Burton stands to make himself ridiculous by doing that and appointing J. M. Simpson, after the futile efforts to place Findlay somewhere else and he all the while holding the promise, serene because he had been the casus belli of the senator's winning fight. This alone, as some see it, will prove Burton's undoing. The First district, none too friendly now, would be inclined to step in with Curtis fcr the next sena tor.. Curtis is aggressive and active. Alongside of Burton in the senate. Bur ton's ambition to be the most effective as well as the most conspicuous would be shattered. There is growing all the time also the strength of the astkBur tonites, since the recent successes in combat. A whisper also goes the rounds that Stanley and Cy L?Iand have form ed an alliance, which will not be partic ularly pleasing to B,urton's interests. The governor misses no chance to get a footing, with his appointments, so he can go before the legislature with a strong following next time. Stanley would not suit Burton for a colleague because the governor is a speechmaker of good timber and an adept in looking out for number one. There is an en tanglement of a alliances clouding the political horizon just now, and while a rest is being taken for business on top, the bubbles are seething underneath. Lit Crum hasn't been seen around the Copeland for three weeks. This is a long while for him to be missed when there is as much doing in politics as there i3 now over the federal appoint ments and with him one of the ap-polntess-to-be. It has been so long that it begins to look as if he was going to keep his partingi announcement. Crum made his disappearing act right after the election of the board of railroad commissioners. He w?s sore. He did not know what to make of that deal, couldn't comprehend how it was possi ble for Orie Morse to be left out on a limb and scouted the idea when it was given to him that the deal was fixed a half hour before the last ballot was taken. The council did it though and Crum went away vowing not to show up again for eight months, which would, by the calendar, be about the time that the term of the United States marshal expires. Copeland county misses Lit direfuliy as the game isn't half so much fun without him and the gang is plot ting between times to lure him back. They are talking of getting up another candidate against him for the marshal -ship as a bait. State Treasurer Frank Grimes has been having the unique pleasure for a week of receiving congratulations up,n his announced retirement from politics. Business men have commended him for the sagacity displayed in quitting the game and turning to something more solid. The point that he makes that it is a life of suspense, anxiety and care and that if he would devote the energy and enterprise to business that he has displayed in politick he would be much better off is the one that counts. WAile Crimes thinks he is sincere in stepping down and clear out. after his term c.s state treasurer is ended. his friends don't believe in it any more than his political foes think his retirement cuts any great figure anyhow. The latter say the wis dom displayed is that Grimes has gone as far as he can anyway. Mr. Grimes wants people to -look upon anything more that he shall have to do w ith poli tics to be understood to be in the name of pure patriotism. He is to be disinter ested in the future. When he .does this or does that, it is not with the hope of gain to himself, but to help his friends because they are his friends and not in order to get something out of them. He would be consulting attorney, with the fellows crowding around him to be told what to do, like Dave Mulvane. Grimes has retired twice before. The first time he gave up politics was when he was register of deeds of Wichita county. He promised Mrs. Grimes that if he was only re-elected he would quit politics. He got back in again and then he promised that if he made his second term as representative he would quit. After that he came back in again and made the state treasurcrship. He prom ised again that if he got his second tern he would retire. This is the promise that he i3 keeping now. Will it prove final? Time alone will tell. The Populists have found through the canvass carried on through their of ficial paper that the sntinien; of their adherents Is all one-sided for a rever sion to a straight people's party vith a straight ticket and general declarations that a double-barrelled machine won't work. William Brown's tetimir.ial was one of the odd ones: "I served four years in the rebel amy under General R. E. Lee, but I am not fool enough to say or even hint at such a move as to go into the Democratic party." They ci.Il him "Uncle Billy Brown" down in Ber ber county, at Euon, where he livis. The Populists go merrily on with their declared intention of running their