Settles Controversy Over Raised Promissory Note. HO Oil E CROWD LOSES. Dissenters in Knights and Ladies of Security Defeated. IVm. "V. Pipes Must Serve i'en itentiary Sentence. The supreme court today handed down a bunch of decisions, the first since last July. Probably the most important Reneral decision among them is one holding that when a promissory note has been altered and then sold to an in nocent Darty. the purchaser cannot re cover in excess of the amount for which H was originally given. This is contrary to what some other courts have held. Carl Wangerin gave a note for ?60 to a man by the name of McNasy. It Was on a printed blank and there was room fox McNaspy to raise it to $160 by inserting a figure "1" before the "6 on the scroll and writing in "100 and" before the "CO." HcXaFpy did so and then sold the note to the Bank of Her lr.gton for the full amount of its ap parent face. Wangerin refused to pay it when he learned what had been done and thfl bank sued for the full amount. A lum ber of courts have held that an inno cent holder can recover in a case of that kind, because the person giving the note should be careful to guard against the possibility of a forgery of that nature. The lower court held for Wangerin, however, and now the su preme court aflirms that decision. It turns out that the bank cannot even collect the $0 for which the note was originally given, because it waited until the statute of limitations had run before beginning an action for its recovery. The litigation between Ed O. Moore and the knights and Ladles of Security was brought to an end by the suoreme court today handing down a decision against Moore. Moore and several oth ers about three years ago started en insurrection in the order and issued a circular charging the officers with gross mismanagement. This was in vi olation of the bylaws and Moore after due proceedings, was suspended by the executive committee. He brought suit In the Shawnee county district court to compel his reinstatement, alleging that the executive committee had no juris diction over his case, a4 it would be sit ting in a matter in which the memhers of the committee were personally inter ested. The district court found against Moore and now the supreme court up-, holds that derision. In the oninlon the; court says: "The bylaws provide abund-" ant means by which he might have pre sented and had unvestigated the charges which he made, by other means than those he user1. Instead of pursu ing these he chose to pursue others which were obnoxious to the bylaws of the order. We think the executive com mittee had a clear right to inquire into thpse unauthorized proceedings. It was not investigating the truth or falsity of the chnrgi's made by the plaintiff in er ror. Their truth was not a justification for him. If he desired an investigation be must follow the law. not nullify it." A case of importance just now during the season for printing the official bal lots is that in which H. K. Honey, editor if th- Mankato Advocat". is sued by the county commisioners for the return of an overpayment for printing the offi cial ballots in that county in 1S9S. There were six columns on the ballot, and un der the law Mr. Honey was entitled to J13 for each thousand ballots and each fractipn thereof. The ballots have to be printed by townships, and Honey charged in the same way. Pome of the townships used only 530 ballots, but he charged ?13 for each township using less than a thousand ballots, and for three townships which used l.ir.o ballots each he charged $26 each, making a total of ?"64 for the whole county, which he col lected. Then the county commissioners afterwards figured that he ought to have taken the total of all ballots printed. 17.- 200, and charged for the whole lump. If he had done this his bill would have amounted to $201. and the commissioners brought suit for the return of the ex cess payment. The district court gave judgment against Honey, and he ap pealed to the supreme court, hut the su preme court today decided against him. This means that printers must take the total amount of ballots printed in a county and make out their bills on that basis, and not on the township basis. William Warden Pipes, who was sen tenced to the penitentiary from Ellis county for l.:-e murder of David Leahy about two years ago, will not get a new trial, according to a decision of the su premo court. Pipes was a young man who lived in Graham county. He went over to Hays City to a celebration, but as it was too quiet there he and some companions went to Kills and got drunk. David Leahy was a joint keeper. They went to Leahy's joint, got into a row. and when it was over Leahy had been killed. TMpes was arrested and convicted of murder in the second de-Tree, although he set up the plea of self-defense and Introduced testimony to show that he had a good reputation in Graham coun ty where he lived. He was first arrest ed and had his preliminary examination under ti-.e name "Ward Tipes," and his attorneys ar-rued that it was therefore faulty, as this was not the name under whfrti he was afterwards tried. But the supreme court holds differently, and also holds that the instructions of the trial court wit!; reference to self-defense were proper. The supreme court says: The name W ard Pipes, by which he was designated in the preliminary pro ceedings, oner.rs to have hen the one used by his own wltnesos when speak ing of him, and by his counsel when re ferring to -im during the trial. If the r.ame used in the proceedings is the one by which he is generally known it is or dinarily sufficient, and certainlv no prejudice was suffered by h'm because cf the use of the abbreviate! name by which he was generally known, in the preliminary proceedings, instead of his full name under w-ich the later pro ceedings were instituted." Edward B. Justus, an Oklahoma con vict in the Kansas penitentiary, will not be released on a writ cf habeas corpus by the supreme court. Justus was sent to the penitentiary from Kay county, Okla. He claims that under the Oklahoma law a court Is compelled to grant a change of venue on tha film- of affidavits by two disinterested persons statin? that the accuser cannot secure an impartial trial in that court. He had the affidavits filed but still the court refused him a change of venue but went ahead and tried him and sent him to the Kansas penitentiary. He claims that the court had no jurisdic tion over him and that the warden of the Kansas penitentiary is therefore il legally holding him. The supreme court says that the action of the Kay county court in refusing a change of venue was an error and a new trial would have been granted if properly asked for, but that the grounds of compalint are not sufficient to release Justus on a writ of habeas corpus. The famous Judah case from Atchi son county was today reversed by the supreme court. In January 189S, the husband and two daughters of Mrs. Nancy J. Judah were killed by a Santa Fe train near Atchison, while trying to cross the railroad track in a wagon. It was shown that the engineer had whistled for the crossing when the wag on was over sixty feet from the crossing and a flagman had also warned Mr. Judah. Mrs. Judah brought suit against, the railroad company and recovered several thousand dollars in damages. The railroad company appealed and to day the supreme court reversed the case, holding that the railroad's em ployes had done all that they could to avert the accident and had given proper warning. It was ordered that judgment should be entered for the defendant. The Missouri Pacific did not fare so well in a case wherein S. H. McCulloch, a prominent farmer of Dickinson coun ty, secured judgment against the rail road company for killing some cattle. He was driving a herd of cattle across the Missouri Pacific track where it ran through a cut, when a stock train ran into the herd and killed a number. He brought suit against the company and secured judgment on the ground that the railroad's en oyes did not keep a sharp lookout nor try to stop the train when they saw the cattle. The com pany appealed, but the supreme court afnrmed the judgment of the Dickinson county court. The full list of decisions handed down by the supreme court today was as fol lows: DOS5TRR. C. J. O.

Grand Secretary Fixes Things. Turns Farm Over to Lodge for Settlement. HE WILL GO FREE. Has a Promise He Wont Be Prosecuted. Was In Costa Rica Iteyond Reach of Extradition. A settlement has been made between D. W. Kent, the absconding grand sec retary of the Kansas I. O. O. IT. and the grand lodge of the order and he is ex pected to return to Kansas. D. W. KENT. Kent absconded a year ago and he was found to be about 18 600 short in his accounts. No criminal proceedings were commenced against aim for the reason that he could not be found. The grand lodge, however, brought an ac tion against the surety company which went on his bond. This case will be dismissed and Kent wii! be allowed to return to the state with the under standing that he will not be prosecuted. Kent is in Costa Rica, where there is no extradition treaty. His wife ar rived in Topeka Friday nd arranged the settlement with the grand lodge and the surety company. The grand lodge will receive the 80-aere farm in lUno county which has on it an orchard of 65 acres. The property is estimated to be worth between $6,000 and $7,000. After Kent was found to be an embezzler sev eral horses he owned were sold and th& lodge tealized about $1,000 from the sale. The horses were in Illinois following the ace meets. Soon after Kent disappeared Mrs. Kent wrs taken seriously 111 and v.v.s in a perep.rious condition for some time. After she recovered she went io Hutch inson to- live and has made her hom& there since. It is understood that Kent will return to Hutchinson now that he is not in danger of prosecution. It was September 24, 1901, that Kent was reported gone. Then it was found that the deficit he left covered a period of two years. It was found that at the end of the fiscal year of 1900 that $4,579.31 was kept on hand while it was usual for the secretary to turn over all money. Kent was first elected secretary in 1S96 and when he absconded he was en tering upon his sixth term of office. He got into the horse racing business and for a time kept a stable of hroses at the fair grounds. The stable caught tire one night and was destroyed and Kent collected over $3,oOC insurance on it. He kept as many as sixteen horses which were of the kind that lose money for their owners instead of making it. Kent disappeared from Topeka, two weeks before the shortage was found, and went to Chicago. Kent's bond given through the New York Surety com pany amounted to $3,000. The Surety company put secret service agents on his track but it seems Kent was not found. Grand Treasurer L. G. Beal dis covered the defalcation. HOTEL WALL FALLS. Five Teople Buried Ruins. iu the Jackson, Mich., Oct. 11. One wall of the Otsego hotel, in process of construc tion, collapsed this morning while thir teen men were at work on the roof. Eight of them escaped by jumping to another part of the structure. The other five went down. One, Henry Giitner, is still buried In the ruins while others have been taken out seriously but it is thought not fatally I injured. Their names are: W. Thomas, George L. Van Allen, William Mc-Key, and Pat O'Connor. The building was inspected and pronounced satisfactory by the architect last night. PRINCE OF SI AM HERE.

At that point he is turned over to another line, continuing his journey to the Pa cific coast. The train will consist of the finest equipment that the railroad com panies can furnish. Named for Dead Soldiers. Washington, Oct. 11. Secretary Root has conferred the names of a number of soldiers who have distinguished them selves on the seacoast batteries. At the Presidio he has named batteries in honor of Second Lieut. Henry M. Boutellet Second Lieut. Blaney and Second Lieut. Henry M. Baldwin, all killed in action. Wis JmylSx Mi BALKED BY COLONEL.

Emerson, candidate for governor on the Prohibition ticket, re turned to Topeka today after a cam paign over the state, nd said in conver sation with a reporter for the State Journal: 4, "I believe that Prohibition vote for the candidate o,li;e state ticket will amount to twice viha it was In the last campaign, or about li.-OOO, I find much encouragement at fbfcny places in, the state. I believe thajf the heaviest vote for the Prohibition ticVet will come from the southern counties, of the state, ex cepting the tier next to Missouri. We will also get a good "vote along the northern boundry counties. "There are 100 towns in Kansas where open saloons are running. I believe that the state administration can suppress the joints and saloons. Governor Stan ley has not even gwen prohibition his moral support. Attorney General God ard has written a few weak letters tell ing what he would do. but he has done as little as possible. The state officials have the authority to regulate violations of '.aw in all parts of the state. It is bringing up a similar question to the old state sovereignty theory to say that each county is a law unto itself so far as the enforcement of law is concerned. We settled the state sovereignty theory by the civil war. We have nothing to hope for from the old parties; of this I am firmly convinced." Mr. Emerson was asked what he had to say concerning the course of F. M. Steves, editor of the Fulcrum, who is running a prohibition raper and fighting Mr. Emerson. Mr. Emerson said- "Mr. Steves thought that he was the ??ss. ;f ,thp Prohibition party in Kansas. He tried to read out all the members of the party who would not take his paper we have tried to be as easy on him as we could for the sake of his familv, but It finally caroe to the pass where we siroplv had to throw him overboard. I understand he intimates that ome of tbe managers of the Prohibition party's cnmpa'gn tried to break into his office to see what was i being printed in hit. paper. I'm sure I j don't know whs.t we .should want in his I office. There's -a'hing there that would be of any use to '!Y Steves is iealous be I cause he finds thiVthe campaign of the I Prohibition party is being conducted more effeetivelv than it has ever been con- uucieo netore.

Chicago Box Factory Workers Again Struggle With Police. Chicago, Oct. 11. Two labor riots oc curred here and several persons were injured. In one quarter 500 girls and men blockaded the streets around the Ritchie box factory, West Van Buren and Green streets, and struggled with a guard of blue coats in an effort to reach the girls who had taken the places of their striking sisters in the plant. In the Ghetto more than a score of striking bakers, assisted by several hun dred of their friends, precipitated a riot and after the police of the Maxwell street station had dispersed the com batants, four persons were taken to the county hospital. Three of those injured were non-union men and aside from the fact that they had taken the places of the strikers their Jewish co-religionists were enraged because they consented to work on the feast-Of Yom Kippur. HELD UP TEACHERS. Members of Omaha School Board Arrested for Bribery. Omaha. Neb.. Oct. 11. Three members of the board of education of South Omaha. A. V. -Miller, president, ana Memoers j. L. Kubat and Thedore Schroeder, were arrested early today, charged with receiv ing bribes. The spccilic charges are those of receiving money from school teachers in consideration of the latter securing in creases in salaries and aipo a bribery in connection with the furnishing of type writers for the boa;d. The charges are supported by twelve affidavits placed in the hands of the coun tv attorney, and on which the warrants were issued. The investigation on which the complaints were issued, has been in progress for some time and it is said other arrest3 will follow. GET MORE DISPATCHERS. Sock Island Extends Jurisdiction of Horton Division. Forty-one miles of Rock Island road, covering the line from Horton to St. Joseph. Mo., now under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska division, and controlled by the superintendent at Fairbury, Neb., after October -0 will be added to the Kansas division. C. W. Jones, divi sion superintendent at Topeka, being given control of it, and three train dis patchers beinc added to the force of Rock Island employes in this city. T-e transfer is made in the interests cf smoother operation, it being easier to handle the affairs of that line from here than from Fairbury. For that rea son it is perfectly lorrical and is desir able to this city, as it adds that many men to the working population of To peka. This corps of dispatchers will not be moved here from any other point but will be entirely new in the service of the company. OLITIGAL GOSSIP Populists Will Haye No Test of Their Case. Secretary of State Clark Places Ticket Under Democratic." DODGES THE SERVICE. The Papers From Judge Dale's Court Not Served. Items of Interest About Kansas Politicians. The regular Populist ticket will not appear on the official ballot under the head "'People's Party." Nor will any of the fusion candidates appear under that head. Secretary of State Clark has elected to place all the fusion candidates under the Democratic heading, and the office force in his office is already at work certifying the nominations down to the county clerks. The work was begun yesterday. It is quite a job and will continue tor several days, but must be completed by next Wednesday. The law provides that the nominations filed with tne secretary of state must be certified to the county clerks at least twenty days before elec tion, and the twenty day limit expires Wednesday. The tickets are certified by congres sional districts and was begun with the Fifth district. The official tickets for the counties in that district were sent out yesterday. Secretary Clark himself "disappeared" yesterday in order to keep from having personal service on him secured in the anti-fusion test case filed by Judge Allen in Wichita Thurs day evening. It is stated that persona! service is neccessary in this sort of a case in order to make the mandate ef fective. Deputy Sheriff Simmons same up from Wichita to serve the summons in the case on Mr. Clark, but after waiting for him for some time in his office concluded that it was no use and left the summons there. It is given out that Mr. Clark has gone to Missouri "on business" and will be gone for sev eral days. In his absence Hill P. Wil son, assistant secretary of state, is cer tifying the official nominations to the county clerks. State Printer W. T. Morgan, who is Congressman Long's right-hand man in the senatorial fight, does not think that the local contests over members of t-e legislature in some counties where there are differences among the Republicans ought to be charged up to the senatorial fight. He says thst so far as Mr. Long is concerned, he is urging his friends to support all Republican legislative nominees regardless of their position with reference to senator. Mr. Morgan said today: "It is not fair to charge up the fac tional fights kept up in some counties to the -senatorial contest. As a rule the fight was in tha blood of the local statesmen and they only needed the drop of the hat to start a scran. In the first district, the factional disturb ances are all on the old line between Bailey and Curtis, which have existed ever since Mr. Curtis broke the Horton agreement. Nearly all of the factional feeling is confined to the First congres sional district and it has not been fomented by either Mr. Long or Mr. Stanley or Mr. Calderhead or Mr. Bow ersock, for it was there before the sen atorial question became an issue. "Then take for example Lyon countv where there was a bitter fight between the men who were supposed to be for Stanley and the men who were suppos ed to be for Curtis. The actual dividing line was not the senatorial question but a local fight. Neither Mr. Stanley nor Mr. Curtis can fairly be charged with the troubles in Lyon countv any more than Mr. Stanley and Mr. Long can be charged with the fight against Curtis in Leavenworth, where again the contest was one of local origin. "In spite of the friction in a few coun ties, and there are only a few I think the numerous candidates on the Repub lican side for United States senator by giving their time and work to the elec tion of the Republican legislative tic ket will make the next house more largely Republican than it has been for years. It is barely possible that two or three districts may be lost on account of fac tional fights, but there will be three gained by hard work on account, of friends of the senatorial candidates to one that is lost because of friction." The Republican national congressional committee is helping out Congressman Reeder up in the Sixth district. It re alizes that he has a hard fight on hand, and for that reason it sent A. C. Rankin from Chicago to help him. Rankin has toured Kansas before and understands the situation here. He was once a lec turer for the State Temperance union, and he is a good speaker. The national committee will also send other sneak ers to the aid of Reeder before election. As a rule outsiders do little good. "We are glad to see outside speakers come into the state to help the Republicans," said J. M. Senter, manager of the fusion sreakers' bureau. As a rule they will make more votes for us than for the Republicans. 'Cyclone' Davis is the only outsider we could get that wa thought would do us very much cood. and he has been making some good speeches for us." Miami County Republican: The Grant County Republican, in defense of Tom Kelly, says tne nnaing against Kelly is made by men who are either thieves or do not-know anything." This is th line on which Kelly is building up his defense where he is not known. The men who made the finding that Kelly is a thief are the county commissioners of Miami county Richard Hampson, Thomas Crawford and Cant. Reuben Smith. Kelly and his supporters say that Hampson is a thief or an ignor amus; they say Crawford is a thief or an ignoramus; they say Cant. Smith is a thief or an ignoramus. The only de fense Kelly can offer is to blacken the characters of honest men. There is no depth of infamy that he will not ex plore to save himself. Holton Recorder: A good many Dem ocratic papers are denouncing the Re publicans for running a man for state treasurer who the records of Miami county show was guilty, when county clerk, of raising county warrants and putting the surplus down in his pocket, but as yet have net whispered a word in denunciation of the Democratic can didate for governor whom the court records of Jackson county, Missouri, prove cheated a poor widow out cf $5r0 by downright lying and deception, and was made to cough up this amount and pay it back to her as well as the costs of the suit.

The Southern Pacific is to have a big freight terminal at Point Richmond, adjacent to the end of the Santa Fe railroad and to the extensive plant which the Standard Oil people are rapidly completing. word has been received. from New York, says the Examiner, that after conferring with General Manager Kruttschnitt on the project. President Harriman has given it his approval. The terminal will be connected with the Southern Pacific main line by the construction of a branch line from San Pablo. The new terminal is ten miles by rail from the company's West Oak land freight yards which have become too small for the traffic. A branch sys tem of shops will be erected at the new terminal. As near as can be ascertained ships to and from the Orient will load and unload eastern freight at the terminal and all through freight from the east, the northern states and the Sacramento valley will be handled here. BIG GROCERY TRUST. One to Include All Wholesalers Is Being Formed. St. Louis. Oct. 11. The Interstate Grocer says today that a combine to include every wholesaler of groceries in the United States is in the course of formation. That paper says: The details of the great plan are not yet public property. They will not be until after November 5 next, when the initial steps toward forming the combi nation will be taken in Detroit. George D. Hanford, of New York city, is engi neering the deal. In a few days the entire wholesale grocery trade of the United States will receive invitations to this meeting. Already a large number of the leading wholesale groceries in the east have been personally seen by Mr. Hanford or his renresentatives and nearly all of them have expressed a willingness to be nresent. An outline of the plan follows: It is proposed to take over the busi ness of the entire line of wholesale gro cers in the United States. One great corporation will be formed which will buy outright the business and good will of all the firms. A central office for the accommodation of the officers of the company will be determined, probably in New York. This central office will, on all of the leading grocery products, do the buying for all the houses in the cor poration. It is not tiroDosed that the company will go into the manufactur ing of grocery products but rather that the business between the large manu facturers and the company will be through one general office. It is expect ed that this wiil enable the company to buy in such large quantities as to great ly reduce the Srst cost of the goods. A BIG COAL FIRE. Spontaneous Combustion Starts 25,000 Tons Burning. Chicago, (5et. 11. Twenty-five thou sand tons of bituminous coal are burn ing at the Western Coal comnanv's dock m Waukegan and the fire is re ported beyond control. The company is loading cars and rushing the coal away as rapidly as men can shovel it. Water is not used, as its action on the hot coal would make the ciamage greater through the formation of gascp. The coal docks are situated in the El gin, Joliet and Eastern slip at the har bor, and are among the largest on Lake Michigan.

Meyer, a membrr of the board of directors of the American Smelting Refining- company, is quoted as saying that it is only a ques tion of a few months' time till this Argen tine smelter, which was dismantled a year ago, will be reopened and operated. The plant, he says, is considered by the company, one of its most valuable proper ties, and one which could hardly be aban doned permanently. No more dismantling will be done at the s-nelter, he says. Mr. Meyer has just returned from Loadville, Col., where he. has mining" interests. "The Argentine smelter was clo.sea down." said Mr. Meyer, "because the American Smelting company ha 1 an ex cess of refining capacity. The plant has possibly the best location of any the com pany owns, and will not be abandoned. The busineps of the company is picking up again rapidly and this means that the Argentine smelter will soon be in opera tion again. J feel s-ure that it will be running again within 12 months, or so, with a large force of men at work." MAY GET 15 YEARS. Kan Who Shot Huns for Not Telling Parents Name. New York, Oct. 11. Henry J.

