DENIES A REPORT. 1 Says He Never Wrote to Dewey in His Life. When Last Seen the Prince Was Standing on the Bridge. Bremerhaven, Feb. 15. Prince Henry sailed for New'York at 3:43 p. m. Previous to sailing Prince Henry In conversation with a correspondent, of the Associated Press referred to the re port that he had written a letter to Ad miral Dewey, apologizing for the con duct of the German squadron in Manila bay during the war with Spain: "It is all intrue," said the prince. "I have never written to Admiral Dewey in my life" The last seen cf the prince from the Fhore here was when he stood on the bridge of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm in an lidmiral's uniform and lifted his cap in response to the cheers of the assembled crowds. Commander Wm. H. Beehjer, V. S. N, the naval attache at Berlin, bid the prince good bye for the United States embassy. Senator Tichisehky, Prussian minister to the Hanseatio cities, bid farewell to the prince for Emperor William, who al so sent his brother a telegram previous to the departure of the steamer. The Kron Prinz "Wilhelm passed the Hohenweg light house at 5:25 p. m. Fair weather prevailed and the sea. was calm. KIEL'S FAREWELL. Kiel, Feb. 15. What looked like half of Kiel's population assembled at the railroad station to bid farewell toPrince Henry at 8 o'clock this morning. Also at the station were Admirals von Arnim and von Koester and fourteen other naval officers of high rank and a large guard of marines. On the platform of the station, the prince kissed the prin cess, his wife, and stood uncovered at the head of the rearteps of the car. In spite of the sharp, wintry air, until the train was -out of the station. THE RAILROAD JOURNEY. Bremerhaven, Feb.' lli. At Hamburg Senator Tichirsehky joined the party of Prince Henry, and at Bremen, where the train arrived at 1:40 p. m., Admiral Von Tirpitz. secretary of the admiralty. Adjutant General Von Plessen and other high officials from Berlin were added to the prince's suite. They lunched leisurely in the royal waiting room of the Bremen station, and then entered the train which at 2 p. m. pteamed slowly toward Bremerhaven. The inhabitants of every village along the route turned out, gathered along the railroad track, and gave the prince a great ovation. Bremerhaven, usually a dreary place, was bright with color in the prince's honor. All the shipping in the river flew American and German flags, and the wharves were black with cheering crowds as the Kron Prinz Wil helm drew out into the stream with her band playing "The Star Spangled iianner." AN ORAL APOLOGY. True Story of Relations Between Dewey and the Prince. Washington, Feb. 15. The Associated Press today received from authentic sources a statement regarding the re port that Prince Henry had written a letter of apology to Admiral, Dewey. The information which follows was not received from Admiral Dewey himself but from an intimate friend of his and can be absolutely vouched for. The admiral has recently received a letter from a member of the United States embassy at Berlin in which the writer gave a resume of a conversation lie had had with Prince Henry of Prus sia, at the dinner given the latter by Ambassador White prior to the prince's departure for America. In this conversation the prince, refer ring to his having hoped to return from the east via San Francisco after his Fervice in the China squadron, but hav ing been obliged to hasten home via Suez on account of his mother's illness In his usual candid manner and agree ing with a remark that the present was a much more opportune time for his visit, said: "I know you Americans feel very sore about affairs In the east and I do not blame you. I myself made a mistake, which I see is now being exploited by the English press to create prejudice. When at Hong Kong, at a dinner on the Deutschland (the prince's flagship in the east) Commodore Dewey was present and was senior officer; there were two Russians and some English and officers of other nationalitieswhichicannot now recall, when I proposed the health of first the czar of Russia and then others and last of all that of the president of the United States. Dewey was offended, as I learned the next day and 1 re alized 1 had made a great mistake. I Immediately went on board and saw Dewey who accepted my apology most graciously." The prince added that he was well aware that mistakes had been made on their part, but that his relations with Admiral Dewey had always been of the most agreeable and pleasant character. He sent his highest regards to the ad miral and expressed his sincere hope of seeing him during his visit to America. TIME TO GET AWAY Is All That iss Stone's Cap tors Now Ask. Washington, Feb. 15 The state ce partment has received cable advices confirming the report that the ransom mcney for Miss Stone has boen paid to the brigand captors. It is not known -when her release will occur, but it is understood the brigands have made a condition that they shall have perio-i of a week or ten days in winch to mak? sure their safe retreat before the pris oner is delivered up. SATURDAY EVENING. CALL IS ISSUED. Mr. Albangh Announces Details For Republican Conrention.

Total Number of Delegates Will Be 1,031. ORDER OF DOMINATIONS Two Year Term Justice Will Be the First. Wyandotte Has 40 Delegates and Shawnee 39. The formal call for the Republican state convention was issued today by Chairman Morton Albaugh and Secre tary T. T. Kelly, of the state central committee. It makes a total of 1,031 delegates, one less than the politicians have been figuring on heretofore. It will take 516 to nominate. As usual the justices of the supreme court will be nominated first, but there will be five to be nominated Instead of only one. Three will be for six year terms, one for a four yea term and one for two years. The problem now to be settled' is. how shall it be determined which ones shall be nominated for the short terms? It is generally believed that the four members wno were appointed by Gov ernor Stanley, Justices Greene, pollock, Cunningham and Eliis, will be renomi nated, but this is by no means certain. The rifth place to be filled will be to succeed Chief Justice Doster.a six year term. Now the question is, how shall it be determined which nominees shall take the short terms? The latest suggestion is that all the candidates be considered at once, five to be chosen, and the three receiving the greatest number of votes be nominated for the long terms, the next highest for the four year term and the next for the two year term. But this plan won't work. Only six candidates will probably be in the race. Four will have no oppo sition and will probably all receive the same vote, so it would not decide who would have to accept the four year term. Then again Harry Mason and R. U. Welch, who are running against each other, are candidates to succeed Doster, and this plan would make one of them the one who is successful the lots" man cf the five and consequently the two year nominee, whereas they are running for a six year term. Then again if Mr. Welch should be de feated in the Shawnee county primal les he would not go into the state con voli tion and there would be only five can didates, each of whom would receive the same vote, if all were voted for at once.- 1 In the call the two-year term la placed first, the four-year term second and the six-year term follows, and this will probably be the order in which nominations will be called for. Of course the friends of each man will want their particular candidate to get a six-year term, and each will prob ably wait for some one else to walk off with the shorter terms. When the two year term nominations are called tor it would not be. surprising if th:ro should be a profound silence in the eagerness of each candidate to avoid the two-year term. In the apportionment of delegates Wyandotte county leads off with 40, and it comes the last county on the roll call. Shawnee is a close second in point of numbers with 39. and it too is well down on the roll calL Leaven worth comes third in numbers with 31, the 10 extra delegates allowed for the soldiers' home swelling the Leaven worth delegation. Sedgwick has 27, Crawford 24. Cherokee 23, and Reno 20. Crawford and Cherokee come weii up towards the top of the roll call, and will make George Cole's vote for gov ernor mount up rapidly right in I he start. The formal call and the apportion ment is as follows: 'There will be a delegate convention of the Republicans of Kansas, held in the city of Wichita on Wednesday, the 2Sth day of May, 190, at the hour of 9 o'clock a. m.. for the purpose of nom inating:: "One justice of the supreme court for a term of two years. "One justice of the supreme court for a term of four years. "Three justices of the supreme court for a term of six years. "Congressman-at-large. "Governor. "Ijeutenant governor. "Secretary of state. "Treasurer. "Auditor. "Attorney general. "Superintendent of public instruction. "Insurance commissioner. "The election of a state central com mittee. "The delegates shall be elected in such manner and at such time and under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the county central com mittees of the respective counties. The basis of apportionment shall be one delegate at large for each county and one delegate for each two hundred votes or major fraction thereof, cast for George A. Clark for secretary of state at the November election in 1900, provided, that no county shall have less than two delegates, including a delegate at large, and that ten additional dele- gates be accorded Leavenworth county, by reason of the vote at the Soldiers' Home, under -which apportionment the several counties will-be entitled to rep- resentation at the state convention as follows: I Counties Counties.

Nobody Willing to Tell What It Was About. Washington, Feb. 15. A very impor tant conference was held in the cabinet room of the White House today. At the president's request he was joined there shortly after 10 o'clock by Sen ators Allison, 'Aldrich and Spooner, Speaker Henderson and Representa tives Cannon and Grosvenor, and the conference lasted until a few minutes after noon. It is something of a coin cidence that those at the conference to day, were, with the exception of the president and Senator Spooner, the same men who took part in the famous conference a few weeks prior to the Spanish war which resulted in the defi nite conclusion that congress should ap propriate $.-,0,000,000 to be placed at the disposal of the president to prepare for war. Not since that momentous occa sion until today have the same men been formally summoned for a confer ence at the White House. Previous to the conference the presi dent ate breakfast, at the White House with Attorney General Knox, Postmas ter General. Payne and Senator Hanria. When the conference broke up those who participated in it were extremely and unusually reticent. The fact that the senators are members of the steer ing committee of the senate and Speak er Henderson and his two lieutenants present today practically control legis lation in the house, gave rise to the be lief that the consultation referred to the legislative programme in congre.Js, and might have a bearing upon th shaping of Cuban, Philippine and war revenue repeal legislation. There also was an intimation that the president talked with, his party leaders in con gress about the Schley case, and color was given to this surmise by a remark dropped by one of the senators. Iiut nothing definite as to the purpose or. result of the consultation could be ob tained. Astor's Racing Colors. London. 'Feb. 15. Wm.

Snow From Three to 1 5 Inches Deep in the Cotton Belt. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15. A severe storm raged at "Vieksburg last evening, and today is central near Jacksonville, Fli.

A Message From Oom Paul to President RooseTelt Is Being Borne Across the Ocean by Dr. Mueller. HE MAKES m APPEAL But Expresses Regret That He Can't Come Over. Mueller's Mission Is to Stop Horse Sales to British. Brussels, Feb. 15. It is salil that the desire to keep secret the departure of Dr. Mueller, the former consul of the Orange Free State in Holland for the United States was so keen that the Boer emissary booked his passage under an assumed name. According to information from re sponsible Boer quarters Mr. Kruger's letter to President Roosevelt of which Dr. Mueller is the bearer, does not ap peal for intervention, but expresses re gret that he is usable at present to per sonally congratulate President Roose velt on his accession to office and con eludes with a gratified allusion to the numerous invitations to visit the great republic which have arrived and are still arriving. Besides reorganizing the Boer propa ganda, in the United States, Dr. Mueller will direct his efforts principally to ob taining government prohibition of the exportation cf articles regarded by the ''oers as contraband of war thus indi rectly eliciting an opinion on the war from the United States government Dr. Mueller is supported by wealthy Boer sympathizers in Europe and has great hopes regarding the result of his mission. WILL ELECT CHAIRMAN. Republicans Hare New Method of Selecting Leader. The chairman of the Shawnee coun ty Republican central committee will be chosen at the primaries to b?. held March 8 by a vote of the people. Here tofore the committee has chosen its own chairman, but the new rules adopt ed by the committee October 26 provide lor the new way. The new arrangement comes as a surprise to a majority of the members of the committee. While the rule is piinted, with the others, the commit teemen knew little or nothing abo'it it. The rule was adopted at a meeting when about a dozen committeemen were present. George W. Crane was a member of the committee on rules which recommended the passage of the rew standing rule. That the Republi can voters of the county announce their cl.oice for chairman is provided in Rule 1. which is as follows: Shawnee county Republican central committee shall be composed of one n. ember from each voting precinct in the county, and an additional member from each precinct for each 150 Re publican votes cast at the preceding election for secretary of state. Also one member for the county at larg, who si'fall be ex officio chairman cf the com mittee. The meetings of the committee shall be governed by the rules of the Inst house of representatives.'' Mr. Crane has been a candidate for chairman of -the committee at the last two meetings when the committee was reorganized. It is claimed by several members of the committee that Lhe r'lle to have the chairman elected at the pri maries is a political move on the part of Crane to secure the chairmanship of the committee, though it is difficult to understand why it is not as fair for any one else as for Air. Crane. He is out of town today, but it is under stood that he will be a candidate for chairman, Capt. H. M. Philips, a mem ber of the committee, this morning an nounced himself as a candidate for cnn mitteeman at large from the coun ty, wThich means that he is after" '.be chairmanship. So far no other candi dates have announced themselves. One Got Out in Time. Ironton. O., Feb. 15. Wm..

Black Dick and Dide rot appear to hold the balance of the field safe. Because of hlfl grand work, Ms good consistent racing in the east and his courage, Nones will probably make the Ryan entry consisting of him self and Obia, favorite.

POOLROOMS HIT HARD. Hot Springs Bookies Suffer and Some Close Their Doors. Hot Springs, Ark.. Feb. 13. A dozen turf plungers who have been making ria.ilv raids on Shannon's and O'Leary'a poolrooms made a grand coup wl en they took more than $75,000 out of the bookies on tnree races at .tver vneaii.

Airship Buined and Motor at Bottom of Sea. Monaco, Feb. 15. Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, met with a disaster here and had a narrow escape from death. His airship is a tattered wreck, while his motor lies at the bottom of the Bay ot Monaco. The morning broke gloriously, but as there was considerable wind Santos Dumont decided not to attempt nights. Toward 2 o'clock in the afternoon, how ever, the wind dropped and the weather appeared to be perfect. Santos-Dumont announced that he would make a trip. A big crowd assembled at the en trance of the aerodrome, and as the large doors of the building rolled back the airship emerged at 20 minutes of 3. A number of steam yachts and launches. Including the Prince of Mo naco's yacht.

The areo naut. however, kept on his flight, and pointing his ship to the left continued to ascend until the long guide rope was quite 20 feet out of the water. In turning the balloon the guide rope caught in the screw, and this with tne erratic working.of the airship created a situation of great danger. At the same time a squall burst from Tete J)e unieu and Santos-Dumont tilted the head of his balloon upward in order to diseir gage the guide rope. But in doing so the ballast shifted and the oil used to run the motor began to spread. Fear ing an explosion, the inventor puiled the emergency cord. This ripped tne envelope of the balloon, whicji at once began rapidly to descend. Sant.is Dumont did not lose his head. He could easily be seen from the shor; watching the various parts of the air ship. At this time the balloon nad slightly righted itself, and the lower part having become empty the airship dropped slantingly toward the pigeon snooting ground which borders the bay. In the meanwhile the steam launches in the bay were making toward the spot where it was RiiDnosed the balloon would fall. The first to approach was the Princess Alice, belonging to the Prince of juonaco. ana tnose on ooara seized tm; balloon's guide rope, which somehow had become disentangled. At the moment this was done a sharp cracking sound, made oy tne motor, coula be near d ana tne screw was seen to revolve. The balloon, which was then almost in the sea. rose slowly for a few moments. But the motor stopped again and the air ship descended a second time until Santos-Dumont was immersed up to his armpits in the water. This scene was witnessed with intense ex citement by the onlookers ashore and afloat. The aeronaut, with the pluck which has characterized him throughout his dangerous experiments, could be seen standing up in his car gesticulating and shouting directions to those on the launch, which was towing him toward the Princess Alice. At five minutes of three o'clock the end of the balloon burst n,nd the Prince of Monaco, who was on board the launch, then gave orders to rescue Santcs-Dumont from his perilous position. The launch came alongside the half de flated balloon or the air snip wmcn threat ened at any moment to smother Santos Dumont. The latter was half pulled and half clambered over the gunwale into the boat. The Prince of Monaco took him by the hand and urged him to allow himself to be taken on board the yacht to dry him self and change his clothes. But tbt aeronaut energetically refused to do this until the remnants or his airship had been saved. With the sea water dripping from his clothes and lookine: like a water rat. the inventor stood in the bows of the launch shouting directions for the salvage of his air ship, it was impossible to save more than the silk envelope. The motor had to be left to its fate and it sank. The launch, with the inventor, then made for the shore. As Santos-Dumont landed the great as semblaee which had gathered on the shir a eclaimed him with extreme enthusiasm. His first words of a hurried interview as he made his way toward his residence were: "I am not discouraged. My trip to Cape Mart in is only postponed. I will start again as soon as i can-get reaav This areident was due to the entangle mer.t of the guide rope with the screw and wires of the balloon. The balloon was not fully inflated when I started.