par ty on he principles that they intend t't advocate for state government, 'iney are going to select the symbol for their party ticket by the referendum method next. The state central committee will take all the suggestions thnt the breth ren desire to submit, select a represent ative half-dozen and then have a cou pon vote to determine which shall be the official emblem. If "Foghorn" Funston of revered memory had not already corr.ered the bauble of renown and since relapsed to private life and semi-obscurity, Judge Ellis of the supreme court mif-'ht. mfike some pretensions to loud-voiced fame. Aa It is. he may not come in under the highest rating, but near it. There is a story told of him, however, which, though it happened some years a?o, id worth repeating. The court hoMse a Oberlin is half a mile from town. It may be more. One day the people of the town became alarned at a racket that emanated from the temple of jus tice and was wafted over to the town. Several citizens got the idea that there was serious trouble of some kind on hand and a riot call was sent around The citizens armed themselves with axes, ropes, buckets and every fool weapon or emergency implement that was handy and proceeded to inveti gate. On the way to the court house the clamor did not abate, but grew in volume as they drew near. Some of the weak-kneed dropped out. The bolder spirits continued on and came up to the entrance. A bailiff met the motley crowd at the door, locking it be hind him because of the hostile appear ance of the approaching army. The crowd wanted In and resented the on position of the bailiff. Some wanted to take him out and hang him. "There's a riot here and we demand entrance!" yelied the leader. The bailiff protested there was no riot, but the men heird the rumble and roar continuing within the court room and insisted that there was. The bailiff still demurred thit there was no call for this demonstra tion, that there was nothing unusual going on. "What's the matter then?" asked an excited citizen of the storm ing party, "what's al! this noise about'" "That- The bailiff was iriten upte by another outburst from within that fell upon the sudden stillness lika th roar of a belching volcano. "Oh! that's only Abe Ellis taking judgment by de fault:" Simpson's claim upon Burton for the place that had been early ooreedd t" George Findlay is on an undiscoverable basis. Had Simpson been a Burton man like some of the others since the butter fell out of the well, it would be possible to understand his present hold. The terms of his fealty to the Abilene man, as gossip tells it, are different from the price that is put upon it now. It if. said that his candidacy is an afterthought pure as crystal. His agree-nent with Senator Burton is said to have been that the senator should use his best offices to secure the advancement of his son, who is an employe of the postal depart ment at $1,200 a year. The place, which Joe Bristow aided in giving him. Is a nominal one and the young man I studying law on the side. Simpson got the promise of advancement for hs son and kept on talking and wound up the senator into a promise for himself for the collectorship, in some way or other. There seems no other way of under standing why, with Simpson's early mention and strength for a place n the railroad commission, he should switch off and go after Findlay's promised place, unless he fepred the antagonism of the Albaugh-Lelandites bcoa-ise o' his bcs-buster proclivities in the dy? gone by and the desire that every nan has of getting a better job if he cnn. The action has brought things up to the position of an open break instead of pacifying things. When Burton turns down F'indlay he turns down George Clark, secretary of state, one of his earliest and staunchest adherents, and forces .Mm into another crcwd. SAWED THEIR WAY OUT Four Prisoners Escape From Rawlins, Wyo., Jail. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 20. Orlo Mc Swain and James McMahon, charged With murder and Ed Martin and Albert Propst charged with assault and rob bery, participated In a daring Jail de- Jivery at Rawlins last night by sawing their way out of the county jail after Saving assaulted the Jailer, locked him in a cell and secured his gun.

Mrs. White Found Her Boy at School and Induced Him to Leave. Several years ago the family of Mr. and-ilrs. J. R Miller of 113 East Fourth street took a boy to raise w ho, he rays, was deserted by' his mother, a Mrs. White. On Wednesday the mother went to Lincoln school and persuaded the boy to leave the school to live with her in Kansas City. Since that time no trace of the lad, who is now ten years old, can be found. The boy. after being deserted at the age of 2 years, lived with his grand mother, a Mrs. Lydia Campbell, for sev eral years until her death. At that time Mr. Miller took him.

