Stanley Develops Unexpected Strength. His caucuses Indicate That Supporters Are Loyal. li:lam makes a talk givs He Has No Second Choice for Senator. Eecruits for the Stanley Con tingent Daily Arriving. Ftaniey is the first candidate in the senatorial fight to get his men together in cjUi'US. He seems to trust in the members rather than in political man aeers. Tuesday he had a dozen merr. bets in caucus out of forty members in town. Wednesday he had six other s added to the dozen cut of fifty members in town. This afternoon there is another caucus. These caucuses are conducted like old fashioned Methodist lass meetings and love feasts. Stanley tells the members his prospects, the political news of the day, and then calls for an expression tram the members. The outsiders, the outt iders and men who do the rustiir.K in the lobby, have nothing to say. It Is all Stanley an 1 the members. Stan ley's known object in these caucuses is to tin 1 out wh.it m -rubers are actually for him to stay and what members arc point; to give him a few ballots and then land in other -um:s. At every caucus the m. -tubers express themselves fully, and llie si-lrit of the meetings is cori tasrious. At the first cau us Cyrus Br land rose End made the longest speech of his Ui. He said; "Governor, as you know, I have never- told you in so many words my attitude on this senatorial matter. I gut ss you have known where 1 stand, but 1 want to tell you and these gentle men here that I am for you in this light, with no second choice. I shali vote for jou till you are elected and work for you till you come to me yourself and tel! me to stop. I'm no quitter." Sp. uking of the senatorial situation, a fri-u-1 of Stanley said today: "The strength of Stanley is the sur prise of tile senatorial contest. Theie was a vague idea that Stanley was going to start in with a dozen or two lukc-warm supporters who would sift i nit. of his mill and leave the- light be- tv'o-ii Curtis and Kong. This was the p- ii ti'-ia lis' view. The politicians have !f -r fhend'-d S'.rnl".v. He has been out ot their range of vision ever since he a ppeared on the politic! horizon four years ago. In this senatorial fignt; lie has t'oob-d them while they thought1 they were fooling him. He has a posi-, tive strength and will lead Long on the first ballot and the men who are lining tip w ltd him are members and not out riders in the lobby of the hotels. The pronounced attiuide of L'l:uni had a bracing efftct. Yesterday and today 'he Stanley members, not the Stanley looters, have been working on the new coming members. One enthusiastic rr.- mber who can help another member in some real w a y during the logrolling of ih.- session is worth a dozen out-sid- rs who have no inHia-nce on the work of the session when it begins.

The Washburn trustees are trying- to collect back tuition from the students, and this effort resulted yesterday in. a controversy between Hampton Steele, editor of the Washburn Review, and President Norman Plass. President Plass claims that Mr. Steele was called upon to settle his overdue obligations, and made some impudent remarks, whereupon President Plass virtually ordered the obstreperous student out of his office. Mr. Steele has been debarred from his classes until he settled his bills. President Plass said this morning in regard to the matter: "Mr. Hampton Steele and Mr. C. T. Cunningham have neither one been either expelled or suspended, as was stated in the morning paper, but were simply debarred from recitations until their term bills are satisfactorily settled. Mr. Cunningham has made satisfactory arrangements and has been reinstated. "The trustees directed me to com municate with about a dozen student3 to the effect that their tuition must be settled by the 6th of the month, and to debar from recitations those who did not settle. All of the students except Steele and Cunningham reported at the office and made satisfactory settle ment. Mr. Cunningham reported last night ami was reinstated. "Nothing else entered into the mat ter. The fact that Mr. Steele presented a check last autumn that overdrew his account has nothing whatever to do with it. It is absurd to imply that col lege politics enters into the question. I have simply followed the behest of the trustees." SNOW Ifl COTTON BELT. Temperature of 20 Degrees in Louisville at Noon. Louisville, Ky Jan. S. The blizzard conditions which prevailed yesterday and last night in Kentucky and Tennes see are in evidence today, although with diminished force in east Tennessee, (leorgia, North Carolina and alons the Atlantic coast. Sno.v is general east of the Mississippi river and freezing temperatures extend to the southern half of the cotton belt. Snow fell all night in the mountains of east Tennes- j see and western North Carolin i and J train service through the mountains is i hampered. Ail traans from the north were late arriving in I.cuisvdle this i morning, both the Monor, ami l.Iig Four Chicago trains beim,- reported four i hours behind time. South of Louisville the railroads experien-.-ed no delay as the snow fail was light. The tempera ture in T.ouisville at noon was 1:0 de Krees, with the forecast for continued. cold Telegraph, facilities to the- southwest which were disarranged yesterday by reason of adverse weavher conditions, showed a decided improvement today. SO KND OF BED TAPE. May Need Extra Clerks at Next City Election. According: to Elec tion Commissioner T. S. Williams, it may be necessary for 21 i extra clerks to be aaoointed to assist in handling the ballots on April 7, the day of the spring election. One pytra clerk will be stationed ip each voting l-n riti.-t :n the city. There will have to be five ballot boxes for the ejection, according to Mr. W'ill lams. They will be as fohow-;: Cor male votes, general election, female votes. I general election, male votes school bond i proposition, female votes school bond i proposition and male votes waterworks bond proposition. The women are not i entitled to vote on the waterworks bon 1 question. j It is thought that when the ballots j commence to come in fast, and half j dozen people are waiting to vote, it will i bo too much to ask of one man to cor I redly distribute the ballots among these va rious boxes. The law- does not provide for extra clerks, anil the only wav it can be done will be for the council to authorize Mr. Williams to appoint deputy commission ers of election, one for ea-dt i-rer-inct, who shall take charge of 'he registra tion books and to keep track of the voter as they put in thei ballots. This will relieve one of the judges so that two judg s can attend to putting the ballots into the boxes. FIRE AT GOODLAND. Business Block Destroyed With Partial Insurance. Ooodland, Kan., Jan. S.

THAT OR 30 BILL. Senator's Resolution Is Vigor ously Opposed by Aldrich. It Finally Gives Place to the Statehood Jleasure. Washington, Jan. S. There was no action on the Vest resolution, and at 2 o'clock it went over until tomorrow, and consideration of the omnibus state hood bill was resumed. When the senate met today a house bill was passed amending the internal revenue laws, allowing all distilled spirits now in bonded warehouse oi which may hereafter be produced ana deposited therein, the same allowance for loss from leakage or evaporation which now exists in favor of distilled 1 SriT-it o-.jnocjfl a n A dannt-i a.-l r,rl..r 1 l""-e ttu&--v t, v WJt January 1, 1599. A bill also was passed authorizing the secretary of the interior to irescnbe rults and regulations of the procurement of timber and stone for domestic ami I industrial purposes in the Indian Terri- tori-. Mr. Aldrich (R. I.) then addressed the senate on the resolutions offered by Mr. Vest directing the finance committee to report a bill removing the duty on an thracite. He began by stating that the resolution would not afford the relief sought. It infringed the rights of the house with respect to revenue bills. "The attempt to afford relief." said Mr. Aldrich, "which the senator says is demanded through a method that would open a discussion here as to the consti tutional prerogative of the house, a dis cussion in its very nature would outlast the coal famine, a orobable method of securing relief." The rtsolu- tion, he asserted was simply to furnish a text for a political speech or a series of special speeches. He recited the leg islation which had been enacted to re lieve the people in times of distress and said he was not entirely hopeless chat some means may be found for relief. Mr. Aldrich recited the facts relating j to the coal tariff saying that in lSlii. when the Democrats were in control of the senate the house sent the Wilson bill to the senate with coa! free of duty. The Deniot ratio finance committee and 'he Democratic senate with the exceji i tion of Mr. Hill tN. Y.) voted to put i a duty of 40 cents, a ton on coal, al though they had the power to admit coal free of duty. Turning to the Democratic side and speaking with considerable emphasis Mr. Aldrich said: "You have always been In favor of free coal when your opinions were of no value to the country; on the day when you could give the country free coal, you deliberately and unanimously voted the other way. It therefore comes with ill grace for senators to criticise the action of the senate in 1S97, in favok of the action taken in 1S94." Mr. Ald- rich said the high price of fuel ia the i country now was not due to the present 1 tariff. Mr. Vest replying, said Mr. Ald i rich's remarks could be read between the lines. He simply was opposed to the resolution. He said it was an open se j cret how the rate of 40 tents a ton was pint on coal in the Wilson bill. There 1 were five Democratic senators opposed to the bill who were in a position to dictate, what should be placed in the bill and that their votes were needed to pass the measure. President Cleve i land, he said, had urged free coal on j congress. j "We were held up," said Mr. Vest, "to j use plain vernacular and told if we i dared to put free coal in the bill it would be defeated. A compromise, therefore, was effected on the basis of i -10 rents a ton. I "What does it matter how- anybody voted in 194," he inquired. "Is that an answer to the poor, freezing people who now demand immediate relief?" He referred to his former statement that the rates in the Dingley bill were made so high as to render possible the I negotiation of reciprocity agreements. and said it was based on information he believed to be true.

The temperatures have been lower to day than Wednesday but the volocuy of the wind has also been less and therefore the cold has not been so pen etrating and severe.

