Seer et Meeting Held and Terms Agreed Upon. SUIT IS THREATENED. Mr. Spencer to Move on Enemy If Oiler is Refused. Acceptance Would Necessitate New Bond Election. The city council mteting in committee of the whole last night, decided to of fer for the city waterw oiks. Tins meeting was to have been held Friday j evening, but when this plan, supposedly tecret was announced in Wednesdays State Journal. City Attorney Spencer hastily summoned the eouncilmen to gether and finished up the business in a short meeting last night. Under the terms of the agreement reached at last night's meeting, which va.s secret, the water company must accept the city's offer- of $"r.0,o00 before June 1, or the city will bring suit to test the validity of the water company's franchise. At the meeting of the council to be held Monday evening, a written report will be submitted to the council by City Attorney Spencer, and at that time the council will take official action on the matter. There is little doubt that the informal decision of the council to offer $.j,"0,0';0 for the plant will be ratified, and the city attorney instructed to com municate the offer to the water com pany. If the water company decides to ac cept the city's offer of $.0.000 for the plant, the city council will then call a special election to vote bonds to that amount. On the other hand, if the of fer is refused, the attorneys for the city wiil bring suit to ascertain whether or not the water company haj forfeited its fra nchise. The city claims that at the present time, the water company is operating in Toneka only by sufferance. It claims that the 20 year franchise, granted on September 7, lbsl. has expired, and that the franchise ordinance is invalid in so far as it pledges the city to renew this franchise for a 20 year period. It is claimed that the city council of 1S81 could not bind the city council of l'J2 i to any such action. The ordinance under which the water J nes :i-,v!-ai ii an' ft iuiiump. "The city of Topeka hereby agrees and obligates itself, after 20 years from the completion of said works, to ex tend the franchise herein granted to said company for the further term of 20 years, or to acquire and become sole owner of said works, including all ex tensions and enlargements thereof, and everything of every nature and descrip tion belonging and pertaining thereto, on paying therefor a fair and equitable value, to be ascertained, if the parties can not agree thereon, by the district court of Shawnee county upon the pe tition of the city, and in such manner us the court may determine; and in case the city shall not purchase and be come tiie owner of said waterworks at the end of the first 20 years as herein provided, then and in that case it shal1 in like manner be required to purchase the same at the expiration of the sec ond, third and fourth 20 years, or to extend the franchise to said company at the enil of each of said terms for the next 20 years." If the city should proceed under this ordinance, without acquiring possession of the plant, it would virtually give to the water company a 100-year franchise in the city of Topeka. lilt SPENCER TALKS. City Attorney Spencer said this morning-, in speaking of the results and pur poses of the meeting: "The meeting was called eiinesday afternoon at the re quest of Councilman Howe and Coun cilman I'.eigundthal. Mr. Howe was planning to be out of town on Friday, and therefore wanted the time changed to last night. We had no desire to take snap judgment on the council, but it was deemed best to hold the meeting last night instead of Friday night. "The council had evidently decided what it wanted to do in the matter. There was not much discussion, and the vote to offer the water company $350,000 was unanimous." "If the company rejects the offer.what -will be done?" was asked. "The city will commence proceedings to determine what rights the water company has in Toreka. of course we hold that the water company is con 1 inning to do business in Topeka simply because it is here. The law which was in force in lm when the franchise was granted distinctly prohibited any such agreement for a renewal of the fran chise as was provided for in that ordi n a nee. Here Mr. Spencer got down a law book, and read the following extract lrom the law governing waterworks transactions of cities of the first class et the. time the waterworks franchise was granted: -Provided further, that such contract shall not extend for a longer period than 20 years, and shall not be reg ranted or renewed unless by consent of a ma jority ot tlie qualified voters of such citv to be ascertained at an election to be held for that purpose." Mr. Silencer continued: "The laws stiil provide that the city can not grant o franchise for a longer period than 20 years. I do not tare to state iust now the exact nature of the proceedings v hicli we wiil commence, provided tl offer is not accepted by June 1. but the object of the proceedings will be to de termine the rights of the waterworks company in the city of Topeka." The council meeting last night was called late yesterday afternoon, and on ly eight members of tile council were present. Counciimen Blossom. Chanev Ciriley and Wolf were all absent. Cha nty and Blossom were out of the city, but the meeting was set for last night Just the same. The offer of $30.000 which the citv has made Is $(,2,000 more than the value of the plant as appraised by Kngineer Pol len, and is $148,000 less than the value as appraised by Kngineer Cole. Follett was hired by the city, and Cole by the water company, and their estimates were $230,000 apart. Kngineer Foilett and Kngineer Cole Rjreed that the plant could be duulica- tf'cl for $!!il.oo0 -with new machinery. En gineer Follett deducted SDl.OoO for de preciation, and added $68,000 for the going- value, making a total appraisement of $4i;s.ow. Engineer Cole deducted only $11,000 for depreciation, and added $218,000 for the going value, making a total of $698, 000. City Attorney Spencer nas asked to day whether he thought the water com pany would accept the $r50.000 offer. I haven't the remotest idea," he said. "All I know is that if they do not ac cept before June 1, we will begin suit." ROOT SAILS FOB CUBA. Secretary of War Will Take a Look at the Situation. New York, April 17. Secretary Root started for Cuba today on the steam ship Ksperanza. Discussing his trip he said: "I am going down to look over the field and lay plans for the withdrawal of our troops from the island on May 20. There is no great significance in c f

v ELIHU ROOT. my trip. I want to be on the ground and see for myself just what the situa tion demands before I jssue the final orders." The secretary would not discuss the prospects of the new Cuban govern ment. "I am not prophesying," he said. "My function ends with carrying out the or ders of the government to withdraw our troops and leave everything in as good condition as possible for the new Cuban government to take control." Mr. Root would not discuss his order to Gen. Chaffee to court martial Gen. Jacob Smith. "I have said all I intend to on that subject in my order to Gen. Chaffee." he said. "Some of the courts marital will be held in this country because the i oi-ne" f s f "Pi which witnesses are neede have been brought home and it wiil be much easier to secure the evi dence wanted here than in Manila. I cannot now sav whether any of the of tlcesr against whom charges have been preferred will be tried in Manila." SWIFT. BURGLARS. They Rob 3 Mouses in Rapid Succession Securing $2,000. Peoria, 111., April 17. Professional burglars accomplished three of the most daring robberies' ever known in the state of Illinois this morning when the residences of Flavel Shurtleff, George H. Littlewood and Dr. George T. Gray were entered between 3 and 4 o'clock and upwards of $2,000 in money and jewelry was taken by them. The two latter burglaries were committed after the police had been notified and were in the near vicinity of the first. "While going through the house of Shurtleff and Littlewood, the burglars were discovered, but kept their victims at bay with revolvers and talked to them. Air. Littlewood is troubled with heart dis -ase and one of the robbers brought him a drink of water while the other watched with a gun. As the bur glars were leaving the Gray residence Dr. Gray fired several shots at them. Mrs. Shurtleff also fired several shots in the air to hurry their departure. The police have no clew. ill COflGBESS' HANDS. Postponement of World's Fair Still Under Discussion. St. Louis, April 17. Secretary W. B. Stevens of the Louisiana Purchase Ex position company was asked today if the world's fair management had offi cial cognizance of Senator Allison's amendment to the sundry civil appro priation bill authorizing the postpone ment of the exposition to 1904. "We have no information." he said, "except what is contained in the un official reports from Washington. The question of postponing the fair, as President Francis has stated, has not been submitted to the board of direct ors, and it is my belief that it will not be at tiie present time. "Of course if congress takes the initiative and votes for the postpone ment the local management will neces sarily have to accept that decision and act accordingly." J. L.

When the Yietim Was Full It Was Pressed Out By Rubbing: of the Operator's Fists Over His Stomach. BURNING OF A TOWN. Men, Women and Children Driven Out of Their Homes. Another Town of 12,000 Inhab itants Destroyed. Washington, April 17. Kdward J. Davis, of Greenfield, Mass.. who was a sergeant in company M, Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry, was before the sen- j ate committee on the Philippines today, j He was present in the convent at Ig- j baras, November 27, 1900, when the "water cure" was administered to the presidente of the town of Igbaras, as testified to by Sergeant Riley and Pri vate Smith, and related the incidents connected therewith. He was sworn before being examined, and was questioned by Senator Raw lins. He spoke of the arrival of the reg ulars under the command of Captain Glenn. He said that under orders from Captain Glenn he with a squad had taken the presidente into custody on November 27 and had escorted him to the convent, where the "cure" was ad ministered. He repeated the story of the torture of the presidente, adding some details. The man was, he said, about 40 years of age. When he was taken into the convent he was asked to give informa tion as to whether runners had been sent out to notify the insurgents of the arrival of the scouts in the towrn. Re fusing to do this, the water detail, con sisting of two privates of the Eigh teenth infantry, was ordered by Cap tain Glenn to strip him. The man's clothing was removed above the waist and his hands tied behind him. when the cure was administered by this de tail. "He was then," the witness said, "taken to the water tank and thrown upon his back, and while an interpreter stood over him a stream of water was directed into his mouth, which was held open." "Who gave the command for this treatment?" "Captain Glenn." "How was the man's mouth kept open?" "By means of a stick, but I could not see just how it was done." Continuing the witness said that when the victim was filled with water the members of the detail would force it out of him by rolling their fists over his stomach, and that the process was kept up for about 10 minutes. He described the second application of the cure as previously testified to and corroborated Sergeant Riley in the state ment that the details of this perform ance were under the charge of Contract Surgeon Lyons and that capt. Glenn and Lieutenant Conger were both pres ent when it occurred. Mr. Davis said in reply to questions as to the physical effect of the process that the man "squealed" terribly and that his eyes were bloodshot, but that the next day he was able to mount his horse and lead the scouts to the moun tains. Afterward he was. the witness said, taken to Iloilo and placed in prison. The witness also repeated the state ment that two police officers of the town of Igbaras had been subjected to the water cure. "There was," he added, "also a native school teacher there who was maltreated at the same time but the water cure was not administered to him. He was taken into one of the back rooms of the con vent by Dr. Lyons who secured the in formation he wanted from him by plac ing two Colts revolvers to his head, thus rendering 'it unnecessary to administer the cure.' "Did vou see this?" "I did"." Mr. Davis also gave the details of the burning of the town of Igbaras which he said contained about 1,000 people but no business place. All except about 15 houses were destroyed and men, women and children were forced out indiscrim inately. Senator Burrows: "Who gave the or der to burn the town?" The w itness: "Capt. Glenn." "To whom did he give it?" "Lieutenant Conger. He told the lieu tenant to burn the town." "Did vou hear him?" "I did." "Did he say why it should be "burned "He did not." The witness also said that a neighbor ing town containing aboiC 12,000 people had been burned, but that he did not know who had given the order for its destruction. He stated in reply to a question that the torture in all the instances men tioned bad been conducted by regular soldiers, and that they had not been participated in by the members of his regiment, the Twenty-sixth volun teers. "My orders were," he said, "to treat the natives kindly, and so far as I ob served the soldiers generally so treated them with the exceptions I have men tioned." He added that the presidente had been a traitor to the American cause, and that the other natives did not gen erally seem to have any sympathy for them. Mr. Davis said he had been in charge of a detachment of 15 men in the town of Igbaras for several months before the arrival of the regulars and also for some time afterward, and that he had naver had any trouble what ever with the nativ". He had talked with the regular soldiers about the water cure and had been given to un derstand that its administry on was not of rare occurrence, but said they had not given names of persons or places. He replied to Senator Lodge that he knew of the murder of several of the members of company F of his regiment by natives at another point, but it had been his understanding that they were killed by ladrones rather than by the town authorities, as Col. Dickman had reported. Temperatures of Large Cities. Chicago.

