LAST EDITION. THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY 23, 1902, THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. NO SALOONS HERE Mayor Parker Brands as False hood Latest Yellow Story. Denies Emphatically Sensation al Published Statement. TALKED TO KO ONE. Says lie Refused to Be Inter viewed iu Wichita. Wouldn't Go Away From Home to Announce Policy. DIDX'T VISIT JOISTS. Made No Tour Investigating; Wichita System." Says Attack Was Outrageous but Was to Be Expected. "There is not a word of truth in the in terview attributed to me by the Topeka Capital. It is an outrage. It is altogether false. I have not given any interview to Any newspaper reporter since I came to W ichita. I did not visit the joints." This is the emphatic denial which Mayor Parker gives to the sensational fake print ed this morning under a flaring headline five columns wide across the front page. reading "Mayor Parker Says He Will Li cense the Saloons in Topeka." According to the "yellow" story which appeared with the inflated heading. Mayor Parker had told the newspaper Wichita man that he had decided to allow the To peka saloons to run wide open and pay a license. Mayor Parker was quoted as having said: "I am inquiring into the methods of doing business in Wichita and may make use of some of the things in my adminis tration. I am surprised at the amount of Tines the police force here charge the joints, but I guess that is the proper way to handle them. I don't want to talk too much about my plans now." It is further stated in the story that Mayor Parker visited nearly every joint in Wichita last night and inquired in detail ttbout the method of collecting fines and the amount which could be raised from that source. Mayor Parker was called up by long distance telephone from the State Journal office today and asked in regard to the truth of the story. "There is not a word of truth In the story from start to finish. 1 have refused to be interviewed by both the Kate and Beacon reporters and have not talked to a newspaper man since I came to Wichita. All this stuff which is attributed to me is faked by the reporters here. I have not been in a joint since I came to Wichita, and do not expect to go into any of them. Ail the Topeka delega tion, including the city attorney, were shown about the city yesterday, but we visited no joints. "This is an outrageous attack upon me, but what can you expect from that outfit which has been attacking me through the Capital? People of Toin-ka can be sure that I will not come to Wichita to an nounce any 'policies' for my administra tion." The Wichita Beacon prints the story about Mr. Parker with a few fancy frills which add a peculiar element of un reality to the story, provided the reader knows the real .characteristics of Mayor Parker. The Beacon says in part: "Albert Parker, the new mayor of To peka visited practically every joint on Main street and IXiuprlass avenue last ev ening and at each place interviewed the proprietors regarding the license fee they are required to pay to the city. He asked numerous questions about the policy of the Jtresent administration and told William virbaugh. proprietor of the Royal saloon, that he is gathering information so that be will know what revenue to exact from Topeka joints whicli, he said, will be al lowed to run in the future. "Mr. Kirbaugh said that when he told Mr. Parker the amount of the. license he is required to pay, 'the mayor's eyes stuck out like dollars.' All he said was 'Is that a fact?- What policy will you follow out in re gard to the government of the city?" was asked of the r.ew mayor. 'My policy will br to make it a busi ness administration, as the city Is badly in need of one. I do not mean to sav that the city Is bankrupt or anything like that, but on account of paving and other ex penses the finances of the city are in bad shape and must be revived. Further than that I am not ready to give out any plans. 'If Topeka is any criterion bv which the general prosperity of the state may be judged,' said he. 'every man in Kan sas must be looking for a job. I never saw such a horde of office-seekers as has besieged my office during the past week. It is a fact that I thougiit seriously of ad journing to the state house at one time, because my office was entirely too small. 'Yes. I am having trouble over some of my appointments, but I guess everything will come out right in the end. Last Mon day night I appointed a new chief of po lice and eleven new policemen. Several of the city officers have refused to vacate their offices, among them the street com missioner and the city physician.' 'What action do you intend to take in regard to those who do not vacate?' "I don't know yet what 1 will do. I nave, to go slow because eleven of the twelve members of the council are Re publicans, while I am a Democrat. But a majority of the council seems to be with me and will pass favorably on anything I suggest that is for the good of the city. In fact, nine-tenths of the people of To peka are with me. 'In state, county or city institutions they are all for Parker. "The bulk of my plans are as yet im mature. You see I made the race in ten days without any organization and as it was followed by the long contest, in which it was doubtful whether I would secure the office. I have made practically no f lans. This is my second tilt of this kind n 1M3. after a preparation of about the same length of time. I made the race for register of deeds and secured the position. I do not mean to say that I am popular, but then the other side always has a man for the place who is not a good candi date.' It Is unfortunate for the newspaper busi ness that our morning contemporary should print such falsehoods about Tope. ka's mayor and the city. Such statements tend to create a feelirg that the press generally is unfair except when its own policies are advocated or toward its own particular political friends. In the publication today even the head line across live columns made an asser tion which was unwarranted even from the alleged interview, itself untrue The eager presentation of something which Mayor Parker flatly denies saving, shows that the Capital is anxious that the mavor "license saloons" in order that it mav say I told you so" and induce the mavor to adopt a policy which would condemn him and put him in the position of violating his oath of office.

THIS TIME THE CHARM. Lit Crum at Last Sure to Be U, S. Marshal. The third time proved the charm with Littleton S. Crum, who was nominated "Wednesday for United States marsnal. Twice before he has had the office of United States marshal almost with in his grasp, only to see it flee away from him, but the third time, after a long struggle, he has been nominated by the president for the place, ana an that now remains is for the nomination to be confirmed by the senate. The name of Lit Crum has been a familiar one in Kansas politics for ai most thirty years, particularly in the Third congressional district, where lie managed for several years the political fortunes of Bishop W. Perkins. Crum is a native of Kentucky. He was born in that state u6 years ago, but his fa-nily moved to Illinois before the war broke out. Before he was quite 17, in July, 1SG2, he enlisted in the Seventy-seventh Illinois Infantry, and in the three years that he saw service he got mixed up in a number of rights He was wounded at Chickamauga in 1863. but stayed in the army until July 1865. He was at one time captured by the Confederates and kept for some time in Libby prison. He was finally exchanged, and the next day heian aged to get into the battle of Liberty CJap. Crum came to Labette county and settled in Oswego in 1867. He is a har nessmaker by trade, and now owns a harness shop in Oswego, but he has also been In the newspaper business, and has considerable property. He resur rected the Oswego Kegister in 1873, and this brought him the Oswego postoftice in 1S76, and he held that job for several years. It has always been Crum's ambition to be United States marshal, while In- galls was senator from Kansas he promised Crum the job, but another man got the place. When Lucien Baker became senator again Crum was prom lsed the marshalship, and he was very sure of it, and again it failed him. That destroyed Crum's friendship for Baker, and he promptly put on his war paint and blanket, took his tomahawk in hand, and left the Baker reservation. He joined the Burton camp, and Burton promised to give him his ambition. That was months ago. For the past three months it has been announced that Senator Burton was trying to land Crum, and finally he has landed. KILLED AT BATH. Treasurer of Graham Paper Co. Murdered. Deed Was Committed In His Own Establishment. St. Louis, Jan. 23. A. Dean Cooper, the millionaire treasurer of the Graham Paper company, died today as the re sult of an assault in which his skull was fractured while In the cooling room of the Vista Turkish bath house at Grand and Franklin avenues last nighL Wm. Strother. the negro attendant at the bath house, who was on duty last night and who notified Air. cooper s family shortly after midnight of the as sault, is held as a prisoner at the Day ton street police station. A diamond rintr valued at J1.500 and a diamond pin worn by Cooper when he entered the bath were louna in me basement of the bath house this morn ing. They had been concealed under the flooring in a crevice under the top of a joist. A sledge hammer bearing fresh blood stains was found in the basement soon after the police had been summoned to the scene of the assault. The hammer Is one which is used in the basement for breaking up coaL Strother told the po lice at the time of his arrest that two women and a man had called to sea Mr. Cooper, who was proprietor of tne place, shortly after 11 o'clock last night. They came in a carriage and were pre ceded by a boy with a note. The col ored man said that he had directed them to the' cooling room and had re turned to the base.nent. He said he did not know when they departed. Stro ther also said that two colored women, Josie Houston and Florence Banks, had visited him In the basement earlier last night. Krastus Fountain, janitor of the Vista block, says that the two women were in Strother a company at :ou o'clock when he made his last visit to the premises. The police say that there is no other evidence than Strother's statement to prove the visit of two women and a man to the bath house. A few minutes after midnight Theo. Cooper, known as "Tod" Cooper, son of A. Dean Cooper, answered the door bell at the family residence, 3713 Washing ton boulevard. Strother was at the door. "Your father's been hurt,' said the negro to young Coojer. "He's over at the bath house now." Without stopping to Question the man closely Cooper hurried to the Vista block. In the cooling room of the bath house on a cot In the middle of the long compartment he found his father, cov ered by a sheet. Doctors were immediately called and the police notified. The latter made an Investigation and discovered the blood stained hammer. Young Cooper told tne police that the ring usually worn by his father was missing, and they made another search, finding the ring ana pin in tne cellar as already stated. v or some time the physicians worked over Mr. Cooper, who did not regain consciousness. They decided to per form an operation and remove the pieces of bone from the Iajreed wound in the skull that were pressing on the injured man's brain. This was success fully performed, but Mr. Cooper did not regain consciousness, passing away about 10 o'clock this morning, sur rounded by members of his family. tMrotner stoutly maintains his inno cence. Fountain, the janitor, was ta ken to the police station, but was re leased after telling about the presence of the two colored women in the bath house when he left. Tod" Cooper stated to th nolire that his father had practically closed a deal for the sale of the bath house property, and that the transfer was to have been made today, but did not state the name of the prospective purchaser. Chess Challenge Received. London. Jan. 23. Mr. Clark Rporetnrv of the Cambridge University Chess club, confirms the report of the reception of a challenge from Harvard. He savs he has not heard from the Oxford club yet, but is certain the latter club will join with Cambridge. If it does, the Cambridge club will accept the challenge alone. STATEJjESTS. Prosecution Closes in Richard son Murder Case. Defense Asks That the Case Be Dismissed. FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE Court Thinks There Is Enough lor Jury to Act Upon. Defendant Shows Signs of Breaking Down. Plattsburg, Mo., Jan. 23. The state rested its case against Mrs. Addle li. Kichardson at 4:40 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when C. F; Booher announc ed that the prosecution had no further evidence to offer in support of the charge that Mrs. Kichardson murdered her husband. The state reserved Its strongest wit nesses for the last and after they had testified many expressed the opinion that Mrs. Richardson would be acquit ted. This belief was strengthened when Judge Burnes gave his reasons for re fusing to sustain the demurrer made by the defense to the state's evidence and take the case out of the hands of the jury. The evidence that was relied upon to support the claim that Mrs. Richard son's relations with Stewart Fife consti tuted a motive for the murder, were given by three young men who claim ed to have seen the couple under differ ent circumstances. This was followed by the introduction, as exhibits,- of charts of the rooms in the house and the revolver and cartridges shown dur ing the day to witnesses. When the demurrer was filed the Jury was taken from the room and Judge Huston of St. Joseph spoke in support of it. Judge Huston spoke of the dan ger of convicting a person on meager evidence and especially when that per son was, to use his own words, "an innocent woman." "There has been," he said, "no sub stantial evidence of guilt in this case. Motive is only useful when evidence aside from that shows guilt. The testi mony has failed to prove either that Mrs. Richardson fired the shot or aid ed, or abetted the act. The only evi dence here upon that point is that the shot was fired from the hall while she was in the bedroom. Justice requires something more substantial than that. On the theory that she aided and abet ted it must be shown that she assisted in and. agreed to the act. Mere pres ence is not enough. The blackest con struction that can be put upon the re lations between Mrs. Richardson and Stewart Fife does not furnish a motive for the crime. The most substantial evidence that has been offered along that line shows that Mrs. Richardson went forth as a good Samaritan, as a good mother, considerate of her hus band and her children to bring him home abusive and beastly drnnk. It is the duty of the prosecuting attorney to stand like a stone wall against the con viction of an innocent woman as well as to enforce the law. Mrs. Richardson has not made a single statement that is not consistent with the facts. I can see nothing but base suspicion in this case. We cannot go off into the domain of fancy to convict this woman. The very most that the evidence tends to prove is domestic infidelity, but we insist that It has failed to prove that she Has been any other than a perfect lady and gentlewoman. The state has made no case and we ask that it be taken out of the hands of the jury." "If your honor please," said C. F. Booher, for the state, "Judge Huston is a learned lawyer, having been both a criminal and civil judge, and he should know that there are certain facts in this case that cannot be done away with. Richardson was killed in his own house, and the evidence shows beyond contradiction that five minutes elapsed before the alarm was given of this foul murder.' It shows that Miss Nora Terhune passed the house and heard no screams, and it is well known that a woman s screams can be heard almost as far as the whistle of an engine. The witness, Ellis, testified that there was no outcry until after Mrs. Kerr reached the house. Richardson's hat and cigar stub far within the room are facts that have not yet been answered. Had the drunken, maudlin talk of Frank Rich ardson come true when he was sober, and did he see that which caused him to say, 'Has it come to this?' The statements made by Mrs. Richardson as brought out by other witnesses do not have the importance of evidence given under oath. If the court takes this ease out or tne nanus or tne jury I would advise public prosecutors never to fight a case on circumstantial evi dence. It Is not my province to say how much weight shall be given to the evidence, but what there is should go to the jury." Judge Burnes Interrupted Mr. Booher to say that his mind was made up. He then said: "There is not enough evi dence regarding the relations between Fife and Mrs. Richardson to show a motive for the crime. I cannot see any evidence to show who fired the shot, or whether any one else than Mrs. Rich ardson was at the house. The case is shrouded in mystery. I cannot con strue the facts so as to determine fully whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. If it Is in my province to say what should be done at this time. There is. however, enough evidence to justify me in allowing this case to go to the jury. It is for the Jury to de termine whether or not there is enough evidence to convict. When the time comes to give this case to the jury then I may see my way to act more clearly." Wrhile Mr. Booher apprehended that the instructions to the jury will be fa vorable, he said he would ask for in structions for a verdict of murder in the second degree. "If I can get that," he said after court, "I have strong hopes of getting the verdict after the examination of the witnesses to appear yet." When Bruce Stanton, a young clerk In the store, was put on the stand the state objected to Stanton, stating that Mrs. Richardson had frequently gone to the store when Richardson was drunk In order to take him home. The court sustained it. "We wish to show." said Judge Cul ver, "that when Richardson was drunk he became insanely jealous and abused his wife, but when he was sober he was contrite 'and repudiated his accusations made while drunk." "We object to that statement going before the jury." The state's objection was sustained and the defense excepted. All excep tions are saved in the trial. "Is It not a fact that Mrs." Richard son frequently went about town to hunt for her husband when he was drunk?" asked Brewster. The same objection was made and the exception noted in the record. The state followed up Stanton's tes timony by putting a young man named Leonard McDaniel on the stand. He said that during the latter part of Au gust or the first of September, 1900, he was going home one night about 11 o'clock with Carl Guenther when he saw Stewart Fife and Mrs. Richardson sitting on the stone steps near the Maple Leaf tracks about half way be tween the town square and the Rich ardson home. "How were they sitting?" asked At torney Booher. "They were sitting close together." "When did you ever see them to gether before?" "Once before standing on the street. It was daylight, about 6 o'clock In the morning." By Senator Brewster Was not this about the time of the Presbyterian con vention? y "I don't remember." "Did you not see a little boy there with them?" "I did not" Pointing to John, Mrs. Richardson's 14-year-old son, Mr. Brewster asked:"Do you mean to tell this jury that you did not see that little boy there on the steps with Fife and Mrs. Richardson?" "I did not see him there." Carl Guenther gave the same testi mony. Both are young men. Otto Byers, another young man, testified that he saw a man and woman one night sitting on the ground in the Catholic church yard and that he sup posed they were Stewart Fife and Mrs. Richardson. He would not say posi tively that they were. On cross-examination he said he had told several persons he was not sure who the couple was. "When you went to that church yard who was with you?" asked Senator Brewster. "A lady," he replied. "Did you not tell several persons that it was a woman from St Joseph?" "I did." Sheriff Holcomb told of examining the ground around the Richardson home and told of finding a man's footprints In the snow behind the house. Witness after witness was called to the stand to testify regarding the movements of Fife before and after the shooting. They told of seeing him in several stores and saloons on the town square the night of the murder but he did not go to the Richardson home when he heard of it. The unique situation of two persons being tried for a killing for which one of them was indicted has been main tained throughout the trial. All of the late testimony introduced by the state appeared to have the purpose of fasten ing the crime on Fife, who is in jail in Savannah, on information filed by Prosecutor Lloyd Booher. If Mrs. Rich ardson is acquitted the difficulty of con victing Fife is recognized by the attor neys for the state. They seem to feel that the jury in this case will be affect ed by sympathy for Mrs. Richardson and her three children. Mrs. Richardson showed signs yester day evening of breaking down under the strain. While McDaniel, Guenther and Byers were telling of seeing her with Fife at night, tears came into her eyes and she placed her arm around her youngest boy, a little white-headed fel low, and bowed her head. The child looked up into her face with wonder for a moment and then tears fell from his eyelids and coursed down his plump cheeks. Mrs. Richardson's frame shook with emotion when Judge Culver recited the abuse she had received from her husband when he was drunk. Sur rounded by her more robust relatives, the widow seems strikingly frail and delicate. Her eyes are singularly ex pressive and she has what many would call a winsome face, although it is now well marked by the lines of care. The jury that is judging her is made up largely of austere men near the mid dle age. The common opinion in the court room is that it is a good jury In the matter of intelligence. THE DEFENSE BEGINS. Mrs. Kichardson Wept While Her Son Gave His Testimony. Plattsburg. Mo.. Jan. 23. The defense today began the presentation of its side of the case. The last witness put upon the stand by the defense will be Mrs. Richardson herself. That probably will be tomorrow afternoon. The de fendant's face was paler than .usual when she entered court today. The first witness introduced by the defense was Johnnie Richardson, the 14- year-old son of the defendant. He was questioned with a view to explaining the mission of his mother, who wit nesses for the state had testified had been seen late at night in company with Stewart Fife, sitting on the steps of a church some distance from the Rich ardson home. Young Richardson said that on the night in question he had left home with his mother about half-past eleven o'clock to find Mr. Richardson. They had met Fife at the church steps and Fife had gone to the St. Charles hotel and reported that Richardson was there. Then his mother had gone alone to the hotel and took the father home. The state made no attempt by cross- examination to break down the boy's testimony. Mrs. Richardson wept while her son was testifying Mrs. J. W. Grant, a sister of the mur dered man, testified that she was at the Richardson home the night that Mrs. Richardson brought her husband home from the hotel. She said her brother was very much under the in fluence of liquor. Mrs. Richardson's general reputation in Texas, Kansas and Missouri, where she had lived was, she said, good. Dr. W. M. Kerr, a resident of Savan nah for twelve years and Peter Chris tiansen, who was a member of the grand jury that indicted Mrs. Richard son, also testified to Mrs. Richardson's good character. Christiansen was asked: "You never heard others discuss her character?" "No, sir; because I suppose there was nothing bad in it to discuss." "And you signed the indictment againsv her for murder?" "Yes, sir." KILLED IN A DUEL. West Tirginla Mountain Men Fight Out a Grudge. Huntington, W. Va.. Jan. 23. Col.

