LAST EBITM TUESDAY EVENIXG. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY 28, 1902.. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. NOW PUTIT BACK Government Calls Down the At torney For Indians. Senator Burton and DaveMul Tane Are the Tictims. SO AUTHORITY TO ACT. Maj Have to Return Jloney Col lected as Salaries. Senator Burton's Brother Has Been Acting as Attorney. According to a story from Washing ton ow of the principal grafts of Kan Fas politicians is about to be cut off by the federal government. It is the employment of attorneys by the Indian '.ribes without the consent of the secre tary of the interior. A Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat names Senator Burton, his brother, Z. T. Burton, and D. W. Mulvane, as specially Interested in the matter. Senator Burton was at torney for the Chickasaws prior to his election as senator, after which he turn ed the job over to his brother. Mr. Mul vane is attorney for the Choctaws. It is claimed that Secretary Hitchcock re fused to allow the tribes to employ at torneys, but that the tribe otticials did so anyway and have been paying them a salary of $5,000 a year. The Washing ton otticials have just uiscovered it and are proposing to make trouble and may bring suits to recover the money thus laid out The Globe-Democrat dispatch says: "Through an attempt on the part of Gov. Johnson and other officials of the Chickasaw nation in Indian Territory, to employ attorneys to represent the interests of the tribe, without the con sent or approval of the secretary of the interior and the president, as required by law, the department has discovered that many thousand dollars of the money belonging to the Chickasaw peo- pie has been illegally expended. A de partmental investigation will follow, and unless satisfactory explanations ran be made it is probable that suits will be instituted to recover the amount paid out by the nation, without author ity of law, in attorney fees, and con trary to the decisions of the depart ment. "In 1S0S J. R. Burton, of Kansas, now the junior senator from that state, en tered into a contract with the officials of the Chickasaw nation to become the attorney of the tribe at Washington. It was provided in the contract that Mr. Burton was to receive a salary of $5,000 per annum. The Chickasaw council passed an act appropriating the money to pay Mr. Burton. Before the act be came valid, however, it had to be ap proved by the president. When it reach ed the department Secretary Hitchcock promptly recommended its disapproval and his recommendation was sustained by President McKinley, who vetoed the appropriation. "Secretary Hitchcock announced at that time that it was contrary to policy of the government to permit the employment of attorneys by Indian tribes, except in extraordinary cases. The appropriation for Mr. Burton was for the purpose of maintaining an at torney at Washington to look after the interests of the tribe, and the secretary, therefore, could not, consistently make an exception in the case of the Chick asaw Indians. It was asserted by Mr. Burton and his friends, that Senator Lueien Baker, of Kansas, who was at that time in the senate, had induced the president to veto the appropriation be cause of his dislike for Mr. Burton, who was then looming up as a senatorial candidate aaainst him. "It was supposed by the department that the disapproval of the council act by the president had put an end to the question of representation, though Mr. Burton frequently appeared at the de partment for the Chickasaw nation in matters pending before the secretary. It was not until the other day. how ever, that the department learned that Mr. Burton had been receiving an an nual salary of $5,000 per annum from the Chickasaw government, notwith standing the action of the department and the president. It came to light in connection with the question of the em ployment of Senator Burtons brother by the Chickasaw tribe. It so hap pened that just before Senator Burton took his seat in the senate he trans ferred his contract as attorney for the Chickasaw Indians to his brother, who was immediately placed upon the pay roll of the Chickasaw nation. A con tract was duly drawn up and signed between Senator Burton's brother and the Chickasaw officials, and he pro ceeded to represent the tribe. "Several days ago the department commenced an investigation and dis covered that Senator Burton's brother was acting as attorney for the Chicka saw nation. In reply to the question as to what authority the Chickasaw na tion had to employ counsel without the consent of the department, itiawas as serted that under the treaty with the United States providing for the allot ment of the lands of the Chickasaw tribe they had a right to make their own appropriations for legislative pur poses, and that the money for the pay ment of the attorney came fro.n these appropriations. "It is stated at the department that none of the five civilized tribes had any authority to appropriate a single dollar for attorney's fees, without the appro val of the president, and that if the Chickasaw nation had been guilty of appropriating money for the pavment of attorney's fees it was an Illegal ex penditure. and that the government can compel the governor of the Chiekasaw nation, who paid the money out, to re fund the amount thus expended. "A similar claim has been set up by Mr. David Mulvane, of Kansas, who has a contract with the Choctaw na tion, and who. it is asserted, is draw ing a salary from that nation, although the department has refused to approve either Air. Mulvane's contract or the appropriation made by the Choctaw council for that purpose. An investi gation will follow and the governors of the two tribes -will be compelled to make a full explanation. "The department will also take steps to prevent a recurrence of the expendi ture of moneys of the people of the tvL? wtI2bes ,wltho"t authority of law which has already taken place "An effort is being made bv the offi cials of the interior department to se cure the allotment in severalty of the lands of the Kaw Indians located in southern Kansas. Mr. A. O. Miteher agent for the Osages and Kaws. is now' In the city, having come here in re sponse to Instructions from the depart ment, for the purpose of arranging plans for the preparation of a treaty with the Kaw Indians, providing for the allotment of their lands." CAN'T TAKE THE GUN. President Mast First Get Sanc tion of Congress. Washington. Jan. 2S. In the present opin ion of the officials here. President Roose velt can not accept any present from either Emperor William or Prince Henry without authority from congress. An ex amination of the precedents is said to dis close the fact, while in many instances presidents apparently received presents from abroad, they never have retained these except by express authority con ferred by congress. In the other cases where the gifts have not been returned to the donor the presents have been deposited iv the president in the department of state or in th Smithsonian institution. A large number of medals and articles of value may be seen in the library of tht si;te department, the gifts of foreign rulers. KIMBERLEY DEAD. Retired Rear Admiral Expires at West Newton, Mass. Washington. Jan. 28. Secretary Long has received a telegram announcing that Rear Admiral Lewis A. Kimberly, U. S. N., retired, died at West Newton, Mass., this morning. Admiral Kimberly H1MBERLV was selected for service on the Schley court of inquiry but was compelled to decline on account of ill health. Hfflrt trouble is stated as the cause of his death. Admiral Kimberly had a long and distinguished service in the United States navy. He was born in N'ew York,, and appointed from Illinois, entering the haval service in 1S46. Lewis Ashfield Kimberly was born 111 Troy, N. Y., April 2, 1S30. He was ap pointed to the navy as acting midship man from Illinois in 1846, and gradu ated fron the United States naval academy six years later. He was mas ter and lieutenant in 1856. commander in 1866, captain in 1874, commodore in 1884. and rear admiral in 1S87. Admiral Kimberly served on the frigate Potomac in 1861-'62; then ex ecutive officer on the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's flagship, participating in actions of Port Hudson, Grand Gulf, Warrington, Mobile Bay, etc. He was in the expedition to Korea, and com manded the force which landed and captured the forts. Admiral .Kimberly was commended by the secretary of the navy for his conduct of affairs while commander-in-chief of the Pacific sta tion. He was at Apia, Samoa, at the time of the great hurricane of March 15 and 16, 1889. FUNSTON IN KANSAS. The General Reaches Kansas City en Route to lola. Kansas City, Jan. 28. Gen. Frederick Funston arrived here today from San Francisco. After a consultation with his physician he -will continue on to lola, Kan., the home of his parents for a brief visit. He appeared in good health. Gen. Funston made the trip to Kan sas City alone and arrived unannounced. He soon sought out his physician and submitted to an examination of th? wound from which he has experienced trouble lately. Whether or not another operation would be necessary the physi cian was not ready to state, saying that it might be two or three days before that question could be determined. In the meantime Gen. Funston said he would remain in Kansas City resting quietly." He expressed himself as feel ing perfectly well. He said that after undergoing treatment here and visiting his parents, he would return west in time to take a transport for Manila ear ly in February. His leave of absence expires March 10. SCHLEY STARTS SOUTH. Next Stop Will Be Made Louisrille, Ky. at Chicago, Jan. 28. Admiral Schley left Chicago today after a three days' visit. As his private car rolled out of the Dearborn station on the Monon road for Louisville the cheers of several hundred citizens echoed through the big train shed. For twenty minutes before the train started the admiral held a handshaking levee on the rear platform of the car. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 28. Elaborate preparations have been made by the Louisville Knights Templar and board or trade for the reception and enter tainment of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Schley, who will reach this city to night. A committee representing the Knights j empiar and Louisville board of trade, accompanied by the local military or ganization and a band will meet the admiral's train at Salem. 111., and will accompany the party to this city. When Admiral Schley reaches the union station a salute of 15 guns will be fired, and from the depot Admiral Schley and Airs. Schley will be escorted in state to the residence of Marion E. Taylor, pres ident of the board of trade, at whose house they will remain during their stay here. A THOUSAND MEN. s They Will Make Up Next Repub lican Conrention. Basis of Representation Will Be Fixed Tomorrow. FIC1TT FOR LOCATION. Wichita and Fort Scott Will Contest With Topeka. Albaugh Can Not Be Defeated For Chairman. The Republican state central com mittee will meet tomorrow morning at the Copeland to fix the time, place and basis of representation for the coming state convention, which will, quite likely, name the next state officers of Kansas, unless the Republicans quarrel so much among themselves that they will make victory possible for the op position. It Is very probable that the conven tion will be held in Topeka, although Fort Scott and Wichita are making a strong bid for it. Those towns are sending letters to each member of the committee, soliciting the individual vote of each one in favor of their par ticular town and promising anything that may be necessary to secure the convention. There is very little danger, however, that It will be taken away from Topeka, since Topeka has built a magnificent auditorium just for con vention purposes. The time will probably be some time In June, during the first half of the month, although this is by no means certain. The basis of representation will prob ably be orie delegate at large for each county and one for each 200 votes cast for McKinley in 1900. Every county is allowed, two delegates, no matter how small its vote.- On this basis the con vention would have 1,036 delegates, v.-hich T. T. Kelly, secretary of the committee, figures would be ulvided among the various counties as follows: Vote for Dele Counties.

J. B. Case, of Abilene, who is given the credit being one of Bur ton's managers, m mentioned for the place. Some time ago the boss busters had their tomahawks out to take the scalp of Morton Albaugh, the present chairman, because he belongs to the Leland crowd and Is a warm personal friend of Mr. Leland, but little has been heard of this movement of late. 'I prophesy that if Albaugh wants to be chairman again it will be mighty hard for anybody to beat him," said Secretary Tom Kelly today. "In the last campaign Albaugh put in 16 hours a day working' as chairman. He did more than any other man who has ever held the place. He is a tireless worker. More than that, he knows the local sit- PASSESSENATE Bill Establishing a New Cabinet Office To Be Called Department of Commerce and Labor. BODY IS IN NO HURRY To Pass the Philippine Tariff Measure. Disposition to Carefully Exam ine the Subject. 1 Washington, Jan. 28. A resolution in troduced yesterday by Mr.Lodge (Mass.) authorizing the committee on Philip pines to make an investigation of the Philippines question and for that pur pose to sit during the sessions of the senate was reported favorably and adopted by the senate soon after it con vened today. Mr. Bacon (Pa.) offered a resolution providing that the committee on print ing consider the expediency of printing a special -edition of the congressional record for sale to the general public at ?2 for the long sessions and tl for the short sessions. He said some action ought to be taken by congress to in sure to the general public more com plete information as to the doings in congress. Under the present system, he said, it was impossible for the public to be kept informed upon the work of congress. It was no reflection, he said, upon the newspapers of the country, to say they did not publish full reports of congressional proceedings. No newspa per could afford to present to its readers more than a grief synopsis of the pro ceedings in the two branches of con gress. Mr. Hawley remarked that his news paper experience extended back be tween 40 and 50 years. When he was younger the newspapers of the country devoted considerable attention to the proceedings of congress and in a meas ure at least, he thought they might re turn, with interest, to their old practice. The resolution was adopted. Consideration of the bill to establish a department of commerce then was resumed, the pending amendment being that of Mr. Pettus providing that the department of labor should not be made a part of the proposed new de partment. After a brief discussion the amend ment was rejected, 19 to 33. Mr. Bacon then offered an amend ment providing that the name of the new department should be the depart ment of commerce and labor. Mf. Nelson in charge of the bill agreed to the amendment and it was adopted. Mr. Hale withdrew his amendment offered a few days ago transferring the interstate commerce commission to the new department. He had been con vinced, he said, since offering the amendment that such a transfer would destroy the functions of the commis sion. No other amendments being offered, the bill was reported from the commit tee of the whole to the senate. Mr. Quarles demanded a separate vote on the amendment by which the census bureau was stricken from the bill as a part of the new department. By a vote of 5 to 52, the census bureau "was retained in the measure as one of the bureaus of the new department. The bill then was passed. When the Philippine tariff bill was taken up, Mr. Baoon (Ga.) offered a joint resolution containing that por tion of -the bill relative to shipping in the Philippines. He wanted it passed immediately, saying that it was the really urgent portion of the bill; the minority would make no objection to the resolution, and it could iass the house and become a law at once. Mr. Lodge stated that the measure under' consideration was a house bill, and contained many other important features, and he saw no reasott why it should be passed piecemeal. Mr. Bacon insisted that senators should have opportunity to examine the reports of the Taft commission, which were very voluminous and he thought it would be well to pass the resolution, which wa3 offered in good faith, and thus give senators an oppor tunity to prepare to discuss the other features of the bill. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 28. Forecast for Kan sas: Snow or possibly rain tonight and Wednesday; warmer tonight and in east portion Wednesday; increasing easterly winds. uations in every county in the state far better than any other man in the par ty." Mr. Kelly's job as secretary will be vacant after the state convention. Mr. Kelly is a candidate for state treasurer and thus far the place is conceded to him. If he is on the ticket it will ne cessitate his giving up his work as sec retary of the committee. It will proba bly be sought after because it leads to better things at least it has done so in the past. Joe Bristow went from the secretaryship to his job as fourth assist ant postmaster general. Frank Brown succeeded him as secretary, and was appointed clerk of the U. S. district court, a position good for many years. Tom Kelly came next, and he will pro bably step into the state treasurer's of fice. The state committee is composed of the following: Morton Albaugh, Kingman, chair man. D. R. Anthony, Jr., Leavenworth. Thomas Beattie, Atchison. W. R. Fisher, Holton. D. W. Mulvane, Topeka. A. L. Cox, Lawrence. W. A. White, Emporia. F. C. Raney, Fort Scott. Geo. H. Lamb, Yates Center. A.