Passenger Train Crashes Into Bear End of a Freight On the Jlonongahela Division of the Pennsylvania. HAD A CLEAR TRACK. That's What the Signal Said to Engineer of Express. Fire Followed as Usual and Boasted Some to Death. Pittsburg, Pa.. Jan. 8. As a result o a collision between a passenger train and the rear end of a freight train on the Monongahela division of the Penn sylvania railroad at Cochrane station, just above Ducpuesne, seven men are dead, one is dying and five ethers ln jured. The dead: C. K. STROFD, baggagemaster. C. M. BOEHXER, brakeman, of ac commodation. JOHN STKWART, passenger,' esi dence unknown. JOHN POU.OK, Wilson Station. UNKNOWN FOREIGNER, killed outright. TWO FNKNOWN FOREIGNERS, died on way to hospital. The injured: T. D. Cook, conductor, accommoda tion. Sam Sullanisky, shoulder blade frac tured. Peter Klmoski, burned. John Smith, seriously injured. Mike Chonic. Mike Ueniill. The passenger in the wreck was the West Elizabeth accommodation train from Pittsburg. It was on time and had a clear track, according to the signals displayed. At the siding at Cochrane it ran into the rear car of an extra freight which had taken the switch, but had failed to clear -the main line. The officials ot the road attributed i the disaster to the failure of Patrick Quinn. the rear brakeman of tha freight, to see that his train had fully cleared. In the collision the tender oil the passenger engine was forced back upon the combination baggage and smoking car with terrible force. The thirteen passengers were jammed against the rear end of the car into al most a solid mass." Three of the vie titns were apparently killed outright, two of the other four were literally roasted to death and the two who dies on the way to the hospital were so bal iy burned that recognition is impossible. 1 Almost ii'.miedlati y after the impact, j fire from the stove in the nmoker commu 1 nicated to the w; a-:ase. ao i' the inipris j oned victims were tort-:red beyorK. descrip tion. A.l of the victims were uadly burned. Conductor Cook 'was femnd unconscious under the charred body of Baggageaster Stroud. He is so badiv hurt that he can hardly live the day through. Strange to say. not a truck except those of the tender left the track and the only passengers injured were those in the smoker. When the wrecked car began to burn one man's body extended half way out of the car window. His feet were pinioned by a i'ieee of wood in the car. He was alive and thoroughly conscious of his po sition. He was a foreigner, and in broken Knglish: yelled for some one to release him. e-j10p here!" he would shout, point ing back into the car at something which held him. Heroic efforts were made to re lease him, but finally the poor fellow had to be deserted, and he was slowly burned to death. One of the most horrible things, outside of the death of the foreigner hanging out of the window, was the body of a man standing up right aeainst the window which opens on the rear platform of the car. The body was that of Basgaecmastr Stroud. He was in an erect position, hist head was above the top of the window, so that his features could not be seen, but he was Identified by a ring he wore on one hand which protruded through the window and l,v his badge. FREIGHT CREW IS BLAMED. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 8. Six victims of last night's railroad collision near Du fiuesne. on the Monongahela division of the Pennsylvania railroad, are still at the McKeesport hospital, where they were taken Immediately after the acci dent. There was no change in their condition today. Thomas H. Cook, the conductor of the accommodation, who was expected to die during the night is still living, but the hospital authorities do not think that he will survive the day. It is thought the other victims will all get well. The wreck was one of th most singular in the history of the road considering the comparatively slight damage wrought. Superintendent Mitch ell is" making a through investigation and says that so far as he has been able to determine the responsibility for the wreck rests with the crew of the freight in not having a flagman out to stop the passenger train until it had crossed the main track and closed the switches. SANTA FE hIEfl WIN. Engineers and Firemen Given an Increase in Pay. Chicago. Jan. S. The demand for an increase in pay of the engineers and firemen of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad has been favorably acted upon and they wifi receive from 10 to per cent increase. Manager Cramer of tne railroad men's organization who presented the petition to the company, left last night for his home in St. Louis. "It was not a larere amount that was involved and it was granted," said J. W. Kendrick of the railroad company. "In all it amounted to about J30.000 increase in the pay roll annually. It did not affect the trainmen only the engi neers and firemen on the west end of the system." The above mentioned increase in thr pay for Santa Fe engineers and firemen affects only the Santa Fe coast lines, between Albuoueique and San Fran cisco. The engineers and firemen of the Santa Fe main lines east of Albuquerque wcie granted a raise in pay some weeks ago, and have not asked for anything sin co House to Go to New York. J. E. House, who writes "Second Thoughts" for the Topeka Capital, will go to New York in March to accept a position on the New York Sun. Mir. House is a writer of marked originality and versatility, and he is pretty cert i to follow the footsteps of other Kansas men who have gone to the metropolis and advanced to the head cf the lists. SEVEN SEEM BYAjlOViCE He Continues His Observations in "Copeland County." Insists That Legislators Should Be Classified. SOME OF THE TYPES. Council Grove Senator Short on Stature, Long on Dignity. AY. Y. Morgan Presides at the Long Headquarters. Among the things that should be done wdth members of the house and senate is to make a complete classification of them. They should be placed under two general and a number of sub-head. First, those who have been there before and know the rules of the game; sec ond, those who never have been and are learning the fundamental principles from the first-named class. Among the sub-heads should occur Western, Cen tral, Eastern, with whiskers, and with out, those burdened with dignity and those who gracefully wear a nickname and a slouch hat. THE SENATOR FROM COL'NCII GROVE WHO WEARS AN AIR OF DIGNITY. If properly classified and then brand ed, as Steve Cave has suggested, it would greatly facilitate the work of or ganization, trade and reciprocity. Th" hanger-on should also be tagged and registered a red tag for the grafter, after anything he can get and nothing in particular; a blue tag for the man who is burning to serve his state tin the capacity of clerk on some sub-committee which never calls a meeting), at three dollars per burn and nothing to do but call around after appropriation day and draw his cash; a brilliant yellow card would easily mark the reporter, domestic and foreign. Such an arrangement would save the juvenile candidate foi page a lot of trouble. The Copeland congregation is largely composed of types and characters. For instance, there is the senator from Council Grove: he of small stature and unlimited dignity. He wears a light hat and a bored, far-away expression. Mean while he is bringing in the sheaves in the interest of Mr. Curtis. Occasionally he has a streak of the reminiscent va riety. Then he breaks out and tells what he remembers of reading in a re cent newspaper article about the suc cessful escape made by Charles Curtis thirty-five years ago from an Indian rumor. In his mind he follows the rapid youth over the fifty-mile star route from Council Grove to Topeka. With him h? quickens his srait at the multifarious howl of the energetic coyote, jumps ra vines, and eventually arrives in Topeki with the fragments of the record he has so ruthlessly broken. The senator has a great opinion of Curtis as a runner, but forgets to state whether he expects the candidate to use his speed in over taking or escaping from the senatorship. The other candidates would like to know. HE PRESENTS HIS CARD WITH THE GRACE OF A FRENCH DUELIST. Not frequently seen is the candidate for chaplain, placid as a moonlight night in June, occasionally presenting his card with all the grace of a French duelist making a date. His compaign is not a strenuous one. Then there, here and anywhere is Cyrus Leland. To the question. "Who is the biggest man in the room?" seven out of ten informants will make an swer by pointing out Leland, but of course Leland denies the charge. "Billy" Morgan, who for four brief years has held the juiciest job on the market, is also much in evidence on the first floor. He holds the key to the location of the man who holds the key to the situation. If you want to see "Senator" Long hunt up W. Y. Morgan. Then, perchance, if you are good, you may be ushered into the inner circle and see the Busy Man. Governor William Eugene Stanley does the gladsome hand act in the lob by while not engaged in presiding at a caucus in his remote den. Frank Grimes breaks in semi-oe-casionally but doesn't seem to enjoy it. This isn't his year. TtSe habits of the denizens of Cope- land county are quite an interesting study. You wiU learn in course of time that Steve Cave smokes a cob pipe after 3:30 p. m. An ordinary ten cent cigar is good enough during the early hours. Cy Leland pokes himself in the ribs occasionally to see if he has lost his glasses. Morgan is noted for his sweet smile and Senator Long for the brand of hand shake known as the "Long lost brother." Senator J. Ralph Burton has gone back to Washington. D. C and great was the returning thereof. But Grimes and Mui vane are still "in our midst." In regard to the passing of Burton, certain evil ones have circulated the story that a porter was called upon to spread a royal crimson rug from the storm door of the hotel to the carriage at the curb, but the story is branded as a base falsehoxl by the multi tude who were cognizant of his depar ture. The visitor who is Insane enough to think that he can tell who is going to secure the several jobs on the market by viewing the multitude had better forget it. He might as well go to Copeland county to get a forecast of the price of wheat a week from next summer. This is really one of the most intelligent conclusions arrived at by a novice during a two days' investigation of the situation. BUM onuAii. It Grew Out of a Misapprehen sion of Report. Schenectady, N. YJ, Jan. 8 Because of a misapprehension regarding the recent ly issued report of the state sunerih tendent of banks, there was a run today on the Schenectady Savings banks, one of the oldest and most conservative- insti tutions In the state. The demonstration was confined almost entirely to foreign speaking persons. When the report of the banking department appeared it was translated by volunteer interpretors into the language spoken by the various foreigners working in this city. The criticism of trust eomr.anies and rec mendations regarding legislation affect ing them, produced a tad effect upon these people as they did not understand the matter and in a mysterious manner feigned that all -vas not well with the savings bank here in which thousands of them deposit their savings. Scores of them withdrew their money from the bank yesterday and todays w hen doors of the institution were opened there was a large crowd of e.xcit;d foreigners who demanded their deposits. They were promptly paid, the bank officers in an ticipation of a run having prepared for it over night. At noon every one had received what was demanded. The true situation was explained to the foreign ers and gradually the run decreased. KAPS MItS. NATION. Lyman Abbott Says She Lacks Power Because Intemperate. The Chicago Tribune says: Carrie Nation is the most intemperate of all women, according to Dr. Lyman Abbott, of New York, who is acting as univer sity preacher at the University of Chi cago. One of the duties of the university preacher is to conduct the daily chapel i exercises, and it was white aaaressm; the senior college students at the first of these services yesterday that Dr. Abbott made the statement concerning i the Kansas reformer. Dr. Abbott took I for his subect. "Why Does One Come to the University He began by cautioning the students against overdevotion to their book j alone. "In the east," he said, "we call f a man who comes to a university solely i for the purpose of attaining scholastic distinction 'a grind.' Such a one be lieves, first, that learning is a pleasure and that the day of examinations is the day of judgment. But examinations are a pretty poor test of ability. When you get into life you will have to ton for a great many things. Education is not a means to an end. It is itself the end. We are here to develop character. The object of life is the development of men and women. "In character two things at least are necessary power and the ability to us ft. Power is partly intellectual, partly physical, but largely moral. Courage is power. Godliness is power and knowl. edge and temperance are part of the equipment for power. Carrie Nation lacked r-ower because she lacked tem perance. Sh" was. lit fact, almost to. tally without it. If you are here for the purpose of succeeding in the highest sense you are here to become men and women you are here to get power." SIX LIENS FILED. Contractors Secure $80,000 for Work in Gould's House. New York, Jan. S. Six liens aggre gating nearly JSO.OOO have been filed at Hempstead. L. I., against Castle Gould, the country seat that Howard Gould is building at Sands Point. Port Washing ton. The contractors who filed- the liens re fuse to explain their reasons until the case is brought up in the county court. Mr. Gould had trouble with workmen last autumn and had deputy sheriffs to keep walking delegates off his premises. SHOOT AT KANSAS CITY. Grand American Handicap Billed for April 14-1 a Kansas City.

COACH QUESTION UNSETTLED Kansas Athletic Board Seriously Con sidering Four Men. Lawrence, Kas., Jan. 8. The athletic hoard has received offers from several candidates for the position of coach of the Vniversity of Kansas football team for next season, but has taken no defi nite action as yet. The offers range from $750 to $l.R0O for the season, and it is not improbable that next year's eoaeh will receive a larger salary than Kansas coaches have been paid hereto lore. The race for the place is really among four men Curtis, last season's coae'n .Murphy, the old Missouri coach; Weeks, eapt.'iin of Michigan last season, and Cochems. Wisconsin's star half back in 3 hoi. who coached the North Dakota .Agricultural college team at Fargo this last season. Manager Foster personally favors Cochems. lie is known to be a great half and had great success at Fargo last season. His team scored .115 points peainst 0 by the opposing team. Cochems has the advantage of success ful experience over Weeks, and his sys tem would be a continuation of the Wis consin style introduced by Curtis last season. Curtis has many admirers among stu dents and players and the only com plaint raised against him is that he is too unsociable. No one doubts his abili ty to coach a team. Weeks is also a favorite with many. He is a pupil of Yost, who is extrcmeiy popular here, and there is a tendency to think that Weeks must be almost jerfect ion. but he has had no experience fcs a. coach and his first attempt might easily prove a failure. The board accepted the offer of K. F. Mulligan to coach the track team this Fpnng. Mulligan was formerly on the Georgetown tra'k team where he did especially well in track athletics, His home is now in Minnea polis, Kas.. and lie has offered to coach the team for his expenses.