Says Law la Useless but Sug gests Nothing Better. VIOLATORS OF XAW. Attention Called to Action of Railroad Officials In Their Relations to Packers and Grain Men. Washington, Jan. 23. The annual re port of the interstate commerce com mission, which was transmitted to con gress today, renews the declaration made in previous reports that in its present condition the act to regulate commerce cannot be enforced. As to remedial -legislation, the commission re news the statement made in its per vious annual report that It "has little to suggest and nothing new to pro pose." The feature of the. report Is the al most sensational statement of the rela tions existing between the railroads and a comparatively few heavy ship pers. Referring to the commission's re cent investigations into the amount of packing house products and of grain and grain products, the report says: "The facts therein developed are of such a character that no thoughtful person can contemplate them with in difference. That the leading traffic ofli cials of many of the prominent railway lines, men occupying high positions and charged with the most 'important du ties, should deliberately violate the statute law of the land, and in some cases agree with each other to do so; that it should be thought by them nec essary to destroy vouchers and to so manipulate bookkeeping as to obliter ate evidence of the transactions; that hundreds of thousands of dollars should be paid in unlawful rebates to a few great packing houses; that the business of railroad transportation should to such an extent be conducted in open disregard of law, must be surprising and offensive to all right-minded per sons. Equally startling at least is the fact that the owners of these packing nouses, men whose names are known throughout the commercial world. should seemingly be eager to augment their gains with the enormous amounts of these rebates which they receive in plain defiance of a federal statute." PALLIATING CIRCUMSTANCES. That there are palliating circum stances under which railway traffic offi cials act, the commission is not un mindful, and the opinion Is expressed that existing laws should be so amend ed that railway managers who desire to observe the.n can do so without risk of sacrificing their property. The ap plication of the remedy, the report says, is fraught with dangers to the public, and it should not be applied unless the public is fully protected. In view of those great combinations which have been formed and are now forming, by which railway competition, which upon the present theory of this law is great ly relied upon to secure just and rea sonable rates and facilities, will be largely eliminated, some method should be provided by which the government can exercise in fact that control over railway rates and operations which courts without number have asserted that it possesses and which many per sons suppose that it now exerts. The commission believes that the whole law should be revised upon some correct theory and some workable basis. In view of the gross violations of the act the commission suggests that if not possible to amend this law in its more essential features, It ought at least to be possible to deal with those coercive features of the act which are intended to prevent practices of this character Referring to the court decisions that penalties cannot be imposed upon cor porations violating the act and that only their agents can be punished, the commission says: "Now the object of rate cutting is to get business and make money and the corporation, if any one profits by the illegal act. It is the real offender and ought certainly to pay the penalty ys well as its officer. If every illegal act of that character subjected the carrier to a substantial forfeiture so that the money result of the transaction was likely to be the other way the induce ment to commit such offences would be greatly diminished." RATE CUTTING. Taking up the difficulty of securing convictions in cases of rate cutting the report says: "To convict for paying a rebate it is necessary to show not merely that the railway company paid a rebate to a particular shipper, but it must also be shown that it did not pay the same re bate to some other shipper with respect to the same kind of traffic moving at the same time under similar conditions. This is almost always impossible. De parture from the published rate is the thing which can be reached and the thing which should be visited with fit ting punishment." It is urged that the twentieth section should be amended so as to open the books of the carriers to the inspection of its agents under proper restrictions to prevent the misuse of information so obtained. It is also urged that if the powers of the commission are not to be generally enlarged some method should be devised by which such orders as it can make, may be enforced within a reasonable time. Summarizing the results of its inves tigation of the handling of packing house products, the commission says: "Some times rebates were paid, some times the freight was billed at the cut rate and some times the published rate was reduced when the freight money was paid. The important fact disclos ed from the testimony is that packing house products are habitually carried from points of origin to the seaboard at rates below the published tariff of 5 to 10 cents per hundred, pounds." EVIL EFFECTS. .Then discussing the evil effects of this state of affairs, the report says "The commission required the car riers to file statements showing the number of cars shipped and the rates actually charged. When these are re cei'ed the gross amount of the rebates can be determined. At present it can only be said to reach hundreds of thou sands of dollars. While the general pub lic probably receives some benefit from the lower rates, in the main the sums 11 V. r.tr, A V. nantraK IPtm,. great concerns number only about five L or six, and little distinction in the rates j appears to have been made between j them. The effect Is to give them an enormous advantage over smaller com petitors located at other points. Al ready these competitors have mostly ceased to exist. These disclosures af ford a prominent illustration of the manner in which secret rate conces sions are tending to build up great trusts and monopolies at the expense of the small independent operator." The additional statement is made that all of the traffic officials who ad mitted that these secret low rates were being given the favored shippers main tained that the published tariffs, at rates exacted of the smaller shippers, were too low. GRAIN RATES. The commission found also In Investi gating complaints made by western millers that the carriers east of Chi- cago made no serious pretense of main taining the export rates on wheat, and that the carriers had agreed among themselves upon a rate from Chicago 2Vfe cents below the published tariff,, re sulting In a discrimination of from 24 to 4 cents against flour. The open wheat tariff from Kansas City to Chicago has been 12 cents, and the actual rate as low as 5 cents. CONCESSIONS. Taking up the practice prevalent In the west, of allowing some particular individual a concession which enables him to handle practically all the grain transported upon a particular railway, the report says: "While the investigation of the com mission has not fully covered this as pect of the case as yet, it is a matter of common information and we know from repeated complaints received that some firm, or some one individual purchases substantially all the grain which is handled by a given line of railway and the claim is made and the inference is almost a necessary one that this firm or individual must receive concessions which enable it, or him, to underbid other buyers in the same market. These different lines in an effort to obtain a share of the business and to divide it up among different competing routes, deem it necessary to drive out of busi ness the small buyer and to operate through a single large concern. One ef fect of this is, to put the miller out of the market as an independent 'buyer." Dealing with the tariff associations, the commission states that the secret "agreed" rates have been manipulated through these agencies and says: "It is not the business of this com mission to enforce the anti-trust act, and we express no opinion as to the le gality of the means adopted by these associations. We simply call attention to the fact that the decisions of the United States supreme court in the trans-Missouri and Joint Traffic asso ciation have produced no practical ef fect on the railway operations of the country. Such associations in fact ex ist now as they did before those decis ions and with the same general effect. In justice to all parties we ought pro bably to add that it is difficult to see how our interstate railways could be operated with due regard to the inter est of the shipper and the railway with out concerted action of the kind af forded through these associations." CORN BLOCKADE. A Thousand Cars on Track in KansasCity. Kansas City, Jan. 23. A corn block ade with the grain commanding high prices and the great southwestern country buying from the north and east, instead of having corn for sale, is the anomalous condition that exists in Kansas City. Grain men say there are 1,000 cars of corn on track here and the railroad yards so full that it takes many days to get corn started out of the city after it has been ordered shipped. Most of the corn is coming from Iowa and northeastern Nebraska, but the Da kotas and northern Illinois are contrib uting large supplies now. TAFT FOR FREE TRADE. If Some Way Can Be Found For Raising Revenue. San Francisco. Jan. 23. Referring to the Philippine tariff In a speech before the Union League club prior to his de parture for the east, Governor W. H. Taft is reported to have said:- "I know from reading your papers and talking with some of your mer chants that you are anxious to have free trade between the Philippines and America. In many respects that would be an admirable arrangement, if it were possible to run the government of the Philippines without the indirect tax ation involved in levying customs du ties. It' would gratify the commission very much if congress would take off altogether the tariff imposed by the Dingley bill. All we desire is to have money enough to run. a good govern ment. My view is that as soon as trade is established and avenues opened, a small tariff will form a very slight ob stacle to the course of business between the Philippine and California." kordsWeld.

The first case brought by Assistant Attorney General A, L. Redden for the violation of the prohibitory law, was called for trial in the district court at 9 o'clock this morning. The case was against J. C. Gregory and his wife, Mallssa Gregory.who were convicted by Judge Redden before Jus tice Queen on the charge of illegally selling liquor at their place three miles south of Topeka on the Burlingame road. Mr. Gregory was convicted on ii counts and Mrs. Gregory was con victed on tie same number of counts and both were fined J100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail on each count, making a total of 600 days' jail sentence and a fine of 2,000 for each defendant. When the case was called for trial Judge Hazen ordered Sheriff Cook to summon a special venire of jurymen to make up the necessary number of jurymen. Sheriff Cook summoned the following business men: William Mac ferran, George W. Crane, F. B. Chase, J. Weiss,B. F. McGiflin. A. L. Green, W. S. Furman, John Dial, G. B. Payne, H. C. Ashby, George Crawford, W. N. Hall, S. M. Wood, J. C. Elliott. John McManus. The jury finally sworn to try the case Is as follows: C. A. Thomas, W. A. Cavert, C. W. West. E. H. Medllcott, Harry C. Ashby, Frank L. Whitteker, Fred B. Chase, George W. Crane, Bert L. Green, John Dial, J. Weiss and Geo. Crawford. The defense will endeavor to prove that what Gregorys sold was hop tea and not beer. Prof. J. T. Lovewell will be placed on the stand to give expert testimony regarding the beer sold. The court or dered the sheriff to turn over a bottle of the beer seized to Prof. Lovewell for a chemical analysis. The defense hopes to prove by Prof. Lovewell's testimony that the stuff sold by the Gregorys contained between X and 2 per cent of alcohol and was therefore hop tea as beer contains 4 per cent of alcohol. Clare StaM, a son of ex-Chief of Po lice Frank Stahl, was the first witness called by the state. "Did you call for beer at Gregory's place on August 8?" asked Judge Red den. "We got something, I don't know what it was," replied Stahl. "Who was with you?" "My brother, Ed Stahl, James Dick inson, Henry Cunningham and Charles Ramsdell." "What did you get?" "We got six bottles." "Did you drink part of it?" "Yes." "What was it?" "I think it was beer." "Did you ever drink beer before?" "Yes." "Do you remember what the label was on the bottle?" "Dick Bros., I think." "Did you all go In the store?" "Yes, sir." "Who else was there?" "I don't know." On cross-examination Attorney Hun gate said: "You don't know what was called for?" "No, sir." "You don't know who paid for it?" "I paid for part of it" "Had you drank any Intoxicating liquors before going there that day?" "Yes." "What did you drink?" "I drank a bottle of beer early In the morning." "Do you say this was beer?" "I think It was." "Would you swear It was beer?" "No, sir; I would not." "How much did you drink?" "A bottle."

As has been stated, the Brit isher is now under the management of Charley McKeever, the American who at present holds the English welter weight championship, and the latter has written a letter to Sammy Harris, McGovern's manager, in regard to mak ing a match between the two feather weights.

Brooklyn, St. Louis and other National league clubs, has secured a plot of ground between Sixty-sixth and Sixty --eventh streets. West End and Railroad avenues, Manhattan, for baseball pur poses. It Is Carsey's intention to play Sun day games on his new grounds during the coming season. As soon as the. weather permits ground will be broken for the construction of a diamond, the erection of grand stands, fences, etc The plot is 3s7 feet deep and a block wide. It is considered possible that in case A. G. Spalding decides to play a club in this city in opposition to the Giants, that these grounds may be utilized by the new team. The grounds would be somewhat contracted as re gards width, but no more so than the present National League grounds in Boston. BOWLERS IN A B.OW.

Following a division of the congress the chairman declared the motion lost- The eastern delegates dis puted the ruling and a motion to ad journ sine- die was carried, no officers having been elected. The imiKjrtant business of the con gress being thus left untouched, the executive committer was cad led to gether and succeeded In restoring or der and reconvening the congress. The report of the executive commit tee was adopted. It admitted 38 new leagues to the congress.

It was 4:50 o'clock when the delegates met after recess. Bernard J. York "at once offered a substitute for article 15 of the constitution, regarding the vote by proxy. Mr. Sterns, for the west, vig orously opposed the motion. President Tanghenry called for a vote and Secre tary Karpf proceeded to call the roll. After one delegate had voted three times an eastern delegate made a point of order, which was overruled.

Young Corbett has no histrionic ambitions. He dot's not dream of shining before the footlights. "I'm a fighter," he said, "acting is not in my line. "On the square, I don't think much of this acting game, at least not for pugilists. What license would Mansfield have to go into the ring with Jeffries? Well, what license has a scrapper got to get into the Mansfield ring and battle for the heavy weight championship? "I figure a man ought to stick to his business. People don't pay to see a cham pion act. They want to see him box and size him up as he looks in the ring. "There's another thing. Stage air is not healthv Knocking around stage dressing rooms'anl playing a part where you lose a 1st of nervous energy and doing this every night and three times a week In the af ternoon saps the vitality.