Telephone Workers 'Will Try to Get "Hello" Girls Out. Pittsburg, April 17. The strike of the linemen employed by the local tele graph and telephone companies is as suming a threatening attitude and causing local business a great deal of trouble. Only two concerns have signed the scale. The other companies are im porting men, and this has stirred the strikers to a fighting pitch, with the re sult that within the past two days IS of them have been placed under arrest on charges of disorderly conduct. The linemen say that unless their demands are complied with and the new scale signed by the telephone companies an attempt will be made to get the central girls to quit work. JEFFRIES-CORBETT. Battle Ret ween Champion and Pompadour Arranged. New York, April 17. James J. Corbett, former champion pugilist, received a telegram from his brother, Harry, at San Francisco todav. notifying him that a match, between Corbett and Jeffries had been arranged, and all that remain ed to make the contract absolute was the disposition of a few minor details. It is expected that the match will take place some time in September. Corbett was preparing to start for San Fran cisco to try to arrange a fight with Jef fries, but his message from his brother made this step unnecessary. He will do light work in Wood's gymnasium for a few w-eeks, and then will go to- Bayside, L. I., where he recently purchased a house. Corbett said today that he would im mediately organize a staff of trainers and sparring partners, and put himself in readiness for any kind of a battle Jeffries might be able to put up. He seemed pleased at the ease with which the negotiations had been brought to a definite basis. Nothing is known as to where the fight will take place. It is expected that papers will be signed and forfeits posted at once. The proposed fight recalls the last battle in which the two heavy weights were opposed, and in which Cor bett lost his opportunity to regain the championship by a blow in the twenty third round. It was voted one of the prettiest exhibitions of pugilistic skill ever seen. MORGAN TALKS CANAL Almost Forgotten Subject Re vived in the Senate. Washington, April 17. Soon after the senate convened today a bill authorizing the county commissioners of Crow Wing county, Minn., to construct a bridge across the Mississippi river between Pine River and Dean Brook, was passed. The resolutions offered by Mr. Culber son (Tex.) directing -the secretary ot war to send to the senate a statement of money paid by the United States on account of the Philippine commission and a statement of the amount of money expended for sending troops to the Phil ippines and for their maintenance, were agreed to. Mr. Morgan (Ala.), chairman of the committee on Isthmian canals, at the conclusion of routine business, addressed the senate upon the Hepburn bill pro viding for a Nicaraguan canal. He assumed, in beginning, that the senate was convinced of the indispensa ble character of a canal that it was a national necessity and that it was only a choice of methods and a comparison j of national advantages which was left j to decide "all questions of financial abil I ity, of private interests, of political bias I havingbeenrelegated to the rear bveom mand of a free, honest and powerful people. It is to reach the logical results j that should follow the actual merits of i the claim of either canal route, in decid j ing the preference, that I will try to nresent an outline of the mieuiort5 that now require discussion." Mr. Morgan said the object could be stated in six propositions: Investigation was complete and noth ing could be gained by delay; it was a choice of two routes Panama and Ni caragua; the controlling factors were the success of construction and the best interests of the "United States: the con trol of selection should not be affected, ail things considered on account of ex pense say within a limit of $50,000,000; the practicability of constructing the Nicaragua canal was beyond a shadow of doubt and within the estimates: if the Rohio dam at Panama should fail the only hope of a canal would perish while the failure of one dam on the San Juan river would mean construc tion at another point. Mr. Morgan said none of the three commissions had expressed a doubt or apprehension as to the Nicaragua route. The supplemental report of the last commission in favor of the Panama was based upon a supposed gain to the gov ernment in cost of $5,630,704. Mr. Morgan spoke of the clouds of doubt concerning the Panama route. He said the political conditions of Nicara gua and Costa Rica were more favora ble than those of Colombia. He sail the commission had no authority to ac cept an offer from the Panama com pany. RUHLIN'S FORFEIT. Puts $10,000 in Smith's Hands to Bind Match With Sharkey. New York, April 17. Al Smith yester day received from Billy Madden the largest forfeit of his career as a stake holder. Madden posted with him $10. 000 in cash to bind a match for Gus Ruhlin with Tom Sharkey. Smith says this is the largest sum he has ever re ceived to bind a match. Madden says the dersit is to go, as suggested by Sharkey, as a side bet for a 25 round battle or for a fight to a finish. Mad den, in speaking of the forfeit, said: "The $lo,ooo up with Smith can go as a side bet, and we will agree to fight for this sum in private or battle for a purse in England. America.or anywhere suitable to Sharkey. Ruhlin is satisfied to box Sharkey in England the first part of the ftstie carnival, and will consent to let the winner meet Bob Fitzsim mons. Ruhlin will face Kid McCoy if he covers the forfeit before Sharkey does." When Sharkey was seen he said: "I am glad that Ruhlin's money is up, and I wish to say that I w ill see Al Smith and cover it at once. I mean bus iness, and am ready to box Ruhlin or anybody else, but I do not propose to fight for nothing." TIlOrMSJiSOSEil. Former Topeka Man Elected Bishop of New Diocese. Rev. X. S. Thomas, Son of Late Bishop Thomas, Named. WILL LIVE AT SALINA. Western Kansas Included in His Jurisdiction. Was Formerly in Charge of Church of Good Shepherd. Cincinnati, April 17. Rev. Nathaniel S. Thomas, rector of the Holy Apostles church, Philadelphia, was this morning elected by the house of bishops of the Episcopal church to be missionary bishop of the district of Salina, western Kansas being included in his jurisdic tion. This was the principal business of the meeting. Missionary bishops were also elected for Honolulu, Porto Rico and Mexico. This meeting is an adjourned session of the house of bishops recently held in San Francisco. The meeting opened with a celebra tion of the holy communion at Christ church this morning. Immediately af terwards the bishops went into execu tive session. Bishop Clark of Rhode Island being too feeble to attend, Bish op Dudley of Louisville presided. Fifty of the SO American bishops are present, including some from distant missionary fields. Many prominent rectors and laymen are also present. Nathaniel Seymour Thomas is a son of the late Rt. Rev. E. S. Thomas, sec ond bishop of Kansas, and was for sev eral years a resident of Topeka in charge of the Church of the Good Shepherd in North Topeka, the position now held by Canon M. J. Bywater. Bishop Thomas will be in charge of the new Kansas diocese. The state was divided at San Francisco last year and the position was left open. The home of the newly elected bishop w-ill be at Salina. This will greatly relieve Bishop Millspaugh, who has had too large a territory. Nathaniel Thomas received a portion of his educational training at Cam bridge college in England. His earlier studies were carried on at Faribault, Minn., and at the University of Min nesota. He was also a graduate of the Kansas Theological college. Bishop Thomas was appointed and served his first rectorship at Leaven worth. Kansas. About four years ago he was sent to Wheeling, West Virginia, and was later sent to Philadelphia. He is 33 years old. Rev. Mr. Thomas was married in June, 1S95. to Miss Edith Prince of Quincy, Illinois. VETO MESSAGE. President Roosevelt Turns Down a Pension Bill. Washington, April 17. The house be gan its session at 11 o'clock today in order to expedite the Cuban reciprocity bill. A veto message was received from President Roosevelt of a bill pension ing Thomas F. Walter, and was re ferred to the committee on invalid pen sions. Consideration of the Cuban reciproc ity bill was resumed, and Mr. Jenkins (Wis.) spoke on the political status of Cuba, maintaining that there would be no suspended sovereignty and that at the present time Cuba was under the political dominion of the United States. Mr. Jenkins opposed the bill because our relations toward Cuba were not such as to permit of the proposed reci procity treaty. Mr. Gaines (W. Va.) also opposed the j bill, declaring that it was unwise. ivir. v arnex i.xii. v no lonoweu. v ita also against the bill. He insisted that the measure was not along Republican lines, and when he declared that at heart a majority of the members on the Republican side were opposed, the Re publican opponents of the bill gave hina a, round of applause. Mr. De Armond (Mo.) made a speech which attracted much attention. He employed his vitriolic comment upon the attitude of members with his ac customed freedom. Calling attention to the fact that members of both sides, whether they opposed or advocated th'j measure justified their course by an ap peal 'to their party principles, he re marked that viewed from these diverse standpoints the measure was indeed a remarkable departure in legislation. He commented upon the statement of Gen. Grosvenor a few days ago that later the high rates of the Dingley law would be reduced and revised by the friends of that act. If the rates were too high he saw no reason why the reduction should not occur now and in this connection he referred sarcastically to the Babcock bill to place steel on the free list. The author had voted against the bill in committee and he intimated gladly that the purpose of its introduction was to hold up tlie steel trust and other kindred trusts for the benetit of his party in the coining campaign. Speaking of the sugar trust he observed that to hear members talk one would think there was nothing so friendless as a trust. "fortunately," said he ironically, "there will be opportunity later on tor members to show by their votes that they have not misrepresented themselves." It was contended, said he. on the other side, that the tariff which had developed the gigantic trusts should be reformed by its friends. "1 think," he exeiaimed. "that the tariff should be reformed by the friends of the American people."' COBURN IN DEMAND. Many Requests For Speeches "Which He Declines. This is the time of year that Secretary Cohurn is beset with invitations from Chautauqua assembly committees to de liver addresses during the summer at their respective assemblies. He always tells them he isn't a public speaker and refers them to Secretary Barnes of the State Horticultural society. The Chautauqua assembly at Beloit has Mr. Coburn billed for a date: a few days ago he was requested to speak at the Win field assembly and yesterday Rev. C. S. Niisbaum came up from Ottawa to ask him to give an address at that assembly. The Ottawa people want to get Mr. Coburn and Secretary W ilson there on the same day and see if they can not start trouble of some kiod MITCHELL PROMOTED. Funston's Cousin is Made a First April 17.

FAIR PEOPLE WILL HELP To Assist Filipinos to Make Exhibit at St. Lot-is. St. Louis, April 17. As a result of Governor General Taft's conference with the executive committee of the world's fair he induced that body to co-operate financially with the Philip pine government in the matter of its exhibit. He declared to the commit tee that its action would have a pro nounced moral effect on the Filipino people, and would do more toward pacification of the islands than repres sive military methods. The executive committee unanimously agreed to as sume a proporition of the expense en tailed by the governor general's plan. On his return to Washington he will submit the agreement to Secretary of War Root for approval. The exact sum appropriated by the exposition company toward the insular exhibit wil not be known until after the approval of the secretary of war.

Sir Charles Warren is proved to have been even more bitter than pre viously hinted at, while a new extract from one of Lord Roberts' dispatches brings additional censure on Gen. Bul ler. Lord Roberts declares that Gen. Buller's endeavor to put the responsi bility for the defeat on Gen. Warren was not justifiable. Roberts holds that it was Buller's duty to intervene when he saw things were going wrong. This remark was caused by a dispatch from Buller, in which he says: "I saw no attempt on the part of Warren to either grapple with the situ ation or command his force himself. We lost our chance by Warren's slow ness. He seems to me to be a man who can do well what he can do him self, but who cannot command. I can never employ him again on an inao pendent command. I ought to havti assumed command myself when I saw things were not going well. I blama myself now for not doing so." Buller explains that he failed to su persede Warren because it might have discredited the latter with the troops, which was an especially serious mat ter, as if Buller had been shot Warren would have succeeded to the suprema command. The question of the responsibility for the retreat is shrouded in a maze of dispatches, proving that mistakes were made in sending messages and that there was a general desire to shirk the onus. Beyond this washing of dirty linen nothing appears to have been ac complished by the publication of the dispatches. LEEDY IS MAYOR. Kansas Ex-Governor Manages Affairs of Yaldez, Alaska. Ex-Governor John W. Leedy is now mayor of Waldez, Alaska. This fact comes out incidentally in a letter writ ten by the ex-governor to Dr. F. H. Pilcher, one of his personal friends at Winfield. Governor Leedy says the locality in which he is located has little use for doctors, owing to the pure air and water and absence of malarial germs. The great amount of iain and snow which falls is a drawback, however, and al though the spring comes as early as it does in many regions further south, it takes until about June 1 for the snow to all molt. "What we most need," writes Gover nor Leedy, "is a homstead law which, will allow settlers to take up 100 acres of land, and a railroad through the moun tains to the interior." THERE WAS A FROST. Mr. Jennings Says It Hurt the Fruit. Didn't The weather bureau scored on yester day's forecast. There was a heavy frost last night. The government thermometer only registered a minimum of 37 degrees, but the thermometer is 100 feet higher than the low lands and ice formed on the ground in many places. Observer Jen nings said this morning that the froet would probably not injure fruit as the effects would probably not be felt 10 feet from the ground. The forecast sent out this morning was: "Generally fair tonight and Friday. Slightly warmer Friday and in west portion tonight." The wind this morning was eoutheast blowing a miles an hour. The hourly temperatures recorded by the govern ment thermometer were as follows: o'clock 40 11 o'clock 63 8 o'clock 45 9 o'clock 54 10 o'clock 1 12 o'clock 65 1 o'clock 67 2 o'clock ULTIMATUM ISSUED. Transvaalers Try to Force Free Staters to Terms. London, April 17. Serious diffleult'.es, it Is said, have arisen between the Transvaal and Free State delegates who are discussing peace terms at Pretoria. General Betha and Acting President Schalk-Burger, it is reported, have giv en the Free State representatives until April 21 to come to a decision, threat ening that, thereafter, the Transvaal delegation will continue the peace nego tiations independently of the Free State delegates. It is further declared that Botha and Schalk-Burger had practi cally agreed upon terms for surrender prior to their visit to Klerksdorn, but that out of loyalty to their allies they insisted on a conference though with slight hopes that their views would be shared by Gen. DeWet and the other Kree State leaders POLICFwFlL PERMIT IT. Young Corbett and Dave Sullivan to Spar in Denver.

Once the substitution had been niad all the senators joined in itj support with the single exception of Mr. Hoar, the substitute being passed, 76 to 1. 'file friends of the substitute showed their ttzength throughout tile voting on amendments that preceded final action and succeeded m preventing: any mater ial changes in its features. Some minor conditions were made, admitting1 Clr nese p-rsons connected with national expositions and providing for certifi cates of identification of Chinese in our insular possessions. Otherwise, how V.er. the substitute was adopted sub stantially in the form that air. Piatt presented it. The senate after disposing' of the Chi nese exclusion bill made the Philippine civil government bill the unfinished bus iness. The senate failed to substitute tile enacting: clause of the house bill for the senate measure, so that the bill now will go to the house as an original measure and from a parliamentary standpoint will have to be acted on and Treated the same as though the housp had not passed a Chinese exclusion bill aii eady.

Before. the final vote was taken on the passage of the substitute bill Mr. Hoar nave noSice that he would vote against the measure, and in this connection he made earnest protest against the prin ciple (f exclusion. He believed that ev erything in the way of exclusion could be accomplished without involving the principle of striking at a particular iass or race. Holding as he did that every soul had its rights, and that these rights were not dependent on color or race, he recorded his protest against chia measure. The bill tbien was passed, 7d to 1, Mr. Hoar being the only one re cording himself in the negative. A Valuable Medicine For Coughs and Colds in. Children.

ROAST FOB, JOHNSON". Stallings Says Carey is Another of Ban's Contract Jumpers. Detroit, Mich., April 17. George Stail ings, of the Bufialo club, handed an other one to Han Johnson last evening. Stallings claims that the Washington club has in Carey a man who has vio lated his obligation. "Carey," said Stallings, "signed a contract with the Buffalo club in the spring of last year that called for his services with that team for three years, with a specified and guaranteed salary for that period. The contract is or was in the posses sion of the Franklin estate, former own er of the club. It was entered into at Carey's own solicitation, the ball player looking ahead to prospective peace and consequent lopping of salaries and wishing to have himself placed right. When Washington's offer came he sim ply ignored his contract with Buffalo. Carey is just another of Ban Johnson's contract jumpers." Stallings' presence in Detroit well nigh frenzied Charlie Strobe!, owner of the Toledo team. He was convinced that Stallings was hanging about the Gris wold with intent to steal some of the Toledo men. Tuck Turner In particu lar. SHAKES XJT -WISCONSIN. Coach O'Dea Gets After Sis Oarsmen and Stirs Them Up. Madison, Wis., April 17.

The pull last evening was about seven miles, the last two miles being a race between the two var sity crews, which the first eight won by about a length, although the second boat led for the first mile.

The freshmen and law crews were out in the shells for the first time today and showed up in good shape. Coach O'Dea called the men together on Sunday and in a short talk cava them an idea of what was before them in the way of training, which is to be more strict this year than ever. Follow ing the talk all the men were taken on a long cross-country walk, which is to be a regular part of the training from now on. Racing at Memphis. Memphis, April 17. The steeplechase, over the short course, brought ten horses to the post. Helen Paxton was held favorite. It was announced that a Frenchman. Mr. Taffin, had arrived to accept the mount on Maze. This horse was at liberal odds in the ring and was played by a Canadian contingent. To a good start Maze went to the front and, taking the jumps gamely, won by three lengths from Precursor. There were two bad falls, Helen Paxton turn ing a somersault over the fifth hurdle and Jennie Day stumbling over the eleventh jump. Slater, who rode the favorite, was rendered unconscious by the heavy fall, but Lyons, who had the mount on Jennie Day, escaped without injury. John A. Scott, the favorite in the first race, fell after running a fur long, throwing Jockey Woods to the ground. He sustained no injury. In the Cordova Hotel handicap, at a mile and an eighth, Yulcain was a slight favorite over Silurian, but the best he could do was third.

Drake at a saiary said to be $10,000 a year, had a narrow escape from serious injury at Lakeside track.

Phillips, trainer for Book maker Fred Cook, said today: "The filly is not for sale at any price, whether Mr. Cook is ruled off or not. Were she for sale, I would buy her myself. Mr. John E. Madden offered as much, and, proba bly, more, for her than any one could possibly alTord to pay for a race mare. Mr. Cook has a farm of over a thousand acres in Missouri, and rather than part with her would let her run around the farm just to look at her. I do not be lieve that the decision of the stewards will be against Mr. Cook." Racing in New York. New York, April 17. There were sev eral upsets at Aqueduct, only two fav orites winning.