A Grand Rapids gentleman who repre sents a prominent manufacturing concern and travels through central and southern Michigan, relates the following regarding the new catarrh cure. He says: "After suffering from catarrh of the head, throat and stomach for several years I beard of fotuart s Catarrh 1 ab lets quite accidently. like everything else. I immediately bought a package and was decidedly surprised at the immediate relief it afforded me and still more to find a complete cure after several weeks use. "I have a little son who sings in a boys' choir in one of our prominent churches, and he is greatly troubled with hoarseness and throat weakness, and on my return home from a trip I gave him a few tab lets one Sunday morning when he had complained of hoarseness. He was de lighted with the effect, removing ay husk iness in a few minutes and making the voice clear and strong;. "As the tablets are very pleasant to the taste. I had no difficulty in persuading him to use them regularly. "Our family physician told lis thev were an antiseptic preparation of undoubted merit and that he himself had no hesita tion in using and recommending Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for any form of catarrh. "I have since met many public speak ers and professional singers who used them constantly. A prominent Detroit lawyer told me that Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets kept his throat in fine shape durins the most trying weather and that he had long since discarded the use of cheap lozenges and troches on the advice of his physician that they contained so much tolu. potash and. opium as to render their use a danger to health." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleas ant tasting lozenges composed of catarrhal antiseptics, like Red Gum, Blood Root, etc., and sold by druggists everywhere at 50c for full treatment. They act upon the blood and mucous membrane and their composition and re markable success has won the approval of physicians as well as thousands of sufferers from nasal catarrh, throat trou bles and catarrh of the stomach.

The Indications today are that it will be a long time be fore the street" car strike te settled. The conference between the leaders of the strikers and the officials of the com pany came to anything but a satisfac tory end. N The strikers agreed to waive all of their most important demands and agreed to settle the difficulties now ex isting if the company would reinstate the former employes, including Sullivan, Cookson and Easton, and would grant the men a dinner hour. -The officials said that nothing could induce them to reinstate Sullivan, Easton and Cookson, whom they declared were discharged for Just reasons, and could not be taken back under any consideration. This ended the conference and the strikers declared that they would con tinue the fight with renewed vigor. The officials intimated that they were willing to allow the other men to re sume work and allow them time in which to eat their dinner, but said they would never consent to give Sullivan, Cookscn and Easton employment again. The demands of the men syice the strike was started are as fellows: Set tlement of the wage question; abolish ment of the 50 cents monthly insurance fee; arbitration clause in the rules gov erning employes; a nine hour shift; a 12 months' contract; reinstatement of all striking men and a dinner hour.

But since ca tarrh is able to fasten itself within the different organs of the body, so it la that Peruna cures affections of these organs. But we insist that Peruna cures one disease only. We claim that Peruna is the only internal, scientific remedy for catarrh yet devised. We claim that catarrh is a systemic disease; that is to say, it invades the whole system. We claim that Peruna is a systemic reme dy; that is to say, it eradicates catarrh from the system. Catarrh is not a local disease: Peruna Is not a local remedy. Since Catarrh invades the system, only a systemic remedy can reach it. This is, in brief, our claim in assigning to the disease catarrh our remedy, Peruna. Men of prominence ail over the United States are recommending Peruna. Over forty members of Congress have written their endorsement ot it. Scores of other government officials speak in high praise of it. There is no medicine that can take its place. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for free catarrh book.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATTJKD AT EVENING. FEBRUARY 15, 192. RAILROADNEWS.' General Manager kludge Dis cusses Koswell Extension. Does Not Think the Line Will Be Bnilt Xow. IT 1IAS POSSIBILITIES. Would Beat Bock Island to El Paso by 32 Miles. Surreys For the Extension Have All Been Made. General Manager II. IT:. Mudge does not think it likely that the Santa Fe is planning to build the 150 miles of line between Roswell. N. M.,' and Kl Paso, which was mentioned In Friday's State Journal. I do not believe," says Mr. Mudge, that Avery Turner made the statement attributed to him concerning the prob .1.1. ovronui.n r thp Pecos Vallev line. It looks to me like the work of some Map of proposed Roswell extension, showing New Bock Island line, the Santa Fe line to El Paso via Albuquerque, and the possible short cut which the .Santa Fe could make to El Paso via the Pecos Valley line. Imaginative newspaper correspondent. 'Probably some time the extension will be built, but I do not believe that anything is to be done Just now. Sur veys of the territory between Koswell and Kl Paso were made by the Pecos Valley people before the Santa Fe bought the line, and it was the original Intention that the road should be ex tended through to Kl Paso. These sur veys of course 'came into the possesion of the Santa Fe, and the possibility of extending the line has not been lost sight o?. "1 do not believe that for the present the amount of business at El Paso Jus tifies the construction of another line there, though of course the way is open whenever it seems advisable to build." The statement concerning the pro posed extension, as reported Friday in a dispatch from Kl Paso, was as fol lows:. "The vice president and general man ager of the Pecos Valley railroad has semi-officially announced that the San ta Fe. owner of the Pecos Valley road; will construct a line from Roswell, N. M.. to El Paso, 150 miies, to compete with the newly completed Rock Island route, which made a cut of 222 miles over all lines now touching here." Avery Turner is the general manager of the Pecos Valley, and it is probable that the dispatch refers to him as the authority for the statement. The report of the extension aroused great interest in both. Santa Fe and Rock Island circles. The Rock Island is interested because it has just completed its "El Paso line and now has the shortest line from Kansas City to Kl Paso bv over 200 miles. If the Santa Fe should construct the El Paso extension from Roswell, it would beat the Rock Island Into El Paso by 33 miles. s The total length of the Rock Island line from Kansas City to El Paso is now 947.5 miles. If the Santa Fe should build Its Roswell extension it would cover th" distance over the Emporia cutoff and the Caldwell branch, in a total of 913.5 miles. The proposed extension has great possibilities. It must be remembered, however, that the Pecos Valley line is not the same fort of a road that the main line of the panta Fe is. It has not been worked as much, and is not, in railroad terms. well established." It is not capable cf sustaining so much travel. or such heavy travel as is sent over the Santa Fe main lines. It would involve a large outlay for betterment of the Pecos Valley line If the Santa Fe were to send its El Pas.i business via the Pecos Valley and the proposed Roswell extension. If nothing else, the humor of the de cision to build the extension serves to menace the Rock Island's present claims to supremacy in the handling of EI Paso traffic from Chicago and the east. Considerable confidence is expressed in the truth of the report that Santa Fe officials have just completed the inspec tion of the Rio Grande and Sierra Ma dre from E! Paso to Xeuva Casas Grandes In New Mexico, and a deal is pending for its purc hase. The impression seems to be among railroad authorities that the Rock Isl and will make the alliance with the Mexican Central and this adds color to the rumor that the Santa Fe is in the field to buy the Casas Grandes line, which if extended from its present ter minus, to Consepciou, and thence over the Sierra Madres to the harbor of To polobampo. would give an equally ef ficacious outlet to the Pacific ccast and the Orient, besides taking the Santa Fe Into the great corn belt of Mexico, and Into the coal fields and richly mineral ized country known fo be waiting a rail road or railroads, beyond the Sierra 11a 1re mountains. There is a prophecy from the east that the movement of the Casas Grandes road will take place ithin the coming fortnight. HOW THE CRASH CAME. Story of a Head End Collision Told by the Men in the Cabs. iFrom San Francisco Chronicle. "It was all my fault. I simply forgot my orders. I alone am to blame." This was the statement of Engineer J. W Coffey, who was at the throttle of the ngin? of train 9 that, early in the xuorning of December 19, crashed head on into train-10 af Uplands siding and crushed out the lives of five of the men who were in the cars behind him. Conductor ."Wallace of train 10, that was south bound, was the -first witness called. He told of receiving orders to meet train 9 at the siding at Uplands, and his train was slowing up for the switch when the crash came. The en gineer of his train, A. Konold, followed him as a witness. I saw the headlight of the engine of train 9. which I was to meet at Up lands when it was two miles down the track and coming toward me," said Konold. "I was then approaching the switch, and it was my plate to take the siding. I was slowing down my train for the switch when I noticed that the approaching train had run past the far end of the siding and was coming tearing along at full speed. I called to my fireman to look out, and I told him that I believed No. 9 was coming past the siding and would come into us. I put on the emergency brakes and slowed down the speed of my train to about fifteen miles an hour, when I jumped. The other train was only a short distance away by that time. When I jumped I noticed that sparks of fire were flashing from nearly every wheel of the approaching train, show ing that itsjDrakes were on hard." M. J. Williams, the conductor of the train whose engineer had forgotten his orders, told of receiving orders at Sun .Ardo to meet train 10 at UDlands. and of reading and delivering the orders to the engineer. I was sitting in the smoking car when the train rattled past the south end of the siding where we were to meet the train. I rushed out on the platform and looked ahead. I could see nothing of the train we were to meet, and I realized that the engineer had forgotten his orders. By that time we were more than half way past the siding. As quickly as I could 1 caught the bell cord and gave the sig nal to the engineer to stop. Then I rushed inside the car and applied the air brakes by the emergency valve that was in that car. I did not expect a col lision, ajid was standing in the. aisle of ti e car when the crash came, a moment later." "The engine was in good order," said Engineer Coffey 'when he was called to the stand. "There was nothing about it that called for any unusual attention. I pulled out of San Ardo on time after the conductor had read and given me copies of the order to meet No. 10 at Uplands, about five miles up the track. Soon after we pulled out I compared watches with my fireman. It was then one minute past one. I went about my usual duties about the cab of the engine but I neglected to keep a proper look out ahead, and I did not think of the orders I had received until it was too late. I shut off the steam, put on the brakes Just as .the signal came from the conductor. Then I jumped. It was all my fault. I forgot my orders and did not pay any attention to the speed we were running or what was ahead of the train on- the track; The siding is well marked, and there Is no excuse for my not seeing it. I havenocomplaint to make of anybody or anything. I alone am to blame." C. F. Dameron, who was the fireman with the engineer who fofgot, said he did not know of the orders to meet train No. 10 at Uplands until after the wreck. "The engineer did not read the or ders to me, nor did he speak of them. I was busy with the fire after we left San Ardo and knew nothing of the danger until warned by the engineer. I looked ahead from the left side of the engine when he called, and saw the headlight of the engine of No. 10 close to us. and we were going at almost full speed toward it. In my hurry from my seat I stumbled- and fell against the reversing lever. As I did so I noticed that the emergency brake was not on to its full capacity. I shoved it over to the last notch and a moment more I was off the engine. The other train was then only two car lengths ahead of us." OFF FOR SATT FRANCISCO. Lantry Train Has Left For the West to Fill China Basin. The Lantry train, composed of 30 cars and five dead engines, left Strong City. Kan., yesterday for San Francisco. Cal.. where work will be commenced at once on the filling up of the China Basin. Neither of the "Lantry brothers accom panied the train, but will go to San Fran cisco within a few days. Some of the workmen accompanied the train and some are already in San Francisco waiting for it. The contract which the Lantry brothers havj is to remove an immense amount of dirt for the Santa Fe road from the hill back of the Presidio and dump it in be hind a long sea wail to reclaim a portion of the bed of San Francisco harbor which the Santa Fe exoects to use for terminal facilities. The Santa Ke has a SO year lease on the ground from the stale of Cal ifornia. The contract price at which the work was let is 3 cents per square yard, and it is thoueht the contract will amount to about Il.OUO.0O0. INCREASE GRANTED. Conductors and Trainmen Get $12 More From Southern Pacific. The conductors' and trainmen's grievance committee, which has been in HouFton for over a month before the Southern Pacific officials, has at last secured enough of their demands to become satisfied, says the El Paso Herald. As has been announced in The Herald several times, there has been but little difference between the grievance committee and -Manager Van Vleck: but that very little differ ence was the cause of quite a lot of worry on the part of those concerned. Just before coming to El Paso on his last trip Manager Van Vleck had taken a decided stand against some of the demands and the committee, and it was thought at the time that nothing would result from further meetings. Two of the most diplomatic men in the ranks of the conductors and train men were sent for and a settlement finally reached. The trainmen and conductors are highly pleased with the outcome and claim to have secured 90 per cent of their demands, although Houston advices say that only 65 per cent was gained. Anyhow, the meet ing has resulted in a decided victory for the employes of the road, inasmuch as the trainmen of the El -Paso divis ion will receive one half cent per mile Increase and the passenger brakamen will get seventy-five dollars per month instead of seventy. Conductors and freight brakemen will get at least a twelve-dollar increase on their month ly salary. Those concerned in the meeting are more than convinced that Manager Van Vleck is possessed with a spirit of fairness and deala with his men in a perfectly fair manner. $15,000,000 RAILROAD.

New Santa Fe Buildings at Albu querque Well Fixed. The Albuquerque Journal-Democrat says: "The fire protection of the Al varado hotel, the new depot and other Santa Fe property is to be as nearly 'perfect as modern improvement can make it. The water service to these buildings will also be right up to date and one of the means used to accom plish this double purpose will be a new pumping plant at the shops, to draw water from the well which now supplies the shops. This new plant will consist of two duplex, high pressure pumps at the well, having a capacity of one million gallons each for every 24 hours. This will keep the water service all over the Santa Fe property at high pressure, with plenty of reserve in case of fire. New regulation city water mains have been laid from the pumping plant to all the new buildings and the hospital and the new pumps will be put in as soon as the electric plant is In running order, or within the next three weeks." RENIFF REINSTATED. Santa Fe Takes Back a Man Who Quarreled With G. W. Smith. San Bernardino, Cal., Feb. 15. There was a patch work bee at the Santa Fe offices yesterday and when it was over with there came the announcement that J. R. Reniff, who resigned the foreman ship of the local coach shop Thursday afternoon, had been reinstated. It will be remembered that after a little argu ment with Master Mechanic G. W. Smith, Mr. Reniff sent in his resigna tion, collected his time and left for Los Angeles. He returned to this city and stated to friends that he would re turn to the east soon. But matters have changed and now he is once more master car builder for the Santa Fe in this city, while A. A. ISutterworth, whom Division Master C. F. Lape ap pointed to take temporary charge of the department, goes back to an under fore manship. Will Use the Raton Tunnel. Albuquerque, N. M., Feb. 15. The Santa Fe construction force has almost completed the double tracking of the line from Morley, Colo., to the Colo rado side of the Raton tunnel. The lay ing of the double track effectually dis poses of any question as "to the aban doning of the Raton tunnel by the San ta Fe. All bridges and tressles have been widened and stone is supplanting wood. The rail laid are 80 pounders and the ballast is gravel. Some heavy fills have been made. In the cuts that have been necessitated, several well de veloped coal veins have been uncovered showing that there is an immense coal supply in the Raton mountain. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.

AT THE PLAY LAST XIGHT. "Under Two Flags" was presented at the Crawford last night, before about the smallest audience of the season. The play, although not up to the ad vertisements by a quarter stretch, de served a better house. The horses were conspicuous, for their, absence, but a "supe" in the wings Tnade good with a pair of Bticks. Louise McCullum, as "Cigarette," was the center around which the other characters revolved. She did her part well, from the time she lit her first cigarette to the final" when Mrs. Watson played a few bugle calls on her gold cornet, and the orchestra played "Allons! Enfants de la Pa trie" in a subdued manner, and the curtain fell, while poor "Cigarette" was covered with a faded piece of trl colored bunting. The much advertised scenery and scenic effects were absent. The sand storm consisted of a dense smoke, suggestive of a cheap cigor, which floated over the stage from the wings. "Under Two Flags" would be a splendid drama with a good company, good scenic effects and plenty of stage room. THE CLOSING DAY. Men is the Six Say Walking Hatch on Verge of Collapse. New Tork, Feb. 15. Almost on the verge of collapse, the sixteen teams now in the six days' walking match en tered upon the sixth and last day of the contest this morning. Hegelman and Cavanaugh have been in the leaf since the opening day of the race and at 8 o'clock this morning were about 25 miles ahead of their nearest competi tors. All of the walkers are greatly in need of sleep and some of them actually force themselves around the oval. At times one of the men breaks into a i&jilfJUjW women. approach with of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child.. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning sickness," and other dis- comforts of this period.