THEY WERE OLD IIAKDS Job Done With Carefnl Atten tion to Details. Train Boarded at Lincoln and Stopped Fire Miles Oat. PASSENGERS LET ALONE Bandits Fired Shots to Keep Them Frightened. Railroad Officials Say Men Got 50,000. Bloodhounds on Trail of the Dynamiters. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 11. Three masked men held up Burlington train No. 41, the Pacitic coast express, four miles out of Lincoln, shortly before 2 o'clock this morning. They used explosives on the express car, shattering it badly and af ter wrecking the safe, rifled it of its contents, securing an amount thought to be but 11,500. Train 41 reaches Lincoln at 12:55 a. m., and leaves for the Northwest 10 minutes later. It was a few minutes late this morning and was in charge of Conductor Lyman and Engineer Clay burg. On the crest of a hill, midway between the city and the town of Wood lawn, the engineer saw a red light wav 3d across the track and brought the train to a standstill. Two men sprang quick ly into the cab, covering Clayburg and his fireman with revolvers. They lost no time in giving their orders and were promptly obeyed. The express car was cut from the balance of the train and run ahead a short distance. They found the door locked and after commanding Messenger -William LuDton to open it, and getting no response, fired two or three shots into the car. The door was then opened. A heavy charge of dyna mite on the safe literally tore it x pieces. Fourteen packages, said to con tain a hundred dollars each, were taken together with other valuables. The two men who were in the car politely bade the trainmen good morning, jumped from the car and disaDpeared in the darkness. The passengers were not molested nor were the trainmen asked for their belongings. While the robbery in the express car was going on, a third robber walked alongside the track by the passenger coaches, firing his revolver occasionally to keep inquisitive passengers quiet.. Brakeman Moore, who alighted from the rear coach to go ahead, found a revol ver pushed into his face, with a warning to go back where he belonged. He ran the four miles to the Lincoln yards and was the first to give the alarm. The robbers were cool, talkative and apparently experts. The whoie job occu pied scarcely an hour. The train was run back to Lincoln, the wrecked ex press car taken out, and at 4- o'clock the train resumed its journey, the orig inal crew going out with it. Following it was an engine carrying Chief of Po lice Hoagland, Detective Malone and two bloodhounds and three police offi cers. At the scene of the holdup the hounds took the scent and the nursuit of the robbers was actively begun. Every town and village marshal and every county sheriff in southeastern Nebraska has been notified of the rob bery and told to be on the watci). The Adams Express company says its loss Ss not large. Loss in train robbery is given out by officials of the Burlington at $50,000. They have offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the gang. The booty of the robbers consisted prin cipally of gold coin. This made the burden of the robbers exceedingly heavy and accounts for the broad trail discov ered by Chief Hoagland. The robbery was originally planned to take place at St. Joseph and tlie railroad men were on the lookout. One of the criminals "tinped" the deal off to the company. and this probably accounts for the shift ing of the crime to Lincoln. MILLS' STORE NEWS! rr-; r 1 r v.

Tell me the book to send. Then I will do, this I will send the sick one an order good at any drug store for six bot tles Dr. Shoop's Restorative. He may take it a month at mv risk. If it succeeds, the cost is $5.50. If it fails, I will pay the druggist myself. And the sick one's mere word shall decide it. That month's test will show you what the remedy can da It Is the easiest way to convince you. It is the only way to in duce all who need help to accept it. I make the offer to multiply my cures, and 1 am willing to trust the cured ones to be fair with me. Ia the past 12 years I have furnished my Restorative to hun dreds of thousands of sick ones on Just those terms, and 39 out of 40 have paid gladly, because they got well. I pay just as will ingly when one says I have failed. The remedy is my discovery, the result of a lifetime's work. I have perfected it by watching results in thousands of the most difficult cases that physicians ever meet. I know what it will do. My success comes from strengthening weak inside nerves, and my Restorative is the only remedy that does that. When an organ is weak I bring back the nerve power which alone opera tea every vital organ. It is like-giving an engine more steam. I give, the weak organ power to do its duty, and there is no other way to make weak organs well. Can you conceive of a sick one who will neglect such a treat ment, when I take the entire risk?

Jack Chesbro Notified That He Can Be Excused. SOT IN BENEFIT GAMES. Is Accused of Having Thrown Down the Pittsburg's. Great Twiiier Says Good Bye and Leaves National. Signs With American League to Play in Gotham. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 11. The greatest local sensation sprung in baseball since Jimmy Williams jumped to the Ameri can league was sprung last night, when Jack Chesbro, acknowledged to be the best pitcher in the National league, left Pittsburg practically at the request of fellow players on the Pittsburg team. The other players, who are struggling for supremacy over the All-Star Amer ican combination, held a meeting and decided to shut Chesbro out of any part of the money to be gleaned from the post-season series now on. They claimed Chesbro was a ouitter, and they served notice on him that he was no longer a member of the champion band, so far as the post-season benefits were concerned. Chesbro late last eveninz notified the Pittsburg club that he had quit them and left for Chicago, where he will join the All-Nationals bound for the coast. The reason for this sensational move Is that Chesbro is accused of having thrown down the Pittsburgs in the game gainst the All-Americans. It is claimed that he refused to pitch in Pittsburg under American league rules, but later told the boys in charge that he would pitch in Cleveland under the National rules. He was told that he would be tried out in Pittsburg under the Amer ican rules or that he would be cut out. Chesbro laughed and later sent word to the oark that he was sick. After the game a meeting was held and Chesbro was declared a deserter and not entitled to any part of the money. The king of pitchers appealed to the Pittsburg club officials, and was told that they had nothing to do with the affair, but they certainly did support the stand taken by the players. Chesbro then served no tice and left Pittsburg and the National lea sue. President Dreyfuss said: "Chesbro is gone, and I am glad of it. He showed himself a quitter when he had a chance to help the boys out. He refused to go in under American league rules. I wisn the American ail kinds of luck with him, but no more of him in Pittsburg." New York, Oct. 11. The belief that the American league will place a team in New York, despite stories to the con trary, is strengthened by the signing of Jack Chesbro, the champion pitcher of the National league this year, by an American league agent. Chesbro has. it is said, signed w-ith the National's rival, with the understanding that he is to pitch for. the team that will bid for local patronage in opposition to the Giants. LODGEJJEWS.

Wednesday morning will see the open ing of the Rebekah assembly, which will last also until Thursday night. The general reception to the visitors will be held Tuesday evening in the Pittsburg auditorium. Wednesday night the past presiding officers' banauet will be held, and the preparations which re being made for it are most elaborate. The parade w ill take place Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There will be no competitive drill in military tactics this season. For this event the three-links people of Topeka have great expectations and a large number cf them already have expressed their intention of attending. So far as is now known the following from this city will go to Pittsburg: V. H. Kemper and Mrs. Kemper, John A. Bright and Mrs. Bright, H. C. Ste vens, S. F. Stevens, Miss Emma Stev ens, J. J. Wehe and Mrs. Wehe, Mrs. H. M. Steele, T. H. Bain, A. C. Soule, J. S. Everett, G. H. Matthews. A. K. Jones, D. W. Fraser. Mrs. L. K. Akin, Mrs. Robert Cofran. Mrs. E. E. Fisher. Mrs. George Elliott, Judge George Huron, J. J. Schenck and L. G. Beal. Most of the party will leave over the Rock Island Monday morning, going to Kansas City. From there along with other delegations from this section of the state and from Kansas City they will occupy a special car over the Kansas City Southern railroad from Kansas City to Pitts burg. Sunday afternoon a party of the fol lowing five people will come down from Korton and will accompany the Topeka crowd the next morning: W. beara, W. G. Kellv. James Braley, Miss Ida Barrett, and Miss Bertha Kelly. One of the most important matters to come before the grand encampment this vear will be the Question or cnang- ing the time of meeting from octooer to the holiday season between Christ mas and New Year, and what is of es pecial importance to Topeka, is that the matter of making the state capital the permanent meeting place is a pnrt of this nroDOSition. This is favered tie cause that is an acceptable time ior people to leave their homes and at the same season the cheap rates for the State Teachers' association are on, and it would be possible to take advantage of these and apply them to the Odd Fel lows' gathering,; Tne Odd Fellows lodge is one whose favors should be cul tivated, in a matter of this sort, forth reason that it brings more money into the town where the meeting is held than most of such orders. The representa tives from each local lodge receive a per diem, and besides this they are a well-to-do class of men and women who have money aside from that which the brotherhood furnishes them. Naturally they combine business of a personal na ture with their. lodge duties while at tending the meeting and make such purchases as they need that cannot be secured in the smaller towns and the villages near where they have tneir homos. One of the important meetings of lodges which are to be held in Topeka this autumn will be that of the Knights of Columbus, an order young in age but already strong, and still growing. Its membership is limited to the Catholic church and the necessary qualifications are extremely rigid.

National Grand Knight O'Hearn of New Haven. Conn., is ex pected. The order is' exceptionally strongly organized in the eastern states, and has a total membership of some thing near 80,000. In its ranks are the wealthiest and staunchest class of Catholic churchmen. When new councils are instituted or the degree teams of one order or section visits another it is always the signal for a grand banquet, an outpouring of good fellowship, asd everything is car ried along In a way that ia character istic of the strength of the order. Re cently a delegation made a swing around the councils of the Pacific coast, being composed largely of knights from the middle states and the territory east of the Eockies. There was a little Incident happened which showed the excellent spirit of the order and which did more to give it prestige than anything else could have done. While the team was jour neying across the country from Spo kane, Wash., to Butte, Mont., a washout occurred on the Northern Pacific which was carrying them and they were obliged to stop at the small town of Hope, Idaho, for two or three days. Colonel Frank Towers of Denver, Colo., who seemed to be the leader of the knights was not long in taking a survey over the situation. Seeing that they were hopelessly delayed and would not be able to reach Butte in time to carry out the programme as arranged, he made inquiry in to the situation before him. He learned that the village of Hope had but one church of the Congrega tional denomination, and that in deep debt. It occurred to him that some thing might be done to alleviate its financial stress. The place had a lively crowd of young people, and he proposed to them, without their knowledge as to the body with which they were nego tiating that "Towers' All Specialty com pany of Chicago" put on an entertain ment, the proceeds of which would be gladly turned over to the ladies of the church. It was agreed to and the next evening Towers went through the train ringing a cow-bell and summoning all the pasengers to attend the specialty performance and then leading the pro cession with his company from the train to the village hall. It was thronged with the best people the place could turn out for such an exceptional event. A mixed programme was rendered in fine shape, a great many musical and literary numbers and the "All Stars" forged at once into fame. The proceeds were large sufficient to pay off the church indebtedness and everybody was satisfied, the Hope citizens all the time being under the illusion that it was really a specialty company to whom they had listened. At the time of the washout which was laying the train out a terrific storm had devastated that section of country, leav ing homeless many people. With the first entertainment such a success in every way, it occurred that the perform ance might be repeated and the money derived this time distributed among those who had been rendered needy by the havoc of the storm. Again it was advertised and again the people re sponded liberally. The numbers on the prcgvtmme were given with even more dash than before, and. if possible the audience was more pleased than the first night. The whole was carried through without the.,. Hope denizens knowing differently until at the close the discovery was made that it was Knights of Columbus degree team which was putting on the specialties. The apt application of what talent was at hand to a noble purpose not only strengthened the lodge in the estimation of outsiders, when 'the facts became known, but it made" bearable the other wise dragging hours wile the tram was delayed, and did two fcreat charitable turns to the people ofthat little town which will occupy a separate page In the annals of Hope history.

Two suits were filed against the Rock Island rail way company, the plaintiff in each case being T. E. Morris. The total amount involved in the sutts is $1,598, and is claimed as damage to cattle shipped over the Rock Island from Okecne, O. T., to Kansas City, Kas., and Kansa3 City, Mo. The petition sets forth that tbe plain tiff paid the defendant a certain val uable consideration on August 20, 1902, for which the company contracted to deliver at the stock yards at Kansas City, Kas., three car loads of cattle valued at $3,960, the property of the plaintiff. It is alleged that the con tract is in writing, but that it is either lost or in the possession of the defend ant, but the plaintiff claims to have a copy of it. The stock in the three car loads con sisted of 88 head of cattle which were loaded at Okeene at 7:15 on the morn ing of August 20. It is claimed that on account of the gross negligence and carelessness of the servants and em ployes of the company, the train was stopped, Jerked and moved so suddenly that a number of the cattle were knocked down in such a way that tiiey could not get up, and while in that position they were trampled upon by the other cattle in the cars, so that they were injured and made lame, dam age resulting to the extent of $750. It is also alleged that the cattle should have arrived at the stock yards at Kansas City and have been sold August 21, but that the road was so operated that they were unloaded at Enid. O. T.. and left in the stock yards there from 8 o'clock a. m. until 10 p. m. without feed or water. The other suit is for damages to two car loads of cattle "which were loaded at the same time and place and which are estimated to have been worth $1, 140. The contract is the same as in the other case, and it is claimed that some of them were knocked down by the jerking or tne train and permanent ly Injured. The plaintiff claims that by reason of the above facts, the cattle were injured, became sick, and were unfit for market, so that he suffered damages to the ex tent of $98. for which amount the action is brought against the railroad com pany.

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAI SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER ll. 1902. 3 RAILROADNEWS. Scarcity of Labor Causes Des peration Among Koads. Boilermakers Cannot Be Hired at Any Price. DEARTH IS GENERAL. Machinists, Ulacksmiths and Track Laborers Needed. Bock Island Wants Men to Help Lay New Steel. Labor is a commodity as scarce anil certainly much more sought after right now in this western country than is anthracite coal. Particularly id this true In the case of the railroads. A Toiieka railroad man talking the Other day intimated that scarcely at any time since the great transportation ystsms had built their lines into this section had there been such a dearth of men who could be Fccure.l to do the work. It is understood that on the Rock Island alone, including the Kan sas, Nebraska and Colorado divisions, at least three hundred laboring men could be given instant employment in Various capacities. In the first place, it is thoroughly known that the scarcity of skilled craftsmen has existed for a number of months. Boilermakers are a class that can hardly be employed in Sufficient numbers to keep tip at some points the running repairs of the loco motives. This situation is much more Serious in the west than east of the Mississippi. A Santa Fe man recently told a re norfer, and it is no news to railroad men generally, that in the east there was rarely ever any difficulty from alkali and similar constituents of the water which was put into tile engine boilers. Quite different is that from the liquid from which the Fleam on the western lines is derived. Here and far ther west where it is all the more strongly impregnated with these de structive element, there is continually trouble with leaky boilers. All because of the water. Only last week an nouncement was made that the Santa Fe had closed a deal for halt a dozen plants along the system with which the water should be treated so that these Injurious elements might be brought down and removed. So that this is one reason why there is a continual demand for the services of the men who repair fire-boxes, calk Hues and fix up general ly the boiler part of the run-down en gines. Somewhat like reasons apply to the demand for machinists and black smiths. Kither of these workmen can get employment almost anywhere throughtout the west. Times are good and such a large adiiional quantity of motive power is being pressed into ser vice and that which already has been working is taxed to such an extreme, that it requires much labor at division points to keep engines in shape for pulling trains. Many of the young men who are completing an apprenticeship in the railroad shops of the country are taking advantage of the prosperous sea son and the coresponding demand for tradesmen and are going over the coun try from one state to another partially for the experience and sight-seeing pos- nihilities, knowin.-j fully that so long as' they are able to reach a railroad divi sion point they need not go hungry, nor. In case they are "card" men to call upon their brothers for assistance-. Often after they have been employed a short time and have decided to make a move to another railroad town, the fore men have gone to them and begged them to stay in order that the work of the shop might be improved. Another cause contributing to the stress for labor and that of the un skilled kind is the immense amount of water, which has fallen during the last few months. Within the last week peo ple generally have noticed what the effect has been, in the matter of delay ing trains. Not that there were wash outs, because they have hern compara tively few lately. But the tracks have leen so softpned that officials have been obliged to issue slow orders to their en- i

Dear Sirs I have usprl ters and found it a valuable tonic. It stimulates the stomach, in creases the appetite and prevents Belching and Heartburn. DELAY IS DANGEROUS. ginemen and trainmen not to try to make up any time that may have been lost, and in many cases not even to come up to the schedule as laid down in the time card. Especially has this been the case on the earth lines: that is, where there has not been placed a thick bed of ballast. Even in -some places where much crushed Ftone has been tamped and beaten in around the ties the heavy downpours have had tne expect ed effect of making the track rousjh. It will take time and a great deal of work to bring this up to what it should be to accomplish the best results. The usual recompense of trackmen has been with the Rock Island $1.25 a day, but the company has increased the wage to $1.50 and still there is no response. In some cases extra gangs huve been put on to repair places in particular need o it, and to these $1.7" has been given for a day s labor. But yet the company wants more of these, and wants them badly. The good wages which the farmers have paid for help all through the summer has knocked out many o the plans of the railroad men, and now they rind the roadbed in bad order, the fences need fixing, weeds should be cut, and fresh ditches dug for the drainage of the line. From the Central Branch el' the Missouri Pacilic comes the story that the section forces are being de pleted every day on account of the $2 a day and board which the farmers are offering men to husk corn. It is sail that net enough can be retained to keep up the repairs that are almost impera tive between Atchison and Omaha. In a few days the Kock Island plans t commence laying heavy SG-poun-J steel raiir, from Herington west 200 miles, and this would give employment to ever so many laborers if they can be had, but it is difficult to see where they are to be obtained. Most of the laboring men are in good financial circum stances at tho end of the Bummer and will not be compelled to exert them selves until spring. STILWELIj is HOBIZ. Will Keinain in Kansas City for Sev eral Weeks. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 11. A. E. Stil well. president of the Kansas City, Mex ico Orient Railroad company, has re turned from a trip to Old Mexico aftd Port Arthur, Tex. Mr. Stilwell was ac companied by John Perry of England, formerly of Kansas City; Lewis Kendle, W. A. Simpson and P. D. Tuckett of Indon, and J. C. Von Marie of Amster dam. Mr. Stilwell and his party were given banquets at Chihuahua and Port Arthur. Mr. Stilwell will remain in Kansas City several weeks. The Eng lish and Oerman visitors probably will l"ave tomorrow. The party arrived at 6:30 o'clock last night in the private car Bue-ania, attached to the Kansas City Southern passenger train due at 4:58 o'clock. Mr. Stilwell went to his apart ments in the Lorraine flats and his guests went to the Coates hotel. According to the accotint given by Mr. Stilwell's guests, the affairs of the Orient are in a flourishing condition. The party inspected the Orient tiacks south of Harper, Kan., and east and west of Chihuahua and at Port Stilwell. Three ship loads of rails have been un loaded at Port Stilwell, sufficient to construct eighty miles of road, which it is expected wil be completed by April 1. Track is being laid east and west of Chihuahua and in Kansas and Okla homa anel at Port Stilwell. Within ISO miles of half the entire line in Mexico has been graeled. The grading is com pleted in Oklahoma, and is progressing rapidly in Texas and Port Stilwell. Forty miles of track south of Harper and thirty miles east and 12F miles west of Chihuahua is in operation. Fifty cars and two engines have been unloadetl at Port Stilwell, and will be put into immediate use. THE FEMALE SPOTTER. Conductor Who Pocketed a 15 Cent Fare Lost His Job. Some railroaders were congregated on one of the local depot platforms last night, says the El Paso Herald, relating their experiences with spotters, when one of the men said: "I will tell you, boys, a man can never tell when they will pick him up if he is doing any monkey business at all. "Several years ago I was braking on a little local run in east Texas. that served several sawmills. "In the evening as we came back from the miils to the city our caboose would generally be well filled with passengers. Our conductor soon had matters fixed with all the agents along the line so Are symptoms of a weak and disordered stomach, and if you are a sufferer from any of them and want to get well we would urge you to give this wonderful medicine a fair trial.

The conductor wuia then collect full fare from the passengers and pocket what he thought he ought to have and divide the re mainder between the company and us bralzemen. "We were all in clover and thought there was no possibility of the run play ing out until we wanted to give it up. "One day, however, a woman got on the train and from the way she sized things up I became suspicious and told the conductor he had better be careful, as I thought she was a spotter from the way she acted. He said he guessed not. "She was only going a few miles and her fare was 15 cents. Instead of turn ing in the 15 cents, he pocketed it. We thought nothing more of the matter un til about a week later, when the con ductor received a letter from the divi sion superintendent to call at the office. We advised him to resign without an investigation, but he thought be could bluff it through. After cailing on the superintendent ho never ran another train on that line.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. lWThere is a well defined report that the secret com mittee on location and plans-for the new four million dollar passenger station for Kansas City has adopted the report of the Chicago expert. This report, it is said, recommends that the new depot be erected on or near the site of the present union depot. But a serious ob stacle has developed to the successful carrying out of the plan. It is said that all of the railroads, except' the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad, have agreed upon the present site. The op position of the Santa Fe has prevented action upon the report of the commit tee. It was reported some time ago that the Burlington railroad was standing in the way of the construction of the new depot. The Buriington owns land cast of the present depot yards and controls right of way into the union depot from the east. It is stated upon reliable authority that the Burlington has fixed a reasonable price upon its holdings which are necessary to the success of the new depot project. EXTEND CLOTTDCItOFT ROAD. Kock Island to Hun a Branch to a Timber Tract. President Eddy of the Alamogorelo Sacramento Mountain railway (a branch of the E. P.-R. I.X has just let a con tract tt a Denver firm for the building of an extension of five miles of track. The new extension will be almost due east fiom Cox canon and will go to a large timber tract. The work will be heavy mountain work, similar to the old part of the; line. Work is to be begun on this piece of track at once. THE MEXICAN WAY. Government Runs the Railway While the Btten Strike. Laredo, Tex., Oct. 11. Captain Thos. W. Dodd, attorney of the Mexican gov ernment, has taken entire charge of the road from Laredo to Mexico City on ac count of the strike upon the line.

The encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Re public for 1902 came, to a close last evening-. The Union Veterans' Vnion had a de cleledly lively day and the final result was a split in the organization. The first row was over a question of eligi bility to membership, A resolution was adopted that let down the bars too much to suit some of the state delega tions with a large membership in the order. This caused ill feeling. Later the friction in the union developed rapidly, in conseejuence of the adoption by a committee of the order which had been investigating the character and conduct of Commander in Chief Dyren forth, of a report recommending- the suspension of the commander in chief. Commander Dyrenforth was presiding over the convention when the conven tion committee endeavored to report. He refused to recognise it or to sur render his office to the next ranking of ficer of the order. Turbulent scenes fol lowed, until filially a large element of the organization withdrew, those re maining re-electing Dryenforth and the seceders taking steps to form a new union. The weatheV was fine, thus giving the veterans glorious October days through out their encampment. The following additional recommenda tions were adonted before the encamp ment adjourned: "First That the committee on legis lation for veterans in the public service be continued, that a similar committee to this be appointed by the incoming commander in chief with instructions to urge upon the law makers of the nation, at the coming session of congress, the enactment of H.

My faith in Warner's Safe Cure has grown stronger since that time as I know a number of the members of the Bos ton police force who had suffered from kidney, blaeleler trouble and rheumatism have been entirely cured and are well and robust men teielay; in fact every one that I have advised to use Warner's Safe Cure has been greatlv benefited by it."