Fifteen-Year-Old Edith Herman Missing From Home. SHE TOOK $500 IS CASH Her Father Thinks the Profes sor Mesmerized Her. Searching For the Man Around Wichita. Wichita, Kas., April 17. S. II. Her man, a wealthy farmer, who resides several miles east of Clay Center, Kas.. arrived in the city today in search of his 15-year-old daughter Edith, whom he suspects of having eloped with a clairvoyant named Prof. William Clem ents. The professor was in Clay Center all last week, where he posed as a for tune teller, hypnotist and medium. Mr. Herman says bis daughter went to see him several times, but that he did not think anything of that, as many other people called also. On Friday morning the girl left hovu, saying she was go ing to Clay Center to spend the day there with friends. Since that time siie has not been heard of. Inquiry at the bank in Clay Center developed the fact that Miss Herman drew out $500 which had been left her by her mother. The Union Pacific ticket agent at Clay Center said that a man and woman resembling the missing couple bought tickets Friday evening for Manhattan. Mr. Herman says he does not believe his daughter went voluntarily with the clairvoyant, and that if she is with him he exerted some hypnotic influence over her. Mr. Herman describes his daughter as being a brunette, good looking and rather large for her age. Her mother died several years ago, leaving her $500 in money. This was deposited in the girl's name in a bank at Clay Center. Mr. Herman thinks the professor learned of this by mis merizing his daughter and induced her to get the money and elope with him. The description which Mr. Herman gives of the clairvoyant is as follows: "He is about 5 feet S inches in height; dark brown hair, and eyes the same color; smooth shaven; rather slim, and usually wore a black suit with a Prince Albert and a silk hat. He did a thriv ing business at Clay Center, especially among the women." Mr. Herman says it will not go well with the professor if he gets hold of him. While in the city Mr. Herman is the guest of Frank Donaldson, an em ploye of the Santa Fe. JOHN CROWLEY MISSING. Thought That Council Grove Man Was Murdered Near Emporia. Emporia, Kas., April 17. About a week ago John Crowley, a second-hand dealer from Council Grove, disappeared near this city under circumstances that suggested murder. He was on a trip with his wagon through the country gathering up old junk. With him were a man and boy. The latter returned home with the wagon, stating that Crowley had been missing for several days, and that the other man had left them some time before. Wednesday A. L. Dryer a farmer who lives a few miles north of Emporia, came to town and told the following story: About a week ago the actions of two men attracted his attention. They had a team hitched to a wagon and were at an old deserted place in a lonesome lo cality. He did not get a close enough view of either of them to give a good description. There is an abandoned well near the place. One of the men had a light and seemed to be investi gating the well. Mr. Dryer did not at tach much importance to what he had seen until he heard of the Crowley dis appearance. Now he thinks that these men might have waylaid Crowley and flung his body into the old well. Last evening a deputy sheriff and party went out to make an investigation. Pensions For Kansans.

At 4:20 o'clock yesterday an nouncement was made that an agree ment bad been reached and Sheriff Cos tigan was pent to the jail for the pris oner, who was in readiness for the call. She took a chair between her attor neys. As the jury filed into the box the girl did not raise her eyes to look at the jurors. She gazed steadily at the floor. If she was excited she concealed her feelings. "Oentlemert, have you reached a ver dict?" Judge Smart inquired. "We have," replied D. A. Riddle, ot Lincoln, foreman of the jury. A small typewritten paper was passed to the m t MRS. MARIE STANLJST. sheriff and by him to Judge Smart, who read it and inquired: "Is this your verdict, gentlemen?" The jury assented. Judge Smart passed the paper to the district clerk, who stood and read: "We. the jury, find the defendant not guilty." Marie Stanley had been looking in tently at the floor. As the words "Not guilty" were pronounced she sprang to her feet and but for the restraining hand of an attorney on either side she would have run directly to the jury. She stood smiling, supported by the two lawyers, while Judge Smart thanked th? jury and announced the adjournment of court. Then the girl was accompanied to' the Jury box by Attorney Costigan. She shook hands all around. saying "I thank you" to each juror. Mrs. Searles, who came in just as the verdict was an nounced, also thanked the jury. Only a small crowd was in the court room.

Sound Stomachs Make Strong Men and Women. If your stomach is weak and needs a rest, the common sens method is to use a preparation like Kodol Dyspepsia Curf?, which con tains all the acids and peptones that a healthy stomach should con tain and will digest your food without aid from the stomach. In the laboratory tests in glass tubes, according to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, Each Teaspoonful Digests 3,000 Grains of Food, Such as pie, cake, eggs, cheese, meat, fats, beans, starch, etc. Surely the preparation which will do so much without the stomach'9 aid cannot help but benefit you. It is fair to suppose that even the weakest stomach will give some help. Cathartics and stimulating tonics simply remove the effect of indigestion but they will not cure the cause. Physicians and Pharmacists happv results, f have no more trouble, and when one can eat mince pie. cheese, candy and nuts after such a time, their digestion mnst be pretty good.

Shamokin, Pa., April 17. Miles Dough erty, member of the national executive board of the United Mine Workers from the Ninth district, has returned to his home here from Indianapolis, where he attended the meeting of the board. Mr. Lwmgherty says the possibilities of a strike in the anthracite coal region are growing less and that within a few days a move will be made towards the settle ment of the differences between the op erators and mine workers. From Mahanoy City information is received to the effect that a strike has been averted. John de Siivo, a member of the 'dis trict executive board, said that while he iiad received no official information concerning the settlement he had reason to believe it was true and that it wouid be confirmed officially before the end ef the week. What the basis of the compromise is, he said, he could not say further than that if it was satisfactory to National President Mitchell and the district presi dents it would receive the approval of the rank and file of the organization.

Claims That He is Still in Con trol of the Situation. Statement Made hj President Spencer of the Southern. Indications are now that the Rocs; Island route has not as yet acquired any interest in the Louisville Nash ville railroad, which has passed into the control of J. Pierpont Morgan Co. When it was first announced that the L. N. had been sold, it was believed in railway circles that the Rock Island was the real purchaser. Some claim that the B. N. is to be absorbed by the -Southern; some think it is the Seaboard Air Bine. The Illi nois Central and other roads have also been mentioned as the possible pur chaser. Since the first announcement of the big deal, however, the dispatches have indicated that the Rock Island has as vet not secured control. SEABOARD IS INTERESTED. Baltimore, April 17. It was learned today from a semi-official source that the Seaboard Air Line railroad figures in the general understanding reached in New York in connection with the Louisville Nashville sale.- This, it is stated, assured the continuance of the friendly relations existing between the Seaboard and the Louisville Nash ville. i It is understood that conferences have been held between the Morgan in terests and representatives of the Sea board. President Skeiton of the latter and President Samuel Spencer of the Southern railway were present at these conferences. It has been expected that some understanding would be reached with the Seaboard with the idea of se curing its co-operation with the com munity of interests plan. There is a disposition in local circles close to the Seaboard to think that the Gates party contemplated making a bid for the Seaboard, and that the Morgan plan to secure a general understanding in tervened and stopped this movement. BELMONT STILL DENIES. New York, April li. August Belmont had nothing to add today to his brief statement of last night. It may be stated, however, that the Belmont in terests do not admit having lost con trol of the L. N. The statement of Harris, Gates Co. that they "bought control of the Louis ville Nashville" implies that they practically hold phy'sical possession of over oOO.oiN) shares of the stock, includ ing the stock now out on "time" con tracts and deliverable some two to four weeks off. Efforts to get a defi nite statement from the Gates inter ests regarding this phase of the situa tion were futile. This naturally gives rise to the suggestion that some changes may soon take place in the L. N. board that Mr. Gates will be permitted to name several directors. From the highest possible source, how ever, comes the statement that no change is likely to be made in the L. N. directorate until Mr. Morgan's re turn from abroad. Mr. Morgan is not expected back until the early summer. One of the latest versions of the L. N. situation is as follows: The Gates holdings have been divided into three parts, J. P. Morgan Co. taking one-third and Messrs. Gates and Havvley the remainder. Morgan Co. have taken this interest on the under standing that the L. N. is to be op erated in harmony with Morgan inter ests in the same section of the country. Yesterday's movement in Southern railway is attributed to Mr. Gates' de sire to secure an interest in that prop erty. He is reported to have been in formed that the best way to get it was to go into the open market, which he and his followers are reported to have done to the extent of about 200,000 shares. The substance of these reports was outlined to Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern. He appeared to be in terested but made no comment. Mr. Spencer and Mr. Stetson, attorney for J. P. Morgan, spent considerable time at Morgan Co.'s this afternoon conferring with Mr. Perkins. All in terested refused to discuss the terms of the agreement between Mr. Gates and Mr. Belmont. nor could it be learned when the terms are likely to be ma ile public. PRESIDENT SPENCER'S VERSION. President Spencer of the Southern Rail way sent this telegram To S. M. Mann, one of the directors of the Southern and mem ber of the executive board: "The I.. t N. situation is simplv this: Mr. (,ates and his associates, apparentlv without any consultation with anv rail road interest in the south or elsewhere, and entirely on their own account,, bought in the open market large blocks of I.. N. stock and claimed now to be a clear majority. "By reason of a large short interest, partly out of the sale bv the B. N. com pany of fj'j.OOO shares an authorized addi tional issue of treasury stock which was not listed and not therefore a good deliv ery 011 the exchange, a serious corner was imminent. J. P. Morgan ,fe Co. was an pealed to to use their influence to prevent such a disaslrous condition. After two days' negotiations this has resulted in an agreement by which the Gates stock will be deposited with and placed under the control of J. P. Morgan Co.. as bankers and not as representing any railway in terest and with no purpose except to con serve in the best possible way the general liuancial and business situation and avoid the serious complications which have threatened. "The Southern Railway company has had no interest directly or indirectlv, pres ent or prospective, in the purchase' of the stock, or in its deposit as above with J. P. Morgan Co. There is no contest for the control of the L. N. bv anv other railway company and not likely to be certainly not by the Southern. (Signed:) "SAMUEL SPENCER." WANTS TO BOEBOW $50,000. Arthur E. Stilwell is Bickering With Wichita Business Men. Arthur E. Stillwell is trying to per suade Wichita to loan him $50,000 to build his Orient road from Wichita to the Red river. The "Wichita Eagle says: "Mr. Stillwell is very anxious to com plete the line from this city to the Red river. The roadbed is graded from An thony to Fairviev and the men are at work now laying the steel. There Is an engine and fifteen cars at Anthony ready for work on the new line. "Mr. Stillwell has obtained valuable concessions from the Mexican govern ment for building the road in that country and it is absolutely necessary for him to complete so much of the road within a certain time or he can not obtain these concessions and the success of the road depends a great deal on these lands which, if the road is completed in Mexico, wdll become the company's property. Mr. Stiliweii is bending every effort to have the Mex ican end of the line completed on time and he is using ail the capital he can get at the present time to do the work required. "There is more than eighty miles of line graded south of Anthony, and rather than allow this to He idle, Mr. Stillwell has made the following prop osition to the business men. He will come here and place in escrow securi ties of known value and the business men are to advance him $50,000 to help build the line from here to Harper and put it into operation. As is well known that when the line is completed to the Red river $S2,000 of bonds will become the company's property. Then they propose to take up those securities and reimburse those who helped make the loan to the company. The loan will be from private parties and only for the time necessary for them to build the line and put it into operation." The Wichita Commercial club is con sidering the proposition. SURVEYORS AT BELEN. Santa Fe Making Good Progress on Its Cut-off Survey. Advices from Belen, N. M., says the El Paso Herald, say that a part of Santa Fe surveyors are stationed at that place and have established a sur veyor's office. The advices further state that a large corps of men are at work surveying a line from Rio Puerco on the Santa Fe Pacific- west of Albu-quei-CjUe, through Belen, south to Albu querque, and Abo Pass to Roswell. where a connection will be made with the Pecos Valley road. It is stated that the surveyors have said that the Santa Fe proposes to build the connection be tween Puerco and Roswell and make that their main line to the Pacific coast. The encroachment of the Rock Island has made it necessary for the Santa Fe to shorten its line from Chicago to the Pacific coast, and this proposed route is the most feasible. In case it is built the Santa Fe will have a line 200 miles shorter than any other road from Chicago to the coast. The Pecos Valley line will require a great deal of work before it will be ready for use for a main line. It was stated by a local Santa Fe official to day that the Roswell extension to this place would have been made long ago had it not been for the immense amount of improvements which would have to be made on the Pecos Valley road in order to convert it into a main line. EXIT THE DINNER GONG. Santa Fe Will XTse Tubular Chimes at Albuquerque Alvarado. No more will the hungry traveler who alights from the Santa Fe trains at the Albuquerque station be greeted by the hollow rumble of the old brass gong that for many moons has called atten tion to the red walls and open door of the Harvey eating house, says the Al buquerque Journal-Democrat. The old brass gong will be laid away with the wrecking of the old red house, or per haps it will be sent to California to re cuperate. In its place a brightly pol ished row of metal tubes, tuned to the perfect harmony of the chimes of St. Simon, will be manipulated by the Harvey house man. The new apparatus is nothing less than a first-class mu sical instrument of the vaudeville class, on which a skillful operator can play very pretty tunes. It will come into use with the opening of the Alvarado in May. BARKER IN THE SOUTH. Inspecting Work of Rock Island Sur veyors South of Dallas. Galveston, April 17. H. A. Parker, president of the Chicago, Rock Island Texas railroad and vice president of the, Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific railroad gave out the following interview in re gard to the proposed extension of the Fort Worth line to the Gulf of Mexico at Dallas recently: "My object in coming to Texas at the present time was to look over the route of the proposed line to the south. All I can say is that we have two corps of surveyors south of Dallas, and I am going to spend about one week confer ring with them and looking over the country through which the road will run. We may be able to talk to the people of Dallas about coming here within two or three weeks, and would like to begin work as soon as possible. RATE ON FLOUR. Milwaukee St. Paul Announce a Rate of 19 1-2 Cents. St. Paul, Minn., April 17. The Milwau kee and St. Paul road has created a sen sation by taking independent action on the question of export flour rates from Minne apolis to the seaboard. It published a through tariff of 192 cents by wav of Lake Michigan ports in connection with all boat lines running between Chicago. Milwaukee and Lake Erie ports and all eastern trunk lines. The tariff is effective immediately and expires April o0. i he si. Paul road is understood to have made a large amount of contracts prior to the cancellation of the low rate and it de sires to fuliili them. The trunk lines, it is said, have refused positively to protect the IS cent tariff. EMPLOYES STOLE BRASS. Santa Fe Detective Catches Crooked Shop Men. San Bernardino, Cal., April 17. Sher iff Rouse and Special Officer Gilroy of the Santa Fe have completed a roundup of a gang of brass thieves. For months the Santa Fe shop men have missed a large amount of brass. The special of ficer was finally notified and securing the assistance of Sheriff Rouse the brass leakage was soon found. Friday Wil liam Johnson was arrested as he was leaving the yards. His pockets bulged with 20 pounds of brass. But there were other thieves. Last night Gilrov and Sheriff Rouse arrested six Mexicans in a house on lower D street. About 1, 000 pounds of brass was found in and about the house. The Mexicans had car ried it from the yards and shops in their dinner pails. Johnson was form erly in the employe of the Santa Fe. FINISHED IN BURLAP. Unique Decorations For New Santa Fe Hotel and Depot. Albuquerque, N. M.. April 17. For the past few days the Santa Ee's crew" of painters and paper hangers have been at work in the new station putting the fin ishing touches to the interior of that ar tistic structtire. The wainscoting through the building has been finished in burlap. The burlap, when thoroughly dry, will be painted to harmonize wdth the dark tone of the interior, making a very pleasing ef fect of the whole. Burlap for wainscot finishing became a very pronounced fad in the east a year or more ago. At that time it was believed that the idea would soon be abandoned for the oid plaster and wail paper. But it was discovered that besides adding an artistic touch to the in terior of rooms thus finished, the burlap proved much more durable than plast. in fact serving almost as well as wood. Several rooms in the Alvarado will also be finished in burlap, notably the offices, lunch room and bar, where the capeless public is likely to gather in large num bers. ANOTHER ALASKAN LINE. Sep.ttle Capitalists Have a Plan to Build to the Yukon. Seattle, "Wash., April 17. Men prom inent in the business and political af fairs of this state have announced their intention to construct a railroad through Central Alaska. It is proposed to build from a point on Resurrection bay by the most feasible and the shortest route possible -to Rampart City on the Yukon. The length, of the proposed line is 57 miles.