KANSAS. 501 Jackson St. TOO MUCH PROSPERITY. K. G. Dun Co., Says Iron Trade Affords an Example of It. New York, Feb. 13. Bradstreet's says: "An order for 60.000 tons of rails for Mexico has been placed with an eastern manufactory, while 30,000 tons of rail3 for a southern railway have been placed abroad. Consumptive demand for cop per seems to be Indifferent and is weak er here and abroad. On the other hand, lead is in active demand and higher at London and 50 cents per toa pre mium is demanded for quick deliveries here." R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: '.Business continues to progress satis factorily, notwithstanding- heavy losses through the elementa. The new year has been unusually Handicapped in wks way, floods and snow blockades bpiiifj closely followed by fires and explosions. destroying much property and retard ing traffic. It is only another evidence of the solid basis upon wmcfi tne na tion's industries are established that in each case plans for rebuilding on a grander scale were made before the shock of the catastrophe had fuliy passed. 'The labor situation has distinctly improved during the post week. Dis putes at woolen mills were adjusted ex cept as to the weavers, threatened dis turbance in coal mines was averted while some railway employes received voluntary advances In wages. A slight decrease of 3.5 per cent, in railway earnings for the first week of Feb ruary as compared with the same weeK of last year was not surprising in view of the many severe storms and the diminished movement of gram. "In the iron and steel industry it is now being demonstrated that there is such a tning as too much prosperity. During the last few years there has been such a marvelous expansion in do mestic business, that the "capacity of furnaces and mills as well as trans porting facilities have failed to keep pace. The result is a gradual falling behind with deliveries and a tendency of buyers to send orders abroad wncn ever needs are urgent.

WHEAT Prices of wheat advanced tc today from last night's close, the last figures today being 7ti8C for the "May option. The bears took courage in the report that receipts were 540.501 bushels, as compared with 339, SS4 a year ago. The Northwestern Miller says that there is an active demand for wheat in store and that stocks are being rapkilv reduced. Ltst week they had 432.(j0O bushels, as against over ll.000.OoO bushels two years ago. which Indicates that not much of the present stock will be cm hfirnl by the tinr navigation opens. Broomhall estimates that Monday's world s shipments will be around 7.c-'O.000 bushels, of which ISurope will require all but l.OOO.noo bushels. The heavy reports in the northwest effect the firmer cables and we think was as re sponsible for the failure of the market to respond to the improved corn demand. There was a fair amount of buving at the openirg which was met bv equally as many selling ordeis. There are some com plaints of damage to the crop- in the southwest and reports of poor conditions are from more eastern sections. Prospects are. however, regarding it as very prom ising lor this time of fhe season. In the extreme north and northwest it Is partly cloudy with temperature ranging from 10 below to 34 above zero, and this writing it is snowing in Dnluih, the south west is partly cloudy and more snow is promised. Rain is reported on Pacitic coast. lJespite the slight improvement in speculative markets the dullness in cash besiness amounted to absolutely nothing. However, this was partially attributed to the firm prices at which offerings wer held. There is an indication of strenirtli which we believe will result in a slight advance and we resumed selling on anv substantial bulge. CORN The improvement in the export condition found a read v xesnonse to the cash market today which resulted in an advance of c from lasf night s close. Offerings were fairly liberal in cash and the demand was adequate, the necessity of an export demand can be hettpr iimiw- etood when it is known that our export? from Julv 1 to date have amounted to but 22.tH4.000 bushels.as against 124.7ii3.(X bush els for the same period last vear. Europe country savings have been drawing their supplies entirely from Areentine. The seaboard reports 24.000 bushels as taken for export today. We would not be sur prised to see values advance a trifle from present figures. HOME POLITICS. The Shawnee county delegation to Re publican state conventions has an un fortunate record of cutting little figure In the real contests. What would na turally be the strongest county in these gatherings is often the weakest. There is something unfortunate about this condition not to say pitiable. When Stanley was first nominated Shawnee was tied up to Seaton and the band wagon instead of holding a large num ber of our delegates ran over them all. They were lost in the dust as Governor Stanley rode triumphantly past the goal. This year Shawnee county has two candidates on the state ticket, both ex cellent gentlemen, both with thousands of friends who are not particularly de lighted to engage in a hand to hand i bitter and deathlike struggle between the two. Under the peculiar conditions as things have shaped themselves the friends of Mr. Troutman appear to be fighting out his contest for the nomina tion of governor In this one county, rather than in the state at large. This sort of thing cannot be satisfactorily settled in this county. Exactly the same thing may be said of the can didacy of Mr. Welch for supreme judge. Mr. Troutman may be stronger in the state today than any other candidate for governor. Mr. Welch may have a larger state following than any other candidate for judge. WThy should a successful county scrap- between these two settle the state contest, and yet this is the battle now on. This paper is not marking out any campaign. It is not a political organ. We are Just making a few remarks upon a peculiar situation. How much happier things would be if. this county should elect thirty-nine strong repre sentative Republicans to their conven tion free and untrammeled to exercise strength,and not bound hand and foof in the contest for the various nomina tions. It as surely conceded that any such representative body from this county would be both for Welch for the su preme court and Troutman for gover nor as either stood chance for success, when the delegates are gathered to gether for the actual battle. Congress man Curtis shrewdly says: "I hope my friends in Kansas will oppose anything that looks like a fight between factions. I hope that the Republicans of Shawnee county will not let any candidate or combination force them into a factional fight." It is generally conceded that this is excellent advice from Congress man Curtis to his friends and no Shawnee county Republican will come on the stage and announce he is not a friend of Charley Curtis. Still the scrap goes on. It is easier to give advice than take it. IN BAD TASTE. Congressman Wheeler, of Kentucky, in his ill-natured speech in congress on Friday certainly exhibited a piece of very bad taste. As this is a jieopls be lieving in courtesy, propriety and con sideration in connection with individ uals and nations, he did not repre sent the Anerlcan sentiment when he made his ill-natured and Insulting re marks just as Prince Henry was leav ing his home on a friendly visit to this country. It is safe to say that Mr. Wheeler did not even represent a respectable minor ity in his own district. Kentucky, with the south, prides itself upon the graces, amenities and hospitalities of life. Emperor William paid the I'nited States shipbuilders a great compliment: in awarding the contract for his' Im perial yacht. He invited our presidents daughter to christen the vessel. He sends his only brother, the prince, to be uresent at the ceremony. What a boor Congressman Wheeler has shown himself to be in connection with these incidents. We are all proud of -our system. W believe in republics. We are convinced that we have the best government on earth. Other nations have other for:ns. They respect and are courteous to u:. We should respect and be courteous to them. European nations are constantly showing attention to American visitors of state and travelers froTi this coun try. Mr. Wheeler made a bad break. Ibsen Starts New Play. Christianla, Norway, Feb. 15.

Chicago, Feb. 13. Firemen who grop ed their way through lire and smok and draffged f-ix dead bodies into the ftnet from Bennett hospital at Ada and Fulton streets last night, carried on their heroic labor in the belief that they were rescuing persons who had been asphyxiated. and not until the flames had been subdued did the' learn that they had been in the dissecting room of Ben nett Medical college and that the res cued bodies are fi'x.m the dissecting ta bles of the school.

Hegelman was almost delirious with pain caused by his feet swelling and Cavanaugh, af ter being on the oval tor three hours, said be would let the race go If his partner did not come on. This the lat ter said he could not do. At 11:40, after two hours absence. Cavanaugh returned to the track and said he would continue to the finish alone if he could. The team lost eight miles in the two hours, F. K 8. We heard a man say the other morn ing that the abbreviation for February- Feb. means Freeze every body, and that man looked frozen in his ulster. It was apparent that he needed the kind of warmth that stays, the warmth that reaches trom head to foot, all over the body. We could have told him from personal knowledge that Hood's Sarsa- parilla gives permanent warmth, it in vigorates the blood and speeds it along through artery and vein, and really fits men ana woman, boys and gins, to en ioy cold weather and resist the attacks of disease. It gives the right kind of warmth, stimulates and strengthens at the same time, and all Its benefits are lasting. There may be a suggestion In this for you. LOCAL MENTION.

Warner's Safe Pills taken with IN AWEAKSPOT THE ST0RV OF AN ATTACK AND ITS REPULSE, A Thrilling Account as Told by a Veteran of tbe One Hundred and Fifty- fourth Indiana Volunteers. Jacob T. Keller, of Girard, Kans., is a veteran who saw long and hard ser vice in the civil war with the One Hun dred and Fifty-fourth Indiana Volun teers and he tells many a story of bi vouac and battle. He was recounting some of the adventures' to a reporter the other day. "Of all my experiences in the war and out of it," he said, "one Is most often uppermost in my thoughts. I had strained my hip in some manner but I thought I had got over it ail right. About two years after that, however, when I was plowing for wheat I gave out again In that spot. Rheumatism set in and I had to quit work. I tried one thing after the other to get some re lief front the pain but nothing that I took helped me at all and I became dis couraged. "The cords of my left leg were drawn so badly that I could not straighten it out at alii nor could I sit down. My hip and knee, pained me and I suffered hor ribly. At times also I had nervous head ache. After trying a number of things, my daughter, Mrs. Fry, -who had been cured of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' PTnk Pills for Pale People, induced me to try that remedy. My case was a very stubborn one and I took five boxes of the pills before I could see much change but I kept on and ithey certainly did .wonders for me. The cords in my leg began to slacken and before long it limbered so that I could use it again and be able to sit down. My kidneys had been bad and the pills soon made them better, too. Dr. Williams' Pink Piils for Pale People are a grand, good medicine and I recommend them to all who suffer as I did." The- real cause of rheumatism is the presence of acid in the blood, which irritates the sensitive tissues that unite the joints and cover the muscles, thus causing those indescribable tortures which rheumatic sufferers endure.

The all was fully twenty feet. The woman was not seriously hurt. Someone cried "Fight!" Persons in the audience mistook it for "Fire!" and scores of people quickly got on their feet. Prompt action of attendants, however, soon quieted the crowd and the cause of the disturbance was ear ned away by the police. To the latter lie said he was George S.

Two Red Men Overtax Their Capacity For Liquor. Another Aet in the Well Worn Russian Tragedy. MR. SCIDIITZ ESCAPES. George Domnie Wanted Fined but He Failed. Him Royal Gambling House Raided With Good Results. AM BOSSEY and Joe Kegg, two no ble reds from the reserve, were cor raled last night under the usual ciroumiBtancea. The trouble with Kegg was that he was of the pony variety, and 8 gal Ions was his limit. He had made an effort to absorb a full barrel, and was stretched by the wayside. Five per was the price, and friends who had remain ed sober and possessed the necesasry cash made haste to relieve their em barrassment. A resume of the Domme-Schmitz-Dageant feud came before the court this morning. George Domme secured the arrest of George Schmitz on the charge of assault. Schmitz said he was ready for trial, but Domme (pronounced Dummy.) was not. but the court decided that the time was ripe, and the prose cuting witness must show down. Domme stated his case in a broken way. He said that Schmitz. who was a prominent member of the raiding party which "kidnaped" his frau last summer, had approached him at the Santa Fe shops where he was at work and in quired, "How is your wife and my children?" Domme further stated that he did not relish the words of the friv olous Schmitz, and had attempted to smite Schmitz 'mit der sledge. Schmitz had taken the sledge away from him. Little Exercise With a Sledge. and if he could not 'hit him with a sledge, he wanted him fined in police court, which would answer the purpose admirably. Of course, this is not what Domme said, but a liberal translation thereof. Schmitz was then asked if he had anything to say, and answered: "1 got noding talk." It was so evident that he wanted to say something, but did not feel competent to tussle with the English language, that the court fixed this by sending for a Russian named Siebert, who was doing a stunt on the rock pile, and who could speak both languages fluently, and he handed the words of Schmitz to the court. Schmitz admitted the conversation with Domme, but said that he was joking, and that the fight was all on the part of Domme. The court decided that an assault had not been proven, but told the defendant that he must refrain from such pleasantries with Domme, and that If he came before the court In a second similar case, he would receive a good large fine for disturbing the peace. Siebert made change for this and handed it to Schmitz red hot. and the defendant walked cut. "I am not satisfy mit dis." snorted Domme. "I tink 1 go me by Gott und keel him by der street already." He was warned to do nothing rash. Last night in and about the hour of 11. Sergeant Pavey wandered along the busy mart of trade, to-wit, Kansas av enue. He tried the door of the Royal billiard hall, and found it unlocked. Pavey's besetting sin is inquisitiveness, and he could not resist the temptation to enter in. Officer Mcintosh was near and not very busy, so Pavey invited him to enter and assist in exploring the place. They went through to the stair door, which was also unlocked, and ascended to the room above. Here they discovered a party of parties playing the various games of the establishment, while Monsieur Mikelo Thompson han dled the "kitty." The game was so in teresting that no one noticed the offi cers until Pavey picked a quarter which an elderly gentleman had just "anted." It was then too late to hide the works, and the entire gang, consist ing of Messrs. Mike Thompson, John Young. J. G. Jones. H. -H. Russell, F. G. Remley, H. C. Wilson. Wood Fowler and J. W. Hamilton, drifted, thought fully down to the police' station a few steps prior to Pavey and Mcintosh. The entire punch had the price of escape and made good use of it. Yesterday was a hard one on joint is ts. Five of them, W. W. Wood. Jas. Sheasley, Wade Watts, Dick Heitman and J. E. Wadsworth, were arrested during the day, and spent the entire afternoon in jail before they could se cure' bond. If w A ft Vk t -11 (Continued from Page 9.) The reception given Brig. Gen.

We have found an unusual demand for farm properties in Shawnee county and throughout the state, since the first of January, and have sold many desirable properties. We have made special effort to place upon our lists farms of the better class in this county and the eastern part of the state, with gratifying success. We have lately listed eight or ten of the best farms in the county, the best land and some of the best improved. We have desirable property in Auburn township and Dover township, some especially good in Rossville township and Silver Lake township. We have increased our list in the city and suburbs of Topeka. Never before in the city have we known of so large a num ber of desirable properties placed upon the list of an agency as we can now present to purchasers, and our efforts have been successful in attracting the attention of purchasers from Iowa and Illinois especially. We are assured of a large number of buyers within the next sixty days. We are succeeding in our efforts by constant hard work and fair treat ment to maintain a real estate office where buyers will find a great variety of properties at reasonable prices, and where those desiring to sell can rely upon having their properties carefully presented to a large number of buyers. We have a number of properties worthy special attention: One 320 acre farm, one 220 acre farm and one 80 acre farm in Auburn township. One 400 acre farm, one 280 acre farm, one 150 acre farm and one 120 acre farm in Silver Lake township. Some of .them Kaw river bottom, others creek bottom, excellent improvements. We have a splendid farm two miles southwest of the city. We have what is claimed to be the finest and best improved large farm in the state of Kansas, 3320 acres of bottom land near Solomon in Dickinson county. C We have one of the oldest and best improved farms, 480 acres in Ottawa county, besides two or three others near it of 320 acres each. We have one of the best improved farms in the southern part of Jackson county. We feel that our efforts are becoming more and more successful, and that we are rapidly reaching the point where no buyers can afford to buy without first calling upon us; and where an owner desiring to sell at a reasonable price is more sure of finding a customer with 'us than anywhere else. for the present.

W. F. Roehr NEW CAUSE OF WRECKS. Monster Locomotives Ar Held Re sponsible For Many. Chicago, Feb. 15. A new cause for railroad wrecks has been discovered in the monster locomotives that are now being used so extensively by all rail roads. While being hauled from the shops where they were made they ha ve proved disastrous to the track. Reports have been received showing where the unconnected drivers of the monsters have pounded rails so hard that tne latter have been broken and others have been so badly injured that thty have snapped under pressure of follow ing train". i Superintendents," roadmasters and others who have reported in he mat ter are of the opinion that not a few of the recent wrecks that have been attributed to defective track may now be traced to broken or injured rails re sulting from the transportation of these engines in an unfinished shape. Tie trouble has become so serious that n order was issued by the Rock Island road today requiring all "dead" loco motives received for transportation to be equipped with the side rods in posi tion and coupled. 1 A STORY OF THE LIFE ol N0BDICA.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATOKD AT -EVENING. FEBRTTART 15,1902. Here's Proof That the plans of the Provident Home Oontiauy are jirartical. Organized Oetolwr tt. 1SS6. The Home- and Savings Kund company, M-onerative, 1 niFvilt'. Ky..JudRP build in jr. has ben in successful operation for ixten U yearn, has provided all its members with homes according to con tract, is in Round financial condition to dav with aFSetf of SIX HL'NDRKO AND TU IRTKKX THOT'S AN1 MNK A N t frt-iot IK)LLARS $tU3,0U..Vi. n addition to securing hnmps the company han paid dividends of per cent semi-aiiQiiaUy. which profits the contract holders share in equally. The following: is an extract from the literature of the above com pany "Sec. 19. The business of this company beinff for the encouragement of working people in saving" up small sums and investing- the same in the building or to secure a. home." The object and pur pose of the two companies are identical. Postal cards will bring: you their litera ture which will prove to you that this statement is correct. Below is a brief ex planation of our plans for procuring homes and loans: WHY NOT 0O VOIR 0U. HOM We will help you do it. Wts will buy or build you a home or farm in any 1 ocal i t y or will pa y Off ;i jnortpape or lien, or if no loan is taken you can receive cash to the amount of a. loan to which you would be entitled, plus the surplus earnings from lapses, interest and surrenders, and you repay the com panv hi 16 vears and months at the rate of $5.35 per month on each $l.0W.G0 applied for. Your rent money will buy you a home and you need not even own a lot. You do not get something for nothing-. Each and every member pavs the com pany $1,073 on each $1.u00 advanced. The $73.00 is the company's expense and con tingent fund. That is a small amount. But remember we have thousands of cus tomers. The company, officers and agents are bonded for double the amount of the money handled with the American Surety company of New York, to protect you and your money. Kirst payment on each J1.000 is $3.00, then $1.35 monthly until you get in your home, when you pa v the oompajiy $5.35 per month on each $l,00n.00. This plan is the reverse of all. other co-operative home companies as to the treatment of its members in regard to the advantages given the old and the new. The first to join get their homes first; the last join ing pay the least. The higher your num ber the less you pay. This balances the scales of equality and treats all persons similarly situated alike. We deduct from the amount you are to repay us. the surplus earnings from lapses, interest and surrenders; this will reduce the amount you are to repay the company and may become a. source of pront over and above the cost of your contract. As money ts paid out on real estate only the assets are always secure and belong absolutely to th memlers. PROVIDED HOME COMPACT Of Kansas City, Mo., U. S. A. GEORGE E. STILLING S. President, res.

