The total number who have voted thus far is less than fifty. The fart that the candidates were auspicious of the poll doubtless has had Something to do with the slowness with which the votes have b-n coming in. Th3 Curtis men especially seem reluct ant about voting, dates evidently Kaeh of the candi- fearful that his Strength will not show up as strong as he wishes to have people believe. But if the members will vote their senti ments each man will be credited with his full strength and no member need dis close his choice. Of the votes already cast only a small number voted the full "ticket." The majority skipped, at least une of the of fu 'OH. More voted oil senator than on any other proposition, but a considerable number did not express their choice for senator. Tie; members of the senate did not, of course, vote for speaker.

In other words. 1 am not laleied." A. P. Williams of Shawnee puts his choice ti'is way: "I will say that my fit s! choice for United States senator is Charles Curtis. It follows that there is no necessity for a sec.. nd choice," which is a neat way of saying that Mr. "Williams fcc-s all confidence in the elec tion of Mr. Curtis. Mr. Williajms de clares for Parker for speaker. Senator W. S. Fitzpatii.-k of Chau tauqua declares his loyalty to Curtis in this way: "I think I can answer every question you ask by saving that I am f..r Charles Curtis," which prob ably means that on state printer Sen ator Pitzpatiiek will vote in a way that will most help Mr. Curtis in his s-ua o rial race.

"The Curtis men ran a candidate of their own against Pringle, but Prinelo won. A resolution was put through the convention, in structing the nominee for OurUs for United States senator, and Mr. Pringle said that he would carry out the wish es of his constituents notwithstanding the fight in the primary. He has al ways said he would vote for Curtis, and he refused to become a. candidate for speaker until he was assured by Mr. Curtis that the latter would take no part in the speakership contest. ".Notwithstanding' the fact that Pringle was instructed for, and said he would vote for. Curtis, some of the Curtis men slaughtered him at the polls. It is safe to say that upwards of 10" Curtis P.epublicans bolted Prir.gle and voted for the fusion can didate, because the fusionist agreed to vote for Curtis if he should be elected." Mr. Curtis and Mr. Pringle held .a conference lat? Monday afternoon, in which it is said Curtis tried to pet Pringle to withdraw from the speaker ship contest, but Mr. Pringle refused, saving that it had pone too far now for him to back out, and reminding- Mr. Curtis that he did not go into the con test until assured by Mr. Curtis that he would take no part in the speaker ship fight. Afterwards Curtis and Barker had a talk over the situation and it may be that Mr. Barker will withdraw and leave the field to Pringle. Here are a few- comments by the Kan sas newspapers on the senatorial situa tion: Beioit Call: The fellows who think they can defeat Charley Curtis for United Str-tea senator will know they have been to a fight when they get through. Utu le Cy I. eland to the con- trary notwithstanding. Mr. Curtis will land, and the political sun of Uncle Cy will set so far as Cuius is concerned. "The Indian" will win. as he should, by all that is right and proper, and Mr. Stanley can go back to his home at Wiihita. where he can do more pood than he can in the United States senate. Burrtnn Graphic: The senatorial situ ation r.t Topeka looks as though Curtis would have the most votes on the start with Long a close second and Stanley third. Pons: seems to be the second choice of the greater portion of the op position and the indications are that the Long pole will knock the persimmon. I Kmporia Gazette: There is no "key" j to the senatorial situation. It is closed j by a Yale time lock and V. E. Stanley Ms the only man who knows the eom bination. The I .on? fellows all like him j and the Curtis fellows all trust his I honesty and the other felows would rather have him than any one but their own man. Curtis is out of it. Pone's cavalry charge is getting a bit wheezy but Stanley's siege puns are all right. Stanley will win this heat and race. Westmoreland Signal: As we have said before, and wish to reiterate, we do not. believe that either Pour, Stanley or Curtis will ever be United States sena tor from Kansas. They are at outs to such an extent that it would be an im possibility to enter into a combine whereby either could be elected. A new man. possibly Calderhead, will land the plum. A Washington dispatch says that Sec retary Hitchcock of the interior deoart- ment has made a statement exoneratki j Congressman Curtis from complicity with th aiiesred frauds in connection 1 wi n the sale of th Pottawatomie Indian lands. The statement is as follows: "I cannot be influenced by any con j sideration to take any part whatever in i the Kansas senatorial contest. Four of the candidates, including Mr. Curtis, have uniformly sustain more or lest, intimate official relations with this de partment and all of them have my con fidence and res;iect. "These articles, however, make it proper, if not necessary, in justice to th department, for me to say that oongres; at its last session authorized the saie of inherited Indian lands, subject to the approval of the secretary of the interior. I -ands of this class ai located in many of the states and territories. The de partment issued regulations governing their disposition at private sale, but complaints coming- from several widely separated sections of the country in which such lands are located, attacking the intPt-Htv of the sales nr.itj nn,w j tnt.se regulations. the uepartmert deemed it advisable to disapprove ah. including those referred to in thest newspaper articles, and reouire the lands to be sold under sealed bids to the hichest bidder at not less than their I appraised value. i "I have, however, issued instruction to special agents to thoroughly investigate 1 till complaints implicating agency offi cials in any Irregularities relative to these private sales. Some of these in- vestigations have already been made j ethers are being made, and the bal ance will be taken un and completed a." i early as may be consistent with other important work in the hands of the spe cial agents charged with this service. "This department has no information. nor have I any reason whatever to bc- lieve that Mr. Curtis has ever had anv connection, directly or indirectly, with j the sale of any of these hinds, and no i complaint of that character has ever been brought to my attention. The re j Sections upon Mr. Curtis contained in i these articles have no foundation what ever in any of the records of this de l artment. nor in any act of his of which I have any information." The Hi lton Recorder, on the other hand, thinks that Mr. Curtis aided i, the secret sale of the lands in order to help nis friends. In reviewing the mat- ler "It is true that the fact of these lands being for sale was not advertised and was for .w.-eks. until shout ail lands had been contracted for, known only to the select few. The Recorder published the fact the week following the time we were informed of the matter, and wa- the first paper in the county, we be lieve, to give the information. Plow the syndicate.' the favored few, got the ad vance information we do not know, but we have reason to believe that Ml. sjCintis connived at keeping the informa r I tion away from the public for the ben efit of a few political friends. One rea son we believe this is that Mr. Rodgrs sent C. pose word that Mr. Curt..? wished to see hint. Mr. Hose, who was a candidate fot postmaster, went to see him and was in formed bv Mr. Curtie that it would be impossible to recom mend Rose for postmaster, but that he would give him a pointer that would bt worth to him as much as the post masteishm. and thereupon told him ot the lan,. sale. Mr. Ttoae told Curtis that no hid no mone;- to invest in Indian lands and that the information was valueless to him." K. A.

WILL TAKE A MONTH. The Son Union Miners Are Hav ing a Heaving. Investigation Begins Where It Left Off at Seranton. Philadelphia, Jan. 6. After a recess over the holidays the anthracite strike commission resumed its work today by hearing the non-union men's side of the controversy in the great industrial war in the anthracite regions during the past year. The sessions of the commission in this city are being- held in the United States circuit court room in the federal building, and it is expected that fully a month will be occupied in taking the testimony of the non-union men, the coal operators and the mine workers iu rebuttal. When the commission adjourned at Seranton the miners had closed their case and the non-union men were en gaged in presenting their side of the con flict. Up to the holiday recess the law yers for the non-union men had taken j up about three days in calling witnesses who testified to acts of violence, boy cotting and intimidation alleged to have been committed by members of the miners' union. The witnesses heard were principally from the upper region, in the vicinity of Seranton and Wilkes Larre. The session began at 11 o'clock. The court room was well filled when the commissioners filed in and took their seats. All the prominent attorneys wei'e present excepting C. S. Darrow, leading counsel for the miners, 'who was delayed in the west. The first business brought up the presentation by their counsel of the wage statements of several of tne small independent coal companies in the Hazeiton region. John J. Williams, a mining engineer employed by the Lehigh ifc Wiikesbarre Coal company, was the first witness. He told how he was set upon and beaten while on his way to wont, but he could not swear that the strikers committed the assault. Sheriff Shadt, of Lackawanna county, gave in detail his experiences during the strike and finally his call upon Governor Stone for assistance. The sheriff said that President Mitchell had several times assisted him in preventing trouble. FOR SALE, 10,000. Where Kansas Midwinter Expo-; sition Tickets May Be Found. I Manager R. S. Rricrham of the Mid winter exposition has placed ten thou sand admission tickets on sale around town and has five thousand more to used in supplying places where the sale has run out. He was asked if he ex- i pected to sell that many. I "Yes, sir, 1 do," he replied very 1 vehemently. Last year the two weeks of advance sale used up 14.000 tickets and the origi nal number set apart for the advance had to be enlarged several times before it was closed. This time la.Ooo. and no more, will be offered at ten cents apiece. They can be bought by the foot, yard I or tod accordin"; to the number desired as they are built in long strips perfora ted for each admission. If the number i set apart are used. up. as air. tirignam says they will be, others will be sold at 15 cents, the regular admission price, j j for whoever wants them. People who put off buying until toward"the end of i the two weeks' sale need not be sur j prised if they can not get the tickets at I the advance price.

Experience With a Locomotive of the Vanderbilt Type. New York. Jan. 6. To be jammed under the pilot of a hog locomotive as the ones Cornelius Vanderbilt invented j are called, to have his legs curled over the axle of the Coney wheels under the pilot and be carried along for 100 feet, I and yet to escape without a broken bone has been the experience of Louis Huys 1 ler. an electrit ian of Mount Vernon. He was found with his lee-s curled around the axle of the Coney wheels. His head was jammed back under the pilot it self. Pie was in a position that made it impossible to extricate him without lifting the locomotive from the rails. When he was finally removed Huysler's left knee was found to be dislocated, the right knee bruised and the leg cut. He also had some cuts on the face and body, but not a bone was broken. CITY LOSES A POINT. Objection of Gas Company Is Sus tained by Jndge Hook. In the United States circuit court Monday afternoon Judge Hook sustain ed the exceptions of the Excelsior Coke Gas company, complainant, to the amended answer filed in the dollar gas case by the city of Toneka. Five particulars of the amended an swer were objected to. These five points were a denial that the comnainant had not charged at certain times more for the products of its gas plant than plants in other cities of similar size with like facilities had done; an assertion that the complainant had failed to comply with state laws requiring the filing of statements; a denial that the court had jurisdiction in the pending case; an as sertion that the filing of the suit is a subterfuge to prevent the institution of criminal proceedings against the gas company, and an objection to the in stitution of the proceedings in a federal court. Turkey Will Permit the Pass age of the Dardanelles. England Enters a Vigorous Pro test Against Grant to Russia. Constantinople. Jan. 6. Great Britain has vigorously protested to the Turkish gov ernment against the permission granted in September iast to four un armed Kussian tornado boat destroyers to pass through the Dardanelles, into the Black sea, under the commercial flag of Russia. The vessels were about to start on the proposed trip. The British note says the passage of the IJardanelles by the torpedo boat de stroyers would be a violation of the ex isting international treaties, and if Rus sian warships are thus allowed to use the Dardanelles Great Britain will re serve the right to demand similar priv ilges. The protest has caused irritation in Russian circles and concern on th part of the Turkish authorities, who fear that other powers will follow the ex ample of Great Britain. Will Make No Attempt to Hand Out Mail at Indianola. Louisville. Ky Jan. 6. A special to the Courier-Journal from Indianola, Miss., says; Mrs. Minnie Cox, the colored post mistress of this place, on account of whose resignation the government or dered the postofp.ee here closed left Jn dianola last night for Birmingham, Ala., aceompaned by her mulatto as sistant. It is now ti---ro.b there is little danger of furthe rouble, .and although tne sentiment ot the people is against the action of the govern,mnt in closing the office and causing a partial paraly sis of business, no violence is antici pated. Before she left Mrs. Cox made a statement in which she denied that she had been subjected to any Indignities and stated that no violence had been threatened her. She said, however, that j. she would not again take the office of j postmaster under any circumstances. Her husband who is employed in the i United States mail service also made a I statement in which he said his wife had I not been threatened, but that he under- j stood the race problem in the south and j had advised her to give up the place. "There is no doubt that there is a gen eral sentiment here against a negro postmaster." TROUBLE IN LOUISIANA. Washington, Jan. 6. Postmaster Gen-j eral Payne received information that a I posse of white citizens at Boeuf River, La., ordered Charles Jackson, a negro j mail carrier, not to return with the mail i on his route and threatened him wdth death in case he did not heed their in junction. The reason given by the posse was the color of the carrier. The rasa was reported at once to the postal au thorities and Post Office Inspector Peteia of the New Orleans division has been dispatched to Girard with orderes to make a thorough investigation.