Charles Frank, man ager of the Memphis, Tenn., baseball club, has signed Phil Cavanaugh and Otto Wil liams, first baseman ana outfielder, two St. Louis boys, who played with the St. Pauls last season. He has showed a con tract which he had signed with "Dusty" Rhoades to pitch for Memphis, as well as letters from Heilbronner of the St. Louis National, and Biddy McPhee, asking him to release Rhoades, but Frank says he will keep "Dusty." i MILLER HOGGINS SIGNED. Clever Second Baseman Goes Back to St, PauL Cincinnati, Jan. 23. Miller Hugglns, the clever little second baseman, yester day signed a contract to play again at St. Paul. The work of Huggins in the Western league last season was such as to warrant his retention with the same club, whose contract he signed early yesterday morning. The St. Paul team had scarcely disbanded at the close of last season when Huggins was asked to name his terms for 1902. The pro positions, however, were not to Hug gin's liking. Contracts were received and returned with surprising regularity until yesterday's mail brought the pa per with proper figures. Racing at Frisco. San Francisco, Jan. 23. A disqualifi cation in the 9. year old event was among the incidents of the racing at Oakland. Durazzo, a 10 to 1 shot from the stable of Green B.

The judges fined O'Connor $50 for foul riding. Tom Ryan, who trains Mountebank, together with his friends and the Mon tana delegation, made a killing on the gelding in the second race. He was played from 10 to 6 to 1, and won as he pleased. Rio de Altar broke down in the last race and fell. Ransom escaped injury. Pat Morrissey, the favorite, bolted at the start and finished outside the money. Pompino won the event from Redwald. All the winners were heavily played and the books suffered. The weather was fine and tha track muddy. Green B. Morris heads the- list of winning owners with $15,20 to his cred it; Burns Waterhouse are second with $11,850, and W. B.

Corrigan made his first appearance this season In the Point Arena handi cap and won easily. Ha gave indica tions of recovering his form of last season. Gotham's Latest. New York, Jan. 23. There is some thing new for baseball fans to talk about. The latest is. and it is said to be semi-official, that if the courts decide that A. G. Spalding Is legally elected president of the National league the Freed man faction will withdraw and organize a new association. That's all there is to it, and it is printed for what it Is worth.

The Municipal League in Ses sion at Wichita. First and Second Class Cities Well Represented. CROWD FROM TOPEKA. Wichita Mayor Makes an Ad dress of Welcome. Yis Itors Glren a Trolley Bide and a Banquet. Wichita, Jan. 23. The annual session of the Municipal League opened in this city Wednesday morning in the council chambers of the city hall. A large num ber of delegates are in the city. At the city hail, the council chamber and the mayor's office were thrown open for the visitors and many of them spent the morning visiting the different offices and renewing old acquaintances with members of the league. The Topeka municipal officers came in full force and several other cities were represented. A central figure among the crowd of delegates that as sembled In the council rooms was May or Parker of Topeka, who Is distin guished because of his winning the long contested honor for the position of may or of the capital city. Mr. Parker only last week finally received the decision from the supreme court sustaining his claim to the office of rrteyor and he has now taken charge of the city affairs. As there was not a sufficient number of officials present In the morning, the meeting adjourned until the afternoon at 2 o'clock.- When the announcement was made the representatives did not leave the building but sat in small par ties in the council room and dff4jssed municipal affairs over the state. To peka." as one representative expressed himself, "comes to Wichita as dry as a fish." Another feature of the party that came down from Topeka was that "mum" was the word in regard to the future administration of that city. A register was placed in the office of the mayor and the representatives all signed their names. Those who registered were: Topeka: Albert Park er, mayor: W. S. Bergundthal. D. S. Myers Joseph Griley, M. Snattinger, Geo. Nell, W. S. Chaney, J. S. Warner and H. S. Nichols, councilmen; Chas. S. Spencer, city attorney; W. A. S. Bird, ex-city attorney; J. F. MeCabe, city engineer; J. H. Squires, city clerk; Hale Ritchey, ex-councilman. Horton: W. W. Letson, mayor. Great Bend: W. P. Feder, city clerk. Coffeyville: F. C. Frazier, mayor. Lamed: J. W. Russell. Arkansas City: Wm. J. Pollock mayor; A. D. Prescott and W. F. Ward, councilmen. Winfield: Harry A. Caton, mayor. The object of the association is to urge upon the legislature the passage of beneficial laws for the government of Kansas in cities, and it is probable that several proposed laws will be discussed at today's meeting. The questions that have been discussed most among the Topeka delegates are in relation to the care of the poor and the auditing of the city accounts. It is probable that a resolution will be Introduced asking the legislature to pass a law enabling cities of the first class to levy a poor tax of their own and saving the city property owners the necessity of paying part of the county poor tax. Some of the councilmen of the Topeka delegation also want an act passed en abling large cities to have an auditor, who shall audit all the accounts thus saving the council committee on ac counts that work. At the session in the afternoon the business taken up was new. The ad dress of welcome to the city was made by Mayor McLean of Wichita, after which the business of the meeting be gan. This consisted of the discussion and appointment of some committees and a discussion of the by-laws. The session this afternoon was not a long one. After the meeting the visitors were entertained in various ways, some of them riding over the city eight see ing. Today the regular business of the meeting will begin and in the afternoon the entire number of visitors will enjoy a trolley ride over the city. The ban quet tonight will close the session.

No one who suffers from lung disease should lose heart or give np hope while there is a possibility of cure.

Yet starvation by rigorous diet was once generally resorted to in cases of indigestion or other stomach trouble. Even yet it is sometimes tried. Such a remedy Is worse than useless. Every day of life consumes a portion of the tissues cf the human body. The food we eat serves to repair this waste and you can't build up vthe system by withholding manorial for the purpose. If the stomach is in such condi tion that it cannot furnish it the task must be performed without the stomach's assist ance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only preparation which accomplishes this. There are others which act on certain kinds of food, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only one which digests them all as the stomach digests them. Man is so constituted that be needs a variety of food and to reduce this variety always produces bad results. In ninety-nine cases In a hundred Indiges tion is due to lack of some of the elements which constitute the natural digestive Juices, usually to the absence of hydrochlo ric acid from the stomach. It Is by the ac tion of these juices that food is reduced to a form in which it can be transformed into living tissue. With any of them lacking it is easy to see that the process of digestion can not be perfectly performed. With the single exception of Kodol Dys pepsia Cure all preparations for the relief of indigestion lack certain of these elements. Consequently they cannot digest all classes of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains them all. It will digest anything that the healthy stomach can digest. It is nature's own cure. Don't resort to stimulating tonics. Such drugs simply urge the already overworked stomach to renewed exertions. It is like spurring a tired hone. For a moment D9 responds. Then outraged nature reasserts itself and he falls in a heap. Sedatives are equally ineffective. At first they deaden pain but afterward comes the reaction and keener suffering than before. What the stomach needs is rest. To ob- tain It a substitute must be found for the natural digestive Juices. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only substitute which accom plishes nature's results by nature's own methods. It gives the stomach perfect rest by digesting what you eat. No dieting is v necessary. Eat all the good food y ou want, build up the system and at the same time relieve the stomach from all responsibility. The rest will restore it to its natural condi tion and soon effect a complete cure. This is the only rational aud common seuao method of aiding nature. Mo dieting is ttiecssatpy. Gentlemen: I hare been a great sufferer for many years from indigestion which has become almost chronic and have suffered untold pains which were always worse after eating a hearty meal. I took two bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and am now a well man and life seems worth living,. Peter Sherman, No. Stratford, K. H. Suffered Untold Agosg. Gentlemen: I want to say that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best remedy for all stomach troubles that I ever used. It is the only remedy I ever used with any good results. For years, I have been troub led with the severest form of dyspepsia, at times compelling me to remain in bed and causing me untold agony. 1 am com- ?letely cured by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and have recommendfd it to several friends who have also purchased it with the same results. I always offer to pay the purchase price if it fails but so far have never paid. U. he first dose 1 jlieves. Geo. W. Lane, Pewamo, Mich. Gentlemen: For twenty years I suffered the most agonizing pains with dyspepsia. For years 1 regularly tried every doctor and medicine that I could secure but without relief, until at last I became convinced that I would die. Your agent at this place finally induced me to try a bottle of Kodol Dyspep sia Cure. I commenced to improve from the very first dose and after taking six bot tles I am as well as I ever was in my life. You are at liberty to publish this and I hope that it may be the means of rescueing some sufferer from that terrible disease, dyspepsia. Mrs. M. Houston, Omaha, Mo. EecoEscais it To All Suffef ers. Gentlemen: I have been afflicted for four or five years with dyspepsia. I have tried various remedies without any good results and finally was Induced to use Kodol Dys pepsia Cure. I cannot say too much In its favor as one bottle cured me. I recommend the remedy to all who suffer from the same cause. David Maylor, Windridge, Peon. Gentlemen: This Is what I have to say about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. About a year ago I could not drink either tea or coffee, drinking only hot water, and could cat but very little food, until I began taking the Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and I then began to improve at once. After taking the Kodol Dyspepsia Cure during the summer I can not only retain what food I eat, but also drink either tea or coffee, and I have gained so that I am hardly considered by my friends as being the same woman. I cannot say too much for what it has done for me, and I recommend it most cheerfully to all sufferers from indigestion and stomach trouble. Mrs. Jeffrey, Georgetown, Wis. Cured eg Bail a Bottle. Gentlemen: I am one of the many suf ferersfrom dyspepsiaand after buying sev eral pepsin remedies, I concluded to give your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure a trial. I did so and am now glad that I did.

Mr. Wilson said to a State Journal re porter: The sale of Swamp-Koot was never po great as it is today. It is one of the leading sellers. The sale at our Wall Ftreet store is particularly gratifying.

Couldn't Do Business Without Swamp Root Those Who Use It Recom mend It. Sales Doubled. J. Bernhard, manager of the Park 'Avenue Pharmacy, at 1720 Park avenue, writes: Swamp-Root is a great seller In com parison with other remedies for kidney, bladder and liver troubles, rheumatism, etc. The best testimony to the merit of Swamp-Root is the fa:t that its sales have been doubled in the last few months, and in the other fact that those who have tried it recommend it to oth ers. I couldn't do business without Fwamp-lloot in stock, for their is a constant demand for it. THREE LEADING YONKERS DRUGGISTS.

Van Houten, 155 Main street, Ton kers, where he has been for fourteen years, writes: The best thing I ean say of Swamp Root is that we sell a lot of it and it seems to satisfy those who buy it. They tell me it is a sovereign remedy for kidney and bladder troubles, and is a splendid spring tonic, bracing up the weak and weary system. I know one man who had Bright's disease of the kidneys and who told me he bad re ceived KTeu.t benefit from it. The Wray Drug Company Speaks. The George B.

Said Mr. Louis Wasself to a reporter: Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root sells well. I sell more of it than of any other spring medicine, which indicates that it is looked upon as of great value as a spring medicine, while its virtue as a sovereign remedy for troubles of the urinary organs is well known. Manager H. M. Wasself tells of three conspicuous cases in which its power for the relief of the afflicted was mani fested. He said to a reporter: The sale of Swamp-Root in this neighborhood is large and on the in crease. It is recognized as of great medical virtue in the treatment of kid ney and liver troubles, and is recom mended highly in every way. I have two customers, one a woman who suffered intensely with pains in the back, due to kidney trouble, and she used Ewamp-Root with great benefit- A man who was laid up with grip, was on his back, in fact, with resultant trouble with the kidneys.

Mr. Klippert still serves behind the prescription counter and is as hale and hearty and as alive to business as any of his vounger competitors. He puts his estimate of Swamp-Root in these words: "Dr. Kilmer's preparation for kidney and liver troubles sells well In my trade, and those who use it speak in terms of satisfaction of its beneficial effects. Many people value Swamp Root highlv as a tonic, and the sale ia always larger in the springtime. ing it discussed by others, but person ally as one who owes restoration of health to it. He says: Swamp-Root is the proprietary medi cine I would personally recommend. I liave used it myself, and I have had three or four customers who used it on my recommendation and who got grand results from it. In my own case I had severe pains in my back. I tried several things, but without relief. I had Swamp-Root in stock. I opened a fifty cent bottle and took it. The pain en tirely disappeared in a few days and it completely cured my kidneys. Customers' Pleased. The largest prescription trade In Har lem is claimed by the Zaigat Drug Company, of 2117 Eighth avenue, and the business has doubled in a year. Mendel Zaigat, the manager, has been twenty-two years in business. He made the following statement to a reporter: We have a most satisfactory trade in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. The sales are large. Our customers are very mucn pleased with it. They recommend it one to another, and that shows more forcibly than I could say it how well they are satisfied with it. As a rule they require it for kidney and bladder trouble, though It is esteemed by majiy people as a good thing for liver com plalnts. The sale increases all the time. PHARMACIES.

Jenner, who office is in his Wal ton Pharmacy, at 993 Columbus avenue, where he receives his patients, prescribes for their ills and fills the prescriptions all for one fee, is a" graduate of the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn. He has had a rapidly growing practice in the city for three years, following a practice of five years in Walton, Deleware County, N. Y., and he writes that he has prescribed Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in desperate cases of kidney troubles with won derfully gratifying results. Said Dr. Jenner to a State Journal report er: Those who buy Swamp-Boot come again for it and that speaks for itself. If they got no benefit from its use they would'nt spend their money for a second bottle. I have prescribed Swamp-Root with good results, One patient who got much benefit from Dr. Kilmer's preparation suffered from an irritable condition of the bladder and he said that Swamp-Root gave him the first relief he had had in a year or two.

Of all the kidney, liver and bladder remedies we have sold during a busi ness experience of more than fifty years, we oan conscientiously say that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has sold better and given more satisfaction than all others combined.

I know hundreds of cases of kidney and liver troubles that have been cured or permanently benefited by Dr. Kilmer's Sovereign Remedy, Swamp Root. We are always willing to answer any requests for information sent to us in regard to this wonderf ull remedy. A Russian Apothecary. Schlossberg-. the great Russian apoth ecary at 388 Grand street, in that great east side where people of all nations of the earth have congregated and one sel dom hears the language of America spoken, is a typical student from the land of the Czar. He is a pharmicist and chemist, with his sheepskin from a Russian college. He was fifteen years in the drug busi ness in Brooklyn before he opened his present store, and is President of the Kuropean Drug Company.

But Swamp-Root has a greater foothold than any other, and my sales of this meritorious remedy for kidney and liver troubles increase rapidly. If these people are slow to accept, they are quick to recognize in Swamp-Root a medicine of great value, and I predict that in another year it will be as popu lar with them as it now is with the great American public, who recognize in it a practical specific High dis- b if' W i .JP'

Reports From the Three Great Pharmacies of This Famous Concern in the City Harlem and Washington Heights. Dr 'Kilmer's Swamp-Root Best of All. The corporation of Hegeman Co. is a conspicuous example of the applica tion to the drug business of the recently developed tendency to combine great capital in a business enterprise. Hegeman Co. have two immense stores in full blast at 196 Broadway and at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Seventh avenue, while a third one, at Amsterdam avenue and One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, Washington Heights, was opened June 1st. George W. Ramsey is manager of the down-town store and W. J. Fraser of the Harlem store. The Washington Heights store is managed by Egerton Hill. Steady Demand for Swamp.Root. As if to remind the wayfarer of the days of the middle of the last century, when the Bowery was the great com mercial centre of New York, the phar macy of R. H. Luthin appears in the midst of its three-quarter mile stretch, at No. 191. It was established by G. A. Cassabeer in 1845, and has remained for fifty-six years with but a single change, when Mr. Luthin became Its owner. The business is now practically in the wholesale line, though Mr. Luthins counter trade is still equal to that of most retail houses. Mr. Luthin says of the great specific for kidney ailments: We find a steady demand for Swamp Root, not only from our counter trade but from retail dealers whom we sup ply. The sale of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is immense and it is superior to most of them and gives immediate sat isfaction. Brooklyn and Harlem Take Swamp-Root Ralph B. Robbins, whose pharmacy at Lenox avenue and 135th street Is one of the most popular In Harlem, made the following statement to a reporter: I have been in the drug business more than fifteen years, and I can say that In every case in which Swamp-Root was taken It did good, and it has a host of firm friends who ascribe to It their recovery from diseases of the kidneys, bladder and liver. It has been a long time on the market. I was located in Brooklyn for several years, and while Swamp-Root was esteemed highly in that borough, I found 'it in as high regard in Harlem when I came here five years ago. The sales of Swamp-Root are very large, especially in the spring time, when people emerge from winter run down and in need of something to recuperate the liver and kidneys. CURED TWO CUSTOMERS Enabled Them to Resume Tbeir Employ ment Wouldn't Be Without It Now. At the junction of Mott and Worth streets, Chatham Square, Matthew Kra mer, Ph. G., has a model daug store. In an interview with a State Journal re porter he said: We sell large quantities of Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root to those looking for a health restorer, and the sale is larger than that of any other proprietary med icine. I have two customers who were cured of long-standing kidney com plaint by it. They were enabled to re sume their employments. One of them was obliged to use between two and three bottles a week for some time, and now he says he would not be without Swamp-Root on any consideration," and if setting out for a long journey out of the country would take along a sup ply for the term of his intended ab- Dr. Salodloo's Word. Dr. Salodino's office is in the pharm acy the pioneer Italiano Farmacie in New York at Broome and Mulberry streets.