It is All Because of a Few Post office Appointments. WAS S$AP J UDGUEXT. Queer "Wording of Congressional Call Helps the Insurgents. How Ed Wellington Made a Funny Mistake. It looks as though Congressman Bowersock is up against a serious brand of trouble down in the Second district. Mr. Bowersock has made a good congressman, but he has shown poor judgment in delaying his postomce appointments until his supporters have become divided into factions and all sorts of wrangles have been stirred up, with the result that a lot of fellows are pretty mad. Then the congressional committee in the Second district made a break in The Two Men VTho Are Contesting calling the congressional convention. In the call the following appears: "The committee passed the following resolution unanimously: "That the, member of the congres sional committee of each county hall designate the time and manner In which the delegates from his county shall be selected." This was probably done In Mr. Bow ersock's interest, but it has stirred a lot more Republicans who would prob ably have been for Mr. Bowersock had this not happened. They think it was an attempt on the part of Bowersock's friends to take snap judgment on them. That is why three and perhaps four of the seven delegates from Anderson county are against Bowersock. That is also why Bourbon county will prob ably elect an anti-Bowersock delega tion. Down in Wyandotte' county Judge Holt is the congressional committee man, and he is in Washington con sulting with Mr. Bowersock over the Kansas City. Kas.. postofflce. The Re publicans are petitioning the chairman of the county central committee to call a convention to elect the delegates to the congressional convention without waiting for Judge Holt. They are afraid Holt may want to appoint them hmi self in Bowersock's interest, and Wyandotte county Is for Nat Barnes. It is also stated that Johnson county is in a state of insurrection. Wyan dotte, Bourbon, Johnson and three dele gates in Anderson county would come within four votes of defeating Air. Bowersock. If they can -get one more county they can defeat him. It is possible, however, that some of the opposition may be scattered. It is stated that Mr. Bowersock will be home from Washington shortly to re build his shattered fences. The Sixth district politicians think they have a good joke on Ed Wellington, who is giving Congressman Reeder a terrific fright in the Sixth district. Wellington was the first man on the ground at the congressional committee meeting at Colby a few days ago, and he Immediately engaged a suite of rooms for his headquarters. He had some spare time on hand before the delegates began to arrive, and after fig uring the matter over he concluded there was no doubt but the con gressional convention would also be held at Colby, so he concluded to take time by the forelock and he engaged half of the leading hotel at Colby fox the use of his friends during the ccn gresisonal convention. When the dele gates came they found out what he had done, and that was one reason why the convention was taken to Nor ton. Now Wellington has about twenty rooms in that hotel engaged. The Brown County World is booming George M. Davis, Brown county's can didate for state auditor. The charge is made among the politicians that Davis is being used as a "tool" to keep the Brown county delegation away from Bailey. Here are two Items which were not printed in the joke column of the Coun cil Grove Republican: "Governor Richter is making a telling fight for the Republican nomination, and has his opponents guessing He is the old soldier candidate, and they are demanding recognition." "It was a very admissible fact that Governor Richter was by far the strongest candidate In the field for gov ernor in the discussions of the poli ticians at Topeka at the Kansas Day meeting." Frank 'Nelson is gaining considerable strength up in the northwest. Here is a bouquet which the Beloit Gazette throws at him: "State Supt. Nelson is out for a third term. He will probably get it. He is a competent, popular offi cer, while no one of any particular strength has entered the race against him." At the sane time there are oth ers who have declared against him. The El Dorado Times and the Fort Scott Republican are both in this ciass. W- D. Ross, of Jefferson county, does not seem to be making much stir over the state because of the fight he has on his hands with C. C. McCarthy. Supt. Dayhoff, Hutchinson, is stirring things up in the Seventh district, but he has not got out of that corner of tire state. Judge R. F. Thompson, of Minneap olis, announces that he will be a can didate for re-election to the bench in the judicial district composed of Ot tawa. Saline, Lincoln and Ellsworth counties. It has been announced many times that the Union Pacific line is solid lor K. W. Wellington for congress in the Sixth district, but the Russell Record is fighting him. But the Record does not seem to be for Reeder, either. It's a pood thing for Congressman Calderhead that S. H. Dodge, of the Beloit Gazette, does not live in the Fifth district. Dodge thinks Calder head does not amount to much. A short time ago the Minneapolis Messenger complained that Mitchell county, in Reeder's district, has sixteen rural de livery routes, while Ottawa county. In Calderhead's district, has only one. Commenting on this the Beloit Gazette says: "And yet you have the greatest congressman ever. A man who carries on his shoulders (with Congressman Fowler, the ex-creamery bankrupt from Beloit) the financial structure of the country, to which he devotes his time were not introducing buncomb pension legislation. Why don't you nominate and elect a congressman who 'does things.' rather than a dreamer who poses for the applause of Wall street?" Every few days the rumor comes from Washington that some new man is after J. L. Bristow's job. It's a good thing for Bristow that no flaws can be picked in his official record or private For Supremacy in Shawnee County. life, or he would have been knocked out long ago. F. M. Baker, of Atchison, denies that he wants the Democratic nomination for governor, and he blames Balie Waggeri er for starting it. Now the Atchison politicians are having fun with Balie. They claim he wants to run for the leg islature against Captain Seaton and that he started a gubernatorial boom for Ba ker to. keep Baker from running for the legislature. Judge J. S. West made a big hit for himself and incidentally for his candi dacy for attorney general by winning the judgeship case in the supreme court against the combined talent of Clemens, Rossington, Judge Horton and Over myer. It didn't cost the appointees a cent to get in and they owe a debt of gratitude to Judge West which they are paying by getting behind his political boom. But at the same time Harry Bone and C. C. Coleman are making a pretty hot race and nobody has an easy thing of it. The discussion of the old soldier in politics goes merrily on. When the State Journal asked the question a few weeks ago, "Is the old soldier in poli tics passing?" and pointed, to a few ex amples that pointed that way, it had no idea of the deep interest the question would arouse. Since then it has been discussed in a majority of the leading newspapers of the state. The Holton Recorder makes this unique comment on the- subject: "There Is a whole lot of this old soldier talk calculated to make the. old soldier weary. We have some times thought there was no class of people so easily worked as the old sol dier class. Every time a new faction arises, about the first thing that is at tempted is to work the old soldier ele ment, and the scheme generally suc ceeds. About the craziest Populists we have ever met were the few old soldiers the schemers captured. A few years ago an old soldier, Judge Broderick. repre sented this district in congress, and not withstanding he had ability and experi ence and was accounted honest and In dustrius, Mr. Curtis, a young man who knew how to pose as the friend of the old soldier with the aid of Mr. Leland. an old soldier, crowded Broderick out and took his place. Mr. Leland. then with the help of numerous other old sol diers went to the state convention and defeated Col. Dick Blue, another old sol dier, with Mr. Bailey, a young man. Then the boss busters led by old soldiers rose ur and smote Old Soldier Leland and many shouted 'amen,' while others bowed their heads in sorrow and grief and wrote long editorials to give ex pression to their feelings because Mr. Mrs. Hinkey. Indianapolis, writes: "The doctor said it must be an operation cost ing $801 and little chance to survive. I chose Pyramid Pile Cure and one 5!c box made me sound and well." All druggists sell it.

Audience of 2,000 at the Audi torium Last Night. Says Breach Between the Sec tions is Healed. UUBA IS IMPORTANT. Isthmian Canal Will Add to Its Desirability. Doesn't Believe Spanish Sanc tioned Destruction of Maine.' Fltzhugh Lee, a veteran of twp wars, first as a general commanding a corps in the Confederate army operating id and about the capital of the Confeder acy, and 30 years later prominently identified in the thick of the contest re sulting in Spain's defeat in the West, spoke Friday evening to a great audi ence of 2,000 people gathered in the To peka Auditorium. His speech was with out notes or manuscript, but it was de livered with so much force and earnest ness that he held the rapt attention of his auditors. He grasps the main facts of history of the United States with such ease that there is not the slightest hesitancy in his handling the subject, "Peace and War in the United States and Cuba." Gen. Lee has the deportment of a sol dier in every move he makes. -He has a well-modulated voice for public speak ing, expressive gestures and a power of description that is enrapturing. When Gen. Lee entered the Auditor ium, followed by several hundred veter ans, he was given a greeting that amounted almost to an eyation. With him was General Wilder S. Metcalf, re cently appointed pension agent, who presided ,and other former soldiers, both of the Rebellion and the Spanish-American war. Back of him the Grand Army posts filed in to the tap of the drum and took their places on the platform. Gen. Metcalf rapped the gathering to order and announced the Topeka Ladies' quartette composed of Irs. L. S. Ferry, Mrs. Frank Thomas, Miss Laura Taylor and M"rs.- Frank Foster, who sang "Dix ie" and responded to an encore with "My Old Kentucky Home." Then Gen. Metcalf introduced Gen. Lee, who, when he came forward was again given ap plause that kept him bowing acknowl edgment of the compliment for several moments. One of the first things he did was to thank the members of the G. A. R. for the attention which he had re ceived at their hands. "And I forgive them." said he, "for shooting at me dur ing the war. If I had known them ear lier as well as I do now I don't believe there would have been any war. I was one of those who tried to make two re publics grow where one had grown be fore, and I have noticed that the second one hasn't grown very much since I left it in 186iV General Lee reverted to the discovery of the western world by Christopher Columbus in the fifteenth century, re marking that Spain of that time was the same as the Spain of the nineteenth century. Running briefly, over the founding of the American colonies 'he devoted particular attention to the rev olutionary leaders: Washington, tne Adamses, Patrick Henry, Hamilton,' Franklin, Madison and Jefferson. Then the brilliant victories of the American navy over that of Great Britain in the war of 1812 were noticed. The results of the Mexican war in the acquisition of territory to the United States were touched upon, but the ex tended mention which thespeaker made concerning the men who received their preliminary training for the great civil conflict of a little later in that war was of esnecial interest. He was generous hi his praise of those who came out of that contest prepared for the terrible struggle between the north and the south. "The war between the two sec tions" was the way in which he first re ferred to the great civil conflict. "Slavery," said he. "did not have every thing to do with that war. In the Phil adelphia convention of 1787 two con structions were placed upon the Con stitution and the men in that conven tion did not decide the question there but left it to those who came later. But 1 know now that I voice the sentiments of the whole south when I say that there is no worthier object than the building up of the great glory of Amer ica and the blessing of humanity. There were soldiers on both sides who dis tinguished themselves for their valor and courage: and I know the gallantry of you men," turning to the Grand Army veterans, "whom then I didn't want in my front and certainly not as now in my rear." General Lee described In detail the battles of Thermopylae, Waterloo,Bala klava, and the charges of Burnside at Spottsylvania Court House and that or Pickett at Gettysburg as the greatest exhibitions of human prowess and cour age. Then he launched into a consideration of the troubles leading up to the eman cipation of Cuba from the tyranny of Spain. "Ninety miles from Key West lies an island that is filled with' fruits and flowers. Cuba lies as a' se'.ninel of the great American Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico. She is so situated that she could protect the trade of six states and so is of great interest to the United States. The United States said that it did not object to Spain having possession of Cuba, but it would not allow any other country to come in. Cuba is now more essential than ever to us because of the contemplated Isth mian canal.. "It Is one of the most valuable islands on the earth: no land can rival it in the production of sugar and tobacco. They plant cane only once every six or eight years, and the soil is practical ly bottomless as good today as it was when it was discover?d. There is some thing in the air that gives to the to bacco leaves a. peculiar arona and pro duces a tobacco that never has been rivaled. When she becomes an Ameri can state, territory or protectorate, ohe will be one of the greatest islands in the world. You can plant 'an cange grove there with the absolute certainty that you will raise a crop: and veg etables, all you have to do is just take them out and put them in. Cuban can send out vegetables all the year round. "Under Snanish rule the Cubans be came restless, the dissatisfaction spreading until the revolution of '68 be gan. Then after that came the last Leland had to step down and out and CoL Metcalf, a young soldier who had attended the picnic in, the Philippines stepped up and in. And now notwith standing all the talk of the factions about their friendship for the old sol dier, the one old soldier. Mr. McCarthy, who' has had the audacity to aspire to a nomination for a state office this year is getting It in the neck in fine shape from the very fejlcws who have been posing as the special champions cf the old sol dier. It is all calculated to make peo ple tired." i. war in which the flag of Spain came down forever from that island." The part, which the speaker took in the troubles bftt ween Cuba .and Spain, and 'the United States and Spain, was outlined briefly, beginning with the time when President Cleveland, in tsao, summoned him to Washington and pro posed that he go to Havana under the guise of a consul general to investigate conditions, the president remarking that he "didn't want to go into this Cuban business bow on." Campos, then governor general, he considered the best of the rulers which that island had had under Spain, so far as he -knew. Wevler he evidently thought the worst. "His reconcentrado order, about which you have heard something, was an ex pedient which might be resorted to in war. War is no game of velvet balls; but Weyler ordered all those men and women within his lines when he didn't have anything to feed them with. About 400,000 were ordered in, and 200.000 of them died. As I saw the different de grees of starvation and death in those camps, and such as I hope never to see again, it seemed to me that it was Weyler's plan to depopulate the Island and then bring over fresh levees and repopulate it. After Weyler came Blanco as captain general; but he ar rived too late. The matters had gone to a. further extent; the tension had grown stronger; they threatened my life, and said they would tie me to a horses tail and drag me to death.'. Then he described his unexpected meet ing with General Funston, adding, "and I am sorry that he Is not here tonignt. He is a good and gallant officer." He discussed the Maine incident at length. "No one knows who blew her up. I don't believe that Blanco and the Spanish authorities had anything more to do with blowing her up than I had. But perhaps it was some of those young officers left in the arsenals by Weyler." Then there was a rapid survey of the events leading directly to the war. "For an appropriation for that war the sofilh ern representatives voted with as much unanimity as those of the north. The war with Spain brought about two great re sults: one was that it brought the men of the two sections together and produc ed a harmonious relationship. And If to any one person more than any other we are Indebted for this, it is our late be loved President McKinley, whose heart was stilled, who was murdered by, the bandaged hand of an assassin. The sec ond result of the war was that it taught us and other countries what a great, grand and growing nation we are. We have a great, good, common country. We are contesting for supremacy on the seas, and our reign in the future, let us hope, will be one of peace as eternal as the everlasting hills." At the close of the address. Jackson's band which occupied a position on the right of the platform, played the "Star Spangled Banner." Along with Lincoln G. A. R. post on the stage sat five men who during the war of the Rebellion followed the Stars and Bars under the leadership of the gallant Robert E. Lee, and to whom the address was of especial interest. They were: J. M. Meade, R. M. Spivey, J. C. Layne, M. A. Carter, and G. M. Payne. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Feb. 15. WHEAT May wheat opened c higher today on slightly better cables and fair buying. There was a fair Improvement noted in both the cash and export business. But large northwestern receipts, a poor flour market, both here and at Minneapolis, a weak St. Louis wheat market and generally favorable weather worked to some extent against the firmer condition. May eased a shade on light selling, but afterwards reacted and sold to 78e. Later fluctuations were narrow around this price. Receipts were 14 cars 1 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 427 cars, a total for the three points of 441 cars,, against 301 cars last week and 459 cars a year ago. Bullish sentiment arose again after the early lull in wheat and on vague rumors of damage to the French crop May was pushed upward, closing firm and ic higher, at 78faiSe. CORN Corn was still inclined to be bearish at the opening. The southwest is becoming very bearish and Kansas City and St. Louis have been good sellers here. Cables were firmer today and May opened a shade higher to a shade lower, at 62 61e. There was almost no outside de mand and cash was offered more freely to large consumers and at reduced prices. Mav eased on selling to 6161c, but on reports that the St. Louis corn market was holding steady, reacted again to 62c. Receipts were 58 cars. The strength at St. Louis continued o hold corn here. No. 3 corn there, which a fortnight ago was selling at 3c discount under May, was reported up to that op tion. May here sold up to 62c. and closed firm and e higher, at SZ'-s'a 62Hc OATS Oats had a slow and uneventful opening, unchanged, at 43a4c. There was some responses to the. later firmness in corn and May sold at 43c. but business was so dull that prices eased again at 43c and fluctuated around that figure. Receipts were 73 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions were very dull to start, though the tone was good on lighter receipts at the yards.