"Young Corbett," champion feather weight of the world, and Tom Jenkins, the well known wrestler, are to invade England and Australia. They will leave here in the spring, and after several bouts in the prominent cities of England will go in the fall to Australia, where a number of matches will be decided. These plans were decided on today when Harry Pollock, manager of Jen kins and Corbett. received a letter from Bert Dorman, the well known English sporting man, stating that if he would take Jenkins to England the Corona tion Athletic club of Liverpool would offer a purse for a wrestling bout between Jenkins and Tom Cannon. Dorman also wrote that Jenkins would have no trouble in securing a match ith Hackenschmidt, one of the great est mat artists in the world, for a purse of $1,000 before some London club. These will be Jenkins' chief bouts in England, but he will also arrange for a number of others. "Young Corbett" will take on Jordan and any other British top-notch feather who care to stand up before the Ameri can boxer. Both men. accompanied by their manager, will sail for England in April. After spending the spring and summer in England the party will leave for Australia early in the fall. This trip is the result of a letter received by the men's manager from Dan Creedon, in which Creedon says that if "Corbett" would only visit Australia he could get on a match with Tim Hegerty or Jimmy Anthony, for, as he expressed it, "big money."

Fitzsimmons said: "We don't want to give that 'dub' Mun roe any more free advertising, but either Jeffries or myself will put up $1,000 to stop him in three rounds. Why, I be lieve Mexican Fete can knock Munroe out. Jeffries could have put him to sleep in the first round had he wanted to, but he let the miner hang on to please the people. I know that Tommy Ryan has not yet taken hold of Munroe. If he dees he will find he has a counterfeit. We want this man to agree to an imme diate meeting or shut up. As for Mex ican Pete Everett, if Jeffries or I meet him on the street we will punch his head. I have stood all the boasting of these western kids that I intend to take. I will 'sic' Jeffries on them, and if he can't handle them I will take a hand myself." Suburban Nominations. York. Jan. 8.

Boston is to have a mammoth coal company which, its pro moters say, will smash the coal trust and supply the public with cheap fuel, through Boston as the distrinuting point. The new company will be as powerful as any ever organized. It is backed by the vast wealth and re sources of the Rothschilds and has for its moving spirits Englishmen of wealth who promise to break the grip of the coal trust in the east. Already the plans are perfected and the first move has been made. The name of the concern, tne Baltimore Boston Barge company, gives little hint of its real status. But behind it is the entrance of English capital to see what English brairs can do with the coal trade. Coal wharves and a yard in East Boston where the big Meet of the company's vessels can be discharged have been purchased for $125,000 of the John M. Morris Coal company and as much more is to be spent in improvements. The company is to embark directly in the carrying trade, bringing- 'both coastwise cargoes and coal from England and Wales. Al ready coal is being offered below the prices asked by the coal trust and once the duty is removed from Nova Scotia coal New England will get coal cheap er than Pennsylvania. SUGAR 2 CENTS A POUND. Secretary Wilson Expects to See Beet Product at This Figure. Washington. Jan. 8. "I believe that in five years." said Secretary Wilson, "with the probable extension of irriga tion under government aid and super vision, the real possibilities of the beet sugar industry will become apparent. I know I am accused of being enthusi astic, bur. I candidly believe the day is coming when the I'nited States will sup ply its own market with sugar at 2 cents a pound. The growing of the sugar beets is the most profitable branch of farming today. The improve ments in the manufacture of beet sugar are constantly reducing the cost, and when our manufacturers understand how to handle the by-products I believe they will be able to give us sugar at 'A cents a pound."

SHE PAYS SUM OF $7,500 Large Two Story Brick House in Wyandotte County. Money liaised in the East by Lectures and Subscription. Kans.Cs City, Kan.. Jan. 8. Carrie Na tion, through her brother, Campbell Moore, has closed negotiations for the large resi dence of S. N. Simpson, corner of Rey nolds and Grandview avenues: The deed was filed with the register of deeds yes terday. The price paid for the residence was $7,500. It is understood that Mrs. Nation pur chased the property with the intention of converting it into a home for drunkards' wives. She secured the money in the east by subscription for that purpose. It was stated yesterday that she would come here within the next two weeks and begin ne gotiations for having the building remod eled. Mr. Simpson will give possession in three months, according to the agreement. The building is a large two-story brick, and contains fifteen rooms. It is said that Mrs. Nation contemplates spending several thousand dollars in having it suitably equipped for the home, it is not known, however, what capacity Mrs. Nation's home for drunkards' wives will require. The people of Kansas City have been in clined to treat the report from the east to the effect that Mrs. Nation was raising money there to prepare a home for drunk ards' wives as a joke, until yesterday, when the purchase of the Simpson proper ty was given out. They are still puzzled to know where she will rind inmates for the new home, unless she imports them from other cities. BOOMING IRRIGATION. Garden City to Improve Ditch and Put in Pumping Plant. Garden City, Kas., Jan. 8 About 100 of the friends of Judge Mason assembled at the Windsor hotel and proceeded to his residence and presented him a fine arm chair, as a slight token of the es teem in which he is held by his fellow citizens, among whom he has lived for the last sixteen years. The presentation speech was made by Ed Finnup, who said among other things, that the chair would be chris tened after the manner of battleships, if the lows of Kansas were not in the way. To say the judge was surprised and overcome by this testimonial from his friends would hardly express it, and it was some time before he could express his gratitude. The farmers have bought the Garden City ditch, and will put it in first class condition. The Industrial club of this city has raised" 35. 000 to "ptit in a pump ing plant, and par;iesfrom California are ready to ;contra'ct for a plant that will furnish 25,000 gallons of water a minute, on the same principle as the large -pumping plants of California, and if successful the new irrigation company will put in the pumping outfit at an estimated cost of $20,000. Work will be commenced as soon as the new com pany is organized, which will be in a very short time. Now that horses getting of some value, horse thieves are making their appearance.

Henry Frank, leader of the MetroDolitan In dependent church, read an open letter which he had addressed to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and which is in part as follows: "I am not a member of your famous Bible class, and have somewhat regret ted that I have, therefore, been pre vented from being present to personally put to you the questions which I am incorporating in this public letter. "1. Is it not true that the enormous wealth which has accrued to the benefit of the Standard Oil company, of which your distinguished father was the foun der and is the present head, was secur ed by the methods of the usurer, the robber, the oppressor of the weak and defenseless, the murder and the hypo crite?

All steamers of large proportions im mediately weighed anchor or left their wharves and put to sea to escape the fury of the gale. Sailing craft scudded across the. harbor under bare poles, seeking safety inside the canal. It was in exceedingly difficult and perilous trial, the skippers of these craft experi enced, as in the rush for refuge several collisions were narrowly averted. Along the water front the streets were inundated. The wind forced the water over the wharves and embankments and the few pedestrians sought safety further in the city. The reavy down pour of rain choked the gutters which were unable to empty into the sea, be cause of the water driven up by the wind. HAS HE LOST HIS NERVE?

Judge Farkor of New York is taking his turn as "If in the game of Demo cratic presidential candidate for 1904. The man who bought up those St. Louis aldermen was wasting his talent. He should have secured a job with the beet Eugcr crowd and resided in Wash ington. Those who expected the Congressional Record to issue a Sunday edition with colore! pictorial supplement must wait a while longer, probably until Mr. Hearst takes his seat. Lemon juice in water is said to be sure death to typhoid fever germs. In order to make the demise of the crms ea:y mid pleasant it has been suggested that a little sugar arid whisky be added. The completion of cable connection between the states and Honolulu was a fitting beginning: for a year which promises to surpass all previous ones in the matter of material and commercial progress. Minnesota boosts of a state school j fund amounting to $30,000,000. Probably like many other fortunes, it has been Inherited mostly, in this case coming down from the national government in the form of land. Why should American newspaper wt iters prefer to use foreign words of which they do not know the meaning to good old English?

It looks as though the conditions have ben reversed at Washington since Mr. Cleveland occupied the executive chair mvl that congress has the president on its. hands.

Minneapolis Journal: The republic rf Mexico is often referred to slightingly as more of a dictatorship than a repub lic. However that may be, a recent in cident furnishes evidence of more re sponsiveness on the part of the Mexican government to the interests of the peo ple than we seem to be able to secure from our government In at least one im portant particular. There is a wheat ling, in Mexico what in this country would be called a. wheat trust, it un dertook to force up the price of wheat arbitrarily. This entailed great hard ship upon the poor. In Mexico there is a tariff on wheat. The government abolished the tariff and down came the price of wheat. V.'e do not do things i that way in this country. We talk i .ilMMit it. out .action lias thus far gott. n very iiltie beyond the stage of talk. SOME STARTLING STATISTICS I From the Washington Post. Dr. Arthur Mac-Donald's report to cons-ess is a very sensational document, lie has been investigating crime, suicide, insanity, and all other forms of de generacy, and in connection with the result of the 'investigation he furnishes certain statistics of illiteracy, etc., which throw a very Important, not to say startling, light upon the subject. Of course. we do not take It for granted that Dr. MacDonald's figures constitute an unassailable hypothesis, nei.her dees he himself claim or even .suggest as much. The doctor is an offi cial of the bureau of education, and en joys a very high reputation for profes sional efficiency. We do not understand, however, that he essays to settle a ciues tion so vast, and complicated, and are quite sure that it was no part of his. original purpose to produce a theatric-! effect. Facts are facts', however. Dr. Mac Donald finus that in New England, where the average term of schooling is s!x years and the average of illiteracy 6 per cent., the ratio cf crime, insanity, nervous disorder, etc., is far higher than in tiie south Atlantic states, where the term of schooling is less than three years, and the average illiteracy nearly three times greater than in New Eng land. Most significant of all, though, as it is most discouraging-, is the proof that the proportion of juvenile criminals in New England is 425 to the million, while in the south Atlantic states it is only 1211. Moreover, this contrast becomes all the more significant when we consider that the temptations of poverty are far greater south than north. These figures should set our authori ties to thinking. We spend hundreds of millions every year on free education, and other hundreds of millions in the effort to punish and suppress crime. The question is whether our scheme is intelligent whether there may be not a better way. Surely, if crime and degen eracy keep pace with free school educa tion, and virtue and wholesomeness pre vail in an inverse ratio, the fact is worth considering, even though the superficial conclusions be fallacious. JAYHAWKER JOTS. Salina is to have a new Rock Island depot. One of the grave business transactions i at Salina this week was the election of cemetery officers. An Industrious Ottawa hen led forth a brood of thirty-six UVely little chicks on New Year's day. Topeka is crowing over her chicken show while General Hughes, as man ager, is winning his spurs. For the first time in many years the Newton jail is empty or at least was when this "Jot waa jotted." Parsons doesn't give a rap who be comes United States senates so they se cure a long sought brick plant. Now that the open quail season has closed a Sumner county farmer offers to trade his repeating shotgun for a pony. These chilly days recall the fact to the Columbus promoter:? that they hav an ice plant proposition stored away somewhere. A letter from an Independence boy in New Zealand says spring vegetables and spring chicken is his daily fare when he has the price. Of course Congressman Calderhead is a senatorial candidate. He is distribut ing 11.950 packages of garden seeds as rapidly as the weather will pernvit. A Leavenworth man complains that he does nothing these days but put fuel in the furnace. Hut the furnace never complains of coals of fire being heaped on its head. Salina has an orange tree containing two dozen oranges. How the town bridesmaids left enough blossoms tot the tree to accomplish this feat cannot be understood. A Coffeyville family returned from church to find thirty of their chickens stolen. Two were valued at $5 each and the others at $1 apiece. But the sermon was interesting. An Ottawa shopman had his big toe broken December 3. January 1 he re sumed work and January 3 the toe was broken again. He attributes his troubles to a black cat crossing his path. That most of Editor Bent Murdock's readers dwell in the country will be seen by the following- modest request: "This office wants some stove wood, corn, hay and oats on subscription at once." An Emporia hardware firm sent to a house in town to get an unpaid for stove returned. An axe and a gun in the hands of the husband and wife de cided the hardware people that the day was too chilly to remove their furni ture. e .tutorial comment. Shortage and Short Weight. Chicago Tribune. The coal business is still in an unsat isfactory condition. The people of Chi cago are beginning to suffer. One gain is clear. The strike and its lessons are not passing out of people's minds. The industrial organization which makes such a strike possible is being more carefully than ever scrutinized and Is made the subject of earnest meditation by people whose coal bins are filled not witli coal but with air. The conclusion is toning itself upon the public that either the mining industry of its own motion must arrive at an internal un derstanding with itself or the public will have to serve as its instructor. Mr. J. A. Hobson, the English economist, has hinted that the next move i-i the Eng lish nulling industry will be such an agreement between masters ind men as will tlx wages and prices at a high fig ure and leave the public to foot the bill. An agreement of this kind would have its clangers. Theoretically it might lead to a conspiracy on the part of the em ployers and emploves of each trarie for the purpose of securing the highest pos sible wages and prices. Even such con spiracies might be preferable, however, to the present scarcity of a necessary con: mouity. Moreover, scarc ity is not the only dif ficulty the people of Chicago are now dealing with. Scarcity is supplemented by dishonesty. There have been well authenticated storDs of short tons. The dealer who in times likes these, when prices are inflated, gives his customers 1.400 or 1,800 pounds in place of the 2,000 they have paid for deserves all the names that are being- applied to him. The evidence has been pretty clear that lit certain cases short weights have been caused not by the action of the driver but by that of the dealer. The driver did not step while on his way to his destination and swap coal for beer. The dealer attended to the load before the driver started out. This is what has to be changed. The city authorities cannot be too vigilant in their supervis ion of dealers who are suspected of cheating. Their victims are among the poor, who'ahvays are the greatest suf ferers from dishonest weights and mc asures. They must be protected this winter against frauds which add so much to the cost of their scanty pur chases of fuel. Railway Kiatakes. London Chronicle: Not long ago the state railway author ities in .Melbourne, had to investigate a case of n guard leaving his van. walkin-; along the footplates. -clambering up tne engine and making a furious assault upon the driver, tile train going at full speed all the while, 'i hey are now in quiring into another curious incident.