Piatt. 191 Court street, Brooklyn, says: I am glad to say that the great Kid ney Remedy Swamp-Root has a large sale and an increasing sale, and that those who buy it speak well of it. F.m h Harlm rWman Swamp Root a Specific For Kidney Troubles. We sell more of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root than of any similar remedy, which betokens its good repute. It is looked upon as a specific for troubles of the kidneys and bladder, and as a valuable preparation for the relief of liver com plaints. Our customers speak well of it. Indeed, I do not recall a single com plaint from any one who has used it. Indorses Swam p Root. in Increasing Sale Speaks Volumes For Its Reputation and Its Worth. J. H.

If a customer asks my opinion I always indorse Dr. Kilmer's preparation as a kidney, liver and bladder remedy. Those who have tried it recommend It, and in short, it seems to give satisfactory results. The sale is constantly increasing, and that 3 Vfe CURES LIVER COMPLAINT James Livson. of 2196 Eighth avenue, only repeats what his customers say: The sale of Dr. Kilmer's kidney rem edy, Swamp-Root, is large as compared with that of other preparations, and it si j. irvsoN. merit is attested by those who use it. As a rule I do not recommend any rem edy, but when I am appealed to I re peat what my customers have said. Those who have tried Swamp-Root say that it proved satisfactory, relieving pain and restoring the kidneys to their normal functions. It is used largely also for liver complaint with good re sults, and is much in favor as a. gen eral tonic for debilitated systems. Increasing Sale Best Testimonial. We sell Swamp-Root very largely and our customers buy it over and over again. An increasing sale of an article is usually the best testimonial any preparation can have, and Swamp Root has the indorsement under that test. It is the best selling article we have in that class. Downtown liegeman's. Manager Ramsey, in an interview with a reporter, said: X have heard many good opinions ex pressed by our customers who have used Swamp-Root. We have a greater call for it than for any other prepara tion for kidney troubles.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph renort of that great news or ganisation for exclusive afternoon publi cation in Topeka.

The tariff seems to need reforming n so many places that nobody knows where to begin. Cuba may be found to be a good place.

The experiment of Indian Commis sioner Jones In civilizing the red man by compelling him to stop painting hU face, dancing and letting his hair grow, is already meeting with difficulties. But they are nothing to what he would encounter if he tried the same rules on white women. Probably a majority of them are addicted to the practices which Mr. Jones is trying to do away with. A German naval constructor who re cently "Investigated the shipbuilding in dustry In this country, says that we have cheaper materials for the con struction of steel ships than any other country enjoys, that our workmen are the best in the world; and he is con vinced that, in spite of the fact that their wages are from 30 to 50 per cent higher than the wages paid to British workmen, and 100 per cent higher than those paid to the Germans, the Ameri cans are today building ships more cheaply than any other people. And yet the people are asked to tax them selves to pay a subsidy to the owners of steamships in this country. TARIFF WALL CRUMBLING. There are signs of disintegration in the tariff wall erected years ago as a barrier against the products of foreign labor. The purpose for which the tariff laws were passed has been served but it is not American labor alone that has profited thereby. By its aid have grown up corporations which have become op pressive in their dealings with their employes and with the consumers of their products. It is this latter condi tion which is causing statesmen to be gin to cast about for a way out. One of the most significant utterances on this subject that has appeared is that of the newly elected senator from Iowa, Mr. Dolliver. In an address at the joint session of the legislature upon his reelection he said: "There never has been a time and there never will be a time when an American industry, making an un equalled and even a precarious fight with foreign competitors will not find among our people the spirit of encour agement and helpfulness expressed in the laws of the United States and vet nobody is any longer blind to the fact that with many of the industries of the United States the rates of duty, which, In 1897, were regarded as reasonable and were in fact, reasonable, have since that time, owing to the curious develop ment of our industrial and commercial life, become unnecessary and in many eases even absurd. They stand on our statute books today no longer a shield for American labor but they have In many cases been turned as a weapon of offense against the American mar ket themselves. "I believe that I speak for the aver age Judgment and good sense of the whole community of Iowa when I say that these defects in our laws ought to be corrected and I express a confidence that the congress of the United States will be able In ft spirit friendly to the principles upon which the protective tariff rests to correct these defects In a business like way, unless we are com pelled to admit that congress has be come helpless In the presence of ques tions like these." BRITISH CRUELTIES IN THE BERMUDAS. From the Providence Telegrs-n. It is not expected that prisoners of war will be supplied with pianos, quail on toast, "lobster Newburg" and broadcloth suits, and each one given an automobile with a race course on w hich to exercise it; but it is expected that a Christian nation will manifest some heart in its dealings with human beings even thought they may be prison ers of war. The Lend-a-Hand society of Boston has been engaged for months in col lecting and shipping supplies of cloth ing and food to the Boer prisoners held by the British in Bermuda. Their agent, the Rev. W. S. Key, of Boston, has just returned from a visit to the prison camps, on six different islands where he was permitted to visit and talk with the prisoners. He reports finding about 6.000, 200 Of vhom are boys under 18, and 100 are decrepit old men. No reasonable fault can be found with the precautions ta ken to prevent escape, but there is abundant reason to criticise the food Drovided. as Insufficient and unsubstan tial, for these prisoners, and they com plained of having no clotmng except Insr what thev wore when captured. Some of them had not had a change of underwear for sixteen months. During Mr. Key's visit to the camps, clothing was distributees dui nais. caps, socks, towels, handKercmeis, un derclothing, suspenders and soap, needles, thread, buttons and jackknives he says are sorely needed. The re straint Is affecting their health, and through the small food allowance many are emaciated. Perhaps if the men had knives they could whittle out buttons, and If they were permitted to go fishing they could find their own soap. Hut it is noticed that the British keep their guard pretty closely on the watch during tne aay, and the search lights turned on at night, and the Boers will remain until the British get ready to permit them to go. GLOBE SIGHTS fFrom the Atchison Globe.J Never consult two people about one horse trade. If whisky throws other people, it will throw you. Every one thinks that he is not gos siping; that he is sin ply talking. Some people keep up a bluff so long they can't shake it after the cause ia gone. Of course you don't know much, but how you hate to have people check you up. Surgery occasionally wins; but it fails often enough to warrant close watch ing. A man never knows how much atten tion he can attract until he comes down street limping. A woman always refers to her phy sical as "Doctor." A man always calls fcim "Doc." An Atchison man has his conscience so educated fhat whatever suits him, suits his conscience. After a man passes forty, the people are terribly interested in learning if he has made out his w 11 L An Atchison girl who lately married a "good man." already has her mother and sister living with her. When a dressmaker gets a perfect fit in a garment, the woman wearing it claims she charged extra for it. An Atchison woman has been Invited to visit in Leavenworth, but will not go; she has nothing new to wear. If a man is satisfied when his wife's mother has come to live with them, it is a pretty good sign she has money.

That girl." a man said today, "al ways attracts my attention." "Why?" a friend inquired. "Because she wears her rainy day skirt so short." was the reply. When a sick woman refuses to try the medicine her friends suggest, they begin to calculate how soon she will die, and what they will wear to the funeral. "Atchison Is getting to be such a town for unions," Eph. King said to day, "that after awhile a man will be compelled to go to bed at 7 o'clock in the evening, to give his union suit a rest." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Everything goes round in a sewing circle. An infant prodigy at 4 may be a fool at 40 A cynic is a man who has made a lifelong study of woman. Many a well-bred girl discovers that her first cake is dough. Wall street continues to be the fa vorite winter watering place. Don't count your chickens until they are big enough to bluff a cat- The man who doesn't know right from wrong almost invariably does wrong. The trouble with the average woman's will is that it has too many codicils. Adversity may have Its uses, but it's the abuses thereof that make a man sore. Onway to earn a living is by honest labor but lots of men never think of trying it. Solomon s reputation for wisdom may have been due to his having originated the habit or giving advice. If a young man is In love with a girl and she refuses to marry htm It may break his heart; if she does marry him the chances are it will break his pock etbook. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press.l Take care of the pennies and the pounds will spend themselves. What a man wants to do with a wo man Is to love her in her way and let her love him in the same way. You can fool a woman Into thinking she is fooling you, but you can't fool her Into thinking you are fooling her. When a woman goes into a dry goods shop to buy a spool of thread she be gins by pricing $2,500 Russian sables. A man can love a woman with a dog, and he can love a woman with, a cat, but he emits at a widow with three children. When a man says It is snowing he means that it is snowing now; a wo man means that it was snowing yes terday or will snow tomorrow, or that it is doing anything but snowing now. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Any woman can entertain a suspic ion. Every school house has its room for improvement. Counterfeit money that is passed is not a thing of the past. "A woman's club," says the cynical bachelor. "Is a weapon with which to kill time." Every man likes to see the right pre vail because we all feel we are on that side. The woman, with political ambitions would probably like to be the speaker of the house. It seems queer that stage carpenters don't know anything about building tallyho coaches. Pome fellows paint the town red, but over In Camden they are going to use whitewash. 0mm Headache, Boar Stomach, Dizziness, Indigestion and Constipation, are symptoms of a disordered stomach. The Bitters is a spe cific remedy for the stomach, and will cure these diseases. We urge you to give it trial. STOMACH A crowd of young girls have organized a club which will be known as the M B.

Asks For Cancellation of Con tract and $13,000. Lizzie Wooster, of Sallna, author of the Wooster Primers and Readers, through her attorneys, Ferry Doran and Garver Larimer, today brought suit against the Crane Publishing com pany of Topeka for the recovery of $13, 000 and the cancellation of all existing contracts between them relative to tbe publication of her books. Tho petition alleges that on February 19, 1800, a contract was made with Crane Co., by the terms of which the aeienaants in the suit were to publish and place on sale the series of school books and that of the sales made, the plaintiff was to receive 10 per cent on all outside tbe state of Kansas and 6 per cent on all made in the state of Kansas. The petition further alleges that said publishing company agreed to make semi-annual statements of sales made and that within four months after each statement, the araount due wouia he paid. The petition alleges that the com pany refused to make the semi-annual reports and that contrary to the terms of the contracts, no efforts were made for the introduction of her books in the various schools of the state of Kansas and other states. The petition also charges that the de fendant company, instead of pushing the sale of the books, entered Into com binations with other book companies in Buch manner as to work disadvantage to the Wooster books. It charges that the company is a New Jersey corpora tion and is not liable under the Kansas double liability law. The petition concludes by praying re lief, aa follows: "Wherefore, said plaintiff prays that said contracts and each of them be declared rescinded: that defendant be required to surrender and cancel the same, and fully account to plaintiff for all things done under said con tracts, and pay to her such sum as upon such accounting may be found to be due as her royalties; and that said defendant be enjoined from any fur ther publication of said books, chart, boxes, or any of them, and from mak ing any use thereof in conflict with the rights secured to plaintiff by said copyrights. "Said plaintiff further prays for Judgment against said defendant for two thousand dollars (J2.000) for serv ices performed and for eleven thousand dollars ($11,000) damages sustained, and for such other and further relief to which she may be entitled." LONG" OPPOSES IT. Congressman Not Friendly to Mexican Reciprocity. Congressman Chester I. Long is not particularly friendly to the idea of re ciprocity with Mexico. He is, however, heartily in favor of reciprocity with Cuba, including the admission of Cuban sugar. In view of the fact that it is Congressman Long's district that is try ing to build up the beet sugar industry and that is protesting against the ad mission of foreign sugar free until the beet sugar industry is thoroughly estab lished, this stand taken by Congress man Long is of interest. Mr. Longs views on Mexican reci procity are at variance with those of M. M. Sherman, A. B. Hulit, and others who have spent several years in Mexico. Mr. Long claims that the west will not profit by the development. In a letter read before the reciprocity convention last night he says that Mexico is a coun try of great agricultural resources, and he then continues: 'It is quite apparent," he said, "that with the development of Mexico, she will become more directly a competitor of the Kansas farmer than furnish him a market for his products. I do not oppose reciprocity with Mex ico, but only show how difficult it will be to make an agreement from the fact that Mexico has so little that we want that is not already free, and that if we make an agreement. Mexico will not give us concessions on agricultural pro ducts. SHERIFFS WILL WAIT. Uncertain Until They Hear From Su preme Court.

Senate Asked to Yole Schley a Sword and Medal. Washington, Jan. 23. Mr. Nelson called up the department of commerce bill in the senate and the various amendments offered yesterday were considered. Soon after the senate convened Mr. Hale (Me.) moved that when the senate adjourned today it be until Monday next. Pending action upon the motion, Mr. Lodge (Mass.) in charge of the Philip pine tariff bill said he had been inform ed by Mr. Rawlins in charge of the minority substitute that the opponents of the measure were not prepared to proceed with the debate today but would be on Monday. Mr. Lodge gave notice that on and after Monday he would press the measure daily for con sideration. Mr. Hale's motion then was adopted. Mr. Mason (111.) offered the following Joint resolution: "That the thanks of congress be here by tendered to Admiral Winfield Scott Schley for his brave and able conduct while In command of the American fleet while at the victorious battle of San tiago. "That a sword be presented to him by the secretary of the navy of the United States; and the sum of $10,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated for the purpose of this resolution out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. "That the secretary of the navy shall cause to be struck bronze medals, com memorating the battle of Santiago and distribute the same to the officers and men under command of Schley during said battle of Santiago." Mr. Mason said the resolution was practically identical with that adopted in the case of Admiral Dewey. 'I think we would better let this res olution go over," suggested Mr. Hale, chairman of the committee on naval affairs. "The matter involved is in con troversy. It ought to go to a commit tee." "I do not see that it is necessary," said Mr. Mason, "that the resolution should go to a committee. It is a state ment of a historical fact which has been passed upon by the American people. Under the rules it can be read a second time and passed." The chair explained that the resolu tion could not be read a second time in the face of objection which had been made. Mr. Hale said he had no objection to the second reading of the resolution and It was read again. Free Souvenirs.

A Kansas City paper gives the follow ing account of the meeting: At their annual meeting at noon to day the stockholders of the Missouri and Kansas Telephone company voted to increase the company's capital stock from 2 millions to million dollars. This does not mean that the company will immediately double the extent of its operations, but is simply to au thorize by the necessary sale of stock the expenditure of money aa needed to .that limit. The company already has L"i millions Invested in its plant, and has been for several years spending about one-half million a year in extend ing its business. The improvements in Kansas City de cided on at the meeting today include the building of a telephone building for the east office, now in rented rooms at Ninth and Prospect, and for the Hick ory office, now at Twelfth and Hickory.