Is Testing the Lasting Quail ties of "Pickled" Ties. PLANS TO ECONOMIZE. Three Tie-Pickling Plants AI ready Supplying the Iioad. Twenty-seren Greeks Go to Work at Atchison. The Santa Fe has begun an interest ing experiment, in trying to ascertain something definite regarding the lasting qualities of railroad ties as affected by certain chemicals applied until the wood is thoroughly saturated by them. In general this idea of economy is not a new one with the railroad people. More than two years ago th5 Santa Fe began shipping large quantities of ties that had been chemically treated, into thi3 state. These "pickled" ties seem to have been more or less of a success since so many of them were put down on th Kansas lines of that system. But they are not so much of a success that it is impossible to improve upon them in some way. This is what is being under taken in the present trial. A cylinder large enough to contain two or three tics is connected with two reservoirs, hold ing respectively steam supplied from an engine boiler, and a solution of chemi cals. The steam and chemicals are forced into the cylinder at once, the moisture hastening tb.3 process. After receiving sufficient treatment the ties taken out and buried in different kinds of gravel and ballast. The gravel and bal last will be kept moistened with warm water, thus again hastening artificially the natural process of decomposition The tests are to be catefully conducted and every result will be noted with the intention of using it for reference in the luture. There are three tie-pickling plants al ready turning out ties for the Santa Fe, One is at PurcelL I. T., another in Tex as, and a third in New Mexico. Two are operated by private parties while the third is a Santa Fe institution. All have been treating the ties in such a way as was believed to render them impervious to insects; and as stated above, all have been partially successful. The ties so treated are being studied closely, but there are reasons why more thorough tests, should be made; so the present plan was decided upon. Railroads have not been the last to note the rapid disappearance of the great forests, the source whence they obtained their lumber and tie material. A few years ago the Memphis forestall ed a famine of this sort by putting out thousands of young trees of the proper variety for the best ties. But at be&t this would not provide for sudden em ergencies that might arise in the lum ber or tie situation. The plan of th3 Santa Fe is to economize by increasing the lasting qualities of that which it has. As an example of what a hold steel is getting for general use it is only nec essary to remember that wooden ties are being replaced altogether by those of metal. Likewise, in locomotive and car construction steel is largely taking the place of wood. Engine cabs of steel are by no means exceptional, and the new pressed steel cars contain but little timber. The tie-pickling experiment of the Santa Fe will be watcned with much in terest by those who have thought ser iously concerning a. possible scarcity of wood. i GREEKS AT ATCHISON. Twenty-seven to "Work in a Stone Quarry. 'Atchison, April 20. Twenty-seven Greeks arrived from Kansas City to work at the Jim Waggener quarry,south of town. They w-iil live in boarding cars at the quarry, after the fashion of the Italians, who are working on the Mis souri Pacific track. The quarry has an order from the Missouri Pacific for thirty-five cars of crushed rock daily, and a sufficient force of men could not be secured here. Both crushers will be worked, and a force of nearly a hundred men will be necessary. The men will receive $1.50 a day. They were accom panied to Atchison by D. C. O'Keefe, of Kansas City, and William Casten, a Greek leader of Chicago who makes a business of importing Greeks and hir- A very pretty custom obtains among cer tain classes by which -the newly married pair starts a savings bank for- the child yet to be. Bvery day a penny or a dime, as the case may be, is dropped into the bank to swell the fund, and this practice is kept up until the child is old enough to save for itself. The parents have the right theory but bow rarelv thev H- "v carry to its broad W ,T5r-i est application. IT 1 i; Rvpr mother i peyforce laying up for her child what money cannot in fluence happiness or misery. The nervous mother will have a nervous child. The irrita ble and fearful mother cannot have a happy and cheerful child. In mind and body the child will reflect the mother's condition. The best preparation for motherhood is made by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription. Its perfect control over the sensitive feminine organism gives it a natural influence over the mind. It ban ishes anxiety and fear. It dors away with the misery of morning sickness. It gives vitality and elasticity to the organs pecu liarly feminine, and makes the trial of motherhood easy and brief. It makes healthy mothers, capable of nursing and nourishing the babes they bring into the world. "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant- Accept no substitute. Mrs. Axel Kjer, of Gordocville. Cape Girar dau Co., Mo., writes: When I look at my littie boy I feel it my duty to write to you. Per haos some one will see my testimony and be led" to use your Favorite Prescription and be blessed in the same way. This is mv fifth child and the only one who" came to maturity the others having died from lack of nourishment so the doctor said. I was cot sickiv in any way and this time I just thought X would try your Prescription.' I took nine bottles and to my surprise it carried me through, and gave us as fine a little boy as ever was. W eighed ten and one-half pounds. He is now five months old, fcas-never been sick a day. and is so strong that everybody who sees hira wonders at him. He is so playful and holds himself up so well. I would like to see this in print for so manv have asked me, Do you think these are the testimonials of the people, or has Dr. Pierce jtist made them up and printed them Dr. Pieroe'3 Plcasut Pellets cure biUoas oesa ing them out. Casten claims Greeks make the best laboring men-in the world,4 being sober and steady. He says they will hold a job as long as there is a semblance of the article left. He says he has been furnishing Greek laborers for a number of years, and that the de mand for them is rapidly increasing, and he is constantly importing them. It is said that Greek and Italian leaders who import their native countrymen, have great power. The leaders always keep in touch with the laborers who de pend on them and will do almost any thing they say. Corporations or firms, which want to hire laborers, figure with the leaders and not with the flock. PASSENGER MEETING OVER.