Operators Say Nothing Will Be Bone Tuesday. Statement of Their Position Given Out. New York, Oct. 11. It was stated to day at the office of E. M. Thomas.chair man of the board of directors of the Krie road, that the reports to the effect that there was likely to be on Tuesday of next week further conference with Senators Quay, Piatt and Penrose, were incorrect. The statement issued by Mr. Th6mas at the conclusion of the con ference on Friday morning, definitely covered the situation. It was explained that in the early con ferences with the civic federation cer tain propositions had been committed by Mr. Thomas. These propositions are un derstood to be the basis of all the ne gotiations on the part of the operators ever since and to which the operators adhere. The propositions were: First The anthracite companies do not undertake in the slightest manner to discriminate against members of the United Mine Workers of America; but they do insist that members of that or ganization shall not discriminate against nor decline to work with nonunion members of such association. Second That there shall be no deteri oration in the quantity or quality of the work and that there shall be no effort to restrict the individual exertions of men who, working by the ton or car, may for reasons satisfactory, to themselves and their employers produce such a quantity of work as they may desire. Third By reason of the different con ditions( Wrying not only with the dis tricts, but with the mines themselves, thus rendering absolutely impossible anything approaching uniform condi tions each mine must arrange, either individually or through its committees with the superintendents or managers any question affecting wages or griev ances. On the other hand. the Associated Press has received the following from an authoritative source on the other side of the dispute: The two days' conference between the presidents of the coal carrying roads and Governor Odell and Senators Piatt, Quay and Penrose, was not the failure that It was reported to be. The opera tors practically agreed to a certain ad vance in wages and to certain proposi tions that would result in the resump tion of coal mining. The authority here mentioned is of the opinion that the conference was not adjourned because an agreement apparently could not be reached, but because the operators were not willing to have it appear that they were yielding under pressure. The con ference, according to the present plan, will be resumed on Tuesday, but a linal agreement may not be reached that day. At this time it looks as though a settle ment will be effecter before the series of meetings Is ended, although some thing may be said or-done while the present efforts are being made that would wipe out trie work already ac complished. When the above was shown, to Mr. Thomas he said: "This statement is unqualifiedly wrong. No conclusions could be reach ed through that channel. The incident may be considered as absolutely closed, the operators positively declining to ac cept the suggestions made. Nothing will be done on Tuesday." The presence here of Secretary Root, who came here last night from Wash ington, gave rise to reports that he would at least confer with the represen tatives of th coal interests on behalf of the president. Mr. Root, however, said he had mere!;-' come to New York to register. But later in the day, when Set r?i:.-iry Rmt failed to appear at any of the places which it is his custom to visit when Ktp, it was reported that he was in ron'cronce- with J. P. Morfran. An Mr. Morgan did not appear at his f!c.'.vn-town office today it was taken to indicate that he and the secretary of v;r had gotten together at some secret plaet of meeting. One report hail it that Mr. Root had gone off to Mr. Morgan's ya"ht Corsair, which is lying in the river. After breakfasting at the Union League club the secretary of war disap peared and no trace of him could be ob tained. Close friends who saw Governor Odell before his departure for Newburgh to day were inclined to believe that he has formulated a plan of action in the event that the strike is not. settled at an early dav. Ttis plan, however, is not believed to have any d;roct bearing on the set tlement of the dispute between the or erators and miners, but looks to a pro ject by which coal may be supplied to the suffering poor of this state. COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS An event of real interest is the pre sentation tonight at the New Crawford theater of George H. Broadhui st's suc cessful farce, "The Wrong Mr. Wright." The play itself is funny and worthy cf patronage, but the chief interest is ow ing to the appearance In it of Harry Beresford. This is Beresford's second season as a star. Last year he was im mensely successful. Previous to that he was the principal comedian In stock at the Auditorium theater in Kansas City for several years. He was such a craze in Kansas City that everywhere he went the small bovs shouted the catch lines of his various roles at him to let him know he was recognized. Beresford is genuinely fur.ny. He is accompanied this season by Emma Dunn, one of the. brightest ingenues who ever played hereabouts. The prices for the mat: nee are from 25 cents to $1. "Old Innocence." in which Tim Mur phy is starring this season, will be pre sented here soon with complete original scenery, beautiful costumes and novel stage accessories. Sousa and his band will be heard at the Auditorium Friday night, Novem ber 7. The announcement that Innes and his band will give one of their festival con certs in this city on their present trans continental tour, will greatly please muf ic lovers. This year this organiza tion is larger and stronger than ever, traveling in its own private train. Joseph Le Brandt's four act .drama. "Caught in the Web," will be seen for the first time at the New Crawford Monday. The play is said to be a hap py combination of pathos and humor. The comedy element is introduced in a natural manner to brighten the dark, seamy side of life as it is lived in New York. Each side is shown in this olay, and a great moral lesson is tausrht. Both the play and company have met with the most pronounced success ev- erywhere. The manner In which the piece is presented, the company, the five sets of scenery and the costumes have won approbation. Prices will range from 25 cents to SI. CHURCH NEWS.

It was very foggy this morning, foggy until Harry Beresford and his smiling face stepped off a Santa Fe train. The fog cleared away at once and the sun came out all wreathed in smiles and warmth. This was not the official observation made by the weather bureau but it must be taken as true because Beres ford's press agent made the observation both in an optical and vocal way. Harry Beresford did come to town this morning ready to play "The Wrong Mr. Wright" at the Crawford this af ternoon and tonight. He is still HARRY Beresford, if you please. Not Henry. His lithographs for the bill boards and all his advertising matter say his name is "Henry" Beresford. It ;was Harry a year ago. Some people thought tnat tne actor was troubled with a touch of acute enlargement of the poll but he isnt troubled that way a bit. "Yes, sir, it is .still Harrv." he re plied in answer to a Query. "My head has not swelled one bit. All this Henry business is the fault of the type setters. 1 have no leanings whatever toward an imitation of Henry Irving and don't be afraid that next year I will have Sir prefixed to my name. I'm iust tne same fellow who batted around in the west last year. I am not responsible for the changing of my name." A year ago when Beresfc-rd came to Tc peka he would not stop long enough for anyone to say "how-de-do" until he had rushed off to the postoffice and receipted tor a registered package from his wile. He opened it and found therein a necktie clasp. This season Mrs. Beresford, who is Emma Dunn on the stage and plays the part of "Tilly," is with him and the first thing she did this morning after the company arrived was to make straight for a store and buy her husband a neck tie lor that clasp to hold. "I want a new nlav." sakl Mr. Beres ford. "I am having considerable trouble in finding one. The big stars of the east ern constellation are having trouble in finding plays and it seems strange that a fellow like me should have any trouDle, but I am. Are there anv playwrights in Topeka? Yes? Well, if any of them have any good plays I would like to look at them. Now I am in earnest. If 1 can find a good cue I'll take it. Of course no blossoming Shaltespcares need apply. I want a good comedy. I can't seem to find one in the usual way, so I may discover a dramatist out here.

But I won't go there un less I can deliver the goods. My wife wants me to write a play lor myself, but I am Rfraid ot myselt. 1 may nave to, though." BIS BEAR BEAD FRIEND. The Mayor of Atlanta Speaks at the Funeral of a Negro. The funeral of Richard J. Henry, col ored, for so long a time the porter and private servant of his honor. Mavor Livingston Minms, embodied in its pro gramme an episode that is too notable and too altogether pleasing to be omit ted from a special comment. His fidel ity, his courtesy, his intelligence and his effective service had endeared him not only to his 'master and employers, but to all the numerous companv of white men of all degrees who came in contact with him. Large sums of money were intrusted daily to his care for transmis sion to the bank, and it is estimated that in this position he had carried upon his oerson millions, of dollars. At his funeral the respect and regard of the white friends of this. Admirable negro were everywhere in. evidence. They made a. large representation in the large audience, The funeral, conducted by high offi cials of Henry's own church gnd race. was most impressive ana tuu oi mgn tributes to the character and record of the deceased. The mayor of the city and his accomplished wife occuuied front seats in the church during the services, and when the ministerial offi ces had progressed in a certain point the mayor of the city, who was also the employer of the deceased, was called upon to speak. Without any special time for preparation, and mainly upon the impulse and suggestion of the mo ment. Mayor Mims. who has long been held one of the most accomplished and aristocratic gentlemen of the south, a cavalier and a bourbon of the most pronounced tyae, arose and said: "Your call on me to speak on this oc casion was certainly unexpected and yet while so heartily commending all that has been so feelingly and eloquent ly said in reference to my dear friend my friend of more than a third of i century I cannot refrain from express ing the genuine griet and sorrow that his death has occasioned me. Indeed, a sorrow that my entire family shares; and I know. too. it will be felt by the large number of his friends and mine who knew him so well in the connec tion he had with the business In which I have been engaged for so many years, and I might add his many white friends in this city who respected and admired him for the splendid qualities that he possessed. He was ever doing charity and kindness to all sorts of people. He was, indeed, a model husband and fath er, a good citizen and a loyal and de voted friend, and a Christian gentle man. "To me his offices of concern and thoughtfulness were constant and grateful. In the course of nature he should have survived me. and I always felt that if he did there was no living man on whom I could better rely for kindness and care for my family. I can point to no one whose daily life and character afford a better and more com mendable example to all men to emul ate than this. He well deserves all the comforts, blessings and promises of the holy religion he professed and which the distinguished reverend clergy has, on solemn occasion, so ably administered. I care not, though, for creeds in that unknown country 'from whose bourne no traveler returns' and to which his pure spirit tends for I feel that the good man who sleeps in all the awful majesty of death in yonder coffin car ries with him acceptable credentials to all the happiness that pertains mor tals after death. His memory will be treasured." Atlanta News. BRITISH COLONIES BECAY. Projects to Save British Honduras and British Central Africa. The approaching session of parliament is likely to be utilized to elicit information on the general attitude of the government with regard to two important railway schemes, viz.: 1. From the sea to Lake Nyasa, in Brit ish Central Africa. 2. From Belize, in British Honduras, to the Guatemalan frontier. The importance of the first one is inten sified by the question of native labor in South Africa. At present, owing to the absence of the railway from the sea to Lake Nyasa. the planters have to fall back on the natives as their only means of transport. Build the railway, and one opens no the colony and liberates 100.000 or 210.000 natives north of the Zambesi. who would gladly go to work in the mines if the British government invited them. This it cannot do as long as the railway is not built. At present it seems that the foreign office and the treasurv put every obstacle In the way of capital being applied to the making of the line. The continuous postponement of the pro posed line in British Honduras is becom ing a very serious matter. The colony is decaying year by year, and'colonist after colonist is on the brink of ruin. Every one who knows the country is in favor of the instruction of the line th,e governor, the i lature and the colonists. It is a rela ly easy undertaking. The Hn has cn surveyed, and It is iderstood that .tiijssrs. Perkins, Fowler Co. are ready to construct. the line, wltich is seventy-iive miles long, for a cash subvention of 100, 000 and 200,000 acres of land (value a dollar or 4 shillings an acre), the standard being that of the Uganda railway. This offer the colony warmly supports. Moreover, the government of Guatemala has signified its willingness to grant facil ities for the continuance of the line into its territory, and will, moreover, co-operate in the way of according land and other privileges to accompany the work of construction. The crown agents m London, however, after their investigation, think that the line cannot be built for less than 70.000 a sum which is held locally to be ridic ulous and impossible. Thi3 decision is also inexplicable. Here the matter stands, and meantime business is growing worse and worse. There is no colony, it is believed, in the British empire which Is in a more stagnant and hopeless condition than British Honduras, but it would seem that departmentalism at the colonial office is cverse to the employment of private cap ital, even under the fullest guarantees. London Chronicle. ROOSEVELT ACTIVE. President Hasn't Given Up Hope of Settling Strike. Washington, Oct.ll. President Roose velt is seeking every method by which there may be federal action in settling the coal strike. His cabinet advisers have been requested to look carefully into the laws which may have a bearing on the subject and see if there is anv statute under which he can proceed. So far nothing has been found. There is one ray of hone, but it is rather faint in view of the attitude of the coal operators.This is that some mu tual ground of arbltrationmay be found. The miners are willing to" consent to ar bitration of all questions. The operators admitted the principle of arbitration to a limited extent in offering to submit individual cases of disputes between em ployers and employes to the courts of common pleas in the districts where the disputes occur. What the president and his advisers are trying to ascertain is whether a middle ground of arbitration may not be agreed upon. This plan, even though it does not now give much hope of suc cess, is the only one in sight at present. Those who have discussed the matter with the president think that as the situation grows more acute both parties in the interest of public welfare may be induced to accept it or something of a similar nature. That the president is very much in earnest is shown from the conferences on the subject that continue at the White House. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department; Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, and Frank D. Sargent, commissioner of im migration, were among those who saw the president today and it is under stood all of them discussed the coal situation with him. No official statement could be obtained at the White House as to the progress of the administration's work, although it was aamutea that there was a "great deal going on," which it would be in expedient to make public at the present time. No intimation as to whether the remark referred to tle conferences at the White House or other negotiations. RUINED CITY OF COPAN. Honduras Government Has Stopped Work of Excavation. All work on the ruins of the great pre historic city of Copan. in Honduras, has been suspende by order of the Honduran government. Extensive excavations have been made at Copan by agents of the Pea body exploration fund, and great palace and temples, giant stairways and broad plazas have been unearthed. Enough was uncovered to show that Copan was the capital of a great empire which has en tirely vanished, leaving no history, not even traditional history, behind it which man as yet can read. The government of Honduras gave no valid reason for stopping the excavations, and the custodians of the Peabody ex ploration fund hope to be able to get per mission to resume work next year, as the prohibition Kerns to be only the result of a temporary freak on the part of the native officials. Meantime a wall has been built around a part of the excavated city and watchmen, living in huts amid the ruined palaces of forgotten kings, keep away natives who might deface and de stroy the elaborate stone carvings and scuptures. The history of Copan and its mighty warriors, wise statesmen and splendid kings is all written on numerous columns of stone and on the walls of the palaces and temples, but no man as yet can read the inscriptions. Archaeologists of the Peabody Museum have, however, master ed the calendar of the vanished people, and, with this as a starting point, are gradually making progress toward the acquisition of a knowledge of the language of the mysterious people of the forgotten empire.

Lathrop filed tht Allied People's ticket with the secretary of state two weeks ago i-e found that the anti-fusion law prohibits two words being used in a party name,' so he dropped the word 'Allied" and filed his ticket simply as the "People's ticket." It has been supnosed that it wouia go on the official ballot under this head, but at the last moment Secretary of State Clark decided that the Poaulists had 1 right to this name, so Mr. Lathrop amended the name of his ticket to "Pop ulist ticket," and it will appear on the official ballot under that heading. The various tickets will go on the offi cial ballot in the following order, ac cording to the certificates which are be ing sent-out by the secretary o state's office Kepublican. Democratic. People's. Prohibition. Socialist. PonulisT:. Independent. Blank column. In counties where no independent nominations are filed that column will be eliminated. In most counties there will be nothing in the People's column exefpt the names of the vaijous offices followed by the words "No Nomination." Only in one or two judicial districts will the secretary of state certify anv nominations under that heading. In Judge Pickler's judicial dis trict, composed of Jewell, Smith. Mitchell and Osborne counties, the only nomina tion filed for the fusion candidate was the People's, so in those counties and wher ever a county ticket has been filed as a "People's ticket," there will be a few names In that column, but in all other counties It will simply be a row of "No Nominations" down the entire ticket. In counties where there are any inde pendent nominations, as in Shawnee coun ty there Wiil be eight columns on the offi cial ballot. In other counties there will be Republican voters who want to scratch Nichols or L,i;chs in Shawnee county will have to vote down the Republican column on the extreme left hand side of the ballot until thev get to those two names and then go clear across six columns to t-.e Independent column, which will be next to tlie blank column on the extreme right hand side of the ballot.

The practical effect of Secretary Shaw's recent in structions to collectors of ports and other customs officers to facilitate as much as possible the importation of coal at the present time will be to ad mit Welsh hard coal free of customs duties. Customs officers In this city take the secretary's letter to mean that, while they are to carry out the tariff law in regard to the collection of duties on coal where there is a chance to construe the law liberally they are to do so. A liberal construction of the law in regard to coal will admit Welsh coal free, for it is a Question of but a few hundredths in the test as to fixed carbon that puts it in the dutiable or free list. Collector Stranahan of this port said to-dr.--: "If we are to put coal through in a hurry some may get in that does not pass test, if an imposter puts it on his papers as above 92 per cent. We can't put shiploads of coal through a chemical analysis. I think the secretary intends mat we snail taKe mat chance in the present coal situation. Orders have been issued to put coal importations at tne neaa or the list." OBJECT TO DUTIES. Test Case on TJ. S. Shipments Into Porto Rico. New York, Oct. 11.

The position taken bv the counsel is that the island of Porto Rico is in the same position to the Unit ed States as far as exports and imports are concerned, as any one of the states of the union.

Mex Henry Fleisch er is dead as a result of an injury re ceived in a foot ball game six years ago. Until two months ago Fleischer's parents did not know f the accident, but as soon as his father learned of it he had an examination made which showed that the young man's skull was depressed. The skull was trepanned, revealing a diseased condition of the brain. During the last six years Fleischer had suftered from severe headaches. Several times he was found uncon scious. When the accident occurred Fleischer was 13 years old and was anxious to get a place on the regular foot ball team of his school. He was kicked on the head and was picked up in a dazed condition, but exacted a promise from his play mates not to talk of the accident for fear his mother would not allow him to play any more. EXPELLED FROM. AUSTRIA. Foreigners Not Allowed to Pull Teeth in Vienna. Vinenna, Oct. 11. John W. Meadows, a qualified dentist of Philadelphia, has been fined $50 and expelled from Aus tria under an eld law which prohibits foreigners from practicing dentistry in Austria. Mr. Meadows was skilful and acted as assistant to Carl Pichler. a prominent dentist in Vienna. The American was apparently the victim of a Dlot of one of his former employers who sent his servant' to Pichler with the special request that M. Meadows extract a tooth. This is contrary to the law, which permits foreigners to act as assistant, but forbids them to perform operations. The judge expressed regret at being compelled to inflict sentence upon Mr. Meadows.

The American gen erals now visiting in England are un dergoing somewhat similar experiences of English hospitality to that of the colonial premiers during coronation time. From now until October IS when" they will sail for home. Generals Corbin and Young will not have a meal they can call their own. Beginning with the king, whose action in inviting them ta luncheon at Buckingham palace next Monday, the first week day he will be in London, has caused much favorable eminent, .they have received invitations from' numerous societies and Individ ual3. Lieut. McKinley, who, as aide-decamp, has most of the arranging of date to supervise, saici to a representa tive of the Associated I vess that he be lieved even Mr. Cortelyou. President Roosevelt's secretary, had scarcely a more difficult task. Both Gen. Corbin and Gen. Young expressed to the representative of the Associated Press their keen appreciation of the many attentions shown them. Karl Roberts has been untiring in af fording them attentions and the Ameri can generals are looking forward to their visit with htm to Woolwich and to Gen. French at Aldershot, next week, with great pleasure. Only one note of disappointment is heard, and that comes from the staff, who are not included in the invitation to Buckingham palace. While the American officers were in Cermany, Emperor William always asked the staff to attend functions with the generals. Gen. Wood will arrive here Sunday, in time to meet the king. Ambassador Choate is expected to accompany the Americans to Buckingham palace. Mrs. (jorDin nas been confined to the house with a cold. WILL FIGHT CORBETT. Jeffries Speaks of His Arrangements for the Future. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 11. Champion Jim Jeffries will leave next week for New Tork, where he will Join his the atrical company for the winter. In speaking of his arrangements for the future, and also his reported retirement from the ring:, Jeffries said: I am not going into business in San Francisco or anywhere else, nor have 1 any intention cf giving up the ring, for a while at least. Jeffries adds that while he and Cor- bett have talked over their proposed contest, no definite time has yet been FOOD VS. RECREATION. Good Food of the Greatest Importance. There is really no need to go away for rest if one will take scientincally made food that rebuilds the nerve centres and make work a comfort and pleasure. One of our prominent novelists was sent to Colorado. 'Ride every day. sleep in a tent, eat when you are hung ry,' my physician told me, but food did not satisfy me and rest would not end the fatigue that had me in its grip. I was a mere machine: eating, sleeoing, walking, riding, but unequal to a day s work and with no zest for the day's pleasure. j At the lowest ebb of strength and courage, my eyes fell on a piece of newspaper with which my guide was making a camp fire, and I picked it up and read 'Grape-Nuts, a Food for Brain and Nerve Centres. I read on: it seem ed to be a description of my own case cured by a diet of Grace-Nuts. I sent for a supply of the Food by the next pack-train that left my camp. It came, 45 miles from the nearest settlement, on a burro's back. That night I ate Grape Nuts without cream, milk or sugar. It tasted good. I felt that for the flrst time in six months, I had been fed. I went to my bed of pine bouhs, slept like a tired child, and woke rested. Then I knew that I had found what I needed, better than a new sky. better than exercise, better than rest, because lacking the food that exhausted nature was crying for, these things could not helr me. I am well now. If, in the future, I win any rewards by my pen, I shall count them gained by the food that made work Dcssible to me, and that gave back to me my old joy in living." Name given by Fostum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. set, but he thinks it will take place early next year. As the amount received by Jeffries and Fitzsimmons in their fight in San Francisco was $9,000 less than the purse offered by the Century club of Los Angeles, Jeffries is anxious to get that club to bid for the fight between him and Corbett.