BOULDER ON TRACK. Big Hook Causes Wreck and Loss of Life on the Choctaw. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 13. Seven men were killed and at least 14 seriously In jured by a huge boulder, weighing' 15 tons, crashing into the caboose" of a work train on the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf railroad, 220 miles west of Little Rock. The work train was headed west, the engine pushing six cars and a caboose. It was in charge of Conductor J. R. Gimble, Engineer Nazor and Fireman W. II. Evans. As the train was passing under the high bluffs, bordering the riv er two miles west of Little Maumelle, the crew saw a heavy rock rolling down the steep declivity, having been detach ed from the hillside by the rains. The train was going slowly, but was almost upon the rock when it struck the track. Engineer Nazor reversed his engine at once, but the train, struck it with almost full force. The caboose was at the head of the train and was shivered into splinters. Most of the men who were killed and injured were in the caboose. There was a crew of S4 men, white and colored. Just back of the caboose were three cars of sand and many of the men were buried underneath the sand which was thrown forward by the terrific im pact. Six men are known to have been killed outright. Three were left on the ecene and three were brought to Little Rock on a train that was dispatched to the scene as soon as the news could be sent to the city. Fifteen injured were brought to Little Rock and are now at St. Vincenfs infirmary. One of the An IE leciris Bolt Free Send Tour Application At Once To The Physician's Institute.

Three) years ago, the Physicians' Institute, reslizl-i-r the value of electricity in the treatment of certain phases of disease, created under the superintendence of Its staff of specialists an electric belt, and this belt has bcea proved to be of great value as a curative ageat.

It required the ut most strength of 12 men to carry to the grave the casket containing the remains of Dennis Leahy, whose funeral has Just been held. The dead man weighed 700 pounds. Leahy's enormous weight had been acquired within the past ten. years. When he turned the 500 pound mark two years ago. a physician pronounced his increase of size due to fatty degen eration cf the heart. Appreciating the trouble his interment might cause his friends, Leahy hunted up a place of residence close to a ceme tery and it was necessary to carry the casket only a short distance.

A Help In Time of Need. Sometimes bad teeth cause illness, particularly when they are not fit b! masticate food. A man in Ada, O., had all of his teeth drawn. He was sick with Indigestion and lack of vitality and hi3 teeth were in bad condition. He ex pected, with a new complete set of teeth, to regain his health by thoroughly chewing his food, but he had an experi ence that is well worth knowing of. "Instead of improving I continued to lope strength," he says, "until I was a mere moving skeleton. I tried a. num ber of prepared foods but none cf them helped me until I get Grape-Nuts. Th flavor pleased my palate at once. I soaked the food in cream and got along with it nicely. Within a few days I no ticed that I was not so tired and jaded. Gradually I grew stronger, so I left off all other foods and took only Grape Nuts. My old time vigor came baclt and in two months I gained 17 pounds. This was remarkable for I am of spare build. Now I sleep and feel wonderfully well. Inasmuch as I am doing so nicelv without teeth I have concluded to wait until my gums have finished shrinking before having a set made. I dont believe I could have gone through the drain on my system had it not been Terr Grape Nuts. There is no doubt about the life giving and nerve-building force of that food. I talk Grape-Nuts to all of my friends." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Digests what yos3 Eait' QUIP It Is Evcrjv&ere. If you belong to tbe great army of suffer ers from indigestion you can realize what a national calamity it is that three-fourths of the American people are in the same ranks. It is easy enough to moralize on what brought about this terrible condition, high living, poor living, fast eating, improper eating, worry, strain and a host of other things. But the great question is, Whatare we going to do about it and how are we going to overcome its terrible effects? CouKa't Live vlt&OBl One. The whole trouble lies in the stomach, that's plain enough. But we can't afford to remove the stomach and we can't afford to let it be destroyed by disease. It is the most important organ of the body and we couldn't live without it. The stomach prepares the food for making the blood that nourishes every organ and tissue of the body. Without good, rich blood tbe heart becomes weak, the lungs break down, the liver becomes choked and the kidneys are strained beyond endurance. There is no disease, except the consequence of injury, that is not directly caused or aggravated by disorders of the stomach. We Mult Clve It a Rest. But what are we going to do when the stomach is completely tired out and can no longer digest food? We must not allow our bodies to become saturated with the poison ous materials formed by the fermentation of undigested food that would be followed by serious and probably fatal results; and we must not wreck the nervous system by the tortures of indigestion. We must give the stomach rest. But how are we going to doit? Cae 8 i Dtlsg U. We can stop eating. Some people have been forced to do it for awhile, and a few have deliberately tried to do it. A few years ago one man voluntarily went without eating for forty days and nights; but at the end of that time be was little more than skin and bones. Tfie etuer wai. It is evident that we can't live without food and we can't maintain good health any length of time on half rations. When the stomach is weary and refuses to work, we must devise some plan besides starvation to give it a rest. There is only one other way, and that is to do the stomach's work for it. There are a great many preparations that can be taken immediately after eating that will aid the digestion of food. Some of them help digest starchy foods, such as bread and potatoes and cereals; others help digest albuminous and nitrogenous foods, such as eggs and meat and cheese. Most of these preparations are good as far as they go, but they do not go far enough. Nature demands a generous and varied diet, and everything! we eat must be thoroughly digested. Partial digestion may relieve for a time, but it cannot cure dyspepsia. TDc cosuaoa Sense Metaol. To absolutely cure dyspepsia and restore the digestive organs to health, we must give the etomach complete rest and give the body a plenteous variety of good nourish ment and at the same time supply recon structive materials to be used in repairing the worn out structures. To devise a method of accomplishing these things has been a perplexing problem, and its solution marks a, new eraSln the treatment of dyspepsia. Eovltvas AtcaBjUssetY By intricate experiments and laboratory -work it was found possible to combine, la -exact proportions, all the dig estants natural ly used la the digestion of the various classes of foods and to unite with them the organic substances required to build up the exhausted tissues. These investigations were especially con ducted for the purpose of devising a prep aration which by its presence ia the stomach and alimentary tract, would completely re lieve the digestive organs from work by di gesting whatever class of foods might ba eaten. s Record Seeas ReaarkaBIe. The result bas been more than it at first seemed possible to accomplish. The prepar ation formed on these principles, knows as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, has been- used by many thousands of dyspeptics, and in every case it afforded almost instant rHief, and its continued use never-failed to bring about complete recovery, even in the worst cases after everything else had failed. This record seems remarkable; but it is only a natural result of the composition and properties of this preparation. It Digests iaat Yoi Eat. Kodoi. Dyspepsia Cttrb digests what jon eat and allows you to eat all the good, whole- some food you want. If you are suffering from Indigestion you will be surprised at the speedy relief it will give you. If your case is of long standing it will require a reason able time to effect a cure; for Nature cannot replace worn out tissues with new ones by magic. But when, by the use of this prep aration, the stomach is given absolute rest, and abundant nourishment and reconstruc tive materials furnished, recovery is certaia aud permanent. "Nearly every month for years I was attacked with gastralgia, an agonizing form of indigestion. Skilled physicians failed to cure me. I com menced using Kodol, Dyspepsia Cubk and it .gave instant relief. Now I have not had an attack for five months." J. B. Evans, Harrisburg, Pa. "My family physician recommended me to use Kodoi. Dyspepsia-Cuke for chronic indigestion that had tortured me for years. Formerly I couldn't eat anything or drink a glass of water without distress. Now I can eat and drink whatever I want." Mrs. R. F. Bufhngton, Xenia, 111. "I had stomach trouble for years, often so bad I had to abandon business. I tried physicians and all kinds of medicine. I commenced using Kodol.

Manager Foster, of the Kansas uni versity football team, has announced that Washburn and K. U. will play in Kansas City next fall. K. U. hopes to defeat Washburn in Kansas City, a thing the crimson has not done in To peka nor Lawrence for more than two years. This week's issue of the Washburn Review goes after the Rev. J. D. Coun termine with a sharp stick. It says that Dr. Countermine is way behind the, times in opposing the theory of evolu tion, and that the reason he opposes it is because he is too narrow-minded to investigate the subject for himself. This is what Ed Howe says on the subject: "If it is true, as stated that Charley Gleed admires the Dooley let ters, we know one man who intends to go back on Charley Gleed. The Dooley letters are rot. They are disappearing from the papers. They will be a thing of the past In six months." The city may settle the Frank Mur phy case out of court. The suit has been pending in the district court for some month's. "Murphy sued for $558.65 damages, alleging this amount to be due as a result of the Nation raid on his place a year ago.

He tells of it this way, when they played at Kan sas City: "They gave the worst per formance that I ever saw, .1 had heard of their work but did not believe it was j so bad. so when the first performance was given I hired a lot of boys to go up in the gallery and throw beans and vegetables. It was unnecessary. The people had come prepared. They threw everything upon the stage except the seats. It was such a bad performance that it was good and we packed the house every night." These same Cherry sisters are headed toward Topeka and will be here February 25 if they are not quarantined. ARE AFTER WARING. Old Soldiers Want Abilene Postofficfe For Frank Murphy. A postofHce row is now in sight at Abilene, in Congressman Calderhead's district. Since the promulgation of President Roosevelt's order that prefer ence shall be given to old soldiers in the matter of appointments, a petition has been started among the Abilene veterans asking for the appointment of Frank Murphy, one of their number, as postmaster to succeed Richard Waring, the present Incumbent. Mr. Waring is a friend and appointee of Congressman Calderhead, and one of the owners of the Abilene Reflector, the Republican organ of Dickinson county, and if Mur phy's candidacy reaches the serious stage, all kinds of trouble may be stirred up. Abilene is also the home of Senator Burton, and it is customary for a United States senator to name the post master in his home town, even over the recommendation of the congressman in whose district he is located, and Sen ator Burton may be called on to make a choice between an old friend and an old soldier.

This result has been accomplished by John R. Kondrick, superintendent of the textile section of the manufacturers' department, who is in the south to ar rangat for the feature which has Just been outlined. He sent word to the exposition authorities today that he had secured assurances that such an exhibit would be made. STILL THERE'S TROUBLE. Apparently No End to Kansas Post ofHce Fights. There is more trouble over postoffices in the Fourth congressional district than in any other two districts in the state. The appointments made by Con gressman Miller nearly always make trouble, and when the people accept the appointments the appointees themselves start trouble. The latest report of this kind comes from Lyndon. Miller recently recom mended the reappointment of J. W. Keenan as postmaster, and now that Mr. Keenan considers that he is again sure of the place the patrons of the office have learned that he intends to move the office to an out-of-the-way lo cation and put it in a vacant building which he himself owns and near a vacant hotel building also owned by the postmaster. The proposed removal has stirred up such a muss that the fight has been carried to Washington and Senator Burton has been requested to hold up Keenan's confirmation until the loca tion question is settled.

WHERE CURTIS LEARNED TO READ. Topeka Congressman's First In struction in Indian School. Was Located Sear Council Grove, Morris County. .HIS JL O 3 G WALK. At Eight Years Old Traveled to Topeka on Foot. Had Been Frightened at Report of Hostile Indians. HISTORY IS THRILLING Story of Conflict With the Kaw Indians. Reminiscences of One of Oldest Towns in Kansas. Had Its Origin as Overland Sta tion in 1820. 1 Long before such a town -as Topeka was dreamed of Council Grove was a city at least in the pioneer sense. To be sure Its development has been by no means rapid, but It is still a flour ishing village, famous for its hotels and Ml r v m A iVfAp&A tWt te VvV4 W i Hgffi ft, Congressman Charles Curtis as He Looks Today. statesmen. It was here that Congress man Charles Curtis first attended school, which had been established by the government for the Kaw Indians, and one can hear interesting Indian Ftories at first hand from, the old Bet tiers. There are various stories told of how Council Grove got its name, but its oldest citizen vouches for the follow ing: In 1820 when the Overland trail was established and for years after wards a trip across the plains was considered by no means safe. There were hostile Indians as well as bandits to be en countered, and for that reason emi grants traveled in large -companies as much as possible. Morris county marked the line of safety, and it was the custom for travelers to encamp in the beautiful grove on the Neosho and wait for others until there were enough to make the trip in safety. It was here THOMAS S. HUFFAKER, From a Photograph Taken 15 Years Ago. that the councils were held to for.mu late plans for defense, and for the best means to make the long, tiresome jour ney. From this fact the place was called Council Grove, by which name it Is still known. It is erroneously stated that the city took its name from the councils held by Indians in this grove. Until the days of overland travel were over Council Grove continued to be one of the most Important stations on the route, and thrilling incidents of border life are yet related by the citizens who have grown old in this quaint, busy lit tle hamlet. If you ask to be directed to points of Interest at Council Grove, the first place to be pointed out will be the Kaw In dian mission building, which stands di rectly on the bank of the Neosho river a few blocks from the business section of the town. It is no longer used as a school, but Is occupied as a residence, pirectly across the river in a big rambling house bearing1 unmistakable marks of early southern architecture lives Thomas S. Huffaker, the man un der whose direction the mission was built and who presided over the In dians who attended school within its walls in the early fifties. Mr. Huffaker was sent to Council Grove by the United States government in 1X50, and the school building was constructed under his personal super vision the sane year. It is built of na tive stone with walls of thickness which leave the impression that they were designed to withstand a siege. It con tains eight rooms, and originally served as a residence for the instructor and his family. The Methodist church (South) paid for the building, but the superin tendent was paid by the government. In 1S51 the school was opened. Super intendent Huffaker says that the In dians did not take kindly to the school. The daughters were not allowed to at tend and the sons of the chiefs and ieading men of the tribe would have been degraded in the eyes of the In riians if they had received instruction at the white man's school. Mr. Huffaker says that in consequence the school was made up principally of orphans and In dian children who had no" one to care for them. The largest number of scholars who ever attended at one time was 40, and this was in the early days of the school. In 1854 Mr. Huffaker re ported to the government that the school could not be kept up on the allowance of $50 per scholar and asked that the amount be increased. No at tention was paid to his request, and the Kaw mission school ceased to exist after a Bhrvrt life ot only tnree years. The Indians held a large reservation which included practically all of Morris county, extending 5 miles west. 15 miles ea.st, 10 miles "north and 10 miles south of Council Grove. Had it not been for the fact that the city was in the heart of the Kaw Indian reservation. Council Grove might now be the capital of the tnte In 1S54 when Kansas was or ganized as a territory by the passage VH V of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. Gov ernor R-eeder was appointed as the first executive of the new territory. He went with his staff to Council Grove at onee, intending, it is claimed, to make that .the capital, of the new territory. He met an unexpected obstacle in the fact that the necessary land could not be secured from the Indians, and conse quently another location had to be found. Lecompton, which was chosen, did not retain the capital, but Council Grove might have been better favored owing to its central location and im portance. While the Kaw Indians were consid ered peaceable, they did cause trouble m Council Grove on one occasion. That was on June 2. 1839, when a band of 1(H) Kaw warriors suddenly appeared on the main street hideous in their war paint. Adreas' History of Kansas gives the following account of the encounter: "Their leader was Ah-le-gah-wah-ho wno, about a year before had been de posed as chief of the tribe. After halt iner his warriors the chief rode up to the store of S. M. Hays and, still sitting on his pony addressed him as follows: "You sent for these two horses which my boys stole from a Mexican trader. You sent us word that we must not only give up the horses but that we must turn over to your people the two men who stole the horses. that your peo ple may punish them. The horses you can have, but the men you can't have without a fight.' Hays controlled him self as best he could, well knowing that if a fight ensued the Indians w ould have all the advantage as they had come ful ly prepared for such an emergency. Ah-le-gah-wah-ho taking his silence for fear began to taunt and insult the whites and to heap abuse upon them. The abuse was too much for Hays and he lost his temper and told the clerk lo haqd him two revolvers that were lying behnHL the counter of the store. While this pfirley was going on the Indians had briiken their formation; some went galloping through the cross streets while the main body gathered around their leader in front of Hays' store. When Hays had received the revolvers from the clerk he fired them into the air in front of the Indians. The Indians only wanted a pretext to commence the fight and instead of being frightened by the firing of Hays srcme of the more impe tuous among the warriors cried out, 'Hays is shooting at us. shoot him.' On hearing this Hays retired within the store and shut the door.but two or three men who were on the street became targets for the Indians. Whatever words were exchanged between the Indian leader and Hays were done through T. S. Huffaker who acted as interpreter. "Some of the young bloods among the Indians on hearing the cry 'Shoot him' fired and one man by the name of Charles Giikey, who -was standing be side the interpreter, received .a danger ous arrow wound in the lower part of the neck. Another young man by the name of Parka, while in the act of .crossing the street received a dangerous bullet wound which stretched him senseless upon the ground. Everybody supposed that Parks had been killed. Mr. Huffaker, who was greatly respect ed by the tribe and who spoke the Kaw language fluently, knowing well the 4" 4 4 a- eS 4 e 4 eSSj 4 el 4 4