Ar ticles (of incorporation were filed today. CLUB WOMEN RATES STAND. Transcontinental Passenger Associa tion Adheres to Existing Plans. San Diego, Cal., April 17. The Trans continental Passenger association trans acted considerable business at its ses sion today. The rate to the Elks' grand lods-e, to be held in Salt Lake next August, was fixed at one limited first class fare for the round trip from Pa cific coast points. The matter of the refusal of certain lines to sell tickets to the women's clubs convention to be held at Los Angeles was taken up. The roads in question base their refusal on the ground that they are not properly pro rated. After discussion the association declined to recede from the arrangements previous ly made. The question of rates for clergymen was "referred to a committee to report at the next meeting. In (regard to rates to the Transmissis sippi congress in St. Paul next August, a special committee was appointed with power to act. The same course was taken in reference to the grand Eyrie of Eagles to be held at Minneapolis in June. Takes the Place of Chas. Goodnow. Chicago, April 17.

"-VA..-t -I Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y.: Gentlemen In justice to you, I feel it is my duty to send you an acknowledgment of the receipt of the sample bot tle of Swamp-Root you so kindly sent me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidney and bladder trouble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time being.but the old complaint would in a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found it did me a world of good. Since then I have taken eight small bottles bought at my drug store, and I consider myself perfectly cured. It seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping. I do not have the smarting and irritation, nor do I have to get up during the night to urinate, as I formerly did three or four times a night, but now sleep ;he sleep of peace. My back is all right again, and in every way I am a new man. Two of my brotherofflcers are still using Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of it. It is a boon to mankind. We recommend it to all who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases. My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the blessing you. have brought to the human race in the compounding of Swamp-Root. JAMES COOK. We 'remain, yours very truly, JOHN J. BODKIN. Officers of the 58th Police Precinct, Greater New York. HUGH E. BOYLE. (65th Police Precinct.) If you are sick or "feel badly." begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because an soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suf fering with fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy-, restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Un healthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or d:i ache in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, yellow com plexion, makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals, recommended by physicians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy that science has ever been able to compound. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and one dollar size bottles at the drug stores everywhere. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. SPECIAL NOTICE. Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder remedy, is so remarkably successful that a special arrangement has been made by which all of our readers who have not already tried it may have a sample bottle absolutely free by mail. Also a book telling all about kidney and bladder troubles and containing many of the thousands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from men and women cured by Swamp-Root.

The wound is not serious. Hugh Magill, who runs a hanger fire In the spring shop, was summoned home on Wednesdav afternoon on account of the injurv of his father in a runaway accident at Seventh and Jackson streets. A. J. Caldwell, a car repairer in the sheds, came in this morning after having been gone more than a w-eek attending the burial of a brother-in-law at Indianapolis, Ind., who died suddenly of heart disease and dropsy. B. Lantry Sons of Strong City, who are filling a number of contracts for the Santa Fe have lately bought a stone crusher at Howard. Mo., with which they will get out the ballast which is being used on the Chicago division. Jacob Maze, who has been absent from his drill press in the boiler shop two weeks or more on account of his back being In jured by a grain door striking him, is re covering slowly; probably will be laid up the rest of the month. If plans carry which have been made, one of the boilers which is to go on top of a furnace in the new blacksmith shop and from which the big steam hammers will draw their supply, will be turned over to that department this week. Chal Wallace of the machine shop and a member of the baseball nine lately or ganized by Nate Cafferty. was hit under the left eve by a ball during the Wednes dav noon hour and had to go to the hos pital doctors. His injury is not serious. Out of a total of 1.01 or 1,500 goats ship ped into Emporia from the west a day or two ago, when they were unloaded it was found that 240 were dead. They were in poor condition for moving and that was largely accountable for the heavy loss. To supply the blast furnaces with air in the new blacksmith shop tiiere will be two No. 8 and No. 7. and one No. fan, all to be driven bv electric motors. The pipe through which the air is to be conducted to the fires is being laid by the water ser vice men. Ruv Clark, an employe in the Santa Fe freight house at Emporia has accepted a position with the company at Chicago and will leave at once for that place. He was in the Topeka hospital a lew weeks ago for treatment and only recently returned to his home. TcuvnEice Mo 1 In the blacksmith shop. which has been off duty a day and part of a night, has been repaired and was ready for firing up at 1 o'clock this morning. A UiT-o-e nart of the brick had to be replaced. No. 3 has been pulled down and is under- i going rebuilding. j Frank Giblar. a member of the night j e-aiiar in the blacksmith shop, has been sick 1 about three months, but is getting about well enough to resume his place. A paper went around among the men the other day and a sum of money that will do him much good was raised, nnemtor R h Svkes of Elizabeth, the first station east of Olathe. has left his J key for a week and is to be married dur- ing that time. Svkes and his bride ex- j pect to come to Topeka on their wedding trip. Harry Watkins of Lang is supplying j the vacancy at Elizabeth. 1 "Shnrtv" Sanderson of the boiler shop put out 2.000 strawberry plants on his place east of town a few days ago and after making a thorough search, he declares all of them are growing. Besides these he has 50 voting cherry trees, 35 plums, 60 apple and 25 peach trees all thriving. Sheds workmen are busy on a rush or der of nine box cars to be converted (two of them) into diners, five bunk, one kitchen and one storage, and all to be sent out where construction gangs are working to furnish accommodations for the men. It is thought they will go to Oklahoma for service. Locomotive 1033, one of the new Prairie freight engines which the Santa Fe is hav ing "built at the Baldwin works in Phila delphia, went west Tuesday for service on the Santa Fe Pacific. By way of giving it an Impromptu test as to tractive power it was sent up Pauline hill with 1,009 tons behind it and did the performance with ease. Engine 06. which runs on the Leaven-w-orth extension between that place and Argentine, broke down Tuesday evening at Leavenworth, and the one spot, that plies between here and the Missouri river town, had to take its place. It seems that the river water didn't look good to the Injec tor of the 06 and the refusal of that essen tial part to work made the trouble. Word received from G. P. Tilson. air brake inspector in the field yard, who was sent to La Junta, Col., a week ago in the hope that the lung trouble with which he has been afflicted several weeks might be W ronerties o alleviated, indicates that his condition Is about the same as it has been. He will probably remain in Colorado indefinitely, although the original intention was to take him to Las Vegas. Members of the shops fire department gathered at the home of Chief Snyder, 1S1 Emmett street, a few nights ago on the occasion of his birthday anniversary and, besides giving him a pleasant call, present ed him with a quarter-sawed oak rocking chair, the best that skilled wood work men belonging to the brigade could pick. The diversions engaged in br the laddies were games, and at the close of the call lunch was served. At the call of John Burchell, shops su perintendent, foremen from all depart ments assembled Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock in the committee room of the build ing occupied by mechanical department of fices, for the first of a series of weekly meetings to be continued indefinitely. The purpose was to bring all parts in close touch in order that the interests of the whole plant may be advanced. Cal Hayes, for many years previous to a few months ago foreman of a gang In the tank room here, and since then in the employ of the company at Albuquerque, N. M., and at San Bernardino. Cal., in the capacity of a machinist, is now in charge of a round house at National Citv, Cal. He took the place last Friday and it is expected that Mrs. Hayes, who has been in Topeka since his departure for the west, will join him soon. Claude Maze. Fred Alsdorf, Henry Barnes and John Cooper are on the night shift in the boiler shop temporarily. It is often the case when a single piece of work is to be rushed that the workmen are divided in such a way that part of them will be on duty all the time, thus keeping the job moving without any de lay until it is finished. There have been a number of fellows on this trick in the boilermaking department laying off within the last few nights. Two thousand tons of coal from Trini dad, Cob. have been unloaded at the new coal storage track at Newton and there are S.ooo more to be added to the pile there before the supply which the com pany is placing is complete. The quality is such that there seems to be little ap prehension for a recurrence of the Topeka experience of last summer in which the pile east of the shops took fire and smoul dered several months. James Sheets, in the service of the car company here as a niihw-right 20 years before three years ago when he went to Albuquerque, N. M.. because of poor health, has returned to his place and will remain nere. f-ie oegan working m the wa ter service this morning and his time will be occupied a good many months setting up tlie machinery for the new shops, that being the business of a tradesman of his class. His wife and two children are here and the goods have been shipped from Al buquerque. In the ea-st erecting shop a baseball nine nas Deen organized with the line-up as fol lows: Nate Cafferty. manager and pitcher: Tony Beyer (captain), first base: Charles Biilings, catcher: Roscoe Jones, second base: Chal Wallace, third base: Ralph Mc Neill, short stop: Henry O'Brien, left field; William Fry. center field: Earl Petrie. right field: Harry Adams, substitute. No games have been arranged yet. but the members of the team are putting every bit of spare time in getting in shape for a contest with some of the local aggrega tions. In answer to a dispute on between mem bers of the boiiermakers after lunch club regarding the comparative speed of the bi cycle or the horse, the State Journal glad ly quotes from an authority the following records: The best performance on the American turf was made by Salvator. a 4-year-old, at Monmouth, Pa., on a straight course track, in August. 1S20, the time for one mile being one minute and thirty-five and a half seconds. For the same dis tance on a wheel Major Taylor made the paced record of a minute and twenty-two and -a haif seconds, thus giving the bi cyclist the better showing by a little more than thirteen seconds. There is a little more animation among the baseball enthusiasts.i despite the weather, which is anything but toughening to hands that are not tough from handling the ball. Now the division offices are fig uring on a team which will go over to the Rock Island and bring back the scalp of the nine on that side. of the avenue. John Burdge should be seen by those who have any encouragement o offer, either by sign ing for a position or by paying in a few cold cash of the realm. Joseph Gillan Is one of the men who has a record, having really done good work several years ago on a tri-country league nine in Pennsyl vania. He plays behind the stick.

We are tbe only persons in ttie West who administer all the BATES given at the cele brated European spas of Carisbitd, Wies baden, Kissmgen, Nauhetm, etc southern lines of the Santa Fe In antici pation of the extraordinary rush of eattitf that takes place every spring when it be comes necessary to the growers of Texas and the south to transfer their hoof prop erty to the fresher pastures of the north. So far, scarcely anything" hae been dona in moving this annual traffic; but it is ex pected to open within the next two week. At that time the Alma branc h west and southwest of Topeka will get Its quota, of kine, about two hundred cars. A lit tle later, when spring touches to luxuriant verdure the grazing" lands of the north west, the cattle kings move their herds on, always seeking to keep tho stock on tha best grass to be had. How to get a pure supply of water for use in its locomotives? along the western lines is a question that ia causing tha Santa Fe no end of trouble, particularly on that part of the system between Dodge City. Kan., and T-a Junta. Col. In that territory the stuff from which thf steam is made is so impure that it causes swnt and certain Ipakage in the flues of the boiler. Foremen using every expdin t possible are not able to hold up to the rec ord wnich they wish and which would be possible were there a pure article to make vapor. The failures for this reason are frequent and in every attempt to overcoma or offset it those handling the work are unable to cope successfully. The chemists have bfen put to the task of removing some of the destructive elements-', though there seems to be a little imcertainty a? to just what exists in the liquid. Car bonis, acid -gas may be the constituent that ia rausing the difficulty, but at any rate it is so sevpre that only a short distance can be traveled after steam has been raised until leaks are discovered here and there and the chances are that if the trip be a, long one the engine may "die" before reaching its destination. It is possible that of the eleven places where tanks are re- ntien tnree or tnem wiu oe supplied wnn water as pure as the application of the proper chemicals will make it. Heretofore there has been a difficulty on account of the water in the boiler foaming, but by the application of patent preparations this tiaa been largely eliminated, at the same tirntj the sevf rity of the liquid on the m-tal parts being, if anything, increased. It has become a serious proposition to the Santa Fe, as fine repairs are costly and lately have been exceptionally frequent- SHE SLID LIKE A FIREMAN. If Bfrs.

This afternoon, with the Misses Beiner, Glassex and Kleine, she visited the oid house of City Hose company in Tiiver dale avenue, and Fireman Greenhalgh showed the women over the building. While upstairs in the dormitory Greenhalgh was called away, leavirtsr the four women near one of the sliding poles. One of them suggested that they all slide down as the firemen do. Miss Beiner immediately accepted the chal lenge and glided safely down. Mrs. Eisler then started. She proceeded about half way and then let go. She landed on her side and was unable to move. Her husband and Dr. Schoonover were summoned and she was carried h'--e, where the doctor found that she hau a compound fracture of the leg. She was sent to St. John's hospital. It will be two months before she will be able to get about.