s 1 ILv Editorial SectionuJ f- rf SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA. KANSAS. OCTOBER 11 1902. SATURDAY EVENING. CORN STORIES. Items That Prove the Prosper ity of Kansas. Evidence That Farming Pays In Sunflower State. EVERYTHING IS BIG. Potatoes, Corn and Pumpkins Tell Own Story. Cattle and Hogs Bring Money to People. Kansas has Just passed through a crop' season which has been neither a "bumper" nor a failure." It has been an averace season, the kind the farm era want ami the kind that brings the right share of prosperity to all. The papers of the state are printing paragraphs which explain the prosperity. The notices of large pumpkins, fat hogs, big potatoes, tall cornstalks, apple yields, alfalfa cuttings, chickens and melons have been picked up when pros perous farmers have dropped into the xtlicea to pay their subscriptions or have taken large vegetables to the editor for exhibition. Had a little effort been made to secure statistics about pros perity the stories would have been bigger and too numerous to print in this pace. A few prosperity items from here and there are as follows: Iola Record: It would be hard to con vince Josh Butler that farming In Kan Bus doesn't pay. If the three or four store buildings, the half a dozen resi dences, which he rents at a good price and which were built with money made In farming, should suddenly become nonproductive, Mr. Butler declares that he would not starve for a few weeks, at least. With u big wheat acreage thai averaged 30 bushels to the acre, with Immense corn fields that will average 7'J bushels to the acre, and with about 400 bushels of potatoes on the farm and an abundance of smaller crops he thinks that he would be able by strict economy to get through the winter. He has 112 head of two and three-year-old steers that he will put on full feed and next summer he will about break up the packing trust. "Farming may not pay In Kansas," he said to a Record man. "but I think that a man with such crops would be able to keep the wolf from gnawing the screens down until the Hies come next year. Even a cur dog could fight back the long-eared gnawer with such crops as these. Sedan Times-Star: Mr. Phillips has returned from a visit to Ohio. Andy did not know whether he was satisfied with Kansas or not until he went away for awhile. Now he says he can say cf the old "sunflower patch" that "ab sence makes the heart grow fonder." Kensington Miner: Albert Brunow tells us he will have about 2.000 bushels of corn this year, and he had 60 acres of wheat that averaged 24 bushels to thu acre. Cherokee County Republican: An eastern paper states that Kansas farm ers are getting ready to burn corn again this winter. Those who wish may pay their subscriptions to this paper In that kind of material at fuel prices. Eastern fellows need not think that be cause there is a coal strike on in Penn sylvania that we are likely to go cold here. Corn stalks make better fire than corn docs, and the stalks this year are as bi as the ordinary stove wood in thickness. No, the corn will be needed to send to the hungry people of the east, we cannot afford to burn it. Newton Kansan: Fred Rowland of Harvey county is a firm believer in alfalfa. This summer he had a 50-acre field sown to this kind of feed. He has already made two cuttings, each yield ing about two tons and will have a third cutting, which will give at least SI) tons, unless there should be frosts. The 150 tons of alfalfa obtained in this way have sold for about J6 a ton on an average, making a total of $900 from the year's crop. In addition to this 124 bushels of seed were obtained from the second growth and found a ready mar ket at 6 a bushel. The $744 received from this source added to the $900 makes a total of $1,164 as the proceeds of the 50 acres for one season. Oberlin Eye: On the first day of Jan uary, 1902, W. L. Acton bought 160 acres of land on the Sappa, southwest of Oberlin, paying $12.50 per acre therefoi. In the spring he sowed 40 acres to bar ley, planted 40 aers to sugar cane, and put in 50 acres of a.falfa. The barley yielded 40 bushels to the acre and he sold it for 4) cents a bushel, or a total of $16 pier acre. The cane will do fullv as well as the barley, and the alfalfa has made a good stand and growth, so that 140 of the quarter paid for itself the first year and left a nice margin towards paying for the remainder of the Quarter. What is the matter with Decatur county? Kansas Commoner: Seventeen head of native steers, averaging 1.266 pounds, soil at Kansas City at IS. 75. which is the highest price for beef ever reeeivej on that market. The cattle were sent by C. C. Slaughter, of Dallas. Tex. They were fed at Council Grove, Kas., and m 20 months gained 912 pounds. A store window- in Ottawa is deco rated with corn and among the eas is a small one, bearing this explanation: "This curiosity is called a 'nubbin.' It is the only one we have been able to in eastern Kansas. This specimen was secured in the suburbs of Ottawa, from i a stalk that grew out of mortar In a brick wall. Its surroundings and the fact that the stalk was twice struck by j lightning as it towered above the build- ing, probably accounts for the peculiar dwarfed appearance oi tne ear. Ottawa Herald: Thirty head of hogs were unloaded at the stock yards last week by William Coughlin. The hogs averaged 307 pounds. Rossville News: The record Is smash ed. Henry Bond placed an ear of corn on exhibition at Park's grocery that measures 14 inches in length and weighs over two pounds. Atchison Globe: In M. F. Ellis' yard is a tree bearing a second crop of Maid en Blush apples. McPherson Republican: Riley grew a potato this year that he don't know whether to call it a potato or a dozen potatoes. It contains eleven small ones and one large one and weighs a pound and three quarters. He also grew an other that is the greatest natural curi osity grown in the state. The potato grew inside of a leather ring filling it completely full and grew out through two holes on opposite sides of the leath er about one inch in diameter, and form ed two other parts on the outside nearly two inches In diameter. Palina Union: W. J. Ratcllff. man ager of the C. P. Dewey ranches at Atwood and Manhattan, .who was in Salina several times last week, is or ganizing a 100,000 acre ranch in Rawlins and Cheyenne counties the largest ranch in the state. These counties are in the extreme northwestern corner oi the state. Ottawa Herald: Robert Steen had the largest hogs of the season on the market last week. They weighed out sixty dollars each. Westmoreland Record: H. W. Monroe bought a couple of car loads of stock cattle in Kansas City and brought them to his farm west of town Saturday to dispose of his hay. Kansas Commoner: On his Kansas ranch Mr. Sherman, of Getieseo, raises Shorthorn cattle, but he has a ranch in Mexico on which Hereford cattle are bred. These cattle are shipped to Gen eseo and fattened for the market. Mr. Sherman owns about 25,000 acres of land and leases about 15,000 acres, which ex. tends for sixteen miles along the Mis souri Pacific railway and about thirteen miles north and south. Kingman Leader-Courier: John Ballard, of Ripley, Okla., is in the city seeking a location. Mr. Ballard was one of the first settlers in Belmont township and resided there about ten year. He moved to Oklahoma fourteen years ago and has prospered, but all these years has yearned to return to Kingman county, and his visit here this time is for the purpose of buying- a farm and home that he may return again to his first love. They all come back, if they live long enough. Dodge City Globe: Ford county Is be coming a great potato country. A few days ago, Joe Hink brought thirteen potatoes to town that measured up half a bushel. Burlington Jeffersonlan: C. N. Sut ton, who lives on the Richards place near Ottumwa on Hickory creek, so far as reported, takes the cake for big corn. He has twenty acres that is yielding US bushels to the acre. It takes fifty-six ears to make a bushel of eighty pounds, according to the figures of Woodford Bros. Mr. Sutton has a rec ord to be proud of. Rooks County Record: Four hundred and fourteen head of grass fat, high grade steers belonging to Dr. Daugherty of Cawker City were driven through Main street Thursday morning. They had been subsisting in Sheridan county and were on their way to the feed lot in Mitchell county. When finished for the market they will represent a little fortune, barring a slump in beef, which can hardly occur. Wabaunsee Tribune: Rev. J. B. Gib son sold two dozen of his fine white Plymouth Rock chickens to be shipped to Oklahoma. It pays to raise the best chickens as well as the best stock. Jewell County Republican: Mrs. Nate Ratcliff sent in some of the biggest apples we have seen this year, last Sat urday. Some of them measured 11 inches around the belt. They have 160 trees in bearing, and are selling nice windfalls for 50 cents a bushel. Atchison Globe: John S. Miller, at Doniphan, has sold his apples at $1.10 per barrel in the orchard, to Sandusky He Co. He went to St. Joe yesterday, but the buyers there were so rushed they could do nothing for him. Mr. Miller has a thousand barrels of market able apples. Lane New Leaf: When fishing time comes again we will be prepared. Wright Newhcuse brought us a cane stalk which will make an elegant pole and it's "nigh onto" 20 feet long. E. E. Smith brought in an ear of white corn contain ing even 1.200 grains, and defies any one to beat it. He says he will guarantee to show an ear containing more grains than can be showin by any one else. Atchison Globe: Clyde Brlggs, a col ored Globe carrier, saved up earnings from his route a year ago and bought several pigs for sixteen do.isrs. He raided more pigs, and fattened th; in crease and attended to business. Yes terday he sold a few of his sho its for 55. Previously he had sold $27 worth of pigs, and he still has pigs valued at f':0, so that he has realised in a year fully S140 clear profit on an original in- m (l j brown pap g er btiriitn Your wife, or any one else, might ask you that question if you smoke one of those cheap trust cigars made by you dont; know: who.

Briggs be longs to Prof. Gray's industrial class of colored boys which makes money cut ting lawns and raisins' vegetables. Kansas Commoner: C". W. Southward has bought 5.000 western sheep which he will bring to Sedgwick county to fatten this coming winter. Mr. Southward has fed a great number of sheep before and always made a sood profit and he de iern'.ined to try it again this winter. Ho went west in 1895 and bought 700 sheep and fed them in this countv Just as an experiment. The next year he fed 2,500 and in 1S'J7 he fed 3.000. It is quite evi dent that the experiment was success ful for in 1S9S he fed 10,000 and in 1900 he fed 17,000 sheen in his feed lots. Sterling Bulletin: "Not so bad after all," said Henry Evans. "I raised 1,000 bushels of wheat and 2.000 bushels of corn and did it all myself, excent about one month I bad a hand. When you take it all round I think we have about as Kood a county as you can find any where." Kingman Leader-Courier: Kingman Is rather a healthy county as is evidenced every day. When S. B.

Technical Question Arises About Election Bonds. 10 GEO. il. NOBLE IIOl'E TO YET FIX IT. Tronhle Caused About Women's Tote on Bond Proposition. If Their Tote Is Light Would Not Matter. Unexpected complications have arisen which may make it necessary for the luestion of voting bonds to build school Suiidlngs to be held over to some future lime, and not be called in conjunction with the coming county election. All the difficulty hinges on the ques tion of whether it is necessary to have two complete sets of judges and clerks H each voting place, one set to attend to the general election, and one to the bond election. City Attorney Spencer is ME the opinion that two boards will be necessary. If it is found that two boards -mill be required, the bond election will have to be held over, for Klection Commissioner X. S. Williams says that he has con tracted for rooms in which to hold the election- and that in most cases the rooms are too small to accommodate two boards. furthermore, if it is necessary to have two boards, the expense of the election will be nearly doubled. It will coet the city almost $1,000 extra. City Attorney Spencer will draw up the election proclamation today, and will e says tlx it so that the questions at ue will have to be decided by the elee Fion board, composed of one councilman trom each ward of the city. If the board decides that two boards are necessary to do the work, it will then be "up to" Mayor Parker to issue his proclamation In accordance with these findines. It is thought that two complete elec tion boards will be necessary for this reason: Women are allowed to vote at the bond election, but not at the general county and state election. If the elec tions are held at the same time it would not do to put the names of the women on the poll books with the names of the men, because the certificate of the Judges that the women voted at the general election would be invalidated. It is therefore absolutely necessary to keep the names of the women who vote on the bond proposition separate from the names o the men. It is also held that the male voters on the bond proposition will also have to be recorded on a sep arate poll book. This would make two complete sets of poll books and tferee ballot boxes to be attended to, which would be rather more than the average board of elections could manage. Usu ally the judges and clerks can't keep one set. of books straight, to say nothing of two sets. There seems to be only one hone of escape for the election board, and that is to trust that the women's vote on the bond proposition will be light, and ar range it. if it can be done legally, so that the poll of the women voters be kept on a separate sheet, and incorpora ted with the general election poll book afterwards, the tally sheets showing the summary of both male and female votes on the bond proposition. This would necessitate keening only the ex tra Doll book for female voters, and if the female vote was not too heavy might be' handled by one election board. Home believe that the female vote on the bond election will not be over 1.000 for the whole city, while others antici pate that it will run much heavier if the women get interested in the Ques tion. In the spring election last year there were 6,000 female votes cast. W. C. T. U. SESSION. Summary of 23rd Annual Meeting at Manhattan. The twenty-third annual convention of the Kansas W. C. T. IT. was held in Manhattan, commencing the evening of September 30, closing the afternoon of October 3. All sessions were presided over by the president, Mrs. K. P. Hutch inson.

Many Homes Completed and Building in the Addition. Many comfortable homes are being erected in Topeka this fall and probably no locality is attracting more attention in real estate circles than the Orchard Place addition. This addition. which was the old Douthitt tract, will no longer be avail able for military camps nor for cir cuses. The tract was olatted and placed on the market less than a year ago and now it is dotted here and there with homes and a snecially active building boom is on there now. The extremely wet weather early in the building season delayed the erec tion of many homes but the outlook now is for good weather for the builders and many improvements are now un derway. When the property was platted 527 lots were placed on the market. Now about 3:"0 lots are still left. All the lots sold have been bought by per sons who expect to build homes. It is often the case when additions are put on the market that the choice lots are at once picked up. This has not been the case in the Orchard addition as the prices on the lots were arranged on a scale which graded the price of the lots according to the desirability. The Orchard Place addition is one of the largest ever opened for settlement in Topeka. It is bordered by Western ave nue on the west, Kansas avenue on the east. Fourteenth street on the north and Seventeenth street on the south. Among the residences to be built in Orchard Place will be the $4,500 home to be built by FVank Grimes on the west side of Douthitt and Harrison streets. A. E. Harrison will build a home on the east side of Douthitt and Harrison streets. Eugent Hopkins will build a home on Harrison near Fourteenth street. A. O. Rosser has let the contract for a home to be built on the east side or Topeka avenue near Fifteenth street. Carl Erickson will build a house on Topeka avenue near Fifteenth street. E. G. Anderson will build a home on his Topeka avenue lots in the spring. Mrs. Clara B. Chamberlain has built a cottage on an Buren and Euclid. Dell Parker has completed his house on Tyler street near Fourteenth street. J. G. Rodemyer owns a new cottage on Douthitt and Tyler streets. George DeLap has built three cottages on Kansas avenue near Euclid. W. H. Boasen is building a house on Kansas avenue between Douthitt and Huntington avenues. E. B. Patten will build a home on Van Buren between Douthitt and Hunting ton avenues. Thomas Dillon is building a house on Van Buren street between Huntington and Douthitt avenues. W. H. Brown has built a home on Van Buren street near Huntington avenue. H. C. Root is living in his home on Van Buren between Huntington and Euclid avenues. The lots on the west side of Topeka avenue and the lots on the east side of Western avenue have sidewalks already laid. Most of the lots on Van Buren street have been sold but there are many desirable locations on all the other streets. WThen asked as to their attitude on the sewer question the owners of Or chard Place expresed themselves as willing to co-operate with residents of adjoining territory if it is their desire to secure sewer facilities. WAS 132 YEARS OLD. Illinois Woman Living at Time of Boston Tea Tarty Dead. Chicago, Oct. 11. A woman who, ac cording to her own report, was living at the time of the Boston tea party and the meeting of the first Continental congress is dead at the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. If the re ports of her age should be correct, she was the oldest person In Illinois, and possibly in the United States. The wo man was Ellen Stewart, a slave before the Civil war, three times married, and mother of four children, the last of whom died several years ago of old age. According to her story, she was born in 1 1 70. and consequently was 132 years old, The officials of the institution in which she died, after an investigation as thorough as could be made, credited her statement. Until within a few months of her death the woman was in complete con trol of her senses and told many stories of men and women distinguished in the earlier days of Virginia and Kentucky. She was born in Virginia. PRIEST WAS OUSTED. Nebraska Bishop Wins Court Victory Over Church Member. Lincoln, Neb., Oct .11. The supreme court has rendered an oninion in favor of Bishop Bonacum in his suit to oust Rev. Father Harrington from the parish property in the town of Alma. The bishop several months ago dismissed the priest from his charge," but the lat ter refused to retire from the parish house and retaining the keys, continued to hold services in the church. Bishop Bonacum sought to secure possession of the property and enjoin the priest from, using it. but the lower court de nied the writ. This judgment is revers ed by the supreme court. It holds that when the governing authority of a church of a religious organization has deprived one of its clergymen of his authority to officiate as such he may be enjoined from using the property. This is the third victory for Bishop Bonacum in his actions against priests. REVOLUTIONARY RELIC. Old New York Prison Going to Decay to Be Removed. New York. Oct. 11. It has been de cided that the old Hall of Records in this city, which was used as a prison in the days of the revolution, shall be removed to make wa.' for the Rapid Transit tunnel. If possible the Histori cal society will get possession of parts of the building in the hope that they may be put together again on another site.

Inflammation of the eyes is often caused by using poisonous cream. Satin Skin Cream will not hurt the eyes. 23c. jSTew York, Oct. 11. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Favorable symptoms still predomin ate and the bufincss outlook is encour aging, despite the adverse factors of la bor controversies, fuel shortage and tight money. That these drawbacks have not seriously checked industrial progress testifies to the strong position attained during recent months of unin terrupted activity- and growing confi dences. Manufacturing plants depend ent upon steam for motive power are finding ivroiits- curtailed by the high prices for fuel, and unless normal con ditions are soon restored it will be nec essary to secure better quotations for products. The rirohlem of adequate transportation is also disturbing, as there is already congestion in the coke regiivn. When anthracite coal mining is fully resumed and grain shipments at tain expected dimensions the railroads will find great difficulty in meeting ail requirements, despite vigorous efforts to increase facilities. Railway earning. in September were 9.4 per cent larger than last year and 20.2 per cent in ex cess of VJ30. Dun's index number of commodity prices proportioned to con sumption was $100, 64S on October 1, an advance of 4.1 per cent, compared with the position of September 1. It is cer tain that all records of pig iron produc tion would be far surpassed if eok could be obtained, even at the excep tionally hlsrh prices notv rrevai!li.it. Hence, reports of active furnaces meas ure the available supply of coke, rather thin the demand- for rilg iron. Imparts continue on a literal scale, although new rulings as to tariff rates checked arrivals of steel cillets. "Railway equipment is still the most active feature cS the market, car shop--seeking materia I, while orders are placed for far distant delivery because early shipments are Impossible. Hisii prem4 ums are offered for locomotives, but works have their books filled well int3 next year. Last week's reduction in pr ices of sheets and wire has not been followed by arr weakness in other branches of the trade, while an improv ed demand is reported in the lines mak ing -concessions. "Shipments of footwear from eastern shops continue on a large scale, com paring favorably with the movement a year ago, which was considered excep tionally heavy: Further sales of heavy goods for winter wear are reported and shipments of fall, shoes are tardy. The amount of business already placed as sures activity" at the factories for some time and buyers have paid higher prices for calf boots. Most varieties of sole leather and belting butts are weaker, while other divisions of the market are sustained by liberal purchases, partly for export. Hides are dull and weaker. with the larger buyers out of the mar ket, and as the season advances the quality deteriorates. Cotton mills in New Kngland are preparing to shut down on account of the fuel shortage and the market for goods is strong be cause supplies are already limited. Jobbing sales are fully up to the aver age for the season and collections are satisfactory, but uncertainty as to the future tends to restrict undertakings. Conclusion of the opening purchases of woolens has brought a quiet market for spring weights and there is only a mod erate demand for heavy goods for quick delivery. Complaints are still heard as to the delay in the movement of sample pieces. Failures for the week numbered 245 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 21 in Canada, compared with 34 a year ago." Bradstreet's will tomorrow say: "Cooler weather has brought the coal supply question home to millions of people and discussion of this has dwarf ed all other matters in the public eye. There is a possibility, however, that the tendency to exaggeration may be car ried to extremes, and that a matter bad enough at best may be made worse by injudicious talk. Special investigation by Bradstreet's correspondents at fifty cities and industrial centers east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers seem to indicate that, aside from the, damage tt general busi ness caused in the coal regions them selves by the idleness of. 140,000 indus trial workers, the coal strike as yet has been the cause of a much smaller dis placement of industrial workers than is generally supposed. Iron smelting alone of nil the great industries has been seri ously curtailed, though brick manufac turing has suffered and small hand laundries have been crippled. Including furnace employes in eastern Pennsyl vania brickmakers in and near the Hudson valley and a large number of coal handlers at tide water docks, not to exceed 20,000 men, or only one-seventh of the number of actual' strikers have been rendered idle. "Uneasiness as to future surnlies of fuel is widely noted and it is worth men tioning that the scarcity of coke at thj west this being entirely distinct from the anthracite shortage and due to car shortage complained of throughout' the entire year is displacing some indus trial workers in the iron trade. Oil, both crude and illuminating, has advanced in "In the northwest general activity reigns In business with retail trade im proving and collections quite satisfac tory. On the Pacific coast a generally good business is reported, export Irak is large and building activity is excep tional. The easier tone of raw cotton has made manufacturers more inclined to do business. Stocks of cottons are small, both at first and second hands. Woolen goods are active at all markets. In women's wear chevirts note special activity, and fancy goods sell the best in five years. New England Jewelry manufacturers note an active demand for solid goods. "Aside from the fuel scarcity, it may be truly said that every business pros pect pleases. Fall jobbing, though nec essarily not so active as earlier, is really better than anticipated. Recorders note difficulty of fulfillment, indicating lack of depressing stocks. Spring trade ad vices are better than usual at this date and predictions as to the coming holi day business are optimistic. The cur tailment of iron production resulted in a smaller output for September than in previous months, but of late the domes tic output of pig has shown signs of in creasing. Imports of foreign iron and steel are large. Rails, plates and struc tural iron are active, strong and sold ahead heavily into 1903. but tin plates, wire and nails are weak. Other indus tries are active. Flour production is about at its maximum and demand is good. "Increased supplies of farm products, notably cereals, cattle and hogs and raw cotton, have weakened the prices of natural food products during the montn of September, but manufactured food products, like butter, cheese, groceries, teas and some meats have moved higher. Fuel of all kinds, rendered scarce by strikes and car shortages, advanced heavily. Tobacco is higher on shorter yields." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. S. Johnston and husband to G. H.