New Rule About the Republican State Campaign. From This Time Candidates Are Out For Honors. SWARM IN HOTELS. Friends of Aspirants Are Talk ing With Might and Main. The "Handshaker and Mixer" is at Home. As a rule the Republican state com paign begins with the holding of the state convention. This year that rule is not in force. The active campaign practically began today. It is conceded by the majority of peo ple that the Republicans will have little trouble in carrying next fall's election in Kansas. This means that a nomina tion on the Republican state ticket is equivalent to an election. The big fight therefore will be for the places on the Republican ticket. Of course there is always danger that some unforeseen event might turn the tide of popular fa var against the Republicans, but such a contingency is very remote this year. The candidates and their friends be gan to come in yesterday. Last night they were swarming in the corridors of the Copeland. Beginning with this morning the trains brought in additions in crowds. Nothing like it was ever before seen in Kansas except at a state convention. The politicians generally realize that the real contest will be fairly opened with the meeting of the Kansas Day club. This is the time that slates will be fixed and deals made to carry them through. Consequently the majority of them are on the ground early to watch the other fellow and to checkmate his moves. The "mixer" is in his element. He is around shaking hands with everybody whether he knows him or not. The fel low whom he knows he slaps familiar ly on the back and calls him "Bill," or "Harry," or "Jim," or something else. Then he takes one of the crowd off to one corner and whispers to him myster iously. He may only be asking how the crops are down in Podunk.but he knows that the fellows who are new at the business will look on with envy, think ing some. mighty scheme is in evolution, and they will look upon nim as a "leader." The contest from now until the meet ing of the state convention will be a great race. From now until Thursday morning there will be all kinds of jock eying and false starts. Most of the can didates want the inside track. Each one would also like to get a flying start, and the friends of the others are watch ing to see that he doesn't get it. There are now 31 active candidates in the race for the various prizes. There will be others before the starters give the word to "go." Some of those who are jock eying for a place may get disgusted an I quit. There will probably be still more who will start later in the race, atter those who are now in get well under way, but if they have the right kind or speed they may be able to catch the bunch. It will be a great race to say the least. Here is a list of the entries so far: Associate justice, five places to fill For re-election: Justice Greene of Har vey county; Cunningham of Lyon; Pol lock of Cowley; Ellis of Mitchell. To succeed Judge Doster: Welch of Shaw nee; Mason of Finney. Governor Richter of Morris; Miller of Osage; Cole of Crawford; Enright of Wyandotte; Troutman of Shawnee; Bailey of Nemaha. Secretary of State Burrow of Smith. State Auditor- Wells of Neosho; Wil son of Republic; Culp of Saline; Kel sey of Atchison. Attorney General Coleman of Clay; West of Wyandotte; Bone of Clark; Me Colloch of Harper. State Treasurer Kelly of Miami. Superintendent ,of Public Instruction Dayhoff of Reno; Ross of Jefferson; Nelson of MePherson. Lieutenant Governor Hanna of Gra ham; Cormany of Bourbon; Glenn of Greeley. Superintendent of Insurance Osborn of Saline; Luling of Sedgwick. Congressman-at-large Scott of Allen. Here are a few of those who may yet get into the race but have not yet made their entries: Governor Smith of MePherson; Sea ton of Atchison. Secretary of State Harris of Lyon. Attorney General Blue o Cherokee. Superintendent of Public Instruction Fairchild of Ellsworth; Kendrick of Harvey. Lieutenant GovernorKimball of Sa line; Caldwell of Cloud. Superintendent of Insurance Ingalls of Atchison. Then there are the side races the congressional contests. Some of these will be very, very tame; others will be more spirited than even the contests for the state offices, particularly in the Third, Fourth and Sixth districts. Here are the entries up to date: First district Curtis of Shawnee. Second district Bo wersock of Douglas. Third district Wheatley and Skid more of Cherokee; Fitzpa trick and Sproul of Chautauqua; Ergenbright and Wilson of Montgomery; Campbell' of Crawford, and possibly others. Fourth district Kennedy of Coffey; Miller of Morris; Murdock of Butler. Fifth district Calderhead of Mar shall. Sixth district Reeder of Phillips; Wellington of Ellsworth; White of Jewell. Seventh district Long of Barber. WHAT OF FAIRCHILD P Friends Would Like to Enow What He Will Do. The friends of Prof. E. T. Fairchild, principal of the Ellsworth schools, are grooming him as a candidate for super intendent of public instruction, but he has as yet made no declaration. His friends urge that the north part of the Sixth district is "hogging" things. It has Judge Ellis of Mitchell and J. S. Burrow of Smith, who is a candidate for secretary of state, and to whom nominations are practically conceded at this time. The northern tier of counties also has Congressman Reeder of Phil lips, who has even chances for a re nomination, and Hays B. White of Jewell, who is also in the congressional race. If W. Wellington should be able to defeat Reeder it would probably satisfy the claims of the south part of the district and shut Fairchild out. Fairchild and Wellington are both from the same town. Fairchild already has a state ap pointment. He is a regent of the State Agricultural college, and is one of the best known educators in the state. CONGRESSMAN LONG HERE. Welcomed With Cordiality by Sev enth District Statesmen. Congressman Chester, I. Long arrived from Washington at noon today, to be present at the Kansas Day banquet. He was greeted with enthusiasm by all the Seventh district men who saw him at the Copeland, and for a time they hardly gave him time to get his bear ings.. W. Y. Morgan, one of Mr. Long's warmest friends, met him at Kansas City last night. It is quite probable that Mr. Long's friends will get together and give his senatorial candidacy a boost while he is here. He has rooms at the CopeT land. Anion.? the other candidates who are moving among the politicians at the Copeland are H. B. Miller of Osage, 11. E. Richter of Morris, James A. Trout man of Shawnee, and George E. Cole of Crawford, all candidates for governor; George W. Wheatley of Cherokee, W. S. Fitzpatrick and W. H. Sproul of Chau tauqua, candidates for congress in the Third district; Ed Hoch of Marion and George A. Clark of Junction City, can-, didates ior state printer; W. A. Cor many of Fort Scott and W. M. Glenn of Greeley, candidates for lieutenant governor. Congressman Curtis will not be here. A telegram from Washington an nounces that he will be kept there on important congressional business. This will be a great disappointment to his j friends, who expected to give Curtis senatorial boom a big send-off. WELLINGTON IS HERE. Wanted Bunch of Banquet Tickets, But Couldn't Get Them. E. W. Wellington of Ellsworth, who is giving Congressman Reeder a hard race in the Sixth district, was early on the ground. He reached Topeka Monday af ternoon and has been "circulating" most of the time since. One of the first things Mr. Wellington did was to go to Secretary Valentine and try to buy more tickets for the Kansas day banquet. He has a lot of friends com ing down from the Sixth district who are not provided with tickets and he wanted to help them. But Secretary Valentine was obliged to gently but lirmly refuse. Wellington wanted a whole bunch of tick ets, but they were not to be had. Mr. Wellington is not the only one who has had that experience, however. Dozens of other prominent Republicans from all over the state have gone through the same experience. Many of them have not even tickets for themselves. There may be as many politicians on the outside of the banquet as on the inside, and they will probably do more active work than those who have tickets to the banquet, for they will be able to speifd the time in caucus ing. There will probably be candidates for state offices who will not go into the ban quet, but will stay outside and labor with those outside the caucuses. Mr. Wellington is not talking much about the Sixth district situation at pres ent. He simply says that he is satisfied with the situation and believes he has the best of it. KELLY MAY HAVE OPPOSITION. Rumored That McCarthy Hay Be in Treasurer Fight. It is possible that Ton Kelly, the present assistant state treasurer, to whom a nomination for state treasurer has been conceded up to this time, may have some opposition after all. (There is talk this afternoon that C. C. Mc Carthy, of Nortonvflle, may enter the race against him. McCarthy has been a candidate be fore. He wanted the office four years ago, but the Seventh district combina tion was too strong for him, and Frank Grimes was nominated. McCarthy's candidacy is somewhat contingent upon Superintendent Ross, also of Jefferson county, who is a can didate for state superintendent. There is a rumor that Ross may withdraw and run again for county superintend ent. If he should do so it would give McCarthy a better chance to run. as 1 I Jefferson county could not ask for two candidates. "Chan" Perdue Here. One of the leaders among the Sixth dis trict politicians already here Is W. C. Per due oBeloit. generally known as "Chan." Mr. Perdue is postmaster at Beloit and is one of the best known men in northwest ern Kansas. If it had not been that Mitch ell county already had a candidate for a state office in the person of Justice Ellis of the supreme court, the friends of Chan Perdue would probably have brought him out for a place on the Republican state ticket. Mr. Perdue is an enthusiastic Reeder rooter and believes the present Sixth district congressman will be renom inated. BIG SNOW C0MIN& Weather Forecaster Says We Will Have Storm Tonight. The government -weather bureau in Topeka received a dispatch tonight an nouncing that Topeka will undoubtedly receive a very heavy snow fall tonight. The forecast sent out for Kansas' is: "Snow or possibly rain tonight and Wednesday. Warmer tonight and east portion Wednesday." Observer Jen nings said this morning, "The forecast means that there will be a precipitation. If the weather becomes warm enough it will be in the form of rain.

Stanley, was chosen to make the address at the William McKinley memorial exercises held at the United Presbyterian church, on Sunday, Lincoln Post No. 1 of the Grand Army of the Republic voted to not hold services and it was only by the efforts of a few old soldiers work ing outside of the post circles that the memorial was held. To all appearances the exercises were conducted in a harmonious manner and with a spirit of patriotism but the story of how political intrigue and discord among members of the post nearly caused the meeting to be abandoned and a notice sent to Governor Stanley that his services as speaker would not be required, has just leaked out. Arrangements were made by Lincoln Post to hold the memorial exercises and at the same time, in pursuance with the suggestion issued by Governor Stanley naming January 26 as the day, to take up a collection for the MtiKin ley memorial. There was the usual harmony among the members of the post. The veterans wished to honohe memory of Major McKinley. A committee composed of W. W. Den ison, quartermaster general of the Kan sas G. A. R., Chaplain J. B. Sidwell of the post, J. E. Stewart, Rev. M. F. Mc Kirahan and John Sanderson, all mem bers of Lincoln post, was named to have full charge of the memorial exee cises and to make all arrangements. It was intended to hold the exercises in some large hall. From the general committee Mr. Den lson and Rev. Mr. McKirahan were se lected to make the arrangements for the speaker of the day. The commit tee invited General J. K. Hudson to make the address. It was understood that he would be the speaker but a week before the exercises were to be held General Hudson notified the committee that as he would not be in Topeka on the day of the memorial that he would have to decline. The committee then started in search of another speaker. The committee decided to invite As Bociate Justice E. W. Cunningham, of the supreme court who is an old soldier, to make the address. The committee visited the state house and found that Judge Cunningham was not in the city. Whom to select was the question. Gov ernor Stanley was suggested but the committee understood that he was not in Topeka. As the committeemen were at the state house they decided to visit the executive office, nevertheless. The committee found that the governor had just returned. The committee invited Governor Stanley to" make the address, thinking that as he issued the call for the day to be observed throughout the state in memory of the martyred president that the selection would be appropriate. Governor Stanley consented and the ar rangements were made. At the next meeting of Lincoln Post the comrrtittee reported that Governor Stanley had been chosen as the speaker and had accepted. The report started a lively row in the post. Captain P. H. Coney, A. K. Rodgers, the political manager of Congressman Charles Curtis, and Captain C. II. Titus led the fight on Stanley. Major T. J. Anderson was also there and he was not idle. Mr. Rodgers moved that the report of the committee be laid on the table. That precipitated the trouble. The rumor was that as Mr. Rodgers is Con gressman Curtis' political manager and that as the congressman and the- gov ernor both have aspirations for the seat to be vacated in the senate at Wash ington by Senator Harris, that he was not friendly to Governor Stanley for political reasons and did not wish the state executive to receive any such honor. Capt. Titus was as bitter against the se lection of Gov. Stanley as was Mr. Rod gers. Rumor had it that the captain was prejudiced because he formed the McKin lev Republican club of J.ooO members in the last campaign and wished t be com missioner of elections in Topeka. and thought he would get it. The old soldiers, or many of them, thought also that he would get it and made no great fight for him. and Sherman Williams was appointed bv Gov. Stanley. Capt. Coney made up the fighting trio. He opposed Gov. Stanley on the ground that he is not an old soldier and that he has not been friendly to the members of the G. A. R. Coney is an active worker in the "Boss Busters' union" and the un ion is not at all friendly to the governor. W. W. Dennison and M. F. McKirahan. who invited the governor, led the fight for him. Mr. Dennison said that the governor had attended four G. A. R. reunions where he was and that he found him friendly to ward the old soldiers and quite populac with them. The vote on the motion to lay the report on the table was taken and the motion was carried by a majority of two votes. The opposition to Gov. Stanley had won by a. bare majority. The supporters of Ktanley made a strong fight to defeat the motion with the arguments that such a proceed ing would place Lincoln post in bad odor with the governor and the public. By the vote, however, it was decided that Lincoln post would not stand sponsor to the me morial exercises with Gov. Stanley as the speaker. Then Rev. Mr. McKirahan and Mr. Den nison, who were responsible for the invita tion being extended to the governor, de cided to hold the memorial exercises in spite of the action of Lincoln post. Rev. Mr. McKirAhan made arrangements to have the exercises held in his church, at the corner of Kighth and Topeka avenues, under the auspices of the old soldiers and not of the post-. There were plenty of veterans willing to lend their aid and the services were held but Lincoln post had nothing to do with them. Now Mr. Dennison says he intends to report the entire matter to Gov. Stanley that he may know who opposed him- in the xost. W. A. WHITE IMPROVES. Emporia Editor's Condition Not So Bad as Reported. Colorado Springs, Col., Jan. 28.

ML S YOSTS lHaLEU CCfi CATABBH SHOOK 5,000 HANDS. Schley Fats In Another Busy Day In Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 28. The last day of Admiral Schley's sojourn in Chicago was full of interesting: incidents. Re ception followed reception, and it is estimated that during; the day the ad miral shook hands with more than 5,000 perrons men, women and children. The first item in the distinguished visitor's schedule was a visit to the rew W. s. Schley school building. The admiral entered the building; through two lines of boys holding palms over his head, while the children sang "See, the Conquering Hero Comes." After being introduced he made a snort speech, in which he said that honor and honesty are the handmaids of valor. Me said, too, tnat he was very Slad to have the school named after him. A small boy piped up: "I am &lad they named it after you," where upon there were shouts of laughter and general applause. The 900 children in attendance marched by the admiral, who shook hands with everyone of tliem. At 11 a. m. twenty-two representa tives of the German societies of Chi cago presented to the admiral resolu tions of esteem and approbation. Following luncheon with E. A. Mun ger, of the Hamilton club. Admiral and Mrs. Schley met the "members of the Maryland Society of Chicago at a re ception in the Palmer house. At 3 p. m. Admiral and Mrs. Schley were tendered a public reception at the Auditorium hotel. The lobbies and ap ptoacb.es to the second floor corridor, where the distinguished visitors stood, vere crowded. As the admiral and hia w ife ascended the stairway a chorus of fifty young ladies, attired in sailor suits, sang "Bee. the Conquering Hero Cones." In the rear of the reviewing stand a company of the first ship's crew of the Illinois naval militia was stationed as a bodyguard. Without further ceremony the people filed past, shaking the hands of both the admiral and his wife. The reception terminated at 6 o'clock, at which time Chairman Munger esti- mated that the admiral had shaken hands with 3,500 people, A feature of the reception was the welcome accorded seventeen former members of Commodore Dewey's squad ron at Manifa, who extended their con gratulations to Admiral Schley in writing. At 6 o'clock the admiral was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the offi cers of the Chicago naval battalion. The dinner, which was attended by about 75 officers and guests, was held in the blue room of the Auditorium hotel, and although less formal than the banquet of Saturday evening, it was an eloquent and thoroughly en joyable affair. From the dinner the admiral was driven directly to the armory of the First infantry on Michigan avenue, ,here the Chicago naval battalion was paraded for his inspection. The ad miral made a short speech to the men, praising their work and encouraging them to persevere in their study of naval matters. He also spoke in flat tering terms of the paft borne in the Spanish-American war by. the naval militia of Illinois. At 8 o'clock the review was over and the admiral was on his way to his hotel. Champion Runners Arrive, New York, Jan. 28.

SheWing of Sharkey Was a Part of the Plot. A BETTER ATTRACTION Yosemite Athletic Clnb Offers Big Inducements. Get $17,500 'as a Winner and $10,000 as a Loser. New York, Jan. 28. Robert Fitzsim mons, it is declared today, will be James J. Jeffries' next opponent in the prize ring unless something occurs be tween now and the middle of April to spoil carefully laid plans. From a reliable source this morning It was learned the principal reason the match between Jeffries and Sharkey had been declared off was that Fitzsimmons practically has agreed to meet the champion early In April before the Yosemite Athletic club of San Fran cisco. It has been an open secret for some time that the Yosemite Athletic club has been making great efforts to induce the lanky Cornishman to meet Jeffries in San Francisco. According to a well informed sporting man these efforts have been crowned with success. The Yosemite cluB, it is said, has made Fitz a most tempting offer. The story goes that the landlord of Bath Beach has been guaranteed $7,500, be sides his training and traveling ex penses, to meet Jeffries before the Yose mite club, with the privilege of taking 35 per cent of the entire gross receipts of the fight in ease the Cornishman loses. If he should win 65 per cent will be his share of the gross receipts. Should the fight draw a 40,000 house, which it surely would, Fitzsimmons' share, in case he proved a winner, would be about 17,500. The losing end of the purse would net him something like $10,000. In view of the report that Fitzsimmons has decided to fight Jeffries, his suit for damages will probably not be re garded seriously. BTGOVERN YET WEAK. Operation on Nose Lessens Hia Chances With Sullivan. New York, Jan. 28. The McGovern Sulllvan fight will be the next fistic event of importance on the calendar. There is considerable interest mani fested in the bout on all sides, as many consider the two pretty evenly matched. There was a disposition to make Mc Govern an overwhelming favorite before it became necessary to operate on his nose, but now many doubts are ex pressed as to whether he will round to in time. Young Corbett, it is said, is also com plaining of the difficulty he experiences In breathing, and the little champion may have to undergo an operation. "My nose was in the same shape as McGovern's when we met," said Cor bett, "and' I still have the same diffi culty in breathing. It resulted, I "sup pose, from the nose becoming swelled from punching. "I did not think an operation was necessary for me .however, and I am glad I did not. after seeing McGovern. His face is still badly swollen." Another fighter who has found it necessary to have an operation per formed on his nose to ease the breath ing is "Kid" Carter. TOM COOPER A MINER. Former Cycling Champion Tells of His Colorado Experience. New York, Jan. 28. Tom Cooper, the bicycle champion of 1900, is now in terested in a coal mine near Montrose, CoL In a letter receiveu by a friend in this city the other day the ex-cycle king told of his new experience as follows: "It is quite a change from riding a bicycle to digging for dusky diamonds underneath the ground, but the climate out here in Colorado is simply superb. I am living in a log cabin twenty-six miles from a town and that town of only 1,300, with communication to it by horseback. Our mines are located conisderably above sea level and this elevation is a little bit hard on my breathing machinery, but I am feeling really better than ever before in my life. If I get the racing fever again next summer the other riders will have to look out for me. "It looks as though we had a pretty good thing out here in our coal mine, since it possesses a vein thirty-two feet thick, about 1,000 feet wide and over a mile long-, with excellent quality of soft coal, worth out here from $4.50 to $7 a ton. But it is a very lonesome place and we have to cut notches in a stick to tell when Sunday comes." WILL RETIRE WADDELL. Bradley Says Robert s Shoulder Has Been Broken Again. Memphi3, Tenn., Jan. 28.