FUfiSTOn FOR CHIEF. Suggested for Head of Philip pine Constabulary. Washington, Jan. 8. In pursuance of the order made yesterday toe house im mediately upon convening today enter ed upon consideration of the i'hilippin constabulary bill. While Mr. Cooper was explaining the bill. Mr. Fitzgerald (N. Y.) asked if it will allow the detail of a first lieutenant to be chief of the constabulary with the rank of brigadier general. Upon receiving an affirmative reply he char acterized the bill as vicious. Mr. Maddux (Ua.) opposed the bill and said in the face of the request of the secretary of war for $3,000,000 for the relief of the people of the Philippines, it was wrong to increase the pay of army officers at the expense of the Philippines. He thought there must be plenty of gt-u-rals in the army who could be de mi led. "The-re is General Funston," he said. "He would make an elegant chief of po lice. (Laughter.) If colonels are needed the woods are full of them." Alter further remarks by Messrs.. Huil (la.), Jones (Ya.), Patterson (Term.) and Williams (Miss.), against the bill, and Messrs. Crumpaeker (Ind.) and Cooper (Wis.) for it, general debate clo-iad. An amendment offered by Mr. Jones (Va.) to limit the number of assistant chiefs under the bill was adopted. Mr. Hull (la.) offered as an amendment a substitute to authorize the appointment fit a brigadier general as chief of the constabulary force, and officers not be low the rank of lieutenant colonel as assistant chiefs. BEET SUGAR HEN MEET To Decide What to Do About lleciprocity With Cuba. Washington, Jan. 8. A conference of the leading members of the American Beet Sugar association is being held tt the Arlington hotel in this city this afternoon. Among those present Is Henry T. Oxnard, the president of the association. It is understood that one of the purposes of the conference is to determine definitely what attitude the association will assume toward the. Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending In the senate. In view of recent state ments of President Oxnard it is re garded as likely that no very serious opposition to the treaty will develop among the members of the association. CAUSES IIIOTOUS MOB. Bad Raca Causas Trouble at Mar seilles Tracks. Marseilles, Jan. S. Troops with fix ed bayonets had to be called on today to disperse a riotous mob at the race course. In one race a bad start was effected and four horses were left at th" post, whereupon the angry public broke down the barriers, invaded the course, demanding the money bet by the Pari Mutuel system and committed serious depredations. The police were powerless jrntil reinforced by the sol diers. In a subsequent race the starter had to be protected by police and soldiers. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of Mrs. J. D. Hewitt, who died yesterday at the home cf her broth er, Judge Arthur J. McCabe, 821 Topeka avenue, will be held at the residence at 9:45 o'clock Friday morning. The ser vices will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Countermine, after which the remains will be taken to Wichita and buried be side the body of her husband. Rev. John D. Hewitt, who died in 3838. Maggie McKirahan, the 10-year-old daughter of Rev. und Mrs. M. F. Mc Kirahan, died at Christ hospital last night as the result of appendicitis. An operation was performed Sunday, but slight hopes were entertained for her recovery. Relatives of the family have been sent for, and funeral arrangements will not be made until their arrival. Mrs. Byron Long, wife of Byron Long, died Tuesday night at the home, 1021 Madison street. Funeral services were held at the residence at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. OATH'S STORY OF REED. Much has been said about "Tom" Reed since his sudden death. His story is that of the individual, and its chief relation to history is that he made the minority earn their money when they took the govern ment pay and then stopped the govern ment work. This was beneficent despot ism. As well might a parcel of urchins in a Fchool refuse to -answer their names and pronounce no quorum to be present and take their hats and go home. Reed was equal to the. whole of that congress in that he had not one element of the demagogue about him. He went ahead nnd after he made the law the opposition, with its usual seeing things ntter they have been passed, adopted all Reed's mnasure and almost believed they were the authors of it. But he had the defects of the inch vidua! of Cromwell, of Stanton, of De Witt Clinton he retorted upon his enemies with a wholesome contempt which was the destruction of his candi dacy for president. At one time it looked as if he might sweep over the country like Roosevelt of late, but just at that time he appeared to think it beneath his character to hunt the presidency. McKin ley went after it with an organization as complete as that of the boy who brings dwwn all the switches in all paths to saood all the rabbits. Mr. Reed, besides, had the modern fash ion to be independent. He took a fancy to Wall street and the study of its enor mous activity. Some Maine men were tlic re. among tre-rn John ci. Moore, who paid PeiKiior Edmunds $12,000 to argue against the income tax. Moore often said to me that McKinley would do very well for a plausible congressman, but that "Tom" kecd was a great homespun man. Alas, one must conceal his sincere reality if he would catch conventions are! votes. After MeKiniey carried everything and Reed found that the executive was under mining, through his pafVonape. he made his connection with a law firm in New York which had several bankers, brokers and investors for clients. Reed disparaged McKinley too much. McKinley well knew that Red would breek himsrlf down by his cwn candor. Senator Speoner said to me. after meeting Reed in Europe, ihat the party govern ment at Washington would not again be as honest and canoid as Reed had compelled it to be. but that eongr- ss would become the instrument of the White House. Yet so rapidly did changes take place here that McKinley annexed Spooner and made him one of his eulogists. Townsend's New York Letter. TUCSOli A PAHIC. Calls Loudly for Protection From Eubonic Plague. Washington, Jan. S. A dispatch hay been received at the public health and marine hospital service from the board of trade at Tuseon. Ariz., calling atten tion to the existence of bubonic plague in Mexico and requesting that necessary steps be taken to prevent its spread into Arizona. The president of the superior board of health of Mexico has officially announced to the authorities in Wash ington that the plague exists at Eusen ada and Mazatlan. Mexico, and has re quested the public health and marine hospital service to notifv the bureau of American republics, that the South American countries through them may be informed. Dr. Brown, a medical rep resentative of the public health and ma rine hospital service, now at Los An geles, wiio has been investigating the situation at Ensenada. and Dr. Alex ander, the medical representative at Ensenada. have been directed by the surgeon general to take any necessary action in the matter. M OTHER OFFER. Germans Are Not Trying to Buy the Panama Canal. PaHs, Jan. 8. Edouard Lampre, sec retary of the new Panama Canal com pany authorized the Associated Press today to deny the reports that a German offer of S46.000.000 had been made to the company for the Panama canal conces sions and property. M. Lampre says no offer or overture has been received from any German organization or indi vidual, directly or indirectly. govern mental or private.

New, Jan. 8. A special to the Ga zette from Eureka tells of a tragedy en acted ut the Keystone mine yesterday when Superintendent Travlor was set upon by Vi union miners. Two men are dead and another is just alive: still another has been given up by the doctors and a liflh is net seriously hurt. There was intense excite ment among the miners and it was thought that Traylor would be lynched last night. The sheriff succeeded in spir iting Traylor andAssistant Gaskill out of Ely for an unknown destiuatifni. Lie tails are hard to obtain, as Ely is a remote camp tar from railroad or telegraph com munication, being lio miles southeast cf Eurciiu. LOCAL MENTION. Mrs. G. T. Mattingly leaves today for Chicago being called- to the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. W. T. Amos. The Branch Alliance of Unity church will meet tomorrow afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Barkley, 621 Harrison street. A meeting of the inaugural reception committee hsis been called for 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon in the Com mercial club rooms. James Mullin, who has been suggest ed as the ..Republican, candidate for councilman from the;. Second ward, says he does not want the office. He says he is in favor of 'retaining Joseph Grlley in the position. One of the East Sixth avenue cars is wearing a sign which says, "Football at the Auditorium." It is a composite and the result of the tearing off of a part of the advertisement of the poultry Show and the exposure of an old sign. "The Burgomaster'' company, which played at the Crawford last night, missed .the only train to Topeka yes terday morning and had to come ovei on a special. The company and scenery arrivel at 5:40 p. m., but in spite of their late arrival the curtain went up on time. A printer named Dick Bell was ar rested last night for creating a dis turbance at 415 Kansas avenue, where some girls have rooms. He breike the glass out of a door and cut his hands on the broken pieces before he was quelled by officers. Mrs. L. PI. Holtwick entertained a few friends at her home Wednesday afternoon. Those invited were, Mrs. Manahan, Mrs. Schaefer, Mrs. H. E. i Holtwick, Mrs. Fred Matthews, Mrs. John Sebold, Mrs. H. Rupple.Mrs. Fred Strickrott, Miss Durein and Miss Strickrott. Tonight the members of the State Poultry association will hold the elec- I tion of directors for the coming year, i The place of holding the next show will also be decided. Topeka has made the pjoultry show and th other towns in the state are making a scramble to get it. The union relief committee of the I O. O. F. met lat evening in the parlors of No. 40 I. O. O. F. to organize for the year's work. Mr. Williams of lodge No. 40 was elected chairman: J. M. Shella barger of lodge No. 79 was made secre tary and Thomas Bain of lodge No. 1 was elected treasurer. One rf the most active ofTioeseekers In Copeland county just now is Otto B. Irelan. who was assistant reading clerk for the house two years ago, and 1p making a campaign for election as first clerk. Irelan has a lot of friends left over from two years ago who recollect the carrying powers of his voice and want to see him made reading clerk for the coming session. The board of managers of the Kansas society of the Sons of the American Revolution have been called to meet in the rooms of the State Historical so ciety on Saturday, the 10th instant, at 2:30. The proposed revision of the con stitution will be considered and prob ably some provision made for the ob servance of Washington's birthday and the annual banquet. Nearly a score of new members have been added during the past year. Marshal Fred Stonestreet of the court of Topeka today arrested Samuel Alex ander, colored, "on a warrant issued in August, 1901. At that time Alexander assaulted another colored man named Alonzo Conley with a razor, and the warrant charges him with attempt to murder. Alexander escaped and has been living for a year and a half In New Mexico. Meanwhile the man who was injured has recovered from his wounds, and it is thought that the case will be dismissed.