HEAR FR0L1 KilOX. Senator Hoar and Congressman Llttlefield lleceive Letters From Attorney General linox on Subject of Trusts. THEY ASKED HIS VIEWS It Is Regulation and Not De struction That Is Wanted. Should Be Careful Not to Over do the Matter. Washington, Jan. 6. Attorney Gen eral Knox has addressed identical let ters to Senator Hoar, chairman of the senate judiciary committee, and Repre sentative Littlefield, chairman of the sub committee of the house judiciary com mittee, giving his views on the s.ubject of trusts. These letters are in reply to communications sent him by Senator Hoar and Mr. Littlefield, asking the views of Mr. Knox. The letters em brace three subjects, the questions which have been decided by the courts, the questions which are pending in the courts and suggestions respecting fur ther legislation. Under the latter head Mr. Knox says: "In view of tne wide experience of the committee in dealing with legal and economic questions, I venture upon the line of suggestion with much hesitation and feeling that the utmost the commit tee desires in this respect is that some concrete thing be set down that may be considered in connection with other views that may be presented as to what might be done within the short period allowed for consideration during the life of this present congress. "I think it proper enough to briefly premise such suggestions as I shall make for immediate action by a state ment of some of the reasons upon which they are based. "The end desired by the overwhelming majority of the people of all sections of the country is that combinations of cap ital should be regulated and not de stroyed, and that measures should be taken to correct the tendency toward monopolization of the industrial busi ness of the country, I assume a thing to be avoided, even by suggestion, is legislation regulating the business in this country beyond such as will accom plish this end. "In my judgment, a monopoly in any industry would be impossible in this country, where money is abundant and cheap and in the hands or within the reach of keen and capable men if com petition were assured of a fair and open field and protected against un fair, artificial and diserimiBating prac tices. "Two or more persons or corporations can not by any combination or any ar rangement between themselves either contract or expand the rights of others to engage in a similar business. The utmost they can do is to discourage the disposition to do so by restricting the opportunities or by securing to themselves some exclusive facilities or the enjoyment of some common facili- j ties upon exclusive terms. j "If the law will guarantee to the small producer protection against piratical methods in competition and keep the highways to the market open j and available to him for the same tolls charged to his powerful competitor, he will manage to live and thrive to an astonishing degree. "Individualism in production has its advantages as well as combination. Small enterprises, not uncommonly spring up and those within the shadow of the laiger ones, though enjoying none of their supposed advantages of control of sources of raw material, fuel and transportation facilities, yet re alizing large profits on output through direct, personal, interested manage ment." Mr. Knox suggests legislation di rected against those who give and re ceive advantages enabling discrim ination in prices as against competi tors. This to take the form of penaliz ing the transportation of goods and federal courts, should be given the pow er to restrain such transportation. He says the present law is not sufficient to meet existing conditions. The opera tions of any law on the subject should be limited to common carriers, subject to the act to reguiate commerce. An additional provision should be made, he says, to reach corporations, combinations and associations which produce and manufacture w-holly within a state, but whose products or sales en ter into interstate commerce. It should relate, first, to such concerns as fatten on rebates in transportation, and, sec ond, to concerns which sell below the general price of a commodity, or wan tonly seek to destroy competition. A comprehensive plan should be framed to enable the government to get at all the facts bearing upon the organization and practices of concerns engaged in inter state and foreign commerce essential to a full understanding and to compel ob servation of the law. He recommends a commission to aid In carrying out the act of July 2, 1S90, which shall make an investigation into the operation of corporations and com binations, with authority to make such inquiries and have power to require re ports from them and their officers. No person should be excused from pro ducing book, contracts, etc., in courts. Continuing Mr. Knox says: "Legislation to correct trust abuses should be developed with great care, for it is not nearly so important to act quickly as to act wisely." He recommends legislation to hurry firal decisions in cases pending and which may be raised under the anti trust law. A RING IN HIS GOOSE. Fowl Bought for New Tear's Dinner Was Worth $125. New York, Jan. C. George Kennedy, employed in a Jersey City market, is wearing a diamond ring said to be worth $125. which he claims to have found in a gizzard of a goose he bought for his ew Year's dinner. The bird was one of a lot that came from a farm near Baltimore. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 6.

Dickey. For the past year Mr. Horton has been assistant su perintendent under Dickey. C. B. HORTON. In his capacity as assistant superin tendent, Mr. Horton made frequent visits to Topeka, one of his most mem orable trips here being a year ago when he relieved from duty Manager Bevelie of the local office and installed Mr. May in his place. Mr. Horton was born at Geneva, N. T.. January 25, 1850. He removed to Northville, Mich., in 1S57, and to Ne braska in 1S6S.. In 1864 he crossed the plains, driving six yoke of oxen hitched to a "prairie schooner," reaching Den ver the fall of the year fiat broke. He enlisted in the Third Colorado cavalry, better known as "Chivington's 100-day men," and took part in the expedition against the Indians which resulted in the famous Sand Creek massacre. At the end of this service Mr. Horton re enlisted in the Second Colorado cavalry, and served with this regiment until it was mustered out after the close of the war at Fort Leavenworth in 1865. He attended Tabor, la., college for two years and then served three years in the regular army, battery C, Third United States artillery.

He afterwards filled the positions of clerk, stenographer, and chief clerk in the office of Superintend ent J. J. Dickey, and in 1890 became assistant superintendent to Mr. Dickey. This place he left to take his late posi tion in Denver. Mr. Horton is one of the most wide ly known telegraph men in the west and his many friends here are pleased to learn of his promotion. He is ex pected to arrive in the city today to wind up his affairs here preparatory to his going to Omaha. THE WAR IS OVER. Boer Generals Attend Party Given for Chamberlain. Pretoria, Transvaal, Jan. 6.

I rrnnQAQ-MEWQ lUll.OilO ULttfu Hutchinson PostoSke Business Shows Great Growth. jlore jloney Paid in December Than in Its History. RECEIPTS ARE $2,T40. Claim That the ORice Is Most Economically Run. But Two Towns in Kansas With Lower Per Cent Expense. Hutchinson, Kas., Jan. 6. The re ceipts of the local postofnee were great er last month than in any month in the history of the office, and December is usually not the banner month either. During December $2,740 was received at the postofnee from the sale of stamped envelopes, postal cards, stamps and money order receipts. Of this sum, $1, 329.86 was turned over to the govern ment. In other words, after paying- the postmaster's salary, all the clerk hire, carriers' wages, the salary of three rail way mail clerks paid from this office, rent, light and heat in fact, all the ex penses of the office the government re ceived considerably more than half the total receipts. The largest month ever before known was that of March last year, when $2,443.35 was taken in. The receipts were also .in excess of $2,400 in October and November. During the last fiscal year, which ended June 30 the receipts of the local postofnee were S2o.939.15, al most double what they were five years before. Since 1897 the amount sent to the government has been more than doubled and the expense of the office has been cut down from 64 to 50 per cent of the total receipts. There are but two towns in the state Parsons and Wellington where office rent is paid, where the per cent of expense is lowei. There are not a half tlozen in the state located in buildings owned by the gov ernment where the expense is lower in proportion to the receipts. If the local office did not have to pay office rent it would be the lowest city in point of pro portionate expense on the list, and this with three mail clerk to pay, whose salaries in no -wise belong properly to the expense of the local office. It is expected that the receipts for th present fiscal year, which is now half gone, will pass the $28,000 mark. If toe per cent of gain the last six months keeps up the next six months there will be no doubt of this. When the local office is moved into the new govern ment building- it will rank as one of the most economically administered offices in the state. IMPORTANT COURT DOCKET.

Possible That Branch of Army Service May Be Established There. Junction City, Kas., Jan. 6. There has been considerable talk at Fort Riley about a contemplated enlargement of the cavalry and artillery posts there, and about the addition of infantry bar racks since Clyde C. Smith, general su perintendent of construction of the United States army, accompanied by a specification clerk, visited the post about two weeks ago. During his stay at the post. Superintendent Smith in spected carefully a number of desirable sites for barracks and stables at both the cavalry and artillery posts, and since his visit it has been learned that he also inspected a number of advisable, locations for infantry barracks. Since Fort Riley was founeled in 1853, it has been a cavalry and artillery post. It is not known if the department at Washington has ever recommeneled thu addition of the infantry arm of the ser vice to the two branches of the service now stationed there, but many at Fort Riley thinl) this will be done, probably this year or next. Their opinion in this respect has been greatly strengthened since Superintendent Smith's visit, and his inspection of locations for barracks apart from either the cavalry or artil lery posts. F5SAL 'PHONE LINES. Local Winfield Company Fast Cover ing Cowley County. Winfield, Kan., Jan. 6.

Chicago Terribly Shocked at Dr. Io renz's Criticism of It Chicago, Jan. 6. Chicago is aston ished over the Lnrenz interview given on the eve of sailing. Calling the town "provincial" and uninspiring" is a shoak to civic pride. Dr. John B. Murphy said New York is jealous, and continued: "Chicago is the largest medical cen ter on this continent. It is the second in the world, Vienna occupying the first place. Dr. Lorenz knows this and has freely admitted it. From what our dis tinguished visitor said while he was here I gathered that he was much im pressed with Chicago, her greatness and her opportunities." Dr. John B. Ridlon spoke in like strain. He said: "From what I heard from my friends in the east. Dr. Lorenz formed anything but a favorable im pression of New York. Medical jeal ousy, something you don't hear of here, is rampant there."

PRIMER SOLD FOR $2,500. Teacher Bought It at Country Auc tion for 1 2 Cents. Philadelphia, Jan. 6 An original copy of the "New England Primer," which is said to be even more rare than those possessed by George W. Vanderbilt and J. Pierpont Morgan, was sold by Morris D. High of Johnstown to Dodd, Mead Co. Mr. High, who is a teacher in the high school at Johnstown, is a native of Oley, Berks county, and purchased the primer for 12 cents at a public auc tion in a farm house near his home in 1893. He received $2,500 for the little book. Mr. High received an offer from th wife of J. Pierpont Morgan for the primer, but the price paid by Dodd, Mead Co. was higher. The copies of the primer in the possession of George W. Vanderbilt were purchased several years ago. BIG DEER FOLLOWED MAX. Went to Church and Then Returned to His Farm. Winsted. Conn., Jan. 6. A full grown buck deer with large antlers followed Nelson D. Ford, a Hall Meadow farmer, and his family to church in Winchester Center, a distance of five miles. During its several hours' stay in Winchester the animal visited several houses and ate apples from the hands of children, some of whom put their arms around its neck. The deer returned to the Ford farm this morning and immediately sought its place among a herd of cattle. When ever Ford drives his yoke of oxen into the woods to get a load of timber th& deer always follows. LIFE PAID THE PENALTY. "Topsy," the Man-Killing; Elephant Electrocuted. New York. Jan. 6. "'Topsy.' the man- killing elephant, was executed by elec tricity this afternoon at Luna park. West Brighton. Coney island, after a long1 and vain attempt to persuade her vo cross a frail bridge leading to a scaf folding, from which it was intended that s'ns should be hanged. "Topsy" killed a keeper at Waco, Tex., in 1900. and another keeper in the same year at Paris, Tex. On May 2, in Brooklyn, she killed J. Fieldingr in ii Ii 3 f i t 1 F I 1 It f i i I the City f i Klount, of Fort Wayne, Ind., for feed ing her a lighted cigarette. When her keeper, "Whitey" Alt, left the employ of Thompson Dundy, the proprietors of the park, last Friday. "Topsy" broke loose, and for some time made things lively in the thoroughfares of Coney island. As nobody else could handle "Topsy," and as the animal's vicious temper did not improve, it was thought best to kill her. Two electrodes on boards were secure ly fastened to one of "Topsy's" fore feet and to a hind foot. Then she was given 260 grains of cyanide of potassium iti three carrots, and in a moment after ha had swallowed them the electrlcia turned on the current and 6,6u0 volts shot through her. There was a flash of fire, an odor of burning flesh and, partly enveloped in smoke, "Topsy's" massive frame seemed to expand, shook violently and then fell. Dislocated Her Shoulder. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Palis, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and paired her very much. Her son men tioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and sore ness, and she asked him to buy her a bot tle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep, which sho had not done for several days. The son was much pleased with the relief it ga' e his mother and he has since recommended it to many others.

Just as soon a3 men can be taken off work now progressing- on different parts of the Santfk Fe's lines, the reconstruction of the old California and Nevada line, between Point Richmond and Emeryville will be commenced. Captain A. H. Pavson, assistant to President Ripley of the Santa Fe has formally announced that the plans fof the reconstruction of the old road are now practically completed, and no time j w ill be lost in commencing active op-era-i tions. Except for the actual locating i of the line the rebuilding of the Cali j fornia and Nevada will be like building I a complete new track. The old line was a narrow gauge, but now in many places the rails are up and the roadbed has fallen into decay. The widening- of the roadbed, the reducing of the cul I verts and the straiarhteninar cf curves I have all to be attended to" before the i heavy rails of the Santa Fe can be laid. It is thought that the work can be com p!-ted in two months at the most. The surveys for the line to Oakland provide for a branching off south and 1 cast from the main line through Rich j mond immediately after the main line j to the ferry passes the depot at the j town. The track thence wiii run due ease alon.fe the southern line cf the sur veyed tow-n intersecting- the California and J'evada right of way but a short j distance north of the line between At ameda and Contra Costa counties. Thus it will be seen that, while the Santa Fe 1 will use the California ami Nevada for 1 the short distance, the remainder of the line is not particularly valuable to th railroad at the present time. AJfOTHEH BREAKS AWAY. Lackawanna Road Will Issue Passes j to Western Lines. I Chicasro, Jan. 6. Yesterday reliable in formation came here from New York that the Lackawanna railroad, learning of the action cf the Erie and Grand Trunk, has determined to return to the old custom of exchanging annual passes with western lines. The only result of i the antipass agreement of the eastern lines during last year was to compel j minor railway officials and employes to j pay their fare. All the higher officials i either received annual passes or were i supplied with tickets, either without ex l per.se or at a nominal rate, usually $1 from Buffalo to New- York and return. The roads which lost most by advo cating and mriintaining the antipass aa-reement undoubtedly were the Lack awanna ami the Baltimore Ohio. These two roads were also among the earlier and most strenuous advocates of i the abolition of commissions to ticket agents of other roads. Ticket and I freisrht agents, and. in fact, all but the higher officials of western roads, havi been using all their influence for more than a year to divert business from the j Baltimore Ohio and the Lackawanna roads. MAY RESTORE COSLMISSIOJSrS Ticket Agents See Good Times in Fall of Pass Agreement. The demise of the antir-ass pact will i make ticket agents throughout the country hopeful of the abolition of the a nt'.commission agreement. It is not likely that a single ticket agent in the United States is today making as much money as he did when commissions were paid. Nearly ail of the railroads raised the wages of some of their ticket a-rents when commissions were abolish ed, but in not a single case did the ad- var.ee m salary amount to as much as i the avenge monthly commission of the i agert The majority of the ticket agents were not given any increase in salary. despite the fact that every radroad based salaries of ticket agents on the i average commission received monthly by ea h agent. A S. Louia ticket agent says: "So long as the volume of passenger traffic" continues phenomenally large i do mot thirk i omnii?i'rs will be restored, but if times get hard and the roads have to scramble for business we will ail get commissions again."'