"Terrible Terry," very subdued but determined, left his training quarters at the "call of time." taking his horse trainer, Chris Martin, who is in the heavyweight class, with him for pro tection. After much thought "Terry" decided that a scarlet sweater, garnet ivaistcoat with white polka dots, sack coat and trousers, varnished shoes and derby hat and skin gloves were about the proper thing for an afternoon call, and togged out accordingly. The Ker nochan mansion, ."The Meadows," is less, than 500 yards from "Terry's" quarters, but as he was doing things in style he decided to drive his trotting mare and rubber tire runabout. Two hours were spent on the grounds, then the party returned to the house, where tea was served, and "Terry" viewed the Kernochan tapestries, bric-a-brac, etc. At 4 o'clock "Terry," by a determined effort, made a "clean break away."

W. Coffelt Continued at W infield. Attorneys Wanted to Attend Kansas Day Banquet. Kansas City, Kas., Jan. 28. A disrup tion ia threatened in the high school, and yesterday morning the situation was so serious that four boys who had been suspended the week before for alleged misconduct were reinstated, without investigation. Their reinstate ment was demanded by about fifty students, most of whom were members of the senior class. The students, it is reported, threatened to "quit school un less the charges against their com panions were withdrawn. George E. Rose, principal of the high school, and L. E. Wolfe, superintendent of the city schools, deny any knowledge of the disturbance, although the story is substantiated by members of the senior class. The suspended pupils were Burt Varney, Oscar Huber, Averill Daily and Ross Hopkins, all members of the senior class. The trouble originated last Thursday morn ing, when the new freshman class, which was recently graduated from the ward schools, was taken into the high school auditorium and prepared for en rollment. During this proceeding the seniors were shut out. Time grew te dious and the seniors decided to enjoy their freedom to the fullest extent. Having been shut out of the study hall, they gained an entrance to the base ment by sliding through a cellar win dow. There were about thirty of them, and once on the inside they commenced to give the yell of the Kansas City, Kas., high school. Prof. Julius E. Kammeyer went to the basement and routed the noisy stu dents. As the boys filed Out of the building one of them yelled: "What's the matterwith Kammeyer?" "He's all right," yelled the chorus of students. "What's the matter with Rose?" ask ed several, in a high tone of voice. Rose is unpopular with the seniors and this query met with a storm of hisses. Superintendent Wolfe heard the yelling and reported the matter to Pro fessor Rose who was on the second floor of the high school building. Rose remonstrated with the students. He was very angry. Last Friday Professor Rose suspend ed Varney, Huber, Daily and Hopkins. He told Varney that he understood that be was "the leader of the rowdies," and told him to go home. The seniors were in the study hall at the time and when news of the sus pension reached them they started-an-other clamor.- There were more hisses for Rose and cheers for Varney. Var ney started home, after his temporary suspension, but on the steps of the high school he met Edith Sirley and told her about his troubles. Rose came to the door and exclaimed: "Burt, I thought I told you to go home?" Varney didn't seem inclined to heed the professor and he was ordered in side. "Go to my office," said Rose. Varney did as instructed, the profes sor following him, and closing the door. The students heard of Varney's impris onment and no fewer than fifty of them rushed for Professor Rose's office. They rapped on the door and demanded the release of their imprisoned classmate. .Varney was allowed, to leave the room, and all the seniors, With Varney at the head of the procession, marched to the study room. The high school building resounded with yells of the seniors, who gave yells for Varney and hisses for the professors. Late Friday afternoon the majority of the students waited on Professor Rose and demanded that the suspended boys be reinstated. Yesterday this de mand va:i obeyed. The seniors claim that they had a good rig -t to yell and make merry last week. Ti'.i- fay it is an armual custom at the Kansas City, Kan., high school. The freshmen from the ward schools are always eni oiled during the third week in January end for years it has been customary for the seniors to stand by and ridicule the new men. The remarks are always friendly,, although the fresh men don't always think so, but being outnumbered by the other students, they have to grin and bear the ridicule. The seniors say that Professor Rose ob jects to this display of feeling. The students are angry at Professor Rose for other reasons. For a long time they have desired to establish a class fraternity, but Professor Rose, as prin cipal of the high school, they say, has objected. AFFIDAVIT OF CUMMINS. Telegraphs Story of Filipino tilling to Washington. Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 28. Lemuel S. Cummins.the soldier of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, is seeking to have himself set aright in the records of the senate investigation of General Wilder S. Metcalf. Cummins and M. J. Cohen, since dead, were accused by one of the witnesses before the senate committee last Tuesday of having, killed two Fili pino prisoners at the battle of Caloocan, February 10, 1899. He admitted that this was true. This testimony exon erated General Metcalf, who had been charged with the killing, but it left Cummins in a bad light in the records. He thought he might be called as a witness, but was not, and Sunday it was learned that no more testimony would be taken. Cummins yesterday went before C. R. Cooksey, a notary, and prepared an affidavit setting forth the facts. The affidavit was prepared Sunday, but was not sworn to until yesterday. The affidavit, after telling of the meeting with Major Metcalf, the capture of the two prisoners and of Cummins and Cohen taken charge of them, says: "Major Metcalf then started to the front, and we started to the rear with the prisoners. After we had 'gone some distance, the prisoners refused to go, and made a dash for liberty, and at tempted to secure some arms of dead soldiers that were lying on the ground, and a battle ensued. There were two of us against two of them, and we had to fight for our lives. "In the mixup the. Filipinos were kill ed. After this Cohen and myself went to the front and joined Metcalf and the other soldiers at the old stone church which was some three hundred to five hundred yards beyond the trench where the capture was made. I never had a word of conversation with Major Met calf as to the fate of the prisoners,, and never heard the subject mentioned in his presence. Sunday night the whole affidavit of almost lour nunarea words was tele graphed to Senator Burton at Wash ington, together with a request that he try to keep the record of the invest gation open until the original, signed and sworn to by Cummins, could reach him by mail. A reply was received yes terday from Senator Burton, saying that he had been assured that the rec ord would be kept open, and that the Cummins amdavit would be incorpo rated in it. Cummins told his attorney yesterday that he had never been call ed upon to give testimony in any in vestigation as to the shooting ef these prisoners. LEADS THE WEST.

French's story has been knocked to pieces by the county attor ney and Judge McBride, to whom he confessed that he was in town at the time of the killing. These statements were afterward verified, and conse quently no tvidci.ee was left on which to convict "Shorty." Atchison Pioneer Dead. Atchison, Jan. 28. John Van Derstay, a pioneer of Kansas, "died here Monday. He was 78 years old, and death was due to old age. He was a native of Prus sia and came to Weston in 1856. He was a Union sympathizer during the war and a member of the Missouri mi litia. He was a descendant of a long line of soldiers. His grandfather was a soldier under Napoleon for 30 years, and served in all the notable campaigns of Napoleon. Poisoned by a Fin. Florence, Jan. 28. Mrs. Mary Bat tey, wife of the postmaster, D. C.

TOTBKA STATE JOTTRTT AX., TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 28,' 1902. 3 RAILROADfiEWS. Reorganization of Mechanical Department of Santa Fe is Ou. George E. Ward is Appointed Material Inspector. IT IS A NEW POSITION. Collinson the Last Master Mechanic to Resign. Said That These Positions Maj Be Abolished. Effective at once, George E. Ward has been appointed Santa Fe material Inspector, his jurisdiction embracing the entire Santa Fe system, and his duties covering the inspection of all the material which is to be put in the equipment of the road. It is probable that his -work will be confined almost entirely to the car department, others being given the work of inspecting in the case of locomotive building. Mr. Ward will have headquarters at Topeka. although his work and duties w ill call him all over the road. The po sition which he is to fill is a new one with the Santa, Fe, but is thought to be the precursor of the establishment of a reneral inspection bureau in the me chanical department of the road. The resignation of James Collinson from the position of master mechanic of the Santa Fe, announced exclusively In Monday's State Journal, is another important step in the reorganization of the mechanical department of the road, which was reported in the Journal some daVs ago. All three of the master mechanics of the Santa Fe system have resigned. G. W. Smith, of the coast lines, was the first one to go. Then Thomas Paxton, of the Gulf, passed in his notice of withdrawal. James Collinson, of the Santa Fe main lines, was the last of the trio to quit. Thus the way is cleared for some important changes in the management of the work of the mechanical department. It is not yet known what plans have been made for handling the work which has heretofore been done by Mr. Col linson and the other master mechanics. These positions may be abolished. The resignation of Mr. Collinson was a great surprise to most of the men at the Santa Fe shops, though it was predicted about ten days ago in the State Journal that Mr. Collinson was likelv to be disolaced- COLLINSOX'3 GOOD RECORD. James Collinson. who Friday will termin ate his connection with the Santa Fe, has been in the service of the company con tinuously since February 4. lss.'i. when he became general shop foreman here under George H. Hackney, then superintendent of machinery. He came here from the Mil waukee road and says he has not missed a month's pay in the last thirtv-one years. In lS:t he went to Raton, X. M., to take the position of master mechanic of the New Mexico division, remaining there ten months, when he was transferred to the Chicago division with headquarters at Ft. Madison, la. There he remained six years in charge of the mechanical department while the Chicago extension was stiil new. At the end of that time he was stationed at Galveston, Tex., having the title of su perintendent of machinery and general master mechanic of all Santa Fe Gulf lines, successively. During the four years and two months in which he served in this capacity his headquarters were changed from Galvestoin to Cleburne, the transfer requiring a special act of the Texas legis lature. On the 1st of Februarv. 1S01, he was appointed general master mechanic of all the Santa Fe lines proper and came to Topeka, where he has remained to the present. Mr. Collinson thinks he is entitled to a rest, and in connection with this mentions the possibilities of an European trip. He will retain his residence in Topeka for the present. WARD AN EXPERIENCED MAN. George E. Ward, the new inspector of material, is a graduate of the California state college. He began as messenger bov in the great steel plant of the Carneeie company at Pittsburg.

Ross is the pioneer real estate dealer of Topeka, Kan. He has been in business here 27 years and in that time has sold more land than all the dealers together who are now in business here. He located in Topeka in 1873 and witnessed its growth from a town of a few thousand inhabitants to its present size. One would ever suspect from his ap pearance that Mr. Ross, is nearly "7 years of age. He is wonderfully active and rarely misses a day from his office. Mr. Ross is a Mason and a member of the t irst Presbyterian church. He was s.BU-fTTe.r Xrora dyspepsia until he heard of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The follow ing is his opinion of the remedy which has done so much for him: T,3r 1several years, I, Thomas L. Ross, also my wife, Lydia L.

BOAD TO CEIPPLE CSEEK. Santa Fa Said to Be Backing a Now Line. Denver, Colo.. Jan. 28. The Florence, Victor Cripple Creek railroad com pany has been incorporated to build a standard gauge road between Florence and the Cripple Creek district. The company grew out of a public move ment started several months ago, when a mass meeting was held at Florence and money raised by popular subscrip tion to pay the expenses of making a preliminary, survey for the line. It was found that a road can be built with grades not exceeding 2 per cent, and with a difference in elevation of more than 4,000 feet, as compared with the Florence Cripple Creek. J. K. Collins, president: Frank Ruby, vice president; W. B. White, treasurer; G. H. Wilkes, secretary, are the officers of the company, all of them being sub stantial business men and financiers of Florence and of the Cripple Creek dis trict. The survey was completed last August and the estimated cost of con struction Is $1,000,000, with an additional investment of $250,000 In rolling stock. Plans of the promoters also eontem. plate the building of the road to the Wet Mountain valley, southeast of Florence, tapping the mining region of Custer county. The road is designed, it is said, as a rival of the Denver Rio Grande, and it is believed it will be backed by the Santa Fe, Its stocks and bonds to be financed by the banking houses inter ested in that company. The Santa Fe has long sought control of a line into Cripple Creek, which it was expected would have been secured when trte Short line from Colorado Springs was completed a year ago, but that com pany only entered Into an agreement with the Santa Fe on freight traffic, and that under such conditions as gave the transcontinental system no special prestige for commanding business of the gold ca-np. Officers of the new company have an nounced that construction work will be gin by June 1. and the road be put in operation at the earliest possible date. BANTA FE MAN INVOLVED. Sensational Diamond Stealing Case on Trial at San Diego. San Diego, Cal., Jan. 2S. The H. R. Hall and "Bessie Hall" diamond stealing case is on trial before Judge Torrance of the superior court. Hall was for a month or two the night operator at the Santa Fe depot, during which time there was much complaint being made because articles of -alue were missed from baggage at the depot. Kinallv Mrs. H. H. Stowell, a weajthr New York woman, going to the Hotel del Coronado, reported the loss of diamonds approaching $1,000 In valuation. Local detectives went to work on the case, and Detective Selby of the Santa Fe sys tem was sent for. In the meantime Hall was up for petty larceny in the justice court and had to furnish $10 bond. He pawned to Eugene Daney a $500 diamond ring in consideration of the latter going his securitv. It was found that this rin was the propertv of Mrs. Stowell and not onlv Hall, but his alleged sister. Bessie Hall." were arrested. The preliminary ex amination" brought out other damaging testimony, and the detectives claim to have found anv amount of property which Hall had nilfered. A few days ago D. E. Grosh of Del Rio, Tex., arrived in the citv. He is said to be the husband or "Ressie Hall." and does not deny it. al though he registered at the hotel under an assumed name. He and Hall have met before, and there are rumors of a shoot ing scrape in New Mexico. At any rate. Hall made awav with his wife and in ven geance Grosh will do all in his power to assist sending him over the road. He will try to rescue his wife and will return her to her parents. The trial promises sensa tional developments. RUMORS OF TROUBLE. Santa Fe Said to Be Fighting the Santa Fe Central. A dispatch from Santa Fe tells the fol lowing story: Report has it that the San ta Fe Railway company is working hard to prevent the construction of the Santa Fe Central railway into Santa Fe. At first opposition was manifested on Wall street to such an extent that the promoters of the Santa Fe Central railway from Santa Fe to Cameleon were compelled to go to Pittsburg. Pa., for their capital to con struct the proposed line. Not having been able to checkmate the enterprise in that manner, the Santa Fe officials are now en deavoring to persuade the Santa Fe Cen tral officials to desist from building the line from Ortiz to Santa Fe, but to build from Cameleon to Rosswell Instead and to use the Lamv branch conjointly with the Santa Fe to get into the capital of the ter ritory. It is not yet known what the re sult of these negqtiations will be. but it is certain that if the Santa Fe Central does not build into Santa Fe the Denver Rio Grande will break its Wall street agree ment and will parallel the Santa Fe from Santa Fe to El Paso. Big Increase in Business Done. The Albuoueraue Journal-Democrat says: "The increase of the business of the Santa Fe Pacitic in all departments over that of last year is somewhat marvelous. Take the case of the storekeeper's department, headquartered at Albuquerque. Last year S,wO invoices were made up: this year the number has been 2o.u0. Last year $90.UOO worth of business was done each month. This year the amount is worth KiOu.OUO a month." ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. Conductor F. J. Withrow is on duty affer a lay-off of a week. General Superintendent Resseguie went to Emporia today in his special car. R. Congdon, foreman of the black smith shop, has returned from a brief trip to Ft. Madison, la. Thomas S. Stevens, signal engineer for the Santa Fe, has gone on an inspec tion trip to Raton, N. M. Monday evening the social and recep tion committees of the railroad Y. M. C .A. held a meeting at the Association rooms. Brakeman William Herod, who runs on fast freight 31 and 33 between Ar gentine and Newton, has resigned after a term of service lasting ten years. Edward Symmes. an employe of the car sheds who while returning from work more than a month ago, fell on one of his feet, injuring it so badly that he has been obliged to lay off since, came in Monday. The meeting addressed by George R. Henderson, superintendent of motive power, Monday evening, was presided over by W. G. Boon, chairman of the board of managers of the Y. M. C. A. and seated on the platform were W. C. Garvey, agent for the Santa Fe here, and W. H. Conry. foreman of the ma chine shop tool room. William Mespelt. a cabinet maker, was called to Burlington, la., Monday afternoon by a message announcing the death of his wife's sister, Mrs. Fred Grothe. Mrs. Mespelt had been inform ed only Sunday of her sister's serions illness and left that day for her bedside. The funeral will be held Wednesday, and Mespelt expects to return in time for work next Monday. Work on the new steel water tank has been progressing, notwithstanding the cold weather. Today the third course was hoisted to place. Monday afternoon while "pinning out" holes through which the rivets of the tank are driven Emmett Wood, one of- the gang, was struck on the nose by the pin flying backward, and put out of service for the remainder of the day. It was thought his nose was broken, but Wood was able to report for duty this morning. Two locomotives, three coaches more or less damaged, and five cars of steel, "brands plucked from the fire," have arrived from the head-end collision be tween trains 6 and 7 at Medway a week ago Monday. The engines are two of the new monsters, 1019 and 1020, and although badly damaged are not in as bad shape as might be supposed would result from a meeting of such engines. The pilots of both are absent, the 1019 suffering a broken cylinder and making heavy repairs necessary. The 1020 can be fixed up before long ready for serv ice. The tanks of each will require considerable work. Of the three cars partially demolished, the worst is a baggage and express with half of one side torn out until the roof lops down. The others bear more or less serious marks to indicate the force of the col lision. There Is talk among the shop men of organizing a company to run a co operative grocery store, the avowed purpose being to supply members with the best quality of goods at a fair price and on a cash basis. Tie plan is to Issue certificates at $5 a share, no member being allowed more than five shares. All trading must be spot cash, those connected with the company be ing allowed only as much credit as the amount of their stock. It is stated that about two hundred employes have sig nified their willingness to enter into such a deal, and a meeting has been called for the first of March to arrange further details. DRAFT ON NIAGARA. Another Big Electrical Power Plant to Be Installed. New York, Jan. 28. Another great step in the utilization of Niagara power Is announced by The Electrical World and Engineer. On the American side of the falls the Niagara Falls Power company has long had in operation eleven dynamos, each driven by its own turbine and developing 5,000 horse power. A wheel put parallel with the first one was recently completed and within the last year orders were given for eleven more water wheels and gen erators. When these are installed the company will be able to supply 110,000 horse power In the form of electricity. Operations are now to be undertaken on the Canadian side. The Electrical World and Engineer News says that contracts have just been placed with the General Electric company for the construction of three 10.000 horse power generators for the new plant, whose ultimate capacity, it is estimated, will probably reach 200.000 horse power. These negotiations have been conducted through the Canadian Niagara Power company, which had the original char ter for the enterprise, but whose rights have been acquired by the American company. These dynamos will be sit uated, like those of the Niagara Falls Power company, at the level of the sur face of the earth, while the turbines will be in a wheel pit directly under neath. Vertical shafts over 100 feet long will connect the water wheels with the generators. It is asserted that these dynamos will be the largest ever built. The closest approach to them" is made by those being installed in the power house of the Manhattan Elevated Rail way company of this city. The latter have a nominal capacity of 8,000 horse power, but are designed to develop 25 or 50 per cent more in an emergency. TO VISIT AMERICA. Lady Constance MacEenzle Arrives From England. New York, Jan. 28. Lady Constance MacKenzie, a niece of the Duke of Sutherland and heiress to large proper ty in her own right, is among the pas sengers on the Umbria. She was ac companied by her cousin, Hugo Baring, of the banking firm of Baring Brothers, who is a brother of Lord Revelstoke. They were met by Mrs. C. S. Dodge, who will entertain and chaperone "Lady Constance while she is in this country. Lady Constance has traveled extensive ly in Eurpoe and the East, but this is her first visit to America. The Duke of Sutherland, who is her guardian, as well as her uncle, was reluctant at first to let her come, but finally yielded to her express wishes to see the United States. "I shall spend some time in New York, and if I am pleased with my ex perience here I shall make an extensive tour of the country." she said. "I shall not be satisfied until I have seen all the wonder you have to show visitors," BOWEKSOCK AND NORDICA. How the Kansas Congressman Found a Few Nortons. The Washington Post says: Mr. Bowersock, of Kansas, has some knowledge of the popularity of Mme. Nordica and of the wide prevalence of the name of Norton. "A few days ago," said Mr. Bower sock, "in the telegraphic reports, there was a statement that Nordica (Lillian Norton Gower) had retained ex-Speaker Reed to prosecute a claim against the government for several million dollars, growing out of the loss of a ship belong ing to one Iehabod Norton, of Maine, in the days of French spoliation. A western paper incidentally mentioned the fact the other day that my wife is a descendant of the Norton-Gowers and an heir of Iehabod. "And now I am receiving letters from Nortons scattered from Tallahassee to Sitka. It would seem that the Nortons outnumber the Smiths, and claimants for an interest In Ichabod's estate are commoner than requests for 'garden needs.' As an advertisement Nordica's suit beats 'Fourteen Diamond Rings.' "Bill Nye once repeated a poem be ginning: "Autumn leaves are falling. Falling to and fro, but autumn leaves never covered the ground as the Norton letters cover my desk." Methodism in Philippines. San Francisco. aJn. 28. Rev. Homer C.