Except for the addition of a couple of peacocks there is nothing more in the way of exhibits at the poultry show. Visitors are not crowding in to see the birds, but that was not expected and never is at a chicken show. As a public attraction it invariably plays to small audiences. The people who do take an interest in such things are loud in their praises of the present show's size and completeness. The judging is complete, and for the rest of the week the officers win have nothing to do but count gate receipts. So far this part of the work has been light. Tuesday there were about 650 vis itors, but-the attendance fell below that by about 100 yesterday, on account of the extremely bad weather. Today it 1; picking up some and the increase in t'.tt number of new faces shows that the peo ple are waking to the fact that the show is in town. By an error in yesterday's paper the credit for the best Buff Cochin display was given to the wrong person. It should have gone to Charles Steinberger. of Wa-Keeney.

PRICES GO UP IN INDIANA. Indianapolis Coal Sealers Add 25 to 50 Cents a Ton. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 8. Anthracite, what little there is, was offered at $12 a ton in this city. Ail other coals were advanced from 25 to 50 cents a ton at the meeting of the coal exchange. An thracite yesterday was selling at $9 a ton.

The nomi nation of Robert B. Armstrong-, private secretary to Secretary Shaw, as first assistant secretary of the treasury, to succeed Mr. Spaulding, is threatened with serious opposition in the senate. It is alleged that he is too young to un dertake the responsibilities of so im iiortant an office. Senator Aldirch is at the head of the opposition to Mr. Armstrong. He be lives that a man of riper years and longer service should be made assistant secretary, and other senators agree with him. The president is somewhat partial to the selection of young men for posi tions of trust and responsibility, and shares with Secretary Shaw the opinion that Mr. Armstrong is qualified to fib the post.

The appellate court today in a swetpirs decision sustained the injunction issued by Justice Chy traus against eight beard of trade mem bers charged with operating a "corner" and sustaining the contention against the "corner-ins of the market." The court holds that under the laws of the state dealers can not be forced to settle trades won the basis of artificial value created by the cornering of the j market and that margins deposited in i hanks or elsewhere arc- within the juris diction of the courts in that they affect t the right to property. i The decision draws a legal distinction between question:? touching the disei i pUnary rights of the board in which the latter has repeatedly been held to be sovereign and questions of property j rights, and holds that disputes between memoers involving: hnanees an. it de sired by either party be submitted to the courts for decision. The case of Wir-ite Thorbun Co., against the board of trade was the prin cipal suit uixtn which the others were based and which resulted in the securing- cf an injunction against the board. i The firm had sold oats for July delivery, j The srice advajtcfd and it was claimed by the eompiairants that the market was cornered and that the settlir.gr price insisted uron wa ne'itious. An injunc tion va? accordingly asked and granted, enjoining the payment of the margins deposited in bank. The decision created a furore on the board at the time.

Half of the oats crop has gen0 to market, and the hay is com manding good prices for the bounteous crop. It is sale! to be a fair estimate that the farm value of wheat, for which the farmers have disposed of half their hold ings is 6-1 cents a bushel. Oats have netted the farmer about 27 cents, and the balance, it is estimated, will be sold at that figure.

G TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING JANUARY 8, 1903. H f Ulililii I0ATE0. Gift of An Irew Carnesifi to the City of Washington Is Formally Turned Over to the Board of Trustees. ROOSEVELT S P J: A K S. Tays Tribute to Wisdom of the Iron Master. Conor Offers to Give 8320,000 jlore for Branches. "Washington, Jan. 8. A throng of persons of note ass innled to attend the ceremonies, incident to the dedica tion of tie; Washington l'u'olic library. Tiie cert-ni'nies took place i:i the audi torium of the n-w library. The p.triici- ;ci i i pants in the excivi.-es includ-d president ol the Vnited St it f j Mr. I Andrew ('arm-sic, the donor of tile building: the presidents of the build ing oiinmlFsion and the board of li- bvarv trustees. Anions tnose who at- tended the ceremonies were members of th" cabinet, of the senate and house of representatives and people prominent In civil life throughout the United States. The library building is a while mar ble structure, occupying the center of Mount Verrmn square, in the very heart of Washington. For its construction T,Ir. C.'iniiBic donated J.leO.oOO. The ceremonies were merely incidental to the transfer of the building: from the building commission to the board of library trustees, of which Mr. Theodore "W. Xoyes. assoeiate editor of the Washington Star, is president. Prior to the formal exercises the orchestra of the Marine hand played. The d'-dication exercises lasted prarcp.lv an hour. After the bishop of Washington, the Rt. Rev. Dr. SaUer lee. had pronounced prayer President lioouevelt was introduced and spoke as follows: "I count myself fortunate in being able to come here tod-ay. not only for rny private individual sake, but as in pome sort representing the people of all the country, to express my profound a;r,ireriation of what is emphatically a gift of wisdom, a grift to do the ut most possible benefit to all the people of this country, from you. Mr. Carnegie. (Applause.) it. seems to me that the man lias a right to call himself thrice blessed who combines the power and the purpose to use his wealth for the benefit .of our people at larpe in a way that shall do them real benefit, and in r.n way can more benefit be done than through the sift of libri-ris such as this a free library, where each man, each woman, has a chance to pet for him or herself the training that he or sh has the desire to. "Of course, our common school system lies at the foundation of our educational system, but it is the foundation only. Or those who are to stand pre-eminent as the representatives of the culture of the community, the enormous majority must educate themselves. (Applause.) The work done by this library is helpful, be cause it represents one side of the way in which all healthy work in this com munity must be done. Mr. Carnegie, neither you nor any one else can make men wise or cultivated. All you can do Is to cive him a chance to add to his own wisdom, or to his own cultivation. (Applause.) That is all you can do in any kind of philanthropic work. (Ap plause.) "The only philanthropic work that counts in the Ions run is the work that helps a man to help himself. (Applause. That is true socially, sociologically and in every way. The man who will sub mit or demand to be carried is not worth rarryinp. Laughter. And if you make the effort it h -lps neither him nor you. "J'ut every man of us needs help needs more and more to be given the chance to show for himself the stuff that is in him. and this kind cf free library is doins in the world of culti vat inn. the world of scholarship, what it should be our aim to do in the jsrent world political and social development that is, it is. as far as may be, equalising- the opportunities; and then leav ing the men themselves to show how they are able to take advantage of them. (Applause.) In other words, this Is the kind of grift that steers the happv middle oi.iir--e between the Charybdis of failure to show public spirit on the one hand, and on the other Kcylla of showing that public spirit in a way that will de moralize and pauperize those who take advantage of it. (Applause.) To quote an expression that 1 am fond of this is equally far ft run the two prime vices oi our civilisation, hardness of heart and softness of iiead. (Applause.) "1 am not here to make a speech. 1, Unfortunately, have to leave at once, as the president has several duties to perform. (Laughter.) I have come be cause I feel that tb.e movement for se curing better facilities for self-training, bettr-r facilities for education in its widest ard broadest and deepest sense, is one of such prime importance that the president of the Unite,; States could nowhere more appropriately come than to this building. Mr. Carnegie, at this time, to thank you for the gift that you have made to the people of the na tional capital." (Long continued ap plause. When the applause had subsided President Roosevelt left the auditorium the an bonce rising as lie passed out .nd the Marine band placing: "Amer ica." In a brief address Mr. II. TV K. Mao Farland. one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia, turned the building over to the board of library trustees. President Xoyes lesponding on behalf of the board. Mr. Noves" speech was an eloquent tribute to the liherelit v nf Mr. Oarneeie. He referred to Mr. C'arneeie a a "Santa Carnegie, the patron saint of public libra ris, who transforms by word or touch of the ren. a cramped, crowded makeshift of a library building into the marble palace in which were are assembled to cia v." In conclusion Mr. Xoyes pronounced the btiilrtfpjr a "notable adornment of the city b-.putifnl. n factor in the won derful architectural development of the i.-e,v t';i shi r a ton." Mr. ("arnetrie next was introduced. He was privet! an ovation by the f-at audi ence. He said in pert: "The free libra ry, maintained bv alt the reoplr. for "I1 the people, knows neither rank nor birth wihtin its walls. Keen he who honors ns todav bv his august presence, the honor of the his-hest position upon parTi. the elected of the majority of the Knc.li'-h speaking race, a position com pared ith which .all iaheriier positions pink into insignificance, within these wPs has no priviieiros which is not T'-,e right of his poorest and humblest fellow eUir'.en. "Free libraries maintained by th peo ple are cradles of democracy, and their tl'ireai can never fall to extend and strengthen the democratic idea, equality of the citizen, the royalty of man. They are emphatically fruits of the true American ideal. Hut while even the president thus stands on the common eiovel as the president, we cannot fail to remember that in the free library the man has a place, denied to the official, ins a prince in the republic of letters, for in the ranks of those who constitute the chief glory of the nation, its authors this was won lonir since by Theodore Roosevelt, the author. .Before he was president, he had, Caesar-l;ke. not only caused his fellows to mark him and write his speeches in their books, but had made books for himself. I doubt not that of the books tak-n from this library his will rank htsh in the list. "We hail him today therefore in the dual capacity of presi dent and author, positions unsurpassed in their several sr.-i.M-es, rare and won derful in combination."' Mr. Carnegie said that he had given, chiefly within the zast two years. '."JO library buildings. Inuring the month of July last 276 applications for library buildings were received by him from ail parts of the Knglish-spoaking world. When he arrived in New York last month from Europe he found awaiting" him applications for 650 additional buildings. Today he has on hand 385 new a. plications, making in all under consideration now more than 800. "the j great majority of which." he said, '"will no doubt be given." P.t-ferring to the concentration of his j mind upon the library business, Mr. Oarne.eio said he had been a conccntra- i tor all his life. "I have seldom or never I known," he continued, "a great success made hv a Jack-of -all-trades, the board member in twenty companies, the con j trolier of none. I am in the library j manufacturing business and beg to be flowed to concentrate mv time unon it until it is filled. This is not charitv. this is not philanthropy it is the people helping themselves by taxing them selves." After expressing the belief in the good motives of people who gave for charity, he said that most of it was "a mere pruning- of the branches of the upa tree. We must get to the roots of pov erty, the misery and the crime which still darken human society, but which, 'ot us gratefull3r remember, become less and less under the great law of evolu tion." Upon the conclusion of the dedication ceremonies the library was thrown open to the public and thousands of people passed through it during the afternoon and evening. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, after the dedi cation, said that he was so well pleased with the new library and the use made of his g-ift of $350,000, and the provision for the support of the hrary, that he would donate another ,0,000 for erec tion of branch libraries on the same condition as the original gift, namely, that the city provide the sites and ar range for the support of the libraries.