WATCH BROUGHT BAD LUCK Three Persona Who Carried tha Time piece Met Violent Deaths. A silver watch with an ill-fated his tory was offered in evidence lately before Justice Sauber at the Northwestern po lice station, where Ernest Stoffreen, IT vears old. and Charles Foster. 16 years old, were charged wth the larceny of the watch, which is the property of James j Tracy, a contractor, lj-0 North stricKer street. The watch has been in the Tracy fam ily for 2S years and was bought by Jas. Tracy, Sr., who was, a contractor and stone mason. About ten years ago as the eider Tracy was at work on a bridge across the Baltiniore Potomao rail road near Caiverton he was killed. The watch was in his vest pocket at the time. It then went to James iraey, Jr., who loaned it to his brother. Giison C. Tracy, a brakeman on the Northern Central railway. About four years agw Giison C. Tracy was killed on the rail road. The wata was then loaned James Tracy. Jr., to another brother. Thomas Tracy, a tinner, who u-aa killed three years aeo by failing from a roof on Courtland street. Last August, while Mr. Tracy super intended the razing of the old custom house, the watch was stolen out cf his vest pocket. The theft was reported to the police, but no trace of the timeciece could be found. Recently the police of the northwestern district were informed that Marshall Green, a colored routh. 1111 Little Wilson street, had a watch answering the descrirtton of Mr. Tra cy's property. Sergeant Foster saw Green and recovered the watch. Green safd that Stcffregen and Foster told him the watch was found concealed in a lumber pile and that he could have it.

The treasury figures are a warning that there must be less money collected, more spent or trouble.

INDIA'S COMMERCIAL GROWTH "Commercial India in 1002" is the title of a monograph prepared by the treas ury bureau of statistics, which will ap pear in the December issue of Its month ly summary. It shows that the com merce of India In 1902 is larger than that of any preceding year in its his tory, and that its exports have grown from 70 million dollars in 1S"0 to 274 mil lions in lKTTi. and Xri millions in the fiscal year ending March SI, 11102, making India the sixth country today in the list Cf world's exporting nations. India is one of the comparatively few Countries of the world whose exports ex ceed imports, the exports of India in 1902 exceeding the value of its import Vy 127 million dollars, which is a larger excess of exports than that of any other country except the United States. The value cf the imports in the enseal year K'02 was 264 million dollars, of which Go j?er cent., or practically two-thirds, was drawn from the United Kingdom, and Si per cent, from all Kurope. The ex ports, as already indicated, were '.',92 miilion dollars, of which 2T per cent, went to the United Kingdom and ."0 per cent to all Europe. Of Its exrjorts, 47 million dollars, or 12 per r ent., was sent to the United States, and of its imports 6'i million (iolv.rs. or 2 per cent., was drawn from the United States. Of the exports, rice, hides and skins, jute, cot ton, tea, opium and oil seeds are the principal items, their relative value be ing in the order named. The value 01 fhe rice exported amounted to over 40 miilicn dollars; hides and skins, neariy an equal sum; cotton and jute, about 3" million each; opium, tea and oil seeds, abojt 3') millions each; manufactured Jute, about Si mi-lions; and manufac tured cotton. 8 million dollars. The principal imports are cotton man ufactures, which form more than one third of the total; meals, hardware and cutlery. suR-.ir, oils, silk (raw and man ufactured), woolen goods, and machinery Of v.-ii ious kinds. Of cotton manu 'ac tures alone the total value cf imports is in round numbers 100 million dollars, practically all of which is drawn from Hit Caited Kingdom, as are also most of the metals, hardv.-are and machinery, and a large proportion of the miscel laneous merchandise imported. EDITORIAL COEOSENX. Crowded Cars. Buffalo KxDress. A Kings county grand jury has hand ed down a presentment recommending that the attorney general take steps to annul the charters of the constituent companies of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit company on the ground that that organization has not furnished sufficient cars for transportation purposes, that the cars are poorly .ventilated, badly lighted, not heated, etc. It also savs, that the only solution of metropolitan transportation will be found in munici pal ownership. Whether this is true or not, it is pretty plain that there will be no municipal ownership of traction lines in New York for some years at least. The presentment is especially interest ing in connection with the investigation th&t the state railroad commission is making of transportation facilities in both Brooklyn and New Tork. There is no doubt that great improvements are needed. The crowding has been outrageous on all lines and the manage ment has been lacking in other ways. If there is anv way to force the com panies to make better provisions for the public, no time should be lost in effect ing the changes. Greater Tiavy Imperative. New York Press. It is time now to ponder well the un palatable fact, as it is daily dinned into our ears by our naval exrjerta and by all who think the welfare of their coun try worth studying, that Germany is so far outstripping- the United States in naval equipment that the discrepancy is a constant menace to peace. If we sbut our eyes stubbornly against the condi tion that our much weaker line of tur tle than Germany is a standing invita tion to Emperor William to make a physical test of the force and propriety of the Monroe Doctrine, we shall only hasten that clash with Germany which many conservative Americans believe to be inevitable. When that clash comes we want to be prepared. Doctrina a Settled Policy. Washing-ton Star: The Monroe doctrine is really net open to argument in the United States. The country is wedded to it. We have taken it for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, and there is no divorce. Whatever Kurope may think cf it, j Kuiope will not challenge the doctrine at this time, and we clearly understand j that the security of the doctrine in th future will depend on our ability to de- fend it. The necessities of the case are j well appreciated. We are strengthening i our navy year by year and the spirit j or nationality is firmly established in the bosoms of the people. Important Decisions. Louisville Courier-Journal: The Taff-Vale decision in England, holding a labor organization responsible for damages inflicted by a strike, has just been followed in Chicago by a ver dict of $22.0oO given a brick manufac turer for damages suffered through a boycott against him instituted by the Chicago Masons' and Builders' associa tion of contractors and the Brick Man ufacturers' association. The fact is slowly being established that organiza tions, both of labor and capital, cannot expect to remain indefinitely superior to the laws made for everybody. Epidemic of Poisoning. Rochester Democrat-Chronicle: The prominence given to the Molineux. case by the press, or some other causp, seems to have produced an epidemic of attempts to administer poion by mail or express. Every day there is pub lished a. dispatch from somewhere in the United States telling of the receipt bv some woman of an anonymous yilt of something to eat. usually candy, which the recipient, just as she is about to eat it. discovers to be poisoned. Possibly a good many of these attempts at poisoning exist only in the imaginations of women who receive harmless and well meant though anonymous gifts of confectionery and in the" unveracity of conscienceless newspaper correspondent" in out of the way places. Still it is a good practice carefully to eschew eat ables, drinkables, medicines, etc.. that reach you from mysterious sources. The best place for anonymous gifts of this sort is the furnace or the ash barrel. JAYIIAWKEK JOTS. The Garden City Imprint's first 1003 complimentary was a leg o' mutton.

Davidson got to town today. lie has been here before but never in the capacity in which he appeared today. Ordinarily he is a traveling passenger agent, one of the genial individuals who dispenses smiles and cigars for the bene fit of a bioated corporation but Mr. Dav idson has reformed and while he still scatters smiles and cigars broadcast he does it in the interest of Mr. Julius Cahn. who owns the David Harum pro duction which will be at the Crawford tonight. A few years ago Mr. James E. Hur ley was station agent for the Santa Fe at Florence and Mr. Davidson, then a blossoming young man was his operator. Since then both men have moved up. Mr. Hurley is now general superintend ent of the Santa Fe railroad and Mr. Davidson has assumed the management of "the greatest show on earth." Mr. Davidson drew his last pay check as traveling passenger agnt of the Col orado Midland while the show was at Lf-wrence Monday. He expects to get more pay checks later but no mora from a railroad. Mr. Davidson gave out the following notice of "David Harum" from the Illi nois State Register, and though he is naturally a modest man, he says it does not exaggerate: "The beauty, the comedy, the pathos all these characteristics of the popu lar novel David Harum,' written by Edward Noyes Westcott, were brought out in bold relief last night at Chater ton's opera house in the dramatization of 'David Harum' by Julius Cahn, and with W.

LOCAL MENTION. Chief Wilmarth says that the rule pro hibiting children from congregating around the fire stations will be strictiy enfoiced in the future.

OVER 1,500 BIBBS That Is What May Be Found at Poultry Show. Coops of Fine Chickens Still Pouring In. STRANGE FACES THERE Even a Camel and Sacred Ox Are on Exhibition. Sidelights on the "Show" by a Nou-Professional. One hundred and thirty-three exhibit ors representing 1,539 birds have entered for the state poultry show. By opening time Wednesday morning the secretary expects a few more birds, not more than twenty-five or fifty, and then the dis play will be complete. The first two days have been taken up in an effort to tret everything classified and "count- A kx, jl, V Li rrpY n 8 Voce Wk c fe 1 a hen shoJ. ed" up and the job has been almost too big for the management. By tomorrow or next day it will be possible to tell, with some accuracy, how many birds of different varieties and values are on ex hibit and to give some other data that will be of interest to chicken raisers. About all that on be done now is to say for the benefit of the public that this is the biggest poultry show ever given in Kansas and that it is twice as big as the one given a year ago. All that part" of the Auditorium gen erally known as the parquet and family circle is givem over, to poultry. Long aisles extend between the cages, which are placed back to bad; on the main floor. T'nder the balcony the cages are placed facing one way in order to catch the light. Up on the stage are about 350 pigeons and several cages contain ing the houdan display and the oddi ties. Among the oddities are a family of pheasants, received since yesterday, a pair of fox squirrels, a jack rabbit, an opossum and some peacocks. Away up in the southeast corner of the Audi torium, fenced off in one corner, are the animals borrowed from the Sells circus which is wintering here. There are three today, a northern deer, a sacred cow and a camel. Tomorrow the bo valopus will be put on, along with a monkey and perhaps some other new ones. All the above may be regarded as the trimmings of the show while the great ma-ss of coops contain the birds which will carry off the blue, red and yellow ribbons. It is the valuable part of the show, from the commercial standpoint. This morning Thomas Owen sold three white Plymouth Rocks for $25, and Arthur Durand of Highland Park, who bought them, considered it a fair price. This is the first sale so for, but thero will be others before it closes. The pigeon department has been the first to get itself together so that any thing definite can be said about It. Four new exhibitors, James Cuthbert, Burton Mansell, Hay Challand and Joe Vine calf, have entered since yesterday. At noon today there were 255 birds entered for the competition for pigeon prizes and eighty odd as show birds upon which no prizes will be given. Yesterday after noon judging was completed in- the farv taii department and awards were made to P. I'. Plamondon. Charles Sheetz and to Ridley and Holmgreen. This after noon Henry Vesper will commence judging parlor tumblers and jacobins. Over on the south side are the tur keys and ducks. The only cujious thing about these is the fact that they escaped fVcoratir.g the Christmas dinner table. They are all big fine looking birds and most of them were shipped in from Berlin, Neb. POULTRY SHOW SIDELIGHTS. What a Person Who "Vi3its the Exhi bition Blight Think. Just why it is called a poultry show is to be guessed at. It is one of the things that cannot be explained. The original intention may have ben good. but ja( k rabbits, souirrels, Chinese quails, tailless rats, nearly everything I except snakes, have got into the game j without a symptom of chips. There, I tied securely to a knot hole, is that in- sane looking accident from Asia, the dark complexioned camel. He wears a choice assortment of warts and a placid smile, which the manager explains, is i not because he enjoys the situation, but because he can't heir) it. How terrible it must be to have to smile when you don't want to! Near his camelness stands, or moves about, a.- he feels --is-posed, an alleged Sacred ox from India, who was borrowed for the occasion, but for no reason than anyone can furnish. Imagine a face like this at a chicken show: This animal runs to humn steak. In general appearance he resembles a two year old Jersey steer wno was run over by a fast freight train at the ten der arre of six months. He is burdened with an ingrowing shape surmoumed with a large chunk of meat, and re minds one of the excellent graham gems mother used to make. The ox of India may be of serious habits and mild tem per, but he is out of place at a hen ex hibit. Some of the birds are also far from home and justly bashful, for in stance Prof. Dyche's Ooo-Goo bird, that freak with tno leathers and a few fea tures cf a hen v,;A the voi-'-e of a s-k guinea. This birrt rewi to be trying to apologize for his ptespnre. It is up to him or his pmetrator to do so. One of the birds introduced into the noisy arena yesterday promptly com mitted suicide. It was a female pheas ant. The poor fowl could not stand for hemftW.e. rccnAT flv. the noise, so crawled between the bars of her cage, flew into the air and struck her head into a window, causing con cussion of the brain. Her mate seems to be contemplating a like finish. Col. J. W. F. Hughes is a part of the show. He is there to show people around, run. the whole works to the best advantage, issue passes to exhibitors and others, see that the hens get their 0 o'clock tea at 3:30, tell new arrivals where to piace their hen coons, name and classify the entire hen family, poke his favorite rooster under the chin, sep arate fowls engaged in an intercollegiate row, do a few hundred others things. and enthuse. As the coione remarked when the supreme court told him that he was no longer the mayor of Topeka, "Sah. I am still a gentleman and the secretary of the Kansas State Poultry association." The propogation and improvement of the feathered pest, which is never in teresting to some people until it is fricasseed, is an art with Col. J. W. F. Hughes. He knows a good chicken when he sees it, and he also knows how to engineer a hen show, minus pigeons, rabbits, doss, sauirrels, rats, camels, deer and beef enimals, vhich do not be long anyway. RUSH FOR PLACES. Inauguration of Gov. Bailey Will Ee a Big Event. Things are moving lively in preparation for the inauguration of Governor-elect Bailey and members of the invitation com mittee are experiencing something like a rush in the demand for invitations. All the state officers receive a considerable number of invitations to be distributed among the out of town friends. These are accompanied by tickets for two persons, and almost everybody wants an invitation for a souvenir. But no one living ia Shawnee county is supposed to receive one of the invitations. The home peoiJle are to sit in the balcony while the outsiders take the best-seats, which is a generous way of arranging things. The stage is to be reserved exclusively for the incoming state officers, the outgo ing state officers, judges of the supreme court, members of the congressional dele, gaticn and their wives. The seats on the stage will be numbered and some person will be in charge of the seating there m order to avoid confusion. Tickets corres ponding to these seat numbers will be Is sued shortly before the governor's party leaves the Copeland. No particular effort to decorate the Au ditorium will be made by the inauguration committee. There are already some decora tions in place and it is expected that some of the Kansas Midwinter exposition drap. ings- will be in place by that time. There will be no opportunity to arrange anything else for the inauguration. Company A of the K. N. G. is to attend to the ush ering. On the south end of the stage is to be placed the orchestra and cn the front rows in the parquet the members of the boys' bugle corps will be seated. The boys will sound a fanfare as the governor's party approaches. Cm the occasion of the governor's recep tion in the evening the entire state house will be opened so that the visitors may look through it. DEMAND IS MADE. 0. B. C. and B. II. T. W ant More Wages from Santa Fe. A committee representing the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen called at the office of General Manager H. U. Mudge of the Santa Fe at 10 o'clock this morn ing, and presented to the Santa Fe Railway company, through Mr. Mudge. a formal demand for an increase of 20 per cent in the wages of the conductors and brakemen, as the State Journal ex clusively announced Monday would be done. The committees were in conference with the general manager for only a short time, and it is stated that nothing was done except to present the demands of the employes. No arguments in sup port of the demands were made. The demand for a 20 per 'cent in crease was made yesterday on every general manager west of Chicago, and TO VISST THE !i i""- :w V- '''ill v- "r .7 I '"''"''jl It v Cruelly disappointed by the faithle.ssn.-ss of I.