Henderson Talks "Railroad Education." on Instructive Address at Santa Fe T. M. C. A. Rooms. ADVISES MEN TO STUDY Good Positions Always Waiting For Competent Workers. Edncation Necessary fn Erery Branch of Railroad Work. In an address at the railroad V. M. C. A. Monday evening, George R. Hen derson, superintendent of Santa Fe motive power, inspired those who heard him in 'his analysis of the requisites necessary to the designing, building and operating of the railroad locomo tive, with new hope in the education of the men in the mechanical department of the road.- Mr. Henderson's address was announced late Saturday after noon, after he had been obliged to can cel the date several times. Mr. Henderson's subject was "Edu cation." He went over the educational classes which the association has been conducting all winter, remarking at the pleasure with which he had ob served this evidence of a desire on the part of the men to help themselves. "There is no doubt," said he, "that we feel encouraged to see the boys trying to advance themselves. In choosing assistants it often becomes necessary to go outside of the organization to find tnem, but we do not prefer to do so. "It might be well to take up the work of designing, building and operating the locomotive. I think it mignt be of some benefit to us to point out the way of improving this indispensable part of our railroad, the locomotive. What is the first thing to do? Some say to make a drawing. It is necessary to do this, but even before that we must find out what our engine is going to do after it is constructed. There are loco motives and locomotives. We must de termine what kind of a load we went to pull, at what speed and on what curva ture. It is not always possible to hold cars at a point until there are enough of them to make up a full' train; for instance, in the shipments of oranges which is going on now. If we were to wait until we got a full load many of them would spoil. Then we must de cide how many loads we wish to haul and at what speed we want to haul them. Some think we should bring them through as rapidly as possible,, but tests have shown that the most eco nomical speed is about 15 miles an hour, and that at 30 miles an hour the cost is almost twice as much as at 15. "Then we have to consider the ques tion of grades; they cut a large fig ure on roads like the Santa Fe. For instance on Raton mountain we have the greatest grade, which is about three and a half per cent. The matter of curves must be considered, too, for it is harder to haul a train around a curve than on straight track.- We get our in formation about grades and curvature from the civil engineer who surveyed the line; and right here comes in the necessity of having accurate Informa tion. The engineer must have made a study of transits, levels, typographical drawing. Everything we want to make a success of requires study. "Tractive force is another thing the pull which the locomotive is able to ex ert, The result is the same whether it is a push or a pull. In character little pull and lots of push Is a good thing; much pull and little push is bad; and lots of push is just right. Besides tractive force we must have power; these two constituents are necessary; force and power. Incidentally these apply in the same way to character. Knowing what we have to pull and the speed at which we have to pull it we are able to determine, by taking the tractive force and the speed, the horse power of our engine. The principle of friction comes in. We have seen a lo comotive slip on the rails and that means that the power and the force are not in proper proportion. It is the rule that we must have four times the weight on the wheels that we expect our locomotive to exert in tractive force. The size of the cylinder, the steam pres sure and the size of the wheel are the next thing which we consider. The rule is commonly received that the size of the driving wheel determines the speed of the engine. Then in making the boiler the rule Is that it should be just as big as the engine can stand. To do the work satisfactorily we should get the boiler so large that it will have so much steam that it can keep any load moving. The larger the boiler the more horse power we get. It is considered that for every two and a half feet of lo comotive heating surface t.iere is one horse power. That is for the new com pounds having about 3,700 square feet of heating surface there are about 1,800 horse power. To design a boiler we must further be educated in combus tion and heat; we must determine on the grate surface and the kind and grade of fuel. "The rule is that the larger the grate the slower the combustion and the greater the heat coming out of it. Thus again we see the need of education. There are sev eral kinds of coal of varying heat value, and then there is oil. Six barrels of oil weigh about a ton, but we find that about four barrels will give the heat of a ton of Kansas coal. Then the question is to make the boiler stand the pressure safely. We must study the strength of the boiler steel, the rivets, the stays and the stay bolts, how often they break and what they will stand." The subjects of piston rods, connecting rods, counterbalance, lubrication and link and valve motion came in for brief notice bv Mr. Henderson, as well as that of fuel. "The fuel bill for this road," said he, "is not far from t3.000.000 annually." In referring to locomotives and their types he said: "There is probably noth ing requires more study than the com pound locomotive." The necessity of education in connection with work in blacksmith, boiler and ma chine shops was briefly dwelt upon. "The erecting shop." he said, "requires another kind of education, how the parts fit to gether, the operation of cranes and all that. Electric motors and lights are play ing a larger part than ever in the shop practice. The engine and the dynamo must go together and the man not versed in steam and electricity is not competent to handle them. The new shop will be equipped with probably 40 or 50 electric motors and it will require somebody to look after them. Why shouldn't you have that job as well as somebody else? "You will find it necessary in any line of work to make a study. A pull doesn't count for near as much as it used to. There is hardly any case I know of now where a man can maintain a pull. Rail roads nowadays are not built for pleas ure. but to get results. You should never eive up because these things may seem difficult. When we accomplish a thing that is difficult it makes our work a pleas ure. And if we work loyally I think t the end of life we will have no reason t. complain because of bard work."

An animated and prolonged 'discussion was precipi tated in the senate over the right of army officers to criticise utterances made in the senate or elsewhere on the conduct of affairs in the Philippines. At times it became somewhat acrimo nious, officers In the Philippines being taken sharply to task for statements attributed to them in dispatches from Manila. Rising to a question of privilege early in the session, Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, had read an Associated Press dispatch from Manila in which General Wheaton was quoted as criticising some utterances of Prof. Schurman in a speech delivered in Boston. Mr. Du bois thought the president, in the cir cumstances, would be warranted in reprimanding General Wheaton for hia utterances. He declared that such comment upon the action of the sen ate was "outrageous and indecent,' and that the minority had had quite enough of threats and blackmail. The debate thus precipitated took a wide range. Mr. Lodge, of Massachu setts; Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, and other maintained that no newspaper utterance ought to be accepted as the basis of a reprimand of any officer un less it were supported by an investiga tion, indicating the accuracy of the re port. Rising to speak on the pending ques tion, Mr. Money, of Mississippi, deliv ered an extended speech, in the course of which he went pretty thoroughly over the whole Philippine question. Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, took sharp Issue with the Mississippi senator on some of his conclusions of constitu tional law, contending that the United States could not be expected to grant independence to the Filipinos and to relinquish all rights in the islands merely because of the natives desire for liberty. "I think," said Mr. Dubois, introduc ing the subject of the Wheaton criti cism,' "in view of the statements in this dispatch the president ought to repri mand General Wheaton and those offi cers in the Philippines who are criti cising the senate for Us action or state ments regarding the Philippines. "I don't know who General Wheaton is, but he is probably some charity boy appointed to West Point by a senator or representative and since supported by the government. Such remarks as he is quoted as having made are, how ever, outrageous and indecent." Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, sug gested that it would be wiseto ascer tain before General Wheaton was. rep rimanded whether he actually made the statements attributed to him. Gen eral Wheaton, he said, was an officer of ability and character, and no hasty action should be taken in such a case. Mr. Teller "I don't think there is any doubt that Gen. W'heaton said what is attributed to him." Mr. Lodge "There may be a great deal of dcuui of it. Mr. Teller, continuing, said such a sit uation as had arisen was one of the blessings growing out of the conditions in the Philippines. A padlock, he as serted, was to be placed upon the mouth of every man, congressman or private citizen,, and all criticism of the admin istration's Philippine policy was to be silenced. He referred to the criticism of senators, who had antagonized the administration's policy in the Philip pines, declaring they had been charged even with treason. "I suppose," said he, "that no senator, after a while, will be able to read on this floor the Declaration of Independ ence without subjecting himself to a charge of inciting treason." He said that if Professor Schurman's speech were published in the Philippines it was known over there that he pro posed that the Filipinos ultimately should have their independence. "Anybody," he asserted, "who will criticise the utterances in that speech would criticise the Declaration of In dependence if he dared to do so." Mr. Lodge said Mr. Teller's state ment concerning the Declaration of In dependence was "silly." (What Presi dent Schurman said in Boston did not, in his opinion, concern the senate. The 3nly point was whether a general ef the United States army had criticised the senate. It did not appear from the dispatch that Gen. Wheaton had re ferred to the senate at ail. He hd a perfect right to comment upon Proces sor Schurman's utterances if he wished to. It would be a most unusual uro ceeding to assume that Gen. Wheaton had made the statements ti edited to him. Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, question ed the right of any officer of the Uni ted States army to criticise either the actions or the utterances of any private citizen. Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, inter rjpted to say that the general com manding the army had been reprimand ed by the president for agreeing with the admiral of the navy upon a ques tion on which "all the people of the United States were absolutely agreed." Mr. Carmack did not think that Mr. Tillman's interjection was entirely rele vant Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, contend ed that no unsupported newspaper re port on a matter of this kind had to be accepted by the senate. He therefore deprecated the instructions of the Ma nila dispatch into the senate proceed ings. He thought the whole matter ought to be eliminated from considera tion, as he believed it entirely likely that General Wheaton would be re proved if he had made any statement he ought not to have made. Mr. Lodge said he desired to apologize for referring to anything Mr. Teller may have said as "silly," and pointed out that the statement of General Wheaton did not criticise the minority of the sen ate, but simply Professor Schurmaa. He insisted that there was no disposi tion on the part of anybody to suppress news or views. He Instanced the cir culation of a letter urging the soldiers in the army of the Philippines not to continue to serve. "Who sent out that circular?" in quired Air. Jones, of Arkansas. "It was sent out, I think," replied Mr. Lodge, "by Edward Atkinson. It urged soldiers not to serve in the Philippine war. The letter was widely circulated and attracted attention." Mr. Rawlins insisted that the suppres sion of opinions and information was so notorious that one could not depend on the statements coming to the United States from the Philippines. The Phil ippine commission, he asserted, had ar rogated to itself the functions of con gress; indeed, the commission had done many things which congress never would have done. The dispatch under consideration indicated, he said, that the authorities in the Philippines were prepared even to define and punish what they considered treasonable acts and utterances. Mr. Dubois Insisted that the dispatch he had presented bore evidence on its face of accuracy. "We have been threatened and blackmailed," he said. "as long as we ought to endure it. Such utterances as have been instanced are offensive to us, and they ought not to WHAT A SAMPLE BOTTLE OF SWAMP -ROOT DID.

Mr. Money, of Mississippi, made an extended speech in criticism of the gov-, ernment's policy in the Philippines, de claring: "We are committed to it, I suppose, until we have a lucid interval, and we are not likely soon to have that." Mr. Hale Interrupted to say that the sit uation in the Philippines will grow worse Insteaa or Detter, ana tnat it is anoma lous to mix the military and civil govern ment. Replving to the question of Mr. Hale, as to what he would do with the islands, Mr. Money said: "Let them go to the devil and take care of themselves as far as the American people are concerned. Mr. Money, answering Mr. Hoar, said that before the United States declared war, there were village governments. peacerui ana successiui. in tne r-mupimies. Mr. Piatt of Connecticut said he did not want to let this occasion pass without ex pressing his emphatic dissent from the principle on which Mr. Money's remarks were founded. The Mississippi senator, he said, had not questioned our rights in the Philippines, our sovereignty over the islands or the legality of our acquisition rf them vet he insisted that we were in the Philippines, where the constitution was not, ana tnat we ougnt to accoru to iub Filipinos their independence because they demanded it. Mr. Piatt contended that, if the United States had the right to ac quire territory and hold sovereignty over it it would be a stultification of ourselves to yield our rights to that territory as soon as the inhabitants of the territory demand their independence. Mr. Foraker concurred with Mr. Piatt. The senate, on motion of Mr. Cullom, at 4:45, went into executive session, and at 5:25 adjourned. Stole Blankets and Quilts. Wellington, Jan. 28.

Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 28. The United Mine Workers have taken what is re garded by many of the delegates as the most important action of the convention when it adopted a resolution from Indiana district No. 11. providing that the con vention should levy an assessment on all the members of the organization sufficient for the purpose of carrying to a speedy and successful termination ail strikes now engaged in by the entire organization. A resolution leaving the amount of the as sessment to be determined by the national executive board was passed after much discussion, as some of the members thought the board should not be mad to assume the responsibility. Delegate Reese of Iowa then moved that the board be instructed to report to tills convention. This was concurred in. liefore the noon adjournment President Mitchell, who is head of the executive board, haa an understanding with the convention that the levy was to cover only such strikes as have the Indorsement of the national board. It is the purpose of the miners to fight the operators to the end in all these strikes, as the principle of whether or not the organization Is to be recognized Is at stake. x O'Brien Defeats MuKeever.