"My ambition in life is not money," Bays Prof. Adkin, the great healer who is daily curing men and women of the very worst diseases after learned doe tors have oronouncod their cases hope less. His method of treatment is some what mysterious, but the fact that he cures the sick when all else fails, when the doctors lose ho:e and science de spairs, Is demonstrated beyond contro versy. No matter whether you have Consumption, Kidney Trouble, Rheuma tism, Catarrh, Dyspepsia, or simply an ordinary Cold of Fever, they are all nlike to Prof. Adkin. He cures them all, he cures you quickly, painlessly, perma nently at your own home. He also tells you a secret method by which you may keep yourself in perfect health. With out exaggeration it can safely be said that Prof. Adkin is the most interesting, remarkable, and wonderful physician healer of the age. His only talk, his only thought is How to cure Incurables, to bring hope to the hopeless, joy, sun shine, and hapDiness to the miserable and suffering. He is truly carrying on a grand work. He is president of one of the largest healing institutions in the world. He employs twenty eminent phy sicians and specialists to assist him with his work. He spends thousands of dollars every year in giving free advice and help to the sick. No matter where you live, the service of the best special ists may be yours. All you have to do Is to write a letter to Prof. Adkin de scribing vour case and he will immedi ately diasnose your disease and pre scribe the proper home treatment for your speedy recovery. This will not cost you a single cent. No money is asked "for this service, none is taken. If you are sick and want to make a donation for the purpose of carrying on the work, such will be thankfully received. Prof. Adkin will also send every sick person who writes him within the next thirty days a free copy of his wonder ful new book, entitled "How to Be Cured and How to Cure Others." This book is highly indorsed by leading physicians, it contains invaluable infor mation in regard to diseases and what to do in cases of emergency. It should be in every home. Remember, it costs you nothing if you write to Prof. Ad kin now. Mrs. Paubert. cf 2322 North Tenth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., writes: "Your treatment has restored my mother to perfect health. It seems like a miracle, as the very best physicians gave me very little hope. They said her trouble was incurable. It seems as if she had almost risen from the dead." Mrs. C. A. Brownell, of Dane, Oklaho ma, writes: "I was tortured for months by terrible pains in my head, and this, together with loss of sleep began to af fect my mind. Your treatment has done wonders for me. I sleep well nights and those terrible pains in my head are gone. Thank God, hope has taken the rlace of despondency and I have a new lease of life." Alex Moffat, of 3XS Brown Street, Rochester, N. T., writes: "When I ap plied to you for treatment I was as I might say, a physical wreck, suffering from pains in the chest and stomacii, also poor digestion, and on the verge of nervous prostration. I had tried most everything and had about given up when I tried your treatment. My pains have gone, my nerves are strong, and I feel like a new- man. 1 wiih you success in your noble work." Mr. .1. N. Purdy, Pm-dy's, N. Y., writes "I have been suffering from severe stricture and bladder, trouble for over three years. 1 was given up by my physician' as incurable. My urine had to be drawn from me and the scaldinr and burning was intense. My suffering was almost unbearable. I took advan tage of your offer and to my great as tonishment I was relieved the second day. Your cures are certainly wonder ful." If sick be sure to write Prof. Adkin et once for free help. Be sure to state the leading symptoms of your disease, how long you have been sick, etc. Your letter will be treated with the strictest confidence and receive immediate atten tion. Address Prof. Trios. F. Adkin, of fice 331G. Rochester, N. Y. Richard Mansfield's special train cf nine cars was whipping through Kansas, running west from Kansas City, says the Chicago Record-Herald. The actor'3 own private car was, against his usual custom, attached to the extreme rear of the train, so that like a whip lash it got the full benefit of all the speed. Three of the star's Kansas Citv friends were dining with him in his car. He was on his way to open in Denver, and they had come out a couple of hun dred miles from the Kaw to wish him good speed on his western trip. The whole party was at the table and Mr. Mansfield was lifting a spoonful of soup to his lips when the train plunged round a sudden curve. The effect was some what disconcerting, and Mr. Mansfield called his old waiter. "Jefferson." he said. "I would like to speak to the conductor." The conductor came back through the train, took off his cap, and asked what was wanted. "How fast Is the train running just now?" asked the actor. "About S miles an hour, sir." "Well, aren't you afraid," purred the tragedian, "that my guests will get in digestion by eating so fust?" The conductor went forward, and in a few minutes the speed of the train slackened perceptibly. The special was running up the Pa cific coast from San Francisco to Ta coma. It was five hours late, and soon it became apparent that it would not be possible to reach Tacoma in time to open the performance at the regular hour. Presently Mansfield sent the fol lowing telegram to the manager of the Tacoma theater: "Hold audience until 9:30. Train un avoidably delayed." The Tacoma manager got that mes sage and groaned. The house had been sold out, and "no performance" meant a loss to him of more than $1,000. Hp had had experience with other actors, and he felt certain that 9:30 meant at least an hour later. He knows now that Mansfield is the most exact of men. At S:20 he decided to dismiss the audience and return the money. The pfop'-e were practically all out of the house and the hex office was empty when at S:40 Mans field and his company walked in. A dialogue followed which was warm and emphatic on both sides. It 'tooli place between the local manager and the actor in the lobby of the theater. It hir-ened that one cf the theater par ties had been late m leaving its dux. and was passing cut through, the lobby as Mr. Mansfield and the manager weri throwing vocal red pepper at each other. One of the ladies detached herself from the rest of the party and introduced her self to the actor. ";r. Mansfield," she said, "however badiy you may feel about the abandon ment of this performance, tne disap pointment is realiy ours. We Tacoma people have been looking forward to seeing you for years. i e had bought and crowded every seat in the ouse Now we are not to see you after ail. You may not come back here asrain for five jvars. So you see our misfortune is realiy greater tnan yours. Instead ol blaming the lical manager it ssems to me you should.be thinking what you can do for us. i. It was a flattering little sneecri, pret tily maae. and the tragedians rancor was appeased. "I am going- to play in Seattle to morrow evening." he said, "and if you. madam, your husband, and your friends will be m-s e-uests on mv car T will glad ly take you over to Seattle and give you a box at the performance. The invitation was accepted, and the trip v.-a.s made. On the wav a sudden friendship developed between the actor and his new found Tacoma friends. They impressed on him, again and again, the great loss which Tacoma feit in missing his performance, and finally roused ail the chivalry in Mansfield's nature. "Ladies," he said. "I will cancel my matinee engagement in Seattle and will take the train back to Tacoma on one condition. That is that you accept and distribute all the tickets in the house for that performance among your friends in Tacoma." The splendid courtesy was accepted, and Mansfield actually canceled" his matinee engagement in Seattle, the se.l3 for which had already been practically sold out, returned the -money, put his scenery and enmpany on the special train, and doubled back to Tacoma, where a performance was riven at which the --ouse was packed and not a person present paid a cent for his seat. Some years ago Dr. and Mrs. Lorir.g, of Washington. D. C, were the recip ients of a similar compliment from the actor. As the result of a friendly wager as to the success of one of his ventures a wager which Mansfield, taking the negative side, lot he gave a special performance of "Beau Brummel" at what is now Chase's theater in Wash ington, and everybody in the crowded house was the suest of Dr. and Mrs. Boring. Chicago didn't seem Inclined to depart, I concluded to get rid of it and eultir vate my new land at one and the same time. I therefore sot me a pick. hoe. and shovel, and every afternoon I was at work. "I didn't dare to rertn in mirn. ins, for if you once get outdoors in the country, you know how it is you doii't go in again. And there were other things that had to be done besides dig ging, and planting, and watching things grow. It's pleasant, though, for you can see results that is, the digging is pleas ant aner it is over with: And what about the orchestral con certs this winter?" v ell, vou've seen the li3t." was the answer. "The feature of the season will be that it has no feature. I have taken care to secure all the novelties of importance, and many of them we will have here before the cities of the east and of Europe do, but I have thought it best to arrange no series such as we had last veftp and the ves,r before. To tell the truth, orchestral lit erature is still young, and we really have had about all the kinOs of series that are feasible." ANOTHER NE"W PIAY HO USE.

He pointed with pride to the good-sized, well-matured, callous spots on the palms of his hands, and laughingly remarked: "Those didn't come from conducting."

Public Interest Aroused by the State--- meat by Pipeman Oscar Stehlin o( the Indianapolis Fire Force. The fire department of Indianapolis is widely known for its efficiency and for the high physical standard of its members. This accounts in a measure for the interest that has attached to the rescue from almost certain death of a pipeman of Chemical Engine Com pany No. 1. It was known that the man was found by his captain to be in a state of nervous collapse, but the full facts are now published for the first time. The fireman, Oscar Stehlin, lives at No. 1610 East Tenth street, Indianap- Blip oils, where he was found by a reporter. In reply to questions he said: "When 1 entered the Pre department I was a hearty, vigorous man. It was the cold, exposure and lack of rest, I suppose, that made my health break down. My nerves were in horrible shape. Night after night I would walk the floor, un able to get a wink of sleep. I had ner vous chiils and these were followed with hot flashes and terrible shooting: pains. Then, right afterward, I would feel as if I were freezing to death and would have to get close to a stove to get warm. "For a year I dragged along in this way, gTowing worse every day. My ap petite was gone, my color a sickly yel low, and my strength just about wasted away with my flesh. "I spent a great deal of money foi treatment, but could see no improve ment. The doctors did not seem to get at the root of my trouble. I was really in a state of nervous collapse when my captain spoke to me about my condi tion and said that I had better try Dr. .Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Feople. Well, I aid try them and had not been taking them for a week before a change came for the better. My nerves seemed quieter. I could sleep and feel rested in the morning and food began to ap peal to me again. The medinice was helping me -and I continued taking the pills until I had used about eight boxes. They brought about a complete cure. I cannot say half enough in praise of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for they saved my life. I should be in my grave now but for these pills." Mr. Stehlin's friends all know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple accomplished for him, and his story is important to all who are suffering from nervous troubles. Dr. Williams' Ftnk Pills for Pale Feo ple are unlike other medicines because they act directly on the blood and nerves. This makes them invaluable in such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par tial rjsralvsis. St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after-effects of the grip, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

R. encampment next year wiil get the worth of their money in railroad ride. An estimated beet crop of 4,000 tons In Kearney county has caused the building of a dump whatever that Is. Governor Curnmings of Iowa may be out of harmony with New York Repub licans, but he has his Iowa constitu ency behind him. What a blessing the coal strike is proving to the beef trust. With coal $20 a ton no one thinks of kicking on IS cent per pound steaks. When Mr. Hearst gets to congress will he introduce red headlines and a comic supplement Into the Congressional Record? J. J. Sehenck, the Democratic nominee for county a'ttorney, seems to hold the key to the situation. The other two can didates insist that he should get off the track. 1 i AA. The supreme court in its tussle with its conscience and a desire to be fair, seems to have closed the only avenue by which the fusionists could get jus tice In another three weeks this awful suspense as to whether the average Kansas citizen has been "disfranchised" by the red tape of the new election law will be settled. A Leavenworth editor is passing slenpless nights trying to Eupport the Democratic candidate for governor and the Republican congressman and not get his editorials mixed. What is the Topeka Ministerial Union going to do about the Bible in the schools question, row that the supreme court of Nebraska has decided that Its use can not be enforced? Bailey and Craddock are going to set tle the issues of the day again next week. Joint .political debates alway3 convince those whose minds are made up that they are right. It isn't always the ignorant voter who makes a mistake in marking his ballot. The confident citizen who thinks he knows all about it Is the one who stands in danger this year. Lady Henry Somerset doesn't like Mrs. Nation's methods. The Kansas Joint smasher is a little too enthusiastic In her reforms. The others talk about them, but she believes in enforcing thern herself. If the trouble and red tape of the present election law results in making the public so disgusted that Che whole system will be wiped ut and voting machines substituted in its place, it will not have been in vain. It might be mentioned that when President Baer of the Reading railroad arrives at a conference on the strike Situation it isn't long until a report is fiven out that negotiations for a set tlement of the strike are useless. If the Pennsylvania railroad com panies are prohibited by the state con stitution from owning coal mines, there is really no cause for the state of Penn sylvania to shed the blood of its troops In an endeavor to protect their illegal holdings. P. H. Forbes, license collector of To peka, Is without doubt an honest man, but he is so guileless that any one can victimize him. There are still people Jn the country who buy gold bricks and lr, Forbes has already bought several for the city. Here are a few suggestions for head lines next Tuesday. Republican paper: "All In. Craddock Falls a Victim to E3ailey's Eloquence. House Crowded With Republicans. Popular Candidate Wins in a Walk." The Allied Forces organs may use the following: "He Wins. Craddock Finds Bailey Easy Prey. Republican Nominee Evades Question. Could Not Stand Before Avalanche of Facts." HINT FOB TOPEKA. A representative of the I. O. O. F. went before the Topeka Commercial club Wednesday evening and gave utter ance to a few ideas which should be carried around In the heads of those who want to see this city live up to every opportunity, and should be acted upon at once. He said in substance that the Odd Fel lows wanted to come to Topeka with their state gathering of 1,500 delegates from year to year, but that last year Topeka's representatives, had been obliged to take the floor and simply tell them that they were not wanted here. Naturally that was not soothing to a number of them, so they quickly decided to go somewhere else. It may seem strange that such an answer should have been given to the people who were waiting and anxious to be asked to come and be with us, up wards of 2,000 in number, and spend within our limits a little more than $13, 000. But the explanation was this. The local Odd Fellows' lodges were com pelled every year when the meeting of their brethren and sisters of the three links came here to bear all the expenses. Members who earn their living by daily labor had to lay off and serve with re ception committees welcoming the dele gates. So that the grand encampment, the grand lodge and the Rebekah as sembly came to be regarded as almost a nuisance. But he put the proposition to the Commercial club in a way that seems most reasonable and should cause considerable stirring about among those who should interest themselves in such matters. He asked that the busi ness men of the city be asked to unite in insuring a certain amount for the de frayal of these expenses and thus make it pleasant, and indeed possible for the delegates to go before the meeting and ask that the next year it come to To peka. With such a slight effort it seems to be within the reach of this place to gather in ever so many more such events that do not come this way, that it is really shaming. Nowhere else is there a city which satisfies its visitors as does Topeka, It is easily to be reached by rail, and the attractions to citizens of the state and even from those abroad is something that can be depended upon as peren nially fresh. In return delegates of the Odd Fellows and of many others re ceive a per diem allowance of three dol lars daily, and this insures at least that much being spent in the meeting place. So that it foots up into a nice little aggregate and means much to the pres tige of the place commercially. There is no sense in allowing a con vention or gathering to be turned away from our door because the men who are to reap a dozen times what might ba reauired of them to bring It here, re fuse to pay. They should at once look into this matter and bring everything of the sort within or without Kansas to Topeka, in whom there is no fault unless possibly a light lethargy, which might easily be dispelled. NOT A RESCUE AGENCY. The management of the treasury, says the Omaha Bee, no matter of what party brand, has long been too much dominated by the superstition that the New York stock exchange represents the whole country and that when it puts forth signals of distress the secretary of the treasury must man a lifeboat for its "relief." Under the spell of this ven erable superstition the secretary of the treasury has thrown himself into the breach to satisfy the clamor of the stock jobbers for money to tide them over a threatened crash. The treasury department was not created or designed to be a "rescue" agency. The country was never more prosperous. Commerce and industry are active and profitable. The banks gen erally have an abundance of money and the credit of legitimate business Is not Impaired. Throughout the great inter ior the local banks are supplying funds for marketing crops, although of course for this purpose they are calling home a large part of their deposits in New York. In New York itself and through out the east trade and industry are on a solid basis. From Maine to California no farmer, no merchant, no manufac turer has called cut for treasury help or dreamed of doing so. The simple truth is that the trouble fh New York is confined to Wall street, and indeed to that part of Wall street which is concerned in stock jobbing and speculation, and not in legitimate busi ness and sound banking. The specula tors have been caught in their own trap They have overstrained their credit and absorbed too much of their own and other people's money in watered stocks. The New York banks have been guilty in encouraging a spirit of reckless speculation. INTERNAL COMMERCE FACTS. The summary of the internal trade moverrents for the current year ur to the month of August has just been completed by the treasury bureau cf statistics. Account is taken of rep resentative traffic operations in the in terior, on the great lakes, at the north Atlantic seaboird, on the ocean and gulf states, in the territory known as southern territory, on the Pacific coast, movements by rivers and canals, and special features of the coal, coke, pe troleum and phosphate trade. Reports from the interior give val uable indications of the tendency of commerce. In tne live stock trade, for instance, the receipts of horses and mules for the first eight months at five loading western markets prove to be the lightest for three years, 240.34S head having arrived to the end of August. 1002, and S01.7f6 head to the same date in 1901. and 21)0,160 head for the like period in 1900. Another suggestive movement is that of. f"eder stock from the two reporting markets of Kansa3 City and St. Jo-eph. These points show an increase of 7.23 per cent in the volume of demand for stocking purposes for the first eight months of the year: 529,458 head having been shipped and driven out, to August 31 this year, compared with 433,447 head last year. For the first thirty-five weeks of the current year the flour and grain ship ments from Chicago and Chicago points do not compare favorably with those of the corresponding period of 1901. This year to the end of August, 100,573 bar rels of flour and 1,423,000 bushels of grain were the weekly average ship ments, compared with 131,923 barrels of flour and 2,235,000 bushels of grain last year. Provisions averaged 24,676 tons per week for 1902, and 23,765 tons in 1901. On the great lakes the freight ton nage continues to exceed that of last season. During August last year, 6,790. 973 tons of freight were reported as re ceived at domestic ports. This year for the corresponding period, 6,984,763 tons of receipts were reported for 141 differ ent ports. The total of all classes of freight receipts In domestic trade on the lakes in 1901 to August 31 was 25,683,230 tons. For the like period of this year receipts were 32,703,539 tons. The regis tered tonnage moved thus far this sea son amounted to 46,635,085 tons, repre senting 49,769 vessels clearing, and 45.6S8.052 tons representing 49,155 ves sels arriving. BED WEL,'s7 EXPLANATION. During the early part of the week the state board of charities, or part thereof, conducted what was said to be an ex amination Into the character of the Bed well private, or quasi private. Insane asylum. The board eat without any power to compel the attendance of witnesses. It disregarded, as was its right, the cus tomary rules of evidence of law courts. It was, supposedly, endeavoring to get at the facts, to sift the great mass of charges against Bedwell's asylum and determine whether or not that Institu tion is a safe and decent p'ace to place the insane wards of the state. Mr. Bed well was not on tiral for any alleged criminal offense. It was simply a busi ness proposition, whether or not the board should continue to patronize Mr. Bedwell's institution, and aid him to make money out of the state patronage of his asylum. A witness was introduced who offered to testify under oath that she had seen a patient at the asylum beaten to death. What did the board of charaties do? It ruled without hesitation that this testi money should not be given, because, forsooth, the atrocious act was com mitted prior to May 15, 1901. Theoretically the position of the board may have been correct. On May 15, 1901, the board of charities was sup posed to have investigated the record of the Bedwell asylum up to that date, and to have issued it a license if It was deemed best. The board had no means f;r digging up the history of the Insti tution, and after demanding that cer tain improvements be made to the facil ities for keping patients issued the license. The board made a mistake when it issued the license. Now, however, the case Is different. There is plenty of evidence voluntarily offered by those who have no ulterior motives, that patients are cruelly abused and mistreated at Bedwell's asylum. But the board refuses to listen. It prefers to whitewash the rec ord of the unsavory place, and continue to dump into its custody the unfortunate persons for wom room can not be found in the state asylums. If we assume that the board of char ities Is honest, we must admit that it is unwise. It was given an opportunity to rid the community of a dark blot; to give relief from the stench of an expose which ocurs regularly every year or two. Instead of Improving the oppor tunity it has shut its eyes and refuses to make a fair and thorough examina tion. Even on the testimony which the board allowed itself to hear Bedwell should be refused a license to receive patients from the state. There is prac tically no doubt that old Jacob Kyner son was kicked and abused without mercy at the asylum, and whether or not his death a few days later was due to this, there is little question but what his injuries hastened his end. People of Topeka, who have known the history of Bedwell's asylum for the past eight or ten years, hope that the board of charities will do its duty and forever suppress this plague spot. FLOOD OF BOOKS. A bulletin of the books issued during one week by the larger publishing houses, shows the number to be 73, more than 12 a day for each working day in the week. The question which will certainly arise to the mind of one who stops to think of this is: how can there be such a demand for books. The list shows 15 books of fiction, 3 books of travel. 15 books for children. 2 school books and 36 under the heading miscellaneous. Doss the rjublic sit up nights to read books? If so manv books are to be printed ever:' week no wonder that some bad ones find their way into type. With 73 books a week issued it seems that most anyone will be able to break into the literary fold. No wonder Cyrus Townsend Brady turns out several books, numberless short stories, and sermons every year. He or some one else, has to keep the printers, book binders and nress men busy. JAYHAWKER JOTS. Pratt is to have a congealed aqua pura plant. A sheepman who lost a $100 watch at Goodland paid the finder a $20 bill. A patent honey vender gave Slk county citizens taffy and tTiey bit. Stacked hay is dry enough in Gray county to bum from engine sparks. Miss Hawks of Whitewater made a flying visit to El Dorado this week. Leavenworth has a private opium joint and a Chinaman is not conductni it either. Quite naturally the last dance at Lonesome Hollow, Riley county, wa"s poorly attended. The Tonganoxie Mirror lets the boys down easy. The editor will take wood on rubscrirtion. Soi ious rivals are a temperance re vival and a merry-go-round for Lakin's nicklos and dimes. An Olathe young woman will take Horace Greeley's advice and "go west" as far as Manila. After a year's search a Holton man has located a stolen team in the persim mon district of Arknsas. A double tailed rattlesnake was killed at Cimarron this week. A temperance levival has also started. Hutchinson s Commercial club is wrestling with the question of "What kind of street paving and when." A Lynn count:- butcher advertises "Try one of our boils." He has evident ly never read a certain chapter of Job, Independence councilmen weary of stumbling along through darkened streets has ordered the lights-turned on. The swell club of Goodland is the "Inter Sese." As P. P. Klder once re marked, "Them Words are Latin, Duke." A Winfield young married man who had laid aside his cast off bicycle for a certain event will have to trade it fot a tandem. An Elk Kails man served his neigh bors a scurvy trick by finding his own lost pocket book for which he had of fered $100 reward. Out in the shortgrass jungles a Pres ton man has lived within a score of miles of a missing sister for 18 years and failed to find it out. A Manhattan correspondent an nounces that the many friends of Miss Stewart will be glad to hear that she Is recovering slowly from a severe at tack of fever. The serious duty of the partisan newspaper these pleasant October days Is instructing their "slaves" how to vote. Simply place an X in the ring at the top and let it go at that. After 20 years' service with the Frisco, Section Foreman Reed of Pleasanton. has resigned. It would be interesting to know how many strokes of the pick and how many oaths he had delivered dur ing that period. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A decent amateur should in time be come a professional. We have noticed that some fast trains can't make their time. Was there ever a child that said "thank you" without being reminded of it? A great many who claim to love the Lord .think that one day in seven is enough for saying so. "I am glad," every one is saying of every one else, "that I haven't what he has on his conscience." When a man thinks he is pretty, he devotes a whole lot of time to looking at himself while combing his hair. "I- love no one but you this week." an Atchison lover wrote to his girl. "I don't know how it will be next week." When a lazy man goes into a saloon, and somebody sets up two or three drinks, he feels as industrious as any body. Nobody likes an overture very well, but band and orcestra leaders continue to play them, because it is customary. What has become of the old-fashioned person who said to a child that had fallen: "Come here, and I'll help you up?" So much Importance Is attached to it through life, that there Is some wonder the words. "Good Provider," don't ap pear on tombstones. i What is wanted above many other things is a good cook who can put gen ius into the making of hash, and lift it from the disrepute into which it has fallen. Somehow, after his first month's bills have come in, a newly married man suggests the unfortunate man who buys a horse, and the next day the price of feed goes up. The other morning, at 1 o'clock, a party of eight adults sat down to a "supper." They had been playing cards all night. "This," said one of the party, "is idiotic." And he told the truth. An Atchison man. when he has noth ing else to do, worries because he hasn't six fingers on his right hand. He has no use for the additional finger, but wurrjing aoout it gives him something to do. s QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It is well to let sleeninir noir.Q lip sleeping babies. When a woman is sneechless with mc-o the very angels tremble". A man doesn't need a watchdon- when the wolf is at the door. The fellow who lacks confidence 1 n him self can't inspire it in others. It isn't always the fellow of English descent who has the most pronounced ac cent.--- Nell Dressed up to kill, isn't she?" Belle "Yes; she's going out in an automo bile." The fact that women seldom mean what they say is exemplified by the cozy cor ner. The man with a cellar full of coal nat urally thinks he is a pretty warm proposi tion. It's perhaps a good thing that there are no mirrors in which we can see ourselves as others see us.. Silllctis "A pretty woman doesn't al ways wear well." Cynicus "No; beauty sometimes rubs off." With the closing of the baseball season the bleacherites have subsided, but thj peroxide blonde Is always with us. The business man who does his own typewriting is either an economical hus band or the victim of a jealous wife. 'I go where duty calls:" he said. Yet he wa3 no protector. For at the pier he wis, instead, A Custom House inspector. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Hermits are not the only torpid livers. Men are the architects of their own mis fortunes. For every wise thing In law some lawyer has a fool reason. The king can do no wrong if the other fellow has four aces. If dirt was worth $2 a load Chicago would have clean streets. Some people are of no more conseouence than a thermometer on a pleasant day. Fools never attempt to take care of their health until after it is gone. The man who makes useful sacrifices is able to dispense with useless ones. There are not as good fish in the sea as some people say they have caught. No, Cordelia, the porter on a sleeping car ipn't called a quartermaster, but he is. When time relegates an ugly piece of furniture to the antique class people rave over its beauty. There was only one Peter the Great which crops to show that history doesn't necessarily re-Pete itself. Good qualities that descend from father to son seem to grow weaker, while the bad ones always grow stronger. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The man who can povern himself can be goverred by his wife. It takes two to make up a quarrel and then they hate each other. The way for a man to manage his wife is to get himself absolutely under her con trol. It tskes a good woman to wonder how a chorus girl at $20 a week can afford to wear $20,XX) worth of jewels. The man who likes to get up early in the morning has an idea that the reason he isn't rich is because he is too honest. C. P. Bolmar and Captain J. G. Waters had a few moments to spare and they spent it in the county commissioner's of fice discussing politics. "When 1 go into the booth on election day with no one but God and my pencil with me, I shall vote as I please," said Bolmar. "It is my opinion that God would be In mighty small business going into an elec tion booth in Kansas," said Captain Wa ters. The meeting broke up.., Ui It seems to have been nothing short of malicious slander, this spreading o campaign thunder about two young men who are trying for a place in the Kansas legislature this winter. It is really high time that cleanliness in pol itics be a fact instead of fiction, for when young men who wish to secure a toga or a tojraree shy their castor or their pepper box into the ring it is a signal that their life past, present and future will be assailed by the cap sicum tipped tongues of scandal mon gers. What if J. B. Adams, "Bun" Aflame, as he is known along the Walnut, wishes to dip into society, has he not a right to? If this same "Bun" Adams, of El Dorado, wishes to be leader of a progressive buggy ride along the rural, moonlit lanes and byways of But ler county, can he not do it? Would the breath of scandal be wafted his way if he led a german instead of a pro gressive buggy ride? No! No! A thou sand noes and not an aye. Now this "Bun" Adams did this very thin. He was the driver of the front vehicle of a progressive buggy ride; at least It was the front vehicle for a time until he changed girls, got the one he wanted, and followed a stray hay wagon half the way to Cowley county. That wasn't his fault; it was the fault of the girl She was so entertaining, you know. And yet. this very girl, on ac count of her charms and because slit allowed her chevalier to follow a hay wagon, which of course tra'.'eled slow, and guided the horse in lieu of a direct ing pair of hands on the reins, yes this very girl may rob the hall of represen tatives of a budding sage of the new century. For now that Bun is in the heat of the campaign, this story is be ing told about him. Why? Because there was some jeal ous man in a rear buggy who at the next change probably wanted to ride with that girl. Now, should this man in the rear buggy stoop in the infamous political practice of allowing his per sonal reasons to make him a bitter po litical enemy of Bun? No, again we say no. What is that fellows wish to ride with the jjirl who rode with the man who drove the buggy that followed the hayrack that was headed for Cow ley county compared with the aspira tions of said man in the first buggy be hind the hayrack to shout "Air. Sneak er" at the top of his voice in Represen tative hall during the next session of the legislature. The comparison leaves the man who was in the second buggy with a mere bagatelle of condolence for his bereavement. And still, at every turn of the politi cal campaign in Butler county, so it is rumored. Bun Adams has to explain how a young man in the leading vehicle of a progressive buggy ride who could so far forget himself as to follow off a rumbling havrack could be entrusted with the hopes of Butler county in the struggles for appropriations, janitors, pages and door-keepers m the legisla ture. No one has advanced any author ity to show that progressive buere-v rid ing disqualifies anyone from being a representative. "Czar" Reed's rules do not touch on that momentious question. And still there seems to be some peo ple who doubt the ability of a man to legislate and follow off a havrack in a progressive buggy ride. But this slandering of aspirants to statesmanship does not stop in Butler county. In Shawnee county A. r Will iams would like to be a represenetative. There seems to be only one thing in his way. Not a buggy ride but ping pong. All peoole who enter public lite are li able to do something- that causes talk. This something may be pnywhere from accepting boodle in the sum of five fig ures or refusing to have a union man shingle his woodshed. And so it is with young Archie. He played ping pong in a six days' tournament go-as-you-please and now it is hinted and basely rumored that he would use the sneaker's desk in Repre sentative hall for a cine pong court. This political talk is said to have been started as a back nre on Williams po litical ambitions because he did not win in the ping pong tournament. The following is from a certain week ly Kansas paper, with the real name of the departed omitted as sne was not a willing party to the debt nor the din ner: "A CARD OF THANKS. "We, the members of the Rebekah lodge, wish to thank the people for the liberal manner in which they patronized our chicken pie dinner, which helped to defray all the funeral expenses of Sister Blank, and rid ourselves of a trouble some debt. By Order of Committee." To say the least, this small card ex plains all there is to be explained and if Sister Blank had known what a troublesome debt she was about to in cur she would undoubtedly have post poned her demise until the committee could have given a watermelon feast, which would be less expensive and al low a larger per cent of profit to go against that troublesome debt. It is certainly high time that an arbi tration board is formed. What is this country coming to with all this con stant banding together of different classes of toilers. The Kansas supreme court has just had the audacity to go on a strike. Why. even the mothers of this country have formed a union. What if they should go on a strike? That would be worse than the coal famine. The Bishops of the Episcopal church will meet in Philadelphia and again try to find a man who will be bishop of the lurisdiction of Salina. It has been of fered already to a man who didn't want it while a minister of the church who did want it has had no chance of re fusing it. The Western Union announced long ago that it could not deliver messages in Kan sas at the 15 cent rate established by the legislature. And still the surplus earnings of the company for the year past exceeded those of the year before by 4! per cent. The company managed during the year to reduce expenses over $300,000. It does seem strange, this statement that a 13 cent rate in Kansas would bankrupt the company. "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Jes sie Morrison has again been released from the penit miliary.