The Indians in stantly wheeled their horses and gallop ed out of town- and in less than an hour's time all their tents which had been visible on the high ground south of Kim creek which runs immediately south of Council Grove, were struck and packed, after which the tribe took up its march in the direction of Four Mile creek, where in addition to artificial means of defense they could have the advantage of those -which in this local ty, nature offered." The organization of a company to fol low the Indians is then described and how the Opposing forces met face to face and were drawn up in battle array only two hundred yards apart is told. (From a "Photo Kaw Indian Mission at Council Grove It was here that Mr. Huffaker's services were again used to good advantage. He bravely consented to go to the Indiana and demand the surrender of the two braves who had shot Giikey anil Parks. The people from the country around Hocked to Council Grove and the women and children were left in the Mission building while the ijjen went to rein force the -whites on Four Mile creek. There were 400 Indians and at the be ginning of the parley only 40 whites but before it was over the whites outnum bered the Indians. The red men con sented to give, up the man who shot Giikey but refused to surrender the In dian who had wounded Farks who hap pened to ba a young chief who was popular w-ith the tribe. The situation as sumed a sanguinary aspect but finallj the Indians acceded to the terms as communicated to them by Mr. Huffaker, the two Indians were turned over and further bloodshed was averted. What followed is told in the follow ing words: "They were brought forth, bound and tied and delivered over to the -whites. They were tried in no court, no judge heard their case, no attorney Health A true health food makes Make delicious hot pancakes. There is none better made anywhere.

This was the verdict and in compliance therewith both were hung on the south side of Main street between the river and the court house." This-Xwas the only serious clash be tween the whites and Indians though there was a brush between the Kaws and the Cheyennes as late as 1S68 but even that -was not serious and though the battle' lasted all day only one In dian was wounded. AVhen the Kaw lands were finally alloted in 1859 each Indian was given 40 acres and the gov ernment gave Robert Stevens the con tract to erect 150 stone houses on the Indian lands for the use of the red by Aplington.) Erected by the Government in 1850. men. It is told that the only use which these stone huts were put to by the Indian3 were for stables .for their ponies while they chopped up the wood work to use as kindling and continued to live in their tents. Many of these lit tle stone houses are still standing and have been transformed into farm houses by additions. About three miles down the Neosho river from Council Grove the govern ment built two Indian schools but they have been torn down. In one of these schools a little quarter blood Indian boy from Topeka was enrolled. He Is now Congressman Charles Curtis. The time the youthful Curtis spent in the Indian school was short but it is one of the stories a Morris county old settler will tell when talking of the early days, only he Hsually makes the mistake of as serting that it was the Huffaker Indian mission school in Council Grove which Mr. Curtis attended. Mr. Huffaker tells the following story of Congressman Charles Curtis, which he says has never been printed: "I was down at the Kaw village one day rn 1868, and Mrs. Curtis was there with her muscle and bone is palatable and easily digested.

Miss. Mary McGiffln Pleasantly Entertains Her Friends. Items of a Social and Personal V Nature. The utter quiet of Lent has not yet descended upon us, and during the' past week there have been many pleasajit affairs, both large and small. Monday afternoon Mrs.- George -irort Ashton gave her second reception. Mrs, T. N. Packard, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mrs. Fred Willner and Miss Norma Wheeler, of Kansas City, received with her. Over two hundred guests called during the afternoon. The same afternoon Mrs. George Me- little son Charles, who was then only eight years old. They were visiting the tribe. While I was there the report came teat the Cheyennes were coming and there would be a battle.. It seemed that the boy did not like these rumors, for he was soon missed and we after ward learned that he had walked to his home in Topeka. This walk of 60 or 0 miles was a pretty big undertaking for a boy eight years old, but apparently it had no terrors for him." Mr. Huffaker was born in 1825 in Mis souri. He was a slave holder, and when he came to Kansas he brought his slaves with hi-n, and they lived with him in Council Grove. But when the trouble between the north and the south came he was on the side of the north. He has served two terms in the legislature, and he is still one of the most respected citizens of Morris county. He is tall and straight, and his eye has something of the fire of the exciting days of the fifties. Morris county was a scene of .border ruffian troubles during the war, and what was known as the Anderson gang committed murders and other depreda tions. Judge Baker, a brother-in-law of Mr. Huffaker, was one of the victims. Only a few of the old buildings at Council Grove are still standing. The big Hays store room is still standing, and the blacksmith shop where the freighters' teams were shod and which for years was the forum for political discussions is standing and Is still used by' a blacksmith. But the old landmarks and the men who lived in the days of Indian troubles and con flicts with desperadoes are fast passing, and in a few years these stirring scenes will be legends. L. L.

lO TOPEKA.STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 15, 1902. eaiiRKE's SECRET OUT The Great Trainer Put His Faith in Nerves.' ENDURANCE HE WANTED The ablest manager of professional athletes in the world. Thomas O'Rourke f New York City, writing to the pro prietors of Palne" Celery Compound on January 11. said: "One of the most important features In the training of an athlete is to invig orate the nervous system, and nothing ever takes the place of Palne's Celery Compound to accomplish this! It fa cilitates getting a man in prime con dition. In my experience in handling athletes I have never found anything equal to it." This from a man of whom the most wonderful champion In the world said, when one of Mr. O'Rourke's pupils had won the world's championship: "The secret of O'Rourke's success I cannot understand. Wonderful endurance and an inexhaustible supply of nerve force distinguishes the men he coaches from their opponents in every battle." For the past 11 years Mr. O'Rourke has been recognized as the greatest trainer in the world. While he was coaching George Dixon, that young THOMAS F. O'ROURKE. athlete was the- world's champion. Sharkey, who was at first a rough "and tumble giant, under O'Rourke's train ing developed into an even-tempered, hardy, strong, rugged boxer. The above unsolicited words from Mr. O'Rourke. who, by the way, has been the owner of the Broadway Ath letic club, the Lenox club, the Coney l.land club and Royals Golf club, and who is known to be one of the finest gentlemen among the devotees of the manly art. tell the -whole story. He found in Paine's Celery Compound na ture's food for the nerves. While this remedy has effected thou sands of cures among those who are sick, and has restored to healthy life innumerable men and women whose nervous systems have teen shattered, and who were suffering from the symp toms of the beginning of a deep-rooted Impairment of the nervous system it Is worth noting that even in those ex hausting contests where absolutely per fect nerves are preeminently needed, this remedy has also been found equally as beneficial in repairing the exhaustion due to the high training. If such men, who require above everything else-above muscles (which cannot develop without good nerves); above courage, which no man with wreak, nerves ever had who require above everything else perfect nerves if such men have found it necessary to feed the nerves and brain with the food nature requires it is good proof that this greatest of all remedies, the disT eovery of one of America's ablest pro fessors, accomplishes all that ic claimed for it. Every man or woman whose nervous system is not in perfect condition will find that this remedy will make it sol! No other remedy in the world was ever so universally acknowledged by physicians and all those who have manly and womanly development in band to be so perfectly adapted to cases of failing health and lagging vitality.

BUTTER IN PACKAGES Topeka 'Methods and Product Attract Wide Attention. In keeping with other advances the meth od of packing butter in sealed, air-tight and odor proof cartons controlled by the Continental creamery is attracting wide attention. The pure pasteurized product in this package is as fine as science and skill can produce and this is a Topeka product, advertised and sold world-wide. The Topeka creamery is a model fac tory of 60,000 pounds butter capacity daily and enjoys the distinction of be ing the largest creamery in the world. On its employes' pay roll are 400 men and Kansas farmers to the number of 17,000 get checks from its office on the 15th of each month and for milk the past year, in spite of the dry season, the Continental creamery paid for the farm er's product one and three-quarter mil lion dollars. Only a small part of this sum goes to the communities where the dairy busi ness is developed to anything like its possibilities. The large part of the ter ritory receiving this money is having its first year's experience in cow-culture and during the next five years improve ment in dairy methods and increased milk receipts will be quite marked. For Kansas in demonstrating that dairying can be profitably carried on in the short grass country and that cream can be shipped therefrom to a central point for manufacture into an excellent product, and the improved methods of feeding and crop growing which will result therefrom, the Continenal Creamery company has done a missionary service which in early days, years have failed to accomplish. The present day method Of conducting creamery business as exemplified by this large Topeka concern has given every Kansas farmer who can reach a railroad a market for the cream from his dairy. Cream from the centrifugal farm separator is purchased on the shipper's track and cream from farm ers who operate their own skimming stations is purchased in the same man ner, receiving a price based on the price of butter on the great markets. These avenues for the farmer were not open two years ago. Today any far mer can avail himself of creamery prices for his product. The centrifugal separator; the Babcock test and the present day creamery system hav-a made this possible. The beginning of the creamery busi TUESDAY. Chief Donovan rounds up a few jonitists and collects J100 per man on behalf of the city.. fig ness In Kansas was marked by the or ganization of co-operative farmers' companies, which companies paid pro moters fabulous prices for complete churning plants. Many plants were so located that failure was in evitable. The milk supply in many local ities was inadequate to success. Un skilled laborers and untrained man agers had undertaken a task with which they could not cope.-- Local freight rates on supplies and out-going product, the paying of high prices for supplies in small lots were all points which doomed to failure the indepenu ent creamery. At this time the skim ming station at a cost of $1,500 affords to the farmer and his community the same opporturrty for marketing his product and means to him a greater profit, through the more economical management of the station and central factory, which plan of centralization those who hae investigated will con cede is most economical in the manu facture and is at a decided advantage in marketing the product. DANISH WEST INDIES. How the People of Islands View Change of Ownership. Protected by copyright. I don't suppose you Americans think it matters much just how we West In dians view a transfer of authority and territory as between Denmark and the United States, but at least you will allow- that, being hu-nan, we naturally feel like saying something. Whether our prospects are to be improved or not and, to tell the truth, they couldn't appear much worse we are anxious to have a voice in the matter. We have objected not so much to the transfer as to being transferred like dumb cattle, as though our opinions were not worth considering. There is no doubt in the world as to how the majority will vote should it come to a plebiscite, for, to be frank, our very existence depends upon annexation by or connection of some sort with the United States. You may have read in the press a few weeks ago that the people over in Santa Cruz" (forty miles south of ot. Thomas) held a grand indignation meeting and declared their continued, loyalty to old King Christian and tae Danish government. Well, but did you notice the "little joker" appended to those resolutions to the effect that they hoped and prayed for better treatment in the future? Those resolutions were in the name of an entreaty and a threat in fact, the ''resolutors" knew what they were about. They were mainly of the office holding class, with a prospective loss of jobs should the islands be transferred to the United States. The situation is just this: The isl ands have been under Danish control for many, many years, and all the offices are filled by Danes, but the co.iri merce of the group is mainly with the United States, and English is the lan guage we all speak. It was only by accident that Denmark gained posses sion of the islands now known as the Danish West Indies, and they have maintained their hold not only because no other nation wanted them, but through a mistaken sense of loyalty on the part of the inhabitants. Intrinsical lv, thev are practically valueless, but strategically they are of great value to any power which, like the United States, is contiguous and has a large navy which must depend in time of war upon its coaling stations. The only island raising- anything of consequence is Santa Cruz, and that produces sugar, with run as a byprod uct. St. John yields some sugar, coffee, spices and bay rum, while St. Thomas was long ago exhausted and produces no agricultural staple whatever. It3 soil is worn out what the hurricanes haven't blown into the sea and most of its commerce has long since depart ed. But it has, as you know, one valu able possession in the harbor of its chief and only town Charlotte Amalla which all naval experts have pro nounced one of the finest in the world. It happens that neither of the near isl ands. Porto Rico or Culebra. has quite so good a harbor as ours, combining all the advantages of narrow entrance, deep water and. facilities for defense. And as to natural beauty, why, there is where we can beat the world. From whatever point you may view these l3l ands they are perfect gems, and in sa lubrity of climate, again, we can chal lenge comparison with any section of the globe. Having resided in the islands for many years. I have grown to love them, to be sure, but my liking for them does not blind me to their defects. As winter resorts for the United States they pos sess attractions unsurpassed in beauti ful scenery, delightful clinate, snowy sand beaches, fishing grounds, spicy -voods and fragrant fields. There is no lovelier island, for example, than the little St. John, only sixteen square miles in area and with less than 1,000 inhabitants. I have hunted there fre quently and can say it is one of the most attractive pjaces I ever visited. And then, again, it has in Coral bay a fine landlocked harbor second only to i that of Charlotte Amalia- And yet it is almost unknown to the world at large. I don't suppose there is a single hut on its shores, let alone a house, and this great body of water is actually going to waste for lack of appreciation by some nation with a navy. The scenes that greet one as he walks about this island of St. Thomas are really pitiful. The- country district is practically desolate, the once prosper ous plantations are abandoned, and Charlotte Amalia itself, once one of the most prosperous ports in the West In dies, is perishing cf dry rot. I have talk ed with men who have seen Spanish dollars wheeled through the streets by WEDNESDAY. Republican manager studies figures showing relative strength of congres sional districts In state convention. fJp ItssM the barrow load and who recall times when all the warehouses were bursting with the products of every clime. One can live here cheaply enough, if that is ail, for canned provisions and drinka bles, such as wines and whiskies, are about half of what they are in the states. Clothing of all sorts, espe cially if made to order from the finest imported woolens, can be had for next to nothing. And yet at the same time the rich are growing poorer and the poor, many of them, are on the verge of starvation. This seems incredible in a land where the sun shines all the- time and almost anything in the fruit and vegetable line can v be produced by merely sticking the seeds into the ground. But the fact cannot be gain said that the commerce which was at one time the life of St. Thomas has de parted. Now, as to the people, there are about S4.0C0 of us holding altogether only 140 square miles of territory. The bulk of the population is concentrated in the towns, such as Charlotte Amalia. with at least 12.000 out of this island's total of i:j,00O; Christianstadt and Frederich stadt absorbing more than two-thirds the population (20.000) of Santa Crux. This is an unhealthy condition.of course, but it exists. People here are gregar ious, as they are in the states and else where, and for various causes flock to the centers of population. It has been easy, then, to obtain a consensus of opinion as to the popular desire for annexation or absorption by the United -States. Porto Rico has ex cited a jealous feeling here, for as she has progressed we have retrogressed. And yet we are bound hand and foot by Danish conservatism. These islands an nually cost Denmark $60,000 more than they yield to her, but the bulk of lie bill is for soldiers and officeholders, who will be promptly withdrawn as soon as Uncle Sam takes possession. Old Den mark herself hasn't had a revenue with in half a million of expenditure for many years. Copenhagen's streets are full of beggars, and the $4,000,000 or $5, .000,000 which she is said to be getting for these islands will be very accepta ble. She asked $10,000,000 for St. Thom as and St. John, without Santa Cruz, in 1867, when Secretary Seward practically closed a bargain for $7,500,000. The treaty failed in the senate through the crustiness of Charles Sum ner, as is now remembered here, and it is elso recalled that the inhabitants of these islands had all voted to cut loose from King Christian, King Ed ward of England's impecunious father-in-law, end to cast their lot with Uncle Sam. Xiut after they had done so and after the old king had sent us off with a tearful farewell having received an elegant and substantial testimonial himself--the deal fell through, and Den mark had to take us back. All this hap pened a good generation ago, but in this island a little news lasts a long time, and the humiliation of it all is well re membered:. Bearing in mind these facts, one may form an accurate concept of the situa tion, which is this: We are of no use to Denmark, and she will be very glad to get rid of us; Denmark is a clog upon our prosperity, a veritable old man of the sea, an octopus, which we would be glad to be rid of, knowing as we do that our only deliverance lies through more intimate connection with the United States. We have but one thing to offer in return, and that is our harbors as coaling stations; but these, owing to their strategic situation, are invaluabie. You offended our self ap l'i eeiation and vanity years ago when you refused to take us to your arms af ter we had offered to come, but we are not in a position to nurse resentment, and if the high contracting parties have agreed to the transfer, as is reported here, you may bet that "Barkis is willin'." You may hear reports of "demonstrations" against the transfer and of testimonials of love for the "good old king," who will probably be treated to another royal gift of gold or silver, but in their hearts ail the people are rejoicing over the prospective change. It can't be any worse; it may be im proved. But that is a matter neither here nor there. Compared with the pop ulation of the United States, as a cute Yankee skipper remarked to me the ciher day, we are "mighty small po tatoes and few in the hill." EDWARD M. ANSEND. Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, D.W.L HARVARD AND YALE OUT. Humored That the Colleges May Sever Relations. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 15. Rumors that Harvard will shortly resume ath letic relations with Princeton and drop Yale, claiming that Yale athletics are not under suitable and responsible sup ervision, have stimulated the Yale auth orities to set ion. It was stated last night that within a few days steps will be taken by the Yale authorities to bring Harvard to terms and either force her to sign a new athletic agreement or seek alliance with other universities than Yale. On the best of authority it is said that Yale athletic leaders will soon place in the hands of the Harvard Ad visory committee, of wheh Professor Ira Holls is chairman, evidence that Ris tine, Kerman and Campbell of the Har vard football eleven last fall cannot fur nish a clean bill as to their amateur standing. It is stated that Yale has proof that Ristine and Karman have played professional baseball. Walter Camp, Yale's athletic adviser, was not in the city last night and could not be seen. Manager Hugh Satterlee of the Yale baseball team said that no arrangement had been made as yet for a game with Harvard and none would be until a new athletic agreement had been arranged. In regard to the statements from Har vard as to the breaking off of athletic relations, he said: "I do not regard them authentic, but as simply the opinions of an individual without authority."