Governor Stone's Annual Mes sage Deals With Strike. Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 6. In his message submitted to the legisature today. Gov. Stone devotes considerable space to the reeent anthracite coal strike. He says the strike of the anthracite miners and their associate workmen was the most import ant and far reaching event of its kind that ever occurred in the state and that the ex penses incurred by the state in connection with the disturbances caused by the strike will exceed $1.000, '.-JO. The governor urges the passage of a law to prevent future labor disturbances, as follows: "In my judgment a compulsory arbitra lion law could and should be passed" f v the settlement of difficulties between em ployer and employe. Such a law is entire ly constitutional and feasible from a police standpoint, looking upon strikes as in jurious to the public, harmful to society and destractive to life and property. They are generally settled after all harm has been done. Why should not they be set tled before the harm is done r.nd before large losses occur to life and property? We should recognize strikes as existing evils and as dangerous to the public good and while mindful of the rights of both em ployer and employe, adjust them from a higher standpoint." namely: for the good or society, the preservation of public peace and life and property. When a large strike is settled we delude ourselves with the thought that no more will occur. We should contemplate them as likely to again qpcur with the same resubs as in the past. Without criticising employers or employes, without blaming either, we should so legislate as to prevent the recur rence of these disturbances." Referring to the insurance of children, he says: "1 heartily concur in the opinion of the insurance commissioner that a law should be passed limiting tile amount of insur ance on children to a burial benefit and fixing an age under which they could not be employed." The governor recommends that some ad ditional legislation be passed for the pro tection of children, who, be saya, are. too young to work in factories, but are em ployed in coal breakers, state and stone quarries. He says: "I heartily concur in the opinion of the factorv inspector that it is inconsistent to prohibit a child of 12 years of age from working in a factorv or mercantile estab lishment and allow him to secure employ ment in more dangerous and undesirable places." An appropriation for the Pennsylvania exhibit at the Si. Louis exposition is rec ommended as follows: "If we are to co-operate in an effort to make this exposition a success and if Pennsylvania is to have proper representa tion, it is important that the legislature should at once make an appropriation in keeping with the wealth, population and comparative importance of our state. Verdict Against Rock Island. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 6 Judge Val Hant. in the supreme court, today ren dered a decision holding that foreign corporations, railroads, etc., must pay the same fee for extending their lines within the state as Missouri corpora tions.

SAW BUCK AND BEAU FIGHT Deer Got the Better of His Adversary in a Desperate Encounter. Old hunters have always claimed that while at certain times and under certain conditions a bull moose is an ugly cus tomer to meet, he is not to be compared as a fighter with a buck deer. People unaccustomed to the ways of wild ani mals have generally regarded this as a fable or at least as an exaggeration but Thomas Leach, of Dayton, O., on of a party of Ohio sportsmen who havo just concluded a hunting- trip to St. Croix lake, is now ready to make affi davit to the truth of what the veterans say. He has seen a buck come back to the battleground to gloat over his vie-to--;-. One day last week Mr. Leach was traveling over an old logging road when his attention was attracted by a savage growling in the brush near at hand. H left the road and DrKeeded to investi gate and had gone only a lew rods when he came upon a buck deer and a medium sized bear engaged in deadly combat. It was a fierce battle, the bear using his teeth and claws and the buck his horns and sharp hoofs. The bear was plainly getting the wor3t of it and in a few min utes he turned and lied for his life. In making his escape the bear ran directly past Mr. Leach and was an easy mark, but the deer got away. Mr. Leach dressed, the bear and nuns the carcass in a tree, returning then to camp. Next morning when he went back for the bear there were fresh deer tracks around th tree and ti cat nr r t,. ami waited. In the course of an hour the same warlike buck that had vanquished the bear appeared and began pawing the ground around the tree where his late enemy was hanging. Mr. Leach gave the buck time to gloat a little over his victory and then dropped him with one shot from his rifle. The buck dressed 198 pounds and the bear 235 pounds. New York Tribune. DISCRIMINATION IN RATES. Railroads Give American Manufac turers the Worst of It. Washington, Jan. 6.

Now Heady for Place on the Supreme Bench. Washington. Jan. 6. If existing plans carry some time next month the president will send to the senate the nomination of Gov.

Before open ing fire I gave ample notice to the mili tary authorities to remove the political prisoners and assured the Inhabitants of the town that no injury would be done them.

TAFT. pointment of W. W. Rockhill, the present director of the bureau of American repub lics. There are already many aspirants for the place which will be vacated by Mr. Rockhill. but so far the president has made no choice. It appears that Gov. Taft was offered a place on the supreme bench on the death of Justice Gray, but he felt that affairs in the Philippines were in such state as to require his own presence and attention and he sacrificed the opportunity.

The British commodore, Montgomery, who directed the Anglo-German bombard ment of the fortifications at Porto Ca bello on December 14. gives the follow ing account of the operations. After declaring" that not a single person was killed or wounded in the bombardment the commodore says: 'Considerable misapprehension exists as to the action of the Charybdis. nf the royal navy, and the Vineta, of the im perial German navy at Porto Cnbello. A British merchant ship, the Topaz, which was peacefully lying at anchor in the harbor was boarded at night by Venezuelans and the crew in. their night shirts were hurried ashore. marched through the streets and cast into a filthy prison, where they remained without food or water. Under a strong guard they were marched back to their ship the next day and compelled to lower the colors Hying at her stern. "When I arrived at Porto Cabello, 1 at once demanded an apology and as surances that the act would not be re peated and British subjects and their interests would not be maltreated or in jure:d. In case the demands were not complied with I announced that I should bombard the fort, a thkk walled struc ture withip easy range of our guns, and anothe- battery mounting a few Krupp guns some distance away. In reply 1 was informed that a mob was res)o:isi ble for the outrage and that the mat ter would have to be referred to higher authority. I replied that if a dog 1 owned bit another man I should cer tainly be morally obligated to give sat isfaction. Through the American con sul. I arranged to receive th reply to my communication which had been tele graphed to Caracas. If he hoisted the American ensign I should koanv that the dtmiand had been complie 1 with When the hour Lh ultimatum expired came I saw the ensign hoisted, but it was hauled down again. I waited lasted but a short time and the party returned to the ships. "The Vineta participated in the bom bardment. Instead of a number of per sons being killed only two men were in jured and they broke their thighs in at tempting to escape from the fort." ?fI0RE SUGAR BEETS. Kansas Product More Than Twice as Large as Last Year. While the number of persons engaged in growing sugar beets in Kansas this year was slightly under the number last year, the total tonnage produced in the state wtts two and a half times greater than last year, according to the reports made to Secretary Colmrn. which are used as a basis for paying the bounty on the beets, as provid. d by -the legislature. This voir there are 75 beet growers. while last year tin re were 77. This difference is caused by the fact that last year a considerable- number of persons contracted to raise beets simply to get the required acre age to secure certain experiments. They tixfc no int rest in beet culture. This year every man who raised bey.f 'did so for pront. This is shown' by' the1 fact that 4, 2.V) tons of beets were grown and used for sugar, against 1.747 tons last year. The sugar beet section shifted from Garden City to Lakin. further west. All of the beets were shipped to the sugar factory at Rooky Ford. Bach beet grower is paid a bounty of one dollar a ton by the state. The vouch ers for the bounty have to secure the ap proval of the department of agriculture, but as there is no appropriation for the work. Secretary Ce-hurn has to secure vol untary assistance for it. Last year he sent his daughter. Miss Gertrude Ccburn, to look after the matter. This year Mrs. Henry Hlock, wife of the editor of the Syr acuse Journal, did the work. The appropriation made by the legisla ture two ytars ago for the sugar beet bounty was Slo.lV-1. Last year only $1,747.30 of eit was used, and this year $4,250.70, so tha't there will lie turned baeK into the treasury $4.oel.:.4. An effort will be made to have the appropriation increased, how ever, as it is believed the tonnage can be considerably ine rt ased if the it dustry is gia n c ncouragement.Tho conditions for se curing the bounty are that the beets shall contain not less than 12 per cent of su gar and shall be actually used for making surjar. Fourteen of the 75 growers this year se cured more than $loo each from the state in bounties. One of them secured $3:7.70. Last ye,!!- the same man secured less than one hundred dollars.