While reducing duties In Cuban pro ducts why not make the cut sufficiently deep to benefit the American consumer. The old adage about beef being- high wiil have to be remodeled since the ad est when the cow jumped over the moon vent of the beef tru.st.' There seems to be always an abun dance of work for the reformers. It is reported that Washington City women have t;.K n to smoking. The Chicago Tribune thinks there is entirely too much fuss made about the mules sold to the British army since the Boers get them finally. Andrew Carnegie has taken new courage and gone at it again. He renews his struggle against riches by giving a million dollars to Columbia university. With putting a high tax on oleo margarine and buying- up large quanti ties of the good butter in the country the government seems determined to force the masses to gravy. The Canadian government has offi cially notified the United States govern ment that Canada's participation in the World's fair at St. Louis will be much more extensive than it had at the Co lumbian Exposition. England and the United States are ow neck and neck in the contest to see 'nich can end its war oftener. General '..haffee scored yesterday and immediate ly announced that he was fitting out an expedition to begin it again. It appears to be about time for New York's reform government to take an inventory and file a schedule of assets so that the people may know that they are getting what they voted for-. About all that is visible so far is the fact that they are rid of Croker. That despondent Iowa pastor who kill ed himself because his congregations have kept growing smaller should have bided his time. There is nothing to show that all those Iowa people will be needed to run the government at Washington always. Some of them will be coming back in a few years. It is interesting to note local peculiari ties. That New York corpse that broke open the coffin and heaped contumely and coffin splinters on the heads of the pall bearers perhaps did not exceed his rights as a corpse, but the custom does not obtain in Kansas. Here it would be considered very bad form. The National Association of Teachers for the Deaf is arranging, through a committee appointed by that organiza tion, for an exhibit at the World's fair. It is the intention of the educators to have pupils from the various state schools present during the term of the Exposition to illustrate the method of teaching employed. Both the British and the German gov ernments have lodged a strong protest at Washington against the application of that part of the Philippines tariff act recently enacted and just ordered into operation which authorizes the rebate of a portion of the export duties on Philip pine goods. The matter of complaint is hemp which is exported into England end Germany in vast quantities from Manila. The rebate afforded to Ameri can importers will amount, it Is alleged, to a difference of of a cent a pound in favor of the American rope maker, a discrimination which w-ill practically destroy the British and German trade according to the protestants. THE BEEF COMBINE. From the Detroit News. A better opportunity for making a case against a trust could not be found than the proposed investigation of the beef trust. It is a trust which appears to have an actual but no nominal ex istence. No ambitious pronoter has paraded the accomplishment of a com bination of packing- house interests. As far as is known there has been no stock pooling and surrender of inde pendent management to one central control. The packing firms appear to have preserved their individuality, but in every other particular the meat bus iness appears to be under trust man agement. The fw big firms that have control of the business appear to have pareel1 out the territory by secret agreement, and to have agreed upon a schedule of prices. They appear to have also agreed upon a certain code of offensive tactic1, designed to destroy competition. The-e is no question but the beef combine can deliver beef at any point at a cheaper price than, local competition can afford. This is true in Europe; it is true in the United States. It is almost a waste of pace to state the reasons why. She bis abattoirs have labor-saving machinery, which multiplies the effec tiveness of its employes, as compared with tha local butcher. Doing business on a huge scale, "if ran afford all the conveniences and economic devices. Ev ery bit of animal matter brought into the slaughter houses is converted into some salable product on the spot and with great economy. The village and city butcher is compelled to waste much for which he has paid 6 or 8 cents a pound.- In spite of his disadvantages, the lo cal butcher is satisfied with a lower price for his beef than, the trust man agement demands, and so the trust watches every local butcher and threat ens him with ruin unless he buys trust beef at trust prices. If he insists upon his independence, he finds a competitor established next door some morning, and the competitor offers beef at cut rates. He is an agent of the trust, and he has the backing of millions of capi tal with which to drive out the inde pendent butcher. Investigation should find no difficulty in uncovering the practices which keep up the price of meat. It would be impossible to find a jury of intelligent citizens which would not agree that the practice is oppres sive and unlawful. The task of locating the responsibility and applying the rem edy is less easy of accomplishment. GLOBS SIGHTa From the Atchison Globe. A man cannot see that cut glass is so terribly pretty. Here lately we can't get rain after the crops are ruined. 111 tell you'my experience in quit ting smoking." a man said today; "I couldn't do it." What has become of the gld-faah-ioned shrew who couldn't work rapidly unless she was scolding? It is as hard for a man of forty to fall deeply in love as it is for a man of sixty to get his back warm. The price of beef is so high we make a suggestion: In buying meat, buy the very toughest. In chewing ii a long time you get your -money back. What do people do on" Sunday that makes them so cross on Monday?. Mon day is a nuisance because nine-tenths of the people you meet on that day are cross and unreasonable. Heart-to-heart hint to. East Atchison girl: Since men are so scarce and such demands are made on every one of them, it is advisable for a girl in writ ing a love letter to enclose stamps for a reply. The Lord and the women have a strong bond of sympathy. No matter what kind of weather the Lord sends, some one kicks, and no matter what a woman has on her table, some one of the family finds fault. If you want to compliment anyone, don't say, "Oh. he's not so bad," indi cating that there is a good deal of "talk" about him. How seldom a de cent man gets credit! Why do people insist so strongly that honest men are dishonest? POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A diplomat is a man who knows how to hold his job. Wise is the man who knows when to make a long story short. When a fool gets angry he opens his mouth and shuts his eyes. Many men believe that honesty in moderation is the best policy. Fishermen, unlike doctors, never at tempt to cure a sucker until after he is dead. Students of good form are usually found well up in front at a burlesque show. He is one man in a thousand who can drink or let it alone especially if he lets it alone. Love doesn't laugh at the locksmith often enough to enable him to pose as a professional humorist. The minds of men resemble the soils of old mother earth; some aie deep and rich and some are shallow and poor. Before noon a man is hopeful of ac complishing something by night. After noon he sidetracks his hopes for use next day. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. The woman with three divorces needs no wedding rehearsals. Those girls who love flowers with savage intensity have a lot to learn. Husbands for convenience w'ould be perfect if there were no other women to tell. It always seems more vulgar to get caught doing what you ought not to do than it is coarse to do it. Clear skies bring soft smiies; spring breezes waft tender fancies and mel low sunshine warms pretty lips for sweet kisses. H ALF MILLION INCREASE. More Capital Stock Added to M. K. T. For the second time within forty-eight hours, the Missouri, Kansas Texas Railway company has increased its capital stock. This time the increase is $550,000. Tuesday it was $270,000. The last increase is to cover the stock of the Missouri, Kansas Northwestern rail road, a coal line running from Jopiin through the Kansas coal regions to Par sons.

Lived at Council drove in Over land Stage Days. Lost $6,000 in Failure of Cross Bank at Emporia. It has been discovered that Joseph H. Deane, the old man who was taken from the New Empire hotel in this city, and sent to the state insane asylum here last week, has property to the valu of $20,000, and possibly more. When search ed at the jail $1,030 in bills and $600 in 2 per cent government bonds were found sewed into his clothing. The identity of Deane has been fully established by T. F. Doran of this city, who was well acquainted with him when he lived at Council Grove over 20 years ago. Mr. Deane's insanity is manifested by the hallucination that doctors are eon spiring to cut his head off. He is a very old man, his age being somewhere be tween SO and 80. He had two brothers. John and Patrick, who formerly lived in Morris county, Kansas, but who when last heard of lived in Michigan. Probate Judge Mason, of Emporia, re ceived the following letter this week which serves to place Mr. Deane in com munication with his friends: "Judge of Probate, Emporia, Kan.: Dear Sir: The sad news of the condi tion of my uncle reached me today. Please see that he has good care. I will wire you in a few days what to do. He has relatives, but we have been unable to find any traces of Joseph H. Deane until today. Sad as it is, I am in hopes with good care he may improve. Hoping that you will take a persona! interest in him until some arrangements can be made to go to him, I am, verv respect fully, JULIA H. DEANE. "Owosso, Mich.' Judge Mason came to Topeka yester day to. consult with Probate Judge Fa gan, and show him the letter from Miss Dean, who seems to be employed in the public schools at Owosso, as the letter was written on city school paper. Judge Fagan has appointed Dr. S. A. Johnson as guardian for Mr. Deane, and Ferry Doran as attorneys for the guardian. T. F. Doran gives the following in formation concerning Mr. Deane: "When I was a boy, living at Council Grove, I used to know Mr. Deane. He was at that time an old man. As I grew older, I became personally ac quainted with him. Ur to about 1880. he worked in Council Grove as a shoe maker, and amassed a fortune at the business. He owned large farms in Chase county, and was well known at Council Grove, Emporia and Elmdale. He had business interests throughout Chase, Lyon, and Morris counties. "Pie quit the shoe business about 1S80, and commenced to live on the interest of his money, and his rents. I lost track of him, and did not know he was here in Topeka till he was arrested for insan ity. He had been living here in Topeka for a year, and had apparently tried to conceal his identity for some reason. I think he was probably not quite right in his mind during the whole tine. lie had a room at the New Empire house, and spent all his time there. "Mr. Deane -had about $6,000 in the Cross bank at Emporia when it failed, and has since been paid back about 50 per cent, of that sum. This is the only money I ever heard of his losing. "I think that Deane is probably worth twenty or thirty thousand dollars. There is some hope, I believe, that he will recover from his insanity. He has always lived a temperate and careful life, and is in good physical condition. He must be between 80 and 90 years of age. "Mr. Deane was never married. I think he has no relatives except his brothers and their families." "Mr. Deane was born in Kings county, Ireland, and was educated in a Catholic parochial school near his home. His parents were very poor, and had a hard time giving their children any educational advantages. About a year ago Mr. Deane sent $1,000 to the pa rochial school where he was educated, and I believe that it was his intention to leave all his money to the school." YQ M A N S S K E LET 0 X Remains of One of tha Vikings Dug Up on the Coast of Norway. London, April 17. An interesting dis covery is reported from Norway bear ing upon both Norse and Anglo-Saxon history. Three hundred feet frori th seashore on tho coast of Northfiord there has been dug ud from a hillock remnants of a burned shio and the tones of a female skeleton and of a horse with a weapon and parts of ar mor and objects of adornment. The style of them all indicates that they 'be long to a later period than the Iron Age, when the Viking raids were chiefly di rected toward tre West of England and Ireland. Thus it is once more proved that in the Viking epoch women lived as war riors, and that it was the custom for the Norse Vikings to burn the corpses of prominent warriors on their ships.

More Prominent Workers in De nomination Arrive Today. The principal question that came be fore the delegates to the Seventh Day Adventists' conference convention at the auditorium today was the proposition to change the boundary lines of the North-, western and Southwestern Union con ferences. The plan for the division of the confer ences embraces thescheme to cut off the states of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado from the Southwestern Union confer ence and the states of Iowa and Nebras ka from the Northwestern Union con ference and form a Central Union con ference. Such a step will involve the transfer of many thousands of dollars and it will receive much deliberate consideration before final disposition is made of the proposition. The members of this con ference do noj feel kindly disposed to the scheme as it is believed the plan will weaken both the Northwestern and this conference and will not do an equal amount of good otherwise. The hour from 11 o'clock until noon was occupied today by Elder A. G. Dan iels in presenting this matter. The sermon at the auditorium last night was by Elder A. G. Daniels, presi dent of the general conference, on the subject, "The Second Advent of Christ as a Sonl Purifying Doctrine." T.he thought that when Christ shall ap pear for the second time that we shall be like him is responsible in leading a person to cleanse himself from ail "pithiness of the, flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lard" was ablv present ed. He brought out the fact that Christ's second coming will bring an end to alt sin and will fully establish the reign or grace. The devotional services this morning at S:3t were conducted bv Bolder R. C. Por ter of Missouri. The time was spent in singing songs of praise and in hearing the testimonials and thanksgivings of the del egates. Among today's arrivals are: From Iowa Elder Lv F. Starr, president of the Iowa conference, accompanied by Elders Bergerseh, Olesen. Frederic, Kraft, Dr. K. B. Fuller and Prof. Floyd Bruller. From Nebraska Elder N. P. Nelson, president of the Nebraska conference: El der L. A. Hope, president of Union college; J. Sutherland, manager of the Union col lege; Dr. George, superintendent of the Nebraska sanitarium, and Frank Ogden. of Union xollege. Elder S. H. Lane of Battle Creek, who has long been connected with the financial department of the general conference of the Seventh Day Adventists, also arrived this morning. HALL APPOINTED.

Diesem, of Garden City, Tells of Interest. Farmers Preparing to Plant More Ground. According to I. L. Diesem,. of Garden City, who is in Topeka today, the farm ers of the Arkansas valley who ac tually farm will pay a great deal of at tention to sugar beets this year, al though the sugar beet acreage in the immediate vicinity of Garden City will not be as large as it was last year. The reason for this, Mr. Diesem ex plains, is that merchants and bankers and other town people last year signed contracts with the Rocky Ford sugar factory company, agreeing to plant a certain amount of beets, sometimes as high as 25 acres. They did this simply to raise the acreage high enough to g-et the sugar factory to back the experi ment, but they paid little attention to the cultivation of the beets. This year that class will drop out and the real farmers have increased their acreage. They have also prepared their Irriga tion plants with special reference to properly watering the beets. 'I have never seen Finney county in a better condition than it is at present," said Mr. Diesem. "I have lived there seventeen years and never saw a better spring than this has been. We had a good supply of moisture early, and dur ing the past week we have had more rain. I would not be surprised if w;e could get along until June without irri gating. "What we most need in that region is a class of immigrants who will come in and take small farms and raise beets. Those who are established in other lines do not like to turn their attention entirely to beets." Mr. Diesem says that irvigation from wells is not only successful in the valley along the river, but can also be successfully accomplished in many places on the uplands. This is impos sible further west in Colorado, as there is no underflow there. At Rocky Ford well water cannot be obtained except at a depth of about 150 feet, and all the irrigating must be done through ditch es leading out of the river. There has been more or less talk about locating a sugar factory at Garden City, but it will not be located there until the beet acreage in the tributary territory is sufficient to justify it. It takes from 5.000 to 7,000 acres of beets to success fully run a factory with a capacity of 500 tons of beets a day. This is the size of the one at Sugar City, Colo., IS miles north of Rocky Ford, and last year it utilized the product of about 5,500 acres. This year that acreage will be consider ably increased. Three years ago the ground where Sugar City stands and that on which the beets are raised was covered with buffalo grass and there was not a farm house in the locality. It was simply grazing land. The sugar company built its factory and bought three thousand acres of land which it prepared for beet raising, hiring the labor done. The first year everybody lived in tents, but since then a town has sprung up. around the factory and a few farm houses have been built. But even now many of those who raise beets on the company's land live in tents. Outside of the company land farmers have bought small tracts and have commenced to raise beets. A man from Ellsworth county took his family out to Sugar City a year ago and contracted with the company to raise beets. The company, plowed the ground; and planted the beets and the man and his family cultivated, thinned and harvested them, the company fur nishing the water for irrigating. The family -lived in a tent all summer, and at the end of the season, "five months, the man drew a check for $940 for the summer's work of himself and family. He went back to Ellsworth county to spend the winter agreeing to return and raise beets again this spring. iOT GO. Washburn Baseball Team Fuss Like Children. Trip Temporarily Abandoned But Afterward Fixed Up. The row that has been threatening the dissolution of the Washburn base ball team resulted in preventing the teals from leaving on the Iowa, Mis souri and Nebraska trip this morning as was planned. The team was to have played at the William Jewell college at Liberty, Mo., today, but at a late hour last night it was determined that the troubles of the members of the team could not be patched up, and a tele gram was seat to cancel the game for today. Meetings were held at Whiting hall at the college last night that were at tt nded by over a hundred members of the student body of the college. The meetings lasted until after midnight, i anu me nine was Mpem. in wrangling over fhe list of nlnvers who were to go on the trip. It was decided to take eleven men on the trip, and the names of twelve per sons were presented as the ones who should be taken. The question was finally narrowed down to one of three of the players who should stay at home. The three were Hackenstoee, Doane and Cook. Cook is an excellent player, and he was wanted on the team. Manager Ritchie wanted Backenstoee to be one of the members of the team, it is claimed because he voted for Anderson for captain, and Captain Moss, backed by Omar Mehl and Worsley, wanted Doane taken on the trip because they claimed he was the best player. Matters came to such a pass last night that Manager Ritchie talked of resigning, and Captain Moss. Mehl and orsley refused to go on the trip un-k- Doane was taken. The eligibility committee of the college of which Professor W. A. Harshburger is chairman is partly responsible for the settlement c-f the trouble. The commit tee ruled that Cook, who played at Ot tawa last year was not eligible to the n im here under the Topeka conference rules, inasmuch as he had not been in school here one year before entering atnietics. it was admitted that he could ploy with the team in any games with colleg'es not working under the Topeka conference rules, but the eligibility com n utee took the position that the team should not be changed for some of the gmei!. but that so long as the college w is under the Topeka conference rules, the team should be governed by those rules regardless of whether games were played with teams outside the agree ment. The report of the eligibility committee was presented to the board of control at a meeting todav noon and a compromise was effected by the agreement to drop Cook from the team and to allow Back enstoee and Doane to go on the trip. The team will therefore leave tomor- f fVniis Prv Goods Co, I t t We received this morning H H S 1 9 Bin One line contains 1,000 yards Fancy Striped Curtain Swisses, 4 choice patterns, 36-in. wide- I Qr Price.