He became convinced that this mighty mysterious power could be utilized to the advantage of ambitious men and women who wished to bettor their con dition in life. To demonstrate ..the cor rectness of his ideas when -he- retired from public life he founMed a college where Hypnotism, Personal Magnetism,. Magnetic Healing, etc., might be taught along the definite lines he had laid down. TThe result is ihat the college has grown to be the largest ot its kind in the world. Thousands of successful students in all parts of the globe are liv ing witnesses to the wonderful power and the great practical benefits to be derived from Dr. Sage's methods.

Next week at the Crawford, will bring another of the Coghlan family to To peka. This time Rose Coghlan. who is B sister of the late Charles Coghlan, will be seen as "Stephanie" in "Forget Me Not" Monday night. "I believe Stephanie In 'Forget Me Not is the most dramatic and strongest work I do," said Miss Rose Coghlan iu Two Star's Who Will Be discussing her interesting and successful career upon the stage. "It has been almost 18 years since I created the leading part of this beauti ful play. In that time I have taken parts in many plays, but none I have actually fallen in love with so thor oughly as with Stephanie. It suits me. It calls for all the power and strength one has to put the required amount of lntenseness into it. I really enjoy the part, although after it is over. I feel the exhaustion contingent upon such exer tion as is required." The gowns whicH Miss Coghlan wears In "Forget Me Not" are beautiful and costly creations. One of her gowns was exhibited at one of the leading exposi tions as the finest work of a famous milliner. Miss Coghlan saw it and im mediately arranged to have one made for herself after the" same pattern. Throughout Miss Coghlan's tour this year her gowns have beei. extravagantly admired and commented upon. Miss Coghlan spends her mornings in ar ranging her gowns, taking the musses' out of them. She always superintends this work herself, not caring to trust this work to a laundress or maid. Next year Miss Coghlan will appear tinder the same management that her tour is being conducted this year, in her brother's last work. "Fortune's Kridge." Before his sudden death in Oalveston last year. Mr. CoghVan was one of the most prominent actors on the American stage, and had admirers in al most every city. Al G. Field and his minstrels have long been favorites in Topeka. They will be heard at the Crawford Tuesday Mr. Field claims that this year h'i3 singers are better than ever. Among the vocalists ar Joseph E. Rlamphin, the famous English tenor, who makes Ms initial appearance before an Ameri can audience with the Field companv. tte nas Deen a prime tavorite in the English capital for the past five years and it required considerable persuasion to induce him to leave the atmosphere of his home surroundings for a brief tour of America. Another importation is that of M. Julian Walsh, the sweet voiced Irifh tenor. Mr. Walsh hails from Dublin and is a graduate of Ire land's famous institution of learning. Trinity college. His voice is exception ally pure and plaintive and he renders a story in song with that simplicity si captivating, which has been allied witH the Irish Eards for generations. Aubrey C. Fringle. the Canadian basso, is a young artist who has won great suc cess and possesses a voice rich and pow erful, with the tonal and poetic qualities of a church organ. The old favorite, the romantic Welsh tenor, Reese Prosser etill remains with the company and is winning his same full measure of pop ularity. It seems the minstrel lovers take Mr. Prosser to their hearts with the firmly established intention' of re taining him there. Master Joe Wallace the phenomenal boy soprano, with five Madrigal boys. are additions to the eincing contingent and their fresh young voices add much sweetness to the round, rousing chorus which is sung by the splendid chorus of 12 voices. The Binging strength cf the Field Minstrels U considerably higher than that of any tfX'ifr &k this IhI other company. A. Fred Aeikens, the phenomenal eontratenor, is the vocal di rector and he has given the concerted numbers particular attention. "A Thoroughbred Tramp" will be at the Crawford Friday and "Aunt j Jerusha" will be the attraction Satur day. THE HUSBAND WAS THESE. Jane Oakei's Joke on a Pair of Wash ington Chappies.

The collegian, who had been present ed a year before, when Miss Oaker was at the national capital in a less Impor tant role, sent a brief note to the lead ing woman asking her to join him m a supper after the show. Miss Oaker accepted the Invitation, on condition that it might be at the Ral eigh, where she was stopping, and that she he allowed to take a friend. "With pleasure." replied the student. "I, too, have a friend, come to think of it. and 1 m sure he d be delighted to loin the party." "Let him come," said Miss Oaker, suavely. The student and his chum hastened to the Raleigh after the performance and were shown to one ol the reception Seen in Topeka Next Week. rooms, where sat Miss Oaker with an other man! "Where's your friend?" asked the stu dent. "Here he is," said Miss Oaker, inno cently. "But but I thought you were going to have another girl," stammered the youth. "Why, how could you possibly have maae such a mistake? the actress re turned, opening her eyes very, very wide. "I never go anywhere without my husband. Allow me Mr. But the collegian had vanished. INHERITED GOODLY OUALITIES Mme. Lillian Nordica Comes From Good Old Mayflower Stock. Mme. Lillian Nordica, who will sing in the Auditorium, on the evening -of March 5, hae had a wonderful career as a vocalist. From the very outset her ca reer meant struggle, indomitable cour age and determination. The history of that career is not one or easy conquest, and instant recogni tion of the kind that rosy imagination ascribes to the successful prima donna. Her Mayflower descent comes through John Tilley, whose wife was a daughter of Governor Carver. Both her father and mother were noted for their vocal accomplishments for 20 years singing in tne choir in local "Old folks concerts" organized in these days. From her mother, Amanda Norton, she inherited the qualities of will and energy that marked the New England character. and from her father, Edwin Norton, who was an idealist, she received the poetic strain. Equipped with these, and her natural voice, she faced the world. Now. at the height of the career she has made ior nerseit, she says: Work means success. If you work five minutes you succeed live minutes worth, but if you worn nve hours your success is com mensurate. Many have in the begin ning as great vocal gilts, plenty have as much natural talent, but I have work- ea. IMPOSSIBILITY OF "EXACTNESS Historical Fashions Not Followed In When Knighthood Was in Flower." Every effort was made to the end that the dressing and Investiture of "When .ivnignthcod Was in Flower" should conform to the customs and costumes of the first 15 years of the sixteenth century. A puzzling situation was met with as regards the underwear worn In that period. Those who. have seen the play will remember that in the second act tne frincess Mary seeks refuge in bed highly S --7 r r UJ j m oraer to escape Henry VLU's impor- tunities that she marry Louis of France. When the king and court burst' into her apartments in Bridewell house they discover her sitting up In bed and garbed in a white night dress. This Is not historically accurate, for when Henry was king, nobody, whether of high or low degree, wore night clothes at all. It will be recalled, too. that Princess Mary in her rage hurls vari ous portions of her wearing apparel at the king and his courtiers. It is all dainty lingerie in pink, white and blue. These garments are not historically ac curate, either, for people in those days wore black underwear, owing to the difficulty of obtaining water and the ex pense of soap. WOULD NOT HAVE "UNCLE TOM" "Ten Nights in a Barroom" Substi tuted at Clarksville, Tenn. At the last moment the Uncle Tom's Cabin company decided to present an other play at Clarksville Friday night, substituting "Ten Nights in a Bar room," but not until after the troupe was roundly roasted. Over S00 signed a petition denouncing the play as a gross slander on the southern people at the time it was writ ten and upon their descendants. Here is some of the printed comment in play at Clarksville: "It is a poor thing, without semblance of truth. It was written some 40 years ago by a fanatical woman, catering to the northern abolition sentiment. It is now out of date, false and mislead ing, and can have no other effect than that of arraying the vicious among the young generation of negroes against the white people, breed dissensions and conflicts, encouraging animosity, riots, criminal assaults and lynchings." .this went on to state the play would arouse race prejudices and cause trouble. The company has just been refused dates at Springfield, where the people arose in revolt. HALE'S BRAIN AFFECTED. Repeated Blows Received in "Ari zona" Causes Blood Clot. Walter Hale, recently with Mary Mannering in "Janice Meredith," and just before that playing "Captain Hodgman" in "Arizona, has gone to the south of France to get rest and re cover his health. During his engagement with "Ari zona" Hale had to submit at every per formance to a blow on the side of the head from the so.Tibrero of Lieut. Den ton. This recurring shock caused a blood clot to form on the left side of his brain and resulted in severe head aches and final incapacity for work. A physician in St. Paul properly diag nosed the case and applied a remedy that would absorb the clot. At one time Mr. Hale feared he would have to retire to a sanitarium, but the St. Paul physician's treatment saved him from that. NAT GOODWIN'S MEMORY. Was Certain Ho Had Met His Barber Before. Nat Goodwin believes that he has a keen faculty for remembering people and their names, and is so proud of it that he Is much chagrined by his rare lailure to "place people he has met be fore. A few evenings since, in a Broad way cafe, his attention became riveted upon a well-dressed man sitting at a table a short distance away. "There's a man whose face is as fa miliar to me as though I had seen him but yesterday," remarked the comedian to his friends, "but for the life of me I cannot place him in my memory." None of the party remembered ever having seen the stranger before, and Mr. Goodwin, after worrying over the thing and cudgeling his brain for a time, could stand the suspense no longer and went over to the stranger. fardon me, sir, said the actor in his most polite- tones, "but I feel as if I knew you well. So stupid of me in for getting your name. I am Mr. Goodwin 'Nat' Goodwin and I trust your memory is better than mine and that you can recall where we have met." "Certainly. Mr. Goodwin." replied the stranger with a profound bow. "I have the first chair at s- shop up here on Broadway. I shaved you yesterday." Ah, so you did; so you did." replied the co-nedian in far-away tones. "I am glad I met you again." Theatrical Notes. Tim Mumhv is reoorted to be buvine oil land in Texas. A statue of William II.

For un less the vast and overwhelming ma jority finds life good something is wrong society 'is sinful there is deep unrighteousness somewhere. Rev. Da vid Utter, Unitarian, Denver. TRUST IN GOD'S WORD. Do not let any opponent of simple faith in the affirmations of holy scrip ture disturb your peace by expressing doubts on the reliability of the Bible. Take it as it comes to you. Trust its teachings. Turn a deaf ear to all who would defame its integrity and trust worthiness. Rev. John L. Withrow, Pi esby terian, Boston. LOSE SELF IN GOD AND DTTTY. Self must become subordinate to God. The individual must lose sight of his own being and so clothe himself witn ttc spirit of God as to become a unit with the spirit of prophet and sage. What matters it whether future genera tions learn that one has lived? The individual must sink all vainglorious ambition sink it out of sight, and think only of what his duty here on earth should be. Rev. Dr. Ehrenreich, He brew, Philadelphia. OUR SOCIAL LIFE NEEDS CHRIST. There is but little religion in the social world. God is hardly recognized. Christians seem to be ashamed of their professions in society. Jesus Christ is rarely ever the topic of conversation. You do not know who are professors of religion when you get into the social whirl. Christians are not now known by their walk and conversation.