Many interesting stories are told by the heroes of the late War of the Re bellion. An old soldier of Morris, 111., related his experience a short time ago. "When I enlisted in the war," said he, "I was strong and healthy and weighed ISO pounds, and when I was discharged four years later I only weighed 130 pounds, which was the re sult of a very bad stomach trouble, contracted while in the army. I was treated by medical men for a long time, paying out hundreds of dol lars but receiving no permanent bene fit. Patent medicine were also highly recommended for dyspepsia and stomach troubles and I tried a number of them but got no relief, and in the end was actually worse. I became mentally and physically a wreck, had no energy to do business and 1 simply got enough sustenance from my food to keep soul and body together aijd was in pain and misery constantly. While in this condition I met a friend who asked me if I had used Grape Nuts. I had not, but had used other prepared food and got no relief and no had no confidence in any of them. He continued to urge me to use Grape Nuts, saying his wife had become so much improved in health by using this particular food. Ho, partly to please him, I bought a package and made my supper that night on Grape-Nuts, fully expecting to suffer all night as the result. To my surprise and great joy it agreed with me perfectly. I had a good appetite from that time on and Grape-Nuts was. my only food for th" first four months: then I began to partake of cither food sparingly. I gainer! very rapidly, men tally and physically, with energy and force restored, and I also gained in iiish. my weight increasing 35 pounds in about six months. My stomach from which I had suffered untold mis ery for 35 years, became perfectly healthy so that T could eat all kinds of food in connection with Grape-Xuts. Todry I am 62 years old and enjoy good health and I believe Grape-Nuts to be the best of food products, scien tiPcially prepared so as to contain the greatest amount of nutriment and tonic properties." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Cfaanges SI is Jlind About With drawing From Contest. Knowing Ones Insist His Name Won't Go Before Caucus. HE IS CLEARLY HEATED Poll Made by Organs Makes This Evident. Chairman Albaugh Says Pringle Has at Least 61 Votes. George J. Barker last night made a denial of the report that he would with draw from the race for speaker. "I am still in the fight," he said, '"and will stay in it until the votes are counted. I beiieve I have a chance to win yet and have not lost heart." Notwithstanding this statement the friends of Mr. Pringle and a consider able number of Barker's supporters be lieve that the latter's name will not be presented to the house caucus as a candidate for speaker. It was conceded by many of the Cur tis people Wednesday that Judge Bar ker had no show whatever, and there was great satisfaction among those who do not want to be placed in an embarrassing position over the report that he would withdraw from the race and not compel his friends to go "into the ditch" with him. Some of them are anxious about legislation which they want to get through this winter and they do not want to get at loggerheads with the brutal majority which is sup porting Pringle. Therefore they were pleased with the news that Barker would withdraw. That Judge Barker's claim that he will stay in the race till the votes are counted is like going against a stone wall is shown by the poll taken by one of his organs, a Topeka morning paper, which has interviewed the forty three members of the house, who have thus far come to Topeka, on the speak ership question. According to the state ments of the members themselves these forty-three stand almost three to one for Pringle, as follows: Pringle 2?

Linton and Peck are keeping still for reasons of their own. JoneB of Norton went into the Stanley caucus. Godsehalk is a Long man for senator. Prnlle is from Mr. Calder head's home county and therefore not tak ing sides in the speakership fight. Men denhall is instructed for Bowersock and therefore probablv for Barker. Staveley is for Curtis for senator, but is Pringle'a col league from Osage county and will proba blv vote for Mr. Pringle. Morton Albaugh. although kept in Deu with his broken leg, has a telephone at his elbow and has kept in touch with what ;s going on. He makes the following state ment concerning the contest: "On November 22. the day after Prin eTe's candidacy was announced, I gave the Topeka Capital a list of 63 men who i I said would support Pringle for speak- I er. That Urt follows: "Cvrus Leland, Doniphan oounty;Har rv Perkins. Wyandotte: "Wm. Speer,, Johnson: W. S. Findley and W.S. Jenks, Franklin; Dan Campbell and Dr. Wm. Baird, Bourbon: Dr. O. F.

Star, Scott; William Kinnlson, Finney; E. E. Rob bins, Hamilton; Sherman Williams. Grant-Stanton: L. I). Einsel, Gray Haskell: R. B.Campbell, Meade-Seward, W. W. Martin, Stevens-Morton. "Only one man in the list, .1. F. Jones of Gove, has announced himself for Barker. Four others have so far failed to publicly declare for Pringle. Three four are Whistler. Martin of Wroodson, Linton and Johnson; but none of them have announced for Barker. Pringle is sure to get at least two of these four votes. So, up to date, we have had to strike only one name off the list. Jones of Gove. But his place has been taken 1 bv a Sixth district man, G. E. Wood- house of "Wallace. We have added two other names, E. H. Nixon of Barber and Dr. A. A. Sharp of Pawnee. 'Subtracting five names Jones of Gove. Whistler, Martin of Woodson, Lin ton and Johnson from the list, leaves fifty-eight. Adding three Woodhouse, Nixon and Sharo increases it to sixty one. The files of the Capital will show that fifty-seven cf these sixty-one have announced themselves at various times throughout its columns for Pringle. The three who have not declared their posi tions in print are Speer. Stavely and Adair. But these three have declare. 1 their intention, in the Copeland lobby to support Pringle. So it is a safe prop osition that today Pringle has sixty-one votes that ail the forces of the opposi tion cannot iar." The report that was circulated yester day that Judge Barker would withdraw received confirmation from the fact that one of bi- strongest backers advised two members not to declare themselves in the speakership contest for the reason that it would all be settled today. Some of Mr. Curtis' friends now say that he is insisting on Barker's staying in the race in order to make a show of strength. He believes that if Barker can get thirty-five or forty votes in the house caucus it will add to the prestige of Mr. Curtis iri the senatorial rignt. This would seem to indicate that Curtis expects to get Bowersock's full strength at the last, but Barker will get nearly the full strength cf both candidates ana some from the others besides. Congressman Long has had slips printed with the names of ali Republi can members of both houses by con gressional districts, and he is distribut ing the slips among his friends and the various members. "These are the men who are going to vote for me for senator," he said, as he handed out some of the slips. "Of course they may not do so on the start, but they will eventually." The list shows the number of mem bers in each house by districts as fol lows: First Senators, 4; representatives, Second Senators, 5; representatives, 12. Third Senators, 4: representatives, 11. Fourth Senators, 5; representatives, 12. Fifth senators. 5: renresentatives. 9. Sixtii Senators, 4; representatives. 14. Seventh Senators, representatives. Candidates for pages in the two houses are becoming thick around the lobby of the Copeland. Among the brightest of them is Donald Crawford, who lives at 12,1 Tyler street, Topeka. Another bright appearing Topeka boy who wants to be a page in the house is Wallace Mc Kniglit, of 1216 Clay street. Most of the candidates for places as pages come from boys outside of Topeka. Six more members went into the Stan ley conference yesterday afternoon. They were O'Donnell of Ellsworth. Per kins of Wyandotte, Evans of Lyon, Dougherty of Harvey, Taylor of Os borne, and Senator Tapp of Sedgwick. Adams of Sedgwick expected to attend but had some court business which con flicted with the conference. Dougherty and Taylor have not declared them selves on the senatorial question hereto fore. Harry Wagner, of Topeka, who was a Twentieth Kansas hoy and suffered from sunstroke while in the Philippines, is a candidate for assistant doorkeeper in the house. He is compelled to go on crutches but was a doorkeeper two years ago and wants to be one again. G. C. Coleman, attorney general-elect, has named J. F. Close of Republic coun ty, as his first assistant, and John S. Dawson of Graham county as second assistant. Mr. Close was the Republi can candidate for district judge in the Republie-Cloud-Washington district two years ago but was defeated by Judge Hugh Alexander, a Democrat. Mr. Dawson has been bend clerk in the state treasury during- the last four years. Mr. Coleman has also appointed Miss Ruth Campbell of Clay Center as stenographer in the attorney general's department, but the place of special as sistant, now held by Captain Clad Ham ilton will be left open for some time. Captain Hamilton is not a candidate for reappointment, but either he or James Clayton may remain in the office for a time. A. L. Berger of Kansas City, Kas., says that a Kansas City woman recent ly came to him and asked him to sign a petition for a new candidate for super intendent of the blind asylum. "I told her," said ''Mi1-. Bergen,'--' that I couldn't sign any sirc-h petition because in the sixteen years that I have lived in Kan sas City" the blind school bas never had as competent a superintendent as the present one. Then I asked her to let me see the petition. The first name on it was W. H. Craddock. I told her my name wouldn't look well on a petition with Craddock's anyway." Each of the incoming state officials is furnished with, fifty invitations to the inaugural ceremonies to give to his friends. Governor-elect Bailey has sent one of his to W. H. Craddock with his compliments. Notwithstanding Governor-elect Bai ley's declaration that he probably will not have time to consider applications for jobs under the new administration until after he is inaugurated, every lit tle while some candidate gets him cor nered and proceeds to tell him of his merits. "Speaking of candidates getting in their applications early," said Mr. Bailey today, "I had an application awhile back that sickened me. Only a day or two after Mort Albaugh was hurt and when it was reported that he might not recover, a man wrote to me filing an application to succeed Albaugh as bank commissioner. I think that is about the limit." I..L. Dayhoff, who will succeed Frank Nelson as state superintendent of public instruction, came in from Hutchinson yesterday to get acquainted with the work of the office. He was succeeded by Superintendent Frank R. Dyer ot Wichita, who will be his assistant. Mr. Dayhoff will not move his family to To peka until spring. He has appointed Miss Emma Metzger of Hutchinson as his stenographer. The place of bond clerk in the office has not yet been filled. The Copeland corridors are not so crowded today as they were yesterday, as some of the members who were here then have gone home for a day or two. The most of them will return again the last cf the week. A few other mem bers have come in to fill the vacancies, but not very many. The contest has now shifted from the speakership to senator. It is generally conceded that Pringle will be elected speaker by an overwhelming majority and tha, takes away from the interest in the speakership. Now the preliminary skirmishing over the senatorial contest is over, and the candidates and managerrs are lin ing their forces up for the finish. They are counting the "staying" men and also figuring on "second choice" votes. It is reported that Congressman Long had a conference with M. A. Low at the latter's office late yesterday. It is said to have been a long conference, but it is not known whether it was a Long conference. Mr. Low is, of course, for Mr. Curtis for first choice, but the Long supporters insit that he will never give anv aid to Stanley because Governoi Sta'nley appointed Judge Cunningham to the supreme bench instead of J. D. McFarlnnd, Mr. Low's choice. Mr. Long's headquarters at the Copeland are in rooms 3 and 4. Judge S. R. Peters of Newton is in charge of them. Governor Stanley mixes with the members in the lobby and frequently acts as his own "steering committee" in getting members to his headquarters in room 8. Warden Jewett and I. B. Lambert are. of course, helping him. Congressman Curtis and his helpers appear to be putting forth their efforts to make a good showing on the first test of strength, believing this will add to his prestiee. Some of the friends of the other candidates deny that he will lead the list when the balloting begins, although it is generally believed that he will do so. J. R. Miller, of Topeka, a brother of Congressman Miller, is a candidate for chief doorkeeper in the house of repre sentatives. He savs an effort has been made 'to keen him out of the race, but he intends to make it anyway, although he does cot wish? to injure Congressman MARKETS TODAY, Slight Adyance in Wheat But Trade Is Light. Lively Business in Corn Bat Prices Change Little. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle More Up Two or Three Points. Hogs Also Partake of the Up ward Tendency. Chicago, Jan. 8. WHEAT Wheat open ed steady on firm cables and small re ceipts, continued good weather in Argen tine having a counterbalancing effect. There was a fair volume of business ana local sentiment was about evenly divided, with perhaps a small majority in favor of the buying. May was a shade lower to a shade higher at the start, opening at 75'4 siT5r,sc, and with a fair local demand there was an advance to ?5?4fr75v8C. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 278 ears, which, with local receipts ot 32 cars (one car of contract grade), made total re ceipts for the three points of SiO cars, against a holiday last week and 523 cars a year ago. A good cash and export demand caused a strong market during the latter haif cf Curtis' senatorial chances. "The Fifth district has had this position for the last ten yeaers." said Mr. Miller today. "Two years ago I got out of the way is. the interest of harmony, but I don't know why I should do so this year. 1 think the effort to keep me from run ning is made chiefly because A. F. Wil liams wantB to be saeaker pro tem., rather than because my running would injure Mr. Curtis." Senator Burton left late yesterday for Washington, but Congressman Reeder stayed over another day. W. A. White asked J. T. Pringle for his second choice for senator today. "My second choice is Caldersock," said Pringle. His first choice is Curtis, as he was instructed for Curtis. CAMPING IN WINTER. A Phase of Outdoor Life That Re mains for the Enthusiast. He who camps during the summer months finds comfort in abundance and drawbacks scarcely noticeable. The bright, cool days of the autumnal months also bring chiefly things to en joy, and only when the cold rains come down does the dweller in the woods be gin to realize the disagreeable features of the life. But of all seasons for camm ing, perhaps none offers the peculiar fascination of those months when the land is clothed in its unspotted winter dress. Then the air is clean and clear, the woods are even more tlfan usually silent, and the trees and shrubs are transformed into gleaming white stat ues. On a bright day all things glisten, and the myriads of sprakling crystals seem to dance and laufirh in the crisp, cold sunlight which illumines. but does not warm; under a dull sky the cold, grey monotony is almost unbroken by shadows. In the woods the treetop bends with its load of snow; tired of the weight it drops the white mass and a faint, muffled crash is heard. Should the cold be very intense, the sharp sound of a frost-cracked tree echoes, then again all is silent, absolutely silent. To give up the warmth and other comforts of a home and take one's self off to the cold northern woods may not sound alluring to those who have not tried it. The uninitiated is apt to ask derisively where the pleasure comes in. It is difficult to answer such a question with mere words. To describe the de lights and exhilaration of tramping Through the snowbound woods is not easy. Almost erhostly is the scarcely audible swish, swish of the snow-shoes as they pass over the firm, dry snow. The keen air is so bracing that you feel equal to almost any task. You wonder where is the awful cold you have heard about; surely the temperature is scarce ly below freezing point, and you remove your heavy woolen jacket. Then your knitted gloves feel overwarm and they too, must come off. Wait just a minute and see what the thermometer has to show: 20 degrees below zero! Why, surely it must be wrong: but no, your fingers have frozen to the metal case and beads of perspiration change to ice as they fall from your brow. Perhaps, after all, the mercury i! right, for, now you have stopped exercising, the cold is intense. When the air is so dry one is apt not to appreciate the cold until feet and hands actually bejrin to freeze. Men accustomed to the cold can sleep on a few boughs laid on the snow before a large fire, with no blanket over them. But it is scarcely advisable for anyone accustomed to steam heated rooms to attempt this. A good sleeping bag made of four thicknesses of light weight, pure wool blanket, with an inner bag of nat ural wool batting encased in light flan nel, is all that is needed about 18 pounds of bedding in all. In selecting an ax. which, needless to say, is an important item, choose one that is light, and has a long handle, and be sure that it is tempered to -suit the cold weather. An ax tempered for southern countries will fly to pieces when used in a very cold climate. Country Life in America. THE FARMER IS KING. Hia Products Can Now Buy More Than Ever Before. The only individual having his hand upon the money of the people tociay is the farmer the raiser of provisions and breadstuffs. He alone, over syndicates or international bankers, is king. He can buy more of the foreign products of the earth with his wheat, his corn, his oats, his hogs and cattle than ever be fore in the history of the world. He is traveling, not abroad, but at home, and crowding the freight onto the sidings as he goes by in express Pullmans. He is out of debt for his farm, has learned to mark" his corn as pork and Beef, and is paying Chicago 10 per cent, for money to buy steers and swine to consume his surplus corn, and he can give $2 of value on the hoof for each dollar he borrows paying 10 per cent, interest, be happy and laugh at the Old World over the ocean that sits in the industrial dol drums, that has sent home ail its Amer ican railway shares, doubts American credit and siehs for a Morgan or a Yeikcs to tunnel, electrify and illumi nate its cities. Philadelphia News Bu reau. Estelle Taken to Illinois. Memphis, Tcnn., Jan. 8. John E. Es teile, train robber and murderer, was last night taken to Macuso. III., for trial for participation in the tram robbery at that place. George Rogers, his compan ion, must answer for having a hand in the Bonnerville (Ark.) train robbery, as a Frisco brakeman todav idenU!iedhjm as one of the men who held him up. It has not yet been decided what disposi tion will be made of Thomas Clark, hut the police are trying to dig up his rec the day and the close was Sc higher for May, at 76c, the top point of the day. CORN The early corn market was rather featureless, but the local senti ment was slightly bullish and there was fair buying from that source which caused a small advance. Trading was quite ac tive and the opening was about steady, with May a shade lower to a shade higher, at -13H64Se to 43"?H33kc. Firm cables were the main bull influence Local re ceipts were 315 cars, with oniy 3 cars of contract gTade. The strength in w-heat and a good cash demand helped corn and the close was strong, with May vc higher, at 43?ic. OATS There was a good demand for May oats and with slight offerings there was a fractional advance, the price reach ing SfzfiSic after the opening unchanged to M,a higher, at 34V"34eic. Commission houses were on both sides of the market and trading was of fair volume. Local re ceipts were 1S8 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions opened strong on greatly reduced receipts of hogs and higher prices at the yards. Brokers were again good buyers, there being quite urg ent demand for May lard and ribs, whien gave support to the market. May pork opened 10c higher, at $16.22'; May lard was up &!f71ic to TtySlOc. at SSt.oi'-z'ir.'.SS. while ribs were 7-4&loc higher, opening at J8.i2M-S8.85.