Dick Croker says he expects to be -juried in this country, whereupon we Washington Post remarks: "Waat! Again?" J. Edward Addicks boldly lays claim to a right to his own opinion. He also lays claim to a right to sit In the United States senate, but that is disputed. Perhaps the reason some people em bark in a career of crime at so early an age is that they desire to have the final verdict of all the courts on their trial before tbey die of old age. New Yorkers, says Foultney Bigelow, in White Man's Africa, wonder, per haps, what has become of the gaudy omnibuses which once plied up and down Fifth avenue. Many of them are now in service at the Cape taking peo ple to and from the docks. It was odd to see painted on the sides of these buses the old familiar pictures repre senting Indians chasing buffaloes, or a scene on the, Hudson river. Insurance policies on King Edward's life have been issued for suras ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 by Toronto insur ance companies, and the Montreal com panies, according to the Star of that ity, will also accept business of that kind. It is estimated that King Ed ward is a tl5.000.000 risk to the-British companies, of which $9,000,000 is carried ly tradesmen who are protecting them selves against the possible death of the King before the coronation. It appears that any one can take out a policy on King Edward's life, provided an insur ance interest can be shown. Rev. A. L. Hazlett. of Colorado City, in his report to the war department on moral conditions in the Philippines, Ftates that the moral condition of the islands has materially improved since the occupation. Rev. Hazlett says: "Probably in no other country in the world do the white men become so de graded through association with the natives as in the islands. A respect able native or mestizo woman would not live with an American and would not marry one unless great advantage wer gained." Speaking of the saloon he said: "The strict discipline put In operation by General Otis has borne fruit. A law to prohibit gambling was also put into effect December 10." HOW NOT TO DO IT. From the Albany Argus. There is room for suspicion that con gress is playing with the popular de mand for the election of United States senators by direct popular vote, such has been the case, heretofore. In the Inst congress, the measure looking to that end was ostentatiously approved Jn the lower fcouee, only to be buried by the senate. This method of seem ing to do something, while accomplish ing nothing, like a race-horse jumping up and down but getting nowhere, is familiar to the practical politicians of the New York legislature. The report submitted by Representa tive Corliss, of Michigan, in favor of the proposed amendment. Is amazingly Ill-conceived, if sincere. He empha sizes the fact that, under the present method of choosing United States sena tors, "many good and true men of merit are forced to defeat and the glory and honor of a senatorshlp is snatched from the hands of the people by corrupt means." He adds: "Take from the leg islature the selection of United States senators and you will destroy one of the most potent powers through which corporate influence now holds its sway. Give the people the right proposed by this amendment and you will once more restore the United States senate to the position intended by the fathers of our country and remove the influence that now threatens the confidence of the people in" this Important branch of our government." Consider to whom these arguments are directed, and note the course which must be taken, in order to Amend the Constitution. The concur rent resolution must be adopted by the pr-nate, and then be ratified by the leg islatures of three-fourths of the states; or else there must be a convention call e l, on the application of the legislatures f two-thirds of the states, and the rati fication must, in that case also, come from three-fourths of the state legisla tures. In either event, the co-operation cf the senate, and of the legislatures, is essential. Is such co-operation to be obtained by telling the senators, in a public report, that they are the product of corruption, or by telling the legislatures that they axe corrupt? The truth should not be spoken at all times, and, although there Is much truth in what Mr. Corliss says, his argument, as a whole, is an example of "how not to do It."

It isn't drinking that costs so much as the things that go with it. Either you like a girl because she is nicer than the other girls or the other girls aren't as nice as she is. A f ter you have told a girl several hundred times that you love her, you must never forget to ask her if she loves you. A conscience is all rig-lit out in the street in broad daylight, but it's awfully bothersome in the middle of the night up in your room alone. NEW PARKER STORY. Now Claimed He lias Not Been Legally Sworn In. It la claimed that Mayor Parker has not been legally sworn into office, be cause the oath of office was administer ed to him by Chas. A. Magaw, who is not, it is said, a resident of the state, and will not be till February i. Even were this a fact, however, it will not vitiate any of Mayor Parker s acts as mayor, for he became the de- facto mayor of Topeka lmmedately up- the enunciation of the supreme court's decision. Chas. A. Magaw. however, will be able to take the office of police judge at once, because he is at the present time a resi dent of the state of Kansas, under the law. It is claimed that the trouble all came about because Mr. Magaw went to Ok lahoma and became a citizen of that commonwealth at the time of the recent land opening. In doing this, he is said have lost his legal residence in Kansas, although he was absent from Topeka only a few days. He would be obliged to reside in Kansas for six months to regain citizenship. Mayor Parker was asked today if he expects to again take the oath of of fice. He said: "I had not heard before that Mr. Magaw was not entitled to swear me in, consequently I don't know anything about the matter at all. I don't believe there is anything in the report." Even if it were true that Mr. Magaw is not a resident of tha state, it is ad mitted that he will be on February 1, and the business of the city is there fore not likely to be seriously compli cated. However, Mr. Magaw denies that he ever lost his citizenship. DIED FROM SCALDS. Four Tear Old Daughter of Thomas Payne Loses Her Life.

RAY RAND. ONLY TWO DAYS Kansas Midwinter Exposition to Close Thursday Night. It Has Beeu an Unqualified Success. The Kansas Midwinter exposition will close at 11 o'clock Thursday evening. Consequently visitors who are contem plating attending the exposition will have only tonight and Wednesday and Thursday in which to do so. Very few Topeka houses were repre sented in the displays at the exposition. and none of the merchants were al lowed to take space. It is however the most comprehensive display of the prod ucts both manufactured and natural, of the state of Kansas, ever made in Kan sas in recent years. It is undoubtedly a revelation to the visitors to the ex position who had heretofore no con ception of the magnitude and diversified interests of Kansas. The attendance yesterday was low on account of the severity of the weather. Still it was not so low as to call forth complaint. Two thousand, eight hun dred and ninety-three people paid their way into the exposition during the ar ternoon and evening, Monday. "Con sidering the weather, I thing it was t large crowd." said R. S. Brigham. man ager of the exposition today. The total paid attendance during the seven days of the exposition Is za.Sbs. The vaudeville programme this week Is especially strong. Rosa ire. the slack wire artist is a topliner in his class and is the new feature for the remainder or the week. John Dee, the juggler and Plamondon and Amondo In the revolv ing ladder act are still on the pro gramme, and never fail to delight the audience.

Finale "Hot Stuff" Stahl DO TOTJ LIKE PANCAKES P Eagle Pancake Flour Makes Good Pancakes. To be convinced of it one only needs to note the crowds of satisfied people eating hot pancakes at the booth of the Ralston Yeast company. This well known Topeka company made last year more than 8,000 cases of the popular Eagle seir-rlslng pancake flour. Eagle buckwheat flour and Eagle breakfast food are made by the same people. Every day display Is made at the company's booth of fresh bread and rolls made with the celebrated Ralston yeast. Each day a different brand of flour is used in making this bread, prov ing that a housewife can, with the aid of Ralston yeast, bake good bread from any brand of flour.high or straight pat ent. Ralston yeast Is never allowed to grow old on the shelves of the grocery stores. Salesmen visit the stores regu larly and if they find any Ralston yeast that has been on hand as long as 90 days it is destroyed and replaced with fresh new stock. The Ralston Yeast company, though only four years old, is one of Topeka's most successful manufactories. Mr. L. C. Betz, the manager, attributes their success most of all to the ackuowledged merit of their products. GIVINO AWAY ROLLED OATS. How an Enterprising Firm Keeps the Public Posted The Atlas Oats company Is giving away very nice sample packages of their celebrated Atlas brand of rolled oats and Flaked wheat at their ar tistically decorated both, which occu pies two sections on the north Bide of the exposition hall, directly across the hall from the exhibit of Parkhurst, Da vis Co. Do not fall to see the elaborate dis play of some of the leading cereals made by this company under their fa mous "Atlas brand," and also the beau tiful pictures, standard books, fine as sortment of gold rings, aluminum ware and superior quality of ladies' chatelaine bags, leather goods, etc. Do not forget to ask for one of their beautiful premium books, whrch con tain full information regarding the above premiuns. These premiums are given for coupons, one of which will be found in each package of Atlas oats. All will remember that the Atlas Oats company donated the capital prize of 1500 In the Nordica concert and guess ing contest, to raise funds to purchase an organ for our magnificent exposition hall. JUST THINK, OF THIS. Kansas Has the Second Largest Soap Factory in the united Stales. Kansas has next to the largest soap factory in the United States. Only one other concern makes more soap than the Peet Bros. Manufacturing company of Kansas City, Kas. They have a capacity of about 500 cars of laundry soap a month and 140 gross of toilet soap a day. About 90 different brands of laundry soap are made by the Peet Bros, com pany, and over 200 kinds of toilet soap. Toilet soaps imported from France are in no way superior to those made by this company. In fact when they are stamped with a French label an expert cannot distinguish between them. Important by-products of the Peet Bros, factory are glycerine, sal soda, lye, and cotton linters, of whlch large quantities are used by Topeka mattress factories. In Topeka the best known of the Peet Bros.' soaps is the Silk soap. Many tons of this soap are used iiere every month. It will be remembered that last fall the makers of Silk soap gave $110 in cash prizes in Topeka, to collectors of Silk soap wrappers. KANSAS MADE MACHINERY. What One Firm in tne State Is Doing. One of the exhibits at the Midwinter exposition which is of interest to all Kansans is the machinery exhibit of J. B. Khrsam Sons, of Enterprise, Kaa. The exhibit consists of a water-tube boiler and some pumps, specialties of this firm. Mr. J. B. Ehrsam is in dharge of the xhibit. This irm manufacture- complete lines of machinery for flour mills, plaster mills,' grain elevators, power transmitting machinery of all kinds, etc. Mr. J. B. Ehrsam, the senior members of the firm, is one of the brave, energetic pioneers who have done so much for Kansas in developing the manufacturing industries of the state. Coming to Kansas in 1869 from Switz erland, where he acquired his experi ence as a machinist and millwright, he built the old C. H. Hoffman mill at En terprise and gradually worked up a large mill-building trade in Kansas and the southwest. It Is Interesting to note that a dozen of the exhibitors at the exposition, including flour mills, cement and plaster mills, and creameries, etc.. are using machinery in their plants designed and built by this enterprising firm. The boiler on exhibit is designed for power and heating purposes, and al though placed on the market a few years ago has been introduced in nine teen states. Parties interested in machinery of tihs kind will secure interesting infor mation by addressing the above firm. FUNSTOfToN METCALF. Says There Is No Foundation lor Charges Made. Kansas City, Jan. 28. Gen. Funston In an interview with a reporter here to day said of the investigation conducted In Washington recently regarding the killing of two Filipinos: "The investigation of Gen. Metcalf is In the nature of threshing over a mat ter already settled. The whole thing is based on an affidavit made by Private Huskey, formerly of the Kansas regi ment. Huskey swore that he saw Met calf shoot unarmed prisoners. That was in March, 1S99. In March, 1900, Huskey appeared before a board of army officers appointed to Investigate Metcalf s connection with the affair. "Here he stated that the previous affi davit was secured from him by a Kan sas officer after the latter had gotten him drunk. Huskey said that he signed a paper but had no knowledge of Its contents. "This was the affidavit upon which the charge against Metcalf was based. He denied every statement made in the affidavit at the hearing in March, 1900. Gen. Funston was indignant at the hint of a reprimand from the senate for Gen. Wheaton. x Ho reviewed Gen. Wheaton's long career and said that he did not be lieve in subjugating the Filipinos by sprinkling them with rosewater. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

ESCAPEDALIVE Ex-Officers Bernard and llutton liare Lively Experience. Become Inroired in a Family Row at Perry. Case Against Them For Dis turbing Peace Dismissed. The case in the Justice court at Perry against Will Hutton, Henry Ber nard, ex-Topeka police officers and Edith Willetts for disturbing the peace, was today dismissed, and the costs as sessed to the prosecuting witness, "Link" Willetts, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Ed ith Willetts. This case, in which two of Topeka's ex-policemen were unwillingly mixed, has a streak of comedy. It is a badly mixed affair, but as near as can be gleaned from the participants, Mrs. Willetts did not suit the family of her husband, and they made strenuous ef forts to part them. The husband is an invalid, and liable to die at any time, and Mrs. Willetts declares that It is the purpose of the family to keep them apart until he dies, with a view of se curing his property, and leaving her out in the cold. A little over a week ago, the wife received a brief note from her sick husband, in which he said: "For God sake, Edith, come and get me, 1 want to die at home." Mrs. Willets was in a quandary. She had been repeatedly denied a sight of her husband, who was lying sick at the home of his parents, 6 or 7 miles below Grantville, and about a week before this was arrested on a complaint made by his family, charging her with dis turbing the peace. She came to To peka and asked the advice of Judge George W. Clark. He went to Carl Goff, police sergeant, and asked him for two good men to go with Mrs. Wil letts, and keep her from being harmed by the family, while she talked with her husband. Goff recommended Hut ton and Bernard, who were out of a job. Mrs. Willetts hired a buggy, and the three went to the house where her husband was confined. Here the little woman showed her pluck by taking the lead. They knocked on the door but received no response, and Mrs. Willetts, who was anxious to see her husband, opened the door and stepped inside. Three sisters-in-law and an irate mother-in-law were waiting for her. They struck her several times before the ex-policemen could interfere, but she broke away and rushed into the next room where her husband lay sick. The scene that followed was touching to the men, as it looked sad to them, but had no effect on the women of the house. Mrs. Willetts knelt sobbing by the bedside, and her husband put his arms around her neck. "Edie," he said, "I guess I must die here, but I want you to take the baby with you. "No you won't," yelled Mrs. Mother Willets, who proceeded to strike the wife of her son with a club. "Bring me the ax, she yelled to a daughter, and I will split her head." A pitched battle ensued. The women used clubs and other weapons, aid they were re inforced by three men and another won an, who suddenly appeared on the scene. Bernard and Hutton had re ceived several blows in the melee, but refrained from striking back. They braced up wonderfully when the men appeared, and were "at home" to all callers. After the belligerents had been subdued Bernard and Hutton loaded Mrs. Willets and her child into the buggy, despite the objections of the others, and departed. They first went to Mrs. Willets' home, three miles from the scene of warfare, but the poor woman was afraid to stay alone and came on to town with the officers. Hei brother-in-law, "Link" Willets, gave chase with a band of trusty retainers, and when he reached' her home fired several shots into the house, which shows that she did well to move on. Willets then swore out a warrant for all three of them, and they were ar rested by a constable and taken to Perry, where they gave $500 bond to appear today. The prosecuting witness evidently weakened, and the case was dismissed. He was probably afraid of the result of an investigation. Hutton wore a sore head for several days as the result of a connection with a club. "When it comes to a free-for-all with women, count me out," say both he officers. SNYDER TO BE TRIED. Street Commissioner Won't Quit Till Council Acts. Frank Snyder, street commissioner of the city of Topeka, has refused to re sign his position at the request of Mayor Parker, but has agreed to resign pro vided he is requested to do so by a majority of the members of the city council. An informal meeting of the members of the council is to be held some time this week, which will be secret session. The question will be taken up and dis cussed, and a vote taken. If a majority of the council want Mr. Snyder to stay. Mayor Parker will no longer insist upon his resigning. This scheme has been agreed to by both Mayor Parker and Mr. Snyder. It is claimed by the friends of Mr. Snyder that he has the support of Coun cilmen Snattinger, Chaney. Troutman, Swendson, Miller, Bergundthal, Myers and Neil. Those who are conceded to the opposition by Mr. Snyder's side are Councilmen Warner, Griley, Weber and Nichols. On the other hand, Mr. Snyder's op ponents claim the support of Chaney, Myers, Snattinger and Bergundthal, in addition to the four conceded, to them. It looks on the face of the thing as though this arrangement would be very favorable to Mr. Snyder, though he was one of the most violent Hughes par tisans. As a matter of fact, the scheme is simply another way of trying Mr. Snyder before the council, in which charges can be heard and weighed, and the personal preferences of the coun cilmen taken into consideration. The advantage of the plan is that it avoids publicity, and leaves nothing as a mat ter of record. If the majority of the council stand by Mr. Snyder in the secret caucus, it is to be hoped that they would also stand by him in a pub lic trial, and therefore a public trial would be unnecessary. When Mr. Snyder was asked today to make a statement concerning his posi tion, he said: "I do not care to discuss the matter. Any information should come from the mayor. I simply will state that I am willing to abide by the decision of the mayor and council." Mayor Parker is said to be anxious td have Mr. Snyder step out in order that he may appoint some one td the place. Furman Baker, Henry M. Steele and R. M. Spivey are mentioned.