"The state house officials have united with the members of the reception com mittee and are urging as strongly :is possible a change that will nllov the president to remain in Topeka at least half a day." ALHAUGU'S COMMENTS. Compares Frank Grimes Retirement With That of Washington. According to Mort Albaugh, PtP.te Treasurer Frank Grimes has laced his name alongside of those most innortal in American history for their sl.iles manship by ilia melodramatic retire ment from politics. Mort enlarges upon his idea in his paper, the Kingman Leader-Courier, this week in thest words: "It is an old-time custom for great and good men who have done wonder ful things in their country's pervke, up on their approaching retirement to pri vate life, to prepare typewritten cop'es of the announcement of the fact and have the- same published along with their pictures in the leading daily news papers. George Washington, the fath er of our country, great in war, great in peace, great everywhere, set the ex ample. Henry Clay, the great com moner, after years of public service ir. both the house and the senate, after a record all could emulate but none excel, followed in his footsteps. Frank Grines is the latest. Sunday's papers conta'n ed his announcement, likewise his pic ture, and the people are told that after January. 1803 they must endeavor, some war. some how, to run the ship of state -without his assistance. They may fail, but they will never cease to revere him for giving thef this timely warning." Runiinag-e Sale, Books and prints, today at 411 Kansas avenue.

Jim Jeffries as "Sam King, the Sheriit of Three Forks, Montana," was the bright particular star shining forth on the Crawford stage just 24 hours after Stuart Robson as "Tony Lumpkin" in Goldsmith's classic ccmedy. Jeffries' play, "A man from the West," is not a classic, it is an up-to-date heroic drama with plenty of plot and counter plot aid a sufficiency of shooting and stabbin?. And Jeffries, as the sheriff, was always "Johnny on the spot." As big a man aa Jeffries might be ex pected to have a voice of considerable size. He hasn't the prize medal high squeaky voice of the arena. He talked somewhat through his nose and a blind man would suppose Jeffries to be about in the featherweight class. Jeffries talked in the regular pug ver nacular. His every motion and every word was imported direct from the ring or the Bowery. "I kin rid' de wil'est bronco dat wuz eber cinched an" face de grizzily alon' but I navah cud make luf f er woman," is a pretty good example of what the sheriff had to say and how he said it. The pugilistic thesptans do not set any very high standard but Jeffries holds the palm. He is the best of the pug ac tors. Of course his part was very heroic and he always arrived Just in time to shout "Trow up yer ban's," but the ma jority of the audience seemed to enjoy it immensely. The poorest feature of the whole af fair was the sparring match between Jim and Jack Jeffries There was no sparring nor boxing to it. Jack struck at Jim and let Jim duck and then Jim would slap Jack arourd the stage and smile as he did it. There was no scienf.3 to it and the audience was disappointed. The audience was regaled with many references to Mrs. Nation. During the sparring "the hatchet" blow was an nounced and the Irish comedian then ventured the remark t.at he was going to Medicine Lodge to start a brewery. The man who ran the balloon at the side show offered a "free ticket to see Mayor Hughes" to everyone who took a ride. The play was replete with vulgar songs and remarks and swear words of the one syllable kind were numerous.The comedian sang "The People Really Wondered How He Knew." The sou? originally was sung in "The Burgomas ter" at Chicago. The city council of th w indy village by the lake heard it was a naughty song. They went to hear it. They heard it. They laughed at the Vul garism and then went to the council chamber and ordered that "Burgomas ter" cease singing the song. The order was followed but the next night It was sung at Sam T. Jack's, the Trocodero and all the other recllight theaters of Chicago and it was sung here last night! What if Mayor Drew or Hughes or Parker and the council had been there? What if Mrs. Nation had been in the front row? 0RAT0K3 GO HOME. Sessions of the State Elocutionary As sociation Closed Today.

Is the fact that it cures every form of Piles without one particle of pain. This desirable point is not obtained by the use of injurious opiates which simply deaden and paralyze the nerves of the parts and make matters worse in the long run. But It is done solely by its remarkably healing and soothing effects. And while it thus gives immdiaie relief, at the same time the disease is not merely checked, but a radical cure is rapidly accomplished. And the point we want to make clear is that all this is done without a particle of pain. The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be fore the public too long and its merits recognized by too many people to allow it to be classed with the many salves, suppositories, pills, etc., and you run no risk in trying it. as is often the case with new and untried preparations. If you are ever troubled with any form of piles or rectal disease do not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by Pyra mid Drug Co., Marshall. Mich., and sold by all druggists at 50 cents per package. X Warner"!