Be careful always in firing back, and in any case take time and be cool, for some one may be lagtring behind. Never fire in the direction of a house, building or stacks or at a bird flying in a line with beasts or animals or into a hedge, for some one may b on the other side. Never fail in handing your gun to a loader or beater when going to lunch or finishing the day to draw the car- I tridges. as in some cases accidents j have happened through inexperienced beaters imagining that because the gun j is handed over it must be empty, j Above ail, keep the fingers off the trig- f ger tiil ready to tire and never fidget about 't'a the hammers or mechanism or talcs imaginary shots.

Secretary Hitchcock of the interior de partment has given to Liveryman Sin son Cooper of Hot Springs. Ark, the privilege of using the water from the hot sprir.sts in his stable for the cure of debilitated and crippled horses. This is a novel idea in the treatment of horses. A large system of bathing stalls has been fitted up. and here the crirpled thoroughbreds wiil receive the same treatment that suffering human ity dees. When Secretary Hitchcock received the petition asking for these privileges, he readily saw the the advantage of it and immediately granted it. Hereafter there need be no hopelessly broken down horses on western race tracks as long as the health giving wa ters of Hot Springs can be used as an elixir to restore energy and health to the unlucky thoroughbred who may have fallen a victim to ill usage or a hard campaign. 1 1 3 CJ n j Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T.

The first witness called by counsel for the non-union miners before the coal strike commission today was Mrs. Lily Stevenson, of Schuylkill county, whose .husband worked during; the strike in the Siivet Brook colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading; Coal and Iron company. She was an eye witness to an assault made upon her husband by strikers. She said that after her husband had been knocked down twice she ricked up a stone and threw it at the men committing the as sault. She was seized and held while the beating continued. Her husband waa seriously injured. Mrs. Robert Robinson, of Tower City, told of an attack made on her home be cause her husband worked curing the strike. She was particularly bitter against her brother-in-law, James Lewis who she said led the mob. Harry Curnow, of Hazeiton. an extra engineer, said he struck, but as the union gave him no relief, he returned to work on August 23. On August 25 while on his way to work he said he was at. tacked by a crowd of unknown men and beaten unconscious. Michael Weldon, of Mahonoy City, a fire boss employed by the Reading com pany, said strikers refused to allow him to go to work, and that his house was damaged by dynamite. Thomas Foley, another Reading com pany fire boss, said he was dragged from a street car while on his way to work. Anthony Ferguson, an outside fore man at the North Mahonoy colliery, said that he was beaten while on hi3 way to work. On cross-examination he said he had never cheated the men- un der him.

Jan. 8. Despite the fact that he recently announced his intention of never again attempting to find the north pole. Lieutenant Robert Peary, the Arctic explorer, according to a Phil adelphia dispatch to the Times, declared at the conclusion of a lecture upon his last Journey to the far north, delivered ciety, that, provided anyone would place $130,000 at his disposal, he would he irill- next summer in a final endeavor to reach the pole. He said that he believed the discovery of the pole was practica ble, although it was his opinion that there was no land, and that the pole could be l eached by the man who could j secure a footing on the northern short, j of Grinnell land, with proper supplies j to enable him to make "a dash across j the ice packs." He expressed his belief that he had reached the furthest point I of land toward the pole during his last expedition, CHOIK OF 1,000 Sang at a Church Extension Meeting in Chicago.

They are made of the iitripcd silks peculiar to the period and give a special air of smartness to the costume. A vest of lace or some other soft fabric relieves the stiffness of the coat, which is most often seen with rows of silver cr gold buttons along the sides. An evening toilet of the Louis XV Btyle was on one of the manikins at Paquln's. It was cut with low bodice, over the shoulders of which flounces of lace were eo arranged as to give it the appearance of being square. The flounces formed the upper ornaments of the short jacket of white siik striped in bands of pale blue between rows of pink roses. The bodice itself was ot white all over lace, with an upper band cf black chantilly. The folded belt was also of the chantilly. The skirt was of white lace over white satin, the lower border being trimmed with an applique cf black lace, put on over gold, gauzy material. Festoons of artificial roses draped the side of the skirt. In the back were sash ends of fine white net, with fluted mousnellne de soie as a fin ish. The skirt was rather full and cut demi train. It is noticeable that on the lace over dresses the use of j;old is as pronounced 3 on the heavy street gowns. Fine gold laces are appliqued on black and white lace, and pieces of gold tissue are cleverly stt under the patterns In the plain laces to give the appearance of an fnmeshed sunbeam. Other devices are the use of gold thread to outline pat terns on lace and of embroidered pat terns appliqued upon the main fabric. Borne of the fine chiffon evening gowns are made entirely in this way, with nil over embroideries of gold. Inser tions of gold lace are made up with bands of white or black lace or bands of chiffon embroidery. The richest ef fects, however, are achieved by the combination of lace with gauze painted designs laid over gold or silver tiesucs. Cut out appliques laid over gold gal loon is one of the devices for enriching cloth costumes. The object is to avoid all gaudmess In the use of the metallic cloths and trimmings. Too much of ei ther is avoided, and those that are used are toned down by the use of su rrimposed materials of a thin stuff. Wraps of all sorts show touches of the lirlfht braids and appliques. While speaking of wraps It Is Inter esting to note that this bids fair to be a season of fur lininjs. The majority of the long wraps, if not lined throughout with fur. have touches of it on revers suid coiiar and down the front, where the ruantie is thrown open, that at any rate it may have the appearance of be ins fur lined. Velvet Is enjoying a great vogue. Faquin Is making an effort to popular ize the plaited velvet skirt. Skirts for ptreet wear have always been a moder ate length In Paris, but those for indoor lire .are, if anything, longer than before. Insertions of triangular plaitings nre c-.norg the novel devices used to add fullness, There seems to be a distinct tendency toward the polonaise or over Bkirt. Some of the smart new skirts ere made with the overskfrts cut out in 'graduated points or scallops, with an gave one to the list Thomas Dunn Eng 1'fh and Great Britain the other Philip James Bailey.