Swayze has begun work on a new book record ing all the bonds filed by county offlceis since Shawnee county was organized. Accompanying the bond of W. P. Hicklin, appointed public administrator August 20, 1S55, by John W. Geary, gov ernor of the territory of Kansas, is the oath of office, which now seems pecu liar. The oath is as follows: "I, William P. Hicklin. do solemnly swear upon the holy evangelist of Al mighty God that I will support the con stitution of the United States and that I will support and sustain the provis ions of an act entitled an act to organ ize the territories of Nebraska and Kansas and the provisions of the laws of the United States commonly known as the fugitive slave law and faithful ly and Impartially and to the best of my ability demean myself in the dis charge of the duties of public adminis trator." TAUER CASE GOES UP. Attorneys Apparently Not Satisfied With Decisive Decisions. The case of Barbara Tauer against the estate of Sarab A. Sells will be ap pealed to the supreme court. Miss Tauer, who was Mrs. Sells' com panion, was allowed a claim of $15,000 for ten years' services to Mrs. Sells, against the estate by a Jury in the pro bate court. The payment of the claim was refused by the administrator, P. I. Bonebrake, and tie suit was carried to the district court where a Jury again allowed Miss Tauer the full claim with interest. Mr. Bonebrake was disposed to drop the litigation then and pay the claim but several of the heirs favored appealing the case. R. H. Gaw, stenog rapher in the district court, has prepar ed the transcript of the evidence. His bill is $96.50. The transcript covers over 600 typewritten pages.

OUTSIDERS ARE HERE. Incoming Santa Fe Trains Crowded With Tisitors. Plamondons Engaged For Res of the Time. Topeka Amateurs Shine Today and Tonight. Wednesday was a record breaker in point of attendance at the Midwinter exposition. During tha afternoon and evening 5,424 persons paid for admission to the show. This brings the total paid attendance for the first three days to 10,699. The exposition, aided by the reduced rates on the railroads, is attracting a great number of people from over the state. The inbound trains on all the railroads leading to Topeka have been crowded during the days the reduced rates are in force. Testerday two ex tra coaches were placed on the Santa Fe trains from the west and an extra coach was needed on the inbound train on the Atchison branch. The same condition is also true of the Rock Island railroad, which has brought hundreds of people here during the past four days. People coming to Topeka from dis tant towns are expressing themselves as well pleased with the exposition. Twe people from Hutchinson yesterday made the rounds of the show and went away saying they felt repaid for the trip. The Midwinter exposition is in reali ty a show of no small consequence. The Commercial club of Topeka and Mr. R. S. Brigham who has had personal man agement of the -exposition have done themselves proud in arranging the dis play. The people at large have had no con ception of the vast manufacturing, mining and financial interests of the state and the array of exhibits put be fore the people in attractive form at the exposition is doing much to dispel this ignorance. The almost unlimited resources of the state of Kansas are becoming known. The medium of the exposition is one of the best to advertise the advantages and resources of the state and alreadj plans are being discussed for an exposi tion next year. An amusing incident occurred at one of the booths yesterday. A big crowd surrounded the booth, and a man stood In line, waiting his turn to be served. A woman was before the man in the line and when she reached the counter, spent fully ten minutes in sampling the various delicacies offered. Finally, as she turned to leave the booth, the man said: "I beg your pardon, madam, but I believe you missed something." "Oh! did I?" she answered eagerly. "What was it?" "Go to the booth around the corner," came the answer, "they have vitrified bricks there." And the woman started in quest of the booth around the corner, perhaps thinking that in vitrified bricks she had found a new form in which ice cream was served. The booth of the Waconda Water company is next to the aisle leading to one of the stairways to the balcony on the north side of the hall. On the coun ter is placed nearly three dozen bottles of the water. Two little colored boys, under the mistaken impression that the bottles contained beer, slyly watched for an opportunity to "sneak" one of the bot tles. Taking the bottle to a corner behind the stairway, one of the boys pulled a cork-crew from the depths of a pocket and soon the popping of the cork an nounced they had the bottle open. The stairway is little used, but the noise of the cork being pulled attracted the attention of the guard on duty near there, and he started an investigation that resulted in the discovery of the two boys huddled close together, trying the liquid. When the guard arrived on the scene, he got there Just in time to hear a conversation like this: "I say, Ras, we done been fooled. This stuff don't taste familiar to me." And he held the bottle at arm's length while he smacked his lips to wonder what be had tasted. "Hand it over to me," commanded Ras. But Rastus could throw no light on the subject and they were about to abandon the bottle when the guard in terfered and put them out of the build ing. The vaudeville programme for today and tonight embraces a numberof stunts by the local amateurs. This afternoon, Libby Hill, who Is wall known in To peka because of her singing, appeared and scored a hit. She was followed by Azel Hughes in songs and dances and Isa belle Brown, soprano. Plamondon and Amondo have been reengaged to appear both afternoon and evening during the remainder of the week. Their original contract was to appear the first three and last three days of the exposition, but their work on the revolving ladder in mid-air, has been so popular with the crowds at the exposition that they have been engaged for the entire time. John Dee, the Juggler, pleased the Uaudienced last night. He will appear again tomorrow night and every other night after that until the close of the exposition. He will also work Saturday afternoon. Zoa Matthews, a coon song specialist from Chicago arrived last night and appeared for the first time this after noon. She sings several coon songs and dances a few steps that calls forth a generous applause. She will appear again tonight and will be here until Saturday. Tonight the remainder of the ama teurs who have entered the contest will appear. A team composed of Fay Tincher and Austin Ripley will sing and dance: Pauline Marshall will sing and Roy Wood will do a buck and wing dance. The judges of the amateurs will be J. L. King, Robert Pierce and John B. Marshall. In the. voting contest to determine who shall receive the Conn gold cornet offered by Bandmaster Innes to most popular cometist -in Kansas. Mrs. F. E.

An interesting exhibit is that of the Fort Scott Cement association, of Kan sas City, Mo. This concern is sales agent for .Jhe Fort Scott hydraulic cement ana me Aetna cement piaster, two Kansas products that are not ex celled in any state in the union. Hydraulic cement rock was discov ered at Fort Scott In 1868, and a mill was built with an output of ten bar rels of cement per day. This was in creased from time to time as the local trade increased, no effort being made at that time to get into the larger mar kets. In the year 1888 another mill of larger capacity was built, new mar kets were sought and an industry was established so at this ti.ne, the opening of the year 1902, the combined capacity of the two mills is 1.500 barrels daily. Both mills are equipped with the most improved machinery and appliances to produce a uniform, high grade cement at the lowest minimum of cost. Fort Scott cement has always been popular with Topeka builders. Many thousand barrels were used in the statA house. Almost 8,000 barrels were used in the construction of the Auditorium and the new Parkhurst-Davis building. In Kansas City the concrete in over 160 miles of pavement wasmade from Fort Scott cement In the exhibit at the exposition there is a piece of con crete that has been in use in a Kansas City pavement for eight years. It is still as solid as a granite rock. The Aetna cement plaster mills are located at Dillon, in Dickinson county. They are the largest in the state, hav ing a capacity of 100 tons dally. The operation of this mill is in the hands of experts in all its details, the superin tendent being the pioneer in the manu facture and development of cement plaster In Kansas. The Dillon plaster beds are larger in extent and are more uniform in quality than any others. Aetna cement plaster has no equal in quality. It is more uniform, is stronger, richer, bet ter milled and better fiber ed than any other brand of plaster. A unique feature of the Fort Scott association's exhibit Is a plaster statue of the "Bee-ess." People who do not know the origin and character of this monster are given at the booth a pamphlet entitled "The Secret History of the Bee-ess." MADE IN TOPEKA XT. S. A.

Here the products of the Currie Windnill company are explained in an interesting manner. The Currie galvanized steel windmill is not a new and untried mill, but one that has stood the test for the last six years in the north, east, south andest, and has gained an enviable reputation. It is possessed ot many up-to-date im provements and special features that make it the superior of any of its com petitors. Its available power is twenty five per cent greater than that of any other mill owing to the improved con struction of the wheel. That the Currie company have faith in the merits of their mill is shown by the broad guarantee they make that the mill will not blow down unless, the tower goes with it and that it will not be injured in any wind that doe not disable good substantial buildings In the vicinity. They also, warrant the wheel, shaft-boxes and pitman not to wear out nor cut the wheel-shaft or wrist pins for five years, whether oiled or not. -The Currie company is dsing the windmill business of the west. Mr. Cur rie says: "We are a western manufac tory and respectfully ask the patron age of western trade. Our productions are standard, first-class in every respect and are sold on their merits. "If you want the most powerful, strongest, best made, least complicated, the best regulating mill, one that will work on any kind of a pump, with any size cylinder, and in any depth of Well, one that will wear the longest, and look the prettiest, buy the Currie Steel mill." The Currie company also manufac ture several styles of gTindinsr mills. The superior merits of these machines have won them a well deserved popu larity. OTTO KTTEHNE'S bTJCCES& His Booth an Attractive Feature of Exposition. "Otto Kuehne has about the best dis play in the whole exposition," is the exclamation heard on every hand at the Midwinter exposition that is now in full progress at the Auditorium. And the Kuehne booth is to say the least an attraction, standing as it does in the inner court in full view from every part of the house and directly in front of the stage. The small sized sample bottles of catsup distributed by Kuehne are in de mand. The little bottles are prized more highly than a large bottle would be If they were distributed free, simply because it Is unique because it is a novelty. Another feature that is distinctively characteristic of the Kuehne booth is the free distribution' of pickles. Three pretty girls are employed every after noon and evening in distributing the pickles and pictured pamphlets. The Kuehne booth was purchased in Chicago, where was used at the World's fair. It is a handsome isolid oak structure, and contains fully $1,000 worth of bottled goods for table use. WILL MAKE X7P PRETTY. That Is What the Western Toilet Co. Does. An exposition booth of especial in terest to the ladies Is that of the West ern Toilet company. This, is a Topeka institution and one that is meeting with well deserved success. Their leading product is Almond Meal. This is a cleansing powder to be used in place of soap. The Hse of soap on the face is said to cause the skin to chap, and to bring pimples and blackheads. Almond Meal brings out the natural oil of the skin, cleans thoroughly and keeps away wrinkles. This preparation Is put up in convenient metal boxes and is sold at drug stores- and at Warren M. Crosby's. The Western Toilet company has been established in Topeka about four years. Mrs. Jennie Rawson who is at the head of the concern has made a thorough study of toilet preparations. She says that Almond Meal does all that is claim ed for it, is harmless, and Is not sur passed by any article of its kind. The Western Toilet company also make Ze-Ni Cream, an excellent face cream and one that is Justly popular with Tapeka ladies. "LEE BRAND" IS HERE. How Salina Wholesale Irlrm Has Profited by the Exposition. The exhibit of the H. D. Lee Mercan tile company, of Salina, at the Mid winter exposition is distinctly one of the brands of goods manufactured by that company. The Lee company has 70 feet of booth frontage, and is one of the most prom inent exhibits at the exposition, occu pying as it does a position near the main entrance. The booth is in charge of Mr. Potter, of Salina. "I am well pleased with the exposition and the results that we are getting," said Mr. Potter today. "We have taken over 700 orders from Topeka people who have been at our booth, tried our samples, and who have decided to keep .on using them. These orders we are going to turn over to the grocers of the city; that Is, to those who want to handle our line of goods. The orders will be filled by these gro cers." The Lee concern Is progressive. It Is making the Lee brand will known in Topeka. Nothing is exhibited in the booth that does not bear the Lee brand. Boys' 50o Under wear, at Boys' 35c Gloves and Mitts, at Boys' SOo Everyday Shirts, at $1.95 Entlrs Builllng. 709 Eiuas Av It is on all the printed matter and the booth is surmounted by a flaming red electric sign bearing the letters "Lee." The products put up and Sold by the Lee concern are baking powder, biscuit and pastry flour, pure ground spices, flavoring extracts, Sensation Mocha and Java coffee, and canned California fruits of all kinds. Pretty girls serve cake made from the biscuit and pastry flour all afternoon and evening, as well as hot buttered biscuits.

"The Lee Monthly" is the title of an attractive humorous illustrated maga zine published by the Lee concern, and which is distributed at the Lee booth. Those who desire to receive it will be placed on the mailing list free of charge and they will get the paper every month as long as they live, and longer, "unless we get notice of their death," explained Mr. Potter. "The Lee Monthly" contains a dozen pages of clever up-to-date jokes and catchy illustrations. It also contains three or four pages of advertisements of the Lee brand of goods. It is print ed in colors and is a really desirable periodical. POLICE JOTTINGS. All la Quiet in the Inner Ciicleg. Officers Much Elated Over tbe Capture of Burglars. HE new police de partment is mak ing a poor show ing for a starter. One arrest per diem is the record they have made. T o d a y's victim was Samuel Hay den, who stood ac cused of stealing two small lumps of coal. It is al leged that he also stole a wheelbar row to use in the transportation of the carboniferous article aforemen tioned. He gave the court an ex planation as long as his record this morning, to no avail. He would not plead guilty, and was held over till witnesses could be collected. It is customary in Buch cases where a thirty cent theft is at stake, to fix it so the city will be out thirty dollars. The police are much elated over the capture of the gang who burglarized Raffeloch's store. They are now con fident that they have the entire crowd, although one of the prisoners declares that there were thirteen -members.

The hearing in city court is set for January 27. The police received a circular this morning announcing the robbery of five members of the Missouri Pacific steel gang No. 3, at Bushong, Kansas. These men were robbed of their pay checks January 20. Following is a list of the names, numbers and amounts on the checks: John Dillard, check No. 1826, $44 75; Henry Clark, check No. 23, $17.25; J.

White, one of the discharged po licemen, was requested to keep his beat until the return of Mike Ring, who was to take his place. White was not dis posed to take kindly to this arrange ment, and his job is now vacant. Ring will probably go on duty tonight. Ex-Chief Stahl is not yet out of a Job. He is in great demand as a witness, and will spend all this week and part of next telling what he learned of; the joints from personal observation.

Refuses to Talk About Bailey's Candidacy. Capt. John Seaton is over from Atchi son today. There is nothing unusual about this statement, as Captain Seaton's business frequently brings him to Topeka, but as this one is immediately after the announcement of W. J. Bailey's can didacy for governor, it was thought that this trip might have some political significance. But Captain Seaton denies it- He says he came to Topeka on a purely business matter, and ia paying- no at tention to politics. "You noticed Bailey's announcement, did you. Captain?" suggested a reporter to him. "Yes, I see Bailey has shied his castor Into the ring. But I imagine there will be a number of others before, the state convention meets." "How about you?" asked the reporter. "I am paying no attention to poli tics." replied the captain. "I am not giving politics a minute's consideration. My trip to Topeka is purely on business matters. I ant behaving myself and let ting politics entirely alone." BUILD MOKE MACADAM. Washburn Road to Be Extended Into Seabroofc.