It is held that plays derived from suc cessful books appeal to two classes of pecale, one beins the readers of the book, who go to see it in play shape iut of curiosity, and the other the regular theater-goers who make it a point to see everything that holds out promise of good entertainment. If this is so it is easy to understand that tne drama tized version of "David Harum," which is to be made known at the Crawford theater tonight, has proven immensely attractive. Certainly the book has had a tremendous sale the publishers claim over a half million copies and should ali of its readers want to see it in its nlav form its success could not help but be enormous. The opening scene of the play is an exterior. On one side is Aunt Polly s house witn its trenis-coverta veranda and old-fashioned garden. On the other is David's bank, and in the background is the big barn. In this act Harum sells the balky horse to Deacon Perkins, the horse that "could stand without hitchin The second act shows Harum in the office back of the count ing room of the bank and the third act is laid in the sitting room of Aunt Polly's house. The kindly side of Harum's character is shown in this act and in it he tells the story of his visit to the circus with Billy P. Cullom. Mr. Turner's reading of the lines in thi3 scene are said to be exceptionally good. The merry melanse of wit, beautv and song "The Burgomaster," the most pro nounced artistic and financial triumph Chicago has produced in years, is the attraction announced for Wednesday at the Crawford Theater. When it was produced, it was hoped that it might attract sufficiently to pay the running expense of the theater during the sum mer, but like the hen that laid the gold en egg, "The Burgomaster" was the biggest kind of a financial and artistic success: and instead of arousing hut partial interest it became the town tilk and mere of its musical numbers struck the fancy of the street whistlers than any work of this kind recently given in "the windy city." The company is a large one and the scenery and costumes are all new, in fact, a more beautiful and costly outfit will be seen this, the second season of the piece than last year. "Old Jed Prouty" will be presented at the Crawford Theater Thursday. It will be remembered that this beautiful story of New- England life scored such a success here last year when Richard Golden was seen in the title role. This piece has always been played here at tl prices. Manager Crawford announces that the prices have been reduced to 15, 25, 35, 0 and Ti cents. Along with "Rip Van Winkle" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "The Two Orphans" is justly regarded as almost equal in popularity. Of course the two former are American classics while The Two Orphans" is a French story, delightfully told by D'Knnery. one of the greatest of France's playwrights. Miss Kate Claxton and "The Two Orphans" are always synonymous. Miss Claxton appears here in this famous play, which she has revived this season on a brilliant scale, and has met with great success. She still portrays the trials of "Louise," the blind girl, and is said to be supported by a company of unusual merit. New and appro- j priate scenery is carried and a fine performance may be expected here at the Crawford theater on Friday even ing with prices 15, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents. "Two Married Men" is booked to ap pear at the Crawford theater Saturday matinee nd night. Night prices are 15 to 50 cents. Matinee 10 and 25 cents. Death, of Gen. Pearson. Pittsburg, Jan. 6. General A. L. Pear son, past national commander of the Union Veteran Leeion, and one of the founders of that organization, died to day of pneumonia. At the close of the civil war General Pearson was breveted major general for bravery and later was awarded a medal of honor by congress. During the railroad riots of 1S77 he was in command of the National Guard in this city. At th time of his death he was a member of the board of directors of the National Home for disabled soldiers. MISS MORGAN STARTS IT. Her Check for $1,000 Brings Out 20 More of the Same Size. New York, Jan. 6. Miss Anna Mor gan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, Jias sub scribed $1,000 to the fund with which Mme. Eleanor Duse, the Italian actress, proposes to build an Italian national theater on the shores of Lake Albino near Rome. The ground for the theater with gardens was recently donated by Count Frankenstein, a friend of the actress and a liberal patron of thf? arts. Miss Morgan's gift is part of a funl of $21,000 subscribed by twenty-one wo men at the Duse dinner recently given at the Italian embassy at Washington. Mme. Duse has had the plan in mind for several years, and at the dinner sh gave a brief outline to several of tha guests. Miss Morgan, it is said, became interested immediately and said she would be wdlling to contribute if a check would be acceptable. Mme. Duse accepted the offer and Miss Morgan sent her a check for $1,000. She then placed the matter before the other guests of the Italian embassador, and twenty ladies promised to donats like amounts.

ASURES HEAT FORCE Dr. Jlarlatt, of Manhattan, Takes Prominent Tart. Washington Items of Interest to Kansans. Washington, Jan. 6. Among- those in attendance at the .convention of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, held in Washington last week, were a number of former Kan tan?, who since leaving the state have attained more or less prominence- along scientific lines. Most of them are now professors in the big universities of the country. Anions them was Dr. Ernest Fox Kiehols, of Iceland Stanford 'university. Dr. Nichols is a nephew of Adjutant General S. M. Fox, of Kansas. He has achieved considerable prominence by Inventing a machine for measuring- the force of heat the only one known. The machine is so delicate that it will meas ure the heat of a lighted candle for a distance of something like a mile. Dr. Isiehols formerly lived at Leavenworth. Dr. Charles L. Marlatt, formerly of Manhattan, and now first assistant po. mologlst for the government, took a prominent part in the proceedings of th- convention, as did his sister. Miss Abbin Marlatt, professor of household economy in the state agricultural oollege of Rhode Island. Miss Marlatt was born and raised In Manhattan. Others who attended the convention were Dr. Wm. A. Kellerman, formerly professor of botany in the Kansas agri cultural college, and now employed in a similar capacity in the Ohio state uni versity at Columbus; Dr. V. L.

KEYOKES HIS LICENSE Doctor Wanted for Murder Rouses Kansas Medical Board. Pr. Henry W. Roby,' secretary of the state medical board, will shortly bring action to revoke a license to practice medicine granted some time ago to a man peine: under the nanie of Dr. Geo. A. Elliott, but whose real name is said to be Edward Reitzel. He secured the license some time ago on the strength ef a diploma from t tie medical school of the University of Toronto, but it has been discovered that the diploma was not his. Elliott was located at Kansas City, Kan., at the time the license was grant ed, but later he went to Denver and there he cot into trouble and is now a fugitive from Justice. It was this wnich led to the discovery' that he is an im porter. In a letter to the Journal of the lAmcrican Medical association, publish ed in the current number, E. D. Van Meter, secretary of the Colorado state hoard of medical examiners, says that Klliott, or Peitzel. is one of the rankest medical impostors he ever heard of. He ft"t into serious trouble in Denver by pes forming a criminal operation which resulted in the charge of murder against him. Secretary Van Meier has been looking up his record and alleges that in 11 he was convicted or grand larceny end sent to a reformatory at Pontiac, 111. He was let out on parole ancl was next heard of in Niles Citv, Mich., in a hospital there, under the name of Dr. Ocorge A. Elliott, havinsr stolen the medical diploma of a physician of that name m Leamington, Ont. He had a wife- by the name of Adele Comely, a graduate of a Swiss college of midwife ry, and the two came to Kansas City, and from there went to Denver a few months ago. The federal authorities ar rested them for sending improper cir rulars through the mails, and his wife forf-ited her bond and fled to Switzer land. Dr. Van Meter thinks Elliott himself mused p,.r ji r rest in order to pet ti l of h-r.

Prime Minister of Spain During the Late War. lie Had Been Nearly Fifty Years In Public Life. Madrid, Jan. 6. Former Premier Prax-. edes Mateo Sagasta died at 11 o'clock last night in the seventy-sixth year of his age. At half past 6 he had an at tack of heart failure and it was then thought he was dead; he rallied, how ever, and lived for four and a half hours. His funeral probably -will take place next Wednesday. r i i .r- PRAXEDES MATEO SAGASTA. The news of the ex-premier's death created a painful impression through out Madrid. King- Alfonso expressed profound regret. Praxedes Mateo Sagasta was prime minister of Spain during the Spanish- j American war, having been appointed to the leading position in the cabinet in i 1S9T, the year before the war began. He i resigned December 3, 1902, informing the i king that the opposition had treated him i with distrust and discourtesy. Senot Manuel Silvela, a rabid anti-American ist, succeeded Sagasta December 6, 1902. Senor Sagasta, though a native borr. Spaniard, was very foreign in appear ance and as great a departure from the ideal Spanish type as can be imagined. He Was 75 years old and had been nearij fifty years in public life. He survived ail his great Spanish contemporaries, such as General Prim, King Alfonso XII, Martos. Castelar. Campos and Canovas del Castillo. Belonging to the ancient school of politics, he probably owed his numerous successes more to a lack of policy than to any definite plan or reall great dualities. Pie thus drifted from premiership to premiership, until nobody in Spain. least of all himself, knew where he stood politically,' though nom inally he was a Liberal. A Liberal, yet he was oftener called by Queen Regent Christina to form a cabinet in a crisis than any other man in the nation. Starting out in his career as an engi neer, in 1S34 Sagasta was elected to the. constituent tones, and from that time had been a factor in Spanish politics. In l':"i6 and again in 1S66, having taken part in insurrections against the gov ernment, he was imprisoned, but escap ed and was compelled to seek refuse in England and France, the first time with the penalty of execution by the garrote hanging over his head. Returning to Sx'ain after the overthrow of Isabella II, he was appointed minister of the inter ior in General Prim's cabinet and later a minister of state, which office "he had during the brief reign of King Ama deus, havinsr declared in favor of the I monarchy. Under the presidency of Marshal Serrano in lbi4 he was suc cessively minister of foreisn affairs, minister of the interior and president of the council. When monarchy was re established, he pretended to withdraw from public life, but finally gave his ad herence to King Alfonso XII, and un dertook to form a Liberal Constitutional party. The king and Sagasta did not get along well together, however, and when the former concluded he could do with out him the latter went over to the op position and attacked the administra tion formed by Martinez de Campos and Canovas del Castillo. The Castillo cab inet w-as overthrown in and Sagas ta came into power by a compact with Campos, holding the ministerial posi tion until 1SS3, when he was ousted by an adverse coalition. It was on the death of King Alfonso XII., in November, 18S5, that Sagasta came into his position of real power, when the queen regent called him to take charge of the government. The widowed queen, distracted by the alarming conditions then prevailing, early formed the habit of calling Sa gasta to her side in emergencies, and her reign was mainly conducted under the cabinets formed by this astute old statesman. He held on from 1S85 to 1S90. when the Conservatives were re turned to power under Canovas del Cas tillo, only to be followed from 1X33 to 1835 by Sngnsta, who. in turn, was suc ceeded again by Canovas. the assassina tion of whom in 1897 threw the cabinet into Sagasta's hands, though its nom inal head was General Azearraga. Spain's war with the United States was fought under Sagasta's premiership, though through no f-ui.i. of his. for he was then for the sixtli time at the bead of aftaiis in Spain. Again in 1901 Sa gasta was for a seventh time requested to form a cabinet and selected as his colleagues the men who resigned a couple of months before. Among them wis? V( vl.-r. whose enmity Sagasta in cur! ed when he relieve him of com ma nd in Cuba, hut whom he for a time placated by the cabinet position of min ister of war. Big Money Clianpred Hands. Louisville.

The Joint reply of the powers to Castro's qualified acceptance of arbitration was handed to United States ambassadors at Berlin and Lon don today. The note aims to further smooth the way for a settlement, which may possibly be reached without ar bitration. The powers, however, do not abandon any of the reserves con tained in their original proposal. MAY SUE THE CITY. That May Be the Next Move of Water Company. Topeka has refused to pay $?S,000 hydrant rentals to the Toneka Water company, and the company threatens to bring suit to collect the money. An important part of the secret con ference held Monday afternoon between President Charles F. Street, Mayor Parker and City Attorney Spencer was in relation to this proposed litigation. The city officials did their best to per suade Mr. Street not to commence suit Just yet, but to await the outcome of the April bond election. Mr. Street would make no promises, but intimated strong ly that unless the city paid the $28,000 at once, suit would be commenced.. President Street says in speaking of the $28,000 debt which his company wants to collect: "We want our money, that's all. We are not trying to get any technical legal advantage over the city. We are will ing: to enter into a stipulation with the city that the payment of the money shall not prejudice the position which the city has taken with regard to th validity of the company's franchise. W are even willing to have our attorneys ask Judge Hook for an order specially stipulating that the payment of this money shall not in any way be used to the disadvantage of the city in the pend ing litigation." This proposition of President Street does not meet with much favor from the council. They are not only anxious to save any legal rights which the city may have, but if it is to be war between ths company and the city, it is natural that the city should keep back from the com pany all the sinews of war possible. The city is not likely to pay the company any more money than it can help until the pending negotiations are ended. It looks just a little as though the great haste of the company to collect the SS.OOO at this time is because the company is expecting that the water works bonds wdll be defeated, and the company and the city become involved in a fight in the courts. The company apparently wants to take advantage or what may he a lull before the storm, and get the $?.S,000 into its coffers as a war fund. The city has the money to pay ths bill. It is only a ouestion of "ooliev' whether it shall be paid. The city thinks that by paying the hill it may thereby recognize that the company is still do ing business under its oid franchise, and the foundation stone of the city's con. tent ion is that the franchise has ex. pired. The itemized bill is as follows: Balance due $20,005.51 Interest due on $20,005.51 at 7 per cent Six months' rentals for 150 hyd rants at $46.66 2-3 Six months' rentals for 148 hyd rants at $30 Six months' rentals on 18 hyd rants at $50, South Topeka 700.19 3,500.00 3,700.00 450.00 Total J2S.353.7t When the status of the water company is determined by the courts, then the city will of course pay the bill. Mean time it is the plan of the city to con tinue to accumulate money in the water fund, so that when the debt has to be paid the money will be ready to nay it. There is a special levy of from l1 to 2 mills for the parment of water reritals. The city's bill for hydrant rentals amounts to about $20,000 a year. If the litigation with the water company strings along for five or ten years, the fund which the city will have on hand wiil be enormous. But it is not likely that the water company would submit to having its rentals held tin for such a long time. It would either force the city to pay up or it would shut off th hydrants. If the latter course should be followed, it would leave the city with out fire rjrotection. Pensions for Kansans. Washington. Jan. 6. The following pensions have been granted Kansans: Hiram Smith.