There is the story of the Kentucky colonel wdio solemnly swore that the flavor and bouquet of his finest barrel of whisky had been spoiled because some careless person had dropped a car pet tack into it, the result being an of fensive taste of leather and a slight flavor of iron. The same refinement of sensibility has become assertive in Wis consin, and has brought on a contest with the federal authority. Our neigh boring state has a large German popu lation and it maintains the reputation which that nationality has unjustly ac quired for the consumption of beer. These domestic followers of Gambrinus are connoisseurs, and assert that their palates have been insulted through the practical operations of the law of the land. The German consumers do not ob.iect to the fact that every barrel of beer Is. YiHJ! some taste printer's tnk, and the mori expert of the experts taste revenue stamp. As this introduction of bits of paper into the beer finally raised a roar of complaint a number of the dealers tore off the stamps in order to retain their customers. For this violation ot the law, without defeating its purpose, twenty of them have been arrested, and the nice question to be determined is whether they are compelled to blend the taste of good beer wdth the taste of green revenue stamps.

Some interesting side-lights are thrown on the practice and the income of the most eminent surgeon in Ger many, through a short statement that he gave out here in New York the other day. He wished to correct the erron eous impression created in the public mind through certain newspaper re ports, to the effect that his dsit to this country had been very lucrative to him "yielding upward of $160,000." "As a matter of fact," says Dr. Lor enz, "I got one fee of $.10,000, and in. the four months that I have been here have earned just that $XO,000. My practice at home in four months is worth that. My trip has been successful ethically, but not materially." It is plain then and the American public will be glad to hear it that this I largely philanthropic visit of Dr. Lorenz j to the United States has not involved any measure of pecuniary loss by him, i or any sacrilice. It ought, however, to I have yielded him much more than $30,- j 000 in money, and then have left the i medical profession and the public large- ly in his debt. I But what will naturally provoke not a little surprise here is the statement of the surgeon as to his income at home. His .practice there, he says, is worth as much as $30,000 in four months the plain inference from which is that it is not worth any more than $7,500 a month, or $90,000 a year. That figure seems al most ridiculously small when the prac titioner's wonderful skill and great rep utation are considered. In the United States more especially, perhaps, right here in New York the same combina tion of skill and reputation in a surgeon of Dr. Lorenz's pleasing personality would be worth nearer $500,000 than $90, 000 a year; and he would easily become a millionaire inside of ten years and would deserve to be one. The circumstance presents a good il lustration of the large way in which we do thinjrs in the United States and the small way in which they are done in most parts of Eur-ope. For one opera tion in Chicago- a surgeon gets a fee equal to four months' practice in Gen many, involving the" exercise of great skill, much hard work, much time, and not a little anxiety. It is extremely doubtful if, outside of royalty and a few families who could be counted on the fingers of one hand, a doctor's fee as high as $30,000 was ever paid in Europe. It is rare here. But fees reaching up into the thousands are common enough here, and w'et Dr. Lorenz has to prac tice a whole month in Germany in order to earn ST.iOO. All the talents, all the skill, in the world are not concentrated here in the United States, but all the world will admit that this is the best market for them. New York Commercial.

Jeweled effects everywhere are the result of the display of clasps, buckles, brooches and pins seen at the exposi tion. One could scarcely fancy that the art of the jeweler could be so fine and complete, considering the hard, tinmal leable materials with which, in the case of gems, he is called upon to work.

Although the departure of the husband was a crushing blo to the young wife and mother, she im mediately assumed charge of the busi ness he abandoned and bravely strug gled to keep it running despite the fact that she was totally inexperienced in business matters, having previously been prominent in social events and never having been compelled to grap ple with the sterner problem of life. Although Mrs. Whltlock immediately developed remarkable business ability, her husband left creditors who had to be satisfied. Edgar Whitlock of Brooklyn, an uncle of the missing man, obtained a judgment for $2,700 against his nephew for money loaned, and a week ago Sheriff Herman attached the plant. When it was put under the hammer last week Mrs. Whltlock's bid was the successful one and she became sole owner of the concern, while the uncle purchased the book accounts.

Today she is the wife of a weelthy j ranchman at Montana. The wedding took place the other day in Helena, Mont., and was the happy ending of a love affair j that began last February in the hospital j on Huron street. One day -a patient was brought in suf fering from typhoid fever. His name was Charles Marriatt, and his home was in Avon, Mont. He had been on art eastern tour and was taken sick. He dreaded to think of lying on a sick bed among entire strangers, and thought that he might be able to get back to his western home oe for3 he was stricken down completely. So he hurried away from New York and started on the long journey westward. But the disease came upon him with un relenting force and by the time Cleve land was reached. Marriatt was firmly in the grasp of the fever. He was critically ill and was taken from tne train and hurried to a ward in Huron Street hos pital. Miss Currie was one of the score of nurses on duty there and it fell to her lot to care for the western ranchman. She nursed him- back, to health and strength. The kind ways of the pretty nurse, appealed to the sick man. By the time the disease had been broken up, Marriatt was in love. When he was able to sit up he was deeply in Cupid's meshes and when he was ready to go on his journey again he told his nurse the old, old story. But the girl did not know. She wanted time to think. She was In love with her work and did not know whether she cared to give it up even for the luxury that would be hers the moment she became the bride of the western ranchman. Mar riatt rave her time to think and went away from Cleveland. But he never ceased to press his suit and letter after letter from him found their way to Miss Currie. Finally Cupid con quered and she -promised to become the wife of the man whom she had nursed back to health. The wedding day wae set and Miss Currie went to Helena to meet her lover. They were married just on the eve of the new year and have gone to Avon to live. from the ancient orientals, to whom a wonderful bit of workmanship counted for more than a rich collection of Jaw els.

(Copyright, 1)03, by O. JJ. Warner. J POPE LEO AS FA KM Ell. What Ha Has Dono for His Native Carpineto. As Pope Leo continues his wonder ful reign, seeming as the days pass to grow even more robust, people delight in relating stories about his innumer- 1 able hobbies and self-imposed duties, j As a writer of polished Horatian j verse he is well known, but not many 1 people know that he is a keen farmer. I He owns a great quantity of land at. Carpineto Romano, being, indeed, the biggest proprietor of the district. When lie came to the papal throne he deter mined, in order to show his affection for his country home, to supply the whole of Carpineto with good drink able water. The popes have always been celebrated for their waterworks, as witness the innumerable fountains j of Rome, which is the best watered city in the world. Accordingly, the pope sent for the hydraulic engineer, Guiseppe Olivieri. and ordered him. to dig-. Water was found at a depth of 300 metres (rough ly, iH0 feet), but not in sufficient quan tity for the needs of the country. Ac cordingly, Olivieri, with the pope's per mission, bored two lateral galleries. These brought forth water in abun dance. But when the summer came the earth dried up to such an extent that the water est aped through the gapirg pores of the galleries, rather than into the gaping mouths of the pea stints. Then the pontiff caused galleries and main bore alike,' to be lined with con crete. Jiut even this has hardly proved satisfactory, without reckoning that the wells have cost already over 12. 000. Pope Leo is a little sore about the poor success of his schemes, but he keeps on doggedly, and is even now planning fresh devices for the watering of his people. His property is admirably managed, and its peasant population is wonder fully free from want and sickness. Pope Leo regularly sends for his agent, examines all the books, knows to a lira whit his ground has produced, and what improvements it needs, and spends the larger part of the income derived from the land in bettering it and in building new cottages for the peasants. He has the' fondest memories of his estate, where he possesses a very beau tiful villa, surrounded by chestnut trees, among which he always spent his holidays during his collegiate days, and later, during his cardinal.ite. ny time that he could snatch from the af fairs of state. And he knew-his ten ants well, and used to visit them in their homes, where, jrreat prino of the church that he was, he would sit chat ting about the baby's teething and the old man's vheumatism. Once, not long ago, a timber mer chant made a proposal to buy some of the oidost chestnuts. .This roused the pope's wrath terribly, for his trees are his dearest possession. And the audac ious merchant was driven from the Vatican with the assurance that never, so long as the pope lived, should one of his dear trees be touched. Rome Letter to London Leader.

THIS mtl$ TELLER. Ant I Wolcott Republicans Join With Democrats in Colorado. Denver, Jan. 8. After more than six hours voting, during which the division of the vote of the Republican members who are in a majority made the election of a speaker impossible, the lower house of the fourteenth general assembly ef fected a compromise organization. Dur ing the early balloting the votes stood 17 each for the Wolcott and anti-Wolcott candidates and 31 for the Democrats. Late in the afternoon a combination was formed between the anti-Wolcott Re publicans and the Democrats which re sulted in the election of J. B. Sanford of Douglass county as speaker. John F. Vivian as chief clerk. M. K. Plummer sergeant-at-arms, and A. E. R. Lyons first assistant sergeant-at-arms. All these are anti-Woicott representatives except Lyons who is a Democrat. Tt is understood the agreement gives the Re publicans practically all the patronage of the house but prevents the unseating of the eleven Denver representatives who are Democrats. SUCCEEDS VON HOLLEBEN. Baron Speck Von Sternburg Has Been Selected for the Place. i Berlin, Jan. S. Baron Speck von Sternburg-, the Germaa consul general at Calcutta, has been appointed charge at Washington, during the absence of Dr. Von Hoileben on sick leave, Chan cellor von Buelow regarding the busi ness at Washington as so important at present as to require a special substi tute for the ambassador. The inference naturally follows that Baron von Stern burg will succeed Dr. von Hoileben as ambassador should the later's healtn prevent his return. This inference is confirmed by the fact that Chancelloi von Buelow months ago was understood to have the baron in view as Dr. von Holleben's ultimate successor. Besides President Roosevelt it was reported here two months ago had expressed approval of Baron von Sternburg should the em peror desire him, at Washington. Dr. von Hoileben has notified the foreign office that he will sail from New York on Saturday. His health was so bad during his recent leave of absence that his audience with the emperor was post poned for six weeks. It is understood that the ambassador's present leave ot absence is unlimited and that it vvill certainly extend six months. Dr. von Hollenben has heretofore found Carlsbad the most favorable place for regaining his strength, and he will probably go there upon his arrival in Germans'-. Dr. von Hoileben has heretofore was formerly secretary of the German embassy at Washington. He was one ot the German commissioners at the Sa moan conference, and was conspicuous in the negotiations following the out break of the trouble in China, when he was recalled from Washington to Berlin for a conference with the authorities there. The baron's appointment as con sul g-eneral at Calcutta was a recogni tion of his services. On December t. lHOO, he married in London Miss Lang ham, the daughter of a wealthy mine owner of Idaho and a niece of Arthur Langham of Louisville. Ky. INDEPENDENT 'PHONES.