TOPEKA STATE JOOTINAJ,. SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 11, 1902. 13 AFilONGJHE BOOKS Oliver Horn, F. Hopkinson Smith's Latest Novel. Another Block in Foundation of Literary Success. STORY IS SOT FORCED. Evident That Author Wasn't Writing Against Time. The Book Will Well Kepay Any Reader. The Fortunes of Oliver Horn, by F. Hop kinson Smith. llluslrat.il hy Winter Appleton Clark. Charles Scribner's Sons, trice Si. 60. F. Hopkinson Smith, builder, authot and artist, has written "The Fortunes v sfrr Hit v..

F. Hopkinson Smith, Author of Oliver Horn" and builded the famous Race Hock Light house. He has done other things in both lines as well as in the fluid of art, but sufficient for com parison it present is the light house and the story. "Oliver Horn," coming so timely when there seems to be a superabundance of mediocre books, shines out from the reefs of criticism whereon so many un worthy efforts have been dashed, as brilliantly as shines the Race Rock Liht. One is to guide the mariner to a safe port. The other will be still an other sturdy, never crumbling block in the foundation of the literary success of the author, a success which serves as a beacon light to attract readers to a book that is sure to be good. F. Hop kinson Smith brooks no failures as a builder of li'ht houses nor as the writer of books. Nothing seems to go from his hand that is not well done. One who has read the blood curdling, Improvable and nonsensical stories of "the grent southwest" or has waded through the slang and impossibilities of the Waldorf-Astoria millionaires, will find Mr. Smith's new story a rest cure for shattered nerves. And why? Be cause it is written as the author writes all his charming books and stories. Not ugainst time, for some certain sum and with an unrestrained desire to hasten a book and an author's name into shop windows. Not any of that in "Oliver Horn." The story is not forced. It is as spontaneous as the eestacies of "Marse Ollie" and as simple, and pleas ing as the quaint old southern parents Of the hero. In his story "Caleb West" Mr. Smith brought into the chanters some of hi: experiences as a builder. In "Oliver Horn" he has let his artist life dominate the pages. He has taken the hero, a young man from Kennedy Square.' to New York, with a mother's love, the de file to be an artist and with nothing else but determination. He has chron icled the struggles to be met by anvone In a similar position. His hero, unso phisticated as to city ways of the north now and then, as the author sa-s. had "another little prejudice toppled from its pedestal, another household tradi tion of Oliver's smashed into a thousand pieces at his feet! This rubbing and grinding process of man against man; this seeing with one's own eyes and not by another's, was fast rounding out ami perfecting the Impressionable clay cf our young gentleman's mind." How carefully the author takes his hero from the dreamy life of the sou in to the reality of living in the north, for this was before the war when the south ern gentleman of the old school the ideal life arranged for him by the tradi tions of his lccailt:-. The readers mind is at rest before the first chapter of the book is read. There is no danger that there is to be anything improbable, any thing to jnr nor anythirg to disappoint. The author is content to iut in ivint his ideas, his beliefs ana" 'ois experiences. When he has finished with one idea or one reminiscense there is but a space to show the reader that the author has bad his flins. Th-re is so much in the story that can be described only by call ing it charming. The reveries called forth by the particular acts or situation of the hero are undoubtedly bits from life. From Mr. Smith's life. They must be. The trick of the author's pen can turn no such pleasantries unless t'ler be a reason. After speaking of Oliver's first love ;:fairs comes the rp rn girt t h "Sweet girls of the days gone bv. whe.t crimes you have to answer for! At least one of you must remember how my thumb v as cut rto sl-'ts over these same chf rry stones, and why tb- F-nds of your ringlets were tucked away in a miniature box in my drawer, with the pressed flowers and signet ring, and the rest of it. And you could if you nould recall a waiting promise made to me years ago. And the wedding! Surely you have not forgotten that. I was there, you remember but not as the groom." Who was the girl? She must have been. There must have been cherry stones, ringlets, pressed flowers and all. There is no mistaking that the Bo hemia of the book is from the real Bohemia of New York. The .names in some cases, of course, are changed. But there is the Tile club, Pfaff's, with the beer and all, the artists, writers and musicians. The tiles, the sketches on the wails, the smoke, and above all the spirit of camaraderie are in the story, and thev are brouarht there by the au thor right from life. And the men of the Tile club are in the story. Which one is "Oliver Horn" may be disputed, but he can be chosen from among the honored members. There Is no mistak ing that Mr. Smith himself is there, as well as Swain Gifford, Edwin A. Abbey, Klihu Vedder, Frank DeMillet, Fred erick Dielman and other celebrities. And so the story has been written by one with the time, the inclination and the spirit to make the Tile club, the blue-clouded Bohemia of artists' life, and the struggles of a beginner, the basis of what is more or less a biog raphy, interpolated here and there with reveries and woven round and about a romance, for of course there is a love affair to be counted as one of "The For tunes of Oliver Horn." a o" "Fortunes of Oliver Horn." LITERARY OUTLOOK. New Comparative Literature Publica tionDeath of Brandur Magazine. Irtell igene cnnifs to me at the moment of writing this letter of a new magazine, the first number of which is to appear on the first of January. It is a quarterly Journal of Comparative Literary studi-s in America and Europe. It will be based primarily upon the deportments of com parative literature at Columbia and Har vard. Prof. G. K. Woodherrv rnd Dr. J. K. Spingarn of the former institution and t'rnf. J. K. Fletcher of the latter. cull?t nrating In -ts editorial management. A verv impressive array of foreign profes ror have promised their active support. The list of universities represented bv them includes those of Zurich. Berlin. Paris. lnnslnirk, Padua. Copenhagen, Turin, Florence. Edinboro. Naples and H( id. lberg. Truly a cosmopolitan gather ing justifving the claims on the part of the editors thr.t It is "the moit cosmopol itan .journal ever planned!" Among those for.-ign collaborators In the enterprise ap pears the rt-me of J. J. Jussernnd, the new French embassador at Washington, whi) comes from Copenhagen to replace Monsieur Cambon. Jusserand is the lead ing French authority on English litera ture. His best known work in this coun try is one t.ow used in all colleges, on the Er-lish novel. There seems to be some doubt as to what the term comparative literature means and it has come in for its share of newspaper ridicule on the supposition that it meant comparison of individual auth ors, as for example Winston Churchill nnd Mary Johnston for the purpose of determ ining their relative literary merits. Com parative literature, however, as it i to he dealt with in the Journal, deals with races rather than with individuals, taking the broadest possible view of literature as a comparison of peoples and seeking to find in all the literatures of Europe the varied but essentially common voice of a single rare and a single civilization. The value of such a civilization is to broaden our sense of literary brotherhood so that r.n r.ngnsnman or American may feel a pride and a sense of personal possession not rr ly in Shakespeare, but in Cervantes, Ari osto ar.d Moliere. Put this is not the only magazine item of interest. Another concerns itself with a eertain short-lived publication called i ne t-.ranc.irr magazine, a weeKiy, de voted to stories and short articles. The name of its rrnprietor, Orlando J. Smith, the president of the American Press as.se-" eiatinn. created confidence in the success of the venture anionic newspaper and mag azine people generally, while the promise of three cents a word for all eontrioutions, a rate which was advertised as being the largest paid by any magazine in the world, must have created a kindly feelin;? in clrub Street. In spite, however, of ail good omen.-, "The Brandur Magazine" did not survive Its third number and now makts one more of that company of mul titudinous magazines, some clever and pome mediocre, that have come and gone in the last few years. The underlying principle in modern life hading to such an over-population of the magazine world is hard to determine. Th promoters of these ephemeral publications seem to be actuated about equally by mo tives of money making and virtuous zeal for literary reform. Each magazine prom ires in a vague- way to he more literary and to print better articles than its pred ecessors. This note of literary superior ity is especially strong in the announcement of the new magazine entitled "The Read er." edited bv Mr. Cnpeland. formerly of Cope land Day, publishers, and Mr. Ke nealy, formerly connected with the house of John Une in this ritv. "The Rcad.'r" announces authoritatively that it is the literary maa-azine for which America h so long waited. The Atlantic Monthly will please take notice, and if there is any place more remote from the literary cen ter of this country than that city which u-ed formerly to be called the Athens of America and the Hub of the Universe, it had best retire to it in time. Put these are prettv rchemrs end ru mors with which I have been dealing. Thre ;s em the horizon a heavy cloud and a distant rumbling Is borne in on mv ear. The word Trust hated Shibboleth of mod ern commercialism, has more lhan once been mentioned in connection with books, but not till now has it entered into th. 1 realm of magazinedom. Now, however, I hear of the preliminary Morganesque oper ations of a certain prominent New York publisher of books of a monthly magazine MT-lfJ ill..., .1 ihuimi caitru iiewBpayr anei tim er periodicals, who, it is said, contemplates nnjiiicieioii tn an magazines not already connected with publishing houses and running them from a single central management. Here is a. hard luck storv from thcriub bshers of The Two Vanrevels which which throws a little light on the difficul ties of getting out a big edition: Some of the difficulties of book making, of which the reading public never hear, are exemplified in the casi of Booth Tar kington's new novel, "The Two Vanrev els," the advance demand for which has almost swamped the publishers. In the first place the cover of the hook requires w, irai. v an ine maKing or tne nrst 25.0110 the cream leaf market began to run Short Appnti. nt-m By the time 35.000 copies were completed there was no high grade cream leaf left In America. Germany was appealed to by cable, but there is a shortage, cf cream leaf there also, and several thousand copies of the hook had tc be sent out stamped with white leaf. Then there was difficulty about the gilding. Expert gil ders are becoming rare. High class gilt is scarce. The publishers put out the books to one .gilder after another until there, are now five gilding shops busy with "The Two Vanrevels." and two binderies at work on it, and the supplv is still 20,000 behind the orders. Roused Into rivalry by5 the Variorum Edition of Fitzgerald, another company now announces a complete edition of the works of the translator of Calderon and Omar. Fitzgerald has hail a lather one sided reputation in connection with a sin ble book so it is a matter of congratula tion that through editions like these his fame will be now soundly based on other things as good in their way as his pop ular masterpiece. While ,'T.ady Rose's daughter" is run ning in magazine serial form its author, Mrs. Humphrey Ward is preparing the dramatic version of her "Eleanor" for th stage in London and New York. Here in America Eleanor Robson wil create the title role. I have not yet had the opportunity to read George Morton's last novel, "The Long, Straight Road." but some of the au thor's friends tell me that it is a story of his own domestic affairs and life. Wrhether the reading public is interested in the ashes and embers of -Mr. Hcrton'3 lift. is. of course, a ejuestion, but the story Is something more than a raking over of old fires. In the words of the penny drenel fid barker, here hi a story whicn gives the lights and shades of life in a great city, written with an uneiers landing which gives it the stamp of truth. Richard Harding Davis has Just pur chased a 200 acre estate near Mount Kteco, about thirty miles north of New York city, and here he plans a magnificent country home surrounded by a vire and fix trt e of harmonious proportions. A trout stream and an artificial lake well stocked with fish, a golf course and tennis courts are included in the rehemo of enjoyment. And all these ex;en:sc-s are to be covered by the royalties from Mr. Davis' last book. "Captain Macklin." Great and small news events have al ways been fruitful sources of plots for the novelists and just at present there are sev eral writers busy on stories which treat of timely topics. The coal srrilce has started several novelists on the industrial story: the Humbert swindle in Paris has revivified the robbery and detective tales; the municipal corruption in St. Louis has furnished material and plot to the novel ists of social and civic reform. We may look for an increase of highly imaginative romances next spring ard the stran.Q fart about them will be that the incidents and truths from which the tales were taken will be more remarkable even than the rrtorles. We used to think, for example, that Du mas' "Count of Monte Christo" was th.? most improbable story we read it because it was so like a fairy tale, a few million francs a year seemed utterly irriposibb as a private fortune. A novel written about the life of a modern Onus would make Dumas look like a writer of primers for the kindergarten classes. HERBERT BREWSTER, BOOK N0TE3. Various Items About Books Which Are cAttatring Attention. Little. Brown Company's Septem ber publications include a powerful nov el of ancient Egypt, "'The Pharaoh and the Priest," from the Polish of Alexan der Glovatski, translated by Jeremiah Curtin; "The Queen of Quclparte," a romance of the Far East by Archer Butler Hulbert; "The Shadow of the Czar," the romantic adventures of Prin cess Barbara of Czernova, by John R Carling; "Glimpses of California and the Missions," a new edition of Helen Hunt Jackson's California articles; new editions of Hamerton's "Etchings and Etchers," and Hedge's "Hours with German Classics: "also the following new juveniles: "Nathalie's Chum." by Anna Chapin Ray, author of "Teddy: Her Book;" "Foxy the Faithful," by Lily F. Wesselhoeft. author of "Spar row the Tramp;" "On Guard! Against Tory and Tarleton," by John Treston True, author of "Morgan's Men;" "Catharine's Proxy." a story of school girl life, by Myra Sawyer Hamlin; and "Grandma's Girls," by Helen Morris, a new juvenile author. Hnder the title "With the Attacking Fleet: A Story of the Gr--r:t War Game" Mr. James Barnes describes, in the Oct ober magazine number of The Outlook, what happened on board ship during the recent maneuveres near the en trance to Long Island Sound. Mr. Barnes, who has written more than one book relating to early American naval history, had the advantage of witness ing the great marine sight from the deck of the splendid new warship, "Al abama." He was authorized by the war department to sail on this ship cs a special representative of The Outlook. His article is full of brilliant and pic turesque narrative passages, and is the first real attempt to treat this subiect in what may be called a literary way. The James K. Hackett edition of The Crisis is to be presented in a new dec orative cover and on larger paper with bordered pages, together with some eighteen full-page reproductions of the best scenes from the stage, and the por traits of the principal actors and act resses. The frontispiece will contain the latest portrait of Mr. Hackett. It will make an exc?Ilent souvenir of the play and is an attractive form in which to keep the story itself, or it may well be used as a holiday gift book. The first Bible printed in America was made for the benefit of the Indians. It was Eliot's translation, and was issued at Cambridge. Mass., in 16f-3. The Germans had the benefit of the next Bible, which was printed in their language at German town, Fa., by Christopher Sauer, in 1743. So the Indians and Germans were sup plied first, and It was not until 17R2, ac cording to Harper's Encyclopaedia of United States History, that Robert Aitkin, a printer and bookseller of Philadelphia, published the first American edition of the Bible in English. This was in quarto form. The first folio form in English was printed at Worcester. Mass., in 1791, and bears the Imprint of Isaiah Thomas. Dr. Henry Van Dyke builded better than he knew when he wrote "The Story of the Other Wise Man." -Harper Brothers state that their sales of this famous book were greater last year than ever before since its publication, but that this year they have doubled those of 1901 and the holiday demand is only just beginning. The story Is issued in several different editions, has been translated into various foreign languages, and is one of the most widely read books of the day. In a notice of a volume of verse by' a local writer a rural editor says: "The poems seem to have the right jingle at the proper end." Atlanta Constitution. EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Wrhen Kansas became a state there was much discus sion over admitting women citizens to the enjoyment of a citizen's privileges. But they were refused. At the election of 1S7S there were two amendments pending, one to enfran chise the negro, one to enfranchise wo men. The national constitution does not disfranchise either! At this election 11.000 men voted to enfranchise women and a few more to enfranchise the ne gro, but neither had sufficient votes to carry the amendment. However, the negro voted at the next election. n 1S87 the Kansas legislature gave women municipal suffrage. This, how ever, does not effect women- who live in the country. The legislature of 1892 submitted an amendment to enfranchise women. This came to a vote the year of 1894. What Kansan does not remember the inten sity of that campaign! Party feeling ran as high as in 1?61 and yet more than 9r,,000 men voted for the amendment; however, not- -enough to carry it, but sufficient to indicate the growth of sen timent. The last legislature took up the mat ter of presidential suffrage, which can come as did municipal suffrage. This bill passed the senate, but not without a hard fight; but next day, after vain atempts to secure assurance that it would be killed in the house, the senate reconsidered and defeated it. "because it would, come up in the fall campaign of 1902." The prospects are that it will come before Ahe 1303 legislature. There are many more men in Kansas than wo men, and it would seem that their gen erosity would lead them to recognize the right of citizenship of so many loyal women. We urge you to attend the convention. Hear Mr. Blackwell and Mrs. Catt and the others who will par ticipate. Kansas has not yet reached perfection, though she is on the way. Neither do the present voters keep themselves so free from governmental mistakes as to point to Kansas women as unfit to perform the task of law making. The convention opens at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in the house of representatives, where all cf its ses sions will be held except the last one, Wednesday night, which will be in the AudUorium. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is serving her third term as president of the Na tional Woman Suffrage association. So able had she proven herself that Miss Anthony felt, at the time her mantle fell upon Mrs. Catfs shoulders, that she had a worthy successor. Mrs. Catt had been head and body of the organization com mittee for several years, and had there conducted an immense work, exhibiting such fine executive ability that the suf fragists of the United States were quite unanimous in the opinion that Mrs. Catt was the woman best fitted to occupy the presidential chair after Miss Anthony had determined to resign the office. The headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage association are in New York city, 200S American Tract society building. Here the secre tary rot the association. Miss Kate Gor don, of New Orleans, with Mrs. Catt's private secretary and a host of clerks and typewriters, conducts the business of the association under Mrs. Catt's supervision. Mrs. Catt's oratorical powers are eeiual to her executive ability, a combination rare in men or women. She is a clear, forceful, impressive sperer. depending for her success, not upon tricks of ora tory, but Upon sound thought, profound argument and exquisite English. She is of a charming personality, and is a gra cious and womanly woman withal. Wrhen Mrs. Catt was Carrie Lane her home was in Iowa, where she graduated, became a teacher, and soon principal of a public school in a county seat of that state, and later assisted, in editing and publishing a countv paper. Those who know Mrs. Catt declare that she was born with so rtrong a sense of justice and fair play and so much self-respect that she could not be other than a suffragist and an expounder of the faith. So. while she might be enjoying the so cial whirl, or European travel, or oth"r self-indulgence, she has elected herself to bard wort: for the ballot for women. In this ouest she has been heard before legislatures of state north and south and in every territory except Alaska. She was married to Mr. Catt in He is president and manager of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Dredging company. This company has the government contract for dredging in the Philippines. They have a beautiful home at Pnsonhurst-by-the-Sea. a suburb of New York. It seems al most too much to say that Mrs. Can adds to the above mentioned fine powers the accomplishment of a first class house keeper, and when she wearies of affairs of state, finds pleasure in demonstrating that she can set a house in order and pre pare a dinner that would call cut the praise of an epicure; but this is neverthe less a fact. If people would save up all they arc saying about coal and put the language in the furnace It would be hot enough. Bal timore News. 4