French ancl Italians seldom or never eat meat for breakfast. Long experience has taught that the breakfast should be simole and not in clude meat. Many Americans suffer with weak stomachs and more or less illness he j c.use they fail to understand the sim ple and healthful plan or a breaiitast somewhat like the following: A little fruit. A dish ot Grape-Nuts and cream. One or two soft eggs. A cup of Postum Food Coffee and per haps a piec e of hard toast. A man says, "I couldn't go on that until noon." One or two d.U's' trial will teach him a bis volume of facts and make him feel "nt as a lord. There is a de-o underlying and scientific reason. the best argument, however, is the actual experience with such breakfasts. VEST BE h s 1 1 s s u COB! Missouri Senator Insists Put tins to a Vote Resolution Providing for Re moval of Duty on Anthracite. Washington, Jan. 6. In the senate to day Mr. Taliaferro (Fla.) secured the adoption of a resolution calling upon the commissioner of fish and fisheries for all information regarding the sponge fisheries of foreign countries, with the view of encouraging- the industry in the state of Florida. The Vest resolution instructing the committee on finance to prepare and re port a bill removing the duty on an thracite then was considered. Mr. Vest said there is nothing in the resolution that the finance committee can furnish and he could not see the necessity of Mr. Aldrich's resolution, made yesterday, to refer the resolution to the finance committee. "This is no longer a partisan ques tion," said he, "but a question of abso lute humanity." We are not on the verge of a crisis in regard to coal, he said, but we are act ually in it. Women and children have been frozen to death and his only solici tude was "to find a remedy for this dis graceful and outrageous condition of affairs." Senators stood silent and dumb, h said, either afraid or unwilling to take any action answering the appeals of the poor, freezing women and children with a party cry "Stand pat." Nothing is to be clone, he continued, with the sacred elephant of the Dingley tariff law. The senator from Massa chusetts (Mr. Lodge) he declared, had endeavored to administer a homeopatne- tic dose in the shape of a suspension of the duty for 90 days, but if metiieiue is needed at ail, it is allopathic doses. By referring the resolution to the com mittee, he said, it would have no chance to pass. "Don't we know," he continued, "that when we send the resolution to the fin ance committee we send it to its execu tion?" He then said that all he want ed was for every senator to put himself on record. He critcised the Dingley tar iff law and said there was no more chance today, in his judgment, to reduce a sinele dutj' in the Dingley act than for him to carry off the capitol building on his shoulders. If it was a auestion of raising money for the next campaign for president,' that was the end of the discussion. Mr. Aldrich (R. I.) said he desired to make full answer to Mr. Vest, but as Mr. Hoar had given notice that he would speak on his trust bill, he asked that the resolution go over until tomorrow. He took occasion to deny certain state ments made by Mr. Vest, attributed to Mr. Dingley. that the rates of the bill were made unnecessarily high in order (hat reciprocity treaties might be a--)ted. Mr. Nelson asked where the provision reiatine to coal was inserted, and Mr. Aldrich said in the senate. Mr. Vest then said the Congressional Record showed that Air. Allison offered the provision, that it was debated at length and voted upon, the Republicans voting for it and the Democrats against it. He declared that the .Republican, leaders had sat un der the declaration of the secretary of the navy that "he duty on coal "had been sneake'd or smuggled into the Dingley bill." The resolution went over, and Mi Hoar addressed the senate upon his anti-trust bill. ARMY BILL PASSES HOUSE. AVashington, Jan. 6. The vote in the house yesterday having shown that the bill to create a general staff in the army did not command the support of the necessary two-thirds to pass it under suspension of the rules, a spe cial order was brought in from the committee on rules at the opening of the session of the house today, which provided for its consideration. The rule allowed an hour for general de bate. It was not antagonized and upon its adoption the house proceeded to the discussion of the bill. The bill was passed, 153 to 52. SENATOR CLAY'S BILL. Washington, Jan. 6. Senator Clay (Ga.) today introduced a bill to provide for the free importation of commodities controlled by trusts. The bill confers upon the president authority to issue a proclamation suspending the collection of all customs duties on such articles brought from foroiim countries. This provision is according to the terms of the hill to be exercised whenever the president shall become satlsiied that there is a combination intended to cre ate a monopoly by preventing full and free competition in the importation, manufacture, transportation or sale of any commodity or any article of mer chandise or which is intended to en hance the Drice of such articles made. The suspension proposed is to continue as long as the abnormal conditions pre vail. SATED BY WIND CHANGE. Farmer Was Being Carried Against Circular Saw When Mill Stopped. Lanbury, Conn., Jan. 6. The sudden changing of a puff of wind was all that saved William Lee, a Brookfield farmer, frorri death as he was being drawn into the teeth of a swiftly re volving buzz saw today. Lee's private sawmill is operated by a tall windmill and during an idle mo ment he went back of the saw to ad just the machinery. A sudden gust of wind sprang up and set the mill in mo tion so unexpectedly that the farmer was thrown across the carriage a few inches in front of the teeth of the saw. He was being carried against the blade just as a log would be and the saw had cut through his clothing when the wind changed as suddenly as it had sprung up and the arms of the wind mill ceased to revolve and the ma chinery stopped. Lee was completely unnerved by the closeness of the call from death. BURNED UP 81,490. Money Fell Into a Shovel of Coal and Was Thrown Into a Furnace. Pittsfield, Mass., Jan. 6. While shoveling coal into a furnace $1,41)0 in notes of large denomination fell from the waistcoat pocket of John Leavy, a contractor of this city, and were thrown into the furnace. Mr. Leavy had been paid for work on a house in this i-ity and pushed the notes in his pocket. After filling the furnace he missed the money at once. COLGATE HOYT FINED 825.

Colgate Hoyt, who was tried before Justice Oakley on December 27 on a charge of violat ing the automobile speed law, was fined $2F. yesterday. It is said that he will appeal. The motion for a new trial in the case of Cord Meyer, who was convicted of violating the same law', wdll be ar gued at the February term of the county court. STRUGGLE IS Oil. Sixth District Republicans May or May Not Line Up. The adjourned session of the Sixth district caucus will not meet until after supper tonight. This is because some of the members wall not get in until the afternoon trains arrive and they may want to get their bearings before going into the caucus. It is expected that all the Sixth district Republican members of the house will be here to night except W. B. Lockwood of Chey enne, who cannot reach Topeka until tomorrow. The main struggle will be over whether the Sixth district shall or shall not line up for some particular can didate. Dan Dyer of Smith county, the perennial candidate, is trying to get the caucus to declare for him for sergeant-at-arms. J. H. McFarland, his Sixth district opponent, does not want the caucus to tie itself up. He says he is willing to take his chances in the general house caucus and will not ask the Ststh district members to tie themselves to his boom alone. Charles Hall, of Russell, candidate for chief clerk, has no opposition in his home district but he has a fight on his hands wdth T. S. Stover of Iola and "Brick" Mason of Neosho county. J. W. Skinner of Winfield and Geo. Duncan of Arkansas City, the Third district's candidates for sergeant-at-arms, are having as close a contest for the votes of that district as McFarland and Dyer are having in the Sixth. They, too, have a candidate for chief clerk to contend with. Steve Cave, of Haskell county, out in the Seventh dis trict, is also a candidate for sergeant-at-arms and believes he has a good chance to win. Congressman Reeder is here mingling wdth the Sixth district "boys." So is Secretary of State-elect J. R. Burrow and Lieutenant Governor-elect D. J. Hanna. Among the other Sixth district leaders who are here beside the mem bers of the house are Senator Hays B. White of Jewell, R. M. McGonigal and C. C. Evans of Colony: W. C. Purdue, I. D. Young and H. Jermark of Beloit; E. A. McFarland of Lincoln, and others. Lieutenant Governor-elect Hanna an nounced some time ago that he wouid probably make few changes in the sen ate committees. Today he said that the chairmanships would remain as -at pres ent, but there would be slight changes in the memberships of the committees where the members request to be shift ed. "This is a holdover senate," said Lieutenant Governor Hanna today, "and as the committees of two years ago seemed to be generally satisfactory I am not disposed to disturb them." AGAINST OVEREDUCATION. Ian Maclaren Saya No One Should Be Made Useless for His Work. London, Jan. 6. Ian Maclaren, in an address to the Head Teachers' associa tion the other day, dropped a hint against overeducation, which finds many sympathizers in this country. No one, he said, ought to be educated beyond his measure and thus rendered useless for his natural work. On the other hand, no one should fail to re ceive that education, however advanced or costly, which his talents deserve. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. J. W. Lutes, formerly of 'North Topeka, and now of Morris avenue, Lowman Hill, died yesterday at the family home of pneumonia. Mrs. Lutes contracted a heavy cold Christmas from which she never recovered.

Hogs Take a Brace and Move Up a Notch. Chicago, Jan. 6. WHEAT There was only a moderate trade in wheat today and opening prices were about unchanged, May being unchanged to a shade higher, at 73Vi-s75?sC to 75gC. Steady cables and small receipts were bull influences, while the weather was favorable for the movement, but prospects were for more unfavorable weather in the northwest. Local traders favored the buying side, but the support from other sources was lacking and in con sequence the market eased off, May selling down to 754''a'75'ic. 'Minneapolis and Du luth reported receipts of 37b cars, which, with local receipts of 56 cars (1 car of con tract grade), made total receipts for the three points of 434 cars, againist 3s6 cars last week and 384 cars a year ago. During the greater part of the session the market lacked any material support and May sold off to 75'a7518c, but later on a good cash demand, a rally ensued, and the close was strong, with May He higher, at 753s'u75Sc, the top figure of the day. CORN Strong cables and smaller re ceipts than were estimated caused a stror.s tone in the corn pit and the opening was firm, with May a shade to Vc higher, at 43Se to 43t43l4c. There was a good de mand from provision interests and for ex port account and the market held firm. The strength of the January option was one of the principal bull factors. Local re ceipts were 5JS cars, with one car of con tract grade. The close was strong, May being ifc higher, at 43Vf ie. OATS Quietness prevailed in the trading in oats and opening prices were steady. May being unchnnged to a shade higher, at 34S34Hc to 341sc. A good cash demand and smaller receipts than had been antici pated were the strengthening factors. May was in good demand from commission houses, but offerings were rather limited, and the price held steady around the open ing figures. Local receipts were 3cii cars. PROVISIONS Provisions opened strong on higher prices for hogs. There was a good demand from packers for May pro ducts and January was also in fair de mand. May pork opened 12"'ifa,15c higher, at $lG.07V4rl5.10; lard was up 10c. while ribs were from 5(cfl0c higher, opening at $S.62Ve &S.67'-i.

I President Street addressed the meet- inf in his usual frank and manly way, and. set forth fully the position which tiie company has taken. "We want peace," tie said, "and we are willing to pay the price. The ordi nance which you passed in l.f'7 reducing rates fja ter cent, was a war measure with you. You were th--n tii--htiiig the company. If you are still satisfied with that ordinance we wii! accept it, wilh a very few minor changes to which 1 be ll' ve you will readily consent. We wih rdso aiiree to extend our mains into th" dry districts. We will further trice you tii" riht to purchase our plant once ca ry ten years. We offer these things ht cause' we want peace. We expect v-v that you ask, or have asked a reduc tion in rates, extension of mains and opportunity to purchase every tenth year. We don't care how you arrive at "the value of the plant, just so it is fair to all of us. Another thing which in fluences us to want peace is so that the city can pay us that $.'S,000 which it owes as water rentals. There is no dispute about that bill, and we would like to have the money." Mr. Street also stated that the stock holders of the Topeka Water comiiany are now in physical possession of a majority of the .stock of the company, and that whatever they say in re-yard to a sale goes. He said that if the city voted to buy the plant, the title could now be cleared up within a very short time. Many of the councilmen asked Mr. Street questions which he answered with great fkill and diplomacy. "Suppose we make no agreement with you now," said one councilman, "and suppose the bonds failed. Would you be willing to renew this offer you have made'."' "I don't know," said Mr. Street. "Put I am always for peace, you un derstand." The irf--renoe was that the offers would be renewed on the same condi tions proposed now; viz., that the com pany's franchise be recognized as valid. "Why do you want us to take action now?" queried City Attorney Spencer. "Why did you come clear out here at this time to make these propositions?" I "I i true out here at the request of the mayor," said Mr. Street. "1 am not very particular for you to take action row. 1 judged that the city wanted to he in a pesiiion to show the people of j Topeka what would Vie the alternative cf pot buying the plant. I was inform- ed that tiie city wanted te know just I what concessions the company would nial.e in case the bonds should be de- feat d. I! sides, tins seems to me to be an opportune time to settle all these matters." "I have I times," sal us an alte .see why tl know that of weight CUBAN SENATE 10 RECONVENE JANUARY 20 ask?d Mr. Street a dozen 1 Mayor Parker, "to make native proposition. I can't is isn't a simple matter. I it would have a great deal with me if I knew the com- ?eiy would reduce rates 20 tier cent." Mr. Street left tiie council in a very dilemma.

This was the question puzzled thoe members of the council v. 'ho think the price of the !:'t is too hierh. City Attorney Sp'-ncer was evidently opposed to aooe -pun.'?; ihe proposed con cessions at the ruiee specified. "You ask us to buy peace." he sai l to Mr. Street, "at the price cf tying our selves up for another twenty years to that franchise which has just expired. You talk about restula ting rates. I say that a lily can't regulate rates of cor porations. The corpora tions file no re ports, or If they do fil ihem they are not worth anything. And then when yeai go to mixing up with hydraulic or gas engineers, well, you might just as well quir. for I toil you you're up against it. I know how that is." Mr. Spencer spok" with great feeling, for he is just now "mixed" with the aas company rate case and finds it very hard sledding-. As nearly as cou'd be gathered from the remarks made by various council men, the active opponents of Mr. Street's propositions are Weber, Griley, Wolf. Nichols. Neil and Snyder. Bir gundthal and Blanch seemed to be rafiw er wavering, while Swendson. P.lossom, Howe and Tincher will probably favor the m-"sure.