Texan Says He Is Not After the Pres idential Nomination. Washington, April 17. Referring to the suggestion that he would be an available candidate for president, Sena tor Bailey of Texas said today: "It is of course gratifying to me that men with whom I have served in con gress should deem me worthy and capa ble of the presidency, but what has been said has been without any suggestion on my part, and whatever movement may have been placed on foot has been without my participation. I do not ex pect the Democratic presidential nomi nation and this kindly mention by par tial friends will not mislead me as to the real situation which is presented. 1 have always considered the president beyond me and beyond any southern man of my generation. My highest am bition has always been to serve my peo ple faithfully in the senate and my ex pectation is that my public life will close when I retire from the senate." Notwithstanding Senator Bailey's view of the matter, his old friends in the house are determined to bring him to the attention of the country as a presidential candidate. Representative Champ Clark said to day that he and not Colonel Cochran was the pioneer of the Bailey boom. "For three years in my lectures I have been nominating him for president." said Mr. Clark, "and what is being said now is but the confirmation of impres sions I have long entertained. He is incomparably the piost representative Democrat in the nation, the most con servative, the ablest and the most avail able. The discussion of the matter during the next two years will not weaken this statement, but is certain to convince the party and the country that it is correct." Colonel Cochran said: "I have been for Bailey for the nomination for two years, and the reasons which I assigned in my interview yesterday are growing stronger and will be apparent enough to the Democratic masses by the time the national convention is held."

Died Four Hours ISefore It Be came Absolute. Deserted AVife Cared For by Mrs. A. A. Hobinsoii and Others. A suit over the property left by Mrs. Jennie Johnson has been brought in the district court by her husband, Wni. Johnson, who deserted her. He is now in Topeka, and asks to have an ex erutor appointed and to share in the property that she left. Johnson deserted his w ife in October, 1900. He was in the restaurant busi ness on Kansas avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets. He left his wife with two children, one a five weeks' old baby. She was very sick, and although she owned some property she vvai ia destitute circumstances as regards ready funds. She even found after her husband had left her that he had given a bill of sale to the restaurant, and none to Colorado, it was supposed with a-iother woman. Mrs. Johnson was cared for by neigh bors. Mrs. A. A. Robinson and Mrs. I.. S. Woolverton interested themselves in her and cared for her. In a short time the babv died. Mrs. Johnson was weak and failing. She wished to arrange her affairs in order that if she died her re maining child might receive the benefit of her property. In order to do this, and in order to prevent her husband who abandoned her from having any right to claim her property, she secured a divorce, which was not contested. Foui' hours and a half before the six months expired, which according to law would make the divorce absolute, Mrs. Johnson died. She held an insur ance policy for tl.ooo and owned a half intt rest in some property in Pueblo val ued at 2.Qtj(). Her will named L. S. Woolverton as executor. Wednesday afternoon Johnson appeared before the probate court and requested that Clare Siayton be appointed administrator. In ordr to settle the controversy Probate Judge Fagan appointed H. M. Philips administrator. Troutman Stone ap pealed as the attorneys for Johnson and W. F. Schoeh represented the estate. This morning Mr. Schoch filed a case in the district court asking the. court to construe the will, as since the death of Mrs. Johnson, and only last month the surviving child, .Donald Johnson, died at F.riebtside school, Plymouth. Jnd., and according to the will John Olson, a brother of Mrs. Johnson, is named as the heir. The will will be contested by Johnson on the ground that tne divorce had not be come absolute, as Mrs. Johnson died four hours and a half before the six months had expired. The parties rep resenting the estate will claim that the law providing for the expiration of six months to make the will absolute is not 'Intended to refer to property rights. The petition in the case sets forth the following: 'Plaintiff alleges that Jennie Johnson fit the time of her death was the owner of a one-half interest in certain real property, to wit: Lot IB. block 120, in smith's addition to the city of Pueblo, county of Puebio and state of Colorado which said undivided one-half interest In said real estate is of the probable value of Sl'.iicO: that by the terms of aid last will and testament aforesaid plie directed that plaintiff herein, as executor and trustee of her estate, sell ?aid property and use the proceeds thereof in the education and support fe icuivb lorwara to tne Hour when she shall feel the exquisite thrill of motherhood with indescribable dread and .af; -u ,VCTy woman shold know that the danger, pain and horror Ot child-birth can be entirely avoided bv the use of Mother's Friend, a scientific liniment for external use only, which toughens and renders nltable a 1 the- rwrt-c o,t 53 assists nature in its sublime r work.

"Plaintiff further alleges that said Jennie Johnson by the terms of her last will and testament directed plaintiff and defendants, John Olson and Emma Khodes as trustees of her estate, to take charge of and receive as guardians of her minor children, the proceeds of a beneficiary certificate held by her in th Knights and Ladies of Security, and to appropriate arid use the same from time to time as might be necessary in the care, maintenance and education of her sons, Donald Johnson and Kenneth Johnson. "Plaintiff further alleges that subse quent to the death of Jennie Johnson, he as such trustee and guardian aforesaid, received from the Knights and Ladies of Security, the proceeds of said benefic iary certificate to wit: The sum of $$57.7.). a portion of which said sum has heretofore been used in the support and maintenance of Donald Johnson deceas ed, and that he is ready to turn over to the administrator of the estate of Don ald Johnson, the remainder thereof to wit, it:34.07.

That no notice of appeal from said judgment was given within ten days; that no ap peal was ever taken from said judgment or decree of divorce granted as afore said. "Plaintiff further alleges that the real estate last above described was inheri ted by Jennie Johnson from her deceas ed parents, long prior to the granting of said de'ree of divorce, and that her husband. Wililam Johnson, never at any time had any interest therein other than such as resulted to him by reason of his being the husband of deceased. "Plaintiff further alleges that on the 12rh day of October, A. IX 1900, defend ant. William Johnson, wilfully abandon ed Jennie Johnson and her children. Donald and Kenneth .Johnson: that Kenneth Johnson at the time of said wilful abandonment was an infant one month and three days of age; that he left his family during the sickness in cident to the birth of Kenneth Johnson, and that for several days and nights after the birth of their infant child as aforesaid, he wilfully and without cause, absented himself from home; that he neglected, failed and refused to furnish his wife with a nurse during her sick ness and neglected, failed and refused to furnish her and her children with food and clothing: that food and cloth ing and other necessaries of life were furnished by the neighbors of Mrs. Johnson; that he finally left the state and had contributed nothing to the sup port (f his wife and children up to the time of the decree of divorce and the making and publishing of the last will and testament of deceased; that he went from Topeka.

Wilmarth. The impressive ring service was read by Rev. J. T. McFarland at 8:30. It was one of the prettiest weddings imaginable and was characterized by the extreme taste and simplicity in all of the appoint ments. The bridal party stood in the second parlor in front of the mantle which was built up with palms and Easter lilies, mingled with orange blossoms from California which shed a soft fragrance through the rooms. Between all of the double doorways were graceful white lace draperies festooned with Alabama smilax as well as our own variety, tied with white satin ribbons. The first parlor was entirely in green; white carnations were the flowers used and the chandeliers were festooned with smilax. The banisters were wound with smilax which made a pretty set ting for the dainty gowns. The dining room was radiant in red and green. The sideboard was backed with asparagus ferns and palms with vases of red carnations in the midst. The table, however, was the spot which attracted all eyes. It was bare with the exception of a large square of exquisite Battenburg. On this rested a round mirror plateau which reflected a crystal candelabrum holding flaming red can dles. Festoons of red ribbons extended from the smilax wound chandelier to the corners of the table where they ended in butterfly bows. On the corners were cut glass dishes of bon bons. Preceding the ceremony Miss Vera Low sang "Thou Art All to Me," very sweetly, and as the last notes died away, Steinberg's orchestra in the music room adjoining the second parlor, sounded the notes of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and little Misses Elizabeth Edson and Dorothy Nichols in fluffy white frocks, entered carrying the pale blue satin rib bons which outlined a pathway f r the bridal party. Following them was Dr. McFarland, then the groomsmen, Mr. Archie Williams and Mr. W. A. Alexan der; they were followed by the brides maids. Miss Mary Thompson and Miss Ivah Davis. The maid of honor, Miss Myda Cross of Washington, D. C, pre ceded the bride who walked alone. Mr. WTilmarth and his best man, Mr. D. E. Nelson of Chicago, entered from an ad joining room and met them with Mr. Cross who gave the bride away. The orchestra played softly during the cere mony and at the close struck up a live ly air which dispelled any trace of sad ness there might have been. The bride who has been one of To peka's prettiest and most popular socie ty girls, was charming in a beautiful gown of white crepe de chine over soft white silk. The gown was in princess effect and was composed of diagonal folds of the crepe de chine extending from the throat to the bottom of the skirt which was en train. The yoke and collar were of heavy Irish point and flaring cuffs of the same turned hack over puffy undersleeves of white chiffon; the upper parts of the sleeves were com posed of folds corresponding to the rest of the gown. The front of the bodice was relieved with a full jabot of white chiffon edged with tiny ruchings and caught at the top with the groom's gift, a diamond and pearl sun burst. Her long lace edged chiffon veil was held in place with a cluster of orange blossoms and fell to the bottom of her train. She carried an armful of bridal roses and toward the close of the ceremony she handed them to her maid of honor who held an armful of pink roses and she presented a very pretty picture with her load of pink and white blossoms. The maid of honor wore a beautiful gow'n of white French organdy trimmed with Mechlin lace. The bodice was con posed of lace and tucks and the skirt was an elaborate affair in Empire style.

A new incentive has been created as en inducement for young men to com plete the high school course in Topeka. One of the heads of a department at the Santa Fe office building here has announced that hereafter graduates of tee high school will be given preference In filling- vacancies in the office force. This custom was begun nearly a year iiko, and lias resulted in the establish ment of a permanent custom in this department to employ only graduates from the high school. The plan may spread from this department to all the departments of the entire general ofliee building. The plan is of great advant age to the employer, inasmuch as it furnishes employes who have an edu cation and are worthy of every promo tion that may come to them, and are also callable of understanding their work and taking care of any and all work that may come to them by pro motions. "I have arranged for two graduates of the high school to accept positions in tlie department to which I refer," said principal L. U. Whittemore to a re porter for the State Journal today. "The gentleman who is in charge of i this department explained to me at the 1 time we arranged for the first graduate I to accept a position in that department, J that he had always heretofore been troubled by having to hire boys and j young men who were without sufficient education to make them eligible to the promotions that might come to them. Tne selection of high school graduates Is in itself a guaranty that the young men selected will be proficient and that their education will entitle them to all the advances that may come to them in regular order. "The two high school graduates," con tinued Principal Whittemore, "were employed at a higher salary than those who have gone into the office before the Inauguration of the new plan. This is a just recognition, and I am happy to say I hope many of our graduates will ultimately find their way into posi tions of this kind where promotion is sure to be rapid." TO BE SETTLED IN R03IE. Decision Reached Regarding the Church Lands in Philippines. "Washington, April 17. Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, had a conference with Secretary Hoot today following a talk he has had with the president re-e-pecting the Philippines friar lands ques tion. It was the idea of Archbishop Ire land and Bishop O'Gorman to have this complex question settled directly at Rome. Instead of through the archbishop of Manila, who, they pointed out. would have been obliged to delay proceedings greatly by frequent reference of every important phase of the negotiations to liis superiors in the Vatican. The gov ernment here has come to accept the Ireland and O'Connor view as the most businesslike proposition and that is why Governor Taft will ptop at Rome on his way back to Manila and endeavor to arrange directly the basis for an agree ment for the transfer of the lands to the Philippine government in trust for the Philippine people. Mgr. Sbarretti favored a settlement of the question at Manila, in which case he would have been appointed archbishop and would have undertaken the work l imself In behalf of the religious orders. The decision in favor of Rome will in volve a change in his plans. YOl Mi (iOl LI) INJIREI). Thrown From Hi3 Pony in a Practice Polo Game. X'w York, April IT.

More Councilnien Fail Out With Mayor Parker. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE It is All About a Few City Ap pointments. Republicans Think Mayor Shows I'njust Discrimination. The "community of interest" which has heretofore existed between Mayor Parker and sorrfe of the members of the city council seems to have suffered a severe shock. It was the Judd case which brought the trouble to an open rupture. Coun cilman Hergundtha! of the First ward led a revolt against Mayor Parker, and Councilmen Weber and Nichols, both of whom have been staunch administra tion men. followed Bergundthal's lead. The tirst sign of this open hostility was given at the council meeting Mon day night, when Councilman Griley. in speaking on the Judd case, admin istered a hot rebuke to Councilman Weber for refusing to vote with the "administration" in favor of prosecut ing the case against Judd. Weber is to be punished for his dis obedience in the same way Bergundthal was punished. His voice in the mat ter of appointments is to be disregard ed. Two new men were appointed Tues day at the city electric light plant, as was reported in the State Journal. Concilman Weber is a member of the electric light plant committee, but the appointments were made without his knowledge. He was not asked to help in making the selections, and did not know the appointments had been made until he saw the news in the State Journal. "I do not know who made the ap pointments." said Mr. Weber today. "1 have been trying to get a meeting of the committee on electric lights, but none has been called." The electric light committee is con trolled by the Democratic members, E. II. Snyder is chair.nan and Joseph Gri ley and Mr. Weber are the other mem bers. Snyder and Griley get together and talk things over, and then tell Mayor Parker what to do. Weber is not asked to participate in the confer ences. It is likely that the work of making all the appointments at the electric light plant, a total of nine posi tions, will be made in the same way. Councilman Bergundthal, who was for a time in the administration camp, is now entirely out in the cold. When asked by a friend the other day to give him a recommendation for some city job, he said: "I wouldn't ask Mayor Parker for a pleasant smile. I wouldn't try to get a job under him for my best friend on earth." Councilman Nichols, another adminis tration man, joined in the revolt which Mr. Bergundthal started on the Judd case, and it is likely that he is classed as a rebel by the remnants of the ad ministration forces. He was one of those who urged that charges be brought against Dr. Judd. and then vo ted against prosecuting the charges. It is unfortunate that partisan poli tics should enter into municipal affairs to such an extent. City positions should be held by competent men, regardless of politics. To an outsider, it is a ludi crous spectacle to see members of the city council fighting each other for dear life for the purpose of landing a job, and rolling their political log along a few votes. Why not all get together and work for the good of Topeka? May or Parker owes his position to Repub lican as well as Democratic votes and he should continue to make his admin istration non-partisan that is what To peka wants. MAYOR PARKER'S STATEMENT. Mayor Parker is considerably worried by the situation. He said today: "I don't see what kick the Republicans can have on me. I anpointed Republicans to nearly all the principal offices. The Republicans have the street commis sioner, city engineer, superintendent of the electric plant, police judge, besides the food inspector, city physician and license collector. The only men I have really appointed since I took the office were Tim Donovan and Frank Hen dricks on the police force. I wanted those two men put back on. and I let other people select the others. Our fel lows only get to the pie counter once in about ten or fifteen years, and it is strange if we can not appoint a few shovelers and workmen to suit our selves. "I have tried to be fair h every body, but it is hard to suit nil. Vie left nearly all the Republican office holders in during the cold winter months, while our own people were out eating snow balls. While the Republican recipients of city jobs were living on the fat of the land, the Democrats were trying to per suade me to put them in. "Everybody knows that the Judd case was not decided on its merits. I had a notion to tell the council the other night when they were objecting to paying an attorney $25 or $50 to prosecute the Judd case that the city would save a great deal more than the cost by getting Judd out of that office. But that case was decided by politics, and if it should come up again, it would be decided the same way. That's just the way of it when they do anything they expect us to help them, but when we want to do anything, they buck us. "I am very sorry if any of the council men think that they have not been fair ly treated. I have tried to give all an equal chance." $50,000 FOR A 111' REN S. Heir to $50,000,000 Has Purchased It For a Museum. New York, April 17. James Henry Snith of this city, heir to the $50,000,000 estate of the late George Smith who amassed his fortune in Chicago and died not long ago in I,ondon, has pur chased Rubens' "The Holy Family" for $50,000 and presented it to the Metro politan Museum of Art. It was sold to him by Lieutenant George P. Blow, who bought it for that sum at the recent sale of the F. O. Mathiessen collection of paintings. Lieutenant Blow was re lated by marriage to the late Mr. Ma thessen. Mr. Smith was a bidder tor the painting at the recent sale but it was knocked down to Lieutenant Blow. When the former made known the fact that he had intended to present the pic ture to the museum, its sate to him was arranged. McKeever Has Liver Trouble. New York. April 17- John T.