White, Ada, Kas. F. C. Maegley, Topeka. M. M. Sherman, Geneseo, Kas. Eugene Rust, traffic manager Kan sas City stock yards. J. E. Baird, Kansas City. The directors have full control of the business of the league and elect the officers. The directors met last night and elected Governor Stanley president of the league; A. B. Hulit, secretary; P. I. Bonebrake, treasurer; executive com mittee, C. B. Hoffman, K. C Maegley, and James Butler. C. B. Hoffman, of Enterprise, read an instructive paper on the milling in dustry and Its relation to Kansas. He showed of what great value it would be to the state if the entire wheat crop could be milled at home and exported in the shape of flour. Instead of export ed before it is ground. He protested against the railroads giving wheat a better freight rate than flour, because under present conditions flour is also discriminated against in tariffs in for eign countries. Mr. Hoffman's figures also showed that it would employ 16,000 men all the time to grind an average Kansas wheat crop, which would rep resent a population of 80,000 people. If the milling industry were fully devel oped it would therefore be by far the greatest manufacturing industry in the STOCK DEVELOPMENT IN MEXICO. One of the practical papers read" to the convention was one by M. M. Sher man, of Geneseo. It showed the great development which has taken place in Mexico in recent years and the possibili ties of Mexico as a market for the products of Kansas, particularly with reference to high bred stock. Mr. Sherman is able to speak with au thority on the subject, as he lived for nine years in Mexico, and now makes yearly trips down there on business in terests. He said; "During the past quarter of a cen tury two great agencies have been at work in Mexico, that have set in oper ation progressive changes, the effects of which are now to be seen, and, pur suing the same trend, great results may confidently be predicted. "These agencies, inter-dependent, nave aided each other. First, the establish ment of a stable form of government in the place of chaotic revolutions, has lea the Mexicans to the knowledge that they could enjoy the fruits of their own Industry. Of what use was it to ac cumulate any form of property if a band of revolutionists were to come along and confiscate the accumulations J of labor ana tnnrtr une cnange oi condition from" revolution to stability of government has caused and is effect Inf a ereater change in the advance ment of the character of the people of Mexico than all the wars and vicissi tudes through which that people have passed since the beginning of their life. In this instance the victories or peace have been far more renowned than those of war. There is no phase of activity in Mex ico, be it industrial, intellectual, moral. or of whatever form it may be, but has been tremendously affected by this change. With this change the name of President Diaz is inseparably connected. There is no Mexican topic which can be considered, without ref erence to the administration of Diaz, that has led along the path of sta bility and peace. I know of no Mexican hamlet today without a school. The generation of the common people of Mexico that has gone by could not read nor write. The generation coming on today can read and write. There is no more eloquent statement of prog ress that can be made than this. "The second great agency of prog ress in Mexico has been the railway. While President Diaz has been the great factor in giving to Mexico a stable gov ernment, it is the American that has entered Mexico and built the railways. It may well be a source of gratification to the people of the United States that our government was able to extend the power of our friendship in expelling the French. As Juarez welcomed that aid. so Diaa welcomed the coming of the railway builder from the republic of the north. The latter has doubtless been the more potent force in Mexican development. "While this audience may not have experienced the retarding effect of rev olution, it is hardly necessary for me to dwell upon the developing rorce or the railway. Those living between, the Missouri river and the Pacific ocean know the meaning of the coming of the railway. They have witnessed the magnificent conquest of an empire by the 'black horse cavalry of civilization.' Sufficient to say that stable government and the railway have been and are to day acting together in making Mexico a progressive country. The resultant of both forces is being exerted at the same time. "The broad, general condition is that Mexico is opening up to a new life. This means increased wants. What ever Mexican subject one may have to discuss, to him who saw Mexico twsnty !r. Lyon's PERFECT Toottl PoudOF AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY. Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century years ago and sees it today, It is im possible to present it without bringing forward as the chief element of con sideration that Mexico is not what it was, and it has the promise of great advancement. "We all know in a general way that Mexico is without pure bred stock. What I have thus far said has been an endeavor to point out that such gen eral changes have taken place, and are going on, that this Ucind of stock will be wanted. "Taking up the subject of cattle, we will bear in mind that during the epoch of revolutions the wilder and fleeter of foot the steer, the greater the proba bility of his owner maintaining a prop erty interest in him. Again, he must be a good traveler to reach a far distant market. Today he does not have to continually run for his life, and he can ride to market in a palace car. So it is that stability of government and the railway enter into the shaping of the characteristics of the cattle of a coun try. The requisites of the past become the deficiencies of the present. Again, the ranges are being fenced. This makes it possible for the owner to se cure for his own use the improved stock that he may have imported. The dif ferent elements of progress have to go hand in hand. "President Diaz welcomed the builder of railways to Mexico. More keenly alive- to the stock interests of Mexico, he sent his son-in-law as ambassador to Kansas City, who took back with him by special train a fine delegation of blooded bulls, which were paraded through the principal streets of the City of Mexico with royal honors. "As to the demands of the range trade, it will be almost identical with that of New Mexico and Arizona. This will apply to kinds of cattle, age, and the time of shipment. Like' these terri tories, the high altitude parts of Mex ico are free from Texas fever ticks. My own preference for a range bull is the Hereford. Year before last 92 breeding bulls were shipped to Mexico. Last year there were 1,195. This is en couraging, and demands attention. All kinds of improvement in Mexican stock may be looked for along the male line; that is, in the near future. "While the hogs of Mexico are in great need of betterment, with the nor mal price of corn at two cents a pound, there is not much trade to be looked for in this direction. Even with a more extended growth of alfalfa, the price of corn will doubtless affect the value of this plant. Conditions are such In Mexico that Kansas ought always to be able to sell Mexico her pork cheaper than she can raise it. While Mexico can grow some cattle, she is not a beef producing country, for the same reason. When the ideas of this conven tion become formulated by the United States and Mexico into laws tn con formity with nature's products, Mexi can cattle will be sent to Kansas to be fattened and returned dressed beef to Mexico. "Concerning horses, Mexico need3 larger and better horses and mules. This is particularly tiue of the agricul tural parts of the republic, and for city use. The strictly grazing parts of Mex ico, where little grain is used, are not suitable for the maintenance of heavy draft horses or good roadsters. "Regarding sheep, the best wool pro ducing varieties ought to be in demand, as wool will doubtless maintain rela tive high value in Mexico. "To sum up the Mexican condition, activities have been at work that lead those people to realize that improved stock is to be desired. The same forces are bringing forward the idea that such stock must be procured if it be possible. The American stock raiser is the one to supply this demand. As far as custom duties go, he finds no bar to the entry of pure bred stock into Mexico, for, as a rule, such stock is admitted free. But there is another consideration he must not overlook. Mexico is not a rich country. If we sell to her we must take something in return by whijh she can pay for what she buys. That I take it reciprocity is the idea of this convention. "It has been an accepted precept with the agricultural interests of the United States that willingly, cheerfully, they have permitted themselves to be taxed by a high protective tariff to support the manufacturing industries that home man ufactories might be built up in these United States. Those manufactories have been created, and. Biich is their marvel ous prosperity today that they are selling their products cheaper in the foreign mar ket than at home. What was given as a boon Is now being claimed as a right. The day is passed when agriculture has to maintain manufactories. The grand total of live animals and animal products ex ported during the past year from the United States reached almost one quarter of a billion dollars in value. As a rule we men in the-live stock industry do not need protection. No more does the man ufacturer, especially at our expense. What we want is a market. We want a place to sell what we produce. We do not sell our products cheaper in Europe and South America than we do at home: Our home folks have the benefit of our lowest prices. Mexico is not a large country; it is not a rich country, but it does lie near to us and it should be our duty to look after that market and see what we can do there. If Mexico would admit our live hogs free of duty we could admit her live cattle and the United States would not lose by the bargain. Let her admit our apples and we could take her oranges. "When the surplus for foreign export reaches such a figure as one-quarter of a billion dollars a year, all the protective duties that can be assessed can not ad vance the price of the commodity. A cur tailment of the foreign market and the throwing of that product back upon the home market will reduce the price. For this reason it is markets we want. "Some of our industries, manufacturing and others, have formed trusts or pools, eliminating competition, and by this means have fixed an arbitrary price for the sale of their products at home. They sell cheaper in the foreign market than in the home market. In this way the protec tive duties enjoyed by them are made to serve as a bounty upon the articles they export. Neither the live stock producers of this country nor the farmers will be come formed into any trust or pool now, nor at any future time. Hence a protec tive duty can not be converted into a bounty by them. As far as the farmers or live stock men of this country asking a direct bounty for their products from the government, they would have tons of righteous political economy thrown at their faces if they did. "The nourishing of infant industries in the United States was the developing theory for the century that has gone. The agricultural interests of this country did their duty and their whole duty bv the manufacturing industries, by the raiiwavs and by every form of struggling effort worthy of support. These enterprises have become established. The farmers of this country are proud of the part thev have taken in that upbuilding and glory in that success. But as protection was the cry of the last, the watchword of this country is 'a market for our surplus." And those engaged in agricultural pursuits ask that the government shall be so administered that no further favors be given to other industries at our expense. We do ask that in the exploitation of the world for mar kets that in the reciprocal arrangements into which our government shall enter that the products of the farm and ranch have a fair field." HALT ONfARDONS Governor. Stanley Farors Abol ishing Them Entirely; Would Hare Prisoners Released Only on Parole. WHAT HE HAS DONE. Only Four Absolute Pardons Granted by Him.' Society For Friendless Discusses Helping the Fallen. About 100 persons met at the First Congregational church last night to listen to a discussion of the problem, "What Shall we Do with Criminals?" The occasion was the first annual meet ing of the Kansas Society for the Friendless. Judge T. F. Garver, presi dent of the society, presided and made the opening speech. "The object of this society," said Judge Garver, "is to help the ex-criminal, and lead him back to respectability. Thousands and millions of dollars are expended annually for the betterment of the higher classes, schools and col leges are endowed by philanthropists, but our aim is to seek the betterment of the criminal. When one of these unfortunates leaves a penal institution Rev. Edward A. Fredenhagen, General Superintendent Kansas Society for the Friendless. he is without money or friends; it is our purpose to lend him a helping hand." At the close of Judge Garver's ad dress the quartette of the First Con gregational church sang "The Lost Sheep," and was followed by Governor W. E. Stanley. The governor spoke at length on the conditions of the penal institutions of the state, and gave his views of the subject under discussion. "We must view this subject from the standpoint of a cold-blooded business proposition," said Governor Stanley. "The punishment of crime is a neces sity, and always will be We can not abolish punishment, so we must at tempt to abolish crime. In Kansas larceny, or burglary and larceny, is the most prevalent crime, and it is not strange that such is the case. Right here in this city are I don't know how many schools of crime which are edu cating boys to utterly disregard the rights of other people." He said that no public Institution was equal to a home, and as long as boys were allowed to run the streets and frequent the dens where they receive their instruction in crime, we would continue to need peni tentiaries. "I am reaching the conclusion," said Governor Stanley, "that pardons should be an exception, and punishment swift and sure. Give them the limit, but give them a chance by a system of graduation according to their conduct and deportment. Have three grades, and when they reach grade one, make them eligible to a conditional parole. During my term of office I have grant ed only four absolute pardons, and about 88 conditional pardons, or pa roles. Only three of this number have violated the conditions of their parole. In their cases it was the old story, whisky. The curse of liquor is the source of nearly all crime." Mrs. Nation was not present to con tradict the governor, and he spoke at length on the conditions of penal insti tutions, and spoke of the improvements RELIEVE WE ETJCS, Reduced one-half with pure soft water, applied frequently with dropper or eye cup, will remove congestion and Instantly relieve pain and inflam mation. CAUTION Avoid dangerous, irritating Witch Hazel prepara tions, represented to be "the same as" POND'S EXTRACT, which easily sour and generally contain "wood alcohol," a deadly poison. 1WBIR'BUWilr.a that had been made in the reform schools. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon followed with an address on the prevention of crime. His idea is a "social settle ment," such as the "Commons," con ducted by Dr. Graham Taylor, of Chi cago, or the "Hull House," an institu tion founded and maintained by Jane Addams. He told of his experience at the "Commons," where he spent several weeks assisting Dr. Taylor in the work. He is very enthusiastic over the quiet success of these institutions, which are not only for but with the people of the lower social strata. He told of the work of Henry Burke, who is a graduate of Washburn college, and one of whom the college may well be proud. This young man helps in the good work done at the "Commons," and in the summer takes three or four hundred boys out on the lake shore and establishes a camp. This is Dr. Sheldon's idea of the best way to prevent crime, and he hopes to establish some such institu tion in Tennesseetown. "Above all," said Rev. Sheldon, in conclusion, "let us have manual training schools in con nection with all negro schools. This will do more to solve the problem than anything else." STAND BY MITCHELL Mine Workers liegret State ments of Miss Meredith. Indianapolis, Jan. 23. The United Mine Workers' convention today took up the bearing of a partial report of the committee on resolution, which was considered item by item. The resolutions were presented by the committee as it had received them together with its recommendations. The first was that the United Mine Workers' Journal be printed in the Slavonic as well as in the English language. The committee recommended against this and the convention supported the committee. A second resolution was to the effect that two of the pages of the journal be printed in the Polish language. This led to a prolonged discu:g:ion. President Mitchell explained that the experiment of printing two pages of the journal in the Slavonic language had been tried without good results, it cost ing the organization $1,040 to employ a man to set those two pages when for eign circulation was only 1,000. When the convention met it was expected that the special committee appointed to in vestigate charges preferred by Miss Mollie Meredith against President Mitchell and Secretary Wilson would report during the day. Prominent delegates received the un derstanding that the report would com pletely exonerate the two officers of the charges that they misrepresented to the miners the extent of ex-Secretary-Treasurer Piercii financial errors and that the true facts concerning Pearce's misdoings were withheld. MITCHELL IS CLEARED. Iidianapolis, Ind., Jan. 23. The min ers' committee exonerates Mitchell and Wilson and say the statements of Miss Meredith do irreparable damage to the miners' organization. The following report was submitted to and adopted by the miners" conven tion by a rising vote today: To the Officers and Members of the thirteenth annual convention of United Mine Workers of America: Gentlemen We, your committee ap pointed to investigate the charges and counter charges that have passed be tween Miss Mollie Meredith and officers of our organization, beg leave to make the following report: We find there was no foundation In fact for the charges preferred by Miss Meredith, and bes leave to submit the following resolution: "Whereas, One Miss Mollie Meredith has issued circular letters containing statements and making allegations derogatory to the personal and official honor ot the president, the secretary and other officers of the U. M. W. A., and "Whereas, We believe that such state ments, coming from whatever source, are liable to irreparably damage our organization, and should be and are hereby condemned. If any person or persons feel or know that officers or members of the U. M. W. A are dere lict in their duties, charges should and must be preferred In the proper man ner and have the guilty parties prop erly punished: and n "Whereas, Said statements were in tended and calculated to injure the president, the secretary and other offi cers of the U. M. W. A.; and "Whereas. We believe and know that the national officers and our organiza tion did all that honorable men should do to protect our organization and its funds at the time Mr. Pearce was re moved from office: and "Whereas, We have every confidence In the honor. Integrity and faithfulness of our officers: therefore be it "Resolved, That this convention by a rising vote indorse in every particular the declaration of its officers In the Pearce matter." Respectfully submitted. JAMES E. HEENAN, President. !W. D. RYAN, Secretary. REDDEN TRIES IT. f (Continued from First Page.). "Can you remember who sold yoa the beer?" "No, sir," replied StahL E. M. Stahl, another son of Frank Stahl, was called to the stand. "You may state what was called for, said Judge Redden. "Jim Dickson called for beer, and we chipped in and paid for it." replied Stahl. "What was it you got and drank?" "I suppose it was beer." "Where did Gregory go for the beer?" "He went out of the store and was gone about 2 minutes." "Was the money for It paid to Mr. Gregory?" "Yes." "In your judgment what was it?" "My judgment is it was beer." On cross-examination Attorney Hun gate said: "Have you ever drank hop tea?" "No," replied Stahl. "Are you a regular beer drinker?" "No, I get dry once in a while." "Did what you get intoxicate you?" "No." "Will you swear positively what you got was beer?" "Yes." "Why do you think It was beer?" "I have drank beer in some joints in Topeka and it tasted like that." Harry J. Green was the next witness called and testified that he bought wine at Gregory's. James A. Cooper, J. C. Green and Allen Cooper testified to buying beer or hop tea at the Gregory place. BURTON IS WORRIED. Wires Silas Porter to Secure Cummings' Affidavit. Senator Burton yesterday wired Silas Porter, at Kansas City, Kas., to secure from Cummins, the Twentieth Kansas soldier who is accused by one of Colonel Metcalf's witnesses of being one of two soldiers who shot Filipino prisoners, an affidavit which would effectually clear Metcalf of the charge against him. It is said, however, that Cummins refuses to take the blame on his own shoulders and would not make the affidavit. Soldiers who were on the firing line on the day that the alleged shooting occurred, refute the statement that Henderson, another soldier who makes an affidavit damaging to Metcalf, was in the hospital on the day of the shoot ing. They say that Henderson had been in the hospital, but had gotten out and was carrying water on that day.