14 TOPEKA STATS JOURNAL,, SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 11, 1903. SHOT FOR BAER. Coal Czar Finds a Match in Governor Odell. Tells Executive Wont Permit Interference of Politicians. EOT RECOGNIZE UNIONS Governor Tells Him Miners Ask Only What Is Fair. Have as Much Right to Com bine as Operators. New- York, Oct. 11. "What do you mean by politicians? I want you and all the other operators to understand that I am the governor of New York, the chosen representative of 7 million people, and that I am here in this mat ter solely in that capacity and to re lieve, if possible, an intolerable situa tion. And. what is more. I intend to use every power at my command to do It." Governor Odell made this statement last evening to President Baer of the Reading road in the presence of United States Senators Piatt of New York and Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania. It was the culmination of a rather heated Interview in the office of Senator Piatt and the result of this meeting between Governor Odell and President Baer. Mr. Baer was not in the best of hu mor when, accompanied by F. B. Thom as, chairman of the board of directors of the Erie railroad, he entered Senator Piatt's office. The conference was be gun by a statement made by Senator Penrose that the situation was becom ing so -serious that some solution must be found at once. He suggested that the operators should incline to some concessions toward a settlement. "If you mean by that," said President Baer, "that we are to recognize the ex istence of a labor union, I tell you right now that the operators will consider no Euch proposition." Governor Odell was on his feet in an Instant. Holding a half burnt cigar in his hand and white with excitement, he Raid: "Are we to understand that no kind of a conciliatory proposition will receive consideration at the hands of the operators?" "I did not say that," answered Mr. Baer, "but I do say, and I reiterate it, that we will not accept political advice or allow the interference of politicians in this, our affair." Then it was that Governor Odell made the statement attributed to him at the beginning of this article. President Baer, evidently appreciating that he had gom? too far, bowed to Governor Odell and said: "Governor, I beg your pardon. No personal affront was in tended, and we will listen to any sug gestions you may have to make; but again I repeat that we must refuse to recognize the union as represented by Mr. Mitchell." "I believe," said the governor, "that your position from a public view is ab solutely untenable. If coal operators, railroad men and other business men can combine for mutual profit and pro tection, there is no reason why laboring men should not." "What is the proposition?" said Mr. Baer, coldly. "Just this," said Governor Odell. "I am sure that the labor organization of which Mr. Mitchell is head desires him to be fair with the general public. If the operators will consent to give the men five cents a ton increase I will per conally present it to the miners, and I believe they will accept it. It is a fair proposition." "Does this mean. Governor Odell, tha we are to recognize the miners' union?" Mr. Baer asked. "It certainly does," answered Gover nor Odell quickly, "and there is no rea Bon why you should not." Mr. Baer and Mr. Thomas rose to go, Mr. Thomas remarking that the matter would be presented to the other opera tors and that an early answer would be forthcoming. Mr. Baer said: "We are to meet a committee of the Manufac turers' association on Tuesday and we day have an answer then." The conference broke up, Mr. Baer end Mr. Thomas withdrawing. Senator Piatt, Senator Penrose and Senator Quay talked over the matter a short time, and then they too separated, the two Pennsylvanians announcing that they would go back to Harris'ourg and olscuss the situation with Governor Btone. Governor Odell was not in a talking mood when he left the conference. He went directly to the Fifth Avenue ho tel, and during most of the afternoon received callers. Mayor Low. Anson G. McCook, Kdward Lauterbach, Congress men Lessles and Littauer and Senator Piatt were amonjr his callers. To one BOt TT LiSTEM To what people say when they would discourage your hope of exchanging womanly weakness and sickness for per fect health. Women who have been invalids for years, scarcely able to be up nan me time, ana the other half of their time spent in bed, have been made healthy, hearty women by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It cures the womanly diseases which un dermine the strength. It es tablishes regular ity, dries weaken ing drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weak ness.

He was immediately taken in hand by interviewers but he steadfastly declined to talk of his New York trip for publication. In answer to a question why he should maintain such extreme reticence regarding his visit, he said: "I think the best interests of the oper ators, the miners and the public will be subserved by my lemaining silent." Mr. Mitchell's attention was tailed to the letter of Vice President Wilcox o;" the Delaware Hudson comnany. to President Roosevelt, in which he main tains that the nvners' union is an illegal organization. The strike leader hesi tated to say anything for a moment, and then re;ilied: "The miners' union is organized along the same lines as all the labor unions in the country. If the miners' organization is iliesal, so are the others; and I say our union is not illegal." This is the extent of Mr. Mitchell's talk to the press representatives this morning. All efforts to draw him out on any other ouestion was a failure. Mr. Mitchell had an engagement in Bos ton tomorrow, but he was compelled to day to cancel it owing to a pressure of business here. There was a rumor that President Mitchell would go to Wash ington, but he denied it. The leaders of the strikers are now look ing to the American Federation of Labor to help them in their fight. The federation has a membership of nearly 2,060,000 and its purpose is to assist organized labor generally. The minors' union is the strong est trade in thr.t organization and they now feel that the federation should come out and take an open active interest in the struggle. There is a report here that this will be done in the form of an appeal for assistance to all the labor organiza tions in the country. DYNAMITE IS USED. Pottsville, Pa.. Oct. 11. The house of Albert Brey, a Philadelphia Reading Coal and Iron deputy near Minersville, was dynamited about midnight and his daughter was injured. A neighbor named Ditzell and two others are held under suspicion. SHOT AT OFFICERS. Mount Carmel, Pa.. Oct. 11. Early to day persons on a hill close to the Six teenth regiment encampment began hurling rocks and discharging revolvers at the officers' quarters. After half a dozen bullets fell into camp Lieutenant Colonel Richards and forty line and staff officers who had been apprised that an attack was to be made on the camp left their quarters and ran in the direction the firing came from. The of ficers shot several times ahead of them but at daybreak no signs of the soldiers' assailants were found. NO SHIP SUBSIDY. National Farmers Congress Re fuses to Endorse the Measure. Macon, Ga., Oct. 11. At the last day's session of the National Farmer's con gress, the committee on resolutions re ported unfavorably a resolution that la bor unions should not attempt to pre vent nonunion men from working at wages which they themselves refuse. A persistent attempt was made to in duce the congress to rescind its action of 1901 and endorse the ship subsidy bill. The delegates from the west, reinforced by those from the south, sustained the adverse report of the committee on res olutions and the resolution of endorse ment was laid on the table by an over whelming majority. Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Richmond, Va., Denver, and Rock Island want the congress in 1903. The local convention will be fixed by the legislative commit tee. During the afternoon session Mr. John M. Stahl of Chicago, spoke of "The La bor Problem From the Farmers' Stand point." He said in part: One of the most annoying, difficult and vital problems of farming is to get a sufficient supply of good labor. Farmers could hardly pay higher wages. But to a very small degree is a question is more wages. The lonliness of farm life that has been so powerful in taking farmer boys from the farm and in keeping city laborers from it is fast passing away before rural free mail delivery, the farm telephone and the country trolley line. If by education and a proper appreci ation of our calling, the introduction of business methods, we put farming on the same plane as other business enter prises, we can command for it our right ful share of the faithful, intelligent la bor that now goes to railroading, manu facturing and merchandising. This will come to pass all the sooner, because the future will see many wo men farmers. It is already fashionable for girls to be strong and muscular and athletic and sunburned. In farm work so much machinery is used nowadays that the greater part of farm work on the up-to-date farm requires intelli gence and dexterity and application rather than muscular strength. Very much farm work is no more tiring on the muscles than operating a type writer; it is much less wearing on the nervous system and it is certainly much more healthful. Woman has taken man's place to a large extent in the schoolroom, the store, the office, even the pulpit and the courts; why not on the farm? The past harvest quite a number of women worked in the fields and likerl it. There are now some very successful women farmers. The farm er may much indeed prefer seeing his daughter helping him in the field, oper ating the mower or the harvester, or hay rake, or corn planter than tempt ing fate amid the artificial, unwhole some and dangerous conditions of the city. A very good way to equalize the labor supply of the city and country would be to equalize taxation and also the ex penditure of taxes. The big public building and the tax dodger are charac teristic of the city and not of the farm. In time, and perhaps not long, cheap transportation between city and farm as by trolley lines, will bring to labor on our farms those that mu?t have the glitter and excitement of the city in their lives. We expend nine-tenths of our energy in making laws and one-tenth in en forcing them. We must reverse that for a time. We have too many laws and too little regard for them. Our hope lie3 in fewer laws, only wise laws, and those relentlessly executed. REQUEST IS WITHDRAWN. Orchard Place Won't Tap Sewer Dis trict 14. So much opposition has developed to the request of the owners of Orchard Place for permission to attach sewer laterals to Sewer No. 14 that the request will be withdrawn from the considera tion of the city council. The members of the committee on sewers have been so informed, and no action on the peti tion is contemplated. People living in the vicinity of Or chard Place who helped pay for Sewer 14 are at the bottom of the opposi tion. They assert that it is an attempt to secure a complete sewer system for Orchard Place at very small expense. SLAIN BYBURGLAR A. B. Ghinn, Prominent Lexing ton Man, Murdered. His Son Asa Is Probably Fatally Wounded. KILLED IN BEDROOM. Young Man Heard Noise and Went to llescue. Head Man Was a Prominent Business Man. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 11. A. B. Chinn of the firm of Chinn Todd, dry goods merchants in this city, one of the most prominent business men and Confeder ate soldiers in Kentucky, was shot to death by two masked burglars early to day in his bedroom at his home in this city. his son, Asa, who heard the noise, rushed to his farther's rescue and open ed fire on the burglars through a. closed door with a rifle. The burglars return ed the fire and Asa is probably fatally wounded. Citizens and police are searching for the murderers, but no clew has yet been found. POLITICAL GOSSIP. (Continued from First Page.) papers are producing columns of edi torials denouncing the fusionists for try ing to elect a man for sovernor who swindled a poor woman out of $550, but are not cheeping about the fact that there is a man running on the Repub lican ticket for state treasurer who is a defaulter to the, sum of $1,32S. Now the Recorder believes that a man who would cheat a poor widow out of $550. by lying and deception, ought in justice to be sent to the penitentiary rather than be elected governor or elect ed or appointed to any other responsible ofhee, but at the same time it believes that "what is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander, and that Republican papers cannot afford to be inconsistent. 'The Democrats have this advantage of the Republicans. They can explain that they knew Mr. Craddock never had the ghost of a show to be elected any way, and that an empty nomination go- r to a bad Democrat was not nearly so serious as the nomination of a bad Republican wnose nomination was thought to be equivalent to an election. If the fusionists should happen to elect their state ticket, the men who have been doing the work will probably be promptly provided for. Chairman Babb, it is said, will succeed Henry Allen as chairman of the state board of charities. Secretary McCrum, of the Democratic committee, may be taken care of on the same board. These places pay Ji.uoo a year. John Curran isn L saying so, but he would like to be sec retary to the governor for about two years at $2,000 per year. J. M. Senter, who has one of the hardest Jobs of all. that of managing the speakers' bureau, would very likely be given Jim Fike's place on the railroad board. There is little to do and the place pays $2,500 a year. Besides Senter was formerly sec retary of the old board of railroad com missioners and knows a'.', about the business of the commission. The fu sionists have more show to elect the legislature than they have of electing their state ticket, and if they do Grant, Harrington will doubtless be state printer. A careful perusal- of Barney Sheri dan's Paola Spirit fails to show any re traction of what he said about Henry Allen last week. The filing of Allen's libel suit will now be looked for. Whether it will be a criminal or civil procedure is not known. The Lawrence World commenting on the Allen-Sheridan matter says: "Newspaper warfare can be taken too far. Barney Sheridan accuses Henry Allen of being a grafter on state con tracts and Allen is going to sue for libel. Allen is right. No man has a right to maliciously attack the charac ter of another even for political ends. Mr. Allen is a young man of whom the entire state is proud. He has made a record above reproach and has taken particular pride in the fact that it has been clean. The Republican party, the state of Kansas, needs just such a man and some of these days the Second dis trict is going to send him to congress.

Football Team Strengthened for Todays K. IT. Game. Washburn rooters expect their team to win the game against thei State university which is being played at, Lawrence this afternoon. This may sound queer in view of the discouraging experiences of the team so far this season, jfcut it must be admitted that within the last 24 hours Washburn stock has tak r a big boom. "Washburn people are evidently in earn est when they say that they lire willing to "oack their team at even montv aerainst Iawrence. and yet it seems very improba ble tnat tne lopeMa uoys can win. wnsn h urn's hopes wliieh were alm:-t crushed Thursday when Pierre Andtrson was call ed home by the death of his father, sailed skyward Friday- when a deal was made with the Kansas Medics, ihe nudicnl 1e partment of Washburn, by which the teams will combine forces for their heavy ganus.

Jenkir.srm Algie and Love are n suffering from inhiries and may be unable to play. With those formidable men out of the game, Washburn might stand a good show to win. However, such reports just before a game are characteristic of tootonii contests, ana can c uiways oe ce prnded upon. The Washburn team will line up this af ternoon as follows: Center. Steele; right guard. Haynes: left guard. Brown or Hill right tackle, Cunningham; left tackle. C-iU right ena, su wart; icit enn, mux well; quarter. Smith; right half.

Oct. 11. Wheat opened easy with light trading. Weakness in corn and favorable weather In the whtat section of the country were bearish influences. Light receipts with extremely poor grading help ed to support the prices. December open ed ?7c lower at tS)ri69e. Later there was fair buying on predictions of- rain which caused a slight rally, sales being mane at iO&c. .Minneapolis ana uuiutn re ported receipts of 847 cars, which with local receipts of 111 cars, made total re ceipts for the three points of 958 cars, auist ail cars last week and boi cars a year ago.

A large cron yield as shown bv the gov ernment report together with prospects of a neavy movement caused a weak opening in corn.

With prospects of quite general rains within the next 48 nour. a lively demand developed and there was a rally to 47Tio. December corn sold ud to 4741 4S and the close was a shade higher at 47&47e.

This new fashion of concealing things usual ly hidden is said to be very disconcert ing to simple country folk used to see ing, except on the staKe. no more than the mere frlimpse of a woman's ankle afforded by the jaunty rainy day skirt. But since the Gothamites have put the stamp of approval upon the new fashion no doubt westerners will not long be deprived of the privileges and advan V tages now enjoyed by New Tork people and the stranger within their gates. Just how the new fashion originated is something of a mystery, although several explanations have been offered. Some say it is an echo of the summer outing, of tramps over country fields where it is necessary to lift the skirts high over brambles and bushes, of mountain climbing, or of the golf links which was credited, with that universal custom of a year ago of rolling the sleeves to the elbows on any and all occasions. Others say it is merely an extension of the rainy day idea, but as the fashion obtains in dry as well as wet weather and on clean the same as muddy crossings this hardly seems a satisfactory explanation. Probably the most plausible theory advanced recalls the fashion budgets which have had so much to sav about the splendor of the "new art" hosiery, all lace work and embroidery with the mcnoeram of the wearer at the knee. May the new mode of lilting the skirts not be simply an evidence of the altruistic desire of the possessor of such magnificence to share it with the rest of the world and in par ticular with Mere Man in whose philos ophy, otherwise such glories might be undreampt of? The fashionable New York maiden who raises her silken and beruffled petticoats to but such a situation may not be reduced to a mere matter of feet and inches say, to a height hitherto considered somewhat unconventional, to sa:' the least, is merely trying in a humble and earnest spirit of philanthropy to share her good things with less favored people. ignorance of the display she was mak ing. I was just debating whether it would be presumptuous and ridiculous for me to go to her and tell her about it when along came four other women in a strinsr each with her petticoats pulled uo around her and held so high on the right side that well, no matter what, but I saw that it was too pro miscuous to be a coincidence and I had to resign myself to an acceptance of the fact that I am a hopeless 'jay.' "It seems to me sometimes." said a well known Topeka club woman the other day,' speaking of the October meeting of the city federation at the high school last week, "that Kansas women are crazy on the subject of do mestic science and manual training. I've heard it talked at. every woman's meeting I've attended for the last year at the state federation meetings and the city federation meetings, and the Woman's Press club meeting; in short, everywhere, and I've heard it proposed as the sure cure of every social evil un der the sun. Of course I'm interested in domestic science and 'manual training, and am in favor of having them in cluded in the public school curriculum. but I don't believe it will prove a uni versal panacea. Miss Mabel Hillis, who is a graduate of this Mr. Perky's school at Worcester, Mass., and who is now teaching domestic science in the public schools of Pittsburg, Pa., was telling me about her work v.hen she was at home last winter. The school where she teaches is in one of the poorest parts of the city, and the domestic science which she is obliged to teach in order to meet the conditions in the homes of the pupils is of a very primitive kind. She has to take into consideration the re ligious customs of the people, who are Jews, and therefore can't use lard, and their poverty which prevents them buy ing butter or cream. They use little meat, and only the cheapest cuts, and altogether it seems to me that it would require almost superhuman ingenuity to make an attractive menu even with the aid of domestic science for a family in these circumstances. Manual train insr and domestic science and those new educational fads are all right, but they won't cure poverty. Even more impor tant than knowing how to cook is to have, something to cook. Isn't it?" "Yes." said a listener, "but Topeka women want domestic science taught in the schools here, where we haven t any slums and where the trouble isn't that people haven't enough to cook but that they don't know the most wholesome and most appetizing way of preparing their food. There isn't anyone in Kan sas who hasn't enough to eat." Are we sure of that? asked the ciuo woman seriously. "I often think that we know little enough of how the 'other half lives, even in Topeka, where there seems plenty and to spare,, and where we are at least spared the daily sight of a very extreme or very conspicuous poverty. But we don't really know. Perhaps there are more people here than we imagine who can't afford to buy butter and cream and who don't eat meat as often as they might. I hope the domestic science their daughters learn in the schools will help them, but I suspect that it may be necessary to teach the kind that Miss Hillis teache3 in Pittsburg to some extent if we are to reach the needs of all classes even in Topeka. As for the pure food talk of Mr. Perky, I couldn t help remembering what the man who writes the 'A Line o" Type or Two' department of the Chi cago Tribune said: 'To the poor all food is sure.' It is not enough that My Lady's skirt should be cut with the fashion-favored Ave or seven gores, fit with sheath-like effect from the waist to below the knees, flare voluminously below and lie several inches on the ground. All these things are essential but with so much assured by a skilled modiste a woman may fail to give the latest Parisian catchet to her gown unless she knows how to wear her skirt. There is a new and exaggerated pose, theatrical but de cidedly effective which it is necessary to practice if you want to look as though you had just stepped out of a swell production of a modern "society" drama. "To get it," a Topeka girl who has recently returned from New York and who makes a point of studying these things, advises, "stand erect and gently revolve the body. Not clear about, but just enough to drag the skirt with you and when it is twisted about your figure outlining it from the hips to below the knees and lying in graceful folds about your feet you have the pose and the thing to do is to keep it until you move again. When you are ready to do that experience with the lengthy trains of the last several years shoula be sufficient to assist you in extricating yourself." "In choosing a wife let her be a wo man whose lips do not droop at the cor ners," is the advice of Sheik Abdallah, the Persian Sage.