Aside from political preferences, Mayor Par ker likes Mr. Snyder, and thinks that he has made a good record as street commissioner. When asked as to his plans, Mayor Parker said: "I thought I had this street commis sioner appointment all fixed up a few days ago, but things have happened now -which make it as far at sea as ever." Street Commissioner Snyder has fre quently expressed himself as believing that no charges against him can be made to "stick" before the council. Upon that point, however, there Is con siderable difference of opinion, some of the members of the council being em phatic In their declarations that Sny der can be removed for cause If the matter ever goes that far. City Physician C. E. Judd still holds to his original plan, and refuses to re sign. He was asked today whether or not he would be willing to accept the same terms offered by Street Commis sioner Snyder, and leave his fate in the hands of the members of the council. He said: "I have not thought about that plan. and would not care to say .that it would be satisfactory to me. I lhave not changed my views in the matter yet." The time for the informal secret meeting of the council has not been hx ed, but it will likely be some time be fore next Monday night. DORSEY GOES FREE Wife No. 3 Induces Home. Him to Go J. Owen Dorsey, he of many wives apd much trouble, was released from the county jail this morning, and is free to go his way, which seems to be quite a peculiar way. Mrs. Dorsey No. 3 refuses to prosecute him. She had a long interview with Mrs. Dorsey No. 4 last night, and it was agreed that No. 4 should go home with her brother-in-law, and play quits, and that the polygamous husband should go home where he belonged, with Mrs. D. No. 3, and the children. Mrs. Dorsey No. 3 paid the costs of the arrest and deten tion of her wayward husband, amount ing to J40. When the latest addition to Dorsey's seraglio came to bid him good bye, he made a strenuous effort to kiss her, but she shoved him away and would not permit the parting salute. Dorsey's case was set for a hearing in city court tomorrow, but he is safe for the present. It Is evident that Mr. J. Owen Dorsey can put up a good talk. Wife No. 1 is dead and wife No. 2 is divorced so Dorsey is with his legal spouse. FOUND MAIL SACKS. Oberlin Postmaster Didn't Under stand Topeka's Transfer System. Tn crossing th street at the transfer station at noon today Postmaster Henry i .utib of Oberlin came across two mail pouches between the car tracks. Jumping at the conclusion that the mall sacks wore lost from a mail wagon and that they should be returned to the post office, he gathered them up and started to carry them to the postoflice to turn them safely over to his friend, Postmaster Guthrie. When he reached the opposite corner of the street with the mail sacks it occurred to Postmaster Leib that perhaps the sacks were all right and that his duty as an official of the postofflce department dirt not require him to shoulder the responsi bility. He stopped and hesitated. And turned around. Then re-cfossed the street and came into the State Journal office carrying the mail nouches. "I want to call your attention to the careless wav tht?y handle the mails in To peka," he said to a reporter. "Here are a couple of mail sacks I found out here in the middle of the street car tracks that must have fallen from a mail wagon." An explanation of the system of trans ferring the sacks from one car to another to be carried to the stations in the sub urbs was enough to send Postmaster Leib hurrying back with the sacks to the place where ie found them. The careless svstem of transferring mail in Topeka. is well illustrated by this Inci dent: Binder Twine Seized.. Bostdn, Jan. 28. Two carloads of binder twine have been seized by treas ury agents at Newburyport, on the ground that the twine was the pro-. J duct of prison la Dor in a uanaaian pen itentiary.

D0W1EITES LET CHILD DIE Indiana Couple Allow Daughter to Suffer, Denying Medical Relief Mishawaka, Ind., Jan. 2S. True to their faith in John Alexander Dowie of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Krepps today wit nessed the death of their 5-year-old daugh ter from acute pneumonia without apply ing to medical aid for relief. The ten tfaya of intense suffering on the part of the chil.l caused the neighbors to appeal to the po lice and through the efforts of the latter a physician was permitted to enter the ICrepps home. The parents declared they had no faith In medicine and that if the child's death was inevitable it would be folly to give her drugs. The medicines left by the doc tor were not administered. Public indig nation is roused and the family will be os tracised here. The authorities may Insti tute proceedings against the parents for criminal negligence. PURE SILVER MINE Wonderful Strike of Two Mon tana Prospectors. Niehart, Mont., Jan. 28. Two prospec tors, Dave IJwellyn and W. H.

"Strange as it may seem," remarked a physician, who has practiced in a small place for nearly twenty-five years, "three-fourths of my practice id amongst the farmers living within a radius of twelve miles of this town. Farmers ought to be the healthiest peo ple on earth, but as a matter of fact, there is somebody sick In their fam ilies most of the time. The trouble is, they eat too much. Their stomachs be come clogged, biliousness and headache follow, then they send for me." Town people overeat, too, but for rea sons easily explained, they do not eat as much as a farmer and his family do. A great many people imagine they have heart disease, malaria and aggra vated stomach trouble, when as a nat ter of fact It is their stomach. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and Herb Lax ative Compound taken as directed makes healthy stomachs. It heads off Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, sick headache and constipation and. expen sive doctor bills. It is sold by most druggists in 50c and $1.00 bottles. Ask for it. If he hasn't R, we will be glad to send you a trial bottle and a val uable little book on stomach troubles free. Pepsin Syrup Company. Monti cello, 111., U. S. A.

The special cor respondent of the Tribune at St. Thom as. D. W. I., sends the following in con rection with the reported transfer of the islands to the United States: What puzzles the average Danish West Indian more than anything else is the impression which seems to have gained ground in America and else where that he objects to the transfer of these islands and that a plebiscite is necessary. Apart from the fact that there are so many different nationalities It the Danjsh West Indies that it would be a matter of great difficulty to arrive eta Just conclusion in case of a plebis cite, it may be confidently asserted that ro such wish has been expressed, and if it were cossible to take a vote, under Fuch circumstances, it would be in fa- or of the transfer. That there may have been a feeling against it some time ago among a few if the natives is possible, but this was I artly owing to sentiment and partly to the statements made by the anti file party about the miserable condition t f Porto Rico under American rule. Now that the truth has come to light nbout that island, and every mail brings further reports of its progress, once again as in 1S67, our people are looking forward to the change, believing that there can be nothing save prosperity for these islands should it take place. It is a pity that this state of feeling of the inhabitants has not been more widely circulated throughout the Uni ted States so that Americans might know that they are not taking under their protection an unwilling people a fact which can be substantiated bv any American who has visited these islands. There has been little excitement here the last few days owing to a rumor tha t the sale was "oft." At St. Croix, as an offset to the telegram sent to the finance minister and the rigsdak by 146 leading Inhabitants, among whom were 41 planters, representing 40,000 out of 50,000 acres of cultivation land of the island, praying for the sale an opposition list was started. The few property hollers that were overlooked refused to sign It, but the officials and a few policeman did so. But the opinion seems to be graining ground that all the opposition has been fostered by Danish specula tors in the hope that should negotia tions be declared off and values become further depressed they may be aols to purchase lands and houses for a son. "The St. Croix Avis" in a letter from the rector of Anglican church, exposes the manner In which anti-sale signa tures weYeobtainedtoalist in Bassio.the other town. This list was sent bv cable to the prime minister at Copenhagen on the 9th inst. It protests against the tel egram sent by the 40 planters and 106 proprietors, already alluded, character izing them as American capitalists and asks "his excellency to use his lnfluent-e to keep St. Croix under the Danisj fla on condition that the mother courtrv will know how to find means to make the cultivation of sugar which at pres ent finds itself in a most critical posi tion, remunerative to this island." This is signed by three Danish plant ers, two merchants and by 215 other per sons, all eminently respectable, but not employers of nearly two-thirds of the islands laborers, who will shortly be without employment unless some Cared of Plies.

"The favorite comedian, Mr. Harry Web ber, and his admirable company in hia suc-Cf-ssfi melodrama, 'Nip and Tuck.' i3 the way in which the programme at the Crawford last nigrht announced, what was holding forth on the stage. Who Mr. Webber is a favorite with Is a question. Who could have ever styled his company admirable is a doubt. Who could have styled the four acts as success ful is uncertain. Really Mr. Webber must have been responsible for ail three state ments. It really seems that "Nip and Tuck" must be nothing" more nor less than the Bnglish Vncle Tom's Cabin." It must be the staere monstrosity that is to Great Britain what the bloodhound and floating1 ice drama is to the United States. From all appearances it la the kind to be hawked about the streets with brass bands and drum majors. It is really worse than "T'ncle Tom's Cabin, for that immortal story when well acted is worth seeing1, but Messrs. Mansfield, Irving and Jeffer son and Misses Terry, Adams and Arthur could not make "Nip and Tuck" entertain ing to a gallerv of rag pickers. "Nip and Tuck" is at par with "The King of the Opium. Ring, "Kidnaped in New York." "The Fast Mall" and "The Daughter of the Diamond King." In fact it is really worse than some of them, but it is the same old style. It is the usual melodrama stage dose given In allopathic doses. It has the usual villain and his wronged wife. In this case the deserted epouse was red faced. fat, short of breath and had a severe cold. Then there was the usual "Lady Beau forth," whom the villain wished to marry ana an old uncle who objects to the match. Webber takes the part of a detective and assumes several disguises. He acts the sublime and much dreamed of bv small bovs role of "Nick Carter" or "Old Sleuth." Of course the first act takes place at some abbey. In this case the place is known as "Beaufort Abbey," and true to the allo pathic formula, the last act is in a lodg ings, those of "Francis Dashleigh," the wife of the villain, and the name of the villatn of course was "Termaln," "Major Arthur Termain." Webber Is headed west with his "Nip and Tuck." The Indians have been quiet on the reservations and lynchings and shootings have been below the minimum in New Mexico and Arizona for some time. He best keep away from those localities. It was about the smallest audience of the season which saw the play last night. AT THE COURT BALL Schwab Cats a Wide Swath Among the Austrians. New- York, Jan. 28. According to the "Vienna correspondent of the Herald the reception of Mr. Charles M. Schwab at the Austrian capital was a splendid one. The emperor is Quoted as saying that he would gladly welcome the news that any number of American were coming over here, and he meant to show that in his reception to Mr. Schwab. The steel trust's president made a record in get ting an invitation to the court ball. All the invitations had long since ceased and the books of the court were closed. The answer at first was "impossible," but that there is no "impossible" was shown by the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were present. Thereby they saw one of the finest sights in the world a Viennese court ball. Mr. Schwab made a record and aston ished people here by ordering a special train to take him to Budapest. So en thustastice were the Hungarians over his large handedness and enterprise in the matter that they met him with cries as he arrived and departed of "Kljen Schwab," the first word, it may be explained, meaning "brave." He was given a dinner at Hotel Bris tol at Which there were present among others the hereitary Prince Metternich, Count Szapary, who had done Mr. Schwab the honors in Budapest as pres ident of the Park club, considered there one of the finest clubs in the world; Count Sternberg, Herr Novak of Prague, one of the leading commercial men in Austria and Herren Charles Arthur and Ernest Wolff. Dr. De Grie Wittgenstein, the largest steel man in Austria, gave a party In Mr. Schwab's honor the night he and Mrs. Schwab left. They went direct from that party to the train a move which rather astonished the guests present, but which Mr. Schwab described as "the way we do things in America." People say that Mr. Schwab combined a touch of business with a deal of pleas ure, and that he found time to talk about the possibilities of the steel in terests in Austria and that questions of an amalgamation of interests were not foreign to the conversation. Slight Opposition to Former, None to Latter. Engineer and Sanitary Forces Are Scaled Down. Charles A. Magaw for police judge and H. K. Goodrich for superintendent of the city electric light plant, are the two appointments announced last night by Mayor Parker at a, very short meet ing of the city council. Mr. Magaw and Mr. Goodrich took office today, the former succeeding Frank Lindsay and the latter C. C. Munson. Frank Lindsay will resume the prac tice of law, and Mr. Munson will take a position with the Independent Tele phone company. P.esidee locating these two new offi cials, Mayor Parker used his official ax with bloody results. He cut down" the force of the city engineer by three men. H. K. GOODRICH, Appointed to Be Superintendent of the City Electric Light Pant. and the force of the sanitary depart ment by two. All these office-holders will sever their connection with the city on February 1. The three men in the city engineer department to go are W. L. Fulton, instrument man; G. T. Mat tlngly, sewer inspector, and George Larkins, rodman. J. C. McClure and J. J. Hostetler were the sanitary officers to lose their positions. Mr. Hostetler is the man who tendered to Mayor Parker his resignation, in the hopes of winning favor by his willingness to stand aside. Both Mr. Magaw and Mr. Goodrich, the new appointees, are Republicans. In both instances they were opposed by Populists or Democrats. Mr. Magaw won his appointment through a strong political backing. Mr. Goodrich was chosen because he is thoroughly fa miliar with the work at the plant, and understands the machinery. Mayor Parker stated that he would not risk putting a new man in charge of so much valuable and delicate machinery. There was a slight breath of opposi tion to the confirmation of the Magaw appointment. Councilmen Miller, Ber gundthal and Swendson voted against the confirmation. Councilmen Myers, Weber, Griley, Warner, Chaney, Trout man and Nichols voted for it. Coun cilman Troutman made a short speech in explanation of his vote. Mr. Trout- CHAKLKS A. MAGAW.

"However," he said, "I consider that the management of the affairs of the police department are within the par ticular and peculiar province of the mayor. He is alone responsible for ap pointments and removals, and he is re sponsible for the charcter of the police department. Therefore I believe that the proper thing to do is to vote for the confirmation of the mayor's ap pointment." The vote foj the confirmation of H. K. Goodrich was unanimous. The dismissal of the five men from the city engineering and city sanitary departments was in the interests of economy. There will likely be no one appointed to the vacancies for the pres ent. There was no other business of im portance. Three communications were received fro-n East Eighth street! peo ple, asking that their names be taken off the East Eighth remonstrance, and placed on the original petition for pav ing. A petition for a bridge across the Shunganunga on Lawrence street, be tween Fifth and Sixth streets, wu re ceived. It was voted to extend to the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers an offi cial invitation to come to Topeka for their convention in 1904. The free uss of the Auditorium for a month and of the council chamber was extended. The council will meet next Monday night for the regular monthly session. Charles A. Magaw, who has been ap pointed police judge, is a young man $2.00 Worth of Merchandise Anything XJ want in Clothing, Hats. Caps. Furnishings. The Record BreaKer Sale THE HOB, who has grown up in Topeka. He spent his boyhood on a farm near Thompson vllle, and came to Topeka to attend Washburn college. After spending sev eral years in college, he went to the State university of Kansas and entered the law school. He graduated from the law school, and went to work in the law office of Ferry Doran in this city, and was there until he was appointed police judge by Mayor Drew in 1899. Mr. Ma gaw succeeded to the position through the death of Chas. Guy. When the Hughes administration came into power, Mr. Magaw was removed, though he claimed that his term of office had not expired. By compromise he sur rendered the office to Frank Lindsay on condition that Lindsay resign in case Mr. Parker should finally win in the pending litigation. The policy of Magaw as police judge was one of the issues of the campaign, and his reappointment has been expected for some time though a hard fight has been made on him. The Democrats nearly all opposed him be cause they wanted a Democrat in the office, and many of the Hughes faction of the Republicans were also camping on his trail. He had the warm support of some of Mr. Parker's closest friends and these friends made a hard fight for him and won. Mr. Magaw says that he wants a chance to vindicate himself before the people of Topeka, and prove that the charges which have been made against him are unfounded and malic ious. H. K. Goodrich, who has been ap pointed superintendent of the city elec ti Ic light plant In place of C. C. Munson, has lived in Topeka for 23 years. He Is 60 years old and served in the Twenty third Pennsylvania cavalry for four years during the civil war. During the first eight years of his life in Topeka he was employed as a machinist in the Santa Fe shops. He helped install the Topeka water plant, and had charge of its operation for nine years. At the end of that time he was sent out to install water plants for a large company in western cities. In 1891 he became chief engineer at the Edison plant and held that position until last month. He is a thorough mechanic. Superintendent Goodrich knows nothing about the de tails of politics. Some of his intimate friends do not know what is his politi cal fcith, but he may be described as a Republican of the "passive" kind, but he knows his business which is more to the point and made an excellent record during the two years he was in charge of the city electric light plant.

NATIONAL DISGRACE Carnegie Deplores Shooting Down Harmless Filipinos. New Tork, Jan. 28. "The killing of men under the name of war," wrote Andrew Carnegie In a letter which was read at the P. F. Collier dinner at the Metropolitan club last ni&bt, 'is the foulest blot upon humanity today. We see much discussion as to what Is or what la not permissible under civilized warfare. My view is that this is a con tradiction of terms. There can be no such thing as civilized warfare. We lave made little progress in tne path of genuine civilization as long, as we can find no better substitute for the set tling of International disputis than the biutal murder of one another. As a gen.tal proposition it ma be stated that the nation which refuses peaceful aibitration is responsible Tor the war which ensues. Britain, having done this in Its: dispute with the Trarsvaal re public, is responsible for the extermina tion of a brave and heroic Christian pejple- 'Hut let us also remember that we fcre today engaged in shooting down Christian Filipinos whose only crime is that they believe in the declaration of Independence.