CORN Weakness in coarse grains resulting from slumps in outside markets yesterday characterized the opening of the grain pits today. Wheat acted in sympathy, but com easily took the lead by its depressing effects. Cables were lower at the start, but Improved later. The improvement, however, seemed to have little strengthening influence. May corn opened 'fic lower, at 63s!W 63c. There was almost an entire absence of buying orders and on weakness shown at Kansas City and the poor cash situa tion. May slid down to 63& 63c. Yester day cash corn at Kansas City sold at 63 &65c, as against 66c the ,day previous. Everybody seemed to have corn for sale. Several large lines were unloaded, but there was a slight rally to 63c toward the end of the first hour. Receipts were 80 cars. General unoading of corn both by out siders and the local crowd almost resulted in a bear raid and pressed May corn down to 62c, a loss of 2c since yesterday. Late in the session shorts covered. There were reports of corn worked for Germany and attention began to be paid to the small es timate for tomorrow cars. Prices ral lied somewhat, but May closed very- weak and lc down, at 62c WHEAT Wheat was weak of itself on lower cables and a lack of any revival to the cash demand, but was further de pressed by corn. Statisticians reported the crop condition favorable and predic tions were for colder weather in the north west. May opened S 9sC lower, at 79 It 79c, sold off to 79c, but on a short de mand at ew prices ralied weakly to 79c. "Wheat news continued bearish and on the corn weakness bears pounded the wheat Dit unmercifully. May slid down to 78c. but reacted well on covering, closing weak and !roQc lower, at 7916'7914c. OATS Oats were inclined to dullness at the opening. The corn weakness was re flected in this pit from the start and on the later decline in corn, oats followed. May started 1'Sc down, at 45fa.45c, sold down to 45c, and reacted to 46c. Receipts were 109 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions showed an improvement over yesterday on better prices and smaller receipts of hogs at the yards. The grain weakness' influence and some selling orders of lard brought small setbacks May pork opened h'u 7c to a shade higher, at S16.5ira-16.55, -sold up to 16.60. and eased again to $16.52: May ard 2Ac lower to unchanged, at $9.47J 9.50, and sold bhek to $.42V.,, and May ribs unchanged to 2c up, at $8.52&.S.5S, and advanced to $8.57.

STOCKS There were running sales at the opening of 4,000 shares of Metropolitan Street Railway at lWAto 171, compared with 1704. last night. The stock was car ried up further to 172. There were ad vances of about a point in Northwestern and Cleveland, C. C. and St. Louis. Other wise the changes were so small and con flicting and the volume of business so light as not to indicate any decided tendency in the market. Transactions In Metropolitan Street Railway continued on a large scale and the price mounted to 173. The strength of this stock and the absence of any pres sure against any of the prominent stocks caused a firm tone all round. Manhattan, B. R. T., Sugar, Amalgamated Copper, St. Paul and Missouri Pacific gained 114 points, Peoria and Eastern rose 1 and Great Northern preferred 2V4 (ex-dividend) points. The tone of the market became lethargic and heavy after midday. Large buying of Sugar up to 124, an advance of ZVi points over last night, did not help the general list. Northwest reacted 1 points. Traders took profits in Manhattan and Metropolitan Street Railway and their re action of a point checked the rise else where.

Grorer Clereland Expresses Himself on Cuban Relations. Tork, Pa., Jan. 23. A. B. Farquhar, of this city, head of the Farquhar Ag riculture works and prominent in Dem ocratic nationai affairs, has received the following from ex-President Cleveland in reply to a letter sent him by Mr. Far quhar relative to the relations of tho United States with Cuba. Estland, Princeton, N. J., Jan. 2L My Dear Mr. Farquhar: I only have suf ficiently recovered from my illness to be about a little and ride out in a limi ted way. Tomorrow I hope to start on a trip to the south, in the expectation that my health will be largely restored by the outing. I received your letter yesterday and was much impressed by the manner in which you discuss our relations and our duty to Cuba. The arguments used in opposition to the tariff concessions she implores based upon our material interests are fallacious, mistaken and misleading, while their source and the agencies of their propagation and spread can not fail to be recognized by every honest, patriotic citizen with shame and humili ation. It seems to me. however, that this subject involves considerations of mor ality and conscience higher and more commanding than all others. The obligations arising from these considerations can not be better or more forcibly defined than was done by President Roosevelt in his message to la the Joy of the household, for without it no happiness can be complete. How sweet the picture of mother and babe, angels smile at and commend tho by the use of Mother's Friend, on t wl rhich toughens and render i.oo oer rrarm ri Fir ran MO congress, nor better emphasized than has been done by Secretary Root and yet congress waits, while we occasion ally hear of concessions which rich su gar interests might approve in behalf of trembling Cuba. I do not believe that nations.any more than individuals, can safely violate the rules of honesty and fair dealing. Until there is no escape, therefore, I will not believe that, with all our fine words and lofty professions, our em brace of Cuba means the contagion of deadly disease. Tours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. GOES A-HUNT1NQ. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 23. Ex-President Cleveland left Princeton last night for the south, where he will remain sev eral days hunting with E. C. Benedict, Rear Admiral Evans, General Anson G. McCook and Herman May. The party will go to Georgetown, S. C, and short ly after arriving there will go to the home of Colonel Alexander, who. lives on an island 18 miles from that city. Mr. Cleveland appears to have regain ed his normal health. He was accora panied as far as Philadelphia by Mrs. Cleveland. RAISES A STORM. Removal of Efficient Police Of ficers Causes Criticism. The friends of the recently removed po licemen are beginning to be heard from. It appears that Henry Bernard and Chas. Smith, who were among those let out, have a lot of friends who are trying to do something for them. A man who lives near Policeman Smith on East Twelfth street dropped into the office of the commissioner of elections yesterday to register his name and also a kick. "I want to tell you," he said, "that the people in my end of town are dead sore about Smith's removal. Smith is the only man that ever made the toughs in that locality behave. Since he has been police man he has cleaned them out. The folks in that part of town are thinking of get ting up a petition, asking the mayor to reinstate him. I am a Parker man, voted for him and got seven other people to vote for him, but I think he has done me a personal injury by removing Charles Smith from the force." The man who was talking is a white man. well known in the southeast part of town, and ex-Policeman Smith is a col ored man. Henry Hemard's removal was a great surprise to people, for he was a supporter of Parker throughout the campaign and was retained by Chief Stahl in spite of the fact, because he was considered an extra good officer. Some attribute the removal of Bernard to the influence of some of the druggists of the city. Ber nard was very active in the campaign which Chief Stahl waged against the drug stores charged with liquor selling. Some of them got it "in for him" and are said to have brought strong political influences to bear to secure his dismissal. Bernard has a reputation among the toughs as a man of iron nerve, but he never found it necessary to abuse his prisoners. It is practically certain that James F. McCabe will be reappointed city engi neer. He has the almost unanimous sup port of the council. Joseph Qriley, the only Democrat in the council, says: "I will do anything in my power to help Jim McCabe retain his place. He has made a good record as city engineer and acted like a man in giving the mayor his resignation. I am for McCabe." There are no; other candidates making a hard fight on McCabe for city engineer, as it is recognized that he has special qualifications for the place which make him a hard man to replace. W. S. Fulton, an instrument man in the city engineer's office, will be displaced. Fulton made himself unpopular with the anti-Hughes element by mixing up in the bitter fight against James 8. Warner in the Fifth ward. It Is believed that Ed G. Smith, the present assistant city engineer, will be retained, as he is a skilful work man and has never mingled in political squabbles much. Jack Briggs, who was dismissed from the street force by Street Commissioner Snyder, over the protest of Councilman Warner, Is said to be slated for the job of fireman at the city building, the posi tion now held by M. B. Younkin. Nels McConnell, aparently, has the best chance to succeed John Alexander as custodian of the city building. D EFIES THE COURTS. New Mayor of San Francisco Wields Official Axe. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 23. Since his inauguration on January 8 last Eu gene E. Schmitz, the labor union mayor of this city, has wielded his official axe with such vigor as to create consterna tion in the various departments of the municipal government. Immediately after having assumed office the new mayor instituted a searching investiga tion into the conduct of the several offi cers, with the result that sweeping re movals are said to be pending and some have already been made. On the 16th instant County Clerk Mahoney was sus pended but secured a writ of injunction preventing the mayor from proceeding further in the matter temporarily. This was for an alleged violation of the puri ty of elections law. Then School Direc tor J. B. Casserty was forced to resign and today E. W. Williams, justice's clerk, was forcibly ejected from his office by the police after having been suspended on the charge that he spent much of- his official time at the race track instead of at his office. Tbat the new mayor is thoroughly in earnest -was shown today when he deliberately dis obeyed a temporary Injunction secured by Williams from the superior court to restrain him from ousting him from officer the B Stock (Hi HANLEY IS ELECTED. Grocers Also Tote to Come to Topeka Next Year. The delegates to the Kansas State Gro cery' association who have been In conven tion here the past two days, decided to re turn to Topeka to hold the fourth annual convention in January, 1903. The conven tion adjourned after the meeting yester day. The election of officers resulted as fol lows Thomas M. Hanley, Topeka, president. James W, Tapp, Wichita, first vice president. J. N.'

Hanley was selected as the dele, gate to the convention of the National Re tail and Wholesale Grocers' association at Milwaukee on January 26. The association pays all the expenses incurred by the trip. Over 300 visitors sat down to the banquet at Metropolitan hall at 9 o'clock last night. T. N. Nelson was toastmaster and toasts were given by, M. K. Burns, Harry J. Wells, Senator J. W. Tapp and Elisha Winter. "SPIDER" MUST STAY. He Won't Be Released From Reform School. Sheriff Cook and Probate Judge Fagan have decided that "Spider" Heppenthal must remain at the reform school. They would not recommend his release. "Spider" derives his nickname from his size and his ability to weave webs for the officers of the law to become tangled In and also to spin his own ladders in tho way of plots to escape from the police. He is a bad boy. The law knows him as an incorrigible. The sheriff and the pro bate Judge do not wish to embarrass the new policemen, so "Spider" will not be re leased. Ryan With. Washington. Chicago. Jan. 23. Jimmy Rvan, ex-captain and right fielder of the Chicago club of the National league, and last year manager of the St. Paul team of the Western league, has secured a soft berth in the American league. The ex-Orphan today signed to play center field with the Washingtons, putting his signature to a contract handed him by Manager Tom Loftus, and which wat witnessed by Fred Postal, part owner of tho Washington club. Had a Oood Time. A. J. Snell wanted to attend a party, but was afraid to do so on account of pains in his stomach, which he feared would grow worse. He says: "I was telling mv troubles to a lady friend, who said: 'Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy will put you in condition for the party. I bought a bottle and take pleasure in stating that two doses cured me and enabled me to have a good time at the party." Mr. Snell is a resident of Summer Hill, N. Y. This remedy is for sale by all druggists. Red Cross Protest. San Francisco, Jan. 23. The Red Cross society of California, through its presi dent, A. E. Harrington, has sent a tel& grain to President Roosevelt stating that in the opinion of this society the present method of government trans portation from this port to the Philip pines cannot be changed, without doing injury to the health and comforts of the officers and enlisted men of the army." This protest has been referred to the secretary of war, who acknowledged Its receipt from the president. CURSE BKJN CURED BY White Ribbon Remedy.

WILL SETTLE IT HERE Whoerer Loses Delegation to Be Oat of Race. Both Candidates Stand Well In the State. There will doubtless be a big contest between R. B. Welch and James A. Troutman for trie control of the Shaw nee county delegation to the Republican state convention. The county could not well ask the nomination of both men on the state ticket, and Welch throws down the gauntlet to Troutman to fight it out in the primaries. It will be a particularly interesting contest. Neither Mr. Welch nor Mr. Troutman belong to the faction which now has control of the party machinery in Shawnee county. Some time ago it was reported that a move was on foot to send an, uninstructed delegation to the state convention. Along with this was a rumor that the larger towns of the state which are in favor of licensing joints will make a united movement to secure a resubmission Republican state 'ticket. If this move should be carried out, neither of Shawnee county's 'can didates would be endorsed, but it is hardly possible that the resubmission element will be able to sidetrack an endorsement of one or the other.' Mr. Welch virtually agrees to abide by the outcome of the fight in Shawnee county and to carry it no further if he is defeated at home. When asked what effect Mr. Troutman's candidacy for governor would have on his candidacy for associate justice, Mr. Welch said: "If the delegation from Shawnee county were to present two candidates to the state convention for nomination, both would be defeated, as a matter of course. The only way I see is for Mr. Troutman and me to measure strength in our home county. I wish the delega tion as a working force for my nomina tion. I suppose Mr. Troutman wants the same thing for him. Well, you see we can not both have it. I believe I have a fair chance to win the nomina tion. So far as I know I ana the only candidate for associate justice from the First congressional district. That dis trict is the only one that does not now have a representative upon the supreme bench, while the Fourth district has two. I have assisted in every campaign beginning with 1886, and many Repub licans are now disposed to help me." "How about the other candidates for governor?" "This is a square fight between Mr. Troutman and me as to who win con trol the Shawnee county delegation, and candidates from the outside ought to keep out of it. "I have nothing more to say except that I think the Republicans of Shaw nee county will settle this matter satis factorily to themselves. I will abide their decision." This is the first real announcement Mr. Welch has made that he will be a candidate. He has been talked of a great deal and the newspapers over the state have said a great many nice things about him. J. G. Slonecker and J. D. McFarland have also been trotting in the "mentioned" list but have got no further, so it is probable, as Mr. Welch claims, that there will be no other can didate for associate justice in the First district. The only other candidate who is talked of to any great extent besides Mr. Welch is Harry Mason, of Garden City. Many of the politicians have been prophesying that Mason will have everything his own way, but he will have a fight before him if Welch car ries Shawnee county and goes into the state convention, because of the great number of candidates in the Seventh district, all of whom expect the sup port of the entire district. Both Troutman and Welch stand well over the state. They are both recog nized as among the very best cam paigners in the entire state, and both have been active on the stump. Trout man will have the advantage of Welch in one way in the state convention, in asmuch as the nomination, for associate justice will be the first one made, and if Welch fails Troutman could then consistently claim the support of Shaw nee county. On the other hand if Welch should win there would be no possible show for Troutman, no matter how strong he might be in other parts of TROUTMAN'S BOOM TAKES WELL. Since Mr. Troutman announced his pandidacy on Monday he has been re ceiving all sorts of bouquets from editors in various parts of the state. Here is one from the Emporia Gazette: "It may be impossible and it may be possible in the exigencies of the coming political convention for the Lyon coun ty delegation to vote for James A. Troutman, of Topeka, who has an nounced that he is a candidate for the Republican nomination as governor. But if Lyon county doesn't gef to Troutman, she will be missing a great opportunity to promote clean politics, and to help make a particularly clean candidate for the Republican ticket this year. Troutman stands for everything that is worth while in Republican poll tics in Kansas. He is able and he is honest. He would make a good candi date, a clean campaign, and a model governor. Stanley has raised the guber natorial standard. But with Troutman in the chair the standard would be maintained. "It is noticeable that this year only the thoroughbreds are entering the gubernatorial race. The men who have announced their candidacy are all men of exceptional ability and unquestioned integrity. Thi3 speaks well for the Re publican party. Clean candidates make strong tickets. Any man who may be nominated this year in Kansas by the Republicans will be a candidate of which the party may bo proud and the state delight to' honor. This is a Re publican year." The Wichita Eagle also says some very nice things about Mr. Troutman. This is particularly interesting-, in view of the fact that it is generally the Wichita idea to go against Topeka's candidates, and also in view of the fact that Mr. Troutman's well known atti tude on temperance matters is not in accord with the Wichita idea. The Eagle says: "Ex-Lieutenant Governor James A. Troutman, of Topeka, will be a candi date for the nomination of governor in the next Republican state conven tion. Mr. Troutman is a solid and In every way capable man, a life-long and active Republican, allied to no faction and boasting of friends and admirers in every section of the state. He would make an ideal chief executive, being a elf-contained and conservative man, liberal in his views, steadfast as the rock of Gibraltar once he has weighed a matter and mad up his mind.