WHITE HOUSE CHANGES. A Thorough Renovation of the Place is in Contemplation. Washington, April 17. For the first time since President Arthur's adminis tration the old White House is to have a thorough renovation on artisitc lines. Mrs. Roosevelt has had her attention called to the building and to the need of new furnishings and adorn.Tients to make the place suitable for the enter tainment of large parties. So heavy has grown the list of favored guests in the Roosevelt household that they have found it necessary to have recourse to the famous east room as a dining room, which by the way, was a part of the original design of the house. One fea ture of the plun of renovation is to turn this great east room into a state dining room, involving a transformation of the decorations in those of the colonial style, with open fire places. The present old-fashioned flooring will give place to a new parquet floor of hard polished woods, and an enormous rug specially designed to suit the decorative scheme, of the room will be woven in one piece so that the room may be easily turned into a charming ball room. The White House dining service is w strange conglomeration of antique and modern glass, silver and porcelain, and so many pieces have disappeared that it is no longer sufficient either in quality or in number of pieces to serve large dinner parties. The new service which is wanted will be of sevres porcelain. The present dining room will be used for small dinner parties. It also will be redecorated, the present yellow color scheme being obnoxious to the family. The entrance hall of the house also is to be renovated, in order that in general tone and character of decora tion it may accord with the embellished east room. In addition to these changes there is need for additional lighting fa cilities and also for a stair case to the attics, a very urgent need in case of fire, the servants now being dependent entirely upon the elevator. Much new furniture of modern style is required, in place of the nondescript now scattered through the portions of the house, de voted to social uses. To defray the expenses of this under taking an estimate of about $30,000 was submitted to congress and as reported today the sundry civil bill contains the necessary allotment. COFFELT TRIAL IS OVER Attorneys Are Now Talking in Montgomery Murder Case. Winfield, Kas., April 17 Late Thurs day the state offered the testimony of several witnesses in rebuttal in the Montgomery murder case. The defense had just finished attacking the credi bility of Bert Colby, who secured Cof felt's story of the murder. F. B. Hodg son, C. F. Clark, S. H. Montgomery, all of F.nid, Okla., testified as to the good character of Colby. The state in troduced two witnesses, Chas. D. Ber ker of Winfield and J. M. Harmon of Emporia for the purpose of impeach ing the testimony of Robert Jackson (colored) of Bliss, who had said he saw Cofi'elt on the Bliss platform the even ing of the murder. They showed that Jackson had told the county attorney of this county a few days after the murder that it was the day after the murder that he saw him. After this the defense asked to introduce certain witnesses in surrebutlal, to show the good character of Jackson, but were denied. Both sides then announced t'iat the evidence was all in, and Judge Law rence stated the order of the argu ments, which was as follows: The state should open, followed by two ar guments by the defense, then one by the state, one by the defense, the state closing. C. W. Roberts opened the ar gument, giving a clear history and ap plication of the testimony. He was fol lowed by H. C. Hargis for the defense. It is the prevalent opinion here that the state has a good case. The de fense's alibi was rather weak in the re spect that their witnesses were not of the best, and the stories they told, while they held together in the main, were weak in detail. The arguments are continuing today, and may close late this afternoon. IRON UNSETTLED. Market Appears to Be in a Feverish Condition. New Tork, April 17. Buying- of pi? iron is restricted, says the Iron Age, to urgent requirements, since the greater H number of tne foundries have now cov ered their requirements far into the fu ture. In some cases, apparently, the profit obtainable by re-selling is too tempt ing and odd iots are coming into the market in that way. In both foun dry and Bessemer iron prices are iron $2 to $3 above the "official" figures, which have ceased to be any basis of current transactions. The attempt to feel the foreign market by inquiries for a round lot of Bessemer pig has devel oped the fact that no iron can be laid down in this country, duty paid, at prices anywhere near the market, an. 3 the effort to seek relief in that direction has been abandoned. The stoel rail situation is well reflected by the fact that recently a 10. 000 ton order was placed in Germany for a trolley road in Now York state, the rails fetching1 $;3 ex-ship as against $2 at the mill the "offieiur quotation. As a matter of fact. rails for relay have been sold by railroads at $-S. There have been large offerings of old steel ra ils from Europe. In the heavy line of finished iron and steel the reports continue extremely favor able. The tonnage of structural work which Is being closed is large. Thus, this week, seven new buildings in Philadelphia. PitTfburg. New York and Brooklyn call for 12.-00 tons of material, and some largt additional contracts nre in sight. The plate mills, too. are being pushed. Orders are being placed in some instances for delivery. In the pipe trade an interesting contract involves ll.ood tons of pipe for an oil line, which is to be followed by 3.o tons more. Pressure for deliveries on bars, sheets, wire and other lighter lines con tinue. LIVING IS HIGHER. New York Restaurants Advance the Prices of Meats. New Tork, April 17. Popular price restaurants of this city have advanced prices of steaks and roasts of beef an average of five cents, owing to the con tinued rise in the price of beef. High priced restaurants have made no change, as their margin of profit is larger. Retail prices for fresh vegetables, butter, eggs, poultry, beans and even canned goods are now quoted at the markets from 10 to 40 per cent, higher than a year ago. To Commemorate His Birth. Mew Tork, April IT. The seventy fifta anniversary of the birth of the Rev. Gustav Gotheil, on May 28, will be commemorated by the congregation of Temple Emanuel by founding a fel lowship of $15,000 at Columbia univer sity.

Reported That Harry Ricliter's Friends Have Eyes Open. Compromise by Renominating Him For Old Place. RUMOU IS DISCREDITED Hailey's Friends Say He Doesn't Have to Make Deals. May Be New Candidate For State Treasurer. A rumor is floating around in the po litical atmosphere that there is a move ment on foot to give Harry Richter a third term as lieutenant governor. The move is said to have been started by Mr. Richter's friends. Where the report originated no one seems to know, but it has pained con siderable circulation. One version is that there is a deal on foot whereby the friends of Wr.. J. Bailey will give Richter the second place on the ticket in return for Richter's retirement from the (race, but this is denied by some of Bailey's supporters. "Bailey doesn't have to make any deals to get anybody to withdraw," said a Bailey man today. "He will be nom inated anyway and he doesn't have to make any agreements with anybody. He can paddle his own canoe and let the candidates for the other offices light it out among themselves. I think Richter would like to make a deal of that kind. In fact, I understand some of his friends have intimated as much, and when the Bailey fellows make no response to it Richter comes around and tells what a terrific light he is going to put up." Mr. Richter himself denied the rumor today. He said he is a candidate for governor and nothing else. He admitted having heard the report about the lieu tenant governorship, but said it had no foundation other than the fact that sev eral state senators have said they would like to see him preside over the senate again the coming winter. Few Republican politicians have look ed upon Mr. Richter's candidacy for governor with any degree of seriousness. The renewal of the fight on Tom Kelly has set the politicians to dis cussing the probability of a new candi date for state treasurer. If Mr. Kelly is forced out of the race, it is possible that there may be a new candidate for the place. J. P. Rhodes, the Anderson county candidate, seems to be taking things very quietly, and his friends give it out that he will, be nominated. But speculation is rife as to who the new candidate will be, in case a new one is brought out. One guess is that it may be H. B. Miller, the Osage county can didate for governor. Miller is conceded to be a first-class man and he is strong wherever he fs well known, but the ma jority of the politicians do-not think lie has any show of winning the guberna torial nomination, while he might get that of state treasurer. Another guess is that it may be George E. Cole, who has made an exceptionally fine record as state auditor and who recently withdrew from the gubernatorial race after he had a fine string of delegates to his credit. William Thomson, for several years on the bench in. the Thirty-fifth judi cial district, composed of Osage, Wa baunsee and Pottawatomie counties, and who was turned down by Governor Stanley for the appointment, will be a candidate for the nomination for judge this year against R. C. Heizer, Gov ernor Stanley's appointee. Judge Thomson has a strong following, and believes he can win the nomination, notwithstanding the fact that Governor Stanley and the supreme court went against him. Judge C. W. Smith was renominated by the Republican judicial convention in the Thirty-fourth judicial district at Goodland yesterday. He is the only judge the district ever had. He was first appointed to the place by Governor Humphrey, back in the eighties, and has been elected three times since, and yesterday was nominated for another four years' term. His district has been largely Populist in the past, but he has never failed to receive a big majority. George J. Barker has announced him self for renomination to the legislature from Douglas county. J. L. Brady, ed itor of the Lawrence World, and E. T. Riling are candidates against him. If he wins Barker will be a candidate for speaker again this year. Governor Stanley attended the judi cial convention at Goodland yesterday, lie is renewing his acquaintances over the state and incidentally acting nice to probable Republican candidates for the legislature. A GENERAL UPRISING Is Predicted in Hayti If Tries to Hang On. Sam New Tork, April 17. Advices from Port Au Prince by way of Kingston, Jamaica, are, says the Herald, indica tive of a far more serious state of af fairs in Hayti than is generally known to the outside world. The recent up rising in the vicinity of Jacmel, which was quickly suppressed, is, according to the Herald's informant but a forerunner of serious trouble for President .Sam. The letter continues. "The political situation here is most serious and every indication points to a general uprising of the people of Hayti if President Simon Sam persists in his announced intention of attempt ing to remain in power after May 15 on which date his term expires. Many citi zens have .been imprisoned throughout the republic. In Port Au Prince the prisons were not sufficiently strong and the government gunboats were used. "The entire city of Port Au Prince is in a state of excitement. Ail doors of buildings are kept closed whenever pos sible in fear of conflict between the two factions." Committee Reports. Pittsburg, Pa., April 17.

Indianapolis Nearly Frantic Over De predations at Night. Indianapolis, April 17. Scarcely a night but what the police are, called to investigate attempted assaults on wo men, the offenders being usually eol orded men, and within 10 days there have been a number of aggravated cases of this kind. Night before last, while Mrs. Otto Mowe, of Linden street, was walking in the vicinity of her home, pushing a baby carriage, some man sprang from an alley opening and struck her in the face, cutting her lips severely, and then tried to force his hand oyer her mouth. The woman wrenched loose and screamed. People ran to her rescue and the scamp escaped. Late last night, as Miss Bertha Call and her mother, of McCarty street, were walking homeward from church they noticed a negro walking behind, to whom they paid no attention. At the mouth of the first alley the negro stooped and caught Miss Call by the ankle, throwing her to the sidewalk, but the mother sprang to her assist ance, and their united screams quickly brought aid. The negro escaped down the alley. This is a type of offenses which are becoming numerous and are arousing much bad blood. Recently both whites and blacks have taken to congregating on street cor ners, addressing insulting remarks to passing women, in nearly every in stance insulting ladies whose dress and bearing indicate they belong to the bet ter class and are not likely to make complaint because of the publicity at tached. The police are well nigh frantic in their desire to come up with these scoundrels. In addition, the celebrated Bungaloo gang, having many of the character istics of the Deer creek gang of Cin cinnati, have recommenced depreda tions. Property is wrecked and pedes trians on unfrequented streets are as saulted. Aibert Miller, of Howard street, com pleted a two-story business and resi dence block, only to find today that the Bungaloos had wrecked every win dow in the building, even the weather boarding vanishing under the heavy bombardment of stones. It is not ex aggerating the situation to say that the lynching fever is in the air on account of the offenses against women and girls, and some night there will be a deadly reckoning. CURTIS WAS ANGRY. Elevator Served Senators First and Left Him to Wait. Washington, April 17. Representative Curtis of Kansas, escorting three ladies, stood at the elevator shaft at the main floor of the senate and rang the electric bell. As the car was descending there came three signals from the basement, and the elevator hurried down to carry up Senator Burnham. Three rings from the top lloor caused the elevator man to hasten up for Senator Elkins. This was twice- that the representative had been passed, and he was becoming angry. Just as the car arrived with Senator Elkins there came another three rings from the basement, and down again went the elevator man. By this time the Kansas representative was, very warm. He yelled for the car to come back, but his voice echoed vainly down the shaft. Finally, after three senators had been carried to their respective destinations, the elevator car was at the representative's service. "If you were on the house side." he ex claimed to the elevator conductor, his patience all exhausted, "I would have you fired in five minutes." Mil. CRANE EXPLAINS IT. Tells Why an Open Grave Was Found at Cemetery. Mr. F. L. Crane, son of D. O. Crane, now explains the circumstances about the finding of an open grave in the To peka cemetery. "We were moving the remains to an other grave," said Mr. Crane, "and hav ing started late in the afternoon had not yet uncovered the casket when we cjuit for the night, with the intention of resuming the work -early in the morning. The grave was of a boy who was buried in 1865. A hole was left, but the remains were not exposed, and if Sergeant Owens saw the glass face of the coffin, which was so badly de cayed that it almost had to be shoveled out, he got into the grave and lifted off the decayed lid of the casket. We had been officially notified by relatives to remove the remains to another place. The theory of grave robbers would naturally cause trouble with the pa trons of the cemetery, and we want the affair righted." STEWART TO GO IN. Changes Mind About Entering Repub lican Primary. J. N. Stewart, who announced that he would not go before the Republican primaries in the First commissioner dis trict May 17 to secure the nomination for county commissioner, has changed his mind. Both J. N. Stewart and S. H. Haines have paid the assessment of S6o to Chairman Ryder of the commissioner district committee. The new primary was called on account of the irregu larities in Menoken precinct at the reg ular primaries. Stewart announced that he would be an independent can didate. Who Hit Mr. Cooney? The case of assault against Alfred Hylt was concluded in the city court Wednesday afternoon by the discharge of the defendant. A jury of six de cided that he was not guilty of the alleged assault. It is morally certain that someone is guilty, as Mr. Tom Cooney, the complaining witness, ap peared before the city court some days since with his face tied up in a rag. The sad story is something like this: Hylt purchased a farm in Menoken township, alongside of the place leased by Cooney. Hylt had a survey made, and proceeded to remove an obnoxious fence, which was formerly the prop erty of Cooney. but according to the current survey was on the premises oi Hylt. Cooney came out and filed strenuous objections to the destruction of the fence, and used language which incited Hylt to cast his hammer at the person of Mr. Cooney. who caught the implement on his countenance, thereby receiving injuries for which he wanted the court to do business with Mr. Hylt. A majority of Menoken township was in attendance at the trial. Strike in Bituminous. Altoona, Pa., April 17. Another strike has taken place in the central bitumin ous district. The miners employed by the Webster Coal Coke company l.t Ehrenfeld, Cambria county, went out to day, alleging that the company does not pay the district scale, does not recognize the miners' organization and refuses to allow the check-off. Trouble has been brewing since the company recently dis charged a number of union workers. The strike will probably extend to the Web ster company's other mines employing about 5.000 men. The Wrebster company I is the third largest in this district. TO DAI 'S 3AKKET KEP011T. Chicago. April 17. WHEAT Bulls had the better of the weather argument at the opening today and with it pressed wheat prices higher.