Independent Telephone Com panies Organize For Business. Will Bosh Construction of New Lines in Kansas. LOOK TO THE FUTURE Expect to Unite the Entire West. Uniform System of Tolls Will Be Arranged. Independent telephone men in conven tion in Topeka today hope 'to secure during the course of the next five years, a monopoly of the toll lines west of the Missouri river. Delegates from practically every in dependent telephone company organ ized and operating In Kansas and ter ritory contingent are here, and a per manent organization is being perfected to be known as the Kansas Independent Telephone Men's association. The principal objects of the state or ganization are set forth in the follow ing recommendations of the committee on permanent organization. that are embraced in the constitution and by laws that were adopted this morning: "To establish a uniform system of toll lines, rates and system of accounts. "To provide through metallic trunk lines connecting county seat towns with Topeka and Kansas City. "To secure favorable legislation and just taxation. "To protect the independent telephone interests from unfair and unbusiness like competition." Corporations, companies, and Individ uals operating independent telephone systems only are eligible to member ship in the association. Membership fees are $5, with an an nual assessment not exceeding 2 cents per phone operated by the company or individual, and 2 cents per mile of toll line operated. The executive committee will be em powered to levy assessments for use when occasion arises that its use will be required. The olan of organization emoraces a plan to form a gigantic company to erect toll lines thoroughly covering the western territory. Members of the as sociation being formed today will be the principal stockholders in this com pany and contracts will be made be tween the toll line company and the in dependent companies operating in the various cities and towns wnereoy tne rates charged for use of the lines will be divided pro rata between the com panies whose lines are used. To arrange this plan a great many conflicts will arise between companies in various cities relative to the distri bution of business but all such troubles will be settled by a committee on arbi tration so as to treat each company in all fairness. It is oredicted that within a year, or a few years at most, all the independ ent telephone lines in the west will be working under contracts that will en able the independent companies to keep the field entirely to themselves. The independent company In Kansas City contemplates spending a million dollars in installing the system there. The independent companies win everywhere use the best material, and the toll lines will be the best known to modern times, and will be the best. money and skill and science combined can give. D. T. Bralley, of the Independent company of Kansas City, was present at the meeting today. Mr. Brailey said that in Kansas City the independent company was spending a million dollars to install a system, and tha.t he wished the co-operation of the independent companies all over the state. 'Now is time for us to stick to gether," he said. "The Bell company will undoubtedly use whatever tactics they can to circumvent us, but we must hang together. Already there Is a gentleman named DeLand. who announces himself as an independent telephone man, at work here. It is the general impression among independent men in the east. however, that he is not an independent man but that he is connected with the Bell company. "I am told that he has already been endeavoring to secure contracts from independent companies throughout the state for interchange of business, claim ing ne was connected with the new Kansas City independent company. If it is true that ne is doing this, then he is an imposter. I want to urge upon you the neces sity of refusing to make contracts with toll companies or with people whom you do not know until the company or indi vidual has the endorsement of your ex ecutive committee of the association. You cannot be too careful In this mas ter. "There Is vast undeveloped territory in the west that is not touched by the Bell system, and it must be our aim to thoroughly cover it." One of the interesting papers for to day's meeting was the one presented by E. K. Rinehart. of Holton. on "Our Friend the Enemy." It dealt with the history of the growth otf the Bell sys tem and the marvelous growth of the independent companies which were first organized about seven years ago. ine convention will meet in regular session once each year in January. FAVORABLE REPORT. One Ordered on the Irrigation Bill Recently Framed. Washington, Jan. 28.

FOOT 22 INCHES LONG. Carries a Club, and Utters Frightful Yells, Twenty Men Hare Gone Out to Capture It. Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 28.

The creature showed fight and flourishing a large club and uttering a series of yells started to attack the skaters, who man aged to reach their wagons and got away in safety. Measurements of the tracks showed the creature's foot to be 22 inches long and seven inches broad, with the im print of only four toes.

Haulers' UnioH in Chicago Shuts Off Summer Gas Users. Chicago, Jan. 28. The severe weather which seemed to be moderating last night, was again In evidence tuflay, and at daylight the temperature was' 4 de grees below zero. The cold wave in the extreme northwest has moderated con siderably, the temperature ranging from zero to 4 below. At 10 o'clock the thermometer at Chicago was 1 below zero. Predictions are that there will be further moderations of the cold as the day advances, and that there will be no more zero weather with this cold wave. Coal teamsters today renewed their war on big down-town buildings. The coal teamsters' union decided that its members should cart no coal to the buildings where gas is used during the summer months. At 8 o'clock 100 drivers were ordered to stop by officials of the union, and promptly obeyed the order. President Albert Young of the coal teamsters' union said: "We have already stopped hauling coal to the Old Colony building, the Monadnock, the Palmer house and the Auditorium. Our men are being called off other buildings as quickly as we can get to them, and before night not a union teamster will be hauling coal to buildings that use gas for fuel during te summer. "During the last cold snap our men were worked to death. Buildings that had formerly used fuel gas found out that coal was necessary, and our men had to work night and day, and at that were unable to meet the demand. Many of the regular coal burners were com pelled to wait for coal and suffered greatly on account of our inability to supply the den and." Rumor had it today that the refusal of the teamsters union to haul coal to buildings where gas was used was a clever move of the so-called coal trust against the gas trust. It was announced definitely that the coal combine was behind the teamsters and had pledged its support. Milton 'Booth, secretary of the coal teamsters' union, said: "We are not in the fight alone, but have the support of the coal men. We would have conducted the campaign alone had it been necessary, but with the aid of our employers we are in a much better position to conduct the fight, and it will be a lively-one." DOORS ARE CLOSED. Reporters Excluded From Meet ing of United Mine Workers. Indianapolis, Jan. 28. The United Mine Workers closed their doors this afternoon against newspaper men so that discussion of the report of the scale committee could not be made public Guards were stationed at the doors after the newspaper men left to see .that no one broke in. President Haskins of the Ohio miners, secretary of the scale committee, said he was ready to report. Many of the miners were willing that the reporters should re main, but they were in the minority, so the reporters had to go. It was reported before the convention be gan that the committee had agreed to pre sent a demand for a general advance for bituminous miners equivalent to a 10 per cent run of mine basis and a differential of 7 cents a ton between pick and machine mining. Some of the miners from west ern states, including Illinois, were in favor of a differential of 4 cents, but it is said that the members of the scale committee finally agreed to 7 cents. The committee, it was understood, would demand a uni form scale of wages for outside employes at the mines and an increase of 15 cents a day for inside drivers. The miners of In diana. Ohio and Illinois, it is said, de manded an open powder market. The an thracite miners were also expected to pre sent their demands in the form of a res olution through the scale committee.

CLARKS0N He Has Made Mysterious Calls on Postmaster General Payne. Gen.Crozier's Confirmation Will Receive Unfavorable Report. Washington, Jan. 28. There are ru mors new and old that General Brls- tow, fourth assistant postmaster gen eral, will soon have to turn his office over to some new appointee. At this time his successor is said ,to be Gen. James S. Clarkson, who occupied that position during the Harrison adminis tration. General Clarkson called upon the postmaster general a few days ago, but would not divulge to outsiders the object of his visit. It is known that the postmaster general and General Clark- son have long been warm friends and served together for years on the na tional Republican committee. It is well known, too, that Mr. Bristow is not liked very well by some members of the congressional delegation, and is particularly obnoxious to Senator But ton. If an attempt is made to remove him he cannot count on the united sup port of the Kansas delegation. Aside fro.n politics, however, it must be said for Mr. Bristow that be is a faithful and indefatigable worker and has shown rare tact and judgment. He is exceptionally capable, and even some who do not like him acknowledge this fact, and believe that charges must be made and sustained in order to bring about bis removal. The announcement of Mr. Bailey's candidacy for governor has caused some whispered conferences among the Kansas delegation. How will it affect Curtis senatorial aspirations? is the first question asked. While Mr. Curtis is the only avowed candidate for the senate among the delegation, it is well known that Long, Calderhead and Bowersock are not dodging, and so they are interested in the shifting of polit ical pins in Kansas. Most of the mem bers are inclined to look upon M Bailey's candidacy in a favorable way. and some of them have expressed the hope that his aspirations will not open up the old Bailey-Curtis tight, btui, Mr. Curtis' friends know that, witli Troutman and Bailey both seeking the governorship and himself the senator- ship from the First district, someone must be defeated. It Is reported that the senate commit tee having in charge the nomination of General William Crozier as chief of ordnance have decided to make an ad verse report on his appointment. There has been a bitter fight on him, ostensi bly by those people who are engaged in the manufacture of ordnance, but in reality by those officers in the army over whom he was promoted, and it is said the committee- will order an ad verse report on the ground that no offi cer below the rank of colonel should be at the head of a bureau in the war de partment It ought not to take Presi dent Roosevelt long to make Captain Crozier a colonel and then reappoint bim chief of ordnance. The house passed seventy-eight in valid pension bills on Friday, most of them having been reported from the subcommittee of which Mr. Calderhead is chairman. The Kansas soldiers who were fortunate were Joseph R. Mar tin, through a 4ill introduced by Mr. Calderhead; and Gustav Schwartz (Neo- desha), through a bill introduced by Charles F. Scott- Last Thursday Mr. Curtis and Con gressman Hill, of Connecticut, led a fight in the house in favor of a defi ciency appropriation for rural route mail carriers, and they carried their point against Uncle Joe Cannon and Mr. Loud, chairman of the committee on postoffices and post roads. Mr. Curtis said it was an outrage that the gov ernment asked men to perform the du ties of these carriers and pay them barely enough for expenses. Everyone of them must feed a horse as well as himself and he ought to have just com pensation. Gen. Israel W. Stone (Lawrence), com mander of the department of the Po tomac G. A. R., announces that ir the business people of Washington do not at once take up the matter of providing funds for the expenses of the national encampment, which had decided to meet here about October, the encampment would be held in some other city. Gen. Stone attended the national encamp ment at Detroit last fall, and to him more than any other person is credit due for the selection of the capital of the nation for the forthcoming meeting, and naturally he feels very much em barrassed by the apparent apathy of the people here toward the matter, lie says: To meet tne expenses usually provided will cost tne city not less tnan $75,000, but that expenditure will be more than repaid. I have assurances from all over the country that an en campment here in 1902 would bring to the camtal hundreds or thousands or visitors. The veterans and their friends are all prosperous. Times are notori ously good. The crowds must spend millions of dollars in defraying their necessary expenses, and when the condi tions are so favorable they will un doubtedly spend millions more. But I am afraid the necessities of the situ ation are not at all understood in Washington. Unless something is done to meet the requirements I have indica ted, I shall soon go to Chicago and in form the national commander our peo ple here do not care for the encamp ment." The Indian appropriation bill is nearly framed and will be presented to the house on Tnursuay. 1 nis tact manes it impossible for Mr. Curtis, who is vice chairman of the committee on Indian af fairs, to attend theKansas day exercises. He greatlv regrets the necessity which de tains him. but he regards this as his duty. Congressmen Long. Soott and Bowersock will attend the Kansas day exercises. Senator W. A. Harris is the only ex-confederate that has evr represented a north ern state in the senate. Only three ex-confederates have represented northern states in the house of representatives. These were the late John R. Fellows of New York, Hon. W. A. Harris, now senator from Kansas, and Thomas L. Glenn, now rep resenting Idaho. The annual meeting of the board of trade was held -Wednesday night and about 460 guests were present, including Justice Brewer, Congressmen Long, Bow ersock and Scott and E. P. Hanna of Sa line of the navy department. Justice Brewer, after repeated calls for a speech, said: "I have learned this evening that you are all citizens of the District of Co lumbia: that you have no pecuniary inter ests in it; that no one of you has lots for sale; that you are not in business, and that merely as public spirited citizens you have gathered here members of the com mittee of appropriations and its chairman to induce large appropriations. I wish you every success. I will also take advantage of the occasion to urge that thesalaries of the supreme court justices be raised. As I see before me several iustices of the district supreme court and a number of senators, 1 would suggest tnat similar ac tion be taken in their cases." Washington Star: "Kansas capitalists are now talking of a combine of all the creameries of the country. When the milk ana Duller supply is cornered, Kansas will 100K on Its populistic champions merely as picturesque figures in ancient history. J. H.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. ri .rr Tart OS IVIlL'iT XtarWa a a sumed a dull routine aspect at the opening lotiay alter yesterday s activity, uaoies were rather firm all around and brought a slightly better tone in grains. May wheat opened unchanged to i-ao higher, at 77ti 7776c, but the recent big storm had brought copious rains and snows to the heretofore dry regions of Texas and traders sold 011 ine innuence, jiay slipped down to c. but recovering, fluctuated narrowly around 77I,4c. Local receipts were 43 cars, a little more than expected: Minneapolis and Du- luth reported 42y cars, making a total for tne three points ot 412 cars, against us cars last week and 321 cars a year ago. Weakness in the coarse grains and a dull market Drougnt May wneat down to 774c, but when the second day's flurry in oats was over, a fair reaction set in and May closed steady and unchanged, at 779ic. CORN May corn opened steady and a snaae to VbWAC mgner, at W):fe&oie. re ceipts were something over the estimate and cables were slightly lower, though firmer than expected. Country acceptances -however, were small and gave a firm tone to the market. Some small purchases and short coveings sent May to 61c, where it steadied. Receipts were iy cars. Another attempt, though weaker, to raid corn sent Jvia-y corn aown 10 os'&c, a drop of lic. Fair strength was shown later and May closed unchanged, at 61?i(fC61c OATS The opening of the oats pit saw no pressure from any direction. Specula tors were generally of the opinion that one attempt at squeezing this pit was enough for the time being. Offerings were few and snorts covered to a small extent. ro-vislon- speculators bought a little and May. which opened a shade higher, at 424c, ad vanced to 42!!sc.. Receipts were 131 cars. Later in the session oats took the lead again. Nearly everybody had them for sale and there was a speedy drop of 2c. to 40c. After May options were kicked around awhile there was a spurt back to 42c, and tne close was only easy, o down, at 4174'&42c. PROVISIONS Prices of provisions with the exception of pork, were slightly easier at the opening 'under the influence of a slow hog market.