V on th waterworks City Attorney Spencer stated to the members of the council that Judge Mc Farland h od prepared an opiinion on the legal pOaases of the waterweirks case, and that as city attorney he was pre i paring a statement of his views to ac company them, and when the two were i ready, a copy would be presented to each councilman. It is likely that these opinions are intended to brace up those members who are inclined to show their teeth at the water company's proposl tions. Mr. Spencer and Mr. MeFarlanil I both think the city could win that law suit. The meeting adjourned without any action. If no meeting is held until Feb ruary it really will not make much dif ference from a financial standpoint to the people of Topeka whether rates are reduced before election or after, as the election occurs on April 7. President Street expects to leave for New York today. J. W. O'Neill, receiver of the water cornpnny, says: "It is all up to the city council now. They know exactly what Mr. Street will do, and they must decide what they want." Topeka is about to grant another 20 year franchise. This time it is to a new "desiccating" company, which pro poses to er"ct a $(0.ooo odorless estab lishment which will convert into fertil izer and other marlvetable prorluets all manner of refuse from ashes and dead h-aves to kitchen sl ip and the contents Of cesspools. A glowing i-epnrt of a special commit tee of the city council which went to Vinoennes. Ind.. recently to investigate the riant there was read to the council iast night. This committee, consisting of Councilmen Nichols, Griley and Wolf, recommended flatly that the council grant the company a 20-year franchise. An ordinance authorizing the council to enter into a 20-year contract with the firm was Introduced, read and re ferred to a special committee consist ing of Councilman Tincher. Griley, Nichols, Neil. Weber and Howe. If the investigating committee is cor rect in its opinion as to the success of the proposed system of disposing q garbage, the city should not hesitate a moment to enter into the proposed con i tract. The only question is, has the committee- been misled? The city has i so often been fooled by fair promises of garbage plant promoters that it should act with the greatest care and deliberation before binding itself to a i 20-year contract. j Topeka now has a seven-year contract with a so-called desiccating compeeny which is a dissrrace to the town. This company agreed and contracted to dis pose of garbage bv "clesiccatine-" in a i perfectly odorless manner.

The same condition exists at Topeka. The plant, after being erected will pass into the control of a. orivate corttora tion. The present management of that corporation may be all right, but the city has no assurance that the present management will retain control. Why not find out what t-tie experience of some of t.e other 12 cities which have these plants is before we act upon what the committee found to be the condition at Vineonnes? The report of the committee in full is as follows: "Your committee to whom was referr ed the attached communication from the Topeka Desiccating; company in regard to the garbage question, etc.-., beg leave to make the foilowine; report: "We visited the garbage reduction works at Vincennes. Ind., which is op erated tinder the International Waste Utilization company system, and found his plant in full operation, every tank b(ing filled with garbage and dead ani mal", from which there was no pre cepitible odor emanatinji from the ma chines in opirration, the only odors ap parent arose from the stock of fertil izer and greases that were ready for market.

P.espectfuliv submitted. "II. S. NICHOLS. "JOSEPH GRILEY. "C. V. WOLF." The new company wants a contract very similar in general form with the existing franchise of the Topeka Desic cating company. It provides that the following shall be the maximum sched ule of rates for disposing of refuse: Horses and cattle $2.00 Hogs and calves 50 Dogs, fowls and cats 10 Itotten eggs, per barrel of 4 cubic feet 15 Cesspool contents and night soil, 40c per barrel or per cubic yard 2.70 Ashes per cul.de yard 30 Stable manure 50 Decayed straw, hay, cleanings, etc., per load of one cubic yard 7b Refuse and garbage not specified, per cubic yard 7?j Ib use slops and garbage per barrel of two bushels li The most radical change in the char acter of the proposed plant is that it will, it claims, make a systematic effort t collect kitchen garbage and slop from p; ivate houses. Householders will le provided with a tin tank to hold refuse, and when the tank is full it will bu hauled away and a clean tank left in its place, the charge for that service beinK 15 cents. This is a reasemable charger for a valuable service, unci it would no doubt prove very popular in Topeka, where at the present time there is no means cf disposing of kite hen garbage. ANOTHKR RA1SK IN PAY. Councilman Swendson, who fathers most of the moves for increasing the pay roll of the city, introduced an ordi nance last niirht increasing to $1.7," the wages ct laborers on the street force, and to S:s.oO the wages of teamsters. The present wage is $.1.50 arm $3 respectively. The ordinance was read and referred to the committee, on streets and walks. Councilman Swendson wants to be a candidate for mayor some day, and he is not averse to accumulating campaign thunder nt the expense of the city. "I have found." he said to a reporter for the State Journal, "that the wages of the street force have not been in creased since 1?83. I think it is time that they were given a raise." It is not claimed that the laborers on the str"et foice are not now receiving the highest wages paid in Topeka for common labor. The $1.00 wages is the union scale, and the city requires eight hours a day. the union hours.. It is also generally admitted thai a job on the street force is a "snap" compared itli working for private parties, and there is always a great scramble to get onto that payroll. It would no doubt be a fine thing for Topeka to -,-aise the wages of its street fore?. Th.-y need it much worse than do the members of the city council and the mayor. Put with the city financer, in such shape that bonds are to be is sued to pay current expenses, it looks very much like unwise and extrava gant business policy. EXIT BELL PHONES. The council took a right hand punch at the Pell Te'.enhone company last i night, and voted to have taken out of I Si rviee sever, of the ten Bell phones I now in use. The six which will be re i moved before February 1 are these: mayor's office, mayor's residence, city i clerk. c4ty attorney, city engineer, elec tion commissioner and city electric light plant. The phones which will stay in are the police department, fire department and health department. These phones it is deemed best to keep in place, owing to the large amount ot business transacted over them. The object of the city in making this move 13 to farce the BelIcompany to give the city free use of the telephone as the Independent Telephone com pany does. It has been fsund that the Independent lines are entirely satisfac tory without the large expense invoked in keeping the Bell phones In place. LIMIT IS SET. According to a resolution introduced by Councilman Weber and passed without opposition, the council will not consider any paving petitions present ed after February 1, 1903. It does not follow, however, that the council will grant them even if they are presented before that date. The fact is that the council now has pigeonholed more paving petitions than it will grant this year. The petitions will be taken out after February 1, and then the fight will begin to see which ones will be favorably acted upon. The follow-ing paving resolutions were adopted last night, for pavementa j authorized before the council com- j menced to hold up the petitions: Tylet i from Huntoon to Fourteenth, by i Weber; Harrison from Huntoon to Huntington, by Howe; Tyler from Twelfth to Huntoon, by Neil; Kansas avenue from Tenth to Thirteenth, by Wolf. WILL ISSUE BONDS. As has been exclusively announced in the State Journal, the city will ask the legislature for authority to issua bonds to pay off the floating debt. A resolution instructing the city attor ney to prepare such an act was intro duced by Councilman Howe and adopt ed. The resolution says that the city shall be authorized to issue bonds not to exceed $40,000. Nothing is said about interest, but it will doubtless be 5 pet cent. NO ECONOMY IN DECEMBER. The appropriation ordinance carried the following items: General revenue fund 4,436.66 Fire department fund 594.90 Police department fund 293.9.1 General improvement fund.... 1,721.9.1 Park condemnation fund 157,2 1 Library fund 1,902.63 Sidewalk fund 1,913. OS Paving fund 8.810.82 Sewer fund 1,855.14 Total $21,686.31 As shown above, the amount of $7, 047.52 was the current expense bill oi tha city for the month of December. To this must be added, however, the sum of $7,960.09 appropriated for De cember salaries before Christmas, mak ing the total current exnenses far the month $15,007.61, which is much higher i man usual. THAT DYNAMITED COW. Mrs. Eliza Ray. whose cow ate dynamite and made her will, had another innin?? last night. She wanted $25 for the de ceased cow. The sanitary committee investigated the claim and moved that it be rejected. Councilman Griley wanted to pay the bill because he thought that the city was at fault. Sanitary Sergeant Vanderpool said that the well diggers who had the dyna mite claimed that it was a physical im possibility for the cow to get at the dyna mite, and besides that the cow was sicK when the well diggers were at work. "Will dynamite kill a cow?" asked Coun cilman Wolf. "Ask the city attorney," chipped in somebody. The council rejected the claim. -Hi.NOH MENTION. j C. L. Vanderpool requested the council to allow him $5 a month for car fare. The council referred the matter to the sanitary committee, with instructions to try to pre- i vail on President C. C. Baker to give Mr. 1 Vanderpool a book of free tickets. A petition for pavement on Topeka are- nue from the end of the existing pavement to the north line of Huntington ave. th,: pavement to be 45 feet wide and to be curbed with Allen stone and paved with Capital City.Coffeyville or Lawrence brick. to Pouthitt avenue, and 35 feet wide from Douthitt to Huntington. The Twenty-third Regiment band wan granted the use of the Auditorium for a concert on February 6. The street commissioner reported that the white wings carts are in bad repair and asked for a conference with the streets and walks committee on thai subject. The use of the council chamber was granted to the Kansas State Co-operative association for a meeting on January 2'.' and 30. The action of the city attorney in com- mencing quo warranto proceedings agains: the gas company, was approved, and the city is pledged to stand back of the nnan- -ciai part of thtisc proceedings. The communication of Clark Hendricks of Riverside, Cab. offering to sell the city a dynamite cyclone buster, as reported in the State Journal, was read to the eoun- cil amid considerable laughter and ordered I filed. Dead. i The council adjourned sine die. which does not mean permanently, but only until j the first Monday in February, unless called j together for a special meeting. I i ajBiiZ.

I suffered acutely at times and I have often been confined to my bed for a week or ten days at a time. The Pain was so intense that I could not move and the kidney secre tions became very distressing and an noying, particularly at night when my rest was much disturbed. Various rem edies I tried gave me little relief. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised I pro cured them at Rowlev Snow's drug store.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 0, 1903. 1OIE8G HtLfciiiryt iJome w OW much we sometimes can learn 1. 1 from the programme of a thea i 1 ter! If 1 go to a performance and am at sea as to what I am witnessing. I turn to the pro gramme, and, even though I may doubt my eyes, 1 am sure to he safe if I take on faith what I see there printed. This trouble assails me now. and In self de fense I assert that, according to the programme, "When Johnny Comes Mrchini; Home" is a "ppectacular mili tary opera." In the days written of in the book of this spectacular military opera" this might have been considered a grand snectaclo. but vh.it our progen itors were fed on was theatrical pap as compared with the heavy diet wmch tve now digest without an effort.

Can I, then, be expected to enthuse over the illuminated tableaux of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" or over the very animated fireflies and rippling wa ter when today in many big produc tions nature is almost ashamed to see how cioseiy she is imitated? The producers of this new little-"S. M. O." are cfl'm :.ng to an overfed public some of the r:.p of our ancestors. The good natuied New York public swal lows a little and smiles, hut it very soon gets enough. The Whitney Opera com pany as seen in "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is a fair sample of llprht opra people, and the music by Julian Edwards is tuneful and swiney. There was another being responsible for "Johnny." It was Stanislaus Stance, and I was astonished to find that the author of "Doily Varden" has fallen so far short in this latest effort There is no story.

Fiske To Be Seen In a v 59 dered choruses, a stage full of northern uniforms and .hoopskirted southern giris, with a sprinkling of the never failing darky, make up a picture which is not tiresome, but passes with the falling of the final curtain, never to be thought of again. That is "When John ny Comes Marching Home." The tenor. William G. Stewart, is too stout and his voice is too frequently absent for success. Cordelia Allen (Maude Lambert) is very pretty and cute in her talking song, but I was glad she had to talk it, for her voice would never make Patti fear. Kate Pemher ton (Zetti Kennedy) can send forth some sweet high notes and also look at tractive, but that is not enough for a prima donna of a company, and so on the shoulders of Lucille Saunders fails the burden of the women. Her shoul ders are, en passant, tine ones and do their duty nobly. The only solo to my mind worth hearing in the entire even ing was one sung by her "Tears Touch Not the Heart." The effect would be much enhanced if she stood while sing ing and enunciated more clearly. I could not catch one word. Uncle Tom (Will H. Bray), with a chorus, gave a pleasing rendition of "My Honeysuckle Girl." The only "comedy," with an abject apology to the good old word, was furnished by George Backus as Jona than Phoenix. He was a cross between an antebellum trapredian out of work and a spy. Don't ask me which side he fe't k-;summ-m. ..-MP iMnu.1 tO) was on; it Is too much for me, and you would have to pass it. Pretty scenery, pretty girls, very accurate and pictur esque costumes, with military uniforms, are all there is to it, except that the music is too good for .the book. There was not a southern uniform or man ex cept behind an illuminated gauze drop, and I am sure General Lee would turn in his grave if he could have seen the counterfeit presentment of himself. Mrs. Flake In Shakespeare. It surprises not only the average the atrical manager, but the average reader of the theatrical gossip published in tha daily newspapers of the country, to en counter people in what is irreverently refarred to as the "show business" who tell the truth and the truth only in an nouncements concerning their plans. For instance, a couple of years ago it was announced that when Mrs. Fiske should have secured her own theater she would in due course give at least two Shakespearean plays "Macbeth" and "Twelfth Night." Last season when Mrs. Fiske through the enterprise of her husband, Harrison Grey Fiske, came into possession of the Manhattan theater in this city and did not make the announced Shakespearean produc tions the interests opposed to independ ent eftort in the drama lost no opportu nity to point out that America's great est actress was very much like other weak mortals. In short, that her an nouncements, like those proceeding from these same interests, were made merely for their effect upon the public. But a new element had been intro duced into American theatricals. They could not understand that Mrs. Fiske was in earnest, Is always in earnest and that for presswork in its modern sense she has no usa whatever. Therefore was it that they were surprised a short time ago when it was definitely stated that Mrs. Fiske will continue through out tha present season la "Mary of Magdala" at the Manhattan theater, will give the same play in the impor tant cities of tne country next season and ior the following year will confine her attention to the two Shakespearean productions long since promised. Lady Siacaeth and Viola. As Lady Macbeth there can be no question that Mrs. Fiske will score heavily. It is a thoroughly psycholog ical role, though the efforts of some latter day actresses would not seem to warrant that assertion, and it is in characters of this sort that Mrs. Fiske's best work is shown. Concerning her adaptability to the role of Viola in "Twelfth Night" there may be differences of opinion, but it is certain that if this trancendent genius undertakes it the production and her acting will be worth going miles to see. There have been few really good Violas in the modern history of the English speaking stage, and it is possi ble that that fact has influenced Mrs. Fiske in her selection. Besides, the League For the most scholarly critics of this country ha'e been almost a unit in declaring that there was in every Viola they have seen a something- lacking, and that something a quality which materially marred the thorough appreciation of the moods of this most attractive of Shakespeare's heroines. But, after all, just think of It, ye groundlings, with your scene chewing, marionette manipulating methods and your machine made plays in which the stage carpenter and machinist and the light man are the most important fac tors! Think of it! How many of you would have the courage to undertake in rapid succession two such widely diver gent roles as Viola and Lady Macbeth? Numbers of actresses are fairly good in one particular line of work exactly suited to their capabilities, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say to their limitations. But when it comes to versatility such as this there must be real greatness behind it. And that there is the interests most opposed to Mrs. Fiske in a professional way have at last grudgingly been compelled to admit. GRACE W. ELTON. New York. IRVING WANTED ONE TOO. Sir Henry Irving greatly values per fect frankness in any one. Although a strict disciplinarian, he is always an attentive listener to a reasonable ex cuse for unpunctuality, and the man who owns up candidly to a fault may generally count on the knight's cour teous leniency. One very hot day at the Lyceum the ater, London, matters came to a dead lock during a most tiring rehearsal of "Robespierre" through the nonappear ance of Charles Dodsworth, who should have been in the wings ready to play his part. "Dear, dear! Where's Dodsworth?" queried Sir Henry, wiping the perspira tion from his brow. "Really, you know. this is too bad. Where can he be? And we are all so tired!" In two or three minutes Mr. Dods worth made a hasty appearance and a: once perceived that the rehearsal hac been stopped on account of his absence. "Ah, Dodsworth, there you are! Bui where have you been?" asked Sir Henri with Just a faint note of reproach li his tone. The belated actor made no attempt tt defend himself, but, expressing sorrow for the inconvenience he had caused candidly admitted that he had "jus slipped out for a seltzer lemonade." "That's good, Dodsworth," said Sii Henry, fanning himself with his hand kerchief. "I wish I had. But get tf work now. my friend. We are all sc tired and hot!" NEW GERMAN OPERA.