Governor Troutman as a man com mands the respect of all men of all parties who know him, and as he has announced his intention of becoming a candidate he will, no doubt, start in with bis home delegation solid for him. "To what extent Mr. Troutman's an nouncement will complicate the can didacy of other Topeka gentlemen de siring to become candidates for other state positions, or how it will effect the actions and determinations of other men whose names have been- canvassed in connection with the governorship, we could only guess, and such guess would not probably be worth printing.

Record Smashing linn of Cali fornia Limited Jan. 15. Traveled 202.4 Miles in Minutes. 209 69 MILES AN HOUR. Completely Eclipsed the Nelly Bly and Peacock Specials. Fastest Mile Was Made in 52 Seconds. Hecord Was Made Between Junta and Dodge City. La General Superintendent J. E. Hurley reports that on January 15 the east bound California limited smashed ail the records of that train for fast run ning, also the record made on March 30, 1900, by the celebrated '"Peacock spec ial" for the run of i:02.4 miles from La Junta, Col., to Dodge City. Kan. Here are some of the wonderful things which the limited did on January la: In ran from La Junta to Dodge City, 202.4 miles in 209 minutes of actual run ning time. The average speed for the entire dis tance was aH.2 miles per hour. The fastest mile was made in 62 sec onds. The fastest hour's run was 69 milea. "I believe," says Superintendent Hur ley in his report to General Agent W. J. Black, "that this Is the banner run made by this train up to date." The fastest time ever made by a Santa Fe train so far as records shows, was when the Nelly Bly special ran from La Junta to Coolidge, 86 miles, at the rate of 64.65 miles per hour. But tha record of the California limited of 09 miles in one hour's run between La Junta and Podge City makes the Nelly Bly record look like "thirty cents." Perhaps the most wonderful feature of the whole incident is the fact that the run was made with a regular train, without any previous preparation for the record smashing. The same engine drew the train, and the same cars com posed it that are in constant use for the California service of the Santa Fe. Three times before have Santa Fe trains made wonderful time over the La Junta-Dodge City stretch of track. Each of these times the train which did the work was a special, not a regular train. The Nelly Bly special on Jan uary 21, 1890, had an average speed of oa.20 miles per hour between the points mentioned. The Huntington special,, oc cupied by the late President C. P. Hunt Ington of the Southern Pacific, made the distance on May 30, 1899, at the rate of 48.82 miles per hour. The best prev lous record was made by the special train hired by Vice President C. R. Peacock of the Carnegie Iron and Steel company at a cost of $4,000, on March 30. 1900. Mr. Peacock's train averaged 57.12 miles per hour between the points, In all of these runs, the time given is actual running time, stops being count ed out. It is therefore evident that the time of the California limited was nearly a mile an hour faster than any previous record. Superintendent Hurley In his report gives some interesting details of the wonderful record run made on his a vision of the road. The limited was drawn on the day of its race against time by one of the Prairie type of en gines. It consisted of six cars in a solid vestibuled tram. The approxi mate weight of the train was 290 tons. Conductor Kugler was in charge of the train, and Engineer O. W. McCartney was in the engine cab. The number of the engine was 1022. The Limited left La Junta at 1:33 p. m., one hour and 36 minutes behind time. It arrived at Dodge City at 5:12 p. m., only 45 minutes behind time. The time of the run was three hours and 39 minutes. There were two stops of 5 minutes each for water. This is taken out of the running time, making the actual running time 3 hours and 29 minutes, or 209 minutes. Once the train was obliged to slow down between Deerfield and Charleston, and this was simply a dead loss of time. NOT FOR DISPATCHING. Train Orders Will Still Ba Sent by Telegraph. Chicago, Jan. 23. It was said by offi cials of the Illinois Central railroad that the installation of telephones over the system to take the place of the telegraph in handling the private busi ness of the road would be commenced as soon as possible. The larger cities like Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis and Louisville are to be equipped first and connected by pri vate long distance lines. The system will be extended to the smaller cities as fast as possible. The first use of the telephone will be in the administrative department. The next to be taken In will be the traffic department. Then, it Is believed, the dispatchers will use the telephones to ascertain the location of cars, and the last link In the development will be the dispatching of trains with the "hello" instrument. In each city the road will have a com plete local exchange of its own, con nected with the central offices of the local telephone companies. IS Li AND GRANT AFFECTED? Crucial Point in the Fight Against Railroad Merger. As the date approaches for the hear ing of the Northern Pacific-Great North ern merger case in the United States supreme court interest increases as to what the action of the court will be. The opinion is very strong In some quarters that the court will decide it has Jurisdiction in the case and will go Into it on its merits. This opinion is based on that part of the complaint dwelling upon the injury to the state of Minnesota In the matter of its land grants. Corporation lawyers say that when the question of jurisdiction comes up it will be found that the land grant position of the state of Alinnesota with reference to the Pacific roads will be found of Importance. It is claimed that this introduces as between the state and the railroads a money question which may be the determining point in the matter of jurisdiction. WILL BE GOOD. Hill and Harriman Will Obey Sum mons of Commerce Commission. James J. Hill and E. H. Harriman have decided to obey the subpoenas of the interstate commerce commission to be present at the hearing which will begin at Chicago Friday, with a view to ascertain what effect the commu nity of interests is having upon rates. Both magnates have instructed the presidents of the railroads ever which they have authority to respect the sum mons of the commission, and it is ac cordingly expected that when the ses sion is called there will be a full quota of men present representing the community of interests idea. It is stated that both Mr. Hill and Mr. Harriman concluded that owing to the opposition in the northwest to the merger of the northern properties with the Burlington it would not do further to antagonize the public by a disregard of the commission's authority. By re fusing to answer, It is agreed, they would only be putting off the day of Investigation, as the commission would in such event appeal to the United States court for assistance. DOUBLE TRACK FACILITIES. Important Improvements in the 6anta Fe Cut Oft. The Santa Fe's work on the Ottawa Emporia cut off presents many inter esting features, not the least of which is the reduction of grades and curves. Out near Wellsville the old track turns like a grape vine with numerous grades, some of them T-tty steep. In the re modeled track the old one wound around a hill a cut has been made 40 feet deep, on a tangent. Practically the track has been doubled at that point the old track will be used by west bound trains, while east bound' trarric will go through the cut over the new iron. FIREMEN'S BALL. Emporia Railroaders Danced at the Wigwam Wednesday. Emporia, Jan. 23. Whenever the railroad boys give a ball there is ahvavs a fore sight about the preparations that makes the event most complete. The B. of L. i, Cottonwood lodge No. llti. were the enter tainers at the wigwam Wednesday nigutr The dnnee iiroerramme was as orettv and ocstly as any ever used in this town and? the originality of the way in which the dances were signed up was enough to keep those interested who didn't know a waltz from a rag time. It began with instruc tions to "mark up for eight hours." The first dance was "to our new superinten dent." Then followed 27 more that in cluded everyone from "our guests" to "our absent brothers." The hall was suitably decorated with various colored tissue paper ropes and bunting. t. M. Carter was chief of the floor committee. The lodge committee was A. Buck, O. L. Ioty, D. H. Hamilton, C. E. Hahel, E. A. llahn, L. W. Burns and W. N. Breen. EMPORIA IS EXCITED. Committee Calls Upon General Man ager H. T7. Mudge. The grievance committee from Emporia has called upon H. U. Mudge. general manager of the Santa Fe. and told him its troubles. This particular grievance com mittee is not composed of railroad men, but of the terrified citizens of Bmporia who have come to believe all that is print ed in the Emporia papers about the wick edness or tne banta r e onicuus. The Emporia committee wanted to know if the Santa Ee was planning to send all Its trainmen to Newton, the fake which was printed several days ago at Emporia, and denied through the State Journal by General Superintendent Resseguie. General Manager Mudge told the com mittee that the Santa Ee would take care of Emporia s interests: that the story about the move of trainmen is not true, and that Emporia is not to be transformed into a whistling post. The Bmporian3 went home happy and contented. WIRES OVERBURDENED. Santa Fe Trying to Find Some Help For Telegraphers. It is reported that G. H". Gaunt has been employed by the Santa Ee road to investi gate the feasibility of applying telephones of his invention to the telegraph wires of the Santa Fe system. Mr. Gaunt is a Northern Pacific man and an expert in electricai business. A Chicago paper says, in speaking of the condition "The Santa Ee finds its wires badly con gested owing to greatly increased traffic, and the officials are confronted with the proposition of building over 2.000 miles of telegraph line or making the present wtres do added service. Upon certain divisions of the Northern Pacific Mr. Gaunt has in suc cessful operation a device of his own, by which the telegraph wires can be used for Starts With a Cold. Catarrh is a lingering: cold which refuses to yield to or dinary meat. Catarrh usually starts with a cold in the head and if left unchecked In this climate rarely gets well of itself. As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, getting deeper and deeper, creep ing along the mucous membranes from nose to throat, from throat to windpipe. from windpipe to bronchial tubes and from nronciai tubes to lunz ceils. The mucous membranes all connect, one with another. Hence it is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This is why catarrh in the head soon affects the throat and final ly the stomach itself. brinrine on chronic catarrh of the stomach, which is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia Bverybody is now well agreed that ca tarrh is a blood disease and not a local one, and the attempt to cure by local ap plications simply gives temporary relief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the pro gress of the disease. There is a new preparation recently of fered to the public that is apparently des tined to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment. Tins new remedy is not a secret patent medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot, Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree and other val uable and harmless specifics, which are taken internally and seem to have a re markably beneficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes, apparently elim inating the catarrhal poison from the whole system. These tablets, while being pleasant, con venient and absolutely safe to use, have made cures in long standing cases of ca tarrh that are little short of marvelous. They are sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers, lotions, ointments, salves, etc., and realized their inconvenience and uselessness will fullv appreciate the difference between a mere panative ana a permanent cure arter giv ing Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an impartial trial. All druggists sell them at 50e for full sized package, and no matter where the catarrh is located, in the head, throat. lungs or stomach. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets win surprise you witn mo enecuve result of eves a few days' use. treat- jj telephone purposes and the telephone thus used in train operation. "Both Mr. Gaunt and Third Vice Presi dent Kendrick of the Santa Ee are firm believers In the use of the telephone in train operation." Has Made $92,757,000. The stockholders of 'the Illinois Cen tral always receive dividends. In no fiscal year since 1863 has the road fail ed in this regard, and in that year divi dends amounting to $973,555 were pall. In 1S64, when the civil war was 'at its height, dividend disbursement increased to $1,066,330, and since then they have never been less than $1,000,000. An an alysis of its statements from year to year shows that.including the last semi annual dividend, the aggregate of cash distributed to stockholders amounts to $92,757,000, an average disbursement of more than $2,000,000 a year. In no year since 1890 has the company paid less than'- 5 per cent in regular dividends, and the average during this time has been 5.2 per cent. New Manager For the Eaty. Edward M. Collins has been appoint ed general superintendent of the Mis souri Kansas Texas railroad, with headquarters in St. Louis, succeeding M. Sweeney, who resigned to go to the Minneapolis and St. Louis. This an nouneement will be received with em inent satisfaction in railroad circles, for Mr. Collins is widely known and very highly esteemed. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.

Read what this man says Mr. D. T. Taylor, of 432 East Eighteenth street, veteran member of company H, Thirty-third Indiana volunteers, says: "I had attacks of kidney trouble ever since the civil war. The pains across the small of my back at times were so severe that I could scarcely walk, could not sit still, or rest at night, but rolled and tossed for hours with the awful grinding pain in my back. I doctored a great deal, and took nearly every remedy I ever heard of, but without being permanently re lieved. I had been off work for some time when I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills, and proonred a box at Rowley Snow's drug store. A few doses relieved me, and by the time I had taken half the box my backache had 'disappeared. Doan's Kidney Pills are the only remedy which ever helped me." Daan's Kidney Pills are for tainment and dance at its hall this even ing. David Overmyer will speak. Friday eveniner at the Railroad Y. M. C A. will be given a recitatory and musical Srogramme under the direction of Mrs. ohn Griley. From the standing which Mrs. Griley has in Topeka musical cir cles the event should be one of the best which the railroad men are to hear. Peter Schneider, who lost the ends of two fingers Wednesday, was helping build the first big furnace at the new black smith shop when the members were caught between two heavy castings. He was formerly night watchman and has been with the company a good while. Edward Thomas of the cabinet shop called together the members of the Nullu Secundus Mandolin club at the residence of his mother, 835 Monroe street, Tuesday evening.

Ralph Matties, the Missouri Pacific brakeman who became strangely incapac itated for work while he was witn his train at Garnett Tuesday, has been taken to his home in Fort Scott, where his con dition is said to remain unchanged from what it was when he was brought 111 here. Conductor Hatfield is in the hospital at this place with an arm that has been troubling him for several days. Some time ago he scratched the first finger on his left hand, and later what appears to be blood poisoning set in so badly that he has been obliged to abandon work tem porarily.

He camo to Toneka from Virginia and entered the car department, where he was a repairer and coach cleaner under George Elliott nearly all the time. Switchman Con Norton was again in charge of the engine doing work around the new machine shop Wednesday. The first truss was fastened together and has been raised.

Hartig, who was killed by the lim ited Wednesday morning a short distance east of Eudora station, had for 15 or 20 years had the Job of pumping water for the Santa Ee at that place until the plant was moved away from there more than a year ago. He was a native of Germany and came to Kansas in the late 50s, being one of the pioneers of that section. When the railroad built west he opposed with all the vigor of his sturdy German nature, the construction of the line, but in vain, and later he entered 'the service of the same company. He has a grown family of four sons and two daughters, his son-in-law being Mr. E. J. MoDonald, a former foreman of the Santa Fe road water service, who lived in Topeka. Trainmen on No. 3 thought Hartig had crossed the track ahead of the engine in safety until they reached Topeka when they were informed of his death. Hartig's wife died about a month ago. CUMMINS DID IT. Says He, and Not Metcalf, Shot Filipino Prisoner. Kansas City.Jan. 23. Lemuel D. Cum mins of Kansas City, Kan., was men tioned, in the senatorial investigation of the charges against General Wilder S. Metcalf in Washington yesterday as one of the two men who shot the two Filipino prisoners. It was charged that General Metcalf had killed them in cold blood. Cummins was a member of Company B, recruited in Kansas City, Kan., and at the engagement at Ca loocan, February 10, 1S99, was a cor poral. Cummins is confident he can vindicate General Metcalf and justify himself. He says neither Captain Boltwood nor any of the other men who have been making affidavits against Metcalf were present at the shooting. His version of the af fair is as follows: "Company B advanced with the regi ment up the hill in an attack upon Ca 1 000 an. From the start it was one un ceasing fusillade from the natives' guns. We were half way up the hill when Private Howard of my company fell, desperately wounded. I carried him to a place of shelter and ran on to catch up with the firing line. I caught up with several members of the regi ment, including, as I now recall, General then Major, Metcalf, Morris J. Cohen, afterwards killed; Harvey Harris and three or four other soldiers, who were members of Company I, the company recruited at Iola. "Almost in our front was the Caloo can church surrounded by a high stone wall from which came a steady shower of bullets. One hundred and fifty yards in front of this wall was an intrench ment held by thirty or thirty-five na tives. As we tried to advance one of the Filipinos started to run, but was shot before he reached the wall. Then there was a general rush from, the trench. Two were left behind. "Some of you fellows that are short of ammunition takes these fellows to the rear," ordered Mar Metcalf. "I said to Cohen: 'Come on, let's go,' and we started for the rear. "The other members of the party con tinued to advance. We had trouble getting our prisoners along, and when they were about twenty feet from where we had started, they were shot.

Captain Boltwood, who has been so persistent in making these charges, was not present, and as far as I know never made a complaint until after the promotions, when he failed to get Metcalfs place. The only ones present at the time were those I have mentioned." WAS HENDERSON MISTAKEN? Adjutant Fox Says He Was on Sick Bed at Date of Shooting, Adjutant General S. M. Fox stated last night that there must be some mis take in the affidavit sworn to by O. F. Henderson of Westphalia, who swore that he saw General W. S. Metcalf shoot "a wounded and helpless Filipino." The reason why there must be some mistake lies in the fact that the regimental rolls of the Twentieth Kansas show that Henderson was sick in the hospital on the date he specifies.