Exercises Held In Senate Cham ber This Afternoon. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter's Address of Welcome. AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE What Women Hare Accom plished in Kansas. Many Bright Papers by the Club Women of the State. The senate chamber was filled this afternoon with bright representative women from all over Kansas. The occa sion was the Woman's Day exercises which have been looked forward to with the greatest of interest for several weeks. The exercises were under the auspices of the Topeka Federation, and Mrs. A. H. Thompson, the president, was in the chair. The meeting opened shortly after 1 o'clock with a piano solo by Mrs. Chas. Kleinhans, after which Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, of Topeka, delivered the address of welcome. Mrs. McCarter has a wide reputation as a writer and club woman, and in her address she voiced the sentiment of the women of Topeka, in her own gracious manner. Her speech was as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I stand today in the open doorway of our city to hold out to you a. welcoming hand and to give to you a word of greeting as you enter in. Over our lintels we have writ ten the word, "Welcome," because it is the symbol of what is in our hearts this afternoon. It is not often permitted to one in a lifetime to stand for the mo ment as the hostess of so great a city as this and to receive into it as guests so distinguished a group of people as the one I see before me, and I cannot help feeling a thrill of pride and pleastse that, at the hand of our worthy presid ing officer, this honor was bestowed up on me. In the name of the city of Topeka then and of its Federation of Women's clubs 1 welcome here the women who today stand for the great body of Kan sas womanhood in its varied activity and progress. I welcome you first because you are women; secondly, because of the things you represent, and thirdly, because of the thing that brought you here. In the great bond of common sister hood we need no symbols nor pass words nor grips nor 33d degrees for a woman ,to recognize a woman. We come at these things by that quick instinct which the giver of good and perfect gifts bestowed upon us when he forgot to make us calculating and far seeing and full of careful judgment. The heart of our federation goes out to you because you are women. Again, I welcome you for that your hands guide the great interests of our state. Through the organizations you represent Kansas is made a noble com monwealth. You stand for history. Some of you here are "builders of empire," old and gray.-haired pioneer women whose lives ran parallel with the tumultuous epoch making records of Kansas, who have seen the waste places become inhabited, the sand change to loam, the low shrubs to blossoming orchards, and the wild prairie grass to bursting sheaves of yel low wheat. However serene for you life's sunset may be, its morning was stormy and its noon was full of strife. Do we welcome you? Aye. reverently with bowed heads would we ask your blessing on u.s. Again you stand for the education of the state in its libraries and its press. Through its president we receive here those bright intelligent women who are, with printer's ink, the makers of public opinion, and through, the state librarian who among all the women of Kansas is without a peer in her broad-minded knowledge and gracious womanhood, do we greet that company who guard the interests and dispense the bounty of the estate of books. We welcome the chosen leader of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Along with the champions of equal suf frage has this union been a pioneer force for woman's progress. Against a storm of censure or w"lth the huzzas of the admiring crowd It has steadily, through evil and good report, forged on in its efforts to lift humanity above base appetites; that the fruits of the spirit might prevail over the works of the flesh. We welcome, and graciously would we welcome, the Woman's Relief Corps, whose avowed aim is charity. By all its efforts to relieve bodily pain, by 4ll its words of comfort, does it stand in the forefront of those institu tions where a woman's hand carries in it a benediction. In the name of common justice and wise and righteous government, we welcome the representatives of equal suffrage. The" time will come when sons will blush for their fathers' ig norance that ever such an organiza tion had need to exist, and among the wonders of the world will be the colos sal injustice and selfishness that for more than half a century barred women from a voice in that which ought never to have been a question of sex but of sense. Right tenderly would we give greet ing to her who comes in the name of the American Mothers' League. and the welfare of the home. It is through motherhood, the one touch of nature that makes us all akin, that we (come into our highest kingdom. "Madonnas hallow every hone. O'er every roof where babies are Shines high and clear a guiding star. And mother-hearts do always hear Divinest music ringing clear; And peace and love. good will on earth. Are born with every baby's birth." We-would receive as royal guests the women who in purpose stand above the home, and under the shadow of the stars and stripes feed the altar fires of patriotism Yours is the common cause that stirs within us the high love of loyalty and freedom, whether you come as the Daughters of the American Rev olution, whose grandsires fought for American liberty, or with the insignia of the Grand Army of the Republic, whose husbands and fathers held life less dear than their country's flag, and blood-stained hands more worthy than the dishonored folds of the red, white and blue trailed in the dust by rebels. And last of all, I would give a hearty greeting to the women of the Kansas Social Science Federation of Clubs. Within its borders history and educa tion, and temperance and charity and good government, and home and pa triotism all combine for the rounding out of the intelligent mind and brain and general character. And now in the cause that brought you here, you are a unit, and as one woman the women of our city voice to you a greeting. That which brings you within our gates is a common interest in the commercial welfare of our state. It is not a cheap and trivial motive. Whatever increases the wealth of Kan sas increases her influence also. In un derstanding and knowing the products of our own state we not only pay a tribute of respect to the commercial clubs who work for her material pros perity, but we decrease her pauperism, we multiply her resources for public development, bridge her rivers, pave her streets, improve her rural roads, endow her schools, equip her college?, increase her individual wealth, build up homes of contort, stimulate honest ambition, create avenues for crippled energy, uplift the tone of her civiliza tion, attract a more wholesome-immi-gration, and crown the brow of labor. From the shop, the store, the mill, thfe tanyard, the farm, the forge and the factory comes the song of cheer, and in the smile of prosperity the Kansas sunshine is sweet, and the Kansas cyclone is harmless. What brotherhood Is greater than this brotherhood of effort? I welcome you as women, "the power behind the throne," who In a thousand ways can foster the home industries of our state, and who should prefer everywhere those wares whose in print, "made in Kansas," stamps their worth upon them. However varied may be your lines of activity, we all unite to honor Kansas, and as we seek to uplift humanity in her borders we will not be blind to her great commercial welfare but will "give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates." To this end I welcome you here, and in the name of the city and of its fed eration of women I bid you now to come in and for the time possess the land for it is yours. Mrs. Sarah T. D. Robinson of Law rence, one of the oldest settlers in the state, sent "A Message from a Pioneer Woman," as she was unable to be pres ent herself, and her paper was read by the secretary. The "Woman's Relief Corps," was rep resented by Mrs. Jennie Walker of Goodland. Mrs. E.- P. Hutchinson of Hutchinson read a paper on "The Educational Work of the W. C. T. U." "The Ladles of the G. A. R." was pre sented by Mrs. Wall of Lawrence. Mrs. Emma L. Reed of Wichita read a paper on "The Daughters of the American Revolution." Mrs. Annie L. Diggs talked of the "Kansas Woman in Literature." Mrs. Lida H. Hardy followed with a paper on the subject, "What Are the Motherhood Organizations Accomplish ing?" The equal suffrage question under the title of "Fair Play" was presented by Miss Helen Kimber. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, president of the Kansas Woman's Press Association talked on "The Newspaper Woman and State Progress," and the programme was closed with a paper by Mrs. C. C. Goddard on "The State Federation of Clubs." The musical numbers were especially enjoyable; besides Mrs. Kleinhans' open ing number was a violin solo by Miss Ruth Collins and a selection by the Ladies' Quartette. The programme was of unusual in terest as it was not confined to any line of work but included the club wo man, the lodge woman and women from the professions. From four until six a reception will be held at the executive mansion to which all women are invited." POLICE JOTTINGS. There Seems Little Need For Peace Guardians Now. HE business of To peka's police court is still at low tide. One arrest per diem is still the rule. A small boy who stole a pair o f bewhiskered mittens from the store of A. Sam uels was arrested by Serg. Jenkins and was stricken with palpitation of the heart when he faced the court this morning. The court is soon to go out of office and is .inclined to be merciiul. He told the boy, whose name was Lloyd Leslie, that it was wrong to steal mittens, even though he needed them. Lloyd was moved to tears, nd promised to be good as pie in the fu ture. He was then told to take the goods back to Mr. Samuels, which he did. The severity of the weather was no doubt responsible for the extreme leniency of the court. Albert Williams, the negro who has been staying at the city prison during the cold snap, was sent to Kansas city this morning by commissioner waie. Williams was unable to work, and the city got tired of feeding him. It has been discovered that the for eigner. Anton Bajc. who was so badly frozen Sunday night before he was picked up by Officer Simpson, can speak the Hungarian language, ana a Hun garian citizen was sent for this moraine- to converse with him.. The phy sicians at the hospital have announced that Bajc s feet, wnicn were naaiy frozen, may be saved and an amputa tion averted. Bajc has truly seen some hard luck. With money in his pocket he was unable to ask to be directed to a hotel, and might as well have been lost In a wilderness. His only hope was to find a relative or someone who could speak his language, and he had not yet succeeded when night and the severe cold overtook him. He would have frozen to death had the policeman not found him when he did. The present run of business is no great inducement to Police Judge Ma- gaw, and he will proDaDiy wait until the first of the month before taking charge of affairs. He has made no ar rangement with Judge Lindsay for the transfer of authority. Crab Orchard Destroyed. St. Joseph." Mo., Jan. 28.

The war de partment is not disposed to take any action respecting Gen. Wheaton's ut terances, which were quoted in the sen ate yesterday. This is because the offi cials, after studying the Manila dispatch in which Gen. Wheaton was quoted are satisfied that the debate in the senate proceeded upon an entire misappre hension of what Gen. Wheaton was re ported to have said. It is found that Gen. Wheaton did not criticise the Uni ted States senate or its committees, and it is thought at the department that the misapprehension on that score arose from a general statement in the dis patch attributing such criticisms to other persons than Gen. Wheaton. BEETSGET A HEARING. Ways and Means Committee Listens to Argument. Washington, Jan. 28. The Cuban re ciprocity hearings were resumed today before the ways ana means committee, with delegations representing the beet sugar industry of Colorado and a num ber of Cubans, representing the planters of the island in attendance. F. M. Carey, of Colorado, spoke of the development of the beet sugar industry of Colorado and its bright prospects if not endangered by Cuban concessions, which he asserted would redound to the great advantage of the American Sugar Refining company. The present move ment he said, was only another chapter in the inevitable conflict between the domestic sugar producers of this coun try and the refining company, the latter seeking to crush the former. A bubble which had been pricked he said was that Cuba was suffering from starvation. This idea had been Indus triously encouraged by the pamphleteer ing of the sugar company and yet the claim had been torn to pieces during these hearings. Representative Hopkins, of Illinois, questioned the witness as to whether any concessions to Cuba would injure the beet sugar industry. Mr. Carey de clared that injury in such case was in evitable. Representative Hopkins said Mr. Car ey's assertion of injury to the beet su gar industry was only an assumption and he expressed the belief that a re duction could be made of a certain per centage without destroying the beet su gar industry. Representatives Dalzell and Grosvenor took part in the discussion stating that the injury to the domestic producers had been shown by this and other wit nesses. Mr. Grosvenor remarked that any one could see this result who could put two and two together. F. B. Machado, head of the delegation of Cuban planters, said in part: "The Piatt amendment attached as an appendage to bur constitution chained the Cubans to this country to that extent that we are powerless our selves to develop our international life because the pathways for dealing with outsiders is closed to us. Therefore Cuba must starve, if necessary, without even the right to ask for relief. It has been said here that the Cubans have the cheek to knock at your door for alms like beggars. The Cubans will be eternally grateful to you for giving us our liberty, even with the Piatt amend ment; but that does not mean we are eternally forbidden to come to you, and that your final word has been said in Cuba, As we have no personality, at whose doors shall we knock?" Mr. Machado spoke of Cuba as a mil itary defense of the Gulf; guns on Moro castle were more effective than at the mouth of the Mississippi river. So that if the international interests of the United States ever required the Ameri can eagle to clap her claws there, Mr. Machado asked if it was not a natural duty to lok to Cuba's welfare and not her ruin. The statements of the Cuban delega tion were in progress when the com mittee adjourned until 1:30 p. m. MORE THAN A COLD. That Alone Did Not Kill Mil lionaire Rice. New York, Jan. 28.

The kid neys might be diseased although of nor mal size and color. A neglected cold might cause pneumonia accompanied by congestion and a watery condition of the lungs. "Are those the conditions you found in the lung taken from Mr. Rice's body?" asked Mr. Moore. "To a degree, yes." On redirect examination the witness said there were certain conditions in the lobe of the left lung that could not have resulted from a neglected cold. WANTED SITUATION.

BKEWEKS HEARD. i Crl?mBaking Powder The difference of cost between a good and a poor baking powder would not amount for a family's supply to one dol lar a year. The poor powder would cause doctors' bills many times this. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the most economical in the end, because it goes further in leavening and insures perfect, wholesome food. Used always in making the biscuit and cake it saves both health and money. Made from pure, grape cream of tartar, most healthful of fruit acids. Prick Baking Powder Co., Chicago. Note. You cannot, if you value good health, afford to use cheap, low-grade baking powders. They are mostly, in spite of the pure food laws, made from alum, which endangers the health. All physicians will tell you that such pow- krs ia food are injurious. TO ACQUIT HINSEY. Unanimous Action of Inter-Domain Knights of Pythias. Chicago, Jan. 28. After twenty-three Bessions a committee of five past chan celors of Inter-domain lodge. Knights of Pythias, has unanimously voted to acquit John A. Hinsey of the charges brought against him. Mr. Hinsey is the former head of the Insurance department of the Knights of Pythias. Charges of mismangement and misappropriation of the depart ment's funds were made against him at the meeting of the supreme lodge in Chicago last July. A few weeks ago he was tried on criminal charges brought against him before Judge Dunne and acquitted. The trial in the order, however, was of a different cha-racter. Kor twelve years Hinsey was the head of the en dowment rank, and resigned a year ago. The supreme lodge In session at the Lexington hotel last July announced that a shortage of J5OO.0OO had been found: that the loss had endangered the existence of the department of which he was head, and 63 charges, in cluding embezzlement, submitting false reports and misconduct and misman agement of the insurance department, were made. Five past chancellors of Interdomain lodge, McCormick, Wright, Davis. Phil lips and Gedding. were appointed to try Hinsey, and they beganfcthe hearing ot evidence last September. At the twenty-third session just concluded the verdict of acquittal was rendered. The evidence which the defense pro duced was to the effect that $500,000 had been loaned on good security and since paid back to the treasury. In an other paragraph Hinsey was charged with appropriating to his own use $1,736 while he was secretary of a Milwaukee lodge in 1S93, and this charge also was disproved. Young Illustrator Dead.

President Francis of the exposition company left the city last night for Frankfort. Ky., where he will join the World s fair delegation, which started Sunday night, to appear before the leg islature of that state. President Fran cis intends to make a personal appeal for a large appropriation to defray an adequate exhibit from his native state. Other speakers will address the assem bly in support of the bill which has al ready been presented. After his work has been completed in Frankfort, President Francis will go to Columbus, Ohio, where he will join the St. Louis delegation, which will arrive in that city Wednesday morning for the purpose of presenting the exposition's request for an appropriation. Presi dent Francis will make an address be' fore the Ohio assembly. DIDN'T COLLECT A CENT. McKinley Memorial Fund Not Popu lar in the South. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.

BANK ROBBERS HANGED They Had Killed the Cashier of a Bank They Looted. Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 28. Weston M. Keiper and Henry Rowe were hanged at 10:40 o'clock today in the Harrisburg jail yard in the presence of 1,000 persons for the murder of Charles W. Ryan. The murderers went to their death without a shudder and neither made any statement on the gallows. The crush came for ad mission to the jail was so great that it re quired the combined efforts of the police force and the sheriff's department to keep the crowd away from the entrance. Sev eral of the jurors were forced to fight their way through the crowd into the prison. The housetops and telegraph poles in the vicinity were crowded with people eager to witness the execution. Two men with a camera secured admittance to the jail for the purpose of securing a snapshot of the hanging, but the warden detected them and took the camera away from them un til after the execution.

GRAPENDTS For Breakfast Lunch or Dinner They Think They Pay Mors Than Their Share of Taxes. Washington, Jan. 28. At the afternoon session of the ways and means committee the beer people were represented by offi cials of their organization, including N. W. Kendall of New Haven, Conn., president of the United States Brewers' association; George J. Abermann, Baltimore, chair man of the committee on federal relations of that association; Rudolph Brand, Chi cago, former president, and Robert Crain, Baltimore, of the board of trustees. Many members of the house attended the hear ing. President Kendall said assurances had been given when the war taxes were im posed that they were for war purposes and would terminate with the war. There was no trust in the brewing trade, he declared, and if large fortunes had been made in the business it was before the Spanish war. He referred to "three men engaged in the Iron industry reaping an annual profit of GO million dollars from their business." The breweries had paid to the govern, ment in 19u0 $73,550,754, and their profits either had been wiped out entirely or re duced to a pittance. Chairman Payne, in reference to Mr. KemlaU's appeal that congress keep the promise of repeal heretofore made, said that congress and the committee had kept ahead of their promises. The trouble had been that the requirements of the government had largely increased. The re ductions of war taxes last year had gone as far as the government conditions seemed to justifv. Now, the committee would further consider what additional re ductions were justified. Mr. Abermann suoke of the numerous failures in the brewing world. The in dustry was thoroughly American, with American labor at high wages, but he de clared it was not treated like other Amer ican industries. Mr. Brand referred to the enormous sur plus glutting the treasury tnd said this should impel an immediate performance of the promises heretofore made that the war tax should be repealed. Mr. Crane said the present tax was par ticularly enormous on small breweries and that its continuance would" bring about a large number of failures. A local delegation representing the Na tional Retail Malt Liquor association urged the repeal of the beer tax from the standpoint of the retailers. This closed the hearing on the beer tax.

Lord Kitchener Has Been About as Busy as Usual. London, Jan. 28. A long dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Johannes burg, Monday, January 27, gives details of the military operations since January 21. They are mostly unimportant but indicative of continued activity on the part of the Boers. General Methuen's yeomanry got in trouble near Rietolel, western Transvaal and lost eight men killed, five wounded and 41 made pris oners. The latter have since been re leased. This was offset by Gen. Bruce Hamilton's pursuit of the Boers in the vicinity of Ermelo, Transvaal colony re sulting in the dispersal of a Boer Laager at Nelspan. The Boer losses were two men killed, four wounded and 94 made prisoners, including Field Cor net De Villiers, Captain De Jager and Lowate De Jager, a former member of the First volksraad. In addition Col. Plumer captured 55 Boers. Lord Kitchener reports that Field Cornet Boles' command quarreled while discussing the question of surrender. Boles and three of his followers surren dered. The other encounters have already been reported. The week's Boer losses were 31 men killed, 20 wounded, 322 made prisoners and 53 men who surrendered. ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES Democrats Will Oppose Philippine Tariff measure. Washington, Jan. 28. Senator Car mack has submitted a minority report from the committee on Philippines on the Philippine tariff bill. It says that opposition to the measure is not based on any mere question of revenue or any theory concerning forms and principles of taxation, but because the bill violates constitutional rights and transcends the limits of constitutional power. The ob jection of the minority is to the whole policy of colonial empire, to the control by this government of vassal provinces, to the spirit of military aggression and of war for the sake of spoils. The re port says that the bill reported by the majority of the committee is a charac teristic manifestation o such a policy and spirit. RICE'S DEATH. Doctor Bays It Was Due to Conges tion of the Lungs. New York. Jan. 28. The second day of the trial of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, ac cused of the murder of William Marsh Rice, brought it up to the point where the cause of the death of the millionaire is sought to be determined. The first witness along this line of inquiry introduced by the prosecution was Ir. Hamilton Wil liams, one of the physicians attached to the coroner's staff who attended the autopsy. The gist of his evidence was that the lungs were congested and that this was due to the inhalation of some gaseous irritant and that chloroform would pro duce such a condition of the lungs. He later said pneumonia could produce the same condition. Roosevelt Attends a Meeting. Washington, Jan.28.

I THE CHILDREN ENJOY Ivife out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give tnem medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but' also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of tne little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG 5YR.UP CO. is printed on the front of every pack age. In order to get its beneficial effects it is al ways necessary to buy the genuine only. .T.-' r' v-CX NEW LIGHT PLANT. Emporia Peels That They Have Out grown the Old System. Emporia, Kas., Jan. 28.