The inquiry un der "John Doe" proceeding's into the death of James McAuliffe was contin ued today by District Attorney Jerome. McAuliffe- died after spending a night in a police station cell, and the charge has been made in print that he was beaten while a prisoner. A number of persons were pxanined j today, among- them a new witness in the person of Mrs. Joseph Luigs. wife of a Houoken longshoreman, who was vis iting; friends in this city on the day be fore McAuliffe died. She said that the next morning (Sunday) she was walk ing near the station where McAuliffe was a prisoner and saw two men assist "a sick man" down the steps and push him into a cab. She also said she saw a policeman order another man away from the steps. These two statements are corroborative of testimony which l ad been given before. After Mis. Luigs' statement had been taken down District Attorney Jerome announced that the woman had identi fied an officer who had been brought face to face with her as one of the men who helped "the sick man" down the steps.

More Trouble About Collection of License Fee. Events of a Day With Topeka Peace Guardians. PKW noble reds were pres ent when police court con vened this morning. They were Sam Bosley, Johnnie Phcxie-gal- and Mister Shep-sha-wano. It is such a pleasure for the court to fine Indians. They always plead guilty and never knock on the price. "Were vou people drunk?" asked the court. "Mighty near it." answered one who acted as spokes man for the trio. Five per. Some lady friends of Mister Shep-sha-wano called and paid him out of the bastiie. His fellow jagsters stayed in the game. In dians are not the only people who look upon the white horse mixture when -it is full of snakes.- Messrs. Ed Johnson, Jim Stumbaugh, Lou Maze and Chas. Mc Laln, also faced the terrible proposition. But they were not as easily satisfied as the red brothers, who carry the white man's burden of bad boose without a murmur. No, these pale faces are dif ferent. Only one of them knew he was drunk. McLain admitted the corn and was assessed ten. The others will be kept in durance viie until 4 p. m. when the night men who arrested them will come in to convict the fruits of the even ing's toil. M. L. Fields, principal of Lincoln school, led a small boy named Elsworth Haley into the police station Wednes day afternoon and charged him with stealing books from the school. The boy,, who does not look like a thief, stoutly denied the charge, and said he had taken no books from the school except serine unused ones which had belonged to an older brother. The boy told such a straight story that he was released on his own promise to return and stand trial at 4 o'clock today. City License Collector P. H. Forbes has secured the nrrest of another batch of hackmen who refuse to pay license on their vehicles. Wm. Newbey, Wm. Lawless, John McAffee and Policeman Frank Summers who owns a hack, were all arrested. They are represented by Attorney Joseph Ensminger. who also conducted the test case last summer, when Charles Roberts, one of the hack men who were arrested for this heinous crime, was picked out as the subject. He was fined 'i in police court, and the case was appealed, but when Attorney Ensminger broached the subject in dis trict court, he discovered that the trans cript of the case had not been filed. It has been filed since, and the present cases will probably be held over pend ing a decision in the Roberts case. The hackmen object to the ordinance on the grounds that it Is discriminating ssainst them and unjust, because it does not affec buses and other -conveyances w hich are their rivals in business. The Wiggins and Raynor booze cases are continued to t?je 25th. James or Jim "Vv illiams certainly is a victim of hard luck. He Is a vag who was picked up for begging on the street. When he came before the court last evening he told his story. He admitted that he was begging for something to eat, and also said that he was sick and hungry, and without friends, having been discharged from the penitentiary a short time ago, and that he was wait ing in Topeka for a package which was to come to him here by mail. He said he would leave a forwarding address and get out of town if allowed to do so, but the court fined him to, which is the usual method of giving a man who is trying to travel on an uphill grade, a push. Another vag, a negro giving: the name of John Brown, who was found by a policeman in the engine room of the Page mill, was discharged, and told to leave town. His personal property con sisted of a corkscrew and a pair of dice He said he had been chased out of Kansas City, had gone to Denver, and was chased out of that town. He is a much chased mortal. PLAGUE AT SYDNEY. Eighteen Deaths Reported in Two Weeks. Victoria, B. C, April 17. The steamer Moana, of the Canadian-Australian line, which arrived this morning from Sydney, New Zealand, Fiji, and Hono lulu, brought 200 passengers, many of them distinguished Australians on their way to London to attend the corona tion ceremonies. The surgeon of the Moana reports that in Sydney thei'e were IS deaths from bubonic pl"r-ue during the two weeks prior to March 25. and one death at Brisbane. Australian papers say that the story under Paris date of February 16, re garding a massacre of a French party of scientists in New Guinea, is news to the residents of the southern colony, no report of such a massacre having been received there. The steamer Mambare recently re turned to Sydney from the South Sea islands. I'pon arriving at Tanna it was reported that the natives were holding a big feast and were eating several other natives who had been cap tured or killed during a tribal engage ment. One of the bodies eaten was taken from the ground where it had been for twelve days.

Following the earthquake shock a tidal wave occurred. It rose to a height of 15 feet and washed away boats and trade sheds. The German warship Cormoran re cently visited an outlying island Of New Britain to punish the natives re sponsible for the murder of Mr. Meincke. a scientist, and members of his party.

Assassination of Russian Minister Slay Affect Railroad Contracts. St. Petersburg, Aprii 17. Although M. Sipiaguine, the minister of the interior, who was assassinated April 15, was not actually the leader of the reactionary party in Russia, he was the tool of those who, in the opinion of many, were re sponsible for the prevailing situation His assassination, easily explicable in the present political condition, was hailed with joy in radical circles. For a month there has been daily rumors of Slpiaguine's impending resignation, ow ing to disagreements with the governor general of Moscow, the Grand Duke Sergius, who has been supporting the novel policy towards the working class es instituted by M. Trepoff, the police prefect of Moscow, which includes the organization of labor unions under po lice control. The murdered minister's name was also mixed up with the stor ies of financial irregularities alleged against so many officials at present. Sipiaguine spent immense sums in re decorating his residence. A single chan delier alone cost 50,000 roubles and he was accused of appropriating 500,003 roubles from the secret service funds.' The deceased was by no means talented, and owed his position to influential friends, especially to Count Shermetieff, the bosom friend of Czar Alexander III. and to the dowager czarina, who is largely under Count Shermetieff's influ ence. Shortly before the deceased count was appointed minister of the interior he married the elder sister of Couht Shermetieff's wife, the Princess Viasem ski, a brilliant wdman, 38 years of age who is now a warm, friend of the czar ina. The death of Sipiaguine may material ly affect the chances of Murry A, Ver ner, the millionaire Pittsburg contractor of securing the St. Petersburg tramway franchise, as the deceased was a notable supiorter of Mr. Verner's propooition and overruled the committee which had recommended the Westinghouse offer. The matter possibly is now indefinitely postponed. Many people think that the death of Sipiaguine will help the aspirations of M. Witte, the finance minister who has long been ambitious to become imperial chancellor, or, at least obtain control of the ministery interior. T'nusually grave labor outbreaks are reported at Yekaterinoslav. Poltavii, Voroniej. and Tambov. The details are rigorously suppressed. Boston's Beer Fight. Boston, April 17.

0 The Majority of People Rave Impure and Poisoned Blood Coursing Through the Body in Springtime. fdnzs Celery Compound h the Fountain of Health from T hich the Disease Laden May Draw a Fresh Supply of Vitality and Health. A Cure of Blood Poisoning That lias Commanded the Attention of Thousands. Is your blood impure, poisoned, or sluggish?

Lincoln J, Carter's production, "Two Little Waifs," was presented to an ap preciative audience at the Crawford last night. Although it has some of the ioud features of "The Bowery After Lark," a casual observer could easily tell them apart. If you want to see melodrama go to a Lincoln J. Carter production. It was easily the best melo drama of the season, barring "Arizona," which can hardly be called a melo drama. Carter's plays are all g-ood, and this one was handled by a competent company, who used the best of stage settings and scenery. The work of. the players, individually and collectively did justice to the play, and the children in the cast were far ahead of any juv enile team ever seen in Topeka. Their little songs in the first act won the house, and they were heartily encored. They did not have the prematurely aged look of most stage children, and seemed to enjoy their parts. Miss Carrall, who played the dual role of twin sisters, made some startling changes, particu larly in the third act, where she traded places with a substitute before the eyes of the audience so smoothly that many did not realize the deception. Some startling climaxes are introduced in the play, but the wholesale slaughter of the usual melodrama was averted, and no shots were fired. "Two Little Waifs" was a good show by a good oonpany P. S. The property man should oil the "snow" machine before the next stand. Its creaking spoiled a most pathetic scene. Eer Son's Life Saved by Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. "A neighbor ran in with a bottle of Chamberlain s Colic. Cholera and Diar rhoea Kemedy when my son was suffering with severe cramps and was given up as bvond hope by my regular physician, who stands high in his profession." After administering three doses of it my son re- raiiu'd consciousness and recovered entire y within 24 hours," says Mrs. Mary Hallor of Mt. Crawford, Va. This remedy is for tsaie by ail druggists. Wheatling is the most delicious, healthful and nutritious breakfast food on the market. EVER GET 44 FULL" On Other Things Than Liquor. It is profitable for anyone to study food in order to regulate the health, not with medicine but by building up healthy nerve centers with good food. A man who has made something of a study on this line writes from Iowa City: "When I first tried Crape-Nuts it was at the table of a prominent state official and the remarkable taste attract ed roe. I afterwards investigated the subject carefully and discovered that Crape-Nuts contains dextrose sugar. The starchy part of the food is trans formed into starch sugar or dextrose. Those same results are produced by the digestive organs by the action of the saliva and the pancreatic juices on starchy foods. These facts convinced me that Grape-Nuts is a natural, pre-digest-ed food and just what I required and needed. I had been suffering from a full feel ing just after meals and generally mora or less headache. All this trouble left when I quit using white bread, warm biscuits, etc. It was about this time I came home from school, broken down physically and mentally. I only weighed 120 pounds. At my earnest request Mother beg.ui serving Grape-Nuts every men 1 and she said she had never eaten anything that agreed with her physical condition as did my "new food" as she termed it. In five weeks I weighed 133 pounds, a rain of 13 pounds, and I feel so strong that I have been able to do from 10 to 15 hours of hard work daily. My mind has never seemed so clear before and I am thoroughly convinced that there is no food like Crape-Nuts to produce health and a strong- and clear brain." 3ws Arlington, Box 1755, Iowa City, la. 100 HUES AN HOUR. Record Breaking Run of C. IS. Q. Train. .Chicago, April 17. The world's rec ord has been broken in a run of 14-3 miles on the western division of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railway, when an average of nearly 100 miles an hour was made by a regular passenger train. Details of the trip were made public today by F. S. Kustis, passenger traffic manager of the Burlington sys tem. The run was made by train No. 6 east-bound, which left Denver March 24 behind time.

In order to make up time a heavy head of steam vvas put on, and between Eekley and "Wray, a distance of 14. H miles, the remarkable time of nine minutes was made a rate of 98.7 miles an hour. "It is the fastest time ever made for a run of any length," said Mr. Eustis. Present on the train were H. C. Bush, traffic manager of the Colorado Mid land: Mr. Lindsay, of Pittsburg, man ager for Andrew Carnegie, with a party of 17, and Arthur Johnson, of Denver. FRACTURED THE SKILL. Indiana Professor Victim of a Ham mer Thrower. Terre Haute, Ind., April 17. Prof. J. P. Kimmel, physical instructor at the Indiana State Normal school, has been fatallv injured by being struck on the head with the 16-pound hammer with which Captain Beeoher of the track team was practicing.

USE SMOKE CONSUMERS. Lake Shore Road Engines "Will Have New Device. Chicago, April 17. Officials of the Lake Shore have determined to do away with the smoke nuisance on the entire road by the use of a new smoke con suming device. Tests have recently been made by the management of the New Tork Cen tral which have been highly satisfactory and it is said that with careful firing there is no escape of smoke from the engines. Regarding the matter an official of file road says: "By the use of the consumers the com fort of the traveling public will be greatly increased as it will be possi ble for passengers to open car windows without being deluged with cinders and smoke. We have found that soft coal can be used, as the attachment not only consumes the smoke, but shows a saving of at least one ton of coal on an ordinary run." PURSE FOR DUiONT.

HE FOUGHT ON BOER SIDE. Col. Arthur Lynch "Who Has Been Elected to Parliament. London, April 17. Although there is no indication that Col. Arthur Lynch, who fought on the Boer side in the South African war and who was elected to represent Galway City in parliament, in November last, has any intention of placing himself within reach of the British courts, the government is bring ing witnesses from South Africa to tes tify in support of the charges of high treason brought against him.

Seat Contests Prevent Miners' Meet ing Prom Doing Business. Wheeling, W. Va., April 17. A report from the Amalgamated Association's contested seats committee is expected this afternoon, and meantime the con vention is idle. It is learned on good authority that the committee will rec ommend a compromise course in regard to the lodges which have failed to pay assessments. It will recommend a pro cedure in regard to the offending lodges that will not be regarded as a vindication of the officers nor as a slap at the delinquents. The fact is that the number of delinquents is so large that it would not be wise for the convention to ruthlessly turn them down, and at the same time it is recognized the power of the executive board must be upheld. It is a delicate question to handle and the committee is now looking for a way to harmonize all opposing interests and to settle the question in a way that will be conducive of good feeling on all sides. It is understood that both fac tions have agreed in view of the propos ed compromise, that they will not con sider the result a victory one way or another and that after the question is disposed of it will not be brought up in subsequent proceedings. It is stated that one reason for the compromise is that the delinquent lodges threaten, if turned down altogether, to affiliate with Chicago lodges which have been expell ed and organize a rival organization. 20T0KIEsirTGH.