It looks as though the southwest is about to witness thi same kind of a scrp-ble on the part of rival railroad lines ror control of its territory that was seen in Kansas a few years ago.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says: 'Xt looks like poetical justice when one of the very strongest opposers of vaccina tion in the east is strickeif down bsr a severe case of smallpox. And yet there can't be anything very poetical about the unpleasant disease." But It may be that he preferred smallpox to lockjaw. England now publicly and officially denies the charge that she tried to or ganize a coalition in favor of Spain. Lord Cranborne, replying in the house of commons yesterday to a question on the subject of the action of the British ambassador at Washington, Lord Pauncefote, April 14, 1898. said: 1h.e meeting which occurred April 14, 18M. was convened by Lord Pauncefote as dean of the anbassadors, at the verbal suggestion of some of his colleagues. Whatever opinions were expressed by Lord Pauncefote during the discussion, which was of an informal character, were personal to himself and not pur suant to instructions from her maj esty's government. The discussion .re sulted in ah agreement to forward an Identical telegram to their respective governments suggesting a further com munication to the United States On receipt of this message her majesty's government immediately replied by ob-" jecting to the terms of the conimunicu tion.as injudicious. Two days later Lord Pauncefote was informed that her majesty's government had decided to take no action. We, at that time, iiad no information of the attitude of .the German government." SNOW COVERED KANSAS. Kansas Is under a blanket of snow which fell evenly with little drifting and the drouth may" again said "to have been broken." There was no cold wave accompanying he precipitation and stock will not suffer. -neither will the fruit or wheat be injured. In fact that storm which extended pretty generally over the state can safely be said to be worth millions to Kansas. Whether the snow stays on the ground for a week or whether the sun's ravs send it into the earth sooner it will b of vast benefit to the farmer and ranch men and to many towns throughout the state where water is so badly needed. Citixens of the cast are invited to come west, not to drouthy Kansas, but to a land where corn and wheat cover the thousand hills and vales in their season and cattle and bogs that are of the best ere also raised. The prospects today in Kansas are as fr right as the farmer and Etockraiser conld ask for and when the farmer pros pers the residents of the cities have lit tle to complain of. Kansas is on her good behavior again and ready to boast ft trifle. THAT TWINE PLANT. Following the instructions of a resolu tion adopted by the Retail Implement Dealers' association of Kansas a few weeks ago, D. W. Blaine'of Pratt, has prepared a two column letter to the warden and directors of the state peni tentiary, asking that they announce definitely and at once the price, they propose to ask for penitentiary binding twine the coming season, and further demanding that it shall not be sold at a loss. Mr. Blaine demands that in order to ascertain the cost the directors shall figure on the cost of fiber, freight charges to the penitentiary, a. percent age to cover wear and tear of ma chinery, board of prisoners employed in making the twine, oil 'used in run ning the plant, interest on the money invested, and the cost of distributing to retail dealers. On top of, this he asks that the retail dealers be allowed to add a net profit of ten per cent when they sell fdrcash and an additional five per cent when they sell on time. In support of these demands Mr. Blaine sets forth the allegation that the penitentiary plant -last summer sold twine below what the implement deal ers could afford to sell "trust" twine for, and because the 'penitentiary plant made- but one-fifth enough to supply the state and the dealers had to sell the other four-fifths, it mpde. dis satisfaction between the dealers and their customers because the, dealers could not meet the prices charged for state twine. Mr. Blaine also criticises the action of the legislature in establishing the state plant and calls it a big mistake. He claims that there is no trust in the manufacture of binding twine, but in the control of the sisal from which it is manufactured, and that the penitentiary plant is at the mercy of that trust the same as the other twine manufacturers. Mr. Blaine is quite likely correct in stating that the dealers in trust twine cannot meet the prices on penitentiary twine. It is also probable that it has created trouble In some instances be tween the dealer and the consumer. But it should be remembered that the plant was not established for the purpose of helping a certain class of dealers make money, but to break the power of at least an alleged twine trust In Kansas and furnish employment to penitentiary convicts. Mr. Blaine's statement as to a bind ing twine trust may be correct, but be cannot make the grain growers of Kan sas forget that results were accomplish ed just the same. The year before the penitentiary plant was established the farmers were compelled to pay 14 to 16 cents a pound for their twine. The first year the penitentiary plant sold twine the price was only 11 cents, while in Oklahoma, where the penitentiary twine could not go, the price- was 18 cents. Last year the penitentiary twine brought the price down an Kansas to 8 cents and the saving to the farmers of the state on ,bindijig twine for the wheat crop alone was approximately $400,000. Every farmer who has had to buy twine Tor the past three years re alizes the difference in the price and the penitentiary plant will receive the credit for the. saving, notwithstanding any statements' that there is no binding twine trust. And the people of the state will doubtless approve of the peniten tiary plant selling its product as low as it can consistently. LESSONS OF VALENTINE DAY. The American people have habits: good, bad and indifferent. The so-called "comic valentine" seems to be one of the bad, very bad habits, but it is fast giving way to good breeding. The sending of the so-called comic valentines is supposed to be a childish pastime. It has sometimes .been adopt ed by adults, however, as a means once a year of back-biting persons who are subjects of their criticisms. The sending of anonymous letters is conceded by ev. eryone to be a cowardly thing to- do but some who would not stoop to the sending of such letters will, however, invest in the scurrilous and vulgar lith ographs holding people up to ridicule under the safety of not being discov ered. Why not send some pleasing bit of sentiment, an encouraging suggestion, a commendation for some good deeds done and try and throw a ray of brightness across the person's life and In doing so be a gentleman and a good Samaritan instead of a coward? It would make the sender better, for certainly the attack on a person's feelings' with a comic val entine a weapon leaves the sender less of a man after ail. CHECK THE FTBE FIEND. Newspapers of last Monday contained accounts of several great conflagrations In part of the country where it would be expected their results should not be so frightful In the loss' of human life and property and in the human suffering. For hours in the city of Paterson, N. J., there raged on Sunday a fierce confla gration which by- its terrible greed ate up substance of one kind and another valued at eight or ton million dollars. Fire-fighters turned out in force and spent vain, but none the less valiant ef forts to stay the flames. Reinforce ments came from other places and lent their services with equal eagerness to beating back the fire. At St. Louis early In the morning of the same day eleven people perished in the destruction of a hotel, others being obliged to fle for their lives into the bitter cold of the day received injuries that will never be charged up in the known lists of sufferings or casualties. Monday, the plant formerly owned by the manufacturers of a great reaper. went up in smoke a- Springfield, Ohio, Other blazes of miner consequence oc curred at other places. There should be some way of getting at this business and preventing the re currence of conflagrations so costly in every way. To say that fire must be done away with Is, of course, foolish. But on the other band, it seems the proposition should be handled from the point of building cities that would greatly minimize their number and ex tent. There, should be such rules enforced as would not allow it to get a start. Then in case of danger from fire there should be other condi tions covering the phase of a possl bility by which any spread would be out of the question. The lesson of the St. Louis disaster should be the arrangement of tenement houses and hotels whereby the occupants would have the least trouble in finding exits during a time of excitement and poriL They should have the matter brought to their attention in such a way that they would know what to do for themselves and those about them In an emergency. Then, if the departments of the cities were properly trained there would be not the least cause of complaint. With all the destruction by fire which ia going on, Topeka has reason to con gratulate itself upon the excellent show ing which Chief Wilmarth's annual re port given out Thursday, shows. The decrease in the losses over 1900 is in the neighborhood of $10,000. The total loss was $24,649.16, a figure which is surpris ingly low when everything is taken into consideration. Of course Topeka is not as big as St. Louis, but its popula tion is nearly half that of Paterson and with a force of firemen numbering only about one-third as many. What makes the comparatively small loss of Topeka all the more reason for gratification is the fact that most of it was covered by insurance. THE CITT PHYSICIAN. C E. Judd. the man who occupies the job but not the office of city physician, has not demanded any more corrections on the charges of gross extravagance which were made against him some days ago by the State Journal. Ap parently the doctor has nothing fur ther to say. He has exhausted his de fense. If Dr. Judd has anything to say for himself he should be given the floor. He should be expelled by the council only after a chance to defend himself. If he can justify himself for spending $3,000 more from June to January than his predecessor did during the correspond ing eight months of the previous year, he should be heard. If he can tell any good reason why he spent $1,360.95 in the month of October, 190V and his pre decessor spent $385.55 for October, 1900, he is entitled to a hearing. If he has any excuse for squandering hundreds of dollars in a pestilential, scourge-breeding city dump, after the council had ordered hiia to cease wasting the city's money, now is the time for him to talk. When Mr. Judd has had anything to say in his own behalf, the State Jour nal fcas printed it as cheerfully as it has printed the evidence upon which the people of Topeka have condemned his administration It has even printed the violent personal abuse to which the doctor" resorted when he was driven face to face with the cold facts about his extravagant manipulation of the city finances. No doubt the columns of other newspapers in the city would be open to Mr. Judd if toe dared to take advantage of them to deny the charge of extravagance. He has never entered a denial. Perhaps Mr. Judd expects to shoulder off the responsibility for the $3,000 waste on the other members of the board. It would not be unexpected. People have come to expect a good deal from Mi". Judd, and they usually get It. But the ordinances of the city impose great con fidence in the city physician, even if the people do not. It is In his power to regulate the health affairs almost witn- out assistance. It Is distinctly provided that he is the executive officer of the board, and can enforce ordinances at his discretion. Mr. Judd has evidently felt the need of much assistance, how ever, for he has had a meeting of the board of health every week, at $10 per meeting, and has thus made the other members of the board parties to his action as far as possible. It is no argument on behalf of Mi'. Judd to say that the health of the city is better than last year, or there is not the prevalence of contagious disease. Reports for the whole state show ex actly the same conditions prevail every where. Kansas is healthy this year. In 1900 it was overrun with s.-nallpox and other pestilence. Topeka is simply sharing in the benefits of a healthy sea son. No credit is due Dr Judd for cli matic conditions. Plenty of things might be said about Dr. Judd and his admiristration that have not-been said. It ia possible that some of these things will be Introduced In evidence at some future time. M'NEAL AND MILLIONAIRES Tom McNeal, the Kansas humorist, must have fallen from grace. When the Populists found fault with the million aires he was one of the men who held them up to ridicule. Now this same merry orator tas been stirred because a New York millionaire presented his daughter-in-law with a $150,000 diamond ornament. Mr. McNeal is right when he says that the money would better have been spent to relieve the hunger and misery in New York only it sounds queer coming from Mr, McNeal. His editorial which was pub lished in the Mail and Breeze is worth reading and is herewith reproduced: There was a marriage of the son of a millionaire in New York the other day. We notice among the list of presents to the bride some sort of a diamond orn ament whose value was estimated at $lf.0,000. The groom was also presented by his uncle with a yacht worth we sup pose a quarter of a million dollars, may be a good deal more. The diamond ornament is to be worn we suppose by the bride. At the time this $150,000 present was being given we suppose there were ten thousand people at the least calculation in the city of New York who were hung ry and who hadn't the price of a meal. We haven't a doubt that at the very hour the fond millionaire uncle was be stowing the right and title to that yacht on his nejihew there were ten thousand sick, starved children in the city, crowd ed into miserable tenements filled with disease and poverty. We have no doubt that at the time the bride was admiring her $130,000 dia mond cluster there were more than twice ten thousand people in the city of New York to whom a warm meal would have seemed like a gift from heaven and a warm suit of cheap clothing a luxury beyond their wildest dreams. And why should any woman old or young want a personal ornament that costs $150,000? The wearing of diamonds merely for display smacks of barbarism. The sav age belle hangs a pearly ring in her nose and a couple more in her ears and thinks she is about 'the warmest thing that ever came along the path. The civilized maiden turns up her little nose at her savage sister and says the spec tacle of the maiden from Borneo Is positively disgusting. What is the dif ference except in degree between the savage maiden who hangs rings in her nose and in her ears and the millionaire belle of modern civilization who covers her outer garments with diamonds and other precious stones? The savage maiden and her civilized sister are both wearing their jewelry for display. But we have no objection to the wear ing of diamonds in itself. What we are asking ourself is this: Has any man a right, a moral right we mean, to make a present of a diamond cluster, worth $150,000 when there are men and wo men and children within gun shot of him who are suffering for want of food and clothing and who are sick for want of proper shelter and care? Has any woman a moral right to wear for mere ornament a cluster of diamonds worth, $150,000 when there is want and misery -within sound of her voice that money would relieve? $150,000 would buy good warm suits of clothes, hats, shoes and all, for 15,000 men and children. $150,000 would buy 750,000 meals better in quality and quantity than the poor of New York ever see. Sometime there will be sentiment among civilized men and women that will make them ashamed to loll in lux ury and deck themselves with baubles like Indian rajas when close by their own doors there are men and women and children whose faces are pinched with want and whose eyes are hollow and lusterless from suffering. In discussing the recent bank failure at Detroit brought about by Vice Presi dent Andrews the Grand Rapids Herald says: "Where the million and a half went to is not a mystery. Andrews was on the wrong side of the copper market, and it appears that the bank backed him. He was largely Interested in various promotion schemes, and the bank backed him. He was a plunger in real estate and the bank backed him. He posed as a capitalist, dazzled the populace with his dashing enterprise and made the old financiers of Detroit wink both eyes with his big deals, and the bank backed him. And now be is the hero of a failure that sums up Into the millions and no longer able to back him, the bank seems to be mostly a wreck. Things will end this way some times when Napoleonic talents are con fronted, with a demand for a show down." TJp to this time no announcement has been received indicating that Lord Rob erts has paid back the -money voted him for ending the war in South Africa. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. You can get encouragement in many a town where you can't get a dollar. If a girl is really in love, she can be coaxed to be marrscd by a strange pastor. A real old-fashioned cook has greater contempt lor a dinner served in courses than tor anything else in the world.. Here is the trouble with most peo ple: Too much conceit, and too lfttla common fairness and everyday oon esty. If a man wants to die a noble death, let him commit suicide by going to ail tne parties his wife wants Aim to at tend, and eat what she eats. When a girl works down town all week, her idea of a good time on Sun day is to wash her hair, and have some neighbor girl come in to gossip with her while it dries. "I can't amount to anything." an Atchison drunkard said. "So much of my time is taken up listening to good advice, that I have no time left in which to work. Every man in town wants to speak to me, at regular in tervals, and show me the folly of my way, and I have no time left for any thing else." The most miserable men in this town are loafers. Notice the loafers you meet, They look timid, as if expecting to be run in for vagrancy. When they sit down in an office or store, they know that their room is better than their company. Don't be a loafer. Men can't stand it. Women can, but men cannot. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The hair-raising story is the kind that ought to appeal to the bald-headed man. Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and others thrust themselves upon It. When the weather man predicts a storm and it turns up he feels that he ought to have his salary raised. Blobbs "Are" you going to do pen ance during Lent? SlobBs "Well, j expect to go to church every Sunday.' "Are you sure you love me for my self alone?" asked the romantic young woman. "Well," replied the practical young man,. "I don't think I love you for anyone else. Wigg "That messenger boy is the slowest thing alive. I wonder what will become of him when he grows up. Wagg "Maybe he will develop into a great chess player. Sillicus "People who lose their money are always complaining to their friends about it." Cynicus "Nonsense! Peo ple who lose their money never have any friends left. In Lenten time my lady fair Gives up her pleasures free. And now I find, to my despair, She's going to give up me. Kelly "Oi read a foine book last noight. 'Twas full or roigr.tin a man named CooDer wrote it." Reilly "Sure, Oi know that book. It's called 'The Last of Thim O'Higgins.' Love is a game where hearts are trumps. And players must be slick, For love is blind, and oft you'll find That diamonds take the trick. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Long engagements have no earthly charm for a young widow. A fool is to be pitied, but a hypocrite deserves a swift kick. The warmth of a woman's love is only exceeded by that of her temper. Usually when a man starts on the downward road the brake refuses to work. A straight ticket doesn't necessarily indicate that all the candidates are straight. The nearer a girl approaches, the age of 30 the more anxious she is to lose her self-possession. It is a difficult matter to convince some married men that there are two sides to every question. It makes a woman angry if she Is un able to interest a man and If he is in terested she loses Interest in himv When an immovable object is struck by an Irresistible force the result is the same as an argument between two wo men. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.l Talk ia so cheap that it is the only thing in this world you don't have to buy. When it is a Question of advice no body will play the game of follow the leader. There are several thousand roads that lead Into trouble and not one that leads oilt. Everv dollar that a man lends Is a dollar invested In getting information about the man you lend It to. A man's views on the excise question sound somewhat different at home with his wife listening from what they are in a downtown barroom. BOOK KQTES. A notable work has lust been Issued by the University of Chicago Press. Its author, Maxime Kovalevsky. formerly professor of public law at the university of Moscow, became connected with the university oi Chicago tnrougn nis ap Dointment as an incumbent of the re cently founded lectureship on Russia in stitutions. .It is the lectures thus given that are now offered to the general public In book form. Up to this time the standard work on Russia for English-speaking peoples has been Macken zie Wallace's volume. The aim of Pro fessor Kovalevsky's book differs widely. Instead of aiming "to convey a general idea of the country and people" (as Wallace phrases his object), it Is essen tially expository the history or an evo lution. This history has never before been written in English. The author's task hasjbeen "to give a bird's-eye view of the internal development of Russia." In pursuit of this purpose the book treats of the making of Russia, its com plex ethnology and early political vicis situdes, the development of Muscovite institutions, the reforms of Peter the Great and Catherine II., and the var ious reforms of Alexander II., with two final chapters on the past and present position in the Russian Empire of the much disputed territories of Finland and Poland. The greatest comparative space is devoted to the period of Alex ander II., the liberal czar whose assas sination brought about so serious a. re action in the great empire. And it is the chapters dealing with Alexander's reforms which will most interest the general reader. In the main, the book is one for the student and the scholar, in a much more intimate sense than is, for instance. Professor Bryce's American Commonwealth. But the sections deal ing with the emancipation or tne sens, local self-government, and, especially, the universities and the press, will be fniinil to contain matter not only not elsewhere accessible, but of universal interest.

Henry Loomis Nelson, the distin guished political writer, opens the Feb ruary Atlantic with an appreciative ar ticle on "Three Months of Theodore Roosevelt." in which he critically ex amines the events of the first three mdnths of the new administration in the light of President Roosevelt's well known character and characteristics. He sees very much to praise in what has already been accomplished, and boldly prophesies that the president "will influence for good the politics of the country, help the blind to see the value of public chastity, and the deaf to hear the voices of the people greet ing unselfish service in their behalf." Mr. Thomas E. Watson calls his new book "Napoleon: A Sketch of His Life, Character. Struggles and Achieve ments." He approaches his Subject from a popular and democratic point of view, using the word democratic in its broadest sense. Napoleon's personality is studied rather than his campaigns, and his political system, his laws, insti tutions and civil administration 4 are considered by Mr. Watson as his "most important and enduring work, and his attempt to reconcile modern liberalism with the absolutism of a divine right is looked upon as his fatal mistake. So long as Napoleon was the soldier and the organizer of liberalism as typified in the best work of the French Revolu tion, Mr. Watson holds that he received the support of the French nation, and also the sympathy of the nations of Eu rope; but his downfall began when he came to terms with the Pope and put France again under the heel of Rome, created a new hereditary nobility and married the daughter of the Austrian Emperor. Here, says Mr. Watson, Na poleon's system changed, and he shift ed his supports from rock to sand. Mr Watson enforces hi opinions with much spirit and with his already well known power of language and style. The book is published by the Macmillan company.