Few things are so charming as a love ly mouth and few so rarely seen. Love ly eyes, beautiful hair and exquisite complexions are' common enough but a perfect mouth is rare indeed. It is not a feature which engages the attention of unrefined, of uncultivated people; they are attracted by bright eyes and brilliant complexions but to the reader of human nature the mouth is an inter esting study and furnishes a useful In dex to the character. The Cupid's bow is the traditional mouth of beauty because it gives an arch expression to the face. But the very small rosebud mouth has gone out of fashion. The mouth of the Gibson girls and the Wenzell girls and the other recognized standards of modern feminine beauty have rather large mouths. A mouth with the upper lip curved, lower lip straight, full and well defined with a depression beneath Indicates a highly artistic sense, a love of beauty and ease, a fine moral nature and a cer tain coldness of temperament. If the chin is firm and rounded it bespeaks determination and physical strength. The mouth of sagacity is large and al ways well closed. The line of the lip is well defined and there is a certain tight ness about the laws when in reoose. A woman with, such a mouth will be keen, clever In conversation and analy tical. She will not be easily deceived and while a good conversationalist will bear in mind the maxim of Fallevrand that "language is given to conceal thought. If a mouth is lone and thm wfrh the lines between the lips clear cut and firm the woman is selfish, morbid and dominating. This is the mouth that de sires to rule. It is the mouth of de termined masterfulness. When the line of closure is flexible the chin weak and the corners incline to droop we see selfishness without de cision, egotism without character, mel ancholy without reason. The short uoner lip with the marked expression under the nose and upward turning corners is the merry mouth and bespeaks harjpy traits. Such a woman is quick to appreciate favors, ready with her smiles and sympathy but ijeter tragic. She will have an artistic bent and if the outline of ber lower lit is graceful will have daintily refined tastes. If the corners of her lins dim ple deeply it is an indication of powers of repartee and love of ridicule without maliciousness. Unusually red Hds denote capacity and cruelty. A small mouth with tightly compress ed lips gives an expression of shrewd ness and worldly wisdom. Lips that are firm and a trifle grim are never afraid to tell the truth. Lips that are straight and finely cut and when in repose like the lips of a statue belong to a cold nature. As to a man's mouth, if it is a Cupid's bow have nothins to do with him. A man with a small mouth never amounts to anything. A woman with a broad mouth is usually a genius. A man with arshed Hds drawn down at the cornar is usually a babv or a friend. A man with straight thin lips will cling to a purpose with bulldog tenacity. A man whose lips turn inside out is an enthus iast. Thick lipped ones secretive. A long upper lip ootes success. A'short lip an easy going nature the sort of man who says: 'T don't care what hap pens so long as It doesn't happen to me." For a decade the word "lady" has been tabooed by polite society, but from London comes the tidings that Queen Alexandra has declared herself in favor of a revival of the word, says the New York Press. "Woman" formed an ex cellent substitute for that frequently abused word, and lady" became al most the slur that "woman" was ten years ago. The word "lady became unendurable, after it formed a syllable in such' combinations as "saleslady," "lady friend" and "perfect lady," and its usage waned among the cultured ele ment. The term "woman fitted in px cellently with the mannish vogue of five vears ago. and when "lady passed lrom the fashionable vocabulary "gentleman," too, fell in favor. "Gentleman" was never avoided so consistently as the other word, and In contradistinction to can was even permitted, rne queen of England has voiced her objection to the word woman" on the ground that it sounds harsh and indelicate, and that. inasmuch as the English for hundreds of years designated their gentlewomen as ladies," the impulses of a squeamlsn set should not alter the dictionary, Americans returning from London say the queen's declaration is manifestin itself, and the most fashionable persons in England use the word "lady enthu siastically. It is assumed that in New York there will be a revival of "lady" in sympathy with the London decree. In the wav of beauty hints nothing published lately apeals more strongly to common sense than the advice of Mad ame Adelina Patti, who in a recent Chi cago Recowl-Herald says: "Keep the mind clear of all unnecessary worry and the bodv clear of all unnecessary food Live with great regularity and moder ation. Keep the heart young. The one m whom faith and hope and love still live must reflect the fact on the features It is the hopelessness, the disappoint ment of life, the absence of love of the positive sort that make so many women grow old before their time. They may love those near them in a perfunctory sort of way, but this is negative love The love that lifts them out of them selves and glorifies the humblest home is gone, or has forever passed tnem by. And so I would say, love some one, or something, truly, if it is only a dog. The emotion makes you forget yourself and keeps youth lingering, feleep eight hours in every twenty-four. Examine the list of your social obligations: cut out every thing in which there is neither pleasure nor profit. Simplify your social life. "Make your home as cheerful and as pleasant as possible, out keep within your means if you would have a mind at ease with yourself and with the world. "Drink nothing but water and milk especially quantities of water. You can't drink too much of It. "Bear in mind that alcohol is so much poison: that wine, beer, coffee and tea are poisons. "Do not take medicine except when absolutely necessary. "Eat littie meat. "Health is youth. Losing one's hair is a disease: the stiffening of joints is a disease; the wrinkling of the skin is a disease. Disease brings age, not age disease. "Cold creams and massage to preserve the complexion are minor details. If you would get at the heart of the matter keep well and happy and thus be for ever 'young.' What do you say to a long cloak of a dark rich purple, velvet trimmed with black velvet and heavy ecru antique lace with a lining of white satin? The wrap fits the shoulders but hangs in volumi nous, rippling folds at the bottom where it trails slightly. Of course it is de signed for evening wear. Another in pale gray peau de sole is described with ohs and ahs of rapture by a Topeka woman recently returned from New York. This creation was combined with ecru guipure, bright green velvet and white silk cor,d ornaments. Brocaded silks and velvets are greatly used for linings Jor these wraps and the frogs and ornaments which are used for fastening frequently constitute a marked feature of their decoration, "Every dog .has his day," says Mrs. Jasies Kernochan of New York, president ot tne toadies' Kennel Association ot America, referring to the second annual bench show to be held in Madison Square Garden October 21 to 24, inclusive, "and just now terriers and toy dogs seem to be in highest favor in the affections of women. Spaniels and Pomeranians are favorites with most women who fancy dogs. Pomeranians are coming to the front particularly this season. In Europe there is a toy dog that is comparatively little known here the Brussels Griffon which weighs not over four or five pounds, is red and like a tiny Irish terrier except that it has an undershot jaw." A very noble charity is maintained in New York City where every once in a while infants are found abandoned on doorsteps and in other strange places. If the mothers who wish to be rid of their babies only knew it, there is an institution an orphan asylum up on Lexington ave nuewhere babies may be abandoned without risking their lives and no ques tions asked. Just' within the vestibule, which is open night and day, stands' e basket crib. In that crib the baby may be deposited. A ring at the bell will bring a sieter who will take the child. The per son leaving it there may remain and be questioned if she pleases: if she does not no attempt will be made to follow or find ner. if a note is left asking that a cer. tain name be given to the baby, this re quest invariably will be granted. This in" stitution is modeled after a great French orpnan asylum so far as this feature goes. Table and Kitchen. Lonauetea by Lida Ames Willis, Mar- iiucne ouuaing, unieago.. to whom all in quines should be addressorl All rights reserved by Banning Co., Chi- Though pickles of all kinds are eonsid. ered far from wholesome, they are such an appetizing relish many will not forego the pleasure these spicy accessories give the sense or taste. Under these conditions, then, it is well to be careful in the selec tion of the materials used in the prepara tion of this class of foods. Only the best vinegar should be taken. Spices must be of the purest but not used too liberally, as they are rather med icines than foods, and ever so little will be sufficient to render the food more pala- tame oy giving variety of flavors, and stimulate the sense of taste so as to con siderably increase the flow of saliva. Per- napa me strongest argument in favor of the USe Of SniCP flnri vit)f.f.3P in ivinlrln,. fruits and vegetables is that they greatly assist in the preservation of these foods, so that they do not require watchfulness on the part of the housewife.- Spices should not only be scantily used, but skilfully blended so that no one kind overpowers the ot-ntria uesiruys ine aeucate navor or the fruit, which should really be the most noticeable of all.

16 TOPEKA STATE JOTTItNAX.. S ATTJRDAlT .EVENING. OCTOBEIi 11, 1902. J.M.Powell KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. Lieutenant Commander of tho Ladies of the Maccabees Lodge. 633 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Mo., March 28, 1902. In my official capacity it is to my interest to see that members of onr society are in the best possible physical health. Having had occasion to use Wine of Cardui myself and having found it a remedy of no ordinary merit but far above anything 1 have ever known, and being especially adapted to cure all the ilia to which women are subject, I have often taken occasion to recommend it and 1 have never vet had any reason to regret it, for in every instance I have found it most helpful. If not only effects a quick cure, but those who have taken a thorough treatment of this very merito rious medicine seem to be renewed from head to foot, so that they are particularly immune from catching diseases and colds, which are really the beginning of the majority of them. Since I have used Wine of Cardui myself I feel in excellent physical condition and have no need of doctors or other medicine. 1 consider it a most desirable family remedy and as I have observed for the last three years the very satisfactory results obtained, it is with great pleasure I give public endorsement to Wine of Cardui, as I have many times done privately- THE Ladies of the Maccabees is one of the largest fraternal in surance organizations in the country and sickness and death among its members call for benefits to be paid out of the treasury of the order. The great organization is entirely in the hands of women who have so successfully conducted its af fairs that among the secret orders for women the Ladies of the Macca bees is regarded as a model. Among the leaders of this great order is Mrs. J. M. Powell of Kansas City, Mo. She is a lady of high intel ligence and as lieutenant-commander of the Kansas City lodge has the welfare of the organization more or less in her keeping. She says: "In my official capacity it is to my inter est to see that members of our so ciety are in the best possible physi calhealth." Clear judgment prompts her to recommend Wine of Cardui to the members of her organization. Wine of Cardui has benefited every woman who has taken it. Such a remedy is worthy every woman's confidence in the time of sickness when doctors fail and other medi cines do not bring the sufferer relief. Wine of Cardui will cure any un complicated cases f irregular pe riods and bearing down pains. It is valuable during pregnancy, at child birth and during the change of life. It is not a strong medicine but it quickly relieves female troubles in an easy and natural way. It strength ens the nervous system, acts directly on the genital organs and is the finest tonic for women known to the medical science. If Mrs. Powell was cured by Wine of Cardui and recommends it to thousands of her lodge members, don't you think it is worth a trial in your home? All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.

TRAGEDY 0OIIE BILLS. When Charles Dickens saw an Ameri can prairie for the first tim he wonder ed now any numan bcroj coma live upon it a year without going? mau. iet statistics show that a preponderance of evidence is in favor of the Drairies and against the hills. The ereat" psalmist sang: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my. help,'' not material help, but divine, for those were the figurative hills of God,- and their tops reached to heaven. -The hills that give strength -also take it away. as the men and. women livinsr on those declivities that are bare and bleak in winter, that lift their bald and rugged foreheads to the eternal altitude of the skies, can freely testify. Humanity only accentuates the loneliness. A house perched on the side of one of those eter nal hills is as remote as an eagle's nest. We have all viewed such a dwelling oh the hillside, with its somber background when gazing from a car window on the flying panorama of travel. Whether it was only a woodman's cabin or the more pretentious frame houses with u veranda, our thoughts were invariably of thankfulness that we did not live there. For it requires superhuman strength to live up to the hills. In the door of a cabin on such a hill side a young woman was standing sur rounded by a .trio of dogs, that were giving tongue to their joy at seeing her again after a half hour's absence in search of a cow which had wandered away. Her head was covered and her face obscured by a clinging sunbonnet, which she threw aside, revealing an al most startling type of rustic beauty. and braids of red-brown hair 'tied in girlish braids at the nape of a neck that was the perfection of symmetry. She was speaking aloud either to her self or the dogs. 'If I ever said I liked th' hills I lied. An' if I ever said I loved HI Dimmock I why, hello, Tennessee, what brought you back alone?" Tennessee was a beautifully marked hound with long, silken hair and a plumy tail, which she waved in rapid gyration as she fondled the young wo man. Where's your, boss has anything happened to him? Speak out. Tenn. He ain't fell down .and hurt himself, has he?" .v But the dog was quietly clicking her hand, and she looked inside the cabin to see if the gun hung in its place. It did not, so she decided in her own mind that Tennessee had tired of the hunt and come home, a trick for which she had been soundly trounched within a week. A wild, concerted rush of the dogs re vealed the fact that a stranger was ap proaching, a man on horseback,; who put his hand to his mouth to form a trumpet, and called out shrilly: Hello, the house! Call off your doss!" At a word from the woman the whole pack ran under the cabin floor, snarling and growling, but obedient to ordfirs. Then the stranger threw himself easily from his horse, and advanced to the door of the cabin. "Do you know me, Nell?" he asked. "Sure," answered the girl: "You haven't changed any in two years. But I don't know what brings you here." The man flushed at her words and stammered, "I-I-saw you from the cars, and you looked kind of lonesome and homesick, and I thought maybe you would be glad to see an old friend, and that's all there is to it." "Hi is out shooting squirrels," said the girl. "I reckon he'll be home any time now. He's right peart with his gun." and she gave a forced laugh. "Has he sobered up any Uving in this wilderness?" asked the man. "Dave Harkness, you never liked HI, not even when you were boys together. You prophesied when I married him lie would break my heart, but there never was a kinder husband on earth than Hi Dimmock. If you've come here to find out how we get along you can go back and tell them that. If you don't want to get into a quarrel with Hi he'B the right stuff you will go now. She would not even look at him for fear she would draw a contrast, i.n her own mind between him with his. alert, upright figure and the sodden form and features of her husband. "It beats me, Nell," he said presently, "what you ever saw in Hiram Dimmock to throw yourself aay on him. I ain't any too good, but there wasn't one of the boys in the old crowd that wasn't head and shoulders above him for de cency and fair dealing. You might have had your choice, Nell, and you took him. Why did you pick out the worst one in the crowd?" The girl looked him in the face, lifting lanre, limpid blue eyes to his with a sincerity that vanquished all doubt. "I loved him. He was poor and plain looking and shunned by the rest of you, and ail that made me love him better. When he is sober there Isn't a better hearted or kinder husband in the world. I'm glad to see you, but go now. Dave. Some dav we're going back, but not now." Tears filled her eyes as she spoke. "Nell," cried the man, losing his head In a moment of sudden resolve, "come away from here with me now tonight and go back to your old home. Give me the right to make you happy come back to civilization and a home such as you deserve. I have loved you since we, went to school together. You .are wretchedly unhappy I can see that." A sudden, clicking nojse from the cabin smote the air. The man talking started, but Nell glanced back and said: "That is the clock. It often does that.. Yes, I'm wretchedly unhappy, every wo man who loves is, but I haven't fallen so low yet as to need your help, your sympathy, Dave Harkins. If you have anything more of that' sort to, say, I reckon I'll call the dogs. They will pro tect me in the absence of my husband. "Forgive me, Nell, and forget what 1 said. If your love doesn't reform Hi Dimmock no power on earth can. God bless you, Nell, and good.-by." He rode away, a picturesque figure in the sunset, but the eyes of the woman leaning in the doorway, did not look after him. Before he was. absorbed in the lessening distance she had turned into the cabin and drawn the calico cur tains apart that draped a space in the wall into which a bed was built. A man lay there roughly "dressed, holding in both hands a cocked rifle. He had si trampish ensemble and his face was flushed With liquor.' "So.-'ou came back while I was gone? Why didn't you come out of hiding on: of the boys from home was nereyou heard him. Hi?" "Y-y-es. my beauty. T-I did. Heard his 'pinion of me. Heard him ask m-my wife to run away with him d him:" "And you heard what I said, dear? He was out of his head. Hi." "Needn't 'pologize for h-hlm.' Mrs." Dim mock. Tt al-1 right. You get s-u-pper now. I'll take a walk cool my brain come rignt drck. xeii. Ho long. She did not worry over his absence until the does pttrncled her attention to the fact that they had all been fcft behind. The sound of a rifle shot was too freauent on the hills to disturb her, but when midnight had come and Hi was still absent sh. feared the cabin more than the open, and inking tho dors she started out In the sep ulchral moonlight, leaving it to the instinct of tier tour-rooted mends to lean tne wav. Had HI followed the man who hnd left her door? Had he killed him for what he said to her?She did not think Hi capableof taking such revenge- in his present state. Hut she must find him. Down the long trp.il to the vilTnge she hurried nntil stop ped by a horrible commotion among the dogs: they ere grouped about a patch of something that lay dark in the moon beams. She kr.cw then that HI bad found his enemy, and already, her mind was planning to save him from the conse quences of the act. Where was he? She reached the prostrate form an3 stooped to see if any life were left.1 Soothing and quieting the dogs that thev should not at- t-pof Bttr"tion to the deed she looked into tne race oi ner nuspand.

The democracy of government and re ligion rests upon the rights of man as man, the rights of the people to establish our form of government, the rights oi reason and conscience in, religion. From the high ground and vision of the uni versal fatherhood and brotherhood the distinctions of race and color, the acci dents of poverty ar.d wealth, are lost in the great light of the infinite justice and love. We are human beings, brothers, be fore we are Jew or Christians, Catholic or Protestant. Rev. Dr. H. W. Thomas, Independent, Chicago. THE TRAGEDY OF SIN. Some lives are poenjs, some a symphony, some an oratorio, some a comedy, some a farce and some, alas, a tragedy. The Greek tragic poet thought Of his hero as driven on to the fatal issue of a hopeless struggle by the mysterious power of fate. To the thought of the Christian tragedian the one who is overwhelmed by the waves of hopeless ruin Is driven oh, not by some Irrestible power without him, but by the power of moral depravity which he has developed in himself. The struggle results in disaster because the doomed man Is bound by chains of steel which he has forged for himself. Back of every tragedy will be found a disturbing element, and that element is sin. It is not fate, but in. that crowds men to the wall.- Rev. Polemuer H. Swift, Methodist, Chicago. SOME POINTS ON LAW. 'I was standin' down here bv the river," began a man who sauntered into the police station, "when a feller comes up to me and says ne s a iroo mina to knock my chin off. Was that ag'in the law?" "It was assault, technically speak ing," replied the sergeant. "That'd what I told him. but he said he could lick all the law In this tov.n and me on ton of it. Then he takes me by the goatee, this way. and jerks my head to the right and to the left and says he s a good mind to jerk my jaw off. .Was that agin the law?" "Certainly it was." "That's what I told him, but he sneers and sneers and says he owns half the police force and two judges and has a soft snao.- Then he grabs my hat and jumps on it and hits me a slap on th ear and savs he'll make my head ache for a week. Was that ag'in the law? "That was both assault" and bat- terv." "That's what I told him. but he said he also ownei the other half oT the police force and could buy up any jury. Then he spit on tOD of 'my head and slapped my mouth and says that if he diJn't have to ga to the bapk to draw $10,000 he'd make a knothole of me. Was that ag'in the law?" -'6f -course." i t 6 1 1 "Was it ag'in the law when he twist ed my nose, punched me in the ribs and then turned me around- and- booted me' five times?" "To be sure." ."Well, that's what I told him, and I'm glad to find out that I was correct. Much obliged to you! If I see him ag'in. I'll try and get a bet Uiai. ha. was wrong Mtt. BOWSERS ECONOMY. He Does a Little Tinkering and Baves Fifty Dollars. Dinner was over, and Mr. Bowser had sat down to his newspaper and cigar when Mrs. Bowser carelessly observed "I won't be sure about it, but I think our doorbell is out of order; A lady ealled this afternoon, and it failed to ring. "It's out-of orders of course," replied Mr. Bowser as he looked up. "As every thing else in this house is out of order why wouldn't the doorbell be? I sup pose you stood there and rang It till there was nothing left?" "Isn't any doorbell liable to get out of order, now and then "No, ma'am, it isn't. Ours is the only doorbell in this town which ever gets out of order. Do you know what it has cost me to have doorbell men running up here every five minutes for the last ten years?" "It hasn't been out of order for a year before." "Hasn't it? That shows bow little you heed what is going on in this house. -To my certain knowledge that doorbell has had to be repaired twenty eight times in the last twelve months. That is over twice a month, once in every thirteen days! Is it any wonder- is it any wonder, Mrs. Bowser, that I can't bank a dollar to save my neck? Is it any wonder that I have nightmare every night and: kick and toss and groan and have dreams of the poor- house?" -r She didn't answer, and he rose up and stood before her, spectacles in one hand and newspaper in the other, aud continued: "The doorbell busted again busted for the twenty-ninth time in a year! A thousand dollars paid out in twelve months to repair busted doorbells! We might as well eu't risht here and go to the poorhouse." 'You can t blame me, Mr. Bowser, she protested. "It you are not to blame, then wno is?'' he shouted. "If you didn't stand on the steps and jab and jam on the button until te wire melted or broke, who did? Don't try to lay it on some caller or agent. If there is a worse run house than this in all America, I'd like to know its location. I come home aftei j a hard day's work, and what do I find?" 'You find the doorbell out or oraer, quietly replied Mrs. Bowser, "but I can I pay for tne repairs out oi my piu money. You get excited over a very small thing." 'Mrs. Bowser. I'm not excited, but simply put out over your carelessness. You bust the doorDen. you Drean a pane of glass, you smash a mirror, you kick a leg off the sofa, you 'When did 1 do tnese tntngs 'Never you mind! No wife should talk hack to her husband. While your carelessness cost me over $3,000 the last year, I shall say nothing more at mis time. The bell will not only be fixed, T will flir it mvself. In fact. I was just wishing there was something I could tinker at ror an nour. If -vou will let it go till tomorrow, i will get a man to do it." "The bell will be duly repaired within half an hour, Mrs. Bowser. Is my tool box down cellar?" "T holieve BO. but I Wish VOU Would not meddle with it. If anything hap pens, you you v "Nothine will happen, and no one will blame you. If I can save $1,000 a year by keeping that doorbell in repair, we shall be so much ahead of the game. It's all owing to the fact that I'm a handy man and make my own repairs that' we pull through the year. I pre sume the batteries have become ex hausted, and I can fix them in about five minutes." .Hn disaoDeared down cellar and Was absent for half an hour. When he 're appeared, he was covered with white wash and cobwebs, but there was a look of.. satisfaction on his face as he said: The renairs are finished, Mrs. BW- 9pf -and I have saved $50 in cash. In other words, we'd had to have an elec-1 trician around here, for five days at an expense of $10 a day." 'What! f Just to nx a aoorDeu: sue exclaimed. 'Just to fix a doorbell. You don't spent to understand the gravity of the Situation." What was the matter?" As vou know nothing about volts and amperes and alternating currents artd open circuits you couia not under stand if I tried to explain. I will now go out and press the button, ana elec tricity will do the rest." There were three bells on the circuit When Mr. Bowser pressed the button, they began ringing, and when ne let up they still continued. It wasn't a soft, melodious ring, as the bells gave out when a lady caller pressed the button. nor yet a quick, decisive ring, as wnen the Turkish rug man mounted the steps to offer his wares on the weekly Install ment plan. It was a continuous clat ter, with a buzzsaw edge to it, and it haon't continued over 30 seconds before the cat beean flying around the room and the cook came upstairs to ask if there was time to save her trunk. "I told you we ought to send for a regular man," said Mrs. Bowser as -she went out to where Mr. Bowser was pushing and pulling and jabbing at the button. "I don't care a continental tf you dirt'" he shouted. "I have set out to fix this doorbell, and I'll fix it or die' Go back and tell the cook to slaut up!" The rineine not only continued, Dut arrew louder, and there was a buzzing from down cellar that sent the cook into the. back yard and Mrs. Bowser uDStairs. Mr. Bowser was game, how ever. He couldn't tell how many volts had been let loose to hunt him down nor how many amperes were lurking in ambush to strike him dead, but he galloped to and fro and made use oi the hammer, the pinchers, the cork screw and the screwdriver by turns. While he was working a crowd was fathering in front of the nouse. ana ne had just found the spot where the wires were crossed ana cut mem au wnen a policeman pushed his way up to th(5 door and demanded: "Now, -where's the murder or fire or whatever it is, and hs the villain got out bv the back way?" "I I was just fixing the bells," stammered Mr. Bowser. "And do you upset the whole block and frighten a dozen children into fits fixing your bells? --Old man, you go slow, it's ag'in the law to raise riots, and you quiet down or you'll go to the cooler!" "Bring out the guilty man!" yelled half the crowd. "We watit lustice done!" yelled the other half. It was ten minutes before the officer could persuade them that it was "nothing but a lunatic fixing his door bell." When the people had grudgingly dispersed, Mrs. Bowser passed down the hall to where Mr. Bowser sat on the front stairs. He realized that some thing had happened, but he couldn't tell what it was. "Well; did the volts and the am peres and the alternating currents get mixed up?" she kindly asked. Mr. Bowser looked un and glared and breathed as if he had been climbing up a haystack, but he had nothing to say. There was no need of words. She was to blame, of course, and in the morning his lawyer: and her lawyer would have an interview and settle the amount, of nlimony. (Copyright, 1S02, by C. B. Lewis.