There Are No Secrets of State Nowa days. Lord Newton, who for some years held the post of attache in the diolomatic service, principally as secretary at the embassy in Paris, shocked the old-fashioned members of the house of lords with iconoclastic views on official se crets. "There are. in fact," he said, "no such things as official secrets. They do not exist. The dispatch boxes which follow the foreign representative wher ever he goes, and are guarded as if they contained earth-shaking mysteries.rare ly contain anything which the world does not know. The boxes, which are carried by king's messengers to the ut termost parts of the world, contain very little that is really secret, and most of the facts may be expected to appear in the press the next day." These "revelations" were made while inviting the secretary for foreign affairs to make a statement with reference to Sir Horace Rumbold's recent article in the National Review, and to explain that there was no imputation 011 the character of the ex-ambassador at Vi enna. Lord Lansdowne justified the an swer given by the under secretary in the house of commons on November 13. in which the publication was described as indiscreet and reprehensible. The took of reminiscences written by Sir Horace Rumbolo might be described as innocuous, but the Review article con tained an account of a conversation with the Emperor of Austria and com munications with the Austro-Hungarian government on a subject of importance and delicacy affecting the name of Queen Victoria. Sir Horace's dispatches on these sub jects were marked "confidential." and the foreign office itself would not have been justified in publishing them with out the consent of the Austro-Hungarian government. If that was necessary for the foreign office it should also have applied to Sir H. Rumbold, who ought to have asked the consent of the for eign office. The foreign office is about to issue a new regulation, which will make it clear that members of the dip lomatic service must not publish obser vations on service matters or informa tion obtained in the course of their of ficial duties without the consent of the foreign office, and further that the od ligation of secrecy continues equally af ter retirement. London Mail. SAGACITY OF A DOG. Setter Found His "Way Two Hundred Miles to His Home. Benjamin Pepper, messenger of the police court, received word from West Springfield, Mass., that a setter dog, wearing a collar bearing his name, had been stopped there because of its almost exhausted condition and was being held awaiting further orders. Back of this lies a story of a dog's remarkable sa gacity. The dog in question was taken in by Mr. Pepper's wife at the time of the big blizzard in 1888, when it came near per ishing in the sto-rrn, and after that time refused to leave the house. Its owner finally gave it to Mr. Pepper, and he in turn tave it to a man who lives in the s?me house with him, but the dog has ever since practically been a member of the Pepper household. Last summer its owner sent it to friends in New Hampshire, living at a point 200 miles distant from Hartford, because he felt that he could not keep it well in the city. Recently he received word from his New Hampshire friends that the dog disliked the constant handling he had received from the chiK dren in the family there and had de camped. One day he made a bee lino for the railroad station with grim, de termination evident in every action and. taking to the railroad track, headed in the direction of home, despite all efforLa to call him back. That was the last that was heard of him until word arrived that he had reached West Springfield. How he ever found his way all that distance with the many branches he encountered on the railroad he started to follow is a mystery. But he managed it, as is evi dent from his arrival, and he will now be brought to Hartford and will, in ah probability, pass the remainder of his days here, as he deserves to. Hartford Post. T. A. A.

'Young couples gather here night after night; they giggle and giggle and spoon and spoon in the darkness as a resuit I have chronic nausea. Electric lights will dispel this nuisance." "Electric lights did dispel the lovers to more secluded corners. But instead, on warm evenings came mothers with crying infants, lulling them to sleep while they consoled each other on the difficulties of raising children. The lights also attracted bugs and bats. These pests annoyed Lippart and he had to keep his windows closely screen ed. 'I suppose, Lippart,' I said to him one day, 'you now are rid of your spoons and nausea.' 'Yes.' he answered gloomily, 'but in stead I have to contend with bawls and bats.' Detroit Free Press. The Golden State Limited Leaves Topeka every evening at 6:09, arriving Chicago 10:30 a. m..

THE BOARD DISAGREES Apparently a Wide DiTersity of Opinion on Situation. Dr. Embree Says City Can't Sustain What It Has. The board of education met last night. It wag not a quiet session. The trouble only amounted to a tempest in a teapot but even that was too much of a jar on the sedate nerves of the members and too much of a travesty on the usual peaceful tenure of board meetings so th session adjourned rather early before there could be any blood shed. The dispute was over the bond propo sition for new school buildings. The discussion was regarding the manner in which the bond proposition should be submitted. The majority favored sub milting the proposition In a lump sum for $131,500 and other members favored cutting it up and allowing the voters to ballot on each separate school building In the list. At a previous meeting the board de cided to submit the proposition for an additional high school building, two grade school buildings in the First ward, one grade building in the Second ward and an addition to the Potwin school and to have the high school and grade school propositions separate. At last night's meeting W. H. Wilson started the trouble by a motion to re consider the former action of the board. After some squabbling the motion car ried, by a vote of seven to three. The members voting to reconsider were Priddy, Wilson, Wilder, Bonebrakrr, Kodgers, Keith and Mallory. Thoe voting not to reconsider were Embree, Barber and Roudebush. Wilson then offered a resolution to the effect that a proposition be submit ed to the people asking for bonds to the amount of $131,500 for new school build ings. This started the trouble. There was some opposition by those who thought that the people should have a chance to vote on the high school and the ward school separately. "Such a proposition would introduce sectional feeling," said Mr. Wilder. "We had better have it a city matter, not a ward matter." "We are not dictating to the people what they shall have," said E. E. Roudebush. "We are the pprsons who know what is needed," said A. A. Rodgers, Dr. A. S. Embree said: "I believe I the uniting of the two propositions ua fair. It giv.3 the people 1,0 choice, j Citizens siiouid not vote by compul sion. I can not see how we can mam tain anothvr high school. Til not vote j for it. Our present high school cost us $1S, 234.9a last month, not countii;;; I the salary of the principal. You pro i pose an increase wiuie we are now un 1 hie to maintain our present schools. 1 We can not cut the teachers' salari1. i T: achers are paid more, east and wct, j than in Topeka. We have a dc-;icit j now. Eet the people have a chance to show their opinions." I "T believe in progress," said Mr. I Wilder. "It is suicide for the city to say we have reached the limit. I doubt if the voters are in as good a position I to decide what schools we need as the j members of the board. I do not be i lieve in trespassing on providence but I believe in tle saying that providence sometimes helps those who help them selves." "When we had DO teachers we were confronted with the same conditions as now." said .Mr. Wilson. "Our teach ing force is now 170 and we have been i able to meet the expense." E. E. Roudebush opposed the resolu- tion. In his remarks he said: "I am not fighting the new high school." I "You have opposed it from the start," said Rodgors. Mr. Roudebush then attempted to explain his position in opposition to I the high school. The resolution was adopted by the same vote as the mo tion to reconsider. When the board was called to order there were but four members present, Priddy, Rodgers. Wilder and Mallory. j Small matters like a minority instead of a quorum make no difference to i th1 board and the 'meeting began. Eater, one by one, the members from j the rural districts drifted in. I Dr. S. S. Embree, chairman of the teachers' committee, moved that the old schedule for the payment of prin cipals in schools of six rooms or less be put into force and the four mem hers, including three reporters and the clrk managed to vote it through. This means that a few principals who were allowed an increased salary on account of th" crowded condition of their school buildings by the use of base ment rooms will be returned to the former salary according to the adopted schedule. "Would this lie legal with only four members present?" asked Priddy from North Teeka. The member from the North side had no business asking such pointed ques tions, and he was sat down u;on. Then began the usual farce of the re port of the finance committee. P. t. Bonebrake. the chairman, began reading the bills as usual. As fast as he read one bill he went to the next, something alter this manner: "Mr. Kemnton $"0 for work" (no one knew what kind of work): "H. V. Dorlce. approved by Mr. Stewart." (The amount was not given and what the bill was for was a mys tery.) The reading continued with the board holding clandestine conversations and no one knowing or caring what the bills were for. Just for an innovation Mr. Bonebrake asked what the schools wanted of a barrel of gasoline. It seemed that i scheme to unearth a p'ot had been dis covered until he found that gasoline is used to run the engine in the heating and ventilating plant at Sumner school. Then Priddy and Wilson had a. squabble over oil. Whether it was hair, floor or lubricating oil was not known. Then Edward Wilder announced that Iff CUD' .I1H CIO When the stomach is weak the whole system becomes weak also, because it is from the stomach we receive strength. Besides weakness, you also sutler from Loss of Appetite, Nausea, Headache, Indigestion, Constipation and Liver Troubles. For these complaints you cannot take a better medicine than Hostetter's Stom".::h Bitters. It posi tively cures. Try a bottle and satisfy yourself. HOSTETTER'S STQr.IfiCH BITTERS he had thought for some time that the mode and procedure of allowing bliis was all wrong; that the finance commit, tee knew nothing about them until the members of the committee assembled at the meetings. He offered a motion that all bills must be presented on the Friday preceding- the first Monday in eacti month, in order to be allowed at the regular monthly meeting. The motion carried. Then Mr. Bonebrake raised a point of order about the coal being- furnished the schools. He said he understood that it is not fit to burn. The bill for JaOO for coal was held up. Mr. Bonebrake was appointed a com mittee on arbitration to see what he could do with the coal contractors. COOK MAKING READY. Sheriff Will Devote His Time to Farm When He Retires. Sheriff Cook and Tils force are prepar ing to relinquish their official titles next Monday at noon to A. T. Lucas and his deputies. Sheriff Cook w ill keep his residence in Topeka at 1110 West street but he will look after his farm 17 miles northwest in Jefferson county. Sheriff Cook bought a pair of good, oak soled, grain leather topped bis boots not long ago. He has been beaking them in ready for his farm work. Part of the time he spent breaking them in he was in the district court room and every time the sheriff moved the creaking of the boots stop ped the wheels of justice momentarily. Mr. Lucas and his family will take up their official residence in the apartments in the front part of the county jail.

The stage had lost four or five min utes through the obstinacy of a balky horse, the animal, with unusual per ceptive faculties, having selected that oart of Fifth avenue a little below Twenty-third street, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the hour when traffic is at its height for his sulky fit. The driver of the stage sat patiently waiting for the carriages in front of him to move. "I discovered a plan a few years ago for starting a balky horse," said he. "that never failed me. It doesn't hurt the horses, either I don't believe In anything but kindness with 'em it simply startles them, and they forget all about their balkiness." The passenger beside him looked in terested, and the driver continued: "I had a horse that made a Dractice of balking at the foot of a hill. Nothing would start him, and we finally found that if there were any hills on the road we miirht as well not take that horse on that trip. One day I forgot this however, and the result was as usual. The animal refused to budge when he came to a hill just a little rise in the road, in facf. I had a piece of strong cord in my pocket, and I made a slip noopp, tied it to the horse's tail, passed it through a ring in the harness and brought it back to the wagon. Then 1 gave the cord a good, smart pull. Well, you ought to have seen the way that horse went up the hill. I got hold of the reins just in time, or there'd been a nin-awa.- sure." "How about the next time he came to a hill?" asked the passenger. "There wa'n't no more hills for that horse. He just naturally wiped 'em off the slate. Whenever he came to a hill after that he'd bolt up it as though the devil was after him. I guess he remem bered the cord all rieht. And the best part or" the game was that the cord scheme wouldn't have hurt a fox terrier. It just gave the horse a new line of thought." N. Y. Mail and Express. HALE DENIES IT.
